That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

A terrifying curse emanated from the tip of the spear, far surpassing the power of a Servant-level Lancer's magic spear.

The curse contained within the spear tip is not merely the power of a Noble Phantasm, but a special curse born from the slaughter of countless lives and the sublimation of gods, transcending the concept of a Noble Phantasm.

The demonic spear broke through more than half of the defensive barrier, and the offensive finally slowed down. The overflowing curse power eroded the earth, turning all the land around Matou Shinji into lava, and rolling heat waves rose up.

Finally, the demonic spear seemed to lose its power, its shaft trembled, and it flew back to its master's hand in a strange trajectory.

Scáthach stood atop the lava, gazing at Shinji Matou with a look of intense interest in her eyes: "That's enough of the greetings. We're about to get serious."

"As I said, as you wish, the final showdown of this Holy Grail War belongs to us."

Shinji Matou intently examined the queen before him. She was no longer a Servant and was no longer bound by class. From her, Shinji Matou heard the howls of countless dead.

Gods, demons, fallen gods, and humans—all the beings she has killed are intertwined and entangled, forming a curse upon her. It is precisely because of this characteristic that she became the master of this land of death.

The concept of death does not exist within her; to kill the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom, one must destroy the world.

Shinji Matou, show us your strength! .JPG

Ahem, in this state, the protagonist's strength is equivalent to Quetzalcoatl when his divinity is fully unleashed. Even with his divinity reduced by half, Quetzalcoatl was still able to use his Noble Phantasm to evaporate Tiamat's Black Mud Sea. However, even with his divinity intact, he was no match for Tiamat.

Chapter 86 The Disciples (Seeking Recommendations!)

In the land of death, dark clouds rolled in, and countless undead transformed into shadows that blotted out the sky as they fled in panic, like a river of death flowing through the heavens. On the ground, countless other undead shadows trembled in the gaps of the shadows.

Perched atop a solitary peak stands a magnificent palace, sparsely decorated, its color blending seamlessly with the surrounding cold gray rock. Several robust men stand atop the city wall, gazing at the roaring River of the Dead. One of them says gravely, “Do you know what’s happened? The undead seem rather restless today.”

"You call this phenomenon restless?"

"Cough cough, they are indeed rioting. It's because I've been living in peace in the Land of Shadows for too long. The only person in the Land of Shadows who can make them so afraid is Master."

"Master has probably found a worthy opponent."

"An opponent? How could anyone in this world be a match for Master? It takes more than twenty of us disciples to barely suppress him. Besides, don't forget that when we joined forces against Master last time, that brat Cú Chulainn provoked him with words. I don't want to see Master like that a second time." The disciple shuddered.

The disciple's words seemed to remind the other disciples of something, and their faces showed a hint of fear.

Scáthach's apparent strength was comparable to the combined strength of her twenty-odd disciples, but on that day, they witnessed their master's true power when they saw her enraged.

Not long after, a warrior fell from the sky; he was one of the people sent by many disciples to scout the situation.

"How about it?"

The warrior looked fearful: "It's definitely my master. She's fighting a god."

"Gods? Are there any gods in this world who would dare to provoke Master? How many gods have become the dead by Master's spear?"

“This time is different. I dare not get too close. The battle is too intense. I even doubt whether my master has been lenient with us before. This is the first time I have ever seen my master in such a state.”

"Is Master getting serious?"

"Can't you see? The spirits escaping from the sky. If it were just Master and the others, they wouldn't have caused such a commotion. The world over there has already collapsed."

"Collapse?! What a joke! This is the underworld, a place even gods cannot set foot in!"

"I'm pretty sure of that. If they keep fighting, you'll feel it soon enough."

······

The desolate land has long since turned into a sea of ​​lava, the void is shattered, and it is devouring the underworld of the Shadow Kingdom.

Shinji Matou sat on the throne in the sky, with five elemental crystals in five different directions, each symbolizing a different element, which is the foundation of the entire world. The points connected to form a circle, which is the most basic power of alchemy and the source of its power.

