[Comprehensive] King's Best Friend

Facing King Xian's gaze, Tatsuka Fujimaru took out a crystal ball from his bosom and handed it to Mayne beside him.

"That old man asked me to give it to you, he..."

Mayne couldn't hear the following words clearly, because the moment Fujimaru Tachika took out the crystal ball, his consciousness was pulled into the ball.

In other words, it was he who voluntarily gave up resistance and chose to enter——

It was a dark space, but not empty.There are countless beautiful faint blue flames, ignited in clusters, floating quietly in the air.

"Bah…"

There was a deliberately made movement behind him, and Mayne turned his head following the sound, only to realize that at some point, there was a figure with a dark cloak and a blurry face standing there.

——Although there are reasons why he didn't maintain the highest vigilance, but even so, being able to sneak up to such a close distance from him without making a sound... This level of concealment skills is almost...

"Are you the mysterious old man that the Master said?"

Mayne calmed down the thoughts in his heart, and said: "I deliberately used this ball as a medium to talk to me, but did not show my real body. It seems that Your Excellency is not a simple person."

That's right, the moment Fujimaru Tachika took out the ball, Mayne judged that it was an extremely ancient communication magic.

And different from ordinary magic, this kind of ball can even communicate the presence and aura of both parties, achieving the effect of almost meeting in reality.

Although this kind of technology is sophisticated, it is actually superfluous. After all, in theory, communication only needs to maintain visual and auditory connectivity.

In Mayne's impression, the only ones who are so obsessed with breath, and even researched this kind of thing with excellence, are assassins.

"A heroic spirit with a quadruple real name, don't be so wary of me."

"Acknowledge, I am the one who rings the evening bell. The world is about to be a stranger, and I am here in this world."

The unknown old man spoke.

When Mayne heard this, he was not surprised that the other party saw through his four vests at a glance, but fell silent strangely.

Although he seldom uses clairvoyance, but sure enough, there is something about this person that makes him feel extremely familiar...

Many fragments flashed through my mind in an instant, and finally, a word emerged——

"The crown..."

Mayne suddenly raised his lowered eyes, showing a rare look of surprise: "Are you, the Crown Hidden One?"

There is nothing wrong with this person's oppressive feeling, this unique and powerful fluctuation, which can only be achieved by a crowned spirit base.

And the servants who have the crown spirit base are the crown servants.They are existences standing at the top of each class, far surpassing ordinary Heroic Spirits, and even comparable to gods.

Crown servants will only appear in the world for the sake of correction when there are major changes in the world.

"A follower of the crown must do the things of the crown, obey the consciousness of the world, and cannot act according to his own will. So, forgive me, dare to ask whether you are an enemy or a friend."

Correcting the world, to be honest, with the urine of the world consciousness, maybe Chaldea will also be included in the category that needs to be corrected (cleared).

Mayne knew that now was not the time to sit down and introduce himself, drink tea and chat slowly, so he didn't go around in circles, and asked straight to the point.

Fortunately, the old man, or the old man of the mountain, has a neat enough character.

I saw that the blue fire suddenly ignited, illuminating the face of the old man of the mountain. It was a skull mask representing death, and the eyes were shadowy holes.

"I will lend you a helping hand."

The old man of the mountain directly stated his position: "The name of the crown is not what I need, I use my sword to do my own way."

Mayne guessed right, this time the world consciousness really didn't let the man of the mountain come to help Chaldea.But the old man of the mountain is a ruthless person. In order to get rid of restraint and carry out his determination, he directly gave up the title of crown.

Of course, although the name of the crown was lost, the strength of the spirit foundation was still at the crown level.

Mayne was puzzled: "Your Excellency does not have the obligation to help, why do you have to do this?"

The old man of the mountain spoke without hesitation, and his deep tone seemed to come from the remote past: "I once owed a favor to the crowned caster, and you are his equivalent."

Helping Mayne is equivalent to helping that crowned caster.

The old man of the mountain doesn't like to owe favors to others, or in other words, he cares too much about every ounce of affection he receives.If someone gives him a piece of bread, he will return the fountain.

... crown caster.

Mayne sighed—that fellow Solomon, it seems that during his time as a Heroic Spirit, he unexpectedly did something good...

"I understand."

Mayne didn't ask about the relationship between the Old Man of the Mountain and Solomon. The two on the left and right are crowned, and they were probably formed when they worked together.

As for now-

"Let's talk about how to solve Tiamat..."

……

Although the consciousness has been talking for a long time in the crystal ball, it is only a moment in the outside world.

So when Mayne's thoughts returned to reality, Fujimaru Tatsuka had just finished the first sentence.

"The old man asked me to give it to you. He said that you will understand when you see it... eh, Mayne?"

Under Fujimaru Tachika's surprised gaze, the silver-haired hero reached out and took the crystal ball directly.

Heroic Spirit's gaze was not calm at first, but as if he had realized something, clear and familiar.

Fujimaru Tachika looked at the heroic spirit, and then at the crystal ball——you can understand it if you really see it...it's amazing!

Compared with Fujimaru Tachika's emotion, Gilgamesh is obviously much more sensitive.

"Did something happen just now?"

The golden king noticed the sudden change of his friend, and his red eyes fell on the crystal ball in the hands of the hero, and he narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is there something wrong with this thing?"

"Well, it's quite an incredible prop."

