The Farce Is Over

Upon hearing this, Koyanskaya readily admitted it.

Yes.

Not only her, Rasputin also never believed from the beginning that the Oprichniki could get them out.

Ivan the Terrible's army was merely bait, cannon fodder to draw enemy fire.

Since the two of them already knew how terrible this place was through various intelligence channels, how could they possibly place their hopes on these cannon fodder?

Now they realize that this place is even more terrifying than they expected.

Now, not only are the Crypter reduced in number, but even Ashiya Douman is unable to escape unscathed.

This also suggests that the Thunder Emperor's army will be completely destroyed soon.

These Oprichniki even failed at their task of drawing the enemy's attention.

Rasputin glanced at the battle situation, then sighed and said, "Although in Ivan the Terrible's dream, as long as the Terrible doesn't awaken, these Oprichniki will appear endlessly, their production rate is far slower than the destructive speed of Chaldea... It seems they're about to completely stabilize the situation; we must escape immediately!"

"Agree."

Everyone nodded in agreement. At this moment, they worked together to push the container to the edge of the cliff, having no other choice but to take a gamble.

"Look!"

However, just before they set off, Ophelia suddenly raised her head and looked into the distance. The others around her also looked over and saw that the last black hunter force had been completely wiped out at that moment.

Moreover, that entire massive army of tens of thousands of people had at this moment transformed into part of this snow-capped mountain. What's even more perplexing is that these Oprichniki, who were supposed to be avatars of Ivan the Terrible's dreams and controlled by Ivan the Terrible will, should have never experienced fear, never perished, felt no pain, never retreated, and existed solely for the purpose of fighting. Yet, at this moment, these Oprichniki, who should have been constantly fighting...

Surprisingly--

They ran away?

Yes, these Oprichniki have actually started to run away on their own!

"This is troublesome."

This scene made Rasputin frown.

He realized that the deaths of too many Oprichniki had begun to feed back into the dream from reality, thus affecting Ivan the Terrible's dream and frightening the Ivan the Terrible who had transformed into a primordial behemoth.

Chaldea's firepower alone is enough to frighten a Lostbelt King before they even meet.

Thinking about this, Rasputin found it even more absurd. There was no point in even considering it now; Russia's Lostbelt was already defunct, and it was absolutely impossible for them to participate in the end.

Upon witnessing the gruesome scene of the black army attempting to escape only to be overtaken and killed by the Chaldea forces, Yu Mei-ren couldn't help but remark:

"That's terrible... almost just like us."

"No, we weren't so bad off at all. On the contrary, out of seven Magus facing that one, four of them actually managed to escape alive, fleeing right under that one's gaze. That's an achievement that can only be described as miraculous!"

Rasputin was very pleased:

"Now, the contractors of the Alien God, although there were some losses in this operation, it's still minor. The Fantasy Tree is also ready. The moment those seeds are planted, our plan to rewrite Earth will officially begin."

"Furthermore, in response to Chaldea's resistance, our Alien God boss will use his remaining power to launch a final intervention on Earth, no less powerful than the Humanity Incineration, to ensure the growth of the Fantasy Tree and the establishment of the Lostbelt. Once we successfully escape from here, the future of humanity will officially be handed over to you..."

He hadn't finished his encouraging words.

Suddenly, an accident happened.

The next moment, a somewhat angry voice rang out from the snow -Chaldea.

"Although I already knew what you were thinking, hearing it with my own ears still fills me with uncontrollable anger."

A male voice rang in everyone's ears:

"You are also a part of Human History, and every one of you is human, yet you commit such disgusting acts. Why should the future of humanity be decided by a few traitors like you who collude with aliens?"

"Now I ask you—"

"What exactly do you take humanity for?!"

The angry words resounded almost telepathically, reaching everyone's ears—very close, extremely close, practically within arm's reach.

And indeed, they were very close.

"Oh no! Run!!"

