Chapter 365: [365] Souma, Who Became Jack the Ripper’s Mother, and the Heartwarming Father-Daughter Bond Between Mordred and King Arthur [2]
Mash and Mordred were increasingly shocked.
What the hell, what kind of strange play is this?
Can you really go back after being born?
The problem is, if you go back, you can only die!
"Yes, Jack kills to go back and enjoy the warmth inside her mother." Nameless felt increasingly awkward.
As a grown man, he certainly doesn’t have that kind of organ!
Explaining this in public is like a public execution!
Little Jack, with her adorable demeanor, pleaded: "Mommy, can I go back?"
In her hand, she once again pulled out a dagger, looking as if she wanted to disembowel him.
With the most innocent smile, she spoke the most terrifying words.
"No, that would hurt Mommy. Let me hold you like this." Nameless said in a tone meant to soothe a child.
"Jack doesn’t want Mommy to hurt. Mommy, hold me~"
Little Jack tilted her cute little face up, arms wide open, easily lifted by him.
Mash watched the scene of "motherly love" and suddenly felt it was incredibly unreal.
If Senpai becomes a mom, then what does she become?
The audience was also increasingly shocked—
[Little Jack’s disembowelment is actually a desire to return to her mother’s womb?]
[How tragic for Little Jack, a collective of children who couldn’t even be born... sigh, so many irresponsible parents, it’s truly a sin!]
[Yeah, I just saw someone in my school give birth in the bathroom in middle school... ]
[What’s wrong with male mothers? Are male mothers not mothers? So angry, when will we male mothers be able to stand up?]
[Hahaha, it’s confirmed, Emiya is a housewife!]
At the Tohsaka residence.
In the conference room of the mind.
Ishtar couldn’t help but angrily say, "Damn it, how many ** children in London could form a collective consciousness like Little Jack!"
Only by reaching a certain terrifying number could a collective consciousness be born.
As the goddess of [Fertility], she naturally detests the act of casually snuffing out life.
"Indeed terrifying, I can clearly see the countless resentments coalescing within her." Ereshkigal couldn’t help but frown.
As the goddess of the underworld, she could see that Nameless was right.
Little Jack indeed harbored the resentments of countless fetuses.
Each one, unable to be born, formed a terrifying resentment that drove her madly to want to return to her mother’s womb.
This was the true reason behind her disembowelment!
Tohsaka Rin pondered: "It’s quite normal; at that time, during the Industrial Revolution, pollution was at its worst, and workers were the most exploited."
The Industrial Revolution sounds glorious and great, but in reality, it turned countless ordinary people into fuel.
London, known as the "Fog City," was a result of the horrific pollution caused by the earlier Industrial Revolution.
The infamous Great Smog of London directly killed thousands of people.
And caused hundreds of thousands to suffer from respiratory diseases, horrifying to the point of being appalling.
"How pitiful." Ereshkigal couldn’t help but feel sympathy.
Looking at the spoiled and cute Little Jack.
It made her mind involuntarily wander.
If she and Nameless were to have a child, would they be this cute too?
No, no, they would definitely be even gentler than Little Jack!
In the video.
After Nameless managed to win over Little Jack, he continued on, encountering Andersen and other heroic spirits.
With their assistance, he quickly found the mastermind behind the magical fog.
A man in a suit was looking at everyone with a mocking expression.
When Matou Sakura saw the figure on the screen, she couldn’t help but exclaim: "Isn’t that Matou Zōken, Grandpa?"
When she had just been adopted into the Matou family, he was still alive and treated her very gently.
Yet, she could vaguely sense some inexplicable horror that made her instinctively reluctant to approach him.
But for some reason, he suddenly died, disappearing without a trace.
As if someone had forcefully acted, completely eliminating him.
So powerful that even the thousand-year-old magic family, the Matou clan, couldn’t resist!
Sakura couldn’t quite understand.
What had that gentle and kind old man done to provoke someone?
Now, seeing Matou Zōken appear as the villain boss, she vaguely understood something.
Could it be Emiya?
With his identity traversing human history, he would definitely be able to see what kind of sins Matou Zōken had committed to warrant being erased!
As Sakura’s emotions became complex and her thoughts wandered.
