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

Emiya also hoped that they would continue to maintain such a reckless and unruly attitude towards him.

This is exactly what he wants. They will leak information to him openly.

"Senior~!"

As the Heroic Swordsmen loudly conspired, Mashu took the opportunity to quietly confer with BB and Abbas in a corner with Emiya. BB was leisurely writing and fiddling on the ground, while Mashu and Abbas looked confused, clearly uneasy at being surrounded by their enemies.

"They seemed to have revealed some incredible information just now—a Servant who survived the Holy Grail War?"

"Hmm, it sounds like this burning city is divided into at least two factions—the defeated 'Heroic Swordsmen', and the victorious Servants. For some reason, killing the surviving Servants is their primary goal, and killing others is a secondary purpose."

"Is the primary goal to kill the victorious Servant?" Mashu was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and said, "Are you trying to win back by refusing to admit defeat? Or are you trying to reclaim the Holy Grail?"

Emiya nodded. "It's possible. But no matter what, the situation has been reversed with the appearance of the Heroic Swordsman. The defeated party has turned around and started to hunt down the winner. This distortion of the singularity may be due to this."

Although Abbas wasn't very familiar with the Holy Grail War, he did raise a question after analyzing it. "Since the Heroic Swordsman is also transformed from a Servant, then what mechanism is used for this transformation? If this mechanism doesn't exist in a normal Holy Grail War, then who could have deliberately created it?"

"Hey, you've hit on an interesting point now. They just happened to avoid mentioning that."

Emiya glanced at the red-eyed heroic swordsman over there without saying a word.

"There are four Riders gathered there: Rider Takeda Shingen, Lancer Hozoin Inshun, Berserker Hijikata Toshizo, and Archer Tomoe Gozen. Think about it, of the remaining three Riders, which one would be most likely to tamper with the Holy Grail War and create the Heroic Swordsman mechanism?"

Mashu counted them. "Well... the only ones left are Assassin, Saber, and Caster. If the technique to transform a Servant's soul into a 'Heroic Swordsman' was developed artificially, then it would probably only be possible for an extremely skilled practitioner, right?"

"That's right, the suspicion can basically be locked on Caster."

Emiya said, "As for those who remain, they are most likely the Servants that the Heroic Swordsmen are targeting, or the winners of the Holy Grail War."

He thought to himself that all these servants seemed to be from Japan. In FGO, the one causing trouble in Shimonoseki with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood seemed to be Caster Ashiya Doman. Could it be the same here?

If this is true, Ashiya Doman is likely to have maintained his identity as the apostle of the alien god in FGO. The alien Chaldeas is the work of Odin, so the historical distortion of the Tokyo singularity is undoubtedly Odin's script.

Meanwhile, Emiya was combing through the intelligence, almost revealing the mastermind behind the scenes. BB was writing and drawing on the leyline connection. At one point, she suddenly stood up and announced:

"Hoohoo! Senior, the connection is successful!"

"What!" Emiya looked back in surprise. Mashu also turned around, their reactions remarkably similar. Had they connected to Chaldea's signal? She had just been trying with her shield for ages, and it still wasn't working.

"Oh, it's not Chaldea, it's the ley lines! The ley lines!" BB explained seriously, "Senior, did you know? There's another world hidden behind the twisted ley lines of this city!"

"It seems that this is indeed the case." Emiya was stunned for a moment, recalling the experience of breaking into the Nibelungen "Night Food Field" many times with Eri and others.

The Nibelungen "Night Food Source" is a special Nibelungen built on the basis of the Tokyo Dragon Vein, where countless evil ghosts and monsters transformed from out-of-control blood descendants are imprisoned or wandering.

Combined with the widespread mental instability of Japanese hybrids (prone to depravity and loss of control), anyone who fell into depravity in ancient times was thrown into the Yomiuri Origin, making it practically equivalent to a massive tomb. It's safe to say that any famous figure or ghost from ancient Japan can be found there.

Emiya raised an eyebrow, so this is the reason why all of you in this Holy Grail War are locals?

