That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

Since it's magic, it can be analyzed and corrupted.

impossible!

The "Human Principles for Self-Cultivation" is a wisdom that transcends human understanding, which is why it can correct humanity and is impossible for humans to comprehend.

Rafe Lenore Floros was so certain, but when he met Hall's magical gaze, he understood. That eye was like the wisdom his king once possessed, transcending time, discerning fate, and understanding the cause and effect of everything in this world.

Those are not human eyes.

shame!

Rafe Lenore Floros is the Demon Pillar in charge of intelligence, but now he is revealing the Demon Pillar's greatest secret, Solomon's magical foundation, to a human magician.

If this continues, he will lose the king's favor!

"Watch out! The Holy Grail is being activated!" Dr. Roman exclaimed.

"Damn it! Damn it! Those damned human magicians have driven us to this point!" Rafe Lenore Floros cursed viciously, then instantly regained his composure like a Peking Opera mask change: "There's nothing we can do."

Hall's brow twitched slightly as he also noticed Rafe Lenore Floros's unusual activity; a large amount of magic was activated, as if he was about to cast a spell.

The Demon Pillar's most powerful technique, Incineration, can burn everything born from the foundation of humanity.

The target of the incineration was not Hall, nor Mash and the others, but rather Rafe Lenore Floros himself.

"Human magician! One day, I will personally deal with this troublesome one."

"Seriously, this mistake is probably not something that can be laughed off, and my evaluation will likely be lowered."

Rafe Lenore Floros muttered to himself as his body was instantly enveloped by flowing demonic power, burning to ashes and leaving behind a cube-shaped Holy Grail.

To prevent Hall's Mystic Eyes from analyzing King Solomon's [Humanistic Refinement] magic foundation, Rafe Lenore Floros used the power of the Holy Grail to commit suicide.

However, as long as the temple that governs the seventy-two demon gods does not disappear, the demon gods will not die, similar to a servant returning to the Throne of Heroes.

"The abnormal reaction has been confirmed to have disappeared, and Singularity F is gradually recovering," Dr. Roman reported, exchanging a glance with Mash, both of them with complicated expressions.

Pity.

Hall shook his head. That was a good opportunity to use the power of the Greater Grail and the Mystic Eye to analyze King Solomon's magical foundation.

Although he could control the Demon Pillars' movements, he couldn't limit the power of the Holy Grail. If Hall had another hour or two, he could have made several Demon Pillars himself to make pancakes.

Hall turned to look at the unconscious Fujimaru Ritsuka, the future savior of the first stage. Her injuries were not serious; she had only suffered a sudden and intense magical shock that caused her magic circuits to deviate. She was not in any danger to her life.

"Gudako, it's a pity she's not the one from the manga, otherwise she could tear Rafe apart with her bare hands."

"Speaking of which, Gudao is the male version of Rin Tohsaka, and Gudako is the female version of Shirou Emiya. I wonder if Archer noticed the similarities just now."

Mashu was wary of Hall's gaze, though she knew it was pointless.

Hall extended his right hand, and the cube-shaped Holy Grail left by the Demon God Pillar floated automatically into Hall's palm. His Demon Eyes discerned the structure of the Holy Grail, and just as Hall had predicted, this Holy Grail was a container of magic power. Having passed through two owners, the magic power stored inside had been almost completely depleted.

Chapter 295 The Materialization of the Soul

"Mash, please take care of Fujimaru Ritsuka."

"Yes, Director."

Olga Marie, the director of Chaldea, jumped down from the platform to greet Hall. Her pale face showed signs of shock, a mixture of strength and impulsiveness in her demeanor. She raised her voice and asked, "Mr. Hall, this is our second meeting, isn't it? Please forgive my rudeness. Can you explain what happened? And who are you?"

Hall broke his contract with the Greater Grail, the blood marks on his skin faded, and he returned to his original appearance. While using magic to eliminate the remaining curse within his body, he smiled indifferently and said, "Is this question important?"

Olga Marie's eyes flickered; regardless of who Hall was, the fact remained that he had saved her twice.

The girl took a deep breath and pressed on, "At least I have the right to know the truth of the matter. This is not to satisfy my personal needs, but for all mankind. Of course, I will not and have no ability to force you to explain anything."

Olga Marie, born into a prestigious family of magicians, was a prodigy. Despite witnessing the current state of Chaldea, she still managed to understand the situation clearly.

The mysterious magician before them was a powerful being who had defeated the demon god. She was only able to put on this act because Hall meant no harm; it would be unwise to push her luck.

