Artoria the Big Liar

It was only at this time that I realized that in this world line, because the concept of "hero" I left behind was far from the "partner of justice" that Emiya Kiritsugu had before, Shirou and Sakura ended up walking together , Tohsaka Rin is still single, and I don't know when she will find her own home.

What can I say about this?I can only smile.

"Rin, let's talk about business." Without saying a word, Scatha had already finished the cup of black tea.

Rin Tohsaka sighed, sat down helplessly, stirred the black tea with a teaspoon, and explained his intentions: "It's like this...how should I put it...Although Lancer didn't object to the change of the plan, she still wanted to use the soldier's The identity ends the Holy Grail War. That is to say, if you want to obtain her spiritual core, you can only defeat her by fighting."

"That is to say, continue the single challenge from last night?" I asked.

"No. It's still a single challenge, but the opponent is not Morrigan." Scathach's tone was still so clean, "The servants summoned in violation of the rules do not have the spiritual foundation of the followers. Therefore, there is always only one servant of Jona Amano ——It’s you. Mithra, you are now the destined owner, and I’m curious about the extent of your true strength.”

"Then tonight?" I suggested.

"I can't wait any longer. This era is very boring, and weapons completely suppress one's courage and force. No matter how powerful a warrior is, he is fragile in front of war machines and is not worth mentioning. Weapons and martial arts have become a kind of entertainment, and It is not a necessary skill for survival and war." As he said, Scathach's eyes fixed on me. "So, I want to use your swordsmanship to know where the future of mankind is leading and how you will lead and control mankind."

"Swordsmanship..." After thinking for a while, I gave an answer: "Well, I hope you will not be too disappointed. Whether it is King Arthur or the Eternal King, my ruling methods are disgraceful. Here comes happiness."

"It's not that I haven't fought before, I will know when the time comes." Skadi replied.

Sister Wang wanted to stop her, but I gently stretched out my hand to prevent her from changing my decision.

Sure enough, even though I'm wearing a maid outfit, the final decision on such a big matter is still in my hands.

As usual, the four of us took the Black Flame King to Enzang Mountain—or, starting from Enzang Mountain, the open-pit mine-like circular pit formed by the holy sword that was completely destroyed.From the looks of it now, this place is a natural giant arena.

The Black Flame King was still the same, like a combination of a jet fighter and a thin dragon.I don't know if Jeanna deliberately suppressed its evolution, or its evolution has come to an end, but in short, there is still no change-this is enough, and it arrived at the destination in less than 3 minutes.After waiting here for more than ten minutes, Rin Tohsaka and Scatha finally came to me.

"To be honest, I hate guys like you very much." Skaha said bluntly. "Among all the tyrants, you are the most special. You have designed everyone's identity, future, taboos, and things to aspire to. The whole country seems to be prosperous, but everything is under your control You are not a spider, but you are better than a spider. Everyone in your country is manipulated, imprisoned, and deprived of the right to develop a future like a puppet. Although you have assumed this future yourself, once you When you die, that country is like a mansion that has been bombed at a fixed point, and it will be reduced to ruins between Xumi."

Scathach paused again, squinting his crimson eyes, unable to hide his disgust: "King Arthur's life is a preview of Mithra. Humanity chose you, the world chose you, but I don't like you. Because Yoshikawa used the mask of Dionysus, and you tried to destroy it with the greatest firepower without asking the cause and effect. Because your little wife is a demon and needs to devour the soul, you fed her the spirit core of the servant, Ignoring the potential hazards—seemingly controlling everything, but everything is your toy after all."

"Pretty offensive remarks..." I was still wearing a maid outfit, smiled and clapped my hands, "Indeed, from your point of view, I am indeed such a guy who has no bottom line—especially recently, my performance is more than Xia Jie, Shang Zhou, and Zhou You are even more exaggerated. Rang Na’s potential harm is much greater than that of Mei Xi, Da Ji, and Bao Si. It’s perfectly normal for you to hate me and be hostile to me. However, the Kingdom of Shadows Queen, I have a question for you—what does this have to do with you?"

Scathach's eyes were almost narrowed.Her whole body was tense, ready to charge like a leopard at any moment.

Too naive, without any political literacy, don't even understand the most basic theories, just chattering there.

After all, most of the "righteous people" who don't know what "order" is are like this. They are full of anger and think that they are doing the right thing. chain".As a result, in the end, they couldn't give a better alternative, nor could they point out a way out to the future. They brought nothing but devastated destruction and endless chaos, and those wanton aggression " "Evil Nation" is all the same.

