Public executions started with King Adonai

After glancing at Jeanne with displeasure, the King of Heroes returned his gaze to Solomon, his voice filled with displeasure: "So the real caster of this Holy Grail War is you, Solomon!"

"No wonder Tokiomi created a field in Fuyuki City that blocks future vision. It turns out he knew about your existence a long time ago."

"How displeasing to this king! That bastard Tokiomi... But, Solomon, I can't believe a bastard like you would actually respond to such a boring Holy Grail War. Could it be that you, a fellow, would still be interested in such a boring thing?"

"As 'nothing', do you also have desires?"

At the end of his words, the Hero King narrowed his eyes, and a searching emotion was revealed in his scarlet pupils.

Obviously, the Hero King seemed not only to know Solomon, but also to have a considerable understanding of Solomon.

If history is not fabricated, it only proves that Solomon and the King of Heroes had a good relationship in Heroic Throne - at least this is the possibility people can imagine now.

In response to the King of Heroes' question, Solomon remained silent.

Then, he suddenly raised his right hand, and one of the rings flashed.

Then, Solomon's body disappeared in a burst of blue light.

This scene stunned both the King of Heroes and Joan of Arc, and then Joan of Arc discovered something and looked towards the sea.

The Hero King instantly flew into a rage, as if he had been greatly humiliated.

However, now that his Noble Phantasms and skills were sealed, the King of Heroes, with his upper body exposed, could do nothing but show off his physique and rage helplessly.

The camera then shifts to where Marisbury is.

The man showed a helpless expression on his face and sighed: "It seems that I failed..."

Then, Solomon appeared beside Marisbilly with a burst of white light.

Obviously, this was Solomon's teleportation magic. After his ultimate move failed, he returned to Marisbilly.

because……

As his eyes moved, he saw Tōsaka Tokiomi sitting elegantly on the seat of the yacht with an elegant smile on his face.

Tōsaka Tokiomi has actually arrived at Marisbury!

For a moment, the people in the real world even stopped breathing.

It was clear that Tōsaka Tokiomi was still in Sonzo Mountain just now, but now he was at the place where Marisbury was. This speed and insight were too terrifying.

However, Marisbury was not surprised by this. Instead, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Sure enough, even if I run to the sea, I still can't escape your pursuit."

Tōsaka Tokiomi smiled elegantly: "This is natural. Once you take action, you can no longer hide it."

Marisbury was silent for a moment, then asked, "When did you become aware of our presence? I had Caster cast a shielding spell, so as long as he didn't take action, you shouldn't have been able to detect our presence."

Tōsaka Tokiomi looked at Solomon and said, "Indeed, with this Caster's magical proficiency, your disguise magic is almost perfect. Even I cannot detect your presence."

"However, sometimes smart people always do unnecessary things. When you secretly contact other Masters with the intention of 'playing it safe', you are already at risk of being exposed."

Marisbury: "That's true, but we should have taken safety measures."

Tōsaka Tokiomi: "That's true. However, you came into contact with Matou Kariya, and that was your biggest mistake."

Marisbury was puzzled: "Why? You shouldn't have left any spying methods on Matou Kariya, right?"

Tōsaka Tokiomi nodded: "I certainly don't, and I wouldn't care about a weak mortal. However, he accepted the transformation of Matou Zouken, and Matou Zouken likes to leave monitoring Crest Bugs in the bodies of those he transformed. Coincidentally, Matou Kariya has one."

Marisbury suddenly understood. "So that's how it is. Did Zouken Matou know about Caster and me? Then, Zouken Matou must be completely under your control, and it's because of Zouken Matou that you know about us."

Tōsaka Tokiomi smiled but said nothing.

This gesture, even without answering, actually explains the answer.

There is even a flashback clip that follows, telling the story of the first time Marisbury came into contact with Matou Kariya. Although he had made complete concealment measures, his existence was known to Matou Zouken because of the imprint worm in Matou Kariya's body.

Then, Tōsaka Tokiomi learned about the existence of Marisberry and Solomon through Matou Zouken's nesting dolls.

At that time, Tohsaka Tokiomi did not know Solomon's true identity, but Kenneth's performance revealed clues that the Marisbury side might have future vision.

Therefore, Tōsaka Tokiomi put a 'lid' on the Holy Grail War, rendering the ability of future vision ineffective.

This man who had a clear understanding of the overall situation was well prepared to deal with Marisbury's side.

Therefore, Marisbury's cautious approach of seeking allies and using them as cover was regarded by Tohsaka Tokiomi as being too clever for his own good.

