Shinji's goal is the four treasures that Gilgamesh abandoned.
When he first read the novel, he was thinking, Jin Shanshan, you prodigal son, if you don’t want me, then I do.
Saber's "Wind King Barrier" and Rider's "God's Wheel" could only cause minor injuries to the sea monsters, but the four treasures were launched at once and destroyed one third of the sea monsters, which was enough to show how powerful the destructive power of these four treasures was.
Regardless of whether this is a special attack Noble Phantasm against monsters like "Gan Jiang·Moye", or an anti-city Noble Phantasm that can exert its power without the need for a True Name Release, the ratings of these four Noble Phantasms will not be lower than C-level, and may even reach B-level. If Gilgamesh has a brain accident, it is not impossible for it to be A-level.
Perhaps in the eyes of Gilgamesh, the richest man of all time, these four treasures are just four insignificant items among countless collections, and they can be thrown away at will, but in Shinji's eyes, this is a brand new trump card.
Of course, you can't just take a Noble Phantasm if you want to, or give it away if you want to. As the trump card of the Heroic Spirit, it is a treasure that is closely related to the Heroic Spirit itself, sublimated from the legends and anecdotes of the Heroic Spirit's life. In the world where Shinji lives, there are only three ways for unrelated people to obtain his ownership, and the conditions for each are quite harsh.
The first type is similar to El-Melloi II in the game "Fategrandorder", who uses himself as a container to carry the Heroic Spirit. In this way, the container can obtain the Heroic Spirit's Noble Phantasm, abilities, and even experience, becoming a Pseudo-Servant.
However, this method has an important prerequisite: the possessed container must be very compatible with the heroic spirit, otherwise the heroic spirit will not descend.
In addition, this method has a high risk. From the moment the container is connected to the Throne of Heroes, the container itself loses the initiative. The summoned Heroic Spirit can choose to possess or not possess according to his own wishes. After possessing, he can also choose whether to hand over the initiative to the original owner of the body. If the initiative is handed over, the possessed human can use the power from the Heroic Spirit with his own will. A successful case is El-Melloi II, who obtained the power of Zhuge Kongming. If the initiative is not handed over, the personality of the Heroic Spirit and the original personality will merge with each other to produce a new personality. However, since the soul of the Heroic Spirit is much stronger than that of a human, the new personality is mainly based on the Heroic Spirit, and the original personality is supplemented. There are no direct cases. A similar case is that the Venus goddess Ishtar leaned over Rin Tosaka. Ishtar's personality accounted for 70% and Rin accounted for 30%. Rin is considered to be very determined among humans. If it were someone else, the situation would be worse.
All the currently known pseudo-servants were created by chance (fraudulent spending) and are not replicable.
Shinji's situation also belongs to this category. He was connected to the Throne of Heroes by chance, but this time the "descent" was not complete. Perseus himself did not descend, only Perseus's Noble Phantasm was descended.
The second type also comes from the game "Fategrandorder". It is a new way for Chaldea to create grass and destroy in order to obtain the power of Heroic Spirits. It is called a sub-servant. This method is similar to the pseudo-servant, but there are some differences in details.
Compared to Pseudo-Servants, Sub-Servants do not have the requirements for compatibility between containers and Heroic Spirits, and will not be affected by the consciousness of Heroic Spirits, because the bodies of Sub-Servants are artificial humans that have undergone countless adjustments since the embryo.
After summoning a heroic spirit, the heroic spirit can also choose to hand over power or not.
By giving up power, a sub-servant is born. A successful example is Matthew, the heroine of "Fategrandorder", who completely obtained the power of Galahad.
The disjoint subdivision is divided into two results: whether to continue to stay in the container.
If they don't stay in the container, the container will die directly - because sub-servants are a naked plunder of the power of heroic spirits, most of the heroic spirits will choose this way to express their dissatisfaction.
Only a few very kind and upright heroes continue to stay in the container and prolong the life of the container. But even so, the artificial people who are containers cannot live long, because the upper limit of their lifespan is far lower than that of humans, only a dozen years.
In fact, Matthew was possessed by Galahad before the plot began, but at that time Galahad, like other heroes, did not agree with this method and was unwilling to give up his power. He could not bear to see Matthew's young life disappear, so he chose a compromise. He did not give up his power, nor did he leave, and continued Matthew's life until the beginning of the plot, when Matthew was on the verge of death, and Galahad was willing to give up his power - it must be said that Lancelot gave birth to a good son.
In a way, this is a more dangerous method than simulating a Servant. Looking at all Type-Moon's works, the technology for creating Sub-Servants is only mastered by Chaldea in the world of "Fategrandorder", and it is not mature, and was abandoned after the birth of Mash, the only successful case.
