My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

This gun was fired.

An aura of destruction permeated the entire bridge. Gungnir's gun continuously emitted white arcs of electricity, like snakes. These arcs contained powerful destructive force; they left several feet deep marks on the ground, as if it had been plowed, simply by grazing it.

Hui gripped the gun, and in an instant, the destructive arcs of electricity on the gun seemed to have found a target, surging wildly toward Hui. However, this high-density magic disappeared the moment it touched Hui.

These electric arcs are manifestations of high-density magic, and to the Soul of Nothingness, magic is a delicious treat, and no amount of it matters.

Gungnir seemed to have gotten angry. It was a legendary weapon of the chief god, a true weapon against the gods, not something that could be used by just anyone.

As a result, the number and intensity of electric arcs continued to increase, and the temperature of the entire bridge soared rapidly, with countless frosts evaporating and billowing steam rising.

The reinforced concrete ground beneath Hui's feet was already billowing thick smoke from the immense ionizing heat, and Hui, at the very center, was already wrapped up like a dumpling by countless electric snakes...

However, a short while later, the electric arc dissipated, revealing Hui inside, completely unharmed, not a single hair missing.

On the contrary, Gungnir seemed listless and had lost his temper.

Seeing that the treasure had "gotten what it wanted," Hui looked ahead.

Weber, who was not far away, exchanged a glance with Hui.

In an instant, he felt his heart tighten, as if an invisible boulder was pressing down on his body, his mouth trembled uncontrollably, and his mind went blank.

He thought Hui was going to kill him.

Because it's just him and Hui here, what else would Hui do if she took out a weapon but to kill him?

'But was using such an obviously extraordinary Noble Phantasm to end her life her final act of mercy?'

Weber had already accepted his fate of death. He would not run away, because that would only make his death more gruesome. Therefore, he might as well be killed honorably.

However, Hui's gaze simply passed over him without lingering, finally settling on the empty space to his left.

Hui stared intently at the empty air, her beautiful eyes filled with seriousness, and said, "Hey, how much longer are you going to stare?"

Weber immediately realized what was happening when he saw this bizarre scene.

Some hurriedly moved away from the empty space that was clearly empty.

He believed in Hui's abilities.

If such a powerful god says there is something there, then there must be something there, even if he can't sense anything no matter how he looks or uses magic to perceive it.

really.

A short while later.

The void there seemed to ripple like waves on the surface of water, and then a strangely dressed, white-haired man appeared.

The man was very young, looking to be in his early twenties, and dressed in an outfit resembling that of a medieval magician. What was particularly striking was that each of his ten fingers was adorned with a gold ring, making him look like a nouveau riche.

However, they are different from nouveau riche.

He possessed an ancient, mysterious, and detached air about him; a fitting description would be... arrogant and disdainful of others.

Yes, that's what it means to be arrogant and disrespectful!

That kind of gaze that, though clearly looking at you, makes you feel like they're looking at the world behind them.

Gilgamesh's arrogance stemmed from his belief that the world belonged to him.

So this man's arrogance stems from the fact that he is merely an observer of the world.

Just like people watching TV dramas, it's like looking at things from God's perspective.

He is Goetia, but he is currently using the image of King Solomon.

Goetia, as the collection of the seventy-two demon pillars, is actually a spell created by Solomon, the father of human magic, during his lifetime—the Human Principle Refinement Formation.

Meaning: A system that more effectively promotes correct principles.

After King Solomon's death, the seventy-two demons sealed inside his body developed independent thoughts. Over the long years, the seventy-two demons eventually succeeded in being reborn in the image of Solomon.

The reborn Goetia attempts to overcome the "imperfection of mankind" that King Solomon has always ignored.

To accomplish such a thing, only a god could do it, not a human.

However, he is not a god, he is not even a human being, but merely a sentient technique, and therefore he has limitations.

In order to break through his own limits and gain the possibility of infinite adjustment, he thought of going back 4.6 billion years ago to witness the moment when the "celestial body" appeared in this field and absorb all the energy—to transform himself into a new celestial body and recreate this planet.

Simply put, he wants to replace Gaia and become the god of this planet!

In that case, he could rewrite Genesis at his own will and create a planet without the concept of "death".

A project of this scale requires immense magic.

There is only one Earth, and even if the Earth (the foundation) is burned, the amount of heat obtained is pitifully small.

But life forms living on the planet's surface are different. No matter how you harvest them, they can always thrive again.

By simply converting all of human history from 1000 BC to 2016 AD into magic, one can obtain the magical power to transcend time and jump to the origin of this planet.

Therefore, he needs to create singularities to cut off the flow of history and exclude the connection between the past and the future!

