So, next Singularity it is!

Yup, next Singularity is upon us... Can't believe we are here already!
Anyway, we've got 6 Servants to go. Time to vote - 5 days from now on, 6 most voted Servants fo to the next singularity. Also, you know, that Patreon votes got a limit, on how many options they have? So... Yeah, gotta work around that.
And yeah, remember, other voters here too.

Interlude: Sita (185)

What was the first thing any Servant who entered the service of Ainz had to do?

From Sita's point of view, the right thing to do was to find out exactly where, for what purpose, and under whose command she was supposed to be in.

And there was no better way to do this than to find out the answers to these questions from other Servants.

Of course, the right, and easiest way to accomplish her goals, was to simply ask her Master about her future mission – but that didn’t mea...

So it is done: Promises and Decisions

“We’ve arrived, sir." The voice coming from the speaker made Ghira nod involuntarily, an unnecessary act considering the fact that the speaker couldn't see him.

He had barely gotten comfortable in his room, before it had ended, not that he could get too comfortable, though. His own quarters were more luxurious than Ghira himself would have preferred – Ghira didn't understand the point of allocating him a full quarters on the airship at all…

However, politics required him t...

Interlude: Arthuria and Mordred

As a worthy knight should, Mordred could withstand the most incredible horrors and overcome any obstacles in his path.

Battles, hunger, fatigue, lack of sleep, cold and heat, are all things that a knight, a proper one at least, should have no trouble with. Once, Mordred's skull was split open, and even then he still held on for nearly twelve hours of desperate galloping to Camelot itself to report the result of the battle. All without removing his helmet, not only to keep his true ident...

So it is done: Atlas and Mantle

‘There’s no need to worry, darling.’ Lisa Lavender, the reporter with the staggering two-month experience in the VNN under her belt, Vale's main and only fully government-owned news company, tried to reassure herself.

‘You're just going to interview the most powerful personalities in the world in the middle of an actual war zone! Nothing to worry about! You’re just going to interview them about the biggest political and diplomatic crisis that has plagued Remnant since the Faun...

Interlude: Karna (183)

Most of the Servants in the Throne of Heroes are selfish in one way or another.

There was, after all, nothing wrong with a little selfishness in itself, the ability to follow one's own beliefs and for one's own sake, to achieve one's own goals, was a positive trait rather than a negative one. A certain amount of willpower and perseverance were required of anyone to become a hero, someone who might one day become a Servant.

From this point of view, most Servants of the Throne of He...

So it is done

General James Ironwood did not like to act in a hurry. In fact, no one liked it, especially in the army – exceptionally so for those in senior positions – and anathema when it came to saving lives. Haste in such an important and sensitive matters led to casualties, to waste, to problems and to mishaps.

But, for all his dislike of it, James Ironwood knew how to act in haste, because for all its disadvantages, it is much preferred than being late. Being too hasty in a rescue might lea...

Interlude: One Fae-Queen (182)

In YGGDRASIL, there were many bosses – perhaps even more than the simple mobs.

Mobs, after all, were usually not opponents in the full sense of the word, but simply a source of resources, an additional danger, and sometimes just some irritant to players – especially for those who’ve reached the maximum level.

Killing mobs is called farming, after all.

Bosses, on the other hand, were in a completely different category. When Players finally got to the coveted level 100 â...

So it is done: Among the battlefield

Having a clear head in battle was essential, in fact it’s the only thing keeping you from just dropping dead. If you don't know what your opponent will do in battle, you are essentially defenceless, and if you don't know what you are going to do with your next move, you will do nothing but die.

If you don't know how you plan to reach your goal, you've already lost.

Interlude: Two Warrior-Queens (181)

Luckily for Ainz he managed to return to his room without once again encountering any urgent problem. Or rather, knowing his own luck, it wasn’t because of it at all – maybe there were some invisible laws, according to which there was a maximum concentration of events that could be distributed according to Ainz's schedule. Even Mashu had left his chambers, and for a time, Ainz wasn't even prepared to speculate on its duration, he was actually alone.

Just in case, though, having clos...

So it is done: Almost almighty wizard

Jonathan didn't want to interrupt a meeting between estranged old friends, one who hadn't seen each other for years. But, unfortunately for the aforementioned acquaintances, they were currently involved in devising a plan to destroy a huge horde of Grimm. So, when there was an awkward pause in the air between Summer and Raven's confrontation – Jonathan had to get their attention. And perhaps Qrow was just trying to make it obvious how busy he was right now studying the map spread out on the...

