Chapter 1092: Chapter 750: The Battle of Conquest Chapter 1092: Chapter 750: The Battle of Conquest This was a conquest.
Both sides were once weapons used for the conquest of the world, one being weapons held by people, and the other, weapons made by people.
Although they knew they stood no chance, the problem wasn't about the odds, both sides were displaying the human will to conquer, to conquer the land, conquer the skies, conquer the world—-everything they did existed for this purpose. And now, it was the time for the old to give way to the new—-the conquerors of the past would show their might and empire to the conquerors of the future, but could the future ones show their pride and qualification?
With a roaring blast that even made the skies tremble, a massive shell fired from the Macro Cannon's barrel, and immediately, the boundless desert sea seemed to surge with huge waves as sand and soil spouted skyward, merging into one. Countless Soldiers were screaming as they flew into the sky, then disappearing into the air.
Just one strike obliterated thousands of Soldiers, the terror of such power, said to be made by humans, was simply unbelievable.
“Interesting, is this the weapon mastered by the people of the future?”
However, in the face of such daunting power that would make anyone think twice, the King of Conquerors only showed an excited expression.
“Indeed, a weapon worthy of conquering the Star Ocean. What kind of existence must an enemy be, to require such weapons to conquer? Just the thought of it is enough to make my blood boil!”
Riding his beloved steed, he dashed forward, completely ignoring the giant shell whistling over his head. The King of Conquerors laughed heartily, his laughter not borne of despair against an invincible enemy, but rather the anticipation and satisfaction of a conqueror from the past looking to the future.
“What a pity, if only I could lead such a Warship toward the Star Ocean on a conquest of all, how thrilling that would be! Whoever gave up on that expedition halfway is truly a fool. Is there anything more stirring than such an expedition?!”
“Boom————–!”
At that moment, from the rear position, a dazzling beam of light shot up into the sky, targeting the Steel Battleship above; however, before the beam could hit the Warship, it was blocked by a barrier-like layer that rose around it. Then, as if in return, multiple Light Spears were suddenly launched, striking where the beam had erupted, causing another earth-shaking bombardment.
“Hahaha, how fascinating, even the treasured weapons of the King of Knights can't inflict damage? How far have the people of the future come; I can't help but want to find out!”
Undaunted, the King of Conquerors' inner flame only grew hotter. The treasured weapons of the King of Knights, in his time, were decisive in winning wars, capable of destroying a Legion or an entire city. And yet, even in the face of such powerful treasured weapons, the steel remained unaffected. And the ones operating it were not some famous warriors or heroes, but obscure ordinary people.
Yet it was these ordinary people who had created an existence so powerful that even Heroic Spirits could not shake it!
That was worthy of being conquered!
Weak enemies are nothing to speak of, but the collective strength of the weak could reroute rivers and destroy mountains–only such power is worthy of conquest! To defeat them, conquer them, lead them!
This was the tyranny of the King of Conquerors!
Another volley from the Macro Cannons, and the battlefield was now completely covered with relentless artillery fire. Even the heroes who once rode with the King of Conquerors couldn't resist this force that could destroy stars. They held their Longswords and shields high, following the King of Conquerors' steps forward, undeterred by the explosions sweeping over them, undeterred even when blasted to pieces, without a hint of intention to shrink back.
Yet, the limit was eventually reached.
“Boom———-!!!”
A violent explosion erupted, and the shockwave burst from behind. The King of Conquerors along with his steed were flipped into the air, the warhorse gave a mournful whinny as it was torn to shreds, and the King of Conquerors, holding his Longsword high, leaped down from the sky and slashed down at Duanmu Huai!
“Clang.”
The Sharp Blade capable of cutting through metal and stone fell upon Duanmu Huai's Power Armor and was repelled. At the same time, Duanmu Huai's Chainsaw Sword thrust forward, piercing through the King of Conquerors' chest.
Then, the two stood facing each other.
“Is this the end?”
“Yes.”
“What a pity.”
The King of Conquerors revealed a hint of a smile.
“If… I could acquire this army, I would also want to try, to launch a… conquest toward the Star Ocean.”
“If you were The Emperor, you would certainly lead humanity on a grand expedition that would turn the tides of history.”
Duanmu Huai let out a faint sigh. Honestly, although he didn't know the King of Conquerors well, today's battle alone was enough for him to hold the hulking man before him in higher esteem than The Emperor.
“But sadly, history has no ifs.”
And the present in which we live is built upon a past filled with regrets.
The Innate Barrier began to tremble, gradually disappearing, and the huge warship hovering above Duanmu Huai's head did the same. The King of Conquerors slowly closed his eyes, exhaling deeply.
“I really wish… for a conquest racing through the Star Ocean…”
As he spoke these words, the body of the King of Conquerors slowly vanished into the air.
The Innate Barrier completely disappeared, and now on the bridge only SABER remained, barely sustaining herself. However, considering her disheveled state, it was clear she had also been heavily battered. Honestly, just surviving was testament to the King of Knights' strength.
After all, LANCER had already been completely obliterated by now.
But none of that mattered.
Duanmu Huai didn't even glance at SABER, who had fallen to her knees; he just strode purposefully toward Alice Phil, who was still standing in place, utterly shocked by the grand warship Duanmu Huai had summoned earlier.
“Alice Phil!”
Seeing Duanmu Huai's actions, SABER was taken aback, hurriedly forcing herself to Alice Phil's front. Honestly, SABER was quite battered too, but thankfully her regenerative abilities were strong; otherwise, she might have left the Holy Grail War hand in hand with LANCER.
“Move aside, I'm not looking for you.”
Watching SABER block the way, Duanmu Huai raised an eyebrow, then was about to act. At that moment, Alice Phil seemed to come back to her senses, placing a hand on SABER's shoulder. Then she lifted her head, bravely meeting Duanmu Huai's gaze.
“May I ask, what exactly do you want with me?”
“I'm asking you, the Holy Grail System was created by you Einzberns, right?”
“Yes.”
Alice Phil clenched her teeth and nodded, staring at him.
“Then, was it you who tampered with the inside of the Holy Grail?”
“…What?”
At Duanmu Huai's question, Alice Phil was momentarily stunned.
“The Holy Grail… has a problem?”
