Shirou Emiya is challenging FGO

Chapter 96 The Ultimate Insult! (1.1! Please give me a monthly ticket! Please subscribe automatically!)
94. Cuchulainn! What do you think? What do you think?

Before Wu Cheng'en's version of Journey to the West, the evolution of Sun Wukong's image was very frequent and varied, and it could even be said that he was both good and evil - just as before that, the various versions of Journey to the West were as numerous as stars.

But Wu Cheng'en's version of Journey to the West killed this 'fan creation competition'.

If the ordinary Journey to the West before this one was mostly a mashup of fan myths and folk stories by folk masters for their own entertainment, then Wu Chengen's version of Journey to the West was like the national team coming out to kill the game.

Wu Cheng'en's true identity is unknown, but he undoubtedly held a high position in the government and had witnessed many political and bureaucratic struggles within the Ming Dynasty, and was well versed in them.

He used the bureaucratic framework of the Ming Dynasty as the backbone, compiled and linked together various folk mythology and fan pamphlets that were originally pieced together, and finally formed the rigorous story of the worldview of Wu Chengen's version of Journey to the West.

It's like, the same theme of cultivating immortals, the cultivation of immortals in the form of gangsters fighting each other and the cultivation of immortals in the form of bureaucracy, when you put them together, the level of quality is obviously different, not to mention the various religious texts that quote from scriptures.

After Wu Cheng'en, most of the stories of Journey to the West were simply supplemented, expanded or re-created based on his own work. It was rare that there was a situation like before where "everyone created freely around the theme of Journey to the West".

After Wu Cheng'en, the theme of Journey to the West specifically refers to Wu Cheng'en's Journey to the West.

But Wu Cheng'en's Journey to the West also has problems.

The problem is that he writes too well.

Wu Cheng'en wrote very well, but his Journey to the West was too closely based on the rigorous framework of the real bureaucratic system, which meant that only people who had no understanding of the bureaucratic system could read it simply as a story about gods and demons. People who had a little understanding of the bureaucratic system could easily detect all kinds of jargon.

In fact, it cannot be said to be a good quality, after all, what Wu Chengen used was indeed the real bureaucratic "jargon".

Many people may think that the spiritual growth and cultivation growth of Sun Wukong in Journey to the West is essentially a set of ancient official career advancement paths. In fact, this is inevitable.

After all, no matter how you whitewash it, Wu Cheng'en himself wrote that in order to obtain the true scriptures and save the world, you still cannot avoid bribes to the Buddhas with worldly things such as money and treasures.

But the problem is that because Journey to the West is so popular, as a novel, it has forced religious figures in China to compete for popularity in later generations. I mean, based on the content and settings of Journey to the West, they began to modify and add settings to their own religions! They published new fan fictions to take advantage of the popularity. Ahem! I mean new classics!

From this perspective——

"Wu Cheng'en is the pinnacle of writers! He possesses an extraordinary level of 'bard power' - in other words, it's not wrong to call him the 'bard god'!"

The Cu Chulainn in front of Shirou, oh no, should I call him Odin?

Cú Chulainn in front of Shirou suddenly spoke in the identity of 'Odin, the God of Bards', which made Shirou feel confused.

Cu Chulainn's magic chant or the "storytelling" of "making up stories on the spot" continues:
"But that was after Wu Cheng'en became famous."

"Before Wu Chengen became famous and started to take advantage of the popularity, when he wrote his own books, he also took advantage of the popularity of the popular IPs that were already well-known among the people at that time, such as Wang Lingguan, Nezha, and Erlang Shen, and let them interact, confront, and set off the protagonist Sun Wukong in his works.

This is also part of the bard's practice!
It was Wu Chengen himself who embarked on the path of the bard and the path to godhood! "

Shi Lang couldn't help but want to complain: "You are so arrogant. Does Wu Chengen know that he wrote the book and did all this for this reason?"

But he was interrupted by Olga Marie, who covered Shirou's mouth.

As the only magician present, Olga Marie knew very well that what Cu Chulainn was saying at this moment, which seemed like the "made-up nonsense" of the group members in the online chat group, was actually a "chant" with complex and mysterious meanings!
Can't be interrupted!
Cuchulainn was still singing:
"However, for most ordinary readers, what they really care about is not the various 'official language' and the various 'conspiracy theories' derived from the bureaucratic setting of gods.

