Zeus
Ritsuka Fujimaru open. "You're going alone?"
"Otherwise what?"
"Will it be dangerous?"
"If I'm in danger, then you all need to go back immediately." Mephistopheles smiled, glancing at Nero not far away, and added, "When you go, you can have Nero lead the team; after all, she's quite capable and can act as your bodyguard."
"To have the emperor as a bodyguard? That... is that something we can agree to?"
Mephistopheles chuckled, "Just fool her. She's an idiot."
Seeing Mephistopheles bluntly calling the king a fool, Ritsuka Fujimaru didn't know what to say.
Mephistopheles didn't bother waiting for Ritsuka Fujimaru's reply and immediately left the group, heading towards the direction where he had just performed his divination.
After walking a certain distance, he took to the air and sped towards his destination at an extremely fast speed.
According to Nero, many parts of the world have been drawn into war, and the culprit behind all this is a force called the United Roman Empire. Among the places attacked is the territory of France, now known as Gaul, inhabited by the Celts.
That place is now the garrison of the Rome army, with many soldiers and followers!
Upon landing, Mephistopheles was immediately entangled by two figures, a male and a female servant. The woman appeared to be a knight, while the man looked like a pervert, bound by chains and other chains, making one wonder if he had some kind of unusual fetish.
"Who are you?" the woman asked.
Mephistopheles asked, "And who are you, coming to help us against the United Roman Empire?"
"I am Boudica, the former Queen of Britain, and as for him..."
Mephistopheles looked at the man, his voice hoarse.
"Spartacus."
Good heavens, two people who planned to rebel against the Roman Empire ended up saving it?!
Mephistopheles was filled with disbelief.
Why summon these two? Given the land's connection, summoning Artoria would be better than either of them. Are you sure you don't just jump into a fight with Nero the moment you see Nero?
"You are followers?"
"You do know something, but that foolish emperor Nero seems to still be unaware; it's as if she's lost some of her memories," Boudica said, a hint of worry, even concern, in her voice.
Mephistopheles was shocked.
"You don't hate Nero?"
"If it weren't for my choice back then, that disaster wouldn't have happened..."
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you guys..." Mephistopheles gently rubbed the corner of his eye. "If that old lady I know, who's a member of the British royal family, were here, she'd definitely give you a good beating with the Katina first..."
As he spoke, he ignored the two of them, stood up, and instantly rushed into the air. He slightly adjusted his direction and transformed into an airplane rushing forward, leaving the two Servants on the ground looking completely bewildered.
Meanwhile, Mephistopheles was flying rapidly through the air, was shocked by Boudica's reaction.
Then it turned into shock at the author and screenwriter.
"What kind of plot is this?! Boudica allied with Nero, but Nero tore up the contract, not only refusing to compensate her but also demanding compensation, and then he invaded Britain, killed her, and raped her two daughters... This is Boudica's reaction? Even if she's a Servant, shouldn't she at least kick Nero a couple of times?"
What did he see?
"That idiot emperor... that tone even carried a hint of admiration and pity, what the heck? Am I reading a female-oriented novel? Or is she having Stockholm syndrome?"
Mephistopheles was incredibly fast; he quickly passed the display ahead and saw the general standing there—the stout Rome Caesar!
"So you're the Servant who came to attack the city? No, you're human, but you also have the aura of a Servant..." Caesar looked at Mephistopheles with interest, but then sighed, "What a nuisance!"
"Are you planning to fight me personally, Caesar?" Mephistopheles asked.
"You dare to call the emperor by his name? I grant you permission." Caesar drew his longsword and aimed it at Mephistopheles.
"You seem somewhat dissatisfied?"
"No, I have no grievances against you, human."
"I mean, you seem somewhat dissatisfied with your current situation."
"You actually noticed? Human, I do indeed have reservations about that person. His mind is filled with delusions, and those delusions will lead to destruction!"
