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

Leviathan had seen this trick before, and he couldn't let the explosion destroy the research institute where he had poured a lot of resources. If the impact caused by the explosion spread unrestrainedly, his losses would become greater and greater!

The ancient dragon characters were quickly recited from his mouth, and the water elements in the world rushed over, turning into pure white waves composed of ice that covered everything in sight!

The ice became increasingly condensed and compressed, forming an extremely high density and hardness. The huge icy white waves separated the entire middle and lower buildings from the upper area, and covered and swallowed the fantasy collapse that was about to erupt. It froze together with the middle and lower layers, and quickly sank to the bottom of the water body with its astonishingly huge mass.

However, after a while, this seemingly solid huge ice block produced terrible cracks at the moment of the explosion, and the light and heat from the sun poured into the outer ice block and the sea water in the aquarium. The surrounding environment immediately heated up rapidly, and violent water currents were stirred up to form huge waves!

Just before the ice wave burst out, Emiya jumped to the upper floor to avoid it, and rushed towards Leviathan, holding his pace tightly.

"Bastard!"

Leviathan looked at Emiya who was standing in front of him again, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

He wasn't actually cursing Emiya on the other side.

Rather, Leviathan just used its perception of water flow to discover that something had taken advantage of the scattered water flow and swam away quickly from the upper level of the research institute.

That speed was too fast to be human-like. No matter how you think about it, it must be a pure-blooded dragon of his kind!

Combined with the fact that Leviathan sensed that "Melyuchina" was stolen not long ago, as well as the speculation about Emiya and Norton, it is likely that the sample zero must have been taken away by Emiya's teammate Norton.

I didn't expect that after not seeing him for so many years, Norton's character has become so sinister!

Leviathan's heart was almost overflowing with resentment.

It's not enough that Norton and Emiya are stirring up trouble, but one is openly doing it, the other covertly, and they're quite methodical, specifically targeting the industries invested in by their medical association. Counting the last time the Chen family was uprooted, this is the second time this has happened! It's simply despicable and despicable!

Huge amounts of sea water continued to pour in with a rumbling sound.

This building, which had just lost its lower support, was already showing signs of swaying and sinking. If it continued like this, it would undoubtedly sink to the bottom of the water and fall apart.

Emiya and Leviathan knew that this underwater structure was on the verge of collapse. The freezing method was just a temporary life extension to force time. Emiya needed to buy time for Nono and Jude Mai, and Leviathan also needed to buy time for his own people.

He didn't know that Jude Mai was secretly causing trouble, causing the researchers to fall into a state of chaos and escape.

The two continued their fierce battle, an unending battle. Blue flames, like a thorn in the flesh, lashed down with the swords, creating thunderous explosions and puffs of white steam on the ice.

Time passed quietly in the stalemate. As the upper area was flooded, a large number of people wearing diving suits had already left.

"They should be almost done evacuating. Should we continue the fight... or go find Norton to reclaim the experimental samples?"

Leviathan was caught in a dilemma. "But if I choose to pursue without eliminating this Emiya and end up in a two-on-one situation, I'm likely to end up like Odin."

Odin certainly didn't expect that Emiya in front of him had such strange strength, which is why he was defeated despite his extreme confidence.

With the previous experience as a lesson, he wouldn't fight alone. He had to find a way to wipe out these guys who were causing trouble in front of the Medical Association. As for today's encounter...

Leviathan activated the vast range of spiritual words, mobilizing and extracting the abundant water elements in the environment. He was the king of the water, and he could drive tens of thousands of tons of seawater in the entire aquarium at his fingertips. The vast amount of water was about to turn into an extremely cold glacier mountain range.

He looked at Emiya across from him - Emiya also held up the complete Dragon Breaking Platform, and the icy and scorching auras symphony at the same time. The combined elemental power flowed incredibly in the vast space, forming an expanding and roaring dragon shape.

Both parties made the same choice without prior agreement.

'It's time to end this!'

----

"Emergency Notice! Emergency Notice! All aquarium activities have ended for today! All visitors are requested to take their belongings and leave the aquarium in an orderly manner!"

Most of the tourists hadn't realized what was happening when their thoughts were interrupted by the loud broadcast from the aquarium.

The aquarium broadcast was interspersed with the suspicious crunching sound of potato chips...

