The Green-Hatted Fool
Rumble, rumble!!
A violent earthquake erupted within the Great Hollow, shaking the cavern. Su Mo, whose expression had already been grim, frowned even deeper.
"Damn Saber. I clearly gave her the Holy Grail, yet she still wanted to preserve this era. She really made me go through a lot of trouble."
As he spoke, a trace of disgust flashed across Lev's face. "But it doesn't matter anymore. Everything is over, whether it's humanity's existence... or all of you!"
"What do you mean? Professor Lev—no... Lev Lainur! What does this have to do with our inability to observe 2016?" Roman, who had remained silent until now, suddenly stepped forward and demanded an answer from Lev.
"It isn't a matter of connection. It is an already concluded fact. Chaldea is useless now. At this very moment, humanity has already perished. No one can change this ending, because human history itself has denied humanity's existence!"
Lev spread his arms and proclaimed it loudly, as though reading out a king's decree!
"It wasn't that you reached the end of evolution and began to decline, nor was it that you were destroyed in war against other races. It was simply—your existence had no meaning!"
"That's right, because of your incompetence! You lost the favor of our King. Like worthless scraps of paper, burn away without leaving a trace!"
As his words fell, the tremors in the space grew increasingly violent. Su Mo could tell that this Singularity was not far from total collapse.
"Dr. Roman, stop standing around! Hurry and begin the Spiritron Transfer! Send us back!" Su Mo shouted at Roman, who had fallen silent.
"I'm already doing it, but I'm sorry. The collapse on your side will happen faster, and the director..." Roman stopped typing on the keyboard and fell silent once more.
"Wait... then what about the director?" Mash widened her eyes and looked at Olga Marie.
"I don't want to die in a place like this." Hearing Mash's words, Olga Marie finally broke down in tears. "No one has praised me... no one has acknowledged me. I haven't done anything. From the day I was born until now, I've never... never received anyone's acknowledgment... How can I die in a place like this?!"
Watching all this, Su Mo felt terrible. He desperately tried to think of a way to bring the director back to Chaldea without her consciousness dissipating.
"Who said you were allowed to leave? None of you will leave here alive, especially you—Su Mo!" Lev had already drawn upon the power of the Holy Grail in his hand, staring at Su Mo with an incomparably sharp gaze.
"Huh? Why? What did I ever do to you?" The moment Su Mo heard that this green-hatted man intended to kill him, fury surged within him.
"As a Master, you possess the power of a Heroic Spirit—and not the power of an ordinary Heroic Spirit, either. Letting you return to Chaldea would surely affect my plans. Therefore, I must eliminate an extremely unstable factor like you!" As Lev spoke, he began preparing magecraft.
"Since you dare speak to my Master—"
Kiyohime was about to teach Lev a lesson for insulting Su Mo, but before she could act, Su Mo raised a hand and shouted, "Hold it! Please hear me out!"
The Great Hollow had already entered the collapse stage, so fighting Lev now would be an extremely unwise choice. More importantly, Lev still held the Holy Grail. This was completely different from the game, and the situation was exceptionally unfavorable for them!
"Oh? Are you begging me for mercy?" Lev stopped what he was doing and studied Su Mo with interest.
"Dr. Roman, calculate how long until the Spiritron Transfer can begin?" Su Mo spoke to Roman while keeping a wary eye on Lev.
"Thirty seconds..."
"Thirty seconds, huh?" With that in mind, Su Mo hurriedly took Mash's shield, then tore off the entire pocket from his shirt, fashioned it into a bag, and threw it to the director. "Director, once the Spiritron Transfer begins, grip this bag tightly and sit on Mash's shield. This is the only hope of ensuring your consciousness won't dissipate when you return to Chaldea."
"Wait, what are you planning to do...?"
"There's no time to explain. The spatial collapse is getting worse and worse."
"Boy, how dare you ignore me?" As he spoke, Lev began to act again.
