My XX deal with Sister Nero

Afterwards, Longinus and the Spear of Longinus in his hand became famous through the ages.

Judging from his appearance, this Longinus should be only in his thirties, so is he... also a heroic spirit?

It is possible. After all... Longinus is indeed qualified to become a heroic spirit.

“Longinus…” Tony first knew Longinus from a domestic comic, the eternal centurion… ahem, okay, that’s not the point.

"So, it was you who suggested that I go back, right?" Tony asked thoughtfully, touching his chin.

"...Yes, Your Highness." Longinus hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

as expected.

Although he had heard of Tiamat, Bruce probably didn't know much about Tiamat, so... the only one who could notice this was Longinus, the heroic spirit.

Well, to be honest, although Longinus converted to Christianity after stabbing Jesus and became one of the Christian saints, Saint Longinus, he still considered himself a Roman and a low-ranking officer of a Roman legion. So as an officer of a Roman legion... is it wrong for him to want to protect His Highness?

Longinus' idea was right, but Tony didn't want to go back, because he knew that if he didn't get rid of Tiamat, even if she could help the Roman Empire get rid of the Parthian Empire, then what? After defeating the Parthian Empire, then what? Would Tiamat just stay there?

No, she will continue to advance and attack the Roman Empire and the countries of Asia!

And there is another most critical question.

Why did Tiamat, who was originally dead and exiled to the imaginary space, revive again and appear here? !

In FGO, the reason why Tiamat was able to return was due to the collapse of the foundation of human order and the power of the Holy Grail. However, in this world line, or in this lossbelt, the foundation of human order has already collapsed in a sense, but... is there the Holy Grail in this world line?

……

"Of course there is a Holy Grail in this world~" Looking at the questions raised by his subordinates, Rosa shrugged and said, "First of all, we have to make it clear whether the Holy Grail refers to the Holy Grail of Fuyuki City. The answer is obvious. No, the Holy Grail system of Fuyuki City is actually a kind of magic ritual. But in fact, the real Holy Grail is a material miracle. From the birth of the earth to the establishment of Chaldea, more than 700 Holy Grails have appeared on the earth. They are originally very rare things, but Xiaolongniang can pick up three Holy Grails at her doorstep as soon as she goes out... You say that there is a Holy Grail in this era. Is this strange?"

"Is that so..." The subordinate opened her mouth. She didn't know much about the Type-Moon world. If it was really as His Majesty explained, then... the appearance of Tiamat mentioned in the intelligence was indeed possible.

The foundation of humanity in this world line was the collapse, the Lostbelt appeared, and with the addition of the Lesser Holy Grail, what is the difference between all this and the Seventh Singularity? In such an environment, the appearance of the resurrected Tiamat is nothing more normal.

"If that's the case..." The subordinate looked at His Majesty standing in front of him with a nervous expression, and after thinking for two seconds, he suddenly spoke.

"If that's true... Tony, there will be trouble, right?" Looking at the flying yellow sand in front of him, Rosa nodded calmly.

The existence of the Holy Grail in the world led to the resurrection of Tiamat. As the creator god of Mesopotamia, Tiamat's combat power is at the ceiling level. What Tony can do now is to gather the combat power around him as much as possible, and Longinus is a very good combat power.

In the Type-Moon world, Longinus has never officially appeared, but based on his anecdotes, it is not difficult for Tony to infer that the Spear of Longinus in his hand is an anti-divine weapon that can cause damage to Tiamat...if she still has divinity.

Chapter 531: The Origin of the Holy Grail

In Tony's conception, Tiamat is the creator goddess in Mesopotamian mythology. Since she is the creator goddess, her divinity must be very high. If the Spear of Longinus is really an anti-divine weapon, then it will definitely be useful against Tiamat.

And it has a big effect!

However, Tony overlooked one point. Yes, Tiamat was once the God of Creation and her divinity was indeed very high, but the problem was that she was no longer the God of Creation. She was now a beast and the evil of mankind!

She has long lost her divinity.

“Is that so…” After learning from Tony about the possibility that Tiamat would destroy the world, Longinus thought about it for a while and finally nodded, “I understand. I will assist Your Highness in getting rid of Tiamat.”

Being called a saint means that deep down in his heart Longinus no longer simply loves the Romans. If it is a battle between humans, then he will definitely side with the Romans, because he is a centurion of the Roman Empire, but if the opponent is non-human, then... Longinus will definitely give priority to dealing with those who pose a threat to humanity.

