Filial piety: the supreme emperor

A young man wearing a high-tech protective suit with a dark background and white stripes, and wearing anti-gravity shoes, stood on a battlefield made up of high-tech ruins. He was analyzing the massive amount of data transmitted to him by the Holy Grail through the neural network.

The boy was thin and his limbs seemed too weak, as if a breeze could blow him down. He used his ability to reflect all harmful electromagnetic radiation and only absorb the tiny amount of light and heat energy needed to sustain life. This made his hair and skin appear sickly pale, and his nearly transparent pupils reflected a blood-red light, like the cold light of an electronic device.

"...Tsk."

After a long silence, the boy uttered a disdainful sound, put his hands in the pockets of his tactical vest, and his face was full of disdain. He did not sneer at the Holy Grail that could fulfill any wish. In fact, he also longed for the power of the Holy Grail. If it could help him surpass the "strongest" and reach the realm of "invincibility", he would not have to run around in various advanced laboratories and would not have to participate in the boring "superpower evolution plan".

The boy has long been known as "the first superpower in Academy City", but he pursues "invincibility" for a simple reason: because "invincibility" is determined before the battle, while "the strongest" needs to be verified through actual combat. In other words, his title of "the strongest" will only attract endless challenges, which was not his original intention.

He despised the rules of the Holy Grail War, especially the confrontation between the red and black teams. Although the duel between Heroic Spirits was attractive, the boy was unhappy when it came to teamwork. This forced alliance made him feel like he was participating in a virtual simulation war.

He firmly believed that with his strength, he did not need any teammates - in such a battle, he alone was enough! Therefore, although his eyes were intertwined with murderous intent and madness, and the corners of his mouth were often twisted with despair towards the world, he could never become a real villain, a real antagonist.

He never considered attacking his teammates, nor did he think of using them, let alone how to deal with his teammates after defeating the enemy. Indifference is just his protective color, in order not to hurt others; darkness is just an appearance, which cannot cover up his deep desire for justice.

He is the strongest man in Academy City, with the class rank of Archer. His code name is also his real name, Accelerator.

"Hehe, it seems that this is the secret that my brother has kept from me, right?"

The girl crossed her hands behind her back and strolled among the ruins, laughing crisply.

"Brother, I can understand some of your secrets, but isn't it too much to make me worry so much——"

The girl cleverly omitted the second half of the sentence, making the whole sentence meaningful. Although there was no one around, her words still maintained her usual style.

"Miss, the surrounding environment has been fully scanned."

At this moment, a ball of liquid metal ejected from the ruins and instantly transformed into a mechanized mercury maid, reporting to the girl.

"Well, it's just a hunch, but I have a feeling that my brother will appear in the enemy camp..."

The girl complained to the mercury maid.

It must be mentioned that many prophets, including Black Jeanne, have confirmed that women's intuition is extremely accurate and effective in this Holy Grail War.

"...Hmm, so does that mean that the brother is going to [betray his lovely sister (Waver blood Reines)]?!"

Oops, that's awful.

This remark was enough to make Gray cry. The girl's choice of words was obviously inappropriate. If El-Melloi II were here, he would probably feel stomach cramps because of her inappropriate words and lament the ill-fated fate of his family.

There is no doubt about the girl's identity, it is Lanis El-Melloi Archibald, but there is still a question to be answered - why was Lanis summoned?

Although she is an excellent magician, as a Heroic Spirit, her deeds are not enough to be transformed into a Noble Phantasm. Even the ceremonial garment inherited by the Archibald family [Supreme Ceremonial Gear: Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid] cannot compete with a Noble Phantasm. A Heroic Spirit without a Noble Phantasm is at best a combat robot with slightly stronger defense.

Wait, does Lanis really not have a Noble Phantasm?

Check out Lanis's servant panel and you will find that the Noble Phantasm column is not blank, and the Noble Phantasms in it have reached B++ level.

After being summoned by the Holy Grail, Lanis has become a Pseudo-Servant, just like El-Melloi II. No matter from which angle you look at it, her B++-level Noble Phantasm is far superior to El-Melloi II's C-level [Eight-Diagram tactics], which better reflects the degree of integration between her and the Pseudo-Servant.

"I feel the breath of fate."

A male voice echoed in Lanis's heart. It was the follower who lent his power to her.

According to the norm of Heroic Spirits, possession is usually dominated by a Heroic Spirit, such as Jeanne d'Arc in FA, or a goddess flying in the sky. But this Heroic Spirit is different, he is similar to Zhuge Liang who possessed El-Melloi II.

He said, "In modern ways, it's only natural to hand over consciousness to the possessor," but deep down, he was thinking, "This will allow for better planning."

Of course, he is not a rational monster like Zhuge Liang, so he will take the initiative to talk to Lanis, unlike Zhuge Liang, who will only speak if El-Melloi II asks.

"What's wrong, Master Sima Yi?"

Yes, this heroic spirit was Sima Zhongda, a brave warrior and politician during the Three Kingdoms period, as well as a fierce rival of Zhuge Liang and a man of wisdom and strategy.

"..."

No one knows what their conversation was, but one thing is certain.

Lanis El-Melloi Archibald will be active in this Holy Grail War as a Rider. I'm afraid El-Melloi II will really have a perforated stomach when he returns this time.

