He admitted that before meeting Joan of Arc, he had always viewed the young girl with prejudice, feeling that her "Joan-style fairness" was something to be criticized and that her personality seemed to be too perfect.

However, the girl was not what he thought.

“I’m a little scared and a little ashamed. I’m scared because I’m afraid that I haven’t fulfilled my responsibilities as Ruler. Have everything I’ve done so far been fair? It seems so, but it also seems not to be.”

The girl's face was slightly flushed, and her tone also carried a hint of regret.

"I am ashamed that there were many violations in this Holy Grail War, both the Red and Black sides committed some to varying degrees, and as the Ruler, I failed to stop these behaviors. I am ashamed to be a referee."

Her tone was filled with regret, and she seemed to feel somewhat guilty.

Meanwhile, Shen Qiu, standing to the side, felt for the first time a sensation that seemed...uncomfortable?

It turned out that the girl was not what she had imagined; from beginning to end, she remained noble and pure.

Blue flames scattered out, revealing Shen Qiu and Jeanne d'Arc within them. A beautiful rose bloomed on the cross-shaped sword in her hand.

The French love roses.

"Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, I don't know what you went through to want to use the Greater Grail to fulfill that wish, but no matter what, I will not allow that to happen!"

The girl's bright silver armor shone with a unique brilliance at this moment. She raised the cross-shaped longsword that was blooming with roses, and boundless red lotuses surged out from the flowers at this moment!

"LaPucelle, the Crimson Saintess!"

Noble Phantasm: [Crimson Saintess - EX]

It is an ultimate Noble Phantasm that requires a long prayer and chanting before use, and is used at the cost of one's own life.

It is a conceptual weapon crystallized from the mental landscape of a girl named Jeanne d'Arc, using the sword of Saint Catherine, which Ruler never used in his lifetime, as a catalyst to manifest the flames that burned him in the past, that is, karmic fire.

Even though Joan of Arc suffered an injustice and was burned at the stake before her death, her faith in the Lord and the Father never wavered until the very moment of her death. This faith transformed into her will and created this EX-rank Noble Phantasm.

Since it's an EX-level weapon, its destructive power is immeasurable. This flame will only damage targets she deems necessary to destroy; it cannot be used against simple, powerful enemies or when driven by emotions such as hatred.

The blonde girl raised the cross-shaped sword blooming with roses, and boundless crimson flames rose from it. These flames from the gods even seemed to wail because the vain sky garden could not withstand them!

Everywhere was burning, the ground was burning, the air was burning, there was nowhere to hide, and the sea of ​​fire, which was about twenty or thirty meters high, seemed to be able to devour the priest named Amakusa Shiro in an instant!

"This is not a barrier, this is a world, its true name is—"

"A small world surrounded by the heavens - AchillesCosmos!!!"

At that moment, the green-haired cavalryman's signature voice came from directly above, and then a round shield was thrown in front of Amakusa Shiro.

Just as Afu and Jeanne were both puzzled, the green shield suddenly burst forth with a dazzling green light, enveloping Amakusa Shiro completely, and even making him begin to appear ethereal.

Immediately afterwards, countless ancient Roman city-states sprang up around Amakusa Shiro: the Colosseum, the Parthenon of Athena, the Pantheon dedicated to all the gods, the Lateran Temple...

These buildings, which had long since disappeared into the annals of history, or even those that had survived but had become dilapidated, now shone as if they had just been built, each radiating a powerful magical aura.

But that's not all! You can even see animals, mountains and rivers, towering peaks, ancient trees, and newly sprouted green grass.

What these buildings construct is not an army, not a city, not a country, but a world, a whole world that can function perfectly!

This is the ultimate defensive Noble Phantasm in this Holy Grail War, surpassing both the [Blood Armor of the Evil Dragon] and [Sun Wheel, Transform into Armor]—

[A Small World Surrounding the Sky - A+]!

This is a defensive barrier artifact comparable to the "Seven Rings Covering the Sky (RhoAias.‖)," a shield forged by Hephaestus, the god of forging. It projects the world as seen by Achilles, while the surrounding area is affected by surging ocean currents caused by the sea god.

To confront this shield is to confront the world; once activated, it can defend against people, armies, cities, nations, and even divine artifacts.

Moreover, this shield is also extremely famous in history. The Iliad uses a full eighteen lines of epic poetry to describe this shield, which shows its historical status.

Used by a legendary warrior and included in the epic Iliad, this is undoubtedly a top-tier Noble Phantasm in every respect.

"boom!!!"

The endless red lotuses and the deep green buildings collided with a deafening roar, and the resulting white light momentarily blinded everyone present.

"I command you with a Command Spell, Rider, do whatever it takes to prevent Ruler's Noble Phantasm from breaking through your defenses, no matter what!"

After regaining his senses, Amakusa Shiro couldn't help but show a look of joy when he saw the crimson flames that were being held back by the small world surrounding the sky. The opponent must have paid a very heavy price to be able to use a Noble Phantasm of this scale.

If we can withstand the attack, then we can sound the horn of counterattack!

This is the battle that will determine the final outcome of this Holy Grail War.

"I command my body with a Command Spell, Jeanne, please unleash the full potential within you!!!" The blonde beauty grew anxious as she watched the crimson flames being blocked, and frantically channeled her magical power.

