Abnormal Moon

Kasumigaoka Utaha yawned and simply lay down on the table to catch up on sleep. She was exhausted last night and severely sleep-deprived, so she wanted to take this opportunity to recharge.

If Ichika and Miku forgo the competition tonight out of consideration for their sisters, then it will probably be she and Hayasaka Ai who are exhausted tonight.

Aozaki Touko wasn't keen on this kind of thing, Tohsaka Rin was busy with government affairs, and Roy's current fighting strength wasn't enough for him to handle it alone.

That works out perfectly.

She lost last night.

I'm going to make Hayasaka Ai cry first tonight!

…………

"Are you all here?"

When Roy arrived at the classroom door of Ilya, he immediately noticed an indescribable atmosphere permeating the room.

"What happened here? Why do you all look so shocked?"

Under his questioning.

Kasumigaoka Utaha lay motionless on the table, fast asleep.

Ichika wore a bitter smile, while Miku hid behind her.

Nino, Satsuki, Takina, and Chitsuka—the four beautiful girls—all turned to look at him with shocked yet strange eyes upon seeing him appear.

"It's nothing, Roy, just a small matter, don't worry about it."

Ilya, with a satisfied expression as if her desires had been fully fulfilled, walked over with her hands behind her back and a smug gait.

"Is there something you need here?"

"Yes, there is something."

Roy glanced at the four girls, Chizuka, whose reactions were extremely strange. He noticed that their eyes were subtly darting away and their faces were flushed to varying degrees. He tilted his head in surprise.

But since Ilya said it was a small matter, he didn't need to worry about it.

Ilya is currently very enthusiastic about her position as the head steward of her harem, and I believe she can handle it well.

"I'm going on a business trip in a couple of days, so I'm letting you know in advance."

"Business trip? Is it to another city again?"

Upon hearing this, Roy smiled and shook his head.

"No, this time we're going to other worlds."

Chapter 328 Characteristics Rooted in Concepts

"While Tiamat's powers work on all basic organisms, affecting everything from muscles and bone marrow to genes and cells at the macroscopic and microscopic levels, they do not include the modification of the soul."

"I was able to decipher the real person's technique, probably because something else changed, right?"

Roy stood in the courtyard, his figure as upright as a pine tree. Although he spoke in a calculated sentence structure, his tone was very certain.

The next moment, his phone beeped with a message notification.

"That's right."

The phone had no signal at all, so the person who sent him the message was obviously the source himself.

"So, what caused this phenomenon—my change or your change?"

"Both sides."

The root cause provides a concise answer.

The "changes I" that Roy refers to are his own special adaptability, which allows him to adapt to the rules of any world and to the special properties and power systems of any world.

Judging from his previous trip to the City of Learning and War, where he adapted to the Stellar Force as soon as he landed, his adaptation to the world's rules was instantaneous, without any process.

In other words, there is no need for a few minutes or days to adapt; he simply went to that world, and the moment he arrived, he had already adapted.

However, judging from the fact that his battle with the real person did not allow him to master the power of magic, he could not obtain the rules of the world to which that person belonged by fighting against transmigrators who appeared in other worlds. It seems that if he wants to adapt to the rules of other worlds, he must go to other worlds to adapt to them in person.

What he meant by "my changes" was whether he had unknowingly adapted to some incredible rules.

And "your changes" naturally refers to the Type-Moon world itself.

The reason Roy was sent to explore other worlds was for his own evolution. Therefore, the Type-Moon world itself is not static; it is constantly evolving—the fact that weapons like the Blaze, which require Panacea as their power source, can now be used in this world is proof of this.

But in fact, the source of Roy's ability to break through Tiamat's power and manipulate the souls of others lies not only in the Type-Moon universe, but also in Roy himself.

He was a real person who transmigrated—no, it should be said that he was captured and brought to the Type-Moon world. He actually contained a part of the rules of the Cursed Retribution world. The origin of Type-Moon would not let go of this part of the rules, and had long since integrated this part of the rules into his body.

