Chapter 451 The Heretical Cult's Holy Maiden: Achieving Immortality Through Blindly Eating Fish

Inside the isolated incubator.

Yaobikuni pinched her nose and endured the stench as she devoured the demon pillar experimental subject that she had painstakingly captured by hand, using it to satisfy her hunger while suffering the pain of the Black King's curse on her internal organs.

She originally thought this was just a desperate and risky measure she had decided to try out in a situation of utter helplessness, but the reality far exceeded her expectations.

"You've actually... recovered a little?"

The magnanimous nun gently covered her heaving chest and her abdomen, which rose and fell rhythmically with her breathing, with her large hand. She was certain that the pain and torment caused by the Black King's residual consciousness had been alleviated... little by little, with her act of absorbing the energy.

My body has recovered, but not completely. Eating this only relieved the symptoms by about 1%.

Even so, Yaobikuni's beautiful eyes, which had been filled with confusion due to her predicament, immediately flickered with an amazing hope.

In other words, as long as she eats these unappealing and even more unpalatable tentacle monsters than Shi, her original plan to devour the Black King could continue to move forward!

She will gain a perfect and flawless foundation, and she will create a mythical and amazing feat—ascending to become the Beast, a calamity rooted in human civilization!
At the same time, he also became the Bodhisattva described in Buddhism who saves this world and universally delivers mortals to the Land of Bliss!
As she pondered this, the image of the deep, dark sea before Yaobikuni gradually surfaced, bringing to mind faint memories of a time hundreds of years ago. Because of her lineage, she was estranged from the world and far removed from human habitation; her childhood, when she was the center of attention in the ancient cult… was spent wandering after the cult's collapse, witnessing the ugliness of the world and enduring countless hardships…

However, the true so-called beasts are not much different in nature from human love; they use the guise of salvation to commit extermination.

For example, Charlemagne, who appeared in the previous singularity, claimed to save all of humanity in the name of God, and his ideals were full of love, but his actual actions were to mentally manipulate all of humanity, immersing them in illusory dreams. The Demon King Goetia intended to perform another "Genesis" to reshape the history of the entire planet, but in reality, it was based on the destruction of the entire history.

If Yaobikuni had the qualifications to be promoted to a beast, then the result of her success would be nothing more than ostensibly performing salvation but actually carrying out destruction from her own perspective.

A person who would not hesitate to use the Holy Grail to create singularities and plot for self-promotion, a person who acts in secret from beginning to end and faithfully carries out his own purpose, does not seem like a savior bodhisattva traveling the world.

...But to accomplish her grand undertaking, these demon pillar prototypes made by Priladi from various scraps are far from sufficient in such a small quantity.

Yaobikuni clearly realized that she wanted more, she needed even more!
The nun's enormous body had been delayed for far too long because of her slow progress in her advancement plan. At this moment, a faint hope suddenly appeared, and she immediately tried everything to grasp this tiny hope. It must be said that Plerati sometimes had a few mental issues and minor ailments, but her insight into and understanding of people's hearts was extraordinary.

Sure enough, the nun decisively abandoned her original plan and tried to break through the seal barrier with the body that had not yet fully merged with the Black King, so as to wipe out all the similar monsters in the four seas and oceans!

"Hehehe, Emiya-sama, she believes it! She believes it!"

Plerati was making strange noises and giggles on the communication channel, with a large, blood-red mask on her head, which made Emiya feel a little disgusted.

"Don't make any noise, I'm thinking."

Damn, is this black magician going to ride off into the unknown on the path of enlightenment and never look back?
Damn it, now their team has a beast like Draco, a funny guy with the "Dreamlike" skill, a Typhon Dragon Gundam, and a bunch of mythical-level Servants expected to appear in the future. What are we going to become of Chaldea...?

Emiya rubbed his temples, feeling slightly annoyed. He reached out and moved the red communication image that was jumping around in front of him to the side, then looked at the backstage screen that Nuwa and the others were sharing... which was what Plerati called the live channel broadcast.

Ha! This barrage of comments was just a temporary addition to the viewing system. They haven't even fixed the bugs, so naturally there's no multi-screen live stream sharing function. It's just a background monitoring screen.

So what Emiya saw was a huge, dark passageway that occasionally revealed patches of deep red blood. As the camera moved, the sound of viscous liquid occasionally dripping or flowing through the capillaries in the cavity walls echoed from all directions and was eventually played back through the control panel.

"Wow, this... is that nun's 'inside view'?"

"Hehe, look! This is exactly what men love to see: a sexy, revealing, naked female body!"

Emiya didn't respond, but rolled his eyes and retorted, "...I sincerely suggest you become a live streamer, and then adapt this sentence into the title of your live stream. I guarantee you can fool a lot of viewers and attract a huge amount of traffic."

