I really didn't want to burn it.

After his sabotage, the system unusually asked Li Ang a serious question.

Li Ang sat in front of the tombstone, looking melancholy, and said, "It doesn't matter where it's built; my teacher's remains haven't been preserved."

In the end, Spock devoured Odin's body in an attempt to gain power from the God-King.

However, it was of no use.

Faced with Li Ang's all-pervasive attack, even the blessing of the God King was nothing more than an extra layer of paper.

The result of that guy's actions was that Li Ang couldn't even build a cenotaph for his teacher; he could only erect a tombstone.

"Hopefully that guy has a good time in Helheim."

Looking at the clear sky, Li Ang smiled sinisterly; his terrifying smile was the complete opposite of the bright sunshine.

Offending Grand Preceptor Li and expecting to easily return to the Temple of Time? No way!

As I said before, you must first give the other person despair, then give them hope, and then give them despair again, and repeat this process.

Pretend to let it go, then smash it to death with a single blow – that's one round.

The Demon God Pillar revealed its true form, making it believe it had reached its peak combat power, only to be pierced and killed by a single spear thrust, and so on.

Now, thinking he could return to the Temple of Time after his death, he is trapped in Helheim and faces Hela's torment for thousands upon thousands of years to come—this is a new cycle.

Li Ang refused to believe that Spapak wouldn't go crazy after being messed with by Hela.

Hmm... It's okay if he goes crazy, Li Ang has plenty of ways to cure him and then drive him crazy again.

It's true, it won't let go even after it's dead.

"I hope it will be fun to play with until I calm down."

Li Ang smiled, revealing his white teeth.

[As expected, host, your perverse sense of humor is always so excessive.]

The system silently mourned for a second for the Demon Pillar of Spapak.

[Speaking of which, host, your final attack already touched the very essence, didn't it? Just like Ryougi Shiki's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.]

Although there is no clear evidence, the system that experienced Li Ang's attack believes that Li Ang's shot was definitely beyond a general attack, but rather a manifestation of a concept.

To put it in slightly more colloquial terms, Li Ang's attack had taken on a hint of the Dao.

“Who knows?” Li Ang replied ambiguously. “Ah, you’re right, you misunderstood the system.”

Li Ang patted his bottom and stood up. He held onto the tombstone with both hands and tried to straighten it again.

[Host, you not only have a perverse sense of humor, but you're also quite cunning.]

Unfortunately, even if the system could see that Li Ang was deliberately changing the subject, it was useless. As long as Li Ang didn't answer, there was nothing it could do.

"This is your teacher's tombstone, Li Ang."

Hearing someone call his name, Li Ang quickly turned around and saw that it was Kiritsugu Emiya leading Ritsuka, Mash, Skadi, and others up the hillside.

"Yo, Kiritsugu. You've come."

Li Ang waved to him in greeting.

"I really didn't expect you to come."

"Hmph." Kiritsugu sneered and lit a cigarette. "You said there would be a crisis of world destruction, so of course I have to be careful. However, Miss Touko has gone to great lengths to be able to travel in a world where humanity has been burned away."

"Thanks a lot."

Li Ang responded.

"The destruction of humanity can't be brushed off with a simple 'thank you for your hard work'! You never said you were directly involved in the destruction of humanity. So—"

"so?"

Li Ang tilted his head.

Kiritsugu's gentle gaze turned icy as he drew his Leon pistol from his waist.

"Lion Farther".

Kiritsugu pointed the gun at Leon's chest and said solemnly, "I will arrest you for the crime of destroying humanity."

Chapter 286 Li Ang: What happened? Our house was robbed?

Kiritsugu's action of pointing his gun at Leon startled everyone around him.

"Um... Mr. Emiya?!"

Ritsuka covered her mouth and screamed; she never expected Kiritsugu Emiya to turn on her so suddenly.

Facing the dark muzzle of the gun, Li Ang remained calm.

After staring at Kiritsugu for a long time, he finally asked leisurely, "Aren't you tired of holding a gun like that?"

"Humph~"

Kiritsugu snorted coldly and put his pistol away.

How do you know I won't arrest you?

Kiritsugu, seeing that he had not frightened Li Ang, reluctantly threw the cigarette butt on the ground.

Li Ang smiled slightly: "Because you don't have any murderous intent."

Kiritsugu scratched his head and said helplessly, "Is that so? It seems that staying at home for so long has made you gentler."

The reason why Li Ang knew Kiritsugu would definitely not harm him was quite simple.

Aside from Kiritsugu himself, the only ones who might be on his side are the Chaldea duo. How could the other Norse gods possibly watch him get captured or killed?

Putting everything else aside, Skadi would never agree to it.

Kiritsugu Emiya was certainly not blind to this, so pointing the gun at himself was just a bluff.

"Enough joking." Kiritsugu sheathed his gun, but his expression remained serious. "There are still two singularities left. What are your plans?"

