Rin Tohsaka immediately became alert, while Ishtar from space simply sat quietly in her seat, coldly observing everything.
"No, it's not just that..."
Yu Tohsaka's gaze suddenly froze as he looked towards the various exits of the venue.
With a heavy metallic scraping sound, the heavy isolation gate slammed down, completely sealing off all passages.
"Distinguished guests, please remain calm!" The auctioneer on stage tried to maintain order, but before he could finish speaking, a shrill scream came from the back row of seats.
The crowd looked on in horror and saw a magician who had just been bidding now clutching his throat, his body visibly shriveling up as if all his life force had been drained away in an instant, turning him into a dried-up corpse.
Panic began to spread like a plague.
This place is no longer a safe auction venue, but has become a completely sealed-off hunting ground infiltrated by apex predators.
Upon witnessing the horrifying sight of the magician turned into a dried-up corpse, Cosmic Ishtar couldn't help but slightly narrow her golden eyes.
A cold yet powerful divine aura silently spread out from her, calming the chaotic magical currents that had scattered in panic around her.
Someone actually... caused trouble right in front of me?
How can they hunt so brazenly in front of the very people they promised to protect?
I was really... underestimated.
The goddess's lips curled into a dangerous smile, no longer the disdain and boredom of before, but the excitement and murderous intent of a apex predator who has discovered an interesting prey.
Her gaze swept across the entire room, trying to find the clueless "little mouse" amidst the chaos.
Unlike the goddess's aura of power, Tohsaka Yu appeared unusually calm.
He simply stretched out his hands and gently pressed them on the shoulders of Rin and Sakura beside him. A steady and gentle magical power emanated from his palms, instantly dispelling the panic and unease in his sisters' hearts.
“Don’t panic, stay close to me,” he said in a voice only they could hear.
This extraordinary composure quickly infected Rin and Sakura, allowing them to recover from their initial shock and immediately enter a state of combat readiness.
Yu Tohsaka's gaze calmly passed over the magicians who were fleeing in all directions and attacking the isolation gates in vain, and finally settled on an inconspicuous shadow in the venue.
He could sense that the evil aura that drained the magician's life force originated there.
At the same time, another, deeper and more powerful aura was slowly approaching their location from another direction.
……
As the auction hall descended into chaos, Kirei Kotomine slowly emerged from a secluded VIP passage.
He straightened his impeccably dressed priest's robes, as if he were just going to preside over an ordinary mass.
The panic and screams around him were nothing more than insignificant background noise before the start of a stage play.
He has only one goal.
His steps were steady and powerful, each step seemingly landing on some invisible point, silently passing through the chaotic crowd.
The panicked magicians seemed to be pushed aside by an invisible force, and didn't even notice the presence of the priest in black.
His gaze remained fixed on the young man in the front row who was the only one who hadn't moved.
The young man who shielded his two younger sisters behind him, standing alone, calmly gazing at everything.
Kirei Kotomine's amusing smile reappeared on his face, and a thick, black Bible had appeared in his hand without him noticing.
As he walked, he gently turned the pages of the book with his white-gloved hands.
"Let me see, Tohsaka Yu."
"Under the divine might of my Lord, before my 'proxy'..."
He was less than twenty meters away from the seat where Tohsaka Yu was sitting.
"Can you really surprise me?"
……
Just as the venue was in chaos, Rin Tohsaka's keen magician's senses detected a highly discordant "stillness" amidst the restless crowd.
It was a man dressed in a black priest's robe. He was walking steadily toward them, ignoring the chaos around him.
Wherever he went, the panicked magicians seemed to be separated by an invisible wall, and no one could touch the hem of his clothes.
A chill emanating from the depths of his soul sent shivers down Rin's spine.
"Brother, be careful!" She felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively warned, "That priest... there's something wrong with him!"
Yu Tohsaka nodded slightly; he had already locked onto his target.
Meanwhile, the cosmic Ishtar beside him simply crossed his arms with interest, without immediately taking action.
She also sensed the unpleasant aura emanating from the priest, a mixture of human, heroic spirit, and some higher being.
But she also wanted to see just how much strength the man beside her could display when facing an enemy of this caliber.
Kirei Kotomine stopped about ten meters away from Yu Tohsaka.
He closed the black Bible in his hands, a gentle smile of compassion on his face, like a clergyman who had come to preach.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Tohsaka Yu, a variable in the pan-human history." His voice was calm, yet clearly reached Yu's ears. "I am a servant of the gods. I have come here to obey the will of the gods, to understand and 'reclaim' you, this 'miracle' that should not exist."
"An apostle of an alien god?" Yu Tohsaka replied calmly. "Your hospitality is quite peculiar. Using an entire train as a stage just to invite me alone?"
“To witness a miracle, some sacrifices are inevitable.” Kirei Kotomine’s smile remained unchanged. “My lord is very interested in you.”
"You possess a 'possibility' that even our Lord has not fully comprehended. So, could you please demonstrate it? The power that drove back the First Beast in the British Lostbelt."
“I’m sorry, but I refuse.” Tohsaka Yu took a step forward, shielding Rin and Sakura even more completely behind him. “I have no obligation to perform for anyone. Release the barrier immediately, or else…”
"Otherwise?" Kirei Kotomine's smile finally vanished, replaced by the cold indifference of a priest judging heretics. "It seems you have chosen the most meaningless form of resistance."
