Chapter 401
Kid, I hope you can still laugh after reading this!
As everyone waited with bated breath, the time finally struck midnight.
The long-awaited anime series, Temple of Time: Grand Order, has officially premiered.
The live chat exploded with comments, and the number of online viewers skyrocketed.
[It's here! Finally, we'll see that bastard King Solomon get utterly thrashed!]
[Hehe, I've been looking forward to this for so long! I've already prepared a birthday cake, let's celebrate while we eat!]
[You damned King Solomon, I curse you to be hung up and beaten by Nameless! Hurry up!]
[Today, the exclusive filming of <Temple of Time: Grand Order> by Alaya is released. I, Gudako, will play the final Master, defeat King Solomon, and save the world!]
[The moment of King Solomon's Public Execution has arrived! The mighty Grand Caster will be publicly humiliated and humiliated in front of everyone. Just thinking about it makes me laugh out loud!]
The video finally started playing.
Strangely, what appeared on the screen was not Chaldea, but a burning city.
It looked like the ruins of a fierce battle.
A line of narration pops up--
[Prologue begins!]
This is how it all began.
Amidst the endless ruins, a strange man, beaming with pride, declared, "Well done, King Solomon! You've finally dealt with the remaining six Masters!"
Above its head was a line of names --
[Marisbury Animusphere]
A person who is completely unknown, yet seems to have immense significance.
Before him stood King Solomon!
Contrary to what the audience expected, the opponent was still in the form of an ordinary Heroic Spirit, showing no signs of the evil and terror that could destroy human time.
King Solomon stood silently to one side, showing no excitement or joy, like a puppet.
"The Holy Grail War has ended in our victory. All that's left is to use Command Spell to allow you to commit suicide, and the ritual will be complete."
Marisbury continued, "By filling this Grand Holy Grail with the souls of seven Servant, we can complete the Third True Magic, thereby reaching the Root and gaining the power to perform all miracles."
"King Solomon, this is a necessary sacrifice. You should be willing, right?"
Everyone was stunned.
Once the birds are all gone, the bow is put away; once the rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked.
This has happened countless times throughout history.
Countless generals and ministers accompanied emperors in conquering the country, only to be executed by the emperors after they had established their rule.
But this is King Solomon!
How could the other party possibly agree?
However.
Something unexpected happened.
"Of course. Although the redemption and growth of humanity are not tasks assigned to me, humanity yearns for growth, and I have no intention of stopping it."
Solomon calmly replied, "I only need to do what I need to do, just as I did in life, and I am destined to commit suicide under the Master's Command Spell."
It showed no signs of resistance from beginning to end.
Like a real--
Doll!
They believe whatever others say, completely lacking any independent thought.
Ilya stared blankly and said, "Is this really King Solomon?"
As a Magecraft with exceptional talent.
She knew perfectly well that Magecraft was the path to the pursuit of truth.
The more powerful Magecraft, the further they go on the path of seeking truth, and the more terrifying their wisdom becomes.
King Solomon, standing at the pinnacle of Magecraft, surpassing all other Magecraft, is known as—
[King of Magecraft!]
It can be described as omniscient and omnipotent, possessing the Clairvoyance to see the past and future, and crushing the King of Heroes and the Magician of Flowers.
How could such an incomparably powerful being be manipulated by anyone?
"That's unbelievable, has he lost his mind?" Luo Ya asked, equally puzzled.
I simply cannot understand the other person's thought process.
If one is at the mercy of others, what use is great power?
If you can't even possess yourself, then your life has no value!
If she were King Solomon, she would undoubtedly use overwhelming power to freely realize all her dreams.
They would not hesitate to take the path of antagonism against the entire world.
Might makes right!
In this respect, she felt that she was somewhat similar to King Solomon after his fall from grace.
Perhaps this is the yearning for power and dreams.
However, that guy really went astray.
Since she had no power at all, she couldn't possibly have gone astray.
Wei Gong was not surprised at all.
He'd known that guy for so long, long enough to know him better than he knew anything else.
What an adorable fool!
The video continues.
Marisbury Billy laughed heartily, "Haha, I was just kidding. I can't possibly offer you, such a great contributor, to the Holy Grail, nor can I use Command Spell. Besides, Command Spell are useless to you."
