I, Madoka Kaname, am just a Kamen Rider passing by

If we talk about evaluating what Amakusa Shiro Tokisada did, no one or god in this world, or in this universe, can surpass Li Lin.

Because, this "girl" who was sitting obediently next to El-Melloi II was a goddess who held multiple "titles" of gods.

"The saint attempted to surpass the gods, but he unknowingly betrayed his own faith."

Looking at the sky courtyard that was already within reach, the girl let out a sigh.

Chapter 60 The Messenger and the Virus

"You look very bad, Master."

Sitting lazily on the throne woven of steel, the oldest assassin, also the legendary empress, slowly opened her dark golden eyes.

The magnificent throne was surrounded by steel fences, but surprisingly there was no sense of incongruity. There was a lake on the ceiling where chandeliers and other decorations should have been hung.

The vain sky garden appears as a large fortress floating in the air. It is composed of regularly arranged green floating islands, marble floors and pillars. Various plants are intertwined everywhere. The reason why the garden is floating is because it has the concept of "upside down", in which plants grow downwards and water flows from downstream to upstream.

This is the center of the courtyard, the core. However, considering the possibility that the Thousand World Trees could attack here, the Holy Grail is not here.

"Karna was defeated by that troublesome heretic."

No longer the kind-hearted young priest he usually is, Amakusa Shiro's face is filled with gloom.

"I see. Even the son of the sun god, the hero of charity, was defeated by that master? That is indeed a commendable force, but she will never be able to defeat me in this garden. As long as she is still a human, or still an ordinary magus."

In addition to the Sky Garden that has already appeared here, she also possesses a second Noble Phantasm, the Wine of the Prideful King.

This makes the space or magic have the environmental property of "poison". When this treasure is activated, the magic used by Semiramis will also be given the property of "poison".

There is an additional weakening effect for Heroic Spirits with anecdotes such as "poison is ineffective", and if there is a legend that they are killed by poison, the damage will be doubled. The type of poison can also be freely selected. The image is in the form of a poisonous chain.

In addition, she can also summon Usum, a giant venomous snake in Sumerian mythology, which looks like a dragon and is more toxic than Hydra. It is a mythical beast and the son of the earth goddess Tiamat.

In the eyes of the empress, even if humans are strong enough to kill the Son of God, they have not yet surpassed the scope of humans. As long as they are humans, they will never be able to overcome the poison that she can release.

"Be careful, Assassin. It's always better to be cautious."

Half-kneeling on the ground, looking at the silver-white storage box placed in front of him, Amakusa Shiro seemed to be deep in thought about something. The empress, who had noticed her master's strange behavior, also walked down from the throne and came to his side.

"This magic gift set... well, it doesn't have any magical aura, but it seems to contain some toxins that don't exist in this world. According to modern terms, they should be called viruses?"

Stroking her chin and looking at Amakusa who was fiddling with the strange green device, the evil woman ultimately couldn't figure out anything.

"Thirty years ago, when I was still in the Middle East, a silver-haired girl who claimed to be a messenger entrusted this device to me... Although I doubted her identity at first, she revealed my identity right away."

"What happens after that?"

The empress, who was curious about Amakusa's past, quickly asked questions. She seemed to have some interest in this silver-haired messenger.

"I haven't seen her since then. Although I asked the relevant departments of the Holy Church to investigate, they were unable to find any information related to her."

Looking back now, it is still quite strange and unbelievable, but the device in Amakusa's hand and the complete set of instructions included in the box prove the existence of the girl.

In fact, Amakusa has conducted experiments according to the instructions more than once in the past thirty years, and several experiments have proved that the thing she sent is a genuine product, not just an ordinary toy.

But...what was her reason for giving this thing to herself?

Amakusa Shiro did not think that the other party was simply kind-hearted, so he handed the "treasure" with such powerful power to his own hands.

It's better not to use this thing unless it's absolutely necessary.

Thinking about this, Amakusa shook his head and then put the green device back into the storage box.

"By the way, where are the black servants? I remember that before I left, I had ordered the remaining servants to hold them off."

"Um......"

For some reason, when Amakusa brought up this topic, Semiramis seemed a little embarrassed.

It was as if the look on his face was saying that the situation was more complicated than he could imagine and he didn't know how to explain it.

Semiramis gently held her forehead and waved her other hand in the air.

"Well... Master, I think it would be best if you come and take a look at this situation yourself."

......

At the same time, Nero, who opened his Golden Theater in someone else's home, was "entertaining" the servants of both the red and black sides.

However, the host did not provide any food or drinks, and the people being entertained were sharpening their knives, ready to engage in a full-scale fight or a real-life Kombat with Nero, the host, at any time. Even those who had been fighting each other not long ago had temporarily reached a consensus.

