Shirou Emiya is challenging FGO

91. FGO's Greatest Mystery and Athena's Disobedience
[Currently available information]

[In the original FGO, there are many holes in the prologue singularity F that have not been filled yet. What I have filled in here are my personal settings. Please don’t take them as the original settings and KY them.]

☆Main content☆
In many story settings, light and darkness have a symbiotic relationship, and it is common to say that the brighter the light, the deeper the shadow.

Perhaps because of this, the power that Shirou calls 'Hollow' - that is, the power of the 'Dark Warrior' that Shirou obtained through the Dragon Demon Trial, has continued to grow over the past ten years as Shirou's strength has grown.

By turning on the virtual state, you can gain more and more power.

But the price is that the pollution caused by its side effects is becoming more and more serious. Shirou has been practicing the mind of "Buddha (not Buddhism)". In theory, his mental resistance has been increasing, but the power of the Hollow (Dark Warrior) is also increasing, and its mental penetration effect is becoming stronger and stronger.

Therefore, Shirou had to practice Taoism as well, trying to use the Taoist concept of yin and yang harmony to suppress the side effects of hollowing.

However, just before Ritsuka Fujimaru suddenly took action.

Shirou was holding the switch of "Hollow", ready to seize the opportunity, burst out instantly to end the battle and then turn off "Hollow" immediately.
In an instant, a very ridiculous idea emerged in her mind - in Sakura's words, it was a 'strategy' in which Shirou Emiya's character was seriously OOC.

Considering that after defeating Hercules, there is still Athena behind - and in addition to Athena who interrupted the queue, there are at least two original bosses of singularity F (including Miss Archer) to be defeated.
Therefore, in this battle of Hercules, the smaller the casualties, the better.

It just so happens that there is such a strategy right in front of us that can minimize the casualties in the Battle of Hercules!

The reason is unknown, but Ritsuka has been holding Hercules' 'hatred value'.

In other words, as long as Ritsuka is suddenly thrown into the battlefield at the critical moment when the Stone Monkey and Hercules are fighting passionately, Hercules' attention will be forcibly shifted to Ritsuka because of the "hatred value".

There will also be a fatal flaw.

The only risk is Ritsuka's safety, but she has no combat ability and is a burden. Even if she dies, it will not affect the subsequent battles. This is the best combat plan in theory.

This thought flashed through Shirou's mind for a moment.

In just a moment, it was denied and suppressed by Shirou.

However, Shirou was still in a trance for a moment, and there was a slight mental flaw for a moment, because Shirou realized that "something seemed to be wrong after he became a Servant."

What's wrong?
Of course, this strategy would be rejected by Shirou!

But——given Shirou Emiya's personality, such thoughts should not arise!
This is Shirou, who is often criticized by Rin Toosaka as "You just can't do this!" His extremely altruistic character means that when he needs to sacrifice himself, he will be the first to do it, whether it's a small matter on campus or a life-threatening battle!

In Shirou's thought process, he is not the kind of person who would consider solutions that harm the interests of others. He does not even have this idea, but does it naturally.

Shirou had never before experienced a situation where he had to reject a strategy of his own.

Because Shirou wouldn't have such thoughts!

——Thinking of this, Shirou suddenly realized something was wrong.

If you think about it carefully, it's strange that he cut Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand in exchange for the contract.

Because the situation was too urgent, Shirou's train of thought at the time was "decided that the Master needed to be changed → believed that Ritsuka would definitely accept it given her personality → so he just took action."

At first glance it seems fine.

But under normal circumstances, Shirou's train of thought for doing this should be "determining that the Master needs to be changed → believing that Ritsuka Fujimaru's personality will definitely accept it → explaining that he needs to cut his hand in order to protect her life → continuing to act based on Ritsuka's answer."

The final result would probably be the same. Ritsuka's personality allowed him to know what was more important, but normally, Shirou wouldn't be able to skip the step of 'giving the decision to the person involved'.

Because the person who would behave like this is Emiya Kiritsugu!

(What's going on? Did the Dark Warrior's mental pollution break through the seal that Rin helped me build? Or did the other servants' unconscious disgust/hostility towards Xiang also happen to me?)

