Destroy It All, I'm Tired

Seeing that the guy seemed a bit lost in thought, Morax even gave him a special reminder.

"Oh, that? I gave it to Flauros. He told me he could keep it, so I gave it to him. I've been fighting Goetia ever since."

Barbatos suddenly remembered and then answered.

However, when Flauros was mentioned, his expression suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is Flauros? I haven't seen him for two days!"

The seventy Demon God Pillars exchanged glances and asked each other if they had seen Lev.

"..."

The scene immediately fell silent.

"--not good!!"

At this moment, overwhelmed by the joy of the king's return and blinded by their merit in following the dragon, they seemed to understand everything. They cried out in astonishment, trying to contact Lev using the newly established group chat by the Demon God Pillars Hashirama, but...

[Demon God Pillars Flauros has left the group chat.]

The seventy-one demons roared in unison, their most ferocious fury of all time. "How dare you, you insolent brat!!!"

The roars of pain and rage echoed throughout the Temple of Time, startling even Goetia, who had just become a lone wolf.

What's wrong with these guys now?

The main gate of Uruk.

Having obtained Ten Rings, Rovey was carefully experiencing the changes at that moment.

First, there's the resonance of the Temple of Time, then there's immortality, the 72 Demons, the miracle of the Ten Rings, and even greater power.

Everything is now complete, and we are finally one step closer to our goal.

At this moment, after completing the synchronization, Rovey was surprised to find that his body and Solomon's power did not have any rejection reaction. He could easily control all of Solomon's records, even his Noble Phantasm. The most famous of these was naturally the Temple of Time.

"Reality Marble..."

Looking back over this long period, the path he's taken has been numerous and varied, and he's still chosen a religious system, which is why he hasn't been able to complete the creation of Reality Marble a single mechanism. Although he doesn't particularly pursue Reality Marble —Reality Marble after all, having one isn't necessarily better than not having one; he could easily shatter ordinary Reality Marbles like Unlimited Reality Marble Unlimited Blade Works with a single slap—as Magus, he certainly still wants one.

After all, it's quite convenient and cool to unleash a domain with a simple command. He just hadn't expected his own Reality Marble to be this— the Temple of Time.

Lev really helped a lot this time. This Noble Phantasm is much more powerful than Unlimited Blade Works or Ionian Hetairoi. Even if King Gilgamesh went in with Ea today, he would still get a few slaps before being carried out.

Not only did he obtain Solomon's record, but he also possessed the Temple of Time. He was now incredibly powerful! Moreover, he inexplicably felt refreshed, a feeling similar to when Kars stood up with his back to the sun.

"Really? I remember the Ten Commandments are Solomon's exclusive equipment, right? If anyone else wears them, they'll be punished by the gods... Well, I'm overthinking it."

Seeing Rovey become the ultimate being, Merlin was about to remind him of the drawbacks of the Ten Commandments, but considering Lovi's status, he obediently kept quiet. Anyone else wearing the Ten Commandments would definitely cause trouble, but if it were him, there would be absolutely no problem.

"Hmph, Nightmare, are your eyes just for show? Merlin, you Nightmare's just like Romani Archaman, reeking of otaku, can't you see the truth even now? A king is a king. Even if his appearance has changed, his inner self is still that of a great king. In that case, how could reclaiming the Ten Commandments possibly incur divine retribution?"

Merlin had had enough. He now vaguely understood why Roman felt so annoyed by this group of blind men. These guys all seemed to have some kind of serious illness or blindness. He really wanted to laugh out loud, but considering that if he laughed now, Lev would beat him up, he could only hold back for now.

"Thank you for your hard work, Flauros..."

This unexpected gain left Rovey somewhat bewildered, but feeling Lev's expectant gaze, he decided to see it through to the end. Since he was seeking excitement, he might as well go all the way!

So he looked at Lev with feigned pity, then raised his hand, which was covered in gold rings, and gestured slightly to him before speaking to comfort him, "You truly are my most capable Demon God Pillars. Don't worry, I won't forget your contribution this time."

Let's make a big promise first.

"Oh, not at all...! It is my honor to serve the King!!"

Upon hearing the king's thanks, Lev was so moved that he immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.

"I'm sorry, Flauros, I have nothing to reward you with right now. And because this is my second life, I will definitely be very different from the person you remember. Also, the way things have turned out is all my fault..."

Seeing Lev kneeling down, Rovey originally planned to do what he did with Goetia: apologize first, and then use the fact of reincarnation to leave some room for his own changes.

Solomon was originally just a tool; he couldn't really play the role of someone with a blank expression.

"That's not true! It's all Goetia's fault!"

However, it must be said that Lev was indeed a good employee. He interrupted Rovey's apology and said excitedly, "The King is not wrong. The King is always the King. All the mistakes are Goetia's fault!!"

If Goetia were here, he would definitely kill this traitor on the spot.

"..."

