Chapter 458 - Chapter 444: Brand New Mystic Code, The Imminent Final Battle!

[ The scene shifts. In a conference room, a man with a ponytail seems to breathe a rare sigh of relief: "Finally, the last battle is approaching!"

"Fou… Fou." Fou arrived in front of Dr. Roman and cried out, as if saying something to him.

"It's you, how rare!" Dr. Roman looked down, appearing somewhat surprised: "I thought you were a creature that, like Merlin, treated humans as food and had absolutely no interest in them."

"Fou!"

"Sure enough, I still can't understand what you're saying. Maybe I could in the past." ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"Wait, Doctor?? …Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

Everyone stared blankly at the cute white creature. It was indeed a mysterious creature, and it looked quite cute, but hearing you say that makes it feel terrifying!

 .....

〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea〜

Hearing these words, Mash had completely crashed, feeling that her brain wasn't quite sufficient:

"Never mind, Merlin, but Fou… treats humans as food??"

The bold and skilled Fujimaru Ritsuka picked up Fou and looked him up and down. There seemed to be nothing wrong; he was as cute as ever.

Coming back to her senses, Mash discovered the key point:

"Wait, Doctor, how can you understand Fou? Also… what do you mean by 'could understand in the past'?"

"…"

Facing the inquiries, Dr. Roman chose silence, wanting to cry but having no tears. He really felt he couldn't stay in this Chaldea any longer!

Repeatedly jumping on the edge of exposing his identity every single moment was simply too challenging for his heart to bear!

 .....

[ Dr. Roman picked Fou up, seemingly sighing with emotion: "However, I probably know what you want to say."

"You want to say 'Is this really okay', right?"

"Not long ago, Magi*Mari also got angry at me like this, saying something like, 'It's about time you stopped keeping secrets!'" ]

[ .....]

〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜

In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—

Watching this scene, the Wise King Gilgamesh, who was in the Ziggurat of Uruk, began to curve his lips into a smile:

"Hmp huahahaha, things seem to be getting amusing. You can't hide your identity anymore, Romani!"

When Merlin heard the name Magi*Mari, he quickly turned his head away and snickered secretly:

"Pfft… Mari… Hahaha."

A certain old white-haired internet scammer laughed very wickedly, a look of anticipation gradually emerging on his face, looking forward to the moment his alt account got busted.

"???…"

Ishtar was even more bewildered. She really couldn't understand why a blonde and a white-haired guy, who were perfectly fine a moment ago, suddenly started laughing maniacally like Uchiha.

Seriously, what are you laughing at? Can't you say it out loud so we can be happy together? Is there anything in the content above worth laughing so wildly about?

 .....

[ "Thinking back, in these 10 years, aside from studying and researching, I haven't done anything else." Just like that, Dr. Roman reached out and gently stroked Fou, falling into memories.

"One day, I vaguely had a premonition of humanity's extinction…"

The scene also began to change. Dr. Roman was seen carrying luggage, walking on a lively street. Watching the beautiful fireworks in the sky, a smile also appeared on his face.

"It felt just like having a nightmare."

The originally beautiful fireworks turned into countless pale hands, reaching towards him as if to drag him into the darkness.

"I had no evidence to deny it, nor the power to verify it. The only clue was that everything was based around Chaldea."

"I could only harbor the fear that I must do something, and in these 10 years, I did everything I could!"

In order to save the world that was about to perish, he never stopped during these 10 years, constantly learning all kinds of knowledge, learning everything that could be learned.

After ending his reminiscence, Dr. Roman held Fou and looked around at the Chaldea terminal, appearing to continue speaking to Fou.

"After this battle ends, my unease will also disappear, and I will finally be able to spend my time as I please." ]

[ .....]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

"Hiss—, I originally thought you were just a civilian staff member, I didn't expect you to be no simple character either!"

Could a person who predicted the extinction of humanity and spent 10 years learning all learnable knowledge be an ordinary person?

People in other worlds gasped in unison. As expected, this world is intense; it starts right off with a prophecy of human extinction! This pressure is heavy enough.

However, you are raising a death flag, Doctor! Someone, hurry up and gag him; he has said every single line that one absolutely shouldn't say before a fight!

 .....

〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea〜

At this moment, Dr. Roman was already sweating profusely, being looked up and down by Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others:

"Speaking of which, we don't seem to know the Doctor very well…"

What exactly are you still hiding from us? Doctor!

Although the screen didn't reveal too much information, Fujimaru Ritsuka still felt a sense of oppression. He felt a sense of urgency coming from the Doctor!

It was as if he were being chased by something that didn't allow him to stop his footsteps.

"Do you really not intend to explain? The inexplicable dream, and…"

Da Vinci asked, seemingly pointing at something.

Facing everyone's inquiries, Dr. Roman was silent for a moment, put down the teacup in his hand, and gave a bitter smile:

"It doesn't matter if we wait a bit longer. Let's keep watching."

