438 You Are the Most Important in My Heart (Another 8,000 Words in Three in One)
"It's Rider and Saber... so there's only one left."
In the spacious back garden, two faintly visible energies drifted from a distance and entered the boulder wrapping the Holy Grail. Then the egg-like boulder shed a layer of shell again. Not only did the color become whiter, but it even You can also see the stream of light faintly revealed from the rock surface.
"It's perfect." Looking at its changes, Shiro Amakusa couldn't help but feel a little more excited in his eyes, just like looking at his child who was about to be born. "The Great Holy Grail has been fully activated and has reached nearly 80% progress. It is still There are no signs of contamination and it can be used!”
For this Holy Grail War, from the initial confusion and helplessness to the subsequent planning, what Amakusa Shiro was most worried about was not how strong the enemy was. Anyway, even if he didn't show up, the servants would still fight each other. It was just that in order for the Great Holy Grail to be activated smoothly, they had to die in the Sky Garden, so he had to expose himself.
What he was most worried about was that he was not clean enough and had not completely eliminated the malice in the Holy Grail.
Although he had understood the making principle of the Great Holy Grail sixty years ago, and during those sixty years of continuous research and analysis, he knew how to purify the contaminated Great Holy Grail, but... that was after all. The evil in this world, even if it is brought by the weakest servant, behind it is the symbol of human malice!
He agreed with what Tang Hao said, as long as there are people, there will be war.
In the same way, as long as human beings remain what they are now, human malice will never be purified.
Even though with the help of Gilgamesh, he had definitely killed the servant who represented human malice without leaving even a trace of residue, the Holy Grail was already in a contaminated state after all, and the malice spread. After decades, even the Holy Grail itself may have been distorted. The soul of the Winter Saint, who entered the Holy Grail for her ideals and completely lost her self-awareness, may have been contaminated by this malice and turned into an evil existence. .
That's why he stays here, on the one hand to protect, and on the other hand to monitor. Once the Great Holy Grail shows any signs of contamination, he will destroy it immediately. Even if he fails, he cannot let the malice be released, otherwise The consequences will be disastrous.
And until now, when the powers of Achilles and Nero after their death were sucked into the Great Holy Grail just like Cuchu and Medea, making it the last step away from completion, Amakusa Shiro finally felt relieved.
No signs of contamination!
While excited, he also breathed a sigh of relief, so that he could carry out the plan as usual.
"Assassin, where are the rest of us?"
"Berserker, his master, and the woman who calls herself a magician are still wandering in the atrium. The route there is very complicated. I made some changes deliberately. They will not be able to get here for at least half an hour. Archer and The other Small Holy Grail is still fighting Gilgamesh, but it should be over in five minutes at most."
"Who is the winner?"
"Of course, Gilgamesh."
Hearing this, Amakusa Shiro breathed a sigh of relief again.
Although Semiramis is here, she can observe every corner of the aerial garden and know everyone's movements. After all, this is her Noble Phantasm, otherwise she would not have been so lucky to be in Akko. When Lucius and Nero fought until both were injured, they launched the Black Coffin Strike and successfully captured the two heads.
At this moment, Semiramis was still monitoring the remaining people.
"Then there are the two most troublesome characters... The despicable and shameless man is luckier. Although he took a long detour, he never triggered the trap I set. It's a bit incredible." Speaking of this, Semiramis She couldn't help but frown, because then she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to deal with Tang Hao.
Although the person who seriously injured Amakusa Shiro was the True Ancestor, in the final analysis, it was all caused by Tang Hao. The True Ancestor was just the sword in his hand. Of course, Semiramis hated it more than the killing knife. The person holding the knife, but... she obviously thought so, why didn't she attack Tang Hao from the beginning to the end? Rather, why would I ignore this person?
Maybe... I'm too tired.
Semiramis couldn't figure it out for a while, and stopped thinking about it. He just found a reason for himself, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Although that guy took a long detour, he was heading in the right direction. It's a pity that , what he arrived at was my jade room. And in the jade room, the true ancestor was still trapped, haha... That woman, I really want to tell her that she has strong limbs and a simple mind, but she even dreamed of forcibly breaking the barrier, Now I am almost exhausted. I originally thought it would be the biggest threat, but now it seems that I can completely ignore it."
