Bad Jeanne: Damn, I Became a Stand-In?

"So... the Singularity Point we painstakingly repaired was shattered like this by a simple fall?" After a long silence, Chaldeas, the central control room, and even Da Vinci breathed a sigh of relief and came to his senses.

Although it's hard to believe, it seems to be true.

He truly deserves to be called a sage at the Early Common Era.

She turned her gaze away from the Human Order observation facility called ' Chaldeas ' and looked to the side.

Romani? Why do you look so pale?

"No—it's nothing."

Romani shook his head and gave a slight smirk.

"Your hands are shaking, Dr. Roman?" Da Vinci tilted his head, a strange smile playing on his lips.

"Really... really not." Romani's smile was very forced, but his heart was becoming increasingly uneasy, because he discovered... that the incarnation of the Lord of the Human Realm had actually come in human form!?

However, he still tried his best to suppress his inner turmoil. In any case, the current Rovi is a Singularity Point, not Chaldeas.

There was still a buffer between them. "Although the Singularity Point is shattered, it will be repaired soon—"

He straightened his expression and looked at Da Vinci.

With a serious expression...

The topic was changed.

Da Vinci: "But your hands are shaking!"

"Don't underestimate the restorative power from the Otherworld. Without addressing the source of the Singularity Point, even Singularity Point them thousands of times will be futile..."

Why are your hands still shaking?

"..."

Seeing Romani's expression of utter disgust, Leonardo da Vinci couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Da Vinci glanced at him a couple more times. As the 'third Heroic Spirit ' of Chaldeas, she was well aware that the man before her, Romani Archaman, was hiding many secrets.

He was a close friend of the deceased former director and was considered an elder of the director who died at the hands of the deputy director who had betrayed him. He had stayed in Chaldeas for much longer than he, the third Heroic Spirit... Although he appeared quite ordinary, one could sense his extraordinary nature through the presence of Da Vinci da Vinci, one of the most famous artists in Human History.

An artist's intuition is always accurate.

but...

"Well, now is not the time to explore these things." Da Vinci said with a smile, "Indeed, we cannot underestimate the restorative power of the world."

"But we can't underestimate our last Master, can we?"

"Not to mention--"

"This time, we have such a powerful ally."

"There's no need to worry, is there?"

She blinked.

Romani laughed too.

They looked at Chaldeas... and on the shimmering 'globe,' the cracks were indeed slowly disappearing.

"They disappeared faster than I expected!"

"It exceeds the natural restorative power that should exist according to the previously measured Human Order Foundation Value— " The Human Order Foundation Value is the degree to which this time and this event occupy a crucial position in Human History, or it should also be called 'the depth of Human Order '.

The more critical something is, the higher its Human Order Foundation Value, and naturally, the more attention it will receive from the world.

"Is it because of the arrival of that saint?"

"Perhaps—"

I do not know the reason.

But as the 'logistics' team, they could only suppress their distracting thoughts and provide the most convenient rear support for their Master.

World repair.

At the turn of the 14th Century, the dark crack that spread from the central plains to the whole of France was slowly disappearing, being filled and repaired by countless grains of light.

But to be honest... this kind of 'accident' was something Rovi hadn't expected either.

I did not expect to fall.

But I didn't expect...

This ' Singularity Point ' is so fragile!

He did descend in a human form, but after forging the ' Seven Deadly Sins ' and stripping away most of his power, he exhibited a state of 'high attack and low defense'.

He can summon the overwhelming power of the Origin Universe at any time.

He can wield the Seven Deadly Sins anytime, anywhere, and use a corner of the Origin Universe to sever all enemies. The Present Moment Origin Universe has already achieved a true leap in scale. If the Seven Deadly Sins were to appear simultaneously, even if Chaos were to descend at his peak, Rovi would be confident in his ability to fight against him.

The Seven Deadly Sins are his own power, not something external or borrowed; no one can take them away from him.

But his physical body is still 'human'.

While it's true that a beginner is powerful, normally one shouldn't be able to break through the barrier with just a fall.

After all, no matter how powerful someone is, they are still a 'human'.

All I can say is that this Singularity Point is incredibly fragile...

Luo Rovi was already used to all sorts of unexpected events, so she accepted them calmly.

"Fortunately, the natural healing power of the world is still sufficient."

Under Azure Sky Curtain, on a vast plain, under the Blazing Sun, Rovi stood up, patted his knees, and looked at the scenery that had returned to normal.

