Chapter 203

"I know it without you telling me!" Achilles swung the reins vigorously, infused magic power, and increased the speed of the chariot to the maximum. He rushed to the gap in the encirclement at supersonic speed, approaching the steel fortress that bloomed on the ground like a giant flower like a hurricane.

They had never thought of the option of retreat. Although the enemy was so powerful that it made people despair, and they were exhausted and wounded, whether it was Amakusa, Jeanne d'Arc, or Achilles, they had only one thought in their hearts-to kill into the steel fortress! 　　... However, ideals are full, and reality is skinny. Although the will of the three heroes is extremely firm, this cannot change their absolute disadvantage in strength.

A mere supersonic advance cannot allow them to really break out of the encirclement carefully woven by artificial intelligence.

Even though Achilles relied on his master's abundant magic power and was not afraid of consumption, he launched the treasure again and again to sprint, but at every critical moment, there would be an extremely accurate and powerful attack that hit the shield that turned into a small world. The huge force penetrated the invisible barrier of the self-contained world and forced the speeding chariot to slow down from the rush.

The encirclement of pursuit and interception gradually narrowed, and just a few hundred meters away from the fortress, the chariot's charge was finally completely cut off.

Seeing that they were about to be completely surrounded, a faint despair surged from the hearts of the three heroes.

"...It seems that my journey has come to an end this time... Ruler... No, I'll call you Jeanne! Although I think my desire to save all mankind is absolutely correct, I also understand that if I am the one who makes it to the end, I will definitely not be able to take back the Holy Grail... As a Heroic Spirit, even with the bonus of the Ruler class, I am still too weak... So, handing the Holy Grail to you is better than letting it continue to be possessed by those evil beings.

Everything that follows is left to you and Achilles!" As he spoke, he used the Noble Phantasm to perform a psychic operation and transferred all the Command Spells in his hand to Jeanne. Amakusa Shiro Tokisada showed an extremely clear and hearty smile, as if the young saint who performed miracles and healed the believers had returned again, extremely sunny and open-minded, without any haze at all.

"Amakusa..." Jeanne looked at the saint who had the same faith and similar experience as her, but ended up on a completely opposite path. At this moment, he was truly worthy of the word "saint", and was no longer the paranoid person who said he wanted to save humanity but didn't believe in humanity at all.

"Don't show that expression, go and complete your mission! I have to complete my mission too... What a pity, I thought I would be able to fulfill my wish this time..." The saint from the Far East sighed self-deprecatingly, stretched out his arms, and a huge amount of magic power was gathering - "[Twin Arm - Big Crunch]!" The black and white magic power shone on the left and right arms of Amakusa Shiro Tokisada at the same time. The special magic circuit in his arm, which was originally changing in seconds, was overloaded and ran wild under the infusion of excessive magic power.

This was originally a trick that only Amakusa, the owner of the Noble Phantasm, could use after connecting himself to a spiritual vein or some kind of huge magical condensation. The overloaded magic power would be condensed and refined into simulated dark matter under the overload operation of the special magic circuit in his arms, corroding and destroying everything around him.

But at this moment, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who gave up his obsession, abandoned his own life, and burned his body and soul as firewood, broke through the inherent limitations of the Noble Phantasm and forcibly drove the Noble Phantasm with his own body and servant-level soul as a substitute.

As a price, the body of the young saint decomposed and dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning from the real flesh and blood body to the invisible ether, and then all turned into firewood and added to the "darkness" that had already taken shape.

When his body and his soul completely disappeared, the "light" of darkness broke out! Although black and light are contradictory in themselves, the scene that appeared on the battlefield at this moment is more appropriate than ever.

Under the final will of its creator, the simulated dark matter that eroded everything shot forward from one side of the chariot like a beam of light. All the matter, energy, light, and sound waves along the way disappeared directly from this world like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser.

From a distance, it was like a black light, shooting out from the encirclement formed by countless mechanical armies, destroying all enemies along the way, and even directly bombarding the fortress body standing hundreds of meters away, blasting a huge gap in the steel outer wall.

