"So, you lost your power for some reason, then were ambushed by a mysterious enemy, and when you woke up, you had turned into this?"
Mo Shuying led Gilgamesh back to the room and, through a series of gentle methods, finally managed to get some answers.
Gilgamesh was suspended from the ceiling, his shoes removed, with various items beneath his feet, such as feathers, chili water, ink, calligraphy brushes, and whips.
Little Gil, or rather Child Gil, had a turtle drawn on one eye and a circle on the other, glaring at Mo Shuying with indignant fury.
"What do you mean 'for some reason'! I asked that white-haired girl! It was you who took my Class Card! Then you disappeared, and my power kept declining until my body degenerated into this state! It's all your fault!"
Child Gil wriggled like a suspended caterpillar, squirming uncontrollably, utterly enraged.
"What's that got to do with me?! So what if I took your Class Card? Didn't you give it to me?"
Mo Shuying pulled out two of Gilgamesh's cards. One was indeed given to him by Gilgamesh himself, while the other was confiscated from Angelica.
"It's this one! The one I gave you had no connection to my true self! But this one! After you left my world, my power kept fading, and many Noble Phantasms in my Gate of Babylon were lost, almost none remained! You! Give me back my card!"
Child Gil shouted. Mo Shuying thought for a moment, then casually threw the card he had confiscated from Angelica, quickly sticking it onto Child Gil's body.
"Huh?"
Child Gil froze, then golden light flashed around him, integrating the card into his body! A long-lost sense of power surged through him, making Child Gil look intoxicated.
"Ah~ It's back, it's all back!"
Child Gil glowed all over, as if he was about to transform, but when the light faded, Child Gil's body showed no change.
"How can this be!"
Child Gil was surprised to see no change in himself. His eyes flickered slightly with a hint of light, then he froze.
"Because the physical body has changed, it can't recover instantly!"
Child Gil instantly turned to stone, lost in disappointment.
Mo Shuying, meanwhile, stroked his chin and spoke.
"You have a physical body, don't you? Why was I able to summon you?"
Mo Shuying found it strange that Child Gil, who already had a physical body, could be summoned.
To his surprise, Child Gil said with disdain, "Hmph, it's just a small trick of Spiritron Conversion. For this King, it's nothing at all."
"You can use Spiritron Conversion?" Mo Shuying was surprised.
"Hmph, if even you mere mortals can achieve something, it would be a joke if I, the oldest king, couldn't."
Child Gil said proudly. Mo Shuying remembered that Child Gil had a Noble Phantasm called [Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence].
Simply put, he knew everything; nothing in the world could be hidden from him.
"It seems you really do know everything. Then let me ask you, do you know Goetia?"
As soon as Mo Shuying said this, Child Gil paused, then blurted out, "You know Goetia?"
"Mm-hmm, do you know about it?"
"..."
Child Gil was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know."
"Huh? Aren't you omniscient and omnipotent?" Mo Shuying questioned.
"Yes, I was. But sometimes, knowing too much isn't a good thing, so I sealed it. I can only know simple things. For example, the mysterious enemy you just mentioned is related to Goetia. That guy has grand ambitions..."
Child Gil said in a matter-of-fact tone, implying that omniscience and omnipotence could sometimes be very boring.
"Then do you know me?" Mo Shuying pointed to himself.
Child Gil frowned, showing a look of disgust, and said displeasedly, "No! I tried to search for your information several times, but it was blocked by some power. I have to say, your level of concealment is even above Goetia's. Who exactly are you?!"
Even the Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence couldn't find Mo Shuying. Mo Shuying smiled upon hearing this, feeling much more at ease.
His own secrets were few, and if they were exposed, he'd probably be socially ruined. He had already received a satisfactory answer, so he smiled and stepped forward, preparing to release Child Gil.
"Alright, alright, I understand the situation now. From now on, we're comrades, good friends, and good master and servant. You'll charge into battle, I'll command the army; you'll fight bravely, I'll cheer you on. We'll have clear divisions of labor and work together for the final victory. I have high hopes for you."
Mo Shuying's words made Child Gil's face darken. He sneered, "You're using child labor, you know that?!"
Mo Shuying smiled slyly. "You? Child labor? A several-thousand-year-old child laborer? Hahaha~ I didn't expect you to make jokes too."
Mo Shuying smiled, grabbed Child Gil's arm, and began untying the ropes. It had to be said, the movement brought them a little close. Just then,
"Creak~"
The room door opened, and Merlin walked in, a smile on his face.
"Oh, Master, there's something I wanted to—"
Merlin suddenly froze, his eyes widening at the scene in the room! His lips trembled a few times, then—
He turned!
"My apologies! I saw nothing! Farewell!"
"Screech!"
Merlin closed the door and fled!
Mo Shuying also froze for a moment, then looked at the petite Child Gil, his expression changing!
"Merlin! You misunderstood! It's not what you think!!"
"Ahem, everyone quiet down. Is everyone ready? Please enter your pods; prepare for Spiritron Conversion."
Finally, it was time to depart again. Little Director had one group, Fujimaru Ritsuka another, and Mo Shuying a large one.
There were eight people and eight pods in total, arranged in a circle, ready for launch.
Mo Shuying arrived with three Servants and immediately noticed that everyone was looking at him strangely.
Little Director shot Mo Shuying a glance that said "scum," then entered her pod with Qin Liangyu.
Mash looked at Mo Shuying, her face slightly flushed, while Fujimaru Ritsuka looked as if they wanted to say something but found it hard to voice.
"..."
Mo Shuying's expression was not good, because people around them were still whispering!
"Merlin..."
"Ah, what is it, Master?"
"The journey ahead will be difficult and perilous. I will give you a Command Seal for protection then."
Mo Shuying looked at Merlin, who broke out in a cold sweat. He felt that something was off.
"There's no need to waste a Command Seal, Master!"
Merlin said.
Mo Shuying shook his head.
"No, it's absolutely necessary. Things like 'charging forward bravely' or 'going down together' – those are definitely happening. Don't worry, after this is over, I'll make a plaque with your name on it and commemorate you every day."
