I clicked "yes" but was denied entry to Infinite.

Li Wei spoke slowly and authoritatively: "I hereby declare that the Vanity Hill Garden is now my exclusive property!"

The vast power of arrogance instantly swept across and covered the entire Sky Garden. In a short while, some properties of this Noble Phantasm changed, and it was taken over by Li Wei's Seven Deadly Sins power.

In fact, Li Wei could have used greed to gradually erode it, but firstly, the Sky Garden of Vanity was too large, and secondly, as an EX-level Noble Phantasm, it was very different from the Noble Phantasms of Luo Shuyuan that he had previously cheated on. Taking both factors into consideration, Li Wei decided to unleash the second stage of Pride.

Now, the vain Hanging Gardens is Li Wei's treasure...

……

Castle site—

Amakusa Shirou Tokisada looked at Semiramis, who was in a dazed and disoriented state after being summoned back, her hair even a little messy. Seeing his former Assyrian empress, the proud and confident Servant, reduced to this state, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada felt a complex mix of emotions, including a touch of heartache.

"Semiramis..."

"Hey Shiro, is it really right for us to oppose him?" Semiramis stared blankly at Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

“That’s right, Semiramis.” Amakusa Shiro Tokisada gave her a mysterious smile.

Seeing Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's smile, Semiramis's expression became very complicated.

Shiro, what exactly did you talk about with him that day? What are you planning?

Partnering with that person... can you really achieve your ambitions?

Oh, Shiro...

Just as Semiramis was at a loss for words, she suddenly sensed something, her eyes narrowed, and she exclaimed in surprise, "The Hanging Gardens of Vanity has escaped my control!?"

"what?"

Achilles asked, puzzled, "Assassin, are you sure you're not misunderstanding something? Your garden is clearly still floating above."

“Could it be…” Chiron said gravely, “that he severed your connection with the Noble Phantasm, and perhaps even…”

"Ah, it seems he has already taken your garden away, Semiramis." Amakusa Shiro Tokisada smiled, his expression no longer showing the panic he once had.

"They actually managed to steal even a treasure of that caliber?"

Luo Shuyuan, who had been cheated on by Li Wei before, was shocked.

During his first encounter with Li Wei, he used the Gate of Kings to launch a probing attack, only to have several of his Noble Phantasms stolen by Li Wei. At the time, he speculated that Li Wei possessed an ability similar to a knight's invincibility against unarmed combat, without giving it much thought, assuming it must have a limit. But now it seems...

If even a vain rooftop garden can be greened, what else can't be greened?

“Wait, if he controls the Hanging Gardens of Vanity, then the castle would be…” Achilles began.

“Calm down, Achilles,” Chiron said.

"teacher?"

"Don't forget why he went to the meeting alone even though he knew there was an ambush there."

“Because we still have Ruler as a hostage,” Atalanta interjected.

Chiron nodded. "Yes, since he's coming, it proves he values ​​the Ruler. In this situation, he won't attack, and we can avoid it. But what about the Ruler?"

"Under the bombardment of the courtyard, the ruler will only die faster than us."

Flanders III laughed domineeringly, "Then, gentlemen, what follows is our duel with him."

"Let us use our overwhelming strength to flatten this mountain that stands in our way!"

"Since he won't be controlling the Sky Garden to bombard us, that means we can disregard destroying it first."

The question is, how do we get up there?

“No, no need,” Chiron said rationally. “Just as he will go, as long as the Ruler is still in our hands, he will come down on his own.”

"The reason he took Assassin's Noble Phantasm was probably because he eliminated a threat from the sky."

Semiramis sighed. After leaving the Hanging Gardens, her strength had plummeted to rock bottom. This was the price she had paid. She would be almost powerless without the gardens.

It was at this moment that Semiramis somewhat regained her senses from the interference of the Holy Grail. Looking at the still confident crowd, she couldn't help but feel a little doubt and a little... fear.

What exactly makes them so confident?

Even the legendary great sage Chiron seemed somewhat confused. Could it be that even he, at this point, couldn't grasp the situation?!

"Si Lang, do you know the ins and outs of this?"

Shaking her head, Semiramis decided not to say anything more. After all, she had already withdrawn from this Holy Grail War. In that case, she might as well watch the battle as a spectator.

"It's just a bit of a pity. If he were still on the throne, it would definitely be the best audience seat," Semiramis thought wistfully.

……

Li Wei sat high on his jade throne, controlling the vain sky garden, looking down at those below.

In just a blink of an eye, Li Wei understood their thoughts.

"You didn't come up on your own initiative because you thought I would be wary of Joan of Arc's safety, so you felt safe with me?"

Li Wei chuckled softly: "Although this is one of my concerns, do you know that even if Joan of Arc weren't here, I wouldn't deny you even the slightest chance to resist?"

"Speaking of which, this vain hanging garden makes me miss the immortal royal court of that tyrant from before."

However, the royal court, along with his self-sealing, also entered that place and has remained sealed ever since. Perhaps one day it will break free from the seal again.

