The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

And even if she chose to stay here, it would be completely impossible.

It would impose an additional burden on the spirit particle calculation device Trismegistus, causing Chaldea to be unable to teleport to the next singularity.

More importantly, once the current singularity is repaired, causing the time and space within the singularity to collapse, causing it to disappear in the sense of existence, she will still die.

——This would be the same even if she escaped to another singularity.

After a long silence, Olga Marie spoke in a low voice:

"...Romani, get ready. Now that the matter at the singularity has been completed, teleport Mashu and Ritsuka back to Chaldea."

"Eh? But..."

“Stop talking nonsense. From now on, the operation of Chaldea will be handed over to Kiara. As the deputy director, it’s time for her to go to work! And Fujimaru Ritsuka, an ordinary person like you, although I don’t want to admit it, but since you are the only remaining Master of Chaldea, I can only ask you to repair the singularity.”

"Director..."

Looking at Olga Marie who had her back turned, her shoulders slightly trembling but was forcibly suppressed, Ritsuka was speechless for a moment.

In many ways, this can be said to be a last will and testament.

"What are you doing? I am Olga Marie Asmirete Animusphia, the ruler of the Department of Astronomy, the head of Animusphia, and the director of Chaldea..."

"Don't underestimate me!"

Her hands were clenched into fists, and there was a hint of tears in her words. Perhaps even though she tried her best to suppress her emotions, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Chapter 620: Survival without meaning

I have to say, it is too cruel for a girl who is only in her twenties and at the prime of her life to face death.

I think only those wise people who have a deep understanding of life can face it calmly.

But unfortunately, that is only a very small number of people.

Olga Marie obviously could not reach such an open-minded state...but being able to face her own death and leave a last word to her successor is already admirable.

Frankly speaking, if the incineration of humanity had not yet occurred in the outside world, perhaps we could still think of a solution, such as using the relationship with Animusphia to seek help from the Atlas Institute.

but now.....

Although they were very unwilling, all the people of Chaldea could do was to listen to and inherit the other party's will.

“I… ah!”

Just when Olga Marie wanted to say something else, Lin Qiao, who couldn't bear it any longer, hit her, Mashu and Ritsuka on the head with a knife.

"It's too early for a sentimental moment....Are you guys assuming I don't exist?"

“It is also very important to learn how to ask for help from others.”

Ignoring Olga Marie's glare and Ritsuka's muttering, Lin Qiao took off the bracelet used for communication from Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand.

"Anyway, Dr. Roman, you guys should teleport Mashu and Ritsuka back first, and leave the rest to me... Of course, for the sake of safety, I hope to continue to use the spirit particle calculation device to observe this singularity and maintain Olga Marie's current state."

"I understand, but is this all that's needed?"

"That's it for now. You can't help me with anything else... But if you need anything, I'll use this bracelet to contact you later."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Qiao hung up the phone, leaving Mashu and Lixiang standing there staring at each other.

"The director is really..."

"Don't worry. All you have to do now is to return to Chaldea as soon as possible, take a hot bath to forget all your worries, and have a good sleep on the soft big bed."

Before Mashu could finish her words, Lin Qiao waved her hand.

And it was at this moment that the two of them emitted a faint glow, and their bodies gradually became transparent.

——They are leaving this singularity.

"Um, Mr. Lin..."

"No need to be so respectful, just call me Qiao. But what's the matter? Is there anything else?"

"No, it's just..."

After hesitating for a while, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked up at Lin Qiao and said, "Although it may be a little sudden to say this, but if possible, can you ask Qiao to come to Chaldea later?"

“Senior…!?”

Fujimaru Ritsuka's words instantly made Mashu next to him panic.

After all, even if the two sides are no longer enemies, it is too bold to directly recruit the other party to work for you in this situation.

"You're really not polite, Ritsuka."

Shaking his head, Lin Qiao showed an interested look on his face, and facing his direct gaze, there was no retreat or hesitation in the latter's eyes.

"Because repairing the singularity requires more power, but Chaldea, which has been severely damaged, does not have that kind of power, so I hope to use the power of Takumi to protect human reason... And you said that we should learn to ask for help from others."

"Oh, you're actually using my words against me?"

Lin Qiao couldn't help but burst out laughing, but he didn't laugh at the other person's idea.

Although it was a bit too direct, he didn't hate the approach of not shying away from admitting one's weakness and trying to use all the strength one could.

In other words, compared to the situation of being stubborn and refusing to do anything, this is indeed a wise and correct approach.

"It's a pity that I can't agree to your request."

Hearing what Lin Qiao said, a look of loss clearly appeared on Fujimaru Ritsuka's face.

"But I can promise that if you encounter a crisis that you can't solve in the future, I can help you."

"Eh? Wait, so..." Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes lit up.

"It means exactly what it says. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you about the Roman singularity..."

After briefly explaining a few words, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu disappeared from the spot due to the transfer of spirit particles.

Lin Qiao and the somewhat bewildered Olga Marie were the only ones left in the huge cave.

