The Warrior of Love

"What's going on?" Toosaka Tokiomi fell into deep thought.

The Holy Grail has been contaminated, so there is no need for the Servants to continue fighting, although there are special cases like King Arthur and Lancelot... Why would someone invade his own home?

"Could it be that!"

Tokiomi was not stupid and quickly thought of a possibility.

"You want even the filthy Holy Grail... You are such a greedy fellow! King, it's me... Someone has invaded your garden. Please punish them with divine punishment."

After finishing his thoughts, Tokiomi thought that it would be better to keep Archer. At least until the end of the Holy Grail War, he would be the guarantee of the Tōsaka family's safety.

Since he was being beaten up, Tokiomi had no intention of hiding away. He walked to the balcony that overlooked the mansion and cast his eyes towards the lawn in front.

“Who is that person, Einzbern, or Matou? His obsession with the Holy Grail is actually… um, what, what is that?!”

When I saw the figure in the garden, my eyes widened in disbelief and my heart skipped a beat.

"Sakura... No!"

Taking a deep breath, Tokiomi covered his heart and managed to calm down.

"It's not Sakura! Even though she looks very similar, she's definitely not her!"

The one who invaded the Toosaka residence was not any of the servants who had appeared at the port before, but a little girl who looked only six or seven years old!

The most incredible thing is that this enemy is almost exactly the same as Tousaka Tokiomi's little daughter, Matou Sakura!

Height, looks, temperament, and a rainbow ribbon tied on one side...the only thing that was different was the hair color.

I was unable to distinguish it in the dim light just now, but only after I calmed down did I realize the difference.

The hair color of the two sisters Sakura and Rin was inherited from Tokiomi, which is standard black hair, but this little girl has extremely mysterious and beautiful silver hair, which radiates a rainbow-like luster even in the night.

Although he was sure that she was not his daughter, it was impossible for the enemy to look like this by coincidence, and Tōsaka Tokiomi was confused for a moment.

"Humph, you actually dared to trespass into my residence. You are such a bold fellow."

Gilgamesh appeared at a high place, standing on a statue, looking down at the enemy who looked like a little girl with an unhappy look on his face.

"Originally, I was in a bad mood, and your luck is really bad!"

"I know where your anger comes from."

The silver-haired "Sakura" made the same sound as herself, but the tone was more frivolous, as if she was mocking Gilgamesh.

"It's really funny that a dignified hero king was subdued in just a few moves, without even the strength to resist!"

Well, it’s either “as if” or it’s a mockery!

"asshole!"

The tyrant was suddenly furious as his pain point was hit, and a large number of golden ripples lit up behind him.

"My Holy Grail War is not over yet. After I kill you, I will also kill that abominable man, no matter where he comes from!"

So it’s hard to persuade the damn ghost with nice words. Jiang Liu has already given him a "Personality Correction Punch", but he is still so stubborn. He deserves to continue to be abused.

Of course, that also requires him to pass the current hurdle.

"Are all of them prototypes of Noble Phantasms? As expected of the most ancient King of Heroes, this level of strength is unparalleled among the Servants."

The silver-haired girl smiled softly, as if she was saying something that was only natural: "But you can't beat me."

Chapter 691: Ending the Holy Grail War in One Night

To be honest, Tōsaka Tokiomi didn't see clearly what happened.

The battles between Servants are difficult for mortals to understand, not to mention that the two people fighting each other are particularly terrifying among the Servants.

One thing is certain, however: the battle was a defeat for Gilgamesh.

As the oldest hero king, Gilgamesh is definitely not a weakling. In fact, he can usually win in normal Holy Grail Wars. But this time... it can only be considered that he was unlucky.

At the beginning, he encountered Jiang Liu who was out of his league, and now he encountered a true "God" - an existence that should never appear in the Holy Grail War.

When the King of Heroes opened the gate of the Golden City, the silver-haired Matou Sakura also opened something similar.

However, unlike the heavy rain composed of millions of different Noble Phantasms, it was a field composed of countless identical arrows.

