Miss Justice is not motivated

“Even at the moment I drew my sword… I already knew my fate perfectly well. To be hated, to be ostracized, to face a tragic death, everything I protected, everything I possessed, would all be taken from me.”

The so-called king is someone who kills the most people in order to protect them.

Every night, as a young child, she thought about it, trembling until dawn. Not a single day passed without fear. But that too would end on the day she drew her sword.

No matter how many times she is alienated, feared, or even betrayed in the future, her heart will not change.

"I traded my most precious possession for Camelot. There's only one reason: many people are laughing... I believe that can't be wrong!"

"Ha, just as I expected." She wasn't surprised by this answer; this folly was within Rungomminiad's expectations. She raised the Holy Lance. The silver-white lion armor once again covered her body, and the dissolved lance transformed into a crimson pillar of light. "Since that's the case, then you can drown in your naive ideals..."

"Absolutely, absolutely not, I will not fall here, I still want to..." The holy sword she raised emitted a dazzling light, and Artoria held it high, as if it were formed from the light of thirty-three torches.

"Excalibur!" "Rhongomyniad!" The True Name Releases, which rang out almost simultaneously, clashed. Although both were transformed from magic and radiated intense heat and destructive power, they differed overwhelmingly in 'quality' and 'quantity'.

On a patch of scorched, black earth, Artoria knelt. Her metal armor was easily shattered by Rungomminiad's nonchalant attacks; had it not been for the Star Sword partially neutralizing her opponent's assault, she would likely have been reduced to ashes by now.

Meanwhile, Rungomminiad, not far away, was completely unharmed. She hadn't even used half her power to easily defeat Artoria. If she had used her power as a candidate for the Creator King, she could have done it even more easily.

“An overwhelming gap…not small…I…” Struggling to her feet, Artoria drew magic power from the pulsating core of the magic furnace, and with a mighty effort, raised her holy sword, unleashing another deadly flash. “Excalibur!”

Artoria painstakingly reduced the destructive power on the scale of the city, concentrating the massive beam of light into a straight line. The blade itself was coated with a magnificent golden hue, like a thin film. Within that dazzling gold, the sharp edge of the sword slashed towards Rungomminiad's neck.

"It is you who should be destroyed, your former ideals... Well then, this time, let you forever be condemned to despair." Death's footsteps slowly approached. Facing the converging torrent of beams, Rungomminiad casually flicked his holy lance, piercing the city-wide light membrane, the tip striking the blade directly. "Ultimate divine weaponry, crystallized within a planet using people's thoughts as raw materials, the 'Last Phantasm'? Now it seems, before the power of the Creator King, it is nothing more than that."

The Holy Lance, infused with the Satan Sword, created a crack in the Holy Sword at the atomic level. This crack then continued to widen, eventually breaking the sword in two.

The sword... is broken... Artoria stared in disbelief at the holy sword broken in two. She had encountered a similar situation in the past.

“My remaining ideals, at least, may they slumber in beautiful dreams…” Raising the Holy Lance, Rungomminiad bestowed upon Artoria a painless Flash. “Your sacrifice, along with the Knights of the Round Table and the soldiers, was not in vain; your sacrifice will be…”

However, before Rungomminiad could finish speaking, Artoria's figure, along with the broken sword on the ground, was pulled into a vortex of starlight and vanished without a trace in an instant.

“Spiritual transfer? It’s Merlin, isn’t it? Just like before, he likes to do unnecessary things.” Rungomminiad put away the Holy Lance and looked at the distant sky.

It will be soon.

Chapter Forty-Four is, of course, idealism.

An unfamiliar ceiling, where am I...? Katsuragi Takumi woke up from his deep sleep feeling sore all over. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, took out a bottle from his pocket, and squeezed the Phoenix Full Bottle, using its power to make himself feel better.

"Oh? You're awake." Bai Ai Na, who was playing with the Build Driver, noticed that Katsuragi Takumi had woken up and greeted him.

After Evolto was blasted into the black hole, he vanished without a trace. When Beaina returned to the battlefield, she found that the war was over, and even the fortified city of Lundinium had disappeared.

After slaughtering many Knights of the Round Table, Rungomminiad ordered the Triumvirate to conceal the city, gather their remaining troops, and await the next opportunity for battle. The next battle would aim to annihilate the remaining British resistance forces.

"You... are..." After realizing that the girl in front of him was a reincarnator, Katsuragi Takumi struggled to sit up. Then he carefully examined Bai Ai Na in front of him, his expression changed immediately, and he jumped up, wary of her.