-

In the real world, this wave of truth revealed made countless people exclaim involuntarily, "Wow!" and also made their imaginations soar.

This suspense is resolved, and the effect of the "I predicted your prediction" kind of nesting doll-style battle of wits is presented, which has a huge impact on people, and their imagination is naturally generated in an endless stream.

Of course, for some people with low IQ, this wave of performance was a bit brain-burning, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses, and they were still trying their best to sort out the cause and effect.

For example, Black Jeanne d'Arc now looks confused and is trying hard to sort out the cause and effect in her mind.

For this young girl, who was born not long ago, this nesting doll-like situation is too difficult to understand.

However, the subsequent developments also made people all over the world nervous and expectant.

Because the two most hidden bosses of the long-awaited Holy Grail War are finally facing each other head-on. If there is not a battle of heaven and earth, sea dry and rocks, ultimate bladder sword level battle, I am sorry for waiting so long!

As for why the King of Heroes called Solomon "Nothing" before, it is ignored by people now, and at most some people who observe carefully have recorded this matter.

Of course, official agencies with professional teams will not miss any details, but they will put this detail aside for the time being and study and discuss it later.

-

Marisbury shook his head helplessly at the screen image. "That's really frustrating... Looking at it this way, it seems I can just do nothing and let Uryu Ryunosuke and Gil-de-Ray operate as Team Caster and wait for the right time."

Tōsaka Tokiomi had a meaningful smile on his face: "Maybe that's not necessarily the case."

Seeing this, Marisbury laughed again: "No, even if I really did that, you must have other backup plans. After all, you are really a scary man."

Tōsaka Tokiomi remained noncommittal, his smile returning to its elegant state. "So, what are you going to do next? Are you going to go all out and kill me right here?"

"After all, my Servant, the Hero King, has been sealed with his Noble Phantasm by your Caster. Even if I summon him with the Command Seals, I won't be able to provide much help. Perhaps you could give it a try?"

Marisbury smiled and shook his head. "No, when the prepared first move fails and you stand before me, this Holy Grail War is meaningless. Maybe on the surface there's still a chance if I give it my all, but I know that if a fight really breaks out, the end result will be at most you getting hurt, and I'll definitely die."

Tōsaka Tokiomi: "Wow, you have so little confidence in yourself? The Servant you summoned is the legendary Magic King!"

Marisberry: "This is a poor provocation, Mr. Tosaka. I know how much I am capable of, so I will leave Fuyuki City soon. And as long as you are still in Fuyuki City, I will not come back."

Tōsaka Tokiomi narrowed his eyes: "You want to give up the Holy Grail just like that?"

Marisbury: "Why insist on something you are destined not to get? Since you have already failed, it is most important to cut your losses in time."

"Also, I don't necessarily need to obtain the Holy Grail. It's just that obtaining it will help me achieve my goal faster. And now that I've already failed, there's no need to persist."

"With King Solomon's omnipotence, even after the Holy Grail War ends, as long as there is sufficient magical energy, we can continue to exist. With King Solomon, even if the speed of achieving my goal will be slowed down, it will be achieved sooner or later. So, isn't withdrawing from this Holy Grail War the natural choice?"

After a pause, he smiled again and said, "Of course, Lord Tōsaka has the power to kill me by force. However, there will definitely be a price to pay. If Lord Tōsaka is willing to take such a huge risk to kill me here, then I will have no choice but to stay in the sea of Fuyuki City."

The background music became tense as he spoke, but Tōsaka Tokiomi didn't hesitate at all after hearing this. He smiled elegantly and asked curiously, "How interesting! So, Your Excellency Animusphia, what is your ultimate goal? I'm really curious. If the Holy Grail is merely a process to achieve your ultimate goal, what exactly is it that you are pursuing?"

Marisbury smiled unchanged: "Actually, it's okay to tell you. What I want to do has never changed from the beginning to the end. It's just..."

Then, at this critical moment, the camera muted the sound, leaving only the background music, and also showed a slow motion, showing that after hearing it, Tohsaka Tokiomi widened his eyes and looked shocked.

People in the real world: “…”

Chapter 228 The real Solomon is a perfect tool

Good guy!

What a great guy!

It’s this routine again!

What a familiar taste, familiar recipe!

The critical moment is treated silently to create suspense.

Who the hell came up with this scheme? Come out and die, you bastard!

Riddler, get out of Fuyuki City!

However, despite the complaints, Marisbury's decision was even more surprising.

"Oh my god, you're actually going to choose to withdraw from the Holy Grail War directly? Are you really that cowardly?"

"This sudden excitement sprained my waist."

