On how PhDs become human evil

The moment Xilin's voice fell, a deluge of thunder crashed down from the heavens, and hundreds of thunderbolts covered the entire battlefield in a carpet bombing style!

In an instant, lightning crackled everywhere!

"Your Majesty...aren't we going a bit too far? What about the secrecy and mystery?"

Do you have the right to talk about me like that?

White, the mobile arsenal of the hand-crafted hybrid cannon, the key of the gods, and the throne of the gods.

Sirin, the Honkai incarnation who possesses five Herrscher cores and brings destruction wherever she goes.

It's practically impossible to keep these two from making too much noise during a fight!

"What a terrifying attack... and it doesn't even seem to be a Noble Phantasm." Diarmuid, who was completely unaffected by the lightning under Sirin's control, exclaimed in amazement. "Judging from the looks of it, it should just be a casual strike."

“It shouldn’t be magic either. If it were magic, my magic resistance would definitely work.” Artoria, her body slightly charred, looked at Sirin with a serious expression.

If such a massive attack is just a basic attack, then how powerful would she be when she gets serious?!

"I see. You truly live up to your title of Queen. Such powerful attacks come so easily to you. Could you perhaps be a Caster?"

So far, four Servants have appeared: Saber, Lancer, Rider, and Archer, who appeared briefly before. Assassin is another matter. The remaining Berserker could not possibly have such terrifying attack capabilities, so there is only one answer.

Sirin is a caster!

However, in reality, Sirin does not belong to any of the seven classes, not even the extra classes. Sirin does not have a class. If you have to say what her class is, it is herself. [Herrscher] is her class!

Unaware of this, Iskandar naturally assumed that Sirin was a caster.

"The world-renowned King of Knights, the imposing Knight Fiona, and the magician who is also a queen—what an exhilarating situation! But that's not enough!" Iskandar spread his arms wide. "We're not the only ones drawn here by the sounds of Saber and Lancer's battle! There are Servants hiding in the shadows, aren't there!"

"Heroic Spirits invited to the Holy Grail War, gather here now! Cowards who are afraid to even show their faces, lest you be humiliated by Iskandar, the King of Conquerors! Prepare yourselves!"

“Three people who don’t respect me and arrogantly claim to be kings have suddenly appeared overnight.”

A golden servant, clad in heavy golden armor and exuding an aura of royalty, appeared on a street lamp ten meters above the ground.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the Golden Servant curled his lip in extreme displeasure, revealing his contempt for the four Servants currently facing off.

“Even if you speak rudely, I, Iskandar, am still the world’s most famous conqueror.”

"The only true hero who deserves to be called a king is me; the rest are just bastards."

Boom! ...

Above the sky, unprecedented lightning stole everyone's attention! And along with the lightning appeared a raging storm comparable to a typhoon!

"Mongol? Who gave you the audacity to call me that? Human!"

Standing in the air, Sirin raised her hand towards the sky from a perspective that looked down upon the world. Lightning and storm instantly converged, transforming into a lightning tornado that rushed down, with no one else but the golden servant Gilgamesh as its target!

"Ah, he's completely angry. To make Sirin this angry, that Gold Servant's ability to provoke is top-notch, but..."

Bai Jie really wanted to say that from his angle he could clearly see what was under Xilin's skirt, but for the sake of his own life, he held back.

Xilin is in a bad mood right now, and he doesn't want to touch a bomb that could explode at any moment. Besides, it's quite nice to just enjoy the scenery.

What? You're asking why Bai Jie survived under those circumstances? Didn't he see that huge Judas right next to him?

Judah - Automatic Protective Mode!

P.S.: Update

P.S.: Sorry for the late update. I rewatched Fate/Zero this afternoon to reconcile the plot development and figure out the best time for Chen and Otto to appear. Also, my head was foggy from playing Night of the Full Moon all night last night, so this chapter isn't very good. Please forgive me.

P.S.: Please recommend, vote for me, and tip me! Didn't you say you wanted to turn me into a typing machine? Well then, bring it on!

Interlude 105: Lord Otto is about to arrive on the battlefield.

Otto Apocalypse, the highest bishop of Schicksal, has been a pillar of Schicksal for five hundred years, standing at the forefront of the fight against the Honkai, for which he sacrificed everything.

—Take the above as fact.

And now, Bishop Otto, whom we deeply respect and even wish we could knock out with a hammer so he wouldn't have to work overtime, is trapped in an abyss of sorrow from which he cannot escape.

Bottles of fine red wine were scattered all over the floor, books were lying haphazardly, and documents awaiting review were tossed around like waste paper... The once impeccably tidy office now resembled a garbage dump.

Meanwhile, our Bishop Otto was lying in this garbage dump, completely drunk and unconscious.

If this scene were photographed and circulated, the world's great figures would probably be shocked. In their eyes, the archbishop, who strategizes and wins battles from afar, could actually have such a shameful side!

But that's the truth. Otto is currently experiencing the lowest point of his life, and there's only one reason why he's in this state—

"Kallen... my Karen... my Karen..."

Anyone familiar with Otto knows that Kallen is the only person who can make Otto lose his composure. Otto is willing to do anything for Kallen. In fact, Otto has done all sorts of bad things in the past five hundred years in order to revive Kallen.

But just recently, he finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel for Kallen's resurrection!

Through the dimensional observation device developed by Bai Jie, Otto saw Bai Jie in the Holy Grail War, and naturally, he also knew exactly who Bai Jie was with.

