“We’ll help.” X2

But after Joan of Arc left, the two of them, like elementary school students being scolded by their homeroom teacher, were still whispering to each other with resentment.

"Really, is this some kind of profound question?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, she's the saintess of 'Human Fortress' and 'Assault Steel Gorilla'."

"Pfft, what a strange name."

"It wasn't me who said that?"

"Ah, I believe it."

The two talked as they returned to the front lines. Even Shuoyue, facing the nearly corrupted Jeanne d'Arc, clearly wouldn't show mercy to their own giants. After a brief moment of lapse in composure, Jeanne d'Arc regained her dignified and imposing saintly demeanor.

"Alright! Everyone, please time your actions carefully! We must take care of this giant!"

At the command, everyone except Jeanne d'Arc and Tamamo-no-Mae, who were providing support, entered the preparation phase for unleashing their Noble Phantasms.

Brahma.

Accompanied by the crackling of flames, the God-Slaying Spear, a combination of golden armor and an indestructible blade, began to burn. Karna stretched his body in mid-air, preparing to throw it in the most perfect posture.

Seeing this, Achilles, not to be outdone, raised his beloved lance:

"Go, my gun! My conviction—"

In this critical moment, Joan of Arc raised the holy banner in front of the giant, like a bullfighter, deflecting the blows while guiding him closer to Atalanta's effective range.

However, the Titan, or rather the "primitive human," was by no means a dull being. Although he had no combat experience, his sparring with enemies was enough for him to undergo a transformation.

Adam's fighting ability is rapidly approaching the level of a hero, and the balance of power between Joan of Arc and the giant in this sword fight is beginning to shift.

Joan of Arc—was gradually losing ground.

"Ugh...!"

The giants' onslaught is reminiscent of natural disasters like avalanches or tsunamis. Or perhaps it could be described as a storm. Moreover, it was a "harmonious natural disaster," a precise and continuous attack—so powerful that Joan of Arc could have had half her body severed if she had misjudged the situation even slightly.

This scene nearly made the onlookers' hearts pound with fear. The arm strength commensurate with his giant physique was disproportionate to his superb martial arts skills. If it were merely a matter of great arm strength, the hero could use skillful maneuvering to deflect it; if it were merely a matter of superior martial arts, the hero could withstand it.

However, the slash of the Primal Giant Adam possessed both of these conditions, and an ordinary hero would undoubtedly be defeated.

But Joan of Arc held on, and despite using all her strength to deflect the opponent's attack, her hands did not tremble in the slightest.

It was terrifying, everyone present thought. The terrifying thing wasn't the giants themselves. While giants were a formidable threat, they weren't the object of fear. What was truly terrifying was Joan of Arc—this was the consensus among them.

If it were a Servant with immense power, that would be understandable. Or perhaps a great hero renowned for his martial prowess, like Achilles or Karna, would also handle it with ease.

However, Joan of Arc, as the Arbiter, was by no means an existence capable of overwhelming "original humans." She was inferior to the giants in strength, and even slightly less skilled; at this moment, she was merely a sapling caught in a storm.

Even so, she remained steadfast, in a situation akin to walking a tightrope in the dark. A slight step back would mean death, losing her balance would mean death, and even a slight misstep forward would mean death, yet she resolutely pressed on.

Thus, she successfully forced the giant into Atalanta's attack range.

"Right now—!"

The perfect moment was captured by Joan of Arc's revelation. She strode forward with powerful strides, roaring as she raised the holy banner—unleashing a strike that concentrated all her strength directly at the obsidian sword.

At the same time, the huntress on the treetop drew her bow and shot another arrow into the sky.

"Dedicated to the two great deities... the petition arrow!"

The rain of starlight fell unstoppably, like the smoke of war. Achilles, Karna, and the three heroes of the new moon roared and unleashed their most powerful attacks!

"Brahma, curse me!"

"The spear tip of the galloping sky!"

"The dawn horizon that burns across the seas & the verdant horizon that opens up a thousand mountains!"

