Public executions started with King Adonai

Gilgamesh: "You don't need to know now. When the time comes, you will know."

"For now, we just need to complete the summoning of reinforcements."

Roman also raised his head at this time, his expression very distressed: "I understand. Indeed, to face the unrestrained Primordial Sea, no amount of combat power will be enough."

"Okay, I'll get everyone ready!"

Gilgamesh snorted coldly, "There's no need to send more people. Your omnipotent man in Chaldea can stay in Chaldea. The only one we need to send here is the Red Kite Immortal."

In Chaldea, everyone in the command room turned their gazes to Fu Hua, who was on standby. After a moment's pause, the latter immediately nodded, "Yes, I'm ready to attack at any time!"

Roman complained to Gilgamesh: "You are obviously from the first timeline, how can you know so much about the present Chaldea? Can your eyes even see the present Chaldea?"

Gilgamesh snorted coldly, "Although I cannot see, I can exchange some information with my future self."

"Or, you don't even know about this kind of thing?"

Roman's expression froze, and he gave an awkward yet polite smile: "Well, it seems that this kind of thing can be done..."

Then, I just stopped talking weakly.

The others watched silently as the two exchanged words. They could all tell that Roman and Gilgamesh definitely knew each other, and seemed to be very familiar with each other, otherwise they wouldn't be so 'casual' in their communication.

From this point, it can be seen that Roman's identity and background are even more confusing.

For those who haven't guessed his true identity yet, it is even more curious.

As for some people who have realized the truth, they became thoughtful and felt that their guesses were more reliable.

And it was in this situation with so many speculations that Fu Hua was guided and summoned to the singularity, appearing in the center of the constructed ancient magic circle ceremony.

Next, it is the Heroic Spirit Summoning Ceremony of Fujimaru Tachibana!

Chapter 991: The Gaze of the Primordial Sea, Fujimaru Tachibana Summoning Hope

After Fu Hua arrived on the screen, she was stunned for a moment, then looked around. After seeing everyone, she understood what was going on: "So that's what it feels like to be summoned? It's completely different from the feeling of soul particle transfer..."

At this moment, everyone in Chaldea looked at the place where Fu Hua had just stood with surprise, because just now, a blue halo suddenly emerged from Fu Hua's body, and a magic circle appeared under her feet, and then she turned into light particles and disappeared along with the magic circle.

When it appears again, it is already within the singularity.

"It's truly magical... It's a completely different feeling from soul particle transfer..."

Then, the girl, who looked like a beautiful Chinese girl, said to Gilgamesh, "Thank you for your help, King Gilgamesh. I have always wanted to help Ritsuka and the others in Chaldea, but I have no way. It is only with your help that I can come here."

Gilgamesh: "No need to thank me, Red Kite Immortal. I have heard of your deeds. Although you are a rather pedantic person, you are worthy of the title of Guardian and deserve my commendation."

"Uh..." This arrogant attitude made Fu Hua ashamed, but she didn't say much. She nodded and walked out of the magic circle, came to Fujimaru Tachibana and the others, and greeted them in a low voice.

Fujimaru Tachibana naturally responded and also had a lot to say to Fu Hua.

However, now is not the right time, after all, I still need to summon servants.

As for Fu Hua, she knew that others had other things to do, so she stayed quietly. However, she also noticed that since entering this singularity, the Honkai energy in her body has been suppressed.

The environment of the Age of Gods also had an impact on this "immortal" who had lived for more than 50,000 years.

"Is this the God Age's resistance to the collapse?"

Fu Hua spoke in her heart, seeming to be lost in thought. Then her attention shifted away from this matter and she focused on the next summoning ceremony.

Under the guidance of Gilgamesh, Fujimaru Tachibana raised the arm with the Command Seal and opened his hand, aiming it at the magic circle.

The summoning incantation began to be chanted next, and Gilgamesh guided the power of the Holy Grail into it, forming communication with existence outside the singularity through the Holy Grail.

Gilgamesh's wine-red eyes revealed a solemn expression: "Will it succeed? No, if it's 'Fujimaru Ritsuka', then the possibility I've envisioned will inevitably succeed!"

It seems that Gilgamesh has different expectations in this summoning, and seems to be very eager for the existence that Fujimaru Tachibana will summon, hoping that Fujimaru Tachibana can really successfully summon a servant.

However, this expectation and desire was not expressed, but silently guided Fujimaru Tachibana to summon. No one on the scene knew about it, and only the people in the real world could understand this desire through Gilgamesh's voice.

