Shirou Emiya is challenging FGO

Chapter 105 The Emperor Arrives (1! Please give me a monthly ticket! Please subscribe automatically!)
103. Lord of Mankind Vs Queen of the Earth
In the chaos of the battle, one person disappeared without a trace.

That was Othinus, who was being hung up by Athena in a very artistic tortoise shell bondage style not long ago for revenge.

The bound 'Othinus' turned into a Mu-headed doll, and the real Othinus escaped and disappeared, and no one knew where he had gone.

But Ritsuka's attention was no longer on her at this time.

Just before Shirou seemed to have 'returned at the right time', Ritsuka, who was unable to move because Emiya's spiritual base was injected into his body, but the sub-Servant transformation surgery had not been completed yet, finally made up his mind.

She wanted to find Haruka - to make a deal with the little devil.

Although Ritsuka has only been in the mysterious world for a short time, he still has a general impression of various fantasy stories because he has a brother and friend who are fans of the two-dimensional world (creator).

Since there are magic, sorcery, heroic spirits and gods in this world, it is normal that something like the 'devil' really exists, right?

In the legends of the Christian system, the devil is often confused with the demon - to be more precise, the formal separation and distinction between the devil and the demon is actually a concept that was only clarified in modern times.

Seduce people's hearts, make deals with them, and then take away their souls in this way - compared to bloodthirsty demons, demons are often polite, because their purpose is not to kill people, but to tempt people to fall into evil.

Although she is a high school girl in a sports club, Ritsuka has some knowledge of this aspect due to family reasons, so this is probably the impression she has formed in her mind.

If I have to say, Ritsuka has always felt that Haruka looks a bit like a younger version of Sebastian from "Black Butler".

There are seven trading opportunities, and as long as all seven are not used up, everything will not be taken away.

This deal was too friendly.

With so many trading opportunities, it is easy for people to think at the beginning that "there are still many chances anyway" and easily open the door to making a deal with the devil.

And in countless stories, once the beginning begins, everything is irreversible.

However, Ritsuka still made up his mind.

Compared with the devil and the goddess, who is stronger and who is weaker?

Honestly, Ritsuka didn't know. Objectively speaking, she should be a deity, right? But Ritsuka's impression of the name Athena, influenced by "Saint Seiya", always thought of her as a vase that needed to be protected by the Saints.

What primitive return, what the true form of ancient Athena, what the Queen of the Earth - to be honest, Ritsuka didn't quite understand.

But she had no choice.

"Sister, if you don't make a choice now and don't do something, then she really can't do anything later. She can only leave it to fate and watch her senior (Shirou) fight a life-and-death battle."

The little devil's voice whispered in Ritsuka's ear as if carrying some kind of seductive charm.

In Ritsuka's perspective, everything in the world turned gray, everything was still. The little devil suddenly appeared like a lingering ghost, and there seemed to be fire flowing in his golden eyes, reflecting Ritsuka's figure.

Has time stopped? Ritsuka thought subconsciously.

Haruka looked at her with a smile: "Even if Senpai can win by some miracle, what price will he have to pay for you?"

"What are you planning?" Li Xiang asked her with a frown.

The little devil just shrugged and sat on a stone nearby that had flown over from the aftermath of the previous battle between the giant beasts. His legs in small leather shoes kept shaking in front of Lixiang's eyes: "I've decided to change my strategy, sister. This is called aligning user granularity, grasping user pain points, and going end-to-end directly to form a set of combined punches!"

As he spoke, he waved his little fist.

She clearly looks like a cute little girl, but she keeps spouting philistine and skilled Internet jargon!

"Where did you come back from for further studies?" Ritsuka was stunned. "No! Don't play dumb! I'm asking what your purpose is. I used to think you were just schizophrenic or had a second personality and hallucinations. But now I know there are magicians and goddesses in this world, so I accept the fact that there are devils like you."

"Devil." Haruka did not comment on Ritsuka's name.

Li Xiang continued to ask: "What is your purpose?"

Haruka shrugged, "I've already told you, sister, your soul, your life, your everything."

"Am I worth this?" Ritsuka was still confused.

"Yes, yes, sister, you are a hot commodity in our hell!" Haruka flattered, "It is a blessing for me to be able to sign your business!"

"What blessing do you want, you devil!?"

