Fairy Marrow Sword / The First Holy Sword Wielder
"Excellent! You have a great ambition. I bestow upon you the title of Heavenly Wheel Saint King and pardon you... for the sin of killing."
After the World-Honored One spoke Liaochen's figure vanished without a trace, while the enormous halo behind him shot straight into the sky.
In the Inner Sea of Stars, within Avalon, Liaochen opened his eyes. He sensed something crossing time and space to arrive there.
"Boom!"
Layers of the earth's crust were shattered, and a gigantic halo of light descended behind Liaochen.
The slightest movement of the pointer on it possesses boundless power; that is the Noble Phantasm bestowed upon him by the World-Honored One Honored One— the Heavenly Wheel Saint King.
"The Buddha Sees Three Thousand Breaks, thus saving sentient beings and eradicating their sins."
With a single thought, all laws are transformed; the world changes color, time flows backward, and ten thousand years pass in the blink of an eye.
Morgan and Artoria were both astonished by the Noble Phantasm before them. Could this... truly be described with the word "Noble Phantasm"?
This is something that is in no way inferior to any Magic.
As time flowed backward, they also realized that the battlefield was coming, and the six Paradise Fae were definitely not easy to deal with.
Chapter 271 Fae Spinal Sword
Time travel isn't that hard to understand, especially since Morgan himself could use Magecraft like the "Water Mirror" to send someone back two thousand years.
However, the time span of over ten thousand years requires unimaginable Mana, and the task of facing six Paradise Fae and defeating the vanguard of that Velber...
"It's not that difficult."
Two Paradise Fae poised to attack, facing off against Liaochen wielding the Heavenly Wheel Saint King, and ambushing six procrastinating Fairy who were sleeping—this was hardly a difficult task.
"Morgan, let's get started."
If it weren't for the need to spare these guys' lives to forge the Holy Sword of Stars, Liaochen would have shown them what it meant to be a Heavenly Wheel Saint King personally taught by the World-Honored One Honored One.
"Wait, you can't treat us like this!"
"We are Paradise Fae, we have done great things for Earth, I have shed blood for Earth, I want to see Gaia."
"You young people shouldn't be so uncivilized, trying to cheat and ambush us old comrades."
Damn, this is so annoying.
Faced with these desperate, life-or-death Paradise Fae, Liaochen was simply powerless. Otherwise, wouldn't it have been wonderful to just rip their heads out and make them into Fae Spinal Sword?
This is much better than any Holy Sword of Stars.
Regardless of the wails of the Paradise Fae, not a single person present showed any compassion. Even the kind- Artoria understood that these six were the root of all evil.
If they died and forged the Holy Sword of Stars, they could be considered heroes, but their unwillingness to die is truly perplexing.
Fortunately Liaochen said, "If it's too difficult, don't do it; just shut it up."
Morgan has already begun forging the Holy Sword of Stars, but the biggest problem now is finding Holy Sword User.
"It's decided, Artoria, you will be the Holy Sword User."
Liaochen patted Artoria on the shoulder, clearly entrusting this important task to the girl before him. Morgan would be in charge of forging, while Artoria would use it. This was a perfect plan where neither of them would die.
Only by directly defeating the Harvest Star Vanguard can history be completely rewritten.
"This... am I capable?"
Artoria had some doubts, after all, wielding the Holy Sword of Stars was not something anyone could do, but she also understood that there was simply not enough time to find the original Holy Sword User at this point.
The Gods on Earth are now almost completely overwhelmed by the Harvest Star Vanguard, which is essentially being held up by the Machine God of the Greek Pantheon. It wouldn't be surprising if they were to lose at any moment.
"Yes, you absolutely can."
Liaochen understood that all the tragedies of later generations stemmed from these few inhuman Paradise Fae.
If it weren't for their greed and selfishness, even if the Lostbelt were cut, they wouldn't have led to such a tragic future. If we really trace it back to the source, the Harvest Star Vanguard was the fuse that ignited everything.
Even though the Harvest Star Vanguard at this moment is not her true form, but merely a Projection, and her true form is trapped on the moon, just a Doppelganger is enough to take down Earth.
