«[The time of birth hath come.]»
A king, a king who acts like a machine, his tan skin, long braided white hair fell down at his right shoulder. His amber eyes hold nothing but emptiness yet it also holds gentleness, his lips curled up as he gazed at the distance,
"Solomon, why are you only watching? Why, why, why?! Humans at war, children are dying because of the consequences of war. Thousands of families lose its members, they become malnourished because of the lack of food and water. Look at your kingdom reduce to rubble like a slum!" A shadow manifested behind the man who sat at the throne, Its blackish smoke surrounds its body and thousands of red eyes.
Another thing also appeared in front of the man.
"Solomon! Don't you care about humanity?! Why are you still sitting there and doing nothing!" More and more beings manifested in front of Solomon.
"Solomon, we are begging you, please save them, save them from their misery! We beg you, Solomon!" Another voiced at with sorrowful,
"Solomon! Use your omnipotent to stop this meaningless war! The death is too much, we can't watch this any longer!" More and more voices continue to demand Solomon who still sat at the throne.
Yet, despite their attempt to plead Solomon to stop the war, the king did not reply, instead it continued to look beyond the horizons.
The beings shrouded by blackish fog, clicked it's tongue at the same time, anger, anger, anger. It's their first time to feel anger, not to humanity but the king who did nothing.
«[He is the One who Masters All.]»
"Solomon, you arrogant useless bastard. A fool, an idiot, stupid, We can't even fathom how horrible and disgusting you are. Why did God give you the authority over us? Why did God give you omnipotent when all you do is nothing? Why did God give you an eye that can travel beyond the horizons yet do nothing despite seeing the tragedies? Why, why, why?!" The blackish beings said in union, their hatred directed towards the king.
Yet despite their hatred and anger, the king simply smiled, not minding their intent towards him.
"Solomon... We will be back, mark our words, if you can't save humanity, then we will save humanity from you. WE, the 72 Demon Gods will remember this anger, this burning hatred, this helplessness towards you." One by one, they disappear into shadow, sinking the deepest part of the abyss.
«[The Time of Crowning hath come, He is the One who Begins All.]»
The king left alone at his throne, he sat there unmoving like a rock. Time continued to pass by, the king got up from his throne and walked towards the balcony, where he and the heaven met.
The wind blows past the king's nose, its gentle breeze swayed his white robe, and his white hair flattered.
Rising his hands, the ten rings at his fingers glowed brightly, Illuminating the room, the man opened his mouth,
"And ― The Time of Parting hath come, He is the One who Lets Go of The World."
The rings floated above his hand in a circle, glowing brightly like a star, and with the last words Solomon said,
"_________." Solomon falls down, his eyes become hollow, with that- the Age of Gods has finally come to an end.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Fire, heat, black smoke. The city was in a massive fire, the black smoke ascending to the sky, and the smell of burning.
Amends the chaos, two individuals watching from afar, the man wore expensive clothes in pure white. His long white braided hair falls down to his right shoulder.
This man's name is Marisbury Animusphere, the head of the Animusphere family. The robe man opened his mouth and said,
"The Holy Grail war is over. We were victorious."
"... What do your desires?"
Marisbury turned his head at the man and replied,
"The completati of CHALDEAS, I don't care about the third magic. I, we the Animusphere family governing astromancy, we must reach the root with approach our own unique way." Marisbury continued as he slightly smiled towards the robe man,
"As for you... What do you desire?" The robe man did not reply instead, he continues to look at the burning city in silence.
"Caster- no, I should call you Solomon now. Tell me Solomon, what is your desire?" This time, the robe man- Solomon, answered.
"To become a human." Marisbury widens his eyes and asks in confusion,
"To become a human...? That's unusual of you, Solomon. I thought you'll wish to revive and roam this world." Solomon shook his head.
"I won't pry to your wishes, Solomon." Marisbury said, as the two continue to look at the burning city.

Final Singularity: Temple of Solomon.
At the control room, we see two people, a man and a woman at the highest ground looking at the screen, below them are the employees processing the units and accessing the data of the technology.
