Abnormality In Type-Moon: Madness Of Animeverse

From the very beginning, Roy had planned to summon two Servants.

One would act as his official Servant on the surface, while the other would be hidden in the shadows, used to assassinate other Masters and Servants.

Initially, Roy intended to summon two Servants, one of whom had to be summoned through compatibility. A Servant summoned in this way would have the best synergy with him and would be easiest to establish a good relationship with. He planned to have this compatible Servant operate in the shadows, carrying out activities like assassinations.

Needless to say, the Servant summoned through compatibility was Okita Souji.

And indeed, Roy easily established a good relationship with Miss Okita. Even if he asked her to do Assassin-like tasks, she would not refuse. Moreover, Miss Okita was not truly suited to be a Saber. Her most fitting role should be the Assassin class. With her Presence Concealment skill, combined with Reduced Earth, Unnamed Three-Step Thrust, and the super-high Agility Roy granted her as her Master, she was a natural top-tier assassin who could solve many troubles in secret.

The day after summoning her, Roy ordered her not to appear until the Holy Grail War officially began, precisely because of this reason. He intended for Miss Okita to operate from the shadows.

However, plans always involve variables.

The biggest variable lay in the other Servant Roy intended to summon.

This Servant, unlike the one summoned through compatibility, needed to possess extremely strong combat ability to contend with other Servants head-on. Therefore, it had to be summoned using a relic.

The Servant Roy most wanted to summon using a relic was not Jiang Ziya.

It was Karna.

Yes, the heroic son of the Sun God Surya from Indian mythology, the Mahabharata. Not only was Karna incredibly powerful, truly over-spec, but he was also reliable, loyal, and obedient. As a Servant, he was impeccable in every way.

Karna was the Servant Roy most wanted to summon using a relic.

Unfortunately, relics are not easy to obtain—especially in a world that had experienced the great disaster ten years ago. Many renowned mages had perished in the flames, and a large number of known relics were lost.

Roy had asked Aozaki Touko to help him search for the desired relics during her travels. His first choice was Karna's relic. If that wasn't possible, then he was willing to settle for relics of other over-spec Heroic Spirits, such as Jiang Ziya.

The Servant summoned using a relic had to be over-spec.

If nothing could be found, Roy planned to ask Rin Tohsaka for the snakeskin left behind by Tokiomi Tohsaka. Given his relationship with Rin, she likely wouldn't refuse.

A Servant summoned using the snakeskin would probably have some connection to Gilgamesh—likely even Gilgamesh himself. Though this could result in summoning a Servant who would oppose him, if there was truly no alternative for summoning an over-spec Servant, Roy would have to resort to the snakeskin.

But that was the least desirable option.

Fortunately.

Fortunately, fate was on his side.

Aozaki Touko returned, and while she did not bring back Karna's relic, she brought back Jiang Ziya's relic.

Though not his first choice, Jiang Ziya was no less formidable.

In fact, for Roy, Jiang Ziya's value might even exceed Karna's. Jiang Ziya was not only powerful and effective against specific foes, but also more versatile.

The reason Roy initially preferred Karna over Jiang Ziya was that he knew Jiang Ziya hadn't truly died. The man had already achieved immortality and was living well on the reverse side of the world. Summoning him under normal circumstances seemed nearly impossible.

At first, Roy didn't hold much hope of successfully summoning Jiang Ziya.

But he never expected that Jiang Ziya would willingly respond to his summons!

According to Jiang Ziya, he was deeply interested in the development of this world. Since there was such a reasonable opportunity to participate, how could he pass it up?

Roy silently counted his blessings.

At this point, however, the plan had to change.

Jiang Ziya's utility far surpassed Karna's.

Karna could only fight, but Jiang Ziya could not only fight but also help fulfill Roy's wishes.

Thus, after a conversation to persuade Jiang Ziya to assist him, Roy revised his plans and reversed the roles of the two Servants—having Jiang Ziya operate in the shadows and putting Okita Souji on the surface.

As for the resulting problems, such as being recognized by Bazett as the one who forced his way into the underground cavern, Roy didn't care. Keeping Jiang Ziya as his trump card hidden until the decisive battle was more important than anything else.

The subsequent events need not be repeated. Although having the weaker Okita Souji as his visible Servant led to many challenges, he managed to endure until the end.

"Now, I just have to defeat you to secure the final victory!"

Roy's gaze was sharp and resolute, his chest burning with an intense determination not to lose here.

"Jiang Ziya, I'm counting on you to take down the King of Heroes!"

On the barren mountaintop of Ryuudou Temple, Roy's determined cry echoed loudly, resounding in all directions.

"My Master has spoken, Your Majesty," Jiang Ziya said with a light laugh. He spread his arms and adopted a battle stance, fully aligning himself with his Master's will.

From his palms emerged layers of crimson magic circles, radiating a shimmering magical light that swayed like a mirage.

"As far as I know, two-thirds of your lineage comes from divinity, doesn't it? Heh, how unfortunate for you—I, Jiang Ziya, excel at deifying gods!"

Read as deifying gods.

Written as killing gods!

"Hmph! You intend to send me to the Fengshen Bang? If you think you can, then go ahead and try!"

Gilgamesh's expression darkened.

He hated anyone mentioning his two-thirds divine bloodline. Even in his slightly serious mode, this taboo was not to be violated!

Gilgamesh waved his hand.

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!

Countless buzzing sounds filled the air as hundreds of golden ripples appeared in the sky, from which emerged an unending torrent of golden Noble Phantasms.

Swish, swish, swish!

In an instant, innumerable golden weapons rained down like a storm, striking at the Master and Servant duo with the speed of thunder.

"Heh."

Jiang Ziya remained calm, snapping his fingers.

Crimson magic arrays appeared beneath their feet, and in an instant, the two vanished from their original location.

Roy's vision blurred as the scene around him spun. Both Ryuudou Temple and Fuyuki City appeared beneath him.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Ziya had used earth escape magic to transfer him into the air.

Jiang Ziya waved his hand.

A peculiar mount appeared beneath Roy, supporting him as he sat down.

The mount was small, resembling a rhinoceros. Upon closer inspection, its head and body looked like a fox's, its ears were long and rounded like a rabbit's, its tail resembled a squirrel's, and its hind legs were like a deer's. The creature combined features of four different animals, making it incredibly strange.

Moreover, it bore Roy's weight without complaint, its temperament warm and gentle. Sitting on it felt incredibly comfortable, almost as if it purified the surrounding curses. It was truly auspicious.

"This is the Sibuxiang?"

Roy stared at the divine beast beneath him in amazement.

"Moo."

The Sibuxiang nudged Roy's rear.

Why did it seem so silly?

And why did it make a cow sound?
