Tang Hao was right, Youzhu would not be able to make it.
Semiramis was very strong, and her Sky Garden was a rare World Defying Relic. This kind of Sky Fortress that could be used to attack and defend was enough to give most people a headache. However, this did not mean that she could rely on this Sky Fortress to do whatever she wanted. On the contrary, if she was alone, she would definitely be the one who died the fastest.
After all, she was a Poison Killer.
No matter how great her achievements in magic were, she was still best at assassination and poison. Even if she relied on the ability of the Sky Garden to strengthen herself, it would still be very difficult for her to fight against a Top Grade Servant. She was not good at fighting a protracted battle, and she could not fight against many enemies. Once many Servants joined forces to attack the Sky Garden, it would be very difficult for her to defend it.
At the end of the day, when an assassin voluntarily exposed herself in front of the enemy, she was not far from defeat.
Therefore, in order to defend the Sky Garden, she had to rely on the strength of others.
Therefore, Midea was not the only one blocking Patchouli's path.
She already knew that the Garden in the Sky would be breached. This relic took a long time to activate, consumed a lot of energy, and could not be maintained for long. It was expected that the enemy would attack. In order to buy time, besides Medea, Gilgamesh and Achilles were also guarding the path.
Of course, Gilgamesh was an arrogant person and was not someone she could order around. Aozaki Orange had her own thoughts as well. Although the two of them were on her side for the time being, it was ultimately a union of mutual benefits, especially Gilgamesh … His goal was very clear. He only wanted to fight Tang Hao in his complete form. Everything that had happened before this, including the Tencao plan, was just a game to kill time. It would not be strange for someone like him to suddenly turn against her.
However, the enemy had the goddess Ishtar in their camp, which was too attractive for Gilgamesh. Last night, because Ishtar and Tang Hao were together, Gilgamesh did not want to have a conflict with Tang Hao in advance, so he temporarily suppressed the urge to attack Ishtar. Now that the two of them were finally separated, of course, he would not miss such an opportunity. He took the initiative to guard Ishtar's path.
Because of Aozaki Orange's stubbornness, she helped her guard the other path and blocked You Zhu.
As for whether or not it could be defended, it was not important to Semiramis.
That's right. Even if all of them died in battle, it wouldn't affect her and Shiro Amakusa's plan. Or rather … all of them dying in battle was the perfect scenario in her mind.
After all, the so-called Holy Grail War was to activate the Great Holy Grail through the death of servants.
Currently, the Great Holy Grail had been moved to the Sky Garden. With the power of this relic and Shiro Amakusa's prior arrangements, the Great Holy Grail would be further amplified after the death of the servants. Only the lives of five servants would be needed to activate the Great Holy Grail. Then, with the power of the Great Holy Grail, the Third Law would be achieved. When that time came, everything would be set in stone.
Little Grail?
No, that kind of thing was not needed at all!
…
Somewhere in the Sky Garden, there was a huge and spacious flowerbed. On top of the blooming flowers, there was a large stone. It was more than two meters tall and shaped like an egg. Previously, it was black, but now, when a certain gaseous energy floated over from afar and flowed into the stone, it gradually began to shed its black outer shell.
Shiro Amakusa stood in front of this large stone and looked at it as if he was looking at his lover.
"That's two people. Three more to go."
This was the Great Holy Grail.
Perhaps for others, in order to activate the Great Holy Grail, they had to first fuse with the little Holy Grail. However, he did not need to, because he had personally come into contact with the complete Great Holy Grail.
It was sixty years ago in another world. He was summoned by the Baylon family of Ainz to participate in the Third Holy Grail War. Although his combat ability was not outstanding, he relied on the advantage of his Ruler class to persist until the end and became the only servant who came into contact with the Great Holy Grail in that war. Because of that, he obtained the Receiving Flesh that allowed him to survive in the modern world.
The so-called Receiving Flesh referred to the body of a living person.
The servants summoned by the Great Holy Grail were actually just an amalgamation of magic. Once they lost their source of magic, they would slowly dissipate. However, if they obtained a real body, they would no longer need to rely on magic and would be able to survive like a normal person.
After that, Shiro Amakusa, who obtained the Receiving Flesh, was adopted by Yanfengli. He changed his name to Yanfengli Shiro and joined the Holy Church. He hid in the modern world for sixty years in an attempt to make a comeback and fulfill his dream of saving the entire human race.
However, what he did not expect was that just as the Holy Grail War was about to begin, he accidentally encountered a dimensional tunnel and arrived in another world, which was the current Fujiki.
After sixty years of preparation, he transmigrated to another world at a critical moment. This was his misfortune, but fortunately, the materials and holy relics that he had previously collected using his position also came with him, so they were not wasted. Thus, he decided to fulfill his dream in this world.
