Honkai Summoning.

The "cause" that "the gun hit because the heart was pierced" occurred afterward. Without considerable luck, it could be said to be a move that was guaranteed to kill if released.

Because the gun has already "pierced the opponent's heart" when it's fired, even killing Lancer first won't change that outcome. Therefore, the gun's trajectory cannot be canceled.

Cú Chulainn's words were not an exaggeration at all. The moment he raised his gun, Su Mo's death by stabbing was already predetermined.

Indeed, that was the case. The shadow, who could have easily dodged any physical attack, was stabbed through the heart with a single shot. Su Mo was pinned to the pile of rubble, looking even more miserable than before.

"A bit disappointed. I thought there would be a satisfying battle." Cú Chulainn held the gun that had pierced Su Mo's heart and muttered to himself before turning to look in the other direction.

Compared to this guy, he was now much more looking forward to the battle with the woman in golden armor, hoping that her strength would bring a spectacular fight.

Alternatively, the other imposing gray-haired Eighth Prince would also work.

Cú Chulainn was somewhat disappointed. He hadn't expected that Irisviel would be so wary of him, and that the Heroic Spirit weakened even after temporarily sacrificing the Berserker's fighting power.

At least put up some decent resistance!

"careful!"

Just then, Artoria's voice reached Cú Chulainn's ears, and a sense of crisis suddenly rose in Cú Chulainn's heart, sweeping over his entire body like a tidal wave.

Cú Chulainn immediately retreated rapidly.

"you……"

In an instant, Cú Chulainn retreated more than ten meters away, clutching his right arm—or rather, the wound on his right shoulder. His entire right arm had been severed from his body, remaining on the other side along with his Noble Phantasm.

Just now, after receiving a reminder from Artoria, Cú Chulainn instinctively stepped back, only to feel a sharp pain in his right arm and a sense of powerlessness. He had lost his right arm along with his Noble Phantasm.

Su Mo retracted the thin threads that the concentric chains had transformed into, and a black armor glove appeared on his right hand, completely covering his elbow and fingertips.

He reached out his right hand and grasped the Noble Phantasm that had pierced his heart. A layer of black quickly covered the Noble Phantasm, and red patterns appeared on it.

Su Mo casually pulled out the demonized spear, stood up, and said with a smile, "I already said that Lancers have E-rank luck, and you still want to steal other people's lines? Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

Watching the wounds on this Heroic Spirit heal at an astonishing rate, Cú Chulainn gave a bitter smile. He knew he had met his nemesis.

His "Piercing Thorn Spear" is effective against almost all enemies. However, there are still a few ways to counter it.

First, maintain distance and don't enter his range. If Cú Chulainn assumes he's about to unleash "gaebolg," immediately disengage from his attack range.

Secondly, they possess powerful luck and intuition, similar to Saber, allowing them to avoid "fatal attributes" even if they cannot completely avoid them.

The third type is like the Heroic Spirit and the Berserker before us, who can revive even with their hearts destroyed. For Heroic Spirits possessing this ability to revive after death, piercing the Death Thorn Spear won't be very effective.

However, Cú Chulainn never expected that the "immortality" of the Heroic Spirit before him would achieve such an exaggerated effect.

His berserker's heart was pierced and he needed time to recover, while this heroic spirit, despite his own piercing spear piercing his heart, was not only alive and kicking, but also able to launch such a fierce counterattack.

Cú Chulainn felt utterly humiliated. It was as if every Heroic Spirit could use an A-rank ability like "Battle Continuation," which was supposed to be very rare.

Artoria held the Excalibur sword in her hand, the tip of which lightly touched the ground. She took a step towards Su Mo, and as a professional bodyguard, she was finally about to make her move.

Irisviel then extended a hand to Cú Chulainn and began to heal his injuries.

"Hey, is it really okay for you guys to gang up on me like this? Where's that self-proclaimed impartial Dragonfly Captain over there? I'm calling the police." Su Mo said, planting the stolen treasure in the ground.

"Little Ai, won't you show me your true strength?" Irisviel said while healing Cú Chulainn from a distance.

Artoria slowly raised Excalibur in her hand, and a large number of black light spots began to gather on her blade, and a terrifying pressure began to spread.

"They've really gone all out right from the start; I'm seriously considering calling the police."

As Su Mo spoke, Artoria instantly accelerated, closing the distance to less than two meters from him, and brought Excalibur down with a fierce slash.

A black light curtain spread out!

The ground suddenly caved in, and the houses behind Su Mo were swallowed up by the tidal wave of black sword light, instantly turning into rubble and ruins.

Cú Chulainn, standing not far away, stared wide-eyed, somewhat astonished by the power of the sword strike.

"Ding!"

A sound like metal clashing reached the ears of several people.

Artoria's eyes widened slightly, and a powerful wind pressure erupted from the black sword light, causing the Sword of Victory to tremble and be deflected. Artoria herself had to take several steps back to prevent her Noble Phantasm from slipping from her hand.

"You really think I can't call for help? One arrow piercing the clouds will summon a thousand armies. Go, Golden Flash!" Su Mo's irritating voice echoed amidst the fading sword light.

On the back of his hand, one of the three Command Seals had already been used. Before him, the long, golden hair, which had been flowing freely, returned to calm. In his hand, he held the Star of Divergence, the cone-shaped blade of which slowly rotated.

Red and black patterns swirl around the blade, as if space itself has been torn apart.

Trapped by Captain Dragonfly and with the Gate of Babylon ineffective, an enraged Gilgamesh naturally drew upon Ea, intending to unleash its true power to cleave the world.

However, to truly use Ea, one needs to analyze the laws of this world. Originally, Gilgamesh was supposed to use Ea for the first time in this Holy Grail War when he destroyed the King of Conquerors.

