Entry 157:

Linus Ozias POV:

Having the senses of a Kryptonian is interesting in an empty world as I can spread my senses across the world and hear nothing in absolute silence. It's almost creepy to hear absolutely nothing. Even the animals are gone, other than Fou, of course. Speaking of which.

"Fou, I need to stand up. Can you please get down?" The white squirrel dog nods and gets off and then proceeds to climb onto my shoulder as I see Karna outside my lab. "Hello, Karna. May I help you with something?" The warrior then asks, "Would I be able to accompany you to this singularity?"

I smile and say, "Of course, Karna, but may I ask why?" The man simply says, "I wish to see how you operate and hold yourself in a more hostile setting. There is an old saying that you never truly know someone until you see them having to fight someone else as how they engage says more than one thousand words."

I nod, understanding his viewpoint as I mention, "We still have to go through today's summoning before we head into the singularity, but if you wish to accompany us, I will welcome you, as your expertise should serve us very well." The demigod slightly bows as he returns to his astral form to await my summons.

I see Mash and Ritsuka walking towards the summoning room as Mash asks me, "Did you rest well, Ozias Senpai? You did eat a lot of those dumplings yesterday?"

I nod and respond, "I rested it quite well, Mash, and even then, due to my innate biology, I don't even really need to sleep as the very sun empowers me."

Mash then cutely points her finger and says, "That's no good, Senpai. You still need to get your rest even if you don't need it." I chuckle as Ritsuka says, "Mash, why are you not asking how I am doing?" Mash then says, "It's because I know how you were doing because I had to knock you out yesterday because you ate too many sweets."

Ritsuka then gasps and says, "So that's why I feel slight pain in my neck. I should go on a worker's strike and try to get some injury pay."

Mash then responds plainly, "Delusional Master, there is no one left to give you injury pay, and besides, you are getting free housing along with divine cuisine from Ozias Senpai. Think about it: if you were to quit, you would lose it."

I would feel proud of Mash's social development if she wasn't suddenly using her skills to gaslight my friend here. Ritsuka then looks shocked and says while climbing on me, "Oz, that is not true, right?" I simply say, "That depends on you, but for now, let's head to the summoning room."

Ritsuka pouts, and we head into the Fate room. As Mash places her shield, Medusa and Tamamo enter to guard Ritsuka. As I step up the summoning circle, I say the chant as the circle glows in a red demonic light as a figure emerges.

After the smoke clears, we see a woman wearing a Japanese military uniform combined with a red and black dress. As she opens her eyes, she immediately aims her gun at me, to which I simply catch the bullet and disintegrate it like Tatsuya from Irregular of Magic High School.

The woman begins to laugh maniacally as she smiles and continues to fire with multiple bayonets at once, to which I simply catch each and every single bullet, which is seemingly empowered by her Noble Phantasm subtly.

After around 10 minutes of just firing at me, she stops and slams her katana onto the ground as she says rather boisterously, I might add.

"Yes! This is what I expect from my Master! Heed this call. I am Oda Nobunaga, the Demon King Of The Sixth Heaven! Let us dance upon the enemy's corpses who defile our campaign!"
