Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

But who would have thought that someone who seems to be associated with the church would have such a high degree of 'blessing of denying human reason'? Although many of the twenty-seven patriarchs did believe in one God, it is still too... unpredictable.

As Nzabi disappeared, the chaos gradually subsided. The space in the corner of the concert hall, which had previously served as a temporary refuge, was now filled with a sense of relief after the fear had subsided, as well as the exhaustion that followed the great battle.

The anxious people who had gathered together were relieved to see that each other had survived the crisis and tried to contact their family and friends.

At the same time, Novia, who was on the body of Ayumi, also saw Erisa being supported by Fran. Just as he was thinking about how to explain, he suddenly realized that Erisa was different now. Her hair had grown longer, and her eyes showed an undisguised divinity.

Eri... has broken through the limitations of the River of Oblivion?

"Ah, that guy has arrived..."

At that moment, Eri, who had returned to her divine state, trembled when she saw the silver-haired bead.

Originally, she thought of the Demon King, who had placed his hopes on her humanity, as 'How dare he ignore someone as cute as me, he deserves to die!' But now, the Yomi no Mi, who has the blood of Izanami, holds a deep reverence for him that can be described as pure and flawless.

So, regarding her own human nature, thoughts like, "Why does this strange guy stir my emotions so much? Why can't I accept him like others do, like I accept a Servant normally?" Long-haired Eri now thinks, "I think I actually like him a little bit, oh right, why think so much? If I like him, I'll just say so. If I don't want to, then I'll say it."

Like being the first to say who you like or dislike, even if you're a tsundere, you should still be a little coquettish.

"—Excuse me."

Long-haired Erise summons the Demon King.

It was a deep and beautiful voice.

At the same time, she smiled, a gentle smile that made one doubt their own eyes, making it hard to believe that Eri was only this old.

"Could you please return to me now, my Demon King?"

Then--

"oops."

Eri, with her long hair, blinked.

Inside the now-calm concert hall, several figures, not the security guards who arrived late, finally appeared.

Novia had a very bad feeling when she saw Black Saber appear.

Since London and Shinjuku are now so similar in layout, and Saber Alter has arrived, then Jeanne Alter will probably follow suit...

"No, this piercing woman is troublesome. I know that, and I hope you will forgive me."

Hei Dai shrugged. "Of course, it's fine if you don't forgive him. Just lock him up in jail and stop his magic supply for a few days, and he'll behave."

"Yes! That's what I think too!"

Alter Lily jumped down and gave a spirited salute, "I came because I sensed the presence of the Dragon Husband! That's right, Da-da and I arrived seven days ago."

Seven days—that's exactly the time it took me, Eri, and Arisu to leave Akihabara and arrive in London…

"Ahem, who's like that? I'm not..."

Finally, Jeanne Alter jumped over and slowly covered her mouth with a handkerchief. "But where is he?"

……

It was a dark place, perhaps even some kind of mosaic city.

However, the air was filled with a rather strong aroma of wine, an aroma that, like the darkness of the room, had lingered for decades.

A man wearing a Hawaiian shirt with a floral print was lying in the middle, and a guitar was left in the corner.

"In the end, I was the only one who got to drink it."

He whispered with his aging eyes.

He held an old wine bottle in his hand.

The liquid in the bottle dripped into the glass in front of him. Although there was a considerable amount, his cheeks did not even flush in the darkness.

Considering his true identity, this is perhaps to be expected.

The man is the wandering singer Kuchimu, who also appears in Fr. His true identity in "The Second Adventure" is Bai Ruolong, a Greek god who was allowed to walk on the earth by the magician Giz of the Wandering Sea using the Gate of Contract, one of the eight gates of the Wandering Sea.

The ancient deity Zagreus is said to be an incarnation of Dionysus, the son of Zeus.

In another world, when Novia was known as Avia, he once fought against Kichijoin, who was holding the Holy Scripture, at Giz's request. He was defeated in the end, and later, because he had the fragment of Typhon that he had devoured, he met with Avia.

Considering that even the Clock Tower has been disbanded in the new era of Fr, the other two organizations are probably even more secretive about themselves now that they are above sea level.

Fourteen years ago, Dionysus, who was walking the world, participated in the Holy Grail War and summoned himself from the Throne of Heroes, but was ultimately defeated in the Holy Grail War that took place in Florida.

The reason is self-evident: the god-era magicians Giz and Dionysus of the Wandering Sea were no match for Mote, the god of death of Canaan. Therefore, even the divine experiment that Giz and two other magicians had been planning in this world for two thousand years, which devoured the three gods, was also taken away.

