He took out several gift boxes with buttons and distributed them one by one.
"This is the Mutually Assured Destruction button that Hanabi-sama made especially for you. If you run into trouble you can't solve, remember to press it!"
Xing took the button and pressed it immediately in front of everyone without hesitation.
Hanabi's expression changed drastically: "Hey hey hey wait a minute--!!!!!!"
boom--! ! ! !
Huge fireworks exploded on the spot...
After the fireworks, the dusty Huahuo looked at the equally dusty Xing, Sanyueqi and Liuying in front of him, as well as the Sirius next to him who had deployed a barrier to protect Mimi and Jiang Lianqiu. Finally, she rolled off the sofa to the ground, holding her stomach and laughing out loud.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! You little gray-haired thing is so funny! This is the first time I've seen someone just press it without caring about anything else!"
".Scare me to death!" Sanyueqi jumped up and patted Xing's head. "What did you press suddenly? I thought it was a bomb going off!"
"How could anyone see a button in front of them and resist pressing it?"
Xing righteously stated his reasons.
Hanabi coughed, stopped laughing, and sat back on the sofa. "Alright, even though I've been recognized, but Akiko, your promise still stands, right? Going back on your word to Hanabi-sama will have serious consequences!"
"Holy Grail War?"
"Hmm~"
Hua Huo's eyes were full of curiosity.
"Tell me quickly, what's going on with this fun thing? What information do you have? I've been investigating for so long, and all I've found is that there seems to be the shadow of the Lord of Extinction behind it..."
"Awesome." Jiang Lianqiu couldn't help but marvel at the magic of fireworks. She was probably the only person so far who had traced the source back to Huanlong?
"How did you find out this far?"
"There was a rememberer who made a deal with someone, and I got some clues from her." Hua Huo showed her white teeth - which looked particularly funny with her dark face at the moment.
Oh, so it’s Lao E who’s exerting his strength?
Black Swan is worthy of being the first person to open a blind box. He actually opened the illusion.
No wonder another Lord of Extinction could emerge in Omphalos.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lianqiu took the initiative to contact Huanlong through the command link.
"Black Swan found you?"
Oh? My Lord, are you talking about the Rememberer who I've almost broken down? She's quite entertaining. Do you want to join me in the fun?
Humph, this Rememberer is quite bold, challenging me in a battle of mental strength and memory? Where does she get the courage from?
Jiang Lianqiu silently clasped his hands together and said, "...I pay my most sincere respects to the brave Miss Black Swan."
Chapter 440: The Holy Grail's way of fulfilling wishes is unique and must be tasted
Hanabi is not stupid, on the contrary she is terrifyingly smart.
Although she couldn't hear the vague reply on the command link, Jiang Lianqiu didn't hide anything from her when he spoke.
But as soon as she changed her mind, a look of horror appeared on Hua Huo's face.
But in the blink of an eye, the thrill disappeared, replaced by incomparable excitement and anticipation.
She threw herself on Jiang Lianqiu, grabbed his collar with both hands and said urgently, "That Lord of Extinction is in cahoots with you, my dear!?"
"You're the one behind the Holy Grail War!?"
"Oh my, by the God of Fun, you've got the whole Pinocchio going round and round—why don't you join the tavern too? A life of pleasure would suit you perfectly!"
"You don't seem to care about Black Swan's current situation at all? If she falls into Huanlong's hands, she's probably going to be completely destroyed soon."
"Take me for a fool?" Hua Huo rolled her eyes. "That Lord Extinction who caused trouble in the Immortal Boat must have been you behind the scenes. Why should I worry? Hiss... No, there were two Lords Extinction at the time, and that war was a bit anticlimactic. It makes no sense for Xing Xiao not to retaliate afterward given his style of doing things—No, no way!?"
Hua Huo opened her mouth wide, loosened Jiang Lianqiu's collar little by little, jumped off the sofa, stood straight, and bowed ninety degrees to Jiang Lianqiu:
"I'm so sorry I didn't recognize you, Lord Nanook! I was just blind."
