Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

The only person standing in the audience was the Magic Queen Nitocris, who had returned after fulfilling her mission and deploying all defensive magic.

At this moment, the purple-haired girl's face was filled with a conflicted expression.

"Pharaoh, will that 'puppet' really commit such a heinous crime as to attack this temple?"

Nito asked hesitantly.

She naturally believed what the Pharaoh said, but when she thought about fighting with that Xuul, an inexplicable "fear" quickly spread in her heart.

"Are you afraid?"

“Ah! No, I, I, I!!”

After being exposed by Ramses II, Neto's face immediately turned red.

She spoke incoherently in an attempt to restore her image in the Pharaoh's heart, but the more she did so, the more she could not recover her words.

“Kuhahahahahahaha——!!!”

Seeing this, Ramses II burst into laughter.

"Nitocris, I never thought I would see this side of you. It's truly a joy to behold."

Fortunately, the Pharaoh was not laughing, but was simply amused by Neto's expression. As his laughter subsided, he calmly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Then he returned to his usual seriousness.

"Okay, enough joking."

After saying this, Ramses II immediately stood up, walked down from the throne and came to Neto's side.

"Hey, Pharaoh?"

"be prepared."

"Eh?"

Ramses II's tone was extremely serious, which surprised Neto.

"coming."

As soon as the words fell, a golden vortex suddenly appeared in the center of the temple, before the eyes of the two pharaohs.

……

Chapter 74: Ramses II

hum-

A golden vortex suddenly appeared in the magnificent temple palace hall.

"This is!?"

Nitocris naturally recognized this object, as she had witnessed its "owner" with her own eyes not long ago.

The familiar green figure, whom she didn't want to see again, walked out of the space passage.

Xuul walked out of the door, his golden eyes passed over the Magic Queen in front of him and hit Pharaoh Ramses II directly.

"You have indeed come, a stranger from a foreign land."

Ramses II smiled slightly. He did not rebuke the visitor for his unreasonable behavior, but just looked at this strange foreigner with great pleasure.

"..."

Facing the Pharaoh's scrutinizing gaze, Xuer remained calm.

After taking a quick look at the other person, he immediately shifted his gaze to look at the layout of the palace around him.

To be honest, from a visual perspective, Xuer felt that the room was a bit too spacious. Apart from the throne on the platform and the huge instrument on the side, there were no other decorations.

Roar--

Oh, there are some small animals here.

The puppet calmly glanced at the roaring sphinxes around it. These were all the pharaoh's sacred beasts.

However, facing such a powerful monster, Xuer didn't even look at it.

"you……!!"

Seeing the other party's unreasonable attitude, even though he was timid, Neto still wanted to loudly rebuke the other party for being unreasonable.

But just as she was about to explode, Ramses II beside her immediately raised his hand to signal her to be quiet.

"Pharaoh..."

Nito was a little depressed, not because of Pharaoh, but because of his own lack of strength.

After all, if her strength was strong enough, she could suppress this rude person who destroyed the temple without permission without saying a word.

"That's enough, Nitocris. Take the sphinxes and retreat."

Ramses II shook his head, his words carrying an irresistible force.

"What happens next is a matter between me and this stranger."

"I understand, Pharaoh."

The Pharaoh's decree has been issued, and Nitocris will certainly not disobey the Pharaoh's order.

She lowered her head slightly, and then quickly left the palace with several divine beasts present.

During this process, she said nothing and just did her own thing silently.

Xiuer could catch the mixed feeling of relief and self-blame in his expression.

"Okay, from now on, there will only be you and me here."

Ramses II spread his hands, and a pharaoh's scepter appeared in his right hand under a ball of magical "flame".

At the same time, the temple suddenly shook slightly, as if a small earthquake had occurred.

Xuul didn't care about this. He could detect that a lot of things inside the temple were activated, which seemed to be the building's self-defense system.

"I think this should be our first 'official' meeting?"

Ramses II said with a smile, as if he wanted to have a good communication with this strong man before the battle.

However, in response to the Pharaoh's request to chat, the puppet rejected it with silence.

"..."