Matou Zōken looked at the Chaldea group and coldly snorted: "Whether in the past, present, or future, my king has long decided not to allow any existence!"
"The great king has long grown tired of humanity’s ugliness. Let me borrow my king’s power to completely exterminate you!"
"One of the seventy-two pillars of demon gods. The demon god Barbatos, this is my evil form!"
He transformed into a terrifying demon pillar, aiming to crush Nameless and the others head-on.
Countless tentacles and eyes brought an overwhelming sense of fear.
Unfortunately.
It was utterly useless.
Under the joint attack of Nameless, Mash, and Little Jack, he was easily defeated.
"Useless, useless, die!" Nameless slashed off one of his arms with a sword.
With another sword, he pierced through his chest, completely erasing him!
But at the last moment of Matou Zōken’s life.
This terrifying old immortal roared loudly: "Come, my last heroic spirit, enough to complete my evil... Star Pioneer!"
"You are the one imprisoned in the cage of madness, I am the master holding its chains!"
"You are the seven days bound by the three great words! The guardian of the scales, coming from the wheel of self-restraint!"
It was the Holy Grail heroic spirit summoning system.
Able to summon heroic spirits to descend.
Under his summoning.
The Holy Grail’s endless magical power gathered.
Zzzz~
Lightning erupted, going wild.
Everything around was exploding in the thunder.
A voice rang out—
"Who is calling me?"
"Summoned the genius and the embodiment of thunder, I, Nikola Tesla!"
"How interesting! Summoning the one who brought humanity myth, surpassing Indra, even Zeus cannot compare to me!"
Amidst the endless thunder.
He descended before everyone like a thunderous Zeus.
"Just as you wish! The genius and embodiment of thunder, I shall descend to this world!"
Surrounded by endless lightning, he displayed a terrifying power that surpassed the gods.
As a hero at the turning point of human history, he would pass down the thunderous power that only existed in the age of gods to humanity, naturally possessing EX-level [Star Pioneer].
Along with a series of enhancements, granting him astonishing power comparable to the gods.
After his arrival.
The magical fog was instantly infused with the deadly terrifying power of lightning.
Endless thunder flashed wildly, enough to electrocute everyone.
In this critical moment.
Mordred did not hesitate to swing her Noble Phantasm: "For my father king’s magnificent rebellion!"
Boom!
A brilliantly blood-red beam of light erupted, instantly shattering the endless thunderous magical fog before her.
However.
"Belonging to the old era, the heroic spirit Mordred, let me capture both the earth and heavenly heroic spirits in one net!"
Nikola Tesla sneered: "The new era has arrived; the old era no longer has a reason to exist!"
"Come! The dregs of fantasy, the old myths that are becoming increasingly illusory!"
He showed no respect for the Knights of the Round Table.
Or rather.
He himself is the chosen one of the new era, completely indifferent to the old age.
"Watch out, senpai!" Mashu unhesitatingly raised her shield, wanting to protect the other person.
The problem is, how do you defend against such a thunderous power?
It was clearly sweeping in from all directions, rampantly!
"Hmm? I was once a heroic spirit who loved humanity. But now, I will unleash thunder and devour all existence from the top of Buckingham Palace!"
Nikola Tesla’s expression was fervent, "Destroy the filthy civilization, tear apart the earth’s disguise, and burn everything to ashes!"
"From this singularity, the entire history of humanity will be obliterated!"
A hero of the new era of humanity, yet she wishes to personally annihilate human history.
The feelings of countless spectators were complex.
Clearly, this is absolutely the fault of the Demon King!
Zzzz~
The power of thunder gathered wildly in her hands, transforming into an enormous pillar of lightning.
Nikola Tesla shouted, "Farewell, heroic spirits of the old era!"
[Human Mythology - The Descent of Thunder (SystemKeraunos)!]
Her great achievements in life and various supernatural legends formed a mysterious mythological vessel.
Possessing a thunderous might so powerful it could take one’s breath away.
However.
In the face of such a terrifying attack.
Nameless waved his hand, forming an enormous steel cage that completely enveloped everyone within.
Mordred exclaimed, "Hey, hey, steel conducts electricity! Are you trying to kill us?"
