In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

Clang!

With a thud like a heavy object falling to the ground, Osmandis's head began to roll towards the headless corpse lying on the ground.

Chapter 186 The Stage Officially Begins

The lingering fragrance of flowers, a fairyland on earth, lies beneath a high platform of an amusement park, where a sea of ​​flowers dances in the air.

Under the watchful eyes of the unknown, a white-clad magician stepped onto the screen.

"Oh dear, can you hear me? You, whom I've never met before. Or rather, you, the astrological person I'm destined to meet."

"Well, it doesn't really matter which one it is. The development of our world is so incredibly boring, so can I say a few words here?"

"..."

"Don't go, don't go, let me finish what I have to say, okay? And don't be so formal. I'm really not Meryl from your world, so I'm sorry I'm not a beautiful girl or anything like that. But even so, I understand why I was so captivated by you in that world. You're a strange alien, a god who ascended to godhood by divine will. In a way, your existence is like that of a bodhisattva. You're an outsider, which makes you interesting."

"If the you in this world continues to enjoy talking nonsense and keeping people in suspense, then I think you can be buried. Using Avalon as a medium to enter my dream, I think you're not just here to spout nonsense, are you?"

A white-haired magician said, "Of course, of course, you are really not cute at all, but even so, your unique form is enough to make me obsessed."

"Actually, what I'm going to talk about next isn't myself, but a folk song that I heard by chance."

"Folk songs?"

"What I'm about to tell you is a future. The ending of a mysterious island that has fallen into the hands of fairies."

"Innocent people, please return. This is the bottomless Queen's City."

"Accumulate, accumulate, like rain, like dust."

"Disappear, disappear, like snowflakes, like a lie."

"They ignored our hopes, and now they are in the Queen's hands."

"But that only requires a little patience; the savior of a dynasty spanning countless ages will appear."

"The savior who connects fairies and humans, saving the world. Even if it was just a tiny ray of dawn, even if it was something no one could see, he was like a moth drawn to a point of light."

"The city of iron, the sea of ​​coal, the grievances of the gods—when calamity is defeated, the pilgrimage begins."

"Selected..."

"Stop right there, Merlin. This is the Sixth Singularity, not the Sixth Lostbelt."

Listening to the mysterious, mushroom-like language coming from this guy's mouth, Luo Wei's eyebrows twitched wildly. Anyone who didn't know better would think he had arrived in the land of fairies. He immediately interrupted the guy before he could finish speaking.

"Actually, it's pretty much the same for you. Although I don't quite understand the true meaning of these words either, since they were passed down from above, as a working-class older brother, I can only dutifully repeat them."

"Has no one told you that, Merlin? Your brain is like Merlin's, it seems like it has a hole in it."

"Oh, of course someone has said that, but none of them can outrun me or beat me."

Looking at Merlin, who had a smug look on his face amidst the sea of ​​flowers, Luo Wei's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the flower magician on his side, who was now a flower magical girl. He couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

"So I have no interest in getting involved in the future of this world or Lostbelts. That's a matter for your world. I'm from another world, and getting too involved is ultimately not a good thing. Just tell me directly where Artoria and Bedivere are. I'm also prepared to deal with this troublesome Sixth Singularity quickly."

"Oh dear, so eager? Nobody can predict the future. I think it's good for you to listen. If you really go, it might..."

"No need, I've already tasted enough."

Lowe waved his hand, refusing to discuss the rest with this guy.

"Let's get straight to the point, Merlin."

"Alright, alright... It seems you know more than I do. I'm so curious. But since you said you'd leave it to the people behind, I won't ask any more questions. You were just asking about Artoria and Bedivere's location and situation, right?"

"Yes."

Lo Wei nodded in reply.

“Okay, okay, let me think about it carefully… Bedivere’s body, soul, and spirit… all three elements of the trinity are rusted and he continues to wander. Not long ago, I released him from Avalon so that he, as a sinner, could fulfill the original agreement. This is the last chance.”

