Time Stop! / Form an Alliance

Ramesses II was indeed very strong, but in the eyes of 'Mikaela', who had obtained the power of the Heavenly Punishment God, he was nothing special.

"..." Mikaela, who was holding the Ice Lotus Sword, moved. She appeared in front of everyone in an instant, like an ancient swordswoman.

A cold wind surrounded 'Mikaela', and the surrounding air temperature dropped to its lowest point.

"Is it finally time to make a move?" Ramesses II's expression turned serious. The reason he hadn't formed an alliance immediately was to see just how strong Mikaela really was.

In his view, defeating the Lion King doesn't mean anything; there's a King of Magic above the Lion King.

That was a formidable opponent, and Ramesses II was not very confident that he could seize the future of Human Order from him.

Although the 'clown' dressed as a maid said in the previous conversation that the King of Magic was not a threat at all, was Ramesses II the kind of person who would easily believe the existence of others?

Obviously not, so he wanted to test Mikaela's abilities to see if she was worth his investment.

"Whoosh—!!"

Mikaela, wielding the Ice Lotus Sword, vanished from her spot. Unlike the sword-drawing slash she used against Goetia last time, this time her speed was noticeably several times faster.

"Shuashuashua——!!!"

Countless afterimages of wielding swords surrounded the 'sun,' and at that moment, time seemed to stand still.

"!!!!!!!!!!" Ramesses II's pupils contracted slightly.

'Wow, so fast?! Is this time?! No!!! It seems to be a matter of space!'

"A time fracture? It seems to be lasting longer than last time." Mikaela was quite familiar with this scene, because when he was playing the game, he often controlled a White Comet to use time fracture.

This strange phenomenon did not last long. The next second, countless afterimages of wielding swords launched an attack, slashing towards the 'sun'.

"Clang!"

With a crisp sound of the blade sheathing, 'Mikaela', who was holding the Ice Lotus Sword, returned to her original position. Her body was somewhat ethereal, but she was not seriously injured.

The sun above is shattered into pieces!

In an instant, the outcome was decided.

P. S.: "Ugh, I'm so lazy~~~ I've been so lazy lately, I don't want to write anything~~~"

Chapter 391 Time Stops!

Has time stopped? Has space frozen?

Ramesses II's eyes were filled with shock. He had just been able to assure him that there had been no anomalies in time or space in this area.

He could guarantee this clearly because he was the master of this Grand Temple, and he could sense any movement or disturbance. Nothing could escape his eyes.

Of course! That assassin is different; that assassin has become one with all things, so it's perfectly normal that he can't sense it.

But the 'Mikaela' who just drew her sword definitely did not interfere with time and space.

"Just swordsmanship? Or the effect of that Noble Phantasm?" Ramesses II frowned solemnly. That sun attack was merely a probing attack.

While it was indeed a probing attack, it wasn't particularly powerful.

However, if used to deal with any second-rate Servant, it could probably kill them in one hit.

After all, it was a sun created using its own Divine Authority!

Its attack and defense capabilities are unparalleled.

However... Ramesses II did not believe that such an attack could defeat them.

In his eyes, these 'Mikaela' were already on the same level as the Lion King and that assassin.

How could something of that caliber be defeated by such an attack?

What truly surprised him was that the other party's strike made him subconsciously feel that the other party had used the power of time and space.

When he finally realized what was happening, he discovered that his opponent hadn't used either of those powers, but had simply used swordsmanship to cut down the 'sun' he had condensed with Divine Authority.

This was utterly impossible, at least in Ramesses II's understanding.

"How is this possible? The power of a mortal! To be able to shoot down the sun?!"

Not only Ramesses II, but even Nitocris looked on in disbelief as she watched the sun being shattered.

It's as if this kind of thing could never happen.

For Nitocris, the shock of this event was second only to the beheading of Ramesses II by a mysterious assassin.

From their last meeting, Nitocris probably already guessed that Mikaela was far stronger than the hero who smiled like a child.

But she truly hadn't expected this guy to be so incredibly powerful! Even the 'sun' created by the Pharaoh of Pharaohs, Lord Osymandias, was shot down?

In less than a second, the other side destroyed that sun?!

"..." Holding the Ice Lotus Sword, 'Mikaela' ignored Ramesses II. He silently returned to 'himself' and said calmly, "Weak. There's no need to go all out."