This is an unprecedented combination of powerful artifacts!

"Human Fortress" and "Assault Steel Gorilla" are two nicknames for Jeanne d'Arc that come from the interlude of Jeanne d'Arc Alter. When Jeanne d'Arc asked her about it, Jeanne d'Arc Alter quickly betrayed Mordred. Jeanne d'Arc smiled and said that she would have a "long talk" with Mordred when she got back.

Incidentally, Fujimaru Ritsuka was calmly watching from the side.

Chapter 489 The Five Seconds of Reversal

A giant, a savior, bearing the responsibility of guiding the suffering people. A supreme giant whose mere existence can rewrite the world. A being who, by tasting the forbidden fruit, gained the light of wisdom—

The giant's winning condition is very simple: he only needs to maintain his own existence. By doing so, he will gradually step into a realm where no one can defeat him.

That is why the Titans have always adhered to a cautious approach to attack. It is not a passive approach, but a purely tactical one.

In contrast, the Servants are at a disadvantage no matter how you look at it; all five directly involved in the battle are heroes. However, they only have one chance to attack, and if they miss that opportunity, victory is impossible.

But thanks to the combined efforts of Joan of Arc and Atalanta, the crucial moment arrived. Flames swirled, meteors streaked by, and divine swords cleaved through steel as the three Noble Phantasms launched a coordinated attack on the giant Adam.

The giant understood perfectly well that this moment was a crucial one that would determine his life or death.

He also knew very well that as long as he could defend against any one of the three treasures, he would win.

The giant had no fear of death. However, he had to resolutely refuse the mission he was given.

The first to arrive were Zababa's two swords—one of which indeed struck Adam's ankle, destroying it. However, the giant immediately focused his attention on the other sword.

Adam was able to thwart the attacks of Achilles and Karna, as the giants knew exactly where their blessing came from and how they could resolve the intrusion once and for all.

Adam understood that he couldn't possibly knock the sword down by swinging it—he couldn't keep up with its speed. However, the giant's thinking was perfectly rational, devoid of any real understanding; he simply acted because he felt it necessary.

The War Spear and the God-Slaying Spear were aimed at the giant's core and heart, respectively, but to no avail. Even if the giant only had one foot touching the ground, the world would still send blessings to "original humans." As long as Adam was still in the Garden of Eden, he would not be harmed.

We must cut off his feet!

"impossible……!"

Who could have made that startled sound? The second sword strike from the new moon did indeed hit the giant's left arm.

The arm, severed and flying off like a piece of wood, had fulfilled its function commensurate with its cost. Ultimately, the saw that could cleave mountains still failed to meet the condition of victory: "simultaneously shattering both of the giant's legs."

—But that refers to the verdant horizon that opens up a thousand mountains, not the new moon.

"Blocked? Then bring another one."

The aftershocks of the hero's battle with the giant were absorbed by the golden pearl and stored as a massive amount of magic power. With a casual wave of her hand, Shuoyue could create a new divine aura in mid-air.

With the next strike, the damaged giant will surely be completely annihilated.

However, the giant was given the name 'Crown of Wisdom' precisely because his wisdom was no less than that of any hero.

Before his left arm was injured in place of his leg, Adam's right hand, gripping the greatsword, slammed down towards Joan of Arc, who was kneeling on the ground—even though he was off-balance, the giant's attack, which abandoned all defense, only made it more ferocious.

A fierce wind swept over her, and Joan of Arc gritted her teeth, trying to get up, but her legs gave way and she collapsed again.

She had exhausted herself to create this opportunity, and even breathing had become difficult, let alone moving.

As the new moon prepared its killing move, Karna and Achilles were also at the crucial moment of unleashing their Noble Phantasms. Atalanta was too late to come to the rescue; no one could block the attack, and no one had time to save her.

So, does this mean the adjudicator's duty ends here...?

However, Joan of Arc, lost in her daze, did not realize that all of the giant's actions were for the purpose of 'survival,' and the option of mutual destruction was not in his mind.

