Why fight the Holy Grail War? Let's play cards!

"The situation was urgent, so I didn't have a long confrontation with him."

Matthew rubbed her head sheepishly. She hadn't yet heard Bedivere's analysis of Galahad's Noble Phantasm, and the Noble Phantasm she had released wasn't yet in its full form. Therefore, Lancelot hadn't recognized her. Furthermore, Lancelot here was more serious, so she hadn't had the opportunity to discuss it in detail.

"Then you should call him father properly from now on. This guy actually has no moral integrity."

Jiang You thought that since Matthew knew his real name in advance, some other changes would happen. This made him a little disappointed.

"Then I'll continue. This all starts from the Holy Grail War in 04."

Jiang You started with a powerful move. Since he had already spoiled the plot, he would follow through. Now that he had the chance, he planned to tell Gudako everything about the first part all at once. The second part was too long, so he would pick it up later.

"Wait, can this thing be extended so far?"

Dr. Roman quickly interjected. He was certain this Caster had a skill similar to Clairvoyance EX, but shouldn't people with such skills be Riddler? And everyone should know each other, so what's with this guy? "Let's talk about what's going on here. Didn't the original Hassan say that everything must be completed before the Lion King achieves his goal? Let's get back to the point."

"Mr. Roman, it's a big deal. It's so big. How should I put it—"

Jiang You laughed maliciously. Roman's weakness was too obvious.

"--Just like the Magic☆Merry you promoted was actually the magician Merlin's cover."

"is that a lie!"

The coffee in Roman's mouth spurted out, his pupils trembling violently. "This is impossible!"

"So, even though humanity has been destroyed, Magic☆Merry's blog is still being updated. Can't you even be a little suspicious? Or have you connected the internet to another singularity? I suggest Chaldea conduct a thorough investigation into the misappropriation of public funds."

“That bastard!!!!!”

It was a rather angry roar, and it was hard to imagine the usually gentle Dr. Roman making such an expression.

"Doctors at this age still see this?"

Matthew looked at him with disdain. He was clearly the most reliable adult in Chaldea, yet he was still watching that kind of stuff in private. "But Dr. Roman, as interim director, now holds the highest position in Chaldea. Is there really anyone who can control him?"

"Little Chaldea has actually become so corrupt!"

Jiang You made a rather shocked expression, "If this continues, is there any hope for humanity? Damn it, we must summon the Beast to give it a hard punch!"

Wang Ha glanced at Jiang You, but ultimately said nothing.

"Okay, now that the obstacle has been removed, let's continue with the previous topic. Anyway, you just need to know that in the 04 Fuyuki Holy Grail War, the first director of Chaldea, Marisbil Animusphia, won, and the Servant he summoned was--"

Jiang You stretched out his tone and spoke the servant's name word by word.

"——Solomon"

180

Chapter 180: King Solomon will be killed on the spot today.

"!!!"

This was quite explosive news. Every servant except Wang Ha was surprised by the appearance of this name.

"So... this is where it all started, from the Holy Grail War in 2004?"

Gudako was deeply impressed by the first singularity, the burning Fuyuki. It was the beginning of all her adventures. At that time, she knew nothing about magic and began her journey to save the world.

"Yes, after the old director won the victory, it was not him who used the Holy Grail, but his Servant, Solomon."

"!"

Matthew realized the problem. "If Solomon's original intention was to burn away human principles, he could have simply made a wish to the Holy Grail, and none of this would have happened."

"Very clever. Solomon's goal is indeed not to burn away human nature. He just wants to live another life as an ordinary person."

Jiang You looked at Roman. Roman had recovered from the shock of being accused of being a colleague, because now something even more embarrassing had happened.

When Jiang You said this, Roman was already certain that Jiang You knew everything, which made him sweat on his forehead.

"By the way, the Holy Grail is just a block of mana to a certain extent."

Jiang You would explain the function of the Holy Grail to others whenever he had the chance, since there were already a lot of them in Chaldea.

"It's understandable that you're asking it to change its spiritual base, but destroying all of human history is overestimating it."

After hacking the Holy Grail, Jiang You continued the story: "Then the real Solomon became an ordinary young man in his twenties, and spent several wonderful years with the old director... So, who is this young man in his twenties, who is deeply trusted by the old director and holds such an important position? It's really hard to guess~"

"There's a person who fits the situation you're talking about."

Gudako and Matthew turned their gaze towards Roman's projection, practically naming him.

"Don't use such strange words..."

