Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

'The convergence of all faiths within the Christian foundation of the Type-Moon universe, along with the radiant light of outer heavens, can briefly grant you the state of 'Innocent Adam,' but this will consume the power of your Saint character card. The longer the effect lasts, the longer the card is disabled!'

His outer armor, the Dead Sea, vanished, replaced by this new piece of equipment, Mi.

"Huh? Why is it Adam? Why not Michael?"

The instant this startling thought occurred to him, his golden armor, golden wings, spear, and halo all vanished!

Dongjiang stared in astonishment at his completely naked body, with only a large patch of fig leaves concealing him. (This is from the latest work by the author, Life Absorber, titled "Crossing Through Heavens, Can You Be Smarter Than Me?", exclusively released on the book club forum.)

A moment of silence, the wind rustling through the grass.

"Hahahaha, after all this preparation, you've put on such a ridiculous farce!!!" The seven-headed, ten-horned red dragon sneered at the naked man before it.

After saying that, she even stopped releasing the light cannons, and her seven heads opened their blood-red mouths, ready to bite Dongjiang in one gulp.

However, Tsurugi instinctively raised his foot and smacked the bright red dragon head that had poked its head out first.

Then--

A wave that easily tore through the atmosphere appeared above this head.

"Croak!!!!"

The seven-headed, ten-horned red dragon let out a miserable cry. Caught off guard by the sudden force, it was instantly knocked to the ground, smashing through the city and the earth, before sinking into a deep pit!

Tsuruga blinked, looking at her fist with a blank expression, then looked at her attributes and seemed to understand everything!

Having become Adam, he indeed lost the complex skills and brilliance of a paladin, but these powers did not disappear; rather, they were transformed into his basic attributes!

At this moment, he had lost all his skills. What he gained in return was the power of a purely innocent, primordial being!

In other words, the effect of this Mystic Code is equivalent to converting all your power into your most basic and purest attribute points.

Returning to the basics + magic to physical + from the heart to the object

In an instant, Tsurugi's confidence exploded. With just a gentle clap of his hands, the sonic boom that erupted instantly shattered the air thousands of meters ahead.

"I once told you, in heaven, you'd only be considered a little girl~"

He looked down at the great red dragon struggling to crawl out of the deep pit, beckoned with a finger and revealed a sly smile, while he found himself wearing a white bodysuit and a bed sheet that he had just found to serve as a cloak.

The beast responded with a roar of resentment and rage, and seven dragon heads soared into the sky, carrying seven pillars of light that pierced through the heavens and earth!

A seven-headed, ten-horned red dragon versus innocent, primordial humans!

Wow, what follows is sure to be an earth-shattering battle!!!

not at all.

Tsurugi finished the fight in seven seconds.

Dongjiang first kicked each of the seven heads that were causing the light pollution, and after smashing all seven of them, she grabbed the big red dragon by the tail as it was recovering with a wail, and threw it into the Mediterranean Sea in a standard shot put position!

The headless red dragon crashed into the ocean with a thunderous roar, polluting the entire Mediterranean Sea with its blood before quickly recovering.

"Caw! Mortal, how dare you—"

Tsurugi landed on his head, its toes constantly tapping the air to maintain its 'flying' motion. It tilted its head, revealing a healthy smile with eight teeth.

"Wow, the first humans!" Alaya exclaimed.

"Shut up, you filthy bitch!" Dongjiang glared at the sky, then looked at the giant red dragon churning in the sea, revealing an even healthier smile.

"Listen, my love, I love you so much. Okay! I'll send you to heaven right now!"

He slammed his fist down, and an explosion instantly spread between his fists. Immediately afterward, a well-preserved, burnt-out holy book fell to the ground.

The book fell all the way down and finally disappeared into the waves.

The seven heads of the great red dragon, now restored, looked at the human with a healthy smile before them, and an indescribable terror spread through their chests!

"Quack, stay away from me!!!"

Two pairs of sky-covering dragon wings unfolded instantly, and with the great red dragon's screams, it carried her away from this place at breakneck speed!

However, Tsurugi stepped on thin air and instantly caught up with it, stomping on its back and knocking it into the sea!

The big red dragon screamed in agony, but it couldn't stop Tsurugi's fists from pounding into her body again and again.

The so-called immortality, the so-called inability to be killed, is nothing more than not being broken into pieces or not being attacked hard enough.

Dongjiang laughed loudly, wildly swinging her fists and smashing them against the Great Red Dragon, blasting out the souls she had devoured one by one.

"Pry it open yourself!"

Then, Tsurugi grabbed her tail and flew to the highest point in the sky, before kicking her down hard.

The giant red dragon plummeted into the Pacific Ocean like a meteor, and then was lifted up again in the next second.

Grab him, stomp on him, grab him, stomp on him, grab him, stomp on him.

After brutally beating his opponent for seven seconds, Tsugumi proved that he was a ruthless fighter and successfully dragged the Beast of Sodom out of the ocean current that had caused dozens of tsunamis with his blows, and threw it back to Rome.

266>>>>>>

And the great red dragon's powerful spirit foundation, which he had prepared for a very long time, was smashed to pieces by his bare fists.

Beast: Croak! No way, no way!

Of course, Tsugumi did use all his strength. At this moment, having deactivated his transformation, he was perhaps at his weakest since entering this world, for a saint.

