On how PhDs become human evil

Nodding with his chin in his hand, Bai Jie laughed heartily.

"Anyway, Sirin, you should take that stupid, idiotic Saber's head off first. I want to see what's wrong with her."

To change history.

This is absolutely taboo in the realm of time and space. If it is an incorrect history, that's fine, but if it is a correct history that is being modified, it will inevitably have an impact on the future, and it will definitely be a negative impact!

Bai Jie also carries the mission of changing history. In order to prevent the future of the history he is in from becoming a Lostbelt, Bai Jie understands what consequences changing history will bring.

But what about Saber? She thinks she made a mistake and wants to go back in time to change history? How is that any different from a student discovering their answers are wrong after an exam and sneaking into an office to correct the paper?

With a raised eyebrow, Sirin sneered, "Oh? Human, I remember you were planning to have the man with dual pistols deal with her, right? Is it really okay for me to kill her?"

"I was just checking to see what was wrong with her brain. I can just put her head back in a bit, right?"

With a slightly surprised look at Bai Jie, Xilin suddenly covered her eyes and burst into maniacal laughter, her whole body trembling: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Human, you are so funny! If we're talking about people with mental problems, you are the one with the most problems!"

"You're no longer human; you're a devil in human form, but I love you, you devil!"

With her wings of light unfurling to a length of over ten meters, Sirin flew high into the sky. Countless void gates opened up in the sky like eyes, as if hundreds of round eyes were looking down on the earth.

Within the void gate, countless three-person-sized sub-void spears are poised to strike.

Sirin's action immediately startled Artoria and the other two. Gilgamesh was the first to stand up, the gates of the Gate of Babylon swung wide open, and he questioned with boundless rage: "You dare to interrupt the King's Feast? You really want to die, you bastard!"

As soon as Gilgamesh finished speaking, nearly a hundred Noble Phantasms burst forth from the Gate of Babylon behind him!

With a disdainful smile, Sirin didn't even glance at the incoming Noble Phantasm. She directly summoned several Honkai Beasts to defend against the attack, and then waved her hand to pull down a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket from the sky, which struck Artoria like a pillar of strength!

“AAALLAAAAAA!!!”

A roar resounded, and the rolling, divine wheel of might appeared beneath the Conqueror King in an instant. The raging lightning, accompanied by the wheel's rotation, transformed into a torrent and clashed with Sirin's lightning strikes.

"May I take your actions as a provocation against the three of us, Queen of another world?" Iskandar asked in a deep voice.

"Think what you want, human. All I want is to take Saber's head off over there, but if the three of you are planning to die together, I'm not unwilling to give you that chance."

King Arthur, the King of Conquerors, the King of Heroes.

These three kings alone are enough to crush most heroic spirits, let alone when the three of them join forces. Where did Sirin get the courage to make such a boast?

The next moment, they understood.

"GGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"

From the void gate directly below Sirin, a terrifying roar erupted, and a swaying dragon's head slowly emerged from it, followed by a massive blizzard that swept down from the dragon's mouth!

"Stop being so arrogant! You bastard!"

From within the Gate of Babylon behind Gilgamesh, a [huge thing] appeared.

—The dawn horizon, a scene of utter devastation and destruction!

Also known as the "Sea-Slaying Sword," this divinely crafted weapon is composed of lava-like mountain peaks and a blade of pure fire. It can even scorch and purify the vast ocean, and it possesses the concept of a "horizontal line."

This is the end of the sky and the sea, the ultimate realm of melting and mixing.

If we were to give this place the direction of dawn, it would mean that the furnace that melts all things, the ceaseless pulsation, is the purifying flame that transforms everything that is burned and cleansed into one.

Before this crimson sword flash, good and evil, the sky and the sea, enemies and hostile things all equally dissolve and vanish in the dawn.

And now, this divine weapon, which was wielded by the god of war in Mesopotamian mythology, has been launched like a cannonball!

