A Ghost Who Gets Things Done / Infiltrating the Second Singularity

It's common for a Magecraft to be guided by divination and then choose a result. The more arrogant Magecraft is, the more they will believe in the outcome of their Magecraft. He couldn't judge whether Mephistopheles was a very arrogant Magecraft, but he felt that he was.

So Romani had no choice but to give up and resign himself to his fate, saying, "Alright, then I'll provide you with some blood later. It won't be much, will it?"

"Nothing much, just prick your finger and give me a few drops, about the same amount of blood used for a regular test."

Seeing that Romani stubbornly refused to admit that he was the Solomon of this world, Mephistopheles didn't bother to say anything more and changed the subject, "So, let's continue with the situation. Chaldeas currently ablaze with red, representing the future destruction of humanity. So, I ask you this: does the outside world still exist?"

Even if King Solomon was unwilling to acknowledge his identity, he didn't believe the other party would refuse to help in these matters, and that this person would certainly provide him with sufficient guidance if necessary.

"I suspect this is already over. The human world has been destroyed, and the fact that we can no longer contact the outside world seems to confirm this." Romani's expression darkened. "The future wasn't unobservable; rather, the moment it turned crimson, the future ceased to exist, as if in an instant, this future was completely predetermined."

"You mean... the world outside has actually become like Fuyuki City in Singularity F, but Chaldea's unique characteristics allow us to maintain our identity and continue our activities here?"

"That's right. Although it's just my guess, it is indeed a possibility. The reason we can't contact the outside world is simply because the people we could contact have long since disappeared."

Romani's expression darkened as he said this, "If we can't change history, Chaldea itself might disappear after a while. After all, these plans were all spearheaded by Lev, and given his character, he wouldn't leave too many loopholes."

"So, how long do you think this deadline should be?"

"It's already the end of 2014. If my guess is correct, we can hold on for another year..."

"A year? That means if we haven't resolved the seven Singularity by the end of 2015, according to Chaldea's internal calculations, we will face destruction, right?"

"It's just a guess." Romani forced a smile and said to Mephistopheles, "You should get some rest too. Mash Kyrielight and Ritsuka Fujimaru's combat experience and strength are not as good as yours. The subsequent exploration and historical revision work will also need your help."

"Leave it to me, don't worry. I came here because I foresaw what problems might arise, but as you know, I got tricked by Lev..." Mephistopheles rolled his eyes. "Knowing about me beforehand? That's too much of a cheat!"

"Haha, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, he's a Magic God ... and Magic God who knows everything about the past. It's normal that he would know of your existence." Romani said, then asked somewhat seriously, "So, how exactly did you end up in the Age of Gods in Greece? Or are you actually a human from the Age of Gods?"

Mephistopheles suppressed the urge to curse and gave a brief account of what had happened. Romani was amazed after hearing it, never expecting Mephistopheles's experience to be so convoluted.

"So, you mean you originally felt there was something wrong here based on divination, so you came to investigate, but you didn't expect to be targeted by Lev, which resulted in you being sent directly to ancient Greece in the Age of Gods."

"Then, you explored Greece in the Age of Gods, searching for a way back. During this process, you were unexpectedly transported to another universe and participated in the Fifth Holy Grail War in that universe, Holy Grail War completely different from this one. Only after the Holy Grail War ended did you successfully return here?"

"That's right, exactly. You've summarized it very well."

"It was... it was an unimaginable adventure! You were even summoned to that universe as a Servant and participated in the Holy Grail War..." Romani shook his head in amazement. "No wonder your stats were so strange. You looked like a human, yet you possessed some Servant characteristics. But how could you achieve such an incredible feat in the Age of Gods Greece..."

Romani reached out and touched Mephistopheles's shoulder, causing Mephistopheles to take a step back. "No, my sexual orientation is perfectly normal!"

"What I meant was, could I examine you? I'm very curious about your body's structure. Although you look human, there must be some secrets hidden within, right?!"

