"But let's leave that aside for now. Those military officers called 'Servants.' I initially thought they were just ordinary wandering ghosts and didn't take them seriously at all. But now it seems they're quite capable."

The First Emperor watched as Mordred, spouting nonsense, easily defeated the mechanical puppets commanded by the Prince of Lanling. This power was indeed not something an ordinary ghost could possess.

“Yes. It’s a magic system completely different from the Qin Empire’s immortal magic system that His Majesty cultivated,” Koyanskaya explained with a smile.

"Isn't it just a spell to bring back the dead who once made great achievements and then enslave them?" the captain of the guard said disdainfully, looking down on these strange things.

"This is quite different from ordinary necromancy in one crucial aspect. You need the Heroic Spirit's consent to form a contract with them!" Koyanskaya reminded him with a smile, hoping to make His Majesty the First Emperor take it seriously.

"When that world faces a crisis, those who have already perished will voluntarily appear and help Chaldea save the world without personal desires? That should be the understanding, right? Sorghum Chihuahua." The First Emperor said thoughtfully, his eyes lighting up, seemingly showing great interest in Chaldea's Heroic Spirit system.

"Yes, you are truly insightful. And I am Koyanskaya." Koyanskaya felt utterly exhausted, and now she hoped even more that the First Emperor would remember her name.

She no longer had much hope for anything else.

"Hmm... Such an unpleasant thing exists." The First Emperor's tone turned displeased, tinged with anger and surprise. "A world history so crumbling that even the dead cannot find peace..."

"Under my rule, there are no heroic spirits. Those who die with honor cannot possibly cause any trouble for this peaceful world."

Such a thing would never be allowed to happen in his country.

The fact that the dead cannot rest in peace made him somewhat unhappy.

This is a matter of perspective. In the land of Kyushu, people respect the dead and would never disturb their peace.

This absurd act of digging up one's own ancestral graves to invoke the ancestors' intervention to resolve a crisis...

This greatly surprised the First Emperor and his chief guard; it was utterly absurd.

When a crisis arises, it should be left to the living to solve and fight. Why would we need the dead to intervene?

The heroes who died in the Qin Dynasty's Lost Belt are all worshipped for eternity; it's impossible for them to be allowed to fight enemies in the mortal world...

Isn't this utterly rebellious?

“That makes sense. After all, this world doesn’t even have the basic framework to allow things like the Counter Force to operate,” Koyanskaya said.

"But the fact that the ghosts driven by these visitors from another world continue to run rampant also infuriates me. Under my command lie heroes who are even more valiant than the spirits of the dead, aren't they, Captain?"

"Yes! Your Majesty is absolutely right. When faced with national crisis, I believe we should summon the heroes who sleep in Lishan." The head guard suggested to the First Emperor with a murderous glint in his eyes, actually instructing the dead heroes and disturbing their spirits.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Let's just be on the safe side. I hereby order the sleeping heroes to awaken." Emperor Qin Shi Huang, it's time to let the visitors from another world witness the true stature of heroes.

"As you command!" The chief guard left the throne and headed to the teleportation device to prepare for the journey to Mount Li.

"Wow! Finally, you're motivated??" Koyanskaya looked at the First Emperor in surprise. Hey, she seems to have gotten Chaldea into a big mess.

Warcraft Battlefront timeline.

"Oh—!? The real heroes are not the summoned spirits, but the heroes who sleep in Mount Li?" Gilgamesh was curious. The place where the First Emperor placed his tomb in the pan-human history actually had heroes sleeping there, and it sounded like there were quite a lot of them.

"Yes, but, Emperor Qin Shi Huang, you should ask those summoned heroic spirits what their purpose is in reappearing in the mortal world."

He was a king who had experienced the terror of life and death, and he knew very well what would happen if he were summoned using a Heroic Spirit summoning technique...

He will answer the call, even though he has seen it all through his clairvoyance.

To appear in the future and witness firsthand what happens afterward—this must be the wish of those heroic spirits who answered the call.

Although they were summoned to clean up Chaldea's mess...

Siduli pondered, fully understanding why the First Emperor was so angry. "His Majesty probably hopes that the deceased can rest in peace. In the parlance of the Nine Provinces, it means—let the living handle the affairs of the world, shall we?"

"Wow... I suddenly... I've suddenly grown to like this First Emperor!" Ereshkigal's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected the people of Qin to value the dead so much.

That would certainly mean she would also have great respect for the goddess who rules the underworld, right?

"Hehehe... If I appeared in the Qin Dynasty Lostbelt, I wonder if the First Emperor would treat me well."

“Well, if it were Ereshkigal, the magnanimous First Emperor would certainly treat you as a guest from another world. But…” As she said this, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Ishtar, this goddess who liked to cause trouble, who might very well be humiliated by the First Emperor.