Hall looked at Olga Marie, the director of Chaldea, with a half-smile: "I am just a passerby in this world. Just as Servants need to avoid interfering with the correct development of the times as much as possible, it is meaningless for me to tell you the truth. It may even cause spacetime changes and lead to worse results. Even so, do you still want to know the truth?"

"Don't try to fool me!" Olga Marie said angrily, hands on her hips, her eyebrows raised, exuding a dignified and heroic air.

"Director!" Dr. Roman's projection appeared, interrupting the conversation: "I agree with what this magician said. There are quite a few people in this world who have the ability to see the future, but few of them will actively interfere with the development of the future. That's because when you take action on the concept of the future, the future itself will be deviated from its original direction."

After finishing his sentence, Dr. Roman scratched the back of his head and smiled wryly at Hall, saying, "Please forgive our director's rudeness. The experience just now has made her a little emotionally unstable. We are very grateful for your help, and if possible, we would also like to establish a cooperative relationship."

"You don't need to tell me! Roman, I'm going to die anyway when I get back! It doesn't matter what happens now!" Olga Marie shouted in despair, her beautiful eyes welling up with tears, her voice trembling with sobs. After wiping away her tears, she noticed Hall's strange gaze and glared back fiercely: "What are you looking at? I'm about to die, can't I even throw a tantrum now?"

Hall found it amusing, realizing that the arrogant girl before him had become strangely endearing. He smiled and asked, "It's okay to throw a tantrum, but have you accepted this fate?"

Accept your fate? Accept the fact that you are dead? Accept the fact that you have been betrayed by the person you trusted most?

Olga Marie clenched her fists, completely losing control of her emotions. As if using Hall as an outlet, she grabbed his collar, her tearful eyes glaring at him: "How could I accept this! Of course I'm not reconciled! Of course I don't want to die like this! I haven't achieved anything as the director of Chaldea, I haven't received praise or recognition! But I can't do anything..."

"I am already dead..."

She lowered her head, her shoulders trembling; she had no choice but to face death in despair.

Dr. Roman's voice was deep: "The current director is in a soul state, and without a physical connection, he is very unstable. Chaldea has observed that the meaning of existence is disappearing, and Singularity F is about to disappear. The only option is to teleport back."

Olga Marie said bitterly, "I know. Before my consciousness fades, Roman, I appoint you as acting director. There are many important things I need to entrust to you."

Hall suddenly said, "Don't worry, there's a way to save you."

Upon hearing Hall's words, Olga Marie abruptly looked up at Hall in disbelief, her eyes brimming with tears, and cautiously asked in a trembling voice, "What did you just say?"

“I can save you,” Hall repeated.

Olga Marie was so excited she was almost incoherent: "But I'm already dead... I'm just a spirit standing here, I don't have a body anymore... Calm down, maybe a magician like you really has a way. How exactly do I do it? How can I not die?"

"You are currently in a soul state. There is only one way for you to return to Chaldea while still maintaining consciousness."

"The Third Law [Soul Materialization]." Dr. Roman solemnly accepted Hall's words. Chaldea had already observed the changes in Hall's body when Hall came into contact with the contents of the Greater Grail System, creating a Spirit Origin that symbolized the meaning of his existence in this world.

The Greater Grail system and Servants are both products of the Third Law. The fact that Hall could create Servant-level Spirit Origins shows that he had at least a very deep understanding of the Third Law.

Olga Marie was momentarily stunned: "The Third Law..."

Hall held up the cube-shaped Holy Grail he had just retrieved and said slowly, "Under normal circumstances, this would be impossible. You are very lucky. This Holy Grail was retrieved from the Demon God Pillar and still retains some of its magic power. Furthermore, the Holy Grail itself can be transformed into a vessel for consciousness."

This indicated that Hall possessed the ability to resurrect Olga Marie, but he didn't continue.

Olga Marie stared at Hall, sensing the atmosphere: "Whatever you want me to do, I'm willing to pay any price to save my life."

Although he has a bit of a strange temper, the director is indeed a smart man.

Hall smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. As you can see, I was forcibly summoned to this singularity world by Saber using the power of the Holy Grail. Now this world is about to disappear, and I haven't found a way back yet."

Olga Marie opened her amber eyes wide: "You want to go back with us?"

"What's the problem?"

"No, rather, it's more accurate to say that someone like you is exactly the kind of person Chaldea craves."

"Let me make this clear beforehand: I will not obey your orders, nor will I interfere."

Olga Marie brushed a strand of white hair behind her ear and muttered in dissatisfaction, "What? Such an irresponsible statement."