"Now!" Jeanne used a command spell without hesitation, stimulating the power of Achilles' treasure to the maximum. The chariot pulled by three divine horses, at a speed beyond the limit, was like a stream of light, following the passage that Amakusa Shiro Tokisada sacrificed everything to blast out, breaking through a distance of hundreds of meters in a short moment, and directly rushed into the gap in the fortress.

... "Amakusa Shiro Tokisada took the initiative to sacrifice himself? It feels a bit inconsistent... Is it the intervention of the inhibitory power again? Forcibly changing the will of a heroic spirit?" Fang Yuan continued to evaluate the interference ability of the inhibitory power in his heart, and then He raised his eyes and glanced at the two survivors who finally broke through all the obstacles and entered the fortress. After thinking about it, he decided to give them a surprise - "[Friday], wake up the sub-server Berserker and teleport to Aqa In front of Leus - let the 'parties' resolve the old grudges in the mythical era themselves! "...') 259'\u003eChapter 258: The Queen of Amazons Makes the Best Use of Everything!

Just after Joan of Arc and Achilles rushed into the fortress, before they could find a way to go deeper into the fortress, suddenly, a petite figure appeared in front of them out of thin air.

To be more precise, appear before Achilles.

The visitor had a delicate appearance, a slender figure, and was wearing very revealing clothes. However, she was one of the female sub-servants who had been targeted by the Yggdomirenia clan before, but was finally captured by Fang Yuan.

When she first appeared, she seemed a little confused by the sudden change in her surrounding environment. But when she turned her eyes to the front and saw the figure driving the chariot, scarlet madness instantly emerged from her eyes. The spray came out.

"This guy...that aura...is it him...yes, yes, it's him, Achilles! Achilles, ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-!!!" Miss Sub-Servant, who was driven into a state of madness by the influence of the spirit base, completely ignored her current situation, and did not consider what happened in the space change just now. She also completely failed to notice the saint who was also standing on the battlefield. Miss.

There is only one person in her eyes, that is her, no, "her" enemy, "her" murderous intention, "her" obsession - Achilles, only Achilles, no matter how In this way, we must fight with him again and kill him! ! ! "She is... Penthesilea? No, she is a human with Penthesilea's spirit base... I see, is this the intention of the master here?" Joan of Arc briefly identified this person who appeared as soon as she appeared. The power contained in the mad girl's body soon confirmed who the spiritual base fused in her body belonged to.

And when she knew the true identity of the spirit base in this girl's body, she immediately understood why the other party behaved like this.

——There is no doubt that this is the fate left by the great demigod hero of the Gods next to him.

"Little Saint Saint... No, I'll call you Joan of Arc. Leave this guy to me. You can move on!" Before Joan could speak, Achilles spoke first and proposed to fight the enemy alone. requirements.

Obviously, although he does not have the class ability of Ruler, the evil cause and effect that has been passed down for thousands of years and originated from myths and legends still made Achilles understand the girl at the first sight. the other party’s identity.

He understood that the person who appeared in front of him at this time, showing a mad appearance, was not the little android girl with the Berserker spiritual power, but the real Berserker Penthesilea herself! "...If this is your wish..." Joan of Arc looked at Achilles, and then at the berserker on the other side who might kill him at any time. After thinking about it for two seconds, he agreed with Achilles. requirements.

"Command Seal, Strengthen!" Moreover, before she left, she did not forget to use the [Divine Judgment] she had mastered as a Ruler class to strengthen Achilles to make up for what he had just experienced before. The consumption of successive battles.

After this, Joan of Arc left the chariot directly and plunged into the intricate passages in the fortress.

——Although there is no map of the fortress and the specific location of the passage inside is not clear, with the help of the [Revelation] skill, Joan of Arc seemed to have the help of gods, and she never made a mistake on the right path, heading towards the fortress. The core of the fortress is constantly approaching.

Achilles, who stayed where he was, looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar warrior in front of him. After sighing, he put away the scarred chariot treasure, held a spear, and faced head-on the one he least wanted to encounter. enemy".

"Achilles! Achilles!! Achilles ssssssss-!!!" After Achilles showed his willingness to fight, the human part of the sub-server's body was completely lost. Gaining control of the body, the violent God-era heroic spirit directly broke through the obstacles of magic restrictions and took over the body of the android girl.

