A journey into an infinite dimension

"I forgot to ask, did Roman say when the next singularity repair will begin?"

"Three days later."

Hong Hui, who was whispering about some homosexual topics with Melusin, replied.

"Did they say which era it was?"

"It seems to be Rome in 60 AD."

Hong held her chin and thought about it.

"During the reign of Emperor Nero?"

Jia Ye nodded, and then suddenly remembered something.

"I remember that the name of the Beast 666 in Aegean is 'Nero Caesar' in Hebrew. According to the convention of one Beast per singularity, this Beast won't be the Whore of Babylon, who is related to the Beast 666, right?"

"One singularity, one beast, as usual..."

Melusin looked at Jiaye with her bright golden eyes blinking.

"So, Master will almost be killed again as usual, right?"

As Melusine said, in the two singularities that Kaye had experienced so far, he almost couldn't return to Chaldea each time.

In the first singularity, F, he fainted due to exhaustion of magic power after summoning Melusine. If Aige wanted to kill him, he might have died. In the second singularity, France, he was pierced through the chest and heart due to mental relaxation after killing Azi Dahaka once. If he had not been resurrected for unknown reasons, he would not be able to cook here now.

So, there are six more singularities to come. What will Jiaye experience?

Can he live to see the moment when human history is saved?

This point can only be concluded in the discussion with Aziz Dahaka later.

But he thought he would be fine, because although he had never actually used it, just based on the mental torture he experienced on the moon in the barrier and the knowledge about the two new powers in his mind, Jiaye felt that he could fight Aziz Dahaka alone.

Simply put, he has become arrogant and needs someone to take him down.

"I'll be more careful this time."

Jiaye smiled awkwardly.

"We're not going to let that happen this time."

Melusine said firmly.

"Since we already know it in advance, we can take precautions."

Hong smiled lightly.

"Although it's possible that everything is just our speculation."

"If that's the case, I'm happy and relieved."

Coming out of the kitchen with a variety of food, Jiaye placed them one by one on the table in front of the two of them, then put the tray aside and sat down himself.

"The familiar yet unfamiliar taste of food. I'm starting to eat."

Muttering softly, Jiaye began to fill his empty stomach.

“I’m starting.”

She also imitated Hong and Jiaye's posture and recited the same sentence, but Melusin did not pick up her chopsticks immediately. Instead, she supported her face with her hands, staring at Jiaye while he ate, with a hint of relief at the corner of her mouth.

It’s great to have the opportunity to see him eat.

Maybe Jiaye didn't know, but everyone present at the time knew that after witnessing Jiaye's death and being forcibly expelled from the inherent barrier, something else happened besides what they told Jiaye.

The singularity was repaired not simply because they successfully recovered the Holy Grail, but simply because the entire singularity was accidentally destroyed after most of it was burned and destroyed, and the source of the singularity - the Holy Grail - was destroyed, which led to the repair of the distorted singularity.

And the person who made this happen was Melusine.

Everyone knew about this, including Roman and other staff members in Chaldea, but no one tacitly told Jiaye about it.

There was another thing besides this, which Melusine had not told anybody.

In fact, the contract between her and Jiaye had disappeared for a period of time. Although it was restored later, it was precisely because she could not sense the contract with Jiaye at that moment that she went berserk. If the contract had not been restored later, perhaps Melusine would have chosen to use the entire singularity and herself to bury Jiaye.

She knew that the disappearance of the contract meant that one of the parties in the contract could no longer abide by the contract, which meant that it had entered a state of death.

No one knew how desperate and devastated she felt when she realized this. She didn't want to experience the feeling of facing the death of her loved one so clearly again.

So she would never let that happen again, never!

"Um...Mellucin, I feel a little shy when you look at me like that."

It would be difficult for Jiaye not to notice Melusin's fiery gaze even if he wanted to.

This made him think, did he do something wrong?

"I only watch it because I like Master. Master doesn't need to care."

Coming back to her senses, Melusine said seriously.

"Okay, I'll try not to care."

Jia Ye shrank his head. Melusin's straight shot caught him off guard.

"Gaya, ah~"

Suddenly, a jade hand stretched out from the side. Jia Ye glanced at Hong, who had a gentle and kind smile, and silently opened his mouth to eat the food that was delivered to him.

I checked the smell, it's the sour smell of vinegar and love.

“Master————”

"Well, I have something that's a little awkward to say, and I don't know if I should tell you."

Before Melusin, who was about to follow suit, could speak, Jiaye took the initiative to attract the attention of the two with this very misleading statement.

""What's up?""

"Actually, there's a girl living in my heart."

""who?!!""

Chapter 44: The World of Consciousness

"...You mean, there's still a half of your soul existing in your consciousness?"

Hong pondered for a moment, then reached out and gently pulled Jia Ye's cheek.

"Will it hurt?"

"I'm not dreaming."

Jia Ye said helplessly with a funny distorted expression.

"No, I just want to confirm whether you are still my Jiaye."

Under Jia Ye's doting and gentle gaze, Hong Qiao withdrew her hand with a slightly blushing face and said as if nothing had happened.

"After all, your symptoms are very similar to split personality. I would be in big trouble if you were replaced."

"Although we look alike, strictly speaking we are the same person—that's what Kakuyo said."

After deftly clearing the dishes on the table and placing them on the tray next to him, Jia Ye thought for a moment and asked.

"Do you want to talk about it? She should be able to explain it more clearly."

"......it is good."

Hong and Melusine looked at each other and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.

