Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking

After all, it was the First Beast, and it had been plotting to burn away Humanity's Order for so long. In addition, with its "anti-summoning" ability, the Heroic Spirit could not harm it in the slightest.

It can be said that this is a situation with almost no solution.

In the original storyline, Roman was ultimately able to defeat Goetia by self-destructing.

But--

The people here are not Heroic Spirit.

The anti-summoning ability grants immunity to all Heroic Spirit's attacks, but most of the people standing here are beasts.

No matter how strong Goetia is, it cannot withstand the combined attack of all the beasts.

Lan Ze took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

He gripped the hilt of Excalibur and saw Gorgon and the others not far ahead. They didn't seem to be seriously injured, which relieved Lan Ze slightly.

There are still at least thirty or forty Demon God Pillar remaining. Although they are troublesome, the problem will be solved once Goetia is dealt with...

"Can we go in now?"

Suddenly, a girl's voice came from behind. Ryougi Shiki raised the fruit knife in her hand and pointed it at Goetia, her Mystic Eyes shining with an eerie light like the starry sky.

Out of the corner of his eye, Aizawa suddenly noticed the fruit knife in Ryougi Shiki Lan Ze's hand... and the apple peel on the blade!

This startled Lan Ze, who wondered what was going on...?

Did Sister Shi forget to find a weapon when she went out and just bring a small knife with her?

But why is there still apple peel...?

As he was thinking this, he heard chewing sounds coming from beside him. He turned his head slightly and saw that the seemingly harmless Mother of All next to him was holding a small piece of apple and putting it in her mouth, munching on it while staring at Goetia.

"I will find its death line and kill it." Ryougi Shiki pointed her fruit knife at Goetia, her voice icy.

Oh... looks like you peeled an apple for Mother of All before you came over?

Lan Ze was so embarrassed he wanted to cover his face. He thought to himself, "Shi-jie, although what you said is cool, it's a little weird that you said it while holding a fruit knife that you just used to cut an apple for Mother of All."

Fortunately, Goetia didn't notice this detail; rather, it was under so much pressure that it couldn't pay attention to such small details.

As Lan Ze secretly observed Goetia was also observing Lan Ze... and the beasts.

Its usually cold, beastly eyes now stared at the people in its field of vision with a hint of surprise.

At that moment, Goetia suddenly felt as if he had woken up to find himself at odds with the entire world.

The beasts are all independent of each other, and they generally don't have any conflicts unless there's a conflict of interest. Let alone a situation like this, where several beasts are ganging up on one beast.

All of this is because of the boy standing at the very front.

Goetia's cold, beastly eyes stared at the group before him, his gaze sweeping over the beasts, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

Even the most arrogant person would feel some apprehension upon seeing this scene, and Goetia was no exception.

"I must admit, you have indeed exceeded my expectations," Goetia suddenly said.

Then, in the next instant, it made a move that surprised everyone.

He turned and sprinted in the opposite direction from Lan Ze, a ball of light quietly forming in his hand, which he then hurled towards Minamoto no Raikō!

Yes, after assessing the current situation, it came to a conclusion.

--Let's get out of here first!

This action caught everyone completely off guard, because in everyone's mind, a proud being like Goetia would not stoop to running away.

At the same moment that Goetia turned around, Lan Ze also moved.

Before the ball of light could even hit Minamoto no Raikō, Lan Ze had already swung Excalibur first. With a single strike, a brilliant golden beam of light and the ball of light exploded in mid-air, a scorching shockwave spreading outwards. A gust of wind whipped Lan Ze's hair across his forehead as he flashed to Minamoto no Raikō 'Minamoto no Raikō side, embracing him in one arm, and Excalibur once more.

The golden beam of light seemed to pierce through the night sky, and like a forty-meter-long cleaver, it pressed down on Goetia, who was attacking him.

No one present could have guessed that Goetia would choose to retreat, but Lan Ze was different... because if he were in such a situation, he would also choose to retreat.

In the distance, Mashu gripped her shield tightly, standing in front of her Master, her eyes filled with shock as she watched the scene unfold, a sense of dread washing over her.

Not only Mashu, but also Ritsuka, and even the staff and doctors currently in Chaldea, had cold sweat beading on their foreheads.

This wasn't just out of fear of Goetia, but also out of fear of Lan Ze.

After all, Fuyuki now has a total of six beasts besides Goetia!

And this doesn't even include Gorgon and Ryougi Shiki, who also possess extremely high combat power!

This is a terrifying concept. If these beasts wanted to destroy Humanity's Order would probably have been destroyed at least twice by now.

Normally, a single beast is already quite despairing... At least until now, the people of Chaldea have not found a way to deal with Goetia.

Because of the Goetia incident, the people of Chaldea have been unable to sleep at night, with only Roman remaining somewhat calm.

