Chapter 108 - Chapter 108: Emperor

At this moment, the battle within the light screen came to an abrupt end.

But even without seeing it with their own eyes, all the viewers could imagine what would happen if it continued.

The True Ancestor, Arcueid, in her Light Body form—her next move would likely be extremely brutal!

Thinking of this, all the viewers shuddered.

At this moment, in Chaldea.

Dr. Roman patted his chest.

"Fortunately, there was no conflict within Chaldea, otherwise I'm afraid Chaldea could have been torn to pieces in an instant."

When he thought of the power Arcueid displayed in the previous battle, Dr. Roman felt a little scared.

She was worthy of being a True Ancestor, worthy of being a Princess.

[Bullet Comments]

[Waver Velvet]: At first, she was just an ordinary, slightly noble princess, but when the battle progressed, I knew I was wrong, so wrong!

[Emiya Shirō]: Is this the power of the Type-Moon Princess? It's too terrifying!

[Zhuge Kongming]: Can such a being truly be defeated? Destroy its physical body, and it unfolds into an even more powerful Light Body. This is simply a cheat-like trait.

[Merlin]: After all, she is a True Ancestor. It's normal that we ordinary folk can't comprehend it.

Just as everyone was heatedly discussing, the title of the next entry had already appeared on the light screen.

[Type-Moon Entry: The Great Qin Lostbelt!]

[The Most Powerful Emperor Through the Ages Who Never Ages!]

[The Flesh is Weak, the Machine Ascends - The First Emperor!]

At this moment, looking at the words on the light screen, all the viewers were visibly stunned.

They were very clear about what a Lostbelt was.

A previous entry in the light screen had shown a Singularity, which was the Fairy Britain Singularity where Altria Caster appeared.

Therefore, they understood very well what a Singularity represented.

However, the so-called "Great Qin Lostbelt" now appearing on the light screen left many viewers feeling unfamiliar.

Great Qin, like Britain, should be the name of a country.

However, most viewers and Heroic Spirits didn't know much about it.

Except for some Heroic Spirits and Servants familiar with the Eastern nation, who showed shocked expressions upon seeing the name "The First Emperor," the rest of the audience fell into confusion.

At that moment, text finally appeared on the light screen.

[Ying Zheng, The First Emperor.]

[Unified the Eastern Continent in 221 BC, the first person to style himself 'Huangdi' (Emperor).]

[The first emperor under heaven, standardized writing, unified cart gauges, achieving great feats!]

[His true identity is the manifestation of the First Emperor of China within the Lostbelt.]

[Using the immense power obtained through the centralized system, he devoted all efforts to domestic affairs and technological development, attempting to explore the path to immortality, thereby becoming a true being who could continuously extend his lifespan—the ultimate conclusion.]

[In the Lostbelt, Ying Zheng recovered the remains of the artificial human created by the immortal Taiyi Zhenren from the ruins of the Shang Dynasty, and through analysis, obtained the technology for body mechanization.]

[Thus, the First Emperor, having realized his long-cherished wish for immortality, avoided the era of warfare through iron-fisted rule, allowing China to complete its Industrial Revolution before the Western Renaissance, and conquered the world through an overwhelming technological gap.]

[To enhance his capacity to dominate the entire Earth, the First Emperor continuously expanded his mechanized divine body. Eventually, his body even engulfed the Epang Palace, his residence, and his colossal form floated over Xianyang via anti-gravity.]

[His majesty, which allowed people across the territory to pay homage to the Emperor day and night, could be called the embodiment of surveillance and rule. The Emperor used his god-like computational power to predict the lives of all his subjects and dictate their fates.]

[The internal structure of the mechanized divine body is not a human form, but an existence mimicking the natural environment, like an artificial garden composed of miniature models of mountains, forests, and mercury rivers.]

[The body itself is regarded as a small universe, and the Epang Palace-type First Emperor operates according to the principles of Feng Shui magecraft that function in the natural world.]

[Afterward, the First Emperor obtained the opportunity to analyze a sample of a living Xian (Immortal/Transcendent), enabling him to achieve the state of a 'corpse-liberated Xian' while maintaining a human form. However, he still believed the appearance of a supercomputing device was more fitting for the ruler of the world.]

