The Warrior of Love

After saving all mankind, the domination of the world will be handed over to the Empress - this is the agreement between Amakusa Shiro and Semiramis.

In this way, Amakusa Shiro gained Semiramis' full support, but his promise to the empress... was of course a lie!

After completing "salvation", in the perfect future, there is no possibility of someone "dominating the world". Even if the empress wants to become the eternal king, it is just a foolish dream.

Amakusa Shiro was just deceiving the servants' trust and never thought about helping the Empress fulfill this promise.

In fact, he had made a similar promise to the Thunder Emperor...

However, the empress was not naive. She had known for a long time that this was a lie, but she just didn't expose it openly.

As for why she wanted to help the priest even though she knew she was being cheated...only she herself knew the reason.

Perhaps he wanted to see the saint struggle with a moral dilemma, perhaps he wanted to witness Amakusa Shiro's downfall, perhaps he was interested in Amakusa Shiro himself, or maybe... he was just bored.

Thunder Emperor probably knew that Amakusa was lying, but he made the same choice as Semiramis and still dedicated his power to the priest.

The reason of this terrible Tsar was simple and clear: he liked this ambitious young man with beautiful ideals.

Since Amakusa needed strength to realize his dream, Thunder Emperor lent it to him without hesitation, and that was all.

"Assassin, I..."

"Even I have sacrificed my life, you must succeed, Master."

Countless spirit particles began to emanate from the empress's body.

"Otherwise, wouldn't my sacrifice seem cheap?"

"Sorry." Amakusa Shiro said softly, and no one knew what he was talking about.

"Why did you just apologize until the end... What a boring man."

Semiramis first gave a bitter smile, then a relieved smile.

"Goodbye, Amakusa Shiro."

In a flash, the spirits dissipated and the Assyrian queen disappeared in the glory.

"clang!"

Then a beam of light fell down and rolled to the ground with a crisp sound.

"This is……"

Shiro Amakusa picked up the small transparent bottle with a crystal texture and looked at the black liquid shaking inside with a trance look on his face.

Semiramis has both "Assassin" and "Caster" job compatibility. In fact, she is more like a magician than an assassin, so naturally she can also make magic props, but she specializes in poison attributes.

And this seems to be the last work of this specialized magician.

"Semiramis... Thank you. I'll take this."

Chapter 462: You drink this poisonous wine

"I have to admit that you are now stronger than I am... It is your victory, Archer. I can no longer stop you. Go and save this world, the hero who has overcome the Trial of God..."

——Jiang Liu was walking in the empty passage.

His condition was by no means good. There were few intact patches of skin on his body. The extensive burns made him look like a devil that had crawled out of hell.

In addition, the body seemed to be made of glass for some reason, with cracks all over the body that glowed with magical energy.

In the battle with Karna, Jiang Liu's spear of light collided with the opponent's lightning spear, and the energy released completely destroyed the upper level of the courtyard. Now it has been razed to the ground in the true sense, and there is a tendency for the entire fortress to collapse.

Although the power of the two Noble Phantasms was largely offset by each other, even just some of the aftermath was enough to surpass an A-rank anti-city Noble Phantasm.

It is also worth mentioning that both of their Noble Phantasms have the effect of "Special Attack against God", and Jiang Liu and Karna are both holders of the highest level of divinity...so if they get hit, it will be no joke.

Relying on his powerful defense, Jiang Liu was able to survive the bombardment of the God-killing Thunder Spear, but Karna was just the opposite. He gave up defense in exchange for the treasure, and was hit by the attack of the Mecha God, and his spirit core was completely shattered.

However, even if he won, Jiang Liu's condition was very bad, even worse than the time he defeated Achilles.

Alas, now he probably can’t even defeat the Rebellious Knight (Xiao Mo:??).

Passing through corridors and rooms, Jiang Liu did not encounter any extra obstacles, probably because the servants each had their opponents.

Although he didn't have a map of the sky courtyard, he was able to avoid taking a detour thanks to his strong intuition and soon arrived at the real core area, where the Holy Grail was stored.

However, when he found this place, someone had already arrived before him.

"Former Ruler Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, your plan has no future and is not feasible at all. As the current "Ruler", I have the mission to stop and defeat you, so be prepared!"

The blonde girl held the holy flag and questioned the enemy with a stern and fearless look on her face, while the white-haired priest standing opposite her remained expressionless.

This is a spacious space that seems to have been specially opened up to store the Holy Grail.

It was at this moment that Jiang Liu truly saw the true face of the so-called "Great Holy Grail".

It was a huge sphere made mainly of golden material. It looked like an overly gorgeous coffin, or an eggshell that had just been pecked open... But if you look closely, you will find that it is actually a pair of wings folded together.

Surrounded by wings is a statue of a beautiful and holy woman...

Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, that should be the appearance of the Winter Saint, and the Saint herself turned the magic circuit recording the third law into the base of the Holy Grail.

The enormous magical power that had been accumulated for sixty years was flowing around the Holy Grail in the form of mist that was almost visible to the naked eye.

This is undoubtedly the most valuable treasure in the world of magicians!

Not only because it symbolizes the third Dharmakāya cup, but also because its huge magic power is enough to be used as a wishing machine.

In fact, even without those two abilities, the secret of the structure of the Holy Grail alone - that is, the magic technology it contains - is enough to make magicians crazy!

This thing is undoubtedly the most advanced magic furnace core in the world!

It is even stronger than the hearts of fantasy species and even the mythical dragon species!

It is such a precious treasure, now placed in the air dozens of meters high, emitting a sacred light from within, constantly increasing its presence, making people realize that it is slowly awakening, and something will happen once it reaches a critical point.

