Zongman: Evolution Paradise

He said softly, "Don't even think about defeating Jolyne and backstabbing me, because you simply can't beat him."

The skill [Ogre Dog] flashed through Scáthach's eyes. Because Jolyne herself was anti-prophetic, it was very difficult to predict his or those around him. Scáthach chose to predict the future of herself and Gilgamesh, who were her opponents. As for the future of her side, most of the endings that Scáthach observed ended in death.

But isn't that exactly what she wanted?

Behind her calm, watery eyes lay a burning fighting spirit; this future had completely excited Scáthach.

So much so that she completely forgot that she had initially intended to witness Gilgamesh's arrow.

Because they didn't know what Command Seals the players had added to Gilgamesh and Scáthach, Jolyne and Yukino Yukinoshita hadn't decided on their battle combination yet, and were just waiting to test the waters to see the specific situation.

However, there's no need to test the waters anymore. As the [Time Zero] domain spreads, the first to make a move is Shining.

"What an interesting power."

[Gate of Babylon] appeared around them, and hundreds of Noble Phantasms were aimed at Medusa and Esdeath.

From Gilgamesh's perspective, after the domain called [Time Zero] expanded, everyone in the space was thrown into a state of stagnation. Esdeath's initial ice attack, Medea's shadow spreading into the space, and Medusa's snake kiss from behind...

Everything was so slow, so slow that Niang Shanshan had some frivolous thoughts again.

Then she saw Scáthach break free from her own time and turn to look at her with incredible speed.

"..."

Shining understood the bewilderment Hassan felt when he confidently activated [Setsuna] only to find that Scáthach could keep up.

From the user's perspective, everything in the [Time Zero] realm is slowing down. In reality, the flow of time is fixed; only the user's thoughts and body are constantly speeding up, which creates the illusion that others are slowing down.

Jolyne and Yukino Yukinoshita felt as if they had just witnessed Kaguya Shinomiya unleash her Command Seals, and the next moment, Gilgamesh's [Gate of Babylon] had already completed a focused attack.

With the [Lock-on] buff, the Magic Breaker and Blood Devourer inflicted great damage on Medusa. Esdeath, on the other hand, suffered little damage due to her [Noble Chariot] physical damage reduction and her Berserker status.

However, Medusa is now in the state of the Judge of Gorgon, who in a sense is also a terrifying demon god with immortality.

Medusa's inherent skill, Self-Healing, was activated, and her injuries began to heal.

Because Gilgamesh was moving too fast, Jolyne couldn't observe Gilgamesh's specific situation, but could only confirm that it was some kind of time-accelerating skill.

Upon discovering this, Jolyne brought Medea to his side and sent her to the workshop.

Medea, as a Caster, is still too weak against Gilgamesh and Scáthach. If she is given even a little "protection," it will be difficult for other Servants to come to her aid given her incredible speed. It would be better to send Medea back to the workshop and bring her out again when needed.

Kaguya Shinomiya, Jolyne, and Scáthach had all tacitly agreed not to attack each other's Masters. Seeing Scáthach walking towards them, Yukino Yukinoshita also took out a scabbard from her body and handed it to Saber.

Chapter 261, Fourth Command Seal

"Saber, I'm leaving you with this."

Yukino Yukinoshita said softly, and Saber nodded slightly. The radiance of the Sword of Victory and Oath had already broken through this space.

"King Arthur with his sword in a scabbard?"

Scáthach picked up her magic spear, showing great interest in this opponent.

After all, according to legend, King Arthur would not bleed or die as long as he held the sword sheath. When the barrier of Avalon was activated, even the power of magic could not affect the ideal world far away in another world.

Scáthach glanced at Esdeath and Medusa on the other side of the battlefield, a faint smile appearing on her lips, and said softly, "In that case, I'll fight you first."

As soon as the words were spoken, Saber and Scáthach charged towards each other.

Before Saber even reached the midpoint, having only taken two steps forward, Scáthach's [Piercing Death Spear] arrived before her with terrifying power.

"So fast!"

Saber's pupils contracted slightly. Her [Intuition], which allowed her to anticipate danger, made her instinctively raise the Sword of Victory and Oath to her side to block. Magic and energy collided, producing a hoarse explosion.

"Not bad reaction time, as expected of King Arthur."

Scáthach praised her, saying that her class was the most suitable for her as a Lancer, and compared to the high mobility of the Rider class, her burst speed was even more exaggerated.

"By the way, can the Sword of Victory and Oath truly be considered the Holy Sword of Stars? Can you remove the thirteen restraints on it so I can witness its power?"

