111. The Retoucher's Counterattack
At this moment, Shirou finally understood a little bit what it felt like for those enemies facing the power of his projection.

'No idea where to start'

The power used by the enemy before him was so familiar. They were all abilities and fighting methods that Shirou was most familiar with - but even though he knew them, he was unable to come up with an effective countermeasure.

No matter how you react and change your fighting style on the spot, the opponent can "copy" it synchronously.

As long as the enemy's hanging effect has not stopped, he can obtain his own power at any time - and even "update synchronously" with himself!
more importantly!
In addition to being able to obtain your power synchronously at any time, the enemy also possesses other powers that you do not have!
To summarize, once the projection ability user's 'hang' is activated and does not stop, and the body does not collapse due to being unable to withstand the effect of the hang, then the enemy, in theory, has no means of resistance!
That's right.

'Theoretically there is no means of counteraction'.

'In theory'.

There is a common sense in the Type-Moon world that almost all rules, common sense, laws, etc. with a prefix such as "theoretically impossible" will definitely have "special cases" where "it can be done in actual situations."

Miraculous exceptions occasionally occur.

When Shirou actually fought against the paradoxical monster that mimicked his appearance and acquired his power, and when the fake Yin-Yang swords of both sides collided, Shirou knew two things:

1: I absolutely cannot defeat the existence in front of me
2: Methods to overcome what is in front of you
Shirou will never be able to defeat the 'anti-evolution monster' that possesses the 'power of evolution' in front of him, because he is evolving all the time, constantly acquiring the power from Shirou, and constantly copying Shirou's data exactly as it is!
But while he has exactly the same data as Shirou, he also possesses powers that Shirou does not possess.

He who is parasitic on the planet can mobilize the memory (database) of the planet's will that has fallen into a state of rampage.

The planet's memory (database) records everything that happens on the planet and can reproduce almost all the existence and power that have ever appeared on the planet.

The monster whose identity is unknown is like a mirror, reflecting not only Shirou's appearance but also his past experiences.

To be more precise, all the events that Shirou experienced in the past were silently watched by the planet, the 'stage where the story took place'.

The anti-evolutionary paradoxical monster, after parasitizing the planet, used Shirou himself as the 'keyword' to search the planet's memory database, and then materialized Shirou - as well as almost all the enemies and teammates Shirou had encountered in the past.

This scene made Shirou feel as if he had encountered the "demon obstacle" in the concept of Buddhist practice.

But perfect memory reconstruction also has flaws.

A very obvious flaw.

A flaw that I don’t know whether it can be considered an ‘advantage’ or a ‘disadvantage’.

The memory of a planet, after all, is nothing more than the planet watching what is happening on the stage of itself from an absolutely objective stage perspective.

To say it is a perfect reproduction is just a reproduction of what you see.

Planets cannot reproduce such abstract things as the 'human heart'.

In other words, the thinking logic of higher-dimensional life forms such as the planetary will and gods is different from that of humans and can never be fully understood by humans.

On the other hand, whether it is the gods or the planets, they cannot actually fully understand the "thoughts" of humans who are creatures from a different dimension from themselves.

The gods and planets appear as freaks from the human perspective.

But on the other hand, from the perspective of the planet, aren't humans, who have unknown origins and inexplicable "power of thinking", the same?
However, because the planet cannot understand and therefore cannot reproduce the human mind, the projected thoughts created will not defect to the enemy side just because their inner personality and other aspects are perfectly copied.

But - in other words!
The method to defeat the [Unknown Identity (???·Anti-Evolution)] who is using the power of the planet is already very clear to Shirou.

Shirou even had some suspicion that the ideological work and transactions that the Smoke Mirror had done on him not long ago in the underworld might have been a reminder to Shirou that he would face the threat of this thing in the future.

Yes, the answer is obvious.

That is the 'heart'.

"Do as you wish, that is your law."

"Love is the law, and it is controlled by the power of will."

"All so-called people are stars."

It was not known if it was a coincidence, but before Shirou actually met the [Unknown Identity], the magicians around him, for various reasons, introduced and explained to Shirou the magic philosophy of the legendary modern astrologer Aleister Crowley—who might actually be implemented as a Servant?

This man is considered to be the "most evil man in the world", the "beast", and the "beast of the apocalypse". (Note: This is not a setting that Type-Moon already has, but a true story in reality)

Let’s not talk about my own reputation for now.