A moment of insanity.

Instead, it caused Shirou to reveal a fatal flaw in the life-and-death battle with Hercules!

However, at this moment, an "accident" occurred that no one had expected.

Unexpectedly, Shirou's thoughts were 'leaked' to Ritsuka.

Was it because Shirou's method of changing the contract was too crude, resulting in the contract between him and Ritsuka not being severed?

Or, is it that Ritsuka has some abnormal passive ability related to "summoning technique", which leads to the lingering relationship between her and Shirou as the "summoning master"?
Ritsuka even had a strange feeling: although Shirou no longer needed to provide magic through her, she could vaguely sense the connection between herself, Shirou and senior Akebono Hinako.

It's as if Shirou and Aku Hinako are both his servants.?

What exactly is going on?

No one knows yet.

As a result, Ritsuka's mind flashed back to what Shirou was thinking at that moment.

Ritsuka, who not only looks but also thinks like Shirou, subconsciously searches for the key words 'Letting Ritsuka be a bait is theoretically the most perfect battle plan'.

(With this method, no one will be in danger!)
Ritsuka came to this conclusion subconsciously.

At the same time as she came to the conclusion, she, who had been hiding behind Custer, had already taken action!
——Who on earth does this inexplicable altruism and super strong action resemble?!

No matter how.

Shirou had revealed a flaw for a moment, but it was extremely fatal.

However, as Ritsuka forcibly broke into the battlefield, with the 'Aura of Taunting' fully activated, only the instinctive mad beast - Pollution Berserker Hercules was left, unable to suppress his 'unconscious instinct to be hostile to Ritsuka'.

He left Shirou and Ishiuan Hosho behind and turned to face Ritsuka who was rushing towards him.

Ritsuka looked up at the giant, and what he saw was the mad Hercules wrapping his spirit and fighting spirit in his fist, turning his palm into a knife with a 'hand knife'.

Hercules' body is the most terrible weapon.

This strike could cut off even the body of a dragon, not to mention that the Polluted Berserker now concentrated all his strength on his hand knife.

Thunder roars!

The attack, which was several times faster than the speed of sound, arrived in front of Ritsuka in an instant.

An ordinary human’s body would be torn to pieces in an instant, right?
Even if it didn't hit directly, the overflowing 'qi' itself was enough to split mountains and crack rocks.

--but

Because of this, the flaw is too big.

The spirit and fighting spirit that originally covered his entire body were now all concentrated on the hand knife.

The defenseless back was exposed to Shirou.

Although Hercules' body is extremely strong even without the blessing of energy-based defense, a Servant is not the original Servant after all, let alone a contaminated Servant with a damaged spiritual foundation.

The opponents he faced were also extraordinary.

Under Shirou's control, the Stone Monkey Dharmakaya changed its fist into a claw and pierced Hercules' heart from behind. At the same time, Shirou used the technology originally used to make up for the difference in physical fitness between himself and Hercules - the collision of two opposite energies of 'magic power' and 'Qi training', to create more energy to enhance explosive power.

That is, an 'explosion' - acting directly on Hercules' body!
The battle was over in an instant.

Shirou even felt a little regretful - the regret of not being able to have a good fight.

But Shirou is not a Saiyan. Although he has inherited the fighting fanaticism from Miss Musashi, he will not let this impulse ruin the overall situation.

The most important thing at this moment should be the safety of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Although the pollution berserker Hercules had been defeated, he had already delivered his final full-strength attack.

Aku Hinako, who was able to act independently, manipulated the power of the earth spirit to urgently raise a wall of earth in front of Ritsuka while Shirou's internal organs were critically hit by Hercules!

Aku Hinako also used all her strength to defend herself, but it was just a makeshift defense after all, and that was also Hercules' last full-strength attack.

Even though it looked like just a 'hand knife', with Hercules' physique, it was no different from an area attack and could not be avoided at all.

The final result is——

[Although the pollution berserker Hercules has been defeated, his last blow before death was also directed at Ritsuka. Because it was a large-scale attack, it was impossible to dodge. Although Akagi Hinako hastily set up a soil flow wall, the effect is probably limited.]

