Chapter 116. Surpassing Even Grand, The Embryonic Form of Beast!
["Yo~, is this 'Blood Princess' is your new cosplay, Kaguya?"]
[Raku Sou stood in the shadows, looking up, wearing a gentle smile. His glowing eyes were fixed on the top of the long staircase, cloak fluttering like a god, "If you've got nothing to do, then go home and eat dinner like a good girl."]
[That calmness, that serenity, was just like the boy-next-door big brother – so incredibly warm.]
[Kaguya's gaze wavered slightly, then turned cold again as she looked at her worthless older brother: "You're still dreaming at this point?"]
[Following her icy words.]
[In just a moment, the atmosphere fell into deadly silence.]
[A long time passed.]
[A sigh.]
["…Because," Raku Sou slowly retracted his smile, azure hair draping down both sides, aura flaring, he looked up at the girl, eyes calm and full of confidence: "I don't want to kill you… my little sister."]
[A flicker of surprise flashed in Kaguya's eyes, but then her expression turned icy as she coldly spat out words.]
["...Frog at the bottom of a well."]
[This fool, does he actually think that just because he can beat a Servant, he can beat her too?]
[Hmph~.]
[There are already gaps in strength even among Servants, let alone the fact that she is something far beyond what a Servant could ever compare to.]
[Normally, Heroic Spirits are summoned by the world itself as a power to protect humanity.]
[What humans summon, however, are Servants.]
[What determines the power of a Servant is the Spirit Origin/Saint Graph.]
[Servants, Grand Servants, Main God-level beings.]
[But above Main God, there still exists a being known as Beast!]
[They are called "Human Evil", great calamities rejected by human history!]
[They are disasters that threaten the history of humanity, destined to destroy all mankind!]
[They were born from human civilization, growing stronger alongside the progress of humanity, but they corrupt civilization from within – if one were to describe "Beast" in any way, then it would be as a "cancer cell"!]
[Human Evil is not malice that wants to destroy humanity, but evil that arises from humanity destroying itself.]
[At the moment, she might not be called a Beast yet.]
[No, not even close to being a larva of Beast.]
[But with the omnipotent grail in hand…]
["..."]
[Kaguya's indifferent gaze seemed to stretch into infinity.]
[Like a divine being ascending to the Star Realm.]
[Power like that of a demon god converged, her slender fingers counting silently in the void.]
[The next moment.]
["ROARRRR!!!"]
[Ancient auras erupted violently, time itself seemed to freeze at that moment.]
[With the roar, from each step of the staircase, shadowy silhouettes reemerged.]
[They were the great heroes of past and future, illustrious throughout history!]
["If you can, then try to stop me!"]
[That towering figure stood on the Throne of Heaven, coldly looking down on the tiny beings below.]
[Now…]
[You are the challenger!]
...
"Such arrogant words, but this person really does have the qualifications to say them…"
In Tokyo, the great yokai spider trembled, countless legs couldn't help but shiver.
Too terrifying. The staircase stretched endlessly into the sky, with a Heroic Spirit guarding each and every step — what kind of sky-shattering power would it take to pull this off?
Those specks of starry light, as if Heroic Spirits covered the whole sky, standing tall amidst thick clouds, a pitch-black mass… accompanied by an overwhelming aura that made it hard to breathe, as if the Heaven of ancient mythology had come to life.
So then, what kind of great existence could command countless Heroic Spirits to guard the "Gates of Heaven"…
...
"Maybe it could be called God King."
In Gensokyo, the gathering place of youkai, a voluptuous blonde big sis sighed in awe.
As a seasoned gap youkai who had lived for thousands of years, this was the first time she'd ever seen such a demonic magic genius.
Luckily, someone like that belonged to a parallel world, not this native one.
Otherwise, she would've already escaped to another planet to live in hiding.
Wait?
Something feels… off?
Yakumo Yukari narrowed her eyes slightly, sensing something had been overlooked.
Hold on!
Not in the real world?!
Could it be possible—just possibly—that something could summon a monster like Kaguya?
…Umu, better get ready to move house soon.
Otherwise, no place in this vast world will be safe to live in!
...
Reality.
A commotion erupted.
After going through the extreme shock—
Just as people around the world began regaining their senses, they immediately discovered something that left their brains short-circuited.
"Oh shit!"
Countless people screamed, "Adult Kaguya has boobs?!"
A miracle!
This truly was a miracle!
Yukinoshita Yukino remained "Flat-no" even after growing up, yet Kaguya went the opposite direction—just what is the logic behind this?
Those huge orbs hanging from those slender branches seemed to obey gravity, too eye-catching to ignore!
...
Inside the Celestial Curtain, at some unknown point, a noisy discussion had already broken out.
Feeling the all-too-familiar pitying gazes from those around her, Yukinoshita Yukino ground her teeth with a creaking sound, her pale hand clenched into a fist, cracking at the joints.
