Fate/Ultimate Antagonist

[123] Wisdom and Change

Reinhard gazed intently at the paper paper before him, now dried and slightly curled after having been soaked.

Upon writing the question "Who are you?" in his own blood, the paper began to display bizarre, twisted, and seemingly illogical words... unimaginable characters appeared:

[Your father!]

[A cheerful, sunny boy 🥰]

[Toaster]

[Lol! He believed it! He believed it! 🤣]

[A fun-loving person]

[Speaking the truth~]

[My name is Yoshikage Kira, I'm 33 years old...]

[Fourth Crisis], [Passing Kamen Rider], [Edible Starfish Canned Goods], [Seduction!], [Saffron], [I'm Honest, I'm a Pervert], [Come Push the Buttocks], [All-Brother Here], [Urgent, Urgent, Urgent]...

Reinhard could read each word clearly, yet the content was so bizarre and incomprehensible. The answers kept changing, swirling in a chaotic dance, until finally settling into a string of text that left Reinhard's mind frozen in disbelief:

[We want to see all the characters get feminized. Whether they can be seduced or not, the team seduces them all here!]

"???"

What kind of answer was this?

It seemed...he understood.

These perverts who watched his every move day and night from beyond the record were actually Slaanesh's followers?

No...something seemed off.

Reinhard rubbed his temples, feeling a strange dizziness blocking his thoughts. He felt he was on the brink of understanding something profound, but his mind couldn't grasp it clearly.

Or rather...he wasn't supposed to understand it fully.

Reinhard reached out to retrieve the paper, but the moment his fingers touched the paper, it crumbled into dust, leaving no trace behind.

...

"So, did it fail, Young Master?" Xu Fu asked, seeing the paper disintegrate instantly after Reinhard finished his incantation.

The thin boy, drained from the effort, swayed slightly. Xu Fu quickly stepped forward to support him.

Just writing this paper had left Reinhard feeling utterly exhausted, as if his entire magical energy had been siphoned away. It was as if he had been squeezed dry by a certain witch for seven days and nights.

"No...I'm fine." He muttered weakly, though his lips twitched into a subtle smile despite his depleted state. "It's already worked. I have summoned a spirit."

"Which spirit did you summon?"

"The Lord of Trickery, the Master of Treasures, the embodiment of cunning and deceit. I have summoned the God of Wisdom and Change."

"The Lord of Trickery?"

Xu Fu murmured these unfamiliar titles. As a magus from the first empire, she knew many spirits and gods, but these names were unknown to her. What kind of lineage did they come from?

However, Young Master had many secrets, as numerous and mysterious as the stars in the sky. Xu Fu knew better than to ask too many questions.

She understood that she had been asked to oversee this ritual because of her proficiency in magecraft. She had studied his Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan in-depth, a text focused on summoning outer entities.