Amakusa Shiro nodded. Tang Hao and Yu Ji were not on his hunting list. Even if he killed these two people, it would not be of any benefit to his ideals. It would just be a waste of energy. However, the intervention of these two people But it will cause huge obstacles to his plan. Now that the head-on conflict between the two sides can be avoided, it is undoubtedly the best result.
As for what happens next...
After that, as long as Gilgamesh kills the goddess Ishtar, the Great Holy Grail will be activated and the third method can be successfully achieved. At that time, even if Tang Hao comes in front of him and kills him with a knife, it will not matter. of.
For this ideal of saving mankind, he had already put life and death aside.
"Then continue to wait." After saying that, Amakusa Shiro sat down and glanced at his chest. The plan was all planned, but it was also true that he was almost killed by Yu Ji before. Fortunately, he passed by Semiramis With the treatment, he has almost recovered. Even if the enemy rushes in now, he should still be able to hold on in five minutes.
"Assassin." Looking up, Amakusa Shiro suddenly noticed that Semiramis's expression was a little strange, as if he was in a daze, "What's wrong?"
Semiramis was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something. Don't worry, it has nothing to do with our plan."
"Really, that's good." Seeing that she had returned to her usual appearance, Amakusa Shiro said no more, turned his head, and continued to stare at the entrance to the garden in front.
At the same time, Semiramis frowned again...she just lied.
For some reason, she was suddenly upset. She always felt that something had been missed, but she still couldn't remember it. The more she thought about it, the blurrier it became. Even her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, making it impossible to see clearly.
what is it?
Reaching out to rub her forehead, Semiramis closed her eyes. It must be... just an illusion, right?
She felt that she might be thinking too much. She was really tired today. Even for a demon with spiritual veins, it was difficult to contain so many enemies at the same time. In addition, she was injured by the True Ancestor before, so That's why you're just thinking wildly.
It doesn't matter, everything is fine, as long as we survive these five minutes.
As long as Ishtar is killed, the Great Holy Grail can be fully activated, Shiro's ideal can be realized, and I... no problem!
Semiramis secretly clenched her fists, then opened her eyes again and looked into the distance. That was the battlefield between Ishtar and Gilgamesh. Right now, this was already the most critical battle. She didn't know what to do. Don't want to miss it either.
Time passed bit by bit, and Semiramis watched attentively, watching with her own eyes the locks of heaven binding Ishtar, watching with her own eyes the figure of little Illya being knocked away, and finally, seeing with her own eyes the figure of Ishtar. Shitar was penetrated by countless noble phantoms...
The outcome is decided!
"Win, Shiro!"
Perhaps due to being overly excited, she once again selflessly called out Amakusa Shiro's name.
"Won?" Amakusa Shiro was also refreshed, and the two immediately turned their heads to look at the position of the Holy Grail... ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds... or even one minute, but the Holy Grail never changed.
"this……"
The two couldn't help but glance at each other, and both saw surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.
Logically speaking, the Servant will be sucked into the Holy Grail immediately after death. This result is immediate and does not even require time to transition, but now a minute has clearly passed.
"Could it be...?"
boom!
Suddenly, a loud noise burst through the garden door. The two turned around reflexively, and saw a figure slowly walking into the smoke-filled entrance.
"That's the Masaka!"
The visitor passed through the smoke and dust and appeared in front of the two of them. He smiled politely and humbly, "Here he is, brother."
"It's you!" Amakusa Shiro's eyes suddenly widened, his expression extremely wary.
The person who came was none other than Tang Hao.
At the same time, Semiramis also showed an expression of disbelief, because she saw a second figure coming out of the smoke and standing next to Tang Hao.
"True Ancestor..." Looking at Yu Ji who looked as usual, even a little ferocious, Semiramis blinked her eyes and quickly turned her gaze to the jade room. There, the barrier was still intact, and there was a woman with long hair. Controlling the blood tornado, he continued to rush through the barrier, but due to the excessive consumption of magic power, not only was there no success, but he was almost exhausted from exhaustion.
