Lost Narrative Poetry

Boom——! !

The annihilation stab that shattered the atmosphere shattered the entire platform where the Holy Spear's glory was restrained with one direct blow, almost shattering the entire restraint device and blowing it away!

In the deafening loud noise, it was like the aftermath of a missile being detonated. Countless fragments were like shotguns endowed with kinetic energy, splashing out in all directions like a heavy rain!

"Succeeded!"

A very smooth blow, and the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows immediately felt happy. What she was most afraid of was that the magic gun's annihilating blow fell, but the restraint device in the center of the tower did not move at all. In that case, there was really no hope at all. ...But the situation is obviously not that bad.

The "Pillar of Light" that exuded the brilliance of the stars suddenly crumbled and began to flicker and flicker, like a lightbulb under unstable voltage. Among the countless pieces that shattered and fell like rain, a group of colorful rays of light also appeared. He was shot away by the red magic gun!

It can be seen from this that even in a hurry, Scathach's spear was so superb. With his subtle induction of magic power, he directly determined the precise position of the "energy core" under the platform, and used the magic spear to The brazen blow shattered the restraint device, and at the same time, it flew out without damaging it at all.

Scathach jumped up and appeared directly next to the seven-colored light group, reaching out to grab it.

Yes, this colorful ball of light should be the energy core that restrains the holy spear and drives the device of the holy spear. It is also the ultimate goal of Chaldea's group's trip——

Holy Grail.

Although it is a bit strange, the form really has no meaning, because in essence, the magic power that is so huge that it can distort the times is its foundation. Even if it is known as the universal wish machine, it is just a statement similar to "as long as you have money, you can do whatever you want", and it only shortens the existence of "time".

Make props, build cities, refine the country, recreate the era...

These things that may have taken countless manpower and time to complete can be completed in advance by using huge magic resources to accelerate the process. This is the meaning of the existence of the Holy Grail, so the essence is just a projection from a high-dimensional phase, just a relatively small block. It's just the crystallization of outstanding magic resources.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be a cup, but rather a collection of materialized magic power that is its normal form, which is usually what it is now——

It exudes colorful light, and wherever it passes, the space will be obviously distorted, making the air ripples like water with magical power.

"Matthew!"

Da Vinci shouted, and Matthew quickly reacted. Although she was still sad because of Bedivere's passing, she still knew what she should do most at this time, so she hurried forward to recover the Holy Grail.

The shield made of the round table can not only be used as a protective treasure, but also has the function of containing the Holy Grail. There is a hidden space inside the shield that is specially used to store this kind of magic crystal. The Holy Grail protected in it can be well contained. In the past, the Holy Grail in the singularity was basically recovered through this method.

"It looks smoother than expected..." Seeing Mash successfully put the Holy Grail into the shield, Scathach breathed out softly, but did not relax his vigilance, but stayed by the girl's side. Put on a defensive posture vigilantly.

She didn't believe it would be that simple. The current situation was very likely that the crowned assassin started to tangle with the magician after sending Matthew here. Even if he couldn't win, he still had more or less the background of the crowned spirit base. Being able to delay for a while helped me and others win this opportunity.

Or maybe the magician was really careless and had a teasing mentality, so he didn't kill Assassin immediately and gave them a chance... But after he noticed the problem, he would definitely kill him immediately. , kill Assassin and return here to deal with them.

And Da Vinci obviously thought of this. He immediately waved his long staff, taking the trouble and not stingy with magic power, laying down layer after layer of magic barriers around everyone... Maybe it didn't have any decisive significance, but As long as it can play a small role, it's worth it.

It is very likely that there will be an extremely difficult offensive and defensive battle next...

All they have to do is hold on to the Holy Grail at all costs.

At the same time, the "Pillar of Light" that penetrated the sky and the earth finally disappeared. The holy spear Lungominiad lost its restraint and stable balance, fell to the ground and rolled. It no longer shined, nor radiated the brilliance of the stars. It is a spear that has been restored to a physical form.

Just looking at the appearance, you can’t tell that this is the real body of the legendary Border Tower.

"..."

"..."

really! The people on the Chaldean side were now more convinced of their discovery.

This tower has always played an important role. It is maintaining a giant ritual, and the holy spear is the core of the ritual. Considering that its purpose is to maintain the tower on the surface of the world...

Therefore, the purpose of this ceremony is very likely to distort the world, recreate the age of gods, and use the holy spear to nail the surface of the world to maintain the distorted order, common sense, cognitive laws, etc., and finally stabilize it, creating this The environment and basis of existence of the singularity!

The Holy Grail is the heart of the magic furnace that drives this giant ritual. As long as it is taken away, the ritual that loses the supply of magic power will stop, and the twisted age of the gods can no longer be maintained. The holy spear will also dim, and will no longer have the power to pin down and maintain the distorted "world"!

