"An experiment Pseudo-Servant?"

Fujimaru Kyoya quickly realized what state the girl was in. Clearly, within this organization called Chaldea, human experiments were being carried out systematically.

Lev was also hired by the organization because of his outstanding skills. Although their research directions were different, this was something that couldn't be kept from him, or rather, there was no need to hide it at all.

As Artificial Human, Mash was nothing more than an experimental subject to the Magecraft of Chaldea; in essence, she was no different from a lab rat.

Seeing this scene reminded Lev of his own experience. As one of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods of Solomon, he was essentially a man-made being. In his eyes Mash was her kind, and now her kind was being tortured like this.

Even though Mash's life improved later with the arrival of Dr. Roman and she gradually became closer to a normal human being, Lev knew that it was all just hypocrisy.

The lifespan of Artificial Human is far too short. Even if Mash doesn't undergo any more inhumane experiments, it's unlikely she'll live past twenty.

Did this talent lead Lev to the Abyss of destruction?

However, Solomon should have already died, so where did the power imprinted in Lev's bloodline come from?

Fujimaru Kyoya continued his investigation, and finally...

"What a rare guest."

Solomon opened his eyes in Hall of Heroes. He looked at the empty space before him, yet it was as if someone had come to visit, even though there was no one there.

This is the Hall of Heroes, where even fellow Heroic Spirit wouldn't dare to visit each other, let alone be guests. Yet he saw it; this is an ability that only someone with his level of Clairvoyance could acquire.

"Although I don't know how much time has passed for you, for me, the last time I saw you was the last time."

Solomon's words may sound like nonsense, but in the context of Hall of Heroes, a place independent of the timeline, perhaps only "the last time" is the most fitting description.

"You still remember me?"

Fujimaru Kyoya surprised. After Servant, Servants are just degraded versions of Heroic Spirit. The Servant in the Holy Grail War are just a Doppelganger of the Heroic Spirit in the Hall of Heroes. Once the Holy Grail Holy Grail War ends Servant disappear, the experience of that part of the Holy Grail War will not be retained.

This is the normal logic. As for Artoria's situation where she still retains her memories, it's just using "fake death" to exploit a bug. She didn't actually die, so those memories naturally won't fade away.

"No, I don't remember at all. I just took a look with my Clairvoyance. It was a truly spectacular battle."

Solomon was lavish in his praise, but the fact that the other person showed no emotion on their face made it utterly unconvincing.

As a participant in that battle, Fujimaru Kyoya understood that the reason he was able to win was entirely because the guy in front of him had his Clairvoyance restricted, and his mentality was truly terrible.

However, Solomon was born as Perfect King, possessing boundless wisdom and EX-level Clairvoyance, so his life was unlikely to experience many setbacks.

Even so, his mental fortitude is still incredibly poor.

"I don't deny that I'm a pessimist; after all, the more one knows, the more desperate one becomes."

Solomon Clairvoyance admitted the reasons for his defeat. After all, Gilgamesh caused him to lose control of the overall situation, ultimately leading to his loss.

This pessimistic mindset is easy to understand; many problems that he considers simple ("1+1") are like incomprehensible gibberish to others.

At that time, Israel might have seemed to Solomon nothing more than a land brimming with folly, and he was probably suffocated by that very folly.

"That's not the issue. I'd like to know what you know about Goetia?"

"Goetia?"

Solomon seems completely unaware; so your Clairvoyance is blind after all.

"Activating the Clairvoyance requires the consumption of Mana, and I am now a dead man, so human affairs have nothing to do with me."

Solomon summed it up in one sentence: he was slacking off and was completely unaware of Goetia's existence because he was too lazy to use his Clairvoyance.

However, with Fujimaru Kyoya's reminder, he still used his Clairvoyance to take a look, and his assassy face almost froze.

"How could something so dangerous have been created?"

Solomon used Clairvoyance to foresee the future of "Humanity Incineration." However, because he prevented the Demon God Pillar from helping humanity, his "love" for humanity ultimately turned into "evil."

This even triggered such a crisis.

At the same time, he also noticed the unfinished Goetia within his own corpse, and Lev, who ultimately committed suicide to protect Human Order.

After reading all this, Solomon... showed absolutely no emotional reaction.

Indeed, he felt no emotional fluctuation whatsoever, after all, he was still the Wise King. However, adhering to the principle of solving his own problems, he would still take some action.

"Leave the Goetia matter to me. Although I can't interfere with the world where Goetia has already been born, I still have ways to deal with the 'beasts' that haven't been born yet."

With Solomon's promise, Fujimaru Kyoya left with peace of mind. Although Solomon was not very human, he was still a man of his word.

