Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Naturally, Roland didn't get any response.

Considering the bond between mother and daughter, he did not bring Altluci with him.

Therefore, now around Roland, except for Smeeley who was like Sleeping Beauty, there was only silence so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

However, even if I brought it here, before the turmoil in my heart turned into a gaffe on my face, Miss Heiji would probably have bitten me angrily.

Not being able to become Zhu Yue's legitimate successor had been her obsession for thousands of years, but Roland actually called the ancestor of a mere dead disciple the King of the Moon.

If anyone else dared to say such nonsense, let alone bite, even if they bit the other person's throat and tore every inch of the body into pieces, Altluchi's rage would not diminish in the slightest.

But the reason why Roland was so sure that Zhu Yue's will was lurking in Smily's body was naturally not a subjective conjecture without any basis.

In fact, the moment he saw Smily's information, he realized something was wrong.

"After all... there shouldn't be any mutant Dead Apostles that can break the curse."

This view is often held in the secular world.

A Dead Apostle who overcomes the curse will become even more powerful.

But this is actually a classic misunderstanding, because the person who came up with this conclusion completely puts himself in the perspective of human beings.

Dead Apostles are never normal beings, but monsters who rely on the curse of immortality to survive. For them, weakness and strength are two sides of the same coin.

Precisely because after thousands of years of history, the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles still has a weakness that can be suppressed by the baptism chant, and can use this precipitated curse to expand his own principles to the Principle Blood Ring, becoming a living singularity that pollutes the planet.

Removing the weakness of this curse is no different from severing one's own meridians.

Even if we can barely ensure that the existing strength is not lost, we will lose all our potential and gradually weaken in the future.

But at that time, Roland was just a little skeptical.

There are so many possibilities in this world, and among so many world lines, there will always be a few oddities appearing.

In a world line like the Holy Grail War, the Emiya family can become their meal. It is not particularly strange that a madman who overcame the flowing water curse was born among the ancestors of the Dead Apostles.

But after discovering the appearance of fantasy materialization, Roland quickly discovered the abnormality.

The so-called magic is the analysis and study of mysteries.

Because of this, even if the times are changing, technology is advancing madly, and the planet's great energy will be exhausted in the future, the figures of magicians have never disappeared.

When magic from the Age of Gods was beyond the scope of the profession, it was replaced by the new magic after the Christian era. When the new magic became outdated, modern magic was used as the main force. When the great source was completely exhausted, they transformed into spirit particle hackers and continued their magic on the moon with spirit particle magic.

Therefore, although the iron rule that magic cannot be replicated has never been broken, magicians have still created many techniques that are infinitely close to the realm of magic.

The most obvious example is the downgrading of the Realm Record to the Summoning of Heroic Spirits, and the Command Spell system constructed by Matou Zouken using the magic power of the Holy Grail. In addition to control, even long-distance instant movement can be achieved in an instant.

If you really look into it, Araya Souren's origin technology and Orange's puppet technology are both worthy of this title.

However, even such arrogant and fanatical magicians, after having created the Inherent Barrier, a prototype of the cosmic egg, and acknowledging its status as the ultimate secret of magic, still conceptually regard it as a subspecies of fantasy materialization.

This is enough to show the value of the ability to materialize fantasies.

Because in essence, it has gone beyond the scope of technology and concepts. It is a privilege similar to programming, which you cannot get by studying it.

Generally speaking, if you are born without the ability to materialize your fantasies, then you will never have this ability in this lifetime.

Even with Roland's incredible growth rate, it was not until he officially became the complete sixth beast after the fifth war that he gained the ability to materialize his fantasies.

You have to know that at that time, he had already begun to touch the level of modifying reality with the help of Killer Queen. Not only was the fate of half of Type-Moon's world line involved in his life, but he also had the Black Energy Mother to guarantee him.

Even in FGO, it would be more than enough to be the boss of the Lostbelt in the final chapter.

But compared with Smily, the ancestor of the Dead Apostles, and Roland at that time, they were just a drop in the bucket.

If that’s the case, how could the opponent materialize his fantasy when he was so weak?

