Shirou Emiya is challenging FGO

Chapter 15 The Flower of Evil Omen (Newbies please read it!!!)
15. Ominous Flower

Fuyuki City, the center of pollution purgatory.

Kotomine Kirei found Gilgamesh's torn body.

He might be the first person to discover that there was something wrong with Gilgamesh's 'death' - as a Servant, after being killed, he did not directly turn into spirit particles and dissipate, but actually left a corpse.

Although Gilgamesh had used the black mud to complete his reincarnation not long ago and obtained a new body, if the black mud's body died, would it leave behind a body? Or would it just disappear?

However, Kotomine Kirei does not need to consider too much about this issue.

Golden spatial ripples reappeared, and Gilgamesh's treasure, the Heavenly Chain, emerged from it. The chains reassembled Gilgamesh's shattered body.

Then, Gilgamesh opened his eyes again.

Eyes full of joy.

It is not the inhuman pleasure when some twisted taste is satisfied, but a very simple "joy" like the ordinary people feel when they see the winning numbers after buying a lottery ticket and winning the prize.

but--

Before Kotomine Kirei interrupted to ask, Gilgamesh slightly restrained the "joyful" expression on his face. Although he was still extremely happy, he was able to think calmly.

"Speaking of which," Gilgamesh ignored the presence of Kotomine Kirei beside him and muttered to himself, "Since this 'entertainment' is a digital paradise for children, I will enjoy it in a corresponding manner."

The golden spatial ripples of the King's Treasure reappeared, and without considering the thoughts of Kotomine Kirei next to him, Gilgamesh took out a beautifully decorated bottle from it.

Inside the translucent bottle, some kind of translucent amber liquid was sloshing around.

This is the elixir of rejuvenation.

It contains the conceptual power to distort time. Even the body of a Heroic Servant can be forcibly replaced with the form of Gilgamesh in his childhood.

Drink it all in one gulp.

The laws of time were reversed, and the damage Shirou and Musashi had left in Gilgamesh's body was reversed.

Soon, the only person left there was a blond boy who looked about the same age as Shirou.

Gilgamesh returned not only physically but mentally as well, to an age that matched his appearance.

As we all know, Gilgamesh's life can be divided into three stages.

The old age of the wise king (who gave up on achieving human independence in his own generation and believed that there would be successors)
The youth of the tyrant (who believed that correcting the human nature of relying on the gods must be excessive)
And, 'considered a wise ruler (believed to be able to correct humanity himself)' - during his youth.

Unlike his youth, when his words and attitude were harsh, Gilgamesh as a teenager would use his power to the fullest as a Servant and would hardly impose any self-restraint on himself.

Even if he sees through the Master's secrets or little thoughts, he will not say anything, but will just smile and fight for the Master as a Servant.

Will generously help the Master with a smile.

I will also watch my Master go to his end with a smile.

The only thing that is clear is that young Gil hates his adult self very much and doesn't understand why he became that way when he grew up.

So, what is the first thing that young Gilgamesh will do after appearing in the sea of fire of Fuyuki?

Looking around, the hellish scene of Fuyuki City was in the sea of fire.

Young Gil casually took out a large jar of panacea from the King's Treasure and threw it into Kotomine Kirei's hand: "Take this and give it to those who are contaminated by all the evils of this world."

After taking the panacea, Kotomine Kirei asked curiously, "Aren't you going to save him yourself?"

“That is the job of the rulers, let those who are responsible do it.”

"Government rescue?" Kotomine Kirei shook his head. "We can't expect that kind of thing here. Waiting for rescue is worse than waiting for death. At least death will come."

Young Gil glanced at the people who had gathered and started organizing the rescue of the survivors.

Kotomine Kirei added: "Those are the local underworld. They use this to win over the hearts of the people, whether it's the hearts of the public or the hearts of their own men."

Young Gil shrugged. "Maybe we should be thankful that the term 'malicious disaster relief' hasn't been invented yet."

Neither Young-Gil nor Kotomine Kirei continued on this topic.

