Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

After a moment's pause, he immediately turned around and looked at No. 2 again.

"How am I supposed to get out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden vortex, exactly the same as the gate he came from, appeared beside him.

Then, before he could even walk in, Number Four immediately called out to him.

"Reminder, this is for you."

As he spoke, golden energy gathered in Number Four's hands, and in an instant a small round object appeared in his hand.

Seeing this, Karna immediately reached out to take the item given by Number Four.

"Answer: This is a pair of headphones. Put them in your ears. When you come over, Number Nine will communicate with you through the headphones."

After hearing the answer, Karna nodded and quickly put it on his ear, then turned and walked into the portal with a very efficient demeanor.

After sending Karna away, No. 4 also finished reading the content of this experiment.

"Question, so you have already mastered the use of that 'loophole'?"

Since the outsiders had already left, Number Four immediately returned to reality and spoke.

"That's right. It's precisely because I have a precise method that I proposed this experiment."

The one who replied to him was Number One, and it seemed like he was very concerned about this experiment.

"That's right..." Number Two continued what Number One said.

"After analyzing the Greater Holy Grail, we naturally understood its operational loopholes. As a result, this experiment has a success rate of 89%."

"I'm confused. How can you be sure that the individual you 'summon' will be 'me'?"

"The answer to this question can be found by starting with the summoning ritual."

Number Three, who had been silent until then, gave the answer, and Number Seven beside him nodded slightly. Then Number Three continued:

"Of course, by using the 'Holy Relic' as a 'Catalyst', we can greatly increase the chances of the target being selected."

"That's right. Through my deduction, the 'catalyst' we've chosen will most likely summon the target individual."

Number Two added the final conclusion.

Seeing that the people in front of him all expressed their attitudes, No. 4 could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

"Got it. Just keep it in mind. I'm also curious about the results of this experiment."

Number Four finally gave his answer, and the others didn't show any strange reaction, as if they had already expected that he would agree.

After all, the five of them are the same individual.

Putting aside No. 1 and No. 2, an experiment that can be approved by the main body will naturally be considered by other "Xuers".

"Then let's get started and don't waste time."

Number One spoke first, and it seemed he couldn't wait any longer.

"Even if you were my younger self, you should have curbed your temper."

It was still the familiar bickering. Number Two quickly raised his hand and gathered the energy on the open space beside him.

In the blink of an eye, a circular magic circle quickly appeared on the blank ground in this space, and a golden servant "Summoning Array" suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Afterwards, No. 2 continued to input energy. After forming a magic circle, the energy continued to gather in the magic circle and quickly condensed into a hollow "doll" that was exactly the same as Xuer.

And this "doll" is the "catalyst" in their plan.

"Everything is ready, let's begin the experiment, 'Illegal Summoning'."

……

Chapter 59: Foreigner

[Illegal Summoning]

To put it simply, it means literally exploiting loopholes in the Holy Grail to modify the summoning ritual and related functions in order to get the results you want.

For example, in order to summon stronger servants, they may illegally summon non-orthodox additional jobs other than the orthodox seven jobs.

In common parlance, it's a bug that blocks the Holy Grail War.

This 7v7 Holy Grail War is also the product of a bug. After all, a normal Holy Grail War would only involve seven servants fighting each other.

The experiment that Shul and his group are currently conducting is to try to summon an additional 16th Servant (the 15th is the Ruler, Joan of Arc, summoned by the Holy Grail).

And, as they discussed at the beginning, this illegal summoning was only for the purpose of selecting the target Servant, for which they also provided a special "catalyst".

3: 48AM

As No. 2 moved, the golden summoning circle immediately emitted a dazzling light.

The summoning ceremony has begun.

Now, we have reached the initial stage of the formal implementation of the experiment.

Rich magic power is rapidly gathering in the magic circle at this moment, and the magic index in the detector is rising rapidly.

Number One was watching the changes in the magic circle with excitement, while the others were monitoring the operation of the magic circle with serious faces. At this moment, all five "Xuers" present were concentrating their minds on this "experiment".

"Hurry up and start chanting."

Number One urged Number Two, drawing an annoyed response from the latter.

"Don't worry, wait until I continue to supply some magic power."

After all, it is a summoning in a critical moment. The summoning ceremony needs a place with rich spiritual veins to be conveniently carried out. It is also because there is enough magic power near the spiritual veins to activate the magic circle.

But in the critical zone, there are no spiritual veins, so they have to bear the demand for magic power, and the complexity of the summoning ceremony is beyond human power. Normally, the summoning ceremony can only be successful with the assistance of the Holy Grail.

However, these problems are harmless to them, the "Xuer".

Rather, after analyzing the Holy Grail and understanding its principles, Shul discovered that his own characteristics were equivalent to extracting the root to refine "dimensional energy" for power supply.

And the ability to create things out of thin air, and complete the summoning ritual process by "oneself".

Jokingly speaking, from a certain perspective, Shuul is also equivalent to a "Holy Grail".

As for No. 3, No. 4, and No. 7, they ignored the two noisy people and continued to monitor the situation of the magic circle calmly.