Of course, Merlin might also know this, after all, he has a pair of clairvoyant eyes that can observe the 'present'.

However, given Merlin's personality, he would probably pretend not to know even if he knew.

Soon after, the summoning spell was completed, and the summoning of the Heroic Spirit belonging to Fujimaru Tachibana was completed.

In an instant, colorful light bloomed in the magic circle, which was a sign that the summoning ceremony was completed.

It seems that a servant is about to appear.

Everyone who saw this scene had different reactions. Mashu showed a surprised expression and shouted "Great, it worked."

Fujimaru Tachibana couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense mood relaxed - after all, he finally did not disappoint everyone's expectations.

But at this moment, suddenly, a terrifying consciousness seemed to penetrate the barriers of the numerous worlds and fell on Fujimaru Tachibana through the summoning circle.

At that moment, Fujimaru Tachibana felt that the surrounding scenery had completely changed, turning into darkness, the legendary colorful black.

Then, a pair of huge eyes appeared right in front of Fujimaru Tachibana.

They were a pair of strange pink eyes, with x-shaped star marks on their pupils.

In those eyes, there was astonishment, but also inexplicable tenderness and kindness.

Being stared at by such eyes, Fujimaru Tachibana inexplicably developed a very warm feeling, as if she was being gently watched by her mother. It was very wonderful.

But before Fujimaru Tachibana, who was stunned by this strange feeling, could come to his senses, his eyes changed.

The pink eyes were stained with dark red, and then the motherly tenderness completely disappeared, replaced by sadness and pain, as well as the "evil" formed by being swallowed by endless negative emotions!

Just like...

To devour everything in the world!

The next moment, an ethereal sound that shook the space was heard.

“Aaaaaaaa~”

The woman's cry, like a song, and like a swan song at the end of the world, shocked Fujimaru Tachibana's mind.

In an instant, Fujimaru Tachibana felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart. The next moment, a dark tide of "black mud" suddenly appeared and completely swallowed her.

Faced with such a horrifying scene, Fujimaru Tachibana subconsciously took a step back.

At this step, the surrounding scenery completely changed, and Fujimaru Tachibana found himself back in the real world, back in the throne room of the temple, back before the summoning ceremony.

Fujimaru Tachibana thought he was hallucinating, but at this moment, a cry of surprise was heard from other people, as if they had seen something incredible and terrifying.

At that moment, Fujimaru Tachibana looked up, and the scene she saw made her pupils shrink, because the colorful light that summoned the servant disappeared at this moment.

Or rather, it went out like a light going out.

When the light completely disappeared, dark red energy suddenly gushed out from the center of the magic circle, like a gushing spring. It was full of ominous aura and a manifestation of "evil". Just looking at it was enough to make people feel suffocated and fearful.

Even people in the real world would feel uncomfortable when seeing this, and their bodies would react with conditioned reflexes.

Such a terrifying scene, as if the most terrifying monster in the world was about to rush out from it, made people in the real world feel physically and mentally uncomfortable, and also made everyone in the light screen image subconsciously alert.

Mashu immediately rushed to Fujimaru Tachibana and raised her shield for defense.

However, the worst situation did not happen in the end. Nothing terrifying came out from it. After the dark red energy gushed out for a while, it suddenly bloomed and dissipated.

Although the air was filled with dark red ominous energy, it did not cause any pollution, but instead decomposed in the environment of this age of gods.

When the dark red energy completely disappeared, changes occurred in the center of the magic circle.

However, no servants were summoned from it. What remained there was a strange card as big as a Yu-Gi-Oh card.

I don’t know what the card is made of. It doesn’t look like paper. There are pictures on it, which seem to be in the deep sea, and there are many water-blue things in the ocean, as if they were made of water elements.

The top of the card is the sea surface, and you can still see light, but the darker it gets as you go down. At the bottom of the card, it is already dark purple, deep and terrifying, as if something terrifying is hidden, and as if it is connected to another virtual space.

There were no words on this card, just a picture. However, when everyone saw the card, they had the same strange idea, which was that the card was called 'Return'!

Yes, the name naturally appears in people's minds, as if this card has the strange ability of quantum communication.

In fact, not only the people in the light screen image, but even the people in the real world had the same idea through the light screen image and knew the name of this card.

The bizarre situation made countless people in the real world exclaim in disbelief, and many looked at each other in astonishment and remained silent.

This card caused quite a stir due to mixed reactions from people.

