Chapter 670

【Both sides immediately flared up, cursing each other and frantically attacking each other's families.】

【Even many hot-headed guys from other worlds couldn't help themselves.】

【Starting by trying to mediate, they slowly became agitated and were subsequently assimilated.】

【"Tsk, they're arguing again. It hasn't stopped for so many days."】

【Others sighed.】

【For some time now, those people from other worlds had been visibly assimilated.】

【They even took pride in magecraft, opening their mouths to say 'Lord Servant' and closing them with 'glory and honor,' feeling even more honored than the people of Earth.】

……….

【Nightfall.】

【A silver crescent moon hung high in the starry sky, draping the earth in a hazy veil.】

【"Don't be so concerned, Junko."】

【Under the dim light.】

【Shijo Gan-an lowered his eyes, fiddling with a magic wand embedded with a huge ruby: "Although exposing the existence of the Assassin before figuring out Rider's trump card is indeed a great loss."】

【He chuckled, a hint of contempt appearing in his eyes: "But at least it let us know that Rider's Master is just an immature child."】

【Just some mangled human bodies, and he was actually scared...】

【Hmph, their family's heirloom gem magecraft is one thing, but for most systems of magecraft, if you haven't performed live dissection experiments on dozens or hundreds of human bodies, do you even deserve to be called a mage?】

【After the magic communication.】

【Enoshima Junko's ethereal voice, devoid of any worldly aura, sounded: "But Master, precisely because of this, if it hadn't been exposed..."】

【"Are you trying to say that we could have assassinated the paralyzed Lancer Master, or the Saber Master whose strength was greatly reduced?"】

【Shijo Gan-an interrupted her, raising his eyes as if seeing the disciple on the other side through the magic array: "Junko, strategy is important, but..."】

【Crack.】

【He easily crushed the wand, holding the sparkling red gem as it spun: "Strength is everything. Before the King of Kings, no matter what trump cards are hidden, even that Alexander the Great cannot be an opponent."】

【Servants all possess extreme self-confidence.】

【That is the confidence built upon the corpses of heroes from the eras they dominated.】

【That is why Saber and Lancer fought without restraint, both believing they would surely win again, which led to both being severely injured.】

【But King Gilgamesh is definitely different.】

【He does not just dominate an era; he dominates the Throne of Heroes. He is the strongest without a doubt; no matter the opponent or the type, they cannot be his match.】

【And that unexpected Caster is, after all, just a Caster. Perhaps they can hold their own against the King of Kings for a while, but they are destined to die under that divine sword.】

【The man named Shijo Gan-an had this confidence.】

【It would be best if his disciple's Assassin could be effective; if not, he wouldn't care in the slightest.】

【"So Junko, remain elegant and composed; this is the surplus of the destined victor."】

……..

【Many people gasped as they watched the confident and composed tycoon.】

【"Hiss, is he that confident?"】

【"I'm afraid he hasn't seen the 'broken-arm Gilgamesh,' who was killed by a single slash to the face."】

【"That was the Fifth War; his reaction speed wasn't high, and he was too arrogant."】

【"Once he encounters an opponent worth going all-out against—look at the time he met Enkidu in the Snowfield Holy Grail War. The golden projectiles covering the sky were already absurd enough, and they were all spraying Noble Phantasms like Gatling guns. Any serious Servant who showed their face would die, right?"】

【"But dare to say he's guaranteed to beat Brother Luo Shu? Even Gilgamesh himself wouldn't dare, right?"】

【"Yes, this time it's not one superpower and many strong ones, but multipolar contention. This is EX-rank; what if the Great Emperor's trump card is heaven-defying? It wouldn't be strange if he overturned Gilgamesh."】

【"The key is really with the Assassin. Saber's arm is broken, not dead. Once the Assassin is confirmed eliminated and Avalon is returned, an unprecedented 'plus version' of Saber will make a brilliant appearance. By then, it will be a four-way battle for the strongest."】

【"Don't panic, the Holy Grail War is only in the middle stage; everything is still an unknown."】

【"Abby: Four-way battle? What about me? Do you really think my 'Anti-Christ Tree' that kills whoever it sees is a joke?"】

【"You? Then you're in for a treat. This time, all four kings will serve you together. Let's see if you die or not."】

【Including those in reality, many worlds suffering from the remnants of cults were itching with hatred.】

【Abby's strongest Noble Phantasm is invincible in a duel? Then gang up on her; at worst, one of them gets taken out.】

【A three-way battle after that would also be very exciting.】

……….

