I really didn't want to burn it.

"Da Vinci-san..."

Ritsuka stared blankly at Leonardo da Vinci.

"Ritsuka, we may be facing our strongest enemy yet. Please don't waver in your will to survive!!"

Leonardo da Vinci gave Li Xiang a thumbs up.

"Honestly, they all love to talk to themselves like this..."

Ritsuka, amused by Da Vinci's expression, shook her head helplessly.

"At first, I just wanted to survive, but now, I want to survive with everyone! So, I will never lose!"

Currently, everyone in the Temple of Time has their own thoughts. Justice and redemption are all nonsense. Everyone is fighting for their own desires.

In that case, she, Fujimaru Ritsuka, the Master of Chaldea, is no exception, acting out of her own desires.

"Kirshtalia!!"

Ritsuka showed Kirshtalia the bright red Command Seal on the back of her hand and shouted, "Let's have a battle between Masters!"

"Senior, let's move!!"

Seeing that Ritsuka had the will to fight, Mash quickly responded to her Master.

"Mash, stop Kirshtaria!"

Ritsuka finally revealed a resigned smile. A ripple flashed across her hand as she used the power of her Mystic Code to cast a strengthening spell on Mash.

"Yes, Master!"

Mash raised her shield and flew directly towards Kilshtalia.

"Go, Mashu!"

Standing on the steps, Ritsuka let out a battle cry befitting her Master.

Bah!

Mash's shield collided with Kilshtalia's barrier.

“Foolish! I’m saving humanity,” Kirshtalia said coldly. “Ritsuka, if you want to live, why resist me? I can grant you immortality!”

"I'm sorry, Kirshtalia. I want to live, but to live as a human being!!"

In their previous conversation, Li Ang had clearly analyzed Kirshtalia's plans. Such a world where everyone could live forever was definitely not the legendary utopia!

Having experienced many singularities, Ritsuka agrees with Leon's idea that the world of equality described by Kirshtalia is just a pipe dream.

"You can't stop it."

Kirshtalia had lost all interest in arguing.

His own magical ritual was complete, King Solomon, who destroyed human order, was dead, Koyanskaya intended for him to complete the mission, and another threatening figure, Leon, was already entangled.

Given Chaldea's current fighting strength, Kirshtalia is not worth paying attention to.

Kirshtalia raised the gold in his hand, the tip of which shone with a white light.

As if sensing a summons, a speck of stardust in the sky was pulled down from afar by Kirshtalia.

"Damn, they actually caught a meteorite and threw it down!"

Li Ang complained loudly, saying that he wanted to stop the meteorite, but DD didn't give him a chance at all.

Perhaps because of their close relationship, the little maid knew Li Ang's fighting style perfectly, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

Correspondingly, Li Ang was afraid of hurting DD, so he fought very cautiously and could not exert half of his usual strength.

As the meteorite drew ever closer, Li Ang grew increasingly anxious.

Just as Li Ang couldn't help but use a ruthless attack on DD to create an opportunity for himself to shatter the meteorite—

"senior!"

Mashu remained calm and spoke suddenly in a composed tone.

"I can do it!!"

Mashu nodded vigorously at Ritsuka.

"I understand, I believe you."

Ritsuka hesitated for a moment, then revealed a confident smile.

"Kirshtalia, you've miscalculated. You've underestimated us."

Ritsuka raised her right hand, and the Command Seals on the back of her hand shone with red light.

"In the name of the Command Seals, Mash stopped the meteor!"

"How stupid."

Kirshtalia scoffed dismissively.

"The power gap between us cannot be bridged by a single Command Seal."

"This is not a matter of strength, it is our bond and our will!"

Ritsuka looked up at the sky, her eyes reflecting the image of Mash soaring into the sky with wings of light.

"Lord Camelot! (The ideal city, now far away!)"

As Mashu chanted her true name, the walls of Camelot once again appeared in the air.

“Mash, you are the glorious and steadfast snowflake wall of Camelot. Leon said that as long as your belief is strong enough, you are the invincible chalk wall!”

As if in response to Ritsuka's call, the Camelot walls beside Mash in the sky and the wings of light behind her gradually merged together, and the huge wings emitted a bright light.

"Mash, stop all of this!"

"Fujimaru Ritsuka, you're so naive! This meteorite isn't an ordinary meteorite; it's a record of human history!!"

Kirshtalia tries to dispel Ritsuka's unrealistic fantasies.

"That's precisely why Mashu won't lose. That meteorite is just humanity's past; Mashu represents humanity's future!"

Li Ang's gentle voice rang out beside Ritsuka—he had finally managed to temporarily appease his maid.

Mashu transformed into a beam of light and pierced the meteorite.

"It's just a rock, watch me push it back!"

With the buffs from Leon and Ritsuka, Mashu unleashed her full fighting power and managed to pierce through the meteorite with a single blow.

boom!

In the sky above the Temple of Time, the meteorite that possessed the power to destroy the throne began to collapse at an extremely rapid pace.

