Let's Wrestle
"Then let's get ready to begin, Goetia."
Rovey smiled and said, looking at Goetia had a somewhat puzzled expression.
Chapter 310 Let's Wrestle!
"What are they trying to do?"
In the very center of a newly drawn circle, Goetia, whose feelings were already complicated, looked at the simple circles around her, then glanced at the figure standing in front of her, and asked with some confusion.
But Rovey didn't answer his question. Instead, he continued walking briskly around the circle, as if checking whether the newly drawn circle met his expectations.
"Hmm, that should be about right."
He clapped his hands and spoke to himself, then looked back at Goetia.
"What are we supposed to do? To fulfill our promise, of course! Let's have a match, Goetia."
"What?"
Although the answer was given, Goetia was even more confused.
Seeing this, Rovey simply smiled and asked, "So, have you ever played wrestling, Goetia?"
"The conditions are simple: you can't use any force that's unfair to each other, and there's only one rule: throw me out of the ring. If you can do that, then I'll tell you everything."
After briefly explaining the rules, Rovey pointed a finger at Goetia and said, "So? Do you have the guts to accept the challenge?"
However, Goetia found the challenge he posed and the rules he uttered rather than amusing; on the contrary, she thought his behavior was a bit too childish.
"Are you a child? Using such a childish method to compete, you're really..."
"What is 'really'? Is it really 'absolutely' unreasonable?"
Before the other person could finish speaking, Rovey interrupted him, "Do you think there's anything wrong with the duel method I proposed?"
Do you really think this is a good thing?
Suppressing his dissatisfaction, Goetia said in a sinister tone, "I won't accept this childish way of resolving our issues."
"Oh, that's why. I see, I see... I understand now."
Hearing Goetia's words, Rovey nodded thoughtfully, then took a few steps back, walked to his side, and asked again, "So what do you think is the best approach? Does it have to be a fight to the death? Or should it be a bloody battle?"
As he spoke, he raised his palm, Ten Rings Gilgamesh in his hand. The next moment, the Greater Light Wheel above the Throne Room seemed to sense some kind of summons and burst out with even stronger light, transforming into a golden sun phantom that flew out and finally landed on Rovey's back. The terrifying heat made Goetia take a few steps back.
"Is that so?"
Rovey raised his finger and aimed at Goetia. The next moment, a terrifying golden light roared out from his fingertip, forcing Goetia to dodge into the air. The golden light pierced through the ground like a sharp sword, leaving a deep trench in the ground behind, with white smoke rising from above.
"..."
Seeing this, Goetia remained silent, only able to grit her teeth and say, "That's the heat I collected... and you actually used that against me."
"Are you referring to calories?"
Rovey shook his head, then raised his palm and conjured another miniature sun, handing it to Goetia. He asked, "Then why don't you take it back, Goetia? Try calling it and see if this power responds to you."
"You...!"
Upon hearing this, Goetia was slightly taken aback, but then immediately understood what Rovey meant.
He has now regained control of the Ten Commandments and the Temple of Time. Everything here is under his control. If it comes to a direct confrontation, he will be using the Humanity Incineration Energy he has painstakingly collected to beat him up.
Having understood everything, Goetia cursed Flauros, the traitor who secretly gave away the ring, hundreds of times in her mind, but still suppressed her anger and looked at the person in front of her, speaking coldly.
"He's just a petty thief, what are you so smug about? Are you trying to use my power against me? Incompetent king, even if you defeat me with this, I will not acknowledge you."
"You say this is your power?"
Hearing his words, Rovey raised an eyebrow and asked in return.
"Isn't it? This is the power I painstakingly collected, meant to change the world..."
"Have you ever thought about how you actually collected them?"
"--?!"
"Using the Temple of Time as a reference point, and then sending the Demon God Pillars to different eras, isn't everything you've used also Solomon's power? Without Solomon's power, and with the assistance of the Demon God Pillars, do you think you could have completed such a massive project Humanity Incineration by yourself? Or to put it more bluntly, without the Human Order Correction Ritual, without Solomon's remains, do you think you could have been born?"
Rovey raised his palm and asked, word by word, "Do you still feel that you haven't relied on any power?"
"..."
This time, it was Goetia's turn to be speechless.
Indeed, what Rovey said was absolutely correct. Everything he had came from Solomon, even the energy he accumulated was achieved through Solomon's power.
Without the 72 Demons and the Temple of Time, he lost his immortality.
Without the Ten Commandments, he would not be able to fully control the heat within the Greater Light Wheel.
It could be said that he was the one who relied on external forces.
Even his current body was created from Solomon's remains.
He had no rebuttal to what the other person said.
After careful consideration, he looked back at the person in front of him, then at the circle around him, nodded silently, and said.
"Okay, I understand. I accept this proposal. Now, let's discuss how to achieve fairness."
Upon hearing Goetia's words, Rovey knew that he had accepted his proposal.
Then, in front of Goetia, he removed his rings one by one and threw them on the ground at his feet.
The next moment, the Light Wheel behind them vanished.
Control was back in Goetia's hands. Seeing Rovey do this, Goetia's eyes widened slightly; he hadn't expected Rovey to dare to do such a thing.
Without the control of the Ten Commandments, the Temple of Time will not dissipate, but will transfer control to the next person, namely the one who possesses Solomon's remains. He can now control the Greater Light Wheel again, and can be said to have an absolute advantage.
He simply couldn't understand why the other party would dare to do such a thing.
Goetia wanted to ask, but the same smiling face answered him. At that moment, Goetia understood what the other person was thinking.
Is it fair...?
And more than anything, it's about trust.
What a naive idea! Does this incompetent king still cling to such absurd thoughts?