But it is - the theory of combat effectiveness!
Who is strong and who is weak? Who is stronger? Who is smarter? Who has the most powerful weapon?

Who is riding on whose fame and popularity? Who is becoming whose stepping stone?

There are many different opinions in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, and this matter is also recorded in the Norse mythology surrounding 'Thor and Odin'! "

It’s true. These words are so convincing coming from Odin’s mouth.

After all, according to the research of some scholars, Thor was the Supreme God in the beginning, and Odin appeared later. He robbed Thor of many powers in the mythology and made him his son in the story.

Olga Marie and Leonardo da Vinci also nodded: In fact, in the academic research of the magician world, there are also many people who believe that Odin was not originally a god at all. He was an extremely powerful magician. Things like digging out his eyes and hanging upside down on the Fountain of Wisdom to obtain the "Runes" that are the "symbol of the supreme wisdom in Norse mythology" are all magic rituals of this magician, and the purpose is to "become a god."

"There is no doubt that before Wu Cheng'en's Journey to the West, Sun Wukong's personal image, family relationships and other settings were not stable. In other words, although Journey to the West was a popular IP for secondary creations, Sun Wukong himself was not the 'top character IP' at the time!"

The more Li Xiang listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and couldn't help but think: "Why does it sound like some kind of fan fight to get a chart?"

It was Olga Marie who stepped in and shut her up!

Odin's chant continued:
“The real top character IPs at that time were – Taiyi Leisheng Yinghua Tianzun·Wang Lingguan, Daoji Hongjun Tianzun·Erlang Shen!”

Custer, who was listening to the story (nonsense) with great interest, felt something was wrong when she heard this. She wanted to say something, but seeing the rare sharp look of Olga Marie, who had been timid all the time, Olga Marie used both hands and could not free a third hand to cover his mouth.

So Custer ran to the corner and asked Da Vinci carefully in a low voice: "Why does it say here that the previously mentioned Nezha is not among the top character IPs at that time?"

Da Vinci said that this was also his area of expertise, so he gave a very professional answer: "Wu Cheng'en dared to write in Journey to the West that Nezha did not beat Sun Wukong, but Wang Lingguan and Erlang Shen did not dare to write that they lost to Sun Wukong, they only dared to write that it was a draw."

".So this is the method to identify top characters? So the fighting power depends on the popularity of the real character, right?" Custer didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Da Vinci spread his hands and said, "Sorry, being popular really allows you to do whatever you want. Look at how popular Sun Wukong became in the subsequent stories. Of course, for the overwhelming popularity of Sun Wukong in modern China, the poem by the first poet in modern China, 'The golden monkey raises his thousand-pound stick, and the jade sky clears the dust. Today we cheer for the Great Sage, only because the evil fog has returned.' is the most important.

It can be said that Wu Chengen's "career master" (Wu Chengen referred to the Ming Dynasty government to reorganize the mythology system, which led many people to think that the direct manifestation of the practice of Journey to the West is "promotion") was redefined as "a symbol of a fighter against injustice."

Akagi Hinako also came over and nodded seriously: "That's really the No. 1 Monkey fan."

Odin is still chanting the spell (talking nonsense):

“Battle power fans are the most simple and widespread character fans”

"People's love is essentially a gathering of wishes, and the vast majority of gods in this world can be said to be the embodiment of human wishes and the projection of human's 'ideal self'."

"To protect the characters you love is also to protect yourself."

"then--

As the belief in Wang Lingguan declined.

The legendary battle between Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen has been constantly given various meanings by readers and audiences.

Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen - their fates began to become intertwined!
New fans who got to know Sun Wukong because of the popularity of Journey to the West think that Erlang Shen won in the end by relying on the sneak attack of other characters outside the scene, so it doesn’t count as a win, and Sun Wukong is still stronger
Old fans of Erlang Shen, who existed long before Journey to the West, were furious and thought: It was the hateful Wu Chengen who was slandering our Erlang Shen!
Therefore, radical Erlang Shen fans began to make up new stories, and even the rumor that "Erlang Shen has 73 transformations, he is the real Great Sage, and Sun Wukong is the Lesser Sage" began to spread.