"Don't even think about it. My True Magic is just different from other people's Magecraft; I'm just an ordinary human being!"

"An ordinary human?! You possess divine qualities, don't think I didn't see it!" Romani immediately shouted, not hesitating to expose his weaknesses. "And Magecraft who can Typhon? You've accomplished something even the gods of the Age of Gods couldn't do. Do you think I'd believe you're just an ordinary person?"

Seeing this, Mephistopheles chuckled and said, "There are always some secrets, don't you think, Dr. Roman?"

Upon hearing Mephistopheles's words, Romani immediately shut his mouth.

Chapter 135 The Working Ghost

Mephistopheles stayed in his resting place for about half an hour before leaving and wandering around Chaldea as if nothing had happened.

He first went to the hospital, where he saw Romani busy at work, as well as other medical staff who were not yet injured. In addition to these busy people, he could also see a large number of wounded people, all of whom were placed in beds.

Of course, some patients were only given temporary treatment and placed in the corridor due to a lack of beds.

It's fair to say that the medical area was completely overcrowded at that time, and the vast majority of people there were patients.

Magic can easily heal fatal wounds, but that doesn't mean it can be used to treat anyone here. This place is Chaldea, that's true, and it does possess a powerful magical furnace.

However, these magical powers all have their own uses, and only a handful of them can actually be used for treatment in the medical field.

Therefore, most of the equipment here is based on science and technology. These devices are used to treat people whose injuries are not so serious, while magic is used to treat those who are on the verge of death. This is roughly the Chaldea's treatment method.

"You're here? Why aren't you resting properly?" Romani walked over when he saw Mephistopheles.

Mephistopheles shrugged. "I just came to see if there was anything I could help with."

"The situation is indeed difficult to handle..." Romani said in a low voice, "The outside world has indeed shown an anomaly, just as Lev said, much like Singularity F. This has led to a significant depletion of the Great Source's magic power, making it almost impossible for us to obtain a large amount of magic power for healing."

"Yes, life force was completely depleted, resulting in a vast wasteland in the distribution of magic power, is that right?"

"That's right, that's the idea, but there's no need to rush. Chaldea is based on Earth, after all. As long as Earth exists, we can extract as much magic power as possible from the Leylines, but it will take some time."

How long will it take?

"It may take about four days to extract enough magic. During this time, we will treat the critically ill first, and the treatment will only keep them from dying," Romani said slowly. "The rest will be treated directly with technology. This way, we can maximize the use of resources and save the most people."

A calm choice, even if it means the patients will suffer for a while, at least it saves them from dying. If there's any problem, it's only this one.

Mephistopheles asked, "She must be short-handed right now, right?"

"Yes, we're desperately short-handed. If even a third of this manpower could be restored, the current shortage would be greatly alleviated." Romani nodded, but then sighed. "However, we must conserve our magic power. After all, we need to travel to other Singularity and find a way to get the summoning circle working to summon Servants and increase our combat strength."

Mephistopheles was silent for a moment, then raised his right hand, revealing a yellow dagger, or more accurately, a sword.

Seeing Mephistopheles's actions, many of the medical staff who had noticed the situation looked tense, wondering why this person had suddenly pulled out a weapon in the medical area.

Romani was slightly startled by what he saw, but he didn't stop him. He simply asked, "What are you planning to do?"

"Help with the treatment. We can't really let the poor director handle so many things with so few people. Even if she's a ghost and doesn't need to sleep, her mind will probably break down if she's constantly working at such a high intensity." Mephistopheles said, a dagger swirling around him.

"Heat and humidity."

As Mephistopheles uttered his puzzling description, a breeze arose within this sealed-off place.

The wind wasn't very strong, but it was present and blowing.

Dense wind elements gathered around Mephistopheles, and almost everyone present could vaguely sense that something was beginning to descend.

The room began to distort, as if some violent force was influencing the surrounding space, causing panic among the people inside.

