Zongman: Evolution Paradise

"Yes, it's a job placement agency."

"Medea and I are special. If we exclude the existence of the two of us, and look at the time when everyone hadn't even summoned any Servants when we entered the game, don't you think the Caster class is really too weak?"

Swordsman, cavalryman, spearman, berserker, magician, archer, assassin.

These are the seven classes in the official Holy Grail War.

In this game, players need to summon one of their own Servants from the seven classes, engage in battles with other players' Servants, and win.

Although the Swordsman class is nominally the strongest, there are strong contenders among Cavalry, Archers, Spearmen, and Berserkers.

Even assassins can kill enemy players and win in this game.

Caster, however, became a version trap.

If it were a proper Holy Grail War, one could say that there are no weak classes, only weak Servants.

But this is Fuyuki City, a place devoid of magic and where supernatural beings have been banished.

What does this mean?

A caster who can't even draw magic from the battlefield to build his own magic workshop.

There is no magic outside, and without slaughtering the locals of Fuyuki City, the magician class, which relies on magic to fight, can only obtain magic from their Master.

The magical power that a Master can provide is determined by their Constitution and Intelligence attributes.

But everyone is level 3. If we exclude Jolyne, who is an outlier, how much difference would there be in magical power?

Most Servants originally possessed the inherent skill of magic resistance, rendering Caster's ability to build bases and create items useless, leaving them with no way to fight other classes.

From a "fairness" perspective, these seven classes shouldn't have too much difference in combat strength.

In this way, the park will compensate the magician class in terms of rules.

Seeing Lily return and Medea's injuries have been healed, Jolyne casually said, "Because I summoned the Caster, and I summoned Medea, you never felt that this class had any weaknesses."

In terms of combat, Medea is completely unable to join the battles of other Heroic Spirits.

However, plundering Heroic Spirits, plundering Command Seals, and strengthening the equipment unlocked by Command Seals is already sufficient.

Chapter 273 Evolution Trusters

If it were a normal player and a normal magician, the proper tactic would be to use the locals of Fuyuki City to set traps for other players.

For Jolyne, such things were never really necessary.

Kuzuki Souichirou is the pursuer; killing him in this world is the best outcome. There's really no need to use Rule Six to kick him out of the game in Paradise.

And the other players?

Compared to Jolyne, who possesses Medea, the Heroic Spirits in the hands of these players are more precious than treasure chests.

Medea, Esdeath, and Gilgamesh all stayed behind to continue the fight in this way.

Moreover, Jolyne is perfectly capable of defeating him, so why resort to such strange methods?

Scáthach is different; her wish is to find someone who can kill her.

Battle is inevitable, and Scáthach's various settings are far too overpowered.

As for the item that Kaguya Shinomiya gave him, Jolyne felt it would be more suitable to use it on Souichirou Kuzuki.

So, let's leave.

This is always a Holy Grail War, not a children's game.

"Gill, take us back to Fuyuki City."

Jolyne looked at the young Gilgamesh who was hesitating between approaching Yukino Yukinoshita or Kaguya Shinomiya.

"Oh."

As soon as Young Flash took out his Noble Phantasm, he sensed something was wrong.

"...How dare you order me around like that."

"Should I obey?"

“It’s just a small matter; a future king shouldn’t be bothered by such details.”

"But he is neither my subject nor my master. It would be embarrassing to be too obedient to him."

Young Flash was really conflicted, and then Jolyne, who hadn't received a response, looked over.

"Jill, is there a problem?"

Jolyne asked.

"No, no, no, I'll be done in a minute."

With a press of the strange sword-shaped weapon, the entire space turned into golden specks of light and dissipated from above.

After doing all this, Young Flash realized what an embarrassing thing he had done.

After a while...

Masters and Servants gathered at Ryudouji Temple.

Although Gilgamesh was reluctant, he still took the Noble Phantasm that Jolyne had been curious about.

"So it really is this thing?"

Jolyne sighed.

Item - Evolution Trustee - Damaged

Description: Light is the bond that binds generation after generation.

Effect 1 - Meta Realm: Unfolds an alternate dimension called Meta Realm.

Effect 2 - Form Transformation: Evolved Trusters can transform into a gun form that fires light projectiles.

Bonus: None

Conditions for use: courage, hope... and a touch of idealism.

"what is this?"

Medea and Lily came over, equally curious about this Noble Phantasm that Jolyne had always wanted.

"I don't know how to describe it."

Looking at the "damaged" label and the list of effects that did not transform into Nexus, Jolyne handed it to Medea and said, "As far as I know, this is... a mysterious item for the user to transform into Nexus, and Nexus can be seen as Noah, the first ray of light in a certain universe."

