Chapter 242 The Mind's Eye and the Power of God
This is a long journey.
Kotomine Shirou, Jeanne d'Arc, Tomoe Gozen, and Ereshkigal traveled all over the country.
Ocean, desert, ice field.
Even these places bear their footprints.
When Shirou Kotomine put aside his research and devoted himself to this journey, forgetting all his difficulties and responsibilities, he seemed to undergo a transformation.
His mind evolved.
Since embarking on this path, Shirou Kotomine has never stopped.
Even during his rest time, he would unconsciously think of the tasks he had assigned to himself.
Because he was indeed pressed for time at that time.
This made it a habit for him.
Even after returning to Fairy Tail and having ample time, he still couldn't relax.
Kotomine Shirou was actually quite exhausted.
But he didn't realize how tired he was.
Until this trip arrived.
"How beautiful this sea is."
Standing at the bow of the ship, gazing at the vast ocean, Shirou Kotomine couldn't help but sigh.
Kotomine Shirou and his three companions had been on this ship for more than ten days, and he had already grown tired of this ocean.
Because the scenery at sea remains almost unchanged.
But today, when Shirou Kotomine, after his mental transformation, looked at the ocean again, he was once again awestruck by its beauty.
This was a view he had never seen before.
Thus, during his subsequent travels, Shirou Kotomine completely forgot about his research.
He completely let go of the heavy burden on his shoulders.
He found solace in the scenery along the way.
Experience the beauty of nature.
At this moment, Shirou Kotomine's mind began to transcend.
In the blink of an eye, another six months have passed.
For the past six months, Shirou Kotomine has been on the road, making it his freest six months yet.
It was also the six months that he remembered most vividly.
But every journey has an end.
After half a year, Shirou Kotomine returned to Magnolia and Fairy Tail once again.
"President, welcome back!"
"You must be tired from your trip, Chairman."
"I've missed you so much, President."
As soon as Shirou Kotomine returned, he was surrounded by the Fairy Tail mages.
After not seeing each other for half a year, all the members missed Shirou Kotomine terribly.
Quietly and unnoticed, Shirou Kotomine's status in their hearts is now no lower than that of the former chairman, Makarov.
Although Fairy Tail was popularized by Makarov.
But before that, Fairy Tail was just small, not weak.
In fact, Makarov was the weakest of the first three chairmen.
But for the Fairy Tail members, whether Makarov is strong or weak is meaningless.
After all, he was like a father to them.
As for Shirou Kotomine, he was the one who saved the day when Fairy Tail was on the verge of collapse.
He carried the entire fairy tail on his shoulder.
In their eyes, Shirou Kotomine is like an older brother.
Both their father and older brother are incredibly important to the members of Fairy Tail.
"Everyone, let's start the banquet!"
Surrounded by everyone, Shirou Kotomine, whose mind had been liberated by his travels, shouted loudly.
This shout used to be heard frequently in Fairy Tail.
However, in the current Fairy Tail series, Shirou Kotomine hasn't uttered this phrase for a long time.
Upon hearing Shirou Kotomine's shout, Fairy Tail immediately erupted in a commotion.
"oh!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
So, delicious food and fine wine were served.
Everyone was together, drinking heavily, eating heartily, and making a lot of noise.
The lively banquet lasted for three whole days.
Fairy Tail also had three noisy days.
Three days later, everyone returned home after the banquet, while Shirou Komine lay on his seat in the guild hall after the festivities had ended.
Gazing at the familiar ceiling, Shirou Kotomine closed his eyes with a smile.
"That's great."
"It feels like going back to the past."
Kotomine Shirou is asleep.
In his dream, he returned to the scene where he used to play around with Nazuna Lucy and the others.
He was very happy at that time.
After the banquet ended and everything returned to normal, Shirou Kotomine did not rush back to his laboratory.
As the chairman, he handled the daily affairs within Fairy Tail.
He hadn't done this in a long time.
Even if I did try, I've never actually done it more than a few times.
Most of the time, Shirou Kotomine delegated these tasks to Macao.
When he resumed these tasks, the unfamiliarity did not linger; he quickly became familiar with the official duties.
