Chapter 359: [359] The Doctor and Magical Meri Publicly Executed, and Souma’s Journey to Open the Singularity Begins [2]
"I’m already dead???!!!"
Olga Marie fell into shock.
She was still in the process of spirit transfer, and once she returned, she would undoubtedly die!
"No, no, no! Help me! Someone save me! I... I don’t want to die here!"
Olga Marie’s body suddenly floated up.
Under some unseen force, she quickly moved away from everyone.
"Director? Director, what are you doing?" Mash looked at her in shock.
But it was already too late.
Olga Marie stopped struggling, looking sadly at everyone. "I am Olga Marie, the director of Chaldea. It seems my life is coming to an end. But you must not stop! The flower of hope will surely bloom!"
Her figure suddenly vanished.
She had already died in the earlier explosion; what remained was just a fragment of her soul.
Dr. Roman glared at Leif. "Professor Leif, why did you choose to betray us?"
"Betrayal? I’m merely following my king’s orders; it’s not betrayal at all!"
Leif laughed mockingly, "You humans have already perished! No one can change this outcome because it is humanity’s own history that denies humanity!"
"Ha! It’s all because of you that we lost the king’s favor. Let you be burned to ashes like worthless scrap paper!"
He had fallen into a frenzied madness.
It was humanity that had caused him and all the demonic gods to lose the supreme favor of the king.
Unforgivable!
Humanity must be utterly destroyed!
However.
In the reality of Chaldea.
Seeing this scene, Gilgamesh smirked, "This Professor Leif almost wiped out Chaldea and is called the ’Crown-Grade Bomber.’ I can’t help but feel there’s a more fitting title for him."
"Oh? What title?" Qin Shi Huang feigned surprise, appearing extremely cooperative.
"Hahaha, of course, it’s ’Crown-Grade Blind Man!’"
Gil laughed particularly joyfully.
This Professor Leif is too funny; clearly, the king he admires is right in front of him, yet he continues to boast.
They had lived together for many years, maintaining a close friendship, yet he never recognized the doctor’s true identity.
Just as expected of you.
Truly a combination of the Crown-Grade Bomber and the Crown-Grade Blind Man!
Most importantly, he almost took out his own king!
Just watching it made Gilgamesh laugh until his stomach hurt.
When he finally recognizes the other person, I wonder what expression Professor Leif will have.
I can’t wait!
"Hahaha, indeed, what a Crown-Grade Blind Man," Qin Shi Huang couldn’t help but laugh as well.
If the other companions knew that Leif almost personally took down King Solomon, they would definitely rub his face in the dirt a hundred times.
Just imagining that scene made both of them burst into laughter.
Oh, King Solomon, you’re truly fortunate to have such a subordinate; it’s simply hilarious!
The conference room was suddenly filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Meanwhile, the person involved, Dr. Roman, looked extremely awkward.
This is so embarrassing!
Listening to the two’s laughter, Dr. Roman felt a dark future ahead.
These two guys just came to mock him, wanting to see him make a fool of himself in public.
This is just the appetizer.
The main course is still waiting, guaranteed to make him laugh until he bursts!
Should I find an excuse to escape?
Dr. Roman glanced at the two men beside him, clearly not planning to let him leave.
I’m doomed!
Under his despairing gaze.
The video continued.
The singularity began to collapse, forcing Professor Leif, who had intended to attack the people of Chaldea, to hurriedly leave.
Meanwhile, the people of Chaldea also began their spirit transfer to return.
In the video, Dr. Roman looked at Nameless and Mash and began an impassioned speech—
"I, Romani Archiman, will become the acting director and inherit Director Olga’s will!"
"Our goal is to protect and reclaim human history!"
"Our adversary is history itself. What stands before you are the myths and legends of the past!"
"As Director Olga said, as long as we keep moving forward, the flower of hope will surely bloom!"
"In the name of the highest mission of the magical world, we shall reclaim the future!"
The true Crown-Grade designation was activated.
They would venture into various histories, repairing the problematic singularities and reclaiming the future.
In this war.
Famous figures from history and mythology would become their enemies.
The road ahead was fraught with thorns and blood, with almost no hope in sight.
Nameless glanced at Mash, sighed softly, and muttered to himself, "Looks like I’ll have to work overtime again..."
Clearly wanting to lie down and rest, yet he couldn’t help but step onto the difficult path of protecting humanity.
"Senpai, what are you saying?" Mash looked at him curiously.
"Nothing. From now on, I’ll be counting on you."
Nameless smiled at the little shield girl.
