Or, why don’t you find another savior?

"But this isolation was not without warning. Mooncell sent you here as soon as he observed it." Morgan said, "And after you entered SE.RA.PH, you were plotted against by Beast, right?"

"Um..." BB made a sound that seemed awkward.

Shiomi thought that maybe it was because the superior AI who claimed to be omnipotent couldn't even guard against a Beast that was beginning to transform, so it felt embarrassed.

The roads and walls seemed transparent, but beyond that was the color of the sea.

In addition to this, one can also see places like the Arena, where servants are fighting desperately. Just from their movements, one can tell that they have all lost their minds and turned into wild beasts who only know how to fight and kill.

"Then what about the young girl Saber, whose real name is Suzuka Gozen, who leads Lord Gawain and Lord Tristan?" Altria asked. "She doesn't look like she is simply continuing the Holy Grail War without a Master."

"I remember Suzuka Gozen said, 'We are all companions fighting against others together.' In other words, she is serving someone, and Gawain and Tristan are just assisting her because they are controlled."

Scathach thought back to her previous experiences, unraveling them and finding useful information.

"Master guessed correctly. Suzuka Gozen is different from other servants. Her identity is a 'Guard'." BB said.

"Guardians?" Xijian narrowed his eyes. "Could it be that Beast selected those who were responsible for special tasks from the servants fighting?"

"Yes, in Beast's opinion, SE.RA.PH will become a singularity before it completes assimilation, and then Chaldea will naturally observe its existence. The "Guardians" are a security measure to resist Chaldea." BB said.

Morgan couldn't help but sneer: "It seems that Beast knows Chaldea very well and knows how to respond in advance."

"But why was the Servant chosen Suzuka Gozen and not Lord Gawain or Lord Tristan? They are both more powerful than that girl... or maybe there are better options, right?" asked Altria.

"Of course, because it's the easiest to control. When given the power to act freely, no matter how it acts, it won't hinder Beast's purpose." BB gave the answer, "A Servant that is too strong is more difficult to control, and as a pure combat tool, it is easy to run away."

The implication is that even Gawain and Tristan were thugs selected from the fighting servants.

"They completely treat servants as useful tools..." Shiomi said this and suddenly remembered something else, "Then what is Passionlip? Not only is that servant restrained, but the magic power emanating from him is obviously at the god level?"

However, this time, BB did not continue to answer every question and fell into a brief silence.

"We are almost at the 'lower abdomen' area. This is the only way to get to the control room in the 'chest'." She told everyone, "So if we want to break through here, we must defeat the 'guards' here."

As soon as BB finished speaking, a familiar violent vibration was felt.

Several people stopped immediately. There was a sharp sound like a sharp object rubbing against a blackboard, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

"above!"

Shiomi gave instructions and everyone quickly dispersed.

Passionlip fell to the ground like a meteorite, and its giant claws clenched into fists and hit the ground, creating a violent shock wave.

Even though he retreated in time, he was almost knocked over by the shock wave because he did not stand firmly when retreating.

Just this one strike changed the surrounding environment. The nearly transparent yet extremely solid ground and walls were damaged and then reassembled. In the vast and empty space, those broken building blocks followed a certain self-repairing process and turned into obstacles suspended in space.

"So Passionlip is the guard here." After standing firmly on his feet, Shiomi held Gungnir in his hand.

"Yes, after defeating her, we can go to the control room smoothly..." BB said, his voice hesitant, "If possible, I hope Dad can try to weaken her instead of killing her."

"why?"

With just one look, Shiomi knew clearly that this servant, who clearly exuded an aura of weakness and abuse, was different from a normal servant in terms of danger.

"…Because she is a high-level AI created based on 'BB'…Originally, she should have been relegated to imaginary matters, but now she has been salvaged and bound like this, becoming a 'guard' serving Beast."

Suddenly, BB's tone seemed to be talking about someone else, but with a sense of contradiction that it was about himself.

"You really like to give people difficult tasks." Shiomi looked around to check on the situation of Morgan and the others.

Passionlip seemed to be constantly looking around because of the reason they were scattered, instinctively observing the level of danger of each of the four people.

"No, that's up to Dad..." BB didn't force it for the first time.

