Chapter 177 Even Stronger and Chaldea's Surprise
"Then, can I use Tomoe Gozen's unique skills and Noble Phantasm?"
The idea took root in Shirou Kotomine's mind as soon as it appeared.
After all, theoretically speaking, this should be achievable.
But the problem is that theory is one thing, and reality is another.
Even Shirou Kotomine wasn't entirely sure if he could actually do it.
"Tsk, what's the use of thinking so much? Even if you think about it a lot, it's not as good as actually trying it out."
Do it when you think of it!
Kotomine Shirou closed his eyes again and then withdrew his energy back into his body.
He wants to explore the full picture and limits of the current state.
As Shirou Kotomine continued to explore and research, he finally figured out all of his current abilities.
"Is this really me?"
Looking at the person in the mirror, Shirou Kotomine couldn't help but mutter to himself.
In the mirror in front of Shirou Kotomine stood a handsome man exuding sharpness.
However, what attracted the most attention was not the man's appearance.
It was the large horn protruding from his forehead.
That was the great horn that belonged to the demon, and it was also the great horn that once belonged to Tomoe Gozen.
At this moment, two large horns grew on Kotomine Shirou's head.
This is the change brought about by Tomoe Gozen's skill "Demon Seed".
After withdrawing his gaze from the demon-blood-like face of Kotomine Shirou, Kotomine Shirou turned his attention to his own palm.
The magic power within his body began to boil and become scorching hot.
And eventually, a raging fire broke out.
This is also one of Kotomine Shirou's abilities.
This is the power of his Noble Phantasm.
"The fact that I can actually use the skills and Noble Phantasm abilities of Heroic Spirits is truly astonishing!"
Looking at his own palm, Shirou Kotomine burst into laughter.
At this moment, Shirou Kotomine is thinking about more things.
Through this experience, Kotomine Shirou clearly felt the changes in his abilities before and after receiving Tomoe.
In addition to his inherent skills and Noble Phantasms, Shirou Kotomine's magical power and basic physical abilities have also been greatly enhanced.
According to Kotomine Shirou's calculations, all the promotions he received came from Tomoe Gozen in equal measure.
Therefore, the stronger Tomoe Gozen is, the stronger he will be after receiving Tomoe Gozen's power.
Tomoe Gozen's strength will inevitably continue to increase in the future.
After all, she is both a heroic spirit and a cursed spirit at this time.
In short, they are cursed spirits with heroic spirit abilities.
She can continuously improve herself by consuming the negative emotions generated by humans.
This is undoubtedly a win-win situation for Shirou Kotomine!
Shirou Kotomine won twice.
After sensing this power, Shirou Kotomine was once again filled with inspiration.
"Merlin!"
"I'm here," Merlin's voice replied lazily from behind Shirou Kotomine. "Don't tell me you have something else for me to do!"
Merlin, who had anticipated Shirou Kotomine's move, quipped.
Seeing this, Kotomine Shirou scratched his face somewhat embarrassedly.
He did have something to ask Merlin.
However, Shirou Kotomine's face has long been worn down and is no longer as thin as it used to be.
After a slight embarrassment, Shirou Kotomine continued, "I do have something to ask you, but it's something that's related to you anyway."
"Oh, tell me about it?"
Merlin was very curious about what Kotomine Shirou would say.
"Have you forgotten? Didn't we discuss the cursed spirits and heroic spirits a lot the night I came back? I want to design a more suitable spirit structure, preferably one that can enhance potential."
"In addition, there is the need to rework your previous work. The project I assigned to you has been changed. The power I will receive in the future will be a mixture of Heroic Spirits and Cursed Spirits. I think the magic for receiving pure Heroic Spirits needs to be modified."
Kotomine Shirou explained to Merlin with a righteous expression.
"Even though these are just minor issues, I'm still very angry that you said that!"
Merlin gave Kotomine Shirou a disgruntled look.
"Hehe, let's solve these problems together first!"
"I especially hope to resolve the second issue before departure."
Kotomine Shirou quickly said.
"I've already said these are all minor issues, but your attitude is making me very unhappy, and I don't want to work for you right now."
