"Pfft!"
As the pure and powerful magical energy bursts around Scáthach, she immediately spews out a mouthful of blood, propelled like a cannonball, flying backward, crashing into the distant battlefield, raising a cloud of dust.
"Miss Scáthach...!"
Seeing this, Mash widens her eyes, unable to believe what she's witnessing.
The Queen of the Foreign land, the god-slaying spear woman who could take on fourteen true dragon species alone, always seemed invincible and reliable. Now, she's sent flying by an attack she couldn't even react to?
It's like a nightmare unfolding.
Even Rozen's pupils contract, feeling a rush of shock.
Using the ability of "Mind's Eye," Rozen does perceive the nature of that attack.
Undoubtedly, it's the magic used by Solomon.
However, it's not some profound magic; it simply condenses magical energy into a magic bullet and shoots it.
Yet, it seems to bypass the limitations of time and space, directly hitting Scáthach and severely injuring her.
That's simply impossible.
Even with Solomon's powerful magic, Scáthach possesses the highest-level "Magic Resistance" skill. In theory, a magic bullet level of magic should barely tickle her; how could it cause severe injury?
But Solomon achieved it.
As the Mage King, he directly broke through the "Magic Resistance" skill with his pure and powerful magical energy, making magic effective against Scáthach.
"So weak! So weak!"
Solomon sneers.
"At this level, you don't even qualify for me to use my Noble Phantasm!"
Hearing this, Mash clenches her teeth, raising her shield, preparing to confront Solomon.
On the contrary, Rozen calmly speaks.
"The Noble Phantasm you're referring to is the big halo in the sky, right?"
Rozen's words leave Mash momentarily stunned.
"Oh? You noticed?"
Solomon remains calm, openly admitting.
"Yes, that is my third Noble Phantasm. It gathers billions of rays of light, and each of those rays possesses power comparable to holy swords. When combined, it has the potential to incinerate all of human history. It's not a Noble Phantasm against unit, not against armies, not against fortress, countries, or even realms – it's a Noble Phantasm against the very foundations of humanity."
The power formed by billions of holy swords.
What kind of concept is that?
Keep in mind that a holy sword is an A++-rank Noble Phantasm designed for cities. To have a power that surpasses billions of holy swords – if that can't be called a Noble Phantasm against the foundations of humanity, what can?
"Its name is— 'The Time of Birth Has Come, He Is the One Who Masters All (Ars Almadel Salomonis).'"
Solomon then turns his back to the halo in the sky, revealing a confident smile to Rozen.
"I used it a little before, when you arrived in this Singularity. You should know, right?"
Know? Of course, Rozen knows.
Karna mentioned it; a beam of light descended from that halo, destroying the native nation entirely.
Before Rozen arrived in this Singularity, Solomon used this Noble Phantasm once, obliterating the entire native nation, annihilating all the Servants on the native side, leaving only Karna, who barely survived with his Noble Phantasm that weakened damage to one-tenth and possessed self-healing abilities.
"I don't know why you resonate with my Noble Phantasms or why you can sense the Demon God Pillars I control. When the Demon God Pillars became wary of you, you pierced through the second, third, and fourth Singularities in one go, and seeing this, I couldn't help but have a little fun."
Solomon changes his posture, no longer displaying the mature and steady demeanor from the conversation with Scáthach. Instead, he speaks with a playful tone.
"Originally, this Singularity, which has lost its purpose, isn't worth the use of my Noble Phantasm."
Presumably, that's the truth, right?
Judging by Solomon's attitude, he doesn't seem to care about Rozen's actions so far. The task of incinerating human history is complete, and Solomon has no interest in paying further attention to these Singularities. Even if Rozen repairs them, it's not worth mentioning.
The only reason Solomon slightly used his Noble Phantasm in this Singularity is that he learned about Rozen's presence and decided to take a whimsical shot.
Otherwise, if he truly wanted to prevent Rozen from fixing the Singularity, Solomon wouldn't have waited until now to act.
"Even though you killed so many Servants and humans, you claim it was just a whim...!"
Mash is clearly disturbed by Solomon's words.
It's impossible not to be affected.
Who would embark on a massacre on a whim and destroy an entire country?
Only the Mage King who burned the entire human history without batting an eye could do such a thing.
"Look at how fragile humans are."
Once hailed as a wise king, Solomon now displays contempt, disdain, and even extreme disgust towards the human race.
"Is that the reason you burn human history?"
Rozen speaks in a low voice.
However, Solomon seems to have no intention of continuing the conversation. He speaks as if he's too lazy to say more.
"Originally, in the face of my great work, all of human history should have been destroyed. Forget about saving it; it should have disappeared without even realizing it. That is humanity's ultimate fate."
Saying this, Solomon glances at Rozen and Mash.
"However, Chaldea has become something independent of the timeline, struggling in an ugly way, fighting desperately, rescuing in a pathetic manner, wandering in an unsightly manner. It's quite unpleasant to witness."
Solomon's voice turns icy.
"If Chaldea hadn't become independent of the timeline, I would have 'seen' its location long ago and completely annihilated it."
With Solomon's power, achieving this would be a piece of cake.
Unfortunately, Chaldea has become a special place, and even Solomon can't locate its position.
"If you, who can resonate and sense my Noble Phantasms inexplicably, are Chaldea's hidden card, then let me erase you now."
Solomon declares with an unquestionable tone.
"In my mythology, there is no need for the existence of humans like you."
As the words fall...
"Bang!"
The magical bullet formed by pure and powerful magical energy once again pierced through the constraints of space and time, exploding.
However, this time, Solomon's magic did not hit its target.
"Ugh...!"
Mash, standing in front of Rozen with her shield, endured this force. She was hit by the surging magical energy, emitting a muffled groan, sounding extremely dull.
Surprisingly, it was Mash who attracted Solomon's attack with the ability of "Shield of Rousing Resolution," bearing the impact of this magic that even the highest level of "Magic Resistance" couldn't overcome.
Almost simultaneously, Rozen took action.
"Clap!"
Rozen resolutely clasped his hands together, chanting an incantation.
"————————————"
Along with the lengthy chant, an astonishing flame was awakened.
