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

Chapter 408 I know this match was won by Nero.

a moment ago.

Before Emiya's heavenly sword strike, which could tear the entire city apart, descended.

Draco remained seated comfortably on his crimson throne, leisurely holding a meeting with his familiars to discuss their plans.

“Avaritia, Superbia, Arcadia, Gula, Invidia, Ira, Luksuria.”

Draco summoned the seven true "beast heads" from among the monsters.

This is different from the monster army that is invading the human world. They are like the seventy-two demon gods, possessing names and super-scale power. They can even transform and disguise themselves, for example, into this kind of ferocious blood-red humanoid, speaking human language and possessing high intelligence and intellect.

Incidentally, the names of these seven monsters are direct transliterations of the Latin seven deadly sins.

As for the monsters that poured out of Rome to fight the Roman army, they were at most their incarnations, defective clones, or simply products of a failed evolutionary process. Like those nameless demonic pillars, they were not qualified to be named, but they were good at being mass-produced.

Draco had devoted a great deal of effort over the past year and was now full of confidence, having successfully cultivated powerful familiars and the demonic beasts, Hera, whose numbers were in no way inferior to those of the Servant soldiers.

Besides, the monsters can continue to be produced in unlimited quantities, but she took back the Holy Grail from you Servants. How can you mass-produce them? The advantage is hers!
Draco looked down at his familiars from his high position, "You are still a little short of the resources to advance to the adult form of the Beast, but the humans have sent elites to obstruct you and put up a stubborn resistance. What do you think we should do?"

"The human army is nothing special!"

Superbia sneered gruffly, "The so-called Divine Ancestor has been interfering with us for over a year, stealing the energy we use for evolution, and in the end, he has only cultivated this bunch of chickens and dogs! Our 'Scale' and 'Spear' incarnations will soon devour humanity! At that time, even if there are two or three gods like the Sword Emperor, we will not be afraid!"

Gula said with dissatisfaction, "It's not enough! The progress is too slow! We need to reclaim our power from the humans as soon as possible. That Sword Emperor is extremely dangerous. We must be careful to prevent him from colluding with the God Ancestor Amor!"

“Perhaps we should take some measures,” said Ira, who appeared as a woman. “Those high and mighty gods only gained their great power and authority by relying on local beliefs. As beasts that devour civilization, we should have the ability to deny human reason, that is, to possess technology with negative (Nega) characteristics.”

“Nega…”

The word "Nega" in Italian also means negation or the opposite.

Beast's "Nega" ability is also the power to completely negate certain forces or things.

For example, Goetia, the Demon King whom Emiya repeatedly mentions, is a false Solomon. His Nega skill should be "Nega Summon" (anti-summon), so all the power of the Servant system is ineffective against him.

This is, to some extent, "restraint is paramount".

Draco pondered his own power.

This was also the first time in her life that she had been granted the title of "Beast." Theoretically speaking, she should have already been aware of the various special abilities of the beast the moment she transformed into the Calamity Beast or even before.

But Draco is a little different. She hadn't figured out all her abilities before she fully developed into an adult.

Memories swirled in her mind, then surfaced from over a year ago, when she wasn't initially in such a terrifying state.

At that time, she was still Nero, despised by all. Her suicide attempt failed, and she watched the sunset three times amidst endless curses and filth. She felt endless resentment and could not accept that she had ended up being despised by everyone.

Just as he was about to die, he saw a monster whose entire body was covered in eyeballs, and a strange king with rich clothes, dark skin, and a face similar to that of a Jew.

Draco was unaware that it was Goetia, the demon king who had impersonated Solomon, whom Emiya had mentioned before.

He held a golden Holy Grail in his hand, gently pushing it towards you, saying, "I bestow upon you the miracle of rebirth, the calamity that transforms you into the principle of depravity, and launch a vengeance against this burning world."

Then the Demon King disappeared, and she immediately realized that all her injuries had been healed instantly. Not only did she have a golden cup in her hand, but she also saw those monsters with eyes all over their bodies capturing a large number of dragons from all over the Mediterranean and throwing them into the boiling magical field in the underground cavern of Rome, where they would undergo a transformation experiment with unknown time and unknown steps together with her.

After that, the memory was gradually filled with boundless madness, and everything was frantically transforming toward the goal called the Beast of Calamity.