"...Hey!! Fujimaru, what's with that expression?! It's like you're telling me that if I, the goddess, appear in the Great Qin Lostbelt, Ishtar will definitely mess things up and embarrass myself!?" Ishtar glared at Fujimaru Ritsuka, refusing to give her an explanation.

She was about to throw a tantrum on the floor!

"Hmph! I am the goddess of beauty. There's no way the First Emperor could resist my charm!! After all, this emperor is far more powerful than Gilgamesh, so his aesthetic sense must be far superior, right?"

"Pfft..." Anna couldn't help but laugh at Ishtar's boastful words. "It's alright, it's alright... please continue..."

"Ah... the First Emperor, I wonder if he's good at wrestling!" Quetzalcoatl grinned, looking curiously at the Great Qin Lostbelt and at this peaceful world.

She really liked this peaceful environment, free from conflict and war.

If only we could hold a wrestling match between all the heroic spirits of the pan-human history and all the heroes of the Qin Dynasty!

Leonardo da Vinci, staring at the image of Mount Li on the screen, swallowed hard. "Hey, Romani, look... Mount Li is nestled against the Qinling Mountains. With the current technological capabilities of the Qin Dynasty, they could definitely build a space inside that could accommodate millions of people..."

She paused, then voiced her hypothesis: "Could it be that, before the Common Era, all the heroes of the Nine Provinces were somehow asleep within Mount Li? When the First Emperor needed them, he could awaken them. Perhaps the power of these sleeping heroes was...!"

"Could this be the reason why the First Emperor looked down on Chaldea's summoning magic and Heroic Spirit system?"

"Hmm... If these heroes are not magical beings, but truly flesh and blood, then the spirit origins granted by magic are certainly not as powerful as their original bodies... In that case, they could fully unleash their original strength. Except for the inability to materialize and act... in every aspect, they would be stronger than the heroic spirits summoned from the Throne of Heroes."

Dr. Roman felt a headache coming on. He rubbed his temples, picked up his coffee, took a sip, and said, "Hopefully, we can only hope that things aren't as serious as we think!"

Spy world.

Joel Fogel's eyes turned an intense red, like flowing lake water, as she kept recalling the scene of Hinako Akuta fighting with dual swords.

"Ah... Miss Jing Ke, Miss Akuta Hinako, the way you kill people is so beautiful."

"Hmm, so this is the First Emperor's art of imperial balance..." Lloyd held a book he had bought from the All-Worlds Forum, "Zizhi Tongjian," and read it incessantly, turning the pages one by one. As the orange-yellow pages turned, knowledge flowed into his mind.

The ability to remember everything at a glance is truly enviable.

Lloyd Fogger, it's such a waste to have such outstanding skills as a spy. Why don't you join the Great Evolution?

The fifth singularity.

Li Wenshu looked at the First Emperor in the picture with reverence, "As expected of the First Emperor who unified the nine provinces. The reason for his anger is simply seeing these heroic spirits who should have been sleeping disturbed again, and once again giving their all to save the world, and that makes him angry."

"Yes, these fallen heroes will only be worshipped in Kyushu for eternity. The people will only pray for these heroes, offer incense, and remember the heroes who once protected the land of Kyushu."

"We will not disturb those who have already died."

"However, when our descendants truly need us to step in, for the sake of the land of Kyushu, for the sake of countless families, and for the sake of protecting the lights of every home, we will certainly respond to you."

"The call."

Scáthach nodded in understanding.

However, she saw her disciple being summoned repeatedly, dying repeatedly... and always in that same way...

She still felt that Cú Chulainn should not respond to the magicians' summons.

Rather than appearing in pan-human history and dying in a frustrating way, it's better to enjoy Maeve's harassment in the Throne of Heroes.

Chaldea's temporary base, located 200 kilometers outside Xianyang.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, along with Mashu, Nezha, and others, followed the canal in search of wild animal tracks, hoping to locate the lair of the monsters released by Goyanskaya through these unnatural footprints.

"Oh dear! Your fighting is really excessive. If you keep fighting like that, someone on one side will surely die!" the farmer said, arms crossed.

This was the first time he had ever seen a fight so intense that it almost resulted in someone's death.

"Fighting?? Well... actually, we were really fighting for our lives." Mashu looked at the villagers with a puzzled expression and said embarrassedly.

"Huh—!? Why???" The villagers looked at Mashu in confusion, wondering why she was fighting so desperately, and why she had to fight so hard.

"So why were you fighting so fiercely with those guys? Even though they did start it. Do you have some deep-seated grudge against each other?"

“Uh…” Mashu didn’t know what to say for a moment, how to explain this to the villagers.

"Um... excuse me, excuse me for interrupting. Have any of you ever seen an automaton like this before?" Sherlock Holmes asked the villagers.

"What are you talking about? What is that? I don't know, I've never seen it before."

"Hey! This is the first time I've ever seen something like this. I thought it was dead. It gave me quite a fright. Its limbs are broken, but it's not bleeding at all. Is this a scarecrow?!"

