Shirou Emiya is challenging FGO

Chapter 2: Killing the Embryo (6K! Please read! Please vote!)
2. Supreme Sky Projection
According to legend, Gilgamesh, a hero of the Uruk Dynasty in the ancient Mesopotamian region, obtained a secret treasure known as "all the wealth in the world" after defeating the demon god Humbaba.

It is a huge treasure house, which is said to contain all kinds of wealth accumulated infinitely in the torrent of history before humans and even gods.

In order to use these treasures in battle with the highest efficiency, the young and energetic King Gilgamesh selected the weapons among them and used the overwhelming number of various weapons and treasures as high-quality rain of arrows.

Gilgamesh thought he had found the best way to use the treasure and showed it off to his friend Enkidu, but was reluctantly warned by the latter. After that, Gilgamesh realized that this was a foolish way to use the treasure and stopped wasting it.
However, history is a huge boomerang, and so is human growth. After going around in a big circle, Gilgamesh picked up this "extravagance" again, but this time the reason he adopted this tactic was not to "show off wealth" but to "express his disdain for money."

It's quite ridiculous that after becoming the richest man in the world, he says that he doesn't love money.

If I had not wasted treasures like this, how would the world know that I, Gilgamesh, regarded wealth and treasures as worthless?

That’s probably the mentality.

With such a mentality, the Hero King Gilgamesh would not be interested in things like the 'Holy Grail that can grant wishes' or the 'Holy Grail War'.

Because the Holy Grail is in his treasure trove.

What was the reason that made him decide to participate in the Holy Grail War?

Either the Holy Grail War itself was special, or the King of Heroes came with some special purpose - such as 'coming for some fun'.

Although most of the time, Gilgamesh's special purpose is to entertain himself
However, sometimes, Gilgamesh comes with a special purpose in the secular sense.

For example, this time.

When King Gilgamesh was summoned by this world - the world where Shirou lived - he immediately realized that this world was special.

It's not that the Fourth Holy Grail War that took place here, which had been written about in countless fan fictions in parallel worlds, was anything special.

But 'this world itself' is very special.

This world is a——[celestial sphere world].

This concept originated from the ancient Chaldeans.

In ancient times, a group of mystics who called themselves "Chaldeans" appeared. They defeated and destroyed King Solomon's ancient Kingdom of Israel and established their own country, the Kingdom of Chaldea, which means "the country of stargazing."

Astrologers who indulged in studying and gaining power (knowledge) from the stars realized in the process that the time of the planets was so long that it was tantamount to eternity for humans. Naturally, if they wanted to study them and obtain great results, it would also take nearly eternity.

Because of this, even if it was just to gain more time for research, the Chaldeans began to pursue the "eternal kingdom" and proposed the concept of the "celestial world."

The so-called "celestial world", also known as "Chaldeas", is a miracle of the universe praised by the Chaldeans as a "simulated planetary soul".

After eliminating all the mysterious terms, the so-called "celestial world" is actually just a projection.

It is not about projecting a certain object, but about projecting people, land, kingdom, planet, history, past, present and future together into an oversized "globe".

A virtual projected planet, but it is real and eternal, because the projected planet has a soul, and so do all the life on it. Everything seems to be the same as the normal world!
Generally speaking, it can be summarized as the so-called planetary-level projection magic, which is the miracle of reproducing and projecting the past, present and future of a planet.

Of course, the Chaldeans' desire to pursue the [celestial world] failed, and the Chaldean Kingdom that pursued eternity had long since turned into ruins.

Because of this, when Gilgamesh discovered that a celestial world had suddenly appeared, and that this celestial world was simulating the historical events of the Fourth Holy Grail War, King Gilgamesh was really interested and descended into this celestial world.

Are the Chaldeans—or their successors—at fault?
That would be an extremely foolish thing, a joy that would make people laugh at it, right? With this in mind, Gilgamesh came to the celestial world.