Scáthach's voice didn't stop; she really wanted to experience it for herself.

Saber didn't reply because the pressure Scáthach exerted on her was too great.

In the original storyline, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Saber was able to get injured even when fighting Lancer Diarmuid.

Although that was the result of not having a scabbard and not being familiar with her opponent's Noble Phantasm, her opponent has now changed from Diarmuid to Scáthach.

Sword and spear clashed repeatedly, and after only a few rounds, Saber was clearly at a disadvantage.

After all, she is the Queen of the Land of Shadows!

Even without using [Omen of the Dogs], Scáthach's spear skills upon reaching Asgard are beyond what the still-inexperienced Saber can withstand.

As the Master, Yukino Yukinoshita's three Command Seals have been completely exhausted. Apart from providing magical energy, she has no better option at this moment and can only watch Scáthach and Saber continue their battles.

"Let's stabilize Scáthach first and wait for Esdeath and Medusa to gain the advantage."

Saber gathered all her thoughts and simply brandished the Sword of Victory and Oath.

So what if she lost? Jolyne's task for her was merely to hold off Scáthach.

Just like when fighting Shirou Emiya, her task was to hold off Lancelot and Gilles de Rais, thus creating an environment for Medusa to deal damage on the front lines.

Meanwhile, on Jolyne's side...

With the speed of [Time Zero], Gilgamesh had completely outmaneuvered Medusa and Esdeath. At a speed of up to 50 times, before the counterattack could even arrive, Gilgamesh had already changed positions. The ample time allowed her to calmly observe the approaching cold air even when facing Esdeath's massive cold wave, and then take another step back.

The reason why the battle situation is still uncertain is that Niang Shanshan's attack power is still a bit insufficient. At present, she is only making probing attacks, just like a military demonstration before the two armies face off. Niang Shanshan has not yet used her [Chains of Heaven] and [Ea].

The reason it was a test was, of course, because Esdeath also did not activate [Mahapadma].

Before this time stop was released, Gilgamesh was unwilling to get close to Esdeath, nor did she dare to draw too much magic power at once, always maintaining a state where she had three-tenths of her power left.

"Jolyne, it seems you're the one who's been talking big now," Kaguya Shinomiya said provocatively.

Although she said that, Kaguya Shinomiya was already on high alert, and she hadn't forgotten the information Steve Rogers had given her.

No matter how fast Gilgamesh accelerated time, he could never reach the point of stopping time.

Unless she can be fast enough to prevent Esdeath from even having a chance to use Time Stop, but Esdeath is the toughest Berserker class, making it virtually impossible to kill her quickly.

Jolyne shrugged indifferently and looked at the Command Seal drawn on the back of her hand.

"At this point, we have to mention the importance of having Command Seals. It's just a matter of accelerating time. Although I don't have a similar method, I can easily slow down Gilgamesh."

With the addition of the two Command Seals obtained from Sugo Nobuyuki, Jolyne has a total of five Command Seals.

The first strike was used for the skill - Black Flash, which shattered Steve Rogers' shield with sheer violence.

The second stroke is used for the skill - materialized split, and both Lily and Medusa, who broke through Shirou Emiya's bounded field, proved their value.

The third stroke is used to equip the Yinluo Spirit Mansion, which is used to resist Esdeath's time stop and to forge the Reality Marble - Spirit Mansion to counter Shirou Emiya's Reality Marble.

Jolyne refrained from making any rash moves with her final two Command Seals, precisely to prevent encountering certain enemies against whom she had no way to counter them.

When Gilgamesh was granted [Time Zero], time around him began to accelerate, and Jolyne immediately found a solution.

That is to let Medusa see Gilgamesh!

The power of [Time Zero] grants Gilgamesh a 50-fold speed boost, and due to the effect -lv5-speed boost, this divine speed continues to increase.

When a video is fast-forwarded to 32x speed, you can barely see anything, let alone Gilgamesh, the Heroic Spirit, at speeds exceeding 50x.

[Kubler]'s petrifying power was now flowing through Medusa's eyes, and the mere sight of Gilgamesh's body could instantly slow her down.

"I will use a Command Spell to unseal one of my items - Nakime's One Eye."

Item - Nakime's One Eye

Description: Perhaps because her hair was too long and covered her eyes, Nakime always had unwavering faith in her own judgment.

Effect: Expands the field of vision according to the user's intelligence attribute, with a maximum range not exceeding the size of Japan.

