Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

Because it was a being that could leave even non-god-level servants speechless, manifesting itself in this land.

The most powerful and supreme god of the ancient Central and South American world—no, even today, the most powerful god of American mythology—appeared in the Holy Grail War.

To this day, the local praise is expressed in this way:

O great and all-powerful loving-kindness, O joyful owner of the universe, you are the fifth sun, the only sun that illuminates all things.

Under your light, we have no mind to be afraid, no will to submit, and no voice to disregard suffering.

You yourself are the sun.

264: Amaterasu is also a sun goddess☆ (4k)

"That aura, there's no mistake..."

The magician Shishikatsu Kairi, employed by the Magic Association, summoned Mordred, a Knight of the Round Table and a swordsman from the Red faction.

At this moment, this Master and Servant are in the church on Mount Sigishvara. This city was formed in the 12th century due to the Saxon invasion and retains many medieval European landscapes.

This city is the closest to Torifas and is located on the border where the Red Party's presence will not be detected by the Yggdrasil Clan and its servants.

Using this place as a base for the Red Faction is indeed a smart choice, since Tolifas, which belongs to the Thousand World Tree domain, is too dangerous, but Bucharest is too far away.

Seemingly noticing Mordred's surprise beneath the armor in his spirit form, Lion's Claw, having just emerged from that dreamlike state, asked with interest:

"Can't be wrong?"

"King of the Storms".

This statement left Lion Robber speechless for a moment.

"That's the sun god from South American mythology, not King Arthur."

"...Father abandoned the Holy Sword and chose the Storm before completely transforming the Holy Lance. Although I don't know if that Sun God possesses the aura of a storm," Mordred declared, head held high. "But I will challenge him! If I succeed, then I can also tell Father that I am the King of the Storms!"

"That is a being from the Age of Gods. In the legends of the world, it is equivalent to the 'sun' of the god-king Zeus and the great god Odin. No matter how you look at it, it is difficult... But it must have been downgraded to be able to appear, so it is not impossible that there is a chance."

Lion's Roar calmed Mordred down as he spoke excitedly.

Although the power displayed by that sun god was truly terrifying, the red side has seven Servants, so it's possible for them to attack together.

It's hard to imagine that the Yggdrasil family could obtain this sacred relic of the main god...

Danic bought the championship title, didn't he? I didn't expect him to be so lucky.

"No, no, no, if it's the sun, no matter how many people gather, it will be difficult to fight against it."

As soon as Lion Robber opened the door, he heard a voice that sounded extremely lively, like that of a wild animal. Judging from the reply, it seemed that the voice had been eavesdropping on his conversation with the swordsman. He glanced at the voice and saw a pink-haired girl with fox ears.

Servant?

Lion's Roar surveyed the room, where there were three followers and one human.

The innocent-looking boy dressed in a church priest's robe must be Kotomine Shiro, who invited him here.

As for the other Servants...

"The Red Spearman, the Ancestor of the Roman Gods, and the Founding King Romulus."

The spearman with bronze and crimson eyes spoke calmly, arms crossed.

"Red Sorcerer, you can call me Hua☆... ah no, let's stick with Tamamo-no-Mae, that name sounds better☆"

The petite, large monster, radiating a lively aura, laughed as she spoke.

"...The Red Assassin, Semiramis."

A sweet fragrance wafted over, and the empress, dressed entirely in a black dress, wore a faint smile.

"Since you've all introduced yourselves, there's no need for me to hide anything."

Mordred, now fully armored and standing beside Lion's Den, dispelled his spirit form and spoke with considerable pride.

"I am Mordred, a knight under the great King Arthur, a Knight of the Round Table!"

“Ah, is that so?” Romulus said with a smile. “Very good, very spirited! Everything in Rome is protecting you.”

".....Eh?"

"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, Romulus sees everyone as Rome."

Upon hearing this, Amakusa Shiro, who was using the alias Kotomine Shiro, and his servant, the assassin Semiramis, exchanged a glance and sighed.

After all, they didn't reveal their Servant's name at the beginning. The real name is the most important information for the user, so it can't be revealed casually. Once the real name is known, the user will know what the Noble Phantasm is, what the weakness is, and even what the user is good at.

