Crystalline tears rolled down the girl's face. Her beautiful appearance and sobbing voice were so moving, but all she got in return was a cold laugh from Izu.
"Hmph! Why? Because you rebelled with that Amakusa Shiro! Not only that, you even collected food for them. Who else would be killed if not you? Besides, who do you think you are! You lowly commoner, how dare you negotiate with me!"
Izu kicked the beautiful girl aside, and then a huge fire broke out from the vast execution platform. All the prisoners were chained to the stone blocks and had no way to escape!
Burning at the stake was an extremely painful punishment because the flames burned the skin for a short time without hitting any vital organs, while blood continued to seep out.
By the time the internal organs were burned, it was already some time later.
The screams echoed throughout the entire Shimabara Castle at that moment, and the girl in front of Izu, after being stunned for a long time, suddenly burst into wild laughter, clearly having gone mad.
"Tch, what a bad omen on such a fine day. Let's drag her away and let the brothers have some fun with her. I don't want a crazy woman around me."
Upon hearing Izu's words, the two guards, both in their forties and fifties, who had long coveted the girl, immediately dragged her aside, and soon the entire shogunate army was in an uproar.
On one side were the Shimabara residents screaming in agony as they were burned by flames.
On one side, the shogunate army was joyfully and excitedly boiling over.
"Furthermore, pass on my order: leave no one alive in Shimabara Castle. After the women have their fun, remember to execute them. As for the men, just kill them."
At this moment, Amakusa Shiro was completely stunned.
At the same time, the surrounding scenery changed again, and they found themselves in an extremely dark space.
Then, a girl named Yuho slowly walked out from the end of the darkness and looked at the fair-skinned and handsome boy.
"See? It's all because of you that we've ended up like this. All of this is because of you, because of you, you foolish, self-righteous savior!"
"It is because of you that more than 20,000 people in Shimabara Castle were massacred and humiliated. It is because of you that farmers who could have survived died tragically. The elderly, women, children... no one escaped the shogunate's sword!"
Yuho rattled off a string of words like a machine gun, her eyes filled with utter loathing!
"You're wrong. I'm not a savior, and I've never considered myself one."
Just then, Amakusa Shiro, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, and his answer stunned the girl in front of him.
"You're lying! You are! You want to use the power of the Holy Grail to bathe the entire world in the Third Law, so that you can become the saint of the new world. You are essentially just a selfish and despicable person to the extreme!"
Seemingly somewhat surprised by Amakusa Shiro's response, Yuho's words became even more vicious.
"I am not a saint, I have never been, and I will never be, and I have never considered myself a saint."
Amakusa Shiro stared at the pitch blackness around him, and then—the surrounding scenery suddenly changed to a desolate land, and the desolate land was filled with people who had scattered and fled.
It was desolate, utterly desolate, with not even a trace of grass to be seen.
"Look at these scenes... everywhere are people fleeing because of hunger. The shogunate's exorbitant taxes have filled countless poor people with despair, and they have even resorted to cannibalism."
"Meanwhile, the big shots were singing and dancing in their homes, enjoying a dinner that would cost ordinary people ten years of hard work."
"Look at these! Just because they believed in God and Catholicism, so many people had their homes ransacked and their families wiped out. So many people suffered innocent torture: waterboarding, burning, branding, needle torture, and being forced to drink sulfur water!"
"Are we destined to be treated like this, fated to be at their mercy for the rest of our lives, to starve to death, and to endure these tortures?!"
"No! I want to create a way out for them. Even if I fail, at least there was a possibility of success. If we don't take action, we won't even see the slightest possibility!"
1.9 “I experienced World War II, in which 60 million people died. This made me realize one thing: the deep-seated flaws in human nature can never be overcome. Disease, disaster, poverty, and hunger are happening every moment.”
"Humans cannot change the established reality of this world by their own power. Even if they succeed, they will only fall into a vicious cycle that occurs every few hundred years. This world will not change and will always remain the same."
"Therefore, I will use the Holy Grail, I will use the power of law, I will make this world the ideal it is, and I am willing to pay any price for it, even my own life!"
"Did you understand, Shakespeare?"

Semiramis was caught in a dilemma.
Should they use the eleventh black coffin to defend against the approaching Purple Team members and be blasted down, or rush to the secret chamber to manipulate the controlled Caster Master to use Command Seals to order Shakespeare to deactivate his Noble Phantasm?
However, at this crucial moment, she did not hesitate for long, but made a decisive decision.
"After all, he's the man I've set my sights on... Well, if he can't even overcome this little hurdle, then there's no point in talking about saving all of humanity."
She glanced at Amakusa Shiro, who was enveloped in a golden light, and chuckled. Then she fixed her gaze on Shen Qiu and his group, who were riding on a hawk and speeding towards the Sky Garden.
"Turn to ashes beneath the miracles of the Age of Gods, you foolish rebels!"
Semiramis raised her right arm, and in an instant, her body resonated with the Hanging Gardens, and her spirit became one with them.
At the same time, eleven massive black stone slabs, each twenty meters long and engraved with divine incantations, were aimed at the eleven eagles and Shen Qiu riding on them, and a faint purple light began to appear on the surface of the stone slabs.
Shen Qiu couldn't help but smile wryly after witnessing this scene. He hadn't expected his luck to be so bad. He had actually run into something with a 50% probability?
