Goetia seemed to understand something and began to mutter to himself.
[Great! Great! This guy's going to believe it, he's going to believe it... he's almost completely convinced.]
Although he couldn't hold it in any longer, Luo Wei really couldn't laugh right now; if he did, everything would be ruined.
He hadn't expected that Getia would be even more immersed in the role than he was. Although Lo Wei had done role-playing and acting contests with others many times before, this was the first time he had done it like this.
Especially as he felt the special effects on his body becoming heavier and he becoming more and more sacred, the real observer above him was clearly more satisfied than anyone else, so he generously offered his help. If the act continued, he himself would almost believe it.
As he spoke, under Goetia's shocked gaze, disregarding the servants behind him who were ready to attack at any moment, he grabbed Goetia's trembling hands and said gently, "I'm sorry I'm late, Goetia, but it's not too late to stop now."
"Is it too late...? Haha ...
"Don't make me laugh, Solomon!"
Goetia suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, then abruptly pulled her hands away from Luo Wei's grasp. Her previous terror vanished, replaced by anger, coldness, and agitation as she pointed at Luo Wei and shouted, "Now you dare talk to me about backing down? Solomon, you're so arrogant! You've always thought this way, both in the past and now! You always think you understand us, understand my heart! You always hide your thoughts and refuse to confide in us. Everything has turned out this way because of you!!"
"Now that we've found you, this pointless game should end. You're no longer Solomon. I'll make you understand just how utterly incompetent you are! And I'll let you witness firsthand the powerlessness to change anything! Demon Pillar, move! Seize Solomon and eliminate everyone present!!"
Unwilling to face the situation, Goetia pointed at Lovi and shouted angrily, then ordered the demon pillars behind him to seize Solomon. However—
"..."
Even after issuing the order to attack, the demon pillars he had commanded remained motionless. Noticing this, Goetia angrily turned around, casting a look of anger and confusion at them. His pitiful expression was like Mordred's after being rejected by Artoria, making the Servants present wonder if he was about to cry.
(Your persona has crumbled, Goetia!)
"Why aren't you doing anything? You bunch of good-for-nothings! Hurry up and do it!!"
Goetia, loudly questioning the Demon Pillars, had an extremely terrifying expression and tone. Although he looked aggrieved, the magical power and aura he unleashed were no joke. However, Goetia seemed to be worried about hurting Lovi in front of him, so he didn't unleash a truly terrifying attack, but simply shouted at the Demon Pillars as if he had been betrayed.
"..."
However, the seventy-two demon pillars behind them remained silent. Although they had been indignant and passionate during their discussion, pointing out Solomon's faults, when it came to actually attacking him, they all took a step back in unison and shook their heads in unison, like rattles.
This is incredibly disrespectful; even if they had ten times the courage, no Demon Pillar would do such a thing today.
"Goetia, this won't work..."
At this moment, Rafe, with his rich experience as a double agent and excellent double agent skills, stepped forward, shaking his head. He said with a troubled expression, "That's our king! How can we..."
"That is not our king! He betrayed us, he abandoned us all! He left us without saying goodbye for that absurd wish!!"
"But even so, he is still our master—ahhh!!"
Before Leif could finish speaking, Goetia, still furious, punched him so hard he flew onto the roof of the palace. Then, looking at the equally hesitant Demon Pillar behind him, he roared in fury, "Have you forgotten our grand plan and ideals?! Have you forgotten the original intention of burning humanity?! How can you be swayed by the appearance of this man?!"
"But……"
Faced with Goetia's questioning, even though the Demon Pillars present had a thousand words in their hearts, not one of them answered him.
Although they were quite saddened by Solomon's sudden departure, the joy of seeing the king reappear and being reunited with him made their sadness seem insignificant. They could simply pass the time by having the king away from home, as long as the outcome was good, right?
"Fine, fine, a bunch of traitors! Since none of you are willing to do it, I'll kill him myself!"
Seeing the Demon Pillars collectively betray him and waver in their allegiance, Goetia turned away in anger, raising his palm towards Lovi. Soon, a surge of magical energy gathered in his hand, preparing to personally deal with the man who had once abandoned him.
