Crossover Anime: I, Shirou Kotomine, King of Uruk

Chapter 242 The God Slayer Mage and the Dragon Slayer Mage of the End

Chapter 243 The God Slayer Mage and the Dragon Slayer Mage of the End

Now that everything is on track, Shirou Kotomine has finally set his sights on the realm of the gods.

Gods are beings worthy of admiration in any world.

The exploration of deities has never ceased.

Now, Shirou Kotomine has finally touched upon the realm of the gods with his research.

He wanted to uncover the truth about the gods.

In the empty room, Shirou Kotomine picked up the grimoire of God-Slaying Magic borrowed from the Council and began to carefully read through it.

"Just as I thought."

After finishing flipping through the grimoire in his hand, Shirou Kotomine nodded slightly.

Just as he originally envisioned, the God-Slaying Magic was indeed an annihilation-type magic created by Zeref based on Dragon-Slaying Magic.

But Shirou Kotomine believes that Zeref's creation of this magic was definitely not that simple.

After all, Dragon Slayer Magic is very powerful.

But would someone as creative as Jelf really care about these powers?

Even Natsu was created by him.

Speaking of Zeref's two most famous works, they are naturally "R System" and "Eclipse Gate".

Like the R system, which is magic that Zeref created when he was young, it is also called restoration magic.

This magic has the ability to resurrect the dead by sacrificing a living person.

That is, resurrection magic.

This great magic was merely a creation of his childhood.

The Eclipse Gate, on the other hand, can absorb the magic power of mages to accomplish the great feat of returning to the past.

Resurrection and time travel.

This is merely the most famous magic left behind by Zeref.

No wonder countless mages follow in Zeref's footsteps, wanting to revive him.

After all, given his creativity, he could easily become an all-powerful wish-granting machine.

Although Jelf did not die.

As for why he didn't die? It wasn't because he had discovered some kind of magic that granted him immortality.

With his abilities, he might be able to research such magic.

But that didn't mean anything to him.

Because his research findings were too perverse and touched upon the taboo of life and death, he was cursed by the god Ankhseram.

This curse is called the "Curse of Contradiction".

The more a cursed person respects life, the more they will release and spread death energy; conversely, if they do not respect all life, they will not release death energy.

At the same time, the person who is cursed will also gain immortality.

Zeref is kind by nature, but he is immortal due to a contradictory curse. On the one hand, he is tormented by guilt for taking a large number of lives, and on the other hand, he hates himself for feeling satisfied with having unlimited time to conduct research.

And so he remained lost in the labyrinth of his thoughts.

Zeref always wished to die, so he kept creating all sorts of powerful demons, but he could never kill himself.

This is Jelf.

He is the pinnacle of magic in this world.

Did he really create the God-Slaying Magic simply to create an annihilation magic comparable to the Dragon-Slaying Magic?

Shirou Kotomine doesn't think Zeref would be that bored.

As he delved deeper into his research, he became increasingly convinced of his conclusions.

The magical power of the God-Slaying Magic is of extremely high quality.

There are some rumors about the God-Slaying Magic, which is said to have been created to counter Dragon-Slaying Magic.

The reason is that Dragon Slayer Magic cannot absorb God Slayer Magic of the same attribute.

This is definitely not normal.

After all, in theory, Dragon Slayer Magic can absorb all magic of the same attribute.

Natsu can absorb fire magic.

Gajeel can absorb iron magic.

Laxus can absorb lightning magic.

However, they cannot absorb the same type of God-Slaying Magic Power.

This is because the magic of the God-Slaying Magic does indeed contain some divine qualities.

Zeref was tormented by the curse, and he used the cursed power within him as the core of his research to create the God-Slaying Magic.

But in the end, the God-Slaying Magic did not free him from the curse.

Because neither dragon-slaying magic nor god-slaying magic has any effect against dragons and gods.

Dragon Slayer Magic can slay dragons by acquiring their power to fight them.

Instead of having a special attack against dragons like Siegfried's Dragon Slayer Magic.

The essence of Dragon Slayer Magic is becoming a dragon.

But the magic that destroys gods cannot make one a god.

Shirou Kotomine believes that the divine power in the God-Slaying Magic was created by Zeref himself based on the power within the curse on his body.

However, he could not interfere with the divine power attached to him.