"Do whatever you want... Huh." The man wore a white lab coat, green clothes, and gloves. His orange messy hair covering his green eyes, he clenched the coffee mug. This man's name is Romani Archaman, acting director of chaldea and the current nurse.
"Ritsuka, you are really amazing." Romani got up from his table, taking off his ID he was about to put down, a female voice questioned him,
"Are there really no other choices, Romani?" Romani stayed silent for a second and said,
"Da Vinci, I'll be leaving the operation control to you, once the Singularity is done, I'll leave Ritsuka from your hand." The woman named, Da Vinci remained silent and she then said,
"I won't be expecting a souvenir." With that said, Romani walked away, heading towards the Temple of Solomon.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
TEMPLE OF SOLOMON:
Goetia, a magic made by Solomon for humanity's final defense, protector of humanity in case someone attempted to destroy them. Alas, due to the hatred of 72 Demon Gods, they fused together along with the magic named "Goetia" and became one.
Their goal was to save humanity, to make a world without death. But instead of saving it, they approach the "destruction", they made humanity as a fuel to their grand plan, messing with the history.
"Strike me with those frail human hands" Goetia said as the man before him- Fujimaru Ritsuka replied with anger burning through his eyes,
"Nothing would make me happier!" As Ritsuka is about to throw a fist with Goetia, a voice stops him,
"Wait a minute, Ritsuka. Save that strength for the time being. Suicidal move isn't your style." Looking back, Ritsuka saw Romani walking towards him with a smile.
"Doctor..." Romani finally arrived at his side and said,
"I know, I know. I'm sorry for stealing your highlights but I promise, it will be quick." Goetia looked at the Romani and said,
"Romani Archaman, you should've died in that explosion but because to Fujimaru Ritsuka, you survive. It was a miscalculation of my plan- You... That spirit origin?" Goetia widens his eyes a little, his iris shrink as Romani slowly takes off his gloves revealing a gold ring at his middle finger.
"The tenth ring..." Goetia looked at the ring intensely and his voice grew louder.
"No! It can't be!" Finally Goetia finally realized the man In front of him.
"Yeah, it was just 11 years ago. When the previous head of the chaldea, Marisbury Animusphere." Romani continued as Goetia did not interrupt him,
"King Solomon sent it to the distant future at the time of his death. That was Solomon. The very first heroic spirit summoned by Chaldea."
"During the holy grail war, Solomon single Handley won the holy grail war along with the Marisbury Animusphere, he obtained the grail and had his wish granted." Romani continues to narrate the story of the previous Holy Grail War.
""I want to be a human", his wish was a very ordinary one." Suddenly, Goetia interrupted him, his voice loud enough to echo the seemingly finite space of Temple of Solomon,
"Impossible! Absurd! Such a man could not have possessed such an ordinary wish!" Goetia's voice grew anger, his fish clenched tightly. Yet despite the outburst, Romani chuckles,
"Hearing that from you really stings my heart. You hate me little too much, Goetia. Anyway, Solomon's wish was granted. But there was a problem." Romani continue,
"Solomon possessed the skill clairvoyance. In fact, his was so potent that it was essentially omniscience. When he becomes a human, he loses all those powers. That wasn't really a big problem but... Before he lost all those powers, he saw it. The destruction of humanity, he doesn't know what to do, why, how, and who? And how could it be prevented? He lost power of knowing those." As Romani narrates it, he clenches his fist tightly and stares at it, but even so, he continues talking,
"He couldn't ignore it. Thus it began my journey, during my travel, I experienced emotions I personally did not experience, grief, anger, happiness. The more I travel, the more new things I experience." Romani turned his head and looked at Ritsuka, a smile plastered at his face.
"And Ritsuka, with you I experienced more amazing things I didn't experience, learn many things and enjoy many things. Mash, Da Vinci and everyone, I'm truly grateful to you." Ritsuka widened his eyes as because of the sudden compliment,
"What the... You too, doctor? What are you-"
Ritsuka words completely cut off as Romani glow, his appearance changed, his white skin turned into tan, his hair orange and wearing a black and white robe dignified as a king.
