The Magic King, Solomon

"Something's coming! And its coverage area is much larger than we thought! Be careful!!"

Artoria hurriedly reminded her, and then, as soon as her voice fell, the entire world was swept by a golden light centered on the palace not far away, followed by a cold starlight that swept across the entire world.

"What... what's going on?! Is the Lion King's Holy Lance fully ready?!"

Bedivere shouted anxiously.

"No, not yet..."

Rovey gazed at the palace in front of him, with a pure white beam of light slowly spreading out from it. At the same time, around the castle, a golden barrier was also linked together to form a ring, perfectly isolating the palace within the golden screen.

"Rather than saying she's ready... it's more accurate to say that the Lion King has activated the power of the [Tower of the End]. It seems she's planning to retreat completely..."

Having completed his connection with the entire world, Rovey Wei could clearly sense the special premonition of the Tower of the End activating.

The entire boundary of the Sixth Singularity is currently being burned and transformed into magic by the power of the Holy Lance. If we don't stop that guy quickly, this Singularity will be completely reduced to nothingness the moment it is activated.

"We must stop it quickly... It's absorbing the planet's magic and preparing for its departure."

Rovey touched the barrier of light with his palm and began to mutter to himself, "Now we need to find a way to break this thing."

"Oops!"

Just as Lovi was Rovey, suddenly, Artoria, who was trying to force her way through, was bounced back by the light barrier, feeling dizzy.

"Is it really that hard?"

"Why would you think of crashing into it with your body? This barrier is probably something like the outer shell of the Holy Lance; it's very difficult to break through with just Noble Phantasm and your physical body."

While rubbing Artoria's head, Rovey spoke.

"The outer shell of the Holy Lance, is it? They've even brought out something like this. It seems that my other self has been completely driven to the brink. Do they really not want to face us?"

As for the [Holy Lance], we also possess that.

It's uncertain who will shatter first when the Holy Lance clashes with the Holy Lance.

Boom!!

With that thought in mind, Artoria raised her Holy Lance and thrust it fiercely into the golden barrier. However, the golden shell did not shatter upon impact with the Holy Lance. Instead, many golden fragments fell off after the spear pierced through it, and its smooth surface now appeared quite pitted and uneven.

"Huh?! It's like this again? Is it because I didn't put in enough effort?" Artoria was a little annoyed.

While the Holy Lance could shatter the Holy Lance, it ultimately depends on the strength of the attack. Artoria's own magical power and authority were far inferior to those of the Lion King, who was a goddess, so she was unable to break through the barrier in one strike.

However, it is not impossible to forcefully break through the barrier with the Holy Lance, but in practice it is more like using a screwdriver to poke a big block of ice. No one knows how long it will take to open up a path.

"Damn it, I'll try using my Noble Phantasm... What are you doing, Rovey?"

Just as Artoria was about to smash it open, Rovey walked up to the light barrier and aimed the Lance of Longinus at its center.

"Next, I will detonate the Holy Lance in my hand and blast open this light barrier directly—although doing so may be somewhat disrespectful to the Lance of Longinus, it should be the simplest solution at present."

Stroking the Holy Lance in his hand, Rovey felt somewhat helpless; this was all he could do at this moment.

"I'm sorry, but I'll sacrifice myself for the greater good."

The Lance of Longinus: 'You are aloof, you are remarkable.'

(TT)

If anything could shatter the outer shell of the Holy Lance, it must be another Holy Lance. Artoria refused the Holy Lance because she couldn't become a goddess, thus preventing her from unleashing its full power. But I don't have that limitation, so...

"Wait a minute, Rovey, you're the key to this plan. If you don't have the Holy Lance with you, how will you..."

Artoria hurriedly stopped her, saying that even if it were to be detonated, it should be the weapon in her hand that should be detonated; right now, Rovey needed a weapon more than she did.

"There's no other way. This barrier is the law of magic and the Holy Lance, and it's imbued with a high level of divinity. There shouldn't be any power in the entire Singularity that matches it, unless..."

"——Ko no Dio!!"

"???"

"Huhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha-!!"

Suddenly, an incredibly exciting sound came from all around them. At the same time, the Sand Sphinx, which had been missing on the battlefield for a long time, suddenly ran out, and that incredibly familiar voice came from its body.

"Ozymandias!"

Rovey hurriedly called out the other person's name.

"That's right, it's me! My dear friend, I foresaw that you would encounter such trouble, so I had already prepared to clear the way for you!"

As the voice faded, the pyramid high above the desert activated its super transformation, and a massive electric sphere, which had been brewing for some time, condensed at its tip.

"A mere goddess, instead of fighting the mastermind behind it all, turns her own people into specimens and even wants to sacrifice the entire world. As a king, she's a full two thousand years behind me!! Take this! This is my last bit of help! 500km range, Dendra! Giant electric ball! Full power—Wryyyy!!"

