A journey into an infinite dimension

"The road ahead is full of obstacles..."

......

......

"There are so many different kinds of auras here, some that disgust me, some that are similar to me, some that are of my own kind, and some that are heroes."

Spreading its jet-black wings in the air, the three-headed, pale dragon in human form lowered its three ferocious heads, and its six pairs of scarlet eyes swept over everyone present. They stayed on Shoggoth and Aige for a long time, and then turned to Melusine and Jiaye.

"who are you?"

After recovering from the hazy and confused state and suppressing the feeling in his heart, Jiaye summoned Tenkailong, and at the same time brought Fenrir, Leviatan and Ritsuka on Leviatan's body.

Many neutral servants also rushed to the scene at the same time, and the berserk servants who were not killed also gathered around Jeanne d'Arc Alter, who looked a little embarrassed, at her call.

Just like this, all the alien existences of this era are now gathered on this vast plain.

Rather than a four-way confrontation between the neutral Servants, Jeanne Alter's Servants, the Chaldean forces, and the Shoggoths, it's more like a three-way confrontation between human evil, non-human evil, and unknown evil.

"My name is Aziz Dahaka. I have descended here as 'Beast-V', answering the call to seek a hero who can defeat me. Humans, I ask you, do you have the courage and resolve to face me, to surpass me, and to pierce my chest with your weapons?!"

The three heads of the evil dragon roared towards the sky, and a sense of oppression that was even larger and more real than the beast 666 quietly enveloped everyone's heart. This time, it was not only Ritsuka and Kaya who were targeted. Everyone else, without exception, felt the terrifying power as if the entire sky was collapsing.

————【Advent Beast (Mankind’s Evil Appears)】————

"If you insist on standing in our way, then this is the only choice we have."

Facing this terrifying pressure and feeling the greatest malice towards humans contained therein, Jiaye's expression gradually became solemn and cold.

But he did not retreat, even though he knew that the person before him was a god-level being, because he and they had no way out.

If the singularity is not corrected and human nature is not restored, Zero and his father cannot be saved. At the same time, when time in Chaldea comes to an end, they will also perish along with human history. Therefore, even if they face an enemy that is impossible to cross, they must cross it!

"It is the moment when humanity rises to heroism after suffering so much pain. Very good!"

A very human expression of admiration and joy appeared on Aziz Dahaka's face. The moment he finished speaking, he suddenly lowered his center of gravity and brushed past a swiftly approaching dark tentacle. However, the next moment, he was heavily knocked to the ground by the whip that split from the tentacle.

boom! !

The massive impact caused the ground beneath everyone's feet to begin shaking violently like an earthquake. Huge spider-web-like cracks spread from Aziz Dahaka to several kilometers away in a short moment. A large amount of clear groundwater was even forced to gush out from under the ground through the cracks due to the impact.

The moment the incident happened, Jiaye had already manipulated Fenrir and Leviathan to take Hong, Ritsuka, Mashu and Atalanta into the sky to save them from the subsequent shock.

After gathering them together with Aige, Jiaye looked back at the direction of the Shoggoth who had just attacked and the downed Azi Dahaka.

The reason why he was able to react immediately was because he vaguely sensed the signs that the Shoggoth was about to take action, but he couldn't understand why he was able to sense this.

Is it really because of this?

Jia Ye subconsciously raised his hands and placed them on his eyes.

The reason why he was stunned before was that he felt a feeling from the Shoggoth that was similar to the inherent barrier of his eyes. It was not those glass-colored flames, but the shadow with fangs and claws bared behind the moon in the night sky.

Even he, the owner of the eyes, didn't know what that shadow was. Every time he opened his eyes, he would sense an indescribable feeling from that shadow.

He could not control the shadow because he did not know where the shadow's body was. What he saw in the inherent barrier was just a projection from somewhere, like a mirage.

So he guessed that perhaps the reason why Shoggoth appeared was because he had opened his eyes before in Lyon, allowing the inherent barrier to be embedded in this singularity.

In other words, Shoggoths may be creatures living within his inherent barrier.

He actually didn't know much about the inherent barrier of his eyes, because the inherent barrier projected by the eyes had the nature of being unable to be eliminated, so in the past he used this ability to avoid being found by the inhibitory force, not to mention spending time to study it.

However, perhaps he must study this power carefully from now on. After all, human nature has been destroyed and the restraining power is probably gone. He does not need to worry about being regarded as an "important factor in the destruction of the world" by the restraining power and being eliminated.