As a heroic spirit, a Christian saint, and a centurion of the Roman Empire, he has the obligation to keep human disasters out!

"Your Highness, I can stay to stop the invasion of Tiamat, but I think that Your Highness is still young and should quickly return to the Roman Empire to ensure your own safety." Taking a deep breath, Longinus looked up and stared at Tony and said.

"If Tiamat comes to the land, I won't be safe anywhere!" Tony frowned and looked at Longinus with a cold tone.

"But..." Longinus frowned. This prince is still young. Regardless of his status or age, he should not appear on the front line.

"He's right. He can't guarantee his safety no matter where he is." At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and a figure that Tony looked somewhat familiar with appeared in front of him.

"Shen Xiaofan? Why are you here?" Looking at the familiar woman in front of him, Tony was stunned for a moment and asked curiously.

Shen Xiaofan, Rosa's companion, logically speaking, this guy should be in Rome now, why is she here?

"I heard that Tiamat has been resurrected. I thought you were still on the front line, so I came here to check on you." Shen Xiaofan nodded and said, "Although I am not familiar with this world, I have learned about it from Rosa... Tiamat is now resurrected, and after her resurrection, she acts based on instinct. Her love for humans was her instinct, and her hatred for humans is also her instinct."

At this point, Shen Xiaofan paused and continued, "Because of the Holy Grail, Tiamat already knows..."

"Wait, what did you say? The Holy Grail?" Tony opened his eyes wide in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face: "The Holy Grail, should it be the Greater Holy Grail system of the three major families in Fuyuki City? What, someone has come up with the Greater Holy Grail system in this era?"

"That's not the case." Shen Xiaofan shook his head, then glanced at Longinus who was kneeling beside him, and hesitated to speak.

"Longinus, please step aside first. I have something to discuss with this... lady." Pursing her lips, Tori waved at Longinus who was kneeling beside her.

"Yes." Longinus also realized that what this woman wanted to discuss with his Royal Highness the Prince was probably a secret that he could not hear, so... it would be better for him to step down.

After Longinus left, Shen Xiaofan closed the door and frowned at Tony: "I now doubt whether you are a real moon man."

"What's wrong with me?" Tony looked at Shen Xiaofan in confusion, not knowing why she said that.

"Alas." Shen Xiaofan sighed and explained slowly: "Regarding the Holy Grail, there are actually three types of Holy Grails in the Fate world view. Yes, there are three types, not three. The first Holy Grail is the wine cup used by Jesus before his crucifixion in 33 AD. It is a Christian holy relic. The second type is the Holy Grail system mentioned in "Fate/stay night". This so-called universal wishing machine is one of the methods developed by magicians to reach the "root". Of course, you should also know whether it can be reached, so I won't explain it here. As for the last type, which is the Holy Grail in FGO, this is a magic container made by Solomon that can connect to the root. Of course, the powerful magicians in the Age of Gods can rub the Holy Grail by hand, such as Medea."

"Is it so powerful..." Tony scratched his head. He basically skipped the plot when playing FGO and had no idea how the Holy Grail came about.

But one thing is certain, the Holy Grail in FGO is indeed related to Solomon, and he remembers this.

"In essence, the Holy Grail system of Fuyuki City and Solomon's Holy Grail are actually the same thing. Both are ways to reach the root, but the difference is that the Holy Grail of Fuyuki City is more like a rechargeable battery, while the Holy Grail made by Solomon is like a Nanfu battery, which cannot be recharged." Shen Xiaofan shrugged and continued to explain.

"I see. I roughly understand it." Tony nodded thoughtfully. He roughly understood how the Holy Grail in this world came about.

In this era, Solomon has been resurrected. Although it is not clear whether it is Solomon or Goetia who has been resurrected, it is undeniable that both Solomon and Goetia have the ability to rub the Holy Grail with their hands, and this Solomon... or Goetia, should also want to destroy humanity.

Then, Tiamat came out.

"So, the appearance of Tiamat is related to this crown magician to some extent, and in this world... who is the real core?" Shen Xiaofan looked at Tony with a playful look and asked.

…Is there any need to say this?!

Under Rosa's operation, Tony became the lord of the Lostbelt. If you want to destroy this world, the easiest way is to kill Tony!

So if Tony hides back in Rome, then Tiamat will obey her own will and attack Rome!

What a devastation that would be!

"...If I stay here, it should be very difficult to resist Tiamat, right?" After a brief silence, Tony spoke slowly.

If his previous plan to stay in Ctesiphon was just a willful act, this time, Tony really wanted to stay and resist Tiamat.

