Chapter 330

A golden meteor shower streaked across the sky.

"It's always a pity to see a cute child grow up - although I haven't seen Ritsuka when she first set out on her journey, I'm still surprised at how fast she's grown up." Tai Gong Wang walked to Noah's side and watched with him as the Heroic Spirits who responded to Fujimaru Ritsuka turned into meteors and passed through the gate of the Heroic Legacy. "Aren't you going to go with the others?"

"You haven't even gone to the more professional counterparts, so why should I go?" Noah smiled and sat down next to Tai Gongwang. "In this case, the triangle of reconstructing the world is only missing the last corner - the earth 'Gaia' and the human race 'Alaya' have been re-established, and the only new concept left is the sky 'Star Sea' which is still groping for its own way."

"...Is it Da Vinci who is in charge of the magic 'energy'?" Tai Gongwang blinked and confirmed with Noah, who was the most informed among all the Heroes, "We have passed through so many worlds. Is the reward we have received now enough for us to rebuild the world?"

"Ah, if it's just a normal 'reconstruction'..." Noah sighed, looking at the other gate with the cold technological features of Chaldea opposite the golden gate of Heroes, "It was enough when I left the world dominated by the Olympian gods before - of course, it was just barely enough."

"Once a step goes wrong, there is no turning back - that's why this news has not been made public."

"Also, although the earth 'Gaia' had been re-established at that time, not only had the sky 'Sea of ​​Stars' not grown up to the standard - at that time, the human race 'Alaya' had not been re-established either."

"At the same time, the models they built in the laboratory have never been successful." Tai Gongwang touched his chin and fell into deep thought, "To be honest, I think the concept of the sky's 'sea of ​​stars' is much more complicated than the earth's 'Gaia' and the human 'Alaya' -"

"Let's forget about this kind of trouble." Noah laughed. "Anyway, Phoenix Chaldea will not stop wandering until the model is successful."

At the same time, many Servants who responded to Fujimaru Ritsuka's summons and appeared in the world launched a fierce attack on the resurrected Yamata-no-Orochi. On the other side, Caster Abe Haruaki, who had left the team first and acted alone, isolated Ashiya Michimitsu, who had occupied Ashiya Hanae's body, from the battlefield where Noble Phantasms were flying everywhere.

"...The body you are occupying now is just that of an ordinary high school boy. You will not be able to attack after losing control of the Shikigami." Caster Abe Haruaki cut off the last spiritual thread connecting Asoya Michiman to the Shikigami and looked into his eyes calmly, "Or do you have another way?"

"It seems like you can't do anything to me, so why don't we have a good talk?" At this point, Asaya Michiman's attitude softened.

"You are not Abe Haruaki." Asaiya said confidently, "Not only you, but also the two who appeared before... At least they are definitely not the Abe Haruaki I know."

"Because he can't wake up." Caster Abe Haruaki answered Asiya Doman with his sleeves tucked into his pockets, "Although various precautions have been left to stop you - but whether it is a monster or a human, life will eventually come to an end. Moreover, even if all the clues prove that he is a pure monster..."

"Abe Haruaki must be a hybrid of human and white fox, and must be a great Onmyoji respected by human society. Why doesn't he hide his white fox bloodline, but hide his human bloodline instead?"

"Since you're paying so much attention to him, you should be able to realize this anomaly, right?"

Caster's spirit base showed signs of dissolving, but was quickly held firmly against his body by the Servant who was not taking the performance seriously.

Before changing to Caster's spirit base, Alterego's Abe Haruaki told Alterego's Awaya Michiman all the stories of Abe Haruaki in this world that he saw in his spirit veins.

"Ae·AnS: The "I" in this world is still a mixed-race, the only difference is that he chose Takamagahara. "

"Ae.AnS: There are countless ways for gods to hide the aura of humans - and I'm afraid this guy was led astray by Takamagahara since he was born... In short, he was later hidden by the gods. I don't know which guy did it, but even if he prepared a way to wake up again and face Asaya Michiman -"

『Ae.AnS: All of them became ineffective after he was hidden. 』

『Ae.AD: That means "unable to wake up", right? 』

"Ae.AnS: Also, the state of the spirit base in this world is very strange... I have a bad feeling, so you should be more careful in the future."

『Ae AD: ...I understand.』

"He used his real name to walk among those non-humans. Isn't it natural for him to be hidden?" When Ashiya Doman came up with the answer, Caster Abe Haruaki spread his hands and raised a smile that was quite unbecoming of Abe Haruaki's identity. "No matter how big a fuss you make this time, he won't pay any attention to you."

