Chapter 235 The True God-Slaying Mage
Night gradually fell.
The members of Fairy Tail also began to return to their respective homes.
As darkness completely enveloped the sky, and after the last Fairy Tail staff member finished cleaning the guild and left, only Shirou Kotomine remained, sitting on the second floor.
He was leaning back in his chair, reading a book of magic in his hands.
This is a grimoire that Shirou Kotomine obtained from Astolfo, which contains all the magical knowledge of the Type-Moon world.
Thoroughly understanding and mastering it is one of the things that Shirou Kotomine needs to do at this time.
Although this is not the Type-Moon universe.
But the mysteries of the world are often interconnected.
Once you have thoroughly studied the mysterious knowledge of one world, you can quickly grasp the knowledge of other worlds by analogy.
Merlin is an example of this.
Having gone very far on the path of magic in the Type-Moon world, he was able to quickly master knowledge from other worlds he had never encountered before through his own accumulation of knowledge.
Because knowledge is interconnected.
"Bang!"
With a deep sound, Shirou Kotomine closed the heavy grimoire in his hand and stood up.
He walked to the window and gazed at the beautiful starry sky.
The night was so beautiful.
Countless stars shone brightly in the sky.
At this moment, Fairy Tail, which had been bustling all day, finally quieted down. In the stillness of the night, Shirou Kotomine finally had the peace of mind to think about his future.
What should he do for the next seven years?
How should he plan his own growth?
"Although I am called a traveler, the knowledge of other worlds I have actually come into contact with is only the magic of the Type-Moon world, the magic of the Fairy Tail world, and the jutsu of the Jujutsu Kaisen world."
"Each of these three world systems has its own unique characteristics."
"But how can I develop these features to their fullest potential, even beyond?"
Kotomine Shirou's brows furrowed involuntarily.
Shirou Kotomine is well aware that he needs to transform and perfect the power he possesses.
But where should we begin?
After all, he possesses far too many abilities.
Although Kotomine Shirou has only a basic grasp of many of these abilities, or even just a preliminary understanding of them, no one knows whether one of these abilities will become Kotomine Shirou's main ability seven years later.
After all, Kotomine Shirou had only been training for a few months before this.
He will be training here for more than seven years, or even more than ten years.
With a time ratio of 1000:1, Shirou Kotomine has ample time to grow into his complete form.
After all, such a ratio is extremely rare.
Although he encountered this ratio in just over a hundred experiments.
But this doesn't mean he can still encounter this time ratio if he experiments a hundred more times.
After all, even a one in a hundred million chance could happen on the first try; Shirou Kotomine couldn't predict 1000.
What is the probability of this ratio occurring?
Therefore, he wanted to make the most of this opportunity.
"So where should we begin?"
Kotomine Shirou began to ponder this with a troubled expression.
After all, he had a long time ahead of him, and he didn't want to give up any opportunity that could greatly increase his strength.
"Oh no, I completely forgot about that."
After some thought, Shirou Kotomine couldn't help but tap his head.
He realized what he should do now.
Not sure where to start?
Why not ask your past self?
Kotomine Shirou quickly sat back in his chair, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen notebooks appeared on the table in front of him.
These notebooks were used by Shirou Kotomine to record his inspirations.
Because many of these inspirations needed time to be verified, but he didn't have much time, he wrote them all down.
This is the time for these inspirations to resurface.
"Let me see what interesting ideas I've had in the past."
Kotomine Shirou once again entered a state of reading.
However, this time his page-turning speed was inconsistent.
After all, these were his inspirations, and he could recall them with just a glance.
Some inspirational quotes Mine Shirou could quickly determine whether they were suitable for his current research, while others required him to think and judge gradually.
Even so, it only took Shirou Kotomine less than an hour to read through all of these dozen or so notebooks.
After all, all he needs to do now is to initially filter out some inspirations that meet his current needs, rather than immediately conduct research.
Upon closer inspection, Shirou Kotomine indeed found quite a few topics that interested him at that moment.
However, one of them was one that Shirou Kotomine felt was very suitable for his needs.
"On the possibility of rapidly growing stronger by replacing the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique with a Thought Body?"
This is a topic that Shirou Kotomine came up with a long time ago.
