Very well... Fight! Let's fight to our hearts' content.
Once you've fought to the bitter end and your magic is exhausted... then it's my turn to bring this farce to a perfect close.
However, just as Kama was about to arrive at the battlefield, an incomparably dazzling golden light suddenly shot into the sky from the direction of the port and disappeared into the horizon in an instant.
Kama paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his bewitching red eyes.
Although the identity of the other party was not recognized, it was not difficult to tell from the residual, immense divine magic power filled with the aura of the sun that it was definitely a top-tier Servant.
Could it be... that the great war is over?
That shouldn't be the case... She could still clearly sense that several equally powerful auras belonging to top-tier Servants remained in that area.
For the first time, Kama felt a sense of confusion about the future of the Holy Grail War.
But soon, she shook her head, dispelling these chaotic and disordered thoughts.
Regardless of the circumstances, after such a major battle, all sides will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
And this is the perfect opportunity to clean up the mess!
With that thought in mind, she no longer hesitated, quickened her pace, and stepped into the center of the port battlefield.
Almost immediately, she saw Tohsaka Yu leaning against the container not far away, her face pale and looking extremely weak.
As expected... the consumption is quite severe.
A playful, hunter-like smile appeared on Kama's face.
On the other side, Tohsaka Yu seemed to have also noticed her presence.
He looked up and, upon seeing the girl's familiar and pretty face, the seriousness on his face caused by fatigue was instantly replaced by a gentle smile.
"Sakura?" he greeted her proactively. "You're here too?"
As he spoke, he barely managed to support his weak body as he walked step by step toward Kama.
How could she not recognize that she's no longer Sakura?
Kama sneered inwardly.
What a fool...
However, this is fine.
The moment he gets close will be the perfect time to strike.
With this in mind, Kama stared expectantly at Tohsaka Yu, waiting for him to step into the "trap" he had carefully woven.
step……
Two steps...
Just as Yu Tohsaka drew closer, Kama's magical energy began to surge, preparing to unleash a fatal blow—
Suddenly, she saw a pair of huge beast horns protruding from not far behind Tohsaka Yu.
A pair of bright red eyes peered curiously at Sakura Tohsaka from the shadows, as if wondering what her little sister would look like when she grew up.
“Aaa?” she even uttered a confused sound.
Almost the instant he heard the sound, Kamana's nerves, which were about to erupt, suddenly... froze.
Years later, when she heard that voice again, the memory of fear that had been buried deep in her soul and dominated by that unreasonable "motherly love" was still... completely awakened in an instant!
She slowly, very slowly raised her head and looked at the blue-haired woman who was quietly gazing at her with a pair of gentle, watery ruby eyes.
She wore an ordinary pure white dress, her bare little white feet, and her beautiful face, which always had a touch of natural cuteness, exuded an innate, all-encompassing, gentle maternal aura.
The moment Kama saw this figure, the expression on his face, which had been full of pleasure and amusement, suddenly became fascinating.
Volume 1: Chapter 95 Aozaki Aoko Appears, Kama: Endure!
Tiamat...?
How can it be? !
The moment Kamana saw that familiar yet forbidden blue-haired figure, his usually languid and playful mind was struck as if by a bolt of lightning!
Her first reaction was that it was absurd, even...unbelievable!
Are you kidding me? !
That's Tiamat! The true second beast, symbolizing the principle of "return"!
Under normal circumstances, how could a mere magician, even under the rules of the Holy Grail War which have been weakened countless times, possibly summon such a terrifying being, one that could be called a "calamity"?!
In an instant, countless unpleasant memories filled with fear and humiliation flooded her mind like a burst dam.
She remembered how, in the last Holy Grail War, she had been effortlessly and completely submerged by this woman before her with her unreasonable "Sea of Life."
Her power of "love" and "desire," which was enough to manipulate people's hearts and bewitch all beings, seemed so ridiculous and so vulnerable in the face of that pure "motherly love" filled with primordial chaos and the breath of creation.