“I’ll figure something out,” Li Ang replied.

There's really not much we can do. When Chaldea comes to Qin, he and A-Zheng can create a weakness and give the Holy Grail to Chaldea, then we can just wait for the final battle.

The sword that will separate the world, and the one who will wield it, are both ready; all that remains is to execute the plan.

In Li Ang's view, he, the imperial advisor who had been busy for more than half a year, could finally take a break.

"Kiritsugu, you take Ritsuka and go conquer that last singularity first," Li Ang said after thinking for a moment. "I'll try to persuade Ying Zheng again to hand over the Holy Grail."

[What persuasion? It's just a charade, isn't it? Host, you're not planning to prevent Chaldea from entering the Qin Singularity again, are you?]

"almost."

Li Ang nodded slightly; he really did have that idea.

Just like how Death Note Elementary Schoolers cause death wherever they go, and Drake causes collapses wherever he goes, the troublesome fairies of Chaldea are never peaceful wherever they go.

Last time Chaldea entered Qin, they almost destroyed his home. What if Chaldea causes trouble again this time?

If it weren't for the prohibition, Li Ang would have already been thinking of putting up a sign at the entrance of the Singularity that reads "Demon Pillars and Chaldea Prohibited".

"Anyway, you guys go and tackle that last singularity first, I'll be going now. Oh, right, I almost forgot about this."

Li Ang pulled a golden cup from his pocket—a trophy that Spapak had dropped before his death—and tossed it to Ritsuka.

"Li Ang, are you leaving?" Freya said with a hint of reluctance, "You've only been back for a short time."

"Yes, the singularity has been repaired, and I've avenged my teacher. I have no reason to stay here any longer."

As he spoke, Leon waved to Skadi.

"Want to come together?"

Skadi stepped forward and put her arm around Leon's: "Of course, don't even think about abandoning me this time!"

Seeing this scene, Ritsuka wanted to laugh. She covered her mouth and said, "Li Ang, could you film the scene at your house tonight and send it to me? I don't mean anything by it, I just want to see Chloris and DD, okay?"

Li Ang glared at Ritsuka: "Kids should go to bed early and stop watching this kind of unhealthy stuff."

That brat actually dared to gossip about him, does she have a death wish?

However, the thought of bringing another person home and the possible reactions of Chloris and Ryougi Shiki, as well as the inevitable chaotic scene that would erupt...

"Ah... suddenly I think a vacation in Northern Europe wouldn't be so bad."

Even so, one must find a way to appease the harem one has created, even if it means shedding tears.

Li Ang was prepared to bleed and lose his kidneys tonight.

After a round of laughter and banter, both Leon and the Chaldea groups left the Nordic Singularity.

"Goodbye."

Freya waved to the golden time tunnel, a final farewell to her best friend Skadi.

"They're gone."

Suddenly, Loki appeared on a boulder.

"I said, you've been here for a while, aren't you going to see them off?"

Loki said nonchalantly, "What's there to give... I hate tearful farewells the most."

Freya smiled slightly and looked up at the sky. The rising sun was even more dazzling than she remembered, and Freya believed it would lead the Nine Realms toward a new future.

"Everything has come to an end, but after the end, new stories will still happen."

Feeling the warmth of the sunlight, Freya murmured to herself.

"What's wrong with you? When did you become so sentimental?" Loki teased. "Your husband should do this kind of thing; it's not suitable for a goddess like you."

Freya ignored him and instead stared at the bushes not far away.

"what is that?"

"What? What?" Loki didn't understand what she meant.

"There's something glittering in the grass! No, there's more than one!"

Freya knelt down in the grass and began searching for the light she had seen.

Out of curiosity, Loki also began searching in the bushes.

Loki quickly found what Freya had mentioned—a golden chess piece.

"I remember now, this is a little toy that Li Ang invented back then."

Loki examined the chess pieces carefully. He remembered this little game that Li Ang called "chess," and how the gods used to play chess with these pieces.

The chess piece he found depicts Odin, the king of chess, seated high on his throne.

"I found one too."

Freya raised another chess piece—it was Li Ang, who was flipping through a book.

Soon, the two found more chess pieces in the grass: Thor holding a hammer, Heimdall blowing a horn, Frigga, the wife of the god-king, and Skadi holding a wand.

Loki picked up a black chess piece and examined the figure on it.

“That looks like you, just a bit more serious,” Freya teased.

"It is indeed me. What version is this? Why am I on the black side?" Loki complained.

"It must have been after you were driven out of Asgard."

"cut."

Loki put the chess pieces away.

Loki and Freya quickly gathered all the pieces needed for a chess set. Although the versions differed—Loki had both an Asgardian version and a Giants version—this didn't prevent them from playing.

They found a relatively flat stone and arranged the chess pieces to resemble a game of chess: the Asgardian gods battling the giants.

The sunlight shone on these metal chess pieces, making them sparkle.

"Lady first."

Loki gestured.