Rameses II's voice was transmitted remotely through his pet, and then a huge ball of electricity, far away in the desert, crossed the desert and the battlefield, and suddenly shot into the Lion King's Holy Lance Barrier.

In an instant, the massive burst of magical energy caused the entire barrier to shake violently.

"Go! My dearest friend! I still have my own enemies to deal with, and I can't help you anymore! Go forward bravely, and don't let me down, hahahahaha—!!"

"Hakio, you've really been a big help this time!"

Hearing Ozymandias's voice disappear, Rovey nodded gratefully and raised the Holy Lance in his hand once more.

"Ozymandias's help is limited and cannot completely break through the barrier. Al, let's launch an attack together now!"

"Good!"

The two Holy Lance were raised simultaneously, and then the silver light of the Holy Lance and the golden light of the stars began to shine in harmony.

They then exchanged a smile and slammed their Holy Lance into a point on the barrier.

"—Lion King, now, we've come to find you!!"

Snap!

The combined power of the two lights pierced through the golden barrier in front of them.

In an instant, like shattered glass, golden fragments scattered throughout the city, and the Lion King completely lost all means of interception.

Next, all that's left is probably to enter the Boss room.

Inside the pyramid on the other side.

Having done the last bit of help he could, Ozymandias turned his thoughts back to the present.

At this moment, his opponent had also entered the pyramid and was heading this way. Arash, who was nearby, saw the opponent's position with his Clairvoyance and was on high alert.

He also began to use the magic of the Holy Grail to fill the pyramid's magical power to another limit, preparing to face this tough battle.

Meanwhile, Nitocris, having finished dealing with the other battlefield, was also observing the situation inside the Mirror of the Mirror Grimoire on another battlefield.

In this Singularity, Ozymandias's battle is just as important as the Lion King's campaign in Camelot. It is very likely the Sun King's final battle in this Singularity, and it may also be the final turning point.

If Ozymandias and Arash can truly eliminate the mastermind behind the Humanity Incineration, then this crisis will be completely resolved, and he will rush to Camelot to assist Rovey in defeating the Lion King and bringing everything to a close; if Ozymandias and Arash perish together, then the task of fighting the mastermind behind the Humanity Incineration will fall on their shoulders.

But no matter the outcome, someone has to confront the mastermind behind the Humanity Incineration, otherwise Rovey and his group will face a double attack from the Lion King and the Magic King.

And this person must be one of the most powerful individuals in this Singularity besides Rovey, who will deal with him.

Gradually, images appeared in the Mirror Grimoire. The great Persian hero Arash gently drew his bow and aimed at the entrance before him, while Ozymandias, who had been waiting for a long time, remained seated on his throne, his posture still exuding arrogance.

Looking at Rameses II's familiar figure, Nitocris clenched her fists and silently prayed to the god Anubis for him.

Only--

Anubis: "Are you really serious about praying to me? Women in love really don't think straight."

Keep it up, Sun King playing on the grave mound...

Chapter 217 Magic King Solomon

Jerusalem, the Holy City.

No, this place should have already become the Holy City of Camelot.

As he felt the Holy Lance Barrier shatter, the Lion King, sitting in the palace and preparing to set sail for the ends of the world, slowly opened his azure eyes.

This time, however, she didn't look at the spot that was so close to her, nor did she pay attention to the enemy who was getting infinitely closer to her. Instead, she looked at a more distant place.

The Sun King —a battle that will determine the fate of the Humanity Incineration is about to erupt, and he will directly confront the mastermind behind the Humanity Incineration.

Before his own decisive battle officially began, the Lion King wanted to witness the final outcome of that battle with his own eyes.

As for why the Lion King, though far away in the Holy City Palace, could directly perceive the situation in the Sun King's territory, it was because, in this final moment, the Lion King had completely transformed into a divine being, not one of those powerless but weak goddesses, but a true and extremely powerful supreme goddess. Seeing events happening thousands of miles away was effortless for her.

Even though she doesn't have Clairvoyance, she can see any place that has been touched by the light of the Holy Lance, so even the pyramids in the desert are no exception.

"Child of God, Magic King, Sun King..."

"It's all over now. No matter how this battle ends, no one can stop my plan. The launch of the Tower of the End is a foregone conclusion, and this final battle will only delay things by a negligible amount of time. I had planned to have a few more months, but now it seems unnecessary. This world has no future..."

The Lion King murmured softly, his eyes sparkling with starlight as he gazed into the distance, looking at the battlefield thousands of miles away.

It was a lonely city, standing alone in the desert.

A surge of magical power covered the desert. A white-haired figure dressed in bright and gorgeous clothes strolled through the temple. Several terrifyingly large fleshy pillars rose from the desert and tightly surrounded the temple.

