A Not So Evil God In Fate/Grand Order

If Thutmose, who was someone that he, a person of Evil, taught will use the power of Light, then he will do it as well. For the first time since he obtained it, he would make use of the Skill his student failed to steal.

'My Goddess...lend me your strength.' Similar to what happened with Mose before, a pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping him. In normal situations, Light would fight the Darkness, but not this time.

Now, this will be a fight between two similar forces in origin, but different in nature. The calm against the reckless. Two beings controlling the Sun would face off through their "Champions."

Thutmose did not want to be outdone, so he created a similar pillar that began to move in Seth's direction as soon as he finished forming it. It didn't take long for them to impact each other like two stags fighting for supremacy. Neither of the two wanted to give in to the other. The reason for that, only they knew.

The surroundings already started being affected by their clash. The ocean that had turned tranquil after dispersing what Seth did became berserk again. Sparks of yellowish-white lightning flew in every direction with incredible might. Raging winds thrashed unimpeded, hindering even the sea monsters from getting close. The battlefield had become a zone more chaotic than it was before.

The dark-skinned man knew—No. He sensed that his teacher was going through some change, similar to how he did. Like a caterpillar wrapping itself in a cocoon before transforming into a butterfly, Seth was going to emerge stronger than the last time. Of that, he was sure.

Nothing good would come from letting his teacher success on that. That's why he increased the intensity of their clash, to try and disrupt whatever it was happening.

Slowly but surely, both pillars started increasing in size, and with it, the heat they were producing. Not even Poseidon's waters were safe from the burning powers of the Sun.

Eventually, it got to a point where their clash was making their pillars unstable. Thutmose believed that he was succeeding in his original plan. How wrong he was...

From inside the column of light, Archer saw a shadow looming over him before he received a kick in his c.h.e.s.t, sending him crashing down into the ocean. He was quick to recover and return to the skies, though. It was apparent to see the new armor has increased his durability.

Thutmose's eyes inside his helmet widened for a second. The person in front of him did not look like the one he knew. "What is with that form? I have never seen you like that."

"Why are you so surprised? This appearance is my real one. What you know is nothing more than an altered version of me." Seth looked the same as he did in the final moments of his battle against Altera. His black hair had turned black, his white skin had become browner, and the black markings had receded to the point they were barely visible. His spear was not in his possession anymore as it would only hinder him.

However, different from the last time, his figure now possessed some sort of radiance. That was thanks to the use of the Affection Of The Goddess Skill. The contrast between Seth's usual self and the light he was emitting threw Thutmose off slightly.

"You have changed...or more like I never knew you fully, but it does not matter. I am here to erase you from existence, and by doing that, release you from your suffering. If it is the old you, or the new you, it will not make a difference." Archer pointed his open palm at him after his declaration. From it, an energy beam, boosted by the stolen Kingslayer Skill, emerged.

"I already told you. If you want something, you have to have the power to back it up." Seth made the same motion as Archer, but instead of using a palm, he used a finger. Similar to what Mose did, a beam shot from his finger to meet the incoming assault.

At a glance, Seth's attack seemed weaker in comparison. Were one to bet on the winner, they would surely pick Thutmose. The reality, though, would prove their choice to be incorrect.

When the two beams collided, the Egyptian God's continued unimpeded, much to Archer's surprise. Noticing the incoming danger, Mose stopped his attack and got out of the way. He watched as it continued into the distance, eventually hitting a deserted island. If he expected the result to end there, he was in for a disappointment. The moment his attack touched solid ground, an explosion in the form of a dome occurred, obliterating everything in a couple of kilometers.

The shockwave soon reached their position. The Pharaoh had to exert an extra effort to keep his balance, but that was not the problem. The problem was that he did not expect the difference to be this big. Both used just casual attacks, of that he was sure. However, the one he used was not a match to the one his teacher did.

Even when he was using the armor that Lord Horus gave him, his odds of winning against his teacher using just one Skill were meager. 'Should I use that...? No. It is not the time yet. Besides, I would need someone else to use it for me.'

"Do you think you have the leisure to be lost in thought? Don't tell me you got discouraged just by a little exchange?" He had been avoiding using some of his Authorities to get stronger. If this was enough to corner his student, then he might as well give up when he starts utilizing them.

"No, I did not. There is still much I can do. My wait was not, and will not be for nothing." If his teacher evolved, then he will do so too. He first started by activating Ruler Of The Flourishing Kingdom (Pharaoh) EX, a Skill that symbolized how Egypt went through its more prospering era with him on the throne. It allowed him to make something belonging to him reach their ultimate state of being, which included his body. The natural use of this would be to make it overcome the limits imposed on his vessel.

Next, he activated Undefeatable Conqueror (Lightning) EX. This Skill granted him a tremendous bonus to his Parameters as long as he was in a foreign land.