Odin said:

"In this process, in the confrontation between fans, Sun Wukong's name gradually became more and more well-known by taking advantage of the fame of Erlang Shen, who has existed since ancient times. He also became more and more popular thanks to the wonderful storyline of Wu Chengen's version of Journey to the West."

"And Sun Wukong, the protagonist of Journey to the West, is also the voice of the author Wu Chengen. He is Wu Chengen's projection in his own story. In other words—"

"Wu Cheng'en is Sun Wukong!"

"This is all Wu Chengen's purpose, and it is a necessary part of Wu Chengen's 'Path to Deification' as the 'Bard Path'!"

"That's right!"

"The person whose identity is unknown and who uses the pen name Wu Cheng'en, the bard - his true identity is the real Sun Wukong himself!"

Wow, you really dare to say that—everyone present couldn't help but look at Odin in amazement.

Only Roman didn't know what was going on: Huh? You (Odin) didn't do something similar in the past, did you?
Odin is still singing the story like a bard:

"When Sun Wukong's popularity reaches a high enough level, when everyone fully recognizes the strength of Sun Wukong's power, the natural situation will occur."

"It is not shameful to be defeated by someone who is recognized as strong"

"It is not shameful to be defeated by Sun Wukong"

"It is not shameful to be defeated by Erlang Shen"

"The legendary duel between Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen, as the popularity of both sides has reached an equal point, as the number of old fans has been squeezed out by new fans, Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen are no longer in a competitive relationship in people's minds that needs each other to be a stepping stone.

It is a mutually fulfilling relationship.

When conservative fans start to think: Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen's relationship of being both enemies and friends is great!

Radical fans have already started pairing Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen together (Note: This is true, there really were many such people in history)

So, of course, when the fan circles of both sides began to merge——

In order to complete his own "road to becoming a god", Wu Cheng'en reappeared. Just as Odin has many different bard names, he also turned into a "wild boss" in the new circle and began to weave the "connection between Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen" with persuasive and knowledgeable words.

Let’s start proving that Sun Wukong is Erlang Shen!

He listed the past and present lives of Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen, and picked out the similarities between them, allowing readers to resonate and integrate the beliefs of fans of both sides.

An extraordinary and unexpected birth.

General martial arts.

The same magical power.

Similar experience of rebelling against heaven.

But they took different paths.

Some people say that Erlang Shen is Sun Wukong who has taken the right path.

Some people say that Erlang Shen is another possibility for Sun Wukong.

Some people say that Sun Wukong is another possibility for Erlang Shen.

The mutual admiration in their legendary duel is a glimpse into their past selves, future selves, and another possible self!

They are arch-enemies, close friends, and even brothers!

The two sides of the battle at Huaguo Mountain stared at each other, and all they could see was each other's (their own) shadow!"

I go!

Everyone knew that Odin was just making this up, but for some reason, everyone who was listening to the story couldn't help but feel... Regardless of whether it was convincing or not, regardless of whether it was nonsense or not.

But this kind of CP relationship seems to be really good!

All I can say is that people have liked this since ancient times.

“When both parties accomplish each other”

“When the popularity of Journey to the West was unprecedented”

“When most of the fans of both sides merge”

"Fate can be integrated under the guidance of people's wishes"

"Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen are a couple."

"Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen are good friends."

"Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen are brothers."

"Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen are each other's mortal enemies! But they are also soul friends!"

“They’ll fight each other.”

"But when real evil and injustice arise, they fight together!"

"Because Sun Wukong is Erlang Shen! They are each other's possibilities!"

"Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen are each other's alter egos!"

Li Xiang couldn't help but start clapping first.

wonderful!

Although it feels like the logic here is a little odd and the plot content doesn’t seem quite right, the inexplicable feeling is convincing.

In other words, it makes people want to believe what he said, want to believe the CP relationship between Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen since ancient times cough cough cough! Ritsuka wants to say that this is a classic super friendship between men!
Or hope is real.

Both parties are super popular characters, and the era of using all means to discredit each other in order to gain faith has long passed. Instead, they hope for a "dream linkage".

Then again, the original purpose of bards is to make up stories and sing them, right?
Perhaps this is also the power of Odin as a magician and the 'God of Bards (God of Writers)' at work, forcing the people around him to feel that the above nonsense is full of persuasiveness.

