Miracles Return Once More

It can be said that every powerful hero is now striving hard.

Hercules stood atop the tower, repeatedly drawing his bowstring and firing arrows that pierced through metal and stone, attempting to halt the behemoth's advance, but the composure he once possessed was gone from his eyes.

Because his Master, Emiya Kiritsugu, had gone alone after giving him the mission to protect the city, he had to act quickly to save them.

Cú Chulainn and Lionheart King, who had previously been enemies, became friends at this moment and partners who could entrust each other with their backs.

"Lancer, can your Gáe Bolg pierce that big guy's heart?"

"Huh? You're kidding, right? Does that guy even have a heart? Even if it had my Gáe Bolg, it'd be nothing more than a toothpick to it, wouldn't it?"

"I understand," Lionheart King raised his sword. "In that case, let's work together to stop it with toothpicks."

"Hey, hey, hey, do you know what you're saying?"

Cú Chulainn was somewhat baffled by this guy's nonsensical remarks, but...

"Isn't this fun? I'll join you!"

"Master! Use Command Seal!"

The two of them made requests to their respective Master without prior arrangement.

Reines, who was watching from afar, and Bazett, who was busy evacuating the crowd, also raised their hands upon hearing the request.

"In the name of the Command Seal, let us achieve victory..."

"Hero."

Looking at the people fighting bravely, Merry let out a relieved sigh.

"What an exhilarating scene! I almost wanted to join in. In that case—you should pull yourself together, reclaim a little of your own light, my... love."

"I really can't do anything with you," Rovey said with a helpless smile as he looked at Merry's delighted expression. Then he looked up at the thunderclouds overhead and slowly extended his palm.

"However, I can't guarantee it will definitely succeed."

"Hehe, it's okay, you just need to give it a try."

As she spoke Merry took light steps and came up behind Rovey. She wore a white dress, and the bright light shone on her face. Her beautiful face smiled at this moment, like a fairy in a myth guiding a hero, waiting for the hero of her heart to appear.

"Then could you lend me some strength, Father?"

Without incantations or any rituals, like a child seeking help from their parents, Rovey simply spoke calmly to the sky, as if talking to himself.

But the next moment, the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly parted, and a dazzling white beam of light descended from the sky, illuminating the location where Rovey was and completely enveloping his body.

"Seriously... even you want to see me show any motivation?"

As the light faded, a magnificent golden robe slowly appeared on Rovey's body.

"Let me make this clear first, this doesn't mean I'm going to come over and help you work overtime right away. I just wanted to stretch my legs a bit after a long time, that's all."

But...

"Thank you, irresponsible father. Although you have caused me a lot of trouble, I also sincerely thank you. It is because of your interference that I have encountered so many people and things, and truly arrived at where I am today."

Actually, I don't dislike you.

As soon as he finished speaking, a magnificent robe, mainly in gold and red, appeared on Rovey's body. A Crown of Thorns also landed on his head without warning, enveloping his head, and a sacred aura emanated from it.

"That's enough, my beloved, the one I've always admired and loved." Merry gently wrapped her arms around his head from behind, whispering softly, "Even though it was just a fleeting moment of glory, it was still a radiant light you created yourself, enough to illuminate everything, a golden dawn, so..."

"Drive away calamity, and let your glory shine again in this gloomy night sky."

"Please allow me to cheer for you in this very moment."

"Let's begin the final celebration."

Chapter 395 The Miracle Returns

As beams of light and feathers fell, the radiance they emitted was like a sun suddenly appearing in the dark night. And after that dazzling beam of light fell, Fuyuki City, which had appeared dark under the cover of thunderclouds, once again shone with bright colors.

Because the light was so dazzling, everyone in the city couldn't help but turn their attention to it.

They stared wide-eyed as they watched this miracle reappear on the world stage.

"Rejoice! Cheer for your return, my most trusted love."

