"You … You … You …"
When he saw Tang Hao walk out of the Holy Grail, Shiro Amakusa was stunned. He pointed at Tang Hao with a trembling finger, unable to utter a complete sentence. His expression was like that of a man who had returned home from a business trip, only to see his wife rolling in the sheets with his neighbor, Old Wang, the moment he opened the door.
As everyone knew, the Holy Grail War existed to allow the magicians to reach the source, and the Heroic Spirits who responded to the Holy Grail mostly had their own wishes. Some wanted to revive their country, some wanted to fight, some wanted to be loyal, some wanted to see the sea, and so on. Of course, there were also those who simply wanted to have fun. In short, they all had their own goals and desires for the Holy Grail.
However, times were changing. Nowadays, as more and more Heroic Spirits came to the Moon World, their attitude towards the Holy Grail had also changed. From the initial thirst, to indifference, and now, the Holy Grail had even become an existence that some Heroic Spirits had given up on.
For example, the saints, gods, and those who did not know why they became Heroic Spirits but were still very powerful, almost all disdained the Holy Grail. Even the ancestor Heroic Spirit Artoria, who participated in the Holy Grail War, hated the Holy Grail more and more.
Perhaps the Holy Grail also felt wronged, after all, it had done nothing wrong.
Of course, even if people changed and their hearts changed, there were still some Heroic Spirits who stuck to their original beliefs. Their desire for the Holy Grail never weakened, and even became more fanatical.
And the representative of this was Shiro Amakusa.
People could die, they could abandon their lives, and they could give up on their wives, but the Holy Grail could not be lost … This sentence perfectly described Shiro Amakusa's attitude toward the Holy Grail. He was so fanatical that he did not care about anything else, just like how a nerd would be fanatical about a paper doll.
Therefore, when their eyes met, looking at Shiro Amakusa's greenish face reflected by the green light, Tang Hao felt as if he had become Old Wang next door and had slept with someone else's wife.
In a sense, this was not a mistake.
Shiro Amakusa had painstakingly planned and prepared for sixty years. He had devised a plan, laid out a plan, and made alliances. He had even sacrificed his fake wife, Samira, in order to successfully activate the Holy Grail and make it fully manifest. Soon, he would be able to achieve the third method and realize his dream of saving mankind. However, the power of the Holy Grail had helped Tang Hao, and all his previous efforts had gone to waste.
Although Tang Hao had returned to the modern world through the power of the sand bar Song of Love, and no one else knew about this except for him and Yu Ji, the door to the [Origin] would not appear anywhere. There was still a need for an external force to open up this path, and that was the Holy Grail.
Thus, when the Holy Grail connected to the [Origin], its power was also exhausted.
Of course, because this was the goal of the magicians — to reach the source.
Sixty years of hard work and sacrifice, just when he was so close to success, all his hard work had become someone else's wedding gown. One could only imagine how Shiro Amakusa was feeling right now … Could he cry?
Shiro Amakusa did not cry. After all, he was not a child. However, his heart was bleeding, especially when he saw the Holy Grail gradually disappear. He sat on the ground, paralyzed, and no longer had any motivation.
How did Tang Hao come back alive from the [Origin]? What kind of power did he have after coming back from the [Origin]?
He did not care about these questions, nor did he want to know. Everything no longer mattered, because there was no longer the Holy Grail to pursue. There was no longer a need for the ideals that could not be conveyed, because there was no longer any power to fight for.
Sitting on the ground desolately, Shiro Amakusa's heart was like dead ashes.
"Hahahahaha!"
Just then, a burst of untimely laughter rang out. Compared to Shiro Amakusa's despair, the Golden Shimmering was extremely excited. As he laughed, he abandoned Patchouli and rushed toward Tang Hao.
Patchouli was a strong opponent. Although she was not a real magician, her power was not to be underestimated. The Golden Shimmering had already decided to let Patchouli replace Tang Hao and complete his ten-year obsession. However … although he thought so, he could not feel the slightest bit of joy from fighting with Patchouli.