[The method of ascension obtained by analyzing the Fusang Tree was verified using living body data collected from Koyanskaya (Jiexiu), and successfully cultivated in a culture tank. His reason for refining the human body again was merely to decide victory or defeat in an acceptable manner, nothing more.]

[The body of the First Emperor, whose "soul" and "spirit" were cultivated as the crystallization of electronic Xian arts evolved to the limit, can be said to possess the ultimate balance and ability unattainable by the human body.]

[The only absolute and immortal being, having no need for reproduction, has transcended gender.]

[It could even be said that this artificial Xian form is the endpoint of the technology cultivated by the Eternal Qin Empire over 2,000 years.]

[This form is the so-called ultimate of human existence. Overcoming death, transcending Yin and Yang, reaching the immortal truth—the only true 'Zhenren' in existence, the Emperor who rules the world between Heaven and Earth.]

[His majestic appearance is enough to make all people within the territory kneel devoutly before the Emperor's form day and night. This is undoubtedly the ultimate embodiment of surveillance and rule.]

[The Emperor uses god-like computational power to see through the fate of each subject and weave a web of destiny for them.]

Within the light screen, the description of the First Emperor from the Great Qin Lostbelt shocked all viewers.

Although they had heard of the supreme power of the First Emperor in the Lostbelt, his actual might still far exceeded everyone's imagination!

For a time, this Emperor became the focus of discussion among heroes and magi across all worlds.

[Bullet Comments]

[Golden Flash (Gilgamesh)]: An artificial Xian, truly self-aware. If we meet in a Holy Grail War, it would surely be most amusing!

[Waver Velvet]: If you really met in a Holy Grail War, would this First Emperor need time to develop his technology? That seems incompatible with the fast-paced battles of the Holy Grail War, right?

[Emiya Kiritsugu]: Correct. If the First Emperor had enough time to develop, reaching the level described in the text, he would definitely be terrifying. It's estimated no one could defeat him. But no one would give him time to develop slowly.

[Zhuge Kongming]: Worthy of being the greatest emperor through the ages. Even in the Lostbelt, his actions are astonishing enough!

[Zhou Yu]: Why did this become a Lostbelt? Under the First Emperor's leadership, isn't the development quite prosperous?

At this moment, within the light screen, the introduction of the First Emperor continued.

[He is arrogant but kind-hearted, and cannot tolerate the suffering of others.]

[He is essentially a benevolent person, but the 'good' he recognizes is "being managed under the protection of Qin." In the end, it's just a kind intention that annoys others.]

[He possesses a strong curiosity, is interested in everything, and wants to get to the bottom of things. But from the start, he believes that "the Qin Empire is still the best in the world," and always looks down on others.]

[His curiosity stems from conducting preliminary investigations for future conquests.]

[He is a ruler who seriously considers "the future of the world" on any timeline and actively intervenes whenever the world is on the brink of crisis.]

[He is surprised by human civilization, which handles events "not by relying on a single absolute individual, but by facing fate together as a people." But he also understands that this world has more future potential than his self-ruled world, which ended as a pruned phenomenon. He is determined to calmly witness the end of his world.]

[The first ancestor who unified the country and established the status of Emperor in China's long history.]

[He implemented centralization through the commandery-county system, unified currency and measurements, built transport roads, and created many great achievements that later became the foundation of China's prosperity.]

[The First Emperor of the Lostbelt survived in a mechanical body for 2,200 years and achieved the transcendence of unifying the world early on.]

[Although he was a wise king who cared for the people, he did not regard the people as 'people.']

[The humans he defined were "those who take responsibility for the future of themselves and the world." In the Qin Empire ruled by the First Emperor, the only existence that met this definition was the Emperor himself.]

[Humans who entrusted all sovereignty to the ruler were not "human-like existences."]

[The First Emperor only regarded the people as livestock and pets that needed to be managed and enjoyed.]

[Although he is a lonely and self-centered existence, he has completely overcome the human weaknesses of selfish desires and malice. His character is not distorted by this situation.]

[He can also be like a wise and understanding...]

[But... they could not reach the mutual understanding that they were both human.]

[Therefore, he was deeply shocked by the possibility of democracy described by the visitors from the Proper Human History—that is, "all people are human."]

At this moment, all the viewers gasped as they watched the introduction of the First Emperor.

[Bullet Comments]

(To read the novel, go to Faloo Novels!)

[Cú Chulainn]: Is this what they call 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions'?