Romani- no, Solomon looks at Goetia, raising his hand revealing 10 rings at his fingers.
"I am Solomon, king of mage. Goetia, born from my shadow and sins, it is I who shall read your last rite." Goetia snickers, then turns into a blown laughter, took a step forward heading towards Solomon.
"Hahahahaha! What can you even do? Now that it's already all over, mankind's greatest fool makes an appearance!" Goetia words full of insults, arrogance and anger.
"Life is like pilgrimage, in which we stockpile suffering. However, that is not by no means a tale of death and partings." The rings on his finger glint, reflecting Goetia's appearance.
"Goetia, shame of my years, beast born from my corpse. Here and now, I will pass judgement on your evil with my own hands." As Solomon said his line,
"Hah! Don't make me laugh!" Goetia bent slightly and with a sudden burst of speed, he appeared In front of Solomon, raising his hand and delivering a powerful punch.
But alas, despite being powerful, Goetia's fist was met with invinsible barrier. A crack formed from the impact yet, it immediately repaired itself.
"You can't do anything! Die! Die!" Goetia continues to throw a powerful punch yet the barrier is still holding, repairing itself.
"I will personally send you death with your own noble phantasm!" Despite Goetia's continuous attack, Solomon did not blink nor startled. He continues to look at Goetia indifferently.
"Yeah. That's my plan, I will be extinguished by using my own noble phantasm." As Solomon said with a cold voice, Goetia stopped his tracks and looked at him with disbelief.
"What?" Goetia replied with confusion as Solomon raised his hands,
"For a time in the distant future, when magecraft turns into an evil against humanity, Solomon prepared a safety device to destroy it. This is the true first Noble Phantasm."
"What are you talking about-?!" Goetia grew worried.
"Now with all the rings here... I can now perform that Noble Phantasm. Goetia, you're my magic to help humanity, but instead you turn yourself against them." The ring on his finger glowed brightly,
"No! Stop! Stop! Stop it! Don't do it," Goetia attacks turn quicker, with each impact made by his fist the rocks become a dust because of the pressure.
"The time of birth hath come,"
"He is the One who Masters All.
"The Time of Crowning hath come, He is the One who Begins All."
"And ― The Time of Parting hath come, He is the One who Lets Go of The World." With the final chant, Goetia fist finally broke the barrier, his punch pierced through Solomon's abdomen, Solomon coughed as blood dripped down from his mouth. The ten rings who was glowing floated into the air, forming a circle.
"You can't do anything, Solomon! Why? You have the power of omnipotent! Why didn't you use it to the fullest?! Why! Just why!"
"All you do is stared! You did nothing to them, nothing!" Goetia angrily shouted at Solomon, yet Solomon only smiled.
"O heavenly father, I will return your blessing to you. Omnipotent is too much for a human to handle. Ars nova." The rings then pierced at Goetia, restraining him from the throne like a crucified.
"Doctor... Why?" Solomon turn his head at Ritsuka, and simply said
"Why? Well, Ritsuka did a lot of achievements and I'm embrass not to have one. Sorry Ritsuka, I stole all your lightning." Solomon chuckles lightly, Ritsuka faces turn into sorrow.
"Why... Aren't you afraid, Doctor..."
"Of course I am afraid, but it can't be helped. Because of me, Goetia has become like this and it's my job to clean up my mess."
Solomon's body turns into golden particles and slowly disappears.
"Ritsuka... I'm truly grateful..."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Cold... Scared... Sorrow... Grief... What am I doing... Where am I? Who am I... Solomon floated to a boundless darkness, nothing to see nor hear. It was "Nothing". He hears "Nothing", and he sees "Nothing."
In this boundless void, he can only float endlessly, who knows how long he has been floating. He never knew, he want to know but no one will tell him.
Solomon is alone in this never-ending blankness.
As Solomon continue to float, a sudden burst of light appeared the void, casting the darkness, revealing it's holyness.
