Chapter 2613 / Chapter 2614

Zhongli walked leisurely down the Great Dao of New Penacony, his hands behind his back. Beside him was a gray-haired girl... Guizhong.

The two walked at an extremely leisurely pace, looking nothing like participants in the Holy Grail War, but rather like two elderly men and their granddaughter taking a stroll.

Chapter 2613

But just as Zhongli crossed an intersection, the air in front of him suddenly distorted, a golden light flashed for a moment, and then a figure appeared out of thin air in front of Zhongli.

The newcomer wore a magnificent crown and a dazzling Golden Honkai-Moe King Outfit.

The passersby stopped in their tracks the moment they saw who it was.

"He's Miraculous Forger!"

"The Miraculous Forger has appeared!"

Cheers erupted from all directions, and countless eyes were drawn to the figure in the golden suit.

Zhongli was slightly taken aback, then cupped his hands in a salute.

Although Zhongli and Chen Li were acquainted, they still had to put on an act in front of outsiders.

"No need to be so polite." Chen Li shook his head.

"What's wrong? What do you want with me?" Zhongli asked Chen Li in a calm tone.

"Congratulations on becoming the winner of the Holy Grail War in the exhibition match group." Chen Li looked at Zhongli and said in a somewhat subtle tone.

"Huh?" Zhongli was stunned.

The passersby were also stunned.

No, the opponent can win the Holy Grail War just by strolling around?

Zhongli subconsciously turned her head to look at Guizhong beside her.

"I didn't do it." Guizhong waved his hand, his gray eyes also filled with confusion.

In the Guizhong, he realized he hadn't done anything wrong.

"That's strange... how come the Holy Grail ended up with me?" Zhongli stroked his chin, genuinely puzzled.

I didn't do anything.

"In short, you're the only one in the entire exhibition match group with Heroic Spirit present right now, so you are the Holy Grail holder for this New Penacony Exhibition Match Group," Chen Li explained succinctly.

After speaking, Chen Li stretched out his hand, palm down, fingers slightly clenched.

"Buzz!"

The earth's veins in New Penacony began to tremble violently.

A deep rumble came from the ground beneath their feet, followed by a golden beam of light bursting through the earth's veins and shooting straight into the sky.

The Holy Grail, hidden deep within the New Penacony ley lines, slowly emerged into the air.

It was a gigantic, breathtaking golden Holy Grail. Countless intricate patterns and runes were engraved on its surface, reflecting a dazzling golden light in the sunlight.

The Holy Grail was far larger than anyone could have imagined; it almost blotted out the sky, and its silhouette, suspended in the heavens, could be seen from every corner of New Penacony.

"Wow..."

Countless passersby looked up at the enormous golden Holy Grail, their eyes filled with anticipation and awe.

But the next moment, a piercing hiss came from the Holy Grail.

The sound was sharp and eerie, unlike any sound that any known creature could make. It was more like the resonance of countless insects chirping simultaneously.

From the rim of the golden Holy Grail, an endless swarm of insects gushed forth like a fountain.

It covered everything, obscuring the sky and the sun.

Billions of insects surged forth from within the Holy Grail, spreading wildly in every direction of New Penacony. Like a living black cloud, they devoured all light in their path with a chilling buzzing sound.

The Propagation Aeon, Tzivros.

He's here!

Chapter ID: 114968463

Above the New Penacony, two figures were darting back and forth at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

The purple-gold light and the Lazurite energy waves collided high in the sky, exploding into one magnificent shockwave after another. Each collision made the buildings below vibrate and hum.

The once high-spirited Guiji, who had just become a god, now appeared utterly disheveled.

Several cracks appeared on the hand-shaped head, and the newly formed body swayed precariously under Vita's fist wind. Even the purple-gold light representing the power of the Aeon of Joy flickered.

Guiji truly never expected that less than thirty seconds after ascending to godhood, he would be chased and beaten for a full two minutes by a woman who descended from the sky.