She cannot be allowed to appear in Roman territory. After all, there are so many people she is familiar with in the Roman Empire!

Chapter 532: Gathering manpower!

"It's a problem. I don't have any decent fighting power. If I rely on a few demigods... I'm afraid it won't be enough?" Touching his chin, Tony muttered to himself while secretly looking at Shen Xiaofan.

"Don't look at me. Although I still have some fighting ability compared to ordinary people, it is only limited to ordinary people. Even in this closed city of Taixi, I don't know how many people can kill me. Don't expect me to become your fighting force." Seeing Tony constantly stealing glances at him, Shen Xiaofan quickly waved his hand and interrupted Tony's unrealistic idea.

Tsk!

Tony smacked his lips. He thought Shen Xiaofan was like Rosa. In addition to having her own power, her individual combat ability was also outstanding. Even if she couldn't kill a demon pillar like Rosa, her combat ability should at least be comparable to that of a heroic spirit, right? Unexpectedly, according to Shen Xiaofan's description, her combat ability was not as good as Mary's?

"Forget it. If you really need help, I can help you. Although my fighting ability is not that good, that guy Rosa has left some manpower for me to protect you and me... Well, the fighting ability of these people is pretty good. If necessary, I will arrange for them to go into battle." Looking at the obvious disappointment on Tony's face, Shen Xiaofan sighed and spoke.

There is no way. Among the core members of the organization, I am the only female. So it is inevitable that this person called the "Queen of War" also serves as the housekeeper in the organization... After all, these big men are not so meticulous in doing things, right?

Things like this, raising children...sigh.

"At the moment I have two... three and a half heroic spirits and two demigods, and two more demigods are on the way to support me. What about you? Who do you have on your side?" Tony looked at Shen Xiaofan and spoke slowly, tapping the table lightly while standing beside it.

"Me? Well, if we take Rosa as the benchmark, Rosa's combat power is enough to rival the Demon Pillar, which means he is stronger than the Heroic Spirits, and can even be compared with the gods, right? I currently have five people, one of whom can be regarded as a demigod-level fighter, and the other four... their combat power can barely compete with the top-level Heroic Spirits." Shen Xiaofan frowned and touched his chin, thinking for two seconds before speaking.

???

Although he already knew that the guards Shen Xiaofan mentioned were actually the core combat force in Rosa's hands, but being able to bring out four beings with combat power comparable to top-level heroes and one with combat power comparable to a demigod in one go...isn't this a bit too strong?

According to the information revealed by Rosa and Shen Xiaofan, Rosa himself has a powerful empire under his command, and these guards were sent to protect Shen Xiaofan and Tony without shaking the foundation of the empire, so... in other words, Rosa actually has several demigods and top-level heroes with combat power under his command?

"Okay, stop being distracted and think about how to deal with the enemy first." Shen Xiaofan stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of Tony's eyes, pulling his wandering thoughts back. He shrugged and said to Tony, "You have to know that your enemy now is not just Tiamat, but also includes predators, alien gods, Solomon, etc. In front of these enemies, Tiamat... is really nothing."

"... Let's go, take me to your world. This world really cannot be taken anymore." Tony was silent for two seconds and then waved his hands frantically. Predator? Alien god? Solomon? Is this an enemy I can deal with? You want me to fight with my head?

I'm not a ceratosaurus!

"Don't say such discouraging words. Tiamat hasn't produced any magical beasts yet, so we still have hope of winning. I suggest you spread the news of Tiamat in the Parthian Empire first. There are still many Semitic people in the Parthian Empire, or to be more precise, in the Mesopotamian region under our feet. They are familiar with Mesopotamian mythology and naturally understand what the resurrection of Tiamat means."

"I see." Tony nodded thoughtfully.

Although Tony changed his opponent because of the coming of Tiamat and identified his main opponent as Tiamat, the Roman Empire and the Parthian Empire were still at war. If Tony asked people to spread the news of Tiamat's advent, the Semitic people who were familiar with Mesopotamian mythology would naturally understand what it meant, and then the rest... would naturally be the fluctuation of public sentiment in the Mesopotamian region, which would force the Parthian Empire to divert its attention to suppressing the people and relieving the pressure on the front line while dealing with the Roman Empire.

At Shen Xiaofan's suggestion, Tony first sent people to spread the news of Tiamat's resurrection. As Shen Xiaofan expected, the Semites were familiar with their own mythology. When they learned that Tiamat was resurrected, these Semites almost exploded on the spot.

