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

Chapter 283 The time for change has come to embrace everything

"The God of War of Echigo?"

Nono held the holy spear in his hand and looked at Eiry with a strange expression as she turned into another person in the blink of an eye.

To be honest, the contrast is quite big, not only in appearance, but based on her instantaneous profile perception, this pseudo-Servant's personality and temperament are almost the opposite of Eri's, like a cheerful warrior with a high spirit.

"Hey, speaking of Japanese generals associated with Bishamonten, the one who's most famous is none other than the 'Dragon of Echigo,' Nagao Kagetora, also known as Uesugi Kenshin from the Japanese Warring States Period, right?"

Kenshin Uesugi's childhood name was Torachiyo, a name he adopted after becoming a monk. After returning to secular life, he changed his name to Kagetora. After assuming power, Kenshin Uesugi spent his entire career in the military, even battling for territory with Takeda Shingen, known as the "Tiger of Kai."

And Takeda Shingen is a descendant of the Seiwa Minamoto clan, so in this dragon world, the struggle between the "Dragon of Echigo" and the "Tiger of Kai" during the Warring States period is essentially an evolution of the conflict between the Minamoto clan, one of the three families within the Snake Eight Families, and the Uesugi clan.

BB reacted very quickly and introduced the identity of the pseudo-servant. After all, this was a ceremony she had personally organized.

"Uesugi..." Nono suddenly realized. No wonder BB said that there was no need to use additional catalysts, because Uesugi Erie, as a descendant of Uesugi Kenshin, was a catalyst herself.

"And Uesugi Kenshin is said to have received the protection of Vaisravana, the God of Wealth—"

BB crossed his arms. "However, things are a little different here. Thanks to the dedicated assistance of the two Valkyrie sisters, it's no longer just Kenshin who descended into this world, but the true incarnation of Bishamonten."

Nono has no objection to this.

After all, if it was just a heroic general who was simply blessed by the gods, it wouldn't be worth it for BB to spend his own money to shake him down from the throne of heroes.

But...was it because she wasn't familiar with Japanese Warring States history? So, Uesugi Kenshin was actually a woman, just as unofficial historical records suggest?
Although Nono didn't read much Japanese history books, she was generally aware of the well-known unofficial historical record that "Kenshin was a girl". It was said that Kenshin's adopted son Kagekatsu called her "aunt".

Various folk rumors also support the claim that Uesugi Kenshin was a woman, including: "Kenshin remained unmarried and childless throughout his life, and was a passionate lover of men," and "his cause of death was recorded as 'Omushi disease' (a more common cause of death is stroke), and Omushi disease in ancient Chinese language alludes to a woman's menstrual period."

"...Yes! Please rest assured regarding my strength. I, manifesting as Ruler, will use all my strength to put an end to any accidents in this Cyber ​​Holy Grail War!"

Completely unaware of Nono's secret speculation, the woman in armor, holding the Bishamonten Daiho Lance, simply responded to BB with a smile, her tone sounding very "strong":
"As a divine being who has ascended to the strongest, invincible, and eternally undefeated form, Kenshin will annihilate all who stand in your way!"

"Please rest assured, everyone. Whether it's scouting the enemy, rescuing civilians, or eliminating the enemy, I'm also good at all the tasks. Please leave it to me. In short, you can leave everything to me!"

Wow, what a big tone...!
Nono was inadvertently shocked by Uesugi Kenshin's nonchalant and confident tone... She seemed to feel that Uesugi Kenshin said this to reassure everyone, but was it too exaggerated to make such a statement?
Big sister, please take a closer look at the two supreme beings who have already fought to the borderland, and then carefully consider our own strength, okay?

BB was quite satisfied with what he heard, and he clapped his hands softly, just to watch the fun.
"Excellent! Keep demonstrating our strength! The Niflheim domain fused with the YAMAL will soon rise to the surface, and we'll give them a head-on blow then!"

