The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 234 Herzog: I am dead, and I have to die again?
"It's incredible."

Yuan Zhisheng wiped his bloody ancient sword and kicked the small red head away. The sturdy torso fell weakly on the side of the road.

This kind of fangs, horns on the head, and strange body shape do not match any existing deadpools. They are completely the appearance of demons that only exist in legends. It feels like I have suddenly arrived in the Heian period in fantasy, where demons are everywhere.

The cross-section of the remaining body is smooth, showing how skillfully the knife was cut.

In fact, he just played some supporting role at most.

Not far away, his younger brother, Gen Chijo, was even more powerful. Relying only on that silver arm, he swept through the streets like his servant Watanabe Tsuna, clearing out all kinds of huge monsters one by one like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

However, Yuan Zhisheng had a hard time facing that kind of monster. His ancient sword couldn't even cut through the monster's outer skin defense. The most he could do was to use his words to restrict the monster's movements.

But then again, first came the Holy Grail War and the Heroic Servants, and then the legendary goblins appeared in the world.

This world is really becoming more and more unfamiliar.

...However, Yuan Zhisheng did not have a moment to lament the changes in the world, as his time was very tight.

"Master Miyamoto, is the analysis report on Princess Kaguya's abnormal astronomical phenomena ready?"

Yuan Zhisheng’s current position is not to charge into battle, but to be responsible for commanding from the center.

...Anyway, I have gradually become the bottom character among the three of us, so I shouldn’t cling to my identity as a royal half-blood and insist on being “newbie and playful” to go to the front-line battlefield. Finding my own position is more important than anything else.

Yuan Zhisheng has currently arranged a group of family members, mainly from the Miyamoto family and geological research institutions, to assist Charlotte in exploring the so-called "ground veins".

Charlotte claimed to be the prodigy of the Clock Tower. Although Gen Chisheng had never heard of this name, she was the one who helped heal his brother's arm, so he fulfilled his promise and agreed to her request.

Next, Gen Chisei contacted the head of the Miyamoto family, Miyamoto Shio, who had been in charge of optimizing the super AI Kaguya-hime.

Right now he needs real-time information about situations in various places even more. Especially after the gods created accidents everywhere to kill people, the family temporarily established a rapid response mechanism, allowing Kaguya to monitor outlets and offline sensor equipment across the country around the clock to understand the real-time situation.

His father Uesugi Yue also contacted the Cathedral Church and his old friend Ange - by the way, Gen Chisho only then realized that it turned out that his previous Shadow Emperor actually had a good relationship with the leader of the secret party.

Originally, we should have maintained a cautious attitude towards the secret party's interference, but at this time we can no longer care about each other's positions. If we stick to prejudice at this time, the Eight Clans of Sheqi may not be able to cope with such a crisis on their own.

Although there is no concrete proof, no one except God has the ability to carry out such a catastrophe on a large scale.

"Head, we have sorted out the situation," Miyamoto Shio's calm words came through the headset:

"To put it simply, this 'black fog area' has spread from the Tokyo metropolitan area to several nearby satellite cities, including Saitama, Chiba, Kanagawa and other Tokyo metropolitan areas, and is gradually eroding the entire Kanto metropolitan area."

As a prosperous area of the island country, the urban area included in Tokyo is generally called the "Tokyo area", also known as the "one city and seven counties", with a total area of tens of thousands of square kilometers.

The metropolitan area includes other central cities, including Yokohama, Sagami, Kawasaki, and dozens or hundreds of special districts, cities, towns, and villages... The land area is far beyond the former.

"The scope has expanded so much all of a sudden..."

Genno Chisei had already learned about the "Night Food Field" from Uesugi Koshi, but no matter how huge the Nibelung was, it should only cover the size of Tokyo.

Alas, this Holy Grail War has completely gotten out of control...

"Contact the secret party immediately."

"Eh? We did something like that before, and we still contacted the headquarters?" Miyamoto Shio was a little surprised. He was talking about the student who dropped out of the headquarters' training class. Under this premise, the semi-public cooperation between the two parties had already broken down.

