The Warrior of Love

Chapter 768: Restart: Fate Grand Designation

"what is that?"

Next to the huge glass wall, Ritsuka and Mashu, who were about to return to their room from the cafeteria, stopped because of the strange scene in the sky.

"A mirage?"

The two girls stared at the huge phantom covering the sky, not knowing what to say for a moment. They had seen many wonders in various singularities, but this time it was really special.

"It's just...it's just like a reflection of the world." Mashu quietly clenched her fists. Although she didn't know what it was, it gave her a very bad feeling.

At the other end of the sky, hidden by drifting white clouds, is a continent.

Rolling mountains, winding rivers, dotted lakes...but all of them are hanging in the sky in reverse like reflections.

It looks like another world is falling down!

This continent is only what people see. The light and shadow are not very clear, and the clouds have become a veil that blocks the view. The scale of the reflection is too large to see the whole picture.

If you look from a God's perspective, what's in the sky is probably not just a continent, but an entire "planet" including the ocean.

What’s interesting is that even though such a large reflection occupies the sky, it does not affect the sun’s brilliance. The world remains as bright as ever, as if it was really just an illusory shadow.

——Of course it can’t be that simple.

"Drip! Drip! Drip!"

The shrill alarm echoed in the museum, and all Chaldea staff received an emergency communication at the same moment, requiring them to reach their posts quickly, and Ritsuka and Mashu were also asked to go to the central control room.

Knowing that something big must have happened, the two girls took Fu Fu and hurried to the control room. Many colleagues had already arrived, and Roman and Da Vinci were waiting here early.

"Doctor, Da Vinci-chan, what on earth is this... Ugh!"

Just as they were about to ask, Ritsuka and Mashu were stunned, and looked at the huge globe in the air with horror, which was the observation device that simulated the soul of the planet - "Chaldeas".

This miraculous creation that can show the near future of the planet was dyed black during the "Incineration of Humanity", but it returned to its original appearance after the restoration of Humanity. It should have been a beautiful blue sphere, but -

"Broken? Chaldeas... cracked?"

For some reason, the huge globe turned into a desolate scene, with countless cracks all over it, like a crystal ball on the verge of breaking, as if it would disintegrate instantly with the slightest touch.

"Yes, Chaldeas shows human civilization one month later."

Roman turned around and looked at Ritsuka and the others seriously: "After thirty-three days... the human beings on this planet will be destroyed!"

"How could this happen... Goetia has been defeated!"

Ritsuka found it hard to accept this fact: "Most of the remnants of the Demon Pillar have been wiped out, right? Why is it only now…"

"I'm sorry, Ritsuka. You were about to finish your work and return home, but now something like this has happened. Unfortunately, fate is beyond anyone's control, and the trial we are facing now is a major event that we have never encountered before."

Roman said slowly: "This incident has nothing to do with the "Demon King Goetia", I can guarantee this. And the cause of the destruction of Earth civilization has nothing to do with the "Incineration of Humanity" either."

Mashu hugged Fufu and asked, "What happened?"

"Please be patient. Although the situation is urgent, there is still room for explanation."

Roman glanced at Leonardo da Vinci, the great genius who had changed into formal attire, nodded, and began to operate the control system.

"Ready... Now turn on the near-future observation lens "Sheba", adjust the deflection rate to 68%, time anchor point... full power projection, start."

hum!

A large amount of electricity was transmitted to the device, and the entire control room darkened. Instead, "Chaldeas" became brighter, and the cracks on it disappeared, returning to its original appearance.

“You know, although Chaldeas looks like a globe, it does not show the true appearance of the earth. Instead, it shows the prosperity of “humanity” in the near future in the form of a globe.

This is what it looks like now… and this is why it will look like that in a month.”

hum!

A strange thing happened. Above "Chaldeas", there appeared another globe, which was almost identical to it, even the speed of rotation was the same.

Ritsuka didn't understand and looked to Da Vinci for help.

"You should have seen it too." Da Vinci sighed and pointed at the globe No. 2, saying, "This is the reflection in the sky."

"what?!"

Ritsuka and Mashu gasped, and even Fufu opened her eyes wide, as if she was startled.

"Isn't that a mirage?"

"Yes, it is a mirage indeed—for now."

