Avicebron's Noble Phantasm, Crown: Light of Wisdom, was an unfinished Noble Phantasm he failed to complete in life.
Its main body is a Golem that imitates the original human, Adam. It possesses a self-operating Reality Marble that can change the world. As long as its feet are on the ground, it cannot be destroyed and can supply magical energy endlessly. It can also quickly recover from injuries, and at the same time, it can erode the surrounding land, gradually [paradise-izing] it.
In terms of size, it was fifteen meters long when it was first created, and its size would increase exponentially according to the scope of the land that was paradise-ized and the duration of its activity.
In terms of strength, its combat power exceeds the average level of a giant, and it can fight against a Servant. When its size grows to a thousand meters, without a top-class Servant army, it will not be able to contend against it.
It seems very powerful, but its weaknesses are also obvious.
To defeat the Golem, one only needs to make its two feet leave the [paradise], and at the same time, destroy the Golem's core and head while it is floating in the air.
To accomplish the above two conditions is indeed not easy for ordinary Servants, but for Uchiha Madara, it is extremely simple.
A mere fifteen-meter-tall Golem was nothing but a pebble at the knee of the Susanoo, which towered over two hundred meters.
With a kick, it was sent flying, only to be cleaved by the sword.
The blade, capable of slicing through mountains, tore the tiny Golem apart, sending countless chunks of mud scattering in all directions.
Avicebron's expression instantly froze. He stared blankly at the Susanoo, which strode forward with its sword, and said in a near-manic tone, "This shouldn't be happening! This shouldn't be happening! My 'Adam'… can't be this weak!!!"
"Retreat!"
Vlad III, who had led armies in the past, was very calm. After confirming the disparity in strength between them, he turned and fled without the slightest reluctance.
Victory and defeat were commonplace in war. Vlad III didn't dwell on temporary losses. When he realized that their combat power was vastly inferior to the enemy's, his thought was to preserve their strength. There was absolutely no need to clash head-on with an invincible foe.
After all, where there's life, there's hope.
Darnic understood that this wasn't the time to fight with everything he had. He took a deep look at the Susanoo and turned to follow Vlad III.
The rest of the people here also left one after another, following the departure of the two leaders.
Uchiha Madara didn't know about Darnic's decision, nor did he want to know. He controlled the Susanoo and slowly raised the Chakra giant blade.
With his ten fingers gripping the hilt, he raised the Chakra giant blade above his head, and the Susanoo took a step forward, simultaneously slashing downwards.
A forty-meter-long blade slashed down, the blade's friction against the air producing a sharp whistle. The air seemed to be split apart, flowing to both sides, and a strong wind was generated.
BOOM—!
The blade stopped before hitting the ground, but the air currents produced by the swing wouldn't stop as a result. The violent air currents bombarded the ground, and the destructive slash extended straight to the distance, destroying everything along the way, stirring up countless mud and sand that rolled along with the airflow.
A castle built who-knows-how-many years ago turned into ruins under the Susanoo's sword, hardly leaving any remains. A wide riverbed, extending straight for who-knows-how-many miles, extended from the Susanoo's blade towards the distance.
"Boring."
Uchiha Madara turned, sheathing his sword. His Susanoo slowly dissipated, and he didn't bother to check if his enemy was dead or alive.
He didn't care about the lives and deaths of a group of weaklings.
Fuma Kotaro hurried over to join Uchiha Madara, and the two went to the next location.
In the cherry blossom forest, within the Reality Marble.
"Jewelcraft Sorcerer-sama!"
Waver and the other four Clock Tower Lords bowed, showing their respect for the Jewelcraft Sorcerer.
"Alright, alright~"
The Jewelcraft Sorcerer's demeanor was like that of an elderly person during the New Year, his face showing kindness as he took out red packets (materials) from his pocket and distributed them to the children.
"Consolation prizes, some magical materials, so you don't come away empty-handed."
Waver lowered his head, staring at the fish skin, fish bones, and fish meat he was holding in his hands. He felt them, pinched them, smelled them, and after studying them for a while, he gained nothing.
No, to be precise, he did gain something. That is, the fish skin, fish bones, and fish meat were all very high-grade magical materials.
Waver turned his gaze towards Lorelei, Marisbury, and Lieserotte. Their consolation prizes were also the three-piece set of skin, bones, and meat.
Lorelei and Marisbury came from famous magical families. They possessed a great deal of knowledge accumulated over the long history of their families, and they might know what kind of creature the skin, bones, and meat came from.
