Shirou Emiya is challenging FGO

Chapter 78 The Power of TMD Love! (1! Please give me a monthly ticket! Please subscribe automatically!)
76. This is a trial!
The humanoid war god, whose height has reached about 40 meters, wields two swords, and his movements are not slowed down by his huge size!
Every time the spiritual blade entangled with thunder and fire is swung, it has the power to split the sky and the earth!

The high-rise buildings in Fuyuki city were shattered in an instant - rather than shattered, it was more like they were cut off and melted instantly due to the extremely high temperature, and then reacted with the atmosphere to cause an explosion.

Facing the enemy's behemoth unit, Shirou chose to fuse and summon his own behemoth unit to fight back.

But it was obvious that although the situation on the battlefield was temporarily held up, it was Shirou's side that was at a disadvantage.

The reason is very simple: the Fallen God Bull in front of him simply has more buffs stacked on it.

The sacred bull is a mythical beast, and there is a legend that it is the incarnation of the god - there are many legends that Zeus transformed into the appearance of a bull to seduce women - even as a summoned creature of the mythical beast level, it is absolutely an exceptional existence among the mythical beasts.

Normally, it is impossible for it to become a Servant's Noble Phantasm - in fact, it is not a Noble Phantasm. Iskandar's Noble Phantasm is actually a chariot, but the chariot itself is no different from an ordinary mortal object, except that it has an incredible "supplementary product function" such as "summoning two sacred bulls".

"The accessories are much stronger than the product itself!" Sakura, who was one with Susanoo, complained in Shirou's cockpit while bearing the opponent's thunder.

Although Iskandar's Noble Phantasm cannot be called a bug, it is undoubtedly an act of exploiting loopholes. Waver is indeed not modest. In the Fourth Holy Grail War, it was indeed him, the Master who lacked an overwhelming source of magic power, who dragged Iskandar down.

Without considering the issue of personality compatibility, if Kenneth was with Iskandar, Iskandar would not be the leader of a group of super soldiers, but the god of thunder - even his super soldiers could get more enhancements!
But the Fallen Bull in front of him was even more outrageous than that!

Because it also integrates the "R'lyeh Text (Luoyan City Textbook)", this book itself is almost equivalent to half of the incarnation of the "Old Ones". After the integration, it can almost infinitely extract energy from the void and continuously obtain the power of the evil god recorded in it - Cthulhu.

A composite divine monster!

Shirou just remained silent, and continued to swing his sword, attack, block, and dodge as usual. If he couldn't get out of this situation, he would hide behind a nearby high-rise building, use it as a shield, and keep changing his position.

Whether it is Shirou's Susanoo or the Fallen Bull controlled by the evil god, both sides have immortal bodies.

The source of both parties' immortality is the 'infinite energy source' that both parties possess.

What the Fallen God Bull possesses is the core "R'lyeh Text" provided by the alien octopus-headed evil god.

What Susanoo holds is the flesh and blood of the star dragon Albion, which is capable of evolving all things in the universe.

Let’s not discuss the idea of fighting beasts to see which side is more advanced.

But the Albion flesh and blood on Shirou's side is flawed.

This thing itself is not a magic furnace with infinite energy source, but it has become a 'Three-Base Magic Furnace' with this effect after being processed and modified.

The Fallen Angel Bull continuously obtains energy from the void, while Shirou's is something like a 'stellar particle perpetual motion machine' that can 'create energy infinitely'.

The amount of energy that can be output at the same time depends largely on the load-bearing limit of the outer shell.

But the furnace itself was blown up by Kiritsugu Emiya during the Fourth Holy Grail War.

What Shirou got was only the flesh and blood that served as the core. Without the outer shell, it could not be used as a simple perpetual motion machine with infinite energy and would only become a simple monster.

In order to make it work stably, Shirou needs to temporarily create a strong enough shell.

The production of this shell requires the extraction of more stable energy - and the energy for making this shell is extracted from the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City through Toosaka Rin's authority.

In a word——

"So we are actually fighting with an EVANGELION plugged in with a wire?!"
Sakura, as the machine itself, endured the damage from the lightning strike and couldn't help complaining.

Complaining is also a way for her to vent stress.

The enemy has more stacked buffs, so it is stronger on the data panel, but both sides have immortal bodies with infinite energy, which can make up for a lot of the gap.

But Shirou's immortal body is more unstable.

If time drags on for too long, once something unexpected happens and the "wires" become unstable, there is a possibility that Shirou's machine will go berserk like the EVA machine in "Neon Genesis Evangelion", and this possibility may continue to increase with time.

Although Shirou has been trying hard to make up for the difference with his skills, unlike the evil god who is alone, Shirou still has his companions from the Tōsaka family to protect.

