I clicked "yes" but was denied entry to Infinite.

At the same time, she also offered advice and strategies for Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's ambitions, serving as a strategist and advisor.

"Hmm? Is that so?" Amakusa replied, "I think I'm still the same as before."

"No, no, no, the original you was indifferent to everything except your ambition, even though you always had a smile on your face."

Semiramis said with a smile.

"Is this so?"

"Yes, it seems that this man with Ruler really does have something worth paying attention to."

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada said noncommittally, "Do you know why I said those things?"

"Oh?" Semiramis looked curious.

"This time, the Holy Grail's revelation to me did not appear in Ruler, nor in any other Servant Master, but first and foremost guided me to this man."

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's smile remained unchanged as he said, "I don't understand the reason why the Holy Grail is guiding him, but I always feel..."

"The Holy Grail seems to have a rather special attitude towards him."

"So much so that... it's like a taboo, or rather... a fear?"

Semiramis frowned deeply: "Shiro, aren't you overthinking this? You're an ambitious person who dares to achieve your ambitions, but don't you think what you're saying is a bit too crazy?"

"Is it crazy?"

“That’s true,” Amakusa Tokisada Shiro continued, “Semiramis, don’t forget that what we’re doing is itself a kind of madness.”

What ordinary people call madness is just something they dare not imagine.

"Ultimately, if you just look at it from a different perspective, what in this world isn't crazy?"

"For example, from a mouse's perspective, how could humans, two-legged creatures, be so crazy about keeping cats, such terrible natural enemies, as pets?"

The Assyrian queen Semiramis joked, "Perhaps in the eyes of mice, humans are more terrifying than cats?"

“That depends on what kind of rat it is. Different rats have different stances,” Amakusa Shiro Tokisada replied.

"Silang, it's rare to see you arguing with me," Semiramis teased.

Shaking his head, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada did not waste any more time on this topic.

"How is Spartacus's induction going?" he asked.

"They're already doing it, and it looks like the Berserkers are starting to turn back from their route to the Black faction's base."

"Alright, now tell them the coordinates of Ruler's location and have them instruct Berserker to snipe him there."

"Amakusa, are you really going to let Berserker go to his death like this?"

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's smile remained unchanged: "Semiramis, Berserker isn't going to his death, but rather it's just an opportunity."

"An opportunity?"

Semiramis was a little confused.

"Yes, perhaps... with this opportunity, this Holy Grail War will be different from the past."

"Oh? Isn't this a 7v7 match that's different from the usual?" Semiramis asked.

"It's different. Even if the form this time is different from the usual, the essence and method of war remain unchanged."

"Semiramis, I have a strange feeling about this Holy Grail War."

"Are you really that worried about that man?"

"Semiramis, I know what you're trying to say, but let's greet our guests first."

Just after Shiro finished speaking, the church doors were pushed open, and a man dressed entirely in black with several scars on his face walked in.

Lion's Roar Separation.

This is Saber's Master, a student of the Clock Tower, and also a necromancer.

"This is the place we agreed to meet."

"So you're the one who summoned me?" Lion's Robbery asked.

"Nice to meet you. I am Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who will be the supervisor for this event."

"I am Shiki Jie Li, so I'll skip the self-introduction."

"Well, I know."

"I am Assassin, my real name is Semiramis. And who are you from?"

Suddenly, a warrior dressed in silver-white armor appeared beside the Lion's Den.

"Red Saber, her real name is Mordred. Speak quickly if you have something to say. I heard from your message that there are special circumstances in this Holy Grail War?"

"Hey, you bastard, are you chickening out?" Mordred snapped.

"Well, let me explain first."

……

"So, besides Ruler, there are 14 other Heroic Spirits besides Servants?" Shishikage Kairi said, frowning.

"You've taken this joke a bit too far."

"This is beyond what we know, and from what you're saying, the other Servants seem to be independent individuals who have broken free from their Masters?"

"That's it."

"Even so, do you still want to act alone?"

"Ah, anyway, I believe in Saber's abilities."

"I see, you're not good at it."

Similar to the original work, Shishikage Kairi bid farewell to Amakusa and lived independently outside.

Aren't you going to tell him about that man?

“If we tell them, it might backfire,” Amakusa Shiro Tokisada said with a smile.

"That's true."

……

"You wretched woman!"

Jack the Ripper glared at Joan of Arc with gritted teeth, looking disheveled and ready to attack. Just as Joan was preparing to retaliate, Jack escaped through the window Joan had broken through.

"Don't even think about running away!"

After realizing what was happening, Joan of Arc quickly gave chase.

"Ok?"

However, when she jumped down, she was stunned. She found Jack the Ripper looking at Li Wei with great tension and a hint of fear.

"You...you're here too...how could this be..."

