However, the next second, Emiya's cell phone suddenly rang urgently.

Then, he actually saw that the caller ID was from Finger of the expedition team. The other party called him using the contact information he had exchanged before the operation:

"Heroes, help us! A very scary guy has appeared. If you don't come, Archer and I will be beaten to death!" Finkel's voice was full of terror, like a pig about to be slaughtered.

Emiya's face instantly changed color.

boom!

At the same time, the thick dark clouds in the distance brought down clear and terrifying thunder and lightning, and there was an explosion of magical power that was as turbulent as a storm, like a destructive beam of light.

----

a few minutes ago.

"Hey, Archer, can you help me look for it? I don't know where that snake tail flew off to!"

Finkel looked very excited as he jumped up and down near the huge corpse of the Yamata-no-Orochi, completely losing the timid attitude he had when he fought the snake just now.

Hercules had no choice but to follow his master in making trouble. According to common sense in modern society, relying on manpower for transportation was already very outdated and inefficient. It would be better to call a group of tow trucks instead.

"Master, do you want the Murasakibara sword on the snake's tail? If you walk a little further into the snake's body from this direction, you should be able to see it."

"What are you waiting for, GOGOGO! Here comes the spoils!"

Finkel felt that he was Indiana Jones, the Raider of the Lost Ark, who had successfully survived a fantastic and dangerous journey. Being able to get good things made the suffering he endured in this Holy Grail War worth it.

And now, hahaha, that super magic sword Murakumo that can cut through iron like mud... no, kill servants and dragons like cutting melons and vegetables, will soon be his trophy!

Damn, such a fine sword must not be embezzled by the principal and the equipment department...

Soon, Fingel spotted the target with his sharp eyes. He took two steps at a time and eagerly grabbed the sharp snake tail.

Suddenly, Finkel's eyes blurred and the thing disappeared, leaving him with nothing.

“……?” Who the hell took away my spoils!

He looked up and saw a woman with green hair and a snake-like tail suddenly appear in front of him.

Hey, it seemed like there was no one here just now...

"Haha, humans are so bold, calling my sword a trophy?"

The woman actually had four hands. She grabbed the snake's tail with one hand, and the light and shadow changed. In the blink of an eye, the snake's tail and bones turned into an ancient green long sword.

"You, who are you—" Fingel suddenly felt that things were getting serious. Not good, very bad. The woman said that it was her own sword. Could she be...

"This is disrespectful and must be punished." The woman with the snake tail slowly raised the hilt of the sword.

"Master, run!"

Hercules reacted extremely quickly. The moment he saw the other party's movement, he rushed over quickly and knocked Fingle away with his elbow!

boom!

The cyan longsword was like the might of heaven, drawing a great deal of thunder and lightning from the sky. The sword energy was as violent as a tsunami and flood. Hercules sensed the ancient divinity of this land from the blade.

It was a god! A true god-level attack!

The sword light shot up into the sky, and the attack that could have annihilated Fingel was borne by Hercules instead.

"Huh? Are you the Heroic Einherjar from the throne? Interesting, you endured such damage for your Master, yet you're still able to remain standing."

The female deity was slightly surprised. Her casual sword strike should have completely destroyed nearly half of Hercules' body. Most of his head, right shoulder, and even his waist were completely gone, but... the spiritual reaction did not disappear.

After a few seconds, the missing body parts of Hercules began to "grow" automatically under the influence of the "Twelve Trials".

"...Oh, is it the curse of restoration?"

The spirit weighed the sword in his hand and said, "I wonder how many more blows you can withstand?"

“…” Hercules, who had just recovered, felt a sinking feeling in his heart and remained silent.

It's no use anymore. That green long sword is different from the Yamata no Orochi. It is definitely a genuine artifact. If it is killed once, it will lose at least 5 lives. If it is hit by the sword for the second time, it will be eliminated directly.

"Just kidding, your reaction is really funny. Happy, happy."

The god seemed to have some evil taste. After chopping Hercules once and observing him, he no longer paid attention to him.

She swung her serpent tail, ignored Hercules' vigilance, and swam to a nearby high ground, looking out at the scarred land shrouded in black fog and covered with traces of destruction from frequent battles.

