Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Because the fragments are too close to the ground, if they collide with the energy torrent unleashed by the Holy Sword at that location, then something like the Fuyuki Calamity ten years ago would definitely happen.

A large fire could burn the surrounding forests to the ground.

Even having Iskandar pull Artoria and the remains into the Reality Marble didn't work.

Because the spatial fragments on the wreckage had long been pieced together in a chaotic and haphazard way under the residual power, it had become a heterogeneous place with disordered coordinates on a spatial level.

Even if the mental world of the Realized Boundary is not blown away by the residual power on the wreckage, it cannot pull the wreckage into it.

So

"Wait a minute, Artoria, leave it to me."

Roland patted Artoria on the shoulder and then walked up to her.

Artoria was somewhat surprised that Roland had a way to prevent the wreckage from falling to the ground, but her intuition allowed her to discern whether Roland was telling the truth or not.

Without a doubt—Roland didn't lie to her.

So even though Artoria hesitated for a moment, trusting Roland and her intuition, she put down the holy sword she had raised high.

"Wait, Roland, you're not a Servant, you're a magus, right? This isn't the time to be reckless. That kind of thing is beyond the capabilities of a magus!"

At this point, the wreckage had become so large that even Ilya could see some of it with the naked eye.

Under its immense power, the trees on the ground began to bend backward in large numbers. It is estimated that if the debris had been any closer, a significant portion of this forest would have been blown away or ignited by the heat.

"An ordinary magician certainly wouldn't be able to do it, but..."

As Roland spoke these words in front of everyone, his shadow swiftly swept towards the wreckage.

That wasn't a Shadow Wolf, but Roland's Shadow Puppet.

"...I'm different."

Roland looked at Ilya, but he gently raised his hand, and his naturally extended finger pointed directly at the debris falling from the sky. At that moment, Roland's shadow puppet was exactly in the path of the debris, with its back to Roland's pointing finger.

The wreckage, the puppet, Roland—all lined up in a straight line at this moment.

The magic of imaginary numbers has always had a major problem.

That is, users of imaginary number magic can only open channels in the imaginary space, and the channel itself is like a door, a one-way door, which can only be used for passage and has no other function.

This is also the biggest weakness of the imaginary number magic.

But this is also where the imaginary number magic is most flexible.

Just like now.

In front of Roland's fingers, his shadow puppet began to twist in a spiral shape along the path of the wreckage.

The barriers surrounding it constantly change, piece together, and recombine, causing the channels in the imaginary space to open continuously at precisely calculated angles under the influence of these barriers.

The door itself serves no purpose other than to allow passage.

However, depending on the door's direction, angle, and position, if the target is locked in, then the phenomenon of a door swallowing a person is possible.

That can be done simply by throwing the door over someone's head to open it.

The left and right sides of the door remain unchanged, but gravity will exert a downward force on the door.

That's how it is right now.

It is a combination and cycle of countless such simple steps.

The channel in the imaginary space, having been calculated by Roland, began to twist inward in a spiral.

The force brought about by gravity expands and grows larger and larger in this cycle.

The entire phantom puppet was twisted and deformed by this force.

At first, you could still make out the human shape, but it quickly became unrecognizable.

The shadow transformed into a black vortex, and under the increasing force, its speed increased, eventually transforming into a black sphere in a rapid transformation, as if opening a hole in the world!

This rapid rotation, following a precisely calculated pattern, pulls the ever-growing force into the channel of imaginary space, thus giving the channel of imaginary space a powerful suction force!

If it were a normal person, they would have died the moment their body was twisted into a distorted shape—but the Shadow Puppet is a shadow body and will not die from simple pulling or squeezing.

If it were a normal imaginary magician, it would be impossible to open so many imaginary channels—even Roland could only calculate these channels simultaneously around himself.

If the Shadow Puppet itself did not possess magic power, then even Roland's magic power would not be able to meet the requirements of this operation.

If Roland and the Shadow Puppet hadn't been able to act separately but with one mind, Roland wouldn't have been able to use barrier magic from a distance to control the ever-expanding and enormous suction force, and make various adjustments in a timely manner based on the Shadow Puppet's real-time feedback.

If Roland hadn't possessed six eyes, such an operation, requiring extremely high precision, would have been virtually impossible.

And what if all of these things were to become a reality now?

