[Mahiro Oyama: "...I don't understand this sentence at all. What does 'a fictional self in reality' mean? I'm getting dizzy."]
[Ryuguuin Seiya: "Understood, continue"]
[Marshiel: "The black magic I recorded was created by the Labyrinth Master more than 1000 years ago. His idea at the time was to continuously iterate his own time, repeatedly summoning his future self to continuously complete the prototype of the magic research he has now established."]
[Hachiman Hikigaya: "Are the magicians in your world... all this perverted? Aren't there any normal people among those who study magic and sleight of hand?"]
Misaka Mikoto: "Did it work?"
[Marshiel: "Of course it failed. I'll explain how it failed later. I need to explain the principles clearly first so you can understand why I'm saying this."]
[Marushir: "There's a topic that magicians have debated for a long time: Is the future self we imagine from now truly ourselves? Or even truly our future selves?"]
[Marshiel: "It's like when you look in a mirror, don't you subconsciously think that the person in the mirror is yourself?"]
Misaka Mikoto: "That's just a reflection of light."
[Marshiel: "That's right. The 'me' in the mirror is just an empty shell that imitates me through the mirror. It's not my consciousness, nor my body. It's just an existence that's very similar to me, and it might not even be human."]
[Marushir: "This is the record of that Labyrinth Lord, who was completely replaced by a warp demon called the Disguised Self"]
"hiss……"
When Masahiro Oyama saw Marushir's words in the group chat, he got goosebumps all over and felt a chill run down his spine.
Emiya Shirou rubbed his shoulders.
Hachiman Hikigaya's hand trembled as he held the coffee. Thinking about it carefully, this was even more terrifying than a typical ghost story.
"very dangerous."
After closing his eyes in thought, Ryuguuin Seiya opened them:
"Such a shortcut cannot be taken for the time being."
Itsuka Shido opened his personal panel, looked at the top section, and said:
"As official agents of Daotian Palace, aren't our true spirits immortal?"
[Marshiel: "I don't quite understand what the immortality of the true spirit in the East means, but its function is to back up the soul for resurrection, right? Then I can think of it similarly as a lich's phylactery, or rather, a very high-level phylactery."]
[Marshiel: "That dark magic that summoned oneself was used by many mages in later history, including liches. They all wanted to bypass the long research process and accelerate their research results."]
[Marusir: "One of them prepared a life box, a soul lamp, and other items to confirm soul information. He used this magic to accelerate 50 years, and after subsequent testing, he believed that he was indeed himself."]
[Mahiro Oyama: "Scared. (Swallows)"]
[Marushir: "A month later, a mage friend came to the mage tower looking for him and was almost killed by him. Fortunately, he was still a very strong magic swordsman and fought his way out, reporting the incident to the elves."]
[Marushir: "The elves attacked and breached the mage tower, and the truth was finally revealed. On the first night after the ritual ended, [he] killed all his relatives and apprentices. There was no living thing left in the entire mage tower. He locked himself in his room and tortured himself madly, slashing his face and body. Everything in the entire mage tower that could serve as a mirror was destroyed, including the smooth floor."]
[Ryuguuin Seiya: "Such an attempt must never be made, and no one is allowed to try it."]
Misaka Mikoto: "Hmm"
[Itsuka Shido: "Let's take it one step at a time and level up using our own [Legend]."]
[Marushir: "Body modification magic... Magic is alright, but things involving self-awareness, soul, and memories must be handled with extreme care. Once something goes wrong with these, it's irreversible."]
[Live Stream Room]
Umaru: "?"
[Empty: "The game world is full of pitfalls!"]
[Ruri Gokou: "Magic and sorcery... don't seem to be as wonderful as I imagined."]
[Xu Xiang: "Hmph, be careful like this. I remember this person has been in the group chat the whole time but hasn't logged into the game. This dawdling doesn't seem like someone who can accomplish great things."]
Esdeath: "Power is everything. The strong only need to plunder. What's the point of ego? The weak don't even deserve ego."
[Edward Elric: "What strong and weak? What bullshit theory? It's just an equivalent exchange. To gain something, you must lose something. To achieve results across time, the distortion of the self is the equivalent price."]
Aizen: "A flower in a mirror, a moon in the water—her caution is justified. Even if she gains power, it must be solely for my sake. Once I am lost, everything else loses its meaning."
[Marchrie: "Leaving aside the philosophical question of my reflection in the mirror, just the act of traveling through time would cause a radical transformation of the self."]
[Matou Zouken: "?"]
Red A: "..."
[Machiri: "She's right. The World Record Belt doesn't record memories. Most of the Servants logged in are records of the world, but they're just records. Even if they're exactly the same, they're still not who they were in life."]
[Aozaki Touko: "What a magician pursues is not the self itself, so what if he loses himself? In this world, who can maintain the purity of their true self forever?"]