"So, sometimes carrying True Magic circle around is just that convenient." Mephistopheles muttered to himself, and a book appeared in his left hand. As the pages opened, a sheet of paper flew out from inside, quickly growing larger and transforming into a huge sheet of paper that almost covered the entire medical area.

The magical power emanating from that piece of paper made everyone afraid to move, because judging from this magical power, it was practically Noble Phantasm- level artifact!

"In the name of YHVH, God will heal all..."

Mephistopheles chanted a spell, and behind him, to everyone's astonishment, an angel appeared—a phantom of an angel. Yet, even this phantom filled them with immense fear at that moment.

Because, the entire Chaldea trembled violently the moment the angel appeared!

That incredibly violent power was so great that it seemed capable of erasing the entire Chaldea from the map in an instant!

"What... what is this?!"

"Angel?"

"How is that possible? Can humans really summon angels?"

"I've heard of using the power of angels, but I've never heard of angels being able to descend directly."

A gasp rippled through the crowd, and although Romani remained silent, his gaze toward Mephistopheles was filled with shock.

Unlike others, Romani, as King Solomon, had a covenant with God, and therefore knew best how powerful angels should be.

But the angels appearing here now seem to possess power far greater than any angels he knows, so powerful that they appear to pose a significant threat to the planet beneath his feet!

If we categorize things by the level of gods, then the angel who appears here right now, named Raphael, possesses power equivalent to that of the entire Earth!

Where did such a powerful angel come from? How come he never knew angels were such formidable beings?!

If angels are so powerful, then what are the other gods on Earth for? Are they just there to do nothing?!

Romani couldn't comprehend the existence of such angels, nor could he understand why Mephistopheles could summon such powerful angels.

But now he understands one thing: why it is said that in the Age of Gods in Greece, Mephistopheles could participate in the affairs of the gods, and even kill Typhon, the father of monsters who could be chased and killed by Zeus.

Even if Typhon were in his sealed state, or even in his fully formed state, he probably wouldn't be a match for Mephistopheles Typhon!

Just as everyone was shocked and frightened, the angel suddenly disappeared, and the immense Angelic Power transformed into healing power, showering all the patients in the room. These patients, who were in pain, showed expressions of comfort one by one, slowly closed their eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

The distortion in the room completely returned to normal at that moment. Mephistopheles clapped his hands, turned, and left.

Romani was stunned as he watched Mephistopheles leave.

"Isn't this guy going to say anything?!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Dr. Roman, the injury has healed!"

"What?!" Romani turned his head and saw that all the patients in the room had fallen into a deep sleep, their breathing was calm, and the electrocardiograms on the machines were perfectly stable, as if to say that these people were very healthy.

That was actually a healing Magecraft! No, it couldn't be called Magecraft anymore, it was True Magic! Romani thought to himself, then immediately shouted to the crowd, "Check carefully, see if there's anything we've overlooked!"

Suddenly, the crowd, who had been briefly shocked and stunned by Mephistopheles's actions, were busy again. In contrast, the patients who had been suffering were now sleeping like babies in deep sleep.

After taking over full command of Chaldea, Olga Marie diligently directed everything. At the same time, she kept a close eye on the documents in her hands, scrutinizing each word to ensure she didn't miss any crucial information.

At this moment, her body was floating in mid-air, and she herself was unaware of it. Her serious attitude made her completely lose herself in the moment.

Although the staff witnessed this scene, no one said anything. As Magecraft, they were always aware of the existence of spirits. Even if they had never actually seen one, they wouldn't do something like, "Ah, there's a ghost here," because it would be very embarrassing.

"Pfft, don't you care about your current state? Or do you think it's comfortable to float like this?" The sudden laughter caught Olga Marie's attention. Not only Olga Marie's attention, but also the people working below involuntarily straightened their posture, making themselves appear even more diligent.

