Arknights' Lock of Heaven

“Believe me,” he said, leaning on his staff, his body covered in blood, forcing a smile, “this is a necessary condition for victory!”

Tiamat must be defeated, that is beyond question.

The existence of this singularity is based on the existence of Beast II, which is Tiamat.

It is one of the seven evils of humanity, a beast that possesses the principle of "return". It has returned to this side of the world after the collapse of the foundation of human reason. Without a doubt, it is the one that supports the singularity.

Without defeating it, this singularity cannot be conquered.

“I hope you run fast enough,” Xia Yu said, a wicked smile spreading across her face as she looked at the magician covered in blood. “From Britain to Babylon is quite a distance.”

"What's wrong with him?" Ishtar asked, approaching Merlin, who had turned into specks of light.

"Is that even a question? Of course, the main character woke up and then casually crushed the bug that had been causing trouble in the dream."

Xia Yu took a deep breath. "Alright, it's time for me to face my destiny."

"Farewell, Fujimaru Ritsuka."

I hope we'll meet again someday.

It then ignored her calls and flew straight into the sky.

"You're going to take a risk?" Kal'tsit held a cup of hot tea, gently blowing on it. The steaming vapor floated in front of her eyes, obscuring her expression.

“Yes, this was the biggest adventure of my life,” Xia Yu sighed. “Fortunately, I won the gamble.”

Conventional methods cannot save us from the fate of disappearing along with the singularity.

Even spiritual transfer must adhere to fundamental principles; one cannot simply appear out of thin air in Chaldea.

His only way to survive was Valhalla, which connects the entire pan-human history to the outside of the world.

If an anti-hero like Jeanne Alter can enter... then why can't I?

If you don't want to perish along with the singularity, this is the only way.

There are many things beyond my reach, and this is my only hope.

But the problem is, we have to guarantee one thing.

The Seventh Singularity: A Complete Guide to the Absolute Demonic Front.

Therefore, everything must proceed according to the original script.

Well, not everything is the same.

But at least, the general plan cannot be changed.

After all, Tiamat in Beast II is so terrifying, and Genesis is even more of a supermodel, but if everything goes according to plan, it might not be impossible to achieve a good ending.

-

"The bet won."

Xia Yu didn't care at all about the white robe stained with blood.

Just a few minutes ago, I had a large hole in my chest.

Without a doubt, Rahm betrayed himself.

That backstab really hurt. If the Absolute Monster Front really fails to be repaired, we'll have to live with these things on this small piece of land...

Xia Yu would rather die.

But he won his gamble.

In his hand is the Great Cup of Uruk, the true Cauldron of Miracles, the original Holy Grail from the Royal Treasury.

Rather than the Singularity Grail created by Goetia, which in most cases can only be used as a reserve of magical energy.

Looking at the overwhelming number of Rahms, Xia Yu quietly made a wish upon the Holy Grail.

I hope I can leave this terrible world as I wish.

Then, he sat quietly on the city wall, preparing to face his fate.

Of course, it's better than nothing.

He smiled faintly as he watched the pterosaur carrying the Chaldea group depart from the palace.

Good luck, Fujimaru Ritsuka!

“I have a question,” Kal'tsit said thoughtfully, “The Tiamat you mentioned… is it a behemoth?”

She is still thinking in the way this world does.

“A behemoth, a behemoth,” Xia Yu shook her head with a sigh, “If we’re talking about size, then I guess so.”

"But in terms of strength, the difference is like night and day."

Xia Yu said quietly, "I have never fought against a real behemoth, only the black snake's clone and the four people in Siesta."

"But they... are far inferior to Tiamat."

“The most basic point,” Xia Yu straightened up and said seriously, “You may unconsciously bring the myth of Terra into my past, but there is one thing you must understand.”

“I’m not telling a myth, but something real, something I’ve experienced firsthand.”

"The creator god of Mesopotamia, the abandoned mother, whose body alone can change from 160cm to 7400 million km."

"The weight of her enormous body was so great that her slender legs couldn't even support it, so her long, curved horns allowed her to fly against gravity."

"And the black tide surrounding them can continuously give birth to life. Every Rahm is a life form that is absolutely superior to ordinary people."

“And such life can hatch thousands upon thousands in just a few hours.”

What comes to mind from my description?

Upon hearing this, Kal'tsit took a deep breath.

"Anti-gravity technology that enables such a massive body to fly..."

"The ability to be self-sufficient and survive in harsh environments like those on the outer reaches of the world..."

"Capable of creating life... freely editing its form... even reshaping the entire planet's ecosystem..."

Kal'tsit's eyes finally betrayed her surprise. "Where did this alien super-colonial spaceship come from?"

Are you sure you're not lying to me?

340

“That’s right, it’s that exaggerated,” Xia Yu sighed. “From Chaos in Greece to Tiamat in Babylon, they’re all more exaggerated than the last.”

"Especially Greece, with its genuine Mecha Gods, oh, Mecha Gods can be simply understood as spaceships, it really is an entire interstellar colony fleet."

"The feathered serpent god of South America is not to be outdone either; this world is just that chaotic."

"From an unsafe world, even the glorious age of gods ended with a wandering star. Ha, what should I say to you? Am I lucky I escaped?"

Xia Yu smiled bitterly, "Even I don't know why I 'escaped'..."

“I think I understand,” Kal'tsit said, taking a deep breath.

"No wonder you seem so out of place in this world... I thought you were a remnant of ancient times... Is the truth really this shocking?"

“Another world,” she murmured, slightly lost in thought, “a world without Oripathy…”

“Yes, there’s no Oripathy,” Xia Yu said slowly upon hearing this, “but there’s something even more deadly.”

He pointed to his own nose and said, "Do you know how I got to Terra?"

Before Kal'tsit could answer, the answer was revealed.

"How should I describe it? Died from exhaustion?"

"In short, I exhausted everything to trap Gorgon, from my body to the Holy Grail, not a drop of magic was left."

"All we gained in return was enough time."

“Is that so…” Kal’tsit said absentmindedly, “Then it seems to be a truly terrifying world.”

"You think this is the most desperate thing?" Xia Yu shook her head. "Do you know why Fujimaru Ritsuka is the savior?"

"Because she really is saving the world!"

"The Demon King Goetia, leading the seventy-two Demon Gods, burned human history to ashes along the timeline. The entire world was turned into a sea of ​​fire, and billions of humans, including thousands of years of history, were burned to ashes, becoming fuel for Goetia to achieve his goal."

Upon hearing this, a look of confusion appeared on Kal'tsit's face.

This is undoubtedly a remarkable sight, because it's hard to see any sense of bewilderment on the face of a woman who is at least ten thousand years old.

She knows too much about this world, so she always acts like she knows everything.

However, what Xia Yu was saying was undoubtedly beyond her comprehension.

“To burn the entire history along the timeline to obtain fuel…” Her brows furrowed. “This… is truly unbelievable.”

Including what Xia Yu said before, all he gained by exchanging everything he had was to slow down Tiamat and buy her time...

Even a powerful figure like Xia Yu, who can hold down the heads of many monarchs in Terra, can only stall for time?