"Get down from your seat, lift your butt up, and I'll forgive you."
"Lululu!" Hua Huo stood up and stuck out her tongue at Jiang Lianqiu, acting like a little devil. "You really thought I believed you! 897 was deceived!"
"Honestly, dear, since you're the ones pushing this Holy Grail War from behind, you should also be distributing the Command Seals, right? Give me one~~~"
In the last second she was a little female ghost, and in the next second, Hanabi changed her face into a cute and coquettish little girl.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I won't interfere with who the Holy Grail issues the Command Spell to."
"Guess whether I believe it or not?" Hua Huo said with a look of contempt.
"I don't care whether you believe it or not." Jiang Lianqiu patted Hua Huo's head and stood up slowly. "Get ready. The ceremony is complete. Aglaya's golden thread has now penetrated every part of Pinocchio. We are declaring that the war has begun."
As soon as the words fell, the dream bubble shattered.
Everyone appeared again on the bustling street at the golden hour, and the girls who were covered in dust and dirt due to the fireworks were instantly restored to their former glory.
……Dividing line……
The golden thread came from nowhere and appeared at every moment of the dream at the same time.
Countless fluttering nymphs danced between heaven and earth.
After finishing work on Sunday, he left Chaolu Mansion and prepared to look for his sister who was receiving Huang Quan at the time, but he stopped at the moment when the golden thread appeared, frowned, and looked up at the sky.
The golden threads crisscrossed the sky, making it difficult to tell where their source was, but Sunday could sense that the power seemed to come from—
"……There?"
He looked up at the sky at the venue that was originally intended to be used to hold the concert ceremony.
It is also the cornerstone of beautiful dreams, the star core.
"No, it's even deeper. There are only a few places deeper than that."
A nymph flew by, and Sunday raised his hand, and the nymph flapped its wings and landed on his fingertips.
"Data life? That's not right. It's not even life. It's more like... someone's spy?"
"Are you finally ready to take action? The one behind the Holy Grail War."
At this time, the originally bustling crowds on the street stopped one after another, and everyone looked at the sky in amazement and curiosity, while some people were trying to chase the nymphs.
But soon, everyone's attention was drawn to the same place.
Countless parchments fell from the sky like heavy rain.
Sunday raised his hand to wave away the nymph, and caught a piece of parchment that happened to float in front of him.
"This is……?"
……Dividing line……
"What the hell is written on this!?"
On another commercial street in the dream, Potio took a quick glance and handed the parchment to Danheng beside him.
"Rules," Dan Heng explained, "the rules of the Holy Grail War."
"Rules? I remember it wasn't about seven people fighting each other with the cuties they summoned?"
Portier read the contents of the parchment carefully, then was stunned, then he put his hand on his forehead and laughed out loud.
"What the hell is this? I thought this precious Holy Grail War was just going to involve seven people fighting each other, but it turns out it's going to involve everyone in Pinocchio right now!?"
One of the rules: The power of the Holy Grail comes from the prayers of all living beings. Pray to the Holy Grail and support a heroic spirit. The winner will be decided. Those who successfully bet will definitely receive a response from the Holy Grail.
"It's over!!!!"
This was Sunday's first reaction when he saw this rule.
The cornerstone of Taiyi's dream is the desire of everyone in the entire Asdena galaxy to indulge in an infinitely beautiful dream.
But once this rule comes out, the foundation will undoubtedly be shaken!
He couldn't be sure whether the Holy Grail could really use the vision of all living beings to unleash powerful power, but as soon as this rule came out, it would mean that there would be another opponent in the Asder galaxy that could compete with Taiyi Dream.
If everyone goes to pray to the Holy Grail, will anyone be willing to indulge in the beautiful dream he has woven?
Huanlong: Guess which one is better at playing spirit or consciousness?
