Chapter 594

【Yingdao Mai didn't say a word; ignoring the wails of the Prelati's Spellbook, she used the authority granted by the black-hearted one to force it open amidst its fear.】

【"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn (Sleeping in the deep-sea city of R'lyeh...)..."】

【Feeling the fear of the human-skin book in her hand, she started by summoning the strongest monster recorded therein, aside from the Void Great One.】

【"Obey me, submit to me... come forth, Sea Monster!!!"】

【Yingdao Mai's face flushed red as she squeezed herself, constructing a magecraft array covering the sky above the forest at the fastest speed.】

"Oh ho, we're done for!!!"

Reality.

People were dumbfounded.

Holy crap, Abigail's strongest point was controlling monsters.

You think she doesn't have enough monsters here, or they aren't strong enough, so you're sending her a big one?

She has 'Evil Spirit Controller' at A++ rank.

"Sending a goose feather from a thousand miles away; the gift is light, but the sentiment is heavy."

"Abby: Thanks a lot!"

"Saber: Someone is sabotaging me, someone is sabotaging me."

334. Black Saber: Is it my turn?

【The 2020s.】

【Humanity once again ushered in great development; the maturity of nuclear fusion reactor technology revolutionized everything in the human world.】

【Energy was no longer an obstacle.】

【Colonizing the moon, reaching Mars, and even bringing all two hundred-plus stars of the stellar system into their grasp was just a stone's throw away.】

【The inner world where mages resided was the same.】

【The foundation was always ordinary people; with the explosive growth of the secular world, the magecraft world also began to secularize, gradually intersecting with the mundane.】

【First, naturally, were the five great powers, the agents of the collective human will.】

【The mysteries of magecraft, the temptation of immortality, and the dangers lurking on the flip side of the world appeared in the eyes of the peak figures of secular power.】

【Thus, based on the summoning of the Nameless King by a Lord of the Clock Tower's Astronomy Department, ending the Holy Grail War in one night and wishing for the King's longevity.】

【Led by the Mage's Association, funded by UNESCO, the human final relief organization—Chaldea—was born!】

【She grew up in such an explosive, unimaginably prosperous era.】

【Entering a national-level talent school with excellent grades from a young age, and with innate magical circuits of varying quality, her talent far surpassed her peers, leading to her secret selection by the UN.】

【Entering the secrets of the world, the world of the last gods, the remaining Phantasmal Species, True Ancestors, and mages.】

【Absorbing and learning magecraft at high speed through the Spiritron world, a technology that transcended the era by a thousand years.】

【This was the root cause of why they, the A-rankers and others, surpassed the painstaking research and hard work of mages over decades or even a hundred years in such a short time.】

【For a Spiritron world that was almost equivalent to a real universe but could accelerate time, all they needed was to absorb like a sponge.】

【The only thing limiting them was talent.】

【And she, Yingdao Mai, was both lucky and unlucky to become one of the A-members representing the best, excellent enough to need to carry the hopes of humanity.】

【The luck lay in being recognized and entrusted with the grand vision of humanity's future.】

【The misfortune lay in being burdened with such suffocating responsibility at only seventeen, not even an adult.】

【She worked harder than anyone, absorbing and learning everything about magecraft more diligently than anyone.】

【But in front of the gem-level Mystic Eyes of 'Future Sight' that reached the divine realm, and the family magecraft of replacing Heroic Spirit power... her "hard work" seemed so ridiculous.】

【Mocking her every moment: you are just a mortal.】

【Being able to grow up with a halo and receive the admiring gaze of her half-sister was only because she was in an environment without them.】

【What could basic magecraft ability do?】

【Could any of those top mages outside who had studied for ten or a hundred years be worse than her?】

【The analysis of the Future Sight held by the third member directly led to the birth of their human history observation mechanism twenty years early.】

【And in terms of magecraft talent, the lazy ones could catch up to her painstaking research in ten minutes in the Spiritron world.】

