In Britain, the Noble Phantasm: Divine Key

"What!?" A strange voice suddenly came from the thick smoke and scattered stones, its tone filled with obvious astonishment, as if it did not quite understand why it had been discovered.

“Because there’s another guest here.” Yanan turned around and looked into the depths of the smoke. “Am I right, Red Archer?”

"Why..." Red Archer asked, somewhat bewildered. He had clearly already...

"You clearly used your Noble Phantasm, so why did I still manage to detect it?" Anaen asked with a smile. "Is that what you mean?"

Red Archer didn't answer, but that attitude itself was a tacit agreement.

“I have to admit, Red Archer, your Noble Phantasm is indeed very powerful. Even now, I still don’t quite understand how this Noble Phantasm erased your existence from everyone’s minds.” Anahn said with his arms crossed. “But that doesn’t matter. Once we know the effect of this Noble Phantasm, then breaking it is just a very simple matter.”

After Berserker's reminder, Anahn realized that although Red Archer's Noble Phantasm could erase his own existence, as long as an external force intervened, this illusion could be easily broken and the effect of the Noble Phantasm could be canceled.

So he secretly kept a watchful eye on things and used Feather of Dust to give himself a mental suggestion before joining the battle, reminding himself of the existence of Red Archer every two or three minutes.

As expected, during his battle with the Primordial Titan, Red Archer had somehow activated his Noble Phantasm to conceal his whereabouts. Fortunately, thanks to the psychological suggestion that alerted him, he easily broke through the effect of the Noble Phantasm.

“To dare use the same trick twice in front of me, I don’t know whether to call you arrogant or stupid.” Yanan raised his hand, and more golden spears flew out from behind him. “But it doesn’t matter. Now, it’s your turn to pay the price.”

"This is bad!" Kotomine Shiro's expression immediately turned grim as he observed the battle from a distance, his eyes filled with obvious anxiety.

Red Archer is one of their trump cards. According to the previously planned strategy, if the Primordial Giants do not take the Greater Grail, then Red Archer, with his Noble Phantasm activated, will work with the Aerial Garden to take the Greater Grail away. This two-pronged approach is enough to ensure that they can bring the Greater Grail into their hands.

But what no one expected was that Black Rider not only defeated the Primordial Titan, but also managed to break through Red Archer's Noble Phantasm, thus completely disrupting their plans!

"To be able to break even that guy's Noble Phantasm, this Black Faction Rider... is quite interesting." Sesshouin Kiara raised an eyebrow slightly, showing no panic on her face, and even revealing a smile of interest.

Kotomine Shiro clenched his fists tightly. Black Rider's strength was undeniable, and he really didn't believe that Red Archer had the power to fight him head-on. But if even Red Archer failed, then the Greater Grail would be completely out of their reach!

At this moment, he even considered risking his identity to support Red Archer, but putting aside whether he and Red Archer could defeat Black Rider, the wavering and rebellious knight over there was already enough to give him a headache.

Does this mean he still won't be able to fulfill his wish this time...?

"Oh dear~ Don't make such an ugly face, Father." Sesshouin Kiara said with a smile, her gentle tone giving one a strange sense of reassurance. "Things haven't come to an end yet, who says we've definitely lost? Although I don't want to admit it, that guy, maybe—"

"It's not as weak as you think."

A ghostly blue flame rose from the void, a seemingly dreamlike scene that contained unimaginable power. All the approaching golden spears were forced to retreat, unable to advance any further.

Anann's eyes narrowed slightly; this was the first time he had seen Judah suffer a loss in a direct battle.

What exactly was that flame...?

"Make me pay the price?" A clear, bell-like voice came from the depths of the flames. "You're just a mere mortal, how dare you say such things to me?"

“That is…” Mordred looked ahead in astonishment as a figure slowly emerged from the flames.

It was a rather tall female figure, with a beautiful and dignified appearance. She was completely naked, displaying her full and sexy figure without reservation. Only a few lotus petal-like decorations covered her sensitive parts. Her limbs were not ordinary flesh and blood, but crystals wrapped in ghostly blue flames. Her long silver hair cascaded down like a waterfall, scattering hazy light spots like an endless starry sky, giving people a strange feeling of looking directly at the vast and boundless universe.

"What, what is this?! That was just too... too much..."

Even the usually carefree Mordred was stunned by the woman in front of him. This level of exposure... Did this woman have no sense of shame at all?!

As if suddenly remembering something, Mordred quickly turned to look at Yanan, only to find the latter staring intently at Red Archer with a serious expression.

"So that's how it is. No wonder you possess such a Noble Phantasm." Looking at that familiar face, a complex expression appeared in Anahn's eyes. "I never expected that the Archer summoned by the Red Team this time would be you, Kama, the God of Love."

