Type-Moon: My Destiny Guide

Chapter 500 Justice, or Wish?

"The fog, the assassins lurking in the darkness... I think these elements have proven everything."

The scene inside the meeting room was a replica of yesterday's, with not only the Servants and Masters of the Black Faction gathered together, but also the Servants who had defected from the Red Faction.

After clearly stating that they would not help the Black faction, the Red faction's Servants gathered for only one reason—

“The room was filled with fog before our Master was assassinated.” Atalanta bit her lip.

Achilles casually toyed with his spear, his eyes darkening: "Moreover, while we were fighting the giants, a Servant used mist to capture the Master, forcing you to return to defend."

“It’s a woman. We’ve heard her voice many times.” Karna provided further information, and the group exchanged glances, understanding each other without words.

They went to great lengths to stop the Black Faction, even attempting to assassinate their Master and seize the Command Seals—

As expected, this is the work of Empress Semiramis and Priest Amakusa!

Unaware that there was a Blue team lurking in the shadows, and with the Black team repeatedly under threat, everyone naturally assumed that the Red team was the culprit.

The room shifted, and outside the window, the clouds rushed past. Lingxia listened to Shuoyue's analysis, unable to hide her worry.

"But... if we do that, little Jack will become the target of everyone's criticism."

Jack the Ripper, who has carried out assassinations time and again, will definitely be seen as a thorn in the side by the members of the Black Faction!

"Don't worry, Lingxia," Shuoyue comforted her. "Have you forgotten Little Jack's special ability?"

Intelligence erasure: B

At the moment the battle ends, all information, including the memories and records of witnesses and opponents, as well as her abilities, real name, and physical characteristics, will disappear.

"I suppose this ability has already begun to activate by now." Shuoyue's cold laughter echoed in the room before quickly disappearing.

—Just like the memories of the Black team members.

"Those aren't Servants we can't handle; I once faced—"

What was unusual was that Chiron stopped halfway through his sentence.

"What's wrong?"

"Master, do you know that Servant's stats? You must have witnessed him/her in person."

Or, to put it another way, during the campaign to defeat the giant Adam, all Masters were assassinated by him/her in person.

Fiore closed her eyes, probably recalling the Servant's stats. But she immediately looked at Chiron, puzzled.

"I'm sorry, I don't know. It's really strange, I think I read his/her ability values... Ah, huh?"

At this moment, Fiore covered her mouth in astonishment.

"Not only can I not remember his abilities, but I can't even remember his appearance, his gender!"

The other Masters echoed their alarmed agreement, while Achilles tapped his head and looked uncertainly at Chiron.

Is it that Servant's unique skill, or perhaps a Noble Phantasm?

"Probably. Just as Mordred wore a helmet that concealed her true name, it wouldn't be surprising if that Servant possessed 'something' that hid her true identity."

"I didn't feel anything unusual during the battle. I'm afraid that the information we had was erased along with the fact that the Servant had disappeared."

—What an exceptionally convenient assassin.

"That's why I chose Jack. Of course, there's a third reason I haven't explained to you yet."

In the sky garden, the 'thousand-layer cake' made by Shuoyue is still being peeled away little by little, but this time the 'filling' that is being peeled away is unexpected.

"That is to help Gold."

"Wait, you mean, help?" Siegfried asked in astonishment. "My Master... no, my former Master almost became a traitor to the Black Faction because of me!"

"Don't worry, Siegfried." Shuoyue's tone remained calm. "Imagine what would have become of Gorde if he hadn't lost you?"

"Well……"

“He will only become more arrogant because of you, and as long as you show a tendency to obey, Gold’s arrogance will not be cured.”

Siegfried remained silent in response to Shuoyue's incisive words.

He was well aware of Gold's problems, but he thought he could take it slow and there was plenty of time... Little did he know that Shuoyue would kick Gold straight into hell mode.

Anyone with even a slightly weaker ability to withstand pressure will be sent to Chaldea's new director.

“I understand your concerns, but it’s alright. Trust your former Master—and then pledge your loyalty to me with peace of mind.”

Understood. "

The sound of a door opening and closing came from the other end of the communication channel. In the private room, Shuoyue leaned against the mattress and sighed softly.

It was only because of Siegfried's extremely high strategic value that Shuoyue was willing to explain so much—don't you see that Avisbro was driven to despair by the ruthless Shuoyue and started to grit his teeth and farm for development?

After all, Siegfried and his group were rogue ninja, so their lack of cohesion was to be expected... Next, we still need to deal with Jack's situation... and finally, how to deal with the rest of the Blue Team after obtaining the Holy Grail...

Just as Shuoyue was about to shut down the communication, Artoria's voice suddenly came through.

"Wait, Shuoyue, is there something you're hiding from me?"

Her vigilance immediately spiked, and Shuoyue frowned slightly, her mind racing with various thoughts.

Has it been discovered? Is it Plan A or B? Or D? Or perhaps the fourth sub-item of the third branch in filing number [number]...?

Rather than whether or not to be honest, what Shuoyue cares more about is which matter Artoria found out about.