If the opponent's attack is directed at the Tohsaka family behind him, Shirou will have to stand up and resist!
Not to mention that Shirou still had many other companions on the battlefield still fighting.

On the battlefield between 'Superman' and 'Monster' on their side, any aftermath that is accidentally leaked may change the situation on other battlefields - you have to know that the enemies on other battlefields are also immortal!
With one AOE, the immortal enemies are not afraid, but Shirou’s companions are not.

You still have to fight hard and can't keep dodging and fighting.

"Sister, Senior, I have a bad feeling."

Ying seemed to have thought of something bad, and her tone as a machine spirit gradually became serious:

"This monster in front of me looks like a boss that's limited to theatrical editions, or a finale chapter. It doesn't feel like a monster that can be defeated in one episode, but one that will take several episodes!"

"What are you talking about?" Shirou asked for translation.

Ying said seriously, "This guy gives me the feeling that he has at least reached the second stage! I wouldn't be surprised if he reaches the third stage!"

This is really not a joke!

"Let's deal with the current situation first!" Lin answered her immediately, "We should take it one step at a time - we are not fighting alone!"

Shirou took a deep breath and instructed Sakura: "There's no point in relying on clever dodging. We have too many things to protect. We must fight head-on - Sakura, use the red form!"

Sakura understood this immediately: "Right! If that's the case, then we should have used the red form to fight back from the start!"

Originally, for the sake of speed, the energy of Susanoo's entire body was made to appear activated blue-purple, but activation would reduce the strength of the body and lead to a decrease in power output.

But due to the limitations of the battle situation, Shirou had to face the attack head-on and fight a defensive battle. Therefore, under Shirou's order, Sakura, as the machine soul, changed her strategy and made the flow of energy throughout her body become more stable and heavier.

Although the speed has decreased, the strength of the machine has increased significantly!
In order to implement the idea of defensive warfare, Shirou modified one of the two swords in his hands into the shape of a large shield, and the other was changed into a slender light spear.

Defend! Poke! Defend! Poke!
If Shirou's numbers are higher, then this defense strategy would be perfect!

Unfortunately, the BUFF stacked on the enemy side is now higher in terms of numbers.

And don't forget, Shirou is not driving the Gundam to fight the enemy Gundam now. There are two enemies now, and there is Lancelot who is driving a chariot with only one divine bull and galloping in the sky with the incarnation of the evil god!
He was constantly looking for opportunities to launch a sneak attack on Susanoo, while also constantly looking for opportunities to bypass Shirou and attack from behind!
The rear itself was actually not safe either. Although Kiritsugu had held back Diarmuid's troublesome magic spear, the remaining pseudo-thunder god Iskandar could only be held back by other people.

This line of defense is leaking everywhere!

Toosaka Rin also has her own trump card, but in the current situation she dare not use it carelessly. If the combat power is distributed incorrectly, the battle line of one side will collapse.

They must at least stabilize the front line first!

Shirou was not in a hurry, because there was no word for panic in his dictionary right now.

Shirou spoke directly in his own public channel: "Is there any way to send Matou Shinji back from here? He should be able to come in handy."

"What use can he be?" Toosaka Rin was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted: "Shirou, did you see it?"

"Yeah." Shirou said simply.

Shirou can see the narrator's battle records. Through this ability, he is sure that Shinji Matou had successfully exerted his willpower before.

Based on past experience, those who put in extremely large numbers will receive a 'bonus plot'.

Shirou has been calculating silently in his mind:

He still has three big successes in his hands that have not yet taken effect.

They are the great success when forging Zanpakutō for Toosaka Rin, the great success of Waver's inspiration, and the great success of Shinji's will.

Although Shirou doesn't know how to make use of Shinji - but even if he just gets lucky wherever he goes, he will definitely be useful in the 'plot' later!

How to send Shinji back to the rear base safely?

When Shirou asked this question, the narration record was refreshed.

[Cadoch and Little Da Vinci, as the only two people present who have studied computer magic, they have the possibility of solving this problem from the perspective of computer magic]

[Difficulty: 75]

[Cadoch's 'Inspiration (Computer Magic)': 1D100=95]

[Little Da Vinci's 'Inspiration (Computer Magic)': 1D100=97]

Strictly speaking, in the early 2010s in the Chaldean world, the concept of computer magic was still in its infancy and had not yet been established as a formal discipline.

But Kadoc is rather ordinary, an ordinary person of the new generation of magicians. He has almost no aristocratic aesthetic concepts of traditional magicians and is much more receptive to new things. As a Pole, he likes rock music and even has records of his own composition and singing. For another example, he is also a hacker with good computer skills.

Kadoc doesn't think he is so amazing that he is like the super hacker characters in novels.