However, just as the Black faction had Artos, the Red faction had Romulus and a great demon who was suspected to be Tamamo-no-Mae, which made it impossible for them to keep their true names. Therefore, Amakusa Shiro could only let them reveal their true names.

"Let's leave the pleasantries here," Semiramis said coldly. "That one just now was clearly not a Servant like an Arbiter, so it must be a Servant from the opposing Black faction. Tsk, how could such a terrifying god appear? How are we supposed to deal with it?"

“It’s not necessarily a Servant from the Black Faction.” Amakusa Shirou expressed his opinion without hesitation. “All six members of the Black Faction are in Trifas, while that aura came from Bucharest.”

"But no matter what, since they're not here, they're our enemies, and that can't be denied."

“…Indeed.” Amakusa scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled. “Lord Romulus, what are your thoughts?”

Upon hearing this, Romulus simply said, "It's Rome."

"it's a pity."

The arbitrator, who had waited sixty years, sighed softly.

Although the aura of the South American sun god was completely different from that of the church he was familiar with, he keenly sensed 'jubilation' from the foundation of the Bible. It was hard to imagine that the first foundation of humankind, which had lasted for thousands of years, would have such a reaction. Moreover, he saw 'light' in that sun god whose face was half covered.

Therefore, Amakusa Shiro's mind was in complete turmoil at this moment, and this was probably the first time in his sixty years that he had been so agitated.

Moreover, even without thinking too much about it, such unparalleled strength should not be underestimated.

"I never imagined we'd be fighting the sun! Is there really any hope? How about we try searching for the sun?"

The powerful yokai, suspected to be Tamamo-no-Mae, exaggeratedly pointed a finger upwards towards the top of the hall and said, "Let the sun collide with the sun!"

Although Amakusa Shiro maintained a smile on his face, he had long harbored deep suspicions about the sorcerer.

Since there is no human Master to renounce the magic power of the mortal world, it's as if she suddenly appeared and brazenly said that the magic power maintaining her appearance is that stone, and that she came with the incense money... Even when asked for her name, she said that she could be called Tamamo-no-Mae, or if that didn't work, she could be called the fox. For these reasons, it seems very suspicious no matter how you look at it.

However, seeing that Romulus didn't react much, Amakusa decided not to pay much attention to him, since he was just a sorcerer and couldn't cause any big trouble.

"Who cares if it's some kind of sun? Leave it to me, Master! You're the only knight who surpasses even Father!"

It is said that when summoning a servant, it is more likely to encounter an entity that is similar to the summoner on a spiritual level.

In this respect, Lion's Robbery and Mordred are quite similar in their overconfidence.

"You actually have the courage to challenge the sun! How wonderful!" The pink-haired fox smiled slightly. "But be careful, you might end up like a moth drawn to a flame! ☆ Although the sun is warm, it's just an illusion created by distance. If you get too close, everything will instantly turn to dust!"

"Hey, you! You're boosting others' morale while belittling your own. I'm really not happy about that."

Mordred retorted with a displeased expression, feeling that if Tamamo-no-Mae said anything more to provoke her, she might just chop her up.

"I'm just telling the truth☆ After all, Xiao Mo isn't from the Age of Gods, how could she possibly imagine the power of the sun~"

“Yeah, after all, it’s an American myth where the sun god is the supreme deity.” Lion Robber touched his sunglasses and complained, “Among all the major mythologies in the world that have the sun as the strongest god, there must only be the Americas, Egypt, and the Celts. And it seems that the one can summon his subordinates or something. But it’s hard to imagine that such a being would participate in the Holy Grail ritual. He can get whatever he wants so easily.”

Indeed, while the sun and moon are revered figures in various mythologies worldwide, only a handful are designated as major deities.

"No, no, besides the Americas and Egypt, Amaterasu Omikami in Japan is also a sun goddess. She is a deification of the sun, and her existence is synonymous with the sun disc."

Tamamo-no-Mae made an 'X' gesture with her hands as she spoke.

"...Is Amaterasu really that powerful?"

Upon hearing Tamamo-no-Mae exclaim "Amaterasu!" in this way, Shishikatsu began to doubt whether the myths he had heard in Japan were different from those of ancient times.