With the world's restorative power manifested, his fall did not have a significant impact on the world's material properties.

Most people only felt the ground shaking.

"Cough cough cough..." A low cough came from the side, and as the smoke and dust dissipated, Mash and Ritsuka's figures were revealed.

"Senior... you're not alright, are you?"

"Phew, I'm not alright. How are you? And... where's the other one?"

"Fou!"

Mash still gripped her shield, the small white beast perched on her shoulder. Her tight-fitting combat suit, clinging to her voluptuous body, was covered in dust, but she seemed unharmed... The impact had seemed terrifying, but those who were close by hadn't suffered much damage; Mash's shield had been more than enough to withstand it, though she was a little disheveled...

Ritsuka, standing behind Mash, was in slightly better shape than Mash, but she still looked quite disheveled, her white Master uniform also covered in broken dust.

After confirming there was no mishap, they looked at Rovi again...

Rovi happened to look over as well.

"No, right?"

"No way... you're scaring me too much!" Ritsuka immediately protested.

The little white beast raised its paw. "Foufufufu!"

"Senior, Mr. Rovi, also helped us..." Mash silently tugged at Ritsuka's sleeve.

Ritsuka knew, of course, that Rovi was helping them, and that the evil dragon Fafnir, whom Rovi had dealt with, was clearly a major obstacle to their repair of the Singularity Point.

However, Ritsuka tilted her head. "But it is indeed scary."

This time, Mash didn't refute it, after all, it was truly terrifying... Just a moment ago, they almost thought the world was about to end.

"So, as compensation—"

Ritsuka looked at Rovi, tilted her head, and smiled slightly with her red, moist lips. "Please, help us repair the Singularity Point!"

This is certainly not compensation.

Ritsuka also knew that Rovi didn't owe them anything.

Ritsuka just needed a reason... a reason to get closer to each other.

"As expected of the last Master of Last of Humanity who entered the mysterious realm as an ordinary person and lived peacefully for two years." Rovi smiled. Two years of walking on thin ice was indeed enough for Ritsuka to hone her ability to read people.

"You said, this is also what I want to do."

"So, let's fight side by side!" Ritsuka her fist in response. "Don't underestimate us just because we're weak. We might just be able to play a crucial role when it matters most!"

"Then please guide me?"

"Um!"

"Fou!"

"I will also try my best, senior, Mr. Rovi!"

Mash spoke in a panic.

Ritsuka wanted to say something, but suddenly noticed the ground trembling again.

This time, of course, it won't be the kind of cataclysmic scene that happened when Rovi fell before.

Instead, Fafnir was once again swept away by the immense force, burying the evil dragon beneath the massive boulders not far away, which then awoke.

Of course, a fully-formed top-tier Dragon Kind cannot be killed in one blow. In some ways, it is even more robust than this Singularity Point space, which does not have a high Human Order Foundation Value.

Rovi can smash through the Singularity Point.

The piled-up boulders were overturned, and the raised wings stirred up a black storm. Fafnir, the evil dragon from Norse Mythology, let out a roar...

Then, she froze the moment her eyes met Rovi's.

—The moment Rovi awoke, he appeared before Fafnir, instantly dashing Fafnir's hopes of escaping.

The roaring dragon's cry instantly turned into a low whimper.

Are you moved?

I dare not move! I dare not move!

The most Dragon Kind, which had ravaged the long ages of Mythic Age and was a being that would fear even the heroes who slayed it, dared not move at this moment.

Someone tripped and crashed through a Singularity Point... What kind of monster is this?!

"I'll give you two choices," Rovi smiled, ignoring the inner wailing of the evil dragon Fafnir: "Die, or be a dog."

When a dog...?

Fafnir couldn't hold back his anger: "Humans—"

"Although you are strong, I am the strongest and most evil Dragon Kind from the Mythic Age. I am Fafnir..."

"Don't go too far!"

Rovi raised his fist.

Fafnir instantly stuck out its tongue and barked, almost as if it were a madman. "Woof!"

"See, isn't that quite skillful?"

"..."

Fafnir swore that what He had just done was absolutely not what He intended to do.

It was just a subconscious action.

The moment Rovi raised his fist... he actually had the illusion that he wasn't human, but a dog!

"Hmm...it's not an illusion." Rovi saw through what He was thinking, "On a certain timeline, you really did become my dog."