But he is indeed better at using computers than ordinary people. As a magician, he is also a programmer, and can be considered half an electronic engineer.

He is the type who can fix bugs in games by himself. Of course, this is just an extracurricular hobby for the magician.

After arriving in Chaldea, he felt that he lacked the ability, so instead of doing research like his fellow magicians, he tried his best to learn all kinds of knowledge.

Among them is the "computer magic teaching course" proposed by Leonardo da Vinci, but not many people have paid much attention to it.

Kadoc signed up for Leonardo da Vinci's tutoring, not because he had high expectations for the course. In addition to learning new knowledge, he actually wanted to build a relationship. If he could get the title of "apprentice of the almighty Leonardo da Vinci", it would definitely be of great benefit to a civilian new generation magician like him!
And at this moment.

Kadoc, who was assigned the task of assisting Da Vinci in maintaining the server - specifically, to immediately hot-patch and fix any bugs that occurred - suddenly had an idea after hearing Shirou's request for help in the communication channel.

An incredible idea came into his mind.

But because he was not so confident, before he could even open his mouth, the little Da Vinci beside him took the lead in bringing it up:

"Your current battlefield is data space. As long as that man named Matou Shinji doesn't resist, I can modify his coordinate code and directly change his 'location' to the safe zone inside the Tohsaka family! - From your perspective, it's space teleportation!"

"Is this true?" Toosaka Rin was stunned when she heard this. "Such a simple space teleportation? That must be a magic trick from the Age of Gods, right?"

"The principle is different. It's very easy for us to do this - as long as there are no obstacles." Kadok whispered.

Shirou asked Kadoc, "What kind of obstacles will you encounter?"

"I can't really explain it," Kadoc hesitated, "I've been fixing bugs. This feeling is more like
Um, do you know the series of tabletop chess games "Warhammer 40" produced and published by the British game company Games Workshop? There is a setting called "electronic demons" in it. When we try to interfere with your side, similar phenomena will happen on our side."

Little Da Vinci added: "You can think of it as these demons digging at the firewall, while we are constantly repairing it."

[Little Da Vinci and Kadoc are trying to modify the coordinates to send Matou Shinji back to the rear base from the front line]

[The difficulty is not high, and Matou Shinji himself will not resist, so the key here is to see if the evil god is paying attention to Shinji. If Shinji is lucky and not being paid attention to, then there is no need to pass the confrontation judgment. Otherwise, the technical team will have to contend with the interference of the evil god during the transmission process.]

[Requirement: 50]

[Shinji's 'Luck': 1D100=89]

This kid has always been lucky.

Now, Shinji has been teleported directly to the rear.

Shirou glanced at the great success in front of Little Da Vinci.

But Shirou at least knew at this time: Little Da Vinci and Cadoch, two companions he had never met before, had extremely high talents in computer magic!

Shirou's quick mind began to use his ability to see 'narration' to ask Da Vinci and Kadoc, two members of the computer technology team:
"Little Da Vinci! Kadoc! Do you have any method to use your computer magic to strengthen my defense so that I can hold the front battlefield firmly?

This is very important! Only when the front battlefield is stable can the rear be free to think about strategies and implement tactics! "

Before Shirou finished speaking, new narration began to emerge.

[Little Da Vinci and Kadoc are strengthening Shirou's Susanoo's defense by writing a 'defense program' on the spot]

[Can it be raised to a sufficient height? If so, Shirou's defensive battle with the Fallen Bull will be considered a success.]

[If this is not done, Shirou will control Susanoo to make a confrontation judgment, and Da Vinci and Kadoc will join in as "defense program correction"]

[Difficulty: 150]

[Cadoch's 'Computer Magic (Programming)': 1D100=82]

[Little Da Vinci's 'Computer Magic (Model Building)': 1D100=98 (?)]

[Little Da Vinci's previous inspiration successfully provides 'extra correction (not included in the difficulty)': 1D100=96 (???)]

[Total: 276]

What, what's going on!?
While Kadoc was still typing the code diligently, the little Da Vinci sitting next to him had already started to improve his data! ?
Kadoc stared in amazement at the changes in little Da Vinci beside him: she was no longer typing codes with her hands, but countless digital codes of 0 and 1 appeared above little Da Vinci's head. These codes formed various geometric patterns, and these patterns combined into something like an angel halo!

Little Da Vinci no longer needs to type code, but directly interferes with his consciousness!

Kadoc could actually understand what little Da Vinci was doing: little Da Vinci's body was an artificial human made by big Da Vinci, and little Da Vinci's personality was essentially like an AI program code. When Da Vinci designed her body, he must have taken electronic warfare into consideration, so he added this function into it.

It's simply an electronic angel!
Kadoc couldn't help showing an envious look.

