Chapter 492: The Fury of Avisbron
[Why did you do this, Shuoyue]
[Avisbron, you are talking to me, what's the matter?]
[... Can't you hear the anger in my words? I am accusing you, accusing you of why you led Adam's glory, but sent him to hell without mercy! ]
[I have spared his life and sent him to the Sky Garden, haven't I? ]
[But that was after you destroyed him with your own hands! ]
[With your magic puppet attainments, it is easy to hide from the Queen's sight and revive Adam. Using the mystery of the Sky Garden, the second appearance of the giant will surely surprise everyone. ]
[...]
[Heh, refuse with silence? But it doesn't matter, Avisbron, if you want to fulfill your ideal, you only have this way left. After all, the chains that bind you have fallen into my hands - that's it. 】
The conversation was cut off by the other party, and Avisbron sat in silence in the room, his palms clenched in anger, and then loosened powerlessly.
Shuoyue was right, he only had this one way to choose. Once he did something unnecessary, even if the young man would not kill him, he would use the command seal to make him helpless.
——It was just like the disease that was entangled in front of him, the suffering people, and the things that forced him to do nothing countless times.
He should have been used to it, he should have turned a blind eye to such suffering... But even so, after touching his dream, Avisbron lost that caution and calmness.
He could have endured the darkness, but God gave him a ray of light, and then cruelly took it away.
So, what about next time? What about the next time? What about the next time?
His treasure, his dream will be trampled on again, and then he will hold the remains of Adam and pray for the charity of "God" again?
No, it's impossible, absolutely impossible!
Those who destroyed my dream and treated my dream as a piece of trash must be punished!
With a burning desire to resist, Avisbron knelt on the ground and used a sophisticated spell to cover the fragments of the giant Adam. His face under the golden mask was deeply distorted, but his hands were so steady that it was frightening.
He would never allow himself to fall before seeing his enemy suffer.
————
At this time, the new moon did not know that Avisbron was already full of anger towards him because of the giant Adam. He opened his eyes after finishing his speech, just as the black party's meeting entered the next stage.
Chiron had finished telling what happened in the courtyard. Except for the servants who witnessed those scenes with their own eyes, everyone showed a stunned expression. It would probably take a long time to break such silence.
Although the Mirenia Fortress was in a semi-collapsed state, the number of rooms was still quite sufficient. The place where all the members were gathered now was the meeting room for the relatives. Although the chair was knocked down by the impact and the chandelier fell to the ground and shattered, Fiore immediately repaired it with the help of Sakutsuki.
"The other judge is Shiro Tokisada Amakusa... right?"
Fiore finally squeezed out a little voice. Her voice was originally very delicate, and her voice just now was inaudible. But perhaps because the room was completely silent, her words could be clearly heard by everyone present.
"Shiro Amakusa is a saint in the Far East. Archer, can you explain it? Because I don't know much about it."
At Fiore's request, Chiron said:
"Shiro Amakusa is a young man who was the mastermind of a large-scale rebellion in a region called Shimabara about five hundred years ago."
"Young man?"
"Yes, after all, he was seventeen years old."
Hearing the age of seventeen, the masters were immediately shocked. They didn't expect that there would be such a young heroic spirit.
The Centaur Sage briefly introduced the history of Shiro Amakusa to everyone.
He did not achieve any brilliant results. Although it was a large-scale rebellion, Japan was already in an era where fierce wars broke out among multiple countries for hegemony.
Amakusa Shiro was born after the war finally subsided and Japan was just unified into one country.
The annual tribute was much heavier than usual, the poor harvest caused by bad weather, and the rejection of pagans who were not recognized in Japan - at the worst moment when these problems overlapped, the fire of rebellion was ignited.
The rebellion of Shimabara can be regarded as the largest peasant uprising in the history of the island country. The total number of people was 37,000, and it is said that about 20,000 of them were non-combatants.
"And the one who led them at that time was Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who was hailed as the savior."
Originally just an ordinary boy of 16 years old, he has achieved many miracles since he was born. He healed the eyes of a blind girl and walked on the water - he believed in God and gradually expanded the scope of his faith.
When the multiple rebellions that broke out in various places were unified into one, it was normal for Amakusa Shiro to be elected as the leader. Because they believed in that boy as if they were believing in God.
"But their attack soon stopped."
They held on to Shimabara Castle, but eventually fell due to a shortage of food and grass. All 37,000 people, except for the only spy, were liquidated and massacred.
Neither a hero nor a saint. He clearly has the power to create miracles. In the end, he couldn't save even one person, and the young man died with hatred.
"... Judging from these experiences alone, he doesn't seem to be a terrible Servant."