Thought Body is a magic that Shirou Kotomine obtained from Fairy Tail, which allows him to create clones of himself by splitting his soul.
Shirou Kotomine has used this ability many times.
One of the finished products of Kotomine Shirou's magic is the little blue dragon.
The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is a forbidden technique that appears in the anime "Naruto".
This forbidden technique can create a clone that is exactly the same as oneself, and when the clone ends, the original body will gain the experience gained during the clone's time.
In this way, the protagonist Naruto Uzumaki grew rapidly in the middle of the story.
This forbidden technique is undoubtedly a technology that can be called a cheat code.
Kotomine Shirou had never been to the world of Naruto, so naturally he had never obtained this technique.
But this doesn't stop him from wanting to replicate the technology.
For example, the "longing" style.
Because this magic requires splitting the soul, when the clone returns to the original body after using the magic, the original body can also gain the experience gained during the clone's time.
But there's a problem with this magic.
That is the division of the soul.
The soul is not something you can cut off at will; such a thing can easily lead to serious problems.
At this moment, Shirou Kotomine already has the clone of the little blue dragon, as well as the thought entity left in Uruk.
This means he has already undergone two soul-splitting procedures.
The reason this is possible is that when creating the clone of the little blue dragon, the soul fragment that Kotomine Shirou cut was very small, and the clone located in Uruk was the same.
So although he made two cuts, the actual amount of material cut was about the same as if he had made one cut.
That's why he was able to make two cuts.
But it's clear that we can't continue cutting like this.
Otherwise, Shirou Kotomine might end up turning himself into an idiot while he was cutting.
That would be so frustrating.
That's why Shirou Kotomine put this topic aside and never brought it up again.
Otherwise, how could he, who had previously lacked time, not have perfected this subject?
But now things have changed.
While browsing through his inspirations, Shirou Kotomine suddenly discovered an idea that could complement his current research topic.
That was the inspiration he had while he was in the Jujutsu Kaisen world.
That is to acquire the spells of those cursed spirits and sorcerers through later means.
This seems very likely to Shirou Kotomine.
Leaving aside the curses of the spirits, surely the curses passed down through bloodlines by those sorcerers must have an origin?
Therefore, Shirou Kotomine believes that these spells are entirely possible to master later in life.
However, modern sorcerers have lost the technical skills to this method.
This is why they can only pass on their spells through bloodlines.
But at this moment, Shirou Kotomine possesses sophisticated technology from the Type-Moon world.
Although spells and magic are completely different things, Shirou Kotomine felt that they could be understood in the same way.
If he can master this technique, he will be able to control the abilities of the "Cursed Spirit True Man" who is still dormant in his body.
The real person possesses the magic to control souls.
Once Shirou Kotomine masters this technology, he will be able to overcome the deficiencies of his thought body, allowing him to create more clones to learn various kinds of knowledge simultaneously.
This would allow him to improve several times over.
"It seems that the most important thing now is to finish this first. After all, the faster this project is completed, the longer I can enjoy the multiple times the progress."
"Very good, let's start with this topic."
Kotomine Shirou couldn't help but smile.
After confirming his current task, Shirou Kotomine's mood quickly brightened.
Shirou Kotomine is really looking forward to the speed boost.
After all, Shirou Kotomine, who possessed the Little Azure Dragon clone, had once experienced this kind of speed.
However, at this time, the little blue dragon was studying the fantasy dragon that Shirou Kotomine obtained from the Type-Moon world, so it no longer had time to learn the magic of the Type-Moon world as before.
Otherwise, Shirou Kotomine wouldn't need to be reading grimoires here at all.
"Sigh, I have so much to do."
Recalling the development path he had once taken, Shirou Kotomine's eye twitched involuntarily.
The magic system in the Fairy Tail world is mainly based on Dragon Slayer Magic, which can enhance one's life level, supplemented by various other functional magics.
Magic in the Type-Moon world primarily involves thoroughly mastering the knowledge in all the magic books, followed by mastering large-scale ritual magic and deciphering the spells in the Holy Grail.
The jutsu in Jujutsu Kaisen focuses on enhancing Black Flash's power, nurturing the strength of various cursed spirits, and even analyzing their abilities for one's own use.
Secondly, there is research on spatial magic and time magic.