The result is—

A black hole appeared, followed by stones and dust rising from the ground, and then trees that had been pushed aside by the debris were uprooted by the enormous suction force!

Matter began to be devoured by it, and then even light could not escape its pull.

Thus, within the area planned by Roland, the image began to distort and blur. Anything that entered this area would change its shape, becoming larger the further out it was and smaller the closer it was to the black hole.

Even the falling debris was no exception!

The world seems to be collapsing towards that black hole!

Whether it's the imposing presence or those haphazardly pieced-together spatial fragments, all of it is meaningless within that range.

Once that suction force took shape, everything was pulled along equally.

If it is not sturdy, it will be crushed by the force of the hole the moment it gets close, and then swallowed up as debris.

Solid objects, such as wreckage and spatial fragments, also became smaller and faster as they approached the cave entrance.

Finally, the entire thing was sunk into the imaginary space, which resembled a trash can...

Not even a speck of dust will be left behind!

Seeing the wreckage swallowed up, Roland immediately removed the Shadow Puppet. The Shadow Puppet disappeared, and the black hole vanished instantly. Without its support, all the imaginary channels closed in one go. Then, at that location, a spatial fluctuation like water ripples began to spread, calming everything down.

Judging from this scene, the wreckage was not so much blocked as it vanished into thin air!

If it weren't for the fact that some of the trees in that area had been eaten away, and that there were still many holes left on the ground after the large trees were dug out, it would be as if nothing had happened here—it would be unimaginable that there was a piece of planetary debris falling from the sky just now!

For a moment, the voices of everyone who had witnessed it all beside Roland seemed to have been sucked away by the magic trick, leaving a still, stagnant silence.

"Miniature black holes".

Roland broke the silence by speaking at that moment.

"Although it's a bit too exaggerated to call it by such a name given its current size, I can't find any other name that would be more suitable."

As he said this, he rubbed his hands together as if cleaning off dust.

The others looked at the smiling Roland and didn't know what to say for a moment.

On Roland's side, after dealing with the remains, he received a message from Bai Mao.

Upon meeting Ilya and Hercules, Roland used Medea's telepathic magic to change the missions of the others.

Bai Mao was still in charge of intelligence gathering, but he broadened the scope to find out where Gilgamesh had gone.

Bazett joined forces with Cú Chulainn and Iskandar, defending the surrounding area while also being ready to provide support at any time—once Gilgamesh turned around, the 'sneak attack plan' with the three of them as the organizing point would immediately commence.

At this moment, Bazett and the others did not see Gilgamesh turn around, but the Hundred Faces made a discovery.

It wasn't that she saw Gilgamesh.

Instead, she saw a woman who had collapsed on the ground, seemingly due to severe exhaustion of her magic.

If nothing unexpected happens, that woman is going to die.

After all, it's terrifying enough to drain a magician's magic power, let alone the fact that this woman seems to have overdrawn a considerable amount of her magic power. It's a miracle that she's still alive.

After Hyakko gave a preliminary description of the other person's appearance, Roland thought it must be Rin Tohsaka...

After following the Shadow Wolf of a Hundred Faces to the scene, Roland found that it was indeed as he had guessed.

The only difference is that, although it is Rin Tohsaka, the group indicates that she is qualified to join.

This reminded Roland of the golden planetary phantom he had just seen.

The only one capable of creating such a thing is probably Ishtar—after all, in the FGO game anime, she also uses the concept of Venus as an arrow.

In addition, Ishtar also possessed other people to descend in FSF...

Having some suspicions, Roland walked to the side of the unconscious Rin Tohsaka. Then, his divinity emanated as his golden eyes burned, and Roland directly extended an invitation to the unconscious Rin Tohsaka.

"Want to join?"

At Roland's voice, Rin Tohsaka, who had been unconscious, opened her eyes unnaturally and sat up just as unnaturally.

She was momentarily stunned, while Roland quickly explained the current situation.

When Rin Tohsaka learned that she had been awakened using a special method and that she was on the verge of death due to excessive magical energy depletion, she first checked and, upon confirming that Roland hadn't lied to her, she sighed...

"I'll join!"

She doesn't want to die!

After giving her answer, she lay down again and returned to a coma. However, the power of the gods was flowing through her body, and she looked completely different from before.

Although she didn't wake up immediately, she was actually restored to a fully recovered state.
