Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Just after he found out the relevant information, before he could express his surprise, Xuul, the descender, had already given him the answer.

“The answer is that because of our ‘experiments’, the world has ‘changed’.”

After quickly connecting to the "Xiul" internal network and synchronizing the data network, he quickly deduced the whole story based on the known knowledge bestowed by the Holy Grail.

"I'm confused. What do you mean by 'change'?"

Before number four could finish his question, he was interrupted by number two who exclaimed in surprise.

"Strange, why did all this information suddenly appear?"

"what happened?"

Number One immediately ran to Number Two and tried to see the contents of the book in his hand.

"What is this 'Chaldea', and what is a 'singularity'?"

Shuul had indeed been recommended the game FGO by a friend, but he himself had never actually played it, let alone the plot and settings. At most, he only knew about a few of the more popular heroes.

Therefore, the incarnations of "Xuer" are also not clear about the meaning of these terms.

Seeing the new keywords, No. 2 quickly used these words and phrases to start further research.

"It seems our experiment was indeed successful, but our previous calculations were inaccurate."

No. 3 quickly expressed his opinion based on the analysis of the current situation. Of course, this was also the common opinion of several people.

"affim."

The confirmation from Foreigner confirmed Number Three's conclusion, but this kind of thing itself did not require his confirmation.

"interesting."

Among the people present, only Number One still maintained his previous "excitement".

hum-

At this moment, a golden vortex appeared in the open space on the other side of the crowd.

When Number Nine, having completed his mission, brought Karna back "home", he saw the six "Shurs" present seemed to be discussing something, and Number Two even summoned the Whispering Chapter.

Moreover, the "Xuer" standing in the golden magic circle gave him a different feeling.

The same was true of Karna who followed behind him.

"09: Question, what did you do? When I came back, I suddenly detected that the world had 'changed'?"

As soon as he came back, No. 9 ignored the strangeness present and asked his doubts directly. However, because Karna was beside him, he chose to ask the question in the "Xuer Network".

For Xuul, who has the ability to travel through the world, even the slightest changes in the world are enough to attract his attention, and this is naturally inherited by his clones.

Unlike him, Karna's expression showed obvious surprise.

As a Servant himself, he naturally felt the aura of a "kindred spirit" from that "Xuer". He could tell at a glance that the other party was a "Servant" like himself.

And the other party has some obvious differences from himself.

"Master, she is...?"

It was no wonder that Karna was so surprised, because the Servant looked the same as his Master and his sisters, and that indescribable strangeness prompted him to ask his Master.

He looked at Number Four's back, but Number Four didn't look back.

"04: Answer, check the report yourself. We have uploaded these things."

"07: Conclusion. It seems we haven't detected any changes in the outside world because we're in criticality. This means the other 'Shor' still out there will discover this 'change' just like No. 9 did."

"03: Agreed. The main body should have noticed this change immediately."

Number Three looked at Number One, who was standing next to Number Two, as if he was looking at a "suspect."

"01: Don't look at me. This is the result of my deduction with No. 2. You can't just blame me."

"02: Enough of the joking, let's get down to business. The 'change' in this world that deviated from the original plan is purely due to incomplete data. However, we've also gained more information through this. Let's take a look."

"Data uploading... 1% → 50% → 100%"

Number Two immediately stopped Number One from interrupting, and then immediately synchronized the new information he had found into the database.

Although it seemed that the several "Xuers" were a little "panic" because the situation was beyond their calculations, in fact, they were all calmly analyzing the current situation. The only one who was making a fuss was Number One at that time.

After quickly reading the intelligence, everyone present, including Number One, fell silent.

"07: Surprise, unexpected gain."

"03: Affirmative."

“04: Same as above.”

「01:+1」

"09: I'm surprised you guys did such a good job..."

“02: That’s it.”

"F: Absolutely. That's exactly what I said."

Looking at the crowd that had fallen silent again, Karna felt confused, and Number Four had not yet answered his previous question.

He was a little confused.

But since they seemed to be discussing something, Karna finally chose to stand quietly aside and wait.

"02: Let's put everything else aside for now. Our primary goal right now is to confirm F's abilities."

"04: Indeed."

"03: Agreed."

「01:+1」

“07:…”

……

"F: Agreed."

"02: Let's make this a quick fight."

After saying that, Number Two waved his hand, and the area originally used for the summoning ceremony was instantly cleared. Then, two tails emerged from behind him and aimed at the open space in front.

"—[Opening]—[Virtual Battle Field]—"

An invisible "ripple" emerged from in front of Number Two, crossing an area a hundred kilometers ahead...

Chapter 60 Test

3: 51AM

Flames filled the surroundings, "sealing" Shuul and Amakusa together in a prototype open space.

