Chapter 259 Gilgamesh
"A heroic spirit summons?"
Pandora's help was somewhat beyond Roland's expectations, but his plan could still tolerate such small mistakes.
From the beginning, he planned to summon a heroic spirit, the eighth heroic spirit outside his class.
As the organizer, Roland naturally inherited the fine traditions of the Yusan Family and did not forget to leave some backdoors for himself.
This was the opportunity for a trial run when the ritual of the Holy Grail War was embedded in the Dark Sacrifice, which would allow him to get an additional chance to summon a heroic spirit outside of his job.
And he has already decided on this candidate.
For the grand ambition of Infinite Tsukuyomi, he is no longer what he used to be. He has no shortage of strength. Looking at the whole world, there are only a few people who can resist him.
Therefore, the implementation of the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan is very important. As the winner of the last Holy Grail War, Roland knows that it is easier to destroy than to build.
It is not difficult to win the Holy Grail War, but Roland put a lot of thought into protecting the Holy Grail. Only by chance, he stopped Archer, Kiritsugu, Karna and others, and successfully obtained the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail.
Compared with the small Fuyuki City, this world is much more dangerous, with magic associations, gods of disobedience, god-killers, and a group of unwilling old guys like Pandora hiding in the Netherworld.
They dare not intervene in the frontal battlefield, but each one is more disgusting than the last. Roland does not think that he will be favored by those people like Kusanagi Godou. Even if they are really willing to help, the feeling of being controlled, Just thinking about it made him feel crazy.
Therefore, a qualified collaborator is necessary.
Unlike the last time when he was in control of the overall situation and only needed to understand and be loyal to him, Kirei Kotomine needed a plan similar to Nagato's that recognized the outside world this time and would help him complete the Holy Grail War and kill others. A character who is involved in the process of heroic spirit and will actively advance the plan.
He doesn't have to be loyal, but he must be full of hatred for the world.
He doesn't need to understand Infinite Tsukuyomi, but he will definitely be interested in it and willing to help.
In addition, he must also have considerable influence on the balance of the battle, enough power to be feared.
In Roland's impression, he had already obtained the catalyst that best suited that person.
"So I said, fate is really favoring me. In this sense,
Maybe I am also a lucky person. "
As if he thought of something funny, Roland laughed frankly.
He no longer hesitated and took out a wooden box from the Shadow Kingdom behind him. After opening the lock, he revealed the catalyst he had prepared.
Pandora stood on tiptoe high and watched curiously.
In Roland's Holy Grail War, summoning requires the use of a catalyst, so that the body of the corresponding catalyst can be weaved from mythology, triggering the arrival of a hero from another world, and then anchoring his existence by sealing power.
Therefore, although it is possible for the weak to defeat the strong, compared to the free phase summons, the catalyst you use determines your lower limit in this war.
What was revealed in the box in Roland's hand was an ancient snake slough.
"This is...even among the disobedient gods, this child is the most rebellious one."
After repeated surprises, Pandora showed a wry smile, and then it turned into a complex expression of surprise and admiration, and made such a comment.
"Yes, but it will be fun, and he will be impressed by my plan."
Roland's body began to bloom with surging magic power, and the brilliant starlight like a dream covered his body, like a thin feather coat. The noble and arrogant metal merged into his body, and injected into the ceremony with a steel-like will.
This otherworldly power instantly transformed into pure magic power, and in response to the formation in front of him, it began to show fluctuations like lightning and thunder.
The catalyst floated quietly in front of the ceremony. The ancient aura from the Boat of the Dead connected here with Roland's approval and began to call out to the palace in the other world.
Pandora also calmed down and carefully looked at the scene in front of her. Understanding the theory and witnessing the actual process were two different things.
No wonder only Godslayers can participate in this Holy Grail War.
In just one moment, the magic power consumed is enough to easily drain an excellent magician dry. Only those who have captured the power of gods and have huge reserves of curse power have the foundation to bear this power.
"But, is this terrifying resilience the result of the world favoring him?"
Although for a god-slayer, this level of mana consumption is acceptable, it is enough to significantly reduce the total mana power by 20 to 30%. However, Roland only experienced this consumption at the beginning.
Then, his magic power fluctuated rapidly, as if there was an invisible source replenishing him.
"What if, with such power, you are truly qualified to deal with that disobedient child?"
"You're wrong," Roland smiled noncommittally. "Before I didn't have this power, I had the idea of summoning him, but in order to avoid that nasty thing happening that would escape my control, I put it aside."
"But from beginning to end, I will not be afraid of him. He has the same extreme ego as me and is difficult to manipulate. But unfortunately, as a historical existence, his conclusion is already doomed."
"Since his birth, he has been doomed. He has been isolated as a being that is neither a god nor a human being. With two characteristics, his sight is too far away and he is not understood. The huge power gave birth to In order to overcome the huge loneliness, he must shoulder his own mission, respect the gods, but also love human beings.”
This is the reason why Roland's favorite character is Kotomine Kirei. Compared to Gilgamesh, Kirei who only pursues the concept of pleasure is much freer. Unfortunately, there are many future choices.
Gilgamesh has the power to surpass the Holy Grail War, but his ending is foreseeable. His childhood personality destined him to eventually embark on the path of being abandoned by God and not understood by humans. Without facing Theia An opponent of Matt's level, and he will never show the heroic appearance.
Because of this, it is rather predictable.
"If it were him as a child, the image he summoned might be one of respecting the gods but disobeying them, but when he comes as an adult, he will only become a rebel against the gods."
Roland sneered as he saw the brilliant golden figure appearing in front of him in the twisted space, and the reality of the new contract coming from him.
"Speaking of which, although my compatriots have the title of Demon King, none of them can be called qualified. They are more like beasts who are constantly sharpening their minions and allocating territory and warriors who pursue the enemy. So, let them Let’s take a look at what kind of existence the legendary heroes are, woven from people’s fantasies and beliefs, right?”
The golden king slowly opened his red pupils and stared at Roland with cold eyes.