Even, under the transformation of the Heroic Spirit Spirit Base, the girl's appearance changed in a short period of time, turning into the appearance of the Amazon Queen of Gods from the inside out.

"It is indeed you, Penthesilea..." Seeing this scene, Achilles finally confirmed his feelings and let out an apologetic sigh again.

"Achilles! Die!!!" Bang -! The Amazon female warrior, whose whole body was filled with hatred and madness, had her body functions enhanced beyond the limit by the [Crazy Transformation] skill. With just one step of her foot, she instantly entered a state of speed that could not be recognized by the naked eye.

The next moment, she appeared in front of Achilles, holding a dark iron chain in her hand at some point. The end of the iron chain was connected to a huge solid iron ball covered with metal spikes.

The meteor hammer was used by Penthesilea as a Berserker. It was a huge and heavy weapon that did not match her petite female figure at all.

But as the Amazon Queen, who has the blood of the God of War and is even more powerful than most male heroes, even though she is only in the state of a sub-server attached to the human body, her power when wielding the meteor hammer is still unparalleled.

Especially now she is facing the heel who killed her and gave her a huge insult after her death (praising her beauty is considered an insult... right?). With the blessing of mad energy, this one dropped from the air. The attack is even more majestic.

clang--! ! ! The collision of spears and meteor hammers resounded through the space at the bottom of the fortress. The fateful battle that had been entangled from the age of gods to the present entered a white-hot state at the first moment.

... Tap tap tap tap - The unique footsteps of metal boots on the metal floor resounded in the corridor. In the end, she turned into a lonely French saint, holding a flag that could no longer be called a holy flag. It was a spear weapon, running along the correct path she had received from the [revelation].

clang--! Although invisible, the [revelation] given by the gods still allowed Joan of Arc to naturally swing a gun, hitting the invisible enemy in the air.

——Since it is said that the so-called "protagonist" must go through many difficulties and numerous difficulties and obstacles before he can meet Fang Yuan, the "big devil", he will naturally not forget to set up many levels and obstacles in his own "Demon King City". Countless defenders ensure that every step Joan of Arc takes is full of blood and sweat.

The invisible enemy in front of Joan of Arc is one of the defenders.

With near-perfect optical invisibility, silent movements without sound, and a mechanical body without the presence of life breath, coupled with the use of a force field to control the air and suppress the airflow, this guardian's invisibility ability is comparable to at least an A-level [Breathe Interruption] ability. , can be called a top assassin.

But this time the enemy it encountered was the nemesis of all assassins - Joan of Arc, who possesses the precognitive ability of [Revelation]. Even if she herself is not aware of the abnormalities around her, the gods who care for her will proactively remind her she.

——No matter how sophisticated your stealth and assassination skills are, you can't stop someone from using Precognition! Therefore, the invisible enemy did not stop Joan of Arc for long. After only three or four fights, she had already locked the enemy's position, and then followed her intuition and shot at it, directly destroying the invisible guardian's energy core.

Bang - Abandoning the invisible guardian that had lost its power and turned into a pile of scrap metal, Joan of Arc didn't take a second look at it. She just waved the flagpole in her hand and continued to rush towards the direction sensed in [Revelation]. Run away.

')260'\u003eChapter 259 The Saint of Red Lotus \u0026 Death of "Fang Yuan"

I don't know how much time passed, but the main entrance of the central hall where Fang Yuan was was blown away by a huge force. Walking out from behind the door was a girl holding a flag (gun) who was covered in blood and looked embarrassed.

Just now, Fang Yuan watched a God's version of "The Queen's Revenge", in which the Amazon Queen, who had "attacked Achilles", won the final victory in the battle with Achilles.

Although from a strength comparison point of view, Achilles is much stronger than Penthesilea no matter what, but on the battlefield, anything can happen, right? For example, the sudden appearance of irregular gravity changes that only affect one person; For example, the inexplicable pits and bumps on the ground that are enough to trip people; Another example is that the lighting at the battle scene suddenly malfunctions. Someone's eyes caused a blinding blow... Well, this is all caused by the aging of the equipment and has nothing to do with Fang Yuan himself! Of course, the victor also paid a price. The android girl who originally housed the heroic spirit spirit was overdrawn to the point of collapse in the wild battle of the berserker who showed no care for her body. Coupled with the injuries she suffered, it was very difficult for her to survive. She came to the end of her life quickly, ending her short life as a tool.

