Thanks for the invitation. I'm in Type-Moon, inheriting the legacy of Zi-O.

Upon hearing her words, everyone's gaze focused on Nianzhuo's left hand, and they all stared wide-eyed.

Nianzhuo's left hand, the area covered by the pure white gauntlet, was turning into golden particles of light and disappearing.

"Mr. Nianzhuo... are you going to die?" Then came Mashu's weak words, as she could no longer even grip the shield in her hand.

"...Sorry." Faced with this question, Nian Zhuo could only nod with his back to them. "So, hurry up and leave. Before I leave the field, I can still take the life of the berserker on the other side."

"Yes, I understand." Ritsuka nodded, her head lowered so her expression couldn't be seen, but the water droplets falling to the ground seemed to say it all.

“But—!” Mashu wanted to argue, but a hand landed on her shoulder.

“Mash!” Ritsuka looked up, her tear-streaked eyes still fixed on Mash, and gazed at her with unwavering determination. “...Let’s go.”

Then, looking at Captain Drake, Ritsuka nodded.

"..." Drake looked at Ritsuka silently, then at Nencho, and turned to walk towards the ship's wheel. "Ritsuka is right, let's go."

"Didn't you say you wouldn't die?!" The most unexpected thing for Nian Zhuo was probably Yuri's intense reaction. Especially when she heard that Nian Zhuo would die, she could no longer hold back her emotions, and the goddess's tears also fell to the ground.

"Yes, I will not die." Nian Zhuo's figure slowly floated into the air and came to the front of the Golden Deer. "So, carry my belief with you and keep going."

"..." Asterius did not speak. Severely injured, he tried to raise his hand to grab Nianzhuo, who was getting further and further away, but in the end he just closed his eyes in pain.

The sound of waves crashing on the sea could be heard, and the Golden Deer slowly turned around in front of Nianzhuo.

Orion and Artemis watched his retreating figure, and Orion even extended the longer-looking finger on his hand as if it were a thumb.

“Then let me see you off on your final journey.” Nian Zhuo turned around and extended his palm toward the Golden Deer.

Colorful particles propelled the stern, gently enveloping the entire ship, before it swiftly sailed away into the distance.

Farewell, everyone.

Nian Zhuo waved his hand and then reappeared on the deck of the Argo.

Looking at Hercules, who had returned to normal, Nian Zhuo pulled out the eyeball saber that was stuck to the side and pulled the lever of the driver at his waist.

If it weren't for the Golden Deer sailing away in the distance telling Jason that everything that had just happened was real, Jason would probably still think he was dreaming.

"Super! Eye-opening!" With the same sound effect, the shape of the eyeball saber in Nian Zhuo's hand also changed.

However, this time, Hercules made the first move before Nianzhuo could unleash his attack.

Hercules' weapon had been shattered by the arrows released by Nian Zhuo, and he rushed in front of Nian Zhuo almost instantly, swinging his fists down with all his might.

However, it was still to no avail. Hercules' fist struck the air in front of Nian Zhuo, creating colorful ripples. The invisible barrier seemed to be an absolute defense, and no matter how Hercules attacked, it could not be broken.

"This is your fourth life, Hercules!" Then, the eyeball-shaped saber in Nian Zhuo's hand transformed into a modern rifle?! Green energy gathered at the muzzle, and Nian Zhuo pulled the bolt.

"Shinnen Impact—!" Then, a green laser shot out from the muzzle, instantly piercing through Hercules and even scorching the ship's planks behind him.

"Sorry! I'm in a hurry!" Then, Nian Zhuo pulled the lever at his waist again, and the infinite soul in his eyes shone brightly once more.

Wow! This is amazing!

At the same time, Nian Zhuo also held a strange weapon in his hand—a sunglasses saw, while the eyeball saber shrank into a pistol, with purple energy gathering on it. Then, Nian Zhuo pulled the trigger.

"Isama Shoot—!"

"—!" This time, the moment Heracles revived, he instinctively sensed the deadly danger before him. He quickly jumped up to dodge the purple bullets flying in front of him.

However, the idea that the attack would end there was shattered as Nianzhuo kept pulling the trigger.