Aleister's magic philosophy is neither the church's emphasis on the Holy Spirit nor the traditional magic philosophy's pursuit of the analysis of the truth of natural science. Instead, it emphasizes human subjective initiative - but it is not the idea of "man can conquer nature" in Eastern philosophy.

Instead, it is closer to the idea that 'man is heaven' and 'all human beings are great'.

Human thoughts, human will, human beliefs, and human spirit themselves have the power to distort reality.

The world is not completely objective, but a considerable part of it is based on subjectivity.

Every human being does not live in the objective real world, but lives in his or her own subjective "world within the scope of personal cognition". The objective real world is just impurities mixed in.

In the most ideal case, humans under the mystery system of Thelema can use their own "personal reality" to distort, influence, and cover the objectively existing "reality of the world."

Thoughts, strong personal ideas, strong desires - human will itself can be transformed into a special energy that belongs only to humans. This energy is so strong that it can even distort reality!
In Sakura's words, it's something like "The heart that believes is your magic."

In Shinji's words, it's something like "the kind of idealistic power in super robot animation! For example, the spiral force in "Gurren Lagann" or something like that."

Strong emotions can be transformed into bursts of energy that break free from the constraints of common sense.

It can also be called the so-called 'light of the soul'.

It is better to say that many modern stories about idealistic powers have been more or less, directly or indirectly, influenced by Aleister's "Book of the Law".

The power that humans unleash through their 'heart' is something that the planet cannot understand.

In Aleister's words, this is the 'true will' that belongs only to humans - the true will comes from the heart and soul of the individual, and can be called the "true calling of the heart."

True will is not simply indulgence in luxury and pleasure, but transcending the shackles of normal people, not considering good and evil, and creating a form of representation of true moral values that belongs only to the individual.

(Note: Just in case, I'd like to clarify that the Aleister I'm referring to here is a person from real history, 'Aleister who exists in the Type-Moon worldview', not the Aleister from "A Certain Magical Index" or "A Certain Scientific Railgun", because Aleister is a real person in history, not an original character in the Magical Index series)
Because the planet cannot understand these things, even if the planet reproduces, the most it can do is project an empty shell with exactly the same power.

The explosion of the idealistic system is endless and continuous. You can project my power performance at this moment, but at this moment, I will continue to explode and break through my power.

There is no limit to the wishes of the heart! Even Tianyuan can continue to break through!

Theoretically, all humans have the potential to master this "mind power" and all humans have the potential to build their own "personal reality".
The so-called supernatural power of "personal reality copying the reality of the present world" when it is exerted to its limit is to create a cosmic egg based on the human heart - what is commonly known as the "inherent barrier".

but!

Although the method is right in front of us.
But just as Shirou spent ten years and still failed to build his own complete inherent barrier.

This is Shirou's weak point, or to be more precise, it is Shirou's flaw.

The heart is imitated, the ideal is borrowed, and just because "that should be right" and "the companions around him think that is right", he will risk his life to do it.

However, Shirou's own thoughts have always been very few - that is to say, Shirou rarely takes action simply because he "thinks I should do this".

People who master the power of the mind generally have particularly strong personal wills.

Even if the smoke mirror provides help, the possibility of a direct qualitative change in a short period of time is very low.

Shirou, who has difficulty mastering the power of the mind, happens to encounter an enemy that he must use the power of the mind to perform a "psychic burst" to defeat!

This enemy whose origin is unknown and who suddenly appeared due to an accident [unknown identity] is suspected to be an anti-evolutionary monster related to the "Celestial World Experiment Project" of the old director of Chaldea.
It is almost impossible for Shirou to be his enemy now!
Originally, they have the active mentality of young people in adolescence, which is the so-called "youthful vigor", "what kind of youth is it if you are not young and vigorous?", "young people are full of personal ideas and wishes for the future and are less affected by objective reality".

Shirou should be at the most suitable age to unleash the power of the heart.

But due to various reasons, Shirou's character has been like that of an ascetic 'old man' since he was a child.

In most cases, this calm state of mind allows him to effectively fight against most enemies!
If I have to say, the most suitable person to deal with him should be the Roman Emperor Nero. It can even be said that Nero, who possesses the power of "Love is Infinite", is his nemesis. But since there is no chance for Nero to appear now, we can't expect that kind of help!
It's impossible to forcibly chain summon Nero just because she also has a silly face! ?
Can I only rely on the cards I have now to deal with it?! ?
While Shirou was rapidly fighting with the [Unknown Identity] who had transformed into his own image, using the exact same Yin-Yang swords, the real and fake Monkey King Shi Yuan Dharma Substitutes behind both sides continued to attack each other at a rapid speed - while thinking about strategy
The battle naturally tilted towards [Unknown Identity].