Tiamat! The creator god of Mesopotamian mythology, now the mother of all beasts, what does her resurrection mean? It means that she will punish those rebellious sons who betrayed her!

And these rebellious sons naturally include God and humans!

"Damn it, why would that monster be Tiamat?!" Tiridates had of course long known the news that there were monsters helping his side to attack the Roman navy, but he had never imagined that this so-called monster was actually Tiamat!

Tiridates was not a Semite, he was a pure Parthian, but he had been here for so long that he had heard about Mesopotamian mythology to some extent. He certainly knew what Tiamat was, and he even understood what kind of turmoil would occur in the entire Mesopotamian region if this news leaked!

And the most disgusting thing is that there is a rumor circulating in the Mesopotamian region that Tiamat was summoned by Vologases I at the cost of countless lives, with the purpose of killing everyone!

Yes, that's right, not to kill all the enemies, but to kill all the invaders!

Both the Romans and the Parthians were within Tiamat's attack range.

What? You say it's impossible?

Sorry, this is actually possible.

The Parthian Empire summoned a monster to resist the Roman navy in the Persian Gulf. This was the news officially announced by the Parthian Empire itself, right?

Well, now it has been confirmed that this monster is Tiamat.

Tiamat was killed by the Mesopotamian gods, right? Before she died, she bred many monsters to defend against gods and humans, right?

Now, she is resurrected, Tiamat who was killed by the gods is resurrected, do you think she will like humans and gods?

No, she may only want to do one thing, which is to kill all these gods and humans!

Chapter 533: The Disaster Beast Rejected by People

At the mouth of the Euphrates River, in an unknown fishing village.

That afternoon, an old fisherman came back from the sea in his small wooden boat. He opened the door and put the fish basket near the stove. He then scooped some water from the pottery jar next to him to wash his hands and face. He shook his head and muttered to himself, "It's getting harder and harder to catch these fish."

As for fishermen, they make a living by fishing. They just make a living by fishing every day. If they have extra fish, they will sell them in the town in exchange for some salt or vegetables. In short, as long as they can ensure that they don't starve to death, that's enough.

What? You mean war?

What does war have to do with fishermen like this?

This fisherman was also a soldier when he was young, and he served for more than ten years. Although he was still a soldier when he retired, he understood a little bit. When two countries are at war, how can you cause casualties to the enemy? Or, you can attack some big cities, or you can completely wipe out a main force of the enemy.

As for this fishing village...it's not a strategic point. Who would have the time to attack a small village that has no strategic value?

And... although we heard that a huge monster appeared in the open sea, this monster currently has no impact on this small fishing village. Or it might be better to say that the appearance of this monster has led to more fish near the fishing village?

Well, anyway, the appearance of the monster is a good thing for this small fishing village, isn't it?

He poured some clean water into the pot, lit the firewood, poured some salt into the water, and then the old fisherman took some kelp from another small basket and threw it into the pot.

I don’t know why, but if you want to cook soup, throw some kelp into the pot, the taste of the soup... seems to be much better than without the kelp.

Just as the old man was concentrating on cooking his fish soup, there was suddenly a burst of commotion outside the house.

"What happened?" The old man opened the window and looked at a young man in the village. This young man was famous for his courage in the village. It was said that he encountered a lion in another place a few days ago, and then he killed the lion by himself. It can be said that he was famous for his good skills among the younger generation in this village.

But such a young man who dared to fight a lion now had a panic-stricken look on his face, as if there was some beast behind him that was more terrifying than a lion.

"Uncle! What are you still doing at home? Monster! A monster is coming!" The young man stopped, looked at the old man anxiously, pointed at the sea behind him and shouted to the old man.

Monster?

Hearing this word, the old fisherman subconsciously looked towards the sea not far away, and saw more than a dozen monsters he had never seen before approaching the village with their fangs and claws bared.

"What's this?!"

Looking at the monster rushing towards the village, the fisherman quickly retracted his head. At this moment, he didn't care about the fish soup that had not yet been cooked on his stove. In a hurry, he could only grab the harpoon and backpack next to him, rushed out of the room, and ran towards the hillside not far away.

Tiamat, who was in a light sleep, woke up!

As mentioned before, Tiamat was in a state of light sleep when she was summoned to this world. At this time, Tiamat was harmless and would only follow her instincts to attack those who approached her. But now, Tiamat has awakened. Although she still follows her instincts, she... well, the awakened Tiamat can give birth to cubs.

Besides Warcraft, are there any other offspring that Tima will give birth to at this moment?

Gone.
