Fujimaru Ritsuka, but the main god space

Chapter 330: The Secret of the Greek Stakes
After talking to the doctor and sending him to the infirmary, Ritsuka returned to his room.

However, he did not fall asleep immediately.

He was recalling what happened today.

The battle with the Bull of Heaven, the battle with Azidakaha, the battle with the Doctor.

And what Blank calls the 'status quo'.

And the subtle look on their faces when they were discussing the final trial of humanity.

The strongest brother and sister noticed something, but were unwilling to tell Ritsuka and others.

Ritsuka planned to ask.
-
"Sora, Shiro, can I bother you for a moment?"

“Hey!! Wait, wait a minute—”

When there was a knock on the door late at night, Ritsuka didn't feel any psychological burden in his heart. Because he was blank, he couldn't fall asleep even at one in the morning.

Sure enough, after a while, Sora and Shiro, both in their pajamas, opened the door and welcomed Ritsuka.

"Ahem, please come in."

"Please come in."

The brother and sister were on the left and the right respectively, and Lixiang also took the opportunity to go into the room.

Ignoring the galgame console that seemed to have not been hidden in time, and even more ignoring the four words [Fujimaru Ritsuka] on the female character's custom ID, Ritsuka went straight to the point and asked about the strange behavior of the brother and sister when they were discussing [Holy Grail War] today.

What did you find?

"."

Sora was silent at first, while Shiro beside him looked up cutely and muttered.

"It was cheated."

Ritsuka asked in confusion, "Cheating?"

"Ah" Kong pinched his brows and thought for a few seconds before organizing his words.

"Well, it's not a big deal, and it won't affect our actions. I'm just simply impressed by the audacity of the 'humans' who created this situation."

"?"

Then the blanks began to explain.

This Holy Grail War revealed more than just the myths and the origin of the 'Heavens and Myriad Worlds'.

Based on the current information and speculation, before they came to this small garden, there were two types of winners of the "Holy Grail War" -

God and Man

As mentioned before, the small garden is a gathering place of possibilities. Myths win, win, win - which will cause a certain myth to spread more and more in the heavens and all worlds - causing mysterious phenomena to gradually appear in that world - and eventually return to the Age of Gods.

This is not a good thing.

Gods are basically the stuff of the groove, regardless of civilization.

The Age of Gods is a history of exploitation of humanity. Even in modern times, humans are still being exploited by other humans, but at least there is the dream and possibility of "reaching a true utopia." In the Age of Gods, there is basically no hope.

And if humans win, it is at most a plunder of their worldview.

But the problem is that in the Holy Grail War, the probability of humans winning is actually not that high.

Just like this Holy Grail War.

Among the current Masters, who is the reserve for victory?

Answer: Hercules

Don't doubt it, a hero blessed by the gods must be the pinnacle of humanity.

Before this Holy Grail War, it was probably beings like Hercules who kept winning - the winner was often a being that possessed the blood of God and belonged to a certain [mythological system].

Because in fact, the "history" of the outside world is indeed rotating.

Greece, Northern Europe, [three major religions]. The winners keep rotating, and different mythological views take turns to win.

But no matter what, the winner is the 'Son of God'.

In other words, in most of the [Final Battles] so far, the [God] side has had the advantage.

"However, according to Mr. Jewel's reaction, this seems to be the first time that the game of 'The Final Trial of Humanity' has appeared as the Master, or in other words, as the Player."

Empty explanation.

"Ritsuka, do you think the current situation is a three-way competition between [God], [Man], and [Trial]?"

"People generally think so, right?" Ritsuka nodded, but he could of course guess what Blank meant, "But - you want to say that this is still a competition between [humans] and [gods]?"

"Correct."

Sora closed his eyes and stated the somewhat confusing reality.

"The [Final Trial of Humanity] is also essentially the [Human] side."

"Although it seems to represent the 'factor that destroys humanity' and should be the opposite of humanity, in fact, if you think about it a little more, you will find that it is a fallacy."

For example, if humans win the final trial, then it will be the same as Blank said, and dystopia will become 'correct'.

If "right" or "wrong" is defined by victory, then in this new world where values ​​are reshaped, who can deny humanity's final test?

nobody.

Destruction will become 'rebirth'.

"The reality that 'if the human race is cancelled, the human race will be destroyed' has been transformed into 'the moment the human race wins the trial, it will no longer be a human trial'."

It's not a game about 'solving the final trial of humanity', but a game about 'it doesn't matter even if you lose the final trial of humanity'.

That is——

An alternative approach to the [Final Trial of Humanity].

As long as the final trial of mankind is confirmed and the "destruction" in the definition of "the cause of mankind's destruction" is redefined, human civilization will not perish directly because of the final trial.

It's simply genius.
Escape is shameful but effective?
No, this isn't even running away, it's tampering with the definition of "failure".

