Chapter 678: A New War Begins
It's as if the end of the world has suddenly arrived, or alien warships are all over the sky.
The footage from the movie becomes a reality.
Modern people, who have already been influenced by all kinds of information, are more panicked about this change, because they have never known and are powerless to change, and the originally peaceful future seems to suddenly become completely unknown, and most of them will become the background of a sentence in the narration.
Thankfully, Artoria didn't let the panic last long.
She was quick to explain.
"Because of the advent of an being who could destroy the world in a year, we and some of the chosen ones in the world have been endowed with immeasurable and terrifying power." Artoria stretched out her palm and placed it on the hilt of the sword at her waist, and suddenly drew her sword, which was considered kingship.
This sudden change made everyone present startled.
Then, Artoria drew her sword.
The sharp sword bloomed with a bright and scorching light, and the wind began to surge, and even the audience in front of the TV could feel the power of the scene from the hair and clothes of the reporters, and the next moment, the light surged into the sky, and when switched to the picture shot by the drone, a huge pillar of light shot straight into the sky, and in an instant, the thick clouds were instantly dispersed, and with the gentle sliding of the sword, a trace that stretched to the eye lens appeared in the clouds.
There is no sound, only pictures.
But it was more spectacular than any special effects, and everyone in front of the TV was suffocated for a moment.
Cut through the clouds and cut through the sky.
Nuclear weapons may have a more spectacular effect, but the combination of that weapon and the power of one person is enough to make people fall into an unspeakable shock.
The scene rewinds, as if Artoria had just slashed a sword at random, and put the sword back into its sheath.
"I only used less than thirty percent of the strength of this sword." Artoria's voice pulled everyone back from their dreams, and when the reporters realized what King Arthur was saying, the inhalation sounds on the TV screen almost became one.
"And that's not even counting special skills." Artoria continued, "To put it more figuratively, my current strength, to destroy this kingdom, only a few minutes, modern weapons have no effect on me, everyone, the arrival of God has violently changed the old power system, your weapons can no longer protect you, this is the reason why I must stand up......"
If it wasn't Kiritsugu Emiya who summoned Artoria, maybe she wouldn't have this kind of crisis.
However, people like Emiya Kiritsugu also gained power.
Even if God decrees that the slaughter of people is not allowed, a person with such power is enough to start a war even if he does not act himself, and his peace must be built on countless blood, and the best result will be at the expense of people's freedom and daily life.
This day will surely go down in history for the billions of human beings in this world.
The history of mankind will be dramatically changed.
And where it will go, no one knows.
Because it is no longer up to the human beings to decide, but to the Heroic Spirits and the "Divine Ones".
Lorelei watched the whole press conference with a blank face.
She watched as Artoria explained the Heroic Spirit, explained magic, explained the "Gift of God" like everyone else, and even told stories from the time of King Arthur, proving that the legends did exist......
This kind of thing that was the enemy of all magicians in the past, in this moment, there is no one to stop it.
There are even magicians applauding and performing.
Until the end.
Lorelei suddenly understood.
This is war.
It is a war that bets on the glory of the nobility, on the world, on the future, on one's own wishes, on one's everything, on one's own meaning.
"Barsermelo will not be afraid of any war." Lorelei's gaze sharpened like never before, "God's game? No, this is the battlefield of the gods, and the entire Chamber of Commerce is a huge battlefield, and only by winning can you grasp your wishes! ”
"What should we do?" Tosaka Tokitomi looked at Lorelei and asked.
He was just as angry.
As a magician, as an aristocratic person, his own strength, knowledge, and status are all honors that need to be guarded, and what Artoria has done is undoubtedly destroying all this.
"Win this event first."
Lorelei took a deep breath, as if she wanted to say something more.
But at this time.
The golden light suddenly bloomed from the mansion, and the boundless majesty expanded unreservedly, but for a moment, half of the people of Fuyuki City looked in this direction in horror, looking at the existence that was like the sun slowly rising in the sky.
"Interesting, interesting." A man's voice resounded throughout the city, "There are miscellaneous cultivators who ascended to the throne one step ahead of this king, but it doesn't matter, the hero who is truly called the king, there is only this king in heaven and earth, surrender, the people who look up to this king's posture, the whole world will be the treasure house of this king!" ”
At this time, there is only one person who can show his heroic posture to the world and make such a declaration.
Tosaka's expression changed and changed.
He should have thought of it.
King Arthur became the living king, and how could Gilgamesh fall behind.
In terms of Gilgamesh's profession, he is afraid that what he wants to do, no, will do, is to bring the population of the whole world into his kingdom of God and become his power.
"Tosaka Tokitomi." Luo Relei looked at Tosaka Tokitomi with a calm expression, "Make your choice." ”
Tosaka Tosaka's face changed and changed.
Finally stand firm.
"I respect the nobility of the king, but that does not mean that I need to abandon my own glory."
There is nothing to hesitate about.
Tosaka was respectful, not subservient, to Gilgamesh.
Not to mention.
He is also the pot opener now, and in the presence of God, even the most ancient kings stand on the same qualifications as him, and the true glory of nobility never depends on the rewards of others, but on their own efforts.
"Then we are enemies with the king." Luo Relei squeezed out a smile, "Tosaka Shichen, open the can, I will invest in you." ”
Tosaka Tokitomi did not open the can to the limit.
Because there is no money.
He was originally a courtier of Gilgamesh, but in order not to be seen as a provocation by the arrogant king, Lorelei did not provide funds for Tosaka's ministers.
Now it's different.
Like King Arthur, the heroic king who has gone on the path to becoming the king of the world has become an enemy of the aristocratic who represents the old world order.
So.
A new war began.
Silent in his small room, silently watching the changes in the world.
