Type-Moon: My Destiny Guide

"How did He come back to life? Wasn't He killed by a Noble Phantasm?!"
Not only were the heroes of the Black side astonished, but even in the King's Chamber of the Red side, the Empress stared at the giant Adam unleashing his power in the magic projection, her face turning extremely grim.
"Black Avisbro, I see, you're one of them too!"
"After all, he was brought up by Rokudou Reika. But I really didn't expect that the Primal Giant is still alive and hiding in the courtyard." Now that things have come to this, Amakusa has returned to calm. "But I have to admit that the Giant Adam can indeed play a great role. If we want to get rid of him, the Black side will have to pay a heavy price."
The current factions are clear: although the Black and Red factions both oppose the Blue faction, they are also rivals. If the Blue faction is defeated, the Holy Grail War will eventually return to a struggle between the two factions.
"That's exactly right." Although he was filled with murderous intent towards Black's actions, Semiramis gritted his teeth and endured it. "Until we find the right opportunity, we must tolerate the antics of these Blue guys."
"Don't worry," Amakusa said, closing his eyes and feeling the divine inspiration, before smiling.
"The balance has begun to tilt, and the opportunity that we and Black have been waiting for is about to arrive."
Meanwhile, on the other side, the new moon was communicating with Shakespeare through the Command Seals:
"how is the progress?"
"Oh, Master, just as you expected, all things have begun, and we are running headlong down the path to destruction! Ah, how wonderful! Let me give you a thunderous cheer!"
"Hmph, that's fine then."
Ignoring Shakespeare's impassioned ode, Shuoyue cut off the communication, turned her attention to the scene, and then frowned deeply—
The resistance organized by the Black side in a hurry was much weaker than he had imagined.
Aside from Joan of Arc, who rushed to the front lines immediately and used the Holy Banner to hold back the giant's advance, the others unexpectedly remained still. Instead, they moved out of Adam's attack range, each manifesting a weapon, seemingly wary of the giant's every move, but in reality...
"Are they on guard against me?" Upon realizing this, Shuoyue quickly reviewed her past actions but found no oversights.
So the problem lies in something he doesn't know.
"And the most likely place for problems is Shakespeare. This witty fellow is capable of anything for a good story, such as informing Amakusa and the others about me ahead of time; or it could be Amakusa who, in order to maintain balance, informed the Black side about the Blue side's affairs..."
Or perhaps the truth of the murder has already been found by the heroes, which is not too difficult.
Even though the incident was exposed earlier than planned, Shuoyue did not show any panic. Since he could consider so many possibilities in an instant, it meant that he had anticipated this beforehand, so how could he not have made preparations?
not to mention--
"You've already lost once you've finished with Shakespeare, you laughable heroes."
With an undisguised sneer, the young man turned to look at Avisbro, who had appeared behind him:
"So, since you've chosen to erupt in silence, shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation?"
Upon hearing this, Avisbro's movements remained unchanged, but a piercing glint flashed in his eyes hidden beneath the mask:
"Then let me ask you, who holds the power of the Master, how much do you want from my puppet, the original Adam, before you will be satisfied?"
The roar of the giants and the clash of swords and banners faded away in an instant. The puppeteer's words, concealing his anger, were so clear in the Hanging Gardens. Sakumo subconsciously looked around and found that most people's expressions had not changed. Joan of Arc was focused on fighting the giants and did not pay attention to the words spoken here. However, apart from her, Achilles looked angry and sad, Chiron drew his bowstring, and even Karna raised his spear.
As I expected, it has already been discovered... But it doesn't matter. At this point, there's no need to dwell on which link went wrong. Just let out all the pent-up energy you've accumulated so far.
So, when confronted by Avisbro, Shuoyue simply responded with a cold sneer:
"Is there even a question? Naturally, it is used as an effective pawn to deplete the enemy's strength in the final battle until it is completely exhausted—of course, if it is still alive after all the enemies have been wiped out, then the Hanging Gardens will be its final grave."
From beginning to end, the choice of Avisbro was solely based on the power of his Noble Phantasm, "Crown of Wisdom." As for Adam, who appeared in the form of a giant, he was merely a valuable consumable to Shuoyue. Even if he was rescued, it was not out of reluctance, but simply because he could be reused.
Roar! ...
The giant let out a defiant roar, and amidst the earth-shaking tremors, the obsidian sword he wielded grew heavier and more powerful, yet he could not point it at the youth who had brought him suffering. He could only repeatedly, as if venting his anger, apply his weight to the saintess.
“Then, forgive me for defying this fate.” Faced with Shuoyue’s cold words, Avisbro immediately refused. “Saving the world, saving humanity, saving my people… that is the meaning of Adam the Giant’s existence. Your actions are undoubtedly an insult to me, an insult to my wishes—I can never forgive you.”