Olga Marie is a very strict person; if anyone makes a mistake, she will definitely punish them severely. And now this guy who suddenly appeared dares to provoke the director?!

While they were working hard, their eyes couldn't help but drift over there, wanting to secretly see what was going on.

Olga Marie felt completely drained at that moment. There were just too many things to deal with. Although a priority had been established, it didn't mean that she didn't need to consider the follow-up matters. On the contrary, while carrying out the previous work, she also had to carefully consider the subsequent matters.

However, the lack of manpower makes it difficult to make rapid progress in dealing with those matters, even those currently being dealt with, in the short term.

"Are you just here to make sarcastic remarks?" Olga Marie said with some dissatisfaction when she saw that the person who came was Mephistopheles, and even pouted, which surprised the group of people below.

This is the director?!

She didn't just yell at that person and kick them out?!

Just as everyone was completely astonished, Olga Marie put down the documents she was holding, only to realize then that the desk was underneath and she was floating above it.

She coughed softly, her cheeks slightly flushed, and floated downwards, quickly landing on the ground. "Isn't it because I've become a spirit? So I'm just using every spare moment to quickly familiarize myself with this body!"

Inside Chaldea, Olga Marie was able to behave like an ordinary person because her physical body, formed from her spirit form, was indeed similar to that of a human.

But things were different when she returned here. She was now a ghost, and her physical body was even noticeably transparent.

This also means that if she doesn't carefully control her magic, she might experience things like floating.

"That's what happens when the density is too low," Mephistopheles said casually, snapping his fingers.

Olga Marie immediately felt the magic power within her body rapidly increasing, and her body became increasingly solid, soon becoming indistinguishable from an ordinary human, without any transparency.

This time, she found that even without paying much attention, her body could stay firmly rooted to the ground instead of floating away.

"Oh? You're actually willing to help?"

"After all, if you're always floating in mid-air, your clothes might expose you." Mephistopheles laughed, then turned and ran away.

Olga Marie froze for a moment, then her cheeks flushed red; she could even feel them burning. She waved her fist and shouted, "What's it to you!"

The people below, one by one, dared not utter a single word.

Watching Mephistopheles disappear, Olga Marie couldn't help but sigh. She then picked up the documents again. The interruption had given her a sense of catharsis, making her feel much lighter.

"Could this guy be deliberately trying to put me at ease?" Olga Marie thought for a moment, then immediately shook her head. "Impossible. This guy has such a nasty personality, how could he think like that? It must have been a lucky accident!"

Then, the "leftover woman" who had never been in a relationship due to being busy with various things since childhood fell into despair again. "There are too few people! If I could have ten more people right now, no, even five more, I could speed up the work process a lot and ease the situation a lot!"

"Chief!" a voice called out. Olga Marie recognized the familiar voice and asked listlessly, "Romani, what is it?"

"That's right!" Romani's voice came through the communicator, sounding very excited. "The treatment of the personnel here is almost complete, and we estimate they can return to their posts tomorrow!"

Olga Marie was taken aback. "Huh? Almost done? How many people did you treat? Weren't you supposed to save your magic for the critically ill?"

"It was Mephistopheles who did it. He cured all the patients at the medical center. They are all in good health now, but they need to recover mentally. They are resting now and can return to work tomorrow."

"Wait, how many people? All the patients?" Olga Marie wondered if she was hallucinating.

"Yes, all the patients, except for those who are still frozen, have been cured!"

Olga Marie gaped, feeling as if she were still dreaming.

She gently pinched her arm, feeling the pain, but she didn't show any sign of distress. Instead, she murmured to herself, "It's really true?!"

Chapter 136 Intrusion, Second Singularity

Ritsuka Fujimaru slept fairly well that night, perhaps because she was too tired; she slept very soundly and didn't even remember whether she dreamed or not.

After opening her eyes and quickly washing up, Ritsuka Fujimaru left her room and headed towards the dining area, only to find that there were quite a few people there.
