Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Chapter 628: Mutation Singularity: Red Mist Mutation

Large patches of bright red fog bloomed in the wind, embellishing the city that had become ruins with rich and blurry colors.

The acrid smell of ash mixed with the melted asphalt on the road, passing through the tall but lifeless buildings like a forest, dyeing the atmosphere a dark blood color.

red.

Everywhere there was red mist that was blooming like lush flowers.

The deserted abandoned city and the red fog that fills the atmosphere is undoubtedly a terrifying demonic realm.

Roland stared at everything around him in a daze.

The mountains in the distance were still shrouded in darkness, outlining clear and huge shadows, but due to the obstruction of this red fog, not even a single star could be seen in the sky. Therefore, what this reflection could bring to the onlookers was only a sense of alienation that was not real and was like the collapse of a Gestalt.

But for Roland, this disguise was of no use.

Judging from the layout and distribution of buildings, this is Misaki Town with a new apocalyptic skin.

Roland stroked his chin and looked up at the gloomy sky.

"What's going on? When I wake up, humanity is extinct?"

Although this leisurely attitude, as if he was sightseeing, made these words sound a bit like a joke.

But in fact, Roland's attitude is quite serious.

Since he became the perfect demon god, although he would not crush the world accidentally, in order to reach the high-level multidimensionality of the Root Vortex and even the level above it in one fell swoop, he still created a special phase to act as an interface to cooperate with the planet and control the power within the acceptable limit of the opponent to avoid alerting the enemy.

But even so, this power, which fluctuates at any time depending on one's mood, is an unbearable burden for Type-Moon.

The last second he was still in the guest room of the Toono family, hugging the girl's warm and fragrant body and falling asleep. As a result, just as he fell into a nap and opened his eyes again, the world around him had changed.

If he had not accidentally returned to Gensokyo and intruded into the past when Reimu was suppressing the anomaly, the most reasonable explanation for this incident would probably be the sudden demise of humanity, which in turn affected his beast status and completed a temporary phase swap.

"Was it Goetia or the White Winged Prince who did this? ... No, it should be both."

There was an inexplicable light flashing in Roland's eyes.

Out of consideration for the observer effect, he did not pay special attention to the progress of the FGO side, but let it play freely - after all, he had Roman, who had learned air magic, to back him up.

In addition, just as Goetia spent all his family fortune to become the number one on Moro's list, the other party absconded with the money and graduated at the speed of light. Even if new substitutes were hastily manufactured, the difficulty of those large singularities would inevitably be reduced, and it would be impossible to stop Chaldea's strategy.

Even if he had a killer move like the Final Singularity as a last-ditch effort, with Chaldea in front of him and himself behind him, the Demon King could see no hope of realizing his long-cherished wish.

In this case, it is not surprising to find allies.

"So, this is the so-called mutation singularity..."

As a world view that single-handedly supports half of Type-Moon's revenue, in addition to the singularities of the main storyline, FGO naturally also has various limited-time plots and joint activities.

Generally speaking, these types of active singularities have no impact on human history or have limited impact because of their completely deviated directions. Many of them even have nothing to do with Goetia.

But after all, it’s just a lot.

A double negative equals a positive. Some of the developments are too outrageous. Even though he knew it was a failure, the possibilities it contained were enough to make the Demon King tempted.

This kind of singularity, which seems hopeless but, if developed smoothly, may be able to open up a new future based on it, is called a mutation singularity.

In Roland's impression, the world line of the Kara no Kyoukai had been interfered with by the other party, forming a singularity called [Kyoukai Style].

In that world, not only did Ryougi Shiki and Asagami Fujino appear as temporary servants, but even the incorporeal Root Shiki also appeared.

This world filled with red fog is similar in specifications, but its manifestation is very different - the ordinary mutant singularity Goetia will directly use human burning to burn other humans, but this time it uses isolation.

By replacing the future and dividing the camps, it is impossible for those based on human principles to enter this world. Only those who deviate from human principles will be captured.

On the one hand, this would not only avoid affecting the people Roland cares about, but also prevent him from going berserk and causing the plan to fail.

