They've already fought their way through the Holy Grail War, and you still call them dragons?

This is an effective way to prevent Izanami from further expanding the black divine domain.

To do this, he not only needs to learn the complete Infinite Sword System, but also ensure that he can activate it in battle - after all, learning it and mastering it are two different things.

Just like learning math knowledge does not mean you can solve the problems.

boom!

In the distance, the fire waves raised by Amaterasu were burning half of the dome red, and the exploding sparks were falling along the dome of the barrier.

The next second, there was another rumbling thunder exploding in front, and the dense purple lightning intertwined and gathered into a huge and ferocious bright white electric ball, like a roaring bull's head, colliding and consuming the howling sea of ​​fire and ice rain.

Ugly Gozen had already rushed forward, launching another attack on Amaterasu. Her afterimage swung, so fast that to the ordinary eye, her body twisted and stretched into a long line. The momentum was like the rolling of thunderclouds, and the slender blade split the sea of ​​fire, like a hissing purple lightning that cut through space.

Emiya stared at the other man's back, contemplating his own shortcomings.

In addition to the lack of experience, another hurdle he needs to overcome is determination and will.

The root of the inherent barrier lies in one's own mental landscape, and the basis of the mental landscape is one's own spiritual will.

While recalling the different scenery of the Infinite Blade Works in different world lines, Emiya examined himself and imagined the scenery he wanted to see.

At least one thing is clear: Guardian Red A's path is not suitable for him.

Because I am not a righteous partner at all.

He had no desire to sacrifice his life to protect Tokyo. Though he was hailed as a universal hero who slew dragons and gods, he had no desire to be admired, uphold justice, or become a world-renowned hero. What fueled his battle to become that god was his desire to protect those around him.

God's actions have robbed Eri of a portion of her life, so she must defeat Him. Furthermore, God's intention is to overthrow the entire world, which will inevitably cause her and those around her to lose their original living space, and even threaten their lives. Therefore, she must defeat Him...

The logic is that simple.

It is not about being a hero who saves the people and watches over the world, but about protecting the happiness of those around you and firmly grasping the scenery in front of you.

Imagine Eri tying a yellow headband and a little yellow duck to the branches of the cherry trees in the front yard while cheerfully telling him about Charlotte's daily antics and how she would get mad when she was treated like a child.

Nuonuo's red hair fluttered in the hallway not far away, and she wore large sunglasses casually on her forehead. Xia Mi, as if ordering a little maid, jumped happily to open the main door and welcomed the white-skinned Wazhu in. The latter squinted slightly in the abundant sunlight that she hadn't seen in a long time, and smiled...

Perhaps, the meaning of protection lies in those unspeakable warm scenes.

His thoughts raced like lightning, almost as if a sudden inspiration had struck him, and Emiya finally caught the clearest projection from the depths of his mind—

It wasn't a ruined ironworks with countless gears whirring in the air, nor was it a dry, desolate, and lifeless wasteland. Instead, it was fertile land dyed a honey-colored by the sun, with lush green grass and trees, petals falling indiscriminately to form a pavement, and a tranquil lake rippling...

Emiya breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally see clearly the mental images that had been a little blurry for a long time.

"Huh...I am the bone of my sword——"

Yes, he wasn't the Guardian Emiya, so why should he bear the burden of a boring, mechanical life like a gear? He should cherish the fleeting spring night before him and then move forward bravely.

“…Unaware of begining. Nor aware of the end…”

Suddenly, the flames expanded violently.

It was as if the marks left by countless swords expanded in an instant, the lines stretched and cut through the mirrored world, cutting the picture in the field of vision.

"...Unlimited Blade Works!"

"Huh!?"

Ugly Gozen and Miss Amaterasu, who were in the middle of a confrontation, couldn't help but stop their actions. They subconsciously took two steps back from each other and ended the fight at the same time.

The flashing vast thunder and the torrent of icy magic power also quietly disappeared without a trace.

Because just now, the world has changed.

The flames danced, and the mirror-smooth scenery curled up and dissipated like a fragile piece of paper, quickly collapsing, as if the wonderful scenery of another world was rapidly unfolding.

Ugly Gozen raised his leg and moved his toes in surprise, and the flower petals spread on the soil mixed with the fragrance of green grass were picked up and flew into the air as if they were real things.

——Blending in with the pink petals of flowers flying all over the sky, they flutter freely in the gentle breeze, dancing colorfully.

Clearly visible in the distance were the same flower-covered grasslands and clear skies. Gleaming, forged swords lay embedded in the protruding rocks of the grasslands.