Therefore, no matter how close this magic is to divine power, it is still not divine power.

Therefore, Zeref cannot achieve his own transformation through this power.

Then he abandoned his research institute.

However, because the magic power in the God-Slaying Magic contains divine qualities, the Dragon-Slaying Magic cannot absorb it.

After all, whether it is a dragon or a human, there is no difference in the face of the power of the gods.

That's how it is in this world, at least.

This is how the rumor arose that God-Slaying Magic could counter Dragon-Slaying Magic.

However, because God-Slaying Magic cannot undergo transformation like Dragon-Slaying Magic, it becomes inferior to Dragon-Slaying Magic in the late game.

Of course, there are very few who can master Dragon Slayer Magic to the very late stages.

As for why Natsu was able to absorb the power of the Godslayer after his magic power was exhausted, that's naturally related to Zeref.

After all, Natsu is Zeref's brother.

It is the most powerful demon he created.

As fellow creations of Zeref, it's no surprise that Natsu can absorb the power of Godslayer magic.

"That's why there are so few people who can practice the magic to destroy gods."

"Under normal circumstances, this magic is impossible to master. It wasn't created for anyone else to practice."

"The reason why some people can cultivate is because those cultivators have encountered miracles."

Kotomine Shirou guessed.

In Fairy Tail, there are many offerings to gods.

Although the gods have almost never appeared in person, their miracles have never disappeared.

It has been touched by miracles.

This is the only possibility that Shirou Kotomine can think of for successfully training in the God-Slaying Magic.

"I don't know the specifics, but even if there are differences, they should be roughly the same, and it's always related to God."

"But none of this matters to me."

"What's most useful to me is the God-Slaying Magic that Zeref created himself."

Kotomine Shirou closed the grimoire with satisfaction.

In order to create true god-slaying magic, Shirou Kotomine needs not only the divine power provided by Ereshkigal, but also a magical power that can gradually transform divine power.

Just like Dragon Slayer Magic.

Physical transformation needs to be done gradually.

Dragon Slayer Magic initially involved refining Dragon Slayer Magic Power, which then gradually evolved into true dragon power, eventually transforming into a dragon.

This has three stages.

Similarly, Shirou Kotomine plans to design his True God-Slaying Magic into three stages.

The stage of destroying the god's magic power.

The stage of divine power.

The divine stage.

The power of the gods can be provided by Ereshkigal.

The divine stage is the ultimate goal, which Shirou Kotomine cannot yet control.

What Shirou Kotomine needs to do now is to create a god-slaying magic that can be transformed into divine power.

This was originally supposed to be a massive and time-consuming project.

However, the God-Slaying Magic created by Zeref provided Shirou Kotomine with a wealth of theoretical experience and templates.

If research is conducted based on this foundation, Shirou Kotomine can save 90% of his time and effort.

This is extremely important to Shirou Kotomine.

When Shirou Kotomine returns to the world of Uruk, it will be his final showdown with Tiamat.

Before that, he needed to enter the realm of the gods.

Only in this way can he truly participate in that final battle.

As for the final step of the three steps to godhood, how long it takes for Kotomine Shirou to transform from a god into a deity through divine power is something he simply cannot calculate.

It's impossible to calculate.

That was completely unknown territory.

Therefore, the less time Kotomine Shirou spends in the beginning, the less time he will spend in the end.

This is very important to Shirou Kotomine.

"I really owe you a lot, Zeref. If I ever have the ability, I will definitely repay you in the future."

Kotomine Shirou made a serious promise.

After obtaining the grimoire of the God-Slaying Magic, Shirou Kotomine began to study it.

This is Shirou Kotomine's first step.

Nothing can be fully mastered simply by understanding it.

Practical operation is necessary.

Considering that Shirou Kotomine will use Ereshkigal's divine power to undergo a transformation in the future, Shirou Kotomine chose the Earth Destroyer God Magic.

Because Ereshkigal is the goddess of the underworld, her divinity and earthly attributes are more compatible.

Therefore, using earth-attribute god-slaying magic as a prototype can effectively reduce the difficulties faced by Shirou Kotomine.

Compared to those god-slaying mages.

Kotomine Shirou's training in the God-Slaying Magic is faster and smoother.

After all, his understanding of divine power was much clearer.

Thus, Shirou Kotomine continued to advance in his mastery of God-Slaying Magic.

