Luo Wei suddenly remembered that this was a side effect of his trip to hell.
Seeing Luo Wei moving around, the scantily clad woman quickly stepped forward to help him up: "Don't move, benefactor. Your injuries are really severe. Although there seems to be something miraculous healing you, this is the first time I've seen someone so burdened with sins and with symptoms that make them look like they're being roasted alive."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Luo Wei glanced at his chest, where a pulsating ball of colorful light was undoubtedly Avalon, the one that was keeping him hanging on by a thread.
Otherwise, after all that turmoil, his current situation would definitely be much worse than it is now.
"Thank you for saving me, Holy Monk."
Looking at the monk in front of him, Luo Wei nodded his thanks and recognized the monk's identity.
"No, no, no, this humble monk is unworthy of the title of Holy Monk." The woman named Sanzang Master quickly waved her hand and said, "Compared to your great deeds of bearing the sins of an entire world all by yourself, what I have done is nothing. The reason I met you is because I sensed the boundless sins that I was trying to redeem, so I just happened to be passing by."
Luo Wei realized that it was probably when the torrent of evil in this world surged forth that this Tripitaka Master came to save him, but he had dealt with her in advance. So she happened to meet him on her way here, when he was being tortured to the point of near death, and then she came to his rescue.
...Perhaps this is fate.
"Oh, right, I haven't introduced myself yet." The Tripitaka Master remembered something, put his palms together, and introduced himself: "This humble monk is named Xuanzang Sanzang. I come from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East and am going to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha and seek scriptures."
"So you are the Tripitaka Master." Luo Wei nodded and said, "My apologies, I am Luo Wei, you can just call me by my name."
“Very well, Benefactor Luo Wei.”
Upon hearing this, the Tripitaka Master nodded, then asked with some curiosity, "Benefactor Luo Wei, you seem to know this humble monk, and have even heard of Mahayana Buddhism?"
"So the Great Compassion Mantra is Mahayana Buddhism?"
"Of course, this is a genuine scripture that this humble monk obtained from the Great Thunder Temple, and it is naturally Mahayana Buddhism."
“I’ve only heard of you. As for fate… it’s probably because my father has some connection with the Awakened One, so he knows some things about you,” Luo Wei replied.
"Ah? You, no... Luo, Luo Wei, your father actually knows my master? May I ask him, which celestial being is he?" Master Sanzang asked, his eyes wide.
Luo Wei remained silent, but gently lifted his hair, letting the monk Sanzang glance at his thorny scars; the answer was self-evident.
“…No wonder.” Xuanzang laughed upon seeing this. “No wonder you can bear such a great sin alone, and remain so pure. You are the successor of that one. When I first met you, I thought that Benefactor Luo Wei was imitating Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.”
"I don't have the grand vow of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to not become a Buddha until hell is empty. I just enjoy this convenience, so I have to take responsibility."
Luo Wei smiled and said.
At first, he was delighted by the unique power of the Cross and the convenience of being a son of God. But after the revelation last night, he realized that the pigeons overhead were petty and wouldn't let him get away with it.
No matter what hardships or difficulties he faces, he has to step up. It's true that with great power comes great responsibility.
Good news, the pigeon has high hopes for itself.
Bad news, Pigeon thinks highly of himself.
After all this, Luo Wei's status as the "God Child" was truly officially recognized. Although he lost the exclusive weapon that had helped him conquer the world, he could clearly feel that the fake God Child he had simulated had been officially recognized due to the power of Hell, Heaven, and faith, making him significantly stronger than before. Moreover, he seemed to have gained new insights into the Christian faith, and he now also possessed the revelatory abilities of Christian saints.
Luo Wei was not surprised that Sanzang would appear here, because Sanzang was summoned by the singularity and was not killed by the Lion King. The fact that they met here was probably due to the mutual attraction between the disciples or successors of the "Savior".
However, now is not the time to think about those things. He has other things to do, and now is the time to make a final stand.
Moreover, Artoria and Nitocris must still be worried about him; he needs to get back quickly.
Just as Luo Wei was about to get out of bed and leave, ignoring Sanzang's advice, a male voice suddenly reached his ears—
"You're awake already? That's great! I remember now, you're actually... Crowley, right?"
Just before Luo Wei got out of bed, a completely unfamiliar voice caught his attention. After hearing the commotion coming from inside, a knight in purple armor rushed in.
Chapter 201 Mashu, she's Daddy~
When they came to their senses, the purple figure had already excitedly entered the simple tent, successfully interrupting the friendly exchange between the two successors of [Savior].
Luo Wei glanced at the fully armed man, whose armor was purple, hair was purple, and even eyes were purple.
