I had holed up in the Tower of End for over fifteen hundred years!

The only difference was that the other party's Clairvoyance could see part of the future.

He could only see the present, which was equivalent to freely browsing the entire internet and looking at whatever he wanted.

Aside from the very top-tier Heroic Spirits, no one could resist his prying eyes.

Merlin stared at the illusory screen before him with great interest. "I never expected the Uploader Alaya to actually be the real Alaya!"

The mysterious Uploader Alaya had first posted Vengeful Witch, which was related to Joan, and then The Perfect King, which was related to King Arthur.

Those two videos had completely proven that the other party was indeed the Human Collective Consciousness, Alaya.

That was precisely why he had wanted to become a virtual streamer—to see what that fellow was really planning.

Nameless seemed to be her favorite agent.

He wondered whether that girl would come looking for trouble with him.

"Huh, The Perfect King updated with an Extra Story?"

Merlin instinctively wanted to open it.

As a result,

a prompt popped up above—

[You do not have permission to watch!]

???

Merlin was genuinely shocked. He possessed Clairvoyance, so he could see whatever he wanted. How could he possibly lack the necessary permissions?

Not only could he not watch it, even the name of the Extra Story video was *****!

Even more terrifyingly, all related discussions and conversations had been reduced to garbled censored text!

All related compilation videos were either black screens or mosaics.

The sound was missing as well, replaced by crackling static.

"What did I do wrong to make you target me like this?"

Merlin was completely baffled.

Nightmares fed on human dreams, ruthlessly exploiting humanity.

He, on the other hand, possessed human emotions.

Kindness, gentleness, consideration, conscience... He was practically an anomaly among Nightmares.

Yet now, he had actually been prohibited from watching by Alaya!

"Tsk, fine, I won't watch it. It's probably just a little everyday story about Nameless and Ria anyway."

Merlin shook his head and set it aside.

Considering how much Alaya doted on [Nameless], she would definitely play some related daily-life content to make the audience envious, jealous, and resentful.

Nothing special!

"Earlier, Ria tried to summon Nameless to her side but failed... Since Mordred wants to see Nameless too, I'll kindly help fulfill that wish for you."

The corners of Merlin's mouth rose into an exceptionally pleased smile.

After being cooped up for fifteen hundred years, he had developed a fondness for watching all kinds of interesting events.

For example, having Mordred find Nameless first, then watching King Arthur's expression as she looked like she wanted to kill someone.

Just imagining it made him excited!

To prevent King Arthur from noticing, he contacted her directly through the internet.

He sent a message: "Little Mordred, this is Merlin. Do you want me to help you find Nameless?"

"Get lost!"

Mordred saw the message and replied without hesitation.

That bastard had wanted to watch her make a fool of herself from the very beginning.

Now he still had the nerve to contact her.

Please, could you act like a decent person for once?

???

Merlin was stunned when he saw the reply. Hadn't Little Mordred liked him quite a lot before?

Why had things turned out like this?

Unwilling to accept it, he sent another message: "I possess Clairvoyance that can see everything in the world. I can definitely find Nameless before your Father King!"

"Not necessary!"

Mordred took a bite of mashed potatoes. They tasted like wax, but she forced herself to swallow.

She had intended to block him, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help replying: "How can I find Nameless?"

As long as she could find Nameless, she was willing to cooperate with this bastard Nightmare!

Then she would make Father King watch her take Nameless away and infuriate her to death!

"Tsk, you took the bait after all. You really can't resist this temptation!"

Merlin's smile instantly became exceptionally radiant.

Little Mordred had probably just acted tsundere earlier—or mistaken him for a fraud.

Aside from Little Mordred, Her Majesty the Emperor of France also really wanted to find Nameless and reminisce with him!

Next.

As long as they could find Nameless, the good show was about to begin~

Achoo~

Wei Gong sneezed and hurriedly pulled his clothes tighter. "Am I just too weak right now, or is someone talking about me?"

When he went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities, he once again saw the frugal Miss Rin.

At that moment, she was standing in front of the meat counter, her beautiful face filled with hesitation and inner conflict.

Wei Gong greeted her with a smile. "Tohsaka, are you here to buy groceries too?"

"Don't misunderstand. I just, I just wanted to experience the life of an ordinary person."

Tohsaka Rin replied with little confidence.

At school, her persona was that of a perfect aristocratic young lady. There was no way she could possibly buy groceries herself.

"An ordinary person like me always grabs the discount coupons first. They make things much cheaper, so I'll give you a few." Wei Gong handed her several coupons.

"I, I don't need them... Fine, thank you."

A blush appeared on Tohsaka Rin's cheeks. The dignified young lady had actually fallen so low that she needed to use discount coupons. How embarrassing!

"Then I'll be going first."

After giving her the coupons, Wei Gong left immediately.

If he stayed any longer, the thin-skinned tsundere young lady wouldn't be able to take it.

After buying his things, he had just entered a small alley when he suddenly saw a familiar white creature.

It possessed an enormous, fluffy fox tail, while its body was shaped like a cat's.

It was a fantastic creature that seemed to have broken through dimensions and descended from fantasy into reality.

At that moment, it was staring unblinkingly at Wei Gong!

It was the same white little beast that Merlin had thrown down in the Extra Story Magician of Flowers—

Fou!

Fou might look like nothing more than a mascot who specialized in acting cute.

In reality, she was the Fourth Beast, who possessed the Sin of [Comparison].

She was an existence on the same level as Demon God King Goetia and the Creation Goddess Tiamat!

Known as the Primate Murderer, she possessed specialized abilities against primates, enough to bring about humanity's extinction!

When such a cute little thing suddenly appeared before you, was it surprising? Unexpected?

Wasn't it thrilling?

"The little one doesn't like crowded places. Since Fou has appeared, Junior Schoolmate should be nearby too, right?"

Wei Gong stared intently at the white little beast.

There was no fear or apprehension in his eyes, only endless longing.

Long time no see.

Back then, he had carried the mission of saving the world bestowed upon him by Alaya and traveled through Human History time and time again. It was Junior Schoolmate and Fou who had accompanied him.

He wondered whether this little cutie could still remember him.

"Fou... Fou (Why do you feel so familiar)?"

The white little beast tilted her head slightly.

As a Primate Murderer powerful enough to exterminate humanity, she had always been indifferent toward humans.

Yet in front of this strange human, she felt an indescribable fondness.

It was as if they had accompanied each other for countless years and traveled through countless worlds!

How strange!

Fou blinked, becoming increasingly confused.

Earlier, Merlin had thrown her down from the twentieth floor of the Tower of End.

Only after tossing her out did that bastard realize that he had thrown her fifteen hundred years too early!

To make up for it, Merlin the Heartless opened a portal at the foot of the tower and placed the exit directly above it.

And so, Fou had remained in free fall there for fifteen hundred years!!!

"Merlin must die!"

The more Fou thought about it, the more she wanted to bite that bastard to death.

After finally escaping her free fall, she had deliberately concealed every trace of herself.

Once she encountered Merlin again, she would definitely make him pay!

But why did she now instinctively want to throw herself into the arms of the young man before her?

Something was wrong!

Something was seriously wrong!

Could this man be an EX-rank [Supreme Charm of the Beautiful Youth]?

"Perhaps we were destined to meet in a previous life."

Wei Palace smiled.

After the world was restarted, even the Fourth Beast had lost the relevant memories.

If Alaya had not exposed him, he really would have continued to remain unknown in silence.

"Fou... Fou (I want to go with you)!"

The white little beast approached with endless confusion and rubbed her little head against his trouser leg.

"Uh..."
