White Mask's delicate and petite face was completely stretched to a nearly twisted degree at this time. She hadn't completely achieved her goal, but the sudden appearance of Ryougi Shiki, no, Void Shiki, made her immediately realize that she had become the target of the Counter Force.
Void Shiki was a hero born of the times, the existence capable of directly killing her and ending her plan.
She had long secretly seized a portion of the black mud and forcibly polluted Berserker at the very beginning to serve as a hidden card. The two most powerful Servants in the Fourth and Fifth Holy Grail Wars were under her control, which meant she had already grasped the general trend.
The rest, besides toying with those bug-like guys, was to deliberately lure Mercenary Tao to slaughter and fight. Waiting until Mercenary Tao went through untold hardships to seize the victory of the Holy Grail War, she would then initiate the Human Instrumentality Project, turning everyone including Mercenary Tao into "orange juice," and she herself would become the only [Lilith (Human)].
This was the part belonging to [Flesh] in White Mask's [Stairway of Spirit and Flesh], although her previous attempt to obtain the [Path of Spirit] to become the Shaman King through the Taizan Fukun Ritual was stolen.
But White Mask had already prepared a backup plan.
She knew that in Mercenary Tao's hands, there was a [Hollow Core] tampered with by the [Supreme King]!
Everything was like a drama of fate, and finally, the spotlight shone on the two of them, her and Mercenary Tao.
Spirit and Flesh had both arrived in this world.
And the main mission in this world was actually a Holy Grail War that could open the path to the [Root].
This arrangement simply made White Mask feel the brilliant might of Heaven revealing itself unmistakably before her.
She firmly believed she saw clearer and further than Mercenary Tao. This arrangement, without a doubt, was a destiny in the unseen world wanting her to become a God in this world!
The thought fluctuations in White Mask's mind did not affect the hexagonal AT Field in front of her. This ability firmly separated her from Gilgamesh and Void Shiki.
Even though the few people were only separated by a distance of dozens of meters, the [Hearts] could never get close.
White Mask cut her own throat. She floated in the air, fresh blood constantly dripping. The spirit body of the demon fox behind her was faintly visible, ready to swap places with her at any time.
And Gilgamesh, his face twisted at this time, turned back to look at White Mask in the air.
"Kotomine Kirei, what did you do?"
Gilgamesh looked at the black mud covering his body. This was completely not the kind of thing in the Holy Grail.
White Mask lowered her eyelids, looking at the King of Heroes who thought highly of himself, so arrogant and egotistical that he even denied [All the World's Evils] altogether.
Naturally, she wouldn't stake her entire plan on trying to manipulate the Greater Grail using a "backdoor" after seizing Kotomine Kirei's destiny.
White Mask had already obtained [All the World's Evils] from the Infinite Dimensional Space in advance, and made a "wish" and modification to it at the Goddess's place.
Just like how Berserker was directly covered and polluted, this portion of black mud was a wish of depravity specifically used to pollute divine existences.
Various scenes appeared before Gilgamesh's eyes. Those ordinary humans without any special power, bit by bit, using so-called technology, science, and knowledge, plundered the legends belonging to gods and heroes.
And eradicated [Mystery] bit by bit.
Humans began to use [Science] to explain everything, transform everything, and prove everything.
Mystery faded, and the world began to change beyond recognition.
Violent thoughts arose in Gilgamesh's heart. He was not that [Wise King · Gilgamesh]. The King allows it, the King bears it.
But similarly, who is qualified to be the King's subjects is chosen by the King himself!
In those ruby-like eyes, violence rose and could no longer be contained.
With a flash of light in Gilgamesh's right hand, a golden sharp sword with an extremely special shape appeared.
The golden sword hilt was arc-shaped, and the sword blade was completely composed of three independently rotating cylindrical blades. This was a divine sword whose shape transcended an ordinary [Sword].
Scarlet magical energy lit up from the sword body, and pitch-black cracks immediately appeared in the space.
[Sword of Rupture · Ea], the sword that cuts the world. But in terms of power, it was even above the [Sword of Promised Victory].
"Gilgamesh, you are always like this, so arrogant, so... stupid."
White Mask spoke softly. Gilgamesh possessed strength capable of almost bulldozing ordinary Servants, yet because of his arrogance, he was always reluctant to make a move. Even if he made a move, he was always accustomed to crossing his arms and using the [Gate of Babylon] to project Noble Phantasms to attack.
Unwilling to easily reveal his true strength.
In various worldlines, Gilgamesh's defeat mostly originated from this.
At this very moment, it was no exception.
White Mask suddenly spread her hands and pounced towards Gilgamesh.
Her speed was extremely fast, appearing in front of Gilgamesh in an instant.
Gilgamesh gripped the Sword of Rupture tightly, turned, and slashed. Just as the sword blade was raised, the invisible AT Field had already appeared in front of him.
Two arrogant people unwilling to accommodate each other experienced a phenomenon of estrangement where interaction was absolutely impossible.
Gilgamesh watched his Sword of Rupture cut open space, but the invisible barrier in front of him still existed.
Pfft!
The fresh blood in White Mask's neck had almost stopped flowing. She was completely relying on shamanic power to support her movements.
White Mask, revealing a look of madness, completely didn't resist, but instead spread her hands.
"Come on, Gilgamesh. Under the Counter Force of the world's continuation, you, polluted by the Root and human hearts, an Apostle of the Demigods, and me, an Apostle of mad, selfish humanity, let us fuse~"
White Mask spread her arms, like speaking ravings.
In the next moment, on the rippling ground, countless characters lit up. That was the ultimate secret of another world.
Symbolizing the very beginning of humanity.
[Secret · Dead Sea Scrolls] began to activate.
Crack, buzz~
The sound of the AT Field shattering was as crisp as glass, but Gilgamesh, who slashed through this layer of barrier, instead found the space before his eyes empty.
That "Kotomine Kirei" turned into a white-robed girl, and in the next moment, with a pfft sound before his Sword of Rupture could slash her, she turned into liquid and splashed all over him.
A massive amount of scenes and a massive amount of wills began to appear.
Gilgamesh seemed to see another future, a future even more cruel than this current world.
[Mystery] had completely disappeared.
The Age of Gods and the Age of Phantasm completely vanished without a trace, becoming Arabian Nights, not even existing in history at all.
Human history completely turned into the history of science and biology.
This kind of thing...
At the same time, the magical energy and divine power all over his body began to surge towards the ground below. The light of the Dead Sea Scrolls began to reflect towards the sky.
Streaks of mysterious text began to appear in the sky.
Void Shiki, holding a short knife, arrived in front of these two madmen.
The Counter Force of the World indeed held the choice and possibility of extinguishing humanity to let the world continue.
But similarly, [The Counter Force of Primates] was avoiding this possibility.
The [Root] chose her to appear as a [Hero] precisely to cut all this off.
In the [Mystic Eyes of Death Perception], lines of death clearly appeared. In the next moment, Void Shiki slashed down with her knife.
