The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 271 Planetary Organization World Tree

The azure stars were surging violently, and the rapid figures were jumping and flying, flashing dangerous light.

"A large number of Servants appeared!"

"...The fastest number among them are three...all of them are divine servants! Retreat!"

After seeing the three women in white robes flying in the air, Emiya immediately grabbed Reggie Reve beside him and shouted a warning to everyone.

"Hmm? Isn't that the Valkyrie that Odin made?"

Xia Mi also saw clearly the women with wings behind them who were holding spears and round shields, and realized that they were old acquaintances, the servants of Odin whom she met in the Tokyo underground.

"...Then there's nothing to be afraid of. I fought that thing with Norton last time, and it was just a mere demigod—!"

Xia Mi originally wanted to wave her hand to indicate that this thing was not worth facing as a big enemy, but these Valkyries came out from the fire escape with a swiftness and power completely different from the past.

The Valkyrie Slude took the lead, her straight spear piercing out with a sharp edge, like a cold and fierce venomous snake spitting out its tongue.

"--ah?"

Xia Mi originally wanted to change modes and become Attila to swing the Sword of the God of War to fight the enemy, but the next moment, the Sword of the God of War in his hand disappeared, and Attila's spiritual base state was cancelled!
What the hell! What happened? What the hell is this?

She was about to face Slude's light gun attack with empty hands!
Boom!

Emiya reacted in time and kicked Xia Mi backwards. At the same time, he swung his arms, and the purple arm armor that appeared on the outside of his body grasped the giant thunder sword, and collided with Slude's spirit. In an instant, a large number of corridors and buildings collapsed, and the sea of ​​​​electronics surged!
"Come on!"

When Xia Mi was kicked away, she did a backflip in mid-air and landed lightly on the ground, escaping upwards. As the owner of the Word Spirit Time Zero, Chu Tianjiao's speed could not be slow, and he also ran away in a flash.

"Wow! This is the power of the gods..."

Regislev held Emiya's hand tightly, her face flushed red from the intense and exciting battle.

Originally, due to the exaggerated descriptions by Helver and others, she was mostly afraid of the God Slayer Emiya. But at this moment, Rigidreve did not feel any danger. Instead, this feeling of being protected in all directions filled her with a reassuring... warmth?
"What was that just now...?"

The violent sound of the wind and the loud noise of collapsing rubble quickly brought her back to reality from her beautiful fantasy. Regislev remembered the strange battle situation just now.

She absolutely did not think that Xia Mi had just made a mistake, and that the other party, Slude, seemed to have used some strange ability.

"It's the power of a god... It's not a complete power. It's just a cheating skill that was performed by stitching together a god to obtain a high-level spiritual foundation."

"This is the Alterego Servant!"

Most servants of this special class are the product of illegal modification of their spiritual bases. For example, the Sakura quintet created by BB and the alien apostles that appeared in FGO are basically Alteregos. They often have gods stitched into their spiritual bases, gaining enormous power far beyond the norm.

"I don't know where the advanced skills of this Servant, Slude, came from, but what is certain is that this Valkyrie just modified the fact that 'Xia Mi Transforms Spiritual Base Mode'!"

"Ding!"

Slud's spear could not penetrate the defense of the Susanoo armor.

It seems that her skills cannot affect the strength of Susanoo, or her skills do not simply affect reality.

Emiya's vigilance eased slightly, and he treated the opponent's soft stabs like embroidery needles with an indifferent look. He was more concerned about the fact that he and Reggie Reeves had just destroyed a large area of ​​the corridor and had fallen from the "physical world" to the "electronic world" in the lower area.

The next second, Susanoo's tall figure crashed onto the aqua-blue electronic floor.

He looked around and found that the space at the bottom of the cabin, which should have been small and cramped, was actually much more spacious than he had expected. The space seemed to have been intentionally extended and stretched. The Susanoo mecha could stand here and move around freely.

Immediately afterwards, in addition to the Valkyrie Slud, Hildre and Ortlinde also arrived in time. Emiya did not intend to get entangled with them. He swung his sword and released huge magic power, instantly striking down a large number of thunderstorms. While they were struggling to dodge, he controlled his giant arm to grab Ortlinde who was closest to him.

This grab is like a human catching a fly hovering in the air.

"Huh? Didn't hit it?"

Emiya's attack, which should have been quite confident, suddenly missed. His mind told him that this action was precise and would definitely not be dodged, but the reality was that Ortlinde avoided it in an incredible way.

Because she activated a cheating skill.

It was like... perfectly avoiding the possibility of Emiya capturing Ortlinde. Even someone with the mind's eye wouldn't be so relaxed. This must be an ability that transcends the mind's eye, an ability to see through cause and effect.

"...So their ability isn't simply to interfere with reality, but to interfere with the past and future at a causal level?"

If that's the case, it makes sense. Slude witnessed Xia Mi's "past" when she changed her spirit base mode, and all he had to do was interfere with it, making it "never happened", and Xia Mi would be beaten back to her original form on the spot.