"Ah, of course!" Uesugi Kenshin raised his precious spear, its dangerous edge slashing across a semicircle. "We'll give them a head-on blow—no, if we're sure they're enemies, we'll just kill them all!"

As the incarnation of Bishamonten, Kenshin Uesugi possesses a variety of weapons. The big gun she holds now even has a turret function, just like Ugly Gozen, which can use melee weapons to perform high-energy long-range shooting that is enough to blow up a large area.

The ground was still shaking as they spoke.

Boom——!
Within two minutes, the vibration amplitude of the ground reached its limit, and the huge cabin space from the bottom of the World Tree had to squeeze out from the trunk. The external manifestation was thick gray fog erupting from under the ground, which quickly rose from under everyone's feet and blocked their vision.

A clear roar was heard from the thick fog.

Nuonuo immediately grasped the holy spear tightly. Although her body was covered in blood from the wounds cut by the wind blades when she rushed over, she had at least retained her strength.

BB's figure seemed to disappear in an instant. It felt like this AI was even more elusive than the enemy. The two Valkyries remained silent and looked unhappy. It was probably because they had just helped with the summoning ceremony and had used their abilities too frequently, consuming too much energy.

At this moment, Nono was hesitant about whether to let Melyuchina, who was still in dragon form, fly down to help. However, in order to avoid accidental injuries, Melyuchina had to remove the dragon form and return to human form to join the battle.

Once it's released, it takes a long cooldown to change back. But Nuonuo's original plan was to rescue people, and without the dragon form as a flying vehicle, the plan would have been ruined.

Fortunately, there is Uesugi Kenshin summoned by BB. As a pseudo-servant who descends specifically in Eri's body, and is also the incarnation of Bishamonten, he should be very reliable -

"Kenshin attacks!"

Uesugi Kenshin jumped onto the horse, and amid the astonished gazes of others who were asking, "Where did you get this horse from?", her mount, Fangsheng Yuemao, neighed and, carrying the God of Echigo Army, charged forward swiftly, turning into a flash of lightning and charging straight into the thick fog at an astonishing speed.

After a while, a voice came back:
"Kill them all! Kill, kill, kill!"

When Nuonuo heard this, his mood instantly became very nervous. What kind of Russian rescue method is this... Is this military god really reliable?

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.

"Cousin! This way!"

Su Xiaoqiang pulled Marianna and ran wildly in the corridor between the cabins. A black dagger shot out from her hand - this was a simple weapon called "Black Key" given by the church to new agents. It only needed a little magic power to be injected into it and thrown to have a good magic-repelling effect.

boom!
The dagger pierced the air and hit something in the thick fog behind it, making a muffled groan that was obviously from a living creature.

...Luckily, this thing can be effective against the remains of a servant called "Death Face". Sure enough, that Death Face is the so-called "demon", full of a black aura that is full of negative emotions.

Now, Su Xiaoqiang thinks that he has gained a lot of knowledge.

From the tree branches killing people at the beginning, to the entire ship being eroded by trees and sinking into the sea, and then being inexplicably told that the end of the world is coming.

In the end, even the survivors' base and other cabins were reduced to areas attacked by hordes of deadly monsters.

In just a few days, Su Xiaoqiang deeply understood the meaning of the warning given by Wei Gong at that time through personal experience.

In the face of this calamity, so terrifying that even nightmares dare not dream of it, no matter if it was a new agent like her or an old hand, everyone was equal. The feeling of powerlessness in the face of endless crises fell equally on everyone.

When Su Xiaoqiang thought of this, he began to worry about Emiya's safety again... It was said that he often disappeared from people's sight because he rushed to the front lines to fight these monsters. Now that monsters have appeared in these places, could it mean that Emiya has already -?
"Xiao Qiang, be careful!"

Just when Su Xiaoqiang was distracted by the random thoughts in her mind, Mariana next to her suddenly pulled her against the wall.

The next moment, the entire cabin shook violently. A terrifying rumbling noise filled the air, incessant and unending.

"here we go again!"

