The Warrior of Love

Sakura's attribute is "imaginary number" - he knew this.

Whether it is the original character setting of the Fate series or the practical gift outfit that appears in the FGO game, it illustrates this point.

However, he didn't know who the goddess who possessed Sakura was!

Moreover, no matter in the original plot of FZ or the singularity of FZ, there shouldn't be any goddesses appearing!

She claimed to be an "invisible being" and hid in an imaginary space connected by shadows, so even though Jiang Liu observed Sakura's situation, he couldn't find her existence after a quick glance.

Such a strange situation made Jiang Liu extremely vigilant about this variable, and he did not be careless just because the other party was not as strong as him.

"Me? What I want to do is simple, and that is to help you end this Holy Grail War."

"Ok?"

"Whether you believe it or not, I am your admirer."

The silver-haired young goddess clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and looked at Jiang Liu with longing eyes.

“Even the Demon King was defeated by you. Your power, soul, realm… have all transcended the constraints of this world and become a unique existence.

I am just a poor soul wandering in the void, unable to even fix my "self". Unlike you who are free and unrestrained, I can say that I have been bound by a tragic fate since birth.

You are so powerful, it's natural for people to admire you, isn't it? "

"Oh, I see." Jiang Liu nodded, and suddenly clicked his tongue, "Do you think I would believe this nonsense?"

"Then it's all up to you."

Silver-haired Ying smiled and said, "There is no falsehood in my words. I undoubtedly admire your majestic figure, and I also hope to become like you."

"Same as me?" Jiang Liu frowned.

Does it mean being free from any constraints, or does it mean... something else?

"I'm not as great as you say. In fact, I no longer have the strength I had when I defeated Goetia. And it has nothing to do with being "unfettered". It's better to say that I'm bound by many constraints..."

Jiang Liu changed the subject and his face turned cold: "How do you know these things? You shouldn't have appeared in Solomon's Temple, right?"

"That's for the restoration of human order. Of course, such a massive war is..."

"Where are the Demon Pillar and Matou Zouken?"

Jiang Liu looked at the goddess who had the appearance of Sakura, and asked directly without any words or strategies.

"The Demon Pillar has come to this singularity, that immortal Matou has disappeared, and now you are possessed by Sakura. You don't want to tell me that these are all coincidences, do you?

The information about Goetia and me was also obtained from the Demon Pillar, right?"

"It's sharp enough."

The silver-haired goddess smiled helplessly: "Indeed, I was summoned by Matou Zouken a year ago. Well, with his ability, it is naturally impossible to summon a godhood. It was the Demon God Barbatos who fused with him to raise his realm, and then took advantage of the Holy Grail War... But don't worry, my lord, they can no longer become an obstacle to you."

Being controlled in turn... or even killed?

Summoning things that you cannot control will often lead to backlash. Since the Demon Pillar dares to summon gods, it is not surprising that such a development would occur.

But Jiang Liu still has one thing unclear: what is the purpose of this unidentified goddess?

The Demon Pillar is supposed to want to destroy the world or something like that, does she want to do the same?

"Purpose?"

The young goddess was stunned for a moment, then stared at Jiang Liu deeply.

"Maybe, it's because of admiration... and resentment."

"It doesn't matter!"

Jiang Liu took a step forward: "As long as we get rid of you, we won't have to worry about any accidents."

"I am full of murderous intent... However, as we speak, the Holy Grail War should be almost over. When the conditions are met, even you will not be able to stop me."

The smile on the goddess' face did not change, but the void she was connected to continued to expand in a realm that could not be observed by the naked eye, and then one shadow after another was projected into reality.

"Before that, could you please stay here with me for a moment?"

Figures dressed in exotic and gorgeous short robes that looked no different from goddesses gradually appeared. What was surprising was that each of them had the magical fluctuations of a top-level servant.

"My lord, I am weak, please have mercy on me."

"It's not just a clone..."

Jiang Liu looked at the increasing number of young goddesses and suddenly laughed: "Are you so confident that you can stop me?"

While Jiang Liu was confronting the young goddess, Castero Finn and Berserkero Lancelot had already found their own opponents.

Lancero Diarmuid and Sabero Altria will face a fateful battle that has continued from their lifetime to the present!

Chapter 693: The Fateful Battle of Mythology

"Sir Lancelot... do you hate me so much?"

The blonde knight girl stood opposite the dark berserker in the forest outside the castle.

Lancelot has an ability called "Not for One's Own Glory", which allows him to hide his real name. If he does not actively reveal his identity or release his Noble Phantasm, even acquaintances he knew in his lifetime will not be able to tell him apart.

But after Jiang Liu revealed his identity, Artoria, who knew Lancelot very well, would naturally not be confused anymore. She was very sure that the cursed warrior in front of her was the former "Knight of the Lake".

"Roar……"

He let out a suppressed growl, as dangerous and ferocious as a wild beast, but the Berserker did not rush forward immediately. It seemed that the Master's reins (Command Seals) were working, preventing him from giving in to his anger and forcing him to act under the Master's control.

To his Master, Saber and Irisviel are undoubtedly extremely powerful enemies, and Lancelot's chances of winning are extremely slim. However, even if he cannot win, as long as one Servant returns to the Holy Grail, the purpose of this battle will be achieved.

In other words, whether it was Saber or Berserker who died, it was the same to the people behind the scenes.

Of course, Saber didn't know these things. She only knew that Lancelot was now full of hostility and would not only threaten her, but might even hurt Irisviel.

"There is no point in continuing the Holy Grail War, but if this is the only way to calm your anger, then I will not escape this battle. Moreover...even if I no longer pursue the Holy Grail, I am still a Servant, and protecting the Master is my duty!"