This is the difference in "physical performance". Kadoc is just a commoner, let alone technology. Even if he has the technology, he doesn't have the money to build it.

——No, now is not the time to think about this.

Kadoc shook his head and drove away his insignificant jealousy. He was a very practical man: if he made great achievements and earned enough money, maybe he could build himself such a powerful body. Uh, should it be said that it was a humanoid computer with such functions?

With the support of little Da Vinci, the situation on the front line, which was originally barely holding out, has changed!

Da Vinci Jr.: "Phase Shift Armor!"

The surface of Susanoo is covered with a strange layer of armor. In the attack of the Fallen Bull, all physical damage - whether it is impact force or high temperature, are all invalidated!

Except for the divine attack, other attacks can no longer cause damage to Shirou's Susanoo!
Toosaka Rin subconsciously asked: "Why can't the divine attack be transferred as well?"

Little Da Vinci: "With current technology, it is impossible to explain or define 'divinity' using program code. It is possible to twist it by force, but the strength of this machine cannot sustain it and it will melt. It is not recommended to do so unless absolutely necessary."

After entering this state, little Da Vinci seemed to become more like a robot.

[Because Da Vinci's "Computer Magic (Model Building)" was a great success, unless Da Vinci falls, the "Fuyuki City Temporary Data Model Barrier" will be in a state that cannot be destroyed by violence.]

[Because Little Da Vinci was so successful in the 'Extra Correction', she can now provide extra corrections for all her actions except luck within the entire 'Fuyuki City Temporary Data Model Barrier'! ]

[Also, the assistance from Chaldea will not be interrupted by external forces, because the investigators who are actually investigating Chaldea will be led away by Little Da Vinci and will not discover the war game they are conducting.]

very good!

There is no need to worry about the front-line defense anymore, so now we can deal with the problems in the rear!
☆

Although the situation on the front line has improved, the threat from the Shadow Servant Iskandar still exists in the rear base.

Endless magical power allowed Iskandar to continuously summon Zeus's thunder, which continuously struck the crumbling defensive barrier of the Tohsaka family.

Although the Tohsaka family has the support of the earth veins, Iskandar does not use ordinary electric shocks, but the thunder power of Zeus, the king of gods in Greek mythology.

Once the barrier ritual site that operates the defensive barrier becomes unstable, the barrier may collapse at any time!
In a sense, this may be the most difficult battlefield because there are too few chess pieces available!

The people who can be assigned here are either rear-line personnel or simply children who have not grown up yet!
We can't expect five-year-old Kallen and four-year-old Kiara to be able to handle things on their own, right?

What's more, it's Iskandar who has infinite magic power and is close to being a god! ?

Moreover, in the shadows, Hassan of a hundred faces are constantly trying to sneak into the Tohsaka family and assassinate the logistics personnel.

It's just making things difficult for me!
Liang Yi Zhi can be used as a fighting force, but she is known for her agility. Although her physical strength is not good, she can rely on her skills to engage in defensive battles, and then find an opportunity to use powerful attacks to take advantage of the situation.

But the enemy is immortal, and his whole body is crackling with divine thunder!

Ryougi Ori was also unable to use guerrilla tactics, because the opponent could completely ignore Ryougi Ori and directly attack the Tohsaka family residence regardless of everything!
"Just getting close to him is fatal!" Liang Yizhi couldn't help but complain, "I'm not fighting a person at all, I'm fighting a huge generator that is constantly discharging electricity! I can't get through the minefield around him and drag the battle into hand-to-hand combat!"

To put it simply, the battlefield here really needs a 'meat shield'!
But there is really no way to allocate more combat power, so we can only hope that Kotomine Kirei and Miyamoto Musashi can win and then come back to support!

The two of them were the only ones facing an enemy that wasn't immortal—Huh? No, that male Musashi who was just summoned wouldn't also have the trait of immortality, right?

Wouldn’t that make the situation even worse?!
Asagami Fujino continued to try her best to use the power of her twisted magic eyes.

Her magic eyes possess overwhelming destructive power on the physical level. It's not that they are ineffective now, but it's meaningless against the immortal body!
Asagami Fujino concentrated her strength and tried to twist Iskandar's chest and 'crush' it - she succeeded.

But the next moment, the black mud squirmed and returned to normal!

Fujino had to admit a fact: although his ability had extraordinary destructive power, he was really helpless against immortal enemies!

But the enemies on this battlefield are all immortal!
What kind of doomsday copy is this?!
Fujino had no choice but to change his thinking. No longer concentrating the distorted power to destroy part of the enemy's body, he expanded and dispersed the power to Iskandar's entire body - ultimately having a similar effect to telekinetic restraint, making Iskandar's body movements sluggish and difficult.