They did have some things they wanted to discuss with the being who claimed to be the other side of Jiaye.

[Ge Jiuye, I'm counting on you. ]

「Leave it to me, but I originally thought you would say something embarrassing like "Please, my other self". 」

【This is the line during the battle.】

[We can't guarantee that we will respond to you at that time. ]

「Well────」

The exchange and banter only took a moment. In the eyes of Hong and Melusin, after they agreed, although Jiaye was still sitting in front of them, his temperament changed drastically in an instant.

"Gui'an, I'm Ge Jiuye. Of course, you can also think of me as Jiaye, after all, we are the same person."

Yan Guang's pupils opened quietly, and Jia Ye - no, Ge Jiuye greeted the two of them with a calm smile.

......

......

"Is there such a high-end operation?"

Looking at the pitch-black water mirror in front of him, Jia Ye was speechless.

Although I really want to learn it, forget it. After all, she rarely goes out, so let her watch whatever she wants.

Shaking his head, Jia Ye sat up from the bed where a trace of body fragrance and warmth remained. He walked straight to the window that reflected the dreamy scenery, then reached out to open the window and look at the scenery outside.

"The world of consciousness is actually very similar to dreams. You can do whatever you want and everything you want will come true."

Facing the cool night breeze, Jia Ye looked up at the full moon hanging high in the night sky.

"Try to add some other factors. After all, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will get bored after looking at it for a long time."

After standing by the window for a while, Jia Ye suddenly turned over and jumped onto the windowsill, then jumped down without any preparation.

A breeze blew, and Jia Ye's figure did not fall directly into the sea as imagined, but hovered in the air with the help of the red wings that suddenly spread out behind him.

"As expected, a completely 'egocentric' worldview is irrational. If the inherent barrier is also like this, then I'm probably invincible."

Looking at the wings behind him, Jia Ye sighed.

It is indeed a terrifying thing to have your wishes come true. Just imagine, if you strip away the air around others, or increase the gravity within a certain range around them, or even let all kinds of imaginable poisons fill the surroundings, then the battle can be over in just a moment.

Unfortunately, this is a privilege that can only be enjoyed in this world and does not exist in reality.

Moreover, because it was his wish come true, Jiaye actually didn't need to imagine a pair of wings specifically, because no matter where he wanted to go, he could reach his destination in an instant as if he were teleporting. The reason why he did this was simply because of his personal willfulness.

"However, the wings are a bit childish, and it makes me look like a birdman. Forget it, it looks better without anything."

The wings disappeared, but Jiaye's figure remained in mid-air.

This is also natural. After all, this is his world of consciousness, and whether all physical laws can exist is just a matter of his thought.

Let's try this this time.

As Jia Ye thought of this, his figure suddenly twisted and was replaced by a silver-white oriental dragon.

"Only appearance."

Twisting the handsome and majestic dragon head to scan his entire body, Jiaye nodded thoughtfully, then he passed through the torii gate with swirling clouds and mist, rushing towards the Sky Island in the distant horizon like a meteor.

"------!"

Faintly, one could seem to hear the excited roar of a dragon, from which it could be seen that with no one watching, Jia Ye had completely let himself go.

After various somersaults along the way, Jia Ye soon arrived at the floating island suspended above the sea, and when he was about to fall to the ground, he suddenly changed from a silver dragon back to his original appearance.

The smile on the corners of his mouth was wild and unruly, which showed that Jiaye was in a very high and excited mood at the moment. It seemed that the "speeding" along the way had completely aroused his emotions.

In fact, it was the first time that Jia Ye discovered that he could feel so excited other than fighting.

Although he has no physical body in the world of consciousness, his old problem of losing control of his facial muscles when excited should not recur, but habits formed over the years are not so easy to change, and the various characteristics of the consciousness body are projections of the real body. Therefore, although he can turn into a dragon, only his appearance changes, and his inner self is still human.

This is because he is a human being in reality, not a dragon.

He unexpectedly discovered a second hobby that made him unable to control his expression, but this did not make Jiaye feel anything special, because the speed just now was obviously not achievable in reality, so in the future he would probably only be able to realize this interest when he was in the conscious world.

"Come to think of it, it seems like this is the first time I've been here since I imagined it."

Stepping on the grass, Jia Ye looked at the lush green bamboo forest in front of him. He stood there for a while before slowly walking into it along a path.

The lively rabbit poked its head out of its nest, looked at the stranger in front of it in confusion, and then, as if it had determined that he was not a threat, it crawled back in; the lonely and arrogant wolf stood on the hill and looked at the full moon in the sky. It just glanced at this strange creature that had not entered its territory and did not care.

There were also various creatures that were curious about Jiaye's existence, but no one went up to cause trouble for him. They just watched him gradually walk deeper into the bamboo forest, and then turned around and continued to do their own things.

Although these animals behave very intelligently, they are actually also creatures imagined by Jiaye. However, unlike the scenery, Jiaye also designed a personality for each of them while imagining these animals. Therefore, even if they are brought into the real world, no one would think that these are just creations of imagination.

Walking in the quiet and peaceful bamboo forest, the atmosphere brought about it gradually calmed Jiaye's excited mood.

Since he was a child, he has always loved all kinds of natural scenery, whether it is a strong wind or a gentle breeze; whether it is a drizzle or a downpour, whether it is the ocean at night or the ocean during the day; whether it is a cloudless blue sky or a clear sky with white clouds; there are also starry sky, bright moon, morning light, sunset——————
