Honkai Impact: Dreams and the Holy Grail, but the Servant is Rei.

The enormous black and white wings resembling those of Gan Jiang and Mo Xie suspended Meng Weiyu in mid-air. Unconsciously distracted by his thoughts, he didn't even notice that he was tightly holding the girl beside him with his left hand!

The red item 【Projection Magic】 on the system panel was shining brightly at this moment, because due to the time reversal, the effect of "You have 10 minutes to gain all the stats and abilities of the Servant 【Archer Emiya】 at his peak!" was also reset!

At this moment, it seemed that if he pressed that invisible button again, he would transform into [Archer Emiya] and use the second ability of the red bar once more, becoming the most dazzling "King" in this moment, in this battle, and even in this Holy Grail War!

Becoming a "King" (Star God)? Using the power bestowed by Him (■■■) to challenge the unskippable levels chosen by Him (■■■), can such a pathetic creature be called a "King" (Star God)?

I (He) refuse!

"He saw the vacuum as cold and abhorrent, the stars and all things as abhorrent, the stars as mechanically operating, and the meaning of all things giving way to nothingness."

Whether it's a star god or a "king," they're all just clowns. He and He both let out a self-deprecating laugh.

"He continued to look until he saw a baby being born crying as if in agony..."

He realized that He was using His own experience to tell His story.

"He couldn't help but burst into laughter, and this clear laughter tore through the cold, lifeless universe, echoing through all realms to this day."

"Then wish us a good time," Meng Weiyu said with a smile to the image in her mind.

He laughed heartily along with the image of Him in his mind.

Inside the tavern, Meng Weiyu, who witnessed this scene, felt a change in her body:

"I feel like I've suddenly walked a very, very long way down the path of pleasure..."

Having lost most of his humanity, he murmured...

Inside the Holy Grail, Meng Weiyu, full of humanity, suddenly sobered up as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, and her mind was no longer filled with any other complicated thoughts.

The projection of the Star God of Joy alone forcibly interrupted the rewind, and the laughter emitted by His projection alone affected Meng Weiyu to this moment.

He was about to marvel at the unfathomable power of the Star God when he discovered that a warm, soft woman was already in his arms on his left...

The girl in his arms, with pink hair and a purple dress, was quietly observing him with a meaningful smile...

He could almost hear His laughter coming from somewhere far away...

Oh my god, He tricked me again!

At this moment, Meng Weiyu's earlier thoughts about fate had long been forgotten.

In the first second, he felt that his face and even the roots of his ears must be bright red.

The next second, he looked at [Xi Lian] in his arms and thought that since things had come to this point, there was no other audience besides Him. He was still the Master, and since he had already hugged Him, he might as well continue to hug Him.

In the third second, he remembered that not long ago he had first laughed self-deprecatingly, then burst into silly, maniacal laughter, and he wasn't even sure if he had actually said "Have fun" out loud...

He wished he could be blasted away by Yun Li's full-force attack right now, disappear into a crack in the ground, and then dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.

"It's so shameful, so shameful, so shameful..." This was the only thought that Meng Weiyu could keep repeating at this moment.

However, Saber [Yun Li]'s all-out attack on the building immediately brought him back to reality.

"I'm so sorry. There was a little mishap just now. I'll explain later," Meng Weiyu said, her face flushed and slightly stuttering.

"It's that being's influence on you, isn't it?" [Xi Lian] smiled and winked at him.

Hey! It really is His influence! Don't act like I'm making excuses, okay? Meng Weiyu mentally screamed.

The next instant, the girl in his arms transformed into a little pink elf with long ears, who whispered in Meng Weiyu's ear:

"It's better to stay in this form in the air, so that my partner can free up their hands to fight."

Meng Weiyu nodded, seemingly feeling a little reluctant and unwilling to part.

He quickly gathered his thoughts, tried to adjust his direction and projected airflow to make the two of them fly towards the location of Assassin [Kafka].

Having almost been caught by the giant sword by the ever-reversing wall not long ago, Saber [Yun Li] no longer dared to throw her weapon.

But the next second, a massive, disproportionate building wreckage, along with debris, flew towards Meng Weiyu and her companion!

Chapter 23 The Trembling Sound at the End of Tragedy (Part 1)

"A girl next door has just come of age; she is strong enough to uproot mountains and her spirit is unparalleled."

Upon seeing the massive wreckage of the building flying towards them, this phrase immediately came to Meng Weiyu's mind.

Not far away, Saber [Yun Li] stood in the ruins of a building, using her extended greatsword to knock away the wreckage like she was playing golf.

"Is this still Yun Li? Is this really not Berserker?" Meng Weiyu was extremely shocked.

This is no longer a simple worker ant lifting an object several times its own size; this is a worker ant knocking away something many times its own size!

He felt that even if Hercules, the Berserker from Fate, were here, he might not be able to create a more visually impactful performance than her.