But Iskandar simply didn't move, just stood there and kept on making electric discharges!

Ryougi Shiki could only suggest: "How about changing people? I'll hold back Diarmuid, but Emiya Kiritsugu will hold back Iskandar."

"no!"

Weber immediately retorted:

"The defensive barrier can block lightning, but it will be pierced directly by Diarmuid's red magic spear! To put it bluntly, Diarmuid - or more precisely, the magic spear in his hand - is the biggest threat to our base!"

In the courtyard of the Tohsaka family, some of the men brought by Lanis have already ridden the motorcycles that were prepared in advance. Waver put on his helmet and prepared to get on the motorcycle: "If it doesn't work, let me be the bait. I might be able to lure Rider away! Even if the other party is a shadow servant made of Iskandar residue, he might react to me!"

Weber is ready to risk it all.

Iskandar's true power is indeed beyond everyone's imagination. If he had the infinite source of magic power he has now during the Fourth Holy Grail War, he might have been the one who asked the other servants to gather together for a team fight!
He himself is a BOSS, and the two cows he summoned are also BOSSes!

But at this moment, an unexpected turning point came.

"Wait, 'Onii-chan'" The voice that made Weber's scalp tingle was from Renish. Since Renish knew that Weber would become the future Lord of El-Melloi, she started addressing him in a strange way.

But Lanis, who had been trained as a magician since childhood (even before she was born), still knew what was the right thing to do.

After Shirou suddenly and strongly requested to "send Shinji Matou to the rear" and succeeded in doing so, Lanis began to ruthlessly examine Shinji Matou's body.

Although he did not perform the dissection directly, he ignored Shinji's cries of pain and injected the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid directly into Shinji Matou's blood vessels, quickly collecting information about Shinji Matou's body.

After uploading the information, Lanice and Da Vinci, who was closely observing all the data content in the rear, both discovered problems with Shinji Matou.

Shinji Matou has no talent - this is everyone's stereotype, and he was ignored by the Matou family because he has no talent.

This view cannot be said to be completely correct, but it cannot be said to be completely wrong either.

Weber also looked up the information: "This is... uh, he is too talented, so he has become a person who looks less talented than me?"

It sounds contradictory.

But if you think about it carefully, the problem is not hard to find.

No matter how much the Matou family has degenerated, there is still a demon gene in their blood. If the bloodline has really degenerated completely to the point where it is hopeless, then first of all -

“First he will become ugly”

A voice suddenly interrupted. It was Roman, who had finally escaped the investigation and interrogation from Chaldea and arrived late. For some reason, he seemed to know a lot about the 'Bloodline of the Seventy-two Demon Gods of Solomon' of the Matou family:
"If he completely deteriorates, he will first be affected by the demon factor and his growth and development will become deformed. His appearance will not be good-looking, and his mind will become dull and crazy. However, according to the information about the Matou family, they have only lost their ability in magic. In other aspects, whether it is sports or business, they are very good.

In other words, the real problem faced by the descendants of Barbatos is..."

Roman paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

“It’s just a simple case of not adapting to the local climate. Barbatos’s demon factor is not adapted to the spiritual environment of Fuyuki City. The stronger the demon factor, the more serious the problem.

In addition, when Solomon designed Barbatos's demon factor, he placed a curse of 'justice and courage' in it, so his descendants are prone to this tendency - but on the other hand, if someone in the family goes astray and has not been punished
Specifically, if other holders of the Barbatos Demon Gene do not resist Matou Zouken, they will also be affected!
This is the case with the kid named Matou Shinji. If the demon factor was very weak, the blockage of his magic circuits wouldn't be so serious. It's better to say that he's actually a bit of a "reversion". There are many excellent magic circuits in his body, but because of the existence of Matou Zouken, his acclimatization problem has been doubled!
It was completely blocked, not a single drop was left. This was a restriction that Solomon had set up in the beginning, fearing that the descendants of the demon gods would go astray. "

After listening to Roman's words, Waver couldn't help but sigh and praise: "As expected of a Chaldean from the future world where science and mystery are highly developed, you even know this kind of knowledge."

Roman was stunned at first, then he smiled and explained, "Well, I only know a little bit about Solomon. He is an important research subject of mine."

Shirou didn't care about these academic questions, but he knew that if he didn't interrupt them, these magicians, who were completely "Frankensteins" in Shirou's eyes, would continue to discuss.

So Shirou got straight to the point: "Can Shinji be of use?"

"Look at himself."

Roman's gaze swept across the screens of the battlefields in front of him. When he saw Matou Zouken's demon form, his gaze paused. Roman swallowed and for a moment he actually felt a little breathless.

