The Lord's Visit / Goodbye, Waver

He looked towards Antarctica, his body drenched in cold sweat.

"No, no way...?!"

Chapter 325 The Lord's Visit

Located on a snow-capped mountain in Antarctica, within Chaldea.

After driving away the expedition sent by the Clock Tower, Chaldea returned to a state of relaxation, which could be seen as a transition from a state of high tension to a state of ease after saving the world.

Not long ago, Rovey's actions had already terrified Roman.

Just yesterday, after watching the expedition team sent by the Clock Tower go mad, he, because of his past experience and knowledge, also felt a great and nameless power entrenched in Rovey's soul, or rather, that was Rovey's soul.

The almost omnipotent god-like soul and status caused his body to tremble uncontrollably.

He had known all along that although Rovey always said he had given up everything God had given him and was now just an ordinary Magus, like him being just an ordinary doctor, it was definitely not that simple. After all, what ordinary Magus could achieve such a feat?

Even though Rovey abandoned the power of God, he still possessed a special power that was unimaginable, unpredictable, and even more incomprehensible. It was a special power that did not belong to this world, but came from beyond the stars, and could not be described or inferred.

The oblivious expedition team from the Clock Tower, by sheer coincidence, stumbled upon his target. With their human- Mystic Eyes, they tried to observe the indescribable god beyond the starry sky. The god's immense status and size terrified even the god's soul.

Roman was initially flustered upon witnessing this scene, as what Rovey had done was tantamount to declaring war on the entire Mage's Association.

He also wanted to persuade Rameses II and Rovey to put away the pyramids and the King's Cannon outside, and hide them to deal with the subsequent inspection by the Mage's Association. He would then think of other ways to explain the matter.

However, Rovey stopped him directly, saying:

"There's absolutely no need for that. Although most of the Magus in the Clock Tower are morally bankrupt bastards, there are still some capable individuals among them. While Magus combat abilities are generally not very good, their theoretical knowledge is indeed impeccable. The changes and impacts of this place are unlikely to fool those guys. In addition, the Atlas Institute and the Wandering Sea are also part of the Mage's Association. Do you really think Chaldea can keep it a secret?"

"Hmm... that makes sense."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Roman thought for a moment, "I was being too nervous. What you said doesn't seem to be a problem. If you think about it carefully, and considering how things have turned out, there shouldn't be any problem even if we don't hide it, right?"

Roman, who had lost his composure, quickly came to his senses.

Roman had been there for so long that his thinking had become so distorted that he couldn't immediately revert to his previous state.

"You've finally come to your senses, Romani. I was really going to be dumbed down by the world of anime because of you."

Rovey chuckled softly, then said jokingly.

"Indeed, you may think that the Clock Tower has many rules, but you should also remember that rules are for people who cannot survive without them. We are obviously not that kind of people. Even if the entire Clock Tower attacks us, we will be easily suppressed by me."

"This time, I scared that examiner with the Mystic Eyes into a stupor to deliver this message—there are beings in Chaldea that you cannot afford to offend."

For Rovey, breaking through the Clock Tower wouldn't be difficult.

It's as simple as crushing an ant.

Under normal circumstances, Rovey could easily break through the Clock Tower with just his Sword of Paracelsus and Rune. Without the Jewel Magician appearing, those Lords would be easy prey for him to defeat.

In a more brutal manner, he could simply float above the Clock Tower's barrier, inflict pain on the Clock Tower, and unleash an Enuma Elish, easily leveling the Clock Tower's great barrier and the entire academy to the ground.

If he found it troublesome and wanted to save time, he could have the two Artoria use Chaldea as the launch point and Holy Lance, Unleash! at the Clock Tower, which would silently destroy the Clock Tower.

Even if you don't want to do it yourself, it's fine. Just infiltrate the Clock Tower, bribe some Lord, and give them information like your Magecraft data. Those Magus will start fighting amongst themselves and then destroy themselves.

Therefore, with his methods, there are far too many ways to destroy a mere Clock Tower.

If Lev and the others were here, he wouldn't even need to say a word; the Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars would do it for him.

The reason for not destroying the Clock Tower directly is that, although it is Clock Tower in another world, there are still some feelings and nostalgia associated with it.

Furthermore, he wasn't sure if there were any people he knew well living in the Clock Tower, such as Weber, Reines, or some classmates. If he destroyed it directly, not only would he accidentally injure or even kill them, but the destruction of the Clock Tower itself would also have a significant impact on their lives.

