Otherwise, you can find another savior.

He used up the last bit of his strength and passed out completely. Fufu followed at Altria's feet, making seemingly comforting sounds, as if telling them not to worry, Shiomi was still alive.

"It has been confirmed that Beast I's spiritual base is being destroyed, the Temple of Time is collapsing, and Chaldea is about to begin preparations to leave this coordinate. Please return and reunite with everyone as soon as possible. After reunion, we will immediately start the return spiritual transfer!"

Romani sent a communication.

Scathach picked up Fufu from the ground and looked at each other with Morgan and Altria.

"time to go."

As the four people left, the Temple of Time was collapsing into the void.

Chapter 15: Things lost, things gained.

When he opened his eyes again, Shiomi saw Morgan's face hanging above him.

To be honest, it was the first time he saw Morgan's expression so scary, it almost made him jump out of the bed.

Of course... provided that it can still move.

Consciousness gradually returned to normal, but Shiomi also discovered the problem.

My whole body seemed to not belong to me. I couldn't move, and I couldn't even turn my head.

"…Finally woke up."

Morgan's expression looked familiar.

Then Xijian remembered that when he was in Uruk, he was in a coma for ten days, and Morgan had a similar expression that time.

"Let me ask you, how long did I sleep this time?" Xijian tried to ask.

"A month." Morgan's face retreated.

She sat down beside Shiomi's bed, leaned over and reached out to touch his face.

"You won't keep staring at me like that, will you? It must be tiring." Xijian said softly.

Morgan lowered her eyes and smiled to herself, "Just now I felt that my husband showed signs of waking up, and I didn't want to miss any details, so I took a closer look. It seems my intuition was right."

"Well...but I feel like I'm completely unable to move. Did you use some magic?" asked Shiomi.

"If I had magic to restrain you, I would have used it long ago. Why would I wait until now?" Morgan stroked Shiomi's lips with his fingers. "My husband should know why my body is like this."

Divine punishment.

He squandered the gifts from God without restraint, and the punishment from God did not turn him into ashes. It was just a miracle among miracles that he fell to his current state.

"It's good that you're still alive." Xijian smiled.

At this time, Morgan's hand reached out from under the pillow, supported his neck and lower back, and after helping Xijian up, he held him with one hand and adjusted the position of the pillow on the bed with the other hand, allowing him to sit naturally against the head of the bed.

"But you also become extremely weak. There is no one to protect you. Any child can take your life." Morgan felt helpless but understood.

The battle in the Temple of Time was the only way, other than the original solution, to defeat Beast I - the Demon King Goetia - without sacrificing anyone.

Of course, if it weren’t for a special being like Xi Jian who possessed the power of life, he would have died when using the first ring because he could not withstand the divine punishment.

"Yeah." Xijian responded softly.

He could feel his body almost breaking down.

The magic circuits cannot be used and the body cannot move.

The only part that could move was his mouth, but he couldn't even make a loud sound.

In a sense, although we have achieved victory in this crisis of burning humanity, we have also paid a heavy price.

"Now that I look weak and ugly, I am no longer qualified to be your husband." Xijian joked to himself.

Morgan moved closer to him and looked him straight in the eyes: "I have no problem with weak and ugly beings, especially my husband. This actually turns me on."

"Uh……"

Before Shiomi could answer, Morgan kissed him forcefully on the lips.

It was an aggressive kiss, as if Shiomi was just a toy in her hands that she could manipulate at will.

But hidden behind this obviously teasing kiss was an emotion that was about to be suppressed.

He wanted to hug her and comfort her for the worries she had endured over the past month, but unfortunately he couldn't even move a finger.

After a long struggle, Morgan finally let him go with satisfaction.

"...At least let me rinse my mouth first." Shiomi said.

"Can't my husband feel it? I was responsible for your washing this morning." Morgan straightened his collar and stroked his collarbone nonchalantly with his fingertips. "Don't worry about this level of problem."