Yaoxiang said: "Anyway, sister, your value will be known when our deal is completed. Now compared to those——"

The most important thing now is——

"You'll have many more chances later, right? Sister, this is just your first time. Why don't you just treat it like a tasting counter in a store and try it first? Sister, you just need to make the first move, and then I can put you on the VIP customer list!"

"What VIP? Is there such a thing in hell?" Ritsuka felt powerless to complain.

Haruka was still nodding like a chick pecking at rice. She looked like a little girl version of Sebastian, and she was mysterious when they first met many years ago. But how could she become so...
Ritsuka was speechless as he looked at Haruka who was winking at him in a flattering manner.

"Is this the character you were designed to be?"

Haruka shrugged and began to take off her small leather shoes, then took off the black garter stockings inside, revealing her smooth little feet, and continued to sway in front of Ritsuka: "This is called keeping up with the times, dear - over the past few years, I have been following you like a guardian spirit every moment, seeing what you see and thinking what you think.

You fell asleep several times when you were helping Sister Orita and Brother with the books for the comic convention, and I had to get up to help you!
If you don't like the traditional name of 'devil', you can call me 'system' which is more modern and trendy. "

"You're talking as if my experiences over the years have influenced you."

"Because I am you and you are me, sister. We are the eternally lonely twins on the throne. We only have each other because I am the other half of you!"

“Don’t suddenly say this kind of chuunibun in a joking tone! What if I misunderstood?! You make it sound like you’re my guardian spirit or something. Can I put on a mask and yell “Persona!” one day and let you fight as my stand?” (Note: ‘I am you and you are me’ is a famous line from the Persona series. Ritsuka is talking about the game settings in it)
"Look," Haruka spread her hands, raised her thighs, and pointed at Ritsuka with her toes: "Isn't the person who influenced my personality here?"

Li Xiang looked at the toes of the little devil in front of him speechlessly.

Seeing that Haruka was practicing Tai Chi and talking about this and that but refusing to reveal her secret, Ritsuka was at a loss.

After all, there are important things to do right now.

Then, there is only one question left -

"Can we win?" Li Xiang asked in a deep voice
Haruka tilted her head, "Well, I can't win."

"Ah?" Li Xiang was dumbfounded. "No! Sister - oh no, sister! Sister! I call you sister! Is this the right time to say such things? According to the atmosphere, you should make a deal with me generously, and then pat my shoulder generously and say "Isn't she just a god? Look, I will help you kill her!" Aren't you my cheat code?"

Ritsuka couldn't understand: "Didn't you pause time now? You can pause time, which is usually only the final boss has the ability, why can't you win?"

"Because gods are beings that have the ability to transcend the timeline. High-level divinities have resistance to this. Ordinary time-stopping techniques are meaningless to gods. It is better to speed them up. For example, I am speeding up your thinking speed and your personal time so that I can have a conversation with you like this."

Haruka spread her hands towards Ritsuka and said, "Sister, you've read too many weird novels and comics. Reality is very cruel."

"What does this have to do with whether reality is cruel or not?"

"Sis, you haven't traded enough times, so your VIP level isn't high enough. If this is your first trade, and you're against Athena, who's driving the Typhon, the best service I can provide you is to be able to run away alone.
The second time, I can make sure you can barely defend yourself in the fight with her.

If I do it the third time, I can win, but I can't guarantee the safety of others -

But the fourth time is different! The progress bar is halfway through, and starting from the fourth time, your VIP service will be upgraded! From the original ordinary VIP to gold VIP!

Isn't it Athena? In front of our gold VIP, sister, you can warm up a glass of wine before you start fighting. I will bring my Azure Dragon Crescent Blade to you! One strike! Two strikes! Taking her head is like putting it on a stake and selling it! The wine won't even get cold when you come back!"

The little devil was so excited when he said this.

Li Xiang just wanted to complain: "Isn't your hellish devil trading system a bit too modern?"

"This is called keeping up with the times. How can I deceive you if I don't do this? Anyway, no matter what, when it comes to this step, you will definitely take action, right?"

"." Ritsuka was silent for a moment, then sighed, "So what should I do? Use up four transactions in one go?"

"That's not the case. After all, I'm not a devil. I will give you the 'power of the first transaction' and help you adjust the time flow connection point between the Mictelan Underworld and the singularity here to ensure that Senior (Shirou) can arrive in time.

