Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

That's right, the Holy Grail standing inside the Greater Grail is a fake, a counterfeit that was replaced at some point.

"What a pity. I thought if you didn't know, we'd want to see what wish you, the sun god, would make, and see if we could laugh at you." The Red Warlock said calmly. "But I didn't expect you to be able to use the Holy Sword... Could it be that the Lake Fairy's mass-produced products have all gone to the Americas to be sold? Well, never mind, it's just a broken sword anyway."

The sorcerer seems to have confused the original Holy Sword, which was the first and merged with the Demon Sword True World, with the mass-produced product that the Lake Fairy couldn't remove and had to manufacture.

At the same time, Novia looked at her with eyes as vast as the ocean:

"So, what exactly is your purpose in obtaining the Greater Grail?"

"Of course, we'll teach you a lesson, you bastard sun god who recently came to our shrine as a foreigner and then insulted me like this."

The warlock continued through gritted teeth,

"Your Majesty, the sun goddess Amaterasu is very angry about your behavior. You rude and barbaric fellow, you deserve to die!"

278: Amaterasu, what kind of star are you? (6k5)

The reason why the Japanese sun god is unhappy with the American sun god can be traced back to the Yushima Tenmangu Shrine in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, not long ago.

The shrine where Novia and Fujimaru Ritsuka met, and which was extremely dilapidated, was not actually part of Tenmangu Shrine. Instead, it was a shrine belonging to Amaterasu that had been forgotten at some point. However, with so many shrines related to Amaterasu throughout Japan and the Age of Gods long gone, it's impossible for Amaterasu to have met Novia there.

However, whether by coincidence or sensing some unknown anomaly, Amaterasu turned her gaze there.

And then, quite by sheer coincidence, they saw Novia, who held the status of the American sun god, simply drop some change into the donation box...

In the context of Japanese mythology, Amaterasu is a very sensitive deity. Before leaving, her brother Susanoo said goodbye to his sister, which caused an earthquake. Amaterasu was so frightened that she thought Susanoo was going to rebel and hurriedly put on full armor to fight him. Later, the misunderstanding was cleared up.

But soon Susanoo started acting crazy in Takamagahara and caused a huge mess. Amaterasu was so angry that she hid in the Ama-no-Iwato. Of course, there is also a version where she was frightened and hid in the Ama-no-Iwato. In any case, she hid away because of this, which caused the world to be without sun and fall into darkness. To put it nicely, it was an eternal solar eclipse. To put it bluntly, she abandoned her responsibilities and became a recluse.

Seeing this, the gods of Japan decided to coax her out, so they held a lively celebration outside.

Amaterasu heard the loud noise outside and wondered, "Why are you all making such a fuss without me? What's going on?"

So he joined in the fun and peeked through a small crack. The gods said that new gods had appeared and they no longer needed him.

Upon hearing this, Amaterasu asked who it was, and was then deceived by the reflection of herself in the Yata no Kagami (Eight-Span Mirror). She thought that the person in the mirror was the god who had replaced her, and she was immediately filled with sorrow. Then, the Japanese hercules, Tente Riki-ono, took advantage of her dazed state while staring at the mirror and pulled her out, thus restoring light to the world.

Based on this record, we can conclude that Amaterasu was not only timid and weak-willed, but also loved to join in the fun, was naive and easily deceived, and when angry, she would choose to hide away...

It is an extremely rare divine creation in mythology worldwide, and it is a chief god.

It was Amaterasu's innate sensitivity that angered her over Novia's simple act of tossing in change. For most people, it wouldn't matter, since so many years had passed, but the problem was that Novia was the sun goddess of the Americas.

Therefore, Amaterasu perceived this as the sun god from the Americas looking down on her and humiliating her to her very eyes. She refused to believe that this fellow couldn't sense the same solar energy, and that his nonchalant attitude and lack of manners enraged her. Amaterasu gritted her teeth, silently chanting "Kill you," "Kill you," "Kill you," "Die," "Damn barbarian," and other such phrases...

After venting her emotions, Amaterasu wondered if it was truly a misunderstanding. Perhaps it was the same as before?

So, in order to find out what was going on, Amaterasu created a tiny human figure and pretended to be a shrine guard, hoping to get a word in edgewise...

