98. The benevolent Holy King, the Supreme Father God (please vote for recommendation! Please vote for the month!)

Skill·Divine Judgment

Conceptually, this skill is the embodiment of the Lord's will. Of course, it has nothing to do with the Lord's own thoughts. It is a special skill given to the Ruler by the Heroic Spirit Seat.

Settings are settings, reality is reality.

Being able to listen to the voice of the Lord and take action at any time - those with the [Revelation] skill. Among the many saints in the existing database, only Joan of Arc can do it.

Regardless of the setting, this is the skill.

Emperor Carl also has the skill of divine judgment, but his level is only B level, which is slightly lower than Joan of Arc's A level.

Ruler's Martha and St. George simply don't have one.

It is not so much about whether God pays attention to it, but rather that the person who possesses this skill must have had the experience of "sanctioning others as a god" before he will be given this skill by the Heroic Spirit Seat.

Joan of Arc directly heard the oracle's revelation and took action. Even if the Holy King had not heard it, this part of the process was definitely indispensable for the religious reform - that's probably it.

Although Dion bypassed the assimilation of the Holy King's voice from heaven, he could not bypass the divine judgment.

Saber's job profile will give the servant additional frontal combat effectiveness correction, but the characteristic of Ruler's job profile is not offensive, but "extremely hard".

After all, the setting is to be a heroic spirit similar to the 'Referee of the Holy Grail War'.

Witnessed Dion being defeated by Joan of Arc using this extremely reckless move that looked like a 'throw on the earth'. Dion was seriously injured when he fell into the pit, but Joan of Arc was unscathed and dragged the seriously injured Dion away. come out.

The battle is over.

Ophelia silently focused on her right eye.

Do you want to use this last trump card?

【1. Use】

【2.Continue to be patient】

【1D2=2】

Ophelia decided to continue to endure.

Looking at the situation again, she still has the power of the witch Lamia that she has not yet used. Besides, even if she is caught, there is no chance of a comeback.

The secret holy king uniformed by Atlas Academy does not know that as long as he has the skill of [Rain of Isis], he will not be affected by the assimilation of the sound of the sky.

This can be regarded as a flaw of [Sound of Heaven Assimilation]. Although this skill is despicable and shameless brainwashing, its effect classification is indeed not brainwashing.

If it is really brainwashed, it can be seen at a glance whether it is controlled by brainwashing, but this is not the case with Tiansheng Assimilation.

Rather than saying it is brainwashing and controlling, it is better to say that it forcibly increases the target's 'favorability' towards the Holy King.

Different people have different expressions of "high favorability".

For example, if a tsundere girl says "I hate you!", do you think this means a high favorability score or a low favorability score?

It is because of this that the Holy King actually does not know whether all the people under his command have been assimilated and controlled by the sound of heaven.

As long as the Rain of Isis is not exposed, it is still easy to pretend.

(Compared to Su Xiaoqiang, Lucy is too dangerous to be alone. Sure enough, I still stay by her side to protect her and wait for the opportunity.)

After Ophelia's eyes glanced at the khaki cat with big ears held in Lucy's arms, the magic eye user was stunned for a moment, seeming to have discovered something, but chose to remain silent for the time being.

that's all.

Lucy, Ophelia, and Dion are in captivity.

Relying on Miss He's super running ability, Su Xiaoqiang has successfully reunited with the Demon God Mozart, Lancelot and others. There is also a rather unexpected person among these people.

The last witch, Marie Antoinette, the Witch of Greed, is also there.

On the contrary, Prelati ran away somewhere.

It is a pity that because of the music magic of the devil Mozart, Mary broke free from the power of original sin early. However, just like Alta was rescued prematurely by Lu Mingfei, which resulted in insufficient blackening of 'jealousy', The witch's power cannot be exerted.

The same goes for Mary who breaks free.

Throughout Marie Antoinette's life, she may have gone dark in her later years, but it was the young Marie who met Mozart, and the heroic spirit Marie who appears here at this time was also at this stage. .

To put it bluntly, although she is a greedy witch, she cannot exert the power of greed in her body.

