12.9% Campione of Uruk / Chapter 4: Chapter 3: New Enemies

Chapter 4: Chapter 3: New Enemies

Taking into account the natural magic resistance of Campione and the physical resistance provided by [Man of Steel], Shirou's defense would require an attack of A++ rank or greater to even injure him.

But to defeat the sword that can kill a world? Easily to boot? That was on an even higher level, possibly more dangerous than the other three authorities combined.

"Now that the authorities are out of the way, we can move on to the dangers of this world."

Rin reacted first, "Let me guess, the equivalent of the Clocktower?"

"Actually, no. Mages in this world are much different than magus of our world. Namely, they try to avoid annoying any extremely powerful being at any cost. The standard response for dealing with a Campione is to give them what they want and pray that nothing goes wrong."

"You're kidding," Illya responded with a look of disbelief on her face.

"I'm not. All attempts at resistance by mages, ordinary men, and even armies has always ended with the Campione left only mildly inconvenienced, often without a scratch, and the resistors in suffering, if not wiped out to the last man, woman, or child. No what I'm referring to are the ones whose actions, intentional or not, would lead to me becoming the King of the End."

"Who?" was the question uttered by all those present except Saber.

"One group of beings and three individuals. The group consists of any being who can interfere with the authorities from Gilgamesh. Without the effects of the [Fellowship of the King], I would transform into the King of the End. No Campione currently have an authority that can do that so we currently don't have to worry about them. But almost all Christianity-based Heretic Gods have an authority that at least partially suppress powers of 'pagan gods', in particular the ones that predate Christ. Several other gods can also suppress different types of divinity, so if possible, never let anyone learn that Gilgamesh is a heretic god that you defeated. As for the individuals, I've already mentioned one. Mordred currently rests on an island off the coast of Japan. Pandora couldn't tell me which one but if an authority from the King of the End is used nearby, it will awaken him. The other two work as a pair. One is a Divine Ancestor. Divine Ancestors are Mother Earth goddesses that have lost their power and fallen due to being defeated by a Deity of Steel. In the legends of heroes killing serpents or dragons to save a maiden, the maidens are the Divine Ancestors created when their true forms as Mother Earth goddesses, in the forms of a snake or dragon, are defeated. They are still stronger than any normal mortal and Rin, Sakura, and Illya will likely be roughly their equivalent in power."

"I'm starting to get a headache," Sakura complained, her eyes spinning in circles as she tried to process that many white knight stories were as far from the truth as they could get.

"Like I mentioned, convoluted. The Divine Ancestor we have to worry about is the one known as the Queen of Divine Ancestors, Guinevere. She was never my wife but is the current holder of an artifact known as the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail is used to empower and bring forth the King of the End. She is guarded by the last individual, Heretic God Lancelot. Using a spell unique to her, Guinevere can call forth Lancelot at any time to defend her. Please be aware that the Lancelot of this world only uses a lance. This and several other details lead me to believe that Lancelot is not the god's true identity. Like Mordred, it is a new name added to an existing god. As for what Lancelot's true identity is, your guess is as good as mine. Just know that they will sense any use of the authorities from the King of the End and come running and if either become aware of my existence, they will find a way to either turn me into the King of the End or extract him from me. I won't be likely to survive either event."


CREATORS' THOUGHTS
Hydratooth Hydratooth

Just in case people were wondering, I'm not changing the powers or the Campione themselves for the most part. In this story, Shirou is the 5th Campione, appearing after Black Prince Alec but before John Pluto Smith. I also plan to change the power and possessor of only one authority which exists in the story although others will be added later on

Chapter 5: Chapter 4: 5th King of the World

After a period of silence, Sakura spoke first, "So what now?"

"We create an organization to serve us," Rin responded.

"I suggest we start with the basics. We currently have no identification, home, workshop, or money. Legally speaking we don't even technically exist. This needs to change before anything else," disagreed Shirou.

"Onii-san's answer makes sense," said Illya.

"I also agree with Shirou's logic," Saber agreed.

"What if we do both?" Sakura question.

""""Huh?"""" the rest were startled by Sakura's train of thought.

"Wwwelll... if we use an existing organization and make it our own, we can get identities for ourselves much more easily and they'll be much more realistic than any other method. Assuming that magical organizations hold similar levels of influence to those of our world, this plan should be viable... I think," Sakura nervously reasoned out.

"Saber," Shirou spoke up, "is there any information on magical organizations in the knowledge given to you by Pandora-oka-san? In particular any about those in Japan."

Somewhere in the Netherworld

Pandora could only freeze in shock.

After 293 children and several millennia, one finally recognized her as her mother!!!

"Oh, my dear husband Epimetheus, we finally have a good child!!!!!" Pandora shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Ah, I can die happy now." Pandora said in a much more relaxed tone.

"As he is the first good child I have ever had, I suppose I can give him a tiny bit more aid. Especially considering his circumstances," resolved Pandora, already sending information to contact some of her friends in the Netherworld to Saber and moved to contact them herself.

Back in Japan

"Ow!" Saber interjected as a headache appeared out of nowhere.

""""Saber!"""" the others reacted in worry.

"I'm fine. Pandora just sent me information on how to get in contact several of her friends that are able to help us with the issues Shirou brought up," Saber informed the others of what she just learned.

"Is the information reliable?" questioned Rin.

"There is no reason for Pandora to lie to us. I would give good odds for this information to be accurate," answered Saber.

"We don't have any better options at the moment," said Shirou.

"I'm fine with it if onii-san is fine with it," was Illya's response.

"Lets get going then," Shirou concluded the conversation.

"Everyone gather around me then," Saber commanded.

Netherworld

When the five opened their eyes, they were greeted by an ancient-looking shack.

"You sure this is the right place, Saber?" asked Rin.

Saber nodded firmly in response, "this is the place. The ones who can aid us are inside."

Shirou promptly marched forward to the door and knocked on it.

"Enter."

Shirou opened the door and was greeted by the sight of an old man, a shrine maiden with glassy eyes, and a man who was, for want of a better way to put it, a mummy.

The shrine maiden was the first to speak, "come in and take a seat. We have much to discuss, 5th King of the World."
