As Expected of Junior Brother's Daughter-She's Just Like Him When It Comes to Sneak Attacks / Altera's Fleeting Appearance

Goetia, wearing King Solomon's body, stared at Bai Ming for a long time before saying, "There's no way Flauros can fit into King Solomon's *eye. It wouldn't fit even if it split open."

Bai Ming asked in return, "You care about something like that?"

Goetia fell silent. Bai Ming's usually calm expression finally broke. "You really care about that?"

"I told you—I saw the future!" Goetia directly changed the subject. "I don't think there's much for us to talk about, and I don't want to stop you. I just came to take a look during some spare time from reading."

He gave Bai Ming another couple of looks before directly leaving the Rome Singularity.

*The future changed the moment I came into contact with him ahead of time.

Or rather, the future was constantly changing.

What people called Evil of Humanity was Love of Humanity. Malice and love were one and the same.

Both would gradually thin out through use.

Thus, love gave birth to hatred, and hatred gave birth to love.

And Love of Humanity would become Evil of Humanity.

The more one loved humanity, the more one would come to hate humanity in the end.

You, who do not belong to this world at all, will surely complete the plan I once had no margin for error in after humanity betrays you. So I will not stop you. Instead, I will become your aid. But before that, I still need to create a few troubles to make you feel hardship.*

With that thought in mind, Goetia returned to the Temple of Time and quietly awaited the arrival of the Singularity's final chapter.

After bidding Goetia farewell, Bai Ming still lay on the ground, thinking about something.

Goetia's change in attitude toward him had been too abrupt, making him feel that something was off.

Shouldn't Goetia have sighed sorrowfully while killing him?

Very soon, a powerful surge of magical energy caught Bai Ming's attention. As "Babalon Domus Aurea" echoed out, the surroundings suddenly changed. A scarlet-soaked Golden Theater abruptly appeared, and a massive creature emerged in the distance—a seven-headed, ten-horned beast. Then he saw Akuta Hinako shoot into the sky like a firework and explode.

Bai Ming, who had originally wanted to lie around in the Rome Singularity a little longer, immediately perked up.

"What the fuck is this bullshit Singularity? How did those two little geniuses summon Beast VI/S? No, wait, Goetia, fuck your dam!"

Bai Ming immediately stirred up his magical energy, riding clouds and mist to arrive in an instant.

"Thank goodness! Senpai! You're here!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka shouted as though she had seen her savior. "Miss Akuta Hinako exploded herself first! If you hadn't come soon, I really wouldn't have known what to do!"

Beside Fujimaru Ritsuka stood a red-haired woman in white with an impressively ample chest, a muscular man dressed in some sort of van♂ game outfit, and an awkward-looking blonde female warrior in silver armor. The latter's face was written all over with discomfort upon seeing Bai Ming—that was Mordred.

During this time, the seven-headed, ten-horned beast began shrinking.

"I'm not dead yet!"

Akuta Hinako, whose body had reformed, was furious. "Why do I have to go through this shit?! Old Bai, this is Britain's Queen Boudica, this is Spartacus, and some motherless idiot summoned the giant god Attila. Nero was doing just fine, then she died in battle and was about to be laid to rest, but suddenly things became like this. If you'd come any later, we'd all be dead here."

Bai Ming looked at the cursing Akuta Hinako and immediately cursed back, "What a fucking hassle, you stupid woman! It's not like I can't see something that big! I swear I'll stuff Flauros into King Solomon's *eye. Roman, what are you still watching for? Switch identities, change your Spirit Origin, and come work overtime."

"The King Solomon version of me is already dead! A Grand Caster can quit whenever he wants! I'm human now, so why do I still have to follow orders? Someone else can cover for me. I'm just Roman now!"

Roman's voice sounded out. Then countless pink petals filled the entire Golden Theater, gathering into a human shape. A smug voice came from within.

"So your thoughtful big brother Merlin has arrived~ I thought I'd get to see you bastard Joslin get beaten to death by eight Demon God Pillars and Beast I. Who knew you were just as hard to kill as I am..."

Merlin's voice finally crushed the last hope in Mordred's heart—this really was her father. Things were about to get miserable.

Before his words had even finished, a small white beast sprang out from nowhere, forming a pincer attack with Bai Ming.

Fou's flying kick landed on Merlin's left cheek, while Bai Ming's elbow struck Merlin's right cheek. Then, in perfect sync, they kicked Merlin toward the seven-headed, ten-horned beast that had shrunk into humanoid form.

Black armor, enormous black-red horns, and a colossal crimson sword radiating ill omen. After Nero's third sunset, an existence that had deviated from the fate of dying alone was born.

Beast VI/S Draco manifested.

The moment Merlin flew over, he exploded into a shower of petals and reappeared beside Bai Ming. His tone turned serious. "Joslin, stop messing around. Even though this thing is only one aspect of Beast VI, it's not something a single Grand can handle. Another Grand is on the way."

