Chapter 873: -862- What are you going to do?
—Mythological War.
A struggle for dominance, for the future, for beliefs among the Celtic, Greek, and Indian mythologies. Such a war is destined to unfold on the mysterious and sparse North American continent.
As the king of the Celtic faction, Cú Chulainn made a declaration of war against all enemies present, who were opposed to his faction.
Perhaps, Cú Chulainn didn't consider the enemies from other mythologies significant before. Maybe he just saw them as enemies that needed to be slain.
Perhaps, driven by his own bestial nature, he made this declaration to achieve his ultimate goal of killing everyone.
However, at this moment, Cú Chulainn did declare war against everyone present.
For the final end, and for the ultimate victory.
"Clang!"
Cú Chulainn drew a rune, causing it to emit a dazzling light.
Following that, Cú Chulainn disappeared.
"Wait...!"
Both Rama and Atalanta's expressions changed.
"Don't... don't let him escape! Hurry, chase after him!"
Jason also realized and shouted at everyone.
Unfortunately...
"It's useless, Lord Jason. We can't catch up now."
Medea emerged from the Bounded Field, smiling bitterly at Jason.
"That's a rune of the shield that's advantageous for escaping on the battlefield. Once activated, it's challenging to catch up."
Scáthach shook her head as well, dispelling the calculations in everyone's minds.
"Moreover, an injured beast is still a beast. The more grievously wounded, the more formidable the counterattack."
Karna quietly expressed this to everyone.
"In other words, it means we can't catch up no matter what, right?"
Rama also understood.
"Wise decision."
Atalanta, who grew up as a huntress in the mountains, particularly understood this principle.
As for Berserker, it goes without saying that letting him destroy everything in front of him is easy, but making him chase an invisible enemy is an extremely challenging task.
Everyone could only watch as Cú Chulainn departed without pursuing him.
Rozen was no exception.
"There's no other choice."
"I should rest for a bit," Rozen said, seemingly exhaling all the tension, slumping onto the ground.
"Senpai!?"
Mash was immediately surprised and worried, supporting him.
"I'm fine. The injuries are healing, but I'm just a bit tired due to blood loss and depleted magical energy," Rozen reassured Mash, shaking his head to signal her not to worry.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt relieved.
However...
"The matter is not over yet."
Rozen surveyed everyone.
"You heard the King of Madness declaring war, right?"
Rozen straightforwardly asked.
This made everyone's just-settled hearts tense up again.
"This is a mythological war."
Rozen spoke to everyone.
"In this mythological war, what are you prepared to do?"
This was the most critical question at the moment.
"Let me tell you first. We're definitely going to the Northern Territory."
Rozen first expressed his will.
"As the mad king said, Chaldea needs to save human history, repair this singularity, and eventually recover the Holy Grail. So, in this war, we must participate."
Rather than saying it's a choice, there was no second option for Chaldea.
Therefore, not only Rozen but also Mash needed to participate. Scáthach and Karna, being their companions, naturally had no reason to object.
"As for whether you want to participate or not, it depends on your choice," Rozen said with an indifferent tone. "Of course, what I will do about your choice is my business."
Saying so, Rozen looked at Jason.
Everyone instantly understood the situation and turned their gaze towards Jason.
This was because Jason not only represented the Greek faction but also had the curse of the runic symbol planted by Rozen within him.
If Jason chose not to participate...
"Then, to prevent anyone from suddenly causing trouble during the battle, sitting back and reaping the benefits, I'll have to resort to some extreme measures."
Rozen stated this without any hesitation, making Jason's face turn extremely unpleasant.
However, this time, Jason couldn't escape the threat.
"After witnessing the battle just now, I've already made up my mind."
Atalante walked slowly from the Greek side toward Rozen, standing by his side.
"I will fight alongside you."
Atalante unexpectedly left the Greek camp and made this choice on her own.
"Miss Atalante...!?"
Mash was both surprised and delighted.
But upon careful consideration, it was the natural course of action.
"The reason I stayed on the Greek side, being commanded by Jason, was to prevent this singularity from collapsing."
Atalante spoke without any hesitation.
"But, as the Master of Chaldea said, this is ultimately a temporary solution. So now, I've decided to take a risk and fight alongside you against the Celts."
This was Atalante's choice.
"Atalante...! You...!?"
Jason was suddenly filled with anger, as if betrayed.
But...
"I advise you to make a wise choice, Jason."
Atalante calmly spoke to Jason. "You saw the power of the Mad King. We alone can't deal with him. Even if we can resist temporarily, we'll eventually be overwhelmed. You've realized this, which is why you came here to absorb new forces. If all the remaining Servants in this singularity are defeated in the upcoming mythological war, it will be just us left. Do you think we can hold on for long?"
The most realistic analysis left Jason speechless.
"Lord Jason..."
Medea looked at Jason in this state, seemingly waiting for him to make a decision.
Berserker also stood there like a statue, devoid of any movement.
This left Jason feeling both unwilling and angry.
Even if he were powerless, Jason wasn't to the point where he couldn't understand the current simple and straightforward situation.
Not agreeing would result in death.
Even if he wouldn't die, in the current state of losing Atalante, even with Medea and Berserker still present, the Greek faction couldn't resist the invasion from the Celtic side.
So, what choice did Jason have?
"Darn it!" Jason exclaimed in frustration. "I get it! I agree! Is that good enough!?"
Jason's frustrated words determined the intention of the entire Greek faction.
"I've also decided."
Rama stepped forward, looking at Rozen.
"Master, let me follow you."
Rama, contrary to his previous stubbornness, compromised with Rozen.
"I've come to understand. With my power alone, I can't rescue Sita. So, let me use your power to save her from the Celts." Rama smiled at Rozen. "Of course, I'll lend my strength to you as well in the fight."
Rozen made this choice.
"Good."
Rozen nodded immediately.
Then, Rozen turned his head and looked in a specific direction.
Everyone was surprised, then they remembered something and turned to look as well.
There, a Servant was standing in silence.
"What are you going to do? Endowed Hero?"
Rozen questioned this last person.
This made Arjuna involuntarily tighten the bow in his hand.
