Chapter 469 The Deal is Made, Servant Summoned

Kingu did indeed set up the monster goddess Gorgon as a safety net to awaken Tiamat, but he also did not treat her as a mere tool, but rather wholeheartedly assisted her.

So far, he has regarded Gorgon as his comrade, and he hopes that Gorgon will always be his comrade.

His true purpose was to awaken Tiamat, create new humans, and eliminate the old humans; while Gorgon's purpose was revenge, she simply wanted to destroy all humans and destroy human reason.

Their goals are not actually in conflict.

For Kingu, the ideal scenario is that Gorgon successfully achieves his revenge plan, the old humans are completely wiped out, Merlin is killed, and the magic that puts Tiamat to sleep will naturally disappear.

Even then, the Gorgons could live alongside them in the new world recreated by Tiamat.

As for using Gorgon's death to awaken Tiamat, it was the worst possible option for Kingu, a last resort.

After all, no matter how much he regarded the Gorgons as his companions, his primary mission was still to awaken Tiamat, to awaken their mother.

However, if she could be saved when Gorgon dies...

Various thoughts flashed through Jin Gu's mind, but in the end, he looked up at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said meaningfully:

"Although I don't know how you know about this, given the circumstances, I think it's safer to just kill you here than to make a deal. What do you think?"

Are you worried that I'll tell Chaldea about this?

Fujimaru Ritsuka shrugged and said:

"Actually, if I wanted to do it, I would have done it a long time ago, wouldn't I?"

Jin Gu shook his head and said:

"I can't control your past behavior, nor am I interested in knowing it. I can only try my best to ensure that no accidents happen in the future."

As he spoke, his right hand transformed into a sharp blade surging with magical power, but instead of immediately launching an attack, he continued:

"Unless you can give me a convincing reason."

Fujimaru Ritsuka had anticipated this situation, so she quickly replied with a smile:

"Because of self-confidence."

"I believe that the Chaldea Masters will succeed. Even if they still don't know about Tiamat's existence, even if they have to confront Tiamat directly, they will definitely be able to successfully repair this singularity, ultimately defeat the Sorcerer King, and save humanity."

"Therefore, for me, there is no need to resort to any underhanded tactics in such a place."

"...You mean, they can defeat Mother?"

Upon hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's answer, Kingu unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth, his eyes filled with mockery and sneer.

"This is really..."

ridiculous.

It's not just laughable, it's downright delusional, given those third-rate amateurs...

Although Kingo really wanted to mock the other person's statement, seeing the resolute expression hidden beneath Fujimaru Ritsuka's smile, his smile gradually faded.

The other person's feelings were genuine, without a trace of falsehood. She truly believed that the Chaldeans could defeat her mother.

"……snort."

So, Jin Gu simply gave a cold snort and said disdainfully:

"Then let me wait and see."

Fujimaru Ritsuka responded with a smile:

"of course."

In short, the prerequisite for a deal—trust—was temporarily established, and the tension from before vanished as if it had never existed.

After a brief moment of consideration, Kingo quickly agreed to the deal proposed by Fujimaru Ritsuka.

If it could really save Gorgon's life, he would be happy to see it happen. Besides, all he would have to give up was a single, insignificant lock of hair.

but--

"Please allow me to confirm this first,"

Without hesitation, Jin Gu cut off a lock of hair, held it in his hand, and asked bluntly:

"You're not planning to use it to cast a curse on me or anything, are you?"

In most mystical systems, hair is deeply connected to the person, representing their vitality, and sometimes even their soul and life.

Therefore, many magic tricks related to hair involve applying a certain effect to someone through hair, and among these types of magic tricks, the most common is casting a curse.

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled helplessly:

"I've already said, I don't intend to use any underhanded tactics, and I'm not that bored."

Moreover, to cast a curse on a god-level being like Kingu is giving her magic skills a bit too much credit.

However, it's worth mentioning that thanks to Gaia's gift from the Conan world, she does seem to possess the ability to cast curses now, and it's unknown whether this will be effective against Kingu.

I don't think it'll be of much use, right?

Then, she shook off the distracting thoughts in her mind and explained with a smile:

"As for the reason, well... simply put, it's just to satisfy my personal collecting habit."

"Collecting addiction...?"

Kingu murmured the word with some confusion, then, as if realizing something, subtly moved away from Fujimaru Ritsuka and said with disdain:

"Tsk, what a strange quirk."

"So, humans are truly... hopeless in every sense of the word..."

"Eh?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and her face immediately turned awkward after realizing what he meant.

She wasn't talking about any weird or strange fetish!

...Oh well, never mind.

I'm so sorry, today is another day of bringing shame to humanity.

However, looking at the smooth green hair in her hand, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled with satisfaction again, and then waved goodbye to Kingu.

"Don't die, Jingu."

"Ha, you should say that to the Chaldea people."

Kingu retorted without backing down, watched Fujimaru Ritsuka's figure disappear from sight, then turned and left as well, preparing to return to the Blood Temple.

However, in the end he still didn't understand why the other party wanted to save Gorgon's life.

Is it simply used as a bargaining chip? He always felt it wasn't that simple.

In addition, there was something else that bothered him somewhat: the other party was very calm in his attitude, whether he was talking to him or mentioning the Gorgons, and did not seem to regard them as enemies.

"—A strange fellow."

……

...

After leaving the territory occupied by the Beast Goddess, Fujimaru Ritsuka landed on the top of a barren cliff and came to a relatively flat wasteland.

"Well, this is it."

Having decided on the location, Fujimaru Ritsuka took out a strand of green hair she had obtained from Kingu and muttered to herself:

"I don't know if it will work... Oh well, let's give it a try first."

So, she once again took out that familiar set of drawing tools from her [Treasures of the Minister] and began to draw a summoning circle on the ground.

The hair she obtained from Kingu was the sacred relic she had prepared.

That's right, the collecting obsession she mentioned wasn't some weird hair collecting obsession, but rather a Servant collecting obsession.

The Servants who appeared in the Seventh Singularity, whether originally allies or enemies, including the creator goddess Tiamat, have all become her Chaldea Servants. However, one key figure is missing—

Metal is solid.

This is the object she intends to summon this time.

Come spicy!

Chapter 470 Synergistic Summoning, Single Shot Double Yellow!

Kingu is the new soul that Goetia created by stealing Enkidu's body and using the power of the Holy Grail to give birth to within Enkidu's body.

Because they share the same body, Jingu's functions are completely identical to Enkidu's, and he can be considered Enkidu's successor.

If we consider only the power factor, it's not necessarily necessary to summon Kingu, since the real Enkidu is also currently in Chaldea.

However, she wasn't a power-hungry player without feelings; she was a collector who wanted it all. With such an opportunity to summon Kingu right in front of her, how could she possibly resist?

Now the craving for cigarettes is acting up.

Of course, while that's the case, summoning Kingu is not such a simple matter.

Because, like Jeanne d'Arc Alter, the other party is a special product born from a singularity, and is not a Heroic Spirit of the Throne of Heroes.

Successfully summoning Jeanne Alter and signing a contract with her is already an almost impossible miracle, and to make such a miracle happen a second time is even more difficult.

That's what should be done.

But now, she has returned to the Seventh Singularity, and Kingu is still alive and well, making the summoning of him a real possibility under the miracle!

probably.

This is just her guess; whether the summoning will be successful remains to be seen.

"Alright, all ready!"