More and more purple bullets shot out from the saw and pistol in Nian Zhuo's hand, forming a spiral trajectory as they flew towards Hercules in mid-air.

"Hercules—!" Medea then stretched out her hand and instantly cast a defensive spell in front of Hercules.

"Thump thump thump—" The purple bullets exploded instantly upon hitting the defensive magic, but many more bullets continued to rush toward Hercules, eventually piercing him through.

"..." Nian Zhuo remained silent, watching his shoulder armor begin to dissipate into golden particles, and pulled the lever of the driver at his waist.

"Super! Eye-opening!" Immediately, the eyeball-shaped military knife in his hand transformed into a longsword. Nian Zhuo gripped it together with the sunglasses saw, and orange energy swirled around the blade.

"Ikari Slash——!" Then, Nianzhuo swung down his twin swords, forming an 'X'-shaped blade of energy that flew towards Hercules in mid-air.

"—!" The berserker's body, which had just healed, was cut open again. He let out a scream of agony and died once more.

"You've already used up six lives! Hercules!" Nian Zhuo pulled on the lever at his waist, roaring in a tone completely unlike his own. "Underestimating the potential of humanity! This is the consequence! Die with me! Hercules!"

"Wow! Eye-opening!" With the same sound effect, Nian Zhuo retracted the sunglasses saw, while the eyeball saber in his hand remained in the shape of a longsword.

"Kanashimi Break—!" Then, purple energy gathered on the blade, and Nencho took a step forward.

"Aaaaaah!" Seeing Hercules open his eyes again in mid-air, Nianzhuo swung his sword!

Then, the purple sword energy instantly sliced ​​Hercules' body in two, and with undiminished momentum, sliced ​​off a plank of the Argo before plunging into the sea.

The violent explosion sent water droplets flying everywhere, dripping onto the deck of the Argo like rain.

"Come on! Now comes the main event!" Nian Zhuo then pulled the lever of the driver on his waist, and the eyeball saber in his hand changed again.

"Wow! This is amazing!" The military knife had transformed into a horizontal hammer, with cyan energy gathering at the hammerhead.

"Love Bomber—!" Then, Nian Zhuo turned around in mid-air and smashed the blue horizontal hammer into the abdomen of Hercules after his resurrection.

"—!" This time, it didn't smash onto the ship's deck, but directly into the cabin. Nian Zhuo calculated and finally revealed a victorious smile.

"Come on! Herax! This is the final blow!" Finally, Nencho pulled the lever of the driver on his waist with a sinister smile, and the Infinite Eyesoul instantly released colorful light.

"Infinity! Open your eyes!" Behind Nian Zhuo, a colorful cross slowly emerged, and engraved on the cross was the soul named Infinity!

"..." Then, colorful energy was constantly gathering in Nianzhuo's right leg. At that moment, many things flashed through Nianzhuo's mind.

Mary's smile, the entrustment her parents gave her in the mirror world, the words she spoke before fainting in the mirror, Ritsuka and Mashu's tearful expressions... all flowed slowly before Nencho's eyes like a revolving lantern.

"Seniors, have I caught up with you a little bit...?" The last thing that flashed before his eyes were the ten seniors who had entrusted their power to him, and Nian Zhuo's eyes widened suddenly.

"With this strike, I will take away all your life!" Colorful energy reached its peak on Nian Zhuo's right leg.

"God Omega Drive Mugen—!"

Then, Nian Zhuo's figure fell from mid-air and kicked Hercules in the stomach, who was resurrected in the cabin.

Instantly, colorful lights appeared on the sea surface, shimmering in the eyes of everyone on the Golden Deer.

Meanwhile, somewhere on the Argo, a strange man put down his camera.

I just died.

"Infinity! Open your eyes!" Instantly, the colorful energy on Nian Zhuo's body reached its peak, forming a slender cross behind him while opening up colorful double rings in the shape of ∞, with intense magic flowing on them.

Even a human being, facing death, can still bear the weight of infinite wings.

"This is it! The final blow—!" With its wings spread wide, Nian Zhuo flew down rapidly from mid-air.

