Super power krypton gold [Comprehensive]

"At the end of the day---the shining gun!!!!!!"

……

Light is flowing.

It was originally just a ray of light in the boundless darkness, but the light expanded, expanded, and spread endlessly, and finally condensed into a monstrous wave that was one foot higher than the darkness, swallowing the darkness itself into it.The heavy shadow that shrouded the human-mask tree was not "a crack torn apart by the light", but like an isolated island, surrounded by the surging waves of light on all sides, and was submerged involuntarily.

And when I was in it, I felt that everything I could see was light, light, light, as if I was immersed in a bright ocean formed by the gathering of stars.

In this vast sea of ​​stars, I was so dazzled by the light that I couldn't open my eyes, so I had to rely on my instinct to reach out and call out my most trusted name at the same time.

"Edmond... Edmond Dantès? I can't see you. Are you there?"

Then, the expected answer rang in my ears.

"I'm here."

At the same time, I felt my hand hanging in mid-air with nowhere to fall, being wrapped in a coolness as solid as marble.

There was a slight sound of the cloak rubbing overhead, and at the same time, the thick and soft feel of the cloth fell from the shoulders.From the point of view of touch alone, it seems that the cave king unfolded his cloak, like a parent bird sheltering a chick under its wings, covering my whole body tightly in it.

"It's all right, Edmund."

I comforted him softly.

"Artoria's Holy Spear won't hurt me, I know it."

"I know too."

He answered so in his mouth, but he didn't withdraw the arm covering my head, instead he took a step forward and rubbed my hair with a gentle and gentle movement.

"It's just that I want to do it, Akane. I can't see you now either. Only in this way can I judge your position."

As if he felt that these words were not reasonable enough, he pondered for a while, and then added:

"If you let the scattered black mud splash on you, no one knows what will happen."

"..."

Facing this obviously overprotective line, I could only smile wryly, and at the same time raised my hand and tapped him lightly on the shoulder.

"So, it doesn't matter to me. Edmund, there should be more tasks that must be done by you than staying here to take care of me?"

"……that's true."

As if he had expected this long ago, the Cave King sighed resignedly, and finally let go of his hand and stepped back, letting me stand on my own footing.

"I see."

There was a kind of helpless connivance in his sigh:

"After the Human Face Tree disappears, I will find Melt Lilith and the possessed Amakawa Starbird, and bring them back safe and sound. This is your wish, isn't it?"

"Ah."

I nodded and smiled in the light, and then remembered that neither of us could see the other at this moment, so I bowed deeply to him straight away, with my forehead just touching his chest.

"Thank you, Edmund."

I sincerely thanked him, "For me who is so self-willed and naive that there is no cure, thank you for staying with me until the end."

"What do you say 'finally'. This is not the end, it's just the beginning?"

The Cave King corrected me in a deep voice:

"After liquidating the karma and grievances in the blood relationship, your own life has just begun, Qian. As for your character..."

I felt his hand stroking my hair slide down, with indescribable nostalgia and affection, his slender and cold fingers brushing through the hair, and finally resting slowly on my cheek.

"You are you, and you like yourself very much. Even if you are asked to change, you can't be manipulated by others."

"of course."

I affirmed it neatly, then shrugged my shoulders and laughed softly:

"And it's not just me who likes me. Edmund, you like me too, right?"

"……………………ha."

After a moment of silence, my laughter was mixed with the gloomy low laughter of the young man.Unlike when he laughed out loud, at this moment I can clearly hear the suppressed madness, deep grief and pain in his voice, and——

——After experiencing and seeing through all that, a quiet, transparent and open-minded relief.

It was as if when the rain had passed and the sky cleared, a refreshing wind blew across the open sea level that stretched infinitely like a mirror.

"That's right. It's because of you that I..."

Only this time, he responded to me with a sassy smile like a breeze, and his tone was clear and brisk.

Not the Cave King, but the smile of the 19-year-old sailor of the "Pharaoh"—Edmond Dantès.

It is not as cold and dark as the prison tower, but with the unique heat of life, reminiscent of the warm sunshine and wind, the waves hitting the reef, and the sailing boat on the sea.

I know that, as told in The Count of Monte Cristo, what Edmond Dantès lost cannot be undone.

More precious than any treasure, the golden age that will never return.

Obliterated by the long prison disaster, the spirit of a young man has changed beyond recognition.

