Chapter 46 The First Generation: Is This the Partner of Justice?
"Found it."
On the street, Hikari raised the instrument in his hand slightly, then looked up at the abandoned factory in front of him.
"I heard Lin Lu say that many villains like to hide in these abandoned factories."
"It's said that it's because this place is remote, not many people come back, and it's far from the city, making it easy for people to escape."
"But I think this kind of place is the most dangerous place in the Holy Grail War system. Although you can do things away from the eyes of ordinary people, that's only when your strength is absolutely overwhelming."
"Without absolute strength, wouldn't it turn into the enemy's home ground once they find us?"
"If you can attack at will, then so can the enemy."
Hikari shook his head, feeling that this was not a good idea.
"Are you going to make a move?" Red A stepped forward and asked the two, "I've never seen the Light Clan before."
"It depends on the situation. Ideally, we should let them retreat on their own without intervening."
Zoffy stated, "We will not use violence unless absolutely necessary."
Red A nodded upon hearing this. It seems that the Light Clan are still civilized people. They possess great strength but adhere to their principles, which is a fortunate thing.
"Let's go."
Zoffy led the way, and the three of them went inside.
As they entered, a group of people were already watching them from the rooftop of the Flying Building.
Six people, three men and three women.
Warriors, archers, shield bearers, mages, sorcerers, and healers—a standard squad composition.
"Can they do it? The other side might really be Ultraman—" The shield soldier looked at the three below and couldn't help but swallow.
He had little confidence in this mission, especially after learning that the other party had summoned an Ultraman. He lost all desire to fight and wanted to use the settlement item to return to the cycle of reincarnation.
"Plop—"
The mage, sorcerer, and healer behind him swallowed hard.
All three of them were women, and they were all trembling slightly at that moment.
"I think these two are not easy to deal with either—" the mage said, "I can sense their power, vast, magnificent, and inexhaustible—"
"I have never seen such a powerful being!"
"I also feel this is not good. Perhaps breaking away now is the best option. The other party might be the group from the chat group. After all, I have never seen Ultraman in the cycle of reincarnation."
The warlock said, "I sense the suppression of my bloodline; in terms of bloodline grade, they far surpass me!"
"But no matter what, if we fail to complete the mission, we will lose everything this time."
The leading warrior sighed, "The Samsara Space is not like those chat groups. If we can't complete it, we'll be annihilated."
"How precious are items that can directly and minimally complete a mission? If we use them up now, what will we do with them later?"
"Let's give it a try. If we can win, then we will. If we can't win—a gentleman can be deceived by reason, and Ultraman is reasonable too."
The warrior exhaled, then looked at the two men standing behind them and said, "Make your move. If your Master still wants our help, then take care of these guys first."
Two servants emerged from the shadows.
One is Rider, whose real name is Medusa. Her nominal Master is Matou Shinji, but her actual magic power supplier and contractor is Matou Sakura.
She's here because the mission of this Reincarnation Squad is to help Shinji Matou win the Holy Grail War!
Therefore, it was Matou Shinji who collaborated with them.
The other one is Lancer, whose real name is Cú Chulainn, also known as Dog, who is secretly summoned by Kirei Kotomine as his supervisor.
As a collaborator of Shinji Matou's wavering, he naturally joined in and sent Lancer to provide support.
"The opponent is very strong, and I have never seen such magical fluctuations before."
Lancer looked down at Zoffy and the First Generation and said, "They didn't hide their intentions at all; they just wanted to take us out in the simplest way possible."
"Looking at it this way, Archer is actually the most normal."
Medusa glanced sideways; she didn't remove her blindfold, but she still exuded a terrifying aura.
"I can't beat them."
Medusa said, "The power within them is light, and I cannot look directly at them."
"Who can beat them? But we still have to go for it, right?"
Lancer looked at the lamppost beside him, where a figure stood silently, watching everyone without a sound.
"Really? Then let's give it a try."
Medusa then vanished in a blur.
Lancer kicked his spear and then hurled it downwards.
Meanwhile, the members of the Reincarnation Squad also sprang into action.
"Here they come." Red A projected a bow and arrow, ready to make his move, when he saw Zoffy take a step forward.
"We, the Clan of Light, are not warlike, nor do we indiscriminately kill the innocent. But if the other side strikes first, then there's nothing to hesitate about."
"Besides, I saw some of the filth on some of the guys."
"So, there's nothing to hesitate about!"
"Wow!"
A unique sound rang out, and the next second, a bright light illuminated the night sky!
"Partners of justice—what a heavy word."
After listening to Lin Lu's story, the first generation's mood became somewhat heavy.
He never imagined that there was such a heavy story behind it, which made him think deeply.
If one is to live as a partner of justice, then how should one act when faced with choices?
Should one choose family ties or their inner beliefs?
Is it a choice between responsibility and self-interest?
The first generation was somewhat bewildered, unsure of how to make a decision.
"It's normal to feel lost. You're still young and haven't experienced much. You can slowly find the answers in your heart later."
Lin Lu patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you have any doubts, go and take a look. Zoffy and the others should be done. Now it's up to humanity to decide. Let's be spectators and witness humanity's own choices."
"Um."
The first generation nodded and said nothing more.
"Rin Tohsaka, the rest is up to you. How you want to change things is your business. We, the Clan of Light, will only intervene when humanity encounters problems that we cannot solve at this stage."
Lin Lu said, "Light can only wait for humanity to make a choice."
After Lin Lu finished speaking, he turned off the projection and lent his power to Rin Tohsaka.
The first generation, however, concealed its form and existed entirely as a spectator.
Meanwhile, the battle on Zoffy's side also came to an end.
He looked at the dead reincarnators without much emotional fluctuation.
"Why, why won't you accept our surrender?"
The warrior lay on the ground, convulsing, staring in disbelief at the giant of light before him.
Zoffy looked at them, without the contempt of a higher life form or the disdain of the strong for the weak, and simply said calmly, "You carry sin and filth within you. Ask your heart, are you truly a good person?"
"Moreover, you guys were the ones who struck first from beginning to end."
