Chapter 319: Narcis-Sisty

—

Neji had no time to waste, so he had to split his attention to finish more jobs at once. So he used his omnipresence to turn himself into two, for a start.

At the very moment, Omni-Neji-1 was sitting on this throne and doing the mundane things a King had to do, while in the meantime Omni-Neji-2 was busy doing a more productive job. That being accompanying Chaldea to meet Ishtar.

West to Uruk was Mount Ebih; that's where the temple and home of Goddess Ishtar was located. Omni-Neji-2 and Chaldea were going there, in a wooden car that was made with the assorted work of both Neji and Da Vinci. It would take them more than a few hours to reach there.

Mundane traveling plus sitting on a throne, two boring things to do. Only thanks to his third self of the Wood Clone, Neji wasn't bored.

His Wood-Clone self was heading to the Kingdom of Judah, to its capital Jerusalem. That's where the Sixth Singularity was taking place.

He flew through the sky with his pristine white wings glistening flattering in the air, glistening under the sun.

It was a bit more than 1200 kilometers from Uruk to Jerusalem, but even as weak as he was at the moment Neji was still faster than an average jet that traveled at 600 kmh. So it took him a bit less than an hour and a half of continuous flight to reach the capital city of the Kingdom of Judah.

"...What a sight." Neji muttered when he was in the skies of Jerusalem, from where he could see the 'Holy City' of Camelot that was summoned in this time zone via the use of the Holy Grail. "Still pales in comparison to my heaven though."

In this singularity, Neji recalled, a war was going on between two kingdoms a while ago. One party managed to summon Heroic Spirits to aid them in war and soon won. However, the summoned Heroes belonging to the Round Table soon overthrew their summoners and began taking over the world under the command of the Lion King, Artoria Pendragon. They built a city overnight, a city that from the outside looked like heaven incarnate. However, only the Knights of the Round Table knew the dirty secret behind this city as of now.

Neji recalled that there should be another group of Heroic Spirits in this area, having been summoned too. They built a city of their own, working under the command of Ozymandias—the heroic spirit who's a pharaoh from ancient Egypt. Calling himself the Sun King, he had also built a kingdom of his own, though his one truly was a paradise in this nearly dead world.

"I might clash with him too, that cheap copy of Gilgamesh. But that's for later." Neji reminded himself as he came to a stop right above the skies of the nearly dead city of Jerusalem. "For now, this place will have one-third of my interest."

They transformed the inner part of Jerusalem City into the Holy City whilst the outer part of it remained old and torn. While the inner city shone brightly even from the outside, the outer part was all ruined, filled with dying and starving people.

Neji wasn't here to destroy the Holy City, so he didn't jump down on it from the sky. Rather, he was here to learn about the current affairs of this place. That's why he entered the outer city like other people in the area.

Neji exchanged his Gilgamesh attire for a much simpler purple shirt and black pants, unwilling to attract useless attractions. He still looked very shiny, totally unsuitable for this area, which might make him a target for the hungry people who would surely think he had money or food to bulge from. So he equipped himself with one of the many shiny swords inside his inventory. It didn't have any special effect but just looked shiny and would work to intimidate the people from not approaching him.