However, it was precisely because it was only a Doppelganger that the Holy Sword of Stars had the opportunity to strike it down.
"In the Pan-Human History, you were indeed the wielder of the Holy Sword of Stars. Believe in yourself, you can definitely do it."
"I'll try."
Artoria watched Morgan still forging the Holy Sword of Stars; if she couldn't use it now...
"That is..."
Artoria's eyes widened as the scenery before her changed. The once peaceful and sunny Avalon had become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and in the middle of it all, there was a girl with a sorrowful expression.
"I never imagined it was me from another world. Are you lost?"
The girl in the sea of blood looked at Artoria. Although they had similar faces, Artoria's face had an iron-like determination. Even if sadness briefly filled her heart, she would soon emerge from it.
"Why be so surprised? You're in Avalon, aren't you? The chaotic spacetime there and your strong obsession gave us a brief opportunity to communicate. There's nothing strange about that."
"Obsession?"
Artoria looked at the girl before her, who stood unwavering amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, her sword still gleaming in her hand.
"The Holy Sword of Stars!"
Indeed, even though this Holy Sword had not yet been born in this world, Artoria, as the Elemental who used it to forge the Holy Sword, still sensed the true nature of the sword.
Even though it has been altered in appearance by being sealed with thirteen seals, this sword is truly the Holy Sword of Stars.
Wait, if it's her...
"I need your help with something."
Artoria stepped into the mountain of corpses and sea of blood. She looked at the girl before her, whose fate had taken a different path from her own. Since the girl before her was the Holy Sword User, then entrusting the task to her was the best choice.
This wasn't Artoria running away; rather, in this critical moment, she had to maximize her chances of winning.
As the two grew closer, their similar memories began to intertwine. Whether it was King Arthur from the Pan-Human History or Artoria from the Lostbelt, their memories echoed in each other's minds.
"This seems like a request that can't be refused."
The exhausted girl forced herself to stay awake. After countless Holy Grail War, she was getting tired and weary. Taking a break to save the world wasn't out of the question, but...
Have you considered the cost of this?
"I see."
Artoria understood that, just as Morgan from Lostbelt Morgan Morgan from Pan-Human History were exhausted after meeting, the two of them would also be exhausted if they appeared at the same time.
Unlike Morgan in Pan-Human History, who voluntarily relinquished control, this time Artoria had to completely surrender her body to him.
This means she is very likely to disappear, but that's not an unacceptable price to pay.
The two girls' hands touched, and then they transformed into light, gradually merging together until they became indistinguishable.
"It's been a long time, Kyo."
Artoria opened her eyes, and the look in her eyes told Liaochen everything—that girl...
"I'm sorry to meet you this way. You're showing your feelings for that part of me..."
"Rest assured."
Liaochen hugged Artoria, feeling the warmth of the person he hadn't seen in so long, and said reassuring words.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to make sure you both live as yourselves. Trust me, okay?"
Yes, I believe you.
Forging the Holy Sword would take some time. The two recounted their experiences after the Holy Grail War, while also feeling the earth tremble. They had to reach the surface before the Harvest Star Vanguard defeated the Greek Pantheon.
Chapter 272 The First Holy Sword User 81/165
The world began to burn, and a pure white figure appeared on the earth, each step she took damaging everything called "civilization".
Those gods who perished alongside civilization, those gods worshipped by countless people, those arrogant and domineering gods, were all shattered before her. Most of the weaker gods hid away, but it didn't matter. After her victory, she would take all the land with her. There was no room for gods to survive.
Now, her last and first enemy is this Iron Clump.
An alien civilization, Machine God descended upon this world. Faced with such a powerful enemy, the Gods of the Greek Pantheon united, yet even so, they were no match for the Harvest Star Vanguard.
Even with all the Machine God Fusion, Gods were ultimately destroyed in one fell swoop. Fortunately, the Human Form Technique they learned from the M78 Nebula ensured that their human hosts were still intact.
Although barely clinging to life, they were no match for the Harvest Star Vanguard before them.