He even came here with his "clairvoyance" this time - Gilgamesh has the extraordinary vision that can see through the "future", in other words, he can see the flow of fate.

In the past, when he descended for "pleasure", in order to avoid possible spoilers that would reduce the fun, King Gilgamesh would choose to seal this ability himself even if he was defeated.

But this time he brought it.

Thus, King Gilgamesh, who descended upon the celestial world for the Fourth Holy Grail War, immediately read the story of "Fate/Zero" through his clairvoyance and another skill, 'Omniscient Star', which allows him to search for knowledge at will and perform one-click encyclopedia searches.

Gilgamesh then continued to play his role in the story of the Fourth Holy Grail War, waiting and expecting something unusual to happen.

However, to King Gilgamesh's disappointment, the F/Z story in the celestial world has always been following the script, just like a replica of the F/Z story, until the end when King Arthur's sword contaminated the Holy Grail, and then the pollution overflowed and Fuyuki City was set on fire.
Just when Gilgamesh was about to yawn out of boredom and began to doubt: "Do I have to wait here for another ten years until the later FSN stories begin before the changes will happen? Did I come too early? Should I change to a small account first?"

Finally, something unexpected happened that made Gilgamesh's eyes light up!

Miyamoto Musashi, a female warrior who is a drifter of world lines and has the ability to passively travel through different world lines, appeared in this celestial world created by the Chaldeans.

She was so special that even Gilgamesh, who had the ability to see into the future, could not accurately capture the "future" in her when he actively used this ability.

To be more precise, when Gilgamesh tried to use his clairvoyance to observe Miss Musashi's future, he could only see a series of ever-changing future scenes. Miss Musashi's future was in an extremely fluctuating state, and he could not find the biggest possibility.

Is this also the special feature of her physique?

"Are you the 'Singularity'? Bastard!" Gilgamesh, who had been holding back for a long time, felt that he had finally waited for the 'main show'.

Gilgamesh, who called Miss Musashi a 'singularity', opened the King's Treasure and launched his 'weapon arrow rain' barrage attack, which was criticized by his friend Enkidu as 'extravagant'!
From the perspective of Musashi, who had just landed in this world and saved a young boy, this was a completely unprovoked disaster, right?

Musashi had no idea why he was being attacked.

So she could only speculate: I just arrived and I am unfamiliar with the place, so I definitely don’t have any enemies. This enemy is targeting the boy I just saved.

So naturally, Musashi decided to fight to protect the boy.

It can be said to be the inertia of thinking, or it can be said that although Miss Musashi is bloodthirsty and aggressive, at the root, she is always a good person. She will not attack the innocent and weak, nor will she ignore those who need help in front of her - that is, the "good person (knight)" in the secular sense of the old society.

The sharp blades were unsheathed, and the dual-sword hero Musashi swung his swords to protect the boy behind him, trying to knock down the oncoming rain of swords - in fact, there were not only swords, but also knives, guns, axes and other various weapons.

Musashi planned to hold up the defense first, then observe the battle situation, look for a turning point, and finally run away - no matter how crazy about fighting she was, her goal at this moment was to save people, so she naturally would not delay.

The sound of golden swords——

But the moment Musashi swung his sword to knock down the incoming weapon rain striker, he realized one thing:

Although the two swords in his hands were undoubtedly precious swords, the weapons that the golden enemy threw out as if they were free were all top-grade!

The quality is simply unmatched! Besides, the samurai sword is not a weapon that is good at head-on collisions. Even if Musashi has the "Qi Refining" to protect his body and entangles the Qi in the blade to strengthen it, it is still the same!
If she really expected the dual-sword heroine Musashi Kenbu to intercept this kind of attack, it wouldn't be long before her precious samurai swords would shatter on the spot!

Then there is only one answer -

Musashi was quick-witted and found an opportunity. He turned his body, sheathed both swords, and at the same time pulled out the handles of the pair of swords that were flying towards him - he snatched the Noble Phantasm thrown by Gilgamesh with his backhand and used it to counter the Noble Phantasm thrown by him later!

