I originally wanted to summon Medusa, but unexpectedly ended up bringing out her childhood form.
Matou Zangyan was somewhat suspicious, wondering if it was because Matou Sakura was also in her childhood form that this happened.
“Forget it, Anna is Anna.”
Having one is better than having none; since she was summoned, she could be put to use.
What if the Crown liked this version instead?
Old Worm thought this in his heart, but his hands moved without hesitation.
He decisively used the first command seal, showing no intention of saving it.
“In the name of the command seal, Anna, stand at the center of the altar!”
Altar?
Anna, hidden beneath her hood, carefully surveyed her surroundings with her violet eyes.
Hmm.
It felt a bit eerie, yet also somewhat sacred.
Most importantly…
‘This place… seems to still carry the aura of the divine.’
‘Divine descent?’
The sudden use of the command seal by the Master, the aura of the divine.
The bizarre situation before her left Anna's little mind momentarily confused.
She actually wanted to tell Matou Zangyan that such a trivial matter could be obeyed without the use of a command seal.
Unfortunately, Matou Zangyan had no trust in Anna whatsoever.
To prevent the girl from causing trouble, as soon as she stepped into the center of the altar, Old Worm immediately used two more command seals.
“In the name of the command seal, no matter what happens next, you are not allowed to resist!”
“In the name of the command seal, reinforce the previous command!”
In less than a minute, all three command seals were used up.
The powerful binding brought by the Holy Grail ritual locked Anna's every action.
With her meager magical power, she was utterly unable to resist.
Like a robot, she stood motionless at the center of the altar, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of anger.
After all, she was a well-known figure in human history; no matter how good-natured Anna was, she couldn't tolerate Matou Zangyan controlling her ability to act without a word!
What is this?
To use a command seal to restrict me right from the start, is this how one uses a Servant?
Does he not want to win the Holy Grail War?
More importantly, let’s not forget where Anna comes from.
She hails from Greece, a land filled with loli enthusiasts and strong alkalis…
Matou Zangyan's actions really made it hard for Anna not to overthink.
‘If only I had descended in my adult form, perhaps it would be safer? At least I could preserve my chastity…’
The petite girl couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Here’s a joke.
In Greece, where loli enthusiasts abound, a slender and long-legged Medusa in adulthood is considered ugly.
Yes, Medusa is ugly.
One can only say that they really cannot understand the aesthetics of those Greek heroes…
Matou Zangyan had no idea that in just a few seconds, Anna had thought so much.
Right now, he just wanted to take advantage of the command seal's effect and quickly sacrifice Anna to obtain his first blessing!
However, before that, he had to open the live stream!
Previously, he had watched Danzo and Kibutsuji Muzan show off; this time, it was finally his turn!
This was a rare opportunity, and Matou Zangyan naturally wouldn't miss it.
After some operations in his mind, the notification sound from the chat group rang out.
[Group member Matou Zangyan has opened the live stream!]
[Group member Dark Ninja World, group member I Want to Sunbathe joins the live stream!]
[I Want to Sunbathe: Another live stream? This time it’s finally your turn, Mr. Zangyan.]
[Dark Ninja World: I’m almost ready too; I can perform the second sacrifice soon! This time, I’m going to sacrifice two priestesses!]
[I Want to Sunbathe: Why two?]
[Dark Ninja World: ………………]
Sometimes, one can really be driven to tears by Kibutsuji Muzan's stupidity.
Matou Zangyan disdainfully cursed “idiot” in his heart, decisively placing Kibutsuji Muzan in the ranks of uselessness, but on the surface, he actively explained, “Since it’s a sacrifice, we should show our sincerity! One priestess for the first time, two for the second; this is very reasonable. Otherwise, why would the Crown bestow divine grace?”
[I Want to Sunbathe: I see now, I understand!]
[Dark Ninja World: As long as you understand, I don’t want to lose the Crown’s favor because of some group member!]
Having tasted the sweetness of the first sacrifice, the items requested for the second time would surely be more!
To not want to increase the number of offerings, does he really think the divine is a philanthropist?
Matou Zangyan sneered, growing increasingly disdainful of Kibutsuji Muzan.
Although they were all villains, Muzan was truly a bit too foolish!
Matou Zangyan was certain that it wouldn’t be long before he would be eliminated by the newcomers joining the group!
‘Looks like I need to avoid contacting this fool in the future. I don’t want to get splattered with blood when he gets punished!’
Under the girl’s strange gaze, the old worm, whose expression changed unpredictably, leaned on his cane and walked briskly to the altar, kneeling down.
He knocked his head three times, breaking his forehead, and then fervently began to chant prayers praising the divine.
“In the depths of the cosmic abyss, the stars shine with their eternal light!”
“I call upon you, the omniscient and omnipotent One who unifies all!”
“Great Master of Dreams, Weaver of Time and Space.”
“You are the source of truth! You are the end of fate! You are the immortal Creator!”
“Humble believer Matou Zangyan offers the sacrifice Anna, and here requests your merciful gaze!”
Although her body was restricted by the command seal, Anna's hearing was still intact, and she naturally heard Matou Zangyan's prayers not far away.
She was completely stunned, doubting whether she had misheard!
Sacrifice?
Me?
The Master summoned me just to use me as a sacrifice?
Anna instinctively felt anger, glaring fiercely at the kneeling Matou Zangyan, who appeared devout.
If she could, she wanted to immediately eliminate this oblivious creature!
But then Anna thought, she was just a Servant, not a living person.
Even if she was taken as a sacrifice, what could it matter?
No matter how powerful the divine was, could it really pull her true self down from the Throne of Heroes?
It didn’t matter.
Just a Servant's avatar, if it’s to be a sacrifice, then so be it.
The girl felt like a salted fish, having just flopped around a bit before giving up.
Completely giving in.
She couldn’t be bothered to resist, just waiting for Matou Zangyan to summon that so-called “One Who Unifies All.”
After it was over, she could return to the Throne of Heroes to continue her leisure.
Whatever will be, will be.