Who on earth came up with this crooked idea?
Ritsuka thought of Azidakaha again.

The wooden stake on his head and the dystopian demons he summoned all came from a certain community, a community that had been destroyed before Ritsuka arrived at the box garden.

The "woman" mentioned by Bao Shi Weng.

If their leader is really that powerful, perhaps even the current situation was driven by her. So, her goal is to "keep humans alive"?
Or.
Blank glanced cryptically at the playing cards in the corner of the room.

The King card [K] lay flat on the table, with no expression on his angular face, quietly looking into the distance.

“There are people like this in every world.”

"what?"

"nothing."

Ritsuka questioned, but Sora didn't answer.

".In short, Bai and I are just surprised that someone could come up with such a method to [solve both the final trial of humanity and the survival of humanity at the same time]."

"According to this theory, the first enemy we have to deal with is not Typhon or Baror, but the representative of the Son of God—"

"Our next enemy is [Hercules]."
-
Hercules?
In his room, Ritsuka silently summoned the Heroic Spirit.

Immediately, Hercules appeared.

It was a lean, long-haired man.

A giant with bulging muscles and a body over 2.5 meters tall, his figure is larger than that of a human, and he looks like a statue made by God. His muscles and blood are overflowing with pure internal magic power that should be called divine energy. He can control the atmosphere on the spot with his aura alone, and his behavior for only a few seconds can make those who see him feel solemn.

Seeing that Hercules' head was about to hit the ceiling, Ritsuka immediately laughed dryly and motioned for him to squat down.

"Long time no see, Hercules."

"Master."

The man half-crouched.

As a great hero, Hercules would never do this to anyone.

Except for two people.

The captain recognized by Hercules, Jason, and the master recognized by both himself and Jason, Fujimaru Ritsuka.

However, although he recognized Ritsuka, Hercules himself did not have many memories about Fujimaru Ritsuka, only vague recollections and the instinct to serve.

Because 99% of the time, Ritsuka comes into contact with Hercules of the Berserker class.

He can only scream "Ah~~". The only chance to see rational Hercules is when he is sleeping and dreaming, when the two of them exchange memories.

Although the Berserker-class Uncle B has no way to comment on this memory, when Hercules returns to the Throne of Heroes as a Servant and brings some memories to the original body, the rational original body will approve of what Ritsuka did.

Therefore, he was willing to appear in the God of War Base.

Therefore, he was willing to help Ritsuka fight as a heroic spirit.

"I think you want me to fight him as your Heroic Spirit while I fight my main body, and absorb his 'memories' in the process."

The heroic spirit Hercules hesitated for a while.
"First of all, in conclusion, it can be done, but it is not recommended."

This is a long story.

Where to start?
right!

Let's start with [Why is Hercules so weak]!! (Wise General)
You know, this isn’t the first time Ritsuka has encountered Hercules during his journey to save the world.

Although 'strong', it is also 'weak'.

Not only does he have bad luck and always encounters various gods and demons, but even if he has good luck, he can never display the fighting power of Karna and Gilgamesh.

why?
the answer is--

“It’s [Self-division].”

Hercules explained.

"Because of the spread problem and the legend of [people becoming gods], I became a special Heroic Spirit. I am adaptable to all seven ranks."

However, it is just like when engineering students enter the school, the teacher will say with a smile, "You are a jack of all trades!"

If you learn everything, then you know everything!

"As a Servant, no matter which rank I summon, I am only hovering between the levels of 'a little strong' and 'a little weak', and it is impossible for me to exert my full strength."

The reason?
the answer is--

"Because the spiritual foundation is not enough." Hercules answered.

"If you want to carry my legend, even a crown-level spiritual base is a bit stretched."

"Plus, I have no confidence in [self-energy storage], so I simply castrated my own 'information'. No matter what form I am summoned in, I will only be able to exert the strength of the [human] part, and I will be castrated."

That makes sense.

Why is Hercules so weak?

Because he limited himself.

But - what does this have to do with what I just said?

"But there is actually a second reason."

Hercules closed his eyes.

"If it's just castration, I should be able to help you in other ways on your journey to save the world, Master."

"I didn't do it, not because of anything else, but because I couldn't."

"Other Heroic Spirits can find opportunities to modify their own [Settings], but I can't. I think you can guess the reason, right?"

Can’t I modify my own settings as a Heroic Spirit?

Nor is it able to manifest itself as it wishes?

It is impossible that Heracles was restricted by Heracles, because as the 'Hercules', Heracles should have the ability to manifest himself. In fact, many gods have cheated.

Then why couldn't Hercules do it?
Eliminate all impossible outcomes.

There is only one answer.

That is--

"My real body has been gone from the Type-Moon world for a long time."

Hercules nodded.

"Master, in fact, everything in the Little Garden World has always been my original design."