Musashi kept waving the stolen treasures. If they were damaged in the subsequent rain of swords, he would just replace them with new ones. Anyway, the weapons "sent" by the enemy were endless!
Swords, guns, axes, clubs - for a moment, she seemed like a master of weapons, demonstrating her body's amazing athletic ability!

Good Musashi!
The figure leaping between the rain of swords and spears, standing firm on the boundary between life and death, is more like dancing than martial arts!
Gilgamesh couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Faced with his iconic barrage of Noble Phantasms, many people naturally had similar thoughts of choosing to seize one of them to counterattack.

But there are only a handful of people who can actually execute it.

After all, Gilgamesh has the "control" of all weapons. Even if he uses them as cannonballs, the connection between the treasure and Gilgamesh still exists. As long as he wants, he can take it back to the treasury at any time.

Therefore, in order to execute this tactic, one must have the ability to 'seize other people's treasures and use them for their own benefit'.

Miss Musashi obviously does not have this ability, but she unconsciously creates the same result.

All the weapons that were 'caught' by Musashi's hands were 'taken away', and the 'connection' between Gilgamesh and them was severed!
"interesting.!"

Gilgamesh was not annoyed.

Rather than feeling that his treasure had been taken away, he couldn't help but smile with delight, as if he had seen something rare and interesting.

The King's wisdom (Skill: Omniscient Star EX) allowed him to see through the essence of Musashi's abilities at a glance.

The effect of this skill can generally be understood as Gilgamesh having a Type-Moon Encyclopedia search engine in his brain that is always available.

The problem lies with Musashi's 'eyes'.

It is not some kind of magic eye, but a "superpower" that resides in the eye and projects cognition into the real world through spiritual will and vision.

[Third Eye] - This is what some people call this ability.

People who possess the third eye can "live in a world of their own cognition."

In essence, it is the power to make the world operate according to one's will.

Most people who possess this ability are limited by their own cognition - that is, the amount of knowledge they have, which results in them being unable to truly unleash this nearly omnipotent power.

But being ignorant and uncultured—being wise yet appearing foolish—also has its advantages.

Such as now.

Musashi had no idea that these thrown treasures were still connected to Gilgamesh, and that he could retrieve them at any time.

In Miss Musashi's simple common sense, if a weapon is thrown at her, she can of course catch it, and of course she can use it after catching it.

From Gilgamesh's perspective, it was his own projected treasure that was touched by Musashi.
No, that's not right.

Not 'after being touched'.

Instead, all the weapons thrown by Gilgamesh that were "seen" by Musashi were "disconnected" from Gilgamesh the moment they came out, becoming "ownerless objects", moving only with the inertia of the projectile's power.

Musashi himself didn't realize how "overstepped his authority" he had done unconsciously!
but.
With King Gilgamesh's arrogant character, at this moment he felt more 'interesting' or 'curious' than angry.

"Little thief - I want to see how long you can hold on!"

Gilgamesh did not lie. With very few exceptions, he did not care much about most of the treasures in the King's Treasure.

Musashi, who was picking up a big gun and brandishing it with great vigor, naturally didn't know about the things from Gilgamesh's perspective.

At this moment, she was protecting the boy behind her, while defending herself, she quietly shifted her attention to a revolver hidden at her waist.

This was a gift she received in a certain world.

Musashi estimated that if he could find an opportunity, suddenly pull out his gun and empty the bullets at the speed of light, perhaps he could divert Gilgamesh's attention. As long as he could create a gap for a moment, Musashi would be sure to escape.

This is an outrageous plan.

What? Can a pistol attack work on Gilgamesh?

Logically speaking, it is impossible, but Miss Musashi doesn’t know that it is impossible. Because Miss Musashi doesn’t know that it is impossible, Miss Musashi thinks it is possible.

Since Ms. Musashi thought it would work, then - of course it would work.

