The symbol of the absolute evil demon king had already told him about a second option he could have chosen, but he did nothing at the time.

He would not be at peace if he continued to stand aside and watch God resolve everything.

Goetia: "Romanian Archimonde...? How did a mere human end up in this Grand Temple of Time? No—wait a minute. You, your Spirit Origin is—!?"

Goetia, who had always remained steadfast in her will when facing others, but had been repeatedly broken down by the gods, now, for the first time, showed a loss of composure because of the appearance of someone outside of the night.

Even Fujimaru Ritsuka, a Master who resolved several Singularities, was not taken seriously by him and was known as the worst Master in human history.

Mashu was merely an object of pity—except for Roman…

ha? !

What's going on? The others frowned.

No way—you dare steal the spotlight from the Lord? Who is this guy? He just popped up out of nowhere, or is he here to atone for his sins?

Wait, Spirit Origin—does the doctor possess a Spirit Origin?

The first to react was Gudako, who had already noticed Roman's various oddities.

Then I heard Roman start introducing himself; at this point, there was no need to hide anything anymore.

Roman slowly raised a gloved hand, preparing to reveal his identity: "Ladies and gentlemen—! Yes, I am the one Goetia was talking about..."

But Ye Meng abruptly interrupted him, saying, "Alright, Solomon—shut up!"

On that night, which brought back some unpleasant memories, a terrifying chill suddenly emanated from him, sending a shiver down Roman's spine.

Chapter 129 Heretic, Useless! You, who are you, are actually the prototype of my Goetia?

'Gulp—' Roman swallowed hard.

I'm going to die, I'm going to die—! What a terrifying chill!

Sure enough—because of the mess I made before, this person must already be dissatisfied with me.

Roman backed down, gave a wry laugh, and withdrew his hand.

But the reality was completely different from what Roman had imagined.

Night: I've fought my way here, it's almost over, and you're still planning to pull out the tenth ring? I recall the depressing ending of the Grand Temple of Time in the past world.

Before the final singularity—'Solomon! Your end is nigh! (Excited image)'

After defeating the final singularity—'Waaaaah!! Solomon!! Ahhh! Solomon, don't die! Come back!'

Do we still need you to step forward?

"Solomon?! Huh?!" Mash exclaimed in disbelief.

The real magician was actually following them the whole time?

Hiss~!! The real name that Yoru casually revealed left Gudako and the others completely stunned, their eyes wide open.

Even though Gudako had vaguely sensed that the doctor was hiding something from them, she never suspected that the doctor was a bad person. She never expected that the truth would be like this.

but--

Mashu: "Unbelievable...it's hard to believe..."

Gudako: "You're actually the Magic King Solomon?!"

That lazy bum, that good-for-nothing who only works in logistics and loves strawberry cake.

Gudako: !!!

No, you're Solomon, and you've been standing behind the scenes watching me fight my way here the whole time?

Turns out, all that begging and pleading outside was for some incredibly powerful back home. If she had known Solomon was in our Galilean lands, she would have definitely brought him out to lead the charge when conquering the earlier singularities.

Goetia: "'You bastard'!! You bastard—! This is absurd, impossible! Floros, are you blind?! No, no, everything is wrong, everything! You can't be that man!"

The spirits all had strange expressions on their faces at this moment.

If Roman himself spoke up, it could be questioned, but this was Solomon, who personally vouched for it.

Stop thinking about it. The truth is just as you guessed before—Goetia!

Professor Raef, the Demon Pillar who worked with the doctor for so many years and even had a kind of 'friendship' with him, should indeed be called a Grand Blind Man.

Hmm—if blind people could also have Grand rank!

Roman wanted to speak, but hesitated—! Mainly because Ye had just told him to shut up, he really didn't dare to continue speaking now.

Night: "Let me tell you—Goetia. This is the heroic spirit of a man who, whether on a whim or on a whim, had his tenth ring unearthed by the first director of Chaldea in a certain time and space. He was summoned to help win the final victory in the Holy Grail War and to have his wish fulfilled."

Goetia: "!!! A wish? You're saying that man actually has a wish?! How could that man possibly have a wish!"

Goetia's first reaction was disbelief, but when Night spoke in person, he had no choice but to believe. This intense internal conflict caused his whole body to tremble and twist violently!

impossible!impossible!

They have already proven that the 'king' is a cold-blooded monster with no words or heart.

How could such a person have any desires or selfish wants?

If he really does have it—

Night: "That wish is the key factor that gave you the opportunity to steal this body. It is also the reason for the birth of the world line where humanity is burned away."

Goetia roared, "What wish did he make?"

Ye glanced at the doctor sitting upright to the side, not daring to utter a word like a primary school student, smiled but said nothing.

(Gudako: Riddler, get out of Chaldea!)

Goetia glanced at Roman and suddenly exclaimed, "!!! Was his wish to become this pathetic loser? No, impossible. But the result is already before our eyes."