He wasn't an impulsive person, nor was he the type to act without considering the consequences, so he wasn't in a hurry to make a move.

"Dr. Roman, you should know this very well."

"What?"

Rovey looked at Romani in front of him and continued, "The Clock Tower has many intelligent people, but most of them are just a bunch of bullies who prey on the weak. The reason they were so offensive is because they didn't know how much fighting power Chaldea had or what their strength was. Now that they know the general truth, of course they will restrain themselves—after all, shouldn't there be more trust between people?"

What you said seems to make a lot of sense.

Dr. Roman continued, "What if... they betray your trust later?"

"Then let's just demolish the Clock Tower. What's there to hesitate about? After all, three strikes won't be enough. They dug up Rameses II's pyramid once, and offended me a second time. If there's a third time, things won't be so simple. If appealing to emotions doesn't work, then we'll try reasoning with them. But the reasoning I'm going to use isn't logic, it's Mari."

He raised his hand and said casually.

"And--"

At this point, Rovey smiled slightly:

"What do you think the Clock Tower is? What were they doing when I was dealing with the impending doom of humanity? What were they doing when Chaldea was Human Order Restoration? Were they busy fighting amongst themselves? Or were they fast asleep? You know what, Dr. Roman? My goal is to maintain the stability and continuation of a world, to create a peaceful and beautiful world where people don't have to worry about being suddenly destroyed. That's my ultimate goal. Anyone who stands in my way is a traitor, and I'll kick them to death if they try. No one can shake that."

"..."

Roman nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"You should not know this, Dr. Roman. In my world, the Clock Tower, the Atlas Institute, and the Wandering Sea have all been gathered together. Magicians and Magus from all over the world are converging in London to find ways to solve the problems facing humanity. Do you think I did this with just words?"

At this point, Rovey's meaning was quite clear.

"The world will keep turning even without the Clock Tower, but what will Human Order without the Chaldea?"

It's obvious that it will eventually end.

Because the Humanity Incineration the end; other calamities will surely follow.

Although the Pseudo-Singularity will no longer be born because of him, Alien God has been unable to find any trace of it. After the Humanity Incineration ended, he did not let Roman release the people of A-Team, but instead kept them locked in the cryogenic chamber, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Rovey examined their condition.

It remains a state of being between life and death, but everyone's soul is very stable, clearly having escaped danger and now merely in a state of suspended animation.

However, there was still no sign of the Greater Command Spell that he most wanted to study, which is why he had not yet taken action.

If he wanted to make a move now, he could easily crush these defenseless guys with his abilities.

In his hands, it doesn't matter if you're a Department of Astromancy Magecraft genius, a werewolf hybrid of fairy and human, a special Yu Mei-ren of the True Ancestor type, a possessor of the Gem Mystic Eyes, a person striving to become an Arhat, or a special alien angel, or even Kadoc.

He can kill anyone he wants.

But doing that would still be pointless.

Unless the Alien God give these guys Greater Command Spell, even if they are killed, the other side can still replace them at any time.

Although A-Team is a very suitable candidate, there are so many Magus in this era that there are countless suitable candidates. If we were to do it, it would not only fail to achieve any good results, but would also make things more complicated.

He also knew that there were a few people in A-Team who weren't so bad; most of them had their own ideas, wishes, and ideals, especially Kadoc, the Magus who was still fresh in Rovey's memory.

A genius among ordinary people, yet a mediocre genius, lacking only self-confidence and guidance.

As for that mixed-race bastard, it would be most reasonable for him to die sooner rather than later.

However, it's best to wait and see for now.

So Rovey decided to continue fishing.

He instructed Da Vinci and Nitocris to install concealment spells near their cryogenic chambers to prevent others from entering without their knowledge, and then to lock the cryogenic chambers to prevent them from suddenly escaping.

The rest will be left to time.

Once the Greater Command Spell appears, and once the alien apostles arrive, everything can begin.

But now he has other things to do.

After examination and adjustments by Da Vinci, Nitocris's body was found to be perfectly compatible, with no rejection reactions or wavelength mismatches. It was as if she had Incarnation through the Holy Grail.

However, while Nitocris was a suitable body, Tiamat was not, as her size was still too large. Even though she had abandoned her divinity and come through a split spirit, she would still not be very stable. Therefore, Da Vinci needed to continue making adjustments. During this time, Rovey also continued to adjust the summoning base, using fate to assign the Heroic Spirit Summoning to the people they encountered in the Seventh Singularity.

The C-rank Gilgamesh burst into laughter upon arrival and was then pushed out by Rovey to work overtime was the result of his hard work.