Lanis immediately expressed her idea in a very 'Mad Magician (Frankenstein)' style: "We will record the 'demonization' phenomenon of Zouken Matou as data, and then replicate it on Shinji! In this way, we can create a demon on our side!"

Little Da Vinci immediately gave his theoretical support: "It's theoretically feasible, but there will be a problem. The overwriting of the program will cause Matou Shinji to be affected as well. What if he is affected by Matou Zouken and goes crazy as well? Maybe there will be an additional enemy!"

Roman hesitated for a while, then continued with some difficulty: "This child named Matou Shinji and the demon named Matou Zouken are essentially of the same origin. Barbatos' demon factor is set to 'power angel'!
In other words, even if it is just a simple child's admiration and desire for the heroes in the story, as long as it is strong enough, it can evoke the characteristics of the "Power Angel" to fight against the devil.

That’s the theory.”

Everyone except Renis and Shirou hesitated.

Betting on Matou Shinji? Is it okay? Is he really worth it?
He was only seven years old, and he wasn't even one of the 'chosen children' that the dragon demon had chosen. Was there really such a possibility?

What if a new insect monster enemy is created?
Lanis did not remain silent, but the words that came out of her equally young mouth were even more cruel: "It won't hurt to give it a try. I will install a bomb with highly toxic mercury in his body. If he turns into an insect monster, I will just blow him up - it won't cause any trouble."

Cruel, but makes sense.

However, although it was a matter that would determine the future fate of Shinji in this world, Shinji himself did not participate in the discussion.

Compared to an ordinary seven-year-old child, he is actually quite smart. Even though no one taught him and even though his family had given up on him long ago, Shinji found the magic books at home and taught himself a lot of knowledge. He can even draw a very standard ritual array with his bare hands.

However, due to the lack of magic power and the curse of a being named Matou Zouken, all the magic circuits in his body were blocked, so he had never succeeded.

In this decisive battle, although he was a passerby who was almost forgotten by both the enemy and us, by being here and listening to the discussion of the temporary salvation team, Shinji roughly knew what happened in his own "Demon Family" and knew that the source of all evil was his ancestor - Matou Zouken.

He just felt dizzy: If his family was guilty and was the descendant of the fallen demon god, then wouldn't Shinji Matou himself be a part of it, a being born to bear sin?

(This is me.)

Shinji's random thoughts were interrupted by Shirou's calm voice, which seemed to be saying "the right thing to do" all the time:
"I believe in Shinji."

When Shinji couldn't believe himself, Shirou spoke:

"He is not an outsider. We need his help. So, we should listen to his own thoughts. What do you think, Shinji? If you are afraid or uneasy, just speak up. I am listening."

Shirou said seriously, "Your choice is yours. I have faced similar choices before. Once you make a choice, there is no turning back."

After all, if Shinji didn't have the courage and sense of justice, he wouldn't be able to fight against Zouken Matou's malice, and there would be no need to conduct the experiment. If he forced the transformation, the final result would almost certainly be a monster. This is the subtext of Shirou's words.

But it sounded different coming from Shinji's mouth.

Shinji remembered the boy who seemed to be his own age who saved him when he was attacked before, and how he encouraged him while treating his wounds.

It was clearly a very critical situation, but he remained calm and composed - so cool!

He is the ideal type for every little kid who dreams of being a hero!
Although something seems to be wrong in terms of gender, let’s not get bogged down in the details here. Just ask: this is the power of bond!
Seven-year-old Shinji, who had not yet grown crooked, gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and said to Lanis:

"I only have one request. Just in case, please implant a bomb in my body, but can you make it look like a cool belt?"

Lanis tilted her head. Although she didn't understand what this meant, she still agreed: "Sure, it's not a big deal."

"Okay!" Shinji gritted his teeth, as if he was afraid that he would regret it too much, and immediately asked: "Please start!"

[In order to increase the combat power that can hold back the immortal Iskandar, Shirou's temporary rescue team intends to copy the effect of the 'Demonization (Insect)' that Matou Zouken used on himself at the data level, and then overlay it on Shinji]

[Will Shinji be reborn, or will he be unable to withstand the madness of Matou Zouken and turn into a crazy insect monster, and then be killed by the bomb planted in advance? ]

[This is a very dangerous choice. If you succeed, you will gain the power of a 'demon' who has completely transformed yourself. If you fail, you will be doomed! ]

[Difficulty: 100]

[Matou Shinji's "Believe in your own justice and courage": 1D100=11]

[Shirou's encouragement (Shinji's willpower was successful during Shirou's treatment, this is an additional correction and is not included in the difficulty): 1D100=98]

[Little Da Vinci's data level interference (extra correction for Little Da Vinci's great success, not included in the difficulty): 1D100=54]

[Total: 163]

Yes, that’s right.

