"Tethered to...gods?"
Matthew looked complicated and repeated Hercules' words.
"...Indeed, Mr. Hercules does have stronger power now, and he has more opportunities to correct the singularity."
There is no doubt about the power of Hercules.
Just Hercules, who has gone through twelve trials, is already someone Chaldea must win over, and now Hercules, who has collected many Noble Phantasms and has become a complete god, is even more important. Power enough to turn the tide of the singularity battle.
If even such Hercules was not sure of defeating the primitive gods of nature, it would be difficult to survive solely relying on their Chaldean power.
"Can it be considered that Hercules has extended an olive branch to us now?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka also thought about it excitedly.
"The original purpose of Chaldea was to make Hercules a fighting force, right? Now it can be achieved. As for who will lead it, it is not a problem at all, right?"
"It just needs to be a win in the end."
Even Arturia nodded and expressed her opinion.
"………………"
Animusfia watched all this in silence.
The three people he could trust and who could be called his subordinates decided to ignore him almost instantly and turned to Hercules' side.
Although he had cheated when he got the position of director, and Animusfia had never placed himself in a position of superiority to others, it was impossible not to feel disappointed when encountering such a situation.
However, Animusfia still did not want to believe that she had been betrayed by the three people from Chaldea.
Otherwise, Heracles's bow and arrows would not need to be aimed at him until now.
Animusfia could clearly feel that as long as he opened his mouth and tongue a little, Hercules' arrows would mercilessly penetrate him.
However, everyone present seemed unaware of this problem.
I'm afraid the battle has already begun.
I just didn't expect that even the magic power of the Knight King could not resist Hercules' words.
Hercules' words at the moment cannot be considered as persuading people to surrender, but rather some kind of attack on the spiritual level, almost like a noble phantom.
Just as Animusfia had foreseen, Hercules' previous inquiry was already the last chance he had given.
As for why Hercules didn't directly use more overwhelming force to attack them now, Animusfia could only understand that Heracles wanted to retain his combat effectiveness to a greater extent.
Although Heracles, who openly betrayed human nature, was given the opportunity to survive in front of the primitive gods, apart from seizing the Noble Phantasm, he was under surveillance and could not persuade many heroic spirits to surrender for such reasons.
And by killing Hydra, Radon and the Caucasus Condor, Hercules was able to create such an environment after reaching certain conditions————————
Animusfia raised her head and observed the surrounding light that was as bright as the sun. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they had now entered the interior of the sun.
No matter how many Noble Phantasms Hercules went to seize, they would never be as useful as the Noble Phantasms holder himself.
From this point of view, Hercules did go with the purpose of defeating the gods of nature.
However, if we are so closely tied to the gods, even if we defeat those primitive gods, will human reason be restored?
Whether it is Gilgamesh who is determined to separate from the gods or Solomon who returns the Ten Commandments, as early as the beginning of human history, humans have gradually embarked on the path of breaking with the gods they are closely tied to.
This crisis of human incineration may indeed be caused by the loss of contact between humans and gods.
But as far as human principles are concerned, once "God" is once again regarded as the center and we rely on "God" to survive this crisis, I am afraid it can no longer be regarded as "human principles".
Even if ice can turn into water and pass the test, it will only prove the weakness of "ice" itself.
It just proves that ice itself cannot survive the test.
On the contrary, this fundamentally denies the rationality of the existence of human reason.
Animusfia, who understood this well, would never be able to focus on Heracles, who had become a complete god.
Not to mention, even if Hercules here still retains his human form, Animusfia will not just obey his orders.
Regardless of whether humanity can be saved, Animusfia will not accept this proposal from her own perspective.
For Chaldea and Humanity, it would be an excellent idea if they could unite around Hercules who had returned to human form.
But for Animusfia alone, this was an unacceptable option.
Just kidding, how could he give up the opportunity he gained by risking everything in human beings and the trust he gained only by losing his arm because someone would do better than him?
To put it bluntly, Animusfia will only reflect on herself in her heart or verbally, and regret the decision she made in the first place.
However, in her deeper thoughts, Animusfia did not hope that anyone could replace her current self.
He is such a selfish person.
"Director... As expected, he is still————————"
The orange-haired girl hesitantly turned to Animusfia and said.
So please don't do that.
Don't torture this selfishness with another selfishness of his.
Animusfia looked at Ritsuka with almost pleading eyes.
This was indeed Heracles's method. It was impossible for Animusfia to hold Ritsuka accountable for saying something in this scene.
But if Ritsuka's inner defense is so easily broken, it can be seen to a considerable extent that the bond between them ends here.
If that girl needs to sacrifice Animusfia's life to save her own, then Animusfia will do it herself without Ritsuka having to say anything.
But if Ritsuka shows no hesitation, it is certain that Animusfia will be injured.
Now the words coming out of Ritsuka's mouth have nothing to do with the issue of whether the Singularity can be repaired. Even if Hercules can really save humanity, Animusfia still hopes that Ritsuka can stand beside him. aside.
Invisible chains extended from Hercules' mouth and gradually wrapped around Ritsuka's body, slowly extending upward like vines clinging to trees.
People affected by Hercules may not see the chains connecting the ends of Hercules' tongue.
But Animusfia saw it clearly.
Ogmeos......
"Director, as expected..."
While listening to Ritsuka's words, Animusfia looked at the girl's complicated expression and slowly closed her eyes.
"Are you kidding!!!"
However, before Ritsuka could finish speaking, an unexpected voice of opposition sounded behind Animusfia.
"Eh?"
Matthew and the others, who had almost had their minds taken away by Hercules, couldn't help but look behind Animusfia under this objection.
Apollo, who had always had an innocent smile on his face, glared at Heracles uncharacteristically.
"Tie tightly to the gods? Is the salvation that comes then really human principles?"
"Really.........that's indeed the case, then, farewell forever."
Hercules sighed, then let go of the arrow in his hand.
Different from the arrows that were just rays of light before, the power revealed from that giant bow this time can truly tear the earth apart.