That plan to create a planet, to create a new planet for primates—

Mote, the Canaanite god of death, plans to use everything on the sea planet where the Canaanite faith no longer exists as raw materials to recreate a new star with his mythology and core... However, according to the information from the rotten eye, the final victor of the global Holy Grail War is Chitose Masuru, who defeated the Cyclic Serpent Ouroboros.

Kuchimu didn't believe that Mot, who defeated the chief god Baal in mythology, would fail; he must be hiding somewhere to continue his plan.

He wanted to make a change, but unfortunately, communication between different regions was blocked in the new era, and he was severely damaged and could hardly maintain it, so he could only drink the remaining wine in this place.

"You old rascal, if you love humans so much, why don't you come out and save them now..."

If one wishes to use everything in this world as raw materials to create a brand new star, then the place of sacrifice must be—

That's the Himalayas, the place closest to the sky.

In this silver world, as far as the eye can see, there is only an endless expanse of silver land and a pitch-black sky.

Even though the sea level has been rising since the beginning of the new era, it still cannot bury this place.

At this very moment, in the middle of all this, there is a man.

"...Bali."

The man whispered the name of his brother, whom he had killed, as if exhaling foam. As the Grim Reaper, he was surrounded by pure white flames, his arms outstretched as if he were nailed to a cross.

Mot, the god of death in Canaan.

Then, his whispers were enough to send chills down the spines of anyone who heard them.

"The time for everything to change is coming soon. After I use death to completely eradicate that thing rooted in the Holy Grail system, when the new world reveres my name, I will become the true second eternal Venerable One of Canaan and even the whole world."

In the Old Testament, the eternal and ever-present Venerable refers to Yahweh, while in Canaanite mythology, it refers to the original supreme god El.

Based on the fact that the Jews opposed the pagan gods worshipped by the Canaanites in the Old Testament, but never opposed the worship of El, and that Deuteronomy often combines El with Yahweh, the Almighty God (El Shadday) is one of the many variations of the word El.

Therefore, the two were once considered as one, that is, the saying that El is Yahweh of the Old Testament.

Chapter 493 The Lord of the Center of the Universe, the Origin of Japan.

Silver-haired Yuuka and long-haired Eri, along with the others, then met with Detective Irene, who was in charge of the city's security, and the guards at Scotland Yard.

The meeting did not take place in the interrogation room; the detective specifically invited those who were present at the scene of Holmes' death and the concert commotion to a secret archive room where ordinary people were not allowed to enter.

Regarding the Alter Jeanne trio, she subtly indicated that the risk of Alter-ified Servants was currently too high, and they could not enter for the time being.

Moriarty, who was of the Arbiter class, was not so lucky and was placed under strict guard.

The reason is quite simple: besides the deaths that occurred one after another within a single day, an unexpected yet perfectly logical figure appeared outside Scotland Yard, the most important spiritual vein node in the detective city, at the moment of the concert attack—

James Moriarty, who should have been imprisoned for seven years at the Clock Tower site for affecting the London Barrier, brazenly appeared here.

“We have given London sufficient warnings, which would have been enough, but since Holmes is so defiant and refuses to let us meet with a certain person, we have decided to try and catch a glimpse of that person…”

With the sound of gunfire, a magical bullet shattered the silence and pierced him, then transformed into a watery state the next second; in other words, it was just a puppet constructed with magic.

"At the time, we thought the main target would be Scotland Yard, so we took many measures there, but we didn't expect..."

If Enzambly's attack had not been on the concert in the ruined city, but on Scotland Yard, and had succeeded, not only would the barrier covering the entire city of London have collapsed, but most of the Servants in London who draw magic power from the ley lines would likely have been paralyzed.

"...Huh? Dad actually came out?"

However, Eileen shook her head in denial of Fran's words.

"No, we've already checked on that. Moriarty is still imprisoned. Perhaps he's another James Moriarty, summoned by the Holy Grail."

Eileen pulled a file from the archives and continued speaking with an extremely bitter expression.

"...Of course, there is also the possibility that it was what Moriarty said when he was imprisoned."

"Ok?"

Silver-haired Youzhu smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Let me guess, did Moriarty say seven years ago that the one who was imprisoned was the good side, and the one who actually did the work was the bad side? Did you let the culprit who committed all the evil escape?"

In the subspecies singularity of Shinjuku, Baal, the demon pillar seeking revenge against Chaldea, and Moriarty, who wants to surpass Sherlock Holmes, are able to understand each other and form an alliance. In order to ensure the success of the plan, Moriarty resorts to behavior that is completely unpredictable to Sherlock Holmes, namely, to take a gamble that is reckless and desperate.

