Curse Reply: I'm going to fight the Myriad Corpse Immortal, the highest level one!

EX-rank Anti-World Noble Phantasms, the Star of Ea, and the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star, which is also an EX-rank Noble Phantasm.

EX level is an abbreviation of "extreme," meaning exceptional or above-average.

From Gilgamesh's perspective, given that Noble Phantasm bombardment and the Chains of Heaven are proving ineffective, facing a mysterious figure like himself who possesses both strength and skill, he should first use "All-Knowing and All-Powerful Star" to open the box, discern his weaknesses, and then retrieve a targeted Noble Phantasm from "Gate of Babylon" to kill him.

Could it be that, even now, Gilgamesh still feels that someone like him, a "mixed-breed," is unworthy of his full power?

Never mind, it's not important, because it's already 12 o'clock, and the Holy Grail War will begin with a new day.

An invisible roar erupted from the city center, sweeping across the entire Snowfield City in an instant.

Xia Jie felt a lightness in her hand, and the cameraman in her hand disappeared into thin air. The bloodthirsty American spectators watching at the end of the street also vanished without a trace.

Out-of-control vehicles collided on city streets, emitting metallic clangs, while flames and thick smoke rose from all directions of the city.

What lies beneath this noise is the snowfield city that has lost its "life".

Every place where life should exist has now become a dead zone.

There are no green plants in the flower pots, no insects on the road, no grass or trees in the park, and no humans in the buildings.

Even though the lights of Xueyuan City were still on, an unsettling sense of emptiness gradually emerged amidst the chaotic disorder.

To those watching the live stream, the entire Snowfield City suddenly split in two. With the earth as a mirror, everything inanimate in Snowfield City was perfectly reflected in it.

This optical reflection, which should have remained on the surface of a mirror, now possesses real depth. Under the power of Doubao's magic, it gradually constructs a mirror space that is both underground and not underground.

"Goodbye, Gilgamesh. As the second referee, it's not convenient for me to stay in the arena forever."

Xia Jie tilted her head to dodge an arrow, then smiled and waved at Gilgamesh.

Bye-bye!

By the time the next wave of Noble Phantasms was launched, Xia Jie's figure had already disappeared.

'A Realistic Marble?'

Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Tsk! You lowly rat from the gutter, how dare you try to fool me, the king?"

As Gilgamesh reached his right hand, a portal of light appeared, and a hand clad in golden gauntlets reached into it, first plunging into his entire forearm, and then slowly being pulled out.

It was a huge golden key, and also the key to the treasure trove of the Hero King, the "Golden City".

The key was raised, and countless crimson circuits spread out from the space. Then, the EX-rank Noble Phantasm, the creation sword "Ea" from Sumerian mythology, appeared and fell into Gilgamesh's hands.

The cylindrical, jet-black blade is covered with crimson lines resembling electrical circuits, and the primordial chaos from the beginning of creation flows from its body.

"Telling the origin..."

As Gilgamesh chanted the release incantation for his Noble Phantasm, the three-sectioned black and red sword began to rotate, and a strange wind pressure capable of cleaving through space gathered from the sword.

"Heaven and earth separated, and there was no celebration of creation."

"To cleave the world is my sword of discord."

As the chanting continued, the clouds in the sky were also connected by wind pressure, converging into a huge eye of the storm.

Beneath a storm of dark clouds, crimson lightning relentlessly struck the buildings of Snowfield City, cleaving several unfortunate structures into scattered ruins.

"The mortar of stars, the hell of heaven, is the end of the eve of creation."

"To submit to it even at the cost of one's life."

"Heaven and Earth are at odds—"

—The Pioneer Star!!!

Gilgamesh gripped the golden hilt of his sword tightly and, in a fit of rage, forcefully swung the sword Ea toward the Mirror Space itself.

A Reality Marble is a grand magic spell that materializes the caster's inner "mental landscape" into reality. It is the magic spell closest to "magic" and is considered a forbidden spell by the Mage's Association.

The principle is to replace the original large world with the caster's small world while keeping the realm unchanged, so that the surrounding space changes into a completely different landscape.

It can also be called the "World Egg," and maintaining its inherent barrier requires a vast amount of magic power.

This thing is similar to the domain expansion of a sorcerer; it is the magician's ultimate technique and finishing move.

Unfortunately, as a Noble Phantasm against "boundaries", Ea is not capable of truly creating the world or destroying planets, but it is more than enough to deal with the alienated space of the Realm Marble.

The mirrored Snowfield City began to tremble violently. Wherever the violent wind pressure of the Ea sword passed, cracks appeared in the space, just like a mirror on the verge of shattering.

"Damn rat, I'll finish you off once I smash this place to pieces!"

