Type-Moon, a human love simulator

Chapter 88 Even without the sword, I can still annihilate the enemy

Merlin is a spectator, a spectator of fate.

This dream demon who always stays in the audience, looking at all the "plot developments" from a high perspective of fate, showed a humane expression of regret for the first time, feeling ashamed for his misunderstanding of a true saint.

Not only did she misunderstand Kelar, she also spread the prophecy everywhere, causing all kinds of misunderstandings, including the prophecy against Altria, the prophecy against Kelar, and the prophecy against the Knights of the Round Table...

It can be said that every prophecy spread was written by Merlin. She believed that things would develop as fate would have it, and her behavior of speaking out the prophecy was also the inevitable result of fate.

Merlin had never thought there was anything wrong before, even though she was now the leader of the Druids, even though she had assisted three generations of Celtic kings, and even though the Celtic kings had always respected this British sage, Merlin had never felt anything.

Because this was the 'destiny' she had known for a long time, that the thing called 'Merlin' was bound to assist three generations of Celtic kings, would become famous in Britain, and would become a great wizard praised by everyone.

I already knew it, so why would I have any unnecessary emotions about something I already knew?
Merlin's life in the previous dozens or hundreds of years was like reading a cheesy novel in which he was a supporting character.

The plot of this novel script was extremely clichéd. Although the role assigned to her was very important, she had read the script and when she went through the plot, any inspiring plot recorded in the plot seemed to her to be a clichéd novel that she could not relate to.

Everything has been predetermined, this is an unchangeable fate!
Any small branch that deviates from the main trunk of fate is a harmless little change, adding a little variety to her boring life...

But that's all.

Merlin is not without emotion, but too indifferent, and has no sense of involvement in life at all...

Simply put, her view of the people around her is that they are just simple 'NPCs'. What kind of strange feelings can players have towards NPCs?
But now, Merlin found that he was wrong. What he saw was not necessarily the truth, and the "plot" did not necessarily have to be followed. There were always people who held the script of the beast that destroyed the world, but dreamed of becoming the savior who saved the world.

She stared at Kelar for a long time. Merlin stroked his chest and said to Kelar: "I apologize to you, Kelar. You are a true saint. But, have you forgotten your Geis?"

Do not kill, forgive, stop fighting, and love all.

Suicide is also a violation of the oath. As long as the oath is violated, the Geis will be broken.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Altria's desperate eyes, and she trembled and said, "Yes, yes, yes... Kai, if you break your oath, the commandments of Geis will backfire on your protection, and you will pay a heavy price."

"If you break your oath, yours, yours... In short, as long as you break your oath, what you want to do will definitely fail!!!"

Altria couldn't say those two words, but her emotions were still very excited. At the end of her words, she even yelled!

But at this time, only Altria was inexplicably excited. Merlin and Morgan, the two people with the ability to predict, and the Knights of the Round Table were all silent.

There was pity and sadness on Merlin's face, and the expression she gave Artoria was clearly human. She was no longer the succubus in human form. At this moment, Merlin could perhaps truly be called a great wizard of Britain and a friend of King Arthur.

She watched Altria grow up and understood Altria's feelings for Kelar better than anyone else.

Morgan's face was also dead silent, lacking the excitement and hope that Altria had. After Altria finished speaking, she realized that the hall was completely silent, with only her own voice echoing.

Merlin's undisguised expression terrified her. For the first time, Altria realized a certain power that could not be violated.

This is a force that no one wants to experience, but no one can stop it. They can only watch and do it out of necessity.

"It's hard to keep a promise... Is this what you mean?"

Morgan's voice was hoarse, and she seemed to have lost her spirit in an instant. She looked at Kelar with red eyes: "Kai, you swore an oath. You and I made an unbreakable British blood oath..."

"Are you going to break your oath to me?"

Morgan gnashed her teeth and asked sadly, "Have you forgotten that if you break your oath, as a witch, I will take something from you..."

"Kai, give up your idea. Britain is not yours alone, and we don't need you to save Britain!"

"We are all willing to accept this outcome. Even if the final result is to be destroyed by the beast of Rome, we don't want you to go..."

"Sorry……"

Kelar whispered, "Morgan, I am the savior, I am the only solution, this is the mission I must complete. Even if I can defeat the beast without paying any price, Britain will be destroyed. This price is equivalent to denying my life and self."

"I am dead as well as alive."

"I will defeat the beast of Rome, even if it costs me my life!"

Kelar loves everyone and has an infinite possessiveness of human life. He believes that everyone's life is extremely precious and must be protected and cherished.

