The shuttle in the second dimension

　Gilgamesh, the oldest king, possesses the prototypes of all the Heroic Spirits' Noble Phantasms in the world.

　Lin Xuan, the godslayer from another world, is a heroic spirit capable of unleashing divine power.

　No matter which Holy Grail War these two Heroic Spirits appear in, they will overshadow the other Heroic Spirits in that Holy Grail War. However, these two appeared in the same battle. Although it is not clear which one will win in the end, there is no doubt that these two are extremely powerful Heroic Spirits.

　However, according to Rider, the heroic spirit that appeared tonight was similar to Berserker and might also possess Gilgamesh's infinite treasure, which made him shocked.

　"It seems that something unknown happened in the Fourth Holy Grail War—" The boy sighed, looking up.

　-

　I'd like to say sorry here. I'm afraid the update of the chapter I owed yesterday will have to be put off until tomorrow. Sorry——

Chapter 66: Garden above the clouds

　Nearly two days have passed since the chase with Rider in the air. During this period, nothing major has happened. It's just that Rin often takes Saber (White) out to look for Lancer's traces, and has no intention of letting Lancer go.

　However, during this period of time, Saber (White) and Lancer encountered each other once and fought a little, but Lancer still retreated, which made Lin very angry.

　夜晚

　"—"

　At this moment, as if sensing something, all the magicians and servants in Fuyuki City raised their heads and looked towards the sky shrouded in darkness. There was the prototype of a garden, with wood, stone, minerals, plants and water constantly rising above the clouds.

　Looking up, Lin Xuan looked into the distance at the sky shrouded in darkness. Even though he possessed eyesight unmatched by ordinary people, it was not enough for him to see above the clouds.

　"Clairvoyance--" Suddenly, an extremely sophisticated small magic circle suddenly appeared in front of Lin Xuan's right eye. This was one of the few magic tricks that Lin Xuan had learned in the world of God Slayer.

　With the help of magic - clairvoyance, Lin Xuan could clearly see the sky garden floating above the clouds through the clouds.

　Above the clouds, a huge garden was built. The ancient garden gave people an indescribable feeling.

　But that garden was too weird, not because of its shape, but because it was upside down.

　Not only is the garden upside down, the water in the garden flows from the bottom to the top, and the plants grow downwards, as if all the concepts within the entire garden have been turned upside down.

　Eleven counterattack spells (over 20 meters long, pitch-black plates) were set up around the garden, guarding it like loyal guards. However, judging by the magical fluctuations emanating from those spells, the destructive power of each strike was likely comparable to that of an anti-military force.

　Looking at the garden above the clouds, Lin Xuan's face did not show a trace of solemnity, but spoke with a smile.

　"Ah—so the three-day ceremony was supposed to create this—a completely upside-down garden. Isn't this that ex-level Anti-World Noble Phantasm—the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? So the other assassin is her, hehe—the quality of the Heroic Spirits in this Holy Grail War is truly high, several notches higher than the fourth—"

　"The only thing left is Sa_ver's real name, and—" Lin Xuan slowly lowered his head, squinted his eyes, and said thoughtfully, "The Holy Grail War has been going on for several days. I think that little girl in the forest is probably about to lose her patience—"

　Lightly tapping the ground, Lin Xuan squinted his eyes and laughed.

　……

　Templar church

　"It seems the assassination ritual was successful, but that hanging garden is truly magnificent—"

　Squinting his eyes and shaking his head, the silver-haired boy said solemnly.

　"Indeed - even I have to admit that garden -" Rider said, narrowing his eyes like the sun, but there was no concern on his face.

　"Assassin is indeed a powerful ally, but she should not forget the title given to her in history - the oldest poisoner. If we are not careful, we will also be poisoned by her -" Slowly walking out from the shadows, Kallen's face was still as expressionless as ever, without the slightest expression.

　"We do need to be careful, but the most important goal right now is to eliminate the unknown Heroic Spirit who currently poses the greatest threat. However, I never expected that the Heroic Spirit would not return to interrupt the Assassin's ritual in the past three days—"

　"I'm not sure. As for Lancer, based on the observations of Assassin's familiars these past few days, it seems that he is being hunted by Saber. As for the Einzbern family, it's unclear why they haven't taken any action these days. As for the Matou residence, apart from Saber and her Master going out to search for Lancer, the other Heroic Spirits haven't made any moves. They've just been accompanying their Masters to school. But..." Kallen paused here.

　"But what?" the boy raised his eyebrows and asked.