Da Vinci raised his hand and tapped the virtual screen a few times. Pictures flashed by, but they were difficult to see because they switched too quickly.

But Ritsuka said nothing: even if she saw it clearly, she wouldn't understand it.

"That is the Earth that exists in another dimension, at the same point in time as us, just like us in the mirror."

"A parallel world?" Mashu asked in surprise, "Isn't it a singularity?"

"No, the singularity is the product of the distortion of "our history". And this newly emerged Earth probably has a completely different history from ours... Although it looks similar, it is actually a completely different world from ours."

Da Vinci said seriously: "We cannot determine its nature yet, but you can temporarily call it a "fantasy world."

"fantasy?"

"Well, it's a kind of parallel world, but there are differences between parallel worlds. Some are not fundamentally different from ours, but the characters may be slightly different, or the level of civilization may fluctuate slightly.

Some are very different from us, and may be subversive differences...

The worst thing is that not only are the differences huge, but they also have completely different histories, and even the civilization itself has lost the possibility of a future and has come to an end in advance... I call it the "Lostbelt."

"Lostbelt?"

"I'll explain this to you later." Da Vinci shook his head. "Right now, we can't be sure which parallel world the one in the sky belongs to, so we can only temporarily classify it as a 'fantasy'."

"Although it's a bit hard to understand...but why does this appear?" Ritsuka asked with a frown.

"Spacetime is expanding... Well, imagine spacetime as a 'fluid', which is elusive but does exist. If there is an external force interfering, many strange phenomena will occur.

For example, now: the space-time fluid is shaped into something like a "lens", projecting the "fantasy world" at the other end of the dimension into our world.

There won't be any problems for now, it's just a shadow in the mirror... but if it continues like this, it may not be the case."

Da Vinci looked at Chaldeas.

"According to our calculations, it is because of the gravitational effect of the space-time fluid - you can just think of it as a phenomenon like the tide.

In short, the two worlds are gradually getting closer in the constant pulling of each other... After about a month, they will completely overlap in time and space coordinates. At that time, different "events" will repel each other, and the two different human histories will collapse under the pressure, turning into the doomsday scene you see.

——Both our "civilizations" will be destroyed!"

"It's hard to imagine that this mutual destruction could be some kind of attack."

Roman took it and said in a heavy tone: "But it can't be a natural phenomenon. There must be some special force that can push a "world" from the other side of the dimension. At this point, we have no choice but to stop all this from happening."

"Doctor, you mean..."

“To explore another world, to find the source of the distortion, and once again… to save this world.”

Roman said in a very serious tone, “Now, the name of the operation is: Fate Grand Order — Restart!”

Chapter 769: Jiang Liu's Deterrent Power

"In the end what happened?"

Jiang Liu naturally also saw the reflection in the sky. It was not a real thing, but an illusion projected from another dimension. Ordinary people could not actually see it. Because of the special magnetic field in Chaldea, this reflection was materialized - just like the aurora.

Therefore, currently, only Chaldea and some people with special abilities in the world can observe that incredible scene.

For example, the holder of the magic eye, such as Jiang Liu...

Frankly speaking, he was in a very bad mood right now, and even had the urge to wreak havoc, but his reason restrained his anger.

Come to think of it, he went through untold hardships, even experienced "death" more than once, before he finally defeated Goetia and successfully restored humanity. He had been planning to "live out his life in peace", but now this crisis of a world scale has arisen - it would be strange if he wasn't annoyed!

After seeing the reflection of the world, Jiang Liu left the earth and arrived in outer space, but did not find any "entity" or "person". By the way, he circled the moon and did not detect any abnormal activities.

If there is a "mastermind" like this, Jiang Liu can just use violence to deal with the other party, but now it seems that this incident is not that simple... The mastermind is hiding deep enough.

He had to give up the idea of ​​a quick victory and look for other ways out.

So he came to Chaldea to seek wisdom from a former Grand Heroic Spirit. After all, this was Type-Moon, and King Solomon must know more than him.

Then, just like what Lixiang had experienced before, after Da Vinci and Roman's explanation, Jiang Liu gradually understood the nature of the phantom.

"Want to explore the world on the other side?"

Jiang Liu did not hesitate and said directly: "Then let me go with you. The other party is a monster that can control time and space. It is absolutely impossible to fight against it with the combat power of ordinary servants."