After that, he went to look for Yanfengli Shiro. Although Yanfengli Shiro was an individual from a different world, he knew very well what kind of man Yanfengli Shiro was. So, he told Yanfengli Shiro all of his plans and asked for Yanfengli's assistance. Yanfengli Shiro indeed began to help him as he had expected.
However, after that, he encountered another problem … He learned from Gilgamesh that the Holy Grail in this world contained an evil soul within it. Once it was activated, not only would it be the salvation of humanity, it might even destroy humanity.
Of course, such a Holy Grail would be impossible to use.
But fortunately, he was a servant summoned by Ainz Baylon, so he had a considerable understanding of the Holy Grail that they had constructed. In the past sixty years, he had done a detailed analysis of the Holy Grail and knew how to draw out the evil soul.
It was also fortunate that when he arrived in this world, there was still some time before the Holy Grail War. So, he joined forces with Yanfengli Shiro and Gilgamesh, and the three of them secretly came to the Great Hollow. With Gilgamesh's help, they transferred the evil soul within the Great Holy Grail to Shiro Shiro Shiro, the recipient of the Holy Grail, and killed it in one fell swoop, completing the purification of the Great Holy Grail.
Of course, his recipient was destroyed because of this, leaving only his Spirit Base intact. After that, under Yanfengli Shiro's suggestion, his Spirit Base was placed in the body of Yanfengli Shiro Shiro, her adopted son.
As a servant, this was Shiro Amakusa's current state.
Although the entire process was somewhat different from his original plan, at least up until now, everything had been going smoothly.
"They thought that you wanted to steal the small Holy Grail, but they didn't know that you didn't need the small Holy Grail at all. They thought that you were no longer able to fight after being injured, but they didn't know that you were just hiding here, waiting for them to kill each other in order to provide energy for the Holy Grail. Not only your enemies, but even your own people have been deceived by you."
Patter … Patter …
The sound of footsteps grew louder and louder as Semiramis, dressed in black, slowly walked over.
"If you want to deceive your enemies, you have to first deceive yourself, especially when facing a prophet like Tang Hao. If your plan isn't well-prepared, how can it succeed?"
Shiro Amakusa said without turning his head. "Since I can transmigrate from another world, it's not impossible for others to do the same. Since everyone who comes to this world starts at a different point in time, I can only abandon my original plan and do something different … So, the only people who know the inside story are you, me, Yanfengli Shiro, and Gilgamesh."
"Yanfengli Shiro enjoys this kind of chaos. He won't betray you, and Gilgamesh doesn't care about this at all, nor will he reveal your secret, but … do you really trust me that much?" Semiramis came to his side with a faint smile.
Shiro Amakusa turned his head and looked at her beautiful face, his clear eyes devoid of any desire. "You are the servant that I summoned. If I can't even trust you, who else can I trust? Moreover, to complete this plan, your ability is indispensable."
"But if it fails, you'll die. Furthermore, if the purification of the Great Holy Grail isn't complete, you may be harmed instead. Not everyone can be like Gilgamesh, who has the will to resist the evil of this world … Even so, you won't stop, right? "
"Yes." Shiro Amakusa nodded and looked at the Holy Grail in front of him again. "That evil spirit has indeed been killed by me. Even if there are remnants of the black will, in this purified garden, it will be suppressed, at least for a short period of time. And I only need an instant to complete the third method. At the same time … your wish will be fulfilled, and you will become the queen that rules this world."
"…"
Semiramis was silent.
She wanted to become the queen that rules the world … When she was summoned and Shiro Amakusa asked her what her wish was, she said this. In fact, she wasn't obsessed with ruling the world, she just gave a random reason.
It wasn't until Shiro Amakusa was severely injured by Yuji and his life was hanging by a thread that she realized what she really wanted.
Perhaps, what the Poisonous Woman really wanted was the purest water …
Ha!
Semiramis thought self-deprecatingly. Even if she had realized this, she wouldn't reveal her real wish to him, because she knew that in the eyes of this man, there was nothing better than human relief. Even if she said it, he wouldn't stop for her.
The sad thing was that the person she liked was someone who didn't even spare a glance at her and walked straight ahead.
"In any case, we are already standing on the same boat. Sorrow and joy, life and death, are all tied together. Next, we just need to wait quietly … How many people do you think will come here?"
"Lancer and Caster are dead. Saber and Rider are fighting because of their respective masters. When they are both injured, the remaining black coffins will directly blast there, detonating the entire battlefield. They will never be able to come here." Semiramis laughed.
"Then only Archer and Berserker are left, one of them must die." Shiro Amakusa raised his head and murmured, "I hope Gilgamesh can succeed."
