A Not So Evil God In Fate/Grand Order

Chapter 39 - New Servants I

I'm going to write Alaya as she even if it doesn't have gender, just for convenience's sake.

=============================

"What was the reason you brought me here for?" Seth asked unimpressed by Alaya's introduction.

"Straight to the point? Fine by me." Alaya said as she started floating slightly around Seth and that strange robed skeleton.

"I brought you here to make a deal, a deal that it will benefit both of us." You could find the glee in all the voices as she spoke about that.

"What kind of deal would I possibly want to do with you?" Seth looked straight at her. Since the moment he saw Nephthys he had been in a pretty bad mood so he hoped it was worth the unpleasant time.

Alaya put a hand on when her mouth should be and released a light chuckle, Seth raised an eyebrow at this. "Weren't you supposed to have no emotions whatsoever?" As far as he knew, Alaya should be just a will and nothing more.

"I used the records of various Heroic Spirits to make a personality so I could speak with you. Impressive, isn't it? Anyways, my deal is a very simple one. I make the world accept you with the condition that you become a Grand for me." Alaya proposed him like she was doing the greatest of favors.

"I refuse. First of all, you don't have the capabilities. Second of all, I'm already doing your job, wouldn't you have to do it for free if you could?" He sarcastically replied.

"I have my means. Also... 'I will go out of my way to allow the World to give you free rein' You thought that was what I was going to say?" Alaya's tone started mild but got darker at the end.

"How do you think Humanity survived until now? Did you think they survived because I'm stupid? There is no way I would set free a genocidal in this world without putting a leash on him first. The fact that the World wanted to end your existence when you summoned that Serpent is proof that you need my help!"

Seth's eyes narrowed at her words but chose not to correct her. "I don't need your help, I never did. With each passing day, I get more familiar with the system of this World. First, they were skills, then a Pseudo Noble Phantasm, the moment I can materialize my legends into proper Noble Phantasms is not far. Also, I may have been overconfident but I'm by no means an idiot. Apophis is depicted as 'The Serpent That Devours The World'. It was the only reason why it attacked us, it saw me and Apophis as a threat. If I avoid calling him again then the World won't do anything, all my other legends don't involve it. What's more, me being a 'genocide' is sure to gain a good opinion from Gaia with her hate of humans."

If Alaya had eyes then they would be wide open at this moment. "You...are dangerous..." With no more words, she extended her hand like a knife to Seth's c.h.e.s.t. However, before she even touched him, the skeleton grabbed her arm. The little balls of flame that replaced its eyes blazed with fury.

The skeleton opened its mouth and spoke something that even Alaya couldn't understand. Strangely enough, the meaning behind the words was understood. Word by word, it said "Don't. Touch. Him."

The hand that was grabbing Alaya's arm started to release a strange black substance that was turning her white arm into pure black and started expanding toward her torso. Coming to a swift decision, Alaya used her other arm to cut the "infected" one before vanishing and reappearing some steps away.

"You are crazy...letting that thing out won't bode well for you." Even if she was a consciousness of the real Alaya, she didn't want to risk getting contaminated by that strange thing.

"Won't bode well for me?" Seth allowed himself a mocking laugh. "I admit he is overprotective but I assure you that no real harm will come to me as long as he is here."

"Hypocrite! You are afraid of using his power but even so, you trust him with your life?!" Alaya snarled at him with dissatisfaction.

"I'm not afraid, it's just my trauma that doesn't allow me to use him to his full potential. He isn't at fault for what I became." At Seth's words, the skeleton released an ominous sound and with it, the world started breaking apart.

"You are crazy! Mark my words, should you use that thing against Humanity I will send everything I've got to destroy you!" Alaya threatened Seth one last time as the dream world kept collapsing.

"He is Humanity as Humanity is him. Besides, do you think you have the power to kill me? I can count with one hand the beings that can truly do it and I can guarantee you they will not lower themselves to assist you. It would be great for you if they didn't destroy you outright." Seth was not worried at all by Alaya's threat. Even though he wasn't immortal, there were only three ways to kill him and the whining consciousness in front of him didn't have access to either of those.

Alaya didn't say anything anymore and just disappeared together with the world around them. The robed skeleton also dissipated once it saw Seth didn't need him for now.

[Darkness will cover the Sun and the dead will rise to consume it]

Just as he was waking up from his dream, a monotonous and almost mechanical voice spoke through his mind.

'Honestly...give me a rest.' Seth thought with tiredness, he didn't finish one thing when another was knocking on his door.

Looking at the clock hanging on the white wall, he noticed it was already morning. What seemed to be just a few minutes for him in reality were hours.

Getting up he left the room and started walking through the hallway. It wasn't long before he met with Fujimaru and Mash who were going to the Command Room and as he had nothing to do he decided to accompany them.

"Today we will be able to summon more Servants so they can help us in this mission, isn't that great?" Fujimaru was excited at this prospect. To him, having more allies he could rely on was a great thing, especially if those allies were famous figures of the past.

