Chat group: People are in the sandbox, the system just ran away

"Haha! Hahahahahahahaha! You stupid fellow, just die miserably at the hands of your own Noble Phantasm!"

Goetia was still laughing wildly, thinking that he had defeated his past demons, but he gradually realized something was wrong. How come Roman didn't suffer much damage even though he was resisting with great difficulty?

Then Goetia realized a fact: the Crown Time Temple he built had betrayed him and was helping Solomon. He immediately understood that this was a problem caused by his use of Solomon's body as the core of this inherent barrier. After all, he was not Solomon himself. When he met the real Solomon, it was not surprising that the sovereignty of this inherent barrier would be taken away by him.

"Damn you, Solomon! Do you think you can defeat me just by looking at the remaining strength of your body? I tell you, it's impossible. Even if you abandon this inherent barrier, it doesn't matter. You will only end up dying at the hands of your own Noble Phantasm."

Goetia was a little angry and embarrassed. He could not tolerate exposing such a big embarrassment in front of his former master and creator, and now his mortal enemy Solomon. How could Goetia tolerate this when he thought he had completely surpassed Solomon and completely denied Solomon's actions? So he became more and more crazy.

"Indeed, this is the fate that a sinner like me should have, death by my own Noble Phantasm, for this was King Solomon's original end."

"Ok?"

Goetia sensed something was wrong. He sensed something wrong from Solomon's answer. Could it be that Solomon was talking about the first treasure that he didn't know about?

Goetia, who inherited most of Solomon's power, can easily disguise himself as Solomon, but there is one thing that Goetia cannot disguise, that is, the first treasure that Solomon possesses. He does not know the specific information. The second treasure, the time of wearing the crown has come, so as to inspire all things, and the time of birth of the third treasure, the time of correcting all things, are both very powerful. Goetia's ambition to become a god is also supported by these two treasures. So although he belittles and despises Solomon's various behaviors, Goetia also deeply understands the power of Solomon himself. Since the other two treasures are so powerful, then the first treasure is likely to be even more terrifying.

Thinking of this, Goetia couldn't help but give up the attack and took a defensive stance. Solomon's current behavior was very strange. It seemed that she was very confident in her first treasure. Goetia couldn't help but be careful.

Roman didn't care about Goetia's cautious and defensive behavior, but smiled casually.

"Goetia, let me feel your final magic. The time of birth has come, to rectify all things; the time of crowning has come, to enlighten all things; and the time of farewell with your final Noble Phantasm has come, to abandon the world. Such was Solomon's life."

Although Solomon possessed the almighty ring, he never used it once. At the end of his life, Solomon returned the Ten Commandments to God, as if to say that from now on the fate of mankind would no longer be dominated by the gods, but the era had arrived in which mankind would develop and grow with its own resources.

Along with the bursts of light, Gaetia felt that the foundation of his existence had completely disappeared. He had failed inexplicably. How could Gaetia accept such an outcome?

"Solomon, what have you done?"

Facing the hysterical Goetia, Roman remained calm. He too felt his own existence rapidly fading, but he wasn't panicked. This was all he had anticipated. Therefore, he was able to face Goetia's anger with equanimity.

"This is Solomon's First Noble Phantasm, which you will never know. The time of our farewell has come. I will abandon the world. When your Nine Rings meet this ring on my hand, I will be able to activate Solomon's First Noble Phantasm. This is also the reappearance of the legend that makes me feel like a human hero only..."

"No, that's impossible. How could a coward like you make such a choice?"

As Goetia had a very close relationship with Solomon, he also understood what Solomon meant and knew what he had done.

"No, stop it! Idiot, this power and this throne are not just yours, how can you do this!"

"Haha, this is truly incredible. We possess the same power and eyes, and have experienced the same amount of time, yet we have come to completely different conclusions. You pursue the almighty throne of God, while I believe this power is not a good thing for humans. It's truly bizarre."

Goetia had completely understood that Solomon had come to die with her. Solomon, who had abandoned his own existence, had arrived at the place of nothingness. Solomon's existence and achievements, everything about him would disappear in time. Even the Heroic Spirit named Solomon would disappear from the Throne of Heroes. He was truly a hateful man who had abandoned her in the past and now, when she was about to succeed, had turned everything she had into nothing. The ending he had wanted to give to Chaldea a quarter of an hour ago had become his own. This was truly absurd.

Goetia had no intention of continuing to attack Roman 3.8. He was about to dissipate, and it was meaningless to attack him or not. What he had to do now was to save his own existence. However, after thinking of all the ways, Goetia could not find any possibility of survival. This was understandable. As part of Solomon's deeds, as long as Goetia had not gotten rid of the essence of the seventy-two demons, he would never be able to escape Roman's self-destruction attack.