The third type is those who have special skills or treasures that can snatch the opponent's treasures, such as Lancelot's "Knights Do Not Die Unarmed" and the "Usurper of the Wind of Heaven" of the Revenge Class Uncle Hai in "Fatestrangefake".
The fourth type is the transfer of Noble Phantasms between Servants, which requires the fulfillment of four conditions: "there is no conflict of will and a contract is concluded", "no equal skills are required to release the True Name", "the transferor has a history of lending the Noble Phantasm", and "the recipient also has a history of borrowing the Noble Phantasm".
Shinji plans to combine the third and fourth methods.
Although the current ownership of the Noble Phantasms is still in the hands of Gilgamesh, as long as Lancelot touches these Noble Phantasms with the "Knight Does Not Die Unarmed", the ownership of the Noble Phantasms will be transferred to Lancelot, and then Lancelot can transfer it to Shinji.
However, Shinji is not sure whether the final transfer can be successful.
He didn't know whether the treasure that Lancelot snatched with the excuse of "a knight should not die with bare hands" met the transfer criteria. When Lancelot fought with Gilgamesh for the first time, the treasure that he grasped and then threw away finally returned to Gilgamesh's treasure house.
He didn't know whether there was any anecdote about Lancelot lending out treasures. He had read many books on the subject in his past and present lives, but he had not found any clear record that could be used as an accurate record.
He didn't know if he could be the object of the transfer. Although he had a history of successfully obtaining a Noble Phantasm, and Perseus, the source of the Noble Phantasm, also had an anecdote of borrowing a Noble Phantasm, he was not a Servant after all, but just a slightly special human.
Even so, Shinji still decided to give it a try, for the same reason - if he succeeds, he'll make a lot of money, and if he fails, there's no loss either. Only a fool wouldn't try.
After receiving Shinji's call, Kariya, who was hiding in the dark, looked at the "Vimana" in the sky with hatred, and ordered Berserker in the spirit state to dive to the bottom of the river and search for the Noble Phantasm abandoned by Archer.
Kariya is well aware that his Berserker is strong against humans, but has a hard time playing out its advantages against large monsters. Rashly joining the battle will not only be useless, but will increase his burden. Hiding in the dark is the best option.
Although he couldn't see through Shinji's thoughts, Kariya was willing to believe Shinji because his immature nephew often thought further than he did.
The spirit particle state will not be affected by matter. Berserker sneaked into the Weiyuan River silently without causing even a ripple.
He walked along the riverbed towards the center, nimbly avoiding the tentacles of the sea monster hidden under the water. The body of the sea monster is not just the flesh on the river surface, there is a larger foundation under the invisible river surface. The sea monster, which contains terrifying magic power, can also cause damage to the servants in the spirit state.
On the extension of the line connecting Vimana and the sea demon, two beautifully shaped swords and two shining spears were quietly inserted into the riverbed. The rampaging tentacles moved around the swords and spears, as if they were afraid of these four powerful treasures.
Huge ripples rippled above Berserker's head. Bright silver toenails stepped on the water and passed over his head, rushing towards the sea monster not far away with a fearless momentum.
Berserker stopped moving, and two red lights shone through the full-face helmet covering his head, moving along the ripples.
"Ahhhh—"
The resentful, cursing voice shook Berserker's spirit base, and at that moment, the dark knight transformed into a physical body.
The magic power of the same color as the armor rolled up, carrying murderous intent and frenzy.
Just as the murderous aura was about to burst out of the water, Kariya's voice reached Berserker's ears through the contract.
"Get the treasure and come back immediately."
The Master's order was coercive and stopped Berserker's frenzy. The murderous aura gradually faded, and the frightening red light in the helmet also dimmed.
The dark knight mechanically drew out precious swords and spears, tucked them under his arms, and dragged them all the way back to his master's location.
From beginning to end, no one noticed the arrival and departure of the seventh servant. Just like he had done before, he hid his identity and went out on adventures, keeping his achievements and fame hidden.
PS: The specific process of Kong Ming possessing Weber was not explained, but Ishtar possessing Rin did happen. In Chapter 7 of "Fategrandorder", the temple in Babylonia summoned the patron goddess Ishtar to come, but at that time, humans and gods had already parted ways, and Ishtar could not come in her true form, so she pulled a girl with the closest wavelength from a distant timeline to merge with Ishtar's divinity and become the new Ishtar Rin.
PS2: In "Magical Girl Illya", there is a special method called dream summoning, but that is a completely different world line from the original world where Shinji is, so it is not within the scope of discussion.
