The Warrior of Love

Feng looked at Jiang Liu suspiciously: "What's the matter with this name?"

Jiang Liu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what was going on.

"Because he is a "senpai", he is a senior."

Goddess Sakura said in an ambiguous way: "According to the culture of this country, people who are on the same path but have more experience than you are your seniors, right?

That's easy. Senior Toyama defeated the Demon King Goetia and became the existence I admire. I also want to be like him, so isn't he my senior? "

"Like me...I see."

Jiang Liu took a look at the transformed Holy Grail, integrated the information in his mind, and vaguely understood something.

"Do you also want to get "evolution"? "

"As expected, Senior can understand!"

Goddess Sakura said in surprise: "Soon I will be able to become a fellow countryman of my predecessor! That's right, as long as I absorb this Holy Grail - "All the Evil in This World", I will become like my predecessor... No, I will be an existence that surpasses my predecessor!"

The childish voice echoed in the big cave. Those who understood its meaning showed horror expressions, but Jiang Liu alone did not waver.

"All the evil in this world" is a concept that originates from dualism.

In the Zoroastrian tradition, the world is divided into two opposing sides: good and evil. The good side is the gods and humans, while the evil side is the demons.

The evil god Angra Mainyu is the original demon and the greatest enemy of the gods. He is stronger than the gods themselves, but he cannot defeat the gods who have the help of humans.

In a sense, all evil comes from Angra Mainyu, so he is "all the evil in the world"!

During the Third Holy Grail War, Einzbern summoned a Servant named "Angora Mainyu". Although it was just a "fake" with poor combat power, it undoubtedly had the concept of "all the evil in this world".

When he was absorbed by the Greater Holy Grail, the miraculous cup that could grant wishes had become a cauldron of curse...

Goddess Sakura actually wants to swallow the curse and evolve herself!

Although Irisviel and the others did not know what a "beast" was, it did not prevent them from understanding how terrifying an existence that rivaled the evil of the world was.

By the way, this little girl has to evolve before she can be comparable to Jiang Liu?

Saber and others couldn't help but look at Jiang Liu: What kind of monster is this?

Will all future Heroic Spirits be this strong? !

"It's not that easy."

Jiang Liu said with a half-smile: "Simply accumulating energy or curses, no matter how huge the scale is, cannot reach that realm unless you have some kind of "qualification"."

"Hehe, Senior, I——"

"I know. Since you have the information provided by the Demon Pillar and know about the burning of human principles, and you dare to stand in front of me so majestically, you must be fearless... Your divinity should be very suitable for this path, right?"

"As expected of a senior!"

Goddess Sakura smiled and then lowered her head: "Let me introduce myself. My name is [Kama], the god of love who controls lust. And I am also "Mara" - the demon king who is opposed to goodness! "

Figures flashed, and a blond knight appeared on the platform, escorting his young master. On the other side, a pale, thin, handsome man with purple hair walked up.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's start our Holy Grail War, Senior?!"

Chapter 696: Kama and Mara

Kama, also known as Kamodeva, is the god of love in Indian mythology.

Legend has it that it has a bow made of sugarcane and arrows decorated with flowers, which can awaken the lust of those shot.

He seems to be the same god as Cupid in Greek mythology, but he has another name - Maro.

In Buddhist stories, when Shakyamuni attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, Mara tried to obstruct him in every way. Thousands of temptations and countless disasters failed to shake Shakyamuni, but instead became a proof of Shakyamuni's determination.

Later, Mara was considered to be a synonym for "temptation" and "desire". He was in charge of the sixth heaven of the six desire heavens (the Heaven of Great Enjoyment), and was also called "the Sixth Heaven Demon King O Mara".

Kama itself is positioned as a "good" being in Indian mythology, while Mara is undoubtedly evil. They can be regarded as a combination of good and evil.

If we look at it this way, Kama and Padmasana are contradictory existences that are consistent with dualism, and if Padmasana (all worldly desires) is taken as the point of contact, it can indeed correspond to Angra Mainyu (all worldly evil).

Desire and sin are mutually dependent existences, and Mara is considered to be the embodiment of evil, commanding all demons and possessing a divinity similar to that of Angra Mainyu.