Meng Weiyu was somewhat relieved that when he helped [Xi Lian] buy time, [Yun Li] rushed towards him instead of wielding a giant sword that could extend like a potato, destroying the surrounding buildings and launching "ruins and debris" at him.

Fortunately, things are different now. He and [Xi Lian] are flying in the air instead of holding down a ground position. Although his [Projection Magic] and [Pioneer Memory] levels are both below level 12,

Although these massive building ruins are terrifying in their sheer size and speed, they can be deflected by a barrier at the right angle and size, allowing someone like me, who hasn't fully mastered flying skills, to barely dodge them.

He and [Xi Lian] could even rewind time to the past for these flying buildings, but because of their enormous size, doing so consumed a lot of [magic power].

At this moment, Meng Weiyu could no longer distinguish whether this combat experience was brought to him by the ten-minute Emiya experience card, or whether he should thank the university's "Heavenly Pit" major for teaching a bunch of messy mechanics courses, or whether it was an organic combination of the two.

As for the small debris and fragments that were also photographed, Meng Weiyu and [Xi Lian] used a projected, traceable barrier to block them together, and they did not pose a threat.

After realizing that her attacks had been futile, Saber [Yunli] tried to catch up with the figure in the air, but the traps outside the building that could be activated at any time temporarily stopped her.

This time, Yun Li still chose not to rush through the countless traps. Instead, she launched another attack on the large ruins beside her!

Fragments of ruins and debris were scattered everywhere, covering the area in front of them.

As she used the building's wreckage as a stepping stone to escape the trap's range, Meng Weiyu and [Xi Lian] had already disappeared into the projected "blizzard."

Fortunately, the "blizzard" with extremely low visibility did not cover a very large area, and Saber [Yun Li] followed without hesitation.

Archer [Yanqing] sensed a huge explosion coming from not far away. He suppressed the corrosive effect of the strange energy in his body and rushed towards the direction of the explosion.

It seemed that he had made the same choice not long ago, but he couldn't remember how long ago that was.

This place is strange, and the cup floating in the air is strange. When he first arrived, the black liquid gushing from the cup drenched him and continued to spill into the surrounding environment. He quickly moved away from the area filled with the black liquid with his agile movements, which may be why he was able to feel that he had not been completely corrupted.

He could sense that the erosion was some kind of pollution, which was why he was no longer hungry or tired.

His memory was fragmented; he had even forgotten some sword techniques, but he could sense that his mastery of flying swords seemed to have improved.

There wasn't a single person in sight. It was like the afterlife, Archer [Yanqing] thought for no reason.

If an afterlife truly exists, where will the countless Cloud Riders who sacrificed themselves be? Will they be able to reunite with their loved ones? And why did I come to this dazzling, sleepless city? Shouldn't it be the Immortal Ship [Luofu]?

He searched everywhere over the past few days, and although he didn't find any landmarks, he was almost certain that this was Pinocchio.

He had a strange feeling that this place was a huge stage, as if a grand drama was being performed for some important person, and he was one of the actors on this stage.

Is the big shot in Pinocchio... the Dream Master who rules over the five major families, or perhaps a remnant of the Order?

He had heard the pioneers of the Star Train recount the "Dream of Taiyi," and felt that this illusion encompassing galaxies was indeed terrifying.

There was no reason for the bigwigs at Pinocchio to go through such trouble to kidnap him from the Immortal Ship [Luofu]. Even if they did kidnap him, what would be the point?

That eroding feeling resurfaced in his mind, forcing him to stop thinking.

Archer [Yanqing] sighed. At this moment, he noticed the shopping mall that had been reduced to ruins not far away and a small area that looked like thick fog not far ahead.

He was slightly surprised to learn what kind of fierce battle could have reduced such a building to ruins, with fragments of the ruins appearing hundreds of meters away.

One after another, flying swords appeared around him. He carefully observed the traces of the battle while remaining vigilant about the unexpected circumstances that might arise in his surroundings.

As a disciple whom Jing Yuan had painstakingly nurtured, his maturity and methods, beyond his years, were on full display at this moment!

One side in the battle appears to be using a highly destructive weapon, while the other side's battle traces seem to have been covered up...

Weapons of this destructive power are possessed by both the Cloud Riders of the Immortal Ship and large forces like the [Company], but few people possess such weapons on their own...

Such people are either powerful messengers like his master or powerful destiny travelers, or they are from races with innate brute strength or [abundant creatures], or a few individuals with genius-level martial arts skills...

The image of a girl in white and green, carrying a heavy sword, seemed to appear in his mind, but it was suppressed and sealed away by something.

Archer [Yanqing] frowned and quickly banished the distracting thoughts from his mind.

As he flew by, he arrived near the building and discovered that what was scattered around was not the building's remains, but rather a dense mass of tiny, strange things.

Some of them resemble spikes, while others look like parts of a machine. If you were to put them together, they would resemble some kind of predatory mechanism...

But why do they appear in large quantities as debris and fragments? Could it be that...