Most of the witches are like this, except for those who specifically correspond to the rage and gluttony of Michael and Gabriel.

Although Gabriel has either become a cute character or is always used as a villain in modern stories, Gabriel, who symbolizes objective and ruthless justice, will not participate in evil things.

It is better to say that Gabriel's situation is normal. It is hard to say whether Michael's gentleness and kindness belong to the angel Michael or to Giorgios as the prototype human body.

The escape group who fled all the way also discovered something.

They discovered that the 'edge of the world' appeared within the range surrounded by the mobile holy capital city walls within their field of vision.

What was originally outside the walls of the Mobile Holy Capital is now nothing but nothingness, unable to leave the coverage of the Mobile Holy Capital.

Exactly at this time.

The communication between Su Xiaoqiang and Chaldea was restored.

At this time, Lu Mingfei was sealed into a stone statue and fell to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.

And Sariel possessed Alta again. Although it was obvious that Sariel was very friendly to 'Lucifer (Lu Mingfei)' and almost wanted to save him, he still obeyed. Obey the Holy King's order.

This is somewhat different from the biblical record. The moon was a symbol of demonic nature in ancient times, as was Sariel, the moon angel with the 'evil eye'. Depending on the version, she was one of the seven demon kings of hell and one of the seven archangels of heaven.

He has fallen to heaven, but not completely. From time to time, he still makes a cameo appearance in the army of heaven.

The truly decisive change occurred at this time.

Mary couldn't even resist. The angel who had been turned into a witch was inside her body - the 'generous' angel corresponding to greed. Raphael was dragged out by the Holy King and returned to the Holy King.

Not just ‘generous’ ‘Raphael’.

‘Integrity’ ‘Raguire’

'Ray Miller' of 'Hope'

‘Uriel’ of ‘Justice’

‘Tolerant’ ‘Sariye’

All five angels appeared next to the giant god body in the Holy City.

The 'Michael' of 'Courage' stood silently beside the Holy King himself in the form of a phantom, appeared on the huge projection screen facing Chaldea, and appeared on the right hand of the Holy King himself. side.

Finally, finally - as the commander-in-chief of all the angel legions, after Lucifer, he is the real commander-in-chief of the angel legions in heaven.

‘Gabriel’ of ‘Temperance’

The left hand of God, the power of God, the cold and stern Gabriel also appeared directly above the angel army.

in other words.

Even Gabriel recognized the Holy King.

The seven archangels have all recognized the Holy King's control.

The situation between the escape team and the outside world has also been confirmed.

Although the escape team could still see the sky above their heads, it was no longer on earth, but in a different world called [Paradise].

From a Chaldean perspective, on a physical level, they were in the body of the Holy City Titan.

Although it is not an inherent barrier, the actual effect is almost the same, almost no different from another world.

After sealing Lu Mingfei, the Holy King did not make things difficult for Chaldea. Instead, like the enemy villain at the end of every story, he revealed all the contents of his plan so far.

The cause of everything stems from the "inaction" of the Demon God Danterian, one of the seventy-two Demon Gods who holds the Holy Grail.

To put it simply, it is fishing.

She summoned Emperor Karl and told him:

"Whatever you want to do, do what you want to do."

"Anyway, no matter what you do or not, no matter what you do, as long as you exist, as long as you take action, it is a distortion of history, and our goal has been achieved."

After saying this, Danterian threw the Holy Grail in his hand to the Holy King. At the same time, he gave him the knowledge he needed according to the Holy King's request, and then ran away.

At this time, the decisive 'difference in understanding' between the Holy King and other Heroic Spirit Servants emerged.

Chaldea has met quite a few Heroic Spirit Servants so far.

Because of the help of the Alaya Consciousness, Chaldea, who passed the trial of the Guardian King Arthur, became the savior of human history and began his journey. This news was broadcast to all the heroic spirits by the Alaya Consciousness at the first opportunity.

What is the attitude of the heroic spirits who know this?

Mainly divided into two types.