Although it was a pity that there was one less experimental sample, after confirming Achilles' death, Fang Yuan also confirmed that the only one who could finally come to him would be Joan of Arc as Ruler.

Now, she is finally here! "Joan of Arc, the enforcer of restraint, I have been waiting for you for a long time!" In the middle of the hall, Fang Yuan, half lying and half sitting on a huge chair, supported his cheek with one hand, with an intriguing smile on his face, and said with a With a tone of "I've been waiting for you for a long time", he said hello to the saintly lady who had worked hard to get here.

Hearing Fang Yuan's voice, Joan of Arc immediately recalled the puppet who "reported" to her in the restaurant - "It was indeed you..." The heavily injured Joan gasped and spoke with some difficulty.

Although he passed many levels along the way, the traps and various guards set by Fang Yuan were not easily overcome.

Although the invisible guardian she met at the beginning seemed so powerless in front of Joan of Arc who had the [Revelation] skill, on her subsequent journey, she encountered all kinds of strange enemies and traps, which allowed Joan to move forward. Extremely difficult.

Things like laser channels and mechanical guards can only be considered child's play. Gravity traps, time stasis areas, and space mazes can only be considered routine operations. Only things like space annihilation traps and controllable simulated black holes can be considered. It can be regarded as crazy.

Even though Joan of Arc was protected by the gods and warned by [Revelation], she was forced into a desperate situation close to death many times when facing increasingly exaggerated traps and mechanical guards that could not be killed no matter how hard she tried.

Fortunately, "God" really favored her. Every time she faced a life-and-death crisis, there would always be various coincidences, allowing Joan of Arc to find the only way out in an almost impossible desperate situation. In the end, she killed her way to the deepest part without losing any limbs and came to Fang Yuan.

"You are the one who talked to me through the puppet at the beginning! The reason why the Holy Grail War got out of control this time was also caused by you, right!" Although it was a question sentence, Joan of Arc's tone was full of affirmation.

After all, such a large Holy Grail was placed behind Fang Yuan. As long as you are not blind, you can see that the person in front of you is the culprit who took away the Holy Grail.

However, due to the duties of Ruler as a judge and Joan of Arc's own moral habits, she still had to ask this question formally.

"Yes, it was me who reported the violators to you.

But you said that I was the culprit who caused this Holy Grail War to get out of control... I'm sorry that I don't take the blame! This Holy Grail War has been out of control since the beginning. Whether it is the Yugdomrenia family, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, or the behind-the-scenes controllers of those sub-servants, their violations were before me. If you accuse me like this, I will sue you for defamation!" Although he knew that Jeanne d'Arc was using words to buy time to recover, for the sake of his upcoming plan, Fang Yuan still cooperated with her in a verbal battle, without any awareness of "the villain dies because of talking too much".

"...But you took away the Greater Holy Grail, directly interfering with the normal operation of this Holy Grail War, and at the same time, you unscrupulously exerted extraordinary power, threatening the lives of a large number of innocent people-there is no doubt that you are evil, and in the name of the Lord, I will impose divine punishment on you!" Whether it is the [revelation] in her heart or her own judgment, Jeanne d'Arc has already identified the person in front of her as a target that must be defeated and eliminated.

However, she was already at the end of her strength. Although she didn't know how strong the enemy was, the extremely powerful traps and guards were enough to stop her before she got close, or even kill her... So... there was only this one choice! After making a decision in her heart, Joan of Arc threw away the flagpole in her hand, which had been broken by one-third and had lost its weapon function, and pulled out the Saint Catherine's sword that she had never used in her life. She held the sword upside down, cut her palm with the blade, and smeared the blood on the blade. Holding the sword, he knelt down and prayed: "The heavens are the glory of the Lord, and the sky is the great work of God's hand.

... The day conveys language, and the night conveys knowledge. Neither can he talk nor speak, and even his voice cannot be heard.

The warm light spreads all over the earth and extends to the end of the world.