Ah! Is he going to disappear? Feeling his own existence almost fading away, Roman quietly closed his eyes. This coward had finally made a bold decision. Even though this was the last time, it was enough. He was so tired. Let him rest well.

"cut!"

An unusually loud male voice rang out from Roman's ears, who should have reached the realm of nothingness.

Chapter 361: Roman is no longer Solomon

Inside Chaldea, after Li Xuan announced his decision, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu didn't insist too much. Instead, they looked at the scene of the Grand Temple of Time in the light mirror that Li Xuan had opened.

Watching the love-hate relationship between Roman and the Demon King Goetia, he watched as Roman activated his first Noble Phantasm, "The Time of Farewell Has Come," thereby abandoning the world and perishing together with Goetia.

"Is it really okay? Will the doctor really disappear from the Throne of Heroes by doing this?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen. What do you think the Hall of Heroes is? A charity or some kind of company? You can come and go as you please. Solomon activated this Noble Phantasm and wanted to resign from the Hall of Heroes. Have you asked the boss of the Hall of Heroes? The two inhibitory forces don't agree. He's just overthinking it. The two inhibitory forces are very ruthless. The Hall of Heroes never asked for their opinions when recruiting. If you want to leave the Hall of Heroes, you can only get the approval of the two inhibitory forces. Neither Solomon nor his god, God, has the final say."

The two major restraining forces are very evil-hearted. How could they bear to let Solomon, such a useful tool, go?

"What about the doctor's presence? He looks like he's about to disappear."

Looking at Mashu who was bursting into tears, Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little anxious and kept shaking Li Xuan's arm.

"Stop, stop, stop! Stop it. What I said is definitely fine, don't worry. But I have to take action at the last moment. After all, this is the punishment that Roman, or Solomon, deserves."

"So what are you going to do to save him? You can finally tell me now. Give me, Mashu, and everyone in Chaldea peace of mind."

Hearing this, Mashu gradually controlled her emotions and looked at Li Xuan with anticipation, waiting for his way to save the doctor.

"You should also know what Solomon's original wish was? To become an ordinary human, completely unrelated to Solomon. But you also know that the Holy Grail is unreliable. It's just a huge collection of magical power, and in fact, it's not as powerful as Solomon himself! Solomon couldn't decide everything for himself before his death. It was only when he was a Servant that he developed his own will due to the questions of the old director, so he used the power of the Holy Grail to become a human. However, the Holy Grail was too weak to sever the cause and effect and fate between him and Solomon. In reality, they are still the same person in different stages."

"What I need to do is simple. That is to fulfill Roman's wish and completely separate him from Solomon in terms of fate and cause and effect, so that they become two independent beings. Then, since he and Solomon are no longer related, and the time for farewell has come, the Noble Phantasm that has been abandoned by this world will naturally have nothing to do with him, an ordinary person in Chaldea, and will not disappear."

"This is a great idea, implement it right away!"

After hearing Li Xuan's answer, Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes lit up. He felt that Li Xuan was indeed very powerful and this method was simply great.

Seeing that Roman was about to disappear completely, Li Xuan no longer waited. This was the time for him to take action.

"cut!"

Li Xuan used his finger as a sword, and with a gentle flick, he easily severed the connection between Roman and Solomon, based on fate, time, and cause and effect. From then on, Roman and Solomon had nothing to do with each other anymore. He was just an ordinary doctor in Chaldea.

Roman, nearly losing consciousness, was suddenly jolted awake by a loud voice. What was going on? Shouldn't he have vanished? How had he regained his presence?

Then Roman found a space channel appeared in front of him, and on the other side was everything in Chaldea that he was familiar with.

Roman immediately understood that it must be Li Xuan who took action. No one else had the ability to save him except him.

"Doctor, come back soon!"

"Yes, we are still looking forward to having a celebration party with you!"

The voices of Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka came from the other end of the space channel. Although Roman had prepared to die as a token of atonement, now that he was alive, he had no intention of dying.

"How is this possible! Why? I don't believe it!"

Having found no way to survive, Goetia had already planned to die quietly. Although he fell when he was only one step away from success, Goetia was unwilling, extremely unwilling, but if Solomon was buried with him, Goetia could barely accept it. Although he was extremely disdainful of Solomon, he still valued Solomon very much in his heart.

Solomon had chosen to kill himself, meaning he was superior to Solomon. This had become Goetia's final consolation. But now, Solomon had actually survived, escaping a situation that had nearly wiped him out. Although he felt like just an ordinary person, Solomon's survival ultimately marked Goetia's defeat. How could Goetia accept this?

