Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

Thus, all four except for the God Ancestor changed into ordinary clothes and headed to the Thousand World Tree Castle where the Black Faction was located.

.........

The inherent barrier created by the French saint with her life was dispelled in her extreme regret upon her departure.

As the world in her field of vision transformed into reality, Novia put her leopard mask back on, which had been knocked off by Joan of Arc with her 'Red Lotus Saint'.

Although Novia simply watched Joan of Arc's attack without offering any resistance, she was quite pleased that her will had actually done so. This made Novia feel that although Joan of Arc was strange, her fighting spirit was genuine, and therefore she no longer cared about her 'sneak attack'.

However, while Novia was unconcerned about Joan of Arc's 'sneak attack,' Traloc, who outwardly remained silent but inwardly considered himself her protector, was quite different.

In Tralock's view, aside from Favia's feat of defeating Ort, which was akin to defeating a giant in the Age of Gods, she was also the universally acknowledged God-King of the Americas and the master of her Lake of the Moon. Therefore, she was truly willing to kill anyone who dared to offend Favia.

To date, there are four people that Tralock finds very disagreeable.

Avisbro and his Adam Golem are dead.

Mordred is all talk and no action, but Tralock could tell she was still a bit reserved. So Tralock instantly figured out how to use her to maximize his 'benefits,' and everything went smoothly until Jeanne suddenly appeared and ruined it.

To be honest, Trallock was quite satisfied with Amakusa Shiro's performance; his attitude and everything else were in place, so it was alright.

As for Joan of Arc, Tralock was furious. She had thought that Joan of Arc was just trying to increase her favorability, and since she had already come up to her, she was too lazy to pull her away. However, Joan of Arc actually launched a sneak attack in front of her, which really made her very angry.

Traloc wanted to kill Jeanne the moment she activated her Noble Phantasm, but unfortunately, she couldn't break the inherent barrier that created it, so she could only wait...

When Traloc saw that the blond man was unharmed but Joan of Arc was nowhere to be found, he was both pleased and annoyed. He was pleased that the man was unharmed, but annoyed that Joan of Arc had died so quickly. It was a pity that she hadn't even had the chance to kill him herself to atone for his disrespect.

However, Tralock has always maintained an excellent facial expression, so although he was mostly happy inside, his face remained as indifferent as it has been for centuries.

"I'm so glad you're alright."

With a cold gaze, the black-haired girl, mimicking Joan of Arc's earlier actions, bent down, took Novia's hand, placed it near her face, and slightly raised her head.

"It was my fault for failing to fulfill my duty of guarding you when that guy ambushed you. Please punish me this time. I am willing to accept any kind of pain."

At the same time, Tralock went a step further, pressing close to Novia and making his indifferent expression and eyes more charming.

"Let's wait a few days before doing this—"

Novia wasn't unwilling to let Traloc use this tactic again, but she felt it wouldn't be too late to deal with it after the Holy Grail War was over. Although Amakusa and Jeanne had already left the stage and the Black Faction was basically following his lead, and the Red Faction members had lost Amakusa's magical energy supply as their Master, their disappearance was only a matter of time. In short, Novia thought she should be able to take Traloc and Abigail back in about two or three days.

Thinking of this, Novia felt that Sajou Aika had worked very hard, as she had brought so many people to live in her apartment, which was quite a burden on her.

"Isn't this enough for me?"

However, Novia's words did not deter Tralock. The dark-haired girl made a coquettish sound and drew circles in Novia's palm with her fingers. The Third Sun launched such a grand offensive with such a direct attack. She blinked her eyes as if to say, "I must succeed today! Absolutely!"

To be honest, if the location and time were different, Tralock, who is quite shrewd in his operations, might have already succeeded.

However, Novia felt she couldn't just kick Abby out because of Traloc...

Seeing Novia looking at her, Abby, who had long felt completely ignored, felt she should do something to help her brother escape the clutches of her sister Tralock.

But to be honest, the blonde girl really didn't know what she should do. Should she just rip Tlaloc, who was practically glued to Novia, off? No, Tlaloc was stronger than her...

