Agumon who wants to become Omegamon
Page 227
I was an upright paladin. I didn't do any of the shady things. Even if I did, it was because I was corrupted.
Thinking about it this way, Huangfu Weilai felt a sense of relief. He didn't need to think of any excuses for scapegoating him anymore, because they had already put a way out for him.
"A boring trick..."
However, Gilgamesh seemed to disagree with Huangfu Future's reasoning, and then said something rather inexplicable.
Of course, since Huangfu Weilai's strength was recognized by him, his words did not contain the disdain that belittled Artoria's royal path; he was simply dissatisfied with Huangfu Weilai's actions.
"Because I am not a king." Huangfu Weilai's words were simple, but they conveyed a subtext: don't confuse my path with your king's path.
Moreover… Huangfu Weilai’s eyes flashed with a strange light as he looked at the Hero King before him.
"A heart that seeks protection is never boring... How a capricious tyrant can eventually become a wise king praised by all—only that king can know the depth of emotion and complexity involved..."
Huangfu Weilai smiled knowingly and said something pointed.
"You bastard... Humph..."
Gilgamesh glared at Huangfu Weilai with a mixture of embarrassment and complicated feelings, before finally letting it go with a soft snort.
Because the moment Gilgamesh transformed into the Wise King coincided with the death of his close friend Enkidu, only Gilgamesh himself could truly understand the emotions and feelings involved.
Of course, Huangfu Weilai is now certain that the tyrant in front of him, the Hero King, does not know that even if he possesses that memory, without that emotion, it is equivalent to reading his own autobiography.
Otherwise, Gilgamesh would not have appeared in the world as a hero-king, but as a wise king.
"Excuse me..."
Iskandar looked thoughtfully at Huangfu Weilai and Gilgamesh. His keen intuition told him that Huangfu Weilai was referring to Gilgamesh.
At the same time, he thought of the story of Gilgamesh and suddenly understood.
"Hahaha—enough of that. Since Berserker has already expressed his lack of interest in the Holy Grail, then everyone present…" Iskandar downed a glass of wine in one gulp, a blush rising on his rugged cheeks, and said…
He said, "Is there some wish you want to entrust to the Holy Grail...?"
"My wish has been fulfilled: to serve my lord!"
He answered quickly, showing his quick wit, but his lord didn't see anything wrong with it, especially since his lord had brought his fiancée with him…
"So, Rider, what is your wish?" Two Brushes elegantly took a sip of wine, his face showing admiration for the fine brew, but then his handsome face turned to Iskandar.
This piqued the curiosity of everyone else, since the host of this banquet could be considered a conqueror king, and they all looked at Iskandar with curiosity.
Huangfu Weilai remained calmly drinking his wine, because he already knew Iskandar's wish from the spoilers. Besides, with such fine wine available now, why would he need to be distracted by an answer he already knew?
Huangfu Future had never tasted such delicious wine before. While this was partly due to its divine quality, the more important reason was that the Digital World did not value food and only needed data to exist, so there was no need to eat.
This led Huangfu Weilai from feeling stifled at first to eventually getting used to it... It just goes to show how the environment influences people.
"I want a physical body..."
Iskandar hesitated for a moment before answering their questions.
As expected...
"Haaah—shouldn't your wish be to conquer the world???"
The other Servants didn't react much, but Waver jumped out first, saying in astonishment.
"Conquering the world is an inevitable outcome, but we need to enjoy the process of conquest with our compatriots even more."
Iskandar gave Webber another flick on the forehead, to which Webber responded matter-of-factly.
Finally, it was Artoria's turn.
"I want to save my homeland and avert the fate of Britain's destruction."
It's a familiar scene, only now it's live.
Huangfu Weilai's eyes flickered as he gazed at the girl who bore the name of a king.
Immediately, this was met with rebuttal from the other two champions.
"So that's how it is, the ideal king..." Iskandar looked at Artoria with some heartache. In his opinion, the fate of the country should not be entrusted to a young girl.
Having witnessed the brilliance of Artoria's holy sword, Iskandar would not utter any words that would disapprove of her as king.
But Gilgamesh was different. He said matter-of-factly, "If it weren't for Berserker, a worthy opponent, you might be a laughing stock!"
Aside from Huangfu Weilai, who hadn't spoken yet, even Brush had spoken. Of course, unlike the two kings, he had a very good impression of Saber, this king who followed the code of chivalry and even possessed the title of King of Knights.
