Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

After all, in addition to the death line, she can also see the death point, and at the most outrageous time, she can even see the death point in the air.

Then, because of the existence of the Root, she can use the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception without burning her brain.

If you replace it with the other one who has the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, their brains will be overheated after just a little bit of use, and that would be a huge problem.

Furthermore, if the Root Form, that is, the true Ryougi Shiki rather than the Shiki's personality, were to emerge, Roland would remember her battle record very clearly.

There's not much else to say. In FGO, she only appeared briefly before nearly capturing the most famous avenger in the world with a throwing knife during a chase.

She and that modern magician who can easily use magic from the Age of Gods, is immune to the deadly poison of Silent Hassan, can subdue the alchemist who developed the Philosopher's Stone just by talking to him, and even has powers of their own—they are practically bugs among modern people.

Then Gaia and Alaya didn't repair them, they just left them as they were.

It's practically the treatment of the world's elite.

The British were so envious they cried.

With this in mind, Roland and Aozaki Touko arrived at the entrance of the hospital where Ryougi Shiki was. Roland did not refute Aozaki Touko's words, but simply agreed with her casually.

"Alright, let's go. Since you have this plan, let's go and awaken Ryougi Shiki first."

....

9. A Challenge from the Ancient Bird

It's clear that Aozaki Touko is taking good care of Ryougi Shiki.

On the top floor of the hospital, in the luxury wards, turn left and go to the end of the corridor. Here, Aozaki Touko has added special suggestive magic to the wards. Ryougi Shiki is in one of them, and she also left behind a considerable number of dolls here.

These dolls work at the hospital as normal people, and also take care of Ryougi Shiki.

"After I confirmed that the doctors at the hospital couldn't do anything about Ryougi Shiki's condition and that they really couldn't wake her up, I came up with this design. Fortunately, Ryougi Shiki doesn't need much care. A few years ago, she entered a very special state, as if there was a continuous force maintaining her life, so that she wouldn't die even if she didn't eat or drink."

"And her condition is different from that of a normal person. She is now in her twenties, but her body seems to have stopped aging when she was around twenty years old. It was from that time that this task, which was originally just a commission for me with some personal considerations, became quite different."

"If she never wakes up, I plan to take care of her for a hundred years or even longer, so I can see if she is truly immortal."

Aozaki Touko was telling Roland about Ryougi Shiki, and Roland nodded after hearing what she said.

"She really is a promising talent."

Roland's evaluation made Aozaki Touko glance at Ryougi Shiki a few more times.

Members of the God Group like Aozaki Touko know that joining the God Group requires qualifications. Just like Ilya, Roland never invited her to join the God Group before she became the Third Magician, and she was only invited after she achieved the Third Magic.

Roland didn't specify the exact conditions, but Aozaki Touko looked at the group of gods and saw that they were either magicians, fantasy species, or heroic spirits. Even the least powerful of them, Bazett, was known as one of the strongest seal designators in history and a heritage preserver who could use and create special Mystic Codes.

Then there's the thought that a member joining the divine ranks could be like Artoria, who becomes a god through a transformation.

Aozaki Touko judged that the qualifications for joining the God Group should be that one has achieved something or created a legend.

After all, she still remembered that when Roland learned about the special semi-fusion state of Rin Tohsaka and Ishtar 137, he said that Rin Tohsaka was able to join the gods because of the goddess Ishtar.

As for Bazette, it's probably because she's a preserver of the bacteria.

After all, the power of the inheritor of the germ comes from the bloodline.

The mystery of the Age of Gods spread like a virus within these lineages, to the point that someone like Bazett can now create that extremely special Mystic Code—the Reverse Light Sword—by simply dripping blood onto ore and then storing it underground for a month using special techniques.

Even considering unexpected events and failures, only about ten can be made a year, but its power was fully demonstrated when dealing with that Hero King.

To be able to do something like that, there might be something hidden in one's bloodline.

Even just a ray of glory from the age of gods would probably be enough to qualify.

They were all like that, even though they had all achieved a miracle in the field of dolls.

So what's the situation with the Ryougi Shiki right now?

As Aozaki Touko looked at Roland walking up to Ryougi Shiki, she thought of what she had learned about the Ryougi family's ultimate goal during her investigation of the Ryougi family.

Thinking of this, Aozaki Touko's gaze flickered slightly as she looked at Ryougi Shiki, who was still unconscious.