At that moment, he finally understood that Tang Hao could not be replaced by anyone.
No matter how strong that person was, he would never be Tang Hao.
If he was not Tang Hao, even if he won, it would be meaningless.
"As expected, it's only you! Only you are irreplaceable! " The Golden Shimmering laughed maniacally as he walked toward Tang Hao. "Even Ishtar's death, even if you fight with all your strength, you can't bring me the slightest bit of joy. I only want you! Come, Tang Ritian! Let's bet everything and fight with all our strength! "
Tang Hao frowned. Why did it sound so gay?
He was really not gay!
"Wait! Now is not the time. "
"Tang Ritian, how much longer do you want me to wait?" The Golden Shimmering raised his eyebrows and looked murderous. "Since you've returned from the source, you must have recovered the power of magic. The Holy Grail War is over. Do you want to go back on your word?!"
"Of course, I won't go back on my word as a man, but before that, I still need a few minutes to deal with the aftermath. You can't even wait for a few minutes, can you?"
"Okay, my king has given his permission!" The Golden Shimmering raised his head proudly. He had waited for ten years, so a few more minutes was not a big deal.
Tang Hao smiled and then looked around. The people present were either injured or dead. Except for Patchouli, no one was in good condition. Among them, Miss Okita's condition was the most serious. Her Spiritual Base was damaged, and she could not be healed by any means. At this moment, part of her body had turned into Reiatsu, and it would disappear in a few seconds at most.
Except for the servant's death, it was not a real death. Except for the case of Roman, it was only a return to the Throne of Heroes. With Patchouli's magic power, it was not difficult to summon her again.
However, Tang Hao still wanted to test his current power.
So he immediately flashed to Miss Okita's side, his right hand around her shoulder to lift her up, and his left hand pressed on her chest. Miss Okita's face suddenly turned red, but at this moment, she could not even speak. Naturally, she could not resist and could only let Tang Hao do whatever he wanted.
To avoid her misunderstanding, Tang Hao said with a straight face, "The green power is protecting you."
As soon as he said that, Tang Hao pressed on her chest, and then it was as if time was flowing backward. Her body that had begun to turn into Reiatsu gradually returned to its original state, and even her broken Spiritual Base …
"How is this possible! My Spiritual Base? " Miss Okita exclaimed instinctively. She was shocked to find that her broken Spiritual Base had become intact. "This … How did you do this?"
"Miraculous Hands, Gynecological Divine Hands." Tang Hao smiled and got up. He did not explain, but he was sure of one thing — Miss Okita's breasts were quite big.
Then, he went to Little Ilya.
The Golden Shimmering looked at his back, and the smile in her eyes became brighter. It was difficult to repair a servant's Spiritual Base, and there was no doubt that this was the power of magic.
As for Miss Okita's fuss, he just wanted to say, "Sit down, this is basic."
Little Ilya's injury was not serious. Although she was just a human and could not resist Semiramis's poison, Ruby and Sapphire were not to be trifled with. The reason why the two wands did not react before was to help her resist the poison.
Her real problem was the side effects of using too much magic. After all, the damage caused by the Astral Girl mode had not fully recovered. Then, she had to fight continuously and even eat a noble relic. It would be strange if her body could withstand it. If she was not careful, there might be permanent sequelae.
Of course, in front of Tang Hao's gynecological divine hands, this was not a problem.
"Eh? Big brother! Aren't you … "Little Ilya quickly woke up, and as soon as she saw Tang Hao, she was surprised and happy.
Tang Hao did not explain too much and asked her to rest well. He then walked to Big Ilya.
Big Ilya's injuries were much more serious. Her body was already broken to begin with, and now she was suffering from Semiramis's poison. Although she was not dead yet, Tang Hao could see that a part of her body had already lost its normal functions. At most, she could hold on for three days before this body would be completely crippled.