Usage requirements: Intelligence 15

When Jolyne handed this pupil-shaped object to Medusa, the Eye of Madness's field of vision continued to expand until it covered the entire space.

Then, Gilgamesh stopped.

So what if time accelerated? [Kubler's] power forcibly petrified her body, making Gilgamesh look like the Flash whose entire body was bound by fluid.

Chapter 262 Nakime's One Eye

When Medusa took [Nakome's One Eye] and magnified her vision to lock onto all locations in this space, Gilgamesh's speed, no matter how fast, could only come to a standstill.

"caught you."

Medusa stared at Gilgamesh, the power of [Kübler] silencing the cells in Gilgamesh's body.

"Petrifying Demon Eye, when did you see me?"

Gilgamesh felt her thoughts were about to stop. While Shirou Emiya could break free from the shackles of [Kübler] with infinite magic power, Gilgamesh could not do it at all.

The reason for this is the limitation of magic.

Her Master, Kaguya Shinomiya, is only a level 3, and the magical power she can provide is already at its maximum for Gilgamesh to fight.

One second they were talking to Jolyne, and the next second the battle turned around.

Kaguya Shinomiya witnessed everything, and while shocked, she also wondered what had happened!

"A guaranteed hit skill similar to [Lock-on]? A one-time binding item? Or perhaps a frozen space..."

The abilities in Paradise are too numerous and complex. At this moment, Gilgamesh is petrified and can no longer transmit his own information. What can Kaguya Shinomiya see with just her naked eyes?

Just as Jolyne didn't know the effect of Kaguya Shinomiya's Command Seals, neither Kaguya Shinomiya nor Gilgamesh knew what Jolyne had done with those Command Seals.

In the orthodox Holy Grail War of the Fate world, the true names of Servants and the effects of their Noble Phantasms are extremely important pieces of information. And for players in this Holy Grail War, the most crucial piece of information to know is the unlocking of Command Seals!

Whether it's the equipment and items produced in the park or the skills and bloodlines that players can combine, there are just too many changes that players can bring to Servants through Command Seals.

This is why Kaguya Shinomiya was unwilling to make a move against Jolyne and Yukino Yukinoshita's combination beforehand, and only wanted to wait for Souichirou Kuzuki to make the first move to test what abilities the other party had.

Unfortunately, plans can never keep up with fate...

Kaguya Shinomiya never expected that her opponent would be Jolyne, nor did she expect that she would have a battle with him in Fuyuki City of another world!

If it were a Pokémon battle where Kaguya Shinomiya beats the other Pokémon so badly that it loses its ability to fight, she could accept it a little. But the Fate world is dominated by dark and tragic settings.

Looking at her final Command Seal, Kaguya Shinomiya began to hesitate about what to release.

Spatial transfer, protective barrier, interdimensional summoning, dispelling negative effects...

It's just about clearing Gilgamesh's current bound state; Kaguya Shinomiya has too many equipment and items to do that.

But what happens after that?

What made Kaguya Shinomiya hesitate was that there was only one Command Seal left on the back of her hand!

No matter how much the negative effects were dispelled, Medusa and Esdeath remained firmly rooted in the earth.

If Gilgamesh cannot be strengthened again, what good will it do for Gilgamesh to break free of his restraints? He will only be activating a Moonlit skill that, in most cases, can only delay his own death by a few seconds.

This last Command Seal is Kaguya Shinomiya's last hope for a comeback.

In this tense moment, Kaguya Shinomiya gritted her teeth, but still couldn't make up her mind.

"Damn Jolyne, it's all because of this mission mode. If my abilities hadn't been restricted, you would have been trampled under my feet long ago..."

Kaguya Shinomiya thought to herself with a heavy heart.

Although from the perspective of acquaintances, there is no longer a life-or-death crisis regardless of who wins or loses this battle, there are social deaths that are more terrifying than death itself.

If she were to lose to Jolyne, Kaguya Shinomiya would feel it would have been better to have died at Scáthach's hands.

Kaguya Shinomiya hesitated, but the battlefield would not stop for her sake.

Without giving Mother Shining any chance, Medusa's [Kubler] was staring intently at her body.

Then Medusa parted her lips slightly, and the true name of her Noble Phantasm was announced to the world amidst bloodshed!

"Forced Sealing - Temple of Ten Thousand Demons!"

At this moment, the phantom of the demon god once again solidified behind Medusa, and the invisible domain of the [Temple of Ten Thousand Demons] also spread to Gilgamesh.

Medusa simply pinched Gilgamesh's body with her fingers, and blood seeped out.
