The Beautiful Youth!
Mo Shuying noticed that Merlin had been acting strangely lately, constantly wandering around Chaldea, seemingly up to something.
He approached Romani, ostensibly to ask him to send Merlin home, but in truth, he wanted to subtly warn Romani to keep an eye on Merlin, to prevent any mishaps.
Mo Shuying's gains from this Singularity trip were modest, but he found himself quite satisfied. Was this the sense of accomplishment that came with saving the world?
There were six more Singularities to go. If the story followed the game, there would be many powerful enemies ahead. He wasn't even considering the ultimate boss, Beast of Pity; he wasn't sure if he could even handle the Demon God Pillars.
Having experienced so much, Mo Shuying now understood that games were games, and reality was reality.
During this trip to Orléans, Gilles, who was supposed to be the final boss in the game, was dealt with by Mo Shuying in Thiers. So, he thought:
Big villains shouldn't just run around everywhere; it's easy to end up dead on the street.
Who would be the boss of the next Singularity? Lev and the Demon God Pillars?
That would be tough. Mo Shuying didn't know the full power of the Demon God Pillars, but they certainly weren't weak. While they were easily defeated in the game, reality was unpredictable. He wasn't sure if they could take a beating.
Therefore, to strengthen their forces and gain an advantage in the next Singularity, Mo Shuying decided.
"Romani! I want to summon!"
An Assassin who can't fight isn't a good Summoner.
Mo Shuying realized both of his Servants were quite eccentric. Merlin, well, he was off the charts, but the key was Li Shuwen.
Grandmaster Li Shuwen was undeniably a formidable fighter, but if the opponent was a colossal monster, like the Sea Demon from before, Li Shuwen would be completely helpless.
This was quite normal, but Mo Shuying felt they were lacking a proper damage dealer.
He couldn't always rely on himself to switch to Gilgamesh, or Arthur, or Manni for output. Constantly depending on Class Cards wasn't a good thing. In Li Shuwen's words, "Only when unburdened by external things can one truly grasp the essence of martial arts."
Listen to that, that's what a true master should say!
So, Mo Shuying sought out Romani and requested a Summoning Ritual.
"This..."
Romani was a bit hesitant. Mo Shuying had already summoned two Heroic Spirits; wouldn't adding more be too much for him to handle? Three thousand beauties were nice, but one needed a body of steel to support them.
However, Romani glanced at Mo Shuying's physical strength and immediately relaxed. He really did have the capacity for it.
"Alright, we can prepare for you to try again. But if it fails, there's nothing more to be said."
Romani agreed readily. Mo Shuying gave him a thumbs-up. As expected of Dr. Roman, always reliable.
Soon, the Summoning Ritual was ready. Mo Shuying arrived at the familiar location, turning his head to look around. He didn't see the familiar figure, and a hint of regret welled up in his heart.
Mo Shuying didn't know that Gilbert had attempted a summoning while he was away, which ultimately failed. Gilbert had gone in standing and came out lying down. If Romani hadn't been prepared, he might have already been cremated.
Because of this, Gilbert had been added to the summoning blacklist.
"Begin," Romani said.
Mo Shuying reached out, releasing Mana, connecting to the summoning array, and then—
"*Let it be filled, let it be filled, let it be filled, let it be filled, let it be filled!*
**Repeating cycles, then five.
**However, when it is filled, it is time for abandonment!
**I declare!
*Blah blah blah!*"
The moment Mo Shuying started chanting, Romani frowned. The summoning incantation Mo Shuying was reciting was different from the one he had provided.
Changing the incantation at this point was unwise, as the previous incantations had been successful and were complete versions. Arbitrarily using a new incantation carried a risk of failure.
However, Mo Shuying wasn't afraid. If it failed, it failed; it wasn't a big deal.
Besides, he wasn't just spouting nonsense. The incantation he was chanting was the one Tohsaka Tokiomi had used to summon Gilgamesh.
While there were many powerful Heroic Spirits, only a few had specific incantations. Instead of relying on the fixed incantations and trying his luck for an SSR, he might as well use the "VIP channel" to summon.
If it worked, great. If not, so be it.
*"Om!"*
The array beneath Mo Shuying's feet glowed, and an ancient aura emanated from it.
"It worked! Come forth! King of Heroes! Contribute your strength to the survival of humanity! Hahaha!"
Mo Shuying could already feel a connection linking to him, which meant he had succeeded.
Immediately after!
*"Om!"*
A bright light flashed, and a golden figure began to coalesce before Mo Shuying, coalescing, coalescing—
Huh? Why is it shrinking?
*"Ding~"*
The light faded, revealing an adorable boy, only about 1.2 or 1.3 meters tall, with golden hair, red eyes, and a charming, cute smile on his face. He was dressed in a sky-blue casual outfit and appeared before Mo Shuying.
Mo Shuying: "Ah!"
His jaw dropped! Mo Shuying's jaw seemed to be about to hit the floor. He was incredibly surprised. He had expected the summoned Gilgamesh to be either Axe King or Lamppost King! Twin-Blade King would have been fine too! Who knew...
"Hehe~ Big brother, you look so disappointed~ Are you my Master?"
The blond boy blinked, speaking in a clear, crisp voice. His words instantly endeared him to many of the onlookers, who felt an urge to embrace and dote on the boy.
But Mo Shuying...
*Thunk!*
A potion bottle popped out on its own. Mo Shuying caught it and then coldly stared at the blond boy.
"Put away your charm."
Hearing Mo Shuying's words, the blond boy's brows furrowed and his mouth twitched. The next second, his cute smile vanished, replaced by a dark expression.
"Tch, I thought it would work! You, you seem to have gotten stronger!"
A hint of roguishness instantly appeared in the blond boy's demeanor as he shoved his hands into his pockets and spoke with some irritation.
"Hmm? Do we know each other?"
Mo Shuying picked up on the problem in his words. This blond boy, did he know him?
"Huh? My current state is all your fault, and you don't recognize me! This King even drank with you!"
The blond boy spoke angrily. Only then did Mo Shuying look at the blond boy in surprise, superimposing a certain Gilgamesh's figure over him.
"You're that Gilgamesh!" Mo Shuying exclaimed.
"That's right! I am the Oldest King of Humanity! The most perfect incarnation of humanity! The King of Uruk! Gilgamesh!"
The blond boy raised his hands and shouted his name. The next second...
*Clang!*
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! You, you brute! If my power hadn't diminished so much, I'd surely sentence you to death!"
Mo Shuying delivered a hand chop, and Gilgamesh squatted on the ground, holding his head. There was no trace of the Oldest King left.
"Oh, forget it. Since you're here, one more freeloader won't make a difference. Come on, let's go back and talk about how you ended up like this."
Mo Shuying reached out and tucked Gilgamesh under his arm. No matter how much Gilgamesh struggled, it was useless. He turned and left the summoning room.
If all goes well~ this Tuesday will be the release. Everyone is welcome to show some support~ Thank you in advance, there will be bonus chapters then~
