At noon, the Red Faction, along with the Clock Tower and the Holy Church, launched a simultaneous attack, assaulting the Thousand Worlds Tree Lineage from two sides.
Fortunately, Wang Hao had already transformed the entire Romania territory into a Magecraft workshop. With the support of that super-giant Magecraft array, the defensive power was off the charts, easily and perfectly repelling the enemy's first wave of attacks.
Then the Red Faction, the Clock Tower, and the Holy Church personally took to the field.
" Jeanne d'Arc, come out and face your death!"
Sensing the location of her other side's aura, the witch Jeanne d'Arc Alter immediately rode her evil dragon and charged over, holding a battle banner and pointing directly at the location of the saintess White Jeanne below.
"Why are you shouting so loudly? Don't forget you're Jeanne d'Arc too. Who would willingly let themselves die? Did your brain get messed up after you turned evil?"
Standing up, Saintess White Jeanne' Arc retorted without backing down, making the witch Jeanne d'Arc Alter, who was standing on the back of the evil dragon, grit her teeth in anger.
" Gilles, you lead them and the dragons to clear the area. Don't let anyone interfere with my fight with that bitch."
She casually gave an order to Gilles, who was standing on the dragon, and the witch Jeanne d'Arc Alter controlled the evil dragon to charge down at the saintess White Jeanne below.
As her die-hard fan, the first one she summoned was Gilles, a Magecraft. She didn't even need a relic to summon him; as long as she stood on the summoning circle, Gilles would be the first to respond.
As her most trusted general during her lifetime, and even someone who went mad and depraved because of her death, she had absolute trust in him, so she entrusted him with the control of the dragons and other dark Servant.
"My dearest saint, you say the Lord you believe in absolutely does not exist, so let me make you face this reality today!"
Staring madly at the Saintess White Jeanne below, Gilles immediately manipulated his dragon horde and six dark Servant to clear a space, preventing anyone from disturbing their duel.
"Hold head high!"
Just as the witch Jeanne d'Arc Alter was about to strike with the evil dragon, a melodious and sacred dragon roar suddenly rang out from the opposite side, causing the evil dragon to freeze in place.
Controlling the evil dragon to stop, the witch looked down with a serious expression, her gaze finally settling on the spherical creature beside the saintess White Jeanne.
"Dragon?"
Glancing at the adorable, spherical creature beside her on the other side, the witch Jeanne d'Arc Alter, realizing what had happened, couldn't help but burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.
"Hahaha... That's hilarious, absolutely hilarious! To fight my evil dragon, you actually brought out a giant dragon like this? Are you trying to make dessert for my evil dragon?"
She was genuinely startled by the dragon's roar, which contained a sacred aura. As someone with the characteristics of an evil dragon, she could naturally sense the level of the other party's status from that dragon's roar. It was definitely Dragon Kind no less than the evil dragon beneath her, and perhaps even a level higher.
But who would have thought that the Dragon Kind was a juvenile, and such an adorable one at that.
The saintess White Jeanne below turned pale, cursing Wang Hao to death in her heart once again.
It's all that guy's fault for making me lose face in front of this jerk!
Meanwhile, the Holy Great Dragon beside it seemed to sense the witch Jeanne d'Arc Alter Alter's mockery and contempt. It let out another soft roar, and boundless golden light burst forth from its body. When the golden light dissipated, a Holy Great Dragon, no smaller than the evil dragon, was revealed.
This was the first Bloodline Divine Ability that Wang Hao set for that little guy: to transform into a mature True Dragon Form form.
Although it can only last for a very short time, during this period one will possess the power of a mature form, making their combat strength absolutely off the charts.
"Hold head high!"
With a roar at the evil dragon in the sky, the Holy Great Dragon stretched out one of its wings in front of White Jeanne, signaling her to jump up.
Next, they're going to work together to teach that dark-skinned woman and that big, dark-skinned, silly evil dragon a lesson.
Stunned by the sight, White Jeanne didn't come to her senses until the dragon's wings reached her. Without saying much, she excitedly stepped onto the back of the Holy Great Dragon along the huge dragon wings, holding a battle flag and looking straight at the witch Jeanne d'Arc Alter, who was equally stunned by the sight in mid-air.
That wasn't all. Golden Sacred Flame spread from the Holy Great Dragon's body to White Jeanne's, resonating with the sword at her waist and merging into one, rapidly transforming White Jeanne's body.
This was something Wang Hao had planned long ago. After all, in Western mythology, dragons are always associated with fire, and the so-called dragon breath is a skill that involves breathing fire.
Jeanne d'Arc herself possessed a crimson flame, so she used it as a foundation, combined with a drop of holy blood plundered from the Holy Church, to create this holy flame, which can be considered an evolved version of the White Jeanne's crimson flame.
Currently, due to the divine power of the Clockwork True Dragon Form, the Holy Great Dragon has temporarily entered its mature form, and the Holy Flame within its body has also temporarily taken shape, possessing the ability to emanate from its body. It is then attracted by White Jeanne's Crimson Flame, and the two merge together, guiding White Jeanne's Crimson Flame to evolve as well.