After confirming his guess from Artluchi, this question has been lingering in Roland's mind. It was not until he met Smily in person that he understood everything.

The information provided by the church was correct. The opponent was indeed the real deal, a mutant Dead Apostle who had overcome the flowing water curse.

However, the cause and effect is reversed.

She overcame the curse of flowing water by becoming a mutant Dead Apostle.

Just like the manifestation of Smeeley's Principle, the water spider is the only spider that can go into water. As an intelligent character, she has long transformed herself.

But as an ancestor, she naturally knew the nature of the Dead Apostles, so in order to avoid backlash, she did not aim at the curse from the beginning, but another form of transformation.

——Sublimation of the essence of life.

Although Dead Apostles are often called vampires, this alone is far from enough to refer to all blood-sucking species.

The blood-sucking animals of South America, the flying-headed barbarians of China, and even their original ancestors, all belong to the category of blood-sucking species. Smithley chose to use the subtle differences in nature to improve herself.

However, perhaps because of the precedent set by Black and White Princess, she, as the ancestor of the Dead Apostles, did not aim too high and choose a True Ancestor. Instead, she took a different approach and chose another type of vampire.

The touch of the planet, the darling of Gaia, the terminal used by the Earth's inner sea to manage the surface.

That is... the elves who have taken on flesh.

Although when talking about this type of existence, because of their complicated experiences and responsibilities, people are often attracted to Gaia's smurfs, the lake fairy who forges the holy sword, and a famous island witch, thus forming a fixed impression.

But in the way elves exist, there is a possibility of vampires.

Strictly speaking, the way the elves suck blood, which absorbs life energy from both plants and animals, is different from the usual way of sucking blood.

But in terms of physical classification, they are indeed quite close to the True Ancestors.

According to the information Roland knew, Yu Meiren was one of the representatives.

If through this form of transformation, one can successfully transform one's life essence into an alternative elf, it is normal for Smeeley to overcome the curse of flowing water and not be backlashed on land just now, but instead have a surge in momentum.

However, this reason is still not the reason why Smithley can realize her fantasy.

Roland saw it very clearly.

A purebred elf would be fine, but considering Smily's potential, this kind of dead disciple who changed his identity halfway through life, even if he successfully changed his identity by sneaking across the border, should not be able to get support from Gaia.

Unless... there is a being other than Gaia who opened a back door for her.

"Juyue Brunstad."

Roland crouched down, looked at the girl's pretty face, slowly twisted the soft hair around his fingers again and again, and spoke as if muttering to himself.

"You should be able to sense that this alien world has cut off the sight of the inhibitory force. Are you still pretending to sleep?"

"Faced with other people's cordial invitation, you don't even have the courage to respond. This is not like the Moon King's demeanor." Smily still did not answer, but only made an indistinct whimpering sound, looking completely immersed in the nightmare of the illusion.

Seeing this, Roland was not annoyed.

He simply threw the hair in his hand, put one hand around the girl's waist, touched her calf with the other hand, and picked her up.

Well, in a princess hug position.

While unconsciously stroking Smeelei's smooth legs, Roland's other hand was not idle either, but gradually moved upwards along the soft and elastic skin.

In the end, he had buried his head completely in the girl's arms, letting the faint fragrance linger between his breaths.

He had clearly refused to play sleep play with a lazy girl like Smithee just a moment ago, but now he is acting so recklessly.

This certainly doesn't mean that Roland's principles on XP have changed.

But it's different now and then.

Just like using the same body, Zhenming and Lilith have completely different hobbies and reactions, and are two independent individuals.

The same is true now.

With Smily's mind completely captured by the Demonic Rose Eye, regardless of whether the other party was willing to show up or not, the soft body in his hand, apart from instinct, only had Zhu Yue's subconscious left.

The psychological stimulation that teasing Smeale and teasing the noble Moon King bring to Roland is completely opposite.

Finally, maybe it was because he was caressing her thighs too wantonly, or maybe his gaze on her lips was too burning.

Suddenly, a faint sigh suddenly came from the air.

"I never thought... that my witch would be discovered by the alien god..."

Roland tilted his head and lowered his eyes.

