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

To restrain Jeanne Alter at present, the only option is to use magic such as gravity pull, but setting up that type of magic takes even longer than activating the King's Power with Fujimaru Ritsuka.

As time goes by, Fujimaru Ritsuka increasingly feels that the injuries to her body are gradually increasing, and if this continues, she might really die.

"Solomon, quickly use your invincible wisdom to think of a solution!"

In her desperation, Fujimaru Ritsuka placed her hopes on Solomon, with whom she was bound by life, hoping that this Israeli boxing champion might have a way to break the deadlock.

"The current situation has exceeded my initial expectations. In the past, I was always in a state of perpetual power of the king, so I did not encounter the situation you are facing now."

Solomon's voice echoed in her mind, and upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka gritted her teeth and began to think about how to break the deadlock.

If things continue like this, there will only be one future path: we will all be dragged down to our deaths. Damn it, think again, you must have some ideas.

"Ritsuka, retreat with Mash and the others immediately. If this continues, we'll all perish here."

Before Fujimaru Ritsuka could come up with a good solution, the director, who also felt powerless about the current situation, spoke up.

"No, we can't do that! We can't leave the director here, he'll get dirty."

Mashu showed no intention of complying with the director's decision, while Fujimaru Ritsuka gave her a look of approval upon hearing this.

After getting to know her for a while, Mashu didn't hate Olga Marie even more because her father was the culprit who caused her to end up in this situation; instead, she became friends with her.

"It is indeed a great insult for the dead to be treated as vengeful spirits and become the henchmen of villains. It is a defilement of the soul. You should leave now. I will deal with Joan of Arc."

Siegfried insisted at this moment that in his eyes, he, as a Heroic Spirit, was already a dead body, and that his response to the summons was only because others needed help.

Now is the time for me to make my own sacrifice. I'm not confident that I can hold off Jeanne Alter and Siegfried. In any case, even if I succeed, I'll probably have to return to the Throne of Heroes anyway.

But before that, he could pass on the things that the guy who saved him had given him to these survivors.

However... it seems none of my companions used this weapon in this battle, so it looks like I'll have to leave the task of finding the inheritor of that weapon to them.

With this thought in mind, Siegfried used all his strength to try to stand up. People's physical constitutions cannot be generalized. Possessing the Blood Armor of the Evil Dragon, he walked towards Jeanne Alter with a determined spirit.

Looking at the unsteady Siegfried and Jeanne Alter, she clapped her hands and said softly, "As expected of a heroic spirit who has left his mark on history, even with his body in such a state, he can still stand up by force through his willpower."

"Truly remarkable. In that case, I shall return the favor. I will not lay a hand on the Chaldea until I have defeated you."

"This is indeed good news. Oh, that fallen saintess, let me now begin my final battle in this singularity!"

As Siegfried spoke, he continued to drag his body forward, while Mordred tried to join the battle but was powerless to do so.

"Even if you went there now, you wouldn't be able to hold out for more than a few rounds before your magic dissipates. You actually chose this doomed path to death. As expected of a powerful figure on the Throne of Heroes."

"Damn it... this power is far too troublesome for Heroic Spirits; I'm completely unable to move right now."

Mordred felt powerless in the face of the situation, while Mash knelt on the ground with her lips tightly pressed together.

"I can't do anything right now... I'm too weak, I'm just too weak."

Mashu's voice trembled with a sob, for she could only watch helplessly as her companions went to their deaths one by one because of her own weakness.

Faced with this situation, Xia Qing certainly wouldn't do nothing. He had always treated the three of them equally.

The original plan was for Mash to awaken her own power in the Second Singularity, but now it's not impossible to bring it forward a little.

"You're right, you're really too weak, just like you used to be, cough cough, I mean, um, just like my heart used to be weak."

Actually, I am quite strong.

Seeing Mash and Jeanne Alter speaking with empathy, she suddenly realized halfway through that she seemed to have revealed something, and quickly corrected herself.

However, right after she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something was wrong, something was really wrong.

Why am I so weak? Why don't I have that kind of great power?

Judging from the previous battles, under normal circumstances, the other version of myself should be stronger than the current version of myself.

The problem is that after being betrayed, one's strength should not have changed at all, nor should there be any opportunity to improve it.

As Black Jeanne thought this to herself, the director on the other side had already completed the spell while she was in a daze.

"Now is the time to run away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the director, who had cast a bunch of speed-enhancing spells on himself, grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash with his arms and one Heroic Spirit by the collar with each hand and made a quick getaway.

"Despicable Chaldeans!"

Jeanne Alter directly condemned this scene.

Chapter 736: You're so good at riddles, are you from Terra?

"My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror; everything I do is righteous."

In response to Jeanne Alter's accusations, the director subtly curled the corners of his lips, coughed twice, and said, "Well, this is just a strategic retreat, preparing for another offensive next time."

You better not let me catch you!

Jeanne Alter caught up at an extremely fast speed. Taking advantage of the time that had been wasted in the previous conversation, Director, I did more than just give myself a bunch of speed-up spells.

"Now, let's rest there for a bit."

