Chapter 231 King of Uruk, Shirou Kotomine
Chapter 232 King of Uruk, Shirou Kotomine
Standing aside, watching with a smile the bickering between the two sworn sisters, Ereshkigal and Ishtar, Shirou Kotomine found it particularly amusing.
But Shirou Kotomine never imagined that he would soon become the one being used as a joke.
"Shirou, come here for a second."
Suddenly, Gilgamesh's voice rang out from not far away and reached Kotomine Shirou's ears.
When Shirou Kotomine turned around, he saw Gilgamesh reaching out to him.
Beside him, many of his aides were also looking in his direction.
"What's wrong?"
Kotomine Shirou quickly walked over.
Feeling the strange gazes directed at him from those around him, Shirou Kotomine's mind immediately became active.
Although the exact situation is unknown, Shirou Kotomine is likely involved in something serious.
Seeing Kotomine Shirou approaching, becoming increasingly cautious, Gilgamesh immediately stepped forward and pulled him into the crowd.
Then he pushed Kotomine Shirou in front of him and said with a smile, "Since Shirou has already inherited my throne, how can I take it back?"
"Therefore, I do not intend to return to the throne, and Shirou will take over my position."
"That's it!"
Gilgamesh smiled and then pushed the still-unresponsive Kotomine Shirou forward, while he himself stepped back.
"etc!"
"What's going on here?!"
Pushed into the crowd, Shirou Kotomine quickly turned around and looked at Gilgamesh, asking loudly in confusion, "What exactly do you mean by this, King Gilgamesh? What do you mean by 'I will inherit your position'?"
"Although Siduri and the others did intend to support me to ascend the throne, that was in the event of your death, so it was only temporary."
"Now that you've returned, it's only right that you reclaim the throne!"
Although Shirou Kotomine did talk to Ereshkigal about what he would do after ascending the throne when they were in the underworld.
But he has no intention of ascending the throne now.
Now is the time for battle, and he needs to be at the forefront of the war as a warrior.
How could he handle official business from the rear?
Therefore, Shirou Kotomine is currently very resistant.
"The throne is the throne. There's no reason for you to give it to me or for me to yield to you."
"Now that you are the king, you should properly fulfill your responsibilities as a king, instead of here trying to push the throne back to me."
Gilgamesh rebuked him righteously.
But the more he did this, the more Shirou Kotomine felt there was something wrong.
"And what about you?"
Kotomine Shirou quickly walked up to Gilgamesh and loudly questioned him.
"Now that I have resigned from my position as king, my next step is naturally to go to the front lines and fight as a warrior!"
Gilgamesh's lips curled up slightly.
He turned to Merlin and said, "Merlin, although we made a promise that I would rule Uruk from the rear as a magician, I think it's time to end that promise. What do you think?"
"Of course, things are completely different now than they were back then."
Merlin chuckled and waved his hand.
Merlin understood Gilgamesh's actions.
He was never the type to let his people fight on the front lines while he stayed behind.
If it weren't for the greater good, even if he were the more mature and wise King Gilgamesh at this moment, he still wouldn't be sitting in the rear to oversee things.
Leading all the soldiers on the front lines is his true nature.
Gilgamesh's existence was once extremely important in Merlin's plans.
That's why he made an agreement with the other party not to go to the front lines casually.
But at this moment, due to the butterfly effect caused by the appearance of Shirou Kotomine, Uruk is far beyond what they expected in every aspect.
Moreover, two of the three goddesses in the alliance have now joined their side.
Their only remaining enemy is that goddess of monsters.
And behind her lies an even deeper culprit, the true nemesis Tiamat.
Under these circumstances, Gilgamesh could no longer suppress his fighting spirit and thus handed over the throne to Shirou Kotomine, intending to personally go to the final battlefield.
In any case, in his plan, he would eventually pass the throne to Kotomine Shirou.
Let him revive the Mesopotamian world ravaged by Tiamat.
Thus, this sudden succession took place.
It was precisely because Merlin understood the reasons behind this that he agreed to Gilgamesh's request to terminate the agreement.
"What?! You're going to the battlefield?!"