After all, although he is now a bounty hunter wandering the bloody battlefield, he was born and raised in Japan. Therefore, he felt that Amaterasu, who is a "homebody" in modern terms, was not that powerful, even though she is a rare sun goddess.

"Huh? Do you perhaps have a problem with Amaterasu-no-Omikami, the sun goddess?"

For some reason, this rather small Tamamo-no-Mae seems to value the majesty of Amaterasu.

After a moment of silence, Lion's Roar spoke nonchalantly:

"It's alright, since we're not very familiar with each other."

"What a faithless guy. Be careful he doesn't get burned by the sun one day. A sun in a bad mood can be just like a delinquent, making the world roar."

"Then she might really burn me alive."

Lion's Roar smiled and then prepared to leave the central hall.

"Where are you going?"

“We plan to act on our own. Fortunately, my servant is a swordsman, so there won’t be any obstacles even if we act alone.”

"I see. It's such a pity we can't be together."

Amakusa Shiro scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled, as he watched Shishikai and Mordred leave.

After a while, he asked, somewhat puzzled:

"Speaking of which, what about Sparta? I remember calling him."

Amakusa Shiro's question brought the muttering sorcerer to an abrupt halt.

The pink-haired fox's smile vanished, replaced by a bored expression:

"Damn it, I never expected that guy to leave shouting things like 'Sun!' 'Resist oppression!' 'Light!' In short, he's already heading towards Triphass. Damn it, I specifically told him to go to Bucharest, but he stubbornly went straight to Triphass. The archer witness has already gone to find him..."

"Is that so, Spartacus?"

"Oh dear, this is a real headache."

The God Ancestor sighed, while Amakusa Shiro muttered in a leisurely tone.

After all, he didn't care much about Sparta as a berserker, and since he wasn't prepared at all, it seemed he had no choice but to abandon Sparta.

However, Romulus's subsequent rise caused the leisurely Amakusa Shiro to sigh slightly.

"You don't have to get into such a dangerous situation because of this."

"For that glorious warrior, that is my sin."

Unable to force the issue, Amakusa Shiro could only watch as the god departed.

"They're all so self-centered~ They don't seem to have any idea about teamwork at all, sigh."

As the sorcerer sighed, a pigeon landed in the hands of the Assyrian empress; it was her familiar.

"The berserkers are about to arrive at Torifas, and the archers and cavalry have already gone there as well."

"Oh, that brat cavalryman went too?"

"Perhaps it's because he and the archers are from the same hometown."

"That's true, Achilles and Atalanta are both from that pile of Greek junk..."

Since the warlock's words were always strange, the Arbiter and the Assassin didn't pay much attention to them.

Not long after, another pigeon landed. Semiramis received the pigeon's message and looked at his Master.

"It looks like your most vigilant target has arrived."

Upon hearing her say that, the man's previously leisurely gaze, which seemed to be gazing into the distance, suddenly turned into obvious hostility.

The hostility did not stem from hatred, but from the fact that the other party was the only being in the world he absolutely had to defeat.

"The Arbiter".

"It's been confirmed that the guy has entered Romania and is currently heading towards... Bucharest. It's probably because of that South American sun god."

The Assyrian Empress's intelligence network, comprised of pigeons, spread throughout Romania. These pigeons, acting as assassin scouts, could detect the undeniable flow of magical power emanating from Servants.

"If she can unite with that sun, things will be very bad."

This is arguably the strongest being in this Holy Grail War, and both Black and Red are extremely cautious, not daring to make contact easily, except—

The Savior of France.

"They're hard to kill, but the fact that they didn't arrive immediately is a way to buy time, so let's ignore them for now."

After all, Amakusa Shiro couldn't find anyone to deal with the other arbitrator, Jeanne d'Arc, in the short term.

Swordsmanship wasn't for him; Romulus had his own plans. Achilles, Atalanta, and Spartacus had already gone to Triphass. The Empress's Noble Phantasm wasn't ready yet. As for the only available sorcerer...

"No way, at least not right now. We don't want to be evaporated by the sun like this. That would be too embarrassing."