"Another one?"

Bai Ming stretched his limbs and looked at the bewildered Beast of 666, while Merlin beside him complained, "Joslin, why aren't you rushing up to hit her?"

"You said the one piece of trash here—meaning you—can't handle it alone, and another one is on the way. Then do what you're best at: stall the enemy until the second Grand gets here. Go on, Merlin. Use your charm."

"Little Junior Brother is still as unreliable as ever. But there's no need to wait, because I'm already here. Though asking me to come over in this Spirit Origin is a bit too much, isn't it? Wouldn't Grand Caster be better? Could those bastards squatting in their spots without doing anything just hurry up and die?"

A Sibuxiang's roar came from the sky, followed by that smug voice. Taigong Wang had arrived.

A bob-haired, squinting-eyed man arrived before them. "I heard you turned Daji into a slave. I wonder if I could—"

Disgust appeared on Bai Ming's face.

"Tch, an actual blind man showed up. Sibuxiang, you should find yourself another master. If you keep following that blind idiot, sooner or later you'll end up under a bridge setting up a fortune-telling stall. He might even make you charge twenty per photo."

Sibuxiang snorted and silently retreated to the side.

It was fine for fellow disciples to mock each other, but as a mount, he could not join in. Whether it was Taigong Wang or Bai Ming, both were first-rate grudge holders.

Offending Taigong would get him sent on a mission where death was impossible for ten lifetimes, though the process would be excruciating. Offending Bai Ming would not only mean getting beaten every day, but also having his fur plucked to weave strange things.

Yuqing Kunlun's old schemer and Yuqing Kunlun's little violent maniac, the two greatest big mouths, had gathered together in full force. Akuta Hinako felt utterly out of place, but she was still an Immortal of the Feather Realm, so she greeted Taigong Wang anyway.

Taigong Wang wanted to complain about something, but considering Yu Meiren's temperament, he gave up and turned his gaze toward Mordred.

Mordred instinctively took a step back, while Fujimaru Ritsuka, completely out of the loop, pondered the situation.

"Sigh, not even half of my little junior brother's spirit."

"Hey! Pay attention to me!"

The Beast of 666's expression shifted from confusion to rage. Seven beast heads immediately appeared and smashed down from above the Golden Theater toward the Chaldea group.

The earth trembled.

As the smoke cleared, a shield formed from magical energy covered everyone.

"My, my. It's clearly a fallen beast, yet it has a worse temper than my little junior brother~ Hey, Bai Ming, how did you put up with that?"

"Exactly. Joslin has such a terrible temper, yet at a time like this, he's letting the other side yell at him."

Merlin and Taigong Wang each threw out a jab at Bai Ming. Bai Ming clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Since there's a progenitor of soldiers and a Court Mage here, you two definitely have a way, right?"

Taigong Wang and Merlin exchanged a glance. Then Bai Ming was launched by Taigong Wang and Merlin.

"Little Junior Brother, you've been strengthened. Go!"

"That's right~ Joslin, do your best! Big brother Merlin will wait here for you to beat the Beast of 666 to its knees and return in triumph~"

Mordred, standing behind the crowd, wore a subtle expression as she gripped her sword and steadily walked forward—those two bastards were bullying her father?

Mordred knew exactly how difficult that old bastard Merlin was to deal with, so she directly stabbed Taigong Wang in the ass with her sword.

Taigong Wang immediately grabbed the bewildered Merlin and darted out with him.

"Worthy of Little Junior Brother's daughter. Her knack for stabbing people in the back is exactly the same. No wonder I could so easily launch Little Junior Brother, that human cannon. So he'd even calculated his own daughter into this—"

Taigong Wang, whose eyes had always been narrowed, had opened them now. With an aching expression, he pulled the bloodied sword from his ass.

Then, full of reluctance, he headed toward the Beast of 666. Throwing Bai Ming over had only been because there was no one present who could serve as a proper martial general—Mordred barely counted, but Taigong Wang knew his own limits. He knew exactly how fiercely Bai Ming protected his own. If he really got Bai Ming's daughter hurt, Bai Ming would file a complaint, and Taigong Wang would be thoroughly punished.

Mordred, who had stabbed Taigong Wang in the ass, was not looking at him at all. Her eyes were fixed on Bai Ming, who was brawling with the Beast of 666.

Sibuxiang in the corner let out a mournful cry at that moment.

Having horns himself, he felt phantom pain when he saw that violent madman Bai Ming seize one of the Beast of 666's huge horns and snap it off by brute force. He could not help thinking, Why has that damned Bai Ming become even crueler since leaving Kunlun?

The instant Bai Ming tore off one of the Beast of 666's horns with brute strength, the Beast of 666 roared.

"Seven Crowns of the Beast! Invidia, Superbia, Avaritia, Ira, Gula, Acedia, Luxuria!"

