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

Joan of Arc, on the other hand, bowed to him very politely, praised his greatness, and then said something that made Lové's hair stand on end.

Heavenly Father is very pleased with your performance. He hopes you can go to Heaven. He has something to say to you.

This startled Luo Wei, who hurriedly waved his hand to explain that he was no longer a saint or a holy son, having abandoned the aspect of the Christian God, and was now merely a mortal with flesh and blood, and therefore had no way to enter Heaven.

Joan of Arc simply smiled at his words and continued, “No, the Father said that this is also part of the trial: the mercy to redeem Tiamat, the tolerance to accept Goetia, and the courage to give up everything. You have now completed all of these, and Heaven will open for you.”

"By saving two calamity beasts in this way, you not only saved humanity but also prepared for its future. You are a worthy successor. He said that after all the trials, you are only one step away from the final step, and He will help you become a true [Demon God]."

Joan of Arc then bowed and left, offering encouragement to Loewy.

Luo Wei was left alone, feeling a bit of a headache. He understood what Pigeon had said: his adoptive father didn't want to let him go after seeing how useful he was, or he wanted him to take over the business.

Although he really wanted to refuse, upon closer inspection, he realized he didn't seem to have a way to do so. Just as he was about to continue talking with Joan of Arc, the last group of people arrived.

"Oh, is he all by himself? Our savior!"

A flippant voice, a cheerful tone—Love turned around and saw a head of long golden hair; the person was none other than Smoke Mirror.

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, he couldn't help but ask with some surprise, "Tescatlipoca? You haven't left this singularity yet?"

"Not yet. I stayed here to witness some more things, but that old man left without any hesitation. Was he too trusting of you?"

Smoke Mirror shook his head, then lit a cigarette and came to Luo Wei's side, saying casually.

"All in all, you did a good job. You've helped me get rid of a big problem. It's really too much to ask me to deal with the Beast of Mercy by myself. What an annoying boss."

Upon hearing his words, Luo Wei nodded slightly.

He was well aware that asking Smoke Mirror to deal with Goetia was asking too much of a question, and he also understood that no other Grand Master besides Solomon could solve this problem, so Smoke Mirror's complaints were not without reason.

"In short, thanks to you, one of my problems has been solved. The reason I haven't left yet is that I want to tell you something."

He took a deep breath, stubbed out his cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, glanced at the sky, and said meaningfully, "Because I have made contracts with other people, there are some things I can only hint at. Please forgive me. First of all—although the Human Reason Burning is over, it doesn't mean the world is safe and sound. You should understand that, right?"

"Yes, I understand perfectly. You mean that if someone is burned out this time, then maybe someone will freeze out next time, right?"

Lo Wei nodded.

"Yes, that's it... Hmm? Wait, how do you know about the freeze on human reason?!"

Smoke Mirror nodded, intending to continue, but then suddenly realized something and looked at Luo Wei with surprise.

"...It's a secret, and I also know that your contractor is a member of Group A lying in the Spirit Frame, named Debit, and he doesn't seem to be an ordinary human either." Luo Wei didn't answer, but asked mysteriously.

"After this is over, are you going to set off to cause trouble in your own Lostbelts?"

"Ah... Hahahaha! He actually knew everything. What's wrong with this guy? Is he a clairvoyant? No, even a clairvoyant can't see things. Is this some kind of precognitive ability?"

Seeing that his little secret had been exposed, Smoke Mirror didn't hide it anymore and burst into laughter. Although it was indeed hard to bear that the plan had failed before it even started, he was still quite happy to see something so amusing.

He is not a god who can't afford to lose.

"Maybe, but I might as well be frank. I'll probably nip those guys in the bud in the bud and weaken their fighting power as much as possible. The reason I haven't reminded Chaldea yet is to let Alien God hand over the Grand Command Seals to these guys before making a move, to prevent them from finding other people to act as Hidden Ones."

Lo Wei stopped playing games with Smoke Mirror and revealed what he was going to do, which made Smoke Mirror's expression even more interesting.

"So, what are you going to do? Smoke Mirror."

"What do you want me to do? Kill you here?"

In response to Luo Wei's question, Smoke Mirror narrowed his golden eyes and looked at Luo Wei seriously as he spoke.

"Even though you've given up most of your power, you're still a top-tier magician among humans. If you're well-prepared, even I would find it difficult to deal with you. But at this close range, I should have an absolute advantage. Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you to keep a secret from you after you've told me so much?"