Lastly, he activated Revolutionary Mind A+. This one worked a bit differently than something as simple as increasing one's strength. It came from the fact he imposed many innovative reforms and changed the way people built, as well as his out of the norm tactics. The effects were not that hard to understand. As long as the user is determined to accomplish something that other people might think impossible or if that will bring a change to the future of the world, then Destiny will work in their favor. Additionally, their Luck will go up.

'This should be enough as far as Skills go. I will have to start setting up my Noble Phantasms as secretly as possible now.' He had others he could use, but those required specific conditions, which he did not meet for the moment. There was only one Skill left Archer could use, but he was reserving it as a trump card.

Seth could feel how his student's momentum increased second by second. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was becoming someone he should not underestimate.

"Allow me to demonstrate to you. The proof of Humanity's evolution that is. You, who is a God that must not belong to this land any longer, will hear our cry for freedom." Thutmose said something that Seth didn't understand at first. That was until he felt the world around him distorting. He had experienced this with EMIYA. Yes, a Reality Marble.

The ocean soon disappeared, becoming something of the past. In its place, an endless meadow now covered the whole battlefield. As for them, they were standing on a mound with ruins all around them. Just by being there, you would be able to tell this place must have seen a lot of history. There was not a single cloud in the sky; nothing that could make this place seem like a land without hope.

"Welcome, Teacher. To my Noble Phantasm, Armageddon: Megiddo. Here, you can forget your common sense. This land is one where the impossible becomes possible. The conquest I consider to be my greatest in life, and the one who will be my greatest in death. I want both to be in the same place." The way Thutmose carried himself before was that of a King, coupled with that of a student. Now, however, he was a Warrior-King. As such, he would act with confidence and justified arrogance. If you do not have faith in yourself, God can not be beaten!

Seth didn't reply. There was no need to do so. Mose had resolved himself to fight with everything at his disposal, so he should respond with actions and not with words. Besides, he had the bizarre feeling Amaterasu was urging him to beat the crap out of Archer. The Skill DID say communication was possible. He guessed this was what that meant.

'Calm down, woman. Can't you see I am in the middle of something?' Her quarrelsome tendencies were sometimes a pain in the a.s.s to deal with, no matter the time of the day.

His thoughts caused a momentary burning feeling throughout his body that made him really uncomfortable, to say the least. The Fox Goddess would not let anything slide, as always.

While he was in the middle of trying to make her not interfere, Archer decided to attack. This time, he went for a more physical approach. With a speed that would make the one he displayed before a joke, the Pharaoh appeared beside Seth with his fist ready to make contact. And contact it did. However, it did not impact on his face like he originally planned. Instead, an open hand met his punch.

The Egyptian God might have seemed distracted to the n.a.k.e.d eye, but he never stopped paying attention to his student's movements, not even once. That said, Archer's speed was something else. Also, his punch had left Seth's arm trembling slightly.

Seeing as his attack failed, Archer quickly retreated. He was not discouraged, though. Him being able to block his blow was within his expectations. Not to mention he was just testing the waters.

Now it was time for Seth to take the initiative. The red-haired man charged at Mose at incredible speeds. Similar to his student, he went for a punch in the face. What happened next certainly surprised him for the worse.

The moment he was about to succeed, Archer managed to hit him first without any prior warning. Seth shot back like a cannonball, crashing onto the wall of one of the buildings. Strangely, it didn't break, just suffered some minor cracks.

"I told you, didn't I? You can forget your common sense. This place is the apex of my life. Here, all my works congregate. That includes my other Noble Phantasms. As long as we are here, I can use them without the need to call their True Name." There was no meaning in keeping it hidden since he had most likely figured it out already.

That did not mean he would let him rest, though. As soon as he finished speaking, he extended his wings. From them, what Seth had theorized to be deployable objects to substitute his bow detached themselves before flying in his direction and bombarding him with lasers coming out of their tip.

Same as before, the landscape remained unharmed, but a cloud of dust was forming and growing in size with each shot from those things. The point of Mose's Reality Marble's "indestructible" capabilities was to maintain the space stable.

His increase in strength naturally affected his flying gadgets as well, so his teacher must be suffering quite the pain right now. He was no sadist, but he had to admit a little revenge for everything he went through as a kid did not feel bad at all.

Sadly for him, he was about to suffer that again. Just as he was focused on keeping his assault on Seth, Archer received a side kick to his ribs. Seth had returned him the favor of the punch earlier by sending him flying.

"Playtime is over, Mose. Your tricks have annoyed me too much. And that comes from the God of Trickery himself." Now, Seth was going to use every Authority. If the Pharaoh wanted to have a chance, then he would have to start using his brain instead of muscle.
