Kiritsugu Emiya and Kariya Matou stared around them in astonishment, a hint of fear in their eyes. The difference was that Kiritsugu feared what this Inherent Domain represented: a battlefield that could summon a group beating anytime, anywhere.
Fortunately, today would decide the victor. They absolutely could not let him escape.
Kariya Matou, meanwhile, was simply afraid of the unknown. Well... looking at the army before him, he was probably also afraid of being ganged up on.
Lancelot... Lancelot crouched with mild interest and grabbed a handful of the ground, but nothing happened. He rose again, somewhat disappointed.
"Diarmuid."
Only now did Sola react. She looked at Diarmuid, who was shielding Kaineth beneath him, with a complicated expression. There was something she had never said aloud.
So in the end, I was merely the lady of the house!
When danger arrived, he had not chosen to protect her, nor had he chosen to embrace the bomb. He had only protected his Monarch. To preserve their fighting strength, he could ignore her entirely...
Was this your choice?
Sola suddenly felt lost. She did not know what she had been doing these past few days.
She was frivolous and shameless, but...
"What powerful resentment!"
Even from so far away, Fu Yuan could sense that resentment. What a pity Honkai God had already been driven away.
Otherwise, it would have been more than enough to create a pseudo-Herrscher.
But these were merely minor interludes. No one cared about her thoughts at this moment.
"Master, you have to hold on!"
Seeing that his clever shortcut had failed, Fu Yuan stopped thinking about slacking off. In an instant, his entire body became 165.
At the same time, Honkai energy began to spread without end. As for the vast army facing him? What a joke!
For Honkai, there was never any need to fear that ants could kill an elephant.
Although, for certain reasons, he currently did not dare to draw upon Honkai energy.
The Honkai energy converted from his own mana, however, was beyond Its control.
Of course, he still did not dare to unleash too much Honkai energy. Who knew whether those big shots were watching this place? He was currently in a weakened state.
Just looking at Honkai God's fate was enough to show how much it hurt to be ganged up on by justice!
It was a little mana-intensive at the start, but with Honkai's corrosive nature, only the beginning consumed much mana. After all, not all these soldiers were elites!
The army before him had already begun its charge. They were not especially orderly, yet they instinctively made one shudder.
Every warrior followed their King in continuing the conquests of their lives. They feared no death, and not a trace of fear could be seen on their faces.
But fodder troops,
Stand down!
There was no need to wait slowly for the Honkai energy to corrupt them. A casually formed Spear of Constraint could pierce through five or six men.
Yet with a casual wave of Fu Yuan's hand, dozens of Spears of Constraint appeared, ceaselessly reaping their lives.
What the charging warriors failed to notice was that their fallen comrades did not disappear as usual. Perhaps they had noticed, but they could not spare the attention for it now.
This did not make them afraid in the slightest. It was as though being killed was itself an honor. No, it should be said that dying while following their King's path was, to them, the highest honor.
"What astonishing resolve!"
Yet Fu Yuan felt no unease at all. He merely looked down on them with the contempt one reserved for ants.
This was Honkai!
"So let me see just how far your persistence can go!"
Fu Yuan had never forgotten Lutuo's words. Ordinary people could never resist Honkai. Only by holding everything in one's hands could one suppress Honkai forever.
He wanted to see whether this group of people, people with unwavering convictions, could prove Lutuo wrong.
Unlike his usual experimental subjects, he had fairly high expectations for this one.
But Fu Yuan was soon disappointed. The weak were still weak. Even clad in honor and upheld by conviction, they could not resist at all.
While Fu Yuan kept recalling the past,
The army had nearly reached him. Iskandar, leading the charge, could clearly see the smile in Fu Yuan's eyes.
It was the expectant smile of someone watching a stage play reach its most exciting moment.
"Surprise!"
As though those words possessed magic, the moment they fell, the warriors who had been struck down did not turn into spiritual energy. Instead, they rose again, wielding power greater than before.
Among several of the mutated warriors, white-and-purple monsters even appeared.
Then they aimed their spears at friends who had been comrades only seconds ago, their eyes filled with murderous intent.
The once-invincible formation instantly collapsed. No one would guard against the corpses of their comrades. Neither would they.
All their past experience in warfare seemed utterly useless in such circumstances.
Iskandar suddenly felt his control over the Domain become unstable, and he could also sense the panic among the soldiers behind him. But he did not stop charging. His warhorse continued to run, and not a trace of panic appeared in his eyes.
Although some of the elite generals who had followed him in life had been unfortunate enough to be caught up in the chaos and were struggling to resist, even more continued following their King without pause.
