You call this a projection?
Chapter 236 - 234: Come Out and Behold God
"Why did you call me over so urgently?"
"Don't you know how heavy my current workload is?!"
Inside the castle of the Yggdmillennia clan.
After hearing the assembly order conveyed by a homunculus, Gordes, his body slightly corpulent, couldn't help but complain as he arrived at the location, having no choice but to follow the directive: "Even if we did prepare quite a bit for this Holy Grail War...
At the very beginning, we never even imagined that the Grail would pick seven new Masters based on the factions of the Masters.
The 'preparation' we spoke of was merely a contingency measure prepared to prevent any accidents during the progression of the Holy Grail War."
Just like the Master of Black Assassin, who they still haven't been able to contact even now, despite being on their side according to faction alignment.
Did that guy really not get chosen by the Grail?
Or, when the Servant was summoned, did someone else steal the Master position?
Similarly, when we were preparing these methods, we never thought about having to deal with seven Servants and their Masters simultaneously.
"I have already poured a large number of homunculi into dealing with that necromancer and his Red Saber."
"If you don't adjust my homunculi, and instead choose to keep throwing those existing, low-combat-capability homunculi into this battle, then the first ones to be completely consumed will definitely be my homunculi!"
Having said this, Gordes looked at Roche, the youngest among them, and the Black Caster standing behind Roche, his body tightly wrapped in masks and garments: "After all, I don't have a Caster like yours who can casually manufacture golems with combat power comparable to a Servant."
However, thinking that Roche had obtained this through sacrificing combat power—that rather than summoning a more powerful Servant to win the victory of the Holy Grail War, it was better to summon a famous figure related to his own inherited magecraft to refine his family's magical legacy—the irritation in Gordes' heart lessened quite a bit.
As expected, the Black Saber he summoned was still stronger.
Of course, the knowledge possessed by the Black Caster had indeed helped them a lot.
Not just in the production of golems.
Avicebron, the Black Caster, was one of the disseminators of Kabbalistic culture.
His work, The Fountain of Life (Fons Vitae), is a treatise that combines Kabbalah with Neoplatonism, having a significant promotional effect on the spread of Kabbalistic culture. ...Of course, this is the common understanding of Avicebron.
In the world of magi, Avicebron is undoubtedly the creator of the Kabbalistic magical system, and even an important driving force who expanded the Kabbalistic magic foundation toward the world, much like the Christian foundation.
And within the Kabbalistic magical system.
The most famous are the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and the process revealed therein from the Crown to the Kingdom—the process of God creating the world—and from the Kingdom to the Crown, the path of the Flaming Sword by which a human transforms into a god.
[The First Adam], the Noble Phantasm that Avicebron openly revealed, is not the [Adam] from the Bible, the original human created by [God] using Himself as a template.
It is [God] Himself!
It is the [God] who created the world in the Bible!
If it weren't for the fact that Avicebron cannot activate this Noble Phantasm just by having his Master provide magical energy like other Servants, but instead requires various precious materials to be manufactured before it can be activated...
Gordes would truly have had trouble accepting it after realizing what this Noble Phantasm actually meant.
However, because the golem-manufacturing technology mastered by Avicebron is essentially an imitation of the legend of [God] creating humans from clay, it is an imitation of the authority of [God] creating all things.
It is not merely manufacturing golems, but rather coordinating with the path of the Flaming Sword to create the relationship between [God] and the [Angels] therein, and not just [Humans].
The homunculus technology Gordes stole from the Einzbern family could also be connected to the Kabbalistic magical system, using the homunculus method to imitate and attempt to create homunculus-versions of artificial angels and artificial gods.
This is also the reason Gordes dared to say he could achieve a significant increase in the strength of the homunculi through adjustments.
With Avicebron present.
Even if the other party is more familiar with the manufacturing of golems.
Even if the artificial angels and artificial gods in Gordes' fantasies are just a kind of fantasy, it is enough to enhance the combat power of the homunculi.
So much so that after knowing who the Servant Roche summoned was.
After eavesdropping on quite a bit of golem-manufacturing technology from the Black Caster.
Gordes, much like Roche, locked himself in his magic workshop.
Although he was very confident in the strength of the Black Saber he summoned.
But acquiring an extra technology isn't a bad thing, is it?
"No, the tactic of using homunculi to exhaust the Red Saber and her Master can be put aside for a moment."
Seeing that the Masters chosen from their Yggdmillennia clan and the Servants they summoned had all arrived.
Standing beside the main chair, Darnic, the leader of the Yggdmillennia clan, first answered Gordes' question.
Then, he played a certain image in this hall and said: "This is the image transmitted through the familiar we had following behind the Red Saber.
And a certain existence within this is truly very concerning, because the Red Saber recognizes this newly appeared Servant and spoke the true name of this Servant as the legendary King of Knights.
Although it is surprising that the famous King of Knights is actually a woman, since the other party is the King of Knights, then her Class would, without exception, only be Saber."
By adjusting the played footage, the appearance of the Saber was magnified.
And then, another set of images was called up, playing the exact moment they had just tracked down Kairi Shishigou.
Mordred—who had not yet entered battle preparation and had not yet put the helmet on her armor—had her exposed appearance likewise magnified.
Comparing this image alongside the fully armed appearance of Mordred, Darnic then said: "So the question arises, since the King of Knights is the Red Saber, then what Class would this Mordred spoken of by the King of Knights be?
She is not like a Berserker, constantly in a state of madness."