I don't want to talk to her about this.I am not her mentor, nor her real mother. I have no obligation to explain from scratch what is society, what is politics, and what is human relationship with people.Even if I explained, she would only think that I was deceiving her, that it was the sophistry of a tyrant.

"What does the Kingdom of Albion look like, what does the future of human beings look like, and what does it have to do with you, the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows? Are you my subject? Are you my family? I need to govern the country and society as you What do you expect? If so, why didn’t you hide in the Kingdom of Shadows and didn’t come out, why didn’t you compete with me last night for the position of leader?” I smiled contemptuously, thinking of the queen of the Kingdom of Shadows in my heart. The evaluation dropped to an extremely low level, "Emiya Kiritsugu was once like you, and it took me a month to convince him. Now, I have no interest, and no reason, to explain the most complicated part of human wisdom just for you .”

"Actually, it's not that complicated." Behind me, my palace minister offered me support: "It's very simple? There was an experiment decades ago. An iron cage was placed on the ground, making it impossible for the pumpkin to grow. As a result, the root system of the pumpkin expanded on a large scale, plundering all water and nutrients, and forcing other normal pumpkins in the experimental field to wither and die. In the end, the pumpkin The shell of the human body is completely fibrous, the inside is completely inedible, and the iron cage is about to be broken—this is the case for the most basic life, let alone the Britons who have been deprived of hope, and future humans who must face the god of disaster?"

I raised my eyebrows, and I was very happy when I looked at Mei Lin.This explanation is really good, even a fool can understand it.

Sister Wang, who has lived with me for 14 years and has grown politically mature, has also made her voice heard.

"Right or wrong? Black or white? Scatha, you're such a cunt who hides in a dark corner. You really are a reckless woman who can't read books, and you only have muscles in your brain. You still have to calm down." , take a good look at this world. If Artoria is really a faint and tyrant in the traditional sense, how can the world and the restraining force look up to her? If she really deprives people of their future, how can people Maybe follow her? After all..."

"Sister Wang, there is no need to say anything more." I interrupted Sister Wang's sarcasm and ridicule. "Skathach, all you want is a good battle, right? I'll give it to you—and at the same time, the death experience you expect."

Skaha snorted coldly, and an identical scarlet spear appeared in his left hand, taking a defensive posture, ready to fight.

I stretched out my hand, and materialized the holy sword with a total length of 1.3 meters, bound by thirteen vows, but still as black as ink.The dark magic power in the body surged outward, revealing the evil dragon armor shaped by the scabbard.Then, these two strands of the purest darkness burned themselves like coal, like a fire offering, bursting into purple flames that shot straight into the sky, forming a line of the tallest and brightest lighthouse.

Without words or actions, I swung my sword and rushed towards Scathach, towards my own future.

Even with a short body of 1.5 meters in height, like a giant tens of meters high, he easily wields the sacred sword of the oath that has been stretched to tens of meters in length.Even with a delicate body weighing only 42 kilograms, every step shakes the earth, like an erupting volcano, like a monstrous wave, sweeping everything.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Since my real name was dissolved, my Servant Spirit Base has been completely changed.

It is no longer King Arthur, but Mithra, the "Covenanter" who transcends the gods, the destined lord.

Therefore, like two scabbards that exist at the same time, I transcend time and space itself and bring the power of the future here.

Scathach lowered her head quickly, like an agent in a movie who avoided laser detection and escaped the attack of the "Holy Sword". Although she was burned by purple flames, her body was covered with the original defensive rune, which blocked the flames. The damage is completely blocked.

But also because of this evasive action, Scathach's figure was bowed and fixed.

I seized the opportunity, and the holy sword shrank immediately, pouring out pure impact magic power, bombarding the ground, and swept past her position.

Scathach did not stay on the ground, but flew in the air, avoiding the overflowing torrent of dark magic power with incredible movements.This kind of dodging is almost causal, even if a nuclear bomb explodes in her position, she can still dodge it by moving.

But in the end, all Scathach can do is dodge.Since Jeanne's magic power has overflowed, I squandered it without mercy, every blow is a small release of the holy sword, and every blow is equivalent to the power of an air-to-surface missile.

The earth exploded one after another, the ground was devastated, and the purple flames dyed everything in the field of vision with a strange color.

Scathach is still avoiding, but there are more and more purple fires on the ground, more and more pits and gravel, and the terrain is becoming more and more complicated. The space she can hide from is becoming more and more limited.As long as I blow it up for another 10 minutes, she will no longer have a chance to escape, she will be swallowed by the flames, and the unnecessary parts will be burned away, leaving only the spirit core.

Then, there is only one strategy left for her.

Like scarlet lightning, one of the two guns was thrown at me.

After using the spirit base of the gods, she fully released the power of the treasure without releasing her real name.

