"How's it going?"
"I hope everyone is okay."
"What?"
"Uh, slip of the tongue."
Yoshitsune came back to his senses and looked sideways at the man who had appeared out of nowhere, with a slicked-back hair and wearing heavy black armor. After reorganizing his words, he said concisely:
"The Holy Grail group has gone to Spebbia."
"Spepbia? Why would you go there?"
"The devil knows."
"...Forget it. I hope Satahiko and the others don't have bad luck and run into that group of people."
"I hope so..."
Yoshitsune adjusted his glasses, turned off the projected surveillance network, and turned sideways to look at his old friend whom he hadn't seen for a day. His slightly gloomy eyes fell on the other's chest, where a cross-shaped, deep purple crystal was quietly embedded, emitting an ominous luster.
Complete and flawless, without a single crack.
Volume 611 Return to the Underworld, the Day the World is Saved: Chapter Chapter Want to Live a Good Life, Yoshitsune Wears a Green Eye
The core crystal, which was once shattered by another Holy Grail, 'Light', in the Holy Grail War five hundred years ago, is also the key to obstructing their plan to destroy the world.
They want to destroy this crumbling world, but before that, one of them - Zhen and Mie - still has one thing to do:
Climb up the World Tree and talk to the gods.
This is a very lucky world in a sense, because there is indeed a "Creator God" in this world who created the entire underworld from scratch. Therefore, when you have philosophical thoughts like "Why did God create such a world?" and "Why did God create us like this?", which are similar to the meaning of life, you can climb up the world tree and hold this microphone to Klaus' mouth and ask "Mr. Creator God, what was your design concept when you designed XX?"
Then Losulia picked up the sea snake that had been knocked down during the Holy Grail War and created a large hole around the World Tree, as well as an absolute defense network that indiscriminately attacked anyone approaching the World Tree. After all, they were servants (devices) of the Holy Grail of Heaven, and attacking the people of the Netherworld was like a fifty-meter tall man attacking a medieval man. It was a dimensionality reduction attack, and they had no power to fight back at all.
If Mie was still in his complete form five hundred years ago, he would certainly be no match for this sea snake that he had defeated once. He could easily defeat it head-on. Unfortunately, he couldn't do that, after all, he had been beaten into a second-class cripple by Guang.
So in the original plan, they needed to rely on Guangyan's complete core crystal to repair Mie's core crystal, and bring the Three Holy Hymn Chains along the way. This way, while destroying the other Holy Grail of Heaven, they could also break through the sea serpent's defense without any damage. It was simply perfect.
The plan was good, but the fighting power of the Heavenly Holy Grail was a little exaggerated, including the Heavenly Holy Grail, the Cannibals, the inexplicable robots, Kasumi, the stolen Kamui, and that man... Saki. It was not that Blade Masters were so difficult to deal with, but after becoming a Blade Master of the Cannibals and losing the suppression of the Blade like Kamui, that man would only become more difficult to deal with.
After much thought, the only way to have a chance of success is to ambush them in Losulia, a place they must pass through, and launch a really high-speed sneak attack.
As a result, before they could complete their preparations, he was killed on his own.
The core crystal, which had not healed for five hundred years, repaired itself just as they were implementing their plan.

"So what happened to cause this change?"
Yoshitsune pushed his glasses again. He did not like this kind of sudden situation. He preferred the feeling of having all the situations under his control. This could be seen from the ability he gained, or awakened, after becoming a cannibal.
Be it Saki's unprecedented self-mutilation method of absorbing ether energy from weapons, or the sudden repair of the core crystal now, they were all unpredictable emergencies for him. The large number of unknown factors made him, who claimed to be a wise general, quite annoyed.
However, this question with a hint of complaint was ultimately useless. Mie spread his hands and said indifferently:
"Who knows~ Maybe the old man couldn't bear to see me going to find my partner (Light) to die, so he helped me heal."
"God?"
Yoshitsune crossed his arms, held his glasses with one hand, and spoke to himself:
"But why now..."
"Who knows? It's just a spur of the moment thing. The old man has been partial to me for a long time."
Mie also crossed his arms, looking at the white sea of clouds at the entrance of the dock. There was no ripple in his eyes, and he didn't know whether he felt the same way as he said in his mouth, he didn't care.
God is biased, this is his inherent understanding, because his partner - Light, who is also the Holy Grail of Heaven, possesses unimaginable and overwhelming power. After the opponent burst out with such power, he was easily defeated without even the slightest ability to fight back.
Those who are flooded will die of floods, and those who are drought-stricken will die of drought. The power that he had been looking for so long, enough to destroy the underworld, was held in Guang's hands. Instead, it scared her so much that she created a puppet to block herself outside and escape reality. She even had the absurd idea of returning to the world tree that gave birth to them and destroying herself to put an end to it all... How ridiculous!