Recalling the words of the Old Man of the Mountain, Mayne slowly relayed: "There is a supreme blow of a strong man sealed inside it, its name is 'Angel of Death', once activated, it can endow Tiamat with the power of 'death'." concept, to eliminate her first level of immortality."

To put it bluntly, this ball was not only used by the old man of the mountain to contact Mayne, but at the same time, the crown hidden person sealed his treasure into this ball, which can be activated immediately after being smashed.

Note, however, that this is a one-off.

But even so, it was enough against the sky.

"Hey, is this ball so amazing?!"

Ishtar suddenly took a few steps back in his arms, and with a look of lingering fear, he muttered in a low voice: "It's okay, it's okay, I almost dropped it on the road... Ugh! You, don't look at me, I It's not a real fall!"

"It happened to be caught by me when it fell out."

Fujimaru Tachika wiped off his sweat happily: "Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough, huh..."

"Ishtar." The virtuous king in the light curtain said suddenly.

"Ah? Call, what are you calling me for?" Ishtar responded with a guilty conscience.

King Xian: "Oh..."

Three seconds later, after Ishtar (was) willing (punished) commanded Maanna and assumed the role of Mayne, he attracted the existence of Tiamat's firepower.

"You must hurry up and find a way, I won't last long, I will be killed by my mother, I will really die!"

Ishtar cried and ran for his life from Tiamat's attack, and turned his head and shouted to the people on the coast.

Except for Tachika Fujimaru who also glanced at Ishtar, the rest of the people ignored each other completely and continued to discuss strategies calmly.

Ishtar: You guys are too heartless, am I an ally after all? !

Everyone: Allies who dragged their legs at the critical moment and almost cheated their teammates?

Ishtar: ... qaq

"The place of the decisive battle excludes the underworld."

With Ishtar's crazily shouting "Help, help" as the background sound, Mayne said calmly: "I have to choose a place that has no life and doesn't need to spend a lot of time preparing like the underworld..."

"Does that kind of place really exist?"

Fujimaru Tachika looked at the primordial mother who was getting closer and closer to the runaway sea in the distance, and couldn't help but said: "In this world, apart from the underworld, where can there be no living people?"

Mayne nodded: "Yes, there is no such thing in this world, so it cannot be this world."

Fujimaru Tachika: "?"

"You mean... imaginary number space?"

Compared with Tachika Fujimaru, who knew little about it, Gilgamesh and King Xian obviously thought of more.

The so-called imaginary number space, in simple terms, is the opposite of the real number space in which we exist—an other dimension/space/world.

That is another world.

What needs special attention is that before Tiamat came to this world, she had been sleeping in an imaginary space—there was no life in it.

Therefore, in the imaginary space, Tiamat's second level of immortality of "living beings will not die" can also be suppressed.

Thinking about it this way, the imaginary space is simply a more perfect place for decisive battles than the underworld.

"But how?"

Gilgamesh frowned slightly: "The entrance to the imaginary space is not so easy to find."

The difficulty of going from real number space to imaginary number space can be compared to crossing from three-dimensional to Two-dimensional.No matter how strong you are, if you have no way or way, you can only stay cool.

"I can. Among the treasures I hold, there is one that can open the imaginary space." Mayne said word by word: "Not only that, but it can also create an inherent barrier in the imaginary space, as a barrier to imprison Tia. Matt's cage."

"But that's the ideal effect. In the actual implementation process... Everyone——"

"I need your help."

That treasure is one of the three treasures belonging to the demon god Mayne. It was originally a skill that was dismissed as too useless and kept being thrown into the warehouse for ashes. I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

"...Hmph, it looks like it's going to be a big fight."

Xian Wang was the first to laugh, and Hong Yu's eyes were shining brightly: "No problem, this king has waited for this day long enough, just say what you need."

"Same as this king." Gilgamesh raised his eyebrows, full of interest: "My friend, you are the one who shares everything with this king. Take whatever you want."

Fujimaru Tachika: "I, my words... um... help you guys cheer?... Sorry, I don't seem to be useful qaq"

"No, Master, on the contrary—this time you are the main force."

Mayne looked at the girl and said earnestly: "How much you can achieve in the end depends on you."

Fujimaru Tachika: "...Huh?"

Time was running out, and after that, everyone called back Ishtar, who was about to be smashed by Tiamat, and made the final arrangements.

After everything was explained properly, Mayne scanned everyone one by one, and finally confirmed it: "Are you clear about your respective tasks?"

The Xian Wang smiled proudly: "It's been a long time since I've become active, this king can't wait."

"Ha, what a boring life you lived before."

Gilgamesh glanced at his other self in distaste, then raised his jaw and said affirmatively, "Don't worry, dear friend, this king cannot miss."

Fujimaru Tatsuka nodded silently, clenched his fists: "Me too, I will try my best... No, I will definitely last a little longer!"

"Ah, are you really going to do it?!"

Ishtar had just narrowly escaped death from Tiamat, and at the moment the whole person was in a state of anxiety.

It wasn't until everyone looked over that Ishtar gritted his teeth, and with a mentality of seeing death as home, he broke the jar and said: "Okay, I understand, in short, just do your best—what will happen, I will But don't care!"

After confirming that everyone was ready to take their positions, Mayne took a step forward, and clearly cast his gaze towards the Black Sea in the distance, pointing directly at the huge figure on the sea, and announced with a loud voice——

"Then, the counterattack against the original mother - Tiamat will officially begin!"

The country, the world, destiny, humanity, glory, Vientiane... bet on everything!Success or failure, in one fell swoop!
