Chapter 89 - Chen Gong, the true villain of Chaldea!

At this very moment, watching this scene unfold, none of the audience members were surprised in the slightest.

After all, judging from what was shown on the screen previously, Gudako's actions had indeed incurred the wrath of both man and god.

It was only normal for a scene like this to occur!

〜In the Worldline of Fifth Holy Grail War〜

The King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, watched everything on the screen, and an expression of extreme surprise couldn't help but appeared on his face.

"This truly surprises this King. I did not expect that mongrel to be able to gather so many Heroic Spirits."

He could be certain that the mongrel on the screen possessed no skills like Charisma.

Yet, under such circumstances, she was able to gather so many people.

It could only be said that the things that Gudako did had truly sparked universal indignation.

"It seems that the group of Heroic Spirits has wanted to protest for a long time; it's just that there was no leader before…"

As Gilgamesh spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing an expression of immense amusement.

"Hmph, then let this King see, Gudako… just what kind of choice will you make? This is truly bringing me incomparable pleasure."

〜In the Worldline of Fate/Apocrypha〜

Sieg watched the scene on the screen.

A dumbfounded expression appeared on his face as well.

"I really didn't expect that she could incite so many people to march in protest… just how excessive were the things that Gudako did before?"

"This is obviously a grudge that has been accumulating for a long time, okay? To be honest, I now seriously doubt if it's really okay to entrust the future of Human Order to this group of people?"

Astolfo couldn't help but speak up as well.

And at this moment, within the entire chat group interface, countless viewers couldn't help but discuss everything happening on the screen.

〜Viewer's Chat Room〜

[ Tohsaka Rin: This is really something else. I didn't expect Chaldea to have summoned so many Heroic Spirits and to maintain such a cruel system. That Gudako is truly ruthless! ]

[ Jeanne d'Arc (Ruler): However, it does surprise me a little. I didn't expect Blackbeard to be the first one to raise the flag of rebellion. Should I say, as expected of a pirate? ]

[ Spartacus: Oh, oh, oh—launch a rebellion against the oppressors! ]

[ Mordred (Saber): Honestly, although I didn't like that Blackbeard much before, I really didn't expect him to be the first person to protest. ]

[ .....]

" In Between "

In the 6th singularity, Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot—

Mordred watched the images on the screen.

A look of excitement immediately appeared on her face.

"Really now, I didn't expect that Blackbeard to be capable of doing such a thing. This is a bit beyond my expectations."

As early as when she saw Gudako's behavior on the screen, a doubt had arisen in Mordred's mind.

For a group of Heroic Spirits in Chaldea not to stage a rebellion under those circumstances—that was simply too incredible!

But fortunately, Blackbeard was actually able to guide the Heroic Spirits to protest. This could be said to have fiercely changed her impression of that pirate.

[ Edward Teach: If you don't arrange a Charisma skill for me after this, it would be a bit too much. ]

[ .....]

At this moment, the Heroic Spirits and Mages of all worlds were discussing spiritedly.

At the same time, their gazes were fixed dead on the Heroic Spirits appearing on the screen.

『 Occasionally, slogans from some of the people could be heard on the screen.

"DON'T USE OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES TO FIRE STELLA!!!"

The one who shouted this sentence was, without a doubt, the Great Hero of Persia—Arash.

Although he would indeed use his trump card when necessary.

And he would not mind using his own life to release his Noble Phantasm in the process of saving the Human Order.

But…

If he were treated as fireworks every single time, even a Heroic Spirit would feel tired. 』

『 .....』

『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』

And at this moment, all the Heroic Spirits were incomparably curious.

What kind of result would this protest march usher in?

.....

〜In the Worldline of Fifth Holy Grail War〜

Tohsaka Rin watched everything on the screen with immense curiosity.

"I wonder if this group of Heroic Spirits gathering together can make that Evils of Humanity change her ways?"

At this moment, she was extremely curious whether the combined power of all these gathered Heroic Spirits could truly defeat the Evils of Humanity.

"I feel the hope is a bit slim. After all, that is the Evils of Humanity, Gudako…"

Red A was obviously not too optimistic about this matter.

After all, judging from that Gudako's actions seen on this screen…

She could be described as the scum of scum…

"However… it really makes one a bit curious about the upcoming developments."