Roman tried to play it off by laughing, his eyes wandering. "It's true that the director and I are old acquaintances, but Solomon and the like..."

"Matthew, do you remember seeing Dr. Roman with a ring on his hand?"

Jiang You would not give Roman a chance to escape. He would defeat the former Magic King, Grand Caster, here today. On a social level.

"Mr. Jiang You, do you even know this?"

What Jiang You knew was so detailed that Matthew subconsciously covered her chest. She had the illusion that she was being watched.

"It's true I saw the doctor wearing a ring, but wasn't it his wedding ring or something like that?"

"That thing is actually one of the Ten Rings of Solomon. If you noticed, the Magic King who appeared in London before (?) only had nine rings on his hand, and the missing one is the one that Dr. Romani has."

Jiang You proved the truth of his words with facts. "The effect of this ring is to return everything of Solomon to God. The specific manifestation is the fight with this fake King Solomon. So, remember to keep an eye on Dr. Roman. This guy is just an oversized Arash, or Joan of Arc?"

"Can clairvoyance really be this detailed?"

Roman really couldn't find a way to refute, because the ring on his hand could easily be identified as a treasure. He was no longer the Magic King and had no ability to hide it. He also didn't have enough time to ask Da Vinci to make a fake one. What's more, he felt that Jiang You was so meticulous that he would definitely be able to find it.

Roman's words have already acknowledged his identity.

"Doctor, are you King Solomon?"

The most surprised person was Matthew, who had grown up with a doctor. She was so surprised that she spoke without thinking.

"So the most powerful Caster Magic King Solomon is someone who likes to watch Magic☆Merry's live broadcasts and often sneaks desserts..."

"Matthew! Please let me go!"

The truth is the sharpest blade. Matthew knew of Roman's many little flaws, and Roman, feeling socially devastated, fell to the ground unable to get up.

"Is this Solomon? He's completely different from what I imagined."

Cursed Wrist rarely expressed his opinion, and it was hard to imagine seeing a confused look on his face through his skull mask.

"Don't judge people through a filter. Even though Solomon was deceived by Merlin.com, heroes from all over the world still have to live their lives."

Jiang You came to Roman's rescue and said that just like Wang Ha was actually a very kind old man under his armor, Wang Ha would even carefully choose a return gift for Tim Ma's lunch box, so he couldn't put on a filter just because of his big name.

"Thank you so much!"

Roman glared at Jiang You with gritted teeth. If he hadn't mentioned Merlin, he would have believed him. He was certain this guy was a Grand Caster. Only these people could have such outrageous vision and such a bad taste. If he had known this would happen, he would have ripped these qualified candidates off the Throne of Heroes and killed them all before making his wish.

"You're welcome."

Jiang You was actually thinking, if he were there, even if Roman and Goetia did explode, it would probably just be a card game. So, if Roman used that card [The time of farewell has come, so I abandon the world], would it explode again? It was just... quite curious. Jiang You decided to give it a try in the second round. He'd still try to get to Happy Ending in the first round without looking at a guide.

"The doctor is the original King Solomon, so who is this guy doing these things now?"

"That's what's going to happen next. You must have heard the story of King Solomon and the 72 Demon Gods, right? So what will happen to them after Solomon abandons his status as the King of Magic? Will they dissipate on the spot?"

Jiang You looked at Roman and felt that King Solomon might be the source of the Tohsaka family's bloodline. This was the biggest and worst failure, which had cost the entire human history.

"Or, because the contract disappeared, did he resurrect from Solomon's corpse?"

"Now that these things have happened, there's no need to guess."

Tawara Tota interrupted Jiang You's question, "Then they must have revived. So they hate Solomon and want revenge on the human race that Solomon protects?"

"You're half right."

After all, Beast is a being full of contradictions. He possesses human evil as well as human love.

"Goetia, the embodiment of the Demon Pillars, truly hates Solomon. His true purpose isn't revenge against humanity, but to restart human history and create a more perfect 'humanity'."

181

Chapter 181: Lancelot's moral integrity is as big as Illya's breasts.

"A more perfect human being?"

Gudako could not have imagined that the mastermind behind this incident had such lofty ambitions.

"Yes, but how to define human beings is up to them. Fujimaru Ritsuka, you don't want the entire history of mankind to be destroyed, do you?"

Speaking of which, Tiamat's idea seems to be similar. Jiang You can't accept that the new thing Tiamat created is a new human being. New humans should go out into the universe and drift around.

