Chapter 556: The Unlucky Matou Shinji
Watching the extremely angry Gilgamesh, Kotomine Kirei also hurriedly pulled him and said,
"Don't be angry, Gilgamesh. If it was snatched away, just snatch it back, right?"
"Huh? Snatch it back? Isn't that nonsense! As a King, if things are snatched away by mongrels, of course, I have to snatch them back. The point is! You kid, instead of going to snatch it now, you have the leisure to come and join the fun. If you weren't me, I'd really want to use Enkidu to hang you up and beat you."
Gilgamesh looked at Kid Gil before him with a "hate that iron won't become steel" look, but he still couldn't bring himself to do it. After all, no matter how ruthless Gilgamesh is, he is still soft-hearted toward himself.
And Kid Gil, looking at Gilgamesh before him, finally broke free from his embarrassed state.
"Cough, cough, alright, alright. When I meet them next time, I will definitely teach them a lesson. As for now... I ask you, you aren't still planning to compete with Lin Ye for the Holy Grail, are you?"
"What? Is that not allowed?"
Kid Gil: "No, I just feel like I've seen the scene of you being hung up and hammered by him again."
Gilgamesh...
"Sigh~" Gilgamesh suddenly sighed. He thought of the scene ten years ago when he was hung up and beaten by Lin Ye, who even drew a turtle on his face.
That is the eternal pain in his heart.
Ten years. This shadow makes Gilgamesh unable to help but drink a bowl of soft-shelled turtle soup every time he sees a turtle. But he can't do anything about Lin Ye.
His own strength is fixed with no room for progress, but this guy Lin Ye is still alive; he has an infinite future. Although Gilgamesh's Star of Creation cannot see through Lin Ye, he can tell from the one kick Lin Ye showed that this guy's strength is definitely progressing.
Thinking of this, Gilgamesh could only sigh:
"Sigh~ when will I ever be able to avenge this turtle grudge."
"Actually, it's not impossible." And at this moment, Kid Gil's voice suddenly rang out. "A single chopstick can be broken easily, but a pair of chopsticks isn't so easy to break, right?"
Kid Gil also wanted to beat Lin Ye up. It had nothing to do with anything else; he just simply wanted to win against Lin Ye once. After all, whether old or young, Gilgamesh's petty personality remains unchanged.
In the original FGO timeline, Caster Gil originally saw through everything and left gracefully after the herb of immortality was eaten by a snake, becoming the Wise King. But later, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and then he shouted,
"I am the man who overturns failure and starts over!"
And then he went to get another portion of the herb of immortality and put it into the Gate of Babylon.
At this moment, the two guys, one large and one small, who couldn't stand each other, reached a strange consensus. Although the two hit it off, their hands gripped tightly in mid-air.
Their confidence had reached its peak at this moment!
Only the Mapo Tofu priest on the side silently took out two chopsticks from the kitchen and applied force.
Snap!
The Mapo priest hurriedly threw away the four chopsticks in his hand and said, "Forget it, let's just eat pizza today."
Chopsticks or whatever, better not let them see them recently.
And at this moment, at the Matou residence, in the basement.
"Grandpa, what do you want with me? I was just preparing to take Rider to find some unlucky people to replenish some mana."
The harmless Matou Shinji came to Matou Zouken. With his level of Magecraft, he naturally didn't know what kind of battle had taken place today.
And looking at the relaxed Matou Shinji, Matou Zouken also said with a "disappointed that he isn't living up to expectations" look,
"Don't waste time. How much mana can ordinary people's blood have? Relying on them is not as good as relying on yourself!"
Matou Zouken was anxious; he was truly anxious. Originally, when the Holy Grail was polluted, he wouldn't have been like this, but now, what was placed before him was a clean Holy Grail!
His chance for eternal life was right before his eyes!
But after he saw the battle between Lin Ye and Heracles using Magecraft today, he suddenly didn't have much confidence.
The All the World's Evils had been packed up by Lin Ye and thrown into the Imaginary Number Space; it was estimated that it had long been swallowed clean by Tiamat's Sea of Life.
After all, no matter how awesome All the World's Evils is, it is still one level lower than the Evils of Humanity.
Therefore, it was impossible for the old worm to create a Sakura like in the HF route, which is also why he didn't go looking for Sakura later.
At this moment, the old worm grabbed Matou Shinji's shoulder and said,
"Shinji, do you... want to become a mage?"
"Ah? Want to! Of course I want to, Grandpa!" Matou Shinji shouted excitedly. "You don't know, Grandpa, at school, that Tohsaka Rin and that Tohsaka Sakura actually dared to reject my pursuit! Especially that Tohsaka Rin, she doesn't even look at me straight! I must become a mage stronger than them! When that time comes, let's see if they still dare to oppose me!"
0 ··Seeking flowers····· ·····
"Hahaha! Good!!!" The old worm laughed. As long as there is desire, as long as there is ambition. "This... is what you said!"
After saying this, the old worm suddenly pushed Matou Shinji, and immediately after, Matou Shinji fell directly toward the worm pit!
"Ah!!! Grandpa! What are you doing!!!"
Matou Shinji shouted, but the only response was Matou Zouken's cold and unpleasant laughter.
"Heh, didn't you want to become a mage? Grandpa is helping you."
Clatter!
Countless worms emerged from all directions! These worms all crawled toward Matou Shinji!
The next second, only Matou Shinji's screams remained in the entire Matou residence!
"No!! Grandpa! I don't want to be a mage anymore! No!! Ah!! Ah!! Grandpa!! Help!...! Help...!"
Matou Shinji was wailing, but unfortunately, no one would save him now. The only conscience of the Matou family, Matou Kariya, had left Fuyuki City after the last Holy Grail War and never returned, so... Matou Shinji's fate was already sealed.
Looking at Matou Shinji in the worm pit, Matou Zouken looked at Medusa on the side.
Watching the aura on Medusa getting stronger and stronger, he also revealed a smile.
As everyone knows, a Servant's strength is directly proportional to the Master's strength, though of course, it cannot exceed the upper limit.
Originally, when Matou Shinji was the Master, her attributes were...
