I Created the Holy Grail War, Shocking the World Chapter 21

The King of the Eighth Lostbelt is essentially the combined power of an entire pantheon, continent-level.

Ninth Order Transcenders can destroy stars.

The gap between each level is like heaven and earth.

For example, there's a difference of several million times between Great Ivan and World Destroyer, and fifty billion times between World Destroyer and Star Destroyer.

It feels quite reasonable.

In the early stages, it's not difficult for the protagonist to become a Heroic Spirit-level combatant, but becoming World Destroyer-level or Star Destroyer-level will be a bit slower due to the vast disparity in strength.

26. The Peerless Sword Saint Appears, Hideyoshi's Gender is Hideyoshi!

[Three days ago.]

[Ryudō Temple, under the moon.]

["I've finally obtained the Niten Ichi-ryū manuscript personally written by Miyamoto Musashi."]

["It took quite a bit of effort..."]

["This should be enough to summon Musashi, right?"]

["A great swordsman from the Sengoku period, as a native Heroic Spirit, his fame bonus on top of his already first-class status. If he descends as a Saber Class, I'll win this Holy Grail War!"]

[Within the quiet temple, a clear voice echoed, filled with a gentle, youthful aura.]

Moscow, Washington, Libya, Singapore...

Countless people raised their eyebrows with interest, staring intently at the Sky Screen.

Following the Archer team, it seemed another interesting pairing was about to debut.

"Wants to summon Musashi?"

"Indeed, a person with discerning taste."

"But judging from the Swallow Return appearing in the PV, he seems to have summoned Musashi's nemesis, Kojiro."

"According to legend, Sasaki Kojiro is also very strong!"

"Secret Sword: Swallow Return is invincible!"

Sea of Clouds, Japan.

A place surrounded by mountains.

"Musashi..."

Shuten-doji murmured, her gaze filled with nostalgia and a hint of excitement.

Hundreds of years ago, that powerful swordsman stood before her and unleashed the Musou no Itto.

It was dazzling and stunning. This memory not only hadn't faded with the passage of time but had, through gradual fermentation, become an indelible color in her heart.

"Even though it's not you, let me see how strong Sasaki Kojiro, who shares your name, truly is!"

The woman sat on her throne, laughing heartily as she drank.

The parallel world hypothesis, how interesting!

["Your body shall serve my command; my fate shall be yours to wield."]

["Responding to the call of the Holy Grail, obeying this will and reason, appear!"]

["I am the one who does all good in the world; I am the one who commits all evil in the world."]

["The seven days of the cycle, bound by the three words of power."]

["Come forth from the circle of restraint, Guardian of the Scales."]

As the incantation intensified.

The camera slowly shifted, leaving countless people stunned.

Especially the students of Fumizuki Academy's senior high school, who exclaimed upon seeing a familiar figure.

"Isn't that Hideyoshi?"

In the world of the Sky Screen.

Everyone turned their gazes in one direction, looking surprised.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi, dressed in a sailor uniform and resembling a beautiful girl, was also bewildered.

Why was he appearing in the plot?

Wait, could it be that he was the Master of the Sword Saint Sasaki Kojiro!

[Ahead, a brown-haired beautiful girl in a white miniskirt had a serious expression. Her white stockings accentuated her stunning long legs, mixed with a hint of masculine spirit and an alluring charm.]

[The prototype Command Spells in her hand grew increasingly crimson.]

[On the high platform, an ancient Holy Relic was enshrined.]

[The worn manuscript danced in the wind, its mottled characters imbued with the weight of history.]

[Azure magical light spilled from beneath his feet, instantly enveloping the vast temple grounds.]

[Countless chills surged, and a great wind blew.]

[Within the radiance, a dashing and composed figure suddenly appeared.]

["Yo, I am Assassin. I have come in response to your summons. Are you my Master?"]

[The swordsman smiled with dashing ease. He wore a light purple kimono, his dark blue ponytail tied back. Standing with his arms crossed, a twig was inexplicably held in his mouth.]

[Handsome features and elegant speech—this was his first impression of the other party.]