【Even as a Master, except for the mysterious first member, the other party's ability could be considered the strongest.】

【The second member, the witch Koizumi Akako, was indeed arrogant, looking at everyone as mortals.】

【But that was built on ruling-level strength that could even crush ordinary Servants.】

【The fourth member, the Valkyrie Hayasaka Ai, looked like an ordinary mixed-race gal, but that agile body was a formidable existence capable of melee combat with Servants.】

【And the fifth member, Gotoh Hitori, was only the fifth because of her social anxiety.】

【If a casual spell couldn't defeat an opponent, she would hug her head and squat down, shivering.】

【But given the second member's arrogance, she still looked at her with fighting intent; her strength was probably on par.】

【And the sixth member, Kitagawa Marin, was not as strong as her in terms of normal strength, but once given time to self-hypnotize and become a Heroic Spirit-like existence through acting...】

【She could even gain strength approaching the true body of a Servant.】

【As long as the compatibility was high, even the second member could be killed by her in an instant.】

【Perhaps even those B-rank or even C-rank special talent holders were far more suitable to be A-members than her.】

【That C-group member, Kazuma Satou, had killed a revived ancient dragon with his innate great luck.】

【That's right.】

【They were all talents gathered from hundreds of millions of people across various countries.】

【Any one of them was the word 'miracle' itself.】

【Only she...】

【Could do nothing, could achieve nothing.】

【"If only it were me who died..."】

【In the dim, gray world on the inner side, which seemed to be filled with smog at all times.】

【Yingdao Mai looked up blankly.】

【Watching the inner side of this gray, chaotic world, as if the world were just beginning, waves surged, and a deep shadow covering the heavens and earth slowly rose.】

【Like a wall of heaven, wreathed in evil, viscous smog, obscuring the entire sky, leaving only a pair of deep lakes suspended in the sky.】

【Those were its eyes.】

【Davy Jones】

【In the Fourth War data she had reviewed, it was a common existence at that Holy Grail War node.】

【Its powerful immortality was something even Rider, the King of Conquerors, was helpless against, and the Irish demigod Diarmuid could only sigh while holding his spear.】

【This kind of super-giant monster, even if it possessed divinity and held a godhead, was not a problem for the heroes of the Age of Gods.】

【But if it also possessed incredible regeneration and immortality, it was an almost unsolvable existence.】

【In that Holy Grail War, this familiar of the outer space god even landed in Japan, bringing hundreds of millions of people into its predation range.】

【In the end, it was at the cost of Diarmuid breaking his Noble Phantasm that the Miracle King Saber's Noble Phantasm, Excalibur, was unsealed, and it was completely annihilated by the light of the stars.】

【But even a Sea Monster capable of tearing gods apart, dying under the strongest holy sword, was enough to be proud of.】

【Its strength was absolutely unquestionable.】

【It was also her strongest trump card—after being gifted a Noble Phantasm by that guy.】

【It was originally meant as a backup to deal with the mastermind, but now...】

【"Eh, is this a gift for Abby? Abby likes it very much."】

【The golden-haired little girl tilted her head, standing on top of the monster that filled the earth and sky.】

【The terrifying god-spawn, which should have been filled with chaotic malice and attempted to devour all life in the world, was now as obedient as a dog facing its master.】

【It even slapped its tentacles, which were like rolling mountains, smashing abysses stretching for more than ten miles into the dim earth.】

【Yingdao Mai didn't speak, looking blankly at the copy of the R'lyeh Text, the Prelati's Spellbook, in her hand.】

【It wasn't that there weren't stronger monster summoning incantations in it.】

【But what would be the point? Sending slaves to this Servant who radiated terrifying malice?】

【But facing a Servant, besides the Noble Phantasm in her hand, what else could she rely on?】

【This ridiculous magecraft?】

【No, magecraft isn't ridiculous; it's she who is ridiculous.】

【If it were those few, they would have a way to deal with this situation.】
