Chapter 107. America Joins the Battle, America Says: GG!
["RUMMMMMM!!"]
[As if thunder roared and exploded, rolling currents appeared within the clouds.]
[Over the vast Pacific Ocean, a figure was hurled by the roaring punch of a burly giant, flying hundreds of miles, stirring countless gales along the way, splitting both sides, cutting through billions of tons of seawater, and plunging into the deep abyss.]
[The ocean surface was dyed the color of blood, releasing a stench so overwhelming it made one dizzy.]
[Giant squid kings, great white sharks, blue-ringed octopuses... these sea creatures were merely chain products under the natural environment.]
[Even just the peripheral impact of two overpowered Servants had already caused countless deaths, rivers of blood, flesh drifting across the sea.]
[It was an ocean of blood even more shocking than a skull tower, exuding a brutal beauty!]
[At this moment, the U.S. Pacific Fleet patrolling the area was stirred.]
["Relay my order, full speed ahead!"]
["As long as we can defeat Saber, we will become heroes of all humanity!"]
[In the command room, the old general MacArthur gave a trembling order, looking at the scene before him, ignoring the aides' objections, with fear yet a clear trace of excitement.]
[As long as we capture King Arthur, my illustrious medals will gain yet another great achievement, and even in death, I will be remembered for all eternity!]
[If we can even uncover the secret of immortality, I must secure a share.]
["For humanity!"]
[Amidst the gathering of countless sailors, he raised his hand and shouted, brimming with righteous spirit, his eyes flashing with ambition.]
[If they could kill either one of them, that would be enough merit to ascend into the Throne of Heroes after death!]
...
At this moment, the Celestial Curtain exposed the crazed inner world of General MacArthur before all humanity, leaving everyone shocked and stunned.
"LOL, what eternal fame, it's eternal disgrace, more like!"
"Damn, really doesn't know his own limits!"
"No wonder it's the Americans, their ridiculous stunts are always a full combo."
"Haven't they ever thought about whether they can actually win?"
"Well, it's America after all, they've always been arrogant like that."
"Trying to capture Black Saber, holy shit, if they piss off the Corrupted King, and she comes to America to vent, the U.S. economy will collapse right alongside, no joke."
"Forget the economy, the life or death of the whole nation depends on how long these two keep fighting."
"Actually, those great achievements he's talking about aren't wrong — the battle between Black Saber and Berserker has probably already killed tens of millions, definitely anti-human."
"But if you want to hunt Servants, at least know your limits."
"This fleet probably doesn't even have top Magus from the Clock Tower, they'll probably get wrecked by Black Saber and Berserker in no time."
"Not necessarily, I feel like Artoria is losing her edge; maybe there'll be an upset."
"I bet the strongest fleet of humanity has a three-to-seven chance against Blackened Artoria."
"You mean the fleet gets destroyed by Black Saber seven times in three minutes?"
"Too low, at least two to eight."
"One to nine, can't go any higher."
"By the way, what's happening with Raku-kun and Yukino's fight?"
"No idea~."
"Probably still optimistic, huh?"
...
America, Pentagon.
Conference Room.
"Fuck! Fuck! What a stupid move, totally embarrassing us!!"
Trump roared, his face full of rage.
Capturing Blackened Saber wasn't wrong — it was a glorious achievement, once again affirming the supreme dignity of America, but... you motherfuckers couldn't confirm Saber's state first?
Even if she looks injured, what if she still has strength and locks onto you as the target, then she'll definitely land on the mainland.
And on top of that, your inner thoughts got exposed for everyone to see...
What a complete national disgrace!
"How the hell can you pin all this on me!"
At the front row of the conference room, the old general MacArthur angrily stood up.
This was truly unjust!
But as he felt the gazes coming from all directions, the cold air filling the room, the pressure from the transcontinental capitalist conglomerates, General MacArthur could only force himself to suppress his rage.
Even though he had once made contributions for the nation, once shed blood, in front of these cold-blooded sharks, he was nothing at all.
Even his old comrade, an old man from the Morgan family, coldly warned him.
"By God, my friend, I swear, if you dare to pull off such foolishness in our world, I will kick your ass with these sharp shoes!"
"Even you don't believe in me!!"
MacArthur glared wide-eyed, then clenched his teeth, turned around, and slammed the door as he stormed out.
Alright, alright then...
This is how you want to play, huh?
Motherfucker, I'm not getting involved anymore, you guys play on your own.
...
So then...
Can they actually win?
This was the military peak of Earth, the most powerful armed force of the United States, dominating the globe.
This was the Pacific Fleet!