[Fujimaru Ritsuka performs a 'damage received' check based on the 'maximum health percentage'! (If it exceeds 80, an additional 'will check' will be performed to see if the person falls into a coma, difficulty 96)]

【1D100=91】

[Fujimaru Ritsuka's will is being tested. If he fails, he will fall into a coma. If he fails terribly, he will face death directly.]

[Difficulty: 96]

[Fujimaru Ritsuka's 'will': 1D100=52]

[Skill: Steel's Will EX 'Correction': 1D100=44]

[Total: 96]

【96=96——Pass! 】

The little devil Haruka, who was about to emerge in Ritsuka's mental world, shrank back.

It was undoubtedly a fatal injury. No, it should be called a 'fatal injury'.

However, something incredible happened in front of everyone.

If it were a normal human being, after being hit head-on by such a blow, the whole person would be cut in half - or even turned into ashes.

But Ritsuka was different. Although her injuries were still very serious and her internal organs in her abdomen were almost gone, she was not chopped off and died on the spot. Instead, she miraculously managed to maintain her "human form".

Is it because Aku Hinako's defense was effective?
What's even more incredible is that Ritsuka didn't fall into a coma. In a trance, he stammered to Shirou and Aku Hinako: "It's dangerous to run away from here. We might be exposed. Let's go to a safe place first!"

Seeing this scene, Da Vinci couldn't help but exclaim: "What's your relationship with this girl? Is she your and Lin's daughter? She's already this big?"

If it weren't for the mismatch in the magic circuits, Shirou would have been unable to help but wonder if the girl in front of him was some 'female version of Shirou Emiya from a parallel world' or something like that.

Aku Hinako quickly picked up Ritsuka and gave her emergency treatment. Although Caster wanted to help, she really didn't have the ability to deal with this level of injury - it would be more accurate to say that Shirou didn't have this ability either.

In a panic, Aku Hinako decided to try everything possible!

She injected her own blood into Ritsuka's body, separated a part of her blood and kneaded it into the shape of human internal organs, then injected it into Ritsuka's body to replenish the internal organs she had lost, and then forced her blood to flow along a normal trajectory.

This is more of a 'fill in' than a treatment.

Because Hercules's attack directly evaporated Ritsuka's original blood, Ritsuka seemed to have no injuries at first glance, and there was no blood on the surface - except that his clothes were gone (the clothes were also evaporated along with his blood and internal organs).

At first glance, it seemed that apart from his pale face, he had no injuries.

But she is not out of danger at all!
"Let's try our luck at Einzbern Castle! If there's no one there, I'll try to find a way to save the situation!" Shirou still looked calm on the surface.

But before that, he had one more thing to do.

He took out his personal gadget - which was also the 'hidden treasure' in Shirou's servant panel.

It was a square-looking metal machine.

In the celestial world, people like Shirou who often have to fight digital disasters to maintain law and order have this machine issued by the Alliance. After destroying the digital invasion disasters - various monsters - they convert them into data quanta for absorption.

Quantum has become a basic currency in the future world.

This machine is commonly known as the 'digital atlas'.

In the celestial world of 2004, the function of this thing is like the convenient "space bag" in various novels.

After becoming a Servant, Shirou checked his Digidictionary. Probably because of the burning of human logic that messed up the causal logic of time, everything Shirou had stored in it turned into mosaic blocks and could no longer be read or used.

But after this thing became Shirou's 'hidden treasure', its function was also strengthened by the Heroic Spirit System.

Destroying servants or monsters can generate gold coins (quantum) and absorb them into the gold coins.

Shirou converted the defeated Contaminated Servant Hercules into 'drops' and collected them.

[Hercules' Spirit Core (Berserker/Contaminated/Incomplete)] - Leave this material alone for now.

Shirou used the digital atlas to transform part of the quantum dropped by Hercules into an 'first aid bandage', and asked Caster and Aku Hinako to quickly use it to wrap Ritsuka's entire torso.

