Filial piety: the supreme emperor

"No, this question is a little subtle. I think the distribution mechanism of the Holy Grail should be random... Kageyama Shigeo, your class skill level should not be high. After all, as Nanaya Shiki said, your adaptability is not high."

Mu Yi was no longer bothered by their respective job ranks. After all, except for Uchiha Sasuke's original job rank, most of the people who signed up were concentrated in the Lower Four Riders. In addition, he himself was randomly assigned to be an Assassin, so it was expected that the job ranks of the others did not match their own.

But then again, why is Jotaro Kujo the Assassin?

Maybe it's because of his impeccable time-stopping assassination skills?

In a battle like the Holy Grail War that goes beyond common sense, it is meaningless to be too fussy about class distribution. After all, the Holy Grail War itself violates common logic.

"Okay, after confirming that everyone is present, Mr. Kong will guide our strategy. Kong...?"

As Mu Yi spoke, he turned his gaze to El Melloi II, who was standing beside him. He was holding a cigar and looking into the distance with an inexplicably nervous expression.

The scene was like that of an old father who was about to see the test results of his son.

"Ah, I'm fine. I just... had a feeling that I might run into someone old in this Holy Grail War."

El Melloi II noticed Mu Yi's gaze and quickly came to his senses, put out his cigar, and tried his best to calm down.

"The old friend you mentioned...Oh, I see. It's the Emperor, right?"

However, El-Melloi II forgot that Mu Yi was not completely ignorant of his past. Although he vaguely said that it was an old friend, who could the old friend of the princess be - this question was impossible for Mu Yi to not think of.

"As expected, Mr. Kong, you are suspicious... You were looking forward to this Holy Grail War from the beginning, and then you were unusually absent from class..."

Hearing Mu Yi's slowing words, El-Melloi II's mind went blank. He was about to understand that he was exposed and was about to explain, but Mu Yi took the lead and made a guess.

"You said you wanted to test out the new ability you learned from Kong Ming. Could it be stargazing?"

El-Melloi II breathed a sigh of relief and turned away silently. He didn't lie to Mu Yi that he had learned something new, but whether it was astrology was another matter.

A minute passed, and just as El-Melloi II was about to admit defeat and confess, Kenjiro walked up to the two men and interrupted their conversation.

"The star that foreshadows Si Zhang's death suddenly appeared. Although it's not above any of us, I think it's necessary to investigate the area directly below the star. Please, someone I know may have been summoned."

...

"So, now that everyone is here, are you planning to cooperate?"

Aizen Sosuke has used the Command Seal to fuse the Hogyoku again and entered its first form, but for some purpose, he still came to the exit of the ruined city and waited for others.

Apparently, other people had the same idea.

So, at this moment, the seven people from the red camp gathered here.

"Don't think too much. I just came to see what kind of people my so-called teammates are. After all, after eliminating the black heroic spirits and the two special factions, everyone sitting here is actually an enemy. Sorry, I don't agree with the saying 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'. Since we will have to fight each other sooner or later, it is best to avoid false cooperation."

Accelerator, with a crazy smile on his face, refuted Aizen Sosuke without any hesitation. It was like a twisted villain scolding an upright good man, although that was not the case. Accelerator was merciless because he felt the disgusting evil aura from the opponent's inconsistent vector position.

“Ahahahaha, hahahahaha! You guys can keep each other warm. I’m still used to fighting alone.”

Accelerator put his hands in his pockets, smiled like a child and walked towards the wasteland outside the ruins. Everyone present had their own thoughts, and no one tried to stop him.

"Heh, although that kid is childish, he does have some truth to him."

DIO stood up from the shadows, standing in a strange posture, pointing his finger at Aizen Sosuke.

Accelerator can sense the true nature of the seemingly honest Aizen Sosuke, but DIO is different. He was once described by Zeppeli as a "born villain" and "an irredeemable bad seed", and he can easily see through the other party's disguised nature.

To be honest, pretending to be a good guy is an outdated game for him.

"If we meet in other situations, we may become friends. But in this Holy Grail War, we are destined to be enemies."

Hearing what DIO said, Aizen Sosuke narrowed his eyes slightly. Although it was just a precaution, he realized that his decision to come and meet the others was still useful.

Just think about it, it is impossible for the Holy Grail that can summon him to deliberately summon fifteen weaklings and make himself the only protagonist of this Holy Grail War.

So...

"Why are you so sure we can't be friends?"

Aizen Sosuke hid his inner thoughts well, and still had a gentle smile on his face. People who didn't know his true nature might be moved by his smile at this moment - but no one at the scene was naive enough to believe that Aizen Sosuke was harmless. The only one who might believe him was the guard who was sleeping.

"I mean, since we're all teammates, why would we be like Archer and be so sullen and not work together properly?"

Aizen Sosuke said this sincerely, and drew out his Zanpakutō, Kyoka Suigetsu.