Rasputin shouted urgently, but before Rasputin could react, a hand pierced through his chest like a knife, and a large amount of blood gushed out.

The next second, his Spirit Core was pierced through by a single blow!

His life and mission came to an end without any warning...

At the same time, that familiar figure reappeared before Kirschtaria and Pepe Ronchi, causing their brows to twitch in alarm.

He really caught up with us!!

"Ugh!!"

At that moment, Rasputin also uncontrollably spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was twisted and ferocious. Even without turning around, he could tell who was behind him and who had killed him.

Then, Rovey appeared behind him with a cold expression and casually pulled his hand out of his chest.

He looked at the dying Rasputin and said calmly, "Disgusting bastard. Although you're using Kirei Kotomine's body, you're even worse than him. Seeing you really makes me nauseous."

"As for your plan, it's utterly ridiculous. The Alien God, changing Earth, has an impact no less significant than the Incineration of Humanity Incineration. Isn't it just the Human Order Freezing? You have neither strength nor courage. You came long ago, but you didn't dare to confront Goetia head-on. Instead, you crawled out like rats in the shadows after the Humanity Incineration ended. You think you can conquer this planet? Don't make me laugh."

"Now you've suddenly popped up again, do you think I'm easy to bully? What gives you such courage?"

Although Rovey's tone remained calm, it was incredibly cold and chilling.

"If I were to capture or kill all the Crypter and you lackeys here, would the Alien God you speak of appear? Would your grand plan come to an end?"

"--?!!"

These words sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.

If it were anyone else, they would just take it as a threat or intimidation, but when Rovey said it, they would unconsciously feel fear.

Because the other side really could kill them all.

"Cough cough cough... You can't do it! Even if you were a god, you couldn't do it! Although you wouldn't be affected once you reached the realm of gods, you absolutely cannot defy the power of fate! In the end, we will be the victors!"

Upon hearing this, Rasputin, who was on his last breath, knelt on the ground and endured the pain as he spoke.

Finally, in his last moments, he let out a final cry to all the Crypter:

"Run! Get out of here quickly! Get on the containers—there might still be a chance to escape now... Ugh!!"

Before he could finish speaking, his roar abruptly ceased.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh--!!"

A painful scream rang in his ears. Rasputin screamed as his Spirit Origin began to boil, his shattered Spirit Core ignited, and a raging fire melted everything Rasputin possessed.

"Disgusting guy, this is none of your business."

Because Rovey was too lazy to listen to these guys' nonsense, he directly ignited all the magic power in his body, causing his body to explode from the inside out, turning into ashes right before his eyes, and then casually blew them away.

Then Rovey Wei looked at the others present. From his right, a dark red angelic phantom appeared, pointing its sword directly at the enemy in front of it.

"A miracle! It's a miracle! Only a god could perform such a miracle! Run!!"

Upon seeing Michael appear, Koyanskaya was terrified and immediately cried out. The other Crypter even crawled into the containers just moments before he appeared, intending to rush off the cliff to escape.

Bear bear bear--!!

At that moment, Michael swung his arm and slashed heavily at the container in front of him. Feeling the magic and heat emanating from it, it was clear that the other party had no intention of leaving any survivors.

Crisis!

Life-or-death crisis!

Realizing this, Ophelia attempted to stop it with her Jewel-Grade Mystic Eyes, but because the Mystic level was suppressed, it not only had no effect, but also caused her to bleed even more.

In her panic, all she could do was shout:

"No! That angel is also top-tier in strength! Humans can't possibly contend with her!" "Miss Koyanskaya, quick! Use your invincible tail to think of a solution!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Upon hearing this, Koyanskaya almost cried.

"Don't treat my tail like a consumable! Shouldn't you be the ones putting in the effort? Hurry up and use that Greater Command Spell to solve the problem!"

Just as they were arguing...

The flaming sword wielded by the summoned Michael had already unleashed a monstrous heatwave on the snow-capped mountain. The dark red flames melted the snow in an instant, turning it into a sea of fire that engulfed the container where the Crypter were located! Even the strongest steel in Chaldea was gradually melted by the heat.

