Chapter 268: [268] The Space Wall Surrounding the Earth, the Interstellar Civilization of the Great Qin Empire [2]
In the real A Fang Palace.
Sitting on the throne, Qin Shi Huang suddenly felt something was off: "Why does it feel like my dark history is being exposed?"
Earlier, Nameless had specifically projected a video for him to watch, claiming that after viewing it, he would gain confidence to confront the Council of Gods.
Qin Shi Huang's feelings were quite complex.
After hearing what Nameless had said, he had unhesitatingly announced nationwide that countless citizens, who had been intimidated by the Council of Gods's cosmic fleet, should all watch.
This was absolute trust in his master.
Back in "Absolute Demonic Front," the King of Heroes and Nameless had teamed up to battle the goddess of demon beasts and the ultimate human evil, Tiamat.
They had composed a moving epic of heroism.
But now.
In the video, he was not the same as the King of Heroes from "Absolute Demonic Front"; he was standing on the opposing side of Chaldea.
He even sent people to deal with Chaldea!
This was clearly the hallmark of a villainous BOSS!
Nameless, are you there? Care to explain?
Is my dark history about to be publicly executed?
Qin Shi Huang suddenly discovered another blind spot.
In the video, he was speaking continuously, yet his figure was nowhere to be seen.
Even his voice sounded mechanical and hollow, echoing throughout the grand hall.
As if the entire Epang Palace was his body!
This strange thought emerged, making Qin Shi Huang look down at the moving palace beneath his feet, suddenly feeling as if layers of seals were being unlocked.
He once again touched the core.
In that moment, Qin Shi Huang had an epiphany—
So, the Epang Palace is my body!
At this moment, Qin Shi Huang finally understood.
Why, after descending in the form of a heroic spirit, there was no distinction of gender.
Because, my gender is me!
Such a vast and magnificent Epang Palace is truly his body, and it naturally cannot have a gender.
"Your Majesty?" Zhuge Liang asked quietly.
Anyone witnessing this scene would know that the emperor in the anomaly was definitely going to be at odds with Chaldea.
Just moments ago, he had called upon the entire nation to witness his heroic demeanor.
Now, just a little time later, they saw him appearing as the villainous BOSS.
Once he was defeated by Chaldea, it would surely bring disgrace upon him.
Forget about the united front against the Council of Gods; countless citizens of Longguo would undoubtedly fall into existential doubt.
"Let's just watch quietly!"
Qin Shi Huang replied calmly.
Since Nameless asked him to watch the video first, he would see why he was at odds with Chaldea.
There would surely be various twists ahead!
In the grand hall.
Countless heroic spirits continued to watch the video with complex emotions, fearing that in the next moment, the emperor would be taken down by Nameless.
You say the emperor was personally taught by Nameless, so he wouldn't be able to strike him down?
Let's not forget, in "Unlimited Blade Works," Nameless had unhesitatingly severed the elbow of his dear friend, the King of Heroes, and ripped out his heart!
The video continued.
Under the command of Qin Shi Huang in the anomaly.
Hinako directly led her summoned heroic spirits to launch a strike.
She appeared as a literature girl still wearing glasses, yet filled with rage.
Hinako snorted, "Hmph, what a serious expression, Mash Kyrielight; I thought you would show a despicable laugh."
She had initially been a candidate master for Chaldea.
But on the very first day Nameless joined, Chaldea encountered a mysterious and terrifying explosion, causing her and the other 47 masters to be frozen for protection.
"This is a betrayal among friends! How could I possibly laugh at you?" Mash replied seriously.
"That makes it even more hopeless; you beasts who feel no shame for your own stench!"
Hinako said mercilessly, "I don't hate you, nor do I despise you; you're not worth my effort. I can only regard you as pests to be exterminated!"
Clearly a gentle and charming literature girl, her words were now filled with endless rage.
In Chaldea.
Watching the video, Mash turned her head blankly to look at Hinako beside her: "Is this really you?"
What happened to the literature girl?
What happened to the quiet and demure lady?
How did she turn into a furious older sister, coming out swinging?
"I…"
Hinako put down her book, feeling a bit tearful.
After pretending for so long in Chaldea, why was she exposed by Alaya?
Damn Alaya!
Beside her, Da Vinci and Doctor Roman both stared at her with strange expressions.
Hinako lightly coughed: "Let's watch the video, watch the video!"
The exposure of her furious personality could still be explained by the anomalies in the anomaly.
As long as her true identity wasn't revealed, it would be fine.
On the screen.
Nameless frowned, staring at her: "Hinako, are you sure you want to fight us?"
"Ha! I've said all I need to; I will definitely take you all down!" Hinako replied without courtesy.
Nameless retorted even more curtly: "Ha! You, the gaming noob, Hinako, are boasting about dealing with us?"
"Go, Saber, take him down!"
Hinako exploded with anger and gave the order directly.