In this instant, all the viewers focused their attention on the giant screen.

Everyone looked forward to the developments that would follow with immense anticipation.

『 At this moment, Blackbeard was standing at a high point in the Chaldea command center, looking down at the crowd of indignant Heroic Spirits.

"Although our star rarity is low, we also possess the persistence and glory of being heroes! WE MUST TAKE BACK THE FUTURE THAT BELONGS TO US WITH OUR OWN HANDS!!!"

Such a soaring voice naturally resonated with the Heroic Spirits below.

Immediately, looks of excitement appeared on everyone's faces!

Undoubtedly, these Heroic Spirits fully agreed with what Blackbeard said.

At a high point in a certain location, watching the protesting crowd below, Mash was already shivering.

She was completely numb; she absolutely did not expect such a thing to happen.

Although she had spoken to her Senpai about this issue long ago.

But obviously, it had no effect whatsoever.

On the other side, Gudako looked at the protesting Heroic Spirits below, her face as calm as ever.

She did not leak any emotion, as if there were no waves in her heart at all.

To this Evil of Humanity, the Heroic Spirits' protest had absolutely no meaning.

And right at this time, the Heroic Spirits' slogans echoed out again.

The Great Hero Arash raised his right hand high and shouted.

"DON'T ALWAYS FIRE STELLA RIGHT AT THE START OF THE BATTLE!!!"

Accompanying these falling words, Paracelsus in the crowd also let out a cry from his own soul.

"I DON'T WANT TO APPEAR IN FRONT OF THAT MAN ANYMORE!!!"

"So-called living sacrifices? THAT'S EVEN MORE EXCESSIVE THAN BEHEADING!!!"

Hearing such dialogue, the Heroic Spirits inside the screen seemed to recall something, and looks of terror immediately appeared on their faces.

It was as if they had experienced something horrific in the past.

Seeing such a scene, a trace of curiosity couldn't help but emerge in the hearts of all the viewers.

'That man' aroused everyone's curiosity. 』

『 .....』

『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』

In this moment, the Heroic Spirits and Mages of all worlds were somewhat puzzled as to what kind of existence could make all the Heroic Spirits show such expressions.

No one expected that the man Paracelsus spoke of…

It was an existence that could be described as extremely terrifying.

" Chen Gong!

Although he was merely a two-star Heroic Spirit, the ability he possessed was enough to make all Heroic Spirits tremble in fear.

And make the Masters feel delighted…

The reason was also very simple.

Because Chen Gong's strength could be said to be extremely powerful.

It could even be said to surpass the powerful effects of most five-star Servants.

High damage Noble Phantasm, and it comes with a built-in order change effect.

He could be called the "Trump Card" of a massive number of Masters.

However, beneath this powerful Noble Phantasm, there was naturally an extremely powerful effect.

Self-destruction… It's just that, unlike the Great Hero…

His self-destruction is limited to his own teammates.

In other words, sacrifices his own teammates to allow himself to gain super-strong abilities.

This is the reason why all the Heroic Spirits tremble involuntarily when this man is mentioned… "

However, it was obvious that the viewers were not yet clear about this.

At this moment in the chat group, watching the reactions of everyone on the screen, a puzzled expression couldn't help but emerge in the minds of all the viewers.

〜Viewer's Chat Room〜

[ Emiya Shirou: To be able to make all the Heroic Spirits show such expressions, just what is the true identity of that man… ]

[ Merlin: To be able to make all Heroic Spirits show such fearful expressions… combined with lines about living sacrifices, masaka, that mysterious Heroic Spirit's Noble Phantasm is a powerful one that sacrifices others to activate? ]

[ Olga Marie Animusphere: Sacrificing others? ]

[ Chen Gong (Caster): Precisely. Your guesses are not wrong. My Noble Phantasm involves turning one's companions into arrows and shooting them at the enemy to cause massive damage! The destructive power caused by this is extremely terrifying. And precisely because of this, every cannon shell represents the disappearance of a Heroic Spirit. However, having said that, you should all be able to understand, right? These are all necessary sacrifices. ]

Hearing Chen Gong's own explanation, all the Heroic Spirits present went numb.

