While Lin Qi was speaking, the Command Seal on his chest lit up several times, as a verification of his identity.
After a stalemate of one or two seconds, the atmosphere gradually eased.
It's the [Fire of the Heart] that's taking effect.
Through the connection of minds, the servants have already had a general understanding of Lin Qi, and they clearly know that the other party is not lying.
Karna and Helena breathed a sigh of relief and put down their weapons that were aimed at Lin Qi.
At Edison's manual signal, the robot soldiers put down their guns.
"Ahem, I won't ask you how you suddenly appeared here... Aren't you joining my team? I'm the President King!"
Edison came back to his senses and coughed twice, and couldn't help but emphasize.
"You are with Geronimo and the others, right? Help me beat up this Lionhead. A beating will definitely help him get better!"
Without waiting for Lin Qi's response, Nightingale spoke to Lin Qi with shining eyes.
As he spoke, he pointed at Edison's face.
Edison: "..."
Looking at this "lion-like" Nightingale, Edison was very upset.
Lin Qi calmed Nightingale, who was itching to do something, and said:
"...In fact, if Mr. Edison's idea could be changed from using the power of the Holy Grail to isolate the America of this era from the world to retrieving the Holy Grail and then leaving the world in peace, I would be happy to join your team."
"Impossible! My patriotism is burning brightly. Building a permanent America is my lifelong wish!"
Edison waved his hand and refused decisively.
Faced with Edison's decisiveness, Karna and Helena on the side didn't even have time to interrupt.
They could only silently clench their weapons.
"That's why I said you should join my team..."
Lin Qi was helpless.
"The talks have failed, do we need to take action?"
As expected, Nightingale was eager to try.
Although the conversation lasted only a sentence or two, it was indeed a breakdown.
Lin Qi didn't think that she, who was not good at speaking, could say anything nice to wake someone up from their dream.
and so……
"certainly--"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Qi's figure disappeared instantly.
The next moment.
"Om-!"
"Qiang!"
Two voices sounded almost at the same time.
Under the humming and trembling of the Immortal Blade, Helena, who had just opened the magic book, felt cold sweat running down her temples. She slowly raised her hands and gave a French military salute.
Behind Lin Qi, Karna's spear of light burning with divine fire was blocked by the faint golden light in a sweeping posture.
Karna was silent.
The mechanical soldiers were at a loss and had no idea what was going on. They could only look at each other and choose to remain in place.
"Ms. Helena, you are out of the game. Could you please stop doing that?"
Lin Qi looked at Helena and said seriously.
"no problem!"
Helena gently blocked the Undying Blade that was about to touch her face and spoke decisively.
Then he quickly walked up to Nightingale and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, she almost thought she would be killed by a sword!
"..."
Seeing this, Karna silently retracted his spear, as if he had given up the idea of continuing the attack.
Edison, who was watching from the side, looked at the two of them in disbelief.
"Why are you two--are you both betraying me?!"
Edison roared in grief.
"Well, it's not betrayal, it's just that this fight is meaningless, Edison."
Karna sighed and said helplessly.
"How can it be meaningless? You are Karna! A mere Master should not be your opponent!"
"I wonder if you have noticed that the temperature here has risen a lot?"
Karna did not answer but asked a seemingly insignificant question.
The mechanical soldiers looked at each other again. They were all ordinary people, just wrapped in mechas, and now they were already showing signs of sweating.
"What's wrong? Isn't it your fire that caused it?"
Edison was puzzled. It was normal for the temperature in a space like this to rise once Karna took action.
"Take a closer look."
Although Edison was still confused after hearing this, he still obediently looked around carefully.
Only then did he realize that faint runes were floating everywhere in the palace.
"This……"
Edison opened his mouth.
"If I were to fight this Master with all my strength, everyone here would die except me... I might even die at his hands in the end."
Seeing that Edison had discovered the problem, Karna spoke up to explain.
……

Chapter 108 Treatment Plan.
"How can you use runes like this? This is outrageous..."
Helena secretly clicked her tongue as she observed the large number of runes that appeared in what seemed like seconds.
Although she was basically a versatile magician and knew almost all types of magic, including runes and even baptismal chants, she had never heard of anyone using runes as quickly and wantonly as Lin Qi.
If the two sides were opponents who could not be reconciled, even if she put all her efforts into building her own magic workshop and then chose to fight Lin Qi alone in the workshop, she could at most block Lin Qi's ability to use runes on a large scale - and then she would be hacked to death.
There is no way, the speed difference is too big. She performs one magic trick, and Lin Qi performs two, three, or four. Who can she complain to?
Even without talking about the speed of attack, in Helena's opinion, Lin Qi's method of using runes would be difficult to analyze and replicate even for gods.
but!
