Chaldea, Central Command Room.
When Rozen and Mash entered, everyone was already present.
Not only Chaldea's staff, but even Artoria [Alter], Jeanne [Alter], and Hassan of Serenity had gathered.
"Rozen."
"Rorelai."
"Rozen."
The moment Rozen arrived, all eyes turned toward him.
After all, in this final battle, Rozen was the central figure.
However, when everyone laid eyes on him, they couldn't help but pause in surprise.
Because from Rozen's body, they could feel an unbelievable aura.
"You're…?"
Both Olga Marie and Da Vinci were taken aback.
"Could it be…"
Artoria [Alter], Jeanne [Alter], and Serenity seemed to realize something, their expressions sharpening.
"Rozen…"
Even Roman was left staring at him in a daze.
He couldn't help it.
That calm expression, that transcendent aura—it gave Roman the illusion that he was "looking at his past self."
But compared to that "past self," Rozen's composure and transcendence were far stronger, utterly beyond comparison.
This left Roman astonished.
But Rozen himself paid no attention to anyone's surprise. As though unaware of their reactions, he simply smiled faintly and got straight to the point.
"Have you located Solomon?"
Those words instantly broke everyone's daze.
They exchanged glances, suppressed their doubts, turned back to Rozen, and nodded.
"Yes, we've found him. The coordinates are currently being verified. Once preparations are complete, Chaldea will conduct a full Rayshift and deploy directly on site."
Olga Marie's face was tight as she explained.
"And where exactly are those coordinates?"
Mash immediately asked.
The answer came from Da Vinci.
"If our analysis is correct, the Mage King Solomon's coordinates are within a fictional dimension outside the normal timeline, completely cut off from the regular flow of time. That's why his location remained hidden until now. From there, he could move freely through any era, wreaking havoc, even awakening Tiamat in the end."
Da Vinci explained further.
"According to our current observations, we've detected an independent Singularity there. The Singularity's entire structure resembles a living being—and even more so, a temple. That temple has been absorbing unimaginable amounts of mana from every era of human history, forming within its center an extraordinarily vast vortex of mana."
Hearing Da Vinci's words, Rozen recalled the memories he had witnessed on the Tablets of Destiny.
At the very end, he had seen Solomon ascend a great temple and sit upon a throne.
And above that throne, the very same light belt that had appeared over every Singularity had manifested there.
"Absorbing unimaginable mana from every era of human history, forming a tremendous vortex of mana at the temple's center…?"
Rozen narrowed his eyes.
He had reason to believe that this astonishing vortex was Solomon's throne—and at the same time, that very light belt.
Solomon had orchestrated the Incineration of Humanity precisely to create that light belt, destroying human history and siphoning mana from all its ages.
That was why the light belt had appeared in every one of the seven Singularities.
Rozen also recalled the words he had heard before.
"To destroy it required all resources."
"To forget it required all time."
"For this, we built the temple, gathered the light, and at last achieved this grand work—the complete incineration of Human Order."
"Go."
"Seek the path to the Final Singularity."
"There, upon the throne of the King of Magic, I await."
"This domain is named Solomon. The end's extreme, the altar of the time vortex, the hope of reaching the beginning."
These words confirmed it all.
In other words—
"Chaldea's destination is the Final Singularity—Solomon."
Rozen voiced the truth.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then nodded one after another.
Yes. That was the Final Singularity—the place where everything ended, and where everything began.
"A temple beyond the ordinary timeline, an Altar of the Time Vortex… let's call it the Temple of Time."
Roman gave it the name, and everyone approved.
The gathered Servants even declared:
"Our mission is to strike directly at the Temple of Time and defeat the Mage King Solomon, isn't it?"
Artoria [Alter] summarized concisely.
"Straightforward and clean—I like that kind of battle. Much better than the tedious messes in the past Singularities."
Jeanne [Alter] grinned.
"All we need to do is find Solomon and defeat him. No more tedious exploration, no need to retrieve a Holy Grail—it's truly simple."
Serenity murmured softly.
"So this time, the objective is very clear. Once Chaldea lands at the Temple of Time, we immediately storm the temple, find Solomon, and defeat him—that will be our victory."
Da Vinci spoke with crisp certainty.
"Of course, the goal may be simple, but achieving it will not be easy."
Olga Marie poured cold water on the moment.
And indeed, as she said, the objective was simple—but far from easy.
"Mage King Solomon is undoubtedly a formidable foe."
Roman spoke with utmost gravity.
"True, after facing down the Beasts, you may no longer regard a mere Grand Servant as much of a threat. But Solomon clearly holds mysteries beyond that level. He is far from being just a Grand Servant. And the Temple of Time itself will not be easily breached."
Roman operated the console, projecting a holographic image before everyone's eyes.
It was the structural layout of the Temple of Time.
The temple resembled a massive circular altar. Its central region was completely cut off from the outer layers, with endless streams of mana converging inward. Around the central zone, numerous red dots were marked.
"All of these red points are abnormal Class readings. After comparing them with the database, their patterns match perfectly with the Demon Pillars encountered in the First Singularity. And there are precisely seventy-two of them—most likely the Seventy-Two Demon Gods under Solomon's command."
Roman's face was grave.
"Solomon must already know that our analysis of the Seventh Holy Grail revealed his throne's location. That's why he's placed himself on full alert—deploying all seventy-two Demon Gods throughout the Temple of Time. Breaking through their defenses to reach the throne at the center will be anything but easy."
"This battle isn't just a hunt or a sweep after locating the enemy. It's more akin to storming the enemy's main fortress."
"You must break through the defenses of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods, penetrate the Temple of Time, and reach the throne. Only then will you stand before Mage King Solomon."
And only then would the true final battle begin.
That was the meaning behind Roman's words.