They completely did not expect Chen Gong's Noble Phantasm to be this powerful!

[ .....]

〜In the Worldline of ██████ Chaldea〜

After Fujimaru Ritsuka heard these words, his eyes immediately went wide.

"No way? There's actually a Heroic Spirit with this kind of effect…"

As an existence who was also a Master, after hearing about Chen Gong's function, he immediately realized it.

Chen Gong's uniqueness and strategic value!

He also finally understood why all the Heroic Spirits present were terrified of this man.

As a Heroic Spirit with extremely low rarity, his Noble Phantasm scaling is very distinct.

It could be said that he inherently possesses very powerful Noble Phantasm damage.

Of course, these are just the bonuses.

What is more terrifying is that, besides decent damage, this Heroic Spirit possesses a characteristic that other Heroic Spirits do not have.

Sacrifice!

And it is completely different from the Great Hero's one-time disposable sacrifice.

He sacrifices his own teammates to obtain extremely powerful ammunition.

After draining the surrounding teammates of their usefulness, use Chen Gong's Noble Phantasm to sacrifice the teammates on the field, and swap in new teammates…

"Hiss!! This is simply a Heroic Spirit for capitalist joy!"

Uncontrollably, even Fujimaru Ritsuka sucked in a breath of cold air.

A Heroic Spirit like this that can automatically change members is definitely one of the few.

No wonder he could receive the favor of that Gudako.

I'm afraid even I would occasionally take him to work overtime…

After all, he really is quite useful!

He can be said to be a Servant who makes Masters rejoice, and Heroic Spirits terrified.

〜In the Worldline of Fourth Holy Grail War〜

Waver was completely frozen in place.

"How can such a Heroic Spirit exist?"

He couldn't help but let out a voice of disbelief.

A self-destructing Noble Phantasm like the Great Hero's is one thing, but to actually have a Noble Phantasm that sacrifices one's own teammates…

On the other side, Iskandar also felt a trace of shock.

"Although that Heroic Spirit's ability is indeed shocking enough, this method of warfare can probably only be realized in Chaldea."

Iskandar saw the drawback of Chen Gong at a glance.

Although Heroic Spirit's Noble Phantasm is indeed powerful.

But this method can probably only be used by Chaldea.

Summoning such a Heroic Spirit in a normal Holy Grail War, there probably wouldn't be many rounds of ammunition available for him to use. You can't just shoot the Master out as ammo, right?

However, that Chaldea really is black-hearted enough.

To actually treat the Heroic Spirits of Chaldea as sacrificial offerings…

And at this moment, quite a few Heroic Spirits began to verbally attack Chen Gong in the group.

〜Viewer's Chat Room〜

[ Tohsaka Rin: Wait a minute, that means every time you activate your Noble Phantasm, it's the sacrifice of a Heroic Spirit, right… This is a bit too unconscionable. ]

[ Irisviel Von Einzbern: I can finally understand why other Heroic Spirits don't want to be on a team with you. You are simply a demon! ]

[ Illyasviel Von Einzbern: Indeed, such behavior is a bit too excessive… ]

[ Aozaki Aoko: It looks like the majority of Heroic Spirits in that Chaldea have suffered this kind of treatment… That Chaldea is truly sinful. ]

[ Chen Gong (Caster): This old man is no demon. All of this is the necessary sacrifice required to save the Human Order. The sacrifices they pay are not meaningless. ]

[ Chaotic Evil Gudako: Mn, I always remember their sacrifices! ]

[ Everyone: YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY THAT!!! ]

[ .....]

At this moment, accompanying the discussions of all the viewers, the content on the screen continued to play.

『 After such a thing happened, Mash could no longer stand by and watch.

"Senpai, what should we do?"

However, facing such a scene, the expression on Gudako's face remained as calm as ever.

After hearing these words, that calm face actually changed into a mask of worry and sorrow.

"I am not qualified to be a Master. I actually forgot to care for the hearts of the Heroic Spirits. So… from now on, only one Stella per day, how about that?"

Although the tone was painful and sorrowful, the words spoken were completely unlike anything a human would say! 』

『 .....』

『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』

Hearing such words, all the viewers couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

As expected of the Evils of Humanity, faced with such a situation, she could actually still say such words.
