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

"Would I harm my king? How laughable! You should know that I have served the king for many years before you outsiders. My loyalty to the king is beyond the reach of someone as inhuman as you. However, as a fellow subject of the king, I will forgive your ignorant and foolish question."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Merlin was stunned. He looked at Rafe in disbelief and asked, "Are you crazy?"

“That’s right! It was because I was driven mad that I was bewitched by Goetia and acted so out of line. But now I have completely abandoned darkness and returned to the king’s side!”

"you……"

Seeing Rafe's righteous words, Merlin blinked, unsure how to respond. After much thought, he finally managed to squeeze out two words.

"Brilliant."

-

That's not all there is to it.

On this same day, in faraway Chaldea, they were also beginning their celebration, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

Roman, who was still celebrating that there was only one singularity left and that Artoria had returned to her world, suddenly felt that his fingers seemed to be warm. There seemed to be something shaking violently under the white glove he often wore, but it quickly calmed down. However, he felt a strange emptiness.

In that instant, his hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and he even dropped his favorite strawberry cake to the ground, a sight that made Mashu, who was standing next to him, feel worried.

"What's wrong, Dr. Roman? Are you feeling unwell...?"

She asked with concern, after all, the doctor dropping the strawberry cake was an abnormal phenomenon comparable to making Miss Artoria go on a diet, so not only Mashu, but also Da Vinci and Ritsuka looked at him.

"No, it's nothing, Mashu... I'm going to the restroom."

Faced with everyone's questions, Roman wiped away his cold sweat and forced a bitter smile. Then, ignoring everyone's voices, he quickly hid in the bathroom.

Immediately afterwards, he turned on the tap and hurriedly took off the white glove he always wore, revealing his bare, equally smooth palm.

"No...it's all gone!"

Looking at those incredibly smooth fingers, Dr. Roman stared wide-eyed in disbelief, his heart pounding wildly.

"Where did my ring go?!"

Painful screams echoed continuously in the bathroom.

He sensed that something concerning him had already happened somewhere...

-

It is located in the Temple of Time.

The demon pillars, who had been fighting Goetia for three days and three nights, were all clearly sensing what was happening at this moment.

Even Goetia, who was surrounded in the center with Barbatos under his left foot, Morax in his right hand, and both arms held by Baal, Paimon, and others, seemed to realize something at this moment and released his grip. The Demon Pillars also lost the will to continue their attack.

Then, the seventy-two figures present stared at each other wide-eyed, and then said in unison.

"The King has returned!"

Sensing that the Ten Commandments had been returned to their rightful place, and that Solomon's power and records had reappeared in the world, the seventy-one demons, as loyal subjects, began to dance wildly with excitement. Their joy was beyond words on their faces. Meanwhile, Goetia looked as if he had swallowed a fly, but he still maintained his last bit of stubbornness and the air of a boss, and spoke up.

"Even if he comes back, so what? An incompetent king will always be an incompetent king, and I will still not acknowledge him!"

Seventy-one Demon Gods: "..."

"Who asked you?"

Goetia: "—"

They're too lazy to play along with Goetia anymore. Whether you admit it or not is up to you. Is now the time for you to deny the king? You don't even know if the king will acknowledge you.

In their eyes, with the king's recognition, you are the heir; without the king's approval, who are you?

After such a long and drawn-out war, the seventy-two demon gods have become closely united. They have established a new shared network, kicked Goetia out, and are just waiting to occupy the Temple of Time, reclaim the remains, and then welcome the king.

As for Goetia...

They admitted that this guy truly lived up to his reputation as an individual born from the combined power of seventy-two demon gods; even if they all attacked together, they couldn't defeat him. However, even if they couldn't defeat Goetia, Goetia would be nothing without them.

Whether it's the burning of human reason or the complete evil of humanity, it cannot be separated from any demon god.

They've already taken all ten commandments, and Goetia has lost its last bit of forceful control. Why would they still play along with this fool?

Now that the king has returned, let's just announce a retreat and leave this place to Goetia so he can continue his role-playing. Then they can all act as guides, crowding around the king and rushing into the throne to force him to abdicate!

After that, everyone was a good demon god, except for Goetia, who was a bad one. The ending couldn't be more wonderful.

Therefore, in response to Goetia's call and the accusations against Solomon, the seventy-one demons responded with a single word: "Pah!"

Then, without a second thought, he turned and left, infuriating Goetia, who roared in anger, but to no avail.

However, halfway through, Morax, as one of the older demon pillars who had planned this counterattack, suddenly thought of a very serious problem.

Logically, the king's return required the Ten Commandments, which is why they took Goetia's ring.

But since all seventy-two demon gods are here, how did the king return?

Thinking of this, he glanced at the elated Barbatos beside him and asked, "Barbatos, where's the ring?"

"Huh? What ring?"

Barbatos paused slightly upon hearing this.

"The King's Ring! Didn't you and Floros just tear it off, one hand each?"

Seeing that the guy seemed a bit lost in thought, Morax even gave him a special reminder.

"Oh, that? I gave it to Floros. He told me he could keep it, so I gave it to him. I've been fighting Goetia ever since."

Barbatos suddenly remembered and then answered.

However, when Floros was mentioned, his expression suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is Floros? I haven't seen him for two days!"