After all, Shinji has been failing since he was a child. He has never received any encouragement and has been ignored by his grandfather who is a magician. The only friendly attitude his father has towards him is to keep repeating to him over and over again, "You don't have the ability, so just give up."

It is similar to the case for ordinary people whose mothers died young.

Now that I think about it, it must be because his parents have long known that magicians are not the good things that Shinji imagined, so they have been persuading him to leave the path of magic. However, because they are afraid of the existence of Matou Zouken, his parents dare not point out the evil and horror of magicians.

This made Shinji study hard on his own and imitate others in order to become a magician with incredible power.

It is only natural for normal children to yearn for incredible powers.

If this battle had not started so early, but a little later, Shinji might have developed according to the "script" and become another scum cursed by the Matou bloodline.

But sometimes, things just happen.

Shinji, who always fails, can't even believe in himself. His apparent flamboyance and arrogance are actually a cover for his inferiority complex.

But by chance, Shinji heard for the first time someone say "I believe you".

Although the logic behind this is actually quite different, Shinji doesn't know what the logic behind Shirou's words is.

After all, Shirou is not familiar with Shinji.

But no matter what, Shirou did say that, and Shinji did hear it.

Just treat it as a lie.

Just treat this misunderstanding as reality!
——My inferiority complex is so cowardly and twisted
——However, since I cannot trust myself, I decided to trust myself because you trust me!

“Aa ...

Heart-wrenching screams continued to escape from Shinji's mouth!

The cruel changes that the old bug had made to his body, which had long since become a demon, were now copied and pasted - 'covered' on Shinji's body.

Once the transformation is initiated, the demon factor belonging to Barbatos in Shinji's body will be forcibly activated. The forcibly activated demon factor will tear apart all of Shinji's originally blocked magic circuits and then reassemble them!
Also transforming into a demon is Shinji Matou's body, which is constantly being torn apart and reorganized at the cellular level at a terrifying speed!

The copy and paste function of computer magic is indeed very useful and can greatly shorten the reading time of general magic.

But the price is that, as a person undergoing experimental transformation, Shinji must endure all of this in a very short period of time.

If they don't faint and lose consciousness, perhaps a simple-minded child can endure this kind of pain better than a so-called mature adult?
Children don’t plan their actions carefully or think about their escape routes like adults do. The only thing children know is: as long as I can hold on, I can become a hero!

If you can't believe in yourself, then believe in those who believe in you - believe in the boy of the same age who has become a 'hero'!

He is also fighting on the front line - the most dangerous front line, taking the damage from the enemy's main force for his companions!

So! Since he trusts me, I can definitely do it!
Shinji felt his consciousness, and during the transformation process, it seemed as if it was wrapped in some indescribable black mud. Endless negative emotions overflowed from it, constantly scolding him for being "incompetent", "waste", and "stop being obsessed".

As if trying to drag his soul into the abyss—

But
".Shinji?" Shirou, who was at the front line resisting the attack from the Fallen Angel Bull and Lancelot, seemed to have sensed something.

Courage might not just be something that emerges from the heart.

Also, it is a power that can be transmitted.

Gritting his teeth, Shinji actually managed to hold on by relying on his admiration for Shirou's heroic figure!

After Matou Zouken, another insect demon appeared on the battlefield of the Fuyuki Incident!

If the insect-demonized Zouken Matou looks like a humanoid monster, Shinji's transformed posture has reduced many deformed parts, and the overall lines look smoother.

Although the characteristics of a monster can still be seen, its posture is as tall and straight as a knight!
Maybe it’s because the data of Zouken Matou was used, so after Shinji’s transformation, his body shape is not that of a child, but that of an adult with a height of over 1.8 meters!

So! Let’s fight!

Put all your worries behind you!
Since Shirou is fighting, I, who have gained power, must fight too!

Even though he has obtained the body of a demon, Shinji, who has no ability to fight at all, can actually do very little at this moment.

Very simple, but very useful.

“Wooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”

Shinji rushed directly towards Iskandar, relying on his monster-level physical strength after being transformed into a demon, and rushed towards Iskandar!

Dodge?

No need!
Because Shinji Matou doesn't know any of those things!

He couldn't even control his own strength. If he tried to dodge, his legs might accidentally throw him hundreds of meters away from the battlefield!

So! Charge! You can only charge!
A straight charge!
Rush towards Iskandar! As long as he is still standing, he will be the best cover for Liang Yizhi!

At the same time, Asagami Fujino gathered her own strength, not seeking to create distorted destruction, but only to temporarily limit Iskandar's ability to move, forcing him to face the enemy head-on!

Ryougi Ori came behind Shinji, using him as a front-line meat shield, and kept approaching Iskandar.

