Chapter 446: Beast VI, Beast of 666, and the Beast of Revelation
Agravain, being besieged by Atalanta, Medusa, and Asterios, suddenly lifted his head toward the royal palace's direction.
His armor was filled with cutting marks while half of his body had turned into a gray-white stone statue, but even so, excitement gleamed in his eyes as he opened his bloodied mouth and let out a crazed laughter.
"Hahahaha! My Master, have you finally made up your mind?! Then let's bury this world together with our will!"
With that declaration, Agravain's body instantly exploded, turning into a brilliant mass of light, merging into the halo of light in the sky.
"What the heck just happened?" Atalanta stared fixedly at the halo of light.
Even though it appeared as beautiful as the Milky Way, it gave her a chilling sensation.
"Is it Merlin's doing again?" Medusa remarked from the side.
Her once familiar and beautiful face showed visible signs of exhaustion and weakness due to the excessive use of her Mystic Eyes, waves of dizziness continuously assailed her mind. If it weren't for her strong will, she would have collapsed long ago.
On the other hand, Asterios collapsed to the ground like a bear, exhausted from the prolonged battle. Despite his incredible endurance, even he was feeling drained after fighting for so long.
Meanwhile, Mash looked at the halo of light with a clear expression of confusion on her face as she supported Melusine in her human form out of a crater.
"What is that?"
Upon hearing Mash's question, Melusine stared at the halo of light in the sky for a moment before her face suddenly changed.
"That is... a gathering of souls? This is bad, someone wants to use them for a sacrifice!"
"A sacrifice? For what?" Mash asked curiously.
Melusine took a deep breath, her little face showing a solemn expression.
"In ancient times, the entire world was controlled by the gods. Those who refused to submit to the rule of the gods either perished or were exiled. In order to return to this world, those exiles attempted to manipulate and tempt humans into conducting sacrificial rituals. As long as they offered enough souls, they could open a passage and return to this world."
Upon hearing that, Mash's face instantly turned pale.

After a while, pure magical energy gathered in Manaka's palm, forming a palm-sized sphere of light.
"Seems like it's not quite enough... But luckily, there are some backup resources here..." Manaka muttered to herself as she glanced at the sphere of light in her palm.
*Rumble—*
With a light step of her foot, the entire Camelot trembled for a moment.
Shortly after, crimson veins, like blood, spread from the collapsed royal palace along the ground in all directions, resembling a dense spider web that enveloped the entire city.
Due to the previous snowfall, all the residents of Camelot were trapped in their homes. They watched helplessly as the crimson veins crawled up the walls and across the ceilings, wrapping every corner of their rooms.
It felt strange, almost lifelike.
"This is the authority of an Earth Mother Goddess, drinking fresh blood to usher in new life, which is the essence of the cycle of reincarnation..." Manaka remarked, gently clenching her palm. "Let your humble lives bear witness to the greatness that is about to come..."
*Ba-dump!* *Ba-dump!*
In that instant, all the crimson veins radiated brilliance, pulsating rhythmically like a heartbeat. Every resident of Camelot suddenly felt as if something were being sucked out of their bodies, rendering them powerless, even breathing became a struggle.
Before long, they collapsed one after another and became unconscious.
"Stop!" Arkhan could no longer bear it.
He quickly deactivated Elysion Pedion and unleashed Judgment of Shamash in the form of the Might of An-Utu, swinging it fiercely forward.
*Whoosh!*
The scorching flames surged forward like a raging tide, destroying everything in their path.
Manaka raised her arm, creating hundreds of layers of magical barriers ahead, each capable of withstanding a B-rank Noble Phantasm's full power.
Eventually, all the barriers were destroyed, but unfortunately, the flames didn't reach Manaka at all. At the same time, the Might of An-Utu's power was depleted, transforming back into the Cleaver of Shamash.
Arkhan gasped for air, his skin flushed with abnormal redness from the backlash caused by the Might of An-Utu.
Anyone standing beside him would be astonished to find him as hot as a furnace. This was the consequence of wielding the Key of Destruction's Zeroth Power for too long. To use this weapon, which embodied destruction, one must be fully prepared for its burning resolve.
"It seems you won't be able to wield that weapon again anytime soon..." Manaka remarked, looking at the gradually dimming Cleaver of Shamash, her expression unchanged. "Well, just stand there and watch... Even without Nero, I can still summon the Beast."
She glanced at the white city completely covered by the crimson veins, sighing with some regret.
"I didn't originally intend to do this... Saber's wish is to rebuild Britain, but a country where only the ruler speaks seems too desolate, don't you think? That's why I gathered people with pure and noble hearts to present Saber with a perfect Britain. Imagining a perfect and noble king who ruled flawless subjects... it's really like the ideal country in legends, right?"
'I truly underestimated this girl's insanity...' Arkhan thought solemnly.
Manaka finally revealed the true nature of the Holy Selection.
It wasn't for the future of humanity at all; she simply wanted to add some beauty to the garden she was building for her beloved, discarding and trampling upon those who didn't fit her vision—truly insane and crazy.
"But it's okay..." Manaka smiled brightly. "When Britain reappears, I'll have plenty of time to search for suitable souls in other timelines or other worlds. I will become Saber's queen and rule this ideal country together with him... Hehehe..."
"You... can't..." Arthur gathered his last ounce of strength to utter these words.
"Shhh... Saber, what you need now is to rest, okay?" Manaka turned to look at him, her eyes filled with unprecedented warmth and gentleness. "I promise you, when you wake up, you will see your Britain—a more beautiful one, a Britain that will never fall."
Upon hearing her nonsense, Arthur stared fiercely at Manaka, but unfortunately, he couldn't attack with his gaze like a certain American hero. Even if he could, the almost depleted magical energy within him couldn't support such an action.
"Alright, everything is almost ready..."
Manaka raised her hand again, but this time, what appeared in her palm was a shining golden cup, undoubtedly a Holy Grail.
However, on top of the Holy Grail, there was a shapeless mass of black flesh wriggling, emitting a foul odor.
Its tentacles flailed eagerly in the air as if craving for something.
"Do you remember it, Saber?"
Manaka looked at the mass of black flesh with tenderness in her eyes, the first time she showed such emotion to something other than Arthur.
"This is the child I conceived with my love for you. It's the proof of our love."
"When you swung that sword back then, it dealt a heavy blow to this child, but I worked hard to restore it to its current state."
"But it's okay... Just like how I still deeply love you, this child won't resent you. It will carry our wishes and together, we'll explore new worlds."
Manaka let go of the Holy Grail, watching as it slowly ascended into the air.
As if unlocking some kind of restraint, the chaotic mass of black flesh suddenly expanded, swallowing the Holy Grail and then swallowing the sky. It became a boiling sea of flesh, piled above Camelot, its massive fleshy tentacles writhing in celebration of its rebirth amidst this nightmarish scene.
With its chaotic jaws, it greedily chewed and tore apart the souls in the halo of light, its twisted and terrifying body trembling with excitement.
It couldn't generate consciousness or similar brain organs, but its inherent authority allowed it to approach the thoughts of sentient beings infinitely, expressing its joy through the movement of its cells.
"See you later, Saber." Manaka turned to Arthur with a smile. "Believe me, the future you anticipate is about to come."
In the next moment, she stepped into the void, walking step by step toward the chaotic sea of flesh in the sky, which humbly extended its tentacles to welcome its mother.
With this, the most blasphemous being in the world finally came into existence. Its name was none other than Beast VI, the Beast of 666, and the Beast of Revelation.
