This second dimension is too immortal

"To think there is such a thing, Holy Spear..."

After listening to Zhao Si's explanation, Lily looked at Longominiard with surprise. She never thought that after she was separated from the Lion King's body, the Holy Spear would transform to this extent. It was directly based on her spiritual base and gave birth to a new and higher-level existence.

At the same time, Lily also understood the meaning of what Longominiard had said before.

Indeed, before the Holy Lance underwent this change, the Lion King represented Lily herself, the self that was eroded by divinity and as rational and indifferent as a god.

And now, another part of Lily has completely merged with the divinity in the Holy Lance, transformed, and given birth to a new individual, Longomyniad.

Perhaps in the eyes of the other party, Lily, a part of King Arthur, can fully represent the will of King Arthur after the other part that merged with her disappears. That is why they say that everything she does is to practice the will left by King Arthur.

After a moment of silence, Lily looked at Longominiard and said firmly:

"...Perhaps that was indeed what I thought before, but now, my thoughts have changed, because I know that there are still people working hard to stop the tide, so their steps should not stop here."

"...I cannot understand. I cannot accept your change, King Arthur. I still feel that your last and final will is the true meaning that I should abide by." Hearing this, Longominiard closed his eyes and said after a moment.

If it were someone else, no matter what was said, Longominiade probably wouldn't think that what the other person said made sense, but the person who was saying it now was Lily, the person who once held her in his arms and was recognized by her. That was why she had to explain so much.

"Ah, yes, it's normal that we can't convince each other, isn't it? After all, humans are complex, and it's not uncommon for two contradictory ideas to exist at the same time." Hearing this, Lily nodded and said.

As she spoke, she gripped the holy sword in both hands, poised for attack. "Usually, at times like this, we need to use other methods to retain one of these ideas."

"So that's what you think? I feel it." Seeing this, Longominid nodded, then rolled over and fell off the white horse.

Holding the Holy Spear, immense power burst out from Longomyniad. She said to Lily:

"King Arthur, then use the holy sword in your hand and do your best to stop me."

Chapter 656 Sorry, I'm in a hurry.

At the top of the royal city, Lily and Longomyniad fought back and forth, and the collision of the holy sword and the holy spear shot out dazzling flames.

Not long after..

"Ex——calibur!! (Sword of Promised Victory)"

"Rhongomyniad!! (Shine in the Lance of the End!)"

The two shouted in unison, and the holy sword and holy spear were released one after another. The entire space within the light column was shrouded in blazing light, and surging magic power surged out in all directions.

"...System, when Lily was summoned for the second time during the Tokyo Subspecies Holy Grail War, I remember her strength was around the late Jindan stage?"

Raising his hands to resist the raging torrent of magic power, Zhao Si took advantage of the interval between Lily and Rongominiard's fight to recover from his injuries. At the same time, looking at Lily who was fighting Rongominiard on equal terms, he couldn't help but ask the system.

This is too outrageous...

Zhao Si thought to himself that he didn't mean to look down on Lily, but it was obvious that Lily's current strength should be about the same as his. However, the result was that he was beaten up by Longominiard before, while Lily looked as if she was still at ease.

Longominiard, this guy, after facing Lily, could it be that he chose to hide his incompetence?

Just as he was thinking about it, based on the principle that seeing is worse than saying, the system responded quickly. Zhao Si saw the system interface suddenly appear in front of his eyes, which listed the comparison of the current situation of Longominiard and Lily.

Zhao Si looked around. He had seen Longominiard's data before, so he ignored it and looked directly at Lily's data panel.

"Hmm? Yuanying?"

Zhao Si raised his eyebrows and looked at Lily's data in some surprise.

Target: Artoria Pendragon (Servant)

Strength: Early Nascent Soul stage (?)

Traits: Law/Good.

Class: Saber

Attributes: Strength: A Durability: A Agility: A Magic: A Luck: A Noble Phantasm: A+

Putting aside the six-dimensional attributes that are as complete as a bucket, and not mentioning when Lily's strength became that of a Nascent Soul, what does this question mark mean?

Generally speaking, based on Zhao Si's current experience, the question mark on the system panel usually represents some special meaning, so much so that when Zhao Si sees this question mark, his whole body seems to have a stress reaction, and he stands there stupidly with his mouth open.

"Because her strength is constantly fluctuating, master, the sword in her hand is no worse than the gun in terms of status. The holy sword should not be weaker than the holy gun." The system came out to explain at the right time.

"However, due to the disparity between the wielders, the Holy Sword is inferior to the Holy Lance. Furthermore, the current situation perfectly matches certain conditions, such as the Holy Sword's seal. Because of this, the Holy Sword is feeding its power back to the wielder, striving to enable the wielder to reach the same level as the Holy Lance in a short period of time."

"Damn! Is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, Zhao Si couldn't hold it in any longer and blurted out a Chinese quintessence.