His failure to save more than one million people in Rome had already caused Kelar immense torment and pain, but at that time, he was too powerless facing the complete beast and could only retreat temporarily.

Although he is now confident that he can defeat Nero, after the outcome is decided, there will probably only be one man and one woman left in Britain, so he will be defeated whether he wins or not.

Let alone saving the world, if he couldn't even save Britain, wouldn't it mean that all the ideals and life that Kelar had always upheld were negated?

At that time, he was dead whether he was alive.

To Kelar, loving all people throughout their lives is not just empty talk.

Kelar said calmly: "After I break my oath, Morgan, you can use your magic to take everything you can from me. I will give you my final gift. You can take back your full strength and even become stronger than before."

There is a price to pay for breaking an oath. Just as Morgan transferred part of his magic power to Kelar, any remaining power he had would also be transferred to Morgan.

Seeing his 'mother' so sad and upset, Gawain took off his helmet and said, "Lord Kelar, you could have defeated the beast, and even the sacrifice should not have been made by you."

"We are willing to do our best to create opportunities for you!"

Gawain and his companions decided to sacrifice themselves because they knew it was impossible. They themselves could not defeat the Roman emperor who had transformed into the complete form of the beast of apocalypse, and they would die if they did not resist. Moreover, as Celtic warriors, they were willing to welcome the end of their lives in singing.

But Kelar is different. With multiple BUFFs, he is able to drive out the beast and become the only hero and savior in the world. Even if the victory is full of devastation, isn’t it still a victory?

Gawain asked himself, if it were him, he would never make such a sacrifice for others and give up his life and honor.

Kelar looked at him gently and said, "Gawain, you don't understand me, I don't blame you... Let me ask you, who is more important, one person or tens of millions of people?"

"Equally important!" Artoria replied immediately: "Every person is important. Life is priceless. One person is as important as millions of people!"

Kai, you are more important than my whole world...

"Yes, I agree, but except for myself."

Kelar nodded calmly and said, "Because people can only decide for themselves and cannot make decisions for others, the life of one person is as important as the life of millions of people."

"But, if we kill one person, we can save millions of people..."

Kelar smiled and said, "I am willing to bear it."

People can decide whether to sacrifice themselves to save the world, but they can never decide to sacrifice others to save the world.

This is the true meaning of one person's life being equal to the lives of tens of millions of people.

"Lily, I have made up my mind!" Kelar showed an unquestionable expression: "The holy sword was broken by me, and it was also forged by me!"

"People always have to make up for what they have done!" Kelar laughed and said, "So, I will go and forge a sword. I will definitely forge a sword that is not inferior to the Holy Sword of the Star, or even far superior."

"Lily, hold the holy sword tightly again. It is up to you to save Britain and all of humanity..."

"Kai!" Morgan wanted to struggle again. She shouted with all her strength, "Don't be silly. No one cares about you. No one understands you. Everyone present, including me and Altria, don't understand your thoughts and brain circuits. You are just flattering yourself!"

"No one needs you to save them. You are even giving up your own life. The premise of loving others is to love yourself... Isn't this what you once said?"

"Look at this Britain, the Britain you risked everything to save. The Anglo-Saxons fear your military power, and the Celts slander your benevolence. They just dare not speak. In fact, they don't care about your laws at all. They just want to please you and call you a saint!"

"Britain is not worth your sacrifice, not worth your saving. Everyone misunderstood you. Even before you stepped into this palace, I, Merlin, Gawain, Lancelot... everyone thought you were someone who would definitely break Geis and break your oath!!!"

"No one understands you...really, no one. Wake up. Britain is not worth your sacrifice. Kai, can you please give up?"

"If you sacrifice yourself, no one will remember your contribution. You won't be the savior who saves the world. You are just a fool who paves the way for others!"

Kelar listened to Morgan's accusation quietly, and all those she named were ashamed. Most of them only admired Kelar's force, but did not agree with or even mocked Kelar's kindness...

Even in Britain today, all races are united under the same Camelot flag because of Kelar.

If it weren't for Kelar, they would also be expelled and attacked by King Arthur.

For a moment, the only sounds in the crowded palace were Morgan's desperate cries.

Kelar chuckled and wiped Morgan's tears. He shook his head and said, "Savior? Morgan, you really don't understand me, because I don't care about the title of savior at all!"

Unlike the Celtic warriors, Kelar only wants to save the world and does not care about so-called honor. This is where Gawain and others feel inferior.