"Doesn't that just deny all history? Humanity is still doomed. As one of the seven billionth of humanity, I definitely want to survive."

Regardless of Goetia's original intention, this action is a massacre of all existing humans. Even if Gudako does not have any lofty ideals, she will not allow herself to be killed.

"But why would he do that?"

"That's another matter. If it's too long to tell you all, just ask me when you need it."

This story would go on and on, after all, the second part's plot is even more grandiose, with the disaster reaching a level that only Ultraman can handle. By the time I finish, Altria's Holy Spear will probably be complete. "Anyway, please get through this first, my Master. You haven't even completed one tenth of your journey yet."

Of course, it is not ruled out that the third part will be released immediately after the end of the second part, and Gudako will be trapped in an endless journey of salvation. After all, there is a mobile game with the same map layout as FGO that has successfully released four parts.

"and many more!"

Gudako was startled. She had already solved five singularities, but Jiang You said that she had not even completed one-tenth of them. This was a bit scary for her.

"So the Magic King has prepared forty-five other singularities!?"

"Not really, how did you come up with this?"

Gudako clearly misunderstood Jiang You's meaning. "As long as we resolve the next singularity, it will be the final battle with Goetia. Master, you will accomplish the feat of tearing Goetia apart with your bare hands."

Gudako thought that Jiang You was just exaggerating to show that she could win, but she soon guessed the real reason.

"So, there are other disasters jeopardizing human history?"

Thinking of this, Gudako felt weak. She had tried her best to survive through five singularities, and the journey ahead was so long. Could she really hold on?

"Oh, no?"

Roman suddenly regretted answering the Holy Grail's call. It was too much to handle. It felt like he was even busier after becoming a human. Could he apply for early retirement? He'd already retired once, so now he was considered rehired.

"Bingo, you are worthy of being my Master."

Jiang You had already called the Master over, taking the initiative to bring them closer. "Having saved the world so many times, your status is almost equivalent to that of a 'Messiah'. I look forward to seeing you on the Throne of Heroes."

"me?"

Gudako never dreamed that she would be tied to the chariot of saving the world just because of a blood donation.

"None of this is something I can do. It's the heroic spirits charging forward over and over again that have brought me to this point."

"Don't underestimate yourself. Without you, we wouldn't be able to unite as many heroic spirits as you do."

Jiang You secretly built up his favorability, "Just like me, I came to this singularity for you."

Seeing the topic was beginning to stray, Wang Ha warned, "The Lion King's Noble Phantasm will soon reveal its true form. Time is running out. Servants in Atlas await your visit. Hurry and set off. When you make up your mind, my sword will transform into a bird of prey, piercing that person's eyes. My black robe will transform into night, devouring the holy city."

After saying this, Wang Ha released a powerful aura that pushed everyone out of the temple, not even bothering to go through the process of chopping off the Cursed Arm's head.

"So Mr. Wang Ha has agreed to help us?"

Mash helped Gudako up and wiped the dust off her body. In fact, Wangha was particularly restrained from attacking Gudako, and the other servants were all knocked unconscious.

"Yes, Master Sousa-sama, if we can get to Atlas and find out the truth, you will help us."

Cursed Arm heaved a sigh of relief, for someone's intrusion had seemingly caused the First-Dai to forget about his own affairs. This way, he could offer his head after everything was over, at least without leaving with a sense of resentment. He had no intention of playing dirty in front of the First-Dai, "Although we already know most of the truth now."

"The problem isn't completely solved. You're also aware of the person who said the Lion King's Noble Phantasm will soon return to its true form, right, the unknown Caster?"

Roman got straight to the point.

Everything was almost finished, so Jiang You gave his answer: "You should know about the Tower at the End of the World, the tower standing at the end of the world. If the tower is compared to the mothership, then the gun in the Lion King's hand is the tower's child, with the function of storing human souls. I think the upper limit is about 500. The current name of Camelot is formed by that holy gun."

"So, screening people to enter the city is actually selecting 500 noble souls?"

Matthew thought of the problem. "The Lion King wants to protect people this way? But there are only 500 people..."

"Rather than protecting 500 people, it's more about preserving them as a testament to humanity's past. The Holy Lance can only preserve souls, not life itself. Furthermore, the tower itself was erected at the end of the world. Once completed, this singularity will become the end of the world, and all life will cease to exist."

While loving humans, she also kills humans who are not chosen by her. The Lion King Altria is just one step away from becoming a Beast.
