Chapter 176 Kotomine Shirou Tomoe Gozen Form
"It seems you already have the answer in your heart!"
Seeing the joy on Shirou Kotomine's face, Merlin smiled and nodded.
"Yes, I have made my decision."
"It's good that you've made your decision," Merlin continued. "After all, all I can give you is advice; the final decision on whether to adopt it is up to you."
"But in any case, I thank you for your advice, Merlin."
"I said sincerely," said Shirou Kotomine.
Since he transmigrated, Merlin has been the one who has helped him the most.
Therefore, Shirou Kotomine was truly filled with gratitude towards Merlin.
"If you really want to thank me, then I hope you won't refuse me when I ask you for a favor in the future!"
Merlin winked playfully.
Having understood Merlin's thoughts, Shirou Kotomine immediately made his promise.
"Don't worry, I will definitely agree to your request."
Kotomine Shirou knew Merlin's thoughts all too well.
It was probably after this trip to Uruk that he hoped his Heroic Spirit clone could travel to another world with him as Shirou Kotomine's cursed spirit.
After all, he has lived in this world for far too long.
I've been watching it for far too long.
So he was really looking forward to a new life.
The two, having reached a consensus, smiled at each other and then sat back down on opposite sides of the chessboard to continue playing.
The two chatted casually as usual.
"Since you're preparing to participate in the Holy Grail War, shouldn't you prepare some relics beforehand?"
"Relics? We certainly need to prepare for that, but how do we prepare them? This isn't the future, after all. There are really only two kinds of relics that can be collected here, right?"
Kotomine Shirou pondered.
"Those two... they don't seem to fit together very well!"
Merlin naturally knew what those two things Kotomine Shirou was referring to.
He was referring to Gilgamesh and Enkidu, the two most famous heroes of this land.
These two are undoubtedly top-tier figures.
Moreover, their relics are easy to find here.
After all, this was the era in which they lived, especially Gilgamesh.
But in Merlin's opinion, neither of them was a good choice.
First is Enkidu, who, as far as Merlin knows, doesn't seem to respond to human summons.
As for Gilgamesh, everyone knows how difficult he is to please.
Even though Shirou Kotomine and he had a father-son relationship.
However, the Gilgamesh summoned by other Holy Grails is different from the Gilgamesh who was Shirou Kotomine's adoptive father.
So-called heroic spirits cannot be summoned.
Heroic spirits are not living beings, and Valhalla is not a place for them to gather.
Heroic spirits are merely fixed, data-like entities in the Hall of Heroes.
Those who are summoned are all Servants.
There is no difference between Servants and Heroic Spirits in terms of abilities or other aspects.
Servants are copies of Heroic Spirits, which then descend in various forms.
Therefore, it is possible to occasionally see the same Heroic Spirit appear as a Servant in different forms.
When a Servant dies, this experience will return to the Throne of Heroes, and when he is summoned again...
I will still remember the things from the past.
But at this time, Gilgamesh, who carries the beautiful memories between him and Shirou Kotomine, has not yet returned to Valhalla.
Therefore, the Gilgamesh who was resummoned has nothing to do with him.
Moreover, the world that Shirou Kotomine is preparing to go to is a parallel world where the Holy Grail has not been tainted.
Whether the Hall of Heroes in different parallel worlds is the same is uncertain to Shirou Komine.
Most importantly, Shirou Kotomine's purpose in participating in the Holy Grail War is to select high-quality spirits to become his own cursed spirits.
He had already reserved a spot for his own partner.
Whether he likes it or not, Shirou Kotomine will never allow a second Gilgamesh to become his cursed spirit.
"Actually, it shouldn't make any difference to me whether I summon a Heroic Spirit or not!"
Kotomine Shirou suddenly realized something.
"Anyway, my goal is just the Heroic Spirit itself. Even if I don't summon a Heroic Spirit, it won't affect my hunting of other people's Heroic Spirits, right? After all, my own strength is already sufficient."
Shirou Kotomine is quite confident in his abilities.
He wasn't intimidated even by top-tier Servants.
If the follower is a spirit, then he has a way to solve the problem.
Once his domain is activated, all he needs to do is stall for time.
Unless these guys all have World-Extending Noble Phantasms like Gilgamesh, or skills specifically designed to counter corruption.
Otherwise, the opponent would have no chance of winning at all.
