A Not So Evil God In Fate/Grand Order

'Ama...you...' To think that after all that happened, after so many years, she still felt the same way as before...it was something he didn't expect.

Just this little detail changed things for him. One of the biggest reasons he didn't want to meet Amaterasu right now was because he thought she would be angry, which she probably was despite her love for him.

It wasn't something as simple as throwing a tantrum. The Sun Deity was one of the most powerful Goddesses out there. If she hated him for what he did, she would not only try to destroy him but also the World, meaning that his mission would end up in failure.

It was also the reason why he wanted to remain under the radar and not be found by her. To some, it may just be a little detail, but to him, it meant everything.

Now, he won't run away anymore. If Amaterasu finds him, then so be it. He won't actively look for her, though. The most likely scenario when they meet is a fight that would last a long time, and time was something he didn't have.

To represent this change, one of the thickest chains holding the door broke. This chain was a special one. It didn't make Seth's Skills evolve, increased his Divinity, made the wielding of Authorities easier, or unlocked a new Noble Phantasm. Instead, it allowed to do something that made those things pale in comparison, but what exactly was unknown, even to him.

Back to reality, Seth separated his lips from the forehead of a frozen Tamamo Cat. "If you want to regain a part of your sanity without the side effects of becoming a terrifying creature, just tell me, okay?"

It may seem stupid, but he was extremely grateful to Berserker. Even if it was not intentional and just happened by accident, it was a fact that it was thanks to her that he could find out that Amaterasu still had feelings for him. That in itself was something worth repaying in his book.

Tamamo Cat just nodded while looking blankly ahead, not knowing what else to do. The old lady just watched this with a smile on her face, something shared by Boudica, while EMIYA was thinking, 'I didn't see anything' repeatedly inside his mind. It will be his excuse in case a certain King of Knights ask anything.

Seth didn't say anymore and left. It was time to decide who will be going with him to Okeanos. He obviously won't take Jeanne and Jalter with him as he already did so in Rome.

The Egyptian God wanted to put his Servants in as many diverse situations as possible, so they can overcome them and get stronger. In these Singularities, there will be enemies, be it man or beast, that will pose them a threat, meaning that every Servant of his had to prepare for whatever the enemy throws at them.

Take the two Saint as an example. Despite being Servants, they had trouble fighting against a Chimera. A Heroic Spirit of old that lived when all types of monsters roamed around could take one relatively easy. Of course, there was the option of brute-forcing it with their Saint Graph at maximum capacity like it is now, but that is something he doesn't want to see. Otherwise, he would just take all his Servants with him to a Singularity and win with numbers.

The options available now were Siegfried, Sanson, Stheno, and Altera. He talked with Boudica some days ago, and she told him that she preferred not to head to 'war' if it was possible. After her death, she began doubting if fighting was the right to do. It's not like she regretted it, but that maybe, just maybe there was another way to do things. Besides, she was more suited to defend than to attack. In essence, she was a shield. Needless to say, if her Master needed her to fight, she would do so without hesitation.

Seth, understanding how she was feeling, told her not to worry. Although not precisely the same, he went through something similar. Forcing someone that wasn't ready to fight would just complicate things and make them worse. There was no need to do that.

Returning to analyze the remaining options, Seth immediately discarded Siegfried. The possibility wasn't zero, but finding dragons in the ocean was something uncommon. Saber was an excellent knight, but his real worth lied in his ability to fight dragons. The sea was a place for maritime beasts such as Krakens, Leviathans, and other giant fishes and serpents. He wouldn't have the capability to shine as much there.

Next was Stheno. Although she was useless for practically anything, there was something she was good at, and that was making trouble.

If he didn't keep an eye on her, she would most likely say more than she had to. He would take her to Okeanos, and in the process, make her useful, even if only a bit. She could always work as a bait, so that was something.

The next one would be Sanson. The Executioner was the one who made Seth doubt the most. On the one hand, his uses in the sea were almost zero, and on the other hand, his knowledge of medicine could prove to be useful. His own on that subject was not that high.

Until now, every time Fujimaru got sick, Romani would send some medicines when they could set up a camp on a Leyline. However, at sea, that was not going to be possible anymore. Sanson's abilities would undoubtedly come in handy at that point.