Then, the future spans the past, and all the land is reclaimed.

One second, one minute, one hour, one day, one month, one year...

While returning to the past, we also recycle the heat generated during that time.

This method recovers approximately 3000 years' worth of "the planet's maximum heat."

In this way, we can extract resources from the present to the past almost endlessly!

Of course, this method is limited to this "predetermined future" world.

The world is like a book, written from beginning to end, which is why it is possible to travel from the future to the past.

The first singularity that Goetia decided on was the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City in the 1990s.

However, when he arrived in this era, he discovered that this era itself was rife with distortions.

It's like a huge rock suddenly crashing into a calm river, creating massive waves that spread upstream and downstream.

He even felt that he didn't need to take any action; the past and future of the entire world would collapse because of it.

He used his EX-level clairvoyance to investigate the cause, but all he saw was a blur; the future and past of this world were uncertain.

This was the first time he had encountered something like this.

The future and past of the world should be predetermined, but now it seems that a new, unknown variable has been introduced. Moreover, this variable can not only affect the future, but also the past.

He can't see what this variable is.

The only thing that can be confirmed as the cause of this effect is the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.

With no other option, he could only watch the Holy Grail War with his own eyes, trying to find out what was really going on.

So he came to the bridge and began to observe.

He completely ignored the unusual weather in Fuyuki City, because he had seen many Fuyuki Cities before, and some Fuyuki Cities had weather that was different from others.

Moreover, he doesn't have the habit of going online and doesn't know about the news these past few days.

He watched Rider and Archer fight from the sidelines, and also watched as Hui finally ambushed and killed Archer.

In his eyes, Hui was Lancelot, the Berserker class.

As for why Lancelot is a woman? And why she possesses divinity?

That's just being naive. He's seen countless worlds, some of which feature Gilgamesh as a blonde woman, so it's not surprising that Lancelot is a woman.

As for divinity, that's even easier to explain; it's just a tool for Gaia to do the dirty work.

Goetia knew that the so-called gods of this world were merely tentacles derived from the planet Gaia. Therefore, despite daring to call themselves gods, they lacked even the power to destroy the earth; they were just larger pieces of trash.

However, the black puppet that Hui used and the way he ultimately "killed" Gilgamesh puzzled him.

Even as the father of magic, he couldn't tell what kind of magic it was.

In the end, Hui was able to accurately spot him.

Goetia frowned slightly. How could a mere god, a lackey of Gaia, discover him hidden in the imaginary space?

The imaginary space is his unique inherent barrier. He has no other abilities but is good at hiding. He exists outside of time and space. How could a mere lackey of Gaia discover him?

······

Chapter 412 Arrogance

"Servant, how did you find me?" Goetia's voice was devoid of emotion, yet it possessed an innate detachment.

It was as if his speaking to Hui was a great favor to her.

Seeing the other person's irritating appearance, Hui didn't rush over directly.

"Who are you?" Hui asked.

Although Hui was not clear about the other party's methods of concealing himself, he could smell his "scent," the scent of his soul. This was the instinct of a soul of nothingness when it encountered "deliciousness," ignoring space.

Hui was also frightened by Goetia's imaginary space technique. Since ancient times, there have been no weaklings who can manipulate space. That is why Hui took out the Noble Phantasm Gungnir first to guard against the opponent.

As for why she encountered such a powerful figure here, Hui already had a guess in her mind; it was probably the work of the suppressor force again.

Weber, standing nearby, stared at the ten rings on Goetia's hands and at her attire, slowly becoming awestruck.

Because the Ten Commandments are so famous to any magician, they are the symbol of King Solomon, the father of magic!

'This man is King Solomon!?'

'No, no, no, King Solomon died thousands of years ago. How could he possibly be here?'

'Wait, who said someone who's been dead for a thousand years can't appear here? This is the Holy Grail War!'

So King Solomon has descended in the form of a servant?!

He used his Master's authority to sense Goetia and indeed detected the Heroic Spirit's reaction on him. However, this Heroic Spirit's reaction was similar to, yet different from, the reaction of the Heroic Spirit in the Holy Grail War, as if the other's was purer.

This is because the original purpose of Heroic Spirit Summoning was to combat the great calamity that threatened the primate world. Seven Heavenly Messengers, who are Servants with Grand rank vessels, were summoned by the Counter Force.

The so-called séance and summoning of heroic spirits were originally magic for the final battle to save the primate world, while the Holy Grail War is a product of human modification and downgrading of these techniques.

'But weren't there only seven Servants in the Holy Grail War? Why is there an eighth?'

Weber couldn't understand it, but seeing the tense atmosphere between the two sides, he decisively and quietly retreated.
