That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

"Do you remember our agreement?" Hall smiled slightly.

The goddess of the underworld, Ereshkigal, said frankly, "I have lost, but once this matter is over and you are turned into a ghost, I will keep my promise and become your servant, so that we can stay together in the underworld forever."

Leonidas I halted his army, removed his helmet to reveal short red hair and a rugged face, and stared coldly at Hall: "So you actually colluded with the monster Gorgon? Was this your plan from the beginning?"

Hall had fought alongside him and was a comrade he respected and admired. Nothing was more regrettable to him than Hall's betrayal.

Fuma Kojiro brandished his short sword and said coldly, "Betrayal and being betrayed are commonplace for ninjas. Victory and defeat are everything. However, I will repay you for everything that happened to me."

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada gripped the sword at his waist, his expression cold and stern: "Let's settle this once again. I have grown stronger in that world now."

Not only did he return from the Dark Souls world with enhanced abilities, but he also received the blessing of underworld power (soul).

They are now like messengers from the underworld.

Flames erupted from the thick fog, and Tomoe Gozen, transformed into a demon, stepped forward without a word, raising his flaming longbow, the arrows burning with demonic flames.

"hateful!"

Gorgon returned to Hall's side, standing in front of him to warn everyone.

The Quetzalcoatl alone was troublesome for her, and even with the Holy Grail in hand, she wasn't confident she could deal with so many powerful Servants at the same time.

Chapter 479 The Price of the Truth

In the Demonic Front, Holl and Gorgon faced two goddesses and a human-formed Servant lineup, resulting in a near reversal of power in terms of combat strength.

"Wait a minute, I want to talk to the teacher."

Fujimaru Ritsuka stopped the group from attacking.

"Teacher, please stop. Although I haven't known you for very long, I truly consider you my most important friend. When I feel discouraged, it's you who encourages me. So I don't believe you would do such a thing."

In the tense atmosphere, Fujimaru Ritsuka shouted loudly at Hall, her resolute and ardent gaze touching everyone's heart.

What standard idiotic lines from a protagonist in a shonen manga! And in the end, what he wanted to do perfectly fits the plot of a traitor being redeemed.

Hall curled his lip, finding it amusing but unable to find the words to express his disbelief. However, those who were whitewashed were usually those who lacked a clear understanding of what they wanted to do, and were ultimately stopped and persuaded by the protagonist through words.

Jin Gu is a typical example.

Hall is clearly not that type. He sees himself more as a thoroughly evil type like Kirei Kotomine or DIO, who would harm the collective interest for personal gain and find pleasure in the misfortune of others.

Saving humanity was merely a casual act in building God's throne; a large part of it was a commemoration of past memories.

The projection of Chaldea showed Leonardo da Vinci's figure, who then advised, "Hall, your actions are similar to the ideals upheld by the Lion King. Even if your starting point is for the sake of humanity, it is nothing more than self-gratification in the eyes of humanity. If you are willing to cooperate with us, you can embark on a broader path with your abilities."

Hall smiled and countered, "Self-satisfaction? Who decides that, you? Chaldea? The restraint? Or the root?"

Faced with Hall's disdainful attitude, Da Vinci's expression grew cold: "I don't deny that you have a perspective above mine, and I don't know what you saw, but this arrogance based on uncertainty is meaningless; it's just a curse called clairvoyance."

"Humph."

Hall smiled slightly, reached out and drew a line of primordial runes in the void, which evolved into a magic circle and then layered on top of each other, eventually evolving into a ball of light that recorded information.

"Da Vinci, you're right. Arrogance based on uncertainty is meaningless. Take this; it's my final answer."

Hall flicked his finger, sending the magic orb containing the information to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Mashu nervously stood in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Da Vinci reminded her, "Mash, it's alright. That's a magic device used by the Atlas Institute to record information. It can be sent back to Chaldea through the observation device on your wrist."

“Mashu.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka patted Mash on the shoulder, and after Mash walked away, she stretched out her right hand. Her wristwatch activated a magic circle to absorb the light sphere containing the information and transmit it to Chaldea in another dimension.

Leonardo da Vinci deployed a ritual array to receive information from Hall through Chaldea's technological equipment.

In that instant, Leonardo da Vinci saw records far exceeding her imagination.

"How could this be..."

Her expression grew increasingly subtle and grim, as she struggled to believe what the information presented.

"Da Vinci, are you alright?" Dr. Roman asked anxiously.

Da Vinci's forehead was damp with cold sweat. He shook his head, his hands gripping the table in a daze. "This is astonishing! If it's all true, what kind of being is that guy, Hall? What he saw isn't just at the level of the Lion King, it even surpasses the Magic King..."

"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep be ...

A piercing buzzing sound suddenly rang out, and all the staff in the Chaldea observation room were thrown into chaos for a moment. They stood up, looked at each other in bewilderment, and then simply hid under the table.

They were very familiar with this warning sound; it was the same sound that rang out when Rafe betrayed Chaldea and detonated the bomb, which directly resulted in the deaths of more than four-fifths of Chaldea's staff.

Dr. Roman asked anxiously, "What happened?! Why is there a Level 1 warning?!"

An observation room staff member reported incredulously: "Yes, the cause has been identified. It's not a problem on our end. All communication with the Seventh Singularity has been severed, and in addition to physical damage, access has been restricted."

