Behind-the-scenes video of the beginning of Honkai.

Siegfried was taken aback, and after a brief silence, he nodded and prepared to leave.

"They're just leaving like that?" Seeing that Hei Qi and Siegfried were treating him like he wasn't there, Jiu Xiao was a little annoyed. "Fine, I'll continue to make judgments in my jurisdiction!"

And so the duel between Black Siegfried and Siegfried ended abruptly with the help of the Nine Heavens. No further Servant battles took place afterward, and the third night of the Holy Grail War officially came to a close.

"Really?...Is Joyce dead?"

In the morning, the Servants usually stop their actions, which is also the time for the Masters to discuss countermeasures. Early in the morning, Kotomine Yang came to the Tohsaka family and told Tohsaka Ryoma the news.

"Although everyone dies eventually, I was partly responsible for Joyce's death, and I apologize to you, Yang, here in advance!"

Looking at Kotomine Ryoma, who seemed no different from before, he felt ashamed, after all, Joyce's participation in the Holy Grail War was partly due to him.

"Then, teacher, I'll go to church first to sort through my father's belongings!"

After bidding farewell to Ryoma Tohsaka, Kotomine Yang went directly to the church, where he needed to make his preparations.

"Mei, come in!"

After Kotomine Yang left, Ryoma Tohsaka called out his daughter, Mei Tohsaka, who had been eavesdropping.

"Father! Bring me Caster so we can play some more!" Mei used her cuteness to charm Ryoma Tohsaka. As a doting father, Ryoma wanted to agree, but the Holy Grail War was the lifelong ambition of the Tohsaka family, so he had no choice but to refuse Mei with a heavy heart.

"Mei, you should know that the Holy Grail War is dangerous. Let Caster do what he needs to do!"

"Well... alright!" Mei, being a good girl, still listened to her father, Ryoma Tohsaka. "Then Caster, you have to promise me you'll take good care of my father, okay?"

"Mei, Caster is..."

"No problem, I promise you!"

To Ryoma Tohsaka's surprise, Solomon's Caster actually agreed to Mei Tohsaka's question. You see, when Solomon was first summoned, he was a complete tool, doing whatever he was told, and didn't care about anyone except himself, the Master. But now he actually answered Mei's question?

"Really? Thank you, Caster!"

I have a good impression of Solomon Mei, after all, Solomon saved her Servant Archer and later made some Houmu dolls for her. After all, for a child, whoever gives her something she likes is a good person!

"By the way, Mei, you need to leave Changkong City right now, it's not safe here!"

Ryoma Tohsaka originally wanted Mei to give him the Servant directly and then leave Changkong City. This would not only increase his Servant's number but also protect his daughter's safety. However, Mei refused.

Therefore, Ryoma Tohsaka had no choice but to let Mei leave Changkong City with her Servant. After all, the Servant Archer summoned by his daughter did not belong to this Holy Grail War. Although leaving the battlefield could be considered as such, Ryoma Tohsaka could only painfully refuse the suggestion for his daughter's safety.

"Yes, Father!"

Mei knew that staying here would only hold her father back, so she chose to leave.

Meanwhile, in the classroom, when Ryoma Tohsaka was seeing Mei Tohsaka off from Nagasora City.

"My dear friend, I am saddened by your father's death, but those who are enlightened are always blessed. When you ascend to heaven and change the world, your father will surely be proud of you!"

Dio, standing to the side, offered words of comfort with an expression deeply saddened by the death of Kotomine Yang's father.

“My dear friend, you are right! Indeed, the truth is that enlightened people are always happy. It is because I am not enlightened enough that I am saddened by my father’s death. Therefore, I will definitely fulfill the wishes of my father and me in my previous life!”

Kotomine Yang, who was standing to the side, also came to understand the principle that enlightened people are always happy after his father's death, and decided to begin.

"Assassin out!"

As soon as Yang Kotomine finished speaking, Hassan Domination appeared one by one.

"Lord Kotomine and Lord Dio, we have brought everything you requested!"

Hassan then took out seventy-two sacks, inside which were seventy-two heinous criminals. These were sacrifices prepared by Kotomine Yang for himself and Dio to ascend to heaven, and also the third condition for ascending to heaven.

"Very good, everything you have done will be sung and remembered by everyone in the new world!"

"It's what we should do, Lord Dior!"

The group of Hassans below were staring at Dio with great fervor. After all, Hassan Domination, the future tenth Herrscher of Domination, also known as the Herrscher of a Thousand, was created by combining the spirit origins of humans from all over the world who were deeply mired in negative emotions with Hassan-Sabbah. If it weren't for the fact that Kotomine Yang was the Master, Hassan Domination might have directly assassinated Kotomine Yang.

However, they have now been won over by Dio. After all, Dio is the savior of villains. Dio used his personal charm and the promise of creating happiness for everyone after ascending to heaven to directly turn Hassan Domination into his fanatical followers.

Even the darkest people yearn for light, and Dior is the one who can bring them that light.

If it weren't for the fact that Kotomine Yang and Dio were sworn brothers, they might have even killed Kotomine Yang and made Dio their Master.

"The seventy-two most heinous souls of our sworn brothers are ready. When shall we begin?"

"Don't be impatient, my sworn brother. I've tested it, and the next new moon is tomorrow night. We just need to wait patiently to ascend to heaven. When that moment arrives, humanity will transcend fate, transcend heaven, transcend all restraint!"