After all, the worst-case scenario when facing Goetia is to use one's Noble Phantasm to perish together with Goetia.

But now... seeing so many beasts, even Roman was somewhat frightened, so much so that he didn't even notice the coffee he spilled on his trouser leg. He just stared intently at the scene on the screen, his eyes filled with seriousness.

Continuing this fight is torture for Goetia, but it's also a tremendous torment for them.

Moreover... Fuyuki City cannot withstand a battle of this level.

If the Beast were to make its move here, even if it managed to defeat Goetia, this Singularity would likely be rendered completely irreparable.

But the situation had become so volatile that it could no longer be stopped... As Roman thought this, his eyes were fixed on the screen, and he sighed softly to himself.

On the other side, after being blocked by Lan Ze, Goetia was unable to escape immediately, so it unleashed its anger on Lan Ze, throwing punch after punch.

Lan Ze felt an immense sense of oppression creeping over him, but he did not back down. He simply whispered to Minamoto no Raikō, "Leave here, retreat as far as possible."

This is not a battlefield for Heroic Spirit... at least not when facing Goetia, no matter how many Heroic Spirit there are, it's useless.

It's not that the Heroic Spirit aren't strong enough, it's just that Goetia's abilities are too overpowered.

As he spoke, he raised his Excalibur and met Goetia's incoming fist head-on.

Minamoto no Raikō gazed at the somewhat frail-looking boy, his beautiful eyes flickering slightly. Knowing that he couldn't offer much help from the center of the battlefield, he turned and quickly left the center of the battlefield.

"Come on, Goetia, let's begin our one-on-one battle!" Lan Ze shouted, while simultaneously using Magecraft to signal the others not to approach.

"1v1?" Goetia threw a punch, watching the boy stagger back several steps. His cold, beastly eyes scrutinized Lan Ze's eyes, seemingly finding it hard to believe that the other would suggest a "one-on-one" fight.

But it quickly understood, a mocking glint in its eyes as it looked at Lan Ze, and laughed, "Since you're worried that the aftermath of the battle will completely destroy this city, why bring so many beasts with you?"

Lan Ze stared at it expressionlessly, then pointed to the Great Light Wheel in the sky. "Once you unleash a beam of light in the next battle, the other beasts won't hold back anymore."

At this very moment, a Great Light Wheel in the sky, resembling the sun, was quietly rotating. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the raindrops that approached the Great Light Wheel had not even touched it before turning into steam and evaporating.

That Great Light Wheel was an entity that transformed all of Human History into heat; the destructive power of each strip of light that peeled off was no less than the Noble Phantasm burst of Excalibur.

In other words, once Goetia uses the power of the Great Light Wheel several times, or even peels off dozens of light bands at once, it essentially signifies the destruction of the city.

However, Goetia will not use the light wheel unless pushed to the brink of desperation.

After all, this was something it had painstakingly collected, and Goetia didn't want to see too much light radiance being consumed here.

If he uses the power of the Great Light Wheel multiple times, his goal of burning away Humanity's Order will have to be postponed again.

After all, collecting these light bands would take a very, very long time.

At that moment, Sajyou Manaka, who was some distance away, heard Lan Ze's words telling her to hold back for the time being, and immediately said anxiously, "Don't bother negotiating any terms with it. Let's take this opportunity and finish it off in one go."

Tiamat made an "Aaa" sound. Although she had a lot of confidence in her child, she couldn't help but feel a little worried when she heard him say that.

At that moment, Goetia suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Even without the Great Light Wheel, I can end this battle in five minutes!"

It has the right to say that even without using the power of the Great Light Wheel, no Heroic Spirit could withstand its power as a Beast.

As for Lan Ze's mention of "1V1," it wasn't taken seriously either.

Regardless, if it could take this opportunity to eliminate one of them, it would naturally be more beneficial than harmful to it.

Moreover, this boy is the core of these beasts. If he is killed, these beasts will be leaderless, and it will be much easier to deal with them afterward.

As for the Great Light Wheel...

Even without using the Great Light Wheel, it could easily kill a seemingly weak and frail boy.

As Goetia finished speaking, it suddenly moved, its speed terrifying, but Lan Ze's reaction speed was equally fast, raising his sword to block in front of him.

Goetia slammed a punch into the sword. As expected of Goetia, its close-combat skills were almost on par with another Grand Caster, "The King of Brawlers of Israel." Each punch was accompanied by a terrifying gust of wind that tore through the rain.

Although Lan Ze had anticipated this, he still nearly collapsed when resisting Goetia's attack. His bones seemed to crack and pop, but he gritted his teeth and was constructing the form of a certain Noble Phantasm in his mind.

Sajyou Manaka's gaze seemed calm as she stared at the center of the battlefield, but she unconsciously clenched her small fists, a faint glint in her eyes.