The young beast, who had been beaten and turned back into a little girl, looked at the approaching Tsurugi with a face full of terror and burst into tears!

"Why did you do this? It hurts so much! You're the one who provoked Yu!" The Beast of Sodom, no, Nero, with a head full of bumps, looked at Tsugumi with teary eyes, and as her body gradually dissipated, she burst into tears.

"Wow! The country is gone, everything is gone, it's all your fault, you traitor, you demon, you tyrant!"

Nero threw herself into Tsurugi's arms and punched his chest with her little fists; at that moment, she was no longer the cub she had been just moments before.

Nero is indeed still Nero. Although he obtained the Beast's Spirit Origin, his true self is always preserved.

Her earlier outburst was due to the Beast's malicious information taking over; she has seven heads, but her self will not be changed like those fused Servants, she is just forced to hide inside her body and watch this beast control her.

Fortunately, before she could see anything bad, she was grabbed and brutally beaten by Tsurugi.

With Tsugumi's 'physical exorcism', Beast's will crumbled.

A large part of the reason for this is probably the mark left in her body when Tsugumi used her own flesh and blood to repair it.

The so-called Seven Seals came from the corrupting power of his true demonic nature seeping into Nero's body. It was like a drop of ink falling into milk; though only a tiny amount, it forever changed the color of the milk.

The world cannot replicate the true existence from Dongjiang.

Nero, corrupted by the Tsurugi River, possessed a unique characteristic unique to the finite multiverse of Type-Moon, and consequently, even the Beast's Spirit Origin could not change her.

But then another thorny problem arises.

"Dong Jiangqing, it seems I'm almost dead."

After complaining, Nero watched the body and soul gradually dissipate, his cheeks and nose flushed, and murmured...

Because of its unique multiverse nature, Nero's demise at this moment will affect the synchronization of all other universes. It will modify all existence within his universe, thus synchronizing this state.

Because of Tsurugi, this beast's spirit core was shattered, and Nero himself was also on the verge of death.

If Nero were to die, she would truly be dead, and her figure would no longer be on the Throne of Heroes, nor would 'Nero' even exist in the finite multiverse.

"I truly don't understand why you, this treacherous minister, would do such a thing? Has my empire been destroyed by you? Heh, but even without you, my fate would have been the same..."

Nero chuckled self-deprecatingly, her body gradually turning to ashes and dissipating. At that moment, she seemed to have come to terms with it all, speaking with a serene indifference.

"Although it's regrettable, you don't need to feel guilty. My willfulness and sins are the root of all these problems. You should go find a woman you love to spend the rest of your life with. As for that Queen of Britain, I think she's..."

"Shut up, have you forgotten what happened last time?" Dongjiang smacked her on the head, looking at her crouching down with her head in her hands, and said irritably.

Resurrecting Nero? He simply couldn't do it on his own. Even if he shed his current Adam state, his "redemption" wouldn't be able to resurrect Nero.

Putting aside the consequences of her being resurrected by the radiance of heaven as a beast, the mere fact that her soul still bears the mark of Tsurugi is a fatal matter.

But there are still ways to revive it.

Tsuruga cast the Curse of Ruin, first preserving Nero's soul to delay the moment of his spiritual foundation's collapse as much as possible, and then picked up her golden cup.

It didn't have any special attributes; it seemed to be just a cup—but he still put it away.

Then he returned to Rome, slapped his hand to extinguish all the fires in the city, and deactivated his transformation. In a state of exhaustion, he was urgently returned to his demon character card. He then found Peter and the others' Gundams and gathered them together. After settling Nero back in Rome, he planned to revive the guys first—the ox and horse needed rest, but they couldn't just go home easily!

Oh, and there's also the issue of settling displaced people, recalling the populace, and a whole host of other problems that made Dongjiang's scalp tingle—

Trust in the wisdom of future generations!

Let's deal with the immediate issues first!

Then he looked up at the sky and shouted loudly.

"Stop talking nonsense, there's only one last step left, right? Then let's begin! You don't want me to drag you down with her, do you? Then take me where I need to go!"

The heavens remained silent, but after a moment, a summoning seal lit up beneath Dongjiang's feet.

Fuyuki, The Fourth Holy Grail War

Tsuruga is about to complete its final closed loop.

-----------

P.S.: Here comes the 6,000-word chapter! The Type-Moon Rome arc has ended, exactly ten days ago! To be honest, without any information or plot, it's really hard to write and there's not much to write about, but I can't leave the plot unfinished—writing about trophies is still easier! However, even so, I don't plan to copy the plot of World War IV exactly; a major modification and a big mix-up are a must!

One day ago

"We won, Kirei. This battle is our victory!"

When the golden figure appeared as the circuits in the magic circle dissipated, Tokiomi Tohsaka, on the night of the summoning, couldn't help but cheer and wave his hands in admiration as he peered at that majestic light, forgetting all about his usual elegance!

The golden king, the oldest king, stands at the pinnacle of all Servants—Gilgamesh!

Drawing such a card means they've already declared themselves the winners of the Holy Grail War, right?

"Yes, congratulations, teacher."

Kirei Kotomine sincerely congratulated his teacher, but also regretted that his teacher had not summoned another Servant.

That lost saint, the one who extinguished the holy voice, the Lord's dearest friend.