There are at least a dozen of these scattered research routes, and many more topics are still just ideas and have not yet been studied.
With so many routes, even if Shirou Kotomine were to take seven years, he would not be able to achieve as much as he imagined.
Moreover, it has developed into the complete form that Shirou Kotomine imagined.
It's so hard.
That's why Shirou Kotomine attaches so much importance to the topic of "thought bodies".
Given enough thought entities, Shirou Kotomine's rate of progress will become even more terrifying.
After clarifying his thoughts, Shirou Kotomine relaxed a bit.
As he lay in the chair, his mind began to wander.
As he pondered, he thought of Tiamat, his hypothetical enemy.
"If you want to be an enemy of Tiamat, you can't rely on tricks alone; you also need to improve yourself."
Kotomine Shirou shook his head.
When Shirou Kotomine says "self," he is referring to an elevation of his level of life.
At this point, the only technical ability that Shirou Kotomine possessed that could elevate his own level of existence was Dragon Slayer Magic.
However, although Shirou Kotomine has been practicing Dragon Slayer Magic, it seems that he has not truly practiced Dragon Slayer Magic.
After all, the most iconic ability of Dragon Slayer Magic is to absorb the corresponding power to restore its own power.
But Shirou Kotomine does not have this ability.
Because he still hasn't decided which path he wants to take.
He still had doubts about dragon-slaying magic.
If Shirou Kotomine wants to fight Tiamat without relying on King Hassan's power, what should he do?
Shirou Kotomine has also thought about this matter for a long time.
If it weren't for King Hassan's fatal sword strike, what method would Shirou Kotomine have used to defeat Tiamat?
This method does exist.
In the original trajectory, Fujimaru Ritsuka and others even tried to work in this direction.
That is the power of the underworld.
Let Tiamat fall into the underworld, and then let Ereshkigal defeat Tiamat through his absolute control over the underworld.
There is a very good chance.
After all, Roman and Leonardo da Vinci, both located in Chaldea, agreed to carry out this plan.
They all believed the plan was feasible.
The appearance of Hassan, the Grand Assassin, was not part of their calculations.
If that was the plan, how did it fail and ultimately go down a different path?
Because Tiamat unleashed a tide of chaos in the underworld.
She began to wrest control of the underworld from Ereshkigal.
Then we can reason in reverse.
If Tiamat hadn't used the Chaos Tide to seize control of the Underworld, would it have been possible to defeat her using the power of the Underworld?
There should be.
Although the success rate is not high.
But as long as this method exists, it is possible.
Besides this, Shirou Kotomine actually had another method.
That is the expansion of Shirou Kotomine's domain, where all spirits rule the great world.
He uses the corrosive power within the domain to transform Tiamat into his own cursed spirit.
Of course, it has been proven that Shirou Kotomine's domain at this time is unable to corrupt gods, let alone Tiamat's level, he couldn't even do it against Ereshkigal's level.
But Shirou Kotomine felt that it was because there was a significant difference in strength between him and Ereshkigal.
And there is a distinction between humans and gods.
But if he could also reach the realm of the gods, then if he released his domain expansion, or the ultimate enhanced domain expansion, could he transform Tiamat?
Perhaps.
How then will Kotomine Shirou step into the realm of the gods?
Kotomine Shirou thought of the God-Slaying Magic.
In Fairy Tail, besides Dragon Slayer Magic, there are also Demon Slayer Magic and God Slayer Magic.
I don't know much about Shirou Hogenobu, the Demon Slayer.
However, the God-Slaying Magic that Kotomine Shirou envisions is different from the God-Slaying Magic of this world, which is trained through magic books.
Dragon Slayer Magic, on the other hand, involves obtaining the power of dragons and gradually transforming oneself to enhance one's life essence.
Therefore, once Dragon Slayer Magic is mastered to its fullest potential, one will become a dragon.
However, the God-Slaying Magic that Kotomine Shirou wanted was based on Dragon-Slaying Magic, replacing the power of dragons with the power of gods.
No one else in this world has access to divine power.
But Shirou Kotomine can.
For example, the power of Ereshkigal within him.
In this way, will Shirou Kotomine be able to transcend the boundaries of life and reach the realm of the gods?
Kotomine Shirou was very curious.
