It's as if doing this will make them safe.

"Three-Step Kill!"

"This is the ultimate killing technique honed by the swordsman named Souji Souen over a lifetime. I swear in my name, Empress, prepare to die—"

"Nameless - Triple Thrust!"

In Semiramis's eyes, the three gleaming katanas that had transformed into Kikuichimonji Norimune rushed toward her from three directions at the same time, and the magic shield she had erected shattered into powder like fragile glass the moment it touched the katanas.

Then, a sharp pain came from the spiritual core located in the heart.

"Aa ...

Chapter 345: The Collapsed Courtyard - The Curtain Falls (Please Subscribe)

"The mortar of stars, the eve of creation in the heavens, is the end of creation."

"Maximum release of the Divergent Sword—"

"EnumaElish: The Star of Creation!"

Gazing at the boundless, grassy green world, Shen Qiu, suspended in mid-air, roared and unleashed the full power of the Ea sword in his hand. Magical power powerful enough to tear through space surged mercilessly from this legendary weapon!

His right arm was trembling and breaking apart, his flesh and blood disintegrating every second, but under Avalon's powerful healing, it was restored to its original state in the next second.

However, this pain is real.

The exquisite ancient Greek architecture was instantly reduced to dust by the crimson magic that was enough to destroy everything. The absolute defense that even the Crimson Lotus Saintess could not break was now as fragile as paper, crumbling at the slightest touch.

This is the Sword of Divergence!

As a Noble Phantasm that transcends divine weaponry and is born from the world itself, even if the Ea in Shen Qiu's hand is not the original but a Faker, with only one-sixth of the power of the original, it is enough.

Just as Gilgamesh never unleashed the full power of Ea, no one knows the true limit of Ea. Perhaps it can truly tear the world apart, so even one-sixth of its power is enough for 650 to destroy a city.

"Woo!!!"

After the small world surrounding the heavens was shattered, Shen Qiu did not cease his output of magic. The crimson shockwave mercilessly slammed into the floor of the vain sky garden, and then—

They actually managed to break through it!

The boy roared and howled, and under the terrifying consumption of magic power, the magic power he had just recovered was depleted within a few dozen seconds. The consumption of this treasure was completely beyond Shen Qiu's expectations.

Then, everything went black in his vision.

On the other side, in the central control room.

"Ah... I actually... lost?"

The peerless beauty with a venomous scorpion looked at the three hideous wounds on her chest and let out a deep sigh. Blood dripped continuously from the wounds, but she seemed to feel no pain at all.

"Really... such an exit is truly..."

Semiramis shook her head with a wry smile. This sword-wielding girl was truly... excessively strong.

"Hey, little girl, how about I tell you something?"

Feeling the magic power rapidly draining from her body, the Empress turned her gaze to Okita Souji, who was less than five meters in front of her, her katana still dripping blood. Due to the poison of Hydra, she too had to leave the stage after defeating Semiramis.

"If you're going to beg for mercy, it's probably too late." The girl in the light green haori shook her head slightly and looked into the distance.

That was where Shen Qiu and his group were fighting.

Have you ever liked someone?

"Like someone?"

Upon hearing this, Souji was slightly surprised, seemingly not expecting the other party to say something like that.

"No, I died a long time ago. I wasn't even married before that." The girl shook her head. In her limited life, she had been honing her sword skills until the very end.

"Is that so? That's really boring... However, I don't seem to have the right to say that to you, after all, in my lifetime... ah, I never truly liked anyone."

"Alright, little girl, let's make a deal. You let me leave here, and I'll remove the Hydra poison from your body so you can go back to your Master and sign a contract again."

Perhaps because he was about to leave, Semiramis's tone was no longer as aggressive as before, but instead became gentle.

"Ouch...it hurts so much, it feels like my whole body has been torn apart..."

In a corner of the courtyard, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, whose priest's robes were already tattered, felt a jolt in his brain and waves of pain emanating from his nerves.

Then, cool water suddenly appeared in my mouth.

"This is..."

After struggling to open his eyes with all his might, he found himself lying in the arms of a woman, or more precisely, in the arms of Empress Semiramis.