"Are you an idiot? If you're not a Master, what are you going to use to make a wish?"
Merlin glared at Kotomine Shirou with annoyance.
"While you are indeed very strong now, that doesn't mean you can stop using your brain. Otherwise, you might die in another world one day."
Seeing that Shirou Kotomine was getting a little cocky, Merlin's voice also rose.
After all, he had high hopes for Kotomine Shirou.
He had high hopes for Shirou Kotomine's future and didn't want Shirou Kotomine to die because of his mindset.
"Oh, sorry!"
Upon hearing Merlin's words, Shirou Kotomine immediately realized his problem.
Recalling his earlier thoughts, Shirou Kotomine realized that he had really gotten arrogant.
This made him feel a little scared.
Having read countless works of entertainment in his previous life, Shirou Kotomine was well aware of the dangers that arrogance could bring.
"It's good that you realize it!"
Merlin nodded in satisfaction.
It's okay to get carried away.
The worst thing is when others give you advice, but you don't take it seriously.
Seeing that Shirou Kotomine quickly adjusted his mindset, Merlin was naturally extremely satisfied.
"How do I obtain artifacts?"
After some reflection, Shirou Kotomine turned his attention back to the issue of the relics.
After ruling out Enkidu and Gilgamesh, the question of where to obtain the relics became a problem that Shirou Kotomine needed to consider.
"Should I go back to my world first?"
After regaining his brain, Shirou Kotomine quickly found a solution.
For example, go back to your own world first.
Although in his world, the Fourth Holy Grail War had already ended.
But artifacts and the like are really not hard to find.
After all, both the Matou and Tohsaka families are among the three founding families of the Holy Grail War. As the families that created the Holy Grail War, they must have started collecting Holy Relics even before the Holy Grail War was born.
Thinking about it this way, these two families have been collecting relics for at least several hundred years.
Otherwise, how easy would it be to obtain those top-tier relics?
As far as Shirou Kotomine knows, the Matou family possesses relics of Lancelot and Medusa.
The Tohsaka family possesses Gilgamesh's relics.
Even the Kotomine family possesses Hassan's relics.
Even in Fuyuki City today, there is still a decadent old man who possesses a relic of King Arthur, Artoria.
That's right, it's Emiya Kiritsugu.
He was still alive at this time.
Perhaps because he failed to save Kotomine Shirou, he is now even more decadent than in the original story.
But because Avalon was there, he didn't die so early.
At that time, he was living in Fuyuki City.
They live in the mansion where Irisviel once lived.
Kotomine Shirou had secretly observed him before, after all, if things had gone according to plan, this man would have been his father.
But at that time, Kiritsugu Emiya was already in an unimaginable state of decadence.
But after reflecting on his experiences, Kotomine Shirou realized that this was actually quite normal.
After all, he lost all the important people in that Holy Grail War, and even his own beliefs were completely destroyed.
This outcome was far too cruel for someone who once held firm to his beliefs.
In short, there are plenty of relics for Shirou Kotomine to choose from in Fuyuki City, where he lives.
"Actually, I think you can totally get through Chaldea."
Merlin suddenly said.
"As an organization that summons Heroic Spirits to help save the world, they should have quite a few Holy Relics."
"Oh right, how could I forget about Chaldea!"
Kotomine Shirou's eyes lit up.
Indeed, how could there be no relics in Chaldea!
Putting aside the other artifacts, there must be artifacts for the three characters summoned by Chaldea.
For example, Solomon's relics.
Leonardo da Vinci's relics.
And Galahad's relics.
Furthermore, Shirou Kotomine does not believe that there are no other relics in Chaldea.
This is obviously impossible.
"Obtaining relics from Chaldea is indeed a good option, but then I'll need to talk to Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others."
"Just keep talking, I don't think they'll refuse."
"That's true!"
Kotomine Shirou smiled.
"Then it's settled."
"Speaking of which, there's something you've forgotten, hasn't it?"
"What's wrong?"
Upon hearing Merlin's words, Kotomine Shirou thought for a moment, but he couldn't come up with anything.
Upon seeing this, Merlin couldn't help but shake his head.
"You've forgotten about the upgrade you gave me to your receiving magic."
"Ah, that's the one!"
Merlin mentioned it briefly, and Kotomine Shirou immediately remembered.
He had indeed forgotten about it.
Of course, this is not because Shirou Kotomine has a bad memory.