The last time I saw someone covered in purple was in Fuyuki City with my [Best Match], the purple-haired BB... I only saw her in person when we were working together, she's definitely not this purple-haired thug with a terrible reputation.
This is the second humanoid self-propelled gunner in Britain after Merlin, and his reputation is comparable to Merlin's.
"Last night, after I rushed back here, I dealt with the monsters wandering around the area. On the way, I happened to run into such a beautiful woman as the Sanzang Master. She was holding you in her arms in a hurry, so I brought you here. I thought we would never see each other again, but I didn't expect that our fate is really deep, Master of Lancer."
"Mr. Crowley."
After praising Sanzang, Lancelot plopped down on a chair on the ground.
"I knew it! My memory of you was a bit hazy when I saw you in Jerusalem. You looked familiar, but I just couldn't quite place you. It wasn't until I brought you back yesterday and examined you closely that I remembered. Aren't you Lancer's Master?"
"I never expected this. I just heard that another group of foreigners has arrived at this singularity, and one of them even passed the King's Holy Grail War. It turns out that one of them was you. Fate is truly full of wonders. Speaking of which, you really tormented me during that Holy Grail War. I never even recognized the King in the end. But, I guess that was a kind of punishment in itself..."
Lancelot spoke with great relish, a strange smile occasionally appearing on his face, along with a hint of nostalgia.
For him, that was one of the few pleasant experiences he had.
"...??"
Listening to what this guy was saying, Luo Wei frowned, feeling somewhat confused. Of course he recognized the guy in front of him as Lancelot, but the other party couldn't possibly be the Lancelot on his side. So how did he know the specifics of the Fourth Holy Grail War on his side?
"You didn't recognize me, did you?"
Seeing the confusion in Rowe's eyes, Lancelot thought he hadn't been recognized and was about to put on a helmet to cosplay as Mad Lancelot, but Rowe stopped him.
“Of course I know you, Lancelot. It would be strange if I didn’t, but…”
Luo Wei stroked his chin, looked at the purple knight in front of him who was looking very interested, and asked, "From any perspective, you shouldn't know me, right?"
"Could you be Lancelot from my world?"
"What...? Oh, that's what you're wondering about..."
Lancelot immediately understood the reason for Rowe's doubts.
Simply put, it's about the summoning of Heroes from the Throne of Heroes. Generally speaking, the Holy Grail War only summons Heroic Spirits who have ascended from this world to the Throne of Heroes. Take King Arthur as an example. On the Throne of Heroes, there are naturally countless possibilities for King Arthur in countless parallel worlds. However, in the Holy Grail War, under normal circumstances, only King Arthur from the Throne of Heroes will be summoned from this world.
Of course, there is also the possibility of summoning Heroic Spirits from other parallel worlds, such as King Arthur being summoned from the Throne of Heroes in this world to another world.
To draw an analogy: what if Kiritsugu Emiya summoned the Old Blade instead of Artoria, and Tokiomi Tohsaka summoned the Old Gilgamesh instead of Gilgamesh?
These are all low-probability events that may occur.
It can only be said that the Throne of Heroes is too mysterious; both its existence and its operating mechanism are beyond the comprehension of mages and heroic spirits. However, it can be explained simply using scientific knowledge, albeit in a very specific and complete way.
What Luo Wei is wondering now is—has Lancelot from his own world been summoned here?
"No, no, I'm not the Lancelot from your side, I just have that memory. But it's really strange. Theoretically, we shouldn't inherit memories of past appearances as Heroic Spirits, let alone memories from other worlds. However, the Holy Grail War that happened in your world's Fuyuki is very clearly preserved in the memory of the Heroic Spirit's original body on the Throne of Heroes. And it's precisely because that memory was shared with all of the Heroic Spirit's incarnations that I came to know you. This same memory also made me—"
"It is impossible to be completely loyal to such a [Lion King]."
Lancelot clenched his fist and said in a deep voice. At this moment, after realizing that this was the comrade-in-arms who had helped his Master end the nightmare in another world and who had planned and controlled the entire Holy Grail War, he began to explain his current situation in detail, as if he had found a confidant.
"During that Holy Grail War, I was shattered by Gilgamesh's Ea, but my soul remained in the Greater Grail, so I witnessed the entire war. Therefore, I naturally knew that the King had let go of the past and started his journey, and had also found peace with his life. That's right, the King owes Britain and us nothing; on the contrary, we owe the King too much. The King's liberation is simply the best ending."
Lovi understood what Lancelot was talking about; he was referring to the ending of Artoria's journey in another world. Originally, he wanted to die at Artoria's hands to find peace, but Lovi had pre-arranged for Artoria's death and had him thrown in front of Gilgamesh like a stray dog.