Although the Age of Gods ended a thousand years ago, the last place in the world to mysteriously decline is Japan in the far east. After all, there were still demons and monsters around the year 1000 AD, and the animism of Japan also helped Amaterasu create a human body.

It is well known that there are eight million gods in Japan, but in essence, this is just a metaphor to describe a large number. The reason there are so many is simply because the people here regard many things as divine, such as the breath of the wind, the crashing of the waves, or the burning of flames, and even the act of clasping hands together... In other words, they believe that all things have spirits and that gods are present wherever they go.

Unfortunately, if Novia had actually come out and communicated with the human form created by Amaterasu, perhaps Amaterasu wouldn't have misunderstood her. It can only be said that Fujimaru Ritsuka's quick and decisive actions led to this...

In short, after seeing Novia and that human flee without a word, Amaterasu confirmed her suspicions: this sun god of America had indeed come specifically to humiliate her!

Therefore, the human form created by Amaterasu exploded with rage, and even her originally timid personality instantly transformed into a 'bad' one, vowing to teach the sun god of America a lesson and let him know that she, Amaterasu, is also an extremely rare sun god in the world, and that she is no weaker than any other god in her life!

So she followed the trail of the American sun god all the way, and even squeezed out Shakespeare, who was acting as a sorcerer for the red side, to be a human body created by the main god in appearance as a servant. In addition, she thought for a long time about choosing a pink-haired big monster image from the divided spirit. Although there was also a choice of a petite figure, Amaterasu thought that it would be better for the guards to be taller, so she did not do that.

Let's go back to the moment when Amaterasu and Novia are confronting each other inside the Greater Grail.

"You're being far too stingy, aren't you?"

When Naruto uttered the keyword "shrine," Novia immediately recalled what she and Fujimaru Ritsuka had done there.

"You dare call us stingy?" Amaterasu, now in her unpleasant human form, pointed at herself and said, "You bastard! You're a sun goddess, on par with us. Do you look down on beings of equal esteem like that?"

"Although you and I are both the main gods of the sun, our statuses are clearly different."

Novia nodded seriously. Although he was a sun god on par with Amaterasu in mythology, their statuses were completely different.

Although both Nova and the Five Suns are among them, can Nova summon Smoke Mirror, Quetzalcoatl, and Tralok? Can Amaterasu command Tsukuyomi and Susanoo? Moreover, Smoke Mirror is a being that is equivalent to a mixture of Odin from Norse mythology, Zeus from Greek mythology, the sixth demon king from Buddhism, and Satan from Christianity... Therefore, in terms of hard power, the overall strength of the Americas is also higher than that of Japan.

Therefore, it is clear that the two are not equivalent concepts.

Amaterasu naturally understood the reasoning behind Novia's words, but she was already incredibly angry and wouldn't give up so easily. In fact, Novia's earnest explanation seemed like an insult to her, making her grit her teeth once again.

Although there is virtually no depiction of Amaterasu's strength in Japanese mythology, one thing is certain: she has exceptionally good teeth.

Because she bit the Totsuka-no-Tsurugi, the sword that killed Yamata-no-Orochi.

"Ha, still so arrogant."

Amaterasu smiled faintly, and the real Greater Grail immediately appeared in her hand.

"You are merely a manifestation of this system. Now, I will show you that my full power, possessing the Greater Grail, will surpass yours!"

The Greater Grail, which failed to be transformed into the Heaven's Cup, the third magical achievement device, fulfilled the wish of Amaterasu, who wielded it.

In an instant, the space here seemed to expand, starting with Amaterasu, who possessed the Greater Grail. The sound of wind came from afar, and within the void, a gentle and warm wind and crimson light emerged, enveloping everything without touching Amaterasu's figure.

The next instant, a radiant mausoleum with porcelain white walls and red decorations appeared before Novia.

"Hey kid, it's not too late to surrender and kneel down before us!"

A dense, divine magical power emanated from within the shrine, and the voice of Amaterasu emanating from it was filled with undisguised tyranny and mockery.

Such a torrent of magic is enough to make any Servant or human who witnesses it instantly feel that their past world was nothing more than a small water tank. Now it has flown over all of consciousness, over the ocean, and even seen the vast stars, and is deeply immersed in it. In other words, in an instant, any human or Servant who witnesses all of this will be burned to ashes.