We can talk about the Holy Grail War later, so let’s first deal with Nero, the servant who keeps jumping around and occasionally sneak attacks and stabs others in the back.

Perhaps because Nero was so good at attracting hatred, all the servants in the audience were targeting her.

Although Nero is very strong, it is still a bit too much to ask her to fight eight people alone.

However, the current bad situation was entirely due to the fact that she had been too harsh in the first place, and she also occasionally backstabbed her "teammates" who had fought side by side with her just a few seconds ago, which successfully angered everyone present.

"A god of war once said that if we settle our grudges here, we will all grow."

With beads of sweat on his forehead, Nero looked awkwardly at the eight servants who had been fighting each other not long ago but now shared a common hatred for the enemy.

"That's right. We are settling our grievances. After all, there is no place for you in this Holy Grail War, Emperor from Rome."

Vlad III was the first to speak like this, and soon after, the rest of the servants echoed him.

After all, no one would like Nero to kick her on the butt when she is having a one-on-one fight with others.

Especially Mordred, Nero took special care of this naughty child, so her resentment was the greatest among all the servants.

Chapter 61: The bell of decisive battle is about to ring

"Teacher, if possible, I don't want to go up to this sky garden at all."

Li Lin opened the helicopter door and stuck his head out to look at the bustling sky courtyard.

If nothing unexpected happens, the bell for the final of this battle will ring here, in this floating fortress built by Amakusa and the oldest poisoner.

Li Lin thought it was stupid to confront the enemy head-on when they were occupying an advantageous terrain, but now the Holy Grail was in the hands of Amakusa Shiro, and she couldn't just knock down the aerial garden.

Although she said that the Holy Grail didn't matter, she still wanted it.

The universal wishing machine can help Li Lin avoid many detours. Even if he cannot directly use the magic power accumulated by the Holy Grail to penetrate the outer wall of the world, he can at least come up with a reasonable method.

Even if she really couldn't leave this world, she wanted to confirm with her own eyes and ears the correctness of an answer that made her feel desperate and depressed.

Li Lin sighed helplessly, then looked at Shizijie who was driving the car, and this reliable uncle also made an OK gesture to her.

If she missed the Greater Holy Grail, she would have to wait for who knows how many years to have the next chance to leave the Type-Moon World, and it was unclear whether she would be able to seize it.

Then, the girl shifted her gaze to El-Melloi II in the back seat.

"Hey, hey, there might be hell ahead."

"Don't talk about hell with people who have been to hell, teacher."

"That's true, but you really don't want to consider it?"

Hearing this, the man tried to retain her.

"It's not too late to regret now, Li Lin. Even if you can't find your way back home, Lanis and I will welcome you to stay at the El-Melloi family."

On the way here, Li Lin had already told the Second everything he could, of course not including facts like "your student once slaughtered half of the universe", "backstabbed a former teammate to complete ten kills of the Super God", "destroyed the world twice, and created it twice", which were enough to give the pillar of the El-Melloi family a stomachache for a whole month.

No one can accept the fact that their student is God. Even the extremely tolerant Second Generation, after learning of this fact, the stomach medicine he carries with him may not be enough, right?

"Don't even think about it. I won't work overtime with you!"

"Ahahahahaha, Li Lin, is your teacher this kind of person in your eyes?!" As if his sore spot was hit, the Second World turned his head away with a wry smile.

"Who knows?" Li Lin shrugged helplessly. "Okay, Mr. Lion Jie, this distance is enough. I can jump over it."

As the words fell, cobra-like armor covered Li Lin's entire body.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Can you give me the Hydra serum you made earlier? I might need it when dealing with that poisonous woman next time."

"That thing is very expensive... Well, forget it. I probably won't have the chance to use it anyway."

Shizijie just complained and handed the box of serum to Li Lin. After all, in the modern times when mystery has faded, there is no use for this serum at all.

Rather than letting it gather dust in his hands, it would be better to hand it over to Li Lin of the El-Melloi family, so that the El-Melloi family would owe him a favor.

After calculating the pros and cons, Lion Jie took the opportunity to give the serum made from the young Hydra to the girl.

"Thanks. This way I have one more winning card."

Although Kamen Rider Evol's armor has the function of adapting to harsh environments and purifying the air, it is always good to have an extra insurance policy, because she once accidentally drank Origami Shidou's anesthetic and was knocked down. Li Lin is still not sure whether this body can be immune to the poison released by the Empress's treasure.

"Well, see you after the Holy Grail War, Ciao~"

Li Lin waved to the two of them, leaped up, and her figure disappeared into the vast night. Only the shock wave and flying dust on the outer layer of the sky garden allowed the Second Generation to confirm that his student had indeed successfully invaded here.

