Chapter 206 The Power of Interfering with Time
Chiron's final gamble was indeed very well planned.
One thing leads to another, and although there are some parts that seem to depend on luck, Chiron has corresponding remedies for each of those parts in his mind.
Therefore, Chiron said that it was all about luck.
But in reality, he had already planned everything out.
With Chiron's intelligence, he certainly could do such a thing.
However, the prerequisite for doing this is that Shirou Kotomine knows nothing about Chiron's Noble Phantasm.
Logically speaking, it's impossible for Kotomine Shirou to know about Chiron's Noble Phantasm.
After all, Chiron has never used his Noble Phantasm.
As for guessing based on his life experiences, that's even more impossible.
After all, Chiron's Noble Phantasm is one of the rarer ones among all Servants.
The arrows were actually shot from Sagittarius, the constellation he transformed into after his death.
Chiron didn't think anyone could guess it.
However, Shirou Kotomine does indeed know about Chiron's Noble Phantasm.
He was using memories from his past life.
Chiron could not possibly know such a thing.
So he never expected that all his actions were completely exposed to Shirou Kotomine.
The moment Chiron hid inside the Yggdrasil Castle, Shirou Kotomine immediately guessed his intentions.
So Kotomine Shirou acted in accordance with his plan.
This will make it easier to end the battle.
Chiron wanted to block Kotomine Shirou's view by using the roof above his head, so that Kotomine Shirou would not be able to detect the existence of his "Scorpion Shot" before it penetrated the roof.
With the speed of Scorpion's shot, the moment it pierced the roof, Shirou Kotomine would no longer be able to dodge the attack.
Chiron did this to guard against Shirou Kotomine's teleportation.
Kotomine Shirou has used this move several times in this battle.
Chiron, who has eyes that can see a thousand miles and is constantly gathering information, will naturally be on guard.
Regardless of the type of ability, activating it requires the user to react and activate their own ability.
For the strong, this process takes only a moment.
But it does exist.
Chiron believed that if he used this attack to finish off Kotomine Shirou on the plains, Kotomine Shirou would definitely be able to react and dodge it by teleporting.
But if it's indoors.
When the shot pierced through the roof, Shirou Kotomine had absolutely no time to react.
This was Chiron's true scheme.
But he also didn't know that Shirou Kotomine, who possessed what resembled a Mystic Eye, had a 360-degree field of vision.
He also possesses the ability to see through objects.
The field of vision extends for more than ten kilometers.
In this situation, when Scorpion's arrow was still more than ten kilometers away from Kotomine Shirou, Kotomine Shirou had already sensed the existence of this attack.
Although Scorpio's shot is very fast.
Ten kilometers is just a blink of an eye.
But for a strongman like Shirou Kotomine, that was enough time for him to dodge the attack.
After all, Scorpio's first shot is a Noble Phantasm aimed at humans.
He only attacked that one point.
Rather than a range-based attack.
This is easy for Shirou Kotomine to avoid.
In Kotomine Shirou's view, the greatest threat to the Scorpion Shot Noble Phantasm comes from its concealment.
When you are dueling with an archer, your eyes and attention will be fixed on the arrows that the other person shoots from his bow.
At this moment, an attack that suddenly comes from above without any warning is the most deadly.
Chiron was clearly aware of this as well.
The reason he threw away his bow in front of Shirou Kotomine was not just to use Pankratine to engage Shirou Kotomine in close combat.
He did this so that Shirou Kotomine would ignore the attack coming from afar.
This reinforces the subjective perception that "he has no more arrows to shoot."
This made the attack even more unexpected.
Chiron had prepared extensively for this attack.
But he never imagined that Kotomine Shirou, who knew his abilities intimately through his memories of his past life, had been on guard against that arrow that came from the sky.
This battle was planned by Shirou Kotomine from beginning to end.
Therefore, as Chiron rejoiced at his impending victory, Shirou Kotomine couldn't help but chuckle and say to him, "Do you think you've won?"
This sudden greeting struck Chiron like a bolt from the blue.
Then, Kotomine Shirou subtly dodged to the side.
The blow that embodied all of Chiron's hopes struck the earth.
This shot didn't hit anyone.
The next moment, intense pain shot through Chiron's abdomen as Shirou Kotomine's arm pierced through his chest.