The villagers squatted beside the destroyed automaton, looking in astonishment at the exquisitely crafted, lifelike mechanical doll. They had initially thought it was a scarecrow made by some skilled farmer to scare away birds.

"The craftsmanship is so exquisite... It will definitely scare away birds if you put it in the field."

"However, I have never seen a scarecrow that can walk and hit people."

"That's true, hahaha!" The middle-aged man smiled sheepishly.

Upon witnessing this, Sherlock Holmes and Fujimaru Ritsuka returned to Shadow Border.

They found that the villagers here were very relaxed, as if they had never seen any battle scenes.

Even if they witness the battle between Chaldea and Hinako Akuta, they will neither interfere nor stop it.

Sherlock Holmes was curious as to why these villagers had never seen the mechanical dolls, a local technological product of the Qin Dynasty's Lost Belt.

He believed that these villagers had no idea what the concepts of "weapons" and "war" were.

The villagers here seem to have never seen war artifacts in their lives, nor do they care about such things; they only focus on managing the fields they are responsible for.

Suddenly, screams and panicked cries came from the fields outside Shadow Border.

Just then, a one-eyed giant monster, about five meters tall, emerged from the nearby forest. Its scarlet eyes stared at the panicked villagers who were scattering in all directions, and it strode towards them.

A foot the size of a tire stepped on the ground, leaving a dent with each step, crushing the golden wheat.

"A monster!! Another strange monster has appeared!!!" The village garrison soldier stared in astonishment at the monster that had emerged from the forest.

"Hey hey???? I mean, isn't solving these things your job?" The short-haired female villager, carrying a bamboo basket containing lunch and a kettle, had intended to bring food to her husband, but unexpectedly encountered a monster.

"How can a single wooden stick possibly deal with those monsters?! Hey, fellow travelers, please help us!!!" The guard turned around and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, Nezha, and Mashu. These travelers, who were all strong fighters, might have a solution, right?

“Hmm. It seems that now is the time for us to lend a hand.” Sherlock Holmes nodded, using the mirrors around his body to reflect light and focus it on the giant monster’s single eye.

"Yes!! Mash Kyrielight, begin the attack!" Mash nodded, conjured the Galahad Shield in her hand, and charged forward.

Fou's fluffy little paws clung tightly to the armor on Mashu's shoulders. "Fou! Fou!"

Jing Ke, Mordred, and Mash rushed forward and swiftly slaughtered these giant monsters unique to the Norse Lostbelt.

Mordred wielded the Brilliant King's Sword, easily severing the giant monster's body with a single strike. The sword then shifted, slicing the giant's body in two, blood gushing out.

The surrounding villagers stared in disbelief at Mordred, a girl with an adorable appearance, who fought the monster with incredible ferocity.

"This is getting stranger and stranger. And a few of them escaped. Judging from the way they fled into the forest, could their nest be somewhere here?"

"A nest..." Mashu's expression turned serious. Luckily, they hadn't left yet, otherwise these villagers would be doomed... The consequences would be unimaginable.

"Yes! If we don't find them quickly and wipe out all these monsters hiding in the forest, the situation will worsen! This village in front of us..."

It has absolutely no defensive capabilities... If even one monster manages to get in, we're doomed.

Mordred nodded, gazing at the forest. She removed her armor, donned her Chaldea work clothes, and squatted down, looking at the giant corpses with some disdain, seemingly because they couldn't be turned into food.

She came here to help Chaldea kill the First Emperor.

However, before that, she still hoped to completely eliminate these suddenly appearing monsters and prevent these innocent ordinary people from suffering undeserved disasters.

The village guards were only responsible for handling simple matters.

They drove away the wild boars, stray dogs, and weasels that had wandered into the village and were stealing grain, and dealt with the drunkards.

There has been no war here for countless years, and we have never seen anyone from other countries.

They had only heard it from the village elders, from some rumors that were decades old.

It seems that in the past, there were monsters on the land of Kyushu that looked like humans but were more terrifying than wild boars. They did not eat crops in the fields, but only liked to eat people.

When the villagers first saw the Chaldeans here, they mistakenly thought that Chaldeans were the man-eating monsters of legend.

After carefully analyzing the information he gathered from the villagers, Sherlock Holmes concluded: "The people in this Lostbelt have no concept of a nation."

"It's so ancient that even the rumors have become vague."

"You mean, the Qin Dynasty in the Nine Provinces Lostbelt has already unified the entire world? A unified nation that transcends ethnicity and religion?? Is that really possible??" Leonardo da Vinci found it hard to believe. This was something that humanity had taken tens of thousands of years to accomplish, yet the Qin Dynasty seemed to have achieved it in less than a thousand years?

"So there was neither war nor any chance to see any weapons..." Mashu looked at Holmes with surprise in her amethyst-like eyes.

"Under the rule of the First Emperor, the world achieved absolute peace. Peace so profound that knowledge of weapons, war, combat, and defense against invasion vanished from the minds of the people."