"Boom—!"

The sky was dyed red!

The crimson meteor, capable of evaporating even the boundless ocean, completely captivated everyone's attention. In this scene that seemed to cleave the heavens and earth, even heroic spirits had to take defensive measures to avoid being burned.

The flash lasted only a few seconds before the blizzard was undoubtedly crushed and destroyed. Just as Gilgamesh was about to unleash a smug smile and taunt the blizzard—

Section 117, Chapter 19: Calculating to the Death

"Pfft—!"

The sound of a blade slicing into a body rang in everyone's ears. Gilgamesh and Iskandar involuntarily widened their eyes, while Artoria stood frozen in disbelief.

A wound appeared on Artoria's waist, and blood had already stained her clothes.

The one who made this move was Bai Jie, whose greatsword-shaped Heavenly Fire Judgment was burning fiercely in his hand.

"Are you a little more awake, Saber?" Bai Jie said coldly, a violent red light flashing in his eyes. "Think before you speak. Don't just throw around the idea of ​​changing history. I hate thoughtless statements the most, you idiot!"

Bai Jie had also fantasized that if he developed a device that could travel back in time, could he go back to Chernobog to save ACE? After careful consideration, he ultimately rejected the idea.

ACE's death made him realize the cruelty of war. If he hadn't experienced ACE's sacrifice, he wouldn't have developed such a tenacious will and grown up so quickly in such a short time.

People only mature after they lose something.

Saber, however, did not mature after losing her; she merely fantasized about beautiful things and pursued an impossible ideal world.

"Hahahahaha!"

Unexpectedly, it was neither the Conqueror King nor Sirin who burst into laughter, but Gilgamesh, who was originally furious.

"You truly delight me, you bastard! Not only did you order your servant to take on three opponents single-handedly, but you even managed to ambush Saber while my attack was in progress—"

“I wasn’t talking to you. Shut your shit-eating mouth, Kim Pikachu.”

Bai Jie showed Gilgamesh absolutely no respect, his words practically overflowing with profanity, almost making Sirin in the sky burst out laughing.

On the ground, Gilgamesh, who had been interrupted by Bai Jie, was furious. When had he, the King of Heroes, ever been treated like this? Was his royal majesty really less than that of a little girl?

(Author's note: The translation is—why would you rather look at women than me? This translation sounds a bit gay.)

A vast expanse of golden ripples spread out behind Gilgamesh, and more than a hundred Noble Phantasms were aimed at Bai Jie. Upon seeing this, Sirin immediately tried to fly over to protect Bai Jie, but Bai Jie looked straight at Gilgamesh and said, "Trust me, you can't kill me."

"Are you saying I'll miss?"

Gilgamesh was so angry he laughed. Bai Jie was definitely the most audacious person he had ever encountered in the mortal world!

"I regret to inform you that I will not shoot—"

Before Gilgamesh could finish speaking, he vanished in a burst of light particles.

This phenomenon is familiar to everyone, because Gilgamesh also disappeared in the same way on the first night of the Holy Grail War—a forced recall by Command Seals.

"Tokiomi Tohsaka is unusually cautious. In his view, repeatedly revealing his strongest trump card is an extremely foolish act. Therefore, in order to prevent Gilgamesh from revealing his trump card again, he will definitely recall Gilgamesh—everything is as I expected."

Artoria, clutching her waist, and the Conqueror King had only one thought in their minds: This kid is incredibly cunning!

First, he had Sirin make a bold provocative move to anger Gilgamesh, forcing him to use his wide-range Noble Phantasm. Then, while everyone's attention was diverted, he unexpectedly injured Artoria.

Next, further provoke Gilgamesh, use clever words to get him to use the Gate of Babylon, and then make Gilgamesh's Master waste another Command Seal due to his cautious mindset.

Bai Jie had a perfect grasp of Gilgamesh's personality, actions, and his Master's personality!