"To show my sincerity, let me first introduce my treasure..."

He had intended to hypnotize everyone, but now that Archer was gone, Lancer seemed to be sleeping, but that didn't matter.

Now...

For Aizen Sosuke, this is the best time.

"Please watch carefully..."

Aizen Sosuke's smile was still gentle. He showed the quantum wave blade, Kyoka Suigetsu, in his hand to everyone present, and then naturally pointed the tip of the blade into the void.

"Break it up, flowers in the mirror and moon in the water."

The moment the tip of the knife touched the void, there was a crisp resonance, accompanied by a flash of deep blue quantum beam.

Then, everyone's vision blurred for a moment, and then returned to clarity.

"..."

Although the first step of the plan was successful, Aizen Sosuke frowned secretly.

He had anticipated that Assassin might suddenly intervene, and prepared a quick-firing quantum pulse cannon as a counterattack. However, Assassin mysteriously disappeared at the same time as the Mirror Flower and Water Moon was activated.

Even under Aizen Sosuke's quantum lock, Assassin remained invisible.

What is this...

"I see. This weapon can use the disturbance of particles in space to create the illusion of light refraction, causing internal conflicts in the enemy. Interesting. This is extremely effective in team battles!"

Oda Nobunaga was the first to laugh, interrupting Aizen Sosuke's thoughts. Although the Quantum Wave Blade looked like a martial arts sword, its function aroused the interest of the curious Oda Nobunaga. Aizen Sosuke successfully attracted her attention.

As a leader who loves talents, Oda Nobunaga was generous in his praise, not to mention that the abilities demonstrated by Aizen Sosuke were indeed of great assistance to the team's operations.

"You have extraordinary insight. I'm sure you would be a wise monarch in other universes as well."

Aizen Sosuke saw through Oda Nobunaga's possible identity at a glance. He temporarily put Assassin's disappearance aside in his mind, quickly adjusted his mood, and expressed his respect to Oda Nobunaga at the right time.

"Hehe, you're quite a likable guy. Why don't you join me temporarily before defeating the enemy Servant?!"

Although Oda Nobunaga was only 152cm tall and Aizen Sosuke was 186cm tall, it was surprising that she was able to touch the other's shoulder without jumping or standing on tiptoe.

"it's my honour."

Aizen Sosuke bowed slightly. It was no big deal for him to humble himself temporarily, so when facing Oda Nobunaga, he naturally lowered his self-position.

The communication between the two was like that of true harmonious ministers, which attracted people's attention.

"Well, in that case, I will lend you a hand. I am a strategist, so I can't act independently like Archer. You can call me Renis or Rider as you like, and please take good care of me."

Renis's eyes flashed with cunning. Joining the alliance in front of her was a good choice for her. If possible, she hoped to avoid fighting as much as possible. After all, no matter how high her talent was or how perfect her fusion was, she was just a servant simulating a strategist. The battlefield of a strategist was not in a one-on-one duel.

"Hmm, it's only natural to take care of each other. If you want to join, then join! Caster over there, what do you think?"

Oda Nobunaga welcomed Renis's approach, and she naturally turned her gaze away from the sleeping guard and turned to Caster who was always standing in the corner.

"...Well, I will work with you."

Jace Beleren nodded, but his eyes hidden under his cloak were more focused on Aizen Sosuke, or more precisely, his Quantum Wave Blade Kyoka Suigetsu.

The real effect of the mirror flower and water moon is not what Oda Nobunaga described. What she saw was just an illusion created by Aizen Sosuke. Its real ability is [Full Sense Control], which controls the opponent's five senses and makes them completely believe the appearance, shape, texture, touch and even smell of a specific object.

However, although Mirror Flowers and Water Moons are characteristic products of the world of Death, they seem a little immature in front of Jace Beleren, who has traveled through the multiverse and is good at manipulating minds and memories.

But he participated in the Holy Grail War just to witness these colorful stories - he would not take action easily unless his own safety was threatened.

Jace Beleren did not expose Aizen Sosuke's methods. He just lifted his own illusion and made Aizen Sosuke believe that he was hypnotized by the quantum wave blade.

Without doing anything extra.

Absolutely not.

'Does it give you pleasure to secretly trip up your allies? You're getting closer to that word.'

"Okay, shut up!"

Jace Beleren did not speak. He was talking to another self in his heart. God knows why he was so bored that he took the initiative to create such a talkative personality - he almost forgot the existence of this personality until he came to this world and it popped up from nowhere. To be honest, apart from the clichéd temptation of power, this personality is useless and will only ruin his mood.

'It's up to you, but you have to understand how powerful you can be if you open your heart...'

"Balalabala, okay, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. If you want me to embrace the power, you'd better keep quiet."

As his other self quieted down, Jace Beleren finally regained his peace. Well, he admitted that he had just meddled in other people's business and used illusion to protect a scout from the enemy camp...
