I really didn't want to burn it.

"Those two little vixens."

Li Ang cursed under his breath, his dislike for Gaia and Alaya, the two restraining forces, growing stronger.

"Your Majesty, did you know that humanity once made a choice that was outside the constraints of history (the restraining force)?"

"which one?"

"In the Fifth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, the Heroic Spirit Solomon won the Holy Grail War."

This answer left Li Ang speechless.

Humanity's only act of resistance has resulted in this.

"It's ridiculous, isn't it?"

At this moment, Koyanskaya finally stood up.

"For the first time, humanity made a choice that was not planned by history, and the result was annihilation by disaster! In the end, they had to find the shackles that bound them again—history—in order to continue."

"But you still haven't said what your purpose is!?"

Despite all that Koyanskaya said, she still didn't tell Leon her true purpose.

"Your Majesty, do you know? Being your Wu Zetian is the first time I haven't played a villainous role. It's the first time I've acted out a role that history has assigned me, a role I can play freely."

"What a wonderful performance... Although you didn't like me much, it was the happiest day of my life because I gained a kind of 'freedom' I had never experienced before."

“I knew it from that moment on that you were special! You were a unique being, unlike anyone else in this world!”

"Only you can give everyone a chance to truly rebel against their predetermined fate, without being retaliated against by history!!"

Koyanskaya, who had stood up, raised her hand in front of her and clenched it tightly.

"And I want to give this opportunity to everyone, so that they can have the same opportunity as me!!"

A blue light curtain rapidly split and expanded outward from Goyanskaya's palm.

In just a moment, it engulfed both Leon and Koyanskaya.

Li Ang found himself standing in a magnificent palace, different from the Temple of Time. The fox girl opposite him had returned to her original size and was holding a rapier made of jade that shone like a mirror.

"Your Majesty."

Koyanskaya pointed the tip of her sword at Leon.

"Now, I'm going to eat you up!"

Chapter 382 Goodbye, My Friend

Temple of Time.

"Enemy fortress operation halted! His Majesty the First Emperor has broken through the blockade!!"

An excited atmosphere began to fill the bridge of the Penglai.

The two Holy Grail bombs had cleared out a large number of monsters. With Koyanskaya not being able to replenish the forces in time, and the monsters' greatest firepower support—the giant ship—being dismantled by His Majesty the First Emperor, the allied forces finally gained control of the upper tier.

Although the First Emperor was quickly entangled again by Phil's dragon, the allied forces were able to launch a counterattack.

Clearly, the scales of victory have tipped in favor of the allied forces.

However, the subsequent turn of events caused everyone's slightly relieved hearts to hang in suspense once again.

"Report! Something's happened in the sky!!"

"Sky?"

"Look!"

After being reminded, some people subconsciously looked up at the sky.

Above the Temple of Time, a blue light curtain was expanding outward from the throne, creating a scene that was intensely eerie.

"what is that?"

This question arose in everyone's mind.

"do not know."

After a cursory analysis, both Leonardo da Vinci and Medea, who were analysts, shook their heads.

"do not know?"

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged puzzled glances.

While these two Casts may not be the strongest in combat, they are definitely top-tier Servants when it comes to magical analysis. If even they don't know, then what is this thing?

Could this be another weapon of Koyanskaya to destroy humanity?

"Although we can see it, we can't analyze it..."

Leonardo da Vinci sighed slightly.

"That thing has no magic."

Normally, the absence of magic would mean it's a normal natural phenomenon, but the thing above everyone's heads doesn't look like a natural astronomical spectacle at all.

The sudden change was quite unsettling, and everyone believed that the blue light curtain that suddenly appeared could not be a good thing.

"Maintain constant monitoring and report any unusual activity immediately."

"Yes!"

The liaison officer on the bridge quickly agreed.

Meanwhile, in the sky above the throne of the Temple of Time.

"Surrender! Your cause is lost!"

Chloris said to DD, who was bound by vines.

“Ryougi Shiki has already broken through your blockade and headed for the throne. And now you’ve been captured by us. If you surrender obediently, I might spare your life.”

"Do you really think so?"

Looking up at the abnormal light screen in the sky, DD gave a cryptic smile.

"What's the meaning!?"

Following DD's gaze, Chloris also immediately noticed the abnormality in the sky.