This problem wouldn't need to be discussed by him if he had access to one of the Atet, be it Mesektet or Mandjet. Ra's Solar Barge had in-built protection against all types of curses or illnesses, and it was a flying boat, so they would be able to observe things with more detail. [1]

After thinking things for a bit more, he decided to bring Assassin with him. It wouldn't hurt to be cautious. Besides, the little kid had a Skill against Evil-alignment beings. He found that useful considering most of their enemies up until now have had that alignment.

Finally, Altera. Well, that was a no-brainer. The Scourge of God was the mightiest of his Servants when it came to strength, and the one he liked the most.

She didn't have a specialty like Siegfried but was pure, raw power. One thing to note, too, was that he had been researching Altera's sword, Photon Ray. The weapon itself was a computer/terminal. If he could find a way to gain access to it, in other words, hacking, he will be able to upgrade it to attain powers that would make the current sword look like a toy.

Altera was, without a doubt, the best option. She automatically had a spot on the team when he decided who to bring to Okeanos.

'Okeanos...I hope I find that Ark. It will be one of the best tools I can get my hands on for what is to come.'

──────────────────────────────

Finally, the day to go to Okeanos has arrived. The two Masters and their Servants who were going to Rayshift were in the Command Room. The staff, including Romani and Da Vinci, were also there.

Fujimaru decided to go with Zhuge Liang, who was like his mentor at this point, Mash as always, and EMIYA. He wanted to take more Servants with him to avoid something like what happened in Rome, but El-Melloi II advised against that. For people with subpar Magical Circuits like them, it was best to go for it slowly.

Caster was very clear with him when they talked before. The thing he did about using three Berserker Servants was suicidal. He made sure to tell his Master that he was fortunate that they didn't take as much Magical Energy as they needed, or he would have ended up dead.

When it came to sustaining a Servant, Berserkers were the ones with the highest cost to maintain. He had personally experienced that in the flesh with Lancelot. He was the most insane out of all of them, so he couldn't precisely control how much Magical Energy he took.

To add to that, he had Cu Chulainn, Mash, and Martha with him too. Again, he was lucky that Casters didn't cost much in his reserves, and Mash was alive, so she could choose to relay on her own to fight. That left Rider, who even though she was not a Berserker, her "Maintenance" was not low.

In Zhuge Liang's opinion, Fujimaru could've done a better job with fewer Servants, but providing them with more Magical Energy.

In the end, if you have to share a cake with more people, your hunger won't be satiated as easy.

In Seth's side, he had Altera, Sanson, and Stheno, who didn't want to be here. The moment she heard she was going to go to the next Singularity, she did everything in her hands to hide. Sadly for her, she was quickly found.

She pleaded not to go, to no avail. The Goddess even tried to trade places with Jeanne and Jalter, and despite Avenger wanted to go, same as Ruler, they ultimately decided to trust in their Master's decision.

With not more tricks up her sleeve, she tried to blackmail him in telling others his identity. It was also the reason why she now was gagged, something everyone chose to ignore.

"So, are you ready to depart?" Romani asked them, his tone a little less joking than usual. He couldn't take the future of Humanity lightly, after all.

"Yes. Have you secured safe coordinates, Doctor? It would be dangerous if we landed in the middle of the ocean. I don't know how to swim, and neither does Senpai." Shielder asked, just to be sure.

"Don't worry about it, Mash. I have set up the coordinates to be in one of the islands." Romani reassured her with a smile. For once, he had taken his job seriously to ensure their safety. He learned his lesson after the events in France.

Just then, the little white creature appeared and jumped on top of Fujimaru's shoulders. There was a brief moment where it exchanged glances with Seth, but it didn't escalate. They both had to keep appearances.

"So, you are also coming, Fou?" Fujimaru asked, earning a lick on his cheek from it. "I guess that's a yes." He smiled as he c.a.r.e.s.sed it.

It would go, now more than anything, especially when he had to look out for any malicious thing Seth did to them.

"Good luck out there, and remember to tell us if you need any help. My universal genius can make anything, even a boat to sail through the most dangerous of waves!" Da Vinci's narcissism was the only thing left before departing, and now they had it.

"Thanks, Da Vinci. We are—" "It's Da Vinci-chan!" "Da Vinci-chan. We are going," Fujimaru quickly corrected himself less he incurred the wrath of this woman, eh...man? Man-woman?

With nothing more to say, they each entered their respective coffins. It was time for another Singularity, and hopefully, another victory to their side.