[Dr. Roman]: Even after becoming like this, his character shows no distortion. What amazing willpower!

[Zhuge Kongming]: Has the First Emperor become too obsessed with a dead end? Or is there a deviation in his cognition?

Simultaneously, in the Great Qin Lostbelt.

The First Emperor stared at the myriad scenes in the light screen, feeling a rare silence rise within his heart.

To be honest, after watching so many reviews, the supreme Emperor had developed a strong interest in Chaldea and the Proper Human History on the other side of the screen.

He once held the notion that "Confucianism" was a malevolent civilization and tried his utmost to obstruct the spread and learning of knowledge...

However, through Chaldea in the light screen, the Emperor's concepts had quietly changed.

Fujimaru Ritsuka had shown him the endless possibilities of Proper Human History!

Admittedly, that world might be fuller of suffering than his nation. Driven by desire, wars were frequent, and there was no peace.

But it was undeniable that only in such an environment could a group of tenacious, unyielding warriors like Chaldea be bred.

Even when the world faced destruction, they never considered giving up, but bravely marched forward, overcoming numerous hardships.

This was especially vividly displayed in the two reviews about battling the Evils of Humanity.

Even he couldn't help but be moved by Chaldea and Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Thinking of this, the Emperor was filled with curiosity. He couldn't wait to find out how the Chaldea in the light screen would face him, the ruler of Great Qin.

And how they would deal with the overwhelming power of the entire Great Qin.

"If the 'me' on the screen could witness this possibility, perhaps..."

There was a hint of subtlety in the First Emperor's tone, as if he had a premonition of his own fate within the light screen.

At this moment, under everyone's attention, the light screen began to flicker.

[Within the magnificent Epang Palace, the First Emperor's voice resounded: "Very well, I have dismissed everyone. If you still wish to follow etiquette, show yourself!"]

[As his voice fell, a figure emerged from the shadows, appearing before everyone.]

[This person was the rebel who had attempted to assassinate the Emperor but failed—Jing Ke, one of the Three Rebel Knights.]

This scene made all viewers familiar with the First Emperor's historical deeds suddenly realize—there was indeed such an assassin in history who had attacked this great emperor!

The audience was full of doubt. Facing such a terrifying Emperor, what was this assassin thinking, that she dared to rashly attempt to assassinate this arrogant ruler?

At this moment, in the light screen.

[The First Emperor's gaze lingered on Jing Ke, a trace of curiosity and amusement flashing in his eyes.]

["I have scanned multiple times and found no traces of explosives. The only weapon in your hand is a mere dagger. I wish to know, how do you plan to harm my Dragon Body with it?"]

As these words were spoken, the audience had a sudden realization.

Indeed, the historical Jing Ke had tried to assassinate the First Emperor. Could it be that this time, she was going to fulfill her unfinished destiny?

For a moment, the audience's curiosity was completely ignited.[]

They knew very well from the previous video introduction that this First Emperor's power was beyond description.

He was definitely not someone an ordinary person could easily shake!

Now, Jing Ke was alone, carrying only a dagger, breaking into the Epang Palace, intending to assassinate the Emperor.

Was this action too naive, or even a little fanciful?

At this moment, in the Seventh Singularity.

Gilgamesh looked at Jing Ke in the light screen, frowning in thought.

This Qin Shi Huang had reached such a level; even if the Old Man of the Mountain himself came, it wasn't certain the assassination would be 100% successful.

And yet, this Jing Ke in the light screen actually appeared so openly, with just a small dagger.

"Does she possess some powerful treasure?"

"Or is she too conceited and naive?"

Gilgamesh couldn't think of an answer at all.

Simultaneously, bullet comments emerged like a tide.

[Bullet Comments]

[Mordred]: As one of the Three Rebel Knights, she comes alone, and only has a dagger... How could she possibly succeed in assassinating the powerful First Emperor?

[Waver Velvet]: Although I understand her determination to assassinate the Emperor, relying on just a dagger is undoubtedly suicide.

[Mash Kyrielight]: Miss Jing Ke! Although I don't understand why she's like this, I believe she is definitely not a brave but foolish person. She must have some hidden card up her sleeve!

[Sherlock Holmes]: Indeed. As a famous assassin in history, she wouldn't come here completely unprepared. Otherwise, it would be tantamount to suicide.
