Chapter 387: I, Barbarian
Zheng Shu walked alone in the passage inside the sky courtyard.
It doesn't look like a very large sky garden, but the interior is much wider than the outside because of the magic of space expansion.
In addition, in order to protect the Great Holy Grail, countless rooms are projected by projection magic, and the handle uses various techniques to create an existence similar to the characteristics of a labyrinth.
It feels like falling into a human body, and if it were an ordinary magician or an ordinary servant, it would definitely be lost in this labyrinth forever, unable to get out.
Fortunately, along with the destruction of the rock giants on the periphery, which had completely lost their hands and feet, the internal rubble also appeared, and the originally incomprehensible labyrinth began to appear.
Moreover, the aura of magic that had been cut off by various magic tricks before also emanated, and Zheng Shu was able to find the target he wanted according to the aura of magic.
Along the way, Zheng Shu saw a lot of potholes and crumbs in the passage, and there were some bones next to them that had not been completely shattered into fragments, which should have been killed by the dragon's tooth soldiers, and it seemed that they should have been killed by Cú Chulainn, who had entered here earlier.
Sensing the overall magical aura inside the entire Aerial Courtyard, Zheng Shu walked down a certain passage, and did not stop until he reached a room that looked unusually wide.
"Here...... It should be the previous control room. ”
But looking at the dress in this room, it's not so much a control room as it is the other party's throne.
Zheng Shu stood in the corridor outside the room, the ceiling was too high to be seen, more than a hundred meters long, and at the end of the corridor, a huge iron door could be seen.
It's just that now the heavy iron door has been completely penetrated, revealing the scene inside.
Facing the corridor was an ornate throne, but there was a large hole in the center of the throne that looked like it had been shot through by someone.
The hall inside the room is also surprisingly large, not so much a room as a square, with a broken red carpet covering the entire hall and ornate statues carved into the outer walls.
The signs of destruction on the walls and floors were even more terrifying, and from the remaining traces of magic could be imagined what kind of blows had been inflicted here.
And Zheng Shu sensed the surging magic from the back of this hall, and it seemed that the Great Holy Grail should be at the back of the hall.
"Huh?"
When he came to the hall and thought about how to go, Zheng Shu suddenly saw a figure at the edge of the hall.
Although his face had become a blur of flesh and blood, and the weapon was not by his side, Zheng Shu still recognized the identity of the other party with the unique arm armor on his body.
"Cú Chulainn? You look really embarrassed. ”
Zheng Shu walked up to Cu Chulainn, who was sitting on the edge of the hall, and the other party didn't seem to be responding, only a faint breath indicating that he was still alive.
Although his muscles were extremely tight, Zheng Shu could tell that his eyes and ears should have been damaged, and it looked like they should have been poisoned alive.
As for the muscles of the limbs, they are close to dissolving, and they look like insects that have been caught by spiders and injected with venom, so although he intuitively senses that an enemy is approaching, Cú Chulainn has no ability to resist.
"It's surprising, although you should have suffered some injuries after dealing with the battlefield over there, but I didn't expect to lose so badly in a one-on-one situation."
Although he knew that he couldn't hear it, Zheng Shu couldn't help but tease, of course, he also knew very well that Cú Chulainn had already proved his strength to be able to win inside the Semiramis Treasure.
You must know that in the original book, Mordred obviously had the advantage of sneak attack in the face of Semiramis, but she was still beaten and almost returned to the Holy Grail.
If it weren't for the fact that the Lion Raider injected her with venom serum and risked his life to provide support, I'm afraid Mordred would have been killed without even a chance to resist.
Semiramis's Aerial Courtyard has the effect of being able to cut off the Command, so Cú Chulainn can be considered powerful if he can seriously injure Semiramis when he is alone.
As for how Zheng Shu could see that Semiramis was seriously injured...... He was well aware of the effect of Cúchulainn's treasure, and Esemiramis's character, if it weren't for the fact that her injuries were too serious to take care of the situation here, she would definitely not have allowed Cúchulainn to survive until now.
Zheng Shu raised his hand and pressed it on Cu Chulainn's body, and the "revival" divinity began to work under the drive of huge magical power.
However, because of the previous battle, Zheng Shu's consumption was also very serious, although the magic power was not lacking, but the divinity was basically consumed, so it was just to save Cu Chulainn's life and help him heal his eyes and ears.
As for the muscles that have dissolved like soup, let's wait until the results of this Holy Grail War are known.
"Multi-...... Thank you ......"
A difficult hoarse sound came from Cúchulainn's mouth, and it was evident that his throat must have been poisoned as well.
Zheng Shu didn't speak, just patted him on the shoulder, helping him leave a magic in his body, hoping to help him at a critical time.
Then he walked straight in the direction of the Great Holy Grail that he sensed.
When he came to the corridor behind the hall, Zheng Shu suddenly heard a faint sound, and then around his body, black swirls appeared.
Whoa......
Dark green chains flew out of the dark whirlpool, like snakes ready to bind Zheng Shu, and at the front of these chains there were hooked claws, which looked like the fangs of poisonous snakes, trying to insert into the body of their prey.