Yu Ji is obviously still trapped in the barrier, why...
"Yes, this expression is very good." Looking at the shocked eyes of the two people, Tang Hao smiled, just like when the protagonists had won a tough battle and were about to celebrate, they suddenly jumped out and told They [all this was designed by me, you are alive because I let you win, I am the mastermind], applauded without hesitation, and of course they liked it just as much as the villain. Talking nonsense, "I know you must be surprised now and even start to doubt life. Reality can deceive you. So, do you need me to explain to you the whole story?"
Amakusa Shiro/Semiramis: "..."
The two of them looked like Spongebob at the moment.
But after a moment of silence, Amakusa Shiro still endured the discomfort and asked: "Why...why?"
"Since you asked sincerely, I will tell you with great mercy." Tang Hao said with a smile, then stretched out his hand and threw something forward. Amakusa Shiro instinctively wanted to hide, but because he had no feeling Even though he was in danger, he still took the thing in his hand. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was a lighter-like doll.
"Let the Empress listen."
Shiro Tianchao looked at Tang Hao, and then handed the doll to the empress as instructed. When the empress put it to her ear, a girl's voice immediately came from inside, "Hello, I am the master of Saber, Jiu Yuan. Si Youzhu, I thanked you for taking care of me before."
"this……"
Semiramis opened her mouth, unable to speak.
It doesn't matter that Yuju Kuonji is still alive. A master who has lost a servant is not even worth a last hit. It is impossible to sign a contract with other servants anyway, but the other party's voice can be transmitted, that is to say ... There are loopholes in this sky garden.
That's right. Although two servants were killed due to the attack of the black coffin, part of the sky garden was missing and it could no longer operate perfectly. If it were a first-rate magician, he might not be able to break free from the suppression of her magic.
Tang Hao smiled, Youzhu was not only a first-class magician, but also a unique fairy tale witch.
Just a few minutes ago, Youzhu and Chengzi were shot down, and they managed to save their lives with the help of two rituals. Since the magic power was almost exhausted in the battle, she could no longer enter the venue, but, thinking of the time spent together, , but in the end she couldn't help at all. She was still a little unwilling, so she used the communication tool she had made through alchemy earlier to try to contact Tang Hao, at least to confirm the status of both parties.
After that, she used the few remaining magic props to actually open a rift in the closed sky garden and successfully contacted Tang Hao.
After learning about Youzhu's situation, Tang Hao became a little more suspicious of Amakusa's actions.
After all, the manifestation of the Holy Grail depends on the death of the servants. This is not a secret, and Semiramis also attacks Achilles, obviously wanting to kill all the servants on both sides.
Realizing this, Tang Hao immediately contacted Patchouli.
On the other hand, Ishtar faced the enemy Jin Shining and was in a disadvantageous situation. Even with little Illya, there was no possibility of victory, so she decisively sent a signal for help to Patchouli.
The three of them were on the phone at the same time, exchanging information. With so many clues, as long as their IQ was not equal to Aqua's, it would not be difficult to guess Amakusa's plan.
So after that, everyone performed a play for Semiramis.
After all, after a loophole appeared in the sky garden, it was no longer possible to suppress Patchouli's magic as before, so she first created an illusion and used the magic of avatars and phantoms to make Semiramis think they were still looking for a way out. , then hide his true identity and go to rescue Ishtar with Illya.
The fully formed Patchouli, regardless of the asthma attack, is still capable of fighting against Shining Shining. What's more, with the support of Hercules and Souji Okita, Jin Shining Shining is equivalent to With one against five, you will be lucky if you can win!
Of course, Patchouli was not willing to fight. After temporarily trapping Jin Shining with a barrier, she left with everyone... Of course, before leaving, she still threw away a false image and let Semirami Si thought that Jin Shining and Ishtar were still fighting, and the scene where Ishtar was killed later was of course fake.