Saber glanced at the silver-haired beauty behind her, then looked at Lancelot sternly.

"Even if you are Qing, don't even think about crossing here!"

"Roar……"

The black mist lingering around Lancelot gradually converged and condensed in his hand, eventually revealing a magic sword that seemed to be cut out of the night, flashing a cold light even in the darkness.

"The undamaged lake... It was once so beautiful, and its radiance was enough to rival that of a holy sword, but now it is just a cursed demonic sword."

Saber removed the Wind King barrier, revealing the golden holy sword.

"Come on, Sir Lancelot, and complete the duel that we didn't get to see in our lifetime!"

"ARRRRRR——"

-

"Impossible! This is ridiculous!"

On the rooftop of the building, Kenneth almost collapsed and yelled, "My workshop is the most perfect! Whether it's the barrier, the magic furnace or the familiar, they are all first-class configurations!

No one in the entire Clock Tower can reproduce such a reasonable and powerful ritual! It was destroyed by a single blow... What a joke! Even a Servant can't——"

"Pay attention to your demeanor, Master Lancer."

The blond Caster easily broke through and destroyed Kenneth's magic workshop, forcing Lancer and his servant and Kenneth's fiancée Sora to the rooftop, but there was no smugness on his face, but instead a hint of advice.

"Although we are at the end of our rope, it's better to retain some dignity."

"Dignity... What nonsense are you talking about, you monster!"

Kenneth gritted his teeth, veins on his forehead exposed: "Where on earth are you a hero!?"

"Ok?"

Caster was slightly surprised and glanced at the double-gun user who was protecting the two masters.

"Didn't Diarmuid tell you?"

"what?"

The red-haired Sora asked Diarmuid in surprise: "Lancer, you..."

"Yes, I have a connection with him in my previous life."

Diarmuid nodded bitterly, looking towards Caster with a somewhat evasive and ashamed look.

"This is the glorious leader of the Knights of Fianna—Finn McCool!"

"It's the blond Finn..."

"Isn't he one of the greatest heroes in Celtic mythology... and he has a grudge against you!"

Kenneth did not hide his disgust for Lancer: "Not only is he incapable of protecting the Master, but now he has even brought danger to the Master because of himself. You are really useless as a familiar!"

"What did you say, Kenneth?"

Diarmuid remained silent, but Sora protested instead.

"This is not Lancer's original intention. He didn't want things to develop to this point."

"Are you protecting him, Sora? He's just a Servant, nothing more than a familiar..."

"That's not right!"

A childish voice interrupted Kenneth's angry roar and attracted everyone's attention. It was the young Sakura Matou.

"Servants are not familiars. They are both the sword and shield of the Master. Just as they have entrusted their honor and dignity to us, as Masters we should also respond to this loyalty and place our trust in them completely."

"How shameless! You're just a little kid, what do you know?" Kenneth was obviously unconvinced.

But Diarmuid and Finn both showed expressions of deep agreement, and Finn even laughed out loud.

"As expected of my Master, although young, he is extremely wise."

Sakura Matou behaved calmly and wisely, not like a child at all... This actually has something to do with the possessed goddess.

Just as the Holy Grail grants its servants a lot of knowledge, the goddess also grants her host "wisdom", making Sakura Matou mature and wise beyond her age.

But in terms of the spiritual core, he is still just a child, but his outward appearance is different from that of a child.

It can be understood as "super realistic house game", except that she is not playing the role of Barbie's father and mother, but the Master who controls the Servant.

"Caster, that person has already started to act, we must speed up as well."

Sakura Matou realized that she had no chance of resisting the goddess, so she simply gave orders to Finn.

"Let's get rid of Lancer..."

"As you command, my Master."

Finn took a step forward and raised the wooden staff in his hand - he had just waved it lightly before to invalidate the barrier that Kenneth was so proud of.

But it is worth mentioning that the wooden staff itself does not have any special abilities. In fact, it was just taken from an ordinary mountain pear tree. It carries no mystery and has no corresponding legends.

It's just that in Finn's hands he has the ability to break magic, that's all.

The heroic spirits of the Age of Gods have always been highly resistant to modern magic because they possess an overwhelming "mystery", and Finn is particularly outstanding in this regard.

The world knows Finn as "the leader of the Knights of Fianna" and "a hero who commands many heroes". He and his companions became the prototype of the Knights of the Round Table and the legend of King Arthur.

(Finn is the prototype of Arthur, and Diarmuid is the prototype of Lancelot, so Diarmuid's hard power is not as good as Lancelot, but he restrains him subtly.)

From this perspective, it is easy to define Finn's image as a "knight" and a "warrior".

But in fact, compared to his military strength, Finn is more famous in mythology for his noble and selfless character and superhuman wisdom!

He learned combat skills, magic, and healing from priestesses and druids, and ate the salmon that was the incarnation of Fetan, thus gaining wisdom that no one could match.

It can be said that from the very beginning he was active on the epic stage as a "sage".

Even though he is not a magician from the Age of Gods who specializes in magic, his "wisdom" allows him to skip the accumulation of technology and directly see the basics of magic, so magic is something he can directly "touch".

If you can touch it, you can destroy it!

Although he is a magician (Druid) himself, he can be called a "magician killer".

This ability does not seem to pose a threat to the knights who rely on force to dominate, but Finn is not a pure magician.

"I'm sorry... I can't betray my master again this time!"

The heroic spirit with the twin guns rose up and moved forward, thrusting out the devil-destroying red rose like a dragon!

Finn narrowed his eyes slightly. "Red Rose? It's the nemesis of me (the magician), but it's a pity——"