Just as a brainstorming session was about to unfold within him, the ahoge (shaggy king) wisely offered a hint:

"For example... you actually want to help not Gold, but your lovely student, Sieg, right?"

In Artoria's view, it was only natural that Shuoyue would turn around and put Gorde in a difficult situation in order to gain Sieg's support.

Of course, Shuoyue's explanation to Siegfried wasn't wrong, it's just that no one else grasped the deeper meaning. Only she, the exceptionally intelligent King Arthur, understood Shuoyue's true intention!

As expected of me!

Artoria thought smugly, while Shuoyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, amused by her own overreaction.

That's it? That's it? !

I thought some important intelligence had been discovered!

On the surface, Shuoyue still pretended to be slightly surprised and flattered her: "As expected of my king, you saw through my thoughts at a glance."

"Hmph, of course, after all, I'm the one who knows you best."

yes."

After showering the girl with compliments and successfully raising her mood, Shuoyue turned off the communication and stood in the dark room for a long time. The starlight was dim, but the young man's face was devoid of any smile.

It was as if he hadn't derived any pleasure from the conversation just now.

The more Artoria showed him trust, the more reluctant Shuoyue felt, because he knew what choice he would make in the end, and what kind of expression his king, who trusted him, would show at that time.

And, there was another arbiter who shared a bond with him, the gentle, resolute, and even endearingly naive saintess—

This cannot go on.

Shuoyue leaned against the wall, clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes shone with an intense rainbow-blue light.

Should one choose them and join hands to get through this Holy Grail War, or resolutely betray everyone, walk the path of blood and fire, and win the Holy Grail alone?

The night was long, and the iridescent blue of the rainbow shone brightly in the room until the young man stood up and strode out the door.

He must choose between justice and his desires.

Chapter 501 The Liberation of Artificial Humans

"The androids continue to assist the magicians in handling various affairs. In return, the Yggdrasil provides them with housing and all their living necessities, and guarantees their basic human rights, refraining from arbitrary beatings or verbal abuse, and from forcing them to conduct human experiments."

"As the creator of the homunculus, Gordes must name all the surviving homunculus. In addition, there is an additional clause for the servants. The servants' mana supply will still be borne by the homunculus, but excessive consumption is prohibited. Instead, it will be divided into multiple parts and carried out collectively to avoid unnecessary sacrifices such as being drained of mana and dying."

"In return, Servants have an obligation to protect the homunculus that supplies them from harm. The contract is secured by a formal and legally binding written document, which is signed by representatives of both parties or confirmed by blood."

This concludes the new employment contract between the Yggdrasil and the Homunculus.

In the conference room of the Yggdrasil, Fiore, representing the Yggdrasil, and Sieg, representing the homunculi, each dripped their blood and sealed their vows, acknowledging this hard-won agreement in the presence of many heroes.

This clause means that Sieg's efforts have not been in vain, and the salvation she decided upon at birth has been realized at this moment; as for Fiore, Yggdrasil no longer needs to worry about the possibility of a homunculus uprising, and before the Holy Grail War ends, the homunculus will surely stand on the same side as Yggdrasil.

"That's wonderful, that's wonderful, Zieg!"

No sooner had the contract been signed than a pink-haired paladin pounced on Sieg, wiping his snot and tears all over her body.

"Your dream has finally come true, sob sob sob..."

"It's okay, we succeeded, don't cry."

Although Sieg didn't have Astolfo's emotional mindset, he still gently patted his back with a satisfied smile on his lips. Not far away, Gold, hiding in the shadows, watched the female android, then looked away as if he found it irritating.

"What the heck? They actually want me to name her? This is awful! What is this little girl, Zieg, thinking...?"

"Idiot, naming is the parents' responsibility. It's only natural that you name all the surviving androids."

A homunculus who resembled Sieg but was more mature and sharp appeared beside Gordes, the axe in her hand gleaming coldly.

Gold recognized this android. Compared to Sieg, who had been fighting on the front lines since he was born and was far removed from the androids, she was the android representative who had miraculously survived to this day and was gradually taking on various tasks outside of combat.

An excellent team needs both brilliant heroes and a reliable leader.

If Sieg is a hero, then this android has unknowingly developed the potential to be a leader... Wait, why am I even thinking about these gadgets?!

Realizing this, Gold's arrogant temper flared up again.

"Really? So that means I can name myself whatever I want? Like idiot or something... Pfft!"

With the sound of an axe hitting fat, Gold knelt down again.

"This, this familiar pain..."

“Lord Sieg is right, this trick will shut Lord Gold up.” The homunculus brandished his axe-spear, showing no gratitude to his creator. “If you dare to deliberately choose some terrible names, I will use this to cut off the fat in your belly.”

Gold, of course, wanted to retaliate, but the two were too close, and Gold's body was too bulky. She was completely overwhelmed by the combat-specialized, physically superior android, who even delivered a sarcastic remark. In this respect, she truly lived up to her reputation as Gold's "daughter," having inherited his skills.

"Although you are a decent alchemist, you should change your arrogant and conceited nature, lest you implicate Lord Sieg."

Gold was so angry his teeth ached: "This was a nightmare! I should have added some restrictions so you couldn't resist!"
