Is he different from the Hercules that appeared before
It's okay to be different.
The results of summoning a heroic spirit are not set in stone.
In addition to being affected by their job and the level of their Master, the abilities of Servants also vary from region to region.
In regions with high reputation, the servants' abilities will be strengthened accordingly, while in regions with low reputation, their abilities will be weakened. Especially in the hometown where the hero lived before his death, there will even be a miraculous scene of heaven and earth changing.
The most classic example is Vlad III. He could compete with Karna in his homeland, but after entering the court of Semiramis and his fame dropped to zero, he was powerless to fight back.
The popularity here is actually a kind of belief, which belongs to the category of soul power and is under the control of the third magic.
Local beliefs, beliefs that have been spread, and even beliefs that have been distorted after being processed by art in later generations are all collected by Shinji to maximize the strength of his servants.
Today, Hercules not only possesses the "Twelve Trials", the symbol of immortality, but also the corresponding "Twelve Glories".
Although he was a Berserker, he had not lost his mind.
This is Hercules in his prime, more powerful than his native summons, a perfect state that only exists in fantasy!
Not only Hercules, but all the five summoned servants are in this state.
Achilles was wearing the golden armor made by Hephaestus, the god of fire, which was added only when summoned from the homeland. The gun in his hand was also cursed with "wounds cannot heal" - this was a privilege only available to the Lancer class, even though he was now a Rider.
In addition to the signature "Fantasy Greatsword" and "Dragon Blood Armor", Saber Siegfried also added the "Invisibility Cloak" of the Assassin class. Once he puts it on, even the undead who are extremely sensitive to the living cannot detect him. He once used this cloak to trick Brunhilde, the Queen of Iceland (not Siegfried's wife, the eldest sister of the Valkyrie).
Lancer Karna is the largest of the five servants. The chariot that he used to roam the battlefield in his lifetime has been added, and the Bow of Immortality has also been perfectly reproduced. The most important thing is that the God-Killing Spear can be used multiple times and is independent of the Golden Armor. There is no longer a choice between attack and defense, and there is no longer a restriction that the God-Killing Spear can only be used once.
On the contrary, Archer Gilgamesh had the smallest improvement.
Nonsense beliefs like "The Original Codex of Human Wisdom", "Collection of Prototypes of Noble Phantasms", and "As long as humanity is still developing, the treasury will automatically increase" have been added (unlimited props), as well as the "Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence" (strategy guide) from the Goddess Ningsun, and the "Symbol of Royal Power" "Tablet of Destiny" (luck bonus). What else can be strengthened
The most he could do was to add some attributes and recreate the legend of Babylonia's number one wrestler and the strongest man.
Although this still cannot compare to the unparalleled grace of the great heroes when they were alive, it is not comparable to these undead spirits who have been dead for many years.
Shinji didn't need to take any action. After just a few minutes, all the dead bodies near the city wall were cleared out, and the six-man group began to move forward along the road.
As time went by, the team advanced deeper and deeper, and the number of dead bodies destroyed had already exceeded five figures. However, the tide of undead surrounding them did not decrease, but instead showed a trend of intensifying.
There was no other way. Scathach had committed too many sins in her life, and the Kingdom of Shadows had accumulated a large number of dead souls during the thousands of years of the Age of Gods. It was not an easy task to destroy them all with only five servants.
"Hmph, this will never end." Achilles, who rushed the most fiercely, curled his lips impatiently, "Come to my side, I will summon the chariot and rush forward in one breath!"
"Boring! Do you want to make me have a bumpy ride?" Gilgamesh snorted in disgust.
"Then you, the glittering king, must have a good idea?" Achilles retorted unhappily. He couldn't stand people putting on airs in front of him.
"Don't use your simple brain to measure my wisdom."
"What did you say?"
Achilles was furious, but Karna held his shoulder as if nothing had happened, signaling him to calm down.
"You want to use Vimana, right? That is indeed the most suitable Noble Phantasm to break the status quo."
"See, the brain is a good thing."
Gilgamesh continued to taunt as he opened the treasury and called out the Golden Sky Boat.
"Come up, there's no need to get entangled with these bastards. They are just losers under the Queen's gun."
Shinji jumped onto the spaceship without hesitation, followed by Karna, Siegfried, and Hercules. Achilles twisted his mouth and stopped fighting. The experience of the Holy Grail War also made him grow up.
Then, the Tianzhou set sail and soared into the sky.
The undead were chasing closely. Most of the spirits had no mass, so flying was a basic skill for them.
Fortunately, Karna and Hercules were prepared. They each drew their bows and shot arrows, while one of them guarded one side.
The remaining bow and stern were under the charge of Siegfried and Achilles.
After flying for a while, Shinji, the only one who didn't make a move, said, "We should be in the right position, King of Heroes, let's set off a big firework to celebrate our arrival."
"A clown is a clown. He has done a terrifying amount of research on how to stir up the atmosphere. I will do as you wish."
Gilgamesh smiled happily and pressed the control panel with both hands at the same time, performing an unprecedented operation.
The earliest flying machine in ancient India, the origin of all flying machines, the Sky Boat Vimana is not only a vehicle, but also a weapon for aerial decisive battles. It is not only equipped with various treasure systems, but also contains a secret weapon, which has the reputation of an ancient nuclear warhead.
Although its killing power is not as good as the Sword of Separation, its killing range is far greater, ranking first among the king's treasures. Gilgamesh once boasted that he would turn a city into ashes, and although he did not put it into practice in the end, it was enough to show the power of the treasure.
Now this secret weapon is finally going to show its power.
Under Gilgamesh's operation, a gap opened under the Tianzhou, and an inconspicuous sphere was quietly lowered.
None of the undead took it seriously, and by the time the sphere hit the ground and released its energy, it was already too late.
First there was a dazzling light that could blind people's eyes, followed by a terrible sound that could make people deaf. The terrifying magical power that was ten or a hundred times more terrifying than a thunderbolt exploded overhead came from bottom to top, sweeping everything in an instant.
Although they were already far enough away and had prepared defensive artifacts in advance, everyone on the Vimana still felt the severe bumps. But at this time, Achilles no longer had the heart to cause trouble for Gilgamesh. Everyone was attracted by the mushroom cloud rising below.
The name of the ancient nuclear warhead is well-deserved!
PS: According to the analysis of the Epic of Gilgamesh, the real Gilgamesh and Enki should both be muscular men with the style of the Fist of the North Star (you can also use the two men from the Xuanwu Kingdom in "Final Fantasy Type-0" as templates for reference). People like Humbaba and the Bull of Heaven should be relatively powerful beasts.