They were loyal to Great Britain and were not afraid to sacrifice themselves, but no one knew about it after they sacrificed themselves. They gave everything without any honor, and no one thanked or understood them. This was them...

In other words, this is an outcome that no normal person can accept.

Those who carry firewood for the public should not be allowed to freeze to death in the wind and snow.

I can sacrifice for everyone, but I cannot be abandoned!

Kelar waited until Morgan calmed down completely before continuing, "Why do you need others to recognize your ideals?"

"You misunderstand me, don't understand me, and even slander me..." Kelar's eyes swept across the entire audience. Wherever his eyes touched, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at him, because Morgan's words truly touched their hearts.

"But I don't blame you," Kelar said, "because I love you."

Kelar has reached the ultimate version of universal love, truly loving all of humanity and being willing to sacrifice for all of humanity.

Therefore, he always suppressed his animal nature. He did not dare to transform himself into a beast and become the enemy of the beast of the Apocalypse.

The beast of the Apocalypse fell because she loved Rome and tried to save the Roman Empire, but she destroyed the Roman Empire with her own hands.

Kelar loves all mankind, but he cannot guarantee that after he turns into a beast, he will not destroy all mankind so that there will be no conflict between humans.

The more benevolent and loving a person is, the more terrifying the beast suppressed in his heart will be.

Just like a failed art student in later generations, he was originally just a patriotic young man, a patriotic young man who wanted to save Germany.

"That's enough!" Artoria interrupted, holding the holy spear tightly. The rich divinity emanating from Longomyniad even turned her holy blue pupils into a golden color like a god. "I can still annihilate the enemy without that sword!"

"I am the King of Knights, I am the King of Great Britain, Altria Pendragon!"

Altria held up the Holy Spear and said, "Kai, do you see this? I have the anchor that connects the physical and the mystical, the Holy Spear Rungomyniad!"

"At the same time, I also have the 'Absolute Protection' that ignores all magic and physical attacks, and even bounces back attacks. The scabbard is an utopia of isolation from the world!"

"Kai, I am no longer the little girl who follows behind you and can only carry the flag and cheer for you but cannot help you in any way. I am the King of Great Britain, and the most powerful king in the history of the British Isles!"

There is no need to elaborate on the power of the Holy Spear. It is a true top-level artifact. With it, you can become a god!
I have to say that Altria is worthy of being Type-Moon's biological daughter. She doesn't have a holy sword but she has a holy lance. All her equipment is of top specifications. The scabbards of the holy sword and holy lance are both EX-level treasures. She is a true hero!

The Scabbard of Avalon, "an isolated utopia", is even more amazing. It is the strongest defensive weapon in the Moon World. No one can harm the king who lives in peace in Avalon.

The holder will not age, injuries will heal quickly, and when it enters a state of complete protection, it is an absolute defense that even the five major magics cannot interfere with.

Attack EX, Defense EX, Stamina EX...

The Hero King Gilgamesh, the Sun King Ramses II, the Hero of Charity Karna, these serious heroes of the Age of Gods, are no match for the perfect form of Altria.

This is undoubtedly proven in the singularity. The Lion King, who holds the Holy Spear but has no scabbard, can suppress all enemies in the world by himself. No matter whether it is the Sun King Ra II or the people of the mountains, they all have to retreat away from the Lion King's Holy Judgment.

But now Artoria has the strength to be proud of herself. With the Holy Lance and scabbard, it can be said that she has no weaknesses.

Kelar sighed: "If it were just that simple, it would be great."

If a scabbard alone could defeat the beast, then the beast would not be a great disaster in human history and would not have the power to destroy humanity on its own.

There is no other way to defeat a beast-level enemy except by completely releasing the thirteen restraints of the Holy Sword of the Stars.

Although Artoria, who holds the Holy Lance and its scabbard, is very powerful, she is still too weak when facing the sum of the Roman Empire, Nero, who has all the gods, all the emperors and all the people of Rome, and who blesses the past and future and all the glory of Rome.

Nero's terrifying magic power is endless. Although the scabbard of Avalon can open up a position of absolute defense, the fully deployed Avalon will also consume magic power. If we compete in consumption, even the whole world combined is no match for Nero!

Altria shouted angrily: "In any case, I won't agree, Kelar, I will never agree to your stupid idea!"

"I have issued an order in the name of the King of Great Britain. No one is allowed to help Kelar complete that foolish act. Anyone who disobeys the king's order will be punished by my holy judgment!"

The holy spear in Altria's hand responded to her, and instantly the brilliant holy light filled the sky and earth, covering the entire Britain. If anyone disobeyed her order, the Holy Judgment would descend from the sky and wipe that person out.