Some tourists found the broadcast announcement in disbelief and frowned as they protested to the staff, but the shocking changes around them did not stop - soon the clusters of lights above their heads began to turn off automatically, and darkness spread around everyone.

In addition, the large and small fish that were originally swimming slowly and leisurely in the tank seemed to sense something and began to flee frantically in panic, while also hitting the thick special glass of the display window across the tank.

The huge whale shark in the Kuroshio Exhibition Hall also became aggressive. When it collided with the thick glass windows, its tens of meters long body instantly caused huge waves in the sea and vibrations in the glass panels, scaring the people who were still watching closely and making them fall to the ground.

"One more announcement: today's aquarium tour ends! In order to perform emergency maintenance on the aquarium's safety facilities, all visitors are requested to leave the aquarium in an orderly and prompt manner!"

The fish's unusual behavior finally alerted most people to the fact that something was amiss. Even some visitors who had been disgruntled with the staff and were arguing with them began to shut up. Several sturdy security guards stepped forward to enforce order, and after a while, the crowds of tourists gradually began to thin out within the aquarium.

Sizzle, sizzle——

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of glass shattering under the weight finally rang in people's ears. At this time, there were only a small number of people left in the museum, and they were walking out of the door. After hearing the sound, they subconsciously looked back at the exhibition hall.

The huge whale shark actually smashed the solid thick glass while wailing. A faint blood color dissolved into the sea water, and then a long and thin torrent sprayed out along the cracks in the broken glass.

This unprecedented scene seemed both sad and terrifying to people.

"Again, we are announcing that the museum's safety facilities are in urgent need of maintenance. During this period, all activities will be suspended! Please leave the museum in an orderly manner!"

Su Enxi put down the microphone and turned off the power, watching the last group of people on the surveillance screen finally leave. Then she put down the potato chip bag and clicked her tongue, thinking, "These ordinary people, ignorance is bliss."

If they knew what great god was causing trouble inside, they would probably be scared to death and crawl away...

Su Enxi put on her headset again. "Hey, long legs, have you evacuated with our friends? I spent a ton of money to acquire and take over this place. This aquarium is quite large, tens of thousands of square meters. I hope you guys don't get anything out of all the money I spent!"

"Cough cough...the damn waves are so terrible," said Jiude Mai on the opposite side as if she had choked on water several times.

"It was a success! Thanks to the escort of Master Emiya, the entire operation went smoothly. We collected a lot of information during the chaos, but we didn't expect the enemy to pull off such a stunt during the final evacuation. I almost thought I was not in an aquarium, but trapped in a deep-sea glacier, freezing to death!"

Jude Mai herself couldn't explain it clearly, but if she had personally experienced the Greenland Sea incident that the Secret Party encountered back then, she might have understood that both were the same experience.

"Huh? What the hell are you talking about?"

"Just wait and see, Potato Chips. The little witch and I have escaped, but the two gods inside are still fighting!"

Chapter 90: Is this how the Throne of Heroes came about?

"Fuck, you two gods are really serious!"

As a clerk, Su Enxi did not join the battlefield in Chenjiayuan last time. She ran to the distant manor to serve as a commander. She saw nothing but deafening thunderstorms and heavy rain that could blow her in the face. She could only listen to Jiude Mai's bragging after the war. The plot was as outrageous as a movie.

But now, looking at the remote monitoring footage, she was finally able to intuitively appreciate how thrilling this battle was without relying on her imagination.

The water inside all the large tanks roared and surged, converged under the command of an invisible law, and schools of fish were swept away and trapped by the turbulent currents, and flew out together. The glass and metal baffles that blocked the way were deformed and shattered as if they had been hit by a heavy blow.

The fishes ran around like a panicked crowd but could not escape the cage built by water. Then the next second a spreading cold current hit and they all stopped struggling - because all the water in the aquarium turned into glaciers, and from that moment on the fishes became one with the ice forever.

The extremely low temperature also caused the equipment inside the aquarium to shut down. The surveillance screen in front of Su Enxi suddenly went black and most of it went out. Only a few temporarily installed cameras at the outer edge of the aquarium survived.

Su Enxi stared at the screens nervously with eyes wide open. She saw flying dragons circling and galloping in the vast abyss-like sea glaciers, with huge amounts of pale blue flames and white ice blending together on their bodies.