But the same thing"

Haruka looked at Ritsuka and pointed in the direction of Athena and the God Mechanical Typhon:
"That guy is too powerful for this adventure. You can't beat him even if I use normal tricks."

"What about Senior (Shirou)?" Ritsuka asked, lowering his head.

The little devil answered without hesitation: "I don't know, sister, the story you are experiencing now is completely different from the future I saw. I don't know if the senior (Shirou) can win."

".I hope he wins."

"I see. Since you want to, I also hope she can win."

The little devil said casually, then snapped his fingers: "The.gathering."

"?What?"

"This is a cheat code in StarCraft. The effect is 'unlimited energy'. With this support, you can give full play to your current abilities. Don't worry, didn't Senior (Shirou) pass on some of his combat experience to you? Just rely on that feeling, I will assist you--

Of course, if you still can’t beat me, then come back to me.”

The words have not yet fallen.

Haruka's figure disappeared in an instant, and Ritsuka only felt a warm current pumping out from his heart and spread throughout his body in an instant!
Ritsuka's appearance hadn't changed noticeably, except that his hair had grown longer and changed in color from the same color as Shirou to a pale white.

After being integrated into the body, the female archer's spirit base, which seemed to be 'stuck in the body' because the sub-servant transformation operation had not been completed, was successfully connected like the most perfect mortise and tenon structure.

However, perhaps because the female archer 'Emiya Shiori' herself did not have a high level of magic skill, the petrifying magic eye effect released by Athena also showed signs of taking effect on Ritsuka.

--but

Ritsuka, like the other girls, wasn't really completely petrified.

"--open!"

Because, the roar of thunder, like the cry of millions of birds, tore apart the dark clouds in the sky!

The real decisive battle has begun!

Like his other companions, Ritsuka once again obtained the 'Boy's Protection', and the influence of the petrification effect was lifted.

Ritsuka was actually a little relieved at this moment: Fortunately, in this team, for some reason, just like in some serialized light novel, all of them are women except Shirou - if the gender is wrong, Shirou's ability might not be so useful, right?
While Shirou was performing the 'Boy's Protection.jpg', he also informed everyone present of his 'battle plan'.

The strength of the enemy before them was beyond common sense. When Typhon was carried out, she was no longer someone who could be defeated by ordinary means.

Even if Shirou forcibly summoned more 'Power of Erlang Shen' that was powerful enough to match it, Shirou's current body would definitely not be able to withstand it.

Even if it means self-destruction, it is only possible to perish together with it.

But this does not mean that there is a problem with Erlang Shen’s power, nor does it mean that Erlang Shen’s power is insufficient.

It's just very simple. Shirou can't bear it right now.

So - Shirou got inspiration from the 'Typhon' in front of him.

Athena herself is definitely of the main god level, and even reached the "great god" level of strength at her peak.

However, due to the limitations of the spiritual base in the current world, Athena's original limit was to upgrade herself to the level of a general combat god. However, she cleverly changed her mind and summoned an empty shell with a spiritual base of the main god scale - and then got on it herself as a pilot.

Although it took a long detour, in the end, we gained combat power almost as strong as that of the Lord God himself!
Why did Athena go around in such a big circle?

Why can't Shirou Chaldea find a way to directly summon its own gods to fight?

There is actually a blind spot in thinking here.

Although the survivors habitually call the "Humanity Incineration" a "Humanity Crisis", the Humanity Incineration is not actually a humanity crisis, but a crisis for the current human survival.

At its core, the essence of the burning of human principles is actually a "civil war among human principles."

The Demon King did not really destroy human order, he just overturned the 'existing human order'.

Human principles are like a blank test paper, which records the history of human civilization so far. The Demon King is not satisfied with the answers he has written on it, so he decides to erase all the original contents, and then rewrite what he wants to write - this is the nature of the burning of human principles.

Human logic itself does not have a clear concept of right or wrong. It will not have any opinion on whether mankind prospers or self-destructs, because it is just a record, a test paper without standard answers. The ones who have opinions are actually the living people in it, those who have the ability to change the answers above.

Because of this, although the burning of human principles leads to confusion of cause and effect, the root of human principles itself is not destroyed.