The crowd on the street below looked up in disbelief, staring at Vita, who was chasing Guiji in the sky.

Some daring passersby even pulled out their devices and started taking pictures.

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I'm going to die if you keep hitting me!" After a flash of light and shadow, Guiji managed to create some distance and hurriedly waved his hands and shouted.

"I won't be at peace until I kill you. Goodbye to this world!" Vita gritted her teeth, approaching Guiji step by step, her right fist raised, her voice filled with Killing Intent.

"Seriously, stop fighting! Look, something's already happened over there!" Guiji quickly raised his arm and pointed to the huge golden Holy Grail floating in the distant sky.

From this height, the towering golden Holy Grail is particularly striking, its golden light casting a dazzling halo across the sky above New Penacony.

The moment Guiji uttered these words, an endless swarm of insects erupted from the top of the Holy Grail. Hundreds of millions of Swarm formed a churning black cloud in the air, obscuring the light of half the sky, and swept towards the entire New Penacony.

Vita glanced at the insects casually, then turned back to look at Guiji.

"How about that? I wasn't lying to you, was I? The entire New Penacony is currently facing a crisis! With your fighting strength, you must not waste too much time here and miss the opportunity!" Guiji's tone carried an almost pleading sincerity.

"What does it matter to me New Penacony attracts bugs? I'm going to beat you to death today." Vita sneered.

"Big sister, what did I do to you?!" Guiji's voice was almost cracking.

"You ruined my visual novel's romance storyline! I was almost about to unlock Special CG! But then you showed up, and all my hard work and plans were completely ruined! Tell me, shouldn't I hit you?!" Vita said through gritted teeth, pointing at Guiji's nose.

"No... what does this have to do with me? I just yelled, why don't you guys continue?" Guiji was stunned for a moment, his face full of disbelief.

"Continue my foot! If you hadn't eliminated the second-to-last contestant in the exhibition match, he wouldn't have gone to present the award to Zhongli. If he hadn't gone to present the award, I could have eaten!"

Chapter 2614

"Vita muttered resentfully."

Upon hearing Vita's words, Guiji was startled.

No, wait.

You mean... your lover interrupted your intimate moment because he had to go present the awards to the winner of the Holy Grail War?

It is the duty of the Miraculous Forger to award prizes to the victors of the Holy Grail War...

So, your lover is Miraculous Forger?

Holy crap.

No wonder he's so good at fighting.

Guiji felt a sense of panic, but still retained a sliver of reason, because...

"Um... excuse my bluntness, but you're not in a one-sided love relationship, are you?" Guiji looked at Vita with some uncertainty Heart Wings probed.

Upon hearing Guiji's words, Vita's expression froze instantly.

"?!!" Vita's pent-up anger erupted like a volcano, her eyes filled with Killing Intent. With a flick of her right hand, a short blade appeared out of thin air in her palm.

"Wait! I can help you!" Seeing the change in Vita's expression, Guiji quickly took a big step back and said urgently.

"Hmm?" Vita paused in her movement, holding up the short blade.

Two figures suddenly stopped in mid-air, startling the onlookers below.

"Why did you stop playing?"

"Wasn't the fight quite intense just now?"

Directly below the battlefield where these two Aeon -level warriors were negotiating, a completely different scene was unfolding.

The Family Head of the Penacony Clover Family, the Master Propagation Aeon in this Holy Grail War, Mr. Old Audi... was currently being held by the collar by Ritsuka Fujimaru with one hand and punched in the face repeatedly with the other.

"You bastard! How dare you steal my Servant! I'll beat you to death!" Ritsuka Fujimaru cursed as she punched him, each blow landing squarely and mercilessly.

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!" Old Audi screamed repeatedly, clutching his face, which was already swollen on one side.

Old Audi truly hadn't expected Ritsuka Fujimaru to be so strong.

Is this still a traditional Master? Did he steal some Berserker's Strength Points?

