It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 128 The end of fate?
"..."

"..."

There was a palpable silence.

The silent atmosphere was filled with irrefutable silence.

The younger sister is naturally no match for the older sister, but this is not a suppression due to blood or authority.

Altria was so angry that she was shaking all over, her barren chest heaving, but she couldn't utter a word.

——Because lies don’t hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife.

——Especially when the little lion recalled all this deep in his heart, the feeling of grief and indignation became stronger and stronger, because this was indeed the case.

That was a long time ago. At that time, Artoria had been using not the current "Sword of Promised Victory (Excalibur)", but another holy sword "Caliburn".

That is the legendary Sword in the Stone, the so-called Sword of Choosing Kings.

Caliburn, or royal power, is a ceremonial sword created to train King Arthur into a king.

When its owner becomes a king who is consistent in his right actions or a perfect king, its power will be worthy of the name of a holy sword. If it is used as a weapon, once its true name is released, it can even exert power on the same scale as Excalibur...

Although it was only a ritual sword, the material could not withstand the surging magic power released by the Dragon's Heart when Altria gave her all.

However, in an early battle that violated the code of chivalry -

The Sword of the King, which requires its holder to do the right thing, was broken directly because of Altria's actions.

This incident has always made her feel deeply ashamed, and her heart is filled with self-blame and regret.

After that, the fairy in the lake appeared and gave her the current holy sword...

——In fact, this matter should have been thought of a long time ago.

It's just that people's mindsets are inevitably too deeply rooted. It is difficult for Altria to regard Vivian, the fairy of the lake who helped her many times and overcame difficulties, as the same person as Morgan, the witch who later caused her death.

Plus, that was indeed a long time ago.

She didn't consider this at all for a moment.

Now that Morgan had suddenly reminded her, the girl suddenly realized that this sense of separation was so strong that it seemed to tear her thoughts apart, forcing her to completely correct her own cognition and completely separate the two names "Vivian" and "Morgan"...

——Equated them.

The feeling of having one's head pressed down and one's cognition forced to change was not pleasant. The shock she felt at that moment was so strong that it seemed unreal, as if her entire stomach was being tightly grasped by a hand.

The more she thought about it, the more sad and angry she felt. The fairy of the lake, who she once believed in and respected, had repeatedly helped her overcome difficulties... However, now, those actions in her eyes were simply a mockery of her own stupidity and ignorance!
She trusted the Lady of the Lake so much at that time. Morgan must have been laughing at her naivety in secret!
She admired the Lady of the Lake so much at that time, and Morgan must have felt satisfied and pleased with her admiration!
As expected - just thinking about this is absolutely unacceptable!
The feeling of shame, along with burning anger, surged directly into the girl's mind, occupying all the threads of her brain.

"..."

"..."

After a long while, the silence was finally broken.

"Ugh...Morgan...!! I, I will never forgive you!!"

Altria's voice was trembling and she clenched her teeth, but her deep voice revealed an uncontrollable strong emotion of rage.

This strong emotion made her entire body seem to exude a cold aura, making it impossible to ignore her determination and anger.

"Hmph, it's still unclear who will not spare whom! It just so happens that I am a little itchy too, so I will teach you a lesson this time with reluctance..." Vivian also sneered. She was not afraid of this at all. She even clenched her staff eagerly, ready to take the opportunity to beat the other party.

She was actually very dissatisfied with the unfinished battle that had taken place previously.

Although he was indeed at a disadvantage, he just couldn't accept it.

Now, after finally completing her first pilgrimage, ringing the six bells, regaining the normal strength that a fairy in paradise should have, and lifting the seal, she naturally had some ideas.

I won't bully Altria anymore.

With our current strength, we can just have a fair fight.

At least Vivian has only completed one tour now, which is indeed the normal value for a paradise fairy, comparable to Yaling's level.

If you complete a few more pilgrimages, it won’t be the same.

........................

"Hello, hello, Mr. Xia Zhi, something seems to be wrong..."

Not far away, beside the crater, Fujimaru Ritsuka widened his eyes, subconsciously reaching out to pull the arm of the young man next to him, his face full of anxious expressions of "look quickly, look quickly"——

"Are you sure everything is alright? Don't you need to take a look? They seem to be really about to fight..."

"..."

"..."

"I'm sure it's okay."

Xia Zhi's expression did not change at all. He just leisurely looked at the remains of the demon dragon deep in the pit, as if he was thinking about something. He casually said, "And I'm watching, Li Xiang, you don't have to worry."

"Well, the point isn't really to "watch", right?" The female master of Chaldea twitched her lips, "In this situation, shouldn't we stop them and tell them not to act impulsively?"

The scene seemed tit-for-tat and tense, and one could feel the astonishingly hot hostility from a distance. No matter how one looked at it, there was something wrong.

Even though she was standing at the edge of the crater, as if she was standing next to a blazing furnace and being baked by the high-temperature heat radiation, she still felt that the heat over there seemed to be more dangerous than these waves of scorching air.