It is precisely because Holmes fully understands Moriarty that he finds it so hard to believe.

In short, the good Moriarty is the original being who forcibly implanted goodness, while the evil Moriarty is someone else who altered memories.

Perhaps the same is true in this detective city.

“I didn’t expect you to be like this, Miss Kuonji… But that is indeed Moriarty’s favorite line when he appealed. At that time, the Spirit Origin detection also confirmed that the Spirit Origin strength was only half of the normal level, but we didn’t take it seriously.”

"Huh? But I've never heard Dad say anything like that when I visited him over the years..."

Fran crossed his arms behind his back and paced around the archives. "I'm furious! How dare they do this! I'm not going to see Fran this month!"

"Besides, there's one more thing."

Eileen pulled out another file. "This is information about Holmes left behind before his death. After all, you came from Akihabara because he privately asked you to return the collection, so I think this should be related to you."

After saying that, an electronic image appeared in the file, showing Holmes, who had died in front of the statue of the Three Fates, drawing a circle in a hidden corner of the statue.

After handing over this intelligence, Eileen's answer regarding the dangers threatening London's safety was concise and to the point—

Leave it to Scotland Yard, its followers, and the detectives.

She stated that since the external threat has surfaced, in order to prevent chaos in London, she is willing to fully assist the silver-haired beaded group invited by Holmes in handling related matters... If they wish to see Moriarty, they can apply without having to abide by the seven-day rule.

The detective city of London will use the 'mystery' left behind by the deceased great detective to guard against anyone who attempts to harm the city.

Although Holmes' death was a certainty, the people of London were not disheartened at all; instead, they quickly returned to their normal lives.

In their eyes, Sherlock Holmes was a remarkable figure.

He must have known all along that things would turn out this way, and he anticipated that the people of London would feel sorrow, so he secretly chuckled to himself.

Indeed, the people of London believe that Sherlock Holmes will be resurrected in Reichenbach's story...

In a sense, Servants of the new era will indeed be resurrected, but they will be completely new Servants because they will have no memories of the past.

……

With a slightly gloomy mood, the long-haired Eri and the silver-haired Arisa walked out of Scotland Yard and headed towards the reception room.

Now that things have come to this, Novia can guess that Holmes most likely died at the hands of one of Mort's grim reapers.

This can be seen from the two collections that were handed over: the Balthazar stele, symbolizing the bull altar of El.

The former is self-evident, symbolizing the possibility that Set once became the Canaanite king, while the latter represents El's 'right of succession', because in the Canaanite mythology, the only one El declared as his successor in the battle for the second generation of kings was the sea god Yam.

If nothing unexpected happens, the rise in global water levels after the start of the new era should be due to Mott using Yam's powers. After all, Yam has the dual nature of being both a god and a monster. She is both the body of the sea and the ruler of all waters, as well as a seven-headed water monster.

Alter is talking to a police officer dressed as a detective, while Alter Jeanne Lily seems to want to interrupt, but ultimately doesn't say anything.

"I see. If I participate, then the peace and future of London will fall on my shoulders, won't it?"

"Hmm, although this job is dangerous and often incurs resentment from certain individuals, and even when there is no work, there is still the risk of being retaliated against, it must be easy for you, the former King of Britain, right? If we had known about you earlier, we should have found you sooner."

"Being a righteous king is really not easy."

The black-haired man, sipping his cola, waved his hand dismissively. "So, I'm sorry, please allow me to refuse."

With each step Alter took after turning around, a strange sense of intimidation emanated from him, making the darkness itself exude an aura befitting Alter's majesty.

Then he bumped into a group of people who were walking out of the archives.

"Hey, Piercing Woman, the guys you've been longing for are here. Why don't you come out and say something?"

"No, shut up, you disgusting woman."

Clutching Lily, Jeanne Alter retorted indignantly, "I just went to take a casual look!"

They acted very naturally towards the silver-haired, pearl-adorned, large and small Black Jeanne. They had initially thought it was Novia who had come, but they found nothing.

"Huh? Wasn't it because I was thinking that I would be happy to see Ryufu that I came here? And I was really excited at that time, Lily, I know that perfectly well."

"No, let's not talk about trivial things! In short, it was just an accident, and I didn't want to come at all!"

"Of course, because 'I' have always had a strong instinct to refute."

Jeanne Alter blushed red after being exposed, while Lily Alter in her arms looked smug.