Merlin suddenly became difficult.
Upon seeing this, Shirou Kotomine immediately put his arm around Merlin's neck and led him to the side.
"No, come on!"
Without a word, Shirou Kotomine forced Merlin to leave with him and head to their usual research location.
As night fell, the two got busy again.
the next day.
A spirited Shirou Kotomine emerged from his room.
There was no trace of Merlin with him.
After all, they didn't stay up all night together. Kotomine Shirou returned in the early hours of the morning, took a short nap, and was refreshed.
With Kotomine Shirou's current strength, he could easily recover his energy after a short nap.
"It's time to go and have a chat with the Chaldea."
Recalling his conversation with Merlin last night, Shirou Kotomine's lips curled into a slight smile.
The Holy Grail War.
This is indeed the battlefield best suited for him.
Aside from the benefits, what's most satisfying is its duration.
Under normal circumstances, the Holy Grail War does not last very long.
The longest it lasts is about a week, while the shortest can end in just two or three days.
In the Holy Grail War, which the former director of Chaldea participated in, Solomon, whom he summoned, simply went on a rampage.
That situation simply couldn't last very long.
In any case, this time is more than enough for Shirou Kotomine.
"The Chaldea people should just be getting up by now."
"Then let's just go."
With that in mind, Shirou Kotomine headed straight for the Chaldea Embassy.
Upon arriving there, Shirou Kotomine saw Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu, and Anna, who were already up and eating breakfast.
Merlin was not present.
He probably hasn't gotten up yet.
Despite being a Heroic Spirit who doesn't need to sleep at all, Merlin behaves like a normal person, and is even sleeping in late now.
This is undoubtedly bizarre.
But if this strangeness appeared in Merlin, it would seem perfectly normal.
After all, Merlin himself has been strange from beginning to end.
Whether it's his existence or his actions behind the scenes.
In short, Shirou Kotomine was no longer surprised.
"Have you prepared anything for Merlin?"
"Oh, yes!"
Seeing Shirou Kotomine walk in without the slightest hesitation, Mash quickly answered his question.
"Then give it to me. People who sleep in don't eat breakfast."
Kotomine Shirou smiled and sat down, speaking to Mash.
"Oh, is that so?"
Although she still had some doubts, Mashu understood what Shirou Kotomine meant.
So she brought breakfast to Shirou Kotomine.
"Actually, I prepared breakfast for you, Shirou, so you don't need to eat Mr. Merlin's portion at all."
Mashu said gently.
While cooking breakfast in the morning, Mashu guessed that Shirou Kotomine might come, so she prepared a portion for him as well.
Actually, she had this idea last night when she heard that Shirou Kotomine also lived nearby during the celebration.
In fact, in addition to Kotomine Shirou's portion, she also prepared a portion for Siduri.
Her main concern was that Siduri would come early to tell them where they were to work, leaving them no time for breakfast.
Even without this incident, she could have eaten the extra food.
As a Demi-Servant, Mash still has a very strong appetite.
She can definitely eat more.
"Thank you so much, Mashu!"
Taken aback, Shirou Kotomine immediately expressed his gratitude.
"I just did it on a whim, there's nothing to be thanked for."
Mashu quickly waved her hand.
"Alright, Mash, please accept Shirou's gratitude. You truly deserve it, especially since even I didn't think of that. It's really your achievement."
Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said something.
"That's right, that's right."
Shirou Kotomine expressed his gratitude once again.
"Oh well!"
Seeing this, Mashu accepted Shirou Kotomine's thanks.
Later at the dinner table, the three of them chatted casually. Anna would occasionally chime in, though she only answered when Shirou Kotomine asked her.
But after spending time together, she gradually integrated into the team.
Gradually, she also started having conversations with Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu.
This is undoubtedly good news.
After all four of them had eaten, Kotomine Shirou then steered the conversation to the purpose of his trip.
"Speaking of which, I have something I'd like to ask Chaldea for help with."
"Oh, I wonder what the problem is?"
When they saw that Shirou Kotomine actually needed their help, Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu quickly showed curious smiles.
Having extensive experience in rescuing singularities, they knew exactly what they should do.
