Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

"Really... You actually came here alone to sulk, are you a child?"

"…snort!"

Seeing this saint squatting next to the flower bed like a little girl, Shinji walked over helplessly and squatted down as well:

"You want some donuts? They seem to be called Gogo or something..."

"..."

Joan of Arc stared in disbelief at the donut that was held in front of her face. It was already this late and she was still busy buying snacks?

Looking at the other person's face again, there was no trace of guilt, and there seemed to be food residue hanging from the corner of his mouth...

"I don't want to eat... woo!"

Jeanne turned her head away and was about to refuse, but a donut was forcefully stuffed into her mouth. She took a bite and it was quite sweet...

wrong!

"What are you doing?"

"When you're in a bad mood, just eat something sweet... Miss Saint, don't waste food."

"…Don't you know who made me feel bad?"

"This... How about I go buy you something else?"

"…No."

Looking at the donut in her hand, Jeanne's eyes wandered, and then she asked without raising her head:

"What is your purpose in snatching the Greater Holy Grail?"

"…I told you, of course, we have to stop the world from being destroyed."

"Don't lie to me anymore! No matter how you look at it now, you're the one who wants to destroy the world!"

"…Why do you say that? What did you see?"

"..."

Jeanne folded her arms and looked away:

"That black mud... I felt a huge amount of malice from it. It is definitely not something that a normal person can control."

"And you just left it there and let it spread!"

...Hiss, now that he said this, he suddenly remembered that in order to make the other side come to him quickly, he seemed to have placed the black mud on Tuliface's side.

It’s been a while since I last talked about this. Let me see what’s going on?

Then he closed his eyes, feeling the connection of the black mud in his body, and his consciousness gradually returned to the battlefield...

"!?"

"Fuck!"

……

at the same time

[Thousand World Tree] The alarms in the castle sounded loudly, and some of the remaining androids were rushing to move some giant machines...

Avisbronn stood by and supervised, while glancing nervously at the black mud that was about to spread outside the castle.

"What on earth is this thing? It can't even be blocked by the magic barrier!"

"teacher!"

A yellow-haired kid ran over and shouted to Avisbronn:

"The device has almost been transferred. Lord Danic asked us to gather at the destination as soon as possible!"

"I understand."

the other side

A huge sky garden floated above the black mud, and Amakusa Shiro led all the remaining servants of the red team to rush towards the Thousand Worlds Tree.

"Are we really going to form an alliance with the Black Party? Are you so sure this isn't a trap?"

"You worry too much, Semiramis. We can no longer scheme against each other in this situation..."

On the screen in front of Amakusa and the Empress, there was a vast expanse of black mud below, like an ocean, with waves surging like foaming waves.

"Still can't find the location of the Holy Grail?"

"Nothing at all. Just a lot of weird magic."

"Is that so? As expected, we can only act according to his rules. What a scary man..."

In the hall below, the other servants of the Red Team were leaning on the railing of the observation deck, looking at the spectacular sight below.

"Wow! This is amazing. Who knows what will happen if I accidentally fall down?"

Achilles sighed, and the little sun Karna beside him remained expressionless, but this did not mean that he had a way to resist the black mud below.

This kind of thing that can directly attack the spiritual base naturally exudes an aura that makes their servants feel dangerous.

Just like when humans see magma, even if they have never come into contact with it, they will still be scared away by the heat wave.

"This is... the symphony of world destruction! The evil man who can drive away all the heroes has appeared. What follows is the struggle of ordinary people and the birth of heroes!"

"Ah! This is really great. I never thought I would be able to see such a gorgeous plot after death. My literary cells are about to explode!"

"Hey, hey, don't be so excited, okay? We might die this time."

"In order to witness the birth of an epic, I have no complaints even if I have to sacrifice myself. Besides, we are already dead souls, so what is there to fear?"

"Oh! I didn't expect you to be so conscious of what you say. You're making me so angry!"

“…almost there.”

After hearing Karna's reminder, the two looked down and saw that they had left the black mud area. The grassland below was covered with magic barriers and physical dams.

Looking further ahead, a castle-like building appeared on a hill in the distance. Although it was much smaller than the headquarters castle of the Thousand Worlds Tree, it was still quite imposing.

"Is that the new base of the Black team? I never thought that those who were fighting each other a few days ago would gather together to discuss cooperation..."

“…This is the battlefield!”

……

Shinji was stunned when he felt the black mud that was as big as a small city. He didn't use much strength...

Now, he has turned the Holy Grail War into a large singularity. Does this count as a hindrance to the power of inhibition?

"…Did your [Revelation] see it?"

"What else? Do you really have to wait until you destroy the world before you tell me?"

...Misunderstanding! I actually said it accidentally...

But now that things have come to this, it seems there is no point in explaining it further.

"So...what's your choice?"

"Stay here and help me, or go and ignore it as a Ruler... or go to the other side and become my enemy."

"!"

Upon hearing this, Jeanne immediately stood up. Was he going to confront her? Sure enough, everything before was a lie!

"…If you still have dangerous thoughts, then I must stop you, so…"

Joan of Arc wanted to say something but stopped herself. In fact, in her heart, she had already regarded the other party as a confidant and even a senior.

But what she saw in the [Revelation] was a dark world... God was constantly instructing her to stop the other party, just like he led the French people a thousand years ago...

"Joan, I won't say much now, but you just need to know one thing: I have never deceived you from the beginning, and I have no intention of deceiving you."

"Saving the world is indeed my goal. Although something went wrong in the process... I don't intend to destroy the world."

After saying that, he turned around and no longer looked at the other person.

"Although I hope you can come to help me, I don't have the right to choose for you. Everything from now on depends on you..."

"Don't rush to make an answer, just follow your heart."

"..."

"Oh, by the way, let me say one more thing. No one can force you to do something, not even God. And... no matter which path you choose, we can still be friends next time we meet!"

"wait…"

Jeanne raised her head and wanted to say something, but the man in front of her had disappeared, as if he was avoiding her...

"It's like this again..."

I have become a different person again... Maybe I am really not fit to be a so-called saint...

With her hands clasped together, the girl looked up at the sky in confusion:

"Oh my god...what should I do..."

At this moment, in Joan of Arc's subconscious, Black Joan raised her eyebrows with a surprised expression on her face, as if she had watched some melodramatic Korean drama.

"This stupid village girl is hopeless. I don't know what that broken god is worth worshipping... What do you think?"

"Eh? I...I...I don't know either..."

Leticia shook her head in panic. This was her first time experiencing such a thing... and this Miss Jeanne was so powerful and a little scary...