Jealous? There is nothing to be jealous of. After five hundred years, he no longer knows what jealousy is. Instead, he thinks that this difference is natural - he wants to destroy the world created by his father (God), while his partner (Light) wants to protect this world. If he were in the position of an unfilial son or a filial daughter, he would also favor the latter. This is also human nature.
But sorry, helping Shin destroy this underworld is part of the Holy Grail called 'Destruction'. Although he feels sorry for the old man and his partner, he likes himself now and doesn't want to change, but...
When receiving the data repair core that was inexplicably transmitted into the core, he saw many interesting things in it, and there was one thing that made him feel very concerned.
A strange humanoid 'creature' whose entire body looks like golden glazed jelly... and a deep-rooted fear.
Who is afraid?
The superior authority of their Heavenly Holy Grail could only be God, which meant...it was God who was afraid? What was he afraid of?
He didn't know that after reading this layer of emotion from the information center flowing into the core, the inexplicable connection was unilaterally cut off, leaving him feeling empty inside, as if he had watched his old father being kidnapped and imprisoned by an unreasonable rich lady, and the intact core crystal in his chest was the last gift he left behind...
Or rather, relics.
"...Anyway, once we meet the old man, we'll know what happened."
"Hmm? What happened?"
"Nothing... Get ready to get your partner's treasure. It will probably be a tough battle."
Mie spread his hands, without saying who he would fight or how he would fight, and just turned away without saying anything. Yoshitsune shook his head helplessly, re-activated the surveillance network, and looked at a familiar ether reaction, muttering:
"God's might..."
For a moment, the black-haired boy with glasses seemed to have a lush green color on his head. Then he began to talk to himself:
"Speaking of which, why hasn't Arcadia responded?"
Didn't they notice it? The Holy Grail of Heaven and the Saint of your church swaggered all the way from Gula to Spebbia without anyone noticing? No way, no way, no way? The Holy See can't be so incompetent, right?
Recalling the scene of losing response several times and capturing it again after capturing the etheric reaction of this group of people again, Yoshitsune touched his chin and understood something.
He seemed to know what to do now.
Volume 612: Return to the Netherworld, the Day the World is Saved: Chapter Chapter The Teacher Flies!
Now let's turn our attention back to Spebia.
If we say that when the students saw this red clay giant from a distance, their first reaction was "big", "very big", "really fucking big!"
Then, after getting closer, this idea is reinforced once again.
This is really big!
When viewed from a distance, such a human-shaped Arus that walks upright on two feet can easily lead people to a misunderstanding, that is, there is not much living area on this thing - otherwise it cannot explain why there is a completely man-made palace area extending from the left shoulder, which is obviously caused by insufficient land area.
The head doesn't look habitable. At first glance, the only habitable space is the shoulders, which is nowhere near as large as Gula's - that's what the students thought. People in the know, such as Mellove, just smiled and said nothing.
Then, a group of students understood how naive they really were.
The Gura to them is not what humans are to dwarves as imagined. They are not 'dwarves', but... tiny things on the level of mites.
The 'folds' of rock that looked like skin texture were like a cliff in front of them. Between the two rock walls with different degrees of protrusion, there was a huge and jaw-dropping wasteland. At this altitude, the temperature had dropped to forty or fifty degrees, but the scorching hot wind still swept over, stirring up a patch of yellow sand and causing dry coughs.
These are the second, third and fourth impressions.
Desolation and heat - these were what I had expected before coming here, but the flying sand and rocks were something I had never expected.
The humidity, heat, and sand on their faces made all the students frown and cough repeatedly. Taiyi and others looked as if they had lost all hope in life.
They were now wandering aimlessly in the great desert of Shaba Continent. They had originally been hoping to come to a different world for vacation, but before they had even had two days' play, they were thrown into an environment even more uncomfortable than the great desert.
They are now fully qualified to speak out, which is more uncomfortable, pure hot high-temperature baking or medium-high temperature stewing -
They are all so uncomfortable! They prefer places like Gula, where it is clearly late September but feels like early spring.
Seeing a group of people in such pain, Saki, whose eyes were glowing with blue the whole time, sighed and felt a little melancholy.
“Don’t you know how to use what you learn?”
"what!"
"Yes, yes, spiritual power, spiritual power..."
"Wrap the whole body... No, just wrap the head, right?"
"But it hurts when the sand hits you..."
"Then wrap it all up."
"Hey! Stop pushing people!"
"Sorry sorry~"
Looking at the students who were talking to each other in a buzzing manner and holding up spiritual power shields of various shapes in various postures, Saki raised his hand to look at the layer of green light covering his and Nia's arms, and sighed again.
