Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

Even in a battle like the Holy Grail War that brings together ancient heroes, other Servants still marvel at his strength and are moved by his power.

These emotions of worship, fear, and dread are the best wine for Gilgamesh. As the original king, he should be the one who is noticed and looked up to.

No matter what the environment or the era, anyone who violates this principle will be ruthlessly punished by him.

But today, he has hit a wall twice in a row, as if his whole world view was shattered. It would be fine if the holy sword user was pale and distraught, but considering that the other party was playing a clown, Gilgamesh didn't mind slowing down the pace of the execution to bring himself more fun.

Before his best friend is ready for a real showdown, he always has to find some fun to kill time, but this does not mean that anyone can challenge his dignity.

"You are willing to stand up in such a situation. This courage is worthy of praise, but that's all. It might be happier for you to just hide away obediently? Do you think that contracting Saber can change anything? Just look at his current state, like a clown on the stage?"

Gilgamesh's red eyes flashed with cold determination, and he issued an unquestionable statement.

As he said, Saber's current condition is indeed not good. Although Lancelot's slash did not actually land on the old sword, the compressed and flowing sword light, even if it just brushed Saber's body, shattered his silver-white armor, leaving a blood mark from shoulder to waist.

But more troublesome than his physical injuries was his mental one. Even Roland, who had little contact with Saber, could clearly see the hesitation on his face. His ideals were denied by someone like Lancelot, and he killed the other party because he showed mercy.

For the Knight King who still has justice in his heart, he is probably the only one who understands this feeling.

Looking at Saber's expression, Gilgamesh pronounced his judgment in a condescending tone.

"Your Servant's power is very weak now. To use modern knowledge as an analogy, it is like catching a fly ball above the pitcher. It is difficult for him to touch me now. Do you think he can defeat me when he is so weak?"

"You seem to have misunderstood one thing, King of Heroes. Who said I need to rely on Saber's power? Some things are only meaningful if you do them yourself. If you ask someone else to do it for you, it will be no fun at all."

Roland turned his head and glanced at the voice coming from above. The blood in his pupils was so thick that it seemed impossible to dissolve.

"—like smashing up this nasty face of yours."

"As a last word, it's really unique."

Gilgamesh's expression was slightly distorted by anger. "Although killing an insignificant lunatic like you would only dirty my hands, since you are so arrogant as to challenge my majesty, I must make you pay with your life. This is the rule I set for myself."

Faced with the death threat from the King of Heroes, although she still hadn't gotten the answer she deserved from her confusion, Saber subconsciously raised her sword, ready to protect her new Master.

But Roland stopped his actions with just a look.

“Although I admire your loyalty, it would be better to go to the castle and protect Irisviel rather than worrying about me.”

"I can't let you fight Archer alone, Master..."

"Then just stand aside and watch the battle. If you can't even do this, I will be really angry."

Saber's face darkened, but in the end, he still retreated dozens of meters and did not interfere in the battle.

But Roland's act of not paying attention to Gilgamesh's threat undoubtedly angered him even more.

Gilgamesh stared at Roland, his eyes becoming increasingly cruel.

But after being ignored for the second time, talking to himself again would only make him look like a clown, so he just snorted coldly from his nose, causing a strange sense of oppression to appear in the void behind him.

Golden ripples slowly spread out in the void, and of course there was only one of them.

It was undoubtedly an insult to himself to have to deploy multiple treasures to deal with a mundane person like a magician, but considering the harsh words he had said before, the treasure that emerged from the new ripples was a strange spear, which was the original of the magic spear that was sure to hit the target.

The moment he was targeted by the spear, Roland's instincts quickly warned him that he felt a sense of oppression that seemed to have nowhere to escape.

"ended."

Gilgamesh raised his head proudly, and as he declared, the magic spear shot out like an arrow, pointing directly at Roland's heart.

This attack was dangerous even for him now, but it was by no means terrible.

Roland could block it using fire, air magic, or simply relying on his own strength.

The only question now was whether he should trust the Killer Queen who had gone berserk. Ignoring the danger, Roland focused on the feeling of power. Whenever his consciousness got closer to his stand, Roland's mind would give him a strong sense of awareness.

A consciousness that seems to be able to change everything and enable him to seize supreme power.