However, because Su Mo and Li Yunlong killed the Conqueror King in advance, the Star of Divergence was only truly used by Gilgamesh now.

The night she was gender-modified, she merely used the Star of Ecstasy to block Artoria's attack.

The most powerful Noble Phantasm, Ea, has shown power surpassing that of Artoria's Excalibur since its appearance. At least Gilgamesh stood still, while Artoria was repelled.

"Don't call me Gilgamesh, call me Your Majesty!"

With her other hand, she brushed a strand of hair from the corner of her mouth aside and said without turning her head.

"Huh?" Su Mo was stunned. Had this guy been completely feminized from head to toe, inside and out?

Madam, you really are a super dangerous boss!

"Was it just a slight retreat?"

Summoned by Su Mo, Gilgamesh, despite his hasty response and initial victory, didn't show much joy on his face.

Based on her understanding of Artoria, the opponent's power shouldn't be that strong.

The answer to Gilgamesh's question was the sound of the ground caved in.

With a powerful stomp of her feet, the ground caved in, granting Artoria incredible speed, and she instantly appeared beside Gilgamesh. Gripping Excalibur in both hands, she slashed upwards at Gilgamesh.

This time, the black sword light did not spread out, but instead enveloped the blade, concentrating all its power into a single point, determined to defeat the powerful enemy, Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh, despite being a Knight of the Bow, isn't actually very strong in close combat, which is quite true to his class. Unlike Archer (Red Archer), who, despite being called a Knight of the Bow, prefers to wield two short swords.

And then there's Cú Chulainn, who, despite being a spearman, behaved like a bow knight and ultimately excelled at ranged combat.

These days, there aren't many honest people like Jin Shanshan.

When faced with Artoria's full-blown combat power, the honest Gilgamesh naturally couldn't perform an effective parry like a Berserker or Lancer, who were using their strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.

All he could do was unleash the power of the Ea before the blade struck him.

Black and red patterns, resembling spatial cracks, spread from the strangely shaped blade of the Ea, instantly enveloping Jin Shanshan's side.

Artoria's Excalibur struck the crack directly, producing a resounding clang as if it had struck some solid metal.

"Ah!"

With a light breath from Artoria, the black sword light that had been covering the blade burst forth.

However, at that very moment, the black and red patterns also spread out in all directions... well, only Su Mo's position to the rear was not affected.

The heavens and earth trembled the moment the patterns spread, as if everything would shatter in the next second. Cracks, like those on a broken mirror, appeared on the sky, the ground, and the buildings.

It was as if everything around here was an illusion in a mirror, about to shatter completely in the next second.

A terrifying power descended upon Artoria, Irisviel, and the others. Artoria's armor emitted a series of creaking and groaning sounds, similar to the twisting of metal.

This is the true destructive power of the legendary Eaken Sword after its power is unleashed!

"Die, all of you!"

Gilgamesh raised the Star of Divergence, which had created the world.

"Is that her ultimate move?" Su Mo thought to himself from behind, wondering if Irisviel could withstand Gilgamesh's Ea.

Just then, the Dragonfly captain's voice echoed in everyone's ears: "The dignity of a referee cannot be challenged."

As soon as these words were spoken, four more flying dragonflies descended from the sky, instantly creating a separate space.

The power of the primordial star, which separated heaven and earth, erupted in full force.

There was no earth-shattering sound, and nothing around them changed. Only the four pillars that had fallen from the sky—the flying dragonflies—trembled twice and then shattered into pieces.

Just when things were at their most critical, Captain Dragonfly once again used the barrier formed by Flying Dragonflies to trap Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh's Ea Strike naturally shattered Captain Dragonfly's barrier, but its power was also neutralized, failing to harm Artoria and the others.

Jin Shanshan suddenly turned his head and looked at Captain Dragonfly not far away.

"Captain Dragonfly's scrolling light!" Faced with the furious, golden gaze, Captain Dragonfly, as the Arbiter, dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately unleashed his special ability, though it was not the Arbiter's special ability.

A 3x3 grid appeared in front of Captain Dragonfly, each cell containing a different pattern. These cells lit up one by one at a rapid pace, emitting a "ding-ding" sound, like a lottery machine.

Su Mo glanced at it. He vaguely remembered that the purpose of this scrolling light was to determine the competition method for the Peace Star Competition. Now that Captain Dragonfly has taken it out, could it be to determine the way the two sides fight, thereby crippling Gilgamesh's powerful combat ability?

Ding

As the sound rang out, one of the squares in the upper left corner of the 3x3 grid lit up.

"Visual deprivation—the deprivation of the five senses!" Captain Dragonfly shouted, pointing at Gilgamesh.

"Huh?" Su Mo was stunned for a moment.

Deprivation of the five senses—such a brutal move doesn't seem like something Captain Dragonfly from a children's live-action cartoon could pull off.

Isn't this the kind of effect that only Shaka's Tenbu Horin from Saint Seiya can produce?

However, no matter what Su Mo thought, as the only lit square dimmed, Jin Shanshan's pair of ruby-like, dazzling eyes also dimmed, as if shrouded in a layer of gloom.

"A scrolling light! Deprivation of the five senses, specifically auditory deprivation!"

Captain Dragonfly once again used his special ability to deprive Gilgamesh of his hearing as well.

Gilgamesh's world was plunged into darkness and deathly silence. An ordinary person would probably have panicked by now. However, Gilgamesh, as expected of the King of Heroes, remained calm despite the sudden attack. The blade of Ea, the sword that would cleave the heavens and the earth, spun in his hand, and a gentle breeze blew around him.
