Two days had passed since the Fairy Transference Incident.
The Clock Tower was currently assessing the damages.
A significant number of Mages had died, a truly immense loss for the Clock Tower.
As for the instigator of this incident, the Fairy Queen, Morgan, she had already been captured and was now imprisoned in a special building within the Clock Tower.
The hero who captured Morgan, the brave individual who ended the war, the invincible expert who fought Morgan one-on-one without falling behind—
Mo Shuying's name was now known to everyone at the Clock Tower.
The Master from Chaldea had played a crucial role in this incident, while also demonstrating his formidable strength.
Countless Mages realized one thing:
Oh! So humans can be this strong too!
Many young Mages who participated in the battle had secretly begun to idolize Mo Shuying, seeing him as a lifelong goal to strive for.
Mo Shuying felt quite speechless about this. He wanted to tell them that there was no comparison between ordinary people and those who cheated, but it was difficult to explain, so he just let it go.
As a result, Mo Shuying rarely left his room these past two days. Whenever he did, he would be surrounded, everyone staring at him as if he were some rare animal. Mo Shuying disliked this intensely.
That afternoon.
Mo Shuying had just finished communicating with Romani, and through that call, he learned something.
Just two days prior, a new Singularity had been discovered.
A Singularity named Agartha, the Subterranean World, had suddenly appeared, and Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash had already led a team to fix it.
The Subterranean World? Agartha?
This…
Numerous female Heroic Spirits instantly flashed through Mo Shuying's mind. He clicked his tongue. Such a good place, and they didn't wait for him to go back and join them!
However, Mo Shuying soon discovered a problem.
Since Goetia's defeat, new Singularities had only appeared twice.
Once was Shinjuku, and the other was this Agartha.
During the Shinjuku incident, Mo Shuying happened to be causing havoc in Nihon.
And this time, Agartha was also known as a land of paradise, a fantastical utopia.
Looking at it this way, and considering the timing…
Mo Shuying wondered, Are the appearances of these special Singularities related to him?
He triggered Shinjuku when he was in Nihon, and now, in the so-called Fairy Realm, he's triggered Agartha. Can it really be such a coincidence?
With this question lingering, Mo Shuying ended the call. He checked the time, then sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.
Yes, Mo Shuying had reached a bottleneck in his Spirit Summoning cultivation. He felt that with just a little more effort, he could summon his Guardian Spirit, but this thin, film-like bottleneck was incredibly resilient.
After cultivating for two hours, someone arrived.
"Master, it's almost time for the judgment meeting. We need to leave."
Tomoe Gozen's voice came from the doorway. The so-called judgment meeting was essentially a gathering of the Clock Tower's high-ranking officials to discuss how to deal with Morgan.
As the greatest contributor to Morgan's capture, Mo Shuying naturally qualified to attend this meeting.
Mo Shuying had been cooped up in his room for days and was feeling bored. Perfect, he could go see how the Clock Tower intended to handle Morgan.
An ancient, towering structure, with countless runes shimmering with light.
Pure black chains crisscrossed, and at the very center of these chains, a beautiful woman was bound.
Morgan was confined here. These chains sealed her Mana and continuously drained it. In such a state, even a mythological-level Mage would lose their power.
Morgan's face was expressionless. She was conscious, even clearly hearing what the people below were saying.
At the base of the tall tower, a massive round table was set in the middle.
Surrounding the table were the Clock Tower's high-ranking officials.
Aside from the Director and the Magecraft Marshal, almost all the Lords were present, along with the newly added Mo Shuying.
"The Fairy Queen's power is absolutely immense. I'm wondering whether or not to execute her? You know, in the past three days, she's provided Mana for over a dozen magic towers. How about we just keep her sealed here, permanently?"
The Lord of the Mineralogy Department spoke. He believed Morgan's life could be spared, but while capital punishment might be avoided, she wouldn't escape lesser penalties. Morgan would become a Mana nuclear power plant from now on.
"I object."
Gaius Ling, the Lord of the Animal Department, raised his objection, stating solemnly.
"Everyone has seen the Fairy Queen's power. Such an enemy absolutely cannot be kept alive. Although we won this battle, can you guarantee that a hundred years from now, when we are gone, someone else will be able to subdue her? She is a mythological-level Mage. Given time, I don't believe she won't be able to decipher these anti-magic incantations. If she escapes then, the Clock Tower might face nothing but destruction."
Gaius Ling's words received approval from several Lords, who found them very reasonable.
Everyone debated intensely, with only Lorelei and Magdaniel remaining silent.
Bartholomew and Rufus were still receiving treatment. Their injuries were too severe and required some time to recover, so they were not present at this meeting.
As the arguments grew more heated, Magdaniel finally spoke.
"Alright! What is this behavior? Do you still have any semblance of a Lord? You're making a joke out of yourselves in front of my brother."
Magdaniel looked at Mo Shuying and continued.
"Mo, what are your thoughts?"
As Magdaniel asked this, Lorelei also looked at Mo Shuying, seemingly waiting for him to express his opinion.
"Me?"
Mo Shuying had only come to observe, so he was surprised to be called upon suddenly.
"Yes, you were the one who defeated her. By the rules, you have the right to decide her fate."
"Huh?"
Mo Shuying perked up at Magdaniel's words and asked, "I can dispose of her however I want? Can I take her with me?"
"...About that."
Magdaniel felt a bit awkward. He had just been trying to be polite, but Mo Shuying was truly not holding back.
"Haha, just kidding, trying to liven things up."
Mo Shuying felt gazes from around him, and even from above. He looked up and met Morgan's eyes, who seemed angry.
"I think..."
Mo Shuying thought for a moment, but he truly had no particular ideas. He didn't care about Morgan's fate.
But he didn't finish his sentence.
"Hm?"
Lorelei suddenly frowned, placed a hand to her ear, then nodded with a serious expression.
"Okay, I understand."
Lorelei lowered her hand, looked at everyone, and then spoke.
"I just received communication from the Marshal. The Fairy Queen cannot be executed for now. Someone has come to vouch for her."
"What?"
All the Lords showed surprised expressions. Who could possibly persuade the Magecraft Marshal to personally guarantee her?