Opening his eyes does not consume any magic power, so if he wants to, he is fully capable of turning the entire world into his inherent barrier.

So, with all kinds of thoughts in his mind, Jiaye slowly opened his eyes as he watched the Shoggoth fighting with Azi Dahaka who had risen from the earth again.

In an instant, the world changed, and a large number of disgusting screams rang out one after another. Countless hateful figures trampled on the earth, bathed in the glass-colored flames, under the starry sky, under the bright moon, in the indescribable, standing in the eyes of absolute evil, in the eyes of the heroes, and in the eyes of everyone.

Chapter 32: Hero

"?"

Jia Ye tilted his head in confusion. Are there so many Shoggoths?

When did they gather here?

"...Gaya?"

Hong and Melusin were naturally very familiar with this scenery. If it were not for the fact that it was this scenery that prevented Jiaye from using his eyes, this scenery would have been enough to be ranked first in their hearts. However, they never thought that they would see such a large number of disgusting things in such a beautiful scenery.

In fact, if you count the gaps between their bodies, there are only about seven Shoggoths present. However, because of their huge size and too many swaying tentacles, they look like an army of thousands, giving everyone goosebumps all over their bodies.

"I don't know where all these Shoggoths come from."

Jia Ye spread his hands innocently.

"I don't know if my feeling is wrong, but for now, they are allies."

As if to prove Jiaye's words, the moment before he finished speaking, the Shoggoths' figures transformed into Fenrir, Leviathan, Tianhuilong, Azi Dahaka, Melusine and other hideous or distorted postures in a disgusting wriggling and twisting, and then rushed to the battlefield not far away. Even though the scenery of the world changed, the battle did not stop.

With the support of his companions, the Shoggoth that appeared first had time to regroup. After a familiar twist in its posture, the killer with seven heads and ten horns appeared on the spot, and then rushed towards Aziz Dahaka with a roar.

In an eight-to-one situation, coupled with the Shoggoth's powerful recovery ability and the fact that although they appear to have physical forms, their physical posture and appearance are actually unrestricted racial talents, even someone as powerful as Aziz Dahaka was temporarily caught in a tough battle.

However, this good news did not make everyone happy—at least it did not make Melusine and Aige happy at all.

Their expressions at this moment were as if they had eaten something dirty, and they looked extremely gloomy and ugly.

"..."

Silently glancing at the 666 beast behind him, Ai Ge calmly moved his feet to create distance between them, leaving question marks written all over its head.

"Master, I want to die..."

Holding her shoulders tightly, Melusin looked at Jiaye with an expression as if she wanted to cry and vomit, and there was a hint of distortion in her eyes.

As for why this happened, just look at Melusine, who had half of her body burned by Aziz Dahaka's magic, and then quickly recovered her whole body in a disgusting squirming of tentacles and once again joined the battle.

Perhaps this scene was just disgusting to bystanders, but as the template chosen by the Shoggoth when it transformed, Melusine was very calm at this moment and even wanted to fire a Noble Phantasm.

"Don't look at it, just think of it as a dream."

Covering her eyes wordlessly, Jia Ye comforted her softly.

"Then this must be a nightmare..."

Weiwei buried his face in Jiaye's arms tremblingly. Melusin hugged him tightly, and a dreamy voice came out quietly, leaving Jiaye with nothing but a bitter smile.

He also didn't know that Shoggoths had the ability to change shape, and he didn't know that Melusine was used as a template because of a few of her inhuman appearance features.

"Jiaye, it feels so comfortable to be embraced by this warm and beautiful woman, right?"

Gently hooking her arms around Jiaye's neck from behind, Hong laid on his back and smiled playfully.

"Is this considered repaying the favor Melusine gave me when she flew here with you?"

Hong deliberately emphasized the word "humanity", and her jealousy was self-evident.

"Actually, it's quite comfortable from behind."

Jia Ye, whose desire to survive surged, said calmly.

"Humph, it would be more comfortable if it was the ugly duckling's. Mine can't compare to hers."

A blush quietly appeared on her pretty face, and she snorted proudly. Her cute appearance immediately made Jiaye's heart beat faster.

“I can’t comment on that…”

The people on the side said that eating dog food instead of popcorn combined with mythical-level battles just felt different.

“————Ahhh, this is really... I didn’t expect this to happen. I didn’t expect this to happen. This is really unpleasant.”

Compared to the crowds of onlookers who were "watching the dog abuse" here, the atmosphere on the other side was full of gunpowder.

