Infinite Simulation: From Konoha To Moon

Chapter 123: Liu Dong Temple

Following Meiyou's command, Hercules walked straight into the courtyard.

Naturally, he wasn't attacking Li Xiang and Astati, but the unexpectedly intruding Gilgamesh.

His massive body brought an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Ordinary servants would definitely find a way to avoid it.

But Gilgamesh had a faint smile on his face as he raised his hand.

Suddenly, several golden halos appeared above Hercules' head, and chains descended, entangling his limbs.

The Chains of Heaven.

A Noble Phantasm that increases in hardness the higher the divinity of the target being bound, it can be said to be one of the few countermeasures against divine weapons.

For Hercules, it was practically a death sentence.

Even with his infinite strength, he was now locked in place, unable to move an inch.

Gilgamesh's attack didn't end there.

Behind him, a golden light shone, and various strange weapons pierced through Hercules' body at an extremely fast speed.

The King's Treasure.

The prototype of all Noble Phantasms, the embryonic form of human inventions and treasures from ancient times to the present.

Although their true names were not revealed, with their sharpness alone, they were enough to break through Hercules' defense.

"Pitiful beast," Gilgamesh said with an indifferent expression.

If it were the Hercules with swordsmanship and consciousness, he might have spent some time fighting him.

"Hmm?"

Gilgamesh noticed the four people who came out of the room and quickly smiled.

"Ishtar, although this is an unexpected encounter, don't disappoint me."

He waved his hand.

The weapons that were originally flying towards Hercules now covered Li Xiang and the other four.

Astati threw three blue gems, and a violent magic power suddenly spread, blowing her clothes into a frenzy.

The sound of metal colliding constantly resounded.

Swords and blades rebounded one after another, deeply embedding themselves into the ground with tremendous force.

Gilgamesh raised an eyebrow.

Quite interesting.

In the instant he was evaluating, a silver-white longsword flickered and swiftly approached him.

Gilgamesh saw Li Xiang, who had a faint eye shadow, and was slightly taken aback.

"Daring to attack me, you mortals do have some courage."

He calmly took out a red longsword and blocked Li Xiang's Han sword.

An astonishing power spread.

Gilgamesh's gaze slightly narrowed. This mortal was not inferior to a Servant, and the sword was not bad either.

What was even stranger was that this sword seemed to be absent from his treasury.

Although there were swords of this type, there were no Seven Deadly Sins.

Unless it didn't belong to this world and had never appeared in history.

Gilgamesh's interest grew stronger, but he still resisted using the All-Knowing Star and Clairvoyance.

Exploring it himself clearly brought him more pleasure.

Li Xiang took a step back, gripping the longsword with both hands, and swung it again.

Once again, it was blocked.

But he wasn't discouraged.

Because he had a helper.

Hercules was bound by the Chains of Heaven and couldn't move, but Astati wasn't.

Seeing Li Xiang getting close, she didn't use gem magic and instantly appeared in front of Gilgamesh, kicking him away.

Li Xiang knew his Servant well and could already predict what would happen next, so he tightly gripped the longsword and silently took a half step forward.

"Still so rough, Ishtar," Gilgamesh said with a faint smile, as he swung his longsword like a hammer, striking her leg.

But at that moment, Astati twisted her waist, accelerated with her right leg, bypassed the longsword, and kicked him away.

It didn't take more than a second.

Li Xiang, who was prepared, rushed forward, the Han sword flew out of his hand like lightning, and smashed into Gilgamesh's motorcycle suit.

A faint golden light circulated.

The Han sword was ineffective, piercing the armor but being deflected back.

But Gilgamesh could only achieve the same.

He crashed into the wall, creating a huge pit.

"This is impossible!"

Gilgamesh climbed up from the ruins, his face looking grim.

According to reason, Ishtar shouldn't have such strength.

She couldn't have descended in her true form.

As a Servant, there are limits.

But he himself could be considered the pinnacle of Servants.

Astolfo had no interest in answering, and she approached again.

Gilgamesh reacted quickly, dozens of swords surged forward.

But they had no effect.

Astolfo treated them like ordinary arrows, easily knocking them away with punches and kicks.

Her right fist smashed into the gauntlet Gilgamesh used to block, and her left hand slapped his face.

Unimaginable strength seeped through his helmet.

Gilgamesh took flight once again.

Like a golden streak of light piercing through the wall.

"I've wanted to fight you for a long time, and today I finally get my wish."