Su Xiaoqiang knew that this violent shock occurred after the thick fog eroded the survivors' stronghold. He always felt that the entire space was undergoing unknown changes, but everyone was trapped in the thick fog and even scattered from each other, making it impossible to judge what was happening.

The only benefit of this kind of vibration is that the dead monsters will not attack during this period. After all, no one can guarantee whether they can maintain their balance under such strong vibrations.

Su Xiaoqiang and her cousin huddled against the wall, panting and silently recovering their strength. They had no intention of chatting, as talking inherently consumed energy.

Their situation was not safe either. There must be monsters lurking in the thick fog. In this dilemma, Su Xiaoqiang's mind flashed with the figure of Emiya again.

Initially, Emiya rejected Su Xiaoqiang's offer to join the battle, instead assigning her to help manage a group of survivors. Su Xiaoqiang repeatedly claimed to be cooperating with Xia Mi and the others who were aligned with Emiya, taking turns managing the survivor base. However, deep down, she still harbored a strong sense of reluctance.

After all, he finally obtained extraordinary powers, but when he encountered an incident, he had to hold it in and could not go to the front line to fight. What's going on?

So Su Xiaoqiang was so angry that he couldn't find a place to vent his anger, so he simply spent all his free time on cultivation.

Many of the grievances and injustices we encounter in this world are ultimately due to our own lack of strength. Only the weak will blame others, while the strong never complain about the environment!
However, after the disaster she had always dreamed of actually happened, she finally realized that being a hero is not so easy.

No matter how hard Su Xiaoqiang struggled, he found in the end that his greatest achievement was to escape from the monsters.

Maybe it is much better than when I was still a mortal in the beginning, when I couldn’t even struggle, but it is not enough, it is far from enough!

She couldn't expect timely rescue every time.

"The vibration is over!" Mariana touched Su Xiaoqiang beside her, reminding him silently.

Let’s go! Su Xiaoqiang tensed up instantly, pulled up his cousin and sprinted forward.

Facts have proved that this slight increase in strength is not completely useless. At least they will not be killed instantly, and the time to escape has also become longer. This means that if they are lucky, they will always encounter support.

——So, not long after Su Xiaoqiang and his companions had been fleeing, they met a female general riding a tall horse.

"!" Su Xiaoqiang's first reaction was actually to run away, because those death-looking monsters mostly looked like ancient warriors with ferocious expressions and faces full of death.

However, after careful observation, she felt that the expression of this female general was actually a friendly smile that was visible to the naked eye.

...It's so strange, sister. It's a bit weird to put on a business smile in this kind of situation!

"Hahaha! I'm the military god of Echigo, Kenshin Uesugi!" Kenshin Uesugi didn't care if others judged her smile as natural or not. She was here to wipe out the enemy. "Martial luck is in the sky, armor is on my chest, and achievements are under my feet!"

Bishamon Tenbao's spear swung its sharp edge, and with one encounter, it easily pierced through the Assassin who was attacking from behind.

"The mere sound of a servant is like a clay chicken or a clay dog, put on a sign and sold!"

Uesugi Kenshin's confident aura seemed to infect Su Xiaoqiang and the other man, and the latter's expression gradually calmed down. Then Uesugi swung his gun and killed another black shadow.

She suddenly frowned and fell silent, carefully observing the misty area. Countless shadowy figures still lurked within, watching. "Besides you, there aren't any other survivors here, are there?" Su Xiaoqiang, unsure of their intentions, cautiously asked, "The YAMAL is very large. Usually, no one comes to this level. We only managed to sneak in from another level in our haste. I guess it's just the two of us..."

"That's easy to say!"

Kenshin Uesugi held his spear horizontally in front of him, making a posture similar to that of a cannon aiming.

"...?"

Su Xiaoqiang still doesn't know what will happen next.

"Bitian Cannon!" Uesugi Kenshin laughed again, and launched a terrible attack while talking and laughing.