It forms a circle on the outside and a pentagram on the inside, using the Land of Shadows as nourishment to build a temple belonging to Shinji Matou.

Shinji Matou closed his eyes in deep thought, dividing his mind into twelve parts. He placed his right hand on the armrest of the throne and tapped it lightly. Each tap generated a different element to attack Scáthach in the distance.

The swirling light wheels symbolize the five elements, releasing a terrifying torrent of elemental energy, each wave as powerful as the torrent of light unleashed by the Sword of Excalibur.

The land, transformed into a sea of ​​lava, is sometimes cut apart, sometimes frozen, and sometimes swept up by hurricanes.

In addition, there are three shadow Servants in black who are restraining Scáthach's actions. They are all shadow Servants created from the souls of Servants that have been recovered by the Holy Grail.

Iskandar the Conqueror, Jack the Ripper, and Hassan the Hundred-Faced Ones have no personalities; they are all puppets manipulated by Shinji Matou, who extracts information from the souls of his followers and shapes them.

As the saying goes, to shoot a man, you must first shoot his horse. To deal with Scáthach, you must destroy the Land of Shadows and remove the curse of immortality from her.

Shinji Matou built a temple here, and the Mystic Eyes (spiritual quantum computing machine) were integrated into the temple's foundation. Through alchemy, he analyzed the rules of the death kingdom and searched for the world's "core".

The true ether that once filled the world of gods was the foundation of all matter, and the stability of this world was disrupted by the simulated construction of true ether.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sounds of weapons clashing were incessant.

"I can't find an opportunity."

In the midst of the fierce battle, Scáthach frowned and muttered to herself. She felt no sense of exhilaration in this seemingly evenly matched fight. Her crimson magic spear danced wildly. She had just repelled Iskandar the Conqueror, who was charging in on a divine wheel, when she was attacked by the demon Jack the Ripper. Interspersed with the elemental torrents released by elemental crystals, she had no room to catch her breath.

The foundation for the temple was Shinji Matou's Mystic Eye, which has now become a super spiritual particle calculation machine. It is also responsible for assisting in the manipulation of elemental crystals and shadow Servants.

Just as humans cannot defeat supercomputers in a purely computational field like Go, no Servant can win against a Spirit Particle Calculation Machine in close combat when both sides are evenly matched.

"Continuing to argue will not help."

Scáthach had to admit that she was being suppressed by Shinji Matou, and in a fleeting glance, she even saw that Shinji Matou's gaze was not on her at all.

Scáthach is proficient in primordial runes. Although the foundation is completely different from alchemy, their essence is the pursuit of the truth of the universe and the origin of all things. Scáthach knows what Shinji Matou wants to do.

Just as she created the Land of Shadows by dividing the Underworld, Shinji Matou attempted to control her own realm of death through the temple.

Clang!

As Scáthach braced herself against the demon's claws with her magic spear, she simultaneously dodged the cursed laser beams shot from the demon's eyes. As she spun her spear, attempting to slay the demon, she was blocked by Iskandar the Conqueror, who swung his Celtic longsword.

Scáthach raised her left hand high, continuing to generate a magic spear, which blocked the short sword thrown by Hassan the Hundred-Faced.

The abilities of a Shadow Servant, supported by infinite magic, are several times stronger than those of a Servant in their normal form.

"They're really troublesome."

Scáthach suddenly exerted her strength, parrying the three shadow Servants with her magic spear. Before she could catch her breath, her red eyes looked up at the sky. Thousands of meters above, a transmutation circle with a radius of more than ten kilometers was operating, with one of the elemental crystals pointing directly at her.

“Even in terms of combat strategy, I can’t gain any advantage. Interesting.” Scáthach’s old face flushed slightly.

Three shadow Servants were watching intently, giving Scáthach no chance to break through.

呲味味~

Before the elemental crystals embedded in the massive transmutation array, radiance gathered, and an invisible torrent poured down.