Seven dragon heads roared above the theater.

Flames gathered in the dragons' mouths, and the entire Golden Theater became scorching hot.

A massive blaze swallowed Bai Ming in an instant. While Merlin was anxious, Taigong Wang showed no concern at all and instead formed a Daoist technique in his hands.

"Foolish wretches, daring to stand in the path of my Draco—"

The Beast of 666 clutched the broken horn on her head, her expression utterly wild. But in the next instant, her expression froze. A fist rapidly enlarged in her vision, splitting the flames apart.

Bai Ming broke through the blaze, revealing his powerful body. His skin glowed with a faint pale luster, while his clothes had already turned to ash in the heat.

A heavy blow landed on the Beast of 666's face, sending her flying away.

At that moment, the Daoist technique in Taigong Wang's hand activated. Merlin felt a powerful force shove him from behind, and then Merlin was launched toward Bai Ming.

Bai Ming caught the flying Merlin and directly smashed him into the Beast of 666, who had been sent flying.

The Beast of 666, who had just managed to get back up, was knocked down again by the flying Merlin.

"Merlin Meteor Hammer!"

After Taigong Wang ran over, he casually tossed Bai Ming a piece of clothing. Then he threw out the three-foot-six-inch-five-fen, twenty-one-section iron whip in his hand.

"Put on some clothes. I'm going in first. Heave-ho~ All eighty-four seals, activate."

Merlin twisted around and ran.

The enormous iron whip fell directly from the sky.

"Sometimes, I can really understand Little Junior Brother's behavior. Rather than endlessly fighting with techniques, it feels better to just get in a few real hits."

"Yeah! But is that how you use the God-Slaying Whip, you motherfucker?"

As Bai Ming spoke, he lifted Taigong Wang, who was still sighing endlessly, and smashed him toward the Beast of 666 as she struggled out from beneath the God-Slaying Whip.

Taigong Wang's expression drastically changed, and he immediately raised a protective golden radiance.

The Beast of 666 felt a sharp pain in her eyes, then something hard slammed into her head.

Intense pain came from the other side of her head.

Both horns that stored magical energy had been torn off by that naked brute.

Attila Vanished in an Instant

"This scene really is a complete mess—Miss Akuta Hinako, aren't you going to go help?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka watched Bai Ming, Taigong Wang, and Merlin battling fiercely against the Beast of Sodom, feeling conflicted. Unable to reach a conclusion after thinking it over for a long time, the red-haired girl simply looked toward Akuta Hinako, who was quietly sitting off to the side watching the show.

A huge question mark appeared over Akuta Hinako's head as she pointed at herself. "Me? Do I look like someone who can take part in that kind of fight?"

The instant she finished speaking, the entire Golden Theater shook violently.

Bai Ming was sent flying by the Beast of 666's sudden giant claw. Merlin caught Bai Ming with flower magecraft, while Taigong Wang summoned Sibuxiang and used his speed and magical energy to circle around the Beast of 666.

At this point, the Beast of 666 had abandoned her humanoid form. A sea of blood began to surge, and the theater began to collapse.

Without another word, Akuta Hinako grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka and began retreating, while contacting Chaldea. "We're just dead weight if we stay here. Hurry up with the Spiritron Transfer and send us back. Leave Bai Ming here to fight the Evil of Humanity—"

"That may be true, but Akuta Hinako dear, you can't run away before the battle, you know?" Da Vinci's voice came through. "Isn't Knight Mordred there? Have her go help."

"Hah—" Mordred, who had been retreating with them, pulled at the corner of her mouth. "I want to go too, but Father won't allow it. Our relationship isn't as good as it looks, but no matter what, I can't cancel the contract and return to the Throne of Heroes yet."

Hearing that, Akuta Hinako gave Mordred a contemptuous look. Their relationship was bad, yet she had still gone up and stabbed Taigong Wang in the ass with a sword?

The Beast of 666, with both horns broken, flew into the sky.

A great red dragon with seven heads and ten horns appeared overhead.

Legend said it was the incarnation of Satan the Devil. It sought to devour the son born of the woman clothed in the sun, a terrifying creature that would appear at the Last Judgment.

In an instant, Bai Ming and the other two seemed incomparably tiny before the enormous red dragon monster.

"Sigh—" Merlin narrowed his eyes. "No choice. We can only fight it like this. That thing has no vital spots like a head or body, so we can only use something with overwhelming force to knock it down and trap it. Rider, do you have anything like that?"

"My, my. How could I possibly have something like that?"

The two squinting-eyed men each pointed Bai Ming out. Bai Ming said, "You two old beasts sure you don't have one? If not, then just wait to die."

"You really are impossible."

Taigong Wang sighed and flicked his sleeve. The radiant royal sword Mordred had stabbed into Taigong Wang's ass was pulled out.

"That's not enough. What else?"