Merry gently wrapped her arms around his neck, her words as soft as a breeze whispering in his ear, "Just as I said, everything that belongs to you will ultimately be yours. No one can take away the glory that is rightfully yours. Though you may sometimes be dim, your light will never fade. Now, at the end of this movement, you have reclaimed your light once more. Now, please let it shine a little brighter."

Encouraged by her words, Rovey slowly extended his hands.

"Once, a king made a wish to God, desiring true wisdom, to foresee the future, to become the most perfect king, and to better rule his country. But because of his choice, those Ten Rings were also forsaken. Now..."

"They have once again been passed on to the right people."

Rovey clenched his fists, and ten magnificent golden rings appeared one after another on his fingers. In the next instant, as he clenched his fists, countless dazzling golden rays rose from the ground beside him, piercing through the thunderclouds in the sky and even the body of the giant bull in the sky. At the same time, several golden phantoms immediately gathered around him.

--

At the same moment, in a spacetime known as the Pure Land of Pure Land, a gigantic figure and all the Demon God Pillars gathered there, creating a scene that could only be described as a chaotic dance of demons.

Putting aside the enormous, majestic, and somewhat holy-looking Demonic Bodhisattva, despite being of the pure and sensual type, appeared strangely holy from this place, the Demon God Pillars themselves looked like a bunch of freshly cut, not-yet-completely-dead squid tentacles thrown into a frying pan. Moreover, these squid tentacles had many large, blood-red eyeballs on them, enough to lower the sanity of ordinary people just by looking at them.

However, in reality, they were all in a state of combat and were not using human bodies to mimic human forms. Therefore, they had no hands or feet and could only twist their huge fleshy pillars to replace their limbs. Moreover, their emotions were once again at an unprecedented high.

Not long ago, they had been driven by love turned to hate and wanted to do something amazing to impress Solomon. However, after the misunderstanding was cleared up, the Demon God Pillars, who had been filled with bitterness and hatred, all turned against him. After learning about Solomon's feelings and his story, these Demon God Pillars, who were heartbroken from being unilaterally abandoned, chose to forgive him. Even after being given their freedom, they still chose to continue serving him.

While others might see these immortal and ridiculously powerful Demon God Pillars as incredibly low-class, being controlled by humans and even enjoying it, they would certainly beat anyone who dared to say such a thing. Demon God Pillars controlled by Servant are indeed low-class, but Solomon is different; they are quite happy to work with such a leader.

Solomon's wish that adults lack communication had made them realize that they could no longer leave their king and had to follow him closely. However, even though they were following him very closely, the king they were supposed to follow still disappeared right under their noses.

This undoubtedly caused the Demon God Pillars great distress.

So after Rovey disappeared, their natural choice was to first follow Goetia to find the guy who had been captured and disgraced the Demon God Pillars, and then form an alliance to search for the great king.

And so, this scene unfolded in that space.

When Goetia led them into Sessyoin Kiara's world, they were surprised to find that no wonder she could control the Demon God Pillars; she was also a Beast, just hidden so well that she hadn't been discovered. Sessyoin Kiara was also startled when she saw Goetia.

Goetia and the demons' original purpose in their expedition was simply to find the Jiepai, but now that they have discovered a beast, he cannot turn a blind eye, whether he is searching for people or acting as a champion of justice. Thus, he leads the Demon God Pillars in a fierce battle in Sessyoin Kiara's world.

The result was obvious: Goetia, possessing the full power of a fully-formed Beast, gave Sessyoin Kiara, who was not yet fully formed, a sound beating. However, because she was in her own world and had an exaggeratedly strong regenerative ability, even he could not easily defeat her. Thus, this protracted and fierce battle has continued until now.

By this time, he had already used the Demon God Pillars to completely destroy Sessyoin Kiara's world.

Even Sessyoin Kiara, who had been arrogant and thought herself invincible, had to show a look of horror and ask a question.

"Shh, can we make peace?"

And Goetia's answer was, naturally.

"Are you kidding me at this moment?"

