The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

"...That's true. Perhaps it is indeed as you say, wishes cannot be fulfilled, longing cannot be conveyed, then let this body, these eyes, this soul all be thrown into the fire..."

Ophelia felt her mind was in a state of chaos, and intense pain came from deep within her body, as if she herself were being crushed and pulverized.

She had a sudden realization: once she succumbed to the pain, she would probably nod again and say, "That makes sense." Then the pain would become reality and shatter her.

What is this? Ophelia suddenly snapped back to reality and realized the curse on her.

Her soul and will were bound by that curse, the curse of the evil dragon.

"Sulut! What have you done to me! Did you intend to kill me from the very beginning!?"

"Your resistance is strong, but it's too late. Half of your soul has merged with mine. Ophelia, let us witness the end of this planet together."

Ophelia woke up a little too late; her magic eye had once been connected to Surtur, and that connection had led to everything that was happening before her eyes.

Then the sound of shattering came from Ophelia's heart, and surging flames burned within her body; those were the flames of Surut.

The dragon's curse had captured Ophelia, leaving her no choice but to submit to the doomsday giant, letting flames engulf her heart and will.

"That's true, that's good... Let the world... let the entire Lostbelt be engulfed in flames..."

Ophelia spoke haltingly like a puppet, and Surut, having achieved his desired result, lowered the sword he had raised from the air.

The blade of the Flame Sword pierced the sky and fell towards the area below, near the boundary between the former Lake Venaen and the Flame Ridge and the icy land.

This area is dotted with several villages and wildlife habitats, making it one of the more life-rich places in this barren Nordic Lostbelt.

Surtur came here so that Ophelia could witness the brilliance of his flames and see life burning brightly.

A sword with an extremely high temperature exceeding 400 million degrees Celsius, generated solely by magic, a temperature that shouldn't exist on Earth. Like a meteor, it fell towards the Earth at a terrifying speed.

The residents of this area could see something even more dazzling than the sun falling from the sky simply by looking up.

Which young girl, Gerda, saw with the eyes of a child the dazzling object that appeared in the sky? (Part 5)

"More dazzling than the sun... What is that...? It's so beautiful—" (VII)

"Radiate the sun, sword of fire!"⑥

Chapter 48 Rainbow Light 6

As the Chaldea submarine moved at high speed, it saw flames, even more terrifying than the colossal giant, falling from the sky.

Once that sword falls, the surrounding area will likely be completely reduced to dust, so it's necessary to block that sword. (4)

Who should do this? That's a sword of fire capable of stripping away life, stripping away the earth's surface, and setting the entire planet ablaze. ④

"The most urgent task is to stop the Fiery Sword from falling... If the sun is still shining in the sky, this is the most suitable thing for me to do..."②

At this moment, the sun no longer exists in the sky above Northern Europe; where the sun once stood, there is now only a huge void.

That fierce dog, the embodiment of ice, swallowed the sun 3000 years ago. The sun that was hanging there before was just Surt's body, a domain of fire.

With the Great God's cage broken, flames have fallen upon the land of the Nine Realms, and therefore the sun... even the false sun, no longer exists.

Therefore, the number of the saint cannot be activated, and the power of the sun cannot act on Manjusaka's body.

Although in theory the actual effect of the saint's numbers should be calculated based on time, in reality it is based on whether or not there is sunlight.

However, without the bonus provided by the Saint's Number, Manjusaka's data is not so impressive; only his innate physical body is still usable.

"Now, trying to raise the sun would be a difficult move. Those terrifying flames would probably swallow up any unworthy sun."

Although it's not that they can't raise their own light, which of the suns that can be raised at this moment can outshine the giant king Surt in front of them?

"Why not leave it to Berserker? Berserker is the strongest! He'll definitely be able to block Surtr's Flame Sword first."

Shido immediately offered his opinion: none of the people present were truly suited to resist Surtur's Flame Sword.

