In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

This is Goetia's special ability, [Anti-Summoning Nega Summon], which prevents Servants from being summoned and also nullifies all Servant attacks—Negation/Destruction originating from Servant attacks. It's a special ability that negates (nullifies, grants invincibility, absorbs, or reduces) all Noble Phantasms that symbolize Heroic Spirits. This ability means that regular Servant attacks are difficult to inflict on him, putting him in a highly advantageous position when facing Servant attacks, and is one of his powerful abilities as a Beast.

"It seems you haven't grasped the situation."

Although he wasn't injured, Goetia had grown bored after saying so much. He turned his gaze to Osmandis in front of him and said coldly.

"Fine, I'll think about it after I kill you. Although I didn't take those self-proclaimed saviors of Chaldea seriously, since they're all in this singularity, I don't mind taking care of them along the way. Your resistance, your story, should all end here. Game over."

"..."

Osmandis did not answer, but instead began to unleash more power to bombard Goetia.

Seeing Goetia standing unscathed despite his attacks, Osmandis's expression grew increasingly grim. He then made a decision: he would use every means at his disposal, from sneak attacks to dirty tricks, even at the cost of his royal glory, to eliminate this mastermind behind the Burning of Reason right here and now. He would not allow this heinous criminal to come within half a step of his best friend's battlefield.

Because this damned guy is far more terrifying than the Lion King!!

Thinking this, Osmandis suddenly slammed his hand on the armrest of the throne.

Boom!!

Instantly, the earth shook and mountains trembled.

A dazzling light, along with a barrier of power infused with the essence of several Egyptian gods, suddenly rose from the earth, sealing the entire great temple like a protective barrier.

Seeing this, Goetia didn't care. As long as he was a Servant, no one could harm him. So he continued to walk slowly towards Osmandis, wanting to quickly defeat the Sun King and obtain his Holy Grail.

"You really think you've got this in the bag, you monster!"

"Otherwise what? You think you still have a chance of winning? You want to use the Holy Grail that I threw into this singularity to deal with me? Are you going to defy me, the King of Magic?"

"Magic King? Hmph! Now that things have come to this, what's the point of continuing to hide and show your face? Beast!!"

With eyes burning with the brilliance of the sun, Osmandis angrily proclaimed Goetia's true identity.

As the Sun King, even without clairvoyance, he still possessed the wisdom to understand the world within the temple. Therefore, after numerous tests, he recognized the true identity of the Magic King before him! He saw through the true face of the mastermind behind the burning of reason!

"The so-called King of Magic is nothing but a smokescreen. Although you have a great connection with the King of Magic and you have stolen the legacy from Solomon, you are not a [Grand Servant], but one of the seven [Human Evil Beasts] who fight against Grand Servant!!"

"Your eyesight is really good."

Faced with Osmandis's accusation, Getia did not deny it but instead sneered in a low voice, "So what can you do now? Now that you've seen through my identity, you should understand the gap between us, right? You're not even a Grand Rank, how can you possibly fight against me?"

"How can I stop you? I don't care for a mere title of Grand Master!!"

Osmandis raised his hand high, then slammed it down on the armrest of the throne, shouting, "—All of you, come out!"

Boom!!

An even more deafening sound rang out, and with Ramses II's command, countless orbs of light began to emerge from the murals in the Great Temple, converging in mid-air to form distinct yet divine and mysterious phantoms.

These are the manifestations of all Egyptian mystery and divine power that Osmandis controlled and that have remained in the magnificent composite temple.

At this moment, under his control, these mystics regained their physical form, transforming into phantoms that, each carrying different powers, attacked Goetia.

This time, Goetia's [Anti-Summoning] was ineffective because the power of these gods was not a Noble Phantasm, but merely a few shadows left behind by those gods in the mortal realm. Ramses II did not use them as Noble Phantasms, but instead allowed these mysteries to attack Goetia in their most primitive form.

In an instant, the remaining mysteries of Egypt clashed with the demonic pillars behind Goetia and his shadow, creating chaos in the entire scene.

This was the first time Osmandis had used the powers and mysteries of these Egyptian gods in such a way, it could even be described as blasphemous. He used them without a vessel, simply as pure energy to drive and control them. If it were during the Holy Grail War, when fighting against other Heroic Spirits, even if he would lose, he would never have used them so seriously, because he had his own pride.

But when facing Goetia, a monster who manifested alone in this singularity, a monster who inherited the entire legacy of the Magic King, a Beast capable of destroying all of humanity, what does dignity matter?! He has completely unleashed his true power.

The reason is simple: if he falls, this monster will endanger his dearest friend, who is currently fighting the Lion King. It's already a huge disgrace that he can't help him; how can he let this terrifying creature pass by?! And then there's Nitocris, his slow-witted ancestor, who has just found happiness; how can he allow this creature to easily ruin it?!

Whether for his dearest friend, for someone important, or for the survival and dignity of humanity, he, the Sun King, the King of Kings, Osmandis, would not allow Goetia to leave this place unharmed.

However—the situation is really not optimistic!!

"Hey, have you had enough of this nonsense?"

Goetia spread his arms, connecting the four demonic pillars behind him tightly to his body. Instantly, the magical power emanating from his body increased several times over compared to before. The powerful force actually suppressed the Egyptian mystery that was blessed by the Holy Grail.

"It's still not enough...!!"

Osmandis clenched his fist; he could feel the power that Goetia possessed at that moment.

and……

Of the seventy-two Demon God Pillars, he is only using four at the moment.

Even so, if it can contend with my full power under the Holy Grail's blessing by using [Anti-Summoning], and even gradually suppress me, then how will we deal with the Beast when it arrives in its complete form!?

Although I am very unwilling to boost the morale of others and diminish my own prestige.