"Would you do that?" Rowe countered.

"I don't know... It depends on my mood, after all, I'm the fickle wind, so it's not surprising that I do anything, right?"

Smoke Mirror said nonchalantly.

"That means it won't happen, and I'm not afraid. As for the reason—"

Luo Wei also squinted and smiled at him, "If it comes to a fight, I've already found you an opponent."

"What--?!"

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Smoke Mirror's eyes. The next moment, he seemed to suddenly understand something and hurriedly turned around to look.

Less than ten meters away, a skeleton swordsman wielding a black greatsword was watching them intently, his body wreathed in eerie blue flames, ready to strike at any moment.

"Old man...? No wonder I haven't seen him all this time. So he didn't leave. He was waiting for me here to prevent me from doing anything reckless?"

Upon seeing Wang Hassan, Smoke Mirror immediately understood everything that had happened.

He muttered to himself, then retracted the claw that had just appeared, and pondered the dangerous thought of whether he could kill Rowe, and even whether killing Rowe was feasible.

Using crowns to restrict crowns, this kid is really a genius.

Two Grand Servants were fighting here, and he couldn't determine a winner with King Hassan.

In addition, this place is full of his people. If he gets bogged down, Quetzalcoatl, that bird god, and the other goddesses will definitely arrive immediately. Then he will be treated like Tiamat, kicked around by the entire Seventh Singularity Circle. Although he is confident, he is not at the point of seeking trouble for himself.

So the smoke mirror user decisively stopped.

"Although I really want to help my contractor solve his problem, there's nothing I can do. I enjoy fighting, but I don't like pointless resistance, so let's end it here. I admit defeat this time. I don't have the ability to manifest in the world on my own, and even if I wanted to go to Chaldea to rescue him, it's impossible. So, he's yours to deal with."

"Seriously, I was planning to settle the bill with some information, but this actually happened."

While complaining, he turned around and waved to Luo Wei as a final farewell. Before leaving, he threw a golden skull at Luo Wei, which surprised Luo Wei.

He continued, "Although we haven't known each other for very long, I can tell you're a good employer. Let's try to be allies next time we meet. Consider this my reward for you. If you need any work, you can use this to call me, and we can discuss the price then."

"That's all for now, bye-bye."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure in the smoke mirror disappeared from sight.

This surprised Lo Wei somewhat.

Are they just leaving like that?

Just like that, he lost his Master?

What a fickle evening breeze!

The Smoke Mirror is indeed a wondrous deity.

He held the skull in his hand and thought to himself, then thanked King Hassan, who had come as promised.

"Thank you very much, Wang Hassan."

"It's alright, this is what I've agreed to—if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

Wang Hassan nodded in a deep voice, then a gust of sandstorm swept up at the edge of his vision and he quickly disappeared.

"Walk slowly."

Seeing that his biggest troublemaker had left, Luo Wei weighed the skull in his hand and looked into the distance, pondering to himself.

So now we only have the Hidden Ones and the Alien Gods left. Let's try to nip them in the bud.

Chapter 316 Uruk After the Disaster

After learning that the disaster was over, that Rahmu, who had plagued humanity across the skies, was dead, and that the Calamity Dragon, which had once again roamed the earth, had been sealed away by the great King Gilgamesh and the heroes he led, the night in Uruk was filled with an unprecedented grand celebration to commemorate the great king and the heroes from the unknown lands who had together eradicated the disaster.

In an instant, the surviving people across the continent sang praises of Gilgamesh and the greatness of those heroes.

Just as a festive atmosphere filled the entire Uruk-ri area.

As night fell, Lovi sat atop the tower, overlooking everything below.

Looking down at Ushiwakamaru, Musashibo, and the other heroic spirits drinking ale with the survivors, and glancing at the bright bonfire surrounded by people that seemed to be dyeing the entire night sky red, Luo Wei, one of the protagonists being praised, was somewhat troubled.

It was precisely because it was too noisy that he hid here alone, while the others, especially Tiamat who had just turned back into a human from the Mother of Creation, were now integrated into the city below, enjoying worship and warmth she had never experienced before.

Because they were worried that she might do something dangerous due to her lack of common sense, Kingu and Nito were with her.

The other Heroic Spirits also temporarily left at this time due to their own matters. Artoria was busy reclaiming the Tower of the End, Scáthach was also going to reclaim the Land of Shadows, and Merlin and Merry were being pulled into working overtime by Gilgamesh. Now everyone really had their own things to do.