"Sun, let me see what your final fate will be?"

The blazing demonic fire raged unrestrained, countless aurora borealis burned across the entire desert, and several fleshy pillars covered with densely packed scarlet eyes began to relentlessly sweep across the cluster of positions where the Great Temple of Radiance was located. The intense heat sent shivers down everyone's spines.

Even more terrifying, the buildings near the Grand Temple, as well as the entire surrounding desert, were melted into liquid by the scorching heat and gradually disappeared into the desert.

As the master of the Grand Temple, Ozymandias was fully aware of everything that was happening outside.

Not only that, he could also sense Nitocris's [Mirror Grimoire], the Lion King, and several other Clairvoyance eyes looking in this direction, all observing the situation.

Whether one exists in this world or not, at this moment, we are all at a crucial turning point in this focus on the Humanity Incineration.

"Very good. Queen of the Underworld, Goddess of Storms, and the Magus from beyond the world, or the King of Heroes next Singularity. That's it. Use your eyes to carefully observe the situation here, and record everything meticulously. If I fail, then this will be the foundation for your success."

Ozymandias spoke these words to the bystanders who were neither here nor able to offer him any help, his face still showing no fear.

Since he decided to confront the mastermind Humanity Incineration, King Solomon, the Magic King, he had never said a word, but Ozymandias had to admit that the person who launched the Humanity Incineration possessed terrifying power.

Especially considering the energy it has accumulated, the Holy Grail, which was poured into seven Singularity, is like a drop in the ocean compared to the amount of magic accumulated by the Magic King through burning through human history. The magical power it possesses is even more terrifying than that of the highest gods. Moreover, the [Grand Rank] Spirit Origin it holds is vastly different in quality from the ordinary Spirit Origin it currently uses. The difference in basic performance is so great that Rameses II fully felt the absolute gap between the two when facing King Hassan.

"Hmph, first it was the [Grand Assassin], and now it's the [Grand Caster]. The opponents I've chosen are indeed extraordinary..." At this point, Rameses II chuckled self-deprecatingly, while inwardly cursing the entire family of the world's Counter Force.

Since this Singularity is so chaotic, with each opponent being more powerful than the last, and since he was summoned here in the hope that he would resolve everything, why not give him a sufficiently powerful [Grand Rank Rider] special Spirit Origin?

If he were also Grand Servant, and with the magical power provided by the Holy Grail, he could have easily restored the glory of Ra to this land. Why let things fall into such a state?

"Incompetent fools, it's truly unfortunate that this world has been saddled with those two damned Counter Force..."

Rameses II pondered to himself, for as a king, he would certainly not give those two useless people any face at this moment.

Similarly, outside the Great Temple of Radiance, the positions he had set up in advance were gradually dismantled by the Demon God Pillars under the command of the Magic King Solomon using the Incineration Formula, and their final battle was about to begin.

"Solemn defense, huh? That's interesting, but unfortunately, such a trick of the gods of the past is ultimately no match for our advance."

Looking at the pyramid fortress, which had been largely destroyed, yet still standing unaffected on the ground, Goetia's face showed a hint of interest. Moreover, when he saw that Camelot, despite clearly sensing his approach, still used most of his magic to shoot at him, he smiled with pleasure.

"To still be distracted by providing support at a time like this... Sun King, Ozymandias, your name is something I should remember."

Although Goetia felt that human history was worthless and its stories were fragile, he still respected certain figures in this history, just as there are still a few bright stars in the night.

This has nothing to do with power, status, or faith; it is simply the dazzling light shining in their souls that deserves his praise.

Among the people he mentioned, Ozymandias, who was clearly drawn here by the aura of the Holy Grail and was still willing to support his subordinates and friends even when facing himself, was one of them.

In Goetia's eyes, he was far more interesting than the false god on the throne of Camelot who had long forgotten everything. So, during the lull after the launch of the giant electric sphere, Goetia did not forcibly destroy the outer shell of the pyramid, but waited for him to recover for a few minutes and adjust his condition before entering it.

Although this behavior seemed somewhat absurd to Barbatos, Goetia felt it was a sign of respect for a proud soul.

Even though he was disappointed with the human race as a whole, he was still tolerant of the exceptional individuals born from that race.

Moreover, defeating him head-on would make those in other worlds realize more deeply the unstoppable Humanity Incineration.

This was the confidence of an absolute powerhouse, or rather, Goetia had never taken any being in this Singularity seriously from the beginning. This included the goddess Lion King and the unseen Grand Assassin. His only hope now was to find Solomon and question him face to face.

Why did you leave back then? And why did you stand by and watch when you had the ability to change everything? And do you feel proud of what we are doing now? These are questions that have troubled them for countless years.

"How arrogant..."