A smile appeared at the corner of Astolfo's mouth as she said, "Consider this a lesson for the wise king in his old age."

But what awaited her was Gilgamesh's fury.

He had never experienced such humiliation before.

Dark red light appeared around him, constantly swirling as a tremendous magical power surged forth.

A crimson cylindrical sword floated in front of him.

Noble Phantasm, Enuma Elish.

Legend has it that when the heavens and earth were first separated, the gods used this sword to cut the world and create it.

In terms of power, it even surpasses Artoria's Excalibur, ranking at the pinnacle among many Noble Phantasms.

It is a rare Anti-World Noble Phantasm, meaning its target of attack is the entire world.

Once used, it means Gilgamesh is serious.

Although in the original work, he always waits until the last moment to get serious, but it is already too late.

Dim red filled the field of vision, space began to distort, and stars surrounded him.

Gilgamesh raised Enuma Elish and said, "Farewell, Ishtar."

"In that case, I'll be a bit more serious too."

Astolfo took out three Holy Grails.

Gilgamesh noticed the Holy Grails in her hand and couldn't help but be stunned.

In the next moment, a brilliant light turned into an endless universe.

"Your Enuma Elish can cut the world, but can it sever the galaxy?"

Astolfo raised her hand, and the image of a golden star appeared at her fingertips.

"You are not Ishtar!"

Gilgamesh finally activated his Clairvoyance and All-Knowing Star, instantly flooding his mind with information about Astolfo and Li Xiang's identities.

For a moment, he was speechless.

But there was no time to say anything else.

An endless burst of golden light.

As if the entire universe was roaring.

Gilgamesh turned into dust, not even leaving a drop of blood behind.

Astolfo reappeared.

Hercules, who had been bound by the Chains of Heaven, regained his ability to move.

But at this moment, Illya and Miyu had no courage to continue fighting.

They were pulled into the Noble Phantasm and witnessed that astonishing scene.

It was simply cheating.

How could a Servant with such power be summoned in the Holy Grail War?

No matter how you look at it, it feels strange.

Li Xiang put away the Han sword.

Originally, he had made a lot of preparations, but he never dreamed that the summoned Servant would be Astolfo.

As a result, he had been idle up until now.

This can also be considered a happy annoyance.

He noticed the expressions of the two little girls and couldn't help but smile.

Gilgamesh's death meant that the Holy Grail War was halfway over.

The remaining Servants were not true antagonists.

The main reason was that Astathis was too strong, making the Holy Grail War lose its suspense.

Li Xiang felt it was time to come clean and explain the situation to Illya.

Living room.

The artificial maid brought snacks and black tea.

Their attitude towards Li Xiang and Astathis also became more respectful.

"I come from the Clock Tower."

Li Xiang spoke up.

Even if Illya didn't have much common knowledge, she still knew the name of the Clock Tower.

And Miyu, not to mention, she had encountered Luvia and Rin Tohsaka from the Clock Tower in the original world.

"In the previous Holy Grail War, King El-Melloi participated as a Master and died. After that, the Clock Tower investigated the Holy Grail and found that it had been contaminated."

Li Xiang was referring to the plot of the former director of Chaldea.

It was because the Holy Grail was contaminated that he did not summon Solomon and also gave up on Chaldea's plan.

Illya and Miyu obviously understood the meaning of this sentence, their little faces showing surprise.

"Are you saying that we are doing useless work?"

Miyu couldn't help but ask, "But since it has already been contaminated, why can it still summon Servants?"

"Because its operation is normal."

Li Xiang explained, "But it turns any wish from positive to negative, for example, if you wish for world peace, it directly kills all humans and achieves peace."

"What about Illya?"

As a summoned Servant, the Holy Grail would grant her knowledge of the present world.

She knew about Illya's dire situation.

She wouldn't live for another year.

Originally, winning the Holy Grail War and making a wish would have been no problem.

But in this situation, if she wished for immortality, who knows if it would turn her into a demon or a vampire monster.

"There's no need to worry about that."

Astathis smiled and said, "I know a Crowned Magus named Aozaki Orange, she can help Illya change bodies."

Li Xiang was slightly taken aback.

Aozaki Orange still owed them a puppet.

Using it on Illya now would undoubtedly be feasible.

Astathis was a primordial goddess, she had her own simulator and didn't need a puppet.

"The Clock Tower's task for us is to dismantle the Holy Grail ritual and completely eliminate the Holy Grail War."