After listening to Gilgamesh and Merlin's back-and-forth dialogue, Shirou Kotomine instantly understood the intricacies of the situation.
After all, he knows more than anyone else.
But this made Shirou Kotomine even more anxious.
He quickly leaned close to Gilgamesh and whispered, "What will I do if you go to the front lines? The final battle can't be without me!"
"Besides, I've been preparing for the final battle lately, so I don't have time to deal with official business."
"Don't you still have your thought form?!"
Gilgamesh responded in a similarly low voice.
"Don't worry, how could I not know your current situation? It won't affect you at all."
"You only need to send one of your thoughts to the throne to handle state affairs; your main body can continue according to your previous plan."
"That's why I said you're the most suitable person to inherit the throne!"
After patting Shirou Kotomine on the shoulder, Gilgamesh suddenly said loudly, "Very good. Since you're willing to accept the throne, you'd better work hard from now on!"
Having said that, Gilgamesh quickly walked outside.
As he walked, he said, "My body is still a bit unaccustomed to dying suddenly. I'm going to stretch my body."
"etc!"
Seeing Gilgamesh trying to run away, Shirou Kotomine, realizing he had been tricked, immediately tried to stop him.
But Gilgamesh completely ignored Shirou Kotomine.
In the blink of an eye, Gilgamesh's figure disappeared into the Tower of Gods.
Just as Kotomine Shirou was about to give chase, his aides, led by Siduri, quickly surrounded him.
By now, they had come to their senses.
But Gilgamesh has already escaped, and they can't let Shirou Kotomine escape too.
A country cannot live without a ruler for a day.
They need the King of Uruk to return to his throne as soon as possible to oversee the operation of the entire city.
"king!"
"king!"
"king!"
Faced with Kotomine Shirou, who also wanted to run away, the aides kept shouting the title of "King" at him.
Faced with this situation, Shirou Kotomine could not simply walk away.
Ultimately, he had no choice but to accept the status quo.
"I understand. I will now lead Uruk forward!"
After shaking his head helplessly, Shirou Kotomine quickly changed his mood and solemnly declared.
"oh!!!"
"As you wish, Your Majesty!"
In response to Shirou Kotomine's declaration, the surrounding aides responded loudly.
And so, without any warning, Shirou Kotomine ascended to the throne of Uruk.
"Merlin!"
He called out Merlin's name as he pushed open the door to Merlin's house.
Without the slightest hesitation, Shirou Kotomine barged into Merlin's house.
"You've only been king for two days. I don't see you've learned much else, but you've certainly picked up a lot of Gilgamesh's temper."
Seeing Kotomine Shirou and Merlin barge in, he couldn't help but complain.
"Is there?"
Kotomine Shirou looked at himself innocently.
He didn't think he had as big a temper as Gilgamesh.
He is a very humble person.
"Okay, let's stop here and get down to business."
Seeing that Shirou Kotomine was completely oblivious, Merlin stopped wasting words with him.
"Has the matter with the Divine Tower been resolved?"
"Don't worry, I've taken care of everything."
"I say proudly," said Shirou Kotomine.
After Gilgamesh fled, Shirou Kotomine ascended the throne of Uruk under the title "Gilgamesh II".
He spent two days figuring out what the King of Uruk needed to do at that time.
Although he once helped Gilgamesh with government affairs.
But that's only temporary.
He had no knowledge of many related things.
This time, I had him give me a good tutoring session.
After acquiring this knowledge, Shirou Kotomine created a separate entity from his mind to handle the administration of Uruk and coordinate all departments.
Then he returned to Merlin.
Compared to the current political affairs in Uruk, the matters that Kotomine Shirou is currently planning are ultimately more important.
After all, at this point, only Gorgon remained of the Three Goddesses Alliance.
The north wall also has a new shikigami authority seal that is strong enough to resist monsters.
Therefore, Uruk soldiers will be used less and less in the upcoming battles.
As for the final battle?
They have absolutely no chance of being affected.
"Alright, now that things have been arranged in Uruk, it's time to restart our plan."
Merlin nodded after hearing Shirou Kotomine's arrangement.
Then he picked up a helmet from the table next to him and handed it to Shirou Kotomine.