"How come you're also a member of the Star Hunter Clan?! And you even have Evolto's genetic material?! Damn it!"

"You know about that Dragon Evolution Bottle, right?" Bai Aina wasn't particularly wary of Katsuragi Takumi; if she wanted, she could kill him right now. "I used your Build Driver and the Dragon Evolution Bottle to transform into Kamen Rider Cross-Z. Using that bottle causes you to inhale the Evolto genetic material remaining inside. That being said, that genetic material was extracted from Evolto."

"..." He didn't say anything, but Katsuragi Takumi's strong wariness and distrust were so strong that they could be expressed even without words.

"Uh, you really don't need to worry about that. How should I put it? Maybe this will help you understand." After saying that, without waiting for Katsuragi Takumi's consent, Bai Aina placed her hand on his shoulder, allowing their minds to communicate directly.

Before him lay an endless expanse of gray earth. There, countless mass-produced personalities existed, like gray specks of light. The ferocity and belligerence brought by the Evolto genetic factor were spread across this network of over a million personalities, as if diluted, rendering them utterly ineffective.

"Do you understand? The Evolto gene has absolutely no effect on me. Even he himself can't interfere with me using it." Standing next to Katsuragi Takumi, Kawaina observed him with great interest. The reason, of course, wasn't because she was attracted to Sato Taro's face, but for a more pragmatic reason.

In this state of telepathic connection, Bai Aina could directly see all of the other person's memories. It was also fortunate that the other person had increased their danger level through equipment, leaving them completely defenseless mentally, which allowed Bai Aina to see what interested her.

“You…” You’re a madman. How could a normal person have so many personalities? Katsuragi Takumi didn’t dare say that aloud, and immediately broke the telepathic connection with Bai Ai Na. “Okay, I understand.”

"So, can you create the Evol Driver?" Baina was very envious of this thing. As the prototype of the Build Driver, the Evol Driver could maximize the power of the Evolto genetic factor.

“I can’t do it without the materials.” Knowing full well what Bai Aina was up to, Katsuragi Takumi wouldn’t agree. However, he took out another Build Driver and a Dragon Full Bottle from behind his back and said, “These two are for you.”

She casually took the Dragon Fullbottle and its driver. As soon as Bai Aina held the Dragon Fullbottle in her hand, it emitted a silvery-white light. The originally blue Fullbottle instantly turned silvery-white, and even the energy contained within it increased by a level.

"This is...!" Katsuragi Takumi's eyes widened in surprise, realizing that the girl before him had reached a danger level of 7.0. When the danger level reaches 7.0, the full bottle can undergo a strange transformation.

“Nothing to be surprised about. I’m not human to begin with. After obtaining the Nebula Gas and Evolto’s data, I adjusted my body to raise my danger level above 6.0.” Playing with the Dragon Evolution Bottle and the silver Dragon Full Bottle, all of this was within Bai Aina’s expectations. During her previous battle with Evolto, she could feel the Star Hunter genetic factors within her greatly activated due to fighting against a fellow human. “In addition, because Evolto used the Black Hole and consumed a large amount of energy, the Star Hunter genetic factors within me resonated, greatly increasing their activity level, and thus raising my danger level.”

"..." You seem quite familiar with this. You've been paying attention to it for a long time, haven't you? Katsuragi Takumi rubbed his forehead, feeling somewhat helpless. He patted himself to make sure the Genius Bottle was still on him, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, if I use both the Dragon Evolution Bottle and the Silver Dragon Fullbottle at the same time, can I transform?" While fiddling with the two bottles, Bai Aina suddenly had this very strange thought. "But the combination seems wrong?"

"Of course not. Unless you use special tools to adjust the Build Driver, if you want to use two bottles at the same time to transform, it must be a combination of organic and inorganic materials."

"Then, is the Knight Evolution Bottle considered an organic or inorganic substance?" Bai Aina guessed that this thing was actually a special item, neither organic nor inorganic.

“That’s a special tool; it’s neither organic nor inorganic.” Katsuragi Takumi’s answer didn’t surprise Kawaina, but the next question…

"What's going on with the gold and silver rabbit dragon? The combination of these two bottles shouldn't meet the standard of organic + inorganic matter, right?"

"You asked me, and I also..." For a moment, Katsuragi Takumi was speechless, unsure of what to say. He wasn't the kind of person who believed in love and peace, so his feelings about this miracle were very subtle.