"God Omega Drive Mugen——!" From the infinite power, specks of golden light fell along with Nencho's body.

Then, intense, colorful light burst forth from the Argo's cabins, and everyone was momentarily blinded by the intense light.

Then, a soft, furry sensation came from the tip of his nose, and Jason opened his eyes.

"What...what is this?" He stared in surprise at the feather on the tip of his nose and quickly brushed it away with his hand.

However, just like when the Infinite Soul first appeared, many feathers fell from the sky and gently landed on the ship's deck.

The infinite, colorful wings that Nianzhuo carried on his back transformed into pure white feathers and fell from mid-air.

He stood before Hercules in human form, just as he had in the beginning.

The great hero, shrouded in darkness, lay before him, his feathers draped over the giant's broad back like a warm bed of slumber.

The giant's eyes had lost their life force, and its enormous wounds showed no signs of healing.

The giant's curse of immortality had been completely exhausted by Nian Zhuo, and he was now facing true death.

“…” Nian Zhuo remained silent as Heracles gradually dissipated, turning into purple magic particles.

Sunlight streamed in through the large hole he had kicked open in the ship's plank, bathing Nian Zhuo and Hercules on the ground in golden light.

"Sleep now, Hercules." He looked at the berserker's gradually fading form before him and nodded slowly. "This is a flawed world, a flawed order. I will correct it."

Sunlight shone into the crater, and feathers fell one by one as the pure white knight watched the passing of the jet-black heroic spirit.

“So, next is—” Nian Zhuo turned around and was about to leave when a voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"I'm counting on you, warrior—" It was a voice Nian Zhuo had never heard before, which made him suddenly stop in his tracks.

“Who are you—?” Nian Zhuo suddenly turned around and looked around, but he did not find a single person who might be there. Finally, his gaze stopped on Hercules, who was about to completely disappear.

“Yes, it’s you? — I understand.” Nianzhuo nodded, turned around and jumped onto the deck.

(Our explanation for why Hercules said that will follow later.)

"Ah...ah...how come they're all such useless trash!" To Ling Nianzhuo's surprise, as soon as he saw Jason jump out, he immediately collapsed to the ground and kept moving backward.

"I won't let you hurt Lord Jason!" Seeing that no matter what attacks she tried, she couldn't harm Nian Zhuo, so she simply stood in front of Jason, her face full of determination.

“Ha…” Nian Zhuo shook his only remaining right hand, staring at Jason’s frightened expression, which made him feel quite relieved. “Look, Jason.” Nian Zhuo pointed at Medea, who was blocking his way. “This girl is really devoted to you… But—!” Suddenly, Nian Zhuo’s figure disappeared from the spot.

"Thump thump—" Jason felt a patting sound on his shoulder, which made his hair stand on end almost instantly, and he mechanically turned his head.

Against a backdrop of murky black, orange eye armor faced him, along with an arm draped over his shoulder.

"Lord Jason!" Seeing the enemy disappear before her eyes, Medea immediately looked at Jason and spotted Nianzhuo patting Jason on the shoulder. She raised her staff. "In that case—! Even I want it!"

Then, Nianzhuo straightened up and pushed Jason aside.

"It's time..." Then, Medea and Jason watched as the armored Heroic Spirit's armor turned into colorful particles of light and gradually dissipated.

But the bodies revealed beneath the armor made them stare wide-eyed.

The space that should have been his left hand was now empty, and the huge wound left by the berserker spread all over his body like cracks in glass.

Such an injury would be fatal even for a Servant; it's hard to imagine that the Heroic Spirit in front of me fought for so long with such an injury.

"Thump—" Then, Jason and Medea watched in disbelief as the young man in front of them suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"..." They looked at each other, neither of them knowing what had happened.

Medea even poked Nianzhuo with her staff, only to find that he didn't move at all.

Then, golden particles began to appear from Nian Zhuo's legs, gradually making his figure appear illusory.

“Lord Jason… he seems to be… dead.” Medea looked at Jason beside her and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ha...haha...is that so?" The blond youth's face was gloomy and his expression was unreadable. "I was terrified by him..." He stood up and walked to Nian Zhuo's 'corpse'.
