Chapter 103: Is There Something Wrong with This Doctor?!

Uruk, atop the Ziggurat Temple.

As the terrifying truth of the "Three Goddess Alliance" was unveiled, the entire Chaldea camp fell into an unprecedentedly solemn mood.

On the holographic communication screen, Dr. Roman, far away in the Chaldea Central Control Room, was biting his thumb nail with a distressed expression as he quickly reported the latest detection data.

"The situation is even worse than imagined. Setting aside the Demonic Beast Goddess of the Northern Wall for now, in the southern dense forest, that existence radiating Divine Spirit fluctuations has already turned all city-states within a radius of hundreds of kilometers into primeval forest."

Dr. Roman sighed, scratching his hair somewhat irritably, "With our current combat power, trying to confront three pillar gods simultaneously is simply a pipe dream."

"King Gilgamesh, do you have any countermeasures? We on Chaldea's side can provide all-around magical logistics support..."

However, before Dr. Roman could finish his sentence...

The Wise King Gilgamesh, who had been looking down correcting official documents, suddenly stopped the stylus in his hand.

He slowly raised his head, his ruby-sharp eyes—possessing the 'Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence (Clairvoyance)'—seemed to pierce through the spatial barrier, staring fixedly at Dr. Roman on the other side of the holographic screen.

The temperature inside the great hall suddenly dropped to freezing point at this moment.

"Logistics support?"

Gilgamesh let out a cold laugh, a laugh filled with bone-chilling disdain and contempt.

"Put away your ridiculous disguise, Chaldea's medical lead."

"That submissive look of yours, desperately trying to do something to make up for your mistakes, is simply more comical and more nauseating than a rat in a sewer to these eyes of mine!"

This sudden, vicious verbal abuse left the protagonist group on the scene, as well as PD in the live stream, completely stunned.

"Eh? Why did Gil suddenly start cursing at the doctor?" PD asked, full of question marks.

Dr. Roman on the other side of the screen also froze, managing to squeeze out a strained, ugly smile:

"That... Hero King, what are you talking about? I'm just an ordinary doctor..."

"Shut up! You gutless coward!"

Gilgamesh slammed the table abruptly, the loud bang echoing through the temple.

"You clearly know everything; you clearly possess the power sufficient to change all of this, yet because you were afraid to shoulder the heavy burden that belongs to a 'King', you chose to desert!"

"Now, the calamity born of your weakness that has incinerated the entirety of human history is raging. And you, the culprit, can only hide in that safe iron box, using this fake skin to play this meaningless game of atonement?!"

"Unable to face the mistakes you committed, only able to watch from the sidelines as these mortals bleed and sacrifice themselves in your place..."

In the Wise King's blood-red eyes, there was an extreme loathing, like a sense of disappointment in someone who failed to live up to expectations:

"You coward who flees from responsibility, you don't even have the qualification to breathe in my presence!"

Dead silence.

Not only was it deathly quiet inside the hall, but Dr. Roman on the other side of the holographic screen had also completely lost his usual flippancy and casualness.

His face was pale to the extreme, and his forehead was covered in fine beads of cold sweat.

Faced with Gilgamesh's heart-piercing judgment—which could even be said to have stripped him naked and nailed him to a pillar of shame—Dr. Roman's lips trembled violently, yet he couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.

He just lowered his head in pain, falling into a long, suffocating silence.

"Beep—"

The communication was crudely and unilaterally cut off by Gilgamesh.

A strange silence fell over the hall.

"Is the doctor... okay?"

Mash looked worriedly at the now-black communication terminal, her delicate brows slightly furrowed. "Usually, if he were scolded so harshly, the doctor would definitely talk back loudly or make some aggrieved defense. But just now, he..."
