"Sanctuary! Orléans! France! Prepare for your endless regret!"
Above Orlando, France, the witch Jeanne Alter laughed wildly, her mood one of unparalleled joy.
Previously, she and her Master had split up; she went to Orléans, France, to handle the preliminary preparations and to summon her own Dark Servant Heroic Spirit.
After all, her final destination and the starting point of this body are both in this city, and there is also a good Earth Vein below it, making it perfect for summoning her own dark Heroic Spirit Servant.
Now that this step has been successful, she glanced back at the seven dark-toned Heroic Spirit Servant, then swept her gaze across the countless Demon Dragon around her. The witch Jeanne d'Arc Alter looked ahead, reached out and made a grasping motion, her golden eyes gleaming with unparalleled sharpness.
"My dearest saint, this time I will not let you escape again!"
Last time, she was very unwilling and paid a considerable price to activate the power of the Dark Holy Grail to interfere with the other side's Command Spell by using the Ruler class to control Karna and others, all in order to take down that positive Saint Jeanne d'Arc.
But just when she was about to succeed at the last moment, the woman suddenly disappeared, causing all her efforts to go to waste and even delaying her from successfully summoning the Heroic Spirit and her own Demon Dragon by a whole day.
But there won't be a next time. Next time we meet, that hypocritical woman will surely become her prisoner!
Of course, summoning Heroic Spirit using the Dark Holy Grail was only the first step. The second step was to forcibly extract the Earth Vein from the entire France mainland to serve as the energy source for their Holy Grail War.
After all, the Black Faction has transformed the entire land of Romania into a Magecraft workshop, gaining access to all the Earth Vein energy within, making its magic virtually limitless.
If we cannot find an equally infinite source of magic to counter it, this war is simply impossible to wage.
Ultimately, they set their sights on the Earth Vein within France, hoping to obtain a sufficient source of magical power and also to exact revenge on France.
After all, this wasn't her era. Those enemies from back then had all turned to dust, and she wasn't so heartless as to slaughter innocent people.
However, these people shouldn't be allowed to have it easy either. After all, the France people of today are Houyi of those people from that era, and they must also bear a share of the sins.
Then let them lose the magic of the land!
Without the nourishment of the Earth Vein energy, the potential of life on this land will inevitably continue to decline, and the land itself will even continue to become desert.
This country has begun its countdown and won't last much longer.
In at most ten years, this country will be reduced to a desert!
Finally, amidst the desperate cries and curses of all the Magecraft and Holy Church officials in France, the last ley Earth Vein belonging to France was forcibly extracted and merged into the enormous courtyard high in the sky.
This is none other than Amakusa Shirou Heroic Spirit's strongest Noble Phantasm, the Servant Empress— Hanging Gardens of Babylon!
It was like the vampire power of the Grand Duke, which was forcibly added by later generations using false legends, but the effect was extremely powerful.
It can create a legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon based on certain local materials and resources. It can not only fly in the sky, but also has many functions. At the same time, its defensive and offensive capabilities are off the charts.
Not to mention that Amakusa Shirou's negotiations with the Clock Tower and the Holy Church, who were eager to retaliate and seize control of the Thousand Worlds Tree Lineage, were very successful. In exchange for some combat support, he obtained a huge amount of resources from both sides.
Furthermore, since he didn't need to act secretly this time, he took his Servant, the Empress, back to the Assyrian Empire and forcibly used the materials there to build a perfect Hanging Gardens of Babylon, which was hundreds of times larger than he had originally planned.
Finally, by incorporating the massive resources traded between the Holy Church and the Clock Tower, the power of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon was elevated to a level beyond its limits.
Furthermore, with the energy of the entire France Earth Vein now extracted as its core, the final piece of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon puzzle has been completed, transforming it into a complete aerial war fortress.
It can be said that the current Empress has surpassed her former peak and is the undisputed number one on their side. Even the Demigod Hero Karna and Achilles cannot contend with the Empress's power.
"Thanks a lot!"
With concern and heartache, he handed Amakusa Shiro a silk handkerchief, and Amakusa Shirou felt a sense of relief.
Finally, they barely have the strength to compete with the Red Faction!
" Master, shall we depart now?"
Taking the silk scarf and wiping the fine sweat from her fair forehead, the Empress knew that this act of extracting energy from the entire France Earth Vein had exceeded the limits of tolerance of the Clock Tower and the Holy Church.
If we stay any longer, we might really anger them and end up fighting.
Although they possessed the Invincible fortress of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, they did not underestimate the power of the Clock Tower and the Holy Church, especially since those old monsters on the other side made even the Heroic Spirit Servant wary.
Furthermore, with the threat posed by the Thousand Worlds Tree Lineage, they really couldn't afford to make any more powerful enemies.
"Nature!"
Maintaining his composed smile, Amakusa Shirou wasn't a fool; he naturally understood the Empress's concerns.