First, they are not interested in the life and death of human history, because they know that there are countless parallel worlds in the world, and destroying just one of them is enough. Even if they do nothing, countless parallel worlds will be destroyed every moment, which is not bad. this one

In this case, unless there are other reasons, although such heroic spirits know the identity of the Chaldean savior, they will not actively act. Instead, they will continue to act as they please and follow their own interests and hobbies.

The second, and relatively more common type, is those who respond to the call of the Alaya Consciousness, wait for the arrival of the Chaldean Master, or take the initiative to find the Chaldean Master, and cooperate with these saviors to eliminate distortions and correct peculiarities. point.

What about the Holy King?

Neither is the Holy King.

First of all, the Holy King is also eager to repair history and save the world. This is for sure.

But the Holy King had no intention of cooperating with Chaldea - to be more precise, he did not intend to use Chaldea as the leader and allow himself to be directed by the Chaldean Master.

Why?

Is it because the Holy King saw through the darkness of the Chaldean organization's past?

No, it's not.

Rather, given the character of the Holy King, even if he knows about the darkness, as long as Chaldea is an organization that truly works to save the world, the Holy King will forgive them with his own mercy.

but.

"——It's too heavy. The weight of this salvation should not be borne by young children like you."

The benevolent Holy King sighed.

"You are the saviors, chosen by destiny, the appointed saviors, and the protagonists of the true Grand Order story. With the help of fate, you will face crises again and again, and again and again, you will be guided by fate. With the help of various companions, he got through the difficulties dangerously.”

"It's like being the protagonist of a story."

main character.

The Holy King emphasized this point repeatedly.

"But this is wrong. Magicians, we all know whether there is a 'true destiny' in this world. There is no need to fool those children."

This world has mystery. It is a mysterious and highly developed world. Even if there have been ups and downs, it is indeed a world that continues to develop in a spiral (although it may self-destruct due to excessive development, such as "Steel Earth" and "Moon Coral") s future).

But precisely because it ignores the timeline and encompasses the past, present and future of the mysterious and highly developed world, there is no 'real destiny' that ordinary people recognize in this world.

The evil dragon Favna has appeared, so the legendary dragon slayer Siegfried or Sigurd who killed her will definitely appear, and will definitely destroy the enemy as fate has shown?

--no

"There is no 'real destiny' in this world. Generally speaking, what we call destiny is 'alaya consciousness'. Alaya consciousness is not a super-standard existence that towers over everything. Her power comes from human beings themselves. , derived from the more objective - 'the number of human beings surviving'"

"The greater the number of humans, the more powerful the Alaya Consciousness, which is the ultimate protective force of the human species, is. However, now that humanity is incinerated, the Demon God King has confirmed this, causing a large number of human beings to die, and the result is The power of Alaya consciousness has now declined to the extreme."

——That is to say

"As long as the evil dragon appears, the dragon slayer will definitely rise to the occasion and defeat the evil dragon with the blessing of fate?"

"Of course the Alaya Consciousness of the past could do this kind of thing."

"But the current Alaya Consciousness is not good. The Alaya Consciousness has even declined to the point that even if Fafna appears, it will not be able to accurately summon Siegfried or Sigurd. Instead, it will cast a vague net like a wide net. 'Summon heroic spirits with elements related to dragon slayers' and bet on whether you can draw Siegfried or Sigurd."

"How declining is the Alaya consciousness now? How weak is the destiny force that protects the human species now?"

--answer

"It's not even as good as the mass-produced Holy Grail of the Demon King in my hand."

Rather, it would be better to say that the massacre of the human species across dimensions and time - the incineration of human nature itself is to rob the power of the Alaya Consciousness.

"To put it bluntly, Alayaji, the fate of the protagonist who protects the story, has become too weak to support your 'certain victory'."

"All your victories are the result of your own efforts."

"Without the powerful protection of Alaya Consciousness, the weaker the savior, the more ordinary the savior will be, because the enemies attracted by the chain summons will be weaker. This is why King Arthur stopped you in the first place and gave you a full trial. "

The Holy King's words clearly meant something.

"What Alaya can do now is to face different enemies and draw a few helpers for you depending on luck. Although you are in the position of the protagonist of the story, she cannot even ensure victory. The balance is tilted in your favor, let alone guiding you to victory.”

