I'm doing a crossover anime/manga project, and I'm creating a new kind of "Moonlight&

In fact, Hayasaka Ai only managed to keep up with monsters like Merlin and Da Vinci thanks to auxiliary devices.

Surprisingly, Tokisaki Kurumi caught up, and even accelerated as she got older.

Faced with the incredulous gazes of the crowd, Kurumi Tokisaki smiled calmly.

However, her three thousand shadow clones, each with red eyes, used their time-manipulation abilities to slow down time while cursing and swearing.

You are not human!

P.S.: Gilgamesh's substitute serpent was killed by the protagonist in a previous chapter. This Gilgamesh comes from Gudako's world, so the mythology has changed. As mentioned before, he has become a toad.

In addition, the most prestigious character to appear in Type-Moon so far is Zhenwu the Great, Xuan Emperor.

Sorry, this is only the first update today.

Volume 1: Chapter 173 So, did the evil god take the World Tree, the lifeblood of the world, home?

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The four top students, who had achieved a perfect blend of rational scientific calculation and emotional mysticism, continued to deduce and discuss.

They gradually entered a working state, becoming rigid, serious, and full of a spirit of earnest inquiry. They insisted on their own opinions and abandoned all the social etiquette that humans need in society.

then....

"No, Merlin, you've lived for almost two thousand years, how could you make such a basic mistake? Are you an unevolved monkey? This is definitely not the right place, I guarantee it as the omnipotent one."

Da Vinci showed no mercy and slammed his hand on the table.

With his E-level strength, the entire industrial zone trembled. He blew his hair and glared, "Merlin, you're absolutely wrong!"

"Huh? An omnipotent being? Is that amazing? Am I just an unevolved monkey?"

The white-haired youth, Merlin, sneered and slapped out a tall stack of certificates: "These are my doctoral certificates in fourteen subjects: Chinese folklore, geometry, theoretical mathematics, engineering, and astronomy. I also hold three academician titles in Chinese mathematics, chemistry, and physics, and seventeen doctoral degrees."

Among China's thousands of academicians, I am one of three. The rejuvenation of this ancient and great nation owes a debt to me. You call me a monkey?

No one would think that if his main body stayed in the Tower of the End and didn't leave, he wouldn't create a few avatars to enjoy the progress of technology and the fruits of modern civilization, right?

No one would think that after two thousand years, it would remain stagnant, right?

"Crack~!"

Another stack of certificates was slammed onto the table, and Merlin proudly declared, "These are my twenty-one doctoral degrees from seven countries, including the UK, Germany, and Japan."

With another slap, Merlin slammed the third stack of certificates on the table: "These are the twenty-four doctoral degrees I earned in the United States, in mechanical engineering, big data modeling, philosophy, engineering, mysticism, folklore, and astrology."

Leonardo da Vinci, to put it nicely, you are a heroic spirit; to put it bluntly, you are a dead man who has lost all possibility and opportunity for progress, a ghost stuck in the past. How could you possibly understand the latest achievements of us living people?

Do you know how many technological innovations the magic world has undergone in the last few centuries? The Holy Grail system was established two hundred years ago. And do you know how many breakthroughs humanity has made in mathematics, physics, and astronomy?

Merlin sneered, "Hmph, old man, you're outdated. The founders should just lay their foundations properly in their coffins."

"What did you say?"

Da Vinci was so angry his nose was crooked: "You're making a personal attack, and aren't you the one who's lived for almost two thousand years?"

"So I'm right. I've been absorbing new things and working hard to learn and improve for the past two thousand years. Times have changed, old man."

The three large stacks of certificates in front of the white-haired youth were very convincing.

Moreover, one of the stacks was highly valuable in the past, and the other is highly valuable now, and its value will continue to increase with the continuous iteration of Chinese technology.

Merlin said proudly, "Would I tell you that I also studied under an elderly man surnamed Qian, a key figure in the Chinese and even the Federal Aviation Administration, a true prodigy of our time?"

No, he won't.

Because at the time he was called stupid as a pig, and sat at the same table with several other academicians who were considered "bad students" who had pioneered several fields.

He still remembered that the old man was puffing out his beard and staring at him with disbelief, as if to say: You can even do one plus one, but you can't do calculus? Something so simple that even an idiot could do it, even the dumbest person could learn it on their own in two months, right?

'This is the fundamental reason why humanity ascended to the throne of primates.'

Merlin sighed inwardly.

He is already considered a genius among geniuses among humans, but there are still more talented and incredible people among humans who surpass him.

What's even more frightening is that with a population of billions, even if only one person out of a hundred billion is born, such an outstanding individual can emerge every few generations, and the next generation can build upon the foundation laid by the previous one.

For example, Leonardo da Vinci was one of the earliest founders, absorbing technologies from all over the world and promoting the progress of various subjects. It's a pity he lived so long ago, he's an old man.

Merlin smiled smugly.

next moment.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Da Vinci, and Mr. Merlin as well, I don't agree with your conclusions. I think it should be like this..."

The girl with the side ponytail apologized.

"Huh? x2!"

Da Vinci and Merlin turned around at the same time, their eyes scrutinizing: What do you know, you teenager?

Hayasaka Ai smiled calmly and activated the ear-behind assist.

Although she was also a monstrous genius, having reached the professional level in all dozens of courses in isomorphology by the age of seventeen, she was still a little lacking in talent compared to Merlin.

But the problem is she has cheat codes!

She comes from a more advanced era decades in the future, so Merlin is an old thing to her.

Moreover, she comes from another Chaldea, which has a more advanced technology.

Times have changed, old folks.

the other side.

The girl with the delicate and beautiful face, almost inhumanly gorgeous, with pigtails, was starting to lose her composure.

What kind of perverts are these...?