But what about Goetia, who has become a "beast"? Is there really nothing he can do?

"Is this the time for farewell? Then let us agree."

Solomon saw the future through his Clairvoyance, and Dr. Roman's final choice was to erase Solomon's concept from Hall of Heroes, a request he also agreed to.

There's no good reason to refuse; you'll have to deal with the trouble you created yourself.

Chapter 278 Script <Perfect World> 85/165

"Detected the possible disappearance of the first beast of this World Line Goetia. You have had a significant impact on this world. <Hero Simulator> begins simulation... Please select three starting talents."

Another simulation has begun. Fujimaru Kyoya originally thought that after modifying the World Line, he wouldn't trigger the simulator, but it seems Goetia is still stubborn.

If left unchecked, and if Lev doesn't commit suicide, he might cause trouble again. In that case, he might not become a "beast" or trigger something like "the Humanity Incineration," but it would definitely not end well.

The problem should be completely resolved now.

"But a simulation? It seems like it's been a long time since we've had one."

Looking at the ball of light before him Fujimaru Kyoya felt a pang of emotion. Although the time spent in this world traveling to the Britain Lostbelt was not long, and even in that world it was only a few months, the time spent rewriting history and changing it into Pan-Human History was incalculable.

Despite his youthful appearance, Fujimaru Kyoya himself is unsure of his exact age.

"Alien Visitor: You are an alien being who descended from outer space, and you have a unique origin."

"Machine God Reincarnation: You are an Ironblood Autobot who yearns for a human body. Even though your strength in human form is inferior to your original form, you still managed to develop such a useless ability."

"Insight Eye: You possess technology that is absolutely superior to that of this native planet, and you have the ability to discern the underlying principles of most mysteries at a glance."

That's so strange.

Looking at the three talents he had drawn this time, Fujimaru Kyoya felt that if the previous simulator gave him a HOMO feeling, then this one gave him a model kit enthusiast feeling.

First of all, what does "Alien Visitor" mean? If you gave me "time traveler," I could understand a little bit of it.

As for "Machine God Reincarnation," he had never even heard of it. Fujimaru Kyoya only knew about Goddess Megami Tensei and Goddess. Was he going to awaken another personality mask?

The only somewhat normal one is the "Insight Eye," but what good is that? Where do you get that technology from?

Unfortunately, the emulator was completely silent for a long time; after selecting the option, it started running.

"Talent confirmed. Initiating script import for 'Perfect World'."

[You were born amidst chaos; as a Silicon-based Lifeform, you have no gender.]

[You were born without a childhood. As a member of a fleet capable of traversing the Universe, you are now responsible for protecting the data collected within the fleet. In an instant, you gained knowledge that many scholars dream of.]

[Your fleet appears to have encountered trouble, forcing it to land on a wild planet called Earth. The fleet seems to have lost the ability to leave this planet.]

[You have sensed the planet's Counter Force resisting you. To this planet, you are unwelcome outsiders. Soon, the Counter Force will activate and eliminate the "virus."]

[You proposed integrating the fleet into this planet, gaining the ability to survive by protecting its inhabitants and then becoming "gods," thus establishing a connection with the Counter Force. Clearly, the Gods were not satisfied with this proposal, but unable to leave Earth and unwilling to be harassed by the Counter Force, they ultimately agreed.]

[Awakening of the "Alien Visitor" Talent: Although you are not a creature of Earth, you have temporarily obtained a green card from Earth. Please do not do anything to damage the planet.]

[You accessed the fleet's database and eventually found a piece of unclaimed land in the Mediterranean. At your suggestion, the fleet decided to become gods for humanity.]

[Awakening of the "Insight Eye" talent: Using alien knowledge to crush the indigenous Earth—you are truly despicable at this point.]

[You are a silicon-based life form, much like Transformers. Towering as a mountain, you are feared by humans, while your companions could crush them with a single, casual movement. Your initial faith was born from fear, and you are known as the Titan.]

Wow Fujimaru Kyoya exclaimed.

He simply chose a piece of land unoccupied by gods, and with a bit of selfishness, began to protect humanity, incidentally hoping to get Earth green cards for his current fleet. Little did he know that this was practically Greek mythology.

However, the Greek mythology he encountered this time was a bit out of place.

Most people's thoughts of Greek mythology are things like a chaotic love triangle, a bald guy, or a QTE game. But the Greek mythology that Fujimaru Kyoya saw at this moment was like a Gundam vs. Transformers battle.

The art style was completely different; Fujimaru Kyoya couldn't imagine how a group of guys could have sex. Did they download pornographic material into each other's heads?

The reality, of course, was quite different. For the Greek Pantheon at that time, procreation was merely a game of building with Lego bricks; all that was needed was to install an Intelligent AI into the computer.