Zheng Shu stretched out his hand and easily flicked off most of the chains, and the remaining small part of the chains were also dodged with an amazing nerve reflex system.
Compared to Alkades' previous boxing, the speed of these chains was too slow in Zheng's opinion.
Boom!
The surface of the lake used as a ceiling suddenly exploded with a large amount of water, and a huge strange fish opened its mouth, intending to swallow Zheng Shu completely.
It was an ancient breed of divine fish, an incomparably ferocious magical beast that only Semiramis, whose mother was the god of fish, could summon.
The divine fish bit Zheng Shu vigorously with its huge mouth full of sharp teeth, but it felt like it was not human, but like solid metal.
Zheng Shu calmly stretched out his arm and poured it into the eyes of the divine fish without hesitation.
The divine fish was frantic because of the intense pain, but Zheng Shu still didn't care about gouging out the eyeballs, then holding its eye sockets with both hands, and tearing its head with his bare hands.
Another round of chains struck, and Zheng Shu held all the chains in his hands very simply, and pulled them off with a sharp tug.
"It seems that your injuries are not light, and may even be fatal, otherwise you should not only be able to summon such a small thing inside this treasure, right?"
Zheng Shu looked at the dark green chains, which were obviously coated with toxins, but they didn't have much effect on Zheng Shu.
Semiramis's offense can be regarded as impatient, and it is not easy for ordinary servants to face this round of combos, but this also reflects one thing - Semiramis has indeed been seriously injured, and even his ability to control the Noble Phantasm has decreased.
And there was indeed what he wanted behind this corridor, otherwise Semiramis would not have risked exposing himself and using the Noble Phantasm.
Continuing towards the corridor, a large number of chains were summoned again to try to stop Zheng Shu from leaving, but Zheng Shu just waved his hand casually, and smashed the metal chains into pieces.
……
……
Two arms stretched out from the bulbous chalice that overflowed with massive magical power, and the space was squeezed, making a sound like the cry of a baby at birth.
Amakusa Shiro Tokisada leaves the world of the Great Holy Grail and returns to reality again, and the pulsating Great Holy Grail proves the inner change.
When he saw this scene, Semiramis already understood that Amakusa Shiro Shizhen had completely become the great grail of this Holy Grail War.
In other words, from now on, all the huge magic accumulated on the Great Holy Grail belongs to Shiro.
"It's not easy...... I'll admit that you're pretty good. ”
The seriously injured Semiramis sat slumped on the ground next to him, looking at Shiro Amakusa Shizhen with a complicated smile.
At this time, Amakusa Shiro Shizhen's dress was no longer the appearance of stripping off his shirt before, he was wearing a red feather weaving and exaggerated placket, and his long white hair was tied up, and he looked like the queen of Semiramis had the momentum of a "king".
"After all, it was Triumph, so I chose to dress up before I was born."
Amakusa Shiro Shizhen smiled calmly, walked over to Semiramis and squatted down, gently wiping the blood from her face.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay, it's just a little careless, so I was injured by a pawn." Semiramis's tone was understated, as if he had not suffered some fatal injury, but an ordinary minor injury, "So, what's going on now?" ”
“…… All of this has been achieved, and it is now in the warm-up phase, and soon this great chalice will become the cup of heaven, which will replenish the magic from the spiritual veins of all over the world, and at the same time give all humans true immortality. ”
Amakusa Shiro Shizhen made eye contact with his servant like this, and then narrowed his eyes as if he was distressed.
"You don't need to show this look, as long as the treasure has not collapsed, I will not die."
"Okay, it's my fault, anyway, you can rest first, and I'll solve the rest of the problems."
Amakusa Shiro Shizhen smiled and turned his head to look at the pitch-black corridor on the other side.
"If I'm not mistaken, do you mean to get rid of me?"
Zheng Shu's figure slowly emerged from the corridor with a voice, and as soon as he came here, he was naturally attracted by the great chalice floating in mid-air.
"Is this the Great Holy Grail? Speaking of which, it's the first time I've seen two Holy Grail Wars. ”
"Strictly speaking, this can already be called a cup of heaven." Amakusa Shiro Shizhen stood up and leaned towards Zheng Shu defenselessly, "Do you want to fight again?" Strictly speaking, this Holy Grail War is over, and I have used the Third Magic to complete the redemption of humanity. ”
"Is the third law ......?"
The third magic of the Moon World: Soul Materialization, is one of the three royal families who forged the Great Holy Grail, and the miracle of the other side set by the Einzberen family as the goal.
"That's right, it's not the immortality of a half-hanger, but the complete immortality of abandoning a corrupting body! And not for a single object, but for all human beings to share, regardless of good and evil, passions and lusts will fade, vanity will become meaningless, this is the most perfect peace! ”
Amakusa Shiro Shizhen raised his hands excitedly and shouted out the general in this Holy Grail War.
"So I ask you, are you going to continue to fight me?"
"That's ......"