The question is, will he attempt to master a power he does not yet understand, will he attempt an act of sheer folly that could lead to a crisis? An act that would be an affront to his own intelligence?

At this moment when everything seemed to have stopped, Roland gave up resisting, turned his head and looked at the Killer Queen next to him.

Although her appearance had changed drastically, Killer Queen still looked at Roland calmly and tilted her head.

"This is... my half body." Roland smiled happily and hugged the substitute again.

In the blink of an eye, the whistling sound of the sound barrier being pierced and the clanging sound of the magic spear that was sure to hit the target all came to an abrupt end.

On the battlefield of confrontation, the only thing left was Roland's calm yet absolute declaration.

"The rules of victory have been decided - Killer Queen!"

Chapter 83 Killer Queen's Fourth Bomb

Chapter 83 Killer Queen: The Fourth Bomb

"Master!"

Despite receiving the order, Saber still held his breath. From his perspective, Roland did not even resist, but just stood there, as if he was calmly accepting death.

Even from a distance, Saber could sense that what Archer shot out was a genuine treasure with tremendous magical power.

Even if we ignore its own characteristics, such a projection will directly cause a terrible explosion. It is absolutely impossible for humans to withstand this attack and they will be blown to pieces.

Saber had no doubt that Roland was the strongest Master in this Holy Grail War. He could easily plan multiple teams and always take everything he wanted with ease, but in front of the power of the Servants, the power of humans seemed so insignificant.

However, what appeared before Saber next was a completely incomprehensible situation.

Roland stood there quietly, unharmed.

The scarlet magic spear disappeared in the middle of shooting, as if it had been erased by an eraser.

"impossible!"

Gilgamesh's color changed for the first time, not because his attack failed, but because he did not understand the situation in front of him.

He has the wisdom to see through everything. No matter what situation he is in, he can always understand what is happening at the first time.

But now it is completely different. This is definitely not a power like magic or sorcery, but something even more incomprehensible.

Whether it is resisting, knocking away, or even defiling his own treasure to fight back like the dead mad dog before, although Gilgamesh will be angry and lose his composure, there is nothing he can do about it. It is a possibility that exists between the changes of the world.

But in the process just now, this possibility seemed to have no effect at all, as if it had never happened at all.

"So, didn't I say it? The rules of victory have been determined," Roland smiled playfully, looking at Gilgamesh who was speechless in front of him.

"However, considering that you have worked so hard to let me test my new abilities, if I don't show my kindness, wouldn't it seem like I'm bullying a child?"

Roland smiled, pointed his index finger at his chin, pretending to be distressed, and then his mouth widened.

"How about this," his voice became deeper and deeper, filled with strong malice and unconcealable pleasure.

"As long as you run away like a stray dog, I will let you go."

"Bastard! What are you talking about!"

Such blatant ridicule made Gilgamesh furious. He waved his hand violently, causing golden ripples like a lake to spread out in the void behind him, dyeing the deep dark sky into a dazzling scene.

One after another, treasures that were polished to a bright luster and shone with rare luster stretched out from it and aimed at Roland, but they were not fired immediately.

Because his master has now shifted his attention to another matter.

Gilgamesh turned his head blankly. He had never felt his expression so stiff before, because the scene before him was too abnormal.

In the golden ripple closest to him, a scarlet magic spear quietly protruded from it, as if it had never been shot out.

The treasures collected by Gilgamesh's King's Treasure were as numerous as the stars, and he himself did not remember them all. Most of the time, he just made requests and let the King's Treasure choose the appropriate treasures. However, he would not forget the magic spear that he had specially selected just now for the purpose of killing with one blow so quickly.

Gilgamesh looked at the precious original sword beside him with disbelief. After confirming that it was the authentic one, his eyes suddenly became solemn when he looked at Roland.

"who are you?"

Gilgamesh's loss of composure undoubtedly greatly satisfied Roland's bad taste, and he snapped his fingers calmly.

"Before asking others questions, you should first learn to respect them. - Who allowed you to look down on me, bastard? Get down here!"

Along with Roland's voice, Gilgamesh's body suddenly fell down, accompanied by circles of spreading white waves, and finally hit the ground like a meteorite, leaving a deep pit.

Saber stared at the scene in amazement, her pupils shrinking.

