Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

43. The Titan Soldier of the Obelisk

Subtitle: Super Roman Gods: Gods and Gods (Part 2)

The Roman Slashing Emperor (self-proclaimed), and the British Sea Demon, the first battle of the Mythical Holy Grail Tournament, ended with the appearance of the gods and the explosion of the entire arena——

but.

Not from Nero's side.

On the other side, there is also a team, a team of seeded players personally selected by BB, who also won.

That's the combination of Kenneth and Caesar.

To put it bluntly, this Holy Grail Tournament is full of insider information. Shenji and Drake should have been very strong candidates for the championship, but BB did not go through a draw and directly placed them and Nero as the organizer. One round.

Drake has the power to make the impossible possible, and the further back he goes, the more troublesome he becomes as an uncertain factor, so BB will definitely, almost definitely, find a way to eliminate her in the first battle.

Although BB is a very mean-spirited AI.

But he is still very serious about his work. On the set of "Detective Conan", his professional ability is at least that of Shuichi Akai.

The most troublesome thing about Drake's power is that the power of Star Blazer is essentially the same as the Fire of Humanity of the Demon King.

If anyone in this singularity could attract the attention of the Demon God King, it would definitely be Drake.

This is something BB doesn't want to see, after all, she secretly ate the demon Valak not long ago.

Even if it was just to avoid being discovered by the Demon King, BB couldn't let Drake stay, so he took this measure.

If the enemy has malicious intentions to eliminate Drake, maybe the Star Trailblazer can really make Drake look like the protagonist in a hot-blooded comic book, and he will fight back in desperate situations.

But Nero was different. From the beginning to the end, Nero came to 'have fun with the people' with an entertainment mentality. I'm afraid it would be difficult for Drake himself to completely regard Nero as an enemy, right?

Although this Drake definitely has no memory of another parallel world, BB knows that in the Holy Grail Competition in the real future computer magic world on the other side, Drake is almost destined to be the first. Lost to Nero.

It would be nice to get Drake out.

No matter how strong the others are, they are just 'powerful'. From BB's point of view, they are all controllable and far less troublesome than Drake.

As for the other side, Kenneth, who was given high hopes by BB and was tasked with a special mission, naturally did not disappoint BB.

The advantage of the Holy Grail Competition compared to the Holy Grail War is that because of the knockout format, every battle in the early stage is a mandatory fair one-on-one. As a magician, Kenneth can make sufficient preparations in advance to fight positional battles - how terrible is a well-prepared magician? ?

Just look at the 'petite and frail' Kirshtalia next door who is still fighting with Katniss.

BB specially prepared the stage that is most suitable for Kenneth. The opponent was also carefully selected who was not weak but could not win against Kenneth. Even his fiancée Sora, who was Kenneth's fatal weakness, BB had kidnapped in the name of protection. got up.

Even the arena for the duel was specially selected to prevent Kenneth from being killed due to carelessness.

BB even felt that she was not here to plot against Kenneth, but to be his nanny.

Although described like this, it may make onlookers think that Kenneth’s record is extremely watery——

actually not.

What BB did was just help Kenneth block the way to "defeat him with despicable means".

As for the opponent Kenneth faces, it doesn't matter, as long as he avoids Nero——

BB is very worried whether Kenneth will come up and eliminate Nero as the organizer.

To be honest, BB is actually quite dissatisfied with Kenneth, because the servant that BB originally prepared for him was the God Ancestor Romulus. Depending on the situation, he can even summon the 'Crown of Spears' Quirinus = Romulus. Loos.

As a result, Kenneth refused to listen to the advice and insisted on summoning some Egyptian god. As a result, Caesar appeared.

BB is quite disappointed here.

Until BB saw the way Kenneth fought with Caesar.

BB was shocked, really scared, because Kenneth's performance definitely exceeded BB's expectations. It's not that it was very good or bad, but it was very 'weird', which made BB even wonder if there was something like fate behind it. cause trouble.

Also shocked was Weber, the "world's best player" who came to watch the game with special thoughts.

After watching Kenneth's game, BB and Webb had only one sentence in their minds

--""how so? ""

In a nutshell.

Caesar did not take any action during the whole process. As a magician, Kenneth single-handedly used the power of magic to eliminate the enemy's Master and Servants.

☆

——Kenneth is a genius

Not only did he think so, but even the people around him praised him so.

In the age of the end of the world when magic is rampant, one can become the highest 'title' in the magic world by relying solely on pure magic talent, without relying on the inheritance of magicians or using the power of political capital.

Super genius for hundreds of years.

This is Kenneth.

A hundred years ago, two world wars changed everything, not only the world of ordinary people, but also the world of magic.

The reason is simply that Germany, as an important initiator of the world war, used all means to win the victory. In the end, through the hands of the notorious Nazi leader "Hitler", the mystery of magic was completely devalued.

