Simultaneous Transmigration: We Share a Role-Playing System

Chapter 130 The Crown's Demise: The Snowfield City Chicken Dinner Tournament

During his five years at the Clock Tower, in addition to planning and waiting for the right opportunity, Locke had another core task: to complete the localization and adaptation of Hextech Core and Arcane.

Arcane magic is the primordial power of Valoran, but it is also the power that Piltover, the homeland of Victor, the character card held by Locke, has long regarded as a calamity.

Ironically, this self-proclaimed prosperous and progressive city of tomorrow only truly became a city worthy of its name after Viktor and his close friend Jess successfully developed Hextech, a technology based on arcane magic and under stable control.

Unfortunately, they ultimately underestimated the power of arcane magic. In the end, only one person truly understood how to use this power and found the key to open the door to truth. That person was Viktor, the pioneer who completely merged with the Hextech Core and took control of the source of arcane magic when he was on the verge of death.

Arcane magic has always been simply a power, unrelated to good or evil. What people fear is not arcane magic itself, but its destructive power capable of overturning everything, and the runic truths that are incomprehensible to the mortal mind.

For Victor, who is determined to end all suffering in the world in the future, arcane magic is merely a tool in his hands. This power is even enough for him to travel through time and defy fate, just to personally negate his former self.

For Locke, who became a pioneer of arcane arts, although he possessed extraordinary abilities granted by the system and could freely use arcane power, he needed to transform arcane power from an outsider into a native force.

He spent two years transforming arcane magic into magic, while simultaneously using the warp to mount the arcane origins of this world, the Hextech Core.

Over the next three years, due to its mysterious nature, arcane magic was cloaked in a veneer of psychic energy. In the Holy Grail Wars of many parallel worlds, future psychic users were dispatched as Heroic Spirits to spread knowledge of the Sixth Law, psychic energy, and the future to those parallel worlds.

Thus, the Hextech Core, mounted in the subspace, shares the same origin because it is cloaked in psionic energy, and therefore remains under observation, gradually assimilating with the rules of Earth itself.

But for Locke, this was still not enough; it was like he had just found someone to make a fake document, and the truth would still be exposed when investigated.

To achieve their goals, they must connect the Hextech Core to the Root and leave a record in the Root in order to completely transform themselves from outsiders with fake credentials into true locals.

However, to do this, he must face two major obstacles, otherwise he will fail if he is discovered.

Therefore, the method of Emperor Locke and Pioneer Locke was to have Emperor Locke attract the attention of the restraining force and reverse the inner and outer worlds.

In the last Holy Grail War, the world of the pioneer Locke concealed the existence of the other world, leading the Counter Force to believe that the singularity had been dealt with. Although they had been silently observing Locke, they were only observing.

But now, faced with the Emperor's deliberate exposure, the Restraint realized that it had been deceived by the two of them, but it was impossible to take its attention away from the Emperor, otherwise it would become the same situation as last time.

What is this? Forget-Me-Not Spray. Spray it on.

What is this? Forget-Me-Not Spray, spray it on.

All I can say is that Sleimabo's traits are still too much.

After being exposed, the Counterforce's first priority will definitely be to make the two Lostbelts fight each other, and to ensure that the more threatening Warhammer world is wiped out.

This also gave Locke the opportunity to retrieve the Hextech Core, which had been stored in the warp, and through the hidden hand left over from the last Holy Grail War, to transform it into a Holy Grail fragment that leads to the Root, and to completely turn the Hextech Core into psionic energy, also known as the Sixth Law.

In other words, from this moment on, the Sixth Law is complete.

"In fact, from the very beginning, this Holy Grail War was a clumsy imitation of the Fuyuki Holy Grail Ritual; it was a complete fake."

More and more old monsters are gathering outside Snowfield City. Magicians, Dead Apostles, and even the Astra Institute and the Wandering Sea have all come after hearing the news. It is said that even the Vatican has sent people over.

Since this body had been transformed into an ancestor, and Zelrich was too lazy to deal with these troublesome guys, he simply took his personal disciple Rin Tohsaka, along with Shirou Emiya and Sakura Matou, and directly passed through the layers of barriers, stepping into this city shrouded in blizzard and chaos.

Upon entering, the three were astonished to find that while the blizzard roared wildly outside the barrier, once inside the snowfield city, not even a wisp of cold wind could penetrate. At the same time, the Gem Elder recounted the entire story of the war to the three.

"The people of this country stole the spiritual veins of Fuyuki, imitated the rituals of the Holy Grail War, and even dug up fragments of the Greater Grail, hoping to replicate their own Holy Grail War."

But a fake is still a fake. The ritual they set up could only summon a maximum of six pseudo-Servants. These pseudo-Servants would dissipate on their own after seven days. The only exception was the unbound true Saber. After the true Saber was summoned, they could then summon the remaining six true Servants.

"But they overlooked one thing: the underlying rules of this war had already been laid by a remarkable young man during the last Fuyuki Holy Grail War."

From the moment the ritual began, this Holy Grail War became unrestricted. Anyone, as long as they were qualified and had sufficient magical power, could summon a Servant here—even I, this old man, was no exception.