As Gilgamesh fell face first to the ground, he did not catch any sign of attack, but a wound appeared on Archer's back, as if he had been pierced by something.

One unknown situation after another finally made Gilgamesh unable to keep a calm expression and he fell into extraordinary anger.

"How dare you let me fall into this stupid stage and stand on the same ground with you actors? No matter what means you use, I will end your future here!"

In an instant, the atmosphere exploded, and dozens of treasures suddenly burst out, turning into dazzling golden light, tearing open the atmosphere in front of them, causing white ripples to spread continuously.

Spear, sword, hammer...

One after another, the heirloom weapons came flying at him, accompanied by the clanging sound of metal clashing, but Roland just looked at it all indifferently, without being moved at all.

Just when those treasures were about to penetrate his body, they disappeared again.

"It's useless. No matter how many times you try, the result is the same."

Killer Queen floated quietly beside Roland, and walked towards Gilgamesh step by step with him.

Roland looked at Gilgamesh, who was barely holding up his body, and said lightly.

"Perhaps you haven't realized it yet, but you have been trapped in the past, constantly going through a powerless cycle. The attacks you launched were real, and each of your treasures did achieve the result of hitting the target, but you can never reach this actual {future}."

"Because when this result occurs, time has already flown backwards. How can an attack from the past hit me who is already in the future?"

"The moment you became hostile to me, the outcome was already determined. Every time you achieve a result, it will only create a new cycle.

——It is not about the reversal of the entire world, but about the cycle of individuals. No matter how powerful the opponent is, no matter how desperate the means are, as long as I deny this, they are nothing more than the reality that has never happened in the long river of time. "

Roland watched everything happening in front of him indifferently, stretched out his hand, and slowly clenched it.

"This is my Stand, Killer Queen, the Fourth Bomb, the Power of Egoism."

This is not a requiem, or the sublimation of reaching heaven, but the growth of his own soul and character, which triggers the potential of Killer Queen. The door to heaven that is enough to change everything is now only one step away from him.

An individual soul is not enough; it also requires an opportunity, a ritual, to enable it to truly dominate the world.

Even without Dio, Roland understood that another key factor had been achieved.

One of the necessary conditions for going to heaven, my stand-in, {Killer Queen}.

Chapter 84: The King's Treasure with a -meter Radius

Roland was also a little dazed at this moment, as if he was standing in the clouds.

In Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Killer Queen does not look that impressive compared to the various time-based final villains.

After all, facing a boss who stops and deletes time at will, turning others into bombs is cruel enough, but it always feels a little less oppressive.

Everything changed until the third bomb appeared.

Its appearance officially announced the fact that time does not only flow forward.

The loser eats dust. This ability to roll back the clock left a deeper impression on Roland when he first read the original novel, even more than the villains in other films.

The kind of horror that ruthlessly erases all factors, leaving only endless despair, is very unique.

If it weren't for the fact that except for the first time of activation, even the user has no memory of the subsequent activation, and the strict activation conditions, this is simply an invincible stand.

The changes in the Stand's abilities are closely related to the master's personality. When the soul was sublimated and the Stand fell into a deep sleep, Roland once heard the call of the Killer Queen.

It is asking about its own wishes.

Roland had thought deeply about this. He was not a born evil person, nor was he an abnormal person with character flaws.

How to move forward, how to deal with yourself, how to deal with your own desires?

These things once confused him, but fortunately, he had many teachers around him.

Uryu Ryunosuke, who indulged himself and fell into the abyss, Kotomine Kirei, who was mentally defective and sought relief in extreme repression and struggle, Emiya Kiritsugu and Matou Zouken, who eventually lost their original hearts and gradually became distorted for the sake of their ideals, are all vivid examples.

In order to find the path forward that he should pursue, he must know where the 'back' is.

Looking back on my life, the opportunity was also very simple.

From the moment he was chosen by the Key of All Spirits, from the moment he contracted the first soul, it became the "after" that Roland should remember, and at the same time, it was also the "forward" that he should move towards.

The moment the two merged into one, Roland understood his answer.

He didn't need the ability to wipe out all his enemies, but he wanted a chance.

An opportunity to turn things around when you are in desperate situation.

Even if he faces enemies who can seal him, faces the hostility of the entire world, and faces goals with no end in sight, he can still grasp the possibility of change.
