Nuke the Clock Tower
Rovey looked at him and said, word by word:
"--I'll let you witness firsthand how your prized Department of Law, and the Clock Tower, are ultimately destroyed."

Introduction:
Legend has it that there is a mysterious department at Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals that can provide any magical equipment and items one desires.
The department head was incredibly powerful; even Collapsals and Seaborn were no match for him.
Fang Jiu involved, must come forward to clarify that these are all just rumors.
He's just an ordinary swordsman traveling between different worlds, and part-time head of Rhodes Island's Special Operations Department. Who made him out to be some kind of mystical figure?
All I think about every day is how to avoid fighting, just search, stuff my pants full, and then retreat, okay?
--What? You're saying someone's entered Rhodes Island?
After Wisadel and I finish blocking the Fuyuki Bridge, we'll go back and blow them up!
Chapter 335 The Nuclear Clock Tower
Rumble rumble rumble--!!
A piercing gust of wind swept across the edge of the world.
Now--
The sky is roaring, and the earth is wailing!
The terrifying wind pressure was like a harbinger of creation, proclaiming the arrival of destruction and creation.
Looking up, a crimson beam of light pierced the sky and the earth, and a scarlet storm swirled above London, turning the sky crimson and shattering the clouds above.
As for the Department of Law...
At this very moment, under the terrifying wind pressure unleashed by the Ea, it began to crumble inch by inch before that earth-shattering, supreme power capable of tearing the world apart.
Every meticulously carved piece of land, every room filled with restrictions, was slowly crushed by the crimson wind pressure at this moment.
"Aaaaaah--!!"
The terrifying scene left the old Magus kneeling before him speechless. His eyes widened, and his breathing became rapid. Under the immense wind pressure, his body was spared from being crushed because he was in the eye of the storm.
"What... what do you want to do?"
He asked this question, even though he already knew the answer, in despair.
Rovey merely glanced at him coldly, then said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, just giving you ungrateful bastards a little punishment you deserve."
"Well, it's about time!"
"Liberate, sing your heart out, Ea, the star of creation, the Enuma Elish."
Rumble rumble--!!
The final movement then began, and Rovey brought down the Ea with a heavy thud, the howling crimson storm also producing a piercing sound because of his change of direction.
Immediately afterwards, a dark red beam of light descended upon the Clock Tower along with the wind pressure.
The terrifying gale was so strong that it tore everything it touched to shreds. In the blink of an eye, the dark red curtain enveloped most of the Clock Tower! Everything in sight was swallowed up.
And this is only the simplest, lowest-power release of the Ea. For some reasons, Rovey did not use the maximum release spell. However, as the creation sword in Sumerian Mythology, even the simplest release power is far beyond the imagination of modern Magus!
Soon, a dark red gale and a blinding red light descended straight down from the sky and struck the reference point aimed at the Department of Law. The red light then continued to spread and exploded at a certain critical point.
Boom!!!
The deadly gales, powerful enough to tear apart the planet's very foundations, engulfed everything in their path. The force of the roar was like a fierce divine punishment descended from a supreme deity in ancient times, sweeping away everything and capable of destroying it all.
The Clock Tower, an ancient architectural complex that has been considered the heart of Western Europe and one of the Holy Land of human magic since thousands of years ago, was so easily annihilated to the point that nearly half of it was destroyed.
A terrifying crimson tornado descended upon it, but quickly vanished...
This was the punishment Rovey gave him, and the consequence of angering him.
And this was after he had restrained his power and was not using his maximum release.
If it weren't for the fact that some people were also here, and that the Magus were quick to offer their services, and that they were given a break, that attack could have wiped the Clock Tower off the map, or even sunk the entire city of London!
Ten seconds later, the red gale slowly subsided.
The dark red longsword that had been hovering in Rovey's hand also stopped spinning, and was then casually tossed into the treasure vault by Rovey. Soon, only the Clock Tower, still half-broken, remained on the ground.
At that moment, air raid sirens were blaring frantically on the ground.
The panicked Magus pushed and shoved each other, risking their lives to escape. Many Magus watched as their workshops, to which they had devoted their lives, were ruthlessly destroyed, and they knelt on the ground, weeping their hearts out.
In the chaos, people pushed and shoved each other, fell, and trampled, resulting in countless deaths and a cacophony of screams.
Everywhere you look, there are wounded people, there are corpses that have died tragically, there is death and destruction everywhere.
Everything was so hopeless, so terrifying.
To ensure the Department of Law who were causing trouble could see Rovey clearly, they even started a live stream.
Inside the Chaldea control room, the Magus who had been sent there, as well as Weber, were all trembling. Especially when they saw Gilgamesh's familiar Enuma Elish, Weber's past experience of being annihilated was relived.
Having never been in the mood for such matters, the Wise King Gilgamesh Gilgamesh, who had just emerged from his workshop, noticed that his Noble Phantasm had been used. He glanced around and, seeing Rovey use it at the Clock Tower, scoffed with amusement:
"Oh? So you've chosen to use my Noble Phantasm as punishment? Hmph, while that's certainly reasonable, using my Noble Phantasm to crush bugs is truly disrespectful to Ea, you mongrel."
Although he complained a little, Gilgamesh still smiled when he saw how skillfully Rovey wielded his Ea.
After all, this also means that Rovey borrowed his power and acknowledged the power of the Ea, which is undoubtedly a kind of affirmation for him.
"You, you are?! Archer!"
When Weber heard that familiar voice, he almost had a fit of Ptsd. He turned around and saw Gilgamesh's familiar face, and was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
However, Gilgamesh only glanced at him.
"Oh, so the young Master of the King of Conquerors back then. He's grown quite a bit, isn't he? Interesting, but still just a jack-of-all-trades."