It seems that this is a scenery that is more attractive to the gods.

"Oh, this is what humans call 'calling for help'?"

The gods witnessed the arrival of Emiya and the others.

As her gaze wandered, she suddenly focused on Ugly Gozen. "You are... a guy who controls lightning in human form, mixed with some other kind of existence, right?"

"Who are you--?"

Ugly Gozen, who was standing next to Emiya, opened his eyes wide in disbelief. A god... that was undoubtedly a real god like Bull-Headed Heavenly King!

Moreover, she could only summon the great messenger who carried the power of the gods, but what was before her was undoubtedly the real body of the gods!

She thought the matter was over, but then a complete deity suddenly appeared. She had manifested herself in the form of Ugly Gozen specifically for this deity? How could this be possible?

But what surprised her even more was that Emiya next to her revealed the other person's real name:

"Are you... the divine Ibuki-douji?"

"Oh? There's actually a little human who knows me?"

Ibuki held his sword and raised his lips. "It's a pity that your attempts to get close to me won't work. Words alone won't stop me from taking action."

"action?"

"Exactly. Humans, your quest for the World Tree is too frantic, bringing about all sorts of disastrous consequences. Greed is boiling over, chaos reigns in the human world, and even more catastrophic consequences than the converging world lines."

"I will use the Great Serpent God's spirit body to protect the planet and correct this mistake."

Ibuki stared at the drastically changing expressions of everyone present:

"...The one and only Holy Grail War that took place in 2004 AD was a historical error. This is the origin of all distortions, the root cause of the burning and bleaching of this planet."

Chapter 243 Odin: Things are changing, and I have the advantage! (Two in one)

ah--?

This was the only complex feeling that Emiya and his companions had after listening to Ibuki Douji's brief speech.

Although it was just one word, "Ah?", it contained confusion, shock, bewilderment, bewilderment...all kinds of emotions intertwined with each other.

My mood is like a roller coaster.

However, the reactions of the others were more inclined to be confused by the words in Ibuki's words. Only Emiya was the most thoughtful, with countless thoughts popping up in his mind in a short period of time:

After hearing Xia Mi's information, Emiya had already prepared this world line. The truth was an unknown Type-Moon Scissor Phenomenon, or another world unrelated to the Type-Moon Universe.

As a result, Ibuki Douji's words on the spot instantly made Emiya dream and return to the FGO world line.

No way, sister, are there also Lao Gai and alien gods in this world?

And judging from Ibuki's tone, these two mysterious beings are also involved in the 04 Holy Grail War, just like the FGO plot that Emiya knows?

There’s nothing I can do, there’s really nothing I can do now… Emiya thought.

There is only one Holy Grail War in the FGO world line, which also took place in 2004. Although they did fight, Emiya would rather not fight this time.

Because this means a future world full of disasters... Even if Emiya really doesn't want to be a partner of justice this time, once faced with a crisis that is big enough to affect the entire world, he has to stand up and take positive action.

Although he had previously declared, "Even if it means making enemies with the whole world, he must protect those around him," but when the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact? If the world really does end, if he doesn't do something, he will be the one who suffers in the end.

Emiya knew too well the meaning of the phrase "the world is a huge makeshift team". The future of mankind must never be pinned on the big figures in those aristocratic families.

Tiao Tiao thought a lot, but the most important thing at the moment was not these future developments, but to find ways to deal with Ibuki Douji's actions.

"Ibuki-dono, you want to correct the mistakes of the Holy Grail War...right? How exactly do you want to correct them?"

"Oh..."

Ibuki Douji gazed at Emiya at ease, his gleaming pupils sweeping across the crowd. His eyes reflected the scarred city and streets, even the distant Tokyo Bay, where the flames of war raged on and engulfed the waves of shrines.

"Are you trying to extract information and buy time? Even if you ask me as eloquently as you can, I still don't know who will cause the disaster in the future."

"Eh? You don't know?"

"Oh, right! It's really a headache."

Ibuki Douji's fingertips gently stroked the blade pattern of the Ame Murakumo sword, and a snake-scale-like halo flowed on the sword.

"Simply out of their survival instinct, they arbitrarily assigned me this scavenging mission without informing me of the culprit's identity. This naive and crude judgment of this Holy Grail War was a mistake... So, there's nothing I can do."