What, what should I do?

The older brother looked at her, but she could do nothing and could only watch from the side. Was this what it meant to be a disqualified younger sister? But I was just a younger sister, not like the older sister Tralock. Tralock was also very skilled with a kitchen knife, so taking care of her older brother was no problem for her.

Compared to Tralock, all I can do is make some snacks. Not only that, Tralock is much taller and bigger than me, with a beautiful head and neck, neatly styled hair, and a very pleasant smell... Thinking about it this way, I feel like I really shouldn't be doing anything.

But why does my chest feel sore?

Tralock was standing so close to her brother, breathing in his scent. Although only two or three seconds had passed, the girl's heart felt like it was being gripped, and she couldn't look away.

I don't want to be able to see it.

The blonde girl covered her face with her hands and buried her head deeply.

I wish I could say it out loud, but I didn't.

My chest aches, and the thought of it happening makes my body feel like it's being stabbed with a knife—a mix of pain, sadness, loneliness, and heartache.

"If I can't see you forever, I'm going to turn into a bad kid... Please don't leave, brother."

So, it would be great if things could stay like this forever.

The voice in her heart instantly traveled to the blonde girl's mind. The next moment, she closed her eyes, and her skin rapidly turned white with a faint purple mist swirling around it. A keyhole appeared on her forehead, containing a purple eye.

"Hehe, I'm here to help you, brother. This time, it's my turn to be your pillar of support..."

After many years, Abigail finally showed the same attitude she had when she first met Novya.

However, perhaps knowing that she was no longer as easily dealt with as before, Abigail in her bad-girl mode first glanced indifferently at Tralock, who was clinging to Novia, then put on an extremely twisted smile and quickly came up behind Novia and hugged him.

Her fair, delicate fingers gently caressed Novia's waist, then she spoke in a calm voice:

"...It tastes really good, like it's been eaten."

At this moment, Novia is caught between two men: Traloc, who is determined to punish her, and Abby, who has become a troublemaker, in front of her.

In short, the three of them rested until night.

Then, after everything was over, Novia heard Fran's voice coming from outside.

"Hey, Red Team's spearman? Don't barge into the room! You're disturbing my grandpa and grandma!"

Immediately following was a voice that Novia knew all too well.

"Rome, I have come, Novia, oh Rome, Rome of Rome, all of Rome is protecting you."

"It's been a long time. Ancestor, you haven't changed at all."

"Yes, Rome, I'm glad you're doing well too."

Novia, who had told Fran that she was alright and that Abby and Tralock had left, looked up and met the gaze of the man with bronze, red eyes.

Unlike the Romulus who descended to the divine side during the final period of the Roman era, this is Romulus who belongs to the king's side, the same Romulus that Novia saw in the Oracle of Sibylla.

But whether on the side of the king or the side of the gods, Romulus of the Type-Moon world is undoubtedly a human who can be described as 'light'. He represents the possibility of humanity breaking away from the age of gods, and is an extraordinary exception who became a supreme god despite being human.

The God Ancestor, now a Servant in the present world, looked at Novia, who had once created the 'Sea of ​​Light' for him, and now became the sole supreme god of another continent, and couldn't help but laugh heartily once again.

"Rome, now you are with me."

Romulus sees himself as a human being rooted in the earth, a human being forged by those who broke away from the old era belonging to the gods and wove a new future for the planet. If he is like this, then so is Novia, who became the supreme sun of the Americas.

Moreover, Romulus also sensed that Novia loved Rome as much as he did, because the Rome he loved, and all the people of the world, were like countless lights appearing in the night sky. These lights were the tomorrow and the future that would eventually reach the horizon, and at the same time, they were love, romance, human dreams, and the sun that seemed to appear to catch all the light.

What is this sun?

For Romulus, this was something that didn't need to be questioned, because—

This is undoubtedly also a type of Roman architecture.

“Even so, I, Novia, am still the child you loved, Romulus Quirinus, am I? And you, who opened the path of light for me, have always been my friend.”

