Chapter 721

Abigail already possesses it, and besides, would the Sixth Beast not have a Noble Phantasm?

……..

【"How could it come to this……"】

【Inside the Shinomiya residence.】

【The telephone rang incessantly, as if it were exploding.】

【Shinomiya Gan'an no longer possessed a shred of elegance or composure; his hair was disheveled, his face haggard, and he sat on the sofa clutching his head, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant.】

【One strike.】

【With just one strike, the suzerain of Japan, the Federation, and the secret rulers of the Japanese magecraft world were all wiped out!】

【The entire Luzhou, along with hundreds of millions of people, simply evaporated in the flames……】

【In the long history of the Holy Grail War, such a scandal was unprecedented.】

【He was finished, completely finished.】

【The Shinomiya family was also finished; every one of these communications was a demand for accountability from the senior officials and heads of magecraft societies of various nations.】

【Clearly, even those magecraft families with deep historical foundations, and even those harboring monsters that had lived for thousands of years, were panicking.】

【It had truly spiraled out of control; even if that eighth Servant were killed, would the world still exist?】

【The great ritual that sheltered the world beneath the earth had become incomplete after the species of the Age of Gods faded into the Sea of Stars; it might not withstand a war of this magnitude.】

【Despair.】

【Utter, absolute despair. The man named Shinomiya Gan'an felt that the glory and efforts of his half-lifetime were nothing but a joke in front of a rampaging Heroic Spirit.】

【With a 'pop', it was all gone.】

【Suddenly.】

【The magecraft communication lit up, and the emotionless voice of his disciple, Jiang Zhidao, came through: "Teacher, according to the observers' reports, the Servants' battle has currently returned to the vicinity of Fudao City. Although it is on the sea, a considerable crowd of onlookers has gathered. Should we use memory-wiping magecraft?"】

【Wipe memories?】

【Shinomiya Gan'an laughed.】

【Damn it, the Federation is gone, the Servants have been exposed, and God knows how many bloodthirsty people who fear no death are watching—is this something that can be covered up?】

【However……】

【"What about Archer?"】

【"He is at the scene. It seems he discovered the Foreigner's stronghold very early on and has been watching the Servants slaughter each other from the sidelines."】

【"Oh, wanting to be the fisherman while the snipe and the clam fight? It seems the King has also learned a bit of strategy."】

【Shinomiya Gan'an braced himself slightly, a cold glint appearing in his eyes: "But now is not the time for such infighting."】

……..

"No, no, no, I think Shanshan is just watching the monkeys perform."

The Heavens.

People were speechless.

With such pathetic observational skills, he still calls himself a CEO and summons Shanshan? He completely fails to understand the nature of his own Servant.

A person as incredibly proud as Shanshan, wanting to kill?

He would only gather everyone together and then use an even more intense and powerful offensive to bombard and kill all enemies, damn it!

However.

Shinomiya Gan'an was clearly very confident and quickly contacted Shanshan.

……..

The Sky Curtain.

【High in the heavens.】

【"Eh, it won't work?"】

【The red-haired King scratched his cheek, watching the Knight who had again drawn his sword to charge, and said helplessly: "Then that's difficult. Facing an existence that is the natural enemy of Kings, I don't have much confidence."】

【Saber being so thoroughly suppressed was not simply due to being in a poor state.】

【That hatred for Kings, that concept of completely denying the existence of Kings, was the fundamental reason Saber could not exert power.】

【Not to mention, there was also the suppression of the Red Dragon's origin as the Ancestor of Dragons.】

【Thinking of this, even he felt a toothache.】

【In this Holy Grail War, Saber seems to have bad luck…….】

【"Hmph….."】

【On the Boat of Radiance.】

【The King of Gold saw through something; his anger vanished, and he sat back on his Throne, arm propping up his cheek, having lost interest: "Truly an eyesore. Although they are mongrels, they are still heroes who have made a name for themselves and shone in history. Now, they can't even handle such an ugly thing and actually crave this King's pity? Truly pathetic……"】

【Yes.】

【That clown, the so-called King of Conquerors, had no interest in any Noble Phantasm; he only wanted to provoke him into making a move.】

【To play such little tricks in front of this King, it really is…….】

【The corners of the King of Gold's mouth curled into a cruel arc, and just as he was about to do something, his expression suddenly froze; a light screen appeared before him.】

【"Long live, King of Kings, your subject has an urgent matter to report."】

【Shinomiya Gan'an, who had clearly tidied himself up, bowed respectfully, his head lowered: "Oh King, your garden is being trampled by beasts. I implore you to pity your subjects and slay him yourself."】

【Silence.】

【The air fell into a deathly silence.】

【A long time passed.】

【That flamboyant and unrestrained King slowly raised his head: "That is the gardener's job. Or rather…… Gan'an, are you mocking this King's treasury as a gardener's hoe?"】

【The tone was shockingly calm, and the lurking killing intent made everyone feel a chill.】

【Pfft~~】

【The blue Lancer almost laughed out loud.】

【But doing this would really lead to an endless feud with that golden guy, and it was also too classless.】

【After all, not every Servant has such a reason to trust their Master.】

【The King of Conquerors also curled his lips into a smile, remaining silent.】

【Well done.】

【"Your subject would not dare."】

【Shinomiya Gan'an's body stiffened, his head almost touching the ground, but he gritted his teeth and said: "But you have seen it too, the other Servants are too weak and powerless; even with the strongest fighting spirit, it is meaningless. Only you, the oldest and strongest Hero King, have the ability to slay the evil beast."】

【Weak and powerless?】

【The blue Lancer's smile vanished; he looked at the magic spear in his hand and wondered whether to throw it at him from afar.】

【The robust King's smile froze on his face.】

【What do you mean by 'only fighting spirit, weak and powerless'?】

【Insulting them to their faces? Is he that brave?】

【The air was quiet for a moment.】

【Then, a sudden burst of laughter rang out; the King of Gold almost laughed to tears, and it was a long time before he wiped the corners of his eyes: "I have to say, Gan'an, as a clown to adjust the atmosphere, you are qualified."】

【"Then, King….."】

【"Begone!"】

【The King shouted, and the magecraft communication dissipated as if being rewound. He then looked at the expressionless King of Conquerors, sneered, and was just about to say something.】

【Suddenly, a blood-red color covered everything.】

………

The Heavens.

Silence.

After a long time, someone said in a daze: "Gan'an-san is truly awesome."

Provoking Shanshan wasn't enough; he also stepped on Xiao Lan, Saber, Brush-bro, and the Great Emperor.

"Shinomiya Gan'an: As long as I offend everyone, then I haven't offended anyone; to kill me, they'll have to fight each other!"

"What a damn clever little ghost."

……

【Above the abyss of the sea.】

【A purple-black beam of light rolling through the clouds spanned the sea and land, piercing straight into the scarlet in the high heavens.】 ===== CHAPTER 722 =====