Sister Wang once said that the Spear of Deaththorn is a degraded version of the "Declaration of the Great God (Gungnir)".The Great God's declaration is to use information to interfere with cause and effect in order to achieve a sure hit.

However, my existence itself is the anchor point of fate and human reason, and my existence reflects the past and the future at the same time. This kind of must-hit shooting gun is completely ineffective for me, and I naturally restrain this weapon.

Raising my left hand, like another fate, I held this spear in my hand.

The scarlet magic power exploded on the gun, and the tip of the gun was always pointed at my heart, trying to pierce it, and then exploded from my whole body like a thorn burst.

However, the scarlet spear was soon stained with dark red lines.

"Click!"

The spear cracked along the lines and fell to the ground like a broken red crystal.

If I follow the previous strategy, I will pause and make the other party panic or angry through speech skills.

But just recalling the fragments of those words just now, I gave up this plan - there is really nothing to talk about.

——Then let’s kill him.

Considering the sequelae of de-strength, I did not release the holy sword, but displayed the holy gun "Destiny" in my left hand.

The left arm is straight, no need to aim, no need to confirm the safety, no need to fully adjust the posture, I directly pull the trigger.

The magic power intertwined with pitch black, dark red and bright purple condensed into a magic warhead, which flew towards Scathach at twenty times the sound, announcing the "judgment of fate".

A spear aims at the heart, and a bullet aims at the head.

Scathach narrowly dodged the bullet.The warhead collided with the hill that was broken into a pile of stones, and an astonishing explosion erupted in an instant.Then the earth continued to tremble, and all the cut stones nearby shook and rolled down, comparable to a small earthquake.Then, a small mushroom cloud comparable to a tactical nuclear bomb rises from the ground, and the excess heat cavitates into damaging winds.

However, there was no blood, no holes, and the intact Scathach fell down like a puppet with disconnected strings.

Although I don't want to admit it, after my real name is dissolved, my strength is already comparable to the main god of the Age of Gods.

Exhaling lightly, I walked forward slowly, preparing to recover Scathach's spiritual core.

"Lancer! Stand up, stand up! Your wish has not been fulfilled! You haven't lost yet!"

A familiar voice came from behind me—Rin Tohsaka's voice.

She activated the last Command Spell, using the crystallization of modern magic.

In order to prevent the spiritual core from dissipating immediately, I deliberately did not kill him immediately, which instead gave the opponent the means to fight back.

Although she felt a little unhappy, Rin did nothing wrong - she was just fulfilling the responsibilities and obligations of the Master.

Soon, Scathach's body stood up like a puppet being pulled up.

Although there was still only one spear left, she still straightened her posture—a defensive posture, her eyes fixed on me.

It was only at this moment that I remembered her longing, her desire.

——She just wanted to learn about my swordsmanship.The simplest and purest swordsmanship.

As the queen of the land of shadows, she was excluded from the outside world, and she lived a life of no fun except fighting.

So she longed for death.It is not a death like cannon fodder that was blasted into slag by the firepower, but a duel head-on with dignity, and a death like a soldier.It is precisely because of the emergence of modern artillery and equipment that the value of soldiers has been reduced to pure numbers, and the form of fighting has been completely changed. She hates this era and finds it boring.

It's just that the previous conversation was really unpleasant to me, so I forgot about it.

So, now, what do I do?

——After hesitating for a while, I realized that I was actually a person who didn't know what the word "rejection" meant.

I hate this woman, and this woman hates me, but that is no reason for me to reject this duel application.

As I loathe the Britons, so the Britons loathe me, but that is no excuse for my rejection of King Arthur's fate.

"Then it will be as you wish. I hope this death experience will give you a good experience."

After finishing speaking, I want to remove the armor, after all, this is too out of specification.With this impeccable armor, it is impossible for Scathach to defeat me.

But at that moment before the release, I hesitated—all my Arthurian life, except when I was alone, I had always presented myself in armor.As a result, there is no record of other clothes in my servant spiritual foundation.And my current clothes are maid clothes.It would be disrespectful to Scathach to fight in such indecent clothes.

"I'm sorry, Lancer. I have no choice but to fight in armor."

"This kind of trivial matter is fine! It's time to show off your sword skills, Mithra!"

That's right, I have already destroyed one of her spears, which is an unfair situation.

The holy sword stands by his side, facing upwards.I took a step and ran, like a shooting star, charging towards Skaha.

When I came to her, the deaththorn spear stabbed at me fiercely.In the blink of an eye, the holy sword waved and pushed the spear away, and I managed to get close.But Scathach also retreated at the same time, keeping a relative distance from me.The scarlet spear and the pitch-black holy sword kept colliding, sparking sparks brought by the huge force.

