Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend, the Israeli boxing champion

At this point, the considerate Sion did not mind the slight difference in the way Olga and Marie addressed each other, and quickly began the search.

The Spirit Calculation Device Trismegistus, the next-generation machine of the triangular obelisk at the center of the Atlas Institute, is Shion's masterpiece. Under the watchful eyes of the Lord of the Astronomical Sciences and the Magic King, she input Mozart's name into it and received the answer she deserved.

Wolfgang Amadeus Andusias Mozart.

"Below is as above, and above is as below; thus the miracle of Taiyi is accomplished."

This was the first time he used magic in front of everyone, instead of using the Desert Eagle with three empty guns to perform deus ex machina.

"Good evening, everyone from Chaldea and heroes from history. Nice to meet you. My name is Vassago - yes, the No. 3 of the Demon Gods, Vassago."

PS: Legend has it that alchemy originated in Egypt. In 1900 BC, the Egyptian pharaoh Hermes, his legendary father Thoth, and Hermes' eldest son, the high priest Tat, merged into one, becoming the legendary "Hermes". This trinity of gods condensed the knowledge of alchemy into 13 sentences, engraved them on an emerald plate, and passed them down to the world.

This is the original version of the Jade Record, and it is also the reason why Alvin was admitted to the Advent Department.

Chapter 232 Are you ready?

[From the looks of you, you should have known who I am a long time ago. ]

Just as he expected, a minute ago, all the information about the elegant and easy-going Demon Pillar in front of him had been clearly revealed to everyone by Chaldea.

[Is it because of Andusias? ]

"That's right, Mr. Princes. Vassago, I guess Mr. Alvin's experience in Paris was planned by you, after all..."

Ophelia racked her brains to search for words. When the Jade Record appeared in Vashago's hand, the identity of the God-era magician was given to him. It was good enough that a junior like her did not faint on the spot.

[After all, I know the past, the future, and all things that are hidden or lost, right?]

He sneered softly. This was a decision made by his boss himself and he couldn't afford it.

[You should wait until you meet Amadeus again to have him answer this question for you. After all, people like me are only a minority among the minority, and an exception among the exceptions. Anducias's method is the most common.]

[But then again, I should be the first demon pillar who can talk to you so calmly. Can you tell me why? ]

Vashak's seemingly unintentional act inadvertently put the reality that they were trying to avoid in front of everyone.

[Or maybe the reason you didn't do anything was because of Alvin's identity, or because of yourself as Vashak? ]

[If Alvin Vasago really stood in front of you, what decision would you make? ]

silence.

Silence fell over the entire Grand Palace. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that many kinds of silence fell over it. Gradually, like an imperceptible modulation that changed the key of a sonata, the awkward silence turned into an even more silent silence.

[It seems that I won't get a reply this time. Then, the only answer left for us to choose is the final one.]

[First of all, although I am a moderate among the Demon God Pillars and abstained from voting in that meeting, this does not mean that I will not take action against you.]

【Who said that I am still a worker? 】

He shook his head. Even though they had Alvin as a common ground, the negotiations inevitably broke down when they talked about him. Perhaps this was fate. As long as the most fundamental problem was not solved, there would be no way to start anything else.

[I didn't expect you guys were serious...didn't anyone check the relevant information when you were fighting the BOSS? ]

Vassago was sitting on the steps with the Emerald Record in his hand. The young magician was firing on all cylinders, while El-Melloi II just threw a few times symbolically. Scathach and Romulus simply slacked off. From this alone, one could tell the difference in combat experience.

Well, not absolutely, at least they took the crucial first step. But for this level of attack, he didn't even have the desire to use the Jade Record.

"I can see that both you and him are enjoying this feeling of going forward despite thousands of people's opposition."

Constantine's weak voice came from behind. There was not much time left for the last Augustus, and they all knew it.

"Not absolutely. At least I can't change that one thing."

El-Melloi II's Gandr had already flown in front of Vassago, and when it was about to fly to his face, he moved his fingers slightly.

——Just disappeared like that.

"Is that all? It's not like there's no chance of winning."

While Fujimaru Ritsuka was somewhat surprised, he was also a little confused inside.

If this is the extent of it, then how can the Demon Pillar in front of us deserve the title of knowing the past and the future?

Mashu was also surprised. She was ready to take the attack that bounced back.

"Look, I told you they are too young. Their combat experience is not even comparable to that of a well-trained soldier."

Constantine hesitated for a moment, and then he saw the miracle.

With just a flick of his fingers, a portal opened quietly behind Fujimaru Ritsuka, and then a flying star flew out from it.

"Senior, be careful!"

She looked back and saw that the flying star flew out of the door. Its target was very clear, it was heading towards her.

Although Mashu has reacted, the process from reacting to taking corresponding actions is far beyond her current ability, let alone Ritsuka Fujimaru himself, an ordinary high school student?

At that moment, she seemed to have seen the end of her life.

[Flying Star + Return Jump, if it hits, the damage of this combo should be very high. 】

“But I know it won’t work.”

clang--!

The rainbow sword arrived first after being launched later. Attila turned his wrist and directly knocked the flying star away - or it would be more appropriate to say that he chopped it off.

"Destroy -- the target."

Ritsuka, who was still a little frightened, stood there and watched Attila put away his sword. He blinked as if his brain had just started to work.

"Don't die."

The concern in the tone is self-evident, but knowing that this sentence was said by Attila, it seems a bit darkly humorous.

Uh, maybe the term hell joke would be more appropriate?

"Thank you."

【What a classic plot. 】

"You caused this all by yourself, and you followed the villain boss's routine of being defeated all the way."

【This is for the show effect. 】

Vassago stood up with his hands on his knees. Before his eyes, the Servants regrouped and united under the banner of Fujimaru Ritsuka... ahem.

