My mother's love song

The Demon King, who was the unified Demon God, had completely lost his power and only had a few minutes left to move. He was a useless man with one foot half in the coffin.

Rhodes has been watching from the sidelines, and has not consumed any resources so far.

In other words, BeastVI is the strongest being in this conceptual universe.

What is his purpose?

This thought lingered in Goetia's mind.

"What is your purpose for suddenly appearing here after all this? You are not here just to laugh at us, are you? If that's the case, it's really too stupid."

"How is that possible?" Rhodes sat safely on the throne, supporting his face with one hand and said with a smile.

"I'm not the kind of person who would take advantage of a friend's misfortune to laugh at him. Goetia, you think too badly of me, don't you?"

"Why……?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned.

She was already confused when Romani appeared in the Temple of Time, and now Rhodes' appearance made her even more confused.

And he actually called the culprit behind the burning of human nature his friend?

"Lord, do you know Gaetia?"

"...Humph, how stupid. Haven't you noticed it yet, Fujimaru Ritsuka?"

Goetia glanced at the girl and snorted coldly.

He found it ridiculous that Fujimaru Ritsuka was easily deceived by Rod.

"This guy is one of the seven evils of humanity, just like me."

"What……!?"

Goetia's words were powerful and brought shocking facts.

“…You must be kidding.”

Leonardo stared at the monitor with his mouth half open.

The Chaldea control room suddenly fell silent, and even a pin drop could be heard.

After sacrificing Mashu and Romani, the staff members who finally saw the dawn of victory all turned pale.

They understood the meaning of Goetia's words.

Is there still a terrifying enemy like Goetia and Tiamat?!

And right next to Fujimaru Ritsuka! ?

Unprecedented despair hung in the air of the entire control room.

"impossible."

The person who broke the peace was Fujimaru Ritsuka.

The existence of this young man, Rod, can be said to be the most powerful among all the companions that Fujimaru Ritsuka has met so far.

Maybe, he could even rival Goetia.

Why can a boy who doesn't even know his real name easily defeat powerful enemies like Quetzalcoatl and the Warcraft Goddess Gorgon?

Why he is favored by Beast II.

If he were also a human evil, everything would make sense.

Even so, Ritsuka refuted in a firm tone.

"Goetia, you can't fool me! Rod-kun can't be Beast, he is a companion who fought with me, Mashu, and the doctor!"

"Right, that's right! How could Rod-kun be a beast?

"Yes, she's different from Goetia! She has such a cute face!"

After hearing Ritsuka's assertion, the Chaldean staff all breathed a sigh of relief.

Goetia said in a deep voice with a sarcastic expression: "Whether it's you, Mashu Kyrielight, or Solomon, humans only see superficial things.

That’s why this planet is so hopeless.”

While despising Ritsuka in her heart, Gaetia turned to Rhodes.

Goetia had long been on guard against Rhodes, the most likely existence to threaten humanity.

He asked Flauros to investigate everything about the young man, and kept observing his spiritual changes in secret to prevent him from gaining new powers.

Since Goetia was in the Crown Time Temple, which had no concept of time, he had the same perspective as Rhodes.

There is a hidden story.

Goetia's instincts were setting off alarm bells.

Although the Demon King destroyed human history, his ultimate goal was to create a new world.

But Goetia had no idea and no interest in the ambitions and goals of the young man in front of him.

All he had was the idea that "he could not tolerate anyone destroying human history on his behalf."

As expected, he still couldn't trust the other beasts. Goetia said, "BeastVI, what are you going to do? Don't forget what you promised us before. You said you would not take action in this singularity."

After Goetia asked this, Rhodes nodded.

"Yes, I did say that. I said, 'I, Rhodes, will not attack you.' But what if I am not Rhodes?"

"Varied."

Rhodes smiled and waved his hand at the First Beast who showed a subtle expression.

“Just kidding, just kidding, don’t be nervous.

As I said before, Gatia, I will cheer for you the next time we meet."

"... Cheers to me?"

Should we cheer for ourselves who have lost our omnipotence, can no longer maintain our physical bodies, and can only fight like trapped beasts?

"Yes."

Rhodes nodded honestly.