In order to win the war, Hitler made an unprecedented use of magic for military use on a large scale, turning the "noble knowledge" that was originally in the hands of a few people into a "cheap prop" that anyone can use.

The actions of Hitler and Nazi Germany forced the magic organization headed by the United Kingdom to die personally.

Is the combat capability of the Magicians Association itself?

Put it this way.

Before the start of World War I, the entire association was wiped out by a man named 'Sherlock Holmes'.

The Enforcer troops were wiped out by Holmes in the Himalayas, and all the dozens of Chimera monsters he brought with him to save money were hunted by Holmes. The Enforcer troops never recovered, and the Magicians Association was even reduced to the point where it had to look at the colors of the British royal family. .

To put it bluntly, these are a group of people who are engaged in learning, and their fighting power is a by-product. In a real fight, how can they be as strong as Sherlock Holmes, the unscrupulous superpower?

After experiencing Sherlock Holmes' single attack, the new troops rebuilt by Suosuo faced the highly militarized German magic machine army. Naturally, they were brutally massacred. If it weren't for Atlas Academy's action, the Magicians Association would have almost been destroyed. About to disappear from this world.

The reason, to put it bluntly, is that the big families behind the scenes are unwilling to take action. After the wealth saved by the association was wiped out by Holmes alone, the monarchs of the big families not only refused to invest in rebuilding, they were even happy to see the Magicians Association completely destroyed. Be your own tool.

In the end, in order to solve the invasion of Germany, the association had to bleed a lot of money and hired a large number of magic mercenaries by packaging and selling knowledge. Naturally, there was no way to turn defeat into victory, it just made the war situation more than a one-sided massacre.

World wars, especially World War II, directly changed the pattern of the entire magic world. Because of the weakness of the Magicians Association, a large number of secret leaks, and the destruction of Germany, the related heritage was directly shattered and took root through the Cold War. germination.

Especially the United States, which had basically no mystery in the first place, made a fortune directly through the world war, and spent money to buy a lot of savings accumulated by the association for thousands of years.

At that moment, the world knew that the Magicians Association was a noob.

This is the age of the end of the Dharma, and it is also an age of overflowing mysteries.

Almost all terrorist organizations have in their hands the legacy of the German invasion or the mysterious technology that was sold by the Magicians Association.

Until today in 2016, in the gray areas of South America, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia, noble magic research products are being sold casually as commodities.

Not to mention those famous terrorists, students from the association who go to work with pirates during the summer vacation will encounter illiterate people who use magic.

This is the age of magic and magic.

The big families do not want to revitalize the association, but are happy to ridicule the decline of the association's power, and are happy to see the association become a mere prop for their political struggles.

Maintaining law and order in a mysterious world?

Aren’t there UN peacekeeping forces doing that kind of thing?

The modern struggle between the association and the big family is so ugly that the noble appearance of a mystic scholar cannot be seen at all.

It was in this context that Kenneth was born——

Although, no one knows that Kenneth's existence, from a world historical perspective, is just to attract his incredible student, 'El-Melloi II' - Weber Velvet.

At least until El-Melloi II shines, the glory of the association is almost entirely concentrated on the teacher of II, Kenneth as the monarch El-Melloi (I).

He became a monarch before he was twenty years old, and he created the 'Supreme Clothes' before he was twenty-five years old. Countless magic tycoons for thousands or even ten thousand years have marveled at Kenneth's talent. If he hadn't lived in Alaya, In a modern world where magic is becoming more and more powerful and the suppression of magic becomes more stringent, this kind of talent can even be called a devil.

No, that's not right.

After all, those so-called demon gods who have left their names in history lived in an era when humans were weak, and the alaya consciousness could only protect human society, but could not in turn suppress the mystical scholars.

Kenneth, on the other hand, achieved great deeds comparable to those of the demon gods in this age of apocalypse.

Although judging from the results, all of Kenneth's glory was just a stepping stone for his student.

Times have changed after all, and the magicians in the association are no longer the magic aristocrats they used to be. Instead, they are more like ugly politicians run by capital. Kenneth praised them as much as possible when he was alive, but after Kenneth's death, he disdained them. Gu, wantonly belittled and plundered his legacy.

In the process, his students, driven by a sense of guilt, tried their best to protect the teacher's legacy. For this, they owed hundreds of millions of debts, but in the process, they also learned who their teacher was. How terrible.

If, if you didn't participate in the Holy Grail War.

If he hadn’t participated in the Holy Grail War and fought for victory at all costs, if he hadn’t met the magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu, if his stupid student hadn’t stolen the teacher’s important holy relics, if Kenneth had been a completely cold-blooded and ruthless scum magician. ——

If Kenneth wasn't careless, or if Kenneth was participating in a more formal magic competition.

Webb Velvet, who holds Kenneth's inheritance, believes that his teacher Kenneth is undoubtedly the greatest magician of this era.