"This is a magical item I prepared for you to protect your brain. If you wear it, you will be fine even if you acquire a huge amount of knowledge while in a state of divine blessing."
"That's good."
After taking the helmet from Merlin and admiring it for a moment, Kotomine Shirou put it on his head.
He waved his hand and created a mirror in front of him using water vapor.
Looking at his helmeted model, Shirou Kotomine nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes, that suits you perfectly."
"As long as you're satisfied."
Seeing Kotomine Shirou's actions, Kotomine Shirou couldn't help but smile.
"I've done everything I can to help you now. You'll have to rely on yourself from here on out."
"Leave it to me."
Kotomine Shirou responded earnestly.
Merlin has been helping him ever since he first came to this world.
Without Merlin's help, Shirou Kotomine could never have grown so smoothly and so quickly.
Therefore, he was filled with gratitude towards Merlin Kotomine Shirou.
"When do you plan to have the intestinal surgery?"
"Now!"
At this moment, all the necessary preparations have been completed.
The next step is to keep traversing through the area.
After each time travel, immediately check the current time ratio. If the ratio is not satisfactory, quickly return and then continue traveling.
However, the proportion of time can only be determined after the time travel.
Therefore, once the experiment begins, it means that success is possible at any time.
If successful, Shirou Kotomine will have to stay in the other world for 10 years.
Therefore, Merlin instructed Kotomine Shirou to prepare.
But for Shirou Kotomine, there was nothing left to prepare.
Everyday items are available on the other side of the world.
Other important items are also in his alternate dimension.
He can embark on a spontaneous trip at any time.
As for saying goodbye to his companions?
Although he would indeed have to stay in the other world for a year, it would only be a day for the people of this world.
It would seem strange to have to say goodbye in such a short time.
Therefore, Shirou Kotomine is not prepared to say goodbye to his friends.
He naturally chose to leave immediately, not wanting to waste a single second.
"Since that's the case, then I wish you a smooth journey and hope you get the proportion of time you need as soon as possible."
Merlin smiled and offered his blessings.
"Thank you so much!"
Kotomine Shirou smiled slightly, and then activated his ability.
This is not time travel.
Instead, it receives magic.
This time, Shirou Kotomine no longer needs to borrow the divinity from the divine artifacts; he has a better method.
"Lend me your power, Ereshkigal!"
"Yes, I will always support you, Shirou!"
After a spiritual exchange, Shirou Kotomine fully received Ereshkigal's power.
This is a real deity.
A powerful aura flowed across Shirou Kotomine's body.
At this moment, Shirou Kotomine appeared incredibly noble.
"Everything is ready."
"Experimental dissection!"
A flash of light, and Shirou Kotomine's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
The experiment has begun.
With the divine blessing of Ereshkigal, Shirou Kotomine saw more knowledge during this journey.
The essence of space, the essence of time.
All of these two mysterious abilities are now laid bare before Shirou Kotomine.
This allowed her to continuously absorb this knowledge.
Kotomine Shirou's mastery of space and time has grown even more rapidly.
Soon, Shirou Kotomine finished his time travel and arrived in the world of Fairy Tail.
"The time ratio is 50:1, which is not enough. Let's go back."
Looking at the numbers displayed on his pocket watch, Shirou Kotomine, having only been back in this world for a few seconds, immediately set off on his return journey.
According to Merlin's requirements, the time ratio must be at least 100:1.
In the three days it took to expand Uruk, almost a year had passed in the Fairy Tail world.
But Shirou Kotomine's requirements are even higher; he's prepared to wait for a 500:1 ratio.
After all, he was prepared to stay in Fairy Tail for more than a year.
Fortunately, the Uruk world is in the Age of Gods, and there are many ways to replenish the energy needed for Kotomine Shirou's time travel, allowing him to continue his experiments.
As the story unfolds, Shirou Kotomine keeps traveling through time.
Constantly shuttling between two worlds.
Ten times, fifty times, one hundred times.
It wasn't until the 132nd time that a time scale that satisfied Shirou Kotomine appeared on his pocket watch.
Time ratio 1000:1.