He felt a cold sweat break out on his back, because he guessed that the mastermind behind these traps, the other side in the war, seemed to be able to control these mechanisms at will!

With this in mind, Archer [Yanqing] dared not linger any longer. Stepping over the ruins of the building, he quickly left and headed towards a small area of ​​dense fog in the distance.

After a chase of more than ten minutes, he finally rushed into the area that was dissipating like a blizzard. With visibility of just over ten meters, the girl in white clothes and green skirt carrying a heavy sword, who had flashed through his memory, was now vaguely visible!

"Yun Li!" he shouted, instinctively calling out a name that should have been forgotten. Once again, his body's instincts overcame his fragmented memories!

Once again, but why does it feel like once again? Archer [Yanqing] was somewhat dazed for a moment.

“The prey has been caught.” At the same instant, a purple-haired woman in a trench coat suddenly appeared behind him from within the thick fog-like “blizzard”!

Assassin [Kafka]!

A large net made of countless crimson threads had appeared beside Archer [Yanqing] at some point. The net tightened instantly, making it difficult for him to even move a single finger.

Saber [Yun Li] turned around abruptly upon hearing the shout, only to see a crimson longsword piercing through Archer [Yan Qing]'s heart!

Chapter 24 The Trembling Sound at the End of Tragedy (Part 2)

Xi Lian, who had transformed into a dazed creature perched on Meng Weiyu's shoulder, suddenly spoke up: "Assassin's magic has fluctuated; she's right behind Archer!"

It has to be said that having a follower is great. Unlike when she was building a base, she no longer had to painstakingly project her rearview mirror to be constantly on guard against attacks from behind. Meng Weiyu thought to herself for no reason.

Just recently, [Xi Lian] told him that Archer [Yan Qing] had followed him, but this was all within his expectations. This projected "blizzard" was meant to keep an eye on him.

Even if Assassin [Kafka] appeared, he was prepared for either the possibility of being attacked by her or a three-way battle.

At this moment, the crimson memory crystal he was tightly gripping in his right hand shimmered faintly.

Now, although it's a little earlier than he expected, this is the opportunity he's been planning for a long time to communicate with Assassin [Kafka]!

Communication may be full of twists and turns, or it may be destined to fail. In extreme cases, this place may even be a trap set by this woman. But so what?

This high-stakes gamble began the moment he started thinking about flying in the direction her knife tip was pointing!

However, the next second, a notification came from the system [Entertainer's Encyclopedia] in Meng Weiyu's mind:

[Ding! Detected that the host teamed up with the assassin [Kafka] to defeat the archer [Yanqing], triggering [Gluttony's Praise], and obtained the blue attribute [Escape Sword - Level 1 (0/100)]!]

【Sword Escape】: Greatly increases the flight speed and accuracy of sword-type weapons. It can also provide initial kinetic energy to sword-type weapons by providing 【Magic】.

At that same instant, he felt as if he had the ability to rapidly launch projected sword-like weapons into the air.

Meng Weiyu: Huh?

He never expected that the archer [Yanqing], who was extremely strong in single combat, would be defeated and eliminated so quickly and easily!

While the extremely low visibility of the "blizzard" and the unique aura concealment of the Assassin class certainly played a role, was the ability to control others the reason that Archer [Yanqing] was defeated so quickly?

Indeed, in battles where masters can be determined in a matter of seconds, such powerful control skills can instantly decide victory or defeat, or even life or death.

Thinking that it wasn't difficult for her to break free from [Kafka]'s control, Meng Weiyu couldn't help but sigh.

Sigh, she definitely went easy on me when we first met...

The prompts on the panel and the thoughts that were active in her mind only lasted for less than a second in reality. Meng Weiyu stretched out her left hand, which was not holding the crystal, and snapped her fingers:

The projection of "Blizzard" was dispelled, Archer [Yanqing] was dead, and this method lost its greatest significance.

As Meng Weiyu flew through the air, he looked back repeatedly. Then, he and the bewildered Xi Lian witnessed the same "world-famous scene" reflected in Saber Yun Li's eyes:

A crimson longsword pierced through the blue-clad youth's chest, right from his heart. The blade twisted, and cherry-red magic flowed out like a spiderweb, extinguishing his last chance of life.

The intertwined crimson threads snapped and fell, and along with them, the lives of the subjugated enemies were shredded.

Archer [Yanqing] stared wide-eyed, his face filled with astonishment, seemingly never expecting to end up like this.

Several ice-blue standard flying swords that had been floating beside him fell down simultaneously, and like the boy's figure, they began to dissipate into golden specks of light...

Whether in the process of following forward or entering the "blizzard" where visibility was extremely low, archer [Yanqing] not only did not become careless in the slightest, but instead became extremely vigilant.

But when he saw the girl with the heavy sword from his memory in front of him, he was momentarily dazed and lost in thought, so much so that he called out her name.

The enemy, lurking in the shadows, seized this brief opportunity and launched a fatal attack on him...