"What a terrifying kid, with such a deep and cunning mind." Iskandar gasped. In his opinion, Bai Jie was definitely the kind of person who was incredibly reliable as a friend, but terrifying as an opponent.

A keen insight like a magic mirror, the fearlessness to put oneself in dire straits, an accurate grasp of human nature, and intricately linked schemes—these are the skills Bai Jie honed as a Rhodes Island doctor in the world of Terra.

However.....

(Holy crap, that scared me to death! Thank goodness I made the right bet! If Tokiomi Tohsaka had been any bolder, I would have been finished!)

Bai Jie's back was now soaked with sweat. He seemed to have everything under control, but he was actually gambling. He was gambling that Gilgamesh wouldn't kill him immediately, and that Gilgamesh's Master would be overly cautious.

If he lost, he would lose his life, but if he won, Gilgamesh's chances of winning would drop to the limit, and he won the gamble.

Having lost two Command Seals, Tokiomi Tohsaka no longer has any binding power over Gilgamesh. The remaining Command Seals only serve two purposes: maintaining the relationship between Master and Servant, or strengthening Gilgamesh in the final battle.

Of course, Tokiomi Tohsaka will no longer have the opportunity to use Command Seals.

(After tonight's events, Gilgamesh must be extremely dissatisfied with Tokiomi Tohsaka, which will mean the two won't be in the same place, giving me the opportunity to defeat them one by one.)

Gilgamesh will continue to act alone, but there's no need to worry about him. Tokiomi Tohsaka will definitely continue to stay in his base, which is either the church or the Tohsaka mansion.

What? How does Bai Jie know about Tokiomi Tohsaka's relationship with the church? Does he really think that Phantom Thief Kallen is just good at talking nonsense?!

Once Tokiomi Tohsaka's location is known, he becomes an easy target when he is alone. The Church and the Tohsaka Mansion have already arranged drones to keep an eye on him. As soon as Tokiomi Tohsaka is alone, the Kingslayer and Red will be dispatched to capture him and make him use a Command Spell to make Gilgamesh commit suicide.

A perfect plan!

"Alright, the troublesome guy is gone. Let's get back to what you're saying, Saber." Bai Jie hid his expression and looked at Artoria with a cold face. "Of course, there's really nothing to say. I really don't want to waste any words on a little girl like you who only knows how to dream."

"What did you say?!" Artoria was so angry that even her ahoge (cowlick) stood on end. "You called me a little girl? Are you insulting me?"

"Isn't that right? Your thoughts are just as boring as that flat chest of yours!"

Artoria immediately felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her eyes were filled with rage as she looked at Bai Jie. If it weren't for Sirin watching from above, she would have already grabbed a curry stick and chopped at him!

(Hey kid, you two know each other well, right? Is his personality really that bad?)

(I don't know, Fafnir was perfectly normal when they were at the clock tower.)

The Conqueror King and Waver looked at the two men with embarrassment.

As if he didn't want to waste any more time talking to Artoria, Bai Jie pouted, waved to Sirin, and was then teleported to Benares by Sirin using spatial teleportation.

"Thank you for giving me such a good show, especially Saber. I really hope I can see that frustrated look on your face again next time we meet."

Sirin smiled happily and then flew away with Bai Jie on the Benares.

P.S.: Update—By the way, this chapter has 2233 words, a perfect number.

P.S.: It's pouring rain here, the roads are flooded, so I have to order takeout. A bowl of fried noodles costs 15 yuan, so expensive! ┭┮﹏┭┮

Section 118, Chapter 20. Um, the bugs have to die, right?

When it comes to the magic families in Fuyuki City, the first family that usually comes to mind is the Tohsaka family, which manages the spiritual veins of this land. Their ancestors not only studied under the Jewel Mage, but also had connections with the famous Norse family, Edelfelt. Therefore, although they live in a remote place like Japan, they are still quite famous in the Clock Tower.