Could it be... that the Ryougi family succeeded?

While Aozaki Touko was lost in thought, Roland had already ignited his divinity and begun calling out Ryougi Shiki's name.

"The Ryougi Shiki, shall we sign a contract?"

Now the group of gods has more than a dozen members, so Roland has seen all sorts of situations.

Ryougi Shiki's situation is different from that of Rin Tohsaka and Ishtar, so there's no need to specifically say "awakening style," just say "awakening Ryougi Shiki."

This is similar to the situation with Bai Mao.

The Ryougi Shiki, also known as the Root Shiki, will not appear. Instead, it will directly become the Human Shiki, which is the situation of the Ryougi Shiki being a deity in the normal sense.

Ryougi Shiki opened her eyes at Roland's voice.

However, instead of sitting up directly, Roland felt pure darkness spreading outwards from her, leaving only himself and Ryougi Shiki lying in the darkness in an instant.

Only then did she sit up and look at me with an expression that was hard to describe as either indifferent or gentle.

"It was you who was awakened. I thought it would be Shiki who was awakened, so before I came, I was thinking about how to persuade her."

Hearing Roland say this, Ryougi Shiki smiled slightly and turned her gaze to Roland.

"I can tell... and you even brought ice cream, strawberry flavored at that—it seems you know more about things than I thought."

Roland shrugged.

"So now that you're out, how about it? Do you want some ice cream?"

Roland took out the strawberry-flavored boxed ice cream he had brought, and Ryougi Shiki naturally took it, then skillfully opened it and took a bite.

"taste good."

Roland wasn't in a hurry, so he waited for her to finish eating all the ice cream before speaking to her.

"So, would you like to join my god-like group?"

Ryougi Shiki stared at Roland for a while, and then her usually gentle gaze changed for the first time. But it wasn't a bad change; instead, it flickered slightly, as if it carried a hint of expectation.

"...I didn't expect that I couldn't see any information about the gods you mentioned. It seems that your gods are just like you, mysterious things whose origins and details are impossible to discern."

At this moment, Ryougi Shiki already possessed the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

She is a product of the simulation of the Root, an individual who should have been dormant until death. Therefore, she is connected to the Root, an omnipotent wish-granting machine, and should also be able to understand what flows out of the Root.

But she couldn't understand Roland.

Her magic eye couldn't see any dead lines or dead spots on Roland either.

In her eyes, Roland was [ ].

Moreover, unlike herself, he was truly [blank], without a trace, as if... he did not originate from the source.

However, Ryougi Shiki immediately dismissed this possibility in her mind as soon as she thought about it.

After all, everything in this world originates from the source.

If we're talking about beings outside the origin—maybe those Outer Gods would qualify.

But Roland was clearly different from those Outer Gods.

interesting.

There is nothing in this world that Ryougi Shiki would find interesting.

But Roland was different.

So...

"Okay, I'll join."

Ryougi Shiki gave an answer, and Roland's divine group became 13 people, giving him another chance to draw a prize.

And the moment she agreed, Ryougi Shiki's body, which had been somewhat damaged from years of lying down, instantly returned to its peak condition.

As the conversation ended, the world gradually returned to normal.

As the darkness faded, only Roland heard the voice left behind by Ryougi Shiki.

“Wake me up if you need anything, and I’ll respond. In return, please take care of Shiki for me. After all, even though you’re different from me, you should be easier for her to like than others.”

“Zhi is dead, now only Shiki is left. If you were here, she wouldn’t be so uneasy.”

"please."

As the sound ended, the darkness completely dissipated.

The Ryougi Shiki, or rather the Root Shiki, has once again fallen into slumber.

As for Shiki, that is, Ryougi Shiki and Aozaki Touko, they didn't think there was anything wrong with all of this. In their view, Roland had just woken up Ryougi Shiki, and then Ryougi Shiki woke up and accepted Roland's invitation before even opening her eyes.

None of what had just happened appeared in their memories, not even the ice cream box that had just appeared.

It's as if everything that just happened was just an illusion.

Ryougi Shiki looked at the world with her eyes, and then, not knowing how long she had been asleep, she discovered that the world... had changed!

In her eyes, the world was filled with blood-red lines, each one exuding a chilling, bloody aura that made her hands and feet go cold and her hair stand on end, just like a provoked feline.

She felt as if she were staring directly at death!

If you delve deeper into these lines, you can even see what it looks like when objects and life have been cut apart behind them.