"I'm here to stop him. If we kill him, everything that went wrong will be reversed, and those who died because of your actions will be resurrected. Time will rewind to before it all began."
"You've persuaded me, but I must fight you, for I am a servant summoned by that lord, and I can only obey orders." Caesar said, raising his head. "Come and fight me, prove you can defeat us all, human!"
"But before that, state your name!"
"Here I state my True Magic name: Veritas000, meaning 'the seeker of truth'!"
"Interesting, it's True Magic name. Although I don't understand its meaning, I can feel the determination you had when you uttered it!" Caesar said. "In that case, I will also state my name: I am Caesar, the Emperor of Rome! Come and fight, humans!"
"Boom!"
Mephistopheles moved. At this moment, he didn't even bother to hide his strength. Almost instantly, the four archangels descended, and hundreds of different True Magic spells were activated around his body, pushing his physical body to its limit!
This terrifying power allowed him to break the sound barrier in an instant, transforming him into a visible stream of air!
Without any fancy moves, pure physical force caused their weapons to collide.
Upon contact, the surrounding earth shattered, turning into a giant crater!
Caesar felt the immense force transmitted through his hand, and his body uncontrollably staggered back several steps!
Mephistopheles seized the opportunity, advancing at an even faster pace, and thrusting his War God's Sword at an extremely tricky angle, striking Caesar in the abdomen!
This single blow was enough to wound Caesar!
"Such immense power! Are you really human?!" Caesar exclaimed, his eyes widening with astonishment.
Mephistopheles didn't bother to answer. A book appeared in his left hand, and together with the ring on his right, the True Magic was activated instantly!
The fiery power representing Michael gathered and condensed on the War God's Sword, turning the entire blade into flames.
At this moment, the short sword seemed to transform into the sword in Michael's hand, imbued with the Angelic Power!
Then, Mephistopheles slashed out fiercely, flames dancing and transforming into an even larger sword, cleaving the Rome emperor in two at the waist!
Without even needing to stop or listen to the opponent's last words, Mephistopheles accelerated again after defeating Caesar, rushing forward. He wanted to storm the opponent's base and quickly clear this dungeon!
He could already guess what the current plot was all about.
One is called the Roman Empire, and the other is called the United Roman Empire. Moreover, the fact that Caesar addressed him as "that man" indicates that the person was of very high status and was definitely not Lev.
Therefore, there is only one person who can be called that: Romulus, the founding emperor of Rome in mythology, the son of Mars, the god of war, and Silvia!
According to legend, he and his twin brother Remus were abandoned and raised by a she-wolf. They later founded Rome, but the younger brother was eventually killed by the older brother.
In retrospect, the one who started all of this was Romulus, the guy who created Rome.
Just like Black Jeanne Alter in the First Singularity, except this time her existence should be a real Servant, rather than a completely fictional character.
"Mars, the God of War? Ares? Isn't he just a guy? Ha!" Mephistopheles chuckled, never expecting to have a chance to teach Ares's kid a lesson.
This excited him instantly, and he started thinking about how he should teach that guy a lesson for doing so many absurd things!
Inside the palace, Lev was visibly furious.
"Caesar failed...and not only Caesar, Caligula failed too. How could they die so quickly?" He frowned, looking very angry.
"Caesar said he had a wish that required the Holy Grail to fulfill, so I sent him... But it doesn't really matter, it's not a big problem. We can summon as many new Servants as we need, as long as we have the Holy Grail."
He muttered to himself, a twisted expression on his face. "It's such a pity that Caligula didn't kill Nero with his own hands. Otherwise, it would have been fantastic. He clearly possesses strength far beyond that of humans, yet he's so unfree and bound. How ironic!"
He chuckled for a moment, then took a deep breath, controlling his somewhat morbid emotions. "Alright, let's summon some Servants first, and then send them to the front lines."
With Lev's words, the Holy Grail was activated, and the summoning ritual began once more.
The golden warrior who appeared inside the magic circle was named Leonidas.