There is no special reason, it’s just because Shirou’s enemies are not only the impostor in front of him, but also almost all of Shirou’s former companions and enemies!
——Is there no choice but to retreat?

(After retreating, ask Olga Marie if she has any countermeasures.)

Just as Shirou was thinking quickly.

As Illya screamed, the cold recording of the narration also appeared in front of Shirou's eyes.

The planetary memory of Toosaka Rin entered the state of 'White Emperor, the God of Death' and launched a sudden instant step attack on Shirou, while the planetary memory of Miss Musashi, which entered the fighting mode, also attacked to the other side of Shirou at the same time.

Under attack from both sides, Shirou, who wanted to defend and evacuate, saw a monster in front of him whose true identity was unknown and whose body and the Yin-Yang swords projected in its hands suddenly became distorted.

Then, it turned into a chaotic, sticky liquid.

——Swallow

Shirou was caught off guard and had no way to retreat. Amid Illya's screams, he was swallowed head-on!
But I don’t know if it was luck, or if everything was foreshadowed in advance - although Shirou was indeed forced into a desperate situation, he now has something that may be a turning point!
That's Illya!

To be precise, it is the scabbard Avalon of the celestial world that now contains Illya's existence data!
Even if its true identity is unknown, it cannot swallow Avalon instantly.

Even though the Avalon in this celestial world is only a projection of the real Avalon, its powerful protective effect is still in effect!

Unable to devour instantly. No, it seems that it cannot be said to be devouring. [True identity unknown] For some reason, she developed a strong interest in Shirou. This interest is not the so-called liking, but she wants Shirou to become a part of herself and replace him!
But no matter what, because of the existence of Avalon, the anti-evolutionary beast [whose true identity is unknown] cannot succeed immediately!
But Illya is not sure whether she (Avalon) can really keep defending. If the real Avalon is here, maybe she can.

But the real Avalon has long disappeared.

The various Avalons in countless parallel worlds are nothing more than projections of the Avalon that has disappeared.

Illya doubted that this thing could not last too long. The false Avalon was just a shell. It might be able to reproduce some of Avalon's power, but after exceeding a certain limit, this false shell itself would most likely collapse.

Take a step back.

Even if it won't collapse immediately, Illya is still worried: This thing won't just protect Illya's existence data. Faced with a situation that it may not be able to withstand, it will choose to shrink its defense and only protect Illya, not Shirou, right?
(Can it just protect Shirou? No! That's not right! Now is not the time to think about 'it is the sister's responsibility to protect her brother'! If we don't do something, both of us will die here! It's just a matter of dying sooner or later!)
If I get killed by this kind of enemy, do I really have a chance to go to Smoke Mirror for a 'revival match'? I'm afraid that this guy will be a difficult enemy even if Smoke Mirror comes!)

Although the anti-evolutionary beast in front of him is still a juvenile.
We have to find a way.

Illya must think of a way, must try to do something!
(Summoning Heroic Spirits. This is the only way to create new combat power out of thin air!)

(But the Holy Grail is now in the hands of the enemy, so the probability of successfully summoning a Heroic Spirit by force is very low. Moreover, in my current state, can I really summon a Heroic Spirit as a Master?)

(Even if we take a step back and successfully summon a Heroic Spirit, what is the probability that the Heroic Spirit that appears will be able to fight this enemy?) (What about the retreat? Can Olga find out the change here in time and find a way to take Shirou out immediately!?)

Countless thoughts raced through Illya's mind.

At this moment, Illya's sight flashed by herself in the planet's memory among the enemies.

Illya and Shirou are in a telepathic state, so she naturally knows the shortcomings of the seemingly perfect planetary memory - it does not have the power of the "heart". Although it is powerful and its power output is very stable.

But there is no "explosion" caused by the influence of the "heart" - and it does not have the power of "possibility" that humans have.

Therefore, if you want to fight her, you can only rely on miracles. Rely on things like the 'possibility of miracles'!

Shirou now has the power of heaven, which is the power to distort reality with imagination. Shirou is not good at wild imagination, but what if Illya uses it?
Use your imagination!

The power to break through, the power to seize opportunities, the power of possibilities!

Illya thought.

——The power of "Magical Girl Illya".

Another self that is not yourself, Illya's twin sister in a distant parallel world.

