Chapter 276: One Man, One Woman, One Night, One Miracle

Boom!

Melyuchina's dragon breath was like a brilliant aurora that broke through the clouds and atmosphere, pouring out without reservation on the "Storm Wall" surrounding the World Tree.

The high-density energy reacted violently between the barrier and the magical torrent, rubbing rapidly and emitting a dazzling white light explosion and a sharp sonata.

Sitting on the back of the Melusina dragon, Nono and Eri closely watched the process of the magic torrent and the high intensity of the storm fighting each other, but the result was not so satisfactory.

"...Is there really no way to break it?"

Nono observed that in the wide and thick storm, there was an endless flow of energy circulating, and dense lightning crackled, countless and powerful, as if extracted directly from nature, the world itself, becoming vast and boundless, as if the heat released by countless nuclear weapons was nurtured in it.

Even if Melyuchina attempts to attack alone to open a breakthrough, the surrounding areas of the attack point will gather energy here, automatically repairing the weak points of the Storm Wall, like a thick automatic defensive celestial barrier.

"it's useless."

Lu Mingze said on the phone.

"Once that Supreme Being activates the hatchery barrier, even the combined efforts of the First Generation will find it difficult to force a breakthrough. Furthermore, this time, it's not hatching, but 'emergence.'"

"Feathering?"

Nuonuo inexplicably thought of a Taoist term, which seemed to describe a phenomenon of "attaining the Tao and becoming an immortal."

"Yes, but it's not the concept of becoming an immortal as humans usually understand it. This Supreme Being is 'returning to the origin', do you understand? The Black Supreme Being is ultimately a direct product of the World Tree and the planet. The act of returning to the origin is to trace the path that led to the World Tree and the planet itself."

"The planet itself?"

"Yes, remember how she created the Throne of God and the true gods during the White King's time? It was nothing more than creating ideal conditions using the unique Nibelungen environment, opening up a path back to the World Tree, and giving the gods—the personification of nature, the planet's tentacles—a concrete form."

"The Black Supreme is doing the same thing now, but on a much larger scale, with even greater ambitions. The Black King intends to create a natural pseudo-deification that transcends human mythology and is closer to the planet itself. This creation is closer to the system itself than the planet's tentacles."

"Once the Black King transforms into that kind of being, he will undoubtedly be even more 'omnipotent' than a so-called god, because he can directly connect with the world through his will, and have supreme power over everything on the planet."

"!" The more Nono listened, the colder she felt in her heart. "What would the supreme power of judgment be like?"

Lu Mingze said helplessly:
"I'm not the Black Supreme's inner circle, so I can't guess what he's up to. If you consider the prophecy of 'returning to destroy the world,' the final, transformed Black King might be able to cleanse the planet and bleach it white, leaving the world 'pure and white.'"

"Bleach!" Nono and Eiry looked at each other and found that it was indeed the dream that Reggie Reeves had described.

"We must find a way to stop this transformation ceremony... Is there any way we can break through this wall of storms?"

"That's easy. With the help of the King of Alchemy, we're almost done with this tower we plan to place at the end of the world," Lu Mingze said with a tired tone. "When the time comes, I'll lend you the Holy Spear that the Tower of the End has transformed into..."

"Oh, but before that, I might need to trouble you to move away from your current coordinates. Something dangerous is heading towards the Storm Wall..."

Nono patted the dragon's back, and Melyukina quickly retreated from the lingering, fierce storm. The two girls gazed down at the surface from dozens of kilometers above, waiting for a moment before they discerned several brilliant arcs of light flying across the air, their target pointed directly at the superstorm barrier.

"Wait, those are missiles!?"

The girl's exclamation could not hide this shocking and cruel fact.

Lu Mingze's voice was tinged with a sneer. "Some people have finally realized the experiment is out of control and are starting to get anxious. Hahahaha—you're just panicking and using nuclear weapons now. Why didn't you carefully consider the consequences of attacking the Supreme Being?"