"——Senior, think about it again. There are so many humans in the whole city, and it's strange that not a single one is missing. Aside from the White King Herzog and the Heroic Swordsmen, it's also strange that there are no remaining Servants around."

"And those Heroic Swordsmen just said that their main purpose for coming here wasn't us, but the Servants who won the Holy Grail War. In other words—"

BB's words woke the dreamer up.

"—The leyline we're looking for, the 'Night Food Field', is where the Servants and other surviving humans are hiding." Emiya suddenly raised his head. "You said the leyline is connected. Which world are you connecting to?!"

"Yes, thanks to Ms. Mashu who has been debugging the channel frequency for most of the day, I was able to successfully complete the connection with this accumulated data!"

BB spoke without hesitation, and it was obvious that she had not put any effort into restoring contact with Chaldea. Instead, she deliberately hid the matter and misled Mashu to do private work for her.

"Good boy, I knew you weren't being honest again!" Emiya raised his eyebrows and pretended to raise his hand to punish BB. The latter clutched the hem of her skirt tightly as if by reflex, hid behind Mashu with tears in her eyes, pretending to be pitiful, and weakly defended herself:

"Wow, BB-kun actually means well. At least this will win you a teammate. Senior, you big badass!"

Mashu's heart softened as she listened, and she tried to dissuade him, "Emiya-senpai, I'm not angry at BB-san's actions. Besides, getting that Servant's help will also help change the dangerous situation."

Emiya said unhappily, "The current situation is not as dangerous as you think. BB, this is just your old habit - you've fallen into mischief and need a beating!" After that, his hand passed the blockade at a speed that even Mashu couldn't see.

When Mashu came to her senses, she looked back and saw Baby squatting on the ground and pretending to cry because he was hit.

"..."

Abbas felt that he was inexplicably powerless and could not get a word in, so he could only look around.

Suddenly, his eyes widened, "Stop! Look, a new Servant suddenly appeared!"

The new person who appeared was a woman dressed as a general from the Heian period. Her extraordinary temperament undoubtedly made her a servant, a unique feature of ancient heroes.

She has a pretty face and a gentle demeanor. She appears among the Takeda Cavalry and the Heroic Swordsmen. Judging from her position, it seems that she is there to protect Emiya and the others.

Emiya's mouth dropped open in surprise. This familiar figure...could it be—

"Finally forced you out! The head of the Genji clan!" Takeda Shingen's voice became excited.

"Damn Genji!" Tomoe Gozen's anger burned even more fiercely.

"I have no choice but to come. I have done my best to save so many people in Tokyo, and I cannot abandon this consistent policy."

The Genji woman said.

"Yes, that's the only way! That's the only way!" Takeda Shingen's red eyes brimmed with joy. "Just like in the Warring States Period where I lived, there were many generals who forced civilians to fight as vanguards for their foot soldiers when conquering territories. The same tactic can be applied in this era as well!"

"Only by ensuring the safety of outsiders (Emiya and the others) can we force you to show up and rescue them, Saber! After all, taking the initiative to kill them will actually free you from being passive and give you more control. Surrounding them without attacking is the best strategy!"

The arrogant voices of the heroic swordsmen echoed across the battlefield, their words acting as if they had the initiative in control of the situation.

Emiya: "..." Kill us? Aren't you guys overestimating yourselves and looking down on me?

"I will never let you hurt the child!"

The female Servant Minamoto no Raikou raised the katana, and her motherly attitude exposed her identity. "—You are from the Chaldea Observatory, right? Go! I will hold them off."

The last sentence was directed to Emiya and the others.

"No, let me do it, Raikou."

Emiya stepped forward, "After all, it was you who helped me last time."

Minamoto no Raikou opened his beautiful eyes wide, "You are..."

So familiar! So familiar! He actually has his own aura! Where does that familiar feeling come from?

Armor gleaming with purple lightning appeared out of thin air. Donned on Emiya's body, the divine power of Susanoo, one of the Three Noble Sons, manifested itself, expanding the size of the lightning armor continuously, one hundred meters, two hundred meters...

It transformed into a giant of lightning hundreds of meters tall.