However, Amaterasu understood that the other party was, after all, the same sun god, and possessed such a dazzling soul. It was impossible for him to not last more than a few seconds under the Greater Grail. To be honest, this was the first time she had ever seen a soul so dazzling that it even surpassed that of the gods. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was also a sun god, and that similar beings would repel each other, she would have wanted to take him as a subordinate god.

Novia seemed intrigued by the imposing Amaterasu, and he looked at the shrine with great interest:

"Amaterasu? No, in your current state, I'll still call you Golden Hair and White Face, since you think of yourself as a delinquent now."

"Who are you calling a delinquent! Your whole family are the delinquents!"

Hidden inside the shrine, the sun goddess, whose body had been standing for tens of seconds, roared loudly, but at the same time, she was also staring intently at Novia from head to toe. At the same time, she shrugged with a playful and happy smile on her face.

“I’ve made up my mind. Even if you kowtow to me now and then launch a sneak attack, I still won’t forgive you. How about this: use your mouth to wash my feet, and then I’ll bite your neck to pieces. That way, I’ll forgive you.”

Originally, the Red Sorcerer's full power should have revealed the weak Amaterasu, but the human body shaped by Amaterasu abandoned the weak personality and adopted the negative personality, thus becoming a golden-haired, white-faced person. Therefore, due to the resentment accumulated over many years, the temper exploded at such a small amount.

In the lunar world, Amaterasu is a "manifestation" of Dainichi Nyorai, which is one of the manifestations of a Buddha or Bodhisattva that appears from their true form to save sentient beings. She is regarded as a deified image of the sun, and her existence is synonymous with the sun disc. Her profile is called "golden white face," and she is a deity with nine tails, which is the Amaterasu who has become evil.

It is well known that even if Tamamo-no-Mae retrieves her nine tails, she cannot transform back into her original form. This is because Tamamo-no-Mae's origin has existed from the distant past until now, and deities at this level have no connection to the timeline.

"Are you so sure you have me cornered?"

Novia felt a strange mix of emotions towards the confident, white-haired man. Putting aside the fact that she still had the power of the Sun UO unused, she had previously summoned the god-level Tralok to destroy the god-level Adam Golem, and had just put the Star Sword back...

Neither of these means you can guarantee victory just because you regained your status as the Sun Goddess through the Greater Grail.

In fact, the golden-haired woman had also thought about what Novia was thinking, but in her opinion, even if Traloc, who had the power of a chief god, came here, she would be able to control the Greater Grail and suppress him, so the divine beings were not a concern.

Adam Golem was considered to be the work of Avisbro. As for the Star Sword, since only Amakusa heard what Novia said to him, and the mass-produced products made by the Lady of the Lake were basically identical in appearance, the confident golden-haired girl didn't bother to fuss over the minor differences.

"Is not it?"

The golden-haired man answered without hesitation, leaving Novia speechless.

In the eyes of the golden-faced man, he was undoubtedly the strongest.

The fifth sun of the Americas, constrained by the Holy Grail system, is undoubtedly the relatively weaker party.

Although they are of the same rank, Amaterasu was indeed stronger than herself in the Age of Gods. However, the Age of Gods has now disappeared, and no one dares to violate this principle. It is for this reason, along with the fact that the materials and conditions are already in place, and the blessing of the Greater Grail, which is almost equivalent to magic, that Amaterasu, who has become depraved, dares to act so recklessly.

"You being the sun god must have been a real hardship for the gods of Japan."

“Eh…” Upon hearing this, the golden-haired white-haired man looked at Novia with disdain. “You want to say all that nonsense to me too, right? Do your duty as the sun, be kind, be united, do your duty as the chief god. It’s all so annoying. I can’t get any fun from it. It’s all too depressing for me. But thankfully, I’ve already gotten through that boring period.”

She continued,

"The Age of Gods is over, and we no longer need to endure it. We are stronger than you, so we can do whatever we want. That is the only truth."

"Yeah."

"Hey kid, what do you think of me? If you say something nice, I might let you off the hook. Just lick my feet and I won't bite your neck."

The golden-faced woman's tone softened a bit. This wasn't to say that she had any respect for the process of fighting; it was simply that she felt she was already invincible, so it would be fun to toy with this American sun that could only leave in resentment.