"In other words, it's feasible..." The material used to construct the full-bottle container is a special synthetic substance. Bai Aina ignored Katsuragi Takumi and instead squatted down, using her external brain to analyze, calculate, and reconstruct the possibility.

Soon, two identical blank bottles reappeared in Bai'na's palm. As the ingredients stored in the Dragon Evolution Bottle and the Silver Dragon Full Bottle were released, they were absorbed into the two blank bottles.

"That completes it. Saya, Muen, remember? The Hyperfusion I mentioned before!"

"Mother, please don't do this." "I won't."

Chapter 45 If Only I Had Known This

On the planet's inner side, a paradise blooms in abundance. Days are filled with the sunshine of spring and the warmth of summer, while nights are enveloped in the air of autumn and the starry skies of winter. Wildflowers bloom on the ground, and reptiles roam freely. Streams flow through the forests, verdant greenery abounds, and wild animals roam freely.

"It's been a long time, Artoria," the half-human nightmare in the white robe said, his voice ringing out like a song. The man's voice sounded rather frivolous, yet not offensive, as if it were the way he was supposed to speak.

Awakening amidst the sea of ​​flowers, Artoria wasn't overly surprised to see it. However, she stared blankly at the broken sword in her hand for a long time before finally saying to Merlin, "It has indeed been a long time, Merlin..."

"Oh dear, I just wanted to avoid some trouble, but I didn't expect so many things to happen outside. It's fair to say that Britain's days are numbered." Merlin spoke in a frivolous tone, his words almost mocking and kicking someone when they're down, but he still had a smile on his face, making it impossible to sense any malice from him.

"Lord Merlin, if possible, please retrieve the Holy Lance from Lord Agraven." Artoria, lightly armed, had left the Holy Lance with Agraven; she used her most trusted Holy Sword. Now that weapon was unusable, she had no choice but to retrieve the Holy Lance from Agraven.

"Ha, that goddess is no match for the Holy Lance. She possesses a mystery unlike anything on this planet; even the Star Anchor, which maintains the physical laws of the Earth's surface, cannot defeat her." Merlin, with his clairvoyance, could see a part of the truth about the goddess Rungomminiad, which made him exclaim in amazement at the power she possessed.

"I know, because the Holy Sword was also destroyed by her. The Holy Lance, being of equal caliber to the Holy Sword, naturally couldn't possibly be her match." Artoria recalled everything that had happened during the battle; her opponent had destroyed the Star Holy Sword with just a flick of her wrist…

“Even so, you still want to go? There’s really no other way…” Merlin said with a helpless smile, as if he had known this would happen. “That outsider girl told you so much, but your mind still hasn’t changed? In a way, you’re really stubborn.”

"Outsider girl?" Artoria could guess that the other person was probably referring to Baiina, but she didn't know why they were calling her that.

"Yes, I already know... Even if I continue fighting like this, nothing will change, and it's very likely that I won't be able to save anything." The sea of ​​flowers beneath her feet swayed in the spring breeze as she stood there, gazing into the distance.

Here, beautiful fairies gather at the water sources; this is the mythical land of eternal spring, also known as the Isle of Apples—a tiny world beyond the reach of even the most intelligent beasts. Its name is Avalon.

"This is something I should have been prepared for, so... Merlin, please help me."

“Ah, well, there’s really nothing I can do about that. Although I can’t leave here and go to the outside world right now, I can still help you with this little thing.” Merlin handed Artoria a holy spear that seemed to be forged from light, which had appeared in his hand without him noticing. Then he looked at the broken blade, lost in thought. “Take it with you. Perhaps… it will be of some help to you in the future.”

"..." Although she didn't quite understand why Merlin wanted her to do this, Artoria still picked up the broken holy sword.

“Sometimes, perhaps a little miracle will happen.” With that, Merlin summoned his staff and smiled as he gently tapped the ground with the tip. A pink ripple spread out, and petals scattered across the ground.

She involuntarily closed her eyes, and when Artoria opened them again, she found herself in a tent.

"Huh? Miss Artoria?" Baiina, who was holding two bottles and seemingly deep in thought, greeted Artoria when she noticed her. "The Holy Lance has been retrieved too..."

……

The Automaton, forced to flee by Evolto, quickly returned to the material world, though the defeat left her feeling quite displeased. Now, she is also searching for a way to overcome the opponent's gravity barrier.

No, no, this won't work. It still won't work... Ahh... I haven't yet mastered a method to reverse gravity. The automatic secretary looked at the dozens of solutions she had written on the blackboard, feeling quite distressed.