So, even though Goetia was about to dissipate, he still used his last bit of strength to launch an attack on Roman. But unfortunately, it was useless. Since Li Xuan had already made his move, he had naturally considered every aspect. The spatial channel in front of Roman also included a micro-dimension with a range of several meters. This meant that Goetia and Roman were already in two different worlds. One was in the soon-to-disappear Grand Temple of Time, while the other was in the reborn extended space of Chaldea. These two situations were completely different. If Goetia wanted to attack Roman, she would need to have the ability to break through the barrier between different worlds. Unfortunately, this was absolutely impossible for Goetia, who was already on the verge of disappearing.

"No! I absolutely cannot accept that a coward like you could actually survive!"

Faced with Goetia's impotent rage, Roman did not pay any attention or mock her, because he understood that the reason he was able to survive was not due to his own strength, but entirely because of Li Xuan's help, so he had nothing to be proud of.

Faced with Roman who left without looking back, Goetia, who was quietly waiting for death, also lost his last chance to survive. Because of his limited life, he gained the perspective of a human being and realized the joy of life. He understood that he, the human king, would be able to break free from Solomon's shackles, and thus, when the time of Solomon's first treasure came to say farewell, he abandoned the world and survived.

Li Xuan's act of saving Roman in front of Goetia destroyed Goetia's chance for redemption. How could he, impotent and furious, possibly comprehend the joys and sorrows of humanity? This was also intentional on Li Xuan's part. He had many ways to save Roman, but only this one would be enough to kill Goetia and destroy her heart. For the culprit, there was no exoneration; there was only one outcome: disappearance.

Chapter 362: The betrayal of Chaldea's employees

"Welcome back, Doctor!"

"Doctor, it's great to have you back."

"Roman, you can't leave all these tasks to me alone!"

"Acting Director, welcome back!"

………………

Roman was touched by the welcome from Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu, Da Vinci and the Chaldea staff.

"Thank you, thank you everyone, and thank you very much for your help, Your Highness. Otherwise, I would not be able to come back."

In response to Roman's thanks, Li Xuan acted indifferent.

"Don't thank me. I took action mainly because of Ritsuka and Mashu's request. If you want to thank someone, thank them!"

"No! I will thank Ritsuka and Mashu individually, but the most important thing is your help. Please allow me to express my gratitude."

Roman did not neglect Li Xuan's words. Although Li Xuan took action because of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, it was still Li Xuan who saved him no matter what. He must be grateful for Li Xuan's help.

"Alright then! Now that you've said that, I'm going to use Chaldea to do something. In that case, you and Chaldea should come and help! But there's no rush. We just defeated Goetia. Let you and Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others rest for a while and deal with the various matters after defeating Goetia. I'll come to find you in three days."

Since Roman said so, Li Xuan decided to ask the people from Chaldea to help, which would also reduce some of his troubles.

"No problem. We will definitely take care of the Chaldea matter and come to help you in three days."

Roman's tone was very firm when he answered. After all, this was not only to repay Li Xuan's kindness, but also to understand what big thing Li Xuan was going to do. If he participated in it, he would have a clear idea in his mind.

Not only him, but also Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu answered quickly. They were also deeply helped by Li Xuan. Now if Li Xuan needed help, they would be happy to lend a hand.

But unfortunately, although Roman said it well, it was not so when he did it.

Before three days had passed, Li Xuan, who had been resting alone, was disturbed by someone.

"I'm telling you, your position as acting director hasn't been approved by the Clock Tower at all. It's fake. You made your own decision, and it doesn't count at all. And your talk of saving humanity is complete nonsense. The Clock Tower demands that you all accept its investigation."

As soon as Li Xuan walked out of the door, he saw a magician performing a magic show in an arrogant manner, while Roman was still standing there in a timid manner, which made people angry.

"Roman, what the hell are you doing? Why waste your breath on such a small fry? Why not just kick him out?"

"Did I bother you?"

Roman couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Li Xuan coming out. He had always wanted to hide this matter from Li Xuan, but he didn't expect that the special envoy from the clock tower would let Li Xuan know about it.

"What else? Why don't you get rid of him? You're not the kind of person who hesitates."

Li Xuan's tone made the Clock Tower envoy beside him very dissatisfied.

"Who are you? How dare you...?"

Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Li Xuan. Li Xuan really had no interest in listening to this insect-like person.

"What's going on? What's a mere clock tower? You Chaldea's heroic spirits are no pushovers, are you?"

"Those heroic spirits have been sent back to Valhalla."

Hearing this, Roman smiled bitterly again.

"what happened?"

