DxD: I know…I'm not the real one,just a cheap copy. but...I'd win-Chapter 51 - 50:Succeeding in convincing Emiya Archer

"It is an honor for me and the royal family to welcome a hero such as yourself."

Once he arrived in the audience hall, Sanguinius was warmly welcomed by a young blond man.

He had facial features similar to Iris, and he emanated an aura of dignity and authority.

Certainly, his presence didn't really shock or impress him.

However, Sanguinius was just pleasantly surprised about such a person in a universe like Konosuba.

'Did you hear that, Faker? "Hero"'

[The divine seat, Faker clenches his fists in frustration at the situation]

[The divine seat, Faker declares that the prince's act and words are just political]

Sanguinius wasn't surprised by Faker's refusal to accept the obvious truth before him.

But then again, this man had literally confronted a past version of himself in an ideological battle.

Even if he killed his past version to support or prove his point, he wasn't going to die as he desired.

Yet, he had busted his own balls in the past because of his future decisions.

A real stubborn ass.

"Thank you, Your Highness, you honor me too much," he said politely before taking a designated chair and starting a formal discussion full of ethics.

The demon king was awakened for a moment during the conversation between the two men, but he was immediately knocked out by a kick to the head.

A somewhat brutal act, especially if you know about the existence of the Pheromones skill or intermediate Sleep magic.

Unfortunately for the fallen demon, there are no laws for demon protection, despite the existence of those for animals.

Faker's messages again showed his position regarding Sanguinius's vision of the world and heroes.

But the latter's response didn't relieve the altruistic hero.

'Stop complaining, Faker, I've already won and you know it'

"I would sincerely like to organize an audience with the king, but... he's not present in the capital."

As a precaution, Sanguinius verified the prince's words with the Divination skill.

The man had indeed not lied.

The king isn't there.

"So you're unable to organize a complete award ceremony?"

The silence and dark look from Jatice confirmed the bad news.

"No problem, I'll settle 'temporarily' for a public execution of the demon king by my hands and an official document declaring me a national hero of the kingdom."

He could have asked for a continental-level hero title, but the prince isn't capable of providing it to him.

His authority is too limited.

"Your current demands are possible. When would you like the public execution of this monster?"

After a moment of reflection, Sanguinius requested a public execution as soon as possible.

"Besides the execution, I'd like the official document declaring me a 'hero' now."

After these words, several beeps resonated in his ears.

Faker was unleashed...

Yet his complaints had become music to his ears, as Sanguinius was still a bit angry because of his "failure" from the last quest.

After the prince's departure to prepare the legal and official document related to Sanguinius's heroic acts.

The fallen angel turned his attention to Faker's messages.

[The divine seat finds "this title" of hero repugnant]

"Haha, you almost understood the truth but you keep staying in the illusion of an ideal hero."

A predatory smile drew itself on Sanguinius's beautiful face, an expression only seen by Serie and those dead by his hands.

"Justice? Hero? Villain? Is it really important to have a definitive role in this play that is the world, Faker?

Why should we play in a play created by those at the top?"

His words weren't just intended for Archer Emiya, but it was also a philosophical monologue.

"Villains are evil?! Heroes are justice?! These notions have been interchanged God knows how many times.

There exist in this world and elsewhere children who have never known peace and those who have never known war... They have totally different values."

He paused, as he unconsciously released his draconic aura as if his subconscious wanted to show his final position.

"It's those who are at the top who can define good and evil as they see fit, Faker!

At this very moment, we find ourselves on neutral ground, me and the demon king.

Justice will prevail? Oh yes, that's certain, Faker, because whoever prevails will become justice!!!"

The dragon.

A proud race that always gave free rein to their desires.

This is no different in the DxD universe or The God of High School, this race has always been at the top and has always acted as it pleased.

Sanguinius already had a sacred and elegant aura emitted by him passively thanks to his fallen angel nature, but the draconic aura coming from his heritage of a dragon at the apex of his world added something to him.

Something he already possessed but was smothered by mental excuses and self-imposed moral principles.

A tyrant's aura!!

"Kiritsugu had understood this, so he wanted to use an almost divine power to bring peace, but you?"

He added nothing more.

One tried to change things, but the other played the idealized hero without a real plan.

[The divine seat remained speechless before your words]

[The divine seat finds it senseless to continue because the moment you obtain the document, you will win]

[The divine seat admits he was wrong and too simplistic in his vision of things]

[Congratulations, you have convinced Faker and shown him Kiritsugu Emiya's opinion on a hero]

[Please choose between your two rewards]

[Reward: everything of Archer Emiya or 2000 points.]

"I'm going to take... 2000 existence points."

Sanguinius really wants to take Archer Emiya under his orders, but there are too many parameters to consider now.

For example, by "everything" of Archer Emiya, what does the system mean precisely?

Will Archer just be his servant, or will he assimilate him and become a demi-servant possessing "his everything"?

There's also his bottomless need for system points.

[The divine seat Faker sketches a sad smile because of your choice]

"Stop looking down, I promise to take care of your situation with Alaya."

Even though he had a small disagreement with Archer Emiya, Sanguinius still respects the individual.

'This man is just a victim of a system that surpasses mortal understanding'

A tragic situation he shares with his adoptive father.

Not to mention, he already wanted to set foot in the Nasuverse.

[The divine seat was surprised by your declaration, but he nods, his mind filled with expectation]

Archer left the stream without expressing himself further.

An act that didn't surprise Sanguinius.

'Rin Tohsaka almost suffered a similar fate'

Involuntarily, he displayed a nostalgic face remembering the Fate manga and particularly Fate/stay night UBW.

"Are you alright? There were strange magical energy fluctuations."

Sanguinius just smiled kindly at the crown prince before indicating the demon king covered in cold sweat next to him.

Like a kindergarten child, he blamed the only person around him.

'He's been talking to himself this whole time... have I been defeated by a madman?!'

This was the demon king's last thought before he was gagged and prepared for his execution despite his words about Sanguinius.

As Sanguinius had already declared, history is written by the victor and the demon king is a victim of such a system.

Heaven is at the top and hell at the bottom.

'Who's going to believe the demon king if he declares that the hero talks to himself?'