The seventy Demon God Pillars exchanged glances and asked each other if they had seen Rafe.

"..."

The scene immediately fell silent.

"--not good!!"

At this moment, overwhelmed by the joy of the king's return and blinded by their merit in following the dragon, they seemed to understand everything. They cried out in astonishment, trying to contact Lev using the newly established group chat by the Demon God Hashirama, but...

[Demon Pillar Flauros has left the group chat.]

The seventy-one demons roared in unison, their most ferocious fury of all time: "How dare you, you insolent brat!!!"

The roars of pain and rage echoed throughout the Temple of Time, startling even Goetia, who had just become a lone wolf.

What's wrong with these guys now?

……

The main gate of Uruk.

Having obtained ten rings, Rowe was carefully experiencing the changes at that moment.

First, there's the resonance of the temple at the same time, then there's immortality, the seventy-two demon gods, the miracle of the ten rings, and even greater power.

Everything is now complete, and we are finally one step closer to our goal.

At this moment, after completing the synchronization, Luo Wei was surprised to find that his body and Solomon's power did not have any rejection reaction. He could easily control all of Solomon's records, even his Noble Phantasms. The most famous of these was naturally the Temple of Time.

"A Reality Marble..."

Looking back over this long period, the path he's taken has been numerous and varied, and he's still chosen a religious system, which is why he hasn't been able to complete the creation of a Reality Marble through a single mechanism. Although he doesn't particularly pursue Reality Marbles—after all, having one isn't necessarily better than not having one; he could easily shatter ordinary Reality Marbles like Unlimited Blade Works with a single slap—as a magician, he certainly still wants one.

After all, it's quite convenient and cool to unleash a domain with a simple command. He just hadn't expected his own inherent barrier to be this—the Temple of Time.

Leif really helped a lot this time. This Noble Phantasm is much more powerful than Unlimited Blade Works or Army of Kings. Even if King Gigi went in with Ea today, he would still get a few slaps before being carried out.

Not only did he obtain Solomon's record, but he also possessed the Temple of Time. He was now incredibly powerful! Moreover, he inexplicably felt refreshed, a feeling similar to when Kars stood up with his back to the sun.

"Really? I remember the Ten Commandments are Solomon's exclusive equipment, right? If anyone else wears them, they'll be punished by the gods... Well, I'm overthinking it."

Seeing Lovi become the ultimate being, Merlin was about to remind him of the drawbacks of the Ten Commandments, but considering Lovi's status, he obediently kept quiet. Anyone else wearing the Ten Commandments would definitely cause trouble, but if it were him, there would be absolutely no problem.

"Hmph, dream demon, are your eyes just for show? Merlin, you dream demon who's just like Romani, reeking of otaku, can't you see the truth even now? A king is a king. Even if his appearance has changed, his inner self is still that of a great king. In that case, how could reclaiming the Ten Commandments possibly incur divine retribution?"

Merlin had had enough. He now vaguely understood why Roman felt so annoyed by this group of blind men. These guys all seemed to have some kind of serious illness or blindness. He really wanted to laugh out loud, but considering that if he laughed now, Rafe would beat him up, he could only hold back for now.

"Thank you for your hard work, Floros..."

This unexpected gain left Lowe somewhat bewildered, but feeling Rafe's expectant gaze, he decided to see it through to the end. Since he was seeking excitement, he might as well go all the way!

So he looked at Rafe with feigned pity, then raised his hand, which was covered in gold rings, and gestured slightly to him before speaking to comfort him: "You truly are my most capable Demon God Pillar. Don't worry, I won't forget your contribution this time."

Let's make a big promise first.

"Oh, not at all...! It is my honor to serve the King!!"

Upon hearing the king's thanks, Rafe was so moved that he immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.

"I'm sorry, Floros, I have nothing to reward you with right now. And because this is my second life, I will definitely be very different from the person you remember. Also, the way things have turned out is all my fault..."

Seeing Rafe kneeling down, Lowe originally planned to do what he did with Goetia: apologize first, and then use the fact of reincarnation to leave some room for his own changes.

Solomon was originally just a tool; he couldn't really play the role of someone with a blank expression.

"That's not true! It's all Goetia's fault!"

However, it must be said that Rafe was indeed a good employee. He interrupted Lowe's apology and said excitedly, "The King is not wrong. The King is always the King. All the mistakes are Goetia's fault!!"

If Goetia were here, he would definitely kill this traitor on the spot.

"..."

Lowe smiled slightly and did not answer. He then personally helped Rafe to his feet, which pleased Rafe immensely. At the same time, this completely won Rafe's loyalty, making him feel fortunate for his wisdom.

As expected, I am the Demon God Pillar most valued by the King! Goetia is nothing but a weakling!!

Now it's all settled, everything's settled!!

Having already gained the King's approval and reward, once the Seventh Singularity is resolved and he returns to the Temple of Time, he can point his finger at Goetia and berate him.

Just thinking about that scene made Rafe unable to contain his excitement.

But at the same time, thinking of his compatriots who were still fighting to the death in Getia, he felt a vague sense of self-reproach.

I'm so sorry, Barbatos, Morax, Bal...

I really want to share this joy and glory with you all, but there's only one spot available, and I, I really want to improve so much!!
