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

Chapter 365 is about to witness the beginning of creation!
"Boom, boom, boom!"

The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking.

Not long after the unprecedented colossal object ascended into the sky, the surrounding towns felt tremors of varying degrees, and the entire Frankish territory underwent an inexplicable change in that instant.

From an angle invisible to ordinary people, the vast territory conquered by Charlemagne—reaching the Baltic Sea in the north, Toledo in the south, the Atlantic Ocean in the west, and Poland in the east—in other words, most of Europe—totaling millions of square kilometers, saw azure light particles emanating from the churches and other religious institutions within the cities and villages.

If someone were to extend their observation range to cover the entire continent, they would be awestruck to witness these subtle blue lights that spread across the continent—pure spiritual beliefs that follow a certain order, all converging toward the flying holy city.

Like a goddess, her blue skirt fluttered in the sky above the European continent, and was gradually lifted and gathered.

Huhu——

The air currents swirl and blue light leaps.

As they traverse the airspace and converge, the blue light particles coalesce to form a vast and boundless stream.

In a very short time, as their density increased, they became clearly visible to the naked eye. They leaped and danced, and by the time they reached the areas surrounding Aachen, the holy city of Burgundy, Luxembourg, and Germany, the sky was already filled with deep blue bands of light.

At a cursory glance from afar, it resembles a terrifying canopy covering the earth.

Moreover, the situation was far more complex than that. Within the blue sky, the occasional hymns of sacred songs echoed in the air, creating a sacred atmosphere with harmonious and unified tones. The unrestrained and passionate hymns proclaimed the emperor's great love.

Wherever the blue light passed, whether in cities or towns, countless people, regardless of rank or social status, witnessed this scene and their faces lit up with fanatical piety. Their expressions were almost devoid of normal reason. Infected by the "divine assimilation," they chanted prayers in a frenzied tone, worshipping the miracle brought about by Charlemagne.

Moreover, in their view, Charlemagne, who was able to create such a magnificent spectacle, would surely lead them to the eternal kingdom of heaven!
Blessed are the humble, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven! Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted!

"Praise be to Charlemagne, for the blood of martyrs has become the grace of today, and broken swords have become ears of wheat, for there will never be war in the Kingdom of God!"

"May Almighty God have mercy on us and forgive our sins; may the great Charlemagne lead us into eternal life."

At this very moment, soldiers about to don their armor and go into battle, officials entering and leaving the city hall, priests in their robes performing baptisms, laborers working in workshops, and farmers cultivating the land... all seemed to have received some kind of command at the same time, stopping what they were doing and praying in the direction of the holy city.

Constantine and others witnessed all of this.

He stared in astonishment at the scene, not understanding what was going on with this sudden turn of events.

Constantine originally used a prop to conceal his identity and come to a city near Aachen in order to examine the operation of the "Heavenly Voice Assimilation" system up close in order to specifically replicate the new system.

To speed things up, they even brought in Leonardo da Vinci and Don Quixote from Chaldea, having them obtain information from here via remote communication.

Unfortunately, Charlotte and Fingel, two young people with relatively good technical skills, participated in the Hidden Ones project and are still struggling to survive.

Aside from the still-busy Nuwa, the only other technical experts at Chaldea are Leonardo da Vinci and Doflamingo. As for Emiya's AI named BB, I have a feeling her involvement in the assimilation and replication of the Heavenly Voices is for ulterior motives.

But what's going on here?

"Holy crap, what's that? A hanging garden? A city in the sky?"

Old Tang on the other end of the phone shouted, his eyes wide open, "How could such a big city just take off from the spot? This is neither scientific nor alchemical!"

"It's the Holy Grail! Charlemagne added the Holy Grail!"

Da Vinci was also intently focused on the flying holy city. "This is a good opportunity. Quickly use all the computing equipment to speed up the analysis of the components of that 'sky city'. I sense that the city contains the core of the entire system!"

"I've been gathering information about that place since I infiltrated, and now we're in the analysis phase, which is basically a slow and painstaking process!"

Constantine answered.

At this moment, he carefully used a spell to conceal his figure, while speaking in a low voice.

Even without such a bizarre upheaval, infiltrating towns near the Holy City is dangerous enough, and the Holy City is likely under the Emperor's surveillance. Constantine has no intention of taking such a big risk to enter the Holy City just to conduct a data survey.

"In terms of information, I originally thought that the part about 'celestial assimilation' was almost complete, but how the Sky City took off and whether it has other hidden functions have not been fully analyzed yet."

