My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

Thinking of this, Hui looked up at Getia and gave her a kind smile.

Hui, as if playing house as a little girl, stretched out her right hand, made a gun gesture, aimed the light spot on the tip of her index finger at Goetia, and with a bewitching smile that could captivate all beings, said, "Bang!"

Silent and still, as if nothing had happened.

However, as soon as Hui finished speaking...

Goetia was jolted!

I felt... hilarious!

What's the point of these gestures that are just like those of ordinary children?

Could it be that you're planning to use the most basic magic bullet attack?

Utterly boring.

"Hey, your farcical performance ends here. I'm not in the mood to continue—"

Goetia's voice abruptly stopped.

He then noticed a hole in his chest, two centimeters in diameter, that had appeared from front to back, with flesh turned inside out and bright red blood flowing out continuously.

His expression shifted from confusion to surprise, then to astonishment, and finally to disbelief...

He looked up at Hui, his face filled with disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice, "When...is this?"

The EX-level [Anti-Summoning] has absolutely no effect.

He couldn't even figure out what exactly he was attacked by, whether it was when she said 'bang' just now?

But why didn't he feel the pain then, but only now?

Is it a side effect of delayed pain sensation or numbness?

However, when he carefully examined his body, he did not sense any unusual magic.

Or is it an attack that reverses cause and effect?

However, his "clairvoyance" remained active, and he did not sense any anomalies in space and time.

Or is it……

Dozens of possibilities flashed through Goetia's mind in an instant, but none of them matched up.

Blood began to flow from his chest, and his life began to slip away.

At that moment, the "Seventh Commandment" and "Nineth Commandment" on his fingers flashed simultaneously.

The Seventh Ring's power is instant healing, while the Ninth Ring's power is removing all debuffs from oneself.

However... something even more terrifying happened.

Indeed, as the ring shone, muscles, tissues, and skin grew back into the hole in his chest at a visible speed, until it was completely healed.

But when he looked down again... the empty hole in his chest reappeared there.

It was as if the healing I had just experienced was an illusion.

Goetia did not believe in superstition.

The Seventh and the Nineth Commandments shine once more.

The wound on his chest was healed once again.

This time, Goetia didn't look away, but instead focused intently on monitoring the wound with her Clairvoyance.

He simply refused to believe in that superstition.

result.

He didn't look away; he didn't even blink.

However, the wound reappeared.

He had no recollection of how the wound appeared.

Surprising!

So weird!

It was as if the wound on his chest was something he had always had.

Goetia once again defied superstition.

The Seventh and the Nineth Commandments shine once more.

The wound on his chest was healed once again.

His eyes were fixed on it, his "clairvoyance" activated to its maximum.

As a result, the wound still appeared.

He still has no memory of it.

Goetia defied the odds once again.

……

After repeating this hundreds of times.

He finally understood.

The ridiculous attack he had previously mocked was not aimed at his physical body, but at the concept of "Goetia".

To put it more simply, the target of the attack is not him at this moment, but... all of him!

The entire causal chain, the timeline, all parallel worlds... all the possibilities of him!

This naturally includes—"him after his wounds were healed."

No matter how many times he was cured, it was useless.

Because even the "future him" who has healed his wounds is a target of attack.

Once he figured it out, he knew perfectly well that he had kicked a hornet's nest!

No, this is kicking a lead plate!

His eyes widened in horror as he stared at Hui, his previous detachment completely gone. He asked in shock, "An attack of this magnitude! This is no longer an attack at the conceptual level. What... exactly are you?"

He could no longer maintain the false image of Solomon and transformed into a terrifying Beast.

The hole in his chest was still there, and his life was still slipping away rapidly.

This attack was beyond his comprehension.

This is a "law" that is higher than a "concept" and more mysterious than magic, involving the essence of the world's structure and the most fundamental laws of the world.

To understand this "law," unless he successfully burns away human reason and returns to 4.6 billion years ago to witness the birth of the planet and become the creator god, it is just wishful thinking.

He simply couldn't understand why this false god before him could wield the authority that only the creator god could possess.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him.

What other reason could there be?

Besides the inhibitory force, who else possesses such power?

'It must be the Counter Force trying to stop itself from burning away humanity... Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!'

He glared at Hui fiercely, and then saw Hui take advantage of his momentary confusion to take out another dark red gun-shaped weapon and start the same move again.

In an instant, his expression changed drastically. He dared not stay there any longer, and quickly turned around and disappeared into the void.

A short while later, he had returned to his second Noble Phantasm, which he was very proud of—Final Singularity: Grand Temple of Time: Solomon.

This temple is his lair, existing in an imaginary space isolated from the normal flow of time.

As long as he is in this temple, he is a paradoxical immortal being: "If the temple does not perish, Gai Zong will not die; if Gai Zong does not die, the temple will not perish."

Moreover, the temple's structure is a magical-grade structure on par with the Aeon Meliodas in Fate/stay night.

According to the principle that mystery is nullified in the face of higher-level mystery, domains/abilities below the level of magic are ineffective here.

However, the "penetration" he is currently suffering from is far more powerful than magic.

Therefore, according to the principle that mystery is invalidated in the face of higher-level mystery, secrets are also invalidated.

He... will die.

His life continued to slip away.

All he could do was rely on the third Noble Phantasm above the temple: [The time of birth has come; with this, all things will be restored].

A massive amount of magic constantly replenishes its life force, maintaining a balance between the life force that is lost and the life force that is replenished.

But this is just a short-sighted solution.

The only way to completely save him is to complete his great work and become the creator god of the planet.

……

In Fuyuki City, see Goetia disappear.

Hui retrieved the Spear of Longinus.

She twitched her delicate nose slightly and said disdainfully, "Hmph, someone like this dares to come out and act all high and mighty."

Then they rushed towards the Fuyuki City Civic Center without stopping.

Chapter 414 Open

Fuyuki City Civic Center.

The Civic Center is a large auditorium that can accommodate 500 people. There is a dance performance in front of the auditorium, and the area below is all seats.

Directly below it, passing through the reinforced concrete floors, is a spacious underground parking garage. The ceiling of the parking garage is covered with lighting tubes, so it is very bright even at night.

Kirei Kotomine had already cleared out the vehicles here, making the entire area the venue for his duel with Kiritsugu Emiya, and was waiting for Kiritsugu Emiya's arrival.

It just happened suddenly.

Kirei Kotomine raised an eyebrow, his face filled with doubt: "The contract... is broken? Gilgamesh is dead!? Could it be that Saber and Rider teamed up?"

He was confused.