"So this is Lian Qiu's purpose..."
Beside a flower bed, the robin held the parchment in his hand and nodded in sudden realization.
"My brother hopes to weave a beautiful dream for everyone, but now, in addition to this beautiful dream, Pinocchio has a specific target for prayer. The Holy Grail will inevitably take away the power that originally belonged to Taiyi's dream, but how will the Holy Grail respond to everyone's wishes? If someone wishes for great wealth and wins the bet, can the Holy Grail really give him credit points?"
Facing Sanyueqi who also raised the same question, Jiang Lianqiu explained, "The Holy Grail only says that it will respond to prayers, but it doesn't say how it will respond. The way it fulfills your wish may not necessarily be the way you want it to be. This is the special feature of the Holy Grail, and you have to experience it."
"Besides, don't forget our true purpose. Pinocchio still has Taichi's dream."
"The power gathered from the prayers of all living beings will be used to shatter Taiyi's dream, to lock down the wandering dreamer, and to rescue everyone from this false dream. Ultimately, the power they contributed is ultimately used on themselves, isn't it?"
At the end, Jiang Lianqiu sighed with emotion, "The great Holy Grail has exhausted the power of prayers in order to save the common people. It is no longer able to respond to sentient beings. What a pity!"
San Yue Qi was so dazed by what she heard that she was immediately led into a ditch: "So that's how it is! I understand! Lian Qiu, you are actually using the Holy Grail as a medium to let everyone save themselves?"
"That's right." Jiang Lianqiu smiled and touched the girl's head.
——But there is more to it than that.
All living beings pray that there will be some power left after Taiyi's dream is shattered, and a lot of this power will be left in the end.
What to do with the remaining power?
That means Aglaia, as the judge, has the final say.
As for the possibility that the combined power of various prayers might be contaminated...
Is it possible that Huanlong will accurately filter all of this, and finally use it to shatter Taiyi's dream, and burn up in the spiritual flames along with the remnants of order, the power transformed from those desires that may bring pollution.
The remaining pure, beautiful and selfless wishes will become the most precious gems, presented by Aglaya to Jiang Lianqiu.
——Then he was thrown into Omphalos, injecting the purest hope into that world full of despair.
Chapter 441: I forgot the beginning, the middle, and the end
Pray to the Holy Grail, support a Heroic Spirit and his Master, and receive a response from the Holy Grail after the other party wins.
The news swept through Pinocchio like a storm.
People either scoffed at or were full of expectations for the rules written on the parchment that fell from the sky.
Of course, some smart people noticed the problem behind this rule at the first time, but due to insufficient intelligence, not many people really figured out the deeper meaning behind the rule.
not to mention--
——It’s free anyway, so why not trust me a little?
The Holy Grail doesn't require you to spend a penny. If you round it up, it's basically free. What's wrong with paying a little respect to it?
You have to spend a lot of money to burn incense in the temple.
Even though many people know that free is the most expensive, few people actually experience this before paying the price.
And so, after Aglaia scattered parchment across the Pinocchio panorama, announcing the start of the Holy Grail War, countless people began to pray.
The golden thread sensed the wishes of thousands of people, resonated slightly, and gathered the power of prayers from all over Pinocchio and injected it into the Holy Grail.
However, after the prayer, another very worldly problem arose.
Most people don’t even know who the seven participating Masters and their Heroic Spirits are, so how can they decide which side to support?
So, Pinocchio's reporters came out in droves, scouting the streets like crazy for someone with a Command Seal.
Gold Dust, the only one previously exposed to possess a Command Seal, instantly became the focus of thousands of eyes.
The company representative who came with a mission was exposed under the spotlight and stared at by countless eyes. He couldn't do anything he wanted.
The Gold Sand Man was completely paralyzed. In order to divert attention, he did not hesitate to reveal the fact that Xing Ye possessed the Command Seal.
……Dividing line……