Jack felt an inexplicable fear of Li Wei, not only because her Noble Phantasm was completely countered by him, but also because... she now felt an indescribable sense of oppression emanating from him.

This sense of oppression stems from the sins she has accumulated.

The legend of Jack the Ripper is basically based on bloodshed and horror. She could feel the sin emanating from Li Wei more directly than others at this moment.

Of course, this is also because Li Wei is circulating his power; otherwise, if the evil were hidden deep within, Jack would not be able to perceive it in this way.

However, Jack's senses are now being subjected to a powerful shock.

"I'll...I'll die!"

"I want to go back to my mother!"

"No, that might implicate Mom!"

PSA: ...I seem to be overusing my brain lately; my head feels a bit swollen, and my right temple throbs every now and then.

Chapter 285 Devouring the Moon and Sun, Burying Reincarnation

"Jack the Ripper, the manifestation of the resentment of tens of thousands of babies in London in 1888?"

"This doesn't match the Jack the Ripper I know from another part of history."

Li Wei said calmly, "Do you want to free yourself, or do I have to perform the ritual to help you pass on to the afterlife?"

"No, I don't want to leave my mother!" Jack the Ripper said, biting his lip in despair.

For some reason, when Joan of Arc met Li Wei's eyes, her body trembled involuntarily.

In fact, ever since Li Wei's second stage of the Seven Deadly Sins was released, she had a vague feeling that she had never had before from Li Wei. Now, as Li Wei maintained the power of the Seven Deadly Sins, this feeling became even stronger.

Mingming subconsciously felt that the power Li Wei used was evil, and the seven deadly sins he mentioned further proved it.

What are the seven deadly sins?

That's the concept of original sin in Catholic doctrine, which has gradually transcended the religious realm and been accepted by more and more ordinary people over time.

People today know about the Seven Deadly Sins, but few know that they originated from Catholic doctrine. Now, the Seven Deadly Sins are widely known as the root of human evil.

Many religious believers believe in cleansing themselves of their sins, becoming Buddhas, or going to heaven, etc. In short, many doctrines regard sin as uncleanliness.

Joan of Arc was also a believer, and instinctively she felt that Li Wei's power should be destroyed. However, she also sensed the sublimity contained within this power!

This contradictory thought puzzled her greatly. When would she have the power to combine the two contradictory attributes of evil and nobility?

This is a fundamental contradiction, not something like the chaos we usually talk about; its essence is inclusiveness, nothingness, and so on.

Incomprehensible.

Can't explain.

It's hard to accept...

Moreover, Li Wei suddenly revealed Jack's real name and background, which shocked Ruler. She was also very surprised by Jack's attitude towards Li Wei. This was a fear and apprehension that Jack had never shown her before, the instinctive reaction of a small animal facing its natural enemy.

He himself was also very strange. His personality, tone of voice, and behavior were quite different from his original self, as if he were a completely different person, making Joan of Arc feel somewhat unfamiliar with him.

Li Wei... who exactly are you?

……

"Whether you leave or not is not up to you." Li Wei said expressionlessly, "I say, the sky will be without light, and there will be no sunrise; the earth will be without life, and all things will wither away."

"What's more, you're just a lowly heroic spirit, an embodiment of resentment?"

"You!" Jack was speechless for a moment. She hesitated and struggled with what choice to make.

But she couldn't think of a suitable way out, like running away?

Her intuition told her that this was not a good choice, and might be worse than fighting.

"Mom, what should I do?"

Jack, who kills without blinking an eye, is now surprisingly vulnerable.

In the past, she would have simply died; she was the embodiment of resentment. But after forming a contract with Liu Daolingxia, she developed attachments and became reluctant to leave.

From the scenes in the original work where Jack acts coquettishly towards Lingxia, you can see that Jack is just an ordinary little girl in front of her.

"Don't you want to choose?"

Li Wei said indifferently, "Then you should become a Buddha."

As soon as Li Wei said those words, Jack felt as if she had been soaked in ice water. The intense fear made her turn around and run away.

"In my presence, all disobedience is meaningless."

Li Wei waved his right hand towards the spot where Jack had fled, shouting, "Seven Sins Beast Transformation - Gluttony, Plunder!"

One after another, dark, shadowy things emerged from Li Wei's body, silently and rapidly rushing towards Jack. Only after careful observation could Jeanne barely make out that they were monsters that looked like wolves, but whose bodies were covered with strange eyes and mouths that revealed ferocious fangs.

Moreover, after these monsters rushed out, a dark shadow remained connected to Li Wei's body.

These monsters were incredibly fast, and soon Jack's screams could be heard from not far away.

Soon, Jack was dragged back by several black wolves that had transformed from gluttony, biting his body.
