He was now unable to live and unable to die.
He could only feel the power of these three hundred peerless warriors while enjoying the gentle sea breeze.
In the confrontation between Bai Ming, Asterius, and Heracles, and in the valiant struggle of the three hundred muscular warriors against the legendary hero Jason, Jason's eyes gradually lost their luster and his thoughts ceased. All that flashed in his eyes were the heroic deeds of his past life and his ambitious aspirations after manifesting as a Servant.
Through constant battle, Jason's dream of being the king of the four seas was utterly shattered.
Jason was about to be killed by the three hundred muscle-bound men, like a boss in the "Qin Shi Huang's Three Ghosts" game, but Olga Marie, whom Bai Ming had released to breathe fresh air, disdainfully applied healing to prolong his life.
Jason's face was contorted with unwillingness, but there was nothing he could do.
Heracles, on the other hand, roared. In the continuous battle, all twelve of his lives disappeared, and he finally collapsed powerlessly.
As his Spirit Origin scattered, Heracles' rational voice reached Bai Ming's ears.
"Finally free... but it's not over yet. Medea is not of the same mind as Jason. The divine and the Ark cannot meet, or the world will collapse. Humanity—I'm counting on you."
Bai Ming glanced at the dissipating Heracles. "You don't need to tell me. The only reason I haven't ended this immediately is that there are still some things I must see and then take away completely."
Afterward, Bai Ming glanced at Asterius, who was lying on the deck, panting from exhaustion, and walked towards the direction of the Argo. "Drake, prepare to set sail."
The Holy Grail had long been in Bai Ming's hands. This Singular Point could have actually ended long ago. The reason Bai Ming refused to end it was that he wanted the system to take away the Ark, a holy relic of Judaism. Then, anyone below the level of a god would die if he hit them.
Then Bai Ming connected to Roman's communication. As soon as the call connected, Roman's image appeared.
"Is it over? Just in time. After you return, you'll have to go to Rome."
Bai Ming didn't answer Roman immediately. He just asked, "Roman, do you want to see your old father?"
"Let's not! The situation in Rome is terrible! Those Demon God Pillars were originally blocking you in the Rome Singular Point, but didn't Akuta Hinako swap the Singular Point strategy with you?"
"So that's what happened? In the end, it's all your fault, isn't it?"
"What does it have to do with me!" Roman shouted. "In short, get ready quickly, and then I'll transfer your spirits back, and you can go to Rome."
"Then it's settled. We'll initiate the Spirit Transfer in ten minutes. Mash will stay at Chaldea to rest."
Bai Ming hung up the communication. Asterius, who was beside him, had already rested and stood up. As if sensing that Bai Ming was about to leave and he also had to return to the Throne of Heroes, he said with all his might in his not-so-fluent speech, "Call my name, not as a monster, as a friend."
"Yes, Asterius, you're not a monster. You're my friend."
Bai Ming left the Argo with Asterius. Then, using the system, he collected all the magecraft materials extracted from Medea Lily and the entire Argo, retrieved Olga Marie's soul, and ordered the three hundred muscle-men to forcibly accelerate Jason's death, sending him back to the Throne of Heroes.
"I'm very sorry, Drake. The journey is ending. The changes I predicted have come. Mash, prepare to leave, and you will guard Chaldea at Chaldea."
Bai Ming's expression was not calm. Drake said, throwing her Holy Grail over. "You're going back to your era, aren't you? Even I have to go back to my original waters, right? Take this. While drinking is important, I prefer you, a man as crazy as a pirate. This will be a token of our next meeting."
"Then, farewell."
As Mash and Bai Ming disappeared, the era gradually began to return to normal, and Asterius and Euryale also began to dissipate. Euryale looked at the place where Bai Ming had disappeared without saying anything, just closing her eyes silently.
And on an unknown island
King David and Atalanta also began to fade.
Atalanta closed her eyes. "Although I don't want to admit it, I didn't get to meet the man I wanted to see this time."
"There will be opportunities," King David said with relief. "At least the era is saved, isn't it?"
Shenhe, what are you doing?
This is Asterius.
This is Blackbeard.
Then Asterius stomps on Blackbeard's face and below, determining it as a foul?
Am I being flagged for obscenity or politics? Huh?!

Regarding the reviewed chapter and the bounty.
Regarding the reviewed chapter, according to the editor, it will be approved within two working days.
So I've put it directly in the group. If you want to see the part that was reviewed without modification, just join the group.
Group number: 906535205
That's roughly it. Now, about the bonus updates. I'm not very good at setting up bounties for this kind of thing. It's mainly because the data is hard to control. I'm planning to do this because a group member directly sent me money to ask for bonus updates—it feels a bit subtle, so I plan to copy my friend's bounty rules.
Recommendation tickets, blades, monthly tickets, and tips are all fine.