As he watched the stage built by the "mastermind" crumble bit by bit, Gilgamesh's lips curled into a pleased smile atop the flying boat.

He couldn't wait to see Xia Jie's expression when she broke down.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths... The faint smile on the Hero King's lips went from natural to stiff, and then from stiff to forced.

The space before them was clearly riddled with cracks, yet it stubbornly held on like a piece of special glass that was still connected despite being broken.

Moreover, in the reflection of the crimson eyes, the cracks that had been created were actually fading and shrinking, showing faint signs of healing.

In the real Snowfield City, Doubao independently maintained the magic supply to the mirror space while using the bombardment of the Ea sword to deeply study the essence of the mirror, rapidly deducing and iterating in his mind, and then using the results to further strengthen the mirror Snowfield City.

Unconvinced, Gilgamesh wielded Ea, concentrating the power of his Noble Phantasm and blasting it towards the same area, attempting to break through the space's limits.

This did have some effect; the cracks in the impacted space were as dense as a spider web, but it just didn't break apart.

Ultimately, it still fell short by a little.

Gilgamesh sheathed Ea, his face grim.

Before his first attack shattered the mirror space, Gilgamesh, realizing things were getting serious, secretly used "Omniscient Star," which allowed him to see through his opponents' information.

In his eyes, the steamed bun was alright. Even though the panel was so luxurious it looked a bit fake, it wasn't completely beyond his comprehension.

Since only the omniscient "Omniscient and Omnipotent Star" can take effect, it means that no matter how impressive Doubao's abilities are, he is still an opponent on the same level as himself.

But Xia Jie is different. This mysterious magician who calls himself Xia Jie is nothingness in his eyes. The only information he can find is an unchanging blank.

I never imagined he was a magician of this caliber.

Chapter 171 The Fall of the Dove

This Holy Grail War allows players to forfeit, since not everyone can accept being displayed like a caged hamster.

Of course, both Master and Servant can only abstain on their own behalf.

The other team member can choose to forfeit or participate alone.

Masters need to solve their own power issues, while Servants need to find a source of magical power sufficient to sustain their existence.

As the referee, Xia Jie promised to guarantee the personal safety of those who forfeited and those who lost.

These are the biggest differences between this Holy Grail War and the normal Holy Grail War.

The normal Holy Grail requires absorbing the souls of defeated Servants, storing them, and finally using these souls to return to the Throne of Heroes, opening the "hole" leading to the outside world in one fell swoop.

And this "hole" is the gateway to the source that traditional magicians have always dreamed of.

As for whether he can come back or not?

that's not important.

As you hear the news, you can die in the evening.

Because of Xia Jie's promise, the Holy Grail War will not be able to obtain a single soul.

As for whether this will affect the Holy Grail's ability to grant wishes?

That doesn't matter either.

Xia Jie herself is more Holy Grail than the Holy Grail.

"Hey! Old man, interested in coming down and having some fun? If you don't come, I'll have to call other gods from different pantheons. Don't miss out!"

On the live broadcast screen, Xia Jie suddenly made a megaphone with her hands and shouted loudly towards the sky.

"..."

The heavens responded with silence.

A dozen kilometers away, in an armed helicopter, American soldiers who were distracted by watching the live broadcast sighed inwardly.

When they received orders to kidnap Xia Jie in Xueyuan City, their inner thoughts were—

"I'll hit Xia Jie, really?"

"He's a superhuman who can influence the visual perception of all of humanity, you know?"

"With our limited firepower, wouldn't we just get whipped into a spinning top if we went there?"

They thought that if the other party called out Jesus, they could disobey orders without fear.

The existence of Jesus implies that Heaven and Hell also exist, and the good buddy who kidnapped Jesus will definitely go to Hell, which is obviously a greater price to pay than disobeying orders.

When the time comes, they'll just disobey orders and slack off. The ones who should really be furious are those politicians and powerful figures whose hearts are as ugly as demons.

They dared to bet that once the Holy Son appeared, those pigs who usually held high positions and considered themselves superior to others would surely be terrified and paralyzed like mud.

pity……

They regret it too early.

Xia Jie reached out and grabbed at the sky, and pure and gentle divinity flew down from that infinitely high place that existed above all things.

Then light came.

The stars, moon, and night of the human world all retreat before Him, and the scorching sun of the human world restrains its brilliance here.

Heaven and earth should neither be dark nor bright.

Until the arrival of the light within light.

A cross is split open in the sky; that is Jesus' most classic logo on earth.

From within the cross emanates a pure, clear, and empty light of salvation.

Humans on both sides of the Earth who look up can see the just cross and the holy radiance at the top of the sky.

Even those who do not need to look up, but have a glimmer of light in their hearts, can glimpse this divine revelation deep within themselves.

Those who are kind should provide relief.