Or perhaps, in the rush of the journey, there was no time to do these things; in such an urgent situation, this was the only option.

After all, Siegfried is not a defensive type of Servant, so if Siegfried were here, he might be able to play a role.

"Berserker?"

"Yes, Berserker!"

Manju almost forgot that the person in front of her, Shidou, was a pseudo-Servant fused with Illya, so the Berserker she mentioned was obvious.

"If it were the great hero Hercules, he could indeed do that. Even a mere Spirit Origin Shadow should be able to resist for a period of time."

There's really no need to worry about Hercules. Although he's often used as a target in his appearances, that's exactly what's needed now, and that's exactly what's required.

With time running out, a plan had already been devised, so there was no need to consider it any further. Hercules, acting as a shadow, appeared here.

The two original rune users and the three goddesses who were present gave the summoned Hercules a magical boost, and then launched Hercules directly through the submarine's launch device.

After all, this great hero, when he was Berserker, did not carry any Noble Phantasms, nor did he have the ability to fly, so it was impossible for him to land on the ground to stop the Flame Sword.

If it were actually standing on the ground, it would be no different from the Blazing Sword already having fallen to the ground; the sheer heat emanating from that sword would be enough to obliterate all life on the ground.

At the same time, Shidone cast a spell on Hercules that allowed him to float in the air, so that after arriving at the location, he would not be knocked down from the sky, but would be able to stand in the air and withstand the attack.

Hercules, who was loaded into the launcher like a cannonball, was launched directly beneath the Flame Sword.

The sun, falling from the sky, paused in mid-air the moment it touched the dark figure.

The greatest hero of Greece blocked the world-destroying fiery sword with his body. Although the flames burned his body, they did not directly melt Heracles.

"Berserker! Well done, you even managed to hold onto the magic!"

Zhi9⒋∩-㈧誀似°≯仨∮＠糁０￡？ Wu Sou Suo Q￙: Within the scope of the first time, she cheered for Hercules, and she was also the one who cared the most about the magical enhancement that Hercules performed.

"------!"

Hercules responded to Shidone with a roar, revealing the bond between them; despite their changed appearances, they were still connected.

"Thank you, Berserker!"

Shido shouted excitedly, but quickly lowered his body again:

"The reaction force of the spell is too strong; it can't hold for much longer! Please continue to provide support, Stepmother! Otrind!"

"Understood. Swan Costume activated immediately to assist the shadow brought by Humanity."

Otlind immediately flew out of the submarine and headed towards Hercules' location.

"Then let the multifaceted iron shields appear simultaneously, even though they are all things he has shattered before, it's better than nothing!"

Skadi simultaneously used the Primal Runes to summon a large number of shields made of divine iron, which she placed next to Heracles to relieve his stress.

But this was indeed better than nothing; the power of that falling weapon, the numerical value it brought, was terrifying.

Even after strengthening this aspect, the conclusion given by Instrument 4 is that it can only last for a few minutes at most, but more likely it will only last for tens of seconds.

"The current observations are still relentless; it can't hold out for much longer. Once this struggle collapses, Northern Europe will be wiped out!"

“Mash, this is a critical situation that we must defend against no matter what. I try not to force you, but now we can only rely on you.”

Indeed, among everyone present, Mash was the most suitable choice for defense, as her shield had withstood too many incredible and terrifying attacks.

Even after losing Galahad, he was still able to muster the courage to use the shield in her hand to block Ivan the Terrible's largest bombardment.

However, the flaming sword that can burn everything inevitably evokes memories of past events.

After all, the shield might not be able to completely protect its owner. It's possible that the shield would remain firmly planted in the ground, while the person holding the shield would perish in the flames.

However, there was no one more suitable to defend at the moment, so Da Vinci had no choice but to ask Mashu for help.

"It's possible. My shield exists specifically for this purpose. Rather, it's because Miss Ilya beat me to it that I'm in a bit of a predicament now."