　"Just the day before Saber and Lancer's first battle, Archer and Berserker had a small-scale fight. Based on the information provided by Caster, combined with the remaining information from the Fourth Holy Grail War, I'm afraid Rider's guess that day was correct. Archer may really possess the abilities of Archer and Berserker from the Fourth Holy Grail War—"

　"Is that so? It's okay. Although he is difficult to deal with, the three heroes here are not easy to deal with either. It's just that there are more variables." The silver-haired man said, touching his chin.

　"Hmph - don't worry, Archer, I will take care of it. As long as he dares to enter my temple, I can make him withdraw from this Holy Grail War -" Rider suddenly opened his eyes and spoke arrogantly.

　Perhaps, he who spoke such arrogant words was, after all, the king of kings, who had gained mystery with his achievements before the Common Era. He was the strongest pharaoh in ancient Egypt. It was not difficult to understand that he had absolute confidence in his own strength.

　"But, Master of sa_ver - is it really okay for you to hide your own heroic spirit like this -" Looking directly at the silver-haired boy, Rider's eyes like the sun released endless power. As he spoke, Rider also glanced at the shadow behind the silver-haired boy.

　"Rider—" Kallen said softly, frowning at her servant. Before she could continue, the silver-haired boy gently waved his hand.

　"Don't worry, Kallen-chan, what Rider said is right - and Rider probably also discovered it -"

　"Okay, come out——sa_ver"

Chapter 67: The Gradually Disappearing Laziness

　Matou House. See 1Maoxian3Chinese website

　"Hey - Lin Xuan, what is that that suddenly appeared above the clouds?" Although they could not see the sky garden above the clouds clearly, this did not prevent Rin, Sakura and others from sensing something unusual above the clouds.

　Although the aura emitted by the Hanging Gardens of Babylon was not obvious, from the moment the three-day ceremony of Assassin ended and the hanging gardens were built, the magical fluctuations were clearly sensed by all the magicians and heroic spirits in the city.

　"Oh - you are here -" After canceling the magic 'Clairvoyance', Lin Xuan turned his head slightly and said to the people behind him.

　"That's Assassin's Noble Phantasm—[Hanging Gardens of Babylon]"

　"Noble Phantasm?" Hearing Lin Xuan's reply, Lin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

　"Yes, that's her treasure—" Leaning lightly against the wall in the corridor, Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement.

　"-She? Have you seen Assassin?" Raising his eyebrows, Lin looked at Lin Xuan with suspicion.

　The same was true for Xiaoying. Although Lin Xuan was her servant, due to her trust and reliance on Lin Xuan, she would not restrict Lin Xuan's actions. She would even help Lin Xuan unconditionally and wholeheartedly. However, while Xiaoying did not restrict Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan would also report to Xiaoying every time he took action. However, this was the first time she heard Lin Xuan talk about the assassin.

　Saber (Blue), the Heroic Spirit summoned by Lin Xuan in violation of regulations, was also unaware of Lin Xuan's actions. After all, to be honest, with Lin Xuan's strength, it didn't seem to make much difference whether she was there or not. Now,

　As for Joan of Arc, although her initial duty was to maintain order in the Holy Grail War, after learning the truth about the Holy Grail from Lin Xuan, the kind-hearted Joan of Arc did not want the "all evil in this world (angramainyu)" in the Holy Grail to come and destroy the world. Therefore, she has not been following Lin Xuan, the biggest variable in the Holy Grail War and the root cause of the distortion of the Holy Grail War.

　"No - I haven't met Assassin either. I just recognized that treasure, so I was able to figure out Assassin's true identity." Shaking his head, Lin Xuan explained that if it weren't for the sky garden above the clouds, he would not be able to guess Assassin's identity.

　"Brother, what is the identity of the assassin?" This time it was Sakura who asked. Even though she was not very interested in this Holy Grail War, she still wanted to know more about it. After all, her closest relative, Lin Xuan, participated in this Holy Grail War as a servant.

　"She once ruled the Assyrian Empire. The legendary queen is also known as the world's oldest poisoner - Semiramis." Lin Xuan said calmly with half-open eyes.

　"Semiramis—" Unlike Lin Xuan's calmness, Lin frowned slightly, "But this is a bit strange. As an assassin, why would she have such a treasure? This is inconsistent with her directness."

　"Double Summon—" Lin Xuan said, "This skill allows her to acquire the class skills of both Assassin and Caster, so it's okay to say she's a Caster—"

　"After all, one of the conditions for activating that Noble Phantasm is to chant the ritual continuously for three days and three nights—" Glancing in the direction of the Holy Church with half-open eyes, Lin Xuan continued, "Also, Assassin, Rider, and Sa_ver have formed an alliance, so it won't be long before we're about to engage them in the most intense battle of this Holy Grail War."

