Everyone was similar to Lin Qi. Even Artemis and Orion, who were "playing" nearby, paused and watched everything in silence.
The two of them were the last to join the team, not even a day old, so they were naturally the least qualified to make this decision.
Looking at the silent crowd, Yurielle was in a good mood.
Perhaps she had this premonition ever since she learned about her importance from Lin Qi.
So when it really came to this, she felt relieved.
"Then come on, since there is the most suitable method, why not do it?"
Euryale looked at Asterios, Lin Qi Asterios and Drake with gentle eyes, with her hands open, as if waiting for the execution to come.

Chapter 65: The Final Battle at the Third Singularity (I)
How to decide?
Lin Qi subconsciously looked around, wanting to see other people's opinions.
If this was a time when Lin Qi needed to fight for his life, then Lin Qi might not hesitate, but this was a matter for everyone, even Euryale herself...
'No, I don't like that!'
As soon as he raised his eyes, Lin Qi rejected this decision in his heart. The confusion in his eyes was swept away, leaving only a clear determination.
Why do we have to sacrifice innocent people just to capture a singularity and save a broken world? Why?
Yes, even if Yurielle is killed here, it does not mean that the real Yurielle disappears. What is killed is just a clone.
This is the optimal solution in every sense.
But is the optimal solution necessarily correct?
Lin Qi could accept failure due to his own powerlessness, but he absolutely could not accept attacking a trustworthy partner because of such a trivial matter.
This hurdle in his heart was something Lin Qi could not ignore no matter what.
It was like a game with multiple endings that Lin Qi had played before. After making every decision carefully, Lin Qi got an ending that satisfied him.
But just when Lin Qi was full of fighting spirit and was about to get another ending, he hesitated when he heard the voice of the heroine who was hesitant but still supported his decision.
Why do I force myself to get that not-so-happy ending even though I don’t like it myself?
At that time, Lin Qi asked himself, then smiled with relief and gave up the idea of a complete ending.
Maybe he is the kind of person who will choose to play the same ending no matter how many times?
Besides——
'Why do you think I'm trying so hard to protect everyone?
I just hate the feeling of losing, that's why I'm trying so hard!'
So even if everyone agrees with Yurielle's decision, I will definitely not agree -
"I don't want Ellie to die. I will protect Ellie!"
In Euryale's surprised eyes, Asterios suddenly stood up, protected her with his big hands, and looked at everyone stubbornly.
Lin Qi made the decision quickly enough, but he was still a step slower than Asterios, a simple-minded man.
As mentioned earlier, Asterios is kind to others as long as they are kind to him.
After realizing what Yurielle was going to do, he was so naive that he stood directly in front of Yurielle without even thinking.
Seeing Asterios step forward first, Lin Qi smiled, a very relaxed smile.
Sentences I've heard before also come to mind.
"When you have the opportunity to make a decision, don't let yourself regret it..."
Lin Qi read out the sentence in his mind softly, then raised his head and looked at Yurielle.
"If I just listen to the goddess and let her leave us alone, I will definitely regret it."
"So, I will disobey the decision of the goddess!"
"——Since we've come this far, you should accompany us the rest of the way, right, goddess?"
Hearing Lin Qi's words, the pirates' blood boiled and they shouted:
"Well said! I will also disobey the decision of the goddess!"
"I also……"
"+1!"
Well, it seems that I was just being too sentimental...
After finally making a decision, Lin Qi and Xiao Niu refuted it on the spot, and a bunch of people booed her. Yurielle couldn't help but blush.
It is both the shame of being directly opposed and the shyness of being cared for.
However, the red color only lasted for a short while on Yurielle's face, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't even notice that her face was red.
"It's fine that you disobeyed the goddess's order, but you actually dared to ask me, a goddess, to accompany you... How greedy and bold you are, my Master."
Maintaining her composure, Yurielle returned to her previous slightly arrogant look.
"But no matter what you say, my power will only hinder you, so do you want to regret it now?"
"This is your last chance. Even if you beg me, I won't change my mind."
Yurielle spoke in a frivolous tone and looked at Lin Qi with a smile.
Lin Qi naturally had no intention of changing his decision.
He just looked back at the pirates and then said with a smile:
"Of course, we are pirates now. Isn't the treasure we have in our hands also a burden in a sense?"
"What's the point of being a pirate if you can't even protect your own treasure?"
Upon hearing this, Drake, who was standing nearby, excitedly hugged Lin Qi.