In the Scarlet Devil Mansion, it was Patchouli who made Flandre unable to leave the house and suppressed her with magic. She attacked unexpectedly. Not to mention Jin Shining, there was nothing wrong with letting him sit in "prison" for at least a few minutes. of.
And how proud Jin Shining was, how could she tell Semiramis such a shameful thing, so that she was completely kept in the dark.
At the same time, Tang Hao contacted Roman again, and after asking about Yu Ji's situation, he followed the same method and borrowed the magic book containing the magic of illusion substitution from Patchouli through the transmission function of the chat room, and passed it on to him. Roman, and then Roman sent it to Yu Ji through the spirit son, so... there was a scene of Yu Ji struggling helplessly in the jade room.
In fact, if Semiramis is given some time, with her ability, it is entirely possible to see through these illusions, but unfortunately... First of all, Patchouli's magic and her magic belong to different systems, and they need to be carefully analyzed. Only through analysis can we see the difference. Secondly, she was too confident in her own strength and did not think about it at all.
Therefore, when she thought Yu Ji was still struggling in the jade room, Yu Ji had actually broken through the barrier and ran out. When she thought Ishtar had been killed, Ishtar was waiting with Patchouli. People rushed towards the back garden together.
Semiramis' full field of vision was ultimately used by Tang Hao and the others, causing her to lose her correct judgment.
Finally, there is this scene.
"Saber, Rider, Lancer and Caster are all dead. If you want the Holy Grail to appear, you have to kill two more servants. But judging from your behavior just now, one more knight may be enough. However, …”
Tang Hao smiled and walked forward, "You will never have another chance, general!"
"I didn't expect that at the last moment, you would turn defeat into victory..." Amakusa Shiro showed a regretful expression, but then he took a deep breath, held the hilt of the sword tightly, and said in a deep voice, "But it's not the end yet. , the outcome is still uncertain!”
"Still not sure?"
Tang Hao smiled casually, looked at each other proudly, and said loudly, "Although Patchouli and the others haven't arrived yet, it's just a two-on-two situation, but do you think you have a chance? Amakusa, you are not good at fighting. You may not even be able to win the duel with me, and your wife can’t beat my wife.”
"To take a step back, even if we don't mention combat ability, in terms of CP power, my wife and I are only one wedding away, and what about you? You are even still in the stage of secret love... No, I'm afraid it's not even a secret love. , after all, you love the Holy Grail more than you love the Empress. Even if the Empress likes you, you won’t realize it. It’s just like falling flowers, not flowing water.”
"In other words, you can't beat us in a fight. You can't show off your affection to us either. Tell me yourself, what are you going to fight me with?"
"..."
Amakusa Shiro's eyes widened immediately. Is this guy serious?
Although in terms of strength, his side is indeed at a disadvantage, but what the hell is the following paragraph?
assassinshe likes me?
Amakusa was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Semiramis...
"That's nonsense!" However, before he could turn his head, Semiramis's roar rang in his ears. She blushed and stared at Tang Hao fiercely, as if her lungs were exploding with anger.
When Amakusa saw it, he quickly said something bad to himself.
What is Tang Hao best at?
What a mouthful!
Twice, because of his talk, he forcibly changed the direction of the battle. He had clearly said that he could not be allowed to speak, and now he actually...
"Assassin, don't listen to his nonsense. He just wants to distract us. The only thing we can do now is fight!" Amakusa immediately threw the words he heard before behind his ears, gritted his teeth, and started to kill Tang Hao. .
However, at this moment, there was another loud noise from the entrance of the garden.
"Tang Ritian! Get out of here!"
With a voice that was both arrogant and angry, Amakusa Shiro's eyes were filled with joy, Gilgamesh is here!
Damn it, at this time...
Tang Hao turned his head dejectedly and saw a series of noble phantoms flying past the entrance of the garden. The first ones to rush in were Patchouli and the others. Except for Ishtar who was a little depressed, everyone else was in a normal state.
However, although there are many of them, if they really fight head-on with the crazy Jin Shining, casualties will probably be inevitable. And whether it is Ishtar or Hercules, once they are killed, Amakusa's plan will be successful. Therefore, Patchouli only blocked the opponent's Noble Phantasm and did not confront him.
