Chapter 372

'Sigh... never mind...'

Li Pu sighed inwardly. What else could she do?

"If you're willing." Li Pu resigned herself to the fact that correcting her was pointless. Besides, she had promised to teach Sakura these things, so this was the only option.

"It's not that you can't call me that."

"Mom!" As soon as Li Pu said this, Sakura rushed over and threw herself into her arms, hugging her tightly.

"Mother!"

She has lost it for too long.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Making a Big Mistake

--------------------segmentation--------------------

Caster is about to make his move.

But at that moment, he encountered an uninvited guest.

"Oh my god~ Oh my god~ Isn't this the great general of the Kingdom of Fa? He's actually tinkering with this kind of thing in a place like this."

Dressed in all black with a stern expression, Kirei Kotobukiya encountered the Caster duo, Gilles de Rais and their Master Ryunosuke, temporarily residing in a dilapidated bar that had been abandoned but not yet demolished.

"Who are you, sir?" Ryunosuke seemed to dislike the man's appearance, a cruel smile on his face.

Holding a scalpel, he slowly approached Kirei Kotomine.

All the hard work I'd been putting in recently was ruined by a strange little girl! Even worse, her actions forced me and my partner to move again. That's so cool!

Not cool at all! This middle-aged man's random appearance here is not cool at all!

"Are you a clergyman?" Caster recognized the man's profession at a glance; his black clothes and cross were quite conspicuous. Caster said with disgust, "Disgusting, hypocritical lackey of God. Did God send you here? Is she trying to use you to demonstrate her hypocritical kindness? I've had enough of God's lies."

"Don't be in such a hurry." Kirei Kotomine, realizing he seemed to have been misunderstood, clutched the cross on his chest and said, "It wasn't the Goddess of Fate who guided me here."

"To be honest, it's more accurate to say that people don't have a choice because of their birth. If your father is a priest, you can only inherit his profession and become a priest yourself. If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to inherit this profession."

"Furthermore," Kirei Kotomine, looking at Caster, "Your behavior has been far too high-profile, causing so many cases. It's hard for the Church not to notice you."

Kirei Kotomine's words and attitude seemed to have piqued Caster's interest a little.

He gestured to Ryunosuke to stop for a moment and then asked, "It seems we have something in common. So what brings you here?"

"Now that we have something in common," Kirei Kotomine said, a look of genuine pleasure on his face for the first time. "Then you must know very well what I want to do, right?"

"You hate God, and I hate God too. You want to defeat God, and I want to watch her fall and be humiliated."

"So, does this mean there's a possibility of cooperation between us?"

At this moment, Li Pu was unaware of the plan specifically targeting her. But she would soon find out.

"Use your chest to project your voice!" At the Matou Family, Li Pu was teaching Sakura to sing. This was the first step in using Divine Art. A key characteristic of God Race magic was that it was tied to the rhythm of sound.

The drawbacks of this kind of spell built on rhythm are obvious: long casting time and casting process, although the God Race have also made optimizations to address these shortcomings.

However, in general, large-scale Divine Art still require a relatively long casting time.

However, its advantages are also obvious. Compared with Magecraft built by humans, it has a wider range of influence, more variations and characteristics, and its attack effects and range are overwhelming.

As for learning it...

Singing is the foundation of God; all Gods can sing.

However, for humans, singing, besides practice, sometimes really does depend on talent. Sakura isn't exactly tone-deaf, but without professional training, she clearly doesn't meet the standards for using Divine Art.

Therefore, learning to sing is the first step.

Li Pu hadn't been teaching for very long when she heard a voice she didn't really want to hear.

"Hold me! Hurry up and hold me!"

A certain orange cat! Li Pu really didn't expect that cat to appear here.

"I've been looking for you everywhere, but I never expected to find you here teaching human female cubs to meow like this." The orange cat seemed very unhappy and said, "Hold me! I have something very important to tell you!"

Orange Cat's words immediately made Li Pu's head spin.

"It's a cat!" Sakura, who was standing nearby, was immediately drawn to the orange cat's meow. Although she couldn't understand its voice, Sakura thought it was just a cute meow!

But to Li Pu, this was anything but cute!

"It's a cat." Li Pu suppressed her displeasure and turned around to say, "Do you have something important to tell me?"

"Can Goddess Sister understand what cats say?" Sakura looked at Li Pu with eyes full of longing and asked, "Can Sakura talk to cats like Goddess Sister?"

"If you could understand it, I'm sure you wouldn't want to understand what it's yelling about." Li Pu didn't want to discourage Sakura.

But animals are really...

For animals, politeness is simply not a concept.

"If your message isn't important, I'll turn you into a mouse!" Li Pu threatened as he picked up the orange cat and petted it a couple of times.

Whether Li Pu's threat was important or not was irrelevant to the orange cat; what mattered was hugging and petting it. The orange cat, thoroughly enjoying itself, said, "Oh, right! Perfect! That human male with hair like a hedgehog sent me over to say the prey has appeared!"

Hedgehog-like hair? Human male?

It seems that there is only one person who possesses both of these characteristics.

"Kiritsugu?" Li Pu said in even greater surprise, "He actually knew he could send you?"

Where is it?

This "prey" must refer to Caster, right? In the current situation, Caster is an enemy that must be eliminated. Because of himself and Saber, he and Caster have entered into a life-or-death struggle.

So it should be talking about Caster, right?

Where would it be?

"The hedgehog-headed guy said you'll know once you fly," said the orange cat. "I don't know the specifics either... Ah! Don't stop! Continue!"

As he was speaking, Li Pu noticed thunder coming from the sky.

This wasn't naturally occurring thunder! It looks like a fight has already broken out! Li Pu put down the orange cat and looked in that direction. The lightning there was so intense that even the ominous, dark, purplish-red clouds in the sky were clearly visible.