Hmm... This is the transformation item for the host in Ultraman Nexus.

Although it's not Jolyne's favorite Spark Lens, it's still one of her second favorites.

The first ray of light in the universe, Noah!

So why are you here?!

With this question in mind, Jolyne looked at the young, female version of Gilgamesh who had already chosen Yukino Yukinoshita over Kaguya Shinomiya.

"I do not know."

Young Flash shook his head and continued, "One day in the future, this thing suddenly appeared in my Gate of Babylon."

Young Gilgamesh is not a separate individual, but rather an existence created by Mother Gilgamesh using the Year Rings to travel back in time, and still retains Mother Gilgamesh's memories.

However, with different ages, one's personality and attitudes toward things become completely different.

Although Gilgamesh's Master has been changed to Yukino Yukinoshita, Kaguya Shinomiya has not revoked her skill - Time Zero.

She remained in the form of a young girl.

At this moment, Medea also thoroughly examined the Evolution Trustee, but ultimately shook her head and said, "The structure of this item is too different from the magic knowledge of the Fate world. I don't understand it at all."

The reason Medea was able to transform the Yinluo Banner into the Yinluo Spirit Mansion was because she could understand the underlying principles through her magical skills. Now, with a transformation device from the Ultraman world, specifically Nexus's, which combines technology, fantasy, and a touch of idealism, it would be strange if it could be repaired directly.

Seeing Master's matter-of-fact expression, Medea became even more competitive.

"Put it here for now, I'll observe it for a while."

"No problem," Jolyne said nonchalantly.

Even if the Evolution Truster didn't have that damaged label, just looking at that abstract condition of use, Jolyne wouldn't necessarily be able to transform into Nexus.

But... Yukino Yukinoshita?

Jolyne glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita, who was feeding Saber snacks.

She even gained Avalon's approval, so becoming the light herself doesn't seem like a difficult task for her.

Medea put the Evolution Truster in her pocket and then took Lily from her Master's arms.

As expected, these players from the amusement park are going to have a meeting.

Medusa pulled out the item—Nakome's One Eye—from Medusa's arms, and holding Lily, said in a hostess-like manner, "Medusa, Saber, and Esdeath, come here. We still need to find the hiding places of the last two enemies."

Esdeath didn't want to obey, but she could also sense the atmosphere. Seeing that Medusa and Saber got up and left without resistance, she could only reluctantly acquiesce for the sake of her Master.

Hmm... with Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka, two outsiders, arguing would be very embarrassing.

Then, only Young Flash remained among the four players. Resisting the urge to follow, Young Flash had only one thought: "Why didn't they call me? Am I being ostracized?"

Observing these Heroic Spirits with a cold eye, Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly discovered something: the relationship between these Heroic Spirits and Jolyne was closer than she had imagined.

From the moment she met Jolyne, Kaguya Shinomiya's focus was always on Yukino Yukinoshita.

After all, she was the only player.

However, based on current observations, although Yukino Yukinoshita and Jolyne act intimately, they are not in a relationship like lovers; rather, they are closer like friends.

These Heroic Spirits, on the contrary, openly displayed their romantic relationship with Jolyne.

"The heroic spirits of this world can't be taken away, so what exactly does Jolyne want to do?"

Kaguya Shinomiya was somewhat puzzled.

According to the information she knew, the heroic spirits of this world could not be taken away to become followers.

So Kaguya Shinomiya didn't care at all about their close relationship with Jolyne.

Based on her understanding of Jolyne...

If they couldn't take it with them, how could they possibly show such an open and accepting attitude?

Chapter 274 Black Letters and White Letters

"Have you changed... Jolyne..."

Kaguya Shinomiya looked at Jolyne, trying to find a flaw in her demeanor.

Then he saw Jolyne give the potato chips that Yukino Yukinoshita hadn't finished feeding Saber to young Saber.

"Thank you." As soon as You Shan accepted the thank you, her pupils contracted.

Damn it, why did you accept that?!

I am the future king, how can I eat other people's leftovers!

"By the way, what skill did you use on her to turn Gilgamesh into this state?"

Jolyne watched with great interest as the young Flash struggled with his decision, and then asked Kaguya Shinomiya.

"A transformation skill effect that allows you to go back to the past or travel to the future."

Thinking that Jolyne wouldn't understand even if she mentioned the skill names, Kaguya Shinomiya directly explained the functions.

Is there a time limit for transformation?

Jolyne asked.

Just hearing Kaguya Shinomiya say that, he really wanted that skill.

"If it were me using it, it would indeed consume a lot of mental energy, but judging from Young Flash's current situation, it doesn't require any extra magic power to maintain after the conversion."

This answer raised another question for Jolyne.