His mythological film only garnered a few views! He only found a suitable audience through platform-forced push notifications (mythological rituals). If you really want explosive viewership, you'd have to resort to color!

With Plerati's uncanny ability to create illusions, viewers will likely be kept in the dark 365 days a year, being sold out and still counting the money for her!

You agree, right? Director Lu Mingfei, the e-sports king who firmly believes in the existence of virtual streamer Magic☆Merry and spends his salary on tips and rewards year after year to strive for the top spot on the leaderboard!

"Speaking of which, we've been investigating this singularity for so long, do we still have any more information about this Yaobikuni?" During a break from preparing the plan, Emiya decided to change the subject. "After all this time, it seems we still don't know why this nun is causing trouble."

“Yes,” Nuwa said.

"Huh? You've found out?" Emiya was surprised. He had been busy advancing the Spirit Origin Ascension Project and organizing the Mythology screenings these past few days and hadn't picked up the original investigation yet.

"Actually, these kinds of things don't just require the efforts of those of us on the front lines. Sometimes, contacting headquarters can yield unexpected results."

Nuwa sent out some written information: "I compiled the profiling results of Nono, Reggie, and Leif and returned them to headquarters. As a result, Yuan Zhinu from the Dongying team provided new query results today."

Nuwa spoke slowly and deliberately:
"By combining the information they brought with the existing information, as well as some secret party information from headquarters, we can make some inferences... Yaobikuni was a figure from the Kamakura period to the Nanboku-cho period in Japan."

"The basis is that the legend of the Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis began in the 15th century, and immediately before that, there was a significant event recorded in history within Buddhism—the 'Shingon-shu Tatekawa-ryu,' a branch of Esoteric Buddhism, was wiped out by monk soldiers and its scriptures were destroyed."

"Yuan Zhinü said that the Hebi-Hachi family still has some preserved historical materials, saying that the 'Shingon-shu Tachikawa-ryu' is a cult that distorts Buddhist doctrines, greedily kills, and leads people to evil. It is highly likely that it was supported by the Oni Clan, who were at odds with the Hebi-Hachi family at the time. But the truth is not that the monks wiped out the family, but that the Tachikawa-ryu followers killed each other and were wiped out."

"Because the massacre was so sudden and there were so many deaths, the Snake Clan did not have any specific investigation results at the time. But before that, it was certain that the head of the Tachikawa school had a daughter who was very much loved by the believers."

"It is said that she grew up in the deep mountains, possessed extremely high bloodline and extraordinary abilities, but suffered from an incurable disease since childhood, which made her unable to move easily. Her way of thinking was also detached from the world—because she did not come into contact with the outside world but often read the stories of that era, she understood the world according to various collections of stories..."

"Wait a minute, this setting seems a bit familiar..."

Upon hearing this, Emiya's heart skipped a beat. At first glance, this was a complete ancient version of Sesshouin Kiara's childhood from Fate!
Moreover, an incurable disease... extremely high bloodline... never having contact with the outside world for many years and understanding the world through stories... Is that right?! Your childhood character as an old nun, doesn't it overlap a lot with Erii's?
Nuwa spread her hands and said, "She was most likely targeted because the Snake Clan judged her to have 'extremely high but unstable bloodline' or something like that. They were about to carry out a manhunt and torture her, but as we all know, the Tachikawa School was destroyed, and the matter was eventually dropped."

"The Snake-Headed Eight Families at the time certainly did not expect that such a woman would survive the massacre and wander around, passing through fishing villages. She may have accidentally eaten mermaid flesh with the blood of the White King, gained amazing evolution, and thus left behind the legend of the Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni who 'ate a mermaid and remained young for eight hundred years'."

“If I were to give this story a novel title, it would have to be ‘The Cult Saintess: Immortality Begins with Blindly Eating Fish,’” Emiya commented. “I can’t imagine what she would do to cause trouble, someone who has lived for hundreds of years.”

Nuwa said, "A person who has lived alone for hundreds of years has basically lost all her relatives and friends. That's too long. A normal person's spirit would have been worn down to an empty shell by the years, but she still maintains herself and even retains a strong ambition. So her plan must not be for others, but for herself."

Drop drop!
After chatting with Nuwa for a while, Emiya noticed that Prierati was frantically sending him messages and sending window shakes. "What's wrong? Are you finally tired of watching the surveillance footage?"

"No, no, that nun has already started her operation, intending to break the seal barrier. We have to help her! My dear Emiya, my beloved Nuwa!"

Plerati spoke in a sickeningly sweet tone, and Nuwa waved her hand as if to drive away the unseen, nauseating stench:

"Okay, okay, call me 'sister' if you need anything, otherwise just say 'hello', right?... My system has been successfully integrated, and Constantine is busy adjusting the dragon vein structure. Soon, our entire singularity system will have a new final boss named 'Yabikuni'."