From the very beginning, the puppeteer who created Adam implanted a secret command into his masterpiece. This command recorded the bond between the Arbiter who was destined to defeat Him and another person, and the primordial giants naturally saw it as an opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

And that person did not disappoint the giant Adam.

The divine light remained bright, but the stench of blood was even stronger than the divine aura, and it quickly covered the entire land.

Tick, tick.

Blood dripped onto the soil, and from it bloomed the fragrant flowers of Eden.

When Joan of Arc looked up in bewilderment, she saw the expressionless young man and his shattered but still steady left arm holding the obsidian sword.

The giant's strength was utterly unreasonable. Even though Shuoyue used the force-dissipating techniques of Bajiquan, enhanced his physical attributes with electrostatics, and even employed the protection and shield of the Third Law, the fist he had been holding tightly still shattered and scattered, cutting his cheek. Even the bones in his left arm pierced straight out, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. The stark white bone spurs were exposed in the air, looking incredibly horrifying.

—She blocked it; with just one hand, the new moon shielded Joan of Arc from the giant's desperate attack.

But no one felt relieved, because the giant who had taken the heavy blow head-on had lost an arm, and his accumulated divine power dissipated. In the blink of an eye, the giant's damaged ankle had been repaired.

In other words, the opportunity to conquer that was gained because of Joan of Arc was lost again because of Joan of Arc—and Eden was nearing completion, with the giants about to gain true immortality!

Before long, no one will be able to stop the advance of the Primal Giants!

Is it over...? Some heroes sighed silently, preparing for a desperate last stand.

However, the Servants present did not notice that the other hand that Sakumo had never used was already gripping the blood-red Rose Spear.

Even as their spirits waned, the young man's eyes remained resolute. Facing Adam, whose wounds were healing rapidly, he stepped forward and thrust his gun forward!

The exorcising red rose blocked the giant's retreat, ruthlessly piercing Adam's intact left foot and easily severing the puppet's connection to the earth. Then, the one-armed assassin casually tossed aside his spear, and amidst the dissipating crimson particles, he leaped high into the air, his eyes gleaming with iridescent blue light, while his hands grasped the bright yellow cursed spear.

That was a gift from Diarmuid, the cursed spear that could render injuries irreparable—the Destroying Yellow Rose!

After destroying the concept of 'Eden' with the exorcising red rose, the primordial giants were killed by the curse of the sea god.

Use all your strength.

They converge into one bundle.

He incorporated his meticulously crafted skills into this single strike, and in an instant, he swept his gun across the battlefield.

As he fell headfirst, golden ripples spread out from the youth, and the instantaneous light tore through the eyes of the onlookers, severing the very foundation upon which the giant stood on the earth!

An ankle that survived the attack, an ankle that was damaged and then repaired... In the giant's gradually forming mind, a new emotion called astonishment was awakened at this moment.

He underestimated Shuoyue's fighting ability, and the price he paid for this contempt was the complete loss of the blessing from the earth!

From the divine sword severing the giant's ankle to the saint's attack, and then the new moon sacrificing herself to save her, and finally using Diarmuid's twin pistols to completely destroy Adam's feet.

In the blink of an eye, it only takes five seconds.

It shone brightly like a shooting star, yet faded silently. As drops of blood fell, Joan of Arc caught the new moon, her eyes closed. Tears welled in the saint's eyes, yet her voice trembled as she cried out:

"It's now!"

The next instant, the flaming holy lance and the rushing green light pierced through the giant's heart and soul core, and even with its momentum undiminished, it shot straight into the sky along with the shattered soil and rocks!

From a distance, they look like two lines drawn arbitrarily on a dark canvas.

The Primal Giant Adam has been defeated!

Some people might not understand, so let me explain. To defeat the giant Adam, there are three steps. Destroying the heart and the core can be done simultaneously, but destroying the feet is a prerequisite. The connection between the giant and the earth must be severed before Karna and Achilles can destroy it. Otherwise, the damage will be negated by the Reality Marble.