That wasn't a battle, and it didn't even qualify as "purification."
It was more like a loving, one-sided "discipline" that a mother would give when she saw her disobedient child rolling around on the floor and making a mess of the house.
She couldn't even put up a decent resistance.
And now, this "nightmare" that once brought her endless humiliation and fear has... reappeared before her?!
Moreover, she stood in front of the boy, whom she had just begun to show a glimmer of "interest," with such a "protective" posture?!
What... what a joke?!
An indescribable mix of anger and... a fear from the depths of his soul almost completely consumed Kama's reason!
But in the end, she managed to completely suppress the urge that was about to explode within her.
She knew that now was not the time to expose herself.
There is no chance of winning... Given her current injured state, there is absolutely no way she can win.
Yu Tohsaka was unaware of the complex inner thoughts of his "little sister" beside him. He simply looked at her pretty face, which was pale and filled with lingering fear because of the "battle" in front of her, and his heart softened.
He reached out and gently patted her head, just like when she was a child, and softly comforted her, "It's alright, Sakura. Your brother is here."
However, when Kama felt the warm touch on his head that was full of "pampering", his bewitching red eyes, hidden beneath Sakura Tohsaka's delicate appearance, involuntarily flashed a trace of extreme awkwardness and displeasure.
The goddess of love was being patted on the head like a little girl... It's a good thing I didn't reveal my identity just now, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing.
But in the end, she didn't say anything, only burying her pretty face even deeper in Tohsaka Yu's arms.
Just then, Kama suddenly noticed a pair of strange eyes looking at him with great interest.
She looked up and her eyes met those of Sesshouin Kihara, who was standing not far away. Sesshouin Kihara's eyes always held a gentle, compassionate quality.
She was looking at him with a smile, and for some reason, even though she hadn't said a word, her gaze made Kama feel a strange unease, as if she had been completely seen through.
Sesshouin Kiara did not choose to stay at the port. She simply took one last deep look at the black-haired boy being protected by Tiamat, and gave him a gentle smile full of "kindness".
"It seems you haven't finished dealing with your family matters yet. I won't bother you any longer. Let's... chat more next time."
After saying that, she opened her umbrella, turned around, and with elegant steps, quickly disappeared into the night sky of the harbor.
With her departure, the somber and stagnant atmosphere at the port finally eased slightly.
Tiamat's body began to emanate a soft, deep blue aura, like that of a primordial ocean. Her body, brimming with mature maternal charm, began to slowly shrink under the light.
In the end, Tiamat transformed back into the petite and delicate "Lily" version who looked only about eleven or twelve years old.
Yu Tohsaka knew that she did this partly because this era, and this "Holy Grail System" that had been weakened countless times, probably couldn't withstand her true and complete Spirit Origin as the "Creator Goddess" for long.
On the other hand, it is because...
Beast, in essence, is "human evil," a terrifying existence that threatens the survival of humanity, like "the cancer of the planet."
When a Beast manifests in the world and begins to operate on a large scale, the world's restraining forces—whether it is the "Alaya Consciousness" that protects the survival of humanity or the "Gaia" that protects the planet itself—will immediately activate the highest level of "forced exclusion procedure" to completely annihilate it at all costs.
Fuyuki now has two beasts, including Sesshouin Kiara.
Even in order to avoid making Fuyuki City, a singularity already full of "variables," even more chaotic, or even attracting direct interference from the "Counterforce," Tiamat must suppress her presence to the lowest possible level.
Although it's a bit of a shame that we didn't get to see the other three Servants tonight, at least we can be sure that this Holy Grail War... is clearly another 'monster war'.
After all, even a servant of Quetzalcoatl's caliber has appeared.
"Let's go back first."
Yu Tohsaka quickly spoke to the girl in his arms.
Sakura Tohsaka nodded slightly.