"Mm, I’ll be counting on you too, Senpai."
Mash nodded repeatedly.
As expected of a senior.
It was thanks to his guidance that she quickly grasped the power of the Heroic Spirits.
The scene shifted.
They directly descended into the first singularity, titled—
"The Hundred Years’ War of the Evil Dragon: Orléans"
In the footage.
A familiar girl with silver-gray hair, wearing a black horseshoe-shaped headpiece, stood in a magnificent cathedral.
She gazed at the statue of "the Lord" and said, "If the Lord truly exists, He must surely send down divine punishment upon me, right?"
This girl was the Dark Saint, Jeanne d’Arc.
But contrary to the display, she had resurrected and returned to Orléans just days after her execution.
The Demon King had given her the Holy Grail, allowing her to summon six Heroic Spirits.
She aimed to use these Heroic Spirits and dragons to completely destroy all of France!
Disaster struck.
Everywhere was filled with slaughter and battle, turning into a hell on earth.
Countless horrific scenes flashed by.
Leaving the audience momentarily stunned—
[The Saint actually wants to destroy France? Did we escape a calamity by chance?]
[Jeanne is truly pitiful; she liberated Orléans but was sent to the stake. It’s no wonder she turned dark!]
[Thank goodness for Nameless; otherwise, the Jeanne descending into reality would surely unleash a massacre!]
[How long did the French hold out against the darkened Jeanne?]
[Don’t insult France—most likely, they raised their hands and paid their respects to the Saint!]
In the hotel.
Jeanne looked bewildered at her appearance in the video: "In the previous preview, I was Nameless’s ally. How did I become the villainous boss?"
So strange!
Completely unacceptable.
It should have been her moment of glory, yet it turned into this public execution!
Damn it, if that’s the case, she’s no different from the Altria who became the divine lion king!
For a moment, Jeanne felt utterly despondent.
Ugh, I’m so angry!
Alfie frowned slightly, "So, under Her Majesty’s advance, how long can France hold out?"
"Um, that’s hard to say," Lancelot replied with a strange expression.
Previously, after the era of Heroic Spirits began.
The heroic spirits made their grand entrance one after another.
Ordinary people naturally held a mix of awe and hostility towards these heroic spirits.
However, the arrival of Jeanne d’Arc, in her dark saintly guise, plunged countless French citizens into extreme fear.
They simply could not believe that someone who had been burned alive by the French could still protect them.
Thus,
the French launched a desperate resistance, achieving an unprecedented unity to fight to the end.
As a result, day after day, the newspapers published a series of headlines.
On the first day――
[A monster resurrected from hell descends upon Orléans!]
On the second day――
[The unspeakable dragon of destruction, the witch, arrives in Grenoble!]
On the third day――
[The despicable and shameless witch of destruction has crushed the French army.]
On the fourth day――
[Jeanne d’Arc occupies Lyon!]
On the fifth day――
[Saint Jeanne d’Arc approaches Fontainebleau!]
On the sixth day――
[Her Supreme Holiness, the Saint, arrives in her most loyal Paris!]
Well, it lasted about five days.
Lancelot, as a knight of the Round Table from Britain born in France, had completely lost all confidence in his homeland.
In reality,
it wasn’t just him; even Napoleon, the illustrious figure in French history, had unhesitatingly refused to continue being the Emperor of France.
Previously, he had led France in battles across the south and north, nearly unifying Western Europe, only to be betrayed by the French.
In the end, he was exiled to a lonely island, where he died in solitude.
The other party had indeed become a heroic spirit, yet refused to appear before the world.
Lancelot had seen him once, and the Supreme Emperor of France had turned into an ordinary fisherman.
Jeanne d’Arc watched the video, her headache intensifying.
In this first singularity, she herself was the final boss.
She hadn’t even recognized Nameless, engaging in a life-and-death struggle with him, showing no mercy whatsoever.
No wonder Nameless hadn’t come to see her!
After fighting fiercely, and with her summoning a group of heroic spirits to gang up on him, how could he possibly come to meet her?
She was so angry!
The video continued.
Chaldea and Jeanne’s faction engaged in battle after battle.
When surrounded by three heroic spirits and in a precarious situation,
Doctor Roman, who remained at Chaldea, suddenly sent out a plea for help online――
"Merlin-chan, we are under attack by three Servants, what should we do? Urgent, waiting online!"
Yes, this doctor was actually seeking help from a virtual idol!
And that virtual idol, [Magical☆Merlin], replied without hesitation――
[Hmm, why don’t you just die and be reborn?]