Ortlinde observed a future in which she would be captured by Emiya, so by cutting out this possible development, she could avoid a future that would be disadvantageous to her.

Considering this Valkyrie's origins in Norse mythology...could the deities involved in the past, present, and future be the Three Goddesses of Norn?!

In Norse mythology, the three Norn goddesses are also known as the "Sisters Who Rule Fate." Urd governs the past, Verdandi governs the present, and Shikoti governs the future. Their primary tasks are to weave the web of fate and draw water from Urd's spring to irrigate the World Tree.

That makes perfect sense. Otrind uses Skuld's power to shape the future, Slud uses Urd's power to interfere with the past, so Hilder, who hasn't used her skills yet, is likely anchored to the present through Verdandi's power... Wait, what is this?! Fighting the three of you is like facing a hedgehog-like combination with no weaknesses in the past, present, or future. No matter how you fight, you can't lose, right?!
"You Valkyries are high-ranking servants who stitched together the three goddesses of fate. Am I right?"

Looking at the servants still emerging in the distance, Emiya thought for a moment, and a loud voice came from the heavy armor of Susanoo, causing the three Valkyries to stop in mid-air.

"That's right," the cherry-haired girl, Hildre, spoke first. "God-killing hero, retreat now. God's will does not tolerate resistance."

"Hey, you guys can talk?"

Emiya was stunned for a moment. Just now, they fought with expressionless and cold faces, without any emotional reactions that normal people should have, which made him think that these three Valkyries were robots.

"Looking at what happened before, shouldn't your goal be to wipe out all those who resist God?"

Emiya was referring to the massacre of humans by those branches.

"But if I follow this line of thought, then you would worship a being that slaughters humans as a god?"

Hild was silent for a moment. "If this body has appeared in this world, and its spiritual base has been transformed by the divine spirit, then it is indeed so."

"But this is not our only purpose. We Valkyries highly value and admire warriors who are skilled in battle..."

Hildur's tone changed, as if to express something cryptic. "Well, as long as my true name remains unchanged, confirming the existence of the warrior will always be the unchanging mission of us Valkyries. So... a little indulgence is also acceptable."

"..." Emiya was silent for a moment.

Wait a minute, are you saying that you don't completely follow orders from your superiors?

Is it possible to let the enemy go in battle and let them escape?

…Although he didn't know what the reason was, Emiya secretly gave the mastermind behind the incident a failing grade in "Command Spell Technique".

Really, you guys are trying to imitate the Holy Grail War, but you haven't stolen all the technology, so don't blame your servants for slacking off and doing private work.

After saying this, Hildesheim returned to her ruthless attitude.

"O brave godslayer, it is not yet the time of the final judgment (dusk)."

"The World Tree's expanded branches have completely encroached upon and sealed off the entire area of ​​your ship, making escape from within impossible... When the tree matures and takes its true form, the gods will formally launch their invasion of the outside world."

"At that time, this planet will be initialized. God will use the World Tree as the central governing body, allowing it to usher in a new beginning."

Since he did not completely obey the instructions, Hildes' words actually contained some hints and warnings.

Hildurde was expressing that the current branches hadn't yet reached full size. They were slaughtering and absorbing humans, clearly intending to use them for some purpose, cultivating the World Tree. —Xia Mi had said that the World Tree was the support of this world, so it wasn't surprising that the enemy wanted to imitate and cultivate a World Tree.

As for initialization...

Emiya once again recalled White Princess Elquet. The skill of "matter collection" was just like the alien god's blank slate of human nature. It was undoubtedly a system for initializing the surface of the planet.

Once it is "hatched and mature", I am afraid that the mastermind behind it will take active actions and trigger the "bleaching" phenomenon of the entire planet.

"But I have a question." When he found that the opponent could take advantage of him, Emiya began to press his advantage.

"...?"

Hildreth's fingers tightened slightly around the lance. This warrior was so rude! They were already risking disobeying orders, giving him plenty of hints, yet he wasn't satisfied...

Hey, Sister Brunhilde, how did you fall in love with the mortal warrior Sigurd in the first place?

"Since you mentioned the maturity of the World Tree, where are its roots now?"

Emiya still hadn't forgotten that he was planning to investigate the whereabouts of Star Maria.

Hildre shook his head and helplessly added a hint, "The root is where God's will lies. He is neither at the bottom nor at the top, but on the outside."

"An unknown divine will descended from the outside world, forging this place into its incubator. This is the ark sailing towards the 'Gate of the Kingdom of God,' and also the ferry of death ever closer to the 'Root.'"

Hildur said, "You are looking for God's container, right? Unfortunately, you are too late. The container has already merged with this Ark. Or perhaps it is better to say that this entire ship is the container for God's arrival."

Star Maria as an individual no longer exists.

"Warriors, prepare to race against time. You are on a deep-sea boat that will never return. The ferry you are on is heading towards the deepest part."

"And at the deepest point is the corpse of God's Will."

"Now, please leave this place."