"#####"

Ramesses II's forehead veins bulged. He laughed in fury, gripped his scepter tightly, and said coldly, "It seems I need to teach you a lesson, to show you what a 'Pharaoh' really is!"

"He is indeed very weak, much weaker than Goetia." 'Mikaela,' holding the Nietono no Shana, said in a very calm tone, "Now let's have a proper discussion about how to 'go home,' let's forget about this guy."

Clearly, now that he holds the 'Mikaela' of the Nietono no Shana, he is more interested in returning home. As for Ramesses II?

He's not even a true god, nor is he a Heroic Spirit; he's merely Servant!

Someone like him, wielding the 'Mikaela' of the Nietono no Shana, felt he could take on the Heavenly Punishment God single-handedly without using the power of the Heavenly Punishment God.

It should be noted that in another world, the 'Mikaela' wielding the Nietono no Shana has already killed more than one being with the power of a first-rate god.

"Let's go home. We already discussed this last time. Let's defeat him first. He's an ally I want to win over." Mikaela from this world said with a sigh.

I don't know why, but I always feel that the atmosphere becomes strange after 'we' start to speak.

"An ally? To deal with the Lion King? There's no need for that." 'Mikaela', holding the Black Stone Longsword, frowned slightly. She said calmly, "You go directly into the Holy City, then give us some of your magic power, and I can kill him head-on."

"If it's just the Lion King, then you, who have gathered our strength, have no need to win him over." 'Mikaela,' holding the Gae Bolg, spoke calmly, even though she was somewhat reluctant to deal with the Lion King.

However, sometimes there's nothing that can be done about it.

The other 'Mikaela' nodded in agreement. They naturally sensed that 'they' had already acquired considerable magical power and could now easily conquer this Singularity.

"Arrogant!"

Ramesses II had been ignored and scorned all along, finally became enraged. He waved his scepter, and dozens of scorching rays of sunlight emerged from the pyramid, rushing towards the 'Mikaela'.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that there was no need for any alliances; he should just kill these guys!

"Snap!"

With Pocket Watch hanging from her waist and Silver Dagger in her hand, 'Mikaela' pressed the button on the Pocket Watch.

"Careful!"

The next instant, Nitocris suddenly realized something, turned around abruptly, and looked toward Ramesses II's position.

"Shuashuashua——!!!"

Countless Silver Dagger swirled around Ramesses II. He seemed to have just realized what was happening, his pupils contracted slightly, and he subconsciously reached out his hand.

"Bang bang bang—!!"

Ramesses II threw a rapid punch, as if he had been specially trained, knocking down most of the Silver Dagger surrounding him.

"Buzz—!!"

A scorching beam of light appeared beside Ramesses II, knocking down some Silver Dagger that were hidden in blind spots.

"Hmph! You rude scoundrel! Do you really think such a petty trick can harm me?!"

Although cold sweat was beading on his forehead, Ramesses II still feigned composure and said, "At the moment you stopped time, although I could not move, I saw your movements clearly."

"I understand." 'Mikaela,' holding Silver Dagger and Pocket Watch at her waist, said calmly, "In the Grand Temple, you are no less than a god. This kind of time stop without laws cannot cause you much harm."

"However, I thought you were going to yell 'World' and then attack me."

With Pocket Watch hanging from her waist, 'Mikaela' said something that left Ramesses II looking puzzled.

"He doesn't understand, stop forcing the reference." The 'Mikaela' in the kimono sighed, her red eyes staring at the 'Mikaela' wearing the Pocket Watch. "Besides, there are no 'arrows' in this world, so it's impossible for him to obtain a Stand."

"I know." Mikaela, with Pocket Watch hanging from her waist, said in a rather subtle tone, "But I've been staying in Gensokyo for too long and I'm getting really bored, so I'm just going to make a few jokes since I rarely come out. And with you guys around, it doesn't matter whether he understands or not."

P. S.: "I'll definitely try my best to update next month! Let me slack off now!"

Chapter 392 Alliance

The two 'Mikaela' were chatting idly, while Ramesses II's anger gradually subsided, and he sneered, "What a bunch of inexplicable fellows."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ramesses II sat on his throne, seemingly no longer wanting to fight.

"Lord Osymandias?" Nitocris looked at Ramesses II, who had sat down again, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. Weren't they going to continue fighting?

"Let me make this clear beforehand: I am not afraid of your strength, but I have already witnessed a portion of it." Ramesses II sat on his throne, his gaze calm as he looked at the rows of 'Mikaela', his eyes containing an inexplicable complexity.