"I think it is, Senpai. The more help we can get the better!" Mash shared Master's enthusiasm but Seth was sure she preferred for that help to come in male form.

"Aren't you happy too, Kuro-san?" Fujimaru asked him, hoping to know the other Master's opinion.

"I'm not. I have the feeling I will regret summoning one pretty soon." He said much to the confusion of the two teenagers.

"Why do you think that?" Mash, who didn't know the meaning of his words, asked.

"Just a hunch." Just as he said this, they caught sight of Da Vinci who was going to the Command Room as well.

"Oh, hello guys. Did you have enough rest?" She stopped walking and waved at them.

"Yes, we did. Thank you for asking, Da Vinci." Fujimaru replied with a smile that slowly turned awkward as she was suddenly in front of his face looking at him intently. "It's Da Vinci-chan, okay?"

She only left the poor guy go once he agreed to call her that way. "Now, follow me. I'm sure you are pretty excited to see which Servants you will summon this time."

They walked for a few minutes before they were finally able to see the door leading to the place where they were going to call for help from some Heroic Spirits.

Once they entered the room, they were met with the sight of Caster, Saber, Dr. Roman and some staff who were there to make sure everything was as stable as possible.

Hearing the automatic door sliding open, the two Servants and Doctor looked behind them. No one showed much of a reaction as they were expecting them, except Romani of course who didn't know how to act seeing Seth here however he recomposed himself pretty quickly as he needed to do his job.

"Good morning, it's good to see you here. Are you two ready to summon your Servants?" Romani tried to act as professional as possible but the occasional glances he sent Seth ruined it.

Caster wanted to make a comment saying something like 'Are you two dating or something?' but he knew it won't end well so he decided to not say it out loud.

"Yeah!" "Hmm" Both assented meaning they were ready. Dr. Roman spoke no more and decided to accompany them to the summoning circle.

"Do you want to go first?" Although the order didn't matter, he still asked the other Master as he already had Servants but Seth didn't.

"It's okay, you can go first. I'm in no hurry." He replied, Fujimaru just nodded and took the Saint Quartz that the Doctor gave him and put them into the slots that surrounded the summoning circle.

There was a moment of stillness before the circle started spinning as lighting was surrounding it. A strong white light shot upward for a few seconds before coming to a stop.

A figure they met in Orleans could be seen where the light was. Seeing who it was, Fujimaru suddenly started having some apprehension.

"Servant, Kiyohime. It is nice to meet you, my Master." Kiyohime said when suddenly she saw Seth and ran past Fujimaru toward him. "Ahhh! I knew it, we were destined to be together!"

The room fell into silence as Kiyohime jumped with her arms open waiting to be caught. However, the only thing she received was a chop on the neck before falling unconscious.

'They aren't even my Servants and I'm already having trouble.' He sighed at the situation. "Let's get this over with, I don't want to be here when she wakes up."

Just as he finished speaking, the summoning circle started spinning once again. Once the light faded, a woman with a giant cross made her introduction. "My name is Martha, just plain Martha...We will save the world without fail!" She said with seriousness before her face showed a small smile. Without any other words, she got off the circle and stood at the side of Fujimaru.

"Sa-Martha...It's good to see you here." Fujimaru was glad someone who helped them at least indirectly and was actually reliable had answered his call.

"Yes, It's a relief to be on the side of good after what happened." She simply nodded.

They stopped talking as the circle started moving again. When it stopped, almost everyone in the room tensed. "I am here at your request... Are you the Master who shall offer me your blood?" Vlad asked looking at Fujimaru.

"U-Um...I'm not certain about the blood part but I will do my best to accompany you as your Master!" Fujimaru responded making Berserker look at him deep in the eyes. "Very well, I shall see if you are worthy of being my vassal." He disappeared into shadows before reappearing beside a slightly tensed Fujimaru.

Saber readied her sword in case she needed to do something and Mash did the same with her shield but Seth signaled them not to do anything. If Vlad wanted to harm the youth then he would be the first to know and act upon it.

Vlad gave a nod of acknowledgment to Seth before closing his eyes and folding his arms waiting for the next Servant to be summoned.

It didn't take long for the next Servant to appear. However, when Saber saw him, her eyes widened. A black night with an equally black large metal rod stood there.

The moment Lancelot saw Artoria, the slit on his helmet lit up in red light. Just as he was preparing to howl in rage, black serpents made of fire coiled around him and restrained any further movements.

Cu whistled seeing this. "It seems you are not that liked, Holy Sword User." He commented making Artoria glare at him.

"Thank you for that." Da Vinci thanked Seth for avoiding a fight that will surely leave a mess everywhere.

"As soon as we finish this the better. Fujimaru, you better use a Command Spell on Lancelot to restrain him otherwise he will try to fight Saber all the time." Seth suggested the youngster and then walked toward a table where the rest of Saint Quartz remained. The day has just begun and he already wanted it to end.