"Although I don't have a way to get you out of this child's body, I can ask them for help when the seats over there are vacant—"

—Something... has completely melted.

“You’re going to cause trouble for me at this time!?!” Ritsuka Fujimaru, who was supervising the Yamata no Orochi battlefield, screamed miserably, and continued to shake the Throne of Heroes, “Please, Mr. Taigong Momochi—Lord Harumi, if you come here at this time, the spiritual base conflict will be left to you! By the way, how come he changed from a Caster to a Pretender this time!!!”

“There should be nothing wrong with my steps!!!”

"That's their problem, and has nothing to do with the Master." Edmund emerged from the shadow of Fujimaru Ritsuka and watched the golden gate open again. Rider, who had just appeared in the world, was directly driven to the battlefield on the other side by the Lord of Prediction. "The battle here is about to end. Let's consider the plan of directly peeling Ashiya Doman from Ashiya Hanae's body."

The eight-headed, eight-tailed snake roared in anger, and in order to reduce the impact on reality, the Servants used defensive treasures to block the attacks of the Yamata no Orochi - but after all, the number of people called by Fujimaru Ritsuka was quite large, and the battle here was already coming to an end.

The ancient god of disaster, who had not enjoyed the air of the living world for long, was killed again and suppressed back into the world of death that had nothing to do with reality.

"...Ah, the instability of the spiritual foundation of non-crown masters really opened my eyes." The black-haired Onmyoji scratched his hair irritably and looked at the person opposite him. "Well, let me introduce myself again. I am the old enemy and close friend of the White Fox's daughter, and the one who took her life."

It was because he killed the real Abe Haruaki that the legendary great Onmyoji Abe Haruaki was born.

"Abe Haruaki's name is not my real name. My real name is Asaya Doman - it's the same as yours, the name of the poor villain Onmyoji who should have been defeated by the great Onmyoji Abe Haruaki."

When Tai Gongwang arrived at the scene, what he saw was the two Ashiya Doman preaching to each other - after losing the restriction of Caster's spiritual base, Ashiya Doman quarreled with the Ashiya Doman of this world over the issue of Abe Haruaki.

"Huh? Abe Haruaki, whom you knew, committed suicide at your hands, and you still think you are her relative or friend?"

"It's better than a certain pervert who can only be a black mist now, right? Do you really understand what Abe Haruaki is?"

"...I just can't stand the way he protects those weak guys!"

"Ah? Really? Abe Haruaki is the only great Onmyoji who can protect humans and non-humans, right? Abe Haruaki is not someone who would abandon his responsibilities for someone else!"

"Huh? So she's not evading responsibility by committing suicide?!"

"Why don't you try being chased by Takama-ga-hara and urged to join!!!" Asuya Doman, who noticed the figure of Taigong Wang, took a deep breath and ended the argument between the two, "Forget it, there is nothing to say to a guy like you who voluntarily gave up her human identity - because she doesn't want to give up her human identity no matter what, and she is even willing to die to retain this identity..."

"She is the Abe Haruaki that I know. The one you know can also be considered to have abandoned her human identity. From this perspective, you two are indeed from the same world."

"Well, are you done?" Taigong Wang cleared his throat, walked out from behind the tree trunk and looked at Asakusa. "Remember to explain to Master why the spirit base suddenly changed when you go back. Then, the battle with the Yamata no Orochi will end soon. What are you going to do here?"

"Do you want to just wait for Ereshkigal to come and take out this world's Ashiya Doman, or do you want to have a real fight?"

"No, let's leave it at that." Asaya Doman, who occupied Asaya Hanae's body, was the first to reject Taigong Wang's proposal to have a real fight with real swords and guns. "After all, no matter how bad the commotion gets, I won't see him anymore. Although it is boring to be locked up for thousands of years, it doesn't matter where I am if I can't see him."

"Then let's ask the hidden world for their opinions." Tai Gongwang touched his chin and turned to look at Fujimaru Ritsuka and others who were walking behind him. "After all, you have destroyed the balance between the two worlds, and the current era is not the past era when demons and ghosts were rampant... I think the punishment will be different."

"The hidden world's opinion is - if possible, please let the souls of the guys who don't belong to this era return to the underworld." Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had confirmed with Abe Harusai in advance, smiled at Taigong Nozomi, "Then, first pull out the two souls entangled in Ashiya Hanae's body, and then let Taigong Nozomi deal with them together."

"After all, Lord Qingming can't come over now."

After letting the monsters witness the scene of Yamata no Orochi's death again, Iwanaga Kotoko and Sakuragawa Kuro successfully blocked Sakuragawa Rikka, who made up many strange stories, in a certain apartment.

"That's enough, Ms. Rikka."