"Is Goddess Sister going?" Sakura also noticed the situation over there.

She didn't know if she was worried about the Goddess's safety or simply possessive; she was always afraid that the goddess would never return.

"Mm," Li Pu replied.

"Is it okay if I don't go?" Sakura asked timidly.

"Probably," Li Pu said uncertainly, "But if we let it develop unchecked, many, many people could die!"

It's not entirely certain whether an anomaly will occur. In the original story, Saber's Curry Cannon resolved the situation, but Li Pu isn't sure if the same will happen here. Due to the system's existence and the butterfly effect brought about by the transmigrator, the sea monster is highly likely to be strengthened.

If I don't go, the consequences could very well be disastrous.

"I am Goddess, and Goddess cannot stand idly by," Li Pu said. "Since I have descended here, I have a duty to protect this area."

Is there no problem saying that?

"Will the Goddess sister come back?" Sakura asked, seemingly understanding something.

"Yes!" Li Pu said. "I promise."

After saying that, Sakura watched as Li Pu flew away. Although there was a guarantee, Sakura still felt that her Goddess might never return.

"We must win, Goddess Sister," Sakura prayed silently.

Just like Kiritsugu said, once you fly up there, you'll know what's going on. A leap into the river! From the river mouth to the city, everything was shrouded in a purple mist! In the river, a gigantic octopus was waving its tentacles wildly.

'Has the war already begun?' Li Pu felt a sense of relief.

This must be because Lancer broke the yellow spear, and the curse was lifted!

The next second, as if to confirm Li Pu's suspicions, a golden light rose from the river and enveloped the entire giant octopus. It was the Curry Cannon! It was Saber unleashing her Noble Phantasm!

Has it been resolved?

Li Pu kept an eye on the situation on the river.

It seems not. When the golden light dissipated, the purple mist in the river didn't recede; instead, it seemed to spread to both sides. And the giant octopus not only didn't die, it grew even larger!

If he previously looked like a sesame seed in a purple mist...

Now, the octopus was like a giant in the purple mist, its entire body occupying the river and spreading to both sides. As the purple mist spread to both sides of the river, buildings began to catch fire and collapse, and more casualties began to occur among the terrified people who were fleeing.

Everything seemed to have turned into a disaster.

And its body was still growing rapidly! It quickly spread from the original river channel to both banks, with countless tentacles reaching out from underground, either destroying buildings or sweeping up crowds.

This...

Sure enough! This is a plot point that wasn't in the original story!

It seemed he had no choice but to step in himself, but what could he possibly do at this level? Li Pu was genuinely unsure.

'Berserker...' Li Pu initially wanted to order the Berserkers to protect them first, while he himself would try to find a way to directly attack Caster, who was in the core position. But seeing the situation, he realized he needed their help.

Currently, my strongest attack is the Curry Cannon.

In other worlds, this thing is very useful, it never fails, and it kills instantly if it hits.

But it's really hard to say here.

Li Pu quickly noticed Saber and his wife evacuating from the riverbank.

She landed there quickly.

"Foreigner, you've come at just the right time." Saber seemed relieved to see Li Pu land in front of them. "That's a monster summoned by Caster. Do you have a way to defeat it?"

"Goddess of Fate." Before Li Pu could even speak, he saw the King of Conquerors drive his oxcart down in front of him.

"It seems our attacks have run out of steam; Saber's attack just now didn't even cause any serious damage."

"Now it seems we can only rely on you, my queen. Unleash your full power and unleash your strongest attack."

'Huh? What?' Li Pu felt like she was being put on a pedestal and couldn't get down. Could she say she didn't know how to break the seal? Could she say that even Saber's Curry Cannon was useless and she had no way to break it in one hit?

"What happened?" Li Pu could only change the subject, saying, "Why is it so big?"

She knew this thing was pretty big, but she just couldn't understand why it was so big.

Can anyone answer this?

"My Goddess! Please hear my wish." No one answered her. All Li Pu heard was Kiritsugu seemed to have crawled up from somewhere, suddenly standing in the distance and shouting to her, "My wish is for you to break your seal, use your strongest power to defeat the monster summoned by Caster, and save those innocent people!"

Li Pu was stunned; she was truly stunned this time.

She never expected that Kiritsugu would use his wish in this place.

There's something she didn't say: Kiritsugu's wish doesn't require a price. Because although the form is different, she was indeed summoned by 'Kiritsugu'. She only told him that way because she didn't want him to make some kind of wish like Kiritsugu 'Li Pu.

I didn't expect Kiritsugu to learn so quickly; he already knows how to make a wish so fast!

He actually made a wish here!

High in the sky, Archer above Vimana noticed that a beautiful light was emanating from the place by the river that was about to be shrouded in mist! It seemed that the Goddess was about to release her seal.

'This is truly fascinating! Let me witness your greatest power!'

Golden Flash watched the situation over there with great pleasure.

Standing atop Vimana, Tohsaka Tokiomi noticed the situation and realized he had seemingly made a mistake! The strongest Servant in this Holy Grail War shouldn't be Archer, but rather that Goddess!

She is a true Goddess! Completely different from what I had imagined, she has truly descended into this world!

Tohsaka Tokiomi could fully feel the immense, ocean-like power surging forth from the Goddess, exerting absolute suppression on everyone present! Her power was omnipresent, like air, leaving no way to resist, and suppressing everyone to the point of not even having a chance to breathe.

The light over there grew brighter and brighter, and the seven-colored light quickly dispelled the mist brought by the monster, completely exposing the monster's figure.

The Goddess's figure rose from the ground into the sky like a new star.

Is this the power of Goddess?

I miscalculated!