Soon, Yu Tohsaka was on his way home with his younger sister and... a blue-haired loli who was in a "sleeping" state.
Throughout the journey, he pondered the events of the night, and... something that concerned him deeply.
So far tonight, the Servants who have appeared include his own Saber Artoria, Sakura's Lancer Scáthach, Luvia's Rider Quetzalcoatl, and... that mysterious Assassin Jack, whose Master is unknown.
There are also three Servants who have not yet made an appearance.
If the original storyline remains unchanged, then Berserker should be the great hero that Illya summoned at Einzbern Castle, "Uncle Berserker" Hercules.
What remains are Archer and Caster...
I wonder who these two Servants will be?
Just then, Sakura Tohsaka, who had been silent all along, suddenly tugged at Yu Tohsaka's sleeve with her small hand and whispered in a pleading tone, "Brother... could you... not tell Sister about me becoming a Master yet?"
Upon hearing this, Tohsaka Yu couldn't help but think to himself: You're seriously underestimating Rin...
Given Rin's keen senses and her perception as a magician, she probably already noticed the abnormality in you yesterday.
But on the surface, he nodded slightly, which was considered as an agreement.
"Then... what about her?" Sakura Tohsaka glanced again at the "little girl" who was sleeping soundly in Yu Tohsaka's arms and asked with some concern.
Yu Tohsaka lowered her head and looked at the little "trouble" in her arms.
Tiamat, now back in her Lily form, is sleeping peacefully.
On her innocent, slightly naive face, the corners of her mouth were even slightly upturned, as if she were having a sweet dream.
Her long, smooth blue hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and the pair of small, adorable dragon horns on her head gleamed faintly in the moonlight. Her entire being exuded an innocent and lovable aura that inspired affection in those who couldn't help but feel tenderness towards her.
"Let's just say she's... the niece of an acquaintance I met at the Clock Tower?"
Yu Tohsaka thought for a moment and casually made up an excuse, "Her parents have some things to take care of recently, so they asked me to take care of them for a few days."
"Will this work...?" Sakura Tohsaka couldn't help but whisper, glancing again at the blue-haired little girl who was fast asleep.
At this moment, she was being held in Yu Tohsaka's arms, and she looked to be sleeping very soundly, appearing completely harmless.
If one had not witnessed Tiamat's devastating power, it would be difficult to associate her with that terrifying being capable of destroying the world.
Am I really going to have to live under the same roof as someone like that...?
Although Sakura Tohsaka hesitated, she swallowed the words she wanted to say and nodded gently, worried that Yu Tohsaka might become suspicious.
Not far behind the three, a woman was following them.
Scathach.
At this moment, she had transformed into a spirit and was silently following not far behind.
Beside her was Artoria.
"Why... are you staring at my Master?" (The rest of the text appears to be a fragment and doesn't form a coherent sentence.)
Just then, Artoria's clear, slightly wary voice suddenly rang in Scáthach's ears.
Upon hearing this, Scáthach snapped out of her reverie. She looked at the Knight King beside her, who had maintained a serious expression throughout, and gave him a playful smile: "No need to be so wary, Saber. I'm just simply a little concerned about some things."
"You're concerned about the girl in his arms, aren't you?" Artoria's tone was completely indifferent.
Scáthach's smile faded slightly, and after a moment of silence, she nodded silently.
“Even I,” her wine-red eyes, which always carried a hint of composure and confidence, were now filled with an unprecedented solemnity, “have never heard of a magician in the Holy Grail War being able to summon an unreasonable, extraordinary being.”
That is not simply "powerful," but a more absolute "rule" itself, seemingly capable of completely "negating" everything in the world, originating from the oldest "rules" before the world was even born.
However, after hearing her exclamation, Artoria simply shook her head gently and said in an extremely calm tone, "I don't really know either."
"But there is one thing I am certain of."
Scáthach raised an eyebrow: "What is it?"