Rather, the matter was no longer as important as it once was, so much so that Kotomine Shirou didn't keep it firmly in his mind, which led to the oversight.
The reason for this is because of Shirou Kotomine's experiences in the Jujutsu Kaisen world.
Previously, the receiving magic could only absorb the essence of a powerful creature into one's body, and then utilize that power by receiving it into oneself.
Therefore, it was only when Kotomine Shirou had just absorbed Tomoe Gozen's essence into his body that he issued this task to Merlin.
After all, if he cannot receive the power of a Heroic Spirit, then Kotomine Shirou will be completely unable to use Tomoe Gozen's power.
However, after the Jujutsu Kaisen, Shirou Kotomine found a new way to use these spirits.
That is to transform it into a cursed spirit.
In this way, Shirou Kotomine can summon Tomoe Gozen at any time.
In this way, her power can be used perfectly.
This is why the importance of receiving the power of Heroic Spirits has decreased dramatically.
So gradually, Shirou Kotomine forgot about it.
Of course, the main reason for this is that Shirou Kotomine has been very busy lately.
When Shirou Kotomine finally has some free time, he will definitely remember it again.
"Quick, Merlin, give me the upgraded Receiving Magic!"
It would have been fine if Merlin hadn't brought it up before, but now that he has, Shirou Kotomine immediately becomes expectant.
"Here you go!"
Merlin shoved a book into Shirou Kotomine's hands.
He then said irritably, "From the moment I met you, I was expecting you to ask me for this book, but in the end, I was the one who reminded you."
"You're really making me unhappy!"
"Sorry, sorry!"
Kotomine Shirou quickly apologized.
It was indeed his fault, and he accepted Merlin's criticism.
But now he's more eager to try out this new ability.
So Shirou Kotomine quickly flipped through the book in his hand and began to absorb its mysteries.
Seeing that Shirou Kotomine was engrossed in his book, Merlin said nothing more and sat down to wait.
As the one who improved the work, Merlin was also looking forward to the final result of his creation.
For a moment, the room became incredibly quiet.
With the aid of magical items, Shirou Kotomine reads extremely fast.
He understands things much faster.
After all, Merlin's changes were all based on the original method of receiving magic.
As for Mine Shirou, he has an extremely high level of skill in receiving magic.
That's why he was able to absorb this knowledge so easily.
"I see, so that's all there is to it!"
Having quickly absorbed and thoroughly understood the knowledge in the book, Kotomine Shirou stood up with satisfaction.
"I have mastered the upgraded Receiving Magic."
Kotomine Shirou said to Merlin with delight.
"Then hurry up and demonstrate it."
Merlin urged.
"Okay, I'll show you right now!"
After saying that, Kotomine Shirou closed his eyes and focused all his attention on his body.
This was, after all, his first time receiving the power of a Heroic Spirit.
Therefore, he needs to concentrate.
Following the instructions in the book step by step, and after discussing with the Tomoe Gozen within her, the magic was activated.
Shiro Kotomine had previously tried receiving other animals as well.
The process went incredibly smoothly.
The experience was also quite unique.
The feeling of receiving the Heroic Spirit this time was even more peculiar.
After all, the two are completely different in size.
Fortunately, Shirou Kotomine was receiving Tomoe Gozen, who not only did not resist in the slightest, but also cooperated perfectly with Shirou Kotomine's actions.
Therefore, the process went extremely smoothly.
After Kotomine Shirou fully absorbed Tomoe Gozen, he immediately felt a surge of power.
"What is this feeling?"
Opening his eyes and looking at his hands, Shirou Kotomine saw no change whatsoever.
Unlike receiving other animals, one acquires the characteristics of many animals.
After accepting the Heroic Spirit, Shirou Kotomine showed no change whatsoever.
Shirou Kotomine immediately understood this.
After all, Shirou Kotomine and Tomoe Gozen are similar in appearance.
That's why there has been no change.
When Shirou Kotomine activated the power within him, a suit of armor woven from magical energy was donned.
This is Tomoe Gozen's armor.
Then, with a thought, Kotomine Shirou summoned Tomoe Gozen's weapon into his hand.
"I never thought I could even use Tomoe-sensei's weapons and armor."
Kotomine Shirou couldn't help but smile.
Then another idea popped into his head.
"What about their inherent skills and Noble Phantasms?"
