In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

Anno tried to stop Olga Marie, but Olga Marie had already been detected by Chaldea and returned to her Chaldean state.

In other words, the Olga Marie we know now is not a physical entity transferred through spirit particles, but rather—a soul.

Unsurprisingly, Anno caught nothing.

"Tsk." Anno drew his Chalk Sword, his brows furrowed as he pondered rapidly.

He admired this strong little girl, so he couldn't bear to watch her pass away like that.

Now Leif has revealed himself to be the true Chaldea, who connects different eras through the Holy Grail, meaning—

Fujimaru Ritsuka also realized what was happening, pointed at the Holy Grail in Rafe's hand, and shouted, "Saber!"

"Understood, Master!" Anno grabbed the chalk and threw it out with a thud.

Rafe couldn't dodge in time, and half of his body was pierced by the chalk thrown at him.

Chapter 145 Rafe Lenore Floros's Brilliant Speech

"Ugh—" With half his body pierced through, the Holy Grail fell to the ground. Rafe clutched his right side and howled in pain.

Although not a living being in the traditional sense, this avatar was made very realistic by Rafe, meaning that he could feel pain.

With the Holy Grail out of control, the connection to spacetime naturally breaks down.

Chaldeas vanished abruptly, and Olga Marie, deprived of gravity, transformed back from a soul state into a physical entity after the transfer of spiritual particles, before falling from the sky.

"Mash!"

"Yes!" Mash darted forward and caught Olga Marie.

At this moment, Olga Marie had already fainted from fright.

"Ugh—" Rafe stood up despite the pain, the blood flowing out staining his green coat red.

He glared angrily at Anno: "Truly a hero of disgusting humans, exceptionally despicable!"

"It is precisely because I am a hero of humanity that I cannot stand idly by and watch humanity die and be wounded." Anno, now without chalk, looked extremely miserable.

Rafe's avatar had little power left. He glared at Anno with hatred, then suddenly smiled.

He looked at the small blue screen: "Are you listening, Dr. Romani? Since we're both fellow students studying magic, I'll give you one last piece of advice."

Romani watched Rafe through the screen, his heart breaking with grief and self-reproach.

"Chaldea is useless now. At this moment, humanity is already extinct."

Roman sighed, forcing himself to stay alert: "...Professor Rafe. No, Rafe Lenore."

He asked, "What do you mean? What does it have to do with 2016, which we couldn't observe?"

"It's not a connection, but the fact that everything is over."

"The bedroom is where you humans are dealt with, and the person in charge was sent here in 2015."

"You're just spouting nonsense about 'the future disappearing' because you can't observe the future."

He chuckled eerily, "That's just the future you all hope to observe."

"The future did not disappear, it was merely burned to ashes. Right at the moment Chaldea was stained crimson."

"The outcome is already decided. Your era is over."

"Chaldea was able to be preserved thanks to Chaldea's magnetic field, but Chaldea is facing the same doom as Fuyuki City outside."

Roman's voice was filled with weariness and understanding: "I see..."

He leaned back in his chair in despair, speaking to Rafe remotely: "The reason we can't contact the outside world isn't because of a communication failure, but because the person we're supposed to be communicating with has disappeared."

Rafe sneered, "Hmph, as expected, you're very clever. I really regret not killing you first."

Then he smiled again, his smile even more sinister because of the blood on his face: "But this is a pointless resistance. In terms of Chaldea's timeline, once 2015 is over, it will completely disappear from the universe."

"No one can change this outcome now. Because human existence has been denied by human history itself."

"It is not because you have reached the end of your evolution that you began to decline, nor is it because you fought against other races that led to your extinction."

His expression turned fanatical and excited: "It's because you are meaningless! Because you are incompetent! Because you have lost the favor of our king!"

"Just like worthless waste paper, let it be burned to ashes!"

"I thought you were some terrifying being," a voice said. "You're just a piece of trash who denies humanity because he can't understand it."

"Ok?"

Chapter 146 Farewell

Leif looked over and saw that the despicable Saber looking at him with a smile on her heavily injured body and tired face: "If you can't understand, you will choose destruction."

"Monster, I, as a hero of humanity, question you." Anno straightened up, his posture still upright even without a sword in his hand. "You—have never had any emotions?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu stared in shock at Anno over there.

Romani in Chaldea was deeply moved.

He lay listlessly in the chair, lost in thought.