Although it looks like just an ordinary bandage, it is actually a kind of spiritual magic that can effectively repair physical injuries. At least in the celestial world, it is very effective for the people in the celestial world.

And the remaining quantum——

After the Alliance proposed the 'Digital Servant Partner Plan', it also included the 'upgrade function' that was still in the testing phase and gave it to Shirou.

Shirou used this function to transform all the remaining quantum into a tool called "Fire Seed".

This funny thing looks like a golden cookie?

It was Shirou's first time using it, so he wasn't too sure, but the instructions said that it was fine to just eat it directly. It was said that this thing designed by Flatt had random flavors.

Shirou stuffed all the existing seeds into Caster's hands. "Eat them all. You and Hercules are both Berserkers, so you should be able to gain more experience points! After all, Akagi Hinako's main job is not weapons. I'll need your help in the battles ahead!"

Although Caster was confused, since Shirou said so, she just gritted her teeth and started eating.

And so, on the way to Einzbern Castle, Shirou and Aku Hinako provided emergency treatment to Ritsuka along the way, while Caster ate all the way.

Custer: "Fuck! The last piece smelled like champagne! How come this piece smells like burnt weeds? How come this piece smells like undercooked leather boots!?"

Shirou: "."

I can only say that it is worthy of being designed by Flatt. If you don’t know, you would think it is a prank.

Although Custer was repeatedly hit, he kept complaining
"Mashed potato flavored fire! It actually makes me feel a little nostalgic."

But the 'food' was not wasted and it was all eaten.

Shirou watched as Caster's level began to rise. It was very fast at first, but it slowed down as the level increased. After reaching level 50, even if he continued to eat 'Fire Seeds', his experience points did not move.

"."

Seeing this, Shirou couldn't help but think: If Sakura were here, she would definitely complain about how the mechanics of this thing are like those of a 2D mobile game, right?

Anyway! Level 50 Custer already has the ability to fight!
Shirou subconsciously thought of a strategy in his mind:
(Castor and I are fighting at the front, while Aku Hinako is protecting Ritsuka and providing auxiliary support, Ritsuka)

Shirou hesitated.

(If we can't solve her 'monster pulling physique', we have to find a way to increase her own combat power, right? If she also has combat power, this physique will be very effective - should we say that we have to find a way to make Ritsuka a 'tank' type of character?)

It seems that you can’t say that.

Although Shirou didn't play much, Sakura, Shinji, and Miss Gamesh played a lot. I heard that recently, compared to the so-called "blood tank", the "dodge tank" is stronger.

Anyway.

Because of Ritsuka's actions, the Pollution Berserker Hercules was defeated sooner than expected.

Miss Archer can still delay for a while, Athena's advent has not yet been completely successful.

[Because of Ritsuka's actions, the time to defeat the Pollution Berserker Hercules was advanced a lot]

[Although the overall time is still very tight]

[But here we can add a judgment: before Athena arrives, how many "action rounds" will Shirou's team have left? ]

【1D2=2】

[Then, after one round, Caster (Cuchulainn) will come to join Olga Marie (the original plot arrives)]

[After the reunion, before Athena arrived, he still had time to help treat Ritsuka's injuries]

Shirou glanced at the intelligence tips recorded in the narration.

Slightly relieved.

It seems that there is no need for Shirou to use 'Forging' on Rinka as a last-ditch effort.

There are reinforcements in this singularity F Fuyuki City. He was already in Fuyuki City before Shirou and others arrived. I believe he will provide a lot of information that Shirou and others need, right?
(Since he is Caster's Servant, he should be better at healing than us, right?)

Shirou thought for a moment.

Found a suspicious point.

(Hercules's previous action patterns were also suspicious. If Ritsuka hadn't appeared to attract hatred for no apparent reason, Hercules's range of action seemed to be limited to the forest area outside the city of Einzbern.)
In other words, if it weren't for Ritsuka's 'halo of attracting hatred', Shirou could actually choose to run away with Ritsuka, and leave a certain range, so that the pollution berserker Hercules would not chase after him.