He quickly mastered the basics of this magic.

But mastering this magic was only the foundation for Kotomine Shirou; the real challenge lay in modifying and perfecting it.

However, Shirou Kotomine also has a solution.

That is receiving.

Receive the power of Ereshkigal and personally experience her divinity, her divine power, and all her strength.

Kotomine Shirou had entered this state many times before.

But at that time he was merely using it.

But now, when Shirou Kotomine looks at these powers with analytical eyes, the mysteries of the gods are fully revealed to him.

So this is what gods are.

The modification of the God-Slaying Magic went smoothly.

After thoroughly understanding the divine power belonging to Ereshkigal, Shirou Kotomine completed the initial modification of the God-Slaying Magic Power in less than a month.

The next step is to refine it.

Unlike dragons, which have only a single attribute, Ereshkigal's power is much more complex.

She is in charge of the growth and decay of plants.

She commands snakes and dragons.

She can freely control the spirit of Garula, the messenger of the underworld.

She is the goddess of fear, representing human death.

These are all Ereshkigal's abilities, her divinity, and the qualities within her divine power.

Using her divine power as a template, Shirou Kotomine will inevitably acquire these abilities in the future.

These abilities cannot be summarized in a single sentence.

Ultimately, Shirou Kotomine named this type of god-slaying magic "Endgame".

This kind of god-slaying magic is also called the final god-slaying magic.

Absolute death.

This is the end.

"So, I'll be the God-Slaying Mage of the End Times from now on? That sounds pretty good."

Shirou Kotomine was very satisfied with his naming.

After the final God-Slaying Magic was completed, a new source of magic power called the Final God-Slaying Magic Power was born within Kotomine Shirou's body.

Soon, this newly born source of magic arrived at the very center of Shirou Kotomine's magic system.

It became the core.

Because the essence of the divine power in the Type-Moon world is true ether.

This is the highest quality magic power that Shirou Kotomine currently knows.

By using this magic to control other magic, the power of all of Kotomine Shirou's magic will be greatly amplified.

After all, the power of true ether is immense.

Siegfried's Noble Phantasm, "Fantasy Greatsword: Fallen Demon," is simply the release of the true ether contained in the gem on the greatsword and its swing.

Compared to the True Aether accumulated in that gem, the True Aether that Shirou Kotomine's body can hold will far exceed its limit.

"Now that the quality of energy has been improved, all the magic also needs to be upgraded."

"Otherwise, if the magic power and the spell type don't match, the spell won't be able to unleash its full potential!"

"Looks like my workload has increased again."

Kotomine Shirou smiled wryly.

This could be considered a happy kind of trouble.

After mastering the foundational magic of the final god-slaying spell, Shirou Kotomine still needs to further refine this magic.

That is, the special means to perfect this magic.

Considering that these magic spells will become Kotomine Shirou's main means of transforming into a god in the future, Kotomine Shirou felt that he needed to pay attention to this.

Although Shirou Kotomine was transformed based on the divinity of Ereshkigal.

But this does not mean that Shirou Kotomine will become the second Ereshkigal.

Shirou Kotomine has his own path to follow.

The methods employed in this god-slaying magic will, to a certain extent, determine this path.

This is something that Shirou Kotomine cannot afford to ignore.

In addition to this, there is one more thing that Kotomine Shirou needs to pay attention to.

That was the perfection of Dragon Slayer Magic.

Although in Fairy Tail, gods are far superior to dragons.

However, in many other worlds, there are dragons that are more powerful than gods.

If the power of gods lies in their control over the laws of nature...

The dragon's power lies in its ultimate physical body and strength.

This is equivalent to two different roads.

But Shirou Komine wants to merge it.

He must grasp both aspects firmly.

After deciding on this idea, Shirou Kotomine modified and perfected his Dragon Slayer Magic into the Final God Slayer Magic, based on the Final God Slayer Magic.

Although these are two different paths.

But their core themes must be the same.

The end.

This is the path that Shirou Kotomine will take next.

This is a road that originates in Ereshkigal, but transcends Ereshkigal.

After all, Shirou Kotomine is greedy.

His goal is to be the strongest.

But Ereshkigal was not the strongest god.

If we exclude her underworld powers, her divinity can only be considered average.

Therefore, Shirou Kotomine must surpass him.

His goal is extremely high!