"After this, your adventure will be in chaos. The development of the story is like a dice thrown by God. No one knows whether it will be difficult or easy. There are no guarantees."

--but.

"But that doesn't matter anymore, because Yu's plan has been successful."

Yes, the Holy King's plan succeeded.

"Using the knowledge gained from the trade with the Demon Goddess, Yu formulated this plan, taking advantage of the connection between angels and dragons, and the 'dragon phenomenon' fostered by the Hundred Years' War, to successfully cause the angels to fall, and through the help of the Witch of Despair, Through the battle, we successfully collected enough pure 'positive emotions' to turn into faith."

"——You should have heard of this, right?"

"The Lord is omniscient and omnipotent. All things in this world, good or bad, are handled by the Lord. Even the Black Death itself is a trial given by the Lord to mankind."

"If you think about it this way, the most crucial part of the Bible story, Lucifer's fall from heaven and the battle between heaven, wasn't everything done by the Lord who commanded all the angels?"

"Lucifer's fall from heaven was necessary and a necessary evil."

"Of course, these are just human interpretations of biblical stories. What did the Lord Himself think? That doesn't matter at all."

"Because the Lord doesn't care. The Lord doesn't care about the life and death of mankind. The Lord doesn't care about the destruction of civilization. The Lord doesn't care at all about what humanity burns. He only cares about what clothes Joan of Arc is wearing today."

"Instead of being a majestic omniscient and omnipotent God, it is better to say that the Lord is playing a game developed by the development of civilization. As a player, the Lord will only care about the things he likes, and will not care about other things. Even if It’s what I’m doing now, and he won’t be angry because of it, but will think, ‘This development is interesting’.”

"Even for Jeanne who is cared for by him, the Lord at this moment may just be thinking, 'The evil fallen saint controlled by brainwashing is unfolding so well!', 'Come on, my Jeanne! You can use your own will. Get out of control!’ Something like that.”

The Chaldeans were dumbfounded by the holy king's speech.

Although heroic spirits exist beyond the timeline, theoretically speaking, they may know modern knowledge, but this is too much.

It leaves people speechless.

"That's it."

The Holy King concluded:

"The Lord doesn't care, so as long as seemingly reasonable conditions are met, the angels will voluntarily be dominated by Yu and regard Yu as their master."

"The Lord doesn't care, so I just have to do what I should do. Destiny is on your side, but I don't have the power to support you. As a holy king, as an emperor, as the father of Europe, I cannot bear such heavy pressure with peace of mind. Put the blame on you."

"So Yu planned all of this. Almost everything in this singularity, almost all the joys and sorrows, were secretly manipulated by Yu, just for this moment."

"I divided this small singularity world into two parts. Inside the walls of the Holy City filled with loyal believers is [Heaven], and outside the walls filled with terrifying dragons is [Hell]."

"Then, as the mastermind behind the scenes, Yu started this [War in Heaven] on the grounds that [it was necessary]."

"The duel between the princes of light and darkness, Lucifer's fall from heaven, and all the angels are controlled by Yu. In this way, all of Yu's plans are completed."

"Originally, if the Alaya Consciousness had not been burned by human reason and weakened to the extreme, she only needed to stand up and say 'You are not!' to destroy this spell."

"However, everything is under Yu's control. The existence of light and darkness corresponds to each other, and each proves their existence. In the end, when Michael's [god-like (person similar to God)] characteristics are After I obtained it, the difference between Yu and God has blurred to the point where it can be ignored.”

"Angels and heaven are both controlled by Yu. People who are protected by Yu, you can enter heaven and transform into angels."

"So, I gained this authority——"

"No"

"It should be said that I and the tens of thousands of angels present have [proven] that I am - the 'Universal God (God)'"

"in this way."

Then, the Holy King revealed the biggest ideological difference between himself and other heroic spirits who would normally act to help Chaldea.

"I have gained enough power to challenge the Demon King!"

"O good people of Chaldea"

"We are by no means enemies, but like-minded companions. You should stand by Yu's side and become Yu's angels!"