Kotomine Kirei quietly put away the panacea. As a priest of the Fuyuki City Church, disaster relief is part of his job - he can't really count on the government to come to the rescue in time, right?

For a capital-dominated country, it would be good enough if it did not obstruct rescue operations organized by civilian forces.

However, Jill suddenly changed the subject.

"how about you?"

Golden light flowed in Jill's pigeon blood stone eyes:
"What are you here?"

Facing Jill's sudden questioning of himself, Kotomine Kirei...
"Here are just ordinary humans." Kotomine Kirei's lips curled up into a faint smile.

Jill stared at the 'creature' in front of her that looked like Kotomine Kirei.

He is not simply a "person" or a "group of data", but a being that is a mixture of multiple spiritual bases. Sometimes among the servants, he is called a heretic servant with a special job title "Alterego".

Although it is a product of a mixture of multiple existences, most of the time, one of the many spiritual bases (personalities) that constitute its existence will float up. In layman's terms, it can also be regarded as the floating existence of the personality.

The existence (spiritual foundation) that constitutes the man in front of me is
Ordinary Fuyuki City priest: Kotomine Kirei

The evil monk of the last Tsarist Russia: Rasputin
Baloo, the moon god who cursed humans in Australian legend

The three-headed dragon of evil in Zoroastrian legend, the evil of mankind: Aziz Dahaka
Whichever personality comes to the fore represents the will of the man in front of you at that moment.

[Who exactly is this person? (A supplementary explanation here is that Shirou cannot see the contents in brackets in the setting. They are notes for the reader's perspective)]

[1/6, Ordinary Residents of the Celestial World (Chaldeas)]

[2/7, Apostle of the Alien God]

[3/8, Apostle of the Alien God (Rasputnik)]

[4. Apostle of the Alien God (Balu)] [5/9. Apostle of the Alien God (Azi Dahaka)]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=5】

——Shirou at the Toosaka House at this time: "What the hell? Why are all the options this time 'Apostle of the Alien God'? What is this Alien God?"

Who are you?

Kotomine Kirei had no intention of answering this question, because there was no need to answer it.

The Dragon Demon just shook the bottle of panacea in his hand: "Just as you took out this thing to eliminate the causal karma between you and this place, even if it was unconscious, the young man also made an action to use the power of me, the "Demon King", to defeat you - then, I will be summoned by his karma chain.

To test whether a hero can become a 'Warrior of Light' has been the 'karma' of the 'Demon Lord of Absolute Evil (Azi Dahaka)' since ancient times."

Under the illumination of the purgatory fire caused by the "all the evil in this world" that gushed out from the Holy Grail around Kotomine Kirei, Jill saw three evil dragons twisting and distorting in the man's elongated shadow.

Aziz Dahaka - Dragon Devil
In the worldview setting of Zoroastrian legends, all phenomena in the world are the result of the battle between the good god Ahura Mazda and the evil god Angra Mainyu.

That's right.

Angra Mainyu, that was the name of the Servant that the Einzbern had high hopes for in the last Holy Grail War - the Third Holy Grail War, hoping to win by cheating and summoning him.

If Angra Mainyu is "all the evil in this world" in the dualistic cosmology of Zoroastrianism, then
The half-human, half-god dragon demon under his command, Azi Dahaka, is the manifestation of all the evil in this world.

The result of the Einzbern family's attempt to cheat was that the Holy Grail was contaminated, and what emerged from it was not the miraculous power of making a wish, but black mud with the nature of "all the evil in this world".

However, just like the Einzbern family in the Third Holy Grail War, the Angra Mainyu summoned was just a fake.

In front of the Dragon Demon Aziz Dahaka, these black muds are nothing more than "fakes" with similar properties.

What the Einzbern family summoned was not the real Angora Mainyu, but a counterfeit of similar nature, the 'manifestation of all the evil in this world' that the counterfeit 'all the evil in this world' can bring - these black muds are naturally just counterfeits of the dragon demon Az Dahaka.

However, this indirectly led to a result.