Dr. Roman smiled wryly: "Director, I suggest we accept his proposal."

"Okay, I promise you."

"Without further ado, let's begin the soul materialization ritual now."

Hall opened his palm, and the cube-shaped Holy Grail appeared, emitting a warm light. A huge magical barrier unfolded from beneath Hall's feet, enveloping the two of them.

“This is what caused the singularity to appear.” Olga Marie stared at the Holy Grail, feeling the astonishing magical reaction.

Hall instructed, "Relax your mind and do not resist, otherwise it will affect the process of soul materialization. The remaining magic of the Holy Grail is not enough to support the second ritual to realize the Third Law. If the ritual fails, you will not have a second chance."

Olga Marie placed her right hand on her chest, arrogantly raising her chin: "Don't underestimate me. Although I am not a Master, I am still an excellent magician who inherited Animusphia. How could controlling consciousness and emotions with self-suggestion be difficult for me?"

"very good."

The warm light surrounding the Holy Grail gradually became dazzling, releasing immense magical power that enveloped Hall and Olga Marie.

The realization of the Third Law inevitably affects consciousness, just as when Hall, acting as a spectator, entered the depths of Olga Marie's consciousness to watch fragments of her memories when the Magic Eye was transplanted.

Olga Marie was born into the noble Animusfia family of the Magicians' Association. She possessed first-class magical talent, which also fostered her strong-willed personality.

However, her experience was far from smooth. Her father, who was also the first director of Chaldea, was a typical aristocratic magician, and there were very few opportunities to meet with him because of Chaldea's affairs.

Olga Marie lacked parental love from a young age. In order not to disappoint her father, she constantly honed her magic skills and became a first-rate magician. However, instead of receiving praise from her father, she was found to lack the adaptability to a Master, despite becoming a top-notch magician in the Clock Tower.

From that moment on, it was as if she had fallen from the clouds to the bottom of the valley. All her pride turned into inferiority and she used it to criticize herself. Her personality gradually became distorted in this environment. She was oppressed by an invisible force. She was powerless but desperately wanted to achieve results.

The turning point in her life came when her father died for unknown reasons, and she inherited Chaldea and her family's last wishes.

All she did was seek the recognition of her father from her memories, and the praise of others. That was all she wanted, and that was enough for her.

Hall slowly opened his eyes, as if he had just finished watching a movie, all his memories and feelings receding like the tide.

The soul materialization ritual has been successfully completed.

Hall looked up and was met with Olga Marie's indignant gaze. Like a girl whose secret had been discovered, she scolded in annoyance to cover up her embarrassment, "Peeping into other people's memories is not a good habit! Even magicians are no exception."

Hall was speechless: "I have no interest in that either. But there's nothing I can do. It's part of the ritual. The Third Law is related to the soul, so communication of consciousness is inevitable."

"you!"

Olga Marie bit her lower lip, glaring at Hall angrily. After calming down, she couldn't find a way to blame him and sighed resignedly, "I'm sorry, I overreacted. Thank you for your help. But what I saw in my memory, I absolutely cannot tell anyone!"

She closed her eyes and felt the changes in her body. After a while, she was surprised and muttered to herself, "It's a bit different from what I imagined. Not only has it retained its consciousness, but it has also inherited human personality and emotions. It's quite different from the Third Law I've heard about."

Once the soul is materialized, the constraints of the physical body disappear, and one can even use infinite magic based on the perpetual motion of the soul.

The more Olga Marie understood the changes that had occurred within her, the more surprised she became. She had originally thought that the Third Law achieved by Hall was like the Holy Grail—a half-finished product—but its actual completion far exceeded her expectations.

Who exactly is this magician? White hair and red eyes—could he be a magician from the Einzbern family?

"Are you a magician?" She looked at Hall with a strange expression.

"No, it's just that I happen to have mastered the Third Law."

Olga Marie was speechless. Mastering the Third Law, isn't that what a magician is?

Hall added, "The Five Great Laws are either means to pursue the Root or rewards to achieve it. To me, the Vortex of the Root is within reach, and the Five Great Laws are just magic tricks that are more troublesome to implement."

"Able to draw power from the source, are you a magician from the Age of Gods?" Dr. Roman asked, which would explain everything. It was not surprising that a magician from the Age of Gods could defeat the Demon Pillars and use magic that could not be replicated in modern times.

"Let's leave it at that, Dr. Roman. Can we proceed with the spirit particle transfer now?"

"Yes, everything is ready here."