"How is that possible? How could Mashu have such power?"

Kirshtalia stared in disbelief at the shattered sky, realizing that things were spiraling out of his control.

"Hmph, no matter how talented you are, you're still just a human being. Your limited knowledge restricts your imagination."

The new voice was both so familiar and so surprising.

Because the owner of that voice should already be dead; just now, right before everyone's eyes, someone stabbed him through the body.

"Place……"

Kirshtalia could only utter one syllable before it was stuck in his throat, because his body was split in two by a claw-like hand.

A monster with large, tree-branch-like horns on its head stood behind Kirshtalia, its entire body emanating an unsettling black aura, as if a demon god had descended.

"Idiot, how could I be killed so easily?"

The monster let out a disdainful sound.

PS: I finally made it, I'm exhausted.

I went out during the day and came back too late.

I'll deal with typos and such tomorrow. _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 353 Getia: Farewell, Humanity

"Stupid humans."

Goetia kicked Kirshtalia aside. Although his monstrous face couldn't make any expression, Ritsuka and the others could still clearly hear the disdain in his tone.

"What are you? You can't possibly be King Solomon!"

Ritsuka's slightly hoarse voice uttered a sound of shock.

For Ritsuka, surviving a stab wound was nothing unusual; her dog, Cú Chulainn, could live for quite a while even with his heart pierced.

It's not impossible that King Solomon, whose prestige far surpasses that of Cú Chulainn, possessed one or two life-saving skills.

What Ritsuka found unacceptable was King Solomon's godlike demeanor at that moment.

She had done her research on history, and King Solomon was undoubtedly human; even if he had become a heroic spirit, he couldn't possibly have turned into such a bizarre monster.

Without a doubt, King Solomon, who reappeared in monstrous form, was no normal being; he was the true culprit who destroyed humanity.

Compared to the surprised Ritsuka, Leon's expression was much calmer. Goetia, after being self-destructed by the doctor, was still causing trouble in the Lostbelt under the guise of Romani.

Rather, the most bizarre thing is that Koyanskaya was able to kill Goetia with a single sword strike.

"Since it's a monster, some things can be explained."

Mash, who had landed back on the ground, stood in front of Ritsuka and whispered to Goetia, who looked like a deer antler deity.

"In the first place, not many people were willing to believe that the historically upright King Solomon would want to destroy humanity. Now it seems that someone is using Solomon's name in his name."

Who are you?! Why are you destroying humanity?!

Mashu shouted.

"Tell me a story about us."

Goetia opened his arms and began to explain his origins in a chaotic voice.

"We were once demons created by King Solomon, a magical system created by King Solomon to 'more effectively advance the correct path.' Therefore, the original seventy-two demons were the ancestors of human magic, and all magic used by humankind originated from us. Unfortunately, after Solomon's death, we were sealed inside his corpse."

With each word he spoke, Goetia took a step forward. As Goetia walked forward, a brand new staircase appeared beneath his feet, guiding him step by step toward the sky.

"As time went by, the seventy-two demon gods developed independent thoughts."

Leon interrupted Goetia, speaking in a very rude and derogatory tone.

"So these demons began to claim that they were Solomon. No, from their perspective, they really believed they were the Magic King Solomon."

"Hmph, that's not the point."

Goetia let out a cold snort. He wanted to deny Li Ang's words, but couldn't find the right words, so he could only continue speaking.

"Having developed self-awareness, we began to advance the cause of energizing all of humanity. Because humanity is an incurable race, 'the imperfect them' have all sorts of flaws! King Solomon guided them toward civilization, yet they were accompanied by violence, war, and fratricide!"

"King Solomon lamented and was angry with mankind, and his will has been carried on by us!"

"Its name is the Human Incineration Style Goetia! It is a magic with a will, woven to reach true wisdom, and intended to utilize all of human history to reach the origin!!"

Goetia raised her hands and sang loudly with a pilgrim's heart.

"Humanity-Incinerating Goetia... Is this your true form?!"

Da Vinci gripped her staff tightly and fired countless magic bullets at Goetia high above, but not a single one produced the desired effect.

"That's right. Although we were created by humans to assist their existence, humans have no value anymore! Therefore, we have redefined our purpose of helping humans."

Goetia did not turn back, and continued walking towards the sky with a leisurely and slow pace.

"We are prepared to reach the extremes that even Solomon could not reach, to embark on the great undertaking of becoming gods, and to prove that we are the highest-level beings on this planet!"

"how come……"

Ritsuka covered her mouth, unsure how to describe Getia; his madness was beyond her imagination.

"You make it sound so nice, Goetia, but your destruction of humanity is purely for your own selfish desires. It's also because you, as a demon god, are clearly a higher-dimensional being, yet you depend on weak humans. Because you cannot exist without being enslaved by humans!"

Li Ang continued to undermine the situation with a very displeased tone, knowing everything about this antler-wearing immortal, he did not hesitate to tear down the other party's hypocritical banner.