If she could summon a magical girl——or something like that, Illya couldn't do it right now.

After all, Illya is a professional magician who has learned a lot of mysterious knowledge. Her common sense makes it difficult for her to imagine something that "does not conform to the basic principles of magic at all".

Therefore, even if she had the power of heaven, Illya could not summon the magical girl - she was already nineteen years old. Thanks to the rescue of Shirou, Kiritsugu, and Kirei from the celestial world, Illya lived a normal life. In addition to her body, her personality also grew normally.

Although she still habitually plays the role of a loli, it is just a habitual act of pretending to be young, just a disguise and acting to match her appearance.

Magical girls and other fantasy-filled things were quite embarrassing to Illya, who already knew that she was a 19-year-old big sister.

but!

What if you think (imagine) as a magician or as an adult?

"Summoning Heroic Spirits!"

"Even if she's not a hero widely known to humans, the quantum recorder will record everything. Theoretically, through the Heroic Spirit Summoning mechanism of the Throne of Heroes, there is a chance that 'Magical Girl Illya' can be summoned as a Servant!"

"If a temporary summoning contract is constructed."

"Even if the Holy Grail of this singularity is in the hands of the enemy, as long as we skip the step of 'building the Servant's body' and execute it in an 'incomplete', 'temporary', and 'forced' way, it will be feasible!"

That's right.

Illya intends to let herself become the host of 'Magical Girl Illya'!
This is a very dangerous thing because Illya has now lost her real body. She is just a mass of existence data, a data life form.

Your own data may be forcibly mixed with other data that does not belong to you. This is obviously very dangerous and may even be fatal!
".But I have Avalon, at least my life can be saved. Probably."

These are not words of self-consolation.

Because Illya will do it no matter what!
"Help me not be my alter ego, the ten year old, magical girl me!"

This is not a question of whether it can be done or not.

It is something that must be done!
"Let me believe in it for once - the miracle of magical girls, love and hope!"

[Faced with ???'s 997 successful attacks, Illya wants to give Shirou a chance to counterattack or retreat]

[Because we are facing the enemy's great success]

[So, Illya decided to perform the Fantasy Heroic Spirit Summoning under the additional conditions of 'incomplete', 'temporary', 'forced', and 'with serious side effects that may damage one's own data'——]

[The goal is to face this desperate situation and be able to do something, to be the 'other self' that I just knew not long ago - that is, the 'Magical Girl Illya' who possesses magical power! ]

[Difficulty: 75 (If a great success, there will be no side effects as a reward)]

[Illya's 'Help me! Another me! (Magical Girl: Miracle of Love and Hope)': 1D100=94]

Summoning Heroic Spirits!

Maybe a miracle happened.

Or maybe it was due to some unknown reasons - the magical girl Illya was originally a Heroic Servant registered in the Throne of Heroes!
The power of the magical girl traveled through time and space and came into the body of Illya in the celestial world!

That is——one of the disciples of Magic King Solomon, the second magician, the magic marshal, Jewel Master——

Made by a passionate fan of the sultry magical girl, it is the power of the ultimate magic costume that is worthy of the name of the crystallization of the power of the "Second Magic: Interference in Parallel Worlds"!
That's right!

There are also magical girls in the Type-Moon world, and magical girls really are using magical powers!
Certified by Gemstone!

The miraculous power of love and hope does exist!

"——Leave it to me! I heard your voice. I don't know what's going on, but leave the matters of the other me and my other brother (Shirou) to me!"

Illya heard it, a voice that was very similar to her own, but that innocence was not fake, it was the voice of the real elementary school magical girl's 'other self'.

"Do you have any idea how to solve this situation?" Illya looked at her other self and asked subconsciously.

She showed a somewhat troubled expression in response.

"Uh, I don't know. To be honest, I don't understand the current situation here. The summoning contract that was put together is also tattered.
But, but! There will always be a way!"

There is nothing to be afraid of anymore!
"Let them see how powerful you are! Illya! After all, you have my most powerful magic suit to help you!"

At the same time, the ultimate magic outfit made by Jewel himself, which is the magic girl's treasure, also jumped out of the artificial intelligence program "Ruby", and a playful girl's voice came out of it for some unknown reason:

"Circuit connection confirmed! Since I don't have a body, I'll temporarily borrow the magic circuits of this 'Brother-sama' - his magic circuits are the kind that are fused with the nerves of the body, so I'll make some adjustments - are you ready, both of you? I'm going to stack Illya and Illya together to build a spirit particle network, and then attach it to 'Brother-sama'!"