When Merlin mentioned Bedivere, the knight who made a mistake and ended up doing more harm than good, a hint of emotion appeared on his face.

"Moreover, I have confirmed with him that no matter what the outcome is this time, he will definitely die, exhaust his soul, break free from the cycle of reincarnation, and his very meaning will fall into nothingness. But even so, he embarked on the journey without hesitation. To be honest, although there are no special emotional factors involved, I quite like that guy. It was truly helpless to watch him disappear like that. If I had known about this change in you beforehand, handing the Holy Sword to you would probably have solved the problem long ago."

"It's pointless to dwell on these things now, Merlin. Although I can solve problems the fastest, it's ultimately inappropriate for me to solve some things. The one who tied the knot must untie it. My solution only resolves the issue at the event level, but I can't help the people involved with their inner conflicts and souls."

"In that case, even if the matter is resolved, the obstacles in their hearts will not be overcome."

"Yeah, you're right... I doubt he'd agree to this even if I brought it up."

Merlin nodded, then looked at the young man in front of him with some surprise and said, "To be honest, I really don't understand your form of existence. You have already begun to assimilate into the Holy Spirit, and even though you have acquired divinity, your humanity has not been weakened in the slightest."

"Logically, you should gradually become like the Lion King, but you are not. You possess intellect, emotion, humanity, and divinity simultaneously. Your existence is truly complex and unfathomable. Is it because of your soul? Are you really like a Bodhisattva, an outsider who manages a galaxy? Well, I don't understand that level, but I've actually become interested in you, especially your soul..."

"If you keep acting like a jerk, I'll definitely slap you today."

Seeing Merlin sidling up to him and hearing his awful words, Lowe felt the atmosphere suddenly become tense, and then he stopped indulging in his nonsense.

Because he was in a dream at the moment, he only had a slight thought, and then a huge palm materialized directly above his head, which made Merlin nod repeatedly.

"Let's talk this out. Bedivere is almost here, and your Artoria arrived here hundreds of years ago. To find her way back, she went to Chaldea under my guidance, hiding her identity as a living person. She survived the Burning of Humanity and should be here soon! Let go of your big brother!!"

Merlin, who had been grabbed by Loewy, finally dared not continue his antics and quickly began to say whatever came to mind.

"You mean... Artoria is in Chaldea?"

"Yes, yes, yes, in this world, I saw someone accidentally enter this world, so I took the initiative to contact them, and then I found out that it was actually my old acquaintance Lily! Moreover, it was a completely different Lily style that I had never seen before."

Merlin nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, and then replied, "So I was thinking of taking her to... I mean, to live with her in Avalon, and to make up for the regrets and self-blame from back then, but Lily on your side really took me completely by surprise."

"She accepted my apology, which was over a thousand years late, with great composure. And this time, she didn't even draw her sword to kill me. She said that she had already forgiven me in her heart. She now has a new life and someone she cares about more. She wants to go back and reunite with him. She was so sensible that it broke my heart."

"I see..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Wei nodded slightly, then released his massive arm and planted Merlin upside down in the fertilizer-filled soil.

"It is true that I am late."

"...Pah! Isn't that right? Although I don't know how you managed to breed this kind of Lily, that ferocious British tyrannosaurus rex has turned into a beautiful woman with a great figure and appearance. Not to mention, her personality is the most rare kind ever! A unique specimen, a truly unique specimen!!"

"Why do you describe Artoria like a collectible figure..."

"Cough cough, I'm used to it, I'm just used to it."

Merlin scratched his head. Because he hadn't experienced pleasant emotions in this world, he was still somewhat awkward and hypocritical.

"But you're really amazing... I'm getting more and more envious of my counterpart on your side. If I were in that world, with someone like you, my life would definitely be very interesting. So, would you mind having another me? Big brother, I can do divination, prediction, swordsmanship, and everything else, plus I can warm your bed..."