In a sense, if the singularity F Fuyuki City is a game dungeon map, Hercules is the kind of "field challenge BOSS". You can fight him or not, just avoid him and fight the final BOSS - such an existence.

(In Sakura's words, there is obviously a 'hidden plot' here)
Shirou warned Aku Hinako: "Reinforcements will arrive soon, don't get excited - of course, don't let your guard down completely."

Aku Hinako didn't ask Shirou how he knew that.

Instead, he showed a "well-behaved and obedient" attitude that left Leonardo da Vinci dumbfounded.

Custer asked Da Vinci: "Can't you help me?"

Da Vinci spread his hands and said, "I can heal, but I can't come here if I'm not on the front line. I also have to repair the base here. I didn't use Shirou's magic before. I just helped Shirou compile the spell in the background. He was the one who actually launched the spell.

Shirou's attribute excels at destruction. From the perspective of alchemy, 'forging' means 'killing' the metal and then 'giving it new life', which means destruction and creation are carried out simultaneously. Ordinary minor injuries are fine, but he cannot handle such serious injuries.

How about I send you the technique and you can see if you can learn it on the spot?"

Hearing this, Caster immediately thought of the time when he was hired by Morgan to become a temporary fairy knight. When Morgan taught him magic, the other party had a look of "hateful" and "wanted to smash Caster's head with a staff".

Caster thinks that if she is willing to spend time, she can still learn advanced magic, but it will take a little longer. Shirou and Caster act separately to see if they can find the Einzbern family in the Einzbern Castle in singularity F, or find the things protected by the "Pollution Berserker Hercules".

That should be the existence that he still instinctively wants to protect after he has fallen into madness and lost his heart.

[Shirou and Caster take the time to explore Einzbern Castle]

[1. There seemed to be something there, but it is no longer here (Illya randomly fell to another singularity)]

[2/6, Illya in coma!?]

[3/4, Illya in a seriously injured state]

[5. Illya in a 'death state (data life form)' (due to Avalon's influence, she is now in a state of neither life nor death)]

[7. Dead Illya (Soul fell into the Greek underworld)]

[8. Dead Illya (her soul fell into the Sumerian underworld)]

[9. Dead Illya (her soul fell into Maya's underworld)]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=5】

Shirou: "!"

Although during the search, Shirou had already guessed, "Could it be Illya (sister) who disappeared in the Fuyuki secret realm before the celestial world was burned down by humans?"

But the actual situation was still beyond Shirou's expectations.

Shirou found Illyasviel - his sister.

Her appearance had hardly changed from that year, she still looked like an Einzbern android girl, and she was still wearing the black windbreaker that Shirou was familiar with, imitating Kiritsugu's outfit.

Shirou didn't know what she had experienced before, nor was he quite sure what the connection was between 'Singularity F Fuyuki City' and the 'Fuyuki Secret Realm' in the previous celestial world.

From the looks of it, Illya seemed to be seriously injured, with the chest part of her body almost gone.

But she did not bleed—

To be more precise, the blood flowing out of Illya's wound turned into a scattered stream of data light after leaving Illya's body.

(↑Pictures are for reference only)
Shirou was very familiar with this scene.

When he was in the celestial world, conquering various data life forms, this kind of thing would also happen when those data life forms died.

For the 'real world' outside the celestial world, is Illyasviel, the native of the celestial world, also a 'data life form'?
Shirou is not good at this kind of knowledge. Among his companions, Shinji is the one who is good at studying this kind of thing, so he can only guess based on his experience.

Data life forms can also die, but the manifestation is not injury and bleeding, but the loss of the "data" that constitutes their own life. When all the data disappears, it means the complete death of the data life.

Illya's situation is very strange.

Judging from the perspective of a data life form, she should be dead.

But these data that make up the life of a data organism seem to be framed by something and cannot truly disappear, but are locked within a certain range.

Why is this happening?

Shirou immediately thought of one thing - Avalon!

Scabbard of Avalon!
That is the most powerful treasure in King Arthur's legend. Her scabbard is also called "an utopia far away from the world".

In King Arthur's hands, Avalon can deploy a barrier to form an absolute defense that ignores all physical interference and interference from all parallel worlds - even the five major magics cannot reach it!

