"You're here to stock up, aren't you? This is all I have! Take it and go!"
Mo Shuying was practically kicked out, but he still got the Judas' Kiss. He didn't get all eighteen hundred, but twenty Judas' Kiss was enough to make him very happy and confident.
Sure enough, all fear stems from insufficient firepower. After this is over, I need to research whether the Philosopher's Stone can also be used for demolition. Conveniently, the materials I got from Gilgamesh aren't used up yet. I can give it a try.
Leaving the lab, Mo Shuying went to see Artoria and Karna. These two had been incredibly bored lately. Karna was constantly looking for someone to spar with, and Artoria was naturally the best candidate, but Artoria was only interested in the new dishes in the cafeteria and completely ignored Karna.
As soon as he heard there was a battle, and a tough one at that, Karna couldn't suppress the heat emanating from his body.
Artoria took a bite of her "Stargazing Pie" and nodded.
"Is the final battle finally beginning?! Excellent! I, your King, can hardly wait! Watching your adventures be so thrilling and exciting, while we just sit here with nothing to do, it's been too boring!"
Karna, for once, wholeheartedly agreed with Artoria, nodding vigorously.
"Soon. This final battle, without a doubt, will be incredibly difficult. When the time comes, if you two have any energy left, please help look after Ritsuka and Mash. The pressure is too much for two girls."
Mo Shuying instructed. Karna nodded; as a male Deity, he felt it was his duty to protect women.
But Artoria frowned and shook her head.
"That's a statement I don't like to hear. They haven't gotten to where they are today by being protected. Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash are both excellent warriors. Are you looking down on girls?"
"..."
Mo Shuying opened his mouth but couldn't find a reason to explain. He couldn't possibly say he was worried Mash would sacrifice herself to block an attack, could he?
"You're right, I spoke out of turn. Alright, there's still some time to rest. You two should prepare as well."
Mo Shuying left after saying that; he also needed to prepare for this battle.
Honestly, could this battle be won with 100% certainty? The answer was yes, but it would involve great sacrifice, which Mo Shuying didn't want to see.
But how to achieve victory without sacrifice? That was difficult, especially since "Solomon" was no pushover.
Returning to his room, Mo Shuying sat cross-legged on his bed and began pulling out various bottles and jars. These were all potions obtained from daily sign-ins, some of which could increase combat attributes. While they didn't significantly enhance Mo Shuying, something was better than nothing; perhaps that tiny bit of damage would make a difference.
Then came the Class Cards.
Arthur, Wolf King, Manni, and even Heracles—these were all powerful cards. Used correctly, they could have excellent effects.
Especially the Berserker Heracles card. He wondered if its Twelve Labors could withstand the attacks.
"This is frustrating."
Mo Shuying then took out Uruk's large cup. Speaking of which, this thing seemed capable of granting wishes. Should he try wishing to directly eliminate "Solomon"? Though he knew it probably wouldn't work.
"While I have a lot of Mana, if I use the Sword of Promised Victory with the Thirteen Restraints released, the Mana consumption for a single strike is astonishing. Perhaps..."
Mo Shuying looked at the Holy Grail, deep in thought, and just then...
*"Creak!"*
The door opened, and Dr. Roman walked in.
"Is it time for the meeting, Romani?"
Mo Shuying put away the Holy Grail, preparing to get off the bed, when he heard Romani speak.
"Do you think we can win this time?"
"Hmm?"
Mo Shuying paused. He felt Dr. Roman's voice sounded off.
"Leave it to fate, do your best. Nothing is impossible."
Mo Shuying sat on the edge of his bed and replied.
Dr. Roman shook his head.
"Naive. Don't think that just because you've resolved 7 Singularities you're invincible. Those were just appetizers. For Solomon, the outcome is already predetermined; he simply disdains acting prematurely."
"..."
Mo Shuying was now certain that this Romani was problematic. If he wasn't mistaken, it had to be "Solomon" in disguise.
"So, I don't understand. Why not seize the opportunity to eradicate everything? Why give humanity a glimmer of hope? Is it out of pity?"
Mo Shuying stared directly at "Romani," their gazes locking. Finally, Romani turned his head away.
"Pity or not, Humanity's Incineration is a foregone conclusion. Only by converting these 3000 years of human history into Mana can one possibly leap to the origin point of this planet. I once asked you if you'd like to work under me. I'll ask you again now: are you willing to submit to my command?"
As he spoke, Romani's body began to change, ultimately transforming into that grinning Solomon!
"The answer goes without saying, doesn't it?"
Mo Shuying smiled. He was just one step away from checkmate, and you're still trying to turn me?
"Truly... I thought you weren't from this world and wouldn't have any attachment or feelings for it, and would choose the correct path. I didn't expect..."
"Solomon" shook his head, but then he suddenly thought of something and spoke.
"Then, if I promise to help you return to your original world, will you help me?"
"No way!!"
Mo Shuying nearly exploded! He had only just managed to wish his way here, and now you want to send him back! Back to square one, right?!
"That's truly a shame. Farewell."
"Solomon" snapped his fingers, and Mo Shuying's eyes widened suddenly. In "Solomon's" gaze, he lost all life and crashed heavily to the ground.
Having done this, Solomon turned and vanished, leaving Chaldea.
After "Solomon" departed,
"Buzz~"
Mo Shuying's body became ethereal, then completely disappeared. The next second, a whole Mo Shuying reappeared in his original spot.
"Damn it! I forgot about that curse! As expected, Mundo's passive didn't work! Good thing I still had a Guardian Angel!"
Mo Shuying wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was almost taken out in his own home! That was close!
But dying once still gave Mo Shuying a headache, because he didn't know if the curse was a one-time thing or if it could be used repeatedly.
Guardian Angel's cooldown was 5 minutes. If Solomon cast the curse again within those 5 minutes, wouldn't he die a miserable death?
"No, no, no! Just in case! I need to equip this card first!"
Mo Shuying switched to his second Class Card template, equipping a Berserker card. Mo Shuying clearly felt a surge of frenzy welling up inside him, and his body began to swell! But Mo Shuying's will was clear, and he forcibly controlled his body, preventing it from changing too much.
Feeling the explosive power within him, Mo Shuying finally relaxed a little. With this card's Noble Phantasm, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Just then,
Detected that you have not signed in today. Would you like to sign in?
Outside, there was nothing left, and time had become chaotic for Mo Shuying. Unbeknownst to him, it was already midnight.
"Sign in."
Ding~ Host successfully signed in. Obtained skill [Endless Rage].
"(⊙o⊙) Huh?"