Perhaps this singularity is really beyond imagination, completely different from all previous singularities, and even so weird that it no longer looks like a singularity at all. But no matter what, logically speaking, the main factor that distorts the era is the Holy Grail.

Therefore, as long as this huge source of magic power is taken away, the artificially recreated Age of Gods will be ended; as long as the factors that distort the era are eliminated, the history of the era will quickly begin to repair itself, correcting all the "abnormalities" that do not belong to this era. .

This is a conclusion inferred based on the existing intelligence. It is reasonable and logical. It also corresponds to the intelligence clues they currently have. It is also the only option they can choose at the moment——

As long as you hold on to the Holy Grail for a short period of time, you can win; as long as you can persist, the entire era will be repaired, and things that should not exist in this era will be sent away.

On the other side, Arturia ignored the actions of the Chaldeans and turned a blind eye to their actions of destroying the binding device of the Holy Spear, seizing the Holy Grail, and taking a stance as if facing a formidable enemy.

Not to mention that this was originally a reward for those who successfully passed the trial, and she was not in the mood to pay attention to these trivial matters now.

"Sir Bedivere..."

She just looked at it with a complicated expression and returned to the golden sword in her hand. There was both nostalgia and emotion in her eyes.

It's just that this kind of performance is completely different from before. Finally, there is a hint of "human" enthusiasm. It is not acting, but it is more deeply rooted in people's hearts, making people unable to question it. Therefore, it also makes everyone on the opposite side more convinced that the previous King Arthur or the Lion King is indeed An abnormal state of complete deification.

Corroded by divinity and losing the values ​​that humans should have.

So there is no way to communicate, no way to communicate.

And Bedivere's act of sacrificing himself and returning the holy sword just now did play a decisive role. Having recalled her memory, she has been liberated, no longer bound by the Holy Spear, and now she has truly transformed back into King Arthur himself... She has no reason to fight with herself and others anymore, so she did not stop what she and others had just done. .

"King Arthur...you have no reason to continue fighting with us now, do you?"

Leonardo da Vinci was paying careful attention to his surroundings while trying to whisper to the slender blond girl.

Since they are no longer enemies, it is natural to try to win over the opponent's strength. If this unimaginably powerful, legendary king of knights could understand the righteousness and turn around to help Chaldea, they would be much more confident in the future.

"...It's not that there's no reason, it's that it's not necessary."

Arturia raised her head, glanced in their direction, remained silent for a while and then said——

"However, I will not apologize for the previous disputes, and I do not believe that my decision was wrong."

"..."

"..."

"Uh, what does this... mean..." Da Vinci subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief because of the first half of his words, but then he felt something was wrong and continued to ask cautiously.

Everyone else subconsciously held their breath, waiting for the king's answer.

"We've come this far, I can't give up on this miracle... Camelot still exists here!" The slender girl as the King of Knights responded coldly. This time she didn't mean to be cold, nor did she deliberately suppress her tone. , but it’s just this that makes people feel even more chilled in their hearts.

It seemed that compared to the previous King of Knights, the current girl, who should have returned to normal, inexplicably became more terrifying, making their hearts feel as if an icicle had been driven into them.

There is not such a happy ending. Bedivere's return of the Holy Sword only freed her from the Holy Spear, but it did not delete her original thoughts... because this was originally an obsession that she could not let go of until her death. So even though King Arthur has returned to normal, he is still unwilling to give up?

Not as extreme as before, but still determined to implement your own ideas? Are you still siding with the magician and fighting to maintain this singularity? Da Vinci thought of all sorts of things in an instant, and felt his cheeks getting sore.

"But you said there was no need to fight us anymore."

At this time, Scathach frowned tightly and took another step closer to Mashu who was firmly holding the cross shield, protecting the latter behind him——

"We will never hand over the Holy Grail..."

"Holy Grail? It's up to you, I don't care about this." The blond girl with blue eyes glanced in the direction of Matthew, and then looked away, "Don't you think that the Holy Grail is the source of everything?"

"Is not it?"

Matthew looked very surprised. He and others were fighting to the death, and finally saw the hope of bypassing the magician and winning, but now he was denied by the King of Knights?

"Of course not. The Holy Grail is only the source of magic power used to drive the Holy Spear, but it is mainly for convenience. It is the same without the Holy Grail..." Artoria, who was in a bad mood, said coldly, "If you just think that taking it away If you get the Holy Grail, you have won the victory, which seems too ridiculous."

"this……"

Matthew suddenly looked in the direction of Da Vinci and Scathach with some confusion.

"Don't listen to her! She wants us to relax our vigilance. I can detect that... the time and space at this singularity has begun to become chaotic."

Scathach shook his head and looked at Artoria calmly and vigilantly. The King of Knights was also in danger now. The power of the holy spear might be temporarily reduced, but the holy sword also returned to her hands, increasing by one. Less equals no weakening.

"An era that should not exist, and "abnormalities" that are incompatible with the entire human history. These things are being eliminated and corrected by the repairing power of human nature. This shows that our inference is correct! "

This can prove that the great magic ritual in this tower has been destroyed!

