Chapter 478 - Chapter 477: Anyone Who Pursues the Impossible is Worthy of Praise

Da Vinci's Noble Phantasm is [Uomo Universale], an existence that obtains the form of legendary universality.

It can instantly analyze a target, adjust its own maximum attack to fit the target, and release it. It is commonly known as a universal custom-made Noble Phantasm. Originally, it seemed to be a reflection-type Noble Phantasm that repelled opponent attacks by instantly and temporarily reconstructing the opponent's Noble Phantasm, but in the original world line, that portion of resources seemed to be used for operating Chaldea.

Regarding individual Demon God Pillars, it is unclear if they have Noble Phantasm releases. Moreover, these Demon God Pillars are not complete forms, so one shouldn't expect Solomon's Second or Third Noble Phantasms. Furthermore, if it were truly the Human Order Incineration Cannon (Ars Almadel Salomonis), Da Vinci's Noble Phantasm would be hard-pressed to deal with it. Therefore, the more they understand this bunch of guys now, the easier it will be to resolve the Seventy-Two Demon Gods later.

If her Noble Phantasm directly formed specific counter-traits against the Demon Gods before her, the outcome of this war would be directly determined. Furthermore, as a rare universal genius in human history, even if those beside her were the Emperor of France or the legendary King Arthur, she had her own pride. She wanted to hear a word of praise for her abilities from the mouths of these people.

Although her abilities didn't need recognition from others because they were unchangeable facts, she was, more or less, a first-rate Hero. Praise directed at her would still make her feel a bit of pleasure. After all, this was a form of acknowledgment; even a genius would be very happy if praised by someone.

Senji Muramasa slashed his sword to the side. Several tiny, vine-like Demon God Pillars preparing to sneak attack were instantly severed. The most suitable thing for Heroic Spirits like them with limited combat power to do right now was to allow the few with powerful attack power to fight without worry, while leaving everything around them for him to handle.

Moreover, Assassin was also conducting support attacks from a range. It had to be said that before these Demon Gods retrieved all their power, Assassin's poison was somewhat useful against these guys. Even if it couldn't make these Demon God Pillars die directly, it could make their state extremely sluggish. As long as they constantly weakened the enemy, to some extent, it meant they were constantly becoming stronger!

That's the logic, no problem!

At the same time, accompanying the exposure of the enemy, in the sky, the Supreme Masterpiece began to adjust its muzzle. The current Demon God Pillars were equivalent to facing the attacks of four Heroic Spirits. After all... the power the Supreme Masterpiece could erupt with was definitely not weaker than any Heroic Spirit.

Sunlight was slowly absorbed by special devices. The heart from a distant god began to rotate rapidly. A massive amount of magical energy surged constantly within the machine. A portion of the machine's heat dissipation zones opened, and a wave of heat was released directly by the Supreme Masterpiece. The Supreme Masterpiece was an Artificial God, Aslan's best masterpiece; generally speaking, it didn't need to dissipate heat at all.

From this, it could be seen just how fast the internal magical energy storage and transport speed of this mecha was right now. However, correspondingly, the attack erupted like this would also be fleeting, yet extremely powerful. The Supreme Masterpiece had its own wisdom and originally wouldn't go so far as to use this kind of power, but everything right now was judged from the perspective of an "Old Father."

After all, the spiritual soul of the Supreme Masterpiece was originally the soul of the White Dragon, Vortigern. No matter what, the White Dragon was one of the two dragons of Britain. Even if the soul had been forged, how could it completely lose its memories? So, from time to time, there would be some behaviors similar to an old father, though Aslan seemed not to have discovered this point yet.

Of course, for the Supreme Masterpiece, he wished to maintain the status quo.

After all, he couldn't be sure what Aslan's view of him was right now. What if, in his son's eyes, he was a bastard father? What if, after knowing his identity, his son decisively abandoned the Supreme Masterpiece? What would he do then? In that case, he would become a lonely old man. As people get older, they pay more and more attention to family relationships. Even the White Dragon who once wanted to destroy Britain was pondering whether he should retire.

Anyway, it was just abandoning the name Vortigern. In the end, this identity would be inherited by others, and a new existence bearing the name of Vortigern would be born one day in the future. His identity would change to the former White Dragon of Britain, and now just the intelligence of the Supreme Masterpiece, Aslan's spiritual Old Father.

Also...

Hmm, Vortigern's current body is the Supreme Masterpiece, which is ultimately not a medical examination instrument, so some things cannot be determined so surely yet. Moreover, the most important thing right now is to settle the Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars before us.

A beam of magical energy fell from the sky, directly connecting the earth and the sky. At the same time, this scorching magical energy distorted the air; even the cloud layers were instantly evaporated in a large patch. That dazzling light even dyed the sky with another color. This was something the barrier constructed by the Church's magi could not conceal. Presumably, this would also become new fodder for supernatural stories in this small seaside city.

The red light that flashed by was witnessed directly by many people. Similarly, it would be recorded by people who happened to be taking photos and eventually posted online, right? However, the Moonlit World would not let ordinary people touch it so easily. Even if someone were truly interested in this city and waited here for a lifetime, they would probably only encounter some perhaps very bizarre events.

But they would ultimately be separated from the World of Mystery by a membrane.

However, let's not mention what the future of those ordinary people will be. After all, everyone's future is chosen and decided by themselves. If they want to spend their entire lives here pursuing their dreams, to some extent, they should be praised.

Anyone who pursues an impossible dream can be counted as a warrior. From this point of view, the Demon God Pillars are the same. Wanting to burn the current world to establish a new, better world—at least a world that looks better in their eyes—should also be respected to some extent.

It is just that because they want to seize the lives of all current lifeforms, they will inevitably face resistance from all life. Presumably, the guys before them should have also made mental preparations.

This attack falling from the horizon was like a signal. The two Heroic Spirits acting as the main attackers, plus a Great Witch of Britain, raised their hands simultaneously, preparing to launch an attack on the existence before them together. If successful, they could end all this directly. Incidentally, a frontal selection for the Holy Grail War could be conducted here again. Presumably, the magi had also made their choices.

Two colors of magical energy, one black and one gold, appeared in the sky again. Simultaneously on the ground, rainbow-colored artillery also began to gather magical energy.