Chiron made extensive preparations to ensure that the attack would hit its mark.
This also included putting himself in danger so that Shirou Kotomine would focus all his energy on him, thus ignoring the attacks from the sky as much as possible.
Therefore, his current predicament is real.
So when Kotomine Shirou dodged the attack from the sky, he immediately pressed his advantage and delivered the final blow to Chiron.
Kotomine Shirou's arm pierced straight through Chiron's chest.
That ended his life.
"You... already knew about my Noble Phantasm?"
Looking at Shirou Kotomine so close to him, Chiron asked in confusion.
"That's right!"
Shirou Kotomine did not deceive the other party.
"Oh, I see!"
Chiron smiled wryly.
Recalling his plan, he couldn't help but shake his head.
It was all in vain.
His plan had no chance of succeeding from the very beginning.
"I'm sorry, Master, I can't grant your wish."
After letting out a sigh, Chiron's body vanished.
Then, Shirou Kotomine completely absorbed all of his power, ending all his connections in this Holy Grail War.
He will become an important force for Shirou Kotomine.
He contributed to his complete victory over Achilles and Karna.
"Has this moment finally arrived?"
Feeling the abundant power within his body, Shirou Kotomine's lips couldn't help but curl into a slight smile.
Tonight, he absorbed too much of the Servant's power.
These forces converged within his body, causing Shirou Kotomine to experience a feeling of expansion within his body.
Kotomine Shirou understood that this was because he had not yet fully absorbed and mastered these powers.
After tonight ends, he will need more time to fully digest the abilities of these Servants.
But at this moment, he didn't have the time for that.
Because he still needs to challenge Karna and Achilles next.
"Next target, Achilles!"
Kotomine Shirou turned around and turned his gaze toward the battlefield where Achilles was in the distance.
At this moment, he was fighting five opponents alone.
The two sides are currently evenly matched.
After all, Shirou Kotomine's order to the Servants was to hold off Karna and Achilles.
Therefore, when the five focused on defense and worked together, even Karna and Achilles could not break through the restrictions binding them.
Karna might be able to.
As long as he unleashes his strongest Noble Phantasm.
But using his trump card to break free from constraints is far too extravagant for Karna.
After all, once the God-Slaying Spear is unleashed, his golden armor will never return.
But by then, he was no longer so invincible.
Slowly walking to the broken wall, he sat down and gazed at the battle in the distance. Kotomine Shirou was resting.
Of course, Shirou Kotomine's rest was not because he was tired.
Rather, he was transforming Chiron's power.
This will take some time.
Just a little bit.
As a result, Shirou Kotomine got some time to rest.
As he prepared to face Karna and Achilles, Shirou Kotomine couldn't help but smile.
For Shirou Kotomine, only the two of them were his true rivals.
No matter how fiercely the others fight, they have no chance of defeating Kotomine Shirou.
Of all these, Karna is the most dangerous.
Karna and Achilles are rivals with two different fighting styles.
Achilles is strong in his normal state.
There are even selection-type Noble Phantasms like "The Unfading Flower of the Brave".
Without divinity or divine artifacts, one has no chance of defeating him.
However, if he could be exempted from the screening process, his threat level would drop dramatically for Shirou Kotomine.
As for Karna, in his normal state, he is no match for Shirou Kotomine.
But thanks to his golden armor, he was able to keep going against Kotomine Shirou.
When he unleashes his full power, even Shirou Kotomine has to temporarily retreat from the terrifying God-Slaying Spear.
So since arriving here, Shirou Kotomine has never considered confronting them head-on.
Although he was not without hope of victory.
In fact, his win rate is not low.
However, Shirou Kotomine still chose to break through their abilities one by one.
Because this wasn't a situation where he needed to risk his life.
At this time, Shirou Kotomine had various connections with many people.
He wouldn't and couldn't just casually put his life on the scales.
"I'm so sorry, you two!"
Kotomine Shirou said with a slight apology.
After expressing his apology, Shirou Kotomine stood up again.
At this moment, Chiron's power had been fully transformed.
His power had already flowed into Shirou Kotomine's body and been received by him.
After fully absorbing Chiron's power, Shirou Kotomine also experienced a power called "divinity" for the first time.
With divine blessing, Shirou Kotomine felt that all his power had been enhanced.
Moreover, it's a huge improvement.