Merlin: "Yes, I know at least one."
Morgan: "Only her"
"Is this here?"
Carrying the jar, Sato Kazuma followed the map to the newly built "Mysterious Garden" outside the Doten Palace.
"Moshi, Moshi, is anyone there?"
No one responded.
He went in, stepped onto the red soil, and followed the directions on the map, continuing forward, seeing many "animals" along the way.
Finally, we arrived at a tree with small, unripe, green fruits hanging on it.
Kazuma Sato looked puzzled. Was this tree used to help process the materials?
"Hiss..."
A green snake, hidden among the leaves, moved slowly, hanging upside down, its tone elegant:
"Honorable guest, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Oh?"
Kazuma Sato looked at it calmly. He had seen too many storms. It was just a talking snake, not even as good as a flying killer cabbage.
"Could you please help me clean up this blood?"
"Happy to oblige."
The Primal Serpent climbs down from the tree, unlike ordinary snakes, it still retains its limbs.
It first extended its forked tongue and licked the divine blood, its eyes flashing with enjoyment, which gradually turned into greed as it began to suck it in large gulps.
"Hey!"
Kazuma Sato quickly stopped him, "What are you doing?"
"I'm analyzing the composition of this blood."
The Primal Serpent continued to savor it, gradually extending its head inside.
The Bull Demon King's.
Kazuma Sato had an urge to take a knife and chop off the head of the rat snake.
"?!"
[Original Snake] After drinking half of it, it looked up at the flower bed, shrank its neck, looked at Sato Kazuma, and flicked its tongue:
"Hiss, I've already analyzed it."
Sato Kazuma, seeing that only half of his blood remained, hardened his fist.
"Then let's get it done quickly."
It bit the earthenware pot, inserted its fangs inside, and squeezed out a drop of clear venom into the divine blood.
The venom reacts with the bright red divine blood, gradually turning the blood from red to dark purple.
A notification pops up in front of Kazuma Sato.
The blood of Medusa is being transformed by the venom of the Primal Serpent...
【Medusa's Divine Blood】→【Gorgon's Demonic Blood】】
[Conversion complete.]
"see you next time."
The Primordial Serpent climbed back up the tree and spoke to Kazuma Sato.
Kazuma Sato looked up at the snake, utterly speechless.
The panel clearly shows that there is absolutely no cost to converting [Medusa's Divine Blood] into [Gorgon's Demonic Blood].
So, it consumes half of the divine blood, and you, you dog-snake, are drinking half of it, are you?
Taking 50% cut? That's so greedy!
Kazuma Sato picked up the earthenware pot, glanced back at the fangs of the Primordial Serpent, and ran out of the garden.
Next time we need to focus on conversion.
He sneaked over to steal the venom from the rat snake; if he couldn't steal it, he'd rob it!
To deal with birth, we must deal with the way birth happened!
"Hiss..."
The Primal Serpent felt a little itchy in its teeth, so it opened its mouth to stretch. Feeling a bit sleepy from drinking too much, it prepared to go back to sleep.
I took one last look at the boy in green and felt a sense of kinship with him.
Even though we are human, I have a feeling of... being one of them.
It's an illusion, probably.
Chapter 0085: The first [Sub-Servant] player.
"Brothers, I'm back!"
Kazuma Sato jumped out of the silver portal, carrying the processed [Gorgon's Blood].
Seeing that a crowd had gathered around, he immediately went over.
"You've come at the perfect time; the professors have just finished their preliminary preparations."
Kohei Imamura and Iori Kitahara made way for Kazuma Sato to squeeze in.
The test subject standing in the middle... is Emiya Shirou.
Makise Kurisu is using the [Omnipotent Person] confirmation ceremony while asking the professor questions and learning on the fly.
"Why isn't this Hachiman Hikigaya?"
Kazuma Sato opened his mouth and spoke his mind directly.
"Ok?"
Hachiman Hikigaya stared at him with deadpan eyes: "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing, aren't you the fastest at this kind of thing?"
Hachiman Hikigaya looked at Shirou Emiya in the arena and spoke frankly:
"...I can't beat him."
"You're just going to hand over the title of 'Group Self-Destruct Card' like that?"
"It's not a good title anyway, so I'll just give it up. Besides, I'm not some self-destruct card."
Hachiman Hikigaya and Kazuma Sato chatted to pass the time.
"Okay, we can start."
After repeatedly confirming, Makise Kurisu finally felt relieved.
Ryuguin Seiya asked:
"Will there be any side effects?"
"should not."
Makise Kurisu hesitated before speaking.
She is very firm and confident in scientific research, but when it comes to magic and human lives, she is not so sure about the potential side effects.
Lin Zhen, leaning on his cane, nodded at the magic circle: "This magic base is no longer a secondary summoning, but a transformation. It only transforms the physical body and will not affect the consciousness and soul level."
