Chapter 78 - Chapter 78: Saint

At this moment, on the light screen.

[Fujimaru Ritsuka watched the explosion with a nervous expression.]

["How is it? Is it resolved?"]

[He asked cautiously.]

[Before Mash could answer, a deafening roar suddenly sounded!]

[Boom!!!]

[Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, a black mist surged forth like a tide.]

[Then, a touch of blood-red swept across the entire space once more, dyeing everything scarlet.]

[Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash widened their eyes, looking at the scene before them with incredulous expressions.]

[The Demon God Pillar that had been shattered into countless pieces of flesh appeared before everyone intact once again! That ominous aura and scarlet eyes descended upon the world anew!]

["It's useless! Everything you do is futile! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!"]

[Endless laughter echoed through the air, so harsh and arrogant.]

At this moment, all viewers were deeply shocked by this scene, staring fixedly at the spectacle before them.

In the Tsukihime world, Arcueid was slightly startled upon seeing this strange phenomenon of resurrection.

"True Ancestor... No, that's not right."

She shook her head, quickly dismissing the thought that had just arisen in her mind. That thing was definitely not comparable to a True Ancestor...

The girl was extremely certain in her heart: "This isn't restoration, nor resurrection... but a brand new Flauros was born!!"

And in Uruk, Gilgamesh's eyes suddenly sharpened, as if he had instantly seen through some truth.

"Could it be that in this realm... the Demon God Pillars also possess immortality like that Tiamat?"

Even Gilgamesh could not remain calm at the thought of this possibility.

In the same Uruk world, Ishtar widened her eyes in shock.

"Are you kidding me? The 72 Demon God Pillars are already difficult enough to deal with! Now you're telling me they have an immortality buff in this realm!?"

"Not only are there numerous enemies, but they also have an undying attribute. How are we supposed to fight this? This is simply cheating!"

Ishtar's heart was shaken. Even a powerful being like her felt powerless in the face of such a scene.

Let alone Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had just entered the world of magecraft, and the inexperienced Demi-Servant...

For a moment, despair spread in her heart. But she quickly rallied and chose to believe in Chaldea's power.

At this moment, the battle in the light screen continued.

[Not just within the temple.]

[Even Chaldea heard a loud noise, the aftershocks of the explosion seemingly piercing through the boundaries of time and space.]

[This battle was not limited to the Temple of Time; it was also fiercely unfolding inside Chaldea.]

Seeing this scene, the viewers were no longer surprised.

After all, if Chaldea could detect this Time Temple, which should have been undetectable, then naturally, the other side could also detect Chaldea's existence.

It was only a matter of time before they launched a counterattack.

[Comments]

[Tōsaka Tokiomi: So that's how it is. The other side has also launched an offensive... It seems the next battle will be a fierce offensive and defensive war. Both sides must capture the other's base as quickly as possible!]

[Gilgamesh: Hahahaha! Every moment is crucial... If Chaldea falls before Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others defeat the King of Mages, all efforts will be in vain.]

[Jeanne: This is a race against time... Hang in there, Fujimaru Ritsuka!]

[Cú Chulainn: But Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash are facing an immortal enemy! If they keep consuming each other like this, Chaldea will definitely be the first to fall!]

[Zhuge Kongming (El-Melloi II): How can there truly be an immortal body? Even the great hero Heracles has a limit to his resurrections! This Demon God Pillar's regenerative ability must also have a limit. As long as we can find its limit and break it, the problem can be solved!]

[Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald: But how easy is it to find the limit of the opponent's ability?]

While everyone was discussing, at this moment.

The scene in the light screen continued.

[Flauros looked at the shocked expressions of the two before him and laughed maniacally.]

["It's futile, everyone! I am immortal, we are endless, because... everything in this space is 'us'!"]

[At this moment, the entire space was shrouded in endless blood-red.]

[The Temple of Time was filled with endless fear and scarlet.]

["Hahahahahahahahaha!"]

["Appear, appear, my brethren! Show yourselves!"]

[As these words fell.]

[Under the shocked gazes of Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka!]

[The sky suddenly darkened, and dull thunder echoed in the air. Then, accompanied by a strange aura, endless branch temples began to spread wildly.]

["We are the 72 Demon God Pillars!"]

["As long as this land and this Jeweled Throne still exist, we will never be destroyed! If you wish to kill us, you must kill all 72 of our brethren!"]

At this moment, listening to Flauros's words in the light screen.

Many viewers showed despair on their faces.

Everyone finally realized this cruel truth.

In this Temple of Time, both the King of Mages and the 72 Demon God Pillars could be resurrected infinitely... To break this curse of immortality, the 72 Demon God Pillars and the Jeweled Throne must be destroyed simultaneously. But this was undoubtedly a fantasy!

Chaldea currently did not possess such power! This realm was closed off and severed from the Throne of Heroes, meaning they could not summon Heroic Spirits and could not obtain those powerful helpers and firepower support.

The World of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the scene in the light screen and listened to the words within.

The hand holding the cigarette couldn't help but tremble.

"Is something like this really possible?"

Although the strength shown by the Demi-Servant named Mash was quite shocking.

No matter what, she was still just one person.

Even adding the Master Fujimaru Ritsuka, there were only two people.

For two people to simultaneously defeat the 72 Demon God Pillars and destroy the Jeweled Throne, no matter how you thought about it, the possibility was slim.

This required immense destructive power.

But that Mash's weapon was a shield.

"If a Demi-Servant's weapon is a shield, then its lethality might be lacking. This is a battle that cannot be won at all!"

Meanwhile, in Chaldea.

Dr. Roman looked at the scene in the light screen.

His face was pale.

Although he had been working hard to learn all the knowledge and skills he could, he couldn't think of any solution to the situation in the light screen.