The fire that was gradually rising around them was like a grandstand, and the swaying "flames" were like the audience on the stands, "appreciating" the two people fighting in the "duel field" below.

But at this moment, they both stopped "fighting" at the same time, retreated from each other, and left a distance of ten meters between them.

Amakusa Shiro, who looked a little tired and had some tears in his clothes, formed a sharp contrast with Shuul, who was unharmed and calm.

"Ha ha……"

“…What did you do!?”

Taking advantage of the brief gap, Amakusa, who was breathing heavily, asked the first question.

When Shul noticed the changes in the world, Ruler, who had been "incarnated" in the previous Holy Grail War and survived to this day, also noticed the subtle changes.

The only difference is that he didn't know what was happening.

"..."

Faced with the questioning, Xiuer was silent at first. The light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he looked down, as if he was thinking about something.

Because although he discovered the "change" in the world, he didn't know what caused it.

Amakusa waited, as he was taking the opportunity to recover his "strength". The battle with Shuul was extremely difficult and a little weird.

No one knew how panicked he was when the other party came in front of him, Amakusa, through that strange space-moving magic and immediately revealed his real name.

In other words, this third-party force that suddenly intervened knew everything about him, so much so that he even thought that the main reason for the other party's intervention in the Holy Grail War was to find him.

When Shuul revealed Amakusa's real name, he instantly imagined countless possibilities.

He thought the other party was trying to stop him, so he subconsciously chose to try to refute the other party's actions with "words".

And he did just that.

But the bad news is that the other party did not listen to his "debate". After revealing his "real name", he started to beat him without saying a word.

But the good news is that the other party really just came to "fight" and not to stop me.

The only thing is that Shule's strength is indeed far superior to Amakusa's. Even if the former held back for his own purpose, Amakusa could feel it.

Fortunately, Shuul had no plans to continue fighting at the moment, and Amakusa was happy to take this opportunity to calm down his confused mentality caused by the battle, and began to think about how to break the deadlock.

The quietness of Amakusa did make it easier for Shuul to "check" the whole story.

Although he could fight and do two things at the same time, a quiet environment was relatively more comfortable (although this place could not be called "quiet" in any way).

"Inquiry completed..."

All reports from "Xuer" are uploaded to the "general database" in that episode, which is similar to a clustered "server", and this "database" that records all people's information is actually Xuer's own "database".

In other words, all the "reports" of the clones are directly "uploaded" to Xiuer's "brain", and if other clones want to check them, they have to "download" them from Xiuer himself.

"Relevant reports have been compiled. Reports matching this incident have been retrieved and will be reviewed... Responsible Individual 02, Project [Conclusion Report on the Impact of Experimental Results on World Lines]"

"..."

Xiuer read very quickly. After all, if necessary, he would usually choose to read in a "human" way.

But in this case, he naturally would not waste time, but chose to read quickly in a "machine" way.

No. 2's "Experimental Report" was very detailed, with detailed explanations of various hypotheses, conclusions, and the entire experimental process, allowing Xiuer to quickly understand the current situation.

Then, a series of new terms such as [Adventers], [Chaldea], [Singularity], [Humanity], etc. suddenly appeared in Shul's "eyes".

"How could an illegal summoning cause such a serious incident?"

Xuul, who knew everything, was slightly surprised, because he had never calculated such a result.

After all, the Amakusa Shiro in front of him was also a product of "illegal summoning", so Xuel had naturally added these ready-made "samples" to his calculations.

Naturally, there is no problem with the results, so he will "approve" No. 1's "proposal".

But now, the world has actually "changed" because of the illegal summoning, which really surprised Xuer. It seems that the huge deviation in the results is caused by the lack of some unknown important "sample".

Fortunately, with the changes in the world, the Whispering Chapter also "updated" more information, which was enough for Xuer to quickly judge the seriousness of the matter.

And this intelligence has been verified by No. 2 and a report has been uploaded.

The good news is that this so-called [Chaldea] is an unexpected gain for Shul.

As for the reason for the formation of the [Singularity], it seems to be the work of the "Xul".

Although he didn't know when the Chaldean "Master" would arrive, the current matter was not over yet, so Shul naturally would not "go far away" to seek help.

"Analyzing... 34%."

Let’s finish the current matters first.

As for the upcoming Master from Chaldea...

Just arrange for other clones to make contact first.

Acting as he pleased, his eyes flashed for a moment, and Xiuer immediately issued an "instruction" to one of his clones outside.

Then, he raised the sword again without hesitation, burst out with astonishing speed, and rushed towards Amakusa Shiro who had not yet reacted.

pound--! ! !

The sounds of fierce battle rang out once again in this "arena" made of flames.
