Leaving aside the golden bullet, it was a magical armor-piercing bullet condensed from her personal weapon. She didn't expect it to achieve any great feats; she just wanted to buy time so she could retreat to the summoned ships.
The subsequent barrage of fire was one of her true killing moves.
These cannonballs, imbued with a great deal of her magic, are incredibly powerful. They also benefit from the advantage of fighting on home soil, and their sheer number prevents the enemy from escaping due to their astonishing speed.
The main focus is on saturation bombing and fire coverage in modern warfare.
But to her surprise, the opponent pulled out a Noble Phantasm and confiscated all her cannonballs.
How do I fight this?
"That Noble Phantasm is definitely not something that can be used casually."
Queen Victoria glanced at the interstellar warships in the sky that had not yet attacked and thought to herself.
Whether Bai Zhi didn't react in time or was overconfident, she decided to seize this opportunity, at least before Bai Zhi could retaliate.
Moreover, a defensive artifact of that level wouldn't be something that can be used casually, would it?
Perhaps, if I just output enough damage, I can break through the opponent's defense system and thus damage the main body.
As a result, even denser cannonballs poured out from the muzzles of those steam-powered warships.
In an instant, the entire sky seemed to turn black, and the mountain made of explosives collapsed towards the crowd.
"Little Bai, I'm leaving this to you. It would be a waste not to use that old man's magic weapon."
"You……"
Bai Zhi shook her head helplessly, then stretched out her hand, and the diamond bracelet that had been retracted into her wrist immediately flew out.
The moment the Vajra Bracelet grew larger, the immense suction force reappeared. The countless shells that could cover the sky seemed to be drawn in by a black hole, their shapes distorted by the suction.
Within the area of the Vajra Bracelet, it's like the accretion disk of a black hole, constantly devouring matter.
"She definitely has a limit!!"
Seeing this scene, Queen Victoria was not afraid at all, but excited. She had a lot of magic, because based on her historical deeds, she had a certain characteristic.
That is, the more she exploits the laborers, the more magical feedback and bonuses she will receive.
She has taken control of most of the people in the British Isles. They have either been driven into factories or forcibly sent to coal mines, and even young children have not been spared.
As a result, a large amount of magic power was converted out, which is why she can unleash saturation attacks.
"Fire! Fire! All warships, open fire!!"
As the waves of explosives continued to come, Queen Victoria saw Bai Zhi as a small boat adrift in a giant wave, on the verge of capsizing at any moment.
Chapter 848 Why is this ahoge (cowlick) king acting strangely?
"Hmm...it doesn't seem to have been weakened much."
Bai Zhi took the Vajra Bracelet into her hand. She had been deliberately holding back just now, wanting to test how powerful the Vajra Bracelet was after she transformed into her Servant form.
Currently, it seems that the upper limit of this thing, at least at the Servant level, is probably very difficult to encounter.
She didn't feel any strain on the bracelet when collecting the shells.
"Well, then, that's it."
Bai Zhi snapped her fingers, and the cannons of the interstellar warships in the sky immediately lit up with a ferocious red light.
"boom!"
A massive spear of light descended, piercing directly through Queen Victoria's fleet. Immediately, a tremendous amount of energy mixed with the seawater, and a mushroom cloud rose before everyone's eyes.
"Done~"
Bai Zhi clapped her hands, and a streak of blue light floated in front of her.
"what?"
Bai Zhi curiously reached out and touched the flowing light. She saw the blue light begin to condense, and then something familiar fell in front of her.
"This is... a Rider-class chess piece?"
She picked up the golden chess piece, something she often saw in the game before, and even a lazy person like her who didn't farm the infinite lottery often lacked it.
But what use is this thing in reality?
It's impossible to undergo a reincarnation of one's own spirit origin, right?
[Ding! The memory of destiny and the talisman have resonated once.]
As she was examining the golden Rider-rank chess piece, a system notification popped up, attracting Bai Zhi's attention.
"Well, then what?"
Bai Zhi waited for a while, but found that there was no follow-up.
This isn't right. She remembered that last time when her destiny and the talisman resonated, the system gave her a task that ultimately allowed her to obtain the immortal dog. Why is there only one prompt this time?
It didn't even mention which talisman it was, but it's most likely not an activated talisman.
Right now, the only unactivated talismans I have are those for the Rat, Ox, Rabbit, Snake, and Pig.
"Xiaobai, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Bai Zhi was standing still for a long time, the monkey came over and asked with some concern.
"No...it's nothing."
Bai Zhi casually put the golden Rider-class chess piece into her pocket. Although she didn't know which talisman resonated with the system's sudden notification, she was certain that triggering the resonance between her memory destiny and the talisman might be related to her eliminating a Servant.
Among the unactivated talismans, those related to memory and destiny... no, it's not over yet, what if I guessed wrong?
Opening champagne prematurely is not a good habit.
However, thinking of this, she glanced thoughtfully at the somewhat bewildered Ahoge.
If we defeat Saber, will we be able to get a Saber-class piece and trigger the resonance again?
But isn't doing this a bit too cruel?
It's such a difficult choice between talent and a beautiful girl.
Bai Zhi rolled her eyes and walked towards Artoria.
"Hello, Queen of Britain, Miss Artoria."
