I really didn't want to burn it.

"Tch, you dead gorilla, don't go too far!"

Lancelot retaliated with his sword, but Gawain pinned him down.

"Tsk tsk, what a pity." Gawain grinned maliciously. "You're no match for me in Rome!"

"If I weren't still not fully recovered..."

Lancelot struggled, trying to grab Gawain's arm and pry him off.

"Don't do that, you damn camel!"

Li Ang loudly stopped Lancelot's actions, kicking away Gawain who was trying to seduce him.

Then, Li Ang grabbed Artoria, who was stuck in the black mud, and pulled her out.

"Don't touch this black mud! Unless you want to end up like Gawain!"

"Then why can you?"

Leon flashed his hand, which was covered in runes, to Lancelot and the others.

"I have my defenses in place."

"Whether it's defense or not, I don't know. I just want to know what that thing is!" Bedivere asked seriously.

"I can't really explain it, but it must be very troublesome."

Li Ang looked serious.

He had never encountered the evils of this world and did not know the specifics of the genuine Black Mud.

But through the interaction just now, and comparing it with the plot I remembered,

Li Ang discovered that Romulus's black mud did not possess the kind of negative emotions that drive people mad, but he did not believe that the black mud was without danger.

On the contrary, Romulus's black mud is highly corrosive and forcibly imposes a certain concept on its host.

Just as the original God Ancestor's Noble Phantasm imbues the enemy with the concept of "Rome," this black mud similarly assimilates the host into the black-clad God Ancestor.

Without protective measures, once it gets stuck, you could end up looking like Gao Wen now.

"Merlin, how do we solve this problem?" Li Ang asked a scammer online for help.

"This thing can only be fought with your own magic!" Merlin's usual smile vanished, replaced by a grim expression as he explained, "Only if your magic is stronger than its power can you digest these things."

"That's troublesome..."

Li Ang slammed his fist heavily on the ground.

Their opponents possess the Holy Grail, putting them at a clear disadvantage in the contest of magical power.

"Cough cough!"

Artoria got up from the ground, and her constant coughing showed how weak she was.

"Artoria, are you alright?"

Li Ang quickly asked.

Artoria replied softly, "I'm alright... just a little weak. Leon, you're actually quite concerned about me. Looks like I've won."

Li Ang couldn't help but smile wryly: "Even at a time like this, you're still saying these things..."

"Hmph, failed to capture the King of Britain?"

Romulus, who was flying in mid-air with his armor, snorted coldly.

"Fine, I've already achieved my goal. Now... the world will be Rome!"

With these words, the churning black mud lifted up two golden cups.

"Holy Grail..."

Mashu gasped in surprise.

"Lanc—!"

Nero, who was originally in the Rome lounge, also arrived at the venue. She raised her red magic sword and launched an attack on Romulus.

"Ok?"

The black mud surrounding Romulus seemed to sense something, spreading out like a net to engulf Nero.

At the last second, Chloris used vines to pull Nero back.

"Girl, don't be impulsive!"

"Lady Flora!" Nero exclaimed, deeply moved. "You truly do love me!"

Don't call me that name!

"Claus said impatiently."

"Yes, Lady Flora!"

Chloris clenched her fist, struggling with where to punch so that the little cow would remember her name.

Nero, meanwhile, pointed his sword at Romulus in the sky and questioned him.

"Lanc! Who are you? What do you want?!"

Romulus raised his hands high and said proudly, "I am Romulus = Quirinus!"

"God...Lord God Ancestor?"

Nero clearly couldn't believe it.

"Don't be disgusting! You're just wearing that skin!" Li Ang retorted. "Which of the 72 Demon Gods are you, really?"

"Oh... I've long forgotten about that."

Romulus seemed to be recalling something, and slowly explained to everyone: "This Heroic Spirit's Spirit Origin was too powerful, so that in the process of conquering him, I became Rome instead!"

"So I changed my approach. Since he likes Rome so much, then I'll become Rome! Since he wants the whole world to become Rome, then I'll go along with his wishes!"

"...However, in a way I like."

Romulus opened his eyes and gently placed his hands on the two Holy Grails.

