Chapter 885 - 4: Holy Grail Arbiter_2

At this moment, the gunshot wound on her shoulder had already vanished.

A Heroic Spirit could naturally recover through magic power, and after becoming a Servant contracted to Duncan, she gained a hint of regenerative ability.

Duncan was not a participant in this Holy Grail War in Paris; he was the chosen arbiter.

"Because the future is indeterminable, they made me an arbiter?"

"The future of humanity."

"The French Revolution is indeed one of the historical turning points."

Duncan’s figure leapt lightly, landing atop the cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris. Catherine, using curse magic, seemed to harness the magic of the wind, following gracefully. The qualities of this Majesty’s body were even more exaggerated than the legends claimed; he achieved everything without using magic power, relying solely on the most basic physical strength.

In the legends associated with Duncan, single-handedly charging into thousands of troops was commonplace for him.

This terrifying physical prowess made Catherine, following behind him, tremble slightly. She suddenly felt that many of the legends about Emperor Duncan might be far too conservative.

The wind in Paris was very noisy.

Duncan stood atop Notre-Dame, his gaze downward, and then raised his palm, guiding a wisp of Law power, uttering a word that Catherine found a bit difficult to understand.

—"Law of Cause and Effect!"

Boom.

In an instant.

Catherine felt an extremely terrifying surge of magic power, but it was confined to a range less than three meters around Duncan’s body. Even as she was affected by the magic vortex, her face involuntarily turned rosy, and her expression was excited, as if she was intoxicated.

In the world of Warcraft, there is a blood elf illness called ’magic addiction’. With Catherine’s magician capabilities, her current state resembled ’oxygen drunkenness’, as under the irrigation of the magic vortex, she had exceeded the limit of her own magic pool.

She was intoxicated by magic, and displayed a hint of excitement as if she was addicted.

Duncan’s primary consciousness resided above dimensions; with the derivation of the Law of Cause and Effect, every future was included in the divination technique.

After acquiring part of the Heavenly Dao Laws from the previous world, Duncan’s Law of Cause and Effect grew even stronger.

—"Historical Turning Point (French Revolution) [In Progress]!"

—"Historical Turning Point (Brumaire Coup) [Evolving]!"

Under Duncan’s Law of Cause and Effect, everything was encompassed in the calculation.

The ’French Revolution’ was already about seventy percent complete in progress, while the Brumaire Coup had just begun, and existing facts were difficult for Duncan to alter, while the Law of Cause and Effect evolved into one of many future possibilities.

—The Holy Grail condenses new era ideals of freedom, equality, fraternity, also encompassing the rules of all human history from the old era.

—The shattered "Wings of Freedom" require gathering three fragments (Equality, Fraternity, Freedom) to achieve the miraculous wish. After the Holy Grail ceremony activates, the "Will of Freedom," "Fear Mood" of the populace can all convert into magic power, enhancing the abilities of different Heroic Spirits with revolutionary ideas.

[The arbiter can interfere with the operation rules of the Holy Grail ceremony, granting this ceremony additional rule settings but requires the individual to possess corresponding abilities and rank.]

[The metamorphosis of modern thought has begun, the flames of revolution will burn away the ashes of history.]

[Only Heroic Spirits with enlightened thoughts can enjoy the blessing of revolutionary faith.]

No wonder Catherine couldn’t even defeat Balton.

One of her achievements, suppressing serfs, further strengthening the serf system, expanding the power of the nobility, could be inherently restrained by the revolutionary waves, while Balton was flexible and quickly adapted to firearms, likely performing beyond expectation.

However, she was quite suited for France’s Royalist Party, as she indeed belonged to the conservative faction, needing severe suppression.

—Revolutionary Camp.

—Jacobin faction (Reign of Terror) branch one: The most radical revolutionary camp, using extreme measures to eliminate the privileged class; the reign of terror will strengthen the conversion of magic, possessing historical reckoning-type Noble Phantasm ’The Guillotine’s Judgment,’ the higher the people’s support, the higher the people’s anger, this Noble Phantasm’s ability greatly strengthens, and it has an ’instant death’ judgment effect.

The extreme anger of the lower populace might transform into the power of atrocities and tyranny (Note: similar to Huang Chao Rebellion, but not as ferocious).

—Law of Cause and Effect Deduction (Victory): Jacobin Club reestablishes, utilizing ultimate physical judgment against all privileged classes within France, ’The Guillotine’ grants equality to all beings, ignoring all capacities within the domain of royal power (requiring people’s support and their anger).

Virtue as Terror (A+): Heroic Spirit Robespierre’s abilities greatly strengthen, the people’s angry hatred will evolve into terrifying tyranny.

Incorruptible (EX): Heroic Spirit Robespierre ascends to Immortal Heroic Spirit, his ideals will permeate the process of the French Revolution.

"Freedom, freedom, how many crimes are committed in thy name... but if blood is needed for irrigation, I am willing to bear it all." —Robespierre.

Final Conclusion: Therefore, the summoned Heroic Spirits in the ceremony were devoured by Robespierre, he ascended to Immortal Heroic Spirit.

The Jacobin faction established an "eternal republic," using extremely radical means to eliminate the privileged class, achieve social equality, unify France through terror politics, and incite the siege of the entire European world.

Hiss.

There’s something.

Though Duncan saw only one future deduced by the Law of Cause and Effect, the calculated conclusion brought with it a faint ’Fatherly’ love.
