Chapter 387

【Gray: "Then, what is the use of bringing this thing into the labyrinth?"】

【"Bringing the gold coin... into the labyrinth..."】

【The Second muttered repeatedly for a while, and soon after blurted out: "Right! The labyrinth, Albion is a labyrinth! A labyrinth is a kind of magic, and breaking through the labyrinth is a kind of passage ritual. Then, Heartless's intention for the King is very clear..."】

【"Yes, that's right. Since he entered the great labyrinth of Albion with the King's shadow, Faker, there is no other possibility."】

【"Damn it, why haven't I discovered it until now?"】

【The Second kept asking and answering himself repeatedly.】

【"Heartless is the head of the Modern Magecraft Department, so his most outstanding magic is obvious. The formula used will not be extremely specialized; instead, it will be like Emiya's formula, preparing only what is needed for this from the outside, without any redundancy to the point of annoyance."】

【"Yes, the second criminal motive, I know it, I know Heartless's purpose!"】

【The Second covered his face with one hand and said in a low voice: "But why? Why is that necessary?"】

【"No, as a magus, this is indeed a correct answer. However, that is only a correct answer. Aozaki Touko would probably laugh if she knew."】

【"What we are pursuing is not that kind of thing; it shouldn't be. By the way, if Heartless's accomplice is in the Grand Resolution, does that accomplice also understand this purpose?"】

Rin Tohsaka: "What are you talking about without a head or tail?"

Caules: "What exactly did you find on the gold coin? What worship? What labyrinth is a ritual?"】

Kayneth: "... o way—"】

Kayneth: "No, no, that's too ridiculous. How could there be such a crazy idea!"

Gordes: "Oh, Lord, did you see something?"】

Emiya Kiritsugu: "Speaking of worship, one thinks of gods. Heartless, wouldn't he be..."】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Wanting to summon a god?"】

Emiya Kiritsugu: "No, even crazier than that. He is probably wanting to create a god."】

Everyone: "What! Create a god!"】

【Gray: "Master, what is going on?"】

【The little apprentice's call finally woke the Second from his own world.】

【"If my current speculation is correct..."】

【The Second carefully chose his words and muttered: "Heartless is trying to use Albion to refresh the way of existence of all modern magi."】

【Gray: "Huh?"】

【She didn't understand; she couldn't understand what the Second was talking about at all.】

【Second: "For us modern magi, the goal is mostly to reach the Root. However, what if that is no longer necessary?"】

【Gray: "Uh... Master, what are you talking about?"】

【The Second also knew that what he said was too vague, and immediately explained: "First of all, magi in the Age of Gods did not set reaching the Root as a goal, because there was no need. For them, the Root is a very close existence."】

【"Our magic is always just driving magic formulas to briefly deceive the world, but their magic is to directly draw magic from the gods who are connected to the Root itself—no, at that time, it was gods."】

【"Undoubtedly, Heartless is attempting to create 'a god for magi'."】

Caules: "He really is going to create a god!"】

Fiore: "No, this is just the Second's guess in the video..."】

Gordes: "Creating a god or something, that's too ridiculous."】

Ishtar: "Hmph, ignorant mortals, actually looking down on gods like this."】

Rin Tohsaka: "However, what does this have to do with the King of Conquerors?"】

Waver: "... 'm afraid Heartless wants to turn the King into a god."】

Everyone: "!!!"

King of Conquerors: "Huh? Let me become a god?"】

Waver: "Judging from various signs, this is the most likely."】

King of Heroes: "Hahaha! Then I'd like to see if it can succeed."】

He is least afraid of things like gods.

【Gray: "Create a god! Is that possible?"】

【Second: "Nothing is impossible. Iskandar originally had a legend of having Zeus's bloodline. What's more, in historical facts, there was even a movement to include Iskandar in the twelve gods of Olympus."】

【"In mythology, there are already many heroes who have been promoted to new deities or constellations, and the great Iskandar cannot be unqualified. As I said before, there is also a rumor in Egypt that he is the reincarnation of the god Amun."】

【"By the way, further speaking, the type of magic that draws mystery from high-level existences is still used in several regions such as the Far East. Next, all that needs to be done is to adjust the formula to suit this purpose."】

【Gray: "However, turning a Heroic Spirit into a god, what is that method..."】

【Second: "Lady, you told me that Albion is a labyrinth."】

【Mentioning the labyrinth, Gray suddenly realized, remembered the matter of the King of Skeletons, and said: "The passage ritual of death and rebirth..."】

