Chapter 518: Desperate World-Saving King Fist, So-Called Power!

【You have used the Special Item, Inner Dead Sea Scrolls】

【Key item, Longinus Spear, missing】

【Key existence, Apostle, missing】

【Ritual deployment failed...】

【Ritual... abnormal】

【You have activated Third-Order Destiny·Deprivation of Fate, you have bestowed upon the character·Gilgamesh the new nature·Adam, nature compatibility: 56%】

【You have bestowed upon the Noble Phantasm·Ea the new nature·World Tree, nature compatibility: 73%】

【You have bestowed upon the character·Bai Mian the new nature·Lilith, nature compatibility: 59%】

【Ritual·Human Instrumentality deployed, effect significantly downgraded】

A series of notifications refreshed on the space panel like a waterfall.

"You base creature, how dare you..."

"What is this?!"

The intertwined consciousnesses were still deeply merging; Bai Mian used the Dead Sea Scrolls to treat herself as that sacrifice, or rather, to treat her incomplete personality as a propellant.

She dissolved her own A. T. Field, actively merging with Gilgamesh.

There was a trace of regret in Bai Mian's heart; this ritual, under the effect of her Third-Order Destiny·Deprivation of Fate, should have been more perfect.

The reason she did not rush to kill the various Servants and Masters, and even spared those fellows like Qiu Luo and the Man-Eating Flower,

was so that she could perfectly deploy the most flawless Barrier.

She could use the powerful Heroic Spirit Servants, along with the Reincarnators and Master Magicians, to gather 10 coordinate individuals, including the fusion of herself and Gilgamesh.

Finally, forming the shape of the 【Kabbalah Tree of Life】, just like the deployment in EVA, to initiate a near-perfect Human Instrumentality Project, simultaneously reversing and dissolving the A. T. Fields of all humans across the globe.

Turning all of humanity into Lcl Zhi Shui (orange juice), and thereby allowing herself to thoroughly ascend to the throne of God, becoming a... God, surpassing individual humans, Apostles, and Demigods!

Even in the Infinite Dimension, such an existence could not be called invincible, but by completely transcending ordinary life forms, it would grant her the possibility of plundering all power within this world.

She would also ascend to the heavens in a single step, almost completing the entire 【Ladder of Spirit and Flesh】.

It is just a pity that Root Shiki appeared...

Thump, thump...

Beneath the ocean of "orange juice," the violent sound of a heartbeat was like fetal movement; the next moment, a giant human figure was gestated from the Primordial Soup.

It was a human figure with a body of pure white, wearing short hair, with a face that was half-delicate and half-heroic, and it was still constantly squirming and changing.

Just by standing up, the body already exceeded ten thousand meters, towering directly into the clouds, with the cloud line floating beneath her.

Bai Mian had to lower her head; those eyes had now turned into the likeness of rubies. Because she was incomparably huge, the humans remaining in the city—whose A. T. Fields (self) were thicker and who were clutching their heads, delaying their acceptance of merging into the Primordial Soup—could see the crystal-like structure in those pupils when they looked up.

Those were the eyes of a Demigod, completely devoid of human emotion.

Bai Mian kept lowering her head; the next moment, an invisible Barrier appeared, but in an instant, it was pierced by the intense force field in front of Bai Mian.

Crack~ Snap!

The massive Barrier above Fuyuki City shattered, and Bai Mian's overly large face looked directly down from a position several hundred meters above Fuyuki City.

The ruby-like pupils turned slightly, locking directly onto the man with flowing pale white hair.

"Tao Baibai, you fellow, haven't you always been seeking the so-called 【Heart】?"

"Countless hearts have now merged into one; join the Instrumentality, and you will naturally be able to feel it..."

Bai Mian's voice rang directly in Bai Cangshu's mind; this was not an ability like Magic, nor was it mental influence.

It was the power of the soul. Now that the entire Fuyuki City was completely covered by Lcl Zhi Shui, the merged Bai Mian could almost influence any individual within it at will.

That Reincarnator specialized in mental power, codenamed 【Man-Eating Flower】, was already tottering, clutching her head, the Barrier outside her body growing increasingly dim.

Once the Barrier shattered, her A. T. Field would also disappear at any moment.

In this environment, only those non-human individuals had a unique advantage.

Because they were not living beings to begin with, but merely manifested by Heroic Spirits based on their 【Class】.

The pitch-black giant, Berserker·Heracles, stood in place, reached out, and fished that white girl's robe and that white velvet hat out of the ocean of Primordial Soup.

The giant suddenly roared at the sky.

And in the sky on the other side, a purple ray like a laser was speeding away outside of Fuyuki City; Rider·Medusa wanted to send the poor girl·Matou Sakura away before everything became unsustainable.

But even at her speed, all she could see was an ocean of orange.

It seemed all of humanity had already perished under this strike.

Root Shiki stepped upon the orange ocean, her kimono still unstained; she held the short sword in a reverse grip, walking step by step toward that white giant.

"Miss Root Shiki, you should be very clear about it, your mission... has failed."

Bai Cangshu spoke; he was still looking down at his own hand. In this hand, there was none of the power that Heracles had just displayed in that instant.

Transcending the shackles of the Class, transcending the influence of Madness Enhancement, and even instantly shaking off the obsession of fighting with himself.

Root Shiki's footsteps paused slightly; she saw that on this Tao Baibai, the radiance of the 【Savior】 had already clearly manifested. Even if that radiance was not quite the same as the brilliance of other Saviors, it was indeed 【Savior】.