Faced with such a threat, Goetia certainly couldn't be like some third-rate villains who let Sessyoin Kiara grow unchecked. She had to nip it in the bud to feel at ease. So Goetia's attacks became even more ferocious. However, after a long and fierce battle, the fight, which had been completely one-sided and only needed to kill her a few dozen more times to end, unexpectedly went out of control at the last moment.

Just as Goetia was about to unleash his final punch with his endless demonic energy to utterly obliterate Sessyoin Kiara.

The next instant, the demons behind him seemed to hear a call and began to scream wildly, which startled Goetia, who turned around abruptly to see what was happening.

The truth is quite simple: the reason the demons behind them suddenly shouted was because they had felt the king's call again after so long. After Rovey disappeared again, they were all worried about the king's safety and hated themselves for their negligence. Now, none of them expected that their reunion with the king would come so soon.

The Demon God Pillars that had been attacking alongside Goetia suddenly froze in place. The many demons, unable to suppress their excitement, raised their heads with hundreds of adorable big eyes, like puppies waiting for their master to feed them, eagerly anticipating receiving the king's summons again.

This scene stunned Goetia, who was in the middle of a battle. Looking at the group of demons behind him who became lazy and indifferent at the mere mention of the king, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

"Can't you guys be serious for once? We're in the middle of a battle, and you're just messing around like this. Are you any different from complaining women?"

However, no matter how much he called out, all he received in response were shouts rising and falling.

"Ah, it is the King! He has called my name!"

"Me too! Me too!"

"The king needs my help!"

Goetia originally intended to use the Rejuvenation Roar to bring back the fighting spirit of these listless warriors, reminding them that they were in the middle of a battle, seriously, that being so listless could cause problems. However, with the shouts of Flauros and Barbatos, the entire scene completely spiraled out of control, with every demon chanting the name of Solomon.

Then the summoned Demon God Pillars emitted a dazzling light, its entire body enveloped in the pillar of light. However, this was not the light of evolution, but teleportation, a symbol of being summoned. This scene made the bitter and resentful Goetia completely lose his composure. He stretched out his hand, made a face like Er Kang, and shouted.

"Wait a minute!"

But who would have time to pay attention to him at this time? At least Barbatos and Flauros, the first two summoned, had no interest in bringing Goetia along. Although you are a special being formed by combining the will of all the demons and the remains of Solomon, it doesn't mean that the other demons are Goetia's subordinates. Besides, the king has already returned, so what are you, a crown prince who hasn't ascended the throne, worth?

So the other demon gods all turned to look at Goetia, their dozens of large eyes narrowing into slits, as if mocking Goetia. The meaning was quite clear.

We're leaving now. You little brat, play with this guy by yourself.

This scene, as expected, enraged Goetia. He wished he could unleash his third Noble Phantasm and vaporize these bastards. But it was too late. Their figures vanished into the shattered world in the blink of an eye, leaving only the other Demon God Pillars shaking their heads and sighing like wronged women.

Although the words spoken by each demon may differ, their underlying meanings are generally the same:

[My king, why do you not call me!]

"Huh?"

Seeing this scene unfold before her eyes, Sesshouin, sensing something was off about the Sessyoin Kiara, couldn't help but pause for a moment before seizing the opportunity to slip away.

But the next moment, Goetia's sharp gaze fell on him again.

At that moment, Sessyoin Kiara sensed that something terrible was about to happen.

She realized that these unsummoned demons and Goetia were seething with anger and wanted to unleash it on her.

"Um... please don't hit my face, okay?"

--

"Flauros, Barbatos, Baal, Morax, heed my call!"

As the Ten Commandments flashed, a miracle instantly descended upon Rovey. Under such powerful magic, the Demon God Pillars Squad, who were originally fighting alongside Goetia against the demonic Great Bodhisattva Imperial City of another world and trying to save the Jiepai Sect, were directly summoned here.

This feeling of being filled with power also made Rovey recall his strongest period.

