I'm in My Complete Form!

Li Shimin's ability to commit acts such as murdering his brother, forcing his father to abdicate, and then marrying his brother's wife, and still manage to secure his throne, was unimaginable in the later dynasties where Confucianism flourished. This was partly due to the influence of the customs and beliefs of the Hu people on the Chinese mainland at that time.

However, it was precisely he who started the Tang Dynasty's tradition of venerating Han Chinese bloodlines, forcibly establishing the Li family as the first clan of China, and also had various unpleasant conflicts with the eight great families of the time.

Humans alive today are those who have survived countless wars and atrocities in this cruel world.

For example, Fan Zhongyan's descendants include Fan Wencheng, a founding father of the Qing Dynasty and a direct descendant of Confucius, who is also living well in Taiwan. The previous generation of the Celestial Masters sect was also affected, leading to the current situation where the orthodoxy of the Celestial Masters is divided between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Those who claim to be descendants of Emperor Wu of Han are probably closer to Emperor Xian of Han.

Who can guarantee that their ancestors, while enjoying glory, never once compromised or stooped to lowliness? In ancient times, among the barbarians who shared the land with lions and tigers and competed for survival, those who didn't know how to be cowardly have all gone extinct.

Survival is competition, and reproduction is also competition. The one who survives to the end and wins may not be the best shooter, but they are definitely the best at surviving.

"You bastard! No one's life is a necessary sacrifice!" Shirou gritted his teeth angrily and strode towards the white-haired man.

"Wait! Senior, don't argue about this." The purple-haired girl quickly grabbed Shirou and advised him. She knew that although her senior was a good person, if he encountered someone he considered bad, he would definitely argue his case and not back down. Moreover, he had the kind of fiery temper that wouldn't hesitate to fight.

"Sakura, don't worry, I won't fight here." Shirou reassured the girl, patted her shoulder, and then walked forward to the white god, forehead to forehead, looking directly into his eyes.

The people who are alive today are mostly the product of repeated acts of despicable behavior and cowardice. They are the descendants of those who survived by sacrificing heroes and paying the price with the blood of enemies, even though many people cannot accept these facts. Even in the 21st century, there are still many people who want to claim kinship with dynasties before the Common Era.

That's probably because these things are necessary.

Baseness is the passport of the base, nobility is the epitaph of the noble.

It's true that people envy those intelligent people who wield power, are wealthy, and enjoy great success, but deep down, people often prefer tragic heroes.

Shirou looked at the white deity and said, "Indeed, you stand in a higher dimension, looking down upon the world, and probably know many truths that humanity has long sought but could not uncover. But for humanity, these unknown things are also necessary. Like religion, like faith, like unrealistic dreams."

"Is that so? But it's clearly a wrong choice, a false conjecture, so why would you still want to do it? I really can't understand it right now." The white god said, looking at Shirou.

"Ah, so I guess we still have to fight. Although you're in a much better situation than I imagined, you're no longer human, so the future of humanity can't be entrusted to you. In the end, it's too heavy a burden, something I can't bear alone!" Shirou said resolutely.

"Is that so? I think it's optional. Isn't it pointless to fight against yourself? I'm actually thinking about integrating all the power to better protect humanity," the white god said.

"Oh, right, Fou, little one, come here too. I need your help." Shirou in white beckoned to Fou, who had been hiding in the hood behind Sakura's clothes from the beginning.

"Fou ~ Fuu!!!" The little animal felt an invisible force pulling it into the air, frantically flapping its legs, but it couldn't break free. It was pulled by the invisible force to the side of the man in white robes.

"Fuu! Fou--wooo!!!" Fou screamed in a frenzy, its front paws baring as it lunged at Shirou's face. Once it touched him, it would bite and scratch wildly. Back in the day, it could even bully Merlin at will. What kind of guy dared to offend its Fou- chan-sama?!

At that moment, the white-haired man reached out first, grabbed the soft flesh of Fou's nape, and lifted her up.

"I'm hiring you with the highest possible compensation. Once everything is settled, I'll send you back to Chaldea," Shirou in white chuckled as he spoke to Fou, whom he was holding.

"Fuu?" At this moment, Fou also sensed that the white- Shirou meant no harm, so it stopped resisting and quieted down. After all, it could also feel the powerful energy contained in the white-robed man. Even if it reached its peak, it probably couldn't defeat this god who represented a certain concept.

"As expected, you're in a different time period than me." Shirou looked at Fou, then at the white god. The white man he encountered here was likely from a time period before the divine avatar he had seen.

"No, my situation is simply that my first encounter with you was after this time. At least my true form is connected to any time period." The white god shook his head and said, "Because, from a conceptual standpoint, this is what I am now. Time is just a condition. Time and space, also known as spacetime, are prerequisites for gods to create the world. Without these, humanity and the Counter Force would not exist."

Even Servant that have escaped the timeline, or those that have been transferred to alien planets or inner worlds, still have their reason for existence because of the timeline.

"Don't change the subject. You know what I mean, right? Since you still have feelings for Sakura, and since you're not a completely cold-blooded machine, then why do you want to erase everything?" Shirou looked at his other self and asked, puzzled.

If the white god is truly as the Counter Force claims, cold-blooded and ruthless, viewing everything as disposable objects, a machine capable of destroying and erasing anything for the sake of a better order, then there's no need to hesitate; that's the enemy that must be defeated.

However, the white-haired man's current demeanor was completely different from what the Counter Force had described. Rather, it was as if he saw an upgraded version of himself, and he seemed to be outdone in every way, which was truly unpleasant.

"After all, we're from the same family, so it's actually harder to understand each other. That's why you understood my thoughts from the beginning, so there's nothing more to say. Well then, goodbye. Since you have different ideas, then do your best. Sakura, seeing you doing well is better than anything else." The white-haired deity turned and nodded to the purple-haired girl.

"Ah, yes, goodbye, senpai," Sakura said, waving her hand.

The white deity nodded, then turned one hand over, palm facing upwards, and a transparent silver halo appeared in its palm, absorbing the remaining magic power in this world. Although the Black Mud had disappeared, according to the law of conservation of energy, the vanished magic power remained in another form.

At this moment, the white deity gathered all of this into the halo in his hand. The halo then slowly rotated, absorbing energy and beginning to shine. The more energy it absorbed, the more dazzling the light became.

After absorbing everything, the halo stopped spinning and slowly rose into the sky, like a balloon released from its grasp, gradually drifting higher into the heavens. The radiance seemed to carry the souls of the dead throughout the town.

It was a dazzling, colorful aurora, with a bright ball of light above it, like a Little Sun.

"The door is open for you; we await your arrival at any time."

The white deity waved his hand, uttered those words, and entered the white portal, disappearing from sight.

"We look forward to your arrival, if you can truly find a better path."

"Ah, just you wait," Shirou said, feeling disappointed.

Unbeknownst to anyone, at that very moment, in another place, a dignified blonde girl was also looking up at the white sun amidst the aurora borealis in the sky.

The girl said, "I've found you!"

Chapter 410 I am the complete form!

The dazzling white halo, like a Little Sun, hung high in the sky, seemingly transcending the boundaries of the world. What Shirou didn't know at that moment was that this halo was also beginning to appear in other worlds.

On a vast, boundless grassland, the blonde, dignified girl gazed at the white halo and quickly made a decision.

"Let's go, East Starlion. We must find him this time." The blonde girl patted the silver-white horse beside her, jumped onto its back, and whispered the order.

Suddenly, the silver-white steed neighed, its long and powerful hooves clattering as it carried the girl, transforming into a streak of silver lightning.

Inside the new room prepared for Sakura, Shirou and the purple-haired girl, who had already settled everything for the girl, were sitting on tatami mats around an oval table, leisurely drinking tea.

The bespectacled TV presenter maintained a blank expression as he reported the latest news.

"A white celestial body, resembling a miniature white sun, recently appeared in the sky. The Academy of Sciences is investigating it, and this could very well be another new discovery in human astronomy. Now, please see the next news item."

"The weather has turned cooler recently, and cold air will be arriving in the next few days. Please take care to keep warm and prevent catching a cold..."

The news reports were about everyday trivialities, and no one really mentioned the town that was razed to the ground overnight.

"Senior, do you really have to go and duel?" Sakura couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm." Shirou was silent for a moment, then nodded. He didn't want to deceive the girl.

"Isn't there any other way? Why do we have to kill each other?" Sakura looked at the boy with great concern and asked again.

"No, this is something we have to do. The white guy himself admits that if we let him continue to act recklessly, problems will inevitably arise sooner or later. And with his power, if he makes a mistake, it could be devastating. So I have to be careful and resolve everything," Shirou said.

"Are justice and the world really that important? You have important family members now, don't you? If you just talk to the other senior properly, maybe you can protect everyone. Isn't that enough?" Sakura looked directly into the boy's eyes and said very seriously.

"You know me best, don't you, Sakura?" Shirou said with a light laugh, looking at the girl.

"Senior... that answer is so cunning!" Tears welled up in Sakura's eyes as she said, "Senior is always like this, running off on your own and getting injured all over for others. Can't you stop making people worry about you?"

"I'm sorry, Sakura, but I promised you I would protect you," Shirou said sincerely.

This halo wasn't unique to this world. Every world created by a white deity displayed this white sun at this moment, though only special beings could perceive this anomaly.

In the world where Shirou originally lived, Komachi, who was staying at home, was chatting with her friends in a group chat on her phone.

Komachi asked, "What do you all think of this white sun?"

Yukino Yukinoshita said, "The light phenomenon caused by celestial motion was reported in the news before, wasn't it?"

"But this light has lasted for several days! Even if it were a mirage, it should have caused a sensation, but now everyone seems to have gotten used to it and is acting like they didn't see it!"

Komachi typed with a puzzled look on her face, and asked again, "We can see it with our eyes, but the instruments can't. Doesn't everyone find that strange?"

Yuihama joined the conversation with a relieved expression, saying, "I knew it! Everyone thinks so too! It's such a strange thing, isn't it? Didn't the experts on TV say that even with the highest magnification telescopes we have right now, we can't reach that celestial body? But it didn't cause a stir at all! It was like the reaction to saying there's a meteor shower tonight—a completely ordinary reaction!"

Asuna commented, "Yeah, but it's not just in Japan now, it's overseas too. Everyone seems completely uninterested in this phenomenon."

Komachi typed quickly on her phone, replying, "My dad also said that compared to the stars in the sky or the universe, humans should focus on what's under their feet."

"Yeah, when I mentioned this to my friends, they thought I said something weird and asked if I was obsessed with the supernatural or something," Yuihama said, feeling the same way.

Yukino Yukinoshita spoke up, saying, "But then again, the most strange thing is that everyone is completely uninterested in this planet."

Asuna and said, "So it really happened somewhere we don't know about. What happened?"

"If we're talking about what's happened recently, there's only one thing!" Komachi said.

"Shirou has left!" Yukino Yukinoshita and Asuna exclaimed at the same time.

Komachi frantically typed, "Aaaaaah, what happened?! Anyone, please tell us!"

"That's a door," said one of the sluggish angels, an expert in this field, though from a different department.

"Eh? Door?" Komachi quickly replied, then continued to ask.

"Well, I shouldn't have said this, but since we're comrades who fought side by side to save the world, I'll tell you all this," Gabriel said in her apartment, arms crossed, looking quite pleased with herself, before typing a reply.

"Thank you! Gabriel- chan~! Please tell us the truth quickly! Even though it's in the game world," Komachi muttered softly.

"That sun, it's probably a door. I felt it from above, like the Gate of Heaven where God resides," Gabriel explained to everyone.