The same level as the Holy Lance, that is to say, Lily might reach the same pseudo-godhood realm as Longomyniad as she continues to fight?

Are you kidding me? This is no joke.

"hiss"

Zhao Si gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. You have to know that his original body was still just the Nascent Soul stage, and he had just been promoted to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul not long ago. Now he was about to be surpassed by Lily, and he felt very complicated.

Fortunately, no matter how complicated it is, Zhao Si also knows that this power is not eternal. It is because the Holy Sword and the Holy Spear meet and are hostile to each other that the current chemical reaction occurs. Once the two are separated, they will probably return to their original form.

"Come to think of it, after the change that girl just underwent, her strength is still comparable to the pseudo-godhood realm? I thought she had become a god." Zhao Si said as he looked at Longomyniad's data.

In the strength column, after the previous wave of "big" changes, according to Zhao Si's personal experience, Longominid's strength, which was comparable to that of a pseudo-god, was well-deserved. In fact, before looking at the system data, Zhao Si once thought that the other party had reached the level of a pseudo-god cultivator.

However, now it seems that the system's judgment of him is still at the level of pseudo-godhood.

The Divine Transformation Realm...

Zhao Si touched his chin. His current cultivation level has reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He is only two small realms away from the Spirit Transformation Realm, namely the late stage and the great success. Naturally, making plans for advancing to the Spirit Transformation Realm in advance will only bring benefits and no disadvantages.

"System, how far is the gap between Longominiad's current strength and that of a true Divine Transformation cultivator?" Zhao Si asked, obviously intending to use Longominiad as an example to find out the details of the Divine Transformation realm.

"If we're talking solely about destructive power, Master, the upper limit of the power that Longomyniyad can exert is actually no less than that of some cultivators in the Divine Transformation Realm. This is why she has been described as a pseudo-Divine Transformation Realm."

"But Master, you also know that a person's strength cannot be measured solely by destructive power."

"A pseudo-God of Transformation, after all, has the word pseudo in its name, and can absolutely not be compared with a true God of Transformation cultivator. Even if she can easily kill all beings below the God of Transformation, when she encounters a true God of Transformation, or even a being on par with the God of Transformation, her situation will become the same as those beings that can be easily killed by her." The system explained.

"So exaggerated?"

Zhao Si was stunned for a moment. He thought that even if Longominiard was not as good as the cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Realm, he could at least be close to him.

As a result, the meaning of the system's words is quite similar to that of ants among those below the level of God Transformation.

Why does it feel like the gap between Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation is even bigger than the gap between Core Formation and Golden Core?

"...Well, it seems that the gap between Jindan and Jindan is still a little bigger." After thinking about it, Zhao Si shook his head and said.

Golden elixir and returning to oneness are the two so-called watersheds before becoming an immortal. If you stack more Nascent Soul buffs, you might be able to compete with the God Transformation. If you stack the Core Formation buffs to death, you might not be able to withstand a blow from the Golden elixir. There is no comparison between the two.

Shaking his head, Zhao Si closed his eyes to sense the changes in his injuries. After a moment, he opened his eyes again with a helpless look on his face.

"Although it has the strength of an ordinary servant, this body is still too fragile compared to the original body, and the injuries heal slowly..." Zhao Si said with clenched fists.

As mentioned before, a pseudo-god can easily kill beings below the level of god. Zhao Si, a Jindan Dacheng, used the special ability of the Lord of Seal to withstand the hands of Longominiard until Lily came in. He had already tried his best. But even so, his body, which was incarnated by the Holy Grail, was on the verge of collapse.

"...There's no other way. The situation now is that even if we really find Illya later, it will be difficult for her to play any role if something happens." Zhao Si said, sighing slowly.

Rather than ending up in such an embarrassing situation, it would be better to...

Squinting his eyes slightly, he saw Zhao Si standing up with difficulty, and then dragging his heavy steps towards the area where Lily and Longominiard were fighting.

As time went by, Zhao Si's originally drooping back gradually began to straighten up, and his steps became lighter.

Finally, when Zhao Si stopped, he seemed to have returned to the state he was in when he first came in, without any injuries on his body.

"Click——"

Zhao Si shook his head and wrist, and a crisp and loud sound came from his body. He looked at Longominiard who was fighting with Lily not far away, and a smile appeared on his face.

Sorry, I'm in a hurry.

Chapter 657 Ending

Outside the Holy City.

Although before, Sha Tiao Aige had gone to stop the shrinkage of the world's border, even so, the world's border had already shrunk to a location only a thousand meters away from the Holy City.

In the area a thousand meters away, both the village of the mountain people and the territory of the Sun King had completely become nothingness.

"Why, what is the reason..."

I saw Sha Tiao Aige floating on the edge of the world's border, with one hand stretched out and pressed on the world's border to prevent the speed of the world's border from shrinking. At the same time, she was also looking for the reason for the situation between herself and the root.