The pink-haired young knight panicked upon seeing this scene. He had previously experienced the terrifying power of the magic cannon and had been nearly killed by it.
Even the hawk seemed to be tense. It had been blasted into spirit particles. Although it could be reassembled at any time with enough magic power, the process was still unpleasant.
"Waaah! Master, it's up to you now. I don't want to experience being blasted to the ground again. That feeling is just too painful."
Astolfo said with some fear.
"Hmph, are you scared now? But it's too late. How foolish you are. You've already failed once, yet you still foolishly tried again. Fine, this time I'll go all out and cleanly crush your idea."
Semiramis's expression began to panic as she watched the screen. Astolfo, without further hesitation, let out a sharp voice—
"The Black Coffin of the Eleventh Month - TiamtumUmu!!!"
Meanwhile, inside the courtyard.
Although Atalanta's eyes did not possess the extraordinary long-range vision of Chiron, as the most famous female hunter in Calydon, she was blessed by the hunting goddess Artemis and possessed eyes that were historically described as "sharp as an eagle."
Therefore, she noticed Shen Qiu and his group the moment they arrived on their eagles, and at the same time, she couldn't hide her excitement.
Shen Qiu wasn't lying to her! They really did have the strength to rival the Red Team, and they even wiped out the Black Team on the battlefield below before coming up. If that were the case, her wish might come true!
However, the thought of that handsome Japanese boy always stirred up a strange emotion in her heart. At that moment, Shen Qiu could have killed her when she had lost her mind, but in the end she stopped.
Not only that, but he also healed his wounds and even... shared a bed with him.
Finally, he patiently tried to find a way to fulfill her wish. To be honest, she had never met such a good "man" before.
Because of her past life, she had a natural distrust of men. In order to beat her in the race, Hippomenes asked Aphrodite, the goddess of love, for help to cheat. He eventually won Atalanta and made her his wife.
However, Hippomenes forgot to pay the god of love, and the angry god of love led them to the temple of Cybele, the mother of the gods, where they committed acts of defilement. The angry Cybele transformed them into lions who would forever pull her chariot.
As one of the few independent women of that era (boxing was forbidden), Atalanta could have lived a carefree life even without marriage, relying on her outstanding martial arts and archery skills. However, she was eventually forced by her father to set up a bet.
However, because of his beauty, Hippomenes went so far as to cheat in order to win him over. That would have been fine, but his affair implicated Atalanta, leading to a tragic end.
No one could accept this.
But Shen Qiu was different.
In the direct confrontation, he had given it his all, using every move he could muster, but he still couldn't defeat Shen Qiu, who had already killed a group of heroic spirits. Not to mention Shen Qiu at his peak, who was clearly much stronger than him.
Moreover, the opponent's leadership is outstanding. He is not only brave but also incredibly resourceful. He single-handedly turned the entire Black side, Red side, and even Ruler into his pieces.
After defeating himself, the opponent even used his own power to heal himself without doing anything else. This shows that Shen Qiu is different from those absurd so-called Greek heroes. He can be said to be a true gentleman.
She was quite confident in her beauty. After all, countless men had died because of her. If they had encountered her, would they have been able to resist the urge to do anything to her?
Don't even think about it.
643
He even patiently explained to me what the Holy Grail really was and how to truly fulfill my wishes... and so on.
"I, Atalanta, am determined to have this man!"
The cat-eared girl clenched her fist and made a decision in her heart. However, given the other party's excellence, she guessed that he already had a woman, and in her judgment, Shen Qiu was no longer a virgin.
“However, I don’t care. The man I, Atalanta, set my sights on is mine. I will get him no matter what.” The girl stood up and looked towards the sky garden in the depths.
"Since he's already fighting, I have to help him out in some way. Given Assassin and the priest's extremely cautious nature, the Masters definitely wouldn't be on the church. They're probably in some secret room in the courtyard right now."
"This secret room must be located not too far from them, otherwise it would be too late to control the Master to use the Command Spell immediately. They must have also taken some precautions."
As a female hunter, Atalanta's excellence lies not only in combat and bravery, but also in her considerable intelligence. However, she prefers straightforward combat to indirect thinking.
"Got it!"

The vast Romanian plains.
The once flat grassland is now littered with embers of fire, and the churning soil and rubble on the ground clearly indicate that it has just been destroyed.
a mess.
At the edge of the plain, a tall figure knelt, his golden spear deeply embedded in the ground to ensure he wouldn't collapse from his injuries.
"I was careless; I didn't expect the opponent's Noble Phantasm to be..."
Blood dripped continuously from Karna's forehead, and cracks appeared on his golden armor, though it shimmered with a faint white light, as both the wounds and the armor were constantly repairing themselves.
Thinking about this, Karna felt quite annoyed. The other party had already revealed his name, so why hadn't he thought of this?
[Special Attack Against Gods]
This is an extremely rare attribute among Heroic Spirits, possessed only by those who defied the gods in their lifetime or harbored great hatred for them.
Karna, as the son of the sun god Surya, possesses the highest level of divinity [A]. With divinity, his strength and agility will be greatly enhanced in battle.
However, if you encounter a God-specific attack, it will be a complete debuff. The higher your divinity, the more damage you will suffer when facing a God-specific attack.