Altria could no longer bear discussing this topic with Kelar, so she ran out with the Holy Lance. Merlin looked at Kelar with complicated eyes and followed him out, followed by the goblins and the Knights of the Round Table. Everyone went out.

However, not everyone is immune to disobeying King Arthur's orders.

Altria issued the order in the name of the King of Great Britain, and the scope of the restriction was her subjects. However, as long as there were people who were not subservient to her and whose status was not lower than her and were willing to help, the Holy Inquisition could be circumvented.

Morgan was about to leave in despair, but Kelar suddenly grabbed her hand, smiled, and said to her: "Morgan, you will help me, right?"

Morgan, will you help me?
Just like the handsome and sunny young man ten years ago, he looked at her with a smile and said, Sister Morgan, will you help me?

"Kai, I won't help you anymore..." Morgan couldn't hold it in any longer. Her legs softened and she sat on the ground, muttering to herself, "Really, I won't help you anymore..."

"You will help me." Kelar was still gentle, but his words were extremely cruel. "Now, only you can help me."

"..."

Morgan's expression was complicated and difficult to discern. She could no longer speak, and her eyes were filled with tears that seemed to be about to fall. In the end, she nodded at him sadly.
-
Nero stood in Normandy, Gaul, looking forward to Britain...

No, the word "looking" should not be used, but "eyeing" should be used. Nero looked at Britain as if it were an interesting toy, a prey worth hunting.

Nero stroked his forehead. Although the scar had disappeared, the feeling of being shaken and torn still existed. The person who shattered the Roman Empire at its peak and made the empire's most dazzling pearl bleed was right in the land before him.

Although the dress has been repaired, there is still a vague sense of brokenness, as if this sense of brokenness has been solidified by Nero into a concept of brokenness. Even though the dress is intact, it is still broken at the first sight of the red and white colors.

"My shame will be washed away by me personally!"

Looking at the British Isles, Nero whispered: "Even across the ocean, the whip of the Roman Empire will fall on the heads of all barbarians. Barbarians, crawl under my glory!"

Nero stretched out a little foot and stepped lightly on the sea. The next moment, the entire ocean began to boil. The power of corruption and evil eroded the ocean, just like the legendary Ten Plagues of Egypt. The sea was quickly dyed red by this strange and terrifying power.

Countless sea monsters, eroded by the power of corruption and deprived of their sanity, automatically emerged at Nero's feet and served as footpads for the supreme Roman emperor.

The heads of countless sea monsters rose and fell in the scarlet sea, as if the scarlet sea had grown countless strange heads at this moment.

If a Christian witnessed such a miracle, such a sacred and yet such an evil scene, he would certainly know that the great red dragon with seven heads and ten crowns recorded in the Bible, which carries the great whore of Babylon and brings the end of the nations on earth, is no more than this.

Terrifying magical power was spreading indiscriminately. A monster like the Beast of Apocalypse would be on par with the God King level or even higher even in the Age of Gods. The amount of magical power consumed between breaths was an astronomical figure that humans could not even imagine.

And this is just a breath. If the Beast of Apocalypse can really fully exert its combat power, the magic power it can control can make any "individual" feel despair. Why is there such a monster in this world?

Nero walked slowly towards Britain. Artoria had already seen Nero, and Nero had also seen her.

But Nero remained unhurried, strolling barefoot in the scarlet ocean, moving towards Britain at a walking pace. She was not in a hurry, and seemed to be appreciating the oppression and fear she brought to Britain.

“Fear my majesty!” Nero looked at Altria, whose eyes were golden and exuded the divinity of a god. The Roman emperor pointed at her and laughed, “King of the Barbarians, take advantage of the last moments of the Last Judgment to enjoy your last moments as a king!”

"Rome (Yu), is here to whip you."

Altria clenched her teeth tightly. She finally understood why Kelar was so pessimistic and even regarded the forging of the Holy Sword of the Stars as his only bargaining chip and trump card, without making any other struggle at all.

Only after facing such a monster can we truly understand what kind of mentality Kelar had and why he decided to sacrifice himself to save the world.

Rather, Artoria admired Kelar even more. He could actually leave a scar on such a beast, and even after injuring the Roman emperor, he could come back intact and make the right choice...

"No, no, no...that's not the right choice, it never was!"

Altria shook her head and dispelled the idea of ​​recognizing Kelar in her mind, because once she recognized Kelar, she would have to watch her lover sacrifice himself.