They had not just a few nuclear submarines.
They had clearly seen Saber's armor shattered, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
What if, just what if, America really did capture Saber?
Then… inhale—
Under the breath-held gaze of everyone watching, the Celestial Curtain kept pulling its view deeper into the ocean's depths.
It stretched for who knows how many kilometers, the crushing pressure of the deep sea seemed to pierce through even the Celestial Curtain, making people feel a kind of suffocating pain, as if they couldn't breathe — those who were experiencing it as if firsthand felt even more discomfort.
Yet no one was not fully focused, trembling, excited as they watched.
...
[In the dark depths of the ocean, countless bubbles lifted a proud and breathtaking figure.]
[Her jet-black armor was broken open with a gaping hole, cracks spreading outward from its center, the resplendent Holy King slumbering at the bottom of the sea, beautiful like a fairy tale.]
...
Had she really lost all ability to resist?
Now that they thought about it, although Saber had killed Berserker several times, this truly was the first time Berserker had seriously injured Saber, and Saber didn't have Twelve Labors — once gravely injured…
Just as everyone was restlessly doubting.
Suddenly.
...
[Immediately after, a violent surge of black battle aura erupted back, tens of thousands of tons of seawater within a hundred meters blown apart in an instant, black battle aura shooting straight toward the sky, Black Saber's armor seemingly fully restored, even her wounds recovering along with it.]
[The cold black king lifted her head, as if piercing through billions of tons of seawater, seeing the excitedly approaching fleet above.]
[She raised her fair hand.]
[One strike.]
...
Everyone was stunned, staring fixedly at the radiantly dazzling king within the Celestial Curtain.
"OHHH!"
"This is…"
"I almost forgot, Servants have Masters, they can heal their Servants."
"Holy shit, I forgot too, because Saber had been stolen already — poor Yukino."
"Poor Yukino +1."
"It's over, it's finished… America just stepped on the lion's tail this time."
"GG."
...
[Surface of the sea!]
["Over here."]
["Hook the crane over here!"]
["All patrol planes, take off!"]
[The commander was as excited as if he were high on drugs.]
[Opportunity! A massive opportunity!]
[America would dominate for another century—no, at least three centuries!]
[And they, surely, would soar like kites in the wind, becoming gods of the new world.]
[The fleets encircled into a tight ring, dense fighter jets took off and circled overhead, every launcher moved into position, preparing to counter the dying resistance of the gravely injured 'God.']
[Suddenly, in the dark depths of the sea, a radiance appeared.]
[What's this… MacArthur's expression changed.]
[No, during reconnaissance it was clearly still dormant…]
[Stronger and stronger.]
[BOOM!]
[More than ten kilometers of seawater… collapsed!!]
[As if devoured by some massive beast lurking 270 nautical miles deep!]
[Immediately after, a resplendent, blood-colored pillar of light howled upward, dragging hundreds of millions of tons of seawater straight to the heavens, piercing through heaven and earth, shattering the clouds with a deafening roar, shooting straight into the sky, where an earth-shaking explosion echoed overhead.]
[The sky collapsed, the cloud layers were almost instantly torn apart, the thick mist violently churned and collided, turning the entire sky into a bizarre oil painting, like something from Van Gogh!]
[Then came the torrential downpour from the stratosphere, collapsing the thousand-mile sea region, pouring rain like a deluge.]
[The sea surface even formed a massive vortex, and the invincible Pacific Fleet, smiling in their excitement, was annihilated in the very first instant.]
[Only after came the scattered screams of panic echoing across the sea.]
[Just the residual magical energy unleashed by Black Saber, dragging hundreds of millions of tons of seawater, had already torn the "invincible" Pacific Fleet to shreds.]
[Each gigantic warship, tens of thousands of tons, sank silently into the deep sea, completely still...]
[Well then, against this level of power, humanity's current military force was truly too insignificant.]
[And the black king who caused all this was indifferent, almost not even paying attention to them.]
[That one strike was aimed at Heracles, who was roaring and charging through the sky.]
[It was only meant to use the powerful shockwave and tempest to momentarily slow his approach.]
[Before this level of power, the so-called pinnacle of human civilization… was indeed a joke.]
...
"So basically…"
"I told you already, don't go looking for death."
Someone holding a cigarette, their hand slightly trembling: "This is why using human logic to measure a Servant is just laughable."
"Too tragic."
"Probably not a single one survived."
"Yeah, look at that whirlpool, it could swallow an entire city… Jesus!"
"I bet if they wanted to create a tsunami, they could easily drown an entire country."
"AYO, Berserker's still chasing after her!"