Before he finished speaking, the black Bible in his hand moved without wind, and several pitch-black shadows burst out from it, transforming into extremely sharp black keys. With the force of tearing through the air, they shot towards Tohsaka Yu's brow, heart, and Rin and Sakura behind him!
clang--!
Yu Tohsaka instantly threw out several gems, accurately blocking all the attacks.
"Not bad reaction speed," Kirei Kotomine commented emotionlessly, before disappearing from his spot in an instant.
The next moment, he appeared on Tohsaka Yu's flank, a black key in his hand, which he thrust towards Yu's neck like a venomous snake.
The battle erupted in an instant!
This was a fierce battle that ordinary people could not comprehend.
Various gems could be transformed endlessly in his hands, and magic surged like a tidal wave.
Kirei Komine, on the other hand, is like a ghost. His physical skills far exceed human limits. Each of his black keys carries the purification techniques of the executor and the eerie divine power of the alien god, making them precise and deadly.
The entire auction venue was reduced to ruins after the two clashed.
However, as time went on, Tohsaka Yu gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
His opponent's strength and skills were subtly superior to his own, and more importantly, the divine power from the alien god was constantly eroding his magic and defense.
"ended."
After a fierce collision, Kirei Kotomine seized an opening in Yu Tohsaka's defenses, and several black keys instantly blocked all his escape routes. One of them even pierced through his defenses and was aimed directly at his heart.
Rin and Sakura exclaimed in surprise, and even Ishtar, who was watching from the sidelines, frowned and prepared to intervene.
However, just as the black key was about to touch his chest—
Tohsaka slowly closed her eyes.
He abandoned all defenses, letting the deadly attack come at him.
But in that very instant, a completely different power awakened within him.
That was not magic, nor divine power, but something purer and more dazzling, like the first ray of light when a planet is born.
- Om!
Golden light burst forth from Yu Tohsaka's palm.
He slowly drew a golden sword, radiating endless light and heat, from the void. The sword shimmered with starlight.
The light was so sacred and solemn that Kirei Kotomine's black key, which contained alien divine power, melted away like ice and snow the moment it came into contact with the light.
Kirei Kotomine's eyes widened suddenly, while the pink-haired woman with a mature and alluring figure, who was in the shadows, also narrowed her eyes.
Her gaze as she stared at Tohsaka Yu suddenly filled with greed and longing.
This child is even more of a surprise than the last time we met...
At the same time, at the very moment Yu Tohsaka finally pulled out the holy sword that protected the planet, she was in a space that could not be observed or described.
In the endless darkness, a pair of enormous golden eyes, brighter than any star, slowly opened.
Those eyes seemed to reflect the birth and death of the universe, and the cycle of all things.
A vast and hollow will, indistinguishable by gender, seemingly composed of countless overlapping voices, slowly echoed in the space:
"The Holy Sword of Stars...?"
Volume 1: Chapter 143 Cosmic Rin VS Alien God (5K)
In the distant, unobservable space, those golden eyes were gazing at the ray of light that had pierced through the small "cage".
It is not merely a weapon, but the ultimate guardian formed from the planet's prayers and the hymn of life.
Its essence is the embodiment of the concept of "protecting the world," and it is the ultimate weapon born to fight against invaders from outer space and to sever the extraordinary feat that could overturn the laws of the planet.
Its brilliance is a beacon of human principles.
Its sharp edge is an absolute rejection of aliens.
That vast and empty will stirred a ripple in the darkness.
The alien god slowly narrowed his eyes.
If it's this thing... then this time, my apostle is probably in trouble.
……
The Magic Eye Collection Train.
The once magnificent and mysterious auction venue is now a scene of devastation.
All the riots and panic seemed to be forcibly paused in the face of that dazzling golden light.
And the source of that radiance was quietly held in Tohsaka Yuu's hand.
"impossible……"
Kirei Kotomine, or rather Rasputin, stared intently at the golden sword. For the first time, his perpetually expressionless face revealed a complex mix of shock, bewilderment, and absurdity.
What is this? What on earth is this thing?!
He could sense that it wasn't magic, nor was it a projection of any Noble Phantasm possessed by a Heroic Spirit.
What came from that sword was a more primal, more ancient, and even "unreasonable" will from the planet itself!
Why? Why is it that a mere human magician living in modern times can receive a response from the planet and possess this supreme power that even heroes of the divine age dream of?! Who is he? What gives him the right?!
This can no longer be explained by "miracle" or "variable"! It is an absolute anomaly that fundamentally overturns all the plans of him and even the "god" behind him!
We must... no matter what method we use, we must thoroughly analyze this exception!
In that instant, Kirei Kotomine's surprise and doubt transformed into a chilling resolve.
Without any further reservations or probing, he suddenly moved and headed straight for Tohsaka Yu!
"God, please forgive our sins!"
As he charged forward at high speed, he raised his hands high, as if performing a sacred prayer.
However, what erupted from him was a terrifying magic that had nothing to do with holiness!
Dark magic spread from his feet like living mud, instantly turning half the venue into a field that devoured light.
In this realm, countless twisted vengeful spirits, seemingly composed of negative human emotions, let out silent roars, stretching out countless pale arms, attempting to drag Yu Tohsaka into the abyss of despair.
This is not simply magic, but a "pseudo-divine kingdom" created by combining Rasputin's anecdotes as a "wicked monk" with the cold divine power of the alien god, which is enough to pollute the soul and erode reality!
Faced with this terrifying sight that would terrify any magician, Tohsaka Yu's gaze remained unwavering.
He simply raised the holy sword in his hand high slowly.