"That's true. In terms of pure strength, he is probably far behind us as heroes... but it is precisely because of this that I find him scary."
Chiron couldn't help but recall the scene when Amakusa faced the followers in the chapel and revealed his true identity without hesitation. In a situation where all the followers would regard him as hostile if he made the slightest mistake, he did not waver at all - he even kept a smile on his face.
It was an unbelievable amount of pressure. What strength did that young man have in his body that could support him to stand upright?
"Indeed, I also... think he is very scary. It's not his strength or skills, it's just his belief that makes people feel extremely scary."
Jeanne couldn't help but think of the conversation between her and Amakusa after the followers left.
It is not simply strong, it is simply a black hole celestial body with ultimate density and mass. It is a monster that can involve all humans and heroic spirits with just its belief.
He's not crazy. It is impossible to have such a strong belief if you are just crazy.
Thirty-seven thousand believers who worshiped him as a god were killed in front of him. As such a guide, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada - what did he see, what he felt, and what oath he made on that battlefield? Woolen cloth.
Neither Joan of Arc and Astolfo, who have personally experienced war-torn history, nor Chiron, who lives in a mythical age where many heroes emerged, do not know the answer to this question.
"...Anyway, let's put that issue aside for now. The key to the problem lies in his conspiracy."
The insiders looked at each other and jointly told Amakusa's plan:
"Human Relief."
"You said it was relief? It's a shame he dared to say such a stupid thing——"
Seeing Gold's dismissive and mocking attitude, Mordred sighed:
"You are the one who is stupid, fat man. The thing that can easily realize this stupid and absurd wish is the Holy Grail."
"Varied……!!"
Fiore comforted the indignant Gold and retorted:
"But what my uncle said is right. The Great Holy Grail is, to put it bluntly, just a condensation of magic power. It can indeed omit all kinds of theories and processes and only bring results to people. But on the contrary Come and say, it must have a process that can be omitted in order to realize the wish.”
"You mean, even if he makes a wish and says he wants to save mankind, it's meaningless?" Sieg seemed to realize something. "If the person who makes the wish doesn't have any means in mind, he can only stay at this step. Since the direction Without sex being determined, desire cannot go anywhere.”
The Holy Grail cannot handle such a vague concept, especially a large and broad problem like 'rescuing mankind'.
But just when everyone was relaxing slightly, Shuo Yue said abruptly:
"In this case, what if Amakusa knows a certain method? Regardless of whether it is a real relief."
Hearing Shuo Yue ask this question, Jeanne took a breath as if she didn't expect it at all.
"In that case... I think it should be implemented."
"Amakusa Shiro knows the possibility of saving humanity?"
"No, that's not the case." Chiron frowned, also aware of the seriousness of the problem, "The problem is, if the method itself is a disaster for humans..."
"That, that is to say..."
"In other words, if someone wants to become the world's best magician." Shishi Jie said, "If his wish is to kill all magicians except himself, the Holy Grail will also realize it. ?"
"What?!"
"Theoretically speaking, this is indeed the case." Joan's affirmative words made everyone fall into silence. At this time, Sieg suddenly remembered something.
"Ruler, regarding the reason why you were summoned——"
That's right. The conditions for the Judge to be summoned are when the Holy Grail War may lead to a crisis in the world. Amakusa took away the Great Holy Grail with the desire to save all mankind - so his rescue method may be the crisis facing the world.
"...Probably, that's it." Hearing this, Jeanne turned away her eyes with some guilt, and furtively looked at Shuo Yue, who was sleeping with her eyes closed.
In fact, Amakusa's anomaly was discovered after she climbed into the garden. Before that, the revelation had only told her that the young man in front of her was crucial.
But Miss Saint still doesn't quite understand the meaning of the revelation.
"Then, in order to prevent this from happening, let's consider what we should do next."
——So, the members of the black team cheered up and began to discuss the next actions. Although Karna, Achilles and Atalanta refused to help, the red team had lost their defensive strength. A fatal blow, which also brings great convenience to Black's actions.
In the end, everyone determined that whether it was by plane or something else, they had to find a way to fly in the air - and then catch up to the aerial garden.
The specific details will be discussed later, because now, whether it is Fiore, who represents Yugdomirenia, the free mercenary Lion Jie, or the android girl Sieg, they all need to rest to wash away the fatigue of the night, and then cheer up to deal with the troubles that come one after another.
Even if Shuoyue, who made a lot of money in this battle, has to deal with the affairs of the blue side before the next final battle - if they want to defeat the red and black sides, the forces at hand are still not enough.
So, everyone walked back to the room with sleepy steps, drew the curtains, and fell into a deep sleep in the artificial night without fighting and noise.
