Chapter 76 - Chapter 76: BEAST

At this moment, on the light screen.

[The voice within keeps echoing in my ears.]

[After pouring out the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart, the voice gradually returns to a calm tone.]

[However, this calm is merely the silence before the storm.]

["We are forced to witness unbearable facts and remember the utterly ugly state of existence. Naturally, we develop the idea of changing this foul environment and situation!"]

["But where is the way out? Even if we remove the filth, humans will quickly breed new filth. The root of this mistake lies in life itself. As long as life exists, this mistake cannot be corrected!"]

[The man paused for a moment, and then his voice became unusually calm and indifferent.]

["Only by starting over can everything be redeemed. Start over and reshape everything into a perfect form."]

[At this point, the man finally revealed his thoughts without reservation.]

["Not from the chapters of history, not from the construction of the ecosystem, not from the outline of the continents, and not from the flow of time."]

["——But from nothingness!!!"]

["We have formulated a plan to reshape this planet from scratch. To do this, we need a massive amount of resources and mountains of fuel."]

Hearing this, the Heroic Spirits and mages from various worlds couldn't help but wonder. What was the purpose of such an action?

Recreate the planet?

Was that really possible?

At this moment, in Chaldea.

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Dr. Roman, eager to get an answer from him.

"Don't look at me! I don't know anything. It wasn't me!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka wanted to continue doubting, but he remembered Dr. Roman's daily performance and his habit of always taking the blame.

Coupled with the introduction of him on the light screen, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally sighed.

"Anyway, this is all in the future for us. Let's keep watching, take notes, and prevent problems before they happen!"

Meanwhile, on the light screen.

[Comments]

[Olga Marie: ? ? ? ? Did I hear that right? That King of Mages Solomon actually wants to recreate the planet? Is that really possible?]

[Zhuge Kongming (El-Melloi II): It is said that King Solomon possesses the omnipotent power granted by God. But even so, recreating a planet seems too unrealistic and far-fetched?]

[Tōsaka Tokiomi: Is this guy daydreaming? Recreating a planet? How could a human do such a thing! Even gods are powerless to recreate a planet!]

[Emiya Shirō: That's why he needs to accumulate magical energy... To recreate a planet, the amount of magical energy required is probably astronomical. And even then, I don't know why he wants to recreate the planet!]

[Artoria: Recreating the planet... if one truly intends to achieve such a feat, the required magical energy is no simple matter. So, how does that guy plan to accumulate it?]

Under the puzzled gazes of all the viewers, the voice in the light screen continued.

["For example, what we need is the heat generated by the burning of [all life on this planet]."]

["A single recycling is far from enough. We must go back from the future to the past and recycle in all directions."]

[He enumerated the flow of time, "one second, one minute, one hour, one day, one month, one year. In the process of retracing, we continuously recycle the heat generated at these time nodes."]

["Only in this way can we achieve our goal. Recycle the maximum heat of the planet for approximately three thousand years..."]

[The man seemed immersed in his grand plan, his voice growing more and more excited.]

["When we recycle, manage, and control all this heat, my great undertaking will be realized."]

["The seeds we planted across the land, engrave our anger here, and guide the way forward for our future compatriots."]

["Build temples, weave bands of light. To forget human principles, we need all of time; to destroy human principles, we need all resources."]

["——Explore the path to the final Singularity, No. 493."]

["There lies the Throne of the King of Mages——"]

[At this moment, the outline of the world became clear!]

Simultaneously, all the viewers finally understood the King of Mages' goal.

In the Chaldea world, everyone finally realized why King Solomon created those Singularities.

Romani Archiman nodded thoughtfully: "So that's it... The purpose of creating those seven Singularities is to recycle the resources and heat scattered throughout the river of time... If it truly gathers the heat of thousands of years of human history, then achieving such a feat is indeed possible!"

A grave expression appeared on his face.

He seemed to have guessed... King Solomon's true identity.

And Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately spoke up.

"Dr. Roman, do you know something?"

Romani Archiman nodded but did not answer their question.

"This is just my speculation. Although it's almost certainly correct, it hasn't been confirmed yet. Keep watching; it will be revealed anyway!"

Similarly, in the Uruk world, Gilgamesh witnessed this scene and instantly understood the mystery.

"Beast... Is this because he witnessed the suffering of others and developed this thought?"

"It seems he must be holding the principle of Compassion... Human evil is not true evil. In fact, one of the conditions for becoming a Beast is to first possess human goodness."

In just a moment, Gilgamesh understood.

"Yes, in a sense, a Beast is the ultimate form of human goodness. And the existence on the screen... It is precisely because of excessive compassion that he has fallen into evil!"

[Comments]

[Waver Velvet: So the Singularities that flashed across the light screen earlier were all the work of this mastermind? The goal is to obtain enough magical energy to reconstruct the Earth?]

[Merlin: This is truly a grand undertaking, with great determination, but it's a bit too extreme.]

[Emiya Kiritsugu: Did Dr. Roman, after becoming human, witness these things, which is why he has worked so hard until now to save humanity?]

At this moment, amid the heated discussions of the viewers, on the light screen.

[The scene of the Temple of Time is fully displayed before all the viewers.]

[Looking around, there are only ruins and endless nothingness.]

[In addition, there are those blood-red tentacles exuding an ominous aura, spread throughout the world!]

[And in the sky, an inexplicable light descended, illuminating the entire earth.]

[This is the Crown Time Temple, Solomon! The final Singularity that Chaldea aims to conquer!]

[The Temple of King Solomon!]

[However, the ominous scene before them silently declares: This temple has lost its former holiness.]