"A fox—"

"Huh? You're still so rude even at this point? We'll give you an experience you'll never forget!"

To a shrine with golden hair and white fur, a person without dreams would see it as a giant sun.

However, this restriction does not apply to Novia. The golden-haired woman, with her dozens of meters tall body concealed by the massive mausoleum, is nowhere to hide from him.

However, just as the overwhelming suppressive force of the golden-haired white-haired figure surged from the shrine, something strange happened—

"Or, it could be a star."

".....What?!"

When Novia's words reached the ears of the golden-haired woman, a fantastical scene unfolded inside the Greater Grail that she controlled.

It is not a war of gods or hell, but the myriad phenomena of the universe, a fantastical and dreamlike landscape.

The enormous moon hangs in the sky, radiating energy that defies common sense without restraint.

"What the hell is this thing, the moon, the universe...?"

The golden-haired creature lying across the shrine couldn't help but frown. Incredibly, it sensed no danger, as if the galaxy-like scenery was some kind of decoration.

At the same time, although he didn't understand it, the golden-haired white-haired creature also made good use of the power that was too far from common sense that came down from the sky.

In that instant, the golden-haired man felt his status and strength, under the unknown blessing, transcend the planetary level and reach the stellar level.

"How about it? The power provided by MC should have allowed you to reach the stellar level in the Spirit Particle Universe, right?"

".....oh?"

The golden-haired man was caught off guard by Novia's sudden question.

She didn't quite understand.

"Now that we're on equal footing, I can also use the power of the stars."

Novia raised her eyes.

Her once deep blue eyes were now cold and clear, pure and serene like frost.

The unchanging Sun, which rules over all the planets in the solar system, the most powerful entity in the solar system, manifesting a second time—

"Burn, sun!"

A red and blue glow accompanies the entire body, indicating the activation state of Sun·UO.

"You, Sun, how could this be...?"

The shrine was burned to the ground, forcing the golden-haired creature, now fully exposed to Novia, to tremble. Its previously mocking face now showed signs of panic.

Because Novia's body was bursting with magic.

That was by no means an astonishing amount of radiation produced by divine power.

The spirit universe created by the Moon Crystal MC in Fe can greatly enhance all Servants who enter it. The reason for this is simple: all kinds of legends and connections of Servants are directly added. Therefore, the golden-haired white-haired Servant can reach the star level in it. This is not her privilege alone. Any mythological sun god can reach this standard in the spirit universe created by MC, because they are the sun itself in the spirit universe.

The reason MC is willing to provide assistance to the golden-haired man is because of Novia. Although Novia has not yet become MC's master, the Moon King, MC is still willing to listen to him... There may be a possibility that in the future the Moon King will be unable to command MC.

The current situation is that the golden-haired Novia has become a star-level being in the spiritual universe created by MC, and he is correspondingly using the abilities of the Sun UO. After all, they are both stars, so it's fair.

As for why MC couldn't buff Novia, the answer is simple: not only does the information from the infinite parallel worlds that MC converges not include the fact that Novia is a Sun UO, so it can't buff Novia, but also because the Sun UO abilities that Novia embodies have completely surpassed MC's.

The Spirit Universe is not a real universe; it is merely a hypothetical universe created by the supercomputer MC.

"Go to hell, die, die!"

As the golden-haired creature, whose height far surpassed Novia's, roared, its fiery heat extended outwards.

With the help of MC, the golden-haired, white-haired being unleashed a chaotic and absurd attack that reached the stellar level, unleashing a cosmic storm in the universe.

Life confined to the planet's interior is far beyond their reach; a fierce punch, a giant storm, seems to appear suddenly.

If someone who didn't know the situation saw this, they might think that such a small Novia would have been blown away.

However, like a stubborn pebble, the power of the stars blocked the golden-white hair. Novia remained completely unshaken; only the leopard mask slowly fell off, revealing white hair that shook violently as if blown by a strong wind. Then, behind him appeared a galaxy of countless stars—literally.

Perhaps it's not just the Milky Way, because it's much longer than the Milky Way in diameter, and from a distance it looks like an oil film spreading on the surface of water, a characteristic similar to that of the universe itself.