Before he finished speaking, he raised his left hand, and three crimson command seals appeared on the back of his hand, gleaming coldly in the dimly lit street. This was the reason why Locke had specifically sought out this second magician and asked him to seal off Snowfield City.

It wouldn't be good if too many magicians lacked self-awareness.

But compared to this groundbreaking news, Emiya Shirou and Matou Sakura's thoughts were clearly focused on that "remarkable young man".

The two exchanged a glance, their curiosity and surprise barely concealed.

How could an old monster who had lived for thousands of years not see through the thoughts of the two? Zelrich simply raised an eyebrow, chuckled softly, but did not explain a word more. He just patted the three of them on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Stop thinking about those things and prepare to summon your Servants."

Then, on the deserted street, the Gem Elder casually tossed down a few gems and instantly set up a summoning circle. A faint magical light slowly emanated from the summoning circle beneath the three people's feet.

The three veteran Masters, who had experienced the Holy Grail War, closed their eyes and recited the familiar summoning incantation.

The dazzling light of the summoning circle slowly faded, and pale golden magic fragments fluttered down in the cold air.

Before Shirou Emiya stood a gentle old man with kind eyes and a dark linen robe that was even a little faded, making him look like a simple and wise man.

Yet that profound sense of history, accumulated over countless ages and witnessing the rise and fall of the Milky Way, is like a silent history book, bringing a sense of peace simply by standing there.

The old man nodded gently to Shirou, smiling as he confessed that he was a Heroic Spirit from the distant future, and that he would not reveal his true name for the time being, only instructing Shirou to address him as Makado.

On the other side, in front of Rin Tohsaka, a golden figure as dazzling as the sun landed steadily. The power armor, which was entirely made of gold, was extremely beautiful yet sharp. Every inch of the armor was polished to a flawless finish, flowing with a brilliant color that captured the light of the sky, as if it were a sacred artifact forged by the hand of a god.

The lion head shoulder armor on the left shoulder is lifelike in the glow of the embers, as if it is about to roar at any moment. The black shrike emblem engraved on the right shoulder is like the coldest hunter, whose icy gaze sweeps through every shadow and takes in all the hidden malice.

This warrior, who exuded a powerful aura that looked down upon all living beings, slowly raised his hand and removed his full-coverage crown helmet.

A face etched with the scars of millennia of battle, sharp and angular, was revealed. Those deep and shallow scars were medals of war merit, but that face made Rin Tohsaka's heart tremble, and she instantly turned her head to look at Shirou Emiya beside her.

It's as if it's saying, "Why is it you again?"

"Saber class, Constantine Waldo."

His voice was deep and resonant, carrying the composure and majesty honed through countless battles. His gaze was fixed on Lin, and after a brief pause, he spoke slowly, his tone carrying a sense of destiny.

"Or, use a name that you are more familiar with."

"Shirou Emiya, I have answered your call."

Just as the three were surprised by the future Shirou Emiya's response to the summons, the Jewel King, standing to the side, turned his attention to Sakura Matou's Servant.

It was a chaotic black form, unresponsive, as if the summoning ritual had gone wrong. Yet, when the Gemstone's gaze fell upon its scarlet eyes, a strange familiarity arose within them.

Just as more participants in the Snowfield City Holy Grail War Battle Royale Tournament were joining, the beta testers in the city center were engaged in a fierce battle.

After discovering Heracles, Queen Hippolyta of the Amazons decisively joined the fray. Meanwhile, Enkidu, Gilgamesh's best friend, was overjoyed at the reunion of his friend when he also noticed something amiss with Heracles and thus joined the battle.

El-Melloi II's problem student, Fratt, watched the battle with his servant Jack the Ripper. At the same time, he broke the Jewel's barrier and called his teacher in London, only to be severely scolded.

Meanwhile, the blonde fake Ayaka Sajou was placed in the church by King Richard the Lionheart, while he went off to fight and have some fun.

Unaware of her true identity, the fake Ayaka Sajou sat somewhat awkwardly on a church chair, secretly watching the Grand Rider beside her, who was chugging alcohol—the very Noah from the Bible, the original Noah's Ark.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"Ah, don't worry about it. I'm just a farmer chosen by God, here simply to await God's will."

"Huh?"

The drunk Noah thought the other person was talking about why he was waiting for God's will, so he scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and explained, "Haha, it's a bit embarrassing to say. When I was summoned here, God gave me a decree, but for some reason I didn't hear it clearly, so I had to ask the people in the church to ask God again. It's really a bit embarrassing, but what can I do? I was just a farmer to begin with."

Meanwhile, having contacted the Hanseatic priests in the Vatican through special means, he returned to the church hall trembling and said to Noah, "Lord Noah, news has come from the Church confirming your identity."

When the fake Ayaka Sajou realized that the other person was indeed the legendary Noah, her brain overworked and she started to think (crossed out) about it.

"Huh?"

"God said: Stop the enemies of mankind, lead mankind again, and let Noah's Ark lead mankind into the future once more."

At the same moment that the Lord's oracle reached Noah's ears, the James Webb Space Telescope, located 150 million kilometers away at the Sun-Earth Lagrange point L2, captured a set of unusual signals from outside the solar system.

In the deep-space footage, a cold, metallic structure covered in interstellar frost is silently approaching Earth, breaking through the interstellar dust of the Oort cloud.