With a light step, the earth shook violently. In an instant, the ground was shaking and the mountains were trembling. The war horses screamed in shock. The expressions of the heroic swordsmen on the ground also changed drastically. They felt the heavy oppression.

"Come on, just like you said before, come and kill me!" The lightning giant "Susanoo" declared, and his voice sounded like rolling thunder.

The heroic swordsmen fell silent.

Emiya:? Give me some reaction.

I still like the way you were talking loudly and acting rebelliously just now.

Chapter 316 That Year, I Was Like a Minion

“What kind of… is this…?”

Seeing the lightning giant that almost required them to stretch their necks to see the whole picture, the heroic swordsmen were all amazed and horrified.

Takeda Shingen, who originally had a strong leadership style, opened his mouth wide. He never expected that his miscalculation came from his disrespect for outsiders.

Looking at the towering Susanoo Giant, even if one has never witnessed its mighty attack, just from its unparalleled divine power, one can already imagine the huge gap between the enemy and us.

The Shield Armor worn by Takeda Shingen is undoubtedly a top-level defensive artifact that can make any ordinary attack invulnerable to it, and it also allows the wearer of it to exert a defensive power comparable to that of a city with his physical body.

But this thing also depends on the object of comparison! It can barely handle attacks from other artifacts, but using it against a true god is too presumptuous - how many hits can it withstand? Can it even withstand one?

"Now, you have been surrounded by me alone, why don't you surrender quickly!" Emiya shouted with a momentum that overwhelmed thousands of troops.

It was not known if it was the influence of Indra's divine power, but the Thunder Giant's roar was like thunder exploding in their ears. If it were an ordinary person, they would have already been deafened, dizzy and confused by the god's roar, but the Heroic Swordsman was relatively unaffected.

For example, Hijikata Toshizo, whose thinking logic was a bit more human, flew into a rage after hearing this. "How arrogant! The Shinsengumi is here, how dare those rats act so rashly!"

After saying that, he rushed forward very bravely.

He probably thought of Emiya as the White King Herzog. Even if he couldn't defeat him, he would just die. After a few seconds, he would be a brave man again. He would eventually be able to defeat him if he continued to fight.

"Berserker! Now is not the time to engage in a head-on confrontation. We should avoid the enemy's attack and observe carefully before taking any action!"

Takeda Shingen tried his best to dissuade them, and with great effort he managed to pull the noisy Hijikata Toshizo onto his horse. He felt extremely frustrated. The encirclement strategy had been executed perfectly, but in the end, they had surrounded a great god. Now, they were the ones being surrounded.

Judging from the attack Emiya had just launched against Hozoin Inshun, and considering his current form, maintaining his human form and emitting sword flashes was probably just his initial state. Those sword flashes were just casual strikes, and the current one was his full strength...

Takeda Shingen's thoughts were working rapidly. In fact, what they should do now is not to flee in panic or rush in mindlessly, but to deal with Emiya carefully, use their own immortality to consume him desperately, and wait until the opponent is exhausted and reveals a flaw, and then give him a thundering blow.

"Takeda Cavalry Regiment, listen to your orders—"

Just as he was about to issue the order, Susanoo exerted its strength again, and the hundreds-meter-long divine sword danced in the giant's hand, turning into a violent natural disaster that swept away obstacles.

Rumble!

A huge and mighty sword energy swept across, and the continuous flames in the mountains of Yamanashi Prefecture were directly blown out. When the sword tip touched the ground, the Takeda cavalry corps that had cut off the retreat of Mashu and others suffered heavy losses under the sword's killing blow.

The flaming war horses were crushed into pieces, and the fully armored warrior riders were annihilated into nothingness the first moment they touched the light of the magic sword. Countless pieces of earth and rocks rolled, countless slopes were cut off, the ground collapsed, the mountains were destroyed, and the warriors died!

"..."

Takeda Shingen was confused for a moment. He was about to give orders, but in the blink of an eye he found himself left alone.

Fortunately, he recovered quickly and just shouted, "Archer! Go!"

There was no time to mourn the passing of his invincible Takeda Cavalry Regiment. Next, Takeda Shingen and his men needed to move away in time. It would be too disadvantageous to be attacked at such a close distance.

