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

"so?"

"Since Lord Yoshitsune has agreed, then naturally I will too!"

"..."

For some reason, Luo Wei's words caused him to hallucinate a well-defined, burly man.

-

When they found Quetzalcoatl and Scáthach, these two battle maniacs felt an overwhelming sense of kinship.

Although Scáthach, as the Queen of Warriors, is naturally proficient in all martial arts and possesses formidable magical abilities, this does not mean she is weak in melee combat. Therefore, her friendly wrestling match with Quetzalcoatl can be described as a battle that took them from the gates of Uruk all the way to the city center. Their heart-to-heart exchange successfully satisfied these two incredibly thirsty goddesses, and they even came to acknowledge each other's worth.

They were now sitting on the walls of Uruk, drinking together. Scáthach, of course, readily agreed without hesitation after she pretended to flirt with Rowe under the influence of alcohol, and even put her arm around Rowe to drink with her.

As for Quetzalcoatl, Lovi got her completely drunk after pouring her wine made from the blood of the Holy Son and adjusting the alcohol content to be comparable to 96° eaux-de-vie, thus gaining her support directly.

Aside from being teased by his master and having to sign an IOU saying he'd pay it back later, everything else went relatively smoothly.

-

Next up is Anna.

When Lowe told Jingu about his story with Tiamat and everyone's choices, she showed an extremely complicated expression.

"Is he an idiot? How could he get involved with something like that..."

She said with some disappointment, "No matter how a monster changes, it is still a monster. Even if its original intention is good, it still cannot integrate into this world, otherwise it will only bring tragedy."

Anna sighed with a touch of melancholy, and it seemed as if she was also talking about herself while speaking of Tiamat.

"No, whether monster or human, every life has the right to pursue peace and happiness. As long as one possesses a kind heart that belongs to humanity, then any monster can become human—and what I need to do is help Tiamat realize this wish!"

"Helping a monster... become a real human? You really are a hopeless... idiot."

Hearing Rowe's words, Anna's eyes were slightly moved. She pulled down her hood, lowered her head, and whispered.

However, although Anna didn't say it, she ultimately chose to help Rowe realize this almost impossible wish, at a price—

Lovi wants to help her fight the Gorgon.

-

After that, only two Artorias remained.

-

"What are you talking about, darling? Another story about risking your life to save something? Those stories sound really cool, and I'll always stand by your side, but—"

Black Gun narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Wei, his own reflection shimmering in his gaze.

"Love, we will help you and trust you, but we will not unconditionally condone your continued recklessness."

She spoke calmly, "Ask yourself honestly, in the plan you've described, are you once again prepared to face the greatest enemy alone? Are you prepared to take the greatest risk again? Just like when you faced me alone back then..."

"After all—with great power comes great responsibility."

Luo Wei waved his hand and then began to back away.

"..."

Ignoring Lovi's self-serving sophistry, the two Artorias took another step forward.

“If it’s about helping, our guns will always be raised for you. But if you’re going to hide from us again and take the biggest risks by yourself, putting yourself in danger, we won’t allow it! Even if it’s a prison in the abyss, we won’t let you go, just like you did to us before!”

"..."

Two pairs of pupils, each a different color like a gemstone, were reflected in Luo Wei's eyes, their clear gazes unwavering.

Finally, feeling guilty, Luo Wei agreed to both of their requests.

By this point, he had successfully brought all the Servant forces that Uruk could unite, as well as Chaldea, into his plan. Even Ibaraki-doji, who had just recovered, was coaxed and tricked into joining reluctantly. Later, he used the Ten Commandments to connect with the will of the Temple of Time, wanting to talk to these Demon Pillars, who could serve as potential fighting forces, at the last moment.

Upon hearing his voice, the Demon Pillars, who had been idly squatting in the Temple of Time with nothing to do and whose outings had all failed to bring back any of their men, immediately erupted in excitement. Even the torture of Barbatos was abruptly halted.

You see, after confirming through various methods that they really couldn't get out of the Temple of Time, they used all sorts of self-rescue methods. They even thought of using the Gemstone that Goetia had stuffed into the exhaust vent. However, because the exhaust vent was also locked, the Demon Pillars were taking turns unlocking it, waiting for the Gemstone to help them escape.

However, when these lazy bums, who spent their days doing nothing but routine lock picking and beating up Barbatos, suddenly heard Rowe's voice, the temple's reaction was quite different from what Rowe had imagined.

All the demon pillars shouted his true name and wanted Lovi to help them release him. They looked just like swallows waiting for their mother to return to their nest, chirping and eager for food. Lovi was a little surprised. He didn't expect the Temple of Time to become like this. They were much more fanatical than the heroic spirits outside.

Later, Luo Wei took the initiative to make the request to them.

He could release them himself, but now he had a more important task for them to help him with. He hoped the Demon Pillars could help him, but it didn't matter if they didn't want to. If anyone longed for freedom and didn't want to participate in the battle with Tiamat and Goetia, he could break the contract with the Demon Pillars and release them back to the Inner Sea of ​​the Stars. As long as they didn't do evil, they could be free forever.

But upon hearing his words, the demon pillars all burst into tears, wishing they could flood the Temple of Time, while constantly chanting his mercy and the king's greatness.

they said:

"The king has truly changed; he has become even more benevolent and great than before."