"Tang Ritian!"
Soon, a shining golden figure appeared at the entrance of the garden. He was so angry that he looked like a ferocious beast that chose people to eat.
What on earth did you do to anger him to this extent?
Seeing his appearance, Tang Hao was a little surprised, and at the same time, he also felt a little guilty.
This time, he might not be able to escape anyway.
"I'll help you block him." Yu Ji glanced at Tang Hao, turned around and walked towards Jin Shining.
Tang Hao nodded and quickly shouted to the others: "Don't worry about the golden one for now. Everyone, let's defeat the Amakusa first... no, the Holy Grail first!"
After all, Amakusa is a servant. If he can't kill him for a while, but accidentally kills one by him, the Holy Grail will be activated, and then everything will be over. The Holy Grail that has not yet been activated is just a target. Destroying it first will completely relieve your worries.
"Don't even think about it!"
Upon hearing this, Amakusa Shiro stood in front of the Great Holy Grail, with an expression as if he would commit martyrdom.
"Don't stop thinking that it's not you who has the final say. Big guy, there is no need to talk about morality and justice in this evil way. Let's work side by side... eh?"
Tang Hao shouted passionately, but before he finished speaking, his eyes changed slightly.
Not only him, but also Patchouli, Ishtar, Okita Souji, and Illya, everyone who looked at the Holy Grail showed surprised expressions.
Amakusa Shiro already had a psychological shadow on Tang Hao. He thought that he would have upgraded his solo performance to a group performance, but when he saw Gilgamesh and Yu Ji who were about to fight, he also stopped. Looking at the Holy Grail, even... Even when Semiramis looked at the Holy Grail with surprised eyes, he finally realized that something was wrong.
Subconsciously turned his head
Then he saw that the shell that originally enveloped the Holy Grail like an egg had cracked, and the huge magic power seemed to be overflowing, gradually condensing into a human shape.
This human form kept changing. One day it was Cu Chulainn, another time it was Medea, another time it was Achilles, and then it became Nero. Occasionally, other unknown faces would appear... It wasn't until ten autumns later that it finally stabilized, but no one could recognize who it was at all. There was only a pair of dark eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate everything in the world.
"You..." Amakusa Shiro swallowed and instinctively took a few steps back.
For some reason, when he looked into the other person's eyes, he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if...a mouse had seen a cat.
But the figure coming out of the Holy Grail seemed to be disdainful of Amakusa Shiro. It didn't even look at him and walked straight forward. With every step it took, its white and blurry figure became redder.
After seven steps, the whole person turned red.
Red figure, dark eyes.
Looking at it, Tang Hao suddenly made a thump.
Death of Chi? !
At this moment, the figure who seemed to be Chi Zhi's death suddenly turned his head and stared straight at Tang Hao with a pair of dark eyes.
not good!
In an instant, an unprecedented sense of crisis enveloped Tang Hao. He immediately bent his knees and jumped back without thinking.
He dared to fight Cu Chulainn one on one, he also dared to say that Amakusa Shiro was vulnerable, and even dared to show off in front of Jin Shining, but in the face of the death of Chi, and it was the Death of Chi who came out of the Holy Grail , he couldn't muster the courage to fight with it.
Because this red death is Alaya!
"Only you..." The red figure roared, speaking a language that was not like a human being. In just a moment, it appeared in front of Tang Hao, holding his clothes with both hands.
Chi!
Just when Tang Hao thought he was certain to die, the clothes on his upper body were torn to pieces.
Not kill him, but take off his clothes?
Tang Hao was stunned. If it were the movie set of Shiba Forbidden, he would have suspected that Alaya wanted to attack his overlord, but at this moment...he didn't even have time to have this idea. Just caught a glimpse of something.
Suddenly, his expression suddenly changed.
Because, it was the mobile phone he put on his chest, and it flew out along with the torn clothes.
This guy, could it be...
"Go ahead."