Before the mighty King Solomon, even the most powerful Command Spell had no binding force whatsoever!
Because.
The opponent is the king of Magecraft!
All Magecraft and all contracts were seen through by the other party at a glance.
Even the third True Magic that created the Holy Grail War, the Cup of Heaven, could not truly bind the opponent.
Give them some time, and they'll master it!
However, they have absolutely no interest in it!
Marisbury looked at the silent king and laughed, "I don't believe in the miracles touted by the Einzbern family. The Soul Materialization, the super-evolution of humanity—it's all just wishful thinking! I will only research alone and reach the root!"
"So, what do you want?" Solomon asked calmly.
When it opens its mouth.
A series of narrations popped up--
[Solomon: He didn't know this was the last time he would joke.]
It is precisely this Clairvoyance to see through the past and future that allows it to have everything under its control!
Marisbury replied, "You might laugh when I say this, but faced with this miraculous Holy Grail that can grant any wish, all I want is money. I need an immense fortune, enough to truly complete Chaldeas!"
"This is not funny. You probably don't have much time left to live," Solomon replied.
He possesses the Clairvoyance to see into the future, allowing him to instantly foresee that someone's life is about to end.
Participating in the Holy Grail War was solely for the purpose of activating Chaldeas while still alive.
Everything was for the sake of creating a base to protect Human Order.
"Haha, I knew I couldn't fool you. Just treat this Holy Grail War as a victory for Saber and her Master Emiya, and use that to deceive those Magecraft."
Marisbury laughed, "To protect Human Order, I'm willing to sacrifice everything. I must activate Chaldea no matter what! To uncover the truth behind humanity's future end!"
One sentence was enough to amaze all the audience.
[Wow, so Chaldea, which the Nameless One joined, was actually founded by him after participating in the Holy Grail War!]
[The First Director was awesome! He was the ultimate powerhouse, able to summon King Solomon to conquer the Holy Grail War and fulfill his wish!]
[Holy crap, so which Holy Grail War is this? Did Nameless participate too?]
[So, did the first Director of Chaldea know that the King Solomon he summoned would cause a devastating catastrophe in Human History?]
He clearly didn't know. But King Solomon definitely did; this guy was indeed the biggest traitor!
Indeed, Solomon understood all of Solomon's intentions from the very beginning. It was only natural that he later ignited Human History and nearly wiped out humanity; thankfully, there was the Nameless One!
In the repeated exposure videos of [Alaya].
Chaldea, which was originally just a place to mediate disputes among Heroic Spirit, has long since become a well-known guardian of Human Order.
This is also where the nameless one became Master.
The beginning of everything!
But no one expected that the ultimate boss, King Solomon, would actually help establish Chaldea!
Luo Ya's expression turned strange for a moment. "Three years after three years, could King Solomon have gone to Chaldea to become a traitor and infiltrate the ranks?"
"This... doesn't seem impossible," Ilya replied, equally stunned.
That's incredible.
The opening prologue gives everyone a huge surprise.
Chaldea, which opposes King Solomon and protects humanity, was actually founded with King Solomon's assistance!
Would anyone have believed this before?
"I suspect there will be unexpected twists later," Wei Gong said with a slight smile.
This is just the beginning.
What follows will absolutely blow your mind!
I hope you're not scared.
The three little girls' eyes lit up, and they became even more excited.
Ilya frowned slightly. "So, which Holy Grail War is this exactly?"
The other party mentioned that Emiya and Saber also participated.
She, too, was a participant in this Holy Grail War, yet she had no recollection of it.
Could he have been easily defeated by the opponent?
Ilya felt a pang of heartache at the thought.
I truly feel sorry for physics!
Don't forget, back in the Holy Grail War, the corrupted, Chūnibyō Flash wanted to rip out her heart to use as the fuse to activate the Grand Holy Grail!
Even Heracles, whom she regarded as the strongest Heroic Spirit, was completely unable to stop her and was utterly countered by the Enkidu.
If Wei Gong hadn't arrived, the enemy would have completely succeeded.
Could it have succeeded in other Timeline?
"Could it be that she replaced the witch Medea and became a participant in the Holy Grail War in another parallel storyline?" Miyu asked tentatively.
Time is a river with countless branches.