When Romulus descended in his true form, he led the Roman gods to resist the vice-king of heaven through the mouths of Moses and Noah, who were confronting Novia. At the same time, he bestowed the authority of the gods upon Novia alone, and used all his strength to enable Novia to reach the one true god.

"Yeah."

Romulus forced a smile upon hearing this.

The gods of monotheism are not comparable to those of polytheism. Back then, the Roman gods were almost defeated by the viceroy of heaven alone. However, Michael sent the other three archangels to fight after only half of the battle. This gave Romulus the opportunity to cross the heavenly army and come to the present world to launch the Book of Revelation.

Originally, Michael was supposed to open the gates of Noah's Kingdom, but since Michael went to lead the Kingdom's army, Noah took on the responsibility of opening the gates. As for Moses, who was in charge of opening the gates of Hell, he probably delayed the opening of the gates of Hell, so the flood of Hell did not sweep across the land immediately, and therefore Michael's Kingdom's army did not arrive on time.

“By the way, Ancestor God, I remember you are a Crowned One, right? I have heard that you Crowned Ones often gather on Noah’s Ark, Ancestor God Noah’s Ark. If you see Noah, please give him my greetings and say that ‘Novi-Lokia is very grateful for the Zohar Brilliant Stone that you, Ancestor God, gave him.’”

Even now, Novia, though not able to ascend to the throne of the Holy Spirit, but having become the supreme sun of the Americas and the sun UO, knows that in addition to the gifts from the Roman gods, she also received a gift from Noah, the progenitor of humankind.

The essence of knowledge, and Zohar pyroxene.

Zohar means radiance and is the longest and most important text in Kabbalah, but it is not just a single book, but a category of books, including interpretations of the Bible, as well as material theology, myths about the origin of the universe, and mystical psychology, which some people call anthropology.

In short, it can increase the probability of a "future event" by manipulating the timeline by altering the desires of the active agent—human beings—thereby obtaining energy equivalent to an infinite amount.

Such a powerful thing was in Noah's hands; however, Noah's 'Zohar,' a Grand Knight, was merely a stone of EX rank, signifying his lineage as a descendant of Adam. The stone itself possessed no great power...

The reason for this is simple: the real Zorhal Gemstone had already been given by Noah, who had revealed his true form, to Novia, whom he considered 'determined to fall from grace, but even so, he was still his child, regardless of whether he would ascend to the throne, simply as a human being.' Therefore, the Noah recorded in the Throne of Heroes could only possess the form of the Zorhal Gemstone but lack its power.

The real Zohar Glowstone was on Novia, and after she left, something happened, but it turned into a cross pendant that hung around Novia's neck when she returned. Then, she gave it to Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was facing what to do after graduating from high school.

"...No problem at all, I will pass it on."

Indeed, as Novia said, the Grand Servants on the Throne of Heroes would occasionally dine together on Noah's Ark, which could be considered one of their pastimes.

only--

"Wow, that's really great. By the way, Noah, could we seriously discuss this? Could you lend it to me for a couple of days? Don't be so cold."

"Hiccup... No... This is for the children... Absolutely not for a heretical god... Hiccup..."

“Smoke Mirror, I have no objection to your proposal to Noah, but it is really inappropriate for the founder of mankind to show such an attitude... but put your gun down in front of Noah.”

The ancestor of the gods often saw Noah drunk by the smoke mirror, Noah holding the wine bottle with his face, and the old man in the mountains who, although he participated, did not actually participate.

Sometimes, Grand Archers and Jiang Ziya, who has Grand Archer and Mage/Rider aptitudes, would come and drink with Noah and his group.

“Old man, I’m just offering a suggestion. If you really think I’ve done something wrong, you should go talk to the only god in America first. Although that guy isn’t here, I have a deep connection with ‘the mountain,’ so there shouldn’t be any need to harm me. I’m not part of your destiny.”

"Hiccup... heretical... one God... hiccup... hiccup... Smoke Mirror, you're saying those heretical things again... hiccup... Waaah... don't film me like this... the kids will hate me... don't do that kind of thing..."

