Chapter 840 Showdown

 “Drink ah ah ah ah!!”

Duanmu Ai jumped up, and the war hammer in his hand directly hit the surface of the huge, dark Holy Grail. Under Duanmu Ai's blow, even the huge Holy Grail began to shake, and cracks appeared on the surface. , but soon, these cracks were quickly repaired and restored to their original shape in the blink of an eye.

 At the same time, a voice sounded.

"What a fool. As a human being, you are a fool who tries to eradicate human desires... I am the one who makes the person who obtains it realize all their dreams and is revered, and that is the existence called the Holy Grail."

"so what?"

Duanmu Ai stepped back and grasped the war hammer again. At the same time, Alice and Huang Long emerged from her side, manipulating the power of death and thunder to blast the Holy Grail.

 However, even when attacked by two powerful electronic demons, the Holy Grail remained unwavering.

"What you see, the scene in the original prison, is the form of human desire. Equality is bound, giving up thinking, having no concern for the world...turning everything into nothing, stupid Incomparable people. Their souls have long been corrupted by lazy desires and turned into prisons."

 “Boom!”

 The war hammer swung out from Duanmu Ai's hand again and hit the Holy Grail, but his words were not interrupted.

"This is the choice of the world, so why do you want to save them? Isn't it a very suitable ending for them to completely perish in the cage they created?"

"Why………"

Hearing the other party's boring words, Duanmu Ai sighed silently.

"Why does every stupid idiot BOSS use this statement to justify what he does? Indeed, I admit that humans have blind obedience, credulity, and stupidity, but..."

As he spoke, Duanmu Ai raised his head and looked at the huge Holy Grail in front of him.

"So what, it's none of your business? When will it be your turn to point fingers at our human affairs? What kind of choice should human beings make? What kind of fate should human beings face? What does your own business have to do with your broken cup?"

"Hehehe, it's me? Do you want to know my identity? I am the Holy Grail that can make wishes come true - no, I rule by making wishes come true. Maybe it would be more appropriate to call me God!"

"god?"

"Yes, there is freedom to not have to think, freedom to not have to choose, but if everyone thinks that if the sky falls, someone will carry it, and in the end no one will bear the problem, then it is natural. Then, when the sky really falls, Who will take responsibility?"

 “Huh, bystander effect?”

Duanmu Ai also heard some psychological knowledge from Lumière, so he naturally knew what the Holy Grail wanted to say.

　　People who gave up thinking in prison before were the embodiment of the herd effect, but now, what this Holy Grail refers to is the bystander effect.

As the Holy Grail said, for something alone, if a single individual is asked to complete it alone, the sense of responsibility will be strong. But conversely, if a group is required to complete tasks together, then the sense of responsibility of individuals in the group will weaken, and they will often choose to retreat when faced with difficulties or responsibilities.

 “You mean, you are responsible for protecting humans?”

"That's right! Humanity longs for the Holy Grail to become the **** who rules humanity, so I appear here!"

The voice of the Holy Grail became louder and louder, and then the originally dark Holy Grail suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden flash, illuminating everything around it.

"Submit to me and don't continue to resist my existence. If you continue to resist, then there will be no place for you in this world! You will be completely expelled from this world! I and the human consciousness of this world Will merge into one, they are me and I am them!”

"---boom!"

However, the Holy Grail's impassioned speech ended here, because at this moment, the golden warhammer roared and tore through the darkness, hitting its surface heavily. Under Duanmu Ai's full blow, the huge and thick Holy Grail also Then it begins to break—and then to grow again.

“It’s useless! As long as there are humans in this world who yearn for me, I will not lose! Let alone die!”

“What you said is as touching as the protagonist’s and makes people cry.”

Duanmu Ai landed on the ground again and turned the hammer in his hand.

 “But unfortunately, that’s the end of it.”

"What?"

 “Boom————!”

As Duanmu Ai's words fell, the next moment, not far behind her, a dilapidated statue emitted a dazzling light. Shining, pure white light pillars rose into the sky. An angel in armor raised his hand high. The sharp blade was aimed at the Holy Grail in front of him.

