"Queen, you must be careful.
It's best not to think that divine power can penetrate the end of humanity."
Alcides said coldly.
"The Evil of Humanity in this World" is almost a sure kill for any noble Heroic Spirit.
Only anti-heroes have the ability to resist.
The more radiant and dazzling the Heroic Spirit,
the deeper the influence of the black mud.
Only by directly accepting and acknowledging the existence of human karma can one control this mud that symbolizes human evil.
Like Gilgamesh.
He is a tyrant who ruthlessly imposed unreasonable judgments on many humans with his own values, once making people live in dire straits and building his dynasty on countless bones.
This tyrant undoubtedly possesses the evil of humanity.
At the same time, he is also the one who expelled fierce beasts and fought against the gods, a hero who can be worshiped by his people.
In his old age, he was even praised as a wise king.
Gilgamesh never denied his tyrannical behavior in his youth, nor did he simply talk about his reputation as a wise king.
Both are him.
Another example is Moran.
He led the Pelasgians in resisting the judgment of the gods, and the monarchy he practiced when he ruled the country was also autocratic.
He implemented his own ideas throughout the country.
As a king, he did no worse than Gilgamesh, only differing in form.
In fact, many of them were tyrannical.
But the advantage is that it is fast.
He exchanged the shortest period of suffering for his people for thousands of years of peace and prosperity.
Naturally, some people became this price.
Moran did not deny these either.
However, he is a king who makes trade-offs, always focusing on the people around him and the entire country.
If someone can do better than him and defeat him,
Moran will naturally give way.
The fact is that no one can do as well as him.
The common point between Gilgamesh and Moran is that they judge the value of their people with their own colors and ideas.
Because the humans of the Age of Gods could not determine their own value.
This is the duty of being the King of Men.
—The king bears, the king undertakes, the king acknowledges all of this.
These are by no means simple words.
They may not be dazzling heroes, but they are definitely great kings who recognize and face the karma of humanity.
Therefore, facing the evil of humanity in this era,
neither of them will be tainted.
They have long been tired of this kind of thing.
Human evil has been incorporated into their souls.
Even with this evil, they are still monarchs who can be admired and worshiped by their people.
They are even more realistic humans.
They never deny the part of themselves that is human evil, but choose to embrace it and turn it into their own.
Although that's what they say,
Moran still won't choose to touch these dirty black muds unless it's absolutely necessary.
Because that will awaken the evil of humanity.
For Moran, it's a bit like mental pollution, a kind of discomfort from the soul level.
It's like no one wants to see the scenery in a cesspool.
And kings like Hippolyta who have never done tyrannical things and have not integrated the karma of humanity into their souls,
naturally cannot avoid the influence of the black mud.
Once contaminated by the black mud,
Hippolyta, after being influenced by the black mud, will most likely only awaken another personality full of human karma.
That is another spirit base state similar to Alter.
It can basically be regarded as another Servant.
"Goo… What is this…!"
Hippolyta once again activated magical power from the military sash wrapped around her arm, intending to refine divine energy, but—
The sludge reacted to her reaction.
They spread to the surrounding streets at a faster speed, surrounding the center of the intersection.
The sludge attacked Hippolyta from all directions.
She planned to fuse the War God's Military Sash into her spirit base to break through the trap, and her brain was running rapidly, thinking about how to escape.
The current situation is very dangerous.
Just at this critical moment—
"…This is!"
Hippolyta's eyes widened.
Before she was submerged by the black mud, a jet-black flower that seemed to grow from the abyss bloomed.
It cuts space and breaks the mud.
Through the petals, one can feel the other side of the world.
"…The Reverse Side of the World!?"
Alcides' eyes flashed with surprise…
Being able to cut off the connection between the surface and the inside of the world like this, their magecraft level has far exceeded the level of modern magi.
—Could it be that there are Heroic Spirits hidden in other places?
Alcides had to consider this.
However, Hippolyta knew better than anyone through the magical power connection that it was her own master who summoned the flower bud!
The flower bud closed at a faster speed.
It devoured Hippolyta one step faster than the black mud.
As expected, the black mud lost its target and then gradually returned to Alcides' body.
"Is it a Heroic Spirit or a Master who used that thing…?"
Alcides left such a question behind.
In the end, he couldn't figure it out.
Seeing the black mist lingering between the tall buildings coming, Alcides had no choice but to evacuate.
Snowfield, the top floor of the casino hotel.
At this moment, Hippolyta, who should have been swallowed by the black mud, returned here with the black flower bud.
"Phew, it's a good thing I prepared in advance."
"…Thank you, Master, and please allow me to apologize. It seems my strength is still not enough."
"Hehe, little Hippolyta, don't blame yourself.
That guy just used unorthodox methods. If he fought you normally, he definitely wouldn't be your opponent!"
Sakura clenched her fists, full of vigor.
Being trusted so much by her own master, Hippolyta naturally felt very happy.
But the fact that she didn't bring back any results was also true.
—If it had continued like that, I wouldn't have been able to defend until the end.
If Sakura hadn't used imaginary magecraft to protect her, she would have been in a dangerous situation.
In that mud, she couldn't ensure her safety.
—Next time, I must not disappoint Master again.
Hippolyta's masters are Sakura and Rin Tohsaka. The two girls did not choose any relics during the summoning process.
I don't know if it's because of Moran.
In short, they summoned Hippolyta as a result.