The lights of missiles from different launch silos around the world fell from the sky with shining arcs, like meteors thrown by gods to the human world. However, they were facing the ultimate monsters that were growing and emerging in this world. They were the challengers.

Multiple nuclear bombs collided with the barrier, causing air explosions. For a moment, the bright light overwhelmed the light of the polar day. The fierce heat hit the vast atmosphere, sweeping the world, but was then offset by the terrifying energy of the super storm cloud itself.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The streaking light from the sky was like a meteor falling to the earth, and the arrows from the power of the gods bombarded mercilessly, sweeping across the battlefield created by the sea of ​​​​electronics and turning it upside down.

The hot sea poured out, the lightning surged, and the silver-white armor turned charred and dull.

"Huh...are you really human?"

On the brutal and merciless battlefield, Gawain, the Knight of the Round Table, is the last Heroic Servant standing tall.

He was breathing heavily and holding his sword as if facing a powerful enemy, while Emiya opposite him had a calm expression, forming a sharp contrast.

An electronic-style azure blue background covered the surroundings, but this place seemed particularly special. The glorious and elegant pillared palace building "Valhalla" stood behind Gawain, and the artificial sunlight shone on the venue.

The skill called "Number of the Saint" caused a huge amount of power to surge continuously within Gawain's body.

Specifically, from 9 am to noon, his power would be tripled for three hours.

The improvement was so rapid that Gawain instantly rose from a first-rate servant to the TOP level. However, facing a powerful god-level being, he was probably still unable to do it.

Obviously, gods are different from servants and are on a completely different track.

Not to mention, this person who suddenly appeared was not a servant but a human god-level powerful being, which made Gawain even more surprised and difficult to understand.

Since the Electronic Holy Grail War began, it got out of control after an unknown period of time. All the Masters were sacrificed and died, and the servants in this virtual data world began an endless and indiscriminate struggle with each other.

This is the realm of struggle known as "Asgard," where battle and victory are the only unchanging rules. Legend has it that in Asgard's Valhalla, the heroic warriors gathered by Odin train for battle, drinking and reveling day after day.

Of course, there is no pleasure, and suffering is eternal. Like cattle and horses, servants are constantly summoned, and then constantly defeated and retired.

But suddenly an exceptional combat force appears, and the opponent is not only a servant but also a living person. Are there more and more bugs in this Holy Grail War?
Gawain raised his eyes with an effort.

"You... who are you?"

The other party did not answer. The massive Susanoo mecha standing there crushed the ground with its imposing size as it moved. The Susanoo held a divine sword that shone even brighter than Gawain's own Victory Sword.

Bang!

Gawain gripped the sword tightly and swung it. The Excalibur Galatine, the Sword of Victory, contained the Sun-disc Sword, a replica of the sun, at its hilt. This was a holy sword blessed by the sun.

However, at the moment when Gawain was about to activate his Noble Phantasm to deliver the final blow, a light exceeding divine speed emanated from the blade of the divine sword Ame no Murakumo.

Jian Hong drew his sword.

A brilliant aurora flashed by, and then the sword shattered, and Gawain and his own treasure were cut into two pieces.

The invincible Gawain fell.

"Since it's a speedrun, is there any need to announce your name? ...I'm just a passing godslayer, so remember this."

God-killer?
"..." Gawain turned into particles and dissipated in confusion.

Under BB's guidance, Emiya spent a whole night killing every last Servant in the electronic realm "Asgard" and finally set his sights on the Hall of Glory in the distance.

It can be said that it was one man and one woman, one night, a miracle.

"BB, if we enter the 'Valhalla' palace ahead, we can solve the problem of the first tree root, right?"

The purple-haired figure flashed beside Emiya in an instant.

"That's right, senpai~. Wow, that battle just now was truly a resounding victory. Besides 'advancing the plot,' don't you have any kind of acceptance speech you'd like to give?"

BB flew around Emiya in the air, spinning like an impromptu waltz. "Or maybe you could tell your lovely juniors that the battle was tough and they need some proper post-battle comfort services. In that case, gentle BB-kiss wouldn't be in the cards for you!"

