The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 275: World Tree? Imagination Tree!
"Oh my, that's too much! Although you're the type who can tolerate kisses, after all—this is just our first meeting. Before we've had some interaction and contact, any overly intimate interactions are definitely not okay~!"

BB crossed her arms in front of her huge chest, made a big cross, and then said.

"Actually, as an AI with capabilities surpassing those of humans, BB naturally possesses a unique secret method for obtaining experience packs for seniors. If you want to obtain them quickly, go find the key figure in this main hall~"

"Ding! Exploration mission released. Requirements: The joyful new Electronic Holy Grail War has begun! This out-of-control Holy Grail War has been shrouded in mystery from the very beginning. Quickly find a key figure who can dispel the fog of war..."

Emiya didn't intend to respond. Although he was curious whether BB had learned the tricks of acting as the "system" in online novels after connecting to the Internet, playing games with BB right now was a waste of time.

He acted decisively and shook his phone.

"Ouch!"

"I'm too lazy to look for it. Just tell me who it is. This place is generally populated by outsiders who have nothing to do with the Holy Grail War. Those hidden among the tourists are basically those who refused to participate. Besides Valkyrie Slud, it's probably Rigidreve, right?"

"Wow, Senior isn't some idiot who's easy to tease!" BB pretended to wipe the non-existent tears from her eyes. "Okay, okay, it's that innocent, confused, simple, and pitiful little clone girl, Miss Reggie Reeves!"

"grandmother……"

Regislove covered her head with her hands, her smooth white hair hanging down from her forehead. She felt that her mind had become a little dazed after going to the computer space below the deck.

Perhaps it's not simply Emiya's concern that "humanity will dissolve into cyberspace."

But for some other reason.

She didn't know why, but she couldn't help but recall the image of Grandma Maria's gentle smile in her mind.

When Reggie Love was little, she vaguely remembered her grandmother, her hair gray but still beautiful, holding her hand and telling her stories about the outside world... There were lions and elephants, black and white bears, towering trees in the forest, and endless yellow sand deserts...

However, when Regislove came into contact with the outside world, she did not encounter these things. She only saw the devastated earth, the destroyed city blocks, the dangerous and terrifying Holy Grail War, and the power of the gods that was comparable to that of heaven.

The world is not a good place.

The only good thing was that he had stood on the side of the most powerful godslayer in the world in time.

Reggie Reeves still remembers that when her grandmother realized that she was planning to leave the YAMAL and escape to the outside world, she took her hand and said, "Live a good life, but don't love others and don't expect to be loved."

Grandma Maria had been deeply hurt by wrong relationships in her life, and she didn't want her children to repeat the same mistakes.

"But, grandmother..." Rijireve raised her head and looked at the magnificent candlelight and feasting in front of her. In a trance, she saw the red-haired godslayer who exerted the power of heaven with human power.

Grandma, if I don't fall in love with him, or if I prevent him from falling in love with me... can I really live happily in this increasingly dangerous world?
"You seem to be worried about something."

Slude beside her woke her up with a clear voice.

"Yes, I haven't been in good spirits since I came back..." In fact, Reggie Reeves had a certain avoidance mentality towards this real Valkyrie.

She knew that her grandmother's clones had no names...their so-called real names were just numbers, but Vincent had given them codenames like the names of the Valkyries, such as Helver and Orluun, and herself, Ridgelev.

In other words, Regis is just a mortal who stole the name of a real Valkyrie, and she feels that her existence constitutes an offense to the Valkyries.

As a Valkyrie, Slude could sense Regisleve's declining mood swings from a close distance. "...You seem to feel guilty about taking up the name of Valkyrie."

"Yes." Ridgeleve tilted her head. "Although I learned ancient martial arts on this ship, Miss Valkyrie knows that this level is far from the level of a Valkyrie..."

Slude shook his head. "If you truly possess the heart of a warrior, you will be worthy of such a title... We Valkyries are merely tools, machines chasing the spirit of a warrior."

"Eh?" Regirev didn't expect that Slude didn't take his own reputation very seriously, and even sounded a little confused.

"You'll understand... and here he comes."

Slude said that she gradually felt the difference between those humans and herself. They could live for various purposes and meanings. The girl was stumbling in search of her future life direction, while the brave warrior named Emiya was obviously not lost in his continuous improvement and forging ahead.

Her crimson eyes looked at Emiya's approaching figure, and she once again thought of her elder sister Brunhilde who fell in love with Sigurd. Perhaps it was because of love that her elder sister gained new meaning for herself... Although in the eyes of the Valkyries at the time, this was a terrible incident of Valkyrie losing control.

After being reminded by Slude, Reggiereve finally noticed that Emiya's figure suddenly appeared beside her. She was startled and wanted to stand up to thank Emiya for his care along the way, but she found that the other party strangely stretched out his hand and stroked her silver-haired head.

"...BB, are you sure this will actually collect wavelength data? And isn't this just a prank?"

Emiya spoke into his phone. Although he hadn't been tricked by BB so far, but—

A Sigma man will never be fooled by a woman's evil schemes!
"Hey, Emiya-senpai, don't be so anxious. After all, we don't have an external speaker right now. To prevent wear and tear over time, this small phone can't withstand any excessive manipulation, so we'll have to be a little more patient..."

Reggie Reeves heard a female voice that didn't sound like a good person constantly playing from Emiya's phone.

