My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

"I don't think I've used this image in a long time."

Wearing the image of Li Erlid, Xia Qing muttered to himself, while at the same time, on the other side, somewhere in the First Singularity, Olga sat helplessly on the ground.

"Is there any human being in this place...?"

The director, who had been working tirelessly for countless days and nights at the First Singularity, was feeling somewhat depressed. He had been promised to save humanity and explore the Singularity, but instead, he had turned it into a survival challenge in the wilderness.

Olga walked towards the nearby clear stream and scooped up some water to wash her face.

She can't care about anything else now; using magic to create water will only make her already severely affected condition worse.

It was certainly fun to throw around all sorts of amazing magic tricks without regard for cost, but once that fun is over, you have to face reality.

Having already resolved to perish together with Paimon, she ultimately faced the unbridled price: damage to her magic circuits.

Although the director who connects to the power of Shazam possesses immense magical power unimaginable to a magician, magic requires more than just magical power.

Most magic tricks from the University of Astronautics require the interaction of magic circuits and ritual props; the power of Shazam can at most replace one magic circuit.

Chapter 680: I can be one, but only for a little bit.

The ultimate cost of that previous battle was that the director's magic circuits suffered temporary damage, and it would take at least a few months to recover.

If you don't want to cause lifelong damage, don't use your own circuits in the near future. If you continue to use them recklessly, it may even cause the magic circuits to completely collapse.

If the magic circuits completely collapse, then his career as a magician will come to an end. The director simply cannot imagine what it would be like if the circuits were destroyed and unusable.

For the members of the monarchical family, the heir to the Department of Astronomy simply could not accept the fact that he had no hope of using magic.

After tidying herself up with the clear water from the stream, she was ready to continue her journey. Just like in Fuyuki City, this singularity should also have a Holy Grail.

Finding the Holy Grail would resolve this singularity and bring humanity one step closer to restoration.

If the attack that saves humanity is successfully completed, those who previously looked down on Chaldea will now look at Chaldea with new respect.

As the director continued walking along the stream toward the direction where there might be people, she thought to herself, but after walking for a while, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

There seemed to be a faint intuition reminding me that something was watching me.

The director, who mistook what was actually a sixth sense for Solomon's wisdom, immediately became wary.

Although King Solomon's consciousness is currently in a deep sleep, it seems that some of the effects of that ability are still directly applied to him without failing.

For example, the powerful sense of warning brought about by Solomon's wisdom, with the thought that something would definitely attack him next, the director began to condense some single-circuit magic.

The power of Shazam provided him with an absurdly high-quality magic circuit that continuously supplied him with magical energy.

Despite having unleashed so many powerful magic spells in succession, the extra magic circuit resulting from that power didn't seem to suffer any loss whatsoever.

The director, having discovered this fact, regarded that magic circuit as a treasure that any magician would covet and would do anything to obtain.

The magic power felt comparable to that of a powerful magic marshal in his prime, and its quality surpassed that of any magic circuit I had ever seen...

Just as the director was increasingly convinced of Shazam's extraordinary power, a somewhat unfamiliar roar resounded from the sky.

Upon hearing this unfamiliar roar, the director frowned and muttered to himself, "A sound type I've never heard before. Is it from a creature that exists in this era but has already gone extinct in the future?"

As she spoke, she raised her head to see what the life that had alerted her was. At that moment, she saw a two-legged dragon looking down at Olga from high above.

"Alright, well, this enemy is indeed a bit unexpected."

Looking at the wyvern, the director revealed a bitter smile with mixed feelings. It seemed that he really couldn't handle monsters of this level right now.

Astronomical magic relies heavily on the resonance between magic circuits. Compared to some other sciences where a single magic circuit can exert considerable power, astronomical magic is undoubtedly weaker in the current situation.

Although multi-circuit magic cannot be used, single-circuit magic can be unleashed without restraint thanks to the power of Shazam, which is the master of that single circuit.

The director, who had estimated in his mind that he was probably no match for the dragon, was naturally unwilling to retreat and admit defeat. Even if it was a single loop, he might not necessarily lose to the wyvern.

"What's going on here?"

Just then, a familiar voice rang out, and the director was pleasantly surprised to hear it: "Senior Solomon!"

Upon hearing this address, Xia Qing subconsciously thought of the old grandfathers who accompany certain protagonists, but the director's combat awareness is still somewhat lacking.

"Be careful, it seems like we're still in the middle of a battle."

Xia Qing offered a suggestion, and the director immediately snapped out of his daze and cast a speed-up spell on himself to retreat quickly.

Watching the two-legged wyvern high in the sky, the director made a pistol gesture with her right hand and began to condense a magic bullet. As she condensed it, she asked Xia Qing:

"Senior Solomon, do you know how to use one magic circuit as multiple circuits?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qing closed his eyes and began to quickly deduce the concepts related to magic from Earth within the timeline of Fuyuki's extinction.

Through that concept, I obtained information on the vast majority of magic tricks, so I only read a very small portion of that information.

The sheer number of magic spells that have been passed down through a long history is overwhelming: gem magic, thought patterns, Gandr magic from Northern Europe, less widely circulated witchcraft, and the ancient magic of the gods that almost no one in modern times can use.

Even if I were to calculate with all my might now, and my computing power were already capable of predicting the future, I would not be able to remember all those magic tricks in a short period of time.

However, the magic tricks he had memorized were enough to solve most of the problems. After a quick deduction, Xia Qing soon came to a conclusion.

"I can do it, but only for a small part."

Having reached his conclusion, he spoke to the director, who, upon hearing this answer, sounded somewhat surprised: "You really can do that?"