Even among the various legendary divine tools and treasures, it is worthy of being called the "Supreme Treasure".

But like its name, this thing disappeared in the Arthurian stories.

King Arthur lost his scabbard. Thousands of years later, the Einzbern family accidentally dug it out and used it to summon King Arthur.

According to the normal development of the world line, this thing would be buried by Kiritsugu into Shirou's body to heal the damage Shirou suffered from the black mud.

Shirou in the celestial world deviated from this trajectory - this led to a series of plots dealing with the dragon demon later on.

The scabbard of the celestial world was finally buried by Kiritsugu into Illya's body, and became a tool for Illya to break free from the upper limit of the lifespan of androids and live like a normal person.

Over the years, Shirou - and mainly the students and scholars in Toosaka Rin, Waver, and El-Melloi's classrooms - have been studying this thing.

There are also attempts to make it exert its true power besides 'extending life'.

But all ended in failure.

Weber proposed an idea:
"Avalon is the ultimate mystery that cannot be touched by the five great magics."

"And the so-called Servant Summoning, after all, is actually a product of the third magic."

"That is to say, when King Arthur appeared as a Servant, he was not unable to carry the Noble Phantasm Avalon because of the 'history of Avalon being lost'."

"Even if a certain King Arthur was summoned as a young man who still possessed Avalon, I'm afraid Avalon doesn't exist."

"Because the Heroic Servant System itself is a product of the third magic, and magic cannot reach Avalon, and parallel world interference cannot reach Avalon either. In other words."

"Avalon is a thing that should be the only one of its kind in the world."

“Even those who hold it temporarily will lose it soon for various reasons, and it will eventually ‘disappear’ quietly.”

"Otherwise, wouldn't most of the Heroic Spirits like Shirou Emiya have an Avalon in their possession? If Avalon could be mass-produced like this, it would be too cheap to be the 'Supreme Mystery'."

"To disappear and become an 'utopia far from the world' is the destiny of this treasure."

Weber's theoretical analysis ability is beyond doubt and is as persuasive as ever.

But the question is - what about the one inside Illya?

Who has been keeping her alive for so many years?
Weber believed that Chaldea should not only possess the technology to create the 'celestial world (data world)', but should also be able to mass-produce it.

When the Fuyuki Incident happened before, Waver asked Leonardo and Roman about it, but Roman said he didn't know much.

But Leonardo da Vinci said: "Although there is no 100% evidence, I have investigated various research traces and I think - your judgment is correct!
Director Chaldea, Marisberry, has probably done this kind of thing called "creating a data world" countless times before!"

Where is the evidence?
The answer is - the Holy Grail War.

In the general impression, there are many Holy Grail Wars. The previous ones all failed. It was precisely because of the experience accumulated from the previous ones that the fourth and fifth Holy Grail Wars were held.
Uh, a not-so-failure kind of failure.

That's right, under normal circumstances, the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City should have been "never really successfully held".

Even in a normal world line, it would get to the point where "it was demolished before it could even be successfully held once."

There are countless bugs and accidents in the Holy Grail War.

--but!
In the world line of Chaldea (FGO), the Holy Grail War was also held in Fuyuki City.

And it only happened once!
This time it actually worked!

Not only did it succeed! It succeeded in one try!

Director Chaldea, Marisbili, participated in this Holy Grail War, which was successfully held and won. In the end, he successfully fulfilled his wish, and his wish was realized very normally.

This is unreasonable!

Logically speaking, the core of the Holy Grail War is the summoning of heroic spirits, which is the field of summoning - summoning is classified as "spiritual summoning" in the academic circles of magicians.

And Marisberry is the monarch of the astronomical department.

Even if the Lord of the Spirit Summoning Department himself came, he would not dare to say that he could master the Heroic Spirit Summoning System of the Holy Grail War - and make this thing operate normally without any accidents.

But the Marisbury of the FGO world was like a god, as if he knew all the possible bugs in advance, avoided all the accidents, and skipped the process of "constantly correcting errors to improve the Holy Grail War system" -

Directly took out the 'Perfect Holy Grail War System'.

