Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Even when Roland explained things like micro-expressions and psychological activities to her, she understood it like listening to gibberish.

So after she blinked, she assumed that Roland's magic eyes had the ability to read minds!

That makes it much easier to understand!

When Roland brought Ryougi Shiki over to Aozaki Touko, he saw her nodding repeatedly, which made his expression subtle.

He knew that Aozaki Touko had probably misunderstood something, and that it was most likely the magician's mind that had been affected, but he didn't intend to explain anything. Let it be, who knows, it might still have an unexpected effect when things are going smoothly.

After Roland stopped talking about this, things became much simpler.

Roland's purpose in coming to Kanbushi City was to obtain Ryougi Shiki.

Now that Ryougi Shiki has been awakened, she has joined the God Group, and she has obtained her own lottery chances, then her goal for this time can be considered achieved.

However, Roland was not in a hurry to return to Fuyuki City.

After all, their main base in Fuyuki City hasn't been built yet.

In addition, he now has a chance to participate in the lottery.

So he planned to take Ryougi Shiki to Aozaki Touko's magic workshop first.

Let's settle down first, and then I'll draw the prize myself!

.....again..

11. The root cause of being eaten by mushrooms three times.

When Aozaki Touko returned to Garan no Dou with Roland and Ryougi Shiki, Kokutou Senka was not there.

However, Roland could see this, and Aozaki Touko was not surprised at all. On the contrary, she seemed to be used to it. So she skillfully arranged temporary rooms and daily necessities for Roland and Ryougi Shiki.

Then he told Roland about the Ancient Bird's declaration of war against the Hall of Garan.

"Declare war? The kind where victory is certain and life or death is at stake?"

Hearing Roland say that, Aozaki Touko shrugged.

"Although I haven't asked about the specifics yet, I guess it won't be the kind of competition that's like playing house... Yuzhu definitely wouldn't do something so boring, so the only one who would do something like this is my little sister."

"Okay, go ask first, and we'll talk about it when we have the results."

"it is good."

After a brief discussion on this matter, Aozaki Touko left, presumably to inquire about the specifics with Kuon no Tori.

Roland, on the other hand, focused his attention on the number of draws available through the [God Group System].

It shows 1 there, and this is one chance to win a prize brought by Ryougi Shiki. To be honest, Roland is still looking forward to it.

After all, each person might have access to a different card pool for each draw.

As for Ryougi Shiki... her combat power and character design are actually quite mysterious.

As far as Roland knows, Mushroom has violated her setting three times.

Initially, in an interview, it was said that Ryougi Shiki, who was connected to the Root, was only at the level of an average Noble Phantasm Servant, and could only fight defensive battles against such Servants.

So what is an average Noble Phantasm Servant?

It's the kind of Noble Phantasm with a rank of around B.

The most typical example is probably the gun brush.

No, the interview from that period was probably about "farming" (or "grinding"), since there weren't as many Servants released back then as there are now.

Then this concept was quickly discarded.

In Tsukihime Fighting, a fighting game in which Mushroom also participated, Root Style directly pulled the princess, Arcueid, to a certain level!

Arcueid

To say she's a Heian servant is an exaggeration.

Then, in the labyrinth, came an even more ruthless one, the Root, who appeared as a hidden boss. Before encountering the main characters, she was only one away from killing a hundred Servants; she killed ninety-nine Servants!

If we had to explain it this way, maybe it was because they killed ninety-nine weaklings?

Finally, there's the fight against the Earl in FGO.

Perhaps the mushroom realized it had overeaten and deliberately controlled itself, but still made a show of its Root-like presence before the Earl ran away, while also obscuring its combat power.

Later, the very thing that Mushroom initially said in an interview was the root of the Peacekeeper Servant's defensive strategy, was all given EX tools in FGO!

The four-star Ryougi Shiki is an EX tool, and the five-star Ryougi Shiki is also an EX tool, but they are different EX tools.

Furthermore, Aika Sajō once had a dream in the story where she was almost touching the Holy Grail, but then the Holy Grail was inexplicably taken away by the Root.

Therefore, the Root can be said to be a typical example in the Type-Moon world of something that has a mysterious existence, mysterious combat power, and is quite mysterious in every way.