"Well, this look makes it seem more like we are going to fail."

[You said it as if you didn’t think so.]

"Indeed, but even if it's true you can't say that."

While arguing with Alvin, Vashak estimated the time. At this moment, Fatih should still be directing the fire-fighting work at Hagia Sophia. And judging from the current situation, the fire is under control, which is a good thing.

[Have you regrouped your troops? Then I have to get serious too. Let's just do this to assess the abilities of future enemies for the boss.]

“All things are one, and from the One all things are created by differentiation.”

He tapped the mass-produced Black Barrel next to him and whistled at them.

【Are you ready? 】

Chapter 233 Now, Please Shoot Me

When Vassago brought out the mass-produced version of the Black Barrel, everyone except a few were confused.

"Haa ...

When it came to the Black Barrel, something she was very familiar with, Shion's first thought was not whether Ritsuka and the others who were at the scene could see the sun on May 5th, but rather that she had issued an impossible task.

"Please, Ritsuka, you must get one back!"

"Are you sure this thing can be recovered?"

Under the overwhelming firepower, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt ashamed of Shion's almost unreasonable request in the cover of some ruins.

"Isn't the prototype at your house? Besides, don't you have a replica in your hand, the one with the B or something?"

"It's the Barrel Replica."

"It's just the CZ75 anyway. It's a magical gun."

"No matter what, you must find a way to get one back! Mashu has too few means of attack. If you can get this thing back today, I can install it on Mashu's shield tomorrow!"

"Do you think there is any hope for me to return?"

The deafening sound continued to assault Fujimaru Ritsuka's hearing. Even though Vassago projected a mass-produced version of the Black Barrel and smeared it directly on their faces, Ritsuka could still feel how much the guy on the opposite side had let them off.

The essence of human evil is actually human love, which Fujimaru Ritsuka knows very well, but this is the first time she knows the extent of the internal struggle within the Demon Pillar.

It turns out that you guys are not united internally.

The conversation between Shion and Ritsuka was not a secret call, and everyone around them could hear the content of the conversation clearly.

"Black Barrel...is that the one from Atlas Court?" Olga Marie vaguely remembered the existence she had seen in the great desert of Morocco.

"That thing was created to fight enemies in the distant future, but now its only function is to suppress firepower. It's a waste."

"It's a 1:1 mass-produced replica, but even so it's enough to give them a hard time; fortunately, the Demon Pillar Vashak has no desire to charge it. Perhaps, as he said at the beginning, he doesn't want to do that."

Romani fell into thought again. As a person of a somewhat backward version, she knew that she did not understand them now, but Shion’s words just now gave her a sense of déjà vu.

"'Many things people do are beyond their control, Romani. The birth of Experiment No. 6 was a mistake, but should we hate ordinary people because of this?'"

"'Obviously, this is unreasonable. To Chaldea, these people are just tools that can be summoned and dismissed at will, but to these tools, they have existed for this purpose from the beginning - as an elder of Chaldea, you should know what this means, Romani.'"

The sixth experiment in 2010 was aimed at developing a Heroic Spirit Fusion Body/Mashu Kyrielight's Guardian Heroic Spirit Summoning, but the result was neither a success nor a failure.

At that time, I did not understand what Allen said. Although I said that I was one of the founding fathers of Chaldea when we first met, if you really count the age when I joined the company, there seems to be not much difference between the third year and the first year.

It was not until Alexander Allen left office and sorted out the manuscripts and materials he had not taken away that he understood what he had meant.

No news on Seraphix

She remembered that day she was curious about where Marisbili Animusphia got so many staff members. After all, the number of people at that time far exceeded the maximum capacity of Chaldea.

These androids were prepared for death from the moment they were born. The success of the spirit particle transfer system and the birth of Mash Kyrielight were based on the experimental data provided by countless androids.

She finally understood the fanaticism of the deputy director he created, and also understood what it meant to be "helpless".

——They were unable to make any changes from the beginning. This applies to the androids at that time, as well as to the Demon Pillars in the past and present.

Marisbury, who was devoted to Chaldea, and herself, who only had pigeons in her heart; she could more or less understand the resentment of the demons, but she was still confused about the cause.

"Perhaps, as Shion said, the other party really has no intention of taking any real action, but how Ritsuka and the others managed to escape from the hands of this nearly omniscient and omnipotent Demon God Pillar is what we should discuss now. Anyway, I don't have any hope of snatching the Black Barrel."

After issuing the artillery order, Vashak sat there and watched Black Barrel start the fully automatic fire attack. He had originally thought that one of them would be able to rush up to him and hit him and then he would be killed. But now it seems...was the pressure he put on them too much?

[By the way, you won’t be angry if I do this to the Grand Palace, right, Constantine? ]

"As long as you are happy... remember to reimburse."

[Do you want me to help you rebuild it? ]

"That will become an urban legend in Constantinople. By the way, I heard they changed the name of the city?"

【Well, it’s called Costantiniya. 】

"It's really simple and easy, but if Fatih chose this name, then it really reveals his true intentions. What is this, the Third Rome?"

[When Persia resumed its war fifty years later, the four hundred year Roman-Persian War would have to start again.]

Constantine didn't want to talk. He didn't even have the strength to turn his head. He could even hear some sounds that he couldn't hear normally.

He understands what this means.

"does it worth?"

He asked the guy sitting on the steps.

"Even paying everything for it?"

"Isn't that what you did, Constantine?"

He said this without looking back.

[From the first singularity, the progress was completely different from what I remembered. At that time, I thought it was just one of countless possibilities; but after coming to Constantinople, I finally found the key problem.]

"The X factor is me."

"Your Majesty, Constantine Dragases Palaiologos, Augustus of the Roman Empire, please shoot me now."