It is said that Odin's name also means "crazy".

He is also a mad god who can drive people crazy. In the process of the poet singing and weaving stories, he can drive people crazy, and perhaps also drive people into mental confusion, causing them to fall more fanatically in love with the stories he weaves - is this the meaning behind it?
Talk about it.

Shirou suddenly thought of something.

In the history of the Type-Moon world, there was indeed a story about Sanzang's journey to the West - not to mention the gender issue - but Shirou did some research during his training and learned one thing:

In the real history of this world, Master Tripitaka indeed completed the great task of obtaining Buddhist scriptures alone. Although he had various followers around him, there was no Sun Wukong like the one in the story of Journey to the West. The real Master Tripitaka was not the foolish monk in Journey to the West. Instead, he was extremely powerful, brave and resourceful in every sense of the word.

So is Sun Wukong a fictional existence in this world?

That's not the case, at least Shirou has 'seen' the real Son Goku after he became a Buddha.

So, what kind of relationship did Sun Wukong and Master Sanzang have in the history of this world? What is the story between them?
Shirou was curious.

If he had the chance, he would like to meet this legendary 'strong man from heaven' who had influenced Shenzhou - and even Japanese Buddhism further east.

(.By the way, if Avalokitesvara and Doushengfo were concerned about the Fuyuki Incident, then Sanzang, who had attained Buddhahood, should have been concerned as well)

Shaking his head, Shirou regained his composure.

As Cu Chulainn finished his magic chanting as 'the bard god of Odin', a strange object that looked like a bronze mask of an oriental male god gradually took shape.

The iconic "eye of heaven" feature on the forehead of the mask reveals the identity of the deity to which this mask corresponds.

——Erlang Shen!

Cu Chulainn used the 'Power of Odin' to forcibly cross the boundary and create this 'Divine Mask Erlang Shen' with complex 'restrictions'.

The most stringent condition is that 'only Sun Wukong can use it'.

This condition greatly reduces the difficulty of constructing the ritual - after all, you are already Sun Wukong, so there is no need to covet Erlang Shen's power, right?
Besides, you, Sun Wukong, have 72 transformations, can't you just transform yourself? You don't need this mask at all!
In other words, the only person who really needs this mask is someone who does not possess the power of Sun Wukong but can be regarded as Sun Wukong according to the rules.

This is the divine weapon tailor-made for Shirou at this moment!

Of course, the final step in the construction is the question of 'duration'.

Of course this thing cannot be preserved permanently.

This is not Shirou's previous 'Making a mask of Hercules as a Servant on the Berserker side'.

Instead, he used Erlang Shen, the god, as a reference - in the absence of any raw materials, he used Odin's power to forcibly "rub" it out!
Therefore, whether the duration is effective or not is a real test of Cu Chulainn's ability!
[The "Mask of Godhood - Erlang Shen" made by Cu Chulainn (Odin), in terms of usage time.]

【1/3/4/5/6、进行1D12的判定，看看能用多少个回合】

[2/7/8/9, the time it can last for a battle on a conceptual level. Because the production process referred to the legend of the duel between Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen, this "battle" is limited to "a certain enemy (when using it against Storm King Arthur or against Athena? Only one of the two)" - In order to achieve this, Cu Chulainn needs to perform additional magic judgments.]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=2】

Shirou: "?"

Regarding the choice of plan, Cu Chulainn did not communicate with Shirou, but chose the "radical plan" on his own.

In Cu Chulainn's opinion, compared to the conservative plan of 'using the mask of the godhead with a limited usage time (determine how many rounds it can be used)', it is better to choose a radical plan that is risky, but if successful, it will give him a huge advantage in the duel with the Storm King and Athena.

But Cu Chulainn still explained: "Although my spiritual base has collapsed due to the use of magic that exceeds the upper limit of my spiritual base, I am not someone who can be easily eliminated.

I will not quit because of making the mask of godhood.

It will only damage their spiritual foundation and greatly reduce their strength, but they can still provide certain support from the rear.

However, if I fail to make the conceptual mask of 'sustained a duel', I will incorporate my own spiritual base as material and force it to succeed - the price is that my role in this story will end here, and I will exit from here, and the rest is up to you.