The divine power at that moment created an illusory gap in reality and pulled the Golden King into an independent space. The rain of indestructible treasures was instantly invalidated, and he could only get lost in the infinite void, while infinite divine arrows crossed and shot down, piercing through the king's spiritual core in a tenth of the time of a finger snap.

——The gap in dimensional level.

After confirming his defeat and impending death, Gilgamesh instantly calmed down from his rage.

It was as if everything had suddenly become clear to him. The confusion in his mind was cleared away and his eyes became brighter.

"That's what happened..."

Gilgamesh's red eyes stared at the goddess in front of him, but in his perception, the other party did not exist here, as if she was just an illusion.

"Did the king fall into your trap from the beginning?"

"Did you get an epiphany because of death?" Ying narrowed her eyes and smiled, "As expected of the King of Heroes."

"An annoying guy."

Gilgamesh stared at her fiercely. "How did you fool me? Looking back, my actions at the port were too reckless. Knowing that the man had a special background, I still did not conduct any proper investigation and was just angry... Was it you?"

"You're wronging me. Everything at the port was undoubtedly your own decision. I didn't mislead anyone. At best, I just added fuel to the fire." Sakura said with a chuckle.

She was not lying. With her ability, she could confuse and dominate most of the Servants, but there were always exceptions, and Gilgamesh was such an exception.

He possesses a stronger ego than any other Heroic Spirit, and his spirit will never be controlled or polluted by others.

However, this does not mean that he does not have weaknesses. No one's spirit is perfect. Gilgamesh's pride, arrogance and irritability are his greatest flaws.

The silver-haired goddess possesses the divinity that controls all desires, and can also induce the weaknesses and darkness in human nature.

She could not capture Gilgamesh's spirit by force, but she could magnify his original character weaknesses, causing him to lose his rationality and judgment.

(But to be honest, Gong Shan is just like that, so it probably doesn't make much difference whether he instigates or not...)

But what good would it do her?

“What a pity.”

The silver-haired girl sighed deeply, "Originally, I thought that as long as that master could get rid of all the Heroic Spirits, the plan could be smoothly carried out without any effort, but in the end, it didn't shake his rationality at all... The Masters and Heroic Spirits who had been provoked were also forcibly suppressed.

If I use more force, I will probably be discovered... It's really scary, that adult, just spying through the endless void, feels like he will be discovered at any time."

"You want to incite the Servants to fight each other...but what's the point?"

The Hero King frowned and said, "They were meant to kill each other. You are just accelerating the process... Could it be that you already knew that unexpected people would join in?"

"It seems you have guessed most of it, but unfortunately, the war is over for you."

The silver-haired young goddess snapped her fingers, and the magic wave rippled and expanded, and the Golden King's spiritual base instantly dissipated into countless light particles.

"Go to hell, Archer."

After executing the King of Heroes with her own hands, Silver-haired Sakura looked up at the mansion, or to be more precise, the balcony.

"Well!"

Cold sweat broke out on Toosaka Tokiomi's forehead, and he stepped back subconsciously, but soon realized that it was meaningless to escape or resist. Thinking of the ancestral teachings of the Toosaka family, he took a deep breath for a moment, and became calm again, as if he had made up his mind.

The silver-haired goddess looked at Tokiomi with eyes that were not murderous, but more casual, as if she was observing weeds on the roadside. As she raised her hand, a wave of magical power distorted the space, causing ripples in the atmosphere.

But just as she was about to do it, a voice sounded in her mind.

"no way……"

Waving her hand to disperse the magic power, she glanced at Tokiomi with boredom, and turned away without any reluctance. After taking a step, her body turned into a shadow and disappeared into the darkness, while the magic barrier surrounding her did not react at all.

It was not simply the disappearance of the aura, but the actual disappearance from space into the world inside the "shadow".

"Is that...imaginary number magic?"

For some reason, Tōsaka Tokiomi had specially learned about this extremely rare fantasy magic. Even though he himself didn't know how to do it, he could barely judge it.

