Meruem turned into an afterimage, continuously shuttling through the army. Everywhere he went, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, he caused a commotion.
Killing instantly with a wave of his hand, then materializing a huge Taotie beast to swallow them in one bite, turning them into Meruem's mana.
Actually, for Meruem, Heroic Spirits themselves were huge chunks of movable energy.
It was only natural for them to be absorbed by Meruem.
Different from Goldie, who acted cool from the start and then took out the top-tier Noble Phantasm EA, which completely countered Reality Marbles, to defeat the Conqueror King.
Meruem's approach was much more violent!
Filled with a different kind of violent aesthetic.
Not a single person in the Conqueror King's peerless army was a match for Meruem in a single exchange.
All were instantly killed, then swallowed in one bite. The time spent killing a Heroic Spirit was even less than 0.1 seconds.
"I can feel... the mana in my body is continuously increasing." Although due to the limitations of the FATE world, Meruem's strength couldn't be fully unleashed.
But it didn't restrict Meruem from continuing to get stronger in the FATE world, although this power might not be taken away. But Meruem could indeed achieve the goal of strengthening himself by absorbing the power of Heroic Spirits.
This was something Meruem discovered only after dealing with Oda Nobunaga; he could actually recover some strength in this way.
This was also the reason Meruem chose the Conqueror King as his opponent.
Because only the Conqueror King still possessed such a massive army.
What Goldie possessed were Noble Phantasms, and Meruem hadn't reached the level where he could swallow Noble Phantasms yet.
"Yo, quite strong, KING." Looking at the rapid decrease in his army's numbers, the Conqueror King not only showed no panic but instead revealed a different kind of excitement.
At this moment, he still believed in his subordinates.
Although Meruem killed people extremely fast, from just now until now, he had only killed a thousand soldiers. It wasn't strange for the Conqueror King to have such a mindset; the Conqueror King had an army of tens of thousands.
A thousand soldiers wasn't even a fraction.
Even if they just stood there for him to kill, tens of thousands of people would tire him out.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that this was only relative to normal people.
Meruem couldn't even be considered human. having experienced several worlds, the number of tens of thousands was really just a small scene for him.
As for tiring out his hands? Regrettably, this level didn't even count as a warm-up.
"That mongrel really has some tricks. However, I originally thought he had some powerful move he hadn't used. I didn't expect him to just act like a barbarian. Truly disappointing. If he only has this level... then he will undoubtedly lose." Even Goldie didn't think highly of Meruem, because he, who had always been conceited, also believed that even without the Gate of Babylon or EA, he couldn't contend with such a vast number of troops.
At this moment, his mind rarely relaxed. If it's just this barbarian-like fighting style, this mongrel absolutely cannot be my opponent.
On the other side, Artoria's heart tightened. Although she said she hated Meruem, in reality, she had an indescribable feeling for Meruem in her heart.
This was a feeling she had never experienced in the first half of her life.
Very wonderful, and she didn't hate it.
Maybe, this is liking?
"No... something's wrong! That guy, the Conqueror King, is acting very strangely." Just when all the Heroic Spirits were extremely pessimistic about Meruem, the only person who noticed the abnormality was actually that inconspicuous Waver.
He stared in horror at Meruem's location, large drops of sweat sliding down his forehead. The whole person seemed to be in terror.
Waver's movements were naturally noticed by the others; after all, everyone wasn't deaf.
"Hey, kid... what did you discover?" He understood his little MASTER somewhat. Although this guy was just a third-rate magus, in some aspects, this kid had amazing intuition and unique insights.
Most importantly, this kid's knowledge reserve even surpassed any magus he knew.
He believed his MASTER wouldn't make a fuss over trivial matters.
After all, he was a man who had fought alongside him.
Following the Conqueror King's question, Artoria and Goldie also looked at Waver. Even Father Mapo, who had been like a decoration since arriving here, was no exception.
However, he had long classified Waver as the harmless type; low mana and cowardly character alone were enough for Mapo not to take him seriously.
"That guy... that guy's stats!" under everyone's gaze, Waver's cheeks turned bright red, and he stammered while pointing at Meruem's location.
"Stats?" Hearing this, Kirei Kotomine became thoughtful and also began to probe Meruem's current state.
"What! How is it possible..." However, when Mapo saw the probing result, his face changed drastically. Even that eternally unchanging zombie face showed changes.
"All stats... A++." Waver struggled to say the remaining words.
Hearing this, except for Goldie, who still maintained that calm and unruffled expression, everyone else's face changed drastically.
What is the concept of all stats A++?
Even Goldie, who possesses two-thirds god bloodline, can't reach this level. In Artoria's strongest period, only three stats barely reached A.
Even the berserk version of Hercules, known as the strongest demigod, only had all stats at A.
However, even that was already defying the heavens.
A++ and A rank, don't look at just the extra ++, but in reality, the strength difference between the two is worlds apart.
All stats A++, that's already surpassing the human level, right? God? No, even some gods materialized might not necessarily possess such power.
No wonder the opponent treats the Conqueror King's army as nothing. Possessing such stats, in a sense, he alone counts as an army of thousands.
"Hahahaha, only this is interesting. As expected of the person this King has eyes on. But the winner of this battle will definitely be me!" The Conqueror King lived up to his name; he instantly adjusted his mindset. Even so, he just laughed heartily.
Being able to fight heroes from various eras was also a disguised way of conquest for him.
All forces attack! Crush him!
Only this time, the Conqueror King, sitting on an army of tens of thousands, also began to take his opponent seriously.
Defeating such a strong person, I will definitely gain unparalleled sense of achievement.
"Finally, getting serious? Then I'll put in a little effort too!"
"Conqueror King... don't think only you possess an army of thousands. I have one too. Sage Art: True: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
