Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 461 A nouveau riche with delusions of grandeur wouldn't dream of the streetlights at the alley entrance.

"Master...?"

Rider scratched his head with his large hands, looking at Luke's hand placed in front of his chest, where three Command Seals gleamed, proclaiming his status as Master.

"But aren't you a Caster? My Master said he can see part of your Servant stats..."

Servant is the physical manifestation of the Heroic Spirits in Valhalla, while Master is merely a magician chosen by the Holy Grail War to bear the magical power needed for the Servant's present life. The two should have no connection.

Luke's smile remained unchanged, but he let out a sigh:
"This problem is actually easy to solve. As long as you establish enough achievements to be remembered in history as a 'Master', you can naturally become a Servant."

"To become a 'Servant' as a 'Master'?"

Such a whimsical statement startled Irisviel, who came from one of the three starter families. She repeated it, her eyes filled with disbelief.

“I am not an ordinary Caster. In fact, I am only an ‘open’ level in the modern magic level test. I can barely be considered a magician who can stand on my own. I am far from being a senior, let alone compared with other real Casters.”

Luke gently stroked the Command Seal in his hand, his tone mild: "But... if it's about summoning Servants as a Master and controlling them in battle, I'm still quite confident in that regard."

"If there were a 'Master' class for Servants in the Holy Grail War, I would undoubtedly be summoned as such. However, Caster is a class that is quite close."

After all, every Master is a magician.

"Impossible, you're lying!"

Irisviel shook her head seriously, denying Luke's statement. She waited until the other Servants looked at her before offering her explanation.

"The Holy Grail War has only existed for a few hundred years. The previous Holy Grail War mechanism was not perfect, and the participating Masters could not possibly have the merit or qualifications to become Servants."

If any Master can successfully win the Holy Grail War and then use it to reach the Root, or use the Holy Grail's wish to accomplish an amazing feat, then there is a possibility of becoming a Servant.

However, according to the records of the Einzbern family, who were always attentive to the Holy Grail War, the first three Holy Grail Wars all ended prematurely for various reasons, and there were no Masters worthy of being remembered and praised.

"You're right, there were indeed no Masters who made history in the first three Holy Grail Wars."

To everyone's surprise, Luke did not refute Irisviel's accusations, but instead expressed his approval.

At this moment, Lancer's eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke in a deep voice:
"Valhalla has no concept of time. Past, present, and future, as long as there is the potential to become a Heroic Spirit, there is a possibility of manifestation."

"Caster, you... could you be a future Servant?"

A Servant from the future?

As everyone looked on in shock, they all turned to look at Lu Ke.

"As you said."

Lu Ke opened his arms, stretched his body, and answered with a smile.

"In the future, as the Servant summoning system matures and spirit particle transfer technology becomes possible, I survive a calamity and act as 'humanity's last Master,' traversing between singularities and lossy belts..."

"By forging bonds with countless heroes throughout history, receiving their help, and in turn helping them, we lead our Servants to overcome countless difficulties, defeat countless incredibly powerful enemies, reclaim the future, save countless worlds, and ensure the continuation of human order."

"This is my achievement as a Servant!"

Although he was an imposter, in the spirit of "since I played FGO, why can't I be considered Fujimaru Ritsuka?" Lu Ketian shamelessly claimed the achievements of the character he controlled in the game.

His voice possesses a unique magic, an unconsciously persuasive power, and when combined with his passionate and ambitious speeches, it immediately conjures up a variety of grand scenes in the minds of the audience.

Mountains, lakes, oceans, land, dense forests...

The majestic and cold holy city and the mysterious pyramids, the mighty army of monsters and the valiant soldiers, and the meteor shower of countless followers.

A world covered in ice and snow where the strong prey on the weak, a kingdom of ice and fire under the watchful eyes of the gods, a rule where all people are united in one body, a divine realm where creation and destruction are one, the budding of a new world under the rule of machine gods, a paradise realm where fairies sing, and another possibility for the divine realm of South America...

Unnoticed guidance alone cannot give the Servants present a complete picture, but even a fleeting glimpse of the scene in their minds is enough to inspire awe in them.

Countless Servants from different eras and backgrounds, all renowned in history, form a six-person team. Through strategic deployment, they defeat powerful enemies wielding the Holy Grail, fully-fledged gods, the seventy-two Demon Pillars, and all sorts of indescribable yet terrifying foes.

What an exhilarating battle!
Aside from monsters like skeletons, wyverns, artificial lifeforms, and chimeras, and the fact that certain Caster-class Servants appear a bit too frequently...

Saber couldn't help but step forward. "You mean, you became our Master in the future, which is why you know so much about us?"

"That's right, in another time and space, you are all my Servants!"

