Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

41. Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey

——The Holy Ceremony

That was the culprit that led to the second split of the Round Table.

One day after the Incineration, due to the chaos of time and space, the Lion King, who was drifting in subspace, suddenly appeared in the singularity of Jerusalem.

Looking at the huge light tentacles (golden trees) rising into the sky.

The Lion King, in the name of Arthur Pendragon, calls the names of the Knights of the Round Table to the Throne of Valor.

Of course, the knights responded to the king's call.

No explanation is needed.

No more commands are even needed.

The loyal Knights of the Round Table took action spontaneously.

Thinking about it afterwards, that was probably the biggest problem.

The Lion King's actions from beginning to end are only to materialize the city of Camelot, which drifted from unknown time and space, around the golden tree.

But the Knights of the Round Table acted out of habit, even without orders, around the Lion King.

Occupy Jerusalem, defeat the devil Richard, and defeat the devil.

For the Knights of the Round Table who had won the Dragon Hunting War, this was a normal thing.

But after the demon Richard was eliminated, the real hidden dangers began to emerge.

lion king said:

"Only those who are unsullied can enter the ideal kingdom."

At the beginning of the period, the knights didn't think there was any problem. They just used common sense to understand the meaning of the Lion King's words.

That is to say——

——Even after wiping out Demon Richard and taking away the Holy Grail of Humanity, the singularity still hasn’t been restored.

——There is only one answer. There are other real enemies on this land.

——Refugees suffering from war need protection

——However, no one can guarantee whether there are ‘real enemies’ hidden among these refugees.

This is how normal people understand it:

Because it is impossible to confirm where the real enemy is hiding, when welcoming refugees into the Holy City for refuge, they must first select safe and reliable people to take refuge in the inner city, while others will be turned away for the time being. Place it somewhere outside the city.

This is what normal Knights of the Round Table think.

No one has a problem with this.

Even if the Lion King didn't say more.

So, when the first holy ceremony began, the Lion King selected a few people from the first batch of about 600 refugees as 'unsullied people' - casually and understatedly, he treated other 'filthy people' The knights of the Round Table, whose cheeks were stained red with blood, were stunned when the spirit of the soul waved the killing spear of light.

Immediately, a knight of the Round Table drew his sword angrily. Gahoris roared and slashed at the Lion King, but Lancelot blocked it subconsciously.

The Round Table broke up here.

A part of the round table betrayed and swung their swords at the pure white queen on the throne.

Some people left the Round Table, unable to identify with Shengba, but unable to wield the sword against the Pure White Queen, so they chose silence and exile.

At this time, a turning point occurred.

In the past, the person who led to the first split of the Round Table, Agguiwen, stood up.

The traitorous knight was destroyed.

Then, he found the neutral knights and showed them the dangers of 'filthy souls' - monsters that were seedbed by some unspeakable 'fungus-like' thing.

The real auxiliary minister of Camelot and King Arthur's military advisor, Aguewen took action.

He persuaded his sister Gareth, who was on the verge of mental collapse, and the extremely indifferent Lion King to reach a treaty.

Camelot will be divided into two parts: the 'inner city' and the 'outer city'.

Only those who have passed the holy ceremony can enter the inner city.

The filthy souls that cannot pass the holy ceremony can enter the outer city to live after Gareth is used as a container to absorb the 'fungus' in the body.

"Even an innocent soul may be invaded by those evil things."

Aggui wrote:

"As for the others, since they are useless and filthy, in order to protect those truly pure and innocent souls from the hands of these 'fungi', please, King, set aside a territory for me, and let me make them harmless, Let’s keep it as an experiment to make a gift to protect the innocent soul.”

Ageguiwen's advice was recognized by the Lion King.

Because there is no soul more pure than a heroic spirit.

Ageguiwen tried his best to maintain a delicate balance and maintain the round table that might be fragmented again at any time.

Until this balance came to the brink of collapse again because of Gareth's disappearance.

Inside the Chaldean base.

After listening to the 'truth' revealed by Gareth who was trapped in an underground restraint and restrained in multiple seals, Su Xiaoqiang was stunned.

"The Holy Ceremony mentioned by the Knights of the Round Table is actually something like this! Wait! We got rid of Gareth, so what's going on with Lu Mingfei now!?"

Su Xiaoqiang, who immediately realized the key, turned pale. Because Chaldea was short of manpower, she could only quickly dial the communication and tell this terrible information to Leonardo da Vinci and Roman, who were undergoing renovation work on the pyramids and Cairo City.