Then, Lev looked at the mysterious man who had been beside him. "So, how do you plan to fight them?"
The man glanced at Leonidas, said nothing, and walked out.
"Ugh, this is such a troublesome matter, Leonidas, go and complete your task!"
"With your words, Lev, "Leonidas said, walking out. He knew his mission: to intercept the approaching opponents and, ideally, kill them all before they disturbed the peace of the main course.
Chapter 151 Zeus
The Sparta warriors stood on the earth. As King of Sparta, Leonidas was not afraid of war or death. He worshipped Ares!
And indeed, an opponent appeared before them—a figure charging towards them alone!
Like a giant whale crossing the waves, its powerful aura gave him a feeling of seeing the gods for a moment.
The weapon he held in his hand also made his heart tremble; it clearly carried the power of Ares, the god he worshipped!
"I am Leonidas!" he shouted, raising his spear to fight the human who was attacking him.
But the human ignored him and charged straight at him!
The next instant, Leonidas felt his body flying.
No, it wasn't his body that was flying, it was just his head that was flying!
The moment the opponent flew past his body, they actually managed to chop off his head!
The speed was so fast that he didn't even have time to react. It wasn't until the world spun around him and he could see his own body that Leonidas came to his senses.
"So I was already dead..."
The thought appeared in my mind and then quickly disappeared.
At the last moment, he saw his body dissipate along with it. He knew that his job this time was very simple, unimaginably simple.
I'd only been out for a short while, and now I have to go back?!
And what exactly is this human? Why is he so powerful? And why does he possess a short sword that clearly carries the aura of Ares? When did the gods bestow such a powerful weapon upon mortals?
All of this was a mystery, all of this swirled in his mind, but he could not find the answers. He knew that he would be in great pain on the Throne of Heroes because he did not know the answers, did not know what was going on, and did not know why Ares, would give such a powerful weapon to such a human.
The departing figure sped up, heading straight for the distant city!
A figure stood on the city wall, watching the crowd. He held his head high, like a rooster that refused to surrender.
He had muscular build, slightly dark bronze skin, and bloodshot eyes.
He was that great man, the founding emperor named Romulus, the mastermind behind all of this!
Looking at that guy, at the aura surrounding him, and at the massive group of soldiers behind him, Mephistopheles knew that this guy was going to stop him!
He raised his spear high and roared, "Everything, everything will be pierced by my spear— my My Spear Pierces All Things!"
Knowing the terrifying speed at which his Servants were being defeated, Romulus knew that his opponent was definitely very strong this time. So he didn't hesitate at all and immediately activated his Noble Phantasm, wanting to use its power to damage the target.
His Noble Phantasm is a rare Noble Phantasm in the world, reaching the A++ level, so calling it the strongest spear wouldn't be too much of a problem.
At this moment, the gun radiates light; it will transform into a giant tree, becoming the foundation that supports everything!
That is Romulus's Noble Phantasm!
However, Mephistopheles, in his charging stance, was also ready.
A golden book appeared in his left hand, and as its pages opened, it released a powerful force!
"Zeus is Aether, Gaia, Uranus! He is all of these, above all of these!"
The incantation began.
Dark clouds began to fill the sky, obscuring the halo.
Blue lightning descended from the sky and struck Mephistopheles directly as he flew through the air!
Mephistopheles's body also stopped at that moment, and he floated in the air, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and his hair constantly moving with the lightning!
His entire body was now enveloped in blue lightning!
"I call upon the great Zeus, ruler of gods and men, king of the gods!"
"Great Zeus of Mount Olympus, King of Thunder and Power, King of the Gods!"
"In the name of the King of Gods, roar, Thunder Spear!"
The blue lightning on Mephistopheles's body transformed into golden light at that moment. His physical body was further strengthened by this golden lightning, and a phantom even appeared behind him, majestic and seemingly representing everything in the world!
Upon seeing this phantom, everyone present instinctively felt a sense of worship and submission.