"Well said! I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable, Xiaolin! Could it be that you were born to be a pirate?"
Drake made a bold guess.
"Maybe? What do you think, Big Sister?"
Lin Qi blinked.
"Emmm, although you performed very well on the ship, you just can't let go. If you can change this, you will be a very qualified pirate!"
Drake pondered for a moment and said with a smile.
After laughing for a while, there was suddenly silence around me.
The smile on Drake's face slowly disappeared. He looked up and realized that everyone present was looking at him.
"Um, you don't want me to express my opinion anymore, do you?"
Drake pointed at himself, his face full of surprise.
"I had to work hard to invite Eury and Ellie to board the ship. No matter how bad I am, I wouldn't allow my crew members to do such a ridiculous thing, right?"
Drake spread his hands.
All I can say is that the people who were able to make decisions present were not the type to easily abandon their companions, so Yurielle's move was unnecessary from the very beginning.
"You actually compare the goddess to your own treasure. How bold of you, Master."
"But never mind. Remember to protect me like your most precious treasure."
Having said that, it would be hypocritical for Euryale to delay any further.
"Yeah, I'll protect you, Ellie."
Asterios said with a determined look.
Even if he dies, he will stand in front of Yurielle!
After being mentally prepared.
Lin Qi, Drake, Maverick, Euryale, Orion and Artemis jumped onto the shore one after another.
The pirates waited until they came ashore and then drove their boats away from the shore to avoid becoming a loophole or being affected by the battle.
On the other side of the island, there was a dazzling flash of magical light and a rain of arrows fell from the sky.
Obviously, the final battlefield is over there.
Without hesitation, everyone rushed over there.
"By the way, isn't Artemis also a goddess? Was she okay when she touched that Ark of the Covenant?"
Drake couldn't help but ask the question he had always wanted to ask.
"Hey, although I am indeed Artemis, my true identity is actually Orion~"
"It doesn't even have the basic [divinity] of a god!"
Artemis said with pride.
What are you proud of?!
Orion slapped himself in the face with a claw.

Chapter 66: The Final Battle at the Third Singularity (Part 2)
"I'm losing the fight..."
David and Atalanta looked at Hercules who was wreaking havoc in front of them with serious eyes.
The two of them tried their best, but they had only killed two of Hercules' lives so far, and there were still ten lives waiting for them.
Then they sadly discovered that their attacks no longer worked on Hercules.
No matter whether it is a Noble Phantasm or any other attack, it has no effect on Hercules.
Even David's treasure is the same.
In the early stage, he could use [Five Stones] to knock Hercules out, and he even controlled Hercules for more than a minute for the first time.
But even though his Noble Phantasm was not powerful enough to kill Hercules, Hercules did not trigger the Noble Phantasm's resurrection.
Hercules inevitably developed resistance, and the second hard control time was shortened to about half a minute.
Later, Hercules instinctively saw through David's treasure and smashed the stone thrown by David with the axe in his hand, making the [Five Stones] completely useless.
David had actually anticipated this. After all, what he threw out was just an ordinary stone, which was not as hard as a proper treasure. Once it was seen through, it would be easily broken by the opponent before being hit.
But it is hard to say that this flaw is a real flaw. After all, as long as the opponent does not know David's information in advance, he can basically kill one opponent at first sight.
It’s a pity that the monster he encountered was Hercules, a monster with a stronger mechanism. Not only was he impossible to kill, but he also developed resistance to his treasure. It was simply outrageous.
"■! You actually took advantage of Hercules to hit me while he was unconscious. That's too much!"
Looking at the two archers who were struggling to hold on under the increasingly better situation of Hercules, Jason touched the purple bruises on his face, his face full of resentment.
If you look closely, you can see that there is an arrow stuck in Jason's butt.
The plan to kill Jason first while Hercules is unconscious is certainly the correct one.
After all, Atalanta, who was on the same ship, had intelligence and knew that Hercules was invincible, so there was nothing wrong with picking on Jason first.
But how could they know that Jason was not only slippery, but also carrying the Holy Grail?
When Jason saw Hercules being knocked down by several stones, he immediately came to his senses and ran to the side.
While running, he took out the Holy Grail and summoned several shadow servants to resist the concentrated fire attack of the two archers.
Although Shadow Servants are just degraded versions of Servants, they cannot compete with real Servants.
But Jason summoned so many of them!