“Hahahahahahahaha! Good, great good! Although it seems extremely strange in multiple dimensions, the moment I have been waiting for has finally arrived~!”

In the ruins of this interstellar city, a girl wearing a military cap with a star pattern on her head and a black tactical uniform stood with her hands on her hips and laughed.

The reason for this is that she appears again in the Star Cup War!

——This is enough to prove that she is more loved by the citizens of the universe than that Star Slayer!

However, this is understandable, after all, the public's insight is as bright as the stars~!

There was a gleam in the girl's eyes. She put the photon sword in her hand back into place, and then took out a quantum communicator from somewhere.

"Hey, is the princess of the Weak Star Slashers here? Is she here? Is she here?"

After shouting, she closed her eyes slightly, her expression focused, and she listened attentively to the fluctuations in the surrounding space. However, naturally, no one responded here.

"Hmm, he's not here, as expected."

After a moment, she opened her eyes and the tension on her face relaxed. She breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the guy was really gone, lest someone suddenly rush at her with a sword at superluminal speed.

"Okay, let me see what the new mission is this time... Um, Star Cup War?"

Only after confirming once again that Okita Souji was indeed not there did the girl begin to seriously review the information that the Star Cup had implanted in her mind.

In fact, as a Servant, the girl has no special wishes.

After all, she had accomplished almost everything she wanted to do in her lifetime. She had originally planned to retire and enjoy a leisurely cup of tea under the stars with Ranmaru and the others.

Unfortunately, she encountered the Honnoji Incident before that. If she had to make a wish, she would only wish for a peaceful life.

But that's so boring.

The girl was not a novice in the Star Cup War. She had held the Star Cup before. Although her memory was a little fuzzy, she knew that she did not use the Star Cup as a wishing machine. In her opinion, the Star Cup had better uses, such as weapons. Yes, weapons were a good idea!

Frankly, she was so nonchalant about the Star Cup because it was nothing new to her. Perhaps surprisingly, she could always find one at every interstellar event.

It seems like a secret that shouldn't be told has been revealed, so everyone should forget the second half of the sentence.

"Hmm? So there are teammates this time..."

As she learned more about the Star Cup War, the girl's expression became more serious.

Not wanting the Star Cup is one thing, but being able to win it is another.

Besides, the faction showdown looks pretty exciting!

"Well, let me go meet them first, and then I'll start my cosmic martial arts! Hahahahahaha!"

Finally, the girl's face once again bloomed with a wild smile. Although her Noble Phantasm protected her mind from the frenzy, the characteristics of her class still had a subtle effect on her.

The girl is one of the three heroes of the Warring States Period and is known as the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven.

Her class is Berserker, and her real name is beyond doubt—

——NOBU.

cough.

It should be——Oda Nobunaga.

=================================================================== ==========================

“1、2、3、4、5、6。呼——“

After passing through the magic vortex, Mu Yi first checked the number of the sand sculpture group members this time. Although the accident in the last possession trial was probably due to Jotaro Kujo misjudging it as a stand attack, Mu Yi was still a little uneasy. Fortunately, this time the situation of the mysterious heroine X being kicked out did not happen again, and all the sand sculpture group members were in place.

“What are you counting?”

The first person to ask the question was naturally Saitama. Even though he joined the group chat, he rarely paid attention to the live broadcast of the battle, so he was naturally unaware of the last accident.

"The group leader is confirming the number of people, but I'm more interested in the job allocation this time."

The one who answered Saitama was Nanaya Shiki. He spread his hands and continued with a little helplessness.

"This is a completely random assignment - why is Kageyama the Lancer? Does the Star Cup want him to use his super powers to create a giant energy gun and wield it?"

"I'm actually quite curious, but now that you put it, it seems reasonable."

Mu Yi stroked his chin and pointed at Nanaya Shiki.

"You are different, aren't you? I don't see how you can adapt to being an Archer. And Kenjiro is the same..."

Mu Yi stopped talking halfway because when he looked at Kenshiro, he unexpectedly discovered that Kenshiro had materialized an open-top interstellar jeep that could carry many people.

It appeared—it was the move of Fist of the North Star!

Beidou Jeep!

"Let me correct you, group leader. Archer is not a Heroic Spirit that is limited to using bows and arrows. Archer is a class that excels at long-range attacks. The key is not the high or low ability value, but the possession of powerful shooting weapons or special abilities related to shooting weapons."

As Nanaya Shiki spoke, he took out his Nanaya knife from somewhere. The next moment, the knife disappeared from his hand and appeared on a huge rock in the distance. The rock was hit by the knife, cracked at the center, and collapsed with a loud bang.

“Interesting…”

Uchiha Sasuke's eyes flickered. After joining the chat group, he decided to cooperate with the "group members". It's not a bad thing for teammates to show their strength. What's more, the moment when Nanaya Shiki threw the knife just now, even his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan couldn't see through it.

"Lancer is different. I have studied him. His strict requirements are second only to Saber. He has excellent all-round abilities and must be highly agile. Naturally, he is good at using his weapon's wide attack range and high-speed one-hit-and-run tactics. Kageyama, what is your agility?"