Just then, Solomon heard a voices, it's like calling him...
"...mon..."
"So... Mon."
"Solomon... Child of David." When Solomon heard this, countless memories floaded in his mind.
Looking up, Solomon saw a man(?) bath with golden light, it's holy nature made him feel warm, Solomon knew him, he was the very first reason to have omnipotent and omniscience and the authority of the 72 Demon Gods.
"Father..." Solomon said quietly as he gazed to God.
"Solomon, Child of David. What thee doing here?" God asked a question.
"Heavenly Father, it was nice of seeing you." Solomon bow down before God, yet God did not stop nor ask why.
"Heavenly Father, you may already know the answer, why do you need to ask a question." God hummed softly and replied,
"Solomon, Child of David. I meyth hath know everything, but I too wish to hear it from you. Thee shan't worried about thy cause, I never blamed thee." Solomon who still kneeling, replied,
"Heavenly Father, I've caused an irresponsible actions and I paid my life to fix it." God hummed and said,
"Solomon, thee shall got up and hath together me." God then walk at the boundless light, Solomon following him around.
"Does thee though thy not Worthy of omnipotent and omniscience?" God asked softly as the dove landed it's shoulder.
"I... Heavenly Father, why does give me omnipotent and omniscience, when I only asked for wisdom..." God turn his head and look at Solomon,
"Why? Does thee not solved this question?" Solomon shook his head and said,
"I wish to hear it from you, Heavenly Father."
God hum and continued his stroll.
"I see. Then, I bestow you this power to become my vessel at my creation, I hold no grand purpose for you to wield this power, Solomon." Solomon look confused and said,
"Heavenly Father, I don't understand..." God simply said,
"Solomon, does thee want a new life?" Solomon widen his eyes and stop moving.
"Heavenly Father... I... Am not worthy to have a luxury to be birthed my your own miracles... I failed you..." But God simply shook his head and said,
"Why does thee think thy failed? Thy are not a failures, you proud me Solomon, I witness your achievements and it's was good."
"I... Thank you for your praise, Heavenly Father." God hummed again.
"Solomon, I will be giving you a second chances. Thee saw a doubt in your heart, clouded by confusion at your works. Thee wish thy become a human, not a vessel of me but a human to experience emotions and many things. I'll allow it, Child of David, behold, thy wish will be granted and I'm sorry for the burden I gave to you, Solomon, my child. The omnipotence and omniscience will still be with you. Live thy self to the fullest, when the time hath come, you may follow me and rest at heaven." With that said, God gave a powerful slap at the space, turning the reality into a vortex, the time twisted, the space crack and the voice of roaring sound behind the crack appeared.
"My lord!" Solomon was about to continue when God said gently,
"Go, my child. Enjoy yourself, sins yourself, be what you want, I'll allow it. May you find a beautiful ending befitting for you." With that said, Solomon was plung at the crack of the reality.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Snow, white, cold. Solomon sighs as he glances at his surrounding. He couldn't help but think, Heavenly Father, what am I supposed to do? I'm so confused!! ( ≧Д≦).
With that said, Solomon using his magic [Denial of Nothingness], he created a branch and used it as a hiking stick.
Man... It's really frozen here, just like in Chaldea. Solomon thought to himself and continued walking, for who knows where.
As far as he knows, he only followed the trail of smoke, this is probably Heavenly Father's plan.
Oh well, gotta follow that smoke then.
After minutes of walking, don't ask why not fly, I mean why would I fly? I don't want anyone exposing the mystic side or worse becoming enemy of the world.
With that said, Solomon finally arrive at the trail of smoke and found a village. He thought to himself, lucky~ hopefully they have vanilla strawberry cake.
Solomon about to step forward when a sound of step through snow behind him.
Looking back, he saw a child, probably 12-13 years old, her purple hair and golden eyes.
The child stare at him before hiding behind the tree. Solomon smile as he took a step closer to her.
"Child, what are you doing here all alone?" Solomon crouch down at her level.
"Umh... I... I'm looking herb for my mom..." The girl silently said.
