Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Suddenly I have this feeling that they are still alive, that humanity has survived to this day, it's like they've been blessed by God.

To have lived this long is truly... — not easy!

Chapter 179 The Supreme God of Persian Mythology! What's there to fear about the Lord losing?

Ok……

That's right. Perhaps it's because of the protection of such a great being as 'God,' who willingly descended to earth to be human, that they have been able to live to this day.

The Holy Grail War has apparently been started four times already!

It's possible that some of the previous heroic spirits had the same wish as that Knight King.

Wanting to rewrite the tragic ending of the past could also destroy the world?!

How many heroes in mythology have tragic and unsatisfactory endings? There are countless tragic myths from various countries, too many to count on two hands.

For example, Hercules, the mighty god, wept bitterly and wailed in regret after killing his wife and children in a fit of madness. (The similarly based God of War, Rikratos, follows this same plot.)

Even a hero as strong as Hercules might have the idea of ​​going back in time to change history and save his wife and children.

Judging from common sense, people think it's very likely, and even if someone really wanted to change the past, it would be understandable.

But it will create a time paradox!

Those ideas that once only appeared in films, literature, and various human fantasies—would changing the past affect the future?

People now seem to know that history cannot be changed, or at least not easily. Those major historical events that are of paramount importance in human history, once changed, may become something called a singularity.

(People in this world don't know about Lostbelts yet; at most, they've only just heard the term "Lost World" from Yoru.)

But they already knew that the pan-human history world they lived in and the established singularity seemed to be a fight to the death, with only one side able to survive!

In order to survive, we have no choice but to do everything we can to eliminate the other side!

Hiss! Just thinking that every wish made by a heroic spirit could lead to a catastrophe on the scale of world destruction...

No, didn't that already happen once before?

Someone suddenly remembered that the Grand Temple of Time caused a series of calamities after Solomon became an ordinary human and Goetia stole his body. Didn't that create countless singularities, requiring the Chaldean Humanity Protection Organization—the last Master of humanity—to save the world?

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

grass--!!

Damn it—after all this time, there really is a precedent to follow!

A wave of lingering fear washed over them! People: ...!!!

No way! Just thinking about how one day they might wake up and find that all of humanity is gone, and only a high school girl (Fujimaru Ritsuka) can save them!

No way I want this unreliable future!

The idea of ​​pinning one's future on a student girl is more like an anime than any anime.

"How absurd! In short—the Holy Grail has been corrupted, hasn't it?" Ramses II said, then vanished with a regretful expression.

He wasn't interested in the Holy Grail or regretted not obtaining it; rather, he regretted leaving before he even had a chance to say a few words to Night.

Most importantly—if we're talking about the Holy Grail, the most famous one is undoubtedly the Christian holy grail filled with the blood of God.

With the god himself right in front of us, wouldn't it be ridiculous for anyone to care about a broken cup?

And so—before disappearing, Ramses II left behind those words: "Foolish little girl, the Knight King, compared to a broken cup, isn't the person who can truly grant your wish without causing a world-class catastrophe right before your eyes? I really can't stand by and watch any longer!"

After saying that, Rama II disappeared.

Shanshan gave a soft hum, a smile playing on her lips, closed her eyes slightly, said nothing, and followed.

It seems that the King of Heroes has seen what he wanted to see during this descent and has left the stage satisfied.

Although it's somewhat embarrassing, since I lost to that person, it's not so embarrassing.

Subsequently, many heroic spirits left the stage one after another.

After being reminded by Raikou, Artoria suddenly raised her head and looked at the night with awe and excitement.

"you……"

Night interrupted, "Don't ask why I should help you. Unrealistic wishes have no value in being fulfilled. If you want your wishes to come true, you first need to understand the process of how to achieve them..."

"Just as the Holy Grail does not provide answers out of thin air, but only fulfills the wishes of its holder in a way that can be understood, going back to the past to change a major historical turning point for humanity and shape a new future is a possibility for the birth of a new type of final trial for humanity, or even the arrival of the final trial for the gods."

"Such a wish is as insane as that of a fool who wants to achieve world peace with a single word...and utterly meaningless."

What……?

Is that really the case?

Artoria immediately became distraught again.

She needs to come up with a reasonable way to achieve this!

If she could figure it out, she wouldn't have been so desperate after learning the truth about the Holy Grail.

Even if the Holy Grail is corrupted, there is still a possibility of purification, but even if the Holy Grail is purified, the wish granted still needs to be reasonable.

The next moment, Ye looked in the direction where the black mud was still gushing out and growing larger.

"How dare you... Angra Mainyu, no... you only inherited part of the spirit and evil part of the Persian evil god, yet you dare to swagger in front of me?"

Ye's calm words immediately made those familiar with Persian mythology realize what he meant, and their expressions changed drastically.

I almost forgot, there's an old man here too!!

Demon God—Angola Mainyu!

In the ancient Persian mythology—the Zoroastrian worldview of good and evil, there is an opposite evil side to Ahura, the supreme creator god who represents all good in this world.