"Damn it, are the Paradise Fae still not done?"
Zeus nearly lost his composure. Although he had always known that Fairy were an unreliable race, it was truly eye-opening to see them be so unreliable in the face of a planet's life-or-death crisis.
As for the other Gods, they were speechless; they had already given up hope in the face of the power of the Harvest Star Vanguard.
This planet will be stripped of all traces of "civilization." The Predatory Star that devour civilizations are such unpredictable beings, and even a single vanguard of Velber is so powerful. No one knows what the true nature of the Predatory Star is like.
But in this moment of despair, a ray of light pierced through the surface and rose into the sky, bringing a sliver of golden light to this dark world.
That is the Holy Sword of Stars. Even though we have the sword now, who will wield it?
It's Artoria, of course.
Artoria gripped the Holy Sword in her hand. The Holy Sword at this moment was different in appearance from the Holy Sword of later generations that had been sealed with thirteen seals, but its inner essence was the same.
No Round Table Resolution is needed; Artoria can unleash her full power at any time, as long as she so desires.
However, even if there is Round Table Resolution, it doesn't matter. After all, the current battle is a battle fought by the natives of Earth against alien invasion, and it is also a battle for the survival of all people on Earth.
We cannot afford to lose this battle.
Artoria's mind conjured up Britain, a world populated only by Fairy, a world where people eked out a living atop corpses, Britain more tragic than her own Britain, which had not reached a perfect ending.
To prevent such a future from ever happening again, she absolutely cannot afford to lose.
"The gathered breath of stars, the shimmering torrent of life, this radiance is the hope of the stars, the proof of life illuminating the earth!"
The entire planet seemed to sense Artoria's call, and tiny golden specks of light emerged from the ground and converged on the blade of the Holy Sword.
"Witness it!"
Artoria's voice seemed to reach everyone's ears, even the Harvest Star Vanguard should have secured victory couldn't help but turn their heads, marveling at the terrifying power she possessed.
We must stop her.
Energy gathered in her hand; as long as this attack couldn't be launched, it would still be her victory. Unfortunately... it was too late.
The golden torrent seemed endless. Faced with the world's crisis, both the Great Source and the Counter Force were helping Artoria. It could be called a full-force attack from the world. If the true form of the Harvest Star Vanguard had arrived, there might have been a chance of victory.
Unfortunately, her true form was trapped inside the Moon Crystal on the moon, so she could only send down a Doppelganger would also vanish in the golden torrent.
The victory seemed effortless, but Artoria knew it was merely a special attack on the Holy Sword of Stars; without it, the attack would have had no effect whatsoever.
But this is just the beginning.
"Heavenly Wheel Saint King"
Liaochen fully unleashed the Heavenly Wheel Saint King, and the halo directly covered the entire sky above the Earth, because the world's corrective power had arrived.
Artoria's defeat of the Harvest Star Vanguard completely negated the history of the Lostbelt, which was tantamount to erasing more than 10,000 years of history that had been developed, and countless Karma accumulated in this process came crashing down.
They were powerless against the Heavenly Wheel Saint King, but against Liaochen, the user, they possessed immense destructive power.
Burdened by karma, one sinks into the Sea of Suffering.
Even though the First Magic and the Heavenly Wheel Saint King could ensure that Liaochen's life would not be in danger, the date of his Become Buddha was getting further and further away, and at the same time, countless karmic forces turned into illusions that stimulated his nerves.
In those ten thousand years, Fairy humans among them.
Liaochen's actions can be described as erasing everything without distinguishing between good and evil. He feels no remorse for the "evil," but how should he deal with the "good"?
The Heavenly Saint King's pointer moved, transferring this Lostbelt, originally a "Singularity Event," to a "Compilation Event," a task that required Liaochen to bear alone with all the magical Mana.
"Divine Demon Not Self."
"Buddha-Demon Duality"
One person splits into two bodies. Even if this infinite karma is also infinite energy, without this power, Liaochen probably wouldn't be able to do this.
"I don't want to say that for a better future, I destroyed all traces of your existence; that is indeed my sin."