Otto could swear on his life that even if he forgot everything, even if he became deaf and blind, he would never mistake that person! Because he had been searching for her for five hundred years!

Karen Kaslana, the woman Otto loved for five hundred years.

When Otto first saw Kallen summoned as a Servant, his joy was beyond words. But when he saw three Kallens appear together—

"One Kallen... two Kallen... three Kallen... awsl!!!!!"

According to Rita, who was with Otto at the time, Otto really died on the spot. The cause of death was suffocation. When he fell, he was even bleeding from his seven orifices. The scene was quite inappropriate for children.

If it were just that, Otto wouldn't be so sad. The problem is that after Otto returned with a new body, he saw Bai Jie, three Kallens, and a miniature version of Sirin shopping together.

Bai Jie was in charge of carrying the bags, while Original Sin Karen and Sister Karen took turns looking after Sirin. They looked just like a family.

Rita said that Bishop Otto was so angry that he was trembling all over, and then he fell straight down and didn't move. In the end, he had to be transferred to another body because the rescue was unsuccessful.

Changing bodies in one day is definitely the first time Otto has ever done this.

Since then, Otto has been despondent, locking himself in his office every day looking at Karen's photos, figurines, and videos, and drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

"boom!"

One day, the tightly closed office door was forcibly broken open from the outside, and Chen walked in through the hole, carrying Chi Xiao.

"How pathetic, Otto. I never thought you'd be so helpless."

"Heh... What brings you here? Are you here to laugh at me?"

“I don’t have that kind of free time, unless Rita asked me to come.” Chen pursed his lips. “To make a long story short, my husband seems to have flared up his old habits again in the other world. Although I know he will definitely have women on both sides in the future, I still think it’s better to give him a little nudge and not let him get too arrogant.”

"What does this have to do with me?"

“I’ve heard Bai Jie say before that he has been helping you revive Kallen, right? And he himself said that he supports you and Kallen getting together.”

(P.S.: Actually, I'm a fan of Otto x Kallen. Although Otto caused a series of tragedies, I think he truly gave his all for Kallen, and that love is admirable. I'm not against Sakura x Kallen, I'm just expressing my opinion.)

Upon hearing this, Otto's eyes, which had lost their luster, regained a slight spark: "You mean... the Doctor supports me?"

“I only overheard him mention it by chance, but it shouldn’t be wrong, which is why I agreed to let Rita come to find you.” Chen extended his hand to Otto. “Are you going to that world, Otto, to resurrect your lover?”

Resurrecting Kallen has been Otto's sole objective for the past five hundred years. Now that he possesses the Tranquility Gem of the Herrscher of Death, and White has already summoned the Heroic Spirit Kallen, with just a few more preparations, Kallen's resurrection is only a matter of time.

However, for some reason, even though it was a dream he had pursued for five hundred years, when the time came to realize it, Otto felt a sense of fear and panic.

He was afraid... afraid of seeing Karen.

Otto was well aware of his actions. Over the past five hundred years, he had become a complete demon, and his hands were stained with more sins, directly or indirectly, than anyone else's.

With such a long list of sins, does he really have the right to meet Karen (the saint)?

"Let's go see him..."

After much deliberation, Otto finally stood up.

Even knowing that he might be scorned, hated, or blacklisted by Kallen if she found out about his actions, Otto still wanted to see Kallen one more time.

P.S.: Update

P.S.: As I mentioned in the text, I'm a fan of the Orianna/Lianna pairing, so please don't criticize me in the comments or posts, and please don't post comments like "Well said, but I support Orianna/Lianna." Thank you.

P.S.: Requesting recommendations, monthly tickets, and donations! Where's that reader who said they'd turn me into a writing machine? Don't just make empty promises!

Section 106, Chapter 10: Large-scale littering incident

The lightning tornado, like a divine punishment, gathered in the sky into a spiral drill shape, and then suddenly descended like a beam of light. Within its attack range, Gilgamesh stood precisely at the very center!

Sirin's attack range wasn't very wide, so it was entirely possible to dodge it. However, Gilgamesh, as the oldest king of mankind, naturally couldn't make a move to dodge!

"Having seen my face, you not only don't kneel, but even dare to look down upon me and sit above me. Who gave you such audacity, you bastard!"

Golden ripples appeared amidst Gilgamesh's roar, and a dozen weapons radiating golden flames emerged from the ripples, each exuding an aura that sent chills down one's spine.

These weapons are all treasures!

Moreover, some of them are A-rank Noble Phantasms—Artoria, who wields Excalibur, can sense this.

The next moment, all their Noble Phantasms were unleashed!

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"

The Gate of Babylon displayed a rate of fire that was in no way inferior to that of a top-tier machine gun. With such a rapid rate of fire, each Noble Phantasm was like a cannonball, transforming into countless golden meteors that shot against the wind!

The two collided in an instant!

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

A deafening roar, powerful enough to shatter eardrums, swept across the terrifying explosion, accompanied by a violent storm that tore the earth apart! Even legendary figures like Artoria, Diarmuid, and the Conqueror King had to take a few steps back before this storm.

And this was merely a collision.

"Controlling lightning and storms simultaneously, you really remind me of something unpleasant. This sin that has displeased the king, you shall pay with your life!"

Being pressed down on his head, being looked down upon... these were things Gilgamesh hated most, and Sirin even used the power of wind, which reminded him of that annoying god.

It could be said that Sirin's every move was a minefield for Gilgamesh, and with layers of disgust piling up, Gilgamesh's killing intent towards Sirin had reached its peak!