Ultimately, these dragons made the monsters Hera, while the golden cup overflowing with filthy desires seemed to make her.

"The Principle of Depravity".

Draco stroked the golden cup, fully aware that it had incited human greed, causing smaller chalices to flow into the hands of various emperors, making the Roman cities of this world incredibly prosperous and leading people astray into extravagant and decadent desires. Finally, when she was completely free from these constraints, it would be time for her to devour them and enjoy a delicious meal.

This is her depraved philosophy as a beast.

Draco didn't know who the man who gave her the miraculous Jewish appearance was, or what his purpose was, but she loved this revenge drama, this magnificent feast of depravity.

"Although I don't yet know what my Nega will be, I'm sure it will give that arrogant guy a big surprise."

Draco's lips curled into a cold smile.

Suddenly, Ira, one of the demonic beasts, raised her head. "There's movement in the Pantheon! The spirit origins of the Ancestor and Amor are moving away; they've relocated!"

Upon hearing this, the other beast head, Invidia, was overjoyed. "They've brought this upon themselves, digging their own graves! With the pesky gods relocating, our expansion of the Beast Realm will roll forward like the wheels of history, unstoppable!"

“Wait a minute,” Draco sensed something was off. “The Ancestor of Gods and Amor have both left? Was the Sword Emperor you saw, who seemed to be a god, also gone?”

"No--"

Ira suddenly cried out in alarm, "Oh no! The opponent is gathering what appears to be the power of religious faith; the energy level is exploding—it's an unprecedented reaction at the level of a high-ranking god! He's raising his sword to strike—Lord Draco, you must hurry—"

Boom—!! Even Emiya probably couldn't have predicted that, with Pope Joan unifying the faith and exerting his power, the Aurora Slash of the Crimson Cross Sword would be even more swift and destructive than the one on Cyprus Island!

The sword light flew vertically for hundreds of kilometers, and the crimson and pure gold aurora illuminated the entire Italian peninsula—no, perhaps it was just a hair's breadth away from being cut off and becoming a true "peninsula"!

The entire cloud layer, completely open, split in two, just like the ground. Deep purple or crimson lightning extended from the cloud layer to the ground, roaring wildly and splitting into dense, flashing, terrifying branches of electric light. The storm rolled and condensed into dust vortexes, and even a few aftershocks were enough to blow up city districts and hills.

When Draco realized that the other two gods had moved away in advance to make it easier for the newly arrived Emiya to unleash his rapid attack, he immediately activated the Beast Power.

Although she was still a juvenile beast, far from adulthood, and her abilities were not yet fully developed, she was not about to sit idly by and wait for death.

"Witness the symbol of the beast!"

The golden cup in Draco's hand gleamed, and outside, in the city of Rome that had been cleaved and shattered by Emiya's sword, a golden light suddenly expanded, remaining unmoved amidst the storm created by the sword light.

That was completely different from the golden light scattered by the angels of the Cross; it was a blasphemous light, a light filled with filthy desires, a heavy aura of beastly evil that devoured mountains and rubble without hesitation.

At this moment, the seals of the God Ancestor and the Pantheon were no longer binding them, so the golden light continued to expand, and the inner part gradually emerged—it was a huge golden theater!
The massive theater building expanded violently from within, growing larger in size. Originally, Draco used this move to trap opponents and everything else inside the Golden Theater, then use her own and the monsters' ferocious output to completely crush the enemy. But this time, she used it in reverse, repelling and squeezing outwards.

Rumble!
The storm's airflow reversed in an instant. The howling dust and sand in the middle disintegrated and collapsed the moment the sword light and the theater clashed. The increasingly shrill and flashing divine thunder exploded, directly shattering hills, as well as the foundation and underground space beneath the ancient city.

The unparalleled sword waves, carrying torrents of intense heat and magic, collided with each other, further tearing the earth's depths and causing the scalding magma to roar, boil, and churn like scorching flowers blooming on the surface!
At the same time, the entire land was engulfed by a super earthquake of considerable magnitude. It can be said that the mountains in Italy were the first to be shaken by this shock, triggering widespread landslides, floods, and mudslides. Subsequently, the shockwaves continued to spread outward, shaking the surrounding countries along the seabed and land.