No wonder these gods are so kind and filial; it turns out their fathers aren't their biological fathers, and their mothers aren't their biological mothers. There's a reason they're so ruthless.

Especially recently, Kronos directly gave up his father's backup energy to Olive, becoming the new leader, which prompted Fujimaru Kyoya to speak out.

"Prometheus, Lord Kronos needs to speak with you."

"Looking for me?"

Fujimaru Kyoya was completely baffled. After arriving on Earth, he had focused solely on development and had not interfered with the power struggles on Mount Olympus. Now, he wondered what had gotten into Kronos that morning.

However, since the other party is now King of Gods, Fujimaru Kyoya has to give him some face. More importantly, the Machine God are basically devoid of the possibility of improving their strength through training. In terms of strength, it is really not advisable for Fujimaru Kyoya to fall out with this new King of Gods.

"It's been a long time, Prophet, the Prometheus."

Kronos's machine still bore many traces of the battle; clearly, although Kronos had defeated his father, the opponent's flying kick had still managed to wipe out all the paint.

"I still have a lot of work to do, so please explain why you've contacted me."

After all, they are all silicon-based life forms and don't care about things like hierarchy. Besides, the Greek Pantheon needs Fujimaru Kyoya to take care of humans in order to obtain Earth's green card. They can't expect these cold machines to calculate human emotions.

"Simple and direct, that saves me trouble. I've come to see you today about the curse."

A truly bizarre scene unfolded: two Gundams were discussing supernatural matters like "curses" inside a primitive cave.

What blasphemy! The great Father of All Organs must be furious.

Chapter 279 The Unique Greek Concept of Filial Piety 86/165

"Your rule will be overthrown by your descendants."

Such words are usually just seen as the final, impotent rage of a father killed by his son. Logically, they shouldn't concern silicon-based beings like Kronos, but times have changed.

They've moved to a different planet, and with that comes the acceptance of its rules. What they see as something completely unscientific, like a "curse," is now highly likely to materialize.

Kronos didn't want to meet such an end, so he specifically sought out Fujimaru Kyoya, since it was this God of Foresight who had given targeted advice and ensured the fleet's survival on Earth.

He should have a solution.

"Can't you just not have a baby?"

Fujimaru Kyoya really wanted to reply like that, but in reality, it was impossible. After all, the so-called "giving birth" was just giving a body Intelligent AI, which didn't take much effort.

Moreover, the Greek Pantheon is currently sparsely populated and living under the roof of others on Earth. What Kronos should be doing is vigorously developing infrastructure and building mechs.

If they only have this many people, what if other gods come and take their territory?

As the current leader, Kroos has to consider this issue. If he doesn't build any while everyone else is frantically building mechs, he'll end up with a bunch of underlings and be all alone, and his position won't be secure.

It's fair to say that Kronos is now in a dilemma.

"Isn't that unnecessary? You know we've only been here a short time. You can't even understand how the 'curse' works, let alone anyone else. This is just the old man's nonsense when he was defeated."

Fujimaru Kyoya wouldn't be so despicable as to let Kronos "eat" his children. After all, Zeus, though not a very good person, at least had strong humanity.

The Titan God nowadays treat humans merely as tools to maintain their "green cards" (i. e., access to permanent residency). As long as the inhabitants of their own territories Immortality, they hardly care about humanity.

It is precisely because of this coldness and ruthlessness that humans have used natural phenomena to bestow Divine Role upon these gods.

For example, at this time, Kronos was regarded as the "Time Titan". Even more incredibly, with the recognition of mankind, Kronos gradually mastered a kind of ability similar to "Za Warudo".

This is why Kronos felt worried; he himself didn't know he possessed this ability, so he dared not underestimate the so-called "curse" at all.

"Kronos, you don't need to worry about those things; they're just Self-Fulfilling Prophecy."

"Self-Fulfilling Prophecy... mine?"

Kronos didn't believe it; after all, he was a Cybertronian, how could he be defeated by a mere Self-Fulfilling Prophecy?

There must be some other force involved.

"I understand, you can go back now."

Kroos couldn't get an answer from Fujimaru Kyoya, but Fujimaru Kyoya could tell that the other party hadn't listened to a word he said.

After all, Kronos had already reached the pinnacle of his Machine Life. If he were so easily swayed by others, he wouldn't have been defeated by his own son in the end.

[After you returned, you continued to care for the people of Greece. Using your knowledge, you gradually led humanity to overcome the threats of nature, and your reputation as Sage grew ever more renowned.]

[Awakening of the innate "Divinity": You, who should not have become a god, gained the recognition of the native life and the Counter Force, becoming a tentacle of the Counter Force.]