"You... take care of me?" Xijian was a little surprised.

After all, up to now, he had hardly ever been in a situation where he needed her care.

Morgan had indeed taken care of children before, but that was very different from taking care of an unconscious adult.

"Don't be so surprised. Before I became the queen, I was also an ordinary fairy and traveled for more than a thousand years. I can take care of myself." Morgan looked quite pleased. "I am even more adept at taking care of you."

"That's right. After all, we have lived together for so many years." Xijian suddenly realized.

He felt that he sometimes subconsciously overlooked some issues, for example, Morgan was not so delicate that he couldn't even take care of himself.

"But the temperature in Chaldea is not very high, and you are still unconscious, so you can only take a bath once a week." Morgan pinched his chin, "I only served you once, and it was not very satisfying."

"Really? What's the word 'serve'?" Shiomi really wanted to complain about Morgan's wording. "And I was unconscious. How did I take a shower? I just wiped my body with a wet towel--"

"Let's just put it in the bathtub," said Morgan.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll drown?" Xijian started to panic.

Morgan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm in the bathtub with you, so you don't have to worry about sinking."

"...I always feel like you seem to enjoy it." Xijian muttered to himself.

"I am really happy. I have never seen you being manipulated so much." Morgan held his hand and interlocked their fingers. "Like an exquisite puppet."

"Stop talking. I'm starting to get scared." Shiomi's tone was trembling.

"How is it, can you feel it?" Morgan asked.

She was referring to the warmth of palms touching.

"I don't feel anything." Shiomi answered apologetically.

"The result is as expected." Morgan was not impatient. She slowly let the magic power enter Shiomi's magic circuit through the contact of her hands.

Shiomi found this feeling very strange. It was as if he could see Morgan's magic power flowing through his body, but he could not get any other perception.

"How?" he asked.

"When you returned from the Temple of Time, all your body functions were in a state of near-damage. But now, not only has your body returned to normal, but even the blown magic circuits have been restored to their original state." Morgan's expression looked like he was laughing and crying at the same time. "What an amazing vitality."

"But I can't do anything. I can't even hold you in my arms and make you feel at ease." said Xi Jian.

Morgan held him in his arms, stroking his back with his hands: "Then let me hold you, my husband."

At this moment, the automatic door of the room suddenly opened.

"...Tianxi, are you awake?" Altria almost dropped his clothes in her hands.

"Is the teacher awake?"

Olga Marie, who was following behind, squeezed in.

Then Gray, Ritsuka, and Mashu showed up one after another. They came together to visit Shiomi.

However, Shiomi happened to hear Morgan's not-so-pleasant gasp, so quiet that only he could hear it.

...Well, let's stop complaining.

Chapter 16 Right or Wrong

Although Xi was unhappy, it was a big deal for the whole of Chaldea to see Tianxi wake up.

Kallen, as a member of the medical department, came with Romani Achiman, who was the head of the medical department, to give Shiomi a complete checkup.

People kept coming in and out of his room during the inspection, and when the people from Chaldea heard that Shiomi had woken up, almost all of them came over to take a look.

In the end, it was Olga Marie who used her power as director to force them all back to their jobs.

"Hahaha... People's opinions are really unpredictable. If I were sick, even if I lay down for half a year, the director would only ask me if I still wanted to do this job."

When the room became quiet again, Romani was the only one left sitting on the chair in front of the bed.

Kallen has gone back to sort out Shiomi's medical reports. She doesn't want to leave her father's affairs to others.

"Mary is not that heartless." Xi Jian smiled, "At most, she will just replace you with someone else so that you can rest and recover... For example, Karin is a very suitable person."

"…Then I guess I can't let my guard down." Romani looked like he didn't want to lose his job.

They both laughed out loud.

