A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

Shirou paused for a moment, wondering if his personality was really that complicated.

At that moment, Shirou, whose eyes were closed, suddenly saw a light in his pitch-black vision.

A gloomy sky, a dark sun at the end of time, burning streets, desperate people... and amidst all of that, myself constantly searching for a way to survive.

Those fragments of memory that had become somewhat blurred due to the reboot are now finally complete.

In this way, Shirou witnessed his own death time and time again.

Struggle, pain, despair, madness... Through countless deaths, his personality was tempered and transformed into a spark called steadfastness.

Then, all of this fell silent.

In the now silent, pitch-black vision, an elderly figure appeared.

Judging from his appearance, he looks to be only in his sixties.

His white hair was messily combed back, and although he was a serious-looking old man, his energetic expression made it difficult to judge his age.

He was strong and upright, just like the stereotypical image of a great man in the military.

"After the world became what it is today, something is constantly brewing, and within ten years at most, it will erode the stability of the world."

The old man looked at Shirou with a kind smile on his face, and his dark eyes shone with a light of wisdom.

"Besides, there are many outsiders eyeing this world covetously. I am already overwhelmed, so I hope you can protect this world in my place."

"..."

Shirou remained silent, pondering Zelrich's words.

There are far too many destabilizing factors in the world of Type-Moon if you really want to count them all.

Factors like damaging continental plates and frequently washing away the surface of the earth are enough to give anyone a headache.

Shirou only possesses the power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya; how could he possibly defeat these guys?

I don't know why this old man has the ability to protect the world.

"Unexplained self-confidence."

However, according to Zelrich, the world has changed drastically because of him, because of the reboot brought about by his "system".

Therefore, it seems that only he himself can fulfill this responsibility as the culprit.

Thinking about this, Shirou felt immense pressure.

"Even if I refuse, I can't escape it when that day comes..."

Shirou couldn't help but sigh.

However, there is still a chance.

After completing that main quest, the next opening of the Dimensional Roulette will bring him new power.

At that time... perhaps that will be a turning point.

"Child, before facing the impending crisis, you need to become strong enough..."

While Shirou was pondering these thoughts, the old man's figure had already vanished, leaving only this final piece of advice.

Shirou opened his eyes as someone gently patted his shoulder, only to find that the passenger plane had landed sometime earlier.

The blonde girl beside him was reminding him.

"Shirou, we've arrived."

Chapter Sixty-Four: The Meeting of Monarchs

The "Clock Tower" is considered to be a department of the current association headquarters, which is located in the suburbs of London, England.

The name Clock Tower is related to a building that resembles Big Ben. It is newer than other departments, with a history of about 2000 years. It was founded in the first year of the Gregorian calendar (the Clock Tower in 2015 says it was the 2nd century AD), and has grown and developed as the newest research institution.

The Clock Tower's sphere of influence is in Western Europe, and 90% of Western European magicians choose the Clock Tower.

Compared to the outdated and wandering sea, this place is full of brand-new theories.

The Clock Tower is now the central hub of the Mage's Association, or rather, the Mage's Association itself.

Nine out of ten magicians in Western Europe choose the Clock Tower. It has branches all over the world, and after vetting qualifications, soul color, and registering, one officially becomes a member of the association.

Magicians from all over the world gather here and study magic day and night, while also working hard to bring down other factions, compete for power, and obtain budgets.

The organization's structure is complex and strange, and it can never be called a unified force, but their research in magic is indeed the most advanced in the world.

The Clock Tower also manages the patents related to magic, and the Tohsaka family's current finances are maintained by the patent fees they have accumulated so far.

The Magic Association consists of three major organizations: the Clock Tower, the Atlas Institute, and the Wandering Sea.

However, when people talk about the Magic Association now, they usually mean the "Clock Tower" itself.

Because in this modern world, the "Clock Tower" is seen by almost everyone as the true headquarters of the Magic Association, a major force in the magic world, and a school that has produced many famous magicians.

However, behind its long history, there is also some darkness.

However, in Western Europe, there are still magicians with nine levels who choose the "Clock Tower".

After having their qualifications and soul color checked and being registered, one can become a member of the Magic Association.

As long as one possesses the qualifications of a magician and has a clean background, there shouldn't be too many obstacles to joining the Magic Association.

The prerequisite is that you have money. The large classrooms are open to all students, but the tuition is quite high.

In addition to magic courses, basic subjects also include self-defense courses.

In addition, the Department of Law and Politics opens its doors to those who aspire to become politicians.

To the free magicians who are not affiliated with the association, it is an authoritative group that is buried in internal struggles day and night; to the future magicians who fantasize about the future, it is an academic city that is desirable for research and rise to prominence; to the senior magicians who are buried in research day and night, it is just a routine of sharing facilities, which is quite convenient and unremarkable.