"Could it end in failure?"

Dr. Roman was confused, but it was only for a moment. His confused and evasive eyes were once again filled with determination.

"This is something from the future. The future hasn't arrived yet. As long as we prepare from now on, even a predetermined future holds a slight possibility of change!"

"Even if it's one in ten thousand, or one in a billion, I will find it!"

At this moment, in the light screen.

["Your battle is truly entertaining, especially its futility."]

[With these mocking words, terrifying magical energy gathered once more.]

[The blood-red light flashed incessantly like a calamity, and the aura of destruction erupted completely at this moment!]

[Witnessing this scene, Fujimaru Ritsuka was filled with a sense of powerlessness, and despair surged into his heart like a tide.]

[They had reached the final step, yet it seemed there was no turning point... unless a miracle occurred.]

[But was that possible? Fujimaru Ritsuka felt as if the endless darkness was swallowing him bit by bit.]

[From Jeanne d'Arc in the first Singularity to now, the events he had experienced began to surface in Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind.]

At this moment, in the first Singularity, Jeanne d'Arc looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka's appearance in the light screen and couldn't help but clench her fists.

"Is there really no other way?"

"If only I could help him, even just a little!"

Not just the first Singularity.

The seven different times and spaces Fujimaru Ritsuka had traversed, the seven different Singularities.

All the Heroic Spirits in these Singularities who had been helped by Fujimaru Ritsuka and fought alongside him hoped they could appear on the scene.

They all wished they could help Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash.

But all this seemed like a luxury.

At this moment, in the light screen.

[Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes were filled with despair and he was about to be swallowed by darkness.]

[It seemed as if something was slowly breaking.]

[At that moment, a gentle yet firm voice echoed in this desperate domain!]

["No, it's too early to call it futile. From your perspective, isn't it too early to give up?"]

["Your battle is a long journey back through human history. You should face it with a sense of responsibility. Because countless encounters await you, even if everything on this planet becomes a battlefield of the Holy Grail War."]

[As this voice sounded, countless twinkling stars appeared in the sky, as if responding to the call of this voice!]

[That gentle yet firm voice continued to echo through the space: "Even if everything on this land has turned into long-lost ruins, even if there are countless powerful enemies at the end of the road."]

["You never give up. You always gaze at the sky, declaring that you will never let others decide the outcome!"]

["Now, everything remains unchanged. Come on, begin the fight, Master!"]

["~This is the story of you and us reclaiming the future!"]

[At that moment, accompanied by that mysterious and gentle voice, a golden iris suddenly appeared.]

[This golden iris remained dazzling under the cover of the endless blood-red, instantly attracting all eyes!]

[Golden iris... The flower language it represents is - commemorating the victory of the expedition!]

In the world of the Fourth Holy Grail War, when Gilles de Rais saw the familiar golden iris and heard the familiar voice, he could no longer remain seated.

"Saint... My Saint!"

Gilles de Rais, who had always mistaken others, finally recognized the right one this time! The gloom on his face was swept away, replaced by a radiant smile.

"Ah, Saint... I knew you would appear!"

And in the world of the Fifth Holy Grail War, Emiya Shirō saw such a scene and couldn't help showing a hint of doubt.

"What is this...?"

Although he didn't know who the person on the screen was, for some reason, those words inexplicably put him at ease. Under that mysterious phantom, he unconsciously relaxed his mood...

In the world of Uruk, the Wise King Gilgamesh witnessed this scene and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Demon God Pillar... You called this a futile battle... Hahahaha! How ridiculous. The 72 Demon Gods, the legendary Almighty King, are so short-sighted they cannot see through all this? Open your eyes and watch!" Gilgamesh said calmly, his tone revealing mockery and disdain for the Demon God Pillar. "From the very beginning, when the Demon King said this was a futile battle, I wanted to refute it! This is not a futile battle!" His words were full of affirmation and appreciation for humanity's fighting spirit. "Even if the future is uncertain, even if the entire earth has turned to ruins, humanity's fighting spirit will be reflected in everyone's hearts and become a bridge within each person's soul!"

At this moment, the King of Heroes' comments continued to appear on the screen, and the viewers expressed their opinions one after another.

[Comments]

[Marie Antoinette: This voice... is Jeanne d'Arc! But, I think so; if it's her, she might truly do such a thing!]

[Sieg: Jeanne d'Arc from another world?]

[Waver Velvet: How was this done? Isn't this temple completely closed off? Isn't the connection to the Throne of Heroes completely severed? In that case, how can Jeanne d'Arc's voice be transmitted inside?]

[Merlin: This is the unbreakable bond Fujimaru Ritsuka has formed with the Heroic Spirits along the way!]

[Zhuge Kongming (El-Melloi II): If the voice can be transmitted, can Heroic Spirits be summoned? If they can be summoned, then there is still hope for this battle!]

At this moment, in the Temple of Time, the King of Demons Goetia witnessed this scene and was slightly stunned. Then, his expression turned furious.

"You bunch of Heroic Spirits... Why on earth would you do such a thing!" he roared angrily.

He knew very well that once these Heroic Spirits entered his domain, they would likely become obstacles to him.

Yet, even so, those Heroic Spirits still stood on Chaldea's side without hesitation, which he found incomprehensible.

"What is the meaning of all this?" Goetia's heart was filled with anger and confusion.

But soon, his emotions returned to calm. He smiled coldly, as if he didn't believe he would lose.

"In that case, perish together with humanity in the garbage dump of history!"

His cold words echoed through the temple, as if foreshadowing the brutal battle to come.

However, Goetia's calm was only superficial. In his heart, he was actually shocked by these Heroic Spirits.

But he still firmly believed that he was the ultimate victor.