Like a lover's whisper ringing in Tang Hao's ears, he lowered his head subconsciously and saw a huge whirlpool appearing under him at some point. He couldn't take his eyes away from it and gave him a splitting headache.
source!
"No!!"
Panic shouts rang out in the air, Tang Hao looked for them and saw Yu Ji rushing towards him desperately.
"Tang Ritian!"
At the same time, Jin Shining also roared angrily, and golden chains shot out from the halo behind him, flying towards Tang Hao quickly.
This is not an attack, but a rescue.
He knew very well what was under Tang Hao's feet. Once he fell into it, even a magician would not be able to come back alive... He wanted to defeat Tang Hao, he wanted to trample Tang Hao under his feet, but if he could kill Tang Hao, Hao only has himself!
"Ahhhhhhh"
Jin Shining roared, and the Heavenly Locks accelerated violently, finally binding Tang Hao's body before he fell into the whirlpool, and pulled him up.
"In the way!"
But Chi Zhi's death was not for nothing. It grabbed the Heaven's Lock and squeezed it hard, smashing the part that tied Tang Hao's body to pieces. Then it flicked it with its backhand, and the other end of the Heaven's Lock tied the owner Jin Shining. Slam him against a nearby wall.
Even as strong as Gilgamesh, he is vulnerable to this red death.
But his actions had an effect after all. Just as Chi's Death threw Jin Shining away, Yu Ji had already rushed to the edge of the vortex and desperately stretched out her hand forward...
"Give me...hand!"
Tang Hao was still pulled by the power of the whirlpool. He couldn't use any strength in his body and could only raise his arms with difficulty.
Snapped!
Hold on!
Yu Ji's face was filled with joy, but she was in mid-air at the moment, and the suction of the whirlpool was so huge that it would be difficult for her to pull Tang Hao out. She would even be sucked in together.
Tang Hao also realized this and wanted to let go.
"give up……"
"No!"
Yu Ji gritted her teeth tightly, and before Tang Hao let go, she used her strength to move forward, grabbed his wrist, and then seemed to have used her whole life's strength to drag him up.
Tang Hao suddenly felt his body light up, and the suction of the vortex was no longer there.
"Yu..."
In the midst of surprise, Tang Hao lowered his head and saw that half of Yu Ji's body had fallen into the whirlpool.
"That's good." Yu Ji looked at him with an expression of relief on her face, smiling brightly like a girl.
Although she is not good at expressing herself, and although she has never said words such as "I like you and I love you", in her heart, Tang Hao's importance has already surpassed her own.
Even at the cost of his own life, as long as he can save Tang Hao, it will be worth it.
And what did he think?
Rejoicing at being saved? Or are you sad about your own death?
No matter which one, Yu Ji didn't want to see it, so she simply closed her eyes and allowed the endless suction to drag her body to the source...
Snapped!
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound and a clear touch in his hand.
Yu Ji, who was closing her eyes and waiting for death, suddenly opened her eyes, only to see that Tang Hao, who had been thrown out by her, jumped down again and grabbed her hand.
"you……"
"I won't give up either!"
Tang Hao gritted his teeth and held on to Yu Ji's hand, but with his strength, it was simply not enough to drag Yu Ji up, not to mention... two-thirds of Yu Ji's body had already fallen into the whirlpool.
Then, as everyone watched in shock and despair, the huge whirlpool suddenly closed, as if it had never appeared before, and completely disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
And disappearing together with them were Tang Hao and Yu Ji.
"How can it be……"
Everyone at the scene was stunned. Gilgamesh was lying on the ground, with only disbelief in his eyes. Ilya opened his mouth, as if he had memorized his breathing. Ishtar also had a dumbfounded expression. Even the always calm Patchouli exclaimed in surprise.
In fact, whether it was the Holy Grail War or the decisive battle proposed by Jin Shining, she didn't pay too much attention to it, because she knew that there were ways to solve these, but...
That is the root cause!
The root of the moon world!
Tang Hao and Yu Ji were sucked into the source. Is it possible for Tang Hao and Yu Ji to come back alive?
For a moment, she was also panicked.