After all, the chanted spell is also one of the key points of the ritual, and even the pronunciation, movements and gestures are particular. With the help of the Whispering Chapter (the magic circle pattern also comes from here), they don't need to capture a master to explore his memory before conducting this experiment.

After calming down the noisy No. 1 and preparing the magic power, No. 2 took a deep breath, stretched out his hand towards the magic circle in front of him, and began to chant according to the lines in his mind.

"Fill it up...fill it up...fill it up...fill it up...fill it up."

As Number Two began to chant, the golden magic circle in front that had just dimmed began to glow, and a gust of impermanent breeze suddenly appeared in the space.

"Pure silver and iron...

The Duke who made a pact with the cornerstone...

The surging wind is blocked by four walls..."

Just as the operation of the magic circle was gradually getting on track, a low music suddenly sounded in No. 2's ears.

It goes without saying that it was definitely Number One who did it.

But he didn't have time to care about it now, the ceremony was still going on.

"Close the four gates, be freed from the crown, and wander at the crossroads leading to the kingdom.

Your body is under my command, and my fate depends on your sword.

Answer the call of the Holy Grail, if you will follow its will, and answer my call."

As the hymns came out of No. 2's mouth, the light of the golden magic circle became brighter and the unpredictable wind around it became more violent.

And the music played by Number One became louder and louder.

“I swear this.

I am the one who accomplishes all the good deeds in the world, and I am the one who propagates all the evil in the world."

The chanting has reached its final stage, and the magic index on the magic circle is about to reach its highest point.

"The ceremony went smoothly and without any problems."

Number Four transmits the monitoring report to Number Two's "brain," and the same is true for the monitoring reports of the other two people (Number Three and Number Seven).

It seems that my calculations are correct. Now it’s time to witness the results.

He suppressed the thoughts in his mind, ignored the music played by number one at the side, and blurted out the final eulogy.

"You are the Seven Heavens, haunted by the Three Word Spirits, coming from the Wheel of Restraint, O Guardian of the Scales—!"

As the words fell, a huge amount of magic power condensed in the magic circle, and the extremely bright light immediately covered the vision of everyone present, and the violent storm had swept across everyone present (a protective shield had been set up near the computer desk in advance, so it was not affected).

And the vocal music released by Number One also reached its climax.

As the music gradually calmed down, the five people present all turned their attention to the existence in the center of the golden magic circle.

At the same time, with the end of this summoning ceremony, the world outside the critical point has also changed unknowingly.

This sudden change immediately attracted the attention of the two people fighting in the sea of ​​fire.

Shuul & Amakusa Shiro:?!

……

"Conclusion, the ritual is complete, the experimental results are...successful."

After submitting the experimental report to the "database" truthfully, No. 2 turned his gaze to the person standing in the magic circle.

"How's it going?"

"Report: The spiritual base is complete, all values ​​are consistent, but the ability has not yet been tested."

The one who answered him was number seven.

Looking at the sixth "Xuer" who was standing in the center of the magic circle, who was exactly the same as them but whose essence was already different, No. 7 answered.

"It seems that there is no problem with the data uploaded by the main body."

Number One excitedly ran to "Xuul" in the magic circle, observing his body with glowing eyes (physical).

"What should we call you now, 'Original'?"

He pinched his smooth chin, choosing his words: "Or should we call it something else?"

Number Three crossed his arms and calmly watched the interaction between Number One and "Xuer". Beside him, the conditions of Number Three and Number Seven were not much different.

After seeing No. 1's movements, No. 2 held his forehead helplessly.

After hearing Number One's question, "Xiul", who was still standing in the magic circle, also pinched his chin, as if thinking about this matter.

"Refutation, strictly speaking, I am not the original body. Similar to you, I am also a 'clone' of the original body..."

After sensing his own physical condition, "Xiul" expressed his opinion truthfully.

"...But my situation is different from yours, and I cannot follow your 'numbering system'."

"In conclusion, for the sake of distinction, you can call me a 'Foreigner'. This is my current 'job title'."

"To add to that, or to keep it simple, use 'F'."

"Foreigner?"

Number One chewed on the word in confusion.

"Foreigner...what kind of job is this?"

Unlike Number One who was confused about the job name, Number Two, who was a Foreigner Master, could directly see the other party's job information.

"While that's the literal translation, in our language, this class is called 'Adventer'."

Number Two answered Number One's doubts, but he was also confused about this job description.

Because through checking the Whispering Chapter, there is no such thing as "Adventurer" among all the jobs in this world, so what is the job of the Servant Shul in front of him... ?

They are neither the orthodox seven regular riders (Sword, Spear, Bow, Magic, Riding, Killer, Madman), nor the unorthodox two extra riders (Avenger, Judge).

He frowned slightly and decided to check the proclamation again. After all, with the search "keywords", he should be able to find the information.

"—[Pseudo-Code]—[Whispering Chapter Order]—"

He immediately summoned the Whispering Order and directed all of his body's operations towards this weapon.