"It's really decisive to quit right away."

"Damn it! I was all ready for a great battle, and this is it?"

"It can't be said that, Maris Billy is the choice of a smart person. People who see things can't be done, stop losses immediately, such talents are the scariest."

"Yes, this kind of person won't lose everything immediately even if they lose. Instead, they will keep some chips and wait for a comeback in the future."

"That kind of mentality is truly terrifying. Faced with such a long-prepared plan, and then suddenly losing it, one's mentality must have collapsed. But Marisbury was very calm. Although he regretted the loss, his mentality was not affected at all."

"Right, right, that's the mentality. Even if you lose, your status doesn't drop at all. Instead, people look up to you even more."

"Also, this guy Tōsaka Tokiomi was able to kill Marisbilly even when that monster King Solomon was protecting him. Does this mean that he has the strength to compete with King Solomon?"

"Not necessarily. Perhaps it means that the King of Heroes will be summoned to help using the Command Seal."

"The Hero King has a hammer, and while he's certainly very powerful, his strongest point has been sealed by King Solomon. He hasn't shown any strong melee ability, otherwise he wouldn't have been easily defeated by Li Shuwen."

"This should be the strength of Tōsaka Tokiomi himself. However, he shouldn't be stronger than King Solomon. Maris Billy said that he will be killed, but Tōsaka Tokiomi will also be injured."

"However, judging from the current situation, even if Marisbilly and Solomon haven't been exposed, Tōsaka Tokiomi seems to have a way to deal with them... Damn, just how strong is Tōsaka Tokiomi!?"

"I feel like in this Holy Grail War, even without a Servant, Tōsaka Tokiomi can still achieve ultimate victory..."

"Should I say he's worthy of being the strongest boss? His status hasn't decreased over time, but has only gotten higher."

"God knows how this Holy Grail War will develop next. Or rather, we don't know how anyone other than Tōsaka Tokiomi can hope to win."

-

On the screen, Tōsaka Tokiomi smiled.

He laughed very ungracefully, covering his face with his hands, as if he had heard some terrible joke.

Faced with such laughter, Marisbilly remained calm and kept a peaceful smile.

Then, Tōsaka Tokiomi stopped laughing, but still maintained a cheerful and elegant smile as he said, "How interesting! I thought my pursuit was crazy enough, but I never expected there are people in this world who are even crazier than me."

"However, your pursuit runs counter to mine. Tell me, should I kill you here? After all, if you continue to act like this, you will sooner or later become a huge threat to me."

Marisbury smiled calmly and said, "If I'm about to succeed, there's nothing wrong with you doing this, but my goal is still just at the beginning."

"Could it be that Lord Tōsaka is so afraid of me that he must kill me?"

This rhetorical question made the smile on Tōsaka Tokiomi's face grow even wider: "Interesting, really interesting. Having an opponent like you might also be a very interesting thing for me in my journey to the highest position."

"Well, farewell, Animusphia. I look forward to meeting you again—if you still hold on to your ridiculously unrealistic and delusional goals."

As he spoke, Tōsaka Tokiomi had already disappeared from the place.

Marisbury knew that Tōsaka Tokiomi was gone, and he showed a relieved expression. His smile remained unchanged as he said, "It seems that I am safe this time. To be honest, I was really afraid that Tōsaka-sama would kill me regardless of the consequences. In that case, even if you could eventually seriously injure him, I would definitely die."

As he spoke, he looked at Solomon, who had a calm expression.

Or rather, he had a calm expression from beginning to end, whether his ultimate move failed or he met Tohsaka Tokiomi after returning to Marisbury, he remained as calm as ever, as if he was just an insignificant bystander, watching everything silently.

Seeing this, Marisbil didn't care and said, "I'm sorry, Caster, our Holy Grail War is over. We can no longer use the Holy Grail to fulfill our wishes."

Solomon heard this and simply said calmly, "It's alright, I don't place any wishes on the Holy Grail."

Marisbilly nodded. "Indeed, as King Solomon, you are actually a 'nothing' person with no desires or wants. When I summoned you and learned what kind of person you were, I was a little surprised."

"You are a perfect tool man. Even if I tell you to commit suicide, you will do it without hesitation, right?"

Despite these malicious words, Solomon remained calm and responded, "If you need me to commit suicide, then I will do it."

His expression was calm and his words were calm.

It was so calm that it was like saying, "I'm going to drink some water."

Such a situation made people in the real world look surprised.

What? What is this?

Is this what the legendary King Solomon actually is?

How could this be some saintly king? He's just a tool who does whatever others tell him to do.