Whether it is the ritual effects of the distorted era, the holy spear device that stabilizes distortion, or the source of magic power that powers all of the above, they have all been disintegrated from key points! Therefore, Scathach did not believe Artoria's statement at all, and naturally believed that the knight king was unwilling to give up her obsession.

That's why he used such ridiculous words to try to dispel the vigilance of himself and others, and wait for an opportunity to seize the Holy Grail.

After hearing Miss Scathach's explanation, Chaldea and the others felt that it made sense, and immediately became vigilant again, looking at Arturia who had become "uneasy and kind" in their eyes with extreme vigilance. .

"I didn't say that your idea is completely wrong, and I said that using the Holy Grail is mainly for convenience. Isn't that clear enough?"

The King of Knights was not angry, but looked at them with unusual pity: "The concentration of magic power in the atmosphere has not changed at all, which is enough proof! The Holy Grail is only the source of magic power of the Holy Spear, not the source of magic power of this age of gods, so The source of flooding and the world being filled with spiritual energy and mystery is not this at all!”

"this……"

"It seems true. The density of magic power in the air has not decreased..."

Da Vinci also discovered something was wrong. Since, as Miss Scathach said, this singularity is collapsing, everything that does not belong to this era will be corrected, and history will return to its original appearance just like the surface of the water has calmed down. if--

So shouldn’t the first thing to be affected be the ubiquitous magical environment in this era?

The times are disturbed, the distortions of human nature are being repaired, and history that should not have existed is being restored... Even these conceptual things have obviously changed, so theoretically, the ether in the atmosphere should be moving at the fastest speed It’s only right to dissipate like clouds!

However, judging from the fluctuations in magic she felt, although the chaos was raging, there was no sign of decay. This seemed to prove the King of Knights' statement that the real source was not the Holy Grail?

"So what?" Scathach also changed his face slightly, but still insisted on his opinion, "Even if the source is not this, the ritual is still destroyed. When this singularity completely collapses, everything will still return to dust. Return to your homeland!”

"It seems that you still don't understand... the true meaning of that technique." Artoria shook her head, "It's Tiandong's theory."

"Tian Dong said?" Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little confused.

"In human cognition, the earth or the earth is the center of the world. There are nine equidistant heavens outside the earth. The order from the inside to the outside is the moon sky, Mercury sky, Venus sky, sun sky, and Mars sky. The sky, the sky of Jupiter, the sky of Saturn, the sky of fixed stars and the heaven of prime movers..."

As if he understood something in an instant, Da Vinci's face turned pale, as if he was mumbling to himself, or explaining to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"The Supreme Creator drives the stars and heavens and drives the movement of all heavens. This is the first cause, the driving force behind the movement of the world, and the explanation for the movement of the entire world..."

"Yes, and in this technique, he plays the role of the first cause..."

Artoria nodded. She didn't explicitly say who "he" was referring to, but everyone knew who she was talking about——

"Whether it is perspective, power or personality, in this art, he is at the highest level of this world view... He is the driving force behind everything. He can actively create this world. Naturally, it is impossible for him to even repair it. Not even there!”

"On the contrary, you who can't really solve the source are the ones who can't do anything at all! Nothing can be changed! Because since he can cast this spell once, he can cast it a second time and a third time. No matter how much you destroy, It’s all meaningless behavior on the surface!”

"..."

"..."

The calm voice and cold words were like thunder, resounding in the minds of Chaldea and the others, making their thoughts go blank.

The King of Knights, who had said so much in one breath, seemed to be aware of it at this time. She raised her head and looked at the top of the dome. The space where the light beam of the Holy Spear originally penetrated could clearly be seen in the sky and the sky. atmosphere.

"It's started...just watch carefully. He didn't stop you because there was no need to stop you."

"...!!"

Everyone looked up almost subconsciously, and in an instant, the pupils of Scathach, who had high-level clairvoyance, shrank sharply.

Others did not have that kind of vision, but even Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a huge shock and impact in an instant, no less terrifying than the one that faced Sesshōin Kiara not long ago, and there were waves of pain deep in his head. Dizziness emerged, attacking her rationality.

She may not be able to fully understand what Artoria and Leonardo just said, but at this moment, she fully understands what is the first cause and what is the driving force that drives the world - the so-called heavens are the glory of the Creator. The sky is the work of God’s hand!

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the sunlight seemed to be blocked by something.

An obvious shadow outline stretches across the sky, and the shape of a huge hand can be vaguely discerned... Not just them, but almost the entire world and everyone who belongs to this era can see it!

It was as if there was an extremely huge demon in the universe that gently stretched out its hand toward the earth, trying to grab the entire planet in one fell swoop...

The magician, who was in the sky where the power of the spell had not yet completely collapsed and was still maintained, gently reached out and took the concept of planets into his palms, abstracting away time.
