Earth Princess? No, it's Fujimaru Ritsuka!

"King Osman Diaz, what brings you here at this hour?"

"Ha, what a foolish question. Not to mention the top of this great temple, the entire myriad phenomena are in my hands. There is no place I cannot go!"

"Ah... well, okay."

Fujimaru Ritsuka responded twice.

"What kind of attitude is this? I, the God-King, have come in person, and not only did you not greet me, you didn't even show any respect. If it weren't for the fact that you are the grave of the last Master, you would be at the bottom of the Great Temple the next time we meet."

Ramses said, hands on his hips, somewhat annoyed.

Whose young lady is this...?

This is all because Moses spoiled her, making her act like she needs to be pampered all the time.

"Believe it or not, I was actually smashed by the Great Temple once, and I was almost turned into mincemeat."

Fujimaru Ritsuka recalled the scene of her battle with Aika in the Fourth Singularity.

"Strange, I don't recall ever being your enemy. Even my memories of the Holy Grail War are somewhat vague..."

"During the Holy Grail War in Tokyo, Ayaka Sajou devoured six Servants besides Arthur from another world. Guess if you were one of them."

Fujimaru Ritsuka raised an eyebrow and said.

"He dared to fight against three top-tier Servants without any magical supply."

"Demigod, Holy Sword Wielder, and Great Hero... You're really arrogant, Sun King."

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but complain. She glanced at the Sun King to see if he would be angry because of his lapse in composure during the Holy Grail War.

"Ah..."

Ramses II laughed.

"Hahahaha, hahaha, what kind of look is that?"

"It's absolutely laughable."

"I was wondering why you had acted this way so many times. Were you testing me here?"

“Very good. If your companions are too incompetent, they are more troublesome than a powerful enemy.”

The Sun King's deep eyes gazed up at the hero:

"Because I sensed danger during that battle. You should also know that although I am arrogant, I do not underestimate war... but—"

"I am the Demon King! I am the ruler, I am the tyrant! And if it's the same as saving the world, I will do it my way!"

He raised his hand, then suddenly grabbed the air as if he were gripping something tightly, and then held it high, pointing it towards the sky.

"Hey, Fujimaru Ritsuka. What are your thoughts?"

Ramses II truly deserved the title of Sun King, as he made a declaration during the decisive battle at the Tokyo Bay Grand Temple.

That is, if the Holy Sword Wielder continues to favor Ayaka Sajou and does not show up to fight, in order to save the world, he will directly use the main cannon on the temple to cleanse the entire Tokyo.

This is not alarmist.

For a god-king like him, this practice was essentially issuing a judgment.

"Maybe I'm the same..."

As Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke, she patted the Sphinx's head, and the fluffy young monster made a cute sound.

"The Lion King's method was also an act of saving humanity... but I cannot agree with it."

"From a certain perspective, her behavior was right, while my behavior was wrong."

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked up at the large band of light again, then smiled.

"What do you think, Sun King?"

"Oh, so you think you're wrong? But it's true, from a purely worldly perspective, it's safer to choose the worst-case scenario than to gamble on a tiny chance."

The Sun King had no complaints or disagreements with the Lion King's actions; he saw them as a way to save the world.

From the perspective of the gods, the beauty of humanity will be preserved forever. Even if human reason perishes, the entity of "humanity" will not disappear.

"To bring the dead back from the underworld is no ordinary miracle. To reclaim the lost principles of humanity is even more impossible—"

"But I also want to witness it..."

The Sun King curled his lips into a smile, his bright eyes gleaming with a divine light.

"What exactly are you capable of doing?"

An incredible girl.

She seemed to be the embodiment of all humanity, heroes, and destiny throughout history.

In addition, there's the Star Spirit's versatility.

Fujimaru Ritsuka has become a completely new and peculiar existence.

This unique Fujimaru Ritsuka is perhaps the very embodiment of the planet's survival and the continuation of human reason.

"Who knows? In any case, I will continue to walk the path I believe in."

"So-called True Ancestors... are beings who can do whatever they want, right?"

really.

This girl is more suited to save the world than I am, or rather, she is the one who should save the world.

Unlike that venerable sage who follows his own destiny, Fujimaru Ritsuka is actually the type who will never be bound by the "right way".

Sometimes, it's not about ultimate victory, but about not being able to stand by and watch... simply for the most basic, innocent yet complex sense of morality that arises in the human heart.

Even if I make mistakes, I still want to do something and leave my mark on the world.