Rovey smiled slightly and did not answer. He then personally helped Lev to his feet, which pleased Rafe immensely. At the same time, this completely won Lev's loyalty, making him feel fortunate for his wisdom.

As expected, I am the Demon God Pillars most valued by the King! Goetia is nothing but a weakling!!

Now it's all settled, everything's settled!!

Having already gained the King's approval and reward, once the Seventh Singularity is resolved and he returns to the Temple of Time, he can point his finger at Goetia and berate him.

Just thinking about that scene made Lev unable to contain his excitement.

But at the same time, thinking of his compatriots who were still fighting to the death in Goetia, he felt a vague sense of self-reproach.

I'm so sorry, Barbatos, Morax, Baal...

I really want to share this joy and glory with you all, but there's only one spot available, and I, I really want to improve so much!!

"... Flauros, I have a question for you."

Just as Lev was lost in his daydream, Rovey looked at him and slowly said, "Can you answer me?"

"Please speak! I will answer everything I know!" Lev nodded without hesitation.

"That's good."

"Tell me, among the Demon God Pillars, how many loyal subjects are there besides you?"

After a moment 'Rovey, Lowe asked the question he most wanted to know.

Before meeting the mysterious and extraordinary man, Lev, he never imagined that there would be internal strife among the Demon God Pillars, and that they would be able to send over Goetia's biggest trump card.

So he thought... there are still a few traitors like Lev, no, I should say there are still a few ambitious people left. Is it possible to start a civil war among the Demon God Pillars?

"Well, actually..."

When Lev heard Rovey ask this question, he paused for a moment, pondered, and began to consider how to answer in a way that would let the king know that he was the most loyal one.

Just as Lev was about to answer, he suddenly froze, then felt a pang of fear. He then realized that the Holy Grail he was carrying, which he planned to offer to the king later, was suddenly emitting terrifying magical power and then flew uncontrollably into the air. Lev immediately realized something was wrong and hurriedly grabbed the Holy Grail, throwing it directly to Ibaraki-dōji. Ibaraki-dōji, of course, wasn't stupid.

While demons enjoy plundering wealth, that's only if they can survive. Having experienced what happened with Lev, she immediately realized there was something wrong with the Holy Grail, so she didn't hesitate to reach out and toss Holy Grail to the next person. But at that moment, instead of Black Mud emerging from the Holy Grail, countless octopus-like tentacles appeared, gripping Ibaraki-dōji's arm tightly.

"What is this?!"

Ibaraki-dōji screamed in pain, trying to pry the tentacles apart, but found them to be surprisingly hard, no matter how hard she tried.

"Oh dear, this situation looks extremely bad, doesn't it? It's like the prelude to the sudden appearance of the final boss in a game."

Merlin immediately hid behind Rovey, using him as a shield. However, because he took the spot, he was immediately kicked away by Merry with a flying kick. Mary then looked at Merlin with disgust, as if to say, "Is this your spot? How dare you take it?!"

She then hugged him and smiled, saying, "Protect me, darling~"

What wonderful tea...

However, we can't worry about that right now.

Gradually, the tentacles emerging from the Holy Grail engulfed Ibaraki-dōji, forcibly embedding him into his Ibaraki-dōji. Not only that, but Ibaraki-dōji himself was also completely swallowed by countless octopus tentacles, transforming into a colossal creature—or rather, a purple Demon God Pillars.

—The Demon God Pillars Barbatos appears!

The enormous pillar of flesh appeared and immediately pointed at Flauros below, then roared angrily, "Flauros! You bastard, how dare you betray us!!"

A loud sound immediately echoed throughout Uruk, reaching even Gilgamesh was far away in the palace.

"That good-for-nothing Merlin still hasn't sent them out?"

He frowned on his throne, dropped the clay tablet, and went out of the palace to check the situation.

However, when he walked out of the palace and saw two enormous fleshy pillars rising from the ground in Uruk fighting each other, his heart felt like it was going to stop.

"Damn it! If you want to fight, then get out of here and fight! Damn Demon God Pillars—!!"

Chapter 239 Destroy it, I'm tired.

"Incineration Formula Barbatos".

"Incineration Formula - Flauros".

Sometimes, some things, some situations can truly be described as something you only see once in your life.

Indeed, if a person lives long enough, they are likely to witness any kind of shocking scene, and the current situation proves this to be true.

Before witnessing it firsthand, probably no one would believe that the Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars, all belonging to Solomon, were actually fighting at the gates of Uruk, and not just playing around. They appeared and immediately engaged in a fierce battle, their eyes radiating terrifying rays capable of incinerating everything. This scene didn't seem like something out of Type-Moon movie; it was more suited to Ultraman set.

Ushiwakamaru, who had just heard from the messenger at the front that monsters had appeared in the city, and had rushed over with Benkei, was stunned to see the two Demon God Pillars spraying lasers at each other.