The family love that disintegrates and disappears as time goes by, and cannot be repaired.

even so--

As long as the future continues, people can still meet and fall in love.

"A vengeful ghost needs no redemption. But I love you as others love their redemption."

——In the most brilliant light in the world, I heard the most beautiful confession in the world.

※※※

……

……

……

"……ended?"

"The Human Face Tree...has it really disappeared completely?"

"Have we... defeated that guy..."

"...Win!! We won, we survived from Tiamat!!!"

……

After half an hour—

Watching the figure of the Cave King disappear in the light, and watching him carry Lilith and Starbird out of the evaporating sea of ​​black mud one by one, my tense nerves finally relaxed in one breath, as thin as a gossamer, relying on my will The consciousness that was barely maintained by force also faded away.

When I woke up again, I was already on the beach where I parted ways with my colleagues, my back was numb from the gravel and gravel, and there were all kinds of confused or ecstatic murmurs in my ears.

"Sorry, I still can't believe it... I'm not dreaming, am I? Fujima, what do you think?"

"It's easy to handle, just pinch it and you will know. Nightingale, someone here suspects that he is hallucinating, please diagnose and treat—"

"Wait a minute?! This isn't a matter of choking, right? Stop, I don't need amputation to prove my sanity!! No need, you really don't need to do this!!!"

——Occasionally, such unique sand sculpture speeches will also be mixed in.

"..."

That's right.Judging from the above speeches, this is not a hallucination or a dream, it must be my dear colleague.

While my criteria are a bit odd, that's not the point.

"Uh……"

Amidst the great sense of security, I opened my heavy eyelids and supported my heavier body with my elbows. With great difficulty, I let my vision leave the ground and saw my colleagues rushing back and forth one by one. .

Beside me, many wounded were lined up neatly on the beach, like a row of salted fish waiting for the sun to dry.

"That...here is..."

My mind was still in chaos, I blinked my eyes hard, and whispered almost to myself.

"Really. If you can't see this little thing, you will know it? You are back. Back to the original point, where you started."

At this moment, Jeanne Alter's angry voice sounded from behind, dispelling the last trace of doubt in my heart in an instant.

I immediately turned around in surprise:

"Alter dear——"

"Kiss your head."

Joan rolled her kind and standard French eyes, raised the mineral water bottle in her hand, and knocked on the top of my head without any explanation.

Having said that, maybe because of my physical condition, the strength of her percussion is similar to "a small fist hits your chest".

"Okay, drink the water quickly and cheer up. Others are still searching for the leader's whereabouts all over the island. You are one of the leaders anyway. You can't just lie down and be lazy?"

"What... the leader escaped?! But, he should have—"

"Yes, he has been separated from Tianchuan Xingniao. The woman is still alive. If you want to find her, you will be among the wounded at the other end."

Joan explained casually, seemingly casually, but her brows were tightly knit into a knot, revealing the anxiety in her heart.

"The King of the Caves said that part of the black mud sank into the ground and disappeared. He is still looking for clues. Perhaps the man's 'consciousness' has not completely died. The evidence is..."

Joan of Arc reluctantly reached out to support my back, allowing me to sit upright and look up at the gloomy sky by the sea.

There we suddenly saw——

"Tiamat... Goddess?"

Not bad.

Even though the Human-Mask Tree has collapsed, the goddess, who towers into the sky like a giant tree, is still on the beach, and has not disappeared with the power of the Human-Mask Tree.

It's just that at this moment she temporarily stopped her actions, her eyes were empty looking down at the sea, her hands and long hair were lowered quietly, and her posture carried an innocent look that was almost at a loss.

(Looking carefully, her body seems to be gradually becoming transparent... Is it because the Human Face Tree is destroyed?)

"Perhaps it was because of the loss of magic power, Tiamat did not move forward. If it is left alone, it will disappear naturally after a while."

Joan explained briefly.

"But before that, we have to bring her summoner to justice...right?"

I supported my forehead with one hand, and felt that the bones in my whole body were crushing, and every muscle was so painful that it seemed to be broken on the spot.

"..."

Facing my obvious fatigue, Joan of Arc frowned even more tightly, cast a half critical, half helpless glance at me, and finally turned her head to the side with an expression of displeasure.

"Hmph, forget it. If I fight against the contractor with only one breath left, will I be read to death by them later? I am grateful for this kind of trouble."

"them……?"