[With a hint of doubt, Kinoshita Hideyoshi asked his first question upon meeting.]

["Are you Lord Miyamoto Musashi?"]

["No, I am... Sasaki Kojiro, a nobody~."]

[The blue-haired swordsman chuckled lightly, as if nothing were out of the ordinary.]

Watching the elegant swordsman on the Sky Screen, everyone's eyes flashed with a hint of amazement.

"So cool!"

"Absolutely stunning!"

"My god, his way of speaking is just mesmerizing!"

"Everyone, look at me! I'm announcing something, I'm Kojiro-sama's most devoted fan!"

"Another handsome guy paired with a beautiful girl, good, very good!"

"I really like this girl's outfit too!"

"What a cute Master..."

"What cute Master, she's clearly my wife!"

"Wife, wife, wife, wife, wife!!"

"Wake up upstairs, stop daydreaming!"

"Otakus are so disgusting!"

Countless discussions erupted across the globe.

Compared to the Archer whose identity was unknown, Sasaki Kojiro's name was thunderous!

He was a sword saint whose life was filled with legend.

It was said that even the swallows flying in the sky could not escape the range of his long sword.

His swordsmanship was peerless in his time, a heavenly prodigy who dominated an era during Japan's Warring States period!

At the same time, Hideyoshi, as Kojiro's Master, also drew much attention. His stunning appearance evoked affection from countless people, who exclaimed "wife."

But as the Sky Screen's gentle, elegant melody sounded, countless young hearts were shattered.

[At Ryudō Temple, the blue-clad swordsman's lips curled upward. With narrowed eyes, he smiled somewhat brazenly, "I didn't expect to be partnered with such a beautiful girl this time. It makes me so happy."]

[The brown-haired girl blushed slightly, "Ah... Mr. Sasaki, you've misunderstood."]

["Oh?"]

[The blue-clad swordsman seemed surprised. Was she displeased that he wasn't Miyamoto Musashi?]

[She sheepishly scratched her head, "...Is there a possibility that I'm not a girl?"]

["..."]

[Kojiro found it hard to believe. He carefully examined the other party's fair neck, and upon seeing the Adam's apple, he instantly fell silent.]

[Have men of later generations become like this?]

At this moment, the whole world was shocked!

"Fake, it's all fake! How can someone so good-looking be a guy!"

"Damn it, no matter how you look at it, she's a genuine beautiful girl!"

"I thought girls only had girls as rivals, but I didn't expect... sob."

"To lose to a guy, what is this complicated feeling?"

"Damn, I almost turned gay."

"I finally felt my heart flutter once, and you made me lose so completely!"

"It's okay, I'm into that!"

"The 'Brother Jie' is actually me!"

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it... this is definitely, absolutely a girl!"

"I already told you, I'm a guy!"

In the Sky Screen world, Hideyoshi covered his face in exasperation.

Idiots, at least accept reality seriously!

27. An Assassin pair with excellent compatibility and a luxurious status screen!

[After a long silence, Kojiro recovered, a smile playing on his lips as he asked, "Although it's surprising, Master, what should I call you?"]

["This old man... is Kinoshita Hideyoshi. You can just call me Hideyoshi."]

[The beautiful brown-haired girl stated calmly, her words neither humble nor arrogant, possessing a spirited heroism.]

[The blue-clothed swordsman's pupils constricted. After a moment of surprise, he quickly relaxed and smiled, "I see. No wonder I felt Master looked familiar. It's not surprising you summoned me then."]

["Mr. Sasaki, do you know why I didn't summon Musashi?"]

["Well, Master bears a striking resemblance to my old friend, Hashiba Tōkichirō Hideyoshi..."]

["Who is Hashiba Tōkichirō Hideyoshi?"]

[Hideyoshi scratched his head, his eyes a bit confused.]

[As everyone knows, her history grades were worse than some elementary school students; she was a complete idiot.]

["...That's a long story."]

[Kojiro chuckled wryly, looking up at the pale moon in the sky with a complex expression.]

"Idiot, that's Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the famous general from the Sengoku period!"

In the Sky Screen world, the beautiful girl with chestnut hair lightly retorted.
