Chapter 27 This battle was fought with extreme brutality.
[Final Battle — Commencing!]
This battle was fought with extreme brutality.
With the plot buff active, Belle, eyes red, used up all her Command Spells and finally shattered Jeanne d'Arc's battle flag amidst the sea of fire.
When the battle ended, the CG scene lit up again.
The defeated Jeanne d'Arc lay in the ruins covered in blood, her body beginning to turn into specks of black spirit particles, slowly dissipating.
Because she was originally a [Fake] that should not have existed in this world, as the Singularity was repaired, she too would return completely to nothingness.
"Is it over..."
Jeanne d'Arc looked up at the haze gradually dispersing in the sky, her lips curling into a poignantly beautiful self-mocking smile. "In the end, I was nothing more than a false dream..."
She turned her head to look at the Master and Jeanne d'Arc; the previous resentment was gone from her eyes, replaced by a heartbreaking sense of relief and loneliness.
"However, even if it was a dream... at least, I once burned to my heart's content in this sky..."
Accompanied by that intensely tear-jerking piano piece, the Dragon Witch's body turned completely to ash in the wind, leaving nothing behind.
[First Singularity: The Hundred Years' War of the Evil Dragons - Successfully Repaired (Clear)!]
When the clear screen popped up in Belle's field of vision, she was crying so hard that even the lenses of her VR headset were blurred.
"Waaaah... My Jeanne d'Arc! How could this happen! She was clearly in so much pain, even her reason for existing was forced upon her by someone else, and in the end, not even a body was left!"
The viewers in the livestream were also completely plunged into a state of immense lingering regret:
"Damn developers! You have no heart! You killed off Marie, and you didn't even spare the villain boss!"
"Too tragic. She wasn't born evil; she was just a Fake carrying someone else's sorrow!"
"My heart aches for her! That self-mocking smile when she finally dissipated—even I, a grown man, couldn't hold it back!"
"Protest! Serious protest! I want Jeanne d'Arc! Why is such a good character a one-time NPC!"
In games of the parallel world, when a boss died, they were just dead; players only cared about what high-tier gear they dropped.
But FGO's textbook-level writing and presentation vividly portrayed a villainous witch with such depth that it made players across the entire net weep and go crazy for her!
Over the next few days, the Global Network Forum was completely dominated by the "Dragon Witch."
Fan artists were frantically producing stunning illustrations of Jeanne d'Arc; lore enthusiasts began to dig deep into her historical ties with Marshal Gilles de Rais; while countless whales and ordinary players alike flooded Chaldea's official account with frantic comments, even threatening to "stop spending":
"Damn developers! Hurry up and implement Jeanne d'Arc into the gacha pool!"
"I want to pull for her! I want to bring her back to Chaldea! I want to tell her she's not a Fake!"
"As long as you dare to release her, I'll dare to whale until I'm broke!"
Facing this near-manic enthusiasm from players across the net, Oriole watched the system backend where emotional points were skyrocketing by astronomical figures every day, a deep smile curling on his lips.
His fingers lightly tapped the tabletop, his gaze locked onto a brand-new event script in the system mall that radiated a blood-red light: [Da Vinci and the Seven Counterfeit Heroic Spirits].
"It's time to give this world a little 'Avenger' shock."