"What, what on earth is going on? Why are Demon God Pillars suddenly appearing in Uruk! And it looks like they're fighting amongst themselves!"

Ushiwakamaru landed on the rooftop, staring at the apocalyptic scene, too astonished to speak. Unfortunately, the only person beside her was the rather dull-witted Benkei, who could only utter, "I don't know either," so naturally, no one could answer her question.

However, the power of these two Demon God Pillars is simply terrifying. The heat contained in each beam of light they unleash is comparable to an A-rank Noble Phantasm. While not on par with gods, they are certainly beyond the capabilities of ordinary Servant. Coupled with their unrestrained laser barrage, the entire Uruk would likely be torn apart in no time...

"Huh? How come the floor tiles weren't broken?"

Ushiwakamaru glanced at the intact surroundings and noticed that although the lasers emitted by the two Demon God Pillars were terrifying, when they struck the ground and the city gates, the terrifyingly hot rays did not even damage the floor tiles of Uruk, or even leave a scratch, let alone cause any irreparable damage. This surprised her even more.

"Masaka..." Ushiwakamaru couldn't help but ask Benkei beside him, "Is this just my imagination? What do you think?"

Benkei: "My lord, I'll stand and watch."

Ushiwakamaru: "..."

Upon receiving yet another dull response, Ushiwakamaru completely lost faith in the guy. As expected, the great monk was as unreliable as ever.

However, feeling the heat coming towards her, and seeing the bloodthirsty Uruk people who had come out to watch the battle of the Demon God Pillars after the two giants had been fighting for so long without even breaking the floor tiles, she suddenly felt a headache coming on.

As expected, people in the early Age of Gods were much more generous and courageous than those in their own time...

In normal times, when these two big guys appeared, all the residents should have run away. Why would they come out to watch and cheer like this?

It seems everyone is really feeling stifled by the oppressive environment...

However, Ushiwakamaru understood the terror of these two Demon God Pillars better than they did, so her first thought was how to get rid of them and absolutely not let them continue to run rampant.

"Hey, Merry, what do you think is the best way to deal with these two idiots right now?"

"Of course we're just watching! Didn't you cast Magecraft on the whole of Uruk? Anyway, these two guys can't break through the floor tiles no matter how hard they fight. As long as they don't get close, there won't be any danger. Isn't it fun for everyone to watch the fight together here?"

Merry winked at Rovey, then pointed to the Uruk people who had begun to gather and cheer outside the cordon she had set up, her eyes full of amusement.

Merlin wholeheartedly agreed. While fighting itself wasn't much to watch, a fight between the Demon God Pillars was a different story. The fact that these two of Solomon's most trusted subordinates were actually fighting over who was more loyal in order to curry favor with Rovey was amusing in itself.

Honestly, rather than watching the Demon God Pillars fight each other, he'd rather see what Romani's expression would be when he found out.

So...

As a top-notch online streamer, how could Merlin possibly miss such great material? He had to start recording immediately and then send this once-in-a-century scene to Roman in Chaldea so they could watch together!

So, after he, like a comedic character, successfully uploaded footage to True Magic Merry's blog using a camera that appeared out of nowhere, he continued to cheer on Barbatos from the sidelines.

"Master, please think of a solution quickly. I really can't stand these idiots anymore."

Anna, the only normal person present, had her expression slightly distorted as she watched this scene.

Before setting off, she heard that the opponents this time were not only Gorgon, but also Tiamat, as well as the Demon God King and the Demon God Pillars. Her heart became very heavy, and she also became worried about the upcoming battle for Rovey others.

After all, she and Gorgon were destined to perish together. After eliminating Gorgon, the other opponents would have to be dealt with by Rovey Merlin, and Merry, those two unreliable individuals. To reiterate, although she dislikes humans, Rovey is someone who rarely treats her well, and they have formed a temporary contract, making them barely teammates, so it's normal for him to show some concern.

Anna had already made up her mind to work even harder to find him some more reliable and capable teammates.

But how could the adventure, which was supposed to be full of hardships, turn into this before even stepping out the door? This extremely abstract development made her feel that everyone's style had suddenly changed, as if everyone had been led astray by Merry.

Anna, being the most proper of them all, simply couldn't stand it anymore, especially when she turned around and saw Gilgamesh in the palace, being dragged along by Siduri, wielding two battle axes, eager to rush out and chop down all the Demon God Pillars.

"Those two damned Demon God Pillars! If you want to fight, then get out of here and fight them! Go fight Ishtar!"

He roared angrily, but Flauros and Barbatos, caught up in the fight, ignored him and continued their battle.

"You lowly monstrous cultivators, you've gone too far!!"

Forced to work overtime and being ignored combined, Gilgamesh couldn't take it anymore.

"—May they all die under my double axes!!"

Siduri couldn't stop Gilgamesh, so Uruk's Axe King joined the battle, ready to kill both of the Demon God Pillars that had made him work overtime.