After laughing for a while, Romani straightened his expression and thanked Shiomi earnestly: "The destruction of the Temple of Time has been confirmed, and Beast I... Goetia also disappeared before that. Contact with the outside world is also gradually being restored, and the sky in Antarctica has finally cleared up. It can be confirmed that the crisis of the incineration of human nature has been resolved under your leadership."

"That's all." Xijian shook his head.

As he woke up, he was now able to move his head, but that was all.

"...You're right." Romani's expression was not very good. "'Revelation' is the power of the soul. It was born when Solomon was the king and the ruling machine. He was able to listen to the revelation just by occupying the corpse..."

"It seems that your master thinks highly of Goetia."

"It's hard to say. Now I have no idea why all this happened..." Romani rubbed his forehead, "If Goetia's execution of human incineration is also in line with the Lord's will, then-"

"Are our actions justified?" Shiomi raised an eyebrow. "You really have a strong faith."

"No, I will not doubt the legitimacy of our series of actions." Romani's eyes were firm, "But if Goetia planned this three-thousand-year burning of humanity because of Solomon's inaction and disappointment in humanity, then... why did the Lord allow Goetia's actions?"

"Who knows? Maybe he is planning to create a planet that belongs only to him from scratch." Xi Jian smiled indifferently, "After all, countless gods have appeared on this planet since its birth."

"Will it be that simple?" Romani scratched his cheek.

He knew that Shiomi was mocking YHWH, but he also knew that it was not entirely a joke, at least Shiomi really thought so.

"Why not? That guy asked Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. Since he is an omniscient and omnipotent God, why would he doubt the loyalty of his believers?" Xi Jian asked.

"This question is really deadly." Romani was unable to refute for a moment, "You should go and discuss it with the people of the Holy Church. As Romani Achiman, I am not a believer."

"But until your life as a human ends, you will never be able to become Solomon again." Shiomi said, "The Ten Commandments were all destroyed because of me. I'm sorry."

Romani waved his hands repeatedly: "It doesn't matter, that thing was given to you anyway. Although I was a little hesitant when I gave it to you, now I know that I made the right bet..."

"Even if there is a high possibility that I am the 'enemy of the Lord', a being similar to Satan or Lucifer, it doesn't matter?" Shiomi laughed.

"But you are a 'companion of mankind'," Romani said seriously, "You have risked everything in your life to save human history."

"I'm not as noble as you say." Xijian denied softly.

Romani thought he was just being modest and didn't say anything else: "Anyway, the work in Chaldea has come to an end. You can rest and recuperate. I have never seen a human being who survived after enduring a divine punishment that was enough to destroy Solomon ten times."

"I am the son of Tiamat." Xijian pretended to show off.

"Yes, yes..." Romani was speechless. "In any case, in my opinion, if you want to recover your fighting form as a magician, it will take a year, conservatively estimated. But the director is happy for you to recuperate here, so don't worry about your livelihood."

"Yes." Xi Jian knew what was going on. "Tell the director thank you for me."

"You should wait until she comes to see you next time and thank her in person," Romani joked. "And the director also came to take care of you during the month you were in a coma. It's amazing that a magician of her noble family can do the chores of taking care of others."

"...Wait a minute, you seem to have said something extraordinary." Xi Jian's eyes twitched, "Aren't there only three people taking care of me?"

Morgan, Master and Altria.

He originally thought so.

"That's impossible. Oh, yes, Kallen calls this filial piety by the bedside." Romani laughed non-stop. "But don't worry, there's nothing much to do. I just need to watch over you and help with the infusion."

"It's already very bad. Please quickly change this unreasonable arrangement." Xi Jian closed his eyes, with a look of despair on his face. "It's enough to have the three of them to take care of us."

"that's true……"

Romani also thinks it is better to respect the opinions of the parties involved.

"Anyway, how should I put it? It was clearly my fault, but I asked you to clean up the mess for me."

Finally, Romani returned to the topic and thanked Shiomi again.

"Solomon is a king of the past. He has done what he should do. The human world will naturally be saved by the people of the present," said Shiomi.