It is like a paradise that can only be seen in dreams, an ideal land in another world that describes all kinds of beautiful images.

"Migu... Is this the scenery you wanted to create with the help of my world? Humans today are truly amazing."

Miss Amaterasu smelled the real fragrance in the air, and her fox ears twitched in pleasure. Her originally irritable mood disappeared, and a sweet smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

"Ah, this is what I want..." Emiya looked around in a trance at this beautiful scenery that belonged only to him.

He suddenly had an urge to never get tired of watching it and to take screenshots of every frame to use as his computer wallpaper.

...Oh, I don't have a camera with me.

Next time you open Unlimited Blade Works, be sure to bring your camera.

"Amazing! I applaud you~" Amaterasu clapped her hands with a smile, and the fullness of her clothes on her chest also bounced. She said, "Don't let me down! The great cause of killing gods is counting on you~"

Please also take care of my personal spiritual freedom and my future happy life!

Amaterasu spoke with a bright smile on her face, but she was actually already starting to cry inside.

It's over. After such a fight, she didn't complete the task of eliminating the powerful enemy for the White King, and she also gave the opponent a great enhancement. Now she really has to accept the punishment of the White King, from body to soul, and turn into a golden-haired, jade-faced nine-tailed fox, right?

Damn it, she actually lost her orthodox human form just like that!

No, no, I must find a high-quality human male to live with if I have the chance in the future. Otherwise, after such a battle, even if the White King is finally killed by the opponent, I will still suffer a great defeat!

Ugly Gozen looked at Amaterasu's chest and compared it with her own, and frowned in dissatisfaction at the obvious difference in their figures.

"Humph, this is a feat the Master can accomplish on his own. Why would he need help from others? If it weren't for you, the Master would have had plenty of ways to get to this point on his own."

She looked like she was protecting her child, and always felt that the fox girl was hypocritical and might have other intentions towards Shirou.

"...Avenger, that's enough."

"Humph."

Emiya dismissed the scenery of Infinite Blade Works. His inherent barrier had consumed a great deal of energy, and now his magic circuits were severely overheated, so he activated it for only a moment before canceling it. Then, the mirror-like barrier space reappeared.

Now, Infinite Blade Works was considered complete... no, a simulation. It was 100% theoretically complete, but the actual execution was unknown. Because this barrier environment wasn't the real world, it lacked the true test—the world's own correction power.

"Tamamo... Amaterasu," Emiya originally wanted to ask, hoping to get more information from her, especially about the question of "there are no gods in this world."

"...Ouch! Sorry, I have to leave!" Miss Amaterasu opposite suddenly looked anxious and hurried, her fox ears shaking angrily. She probably felt that she had not completed the task and God's punishment was about to come, so she was in a gloomy mood and looked miserable.

So not long after, Amaterasu hurriedly lifted the "Water, Sky, Sunlight, Amaterasu Eight Fields Stone" barrier.

The world returned to being shrouded in black fog.

At the same time, a vague feeling of thorns in the back suddenly fell into everyone's heart.

...Maybe it is God's gaze.

When Emiya realized that the strange feeling had dissipated and raised his head again, Miss Amaterasu opposite him had already disappeared.

"Avenger, can you sense the direction the other party left?"

"No, the opponent's true body may have left before the barrier collapsed. What just happened was just an illusion left behind."

"That's it..."

Emiya pondered the many suspicious anomalies he encountered in this world line, from Melyusina, the lack of gods, to the unidentified Xia Mi... Perhaps he had to find a chance to find the truth.

After dealing with the god Izanami.

He glanced at his phone and found a pile of unread messages, including dozens of missed calls and messages from Nuonuo, unread messages from Charlotte, and a missed call from Yuan Zhisheng...

Wow, the barrier set up by Miss Amaterasu has such a good signal shielding effect?

After asking Ugly Gozen to be on guard around him, Emiya lowered his head and began to reply to Nono's message with his fingers clicking.

"...Master, I sense a strange and suspicious aura."

Ugly Imperial Concubine's tone was cold.

Emiya put his phone away and looked around, "Hmm?"

Ugly Imperial Concubine's method of investigation was obviously rough and efficient - purple lightning danced on her armor. At the same time, she reached out and swung Tongzi Qie Angang's blade horizontally, sweeping it into the distance, "The net of heaven is vast!"

The wildly roaring electric grid appeared out of nowhere, blasting open a vast open space in the surrounding ruined streets.

"No, no, no, stop fighting! I'm not a suspicious person, I'm one of us!"

The air was filled with crackling electric lights and dust. A girl who looked very familiar to Emiya wiped the black dust off her shoulders and crawled out from the ground.