The moment Diarmuid saw them being corrupted, he anxiously looked back. After discovering that his Monarch was safe and sound, he likewise charged forward without hesitation.
His twin spears dragged lines across the sand. Soon, he would bring victory to his Monarch with the spears in his hands. He believed it.
"Ha, hahaha! Hahaha! So we've really been underestimated!"
Although he no longer possessed Emotion Perception, Fu Yuan could tell from their expressions how confident they were. He found it rather amusing.
The last person to do something like this had been a certain Lutuo. After discovering that Fu Yuan was a Herrscher, Lutuo had prepared to act. After all, in his eyes at the time, the six-core Empty Ruler should have been the pinnacle of Herrschers.
In the end, if Fu Yuan had not truly been irreplaceable to humanity, the grass on his grave would have grown taller than Fu Yuan.

Kiritsugu Emiya and Kariya Matou had already retreated of their own accord. They understood that they were merely burdens.
All they could do was ensure that those fighting would not suffer defeat because of insufficient mana.
At the thought of mana, both men's faces turned pale again.
However, Kariya Matou was probably the only one troubled by that.
"That should be enough."
Feeling the Honkai in the air gradually grow denser, Fu Yuan revealed a deeply satisfied expression for the first time in a long while.
Herrschers! They were always monsters!
He tilted his head to the left, narrowly avoiding the spear thrust straight at him. At the same time, the Spear of Constraint in Fu Yuan's hand pierced through the attacker's heart.
Although he had killed one of the enemy's high-ranking generals in an instant, Fu Yuan's expression instead became somewhat dissatisfied.
Lancelot alone was holding back Iskandar and Diarmuid, while these pieces of trash had actually charged straight at him.
How dare garbage like them dream of touching him!
How irritating!
Several Chains appeared out of thin air and blocked the other attacks, while Fu Yuan, the main character, merely moved a finger slightly.
Perhaps he had grown bored, or perhaps he simply could not be bothered to act.
After all, if they entered the Hall of Heroes, their abilities might not be much weaker than Iskandar's. Yet now, they were as irritating as flies.
Fu Yuan did not kill them in the next instant. Instead, he began completely absorbing the Honkai energy within this space, absorbing the energy he himself had created through corruption.
This was what a Herrscher was, not those idiots he had encountered later who only knew how to charge head-on!
The battlefield, still locked in slaughter moments ago, instantly fell silent. The white monsters began to dissipate, along with the soldiers who had already been demonized.
All the Honkai energy within the Domain turned into a torrent and rushed into Fu Yuan's body, constantly replenishing the emptiness within him.
Those who had merely been corrupted also turned into streams of spiritual energy the instant the Honkai energy was forcibly extracted, after which the Honkai energy continued converting them.
The mana entry on the status panel transformed into EX in an instant. At the same time, those pieces of trash beside him changed as well!
Countless streams of Honkai energy instantly tore through their bodies, and they too became a torrent of spiritual energy that surged into Fu Yuan.
Thus, the fodder troops had been cleared out!
P.S. How do you make Character Cards?
I see other new books doing it just fine?
Ignoring the few soldiers who had not yet died and were still struggling on the brink of death, Fu Yuan looked at Lancelot, who was only slightly at a disadvantage in a one-against-two battle, and felt an inexplicable appreciation.
If someone like him had grown up in the Honkai World and survived, he should have been able to reach S-rank.
Only after Diarmuid saw him approaching did he notice that the battlefield had already been completely cleared. His expression darkened, and the two spears in his hands swung even more fiercely.
The flash of sorrow that surfaced in Iskandar's eyes vanished in an instant. He still carried himself with that bold, uninhibited air, as though they were not the ones at a disadvantage.
Although the two on the main battlefield were unafraid, the three behind them were visibly nervous.
"Rider! You have to win!"
"Rider! Go!"
Although he had not undergone the trials and gained the recognition of the original story, Waver still foolishly used a Command Spell just like that, though he did not use all of it.
Of course, perhaps he simply could not think of what to say, which was why he did not use them all.
Fu Yuan really wanted to smack Kaineth on the head. Did he not know those were strategic resources?
"...Lancer, strengthen your Strength!"
"Lancer, strengthen your Strength!"
"Lancer..."
Kaineth, who clearly knew how to use them, was about to say the third sentence when he remembered that he only had two left!
And that traitorous disciple had fucking wasted two!
He was suddenly overcome with frustration!
As for why he did not use them on a Noble Phantasm, the mana required to unleash one was nothing to him!
Waver seemed to understand, yet he also felt as though he had done something wrong.
"Then, Rider, stronger!"
He narrowly avoided a spear shot from afar and looked toward the battlefield with lingering fear.