【"Assassin?"】

【Holding the phone, the woman named Yukinoshita Yukino had no surprise on her face, chuckling: "How cunning, to have been playing dead all this time."】

【"Then Yukino, what's next..."】

【"Continue monitoring."】

【Yukino said with a smile: "Once Lancer leaves, shoot and kill Kudo Yusaku immediately."】

【Still underestimated magecraft.】

【The cavitation effect caused by the bullet should have turned his brain into mush, yet he survived even that.】

【"Hi, I understand."】

【"Then I'll trouble you, Meguri. When this is over, I'll take you to Hawaii to relax."】

【Putting down the phone, Yukino dialed again: "Yes, Colonel Mars, I need more nuclear weapons. US dollars are not a problem."】

【"You want the mage's corpse? That's no problem."】

【"A Servant is impossible; the consequences of such an existence's rage are definitely not something the Federation can bear."】

【"Well, I am just a hyena hunting the weak; I cannot represent the standard of mages. You should be very clear about that, right?"】

【"The surveillance satellite can't capture it? I have footage of the scene here..."】

【"Relocate the Holy Grail system and arrange the next Holy Grail War in the Federation? Possible, if I win the Holy Grail."】

【"Yes, the edge of the city is fine, the more the better."】

【Five minutes later.】

【Yukino put down the phone, her smile fading, her magnificent eyes calm.】

【Although the resources spent were a bit much, at least Saber didn't have to make a trip.】

【You have to know that restricting Servants to this city was never about protecting the Servants, but protecting these greedy big shots.】

【They don't understand at all what kind of existence a Servant is. Even she, holding eight nuclear weapons enhanced by magecraft, never thought of facing a Servant directly.】

【Do they really think it would take any effort for a Servant to kill them all?】

【Could it be that the so-called Age of Gods was actually caused by the overlapping radiation of gods, phantasmal species, and heroes?】

【Within ten seconds, let alone those big shots, even the weakest one on the front line would be enough to kill all three hundred million people in America, leaving not one alive.】

372. Heavens: Too shameless, more divine than gods, and still calling themselves Servants.

【"And arranging the next Holy Grail War in the Federation..."】

【Yukino shook her head, having almost laughed out loud just now.】

【Hilarious, truly courting death.】

【Think the Federation's urbanization is too high and the tens of thousands of gun deaths a year are too few, right?】

【Even now, she vaguely felt that this Holy Grail War was getting out of control; the casualties were already in the triple digits and heading toward four digits.】

【The coastline of Honshu Island disappeared by over two hundred kilometers on the first day, and the atmosphere over dozens of cities was ripped open every few days.】

【And this is still with the Servants not yet going all-out, mindful of the Holy Grail War's secrecy principle, and because they are all heroes who don't want to involve ordinary people.】

【Otherwise, let alone Fuyuki, the third-largest city in Japan, even the entire Japanese archipelago and thousands of miles of sea area—how long they could last is truly an unknown.】

【Such self-destructive operations can only be said to be the result of greed clouding the reason of these ultimate power-holders after dominating the world for too long.】

【Power...】

【Yukino sighed, glanced at the Command Spell on her wrist, picked up a burger and took a bite, standing up and walking to the wall covered with intelligence while chewing gently.】

【The past is the past.】

【At least within these seven days, holding a Servant, she was already an absolute authority above the human world.】

【Those big shots have already forgotten.】

【Power has always originated from violence.】

【The greatest violence is absolute power.】

【The Federation's supreme power is built upon absolute violence equivalent to the combined military spending of the top twenty nations.】
