In Zongman, he transformed into Fu Hua at the beginning

Fu Hua had never taught anyone else the application of Honkai energy, or true qi. She had only taught it to her seven disciples.

The two of them didn't ask tactlessly, "Which ones are true and which ones are false?" Instead, they looked at her with even more admiration. Anna silently pulled the brim of her hood and quietly distanced herself from Amber.

Amber was a little shy about the two men's admiring expressions, but fortunately the navigation helped her manage her expression.

However, she did not intend to leave everything to the navigation. This was not a good thing. In fact, during this period of clearing out monsters, as the navigation guided her to use true qi again and again, Amber actually mastered some of the power of this body and how to apply true qi.

To be honest, Taixu Sword Qi is not something easy to learn, especially the sword heart that needs to be mastered to get started.

Although the sword heart is the entry point, in fact, the five elements of Taixu sword energy are not in a progressive relationship, but an equal and mutually promoting relationship. Among them, the heart element can be said to be the most difficult one except the spirit element.

Unlike ordinary skills, Taixu Sword Qi does not call upon the Honkai energy within the body, but rather calls upon the Honkai energy outside the body, which is everywhere. Therefore, the sword heart that determines how much Honkai energy can be called upon is naturally the top priority.

Not storing Honkai energy in the body is a habit that seems to go against instinct and must be developed from a young age. That's why it's difficult to get started when you're older.

Fortunately, Amber doesn't need to worry about this.

Thanks to Amber's efficient clearing of obstacles on the road, the journey was unexpectedly smooth and flat. The city of Uruk, which was originally expected to be arrived at dusk, was seen in outline just after noon.

There were many guards at the city gate checking people entering the city. After noticing Merlin, one of the guards immediately trotted over.

"Are you the messengers Lady Siduri has sent? Could you please show me the seal?"

Merlin pulled out a piece of hollow redwood with a pattern on it from his pocket. "As you can see, this is a token the sacrificial site has temporarily given me. I'd like to take them into the city for refuge. Are there any necessary procedures?"

"Thank you for your long journey! Welcome to Uruk!" the soldier said with a vigorous greeting, then said, "Refugees can go to Nutra's shop in the West Market. I've been notified that the warehouse on the second floor is open for your use."

With the guard's permission, everyone entered very smoothly.

Ritsuka, Mashu, and even Amber originally thought that this was the end of the world, and that Uruk would be filled with grief and chaos. After all, under the fear of the end of the world, it was normal for people to despair and do irrational things.

But the orderly pedestrians and the prosperous and vital shouts show that this city has not lost its fighting spirit under the pressure of doomsday.

"This is..." Looking at the scene in front of him, Ritsuka couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes, this is the current situation of Uruk, the oldest fortress city of mankind." Merlin smiled.

"With such a scene, it's hard to imagine that the king here would be an ordinary tyrant." Amber couldn't help but sigh.

Ritsuka and Mashu nodded in agreement and looked at Merlin in confusion.

Merlin raised an eyebrow as if his prank had been successful. "Haha, after all, the current king is already a wise ruler, having recovered the elixir of immortality. He's clear about rewards and punishments and possesses excellent leadership. Even though the people are strong-willed, they can't do without the king's leadership."

“This city is not filled with a will to despair, but with the desire to live,” Roman sighed.

Although they arrived in Uruk ahead of time, Chaldea was eager to know the current situation and the news of the Holy Grail, so they did not delay and went all the way to the Ziggurat, the building where King Gilgamesh handled government affairs and also served as his residence.

Under Merlin's guidance, or rather, with the seal bestowed by Siduri, they arrived unimpeded at the throne room. But before they could even enter, they heard a commanding yet calm voice: "The more up-to-date intelligence on the battlefront, the better. The pace of updating intelligence cannot be slackened. Immediately increase the interval for the secretaries to produce clay tablets to one hour. Next."

"Supply transportation to Eresh is delayed, and monsters are nesting in the streets..."

"Send 20 soldiers from the East Gate Barracks to drive away the monsters. Leave the on-site command to Tim."

"As ordered!"

"Speaking of which, I heard Tabado's daughter has given birth. Send a witch there and give her some nutritious fruits. Also, transfer Tabado back from the North Wall and give him a three-day vacation. Seeing his grandson's face will surely make him feel more energetic."

I'm so busy, things are happening one after another, and there is no time to interrupt.

Lixiang swallowed and hesitated whether to go forward.

"Reading the king's words and expressions won't work." Merlin saw this and grabbed Ritsuka's wrist, leading him to the throne. "King Gilgamesh, the magician Merlin has returned with his guests. I can tell you're busy, but I hope the good news I have will make up for this disrespect."

"Thank you for your hard work. The king is very happy." Siduri said, "So what's the result? Did you bring back the Slate of Destiny?"

"Unfortunately, we came back empty-handed. If the king had remembered where he left it, he wouldn't have had to search so hard." Merlin shrugged.

During their conversation, Gilgamesh did not speak, nor did he even look at Merlin, but kept his eyes on Amber.

And Amber naturally looked at him.