Doing these things after so long, Shirou Kotomine felt a sense of joy.
During this time, he took care of the guild members' lives, pointed out their confusion, and secretly learned about the lives of the Servants.
Everything went so smoothly.
Fairy Tail has embarked on the road to revival.
And so, Shirou Kotomine remained in the position of guild leader for a month.
He returned to the lab a month later.
However, this time he moved the laboratory back from the forest outside Magnolia to the upper floor of Fairy Tail.
Here, he can always maintain a pleasant mood.
When Shirou Kotomine returned to his research after a seven-month hiatus, he suddenly realized that he was no longer the same person he used to be.
His gaze seemed even sharper.
When Shirou Kotomine was researching a project, he could only solve various problems and gradually analyze where the problems actually occurred.
But now, when faced with a problem again, Shirou Kotomine can see right through it.
This directly omits the complicated and tedious explanations in the middle.
It gets straight to the heart of the problem.
This level of insight is something that Shirou Kotomine did not possess in the past.
But now he has gained this ability.
Shirou Kotomine doesn't know exactly how he acquired this ability.
But he guessed it was related to his change in mood.
Kotomine Shirou refers to this ability as "Mind's Eye".
Although this may differ somewhat from the Servant's inherent skill, Mind's Eye.
But Shirou Kotomine felt that this was his true intention.
Eyes that can see through the fog and get straight to the essence of things.
Besides its application in research, this ability, which Kotomine Shirou named "Mind's Eye," has many other uses as well.
The most obvious example is the ability to control strength.
Shirou Kotomine already had a very refined grasp of his own power.
But now he realizes just how crudely he used his power.
With such a crude grasp of the skill, how much energy did I actually waste?
Those empty losses are meaningless.
But it is also extremely important.
At this moment, Shirou Kotomine's mastery of power has increased more than tenfold compared to before, and this ability continues to improve.
This means that when Shirou Kotomine uses the same ability again in the future, the power of his attacks will be several times, even dozens of times, greater than it is now.
These are all benefits brought about by improved mastery of strength.
After all, at the moment of attack, some energy will always leak out when the energy flows from the magic source to the outside of the body.
Even when energy is gathered together, it doesn't mean that its full power can be unleashed.
The degree to which power is concentrated is also closely related to its power.
And these are just the two most noticeable places.
The loss of power is even greater in other, less noticeable places.
These are things that are unavoidable under normal circumstances.
But as Shirou Kotomine's heart undergoes a transformation, he gains the ability to see into his mind and begins to prevent the loss of these powers.
As a result, his strength began to increase.
In addition, the area where Kotomine Shirou's martial arts skills improved significantly after obtaining the Mind's Eye was also greatly enhanced.
Shirou Kotomine once raised his martial arts skills to the pinnacle of ordinary people by drawing on his experience from various weapons.
But since it represents the pinnacle of mortal achievement, it also means that it is extremely difficult to surpass.
That is indeed the case.
Shirou Kotomine lingered at the pinnacle of humanity for a long time.
Of course, "a long time" here refers to the speed at which Kotomine Shirou's martial arts skills improved in the past.
In fact, Shirou Kotomine has only been in this field for less than two years.
At this moment, after achieving the Mind's Eye, Kotomine Shirou's martial arts skills broke through and reached a superhuman level.
If those martial arts masters knew about this speed, they would probably be so angry they'd vomit blood.
After all, even if they stayed at this peak until they died, they would find it difficult to break through.
As for Mine Shirou, he had only been there for two years and was already complaining about his slow progress.
But that's exactly the truth.
Furthermore, Shirou Kotomine's martial arts skills did not stop after entering the inhuman realm; he is still making rapid progress.
After all, Shirou Kotomine had just obtained the Mind's Eye.
He hasn't fully figured out this ability yet.
As Shirou Kotomine gained a clearer understanding of this ability, his martial arts skills improved rapidly.
He will probably reach the inhuman pinnacle very soon.
Then advance towards the realm of the gods.
In Kotomine Shirow's view, all of this is just around the corner.
