Chapter 225: The Gathering of the Cuckolded.
"This situation is truly not good for contestant Eikou..."
El-Melloi II frowned with concern.
"Setting aside the heroes of the Argonauts for now, Jason's Noble Phantasm itself isn't particularly high-grade. But he used his Noble Phantasm before the King of Knights, seizing the initiative in secret. Could he possibly sweep away the declining situation and defeat the opponent in one blow?"
"Wait— the Argonauts crew he summoned seems to be..."
Within the glowing light of the Noble Phantasm, two figures wearing white garments, with blond hair and blue eyes, slowly revealed their true forms.
They were...
"The Gemini twins of Greece, also members of the Argonauts — Castor and Pollux!"
"Truly unexpected, our contestant Jason even had such a hidden trump card. With the twins Castor and Pollux joining the great hero Heracles — can Eikou's side withstand such power?"
"Haha, Mochizuki Eikou, is it? Let me show you the unbreakable unity of the Argonauts crew!"
Young Master Jason continued, his voice full of arrogance.
Hearing him speak, commentator El-Melloi II skillfully lit a cigarette.
"Thank heavens, you guys are finally starting to look like an actual match. I don't hate this feeling of using every trick to defeat the enemy — at least it's better than that rom-com style from earlier… uh…"
Right after that, he suddenly froze.
"Wait… why did the little sister in the Gemini pair, Pollux, suddenly freeze up the moment she looked at Eikou?"
"..."
"Why did she suddenly blush, why did pink hearts suddenly appear in her eyes? Could it be… could it be that she instantly…"
"No way…"
"..."
Just like that for a moment, seeing the sudden turn of events on the battlefield, El-Melloi almost couldn't endure it anymore.
"No, Pollux of the Gemini twin! You were clearly summoned by Jason, so why are you abandoning your brother and your Master to immediately defect to Eikou's side?! Damn it, I don't want to see you people fall in love anymore! Your brother is already crying his eyes out!"
Tristan: "Sasuga my Idol, Sir Eikou, you have never disappointed me! Full marks!"
"Can you please stop already?! What kind of expectations are you placing on that guy?!"
[You didn't even have time to react before Pollux was already subdued by you.]
[Without any hesitation, Pollux stood on your side.]
[Perhaps because you once knew each other in the real world, she was very quickly conquered by you— even 'taken away' entirely...]
[Argonauts crew count decreased by one, resulting in a considerable weakening of effectiveness.]
[The Argonauts crew at this moment consists only of Jason, Heracles, and the older brother Castor who was just summoned.]
"No, my little sister!!!"
Castor cried out, looking at Pollux standing beside Eikou.
"Why did you fall for a man like that! Why are you abandoning me again and going away!!!!"
Captain Jason couldn't hold back, pointed at Castor and burst out laughing: "Gwahahaha, how pitiful! You got cuckolded by the same guy twice!"
"You're in no position to say that to me!"
Castor roared.
"This is absolutely disgraceful! Where is that unbreakable unity?! This is nothing but a bunch of cuckolded losers arguing with each other! And you still dare call this 'The Radiant Ship That Tears the Heavens'? Rename it to 'The Green Ship That Makes the Cuckolded Wail' instead!"
El-Melloi II in the commentary room continued firing verbal attacks relentlessly.
At last, Jason — who finally sensed the severity of the situation — was forced to retract his lofty arrogance and seriously frown in contemplation.
"Damn it, I'm being pushed this far… Could it really be that I can only rely on the invincible Heracles…"
He gritted his teeth.
"What a joke, I absolutely refuse to lose, there must still be some way..."
"Oh? Jason, finally forced into a disadvantage, is starting to think seriously now, is he?"
Merlin said with a smile. "Now things are getting interesting. Because he's a hero whose strategic mind can only truly shine in adversity and dead-ends. He definitely won't obediently accept defeat."
"That's what you're saying..."
El-Melloi II looked at Merlin thoughtfully.
For Jason to reverse the situation under these circumstances was absolutely not simple.
Would that hot-headed brain of his really come up with some brilliant tactic?
El-Melloi II decided to keep his mouth shut and obediently watch what Jason planned to do next.
"..."
"..."
"Ah, I've got it!"
Jason suddenly thought of something, his eyes widening.
Everyone was startled. They didn't expect him to actually come up with something?
"Hey, you there, get over here!"
Jason dashed forward without hesitation, grabbed Roland — the Mad Knight who might as well have been a robot standing there — and dragged him over.
"Feel honored! I hereby appoint you an honorary crew member of the Argonauts! From now on, you are part of this ship! This is an honor your ancestors wouldn't touch even if they crawled out of their graves, gwahahaha!"
Jason shouted into Roland's face.
"So the great idea you came up with was to drag random unrelated people into your crew, stuff the numbers, and forcibly increase your Noble Phantasm strength..."
El-Melloi II was at a loss for words.
"Completely wrong..."
Jason burst out laughing — or rather: he simply bared his teeth.
"If my Noble Phantasm can forcibly summon those connected to the Argonauts — Greek heroes willing to board my ship — then from another point of view, can't I also exploit this trait to summon unrelated Servants, as long as they share something in common with the ship, acknowledge our position, and agree to support us?!"
"Could it be that..."
As expected of El-Melloi II — a man of outstanding intellect. Jason had not even finished speaking when he already grasped the terrifying intention behind the plan.
Just thinking about what Jason was about to do made the hand holding his cigarette tremble slightly.
"You understand, right. Every member currently present on my ship, including myself..."
Jason showed a wolf-like grin, revealing the triumphant expression of someone whose calculations were complete.
"All of us are genuine cuckolded!"
"!"
Everyone immediately straightened their posture upon hearing that, each person showing deeply sympathetic eyes.
Jason swung his arm with force and spoke with unprecedented seriousness:
"Let's do it again, Servants. If you can accept the identity of a cuckolded husband, then step onto this ship and lend me your strength!"
[At this moment, you sense an extremely powerful surge of magical energy.]
[The power of Jason's Noble Phantasm is expanding without limit, Servants appearing behind him like a rising tide.]
[Fionn mac Cumhaill, Tristan, Roland, Director Keyneth...]
"..."
Within just a few seconds, Eikou's face was already covered in cold sweat.
Holy shit, that's too many cuckolded!
Even Tristan too? He likes other people's wives that much, yet in the end he himself is also cuckolded?!
Heavens...
Everyone collectively drew in a cold breath, unable to believe the scene before them.
This was the entire collection of cuckolded on the Throne of Heroes, fully gathered here!
