"Zero condensation".

Li Wei snapped his fingers.

These erupting black shadows once again swirled into the pattern of a pupil. The next moment, a deafening yet silent explosion bloomed and withered like flower petals.

Looking around, Spartacus's body was covered in horrifying wounds. The accumulation of these injuries had exceeded the limit of his Beast Roar Noble Phantasm and also exceeded his body's self-healing ability. There was no healing or further changes. Spartacus's body stopped in place and entered a state of near death.

"Li Wei, watch out!"

Joan of Arc was suddenly startled, sensing a dangerous aura emanating from Spartacus. Sure enough, in the next second, Spartacus's body emitted a burst of light as he self-destructed.

The power of this self-destruction had reached the EX level. In the original work, his final blow leveled most of the battlefield, including the Black Faction's castle.

Sieg and Astolfo were only able to survive thanks to Jeanne d'Arc's Noble Phantasm.

Now, Joan of Arc had to do the same thing as in the original story: she stepped forward and stood before Li Wei.

"It's dangerous here, leave it to me."

As she spoke, Joan of Arc grasped the sacred banner with both hands and held it upright in front of her, the banner itself radiating golden light.

"The time has come. My strike will shatter all oppression and all power!"

Spartacus's body continued to swell as he roared, and purple light from his mouth expanded like bubbles.

"I will not let you hurt my fellow countrymen."

Jeanne d'Arc said that she was about to unleash her Noble Phantasm.

"This is Spartacus!"

A thick, purple beam of light shot out from Spartacus's mouth—an EX-level devastating attack!

"My flag, please protect my people."

“My…”

However, before Joan of Arc could finish speaking, Li Wei pulled her behind him.

What kind of man hides behind a woman?

"I told you, with me here, you don't need to lift a finger."

"because……"

"With my head resting on the heavens and earth and my head lying among the stars, indolence is etched into eternity."

"The Seven Deadly Sins: Sloth, the Second Stage of Liberation."

"Your god is here."

PS:

P.S.: Why is it that inspiration keeps flowing for the new book, but the plot of this one just stalls? Good heavens, why did I even choose Fate/stay night, an anime with such a messy plot?

Chapter 289 I Have Too Many Command Seals

"Your god is here."

After Li Wei finished speaking, a gray aura emanated from his body. Almost simultaneously, Spartacus's purple beam of light shot out and collided with the gray aura.

Spartacus's self-destruction seemed incredibly destructive, but Li Wei stood firm like a rock, unmoved as a mountain. Spartacus's attack, like a river, crashed into Li Wei, splitting him in two.

"If I remain still, I will be eternal."

Li Wei said calmly, "You think you can sway me with this little bit of power? Wishful thinking."

After a while, the purple light disappeared, and the self-destructing force, which had been divided by the indolence defense, blasted two wide marks on either side of Li Wei.

“Li Wei…”

Jeanne looked around at the scene, her expression a mix of emotions. Li Wei's move just now was probably almost as powerful as her own Noble Phantasm.

However, just as Joan of Arc was about to say something, the two of them suddenly jumped back at the same time, and the next second, all kinds of golden weapons shot down at the spot where they had just been.

The two looked toward where the weapons had come from. Luo Shuyuan and Lao Li were hovering in the air there, and behind Luo Shuyuan, there were ripples of gold, from which more than a dozen different weapons emerged.

"Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, and Iskandar, the King of Conquerors."

Joan of Arc looked at them sternly. "You attacked me, the ruler, so you should know what that means, shouldn't you?"

"Ruler, our target isn't you, it's just the man next to you. We don't intend to harm you."

Luo Shuyuan paused for a moment and continued, "Ruler, don't forget that you are a neutral Heroic Spirit. You cannot interfere in the struggle between our factions without cause."

"Or are you going to betray your neutrality, Ruler!"

When she said the word "ruler," Luo Shuyan emphasized it, as if she were questioning Joan of Arc.

"Disobey? No, I haven't forgotten my duty as a ruler, but..."

"Who said I'm breaking the rules?"

Joan of Arc replied matter-of-factly, "This is the guidance of the Holy Grail."

"Oh?"

Luo Shuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Ruler, are you so sure that the Holy Grail is guiding him to join you, and not... to destruction?"

Having read the original work, he knew what the so-called revelation was all about; it would only give you a general picture, and you would have to guess the specific intention yourself.

So even if the guidance the ruler gave is true, Luo Shuyuan can still argue about it forcefully. Anyway, he won't lose anything if he's wrong, and it might even have a surprising effect.

"Ok?"

Jeanne was indeed taken aback when she heard Luo Shuyuan's words. "Impossible, Li Wei should be..."

Li Wei? That name sounds familiar, but never mind.

"Where's the evidence? Just a vague revelation?" Luo Shuyuan shouted, "Ruler, you can't prove you're in cahoots, can you!"