Well, to be honest, I have no idea what this magical girl's staff (noble phantasm) is saying, but the so-called magical power is originally such an unclear thing, right?
"The heart that believes is the magic of the magical girl——Hen! Shin!!!"

The light is flashing!

For a moment, Illya and Illya thought that what was going to happen next was that Shirou's body was going to change into a 'magical girl'. The scene was so beautiful that it was eye-catching just thinking about it, but for some reason, Illya and Illya actually felt a little excited after imagining it for a while!
"Oh my, no matter if they are ten or nineteen years old, no matter if it is Illya or Chloe, they are all children who have no resistance to Thur. Although it is not impossible, I refuse! Ruby, at most, I can accept those androgynous beautiful boys and boys who become magical girls! No muscular tough guys like Brother-sama!

If a big boy like this sticks me in this way or that, Ruby will definitely break! If you want to find a Kamen Rider belt, you'd better ask someone else. Ruby is the magic girl's staff and mascot~"

Well, this so-called artificial intelligence program for the ultimate ceremonial costume made by the magic marshal Bao Shiweng is obviously not a serious person. It really makes people wonder whether the real character of the magic marshal himself has problems.

Illya: "I, I don't expect that!"

Illya: ".Tsk."

However, although!

Although he has such an unreliable personality, his magical power is real!
Second Magic: Parallel World Interference
From the infinite parallel worlds, almost infinite magic power is forcibly squeezed out, and then a temporary body is constructed, and then two Illyas are injected into it together!
"Celebrate!"

"She is a combination of the past and the future, a super magical girl born from the superposition of two Illya's souls, a combination of possibilities and impossibilities!"

"Super Illyasviel von Einzbern!"

"This moment is the moment she was born!"

Illya: ".Has she always been like this?"

Illya: "Uh, ah I don't really understand. Ruby always says things that none of us can understand."

"You two! Now is not the time to chat! The enemy on the other side is not an ordinary enemy—ah." Ruby suddenly made a sound as if she was 'playing hard', "Really? Can you do something like this? What is on the other side?"

With the appearance of the magical girl Illya——

There was no time to find a way to rescue Shirou.

Before the magical girl's eyes, Illya, who had memories from another planet, appeared!

Not just another careless magical girl Illya!
“Have you also copied the second rider, the magical girl Miyu, and the third rider, Chloe? What on earth are you fighting against? No matter how high the normal success judgment value is, it is impossible to directly defeat the high success value!?”

The 19-year-old Illya couldn't stand this noisy wand that was talking nonsense: "Speak human language!"

Ruby: "To put it simply, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. We can only help buy time - or I can just run away with Super Illya. If Brother wants to be saved, he can only rely on himself!"

Both Illyas were anxious: "Can't we make an exception and let you give it to Shirou (brother) directly? Forget about the style of painting, let Shirou withdraw first!"

Ruby: "No! I can't do it! My body will be stained! - I'm not kidding! The old man designed the Gem Staff so that only women can use it. If you want to find it, go find my cousin's Gem Belt!"

Illya took a deep breath.

In short.

Well - we can only fight!

I believe Shirou can break free!
Then fight, girls!
←to be continue!
-
I have been busy with some trivial matters in real life these days. In fact, these things have nothing to do with me.

general speaking

My mother's sister is a teacher, and her husband is a high-ranking official. She has a son and a grandson. Because her son is a playboy who is the kind of villain in classic traditional urban novels and does all kinds of bad things, she wants to hide some money for her grandson because she is worried that he will ruin the family.

Because she was worried that her son would mess with her, she gave the money (about two million) to her sister, my mother, for safekeeping.

My mother had a quarrel with my father some time ago and wanted to divorce. Although everything is fine now, she opened an account using my identity since then, and all her money is deposited in this account of mine, and her sister's money is also deposited in this account.

But before that, my aunt’s grandson committed suicide by jumping off a building at school when he was in junior high school. He became a vegetable and was rescued but was no different from being dead. In the end, he was euthanized.

The money was never taken back and was left with me temporarily. She didn't say what she planned to do with it in the future. She only had one son and one grandson, but the grandson is gone.

Then recently her son got into trouble and was investigated, so the money will also be investigated. Although our family knows that there is no problem with the money, who knows if it is really okay?
In short, it is this kind of trouble that suddenly pops up for no apparent reason.

It shouldn't take too long, right? Nothing should go wrong, right? It shouldn't have anything to do with me, right?