"Now, let the world, history, and human reason all become Rome!"

"P Aspa Ad Astra! (Our arms stretch out to the heavens!)"

Black water gushed forth from the Holy Grail.

In an instant, the entire arena was stained black.

PS: Actually, from the moment I saw the Grand Ancestor dressed as a Gold Saint, I had the idea of ​​writing about the Grand Ancestor.Alt.

After all, the Hades Cloth designs of the Gold Saints in Saint Seiya are truly classic, and Mi-chan thinks they're even cooler than the Gold Cloths themselves. ヾ(??ω?｀)?

Chapter 107 Li Ang: Mashu-chan, it's time to activate the Noble Phantasm upgrade!

The black tide swept across the entire arena in an instant, and within moments, most of the people in the arena became prisoners of the black mud.

Because it all happened so suddenly, even the heroic spirits and British knights on the field didn't have time to react, and several of them were directly buried in the black mud.

"What is this?!"

Before they could even scream, Diarmuid and Joan of Arc were engulfed by the Black Tide.

"ah!"

Mashu, standing on the outside, barely managed to block one of the black muds with her shield, but the other black mud launched a sneak attack on her back.

"careful!"

To Mashu's astonishment, Lancelot and Galahad tossed her toward Merlin, while they themselves vanished instantly into the churning black mud.

"No!"

Mashu tried to pull the two back, but Merlin held her tightly in his arms.

"Mash-chan, don't let them sacrifice themselves in vain."

Merlin first offered Mash a word of comfort.

Then, he raised his wand and shouted to those around him.

"Those who don't want to be bathed in black mud, hurry up and come to my side!"

A white sphere of light enveloped the remaining survivors on the field.

Through pure magical combat, Merlin created a chance for everyone to survive.

"I'd say, isn't this water output a bit excessive?"

Inside the sphere of light, Li Ang grinned and complained.

Looking around, all he could see was black, and he felt that Romulus had the idea of ​​flooding the entire arena.

[Host, this is called the squared particle size distribution of the dual-furnace system; two cups are far more powerful than one.]

Even in such a desperate situation, the mourning system continued its unscrupulous吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to criticize or ridicule).

[Host, you should be happy. This divine ancestor first used Saint Seiya references, and now he's using Gundam 00 references, which shows he's a self-proclaimed otaku. The system believes you two will get along very well.]

"Talk to your uncle! Is he someone you can talk to?!" Li Ang shouted.

Snapped.

Chloris delivered a chop to Li Ang's head.

"Now is not the time to be silly, let's think of a solution quickly."

“That’s right, that’s right.” Merlin nodded repeatedly. “It’s only a matter of time before I can’t hold on.”

“How about we use illusion magic to deceive that guy outside?” Mordred suggested, “and then launch a sneak attack on him.”

Merlin rejected the suggestion with a wry smile: "It's not feasible. There's too much black mud. If he buries himself in it, there's no way you can get through."

"Then let's just run!" Li Ang said. "Merlin, prepare the teleportation spell!"

"Hey?!"

"Don't tell me you've forgotten the incantation now!"

"Whether I've forgotten or not, I need time to prepare."

Merlin pointed to the magical shield surrounding them. "And... what about this? I can't cast two such important spells at the same time."

"I can block some of it."

As Li Ang spoke, he gestured on the sphere of light, indicating that it covered approximately one-third of the area.

“My plant wall should be able to block the remaining half,” Chloris said, “but the other side…”

"I come!"

Mashu stepped forward resolutely, "Leave it to me!"

"Then it's settled."

There was no time for sentimentality now, and Li Ang quickly made a decision.

"I'll count to three... then let's do it!"

At the same moment Merlin removed his shield, Leon and Chloris used runes and plants respectively to block the oncoming black mud.

On the other side, Mash also raised her shield high and slammed it hard into the ground.

"Lord Chaldeas! (Imaginary Noble Phantasm Deployment/Foundation of Humanity!)"

The moment the blue shield collided with the black tide, Mash felt the pressure.

"Hmm...that's strong."

The powerful black magic surged like a tide, forcing Mashu to retreat little by little.