[Rather than calling it a temple, it would be more apt to call it the realm of a Beast.]

[Perhaps, describing it as the "Beast's Universe" would be even more appropriate.]

At this moment, looking at the temple filled with an ominous atmosphere.

All the viewers seemed to feel a chill.

[Comments]

[Gawain: This temple looks as if it has been corrupted by a demon, sending shivers down one's spine.]

[Morgan: How similar it is to the lair of an evil dragon. Such a place and its owner deserve to be slain!]

[Waver Velvet: Is the King of Mages' Temple really like this? I feel it's not only very different from what I imagined, but it might not even be called a temple!]

At this moment, in the Temple of Time, the King of Demons, Goetia, stared at everything on the light screen and fell into silence.

Endless doubts surged in his mind. Could this be the future? That Chaldea could actually traverse seven Singularities and come to him...

"It seems I truly underestimated you..." he muttered to himself, "To actually cross these seven eras. The last Master of humanity is no fool."

However, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, "But, to dare come to me alone..."

The King of Demons Goetia shook his head. How brave and reckless!

"Fujimaru Ritsuka, even if you unexpectedly... what can you do now that you've come to the Temple of Time? You can no longer stop me!"

His voice echoed through the temple, "The last and most foolish Master of humanity!"

While everyone was discussing, on the light screen.

[Fujimaru Ritsuka looked up at the endless starry sky and saw a strange scarlet color surging within it.]

[And in the distant sky, a white jade throne stood out.]

["If nothing unexpected happens, that should be the Throne of King Solomon..." Fujimaru Ritsuka whispered.]

[Just then, Da Vinci's voice sounded at the right moment: "Well, we are monitoring it too. There's no doubt that is the Temple of Time..."]

[Da Vinci stared carefully at the data on the screen, frowning, "The current situation here, this magical energy... It indicates that the place we moved to is not wrong; this is the Temple of Time."]

[However, her brows furrowed even tighter, as if she had thought of a possibility...]

[If this news were told, it might directly impact Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash. But if it weren't told, something might happen.]

[After some thought, Da Vinci whispered in an incredulous voice: "This reaction... is the same as the disgusting spiritual signature detected in Mesopotamia. The Beast attribute, called a calamity, which doesn't match the seven standard classes... The reaction of the Beast is filling your space."]

At this moment, as Da Vinci's voice fell in the light screen, all the viewers showed puzzled expressions.

[Comments]

[Waver Velvet: Beast? What is that? I've never heard of it.]

[Merlin: If what Da Vinci says is correct, then with only two people, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, they are simply seeking death!]

[Emiya Shirō: So what is a Beast?]

[Artoria: Even Merlin is so fearful; it must be incredibly terrifying!]

[Merlin: Beast, the Beast of Original Sin, is called the Evils of Humanity. They are great disasters rejected by human history. It is a general term for the seven disasters that endanger humanity. There are a total of seven Evils of Humanity.

The more humanity develops, the stronger they become, just like cancer eating away at the body from within society. In other words, they are the sediment settled in human history. The Evils of Humanity are not evil that destroys humanity based on hostility, but evil that is destroyed by humanity. They are humanity's self-destruction mechanism and safety device, the origin of the summoning of Heroic Spirits.

The so-called Evils of Humanity are human love itself. The desire to destroy humanity is not based on malice toward humankind.

Because malice is only temporary; the more it is used, the thinner it becomes. Therefore, what truly threatens humanity is the desire to protect human reason. The spirit that seeks a better future has bared its fangs at the current peace.

Although the Evils of Humanity are evil, they can never be eradicated. As long as humanity exists, they will occur, and humans must overcome them. The so-called Evils of Humanity are also the evil intentions that humans eliminate, not the evil intentions that destroy humans.]

At this moment, looking at the lengthy introduction Merlin posted in the light screen's comments, all the viewers felt somewhat confused.

After all, it was truly difficult to gauge its specific strength with just a simple, objective text introduction without a control group.

[The Wise King Gilgamesh: In the world of Uruk, a Beast, Tiamat, appeared on the Absolute Demonic Front. At that time, it was defeated by the Grand Servant King Hassan and several Divine-level Heroic Spirits.]

Accompanied by Gilgamesh of Uruk's comment.

At this moment, all the viewers gasped.

For a moment, they were all somewhat short of breath.

They never expected the so-called Beast to be so terrifying!

An entity that could only be defeated by several Divine-level Servants and a Grand Servant... and now Fujimaru Ritsuka, a human, and a Demi-Servant, were supposed to fight it?

This was a completely impossible battle to win!

Instantly, dense comments continuously emerged on the screen.

[Mordred: This can't be fake, right? How can Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash fight such an opponent? What about the others? Are there only two combat forces left in Chaldea now?]

[Grand Duke Tai Gong: Two people facing a Beast? What's the difference between that and suicide?]

[Ishtar: Are you sure you're not mistaken? There's actually a monster similar to Tiamat in this place? Are you kidding? A fully manifested Beast is not something a Servant or a human can fight against!]

At this moment, on the light screen.

[Hearing this shocking news, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!]

[They had just experienced the Uruk Singularity and knew what it meant. Facing such an enemy, they had no chance of winning!]

[Before they could speak, the sound of footsteps echoed in the quiet space, getting closer and closer, accompanied by a frivolous voice: "That's right, Chaldea's sense of smell has become sharper~"]

[The voice sounded like it was making ordinary conversation, but then a figure appeared on the screen, instantly making Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash's eyes widen!]

[It was a man wearing a green coat, eyes narrowed, with a warm smile on his face—Professor Lev!]

[Their very familiar, good partner appeared before them in such an unexpected way.]