Ritsuka and Mashu seem to be enjoying the festival too; I'll go find them later.

Looking at the sky and calculating the approximate time, Luo Wei thought to himself, "I need to find a suitable time to leave. It seems that this singularity won't last much longer."

After awakening Tiamat, repairing her spiritual veins, and rebuilding her body, Lovi took King Hassan to talk to the potential enemy, Smoke Mirror. They brought many things that would happen in the future to the forefront and had a friendly heart-to-heart conversation with Smoke Mirror, which successfully resolved a major problem.

Although he left the Ten Commandments to Goetia and no longer possessed the attributes of a child of God, the Demon Pillars still swore to follow him to the death, saying, "Even if the King is no longer the King of Magic, he is still their King. No matter where he goes, the Demon Pillars will follow him to the end of their lives."

Luo Wei was somewhat helpless about this. It seemed that even though he had no resemblance to Solomon at all, these demon pillars were still convinced of his identity. No matter how much he said that he was not Solomon, they took it as an excuse and still followed him.

Finally, after chatting with Roman about this matter and asking him if the true creator of the Demon Gods had any thoughts of rekindling his relationship with the Demon God Pillars, Roman smiled helplessly and said, "Even if I went out and said I was Solomon, given Leif and Goetia's personalities, they wouldn't believe me, right? After all, in their eyes, I'm just a hardcore otaku obsessed with anime and manga."

He said, "And I can't hide away during difficult times, but I also can't take credit for your achievements after everything is over. You really helped me a lot this time. Although I find it strange that the Demon Pillars mistook me for someone else, I believe it's fate. If it were someone else, I would worry about being abused, but I don't have that worry about you."

"So please lead the Demon Pillars well on their journey. Although they are unreliable in many ways, they are still children I have endowed with near-omnipotence. They will definitely help you in the future. Please lead them on the right path. Now that Solomon has disappeared, there is only one doctor in the world named Romani Archman."

Having received this answer, Luo Wei stopped pressuring the matter and instead formed new familiar contracts with each of these demons. Although he didn't restrict their freedom, or rather, he dismissed them, allowing them to go anywhere and live the life they wanted, the demon pillars could still appear by his side to help him whenever he needed their assistance.

At this time, those demon pillars should be searching for their own whereabouts.

It was precisely because they saw this, and with King Hassan in charge, that Smoke Mirror wisely chose to back down this time and did not engage in battle with Rowe.

Afterwards, Lovi told Gilgamesh and the other Heroic Spirits about the incident, which made Quetzalcoatl feel extremely regretful, but even more worried.

"I was wondering why that guy seemed so strange; he was actually hiding such a secret."

She said to Rowe with a hint of reproach, "Your gentle talk was really too dangerous. Luckily, we brought that strange old man along, otherwise, given Tescatlipoca's personality, we might have really run into danger. But it's a real pity, it would have been even better if we could have taken the opportunity to beat him up."

It's clear that she still harbors deep resentment towards Smoke Mirror and really wants to beat her up.

However, Gilgamesh did not show much surprise when he learned what kind of disaster the world might face in the future.

After all, his clairvoyance had vaguely foreseen a corner of the future, but it was always unclear. Now that it had been revealed, it didn't seem too strange. Unfortunately, he couldn't help with anything now.

He will soon pass away peacefully in his old age, and can only entrust everything to the people of the future.

Lovi originally intended to say goodbye and go to Chaldea with Gudako and Mash, but Gilgamesh stopped him, insisting that he be taken to the victory celebration. This was the most important step after the victory of the war, and how could he be left out as the main character?

Furthermore, he openly expressed his remorse for usurping the credit of others.

After all, a singularity is a singularity. People like Ushiwakamaru, Lovi, King Hassan, the Holy Lance, Scáthach, Fujimaru Ritsuka, and many others who do not belong to this world or this era will have their historical records corrected.

Only Tiamat's return and the record of this calamity can still exist. Therefore, Gilgamesh, as the king of this era and the protagonist in the record, will definitely be written about in great detail.

Future records will surely erase their names and instead state: "The goddess Tiamat, out of resentment, returned to this land and unleashed disaster. Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, led many nameless heroes from this land and from foreign lands to fight against her under the goddess's guidance. In the end, they achieved victory and saved the goddess of creation."

Although Gilgamesh also wanted to leave his name for everyone involved in this battle, and he disdained to steal the credit of others, that was the reality.

Regarding him...