Just as Jeanne Alter stepped into the spot where the director had been standing, the director's cheerful voice rang out.

Instantly, the surrounding environment began to glow with a star-blue hue, and the dazzling light illuminated the area. Beams of light from different angles attacked Jeanne Alter, who had maxed out her agility for fear of being too slow.

The director, who had been constantly being "flying a kite" (a metaphor for being taken advantage of), is now in a comfortable, very comfortable mood.

After creating some distance, she reminded Fujimaru Ritsuka beside her, "It's time to activate the power of the king."

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded and then raised her right hand: "It's time to unseal that sealed power."

A few seconds later, the power that had been sealed within Fujimaru Ritsuka's body was released.

A few seconds may seem short to ordinary people, but to a Heroic Spirit who can unleash a thousand cuts in a second, it is a fatal flaw.

This power is essentially an energy crystallization that comes with its own set of auxiliary magical logics to help the user apply various assistance.

"It's time to switch to the offensive!"

As soon as the director finished speaking, she, who was originally trying to escape, turned around and ran back to Jeanne Alter's location. Jeanne Alter, who had not given up the chase and had been held up for a while by the previous compound magic, also closed in on the director.

"This is really... a battle that disappoints me somewhat."

The doctor sat in the control room, legs crossed, and shook his head, making his stance clear: he was not satisfied with the scene.

On the surface, he seemed quite disdainful, but in his heart, the doctor thought the opposite.

Well done!

Tactics are also key to saving humanity, Olga, you did a great job, a great job!

"Indeed, I thought I would be able to enjoy a good performance, but I did not expect to receive such a poor return in the end."

Ebony Maw looked displeased, shook his head, and continued, "This performance was truly disappointing. It's time to end this boring farce."

"Kings, Fujimaru Ritsuka has stolen Solomon's royal power. Let us kill Fujimaru Ritsuka!"

The doctor looked confused after hearing this. What was this "King's Power"? When did he have that thing?

And the kings... as if there were other people here besides himself and Ebony Maw.

However, no one answered his questions. As King Solomon, Roman knew perfectly well what the Power of the King meant in Ebony Maw's eyes.

Xia Qing, disguised as Ebony Maw, strictly adhered to this setup, when suddenly a voice rang out in the control room:

"Since they dare to steal the power of my ally, then we must teach that fool a lesson about the methods of the Dark Quadrant."

Who?

The doctor was startled by the sudden sound. Could there have been another person besides himself and Ebony Maw?

The direction of that sound... it seems to be coming from over there, right?

Curious, the doctor looked towards the box Ebony Maw had produced after his failed attempt to pledge allegiance. A moment later, a somewhat indistinct voice emanated from within the box:

"Of course, perhaps we misunderstood. That share of the King's Power might have been given to that ordinary person by the Magic King in a moment of pleasure."

The sound...is it coming from inside the box?

The doctor was slightly confused, but his expression remained unchanged. Although he didn't usually like to use this attitude, he had no choice but to play the role of the mastermind behind the burning of humanity.

Since he is a king, he must have the aura of a king. It is definitely not okay to talk to him as easily as an ordinary person in the past.

At this moment, he believed that there should be a device similar to a pager inside the box, and that the owner of the voice was communicating with him through this device.

"Pleasure?... Ha, that power wasn't my doing. Speaking of pleasure, that unknown guy is much more pleasurable."

However, that laughable ant made a grave and heinous mistake: it dared to attempt to imitate a power it should never have touched.

The doctor was trying to imitate the arrogant tone of various kings when the voice from inside the box sounded again: "Is it just imitation? I was really blind to that."

My ally, I can't just stand by and do nothing in this situation. Let's take this as a friendly start to our cooperation.

We both know the truth about that matter, and there are many ways in which your grand plan and my plan can complement each other.

"When the time is right, we can have a proper talk about that matter and that thing."

Riddler, get out of Chaldea.

The doctor's first reaction to the voice coming from inside the box was to ask him to stop talking so vaguely, about some grand plan or some other thing.

I have absolutely no idea what any of these things are.

However, he also knew that if he actually said it, the consequences would definitely not be good. In the current situation, he might be retorted with something like, "This is Chaldea, you're the one who should get out."

Now that Chaldea has been completely taken over by this group, I cannot survive without disguising myself.

However, judging from the meaning of that voice, it seems that the things that he didn't explicitly say, the Magic King Solomon should know?

After looking at the location of the box and thinking for a moment, the doctor spoke:

"I know a little about your plans, and you are right. Our cooperation will indeed help advance my grand plan."

As for that thing and that matter… it’s really not the right place to talk right now. We all know that Chaldea has ears everywhere.”

Perhaps there have never been riddle makers, or perhaps everyone is a riddle maker.

The best way to disguise yourself from the perspective of a riddler is to become a riddler yourself.

When pretending to be someone else to try to obtain information, in addition to simply demanding it, it is also necessary to reveal some information appropriately.

It's no secret that Chaldea has been overseen by the Earth Cat Cult, and the fact that the walls have ears is no secret. Upon hearing the doctor's words, the voice from the speaker rang out again:

"Indeed, we all know the situation here, so it's best not to discuss anything too confidential."