Even though he had already known the dream of Amakusa Shiro Shizhen in advance, Zheng Shu still nodded in admiration after actually hearing it.
Thirdly, after the soul is materialized, all human beings will become soul-only beings, so the competition for resources will disappear, the terminal of different thoughts will also be reduced, the chain of revenge will be interrupted, and the world will change dramatically.
And the direction of change, I'm afraid, will be connected to eternal peace, as Amakusa Shiro Tokisada predicted.
To be honest, Zheng Shu also felt that this kind of redemption was very perfect, at the cost of most spiritual veins, so that people could not grow old and immortal, if the struggle was caused by selfish desires, then the practice of cutting off the root cause was absolutely right.
If Emiya Kiritsugu was here, he might have been convinced.
Seeing Zheng Shu's silence, Amakusa Shiro Shizhen was even more pleased.
"That's right, there's nothing wrong, it's not a mistake, it's so complete that it's speechless. I think it would be nice to have a good talk with you sooner, but there are some things that you don't actually feel when you're not done, so even if I explain my purpose early on, you should be in the way of me. ”
Amakusa Shiro Shizhen also has a sense of relief in his heart at this moment, human beings have been redeemed, there is no distress, and there is no despair, this is a miracle exclusive to all mankind!
"One thing to say, if I were asked to refute you with words, I wouldn't be able to do it."
Zheng Shu first made a declaration that seemed to admit defeat, but Amakusa Shiro Shizhen felt cold in his heart, because he didn't feel any of the feelings that a loser should have from Zheng Shu's tone.
"After all, you have seen the suffering of mankind, and you do have a strong enough heart to fulfill your wishes, and in any case, it would be too much to underestimate you if you want to rely solely on words to persuade you."
Zheng Shu moved his neck, and his bones made a "crunch" sound, not to mention other aspects of the dragon clan's reinforcement template, the recovery aspect is indeed too strong to be a creature.
In just such a short distance, the wounds from the previous battle with Alcádes have fully healed.
"No matter what you say, I know one fact......"
Zheng Shu took a deep breath and looked at Shizhen Shizhen seriously: "In this world, only fists represent the right to speak. ”
"Really...... The way the barbarians do it. Amakusa Shiro Shizhen smiled bitterly.
"Humph! Want to convince me? OK! Knock me over with my fists, or I'll punch you down, it's that simple! Zheng Shu sneered.
"I see, I see."
Amakusa Shiro's face suddenly returned to flatness, and he and Zheng Shu came face to face, and behind him was the Great Holy Grail that trembled like a creature.
“Assassin…… I'm giving you a portion of the Great Grail, and I'm crushing everything with the Great Holy Grail that has been activated! ”
After instructing Semiramis, Amakusa Shiro Shizhen looked at Zheng Shu and raised a hand.
"It seems that if I don't defeat you, I'm afraid you'll always think like this. Your goal should be to get me before the Great Holy Grail completes the third spell, but as you can see, my side will be able to defeat you with just enough mana. ”
The Great Chalice made a sound as if echoing a raised arm, and the blue-white light that appeared behind Shiro Amakusa was like a giant's arm.
The so-called Great Holy Grail of Domination is like this, almost equivalent to the laws that govern this world, and has overwhelming power.
"That's it! If you don't convince others, why do you ask others to obey your thoughts?! ”
Zheng Shu smiled wildly and opened his arms, and the belt-shaped god weapon followed his call and unfolded the form of the armor.
The black substance emerged from the belt and quickly spread throughout Zheng Shu's body, then solidified into a brilliant black and silver armor, and finally formed two broken cloaks behind his back as a sign that the god's armament was fully deployed.
The giant arm composed of magic behind Shiro Amakusa Shizhen also began to move.
"The Great Grail: 'Yustiza', start syncing."
Amakusa Shiro Shizhen danced his arms, but his own footsteps were motionless, just letting the pure magic mass condense and launch an attack on his behalf, which was the most effective and ideal means of attack.
"Arm of the sky, fall!"
The pure white magic light fell like a meteor, and it looked like an entity attack, but in fact it was a magic cannon composed of high compression energy.
Zheng Shu didn't dodge or dodge in place, but just opened his palm at the light cannon that was much bigger than him.
Rumble!!!
With the help of the power of the Great Holy Grail, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada easily unleashed a charged attack comparable to the previous one that Semiramis could only launch by manipulating six black coffins.
This was enough to compare the Heavenly Arm Mallet with Zheng Shu, which was comparable to the treasure of the opposite city, and there was a fierce collision between Zheng Shu, and a huge storm rolled up around him, and the shock wave visible to the naked eye continued to reverberate in the small space.
"Ahem!"
It wasn't either of the two who fought against each other who coughed up blood, but Semiramis, who had been protected behind Shiro Amakusa.
Although she was not attacked head-on, and Amakusa Shiro Tokisada had been protecting her intentionally or unintentionally, the residual aftermath was too much for the seriously injured Semiramis to bear.
If it weren't for the timely mobilization of the power of the treasure to protect herself, I'm afraid she would have disappeared by now.