In response to the director's surprise, Xia Qing replied, "However, the prerequisites are very high. If you want to use it, you can only reduce it as much as possible."

Roughly estimating, depending on your usage, you can treat a single loop as if it were two or three.

Upon hearing this explanation, the director dodged the attacks while seeking guidance. Xia Qing, without any intention of keeping anything to herself, directly told Olga the method she had used to deduce the solution.

Olga, who had been listening intently, gradually lost focus. What was Senior Solomon saying?

The director felt like he was listening to gibberish. Although he recognized every word Solomon said, he couldn't understand why it was put together.

Xia Qing's talent in magic methods is far inferior to that of the director, but his powerful calculation ability allows him to learn magic quickly and create magic tricks more easily than the director.

At this moment, the director glanced at the wyvern with mixed feelings, then frantically cast speed-boosting spells on himself to make a quick getaway.

Is this the world of the strong?

Recalling the words she had just learned from Solomon's Gate, Olga felt even more compelled to keep going.

The world is always bigger than we imagine. I understand the meaning of every word in the spell Solomon mentioned, but I just don't understand why it can achieve this effect.

Chapter 681: Solomon: I came to this world line in pursuit of Ner'zhul

The director recklessly used Shazam's power, and with the help of her constantly used speed-boosting magic, she finally broke free from the wyvern.

At this very moment, in Chaldea, outside the Singularity in the main timeline of the FGO world, Fujimaru Ritsuka had already prepared to head to the next Singularity.

"Discover it, we will move forward in accordance with Director Olga's will, by any means necessary."

Looking at the doctor beside her, Fujimaru Ritsuka said with a determined expression, and the doctor nodded and gave her a thumbs up: "Keep it up, don't let the director's efforts go to waste."

The spirit transfer facility was activated, and the two who were ready felt as if they were seeing a clear, sunny sky.

"Hahahaha, you've been tricked! Die, Olga!"

Just then, a wild voice rang out. Fujimaru Ritsuka looked around in a panic. The surrounding environment was not the expected first singularity, but a pale and colorless eerie space.

"Be careful, senior, it's Rafe!"

Mashu's voice rang out at that moment, while Lev, who was intercepting Chaldea and the others, revealed a villainous smile.

"Is that traitorous Demon Pillar bastard Paimon not here? Fine, let's take this opportunity to deal with you first and further reduce Chaldea's chances of winning."

After saying this, Rafe, disregarding all martial ethics, launched a sneak attack during the spirit particle transfer and immediately used the power of the demon god. However, at that moment, his expression suddenly changed: "What is that?"

At that moment, Rafe turned his head to look to the left, completely ignoring everyone else, and looked somewhat confused. Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka was wondering about this, the scene that followed in the next second answered her question.

A red sphere hurtled toward them at an alarming speed. Sensing the danger, Rafe said in an unfriendly tone, "Consider yourselves lucky. I'll let you live a little longer."

"Once we reach the first singularity, I will defeat you one by one."

After saying that, he simply ran away. Intercepting during the transfer of spiritual particles is a very risky thing.

Rafe didn't know what that thing containing terrifying energy was, but to be on the safe side, it was best to avoid contact with that kind of spiritual particle-level substance.

After learning about Leif's actions, Xia Qing's attack seemed to be mistaken by him as a natural force wandering in the spirit particle level. Leif, who had stopped the obstruction, and Chaldea arrived at different points in time at various locations in this singularity.

......

"Where...is this place?"

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes showed a hint of confusion. Looking at the Command Seals in her hand, she tried to sense Mash's location.

Unfortunately, nothing was sensed; it seemed as if Mashu didn't even exist in this world yet.

An incomprehensible language rang out at that moment. Although she didn't understand what the voice was saying, she could sense the emotion in the words.

That was fear. What was that speaking being afraid of?

Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately prepared for battle, turned around and looked in the direction from which the sound came. After taking a few steps away from the jungle, she saw a little girl looking at the sky in despair.

All around were panicked crowds trying to escape. Turning their gaze to the sky, they saw a monster that looked somewhat familiar, as if they had seen it in the Chaldea exam, swooping down towards the little girl.

If Olga were here, she would surely recognize this as the wyvern that had been her enemy not long ago.

Naturally, one cannot simply stand by and watch when faced with such a situation. Ritsuka instinctively rushed out and pushed the child away, but at that moment, she herself was exposed to the attack of the wyvern.

At this moment, Mashu was still completely undetectable. Fujimaru Ritsuka tried to dodge, but it was too late. Just as the wyvern had finished its dive and adjusted its direction, a red ball suddenly flew in from afar.

"Is that the thing we saw before?"

Looking at the red ball, Fujimaru Ritsuka muttered to herself, and just when she thought she might die so easily, the surrounding environment changed.

It was not a scene of dragon hunting; the surrounding environment had now transformed into a scene of mist gathering and red light dimming.

"Who are you?!!"

At that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka was surprised to find a brown-skinned man looking at her not far away.

"I am Solomon, the Magic King from a parallel world."

Xia Qing, playing a brown-skinned man, directly revealed his true identity, causing Fujimaru Ritsuka to feel somewhat flustered upon hearing this.

"Solomon, the Magic King, but this is a parallel world..."

Looking at the genuinely important figure before her, Fujimaru Ritsuka began to wonder what this self-proclaimed King Solomon from a parallel world wanted from her.

When faced with the doubts, Fujimaru Ritsuka "Solomon" quickly gave an answer: "Yes, under normal circumstances we would never meet. We come from different timelines, and our worlds have gone astray because Rafe did not commit suicide."