Li Xiang casually made up a reason.

Actually, it wasn't entirely made up.

The Clock Tower did say similar things, asking them to investigate the cause of King El-Melloi's death and understand the situation of the Holy Grail War.

As for Illya, she could return to her original family or go to the Clock Tower.

But Miyu and Heracles would lose their magical supply from the Holy Grail and would naturally find it difficult to survive.

And they were just Servants, not the original beings.

There was no need to forcefully keep them here.

After the matter was over, Li Xiang and Astathis left Einzbern Castle.

What Illya planned to do was her own business.

Taking advantage of the time now, she could chat with her rare best friend, Miyu.

Li Xiang didn't go directly back to the Phantom Mansion.

The place he wanted to go was the Church.

Although Kotomine Kirei had decent combat power, losing Gilgamesh meant losing his greatest ally.

With his personality, keeping him around would easily lead to trouble.

And Li Xiang felt that Matou Kariya might also be at the Church.

Fuyuki City was neither big nor small, and there were only a few special places.

No matter what Matou Kariya wanted to do, he needed magical energy.

And there were leylines beneath the Church.

Of course, the largest leylines were in Ryuudou Temple, where the core of the Holy Grail ritual was also located.

The Holy Church and the Phantom Ocean Mansion are backed by the same mountain range, not too far apart.

Because it was daytime, there was a relatively large crowd.

But the bus was too slow.

So Li Xiang enjoyed a real skyship.

He had previously ridden Marana, but they were all at low altitudes. This was his first time at high altitude.

It was quite interesting, like an open-top airplane.

"There's a smell of blood."

Astati stood in front of the Holy Church and said.

Li Xiang also caught a faint smell and was slightly startled, then walked straight in.

Traces of battle could be seen everywhere.

They followed the traces to the back of the Holy Church, a hillside, where they saw the body of Yan Fengqili and the murderer, Bazett.

She had many wounds on her body.

On the other hand, Scáthach looked as if she hadn't been in a battle.

Li Xiang easily guessed the reason.

Bazett found Yan Fengqili and had a one-on-one fight, ultimately killing him.

He tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Fortunately, Gilgamesh had left, otherwise who knows what problems there might have been.

"How did you guys come here?"

Bazett noticed the two of them and asked.

"We took care of his Servants, so we came to take care of him. We didn't expect you to beat us to it and save us the trouble."

Li Xiang smiled and asked again, "Besides Yan Fengqili, have you seen anyone else?"

"No."

Bazett answered.

Strange.

Where is this Tung Dirty Inkstone hiding?

Could it be Ryuudou Temple?

Li Xiang looked at Bazett and said, "You should go back to the Phantom Ocean Mansion and rest for a few days."

"What about you?"

"We'll go investigate the situation of the other Masters."

Li Xiang casually explained.

"By the way, didn't you go to Einzbern? How did you encounter Yan Fengqili's Servant?"

Bazett remembered the morning's conversation.

"Einzbern has a Master, and her Servant is of the Berserker class."

Li Xiang mentioned it briefly, "But the threat is already gone."

Bazett pondered for a moment, but didn't say anything else.

She had just fought a life-and-death battle with Yan Fengqili and was quite exhausted now.

If it weren't for her family's inherited Shindai dress, she might not have won.

Li Xiang and Astati took Marana to the next location.

Ryuudou Temple, the most important location in the original work, where many plotlines unfold.

The place where Kuzuki Souichirou resides.

But because he no longer has Medea, he is not a Master this time, so naturally he won't die because of it.

He used to be an assassin, but now he is a teacher at the school.

Li Xiang has also seen him twice, very strict.

Now it's daytime and he's teaching at school.

Ryuudou Temple seemed extremely quiet.

Abnormally quiet.

"It's Caster."

Astati said in a deep voice, "At this point, Ryuudou Temple has already turned into a magic workshop, far stronger than the Einzbern family's boundary, and it's difficult for any other magus besides the Servants to achieve this."

Li Xiang nodded.

In his perception, Ryuudou Temple and the entire mountain were enveloped in magic, becoming a whole.

Is it Red A?

Li Xiang was a bit uncertain.

Astati admitted that she had made some design flaws. She didn't think it through at first and only realized how powerful she was when she was writing the Holy Grail War, losing the suspense. If she wanted to change it, she definitely couldn't. Let's move on to the parallel world as soon as possible. The next world will be about Hokage ninjas.