And the King of Conquerors Iskandar - as a shadow servant without a mind, he is not a warrior type of warrior like Diarmuid. Iskandar chose to meet the attack head-on!

The might of the King of Conquerors' devastation and domination - that is the roar of scarlet thunder!

[The goal of the Liangyizhi team is to contain Iskandar! ]

[Shadow Servant Iskandar (Mindless)'s 'Thunder Conqueror (Divine Thunder)': 1D100=17]

[Evil God's Support: 100]

[Total: 117]

[Shinji's 'Don't stop charging as a front-line tank': 1D100=35]

[Liang Yizhi's 'Continuously approaching under the cover of meat shield': 1D100=82]

[Da Vinci's Computer Magic Enhanced Correction (extra correction, not included in the difficulty): 1D100=86]

[Total: 203]

Ok.

Although, however, it was Shinji's first transformation and he had never learned any martial arts, so he could not exert much combat power.

But the enemy is nothing more than an unintentional puppet occupying an immortal body—a puppet that steals Iskandar’s power!
Shinji, just be a good meat shield and don't stop, just keep rushing forward!

Without the obstruction of the thunder's power, Liang Yi Zhi would be able to get to a distance where he could display his skills!

Shinji rushed forward, his legs suddenly exerting force like a grasshopper, and he endured the baptism of the divine thunder and pounced on the shadow servant Iskandar!
Lightning can no longer continue to bombard the Tousaka family's defensive barrier!
With the cooperation of her companions, Liang Yizhi finally reached a distance where she could hold back Iskandar through a fight!
The defense line has been completely held!

in other words--

"Next! It's time to fight back! - Rin!"

Toosaka Rin drew out her Zanpakutō!

This Zanpakutō that Shirou forged for Rin Toosaka with all his heart and soul - Rin Toosaka, let's release the power contained in it! (← Chapter 72 Shirou forges Rin Toosaka 1D100=99)

It's time to blow the clarion call for counterattack!

——It’s our turn to counterattack!
[Because Iskandar and Diarmuid are both immortal, they can only be held back.]

[So here we will only add the battlefield situation judgments for 'Ms. Musashi vs. Miyamoto Musashi' and 'The battlefield of Kotomine Kirei vs. Matou Zouken']

[The battle situation on both sides may affect Shirou's main battlefield (such as obtaining reinforcements)]

[Ms. Musashi and Miyamoto Musashi conduct an 'on-the-spot performance confrontation judgment']

[If the numerical difference between the two sides is less than 30, the battlefield situation is 'stalemate'. If it exceeds 30, the battlefield situation becomes 'favorable to the side with the larger number']

[Ms. Musashi Vs. Miyamoto Musashi]

[Ms. Musashi's 'on-the-spot performance': 1D100=96]

[Miyamoto Musashi's 'on-the-spot performance': 1D100=85]

[The situation on the battlefield between the male and female Musashi was generally a stalemate, but Miss Musashi performed very successfully on the spot, that is to say.]

Niten Ichiryu and Niten Ichiryu, the two Miyamoto Musashis of both sexes, the four swords clashed madly and continuously, and for a moment it sounded like the endless sound of iron forging in a swordsmith's workshop!
Miss Musashi noticed something wrong with the man's sword, so she asked tentatively:
"I think that I am the growing Musashi, and you are the Servant who has grown up. In other words, you are my future self. When my future self meets my past self, there shouldn't be any contradiction like wanting to kill my past self, right?
After all, I am not the you of the past! Look at this on my chest! We are completely different people, right? "

The male Musashi nodded: "Indeed."

The female Musashi was delighted: "I knew it! As a man, you must like beautiful girls just like me as a woman - and I am undoubtedly a beautiful girl. You can tell at a glance that I was also a beautiful boy when I was young!"

The male Musashi seemed to catch the wave: "That's right!"

Female Musashi: "Then what are we fighting for!?"

Male Musashi: "I thought so too, and I wanted to help you, but the curse of the evil god suppressed the 'good thoughts' in my heart, so that I could only think with 'evil thoughts', such as ignoring the overall situation and using 'another self to test my skills' here - you have similar thoughts, right?"

The female Musashi was speechless.

"So - you try to suppress me. As long as you suppress me and injure me severely, maybe I will have a chance." Uncle Musashi said.

"What opportunity?" asked the female Musashi.

The male Musashi said without hesitation: "I will 'cut off' the evil god's curse in my body!"

Female Musashi: "You can do something like this!? You are worthy of being my future self!"

[Musashi is in a stalemate for now]

[Kotomine Kirei Vs Matou Zouken]

[Kotomine Kirei's 'on-the-spot performance': 1D100=97]

[Matou Zouken's 'on-the-spot performance': 1D100=10]
