When Jeanne d'Arc saw Astolfo carrying the other Red Masters, who had been unconscious due to Semiramis's poison, back to the surface, her anger reached a breaking point.

Amakusa Shirou arbitrarily trampled on the rules of the Holy Grail War, imprisoned the other Masters on his side, sent Rider to kill her, and even wanted to use the power of the Greater Grail to bathe the entire world in the Third Law.

One thing after another seemed to be ignoring her, the Ruler.

"We can't continue to sit idly by like this; he has to pay a heavy price!"

So he asked Astolfo to send him to the Sky Garden to face the judge of the Third Holy Grail War, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

"Yes, I did it, so what, Ruler?"

The dark-skinned priest, "650," looked calmly at the somewhat indignant young saint, as if he had already anticipated her reaction.

"Don't you have even the slightest bit of remorse? What do you think of the rules of the Holy Grail War?!" Seeing Amakusa Shirou's indifferent attitude, even the good-natured saintess lost her temper.

Are there really people like this?

“You know what, Ruler?”

As the last wisp of primordial rune went out, Amakusa Shiro breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that the opponent's magical power was not as great as his own.

It's not over yet; there's still a chance.

"What you said makes me feel very naive... How should I put it? It's like the words of a country girl who hasn't experienced the ways of the world, full of morality... rules... To be honest, it's quite foolish."

"you!"

Joan of Arc's eyes widened, seemingly surprised that Amakusa Shiro would say such a thing.

The translation is: "You're like a clueless country bumpkin."

"The so-called rules are made by people. There are never any absolute rules in this world. For me, whether it is the rules of the Holy Grail War or anything else, they can all be used by me."

“Since it is set by humans, it can naturally be broken, because it is not an ironclad rule that the sun must rise in the east and set in the west. Joan of Arc, I am willing to pay any price to realize the ideal of saving all mankind.”

Shen Qiu coldly observes Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who has lost an arm but is still talking eloquently. Putting aside the mission of the main god, Amakusa Shiro is actually an idealist like Emiya Kiritsugu.

The two men's experiences were quite similar; both suffered tragic events in their youth, subsequently losing hope in the world and humanity, and ultimately concluding that only the "omnipotent wish-granting machine," the Greater Grail, could save the world.

They all overestimated that big cup. If such a thing could change the world and humanity, what would be the point of humanity's evolution over the past tens of thousands of years?

Will using the Third Law to materialize the souls of all humanity eliminate conflict and battle? Will war truly disappear? Will humanity cease to become vile?

You're overthinking it; that's impossible.

However, he did not say these words aloud. Just as he told Atalanta, everyone has the right to pursue their own dreams, and no matter what kind of dream it is, it should not be ridiculed.

His mana was rapidly recovering; the level two Void Prophet bloodline had greatly enhanced all aspects of his physique, and his depleted mana would be replenished within fifteen minutes at most.

"Very well, in that case, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, are you ready—"

"Will you be punished for violating the regulations?"

Given Jeanne's abilities, it would be quite difficult for her to defeat Amakusa Shiro in a verbal battle, so she simply gave up on the idea of ​​making him admit his mistake.

A powerful magical force emanated from Joan of Arc's body, filled with radiance and holiness. Even Shen Qiu couldn't help but marvel at the purity of this magical force.

"Mr. Shen, can I do you a favor?"

Just then, the girl with the golden ponytail turned around and asked Shen Qiu a question, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Of course, I don't know what you want..."

At this moment, Shen Qiu had a pretty good idea of ​​the girl's choice. He truly hadn't expected her to still choose this path.

"Could you use my flag to help me defend myself? I intend to use my second Noble Phantasm to punish the Crimson Master named Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, otherwise the Holy Grail War will be completely without rules."

Looking into the saintess's determined eyes, Shen Qiu smiled and accepted the silver-white banner, about two meters tall and embroidered with golden irises, from her hand.

Noble Phantasm.

The moment Shen Qiu received the flag, he felt a completely different sensation, as if possessing this flag would allow him to withstand any attack or harm.

This banner represents the will of a young girl named Joan of Arc.

"A second Noble Phantasm... Semiramis, I need your help!"

Upon seeing Jeanne handing the flag to Shen Qiu, Amakusa Shiro's expression immediately turned grim. In order to deal with Shen Qiu, Zero-Summon's magic power storage had reached its limit, and if it tried to resist the attack any further, it would undoubtedly explode.

"Understood, Master. I will use magic to provide you with remote assistance, so please rest assured... Who is it!"

At this moment, Semiramis, in the central control room, stared in disbelief at the enormous iron door that had been split in two, a door he had made using a variety of extremely sturdy materials such as silver, titanium, steel, and concrete.

Furthermore, numerous sturdy magic spells were engraved on it, yet this door, which he had meticulously crafted, was cut in two like this.