"Heh..." Faced with the hero's anger, the young man chuckled softly, "How interesting. Let me return every word you said: This is too unreasonable. I never expected you to be so emotional."
This is of course different; you are insulting my personality and dignity.
The Kabbalah puppeteer must have wanted to answer that way, but before he could, he was already unable to speak.
boom!
The gunshot silenced all other sounds. Whether it was the heroes whose pupils constricted or the saintess who looked back in astonishment, they all became the backdrop of a black-and-white silent film in that instant.
Time seemed to sink into amber in an instant. Among the crowd who had lost their color and movement, only one person withdrew his ferocious fist. The iridescent blue in his eyes trailed smoke, and blood and fragments were reflected in the extinguished radiance. As the young man removed his disguised black robe, revealing his strong upper body, he withdrew his hand and pounded his chest heavily.
Then, the second color spread out wildly, and the wings of the fallen angel, which took everyone's breath away, bloomed, with tearing blood-red light shooting straight into the sky.
"With the First Command Seal, I command my puppet to inscribe your existence into the soul of the Primal Giant!"
"I command my puppet with the second Command Spell. I am power, a will that is above you!"
"With the third Command Spell, I command my puppet to unleash its final skill, 'Peaceful Fig,' to offer a final blessing to your beloved puppet!"
Thus, in a counterattack that was both expected and unexpected by the Black and Red sides, the Blue side's puppet, the towering primordial giant Adam, let out a deafening roar. As Avisbloon's spiritual particles merged into the puppet's body, its body swelled up again, and a green halo appeared behind it. Its superior posture was like that of a god!
Its height is thirty meters, and it has reached the second stage of its Inherent Barrier Incarnation—[Crown of Wisdom], reigning supreme!
Chapter 530 Reversal (Alter)
It must be admitted that Avisbro was indeed a genius. The primordial giant Adam, which he forged on the Kabbalah base, is indeed comparable in quality to the myths of that time.
Unfortunately, due to the mysterious decline of the environment, even though his work could be theoretically reproduced, the resources in reality did not allow Adam to achieve it all at once. So Avisbro settled for second best and transformed the puppet from a completed type to a growth type. By eroding the surrounding earth in a 'paradise-like' way, it gradually absorbed power and thus achieved a three-stage leap as the paradise expanded.
Once the puppet is completed, it will grow to a size of one thousand meters. At that time, without a large army of top-tier Servants to surround it, it will be impossible to fight against it, and incidentally, it will cause the person responsible for hiding to die of stomach pain.
The giant's first appearance was only fifteen meters tall, a mere figure at his very beginning. But with the blessing of the Command Seals and the sacrifice of the Creator, the Primordial Giant Adam had reached the second stage. Compared to his initial, babbling stage, the most obvious characteristic of this stage is—
"Still growing! This guy... is growing at a visible rate!!!"
Even without Chiron and Atalanta's reminders, everyone could see that Adam was visibly growing larger. In just thirty seconds, his height had jumped to thirty-five meters. What was even more terrifying was that the golem's growth curve was not fixed, but was climbing exponentially upwards!
This is the second-stage puppet, which abandons performance improvements but in return offers unparalleled growth potential!
"At this rate, the Primal Giant will reach a height of a thousand meters in less than ten minutes!" The sage's wisdom warned. Chiron decisively abandoned his guard against the new moon and aimed at the puppet, the arrow streaking across the sky.
"The incomparably powerful and fierce God's Hammer!"
He fired a triple volley of arrows, each imbued with immense magical power, its destructive force enough to shatter city walls and tear the earth apart. As the arrows passed, the stone floor shattered, instantly forming a massive crater-like depression. Faced with such a ferocious attack, the puppet didn't even consider stopping it; it simply swung its greatsword, sending Joan of Arc flying with a resounding thud.
The arrow struck, but the next moment, a blinding golden light emanated from the giant's body. One arrow bounced off, one broke, and one lost its power and fell like dust.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" The giant roared in grief and anger. He could feel that this was the final protection left to him by his creator father.
【Stable Fig EX】
According to legend, Avisbro was murdered by a man who was jealous of his talent, and his body was buried under a fig tree. Later, because the figs produced by this tree were so delicious, the people, incredulous, dug up the fig tree and uncovered the murderer's crime.
This is a rare skill that can only be activated in desperate situations such as retreat or annihilation. It will grant Adam a period of invincibility and a massive amount of life regeneration.
For the second-stage puppet, such enhancement would undoubtedly plunge the heroes besieging it into despair. Moreover, its own power was unreasonable enough. With just a simple, powerful blow, it knocked the saintess into the wall, causing her to cough up a mouthful of blood.
