The Dark Way of the Egoist: A Serial

Chapter 132: Dak is about to complete his growth (the protagonist seems to be only seven years old now?)

"..." Emiya Kiritsugu remained silent. This reason could indeed explain why he knew the secret.

The ability to dodge bullets at close range also lends some truth to the previous statement.

"I'll trust you for now." After a brief silence, Emiya Kiritsugu said.

The physical fitness required to dodge bullets at close range means that at this distance, your life is almost in the hands of the opponent.

The fact that the other party did not kill you represents sincerity.

Kiritsugu did not want to use up the Command Seals to summon Siegfried.

As for the inherent time control, the load was too great and it could not be maintained for long. Moreover, considering the lead-up to the release of the Command Spell, it might not be in time.

"Then, as a token of sincerity of the alliance, I will give you the Command Seal." Amakusa Shiro rolled up his sleeves, revealing the stigmata he had taken from Kotomine Risei.

He did a lot of research on Emiya Kiritsugu.

That's why I trust you so much.

If I die, then this man will also move towards his ideal, right?
“The remaining Command Seals from past Holy Grail Wars?” Although he had a doubtful attitude, Kiritsugu had no intention of refusing.

Transferring the Command Spell is quite simple.

Amakusa Shiro directly gave Emiya Kiritsugu three Command Seals.

So Kiritsugu now has three Command Seals in each of his left and right hands.

Emiya Kiritsugu moved his arms and felt it, and sure enough, the Command Spell was real.

“If you consume it, you can ask me for more.

But be careful not to let other Masters find out." Amakusa Shiro said. It is impossible to give all of them to Emiya Kiritsugu. After all, even if the Command Seals are not used to give orders to Heroic Spirits, they can still be used as a source of mana.

If he wants to unleash his full power now, he still needs the Command Spell as an energy source.

"One last question. Why do you trust me so much?" Emiya Kiritsugu was silent for a moment, then asked.

You know, his reputation is not that good. He is a hyena on the battlefield and a lowly magician killer.

It is actually quite rare for outsiders to trust you like this.

“Why would a heroic spirit respond to a summon?

I think you should be very clear about this, Emiya Kiritsugu.

The Heroic Spirits who respond to the call of the Holy Grail War all have their own wishes.

Knowing my real name, you should be able to guess my wish.

Be it good or evil, it doesn't matter what people think.

All I ask for is the salvation of all mankind.

I cannot achieve this goal by myself, so I need the Holy Grail.

And you, Emiya Kiritsugu, have the same ideals as me.

I had already failed once before, and now I was effectively out.

So... although it may be irresponsible to say this, I want to see the choices of other fellow travelers." Amakusa Shiro's appearance did not reveal his mood, and his tone was dull.

Although his ideals remained firm, he was eliminated from two consecutive battles, which led him to begin to doubt his own abilities.

Maybe one's own abilities do not match one's ideals?

The road to your ideal is so difficult...

Good people are not necessarily lucky, and correct orders are not always executed. The world is just a makeshift team that gets by, not a sophisticated structure that can correct itself for the better.

"I see." Emiya Kiritsugu made the decision to trust this man for the time being.

After all, the Command Seal in his hand is real.

The other party did not even ask me to sign a self-compulsory certificate.

"Then let's discuss the tactics we will use in this Holy Grail War.

Whether it is the King of Heroes, the King of Conquerors, or Karna, the Son of God, they are all exceptionally powerful Heroic Spirits."

Since Dak is still lurking, he has not attracted any attention yet.

This is the advantage of being an old coin - Dak really has no reason to fight these guys to the death.

...

The specialized root structure spreads along the earth veins, parasitizing the spirit veins to absorb magic. After Saya devoured the son of Fei Hailin, he gained the ability to connect with plants.

The body spreading along the earth veins will connect with the plant roots deep underground along the way, and in turn erode the plants.

Then the plant's extremely broad root system spreads along the direction of the earth's veins.

Saya will be more closely integrated with the ecological environment.

If you observe carefully, you can find that these plants are growing more and more luxuriantly.

At the same time, plants absorb sunlight to carry out photosynthesis and enter a virtuous cycle of growth. The excess vitality is converted and stored in the occupied earth veins.

Using the earth veins as batteries is an integration of the original system, which greatly doubles the efficiency.

Instead of having to refine and transform vitality into magic power as before.

Beings like Saya generally have two directions of development.

The first is to build the subject consciousness and energy cycle into a core. As long as the core is not destroyed, its own state will be constant. The weakness is that if the core is discovered, it will be fatal.

The second is the collective consciousness type, in which every part of the body belongs to oneself. The weakness is that once a large number of body tissues are destroyed, the strength will plummet.

Dak's approach is mainly the second one, but it also combines the first one to highlight that he does not follow the usual path.

After all, Saya's size has expanded to a very large extent, and she will form a new core where she stores magic power.

This core is condensed from a part of the energy and matter in her huge body. It is responsible not only for managing part of Saya's body, but also for processing her thoughts and perceptions.

However, as Saya's size continued to grow, a single core could no longer meet her needs. The delay in information transmission became higher and higher, and Saya's reaction speed became slower and slower.

In order to solve this problem, Saya began to try to make more cores with the help of Dark, and combine a large number of cores to form a thinking network.

Each core of this network is responsible for processing information from a certain area and then passing this information to other cores. In this way, Saya can process information faster, and over time, Saya's mental network becomes more and more complete.

Her core members began to work together to solve complex problems... Now it's better to call them "they" rather than "her".

The Art of Life——The Life Returner has evolved completely.

There are already differences at the individual level, although there is still unity at the macro level, just like a person with multiple personalities.

Therefore, the magic base that Dark envisioned has already been built in this world.

In front of him was a huge virtual projection map of the earth veins, on which were outlined the direction of the spiritual veins and the scope to which Saya expanded with thick or thin lines.

As for the Holy Grail War... Actually, most of Dark's attention is not on this.

Instead of yearning for the supposedly omnipotent holy grail, it is better to do what you can to the limit.

At least Saya's current size can make Dak feel at ease.

The sea demon in the original work is not even one thousandth of Saya's true self.

Although in Saya's form of existence, it is impossible to mobilize her entire body to form an individual.

It now exists as a fully deployed ecological system.

It’s also an interesting idea.

Dak thought it could be used next time.

Has anyone read Mao's book "Crazy Players in Infinity"? Saya's form is what the author mentioned today. This book is also very good, hehehe.