Mashu, of course, would not back down or hesitate. She immediately adjusted her state and prepared for battle.

"Spirit Origin Exoskeleton maximum output. Auto-adjustment activated. SoftBank Boost ready for emergency deployment, commencing. Flash defense complete, synchronizing with submarine observation instruments." Master, this shield and I will hold the line here. Give the order.

"Wait, wait! Little Demi-Servant! You're only saying that because you haven't seen the observed data! Technical advisor, why didn't you tell her? Sending a mere little girl into this confrontation alone will only put her in danger!"⑨

Goldrov, however, could not accept this and hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Yes, the possibility is extremely slim. To devise such a low-success-rate operational plan is simply insane, whether it's operations in singularities or battles in Lostbelts. That hasn't changed." (Lin)

Under these circumstances, we still issued her orders: she must survive. This is what is meant by fighting the world. To break through Russia, to break through Northern Europe, and to break through the next Lostbelt, this was unavoidable. — He

"I'm not discussing achievements with you! I'm just saying! It's impossible right now!" (iii)

Goldruff didn't agree with da Vinci's convincing words; he simply couldn't accept what appeared to be a suicidal act.

"Don't dwell on this. Now that the Flame Sword has been stopped, your work is done. It's my turn to take over. Simply stopping the Flame Sword temporarily isn't enough." 6.

What we need to do is defeat him, which requires a decisive blow to withstand his attack and bring him down. Mashu can't provide that yet, so I'll leave it to her.

I need the magic cubes you obtained from the Imagination Technique. With those, I should be able to briefly unleash power beyond what this Spirit Origin can currently achieve.

Manshu turned around and prepared, touching his missing pupil, intending to fly in the sky using rune magic.

If we're talking about counterattacks, Manju is indeed capable of wielding one. Although the scale of his magic is still incomparable to that of Surtur, he does possess a weapon capable of contending with the Flame Sword.

This trident of Shiva, if fully unleashed, can undoubtedly achieve this.

All that's left to do is make up for Manshu's lack of quantity. How to do that? It's not too difficult.

In the previous Lostbelt, Chaldea obtained a large magical energy cube, similar to the Holy Grail, from the remains of the Imaginary Tree.

Although it is not an endless supply of magic, it possesses a considerable amount of magic power, which has been used to power the submarine's operation for some time.

"Shiva's trident? If this weapon were fully unleashed, it might indeed be able to defeat Surut, but it's not something a human can fully wield."

Although Manju uses various Noble Phantasms, after several encounters, it becomes clear that the Noble Phantasms Manju uses each time are relatively fixed.

Of the three Noble Phantasms he used in the Lostbelts, only Shiva's Trident could achieve this level of power.

However, such a weapon is clearly not something a normal Servant can use without paying a price. Even Parvati, as a divine Servant, couldn't fully utilize its power when in her Servant form.

Once the true value of this god-tier weapon is fully realized, the only price to pay will likely be self-destruction.

"What is death, Leonardo da Vinci? Do you think I cannot even face what you have prepared for and already confronted? Isn't there a hero before you who has just overcome the shattering of his spirit core, and is still wielding his sword? Why worry about me?"

Manju was prepared for death; it was just one death, nothing to worry about, especially since it involved burning himself rather than being killed by an enemy.

This way, he shouldn't end up with any other fate, influenced by others, or prevented from crossing the threshold of death. (Bait)

"Seriously, I know you guys work really hard. As for responsibility, there really is responsibility. For those who trample on the progress of others, there are definitely things to bear, things they have no choice but to bear."

"Going to fulfill our responsibilities is fine too. Since we've decided what to do, let's do it. But have you all forgotten about the crucial commander?! I don't think I'm that insignificant!" Ling

But Napoleon stepped forward first, and without saying a word, he simply held the giant cannon he had been gripping horizontally across his chest. 5.

"I'm right here!"
