Chapter 82 - Chapter 82: Solomon

At this moment, in the vast light screen.

[Endless white light suddenly bloomed, and the aura of destruction erupted like a violent storm!]

[Under this extremely terrifying Noble Phantasm assault, the nine Demon God Pillars were once again blasted to pieces, turning into dust that filled the sky!]

[In the brief time bought by this destructive attack, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash swiftly and resolutely crossed this dangerous zone.]

[Their figures flickered amidst the white light and dust, yet they always maintained their direction of advance, unwilling to stop or hesitate even for a moment.]

[And on the other side.]

[The blonde girl Nero, along with the Heroic Spirits of the Roman Singularity, appeared as if descending gods.]

[She raised the bright red sword in her hand, pointing it at the terrifying Demon God Pillars. Her gorgeous crimson long skirt fluttered in the wind, as passionate and dazzling as flames.]

[At that moment, countless petals suddenly fell from the sky, adding a touch of fantasy and romance to the battle.]

[This was Nero, an emperor brimming with vitality and charm.]

When the audience first saw this scene, they almost mistook her for the legendary King Arthur reappearing.

However, they soon realized that although this girl and King Arthur shared similar appearances, their temperaments and details were completely different.

King Arthur gave off a noble and solemn knightly aura, but the girl on the screen was full of vitality and exuberance.

Her face was exquisite and picturesque, her clothing colors bright and eye-catching, and her green eyes sparkled with wisdom and determination.

Especially the single strand of hair sticking up on her head, which added a touch of playfulness and cuteness.

Besides their temperaments, the two kings also had obvious differences in mindset and bearing. The audience secretly sighed, realizing these were indeed not kings of the same caliber!

However, this did not affect Nero's battle.

In the light screen.

[At this moment, endless magical energy surged from Nero's body, as if to envelop the entire world under her radiance.]

["Construct it, Aestus Domus Aurea!" she shouted loudly, her voice full of strength and determination.]

["The greatest light is displayed once more!" As her words fell, a dazzling light erupted from her sword blade and shot into the sky!]

[Amidst the golden light, an ancient and magnificent golden palace quietly emerged. It was like a dream.]

[A satisfied smile bloomed on Nero's face as she walked lightly and gracefully.]

[The uniquely shaped red sword in her hand was as vibrant as a persimmon, now slowly scattering gorgeous petals.]

[Nero's voice echoed melodiously: "Witness my talent! Hear the thunderous applause; they are odes to the glory of the ruler! Let the joy in your heart bloom like a flower!"]

["Raise the curtain! Welcome this fascinating Golden Theater!!!"]

[She declared loudly, "Let this blooming rose be our gift of encouragement as we advance!!!"]

["Flowers flutter, stars explode; this is the most supreme beauty! [Aestus Domus Aurea]!!!"]

[As she called out, a roar suddenly sounded.]

[The golden, magnificent building seemed to leap out of myth, appearing out of thin air on the screen.]

[Its splendor and grandeur were beyond the imagination of the mortal world!]

[As soon as the building appeared, even the Demon God Pillars couldn't help but let out wails!]

The audience was shocked by this scene and watched intently.

And in the Fate/EXTRA world.

Hakuno Kishinami witnessed all this with an unbelievable expression. He murmured to himself: "That is..."

He couldn't believe his eyes and couldn't help pinching his thigh.

The pain confirmed this wasn't a dream. He truly saw the girl on the screen—his former Servant, Nero!

The sound of "Umu" seemed to resound in his mind once more.

"It's wonderful to see you so full of life."

The comrade who once fought side by side with him... At this moment, Hakuno Kishinami's eyes were filled with nostalgia.

Simultaneously, comments continued to flow like water on the light screen.

[Comments]

[Tōsaka Rin: Huh? Am I seeing things? The legendary King Arthur was a woman, and now even the Roman Emperor is a woman? And they look exactly the same?]

[Romani Archiman: It's really a bit unbelievable. If you put these two together and said they were twin sisters, I'd believe it... The gap between reality and the history books is too great!]