The blue-haired deity suddenly clasped his other two hands together and said something shocking:

"Simply destroy all of you—everyone involved in the Holy Grail War, and this human city—all at once!"

Ibuki's tone was relaxed, but the intention of her actions was terrifying - as the planet's agent, she was willing to bring great disasters to human civilization in order to protect the survival of the planet!

To put it more bluntly, it was a literal "one-size-fits-all" approach. By striking without hesitation, no hidden dangers would be left untouched. While she didn't know how to solve the problem, she could eliminate anyone who might cause it!

"destroy……"

Everyone was in a trance again.

Especially the little sister Charlotte, her face has turned pale and she is about to be unable to bear it. The legendary gods have come to reality again, destroying the whole city and killing the wrong people rather than letting them go... The promised wish reward has not appeared, but the death crises are emerging one after another!

Emiya wasn't surprised by this at all. Even if it was Alaya, not to mention Gaia, the planet's restraining force, he would still send out Guardians to carry out the annihilation mission...

As for whether to avoid killing the wrong person when completing the task, it depends on the moral integrity of the executor.

Generally speaking, even a guardian like Red A would choose to sacrifice the minority to save the majority. As for Black A, he is a ruthless character who can kill in order to complete the task.

Beside her, Nono's temples throbbed uncontrollably. She thought of Izanami, the false god who had previously disregarded human life in pursuit of divine enlightenment. So, were all true gods like this? They truly weren't human at all!

By the way, they are not human beings.

"what happened?"

Ibuki Douji looked at the despair on everyone's faces before noticing the unusual behavior of several Servants present. He ruthlessly revealed the current situation:

"Hmm, is that so? The Greater Holy Grail system has collapsed, and the spiritual bases of you Heroic Elves have become unstable. It looks like you'll be out of action in just a moment."

"Then you should have realized that even if you delay, it will only lead to a slow death."

"What a shame! If that happens, you will no longer be able to hinder me. I will become a disaster to all things in the world, and also a disaster to you."

"Allow you to revere. Allow you to be in awe."

Ibuki Douji raised the blade of the Ame-no-Kuroku sword, "Allow you to sacrifice yourself, or - struggle."

"and many more!"

"Oh?"

Ibuki Douji looked at the woman who was speaking with a hint of interest.

The raised sword tip was casually tilted, and the green sword light flew past the side of the crowd, turning into a dazzling stream of light that flew high into the sky, chopping the two crows flying in the distance into ashes.

To be honest, she felt very bored about the mission assigned by the planet. Gods are different from humans and do not see any point in managing this human world. However, humans' struggle for survival and the things that shine in the struggle can still temporarily attract her.

Nuonuo wiped the sweat from his forehead and announced loudly, "Who said the Holy Grail system has collapsed? The Holy Grail is still here!"

"Nono, what are you talking about—"

Emiya wanted to ask back subconsciously, but was surprised to see Nono pointing at him without hesitation.

"I can also get the Holy Grail, right? I've almost figured it out by now. The reason I gained divinity is because I'm a replica of that guy, right?"

Nono rarely mentioned her cloned origins, but now, for some reason, she mustered up the courage to speak out:

"That false god transformed the Holy Grail War into a ritual to ascend to godhood, but somehow I was granted divinity. So I should be considered one with him. Emiya, you said that false god was the Greater Holy Grail's core. So, wouldn't it be the same if I took over now?"

"Oh... a self-sacrifice plot?" Ibuki smiled and put down his sword involuntarily, watching the performance.

"The Greater Holy Grail? Are you crazy!?"

Emiya firmly denied it, raising his voice, "Providing the magic power for one Servant is completely different from providing the magic power required for multiple Servants! Even if you become a demigod, it won't work."

The amount of magic power consumed by Melyusina alone is already exaggerated enough, not to mention taking on the responsibility of serving as the Greater Holy Grail and bearing the magic power required for all the servants present to manifest into the world... If she only has to pay the magic power consumption of one more Hercules, it will be enough for Nono to drink a pot!

"..."

Nono, whose idea was rejected at once, trembled his lips and wanted to say something.

At this time, Emiya is still outputting:
