The cold wind blows in the Valley of Despair, the cicadas of spring and autumn sing of the youth's return!
To this day, Souya, who had already given up hope for a golden finger, at this moment heard this voice filled with an electronic synthesized style, and his heart couldn't help but get excited. What a turn of events, one after another! He had thought he would have to rely on his own hard work from now on, but he didn't expect fate to actually give him a system!
Wait a minute? Then what about my 20 years of hardship?
He was suddenly stunned. He subconsciously calculated the suffering he had endured all these years.
So?
And at this time, the system, which was full of a chuunibyou aura, clearly didn't realize what he was thinking and was still talking eloquently.
[How about it, Host? Are you excited? Are you surprised?]
Hearing the system's words, he also came to his senses. He subconsciously looked at the path that he had been unable to step on for 28 years and began to communicate with the system in his heart.
"System, why did you appear so late? It's been 20 years. Do you know how I've lived these 20 years!"
The system, which was clearly a chatterbox, after getting his reply, its tone clearly became more cheerful, and its words became more and more numerous.
[I have actually been in existence since you came to this world, Host. It's just that due to the lack of suitable trigger conditions, I have been unable to communicate with you.]
"Trigger conditions? You mean a holy relic?"
He recalled that just after he touched Morgan's veil, his vision went black and he appeared here, and the system's voice also sounded in his ears. He immediately guessed a lot.
"But I've touched a lot of holy relics before, why didn't you come out?" he asked.
[That's not my problem, Host.]
At this, the system's voice suddenly became a little aggrieved.
[It's not my fault that the mystery content and quality of the holy relics you came into contact with before were too low. With the weak energy of those things, it would have been a miracle if I could have woken up.]
"Oh, so it's my fault."
He rubbed his chin and thought back. It seemed true. At that time, he was just a supervisor of a Subcategory Holy Grail War, and he had no intention of participating himself. And the quality of that war was generally not high, so he hadn't come into contact with any high-quality holy relics. In addition, although he had the title of the Eighth Sacrament Assembly, the things he actually did were basically more inclined to the Burial Agency. Even the occasional work of collecting holy relics was just to kill the target holding the relic and then leave the cleanup to others.
So if the prerequisite for the system's awakening was to come into contact with a high-quality holy relic, then it was indeed his fault. But what was his fault? If he had known that the awakening condition for this damn thing was this, he would have directly gone and touched all the holy relics of the Eighth Sacrament Assembly.
Realizing that it would be a bit impolite to continue discussing this issue, he decisively changed the subject.
"Ahem, by the way, system, what functions do you have? And what's with these nine paths?"
[You've asked the right person, Host. Although you are the master of these nine paths, when it comes to understanding them, I am second to none.]
Hearing this, he immediately put on a look of attentive listening.
[Host, do you know about the diversity of fate?]
Hm? What, are you a Q&A type of system?
Originally prepared to listen to the system's long-winded speech, he complained silently in his heart, but on the surface, he still nodded and answered the system's question. "Of course, I know that much."
[Then it will be much easier for me to explain. Simply put, these nine paths are the diversity of your fate. Each path represents a possibility in your fate, such as possibly becoming a king, or possibly becoming a hero. Just like the threads woven by the goddess of fate, each thread will have different changes after passing through the spinning machine. And these nine paths are all the possibilities of your fate. Stepping into one, you can experience that possibility and personally interfere with that possible future. When you have walked this possibility to the end, the path will come to an end, and this fate will be engraved and become your power.]
?
A question mark slowly appeared above his head.
You call this simple?
"Speak human!"
[Heroic Spirit simulation, extract the future.]
"Wait, so you're just a simulator?!"
He couldn't hold it back anymore. So this guy's words were so chuunibyou before, but in reality, it was just a clichéd simulator. He was now sure that this system was definitely not from Qidian or Faloo. This cliché and useless ability...
I see, you're a spy sent by Ciweimao, aren't you?!
[What nonsense! How could I be such a clichéd system! These are just the functions of these nine paths.]
"Then you mean these are not your abilities?!"
He was suddenly happy. It was good that it wasn't such a sloppy system. It seems I misunderstood you, system. You are one of us, from Qidian.
[Of course, the role of this system is to provide consultation and guidance to the host, like a lighthouse in the dark night to guide the host forward!]
?
He slowly typed a big question mark on the public screen.
"System, do you have a name?"
[Yes, Host. Do you want to know?]
[No, I don't. I'm just telling you that from now on, your name will be 'Useless System'.]
System: ???
...
"In the end, it's still me who has to carry everything alone."
He looked up at the sky and sighed, then stepped onto the first of the nine paths, the one where the white mist had completely dispersed, revealing a wide road.
According to the Useless System, as long as he walked into a path, the simulation would begin. His soul would go to any node in history, become the person who had the highest compatibility with him in that era, and then experience a life, turning that possibility of fate into a power that he could hold in his own hands.
Without further ado, since the simulation could already begin, he would not wait any longer. The path that he had been unable to step on no matter how hard he tried before was now unobstructed.
He only felt an endless blackness envelop him. In his final consciousness, only the electronic synthesized voice of the Useless System was continuously popping up.
[Source of power detected, era beginning to anchor.]
[Anchoring successful, loading the script of fate.]
[Soul has arrived. Descending, Age of Gods, Britain.]
The darkness slowly faded, and consciousness began to return. He felt a coolness around him, as if he were in water. And at this time, a force was pushing him slowly forward.
[This is the most glorious era of this island.]
[But under the prelude to this glory, hides the sorrow of an era.]
[Because, the mystery that once enveloped the entire island, and even the entire world, is gradually fading. Even if the speed of mystery's decline on this island is far slower than in other places due to geographical reasons, the end of the Age of Gods is a matter of time.]
[But there are always people who will try to challenge the trend of the era, and even the world.]
[The White Dragon that devours light, one of the two kings of the Celts who rule this land, the White Dragon Vortigern, is unwilling to see the demise of the Age of Gods, and the people and things that have been deeply influenced by the Age of Gods will be destroyed because of it.]
[As a white dragon, he represents the anger and unwillingness of the British Age of Gods, and rebels against his own brother, the nominal ruler of the Celts, King Uther.]
[On this land where chivalry prevails, Vortigern, as a Celt, brought invading Anglo-Saxons to fight against his own compatriots. This is undoubtedly evil, a great rebellion.]
[Thus, the Celts joined Uther's camp one after another, raising their blades against the vile king.]
[But as the last counterattack of the Age of Gods, the vile king is powerful. Uther's army is in constant retreat. The people urgently need a new king, a king who can lead the Celts to defeat the foreign invaders, defeat the vile king, and bring a new era to Britain.]
[And you were born in such an era.]
[But! You were not born as a human, but as a fairy, appearing in the rivers of Britain.]
[Becoming a glorious water fairy.]
Glorious my ass!
Souya's face was one of despair, his heart filled with an undisguised pain.
My hands, my feet, my pillar that holds up the heavens! Gone, all gone!