"That's incredible?" Emiya, who was watching this scene from afar, lowered his sword hilt. He glanced at his crimson cross sword, which showed no cracks whatsoever. Indeed, the power of the faith of the Cross is truly effective.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a certificate personally certified by Karl the Great.

However, his exaggeration wasn't just about his own sword, but also about the opponent's Golden Theater defense. Using a cage-type Noble Phantasm as a defense, and not being immediately broken, it seems that even if the beast hadn't developed into an adult, it had at least been a "veteran juvenile" for quite some time.

Even a less powerful god who isn't good at dealing damage probably wouldn't be able to kill her.

In other words, the Divine Ancestor, as the Supreme God, did not bring his full-fledged Spirit Foundation with him, otherwise Nero the Beast would not have had the chance to cause such a big mess.

"...Are you the Sword Emperor? Strange, your features don't seem to belong to a Roman..."

Draco's figure emerged from the Golden Theater, surrounded by the seven great monsters.

She scrutinized Emiya's face with great interest. Due to the excessively high output of a god-level being, the Prieratie disguise on Emiya's body had dissipated, so Draco saw his true appearance, with his striking red hair and handsome features exuding an extraordinary aura in the wind.

Well...Draco, being the larger version of Nero, shares the same aesthetic as Nero, so Nero's impression of Emiya is essentially the same as hers...

Emiya shrugged. "Although I wasn't born into Rome, your ancestors recognized me as a Roman, so I'm a Roman!"

"uh-huh?"

"Haha, that's only natural," a golden light flashed, and the golden figure of the God Ancestor appeared beside him. He was covered in golden armor, his arms crossed, looking around and nodding. "You Chaldea are the gathering place of heroes who defend the world and open up new horizons. Such romance is undoubtedly Rome!"

"Hmph, whatever. I'm not Rome, and I'm a god-ancestor who can't exert any more power. Quickly get out of here with the grunts!"

Draco looked displeased and waved his hand as if trying to drive away or eliminate some unwelcome character.

That's normal. She originally planned to make a name for herself in this singularity, but she was blocked by her own Roman ancestors as soon as she stepped out. She was then locked up in a dark room for more than a year, feeling very frustrated. A portion of her power was also diverted to other Roman states and swallowed up by them.

How could one not hate such a deep-seated grudge?
Buzz! As soon as she finished speaking, the golden cup in her hand overflowed with wild magic and pitch-black sludge.

Then, the sludge increased, turning into an ever-surging chaotic tide! The pitch-black mud seemed to possess a strange pollution and quality, swallowing up mundane things such as broken rocks and lava.

"How pitiful, how lamentable! Even though I am but an immature body nearing adulthood, your prosperity will also come to an end in an instant! For calamity comes from the sea!"

"Ok?"

Just as Emiya was wondering what was going on, he suddenly heard BB calling.

[Urgent news alert! A report from the Chaldea headquarters observation room: Deep earthquakes and massive waves of varying magnitudes have occurred in the Mediterranean, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and surrounding ocean regions where anomalies have been detected!]

If left unchecked, this disaster could easily escalate into a tsunami that could engulf an entire continent in a single day!

[By the way, the magical reactions that brewed the tsunami were exactly the same as the mud overflowing from the golden cup in the beast's hand!]

"I see." Emiya felt this was somewhat similar to the Chaos Tide that Tiamat had unleashed, both being special abilities that could engulf the entire globe within a certain timeframe. However, this beast was not yet fully grown, and clearly hadn't reached the level of affecting the entire world in one go.

Fortunately, thanks to his experience dealing with Emperor Karl last time, Emiya already knew that this kind of boss would have a "just go all out" approach and destroy the world without a care in the world, so he didn't panic this time like he did when dealing with Emperor Karl.

So, what was the key turning point in your victory against Charlemagne? The answer, of course, was Charlemagne!

Therefore, by the same logic, the key to victory in the battle against Draco (Nero) lies with Nero!
Emiya looked around. "Hey, Amor, you know where little Nero is around here, right? Remember to bring her over!"

He guessed that the beast on the other side used such a devastating move in a similar way to Emperor Karl – forcing him into a quick battle, and then there must be some trap, such as a Nega move waiting for him to fall into it.

Ignore all of Nero's unexpected tactics and just win the match using Nero himself.