After descending in her heroic spirit form, she had learned a lot of modern knowledge and was instantly frightened half to death.
"Steel does indeed conduct electricity. But this cage made of metal can create an equipotential body, making the internal potential difference zero, and the electric field zero!"
Nameless looked up at the enemy, who resembled a thunder god, and chuckled, "Since you claim the old era must be swept away, I will use the weapons of the new era against you."
[Faraday Cage!]
The brilliant purple lightning dragon crashed violently against the metal cage.
Just when Mordred thought she was done for, she discovered that the lightning was flashing wildly on the surface of the cage, yet she was completely unharmed.
Inside this clearly conductive metal cage.
No matter how much Nikola Tesla unleashed her world-destroying thunder strike, it could not harm anyone!
She was extremely astonished, saying, "Wow, this is amazing! There’s not a trace of lightning power inside! What kind of magic is this?"
The onlookers widened their eyes one by one—
[Damn, as expected of you, you actually thought of using a Faraday cage to counter Tesla!]
[Hahaha, Nameless is awesome! Can the Faraday cage counteract the tribulations of cultivation?]
[Tesla, Faraday... you two should stop fighting, this won’t kill anyone!]
[Little Mordred is hilarious! As long as you don’t understand physics and chemistry, life is full of magic!]
[As a magician, Nameless uses a Faraday cage, while as a scientist, Tesla ends up using magic—this is too out of place!]
...
In the hotel.
Gawain looked at Little Mordred with a strange expression: "As the Prime Minister of Britain, how can you be so illiterate?"
A Faraday cage, after all, is basic physics knowledge.
As a heroic spirit, shouldn’t she have memorized it all from the start?
If this gets out, it would mean that the Prime Minister of Britain is completely ignorant, wouldn’t that prove that all of Britain is illiterate?
"Hmph, how could I possibly be interested in such things?"
Mordred snorted coldly.
Damn it!
This was simply exposing her lack of culture in front of the whole world!
What a disgrace!
Artoria looked at her with a sharp gaze: "From today on, study hard!"
"Uh..."
Mordred was momentarily speechless.
Clearly, it was her fault, but you can’t just force me to study like this!
Gawain was filled with schadenfreude from the side.
Speaking of which, Little Mordred could be considered half a child of Nameless.
Earlier, when Little Jack had openly competed for Nameless, her lack of reaction was also incredibly embarrassing.
Little Jack, as a collective consciousness, must have recognized the relationship between Little Mordred and Nameless, which is why she was hostile towards her.
Tsk, Little Mordred, you really are blind to the Crown!
At that moment.
After Nameless easily defended against Tesla’s attack using the Faraday cage and defeated her.
Another heroic spirit descended!
Mashu said in shock, "That one holding a gun... entwined with a pitch-black spear... what ominous magical power, it’s King Arthur!"
"When she appeared, she devoured all the magical mist, her magical power immense to an astonishing degree!" Doctor Roman also spoke with great caution.
The one who appeared was none other than King Arthur.
But she was different from the usual sight.
She was shrouded in a chilling dark aura, as if completely infected by the black mud of the Holy Grail.
A King Arthur who had lost her sanity, resembling a berserker in her darkened state!
Mordred shouted in anger, "If you wanted to save this city, why didn’t you show up sooner?"
"Oh, I see, you’re here to kill me, aren’t you? Are you unhappy that I saved this city?"
"Hmph, do you hate me that much? You even brought the spear that could kill me!"
She drew the cursed sword, pointing it at the other.
Over a thousand years ago, the father and child had a loving relationship, now once again playing out in this singularity!
Doctor Roman shouted, "This is bad, her power is too strong, it’s best to retreat!"
Having just gone through a brutal battle, it would be best to retreat and regroup for a while before facing her again.
"No! I, Mordred, could never turn my back and flee from my father!"
Mordred grew increasingly furious, "Since you still hate me so much even as a heroic spirit, then I will betray you no matter how many times it takes!"
"Arthur!!!"
Her noble phantasm erupted in blood-red light, transforming into a soaring crimson beam, crashing towards the opponent.
[Rebellion Against My Magnificent Father—Clarent Blood Arthur!]