It was like a heavy tank that had been rampaging across a 15th-century battlefield. What's more, this tank wasn't mechanically controlled. Under the force of the Command Seals, Adam's control had fallen into the hands of the New Moon.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at Shuoyue again. At this moment, the young man was slowly putting on his clothes. Six wings and eighteen command seals were unfolded on his chest, making him look as strange and terrifying as a fallen angel.
First Wing, New Moon.
Second Wing, Artoria.
The third wing, Shakespeare.
Fourth wing, Avisbro (already consumed)
The fifth wing, Jack the Ripper (transferred from Linxia who has lost her magic).
The sixth wing, Siegfried.
The Black and Red sides naturally couldn't determine which Servant corresponded to each wing, but in any case, the fact that the Blue side had six Servants weighed heavily on their minds, because nearly half of the Blue side's Servants did not appear out of thin air, but were taken away from the Black and Red sides, which could be described as a double loss.
The Akatsuki organization belongs to that group.
What they found even more unbelievable was that Sakumoku, despite being a Servant, possessed so many Command Seals. How did he manage that? Was it a Noble Phantasm? An Inherent Skill? Or was his very existence something special?
"You seem quite surprised, but is it time to get to the bottom of this?" Now that the Blue Team had come into the participants' view, Shuoyue stopped hiding her intentions and spoke frankly, "Defeat me, and the Holy Grail War can return to normal; otherwise, the Greater Grail will fall into my hands—once you understand this, you've already decided what to do next, right?"
The first to respond to this statement was none other than Red Semiramis. As magical runes appeared all over the Hanging Gardens, the movements of the Primordial Giant Adam suddenly froze, and the obsidian sword aimed at Joan of Arc's face came to an abrupt halt.
"I have already slowed down its growth, but it has been extremely taxing. My Master and I can't hold on much longer. If we want to stop this giant, we must do it as soon as possible!"
As the mistress of the Hanging Gardens, how could the Empress tolerate the giants continuing to encroach on her territory? It was only natural for her to break the contract and take action first. Besides, the primordial giant Adam at this time was no longer a powerful force that one side could defeat alone.
"Brahma, cover the earth!"
"The Arrow of the Lawsuit!"
The scorching rays and the shower of stars fell together, but were all blocked by the protective golden light. A green stream of light weaved through them. The warrior, driving the raging chariot of immortality, climbed onto the giant's thigh. The chariot, disregarding the damage, rammed into Adam's body. At a certain moment, Achilles' expression turned fierce. He dragged his lance, and the sharp tip of the lance successfully pierced Adam's skin.
The invincibility effect has ended!
"Xanthos, Balius, Pedasos, charge! Charge with your lives on the line! My life is like a shooting star!"
Achilles decisively unleashed his Noble Phantasm, but the puppet preemptively turned its sword and slashed at the chariot. However, a scorching ray came from afar, piercing through his arm like a bullet. Turning his head, he saw the red light in Karna's eyes slowly extinguish, releasing steam-like white smoke.
True heroes kill enemies with their eyes!
"Ora ora ora!" The chariot plowed through the giant's body, tearing it apart horribly. But in the blink of an eye, the wounds healed completely. However, Joan of Arc discovered an exciting fact.
"The giant's growth has stalled! As long as we maintain this level of destructive power, we can repeat the way we defeated him last time!"
"But will I let you succeed?" Shuoyue's cold voice rang out. "Siegfried, Artoria, stop them!"
Reluctantly, Siegfried still swung his sword and confronted his old rival, Karna. Artoria instinctively took a few steps forward, then lowered her head and suddenly stopped. Seeing her ahoge (antenna-like hair sticking up) like this, Sakuya couldn't help but frown.
"Even you are going to betray my will? You should know that even if the Primal Giant Adam is fully completed, I can still destroy him completely."
“Yes…I know.” Artoria closed her eyes. “But Sakumoku, you remind me of someone right now…someone I really hate.”
No further words were needed; the shadow that person left behind would forever remain in their hearts.
Kiritsugu Emiya, Artoria's Master in the Fourth Holy Grail War, is a ruthless machine who is decisive in killing and can even abandon his own family.
When the new moon killed Avisbro without hesitation and activated three Command Seals, Artoria realized something was wrong, but it was too late to stop it.
Just as the melting of the iceberg was an illusion, the new Moon, who has descended as a class, has returned to its original state: cold, indifferent, and willing to do almost anything to achieve victory.
Even if it were Shuoyue, Artoria wouldn't be willing to assist someone like that.
"So... I'm sorry, but at least this time, my sword will not be wielded for you."
Upon hearing the girl's words of farewell, Shuoyue curled her lips into a sneer, though she had expected it. The pain, however, was still unusual. In the end, the young man simply waved, saying nothing more, as if to let it go.
Artoria felt a pang of pain in her heart upon seeing this, but with the Primal Giant Adam still going berserk, as the Second Arbiter, justice and duty did not allow her to stop and comfort her wounded Master. So she charged forward with her sword.