On the other hand, although this kind of closed world has a bit of a self-entrapment flavor, from an objective point of view, the cage not only holds prisoners, but also serves to protect them.

In the case that Zhu Yue has not been resurrected, facing the joint efforts of the Church and the Magic Association once again, the power of the Dead Apostles' ancestors is really not enough. It would be better to release the most dangerous monsters all at once, just like raising Gu, to buy time and see the results.

"You're a lot smarter than last time."

Roland raised his eyebrows, acknowledging the Demon King's efforts.

Although they have different positions, in terms of professionalism, Goetia is much more hardworking than Roman, a lazy guy.

"In that case, let's see if this performance will disappoint me. I'll go meet up with Elquet first."

Roland muttered to himself, then randomly chose a direction that he liked and walked over.

To others, this behavior is undoubtedly incredible.

You have no idea about the enemy's plans and distribution, and you are in a city engulfed by a red fog that obstructs your perception. You neither send signals nor look for clues, but just hope to meet up with your companions by walking aimlessly?
No matter how you look at it, it is a fantasy.

But for Roland, this is the best strategy.

Just following the rules and breaking through the levels step by step like a brave warrior breaking into the Demon King's Castle will only make you obey the enemy's wishes. After all, this is not a barrage game.

Anyway, with his luck and gravity in this world, everything will come to him.

“…Ah, I found it.”

Roland took a walk and came to the gate of the park where he had taken a night stroll with Elquet a few days ago.

Waiting for him there was a group of monsters surrounded by the pure white Moon Princess.

The texture is like bark and leather, with a hard yet soft outer skin.

Six legs extend from under its bloated and enlarged abdomen, resembling the lower body of a spider.

There are also claws and teeth comparable to those of a giant dinosaur, emerging from the tumor on the back of the right shoulder.

Although the upper body generally maintains a human shape, it is difficult to associate it with humans when looking at the eight scarlet insect compound eyes.

Any rational person would understand at first sight that this is a device specialized for killing.

Roland recognized these monsters.

That was the information I got when I was training Rita and Smily in the secret room.

In order to supplement his combat power, Duke White Wing had previously spent a large sum of money to purchase many of Smily's research results, and this modified alien spider monster was a hot favorite among them.

Although they cannot be compared with the upper-level Dead Apostles, they are not inferior to ordinary Dead Apostles. Judging from their current number, which is like a pack of hyenas, they are enough to restrain the normal Dead Apostle Forefathers.

However, just as his first impression.

Despite the absolute difference in numbers, it was the monsters that were surrounded. ——Boom!

With just a random punch, the air would explode like a cannonball, and the obstacles in the way would be blasted into a ball of minced meat where it was impossible to tell blood from bones.

——Zheng!

With just a casual wave of the hand, the five claws would emit a cold light sharper than a sword, cutting the spider monster's arms that swung like a whip and the body behind it into several pieces.

The pressure in the abdominal cavity caused blood to spurt out from the smooth cross-section, spilling all over the ground like watermelon juice.

After even the weakness of blood-sucking impulse disappeared, even if it was a group of monsters like this, Elquet could slaughter them like a tiger among a flock of sheep.

Standing in the sea of ​​debris and blood, Elquet had an indifferent expression. He trampled on these zombies with the graceful posture of a dancer, and ended the battle without even a drop of blood on his body.

Perhaps he was not satisfied yet, Elquet let out a long sigh, his pupils erect like a wild animal, his nose slightly raised, and he kept scanning the surroundings with cold eyes, and soon he noticed the movement behind him.

Then, the solemnity on the girl's face melted away seamlessly like snow in spring.

"Roland!"

She turned around and smiled proudly, like a child who had finally waited until school was over so that she could show off her test scores to her parents.

"Look, I killed so many by myself!"

"I woke up and suddenly came to this world, and you disappeared. I was worried for a long time when I was surrounded, but it turned out that they were just some vulnerable fry..."

Miss Baiji came to Roland's side, chattering non-stop.