Although this plan was outrageous, it was indeed feasible, and if the opponent was caught off guard for the first time, the success rate was surprisingly high. But at this moment, during this fierce battle that could be called a re-enactment of a mythical battle, an accident occurred.

That was an unexpected event that was beyond everyone's expectations, not only Musashi and Gilgamesh, but also the two survivors of the Fourth Holy Grail War who were hiding and observing in secret, Emiya Kiritsugu and Kotomine Kirei.

Originally, the boy who was excluded from the fierce battle and was just a "background board" of the fierce battle and a "burden" to Musashi was protected behind.

Shirou took action.

Shirou had no idea of what Miss Musashi was thinking.

From his perspective, he could only see Musashi risking his own life to protect himself, with more and more scars on his body, while the enemy's attacks seemed to have no end in sight.

People will get tired. If they can't hold on any longer, they will be pierced by thousands of arrows and will be killed.

But Shirou didn't want to see Musashi die, and he didn't want to see her die protecting him.

Because of this, at this moment, a mentality similar to "a person standing on a high place" suddenly emerged in Shirou's mind.

What kind of mentality do people who are standing on high ground have?
Generally speaking, people standing on high places will constantly receive signals from their instincts of survival, such as "It's dangerous here! We must escape quickly!"

This unconscious survival instinct will urge people standing on high places to leave the place as soon as possible, but because it is unconscious, it is difficult for people to control it, and the final result will become an urge to "jump down".

Because "jumping down" is the fastest way for humans to leave dangerous heights unconsciously. This is why many people have the cognitive illusion of "being attracted to the ground at the same time as being terrified" when standing on a high place and looking down.

Shirou rushed out, taking the initiative to rush out of Musashi's protection.

This is undoubtedly a very stupid behavior. If it were put in some TV dramas or novels, it would definitely be criticized by the audience, right?

But at this moment, Shirou, the 'mushroom man' whose physical and mental state was very abnormal, had only one very simple thought.

You have to try to struggle and survive on your own.

If I can't do it, then I might as well just die. This will reduce the burden on Miss Musashi and allow her to live - this may not be a better choice.

The seven-year-old boy really thought so.

It is hard to say whether it is a subjective idea or an unconscious judgment.

"Mushroom people" lack the sense of reality of being alive, and all the five senses are remnants of memory. Such people will unconsciously ignore the "value of their own lives."

For example, at this moment, Shirou is still "trying to survive" not because he "wants to live", but because Musashi is protecting him - in other words, Musashi wants him to live.

However, if Musashi died because of me, then there would be no point in my survival.

So Shirou rushed out, not in a panic escape, but in a fight for his life!
Naturally, with the physical fitness of a seven-year-old boy, it is impossible for him to escape from Gilgamesh's attack range in time.

Blood turns into wind, blades turn into rain, and fatal death is just around the corner!
Shirou was ready to die.

Moreover, he sincerely believed that his death here would relieve Miss Musashi of a burden, which would be a good result.

But Shirou didn't intend to die so easily.

Because that is something Miss Musashi doesn't want to see, because that is something that will make Miss Musashi sad.

So, if possible, Shirou didn't want to see it.

Unexpected redemption, unexpected rescue, an unexpected kiss, the woman's beautiful figure and kind heart, this good woman has captured all the boy's attention at this moment.

She struggled with all her might, because she wanted to survive.

[Facing the 'King's Treasure', Miyamoto Shirou]

[Difficulty of dealing with it: 90 (It does not mean that you can deal with the King's Treasure by yourself after passing the judgment, but it can reduce the price Musashi needs to pay to protect him. In other words, if Shirou passes this judgment, the difficulty Musashi faces in the future will be reduced)]

[Miyamoto Shirou's 'Facing the King's Treasure': 1D100=99 (?)]

[Because of the great success, you will receive an additional bonus storyline correction]

Facing the endless swords, what flashed quickly in the boy's eyes and mind was the scene of Miss Musashi fighting against the barrage of attacks from the King's Treasure single-handedly.