Luke smiled and nodded, then cast his gaze upon Lancer and Rider, defining the scope of "you," and continued:
"Not only you, but all the Servants in this Holy Grail War have been connected with me, become my companions, and shared unforgettable memories with me."

"This appearance in the world was just a coincidence, but it is a wonderful surprise to see you all again, with whom I have formed a bond. My wish is for you all to become my servants again!"

Luke extended his right hand, inviting Lancer, Saber, and Rider.

Lancer's gaze was touched as he carefully examined Luke. He held a certain degree of trust in Luke, who was of upright character and had spoken up for him. If what Luke said was true, then he himself would become his follower in the future, a considerate and trusting lord... If that was the kind of person he was, he was indeed willing to offer his loyalty.

But Dimuludo remained silent and did not respond to the invitation, only responding to Luke's outstretched hand with a look of regret, longing, and guilt.

He now has a new lord, Kenneth, who refuses to provide support and has no trust in him. However, it is not chivalrous to abandon one's current lord to serve a lord for whom one has not yet pledged allegiance.

Luke glanced at the rather conflicted Lancer, feeling that things were almost settled on this side, and then turned to Saber.

“I’m sorry, Caster, I’m not questioning your words. I can feel your reliability, resilience and perseverance as a Master just from your words.”

"But I have reasons to participate in the Holy Grail War and win, and it's impossible for me to join your ranks..."

Saber, exuding a pure yet fierce aura, simply and directly refused.

Although her Master, Kiritsugu Emiya, does not meet her moral standards, as the King of Knights, she is not so willing to be subordinate to anyone. Moreover, if she were to submit to Caster, wouldn't that be equivalent to giving up the right to the Holy Grail?

"Of course, Saber, I know exactly what you're after."

Luke smiled faintly, raised his index finger, and suggested, "I can give you the opportunity to make a wish upon the Holy Grail. Would you consider it?"

Saber was stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a second before shaking her head.

She has more faith in the wishes won by the sword in her hand than in the sudden appearance of a Master who claims to be bound to her future self.

"I'm also a pretty good chef, and many of you have been very satisfied with my cooking."

Saber: “…”

After a few seconds of pause, Saber still stuck to her principles and chose to refuse. It has to be said that this was a huge temptation for her. Although she still refused, her tone was obviously not as firm as at the beginning.

There is a play!

Just as Luke's eyes lit up and he was about to continue flirting, Rider, realizing what was happening, let out a hearty laugh.

"Not bad, not bad. You can command so many heroes and become a Servant as a Master. I get the gist of it. Caster, you have quite the appetite. Do you even want to 'conquer' the 'King of Conquerors'?"

"It's not about 'conquering,' but about becoming friends."

Lu Ke smiled and shook his head to correct him, saying that he felt he still had to pretend until he got his hands on it.

Rider patted the nearly broken Waver indifferently, "It all means the same thing to me. You just said that all Servants are connected to you, so give me some proof. I might not submit to you because of this, but if you can give me some details, the result might be different."

"Rider!"

Weber was dumbfounded and overwhelmed with sorrow. None of the other Servants had accepted him immediately. Was he the only one who would be abandoned?
Although the artifact he used to summon Rider was stolen from his mentor Kenneth, and his magic skills were also very poor... it's too tragic that he was eliminated so early and abandoned by his own Servant!

"No need to worry, Weber, Rider just wants to get some information out of him."

Weber's pitiful look made Luke chuckle and offer an explanation.

"After all, he was Alexander the Great, who unified Greece, conquered Persia, and swept across the Middle East. He wasn't as reckless as you think."

Rider maintained his cheerful smile, with an expression that said, "You really understand me," without offering any rebuttal.

Luke pondered for a moment, "Since the real names of Saber, Lancer, and Rider have already been revealed, to be fair, the real names of the other Servants can also be revealed."

He glanced sideways, raised his hand to face the outside of the battlefield, and observed from the topmost crane that the Servant wearing a skull mask was introducing himself in a chanting manner when the other party was surprised that he had been discovered to possess the "Presence Concealment" ability.

"Assassin, whose real name is Hassan Sabah, is one of the Hassan elders of the mountain, known as 'The Hundred Faces,' and is the nineteenth leader of the assassination order who inherited the name 'Hassan Sabah.'"

Assassin: "..."

Hey!
He was just collecting intelligence and his real name was exposed. Who could be more miserable than him!
Hassan vanished from sight in a flash, disappearing completely into the darkness, fleeing swiftly and frustratedly.

In direct combat, the "assassin" is usually the weakest Servant, but he is not an exception.

Lu Ke then looked up at a spot high in the sky and spoke with a smile.

"Archer, his real name is..."

"Shut up!"

Just before his true name was about to be revealed, golden light gathered on the streetlights around the battlefield, revealing a figure covered in gold, even with gold earrings.

Luke: ...

He still loves streetlights so much, he really does, I'm so heartbroken!
