[TL: Happy Halloween! and Here is a Extra Chapter]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this moment, within the light screen:
[After hearing Solomon's words, Goetia finally reacted.]
[A trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes. He had guessed the intention of the man before him.]
[For a moment, an uncontrollable chill ran through his body, and a look of fear and madness appeared in his eyes.]
[Goetia stared incredulously at the man before him, his eyes filled with boundless fear and madness! "No! You can't do this! You must not!!!"]
At this moment, all the audiences were in an uproar.
"Teach the Demon King Goetia the final magecraft?"
"It can actually make that human evil, Goetia, show such a panicked expression?!"
"Is it some powerful Noble Phantasm?"
For a moment, a continuous stream of discussions emerged on the light screen.
[Bullet Comments]
[Kadoc Zemlupus: The fact that Goetia looked so panicked... means that Noble Phantasm can truly threaten the immortal Demon King. I've suddenly become curious about what that mysterious magecraft treasure is.]
[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: It's something to be happy about, but why do I hear the sound of sorrow and attachment?]
[Emiya Shirō: Could it be that this Noble Phantasm will have adverse effects on Solomon? Is it a powerful Noble Phantasm that comes with a cost?]
[Lord El-Melloi II: Not only is the Noble Phantasm a threat to Goetia, but it can also threaten King Solomon himself. It seems this is it.]
[Zhuge Liang (Lord El-Melloi II): The legend of returning the rings to heaven... that is, relinquishing one's own abilities. It's indeed a good idea. Because Goetia's abilities all originate from King Solomon, if King Solomon loses his abilities, then Goetia will naturally lose them as well!]
[Waver Velvet: That could actually work, I think. After all, Solomon has completely transformed into a human, and his own abilities were actually returned long ago, so is he unilaterally depriving Goetia of his abilities?]
[Mash Kyrielight: Great, as expected of the Doctor!]
[Fujimaru Ritsuka: We can finally defeat that guy! In the end, it still comes down to Doctor Roman!]
In the world of Chaldea, Romani Archiman secretly admitted to himself that what they said was indeed correct... This Noble Phantasm is indeed such a treasure, but the price is also very obvious... When everyone learns the price of this Noble Phantasm, they will surely be sad...
Especially the people of Chaldea.
However, when he saw the excitement on the faces of the staff around him, Romani Archiman thought it over and decided not to reveal the price of this Noble Phantasm... He just quietly watched the cheers around him.
At this moment, the scene on the light screen continued to unfold.
["Although you know that King Solomon possesses another Noble Phantasm, you do not know its true name—No, you cannot possibly know its true name at all." Solomon's voice continued to echo.]
[With these words, Solomon slowly raised his hands.]
["The nine rings you hold, and the final ring I hold. Now, all rings are gathered here, allowing me to recreate that moment."]
[Ommmm——]
[The moment these words fell, the ten rings immediately burst into dazzling light.]
[A brilliant golden flash erupted at that instant, illuminating the entire world!]
["King Solomon's true first Noble Phantasm is the reappearance of the heroic spirit of humanity that I have been pursuing!!!"]
["Stop! Stop!! Stop!!! Stop now!!!!" Goetia's extremely angry voice echoed as such.]
[Goetia's furious voice reverberated through the space, and at the same time, the terrifying aura on his body erupted completely.]
[Destructive fist shadows swung, magical energy surged like a tide.]
[At this moment, Goetia no longer cared about anything; there was only one thought in his mind—stop him! Stop Solomon from activating the Noble Phantasm!]
["No, you can't do this, you coward, how could you make such a choice!" Goetia roared.]
[However, at this moment, it was too late for him to stop it. His violent fists could not break through Solomon's barrier at all!]
["This ring, this seat of omnipotence, does not belong to you alone!"]
[Goetia roared. Things had come to this point; he was only one step away from success! Unwilling! Enraged! All sorts of emotions surged in his heart.]
["Impossible, how dare you, you coward!" Goetia's voice had become hysterical, but it was all futile rage.]
[Solomon's face remained calm, a dazzling golden light emanating from his body. With a nostalgic smile, he activated his Noble Phantasm.]
["The Third Noble Phantasm—[Ars Paulina: The Time of Birth Has Come, He Shall The Foundation Stone]"] (Note: The actual NP name in Fate is Ars Paulina, but the text here uses a descriptive phrase. I'll adapt it to fit the known NP structure while keeping the meaning.)
["The Second Noble Phantasm—[The Time of Crowning Has Come, He Shall Inspire All]."]
[Solomon paused, as if reluctant to leave. He turned his head to look at the heroes in the Temple of Time, finally fixing his gaze on Fujimaru Ritsuka.]
[No one knew what he was thinking. The reluctance in his eyes vanished, leaving only determination.]
["O God, I shall return the grace you have bestowed upon me."]
[Solomon's voice was solemn and sacred.]
["It is too distant for humanity. My work is limited to the realm of humans."]
["The First Noble Phantasm, Reenactment——[Ars Nova: The Time of Parting Has Come, He Is The One Who Lets Go of The World]."]
["Ars Nova"]
[As King Solomon's voice fell, the ten rings suddenly shone with a dazzling light, bright as stars.]
[The next second, they suddenly soared into the air, countless meteors flashing past, breaking the silent night sky.]
[The golden rings floated above King Solomon's head, like a sacred crown.]
[The next moment, they transformed into an extremely sacred long arrow, possessing irresistible power!]
[Whoosh——!!!]
[Accompanied by a piercing sound, the arrow struck Goetia without any suspense.]