The battle against the mastermind behind the Burning of Humanity is not a battle to protect humanity, but a battle to reclaim the original past, present, and future of humanity.

The foundation of human principles still exists. Even if human principles are in chaos, it is only one aspect of the era of human principles. It does not mean that the era of gods has returned.

Therefore, no matter whether it is a hostile god or a friendly god, they cannot intervene directly, and can only find ways to descend indirectly, such as through the Heroic Spirit Servant Summoning System, and only use a part of their own power to transform into a servant and descend.

Whether it is Athena's "God's Machine" or the "Divine Mask" in Shirou's hand, they are essentially the same, based on the logic of "limited summoning".

Athena is taking the 'technological' route. Although it is impossible to achieve the result of the real body descending, it can be infinitely close.

Shirou took the 'mysterious flow' route, through traditional rituals of summoning gods. Theoretically, as long as Shirou had the strength or physique to rival Erlang Shen's true form, he could definitely make Erlang Shen's divine power descend.

Let’s not discuss which of the two routes is better.

But in Shirou's opinion, both routes - at least for himself - can be chosen!

The opponent who goes for technology has the infinite magic power of the Holy Grail.

Those of us who follow the mysterious route also have nuclear power plants to supply magic!

To fight against the enemy's divine machine——

Then, let's create our own divine machine!
Shirou's body cannot bear the power of Erlang Shen, who is at the main god level, so let the divine machine take over!

Just like Athena, we just need to copy Athena's 'homework' - we can also act as 'pilots' to manipulate the power of God!
In this case, the only problem left is how to create our own "God's Machine"!

Fortunately, Shirou doesn't need to actually rub himself to become a robot sage.

Just continue copying Athena's homework. Athena didn't really make it all by hand, but she made a rough outline of the mecha-god, and then used summoning magic to summon Typhon's spirit base as the material to construct the divine machine.

Shirou can also continue this line of thought.

Through Shirou's projection magic, he analyzed the Typhon in front of him as the prototype, and then created a rough "mold". Then, through the Servant Summoning System mechanism of Heroes' Throne, he summoned Erlang Shen or spiritual bases related to Erlang Shen - or related to Athena and Typhon, and injected them into it, finally making the divine machine take shape.

Then, Shirou can get on it again and use the 'Divine Mask - Jiro Shen' to inject the power of Jiro Shen into his own divine machine!
If the one summoned is Erlang Shen, then that would be great. The compatibility between 'Divine Machine Erlang Shen' and 'Power of Erlang Shen' is undoubtedly the best!

If the one summoned is not Erlang Shen, that doesn’t matter, Erlang Shen’s power itself can also serve as a powerful super engine!
In this way, the balance of victory and defeat will be rebalanced. No! It will lean towards Shirou again!
Shirou used his clairvoyance to observe and analyze the structure of the prehistoric area in front of him, and relying on the magic power supply of Chaldea's nuclear power plant - and the magic power transmission of Akagi Hinako, who was an immortal 'super-large water pipe', he began to print (project) on the spot!

Compared to Athena, Shirou has an advantage.

There is no need to worry too much about the strength of the machine. There is no need to consider long-term combat like Athena, and consider future growth and the battle with the mastermind behind the burning of human reason - just win now! It doesn't matter even if you can only fight once!
Let the Steel Soul burn!

In this way, the printing time can be reduced to a great extent!
After all, if I do this, Athena will definitely not just sit there and watch.

Why?

Can't I use words to communicate and say to Athena, "Just wait until I create my Mecha God, and then we can have a real manly duel!"?

It is theoretically possible, but not practically, and Athena would never accept it. Because when Shirou was making his own God Machine, when he initiated the summoning, it was natural that a chain summoning mechanism at the level of fate would appear.

It's like if the enemy is the legendary evil dragon, then when you use the Heroic Spirit Summoning Technique, there is a high probability that you will summon the legendary dragon slayer.

If the enemy is Athena who has returned to her original form, and Typhon who is the "antagonist of Zeus", it goes without saying who Shirou will be most likely to be linked to, right?

That's right!

That's Zeus!
In fact, it may also be linked to Michael, St. George, or Jehovah.

Although it goes against common sense, the God in the Christian story is a super patchwork. One of its important prototypes is Zeus. The prototype of the relationship between God and Satan is actually "Zeus and Typhon".