"Hmph, should I call it arrogance... no, or rather, excessive stupidity. No matter how powerful one is, there will always be a day when one cannot survive until tomorrow."

Ramses II curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"Charge forward relentlessly, child of stars and men. What future awaits you—one filled with hope... or one filled with despair?"

“I am very much looking forward to it. However, as a reward for pleasing me by exchanging ideas with me, I will tell you the location of the Atlas Institute.”

Just say what you want to say.

No need to beat around the bush.

This Ottoman Diaz King, well, his personality is really strange.

"Does the Pharaoh know the address of the Atlas Chamber?"

"Of course, I possess the knowledge of all things, and am omnipotent and omniscient. Therefore, I naturally know the location of the Atlas Institute. Since that old man asked you to go to the Atlas Institute, there must be a deeper reason behind it."

Ramses II never lied about this. He considered himself great, and there weren't many people who could make him lower himself, but the old man, being a top assassin, was definitely one of them.

"In the northwestern border of the remaining Egyptian territory, near the domain of the Sea Peoples, hidden in a ruin, buried deep underground, lies the cellar where the alchemists dwell."

"We still have to climb the mountain?"

"Of course not. I will have Nitocris take you there. Originally, I intended to take the calculator for myself, but an interesting sage seems to need that calculator. So, I... generously allowed that fellow to conduct research in Egyptian territory."

Fujimaru Ritsuka: "The Sage?"

Rahula II nodded slightly:

"Oh, by the way, that guy was probably a very famous detective in your time, his name was Sherlock Holmes."

"Sherlock Holmes?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka exclaimed in surprise.

"That guy is indeed very famous. Even in my Egypt, I would like to recruit such a talent."

La Er nodded.

"That's not it, it's just... Inspector Lestrade was killed, and that guy actually ignored it and came to Egypt to investigate, right—"

In London at that time, Matthew wondered if she might encounter the famous Sherlock Holmes.

So, this guy didn't even make an appearance in London, and instead came to Egypt to slack off, huh?

La Er's eyes darted around.

"London, that seems to be a singularity you've explored before, right? What, something went wrong? I'm allowing you to come out to appease me."

"I don't think you'll find this enjoyable."

Fujimaru Ritsuka rolled her eyes at the Sun King next to her, then sighed.

"Oh?"

"Because the enemy we encountered in the Fourth Singularity was none other than [Sajō Aika], whom you encountered in a certain Holy Grail War."

The Sun King fell silent.

Suddenly, he lost interest.

He has always been a magnanimous king, though he has a tyrannical side, he also has a heroic side.

Even such a king.

They still don't like the existence of [Sajō Aika].

After a period of time.

Ding, ding, ding.

The winding corridors evoke a cold and eerie sense of dread. The echoes of footsteps are crystal clear here, and even the slightest sound wave can create a tremor in this five-sound space.

Atlas Academy.

Perhaps due to long periods of neglect caused by no one living there, this space appeared dark and eerie.

"The layout here is really complicated; it's more like a maze than an academy."

After leaving the Great Temple, the group followed Miss Nitocris to Atlas, and then entered the Atlas Court through a strange secret passage.

9玲溜思流崎1疤貳紦j哒！

A crisp sound suddenly sounded.

"Uhhhhh!"

Nitocris, who was walking in front, suddenly screamed, and her ears perked up.

"What's wrong, Miss Nitocris?"

Mashu quickly stepped forward and asked.

"I'm dizzy... I can't find my way."

With her rabbit ears drooping, Nitocris said somewhat dejectedly:

"Although the Pharaoh told me the general direction, I still feel like this place is so chaotic."

"There's no map, no directions, and even the light is very dim... This must be a maze."

Fujimaru Ritsuka stroked the wall.

Even magic couldn't spread across the walls; the jumbled incantations were a disaster for someone like Fujimaru Ritsuka, who wasn't well-versed in specific magical concepts.

"Moreover, the buildings here are even made of special materials, so even I can't find my way around—"

However, one day Fujimaru Ritsuka confirmed it.

That means Atlas knows about the True Ancestor's life form and may even have countermeasures.

"It truly lives up to its reputation as a mysterious place that was established in front of the park."

Well, Fujimaru Ritsuka just can't understand much of it anyway.

However, it feels quite incongruous that such advanced technology existed during the Age of Gods.

“That’s right, hahaha... Atlas Institute must have conducted at least theoretical research on the life form of True Ancestor.”

Suddenly, a man's voice came from the dark road ahead.

"Senior...could it be...?"

Mashu looked somewhat agitated.

"Ah."