"We don't have to contact the headquarters, just contact Ange, he is in Tokyo."

Finkel felt like a puppet at the mercy of others.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! This is how you put on the shoulder and arm armor. The joints are already inserted!"

"Michael host fitting test completed! Can be started at any time!"

A group of equipment officers in white coats were busy around him, putting on the ugly and bulky parts, which made his already sturdy bear figure even worse...

Finkel was really convinced. This thing was not a complete machine but assembled in parts. Would it suddenly fall apart into a pile of parts when the war started?

"Fool! You don't understand the efforts that all of us have put into Michael... The Son of the Morning Star has fallen from the sky. The godlike Michael will defeat Lucifer and the dragon with the red sword of fire!"

The Minister of Equipment, Akadullah, made the sign of the cross on his chest, looking like a devout believer.

Finkel struggled to hold his long sword through his gauntlet, and secretly complained about the sword of fire. Those were obviously his own double swords of the Night Killing Flame Demon!

And when did this guy Acadullah become a Christian? You betrayed your original faith, bastard!

Akadula responded with a disdainful look. How could a mere hyena understand that in the face of the supreme romantic ideas of super robots, worldly beliefs are nothing but a floating cloud?
"How are you preparing?"

At this time, Ange also walked into the basement with a folding knife in hand. "According to the latest news, the Nibelungen is eroding reality. There will be more and more monsters. The longer it goes, the more passive our situation will become."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the principal's urging was already very obvious.

"Principal!" Finkel looked at him for help, "I really don't want to wear this on the battlefield! It really affects my handsomeness... I mean, it affects my personal agility! And this thing won't run out of power halfway through the journey!"

Akadula immediately retorted, "I can't agree with that. This Michael mecha has undergone our numerical tests for many years. Michael is capable of maintaining stable performance in various extreme environments. Its output level is stable above that of S-level hybrids. Its endurance at full speed is more than 500 kilometers. It also has two backup energy storages..."

"—wait, multi-year testing?"

Ange keenly caught a word, "In other words, you have been secretly embezzling the funds of the school board to study this?"

Akadullah was like a drake being strangled by the neck, whimpering and grumbling, unable to utter any decent rebuttal. At the critical moment, Deputy Minister Karl stepped forward:

"Mr. Principal, based on the information you provided, we have contacted Norma to complete a comprehensive weather summary and forecast, and have roughly found signs of 'high tide' and 'black moon'."

"First, there were the cumulonimbus clouds that had been gathering for days, and there was an abnormal retreat of the sea level near Tokyo Bay not long ago (a precursor to a tsunami). In addition, we also immediately obtained information from the Coast Guard and the Meteorological Bureau combined with satellite data to predict the approximate range and arrival time of the tsunami."

A perfect way to change the subject.

Ange raised his eyebrows, "Oh, you mean the information provided by my old friend (Uesugi Yue), I thought it was some misinformation in ancient books."

Angé privately asked Uesugi Yue how the Eight Snake Families usually explained this strange phenomenon in the outside world.

Uesugi Yue said that according to ancient records, the continuous heavy rain for many days was someone trying to open the Night Food Field. Water is the medium of the Night Food Field, which can merge the two worlds and make demons and ghosts overlap with the human world.

When the Night Eclipse is fully opened and the two worlds are completely integrated, there will be a tide washing over the city and the moon in the sky will be black.

This was also called the "Black Moon Tide" by the Snake Qi Eight Clans in ancient times.

"Okay, I understand the tide, but where is the 'Black Moon'?"

"Please watch the VCR."

Deputy Minister Karl turned on the video projection, and the lights in the basement were instantly turned off. Only the projector indicator light and the projected image lit up, and the ominous black and red posture was clearly presented to everyone.

The projected video was very short, and Angers could only see a long, bright red column in the mist. It looked like a tall tree trunk growing upwards, with countless roots entangled with each other underneath. But it also looked like something alive that was pulsating or flowing.

There is a black round hole at the top of the "crown".

Then the screen went black and the playback ended.

"This is the picture we took with a new drone and sent back in real time. The direction is roughly somewhere in Bunkyo Ward, but we were discovered when we approached, so the final observation result is only this little bit."

