Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

"Why on earth do I want to save this rotten world?"

Although she was forced to fight against the Queen, she decided to embark on the pilgrimage with her own will.

Why on earth have I been able to persevere until now despite being surrounded by so much malice?

But no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't get the answer.

"This is where the last memory of spring lies."

Merlin led everyone to the last location.

The altar, as mysterious and unfathomable as the starry sky, has clearly appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Since it's a memory of spring, that means it must be a good memory, right?"

A cheerful smile appeared on Altria's face.

"Well, that's the happiest memory of your life, so no monsters will appear this time."

Merlin smiled and answered.

"Great! Keep replaying those thorny memories and it makes me feel bad! I'm off!"

Artoria cheered, rushed over, and disappeared from the sight of several people.

"Since there are no monsters, I'll take this opportunity to say hello, Merlin!"

Muramasa, who got the chance, cast an extremely sharp look at Merlin.

"Letting Altria forge the holy sword also means that she will disappear?"

Gudako and Mashu were shocked.

"Yes."

Merlin admitted it frankly.

"In order to confirm the concept of the Holy Sword, she must offer her experience, memories, spiritual foundation, and even her destiny. This is something only a fairy of paradise can do. It is the true mission of a fairy of paradise."

For a moment, everyone was speechless.

A heavy atmosphere weighed on their shoulders.

"Huh? Everyone?"

At this time.

The disappeared Altria returned to the sight of several people again, looking at them with a puzzled look on her face as the atmosphere changed drastically.

“…Isn’t this too much?”

Muramasa secretly clenched his teeth.

They only said two sentences.

Memories of spring.

It's too short!

Chapter 1137 The Concept of the Holy Sword

2023-06-01

The forge, resembling an ancient garden, stood alone in the center of the field.

Everyone arrived at the forge in silence.

"This is the chosen place, and in the center is the Furnace of the Universe."

Merlin guided the group.

"As long as the fairies of Paradise are included, the concept of the Holy Sword will be confirmed. Then, the Holy Sword of this era will be born, and every world will be saved."

"But, in this case..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked hesitant.

Even though countless companions had been sacrificed so far, she could not get used to this kind of thing.

In order to win, you have to give up someone.

Can a victory based on such sacrifice really be considered a victory?

Mashu beside her had the same expression.

Altria stared at her blankly.

Then she smiled.

"It's okay. In fact, I knew this would happen a long time ago, so I was mentally prepared. This way, both Britain and pan-human history will be saved. Isn't that great?"

She gave her usual smile.

It wasn't a fake smile like the one he put on to the villagers of Tintagel, but a smile that came from his own will, from his own ideas about saving Britain.

Her words left both Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu unable to refute.

But Jiang Li is not among them.

At this moment, Altria's smile overlapped with Ash's smile 2400 years ago.

The unreal feeling that even his own place of refuge had been taken away kept multiplying in his mind like mushrooms after rain.

"Merlin, I have something to ask you."

"What's going on?"

"Is reforging the holy sword really just to eliminate the divergence between this strange world and pan-human history?"

Jiang Li cast a sharp gaze at Merlin.

"Why do you say that?"

Merlin raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"After all, this strange world will disappear sooner or later. Whether the divergence point is eliminated or not, the result will be the same. And if the purpose of eliminating the divergence point is to weaken the Curse God, with you and me here, there is no need to do so, right?"

Jiang Li expressed his guess bit by bit with good reason and evidence.

As long as he and Merlin join forces, he doesn't believe they can't defeat the Curse God!

Gudako, Mashu, and Muramasa also became thoughtful and cast doubtful glances over.

"Indeed, you have a point."

Merlin agreed with Jiang Li's opinion.

The Curse God is indeed terrifying, but if Jiang Li were to snipe him before the curse tide breaks out, he might be able to defeat him head-on.

After all, the reforging of the holy sword was too sudden, and the purpose was not clear at all. It was only because Merlin said this that they chose to believe it.

"So, there's no need for Altria to be sacrificed, right?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes lit up and he spoke hurriedly.

"No, that won't work either."

But Merlin turned around and shattered her fantasy.

"I actually don't want to say this, but since you've already noticed it, I won't hide it anymore."

"The reason for asking Artoria to reforge the Holy Sword is indeed not because of the Curse God, but to confirm the concept of the Holy Sword on Earth today!"

Gudako and Mashu looked at each other, looking confused as to what you were talking about.

"Think carefully, what is left on Earth now?"

Merlin was not in a hurry, but guided the two of them step by step.

“There’s basically nothing left.”

Mash shook her head.

"That's what I mean?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka reacted quickly.

"Yes, there is nothing left."

Merlin nodded.

"No humans are left, no civilization is left. The oceans, mountains, and the earth are all bleached white—which means that all concepts have disappeared."

That's right.

This is the fundamental reason.

Now there is nothing left on the bleached earth.

Continents, oceans, the world's highest peaks, everything was wiped out in the bleaching.

This includes human beings and civilization.

Concepts themselves were born from thousands of years of human civilization.

In the universe, there is no such thing as concepts. In imaginary space, concepts become extremely thin, and in the inner sea of ​​stellar space, concepts become distorted.

This is because concepts only exist because of humans, and concepts can only exist as long as humans exist!

And when humans are wiped out, there will be no concept of nature left!

Naturally, the concept of the holy sword was also erased.

The opponent who committed this series of events called himself "Alien God".

As we all know, the Holy Sword has a very powerful special attack power against foreign enemies that threaten the Earth!

This makes people wonder, could it be that the purpose of the alien god whitening humanity is to erase the holy sword from its source and make the only thing that can threaten him disappear from this planet?

Naturally, in order to deal with the alien god, the concept of the holy sword must be reconfirmed on the surface!

"Ultimately, the significance of reforging the Holy Sword is not to weaken the Curse God, but to re-establish the possibility of defeating the Alien God. This is the real purpose."

Merlin told the truth.

"This... is too much!"

Mashu immediately looked indignant.

"Isn't this forcing Altria to sacrifice herself for the sake of our world?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression also became very ugly.

If I sacrifice myself for this strange world, then at least it is a worthy death.

In the end, the purpose of Artoria's sacrifice was to save her own world!

Forcing people to do things to this extent is just like a demon, it makes people sick!

"So, I'm not going to tell you."

Merlin spread his hands, his face full of innocence.

Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu glared at him at the same time, as if not saying anything meant that it would not happen!

As expected, Merlin is Merlin!

Crumbs!

"Artoria!"

At this moment, Muramasa suddenly screamed.

Everyone turned around and saw a graceful figure walking into the furnace of the universe in front of them, which was as vast as the starry sky.

No unnecessary hesitation.

Don't let anyone have room to stop you.

This girl chose self-sacrifice in the most thoughtful way.

In the furnace of the universe, an invisible fire gradually ignited.

It was not a flame in the true sense, but a conceptual flame that gradually covered Artoria's figure. Using her experience and spiritual foundation as materials, it confirmed the revival of a new concept.