“Since you talk a lot of nonsense, don’t blame me for being rude! Get rid of it, Lepis!”

Yes, just like when D fought against the Ten Heroes of Disaster, after realizing that the Holy Grail could not be killed no matter how hard it was hit, Duanmu Ai secretly summoned the [Sealed Seraph]. Fortunately, this Holy Grail was nonsense. Enough that Duanmu Ai easily awakened [Sealed Seraph] again without even using other soul cards to accelerate!

 It can be seen that the BOSS cannot talk nonsense during the final battle, otherwise it will be easy to be killed by the plot.

Following Duanmu Ai's order, Seraph raised the sword in his hand and pointed at the Holy Grail in front of him.

 The torrent of light roared down.

The waterfall-like beam of light completely enveloped the Holy Grail, which shone with golden light. Under the impact of this light, the Holy Grail gradually began to break, tear, and decompose.

"That's... why, why can you summon her?"

At this moment, the voice of the Holy Grail also lost its previous calmness and stability, and became frightened.

"No, this is impossible! That person is already dead! She is already dead! No... you can't do this! Those humans are still connected to me. Once you destroy the Holy Grail, their spirits will follow. Crush! Turn into a zombie-like existence...!"

 “That’s a real pity.”

However, facing the roar of the Holy Grail, Duanmu Ai had no expression on his face.

“But…there is no sacrifice too great to bear, and no betrayal too small to be tolerated.”

"what are you saying………"

 The next moment, the Holy Grail was completely shattered and disappeared in front of the holy flames.

 However, this is not the end.

 “Hoo————!”

At the moment when the Holy Grail was completely broken, the ground began to crack, and then countless dark and huge tentacles stretched out from it. They swept across everything like angry blades, whether it was Alice, Huang Long, or even the Seraph in the sky. It was completely shattered by the blow of these tentacles, and then, these tentacles were seen surrounding Duanmu Ai, and then ruby-like eyes emerged from their limbs, staring at the girl in front of him.

 Subsequently, a thick, huge figure appeared in front of Duanmu Ai.

"Are you still alive?"

“That’s right.” Duanmu Ai snapped his fingers, and the next moment, the tall girl with long black hair and blue eyes disappeared, replaced by a petite girl with long silver hair and wings.

“Finally I found you, the person who tried to destroy humanity, who are you? You shouldn’t be...the Great Immortal with great power, right?"

As he spoke, Duanmu Ai looked at the person in front of him - well, strictly speaking, this couldn't even be considered a human being. At least in Duanmu Ai's view, it looked like a spirit that could walk on two legs. The tiger's pattern is no different from that of a tiger, and it also has a ruby ​​inlaid on its chest like Ultraman.

 I just don’t know if it will beep or not.

“I never thought that in this era, there would be people like you protecting human beings.”

The tiger spirit stared at Duanmu Ai coldly, and the latter also stared at the tiger spirit.

 “So, you are the one leading all this behind the scenes?”

"Yes, I will merge with the human spirit and completely become their god. In fact, before this, I also tried to find a few stupid guys and gave them power so that they could help me complete my plan, but it seems that humans are really fragile, even if I give them power, they can't do even a little bit of it."

“That power called PERSONA, was it you who gave them?”

 “That’s right.”

Hearing this, Duanmu Ai also looked gloomy, while Tiger Spirit nodded.

"who are you?"

"Now that you have finally come to me, I don't mind answering your question. Who am I, you ask? I exist as the Magic King Solomon. I am an institution created by the Magic King. Together with Solomon Ruling the country, it is also the original curse that was abandoned by the death of Solomon. It uses Solomon's body as a nest and obtains the summoning form of the body within it. Those who gain true wisdom, and those who are expected for this, will become human beings. History is the fuel for those who sail to the extreme and create new stars.”

Having said this, the tiger spirit raised his head proudly.

“I am the one who controls the 72 curses and burns out all history. I am the incinerator of human nature—the Demon King Goetia!”

Hmm, let’s call him Tiger Spirit.

  In any case, Duanmu Ai didn’t know what Goetia was.