Directly achieved a 'perfect victory'.

Got the 'perfect wish' directly.

Is this reasonable?

unreasonable.

If we reason from common sense,

Leonardo da Vinci: "Chaldea-Marisbery's 'technology for creating a celestial world' has long been mature!

Not only has he matured, he has also created countless "celestial worlds" long before the current super-large Chaldea base was built, calculated countless histories in them, and observed the Holy Grail War held in the celestial worlds countless times!

Finally, we got the "Perfect Holy Grail War" that was held in the Chaldea (FGO) world line, which was a one-time success and never held again!"

After all.

The technology of creating the celestial world originated from the kingdom of ancient astrologers - the Kingdom of Chaldea.

Animusphia is the successor to the Chaldean Kingdom.

After so many years, it is not impossible that this technology has been completed and mass-produced.

——Shirou recalled this
Suddenly, I had some doubts: "Could this singularity F and this human logic be related to the research of Marisberry, the old director of Chaldea?"

But he is dead, and there is no evidence for the time being.

Back to the topic of Avalon.

"The technology to create the world - in the final analysis, it is also the domain of the five great magics. You don't even need to reach the level of the five great magics to do it."

"So, does that mean that something like Avalon can be produced by just 'creating a world'?"

"Doesn't that mean that as long as we can 'mass-produce the world', we can mass-produce Avalon indefinitely?"

As far as Shirou knew, among the magic association organizations - with the exception of the Clock Tower as a special case - the other magician association organizations all possessed similar technology and were capable of doing so.

Even more exaggerated than this.

But no one could mass-produce the Avalon.

Weber ultimately concluded:
"The real Avalon is absolutely unique. It disappeared long ago and became an 'utopia far away from the world'. The various 'Avalons' that appear in countless parallel worlds are actually just 'projections' of the real Avalon."

--but

"Even if it's not the real Avalon, as a projection of Avalon, it should be able to project some of the 'Avalon effect'. If it's in the hands of the real King Arthur, it might be able to exert power that's infinitely close to the real Avalon!"

Shirou muttered to himself:

"Sword scabbard, my origin 'sword', maybe it can also form a connection with the scabbard!"

Shirou had tried to study Avalon before, but all attempts ended in failure.

But what if King Arthur is by my side -- what if Altria helps me?
Even if you can't fully channel out 100% of the power of the main body, you should be able to channel out a part of it, right? (Note: The plot of Saber's line in FSN)

Even if the Caster beside Shirou is not King Arthur and has never obtained the Scabbard of Avalon, he can at least serve as a catalyst for the use of Avalon and play a certain role, right?

Thoughtful.

Shirou extended his hand to Illya in front of him.

The moment Shirou's fingers touched Illya, who was like a sleeping beauty, her body shattered into countless data particles, revealing the scabbard Avalon.

Illya's data particles were absorbed by it.

Shirou held up the scabbard.

The scabbard of Avalon from the celestial world (data world) also showed signs of data confusion similar to "garbled code" and "mosaic" on its appearance after it came to the real world.

But it is Avalon after all. Even if it is something like the 'projection of Avalon's projection', it still possesses certain performance of the 'Supreme Noble Phantasm'.

Illya from the celestial world is sleeping in it.

No, it should be said that he died, but the data was saved. How can he be resurrected?

Shirou hesitated.

Is it necessary to look for some resurrection item like in those games that Sakura played? But where can I find it in real life?
Da Vinci, who had been observing and analyzing and silent for a long time, reminded Shirou: "Perhaps the power of the 'God of the Underworld' can help? Of course, I am just guessing. After all, the power of God is not as good as magic, and Avalon is a more advanced existence than magic.

Its effect is that it can perfectly heal all wounds by 'making the harm unable to reach the victim'.

But I think that to revive Illyasviel, it shouldn't be necessary to fully utilize Avalon's power, right?"

really--

"The power of Hades."

Shirou muttered to himself, and the first thing he thought of was actually... uh, the smoke mirror.

