Chapter 538 Order in Blood
"That's so unfair! He cheats with the Holy Grail whenever he's at a slight disadvantage!" Hilmi exclaimed angrily.
Perched atop the spire, Lanlock II, along with the Holy Grail, was in a superposition of existence and non-existence.
"You shouldn't have come over." Hermione frowned as she looked at the robotic boy holding half a broken sword.
"I want to pursue the Blue Fairy," this is my command," Adam replied.
"But this is not what you wish for!" the witch scolded.
Adam had no real soul before, nor the ability to generate desires. He was merely passive, driven by the lower-level commands, approaching this place like a moth drawn to a flame.
"No, I have it. I long for the Blue Fairy, I long to become human." Adam's eyes shone as he said this, just like a first-year wizard child.
Hermione paused, remembering that this robot had absorbed the essence of brain-derived organisms and the power of the eternally locked room within the Department of Mysteries. His polymer might no longer be a simple technological product, but rather a black box of human thought infiltrated by human consciousness.
However, as humans, we should be aware of the risks involved, and this robot is clearly not good enough at that.
"You're expecting me to send you away, just like you're expecting me to refuse to use the Crucifixion on you." Hermione pointed out Adam's thoughts, the subtext being that this was an insurmountable obstacle for machines, and his first step towards becoming more human.
"Oh, I guess we don't have time for small talk," Hilmi interrupted them.
The two looked up and saw that King Lanlock II had not put down the Wish Cup, but continued to cast some kind of magic.
"The power contained in the Winter's Curse far exceeds my imagination. I can expend even more energy to destroy you!"
He laughed and raised the Holy Grail again.
"Turn things upside down! Be confused! In Rielland, in our world, you will surely fail!"
A crimson light burst forth from the Holy Grail, and the next moment, the world before everyone's eyes began to spin upside down.
Gravity seemed to have lost its effect, and ground troops began to drift uncontrollably into the air, while combat units that were already flying began to crash around aimlessly like headless flies.
Before my eyes, colorful light spots swirled and flowed, making it impossible to see anything clearly. In my ears, there was a constant, deafening roar that made my head spin and made me lose control.
The fairies, however, were unaffected; in their land, they were the masters.
Taking advantage of the chaos among the human wizards, they immediately launched a fierce counterattack.
Layers of iron armor were pierced, black ships flying in the air were hit by missiles, and patches of white light lit up in the air, which were individual wizards that were transferred and recalled.
But there were also tragic ones. The wizards who entered a second time had already used up their chances, and this time their deaths would be real deaths!
Only the most powerful wizards could remain unaffected. Even McGonagall and Moody could only barely keep themselves stable in the air, struggling to withstand the stray bullets and other threats under the influence of the chaotic mental tides.
"It's the Great Order Rune!" Hilmi shouted suddenly as she flew through the air, staring at the Holy Grail.
"What's hidden inside that cup is the other half of the Great Rune of Order!"
As Lannock II used the Holy Grail time and time again, he finally saw the true power within the Grail—the power to grant any wish!
Blood-red and intricate runes spun silently at the bottom of the cup, remarkably similar to those Lucius held when he wielded the Great Rune.
That is an order built with blood from the other half of human society!
Sometime during its existence, it was hidden within the Holy Grail of religion, stolen by fairies, and became the most important weapon for fulfilling wishes.
"The other half of order!" Hermione exclaimed in surprise.
The fairies now possess a half-grown rune. Although they cannot directly observe it, they must have another way of understanding it, which explains why they are confident in their desire to exterminate humanity.
The situation seemed to be reversed in an instant. Grindelwald and Lanlock I were locked in a fierce battle, with no clear victor in the short term. After realizing that it would be difficult to deal with Hermione and Hilmi, Lanlock II changed his approach and used the power of the Holy Grail to forcibly change the rules of the world, causing humans in the Fairy Realm to suffer multiple interferences in gravity, mind, and senses.
"Hilmi!"
The situation was urgent, and there was no time to think. Hermione had to continue to reveal her trump cards.
The boy's upper body arrived in the blink of an eye, and Hermione reached out and grasped his outstretched hand. A dazzling light shone from where their fingers touched.
The blinding golden light momentarily overwhelmed the red light on the spire. This process was brief, and when the light faded, the two figures had vanished, replaced by a massive, golden moon exuding immense pressure.
This is their first time combining and transforming, and in a sense, it is also her strongest form.
Moreover, this time, what emanates from the brilliant golden light is not only the effect of enhancing magic, but also the healing and protective power from the newly born Great Rune.
As the light spread, the entire Rielland was enveloped in a dazzling golden glow. The wizards, who had been confused and disoriented due to the mental shock and loss of their senses, gradually regained their senses with the support of powerful magic and the power of rebirth.
Those who were injured or even on the verge of death had their wounds heal rapidly under the moonlight, faster than any magic potion.
That wasn't all. Immediately afterward, half of a crystalline and intricate line rune flashed by within the golden moon; that was the other half of the Order Rune that Hermione possessed.
Under its influence, this golden moon is like a real moon, possessing the magnificent power to influence tidal forces.
As dim purple lightning danced lightly across the ground, the human wizards gradually regained their balance and slowly drifted down to the ground.
However, those who had already died, the damaged Black Ships and weapons of war could no longer be restored.
"So, Malfoy's half has indeed fallen into your hands!" Lanlock II exclaimed in shock and anger as he saw his magic being neutralized.
"We've been meticulously cultivating those nobles behind the scenes for fifty years, only to have it all ruined by that good-for-nothing Lucius!"
As he spoke, seeing that the other party had broken his magic, he raised the Holy Grail again and once more issued the command to reverse the world.
"I'd like to see how much magic you possess! Enough to rival mine, who wields the Holy Grail!"
This time, the red light shone on the ravaged land and the ruins of the city.
A rumbling sound rose from the ruins, and mechanical monsters made of stone and metal stood up under the shaping power of the Holy Grail.
They were a silent and deadly puppet army, with indestructible bodies and ranged attacks that could unleash red beams. They joined the battle as soon as they stood up, and together with the surviving fairies, they once again forced the wizards' lines back.
Hermione, now in the form of the moon, did not answer, but instead released an ever-growing power of new life from the moon.
Some tender green shoots sprouted from beneath the earth, spreading from the broken bodies of the withered wood walkers of Iphamoni.
The endless vines, like a burst of life, entangled the terrifying dark red metal golems one by one, plunging them into a lush green hell.