All beings contaminated by this black mud are equivalent to the existence of "the manifestation of all evil in this world" in Zoroastrian mythology - they have a "fate" with the dragon demon Azi Dahaka.

The Dragon Demon himself is also the strongest of the Zoroastrian evil gods - perhaps even the strongest 'magician (priest/caster)' in the entire Zoroastrian legend.

With the Dragon Demon's magic level, he can completely transform all the black mud and the beings affected by the black mud into his own "clones (spirits)", and then let them exert the power recorded in the legend - "killing one-third of the creatures in this world."

To be more precise, it is to make them "unable to be truly eliminated before killing one-third of the living beings in this world."

By reversing the Heroic Spirit Summoning System, it is possible for oneself, who was originally unable to become a Servant, to appear in the world in an extraordinary way.

But the dragon demon would not do such a thing.

Because there is no point in doing it. If the Dragon Demon really shows up in person, then according to the Zoroastrian prophecy, the Warrior of Light - the God of War 'Bahram (Veleslana)' will appear, defeat the Dragon Demon and seal him, restricting his ability to move. In the end, the Dragon Demon will be unable to take the initiative to do anything.

Unless the world is in chaos, the continuity of time and space collapses, and a crisis of humanity comes, the dragon demon can hardly take the initiative to directly interfere in the world.

"Don't worry, little son. Before my god descends and human nature collapses, I will be a man named Kotomine Kirei. I will only be a man named Kotomine Kirei."

Kotomine Kirei told Jill this.

Should we say that the Dragon Demon Azi Dahaka is a person with a personality similar to Kotomine Kirei?

In other words, as long as the 'my God' mentioned by the Dragon Demon has not yet appeared in the world, there is no problem in simply regarding him as Kotomine Kirei.

Before the time is right, the Dragon Demon will not cross the line, because once he crosses the line, Bahram's eagle will smash his claws, and the golden sword of the Warrior of Light will immediately pierce his heart and split his godhead.

In other words, he basically only does what Kotomine Kirei would do.

Specifically,

The Dragon Demon will become Toosaka Rin's teacher, as Kotomine Kirei.

Judging from the current situation, I will also work part-time as Shirou's teacher in this world.

The young Hero King - Jill could sense what the man in front of him was planning.

He could just hide in the dark, sleep deep in this composite spiritual base, let the personality consciousness of Rasp or Kotomine Kirei emerge and take the lead, and wait silently for the right time for his own god to descend into the world.

The Dragon Demon took the initiative rarely, and carefully avoided the possibility of being hunted down by his nemesis Bahram. His fundamental purpose was...
Obviously, it is to train Shirou - and bring along Toosaka Rin at the same time.

In other words, he wanted to cultivate an opponent who might be able to kill him and fight with him.

Or maybe it is to cultivate it into the 'Angora Mainyu (Evil God Appearance)' of this era.

He is enjoying the 'pleasure' of the process.

In this way, the dragon demon forms a delicate balance with Bahram in the Zoroastrian worldview of the opposition between good and evil.

Jill also knew that, at least for a long time, there was no need to worry about the Dragon Demon becoming Shirou's enemy.

The Dragon Demon will train Shirou wholeheartedly and with all his heart - even with all his strength.

She also looks forward to the day when Shirou will learn her true identity and will be forced to fight her to the death. She looks forward to the expression and mood on Shirou's face on that day, and enjoys her own "pleasure".

What a terrible character.

It is difficult for Gil to make a sharp comment, whether the Dragon Demon's personality is worse or Gilgamesh's (his young self) personality is worse.

(In fact, FGO has also implemented a female version of the Dragon Demon, which looks like this↓ (Vritra and Azi Dahaka are the names of the same god in different regions))
(By the way, here’s a little-known fact: the “Lushan” in An Lushan’s name means “Warrior of Light”, which is Bahram (Veleslana))

(So the An Lushan Rebellion can actually be said to be the Horus Rebellion (Horus is the guardian of light/sun god in Egyptian mythology, and can also be said to mean the warrior of light) (← nonsense))