Blades—25 per update
Tips—5000 cat biscuits per update. The remainder after division will be converted into blades, rounded to the nearest integer.
Recommendation tickets—1000 tickets per update
Monthly tickets—50 tickets per update
I don't want to think about chests, but if there are any, gold chests will be 100, silver chests 50. Once a month or every half month will be calculated.
The evaluation is that it's best not to have chests—
And these are the current data—
Chapter 69: The Demon God Pillar Flauros, who was instantly defeated by Bai Ming's two or three moves upon showing his face.
If nothing unexpected happened, Goetia's plan was bound to succeed, and Goetia himself would smoothly return to the past to create the planet, becoming the planet's soul, thus taking the first step to becoming God, the beginning of everything.
But Bai Ming was a serious, unrestrained variable.
Goetia had seen the future through the clairvoyance of King Solomon's body when Bai Ming passed through France, and he had seen his failure.
Thus, he felt fear and unwillingness.
Goetia was not willing to face defeat like this.
Flauros, Forneus, Barbatos, Haphas, Baal, Hagenti, Naberius, and Andras, eight Demon God Pillars, descended upon Rome, and he was also ready.
They were here to intercept Bai Ming—logically speaking, their king shouldn't have any thoughts about such a person, but the reality was that Goetia, wearing King Solomon's body, had spoken, and Flauros, who had a long-standing grudge against Bai Ming, immediately decided to be Goetia's vanguard to stop and kill Bai Ming.
If the eight Demon God Pillars were defeated, they would be reborn in the Temple of Time, and Goetia would personally intervene to stop Bai Ming.
When they discovered that the one who arrived was not Bai Ming, but two ants completely looked down upon by Goetia, the eight Demon God Pillars began to cause trouble in secret, accelerating the collapse of the era, pushing the entire era to the brink of collapse, making it difficult for the still-limited Fujimaru Ritsuka and Akuta Hinako to cope, thus forcing Bai Ming to come.
Bai Ming rushed from Okeanos to Rome without stopping. The eight Demon God Pillars simultaneously appeared in the singularity and immediately surrounded Bai Ming, unleashing eight different Incineration Formulas.
Roman, whose communication had not been cut off, went blank for a moment.
But upon seeing Bai Ming's proof of existence and physical condition, he loosened the hand that was tightly gripping his glove.
"What a grand lineup."
Bai Ming's voice came from within the Incineration Formula. The Incineration Formula dissipated, and the golden light on Bai Ming's body completely dispersed.
Bai Ming's gaze was cold and clear, and even the clothes on his body were not damaged in the slightest. This made the smug Flauros furious. Bai Ming's demeanor and posture completely showed his disdain, just like how he had completely ignored Flauros's words and scoffed at his orders in Chaldea back then.
Flauros's voice echoed, "Why aren't you dead yet?"
"If you're not dead, why should I be? Should I go sleep with your mother and have a younger brother for you?"
His words were as calm as if he were stating an objective fact, as if Bai Ming were truly Lev's stepfather.
"To be honest, it's not that I look down on you. After all, you Demon God Pillars can burn an entire era just by staring, which is quite capable."
Bai Ming raised his hand, holding two Holy Grails, and merged them into his heart. His originally relatively meager magical power instantly surged.
Bai Ming's tone remained flat: "I was quite happy to embrace Drake's ample bosom, and I was quite happy to think I could take the Ark of the Covenant. I'm actually quite angry right now."
"A human who speaks such wild words—"
The Demon God Pillar Andras, seeing Bai Ming's posture, suddenly understood why Flauros was so enraged when this human was mentioned.
Bai Ming's gaze swept over the Demon God Pillar Andras, and his surrounding magic surged: "I can't be bothered to talk to you any further. Since the Temple of Time can't be completely destroyed before it's smashed, I'll find another way."
"Incineration Formula: Andras!"
Vast, high-temperature magic instantly enveloped Bai Ming. Bai Ming simply reached out, and a mysterious rune appeared, blocking Andras's Incineration Formula. Then, Bai Ming's hand moved, and his mouth lightly uttered, "Deep and obscure, heaven and earth are dim and hazy..."
The next moment, the light of the entire singularity disappeared.
Flauros immediately became anxious and urged the other eight Demon God Pillars to attack together.
The Demon God Pillars' Gaze and Incineration Formulas arrived simultaneously, curses and magical incineration descending together, attempting to stop Bai Ming's slow incantation, but it was too late: "Thunder, lightning, wind, fire, officials, generals, soldiers, if you ask for the name of the pass, come quickly."
Instantly, the magic around Bai Ming violently scattered.
The climate of the entire singularity began to change drastically.
Thunder rumbled, lightning flashed, strong winds howled, and earth fire erupted.
All the mountain and wild spirits in the entire singularity, conscious and unconscious, emerged from their hidden state and merged into the violent environment.