Although she may not be able to stop Kelar's decision in the end, she will never agree with it and even try her best to stop him from doing stupid things. Perhaps this is the last stubbornness of Altria!

"As long as all of us try our best and don't leave any regrets, even if the destruction of Britain is really unavoidable, even if everyone will still die in the war, at least we won't have any regrets."

Altria said calmly: "I expelled Vivian and blocked Britain with the Holy Lance. Without my permission, Kelar can't find anyone who can help him complete that stupid idea!"

Looking at the Knights of the Round Table, Altria said calmly: "I am the King of Britain. I have the final say on how to save Britain!"

Gawain said worriedly, "But what about Lady Morgan? King, you should order Morgan to be imprisoned..."

"No need... Sister Wang, she will never agree with Kailar's stupid idea!"

Altria waved her hand and said, "Sister Wang and I have a highly unified will!"

"The Knights of the Round Table support you in all your wishes, King of Britain."

The Knights of the Round Table had no objection to Artoria's decision, even though Artoria clearly said that everyone should die together.

Those who can join the Knights of the Round Table are not cowards who are afraid of death. They cannot say that they will let others sacrifice themselves to save Britain...

In fact, Morgan expressed the thoughts of everyone. Almost no one supported Kelar's self-sacrifice to forge the holy sword.

"Kai, the gift from the savior is for you, so you are the hero who saves the world, you must stay alive!"

"I order you to stay alive..."
-
Kelar took Morgan's hand, and the savior fairy king broke through the various blockades set up by King Altria of Britain and personally brought him to the inner sea of ​​the star. Only here were the conditions for forging the holy sword available.

"Kai, could your idea be wrong? Maybe your method is simply not feasible..." Morgan asked for the umpteenth time, "That is the only Holy Sword of the Star forged from the gift of the planet. Are you sure you can match it?"

"And the question of your Geis. Your powerful commandments all come from your observance of your oath. If your strongest oath is broken, then your commandments will also disappear. Then, is your sacrifice still meaningful?"

"I am a saint who educates the world, but also a dictatorial and arbitrary sinner. I am a hero of the Age of Gods in the past, but also a pioneer of the stars in the future. I am the love of mankind, but also the evil of mankind. I am a beast, but also a savior..."

Kelar smiled and said, "Not only that, I also have the gift of Jesus, the savior of the past. The power of salvation of the past and the future is gathered in me, and my future self (the savior) is used as the anchor to determine my destiny. After accepting the gift of the savior of the past, I must have saved the world in the 'now'."

"Morgan, I, Kelar, am not stupid. Human life is the most precious thing. The premise of loving others is to love yourself. If I am not 100% sure, how can I make such a decision?"

Kelar is the person who loves himself the most in the world. Although he did not make the decision to sacrifice himself to save the world, it does not mean that he loves the world more than himself.

In his heart, he actually loves himself more than anyone else in the world.

Because he loves himself, he can extend his love to others and love the whole world.

Kelar's love for himself surpasses that of everyone else in the world, so he can love everyone in the world.

From the very beginning, Kelar said that he sacrificed himself for his ideals. If he could not save the world, he would be dead even if he was alive. He sacrificed himself because he loved himself.

This is a very advanced form of philosophy that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve and understand.

"As for the commandments, it is indeed a problem..."

Kelar closed his eyes, and a purple talent flickered in the depths of his soul. It was a talent that Kelar was born with and rooted in his soul. It had not helped him in his growth over the past few decades...

The only effect of this talent is that it allows Kelar to break a terrible oath without suffering any punishment.

In fact, Kelar made many vows, such as the vow to never betray Morgan, the four Geis commandments, and the vow to never betray Altria...

The one about Altria was okay, it was just a verbal oath, no oath or contract was made, but not betraying each other was the blood pact between Kelar and Morgan, and the party that violated the blood pact would pay a heavy price.

But Kelar was not going to use [Oathbreaker] on the blood pact with Morgan.

He planned to use this talent on "Wu Kelar made a vow not to kill and would never kill anyone." In this way, even if he violated the vow not to kill, Kelar would not lose the power of the commandment brought by Geis, and his complete state would not be damaged.

Suicide is also murder. If he did not have the talent of breaking oaths, the moment Kelar committed suicide by forging a sword with a human body, he would lose the power brought by the commandment of not killing, and the puzzle of forging the holy sword of salvation might be missing a crucial piece. His sword-forging behavior would fail, and his sacrifice would be in vain.

"This is my highest-level talent, which can only be used once in a lifetime."