The figure before them was none other than Kama, the god of love from Hindu mythology, who appeared in the world by possessing the body of a certain girl. Although in the original setting she appeared in the world as an Assassin, the class that was truly suitable for her was Archer, so it was quite reasonable for her to appear in the world as an Archer.

To be honest, Anan really didn't expect Kama to be summoned, but this also explains why she was able to erase her own existence.

In Hindu mythology, in order to reunite Parvati and Shiva, the gods had Kama, the god of love, shoot an arrow at Shiva with his divine power, rekindling the great god's love for Parvati. However, Shiva soon realized that Kama was the one interfering, and in a fit of rage, he opened his third eye on his forehead and unleashed a divine fire capable of destroying everything in the universe, burning Kama to ashes.

However, Kama did not die. Instead, he was reborn from the destruction and became a formless and shapeless deity, namely the [Ananga].

Perhaps it was because of his more suitable class of existence that the concept of [Anaga] was directly sublimated into a Noble Phantasm, allowing Kama to erase his own existence and become utter "nothingness".

This is the truth that no one was aware of her existence.

“To presume to know the true name of a god is a grave offense.” Kama stared coldly at Anan. “You blasphemer, are you prepared to pay the price for your rudeness and arrogance?”

Chapter Forty-Two: The Hero's Destiny

"Gods? Disrespect?"

A slight smile curved Yanan's lips. With a wave of his hand, Black Abyss appeared instantly in his grasp, its dark spear tip radiating an unsettling aura of death.

"I think you might have misunderstood something."

His figure flickered slightly, appearing in front of Kama as if by teleportation. Black Abyss swept past like a bolt of lightning, his dark pupils reflecting a cold, icy light.

"For beings like us, gods are nothing more than prey."

Kama's pupils suddenly contracted, and a flash of light appeared in front of her. A magnificently designed long-handled weapon immediately appeared in front of her and clashed with Hei Yuan with a clang.

"A Vajra? As expected of Archer, it seems your close-combat skills are quite good as well," Yanan exclaimed.

“Gods have no weaknesses,” Kama sneered.

"Don't talk such big talk in front of me." Yanan flipped his wrist, using the gun to block the gap of the vajra and push it aside, leaving Kama wide open. Then he kicked the latter in the stomach. "It's not like this is the first time I've faced a god."

Kama was instantly kicked dozens of meters away, smashing through the rubble of the walls in her path. She clutched her lower abdomen, her face contorted in pain, and looked up at Anan with a dark expression: "Godslayer?"

Yanan smiled slightly but did not answer.

"So that's how it is. It's because of that black dragon." Kama took a deep breath and stood up again. "In that case, we can't let you live any longer."

For heroic spirits with divinity, the most troublesome thing is encountering enemies with the [Godslayer] trait. Even the lowest level of [Godslayer] can cause them considerable trouble.

For natural deities like Kama, the situation is more complicated. Beings like them possess not just simple divinity, but a divine core unique to gods. Due to the suppression of their rank, they can ignore some low-level god-killing abilities, but they will suffer greater damage when faced with high-level god-killing abilities.

Due to his past experience of slaying a large number of gods, Anan's god-slaying level had already reached A-rank. In addition, as a Rider in the world, he was influenced by Nidhogg in various aspects, which raised his [god-slaying] level to an unbelievable level, making him a very strong counter to Kama.

Even if all the other Heroic Spirits were combined, they wouldn't be as threatening as Anan alone to Kama. Realizing this, Kama immediately raised Anan's danger level in his mind, even to the level of Sesshouin Kiara.

So, no matter what, this guy has to die today!

Kamasu slightly raised her hand, and a dark blue flame ignited on the vajra. The terrifying heat distorted the surrounding space into chaos, and the flame hurtled towards Anan like an arrow released from a bow.

In the previous clash, Yanan had already realized the terrifying power of these azure flames. At this moment, he was not careless at all. He reached out and thirteen golden spears flew out from behind him at the same time and condensed into one, colliding with the flying vajra.

Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!

It was as if two intercontinental ballistic missiles had collided, and the deafening sonic boom echoed through the sky. The terrifying impact turned the already devastated World Tree Castle into complete ruins. However, due to the deliberate control of both sides, the aftershocks of the explosion did not reach the Holy Grail in the corner.

Under the cover of the smoke and dust, Kama once again reached out, and a magnificent longbow made of sugarcane appeared in her hand. Drawing back the bowstring, beautiful flowers gathered and coalesced into a sharp arrow, which silently sliced ​​through the thick smoke, heading straight for Anahn.

Ding ding!

A crisp metallic clang rang out as Yanan casually twirled the Black Abyss with his spear, glanced indifferently at the flower arrow broken in two on the ground, and then turned to Kama: "You think you can threaten me with such a paltry trick? You underestimate me far too much."

"cut."

Kama, her face grim, waved her hand, and the vajra flew back into her hand. This divine weapon, which originated from Indra, contained the power of that thunder god, but even so, it did not gain any advantage in the previous collision.

