Super God: If I punch you, you will die

"Oh no, run!"

Rider grabbed Fiore's shoulder and, using the collapsing city wall as a foothold, jumped down without hesitation.

To the east of the fortress of Mirenia lies a towering cliff. Jumping off the wall would result in a fall of over a hundred meters.

"Have you considered mitigating the impact of falling from a great height?"

Rider smiled confidently at Fiore's strong protest.

"Of course! Alright, come on... Junying!"

A magnificent eagle soared through the sky, carrying Fiore and Rider on its back, its high-pitched cry echoing across the heavens… but…

"Huh? This guy's not doing so well. Hey, hey, you need to step it up!"

Despite Rider thumping its neck, the eagle merely stared at Rider with a slightly displeased expression.

Rider has forgotten that when he launched his attack on the Sky Garden, he was attacked by the "Red" Assassin's magic... which forced him to temporarily retreat.

Despite feeling a bit strained, the eagle took flight again with all its might to protect its master. The black greatsword narrowly missed them by a hair's breadth.

"Wow~ This guy's really fast! Master, you'd better be careful not to get targeted by him!"

The giant, who intended to continue the pursuit, suddenly stopped and turned to swing his sword behind him... The impact was deafening, the air vibrated, and remnants of magic scattered all around.

The enormous stone sword… the obsidian sword, was blocked just inches from the girl's helmet. The person standing on the city wall was Ruler. The stone slab beneath her feet had been sheared in half by the previous attack.

"I never expected it to be a 'primordial human'... 'Black' Caster has really left us with something troublesome."

What's truly astonishing is either her incredible strength or the holy banner that remained unbroken even after being struck head-on by a sword. Ruler... Joan of Arc's holy banner, no matter how many minutes or hours pass, will likely never come any closer to her helmet.

"Ruler, hang in there!"

Of course, Archer wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. He immediately drew his bow and unleashed a powerful shot, the arrow piercing the giant's eye and causing him to stagger back a step.

Ruler roared... shoving aside the obsidian sword, he swiftly charged forward... leaping into the air. He spun around, his banner tracing a spiral path as he struck the giant's knee. The joint shattered instantly, and the giant staggered backward, leaping off the cliff to land. This temporarily ensured the safety of Gordes, Caules, and the homunculus.

However, under such circumstances, Ruler had no choice but to face the giants alone.

Archer immediately drew his bow again, his movements fluid and swift. In combat, Archer showed no mercy. His target was again the golem's eye-like body, employing the safe and effective tactic of "firing arrows continuously from a safe spot."

However, the giant to whom "Black" Caster entrusted his hopes was not an ordinary golem.

"What……!"

Despite remaining kneeling, the giant deflected the arrow with a single hand. First of all, this is an astonishing fact. Even with an incomparably massive body, deflecting a supersonic arrow fired by Archer, whose own presence had been erased, is an extremely difficult feat, even for a Servant. Even Achilles, the "Red" Rider, couldn't escape Archer's tracking during the initial battle.

However, the giant, with a single strike, anticipated Archer's attack trajectory, deflecting his second arrow. But the giant then performed an even more astonishing act. He leaped into the air, creating distance between himself and the others… and pulled the arrow that had pierced his own eye. Instantly, the giant's wound healed completely.

"Healing...magic...!"

Upon hearing this surprised remark from whoever it came from, Ruler denied it with a helpless expression:

"No, no. That... is probably a blessing from the earth."

As "primordial humans" with an autonomous, inherent barrier, their mere existence transforms the surrounding environment into another world.

In Paradise, there are no bleeding or injured people. In other words, the arrow wound he suffered would also be considered "non-existent in the first place".

"We must defeat him as soon as possible! If the surrounding environment continues to be transformed into paradise, he will become immortal!"

Yes, this land, which meant only despair to the "original humans," has not yet fully transformed into paradise. That's why he was wounded by that arrow. But that was only for a very short time. As the power of paradise gradually increases... that is, as long as the giants continue to exist in this world, their recovery speed will continue to increase.

It's only natural that "Black" Caster would entrust his affairs to him. Faced with such an absolutely immortal and invincible giant, humanity probably has no way to win.

No, perhaps... even Servants are the same.

Having just dodged the giant's sword strike, Ruler immediately thrust the Holy Banner forward. Of course, she couldn't reach his chest, so she could only target his outstretched arm.