"Oh my god!! The King is worried about us! The King is really worried about us!!!"

"Tiamat is nothing in front of the King and us!!"

"How can we back down? How can we back down?!"

"My king, use me as you see fit! No matter who the enemy is, I will bring you victory!!"

The demon pillars danced wildly, especially Barbatos, who had been beaten for a long time. He begged Lovi for a chance to show himself, but ended up being brutally beaten by the other sixty-odd demon pillars. They also told him that traitors were not worthy of winning the king's favor.

The final result was, of course, as expected.

None of the Demon Pillars wanted to break their contracts. They all knelt down, determined to join the battle, and were all incredibly enthusiastic, saying they would give their hearts for the King's plan.

However, they only made one request.

Since Luo Wei said they are no longer the seventy-two demons of Solomon, but merely seventy-two demons, and that the old constraints will no longer be imposed on them, then doesn't that mean...?

The Demon Pillars all had the same idea.

They collectively petitioned that Loewy could re-select the top few among the Demon Pillars and choose the most trustworthy right and left hands, with the selection criteria based on the performance of each Demon Pillar.

The phrase "the lazy demon pillars crave merit" finally comes to life at this moment.

Although Luo Wei didn't understand why these guys, who were clearly free, were so willing to put shackles on themselves, he naturally wouldn't refuse. As a result, the entire Temple of Time changed from its previous lazy state and entered an unprecedented period of preparation. All the remaining Demon God Pillars began to use their supernatural powers to decorate the Temple of Time, all in order to win the King's favor later.

Apart from the fact that the Gemstone was opened by Loewe, but because its body is still inside the vent, it is desperately trying to crawl out and should be able to crawl out in half a day, all other arrangements have been made for the revival match.

Lowe has channeled most of his fighting force into this decisive battle against the two Beasts.

-

Just as his body returned to Uruk.

Rumble—!!

A burst of thunder roared from the sky above, followed by a dazzling light streaming in from outside.

In an instant, the burst of magical light illuminated the entire street of Uruk.

"This is……"

The citizens of Uruk, as well as the Servants in the city, all became curious.

"oops!"

Merlin, who was happily slacking off, suddenly slapped his forehead and said with a troubled tone, "This is really too chaotic. Why did they notify me of their arrival in this way?"

Mary, who was standing to the side, smiled as well.

"She's preparing to make contact with Gilgamesh."

As Rowe looked up from the Temple of Time, he saw a sharp, piercing sound suddenly come from the sky. Then, countless golden chains burst forth, rapidly weaving through the air above Uruk. Immediately afterward, a green figure floated in mid-air, calling Rowe's name. She stopped only after Rowe left the Temple of Time and sensed his presence.

Metal is solid.

Upon sensing the presence, Luo Wei immediately recognized who it was. It was a communication signal sent to him by Jingu. They had agreed that once Jingu was ready, he would come to Uruk to find him.

But perhaps not wanting to step into this painful place again, or perhaps sensing that the defensive barrier below Uruk had been upgraded, this time Kingu did not fall into the city. Instead, he used his own way to convey the message to Rowe that they could begin their operation.

However, her commotion clearly caught the attention of someone.

As a golden wave surged, golden ripples of light appeared in the sky above the city. From within these shimmering golden ripples, golden staffs slowly materialized, radiating terrifying magical power. They then combined to form incredibly powerful bolts of lightning that cleaved the sky. Simultaneously, the coiling chains automatically retaliated.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A piercing sound rang out as the chains clashed with the golden staff. Thunder roared like a whip, severing the chains that had been raining down like a meteor shower across the sky.

Seeing this, Lovi frowned. There was no doubt that Gilgamesh had made his move.

However, Jingu did not intend to clash with him and left after delivering the signal.

Finally, when Lovi arrived at the Uruk Temple, only Gilgamesh, sitting on the throne, and Siduri beside him remained.

When Gilgamesh saw Lovi return, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Is everything done?"

"Ah."

Lovi nodded. This time, he didn't start his usual playful fight with Gilgamesh. The two just looked at each other and smiled.

Gilgamesh murmured, "But it really does look alike... almost identical."

He had certainly sensed that Jingu meant no harm; otherwise, he wouldn't have simply covered the sky with chains to send a signal while searching for Luo Wei's presence.

But knowing is one thing, but some things are beyond our control.

Seeing that there was someone with the same appearance and aura as Enkidu, how could Gilgamesh not care? So he personally took action to test him, and the result was exactly as he had seen.

Jingu left, and he didn't chase after him.

Because it's meaningless; it's just creating trouble for yourself.

"king……"

Siduri hesitated before saying, "That person who just appeared really wasn't Lord Enkidu..."

"No."

Gilgamesh shook his head, then said calmly, "Siduri, I have already confirmed it with my own eyes in the Underworld. That is not Enkidu, but another person born using Enkidu's body... nothing more."

Although Gilgamesh and Siduri felt somewhat melancholy at this result, Lovi suddenly spoke up, saying, "However, you can now regard her as someone who has inherited Enkidu's will. From now on, Kingu will also assist us in the battle."

"I'm sure you've already had contact with Siduri, right?"

"I can't help but ask with a smile," Luo Wei asked.
