Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 106

“Oh? So the Court Magician that Onii-sama mentioned doesn’t aim to execute the current Emperor of Rome and take the throne after all.”

After hearing Waver’s inference, Reines retrieved the keyword “usurper” and showed a keen interest.

“Sima Yi-sama seems to be very interested in this Court Magician and wants to know what kind of person he is.”

“That man is not an ordinary usurper. I have met him once. If possible, I don’t want you to meet him.”

Waver pushed up his black-framed glasses.

“That man is not an ordinary human, or rather, he has transcended the realm of humans.”

“Eh? Onii-sama, now that you say that, I’m even more curious.”

Reines leaned closer, as if she had heard something interesting.

“After successfully summoning many generals, the Court Magician captured Rome, but he has yet to execute the true Emperor of this era.”

In the rocking carriage, Waver spoke slowly.

“If we go by Chaldea’s theory, his goal is to distort human history at this specific point in time, to create chaos using the Holy Grail. Now that he has successfully captured Rome, all he needs to do is kill Nero Claudius to achieve his goal. But he hasn’t done so.”

“This indicates that his goal is not only to distort the history of this era, or rather, distorting the history of this era is only a part of his true goal.”

After hearing Waver’s words, Bai Qiu immediately understood something.

If the goal of the King of Humans is to use human history as energy to travel 4.6 billion years into the past, then what Lev needs to do in this era is to destroy human history and use it as fuel.

Killing Nero would only result in the emergence of a new ruler in the Roman Empire, but Rome would still exist.

Human history would change, but the changes would not be so drastic.

So what Lev is expecting is to completely destroy the “Roman” Empire, causing even greater distortion and increasing the Humanity Foundation Value level.

Although Waver, who has merged with Kongming, doesn’t know Goetia’s intentions, he quickly discerned Professor Lev’s goal with his own keen insight.

Should I say it’s no wonder he’s Zhuge Village’s person? He truly possesses great wisdom.

“Although that’s the case, our time is not unlimited. Because our actions will accelerate his plan, we must formulate a detailed plan to rescue Emperor Nero as soon as possible.”

“Truly, Onii-sama, with the help of Kongming-sama, it seems that you have become more reliable than before.”

Reines’s praise, however, did not make Waver happy.

“What’s wrong, what’s wrong? Onii-sama always has a stern face.”

“Well, isn’t it because you always cause trouble! Don’t come so close, are you thinking of some strange plan again!!!”

“Onii-sama, you worry too much. It’s just that your adorable little sister is here with you. I haven’t thought of any strange plans to tease you, I promise.”

As Reines teased Kong-sensei, Bai Qiu leaned against the rocking carriage, contemplating other matters.

“System, how many points do I have now?”

【The host’s current live points total 210,000.】

【You can make about 210 draws.】

【200 draws left until the next guaranteed Heroic Spirit.】

There’s still one guaranteed chance.

When necessary, I can also strengthen the Saint Graph twice.

It’s really difficult to guess Professor Lev’s conspiracy, but for some reason, Bai Qiu has a bad feeling.

It will take some time from here to Magalia. Let’s rest for a while.

————-

Roman City, the meeting hall.

The magnificent hall symbolizes the mighty Roman Empire with its countless wealth.

A tall and majestic figure sits on the throne made of gold, with Lev standing beside him.

“Oh, Divine Ancestor!!!”

A soldier rushes in, looking panicked.

“We’ve received news from the frontlines. The strategist of the Allied Forces has defected, King Leonidas is severely wounded, and even Emperor Caesar couldn’t stop the invaders!!!”

Upon hearing this unfavorable news, the man sitting on the throne remains silent, just sitting there quietly.

“Divine Ancestor, can I handle this matter?”

Lev bows and asks the man.

“I leave it to you.”

After receiving his approval, Lev immediately shouts to the soldiers below.

“King Leonidas’ defeat was caused by his arrogance, but he is still useful to the Allied Forces, so we won’t punish him for now. As for Caesar, let him regroup and pursue the invaders. I will send other troops to support later.”

“Yes, Lord Magus!!!”

After receiving Lev’s orders, the messenger soldier hurriedly leaves the palace.

In the grand hall, only the man on the throne and Lev remain.

“Magus, does my dear child still refuse to submit?”

The man speaks softly.

“Nero Claudius is still resisting. She still doesn’t acknowledge you as the ruler of Rome and continues to rebel.”

“How lovely, how beautiful, what a magnificent existence. No wonder she can uphold the entire Rome with her slender arms!!!”

The man suddenly stands up.

“But I am Rome itself! She should be an existence dedicated to me!!!”

“Understood, I will intensify my persuasion to her and hope for her return to Rome soon.”

“Yes, leave the matter of the Allied Forces to you. Drive away those rats who dare to nibble at Rome. As long as I am here, the glory of Rome will endure!”

“Yes, Divine Ancestor.”

After bidding farewell, Lev leaves the meeting hall.

He smiles and adjusts his hat.

“What a foolish Heroic Spirit, still attempting to maintain this era. But the Holy Grail is still in my hands, there will be no variables. As long as the empire of this era collapses, the king’s long-cherished wish will be fulfilled.”

Lev takes out a piece of cloth from his pocket, covered in fresh red marks and emanating ominous Magical Energy.

The eyes on the fragment have lost their luster and turned dark red, but the immense Magical Energy contained within is still visible.

“Amdusias, that idiot, failed. But its body can still be of use. If the true emperor of this country turns into a distorted pillar of flesh during execution, I suppose the faith in this country will collapse in an instant, right?”

Lev suddenly bursts into laughter.

“Hahaha, what Rome! It’s just a crazy empire built by a bunch of arrogant people! But it’ll take some time to completely destroy Rome. Let the ants of Chaldea struggle a little longer.”

Lev then puts the fragment back into his pocket and walks towards the dungeon where Nero Claudius is imprisoned.