"Unparalleled swordsmanship, a being who controls time, and... Grand from another world."

Ramesses II narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on the three figures—the one holding the Black Long Key, the one named Nietono no Shana, and the one dressed in a kimono named 'Mikaela' —and said calmly, "Moreover, I sensed the aura of extremely powerful beings emanating from the three of you."

"Although I have to admit it, if my main body hadn't descended, I seem to have no chance of defeating you 'clones' who came here from different world lines and timelines."

"So, you've admitted defeat?" Mikaela from this world seemed relieved; he didn't want to deplete Ramesses II's existing power.

The other party is an important figure in the attack on the Lion King. If he has exhausted most of his strength, then why would Mikaela come to win him over?

It would be better to gather the existing forces and launch a direct attack on the Holy City. This would be much easier and less strenuous than recruiting Ramesses II.

"Instead of admitting defeat, we will become allies." Ramesses II leaned back on his throne and said with a smile, "True Self intend to make things difficult for you. I just wanted to show the might of a 'king' in front of the hero. But I didn't expect to find myself in this awkward situation. This reminds me of my brother."

"Moses?" Mikaela said calmly.

The only person Ramesses II could call a brother was Moses.

"That's right." Ramesses II said calmly, "Actually, your eyes also remind me of Moses. You have a strange sense of mission about you. Although I don't know what you are pursuing, you are not a hero, or rather... you are more suited to chores and pleasing others than fighting."

Why did Gilgamesh and Ramesses II call Mikaela a clown when they saw him?

Besides being able to see his soul, there is another crucial point.

That is, Mikaela is the kind of person who should least go to the battlefield. He should stay at home and live his life peacefully and quietly like an ordinary person.

Moses was like that; rather than being the so-called spokesperson for God, he longed for a peaceful and ordinary life.

As his brother, Ramesses II was able to understand him and respect his decisions.

However, things are unpredictable, and by fate's arrangement, he eventually embarked on that thorny and difficult path.

So now, upon seeing Mikaela, Ramesses II felt as if he were seeing the figure of his brother again.

The difference between the two is that one has already completed its mission, while the other continues to walk this arduous path.

"If you agree to the alliance, then I should leave." Mikaela was too lazy to waste words with Ramesses II. He turned his head and said calmly, "Although I don't know what you see in us, I agree with your opinion that I am indeed not suited for fighting."

"Although we have killed gods and monsters, been to heaven and hell, and looked directly at the Outer Gods, becoming messengers of hell and the will of collapse, we do yearn for a peaceful life, just like a certain Yoshikage Kira who likes to talk nonsense~" 'Mikaela', with Pocket Watch hanging from her waist, kept talking nonsense.

"???"

The other 'Mikaela' turned around and looked at this 'Mikaela' with great confusion.

What's wrong? Something's definitely not right with you.

Compared to 'Mikaela,' who Enma Ai pregnant, why do you like to talk dirty?

"Don't look at me like that. I don't have many people to chat with in Gensokyo. It's rare for me to come out, so I naturally want to chat to my heart's content. The last few times I appeared, I was either banned or fighting a terrible enemy, so I didn't say anything. Now that I've finally met a relatively weak one, I naturally want to talk to myself to my heart's content."

The 'Mikaela' with Pocket Watch hanging from his waist shrugged. He had clearly been spoiled in Gensokyo and was not struggling to survive like the other 'Mikaela'.

"Weak?" Ramesses II's forehead veins bulged again. He really wanted to turn on the Mikaela and fight them for three hundred rounds.

However, considering that his Grand Temple could not contain their 'Noble Phantasm', and that his injuries had not yet fully healed, plus the fact that he would have to fight the Lion King later, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

"You can say whatever you want, but why do you like using memes so much?"

Now that they were allied, the other 'Mikaela' members started chatting. One of the 'Mikaela' members, dressed in a kimono, remarked somewhat exasperatedly, "Have you been holding back for too long?"

"Ah~ After all, how should I put it? I don't know how to describe it. You'll know if you ever 'accidentally' go to Gensokyo." 'Mikaela', with Pocket Watch hanging from her waist, said with a smile.

"Come on, I don't have time to go to Gensokyo." Holding the 'Mikaela' of Nietono no Shana, she said with a hint of exasperation, "I'm quite envious of your carefree life. I have a ton of things to do here."

"I'm traveling," said 'Mikaela', who was holding Black Long Key.
