Chapter 199 The Temporary Ceasefire Between Red and Black, Capturing a Desired Target
"So that's how it is? I never expected something like this to happen in this Holy Grail War."
After hearing Chiron's reply and conjecture, Fiore, as his Master, couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, the Servants who were fighting in the Hanging Gardens had all returned to the ground and were temporarily staying in the castle of the Yggdrasil family.
This was also to repay Achilles' kindness.
After all, they were all pulled down by Achilles' chariot.
So Fiore kept the others behind.
Of course, Chiron's connections were also indispensable in this process.
It was precisely because of the relationship between Chiron and Achilles that the Red Team's Servants were willing to stay.
To show that they had no other intentions, Fiore gave one side of the Yggdrasil Castle to the Red Team's Servants, allowing them to settle there.
At this time, the leader of the Red Team had changed from Amakusa Shiro Tokisada to Shishikai Kairi, who had just been brought by Mordred.
After all, he was now the only Master in the Red faction who was still conscious.
Looking at his five colleagues, Shiki Jieli finally understood the whole story.
This caused him considerable distress.
At this point, Red's Master was the only one still conscious, and he had only three Servants remaining.
Since they had just met and were still unaware of Karna and Achilles' strength, Shiki-kai Kairi was naturally worried about the outcome of the upcoming battle.
And their safety at present.
Although the black side's attitude puzzled him, it at least relieved him.
The opponent showed no intention of pressing their advantage.
After taking some simple precautions, he quickly informed the Clock Tower about what had happened.
So the clock tower also started having a headache.
As for why Black didn't press his advantage?
This is, of course, because they also suffered heavy losses on their side!
At this point, the Black faction only had Siegfried, Chiron, and Avisbro remaining as Servants, as well as the mysterious Assassin and the other powerful Servant he summoned.
But they simply don't listen to the Black team's commands.
But more importantly, there was Danic's disappearance.
Danic has disappeared.
This was a major event that shook the entire Black faction.
After all, Danic was the true commander of the Black team.
He was also the mastermind behind the rebellion launched by the Thousand World Tree.
If he dies, what will become of the Black team next?
Fiore was confused.
So she found her uncle, who was Gordes, a clone of Shirou Kotomine.
He was now the only elder among the remaining Masters of the Yggdrasil family.
He is also Saber's Master.
Therefore, Gold's status rose sharply at this time.
Even if Fiore is actually the next patriarch recognized by Danic.
But at times like this, the inexperienced Fiore is simply unable to make a decision.
She had no choice but to seek help from her uncle.
"Danick has disappeared? I remember he was brought back from the Sky Garden."
The Gold that Shirou Kotomine was impersonating couldn't help but frown.
Although he actually knew everything, this was also the result he brought about.
"Danick was brought back by Caster, but after returning, he and Danick disappeared together."
Karon explained.
As the Hanging Gardens were about to collapse, and the Red Team's Servants went to rescue their Master, the Black Team's Servants also rescued their Master, Darnic.
At that time, his hands and feet were crippled, and he had lost consciousness.
Avisbro was the first to find him.
Then Avisbro used magic to lift him up and bring him back to the ground with them.
At that time, Chiron and Siegfried were both eager to return and report the situation to their Master.
So Avisbro volunteered to settle Danic.
But at this moment, he and Danic disappeared together, along with his Master.
"If that's the case, then Danik should already be dead."
Gold said seriously.
"Huh? Why did Avisbro do that?"
Fiona, who instantly understood Shirou Kotomine's meaning, asked in surprise.
"This is because of Avisbro's Noble Phantasm."
Kotomine Shirou explained.
"Avisbro's Noble Phantasm requires a suitable magician as its core to be activated, and the more outstanding the magician, the more powerful the Noble Phantasm will be."
"We initially planned to select from among the androids, choosing the best one to be the core, but the best one escaped."
"Is that the android who escaped? No wonder there was such a commotion back then."
Fiore suddenly realized.
Although she knew that a homunculus had escaped, she did not expect that it was related to Avisbro's Noble Phantasm.