At this moment, Goetia finally snapped out of her daze. Previously, she had been so misled by Roman's appearance that she hadn't considered that possibility at all. Now that she knew he was Solomon himself, she deduced the truth—and with her omnipotent perspective, similar to that of the king—and searched through countless possibilities in her mind…

The least likely, yet most fitting for the current situation, and most obvious, was the Magic King's choice to become human.

"Your wish—! Is to become human?!"

Originally, I wouldn't even question it, and I absolutely refused to believe that such an absurd wish could be the Goetia promised by Solomon. But then I remembered that a certain god had also transformed into a human and abandoned his omnipotent perspective to find a way out for humanity...

Could Solomon also be...?

No, impossible! How could that man possibly have such foresight?!

He was absolutely lucky. Goetia would never admit that he was inferior to Solomon.

Roman looked longingly at the night.

After Ye nodded, he breathed a sigh of relief, regained his composure and calm, and continued, "That's right—back then, my wish was to become a human, to become an ordinary person."

What an ordinary wish, yet what an incredible wish! An omnipotent king, divine right, royal power, and countless other rights, possessing all the things one could desire: wealth, wisdom, strength, and authority…

All the desires and ultimate goals that an individual human being yearns for can be obtained and easily achieved in that position.

But he gave up this perfect identity. He just wanted to be an ordinary person.

When Solomon’s true wish was uttered, it was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, causing countless heroic spirits to suddenly realize and be astonished, “So that’s how it is…” That explains why Goetia had the opportunity to usurp the throne.

It's not just a simple reincarnation, but a complete abandonment.

After all, the king said that his wish was to become an 'ordinary person'.

All those things that represent the extraordinary naturally have nothing to do with each other anymore.

Including the gifts that God once bestowed upon him.

Tsk—! No wonder this guy came to atone for his sins.

Not to mention that because he gave up that position, others took over and created a series of enormous calamities that threatened human history.

Judging from the outcome, this guy deserves to die a thousand deaths.

Even if his wish was so ordinary, for the heroic spirits, for the era they established, ordinariness was the greatest original sin.

Goetia cried out in disbelief, as if greatly provoked, "Heretical! Cold-blooded! Cruel! Heartless! How could the man who is my prototype possibly have desires no different from ordinary people!"

Damn it! Especially when you compare yourself to that king standing in front of you, right next to you.

Damn it—!! Instantly, the comparison made Goetia feel utterly ashamed that the other party was her prototype!

Chapter 130 Human's Last Master, Do You Have a Problem? Gudako: Well done!

Roman: "...I'm quite taken aback by what you said. Do you dislike me too much? But never mind, I'm not a qualified king like 'King' anyway."

After hearing everything and understanding that 'God's' choice was completely different from theirs, Roman was convinced of this.

He was merely lucky to have received that person's favor and gained omnipotent wisdom. In terms of nobility, he was inferior to Galahad, and in terms of benevolent rule, he was inferior to His Majesty the Demon King.

Someone like him would want to be an ordinary person—emmm, that should be fine, right?

Roman: "However—even though I don't care about the things I once gave up, the moment I became an ordinary person, I lost all my abilities, but in that instant of loss, I saw—I saw the end of humanity."

"I was immediately anxious to know 'why this is happening'... but by then I had become an ordinary human being."

I can almost recall it by closing my eyes.

As an ordinary person, he was strolling through streets filled with the festive atmosphere of the new year, feeling the simple happiness of being an ordinary human being and smiling from the bottom of his heart. But the next moment—as if his lingering clairvoyance was still intact—he saw a future where countless hands were about to devour everything!

Roman closed his eyes slightly: "Who exactly is it? What method did they use? What was their purpose? And what method should be used to stop them? 'He' has lost the ability to know these things. Because he is now an ordinary human being. However, he cannot simply sit idly by."

"Because this matter seemed to relate to me. At least after I realized it. And then my journey began. Literally, a journey to start from scratch, to relearn how to be a person."

"I don't know who the enemy is. I don't know what the opportunity will be. All I can do is endure and prepare for that moment to come."

What a lonely journey that was!

Gudako was moved: "Doctor..."

After all, the one who did all this was no longer an omnipotent king, but an incompetent ordinary person. In the literal sense, any talent or ability could only be described as 'ordinary'.

That's why it's so precious to have come this far.

If God hadn't appeared, it seems the doctors still had a last resort to help them conquer Goetia.

But even if a doctor who has become an ordinary person could regain his past powers, what would be the price?!

He has already put in a lot of effort, but before he could properly enjoy the ordinary happiness and simple life that he longed for, he began to study, study, and study and work tirelessly, sparing no effort.

No wonder—no wonder the doctors at Chaldea always looked so tired.

Even though he was already powerless, no one would say anything if he did nothing or cared about anything.