At this very moment, inside the Clock Tower, a group of Brand magicians are gathered and holding an emergency meeting.

Magicians are typically assigned ranks commensurate with their abilities, from highest to lowest:

Grand

Color (Brand)

Pride

Fes (offering seat)

Open position (Cause)

eldest son (Count)

Frame

Although the highest rank is designated as "Grand", there are only a handful of magicians in the world who can actually reach this rank. Therefore, in the Clock Tower, "Brand" is already the highest rank.

It was precisely because of the unusual magical fluctuations that had recently occurred in Fuyuki City, and the subsequent report from the magicians of the local magic association, that ten of the twelve monarchs were present at this meeting.

Of these, only Marisbury Animusfia, the monarch of the Celestial Sciences, and Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald of the Mineral Sciences were absent.

Marisbury Animusfia has been living in seclusion in the mountains for many years and is not very involved in the affairs of the "Clock Tower," while Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, the monarch of the Minerals Department, had already gone to Fuyuki City before this and his whereabouts are still unknown.

"Everyone, we are gathered here today because..."

"So, I'm sure you all knew this before you came, right?" An old woman spoke first.

She is the current monarch of the Creation Department, Inolei Baljereta Atolohom, a gorgeous old lady with short hair.

The one who responded to Inole Baruyeletta Atolohom was an incredibly strong man, whose neat suit was bulging from his muscular body.

The man's name was Magdaniel Tramberio Elrod, and he was the head of the three noble families of Tramberio.

Magdaniel Tramberio Elrod is both the pinnacle of the democratic faction and one of the three great noble families. He dominates the First Division, the entire foundation (Mistil).

"The Servant summoned by the Einzbern family during the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City has already boarded a plane to London and should arrive soon."

"Although Servants are just ancient heroic spirits from the past, their power is extremely strong. This trip to London is probably not for tourism."

Marg Daniel Tramberlio Elrod's remarks caused some people to change their expressions slightly.

Just as some magicians whose strength was only at the 'Pride' level were starting to panic, a woman spoke coldly.

"You're so easily frightened by a Servant? I bet your monarch titles are all for nothing, aren't they?"

The woman was Bartholomew Loreleia, the current head of one of the three noble families, Bartholomew, and was regarded as "the greatest magician of the modern era." She served as the assistant to the headmaster of the Clock Tower.

Barthelo Loreleia is the current Grand Marshal of the Choir Clone Squadron, and her magical attribute is wind.

He had previously defeated two of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles and extradited them to the Church's vampire hunters.

He is an orthodox magician who does not possess any special magic, but because his abilities in all aspects have reached the pinnacle, he can achieve excellent results in any situation.

Among magicians, there is a group of people who only seek pure power and do not pursue any special abilities; she is the perfect example of this group.

Loreleia, the strongest magician herself, led a carefully selected elite magician force of fifty to drive out and annihilate the enemy. Her elegant figure was like that of a young monarch conducting a symphony orchestra.

Although the team members standing behind Loreleia were all top-notch magicians, even without them, Loreleia was capable of confronting a Dead Apostle of the Twenty-Seven Ancestor level head-on.

Loreleia's words made most of the people present look even more gloomy.

“Barthemello, we cannot agree with what you said. Not all monarchs have achieved their current status through warfare.”

Chapter 65 Saber: Hunger is the greatest enemy!

As Inole Baruyeletta Atolohom spoke, beautiful stripes flowed between the gaps of his index fingers.

This person is the head of the three noble families of Balyereta, the monarch of the Creation Department (Baluye), the magician of the highest rank of Color Rank (Brand), and is known as a famous heroine of the Clock Tower.

Although Inolei, who looks to be over seventy, has a face full of wrinkles, she gives people an impression of vitality. Her silver hair is as noble as a wolf's, and she dresses fashionably, with green as the main color of her clothes.

Just as the two were about to start arguing, an elderly man, almost on his deathbed, gently tapped the table, stopping them from arguing.

"Stop arguing. We should focus on how to deal with those two guys heading straight for the Clock Tower." Rufreus slowly took out a notebook.

He is Rufreus Nazele Euriffis, the monarch of the Spellcasting Department. As the head of the Spellcasting Department who manipulates countless spirits, he himself exudes an aura of the dead.

He had previously placed high hopes on Kenneth, proposing a political marriage between him and his daughter Sora.

Because in Rufreus's view, Kenneth, a member of the El-Melloi faction, the monarch of the Minerals Department, possesses magical skill and exceptional talent, and is very likely to reach the Root in this lifetime.

However, after Kenneth took his daughter Sora to Fuyuki City not long ago, there has been no news of him since, which has been a source of great concern for Rufreus.

Rufreus's gaze shifted, and he raised his hand to point to the notes in front of him, where intelligence was rapidly arriving bit by bit.

"Based on the information we have so far, the Saber summoned by Einzbern is extremely powerful."
