"Hey, hey, hey. Thomas the little engine. Look here."
Hearing Wu Ling's voice, Thomas Edison instinctively lifted his head. The next moment, Wu Ling, who was standing behind him, cut off the lion head.
"Sorry. It was actually this side."
Edison did not vanish after losing his head. The Holy Grails inside him kept supplying endless magical energy, and under that energy, his wish was about to be realized.
"I cannot fall... I cannot fall..."
A large amount of magical energy poured from the stump of his neck, trying to condense a new head and complete his revival.
Wu Ling did not give him that chance. He reached in from behind and pulled the two Holy Grails out of Edisons remains.
"Honestly. I am not the kind of brainless protagonist who waits for you to enter phase two and fights you again."
After saying that, Wu Ling put away the two Holy Grails and sat down on a large stone.
"Time to rest. Nikola Teslas side is still fighting anyway."
He called it rest, but Wu Ling had not suffered any serious injuries. Babbage and Edison were both Casters. Without territory advantage, their attacks barely affected Wu Ling.
Within the past half hour, Wu Ling had killed Babbage and Edison in succession. With two Holy Grails supporting them, each had lasted roughly ten minutes against him. As for the remaining time, Wu Ling used it to eliminate the Servants under Edison. One was Kato Danzo and one was Helena Blavatsky. Both were fragile, so with his refined assassination technique, Wu Ling killed them right in front of Edison.
The only remaining Servant from the original Singularity Belt was Tesla. Wu Ling had learned that, because of Teslas arrogance, he had no other Servants under him. He also did not create mechanical dolls or combat soldiers the way Babbage and Edison did. In other words, the entire original Singularity Belt now had only him left.
Even more conveniently, Tesla's position was exactly on the boundary where the new Singularity Belt was fusing in. In Wu Lings perception, Tesla was already fighting the enemy from that new Singularity Belt. Since time was still sufficient, Wu Ling did not mind waiting briefly to weaken the other side.
At the border between the two Singularity Belts, Tesla had also sensed what had happened in his own world.
He muttered in disbelief, "How is this possible? Sir Babbage and that bastard Edison both vanished?"
Tesla was arrogant, but he had the qualifications to be arrogant. Peerless genius, modern Prometheus, unrivaled beautiful man, rival of the inventor king Edison, and the man who recreated the thunder of Zeus upon the earth. Those titles were one reason for his pride.
As a Servant, he had once unraveled the mystery of lightning, a phenomenon treated in many myths as a divine or natural legend. Because of that, his strength ranked high even on the Throne of Heroes, where heroes gathered in vast numbers. That was why he could support this entire region alone.
Even so, he still had the limits of a Heroic Spirit. Otherwise, he would never have given up the chance to defeat or even kill Edison.
But now, Edison's forces and Babbage's forces, both of which could hold him in check, had disappeared within half an hour. That meant Tesla himself could also be killed.
Aooo.
A gray and red figure rushed toward Tesla. Tesla fired several bolts of lightning at it casually, the same way he dealt with dwarves and blue sprites. To his surprise, the dense lightning was avoided by that figure.
Tesla still did not care. The strike just now had been only a casual attack. That figure was only slightly stronger than a small fry.
He swept his left hand forward. Five huge bolts of lightning stretched across the figures path. This attack truly left it no space to dodge. In that moment, Tesla also saw the figures true body.
It was a gray wolf standing upright on two legs. Aside from walking on two legs, the wolf wore a blood red hood on its head and held a long, old hunting rifle.
After being surrounded by lightning, the wolf bared its teeth at Tesla. Then it raised the rifle and fired repeatedly. Tesla controlled the bullets with ease, and the wolf was burned to ash by endless lightning.
Inside the ash left by the wolf, a green pea appeared.
Tesla noticed the pea. But before he could react, it grew into a towering vine. Numerous whipping tendrils extended from the vine and lashed toward him.
Teslas eyes sharpened. Several lightning whips formed and struck back. They cut apart the vine tendrils, then hit the great vine itself. But those small lightning whips did almost nothing to the enormous plant.
Seeing its defense, Tesla prepared to release the True Name of his Noble Phantasm and destroy it in one blow.
At that moment, a huge roar came from above the vine. Tesla looked up, and a massive shadow appeared before his eyes.
Using electromagnetic force, Tesla swiftly withdrew from the area. The shadow slowly stood upright.
Looking at that towering form, Teslas eyes filled with eagerness.
"A giant species?"
At the same time, a golden object resembling a lamp fell from the sky and landed beside the giant. Wisps of blue smoke rose from the lamp and gathered into an enormous blue giant. This giant had no legs below, only a trail of smoke connecting it to the lamp.
The smoke giant snapped its fingers. A black framed mirror appeared before it. A human face emerged on the mirrors surface, shifted constantly, and finally became Tesla's face.
"Empty tricks."
With a thought, Tesla sent a huge lightning storm toward the two giants and the vine. But halfway through, the lightning turned and flowed into the mirror instead.
Then the two giants showed human like smiles. They looked at each other and rushed toward Tesla together.
At that moment, Wu Ling was standing above the battlefield under aura concealment.
"Little Red Riding Hood, the magic beanstalk, Aladdins lamp, the magic mirror. So every opponent this time is from fairy tales."
Wu Ling ignored Tesla and spread his perception. A few minutes later, Tesla was still fighting fiercely below, while Wu Ling opened his eyes.
"Found you."