"Aren't you going to come along? Lord El-Melloi II."

"I am only a fourth-class magus. I know that I will only hinder her if I go there. Besides, what can a magus of the color class do? That child is comparable to the heroes of ancient times."

The only thing El-Melloi II is good at is discovering the potential of his students. He is a good coach, but not a good athlete. If a fight really comes, he will even be pecked on the head by three roosters.

Well, that was more than ten years ago. Now he can probably beat five roosters or half a goose safely by using magic.

"Speaking of which, what do you think about Amakusa Shiro's wish, El-Melloi II?"

"If this happens, humans will abandon their emotions and become machines without desires or needs. The whole world will stop and everything will return to dead silence."

"Trying to save all of humanity with the Third Law is truly an incredible ambition. At the time, I really didn't realize that the kind and humble young priest was such a person. But when you think about it, there's nothing wrong with it. If the heroes of ancient times didn't have obsessions, they wouldn't have responded to the call of the Holy Grail as Servants."

Will human souls regret losing their emotions after being materialized? The two magicians present didn't know the result. After all, that was a field that humans had not yet set foot in. But death was terrible. If there was a plan for immortality in front of them, how many people in the world would refuse it?

Immortality is too tempting. At least 80% of the world's people will not reject this beautiful future. People who pursue immortality will not think about whether they will feel alive or not, as well as various social issues. They only care about immortality. Looking back on human history, how many people in high positions have not tried to find ways to extend their lifespans?

Fortunately, Amakusa did not think of using this plan to win over some high-level people from the outside world. Otherwise, this would not be a battle of swords and magic, but would have turned into a Third World War like the one in the Middle East, with artillery bombardments in front and laser sweeps in the back.

Of course, this is the only thing to be thankful for.

"It's hard for us to judge right or wrong. But I think what the kid said is right."

Humans who have lost the shackles of death and flesh are left with only immortal souls.

——They are no different from monsters.

Chapter 62: Nero: Caliber is truth, equivalence is justice

One rider against eight riders.

Generally speaking, this is an absolute gap in strength. Even the golden King of Uruk, if he were to fight against eight heroes when not in his home field, he would be more or less overwhelmed due to the limitation of his spiritual foundation.

Moreover, among these eight servants there are many famous Greek heroes such as Chiron and Achilles.

Any other servant would be helpless in the face of the desperate situation, but Nero held on. Relying on the geographical advantage brought by her own theater and Li Lin's illegal summoning, she had the advantage of A in all panel attributes except for her chest. She managed to fend off the siege of eight people.

——The Golden Theater of Zhaoluo.

She uses magic to create and recreate the theater she built in Rome during her lifetime. She named the theater she designed Domus Aurea.

It is said that after the theater opened, many audiences left during the first performance. She was so angry about this that she blocked all the entrances and exits during the second performance, and no one was allowed to go out until the end of the performance.

Before she became an emperor, she firmly believed that she was an "artist who rivals Apollo, the god of music" and a "chariot driver who rivals the sun god." This is a great magic that is similar to but different from the inherent barrier, which can only be accomplished by her with this idea. The absolute emperor circle that fulfills her wishes.

There seem to be sub-species such as the "Silver Workshop" for creating handicrafts and the "Scorching Kitchen" for cooking competitions.

A great magic trick that temporarily substitutes the other world that materializes her mental landscape into the world, which is similar to the inherent barrier, and reproduces the theater and buildings designed by herself during her lifetime with magic power to create a battlefield that is favorable to her. Unlike the inherent barrier of the replaced world, it is built on the world from the beginning, so it can be maintained for a long time.

When deployed, enemies that enter can be weakened, and if you customize the building, its shape and skills can be changed. In short, you can ignore the construction process and directly project the building, and if you are in it, you can activate the rules you set.

"I said that as long as I am in this theater, I will never lose to anyone."

The magnificent dome turned into machine guns and laser cannons, the red and gold floor was covered with various types of anti-tank mines, and the devices on both sides of Nero's body, which looked like organs and battleship main guns, kept firing at the eight servants.

With the modern knowledge granted by the Holy Grail and some immature suggestions from Li Lin, the Emperor of Rome developed some special functions for his theater, and the "modern weapons" that were themselves constructed by magic power were also given by her the effect of "anti-spirits".

Human beings are always making progress, and it is not surprising that servants learn something as the times change.

However, what makes people despair the most is not the overwhelming carpet bombing, nor the landmines under their feet that may be triggered and detonated at any time. Even if the two are combined, they are not as good as the real harmony that penetrates the spiritual bases of the servants.

Yes, while the eight people were "struggling" in the gunfire, Nero even had the leisure to turn on the microphone and create modern sound to sing.