"Stop it!"
"Mash, go protect Mr. Love!"
"Amitabha Buddha, calm down, benefactor Gethia, you cannot commit patricide..."
Seeing this, the other Servants drew their weapons and prepared to rush up to stop Goetia. However, Lovi moved faster than them. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Goetia, less than a meter away from the light cannon that Goetia had conjured.
At this distance, if Goetia were to unleash its beam cannon, even Lovi wouldn't be able to dodge it. However—
Gaitia's hands trembled as he gazed at the familiar figure bathed in golden light, at that calm yet compassionate smile. It was a smile he had seen countless times before, a smile from someone he had long ago decided to betray. But now, why? Why couldn't he bring himself to do it? Why did this damned man have to appear at this crucial moment and shake his resolve?!
"I'm sorry, Getia, I've worried you."
The calm words that came from Luo Wei's mouth, though containing no magic or spells, were more useful than any Noble Phantasm at this moment.
At this moment, Goetia felt his heart pounding faster and faster, and the magic he was circulating in his palms was also very difficult. The ball of light he had been building slowly dissipated before Luo Wei's body got close. His arm fell down, so heavy that it was difficult to lift it again, until his aura completely collapsed.
“It’s pointless. You’re just an ordinary person now. Killing you would be meaningless, Solomon…” Goetia sighed, then glanced at the many Servants behind him and said, “These guys can’t stop us. The Burning of Humanity will be completed. You can’t change that outcome.”
"Ah."
Luo Wei smiled without saying a word.
"call……"
Dr. Roman, far away in Chaldea, watched as Goetia's magic power index on the monitor steadily declined, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
Although the development was somewhat strange... no, it could even be described as somewhat bizarre.
But the ending was quite good.
Judging from the current situation, Goetia probably won't go on a killing spree anymore.
However, seeing his creations acting as if they were blind, randomly recognizing people, still made him feel extremely nauseous. He had instilled a great deal of knowledge in them when creating Goetia and summoning the demons, yet they seemed completely unsuspecting, leading Roman to wonder if their visual systems had become malfunctioning due to years of neglect.
Although there were many flaws and Roman felt awkward being targeted, he was fortunate to have lived as a human for eleven years. His mind was currently only on Magical Merry and his figurine wife, and he had absolutely no intention of rushing out to claim them. Seeing Goetia not only mistake him for someone else, but in such a poignant way, Roman couldn't help but chuckle.
"Pfft..."
"What's wrong, Romani?"
Leonardo da Vinci also looked over with a smile.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm just glad to see that things turned out alright."
"Oh, really?"
Leonardo da Vinci's smile seemed thoughtful.
"Just accept your fate, Solomon."
After dissipating the magic, Goetia regained his arrogance. He glanced at Lovi before him, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You are no longer qualified to command us. We have lofty ideals and boundless ambitions, things you never possessed in the past. Of course, if you now admit your mistake and are willing to join our salvation plan, returning this body to you is not out of the question."
"Yes, I really appreciate that you're still concerned about me at a time like this, but that's impossible."
However, in response to Getia's suggestion, Lowe simply shook his head and said softly, "I did make mistakes in the past, but that doesn't mean you're necessarily right now, Getia."
"what do you mean?"
"Literally, Gaetia, what happened in the past was my fault, leading you to this point. Although I understand that your ideal is to make the world a better place, what you are doing now is by no means right. You and I are both at fault."
"So how do you plan to resolve this?" Goetia's eyes narrowed.
“Since neither of us can convince the other, let’s make a bet, Goetia.”
Luo Wei said calmly, "Six of the singularities of the Burning of Humanity have been resolved, and we will soon reach the final Temple of Time. If all the singularities are repaired, then we can sit down and have a good talk. At that time, I will tell you everything. How about it?"
Without a doubt, these words were all Luo Wei's empty promises to Getia. He could see that Getia was currently in a state of mental collapse and was hesitating whether to continue fighting.
