Chapter 7: Enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree
The expected coldness that penetrated the body did not come, and instead, there was a gentle embrace that I had never experienced before.
When Nero turned his head, he found that he was actually being held in someone's arms.
And that person is...
Looking at that profile that didn't look like a human being, she instantly felt a little drunk.
Nero is a person who pursues beauty to the extreme, but what she pursues is definitely not just something superficial like a "beautiful face".
The beauty of the face, the beauty of the scenery, the beauty of music theory, the beauty of poetry, the beauty of the soul...
What she pursues is the all-encompassing, pure concept of "beauty".
And all the good things she pursued seemed to be found in this profile.
Especially those holy golden pupils, as if all things in the world were brewing in them and all truths were hidden in them.
Could it be the goddess of beauty from mythology who has descended to earth?
She couldn't help but have such thoughts in her mind.
Yahweh naturally had no idea of Nero's thoughts. After all, he had no habit of prying into other people's minds.
All his attention at this moment was focused on the awakened being in front of him.
That is the person who sits on the twin Sala trees and attains enlightenment.
He looked dignified and his expression was like that of an enlightened monk. Without a trace of filth or shadow, he gave people a sacred feeling.
It is said that he had reached the "end" long before Solomon.
He had to admit that this aura that was detached from the outside world was more extraordinary than any of the gods he had ever seen.
If it were under normal circumstances, he wouldn't mind discussing the doctrines with this great enlightened being from another world.
Unfortunately...
"Since you have realized the truth, why do you still get involved in the secular world?"
The god looked deep in his eyes and asked the Buddha this.
"Since you are already in heaven, why did you come down to earth?"
After hearing Yahweh's question, the eyes of the awakened one, which seemed to see through everything, finally showed a trace of fluctuation.
He looked at Yahweh deeply, and then replied.
He had already known the identity of the god in front of him from this holy light.
After hearing the words of the enlightened one, Nero in Yahweh's arms also understood his identity. He was surprised and felt a little strange at the same time.
Unexpectedly, the small Moon Holy Grail War actually caused the two supreme gods, Enlightenment and God, to come one after another.
I guess it's hard to find such a grand occasion in all the Holy Grail Wars throughout history?
Yahweh was not surprised after hearing the answer from the enlightened one.
He smiled slightly, and then casually extended his hand, just like the Awakened One facing Nero before.
The next second, the holy light that filled every piece of space began to riot instantly.
In just a moment, the Holy King Tianlun was transformed into the most basic magic particles by this light.
Then, these holy lights turned into a torrent and rushed towards the awakened one.
However, unlike the overwhelming force just now, these holy lights were firmly blocked by the invisible barrier in front of the awakened one, and could not advance even a little bit.
Enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree!
Yahweh instantly found the true identity of the invisible barrier in front of the awakened one from his memory.
This is the protection that only those who have reached the truth of the world and the answer to human principles can possess.
It is also the proof of the "protection of the world" called "defense against purge".
Unconditionally weakens the damage received from physical attacks, conceptual attacks, and inter-dimensional attacks.
Its essence is different from any rules and authority that Yahweh has ever seen.
And with Yahweh's vision, even if he had never seen it before, he could easily see the power of this ability called "Enlightenment of the Bodhi Tree".
only...
He raised his arm slightly, then clenched it violently, and the holy golden light instantly shone ten times brighter.
The originally unbreakable defense in front of the awakened one began to show cracks that could not bear the weight.
"..."
After taking a last look at Yahweh, the awakened one closed his eyes.
It was not that he had lost all ability to resist, but that he responded to the call as a servant, while Yahweh came in his true form.
The ending...was already determined from the beginning!
Just like his previous battle with Nero.
The next second, the "Enlightenment of the Bodhi Tree" was completely shattered, and he and the twin Sala trees under him were turned into nothingness by the holy light.
"..."
As he withdrew his hand, Yahweh's face did not show any joy of victory, but was instead filled with disappointment.
What a pity, he is just an incarnation of a Servant.
If it is the original body, then...
"Um…you…"
The sudden voice interrupted Yahweh's thoughts. He lowered his head and saw the Rose Emperor looking at him with a troubled expression.
She didn't quite understand why this supreme god of Christianity came to this Moon Holy Grail War and even saved her from the hands of the Enlightened One.
After all, she is not a Christian.
Not only was she not a believer, she was also the biggest heretic of her time.
You know, one of the main reasons why she was called a tyrant in later generations was her suppression of Christianity.
There is even a theory that Revelation was written in reaction to this repression.
The Hebrew pronunciation of her imperial title, NRVN QSR, was mistaken for "the beast of 666" and was considered a demon.
If she is the God of the Bible…
I guess he used holy light to turn her into ashes the moment he saw her.
"No need to doubt,"
Yahweh saw the confusion in Nero's heart and chuckled.
"Your Master will give you the answer."
Eh?
Player?
Nero could never understand how his ordinary Master could be related to the Supreme God of Christianity.
Yawei didn't explain any more, he just held her and landed in front of Zabizi.
As for Tevez, who was a little distraught because of the disappearance of the awakened one, he didn't even look at him.
"Saber!"
Watching Yahweh slowly put Nero on the ground, Zabizi, whose injuries had fully recovered, rushed over and hugged her Servant in her arms.
She was not the kind of person who would get easily excited, but with the rest of her life left after death, she just wanted to feel the warmth of her own servant.
"Player..."
Feeling Zabiko's movements, the expression on Nero's face became extremely gentle.
She put her arm around Zabiko's slender waist and spoke in a slightly complacent tone.
"The player does not need to do this. Even if the opponent is the great enlightened one of Buddhism, I can still bring victory to the player."
Nero said this as if he had completely forgotten who was beaten by the awakened one without any chance of fighting back.
"Well, I believe in Saber."
Letting go of Nero, Zabiko nodded gently.
Then she turned her gaze to Yahweh, who was standing next to her and looking at the two of them with a smile, and a faint blush appeared on her face.
"Thank you very much for saving my life, Your Majesty."
She took Nero's hand and walked to Yahweh, bowed slightly, and thanked him with a very sincere tone.