Then, Passionlip gritted his teeth, let out a suppressed roar, and rushed towards Shiomi.

As expected, in the end it was decided to attack Shiomi first.

Shiomi responded as he rushed out just before Gungnir and the Claw clashed.

"Then I'll give it a try!"

Chapter 37 Composite Divinity

sense of violation.

After the battle with Passionlip began, Shiomi continued to feel a sense of disharmony.

It's not just because the other party exudes an aura that is different from that of ordinary servants, but also because of the pair of giant claws that are so huge that they make people alert.

It is a treasure.

However, Shiomi was unable to filter out heroes from history and legends who might possess such a treasure.

Not only that, the reason why the pair of claws look so dangerous is not just because of their outstanding size and strength.

"The space... is compressed?"

After several fights, Shiomi found that not only was he unable to cause effective damage without killing Passionlip, but he also always felt his movements were restricted, as if he would be captured in the next second.

"That is Passionlip's inherent ability, id_es, and its characteristic is 'abandonment and collapse'," BB's voice came from the communicator, "It can squeeze any object within sight into a cube and throw it into the imaginary space in its chest."

"You should have said that earlier." Shiomi distanced herself again.

It sounds like a type close to a conceptual Noble Phantasm, and as long as the conditions are met, it will be squeezed.

But the conditions are not as simple as BB said.

Passionlip, whose ability to talk and reason are restricted by the restraint mask, can indeed see Shiomi, but in order to complete the planar physical interference that ignores the law of distance, he needs to stay in a certain position for a certain period of time.

Shiomi guessed from his own physical sensations that accurate capture would take more than 2 seconds, and starting to squeeze without being escaped would probably take 3 seconds.

After this computer space singularity returned to its original level, his speed was already obviously Passionlip, which was more focused on strength, and could not achieve the goal of "capturing".

Moreover, if we attach too much importance to Shiomi as a single target, it means giving up the other three people and facing attacks from various situations.

The reason why they did not immediately shorten the distance and join the melee was because Shiomi wanted to personally test the opponent's ability information.

"Can't get too close? Then come from a distance." Morgan raised her hand, and black magic power condensed in her hand.

Across a distance of more than ten meters, the same sign of magic appeared on Passionlip's chest.

"Well--!"

Passionlip whimpered in surprise and tried to squeeze the ball of magic power into the imaginary space in her chest, but unsurprisingly, she was a beat too late.

As Morgan crushed the condensed magic power, the magic power at his Passionlip also exploded, and he took two steps back in the small but unexpected impact.

"Magic power... estimated to be between C and B..." Scathach raised her hand and wrote a rune.

When magic is performed, there will inevitably be fluctuations in magical power. Passionlip is obviously very sensitive to this and quickly turns her head to look at Scathach.

One hand clenched into a fist and pointed at where Scathach was.

"Huh?" Xijian was also stunned for a moment.

Thinking it was a misjudgment, she failed to squeeze her master, and then the hand suddenly separated from the arm and was launched like a cannonball.

It collides with a magic spell that was completed at the same time but has not yet been launched.

The ground in this area shook and trembled, as if it would collapse at any time.

The hand that was launched flew back from the thick smoke of the explosion and reconnected with the arm without any hindrance.

"Really? This hand is a complete divine weapon... no, it should be said to be a divine treasure." Scathach walked out of the thick smoke.

She dodged in time and was not hurt, but her hair was messed up by the explosion and her clothes were covered in dust.

Scathach dusted herself off and looked at Altria who was engaging in hand-to-hand combat with Passionlip.

The latter's power was slightly overwhelmed by the former, and even if he released his magic power, it was very strenuous.

So Artoria fought and retreated, not really wanting to fight.

Scathach and Altria alternately used close combat to distract Passionlip's attention, creating offensive opportunities for Morgan's magic.

After all, you have to save your life.

"But it's not easy to keep them alive." There was no leniency in Scathach's expression.

At this time, Shiomi also questioned BB: "Are you going to keep hiding it? Passionlip is not an ordinary Servant. Even I can feel the divine reaction within the spirit base."