"If Mr. Jiang Liu is willing to help, that would be great. It's enough to be worth thousands of troops!" Mashu became excited.

Ritsuka was also very happy: "I was quite worried at first, but if my brother comes with us, we will definitely be able to defeat any enemy."

The two of them might not know how powerful Jiang Liu is now, but he once faced Goetia head-on and defeated him - this incident left a deep impression on them and made them full of confidence in Jiang Liu.

However, someone jumped out and said the opposite: "No, Jiang Liu can't go!"

The one who spoke was Da Vinci. She said helplessly, "The world we are going to this time is not a singularity, but a parallel world with great differences. It is difficult for our spirit particle calculation device to carry such a large amount of information.

After all, even Sheba finds it difficult to determine the other party's space-time coordinates... It is almost impossible to send someone over through the method of spirit particle transfer.

But I'm a genius... I can still do it by modifying some parameters and hardware devices.

The time is too tight this time. It must be completed within a week, otherwise there will not even be time to explore the other side.

Even if the other staff and I work overtime, we can only make a semi-finished product at best. We expect that we can send Ritsuka, an ordinary person, over, but we can’t send a Servant. Their “information” is significantly different from that of humans, and a sub-Servant like Mashu is the limit…”

"Does that mean I'm not okay?"

"Although I don't know what form of life you are now, I can be sure that the amount of information you have is definitely more than that of a Heroic Spirit, and it is far greater than the limit of the transfer device."

"You don't have to worry about this."

Jiang Liu thought for a moment and said, "When the time comes, we only need to prepare for the transfer of Li Xiang and the others' spirits. I will have a way to go with them."

"Huh?" Da Vinci was surprised for a moment, but soon thought of Jiang Liu's performance in the singularity.

"By the way, you can freely travel between singularities, which means you have mastered some kind of parallel world travel technology..."

"Even this won't work."

Unexpectedly, even though Jiang Liu said this, there were still people who disagreed.

"You have to stay here, Jiang Liu."

"why?"

Jiang Liu was not angry. Instead, he looked at the other person very seriously, because this was a man who would never talk nonsense.

Especially at this special moment, he must have his reasons for saying so.

"My judgment is correct. If we continue to allow the two worlds to get closer, there will not be a doomsday in the physical sense. Instead, the two completely different "human histories" of the two worlds will repel each other and eventually lead to collapse.

However, this behavior is no different from suicide. The human history we live in is very prosperous and stable. If we really collide with each other, our chances of survival are higher...

It is hard to imagine that people in the other world would have such great malice towards us that they would rather sacrifice themselves to destroy our world. "

"Huh?" Ritsuka blinked, "Doctor, are you trying to say that the other party is also a victim?"

"That should be the case, but this kind of thing cannot be driven by external forces alone. There must be supporters of the other side in that world...but most ordinary people are definitely innocent."

Luo Man looked at Jiang Liu seriously: "I have been thinking about why this happened, and why at this time. If there is malice behind all this, what is the other party's purpose?

Then, I came up with an assumption: It’s your fault, Jiang Liu.”

"What?" Jiang Liu was stunned for a moment, but soon thought of something, and for a moment he had a complex expression of trance and enlightenment.

"Yes, it seems you have thought of it. The "evil" behind the two worlds chose this method to attack in order to avoid direct conflict with this planet. I'm afraid they are worried about the interference of the restraining force and... your existence."

Roman said this with a wry smile: “To be honest, if it were me, I would definitely not choose to be your enemy.”

"It's really annoying." Jiang Liu's eyes turned cold.

“Yes, this veiled style is unpleasant, but the power they possess is real.”

Roman sighed: "Let the "human history" of the two worlds collapse. The conflicting histories will greatly interfere with the ability of the inhibitory force to act, and our human principles can be completely wiped out without going to war.

And we don't even have a way to fight back... What a big deal, using the parallel world as a "cannonball".

So you absolutely cannot leave. The two worlds cannot maintain contact at any time and anywhere, and no one can guarantee that they have other means. Even if they just cut off information, there will be extremely serious consequences.

If we lose your deterrent power, the other side will be able to attack us without any scruples, and it will destroy humanity without going through so much trouble."
