Or, why don’t you find another savior?

Shiomi took a deep breath and declared sharply.

"You may only go this far and no further. Your arrogant behavior ends here."

A silent voice suddenly sounded.

No one spoke, no one said anything.

These words were as clear as a chant and were engraved in Shiomi's mind.

At the same time, it was also engraved in Goetia's mind.

"Varied--"

The consciousness of both was drawn uncontrollably, centered on the location of the nine rings.

Each other's eyes went blank and they came back to their senses.

Shiomi and Goetia were in a pure white land with no sky and no ground.

The sea of ​​spirit.

Some kind of will brought the spirits of both of them here.

And the source is those nine rings.

"Who has obscured my purpose with words without knowledge?"

"This word... this will..."

Goetia stood there, stunned.

"Oh God……"

The nine rings stopped moving, and no matter how he ordered, Shiomi couldn't make them move at all.

He slowly put down his hand, as if he had known this would happen.

"Although I don't know what's going on, something seems to tell me that if I do this, you will definitely become restless and will reveal your presence."

Xi Jian lowered his eyes, with a casual and disrespectful attitude, and then widened his eyes at the existence that could not be seen or felt, but he knew it was there.

"Now that things have come to this, what are you going to do? YHWH!"

Goetia stared at Xijian without saying a word, but his attitude was undoubtedly rebuking him for daring to call the master by his name.

"Gird up your loins like a warrior; I will ask you a question, and you can show me."

"If you have any wisdom, just speak."

"I have nothing to say to you, YHWH." Xijian raised his left hand and showed the ring. "Even if you have granted me something, you cannot stop me from using it. I have become more aware of this after becoming my mother's son."

"The light does not shine on the wicked, and the arm of the strong will be broken."

"I've heard enough excuses." Shiomi responded indifferently, "You showed up on purpose, and showed your will on purpose. What do you want to do? Do you want to take back these ten commandments and never allow anyone to use them again?"

This was Shiomi's open conspiracy. When he was able to glimpse YHWH's guidance to Goetia through the clay tablet of destiny, he already knew that this moment would come.

Therefore, the tenth ring must be used to offend the things bestowed by its power in the worst possible manner.

Now YHWH has only two choices.

Either take back the Ten Commandments, or continue to sit back and watch Shiomi take away the Ten Commandments and destroy Goetia's purpose.

"Can a man who argues against the Almighty argue? I do not want to discipline anyone who argues against God or denies Him."

"Will you abandon what I have planned and commit a sin?"

This was the only response YHWH gave to Shiomi's attitude.

"It is not your turn to decide whether you have sinned or not. Leave this world as soon as possible like other gods and go to the outer world honestly. The future of this planet will continue to belong to humans."

He spread out his hands, holding the ring and Goetia from a distance.

Then, respond decisively.

Chapter 7: The Gap

Chaldea, control room.

"Report, the Master, Shiomi Tianxi, who is in battle with Beast I, has fallen into a state of inactivity!" Munir hurriedly reported the situation.

Leonardo da Vinci was surprised: "What happened? Did he lose?"

As she said this, her eyes glanced at Romani who remained silent.

Something had been agreed upon between the two men.

"Not only that, Beast I has also reached a state of stagnation!" Sylvia reported the same situation. "The reason for the stagnation is unknown. Both the life activities and magical reactions of both parties have not disappeared!"

At this time, Romani, who was supposed to be the commander, did not give any instructions, so Leonardo da Vinci had to take over.

"Continue to maintain the current strategic situation and try to wake up the Master in battle!"

"Yes!"

The staff who received the instructions immediately put their efforts into what they could do.

Da Vinci frowned and looked at Romani.

"Impossible... How could this happen? Why are you here?"

Romani's expression was more solemn than ever before, which made Leonardo da Vinci very puzzled.

"Romani, what the hell——"

"Can't you feel it, Da Vinci?" Romani covered his forehead in pain, "His presence."

It's not the physical pain, but the lack of understanding of the current situation.

Why did the Lord appear in the Temple of Time at this time?

Is it because Shiomi intends to seize the power of the Ten Rings to defeat Goetia?

Or... the burning of Goetia's humanity is a feat recognized by "Him"?

Then, Romani thought about every long conversation he had with Shiomi, and it dawned on him.

"...Have you noticed and started to suspect it a long time ago..."

"'Him'?"

Leonardo da Vinci, who had not yet reacted, was stunned at first, and then, as if awakened from a dream, he looked at the observation mirror Sheba floating around Chaldeas.

Romani and Leonardo da Vinci were not the only ones who were aware of the existence of YHWH.

The heroes fighting outside the Temple of Time also felt it.

The Demon Pillar, which had been struggling, regenerating, and fighting with them, paused for a moment.

"My king..." Aguguiwen asked in a low voice.