However, the giant swiftly drew his sword to block the holy banner. Under these circumstances, Ruler mustered his strength, which had been involuntarily weakened by the giant's godlike radiance, and began a battle known as "delaying time."

That's right, this is just a delaying tactic. Ruler has absolutely no decisive means to eliminate him.

Although there is one other method, it is a forbidden technique. At least, it's not something that can be used casually in this place.

The anxiety was building. While struggling to suppress his inner turmoil, Ruler continued to wield the holy banner and the giant's black sword in a desperate maneuver.

Witnessing this scene, Fiore shouted:

"Hey... Rider! Among your Noble Phantasms, is there anything you can use to deal with him?"

"Sorry, no! The horn and the book probably won't have much effect on him, and the gun won't do much damage either. Although we still have the Falcon... it's already injured, so it can't launch a full-force attack! Besides, even if we could launch a full-force attack, there's no guarantee we could defeat him! Or rather, it's simply impossible!"

Fiore bit her lip. It seemed the only option left was to unleash Archer's Noble Phantasm. While Archer's Noble Phantasm was an anti-personnel weapon, its power was on a completely different level from that arrow. That was a true one-hit kill. But if even that failed to defeat the Titan…

No, I can't hesitate... Fiore told herself. Thinking rationally, this is the only option now.

"Master, please give me instructions."

Archer urged her to make a decision by speaking to her.

"Yes, Archer, I'm going to unleash your Noble Phantasm. But, even if it only takes a minute, let's consider whether we can definitely defeat him before we begin."

Archer accepted Fiore's instructions and calmly gazed at the giant with eyes that had discerned countless heroes, villains, and monsters.

"The giant's raw materials are wood, stone, mud, and a magician who serves as its 'heart.' Of course, its weakness lies in the heart of that 'heart.' If one possesses the power to pierce through that part, one should be able to defeat it, right?... No, that's not right."

Archer's eyes, capable of seeing through the very essence of all things, could even thoroughly analyze and grasp the internal structure of giants. The heart was undoubtedly a vital organ. Even considering the flow of magical energy, this was absolutely true.

However, the most crucial problem lies in the brain and the legs. That giant is more accurately described as a Servant than a golem, because its head also contains a spiritual core. Even if only the heart is pierced, the presence of the spiritual core in the head would prevent an instant kill.

Even more problematic were the golem's feet firmly planted on the ground. The golem was constantly drawing upon the vast magical energy flowing from the earth through its feet.

Therefore, to completely shatter that "Crown of Wisdom," three powers must be possessed simultaneously.

First, it is a blow that can definitively destroy the brain's spiritual core. Second, it is a blow that completely destroys the heart's "furnace core." Third, it is a blow that strips the feet from the ground.

"impossible."

If it's just one strike, I can try my best to do it. If I could borrow the power of the boy who has reverted to an android, perhaps I could add another strike. But three strikes are absolutely impossible.

As for Ruler… no, now it's up to Ruler to restrain the Titan's combo attacks with the Obsidian Sword. Only by focusing all her efforts on this defensive battle can the Titan be forced to reveal an opening. If she were to switch to attacking, one of the three attacks would likely be blocked.

It would be best to have one more person. One more great hero capable of delivering a fatal blow... no, right here!

"Ruler! I hope we can get another Servant! There should be other Servants around here besides us!"

While nimbly dodging the giant's obsidian sword, Ruler accepted his offer. It seems "Black" Archer has already devised a strategy. Moreover, Archer should also know who the nearby Servant is.

Ruler raised the holy banner high and proclaimed:

"'Red' Saber! I, Jeanne d'Arc, request your participation in the war! You should be somewhere who can hear my voice, come quickly!"

There was a moment of silence.

The magicians and Servants present immediately sensed a massive vortex of magical energy. From the shadow of the fallen trees, a knight clad in steel armor emerged. Lin Yan froze instantly… It was the Servant who had once killed him… “Red” Saber.

Although she was outside the battle zone between the giants and Ruler, she had removed her helmet, revealing a defiant smile on her face.

"I'm here, Ruler. So, what exactly do you want me to do?"

"Please...ask Archer!"

The holy banner and the sword clashed, and the obsidian sword, outmatched in durability, shattered. However, perhaps because it also belonged to "primordial humans," the sword immediately began to regenerate. Infinite durability, infinite healing power. And as time passed second by second… it would eventually reach a state where it would never be injured again.