Of course, conceptually, since my spirit is integrated into the mask, I can be considered to be present until the mask disappears."

Cuchulainn explained.

In other words, the judgment here is not so much about whether the radical plan of making the divine mask can be successfully completed, but rather about whether Cu Chulainn will retire at this point.

The mask would certainly be completed, but would Cuchulainn have to retire in order to create it?
Shirou thought about it and felt that Cu Chulainn made this high-risk choice, in addition to his confidence and arrogance, it was also influenced by what Shirou had mentioned before: I have the means to deal with the gods. Shirou was not lying, he did have the means to deal with the gods. Theoretically, even without Erlang Shen's mask, he still had a chance of winning against Athena, but overall, Shirou was definitely at a disadvantage in terms of power.

Shirou was used to this kind of challenge from a higher level.

However, if Shirou can defeat Storm King Arthur directly and keep the mask of the godhead for use in the battle with Athena.
Even if the time drags on and the dragon god body that Athena creates for herself becomes stronger, the advantage will be on Shirou (Erlang Shen)'s side.

The question is, without using cheats (Erlang Shen), how can Shirou defeat Arthur, the Holy Grail Storm King with infinite magic power, alone?

This is a very important trade-off.

But Shirou, of course, was more concerned about—

(Without Cu Chulainn, or even if Cu Chulainn's strength decreases, Ritsuka and Olga Marie, who are assigned to deal with the archers, will be under greater pressure. No, their lives will be more threatened, and they are the ones who bear the greatest risk.

Is there any solution that can properly handle both situations?
Um?)

Shirou was stunned for a moment: It seems that it really exists.

But that method is a one-time tool, it's gone after it's used up.
While Shirou was thinking——

Cu Chulainn has given his magic result!
[Cuchulainn attempts to create a 'Divine Mask - Erlang Shen' that can 'conceptually last a whole duel' - making an extremely difficult judgment]

[If it fails, Cu Chulainn will merge his own spiritual base into it and force it to complete - the price is that Cu Chulainn will be out of the game, and there will be one less combat force in the subsequent battles.]

[Of course, even if it succeeds, because he forcibly used a power far beyond the limit of his spiritual foundation and seriously crossed the line, Cu Chulainn would still be in a state of serious combat damage, and it would be difficult for him to fight on the front line, and he could only participate in the battle as a rear support.]

[Difficulty: 90]

[Cuchulainn's 'Magic/Power·Bard God (Forced Cross-Bounds Drive)': 1D100=95 (Is this the value of Wrathful Odin!?)]

--stable!

So stable!
Cu Chulainn Odin, who was completely annoyed by Athena, showed his talent worthy of the title of "God of Bards"!
'Divine Mask: Erlang Shen'——Production Completed!
There is no strict time limit, but there is a conceptual effect of 'maintaining an entire duel'!

If Shirou uses it to fight Athena, let alone a battle of three hundred rounds, even if the battle goes to the edge of the universe and the avenue is wiped out, it can still maintain its effect!
Although it can only be used on 'one target'.

But it is undoubtedly the winning trump card!
Cu Chulainn couldn't help but smile with pride.

Those who understood the ins and outs of this - Leonardo da Vinci and Olga Marie - could not help but admire it.

Custer, who had not forgotten his identity as a magician, also pretended to understand and clapped and said "Congratulations!".

——It’s a pity that Shirou’s attention is not on this at the moment.

Although Cu Chulainn successfully completed the task, it was not a great success, so his spiritual base fell into a broken state due to the side effects of overusing the power of Odin.

Now he was relying on Cu Chulainn's own super strong 'Battle Continuation' skill to barely maintain his spiritual foundation and prolong his life.

As a Caster, he can no longer participate in the frontal battlefield and can only provide support from the rear.

Shirou sorted out the subsequent combat operations.

Shirou himself holds the power of 'Erlang Shen' as a backup, which provides him with a reliable backup in the two consecutive battles between Storm King Arthur and Dragon God Athena.

However, the archer will not participate in the frontal battlefield, but will harass from a distance - so Shirou's team needs to divide their forces to deal with her.

Ritsuka and Olga Marie This is too dangerous for them.

If there was a way to repair Cu Chulainn's spiritual foundation, she could go face Cu Chulainn directly, right?

