Outside the White Palace, colossal, terrifying tentacles writhed in the sky, exuding an aura of immense madness.
Demon God Pillars, and a great many of them, were appearing. Though they hadn't fully manifested, their oppressive presence already affected everything within the Singularity.
Beowulf had been in the midst of a fierce battle, controlling giant dragons against Edison's army, but with the arrival of the Demon God Pillars, all desire to fight vanished.
"That woman's gone!"
The man wielding the Spiral Neon Sword spoke. He was a Servant summoned by Medb and could sense if his summoner was still present. The Celtic soldiers around him had also disappeared, which was clear proof that Medb had "died."
Beowulf could sense it too, and he realized that these Demon God Pillars were also summoned by Medb. Now that Medb was gone, the consequence was that these Demon God Pillars were out of control.
"We'll disappear soon too."
The man with the Spiral Neon Sword said. Without a Master to supply Mana, summoned Servants like them would quickly vanish.
"This isn't the time for that, Fergus. The problem right now is these behemoths."
Beowulf frowned deeply as he looked at the Demon God Pillars in the sky.
Just then, Achilles drove closer. Seeing the two enemies he'd just been fighting stop, and the surrounding soldiers self-destruct and vanish, he chuckled, surmising what had happened.
"Looks like our assassination team had some success."
Achilles looked pleased. Beowulf turned and shot him a disdainful glance before speaking.
"And now what? You can feel their aura too. If we let them fully manifest, no one can truly stop them."
"Huh? Is it that exaggerated? These guys aren't your doing?"
Achilles frowned. Fergus, with his Spiral Neon Sword, chimed in.
"Perhaps it's somewhat related to us, but this outcome isn't what we wanted to see. The one who summoned these behemoths has already departed, meaning these guys are now out of control. If we don't stop them from manifesting, no one here will escape."
As if to confirm Fergus's words, all 28 Demon God Pillars, stuck in the sky, suddenly burst forth with intense light.
Visibly, the 28 Demon God Pillars rapidly merged. What were once uniformly thick, straight pillars began to evolve into some indescribable, tentacled monster. Spikes emerged from its extending tentacles, and its multitude of Mystic Eyes glowed with terrifying light.
"They've merged! Oh no, oh no! This is really bad!"
Beowulf cried out in despair. Dealing with even one Demon God Pillar was a problem, but he never expected them to merge.
An aura of destruction spread in all directions. The merged Demon God Pillar writhed as it continued to descend, many of its tentacles already touching the ground, leaving horrific imprints.
"It seems this is not the time for us to continue fighting."
Edison arrived, his lion's eyes fixed on the merged Demon God Pillar in the sky. He turned to Helena and Achilles and said,
"Helena! Command all Mechanical Dolls to attack that monster! Achilles, use your speed to slow down the monster's descent, please!"
"Yes, my King!"
"Got it, boss! Leave it to me!"
Helena and Achilles received their orders and immediately sprang into action.
On the other side, a golden light streaked across the sky as Vimana carried Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others upwards.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. The Master and the others are too close. Otherwise, my upgraded, even more upgraded Peacemaker would probably give that guy a run for its money."
Child Gil said with some regret from the prow of the ship. If he were to drop bombs from this distance, probably no one would escape.
"What should we do now, Master!"
Mash held her shield, watching Achilles turn into a green light and charge towards the tentacle monster. Though she felt a bit eager herself, the merged Demon God Pillar in front of them was simply too terrifying. As a Shielder... just breaking its defense would be a problem.
"We have to find a way to deal with this guy! Doctor! Quick, think of something!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka declared that this wasn't their expertise. Researching the enemy's weaknesses was Dr. Roman's job!
"Right away, right away! We've found it! This is a Demon God Pillar fusion, made from 28 merged Demon God Pillars! The power and life force of 28 Demon God Pillars fused together – it's not as simple as 28 times one plus one! The source! We must destroy the source that summoned them! Otherwise, trying to destroy it is almost wishful thinking!!"
Dr. Roman shouted.
Fujimaru Ritsuka's face darkened upon hearing this.
"Then tell me where the source is?!"
"The Holy Grail! These Demon God Pillars usually manifest using the Holy Grail as a medium! Get the Holy Grail! Then seal it inside Mash's shield! That should cut off the Mana supply to these Demon God Pillars, and they'll roll away on their own!"
Da Vinci's voice rang out, and Dr. Roman looked disgruntled.
"Got it! But where's the Holy Grail now?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka asked, then heard Dr. Roman shout.
"It's inside Cú Chulainn, who's fighting Mr. Mo! I'll go inform Mr. Mo! For now, it's up to you to hold off this behemoth!"
With that, Dr. Roman fell silent. Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned, then waved and called out,
"Gilles! It's up to you!"
"...Yes, yes, of course, this thankless task falls to me."
Child Gil shrugged. Immediately, a vast golden light appeared around Vimana. The next second, golden beams continuously shot out, bombarding the merged Demon God Pillar.
And just as Child Gil made his move.
"Roar!"
With a roar, Beowulf stood on a dragon's head and charged towards the Demon God Pillar fusion. Behind him, Fergus also stood atop a Demon Dragon, leading a horde of dragons in a charge against the Demon God Pillar fusion!
"Hahaha! After being a villain for so long! Today, I'm going back to being a hero!"
Beowulf swung his longsword, unleashing a flash of light, and at the same time, he shouted loudly. Behind him:
"Although I feel a bit sorry for Cú Chulainn, there's nothing for it! Your old man apologizes in advance!"
Fergus was Cú Chulainn's adoptive father, a man Cú Chulainn deeply respected. It's also worth noting that...
Fergus was one of Medb's men.
"All troops, attack! Fire all your ammunition! Monsters, with this king here! Don't even think about dropping another inch! Take this! W.F.D!!"
Edison flew up, two colorful wings extending from his back, spewing out massive amounts of electrified streamers. He was actually able to fly briefly this way.
Flying beneath the Demon God Pillar fusion, Edison suddenly raised his arms high. In that instant, tens of thousands of colorful lights bloomed, as if to paint the night with ultimate color!
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
Explosions continued, with decent power.
Seeing their leader unleash a big move, everyone else also activated their Noble Phantasms!
"Venus God! Lord of Heavenly Fire!"
"Chariot of the Raging Storm and Immortality!!"
"Looks like I'll have to use my Mana here, I'll go first! Take this! Spiral Neon Sword!!"
Fergus laughed as he activated his Noble Phantasm, a dazzling neon light rushing towards the Demon God Pillar fusion!