No matter what type of weapon or genre, there are only three crucial points in melee weapon combat-speed, strength and distance control.Scathach's speed is better than mine, and my strength far exceeds hers, so the final competition is to grasp the distance.

Scathach kept retreating,

I keep going.The tip of the spear stabs at the moment of retreat, and the blade of the sword slashes at the moment of advancement.

Our engagements are like storms, easily tearing apart the terrain.

The loud noises of actions exceeding the speed of sound came one after another, one after another, as if a string of firecrackers were ringing.

When each other's martial arts reached the peak, sword and spear skills lost their meaning and became the most basic war of attrition.

What we are competing for is no longer who is more skilled, but whose stamina is exhausted first and who will make mistakes first due to other factors.

The control of steps, the mastery of breathing, the concentration of the mind, the magic flames on the ground, the blowing of the wind, every external cause will lead to a complete defeat.

The whole process was boring and long, and because of the super sense acquired over a long period of time, the seconds felt like years.

Scathach gradually fell into decline.At first it was imposing, but her attacks were no longer fierce.Then there is the energy, the excessive concentration and nervousness made her character make a mistake, and she just dodged my attack by relying on her instinctive martial arts.Finally, there is physical strength. Tohsaka Rin’s magic power supply is no problem, but the difference in strength makes her wrists damaged every time she blocks, and every time she dodges, it puts a burden on her knee joints, and her movements become more and more serious. stiff.

In the end, when Scathach's stabs were all deformed, the holy sword was no longer purely slashing, stabbing and blocking, and finally brought skills.

While parrying, the arc-shaped guard and sword body immediately jam the gun body.With my left arm, I pushed the holy sword down and pressed it hard.The Deaththorn gun immediately bent downward, and Skaha wanted to control the body of the gun to slide out along the gauntlet, but the potential energy of the deformation of the gun body and my own strength made Skaha lose control of the weapon.

The legs jumped forward, and the holy sword pointed at the ground leaned towards Scathach's abdomen.

Either throw away the weapon, or take the stab - Scathach, who had lost control of the weapon, had no other choice.

She immediately let go of the handle of the gun, without the slightest hesitation, without any delay.

And I immediately stabilized my pace and threw the Deaththorn Spear away, like a crossbow bolt fired into the air.But my offensive was persistent, and I continued to move forward. When the tip of the holy sword was only three centimeters away from Scathach's throat, I finally stopped.

"You lost, Lancer. And twice." The weary voice echoed through the helmet, like the growl of a dragon.

"Well done... Mithra..." Scathach panted heavily, already reaching his physical limit. "For the first time in 2000 years, I have experienced the highest intensity of battle... I would like to call your swordsmanship the strongest. No matter which myth, as long as you use a sword, it is impossible to surpass you in swordsmanship..."

"That's natural. Because my swordsmanship is neither human's swordsmanship nor gods' swordsmanship." I accepted Scathach's evaluation without any excuse. "—It is the swordsmanship of the machine. The grasp of space, the control of force, and the choice of the situation are all the result of calculation. Therefore, my swordsmanship will not make mistakes. As long as my body is in good condition, I will not lose .”

"So, your control over your subjects is also based on calculations?" Skaha's scarlet pupils flickered with astonishment.

"Apart from this, do you think there are other possibilities?" After a pause, I took a breath, and continued: "I have pursued this kind of thing. However, the demise of the Britons is doomed." .All the roads of development are blocked. No matter what, the output of food will only be less and less. So I changed the kingdom of Albion from utopia to dystopia, seeking short-term prosperity in the doomed destiny ——It’s much better to die with a full stomach than to die from starvation and dizziness.”

"But you failed... your subjects killed you in the end." Skaha said calmly with no fear on his face.

"Do you really think that the subjects killed me?" The corner of my mouth drew an interesting arc. "Do you really think that the rebellion was led by the subjects? Do you really think that Mordred was instigated to become a rebel? Skaha, as the Goddess of War, you don't understand what rule is, and you don't even know What is politics—I can't explain it to you. Even the Almighty God couldn't explain to people 3000 years ago what thunder is, what fate is, how everything evolves, and how everything progresses."

"Speak." I said coldly, "After you finish speaking, you should wake up in the Land of Shadows."

"—Why accept the fate of becoming the master of mankind? Yoshikawa is right. The essence of that future is no different from that of Angola Mainyu, who is an ordinary youth. Rather than being the co-lord of mankind, it is better to say it is the master of mankind. slave."

Scathach's pupils shone with pity—yes, it was pity, as if it was a great misfortune.