"Finally left..."

He shook his head and said nothing more.

Shortly after the two girls left, Lin Qiao took out the bracelet she got from Fujimaru Ritsuka and pressed the button on it.

"Let's continue with the topic just now, doctor, about some things I have concealed before."

Looking at the projection of Dr. Roman in front of him, Lin Qiao's tone became slightly serious.

The latter did not show any surprise at Lin Qiao's sudden contact.

Even though he had lost his power, he was still King Solomon after all, and he could still understand some of the hints in the words.

"But may I ask first, why can't you say it in front of Mashu and the others?"

"Because of pressure." Lin Qiao explained calmly.

"Although pressure is motivation to a certain extent, for them now, the pressure brought by the burning of human nature is enough. Any more will only make them breathless."

"I understand. Please continue."

Dr. Roman nodded. He understood the logic behind it.

Even though everyone in Chaldea did feel the pressure brought on by the burning of humanity, the frontline fighters and the logistics support personnel had to bear different responsibilities.

As the only Master in Chaldea, too much pressure might crush the girl's spirit.

And more importantly, Lin Qiao's words hinted at something even worse than what happened.

"First of all, you have to understand that burning people is only a means, not an end."

"Eh? Didn't I mention this before? The purpose of the Human Burning is to turn humans into energy and go back to the ancient times to reshape the planet..."

"So as I said, it's just a means, just like burning a fire to keep warm, but if there's nothing else to do, who would burn a fire to keep warm?"

Not to mention burning the entire history of mankind.

"So what you mean is....the burning of human nature was only to prevent a greater disaster?"

"Yes, it's called 'Freeze of Humanity'"

It is undeniable that Goetia's burning of human principles was indeed mixed with some ulterior motives, but as far as the starting point itself was concerned, it was indeed a measure taken to prevent the freezing of human principles.

But for the people of Chaldea, they just felt a chill down their spines.

Wow, the Novice Village hasn’t even been opened yet, but I’ve heard such explosive news. Especially the more I listen to Lin Qiao, the more I seem to think that Goetia is right...ah this, this, this, this!

Of course, the person with the most complicated mentality is Dr. Roman.

When he heard that the culprit for the burning of human nature was the technique he created, he did feel a sense of despair that was about to suffocate, but now it seems... although there is indeed a bug in the code, it seems that not everything he wrote is shit.

"So do we humans deserve to be exterminated...?"

I don’t know who was the first to sigh like this, but it doesn’t matter anymore.

An emotion called despair enveloped Chaldea.

Compared to a terrifying opponent like Goetia, perhaps the fact that I am similar to the villain in the movie is more sad.

After all, now that humanity is burning, their greatest support is the belief in saving humanity.

And if even this last belief is denied, then why are they fighting and what are they going to fight for next?

"Stop feeling sorry for yourself."

Lin Qiao's harsh rebuke from the other end of the line brought those who were in despair and confusion back to their senses.

"Listen carefully. I'm only telling you about the freezing of human nature to give you a heads-up in advance, so that you won't be able to react to what's happening if you're attacked by someone in the future."

"For human beings, regardless of good, evil or other messy things, survival itself is the greatest meaning."

"If you can't even figure this out, you'd better go outside Chaldea and experience the minus fifty degree cold wind to wake yourself up!"

It is true that Goetia has the righteousness to resist the freezing of human nature, but this does not mean that humans should allow themselves to be slaughtered by it.

Reason for resistance?

No, and there is no need, or rather, survival itself is the biggest reason.

No entity can deprive human beings of their right to survive by relying on so-called justice...even if the target is human nature itself.

It doesn't matter what else, it's just for survival.

Chapter 621 The Third Law Cannot Save the Director of Chaldea

In general, despite the incident of burning the human nature, in Lin Qiao's opinion, Goetia is indeed a fighting force that can be tried in the future.

By doing so, we can have a powerful ally when facing a future human freeze.

Secondly, it can prevent a champion who comes here to slack off from self-destructing.

Besides, both sides have a common enemy after all...the real battle has not yet begun.

Of course, before that, Chaldea needs to slap Goetia in the face.

While teaching the other party a lesson, you must also prove that you have the strength to become their ally and stop the freezing of human nature.

——I have to admit that it is not easy to do this.

But the biggest advantage of Chaldea is that they have a champion who is here to slack off... But don't spend every day thinking about using that crappy self-destructing Noble Phantasm. Go and work overtime to revise the shitty code you wrote yourself!

So in general, although things are difficult, it cannot be said that there is no chance at all.

Of course, before that, Lin Qiao still had to deal with the troubles related to Olga Marie first...

"Wait! What are you doing? No! Not there! Absolutely not!"

“Here too…..humph! Aaaaaah!”

In the large cave of Mt. Enzo, Olga Marie's screams and cries echoed.

Although it is indeed a treatment, the sounds made by the person concerned can't help but make people have some kind of fantasy and doubt whether this treatment is serious.