"Herb? Is your mother sick?" Solomon asked and the girl nodded quickly.
"I see. How about you take me at your mom? I'm a doctor after all." The girl excited got out of her hiding.
"Really?!" Solomon nodded as the girl run at his side
Raising her hand, she closed all her fingers except for the pinky one and said,
"Pink promise me."
"Pinky promise? Eh okay?" Solomon agreed as he lock his pinky finger at the girl's pinky.
"Pink promise that you'll cure my mom! If you break my promise then... Then... Uhm... You will have lot of nightmares!" Seeing the girl's attempt to scare him, Solomon can't help but laugh slightly.
"Well, I guess I have to keep my promise then." The girl nodded Victoriously at Solomon's reply.
"Mr... Uhm... What's your name?" The girl asked quietly and look at him.
"Me? I'm Solomon, how about you little girl, what's your name?" Solomon ask her.
"Me? I'm ☆Sirin☆, Mr. Solomon!" Sirin said excitedly, she grab Solomon's hand and started dragging him towards her house.
As they continue walking, the two talk to each other. The sound of the snow getting step on, the cold breeze and the excited Sirin who keeps talking about her mother's cure.
"Sirin, what do you want to become when you grow up?" Solomon asked a sudden question that made Sirin gave a thoughtful look,
"Hmm... Sirin wants to become Homu Hero!" Homu knight? Solomon raised his eyebrow and said,
"Homu Hero? What's that?" Sirin look at Solomon and question mark and said,
"Mr. Solomon don't know Homu Hero? Then, Sirin will tell you a great story of Homu Hero! Homu Hero is a Hero who saved the world by defeating evil monster and demon king!" Solomon sweat a little as Sirin vague description.
"Uhm... I see? That must be nice then." Sirin nodded and continued to drag him at her house.
After minutes of walking, they finally arrive at the small wooden cabin.
"I see, this must be Sirin's house. It's nice house, Sirin." Solomon said gently as he pat Sirin's head which made Sirin leaned in.
"Hm! Let's go!" Sirin ran towards her house, opening the door and said excitedly,
"Mom! Mom! I found a doctor!" Solomon followed Sirin inside and saw a thin woman laying at the bed, her noticeable eye bags, dark pink hair.
The woman eyes open as she sat up and look at them warmly.
"Sirin... Welcome back." The woman greeted Sirin warmly, and Sirin in response dives into her arms.
"Good day, Mrs." Solomon greeted as he walk closer at her.
"Hm. Good day, Mr...?"
"Solomon, Mrs." Solomon replied to her.
"Mr. Solomon, hm. I'm sorry if my child is causing you trouble." The woman look at Sirin who still hugging her, she pat Sirin's head.
"It's fine, Sirin never cause me trouble at all."
Solomon shame his head and said gently,
"Mrs, I heard from Sirin that you're sick and I came to offer my help."
The woman nod and as she couch slightly,
"Hm. Yes, Mr. Solomon, I'm really thankful for your kindness." She smiled at him, and continued looking at Sirin.
"Mrs, where is your kitchen? I can make medicine right now, the sooner the better." The woman turn her gaze back at Solomon and said,
"Turn right, Mr. Solomon and thank you for your help again." Solomon nod and walk towards the kitchen.
Arriving at the kitchen, Solomon thought
Should I create medicine using [Denial of Nothingness]? Or... Simply healed her using magecraft- no, I can't let them show the mystic side of world. I guess I gotta pick the latter then.
Coughing, weak body, noticeable eye bags, and fever... It's Pneumonia. Yep, Azithromycin should be sufficient for medicine for her.
With that said, Solomon created "Azithromycin" using [Denial of Nothingness], after that he made his way back to them.
"Here Mrs, take this." Solomon gave the medicine at Sirin's mother.
"This... What is this Mr. Solomon?" Sirin mother ask as she examine the medicine.
"It's Azithromycin, it's for your pneumonia. Drink it." With that said, she nodded and swallowed the medicine.
"Thank you, Mr. Solomon." Solomon nod and smiled gently at her.
