Chapter 293
"Congratulations on passing the first ninety-nine levels and successfully reaching the last level representing the great god Zeus." Kirshtalia stood in front of everyone and announced the final battle they were about to face in a condescending manner, "First, let's start with the King of Conquerors Iskandar--"
"After you defeat Iskander, your enemy will be Dioscuri, and then me."
"Whatever means are used - as long as they are used to achieve victory, they are permitted."
"Then please make sure that all of your Cosmos are in a normal state - the battle begins."
"The Hundred-Storied Tower has chosen to fight on its own..." Seeing that the battle had already begun, K. Rasputin released a message that no longer needed to be carefully concealed. "According to the latest news, Kirshtalia Vodem took away a special item made by alchemists from Leonardo da Vinci's workshop not long ago. Of course, the replica of the black barrel 'Black Barrel' is still well preserved inside Chaldea."
"You can't use the replica of the Black Barrel against humans, right?" Merlin complained, and soon began to make up stories based on the Servants on the battlefield. "When the King of Conquerors was young, he could still occupy a place in the Aquarius level with his skills as a beautiful young man, but as an adult, this two-meter-tall burly and strong body is the result of his flesh being tempered by lightning when he overused the power of Zeus when he was alive, right?"
"Iskander deployed his inherent barrier - he used the King's army to offset the numerical advantage of the Saints..." Tai Gongwang commented on Iskandar's actions, "He even reversed the situation in terms of numbers. Of course, I hope that the Saints, as challengers, will not be completely ravaged and crushed by the King of Conquerors' army..."
"What is the biggest weakness of a group with a material basis?" Ms. Avalon, who is a resident of the spiritual world of the Demi-Narroyo, asked with a shake of her head, and directly pointed out the only feasible way for the Saints to break the deadlock, "That is matter itself - the power of the Saints can destroy atoms, and atoms are the basis of matter."
"Leo's Gold Saint Iolia destroyed the King's Army with his Light Speed Fist—" Merlin raised his eyebrows, "Iskander's Spiritual Base is destroyed! The battle enters the next stage—the two ancient gods of St. Elmo's Fire rush into the battlefield, and Pollux slams Iolia, who had left the crowd to deal with the King's Army and Iskandar, into the air with a sword!"
"How boring! Go to hell!" The Avenger Castor, holding a disc, stood in the center of the battlefield, looking at the challengers indifferently, and simply announced their end.
"Well, you can go to hell now." Pollux stood beside his brother with a sword in hand, and approved his brother's decision in a gentle but irresistible tone, announcing the start of the battle for the challengers.
"We are the stars!"
"It is an existence that shines in the sky!"
A huge storm of magic was released with Dioscuri as the center, and the high pressure of magic alone suppressed the Saints so that they could not move at all. Dioscuri learned from the experience of being defeated by the Saints before, and began to increase the level of his divine core the moment the Saints were suppressed, and chanted the release of his Noble Phantasm's True Name.
"Okay. Crush the target." Pollux lowered his eyes, with the same cold color as Mechagod in them.
"Be afraid!" The disc in Castor's hand, forged from divine steel and infused with starlight, emitted a blue light.
"Worship!" The sword in Pollux's hand also lit up at this time, and the dazzling golden starlight was parallel to the blue starlight in his brother's hand.
"The existence that shines in the sky, the guiding star!" The divinity returned to Castor's body, and the constantly improving divine core finally returned to its original form at this moment.
"We descend here!" The sword and the disc pressed tightly together, and Dioscuri's magical power enhancement, which could be achieved with the Servant's spiritual foundation, had reached the limit.
"Double God Hymn "Dioscures Tyndaridae"!"
"I seem to hear the sound of something breaking." K. Rasputin looked at the battlefield on the screen and continued to explain with a professional smile, "Dioscuri's attack was forced to slow down - it was Aquarius's strategy! Although the invincible God Steel has the power to destroy everything, Dioscuri's God Core is not always in the state of the ancient twin gods!"
"So that's how it is. This time it's a collaboration between Aquarius and Aries - Aquarius is really suitable to be a magician." Tai Gongwang began to review the situation of this battle. "The 'sound of something breaking' that K. Rasputin heard before was the sound of Dioscuri's treasure shattering the crystal wall that Aries reluctantly opened under the pressure of magic to protect the Saints."
"Aquarius, who was able to quickly take advantage of all this to counterattack - is this really the same Aquarius we saw in the video of the Battle of the Zodiac?" asked Ms. Avalon.