It's hard to imagine that Noah, who used to have a cold and aloof demeanor, would turn into this after just one drink, and even pass out after one sip.

"That's what you call keeping up with the times... Speaking of which, why don't I build a factory and sell that guy's merchandise to everyone in America? Okay, that's decided. Shall we hire a business consultant? Hmm, let me think, Professor Moriarty should be the most suitable. Let's find an opportunity to sit down and have a serious talk with him."

Noah offered a slight rebuttal to the smugness of the Smoke Mirror, while the Old Man of the Mountain merely glanced at it and paid it no further attention.

Hearing this, the patriarch of gods naturally thought of Novia, who held the power of the Greco-Roman pantheon and opposed the one true God of the Church.

After all, even Zeus, the Greek king of gods, couldn't gather all the gods together, so in the eyes of the ancestor of the gods, Novia was the only god of his own Rome.

Romulus thought the only God was Novia, while the Mirror of Smoke said the only God was Favia.

Noah was referring to Novia, while the Old Man of the Mountain was recalling Avia, who had brought a being that was not human to him years ago.

Of course, Romulus at the time did not know that the only god of the Americas in the mouth of the smoke mirror was the same person as Novia.

However, in reality, all four champions were thinking about the same person at that moment.

Back to the present, after Romulus agreed to Novia's request, Novia immediately said:

“There are still the Red Team members you brought outside, Divine Ancestor. I’ll go see them.”

“Bringing those Romans from outside was indeed one of my ideas, but…” Romulus asked, somewhat puzzled, “Rome, isn’t Nero with you?”

In Romulus's view, based on his understanding of Nero, it didn't matter whether Novia was the sun god of the Americas or not; she should have been by his side. Therefore, logically, besides the third sun and Abigail, Nero should also be there, but he wasn't...

Romulus was puzzled. Could it be that there was some conflict between his children?

Novia sighed slightly at the words of the Divine Ancestor. How to put it? Logically speaking, when he used the Crimson Lotus Saintess to reveal her full power and called out Novia's name, all the popes, saints, and many other people in the entire church came. Nero, even though he had been transformed into Draco and was far away in another world, should have felt the call... but he didn't come.

He probably still finds it hard to accept that he has become like this and is still appearing in the eyes of so many younger generations. The only disciple of the Holy One, the second Pope of the Holy Church, has actually become a beast!? It's simply a disqualification of the Pope.

Novia originally thought that after taking Draco to see Hibiki, she had accepted that she had become an adult. However, as soon as she returned to Romania, she immediately turned back into the petite Draco. Novia didn't intend to force her to change.

However, Novia truthfully told Romulus about his doubts, Nero had become Draco, or Beast, and his personality had also changed.

Romulus, however, did not react excessively to this, only sighing.

Because he had long foreseen that in the Rome he created there would be born 'the woman of all evil and abominations, the terrifying Babylon, the seven-crowned red dragon, the ten-crowned sea monster, the Trinity who has returned from affectation and decadence, the embodiment of glory and shadow, the bright star, the son of the morning, the son of dawn', and his brother Remus had also foreseen it.

However, Romulus believed that "love that burns to the end can be conveyed," so he had no choice but to kill his brother Remus, who wanted to destroy Rome to prevent that event from happening.

“I think I have a way to turn Nero back from her beast form.”

After listening to Novia's words, Romulus, who had been thinking for a long time, spoke very seriously.

“God Ancestor, I can actually do this too, but let’s not force it.”

Is it forced?

"Whether Nero becomes Draco or not, it doesn't really change anything for me, so as long as she likes herself the way she is, that's all that matters."

Novia's voice was very calm in her reply. Romulus smiled slightly and continued:

“It’s incredible that my Rome can transform into so many states. And as you said, Novia, since Nero can transform from the large form you mentioned into the small form but not back, does that mean that Draco also wants to transform back into Nero but can’t? Is that possible?”

"I don't think so..."