"Remember, the current King is Caster. Don't compare me to that dim-witted version of yourself; we belong to different eras."
After cursing Weber a few times, Gilgamesh left.
"This, this...!"
The other Magus dared not utter a sound; their legs began to tremble violently, and before long, some had even knelt on the ground.
They were almost in tears at that moment.
Is this the power of the gods?
The realm of the gods?
This is what happens when you anger the gods!
They couldn't imagine what would happen if they, along with those guys from the Department of Law, went on a crazy rampage this time.
In the blink of an eye, half of the Clock Tower was gone.
This is clearly an example of the other party showing leniency.
If you show no mercy, you'll really lose everything.
What kind of madness were those guys in the Department of Law thinking, daring to mess with this ancestor?
Meanwhile, Bazett and Hishiri Adashino, who were tied up in the corner and were thinking about how to escape, also gave up their plans to run away after seeing what happened.
There is no other reason.
Because the gap in strength is too large.
The entire Clock Tower was something he could destroy with a flick of his wrist. Even if they could escape, what then?
Revenge?
No, they don't deserve it.
Putting aside whether it's even possible, they don't have any particular feelings for the Department of Law. And even if they did propose revenge, it would probably be dismissed as a joke or crushed like an ant.
After all, when have you ever heard of an ant taking revenge on a dragon?
--
"Alright, now that half of the Clock Tower and your prized Department of Law are gone, have you given up completely?"
While the Magus of Chaldea were too frightened to utter a word...
Deep underground within the Department of Law, Rovey, holding the last living creature within a radius of several kilometers, raised his hand, pinched its neck, and asked with a smile.
"No, no... this can't be real! The Clock Tower, how could the clock possibly be like this?!"
At this moment, the old Magus was completely devastated. He knelt before Rovey, tears streaming down his face, and began to plead desperately:
"Please, please stop... Don't continue, please stop! Please forgive us... We'll do anything, please have mercy!"
"Have you completely given up hope? Are you no longer going to seal me away with the ruins?"
"Rovey asked."
"No, I wouldn't dare! I'll never do it again!"
The other person cried heartbrokenly.
"Then let's call Barthomeloi over first."
Seeing his pained expression, Rovey remained unmoved. He lowered his head and said expressionlessly, "Find a smart person who can speak to you. You're already a dead man; I won't spare you no matter what."
"Of course, if you continue to insist or intend to continue to resist, that's fine too. I don't mind taking matters into my own hands and tearing the other half apart as well."
As he spoke, Rovey raised his hand and pointed to the Clock Tower, which was still about half intact; the meaning behind his gesture was self-evident.
At this moment, the already devastated old Magus disregarded his image and clung to Rovey's leg, pleading desperately:
"No! Please don't do this! Barthomeloi will be back soon...! Please wait a little longer! Please, please, spare the Clock Tower..."
"Is that so? Then I'll wait and see. You can die too."
Rovey withdrew his hand, then kicked the disgusting guy in front of him to death.
He then snapped his fingers, repairing the dark red crack in the sky above, restoring it from an apocalyptic scene back to its original state.
However, although the world slowly healed, the divine punishment that was sent down by the gods remained in this world, becoming a bloody scar that was forever engraved in the hearts of these unreverent Magus.
Tell them what reverence is, and teach them to revere.
Finally, his figure disappeared into the Clock Tower.
No one even knew he had been there; all he left behind was this devastating catastrophe.

On the other side, the Lord who had just emerged from the secret chamber were also shocked by what they saw—a scene comparable to that of the post-World War II era.
They initially dismissed the message from their messenger, but out of a sense of caution, they ventured inside for a short while. And in that brief moment, disaster struck the Clock Tower.
Because of Rovey's nonchalant liberation, half of the Clock Tower was swept away into ruins.
Not only were countless lives and property lost, but numerous forbidden seals were also destroyed, leading to a serious leak of mysteries. The Department of Law, however, didn't need to worry about this problem, as its mysteries were also destroyed along with the Enuma Elish. In short, the Clock Tower suffered severe damage. This was also the most terrifying attack the Clock Tower had ever experienced since its inception.
Who would have thought that a being capable of destroying a city or a mountain with a wave of its hand would, due to the provocation of some fools, come to the top of the Clock Tower, bypass all reconnaissance methods, and directly launch a nuclear explosion at the Clock Tower.
How utterly insane! And what terrifying power!
The Britain government, unaware of the current situation, believes that this is a weather weapon manufactured by some other country and used for testing in London. As a result, the entire country has entered a state of high alert, and even the whole world is searching for the mastermind behind it, speculating that other countries have manufactured such weapons and issuing accusations.
The Clock Tower began to stabilize the situation, continuously sending people to carry out rescue and reconstruction efforts, while simultaneously covering up intelligence.
The assembled Lord, including Barthomeloi, who had just returned from the Atlas Institute only to see the Enuma Elish, the Star of Creation, fall upon his home, destroying two-thirds of the Department of Law's assets and accumulated wealth, were also present.
This is the Clock Tower Master's office, and also the only safe area besides the Dimensional Rift of the Jewel Magician that can completely evade the Ea.
At this moment, her face was terribly gloomy. Without saying a word, she directly activated the communication channel left in the Dean's room, which allowed her to communicate with the other Grandmasters of the Clock Tower and the leaders of the other two departments, seeking help.
However, just as news of her help reached the ears of Jewel Magician had recently been released from prison in the Temple of Time and was resting in his dimensional rift in a disheveled state, the other party merely glanced at the situation and immediately brushed it off with the excuse, "The Barthomeloi is too serious to intervene."
Just kidding.