Even a once snow-covered cliff was melted into scorched earth at this moment, and the other half of the sky, dyed red by flames, looked like the end of the world.

Chapter 345 The Farce Ends

To be or not to be, that is the question.

This quote comes from William Shakespeare's literary work, Hamlet.

In the past, while one could grasp some of the deeper meaning by combining it with the story, without firsthand experience, it lacked a certain realism. However, in this moment, reflecting on this famous quote again, I believe everyone present will understand that this is a very serious issue.

Are they alive or dead?

At this very moment, atop the cliff, the Crypter had given their all, but still could not escape their predicament.

And soon, they will have to face the celestial calamity fire that is about to fall.

Under the power of the Blazing Archangel, the surging heat wave erupted like a coiling fire dragon, easily engulfing everything in its path. Even the gloomy night sky above was completely illuminated by this attack. Although it should have been the eternal night in Antarctica, the sky turned incredibly red, as if the end of the world had arrived. The fire wave that was engulfing the rapidly falling container was only inches away from it!

At this moment, everyone inside the container looked ashen-faced.

Even Koyanskaya was completely panicked. She even began to consider whether she should cut off another tail to escape!

But for them, even thinking now requires taking time.

The flames engulfed them in an instant; in a flash, the entire container they were in was completely engulfed in flames, crashing down onto the icy plain below like a burning meteor.

This shipping container was found by Koyanskaya in Chaldea's garage. It has a very good outer shell. Since it should contain some kind of extremely important special equipment, the outer shell of this container is made of special materials. Chaldea has taken great care of it, and they have done a very good job in terms of Magecraft defense, high temperature resistance, cold resistance, and impact resistance.

Both the external armor and the armor itself represent the highest quality available on this planet, almost like a futuristic technology.

If it weren't for the need for identity verification, Koyanskaya couldn't currently obtain the necessary permissions for, she would have loved to see for herself what was inside the container.

However, even with such materials and craftsmanship, even as a product that has reached the pinnacle of Earth's craftsmanship, no matter how excellent its defensive capabilities are, it absolutely cannot withstand a casual strike from the realm of the gods.

If this move were rated using Noble Phantasm levels, its power would clearly be at least A-level, and it's instantaneous.

However, even in this seemingly unsolvable deadlock, this seemingly inescapable deadlock, a miracle still occurred.

And this miracle was beyond everyone's expectations.

Bear bear bear!!

A few seconds after the scorching flames engulfed the container, an incredible miracle occurred.

Instead of melting into molten iron as one would expect, the entire engulfed container emitted a dazzling, iridescent light that blocked the flames and protected what was inside.

Upon sensing the aura of magic, Rovey's eyes widened slightly, his mind racing with a myriad of thoughts.

Alien God?

No, that's not the power of the starry sky, but the power of the Imaginary Numbers World.

Could this be...?

He looked at the huge shipping container and had a certain guess in his mind.

At the same time, he couldn't help but be surprised by what these guys had done; he really hadn't expected that this thing could still appear here.

However, since you managed to block that first attack...

So...

What about the second time?

Now how are you going to block it?

Having made up his mind, he raised his hand again, manipulating his magic to gather a pure magic arrow at his fingertips, and then launched it at the container that was emerging from the wave of fire.

Call out--!!

A piercing whistling sound suddenly rang out.

This time, the light arrow was faster than the sea of fire before, and its attack power was also more severe. In just an instant, it was as fast as a streak of light, cutting through the night and through space, and arrived at the location of the container.

However, just as the second attack was about to arrive, a powerful magical force suddenly emanated from the container. At the same moment, the starry sky above quickly formed an array, and the True Magic circle emitted a dazzling light that rushed straight towards the rapidly approaching arrow of light, once again blocking this life-or-death attack, and then triggering an extremely violent explosion.

Inside the container at this very moment.