Goetia was puzzled by this decision to abandon his advantage in pursuit of fairness.
He could now wipe everything out with a mere wave of his hand using the Human Order Cannon, and he could end the king before him with a simple gesture, then imprison him and forcibly take him to the new world he so desired, but...
"..."
Goetia fell silent, and slowly lowered his hands.
Because he knew that if he did that, he would probably never be able to convince himself again for the rest of his life.
Although he still yearns for a new world, he now has something he yearns for even more—if he had to describe it, it would be the desire to prove himself and the longing for answers.
Now, he wants to get that answer, to get it honestly and fairly.
Having thought this through, Goetia closed her eyes, then nodded gently and said, "I understand."
After saying that, he took a step and walked into the circle drawn in front of him, looking directly into Rovey's eyes.
Then, golden light appeared on his body, and the original enormous demonic form disappeared rapidly, quickly transforming into a familiar white-haired, black-skinned figure with deep eyes. That was Solomon's remains, the Spirit Origin form of the Grand Caster.
Seeing this, Rovey asked, "Are you going to fight me in this form, Goetia?"
"No, since you have relinquished the power and name of Solomon, I will naturally not use your power to fight you. I will defeat you honorably and show you what my answer truly is."
Goetia, having regained his Solomon form, shook his head. Then, his body trembled slightly, and a golden light flew out from Solomon's body, condensing into a figure at the forefront. This figure, though identical in appearance to Solomon, had long golden hair and its body was constantly dissipating. This was Goetia's true form.
It is neither Heroic Spirit nor Evils of Humanity, but simply the true form of the Goetia.
Looking at Rovey in front of him, Goetia raised his hand and said, "Now I don't owe you anything anymore. Only then can it be considered truly fair."
Goetia's figure dissipated, and Solomon's body fell to the ground behind him, sleeping peacefully. At that moment, the Ten Rings seemed to have found some guidance and returned to his fingers.
However, neither of the two people present seemed to care about what was happening.
Now they have all broken free from everything Solomon has to do, and stand here simply as themselves, beginning a true battle of their own with each other.
One person abandoned Solomon's ring and Noble Phantasm, while the other abandoned Solomon's remains and his immortality as a form of Evils of Humanity.
Even so, neither of them felt weakened in any way. On the contrary, they both felt incredibly powerful at this moment, especially Goetia. After being in a daze for so long, he felt his thoughts were clearer for the first time. Even without his Clairvoyance, he felt he could see even more clearly.
Just then, Goetia spoke again, this time staring into Rovey's eyes and saying in an extremely serious tone, "Are you really Solomon?"
"I can be, and I can not be. I'll tell you once you win, okay?"
In response, Rovey replied as follows.
"Good."
Having received this answer, Goetia nodded. "Then let me win everything in the end."
"Very good, very energetic, let's begin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Rovey touched the ground with his toes and leaped towards Goetia. Goetia, who had abandoned everything from Solomon, also showed weakness this time, clenching his fists and accelerating towards Rovey.
This time, he wouldn't hold back just because the other party might be Solomon, nor would he be swayed by his own feelings. He took a step forward, and his body rushed towards Rovey like a golden lightning bolt. His speed was so fast that it was like a flash, traversing space and appearing in front of Rovey. Then, his strong golden arm slammed directly towards Rovey's face like a meteor.
"Reflect now, you incompetent king! Let me see what kind of world you speak of!"
Goetia roared, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.
--
On the other side.
"The king's aura has vanished!"
Lev, who was fiercely arguing with Rameses II, suddenly froze. The next moment, even his movements stopped. His anger dissipated, and all that remained in his eyes was confusion and helplessness.
"Die, Demon God Pillars!!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rameses II hurled the pyramid directly at Lev, then stood atop the pyramid and began to laugh wildly.
"--Hahahaha, the victor is indeed my great Sun King! I'm so excited!"
Of course, Lev, who was crushed to death, wouldn't just suddenly die so easily. Instead, he revived on the spot. Seeing this, Rameses II was about to continue eliminating him, but Lev ignored him this time and looked at the Exhaust Port.
"Tiamat and the King's aura are gone; only Goetia's remains..."
"Saint."
Jeanne then spoke.
"Saint?"
Upon hearing this term, the other Heroic Spirit and Demon God Pillars also became puzzled.
Especially the Heroic Spirit, who originally came to punish Evils of Humanity, but in this instant, the auras of the two Evils of Humanity disappeared. Even Goetia's aura transformed from its original beast form into a new human at this moment. Nearby, there was another aura that had also abandoned something and was constantly transforming.
A saint...
Because of the sudden disappearance of Evils of Humanity, and the fact that the Demon God Pillars in front of them were impossible to kill no matter how they fought, the heroic Heroic Spirit had no choice but to stop fighting. The Demon God Pillars went berserk, having just found their king, how could they suddenly disappear again? In this situation, even Lev lost the will to continue fighting.
Rameses II also raised his nose and sniffed, then frowned.
Evils of Humanity has vanished.
This shows that his best friend has defeated Evils of Humanity, and he should be celebrating for it.
But even though the aura of a close friend is still there, why is something changing? What exactly is going on?
He couldn't help but feel doubtful and lost the will to continue fighting.
Then both groups turned their heads and looked at the Exhaust Port. Without saying a word, they sped off towards it, just to see what had happened.
On the other side--
They had already won a resounding victory.
All of Lahmu spontaneously combusted the instant Tiamat's beast form vanished.
Uruk was still there, and because the main force hadn't come to Uruk due to Rovey's previous errands, the city was largely unharmed, except for Gilgamesh went all in on the entire Gate of Babylon.
So much so that Gilgamesh was completely dazed when it ended.
Is that all?