In other words, the magical abilities of real people have become compatible with the operating rules of this world.

However, the real person is a cursed spirit, and the world rules he carries are incomplete.

"As for your changes, since I can't see through you, I can only speculate. It seems that the power from Tiamat within you is resonating with you."

"Please restate it in simple terms."

"That power is becoming yours."

"While you could use that power before, it was essentially a gift from Tiamat. Once Tiamat breaks the contract with you, you will immediately lose that power."

"But now that power seems to be gradually becoming your own, and has nothing to do with Tiamat anymore. In the process, through the filtering of your special adaptive ability, this power may have undergone some new changes."

"In terms of the result, your current body modification ability has already included the modification of the soul shape, making you more in line with the concept of the 'Goddess of Creation'."

"In other words, in the process of my body modification ability becoming my own power, it has undergone a kind of evolution through the modification of my special adaptive ability?"

"This is my guess. It might be some kind of conceptual evolution. Your adaptability might not come from the physical level, but from the conceptual level... As someone who has no feelings whatsoever, I'm actually looking forward to seeing what you will become in the future."

Roy's expression shifted, as if he had suddenly thought of something.

correct!

When he transmigrated to the City of Learning and War, and his magic eye evolved to adapt to the rules, he wondered if his magic eye would eventually be able to control all powers that conformed to the concept of "technique".

Now, it seems that his body modification ability has evolved to be more in line with the concept of a "creator goddess".

"Adaptability rooted in the concept itself... I see, it is indeed possible."

Considering both of the above, this is indeed a very likely speculation, and Roy couldn't help but nod in agreement.

If it's true, his special adaptability is indeed rooted in the concept itself—the concept he's rooted in is clearly not the superficial concept of the Type-Moon world, but some deeper concept—and Roy himself can't help but be filled with anticipation about what he will become in the future.

"Get ready, the second time travel is about to begin."

At this moment, another message from Root interrupted Roy's thoughts.

He looked at the information displayed on the spatial window and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.

"A second time travel, that was pretty fast... Could it be referring to the world the real person is in?"

"That's right."

"Although you have grasped some of the rules of that world because of the real people, these rules are incomplete. You need to explore it and bring back a more complete set of rules."

"I expected it to be like this."

Roy gave a noncommittal hum.

"However, this is also good for me, so it won't hurt to go. But why now?"

The real person has been in this world for quite some time, probably no more than a year, but at least six months.

If a more complete set of rules for the Curse Return World is needed, then he could simply go to the Curse Return World as his first stop, instead of learning the Battle World first.

"One reason is that your previous dream connection with the Academy City was not stable. The connection in the dream may only be temporary and could become untraceable at any time."

"Another reason is that the world has hidden itself, and it couldn't be found before."

"Hiding?"

Roy's mouth dropped open slightly.

Is this world really that humane?

"My speculation is that His world may have lost a very important person, not this real person, but a crucial person who was enough to touch His sore spot, making Him suddenly neurotic, like a hedgehog, not only hiding Himself but also becoming very vigilant."

If the speculation about the root cause is true, then it is indeed not impossible, if the world itself can be described as neurotic.

In a world like Type-Moon, which is vast and has a multitude of protagonists, any era or parallel universe could produce a whole host of protagonists. So even if it loses a dozen or so protagonists, it wouldn't be a significant loss for it; it would be just a drop in the ocean.

In a world like Battle City, while the protagonist Ayato Amagiri is important, his existence is not the center of the entire world. In comparison, beings like Fan Xinglu are no less important than him. In addition, the world's consciousness is not outwardly apparent, and perhaps because Stella came to this world as an exchange student, the Battle City world is peaceful and tranquil.

But for other worlds, losing a major character is not a friendly thing.

Especially for some smaller worlds, losing a crucial figure can be a devastating blow, no less than a knife to the heart.

Chapter 329 The Second Departure

"Since He's so neurotic, how did you find Him?"

I need to give you a heads-up.