She instantly drew the original runes, a circular shield appeared around her, and her body was pinned into the sea of ​​lava by an invisible torrent.

Click~ Click~ Click~

A series of eerie, crackling sounds erupted, and the lava-covered land, extending for over ten kilometers from the center of the invisible torrent, froze instantly. The chill spread, and the lava solidified into black, scorched earth, which then rapidly solidified into ice.

At the same time, hail began to fall from the sky.

The ability of water to crystallize is influenced by temperature control, or, in more scientific terms, molecular control.

The elemental attacks from the transmutation array have reached a level where they can alter the weather.

This woman is damnably sweet.

I originally wanted to write about Big Dog, but it seems he's no longer in the Land of Shadows; he's already dead. (laughs)

Let's explain the alchemy in Fullmetal Alchemist.

The power of alchemy comes from dragon veins; its essence is the flow of power, with earth veins being the most frequently utilized.

Secondly, there is a theory that the power of alchemy does not entirely come from the earth's crust.

In version 09, the most frequently mentioned concept is that "the power of alchemy comes from the circle."

It's about drawing circles. The better you draw your circles, the higher your success rate in alchemy.

When von Hohenheim buried the Philosopher's Stone.

The little man in the bottle once said that it was just a point, and without the power of a circle, it was not worth worrying about. Then, Bean Dad used the shadow of a lunar eclipse as a circle.

In addition, the essence of alchemy in the Type-Moon world is also the flow of power and matter, leaning towards alchemical theories.

Chapter 87 Shaking the Sun

boom!

"How naive, Angolan!"

The purple phantom broke through the ice, and before the three shadow followers could pounce on it, it swung its right magic spear horizontally, splitting it into dozens of magic spears that shot off in different directions. Their flight trajectories were unpredictable and impossible to dodge.

"To have found the weakness of the self-disciplined attack so quickly, she truly deserves to be called a battle-hardened queen." On his throne, Shinji Matou murmured his praise.

Scáthach had become accustomed to the combat style of the Spirit Particle Calculation Machine. As long as her actions were not at a constant average, her opponent could not predict her next move. For example, when running, if she was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, her opponent could not calculate how long it would take to reach the finish line and thus set up a countermeasure in advance.

The hearts of the three shadow Servants were instantly pierced, and the curse of the magic spear shattered their magical properties and destroyed their bodies.

In addition, three more magic guns shot at Shinji Matou from different angles.

Before the guns even arrived, Shinji Matou's heart clenched violently. In that instant, he understood what was happening and gave up resistance, allowing the three demonic guns to pierce through his heart.

Swish swish!

Shinji Matou looked down at the demonic spear that had pierced his heart, frowned and said calmly, "I see. This is the first time I've ever seen a spear that can reverse cause and effect."

After speaking, he nonchalantly reached out and pulled out the demonic spear. The curse on the spear had already been broken down, and it couldn't harm the body in the slightest. There was no sign of bleeding from the wound, and it was instantly healed within seconds of the spear being pulled out.

Scáthach stood in the air, gazing at Shinji Matou from afar, and exclaimed in amazement, "Such incredible regenerative abilities! Are you immortal now too?"

"To be precise, it's regeneration. With enough magic power, I can create not only physical bodies, but even the sun." Shinji Matou smiled faintly and raised a finger. A spinning sphere instantly expanded, like a miniature sun emitting brilliant light.

With a casual point in Scáthach's direction, the miniature sun disappeared and detonated when it teleported to Scáthach's side.

The sudden attack gave Scáthach no time to react.

Rumble~

Light arrived in the Land of Shadows, where the sun never shone. A mushroom cloud rose slowly, and a powerful shockwave swept across the entire Land of Shadows.

This is the terrifying aspect of alchemy: while most magicians in this world are losing their abilities, the alchemists of the Atlas Institute are still able to create weapons capable of destroying this world seven times over.

Alchemy, mastering core technology.