He did not draw his weapon, nor did he respond. He just stood there inexplicably, watching the other party's actions calmly. His motionless appearance was like a statue.

"Kuhahaha!"

Seeing this, Ramses II was not annoyed, but laughed a few times.

“Interesting reaction.”

Boom-!

He tapped the ground with the scepter in his hand, and a stream of magical power immediately flowed into the floor beneath his feet.

Then he raised his left hand while smiling.

"I know your purpose."

A golden cup appeared in his palm amidst the magical flames.

Without a doubt, that is the Holy Grail of this world.

A sacred golden light flickered on the smooth surface, and Shul could detect an extremely high level of magic power from it.

A faint light appeared in his eyes, and his "analysis" of this object quietly began in silence.

While the puppet was being analyzed, Ramses II continued his speech.

"Well done! You defeated the Lion King and destroyed the stranger from the Holy City."

Ramses II's eyes were fixed on Shur, and the joy in his eyes was so intense, as if he was praising a warrior's feat.

"Although it wasn't that young man who came here, your feat has also earned my approval."

As he spoke, he gently lifted up the object in his hand.

"This Holy Grail is the 'reward' I give you."

As the words fell, as the Pharaoh's magic was activated, the Holy Grail emitting golden light slowly flew into Xuel's hands under the magic power.

When the Holy Grail emitting golden light flew into his arms, Xuer's analysis of this object had come to an end.

As the data flooded into his mind, he was finally able to confirm that the Holy Grail of the singularity and the "Greater Holy Grail" used in the Holy Grail War were similar, but not identical.

Compared to the Greater Holy Grail that can open the channel to the root, the Holy Grail of the singularity is more of a "high-energy magic block".

Unlike the simple magic block imitated by Shuul, this Holy Grail of Solomon also contains some deeply hidden "information".

Shuul, who had analyzed the Chaldea device, was able to obtain the method to decipher this information.

But right now, his purpose in coming here is not just the Holy Grail.

He silently put the Holy Grail into the "storage space" and then continued to stare at Ramses II in front of him.

His indifferent and cold eyes make it difficult to see into his soul through his eyes.

However, it was not difficult for the Pharaoh to understand the other party's intentions, because Ramses II knew the latter's purpose long before Shur arrived.

"Really? You still want this after all."

His eyes suddenly became sharp, and invisible pressure quickly spread around.

"Do you really want to be my enemy?"

"..."

Faced with the momentum of Ramses II, Shule remained silent.

But the purple sword that appeared in his hand also gave the "answer" silently.

“Kuhahahaha——!”

"Interesting, what a pure 'human'."

Seeing this, he immediately gathered his strength and laughed a few more times, then raised his left hand and pinched his neck.

"It just so happens that I've just recovered, so I can take this opportunity to 'recover' a bit."

"Anyway, this singularity will eventually disappear. Let me entertain you again at the end of this farce!"

After simply stretching his waist a few times, Ramses II immediately opened his arms wide.

Boom-!

As a series of crisp knocking sounds rang out beside him, several strong magical reactions suddenly appeared around him.

Countless lasers shot out from all over the room and bombarded the place where Xuer was before he could take any action.

boom--! ! !

……

----

……

"Really? You're leaving soon."

"Yes, Mr. Cursed Wrist."

Ritsuka Fujimaru scratched his head. At this moment, he and his companions were outside the gate of the mountain village. Standing in front of them were the heroic spirits he had met in the village before.

Because the purpose of Shul's contact with the Pharaoh was not only to recover the Holy Grail, but also to fight the Pharaoh.

Since this was the case, there was no reason for the Chaldeans to go with Shul, so in the end it was Shul who sent the rest of them to the mountain village.

Let Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others say goodbye to everyone in the mountain village while Shul is doing his work.

"It's finally over."

Hassan the Hundred Faces sighed sincerely. It was not an easy task to take care of the villagers of the mountain village while resisting the Lion King.

Fortunately, the Pharaoh in the desert did not care about the people of the mountains, otherwise they would be facing siege from both sides at the same time, and they would not be able to hold out until the arrival of the Chaldeans.

"But that was really exaggerated, the previous battle."