But it's normal that she didn't know.
After all, after defeating the red side, all the black side's Servants are enemies to each other.
Therefore, although they exchange servant names with each other, they do not reveal important information such as inherent skills and Noble Phantasm details to others.
Some don't even mention the servant's name.
For example, Gold before.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as Astolfo.
His reason evaporated, and he couldn't control his mouth at all.
He is probably the only one who would willingly reveal his inherent skills and Noble Phantasms.
Therefore, only three people in the Black faction know about Avisbro's Noble Phantasm ability.
That is, Roger, the Master of Danic, Gold, and Avisbronn.
The reason Danic knew this was because Avisbro was one of the first Servants summoned.
He is a Servant specifically summoned by Danic.
After all, it would be incredibly difficult to fight against the entire magic world with the power of a single clan.
Avisbro's golem-making techniques are what Danic needs.
With the golem army created by Avisbro, Darnic's long-cherished wish will be fulfilled more easily.
That's why Avisbro chose Roger, the youngest of Avisbro's Masters.
This makes it easier for him to control.
That's why he knew about Avisbro's abilities.
As for how Gold would find out, that's even simpler.
Because those androids were created by him.
These androids were almost all unable to meet Avisbro's requirements, so Gord needed to continue to refine their magic circuits.
That's how Gold found out.
As for Kotomine Shirou?
He naturally knew it from watching anime.
In short, only a few members of the entire Yggdrasil family knew about Avisbro's Noble Phantasm.
Since others didn't know, they naturally couldn't possibly guess why Avisbro would harm Danic.
"Avisbro must have seen his and Black's defeat from the previous battles, so he decided to betray Black and act only for himself from now on."
"So he took Danic with him. After all, if we're talking about who in the Yggdrasil family has the best magic circuits, Danic is definitely a contender!"
"Avisbro is probably planning to use Darnic as the core to create his own Noble Phantasm."
"Wait a minute, isn't this a contradiction?"
"I can't believe it," Corles asked, who had come with Fiore.
"As Servants' trump card, shouldn't their Noble Phantasms be their ultimate killing move?"
"Who would betray their own group and act as a third party to annihilate two other groups simply because they've already witnessed the group's decline?"
Koles felt somewhat confused.
After all, since Avisbron has pinned all his hopes on his Noble Phantasm, he must want to win.
But after betraying the Black side, he will have to face both the Black and Red sides simultaneously.
Isn't this just courting death?
"No, Avisbro shouldn't be playing this game!"
Fiona refuted Corles's statement.
"Considering the special nature of Servant Noble Phantasms, Avisbro's Noble Phantasm is very likely a famous subject that he did not achieve in his lifetime, which is why activating the Noble Phantasm requires additional sacrifices."
Fiore speculated.
The reason she thought this way was because of the inspiration she received from Semiramis's information.
After a brief truce with the Red team, she also learned of Semiramis's existence.
And her identity as the owner of the Sky Garden.
However, in reality, Semiramis was not the true owner of the Hanging Gardens, one of the wonders of the world, in actual history.
However, in many places, there are rumors that Semiramis was the true owner of the Hanging Gardens.
Therefore, this hanging garden became her treasure.
However, since she never actually possessed a hanging garden in history, her hanging garden was something she had to create herself.
Therefore, Semiramis's Hanging Gardens did not disappear after her death.
Instead, it disintegrated in mid-air.
It was precisely because Fiore knew this information that she came up with this idea.
After all, Avisbro is a magician.
Therefore, if she thinks about this matter using a magician's mindset, she can quickly arrive at the answer.
"That's right, exactly!"
Kotomine Shirou nodded.
Avisbro wanted to create the original humans.
But he did not complete this great task during his lifetime.
Therefore, even after he became a Servant, and the Creator became his Noble Phantasm, he still needed to supplement other abilities.
This requires a core component.
Kotomine Shirou knew this all too well.
Even when Avisbro took Danic and his Master Roger away, Kotomine Shirou was watching him.
Kotomine Shirou made no attempt to stop Avisbro.