A vast host appeared behind Bai Ming. The magic from the great source transformed into armor and blades, attaching themselves to the mountain and wild spirits, awaiting Bai Ming's command.
The earth began to crack from beneath Bai Ming's feet, spreading outwards in all directions. The environment turned desolate, the wind became sharper, cleaving the earth, and lightning struck the earth wantonly.
The eight Demon God Pillars realized that the current environment had deviated from the Roman singularity. They had all been dragged into Bai Ming's inner landscape.
The eight Demon God Pillars were also separated into different locations, able to see each other only from afar. No matter how hard they tried or how much they wanted to reach each other's side, they could only stay in place.
Here, fear that should not have existed began to spread.
Panic, confusion, helplessness, self-destruction, anger, entanglement—a large number of negative emotions and states appeared on the eight Demon God Pillars.
All the mountains, rivers, lands, and spirits pulled into the singularity were divided into seven paths to attack seven different Demon God Pillars.
Bai Ming first went to where Flauros was. Flauros, upon seeing Bai Ming, was enraged as usual.
"You actually possess a Reality Marble—" Flauros was incredibly angry. He didn't know how many things Bai Ming had hidden, so he could only use his strongest attack method to attack Bai Ming: "The time of awakening has come!"
A large amount of magic and extremely high heat erupted instantly, but due to the self-destructive tendency attached to the Demon God Pillars in Bai Ming's inner landscape, Flauros's Noble Phantasm fell upon himself.
In an instant, his massive body dissolved and collapsed for the most part.
Flauros let out a painful howl.
Then, his massive body disappeared, and the Demon God Pillar Flauros transformed back into Lev's appearance. However, at this moment, Flauros's human form was already completely disfigured and his clothes were tattered.
The man walked towards Flauros step by step amidst the storm and lightning, his hands not stopping. Array patterns drawn with magic appeared between the two, and heart-piercing words were continuously spoken: "Flauros, ever since I first saw you, you've given me the impression that you're always in a state of impotent rage when you face me. I won't kill you. Bai Ming has always kept his word."
"Bai Ming—!" Flauros lunged at Bai Ming. Bai Ming did not dodge at all. A large amount of magic gathered in his mouth, and he spat a mouthful of saliva onto the charging Flauros's face.
The saliva, filled with magic, sent the charging Lev flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
That was a promise to stuff Lev Nuadaein Phlaulos into Goetia's eyes.
Bai Ming's words were filled with grievance, and the formation in his hand was already complete:
"You guys refuse to die, refuse to stay put, and wait for me to develop so I can kill you all at the Temple of Time. Instead, you jump out to disgust me. It's really difficult for me. After all, you can't beat me every time you come out to fight, yet you act so self-sacrificing, as if I'm the enemy who burned humanity's future. I just feel like I can't withstand Goetia's Human Order Cannon right now. What gives you Demon God Pillars the confidence to beat me? Seventy-two of you together might be a different story.
Alright, try this sealing technique I copied from the Investiture of the Gods. Before I seal you, I'll tell you something interesting—Romani is actually So-lo-mon-King?"
Bai Ming deliberately emphasized the words "King Solomon." Flauros's eyes widened, and before he could say anything, he was enveloped by the sealing formation Bai Ming had constructed and then disappeared into Bai Ming's mental space.
Chapter 70: Beast I Didn't Make a Move, But Beast VI Arrived
"Sigh—I'd rather go back and hug Mash."
Bai Ming's mind was not actually focused on the Demon God Pillars or Goetia, who was coming to assassinate him.
In his own mental space, filled with negative emotions, Bai Ming quietly watched the spirits that had existed since Earth's birth angrily hunt down the seven Demon God Pillars. After the Demon God Pillars completely dissipated, Bai Ming withdrew his mental space and lay motionless on the wilderness.
"Hey, it's not time to rest yet!"
Roman's voice came through: "Your comment about Romani being King Solomon has made my position at Chaldea rather awkward!"
"You didn't hang up the communication? Then can you ask Mash if I can hug her for me?" Bai Ming had no intention of getting up from the ground: "I'm waiting for Goetia to appear here. If he doesn't come out, I'll go find him. Since he likes to cause trouble for me, I'll cause him trouble too. I won't stand for this."
"Chaldea has separated itself from the timeline, becoming a base that no one can find. Even my eyes, which can see through all futures and understand everything, can hardly observe Chaldea. That's why Chaldea has survived."
A male voice appeared, and Bai Ming lazily sat up from the ground: "Yo, Goetia, since you're here, let's talk."
As Bai Ming spoke, he ignored Roman's voice and directly cut off communication with Chaldea.
"It does not accept the tragic vessel adrift on the sea of nothingness, a history already destined for destruction. Chaldea is such a vessel... However, since you have already revealed my true name, there is no need for me to conceal anything."