"Could it be Sakura... How is this possible!?"

-

"call!"

When she opened her eyes, a look of relief flashed across her face. The black-haired girl was only six or seven years old, but her expression was as solemn as that of an adult.

"I'm glad I didn't let her do anything wrong."

"Everything going well, Master?"

The blonde Caster asked Matou Sakura, "You don't look too well."

"No problem, Caster."

Sakura shook her head slightly, "It went very smoothly. Archer has been taken care of."

“That Hero King has… But there’s nothing strange about that. After all, no matter how strong he is, he is just a Servant. Facing a monster that goes beyond common sense, he is powerless.

Me too, if I could be stronger, Master wouldn't have to be in such a difficult situation like now, right?"

There was a hint of reluctance in the blond servant's words, but Sakura began to comfort him instead.

"This isn't anyone's fault, Caster. It's all fate... that's all I can think of it."

Strong, beautiful, and lovable, which suits her name so well - Finn couldn't help but think so as he looked at his Master.

Of course, he didn't have any romantic feelings for Sakura.

Unlike most heroes from the West, he has always been extremely loyal to love and quite restrained in his desires. He can be described with words like "honest" and "abstinent"... In his time, he could be said to be non-mainstream.

What's more, Sakura only looks like a little girl... The only one who would be interested in this type of person would be a certain magic swordsman who controls a spiral sword.

He simply thought that such a strong girl was very beautiful.

And...if he could, he wanted to protect the fragile yet beautiful flower, even if it meant a trial beyond his ability.

"Next up are Lancer, Rider, Saber... Assassin seems to be placed last."

"She actually wants to end the Holy Grail War overnight. That goddess is really asking too much."

"She is indeed too anxious. I can feel it... Although she didn't show it, she is very anxious in her heart. It seems that it is because of the future Heroic Spirit."

Ying paused and said firmly, "She's scared! If she wants to succeed, this night is her last chance!"

"It seems like she's in the same situation as us, and she has no choice."

The blond Caster, the protector of Ireland, a great Celtic hero as famous as Cuchulainn and King Arthur - "Finn McCool" smiled slightly and looked up at the towering skyscrapers.

"Let's get started, first up is Lancero Diarmuid... Ha, what a bad fate!"

Chapter 692: The Goddess of the Shadow of Imaginary Numbers

"who are you?"

Jiang Liu frowned as he looked at the little silver-haired girl who blocked their way.

"Matou Sakura... Although they look alike, they are definitely not the same person. This feeling is a bit like being possessed by a god. Do you regard this girl as a possession?"

"Be careful!" Feng's expression was extremely serious. He held the Immortal Sword tightly but did not pull it out.

"This guy...gives me a very bad feeling!"

Jiang Liu had already noticed it without Feng's reminder, and he knew what was in front of him better than her.

The servants of the gods... no, in terms of the nature of their spiritual base, they may be even more troublesome. Although they exist here, their main bodies seem to be nothingness... It is the first time that Jiang Liu has encountered such a strange existence.

In terms of magic reaction, it is actually not that strong, and should be similar to Ishtar, but Jiang Liu intuitively thinks that the silver-haired girl is much more dangerous than that useless goddess.

"As expected, I cannot hide it from your eyes. I was indeed once a god."

The silver-haired Matou Sakura curved her eyes and said with a smile, "But it's not a simple possession. Due to some special reasons, I don't have my own body, so I can only rely on the actions of humans in this world.

Originally this was a very inconvenient restriction, but fortunately I had a good compatibility with this girl.

The attribute of her magic is "void", which is both void and infinite, both material and imaginary. Modern magicians seem to call it "imaginary number", which is something that has possibility but does not exist.

Only this kind of uncertain fantasy can accommodate me, who is also unable to settle down.

However, this kind of possession is different from ordinary divine servants. Rather than saying that I am possessed by her, it is better to say that I have become her shadow."

"No form... So, my lady goddess, what do you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Liu said coldly.