"Stop them? Tell them not to be impulsive?"

The young man raised his eyebrows and said in a strange tone, turning his eyes to look at her.

"How can we stop this? Just like you can't stop the sky, you can't stop the sea, and similarly you can't stop them from tearing each other apart..." They are like water and fire, and cannot reconcile with each other.

The sisterhood between Vivian and Altria is so deep and unbreakable.

If both of them were heroic spirits, perhaps they wouldn't need to dwell on the past, because their lives had already been frozen, their stories had come to an end, and all that remained was an unchangeable record... This is also the reason why most heroic spirits are more open-minded about their lives.

However, both of them are still "living in the present", even Altria is not dead yet, strictly speaking.

This is obvious and not so easy to let go.

This is not some meaningless continuation of previous hatred, but something that is happening right now, at least for both of them, it is in the present continuous tense.

"But why is that..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little confused, and a troubled expression appeared on her delicate face. Although they had been traveling with the group for some time and everyone had become more familiar with each other, she still couldn't understand where the grudge between the two came from.

And at this moment, a torrent of magical power finally burst out not far away.

It was in the center of the disaster battlefield that had just calmed down.

"The fight really started..."

Her expression froze instantly, and she subconsciously looked at the person in front of her.

"It's okay, everything is under control..." Xia Zhi said calmly, and stretched out his hand to casually draw a circle, circling the area where the two people were fighting. "In fact, a little venting will also help them get along with each other in the future."

"favorable?"

"That's right. Just like any dam, if it keeps accumulating energy without releasing it, it will eventually collapse due to the pressure... At that point, it will be too late to turn things around.

The young man turned around and said meaningfully, "But if the floodgates are opened regularly to release the floodwaters and relieve the pressure, the dam will be able to remain intact for a long time... This is the relationship between the two of them."

He hadn't expected that the relationship between the two sisters would become harmonious after their last fight.

That is simply impossible.

In fact, this is indeed the case. There has been no substantial improvement or progress. The two of them are not in a good mood when they meet each other every day. No matter what topic they talk about, you can hear the tit-for-tat between them.

Apart from being able to restrain themselves to a certain extent and not taking direct action, the relationship was basically the same as when they first met, still as stiff.

However, their self-restraint alone will not last long.

Altria may not understand human nature, but Xia Zhi understands it too well. He would rather let them vent their anger every once in a while than wait until their anger accumulates to the limit and naturally explodes.

The former is completely controllable and can be channeled and resolved...

The latter is truly irreversible.

It just so happens that I am fully capable of controlling the situation now, so it is self-evident which option I should choose.

Xia Zhi took a look at the two sisters' passionate fight. Although it might not be polite to say so, but with the change of perspective, he now did feel like an adult watching children fighting, and did not think it was that serious.

He retracted his gaze and looked at the huge corpse at the bottom of the pit again.

After thinking for a moment, the young man opened the door in the void, and several long silver chains suddenly shot out from the air with golden ripples.

It instantly wrapped around the dragon's body, then gathered, tightened, and bound—

Until it is taut and straight.

Although the special attack did not work, there was no need to worry about the opponent's resistance against a dead target. Under the restraint of the strong chain, the corpse of the dragon was also dragged into the door in the void.

Looks a bit familiar...

Worried, Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced at it and felt that the scene of the silver chain shooting out from the golden plane of the air seemed full of déjà vu.

But no matter how she looked at it, it was impossible for Mr. Xia Zhi to have any connection with Mr. Gilgamesh, so she just regarded it as a simple coincidence and didn't think much about it. She was just a little curious.

"Are you planning to use the dragon's corpse? Are you planning to collect dragon materials?"

"Correct."

Xia Zhi looked at the girl deeply and nodded meaningfully.

Judging from the information revealed by Ritsuka, the entire fairy kingdom of Britain will be transformed into an impregnable magic base in the future. Every inch of land will be a fortress built by the continuous accumulation of magical functions.

This is undoubtedly a big project...

But it is not impossible to accomplish.

Recalling Index's teachings about the core meaning of "If you want to change the world with magic, you must first draw the scope of the world you want to change", Xia Zhi smiled softly... The essence of the magic dragon Vortigern is the entire British Island incarnated into flesh.

In other words, its existence symbolizes the entire British island.

As long as it is processed through the magic of the grimoire and then a position is built on its body, the created "temple" will theoretically be connected to the entire British Isles.

Simply put, what happens on the dragon's body will also happen on the real island, and what happens on the real island will also be reflected on the dragon's body.

——Things suddenly became very simple.

——Reality seems to be converging towards the future, flowing towards the same fate.

Xia Zhi withdrew his gaze from the confused Fujimaru Ritsuka. It seemed that the information revealed by this Master of Chaldea was indeed of great reference value and was becoming a reality bit by bit.

So, maybe the prophecy about me sealing the stars...

It is also very likely that it is not groundless?
He keenly thought of the particularly useful new ability he had mastered through the Imagination Tree.

——「Gravity Control EX」.