"Hmph, it's you."

"If we were to wipe the slate clean of past grievances... you probably wouldn't be so willing, but let's forget about it for now. The most important thing right now is to get rid of that thing."

"Of course I know we should live in harmony, right? You android over there! You don't mind, do you?"

"Red," Saber called to Lin Yan. Faced with that mocking smile... Lin Yan took a deep breath and chose to endure.

"do not mind!"

"Lin Yan! I hope you can help me too. Can you unleash your Noble Phantasm again now?!"

Hearing Archer's words, Lin Yan looked at the back of his left hand. The second Command Seal usage... quite a while had passed since then. The deadly feeling after the transformation had also faded considerably.

"No problem, the Noble Phantasm can be used."

"Hey, Master! Archer! What exactly do you want my Master to do?!"

"Black" Rider, who was flying around on his eagle and launching various disruptive attacks on the giant, immediately protested, but Lin Yan gently shook his head... meaning he should not speak.

Archer spoke to the two of them in words:

"In order to finish him off in one blow, I'll have to ask you to unleash your Noble Phantasms. 'Red' Saber, please aim for the skull. Lin Yan, you'll be responsible for the heart. I will shoot an arrow through the tendons of that giant's feet, so please make sure to act the moment his feet leave the ground."

"So what would happen if we failed?"

"He will become an undefeated being that cannot be defeated, and the world will probably be at the mercy of this golem. At the very least, Romania will be transformed into another world."

"Black" Archer casually recounted the dire situation. If they couldn't finish him off in one blow and perfectly coordinate the timing of their actions, he might be resurrected... It was a desperate situation indeed.

Failure is absolutely unacceptable, not even waiting for the right opportunity. Because to obtain the right opportunity, one must first create it with one's own hands.

"Damn it, does that mean we have no choice but to get serious?"

"Understood. I will decide when to transform myself."

“Ruler, you were the one who started it. You paved the way, I set the timing… and then the two of us crushed it.”

"I understand! Then..."

"Hey, wait a minute, Ruler!"

Even for Ruler, clashing swords with a giant is no easy feat. Perhaps due to the constant all-out battle, beads of sweat kept appearing on her forehead from exhaustion.

The giant's onslaught never ceased. Faced with a forward-leaning, diagonal slash... Ruler deflected it with the tip of his holy banner, forcibly altering the sword's trajectory. His strike, however, merely cleaved the earth.

"Right now, I'm very busy, yay...!"

Despite fully understanding the current situation, "Red" Saber still wore a confident smile and said:

"I remember that Ruler should retain the Command Seals that can be used on each Servant, right?"

"That, that's definitely right...!"

"Then give it to me, I want two strokes."

Upon hearing Saber's shameless request, Rider was speechless. Archer and Lin Yan were also dumbfounded by this excessive demand.

"No, no, I can't! I can't give this Command Seal to someone else..."

"This is possible, right? Because the Command Seals that Ruler possesses should be no different from those that Master possesses."

"But two strokes won't do! One stroke at most..."

"Okay, it's settled then! Give me a stroke of the pen, please!"

"What... Waaah...!"

Needless to say, the basic negotiation tactic is to first make an unreasonable request, then force the other party to agree to your original, true demand after being rejected. Ruler has now completely fallen into this trap, and in the end, he even offered the other party more favorable terms.

"I-I know! I understand! I'll give it to you later, for now it's still...!"

Upon hearing her words, "Red" Saber raised her greatsword high into the air and declared in a majestic manner:

"Alright! Archer, time it right! Homunculus, transform now! We need to take down this giant in three minutes!"

"Why are you in charge?!"

Although the criticisms from "Black" Rider were very reasonable, neither "Black" Archer nor Lin Yan had the energy to express their agreement.

Because "Red" Saber has entered the preparation stage for unleashing her Noble Phantasm.

"Honglei!"

Accompanied by a hissing crackle of electricity, the "Radiant King's Sword" began to deform. Twisted by feelings of hatred, it gradually transformed into an evil sword.

Seeing this, Lin Yan also raised his left hand and announced:

"I command my body with the Command Spell."

His body began to change, and a limited world gradually took shape. All laws were ignored, and the time limit was only three minutes... This miracle would befall the android named Lin Yan.

Gold and Colleston, who witnessed the scene up close, were both stunned.

“'Black'...Saber.”