The main characters are two servants, the black Jeanne d'Arc Alter and the white Jeanne d'Arc.

"Who are you?!"

Joan of Arc stared blankly at Joan of Arc Alter, who was like a mirror opposite to herself, and asked with a trembling voice.

"That's a question I should be asking... Well, as the real me, I'll answer you."

Hiding the sarcastic expression on her face, Joan of Arc Alter looked down at Joan of Arc with a cold and arrogant look, and a hint of contempt gradually appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"I am Jeanne d'Arc, the saint who came back from the dead to save the nation—'another me'."

"..."

It seemed that Joan of Arc was unable to accept this huge amount of information. After a long silence, she slowly shook her head.

"Don't be silly. You're not a saint, just like I am not a saint either—no, those are the past that doesn't need to be mentioned. What's more important now is why did you summon a group of dragons to destroy this country?"

"....You ask me...why?"

All the expressions on her face gradually disappeared, and Jeanne Alter looked at Jeanne coldly.

"I thought you, a fellow Jeanne, would understand. I didn't expect that after the attribute transformation, I would become so stupid."

"Reason? Isn't that obvious? Because I want revenge, I want France to fall. Since I possess such great power, using political and economic means is too troublesome, so I choose to use this physical method."

"As long as France is destroyed, nothing that happens in the process matters, because all I want is the result."

"What a stupid act...!"

Joan of Arc was shocked. She never expected that the 'other self' in front of her would want to destroy the country that gave birth to and raised them for such a reason.

"Foolish behavior? We are the ones who are foolish, Jeanne."

Jeanne Alter shook her head slightly.

"Even though this country gave birth to us and raised us, it also betrayed us, so we are even. So, why do you want to save this country? Why save those fools?"

Having said this, Jeanne Alter's emotions suddenly became visibly excited.

"They clearly betrayed you and despised your existence. Even if you're such a nice guy, there's a limit to how much you can do!!"

“That’s because—”

Jeanne opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Jeanne Alter.

"I won't be deceived again, and I won't tolerate betrayal anymore! After all, this era has ended. Even something designed to destroy humanity has appeared. Even if you want to save it, what can you really save?"

Pointing to the gradually escalating battle situation over there, with a lot of aftermath already affecting their battlefield, Jeanne Alter questioned loudly.

"Can you defeat Him, or do you hope that He will listen to the Lord's voice with you and be converted into a dog of the Lord?"

"I......"

Jeanne was speechless. Indeed, it was meaningless to question the 'Joan of Arc' in front of her now. Before defeating Azi Dahaka, what would it matter even if she could make Jeanne Alter repent?

"Then defeat Him."

"....What?"

The sudden sound made everyone, including the two Jeannes and the other servants who were watching silently, turn their heads to look at Ritsuka who was being pushed towards him from Kaya's direction with staggering steps.

"I say, then let's defeat Him. I believe there is no invincible power in the world. The reason we think He is invincible is simply because we haven't seen His limits, but that doesn't mean He doesn't have limits."

He turned around and looked at Jiaye with resentment, bathed in the gazes of all the heroes from different eras. Although it felt a bit risky, the words had already been spoken, so Ritsuka could only bite the bullet and do it.

"I believe in the combined strength of all the heroes present. Even if we can't defeat him, we can at least understand his limitations and know the limits of his power."

"But even so, we still can't defeat Him?"

Marie Antoinette, one of the neutral Servants summoned by the Holy Grail, said in confusion.

"But we know His limits. Now that we know His limits, we can find a way to bridge the gap between us and Him."

Having said this, Ritsuka looked at the servants who seemed to be lost in thought, then quietly turned her head and stared at Kaya with a gloomy gaze.

"Now it's your turn, Mr. Chaldea's other Master."

In response to this, Jiaye could only shrug helplessly, then patted Hong's arm, motioning her to get off his back first, then gently pushed Melusin in his arms into her arms, and slowly walked to Ritsuka's side.

"We have the means to summon Servants. Perhaps under normal circumstances, the success rate of this summoning method is very low, but if I'm not mistaken, the 'Beast' should be the reason why you became Heroic Spirits. The reason why the Norse God King Odin summoned the spirits of heroes was to fight against 'Ragnarok', and you, the Heroic Spirits and Servants summoned by the restraining force, must exist to fight against the 'Beast'."

"Therefore, the success rate of summoning Heroic Spirits at this moment is—one hundred percent."

"Why are you so sure of this?"

asked Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, standing next to Mary.

"That's just your guess, isn't it?"