However, with the evolution of Christianity, the person who defeated Satan in Christian stories gradually changed from God (Zeus) to the saint hero Georgios (Saint George).

The image of Georgios slaying the dragon was eventually transformed into "Seraphim Michael" after artistic processing.

No matter which one it is, it can be related to Zeus.

Athena would definitely have PTSD because of this. Even if Shirou were to drive the 'God's Machine related to Zeus' to fight, she would definitely not accept it.

not to mention.

"Start manufacturing your divine machine on the spot - but! My rebellious son! The moment you return on the stage, the decisive battle will have already begun!" Athena saw through at a glance that Shirou might want to summon the divine machine Zeus, and then inject the power of Erlang Shen into it, so that the two powerful forces could join forces and combine into a super robot. Naturally, the annoyed Athena would not give up!

Shirou just continued to speak frankly: "I don't remember when I became your child. Speaking of which, since you are a virgin goddess, don't always talk about taking others as your children.
Don’t you think it’s weird?

Especially since you were born from Greek mythology, it is common to attack children in the Greek department. You keep talking about this, and it is easy for people to misunderstand that you are hinting at O. I still suggest that you go see a doctor when you have time.”

This wasn't Shirou being deliberately venomous.

Even Shirou really meant well in what he said.

Shirou is not a supporter of the 'Athena conspiracy theory'.

In other words: "I think Athena should be a partner of justice. You are just crazy now. If you are sick, you should be treated."

Athena: "Damn Smoking Mirror, what have you taught my child to be?!!!"

although
The smoke mirror didn't actually distort Shirou's character. It just made an agreement with Shirou that he wouldn't always keep some thoughts to himself.

Shirou is the kind of person who looks honest on the face, but is surprisingly sharp-tongued. However, Shirou is not really sharp-tongued. He just tends to point out the other person's problems unconsciously and directly.

Anyone who feels seriously offended by his venomous tongue must be someone with serious mental defects!

Shirou: "If I must say, I don't have a particularly clear concept of the 'biological mother' I'm talking about. Miss Maiya or Wuzhiqi are too far away for me. If you really want to be my mother, I won't hate you for it - but!
An adult like you is definitely wrong! I want to correct you! "

Athena: “!!!”

"Ah!" Caster was stunned. "Although I have already noticed that you have this kind of personality, I didn't expect that after you went to the underworld, you would no longer keep it in your heart but speak it out directly?"

Li Xiang couldn't help but exclaim: "Senior, are you some kind of genius who can lie on thunder?"

Only Akagi Hinako said differently: "That's right! Shirou, you are absolutely right! That's what I originally wanted to say to that guy!"

Illya: "(￣ー￣) Well, I've known that Shirou has this kind of personality for a long time, but I didn't expect that one day he would say it all without restraint. I always feel that sooner or later, my younger brother will be the one to make a sharp comment on the heroes."

Olga Marie murmured quietly, "Isn't it that his words seem harsh, but they are not malicious at all? This is what they mean by 'the truth is the sharpest sword'."

This is the final battle at Singularity F.

The mission objective is very simple!
Everyone! Do your best! Buy time for Shirou to print our God Machine!
Shirou himself cannot devote himself to "printing" and must participate in the battle to delay time to a limited extent. Otherwise, his existing combat power will not be able to hold back the god-level Athena Typhon who is firing on all cylinders!
Shirou didn't know where Othinus was hiding, but since she was acting alone, she must have her own ideas.

As for Ritsuka - through the narration Shirou knew that Ritsuka seemed to have done something that allowed him to arrive just in time, but it was too late to ask now, so let's talk about it after the war!

Go together!

"The key is to be careful not to be bitten by Typhon's 'Spirit Snakes'. Even if Shirou can cut them off, once bitten, your abilities will be sealed by them!"

Illya warned everyone.

Then--

"and many more!"

Ritsuka suddenly stopped Shirou and the others:

"I'm sorry, I'll explain it to you later - but wait for now! I may have a solution!"

After all, it was a deal where one seventh of one's soul was given!
The little devil did not give up completely just because the enemy was too unconventional, but instead did his job conscientiously and provided help to Lixiang within the scope of services that could be provided in the first exchange.