“What nonsense are you spouting, Saber, Anno?” Lev’s eyes were filled with disgust. “As expected, all the heroes of human history are the same… including that Saber just now. If she had obeyed me, I might have spared her life.”

The space began to shake inexplicably, and everyone lost their footing.

Apart from Rafe and Anno.

Their feet seemed to be firmly planted on the swaying ground, their eyes locked on each other.

In the end, Rafe couldn't stand the overly honest anger in his eyes and gave in.

He said angrily, "Hmph, whatever, this singularity is almost at its limit anyway."

"It will soon be separated from history, and as for its final destination, who knows where the corrected singularity will go."

He put on his fake smile again: "Well then, farewell, Romani, and Mashu and little Fujimaru Ritsuka."

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I have other work to do. I'm not going to continue to enjoy watching you all head down the wrong path."

"You'll just have to wait to be swallowed up by the distorted spacetime. I'm not a demon, I'll still give you some time to offer your final prayers."

After he finished speaking, he opened the portal and went inside.

The portal closed, and it vanished without a trace.

"The underground cavity is about to collapse...! No, the most critical thing is that even the space itself is very unstable!" Mashu shouted, "Doctor! Please perform a spirit particle transfer immediately!"

Roman was startled awake: "Ah, yes! But... what about the director?"

Mashu, remembering Olga Marie who was unconscious in her arms, cried out anxiously, "Yes, the director..."

Anno walked over and took Olga Marie from Mash's hands.

"Leave it to me." He smiled and nodded at Mash.

Romani has already opened a channel for spiritual transfer: "Please, by any means necessary, save the director, Lord Anno!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was also very anxious, and just then, she felt the contract break.

"Mr. Anno—"

“The contract has been severed, Master. I can connect with you willingly, and I can also sever the connection.” Anno’s smile was suddenly very gentle. “Please forgive me for not being able to accompany you more on this difficult path of saving humanity.”

"I... need to help this pitiful little girl."

Looking at Anno's broken and tall body, Fujimaru Ritsuka held back her tears and said, "Yes, thank you so much for these past few days, Mr. Anno!"

After saying that, she jumped into the tunnel and disappeared inside.

Fujimaru Ritsuka is not good at handling farewell situations.

"Goodbye, strong Master... I hope we can meet again in the future."

"I am a guardian knight, so naturally I can protect you." He smiled, and golden light began to shimmer around him.

He patted Mash's head gently and kindly, saying, "Galahad, aren't you going to come out and see your grandfather?"

------------

Chapter 147 Return to Chaldea

Mashu froze for a moment, then her face fell, and she cried out, "Grandfather!"

Mash's body is not currently controlled by Mash herself, but by a consciousness deep within her Spirit Origin—a Heroic Spirit named Galahad.

He suddenly embraced Anno's fading body.

Anno, transformed into golden light, connected to Olga Marie.

He patted Galahad on the back and closed his eyes: "Long time no see, Galahad..."

"Please take good care of these three little girls..."

“I will shatter my spirit core, and the power will be injected into this little girl from the Animusfia family.”

"However, the final outcome might be different from your situation, after all, Mash was still alive at the time. Olga Marie at that time was just a ghost, and a broken ghost at that."

"The Spirit Origin will create a simple spirit body for her as a vessel, but it will only be enough to keep her alive."

"Once the spirit transfer is complete, we must quickly find a suitable body for her to possess, or simply find a high-level magician to create an artificial human body."

Anno placed his hand on Galahad's shoulder, looking into Galahad's eyes: "Goodbye, Galahad..."

“Grandfather!” Galahad tried to grab something, but Anno had already shattered, and the magic that constructed his spirit foundation had transformed into a spirit and entered Olga Marie’s body.

Galahad paused for two seconds, wiped away his tears, picked up Olga Marie who already possessed a basic spiritual body, and jumped into the channel for spirit transfer.

............

Fujimaru Ritsuka, being an ordinary person, fell into a coma after returning to Chaldea, while Mash, thanks to her Servant constitution, was only somewhat exhausted.

As for Olga Marie, she was always enveloped in a layer of shimmering white light.

Romani and Mashu quickly transported Olga Marie's fragile spirit to one of the few intact facilities currently available in Chaldea.

There, a Heroic Spirit temporarily resides, the third Heroic Spirit summoned by the Chaldea Heroic Spirit Summoning Experiment, a mysterious magician.

Then, it's just a matter of waiting for Fujimaru Ritsuka to wake up...