The people on the ground, including Ishtar, hadn't yet recovered from the miracle when they found the ground shaking violently. The terrifying shaking caused Ishtar to fall from the sky.

Upon seeing someone fall from the sky, Rovey raised his hand and manipulated an anti-gravity force to catch them. However, this was just an automatic reaction, so when he saw that it was Ishtar, he immediately let go, allowing her to fall heavily to the ground.

Rovey, ignoring Ishtar's ugly expression, Lovi raised his head and looked again at the Bull of Heaven, whose body had been pierced by several beams of light, leaving many holes. Behind him, several enormous Demon God Pillars stood on the earth, surrounding the area where the Bull of Heaven was located. The sudden appearance of such terrifying magical power startled the other Servant, who all became alert.

When this scene unfolds, if any Servants who participated in the Holy Grail War Servant Solomon are present, they will surely recall the fear of being dominated by the Demon God Pillars. With this scale and this number, what's the point of fighting? Just surrender and consider it a win.

However, compared to this, Kirei Kotomine had completely given up on himself at this moment.

First came the explosion at the Fuyuki City Bridge, then the thunderstorm cloud of the Bull of Heaven, and now several of these thick, large black pillars have appeared. How can this be concealed? Could it still be a natural gas leak?

Suddenly, he wanted to retire quickly and simply let his apprentice take over, so he wouldn't have to worry about it every day and find all sorts of excuses.

"Ah! Our King, your magnificent body! It is so good to see you again!"

"We have been thinking of you every single moment since you went missing!"

"Use our power to the fullest!"

Compared to the others who were wailing and complaining, the summoned Demon God Pillars were deeply moved upon seeing Rovey, and they all cried their hearts out. The sound of weeping was deafening, and because of their enormous bodies and numerous eyes, their weeping actually created a storm, making Fuyuki City even more humid.

Seeing their reaction, Rovey didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly. After all, things had come to this point, and there was nothing he could do. He had explained many times that he wasn't Solomon, but these guys still insisted that he was. So there was nothing he could do but accept that if they thought he was, then so be it.

So he pointed directly at the bull in the sky, which was still furious from being attacked, and then gave his command.

"Take care of it."

"Yes, sir."

As soon as the words were spoken, the Demon God Pillars, who had been crying and wailing, transformed into emotionless killers upon hearing the order, immediately targeting the Bull of Heaven.

Looking at the Demon God Pillars beside him, and then at the even larger Bull of Heaven, he carefully compared them and felt that his firepower was still lacking. So, Rovey simply snapped his fingers again, and the next moment, all the other Demon God Pillars that were still fighting with Goetia were summoned, even the Jiepai who had been imprisoned by Sessyoin Kiara was directly summoned.

In an instant, the Bull of Heaven suddenly noticed that there were seventy-two huge pillars around it, and each of them exuded a very dangerous aura, which made it panic.

"Hey? What is this? Cheating! You're cheating!"

Not only the Bull of Heaven, but even Ishtar, who had fallen to the ground, looked at the severely injured Bull of Heaven and exclaimed in disbelief.

She couldn't help but shout.

"That's the Bull of Heaven!"

This was the divine beast that had given Gilgamesh and Enkidu quite a hard time back then, but now it was injured like this by a mere wave of light from Rovey, and there were seventy-two menacing Demon God Pillars watching it from all sides.

At this moment, Ishtar regretted summoning this behemoth, but she couldn't take it back. Although she would like it to be stopped if she could, it wouldn't be stopped so easily as it was now. In fact, when she released it, she knew she had caused a huge disaster again, and she wished someone could stop this behemoth.

While it would be difficult for a single individual to accomplish, it is possible if these Servant come together.

And she kept reassuring herself that this time it would be alright; she knew they would be stopped anyway, and they wouldn't go to the point of annihilating humanity. Besides, even as a goddess, she had been bullied like this; it was only natural for her to release this person to get revenge and let the heroes appease her upon her return, right?

You can always apologize later.
