Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

As for contracts involving exchanging one's life for another... Bazett didn't care about that.

Ultimately, it's just about changing jobs.

However, Bazett was still somewhat concerned about what his job would entail.

If it's still a fight, then she's fine.

But it would be troublesome if it were a job she wasn't good at.

However, Bazett himself didn't really believe that the other party would assign him some random job after saving him.

After all, the other party saved him in the Ghost Mansion. So whether the other party came to save him intentionally or unintentionally, he must have known him and come looking for him at that time.

If you know yourself, you'll understand that apart from fighting, she doesn't have any other outstanding qualities.

So the job shouldn't be a problem, right?

The only thing to be careful about is that I am the designated seal executor of the Magic Association, so if I switch to working here, I will have to deal with the matters of the Magic Association to avoid causing trouble for the new boss as soon as I arrive.

With that thought in mind, Bazett pushed open the door.

Then she saw the man who had saved her standing by the bed, stroking a woman's back, while two other women watched from the side.

Forehead...

Bazett, who previously thought his job would be fine, is now starting to have doubts.

If my future job is this...

So, whether you're a bystander or a participant—it seems like you're not up to the task!

She's not suited for this job!

......

18. Joining a god-tier group might be based on combat strength.

Bazett was still struggling with her decision when she realized that Roland wasn't embarrassed at all. After seeing her, he simply said, "You woke up pretty quickly," and then invited her into the room.

At this point, Bazett felt a little uneasy, but he still didn't refuse.

Then, while Roland was opening the ascension ladder for Medea, he talked to Bazett about the God Group and the two benefits that the God Group could currently provide to its members.

Immortality and the ladder to advancement.

This also made Bazett realize what Roland and his group were doing.

However, compared to this, Bazett was more surprised by something else.

That is

"Am I immortal now?"

Bazett felt a little unreal.

Roland was about to agree immediately after hearing Bazett's words, but then he suddenly remembered that Bazett was not actually immortal.

When Roland recruited Bazett into the God Group, he didn't offer her the longevity benefits!

Because she had lost her hand at that time.

After enjoying the benefits of longevity, this power will directly restore Bazett to her peak condition, that is, her severed hand will grow back, and then her original severed hand will disappear.

However, the newly grown hand will inevitably lack Command Seals; once the original hand disappears, Lancer's Command Seals will also disappear.

Therefore, in order to preserve the Command Seals, Roland used the healing magic on his Mystic Code to help Bazett prolong her life, thus not directly sharing the benefits of longevity with her.

However, after Bazett's reminder, Roland turned on Bazett's longevity benefit option on the [God Group System] operation page, and then nodded at her as if nothing had happened, continuing from what she had just said.

"Yes, you are now immortal."

After receiving Roland's response, Bazette tried to sense his own state, but he couldn't feel anything different.

Seeing her like this, Roland knew all too well what Bazette was thinking.

After all, he had the same reaction when he first learned that he had become immortal.

So at that moment, he spoke to Bazett.

"Don't worry about it too much. This kind of thing may be a bit ahead of humans, but for the gods, immortality is a very common thing in mythology."

"Although the pantheon centered around me is indeed terribly empty right now, it is still a pantheon after all."

"Now that you've joined the divine group, you're one of its original members. As the divine group grows stronger, you might even become its chief god in the future. So, if you don't feel the reality of immortality, just pretend this benefit doesn't exist. In a hundred or a thousand years, time will eventually give you the reality you lack now."

"As for now... come here, I'll open the promotion ladder for you first."

Hearing Roland say that, Bazett's previous thoughts were completely interrupted.

She blinked as she looked at Medea, who had straightened her clothes.

"Jacket..."

"That's a necessary step."

"......All right."

Bazett ultimately did not refuse.

It's unclear whether she was too submissive or whether the legitimate reason of opening the promotion ladder convinced her.

In any case, Roland also helped her open the ladder to advancement.

The initial boost from promotion ladders is minimal.