Constantine also popped up a message, "Thank you all for your hard work. I'm helping to adjust the dragon veins, and I'll leave the matter of informing all the Servants to Miss Prellati...."

"No problem, no problem! Hehe, the event that was temporarily suspended has started again, and they've even added this super experience-point boss. They should be overjoyed!"

“Oh, right,” Constantine said with a troubled expression, “Miss Nuwa, the heroes of the Argo, who are still stuck in the ‘viewing seats,’ are strongly requesting to participate in the event.”

"Alright, alright, anyway, the trial run of the new version of the viewing system... is complete, and the results are in. Let them set off. Oh, and Constantine, don't forget to have them registered in Chaldea's Servant files, otherwise they won't be able to enjoy the 'Spirit Origin Experience Points' from raiding."

Emiya suddenly remembered the group of people who had been used as tools. He told them to sit still and not do anything, and then they stared blankly as the other Chaldea Servants started their raid on the boss. They were probably all red-faced and full of anger, rubbing shoulders and preparing for battle...

Of course, the shrewd Jason is an exception; he would probably be dragged away by the enthusiastic Hercules and forced to sail the ship for his good friends.

Yes, good partners, we'll be a fleet of ships for life!

Somewhere in the East China Sea, Fat Caesar stared blankly at the churning waves, feeling a deep sadness.

"Hey, how can the event stop? My giant ocean-themed burger, my super salmon sashimi, and my steamed animal paw, braised eel, braised carp, stir-fried fish fillets with three kinds of delicacies, and mixed crab meat and assorted vegetables with kudzu root rice and sole..."

The fat man, standing with his sword against the sea breeze, rattled off a long list of dishes, showing no signs of stopping. Li Shuwen, unable to bear it any longer, stepped forward and interrupted him:
"Brother Caesar, you're on a mission, could you please stop reading?"

Li Shuwen's tone was somewhat low, and listening to it made him hungry.

As he spoke, he remembered the various luxurious Chinese meals he had ordered from Da Vinci's shop over the past few days, almost spending all the points he had painstakingly accumulated.

Unfortunately, some unscrupulous merchants use deceptive tactics, spouting all sorts of money-grabbing rhetoric, such as, "Those who spend their days practicing martial arts and chasing the pinnacle need to calm down and strengthen their bodies. To be strong and healthy, it's better to supplement your diet scientifically than to practice martial arts all day..."

Li Shuwen didn't understand science and technology very well, but he had a lot of faith in Chaldea's cutting-edge research, so he was fooled by Leonardo da Vinci into buying a lot of overpriced "fitness and muscle-building packages"—

Fat Caesar could not empathize with this.

"I eat simply to satisfy my appetite. Chaldea is quite well-designed. It would be best if I could taste all the delicacies from different cuisines and have beautiful women by my side! But I don't have enough points. I don't know where the Demon Pillar monsters we use for training have gone. The fixed points for patrolling along the barrier are nowhere near as good as participating in events and killing monsters to earn points."

With the Servant panel system and the growing popularity of Chaldea's communication network, Servants from different eras have begun to adapt to modern information technology, and it is not surprising that they occasionally use terms like "monster farming" or "point grabbing" in their mouths.

"Wait, a new mission has appeared!"

Li Shuwen noticed a new text notification pop up on his servant panel: "The new world boss 'Yaobikuni' has officially spawned... Uh, does that mean some kind of powerful enemy subjugation quest?"

Several strange cries came from afar, and Fergus and Finn exclaimed in surprise:

"Participation guarantees experience rewards! Points earned during the event are doubled, and defeating the final boss grants triple experience, while capturing it alive grants five times... With so many benefits, you can rise to the top in one step!"

Although they haven't seen the Boss yet, the male Servants on the ship seem to have already anticipated that a massive amount of points will rush towards them like a giant mountain of treasure!

The screams of several female Servants on the other ship were even more shrill and terrifying: "The Boss's head is mine! Hehe, Lord Emiya is mine too!"

"You Japanese country bumpkin, just hand over the Boss's head to me!" "Hahaha, what are you pretending for, you Western red lizard? Go to hell!"

"Come on, Assault Girl, let's settle this once and for all!" "French Cake Girl, believe it or not, I'll treat you to Demon Pillar Cake!"

"Fight to the deep sea and capture the nun alive!"

"Take down one person, and you'll get an extra thousand points!"

"Damn points slave! Your points are rightfully mine! Hahaha!"

"What are you laughing at? Aren't you the same?"

Listening to the commotion of those who hadn't even touched the Boss yet, Li Shuwen wiped his gun. "...They're really crazy."