Root Shiki looked down at the sword in her hand, then looked at Tao Baibai; the lines of death on the other's body had decreased by a lot, and the points of death had also dimmed and disappeared for the most part.

Correspondingly, she no longer had that blessing of the Counter Force.

Now, the other party was the one who had been chosen.

The corners of Root Shiki's mouth moved twice; she suddenly revealed a strange smile, and the next moment, she turned into a puddle of orange juice with a *pop*. Bai Cangshu understood that smile; it was likely a silent mockery.

It was just unclear whether it was mocking himself, or the Counter Force that had handed the Savior of this world over to him, or perhaps... it was mocking the 【Root】.

Bai Cangshu did not care.

He only felt that at this very moment, his power was stronger than he could have imagined.

And as that layer of the Barrier shattered, the 【Heart Net】 expanded once again.

Unlike the others who were all clutching their heads, resisting the impact of various imperfections in their hearts, no illusions or images appeared before Bai Cangshu.

He was also not subjected to any temptation.

There were no fathers or mothers who had lacked companionship in the past appearing to earnestly persuade him, nor were there past teachers or classmates coming out to preach.

Even those imperfect objects of fantasy from the raw, painful years of his youth were absent.

Bai Cangshu stood just like that above the sea of Lcl Zhi Shui, maintaining a self that was so complete it was almost proud.

"Human Instrumentality, that sort of thing... I don't need it."

Whoosh~

It was like a gust of wind blowing past, and also like a breath of Qi rising from within Bai Cangshu's body.

The next moment, the giant "tentacle" sweeping toward the sky behind Bai Cangshu seemed to pierce into the void in an instant.

【Despair Savior Mode, activated】

【You have sensed the Counter Force: Gaia】

【You have sensed the Counter Force: Alaya】

【You have obtained Gaia's protection—on the planet, you will receive an additional boost to Immortality and the Super-Speed Regeneration Tese; you will be immune to the influence of abilities related to fate, time, Causality, etc.】

【You have obtained Alaya's protection—when attacking targets identified as enemies of primates, your attacks cannot be dodged and cannot be exempted】

Golden Qi seeped out from Bai Cangshu's skin, like a layer of golden "membrane," and the next moment, it began to rise like clouds and mist, like flames, and then...

Boom!

The golden Qi shot straight into the sky.

Intense power surged within his body, and under the infusion of the overly powerful Qi, his muscles became almost comparable to the hardest alloy in the world—no, far beyond that.

His heartbeat vanished completely, and his speed was so fast that sound could no longer be perceived.

Amidst the rushing blood, blood vessels shattered over large areas, his skin was scorched by the scalding blood, and then the blood was likewise evaporated into red Qi mist.

The next moment, everything flew toward the sky.

The golden-red air current, like a pillar of light, erupted from the ground of Fuyuki City, from the sea composed of Lcl Zhi Shui, and roared into the sky.

The white giant of the White Face Avatar staggered backward, her white hair carried by the Qi mist, flying toward the sky.

Creak, creak, creak...

A sound like the cables and gears of a giant ship tightening erupted from within that white giant's body.

That was the natural intimidation emitted to the surroundings when that body, which was tyrannical to the extreme, moved.

【You have used the ability, Kaioken】!

Desperate Salvation gained a perfect double bonus; after Despair Savior Mode was actively activated, it gained a bonus once more;

And at this moment, via Kaioken, everything doubled again.

Bai Cangshu's pupils pulsed continuously; the overly turbulent power kept impacting within his body, giving him a pleasure that made him feel he was on the verge of being completely dominated by the power at any moment.

Yes, at this very moment, Bai Cangshu felt that if he only let go of his reason and allowed that peerless violence to carry his subconscious, he would turn into the most brutal fighting machine, letting himself be completely intoxicated by 【Power】.

"Hoo~"

Bai Cangshu exhaled; the continuous, powerful breath sprayed into the space hundreds of meters in front of him in an instant, and the next moment, the Lcl Zhi Shui froze completely.

Bai Cangshu tilted his neck.

Bang!

An inexplicable explosion appeared in the air.

The overly violent power, at the moment his neck twisted, completely crushed dozens of meters of air, creating a shockwave.

In the sky, various expressions still appeared in the White Face's eyes.

She had not yet perfectly merged, but all the consciousnesses, including her own, were expressing confusion at this moment.

What on earth is going on with the human below...

That scent, that feeling, that sense of presence...

It is completely unlike a 【Human】.

Bai Cangshu lowered his head slightly and inhaled slowly; a large amount of Qi in his chest cavity reacted with the scalding blood.

The next moment, he suddenly looked up and let out a terrifying roar.

"Ha!"

Boom!

A mushroom cloud exploded instantly, and a searing white shockwave took him as its origin point and swept directly toward the outside of Fuyuki City.

Rumble!

The city exploded in an instant.

Saber, who was protecting Emiya Shirou as they carefully rushed toward the Fuyuki City urban area, looked up in astonishment and immediately drew her sword, golden light shining forth.

The next moment, she was swallowed by the peerless shockwave.

Boom!

Everyone was blown away like small boats in the waves.

The forest outside Fuyuki City collapsed with a roar, the mountains shook, dust obscured everything, and the giant bowing in the sky also fell toward the sea, accompanied by a rumbling motion.