"Rather, this is the true strength of Aquarius himself. After all, everyone was bound by the thread of the goddess of fate." Merlin shrugged and turned over the information belonging to Camus. "After all, in terms of magic, although he did not study it systematically, compared with other saints, this guy is already a professional."
"Indeed, after the crystal wall shattered, Dioscuri was also damaged to a certain extent due to the characteristics of the crystal wall." Lady Avalon took over Merlin's words, "And Aquarius made perfect use of the gap when the pressure of magic power was reduced at that moment, using the ice coffin to block Dioscuri's attack - and at the same time as Dioscuri's divine core decayed back to B, he used the frozen air left by the previously destroyed ice coffins to turn Dioscuri into an ice sculpture."
"It seems that Dioscuri and King of Conquerors Iskander are both easy opponents for them." K. Rasputin spread his hands and focused his attention on Kirshtalia. "I wonder if Kirshtalia has anticipated this development? Let us all look forward to Kirshtalia, the last trialist, bringing us a wonderful battle."
Kirshtalia finally stood up under everyone's gaze.
"God of the Void, I hereby declare the defeat of human wisdom." The blond magician sighed, raised his hand and turned this layer of space into an endless sea of stars. Within Athena's domain, this part of space was temporarily transformed into a picture of the Age of Gods that was consistent with the Atlantic Novel Belt. "Your vision is too old, your hands and feet are too weak, and your knowledge has stagnated."
——What exactly is the so-called "Heaven"?
——The origin of the world is composed of the collective subconscious of humanity "Alaya" and the planetary consciousness "Gaia".
——Then, what does the sky "universe" that encompasses humans and the earth correspond to?
"That's the stars - the sea of stars that the astronomy department 'Animusphia' is watching." Lansemello answered Kirshtalia's question one night not long ago. "At least in our time, the sea of stars itself has not lost as many mysteries as the earth and humans - go and try, drag the mysteries of the sea of stars into a world where mysteries have already retreated."
Kirshtalia then connected the sea of stars into a huge magic circle, and tightly grasped the staff in his hand that was only suitable for the great magic of the astronomy department - "In the name of the last of mankind, these countless decisions, many setbacks, and all prosperity will be judged and returned to nothingness. This blow will knock down the gods. Let the bell of change ring!"
"Grand Order/Anima Animusphere"! 』
The stars fell from the sky.
"Why did you agree that they wouldn't show up on the battlefield in this holy war?" Shiroto Saori asked Lancermello who was sitting next to her, looking at the dazzling meteor shower that suddenly appeared, "You can obviously create a more grand scene than this meteor shower - or use simpler and more brutal means to get rid of Pluto's army..."
"In that case, is it Athena who is fighting a holy war with Hades, or am I fighting a holy war with Hades?" Lansemello smiled, but his eyes passed through the bright stars and fell on Kirshtalia. "Besides, I suggest that you trust the warriors around you--"
"Of course I believe them." Kido Saori replied to Lancermello, "However, this meteor shower - I have something to ask of you. This meteor shower was successfully brought down after he interfered with many celestial bodies in the Milky Way, right? If so, I have a very important task for you to do."
"What's the matter?" Lansemello blinked and turned his head to look at Shiroto Saori.
"Although you didn't meet him during the last holy war, but when it comes to Hades launching a holy war--" Kido Saori mentioned the contents of the record long ago, "Hades will use his divine power to interfere with the movement of the celestial bodies in the solar system, achieving the wonder of nine planets in a row. This symbolizes that Hades, the god of the underworld, rules the earth..."
"Then just lend us the Astrology Hill." Lanser-Mero turned his attention back to the battlefield. "We will be responsible for stopping Hades from achieving the Nine Stars Conjunction and letting darkness cover the earth. Although we may not be able to directly confront the power of God, if we can just create a little deviation and make his plan fail... then we still have many ways."
The starlight brought to the Saints an enhanced effect similar to the time when the Fantasy Tree first blossomed, when the high concentration of magic in the anomalous belt transformed humans into gods. So, after the meteor shower ended, when the Saints were adapting to the enhanced effect, Kirshtalia took out the model of the machine god Zeus made by the alchemists.
"The shape of a star. The shape of the universe. The shape of God. My shape. The celestial body is a hole. The hole is the void. The void is filled with God." Kirshtalia stood under the giant Mecha God and gracefully announced the beginning of the final test to the Saints, "The interstellar battle-type mobile fortress, the flagship, the great god Zeus——"
"The true form of Mechhan has arrived."