Gareth lowered his head, and some kind of milky white sticky hyphae kept coming out of his chapped skin. The moment those hyphae touched the air, they were drawn by Leonardo da Vinci's "Prometheus" The fire of human principles contained in the "Secret Book of Magic" (clay tablet) was burned down.

".And Master Sanzang"

Gareth's whisper was like a prayer.

☆

The branches of the towering golden tree swayed in the calm wind, exuding soft and warm vitality.

In the entire singularity, the attention of everyone who knew the key came to Master Tripitaka.

Lu Mingfei was still sneaking around the walls of Camelot, trying to find a place with a better wifi signal to contact Chaldea, unaware that a powder keg was about to be detonated.

The holy ceremony began.

More than 600 refugees entered the urn of Camelot's city wall through the opened city gate. They looked up at the white goddess on the high wall with uneasiness.

Gawain and Lancelot stood beside the Lion King, and the pure white queen (god) raised her hand.

Then, golden light fell and enveloped the four of them.

".Huh?" Among the refugees, not only Hui made such a voice, "There are only four of us? What will happen to us?"

No one answered his question.

Before the panic spread, the solemn knight surrounding the refugees waved the spear in his hand vigorously, causing the bottom of the weapon to collide with the ground, making a crisp sound, temporarily stopping the spread of anxiety.

Then, the Lion King turned around and left, disappearing. Instead, Master Tripitaka came to the front. She sat cross-legged, suspended in the air, with a colorful halo of Buddha light spreading from behind, and the sound of chanting rang out.

The refugees all felt that something was wrong with their bodies. A strange numbness surged out of their internal organs. Many people knelt on the ground and groaned in pain. White particles kept coming from them. The blood pores of the refugees' bodies were drilled out, and they flocked to Master Tripitaka as if they were being attracted.

".Did you make it?"

Gawain tightened his grip on the sword in his hand, looked serious, and bit his lips.

"——!?"

Suddenly, Master Sanzang's face showed a wave of wavering, and the light of the Sandalwood Merit Buddha also swayed. Sensing something amiss, Lu Mingfei instinctively turned his head and saw that the Buddha's light on Sanzang's body seemed to be appearing in his field of vision.

"What's wrong? Bad signal? The Buddha you called is not in the service area?"

Lu Mingfei, who was inexplicably nervous, started talking nonsense.

But the situation of Master Tripitaka is far worse than imagined - she tried to replace Gareth, imitating the legend of Buddha cutting meat to feed the eagle, and using the idea of ​​"If I don't go to hell, who will?", she used her body as a container to go there. Absorb and seal these evil things.

Everything was still normal.

But suddenly, an inexplicable thought broke into Sanzang's sea of ​​consciousness. He didn't speak, but the strong will interfered with Sanzang's every move, preventing her from sealing the evil things in the "filthy soul" in front of her.

"Woo——"

Sanzang let out a short cry of grief, gritted his teeth, and allowed the blood to flow out of his ear holes, but still insisted on continuing the 'Holy Extraction Ceremony'.

"Amitābha"

——Observation divergence point appears——

[Sanzo is trying to complete the Holy Extraction Ceremony. Seal the ‘fungus’ from the dead body of the sky that resides in the body of the refugee in front of him]

[Difficulty: 50]

[Sanzo’s ‘Reciting of Buddhist Sutras’: 1D100+100 (Zhan Tan Merit Buddha EX) = 93 + 100 = 193 (The Later Story of Journey to the West (Confirmation))]

[Amakusa Shiro Tokisada’s ‘interference’: 1D100+1D50 (Friendship Badge) + 50 (True Holy Grail) = 95 + 25 + 50 = 170 (Fighting of Gods)]

【193-170=23】

【23＜50】

【Shengba.Failure】

Along with the chanting of the 'Sutra', the Buddha's light behind Master Tripitaka suddenly became extremely dazzling. Just as Gao Wen continued to think that he had succeeded, the Buddha's light flourished and then declined. When it dimmed, Master Tripitaka suddenly opened his eyes. A mouthful of black blood spurted out from her eyes, and Lancelot beside her quickly helped her up, preventing her from falling directly to the ground.

"Woo"

Master Tripitaka groaned in pain.

[Unmodified Will Test Difficulty: 80]

[Sanzo’s ‘will’: 1D100=71]

Master Tripitaka couldn't hold on any longer. He was bleeding from his seven orifices and passed out.

Lancelot's face suddenly turned pale, and Gawain closed his eyes.