Originally, Tang Hao planned to bring her to the Fantasy Village after the Holy Grail War was over and let Yong Lin heal her. However, it was obviously too late now. In three days, unless he used a strong medicine, even Yong Lin might not be able to save her. Fortunately, he had obtained a bit of power from the source, and it was enough for him to make some simple treatments.
In about two minutes, Tang Hao cleared the poison in her body and restored her physical functions and vitality. As for the original body structure that had been modified, he did not touch it for the time being because it was closely related to her magic circuit, and it needed to be gradually improved.
After the treatment, Ilya also fell into a deep sleep. This was deliberately done by Tang Hao.
After leaving Ilya to Yu Ji's care, Tang Hao diagnosed Rin Harasaka. Rin Harasaka was fine. He was just exhausted, and did not even need his treatment.
Five minutes passed. As Semiramis's spirit base was broken, Tang Hao could not help her heal her. During this time, she lay on Shiro Amakusa's lap and said her final goodbye to him. She left with a smile, and the Golden Shink seemed to be a little impatient. She asked in a low voice, "Can we start?"
"You're really impatient."
Tang Hao smiled and shook his head. He got up and looked at Shiro Amakusa first. The latter still looked like he had lost his soul, but there seemed to be something else between his brows. It might be related to Semiramis's departure … No matter what, he could no longer be a threat.
"If that's the case, then as you wish."
After a few steps, Tang Hao stood opposite the Golden Shink. The two were more than ten meters apart. The Golden Shink looked at him with endless fighting spirit in his eyes, but Tang Hao looked calm. He held the Penglai Jade Sword in his hand, and a faint green light flowed on the sword's blade.
Everyone knew that Tang Hao was going to duel with the Golden Shink. Therefore, when the two of them got into position, the others automatically retreated to the side. Although Tang Hao could not be the Golden Shink's match before this, he had come back alive from the root … Except for Shiro Amakusa, who was indifferent, everyone had a glimmer of anticipation in their eyes.
"Finally … ten years!" Without the slightest reservation, the Golden Shink directly pulled out EA. As the sword spun like a spiral, his whole body released an unprecedented amount of magic. Bathed in the magic visible to the naked eye, he was so excited that his whole body was trembling. "This king's ten years of waiting is not in vain. Regardless of victory or defeat, this is the last battle. Tang Ritian, don't let this king down!"
In fact, the Golden Shink was about to disappear because his master, Yanfeng Qili, was dead. Without the master's magic, the servant could not stay in the modern world forever. Of course, because Archer had the ability to act alone, he could probably stay for a few days, and this was under the condition that he did not use magic.
And the release of such a big rule of magic would probably not be able to last for a few hours.
Therefore, this would be the real last battle.
"Then I may let you down, because it won't be long, just one sword is enough." Tang Hao smiled and finally had the opportunity to say the famous line of the Shape Moon. "Then it's time, Hero King, do you have enough weapons?"
"Ha! What a fool! " Golden Shanshan grinned and slowly raised his wrist, which was trembling violently because of the mana going berserk. Behind him, a golden halo flashed at the same time and converged with the Unyielding Sword. Terrifying mana surged, and before the sword was even out, the powerful wind pressure had already crushed the surrounding ground, and even the entire sky garden began to shake.
Although the Sky Garden was Semiramis' noble phantasm, because its construction used a lot of real materials, it would not disappear with the death of Semiramis.
At this moment, just the prelude to the release of the noble phantasm was about to collapse the Sky Garden.
With such a terrifying momentum, even Patchouli and the others did not dare to stay nearby and quickly retreated. To be on the safe side, Patchouli also used defensive magic to protect everyone.
"Big brother … Is he okay?" Little Ilya asked worriedly. She had seen EA before and knew how powerful that treasure was. At this moment, the magic released by the Golden Shink was even stronger than when he was fighting her. The power of the noble phantasm would probably increase further.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine." Yu Ji said calmly, as if she was full of confidence in Tang Hao.