I was puzzled for a moment, and was about to turn my stiff neck to follow her eyes, when I heard a burst of messy footsteps, and several intertwined voices calling:

"Master!!"

"General! Are you awake? Sit still and don't move around, let me check first..."

"Akane, are you okay? Is there any pain?"

"I said, give way! I can't squeeze in!!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

I was first knocked back by the oncoming Hotaru, and then surrounded by Yaoken, Qingguang and Bedivere, and almost fell flat on the ground again.

"Slow down, slow down, I'm fine, come one by one..."

I struggled to stop them from rushing forward, but there was no dissatisfaction in my heart. Instead, I felt an unspeakable joy and satisfaction filling my chest.

"Everyone is here. Everyone is safe and sound, so I can rest assured."

"Yeah. Thanks to you, Akane."

Suddenly, behind the crowd of people, a male voice that was not very familiar, but inexplicably familiar, sounded.

"...Chuyang? You are still alive, that's good..."

Fortunately, the crowd blocked the big brother's characteristic mohawk hair, so I didn't laugh immediately, allowing the atmosphere to remain precariously serious.

"I was right. Thank you so much for saving Starbird, Akane."

Chu Yang is also very serious.He thanked me solemnly, in a stiff tone that did not seem to be used among relatives.

"To be honest, I didn't expect you to save her. After all, Star Bird has never been friendly to you..."

"I know, she's a nasty guy who somehow got angry at me, unilaterally hated me, and was always keen to make things difficult for me. But 'this' and 'that' are two different things."

I shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly, raised my eyebrows, and spoke in an unprecedentedly relaxed and happy tone.

"I heard Tianchuan Xingdiao's 'help'. In this case, as a member of the Secret Service, there is only one thing to do, right?"

——That was to save her, nothing more.

"........."

Chu Yang was stunned with his mouth open for a while, and after a while he had difficulty reacting, and could only shake his head and smile softly:

"Akane Yuki... What kind of person are you? If we escape from this island, can we become people like you?"

"Well, who knows."

I put my fist up against my chin half-jokingly, "If I had to say it myself, I'm probably an 'ordinary people's policeman'."

"Really? Then you are really ordinary."

Joan Alter cast a heartless glance at the large group of supernatural powers around her, and whispered with a stiff expression.

"Hahaha……"

I brazenly pretended not to hear, turned to Chuyang and said with a straight face:

"In other words, although the star bird survived by chance... But as I said just now, one yard counts for one yard, and she must pay the price for what she has done. Considering your contribution in this battle, I think it should be dealt with lightly."

"...In other words, we will not be sentenced to death?"

"Unfortunately, that is not something I can decide. However, I will present my opinion to the court."

"Akane is really strict."

Chu Yang said so, but there was no resentment in his smile, but a bit of sadness with mixed feelings.

"However, this is enough. As long as we are still alive, as long as I can live with my mother and sister, this will be..."

——In an instant, his words stopped abruptly.

"Cy, get out of the way------!!!!!!"

In the next second, the voices of the Cave King and Chu Yang rang in his ears at the same time.Before I could regain my senses, I just felt my whole body lighten up, and my whole body was hugged horizontally by the Cave King who flashed from the side, and I appeared five meters away in an instant.

"Varied……"

Some kind of creepy revulsion climbed up my spine, and I looked down with lingering fear.

——Should I say "horrifying and bizarre" or "expected".

——In the position where I lay down just now, a [small quagmire] emerged for no reason.

"........."

Accompanied by the viscous sound of squirming meat, we watched foam appear on the mud, a series of cancer cell-like blisters floated up one after another, and then the mud began to distort and deform, crookedly piecing together an ugly human face appearance.

Then, the human face tentatively opened its "mouth" and began to speak to us.

【——————I won’t let you go. 】

[Chuyang, Xingniao, Xinghua.You are all my nourishment, don't even think about running away.There are other people who obstruct me, and no one can leave here alive. 】

"..."

To be honest, his harsh words with such a desolate character with only a puddle of mud and a face left, really have no deterrent effect at all.

I was thinking about where I should start to laugh at him, when suddenly I heard a series of exclamations, it was clear that my colleagues lost their positions before the sudden change:

"What's going on?! No!!"

"This is impossible! Tiamat... Tiamat, which was about to disappear, has started to move again!!!"

"……What?!!"