"Goetia, your determination is so strong that it touches me deeply. That's why I want to applaud you."

After saying this, he clapped his hands in a very exaggerated manner, causing the crumbling Temple of Time to echo with untimely applause.

He clearly snatched the throne from someone else, and now he is applauding from a superior position.

No one felt the slightest respect from it, instead it felt more like sarcasm.

"……boring."

Goetia snorted coldly.

Undeterred by his cold response, Rod continued.

"Then, to show my respect for you, I decided to help you."

"...You said you wanted to help me?"

When Goetia showed a suspicious expression, Fujimaru Ritsuka next to him suddenly exclaimed.

"Wait! Rod-kun! Are you kidding me!?"

Although he didn't know what he was thinking, if Rhodes really intended to help Goetia here, all the efforts accumulated so far would be wasted.

She looked at Rhodes with a panicked expression.

"...Ah, don't be impatient. Ritsuka, I've seen all of you Chaldea's activities.

Chaldea is my loyal ally and quality customer, and if possible, I would also like to establish a long-lasting friendship with you.

Moreover, I am deeply moved by the sacrifice of Mashu and the doctor, and I really want to support you, so I decided to intervene in this battle as a neutral party. "

What has this guy been talking about since just now?

For the first time, Ritsuka and Gaetia reached a consensus on their ideas.

This was clearly the final battle that depended on the survival of the planet, but it was ridiculous for Rhode to say that he wanted to mediate between the two warring parties.

"Hear me out."

Rhodes said as he observed the expressions of Gaetia and Ritsuka.

"So I came up with a very reasonable solution that will satisfy both of you."

Ritsuka: “That’s very reasonable…”

Leonardo da Vinci: "It can satisfy both parties..."

Goetia: "Solution."

Fufu: "...Fuwu?"

Rhodes nodded, then went straight to the point.

"First, I will restore Goetia's strength to the peak it was ten minutes ago, before Romani self-destructed."

"!!!"

Ritsuka's eyes widened.

This is obviously unacceptable.

Regardless of whether Rhodes has the power to restore Goetia, that was the result of a battle against Romani at the cost of his life.

"Second, I will resurrect Romani."

Rhodes said: "Romani Akiman, who just disappeared from the human world, I will let him return to this world."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was silent.

Goetia was also silent.

Rhodes said loudly and cheerfully: "That's right! It seems you have guessed it!

It is better to say that [Resurrection of Romani] and [Resurrection of Goetia], these two results are originally combined and inseparable.

Romani gave everything he had back to God, and that is why Goetia's power was taken away.

Then if he wanted to revive the Doctor, Goetia would naturally regain his strength... After all, he was the Beast born from Solomon's corpse and deeds.

Vice versa, if Goetia regains his strength, the doctor will be able to return to his human nature... Of course, it will be difficult to achieve this."

After hearing what Rod said, Fujimaru Ritsuka's gaze wavered for a moment.

After a brief silence, she spoke softly.

"……Can't."

The trembling voice that came out of the girl's lips was full of despair and sadness.

With tears in his eyes, Fujimaru Ritsuka choked and said, "Rod, you can't... you can't revive the doctor.

If the doctor is resurrected, Goetia will complete the final incineration of humanity, and Chaldea cannot allow this.

More importantly...the doctor, with the belief that he would die, gave everything to heaven for the future of mankind.

I will not allow you to defile his sacrifice...if you intend to do so. Lord, I will do everything in my power to stop you."

In the distant Chaldea control room, the sobbing sounds of the staff echoed.

How much sorrow must Ritsuka have to hold back to be able to say such words?

Obviously, she was sadder than anyone else about Romani's death, but she endured the grief and made the best choice.

"Well...I think so."

Rhodes shrugged, looking somewhat helpless but with a look of great relief on his face.

"Ritsuka, you have really grown up.

When I first saw you, I was actually a little disappointed. The last master of mankind was really just an ordinary girl.

But now you are completely different from what you were then.

What clear eyes! Mash Kyrielight would trust you so much and be grateful to you. Romani Akiman would entrust you with the mission of reclaiming the future of mankind. It is understandable that they can leave with peace of mind.

But, I refuse. I am here to revive Romani Ajman.”