Even with her straight A's in Chaldea subjects, plus the ability to create three thousand clones and a ten-fold time speed boost, she still couldn't keep up.

"Damn it, I can't lose..."

With her face still calm and composed, Kurumi silently created another nine thousand clones, and then decisively took out the stock of the "Spirit Potions" from the God of Scum's warehouse.

Looking at the doppelganger with its empty eyes, who seemed to only know how to babble, she smiled gently and said, "I know everyone is tired. It's okay. That guy is very good to his employees. He has some health supplements to help you get back to normal. I got some from him. They will definitely help you get back to normal."

In the shadow space.

A clone dressed more elegantly than a princess twitched at the corner of its mouth: "You're not going to tell me that this so-called health supplement is an energy potion that the God of Scum uses to give people who owe him money so they can work 24 hours a day, are you? The official name of that thing is 'ox and horse medicine,' thank you."

Is this an attempt to exploit these clones like cattle?

No, cattle and horses are at least valuable assets, but the original body doesn't treat them as human beings at all!

Kurumi was taken aback: "How did you know?"

"Because I'm the one who went to get it!"

The clone roared, "You scumbag original body, you actually used it on us? Are you even human?"

"You will be punished, you true self."

"Sooner or later, God will put you in a thousand and eight hundred different ways until you're completely out of your mind and can only babble on and on."

The three thousand clones and the newly arrived nine thousand clones all cursed, greeting Kurumi with the most vicious words.

The reason I didn't curse her whole family is that they are her whole family too. Her parents are in a terrible situation and are waiting for her to save them. It's better not to curse my poor parents.

In the end, they still helped Kurumi put on a show, even though it was painful.

.....

Abandoned factory.

Amidst the 12,000 clones' curses and swears, Kurumi smiled calmly and joined the discussion with the confidence of a genius: "I think Mr. Da Vinci is right. Merlin-san's statement has eleven flaws..."

The three of them were arguing so heatedly that they almost wanted to fight on the spot, but now they looked up, somewhat bewildered.

No, what are you getting involved in?

Weren't you just about to fall behind and fall behind?

But soon, they looked up in shock, realizing that this guy was something special.

So, the three people became four and began to argue and discuss, persuading the other three that there were no loopholes, and then they could confirm and quickly move on to the next question.

And the others.....

"Who am I?" "Where am I?" "Where am I going?" "What are the mysteries of the universe?" "The frequency of starlight..." "Ah, why does humanity exist..."

The others had already entered a state of sagehood, their eyes were filled with dizzy circles, and they could only mumble "Aba aba..."

at last.

"Ugh!"

Kazuma's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but rush outside and dry heave several times. Just listening to these immortals discuss and being led to think for a little while made him feel dizzy and nauseous.

After taking several breaths of fresh air, he looked at Hachiman, who had come out earlier, and complained, "I feel like they're insulting my intelligence and mocking me for being an idiot!"

He finally realized how vast the differences are between people.

What does it mean to have a once-in-a-generation talent among billions of people?

No, in fact, those four weren't that talented.

Leonardo da Vinci was very talented, but he lived in an era that was too early. He was able to ascend to the status of a Heroic Spirit and acquire the EX-rank Noble Phantasm: Omnipotent Man.

Merlin is a shameless old man who has been a student of heroes in every era.

Hayasaka Ai has superhuman abilities and technological advantages, but only Kurumi is the true hero of our time.

"No wonder the commander has his eye on them, they're all top-notch."

Kazuma sighed.

A moment later, Ayanokouji, her eyes vacant, stopped struggling and escaped as well. She lit a menthol-flavored cigarette lollipop, exhaled a puff of smoke, and muttered, "In their presence, I feel like an unevolved monkey. Shirofumi? You old codger, all your lifelong persistence is a joke..."

What kind of artificial genius is this? Does his father even know what a genius is?

"This is terrifying, is this what Merlin looks like when he's serious...?"

Lancelot fled in terror, his face pale, followed by the swaying, resolute Reinhard.

Even the perfect knight murmured in fear: Mathematics is terrifying... Astronomy is terrifying too, and humanity is even more terrifying!

"Those few are complete perverts. I suggest they be handed over to the state and sent to an experimental table for dissection and research to benefit mankind."

Hachiman finally snapped out of his fear and couldn't help but complain.

Soubu High School is one of the top schools in Japan, with a very high college entrance rate. He ranked third in Japanese literature at Soubu High School, but why was he in Class F? Isn't it because he gets a headache when he sees math?

Who invented this horrible subject?

Please, have some decency.

While geniuses emerge in other subjects, mathematical geniuses are truly rare, because such geniuses are practically superhuman.

That's absolutely insane!

For example, their superiors...

Thinking back to all the prerequisite materials he had when he was studying magic, he felt dizzy and just wanted to call for his mother.

When they asked their superior why they needed to learn these things, they discovered a large, incomprehensible mathematical calculation process displayed on a screen in front of the superior. It turned out they were developing a new magic array...

"Hachiman, running away won't do."

Ayanokouji wiped the foam from the corner of his mouth and said expressionlessly, "Mathematics is the foundation of all subjects. Any subject, when it reaches a deeper level, requires a very high level of mathematical ability, even art or literature."

To truly master magic, and even develop one's own unique magical costumes or arrays, requires an extremely high level of mathematical proficiency.

"Can you stand up straight before you speak?"

Kazuma rolled his eyes.

He was initially indignant, as Hachiman and Ayanokouji seemed to be more talented than him, but now it seems that they are no different.

Sixty and one hundred are nothing compared to Merlin's ten thousand or even one hundred thousand; all beings are one.

The combined abilities of those people in the factory are probably close to that of this officer, right?

I don't know why, but I always feel like my superiors are getting promoted all the time.