"boom!!!"

With yet another wave of magic, the already vast Crimson Lotus Flame doubled in size, charging towards the small world surrounding the heavens with an even more ferocious attack. Under Jeanne's frenzied assault, a third of the buildings collapsed!

However, this is already the limit.

The girl looked at the green world in front of her with some confusion. Even though she had tried her best, she still couldn't break through this defense?

Indeed, that is the case. The small world surrounding the heavens, as a barrier artifact that transcends the inherent barrier, is a divine weapon forged by Hephaestus himself. Even Karna's Sun Wheel - Obedience to Death could not break it.

Back then, it was Astolfo who used it, but now it is the real Achilles who is using it, so its defensive power is naturally even higher.

Just then, Shen Qiu suddenly placed his hand on her shoulder.

"...You have done enough, Saintess. This was supposed to be my battle. Leave the rest to me."

Shen Qiu's uniquely clear voice came from behind Jeanne d'Arc. During the time Jeanne d'Arc had bought for him, his magical power had been fully restored and reached its peak.

"However, even with my abilities, I cannot... benefit."

Listening to the boy's words of comfort, Jeanne shook her head in disappointment. Even the Noble Phantasm of a Heroic Spirit couldn't break that shield (Wang Li's). No matter how strong Shen Qiu was, he was just an ordinary person. What else could he do?

"No, believe me, all you need to do now is stand behind me."

Shen Qiu walked up to the saintess and gave her a bright smile.

"Red's Rider, Achilles, if I remember correctly, your Noble Phantasm is a barrier Noble Phantasm, right?"

Shen Qiu gazed at Achilles not far away and asked calmly.

"Of course, this is an entire world inside! It is the most durable treasure in the world!" Achilles smiled disdainfully as he looked at Shen Qiu, who seemed to have already lost.

"Is that so...? One world, then so be it!"

Just then, a series of violent whirlwinds suddenly swept across the entire sky garden!

Chapter 341: The Descends of the Sword of Divergence - The Creation of Heaven and Earth (Please Subscribe)

Beneath Shen Qiu's feet, gusts of violent wind howled outwards from him towards the entire sky garden. The magical power contained within this wind, which seemed capable of severing everything, caused Achilles, who held the small world that surrounded the heavens, to change his expression.

"That's... Master's direction."

After sensing this extraordinary magic, Karna temporarily stopped clashing swords with Oda Nobunaga, and the two of them almost simultaneously turned their gazes to the distance.

“Mr. Shen..…”

At this moment, Atalanta, who had just arrived, widened her eyes. What kind of magic was this? She had never encountered anything like it before! Just sensing it was enough to make this first female hunter of Calydon feel palpitations and fear!

Shen Qiu ignored the stunned heroic spirits standing to the side. He took a deep breath and mobilized all the magic power he had recovered.

Then, a huge golden key appeared in his hand. After he pulled the huge golden key out completely, a "sword" exuding an aura of despair and destruction appeared before everyone's eyes!

The reason the word "sword" is in quotation marks is because it's difficult to describe this thing as truly a sword. It has a golden hilt, but the blade is indeed carved with strange black and red patterns.

"That thing is..."

When Semiramis saw Shen Qiu pull out his sword on the screen, her mouth gaped open in an "O" shape. She quickly glanced at the screen again to make sure she wasn't mistaken.

"How can it be..."

At this moment, the Assyrian empress felt dizzy.

"Rider, Achilles, your Noble Phantasm is a world, isn't it?"

At this moment, Shen Qiu was suspended in mid-air, looking down at the large green building complex and Achilles and Amakusa Shiro Tokisada hidden among it, his tone cold as if he had no emotion at all.

When using this Noble Phantasm, one must maintain a calm and composed mind; otherwise, one will lose control of its immense power and go berserk.

"Of course! This is a collection of all the humans, animals, plants, buildings, and so on that I have ever seen, forged by the blacksmithing god Hephaestus. As for the young man named Shen Qiu, I advise you to give up. Nothing can break my shield!"

Even though he felt the immense pressure from the sword Ea, Achilles stubbornly stood up. This shield, unique in ancient Greek mythology, was the source of his confidence!

"Is that so? But it doesn't matter... I'll tell you about the origin of this Noble Phantasm."

A large amount of magic power surged into Shen Qiu's body into the EA, which was virtually identical to the original in appearance. Now we can see who is stronger!

Shen Qiu gently raised the sword in his right hand and aimed it at the area shrouded in green light. Then, a gale dozens of times stronger than before suddenly rose up, and the air seemed to groan in agony!

"Narrive at the beginning."

Before everyone's eyes, a strange thing happened to the Ea sword in Shen Qiu's hand: the blade actually started to...spin!

The boy's unique, clear voice gently reached the ears of Atalanta, Joan of Arc, Astolfo, and all the heroic spirits present.

If any of them had ever seen the Archer named Gilgamesh, they would probably understand that Shen Qiu was now chanting the ultimate release incantation for the Ea sword!

"At the dawn of creation, even nothingness offered its congratulations."

"With my Ea sword—I will tear the world apart!"

After this sentence was read, almost everyone present knew the true name of this treasure. That's right, it was the legendary weapon that belonged to the oldest hero king and was superior to divine weapons.