Interlude: Double Nero (180)

Normally – as far as summoning a ghost could be normal at all – the summoned Servants had no connection with each other. Even the possibility that the Servants would come from the same origin, or even from the same time period, was quite slim. So, what are the chances that two summoned Servants would come from the same legendary personality, being a reflection of different traits of their personality?

The probability of such a thing happening was not just astronomically small – it...

Sometimes it can be difficult for a person to agree with another person’s opinion – sometimes it can be difficult to disagree with another – sometimes it can be difficult to even agree with oneself.

And yet, it can be especially difficult to disagree with oneself.

No, I will not.

Jonathan's words, spoken inside his mind, were as if they had fallen off a high cliff, crashing down into the sea – and in its descent, immediately, dozens, hundreds of wave...

Interlude: Immortal (179)

What was better for Ainz?

On one side was Medb, the same Medb from YGGDRASIL. The girl is hated by almost all YGGDRASIL players. Human, demi-human, heteromorphic, players with negative, positive, and even neutral karma hated her. The same Medb who, during YGGDRASIL's heyday, was the source of three or  even five new threads popping up daily on the forum boards. All with variations of the title ‘I know Medb cannot be trusted, but the reward has been so great, so… ‘, quickly fo...

Equals

Luckily, before Jonathan’s emotion could go to its full tilt, a moment later, the answer on the scroll screen changed.

You need the help of Atlas' army.

Jonathan was relieved that the emotion had not yet formed into a complete thought, and could not help but exhale loudly.

Of course, indeed, from Ozpin's point of view it was definitely worth having contingencies, after all, Jonathan had not initiated him into the mysteries of magic and Ozpin was still in the dark ...

Summoning new Servants (178)

Doing good deeds was good, Ainz was absolutely certain of this.

The servants around Ainz were his subordinates, for whom Ainz was personally responsible for. Ainz was absolutely sure of that as well.

The problem was that Ainz had a habit of saving up his items with the unhealthy zeal of a player who collected all of the potions or scrolls ‘for when I need it’. And when faced with the conditions in which he should use his accumulated items he always said ‘no, I can handle it ...

Finding a suitable gift for Neo was easy enough – any sweets would do, though she greatly preferred ice cream. She would also be happy with clothes, jewelry, magazines, gadgets and many other things that were difficult to find in the gift shop.

Choosing gifts for Cinder was much more difficult.

No, Jonathan had no doubt that Cinder would accept any gift he gives with gratitude, he puts his feet down on giving her any of his second hand clothes though, no matter how many times sh...

Grail question

And here we have a vote about the Grail. So, Ainz has one Grail after this Singularity. And you are given three options to choose from.

Option 1 - Summon Servant from Yggdrasil. Everything as usual.

Option 2 - Summon Servant from Nasuverse. A Servant who has not appeared in the plot up to this point. And this Servant, most likely, did not appear in the main plot at all.

Option 3 - Grail a Servant. The list of Servants available for Grailing will be available later.

So it marks the end of the Singularity IV. Did you like it? I hope so.
Anyway, here goes inter-Singularity chapters in Chaldea. First things first - decide whom to summon now.

Singularity V: E Plubris Unum (177)

Seeing that the last of the enemy Servants being moped up by the other Servants, Ainz breathes a sigh of relief. Really, what would happen next? A nun that really should read her chastity vows again, using the entire Earth for a really suggestive attack!?

Ignoring the chill that ran through his neck, Ainz took a quick cursory glance at the surviving Servants. Happily, it allowed him to determine that none of his Servants had been killed – or even particularly wounded.

Jonathan’s restless, tired wakefulness gave way to a restless slumber, before being interrupted again when the sun just broke through the windows. Jonathan woke up – still sleepy, but seemingly even more tired than yesterday.

Blinking slightly before looking around, as if trying to remember where he was now, the answer did make its way to Jonathan’s mind.

The end of American battle (176)

Scales, the one used to weigh things, are a wonderful tool. Even the archaic ones – made up of a pair of bowls with levers connected through ropes, cunning, spit and hope, were an important tool for mankind.

Unfortunately, if you put too heavy an object on it, they could not perform their function, simply breaking under the weight of the object.

This principle was true even for divine scales, even for metaphysical ones.

So it is done: Normalcy of growing-up

Jonathan was in a bad mood, which was to be expected.

The past few days, he couldn't get any rest. That didn't mean he didn't want to sleep – it meant that he couldn't sleep.

And so why am I in Vacuo now?

Vacuo was a place Jonathan didn't like, which is no surprise.

No one liked Vacuo, to put it bluntly and honestly.

Wrapping himself tighter in his cloak, only barely able to hide his figure from the cold winds of the night desert. Jon...