If Kama succeeds in integrating the "evil of this world", he will transform into a being that gathers all the karma, occupying one end of the opposition between good and evil, and will be fully qualified to become a "Beast".

It's no wonder that this guy is so confident in front of Jiang Liu. After all, Jiang Liu is now subject to the "Ten Constraints" and his strength is greatly weakened. He is far inferior to the normal "Beast" and can be regarded as a cub at most.

Jiang Liu couldn't just unseal it casually (then the seal would be meaningless), after all, it might destroy the singularity...

Although his current strength is still greater than that of major gods like Quetzalcoatl, there is no qualitative difference, and it is almost impossible for him to defeat a mature "Beast".

Then just don't let Kama develop!

Jiang Liu soon realized the real point of this battle, which was to prevent Kama from becoming a complete "beast". Otherwise, even if Jiang Liu finally showed all his strength and defeated her, this singularity would inevitably...

Now, the only problem is-

"Wait, isn't Morro a man?!"

Feng was shocked and said, "How did you..."

After all, his ancestral craft is carving Buddha statues, and Feng is very familiar with some religious allusions, so he had this doubt.

"Male? Female? Haha... maybe there was such a period in the past, but now I am a being without a body and without a gender."

Kama laughed: "It's just that it's possessed by Sakura, so it has the posture you see now."

Feng and others couldn't help but look at Sakura Matou who was standing aside, only to see that the girl had a blank expression on her face, as if she didn't care about what was happening in front of her.

"Caster, do you understand what to do?" Kama looked at Finn.

The blond knight's expression froze, but he couldn't resist his actual Master, so he took a step forward.

"Rider, I am Finn McCool, and under the name of 'Finn the Blond', I challenge the great King of Conquerors!"

When these words came out, even Saber couldn't help but widen her eyes.

I saw Diarmuid before, and now Finn... I didn't expect to summon two heroes with such a special relationship.

Considering that they are the prototypes of Saber and Lancelot respectively, this Holy Grail War is truly amazing!

"Huh?"

Rider grinned. "Although he's a magician, he's quite imposing! Finn McCool...what a well-known name. He's qualified to be my opponent!"

At the same time, the purple-haired man standing on the other side of Kama also walked out, first glanced at Jiang Liu, and then stopped his gaze on Saber.

"Your opponent is me, the Knight King."

"Human? Apparently not."

Altria immediately stood in front of the Master and said, "Tell me your name, heretic!"

"Makiri Zorgen (Matou Zouken)."

The man looked to be no more than 20 or 30 years old, and had an outstanding appearance, but his pale skin like a vampire made him look a little haggard, and he exuded a faint inhuman aura, which made the intuitive female knight particularly alert.

"Of course, you can also call me——"Barbatos"!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Matou Zouken took a step forward, and his body fell down uncontrollably. His handsome appearance was instantly shattered, and bloated flesh rolled out of his body, expanding into a huge meat mountain tens of meters high in just a few seconds.

Then the surface of the meat mountain surged, and cracks appeared on the bulges, revealing scarlet eyeballs. They seemed to have independent consciousness and were rotating in different directions.

But at a certain moment, these eyes stopped and stared at the Knight King.

"For Lord Kama's great cause, I, Barbatos, will sacrifice everything I have!"

"What an ugly monster!"

The Knight King held the holy sword tightly, gripping the hilt with magic power overflowing from his body. He had activated the dragon factor to the maximum and was ready to strike the monster with a life-saving holy sword at any time.

The Demon Pillar Barbatos!

Just as Jiang Liu thought, the white demon escaped to this world and possessed Zouken Matou, continuing to prepare for the Holy Grail War.

Then, on the eve of the Fourth World War, he cheated and summoned Kama of the "Archer" class in advance for his own purposes, and connected that god with Sakura, who has the "imaginary number" attribute.

Originally he just wanted to use Kama to defeat other servants and ensure his own victory, but somehow Kama dominated Barbatos and turned him into his slave.

Kama's ambition also started from here... Barbatos or Matou Zouken was involved in the creation of the Holy Grail system. No one knew the Greater Holy Grail better than him, and Kama inherited this knowledge perfectly.

