Chapter 92: The Magnificent Beheader!
"Do not strike anymore! I beseech you, cease this assault!" Sensing the repeated brutal blows upon her posterior, Gudako felt utterly debilitated. Who could endure such agony?
Although Bai Song merely brandished the teaching whip in a frenzy of attacks, Gudako could swear that this pain was far from ordinary, not the sensation one would typically experience from a common whip.
If one were to inquire as to the reason, it was because she had personally experienced it before.
In a past Singularity she had encountered, there was a similar ordeal she endured.
If her memory served her correctly, she had encountered a demon beast resembling an eye monster. At the time, she had contemplated the materials that could be obtained from this creature. However, the beast, without any sense of fair play, had seized the opportunity and mercilessly assaulted her with two forceful strikes.
One could only describe that sensation as excruciating. At least, that was how Gudako had felt in that moment.
Yet, being pinned to the ground and savagely beaten by Bai Song was an entirely different kind of torment from her previous experience.
In terms of sensory perception, if being struck by the demon beast's forceful blows was merely painful, then Bai Song's assault was unquestionably agonizing to the point where she questioned the meaning of life itself.
"Smack!" Listening to Gudako's anguished cries, Bai Song not only showed no trace of mercy but even found some amusement in it.
The intensity of his attacks continued to escalate, and he was determined to deliver a decisive blow to Gudako.
Bai Song's mood was now soaring, akin to the delightful sensation of donning a brand-new pair of undergarments on the first morning of the New Year. For Bai Song, there was nothing more satisfying than achieving successful retribution. If anything could surpass that, it would be exacting vengeance twice.
Indeed, like Tom, he possessed an exceptionally strong sense of vengeance!
"Ah, the pain, the pain! Cease this onslaught, I implore you, please stop!" Enduring that excruciating pain beyond all limits, Gudako struggled while shedding tears. However, no matter how she writhed, it was impossible for her to break free from the grip of a Servant.
Gudako deeply regretted her current predicament. If only she had known it would lead to this outcome, she should have utilized Command Seals from the very beginning to empower Chen Gong with magical energy. Would it not have been splendid to launch a dazzling spectacle right from the start?
Not only could she unleash a powerful attack, but she could also sacrifice the bothersome and undying Merlin.
In doing so, all she would need to do is sell off Mashu, enabling her to activate the despicable Alter Ego form and swiftly annihilate both "Schrödinger" and his multitude of beast underlings.
Admittedly, this course of action would cause a minuscule... relatively insignificant impact on this world compared to a world engulfed in complete conflagration, but that is of no consequence!
What matters is that by doing so, she would be able to defeat "Schrödinger"!
"I-it hurts!!" Enduring the lashes of the whip, Gudako desperately pleaded, "Have mercy on me! I won't dare to provoke you again~!"
"What? There's a next time?" Upon hearing Gudako's words, Bai Song immediately intensified his attacks.
"Smack!"
"It hurts!!"

On the opposite bank of the river, while Bai Song was punishing Gudako with the teaching whip, Soji, who had been desperately trying to organize the beheading of Saber, had finally reached her limit. She no longer had the strength to stop Saber from carrying out the execution.
"Swoosh!" Seizing a moment when Soji was weakened, Saber exploited the opening and flung her aside.
"here I come!!" In that instant of being thrown off, a powerful gust of air erupted around Saber, accompanied by a faint blue radiance.
After the flash of light, Saber was adorned in a set of armor.
Subsequently, Saber swung her right hand, and an invisible sword materialized in her grasp. With that, she was prepared for battle.
Seeing that Saber was ready, Soji immediately grew anxious and hastily tried to dissuade her. "No, please, listen to me! You mustn't go!"
"Impossible! That dog damaged my shield, and that Merlin dog dared to use the Holy Sword as a mere toy. I must seek retribution!"
With those words spoken, wasting no more time, Saber leaped into the air, traversing dozens of meters to land firmly on the surface of the nearby river, stepping on the water as she sprinted toward the opposite bank.
"We're doomed..." Upon witnessing Saber's charge, Soji forced a grim smile.
During the daytime, she had personally experienced the sensation of battling Tom, and there were only two words to describe it—utterly eerie.
In all her years of existence, she had never encountered such a terrifying enemy.
Unable to win in combat, she had resorted to using her Noble Phantasm to escape. However, that cat had effortlessly caught up to her, riding on a broom she had no idea where it came from, and nearly split open her skull with a single strike.
In the face of such a formidable adversary, she couldn't even muster the will to fight.
Watching Saber retreat into the distance, Soji suddenly became nervous. If Saber proceeded with the beheading, she would undoubtedly have no chance of escape.
Perhaps... it was better to strike first?
As long as she eliminated the one asking the questions, wouldn't the problem be solved?
If I were to take care of Saber right here, then I wouldn't have to worry about Saber exposing me anymore!
With that thought in mind, Soji glanced at the katana in her hand, its blade emanating a deep blue glow, and then looked at Saber's exposed nape as she dashed toward the opposite bank of the river. She couldn't help but swallow nervously.
"Should I make a move..."
After much hesitation, Soji ultimately shook her head. It's better to forget about it, after all.
"No... I don't think I can instantly kill a Saber-class Servant."
If she couldn't instantly take down Saber and ended up engaging in a prolonged battle in the center of the river, wouldn't she just be playing into that cat's hands? It would be as if she were dying too slowly for her liking.
After pondering for a while, Soji finally made the most practical choice, the choice she should have made from the very beginning.
"Noble Phantasm release!" Soji stood up, took a deep breath, and a faint blue magical energy once again enveloped her body, converging towards the rocket thrusters on her back.
As the final trace of magical energy entered the rocket thrusters, Soji decisively turned around and launched a charge in the opposite direction.
In the Holy Grail War, for the same purpose, she had used her Noble Phantasm for the second time!
The rocket thrusters erupted with intense flames, propelling Soji forward with a serious expression on her face. She reached astonishing speeds and, after three additional accelerations, achieved her maximum velocity!
Simultaneously, Soji called out the true name of her Noble Phantasm.
"Jet, Three-Stage Thrust!!!"