"Huh? The Gate of Heaven? If you go inside, you'll go to Heaven?" Komachi asked in astonishment.

Gabriel continued, "Of course, that door isn't the Gate of Heaven, but it's probably very close. It's quite possible that there are gods from other religions inside."

"I see, I see..." Komachi nodded repeatedly.

"..." Yukino Yukinoshita sent out a long string of dots.

"What's wrong, Yukino- nee?" Komachi asked.

"No, gods and all that, it really defies common sense," Yukino Yukinoshita said.

There seemed to be the sound of horses' hooves pounding the ground outside the door, followed by a ding-dong as the doorbell rang.

"I'll go get it," Artoria said, who was also at home.

"Yes, thank you, Ria- neechan." Komachi was busy chatting, so she asked her older sister for help.

"May I ask who this is?" Artoria opened the door and asked directly. When she saw the person's appearance clearly, the girl's golden pupils narrowed and shrank.

The two in the other world had already left the house, with the purple-haired girl following behind, looking at the boy with reluctance.

"Then I'll set off." Shirou gazed at the white sun in the sky, then turned to look at the purple-haired girl and said softly.

"..." Sakura hesitated, then clenched her fists.

"Shirou! Wait a moment!" A shout came from behind.

A silver-white shadow rushed over at lightning speed, and the knight sitting on it pulled on the reins, stopping the horse.

Upon closer inspection, the blonde girl riding on top wore silver armor, a blue battle skirt, and carried a black and a white holy sword on either side...

"Artoria!!!" Shirou looked up, saw the newcomer's face clearly, and exclaimed in shock.

"Miss Saber?" Sakura exclaimed in surprise.

The stern-faced blonde girl stared directly at Shirou and said solemnly, "No! Not Artoria, but Artoria)!!!"

An eerie silence fell over the scene.

"Um... anyway, you're the Artoria I know, right?" Shirou scratched his cheek, asking helplessly. This was even more baffling than Nero Venus's situation. Could it be due to the influence of that so-called Mysterious X lady?

"Hmm, you could say that." The blonde girl nodded.

"Anyway... well, it's been a long time, Artoria," Shirou said with a helpless smile.

"Really, you left without a word. Of course I had to shake off everyone else and come looking for you!" Artoria suddenly said coldly.

"Huh? What's this?" Shirou looked at the blonde, blue-eyed girl with a puzzled expression. For a moment, he thought he had seen the face of Ria Alter, who was staying at his house. But upon closer inspection, the colors were different. Alter's hair was a pale blonde with white undertones, her eyes were gold, and her demeanor was much more domineering.

But the girl before him was indeed blonde and blue-eyed; she was the knight girl he remembered who had participated in the Holy Grail War with him.

"This is on behalf of another me, she gave me her power, and now I also represent Alter," Artoria said.

"I see. You've been to the world I live in, haven't you?" Shirou asked, puzzled.

"Yes, Shirou, this is also a necessary pre-battle preparation," Artoria said with a serious face.

"Preparations for battle?" Shirou asked.

"Shirou, forgive my bluntness, but in your current state, there's absolutely no way you can defeat your god-like self," Artoria said calmly.

"I understand that to some extent, but there are some things that, even if we don't want to, someone still has to do them," Shirou nodded and said.

Shirou knew perfectly well that he had no chance of winning if he faced the white god alone. After seeing the god, he experienced firsthand the vast difference in their abilities; the god was essentially his perfect self.

Compared to myself, the gods possess a stronger physique, a better state of being, and a more comprehensive understanding of reason, not to mention the immense magical power they possess as conceptual gods capable of suppressing the Black Holy Grail.

"But even so, I still have to fight. The white guy didn't deny the worst-case scenario," Shirou said.

Artoria said, "To ascertain the gods' thoughts, I, who emerged from the world of Avalon, began traveling through various worlds to investigate the actions of the White God and to contact the people who were rescued and relocated by the White God. At the same time, I also sought out different versions of myself, merging with them to restore my own power."