Su Xiaoqiang was just about to ask the female general what cannon she had just mentioned, but the front end of the melee spear suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and then a loud explosion was heard behind him.

The thick fog, along with the dead followers running back and forth in it, were all evaporated by the Piten cannon fired from Uesugi Kenshin's precious spear!

Feeling the surging heat and the rushing waves of fire behind him, Su Xiaoqiang deeply felt that the power of these extraordinary monsters was unreasonable at all.

Of course, Kenshin Uesugi was not really indifferent to the consequences. She knew that the two mortals were the ones who needed to be rescued. She saw Fangsheng Yuemao turn slightly, and Kenshin Uesugi quickly hooked and released the handle of the gun, pulling Su Xiaoqiang and Mariana onto her mount.

Then he squeezed the horse's belly, and Fangsheng Yuemao turned into a magical stream of light and flew away, leaving the explosion, fire and shock wave far behind.

Of course, the price was that Su Xiaoqiang and the other man were a little dizzy because of Uesugi Kenshin's outrageous "speed".

You know, a Servant's horse is not something a human can easily bear.

When the two returned to the ground and stepped on the reassuring solid ground, the scene they saw was the sea outside.

"Hey, didn't they say the YAMAL was in the deep sea? Is it back above sea level now?"

Su Xiaoqiang stumbled down from the releasing moon hair, with a trace of disbelief on his face. It was really bizarre. According to that kid, all of them, including the huge tree trunk, were submerged in the deep sea, and it would be extremely difficult to rescue them.

It can’t be that the ship came up by itself, right?
Kenshin Uesugi didn't have time to explain so much to the two of them, she had to rush back to rescue the others.

Su Xiaoqiang supported Marianna as they trudged along the strange wooden floorboards towards the shore where the fog was beginning to dissipate. Finally, they saw a red-haired girl with a strong aura. She was arranging the rescue of the survivors, but she seemed worried and had encountered difficulties.

"We are here to rescue you! If you are unwilling to take this opportunity, you will die here completely!"

"Just die. Isn't it the end of the world anyway?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? The situation isn't that bad yet!"

"Damn rescue! How can we accept riding in something like this? It's a dragon!"

Su Xiaoqiang was watching the conflict between the survivors and the red-haired girl. When he heard this, he subconsciously looked up and saw that there was a giant dragon hovering in the sky, blocking out the sun and casting a huge shadow!
"Cousin..." Su Xiaoqiang had just been educated about the dragon race by a relative not long ago, "Could this be it?"

Mariana's expression froze. "This is... a giant dragon hatched into an adult."

No wonder the survivors were reluctant to leave. There must be quite a few hybrids among them, who knew more than ordinary people and were privy to the secrets of the dragon race. Now that the rescuer had brought a giant dragon with them, who knew if, after getting in their car, they would head straight for the terrifying dragon's lair?

"Now is not the time to dwell on this." Su Xiaoqiang always felt that it was nonsense to continue the stalemate.

Putting aside other things, what do these dragons want from these few humans? What's so special about these insignificant hybrids that the dragons should be concerned about? If they really wanted to be hostile, they would have already attacked them, not even bothered to talk. These exhausted people would have no power to resist, right?

"Xiao Qiang, not everyone can be like you. It's a luxury to keep humans sane forever."

"Cousin, I think their rationality has been almost worn out by the countdown to doomsday. I guess many people are starting to give up on themselves."

As the two were talking, Chu Tianjiao, dressed in tattered clothes, emerged from the mist. "In my opinion, there's no point in getting hung up on this situation. Just knock them all out and take them away."

As a secret party commissioner, Chu Tianjiao is very familiar with all kinds of situations. What should we do if the personnel don't cooperate? It's simple, we help him cooperate! He doesn't want to be decent, so we help him be decent!
He took the initiative to come over to help, "Little girl, will you consider my suggestion? Xia Mi and several other girls from your side will be arriving soon. The situation outside can change at any time, so it's better to cut the Gordian knot as quickly as possible."