"No need to say more, Lord Agguiwen." Artoria raised her hand to indicate, "The nature of this battle has already exceeded all of our imaginations."

There was no magical reaction and no pressure.

Just because it "exists" in that place, no Heroic Spirit can ignore it and must face it.

"What an incredible 'presence'..." Scathach clenched her red spear and muttered to herself, "The enemy my beloved disciple is facing is actually——"

Before she could finish her words, she saw Morgan heading towards the door leading to the core of the Temple of Time.

Scathach followed immediately.

"Are you going to die and let him be distracted and lose because of you?" Scathach pressed Morgan's shoulders.

"Unlike you, I do not belong to this period of history. The gods I know of do not include such existences." Morgan stopped and smiled resolutely. "Since the situation has come to this point as my husband expected, what we need to do is simple."

Morgan had no psychological burden at all. Now he just wanted to run to Shiomi's side and face the next battle with him.

"...Heh, I really have no right to criticize you." Scathach let go of her hand.

As a master, her thoughts were no different from Morgan's.

"You are moving too slowly, Altria." Morgan said at this time, "If you are afraid, stop. We will leave you here, and the noble Knight King will not have to bear the infamy of being an enemy of God."

Altria, who had landed beside them, slowly stood up and said, "We have already done things that are hostile to God in the seventh singularity. It won't be much different now, right?"

The wishes are the same, only the details are different.

For the sake of humanity and the ones you love, join an even more intense battle.

But... just as all the heroic spirits are aware of the existence of YHWH, there must be a will that cannot be disobeyed and must be obeyed.

The fallen black keys pierced through the ground, blocking the three people's way forward.

"I'm really sorry." Amakusa Shiro Tokisada looked solemn.

"The Lord has conveyed his will, and we..." Joan of Arc clenched the flag in her hand.

Saint Martha leaned on her scepter and said, "...I must become your enemy now."

"Please forgive me." St. George raised the sword to his chest and put his forehead against the sword. "Please, everyone must stay here and cannot go any further."

The heroic spirits who shared the same belief spontaneously left the battle line and stood before the three men.

"That's what faith is all about." Morgan lowered his eyes slightly, his expression making it hard to tell whether he was happy, angry, sad or happy. "Saints, you are not wrong, and neither are we—"

"So don't feel ashamed about this. When 'He' appears, no one has the right to ask you to give up your faith." Scathach raised her gun and pointed it at Jeanne in the front. "But we must pass through here."

"...Time is running out. There is no room for mercy." Altria clenched the holy sword.

There are also several Knights of the Round Table who are closely associated with this belief.

I'm afraid that at this moment, unlike the "internal strife" that caused the Round Table to fall apart in the past, it has probably begun. She is very sad, but she can't and won't stop it.

All we can do is to reach the center of the Temple of Time before the knights come and block the road.

Neither side spoke any more.

Without any warning signal, the battle began.

Faith will give strength to the Heroic Spirits. Even if there are servants like Amakusa Shiro who are not strong enough among them, they can use the special skills attached to their own ranks to cause great obstacles to the battle between the three.

It wasn’t a tough fight, but it wasn’t an easy breakthrough either.

Even though they knew they were doomed to die, and even though they were aware of the huge gap in strength between the two sides, the saints still burst out with unimaginable indomitable fighting spirit.

"How much time do we have left..."

Scathach asked as she knocked down the black key that flew from behind for Morgan.

"It's impossible to know. Chaldea only observed Wu Fu and the Demon King Goetia, and they were both in a stagnation."

Morgan watched Martha move left and right, looking for a chance to break through, and answered Scathach while using magic to prevent her from summoning Tarasque.

Now even they can't figure out what the situation is like on Shiomi's side.

Moreover, on the battlefield of the Time Temple, among the servants who originally came voluntarily just to protect human law, there are many who share the same beliefs as the saints.

"There is no time to conserve strength. We must break through here as soon as possible."

Artoria avoided Saint George's sword and released the magic of the holy sword.

Chapter 8 Absolute Will

In just a very short period of time, both Shiomi and the Demon King Gaetia were affected by the intervention of YHWH's will.

The moment they left the sea of ​​​​spirituality, neither Shiomi nor Goetia could take immediate action.

He gasped for breath, trying to relieve the pressure of being forced into the sea of ​​​​spirituality.

The same thing happened to Goetia. Although she showed no signs of breathing, it was obvious that she couldn't move immediately.

YHWH only appeared for a brief moment, demonstrated His will, and then disappeared from existence.

There was not even any attempt to help Goetia or grant the Demon King new power.

Xi Jian secretly deduced that even YHWH could not interfere too deeply in everything in this universe.

In other words, He can interfere, but if He personally intervenes in all this, then this planet will probably become a new battlefield.

Gods, demons, and other things may emerge.

Intervention does not guarantee victory.