So the question is, does Shirou have this method?
It’s true!

That is the wonderful potion that Miss Gamesh gave to Shinji, and then Shinji gave to Shirou out of the reliable friendship between men!
It'll just be a small price to pay.

It's just that Mr. Cu Chulainn made it clear not long ago that he didn't want to use that.

So should Shirou use it or not?
[As long as the 'Wonderful Potion' is used, Cu Chulainn's spiritual base can be repaired and his fighting power can be restored - this way, Ritsuka and Olga Marie will not have to bear the huge risk of the 'archer battle' they are in charge of.]

[But Cuchulainn himself had clearly expressed that he did not want to use that medicine before this]

【Shirou's choice is.】

[1. Respect Cuchulain’s choice]

[2. Respect, respect, how can human life be more important!? Shirou launches a sneak attack! (Confrontation decision)]

【1D2=2】

Shirou felt that respect or dignity was more important than the safety of human life.
Besides, if Cu Chulainn recovered his full fighting strength, they would have a better chance of winning, right?

Didn’t Cu Chulainn himself say something like “I only respect victory!” before?

it is good!
Shirou decided that it would be meaningless to keep Miss Gamesh's miraculous potion in his hand all the time, he had to use it when it was needed!

——Besides, Shirou's intuition told him that putting Ritsuka in danger would be a very dangerous thing.

For this reason! No matter how standard the medicine is, it is useless to keep it to yourself! You should use it when you need it!

Shirou took advantage of Cu Chulainn's pride and launched a sneak attack on him!
[Shirou's 'sneak attack': 1D100=68]

[Cuchulainn's 'Reaction': 1D70 (because of the damaged spiritual base, the upper limit is reduced) = 65]

It seems that Shirou is not good at this kind of thing.

But Cu Chulainn suddenly reacted and realized what Shirou was going to do, and immediately screamed: "Don't come over here!!!"

But it's too late!
While everyone was stunned by the sudden "battle of life and death", Shirou had successfully used the "Strong Man Lock" on Cu Chulainn from behind, and then stuffed the bottle of magic potion that he had kept, which could repair the body and revive it to full health at a very small cost, into Cu Chulainn's mouth.

"You! You red guy! Emiya Shirou! I knew you and I have the worst compatibility—"

Cu Chulainn did not finish his words.

In full view of everyone, the effect of the potion took effect. Cu Chulainn's originally broken body shattered into countless spirit particles on the spot, and those golden spirit particles began to reassemble under the effect of the potion.

Shirou shook his head. "I remember that in Celtic stories, you 'heroes' are basically all men and women, right? It's just that you have to temporarily change your body to protect other girls. Why are you reacting so strongly?"

Indeed, Shirou really couldn't understand why Cu Chulainn was so resistant.

However, this question was quickly answered by 'the person':

"If it was just a simple temporary transformation into a female body, given Cuchulainn's personality, he wouldn't be so resistant.

However, the Caster spirit base he used this time was the one that Odin made based on himself as a template, and then gave to Cu Chulainn to use.

The effect of your potion is "refreshing the body" when used on a living person, and "refreshing the spirit" when used on a servant.

In other words, after the 'refresh judgment', what will appear is not the 'female Cu Chulainn' - but the 'female Odin', which is actually equivalent to Cu Chulainn's direct exit.

He would rather die in battle than have to leave the battlefield early for such an absurd reason and not be able to participate in or directly watch this amazing battle. "

When Cu Chulainn stood up again -

She was no longer Cuchulain.

The physical features that belonged to Cu Chulainn were completely gone, and his blue hair turned into dazzling blond.

"Since the effect of Cu Chulainn's existence disappears after the 'Refresh Judgment', I should also introduce myself again."

Caster, who looked like a one-eyed girl, reintroduced herself to Shirou and the others:
"I am the same sky god as Odin, I am the same prophet as Odin, I sit on the Nordic throne that only Odin is qualified to sit on with Odin.

——I am Frigga
I am Odin's wife, Odin's profile, Odin's half, and as the many names we share mean - I am 'the female Odin.'"

Shirou: “.” I don’t quite understand what you said, but it seems pretty impressive.