The moment the other person appeared, they launched into a tirade of abuse at Rovey.

The reason is simple: Rovey filled the Gate of Babylon with counterfeit Noble Phantasm.

Although he has a good temper, he is also a clean freak. Normally, he doesn't care about fakes, or even less powerful or lower-quality Noble Phantasm. He's never seen a treasure vault filled with fakes before.

However, despite the other party's anger, Gilgamesh didn't dwell on it too much since he had already shared the treasure trove. He simply told Rovey to put it in himself and use it himself, saying that he would never use it under any circumstances, and then went to continue working overtime with Da Vinci.

After all, Gilgamesh is an extremely rare, top-tier Magus with unparalleled Magecraft skill and a deep understanding of Tiamat. With his help, adjusting the body's data will be quite simple, and they should get a result soon.

Later that evening, because he had promised Artoria he would make amends, he went to the room Artoria had arranged to stay in for the night. Roman even thoughtfully found them a very large room and had a "good luck" smile on his face.

Then, the next morning, they saw Luo Wei, who had lost his Saint body, was significantly weakened, and was exhausted both physically and mentally from being overwhelmed by three beings who were not normal. He was clearly struggling to keep Rovey, and Roman even handed him a cup of goji berry water to indicate, "He understands."

Rovey really wanted to punch him and say, "You don't know anything!"

However, Roman truly understood this kind of pain. After all, when he was Solomon, he was also tricked by his father, King David, into being Sheba. Later, other wives were arranged for him, and he often ended up in the same situation. So he knew all too well what it meant.

Later, after he stopped Solomon, he realized that women were really a hindrance and only slowed him down in completing the game.

Of course, Merry is special; he doesn't count.

So...

"Is this why you've always refused to accept Da Vinci?"

Upon hearing this, Rovey revealed a disdainful look.

He had long since realized that Da Vinci harbored different feelings for Roman, and that she even stayed in Chaldea because of Roman. These feelings transcended mere professional affection; her intentions were obvious. Roman wasn't stupid either; he was well aware of this as well, but—

Roman shook his head frantically, then replied with a look of utter despair, "Da Vinci was a man!"

"Now women are all that important? After all, her body is like Mona Lisa's."

"Is this really okay?!"

"Relax."

Rovey patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Alright, after all, you don't really care about the existence of this kind of thing, right? You ignored it before because of the burning of Goetia and Humanity Incineration, and you felt that you would die, so you didn't plan to leave much behind. Now, try to accept it. You two are actually a good match."

"Let's take another look..."

Roman and Rovey sat on the steps, chatting and laughing like close friends.

Passersby couldn't hear what they were saying, but they could tell from their expressions that they were having a very pleasant conversation.

Da Vinci was pleased to see them chatting so happily.

What Rovey just said was Da Vinci's message, asking him to pass on a message to Roman to be more proactive, as she is always ready to accept his advances.

Since Da Vinci had helped him so much, Rovey certainly wouldn't refuse such a small favor. Besides, he also felt that Roman and Da Vinci were a really good match.

However, as Da Vinci also said, if he failed and Roman remained unmoved, then it wouldn't matter.

Da Vinci had already bought more than a dozen bottles of the Love Elixir from him, which was practically a lethal dose.

She could still achieve her goal by pouring seven or eight bottles into Roman's throat.

Having witnessed Da Vinci's determination, Rovey could only pray for and bless Roman.

Just as the two finished chatting and were about to go to the cafeteria for a meal together...

Several Chaldea employees rushed over with documents in hand, their faces showing panic.

Seeing this, Roman took a breath before slowly explaining what had happened.

Then all I heard was a sentence from the other person--

"Someone else has arrived at the Clock Tower, and this time it's a Lord. Their name seems to be..."

"El-Melloi II!"

Roman: "The Lord!"

Rovey: "Weber?"

Upon hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but speak at the same time.

Chapter 326 Reunion with Weber

The Mage's Association has sent people.

Although the news came a little earlier than expected, it wasn't entirely unexpected.

After all, it's impossible for the Clock Tower to remain unmoved after such a major event.

Although their efficiency is usually extremely low due to the infighting among various factions, they still dare not be negligent on important matters that could affect the entire Clock Tower.

However, the number of people who came this time was indeed beyond Rovey's expectations.

"Weber?"

When the name El-Melloi II came out of the Chaldea staff's mouth, Rovey immediately thought of that guy in the classroom who was always tricked by him, a guy who was originally naive and prone to acting on impulse.