Even if Chiron's divinity is only C-level.
But this is still a significant improvement.
"Is this divinity?"
Feeling the divine power, Shirou Kotomine was filled with inspiration.
This is a power that Shirou Kotomine has never encountered before.
That is why it has such high value.
Unfortunately, Kotomine Shirou didn't have time to study him at that time.
Moreover, his schedule is already fully booked for a long time to come.
"There's never enough time!"
Kotomine Shirou couldn't help but sigh.
Time is really too tight.
After all, the day of the final battle in Uruk is getting closer and closer.
Theoretically, as long as Uruk doesn't go to fight the Beast Goddess, he can postpone Tiamat's arrival.
But Chaldea will not allow this.
Because behind the Tiamat disaster was the mastermind behind it all, Goetia.
He is steadily accumulating his power, preparing to reduce all the history of that parallel world to nothingness.
That was a true cataclysmic crisis.
And that incident happened not long ago.
Therefore, Chaldea must resolve the Seventh Singularity as soon as possible and then prepare to face the final boss.
Therefore, Tiamat's arrival could not be delayed at all.
Ultimately, it's because this cheat system is too primitive and rudimentary!
Recalling his ability to travel through time, Shirou Kotomine couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.
Generally, time travel abilities include the ability to adjust time differences.
Unlike Shirou Kotomine, whose time travel ability is unable to adjust time differences, meaning he uses the same timeline no matter which world he's in.
That's the real culprit behind his lack of time.
Thinking of this, Shirou Kotomine recalled another piece of advice Merlin had given him before he came.
To acquire a magic trick that can interfere with time.
Merlin's suggestion was precisely aimed at the problem of the same timeline in different worlds.
According to Merry, Shirou Kotomine's ability is very primitive and rigid.
To influence it, one must acquire the corresponding abilities.
Just like Shirou Kotomine, who was completely unaware and gained nothing when he traveled through time before gaining spatial abilities.
However, after gaining the ability to travel through time, Shirou Kotomine experienced the process of time travel and was able to gain power from it.
This is precisely proof that "this ability is very rigid".
Therefore, if he wants to gain the ability to adjust time differences, Shirou Kotomine must first obtain time-related abilities so that he can feel the existence of time during the process of time travel.
This gives him the potential to influence the adjustment of the time difference.
Although it was only a possibility, Kotomine Shirou was already incredibly excited.
No matter what it is, the hardest part is going from zero to one.
Even the slightest possibility would have a huge impact on Shirou Kotomine.
This is something that Shirou Kotomine will not let go of.
He will hold on tightly.
As for the goal?
That would be Emiya Kiritsugu, of course!
In Shirou Kotomine's memory, there were only two people he knew in the Type-Moon world who possessed abilities related to time.
One is Kiritsugu Emiya, and the other is Aoko Aozaki.
The former is very familiar to Shirou Kotomine.
Emiya Shirou's adoptive father.
He was also the one who led him down the path of no return as a "partner of justice".
His magic, "Time Control," allows him to adjust the speed of his own time, thereby increasing his own speed.
The other one, Aozaki Aoko, is a magician in the Type-Moon world.
That's right, it's the magician from the Five Great Magics.
Having inherited her grandfather's magic, she is undoubtedly a figure standing at the pinnacle of the Type-Moon world.
Of course, because Aozaki Aoko was just an ordinary person before receiving the magic of the Aozaki family, her combat power at this time may not have reached the level she should have.
Even so, after gaining a basic grasp of the power of magic, she managed to resurrect the dead.
Time rewind!
Aozaki Aoko used this power.
In fact, this power is the one that truly demonstrates the terrifying power of time.
Although time acceleration is also a power of time.
But the difference between the two lies in the level of customs and land.
She can even bring her future self into the present, which is why Shirou Kotomine doesn't intend to obtain time-related abilities from Aozaki Aoko.
Even though Aozaki Aoko hasn't reached her peak in terms of ability mastery yet.
But they can directly borrow money from the future.
Aozaki Aoko, who truly mastered magic, was undoubtedly a powerful figure standing at the pinnacle of the Type-Moon world.
Such a powerful figure is someone that Shirou Kotomine cannot afford to offend right now.
Therefore, he could only choose Emiya Kiritsugu as his target from the bottom of his heart.