As the flying dragons rubbed against and flew over the walls of the aquarium, they shattered and collapsed the objects as if they had hit children's building blocks. Then they were stained with cold frost and fierce flames, and the rumbling sound of demolition was heard all around.

The surveillance camera that Su Enxi had temporarily installed was ultimately not spared. It went black with a click, without even capturing a single person's figure.

"Oh shit."

The experience of seeing the screen halfway black made her lose control immediately. She angrily left the monitoring room which was no longer useful, ran to the rooftop with a high-powered telescope and set it up. From the top of this high-rise building in the CBD area, she looked at the super showdown in the aquarium.

At this time, it started to rain all around, and perhaps because of the approaching typhoon, the wind gradually became stronger. Pedestrians holding umbrellas hurried into the room, and as for the high platform, no one would brave the rain to look into the distance.

Only Su Enxi, who was looking from a high place, realized now that the flat roof of the aquarium, which was supported by a large amount of steel, had been completely demolished.

Under the opened flat roof, in the gray rain curtain, a water-colored mad dragon was circling and sitting on the frost and snow river. The pale blue flames looked like a hazy and beautiful glow in the rain, giving the white ice a visible and exquisite vortex texture.

The ice-white snow river originally covered tens of thousands of square meters of the entire aquarium, but several pale blue dragon-shaped fish grew thicker and larger as they fed on the solid ice, and quickly spread out.

It was not an expansion out of thin air, but a complex reaction between elements, causing the huge ice flow to sink deeper and deeper like prey encountering a sticky swamp that it could not escape.

It seemed as if someone was directing the dragon shape, using the endless ice as a carrier to continue to trigger a new pale blue explosion and burning. The absolute disadvantage turned into an advantage in the blink of an eye, causing the scorching flames all over the ground to invade the massive glaciers that were caught off guard.

Finally, the two are mixed to the extreme, and the various colors and lines are like abstract paintings, forming a wildly flying and blending three-dimensional ice and fire scroll, which then gradually becomes loose, falls apart, and melts and dims.

"Won?"

Su Enxi blinked. She had been watching for a long time and was so focused on the special effects that she finally realized she didn't understand what the battle was all about.

This made her very anxious... She looked around and realized that she seemed to be a little far away from the aquarium. She couldn't get there for a while, so she slapped her head and said:

"Alas, my pig brain, instead of doing it myself, I should call the nearest long-legged runner to check the situation on the scene."

----

"Don't rush me, I'm here!" Jude Mai endured Su Enxi's deadly barrage of calls, her long legs sprinting away, "I've already seen Master Emiya!"

However, Nono next to her ran faster. Her legs, enhanced by magic, were slender but full of strength. In a few seconds, she left her teammate Jude Mai behind. She ran through several steel bars twisted into strange shapes and several piles of completely icy debris, and came in front of Emiya who was squatting on the ground.

"Are you ok?"

Nono looked around and saw no sign of the enemy, so she stretched out her hand and waved it twice in front of Emiya's face.

She did not ask about the enemy's whereabouts like an ignorant girl, but chose to care about Emiya's physical condition first. However, the latter was not seriously injured, so she told him about the situation at the same time.

"I'm fine, but the other party seems to have escaped."

Emiya leaned against the Dragon Severing Platform's scabbard, which stood upright beside him. Nono reached out and helped him slowly to his feet. Then, Emiya suddenly spread out one hand, revealing a white fragment—a fragment of the mask worn by Leviathan.

During the previous battle, Emiya noticed something unusual.

The opponent's last move was so powerful that the "Nine Infants" of the Broken Dragon Platform could only compete with the opponent's massive amount of ice. Shi Gong tried his best to gather the dragon-shaped sword energy condensed by the Broken Dragon Platform and attack the opponent directly.

But the other party's figure suddenly melted away like icy water, disappearing into the icy stream. Afterward, the aquarium's solid ice, as if it had lost its noble ruler, weakened significantly before being swallowed by the burning dragon.

The fragments of the mask were preserved by luck.

Emiya didn't know how much energy the other party consumed by using such means, but he himself projected a large number of treasures and used the Dragon Breaking Platform, which consumed a lot of magic power.