Then, the voice of the Lion King, as calm and majestic as ever, sounded in the minds of the Knights of the Round Table and the Legion of Solemn Knights.

"Shengba, continue."

What happened next was too much and too sudden.

Everything happened in an instant, so that Lu Mingfei couldn't react.

What happened at this moment——

——One

Because of Sanzang's failure, a distressed refugee approached a nearby solemn knight, and was then killed by the nervous solemn knight with his sword drawn.

——Second

A refugee roared like a beast among the crowd. Chaldea had seen something like that in Gareth before - the 'human pus' overflowed from its body like a dam opening. A refugee turned into a monster, knocked down a solemn knight, and tore him into pieces.

——Third

In the direction of the inner city of the Holy Capital, in the direction where Lu Mingfei came from, there was a huge explosion sound from the R\u0026D factory, and then a blue beam of light shot into the sky.

what happens?

☆

At the same moment when the Holy Ceremony continued, in the R\u0026D factory where Lu Mingfei had stayed all night, magicians recruited by the Knights of the Round Table gathered together to study and discuss the design drawings left by Lu Mingfei. The alchemists and the alchemists looked at what suddenly happened with their mouths open.

In the mountainous pile of materials in the corner of the factory, the remains of the robot monsters and trophies that Sir Lancelot brought back yesterday suddenly turned into countless light particles and disappeared out of thin air.

--wrong

Not disappear, but

"Nanomachines. Reorganizing."

I don’t know who it was that whispered this sentence,

The wreckage brought back by Lancelot - the nanomachines that made up the wreckage were somehow reactivated. After the nanomachines were decomposed, they were reorganized into a horse that was taller than A thirty-meter-long four-legged white mechanical 'creature'——

".A horse with horns?"

The alchemist who recently created this divine creature fell to the ground as if he was shocked by some kind of aura.

After the nanomachines reorganized into something like a 'white horned horse' - a 'unicorn', they began to 'transform' again.

After the 'Unicorn' transformed, it turned into a fifty-meter-tall mechanical giant standing on the earth, exceeding the walls of Camelot. It destroyed the ceiling of the entire R\u0026D factory. It stood up and stood tall. On the earth.

At the same time, the blue light gathered and condensed on the chest of the 'unicorn', and then turned into a blue light pillar towards the sky of Camelot City, rising into the sky!

This is - the legendary 'truth' that ended the Trojan War

Legend has it that at the end of the Trojan War, with the death of Achilles and the war situation getting worse again, the Greek military counselors came up with a plan to abandon the huge wooden horse on the battlefield. Trojan soldiers who did not know the truth carried it to Troy. Inside, while the Trojan contained a large number of Greek soldiers (Achaean soldiers).

In the end, as the enemy was put into the city of Troy, Troy was attacked from both inside and outside and fell. The Greek coalition finally won.

It is also the famous ‘Trojan Horse Strategy’ – ‘Trojan Horse’.

The nano-mechanical beast in front of us is the truth of the legendary 'Trojan Horse'.

The final decisive weapon of the coalition forces in ancient Greek mythology was also the Noble Phantasm that destroyed the Kingdom of Troy.

"——[Troia Ippos]"

——Anti-national treasure

A shattering sound came from the sky, and then, the barrier that covered the entire airspace of Camelot City and materialized the 'national destiny' collapsed.

The magicians and alchemists recruited by Agguiwen were stunned to see everything that happened suddenly.

——But the mutation is not over.

Like an interlocking 'chain plan', when the white humanoid decisive battle weapon stood on the land of the Holy City of Camelot, attracting the attention of almost everyone present, when everyone was shocked, among the researchers Among them, several figures suddenly rushed out.

Instead of charging towards the Greek coalition's final decisive battle weapon, the Mantis Chariot, they rushed towards the armored cavalry named after the Knights of the Round Table that had not yet been completed by the Camelot Army.

"Wait! Those unfinished products can't move at all! There's no way they can beat this thing (the big wooden horse)!"

A magician shouted to the reckless alchemists.

Soon enough, they had penetrated into the armored cavalry, and something incredible happened. The joints of these unfinished Knights of the Round Table mechas suddenly emitted a faint blue light similar to that of a large wooden horse. , and then they actually took action.

".Nanomachines? But why?"

What answered the dull magician was the light of the magic cannon released from the chest of the armored cavalry ‘Tristan’.

The next moment, the confused person who asked the question evaporated into this world.

The invasion of the Holy City has begun.

——to be continued!