Chapter 133 The Moment of the Decisive Battle Between Kings

As everyone prepared for the Holy Grail War with different purposes, the fourth night of the Holy Grail War arrived, and the Masters began their actions.

The streets were deserted in the dead of night. Due to the strange events that had been occurring in the city recently, the citizens of Changkong City had given up their usual bustling nightlife and obediently stayed at home in accordance with the curfew order.

Perhaps due to the lack of people, the asphalt road surface appeared extremely cold and eerie under the dim streetlights, and one could even vaguely see many ghostly shadows.

Rumbling--

However, at that moment, a muffled rumble of thunder echoed through the sky, creating an unusually oppressive atmosphere. This was clearly not due to the weather, but rather the sound of a mighty chariot speeding through the night sky amidst lightning and thunder.

It was the group consisting of Osaka and Himeko. Due to the speed of the vehicle, Himeko was clinging tightly to the edge of the chariot. Even though her eyes were hurt by the howling wind, she was determined to look ahead.

"Where are we going to stargaze?"

After all, for some reason, Guanxing suddenly used the Divine Chariot to take her away from their residence.

"...Himeko, I may no longer be able to stay with you..."

With a completely calm expression, Guanxing said something that shocked Himeko, as if she weren't the one being spoken to.

"What happened? Guan Xing, you are a sage king! Is there anything you can't face?"

Himeko understood what Guanxing was saying. She knew that Guanxing could tell fortunes, and that he must know something to say that.

"coming!"

Following the gaze of the stargazer, Himeko saw that dazzling, noble, and aloof figure from a hundred meters away. He was like the most dazzling star in the night, and even the Changkong Bridge, which was as bright as day, paled in comparison. This person was none other than Kevin, whom she had only met once before.

Are you afraid, Himeko?

Guan Xing noticed the slight trembling on the other person's body, so he put his hand on her shoulder and asked.

"Yeah, scared, maybe..."

Without making a show of denial, Himeko answered honestly. She was not unprepared. After all, even though she had only met Kevin once, his icy face had left a deep impression on her. And now that she was about to fight him, her soul began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Is this why you said goodbye, Stargazer?"

Himeko smiled wryly. Although she had great confidence in her Servant, Stargazer, confidence did not equate to arrogance.

"Although I predict that today is my death day, I want to try one more time!"

With a flick of his wrists, Guan Xing brought the Divine Chariot to a steady stop on the bridge, accompanied by a flash of lightning.

"Himeko, stay here and don't move."

"Hey?"

Before Himeko could react, Mikoto jumped off the oxcart and slowly walked toward the enemy who seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.

"It seems you've accepted your fate!"

Kevin coldly watched the Stargazers approach him. He came here because he wanted to end the Holy Grail War as soon as possible, and his first target was the Stargazers.

"We have long since lost our fear of death and accepted our fate, but everyone has a few rebellious phases. Today, we challenge you!"

"……Can!"

Kevin had no objection to her stargazing; in fact, he wanted to see how she would react.

Afterwards, Guan Xing returned directly to the other end of the bridge.

"Stargazing..."

Himeko looked at her servant with some worry, knowing that Stargazer was no match for Kevin.

"Don't be afraid. I'm confident I can at least keep you alive, but this may be my last battle here."

Stargazer half-jokingly offered some words of comfort, looking at Master's neatly styled red hair and wanting to ruffle it, but in the end he realized he wasn't tall enough, so he had no choice but to give up.

Just then, Himeko suddenly raised her right hand, revealing the Command Seal she had never used before. Then, Himeko spoke: "My Servant, I, Himeko Velvet, command you with a Command Seal, Rider, you must win the final victory."

In an instant, the Command Seal shone brightly, and the Command Seal pattern, which resembled a winged angel, suddenly lost the rightmost wing.

"I command you once again with a Command Spell: Rider, you must obtain the Holy Grail."

A flash of red light, and the angel's left wing also disappeared.

"Finally, I command you with a Command Spell, and you will surely fulfill your wish; failure is not permitted."

The three Command Seals transformed into immense magical power and poured into the Servant's body, while the contract token on Himeko's hand vanished without a trace.

With a sense of loss, the girl lowered her clenched fist and looked up to meet Stargazer's gaze. This was his last and only honor as a Master. She knew that she had always been the one holding Stargazer back, and this was the last thing she could do for him as his Master.

"...Thank you for your trust, Himeko!"

Then Himeko was directly moved onto the Divine Chariot by the Stargazer.

"Stargazing, you..."

"Don't worry, if I say I'll protect your life, I will. Just come with me to the battlefield!"

At this moment, the stargazer also saw the image of Himeko from her own world in Himeko. As expected, Himeko is just as reliable no matter which world she is from!

"I...I...can someone like me really...stay by your side?"

After all, he was just a very weak magician, far inferior to the other Masters in every aspect. If it weren't for the stargazer, he might have died in the previous Holy Grail War.

"What are you saying? I have never looked down on Himeko. In my heart, Himeko is the best. So now stand tall and fight alongside me!"

"Stargazing..."

Himeko looked up at the stars, momentarily speechless, forgetting her fear of the future and death.

"Therefore, we will let you witness our victory with your own eyes!"

Guan Xing gave the girl a reassuring smile, stood in the driver's seat of the Divine Chariot, and looked at Kevin on the other side of the Sky Bridge.

"Archer, our war has officially begun!"

While Guan Xing and Kevin were fighting on the Changkong Bridge, a guest arrived at the church in Changkong City.

"This is it!"