Looking at Bai Zhi, who gave her a friendly smile, Artoria hesitated for a moment, then extended her hand and shook hands with Bai Zhi. "Hello, you must be the immortal Bai Zhi?"
"Yes, that's right. It seems that Miss Artoria knows me quite well."
Bai Zhi tilted her head and looked at the ahoge king with some strangeness. For some reason, the other party's face seemed to be turning red at an alarming speed.
"Ms. Altria?"
Bai Zhi gently called out to the seemingly malfunctioning "Ahoge-King".
"what!"
Artoria immediately withdrew her hand, her face turning so red it was almost steaming.
When she came into contact with Bai Zhi, she felt her dragon heart beating at an inexplicable and terrifying speed, which made her whole body excited.
The angelica in front of her suddenly seemed to have a strange attraction, making her unable to resist the urge to pick her up and rub her hard.
What am I thinking?!
Once she realized what was happening, Artoria kept reminding herself that although the other person was supposed to be an immortal from the East, and who knows how old they were, they didn't look that old at all.
How could I have such strange thoughts?
However, despite her reason constantly warning her, her body couldn't help but want to get close to Bai Zhi.
Angelica dahurica: ...
No, it's not very polite for someone to put their hand on my head and touch me when we first meet.
"Oh, sorry, my hand is out of my control."
Artoria apologized repeatedly, explaining that she had only been momentarily distracted and her hand had already reached out to touch him.
But she really liked that feeling. She always felt that when she touched Bai Zhi, a special power was transmitted to her, which made her Red Dragon Heart feel inexplicably joyful.
Bai Zhi scratched her head. Why did this Artoria seem a little strange? Could it be that she wasn't Blue Saber, but some other subspecies?
She remembered that Artoria's various types could almost fill the entire support list, from support to damage dealer, she had them all.
"Miss Artoria, you must be the King of Britain?"
Bai Zhi asked tentatively.
"Yes, I am. I'm really sorry about what happened earlier."
Artoria didn't want to explain anything, she just kept apologizing, because she felt that this was something she couldn't talk about, and talking about it would only make people think she was a pervert.
Bai Zhi touched her chin, feeling that something was off, but then she thought that it wouldn't affect what she was going to do next, so she stopped worrying about it.
"Alright, then, Miss Artoria, would you be willing to sign a contract with me and become my Servant?"
Bai Zhi stated her request very directly, and she must have cared a lot about the previous system notification.
She couldn't possibly let go of the possibility of unlocking something with a talisman; after all, if she missed it, who knew when it would come again.
But letting her kill Saber King seems too cruel and wasteful.
Why not try to bring Saber under my command by signing a contract and make her my servant? Maybe that will trigger a resonance between her memories, destiny, and the talisman.
"Eh?"
Artoria looked at Bai Zhi with some surprise.
"You don't have a Master, do you?"
Bai Zhi clearly remembered that when she replaced the other Heroic Spirits and transformed into a Servant, none of the guys responsible for summoning her were Masters.
The ability to summon Servants here is mostly due to the power provided by the future human history of this world. As for ordinary people, they don't even have magic power. If they were to supply the Servants' energy, they would probably be drained dry in no time.
Chapter 849 The Saber-haired King Who Almost Died from Excessive Magic Power
"How about it? Would you be willing to sign a contract with me and become a magic... cough cough, my servant?"
Bai Zhi extended her hand and invited Artoria.
Artoria hesitated for a moment, "Can I call you Bai Zhi?"
"Of course you can. There's absolutely no need for titles like 'Immortal' or anything like that."
Bai Zhi smiled warmly.
"Can I ask why you made a contract with me? I should be the one rebelling against you; you only need to eliminate me."
Artoria asked seriously, after all, the Holy Grail War has always been like this, eliminating a Servant is always a good choice, especially a Saber-class Servant like her, who is not a low threat.
"Hmm...good question. Maybe it's because you're very pretty."
"Eh?"
Artoria's mouth dropped open. Bai Zhi's answer was completely unexpected. She had thought that Bai Zhi would say something profound, like about shared aspirations or ideals.
But the reason given was that she was very beautiful.
"No...don't joke around, I'm a soldier, this kind of reason..."
Bai Zhi tilted her head. "So what if you're a warrior? It doesn't stop you from being really beautiful. Humans are visual creatures, and they'll always be more lenient with beauty."
"But Queen Victoria was beautiful too."
Artoria subconsciously retorted that although their styles were different—she was more dashing and heroic, while Queen Victoria was a quintessential noblewoman—Queen Victoria was definitely not inferior in terms of looks, after all, fame brought a lot of visual appeal.
"The main problem is that wealthy women don't fit my XP."
Bai Zhi silently added a sentence in her heart, but said it aloud:
"I personally have no sympathy for people who enslave children, and I really appreciate that you oppose her behavior."
“I think we have something in common, at least on this point, so I invite you to become my follower.”
Artoria fell silent for a moment, recalling what the so-called resistance organizations had told her after she was summoned. They had almost described Bai Zhi as an evil god who committed all sorts of evil deeds and wished to kill a few innocent passersby every day as sacrifices.
But she didn't believe any of this. Instead, she broke away from those guys and started asking ordinary people for information.