The white-haired priest stood in front of the Holy Grail, stepping on the invisible magic stairs in the void, looking at Joan of Arc expressionlessly, but a hint of sadness could be seen in his eyes.

Perhaps he knew in his heart that he could not convince Joan of Arc with words, and that he and this saint who saved the country were destined to not understand each other, so in the face of Ruler's questioning, he just remained silent.

Only after Jiang Liu arrived, his calm face couldn't help but be moved, and he looked at the Black Archer in surprise.

"Lancer actually lost?"

After saying that, Amakusa shook his head and said, "Well, there's nothing to be shocked about. After all, in terms of the rank of a hero, the famous Hercules wouldn't lose to anyone."

"Archer?"

Joan of Arc turned around and saw Jiang Liu, and couldn't help but reveal an expression of surprise.

"Great! This way we're safe!"

She is a servant who prefers defense. She will not be afraid no matter who she fights with, but it is not an easy task for her to defeat Amakusa who has the Holy Grail in a short period of time.

Of course, Amakusa’s fighting ability is not very strong, and it is almost impossible for him to break through Jeanne’s defense.

Jiang Liu's arrival instantly broke the original stalemate. The Black Archer, who was powerful enough to defeat Achilles and Karna, could undoubtedly defeat Amakusa Shiro even in his seriously injured state.

Even Amakusa himself admitted this.

However, even knowing this, Amakusa still won't give up. Now that he has come this far, he can only carry out his will and go all the way to the end!

To do this, he must overcome the Trial called Hercules!

"Great hero of Greece, your strength is beyond my reach."

Amakusa held an exquisite crystal bottle in his hand, which contained pure black liquid.

"What is that?" Joan of Arc, with her sharp intuition, immediately realized what it could be.

"Could it be that--"

"Poison?" Jiang Liu seemed to be thinking about it, but he remained calm and didn't seem to care much.

However, the bizarre next scene really made him open his eyes wide -

"So I have to exclude you no matter what!"

Amakusa opened the bottle, then, in front of Jiang Liu and Jeanne's shocked and confused gazes, he actually raised his head and drank it all in one gulp!

"What on earth is..." Joan of Arc was a little confused.

“Ugh! Aa ...

In just a moment, all the blood vessels in Amakusa Shiro's body twisted and bulged, all the exposed skin turned red, and the wriggling blood vessels looked like worms burrowing in his body.

“Hahaha… This is more painful than I imagined!”

Gritting his teeth and speaking out his thoughts, as if torturing himself, Amakusa Shiro revealed a self-deprecating smile.

"Death would be much easier... Perhaps this is God's punishment for me. But even so, I will continue to move forward! This dream... will never fail!"

With his arms spread out like a saint in suffering, the priest let himself fall backwards, falling straight into the Holy Grail...

Chapter 463: The spreading poison of Hydra

Inside the Greater Holy Grail, someone who fell into it was crushed by the huge magical power and began to "melt" like ice and snow under direct sunlight.

The flesh and blood that made up his body were peeled off bit by bit and annihilated in the pure magic field. From skin to nerves to muscles to bones... this man silently endured torture that was countless times more cruel than lingchi.

All the visible flesh and blood melted away, but only the invisible "holy marks" were left.

That was Amakusa Shiro's magic circuit, which was gradually connected to the magic formula inside the Holy Grail in a realm invisible to the naked eye...

Normally this is absolutely impossible, because the core of the Greater Holy Grail is the magic circuit of the Winter Saint, which is the recording tape of the ritual of the "Heavenly Grail".

Even electrical circuits would short-circuit due to random splicing, let alone magic circuits that were countless times more complex and could not be interfered with by physical means.

The complexity of the "Third Law" exceeds that of any family's magic seals, and it is simply not something that humans can attempt to modify.

But Amakusa Shiro is different, his magic circuit is "abnormal".

He had analyzed his own magic circuits. Originally, magic circuits would become fixed organs as soon as they were "switched on". Unless something unexpected happened, their properties would not change throughout one's life.

However, his magic circuits constantly change in seconds, and sometimes even the number of circuits increases or decreases. This goes against the common sense of the magic world and cannot be explained by existing theories. It can only be considered a kind of "talent."

Furthermore, after becoming a Servant, his legend was sublimated into a Noble Phantasm, granting him a pair of arms that could perfectly utilize this gift.

It is literally the "Hand of Miracles", a Skeleton Key that can be connected to any magic base and use any magic.

During the Third Holy Grail War, he accidentally came into contact with the Greater Holy Grail, and when he was "incarnated", this treasure became a kind of "physique" of his.

It was also at that time that he discovered that by relying on his special magic circuits and treasures, there was a possibility of connecting with the Holy Grail!

Therefore, Shiro Amakusa regarded this as a revelation from God.

This must be fate's arrangement. He is destined to use the Holy Grail to redeem the world!

Since then, Amakusa Shiro has spent sixty years preparing for the Fourth Holy Grail War, and today...

He finally became one with the Holy Grail, or rather, he became a part of the Holy Grail!

[Alienation Circuit Awakening]

hum! !

The light radiating from the Holy Grail became more and more dazzling, and the huge and sluggish magic power seemed to become active, and more and more powerful pressure descended on this space.

This is a completely different kind of "pressure" from great heroes like Karna, Achilles, and Siegfried.

It is not a product of will and momentum, but simply "power" and "scale". The magic that should be invisible distorts space in the form of a entity!

"Is the Holy Grail activated?!"

Joan of Arc opened her eyes wide, her breathing became rapid, and then her eyes fixed, as if she had made up her mind, and she reached for the rapier at her waist.

"We must not let Amakusa Shiro's plan succeed. If we can't stop it, then we'll just destroy it!"

The saint has already made up her mind to sacrifice herself, and is willing to destroy Amakusa's plan even at the cost of her own life.