[Goetia's body was nailed to the Jeweled Throne, unable to move.]
[It was a well-known fact that King Solomon possessed the rings of omnipotence.]
[But in truth, he never once used the power of these rings.]
[Even at the very end, he relied on his own will to return this omnipotent power to the true God, as if declaring that from now on, humanity would no longer entrust its fate to an omnipotent deity, but would rely on itself to live on!]
World of the Fourth Holy Grail War
Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the scene in the light screen, and for some reason, felt his eyes grow moist.
As a Mage Killer, he sometimes envied those talented magi who could effortlessly master powerful abilities.
Sometimes he wondered, if his own power were strong enough, would he not need the Holy Grail's help to realize his long-cherished wish?
He always felt that what he lacked most was power.
That's why he came to participate in the Holy Grail War, praying to use the Holy Grail's power to achieve his wish.
For Emiya Kiritsugu, no matter what kind of power it was, as long as it could be used, it was a tool!
But at this moment, in the light screen.
King Solomon, who clearly possessed the rings of omnipotence, had never used them once, which puzzled him.
When he saw King Solomon actually return these powers to God, he thought it was irrational behavior.
However, when King Solomon expressed the view that humanity would no longer leave its fate to an omnipotent God, but would rely on itself to survive,
Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to understand.
Although he had no relevant knowledge and had never seen similar scenes, he inexplicably knew that King Solomon would likely perish together with his enemy.
It wasn't as simple as a Heroic Spirit exiting the stage.
It was to completely erase his own pure existence; even his record would no longer remain on the Throne of Heroes.
Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to be deeply moved, causing him to shed tears uncontrollably.
"Dedication, huh..."
At this moment, in the light screen:
["Oh… Oh, ... Hope and confusion."]
["Why do you make such a choice? Why do you do such a thing?"]
["Why, why--! Would you make such a decision?"] (To read the most exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
[He didn't understand why King Solomon made such a decision. King Solomon, who seemed weary of the world and compromised with everything, would choose to stop him. This was incomprehensible and unacceptable to him.]
["You are the embodiment of all the weariness and compromise in the world!"]
["Oh, oh- ..."]
[King Solomon no longer exists, neither on the Throne of Heroes nor in the human world.]
[At this moment, he, transformed into Romani Archiman, looked at the furious Goetia before him, his heart filled with emotion.]
["Ah, it's incredible. We share the same perspective, sat upon the same throne, and experienced the same time, yet King Solomon reached a conclusion completely opposite to yours..."]
["If there is any difference between us, yes, it is solely because I lack the freedom to be angry. This is perhaps the fundamental reason for the divergence."]
[As Romani Archiman's voice fell, a look of understanding finally flashed across Goetia's face.]
[He seemed to comprehend something, and a smile of realization appeared on his face.]
[At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had been disturbed by the sudden change before him, finally regained his senses.]
[He looked at Romani Archiman, who had become an ordinary person, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.]
["What did you do?!" Fujimaru Ritsuka asked anxiously.]
[Romani Archiman smiled and said frankly, "Well, just now, I abandoned everything I had."]
["If this realm is the remains of King Solomon, it has now collapsed."]
["King Solomon once returned the rings of omnipotence to the heavens. I am recreating that legend in an unalterable form."]
[As these words were spoken, Romani Archiman's body continuously shone with a golden light.]
[The golden light turned into stardust, floating in the air, as if seeing off the former king.]
[Looking at this scene, both Fou and Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to have realized something.]
[Their faces were filled with worry and reluctance.]
["But..." Fujimaru Ritsuka's voice trembled slightly. He seemed to want to say something but didn't know how to begin.]
[Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression, a gentle smile also appeared on Romani Archiman's face.]
[He whispered, "Because I am abandoning everything I possess, this body and life will, of course, vanish. This is what is called a self-destruct attack."]
At this moment, all the audiences naturally understood the true meaning of King Solomon.
This is King Solomon's Noble Phantasm! A powerful Noble Phantasm capable of destroying the Temple of Time and even stripping the wisher of his immortality!
And the price is also very obvious... After all, this is a self-destructing Noble Phantasm...
For a moment, the Heroic Spirits and Magi of all worlds couldn't help but discuss it.
In the world of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Waver Velvet looked at everything happening on the screen, a trace of sadness on his face. He murmured to himself, "A self-destructing Noble Phantasm..."
"But he's a Heroic Spirit after all. If there's a relic later, he can be summoned again, right?"
On the other side, Iskandar, the King of Conquerors, fell silent.
As a Heroic Spirit, he could see more deeply than a Magus.
He understood clearly that the Noble Phantasm just now was not as simple as a self-destructing one.
While a self-destructing Noble Phantasm would also cause a Heroic Spirit to disappear, such a Heroic Spirit could still be summoned from the Throne of Heroes.
But the man in the light screen chose to self-destruct not only his life and Spiritual Core, but everything about King Solomon!
For a moment, a look of indescribable admiration and regret flashed in Iskandar's eyes.
And at this moment, a steady stream of bullet comments continuously appeared on the current light screen.
[Bullet Comments]
[Olga Marie: A self-destructing Noble Phantasm... Although the price is a bit high, the possibility of defeating that Goetia is no longer zero. After defeating such a guy, Chaldea should be able to summon King Solomon again!]
[Waver Velvet: Even though it was a self-destruct attack, he's still a Heroic Spirit. It shouldn't be too hard to summon him again, right?]
[Fujimaru Ritsuka: Dr. Roman has been with us for so long. We will definitely do our best to summon him again!]