For Artoria, who is Roland's Servant and has all A-rank attributes, with her luck reaching A+, these attributes are insignificant. What is truly important is her future in the Ascension Ladder.

However, for Bai Mao, Medea, and Bazette, this level of increase was already quite significant.

Medea had never felt her body so light.

Bai Mao had never felt so energetic.

Bazett is good in every way...

Bazett's original fighting style was to empower himself with runes and magic, then engage in close combat with his opponent, and finally kill him with the Reverse Light Sword once the activation conditions were met.

Therefore, the increase in her basic physical attributes greatly enhances her combat power, and the increase in magic power also helps her use magic and activate the Reverse Light Sword.

She was enhanced in almost every aspect.

According to official assessments, Bazett originally possessed combat power comparable to that of ordinary Heroic Spirits. Roland estimated that once she fully digested the Lv1 boost, she would be able to consistently unleash Heroic Spirit-level combat power.

What's more, she's now on my side.

Given her fighting style, if Medea were to create a few more magical costumes for her that are different from her trump card, the Reverse Light Sword, and can also be used in regular battles, then her combat capabilities would likely have room for further improvement.

Thinking about Bazett's combat power reminded Roland of his previous speculations about Bazett's qualifications to join the Gods.

He felt that whether someone was qualified to join the Gods might depend on their combat strength.

The reason why Shirou Emiya is not up to par is that he is not strong enough at this stage. Although Kirei Kotomine is much stronger than Shirou Emiya at this stage, his combat power is still not enough.

Although Bazett fell victim to Kirei Kotomine's sneak attack, Bazett's fighting strength was still greater than Kirei Kotomine's.

She at least reached the tail end of the Heroic Spirit level of combat power.

In Prisma Illya, when she fights Illya and Miyu, she gives off the feeling of a final boss.

While Hyakko and Medea may not be as strong as Heroic Spirits who excel in combat, they each have their own strengths and their combat power is definitely at the level of Heroic Spirits. Moreover, they are not the weakest among Heroic Spirits.

There's not much to say about Artoria.

Although her combat strength fluctuates, she is by no means weak among the Heroic Spirits of Pan-Human History.

For a detailed explanation, just look at the Holy Grail War in Ace Combat, where Mordred, who is slightly weaker than Artoria, fights against Astolfo and Frankenstein.

If it weren't for Frankenstein's Noble Phantasm, Lightning Tree of Crucifixion, being a self-destruction attack, it would have been a complete rout for Mordred in a one-against-two situation.

The sense of oppression is overwhelming.

Moreover, even though Frankenstein self-destructed, Mordred was still unharmed after using a Command Spell, and didn't even lose her fighting ability.

As for Artoria... her AoE attack is stronger than Mordred's, her stats are higher, and she might even be able to unleash Avalon explosively, making her even more outrageous than Mordred.

However, whether joining the God Group is based on combat strength is still just speculation.

Roland wants to take another look.

Look at the other Servants, and also the other Masters... If possible, it would be best to meet Aozaki Touko, the Grand Magus, as well as Beo the Golden Wolf, the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles, and so on.

If it's confirmed that only those with combat power at least at the Heroic Spirit level are eligible, and those who haven't reached the Heroic Spirit level are ineligible, then Roland can probably be identified.

After opening the promotion ladder for Bazett, Roland went downstairs to eat with them.

After all, the meal was prepared before the promotion ladder was opened.

If you don't allow everyone to eat after you've unlocked everyone's promotion ladder, then Artoria might have something to say.

To be honest, ever since he summoned Artoria, Roland, who used to have irregular eating habits and only ate a few meals a day, has started to experience a disciplined life of eating three meals a day on time.

When she's not fighting, she's practically a mealtime reminder assistant.

Unless something urgent happens, I can't forget to eat a single meal!

After dinner, everyone went about their own business. Roland was about to tell Bazette about her time with the gods so she would have something to do, but Medea ran out of the basement not long after she went in.
