The forge like an ancient garden stands alone in the center of the wilderness.
Everyone arrived at the forging ground in silence.
"This is the chosen place, and in the center is the Furnace of Universe."
Merlin guided everyone.
"As long as the Fairy of Paradise is included, the concept of the Holy Sword will be confirmed. At that time, the Holy Sword of this era will be born, and no matter which world it is, it will be saved."
"But, in this case..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked hesitant.
Even though she has sacrificed countless companions so far, she cannot get used to this kind of thing.
In order to win, you have to give up someone.
Can a victory based on such sacrifice really be considered a victory?
Matthew next to him also had the same expression.
Artoria glanced at her blankly.
Then, she smiled.
"It doesn't matter. In fact, I already knew that this ending would come, so I was mentally prepared for it. In this way, both Britain and pan-human history will be saved. Isn't this good?"
She gave her usual smile.
It was not a smile that was put on by the people of Tintagel, but a smile that came out of one's own will, using one's own ideas to save Britain.
Her words made both Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu unable to refute.
But Jiang Li is not among them.
At this moment, Artoria's smile overlapped with Ash's smile from 2,400 years ago.
That illusory look, as if even his own place of refuge had been taken away, kept multiplying in his mind like mushrooms after a rain.
"Merlin, I have something to ask you."
"What's going on?"
"Is recasting the Holy Sword really just to eliminate the differences between this strange world and the history of pan-humanity?"
Jiang Li cast his sharp gaze on Merlin.
"Why do you say that?"
Merlin raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"In the final analysis, this strange world will disappear sooner or later. Whether or not the points of difference are eliminated, the result will be the same. And if the purpose of eliminating the points of difference is to weaken the Cursed God, there is no need to do this with you and me here, no.
?」
Jiang Li explained his guess little by little and with reasonable evidence.
As long as he and Merlin join forces, he doesn't believe they can't defeat the Cursed God!
Gudazi, Mashu and Muramasa also became thoughtful and cast doubtful glances over.
"Indeed, what you said makes sense."
Merlin agreed with Jiang Li's opinion.
The Cursed God is indeed terrifying, but if Jiang Li snipers before the curse wave breaks out, it may not be impossible to defeat it head-on.
After all, the recasting of the Holy Sword was too sudden, and the purpose was not clear at all. It was just because the person who said this was Merlin, that they chose to believe it.
"So, there's no need to sacrifice Artoria at all, right?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes lit up and he spoke hurriedly.
"No, that's not possible either."
But Merlin turned around and shattered her illusion.
"I don't really want to say this, but since you have noticed it, I won't hide it."
"The reason why Artoria recast the Holy Sword is indeed not to curse the God, but to confirm the concept of the Holy Sword on today's earth!"
Gudazi and Ma Xiu looked at each other, as if they didn't understand what you were talking about.
"Think about it carefully, what is left on the earth now?"
Merlin was not in a hurry, but guided the two of them in a persuasive way.
"Basically nothing is left."
Matthew shook his head.
"That means?!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka reacted quickly.
"Yes, there is nothing left."
Merlin nodded.
"There are no more human beings left, no civilization left, the oceans, mountain peaks, and the earth have all been bleached - which means that all concepts have disappeared."
That's right.
This is the fundamental reason.
Now there is nothing left on the bleached earth.
Continents, oceans, the highest peaks in the world, everything was wiped out in the bleaching process.
This includes human beings and civilization.
The concept itself was born from human civilization over thousands of years.
In the universe, there is no such thing as a concept. In the imaginary number space, concepts will become extremely thin, and in the inner sea of stars, concepts will also become distorted.
This is all because concepts can only exist if humans exist, and concepts can only exist if humans exist!
And if human beings are wiped out, no concept of nature will be left!
Naturally, the concept of the Holy Sword was also erased.
The opponent who did this series of things calls himself the "Alien God".
As we all know, the Holy Sword has a very powerful special attack power against foreign enemies that threaten the earth!
This has to make people think that the purpose of the alien god's bleaching of human reason is to erase the holy sword from its roots and make the only thing that can threaten him disappear from this planet?
Of course, in order to deal with the alien gods, the concept of the Holy Sword must be reconfirmed on the surface!
"In the final analysis, the significance of recasting the Holy Sword is not to weaken the Curse God, but to re-establish the possibility of defeating the Alien God. This is the real purpose."
Merlin told the truth.
"This... is too much!"
Matthew suddenly looked unhappy.
"Isn't this forcing Artoria to sacrifice for the sake of our world?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression also became very ugly.
If he died for this strange world, it would at least be a worthy death.
In the end, the purpose of letting Artoria die was to save her own world!
Forcing someone to do something so difficult is as disgusting as a goblin!
"So, I'm not going to tell you."
Merlin spread his hands, his face full of innocence.
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu glared at him in unison, as if not saying anything meant that that would not happen!
Sure enough, Merlin is Merlin!
Crumbs!
"Artoria!"
At this moment, Muramasa suddenly screamed.
Everyone turned to look, and saw a graceful figure walking into the furnace of space in front of them, which was as vast as the starry sky.
No unnecessary hesitation.
Don't let anyone stop you.
This girl, in the most thoughtful way, chose self-sacrifice.
In the furnace of the universe, the invisible fire gradually ignited.
It was not a flame in the real sense, but some kind of conceptual flame, covering Artoria's figure bit by bit. From her, using her experience and spiritual base as materials, a brand-new
Concept of resurgence.
"cut!"
Muramasa's expression suddenly became extremely anxious.
"Merlin, let me ask you! Just confirm the birth of the concept of the Holy Sword, right?"
"Well, that's true in theory, but in today's era we can't find anyone who can forge the Holy Sword. If the Holy Sword can be forged directly here, that would be the most ideal result."
"Huh, that's it!"
Muramasa was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Then it's time for the elders to perform. Forging divine weapons is the old man's proud skill!"
Looking at Muramasa who smiled proudly.
Jiang Li's eyes flashed. This chapter has been completed!