Now is the time for us to form an alliance with the Clock Tower and the Holy Church, so we shouldn't go too far. Now that all preparations are complete, it's time to return to the battlefield.
Wang Hao was unaware that Amakusa Shirou had already prepared everything and was aggressively marching towards Romania. At this moment, after finally stabilizing the World Tree, he asked Saintess White Jeanne to look after it for the time being, while he himself tore through space and descended to the Clock Tower.
He hadn't forgotten that the four-person FGO team was waiting here. He was very curious as to why Gudako had come to this time and space, and it seemed that she had come specifically to find him.
"You mean your world completely collapsed because of me, so you've come to me asking for a way to save it?"
After hearing Gudako's explanation, Wang Hao roughly understood what had happened.
It turns out that in the future, the Body Refinement he created and spread was obtained by Demon God King Goetia, the final boss of FGO, which caused Demon God King Goetia's power to increase dramatically.
This final boss was already incredibly powerful, and in the original story, his strength was greatly diminished for some reason, which gave the main characters a chance to win.
Now, the ultimate boss has not only not lost much of his strength, but has become even stronger, which is indeed a rather desperate situation for the protagonist.
"I don't know if their world has collapsed, but my world is a little short of collapsing. As long as I have enough power, I can go back and tear that despicable guy Goetia, to pieces."
Glancing sideways at the dumbfounded and bewildered Gudao, Gudako said resentfully, even making a tearing gesture with her small, white hand, clearly showing her extreme hatred for that Goetia.
"You mean you want me to go to your world and destroy that Goetia? That's not impossible, but we'll have to wait a while, at least until I finish the Holy Grail War in this world."
After a moment's thought, Wang Hao realized that he was partly to blame. It wouldn't have mattered if the person in question hadn't come, but now that they had come to him for help, it would be unreasonable not to lend a hand.
However, it's definitely not possible to go there now. According to Gudako's description, that guy Goetia has definitely reached the Taiyi Realm level, and with his current cultivation only restored to the Second Tier of the Heaven Realm, he is somewhat powerless to do so.
We should at least wait until he has recovered his cultivation to its peak before making a move.
At that point, let alone an enhanced version of Goetia, he was confident he could beat it to a pulp and make it kneel and sing "Conquer" even if the two Counter Force faced off.
"No, please don't go! If that guy Goetia sees you, he'll definitely hide far away, and it'll be much harder to find him then."
Gudako quickly shook her head. Coming from the future, she knew how terrifying this mutated version of Lancelot was. Even Goetia, who had evolved to the point of being able to defeat everything, would have to give way to him.
Even in the final battle, she witnessed this giant make even the most Counter Force figures cry.
Even if the giants of this period had not yet reached their peak, they were still top-tier figures. If they were to leave now, Goetia would have to run away immediately.
That guy's strength is just so-so, but his hide-and-seek skills are really disgusting. If he really hides, it will be difficult to find him. And if she doesn't eliminate him, she can't restore the world.
Therefore, the purpose of reversing time and space this time is not to ask this giant to take action personally, but to obtain a method to become stronger from him. It would be even better if this giant could personally create a set of exclusive cultivation techniques for them.
Even Goetia, who only obtained a common version of the Body Refinement, became so abnormal. If they could obtain an exclusive cultivation method created by a master, they would definitely surpass Goetia.
When the time comes, won't they be the ones to decide how to mold and shape it?
Moreover, compared to simply eliminating one Goetia, it's naturally more worthwhile to become stronger. That way, even if another madman similar to Goetia appears in the future, they will have the ability to defeat him.
This is her main purpose in going to such lengths to reverse time and arrive here.
"So what!"
Wang Hao raised an eyebrow, signaling Gudako to continue, while also vaguely guessing what she was thinking.
What a clever girl!
"Therefore, I would like to ask you to create a custom-made cultivation technique for us!"
As she spoke, Gudako put her arm around Mash, who was still in a daze, indicating that Mash was her best friend and that Gudako should handle the situation as she saw fit.
She knew perfectly well that this powerful figure was Lancelot, the strongest Knight of the Round Table in Great Britain, and that the Heroic Spirit that Mash fused with inherited her Spirit Origin from Galahad, who also belonged to the Twelve Knights of the Round Table.
Not many people may know the name Galahad, but his other identity is quite impressive: he is the adopted son of Lancelot, the strongest Knights of the Round Table, who is standing in front of us.
Now that Mash has fused with Galahad's Spirit Origin, she's practically someone's daughter. With this daughter present, wouldn't you, sir, feel obligated to give her a little something extra as a welcoming gift?
This is also the main reason why she brought Mash along when she traveled to another parallel world!
After all, she had no relation to this tycoon, although judging from his behavior in the final moments of the final battle, he was an absolutely upright person whose character was completely trustworthy.
But this incredible opportunity that concerns one's future is something one must do everything in their power to make the biggest possible chance!