Rovi's eyes suddenly lit up with the light of lava, flashing with endless storms...

Christ? The Son?

wrong.

"You are... the Wild Hunt from Northern Europe!?"

The King of the Wild Hunt.

Originally defined as a side view of Odin, in the evolution of later mythology, it gradually became the name of a Supreme Deity who transcends Odin... If this is the one, then being like a dog to Him is nothing.

No, I am a dragon.

Fafnir shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions.

Yes,

He is a dragon!

He is the noble and wicked Fafnir—

The pitch-black evil dragon flapped its wings and rose, raising its long neck and its huge dragon head glaring fiercely, as if it wanted to roar.

He said, "Woof! Woof! Woof!"

He also said, "Woof woof woof!"

He said, "Woof!"

He stopped talking.

No fucking to say.

"..."

"Mash, Mash, can you hear that? The dog is barking!"

"Fou!"

"Senior!"

Mash looked at Ritsuka, who had suddenly become inexplicably excited, and felt rather helpless.

Although she really wanted to laugh.

Let him laugh... Fafnir tried to roar several times, but what came out of his mouth was just a dog's bark.

He gave up the struggle.

"What do you want me to do?" He looked at Rovi, his voice seemingly tough, but his attitude had actually softened.

It's useless if it's not soft.

You can't beat them, and you can't escape them.

However, this time Rovi doesn't actually intend to make Fafnir a dog.

"You are the mark of the Dragon Witch."

"Now, France in this Singularity Point has been conquered by the Dragon Witch, and this land has her own forces, and people who follow the name of ' Jeanne '." These are all things that Rovi already knew.

It is only natural that the Primordial Human, the Star-Creating God, could understand the principles of the world with a single thought.

"So--"

"So, you intend to use my existence to control the 'witch's' power?" Fafnir narrowed his eyes. "With your power... is it necessary to do this?"

"Have."

Because Rovi came here not to repair the Singularity Point.

It was to save this 'dead' world.

Repairing the Singularity Point was a piece of cake for him.

Saving the world is a difficult task.

Therefore, Singularity Point cannot be repaired... on the contrary, they must be expanded!

"Seek truth in the face of death, ignite the Singularity Point, and transform the Singularity Point into the life-or-death flame of this world."

This was Rovi's plan.

Of course, he also knew that the Dragon Witch —or rather, the one who summoned the Dragon Witch— would not obey his commands.

Since that's the case.

So why not simply replace the location of the ' Dragon Witch ' Singularity Point source...?

I know what you're trying to say.

"What causes Singularity Point must be the 'original existence' that belongs to the Singularity Point."

"I can't do it, and neither can you."

"There is someone who can."

Rovi stared directly into the golden dragon eyes before him, which at the same time reflected the figure running across the land in the distance.

It came rushing in like a whirlwind.

The Fleur-de-lis Banner he held fluttered wildly in the wind.

She was a pretty young girl wearing a black robe and silver armor, with a silver headband on her forehead.

Her appearance was exactly the same as that of the Dragon Witch who commanded Fafnir.

It should be said that the appearance of the Dragon Witch was exactly the same as that of the figure that was walking towards her.

she is...

"The real Joan of Arc?"

The evil dragon Fafnir narrowed his golden dragon eyes, a glint of light flashing within them.

Jeanne.

In addition, there's ' Fafnir '.

Replacing the Dragon Witch's position... is an easy matter.

"It seems that what you want to do is quite interesting... Saint!"

Why did Fafnir accept the Dragon Witch's summons?

Because the Dragon Witch is Gilles de Rais's imagined Jeanne of Arc, a fictional being harboring resentment towards the world.

It is a symbol of 'evil'.

And what about the person in front of you?

The Son of God, active at the beginning of the Common Era... He was a saint, but also a sinner who bore the sins of the world.

If we talk about 'evil'...

Rovi is the epitome of true evil.

Great good can be Great Evil.

"In that case..."

"Then I'll play along with you for a bit!"

"Woof woof woof!"

The core of the French Singularity.

"He hasn't returned yet, and there's been no news..." Sitting in the Golden Hall, the silver-haired witch with black hair opened her golden eyes, a strange unease creeping into her heart: "The evil dragon Fafnir— "

Before her stood different figures.

It is not a person.

Rather, they are Heroic Spirit summoned by Gilles de Rais using the 'Holy Grail'.