By the way, she also learned about everything that happened in Solomon's Temple and knew about Jiang Liu's existence.

"Beast", "beast", "Demon King"... These words inspired Kama greatly, and thus the current scene came into being.

By the way, she had already changed her job to [Avenger], leaving the regular "Archer" job vacant, so the Holy Grail War would still be the regular seven knights.

"Barbatos, although you survived, you were very unlucky."

Jiang Liu's eyes turned cold, and as soon as he drew out the Immortal Slash, waves of magical ripples appeared in the surrounding space.

The shadows of Kama, who looked no different from the little silver-haired girl, surrounded Jiang Liu, but did not start attacking immediately. Instead, they stopped on their own initiative, as if waiting for Jiang Liu's reaction.

"I'm sorry, Senior, I can't let you disrupt their duel."

The Kamas around suddenly pulled up their crossbows, and Kama on the platform also summoned a short bow with a heart-shaped pattern.

"Let me help you pass the time."

Chapter 697: Shameful Kama

hum!

Rainbow light shot down from the sky and spread out like exploding fireworks, but each trajectory was heading towards the river.

That was the arrow of the god of love, which was supposed to stimulate people's lust and promote the budding of love, but at this moment it abandoned its gentle side and turned into a rainbow light that destroyed the flesh with pure destructive power.

Jiang Liu could clearly sense the trajectory of each arrow, and he also knew that the power of these light beams was comparable to that of A-level anti-military equipment. Dozens of them falling together were far more powerful than the strongest holy sword.

But he did not dodge. If he allowed these arrows to release all their energy, the entire void would be submerged, and everyone except him would be evaporated by the huge heat!

“I hereby declare that no arrow in this world can hit me, and no one can escape my hunting!”

Condensed magic power was released from the blade, and sword pressures like sharp spears were fired out in an arc shape. It seemed aimless, but it seemed to have life, intercepting the arrows in the air with incredible precision.

boom! boom! boom!

The scorching red lotus blossomed in an instant, and the terrifying magic storm was enough to burn the top servants to ashes, but Jiang Liu did not wait for it to spread and sweep the entire field. He completed the second cycle of magic power between breaths, and the sword pressure with even greater momentum swept across the atmosphere, rolling the red lotus fire back in the direction of Kama.

"Tsk!"

The silver-haired goddess narrowed her eyes and summoned layer upon layer of magic array with a wave of her hand. Gorgeous patterns were nested in each other, and symbols of gods and demons floated among them. At a glance, there was no telling how many magic arrays overlapped.

The extremely complex array pattern, just like the legendary mandala, evolves the divine power of the heavens.

When the red lotus fire encountered this barrier, it seemed to instantly leak into the void and soon disappeared into thin air.

"It seems that you, Senior, are also a little bit constrained. It happens that I am the same."

Kama glanced at Sakura inadvertently, then turned and said with a smile: "Then let's change to a more comfortable battlefield."

In a trance, some kind of alien existence spread in the space. Although it could not be observed with the naked eye, it gradually covered the entire reality like mercury.

"Feng, be careful."

Regardless of whether the red-haired female ninja agreed or not, Jiang Liu pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her. At the same time, a protective power far more powerful than usual descended on Feng with the blending of body fluids.

"Uh, hey!"

After they separated, Feng was obviously a little annoyed, and Jiang Liu smiled apologetically, but then he took a step outside and looked at Kama.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, the figures of the two disappeared at the same time, and the "mercury" covering reality also suddenly shrank and disappeared into the void.

Jiang Liu opened his eyes again and found himself in a boundless dark world. Purple lotus flowers were floating in the space, bringing the only light to this world.

At a certain moment, a blue-purple flame ignited, and Kama's body emerged from it, smiling at Jiang Liu.

"An inherent barrier? Or a real small world?" Jiang Liu looked around. Although he had taken the initiative to step into the enemy's territory, he was not panicked.

"It doesn't look like a simple mental landscape."

"That's right, this is not an inherent barrier, but an immature "me". "

Kama smiled and said, "You are in my body now, Senior?!"

"in vivo?"

Jiang Liu thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Void... Is this what you mean by 'not having a form of its own'?"