After all, now... even the future Roman Myriad Civilizations End Tree and the Gate of Truth have appeared, even if they are incomplete, it is still a sign.

Of course, he also didn't really want the tyrant's immortal court to reappear, because that would also represent a signal.

That... was once his personal throne, the one that ruled the world.

Shaking his head, Li Wei stopped thinking about these things and focused on the battle in front of him.

"Since you refuse to come over, then I'll just have to go and kill my way over there."

"but……"

Li Wei's gaze turned cold. "I want you to realize one thing: it's not that you forced me to do this, but... I want to do this, that's all."

As he spoke, Li Wei extended his right palm, which was covered with countless strange Command Seals.

"In the name of the Command Spell, I command, Ruler Jeanne, return to my side!"

Chapter 318 We still don't know the name of the flower we saw that day

Joan of Arc felt like a failure.

That day she started running, thinking she could reach the finish line.

Unexpectedly, before she could find Li Wei, she was found first. After a fierce battle, she was captured. Being captured was not the problem; the problem was that she was now being held hostage.

Judging from their intentions, they were planning to use this to threaten Li Wei and force him to go here alone.

"Li Wei, they're definitely lying in ambush here. It's extremely dangerous."

Joan of Arc prayed silently that Li Wei would not come; she did not want to see him get hurt or even perish here because of him.

However... for some reason, she had a sliver of hope in her heart. What exactly was she hoping for? She didn't even dare to think about it.

Joan of Arc felt that this heartfelt expectation was wicked, something that shouldn't exist. She clearly hoped Li Wei would be safe, hoped her friend wouldn't be in trouble, but…

Why did she have a vague desire for Li Wei to come and save her?

Do you understand now? Your feelings for that person.

Are you... still unwilling to face it?

"Leticia, what exactly do you mean? I don't quite understand."

You really don't know?

Joan of Arc, even though you know so clearly what's in your heart, you... still don't want to be honest?

"Frank? Frank about what?"

What exactly were your feelings when you hugged that person...?

"Leticia? Leticia?"

Joan of Arc wanted to press for more information, but Leticia's voice had already disappeared.

"What are my feelings towards Li Wei...?"

"Isn't he a friend?" Joan of Arc thought wistfully.

"Li Wei, I really want to see you right now."

"Lord, please tell me what to do? Please help your believers," Joan of Arc prayed.

At that moment, Joan of Arc suddenly had the image of a door in her mind, a door where she had received revelation during her lifetime.

Majestic, mysterious, and vast.

She couldn't see the door clearly, but she could sense the aura contained within it.

"Lord, do you dwell on the other side of the door? Are you about to reveal yourself once more to your believer Joan of Arc?"

Joan of Arc's eyes shone with hope, and then—

"...Rulener Jeanne, come back to me!"

Who is calling me?

Is that you, Lord?

But that voice... it sounds strangely familiar.

Just as Joan of Arc was thinking this, she was enveloped in white light. As the light was about to dissipate, she looked up and saw Li Wei sitting high on the jade throne, looking so sacred and sublime in the remaining white light.

For a moment, Joan of Arc was somewhat lost in thought.

Li Wei jumped down and touched the forehead of Joan of Arc, who was still in a daze.

"He doesn't have a fever, could he be mentally impaired?"

Only then did Joan of Arc realize what had happened, her pretty face flushing red. "Idiot!"

Li Wei was immediately horrified: "Could I have summoned a fake? My Jeanne d'Arc can't possibly be this cute!"

"So cute." Jeanne blushed. "Li Wei, what are you saying? You, you, you, you're not serious at all!"

Joan of Arc patted her cheeks with both hands to clear her head.

“By the way, Li Wei, how did I end up here?” Joan of Arc asked, puzzled. “I was clearly imprisoned in the castle.”

This was something Joan of Arc couldn't understand. If Li Wei had secretly sneaked over and helped her escape, that would have been one thing, but just a moment ago they were in the castle, and now they had moved to another place on their own.

Only... could do something like that.

As if struck by a sudden realization, Jeanne exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be... Li Wei, you're using a Command Spell!?"

"That's not right. I'm a Heroic Spirit summoned by the Holy Grail itself. Besides, you're not my Master, so how could you possibly have my Command Seals!?"

"Li Wei, what exactly did you do?!"

"Shouldn't it be a Command Seal?"

Li Wei shrugged. "It's a Command Seal."

"How can it be!"

Joan of Arc was shocked: "Did you secretly do something to me while I was sleeping, Li Wei?"

At this point, Joan of Arc blushed again.

"..."

Li Wei looked at her speechlessly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He said that people like him, who are serious and traditional, can't stand these young people with unconventional thinking.

"What kind of person do you take me for? Would I do something like a night raid on you?"

Jenny hesitated for a moment, feeling a little heartbroken and slightly disappointed.

Yes, Li Wei... although he seems a bit frivolous on the surface, I guess in his heart he still considers me a true friend.

It's ridiculous that I would have such inappropriate thoughts.

Joan of Arc, what are you thinking?