This is also why the Holy Great Dragon was so close to White Jeanne from the moment it was born.
It sounds like a long story, but in reality, it all happened in the blink of an eye. Soon, the crimson flame power within White Jeanne's body was completely transformed into the same holy flame as the Holy Great Dragon, allowing her to unleash her Noble Phantasm without sacrificing herself.
Sensing the powerful Holy Flame energy within her body, Saintess White Jeanne's fighting spirit soared even higher.
To be honest, the witch Jeanne d'Arc Alter was truly shocked.
She never expected that the baby dragon that the bitch found would have such power, and that it could even help that bitch evolve. That's so unfair!
"Don't think you can fight me with a mere showpiece! Kill!"
Having forced herself to calm down, the witch Jeanne d'Arc Alter didn't waste any more words. With a cold snort, she steered the evil dragon beneath her to continue her charge.
Not to be outdone, Saint Jeanne d'Arc below rode her Holy Great Dragon upwards in a fierce charge.
Although they are one entity, their positions are absolutely opposed and there is no possibility of reconciliation, not to mention that they are now on opposite sides of the Holy Grail War.
Therefore, there is only one battle between them; it's either you die or I perish!
Just as the two dragons were about to collide, another, even larger, black-gold dragon suddenly rushed into the center of the battle, using its powerful body to block them both.
"Damn it, it's you again, you brat! Get out of my way right now, or I'll beat you up too!"
Upon seeing the black dragon with golden stripes, the witch Jeanne d'Arc Alter's face darkened instantly, and a fierce killing intent blazed in her dark golden eyes.
This wasn't the first time she'd seen a dragon in this form; it was the same transformed form of the previous clown.
But why is this guy, who was so insistent on pursuing her, now getting involved?
"Who are you?"
Sieg, now a dragon, ignored the witch Jeanne d'Arc Alter's frenzied killing intent and instead turned his dragon head to look at White Jeanne with a puzzled and somewhat bewildered expression.
He previously thought that meeting the witch Jeanne d'Arc Alter was the other half he had been prophesied to be, but who would have thought that he would now meet someone almost exactly the same?
Not only does the other person look exactly like Jeanne d'Arc Alter, but they also possess the same characteristic that makes his heart race.
Could this be my other half?
The gentleman's prediction didn't specify whether his other half would be one person or two!
For a moment, Sieg was lost in confusion, but though his heart was confused, his determination to protect his other half remained unwavering.
No matter what, he must not let his two partners fight; he would regret it for the rest of his life if either of them got hurt.
Wang Hao was unaware that the Protagonist of the Era on whom he had placed so much hope was caught up in a melodramatic love affair; he was currently strolling around the Red Faction's Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
He was very interested in the Empress's Hanging Gardens of Babylon when he watched the anime, and now that he has seen the real thing, he naturally has to come up and take a look.
Moreover, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon that the Empress has created this time seem to be much stronger than those in the animation; otherwise, given the power the Hanging Gardens of Babylon are currently displaying, Darnic's side would have no chance of resisting them.
With the blessing of this Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Empress of Assyria, as its master, is undoubtedly the number one Servant Heroic Spirit in this Holy Grail War, far surpassing even Demigod Hero like Karna and Achilles.
This is practically a super war fortress!
"You insolent scoundrel, how dare you invade my garden!"
Wang Hao did not deliberately conceal his presence, so he was quickly sensed by the Empress who controlled the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, who then condensed a Projection in front of Wang Hao.
Although she appeared calm, the Empress was actually quite nervous inside, and inwardly cursed this pervert for coming directly to her doorstep.
Having obtained information about Wang Hao from Karna, she immediately recognized him as the mysterious Eastern Heroic Spirit Servant the Black Faction, a terrifying being with incredibly abnormal strength.
Despite having Hanging Gardens of Babylon far exceeding all limits as her support, she still wasn't very confident that she could contend with this freak.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm not here to see all of you. I have some business to discuss with you privately!"
Finally, emphasizing the importance of speaking privately, Wang Hao glanced around and then walked towards a pavilion not far away.
As soon as I sat down in the pavilion, a Magecraft circle materialized, and a beautiful black figure emerged from it—the mistress of this Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Empress of Assyria.
Although she was quite wary of this perverted man, she still possessed the dignity of a queen. Since he had invited her, she naturally wouldn't refuse out of fear.
"You didn't tell your little Master when you came here, did you?"
Wang Hao casually took out a bottle of red wine from Darnic's collection, opened it, took out two wine glasses, and asked a casual question.
"Oh? Does your so-called transaction need to be done behind my Master?"
Taking the glass of red wine that had been poured, she swirled it and gazed at the man opposite her through the crimson liquid. A playful smile appeared on the Empress's lips; she had become somewhat interested in the so-called deal he was talking about.
"But we need to keep a low profile about him for now."
He nodded frankly; he would indeed have to keep his upcoming deal with the Empress a secret from Amakusa Shirou for the time being.
"Now you can speak!"
With an elegant snap of her fingers, the Empress sealed off all contact between this place and the outside world, signaling to Wang Hao that he could speak. But the next moment, she was stunned by Wang Hao's words.
"Empress, do you like Amakusa Shirou?"