She forced a smile, as if trying to make excuses, "Maybe it's just the effect of the Black Holy Grail."
"Yukino, don't force yourself."
Yuigahama Yui looked at her with sorrow, "If you really can't manage later… I—I can help breastfeed your baby…"
"No no no, Yuigahama-san, this really is just a minor, unimportant issue."
Yukino's face turned bright red as she retorted, "A woman's worth has never been in her breast size, but in her ideology, pursuit of spirit, contribution to society—judging by boobs alone… is the shallowest thing of all."
What followed was a string of incomprehensible arguments.
Like "flat doesn't mean non-existent," or "still can make powdered milk," and so on.
Causing everyone around to burst into laughter, the mood at Celestian Curtain filled with joy.
...
At Happiness Manor, a man named Raku Sou faintly smiled as he sipped a refreshing cup of tea.
Naturally, he had seen all the discussions going around—but so what if she's flat?
As the saying goes: If your chest isn't flat, how can you balance the world?
That too was part of Yukino's charm.
He wasn't some shallow man who only judged by big boobs.
Small ones are also very cute.
...
Scene shifts back to Celestial Curtain.
The background music suddenly shifted, and the sound resounded with might.
Just like the prelude of "Time to Final Boss."
Many people held their breath in tension.
The dragon-versus-tiger clash of the final chapter…
Was about to begin!
...
[Looking at the tall figure seated on the Heavenly Throne, Raku Sou smiled helplessly, as if he couldn't do anything about his mischievous little sister.]
[Then, in his palm, a weapon in the form of a sword appeared, and his body slowly lowered.]
[The next moment…]
[A violent explosion!]
[Like a brilliant flash of light, he charged straight into the staircase.]
[Almost instantly.]
[The Heroic Spirit guarding the first step—collapsed!]
...
People of the world: ?!
Watching that young master in white break through the Heroic Spirits like splitting bamboo—
The entire world went dead silent!
Moments later, under the stunned gazes of countless people who hadn't yet recovered—
That blood-boiling battle scene instantly disappeared.
The frame cut to a different battlefield, burning with strange black flames.
...
[Five minutes ago.]
[At the foot of that magnificent black tower.]
[On land ravaged as if by some prehistoric beast, a blood-drenched young girl still stood firm.]
[Yukinoshita Yukino panted violently, her flat chest heaving intensely, but her gaze remained resolute, hands trembling as they gripped the hilt of a shattered sword.]
["Drip… drip…"]
[Fresh blood trickled slowly from her forehead, dyeing her vision red.]
[At this moment, the girl's beautifully sculpted body had long since turned into a figure of blood, with shards of sharp blades piercing through flesh, growing freely from her shoulders, back, even her cheeks—the pain tearing her skin caused her to furrow her brows tightly.]
[A torrent of magical energy surged violently, destroying the magic circuits; even though she was approaching the state of a Heroic Spirit, this body had already reached its limit.]
[Fortunately…]
[The girl let out a sigh of relief, casting a glance toward the edge of the meteor crater.]
[The one known in Greek mythology as the "Son of Zeus" — the great hero Heracles — had finally been cornered by the Noble Phantasm she had personally Projected, and finished off by [Nine Lives: Shooting the Hundred Heads].]
[That burly figure was slowly sinking into the black mud.]
[His rugged face gradually relaxed, carrying liberation and gratitude, etched into her vision.]
[So this… is the weight of a legendary hero?]
[Even with just one life remaining, even with peak martial skill lost to madness, even with ego resisting to the end, Heracles had brought her to the brink of death, as depleted as a flickering oil lamp.]
[Immediately after, she lifted her foot—without stopping even for a moment—intending to run straight toward the Black Tower.]
[Suddenly, a mocking voice rang out.]
["Not a bad performance, Fake."]
["?!"]
[Yukinoshita Yukino's pupils shrank, instantly on alert.]
[She looked up, her cold eyes searching for the source of the voice.]
[With light footsteps, a casually dressed Gilgamesh, hands in pockets, stepped out.]
[At the same time, rippling golden waves began to open behind him. Under the power of Bab-ilu (Key) linked to the City of Gold, the supreme Noble Phantasm—Gate of Babylon—unleashed its radiant glow.]
["King of Heroes?!"]
[Seeing that arrogant figure approaching, Yukinoshita Yukino stiffened slightly.]
[This guy… wasn't he supposed to be lying in ambush for her inside the tower?!]
[Why is he here?!]
[Could it be...]
["Shhh~."]
[The air subtly trembled as thousands of Noble Phantasms gradually emerged from the golden ripples.]
[Gilgamesh grinned with malicious delight, the golden chains around his neck gleaming under the moonlight.]
["Have you prepared yourself to kneel before the glory of your king?"]
["Mongrel~!"]
[With that scornful cry—]
["Gate of Babylon!"]
[In the very next instant, golden light flooded the sky like a waterfall breaking through the clouds, as countless Noble Phantasms poured down like torrential rain!]