Smithlei, whose mind was still immersed in the eyes of the Rose Devil, suddenly opened her eyes.

Although her appearance and body had not changed, he could clearly sense the difference in the girl due to the intimate posture of holding her like a princess.

The original lazy temperament was swept away, replaced by the luxury and elegance like a queen.

Moreover, this sense of grace is very different from the noble temperament of Arteluci, which comes from her bloodline.

No external things are needed, just looking at it will make people feel inferior and insignificant.

There is no need for any extra action, just existing is enough to make the whole world respond.

It was as if her nobility was a product of another realm, beyond the standards of this planet.

But what is more eye-catching than this natural beauty is the girl's eyes.

——The base color was dark gold, but the deep inside seemed to contain colorful lights, and the pupils were bright and dazzling.

These brilliant pupils were not some rare demonic eyes, but a sign of the other party's arrival.

It was like the lightning before thunder, and also like the sign that appeared when a contract was made with a spirit.

Although it wouldn't be that drastic when she wasn't awake, Smeeley probably sensed this uncontrolled trend of change, and realized that she was stronger when she was drained of water on land, but she still chose to stay in the water.

Roland thought to himself.

"You just said that Smily is your witch?"

"As someone who has received my gift, but is not qualified to be a vessel, of course I can only exist as a sacrifice to God, that is, as a priestess."

Zhu Yue tilted her head. Her voice was beautiful, even pleasant to the ear.

It's just that most people don't have the energy to appreciate its unbridled power, as if it were the bottom of an abyss that would completely swallow up everything.

However, Roland was naturally not among the majority.

He stroked his chin and pondered.

"I see. No wonder Smeeley knew nothing about your existence and did not completely transform into an elf."

Originally, he was still wondering, given Zhu Yue's purity and her identity as an elf, even if it was only a part of her will, Smily should have gradually gotten rid of her identity as a mutant Dead Apostle.

It turned out that the other party had no intention of using Smithie as a pawn from the beginning, but only regarded her as a sacrifice that had not been picked yet.

However, when Zhu Yue heard this answer, she was stunned.

"Strange, isn't it because you knew this possibility that you were so sure to let Yu show up?"

"Of course not. I just found something suspicious and came over to take a look. Do you think you hid it well?..."

Roland stared at Zhu Yue's surprised expression and reacted: "Ah... Sorry, you really seem to think so. I seem to have said unnecessary words. I'm so sorry."

According to the root warning, in order to avoid turning the unknown into the known, thus failing to achieve the goal of advancing to the higher-level multiverse, Roland did not directly observe the direction of the new world and the small movements of the inhibitory force through the Akashic Records.

But even so, because he had gained the vision of a complete official in Magical Index, he was still a little Versailles.

To an unfinished Protoss like the Suppression Force, the Dead Apostles were originally toxins wandering on the edge of gray. It was impossible to recruit them under its command, and naturally it was impossible to accurately estimate their potential and possibilities like it was with humans.

If even Smithley herself didn't know and Zhu Yue didn't show up on her own initiative, then on the surface, she was just a lucky person who broke the curse and gained the ability to materialize her fantasies.

"..."

Zhu Yue looked at Roland deeply.

Although she realized that she seemed to have been dissed invisibly, she did not care. As the will of the moon, such a thing was not enough to cause her any emotional fluctuations.

She just stared quietly at the working Mystic Rose Eyes.

When these magic eyes are open, they will indiscriminately capture anyone who looks at them, but this obviously cannot affect her.

"Can you perfectly reproduce the Principle Blood Ring to a point where it is even more powerful than the original? This is indeed my mistake."

Zhu Yue nodded and spoke softly.

"I was too focused on the key goal and forgot that since this era could create an opportunity for Yu to return to the stage, there would naturally be disasters that would overturn this stage."

"But since you have blocked the sight of the inhibitory force, it proves that for me, although the situation is not optimistic, it is not desperate either."

Faced with the unexpected situation, she did not panic. Instead, she suddenly smiled as if she had confirmed something.

"How about becoming my ally and sharing this world with me?" (End of this chapter)