Fortunately, Helena had no intention of becoming an enemy of Lin Qi from the moment they met. On the contrary, the stronger Lin Qi became, the happier she was.
and so--
Helena: (￣︶￣)
She just regretted that she didn't have any snacks, such as popcorn, otherwise the show would have been more interesting.
Unlike Helena who automatically took her seat in the audience, Edison was speechless after hearing Karna's explanation.
After holding it in for a long time, Lin Qi saw that the atmosphere was calm and he was ready to attack. Edison finally uttered two words:
"He doesn't look very old, and he's not a Servant, how could he be stronger than you, Karna?"
It was normal for Edison to have such doubts, because Karna himself had a complicated background.
Karna, the son of Surya, the sun god in the Indian mythology "Mahabharata", is a hero of charity and is Arjuna's greatest opponent. According to the records in the legend, if Arjuna was not so honest and more people were on his side, he would not have been able to defeat Karna.
After Karna appeared in this world, in addition to possessing the most powerful destructive Noble Phantasm [Sun, Submit to Death (EX)], he also possessed a golden armor called [Sun, Transform into Armor (A)], which can forcibly reduce the opponent's attack to one tenth and repair his own injuries.
In other words, as long as the attack is not aimed at the vital points and has insufficient attack power, Karna can completely ignore it. He is a servant of the same type as Siegfried. He once fought with Siegfried from night to day, but the battle was still undecided.
"I also have many doubts about this, but if I want to explain it more clearly..."
Karna said, turning to look at Lin Qi who was standing next to him and had no intention of taking any further action:
"Master, you have an extremely powerful spiritual base in your body. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the power of Rama, right?"
Karna had never seen Rama, but he could see the source of Lin Qi's power. Combined with the few words he had heard from Nightingale, the original owner of the spiritual base became very clear.
Lin Qi nodded.
After getting the affirmation, Karna looked at Edison with a calm gaze, as if to say "Do you understand?"
Although Karna didn't know how Lin Qi had such a ghostly super speed and such an all-round defense that could easily block his shot with the divine fire attached.
But it does not prevent Karna from evaluating that Lin Qi, who has obtained the power of Rama, is now a "high-speed phantom large-scale destructive fortress."
"Rama...? Is he the protagonist of the Ramayana?"
Very good, after hearing the name Rama, Edison already understood everything - although the overall idea was slightly biased, he would no longer deny Lin Qi's strength.
After getting everyone's affirmation, Edison's eyes twitched and he was silent for a few seconds. He was determined and roared through gritted teeth:
"Even so, my patriotic heart will not stop beating! As long as I find the opportunity, I will definitely fulfill my wish of building an eternal America!"
"It's impossible to join you!"
Even though his teammates have turned against him, Edison is unwilling to surrender!
however……
While saying these words, Edison kept looking at Helena and Karna with pitiful eyes, trying to pull the two back to his team.
Helena turned her back to Edison and looked up at the sky.
Karna, who was honest but also upright, looked at Nightingale beside him seriously:
"Ms. Nightingale, Edison is possessed by a ghost. I hope you can come up with a treatment plan that won't harm his life and give him treatment."
Hearing this, Edison was petrified.
Karna might have said it a little bluntly, but he was truly doing it for Edison's own good.
Edison appeared in the world in a state of being possessed by the ghosts of successive American presidents. Although he may have some corresponding reinforcements, he has become an extreme president who drives the entire national movement with his own will, and a big capitalist who is more capitalist than capitalists. Otherwise, there would not be the abstract title of President King.
Karna and Helena originally wanted to give Edison more time to let him discover the problem himself and let his own consciousness take the real dominant position.
But now it seems that perhaps it would be a good idea to let Nightingale solve it.
Hearing Karna's words, Nightingale smiled brightly:
"Of course, for patients like this, I have a very mature treatment plan, including but not limited to breaking his limbs."
"But don't worry, this minor injury is not difficult for me to treat. I believe that after a few courses of treatment, Mr. Edison will regain consciousness."
As she spoke, Nightingale did a set of warm-up exercises on the spot.
Karna looked away: "...Just don't go too far."
Helena: "Ahahaha, even though Edison was kind to me when he was alive, I would be happy to see him return to normal."
A set of warm-up exercises is completed.
Nightingale walked slowly towards the weak, pitiful and helpless Edison with firm steps.
"You, don't come over!!!"
Edison was horrified and wanted to escape, but was instantly held down by Lin Qi and Karna. He could only watch Nightingale approach step by step.
"——At least a few fewer treatment sessions should be given!"
Edison had no choice but to wail to the sky.