"You actually drank the water that I, the oldest assassin, offered you? Aren't you afraid I'll poison it?"

Looking at the young priest in his arms, who was at most twenty years old, Semiramis mocked him mercilessly, though now the mockery sounded like flirting.

"Only you could make a joke like this at a time like this... How are my injuries? Where's Rider? Where is he? And Caster too."

As he spoke, the priest coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"They've all been eliminated. Even the spirit particles have disappeared. By the way, you're not much better off than him. All your nerves and magic circuits have been torn apart, and your spirit core has been shattered. You'll probably be leaving the stage soon."

Semiramis said calmly.

"Ah... is defeat inevitable? We've lost after all? Sixty years of hard work... all for naught. It's truly heartbreaking." The priest's expression couldn't hide his deep disappointment.

In the end, it still failed.

"I'm sorry, I may have to break my promise. I probably won't be able to crown you as the Empress of the New World. I don't think you'll blame me, will you?"

A faint smile appeared on Amakusa Shiro's lips, as if he was pleased that he had successfully cheated.

"Me too, I couldn't help you at the last moment, but... since everything has already settled, there's no point in talking about it anymore, Shiro."

Although Amakusa Shiro Tokisada is his real name, Semiramis prefers to call him by his alias "Kotomine Shiro" because it gives her a strange feeling.

"Actually, I knew from the beginning that the so-called Empress of the New World was just an excuse you used to appease me. But for me, none of that matters, because it is not my wish."

"Huh? This isn't your wish? This really is..." Upon hearing Semiramis's words, Amakusa Shiro couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Then could you tell me what your wish is—"

With a deafening roar, the sky garden, spanning over ten kilometers, began to crumble. Countless fragments of rock streaked across the sky like meteors, obscuring the two people's last words.

"Shiro, my wish..."

P.S.: I'm begging for flowers, tips, votes, auto-subscriptions, and anything else! Please, this really means a lot to me.

Chapter 346: The Sun Wheel - Obeying Death (Please Subscribe!)

"It seems your Master has already lost, Avenger."

Karna gazed at the black soil and stones beneath his feet, which were beginning to crumble, and said calmly, "The Vanity's Sky Garden is beginning to collapse, signifying that the Red Assassin, Semiramis, has begun to leave the stage."

Just now, an immense magical power emanated from not far away, which was undoubtedly his Master engaging in a final battle with a priest named Amakusa Shiro.

Now that the magic has dissipated, but the contract between himself and his Master remains intact, it means that the one who has lost can only be ~Amakusa Shirou.

The battle is decided.

“Indeed, Lancer. Just now I lost my contract with Master. The losers are indeed us.”

"but--"

At this point, the tall, red-haired, mature woman suddenly changed the subject.

"It would be such a shame if our battle ended here. No matter what, it would be such a pity if we fought for so many days without a result! I would be unwilling to give up even if I had to leave the stage."

Having said that, Oda Nobunaga once again raised his exquisitely crafted matchlock musket.

Thanks to her inherent skills [Self-Recovery] and [Avenger], she can still recover a small amount of magic power after losing her Master. Although it is not as powerful as when she acts alone, it is enough for her now.

"That's it, I understand."

For Karna, there was absolutely no need for him to participate in this final, desperate battle. He could have simply turned around and left, believing that Oda Nobunaga would dissipate due to a lack of magical energy in just a few minutes.

But he didn't want to do that.

Aside from wholeheartedly assisting his Master, his greatest dream is to fight against Heroic Spirits from different regions and eras, and to carry out his warrior's will.

That's enough.

A surge of surging magic emanated from Oda Nobunaga, her eyes glowed blood red, and her entire being exuded an aura that warned others to stay away.

This is the true Sixth Heaven Demon King!

In real history, Oda Nobunaga had many different aspects.

A compassionate general who drank and ate with his soldiers.

A great hero who unified the chaotic Warring States period.

The Sixth Heaven Demon King, who brazenly destroyed Buddhism and disregarded worldly customs and laws.

And it was precisely these titles that forged the ultimate treasure of the man named Oda Nobunaga, which was—

"Wherever it goes, it becomes the Avici Hell, a place where the Ten Realms have been destroyed."