Fujimaru Ritsuka also began to worry in his heart. Doctor… back then, what kind of terrible future did you see in your eyes?!

...

Unlike Fujimaru Ritsuka's deep worry, the ordinary people of their world had come to terms with it, or rather, they had given up. It couldn't be helped; who told their world to talk about destruction every single day!

Starting off with world destruction is such a great difficulty level; this world is just too disaster-prone.

 .....

[ "Fou!" Just then, Fou suddenly jumped into the control room and started typing on the keyboard. Dr. Roman was also quite surprised.

"Solomon's origins? I do have a clue about that point. If I'm not mistaken, Solomon has a flaw."

"After Dr. Roman took a sip from his teacup, his voice became heavy: 'If he is both the real Solomon and someone falsely using the name of the King of Mages, then there is a blank space that is absolutely impossible to achieve!'"

"'But… I dare not know what thoughts I would have when facing that blank space.'"

"Looking at his own reflection in the teacup, Dr. Roman's voice seemed somewhat helpless, because he was just an ordinary person with 'no ability'." ]

[ .....]

〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea〜

"You said you couldn't understand Fou, but now you're conversing without barriers."

Hearing Dr. Roman speak of Solomon's origins, Fujimaru Ritsuka breathed a slight sigh of relief and also dispelled the idea that the Doctor was Solomon…

Because looking at the Doctor's serious expression, it didn't look like he was talking about himself at all! He must have been overthinking it.

In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—

"Don't you know clearly whether that is the real Solomon or not?"

The corner of Gilgamesh's mouth twitched slightly.

But now that he couldn't use his Clairvoyance, he couldn't read the script to see how the ending would turn out, nor could he pull off any flashy maneuvers.

The Wise King Gilgamesh suddenly remembered the Magi*Mari that Dr. Roman mentioned and said with some significance:

"Merlin… you seem to have a good relationship with him. Do you know something?"

"The relationship is not bad, but it's limited to the internet,"

Merlin reached out and stroked his chin in thought, deciding it was better to be direct:

"How about… I go online and ask later?"

"Forget it, you'll be beaten to death."

Looking at the shameless Merlin, King Gilgamesh was stunned.

No wonder Fou kicks him every time he sees him; he's simply too despicable.

 .....

[ The scene shifts. Fujimaru Ritsuka is wearing a pitch-black Mystic Code, looking at the Command Spells on his hand and slowly saying: "It feels different from previous Mystic Codes. It's too exaggerated!"

"Correct!" Da Vinci took a small sip of tea and then said with a serious face.

"The primary purpose of previous equipment was to guarantee your survival. Because you are the only Master, from the First to the Seventh Singularity, you absolutely could not die!"

"Our principle was that even if the locals were completely extinct, we had to make sure you survived!"

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka subconsciously clenched his fist slightly.

"But this time is different. It is equipment used for combat. The principle is that even if any sacrifice is paid, you must defeat the enemy!"

Subsequently, Da Vinci explained the characteristics of this Mystic Code. This is a Mystic Code that allows summoning solely by the Master.

Although it requires Mash's shield, it does not need leylines or catalysts. Although there are only 7 times, you can summon Heroic Spirits you deem suitable for the current situation at any time!

"However, it's best to use it as little as possible if you can." Da Vinci still added a warning: "This will cause a burden on your nerves, causing damage from inside the body."

"Even so, as long as the brain and heart are still functioning, you can still fight!" ]

[ .....]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

"This is going all out for the final battle, leaving absolutely no way of retreat, or rather… There is no retreat to speak of!"

At this moment, even the breathing of everyone outside the video became heavy, feeling immense pressure. This was a battle with no retreat.

Either fight to the death or win victory! This is a battle to save the world; there is only winning, no losing!

 .....

〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜

In the 6th singularity, Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot—

At this moment, Ozymandias frowned slightly:

"Only 7 summoning chances? But for such a grand scene, how can this King be absent!"

The key point is, if that fellow Gilgamesh gets summoned and this King doesn't, where would this King put his face?

〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜

"As long as the brain and heart are still there, one can continue to fight. It seems they are really risking it all this time!"

Emiya Shirou could already imagine how tragic this upcoming battle would be.

From equipment originally designed to preserve life as much as possible, it changed to a Mystic Code that risked everything just to fight as much as possible.

Tohsaka Rin was thinking about how to maximize the use of these seven summons:

"Since there are seven chances, can 7 Grand Servants be summoned?"

Since the title is called the Grand Time Temple, maybe seven Grands will really be summoned then.

"Not realistic…"

Archer shook his head. The stronger the Servant, the greater the burden.

Leaving aside whether Grand-level entities can be summoned, even if the summoning is successful, Fujimaru Ritsuka's nerves would probably burn out first from being unable to bear it.

Is this the final chapter? Has the time for parting arrived? It feels like there are knives(tragedy) ahead…
