Ugh, I'm still dizzy... [k] ?1:...Are you okay? ?! [charaFace B 12] @Sétanta Kinda wishing you'd stopped her! [k] ?1:I'm sorry... It all happened so fast. ?2:My bad. I kind of got swept up in the moment. ?! [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 1] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Locusta Now then, my name is Locusta, and I'm an Assassin! Back when I was alive, I used to serve Nero as a poison maker! [k] ?1:A poison maker...for Nero? ?2:You did? Really? ?! [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Draco Does that not fit with the Nero Claudius you know? Believe it or not, it is the truth. Courts and conspiracies do go hand in hand. [k] [charaFace A 2] @Draco Indeed, I had countless numbers of political rivals assassinated. [k] @Draco An emperor's life may seem peaceful, but in truth, it is positively dripping with blood and poison. [k] [charaFace A 1] @Draco Locusta here served me very well in that regard. I can think of none better suited to represent the poisoner. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 21] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Locusta Eee! I can't believe she praised me... You're far too kind, Lady Nero! [k] [charaFace C 3] @Locusta Anyway, as long as you're Lady Nero's Master, I'll be glad to serve you faithfully, too!

[k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 2] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Draco Oh, that? It is because I am fond of them. Mushrooms are the food of the gods, after all. [k] [charaFace A 1] @Draco Although, it seems my stepfather[line 2]that is, my predecessor, Emperor Claudius, did not care for them. Hehe.

[k] [charaFace E 4] @E:Sétanta=spot[E,F] You said you wanna get back to your true Beast body, right? How exactly are you planning to do that?