Climb up from the end of the sky and circle all the way to the end of the sky.

My end is here, my destiny is here, and my life is here.

My life is equivalent to nothing, like a shadow wandering around.

My bow cannot be relied on, and my sword cannot save me.

With the only thing left, I hope to guard his steps...

...Lord, I entrust this body to you--After despair, there will be hope!!!"

Accompanying the prayer, there appeared a fire of karma like a red lotus.

This symbolizes the experience of Joan of Arc being burned to death by fire, which is also equivalent to Joan of Arc's past life. It is the crystallization of her piety and faith in God, and it is also a miracle formed by the legend of the saint in the world.

But more importantly, this is a divine punishment strike by the omniscient and omnipotent "God" against Jeanne, the "enemy of God" identified by the agent of God.

In other words, this strike not only contains Jeanne's own power, but also represents the will of restraint! 　　Faced with this Ex-level attack that has exceeded the evaluation level, Fang Yuan, as the target of the attack, unexpectedly did not make any defense, allowing himself to be engulfed by the scorching flames. His fragile body was torn apart by the impact of the flames carrying huge energy, and the blood splashed from it finally dripped onto the ground before being evaporated by the flames.

The next moment, starting from the position where the first drop of blood fell, lines and runes emerged from the ground, instantly covering every corner of the entire hall, even the walls and ceiling.

No, not just the hall, but the entire fortress has emerged with extremely complex lines and patterns, forming an extremely huge and complex formation.

… At the same moment when “Fang Yuan” died, another Fang Yuan opened his eyes.

“It’s started!” The orbital station cabin of the space city that had disappeared from the real space and time reappeared from the other side of the space and time dimension to the surface, returning to the normal three-dimensional space and time.

However, the space city that reappeared in the real space and time was no longer one, but a full 50! This is a special application of space folding technology, similar to the swordsman’s specialty of a certain gatekeeper swordsman, which is a “multi-dimensional folding phenomenon” achieved by scientific and technological means.

Moreover, unlike a certain swordsman who chops swallows with his sword, he can only swing at most three slashes at the same time. With the help of extremely huge semi-permanent energy and space manipulation technology from alien technology, this space city What was achieved was an extremely exaggerated 50-fold existence.

The 50 space cities were distributed to various locations around the earth the moment they appeared, and then, under the control of the gravity control system, they were fixed at certain positions relative to the earth's surface.

The next moment, dazzling beams of light that could be seen even on the ground were emitted from various space cities, connecting 50 artificial celestial bodies with each other, forming a complex pattern made of five Metatronic cubes nested inside each other. , encompassing the entire earth.

When the formation diagram was completed, it happened to be the moment when "Fang Yuan" on the ground was killed and his blood dripped on the ground, activating the formation diagram.

')261'\u003eChapter 260 God-killing Sacrifice (Part 1)

"The five elements of air, fire, water, earth, and ether are complete, the circle is ready-made, the wedge has been nailed, and the blood sacrifice has been offered... The God-killing Sacrifice, start!" The formation diagram surrounding the planet in the sky and The moment the formations in the ground fortress, stained red by "Fang Yuan's" blood, were completed at the same time, invisible fluctuations started from the landing fortress rooted in the earth and swept across the entire planet in an instant.

Everyone, regardless of his/her gender, age, health, wealth, awake or sleeping, as long as he/she still belongs to the species "human", they feel in their hearts that they are here For a moment, it seemed like I had lost something, and at the same time I seemed to have gained something.

However, this feeling is too slight, and most people just regard this moment of trance as an illusion.

Except for those who are gifted, mentally strong, or have experienced various practices and have extremely sharp minds, almost no one can truly realize what is happening at this moment.

In fact, for humans on the surface, what attracts their attention more is the sudden appearance of dazzling light beams in the sky that cannot be covered up even in daylight.

Not to mention the commotion this extraordinary phenomenon will cause among governments and people of various countries, let us turn our attention back to the starting point of all changes.

In the steel fortress that stands in the mountains of Romania, a huge formation composed of countless lines and ancient characters shines with red light, as red as blood, mysterious, ominous, and exudes an aura of extreme danger.