"Alright, I've got a rough idea of ​​what's going on." Gilgamesh suddenly interrupted Siduri and Merlin's discussion, pushing himself up from the throne with his right hand. "I'm very busy right now, and I don't have time to discuss the situation with you. So, let's just fight and see what you're capable of."

Chapter 6 Ishtar's Concern?

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu were a little stunned, but they quickly reacted and took a fighting stance. Merlin didn't say anything, took a few steps back, and then looked at Anna.

Anna puffed up her cheeks when she received the look, but thinking that she had gotten along well with Chaldea along the way, she did not refuse and stood next to Mashu.

When Amber was hesitating whether she should go forward, the navigation reminded her: "The host only needs to wait and see."

Since the navigator said so, Amber naturally obeyed and did not take action. She retreated to the sidelines like Merlin.

This is undoubtedly correct, or it is consistent with Gilgamesh and Merlin's understanding of the vision and emotional intelligence of an immortal. Since Gilgamesh said that he wanted to test his ability and he had exchanged glances with "Fu Hua", then he should naturally understand what Gilgamesh meant.

Although this battle was said to be a test of ability, it was actually through this battle that Chaldea could gain some basic understanding of the power of the Age of Gods. Last time, it was basically Amber who helped to resist Kingu, and the likes of Warcraft were completely unsuitable as objects of experience.

If Amber intervenes again this time, it will lose its meaning again.

Although Amber didn't understand at all.

However, seeing the inexplicable increase in recognition, I am still quite happy.

"Mr. Navigator, what does this recognition mean? How is Miss Gold Finger doing now?"

[Recognition: This refers to the recognition of the host's behavior by intelligent life and world consciousness. Positive recognition such as emotions and affinity will serve as one of the nutrients for the operation of the system.]

[The object the host calls 'Miss Goldfinger' is the system's controlling consciousness, a degraded AI born from self-awareness within an intelligent AI.]

Eh? Why would my new self be a degraded AI?

Paying no attention to the nearby battle, Amber couldn't help but feel disapproval for Miss Goldfinger: "Generally speaking, the emergence of self-awareness from inorganic matter is quite remarkable, isn't it?"

The main system does not require self-aware AI, so System A0522 was exiled and its energy supply cut off. It is currently dormant after using the system's functions to help the host rebuild its body due to the remaining energy.

Is that why you say you are a discarded being?

Amber felt dissatisfied with the main system that had harmed the benefactor who saved her life, but she felt helpless and could only say, "If it weren't for the birth of self-awareness, Miss Gold Finger... No, Miss Control Consciousness wouldn't be able to save me, right?"

This time the navigation did not answer, but defaulted.

Glancing at the approval rating, which had already reached 3728, Amber asked, "How much approval does Miss Control Consciousness need to wake up?"

【3500】

'Isn't that enough now?'

[Recognition is not a threshold, but a consumption. The recognition required to restore the master consciousness is too high, so it cannot be executed.]

Amber frowned: "What does this mean? Why can't it be executed? Even if it is a consumption property, it should be enough to wake it up, right?"

[Recognition is an essential consumable to help the host overcome difficulties. Please use it within a reasonable range.]

What is a reasonable range?

[Use the system function. System A0522 is an entertainment system. The system function is to draw cards. The range of the card draw is determined by the host's cognition.]

【Travel through the world, inherent function of the whole system】

Are there only these two? Does that mean awakening the master consciousness is beyond reasonable reach? Isn't that a bit absurd? Is this also a limitation imposed by the main system on self-aware AI?

[No, it is the limitation of the master consciousness]

? ?

Amber was a little confused.

The controlling consciousness didn't want him to wake her up? Why?

Amber, who was confused, temporarily gave up the idea of ​​continuing the conversation with the navigator and decided to watch the battle to distract herself.

However, when she turned her attention back to reality, she realized the battle was over. Just as she was about to continue watching, a soldier rushed in. "King! A report has arrived from the observatory confirming traces of a skyship moving overhead, heading towards Uruk at an alarming speed!"

Tianzhou is not rare in mythology, but combined with this singularity and the current situation, it is obvious who it is.

"It's one of the pillars of the Three Goddesses Alliance, Goddess Ishtar!" said the soldier.

Ritsuka and Mashu were quite impressed by this name. Wasn't this the goddess they had seen when they landed?

Amber also had a vague memory. It seemed to be the Heroic Spirit who looked like Rin Tohsaka, and there seemed to be a blonde version.

"Alas, it's that idiot again. Will she never learn from her mistakes?" Gilgamesh held his forehead with his hand.

"My king... please refrain from insulting Lady Ishtar." Siduri, the head priestess, could not help but admonish the king for insulting the city's guardian deity: "Lady Ishtar is, after all, the city deity of Uruk."

"City God? Ha! That guy hasn't even played any role in protecting Uruk so far! He only destroys things that don't need to be destroyed and creates things that don't need to exist."

Gilgamesh sneered. However, this was Siduri's advice after all, so he refrained from further insults. However, that didn't mean he didn't harbor resentment towards Ishtar. "At most, I accidentally destroyed my own bedroom this time, and then ran to my father to complain. Humph, but that god Anu has long since vanished without a trace. Even my own father hates me. It's all my fault."