After Deputy Minister Karl finished speaking, he turned off the projection screen.

Ange stroked his chin, "So this thing is the 'Black Moon'?"

----

Before receiving the contact from Emiya, Nono had a dream.

She dreamed of the eerie Yellow Springs Road filled with blood mist. Looking down from the throne, she saw countless dead subjects crawling like ants, worshiping here along the dense vermilion thousand torii gates that looked like the "Yozen Hirasaka".

The tall and winding Torii gates look like bright red roots when viewed from high above.

She noticed again that in the corner of her vision, next to her hand, was a throne stained red with the blood of the untouchables, like a canopy structure made up of blood vessels.

Under the throne was a bright red pillar made of countless flesh and blood corpses. The souls of the dead in the pillars wailed silently, offering their vitality and magic power to the throne like living sacrifices. On the throne was the spirit of death.

The high god, with his long red hair fluttering, stretched out his hand towards the black hole in the sky...

No, she herself is the god with the red hair... So that's it, this is actually a strange dream from a first-person perspective?
...The "god" stretched out his arms, allowing Nuo Nuo to see the white sleeves fluttering in the wind, like a white bird spreading its wings, and at the same time, various patterns were painted with ink.

The large sleeve on the left symbolizes the rising sun, the growth of all things and the dreamlike world, while the large sleeve on the right seems to symbolize the rising moon, dry bones, cold sand and even the eternal underworld.

Amaterasu! Tsukuyomi!
Nuonuo instantly thought of two of the three noble sons.

But the wind blew violently, blowing away the white robe outside, and Nuo Nuo saw that underneath the plain white robe was a brilliantly painted robe. The colorful robe made Nuo shudder...

Because that didn't look like the majestic attire of a righteous god at all, but rather the burial clothes of the dead crawling with maggots!
The identity of this deity is about to be revealed...

The Mother Goddess of Creation, the Great God of Yomizu, Izanami!
"Let the ceremony begin!"

God said.

Thunder exploded in the darkness, it was the majestic cry of the Eight Thunder Gods. Nono saw the souls of the dead being escorted up the blood-red torii gates and thrown into the blood-red pool.

Most of the dead souls were in a daze, while some were like madmen, howling in pain because they felt the painful and cruel sacrifice...

In fact, they are no longer alive. Having lost their bodies, they have no ability to distinguish through their five senses. Everything is caused by the internal instincts that remain from their original bodies.

One of the dead who was screaming caught her attention.

The ghost's originally pale face was tightly stitched with a black and white noble mask. The ghost wanted to remove the mask, but instead it caused tears to appear on the skin and the stitches, as if bloody soul oil was dripping from the tiny holes in the stitches.

"No, you... can't do this to me!" The ghost tried to escape, but after a thunderous explosion, it immediately became limp and powerless, and was grabbed by a tangible black shadow hand and pulled towards the pool of water filled with thick blood mist.

"I once controlled the Eight Snake Clans and the Fierce Demon Clan! I am the dark leader of this country. I should have stolen the throne and controlled the world! And you are all just food on my table! Damn it, this is not the ending I should have..."

This stern accusation amazed Nuonuo. This ghost actually retained a lot of sober will. It had a clear understanding of itself, strong desires, and unwillingness...

Of course, the more this happens, the more painful it is.

No matter how glorious one was in life, everything is empty after death. This ghost, like the others of its kind, was thrown into the pool overflowing with blood.

The pool of blood was like a living thing with a pulse, following the winding curve, directly connected to the throne pillars at the bottom, like a well-developed root system under the trunk, sacrificing all human souls and lives to the throne. Those souls were like the cornerstones of the throne.

After the sacrifice, the souls that were used as sacrifices would only repeat incomprehensible divine language. Nono felt that the content was like praising the Mother Goddess of Creation, the God of the Underworld, or something like that.

The souls that turned into cornerstones were silent. They just merged into one and raised the throne, constantly approaching the unknown black hole in the sky.

But then again, that mask looks familiar, doesn't it?