But at least one thing was clear to her.

 “Are you the one trying to destroy humanity?”

 “That’s right.”

 The tiger spirit opened his hands.

"On this planet, even gods can only die. This planet itself is a mistake. I will burn away human reason, use all of this as fuel to go to the extreme, and look back at the past 4.6 billion years , go to the moment when the celestial body was born in this field, re-create this planet, restart creation, and create a planet without the concept of death! This is our great cause!"

As he spoke, the tiger spirit looked at Duanmu Ai with a proud look, but the latter also opened his jaw with a look of shock and disbelief.

 Seeing Duanmu'ai's expression, the tiger spirit became even more proud.

"For us, humans are just fuel to travel to the primitive universe. Do you understand? Since you are an angel, you should also understand how unreasonable the existence of death is. Join us and be with us... "

"That's it?"

However, Duanmu Ai's reaction was beyond the tiger spirit's expectation. She did not panic or scream in fear, but stared at her with an indescribable look, as if she was looking at someone mentally retarded. Hold yourself.

“You destroyed human history just to go back in time and reshape the planet??”

 “That’s right!”

Looking at Duanmu Ai's expression as if he was looking at a fool, the tiger spirit also snorted coldly, while the latter simply shook his head.

“…Good guy, this is the first time I have really seen the emperor’s golden pole…Illiteracy is really terrible…So I wasted so much time and ended up wasting it on this mentally retarded person?”

At this moment, Duanmu Ai was really shocked and speechless. He originally thought that there was at least some other explanation for the BOSS's destruction of humanity this time, but he didn't expect that he actually wanted to reshape the planet?

 My Lord, the universe is so big, can’t you just find a place to build a planet? Do you have to go to such extreme lengths? If you have no way out, I can introduce it to you...

Duanmu Ai feels like watching a mastermind summon a demon king to destroy the world, and his only wish is to be a mayor...

Tsk, tsk, tsk, this shows that being uneducated is really terrible. The world is so big, how about you go out for a walk?

 Forget it, this is not the first time I have seen such an idiot.

Duanmu Ai took a long breath and suppressed the speechlessness in his heart. During the Inquisitor era, he had seen evil magicians who sacrificed the entire planet to evil gods in order to be able to go to space.

　　Hey, this shows that if civilization does not develop, it will be a mess...it's all a mess...it's just the emperor who cultivates the land with a golden pole, right?

"Why………"

Duanmu Ai sighed silently.

“Forget it, let’s just do it as soon as possible. I’m not interested in playing games with illiterate people.”

"oh?"

 Hearing Duanmu Ai's soliloquy, the tiger spirit chuckled.

 “Do you think you can defeat me, angel?”

 “Of course I can’t.”

Duanmu Ai is also very calm. She is now a pure full-level player, and she is facing a demigod or even a quasi-god level existence. This is like a showdown between true gods and mortals in the world of Faerun. No matter how awesome you mortal is, you will be the only true god. If you kill everything instantly, you will just lie down. Both parties are not on the same level, so it is meaningless to talk about levels.

 But I can’t, I can shake people.

 For example......

"It's not polite to come back without reciprocating. Since you have already introduced yourself, let me come too..."

As she spoke, Duanmu Ai raised her right hand, and then a card appeared out of thin air and fell into her hand.

 “PERSONA!”

As Duanmu Ai clenched his right fist hard, the card was shattered, and then, a huge figure larger than the tiger spirit, wearing pitch-black armor and with eyes shining with blood-red light, appeared behind the angel!

 Seeing this figure, the tiger spirit's expression suddenly changed!

"Oh it's you……!"

 “That’s it, idiot!”

At this moment, the tentacles squirmed and swung towards the steel giant in front of them. At the same time, the tiger spirit also raised his hands, and the powerful power condensed and gathered in his hands, and a shining brilliance emerged. At the same time, the steel giant roared and rushed forward. He broke away and tore apart the army of tentacles that swarmed from all directions to try to stop him. Then, the steel giant was like an out-of-control mud car. Like a car, it collided heavily with the tiger spirit!