Zhao Si had speculated before that the reason might not lie with her, but might lie at the root.

This is most likely true, but even so, Sajo Aika is constantly looking for other possibilities, hoping to return to her previous state as quickly as possible.

This was not just due to her dissatisfaction with her current inability to deal with the Lion King. There were more reasons. Aiko Sajo had a vague intuition that if she and Zhao Si wanted to set out to find Illya in the future, then her recovery to her previous state could be said to be a necessary condition.

Whether she recovers or not is the key to whether she and Zhao Si can enter the world where Illya is.

So, even while preventing the world's borders from shrinking, she was constantly sensing the location of the source, trying to get some response from the source.

However, until now, no matter how she sensed it, the source was like a jar of stagnant water. No matter how many stones she threw, she could not make the stagnant water ripple.

In some ways, this was even worse than when she'd first arrived in Gensokyo and been cut off from the source of the Type-Moon world. Even if it was severed, there was still a chance of a connection. But in this situation, Sajo Aika had no way of confirming whether the source could ever recover its former vitality. She couldn't offer any help, so she could only wait.

"...It still doesn't work. Ahhh, tsk, so annoying. Aren't they done with my brother yet?"

Scratching her hair in annoyance, messing up her short, shiny golden hair, Shajo Aige turned her head to look in the direction of the Holy City. The very conspicuous pillar of light that reached the sky was still radiating light all around.

Obviously, the outcome has not been decided yet, so she has to continue to slow down the contraction of the world's border.

This shouldn't be the case. Why did it take so long? Could it be that Lily changed her mind?

With a slight frown, Sajo Aika came to her senses and realized the problem.

Logically speaking, as long as Lily obtains the Holy Sword and faces the Lion King, regardless of whether she can defeat him or not, after the magic costume given to Lily by Aika Sajo is removed, the two will eventually merge into one again due to their fundamental attraction.

By that time, perhaps Lily, who did not get the Holy Sword, would be eroded by the divinity of the Holy Sword again, but with the Holy Sword, Lily could find herself again, and then further become the leader, and restore from the Lion King to King Arthur.

At that point, naturally, the battle would no longer continue. Lily could then release the Holy Lance, erasing the anomaly of this singularity and fulfilling Chaldea's goal of saving humanity.

According to this script, the contraction of the world border should have ended around this time. However, until now, Aika Shajo has not felt any signs of slowing down the speed of the world border's contraction.

""

The outstretched hand slowly retracted. For Sha Tiao Aige now, the first factor she considered in everything was always Zhao Si, followed by herself, and then those familiar people around her.

Just as she said, the ending of this world was not something she considered. Therefore, after realizing that something might have gone wrong with Zhao Si, her first thought was to give up blocking the spread of the world's borders and go to the Holy City to see what was going on.

"Um?"

However, just as she had this thought and hadn't even withdrawn her hand, a system prompt suddenly popped up in front of her.

That was a message from Zhao Si. Seeing this, Shatiao Aige stretched out his hand again to block the expansion of the world's border, and immediately opened the letter from Zhao Si.

A moment later...

"this..."

After reading the message sent by Zhao Si, a look of surprise appeared on Shatiao Aige's face. Then, before she could react, the change she had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared in the distant Holy City.

"Hurry up... Zi... Get away from... Fujimaru, you've... experienced... a dangerous... magical reaction..."

“Ka——!!”

As Romani's voice came out intermittently, accompanied by a sharp electric sound, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu looked at the magic barrier in front of them in surprise.

Accompanied by the sound of shattering, hideous cracks began to appear on the magic barrier, and dazzling scarlet light spread to the outside world through those cracks.

Under the illumination of that red light, everything in the world seemed to become unstable.

After hearing Romani's voice, even though the information was not conveyed completely, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu realized the seriousness of the problem.

However, the Holy City was shattered after revealing its true appearance. The two were now in the royal city and had long lost the way back to the ground.

"Senior, stay behind me!"

Mashu made a quick judgment and raised a large cross shield to block Fujimaru Ritsuka, ready to stop the possible crisis.

"Bang!!"

Almost at the same time, the pillar of light in front of the two people shattered in an instant, and was replaced by a scarlet beam of light wrapped in a white light, rushing straight into the sky.

"what is that?"

Mashu stared blankly at the scarlet beam of light that disappeared from her sight. The expected crisis unexpectedly did not appear. After the beam of light shattered and the red light disappeared, everything seemed to become calm.

Then looking at the place that was originally blocked by the magic barrier, the expected fierce battle did not appear, or maybe it was already over?

When Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka came to their senses and rushed to the top of the royal castle, they saw only two figures kneeling towards each other.

"Ms. Lily!!"

Looking at one of them, the two people from Chaldea immediately rushed over. Ritsuka Fujimaru went to support Lily, who looked a little weak, while Mashu held a shield to guard against the Lion King who was half-kneeling with his head lowered and holding a gun.
