-892- Just can't muster any interest

"Hehe..."

Watching Rozen raise the honey mead, Medb's smile became even sweeter.

Once he drinks this cup of wine, regardless of Rozen's abilities, the ultimate result will be him becoming Medb's captive.

This is the power of Medb's Noble Phantasm, existing solely to conquer men.

As Rozen brings the cup emitting an irresistible fragrance to his lips, at that moment...

"Why are you doing whatever you want in this Singularity, even at the cost of killing all the indigenous people?"

Before drinking the honey wine, Rozen unexpectedly asked this question.

Upon hearing this, Medb was momentarily surprised but then casually replied, "Of course, it's to dominate this continent."

"Dominance?" Rozen spoke in a low voice. "Just for dominance, do you not care about what will happen to this Singularity, Human Order, or the world?"

Facing this question, Medb, as if hearing something amusing, laughed joyfully.

"Singularity? Human Order? World? What are those?" Medb tilted her head and said nonchalantly, "Those are all mine, possessions of Queen Medb, you know?"

Since they belong to herself...

"How to use them is all up to me, isn't it?"

Medb said these overbearing and unreasonable words with an innocent tone.

"But they are not truly yours."

Rozen spoke in a low voice.

To this, Medb's reply was succinct.

"That's why I need to dominate them."

Medb unabashedly declared.

Hearing this, Rozen couldn't help but understand—the true nature of the queen before him. She is a woman who can overturn everything just for her own sake.

For her desires, she allows no disobedience.

For her desires, she claimed countless men in her lifetime.

And she particularly loves treasures, once using it as a reason to start a great war rivaling the entirety of Ulster.

As Scáthach mentioned, this queen is a embodiment of possessiveness and dominance, a true incarnation of desire.

As long as it fulfills her desires, as long as it achieves her ambitions, this queen will passionately pursue it in any form. Everything happening in this Singularity stems from this.

To obtain warriors she never had in life, Medb modified Cú Chulainn.

To conquer the entire North American continent, creating a nation where she could ride freely with Cú Chulainn, Medb didn't hesitate to exterminate the indigenous people, ignoring the destruction of Human Order.

In terms of selfishness, this queen is undoubtedly at the highest level, the epitome of selfishness.

Yet, this queen possesses the capability to accomplish all of this.

Just as she involved the entire Ulster in war in her lifetime for treasures, this time, for her own selfishness, she entangled the entire Singularity in the chaos she created.

This is Medb, Queen Medb.

Didn't she say it herself?

"I dislike everything that refuses to submit to me."

Medb expressed herself candidly.

"If it doesn't belong to me, then it's fine to destroy it."

Precisely because of this, the Cú Chulainn of her lifetime died by Medb's hands.

Precisely because of this, the indigenous people in this Singularity were ruthlessly exterminated by Medb.

Now, Rozen also faces such a situation.

"Submit to me, become mine."

Medb embraced Rozen's neck, speaking sweetly to his face.

"In that case, I'll let you stay here. I'll give you everything you want, including myself."

Medb so explicitly and boldly displayed her pursuit.

Unfortunately...

"I'm truly sorry, Your Majesty."

Rozen stared at the wine in his hand and, with unwavering determination, said these words.

"As for me, I just can't muster any interest in you."

This is Rozen's greatest feeling.

"Clang—!"

In this instant, as Rozen lifted the cup, ready to drain the honey wine, a character appeared on his forehead, emitting a radiant glow.

It was the character "Ah(阿)," written in Sanskrit.

"What...!?"

Witnessing the Sanskrit character suddenly glowing on Rozen's forehead, Medb was greatly astonished.

However, the queen's reaction was lightning-fast; she reflexively leaped away.

Yet, in the confined space of the vehicle, how much distance could Medb create?

Dragging Rozen into this space was both Medb's success and her failure.

Beneath the "Ah(阿)" on his forehead, Rozen's gradually faltering spirit suddenly surged, reclaiming dominion over his mind and body.

—The "Ah(阿)-Character Insight."

A meditation technique from Esoteric Buddhism that quickly unifies the mind through meditating on the "Ah(阿)" character, intensifying the circulation of spiritual energy in the body, purifying one's internal spiritual energy, and dispelling the influence of any magical interference.

Once, using this technique, Rozen broke free from the control of the Raven's Wing that once possessed him.

Now, Rozen employed it again, clearing away the charm on himself and reclaiming his body and mind.

Then...

"Splurt!"

Amidst the sound of flesh tearing, a pitch-black, sharp spear protruded from Medb's back.

Almost as Medb leaped away, Rozen regained control of his body and mind; his coat abruptly surged, transforming into a sharp spear that thrust toward Medb.

Even without the effect of dispelling Medb's charm, Kinu had the functions of automatic defense and counterattack. The moment Medb approached Rozen, Kinu was already itching to act, just suppressed by Rozen.

In other words, Rozen had been waiting for an opportunity to counterattack against Medb since he was dragged into the chariot, after understanding the situation.

This moment was now.

Hence, the coat of Kinu transformed directly into a sharp spear, piercing through Medb's heart.

"Bang!"

A shattering sound echoed from within Medb. It was the sound of her spiritual core breaking.

"Boom!"

In that split second, the vehicle cabin, acting as a bounded field, explosively shattered.

"Ugh... Ahhhhhhh...!"

Simultaneously, the pitiful scream of Medb resounded, spreading throughout the entire battlefield.

The chariot vanished, returning Rozen and Medb to the battlefield.

However, Rozen, flipping his coat, soared into the air.

As for Medb, she directly fell out, crashing onto the ground, unable to rise.