So the heroic swordsmen fled in panic, and now they became the "rats" they called themselves.

However, if you simply think that everything will be fine if you keep your distance, you are underestimating Emiya.

"Those who stand in my way will fall face down! Divine might draws the sword: Heavenly Cloud Sword!"

Like raging waves and mountain torrents, the sword light gathered and flew out, shining brightly!

At this moment, Takeda was still busy summoning war horses, letting Tomoe Gozen and Hozoin Tsujun ride them respectively. After all, running on two legs is far slower than Takeda Shingen's four-legged mount which is "as fast as the wind".

However, at the moment when Emiya swung the divine sword, time seemed to slow down. Takeda Shingen opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He clearly saw Hozoin Inshun grabbing the saddle with a ferocious look on his face, and Tomoe Gozen pulling the reins with full concentration...

However, the sword light behind them was rapidly approaching from a distance, expanding and magnifying. Their slow and futile movements were powerless to resist.

The next moment, the field of vision was filled with the white aurora. The extremely restless and endless energy in the vastness collided with each other, destroying the range of perception and quickly surpassing a certain peak. Even the hearing seemed to be damaged, making the world that should have been full of noise and complexity silent.

In this silent moment of doom, the destructive sword force swept across all things, releasing a terrifying ancient magic impact, crushing everything equally, tearing the horses and heroic swordsmen into pieces. The whole process was like scrubbing a tiny stain on a canvas, gently wiping it off the map of Yamanashi Prefecture along with the continuous mountain peaks!

"..."

When Takeda Shingen was resurrected and regained his vision, he found himself lying in a deep pit where no sunlight could be seen. The surrounding terrain was relatively open. It was more like a huge canyon split by a sword than a pit. The warm inner layer of soil seemed to be rolling with noisy underground heat currents.

Fortunately, this is Yamanashi Prefecture, which was Kai in ancient times. Takeda Shingen was summoned to his homeland, and he naturally knew the situation here very clearly. According to his familiarity and perception of his hometown, this seems to be the magma layer near the volcano?

The gurgling sound of the water became louder and louder.

Takeda Shingen stood up suddenly. It was not a good place to stay for long! The rock formations were probably cracking and the magma was about to erupt!

He summoned his mount, Black Cloud, and after mounting it, he spurred it on at breakneck speed, galloping up the cliff face as if it were flat ground, defying the laws of mechanics. All the while, he nervously watched for the other Heroic Swordsmen. If he didn't react in time and fell into the lava tide, it would be hilarious!

Not long after, Takeda Shingen rode his horse to the top of the canyon, and a super rift valley hundreds of kilometers long appeared before his eyes, shocking the Tiger of Kai who had never seen the world.

He recalled his perception of Emiya and couldn't help but click his tongue.

Why the hell did that guy look like a human at first? How could he unleash the power of a true god with just a few gestures?

If he had such superb combat power when the Holy Grail War began in Tokyo... Takeda Shingen couldn't help but start to imagine:

That day, he put his hands in his pockets and didn't know what an opponent was.

On that day, his competitors stood like minions, bowed their heads and raised their hands in surrender, saying that since Great God Takeda was so strong, why was he still fighting in the Holy Grail War? They might as well just surrender.

Just as Takeda Shingen's confidence was shattered and he began to daydream, a figure suddenly appeared before him. "Rider, did you encounter the outsiders from the observatory? They looked badly beaten."

Takeda Shingen's expression turned ugly. "It's you again, the sorcerer... Abe Haruaki!"

"Hehe, yes, you guys... need a little help, just like when you were transformed by the 'Heroic Swordsman' before."

----

"Are you... a human? Or a god? Or neither?"

Saber…that is, Minamoto no Raikou, asked tentatively.

Emiya, who was watching the Heroic Swordsman go from afar, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this.

If he is neither a god nor a human, how could he be a god-man?

Just now, she, Mashu and others witnessed a shocking scene. The mountains and rivers seemed to be crushed by the hand of God, and all the obstacles were swept away.