But no matter what the reaction was, everyone understood that the origin of this card was definitely not simple. Many people thought that it must be some kind of magical artifact or treasure, otherwise there would be no reason for such an exaggerated situation.

……

On the screen, after a moment of shock, Fujimaru Tachibana's expression turned awkward and subtle: "Ah, this... did I, did my summoning fail?"

Except for the wise king, everyone else looked at each other with awkward expressions. After all, judging from the current situation, Fujimaru Tachibana's summoning had indeed failed, as not a single servant appeared.

However, just as everyone was considering how to comfort Fujimaru Tachibana, Gilgamesh spoke.

"No, the summoning was successful. This was your only chance, and you seized it, Ritsuka."

After saying that, he walked forward, stretched out his hand and picked up the card from the ground.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Why is it said to be a success when no Servant was summoned? Was this the card Gilgamesh wanted to summon in the first place?

Also, what does this one-time opportunity mean?

Is there only one chance to summon this card?

Or does summoning a heroic spirit only happen once?

Roman, who had been watching through the communicator, couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Hey, hey, hey, King Gilgamesh, what do you mean by that? Is this one chance just to summon that strange card?"

"Does this mean I only have one chance to summon this card, or does it mean I only have one chance to summon a Heroic Spirit?"

Gilgamesh did not answer, but stretched out his hand towards the suspended Holy Grail, and the Holy Grail naturally flew back into his hand.

After Gilgamesh took the Holy Grail in his hand and examined it for a while, the image on the light screen showed that the Holy Grail had developed many cracks without him noticing.

This situation surprised people in the real world and also surprised everyone at the scene.

Mash: "How could this happen? Why would the Holy Grail..."

Gilgamesh snorted coldly and returned the Holy Grail to the King's Treasury. "This singularity has now been sealed off by the Primordial Sea. Any attempt to summon Heroic Spirits will be detected by it."

"Theoretically speaking, once a summoning is carried out, it will be countered, causing the summoning ritual to fail."

At this point, he looked at Ritsuka, "Ritsuka, as the summoning executor, you should have seen something just now, right?"

Fujimaru Tachibana's eyes widened slightly, and he recalled the horrific scene he had just seen and the pair of mysterious pink eyes. He nodded immediately and said, "My consciousness seemed to be pulled into a mysterious space, and then I saw a pair of pink eyes."

Merlin, who was watching from the sidelines, had a look of 'as expected' on his face.

Gilgamesh nodded: "Everything is in line with my plan."

Fujimaru Tachibana frowned. "So, you knew from the beginning that this summoning was doomed to fail? No, with those eyes, you could indeed see failure from the start."

Gilgamesh did not answer directly, but turned back to the throne.

After sitting down, he half-supported his head with his right hand and said, "Yes, as you yourself have realized, I have foreseen all this."

"Rather, Ritsuka, now you have finally answered the question in your heart."

Hearing this, Fujimaru Tachibana was silent for a moment before nodding. "Since I knew you, King Gilgamesh, could summon Servants, I've been thinking that since you were able to do it once and you have the Holy Grail, even if a Servant retires, you should be able to summon them again to replenish their strength. But you didn't do anything, so I think there's something wrong."

"The reason they didn't do it was probably because they had some concerns, or maybe it was because such a miracle couldn't be repeated."

Gilgamesh smiled. "Yes, you were able to guess this. It proves that the experience in the first timeline was not in vain. The you who started over again has grown a lot compared to the original you."

"As you saw during the summoning just now, a being more terrifying than the entire singularity has sealed it off. Even though I was able to summon a Servant, I only did so once. When I tried to summon again, the possibility of summoning was already blocked."

"The owner of those eyes has sealed everything off."

"Even this king cannot repeat the miracle of summoning heroic spirits under the blockade of the Primordial Sea."

"However, in this ultimate desperate situation, Ritsuka, you are an exception."

"The owner of those eyes noticed you and indeed blocked your summoning process once again."

"But that One also responded to you, responding with the will of primordial love. He gave you, and us, our only hope of defeating the primordial sea in its full glory."

As he spoke, Gilgamesh snapped his fingers, and the mysterious card he was holding flew directly towards Fujimaru Tachibana.

Fujimaru Tachibana subconsciously raised his hand and caught the card accurately.

Then, when Fujimaru Rikka couldn't help but look at it, Gilgamesh spoke again: "Ritsuka, keep this card safe!"

"The only hope has answered your call, and this hope is now in your hands."