BB stopped spinning with a laugh, then leaned down in front of Emiya, letting her plump white breasts fill his vision...

Snapped!
Emiya grabbed BB's head with one hand using the Undying Grip.

He didn't bother to pay attention to BB's teasing. It was nothing more than a trap for another prank by this evil woman. He was more concerned about how to quickly pass the level. BB was restless and teasing him all the way, which made him increasingly impatient.

"...I was asking you a question earlier. Isn't that the palace in front of us? Where are the tree roots I want to cut off?"

"Wow~, what a cold and heartless senior. Even though he looks cool in a cold way, it makes BB so sad!" BB waved his arms in the air in a weak protest.

The so-called three roots that need to be cut off are what BB mentioned in his opening remarks. The Black King's ascension ceremony requires that the World Tree, which is parasitic on YAMAL and gradually cultivated to perfection, extend three roots into its corpse to complete the ultimate leap.

BB's speedrun method is to cut off all the roots and finally destroy the core of the tree, thus eliminating the possibility of the ritual succeeding.

Just when Emiya was about to lose his patience with BB's trick of pretending to be pitiful and wiping tears, BB finally started to work seriously.

"Using the usual methods won't work. After all, the tree roots are crucial to the proper functioning of the ceremony, and the mastermind behind it won't reveal them. But! Hehe, with the all-powerful BB here, everything won't be a problem!"

BB floated to the front of the golden palace "Valhalla", gently waving the pointer in his hand, like an experienced magician waving a magic wand.

In the code field that is beyond the reach of the human eye, a huge number of characters are intertwined and mapped with each other, and finally cracked in one fell swoop by the pseudo-holy grail authority obtained by BB through cheating.

Ding!
The magnificent palace disappeared in an instant, like a non-existent mirage.

In their place are huge tree roots that support the sky and the earth.

Emiya controlled Susanoo and raised his foot to approach, only to discover thick tree roots, which were estimated to be hundreds of meters in diameter, wider than Valhalla. The root structure with bright colors spread from the ground upwards to another layer of electronic space. Under the cracked bark, countless star-like glows flowed regularly in it.

"Look, senior, this is the true form of the tree root."

BB pointed at the magical colorful light on the inside of the bark and said, "The Black Supreme used countless human lives and the spiritual resources converted from Servants to cultivate such a massive tree root."

"As expected, this is the reason why the Holy Grail War got out of control, right? The rules and process are not important. In the Black King's view, sacrificing countless Servants to the World Tree is the most important thing."

"That's right! That's so abominable~!" BB pretended to be indignant, which made Emiya look as if he had seen a ghost.

Logically speaking, doesn't this practice of ignoring the rules and letting the servants engage in brutal fighting with each other just fit in with BB's nature of liking torture?
"Hey! Senior seems to have a deep prejudice against BB-ki! Please, although BB is a cute devil-type junior, I have never been a stickler for rules and regulations, but I don't like such reckless behavior!"

"Well, a truly brilliant boss-level operation should carefully consider the user base and give everyone equal torture! This super perfunctory, crude and brutal ritual process is not worth watching at all."

"Come on, stop making bullying sound so righteous!"

Emiya stepped forward, holding up the Murasaki sword high. The sword flashed with a mighty aurora, and the terrifying golden light tore through the sky, destroying the thick tree roots in one blow.

Then, the chopped branches, like rootless duckweed, began to transform into broken and dissipated bark tissue under the flow of divine power, and transformed into illusory data streams.

"Huh?" BB suddenly flashed closer and extracted something from the shattered and dissipated data stream.

"Did you find anything?"

"Hmm—it's hard to say. Senior destroyed everything so thoroughly that only fragmentary records remain... The information concerns Vincent, the original instigator of the Holy Grail War... The data gap is so severe that even the almighty BB-kun can't seem to fix it, unless we find additional data sources."

"About Vincent..."

Emiya suddenly remembered Vincent's diary that he had seized from the top floor of the YAMAL at the beginning.

"Don't tell me, it really exists."