"What tricks are you playing?!"

"Sa~~"

DD didn't answer Chloris's question, but simply curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

boom!

DD instantly broke free from the vines binding him and pointed his lightsaber at Chloris and the others once again.

“Miss Flora, the final act of the performance is about to begin,” DD said with a smile. “We just need to wait for the result.”

"By the way, I bet the owner will win in the end."

DD said with a smirk.

Chloris narrowed her eyes; she was now quite certain that the maid was hiding something from her.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Koyanskaya's Barrier Palace.

Click.

The blue jade sword shattered into pieces and scattered all over the ground. Goyanskaya collapsed to her knees, completely distraught.

"how come……"

Koyanskaya stared blankly at the shards on the ground, completely unprepared for what seemed like a sure thing to go wrong at the last step.

"Your Majesty, how did you do that?"

Koyanskaya raised her head and looked at Koyanskaya with a complicated expression.

"Well..." Li Ang fiddled with his fingers and said in a teasing tone, "Because you chose the wrong way, Meiniang. If you were to eat me in bed, I promise I would raise my hands and not resist at all."

[Host, your level of nonsense has reached a new level.]

"Shut up."

[Waaaaah~ This heartless host has crossed the river and burned the bridge, discarding the dog after the rabbit is caught~ Waaaaah~ Waaaah~]

Li Ang rolled his eyes, ignoring the rubbish of this broken system.

However, the system was right. Without it, Li Ang really wouldn't have been able to pass the test so easily.

Koyanskaya's plan was to lock herself in her mental space and then use her home-field advantage to directly devour him in order to gain Leon's ability to change history.

Then Secretary Fox was taught a lesson by the funeral system.

The mourning system is directly bound to Li Ang. Even if the mourning system itself is unwilling, it cannot change its host. Not only can it not change him, it must also ensure the "integrity" of the host's soul.

As a result of her failure to "feed," Koyanskaya suffered a backlash, and even her Nine-Tailed Fox form could not be maintained.

To be honest, if Koyanskaya were to actually fight Leon using the strength of the Beast, it would be hard to say who would win in the end.

Unfortunately, they chose to wage war in the way that gave Li Ang the greatest advantage.

Thus, this earth-shattering war ultimately ended in a way that was even less impressive than a petty brawl between thugs.

"Meiniang, tell me."

Leon looked down at the distraught Goyanskaya and asked.

"If you're doing this for humanity, why are you disrupting human reason?"

"Hmph, why would anyone hand over such a golden opportunity to humanity for nothing?! They never cherish things that are easily obtained. This was originally a gift of victory that I prepared for the surviving humans, so that they would make a careful choice."

Koyanskaya raised her head and gave a bitter smile.

"But it doesn't matter now, I've already failed."

Leon shook his head slightly and gently touched Koyanskaya's fox ears.

"It feels so good. Why didn't you show your ears earlier when you were in the palace?"

Snapped.

Koyanskaya slapped Li Ang's hand away in disgust.

"Your Majesty, are you planning to lock them up and treat them like playthings?"

"No, it's just that I've wanted to touch it for a long time."

Li Ang shrugged dejectedly. He walked to the broken jade sword and used his magic to reassemble the fragments.

"Dear System, how many points do I have left? Never mind, I'll keep the minimum 100 points and keep the rest."

[Host, what are you planning to do?]

Li Ang said softly, "Koyanskaya is right, humanity needs the power to choose. But before that, we need to clean up after Meiniang..."

"Water, sky, sunlight, and the illumination of the Eight Fields Town Stone!"

Li Ang clenched his open hand tightly, unleashing all the magical power within the Killing Stone.

The purple light curtain rapidly expanded outward from the throne, quickly replacing the original blue and expanding at an even faster pace.

"Something strange has happened in the sky!!"

"All troops retreat! Withdraw from the battlefield!"

"Sky forces, withdraw first!"

……

Although no one knew what the effects of the anomaly in the sky would be, just thinking about all the strange things that Goyanskaya had done before, everyone felt that this thing was definitely not a good thing.

However, the purple light barrier did not transform into a magic ball to attack the ground or exterminate all living things within its coverage area. Instead, it directed the particles that released the light towards it.

"what is that!"

Sakura Matou cried out in terror, feeling her power gradually disappearing.
