"There is a small window here."
Merlin closed his eyes, and at the same time, opened his arms, beginning to mobilize his magical energy. "Inner Sea of the Planet. Watchtower. From the corner of paradise, I inform you all. Your story is filled with blessings. Only the innocent may enter."
Specks of pink flowers began to bloom at Merlin's feet, and at the same time, quickly spread to the surroundings. Like a teardrop falling, and then the teardrop turning into specks of flowers, the Tower of Avalon appeared in everyone's vision. From this point alone, Merlin was quite the "Sue," of the Mary Sue variety. But come to think of it, wasn't a Mary Sue just someone with colored hair, who creates flowers with every step, is very likely not human, has magnificent eyes, and an elven appearance? Understood. The Mary Sue image in modern novels is based on Merlin. But it couldn't be that someone saw Merlin's image, and thus the Mary Sue novels of the Type-Moon world were born.
"[Garden of Avalon]!"
Although this was only a C-rank Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm, it had a miraculous effect at this moment.
The scene of the 'Tower' that still imprisons Merlin to this day was recreated in the surroundings. The ground was covered with blooming flowers. No matter what kind of darkness or hell, it could make warm sunlight shine on the ground. Even if the space he was allowed was only a mere ten-square-meter quadrilateral cell, even if the scenery he was given was only the sky divided by the distant high-up view, that place would exist forever as a utopia.
Where the Magus of Flowers, Merlin, was, was not hell, but a land filled with hope.
The rapidly approaching black mud was isolated at the edge by this sea-of-flowers-like scene. The endless malice was constantly surging, but it could not break through this wall of flowers. "Aslan... you have to hurry. I can't hold on for too long..."
After all, he was just a split spirit who had descended in response to a summoning. The amount of magical energy this body possessed was still too different from his main body. If they were to fight a protracted war, he was afraid he would need Aslan to use a Command Spell to replenish his magical energy.
Aslan looked at the black mud that stood tall like a wall, blocking the necessary path, and prepared to activate the release of his Supreme Masterpiece.
The Supreme Masterpiece pulled back a certain distance, then opened its arms. The special cannon port located in its abdomen slowly opened. There lay the Machine God core, wreathed by the dragon's soul. Now, through the power of the core, the Supreme Masterpiece would unleash an attack comparable to the full-power strike of a god. An attack like this, in the distant Greece, would probably be called a divine punishment.
The wrath of the God of Fire would erupt from the Gate of Justice of the Supreme Masterpiece. The White Dragon that had destroyed Britain would pour its power of destruction into it, recreating the wrath of the gods thousands of years later! To destroy evil with divine punishment.
"This is the artificial god born from the wreckage of deities. Here I swear, the Supreme Masterpiece fights only for justice. Now, reawaken the heart of a god! Witness, this is the glory of a man-made god! [Supreme Masterpiece - Justice]!! [Directive—Hammer of Justice]!"
The inside of the Supreme Masterpiece's cannon port beat like a heart. If one were to look through the condensing light into the cannon port, they would see the shadow of a white dragon, firmly gripping the heart of a god. The pulse of the god's heart drove a powerful magical energy, which transformed into the cannon fire that was about to be unleashed. The white dragon, in its roar, cast its own shadow into it.
The flame and the shadow of the White Dragon swirled around each other, finally merging into one. A dragon of flame then burst out from the cannon port.
This crimson dragon shadow, mixed with flames, thrust forward, leaving a path of fire on the road. The black giant, composed of All the World's Evils, was burned to nothing the first moment it collided with the cannon fire. That seemingly indestructible city wall also began to gradually disintegrate.
As if sensing that a forced defense could not block the attack of the Supreme Masterpiece—even if it were to withstand this shot, there would be the next, and the next—it had to find a way to deal with the Supreme Masterpiece first. Therefore, a large amount of black mud, like tentacles, and also like spears, launched a thrust at the Supreme Masterpiece.
It seemed to be thinking that even if it couldn't destroy the Supreme Masterpiece, infecting it and causing it to "Reverse" was also a solution. In fact, Aslan was not very afraid of being affected by this black mud. After all, after absorbing the island's power, which was compressed to its limit with an aura of destruction and ruin, Aslan's own Reversed state would in itself change his own attribute, from good to evil.
It had to be said, having a skill that could automatically control one's own reversal and blackening was a good thing.
If you were to put Aslan in a game, if Melusine was the first card to change a Noble Phantasm to be either AoE or single-target, then Aslan would definitely be the card in the game that could change himself between good and evil, two opposing states.
As for releasing them separately to make you pay more? What a joke. There's only one of this. If you miss it, you miss it. I'm not giving you two separate cards for his normal state and his Reversed state.
The spears made of black mud could, of course, not pierce the outer shell of the Supreme Masterpiece. But they could cling to the outer shell like parasites, and at the same time, continuously input negative emotions into the interior of the Supreme Masterpiece. Aslan felt the growing impatience coming from the Supreme Masterpiece and sighed softly.
In order to give the Supreme Masterpiece a certain degree of autonomy, Aslan had turned his cheap father's dragon soul into its intelligence and soul, bestowing it upon the Supreme Masterpiece. Therefore, it wouldn't be wrong to say that the Supreme Masterpiece had a life of its own. To continue to let the black mud erode the Supreme Masterpiece would not change its nature, but more or less, Aslan still felt a bit of heartache for his own Noble Phantasm.
Since that was the case, he would let the Supreme Masterpiece fly into the sky according to its own will and provide support from above with a barrage of cannon fire, while he himself would launch a surprise attack on the main body of All the World's Evils on the ground.
Thinking of this, Aslan immediately flew up towards the sky. The black mud clinging to the body of the Supreme Masterpiece was instantly thrown off by the burst of speed. In fact, the speed pushed out by this powerful burst of magical energy allowed it to reach above the clouds in just a short moment. At this position, All the World's Evils could forget about touching it! Even if there were puppets of the King of Conquerors, driving their chariots and charging up here, with the speed of those chariots, the Supreme Masterpiece would be able to automatically lock on, and then open fire, destroying all these puppets.
"Directive: Supreme Masterpiece - Justice, act autonomously."
The dragon soul symbol on the display screen lit up. The cockpit hatch then opened. Aslan took out a portion of the island's power from the bottle and fed it to Melusine, allowing her to, for a short period of time, return to her original form from her current doll-like state.