"Lift the restrictions immediately!"

"There is no way to undo it! It's not due to technical reasons, nor is it due to enemy invasion, but rather it's a principle established when the Chaldea system was founded, and it comes from the Chaldea Director's orders."

Dr. Roman's eyes widened in disbelief: "Director Olga Marie... Impossible! No matter how much she cares about Hall, she wouldn't do such a thing. Her sense of responsibility is stronger than anyone else's! She wouldn't betray us..."

"Possibly," Leonardo da Vinci said with a wry smile to Dr. Roman.

Dr. Roman looked at Leonardo da Vinci with a puzzled expression and said slowly, "What do you know?"

“If the information Hall conveyed to me is correct, then the director has every reason to do so.”

"why?"

"For the sake of humanity, for the sake of Chaldea, for the sake of Hall, and for you."

"I?"

"To prevent you from reaching that world through Chaldea's technology after losing all your abilities, Solomon the Magic King."

Dr. Roman paused, scratched the back of his head, and smiled wryly: "As expected, the one who burns humanity and calls himself the King of Magic is related to me. Tell me, what did you see?"

Leonardo da Vinci already knew his true identity, but the fact that da Vinci revealed it meant that his identity was necessarily related to the whole event.

······

After the light sphere fully received the recorded information, Chaldea's projection was severed, and it fell into complete silence.

"what?"

"Chaldea is not responding!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka found it very strange that no matter how she called out to the watch, she did not receive a response from Chaldea.

"Senior, something's wrong. The magic power in this body is draining away." Mashu said with a pained expression.

Because they lost Chaldea's observational support, their existence in this spacetime became ambiguous, placing them in a state similar to Schrödinger's cat in quantum theory.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others were not originally from this timeline; they only came to exist in this timeline through Chaldea's constant observation.

Without observational support, their scale of existence becomes quite fragile, and the most direct impact is that they cannot exert their full strength.

Fujimaru Ritsuka retorted angrily, "Using such methods is despicable! Teacher, what did you do to Chaldea?"

Hall shrugged. "Knowing the truth comes at a price, and I think Leonardo da Vinci would be happy to accept that deal."

In reality, Hall did nothing, nor did he tamper with Chaldea's communication system through the information orb. Informing Da Vinci of the truth was merely incidental; his real purpose was to cover up Olga Marie's actions in cutting off Chaldea's observation system.

Otherwise, her position in Uruk would become quite awkward, and it wouldn't be surprising if she were executed.

Chapter 480 Chain Explosions

Let's stop here.

"The last Master in the world who came to uphold human morality has lost the observational support of Chaldea and can hardly maintain his existence in this time and space."

"Are you still planning to continue?"

Facing the numerous covetous followers, Hall remained calm and smiled, though to them, that smile was full of mockery.

Fuuma Kotaro teleported to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side in spirit form, wanting to take her away from here, "Let's get out of here first."

Mashu lost her ability to fight, and Fujimaru Ritsuka held Mashu in her arms. Before being taken away, she stubbornly said, "The doctor said that as long as you are human, you have the possibility of communication. As long as you can communicate, you can understand each other. If we have to solve this through fighting, I don't intend to run away."

Hall sighed softly: "Ritsuka, being ordinary is your strength."

Only mortals can become the protagonists of this world. This is not some vague destiny, but a curse of restraint.

That ordinary girl eventually grew into a savior who could talk a good game.

Hall preferred the old Fujimaru Ritsuka.

After Kotaro Fuuma took Ritsuka Fujimaru away, the last buffer disappeared, and the battlefront was filled with the smoke of war, ready to erupt at any moment.

"His meticulous approach is as always; he truly is a magician among magicians."

The skeletal bride spoke coldly, her tone ambiguous, whether it was sarcasm or praise. Her voice transformed into crimson thunder from the underworld, surging forth from the shadowy earth beneath her feet. Her words unleashed a storm of death, bringing an end to all things.

Dark clouds obscured the sky, and the temperature plummeted, as the power of the goddess of the underworld began to affect the monster front.

"How pathetic! The goddess who rules over death would actually fight for the survival of humanity—what hypocritical mercy!"

The Gorgon standing in front of Hall roared with a ferocious expression, its golden wings fully unfurled, its snake-like hair hissing, and a crimson barrier spreading from its body, keeping out the underworld's crimson lightning and death storm.

Click~ Click~

The clash of the two forces distorts the rules of the world, causing them to cry out in despair, and escalates into a struggle between concepts.

呲味味~

Crimson lightning crashed against the barrier like a sea, each bolt of Netherworld Crimson Lightning capable of evaporating a Servant's Spirit Origin, but even millions of bolts of Crimson Lightning could not shatter Gorgon's [House of Blood].

It combines the power of Tiamat, the mother goddess of creation, with the support of the Holy Grail, and its strength and conceptual depth have reached the level of a chief god.

The skeletal bride said coldly, "Say what you will, the souls of all humans in this world are my property, and I will not allow you to decide their fates on your own."

buzz~

The death storm intensified, tearing the earth apart. A sea of ​​crimson lightning surged forth, engulfing the land, and even more spirit cages floated on the sea of ​​lightning, the souls imprisoned within emitting silent wails.