After gathering the remaining soldiers, Agravain led them to set up camp in the valley. The three—Automatic Secretary, Bai Aina, and Ichijo—also met up there, and they also retrieved the body of Katsuragi Takumi lying on the battlefield.

With Merlin's help, Artoria successfully escaped the battlefield and has now temporarily returned to her own camp.

"How many troops are left?" Artoria looked at the remnants of the defeated army in the camp and couldn't help but feel distressed. It was impossible to rely on them to fight; they no longer had the strength to fight.

“Thirty thousand.” Agravan was quite troubled by this situation. Even with his expertise in domestic affairs and controlling people’s hearts, he couldn’t simply regroup and restore the soldiers’ courage or strength to continue fighting.

“I see… I understand.” Artoria nodded slightly, somewhat prepared for this answer. After a moment of silence, she said in a deep voice, “Prince Agguwen, the task of leading them back to Camelot is entrusted to you.”

"..." Agravure also fell silent, gazing at Artoria before him, knowing what she intended to do. From those holy blue eyes, he sensed emotions called 'determination' and 'resolve'.

“Understood, Your Majesty.” Agraven straightened up and bowed to Artoria. “May Your Majesty enjoy great military success.”

"Thank you."

……

"So, you sent them all back?" Looking at the few people remaining in the huge camp, Bai Aina felt that the place was somewhat empty.

“Yes, that’s right. We can’t let them lose their lives in vain, can we?” Artoria said, her expression turning bitter.

Chapter Forty-Six: The Silver Arm

Only a handful of people remained in the camp, and apart from Katsuragi Takumi, they were all young girls. However, this genius physicist had no energy for romance. To avoid being thrown into the imaginary space by Evolto again, he needed to adjust his Genius Full Bottle.

Furthermore, Katsuragi Takumi spoke with the Auto Scripture and obtained information from her. Using the data she collected during her battle with Evolto, he devised targeted tactical plans to increase his chances of winning.

In contrast, the Automatic Scripture obtained detailed information about Evolto from Katsuragi Takumi and then had Radish store it for future use. She then began the search for Shocker, and the satellites previously placed in outer space still proved useful.

"Miss Artoria, are you still planning to continue fighting?" Looking at the blonde girl before her, who seemed determined to follow their lead, Bai'ina didn't pay much attention. After all, in her mind, as long as they could collect the Holy Grail, they could complete the resurrection; even if Artoria died along the way, it wouldn't matter.

“We can’t rely on you for everything… can’t we?” Artoria, holding the Holy Lance, looked up at the distant sky. At this stage, this was all she could do.

"The Holy Sword... is it broken?" Using her Observation Haki, Bai Aina was able to read some of Artoria's memories.

“Yes, it’s broken… Ha, it seems that all the holy swords that come into my hands are like this.” Recalling the sword of destiny that she pulled from the stone, Artoria couldn’t help but laugh at herself. She hadn’t protected anything… It seemed that this had always been her attitude.

"Can I take a look?" Bai Aina was very interested in the construction principles of the Star Holy Sword. After all, if the Heart's Reflection continued to grow, it might be able to create weapons made from beliefs and fantasies, just like a complete planet.

“No problem.” Artoria took out the broken Star Sword and handed the two pieces of the holy sword to Baiana.

Upon closer inspection of the Star Sword, Bai Aina could clearly sense that it was not purely 'matter'. In the Type-Moon universe, there exists a related term: Soul Materialization, which is exactly what it sounds like.

Materialized spirits can change form depending on circumstances; they are omnipotent life forms that do not need a physical body to settle in the material world. In simpler terms, they are higher-dimensional life forms whose souls have been materialized.

The Star Sword in his hand is not, in essence, a blade forged from 'matter', but a weapon constructed using ethereal and intangible elements such as 'fantasy' and 'belief,' which to some extent is similar to the materialization of the soul.

Perhaps this is why Excalibur can change into different forms depending on its master's wishes, such as Excalibur Morgan, Excalibur Vivian, and Sequence Morgan.

If I mastered the Third Law, perhaps I could piece this thing back together? In that case, let's do it. Thinking this, Baina returned the Oath and the Sword of Victory to Artoria, not forgetting to thank her.

Although Baina still has a method called 'angelization' that she hasn't used yet, there's a subtle difference between that and soul materialization. Creating a soul materialization product that can exist for a long time is unlikely.