Yes, it is dangerous! Because, at this moment, what appears in the fortress is a great existence that absolutely cannot be looked at by mortals.

It was a spherical crystal with endless cut edges, crystal clear, and like a diamond.

If someone could see it/him with their own eyes, they would find that the number of cutting facets shining and refracting the seven-color brilliance is almost endless, but they are magically gathered on the surface of a crystal the size of a human head. Clearly, one can even distinguish the shape of each facet one by one.

If you look carefully at the reflective facets, you will find that what is reflected in each facet is a complete life of a human being.

Birth, growth, learning, success, frustration, joy, sadness, thinking, indulgence, troubles, aging, death... everything a person experiences in his life, everything he thinks about, and even the things he himself may not notice. Even the smallest thoughts can be seen clearly in the flash of this faceted brilliance.

And the number of facets on the surface of this crystal, as mentioned before, is almost infinite! This is the reflection of the fate of all human beings on the entire planet, no, it includes the past, present, and all human beings who may be born in the future! Therefore, when the brilliance of this diamond-like crystal shines into human eyes, the unparalleled and immeasurable information will instantly scorch the human brain and scatter the human soul. If the person is lucky enough to survive, it is inevitable that he will end up permanently crazy.

There is a saying in the Bible: Do not look directly at God! This is the "god" of humans on earth! God, Allah, God, the Supreme God... These are all His names.

According to the custom of the modern magic world, it should be called - Inhibition Alaya! Yes, Alaya, who is supposed to be formless, ubiquitous, but traceless, actually appears here in physical form! And when He truly condensed his entity from nothingness and was suppressed by the array that enveloped the world, unable to return to his invisible posture, an invisible door opened right in front of Him! Behind the door is indescribable darkness and terror! The next moment, the invisible darkness turned into countless tentacles, grabbed the crystal that had nowhere to escape, and swallowed it directly into the door.

... Question: What method can be used to eliminate the inhibitory power in a planet? The simplest way is to destroy the planet and all living things on it.

In this way, both Gaia, the will of the planet, and Alaya, formed by the collective unconsciousness of mankind, have lost the material foundation of their existence, and naturally they can only sink into destruction together.

However, it was obviously impossible for Fang Yuan to choose such a simple and crude solution.

After all, he is not a demolition office manager named Sa who likes to burn glass, nor is he a Sith dark lord who likes to destroy planets with the Death Star. He is just an alchemist who likes to explore the truth.

If it is not necessary, he doesn't even like to kill people! 　　——Using the scum and garbage of humans to refine the Philosopher's Stone is not considered killing, it is cleaning up the garbage! 　　Well, although he seemed to have sacrificed an entire country just to be able to return to his own world when he first crossed over... 　　Ahem! Let's not talk about this, let's get back to the point-　　Since Fang Yuan couldn't just blow up the earth to deal with the inhibitory force, for him, how to eliminate the invisible inhibitory force alone without harming humans and the planet has become the primary problem.

There is a solution, of course, that is to turn the invisible inhibitory force into a tangible one! 　　But the question is, how to do it? 　　After all, the inhibitory force itself is a very mysterious concept. It is neither a certain substance nor a spiritual body, but an illusory existence that is closer to the macroscopic concept. In essence, it is actually a trend of the planet or the entire human race as a whole. It can also be regarded as a special "force" that does not directly act on the material or energy level.

From this point of view, the name "inhibition force" can be said to be appropriate.

This concept actually already existed in the main world. Gaia consciousness, racial consciousness, and national will can all be regarded as "restraint" to some extent.

However, this restraint is very chaotic and difficult to understand. It is impossible for personality wisdom to exist. It is essentially just an inertial trend in the general direction.

However, in the Type-Moon world, this originally conceptual existence has given birth to wisdom and has the instinct to maintain its own survival. Although there is no definite personality, it can actively extend its tentacles to interfere with the operation of the world.

And in this Holy Grail War, the one who repeatedly created "coincidences", interfered with the direction of the Holy Grail War, and prevented Fang Yuan from obtaining the true third law, according to Fang Yuan's observation, can be confirmed to be one of the two major restraining forces in the Moon World, the collective unconsciousness of mankind - Alaya consciousness.