This time, even my color changed suddenly, and my eyes almost burst into flames when I cast my eyes on the black mud:

"What did you do?! The Human Face Tree has been destroyed, and now you don't have that kind of power—"

[Of course I have, my child.Ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! ! ! 】

As if feeling happy from the bottom of his heart, Hei Ni let out a long series of hoarse and ugly laughs.For the first time, I realized that including the Cave King, the laughter of the FGO Laughing Four Heavenly Kings is just like the sound of nature.

【Hahahahahaha... Tiamat will kill you all before I die.You ruined everything about me, do you still want to go back safe and sound?Die with me. 】

[Indeed, the power accumulated by the Human Face Tree no longer exists.But I can also offer it a new sacrifice, my own soul. 】

【Understand?The Human Face Tree is still alive!Even though there is only one sapling left, it still powers Tiamat. 】

【I——is the last human face. 】

"Tsk, this guy...!!"

The Cave King stretched out his hand forward, and a black flame that seemed to embody the anger was burning in the palm of his hand.

but--

"Please wait."

From beside us, Chuyang's incredibly calm voice came.

"King of the Caves, are you and Qian's physical strength already on the verge of limit? And everyone else too. That person should have hidden the 'main body' elsewhere. Even if the black mud is burned, it may not help, and there is no way to stop it." Tiamat kills everyone."

【Worthy of being my eldest son, he really knows a lot...】

"—So, please leave this place to me."

【……What? ? ? 】

"Father."

Chu Yang spoke solemnly, his voice was flat and solemn, but there was no trace of affection in his eyes.

"You should know, right? My ability. — After all, that ability was developed by you yourself."

【What, what...】

"There are two ways to use my ability. Compared with Akane who consumes 'money', my ability is to consume my own 'time' to complete the summoning. Every time I summon, my physical age will go backwards , until it degenerates into a young child or baby who has no power to bind a chicken, and finally rewinds back to the state of 'before birth', that is, it never existed. Therefore, I have never dared to overuse the ability."

(So ​​that’s how it turned out. Because of his ability, his age has shrunk, so in Chuyang’s "posthumous photo", he was already over 20 years old and still looked like a teenager...)

"And another way to use the ability is—"

【etc! !Wait a minute, Chuyang, what do you want to do? !Are you crazy? ! !If you do this, you will...]

"That's right, I want to use up my 'all remaining time' at once. Relatively, I can also transfer my 'everything' in the game to here within a period of time."

Turning a deaf ear to the frenzied roar of the man's face, Chu Yang spoke firmly.

"I think now is the time to use it."

"Wha... wait a minute, don't mess around!!"

No matter how dull I am, I have already heard the key at this moment. "Use all the time at once", isn't that just...

"Don't worry about me, Akane. You're right, Starbird and I were once part of a criminal gang, even if we didn't mean to. We've got to pay the price."

"..."

My outstretched fingertips rest in the void.

The back figure that should be close at hand is so far away for some reason.

"As the 'sister', you have worked so hard, so I, the 'big brother', can't fall behind, right? Oh, this line is a bit like "Gintama"."

——On the face slightly turned towards me, the eternal young man smiled brightly, like the first sun on the sea.

"Then, let's use my last ability."

"In exchange for my time."

"In exchange for my life."

"[My world is still here]——"

……

Then--

An incredible scene appeared.

Under the huge black shadow cast by Tiamat, countless translucent shadows emerged in front of everyone who was exhausted trying to stop her.

——That is a follower.

Every servant I know and can think of that exists in Chaldea has been given a body at an astonishing speed, blocking the Beast and us fragile and tenacious humans.

(That is to say... Chuyang's ability is to "only summon the entire card pool once"? No, it's not just that...)

I clearly saw that someone held Chu Yang's trembling hand, which shrank rapidly with the flow of time.

A boy with short black hair.

An orange-haired girl with ponytails tied sideways.

Girl with pink hair and glasses.

Beautiful woman holding a staff.

Also, the young man in white with long warm-toned hair tied up casually behind his head.

"What... that is..."

Undoubtedly, it was a scene that would be etched deep in the soul.No one spoke at this moment, only a grand and solemn silence fell around us.

"It's Chaldea..."

I don't know who broke the silence first, and said this in a sleepy voice.

"Not only the entire card pool, but also the ability to 'reproduce the protagonist and teammates in the game', as well as characters outside the card pool... Probably, that is another effect of his ability."

"........."

That is - Tianchuan Chuyang's ability.

The first and last, the world's only one night's dream.

——Our world is still here.