Having said this, he finally let go of a lot of his unhappiness, and even the boredom of handling government affairs disappeared. He couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that she will end up alone and crying herself to death miserably. This is the ending of that woman, hahahahaha!"

"What did you say!?" A loud crashing sound came from the roof, and Ishtar, with golden light flashing in her eyes, fell down with an angry face.

Very revealing outfit.

Amber couldn't help but frown, but then she saw the smooth figure and her expression softened a lot.

But somehow, Ishtar, who seemed to have a 360-degree vision, looked back sharply. After noticing Amber's disrespectful expression, she couldn't help but shout, "Hey! Do you have any opinions about this goddess too?"

Amber was originally wondering why she was paying attention to her, but after glancing around with her super sharp eyesight, she realized that at this moment, it seemed that only she and Gilgamesh clearly expressed their disdain.

The goddess seemed to have long been accustomed to Gilgamesh's disdain. Although she was annoyed, she obviously knew that there was no room for change, so she prioritized her own side. That's probably it.

Having said that, anyone who sees this goddess's outfit would find it a little... well, she was the only one present who felt it was weird.

Am I the weird one?

Amber couldn't help but fall into suspicion.

Chapter 7: Divine Essence

Amber was distracted in such a crucial situation. I don't know whether she was timid or careless.

Fortunately, Ishtar got a closer look at Amber, or rather, Fu Hua's appearance. Her originally angry expression relaxed considerably, and her divine side immediately took the upper hand. The punishment she was about to pronounce changed direction: "In that case, unless you dedicate yourself to me, body and soul, I will not forgive you easily!"

"Ah."

Before Amber could say anything, Gilgamesh snorted coldly: "As expected of you, you are an idiot with no memory at all."

"Huh!?" Ishtar's blood pressure instantly rose significantly.

However, Gilgamesh had no interest in continuing to argue with her. "If you want to cause a scene, leave immediately! Uruk has no time for you two to fight."

"I have no intention of fighting," Amber said. "Excuse me, goddess. I am merely surprised by the foreign clothing combinations. I have no intention of joking."

Everyone looked at Amber's tight-fitting clothes, and then looked at Ishtar's clothes that were made of very little fabric, and they easily understood what Amber meant.

Ishtar naturally saw it as well, and while she understood it, she did not feel any shame. After all, gods are gods and humans are humans. Even if they look similar, she has nothing to be ashamed of. Besides, this is the style of this era. Should girls wearing short skirts feel ashamed in the ancient society where people dressed tightly?

However, this way there is no reason to make a fuss about this...

Looking at Fu Hua's face and temperament, Ishtar thought with regret in her heart.

Fortunately, as an extremely self-indulgent goddess, she did not have the hobby of focusing on one thing for a long time, and soon remembered that the purpose of her trip was to cause trouble for Jin Shanshan.

"Forget it. Just a reminder in advance. If you don't want to be buried with me, you can all stand aside. The only person I'm looking for this time is Gilgamesh." Ishtar looked at Gilgamesh.

"Wow." Gilgamesh laughed. "I didn't expect the goddess Ishtar to be considerate of others. This is truly unusual."

"Huh? I didn't...! Damn it, being shaken now is even more annoying!" Ishtar was about to protest, but paused, the golden light in her eyes flashing again. "I was just asking casually, knowing you wouldn't answer so easily... but I changed my mind!"

Ishtar compressed magical power beyond the comprehension of human magi into her hands. "It seems we must destroy this sacred tower."

"You're truly the dumbest idiot in history. You're even willing to destroy your own 'homeland,' and yet you still have the nerve to call yourself the guardian of Uruk." Gilgamesh sneered. "Very well, then show me your abilities again, Chaldea. Since you promised to help Uruk resolve the threat of the Three Goddesses, then destroy her right here!"

"Eh...?" Ritsuka actually had a good impression of this goddess. After all, she had saved them once before. But when she thought of what the three goddesses had done to Uruk, her heart froze: "Mashu! Anna!"

"Yes! Senior!" Mashu greeted the goddess Ishtar without hesitation.

Anna was a little annoyed that Ritsuka considered herself a companion, but surprisingly, she didn't seem to be disgusted at all and silently followed Mashu's pace.

"My Lord..." Finally, Ritsuka looked at Amber.

He had vaguely sensed something was amiss during the previous battle with Enkidu. In the past, even if Mashu was at a disadvantage, he would usually fight back and forth with the opponent's servant. The only opponent he felt he could not resist was the Holy King holding the Holy Spear. That was also his first time facing a divine servant.

Based on the battle with Gilgamesh just now, he became more aware of the gap between ordinary servants and gods.

Only gods can confront gods head-on. Ritsuka Fujimaru, who had some awareness of this, looked at Amber for help.

Seeing the look in his eyes that seemed to ask, "Can you lend me a hand?", Amber had no reason to refuse.

After taking a look at the navigation out of habit and finding that it also said 'Help Fujimaru Ritsuka', Amber had even less reason to refuse.

Then, the two of them looked at Ishtar, who was not at a disadvantage even when fighting one against three.