"Xia Mi?" Emiya waved his hand, signaling the Ugly Gozen beside him to stop attacking. "Why are you here? No, why did you come back to see me?"

And how can you burrow underground, Tuxingsun!

"I surrender."

Xia Mi raised her hands helplessly and gave a French military salute.

"what?"

"It's a bet, a bet. I lost, so now we're praying for an alliance, hoping that Master Emiya will show some mercy and lend a hand. This time, I really can't hold back. I will cooperate with you wholeheartedly. Don't let that rat in the gutter steal and ascend to the throne of God!"

Xia Mi's adjectives were a mess, and it seemed that she was extremely anxious about the current terrible situation.

"What rat stealing chickens and dogs? Are you talking about Izanami?"

After a moment of hesitation, Emiya immediately realized who Xia Mi was scolding openly and secretly.

"It seems you're no stranger to Izanami? So you're from quite a prominent background? Since we're willing to cooperate, could you please explain to me the whole story of your existence?"

"Oh my Lord Emiya, how come you are so perceptive at a time like this!"

Xia Mi was sweating profusely after being asked by Emiya. If she were to introduce the history of ancient grievances from the White King to the four great monarchs, she might not be able to finish it even if she talked for ten days or half a month.

"Then tell me where the sincere cooperation lies. You can't expect me to cooperate sincerely with someone whose background is unknown, right?"

When Emiya said this, Ugly Gozen's face turned cold. "Master, in my opinion, this person may not be a truly kind person. She has a hidden aura of a Servant, and her true strength is definitely not weak."

Boom!

Lightning exploded in the sky, and the divinity of the Bull-Headed King in Chou Yuzen's body was activated. Rumbling thunder was brewing wildly in the clouds, waiting to strike down fiercely.

"Huh? The power of the Bull-Headed Heavenly King?"

Xia Mi looked up at the sky, a flicker of surprise in her beautiful eyes. She remembered Norton saying that while the Ugly Imperial Heroic Spirit could be summoned, he had only completed the Great Complete System. The true Bull-Headed Heavenly King, the Great Divine Envoy, could not be created due to the lack of the Throne of God.

"Wait, you can already summon the Bull-Headed Heavenly King!"

Hearing that Xia Mi had revealed the secret of the Noble Phantasm, Ugly Gozen's expression grew even colder, "You're not the Master, how do you know these things!?"

It is also impossible that Emiya told the girl, because since being summoned, Uzumaki has been staying by Emiya's side and has never met Xia Mi.

Thinking of this, Chou Yuzen decisively raised his long sword, and a mighty lightning seemed to be about to fall.

She actually couldn't summon the Great Divine Messenger. Although she felt the active divinity of the Bull-Headed Heavenly King, when she really wanted to use the treasure, she still seemed to feel like something was missing.

The knife was raised, but it took a long time to swing down.

"Sure enough, you can't summon it, it's still a little short of it." After all, Xia Mi was a "heroic spirit design project participant" before, so she quickly analyzed the situation of Ugly Gozen.

She was very sure that Ugly Gozen had not been set up to have such active divine power before. Like Hercules, she was just a simple divine servant and could not draw out a higher level of divine power.

However, after being summoned... no, now, Ugly Gozen's condition was obviously different! Norton hadn't interfered at this time, but she had autonomously increased her divinity a little?

This is really puzzling.

The only change in the surrounding environment is this area of ​​black fog - essentially caused by the Nibelungen released by the White King to erode reality.

After all, in order to become a god in reality, the White King did not hesitate to transform the planet and interfere with the World Tree, and also to restore the mythological era to the surface...

Wait, the Age of Gods reappears?

The reality that the White King rewrote in order to ascend to godhood can also benefit his own servants?

If we take back the control of the earth veins from the White King, wouldn't we be able to further enhance the divinity of our servants?

Wow! Xia Mi finally felt like she had played a positive role for once, even though if she only realized it now, she would have already fallen far behind the White King.

But it doesn't matter!

It is never too late to mend!

"Wait, I have something to say, please listen carefully!"

Seeing that although Chou Yuzen failed to summon the great god, he gathered increasingly vast thunder, Xia Mi immediately raised her hands and spoke loudly.

"Brother Emiya! ...Actually, I've come up with a method that will allow your Servant to truly summon a Great Divine Envoy. It just requires some manipulation of the ley lines!"

The words were spoken, but the response was lukewarm.

After Xia Mi finished speaking, she saw that the two masters and servants on the opposite side had no reaction. Shocked? Admired? I asked you to solve a huge problem for you, so that Ugly Gozen could summon a super-large divine bull!