"What do you mean by refreshing the judgment, Cu Chulainn no longer exists, and it becomes Female Odin? Isn't it Female Cu Chulainn?"

Frigga shook her head: "Because the owner of this spirit base is not Cu Chulainn, but Odin (myself) used Odin (myself) as a template to mold a god-level Caster servant spirit base in order to support Cu Chulainn, and then used magic effects to let Cu Chulainn use it.

But because of that potion, after the judgment was refreshed, the magic effect of letting Cu Chulainn use the spirit base was lost, and in the end it became a subtle situation where Odin (I) appeared in the world. It can be said that I (Odin) took advantage of the loophole in the mechanism of the Heroic Spirit Summoning System. "

Olga Marie, as a magician, seemed to have thought of something when she saw this scene. "I know that Frigga is often regarded as the 'female Odin', but is your situation a return to the principle of sex? Odin is Frigga? Are they actually the same person? It is normal for a being of the Great God's level to transcend the gender concept of mortals."

Leonardo's idea is more personal: "Is Frigga a female android created by Odin? In fact, investigations in magic archaeology have found that the Valkyries, who are the daughters of Odin, are not the daughters of Odin or other gods, but android female warriors created by Odin with the genes of other gods mixed in.

Are you the Valkyrie that Odin created by adding his own factors?"

Frigga did not directly answer these questions, but said: "I am also the Valkyrie King, the Valkyrie who rules over the Valkyries."

The topic was lightly skipped.

It seems that he does not want to reveal the secret of his relationship with Odin.
[What is her real identity as she calls herself 'Frigga'? ]

[1/8, Odin's 'wife (female version of himself)']

[2. Odin's twin sister when he was still a mortal magician before he became a god]

[3/4/6/7, originally they were different goddesses, but because they were considered as 'female Odin' in the legend, they were 'also considered as Odin in the rules']

[5/9, Odin created his own daughter (artificial human/Valkyrie Queen) as a prototype, so she is considered Odin according to the rules. Since Frigga is also considered female Odin according to the rules, she is also considered Frigga according to the rules. In fact, she is considered a family of three, and she is considered a daughter who inherited the characteristics of both her parents.]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=9】

Shirou: .?

Shirou tilted his head and found the point: "A daughter that Odin created based on himself? Why is she not a daughter born with Frigga? Could it be that Frigga and Odin are really the same person?"

Although Shirou knew that in mythology, Odin's wife was often referred to as 'Female Odin'.

But I didn't expect that the various unofficial histories of the myths themselves are already confusing enough - for example, Odin's eight-legged horse mount Sleipnir was born from Loki turning into a mare and the divine horse Svadirfarinus.

Unofficial history is already wild enough.

Is there any wilder secret in the official history?!
Hearing Shirou's subconscious complaint, the expression on the face of the girl who called herself 'Frigga' completely froze.

She looked at Shirou and made a shushing gesture. "These are forbidden matters. Since I am here to help you, please do not ask any further questions or dwell on them in your mind."

Li Xiang next to him wanted to say: It’s okay, the contents of your Norse mythology that have been made public are wild enough, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are even wilder secrets. It’s better to say that the versions that have been circulated are the versions that Odin doesn’t care about circulating - these are already outrageous enough! Super wild!
This shows that Odin himself is actually very open, even too open! Tell us what secrets you have!

But Frigga suddenly turned her head and stared at Ritsuka with strange, meaningful eyes.

Lixiang felt inexplicably uneasy and did not continue gossiping.

The others either didn’t understand Norse mythology very well, or were tactful enough not to point it out - after all, they were still friendly forces.

The girl who called herself Frigga sighed, "But the strength of this spirit base was originally adjusted to the level of 'ordinary god-level servant spirit base'. You still have to deal with the battle between the Storm King and Athena on your own - but I will deal with that archer."

She just changed the subject.

Only Caster focused on something different: "That is to say, although you are considered both Odin and Frigga according to the rules, you are actually their - or his - daughter, right? What about your own name?"

".Just call me Frigga."

"I know you can be considered Frigga," Kaster blinked curiously, "but what about your own name?"

"No, and there is no need." Frigga sighed repeatedly, feeling helpless. "This is also part of Odin's 'magic ritual'. I can be regarded as him/her, and that's enough - never mind, just for the sake of convenience, you can call me 'Othinus'."