It is a rare scenario in a pantheon where one side is dominant, but rather two supreme gods are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other.

Even Typhon, who corresponds to Zeus in the Greek pantheon, was actually not able to truly defeat or match Zeus in mythology; he was clearly weaker.

In Egyptian mythology, Ra, and in Sumerian mythology, An, are both considered creator gods or god-kings who dominate their respective pantheons.

Regardless of their strength, they are the strongest in their respective mythologies in terms of their status.

The fact that Angra Mainyu is the epitome of evil, one of the two strongest gods at the core and source of a pantheon, is astonishing enough. In fact, judging from his legend, he also has the potential to become absolute evil.

"Are you kidding me, Angra Mainyu?! Wasn't it said that the one who died was just an ordinary person falsely accused of being a demon god?"

"Damn, another monster of the same level as a creator god in a pantheon!"

"How many creator gods from which pantheon have descended now?!"

"World, explode! Destroy! It's hopeless, hopeless."

"What are you afraid of?! Didn't you hear what His Majesty the Demon King said? That guy only inherited part of the spirit and the evil part. He is not Angra Mainyu himself at all. And do you think that even if Angra Mainyu himself came, would the Lord lose?"

Chapter 180 Evil is evil, and it deserves judgment and punishment! Killing someone means destroying their spirit.

How could the Lord possibly lose?

This immediately excited and enthralled those who had been gaining a huge following and deeply believing in this hero, god, and demon king because of Ye's various powerful and unparalleled performances.

He quickly regained his composure and was full of confidence.

It's alright... Even if the sky falls, His Majesty is still holding it up, so don't panic!

Despite being humanity's ultimate trial, it is seen by people as humanity's strongest anchor, reliable and reassuring.

Rather than the trial itself, people hope that it will continue to manifest in the present era. Haven't you seen how many crises that almost threatened the whole world have been dealt with by His Majesty?

This is not the final trial, it is clearly the final hope!

It doesn't matter if this generation can't overcome the final trial, there are always future generations!

Wouldn't it be better to hide under His Majesty and be a useless piece of iron than to conquer him?

Your Majesty—we don't want to try anymore!

At this moment, people have a strong urge to become like Gudako, a self-taught sycophant, and fawn over her.

If you can't beat them, join them!

Meanwhile, due to the power of Ye's words, Xiao An, who was about to devour the Marshal's resurrection, was so frightened that he suddenly shivered and his form dissipated, turning back into black mud.

He couldn't figure it out!

But with so many heroic spirits dying in one fell swoop, the evil of this world, nourished by the soul power of those heroic spirits and becoming even more immense, is about to burst forth! The Holy Grail simply can't contain it all!

'Angola Mainyu' was quite self-aware; he had been hiding in the Holy Grail, observing all the battles in the shadows. How could he possibly dare to provoke this monster!

Ten of them wouldn't be enough for this guy to crush with a single finger.

At this moment—just because of Ye's soft hum, even her last shred of self-awareness was about to collapse and dissipate, scaring Xiao An out of her wits.

It was precisely because he suddenly stopped fighting and eroding the marshal's consciousness that the marshal, who already had a very deep obsession, was able to maintain his spiritual form after Xiao An became weak, even taking the opportunity to frantically devour the power of the black mud!

"Good, wonderful! This power...! Joan of Arc—Joan of Arc, oh oh oh—come and punish me...come and punish me for my utter sins, only you are qualified—...to personally end my sinful life!"

The marshal's frantic voice came from the giant black mud.

Bai Zhende could no longer sit still. She looked at the scene before her with immense sorrow, her eyes widening slightly.

Instinctively, she gripped the flagpole tightly, then couldn't help but ask, "How could it have turned out like this?"

She wanted to offer her deceased friend a way out, but with God before her, Joan of Arc ultimately did not act...

Even in this short time, Joan of Arc's stillness and inaction had already driven the already simmering marshal, who was beginning to lose control, even more mad.

Giles must be in so much pain...!

As a former comrade-in-arms, she didn't want to see Giles in this state, but he had indeed committed many unforgivable and heinous crimes, and God had not spoken...

If this pain is also a punishment for her, then Joan of Arc has no reason to take action.

But—thinking about the reason for Jeanne d'Arc Alter's birth, thinking that the Marshal must have become like this because of her, that he caused his comrade to become such a grotesque creature because of her, and that it was because of her that he now had to make her suffer this torment, he couldn't bear it.

Anyone has the right to condemn and despise Gilles, except Joan of Arc.

Seeing Joan of Arc's inner turmoil, Night said, "It's alright...—use that Noble Phantasm and deliver the final blow to the fallen French Marshal."

Previously, when people researched information about Bluebeard, they learned about the marshal's life and his obsession and anger over the death of Joan of Arc, which was probably the regret of this heroic spirit's life.

However, people all over the world, who had no connection with Marshal Giles, cheered when they saw God speak, ordering the saintess, whom the evil path had pursued his life's obsession with, to personally eliminate this pervert!

Damn it!