--so

After knowing the rules of this Holy Grail Competition and knowing that Kenneth would participate, Weber paid close attention to the situation here.

Although he said so many good things about Kenneth.

He even said something like "What if Kenneth was a completely cold-blooded and scumbag magician".

But it is undeniable that Kenneth is definitely not a good person.

After all, Kenneth is still a magician. Even if I explain to him everything about the incineration of human reason, he will definitely not join Chaldea directly. Instead, he will laugh and ridicule the decline of Alaya Consciousness, and take this opportunity to develop it wantonly. magic.

If the Holy Grail falls into Kenneth's hands, it will never be used to save the world.

To say that Kenneth is a good man is just because the modern Magicians Association is too rubbish. Sherlock Holmes and the two world wars have wiped out the little aristocratic temperament the Association had. I don’t know how many magicians can’t be found after graduation. For work, you can only go to the United States to work for the CIA. Those who can work in the regular magic force of the United Nations must be high-achieving students.

The impact of capitalism has long destroyed the ancient magician framework, and it’s no wonder that Caddock keeps saying “I don’t have money to do magic tricks” all day long.

Human incineration is indeed a great disaster.

But this stage - maybe BB didn't even realize what kind of stage he had prepared for Kenneth.

Weber was in the audience.

Not as Kong Ming, but as El-Melloi II, Kenneth's successor, and as his student Webber Velvet, witnessing Kenneth's performance.

Then Weber confirmed.

Maybe Kenneth was not the real mastermind, or maybe Kenneth was just being used.

But Kenneth's talent, without being restricted and plotted by various means, has undoubtedly become Chaldea's most difficult enemy.

"Fervor, mei sanguis (boil, my blood)"

Latin incantation.

A spell to control the moon spirit essence liquid.

In fact, apart from Kenneth, the only person who could manipulate mercury in this way was the First Emperor.

Even Weber and Lenis, who are the successors, cannot control the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid as carefully as Kenneth. Instead, they need to give Mercury its own personality and use intelligent programs to let the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid act on its own.

But if that was all, it would naturally not be Kenneth who had been released from all restraints.

"Teacher Kenneth's magic attributes are 'wind' and 'water'. It is not a particularly rare physique, but what is scary is his ability to change. Teacher Kenneth is proficient in almost all types of magic and can move them in the 'flow' The metal (mercury)' is reflected in the body."

Lord El-Melloi (Kenneth) is the Lord of the Ore Division and a first-level lecturer of the Spiritual Division.

In other words, although Kenneth is proficient in almost all subjects of magic, 'ore' and 'spirits' are what he is best at.

It’s no wonder that he underestimated the Heroic Spirit Servant, because he may be the magician who is best at controlling ‘spirits’ among the magicians of this era.

What exactly happened in Kenneth's fight?

It’s similar to Nero’s next door.

However, on the battlefield here, Caesar stood still and just watched.

Weber originally thought that Kenneth might use his servants to weave magic spells around his identity as a servant.

Since it was Caesar, it must be a Roman-style magic—it turned out that Weber guessed it right, but not entirely.

"Mercury, ores, metals, and"

Weber looked at the 'obelisk' made of mercury behind Kenneth on the stage.

Egyptian obelisk.

The obelisk is a symbol of power, noble tradition, and what protects the pharaoh.

Speaking of the guardian of the Pharaoh, it is naturally Horus - however, compared to the sky god Horus, there is such an ancient god who was the true guardian of the Pharaoh before he was devalued by Osiris.

Its symbol is not the sky, but the earth. Its symbol is not the famous 'Eye of Horus', but the obelisk and the ore buried underground.

Ore, séance, Pharaoh’s guardian, Pharaoh’s guardian spirit, Pharaoh’s guardian spirit——

In Egyptian mythology, the god of destruction, the god of desert, war, and earthquakes who killed the serpent of destruction ‘Apophis’.

The underground mineral ‘Bone of Set’ is its gift.

There was almost no chanting process. Before Weber in the audience and Kenneth's opponent on the stage could react——

As a servant, Caesar has not yet taken action.

However, the giant god of the obelisk descended with an unrivaled momentum that swept everything.

It's not a summons from heroic spirits, nor is it a contact summons from the soul of a warship.

——Kenneth performed the divine séance on the spot

With mercury as its body, the giant god soldier of the obelisk, God Set, descended on the duel venue!

——to be continued!

After writing this, I discovered that Kenneth’s attributes are particularly consistent with Seth’s ()

As for the sense of déjà vu between Kenneth and the First Emperor, it is actually normal. After all, they are both characters set by Xu Yuanxuan.

As for the strength of the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid?

Even if you haven't read the novel "Book of Events", you will at least have some impression after looking at the effect of the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid in the concept gift in FGO.

FPX won’t just run back like this, right?

Damn, I’m watching the game with sore and itchy eyes, just show me this. My blood pressure is high.