"I know that EA alone is not enough to defeat you. Even this power that can cut the world will not be able to break your miraculous magic, but!" The Golden Shink raised his head and roared, "In order to defeat you, I have opened all my treasure vault, and all my noble phantasms are supporting me. This will be the strongest attack so far. Tang Ritian, try to take it … Enuma Elish!"
Boom!
The moment the EA was released, the entire space seemed to be swallowed by the red energy. Just the aftermath of the shot up directly cut the ceiling of the Sky Garden, revealing the bright moonlight in the night sky. The light pillar that was like a raging wave went straight at Tang Hao.
Hiss —
There was a sorrowful sound in the air.
Crack —
There was a cracking sound in the space.
Buzz —
Tang Hao's sword seemed to have sensed something, and it was buzzing.
Tang Hao squinted his eyes. Although the Golden Shink had used up a lot of his noble phantasms, there were countless of them in his treasure vault. Even if there were only half or thirty percent of them left, if he were to integrate all of them into the EA, it would still be able to destroy the world.
Perhaps, he was facing the most powerful EA at that moment.
But —
"It's useless."
Tang Hao smirked. Under everyone's incredulous gaze, he took the initiative to walk towards EA.
He was not walking normally, but he was charging forward.
Even so, it was impossible for him to avoid EA.
Of course, his body was instantly swallowed by EA …
"Now, it's time to witness a miracle."
Although he was swallowed, Tang Hao's voice could still be heard from the red light pillar. Everyone fixed their eyes on him, and they saw his figure drifting left and right like a ghost, ignoring EA as he charged straight at the Golden Shink.
This was magic.
This was the root.
Of course, Tang Hao was not a magician. He was not like Aozaki Aoko, who understood magic after seeing the root. Although he had seen countless mysteries, he did not understand them.
However, before he left, he was marked.
The green light on his body was the mark of Love Song of Sand Sticks. That was the root that he had brought with him. Although the root did not belong to him, it allowed him to understand what magic was.
At that moment, he was using the power of the root to imitate the fifth method that he had seen on Aozaki Aoko. He allowed himself to wander in different timelines to avoid EA's attack.
Although EA was known as a noble phantasm that could cut through the world, it could not attack enemies in different timelines.
Therefore, the Golden Shink's EA blasted through the sky garden, but it could not hit Tang Hao.
If it could not hit its target, it would be meaningless no matter how powerful it was.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Hao was already in front of the Golden Shink. They were less than a meter away from each other.
"It's over."
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
He swung his sword, and blood spurted into the sky.
Ten years ago, Tang Hao relied on the world's protection to nullify all of the Golden Shink's attacks. However, at that time, he could only passively take a beating because his attacks could not even break through the Golden Shink's defense.
Ten years later, Tang Hao used the power of the root to ignore the Golden Shink's strongest EA and almost cut his body in half.
That was right, Tang Hao did not rely on his own power. He relied on external forces.
However, he won.
This was the result.
The winner takes all!
"In the end …" The Golden Shink lowered his head and looked at the horrifying wound on his chest. He lifted one of his hands with difficulty and pressed it against Tang Hao's sword. He smiled bitterly. "In the end … I still can't defeat you …"
Ten years of revenge had failed, adding another layer of humiliation to the defeat. However, Tang Hao also heard a hint of relief in this voice that was filled with bitterness.
"Do you know why you can't defeat me?"
"Why …"
"Because you're not the main character. If you were the main character, you might have won. So …" Tang Hao did not feel the joy of killing a strong enemy. He only smiled calmly. "See you at the seventh singularity."
"Ha … Hahaha …"
The Golden Shimmering Sword let out a hearty laugh. With a clang, the Obedient Sword fell to the ground.
A ray of spiritual energy floated in front of Tang Hao.