Where did that guy get so many strange and powerful magical artifacts...?

"What? You're not planning to continue the attack?" Yanan's calm voice echoed. "In that case, I won't hold back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Anan stomped on the ground and shot towards Kama like an arrow released from a bow.

"Hmph, is this your tactic? It's laughably crude." Kama sneered. This guy just charged in so recklessly, is he out of his mind?

She raised her cane bow and aimed it straight at Yanan's head, but just as she was about to release the bowstring, a crimson feather suddenly caught her eye.

Yu Duchen's mental power was activated instantly, and Kama's consciousness immediately froze, his eyes becoming hazy.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Anan left the Black Abyss without hesitation and headed straight for the heart of Kama.

For humans, the heart is a vital organ for sustaining life, and for heroic spirits, the heart is also a fatal weakness. If it is severely damaged, losing their spiritual core is almost equivalent to their exit from the game.

The power of Yu Duchen did not last long. Under the influence of the divine core, Kama quickly regained consciousness. Seeing the rapidly enlarging spear tip in front of him, the god of love was instantly terrified and instinctively dodged to the side.

puff!

The jet-black spear instantly slashed through Kama's arm, and crimson blood splattered out, blooming into alluring flowers on the ground.

"Hmm..."

Kama groaned, his handsome face contorted with obvious pain, but Anan pressed on relentlessly, wielding the Black Abyss and closing in, showing no intention of giving his opponent any chance to catch his breath.

Left with no other choice, Kama could only endure the pain and swing his vajra to block Anan's attack, while simultaneously widening the distance between them.

"What a pity." Anan shook his head with a hint of regret. As a Noble Phantasm, Feather of Dust was ultimately no match for the original body; otherwise, Kama would never have woken up so quickly.

Kama turned to look at his shoulder, where there was a very deep wound, with scarlet blood constantly oozing out. But what was most bizarre was that strange black mist was swirling around the wound.

These black mists not only prevented the recovery of her injuries, but also continuously seeped the power of death into her body. Even when Kama used the power of the divine core, he could only stop the infiltration of this power at most, but he could not do anything to these black mists.

She turned her head and looked at the black spear in Anaen's hand with apprehension. She had thought it was just an ordinary Noble Phantasm, but she hadn't expected it to have such a strange ability.

"So that's how it is. Is this what you rely on to kill a god?" she said in a low voice.

“Who knows? Perhaps what you see is all I have,” Yanan chuckled, raising his chin slightly to look at Kama. “Or perhaps… it’s just a drop in the ocean.”

"Stop pretending!" Enraged by Anan's flippant manner, Cupid roared and swung his arm with all his might. The vajra, burning with eerie blue flames, shot out and headed straight for Anan.

"You guys are more resilient than I imagined."

Ozymandias stood on the high platform, looking down at Hercules and Siegfried, his brows furrowing slightly.

If this continues any longer, his magic will...

“Berserker is yours, Archer.” Siegfried gripped the dragon-slaying greatsword tightly. The continuous fierce battles had gradually depleted his magic power, but the fighting spirit in his eyes burned even brighter. “I’ll hold that guy off.”

“Yes, leave it to me,” Hercules said in a deep voice.

Siegfried nodded, stepped on the ground, and his body immediately took off using the reaction force, floating in the air like a bird, raising the Dragon Slayer Sword high and slashing at Ozymandias.

"HO~ So you're challenging me alone instead of two against one?" Ozymandias's lips curled into a cold smile as he raised his scepter. "In that case, for your courage and fearlessness, I will grant you this opportunity!"

Taking advantage of the moment when Siegfried and Ozymandias were locked in combat, Hercules turned his gaze to Penthesilea beside him. The daughter of the god of war was no longer the imposing figure she once was. Her armor was on the verge of breaking, and her body was covered with numerous wounds, making her look extremely miserable.

The blessing that Ozymandias had bestowed upon her had been exhausted in the long battle before, and all her abilities had returned to their original state, no, even weaker.

Even so, Penthesilea's gaze remained unchanged, and he still exuded a wild aura, staring fiercely at Hercules like a wild beast.

"Unforgivable... Unforgivable... Pay the price for what you've done, Hercules!!!"

Roaring, howling, furious, and completely driven mad, Penthesilea charged at Hercules with all his might. His soaring fighting spirit stimulated the blood of the god of war to boil completely, turning into endless blood mist that swirled around Penthesilea and shook the air.

"[Hero, may you perish completely in my rage (OutrageAmazon)!!!]"

A terrifying surge of magical energy emanated from her, tearing Penthesilea's internal organs to pieces. But even in the face of such intense pain, her will remained unwavering. This was a decisive blow; even if it meant mutual destruction, she had to kill Hercules!

“I have indeed made many unforgivable mistakes and hurt many innocent people, but I will not regret it, much less atone for them.”