He was deeply impressed by her idea of saving the people.
Finally, all eyes turned to Huangfu Weilai, because he was the only one who remained silent.
"Berserker, what do you think?" Iskandar asked first.
"Sigh!" Huangfu Weilai didn't answer the question, but instead asked Artoria directly, "So, what do you plan to do now that you have the Holy Grail?"
This question surprised Artoria. She had thought it was about Huangfu Future's thoughts, but instead it was a question in return.
However, she replied matter-of-factly, "Since the Holy Grail is an omnipotent wish-granting machine, then it must be able to…".
In other words, she hadn't even figured out a method yet, which made Gilgamesh sneer again.
"Then let me tell you how!" Huangfu Weilai closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were a dazzling holy blue.
Seeing this, Gilgamesh was the first to become serious. He knew, of course, that this was not an EX-level Clairvoyance, because he knew who possessed the EX-level Clairvoyance.
But these holy blue eyes are no ordinary eyes; they are demonic eyes with the perspective of a god!
Even if the eyes of a god don't have the ability to see the past and future, it's not impossible for them to see some predetermined destinies, although this depends on the god's power and ability.
"Please speak!"
Artoria also became serious. She had thought she would be the only one finding the answer, but she hadn't expected others to offer choices, especially after seeing Huangfu Weilai's holy blue eyes. She already knew her court law was unreliable.
Given the teacher's abilities, it is now reasonable to assume that Huangfu will possess similar abilities in the future.
"Do you know about quantum recording fixed tape?" Huangfu Weilai asked first.
The other Heroic Spirits immediately showed some understanding, but Artoria shook her head in confusion.
Gilgamesh then launched into another sarcastic remark, revealing that Artoria was still alive.
He also took the opportunity to explain, clearly telling Artoria that the destruction of Britain was an inevitable fate, because it not only concerned the future development, but also the final counterattack of the Age of Gods. In short, it was a matter of destiny.
A nation destined for destruction!

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Holy Grail, the First Dragon, and the Lion King!
That's something all the Heroic Spirits know, but Artoria isn't a pure Heroic Spirit. She doesn't know some of the things that are happening here, and of course, Huangfu Future doesn't know either, but he can't stop him from reading the script outside the world.
Whether it's gossip or important matters, Huangfu Weilai can say that he knows a little about them.
This "one or two," it really is just "one or two." Once it comes to the specifics of how to do it, Huangfu Weilai might be completely lost, but it's just talk... Huangfu Weilai believes he's quite capable, especially with what he said.
It's not fake, it's real, but whether it can be done is another matter entirely.
So, Huangfu Weilai explained to Artoria again what quantum recording fixed tape is, or what human reason foundation is.
It is particularly important to point out that unless one denies the fundamental principles of human beings, no one can shake the fixed roots.
"So...does this mean my failure is beyond redemption?"
Artoria looked at Huangfu Weilai with a slightly bewildered expression; there was no doubt that her long-held beliefs had been shaken.
Huangfu Weilai carefully observed this idealistic queen raised by Mei Liangxin. The fate of the nation weighed heavily on her shoulders, even on the eve of destruction. She desperately sought a way to save it, even at the cost of...
He signed a contract with Alaya, the restraining force of Type-Moon, which puts him on the brink of life and death.
Of course, what Huangfu Weilai didn't mention was that a certain Arthur, deeply loved by the Root Princess, once had the potential to save his Britain, although the consequences weren't good...
"You must have a way!"
In the end, Artoria looked at Huangfu Weilai with a determined gaze. Since Huangfu Weilai said he had a way from the beginning and even added some knowledge about quantum recording fixation tape, it meant that he really did have a way.
Moreover, Artoria is, after all, a victorious queen who has emerged from the battlefield. Although Huangfu Weilai has shaken her resolve, it is utterly impossible for her to give up. Ultimately, she will still take action to obtain the Holy Grail.
Move, until you face that collapse.
Upon hearing this, the other followers all looked at Huangfu Weilai. They were also very curious about what methods could be used to change the fixed outcome when history was already set.
Believe it or not, Huangfu Weilai really does have it, but the process is not something that ordinary people can do.
"The Holy Grail," Huangfu Weilai said calmly.
"What, Berserker? Are you trying to amuse me?" Gilgamesh spoke first. "I must say, you succeeded. You wouldn't be trying to make me laugh to death so you can steal my treasure, would you? Hehehe—"
Gilgamesh burst into laughter, while the other Servants were momentarily ashamed. Was the final outcome still all about the Holy Grail in the Holy Grail War?