[Mordred: Don't be ridiculous! Although the girl on the screen looks exactly like my father, my father is at least 1.6 meters tall, while Nero on the screen looks at most 1.5 meters!]

[Nero Claudius: Umu, I believe I saw someone insulting me, Mordred!]

[Mordred: Even though you have the same face as my father, I don't have to be hostile towards you because of that. I'm just stating a fact!]

[Divine Ancestor Romulus: Oh, oh, oh! This is the glory of Rome! You have done well, Nero! Let the world see what true Rome is!]

[Caligula: Nero... Nero!!!]

[Gilgamesh: ??? This is strange. I'm sure I don't know the girl on the screen, so why am I so interested in that red figure?]

[Hakuno Kishinami: I wonder if this light screen will show the Holy Grail War I participated in. Although it's a thing of the past, it would be very interesting for me, a participant, to become a spectator.]

At this moment, in the light screen in the sky.

[In another corner far from Nero.]

[Witnessing this scene, Romulus also stood up involuntarily.]

[However, this time, he did not appear in the full glory of the Divine Ancestor, but used his own "alternate Spirit Origin".]

[Despite this, he still radiated astonishing magical energy. Although it was only an alternate Spirit Origin of the Lancer class, his strength was not to be underestimated.]

["Everything will be protected by my love!" he declared loudly. "My spear reaches all things!"]

[As soon as the words fell, a roar suddenly sounded.]

[Under the shocked gazes of all the Heroic Spirits and Chaldea personnel present, countless trees rose from the ground, intertwining into a green barrier.]

[Then, these trees seemed to turn into raging waves, rushing towards the Demon God Pillars with overwhelming force!]

[In an instant, those Demon God Pillars were swallowed up by this terrifying energy without a trace.]

The audience was dumbfounded witnessing this feat. This was the strength of the Divine Ancestor!

In the world of Avalon, Merlin wasn't too surprised seeing this scene.

"It's completely expected... But that guy is slacking off a bit! At least appear in your prime form!"

Merlin saw things clearly.

He knew the founding emperor of Rome on the screen had not appeared in his true form.

Otherwise, the one standing there wouldn't just be an ordinary Lancer!

It would be a true Grand Servant!

And in the world of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Kirei Kotomine and Gilgamesh looked at the scene displayed on the light screen, their faces showing pleasure.

"With this light screen, I don't need to seek pleasure. Pleasure comes to me on its own!"

After sighing, he glanced at Kirei Kotomine beside him.

"Well, do you understand a little now?"

What responded to him was Kirei Kotomine's hearty, healthy laughter!

[Comments]

[Flat Escardos: This light screen is truly magical. Thanks to its existence, we can witness such shocking scenes.]

[Waver Velvet: Indeed, most of the Heroic Spirits appearing on the light screen are familiar to me, and I feel I might not get to see most of them in my lifetime.]

[Tōsaka Tokiomi: But the battle shown at this moment should benefit all viewers. Whether it's seeing Heroic Spirits one normally couldn't, or witnessing unheard-of magecraft and Noble Phantasms, it's very beneficial!]

[Merlin: With this light screen, I won't feel bored even in Avalon. I truly hope it can exist forever!]

At this moment, amid the heated discussions of the audience, the battle between everyone and the Demon God Pillars finally came to an end.

At this moment, in the light screen.

[Under the cover of countless dazzling energies, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, sheltered by many Heroic Spirits, finally broke through numerous obstacles and arrived at a band of purple energy.]

[And over there—lay the Throne of Solomon! Awaiting them there was the ultimate enemy of all—the King of Mages, Solomon!]

Witnessing this scene, the audience began a heated discussion.

[Comments]

[Gilgamesh: The King of Mages Solomon in the Temple of Time—now he will finally reveal his true face!]

[Sesshōin Kiara: I never expected to be able to witness the heroic figure of Solomon.]

[Romani Archiman: Finally, the final decisive battle is about to begin! The enemy is the King of Mages Solomon! No, strictly speaking, it is an enemy bearing the appearance of the King of Mages!]

[Leonardo da Vinci: This will be the final battle... We must win this battle and return alive!]