Shirou still carries the holy relic mirror that is equivalent to the spirit of the Smoke Mirror - to be more precise, he cannot throw it away.

If we were to trade with him, he should be able to find a way, right? After all, he is the creator god in Mayan mythology.

But Toosaka Rin has warned Shirou countless times in the past ten years: "Don't trade with Smoke Mirror unless you are desperate. Any favor you get from him will turn back into misfortune in another way."

There is no rush to resurrect Illya for the time being.

With the protection of Avalon, there is no need to worry about the safety of Illya who is now in a 'dead state'. Does this description sound strange?
Later, when the time is right and Illya is resurrected, perhaps through her we can figure out the deeper secrets of singularity F.

Now -

Shirou picked up the 'Avalon (Data World Version)' in his hand, brought Caster, and returned to Ritsuka's side.

same moment.

A man with wild eyes and wild hair, who was hard to imagine as Caster from his appearance, but more like a monk wielding a stick, arrived at the Einzbern Castle with another girl with long silver-gray hair.

Coincidentally, at this time, Roman also came to the command room of the Chaldea base. As soon as he came online, he saw the girl with long silver-gray hair and red tights (long underwear?) under her short skirt - Olga Marie.

As the last remaining member of Chaldea’s management class, Roman immediately cried out in shock, “Director!???”

He looked at Olga Marie in front of him in disbelief.

That look was as if he saw the corpse of a dead person coming back to life!
The proud Olga Marie immediately raised her unhappy eyebrows and said, "Romani? Why are you there? Where's Rafe?"

Roman was silent, and after arranging his words, he answered Olga Marie carefully: "As the head of the medical department, I am the tallest person among the survivors in Chaldea."

“——Hey!”

Cu Chulainn waved his staff vigorously, interrupting the conversation:
"Rather than talking nonsense to a leader whose voice makes people feel timid and lacks authority and courage, there are more important things before us right now!? Isn't someone's injury still on the verge of death?"

indeed!

Now is not the time to chat, save people first!
Shirou took out the Avalon.

Cu Chulainn was stunned. "How did this thing appear? No, this one of yours is a fake, right? But it has the same effect, just a difference in strength. It can't be the 'perfect defense (stay away from harm)' like the real thing. It seems to be protecting a soul inside?"

Cu Chulainn rubbed his chin and said, "You are lucky. If I were a normal person, even if I recognized it, I would not be able to use the power of this thing."

When talking about Cu Chulainn, the first thing that comes to mind is his iconic weapon, the 'Magic Lance, the Piercing Deaththorn Lance'.

In other words, Cu Chulainn's normal summons are most likely to be spearmen or berserkers.

The magician class is very rare, and normally it should be the case that "Cu Chulainn is a spearman, but he can also exert a certain degree of rune magic power."

Cu Chulainn pointed at Shirou, then at Caster, "Although it's quite remote, you two can act as catalysts to channel Avalon's power. Move over - and you!"

Cu Chulainn pointed at Akebab and said, "You provided your blood to rebuild her body, right? You are a being with strong vitality. I will see if I can help you sew out a good result. Oh, by the way."

Cu Chulainn suddenly thought of something and reminded Shirou:
"You said that you might need the help of the power of the Hades? That's perfect. Athena in the normal spiritual world is the goddess of war and the guardian of the hero god. But this time it's not a normal situation. That's not 'Athena as the daughter of Zeus', but a more ancient Athena, the 'Disobedient Athena' who tried to use the opportunity of the burning of human nature to return to her original state.

The original return to Athena should be the ancient "Mother Goddess of the Earth" and "Goddess of Wisdom".

The earth is connected to Hades.

Therefore, Athena, who would normally be suppressed by her identity as the 'daughter of Zeus', has a particularly strong attribute of the 'goddess of the underworld' - this time she is constructing the spirit base of the gods in the world as the 'goddess of the underworld'!"

——Is there really such a coincidence?!

All coming together! ?

Cu Chulainn's crazy smile became even more intense:

"That's great! All you have to do is kill the gods and you can save your lover!"

"Not a lover," Shirou corrected seriously, "but my sister."

Cu Chulainn: “?”