She didn't seem to want to dwell on this issue. Othinus - this name is actually 'Odin', which is a variant of Odin's name in different regions.

Leonardo da Vinci did see through something a little bit.

Assuming that Odin was a magician with similar ideas to himself, when he predicted that Ragnarok would eventually come and that he would die in it, he created such a "backup of himself" either to resurrect in her body after his death, or to let her inherit his work.

Leonardo da Vinci created little Leonardo da Vinci for this very reason.

However, regardless of the content of the story of Ragnarok in real Norse mythology, magicians all know that Odin is still alive.

Maybe some other means were used to avoid the fall of the gods, or maybe the "Ragnarok" predicted in Norse mythology has not yet arrived?
If you think in this way, the girl in front of you who can be regarded as Odin is like a "sacrifice" made to deal with Ragnarok.

Perhaps it was because of this that Custer unconsciously showed an unexpectedly strong curiosity?
However, the one-eyed Odin (daughter) focused more on Shirou and Ritsuka, and seemed to care more about them.

The girl who was both Odin and Frigga, but also neither Odin nor Frigga—Caster, who had no real name and temporarily called herself "Othinus," urged Shirou to divert everyone's attention from herself, "If there is nothing more to prepare, then let's start the battle."

In response to this, Shiro.
Shirou looked at the 'Divine Mask - Jilang Shen' that Othinus handed to him.

I recalled what Cu Chulainn (Odin) had sung before.

Taking advantage of the ambiguous relationship between Shirou and Son Goku

The Ambiguous Relationship between Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen

Thus, Shirou is connected with Jilang Shen. Magic is really amazing.

[Can Shirou gain useful inspiration from Odin's magic principles? ]

[Difficulty: 90 (Shirou is not good at magic, so the difficulty is increased)]

[Shirou's 'Inspiration': 1D100=95]

".No, there is one more thing I want to try to prepare."

Shirou pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke:

"Since I have a vague relationship with Sun Wukong, I can connect it to Erlang Shen.
Then, can Caster, my weapon, also be connected to Sun Wukong's weapon?

Over the years, I have not been able to find a way to directly drive the power of the golden cudgel.

But in the story of Journey to the West, there is another weapon that can be regarded as the golden hoop stick, a weapon that is similar to the golden hoop stick but not the same as it!"

What is it?
That is the weapon in the hands of the six-eared macaque that appeared in the story of "The True and False Monkey King"!

"——'Follow the Heart Iron Soldier (Ruyi Jingu Bang)'"

"With reference to the golden hoop in my body, I want to try to make Custer's forging more similar to and imitate the golden hoop, so that she can become a 'Follow-hearted Iron Soldier' - in this way, perhaps the power of the golden hoop can be triggered!"

Roman heard the implication of Shirou's words: "Do you want to kill Storm King Arthur by yourself, instead of just delaying Arthur and waiting for the other side to deal with the archers, and then come back to cooperate?"

"If we delay, something unexpected will happen. No one knows what the unexpected will be. This is the best option, right?" Shirou replied.

Custer scratched his head, looking cheerful as always: "I don't really understand that, but I'm the boss. Your weapon - or more precisely, the 'material for forging weapons', you can forge it into whatever shape you want. As an employee, I will of course cooperate with you!"

"Okay!" Shirou nodded.

That's confirmed then.

Regardless of whether Shirou succeeded in forging Caster into the 'Follow-Your-Heart Iron Soldier (Ruyi Jingu Bang)', he guided out some of the power of the 'Ruyi Jingu Bang' in Shirou's body and attached it to it.

After this, it’s time for the decisive battle!

--but

At this moment!
[Othinus's 'sneak attack': 1D100=51]

[Shirou's 'reaction': 1D100=38]

The moment Shirou's attention was focused on Caster!

——Soft touch
"That's just right - Odin (I) am also very interested in your past experiences."

——I don’t know if it was to retaliate against Shirou’s previous questioning, but she deliberately bit Shirou’s lip and drank his blood.

"As a price for my help, please let me (Odin) know your past - and, please give me (Odin) the information about the 'human magnet' martial arts as promised."

Of course, I didn’t forget to use magic projection for Athena to see.