In response to Constantine's doubts, Leonardo da Vinci gave a very clear answer:
"That's obvious. You're not a Servant, so you're less perceptive. I can tell you very clearly—Charlemagne created a 'Noble Phantasm' the size of a city, so a large part of its functions are implemented in a rather fantastical style!"

"A Noble Phantasm? Such a materialized and enormous Noble Phantasm? It seems to defy conventional thinking..."

Constantine, along with his brother Norton, designed and manufactured numerous Noble Phantasms, so their experience was considerable. Generally speaking, Noble Phantasms are almost always bound to the Heroic Spirit, forming part of their Spirit Origin. Each time a Servant is summoned to the lower realms to become a Servant, their Noble Phantasm is almost always included.

I never imagined there were Noble Phantasms that required Heroic Spirits to collect materials and create them themselves.

“Well, that’s not impossible,” Leonardo da Vinci said, pointing to himself and raising his eyebrows smugly.

"A genius like me can design all sorts of gadgets. If you consider the 'smaller version of me' on your ship as a Servant, then I can also design a Noble Phantasm for another version of myself!"

"Let's put that aside for now. We need to inform Emiya and the others about the situation here. Then we'll begin replicating a more sophisticated mental interference system..."

Although Constantine rarely goes out and seemed somewhat inexperienced in dealing with an emergency for the first time, he pursed his lips and tried his best to remain calm, thinking that he couldn't embarrass his brother, and quickly came up with a solution.

While he dared not make any judgments on other aspects, Constantine was fairly knowledgeable about technological research. With the Atlas Institute's unique "high-speed thinking" and "segmented thinking" computing modes, he was confident that he could produce a finished product at an extremely fast speed based on the information he had collected.

"—No need. I already informed Emiya when what happened on your end."

Da Vinci said with some helplessness, "They happen to be in Frankish territory as well. Apparently, they're with that Plelatti looking for some lost book in the black magic workshop. Honestly, I don't know what to say about you guys, how could you possibly run into enemy territory at this time..."

"not good!"

Constantine suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with a massive stream of data, and almost simultaneously his pupils contracted, his gaze filled with horror:
"The computing equipment on Shadow Border has given me the results: that 'Holy City,' that Noble Phantasm—the whole thing is the core!"

"What do you mean?"

"This is a massive system that connects people across millions of square kilometers of Europe, with religion as the bond, spiritual beliefs as the medium of interaction, and tens of millions of people as the foundation!"

"And the Holy Capital is the core of this system. Charlemagne, residing in the Holy Capital, has complete control over it. He will definitely discover us! So will Emiya and the others!" Rumble—

The azure sky was interspersed with silver light. The flying giant city set up a cannon with a terrifying caliber. The immense magic power gathered to form a super magic cannonball, which flew out from inside the walls of the sky city and fell in several different directions!
One of the directions was clearly towards Constantine.

"Has Charlemagne gone mad?" Old Tang exclaimed on the other end of the line. "He's willing to sacrifice his own people to kill the enemy! Isn't he afraid of a popular rebellion?"

Da Vinci shook his head speechlessly. "Assimilation of divine voices, oh assimilation of divine voices! Old Tang, were you really listening just now? You've been brainwashed, how could you care about this? On the contrary, the people won't think they've been killed. They might even be hoping that after their physical bodies perish, Charlemagne will guide them into 'heaven'!"

"gone!"

Constantine wasn't as relaxed as the other two. Upon witnessing the flash of light on the Holy City walls, he summoned Shadow Border, who was in optical cloaking mode, from nearby.

He transformed into a swift and blurry figure and entered the submarine's hatch. Then the hatch closed, and the massive vessel, activated in autopilot mode, plunged directly from the real world into the imaginary realm.

The shelling from the Holy City arrived belatedly, but came up empty-handed.

The surrounding people and even the entire city were completely bewildered and unaware of what was happening when they were instantly annihilated into dust by a cannon with an extremely terrifying energy level.

"Deploy the Divine Power: Susanoo!"

Purple and white lightning danced wildly, and a tight and sturdy giant samurai armor expanded outward from Emiya's body, protecting himself and his companions while simultaneously condensing a golden, hundred-meter-long divine sword in his hand.

boom--!
Kamui drew his sword, unleashing the power of Susanoo, the God of Destruction. Golden light blazed brightly, and under Emiya's control, the divine sword unleashed several golden sword beams that flew into the sky, intercepting the magical bombardment descending from above.