[k] @F:Draco=spot[E,F] We are going to traverse this Spiral Proof World[line 2]that is, the seven imitation Singularities layered in a spiral pattern, and reclaim my Incarnadine Demonic Beasts from them. [k] [charaFace E 8] [messageOff] [charaFadeout F 0.4] [charaFadeout G 0.4] [wt 0.4] @E:Sétanta=spot[E,F] Incarnadine Demonic Beasts? But haven't you been commanding those in battle? [k] ?1:Apparently, they're just surface level. ?2:She says they're only skin-deep. ?! [messageOff] [charaFadein F 0.4] [charaFadein G 0.4] [wt 0.4] @F:Draco The Incarnadine Demonic Beasts I use presently are no more than empty shells. [k] @F:Draco My true Incarnadine Demonic Beasts were sealed within the seven imitation Singularities after I abducted you. [k] [charaFace F 1] @F:Draco I am Sodom's Beast, the seven-headed, ten-horned creature described in the Book of Revelation. The Incarnadine Demonic Beasts are my own heads. [k] @F:Draco So, if I am to once more become Sodom's Beast, I must first free my Incarnadine Demonic Beasts from captivity. [k] ?1:So who sealed the Incarnadine Demonic Beasts away? ?2:Who sealed them away in the first place? ?! [charaFace F 0] @F:Draco The Heroic Spirits summoned here to hunt me, of course. And I do not mean the sort of empty shadows we have been seeing thus far. [k] @F:Draco Those protecting the Incarnadine Demonic Beasts' seals are genuine Servants who rule each floor of this spiral[line 2]that is, their respective imitation Singularities. [k] @F:Draco=spot[E,F] Yes... Perhaps we should call them “Floor Guardians.” [k] [charaFace E 8] [messageOff] [charaFadeout F 0.4] [charaFadeout G 0.4] [wt 0.4] @E:Sétanta=spot[E,F] So you want us to beat these Servants up and free your Incarnadine Demonic Beasts, huh? I really don't like this plan...but I'm not seeing much choice. [k] [messageOff] [charaFadein F 0.4] [charaFadein G 0.4] [wt 0.4] @F:Draco The ladder is currently taking us towards the seventh imitation Singularity. [k] @F:Draco So for you, [%1], this will mean traveling between the seven Singularities in reverse order. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_77 1.5] ?1:So we're starting with the Seventh Singularity... ?2:So I'm gonna have to repeat that battle in Babylonia... ?! [bgm BGM_EVENT_48 0.1] [charaFace F 3] @F:Draco The seventh imitation Singularity is not like the one you know. For one thing, the Servants would never give other Beasts a chance to manifest in them. [k] [charaFace F 0] @F:Draco No, the seventh imitation Singularity is the Golden City of Babylon, a marvel of a civilization that reached heights of grandeur unattainable in human history. [k] @F:Draco So its Floor Guardian must be the king of Babylon[line 2]Nebuchadnezzar II. [k] ?1:Nebuchadnezzar II? @F:Draco Yes, the king of Babylon during 7th century B.C. This means he would not ordinarily exist in the Seventh Singularity, which took place in 27th century B.C. [k] ?2:As in, the Babylonian captivity? [charaFace F 2] @F:Draco So you are somewhat familiar with him. Indeed, he ruled over Babylon around 7th century B.C. [k] @F:Draco This means he would not ordinarily exist in the Seventh Singularity, which took place in 27th century B.C. [k] ?! [charaFace F 0] @F:Draco As such, Nebuchadnezzar II's soul has been transplanted into a clone of Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes. [k] [charaFace F 1] @F:Draco That is the true identity of Nebuchadnezzar II, the super Babylonian Urukian. [k] @F:Draco He is also the husband of Monster Queen Draco[line 2]that is, myself. [k] ?1:Super...Babylonian? [charaFace F 2] @F:Draco Part of my production, of course, since I cultivated the Babylon Singularity myself. [k] ?2:Did I hear you say “husband”!? [charaFace F 0] @F:Draco Well, it was something of a sham marriage, as I cultivated the Seventh Singularity myself. [k] ?! [charaFace F 0] @F:Draco At any rate, thanks to Nebuchadnezzar II, Babylon grew into a golden city whose desires knew no bounds. [k] [charaFace F 8] @F:Draco You should look forward to it, for this city is a fruit truly worthy of a place on my dining table. [k] @F:Draco I daresay you will get few other chances to witness a city flourishing at its zenith[line 2]a pinnacle of artistry the like of which has only been seen five times in all of human history. [k] [branchQuestNotClear lblNotClear2 3000628] ?1:A city flourishing at its zenith... [charaFace F 0] @F:Draco Indeed. What manner of metropolis could better suit Sodom's Beast, the City Eater? [k] ?2:I don't know. Olympus was pretty amazing, too. [charaFace F 3] @F:Draco You mean one of those Lostbelts? What a joke. You cannot even compare them. [k] [charaFace F 0] @F:Draco A city built by the gods, hm? I see... I am sure it was beautiful, especially with a goddess like Venus overseeing its construction. [k] [charaFace F 3] @F:Draco But no matter what heights of glory it achieved, it was still no more than the gods' toy[line 2]a divine attempt at playing house. [k] @F:Draco It is the desires of those humans inhabiting a city which shape its true essence. [k] @F:Draco A city without desires[line 2]without a soul[line 2]is as hollow as an empty cave. [k] ?! [branch lblConf2] [label lblNotClear2] ?1:A city flourishing at its zenith... [charaFace F 0] @F:Draco Indeed. What manner of metropolis could better suit Sodom's Beast, the City Eater? [k] ?! [label lblConf2] [charaFace F 2] @F:Draco At any rate, if Nebuchadnezzar II is to stand in our way, I wonder what he will think upon seeing me again? [k] @F:Draco Hateful resentment at having his body and soul toyed with? Chagrin at his failure to become a god? [k] @F:Draco Or, unlikely as it seems, perhaps he will burn with the same righteous indignation as any other Heroic Spirit? [k] [charaFace F 8] @F:Draco Any of these will be fine with me. Seeing how far he has fallen should be amusing, if nothing else.