Listening to the beautiful, clear and ethereal voice like a silver bell, Roland, who took the girl in his arms, gradually sorted out the information.

According to Elquet, after she woke up, she suddenly found herself in a deserted city.

Then, while I was writing and looking for a way out, or wandering around, I was suddenly surrounded by the alien spider monster.

"The time difference is not that big...Apart from those spider monsters, have you encountered any other enemies or anomalies along the way?"

"Nothing, no enemy, no dead bodies."

Elquet looked thoughtful, carefully recalling the details of the journey, but finally shook his head.

"If there's anything wrong, that's the only thing," the girl frowned, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes, "At the moment the world began to change, I clearly felt that I was awake, because at that time I had instinctively used the fantasy materialization to restore the most suitable image for battle."

"But after I really came to this world and started fighting, I was actually a little unsure whether I was awake or not."

"You actually noticed this. Elquet is surprisingly perceptive."

Roland blinked and replied with a smile.

"Don't worry, I can guarantee that you are absolutely awake now. The reason why you have this subtle feeling is just because we are in a real dream."

"A real dream?"

Elquet tilted his head, still a little confused.

"Yes, or to put it more accurately," Roland nodded.

"——We are being haunted."

TATARI means "curse".

This is a "phenomenon" that materializes in a certain period and where certain conditions are met.

It will amplify and converge the "bad intelligence" in the common knowledge circulated in a small area in places where unrest and rumors gather until a clear image emerges, and then transform it into an entity's inherent barrier according to the appearance in the rumors.

Because it is a phenomenon, it cannot be defeated or escaped.

Because it is the embodiment of rumors, its form and abilities are different each time.

But it is precisely this uncertainty that means that even if it is not ended early, it will only last for one night at most.

Thanks to this characteristic, people gave it the name TATARI based on its posture and characteristics when it first appeared.

—Walachian Nights.

The source of this ability comes from the magician named Zibia Eltnam Oberon who signed a contract with Altruci.

As the dean of Atlas Academy, Tzibia naturally also participated in the ultimate proposition of the academy - to falsify the unchangeable future of human extinction observed by the first dean.

Unable to calculate a way to avoid destruction, he went mad and signed a contract with Altluchi, desperate to challenge the Sixth Law.

Using the power of the ancestor of the Dead Apostles to touch a proposition that even the Root Vortex dares not interfere with will naturally end in failure.

However, as a pioneer who successfully took this step, he also successfully integrated his own existence into the flowing system of the world, gathered the possibilities of mankind with rumors, constantly resurrected in various forms, and sprinted towards the barrier of the Sixth Law.

Singularities cannot be created in one day.

This is especially true for the stellar touch that the perfect True Ancestor Princess cannot resist, as she is blessed by the planet.

In addition, the nature of this singularity involves the existence of UO, so it is impossible for the inhibitory force to do nothing. Even Goetia does not have much confidence in the Holy Grail that he hastily made.

No wonder the White Wing Guild asked Nero and Roya to come back specially.

Without absolute foresight, he could not have imagined that Elquet would be cut into seventeen pieces by the Mystic Eyes of Death on the way, and his strength would be greatly reduced. Therefore, knowing Elquet's strength, the only reason he did this could be that he deliberately wanted to let these two people die.

Each of the Dead Apostles is a moving singularity, based on Nero's Principle of Beasts and centered on Roya's Principle of Reincarnation.

With the traces left by these two people in these days, it is more than enough to distort Misaki's range.

Previously, Roland thought that the widespread rumor about the blonde vampire was due to Elquet's carelessness. Now it seems that the White Winged Prince has been secretly fanning the flames since then.

The attack from the Magic Association and the Church was imminent, and the state of war was the best medium for rumors and public opinion.

He only needs to quickly move the battlefield here after realizing that Roya is dead, and the Wallachian Night will come uninvited like a shark smelling blood.

The Wallachian Nights of the Blood Ring, which contains the possibilities and principles of the Sixth Law, is an excellent material.

Based on it, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

At that time, Goetia only needed a little push...

bang——

"[Mutation Singularity: Red Mist Anomaly] was born."