Chu Tianjiao glanced at the giant dragon in the sky, but didn't react on the surface. After all, during the Tokyo Holy Grail War, there were many sightings of Melusina in her dragon form, and this was no secret to the secret party.

The problem is, even if they knew that there was a dragon blatantly hidden among the women around Emiya, who among the secret party would dare to cause trouble for Emiya?

After hearing what Chu Tianjiao said, Nuonuo did hesitate and began to consider knocking out these troublesome guys directly.

Suddenly the holy spear in his hand began to glow.

--what happened?

Lu Mingze's voice drifted from nowhere, "I suggest you speed up the process here. The Black Supreme is completely enraged and has begun to use his methods to overturn the table. If you don't deploy the Holy Lance in time and hide in Avalon, the consequences will be terrible."

"what!"

Thunder roared and the storm howled.

Everyone looked towards the source of the loud noise in panic. On the distant other side, which seemed like the end of the world, a giant covered in flames was fighting a giant that was flashing with light.

Their every move affected the atmosphere and all things. The red sky burning with flames and the dark sky covered with ice, snow and thunder formed two distinct halves of the sky. The sea was trampled under the feet of the giants, and the rising tsunami waves were spectacular.

Su Xiaoqiang covered his mouth in shock, "No way, that couldn't be Emiya——"

"Hmm, that one has the aura of Genji, no, there's also Susanoo..."

Uesugi Kenshin also rode back, along with Xia Mi, Regisleve, and the others. "That's not right. That ancient aura of the God of Fire is more like Kagutsuchi-no-Mikoto..."

"Don't be an idiot and just stay here! Run!"

Xia Mi was the first to speak, interrupting the stunned crowd. Her sharp eyes spotted the terrifying ripples hidden behind the massive waves in the distance! That was the so-called destruction, the power of the Black King to bring the world to an end!

"If you don't run now, you'll end up in the painting!"

She said it like a black king activated the two-dimensional foil.

All the people who had just woken up from their dreams were alarmed and took emergency action. Chu Tianjiao was the first to use Time Zero to knock out all the survivors who were still screaming, and then asked others to help send these people onto the back of the dragon.

Boom!

Human beings' struggle like ants continues, and the battle between the supreme beings has entered its final stage of madness. The polar storm has sounded the horn of doom, and Surut's flames are like a real sea of ​​fire that evaporates everything. The pale and powerless roar of thunder is like the wail of the world itself.

But what is even more terrifying is the invisible gravity circle.

A minute ago, while fighting, Emiya noticed that the light body on the opposite side suddenly stopped moving.

"Kill you—no, the World Tree is about to be destroyed. You all should die!"

The Black King said angrily.

Emiya knew what the other party meant. His flames almost burned at least half of the World Tree and its roots. Fortunately, a lot of it was still in the sea, otherwise it would have been destroyed instantly in the battle.

But he burned it easily, but it was not easy to cultivate the Black King before.

All his efforts were in vain, so he decided to initiate the final measure, "This foolish old world should have been cleansed long ago, humans, this is your end, the time for change has come-"

"Varied--"

As the Black King's voice fell silent, the black gravity circle under the light body suddenly began to expand.

At the same time, a huge suction force attacked the sea water and trees in all directions.

Water, air, trees, flames, and countless fragments were sucked into the black flat vortex, like a flat black hole. All three-dimensional objects were equally reduced in dimension and shattered, and sucked into the black vortex and could no longer be seen.

While Emiya stuck the Flame Sword into the ground and struggled to resist the suction, he was thinking frantically in his mind.

This is... item storage! ?

The ability to clear out everything on the surface of the world?

The sea water poured in endlessly, and Shirou suddenly saw modern warships rolling in the water, whether they were missile boats of dozens of meters or aircraft carriers of hundreds of meters, they were all indistinguishable under the judgment.

Countless human figures, along with the ship's hull, were broken into pieces and lost their shape before they even approached the black vortex. It looked as if they had "sunk" from the ground and disappeared never to be seen again.