"Please, Senior, please follow the instructions and manually sample the wavelength data of this Miss Regisleve. This way, this AI can more accurately simulate the wavelength of her soul. Specifically..."

"Start by gently stroking the head, keeping your hand in the direction of the hair. Start with the top of the head, then gently knead the face, touching the entire head without any blind spots~"

Emiya apologized to Reginald, then hesitantly reached out his hand. Reginald, bewildered and unwilling to resist, could only accept with a slightly flushed face, almost closing her eyes in nervousness. Then, Reginald heard the voice continue, "Next are the neck and shoulders. Please continue from there, then carefully feel her chest—"

"Hey! Nothing seems right here. Doesn't the method you're asking for require a full body scan? ...This manual mode is too demanding. Is there a simpler, more convenient way?"

When Emiya subconsciously reached down, he saw that Regisleve's face was so red that it looked like blood was about to bleed, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Oh... what a shame~, congratulations, senior, for successfully seeing through the great devil BB-kun's little prank again! Actually, to scan, you just point your phone at this lady and take a picture, but BB-kun thought that manual mode would make your movements and reactions very interesting~!"

"...If you keep doing this, be careful. Sooner or later, the boat will capsize and you will get yourself into trouble." Emiya said this intentionally or unintentionally, but he estimated that such a warning would not have any effect on BB.

He took the picture, "Okay, BB, you said it was to mimic Reggie Reeves' wavelength, right? What's the point of that?"

Regislove pricked up her ears and listened. Her insistence on returning to the YAMAL did not seem to be a willful act. Could it be that she had some special role to play?

"Ding Dong! Since you know this is a replica of Star Maria, you should be able to guess that Star Maria is used as a vessel, not only as a vessel for the Black King, but also as the core of the operation of this Holy Grail War! So, Regislev is equivalent to—"

"She's the pseudo-Holy Grail?"

"Bingo! Senior, you're not slow to react. That's right, that's right~. To be more precise, as long as we obtain Miss Regisleve's wavelength data, we can refer to the Holy Grail War in cyberspace and try to use the Holy Grail authority to directly crack the level!"

"This is BB's cheat package! Black sheep wall (StarCraft full map cheats)!"

So, without further delay, Emiya went down to the crew quarters below, using his speedrunning skills.

"Huh? Everything has turned into computer space?"

Emiya did not find the staff dormitory where he was last time. The erosion of computer space was unexpectedly fast, and it swallowed up several floors of cabins again in less than an hour.

"Yes! Hehe, after all, the mastermind behind the scenes will also be anxious, and the metamorphosis process will become faster and faster~"

A flash of light appeared beside Emiya, and her long purple hair fluttered naturally in a manner that defied gravity. The girl's figure was curvy, as if she had walked out of a comic book.

BB actually came into reality!

"......?" Emiya was stunned for two seconds before realizing the reason, "Wait, your body is not?"

BB's figure floated in mid-air to Emiya's back, placed her hands on his shoulders, and leaned forward to press on him. "How's it going, Senpai? It feels real, doesn't it? That's right, in this computer space made up of data, the adorable BB can also come out and move freely!"

outside world.

Melyuchina transformed into a gigantic dragon body, soaring in the sky. Due to its extremely high speed, fierce winds blew at an altitude of tens of kilometers.

Nono and Eri sat on Melyuchina's dragon's back, their eyes fixed on observing the movements of the Arctic Circle... Ordinary people certainly couldn't travel through the stratosphere in their physical bodies, but these two demigods had no problem.

"What on earth is that? It's rising like a wall of wind...?"

Eri pointed to a sea area in the Arctic Circle.

The two had been searching for the YAMAL that had disappeared into the sea, while waiting for news from Emiya, but after a while, a huge branch of a strange bright red color emerged from under the sea.

Nono felt something was wrong and wanted Melyuchina to shoot it, but a wide barrier made of storms appeared out of thin air on the outside of the branches, as if guarding the strange bright red tree.

If Emiya were to observe this structure, he would undoubtedly think of the Fantasy Tree in the Lostbelt. In FGO, the Fantasy Tree is surrounded from the outside by the massive Storm Wall at the border of the Lostbelt.

"Something like a storm wall?" Nono couldn't answer Eri's question.

The only thing she could realize was that Emiya and the others might really be trapped inside and unable to get out.

This is not okay.

Nono picked up the same unbranded phone as Emiya, and after turning on the screen, what appeared was not a jumping AI, but a scene of a tall tower standing in a magnificent sea of ​​flowers.

"Hey, 'Boss', right? What's going on with this sudden appearance? Do you have any idea what's going on?"

Lu Mingze's voice rang out from the phone, "Oh, it's Storm Wall... I wonder if you know anything about the 'Hatchery'?"

"This concept is something many hybrids have studied from dragon history. When a dragon king awakens, it doesn't want outsiders to interfere with the process, so it uses extreme weather phenomena to isolate the hatchery from the outside world... People call this the 'hatchery barrier.'"

"The hatchery barrier..."

Nono and Eri looked at the white wall of violent wind that started from the sea and gradually extended to the sky. It was as if they saw a strange tree tightly protecting the inside, an insurmountable natural barrier for outsiders.

The endless and violent energy also drives everything, forming a conspicuous ring-shaped aurora. The powerful particle streams ejected directly into space, rubbing against the massive gas to form an electromagnetic storm in the sky.

If monitored by high-orbit satellites, it can be found that the North Pole seems to be spewing a particle fountain into space that is tens of kilometers high and does not dissipate.