Although he didn't get what he wanted in the end, he still saw a good ending, and Lancelot naturally felt relieved.
It was a good ending, and it should have been like this—
"After the king of that world was redeemed, I slept soundly, my soul and mind at peace. But when I opened my eyes again and was summoned to my own world, I suddenly saw that our world's king had become what he is now, the goddess of the Wild Hunt and the Storm, and her personality had been greatly deified and extremely affected. Originally, I wanted to continue to serve her, but after witnessing her evil deeds, I realized that this was wrong. So now I hope to find out why King Arthur became a god and stop her!"
Listening to Lancelot's righteous and seemingly repentant words, Lowe could only tell that this traitor was indeed about to betray him again.
Although there was nothing wrong with what he did, Luo Wei also felt that this guy's loyalty was somewhat questionable, but he didn't know how to evaluate it.
What puzzled Lovi was that if Lancelot, who had participated in the Holy Grail War, knew him, then why didn't Hassan the Hundred Faces and the Lion King recognize him...?
What special attributes does he have?
After careful consideration, Luo Wei quickly came up with the answer.
The Lion King is a special Artoria; she can't even remember much of her memories from her previous life, and she isn't a deceased Heroic Spirit, so she didn't go to the Throne of Heroes to share her memories. Therefore, it's normal that she doesn't recognize herself.
Bai Mao Hassan had never seen him until he was tricked to death, so how could he possibly know him?
After much thought, it's truly amazing that only Lancelot knows me in this singularity.
"So it turns out there's such a connection between you two benefactors? It's truly a sign of destiny..."
The Tripitaka Master, who had been silently watching the reunion of these comrades across the world, put his hands together and softly murmured, "Amitabha."
"Yes, fate is so wondrous, Venerable Tripitaka."
“There are no coincidences in this world; everything that happens is inevitable. Tripitaka Master, perhaps even our meeting was arranged by the Awakened One and my father.” Luo Wei smiled at this.
“My master… he could indeed have arranged it that way.”
Sanzang did not deny this.
After all, the Sage had taken good care of her during the journey to the West; otherwise, she wouldn't have had to suffer so much.
“In that case, Crowley, I remember you took Kay and the others with you. Your rebellion will definitely continue, right? In that case, I’ll join you now. It seems we’ll be comrades-in-arms again this time.”
Lancelot, who was in a good mood after reuniting with his old friend, began to talk incessantly.
"Because of my rebellion in life, Agrave still doesn't trust me, which is why he banished me, sending me out to hunt down Mordred like Mordred. Besides that, I still have the mission of finding Mordred. However, I haven't been able to find any trace of Mordred recently, so after leading the Knights of the Righteousness sent by the Lion King to the Pharaoh and sending them to their deaths, I trained some trustworthy knights myself. Fortunately, the blessing bestowed upon me by the Lion King wasn't a blessing that led to madness, which allowed me to make the right decision. And after meeting you, my determination to stop the King from falling into depravity has become even stronger!"
Lancelot raised his sword with a heavy heart, a sentiment that both Loki and Sanzang could understand.
After all, it's really too difficult for a knight to wield his sword against the king.
However, Luo Wei felt that this guy was really hard to evaluate.
It is said that loyalty and righteousness are mutually exclusive since ancient times...
However, the others can actually occupy one of them to some extent.
This guy, Lancelot, first chose the Lion King over the Knights of the Round Table, choosing injustice; now he's preparing to betray the Lion King, choosing disloyalty.
He achieved neither loyalty nor righteousness through his own abilities, and instead accomplished something disloyal and unrighteous.
However, seeing how serious this guy was, Luo Wei only muttered it to himself and didn't directly criticize him.
"Speaking of which, the changes in you are quite obvious. Although I felt you were unfathomable during the Holy Grail War in your world, your current state is even more shocking. It's hard to imagine what you've been through..."
After all, Lancelot had brought Luo Wei back to his camp with Sanzang last night. After recognizing Luo Wei's true identity, Lancelot had taken care of him for a long time, but because he still had things to deal with, he didn't take care of him as long as Sanzang did.
Putting everything else aside, just the aura emanating from him, that terrifying sin that resembled an aggregate of evil, made Lancelot wonder if this was some kind of demon god descending to earth.
"It's nothing. I just completed a divine initiation ceremony and then usurped the throne as the Son of God. But the pigeons in the sky were so petty that they officially recognized me. I just finished cleaning up this mess of the singularity for you Knights of the Round Table and was preparing to go back to lead my troops to attack Camelot and capture the Lion King."
Lo Wei didn't intend to recount his deeds, glossing over almost everything. He no longer needed others' praise to gain satisfaction and honor; being himself was enough for him.