The heroic spirit she summoned was none other than the Prince of Lanling.
A general from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, serving the Northern Qi.
Renowned for his beauty and valor, he was praised as the God of War of Qi!
He loved his soldiers like his own children, sharing even a piece of fruit with them.
He appeared wearing a mask, elegantly saying: "Sorry, everyone."
At that moment.
Nameless suddenly waved his hand: "Wait! Prince of Lanling, I know you wear a mask to hide your beauty, so how about we have a beauty contest?"
"Uh, a contest of looks?" The Prince of Lanling was taken aback.
He possessed a beauty that could topple kingdoms.
To prevent his soldiers from being swayed by his looks, he wore the [Mask of Hidden Beauty].
Additionally, he had the [Demonic Charm], making him one of the most handsome men in the world.
If he took off the mask, everyone around would be swayed, causing a charm effect similar to that of a seductress.
The Prince of Lanling looked at him strangely: "Are you sure?"
This was the first time someone wanted to compete with him in beauty.
Countless onlookers couldn't help but facepalm at this scene—
-[Wow, Nameless is really bold, actually challenging the Prince of Lanling, who is famous for his beauty. Isn't that bullying?]
-[How infuriating, the crowned beauty can do whatever they want?]
-[Sorry, they can do whatever they want, defeating you in your proudest area!]
-[Tsk, in the last singularity, Nameless even received the blessing of the beautiful youth from the God of Love, possessing a charm that even gods cannot resist!]
...
"Of course!"
Nameless confidently looked at Hinako and Mash: "Who is more charming, me or the Prince of Lanling?"
At that moment, the original [Facial Concealment] he had vanished in an instant, completely revealing his true form.
The charm of an EX-level red-eyed beauty youth, combined with the transcendence and battle intent that walked through human history, left all the audience utterly mesmerized.
The usually gentle youth had completely transformed into the unattainable white moonlight in the hearts of countless people.
"Your beauty is unmatched; how could the Prince of Lanling compare to you?" Da Vinci smiled.
Mash blushed: "Of course the Prince of Lanling can't compare to my senpai!"
In her eyes, her senpai was the most charming person in the world.
Forget about these two.
Even Hinako was momentarily stunned.
Even the Prince of Lanling himself looked at Nameless with great surprise.
It was clear that the victor had been decided!
Hinako quickly reacted, unable to help but snort: "This doesn't count! As a man, it's not about looks; it's about fighting!"
"Oh, are you sure you want to continue fighting me, Yu Ji?" Nameless directly revealed her true name.
"How did you know?"
Hinako—
No, she should be called Yu Ji, looked at him in shock.
When was she exposed?
Clearly, back in Chaldea, they didn't allow body checks, so it was impossible to be revealed, right?
At this moment, Nameless smiled and extended his hand: "How does my blood taste?"
"It's you!"
Yu Ji coldly stared at him, revealing two sharp little fangs.
This guy had left her behind during the final battle, directly sacrificing himself and disappearing.
She had been searching all along, yet she couldn't find the other person.
As a result, now that person had actually been resurrected through the technique of the filthy earth, reappearing before her in the form of a Chaldea Master.
The most crucial part was that she had met this person many times before, yet she had never recognized them.
Without hesitation, she lunged forward: "You damn bastard, I'm going to bite you to death!"
As she bit down, she instinctively relaxed a lot.
"I'm sorry, the final battle was between me and Qin Shi Huang; I shouldn't have dragged you into it." Nameless gently reached out to pat the top of her head.
Yu Ji snorted coldly, "Hmph, don't think that by letting me drink your blood, I'll forgive you!"
Though she said that, she was actually enjoying it immensely.
Her cheeks flushed, her eyes glistening with tears, wearing an expression of utmost satisfaction.
Beside them, Mordred looked at the two with a face full of suspicion: "This guy is actually a vampire?"
Otherwise, why would she be drinking blood?
"Get lost! I'm not a vampire; I'm an immortal!" Yu Ji retorted angrily.
This was intolerable.
As a noble spirit of the Reverse Side of the world, her status was even more special than that of gods.
Nameless continued, "If a child does not learn, it is the father's fault; if the teaching is not strict, it is the teacher's laziness. If Zheng'er has gone astray, it is my responsibility to help him."
"Hmph, do you want me to be a traitor?" Yu Ji finally reluctantly released his hand.
"Back then, I had you and Tamamo as trump cards, and I had this intention, right?"
Nameless sighed softly.
He had originally thought to use the two as trump cards against the gods.
Fortunately, they had defeated the gods and restored freedom to the world.
Unfortunately, defeating the gods had turned the dragon slayers into evil dragons.
What was the difference between the tyrannical Qin Shi Huang and those lofty gods?
"I can do it!"
Yu Ji nodded without hesitation, looking fearful that he might change his mind.
Back then, it was precisely because she hesitated for a moment that she never saw him again.
