Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

41. Create a singularity? I'll create a Lostbelt!

The technology Chaldea needed had actually been prepared for decades.

First, there was the computer familiar Laplace, and then there was the simulated Earth environment model Chaldea. These were all completed long ago. However, due to funding issues, the Chaldea project has not been implemented. In addition, the operation of Chaldea also requires a large amount of financial investment, so Marisbury's project has been stuck at this stage.

He needs to invest a lot of money for this.

But over the years he has traveled to many places, and almost everyone is skeptical of his plan.

After all, whether it's magicians, conglomerates, or even nations, they would all be curious about one thing: is Chaldea, built with such a large investment, really worthwhile?

Most people just treat the idea of ​​human survival as a joke, while some think it's a crisis theory promoted by Maris Billy to attract investment.

Maris Billy himself was quite helpless about this.

But there's nothing we can do; no one is willing to invest this huge amount of money.

As the theory of astrophysics was delayed for so long, it was gradually promoted as a theoretical exercise that was merely theoretical.

Maris Billy himself was almost ready to give up.

At that very moment, the rise of the Umbrella Corporation prompted him to tentatively submit an application.

His application was written very casually.

He was also prepared to abandon the plan if he failed to secure investment this time.

but

He never expected that all his carefully crafted applications would be rejected. He hadn't had much hope this time, but instead, it was approved!

This made Maris Billy feel unreal at first, and then excited.

He then went to the Umbrella Corporation, intending to meet Roland.

While on the road, Marisbury kept thinking about how to talk to Roland about Chaldea.

He first considered the continuation of human order, then the role of Chaldea as an observatory, and further expanded upon this by exploring Chaldea's ability to simulate the Earth's environment. He believed that this could be used to deduce potential problems on Earth, and even to monitor the entire world...

It can be said that through so many years of failed attempts to attract investment, Maris Billy, this pure magician, has learned how to talk in a way that can capture the attention of wealthy people.

Even so, Marisbury was still somewhat uneasy.

After all, he wasn't someone who had just learned these things.

But before that, no matter what he said, he couldn't get such a large investment in return.

This time, he truly saw hope.

But...can it really work?

Maris Billy came to Roland with this in mind.

But before he could finish his long speech, Roland only heard a few key words and then nodded at him.

“Alright, Animusphia, I have a general idea of ​​what you’re thinking, so my response remains the same as before—I’m in favor of the Chaldea Project.”

Maris Billy was somewhat taken aback when he heard Roland agree so readily.

Roland laughed when he saw him like that.

“Animusfia, I know what you’re surprised about, but you still don’t really understand the people who are going to invest in you.”

"Oh?"

Maris Billy paused for a moment, while Roland continued speaking.

"You think you're attracting investment, so you try your best to do the same things as others. You think that as long as you can explain the value of Chaldea, someone will be attracted."

"But in reality, you've overlooked the most important issue."

"That is the amount of money Chaldea needs to consume, which far exceeds what ordinary investors can afford. Among the group of people you approached before, it seems that government agencies may not have been completely persuaded by you, while the others were probably convinced by you, but the amount of money you asked for was too much for them to come up with."

“But I am different—investing in Chaldea is just a small amount of money for me.”

"It's like you casually go out for lunch. Would you really overthink it like that?"

Upon hearing Roland's words, Maris Billy understood.

It turns out that the reason he was rejected before wasn't entirely because he failed to explain the value of Chaldea; it was also because a large portion of those who seemed wealthy were actually poor!

Look, when it comes to the Umbrella Corporation, the real wealthy people, they immediately agree!

Look at their vision, their boldness, their wealth. No wonder they're rich!

You deserve to be poor!

Having thought this through, Maris Billy understood, and Roland continued speaking.

“Investment is fine, we can invest all the amount you want—but in exchange, since we’ve spent money, Caleb should at least belong to us.”

"And although I don't know exactly why you're so determined to complete Chaldea, one reason I invested in Chaldea was because I saw the potential in spirit particle transfer technology, and I also have some things I want to accomplish using spirit particle transfer..."

Upon hearing Roland's words, Maris Billy fell silent.

He stared at Roland for a while, then let out a long sigh.

“In that case, I’ll be frank, Mr. Roland. I’ve already told you some of the concepts about Chaldea—so if I told you that I want to build Chaldea and use it to create singularities… of course, I’m doing this to save humanity, would you accept that?”

After saying that, Maris Billy stared intently at Roland.

Roland shook his head slightly.

Seeing Roland's reaction, Maris Billy sighed inwardly, thinking that this attempt to raise investment might fail again.

Indeed, his idea was truly shocking.

Singularity... that's already the most modest explanation he could give.

What he actually wanted was to observe the Lostbelts!

His family had previously discovered Earth's impending doom through celestial observations, and since then, they have been preparing for Chaldea in order to prevent this doom, or rather, to provide humanity with a completely new future after it has occurred...

In his view, this kind of thing is correct.

But even he himself knew that this was a possibility that most humans could not accept.

But just when Marissbury thought he had failed again, Roland spoke up.

"Singularity? Too small! Animusfia, I must say, what I need is not something as insignificant as Singularity 5.9. I invested in Caleb, but to create Lostbelts!"

Um! ?

Maris Billy was stunned.

Roland continued speaking.

"Although I don't know your purpose, I don't care what kind of singularity you want to create or anything else—but my purpose in investing in Chaldea is to create Lostbelts. Your question is nothing to me. Now it's my turn to ask you, Animusphalia. If I were to use Chaldea to create Lostbelts, could you accept it?"

Roland's words made Maris Billy laugh.

He was a pure magician, so he was laughing very happily at that moment.

And naturally, he only had one answer.

"I accept it, of course I can accept it!"

As he nodded, Roland smiled as well.

"Well, happy cooperation~"

"Happy cooperation!"

....

42. You're playing pretty weirdly!

Altruchi, the Black Knight, the White Knight, and Fou—the four of them arrived in Fuyuki City.

"This is the city where the Umbrella Corporation is located. It doesn't look like anything special—but we're in a much worse state than this unremarkable city."

Eltrauge stood at the front, arms crossed, sighing in amazement.

This is no way.

She had planned to get to Fuyuki City quickly, but she was discovered by the White Wings when she left Europe.

The leader was the tenth ancestor, Nero Chaos.

That's why they've ended up in this state.

"That guy... I probably couldn't beat him in a one-on-one fight, but if it were a two-on-one between me and Stuart, we would definitely be the winners... It's just a pity that the other side has more manpower."

White Knight Brad sighed in this way.

There is nothing we can do about this.

While Brad also possesses a Reality Marble, Nero Chaos is more like a mobile Reality Marble.

The fact that the opponent could continuously combine 666 kinds of beast factors to create beasts was terrifying enough, and then he was accompanied by more than 30,000 elite Death Apostles.

"Don't say such shameful things. I would have a hard time beating Nero Chaos in a one-on-one fight. So we were supposed to have more people than us, and the other side could have done the same. We just lost because we weren't strong enough."

Black Knight Stuart had a cold expression and shook his head slightly at Brad's words, indicating his denial.