Li Xuan was a little puzzled. Roman was not such a stupid person. He naturally knew the importance of force. How could he cut off his own arms and send all the heroes back to Valhalla? What was going on?

“This, this…”

Roman hesitated and seemed a little reluctant. It was obvious that there was something wrong.

"Hurry up and tell me! Do you think you can hide it from me?"

Under Li Xuan's harsh rebuke, Roman finally told the truth.

"It was the others in Chaldea who reported the incident, and they cut off the supply of magic power to the Heroic Spirit and sent him back."

When humanity was about to perish, naturally everyone worked together to save humanity without any selfish motives. After all, humanity was about to perish. But after defeating Goetia, the crisis of humanity being burned out was resolved, and things became different.

Being able to share adversity but not wealth has happened countless times in human history.

These employees of Chaldea are all standard magicians. They are subordinates and members of the close forces of the old director of Chaldea, Marisbilly Animusphia. As a result, the old director of Chaldea, Marisbilly Animusphia, died first, and the power of the Animusphia family was already undermined. As a result, the new director of Chaldea, Ermaya Smithret Animusphia, the heir of the Animusphia family, also died.

When Humanity was burned, these Chaldea employees worked hard to restore Humanity. However, after the restoration of Humanity was successful, the complete demise of the Animusphia family could not be ignored. These magicians did not care about morality and ethics. They did not care whether Roman and Fujimaru Ritsuka were the heroes who saved Humanity, and they sold them out.

In the original world line where Roman disappeared, Chaldea's ending was also the same. The employees of Chaldea were all magicians of the Clock Tower, so they would naturally obey the orders of the Clock Tower. At that time, the opinions of a small rookie magician Fujimaru Ritsuka were naturally ignored, which led to the predicament of Chaldea itself. Otherwise, with the Heroic Spirits in hand, how could the Clock Tower dare to force Chaldea?

This time Roman was also there, but the ending did not change much. The defection of the Chaldea employees made Roman's situation very delicate. Without Li Xuan's presence, let alone protecting Fujimaru Ritsuka, even Li Xuan, who was trying to protect himself, would not be able to escape.

In other words, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who has no physical condition and average magic skills, is not in much danger. The Clock Tower looks down on her. However, Roman, the predecessor Solomon, is very dangerous.

As the founder of magic, although Roman has lost his power, the knowledge in his mind is extremely valuable.

However, these employees of Chaldea also lacked some information when they backstabbed. What they didn't know was that Li Xuan, Elle, Ishtar and other visitors from the seventh singularity were not heroic spirits, and their methods did not work well on Li Xuan and the others.

So, originally, when the Chaldean employees backstabbed him, Roman could have simply informed Li Xuan. However, Roman, having spent so much time with these people as a human, wanted to keep it a secret. After all, if Li Xuan found out, their fate would be dire. Li Xuan wasn't one to be trifled with, so he ultimately failed.

Chapter 363: The Abandoned Clock Tower

"I'm talking to you!"

Li Xuan was speechless after hearing Roman's answer. Roman was indeed fit to be a beast of burden. He had self-awareness for too short a time and his estimation of human nature was insufficient. Without Solomon's power, he would be fooled by these magicians of Chaldea.

Are you still trying to hide it for others? They won't appreciate it, and they're still thinking about your magic knowledge as the Magic King Solomon!

"Roman, what makes you think you can handle those people in the Clock Tower? Just because you're the teacher of the Clock Tower's founder, the Magic Marshal Bao Shiweng, and that the builders of the Clock Tower are all your apprentices, don't take it for granted!"

"These magicians nowadays don't care about that. Jewel Master has been disregarding affairs in various parallel worlds and has little influence at all. As for respecting teachers? I feel that the magicians in this clock tower established by your apprentice have gone astray at some point. Aside from their human bloodline, their spirits have long been alienated and have nothing to do with humans."

"Do you think they don't know that their heritage is deeply connected to the Magic King Solomon? They do know, but they just want an old man like you to blast out gold coins."

Li Xuan ruthlessly shattered Roman's fantasy. He didn't think these magicians would value his identity as the ancestor of 317! What a joke!

"Don't think about it. I think it's because Goetia's seventy-two demons have been using your magic heritage to influence these magicians, making them as cold and ruthless as Goetia. They only care about becoming the root. Their behavior is just as cruel and cold-blooded as Goetia, without any human emotions at all."

Li Xuan made a guess, and after thinking about it, it might be true. Most of the standard magicians that appeared in the Type-Moon world were magicians within the influence of the Clock Tower. People like the apprentice of Jewel, the Aozaki sisters, and other magic organizations seemed to be much more humane than the magicians of the Clock Tower.

“Hey, I…”