The Chaldea base has been blown up. The warehouse that was originally used to store the holy relics prepared by the capable Master candidates has been destroyed!
This place, which has been taken good care of and has become a ruin, has a dazzling light coming from under the ruins - a certain holy relic turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the control room. It actually fell from the sky in the form of light and landed accurately in Ritsuka's hands!

The little devil Haruka told Ritsuka: "This is the holy relic that Director Chaldea originally intended to use to summon the Holy Knight Galahad in the sub-servant experiment - that is, the 'Round Table' of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table.

The Round Table is a place where heroes gather, a symbol of the fortress of the Knights of the Round Table, and can also be used as a 'shield'!"

"Sister, the spiritual base you have merged with now contains Morgan's factor, and in different versions of the legend, Morgan also has records of being a member of the Knights of the Round Table - so, you can also use this now!"

After the round table fell into Ritsuka's hands, it turned into a huge cross shield!
"This Round Table Shield has the effect of converting emotions such as 'faith and awareness of protection' into 'defensive power' - how to do it, I don't need to explain it, right?"

It's really simple.

Facing the Athena Typhon who was firing at full power, Ritsuka injected all his strength - including faith and other things - into the shield of the round table!

A huge magical barrier then appeared, protecting Shirou behind it!

"Everyone! Let's use this together!" Ritsuka called out to his companions, "Senior! We will protect you this time! You just need to devote yourself to the task of forging the Mecha God!"

The girls knew the effect of the shield as soon as they came into contact with it.

although
Since Galahad does not exist here, Galahad's ultimate protective treasure cannot be deployed in conjunction with the shield, but the most basic effect itself does exist.

Use the 'faith' of protecting someone as a shield.

When using the effect of the Round Table Shield for defense, it is no longer a simple confrontation between strength and hardness.

Rather, it is the enemy's firepower and hostility that directly attacks the 'belief' of the person holding the shield - in other words, a direct attack on the 'will'!
Speaking of "protection" alone, the effect of this Round Table Shield can even bridge the gap between mortals and the main gods!

Shirou: ".Okay!"

This is the best option.

Shirou didn't say any more nonsense. The sooner he could build his own divine machine, the safer everyone would be!

[Continuous confrontation judgment! ]

[The rules are very simple. Ritsuka, Illya, Olga Marie, Aku Hinako, and Caster use the round table shield brought by Haruka to defend against the full firepower of Athena Typhon]

[Relying on the effect of the Round Table Shield, it is possible to use "will" to cross-level defensive firepower! 】

[Every time Shirou successfully defends, he can make a judgment to "forge his own divine machine". As the number of rounds increases, the degree of completion continues to increase, and the difficulty of the judgment will become lower and lower - until Shirou completes it! ]

【Or the defense collapses! 】

【first!】

[Athena Typhon's 'God-level Full Firepower (Hostility)': 1D1000=22 (Huh?)]

[Girls' 'Round Table Shield (Protective Will)': 1D1000=992 (?)]

What is going on?!

Oh, right!
When the first fire bombardment hit the Round Table Shield, Athena immediately discovered something was wrong and realized that there was a hidden "advantage" in the operating mechanism of the shield!
That is the confrontation mechanism of will.

It is a confrontation between hostility and malice and the protection of belief.

The girls' belief in protection is so strong——

but!

It is true that Athena is manipulating the Typhon mecha at full power.

But she herself did not have any special "hostility" or "malice" towards the girls or Shirou.

Although she had murderous intentions.

But for the god of death, granting death is, in a sense, also a manifestation of love.

Because she had no ill intentions at all, she simply wanted to kill the boys and girls in front of her and take away their souls, turning them into her own children - so Athena actually stumbled upon the mechanism of the Shield of the Round Table!
Caught off guard, her first main gun fire actually triggered the mysterious hidden mechanism of the Round Table Shield - shield counter!
The first attack from Typhon's main gun was actually bounced back!

Caught off guard, Typhon was hit directly by his own attack!

If it weren't for his 'immortality' and the earth-related gods' iconic 'infinite health recovery mechanism', he might have fallen flat on his face!
[Because it was a great success, Shirou will get two chances to 'Summon God's Machine (Forging/Printing)' this turn, and will receive an additional correction]

[Shirou's 'Machine of Calling God'——]

[First time, difficulty: 175]

[Shirou's 'Forging': 1D100=100]

[Correction of seeing joy: 1D100=72]

[Additional correction for a great success (not included in the difficulty): 1D100=38]

[Total: 210]

Exactly!

