There is a reason why Shinji despises Yahad.
Let’s take a look at Yahad’s actions in previous Holy Grail Wars.
The First Holy Grail War.
Yahad: Very good, the idea of the ritual was successful. Let's kill all those who are in the way and obtain the Holy Grail to save all mankind.
Result: Due to the rules, the Masters' awareness as participants was weak. In addition, without the restraint of the Command Spell, the Servants did not obey orders, and in the end, even the conditions for the Holy Grail's descent were not met and it ended.
The Second Holy Grail War.
Yahad: Very good, the rules have been set, and we also have the Command Spells that have absolute coercive power over the Servants. There will definitely be no problem this time!
Result: Failed for various reasons.
The Third Holy Grail War.
Yahad: I have prepared an additional job, Avenger. The incarnation of evil in this world, the invincible Angra Mainyu, will definitely succeed this time, absolutely.
Result: Although Angra Mainyu sounds strong, he is actually very weak. He was defeated by the then head of the Edelfeldt family with Saber, and the Holy Grail was contaminated.
The Fourth Holy Grail War.
Yahad: There won't be any problem this time. The strongest class Saber, the most famous king in the world, King Arthur! We also hired the famous magician killer. There is no blind spot in the battle between servants and masters. We will win this battle!
Result: Kiritsugu discovered that the Holy Grail was contaminated, and Artoria tried to destroy the Holy Grail with the Holy Sword, but failed.
The fifth time, which is the current Holy Grail War.
Yahad: Emiya Kiritsugu, this hateful traitor, I will never trust outsiders again. I will create my own combat androids, and they will not betray me.
To ensure victory, I need a hero even stronger than King Arthur: you, Hercules.
Hehe, from so many failed experiences I have learned one thing, the servant's consciousness is a hindrance, it must be erased and turned into a loyal combat weapon.
Hercules in the Berserker class is the perfect embodiment of this concept. No one can stop me this time, and no one can stop Einzbern's long-cherished wish!!!
In this regard, Shinji only wants to say four words - MDZZ.
I have seen stupid people, but I have never seen anyone as stupid as you. If a novice Master who knows nothing about the Holy Grail War and barges in ignorantly does any of the above actions, it is not surprising.
But the problem is that Yahad is not a novice, but a veteran who has experienced five Holy Grail Wars. Although he did not directly participate in the war, he also paid close attention. It would be fine if he made a mistake once, but he made mistakes again and again, and each time he made mistakes was stupider than the last. Especially this time, the cards he prepared were simply gorgeous.
You don't need many combat androids with Servant-level qualities; just a few are enough to make a first-rate magus suffer or even die on the spot.
The summoned Heroic Spirit Hercules is the strongest character in human history, comparable to the Hero King Gilgamesh, and unlike Gilgamesh, he has no obvious weaknesses. He is a disciple of Chiron and is proficient in all kinds of martial arts. He can fight gods in close combat and can also use a bow and arrow to accurately kill targets from 20 kilometers away. Like Okita Souji and Sasaki Kojiro, he has the trick "School·Shooting Hundred Heads" that elevates his skills to the realm of a Noble Phantasm. And unlike Souji and Kojiro, who are limited to sword skills, Hercules' trick can be used on any weapon.
The effect of the Twelve Trials (God Hand), a treasure that was sublimated from the twelve trials he experienced in his lifetime, is so strong that it makes people despair. It is a super bug with a writing level of B and an actual level of EX.
First of all, this is a super armor comparable to Siegfried's "Dragon Blood Armor". Except for a few special attacks that can bypass the judgment, if the attack level released does not reach A, it is impossible to cause damage to Hercules' body.
Secondly, this treasure also has the effect of resurrection after death. As the name means twelve, the treasure is equal to twelve lives. If you don't kill Hercules twelve times, you can't really kill him. And these twelve times must be used up in a short period of time. Once he is given enough time, the number of resurrections that have been used up will slowly recover.
That's not all. What's even more outrageous is that the "Twelve Trials" can also add damage resistance to attacks that have already been sustained once. As long as you have sustained an attack once, no matter how powerful or strange it is, Hercules will greatly increase his resistance to the attack after he is resurrected.
To put it simply, it means twelve lives + high resistance and high defense, which is roughly equivalent to immortality.
With his almost invincible immortal body and super martial arts that have reached the realm of treasure, it is no wonder that even the three main gods of Olympus cannot defeat him. In the case of an immortal battle, almost no one can kill Hercules. At most, he can just run away, play kite, accumulate resistance, and wait for the number of resurrections to recover.
However, due to Yahad's stupid operation, Hercules lost his mind and could not use his shocking martial arts or the legendary skill "School·Shooting Hundred Heads", let alone the classic guerrilla tactics of "Hit&Run". He fought only by instinct and body, so what could he do even if his defense was high and he resurrected many times? As long as he was not absolutely invincible, there were ways to kill him.
Before Shinji traveled through time, netizens had researched countless ways to beat Hercules. The mighty Hercules was eventually reduced to a "sea stake" and his reputation was ruined because of Ahad's stupid operation. Shinji was also one of the adults who studied fancy ways to beat stakes. He had already thought of a strategy to deal with Hercules. His contempt was based on absolute self-confidence. If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have let Medusa go.
Shinji saw the opportunity and began to give orders.
"Sakura, take Irisviel and Illya... and those two vampires over there, move away."
Even if he has lost his mind, Hercules is still a top-level Servant. Killing him will require a lot of noise, and sufficient depth and space are required.
"Saber, stand back, let the master take over! She has a natural advantage against divine enemies—"
This is the first level of targeting. Hercules is the son of Zeus, and his divinity level is higher than Iskandar, reaching A-level, comparable to Karna. Scathach happens to have a skill specifically targeting gods - "Deicide", which has a similar effect to Siegfried's "Dragon Slayer", greatly increasing the attack power against gods and enemies with divinity.
If she had been the one to strike with Altria's sword, Hercules might have lost his life.
"—Go look around and see if you can find the Berserker's Master. If you find him, bring him here."
The second level of targeting is, of course, a strategy that targets all servants. Servants depend on their masters for existence, and if their masters are gone, even if the servants have great abilities, they cannot use them.
Berserker is the most difficult to control and consumes the most mana, and Hercules's powerful strength will further increase this consumption. In addition, the risk of losing control brought by the "Frenzy" skill - the current Master of Einzbern will never be too far away from the battlefield, because if he is too far away, he will really be unable to control the violent giant.
Artoria knew what Shinji was thinking, so she left through the gap in the wall without saying anything. It was this action that made Shinji realize the damage Hercules' night raid had done to the Emiya family. Half of the quaint Japanese garden had been destroyed in the battle, and the other half was also in danger. With the entry of Scathach, Hercules, who felt threatened by his "natural enemy", became even crazier, and his desire to destroy became stronger and stronger.
Shinji had promised Kiritsugu that he would help look after the house when he was away, but now it had turned out like this, which was why Rin and Gilgamesh heard the complaints.
"Damn it, why are you still smashing things? You can't control yourself and go berserk, Einzbern, these idiots, ahh, how am I going to explain to Kiritsugu that my family has been destroyed!"