--boom! !

Before he could finish his irritating words, Merlin was sent flying backward.

However, after his brief display of silliness, he didn't continue his pranks.

Merlin was clearly in a very good mood after encountering Rowe.

"Well, the night is still long, so let me tell you a story..."

He rubbed his body, which had been bent over by Luo Wei's punch, and continued weakly, "This time I'll tell the story of the king again, but not the Arthurian legend that we're all tired of hearing. Instead, it's the story of your Artoria's adventures in this world."

"..."

Luo Wei did not answer, but listened quietly to the story he had never heard before.

Then, the flowers gently floated before my eyes.

This time, Merlin did indeed put away his previous playful attitude, and then a stone table and chairs rose up between the two of them.

Then, amidst the soft whispers, a story that even Lo Wei had never heard of echoed in his ears.

……

……

The wonderful time of sleep lasted only a short while.

It was because Lovi sensed Merlin calling him that he found a spot in the Great Temple of Radiance and fainted. Nitocris was so frightened that she forgot to pay attention to Ramses II, who had been rolling on the ground for who knows how long, and picked up Lovi's body to examine him for a long time.

Having just experienced the infiltration of terrifying assassins, she assumed that King Hassan had killed Lovi by some unknown means, but the voice in her ear said...

"It's alright, he's just asleep. This kid's soul is incredibly tough; even my underworld can't take it in."

When Nitocris heard that familiar voice, she was startled and asked in a trembling voice.

"You, you are not... "

“Yes, I am Anubis. I was summoned when you offered your sacrifice, and there happened to be my blessings and authority in the Great Composite Temple of Radiance. So I sent my soul to take a look. Then I saw that kid who called himself Ra rolling on the ground for almost ten minutes, while you were still here with your lover, motionless.”

Behind Nito, a figure with a nearly identical appearance to her, except for white hair, spoke softly.

It was this sentence that startled Nitoblin, making him realize that Ramses II's head had already rolled quite a distance, and the guards outside were about to come in, so he had to clean up the scene.

Although Anubis suggested that instead of dealing with that arrogant boy named Osmandis, it would be better to let him suffer for a while now, since you've already fallen for him, you might as well sneak away and kiss him, or bring him into the room and make him yours.

Anyway, you're the Pharaoh, and you're still an unmarried young woman, so it doesn't count as remarriage. Besides, your original husband was a political marriage, and by the time you avenged your great enemy, your memories of him had almost completely disappeared, so the young you would almost certainly not appear. As for now, you don't owe him anything, so since you've fallen for him, just go for it.

Since you're a Heroic Spirit anyway, you can just treat it as a beautiful dream.

As for your question about whether he is the reincarnation of Moses, Nefertari, and your husband?

Anubis was also very honest when faced with this question.

She said, "If you think so, then he is."

"This kid's soul is immeasurable. It is the purest kind, without original sin. In ancient Egypt, his soul could make the gods in the sky fight. Even if he dies, he will surely become a chief god in the sky."

"And the shadows of the old friends you see are not an illusion, because what you are looking for is that lost beauty."

Admittedly, Nitocris was indeed somewhat tempted, but being timid by nature, she ultimately did not rush forward as Anubis had suggested. Instead, she shook her head repeatedly and went to help Osmandis reattach his head.

Anubis was so disappointed by this scene that he couldn't help but shake his head.

She couldn't understand why humans were so complicated. If you like something, just pursue it; if you want something, just get it. Gods are like that; they never bother to hide their joys, sorrows, and desires. Since the Pharaoh claimed to be the incarnation of a god, he should be the same.

However, seeing Nitocris's embarrassing state, she felt she might miss out, so...

Should I help her?

Anubis suddenly had a bold idea.

—If she finds an opportunity to take over his body, then pushes him away, and then returns the body to Nito, she can't refuse, right?

The so-called divine mindset is so simple and brutal; they never bother with scheming.
