"Hercules is the enemy...?"
Matthew repeated the shocking facts from Jason's mouth with a surprised look on his face.
Animusfia also thought about the current situation with a serious look on her face.
When she learned that Jason was indeed a heroic spirit summoned by restraint, the relief that Animusfia felt was not only due to the combat power brought by the addition of Jason.
This is especially because Jason, as a servant, will basically never appear riding alone.
To be honest, Jason's combat prowess is indeed difficult to compare with the top combat prowess in Greek mythology like Hercules or Achilles.
As a wise general, he is far weaker than a hero like Odysseus.
But Jason's appearance often indicates that he will be followed by many Argonauts.
However, now that the Argonauts have been wiped out, Jason alone cannot be considered a big help.
Rather, even if he exists as a commander, it conflicts with his role as a director.
Not to mention the existence of Master Fujimaru Ritsuka behind Animusfia.
And the defection of Hercules, the Hercules who had gone through twelve trials, made the difficulty of this singularity strategy reach a surprising height from the beginning.
Hercules.......
The appearance of Hercules in Greek mythology is almost comparable to the deus ex machina that was performed in later dramas and operas.
No matter how powerful the enemy appears, no matter how difficult the crisis is, as long as Heracles appears, he will definitely be able to defeat the opponent.
It's like a platinum star.
Or maybe the cartoonist had more or less elements of this Hercules in his mind when he created Platinum Star.
Fighting against such an enemy, although the gap in combat power may not be as desperate as when facing Krasin or Sefalu, it is definitely not a simple problem.
This time the repair work of the third singularity must be full of hardships.
——————Or, as Jason said, the battle to repair the singularity had ended before they arrived from Chaldea.
"Why would Heracles, one of the Argonauts, become your enemy?"
Animusfia asked Jason the question he was most concerned about so far.
Heracles should be the heroic spirit who appeared together with Jason.
If that's the case, then there must be someone else besides Hercules as the enemy of this singularity, and the upright Hercules can help it accomplish its goals.
The difficulty of conquering the singularity point also skyrockets.
"Why did Hercules switch sides?... What a good question, I want to know too. We were obviously summoned together, and then sailed and fought together on the ocean———— ——————However, that guy switched sides and massacred us the moment he saw the real enemy.”
"The real enemy? Have you seen the culprit that caused the singularity here?"
"Yeah, of course."
Jason looked at Animusfia, and then continued:
"It would be nice if it were just Heracles. The real enemy of this war is the gods."
Jason said while pointing to the sky.
This is why he said that the strategy for the singularity has failed.
Not only because of the change in the singularity, the destruction of mankind has been achieved, but also because the existence that has dominated this battle from the beginning is the god himself.
And humans simply cannot defeat gods.
Jason, who had been manipulated by the gods his entire life, knew this.
"God? Which god is it?"
"have no idea."
Jason shook his head honestly, and then added:
"After dozens of battles, large and small, we finally arrived at the temple where the Holy Grail is located, but there were quite a few enemies surrounding us, including Theseus and the two twins - Dioscuri. We They all pinned their hopes on Hercules.
So everyone worked hard to support him outside the temple. In the end, only Hercules entered the temple to face the gods. However, after he came out, he seemed to be a different person... He defeated Atalanta and Theseus without saying a word, and in the end I was the only one left. "
"Hercules, did you appear as a Berserker?"
"Are you trying to say that Heracles could be manipulated by his enemies and lose his mind?"
Animusfia nodded silently.
"Unfortunately, Hercules appeared as Archer this time, and his defection was definitely due to his own volition."
Jason said with a bitter expression.
"Perhaps he was thinking about old friendship... That guy didn't kill me, but he used his Noble Phantasm to snatch away my Argonaut. ... Maybe he had already Then you know, I am nothing without that ship.”
There is no need to even kill.
"...Where is the temple you mentioned?"
Without further mentioning the topic of Hercules, Animusfia asked a new question.
"It no longer exists."
Unexpectedly, Jason replied categorically.
"does not exist?"
Animusfia asked in confusion.
“Speaking of which, you still don’t know what’s going on in this world——————”
Jason stretched out his hand and pointed to the endless sea around him, and then stamped his feet on the hard ground beneath the sea.
"Why am I so sure that you must be visitors from other places and other times? The answer is right here."
"here?"
Matthew looked at the scene around him and still didn't react.
"Yes, this is exactly where your feet are, little girl."
Jason walked up to Ma Xiu and then said:
“This is the original Mount Elbrus, the highest peak in the Caucasus Mountains.”
"Eh! Was this originally the Caucasus Mountains??!"
After hearing Jason's explanation, Matthew looked around again in surprise.
"That's right."
“Have the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea expanded to this extent?”
"The Black Sea and the Caspian Sea? If only that were the case."
Animusfia's addition overturned Mash's conclusion.
"Mount Elbrus is the highest point in Europe...the altitude should be 5,642 meters. If even this place is submerged by the ocean..."
Jason sighed and then said:
"This is why I say that the temple has disappeared. Not only the temple, but like Atlantis, the entire Europe and Asia Minor have been submerged by the ocean... At least this is the area I know. As for other places..."
"Even the average altitude of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is only 4,000 meters... If even Mount Elbrus is submerged, there will probably be only a few isolated islands left in the world."
Animusfia said for Jason what he didn't say in full.
And the question of whether the people below are still alive is better than asking whether there are still human beings surviving on the moon.
Jason was indeed right, this singularity had been destroyed.