Compared to Ayaka Sajou, who directly tells you that her strength is above that of a mage, she possesses the primordial goddess's power of the womb of all beasts, manifesting as the "Monster Princess," and has revived the Ten Crowns of the Apocalypse Beast. She can learn the magic of the Age of Gods at will, and even the great alchemist surrendered on the spot. She is immune to the poison of Serenity Hassan, and she can withstand Brunhilde's Noble Phantasm, which is devoid of love, without any harm.

However, it was also mentioned that if you were to fight Brunhilde in her prime head-on, you wouldn't be able to handle her, and you might even get killed. Fighting Ramses II would require you to flank her and use underhanded tactics, making her a typical overpowered magician-type character.

The root cause setting is far too vague.

Even though Roland didn't think that Root Form could compete with Breakthrough Servants after the initial interview with Kinoko Nasu, and even though Kinoko Nasu changed his setting several times, she is still a character with such a vague setting, so what will we get in her gacha pool?

After all, this is Ryougi Shiki, which is connected to the Root. Regardless of its strength, it is related to the Root, so it is not surprising that you can draw anything, right?

Roland pressed the lottery option with this thought in mind.

Then he saw this message.

Congratulations on acquiring the skill Gravity Manipulation!

Gravity manipulation!?

Roland was genuinely surprised when he saw this skill.

After all, gravity, electromagnetic interaction, weak interaction, and strong interaction are the four fundamental forces known to all!

Explaining the application of these four fundamental forces in detail is a bit complicated.

However, in short, gravity is different from the other three fundamental forces.

Electromagnetic force affects electric charge, weak force affects most particles, and strong force affects nucleons, mesons, and the like.

Therefore, none of these three methods are easy to use, and using them in a simple way always feels a bit wasteful.

Once you've got the basics, you should at least learn some fundamental knowledge.

Gravity, however, is different.

Gravity affects all point masses.

If we were to explain this in terms of point masses, and then go on to discuss quantum fluctuations, quantum annealing, and the existence of multiple local minima in discrete space, it would be very complicated. Even the Casimir effect is quite difficult to explain.

In short, when it comes to using gravity, as long as you can generate enough force to make a brick fly, then the direction is pretty much right.

In relativity, gravity is considered as a manifestation of the curvature of spacetime caused by mass.

This is also why Roland said that calling his miniature black hole by that name was somewhat of a stretch.

Because his method relied entirely on collapsing the channel of the imaginary space towards the interior of the imaginary space, just like digging a hole in the channel of the imaginary space, and then using force to pull other matter to the vicinity of the slope of this hole, and then letting these matter be poured into the imaginary space along the slope.

Although it is essentially a simulation of a black hole, it is far inferior to a real black hole.

A real black hole has a very strong gravitational pull, but that gravitational pull doesn't mean that something is pulling on it.

A black hole is essentially a pit in space. The appearance of this pit causes space to bend, creating an arc. Things around it are then pulled into the black hole, which is why the gravitational pull can even suck in light.

The reason for this curvature of space is the enormous mass of a black hole.

The force that brings about this mass is gravity.

Even those unfamiliar with gravitational fields have probably seen a ball seemingly moving through the air, with a transparent grid underneath. After something passes by, part of the grid collapses, as if the weight of the ball has been materialized.

In simple terms, a black hole is something that creates a collapse phenomenon in space.

If we apply gravity, then knowing this is enough.

It's that simple!

After a moment of joy, Roland immediately went to check out how the skill controlled gravity.

He then easily discovered that although gravity control, like other skills, does not consume anything, its strength is related to his mental strength.

The higher one's mental strength, the greater the mass that can be propelled by gravity.

This hit Roland's weakest point all along.

Roland's spirit is definitely stronger than that of the average person.

After all, he has the blessing of the divine group, and the blessing has reached Lv3, which also amplifies his spirit.

but...

There were no other increases.

The attribute boosts from his shadow fusion are all physical attributes. As for spirit... where would those shadows get any spirit?

As a result, the advancement ladders on the Shadow Puppet and Shadow Wolf don't improve their spirit—Shadow Puppet, Shadow Dragon, Shadow Wolf, Shadow Warrior... out of all of them, only Roland has spirit...

With his current Lv3 level mental amplification, it wouldn't be difficult for him to manipulate gravity to perform things like Universal Pull or Shinra Tensei.