1.9 "Empress Semiramis, I wasn't wrong, was I? By order of Master, I have come to punish you, you heartless woman. My name is Okita Souji, prepare to face your punishment!"

She was a short girl dressed in light blue.

"Where did this little brat come from, daring to cause trouble here! Master, give me some time to handle things here, and I'll come to your aid immediately!"

Semiramis looked at Okita Souji, who was holding a katana, with a sneer. How dare he challenge her when he was just a weak Assassin from the modern era with low stats in every aspect?

"Little girl, are you interested in joining our side? It would be such a waste if you died now..."

"Announcement: Open!"

Upon hearing that something had happened to Semiramis, Amakusa Shiro decisively took the initiative to launch an attack, sending dozens of katanas flying toward Jeanne d'Arc!

Shen Qiu held his breath and focused intently on the silver-white flag in his hand. Activating this flag did not require consuming any magic power in his body. The dozens of magic katanas vanished instantly after colliding with the holy flag.

"As expected of a Noble Phantasm!"

Shen Qiu looked at the silver-white banner embroidered with golden irises in his hand with some excitement. He could only say that a treasure was a treasure, incomparable to ordinary weapons.

With a flash of golden spiritual energy, a delicate silver cross sword appeared in Joan of Arc's hand. The girl took a deep breath and then knelt down on the ground in reverence.

"No! We have to find a way to stop her!"

Seeing the blonde girl being tightly protected by Shen Qiu and Afu, Amakusa Shiro bit his lip in resentment. He had to, he had to think of some way!

"The heavens are the glory of the Lord."

At that very moment, Joan of Arc's devout prayer reached the ears of everyone present.

The girl's chanting was very pleasant to hear, and it seemed to have a calming and calming effect on Shen Qiu, Afu, and the others. Shen Qiu could even feel that the magic power in his body was recovering at an accelerated rate.

This is the radiance of the saint.

However, the sound was incredibly grating to Amakusa Shirou. He didn't know how strong Jeanne's second Noble Phantasm was, but generally speaking, Noble Phantasms that require a long time to prepare and guide are not weak.

Take, for example, Semiramis's vain hanging gardens.

"The vast sky is the Lord's great undertaking."

"To convey messages by day."

"The night imparts knowledge."

Joan of Arc did not use the silver cross sword to fight; instead, she gripped it tightly in her palm, blade and all, and as she softly chanted, crimson blood trickled from her palm.

However, she herself seemed not to feel any pain at all.

"My heart is warming up inside me."

"As longing burns fiercely—"

At this moment, the cross sword shone with an extremely dazzling light, and even Shen Qiu could feel the powerful force contained in Joan of Arc's hands!

Astolfo, standing to the side, was momentarily stunned by what he saw.

"Damn demon! Devil! Witch! Bitch! This damned liar, how despicable, how despicable, how despicable!!! The fact that someone like this could become a saint is the greatest irony of Catholicism!"

Shakespeare trembled as he looked at the saintly figure bathed in golden light, seemingly incomparably holy. Against the backdrop of the Hundred Years' War between England and France, Joan of Arc, for a long time after her execution, was portrayed by England as a symbol of impurity, evil, and harlot.

Shakespeare can be said to have been at the forefront of shaping these characters.

Of course, all of the above descriptions are slanders. Joan of Arc is one of the very few true saints recognized by the world and formally established by the Church. Her noble character is still admired by people today.

The surrounding temperature suddenly rose, but this rising temperature felt different from the primordial flames of Shen Qiu. It was not a simple burning sensation, but rather made everyone around feel warm.

It seemed to warm people's hearts.

After knocking away the dozens of magic swords controlled by Amakusa Shiro once again, Shen Qiu knew that Amakusa Shiro was now at his wit's end and was in a state of isolation and helplessness.

"Here I will meet my end, here I offer my destiny, here I offer the illusion of my life."

"Use the only remaining thing to stop the ideals of the man named Amakusa Shiro Tokisada."

The girl opened her eyes, and then, the crimson lotus that seemed to pierce the sky roared out from her body, engulfing her entirely in just a few seconds!

"This is... her second Noble Phantasm!"

Amakusa Shiro clenched and unclenched his fists repeatedly, as if he were pondering something. After a few seconds of hesitation, he mumbled something, seemingly having finally made up his mind.

And a Command Seal vanished with it.

Shen Qiu felt a blur before his eyes. When he opened them again, everything around him was engulfed in a ghostly blue flame.

And the blonde girl named Joan of Arc stood beside him.

"Hello, Mr. Shen, young man from Japan. There are some things I've kept in my heart for a long time, but I haven't had the chance to say them yet. First of all... I think I need to thank you for your help."

Shen Qiu stared blankly at the smiling girl in front of him, seemingly not expecting her to say that.

His purpose in saving Joan of Arc was simple: he hoped to gain her assistance while deliberately increasing Joan of Arc's anger towards the Red Party in order to achieve his own goal.