"—!" Then came blinding light and a massive explosion that was so loud and sharp it was deafening.

The sky, which had been shrouded in an abnormally pure blue, was violently torn apart. The golden divine power was swept away by the explosion, causing the torrent of blue light particles in the air to become partially disordered.

Golden rays of light intertwined with the azure sky on the vast horizon, like gods battling it out or the end of the world looming.

Black Jeanne, Black Mary, and Prieratie, the key figure in the "Search for the Human Skin Book," all stared at the scene with astonishment, almost in a daze.

Unlike Nono, Erii, and the other girls, these girls were "uninformed ancients," so it was the first time they had ever seen a god-slayer go all out.

The blinding white light, so magnificent it stretched across half the sky, terrified them even through the protection of the Susanoo armor. It was far beyond human power, far beyond the power of heroic spirits... This was a mythical clash!
They originally thought Emiya was a warrior comparable to top-tier Heroic Spirits, but they had underestimated him!
If Chaldea is such a powerful organization, then the mastermind behind the distortion of various histories, who is regarded as a great enemy by Chaldea, must be equivalent to surpassing the gods.

All sorts of thoughts simultaneously surfaced in the minds of the three of them.

"Oh dear, what kind of mess is this?"

Nono sighed softly. She wanted to move her stiff body, but found that she couldn't straighten her arms.

Although she had recovered from the forced profiling process, Emiya, in order to protect her and all the girls in the "cockpit" as a precaution against potential safety issues caused by artillery fire, took the emergency into account.

The cockpit that Emiya carved out inside Susanoo wasn't actually that big. With one or two more people on board, it would still be fairly spacious. But now, with Nono, Erii, and Natsumi crammed in, along with Mashu, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, Shuten-dōji, and the French trio, it was a bit cramped.

[Hehe, BB thinks the senior's approach is great! This way, all the girls around will be forced to come closer. So sweet and soft, isn't that incredibly blissful?]

Emiya: “…”

I don't think that will work; women will only slow down my sword-drawing speed!

He opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say those words in front of everyone.

That's it.

Family members, let's focus on Charlemagne, who's far away.

"What's wrong with Charlemagne? He even developed floating city technology?" Xia Mi stared wide-eyed. "Modern people haven't even built a space carrier yet."

That's outrageous! Did the "ignorant" medieval people share advanced floating city technology with you?
"That's a Noble Phantasm created with the blessing of the Holy Grail!" the intelligence officer, Shirou Emiya, blurted out.

"Previously, he extensively spread the Heavenly Voice to assimilate and brainwash the people throughout the entire territory, and his prayers contained his personal praises, establishing a vast spiritual kingdom system. It was probably all for this moment—to complete his Noble Phantasm!"

Erii suddenly said, "That city has flown over!"

"Hmm?" Emiya gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

"Chaldeans from beyond the heavens, I know your purpose—" The Emperor's voice echoed throughout the Holy Capital.

"However, I would never accept a revision of history, because that would mean all our efforts to date have been in vain."

"I love humanity. The eternal earthly kingdom is the ideal I have pursued throughout my life. The true history of mankind is neither perfect nor correct. Conflicts and contradictions have never ceased. Only under the glory of God can all things be eliminated and we can reach the heavenly paradise where there is no more suffering!"

Emiya retorted firmly, "We can't possibly agree to that! If we don't restore humanity, all that will be saved in the end is your 'Otherworld,' while our original world will be sacrificed!"

If Charlemagne is allowed to expand his influence and rule the world, this singularity will only turn into an even more terrifying alternate world!

Singularities are merely a stain on human history that needs to be wiped away, but Lost Worlds are enough to threaten human history. If they are not stopped, the modern world that Emiya and his friends live in will never return!
"...I am aware of this as well."

The voice of the Holy Capital was somewhat low, "It seems that this is not simply a difference in ideology, but also a struggle for survival. It is truly regrettable. In other words, your Chaldea is completely incompatible with me, and the assimilation effect is insufficient."

“Then, you Chaldeans who wield divine power with your human bodies,” the Emperor said to Emiya, “accept the challenge! With your divine bodies, lay the foundation for our paradise!”

"I bear witness that in the beginning was the working!"

The Holy City's buildings instantly transformed, resembling a massive, fully unfolded machine, forming a fortress-like giant the size of a giant city, yet possessing human-like features!