"To be precise, it's the God Core of the Goddess." BB said, "The child is a composite Servant created by fusing three Goddess Servants using the Mooncell database. His class is Alterego. As for his hands, which serve as weapons, they are made from the ten divine weapons of Durga, one of the goddesses compiled into Passionlip."

"Alterego?!" This was the first time Shiomi had heard of this class.

"To put it simply, it is the result of illegally modifying the spiritual base." BB simply explained, "It is not only the superior AI that can achieve this result."

"Really?" Shiomi tapped the butt of the gun on the ground.

The runes turned into a ball of light, and chains shot out from it and wrapped around Passionlip's upper arm, pulling in the opposite direction of her force.

Scathach and Altria took this opportunity to attack the pair of arms that weighed a ton in total with all their might.

His arms were pushed to the top of Passionlip's head and he fell backwards.

Her body lost balance and fell backwards. The moment it touched the ground, more chains emerged from all around, pulling at her arms and body, restricting Passionlip's ability to move.

Her total weight, far beyond that of a normal servant, is both her advantage and her fatal weakness.

When Morgan used magic to create a range of suppressive gravity, the hands that could have been lifted up to break the chains could no longer be lifted. The masked girl's expression could not be seen, and she made a very painful sound.

"Even if it is disabled, it is not killed yet." Shiomi approached cautiously and asked BB, "What should we do next? Format it and recycle it?"

"That's not necessary."

Morgan spoke before BB could speak.

"It's just that a part of her spiritual foundation is very turbid. It was implanted later in life, and the external manifestation is this mask."

"Can the Fairy Eyes even see the foundation of the spiritual base?" Xijian began to envy.

Morgan rubbed his temple gracefully: "Thanks to you, it can still work."

"what?"

"In short, knowing the root of the disease will make the operation easier. It will be somewhat painful, but help me control her movements—"

Morgan was about to peel off the foreign matter from Passionlip's spiritual base when he heard even louder noises coming from all around and stopped.

Hundreds of hostile attack program monsters gathered here like a pack of wolves and surrounded everyone.

not only that.

A familiar sword also flew over, and Shiomi raised his hand to knock it down.

"We meet again so soon."

Suzuka Gozen and the two Knights of the Round Table appeared again.

Chapter 38: The Great Connection of the Sword of Manjusri Wisdom

"What's going on? This isn't your 'jurisdiction', right?"

Xijian asked back while holding a gun.

"After all, you guys are really breaking the rules. It's okay to have three Servants, but you're the Master and yet you're just as powerful as the Servants." Suzuka Gozen, "So I can only temporarily overstep my authority. After all, she was the one who crossed the line first."

Suzuka Gozen's meaning was very simple. Because Passionlip had interrupted her fight with Shiomi and his group before, she now wanted to come and hinder Passionlip as well.

Even so, in a sense, it would help the other party who is also a "Guardian".

"Since you call yourself a JK, at least act like one." Shiomi raised her gun and pointed it at Suzuka. "We are just at the most critical moment here. How about learning a little and seeing how the atmosphere is?"

"Wow... you're such an old fashioned teacher, where are you from?" Suzuka laughed and complained about Shiomi's choice of words, "Sorry, teacher, I don't have time to pay attention to the mood of you guys."

“Really?” Shiomi knew it was impossible to convince the other party to retreat. “I’ll ask you one last time, why do you want to do this? The Holy Grail War here has been distorted, and SE.RA.PH has already become a singularity.”

"But the Holy Grail War is still going on, and there are still Servants fighting. Once I defeat you, we will almost see the result." Suzuka said something that seemed inexplicable, but had a clear purpose. "At that time, I will kill the other 'Guardians' and get the Holy Grail as the winner. The two knights also have this goal."

"Why would Gawain and Tristan obey you?" Xijian asked again.

"Why? Of course it's the privilege of the 'Guards', otherwise I wouldn't be in this class." Suzuka said proudly.

"Really?" Xi Jian didn't believe it at all and just responded without comment.

When the Beast assimilates this singularity, whether it is a "Guardian" or a Servant, it will eventually be transformed into a valuable magic resource and become an element for the Beast to complete its hatching.

Beast took this measure after noticing that Shiomi and others were approaching the control room to obtain further information.

And unlike Passionlip, Suzuka Gozen is probably——