"The Holy Grail of God." Huangfu Weilai glanced at Gilgamesh, who was laughing heartily, and the others with different expressions, and continued calmly.
“Uh…” Gilgamesh’s laughter stopped abruptly.
"Don't joke around, Berserker, are you here to make fun of me?" As expected, Artoria was naturally furious. Of course she knew God—after all, he was so famous—but she couldn't distinguish between God's Holy Grail and other divine interventions.
What's the difference between this and the Holy Grail that magicians imitate?
Gilgamesh was well aware of this, after all, he could use the Holy Grail in Uruk as a drinking vessel, but the real Holy Grail... even he had never seen it.
"The Holy Grail in God's hands is the real Holy Grail, the real all-powerful wish-granting machine; all other Holy Grails are merely imitations."
Huangfu Weilai continued, and unusually, Gilgamesh did not argue, because this was tantamount to saying that there were counterfeit goods in his Gate of Babylon's vault, but he did not refute it.
Because he knew perfectly well that what Huangfu Weilai said was true. Although he had never met the person Huangfu Weilai spoke of who had reached the otherworld, he was still aware of the Holy Grail's arrival. For one thing, he knew from the Clairvoyant chat group...
There was a magician king who received God's power.
"That's impossible to find..."
Artoria also realized the difference between the two, but there was no point in talking about the Holy Grail, which had already disappeared without a trace, so her voice became low.
however……
"I'm just telling you the method; whether you can do it or not is your business. After all, the survival of Britain is none of my concern."
Huangfu Weilai said coldly and indifferently, "Let alone Britain, which I don't know, even if it were Artoria herself, I wouldn't bother with her. After all, I have no interest in this two-dimensional character that countless people want as their wife."
interest.
The reason Huangfu Weilai brought up the method was not only because he happened to know it, but more importantly because he was curious about what Artoria would do if she knew these methods. That was all!
"Hoo—please speak." Artoria took a deep breath, gesturing for Huangfu Weilai to continue. She also understood Huangfu Weilai's thoughts; she wanted to see what choice she would make. As for whether she could make it, that remained to be seen.
That's none of his business.
"Turn Britain into a Lostbelt," Huangfu Weilai said calmly, while also explaining the Lostbelt as the history of losers who prospered through wrong choices. In other words, it's the dregs of history.
However, it is undeniable that Lostbelts and Pan-Human History are two parallel but non-intersecting histories. Without the intervention of the Alien Gods, these Lostbelts would probably still be outside of Pan-Human History.
After all, there are countless parallel worlds, and it's not impossible that multiple Lostbelts could exist without the destruction of Britain.
To make it easier for Artoria to understand, Huangfu Weilai also told him about an emperor he knew, an emperor who foresaw the future and became a true eternal emperor—the First Emperor!
Because of Huangfu Weilai's personal reasons, he preferred to refer to the First Emperor as—
"The First Dragon!"
Huangfu Weilai continued his narration in a calm tone, but the other Servants were far from calm, especially the three kings.
Artoria looked lost and bewildered, while Iskandar's eyes were filled with a fiery light.
"A king who has reached the end of the imperial path? How I regret that I cannot meet him!"
Iskandar's tone was filled with unspeakable regret, especially knowing that what he once thought was the end of the world actually had a terrifying country on the other side—Qin!
"The First Emperor... the First Emperor, he really dares to call himself that..." Even Gilgamesh was not calm, because according to Huangfu Weilai's words about an emperor who would rule the entire world, then his Uruk must have perished.
This was an achievement even Gilgamesh hadn't accomplished. Even someone as arrogant as him couldn't bring himself to call the other a bastard. In fact, out of curiosity, he even used the 'All-Knowing and All-Powerful Star' to search for this person whom Huangfu...
The future will revere the First Dragon, but the result is—he can't find him!
What does this mean? It doesn't mean that the country doesn't exist, but rather that Gilgamesh didn't have the ability to find it, not even his 'omniscient and omnipotent star' could.
"So, Berserker?" Artoria finally came to her senses first.
"Do you want me to turn Britain into a Lostbelt?"
"It's not something you can do just because you want to. You don't have the power. Now that you're nearing death, what can you do on your deathbed? Even in your prime, wielding the Holy Lance and the Holy Sword, protected by that scabbard..."
"It's impossible to do."