　"Hey, hey—" Lin Xuan looked at him with a bad face and some complaints, and said, "You didn't know all these things from the beginning, did you? Assassin's three-day and three-night chanting ceremony, the tripartite alliance between Assassin, Rider and Sa_ver, and so on—"

　"There were speculations about their alliance before, and I felt it the moment the assassin performed the ritual--" Lin Xuan said unconsciously with a shrug.

　"Why didn't you stop it after you found out? And why didn't you tell us!!!" Looking at the casual Lin Xuan with a frown on his face, Lin felt like he really wanted to punch him.

　"Don't worry, even if they cooperate, so what? Even if Assassin activates his Noble Phantasm, so what—" The casual look on his face was swept away, replaced by an arrogance that Rin, Sakura and the others had never seen before.

　"To be honest, except for sa_ver, I don't care about the other heroic spirits. This is true even if my strength is limited by the restraining force..." The words that were so confident that they were almost conceited came out of Lin Xuan's mouth, leaving everyone present stunned for a moment.

　"Hmph—" The corners of his mouth gradually stretched out, outlining an arrogant smile. The laziness in Lin Xuan's pair of blue eyes began to slowly dissipate. Although it did not stop completely, the aura of Lin Xuan had changed greatly.

　If Lin Xuan before was like a sleeping beast, then at this moment he was a giant beast that was gradually opening its sleepy eyes.

　"—"

　Such a huge change could certainly not go unnoticed by Jeanne and the other three Heroic Spirits. Even Rin and Sakura could feel the huge change in temperament, although not as clearly as Jeanne and the others.

　"Hmph - you're only starting to look serious now -" Seeing Lin Xuan starting to look serious, Lin snorted coldly and said.

　"By the way - Rin, and Saber (Bai), are you in need of the Lancer position?" Lin Xuan asked playfully with narrowed eyes.

　"I can tell you~~~~~~"

Chapter 1: The End of Berserker

　Einzbern Forest

　"Ten years later, there hasn't been much change here—" Lin Xuan sighed as he walked slowly through the forest.

　call--

　The cold wind at night made the leaves on the trees rustle. Walking slowly on the road, Lin Xuan had no awareness that he was intruding into someone else's territory. Instead, he looked indifferent.

　Shortly after Assassin successfully activated her Noble Phantasm [Hanging Gardens of Babylon], Lin Xuan left the Matou residence and came here. As for Rin, Lin Xuan told her the location of Lancer and his Master, and asked her to take Saber (White) and Saber (Blue) with her.

　Originally, Rin didn't want to bring Saber (blue), thinking that it was Lin Xuan's lack of trust in her, but Lin Xuan said very directly, "When Lancer's Noble Phantasm is aimed at you, can you fire that long (hx) spear that can reverse cause and effect more times?", and this sentence directly blocked Rin's next words from her mouth, and she couldn't say them.

　This time when entering the forest, Lin Xuan did not conceal himself at all and released his aura unscrupulously, as if he was afraid that the enemy did not know where he was.

　"No movement~~ Or are you waiting for me in the castle--" Raising his eyebrows, Lin Xuan raised his head slightly, and looked at the castle not far away through the gaps between the leaves.

　As he spoke, Lin Xuan continued walking towards the castle at a leisurely pace.

　——Inside the castle——

　"My lady, is it really not strange that you let that heroic spirit walk around so freely?" In the hall, beside Eliasfi, a white-haired maid frowned and asked.

　"Sera is such a worrier - even if he has any intention, he can't defeat Berserker, because Berserker is invincible -" Illyasviel responded to the maid beside her nonchalantly and continued to taste the black tea in the cup.

　Seeing Illya's nonchalant look, the maid named Sera put forward her own idea.

　“Although this is true…I object.”

　"Stop making so much noise!!! I've already made up my mind!" Like a child throwing a tantrum, Illyasviel's face was filled with unhappiness. "As the city lord, I've already said what to do. You all must obey me—"

　However, the maid did not back down from her young lady's temper-like behavior. Instead, she continued, "As the city lord, you should have driven that Heroic Spirit away instead of letting him go—" ://>≯

　boom--

　Just when Illya was about to refute the maid, there was a loud noise from the main gate of the castle - as if the main gate was violently smashed open.

　"What a rude Heroic Spirit—" Illya frowned slightly, her cute face full of disdain.

　Putting down the tea set in her hand, Illya said to the maid beside her.

　"You should find some shelter. The Heroic Spirit who's taller than you is not one to be underestimated. I'm worried that you might be harmed by the aftermath of their battle—"

　"My lady - our duty is to protect you from foreign enemies." While bowing to Illya, the maids showed no intention of leaving.