The sword wielded by Miyamoto Musashi, the group of swords thrown by Gilgamesh, in Shirou's mind -

(No, that's not right)
Shirou's heart, unconsciously, made a "correction".

Shirou's 'sight' was not focused on those 'sword weapons', but on the 'people wielding swords', on the enchanting 'beautiful body' of Miss Musashi when she was fighting!
The 'power' engraved in this body, engraved deep within Emiya Shirou's existence, began to stir!
Originally, in most world lines, Shirou Emiya should have gradually awakened his power during the period between the ages of 17 and 18 due to various dangerous and bizarre events.

But in this world, this time has been brought forward to the present.

However, it is slightly different from the previous 'projection magic'.

Ability, awakened.

Shirou stared at Miyamoto Musashi in front of him——

——Replay the accumulated years

——Empathetic growth experience

——Imitation production technology

——Copy the constituent materials

——Imagine the basic framework

——Identify and create concepts

"——Projection·Begin"

If the Shirou Emiyas from other worlds were to come here and see their own special subspecies from this world line, they would probably be shocked to the point of being speechless.

'Reverse Refinement Projection' - No, that's not right, that's not accurate either.

However, perhaps it was a simple accident, or perhaps it was some kind of destiny, in this world line, Shirou experienced the most chaotic "super development".

The 'projection target' he desires is not 'weapons (power)', but 'human beings (existence)'.

The desire of exercising the mysterious power is not to "get the projected props", but to "maintain the state of projection", to maintain the state of "becoming the other party"!
In other world lines, Shirou Emiya, who is powerful enough, can project the target object's weapon and then reverse read the original owner's "usage experience" based on the weapon.

But this Shirou is different.

From the very beginning, everything in his sight was taken away by that beautiful woman, and there was no room for anything else.

Add to that the physical changes caused by being contaminated by the black mud that was "all the evil in this world" not long ago, and the combined result is that the mutation has occurred.

His goal is not to obtain weapons, but because of the side effects of the mushroom man's physique, his self-awareness has become illusory, and what he desires at this time is to "become a human (Musashi)"

Because he wanted to get close to Miss Musashi, Shirou projected 'Miss Musashi' herself, not the weapon in her hand as the projection target, but directly with her as the projection target.

Her 'physical fitness' and her 'fighting style' were forcibly engraved into the body of the seven-year-old boy by the projection!

then--

Shirou spun around.

He dodged the oncoming blade and grabbed the handle with his backhand.

Even if he did this, it was impossible for a seven-year-old boy to generate enough force to resist the "force (inertia)" of the weapon projected by the King's Treasure, right?
but.

In this world, just as magicians have their own magic powers, people who practice martial arts also have their own special energy, or called 'fighting qi', 'refining qi', 'true qi', 'innate qi' and so on.

Although 'Chi' is rarely mentioned because the protagonists of this world are often magicians, it does exist.

Ms. Musashi certainly has 'qi'.

and so--

At this moment, Shirou, who is in the 'projection' state, also has it!

The Ren and Du meridians are opened.

Seize the sword! Seize the knife!

Double sword dance!

Genre! Two days, one stream!
——Change of plans

For Shirou, as long as Musashi can survive, everything is fine.

But Musashi wants Shirou to survive.

It would be best if the two of them could live together.

In this case, there is only one correct answer.

In order for both of them to survive—

Maintaining the 'Projection State·Miyamoto Musashi Mode', Shirou charged towards King Gilgamesh's treasure!

There is only one answer!

How to do?
Only kill!

Kill Gilgamesh! Then both Shirou and Musashi can survive!

The killing intent was boiling—no, that's not right.

There was no "boiling", but rather a calm and silent sword, without the slightest madness, only the necessary violence that was justified in order to achieve the goal, like "killing embryos"!

PS: From Shirou's perspective, he doesn't know Gilgamesh at all, so he assumes that Gilgamesh is here to "kill Miss Musashi."