For example, making many friends.
Only when they have enough friends will they have the power to resolve the current situation.
Helping others is a two-way street.
If Shirou Kotomine doesn't ask them for help first, they'll feel awkward asking him for help later.
After all, Shirou Kotomine is not a Heroic Spirit; he is a traveler.
If they were to put Kotomine Shirou in danger for their sake without any explanation...
They couldn't bring themselves to ask.
Even if Shirou Kotomine were willing to help.
Therefore, it was the best news for them that Shirou Kotomine had come to them for help.
Besides that, they were also very curious.
What kind of situation could such a powerful Shirou Kotomine possibly require their help for?
So the two of them turned their attention to Kotomine Shirou.
Then Shirou Kotomine told them about his plan to participate in the Holy Grail War to increase his strength but his lack of artifacts, as well as his ultimate goal: to borrow artifacts.
During this process, Shirou Kotomine also mentioned how much participating in the Holy Grail War helped improve his strength.
Although the probability is low, he still needs to be prepared for the possibility of rejection.
"Oh, I see!"
Upon hearing what Shirou Kotomine said, Ritsuka Fujimaru suddenly realized what was going on.
"Shirou, are you planning to increase your strength as quickly as possible to help us?"
"It's mostly for the sake of this world. After all, my friends and friends of my friends are here, so I've done this many times before."
Kotomine Shirou explained.
Shirou Kotomine had no intention of deceiving the other party.
Reciprocate kindness to those who show you kindness.
This was Shirou Kotomine's motto at that time.
"They're all the same, they're all the same!"
After hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka waved her hand and said...
"Our goal is to prevent this world from being destroyed by the Magic King's power, which would lead to the destruction of all human history. So, by helping this world, you are helping us!"
"Since we share the same goal, I naturally won't refuse your request."
"Or rather, this is what we've been hoping for."
Fujimaru Ritsuka responded earnestly.
After learning about the situation in this world, even Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had saved several singularities, was now somewhat clueless.
There was nothing they could do; their enemies were three goddesses.
They had already personally experienced the goddess's power during the Sixth Singularity.
To be honest, without Bedivere's countless years of perseverance, it would have been very difficult for them to defeat King Arthur, who had become a god, in the Sixth Singularity.
But now they not only have to face goddesses, but there are three of them.
The thought of not having Bedivere's help this time gave Fujimaru Ritsuka a headache.
She has no other options right now.
In the days to come, he could only try to gain King Gilgamesh's trust while considering how to defeat the goddess.
Perhaps Gilgamesh, as the leader of the resistance in this world, has a solution?
In this situation, the stronger one's own side is, the better.
So how could Fujimaru Ritsuka refuse Kotomine Shirou's request?
Furthermore, after hearing the introduction of Kotomine Shirou's abilities, she also learned that Kotomine Shirou could absorb the power of Heroic Spirits and make it his own.
They can be summoned again to fight for you later:
Thinking back to Tomoe Gozen, with whom she had been drinking the previous night, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but feel a pang of envy.
"How wonderful it would be if I had that kind of power!"
Just think about it for a moment: if all the heroic spirits she encountered along the way had come with her, how much easier would it have been for her?
"What a pity, you can tell just by listening to it that this ability cannot be taught."
"I hope Shirou can bring back more powerful Servants."
Fujimaru Ritsuka thought to herself.
Subsequently, Fujimaru Ritsuka relayed Kotomine Shirou's request to Roman through her connection with Chaldea.
Upon learning of this, Roman agreed without hesitation.
After all, they really lacked help at that time!
Facing three goddesses at the same time, not only Fujimaru Ritsuka, but Chaldea was also constantly thinking about how to deal with the situation.
Compared to the goddesses, their combat power is still too low.
After all, the only ones who can stand against the gods are usually other gods.
Uruk, on the other hand, truly lacks god-level combat power.
In this situation, any method that can improve one's own combat strength is acceptable.
Especially after hearing about Shirou Kotomine's abilities.
Roman immediately looked down at his ring.
He even had the idea of having Shirou Kotomine summon Solomon in another parallel world.