"You dare tell me to stop? Don't think I can't see through you. Just now, you and that broken hand were putting on a show! You actually dared to pretend to be a good guy and trick me!" Ritsuka Fujimaru grabbed Old Audi by the collar, lifting him up to her level, her eyes filled with rage.

"This is the Holy Grail War! Anyone who uses any method to win is allowed by the rules!" Old Audi covered his face with his hands, his voice squeezing out from between his fingers.

"Even if the rules allow it, I'll still beat you up!" Ritsuka Fujimaru retorted without any sense of reason.

"Of course! After all, as a participant in the Holy Grail War, it is indeed permitted by the rules for you to attack me." Old Audi put his hands behind his head, letting Ritsuka Fujimaru punch him repeatedly.

"I didn't expect you to admit it." Ritsuka Fujimaru paused, somewhat surprised.

Just then... Old Audi suddenly covered one of his bruised and swollen cheeks with one hand, threw his head back, and burst into laughter.

"Hohoho!"

Ritsuka Fujimaru instinctively took a step back, staring warily at the old man in the green suit who had suddenly gone mad.

Has this guy been driven mad by his own beating?

"Still want to fight? I'm here to take you down." Old Audi pointed to the sky, his smile tinged with madness and pride.

As Old Audi finished speaking...

Buzz.

Buzzing.

Buzzing...

Countless buzzing sounds arose simultaneously, and the sound waves rolled in from afar like a tsunami.

Passersby felt a shadow looming over the sky, and some instinctively looked up.

"Hmm? Is it dark yet?"

But when they actually looked up at the sky, they found that it wasn't covered by clouds.

Instead, it was hidden by insects.

The overwhelming Swarm, like a living black curtain, slowly swallowed the entire sky. The wings of every single insect vibrated at high speed, and the buzzing sound of billions of wings combined to form a low-frequency resonance that could make one's scalp tingle and teeth ache.

"This is... Swarm! Propagation Swarm! Why are there so many Propagation Swarms here? Help!" Among the crowd, a knowledgeable pioneer was the first to recognize the insects, his voice filled with terror.

Now that New Penacony has gathered talent from almost every corner of the galaxy, it's not surprising that they can recognize the Propagation Swarm.

After all, even after the death of the Propagation Aeon, countless out-of-control Swarm are still ravaging the star sea, making them the third greatest scourge after the Anti-Matter Legion and the Abundance Fiends.

As the man cried out in alarm, countless passersby scattered in terror and fled into the distance.

Ritsuka Fujimaru also looked up at the Swarm that blotted out the sky.

The insects flying in the sky began to gradually descend to the ground; the first, the second, the tenth, the hundredth... landed on the silent street.

Moreover, a significant number of Swarm landed right on the street where Ritsuka Fujimaru was located.

Perhaps drawn by some unseen force, an unusually large number of insects have landed here. Moreover, even larger individuals have begun to appear...

Thump. Thump. Thump.

One after another, the Queen Insects descended from the sky, their heavy bodies crashing onto the street and appearing behind Old Audi.

Unlike the ordinary Swarm that were rampaging through the streets, these few Star-shattering King Worm stood obediently behind Old Audi, their huge compound eyes all looking in the direction of Ritsuka Fujimaru.

Neat and uniform, like soldiers in formation.

"Hehehehe... I'm waiting for my Servant to descend. What are you waiting for? To die?" The Old Audi, whose face was bruised and swollen, slowly straightened up, put his hands on his hips, and looked up at Ritsuka Fujimaru with an arrogant smile on half of his swollen face.

With the support of the Star-shattering King Worm, the Old Audi was no longer afraid of Ritsuka Fujimaru.

Ritsuka Fujimaru didn't say anything, but just looked at Old Audi with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

But the Old Audi completely failed to notice Ritsuka Fujimaru's gaze, and instead became more and more excited and frantic as he spoke.

"Five days! Do you know how I spent those five days inside the Holy Grail?" Old Audi spread his arms wide, looking up at the "sky" made of Swarm, his tone filled with the pride and excitement of surviving a catastrophe.