“I feel like it’s not over yet.”

Emiya pondered the opponent's final move. It seemed that he was trying to trick out his ultimate move and then escape. This tactic was not aimed at killing the enemy, but at finding out the details of his own moves.

In other words, the other party's next move is already underway, and it's hard to say whether it will be targeted according to our configuration...

"A mask again?" Nono took the mask fragment and squeezed it gently, feeling damp and cold. "Odin wears a mask, and this guy is also a masked man. Are they a masked organization...?"

Emiya shook his head, "This isn't just a simple insignia of the organization's attire."

Perhaps there is some unknown necromancy ritual involved to borrow power, just like the one Odin used that time.

----

"Norton, what are you doing with a piece of mask fragment?"

"After thinking it over, I'd like to advise you to hurry up and delve into 'Causal Separation'. Look at Leviathan and Odin, they're both using these alchemical masks in combat. What do you think of their latest progress?"

When Xia Mi packed up her first Heroic Spirit "Melyucina" and brought her, and mentioned the news of the alliance between Leviathan and Odin, Norton reminded her in a urging tone that her learning progress was very poor, which ruined her mood.

"This mask? It's amazing?" Xia Mi pouted slightly.

Norton glanced at her with disdain, as if looking down on a little sister whose academic level was not up to standard and who was always trying to be clever.

"You don't even know the 'Cause and Effect Separation' of the Seven Kingdoms of Alchemy? I have to explain it to you again. If it weren't for me, you probably wouldn't have considered learning this knowledge in your lifetime."

"Look carefully. This mask fragment was collected from the scene during the Odin War in Chenjiayuan. Although the remaining alchemical traces on it have lost their function, some of the principles of the technique can still be seen."

“???” Xia Mi widened her eyes, feeling like she was about to see flowers but couldn’t see anything.

Norton felt his blood pressure was a little high. He suddenly felt that it would be more comfortable to return to Atlas Court and live a peaceful life with his brother than to cooperate with this guy.

It's so torturous to work so hard outside and then encounter teammates who can't keep up with the pace.

"...Simply put, the alchemy of 'Causal Separation' can disregard causal connections and connect two previously unrelated things. Take this mask, for example. It projects a portion of its power and consciousness across vast distances in time and space. As for how far it can reach, and the upper limit of its power, it's hard to say based on this few fragments."

"In other words, this causal separation mask is like you being the original A, and you creating puppet B and a mask with C% efficiency. You put the mask on puppet B, which has no combat ability, and it becomes C% of the strength of original A."

"The reason I've been asking you to research 'Cause Separation' is because the Holy Grail War requires the technology to summon Servants. Servants are projected from a portion of the power and consciousness of Heroic Spirits, along with the Throne of Heroes that houses the Heroic Spirits themselves—"

"In computer science terms, it's like a database switchboard for transmitting data packets. This is my... ahem, this is a brilliant idea from my friend. With this Heroic Seat system, we don't have to worry about losses."

"Otherwise, if we were to follow Odin's 'Hall of Valor' plan and take out the real heroes for experiments and battles, we'd be treating them as disposable consumables. If we kill one, we'll lose one. We can't afford to waste that time and resources, do you understand?"

"I understand, now I completely understand!"

Xia Mi couldn't stand Norton's look at her as an academic idiot, so she quickly changed the subject:

"Take a look at this Heroic Spirit of Melyuchina first. She should be the next generation of Heroic Spirit Warriors in their plans. I think her basic qualities are pretty good, and her bloodline is also acceptable. What do you think of her as our first Heroic Spirit candidate?"

Xia Mi had just been scolded by Norton, and now she no longer had the nerve to be arrogant. She just wanted to watch Norton show her how to operate in person, and then she would copy Master Norton's heroic spirit template.

Okay, I admit it, she's not good at academic research. But can she not understand copying homework?

Chapter 91 Nono: I will replenish my magic!

Norton looked at the white-haired girl who was "physically hypnotized" by Xia Mi's punch.

Beneath the long, snow-white hair of this "Melyucina Zero" are slender limbs densely covered with black scales. Her hands and feet have been completely transformed into ferocious dragon claws, and her keel joints have a reversed curved structure. The black dragon wings on her back are tightly curled up as her owner is unconscious.