It had been thousands of years since their last parting!
Nameless nodded, reaching out to stroke her head: "Alright, don't push yourself too hard. If he really notices, just expose your identity directly."
"Hmph, even after thousands of years apart, you are still as indecisive as ever."
Yu Ji snorted, but her small face couldn't hide the smile as she left.
The scene shifted.
She returned to the Epang Palace, pretending to be injured: "I'm sorry, I couldn't defeat them at all, but that Chaldea Master was also injured (from my bite), bleeding profusely (from my drinking), and poses a great threat!"
"Is merely driving you back considered a threat? To me, it's just a trivial game," Qin Shi Huang replied indifferently. "In battle, the goal must be victory. You haven't even had your elbows chopped off, nor has anyone dug out your heart; what do you call this if not cowardice?"
"I understand now; next time, I will definitely bring you an elbow!" Yu Ji replied through gritted teeth.
This familiar scene made the audience burst into laughter—
-[Damn, just like the three goddess alliance in 'Absolute Demonic Front', is Nameless going to conquer them again?]
-[What three goddess alliance? It's clearly a traitor alliance!]
-[Yu Ji, who instantly gives in, is the next one to fall; is that little fox going to be next?]
-[Nameless isn't planning to target the people around Qin Shi Huang to turn against her, is he?]
-[Elbows and digging out hearts... the King of Heroes wants to punch someone!]
...
At the Tohsaka household.
Rin looked at the two goddesses in the council meeting: "See, I'm talking about you two!"
"What does it have to do with me? I'm not part of the three goddess alliance!" Ishtar rolled her eyes.
She was completely free and had never joined.
"It has to do with me, it has to do with me. I only wanted to save those people and collect their souls," Ereshkigal weakly explained.
The reason she joined the three goddess alliance was to rescue the innocent.
To protect their souls in the underworld, allowing them to return once the disaster was over.
If it weren't for Nameless's appearance, everyone would have considered her the culprit; no one would believe her.
Rin stared at the figure on the screen: "How many girls has this guy enchanted?"
"Do you remember every piece of bread you've eaten?" Ishtar retorted.
He walked through human history, saving countless people; it seemed quite normal for him to be admired and liked.
The problem was, why did it have to be said that the most beautiful and virtuous goddess was the monkey king?
Just look at how he treats Yu Ji!
Damn Nameless, when we meet, I'm definitely going to beat him up—
No, I'll make him pay in full!
In the video.
Standing to the side, Scathach mocked mercilessly: "As expected, you can't do anything at all!"
"None of your business!" Yu Ji shot her a sideways glance.
"Haha, just wait and see my performance."
Scathach grew increasingly smug.
As the fifth human evil's little avatar, she loved to toy with humans and human history.
Sigh, it was just for fun!
At this moment, Qin Shi Huang said indifferently: "Scathach, you should stand aside."
"Huh???"
Scathach glared at him angrily, "Your Majesty, after all this time, you should remember my name, Scathach!"
"Oh, Scathach, I have never regarded Chaldea as a true enemy," Qin Shi Huang replied calmly.
Scathach continued to fan the flames: "Your Majesty, Chaldea's mission is to summon heroic spirits to destroy your empire!"
"Why do those guys want to resurrect the dead and humiliate them? In my peaceful realm, there is no need for heroic spirits; everyone can enjoy peace forever!"
Qin Shi Huang replied with great authority.
Yes, he now ruled the entire world, and everyone lived in peace and prosperity.
There was no war, and it was impossible to summon the dead as heroic spirits and force them to fight.
Scathach nodded: "Indeed, in this world, it seems that Alaya does not exist at all."
"But allowing those people to recklessly manipulate the dead is something I find quite displeasing."
Qin Shi Huang was completely unconcerned about her instigation, turning his gaze to another side, "Captain of the Guards, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, it cannot be ruled out that those people are the lackeys of the vanguard," the Captain of the Guards replied respectfully.
The Great Qin's painstakingly built space wall was not merely to defend against the Huns.
Those guys had long been wiped out by the Great Qin.
The real enemies they needed to defend against came from outer space!
It was news that the Emperor had heard from Nameless, saying that there existed a terrifying enemy capable of destroying civilizations—
Starborne Vanguard!
Those guys came from outer space, and their sole purpose was to annihilate all civilizations.
Qin Shi Huang issued an order: "Good, then you shall unseal one of the sleeping heroes under my command."
"Understood, Your Majesty!"
The Captain of the Guards was momentarily taken aback but accepted this important task calmly.
Those who had been frozen for countless years might enter a rampaging state upon being unsealed, facing certain danger.
And he, as the Captain of the Guards appointed by Qin Shi Huang, was meant to assist in managing these individuals.
Boom—
The sealed doors of the Lishan Hero Repository slowly opened, revealing rows of frozen chambers, each containing a historical figure familiar to the people of Longguo!