And Lieserotte had traveled the world and could be said to be widely knowledgeable. He might recognize the things the Jewelcraft Sorcerer had given.
However, when he saw the expressions on the three people's faces, he abandoned all those thoughts in his mind, because the three of them were similar to him: confused, bewildered…
So he turned his gaze to the Jewelcraft Sorcerer and asked, "Jewelcraft Sorcerer-dono, what kind of creature are these materials from?"
The Jewelcraft Sorcerer explained, "A Phantasmal Species similar to an anglerfish."
"Angler…fish?" The four Lords of the Clock Tower blinked, their expressions a bit blank.
Mu Yang suddenly felt something, withdrew his gaze from Waver and the others, and looked down at his outstretched palm. A golden cup slowly appeared, it was the Holy Grail.
According to Mu Yang's settings, the Holy Grail would appear when the number of participating Servants was reduced to a certain number, announcing that the Holy Grail War had entered its final stage.
In other words, at this moment, there were very few Servants left in Romania.
When the Holy Grail descended, the surviving Servants and Masters would receive a message, the news that the final battle had begun, the news that the Holy Grail had descended, and the location of the Holy Grail.
Knowing these three pieces of news, regardless of what the remaining people thought, they would all rush to the place where the Holy Grail was.
A great battle to determine the final victor.
The decisive battle would be held in the cherry blossom forest outside the Reality Marble, but Muyang didn't immediately throw out the Holy Grail. The moment the Holy Grail appeared before him, two unfamiliar voices rang out in his mind.
"Hello, Outsider, I am Alaya."
"Hello, Outsider, I am Gaia."
Well, well!
I was just about to pay you a visit, and you came looking for me again.
"What do you want?"
沐陽's gaze lingered on the Holy Grail, a smile playing on his lips as he thought to himself.
"I want to make a deal with you." ×2
沐陽 raised an eyebrow, interested. "Go on."
The conversation between 沐陽 and the two Counter Forces continued for several minutes, ultimately resulting in a deal.
The Counter Forces, using the avatars of all Servants within the Throne of Heroes as compensation, signed a contract with 沐陽. The contract's terms guaranteed the planet's survival and the survival of humanity, which were also the two Counter Forces' primary concerns.
After the conversation ended, 沐陽 tossed the Holy Grail out of the Reality Marble. After the contract was established, his communication with the Counter Forces no longer required the Holy Grail.
Furthermore, the Counter Forces also didn't need the Holy Grail as an intermediary for communication with him. He wondered what the two Counter Forces were thinking, actually using the Holy Grail to communicate with him.
沐陽 rubbed his cheek, pondering the reason.
...
At the same time, the group livestream started, and the idle group members entered the livestream room one after another.
In the livestream, there was no one in the desolate wasteland, only a golden cup, suspended in the air a meter off the ground.
"Where is everyone? Why is no one here? Who started this livestream? Explain the situation quickly."
"This livestream was started by Boss Mu."
"It's probably livestreaming the Holy Grail War, didn't you see that golden cup there?"
"Huh? The Holy Grail War isn't over yet? The contestants were eliminated so quickly, I thought it was over long ago!"
"So, the content of the livestream is most likely the final of the Holy Grail War?"
"It's the finals! To make it out of a battle royale with dozens of people, their strength must be incredible. A showdown between the strong! This is going to be good!"
"Selling sunflower seeds and cola, one jin for one gold coin."
"Damn, are you trying to rob me?!"
"Can't you tell he's joking?!"
One after another, the comments scrolled across the bottom of the screen. The group members were discussing with great enthusiasm, full of curiosity about the contestants in the finals. There were certainly some jokes and banter, and even quite a few of them.
"Place your bets! Place your bets! Guess whether the first person to appear on the screen is male or female."
"I bet on male."
"I bet on female."
"Can't we bet on genderless or intersex?"
"Don't mess around!"
The topic was quickly derailed. The viewers watching the live stream all placed their bets. They were only playing for small stakes, so losing didn't matter much, and winning would just be a bit of fun.
About seven minutes later, the first person appeared.
He had black hair that reached his shoulders, wearing a black, tight-fitting combat suit with red layered armor on the outside. The kaleidoscope in his eyes slowly rotated, and the whole person emanated an unusual sense of oppression.
"Hey hey! It's betting time, I'm betting on Uchiha Madara to win!"
"Me too."
"Same here."
"Add one."
The group members' choices were unprecedentedly unanimous. They had a clear understanding of Uchiha Madara's strength from several previous events. Upon seeing his appearance, they all declared Uchiha Madara the winner of this event.