No, the standard answer is right here, so why can you still come up with so many weird things?
At this moment, Saki truly felt the pain in the hearts of the teachers whose work was involved in marking papers. The marked answers were just a few words, but the students managed to come up with dozens of different ideas.
It's like asking who the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty was. The answer can't be compared to Emperor Gaozong of Tang writing about every person with the surname Tang throughout the past five thousand years and creating a few original ones - although it's not as cerebral hemorrhage as this, it will be here soon at this rate.
To put it bluntly, they still haven't adapted to the change from ordinary people to people who barely step into the realm of super powers. Moreover, compared to Saki, who only had spiritual power available at the beginning, they have too many choices and it's easy for them to get confused by the difficulty of making choices.
Well, more practice is needed. It would be best if you can form a conditioned reflex to directly perform an escape combo when encountering certain situations. I don't know when this stage can be reached in Chiron's teaching plan.
Saki shook his head. Since the students have already adapted to the environment of Spebbia, he can move on to the next stage...
"Red, Chiron, Blue Dragon, I have something to tell you."
"Ok?"
The two men and one dragon looked confused, but still followed Saki to the side. The light shield formed by the soundproofing technique enveloped the few people, leaving the rest of the people puzzled. Although they were curious about what matter required them to specifically find Qinglong, they could only wait for their communication to end.
So, they watched helplessly as Saki led Nia, who didn't open her mouth at all, and talked to her. Qinglong was shocked, while the other two teachers nodded in agreement. And then...
The figures of Saki and Nia suddenly blurred in the eyes of Melev and the others, and turned into two shadows as if separated by frosted glass, and something like wings unfolded behind them, and then the two shadows overlapped and merged into one, jumping out from the edge of the suspended dock, riding the hot wind and soaring into the sky. In the blink of an eye, the height of the two exceeded Spebia's head, and rose hundreds of meters to become a tiny dot that was difficult to see with the naked eye, and disappeared after a ring of air opened.
"...?"
“( ̄△ ̄;)Huh?”
"Σ(っ°Д °;)っeheheheheheh????"
"Wait?! Why did the teacher run away? Where is he going?"
The students from the other world who came with the group realized it later. They only came to their senses when they saw Sakixinia disappear into the blue sky. They were all stunned.
They were confused, and Lex and other students from the Netherworld were even more confused.
"What's the matter? But it looks like... you want to cross the sea of clouds?"
"Crossing the sea of clouds like that? Didn't they say the side effects of the floating wings haven't been fixed... so they brought Nia with them?!"
They looked at each other, and were curious about what made Saki do this despite having his body burned by the floating wings. When they saw Hong Yanma and the others coming back, they were about to ask questions, but they heard Hong Yanma explain first:
"Acting Chief has something to do. If nothing goes wrong, he will reunite with us in the island group~"
"The island group...is the second stop in the original plan, right?"
"Yes, it's Lex's hometown."
After Red Yama finished speaking, Chiron coughed lightly to attract attention and smiled gently:
"So, let's finish what we need to do here before the acting principal comes back... Lady Mellove, can you tell us in detail?"
"Hmm? Ah... um..."
Melve lowered her head and looked at the young men and women in front of her who quickly calmed down after receiving the two answers of "I have something to do" and "We'll meet up later". Even though she had seen all kinds of big scenes, her expression became quite complicated for a moment.
No, is there no one who can explain to her why such a healthy person suddenly disappeared?
Can humans actually fly? Or even fly at supersonic speed? Why do you just take it for granted?!
"Anyway...let me find a place for you to stay first, and then we can make a long-term plan."
It's so sad. She has to stay elegant even though she has so many problems...
Volume 613: Return to the Netherworld, the Day of Saving the World: Chapter , Chapter : I want to kill McPenny!
The sea of clouds is rushing beneath me, yet it seems motionless. The ever-changing scenery gives people a sense of loss of direction, as if they are standing still.
If Saki had not asked Tiger for a copy of the cloud sea compass data and imported it into the tactical eyepiece, he would never have done such a stupid thing that could result in him being trapped in the cloud sea and dying if he wasn't careful.
After all...the underworld is still too small. It is equivalent to randomly picking a point in the center of the South Pacific to look for a few islands within a radius of several thousand kilometers. There are no satellites in this world. If there is no guidance, you will easily rush through the circular orbit of the super-large Arus and head straight for the vast sea of clouds.
——You won't die, after all, there is a coordinate as big as the World Tree there. At worst, flying to the World Tree and waiting for someone to arrive is one way. Hiding in a different space and waiting for the teleportation back to school is another way. This has more than a million words, with a lot of means and methods. No matter what, it won't be a miserable death like getting lost and dying.