If Lan Ze is in danger, she will disregard the so-called "promise" between Goetia and Lan Ze.

Compared to Fuyuki, who still Humanity's Order, her lover is even more important.

"His idea to protect this city is good, and he has a lot of guts. But without sufficient strength to back it up, he'll just become a laughingstock." The woman in the cheongsam, high heels gleaming, twirled her folding fan as she surveyed the fierce battle from the shadows, and chuckled softly.

"Even without using the Great Light Wheel, that child is no match for the First Beast."

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that the difference in strength between the two sides is too obvious. Lan Ze is now completely on the defensive, unable to even retreat from Goetia's fierce offensive, let alone counterattack.

Mashu gripped her shield tightly, her eyes fixed intently ahead, not daring to blink for a moment.

In front of the Chaldea surveillance screen, Roman subconsciously tightened his grip on his coffee cup, staring at Goetia's ferocious and terrifying body, and the boy who had been punched several meters away, his gaze filled with complex emotions.

He should prepare for the worst.

Even if the Beasts join forces to defeat Goetia tonight, it will still be resurrected in the Temple of Time.

From the very beginning, this was an unsolvable situation.

There is only one way to resolve this situation.

Roman gently stroked the ring on his finger.

Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded on the screen, followed by a flash of white lightning that illuminated Goetia's hideous face.

"I told you, you'll regret this decision!"

He delivered another simple, unadorned punch, sending Lan Ze flying. Without pausing for a moment, he stomped his foot backward, causing the ground to crack open instantly. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Lan Ze.

Lan Ze raised his hand to block, but Goetia immediately grabbed Lan Ze's head, raised his knee and delivered a powerful knee strike to his chin. The blow made Lan Ze's ears ring for a moment, his body staggered twice, and he uncontrollably fell backward into the puddle, blood silently soaking the water.

"You only held out for a minute?" Goetia sneered. "Without these women, you're no match for me."

"In the end, if it weren't for me, you would never have had the chance to meet Tiamat. She should have made her final contribution as the Beast of Regression and then died. You should be thanking me for being able to spend so much time with Tiamat later on."

It withdrew its gaze, turned to look at the few Beasts behind it who had fallen silent, and sneered, "You're all Beasts, so you probably don't care about the life or death of this city. In that case, come at me all at once."

No matter how you kill it, it can be resurrected in the "Temple of Time," and the subsequent battle with these beasts will cause the Singularity to completely collapse, at which point everyone living in the city will suffer.

Sajyou Manaka stared silently at the boy lying in a pool of blood, her fists clenching unconsciously, her bangs seemingly rising slightly as magic surged within her.

In the darkness, the woman in the cheongsam sighed and closed her folding fan.

"In the end, we still have to rely on these women." Goetia sneered, its voice piercing as it gazed at the terrifying magic surging from the beasts ahead, then indifferently glanced at the boy on the ground. It raised its hand, and a ball of light quietly condensed in its palm.

Let me send you on your way first.

Just as the ball of light in its hand was about to condense and be thrown, several golden lights suddenly appeared behind Lan Ze, and several Noble Phantasm were unleashed together with the ripples.

"You're still conscious... Looks like I really underestimated you."

Goetia snorted coldly, raised her hand and threw out the orb of light, which collided with the Noble Phantasm attacking from the Gate of Babylon. At the same time, she raised her other hand, which was filled with an orb of light, intending to smash Lan Ze to pieces.

But then, another golden ripple spread out, accompanied by the sound of chains, Chains of Heaven burst forth from the Gate of Babylon, binding one of Goetia's hands.

"The Chains of Heaven? Though troublesome, a mere Chains of Heaven cannot restrict my movements, brat!"

Goetia glanced at the Chains of Heaven that bound his right hand, roared, and then raised his other hand. But before the sphere of light could gather, a second golden gate quietly bloomed in the darkness.

Another Chains of Heaven emerged from the golden ripples.

In the distance, Gilgamesh clutched his injured arm, his crimson eyes fixed on the Chains of Heaven with a hint of surprise.

He could clearly sense that it wasn't the Chains of Heaven from the Gate of Babylon... that Chains of Heaven was a fake!

Goetia hadn't expected Lan Ze to summon a second Chains of Heaven. It roared and tried to break free with both hands.

Then, a third golden chain emerged from the darkness, and then a fourth...

As the fifth Chains of Heaven emerged from the Golden Gate, Goetia was like a sealed dark sorcerer, his hands and feet tightly bound by the Chains of Heaven.

"Illusion Manifestation ..." Goetia suddenly realized, abruptly looking up and exclaiming, "What is your relationship with Crimson Moon?!"

Lan Ze ignored him, or rather, he wasn't in the mood to listen to Goetia at the moment; he simply took the Holy Lance from the Gate of Babylon.