Upon hearing this, Joan of Arc hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, "Li Wei is my dearest friend, and I will not allow you to harm him."

"I firmly believe that this is the revelation of the Holy Grail!"

How could the minds of great heroes, who have left a profound mark on history, be easily shaken?

Even without concrete proof, she would not allow herself to doubt her confidence.

She is Joan of Arc!

The holy flag in his hand was pointed at Luo Shuyuan and the other person in the next second.

"If you want to declare war, then come on!"

"and many more."

Just before Joan of Arc was about to engage in a final battle with the two, Li Wei interrupted, "Who said I'm not on Joan of Arc's side?"

Li Wei knew in his heart that although Joan of Arc said those words, she still harbored some resentment in her heart. What Li Wei had to do was to stand up for her.

"My job title is also ruler."

After Li Wei finished speaking, Luo Shuyuan and Lao Li were stunned, while Zhen De looked puzzled. Then, she used her "See Through True Name" ability to look at Li Wei again...

Job title: masker → ruler

True Name: Lord of Truth, Lord of Miracles, Source of Evil, One God, Godslayer, Primordial Demon, Lord of Despair, Eternal God...

A long string of information followed, leaving Joan of Arc completely bewildered. Old Li, with his keen eye, also noticed this information and wore a confused expression.

"Boss, his panel is pretty cool, it looks just like the one I created."

"what?"

"Seriously, boss, his real name sounds really awesome, like Lord of Truth, Lord of Despair, even the One God is mentioned."

Old Li exclaimed in surprise.

Then Luo Shuyuan slapped him on the head.

"You believe such fake stuff? Have you forgotten the talent you saw before? It's obviously a bluff."

These are real names, let alone this whole string of names. Even if only one of them is real, let alone them, a hundred Holy Grails would be destroyed.

It sounds like mythology, and it feels even more high-end than Zeus or anything like that.

However, unlike Luo Shuyuan and the others, Joan of Arc was unable to come back to her senses for a long time, because she was still thinking about what Li Wei had said when answering her question earlier.

"Godslayer, devil, demon, ruler of despair, primal evil..."

"That's what the remnants of those fallen gods call me."

"besides……"

"That's enough, Li Wei."

Unfortunately, Joan of Arc herself interrupted the conversation at this point.

however……

The Holy Grail is indeed an all-powerful wish-granting machine, but can it really summon such a terrifying being that transcends the level of gods?

Even if it's... a downgraded summon!

Such an existence is unimaginable even before becoming a god, and... no one can explain the specific meaning behind these titles.

One could even argue that these beings should be born gods, and should not have had a past as mortals.

"You say you're the ruler, but do you have any proof of being a ruler?"

Luo Shuyuan sneered, "The panel can be faked, but the Command Seals are bestowed by the Holy Grail. Unless he can control the Holy Grail, it is absolutely impossible. On the other hand, if he could do that, what would be the point of this Holy Grail War?"

"Do you possess the Ruler's 28 Command Seals!?"

Upon hearing this, Joan of Arc snorted coldly: "I don't have those 28 Command Seals either, that's not a reason for you to refute me."

"What!?"

Luo Shuyuan obviously didn't expect that Jeanne d'Arc, who was definitely a Ruler in the original work, would not even have 28 Command Seals in this instance.

"Your reasoning is invalid," Jeanne said resolutely. "I'll ask you again, are you going to declare war on us, the rulers?!"

"Hmph, you don't even have proof of a Command Seal. Maybe you're a fake Ruler yourself." Old Li blurted out at this moment.

“You rude wretch!” Joan of Arc said angrily.

Li Wei shook his head and stepped forward.

"You mean 28 Command Seals? Sorry, I don't actually have anything like 28 tattoos."

"How so—"

Li Wei rolled up his sleeves, revealing his arms covered with a dense array of Command Seals, numbering in the dozens or even hundreds at a glance.

“I seem to have a little more Command Seals than 28.”

"About twenty-eight thousand?"

PS:

PAS: I finished the beginning of the new book before New Year's Day, but it seems to have been of little use... Hmm... I'll try to write another chapter tonight. The next part is a very important direction, and I'm still struggling with it...

Honestly, the plot of Fate/stay night is really too messy.

Chapter 290 I, Joan of Arc, am in cahoots with him!

"Twenty-eight thousand?!"

Luo Shuyuan had a "you're kidding me" look on his face, and even Joan of Arc's face seemed to turn into a half-comical face in shock and surprise.

If these Command Seals with these numbers are real, then there's no need for the Holy Grail War.

I'll beat your grandma to a pulp.

“Yeah,” Li Wei said, “I thought it looked pretty cool when I first saw it, so I covered myself in it. How does it look? Doesn’t it feel like watching an old movie from decades ago, like those old gangsters?”

Li Wei's style has changed again.

Joan of Arc silently complained to herself.