"So... the final battle later is going to be Uchiha Madara's solo show?"
"Damn!"
"No way! I've seen too many solo shows. I want to see a battle that's evenly matched."
"Where's the referee? I'm reporting a bigshot who snuck into a low-level match."
As Uchiha Madara arrived at the battlefield, Ibuki Suika and the others also walked out of the Reality Marble and entered the battlefield.
When the three walked into the screen, a bunch of group members were puzzled.
"Who are they!"
"Don't know, never seen them."
"Nobody recognizes them?"
"I think that little loli might be strong."
"Why?"
"Because lolies are fierce. Look at how small and cute Hakumen no Mono is, but she's exceptionally strong. And look at how small and cute Leticia is, but she's also exceptionally strong."
(▼ヘ▼#) Angry
Leticia & Hakumen no Mono: Thank you, we are offended!
Kid, you'd better hide well. If I find you, I'll definitely mess you up!
Due to the anonymous nature of the comments, many people's desire to court death gradually increased, and they became unrestrained in their speech.
A certain member had just finished courting death when he suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness wash over him, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
"Why do I suddenly feel a sense of danger?"
The member muttered to himself, the desire to court death in his heart suppressed by the sense of crisis, and he didn't continue speaking. But others followed up on the topic he had started.
"You've got a point, it's convincing."
"I didn't think she was that strong originally, but after hearing you say that, I suddenly feel she's very powerful, extraordinary."
"Same here!"
"Come on, place your bets!"
"You again?!"
In the live stream, the group members were chatting and joking around.
In the battlefield, Uchiha Madara and the three from Gensokyo stood on opposite sides, sizing each other up.
The four had met before, during the previous chaotic battle. At that time, everyone was fighting their own battles, without any communication or direct clashes.
Although they hadn't fought directly, they had seen each other in combat with others, and knew that the others were not weak, but strong individuals with considerable power.
So... the formal battle hadn't started yet, but the probing had already begun.
Pupil power and demonic energy, the collision of these two different forces stirred the atmosphere, and the wind and waves gradually picked up.
"Frozen screen?"
"Lagging?"
"No, there are leaves drifting, it's not a frozen screen, and it's not lagging."
"What are they doing? Why aren't they fighting?"
"Aren't they all here yet?"
After a brief discussion, it was ended with a "They're fighting," as everyone's attention turned to the screen, and the barrage of comments vanished.
The battle between the four could be described with a single word: earth-shattering.
Ibuki Suika, transformed into a giant, was wrestling with Susanoo, and for a moment, they were evenly matched.
The aftershocks of the two giants' struggle caused the land to crack, with fissures spreading outwards.
The remaining Kazami Yuuka and Ibuki Suika did not join in the group attack on Uchiha Madara.
Both were very proud and disdained ganging up on a young man, so they started fighting each other.
Their battle could be described as a bulldozer. When Ibuki Suika threw a punch, the earth shook violently, and a large area directly sank a few centimeters. Countless dirt and sand were thrown into the air. Kazami Yuuka was not to be outdone, firing a magic cannon that created a trench.
At first, it was a one-on-one battle, but the destructive range of the moves was too wide, and it gradually evolved into a chaotic brawl.
At the edge of the battlefield, Shuten-dōji quickly dealt with Fuma Kotaro and, along with Ibaraki-dōji and Quetzalcoatl, drank and watched the show.
Fighting?
What fighting! Drink and watch the show! Wait for Master to decide the victor.
The comments section in the livestream was flooded with "holy shit" messages.
"I thought this was going to be Uchiha Madara's solo performance, but it's a battle of equals."
"As expected of the ferocious loli, instantly transforming into a giant hundreds of meters tall."
"Amazing! Worth watching!"
Half an hour into the battle, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada drove his off-road vehicle to the edge of the battlefield. Feeling the vehicle being tossed around by the raging winds, he gazed at the battlefield... a scene that resembled a battle between gods, and slowly uttered two words.
"Ridiculous!"
He then turned his gaze to Shakespeare, who, looking inspired, was excitedly writing a script.
Nodding slightly, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada signaled for the two to get out of the car. Abandoning the vehicle, they walked to a nearby mound, set up a barrier to conceal their presence, and quietly watched the battle.
There was no benefit to rashly entering the battlefield. Amakusa Shirou Tokisada planned to use Shakespeare's Noble Phantasm to guide the situation, forcing those Servants to suffer mutual losses, or even perish together.
Then... Karna would enter to take advantage of the situation.
