After seeing the darkness fading from her Spear of Ouranos and the warm light that followed, Animusfia couldn't help but said to Nero.

"What you say is right, Lucia."

Originally, Animusfia did not want Nero to enter this place.

Not to mention asking her to pick up the spear that she had transformed into the core of Hades.

Even with the "emperor's privileges" brought about by the protection of Rome, Nero could not freely use the spear of Hades that could kill all living things.

But Nero could still lift it.

Ignore the consequences.

Strictly speaking, Animusfia cannot use Pluto magic "at will".

If he hadn't become a pseudo-server with the blessing of Zhou Yu's spiritual foundation, I'm afraid that his current physical condition might not be as good as Masu's, whose upper limit of life span is set at 18 years old.

To this day, the reason why Mash Kyrielight can move normally and even fight is due to the spiritual base of Galahad, the pure knight in her body who found the Holy Grail.

Unlike Animusphia and Mash, Nero is not a pseudo-servant or sub-server.

But similar to Mash and Animusfia, Nero embodies the characteristics of a heroic spirit to a certain extent.

But even then, using the spear of Hades is still a matter of great consequence.

So much so that Animusfia didn't think she had enough time to help Fujimaru Ritsuka complete the remaining five singularities.

Perhaps for Nero, who only had less than ten years left in his reign but was still young and vigorous, her subsequent life span had little to do with the direction of history.

If she had died so young, she might have left behind a better and more stable Roman Empire.

But Animusfia didn't want that to happen.

Although she was made an honorary citizen of Rome by Nero, the rise and fall of Rome was actually not important to Animusphia.

The rise and fall of Nero was the object of his concern.

But when he saw his Spear of Uranus slowly fading away from the darkness of Hades that he had almost spent all his efforts to acquire in Nero's hand, Animusfia could only let it go helplessly and dumbfounded. She raised the spear.

Even as the emperor of Rome————as the beast of 666 that had not yet been formed, what Nero did was too willful.

Facing the emperor with such "privileges", Animusfia could only leave two ridiculing words.

However, although it was said to be a joke, it also contained Animusfia's sincerity and long-standing doubts.

When living in the family of his biological father and his stepfather, Nero Germanicus Claudius had neither the name [Nero] nor the surname [Claudius], nor the name [Claudius]. Germanicus] honor.

It can be said that he is neither "Nero" nor "Germanicus" nor "Claudius".

It was not until his mother Agrippina the Younger married Claudius I, who took over the name of his uncle Caligula Augustus, that Nero received those names that symbolized honor and nobility.

Prior to this, Nero's name passed down in official history was "Lucius".

In a society like Rome, where names have fixed combinations and combinations, duplication of names is a very normal phenomenon.

But as far as Animusfia knew, the full name of Nero’s mentor who was said to have had an affair with little Agrippina and was now in Rome——Seneca That is "LuciusAnnaeusSeneca" (LuciusAnnaeusSeneca).

It is hard not to think deeply about what kind of mentality little Agrippina had in naming her child.

However, after actually meeting Nero, Animusphia began to have doubts about Nero's true name in history, "Lucius", which he knew.

The name "Lucius" comes from the Latin word "lux" for "brilliance".

Later, it was derived into "Lucio" in languages ​​​​that are deeply influenced by Latin, such as Portuguese and Italian.

Another Latin variant of "Lucius", "Lucian", has also become a very common name.

The meaning of their names is "the one who brings light".

However, whether it is "Lucius", "Lucio" or "Lucian", they are all masculine names.

Animusfia also has a hard time imagining a scene where a woman is named Li Kui. There may be one, but it will definitely be weird.

No matter how infatuated she was with her old lover, Agrippina would never give her newborn daughter such a name.

However, Animusfia also knew this other name that could be placed on Nero, a woman, without losing its glorious meaning.

It's not a difficult thing to guess. Roman names are divided into feminine and masculine words like Latin words.

"Lucius" with a strong masculine connotation must have a name with a strong feminine connotation.

"Lucia".

"...Sure enough, you know that name, right?"

Nero complained to Animusfia with a slight blush.

In the past, Nero asked Animusfia many questions.

Not many people have the opportunity to communicate with "future people", and even fewer people can memorize most of what will happen in the future.

Even though Animusfia told Nero from the beginning that she would not be able to preserve the stories she heard after the singularity was repaired, Nero still enjoyed it.

In her words, although it is a pity that it cannot be preserved in the distant future, at least the fun of the present is genuine.

During that time, Nero asked Animusfia if he knew his real name, but received only an ambiguous answer from Animusfia.

Most of her questions about Animusfia also ended in this form.

In the end, all Nero could hear was only what Animusfia wanted to tell her.

It would not be wrong at all to say that he is a complete sycophant.

However, occasionally, Nero's questions to Animusfia were answered seriously.

"How did the Governor do those [miracles]? It's not about magic. The previous palace magician Yu also saw his level. Although he was able to do some incredible things, he was not as exaggerated as the Governor. What you did is as if you really received help from the gods——————”

"Maybe that's the case, but I still have to tell you unfortunately, I don't -"

"You don't believe in any gods."

Nero, who was sitting on Animusfia's legs, stretched out his slender fingers to block his mouth.

"Hmm, I've known this for a long time, you're an atheist. But it's true that you used the power of the gods. So how did you do it?"

Animusfia frowned slightly, organized her words for a long time, and then slowly gave her answer:

"If I start from the beginning with Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will take me several months to fully explain it. I'll just tell you the results directly. Through [my] [observation], the world may take on a different look."

"Can you change reality just by looking at it? You are really amazing."

"No."

Animusfia shook her head.

"Most humans have this ability, I just stand out a little bit."

"Huh? Is that so? Can everyone do what you do?"

“Then it depends on your talent——————But your Majesty, your [Emperor’s Privilege], isn’t it similar to mine to some extent?”

Through the collective recognition of every "Roman" who lived in Rome's two thousand years of history, Nero had the "privilege" that allowed him to learn to paint in an instant, even though he could not paint at all a second ago.