"I never imagined that a trip could bring me such a significant improvement; it's truly unbelievable!"
A smile spread across Shirou Kotomine's face.
And that smile had been on his face for a long time.
After all, the improvement he received this time was truly significant.
This far surpasses what he could have achieved in six months of practice.
Or rather, such an extraordinary encounter is probably something one will only happen once in a lifetime.
How could this not make Kotomine Shirou happy?
With a pleased smile, Shirou Kotomine withdrew his eleven clones.
In an instant, all the research conducted by these eleven clones over the past six months flowed into Kotomine Shirou's mind and converged together.
Different research and different ideas constantly collided in Shirou Kotomine's mind.
Inspiration kept flowing.
He quickly took out his notebook and began recording his inspiration.
As for his insights, Shirou Kotomine did not record them.
Because once he splits his clones out again, these insights will be gathered in the minds of all the clones, contributing to their research.
After gaining insight, Shirou Kotomine observed the research conducted by his clones.
He discovered that many of the problems that had previously troubled his clones were now easily solved in his eyes.
Grasp the essence of the problem and solve it quickly.
This made Shirou Kotomine even more satisfied.
He then re-divided his soul.
Eleven cunning individuals named Kotomine Shirou were identified.
In an instant, Shiro Kotomine's research career achieved another major breakthrough.
All research projects began to progress rapidly.
The continuous stream of positive feedback made Shirou Kotomine grin from ear to ear.
"Shirou, I've borrowed what you wanted from the council."
On the second floor of Fairy Tail, just as Shirou Kotomine was taking a break, Macao quickly walked upstairs and handed him several thick magic books.
"Oh, did you borrow it?"
Kotomine Shirou quickly sat up.
He solemnly accepted the magic books from Marcao's hands.
And on the very first book of magic, it is clearly written: "Sky God-Slaying Magic".
That's right, these books are all magic books that record the magic of destroying gods.
As a God-Slaying Magic with power comparable to Dragon Slayer Magic, the grimoire recording God-Slaying Magic has always been kept in the Magic Council.
Moreover, the council does not actually value these magical books.
Because what's important is never the magic book itself, but the knowledge recorded in it.
How could the Council not know the power of the God-Slaying Magic?
But there's no way around it; the God-Slaying Magic is just too selective in who it works on.
No matter how precious the magic, it is meaningless if no one can cultivate it.
This is what the magic of destroying gods is like.
Thus, through his connections with Fairy Tail and the Magic Council, Shirou Kotomine easily borrowed these magic books that recorded the magic to destroy gods.
This process is not difficult at all.
After all, with two years having passed, Shirou Kotomine had now become the fifth of the Ten Wizard Saints.
The first four of the Ten Wizard Saints are not human.
Therefore, at this time, Shirou Kotomine is the strongest human on this continent.
Faced with this title of the strongest, the council naturally gave it a lot of face.
Besides, Fairy Tail does have members in the council; otherwise, who would have cleaned up all the messes Fairy Tail has made in the past?
In short, Shirou Kotomine obtained these magical books very smoothly.
Why did Shirou Kotomine suddenly want these books?
It's worth noting that Shirou Kotomine used to look down on God-Slaying Magic.
But at this moment he changed his mind.
Because Ereshkigal gave Shirou Kotomine two definite answers.
That means there are gods in this world.
Furthermore, the first guild master, who resides in the basement of Fairy Tail, is indeed cursed by a god.
These two pieces of news rekindled Shirou Kotomine's interest in God-Slaying Magic.
As far as Shirou Kotomine knows, Zeref, the creator of God-Slaying Magic, has the same curse as the First Guild Master.
Then the magic to destroy gods might not be so simple.
Shirou Kotomine once looked down on God-Slaying Magic because it couldn't access the true power of the gods.
However, Zeref, the creator of the God-Slaying Magic, was tormented by the power of the gods.
He had truly come into contact with divine power.
Moreover, they have been in contact for hundreds of years.
So, as the world's top mage, does Zeref's creation of God-Slaying Magic contain his understanding of true God-Slaying Magic?
Kotomine Shirou was very curious about this.