Even though his Noble Phantasm is extremely dangerous.
Even if someone is needed to act as a sacrifice.
But Shirou Kotomine didn't care at all.
Danic was a man who deserved to die, and it was perfect for him to be used as a sacrifice by Avisbro.
This way, Avisbron wouldn't need to use his Master as a sacrifice.
As for Avisbro's Noble Phantasm being dangerous?
Kotomine Shirou was well aware of this as well.
But danger is also a synonym for preciousness in a certain sense.
That's right, Avisbro's Noble Phantasm is very precious, and in Kotomine Shirou's eyes, it is much more precious than himself.
Once Avisbro has completed his Noble Phantasm, he will be able to summon a 15-meter-tall stone giant-like being, "the Primordial One."
At this time, the original being was at its weakest.
As long as this primordial being stands on the ground, the surrounding environment will be forcibly transformed into a unique barrier called "Paradise".
As long as he stands in the paradise, he will receive an endless supply of magic.
Having received the blessing of the earth, he will not be destroyed as long as he remains on the ground.
As time goes by, his strength and physique may even evolve.
Although it was only 15 meters tall at first, its size doubled every hour until it grew to be 1,000 meters tall.
At that time, even an army of top-tier Servants would find it difficult to defeat.
And more importantly, it operates independently.
Even if its owner, Avisbro, dies, it will still exist in the world.
And as long as he continues to grow, eventually the whole world will be transformed into a paradise by him.
That's what makes him so terrifying.
Therefore, in the original trajectory, upon seeing its arrival, Jeanne d'Arc did not hesitate to use Command Spells to order both the Red and Black factions to destroy it together.
If it is allowed to grow unchecked, it will be an extremely terrifying thing.
However, although it was incredibly dangerous and terrifying in Jeanne d'Arc's eyes, it was an extremely precious treasure in Kotomine Shirou's eyes.
Its abilities are something that Kotomine Shirou really likes.
That's why Shirou Kotomine facilitated its creation.
Then they captured him.
"It's here!"
He stood up and walked to the window, gazing at the distant scene through the simulated magic eye.
At this moment, Avisbro's Noble Phantasm has been activated.
The primordial giant, standing fifteen meters tall, had already taken up a position on the earth.
"My task is complete; now it's the main body's turn to reap the rewards."
Kotomine Shirou, disguised as Gold, chuckled to himself.
"Oh, it's already finished? Avisbro is certainly quick on the uptake!"
In the sky, Shirou Kotomine, who had escaped from the Hanging Gardens, was riding on the back of a hawk.
A slight smile appeared on his lips as he peered at the situation in Avisbro through the simulated magic eye.
Everything was within his calculations.
He deliberately left Danick behind.
Otherwise, Shirou Kotomine would have had countless opportunities to kill Danic.
Otherwise, why only cut off his arm?
And why didn't they eliminate Vlad III after killing him?
This is all for this moment.
As the saying goes, evil people will always be punished by other evil people.
This was the moment that Kotomine Shirou had been waiting for.
"What's wrong, Shirou?"
Seeing the smile on Shirou Kotomine's face, Jeanne d'Arc, sitting in front of him, asked curiously.
"I'm about to gain another great general!"
Kotomine Shirou explained with a smile.
The next moment, Shirou Kotomine rode his hawk toward the location of Avisbro.
"Finally finished!"
"My Noble Phantasm, 'Crown of Wisdom'!"
"My long-cherished wish has finally come true!"
Gazing at the giant before him, Avisbro opened his arms in excitement, tears streaming down his face.
The long-cherished wish that could not be fulfilled in life was given the opportunity in death.
How could this not make Avisbro ecstatic?
But this joy did not last long.
A beam of light descended from the sky with overwhelming force, piercing Avisbro's heart.
Then the two figures fell from the sky.
"Now that your long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, you can leave in peace!"
"As for your masterpiece, leave it to me!"
Looking at the giant before him, Shirou Kotomine clapped his hands slightly.
"The domain expands, and all spirits rule the vast world!"