At times like these, all he needs to do is give Goetia a way out and have him admit his mistake, and the problem will be solved.
Although Goetia's essence is a sustaining spell left by Solomon to protect human reason, it is more similar to Mordred's situation; both sought to prove themselves to their fathers. However, Goetia's method of proof was to correct the human reasoning he didn't approve of, thus accomplishing the great feat of creating the world.
In other words...
He could have dealt with Mordred by stroking his hair, coaxing him, giving him approval, offering him a way out, and praising him until he was overjoyed and didn't care.
As for the agreement?
Anyway, once the Sixth Singularity ended, I took my wife and ran away back to my own world.
What does your seeking out Solomon have to do with me, Luo Wei? We're not acquainted, we really aren't acquainted.
Now all we need to do is try to coax him away.
"So many years have passed... and you're still as stubborn as ever, Solomon."
Goetia did not answer, but silently turned away.
“Let’s go back, Floros, Barbatos… There’s no need to waste any more time with this incompetent king.”
Although there was no answer, there was no massacre nor refusal, which means that Goetia tacitly agreed to the bet or the agreement.
Now that things had come to this, the arrogance that had been on his face had completely disappeared. After seeing the person he had been looking for, the rest of the people present had lost all interest in him.
Goddesses, Servants, or even Chaldea's Masters... they are all insignificant. Although he could easily eliminate them with a single move, he had no interest in doing so, let alone doing it in front of Solomon. It would make him look somewhat embarrassed and lose face.
So Goetia feigned composure, then casually opened a dimensional gate in the palace of the Sixth Singularity, leaving without a second thought. The Demon Pillars followed him in, while Leif, whose head was stuck in the ceiling, jumped down from above before leaving, then trotted over to Lovi, handed him the Holy Grail—which he had just snatched from Ramses II and used to fix the Singularity—and bowed respectfully.
That tense, devout, yet somewhat comical demeanor subconsciously reminded Luo Wei of his partner in his own world.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Although I have much more to say to you, let's save it for next time. This is the Holy Grail that I offer to you."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Floros. You truly are my most capable general."
(The most useful tool, no matter the world.)
Loewi accepted the Holy Grail and didn't forget to praise Rafe.
"No, it's not hard at all! Your Majesty, don't worry, no matter what they choose, I will always stand by your side! Just wait for my good news!"
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Rafe heard that, apart from Goetia, he was the only one among the Demon Pillars whose name was being called. His expression brightened, and after a serious bow and pledge of allegiance, he reluctantly left at Goetia's urging. The royal palace, which had been preparing for a raid, immediately fell silent again.
At that moment, the surrounding Servants rushed over and surrounded Lovi.
Gudako: "Love-senpai, are you really the King of Magic?"
Artoria: "Darling, what exactly is going on?"
The Tripitaka Master said, "Amitabha Buddha, I was wondering why the aura on your body was so special, and there was actually such a reason."
"Since there's no need to fight... then wasn't Lord Lancelot's death just now incredibly unjust?"
Amidst everyone's chatter, someone suddenly uttered this statement.
They turned to look at Bedivere, the little angel who cared most about Lancelot, and after a full three seconds of silence for Lancelot, they turned their attention back to Rowe.
Compared to Lancelot, they were more concerned about whether Rowe was truly the Magic King.
After all, the fact that he produced the Magic King's Ring and simultaneously donned heavenly special effects and miracles was incredibly convincing. Furthermore, Lovi's familiarity with Goetia and the Demon Pillars was like that of a father to his child—flawless and impeccable.
These questions were ultimately irrelevant to both Artorias, since they both loved the current Lovi. However, if that were truly the case, then she could understand why Lovi was so skilled in combat and possessed so many magical abilities—after all, he was the King of Magic.
Magic King, Magic King...
With this title, it's only natural that one possesses countless magic tricks.
“Solomon… just take it as yes, Goetia may still be watching, whether I am or not, I am now.”
Having just finished showcasing her acting skills, Luo Wei was under more pressure than any of them. She let out a long sigh, but still had to pretend to be nonchalant and completely put on this disguise.