However, the Magic King in this state is indeed just a crippled Beast, with less than half of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods remaining, and the magic power accumulated from the Humanity Burning has not been used. Now is truly the only chance to defeat him.

Once the opponent reaches its full potential, it could probably turn all the efforts of Chaldea, its best friend, and itself to the ground into ashes in an instant.

Compared to this guy, the Lion King is a much smaller threat. This is the real enemy that wiped out the entire world and the true mastermind behind the catastrophe of burning humanity to ashes.

At the same time, this is also his greatest enemy!

Osmandis clenched his fist and then sighed deeply.

'It seems this is the only way…'

As he made up his mind, the Egyptian mysteries that Goetia had defeated one by one returned to his side and began to rush into his body, merging with Ramses II's physical form.

"That kid Osmandis is really going all out this time..."

Anubis let out a long sigh, while Nitocris, standing beside him, stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "No, that can't be!"

"The Sun King has actually taken the initiative to merge with divinity and has begun to borrow the power of other Egyptian pharaohs... He has set aside his pride!?"

"This is the best solution at the moment, but although his idea is good, his body cannot withstand the unification of the gods."

Through the reflection in the "Mirror of the Underworld," Nitocris and Anubis witnessed Osmandis's final act.

Osmandis prepared to forcibly compress all the divinity within the Great Temple into his body for a final battle with his enemy.

What was happening before his eyes was simply incomprehensible to a pharaoh as proud to the core as Osmandis.

Even Anubis could not have imagined that Osmandis would do something so insane as to abandon his incarnation as Ra and instead embrace all the divinity of Egypt.

This is the last attempt, and it's also a self-destruction.

Even if Osmandis set aside his pride and was willing to bear the power of the gods, his current spiritual foundation simply could not withstand the unification of the gods. Even Arjun Alter's absorption of Indian divinity was something that could only be achieved gradually when he possessed a demigod body in his previous life. For Osmandis's current spiritual foundation to accomplish such a crazy act would only lead to his own destruction.

However, Osmandis didn't care about the outcome, since his goal at the moment was very simple: to deliver the final blow and turn Goetia to ashes together.

He wouldn't do something like this under other circumstances, even if he lost.

After all, such behavior was too degrading and more shameful than failure itself.

And at this moment, for my dearest friends, for my family, and even more so for all of humanity—

The so-called Sun King no longer exists; only Osmandis remains here.

The Sun King cared about majesty and glory, but Osmandis only cared about his close friends, family, and lover.

and so--

"Are you ready, Beast? Can you withstand the next attack?"

On the throne, which contained most of Egypt's divinity, Osmandis's spiritual foundation began to tear, and even his eyes and face began to become ferocious.

Behind him, countless figures of men and women, young and old, tall and short slowly emerged, gradually overlapping with eagles, jackals, crocodiles, hippos, and many other special animals symbolizing different Egyptian gods.

"Haha ...

Deafening laughter echoed continuously from Osmandis's mouth.

His eyes, gleaming with a blinding light, were fixed on the Goetia ahead. His target was clear: the Beast, which could lead to the annihilation of humanity.

Next, he must eliminate all life in the temple before his body collapses, thus completing the feat of slaying human evil.

"The gods are united, all of Egypt is divine... Your persistence truly moves us, but it's still useless. Do you think I would give you a chance to fight to the death?"

Goetia watched as Osmandis, still preparing his final attack on the throne, raised his hands adorned with nine golden rings. This time, he would annihilate Osmandis completely before he could finish his final assault.

Do you understand?

Do you have any last words?

Hearing Osmandis suddenly speak, Goetia, preparing his killing move, asked indifferently.

"Last words? Hahahaha—!! How absurd, you foolish beast! You should understand, I am the Pharaoh, the sun of boundless light. My body will never decay, but for me, whether in the past or now, this body is far too weak. Yet even so, I will stand here, solely for those whom I control!"

"The sun is great precisely because it can illuminate even dust, and I am humanity's sun!!"

Osmandis said.

"Have you finished speaking? Then let's get going."

As he finished speaking, Goetia had already formed a magical beam cannon in his hand, which combined multiple incineration techniques and was comparable to the full-power output of the Lion King's Holy Punishment, ready to send Osmandis on his way.

Goetia never took his words about the sun or dust to heart; they were just the ramblings of a dead man.

However, just as he was preparing to launch his final attack...

—Whoosh!

Several powerful arrows pierced the air, intending to interrupt his attack.

clang!!

However, even arrows as powerful as ordinary Noble Phantasms were as fragile as weeds in front of him. They were deflected by his powerful magic the moment they made contact, without even touching his body.

Instead, the figure who had been following Osmandis's orders and had been hiding in the corner to launch surprise attacks stepped out with a somewhat helpless expression.

"It seems there's no need for any plans anymore. In that case, I'll come out." Arash scratched his head, looking at the situation before him with some helplessness, especially at Osmandis, who was preparing to self-destruct.

"Sigh, I'm really sorry to have made you fight this hard all by yourself, but this guy is indeed invincible."

"So you're still here, great hero of the East! Hahahaha—!! Sorry, sorry, I was so angry just now that I forgot about you."

Upon seeing Arash appear, a smile reappeared on Ramses II's face.

"So what is there that I can do?"

Arash raised his bow and arrow, aimed at Goetia, and asked.

"In that case, let's buy some time for Yu. Now it's time to decide the winner."

"no problem."

Without much communication, or perhaps Arash had been prepared to do so all along, he drew his bowstring taut and aimed directly at the orb of light that Goetia had been preparing, a orb powerful enough to destroy the entire Great Temple.

"It's useless! Adding another Archer won't change anything. Let's just accept our annihilation!"