【Second: "That's it."】

【"Faker is Iskandar's stand-in. Using her and the labyrinth as magic, applying the passage ritual of death and rebirth to the Heroic Spirit, this result will of course directly connect to the real Iskandar in the Throne of Heroes."】

【"Then, in the process of expanding Faker to the real Iskandar, there is a spiritual foundation that extracts the essence more, which can be called spiritual foundation re-advent."】

【Gray: "Spiritual foundation re-advent?"】

【Second: "Of course, under normal circumstances, it will still remain within the scope of a Heroic Spirit. Even if it approaches the original power as a Heroic Spirit, it cannot reach the realm of gods. No matter how many times it re-advents, it will only approach the upper limit as a Heroic Spirit. Servants restrained in the frameworks of Faker and Saber are originally just one Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side of the Heroic Spirit as a whole. Therefore, even if I thought he wanted to summon Iskandar, I never thought he was attempting to deify Iskandar."】

Kayneth: "Heartless, he really is a lunatic..."】

Rin Tohsaka: "Is it really possible to deify a Heroic Spirit?"】

Feng Xi: "Of course it's possible. Isn't there one in the group now?"】

Rin Tohsaka: "Huh? Who?"】

Zhang Jiao: "Hehe, of course it's Lord Feng Feng Fuxi."】

Feng Feng Fuxi: "Hmm, as for me, it is indeed very similar to this situation."】

Feng Xi: "Ancestor Feng Feng Fuxi was just a mortal during his lifetime, but after becoming a Heroic Spirit, he was sublimated into a god because of the praise of later generations. However, this process took thousands of years, and the praisers all recognized him as a god from the bottom of their hearts."】

Waver: "So it's what's called becoming a god through worship."】

Waver: "Although it takes a long time, this also shows from the Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side that Heartless's plan is likely to succeed."】

Feng Xi: "Of course it might succeed. Rome already has a precedent."】

Waver: "Yes, the Grand Lancer who appeared before, Romulus-Quirinus."】

Kayneth: "God Ancestor Romulus, under the blessing of worship, merged with the identity of the supreme god in the Roman mythological system, Quirinus."】

Kayneth: "However, just as the kid Feng Xi said, this process requires a long time, probably thousands of years."】

Kayneth: "Heartless, what exactly does he want to do?"】

【Second: "Creating a god requires several things, Ad, you should know, right?"】

【Ad: "Iheeheehee! It's really rare for you to ask me something!"】

【Second: "Because you are a suitable candidate, your seal is also about that, right?"】

【Ad: "Heehee! Yes, the Spear of the Vanguard is not just a simple Noble Phantasm, because it is too close to the source of the stars. If you don't seal such a thing properly and use it for a long time, the user will become close to a god."】

【"However, even King Arthur could not achieve that change, because human lifespan simply cannot reach it. At most, it will only make the mental structure lean towards a god, but that's all."】

Feng Xi thought to himself: "But in another world, a certain Lion King succeeded."】

【Second: "That's exactly it. Time is not enough."】

【"To adjust to a god, it takes time to accept worship or the essence of heaven and earth. Just as worship takes time to spread among people, to adjust the spiritual foundation into that form, it will Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take a huge amount of time no matter what."】

【"Time..."】

【Mentioning this word, that name immediately flashed in Gray's mind.】

【"Ah! That Emiya's..."】

【Second: "Yes, the magic of Emiya who received the Seal Designation."】

【That magic creates a flow of time isolated from the outside world—a top-level magic that affects the rules of the world.】

Emiya Kiritsugu: "..."】

The ancestral magic of his own family, can it actually reach this level?

【Second lit a cigar and said: "Use Emiya's sealing formula to solve the problem of time, and plus the fact that Heroic Spirits don't age, you can continue to apply almost infinite time load until you reach the realm of gods."】

【"There is one more thing. The Grand Resolution is held in a special location every time, which is the center of Albion. And during the Grand Resolution, the normally sealed embankment will also be opened."】

【"Because the Grand Resolution itself was originally a magic ritual, held in the heart of the dead dragon, this will cause the ancient heart to be immersed in unparalleled magical power."】

【"Heartless probably intends to summon Iskandar again in Albion while the magic embankment is opened for the Grand Resolution. Once he becomes a god, he has prepared the previous currency, through the economy operated by currency, which is one of the most powerful forms of worship."】

【"Using gold coins as a catalyst, you can build a very simple form of worship. It is really a scam with modern magic characteristics. Especially, if you use coins that existed since Iskandar's lifetime and are related to him, it will be easy to connect the path to Iskandar who has become a god. What's more, the operator is that Heartless."】