Including the bonus for this great success, Shirou actually passed it in one go!

The summoning of the divine machine was actually successful!

Is this the so-called power of bond?!
From Athena's perspective, these guys were simply shouting some incomprehensible words like "This is the power of our bond, ah ah ah", inexplicably bounced back one of her main gun attacks, and inexplicably completed the summoning of the divine machine!

not good!

Athena felt extremely annoyed. She could even sense that a familiar breath was about to be summoned.

"Zeus!!!"

Why is it the breath of Zeus?

There are two reasons. One is that there is Typhon, the "anti-Zeus", here.

But under normal circumstances this reason would not be the dominant one. Just like the holy relics summoned by the Heroic Spirit, Shirou's completion of the divine mask of Erlang Shen is equivalent to using the power of Erlang Shen as a catalyst.

In this case, the most likely person to appear is Erlang Shen, not Zeus.

But the fact is that Zeus has the highest probability of appearing.

Everyone knows the problem here, and Shirou was told about it when Cu Chulainn made the mask.

There are many similarities between Erlang Shen and Sun Wukong.

For example, Erlang Shen is also a 'non-existent god'.

Like Sun Wukong, Erlang Shen has multiple prototypes in the story records, and his settings have been changed many times.

The worship of Sun Wukong originated from novels.

Although Erlang Shen did not originate from a novel, there are actually serious problems with it, which means that its origin is actually no different from that of a novel.

Erlang Shen may be called Yang Jian, but he may not be called Yang Jian.

Because the name Yang Jian was originally created in "Investiture of the Gods", which imitated "Journey to the West" after "Journey to the West" became popular, but it only gained widespread recognition later.

Erlang Shen, as the origin of the gods, is the true primitive belief in mountains and rivers in Sichuan. The most important and crucial "miracle" is the "Dujiangyan Irrigation Project".

After the construction of Dujiangyan during the Warring States Period, this great achievement was deified, and the builders Li Bing and his son were worshipped as gods - as time passed, they became the main gods of local worship.

But the problem is that the great Eastern country has had a "pragmatic" belief in mythology since ancient times.

The second son of Li Bing, in the process of being spread, was gradually combined with the original primitive belief of "Erlang Shen".

So, is Li Bing’s second son Erlang Shen himself?
No.

Because after that - before "Investiture of the Gods" came out, before the name Yang Jian came out, "Li Erlang" had already changed his name once.

During the Sui Dynasty, it became 'Yang Erlang'.

Perhaps it was because the religious and folk forces wanted to flatter the Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian at that time, and because Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian's second son Yang Guang was also wise and brave at that time, Erlang Shen became "Yang Erlang".

So, is Erlang Shen’s real name Yang Guang?
Can't say the same.

Because shortly after that, the Sui Dynasty fell into chaos, the Li Tang Dynasty rose, Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor and conquered Sichuan, so Erlang Shen changed his name again to "Li Erlang".

But there’s a problem!
It's not 'change back', it's 'change to'.

In other words, this Erlang Shen did not become the second son of Li Bing, but became the second son of Li Yuan.

After that, the Tang Dynasty was established and Taoism became the state religion.
In short, his identity keeps changing. What is Erlang Shen's real name and what it is has long been a mystery, and the name Yang Jian is more like a modern convention.

Erlang Shen's true identity has become a complete mystery. In other words, the modern stereotype of Yang Jian is more of a fictional character than a mythical figure. The real name of the god has long been lost. (The statement of Li Bing's second son is not completely accurate, because his name has not been accurately passed down, and there are several different versions)
Because of this, the probability of Zeus's divine power appearing is higher.

So--

[The spiritual basis of the 'God's Machine' that Shirou summoned is——]

[1-4, Zeus (I heard Typhon is here?)]

[5/9, Li Shimin (high profile, so the probability is increased, emphasizing the aspect of the "military god")]

[6/7, the main god-level phantom spirit Yang Jian (Yang Jian in the story)]

[8. Li Erlang (son of Li Bing, emphasizing the aspect of "managing the mountains and rivers")]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=9】