[Emiya Shirō: Finally, the true purpose and true face of the King of Mages can be revealed. I hope there will be no casualties in this battle.]

[Irisviel von Einzbern: Do your best, everyone in Chaldea... You must return alive!]

At this moment, countless viewers were praying for Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash.

Under the gaze of the crowd, in the light screen.

[The two bravely crossed the boundary.]

[As they stepped onto that path, the ancient murals reappeared before them, and the sky was dyed a strange blood-red!]

[An empty, silent voice echoed in the ears of the two: "You have witnessed much sorrow."]

[Accompanied by this voice, one image after another appeared before everyone.]

[Countless people were experiencing pain and praying for salvation.]

[Sorrow overflowed from the screen.]

["Even if Solomon cannot feel anything, we cannot endure such treatment."]

["You cannot feel anything? Do you not intend to correct these sorrows?"]

["Not really. For God is the one who persuades people, and the king is only responsible for organizing human existence."]

["How can we endure such truth? How can we allow such inequality!!!"]

[It seemed like a question, yet it was answering itself, expressing and instilling its own ideas.]

[Accompanied by the sound of anger, endless blood-red filled the entire world.]

Looking at the scene in the light screen and hearing the voice within,

the overflowing emotions seemed to affect everyone.

Endless anger erupted in everyone's hearts.

But soon, the attention of all viewers was captured by the scene displayed in the light screen.

[The stars were moving; countless stars emitting brilliant light were inlaid upon the emerald stone. This was the Throne of Solomon!]

["Welcome to this place, everyone from Chaldea!!"] That voice undoubtedly announced the mastermind behind it all—the black hand behind the Incineration of Humanity, the King of Mages Solomon!]

At this moment, the audience was extremely excited! Finally, the final decisive battle was about to begin!

They firmly believed all mysteries would be completely revealed on this screen!

Everyone was curious about how the story would conclude and how it would end. They stared intently at the screen, afraid of missing any detail!

Through the dialogue between the characters, the audience finally understood the truth behind the Incineration of Humanity! Why the massive band of light in the sky possessed such terrifying energy!

It turned out the massive band of light was a collection of all energy on Earth, using human history as fuel to pursue the ultimate work!

Hearing such words, the audience was shocked and found it hard to accept that Solomon actually consumed human history and life as energy to destroy Human Order! Such a truth was heartbreaking!

In the world of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu frowned, and Artoria beside him was also filled with anger.

"This behavior... must be stopped! This is evil!!"

He whispered to himself, his tone full of unquestionable determination. "What is the true identity of that Solomon?"

He stared at the screen, trying to see through the secret behind that Solomon.

He didn't understand what kind of power or existence could drive Solomon to implement such a terrifying plan.

And at this time, in the light screen.

["Who are you, Solomon...! Show your true face!"]

[Mash shouted with a serious expression.]

[Her eyes revealed determination and unyielding spirit; facing the enemy before her, she showed no fear.]

["I..." Solomon seemed to have heard something extremely ridiculous and suddenly burst into arrogant laughter, "Hahahahahahahahahahaha!! I am Solomon! At least this body is!"]

[His voice echoed in the air, filled with endless mockery and contempt.]

["Alright, the pleasant conversation ends here,"]

[He said coldly, "Let's raise the curtain on the exciting slaughter. The resistance of the Heroic Spirits is not worth mentioning at all. Indeed, I admit that as long as the Throne exists, they are an endless threat. However, they are merely Servants. As long as the Master is killed, everything ends. As long as you, the key to summoning the Heroic Spirits, are eliminated, they will all retreat without exception."]

[The sarcastic words echoed in the air, and Solomon's scarlet eyes flashed with a hint of mockery.]

["Your actions are all too ill-considered, Fujimaru Ritsuka," he continued, "the worst Master of humanity. Burn like grass. As long as you die, humanity will be completely over!"]

[Accompanying these words, terrifying magical energy surged around Solomon's body.]

[Feeling the pressure of this power, Mash immediately prepared for the upcoming battle!]

[Her figure kept shifting, the shield in her hand wielded deftly, ready for the imminent fight.]
