He was imprisoned in Nibelungen for a thousand years, only to find out upon his release that he was

"But at the cost of avoiding it."

"Tiamat, the best solution is for us to merge! That way, we can reasonably mitigate the risks!"

Lu Ming clapped his hands solemnly and said.

"Merge...merge?"

Is this a proper union?

Tiamat tilted her head.

"Yes, the most troublesome thing right now is that you might lose control at any time because of betraying the alliance, and cause your adult dragon body to go berserk!"

Lu Ming began to speak eloquently.

“Okay, then let’s assume that Odin has plenty of ways to use the contract to make your huge dragon body start attacking indiscriminately. I probably don’t have any solutions for that for the time being.”

"But if it's just your current human form (in its larval stage), as long as you merge with me and reside in my body, you can legitimately circumvent the settlement of the contract..."

"Living as a guest in someone else's body..."

Tiamat was walking along when she suddenly stopped.

Her first reaction was that it was impossible.

Regardless of the feasibility of this operation, even if Beast wanted to inhabit another individual, it could not guarantee the integrity and safety of that individual.

Unless the individual is exceptional or extremely strong.

Otherwise, if two entities reside in one body, the other will inevitably be affected by the Beast, become the dominant entity, or even be devoured.

Such situations do indeed exist, for example, the shameful demon god Jiepai.

Therefore, such an action completely puts one's life in the hands of the extremely dangerous Beast.

But at that moment, Tiamat looked at Lu Ming.

His eyes changed.

He is different.

He is a qualified exception. He truly has the potential to be conceived and grow into a Beast.

Although it cannot be contained for the time being, that enormous beast body.

But it seems feasible to simply house a small portion of the brain within it?

Tiamat, realizing this, stared wide-eyed at Lu Ming.

A way to exploit loopholes in the rules of fate has actually appeared!?

That's amazing!

Although it only allowed the mind to avoid the backlash of the rules, the enormous entity nurtured in the Sea of ​​Life still could not escape the reckoning of the contract and was forcibly manifested in its adult beast form.

But this situation is already much better than when she faced the full picture.

It's like the difference between a Gundam with a pilot and a Gundam without a pilot.

One knows how to operate it, the other doesn't.

"That's a great idea, thank you, child."

Tiamat took Lu Ming's hand, her face beaming with joy.

Her eyebrows were curved, her lips were upturned, revealing shallow dimples.

Despite claiming to be a mother, she showed no restraint or elegance at this moment, displaying her childlike emotions on her face.

As long as Tiamat preserved her mind and body, and that part that represented 'human love,' she knew she would never forget her most precious love for children.

As for the beast's body that had gone berserk due to the backlash from the rules, that was no problem. With her by his side, Lu Ming would find it easy and enjoyable to fight that beast's body.

This time I'm attacking myself, how can I lose when the dragon is right in my face?

"See? I told you I had a way, although I'm still learning a lot of things myself."

"But how can we solve a problem if you don't share it? Sometimes we need to share our ideas and brainstorm together."

Lu Ming spoke earnestly.

“Look at me—I’m generally not very talented, and my abilities are rather limited, so I especially like to take unconventional approaches.”

"Don't be fooled by my current success. Many of my achievements are inseparable from the painstaking thinking behind the scenes, coupled with hard work and down-to-earth efforts."

Tiamat nodded, proud of him.

She then shook her head, firmly denying that Lu Ming belonged to the ordinary category.

"My son, a peerless genius."

My child is the best!

......

"Oh, we've finally made it back! We're the best!"

A schoolgirl with orange hair and a side ponytail emerged from the control room, leaving the spirit basket. She let out a tired sound, as if she had just finished a long marathon and was now suddenly relaxing.

"Yes, the seventh singularity has been successfully repaired. Thank you for your hard work, senior."

Next to her was Mash Kyrielight, a girl with short pink hair.

Her dark, armor-like Servant costume vanished in an instant, turning into particles of light, and she was replaced by a white lab coat and pantyhose work outfit.

—This is another timeline.

This is also the most unique FGO (Fate/Grand Order) world line, and what happened there.

"Ha~"

The orange-haired girl, Fujimaru Ritsuka, yawned. During the Seventh Singularity, she had nightmares about the endless monsters and the disgusting Rahmu.

Finally, they faced the Beast, an unprecedented catastrophe for humanity, Tiamat from Mesopotamian mythology.

This is unbelievable...

In a singularity, one encounters the Mother Goddess of Creation, whose power and mechanics are as strong as a demon or god; even with all one's might, one cannot defeat her.

In order to win, they assembled a team of several gods, and with the help of the Underworld's environment, King Hassan's Grand Cannon, Merlin's magic, and other enhancements and weakening effects, they finally defeated Tiamat.

Even now, Ritsuka still feels a lingering fear when she thinks back on it. Even with such a lineup, there was almost no redundancy; losing even one member might have meant the end of the Tiamat campaign.

"Well, that's all in the past! Now it's time to relax!"

The girl greeted Mashu, stretched, and walked back to her dormitory with a bit of fatigue.

step.

Two steps.

Ten steps —

[Buzz—!]

An alarm suddenly went off in the control room.

It was immediately broadcast throughout Chaldea via the public address system.

This situation likely indicates the emergence of new anomalies, and not just any anomalies, but rather the kind that cause urgency.

"Seriously?! I don't even have time to drink water?"

Ritsuka's face fell, and she scratched her messy hair.

Logically speaking, as a savior, she should also have the right to take a break.

But she's the only Master in the entire Chaldea, so as the only firefighter, no matter how busy or tired she is, she has to go.

When they returned, Dr. Roman, Da Vinci the Servant, Mash, and others had already gathered together.

Even though just two minutes ago, they had all been preparing to rest.

"I'm sorry to trouble you again, Fujimaru."

Dr. Roman snapped out of his reverie, “This time, an extremely strong anomalous reaction has suddenly occurred again.”

"Sheba shows that the time and place are in modern North America in 2010."

"Then......"

Dr. Roman paused for a moment.

“We detected distortion values ​​that are highly consistent with those of the ‘Seventh Singularity’, including a very similar ‘Beast’ reaction.”

Ritsuka: "Huh?"

Do we have to hit Tiamat again?!

She had just finished a top-tier, high-level match in the Seventh Singularity, and now she had to play it again without any rest.

If you want me dead, just say so.

Dr. Roman was also somewhat embarrassed, and gently comforted him, saying:

"Thinking about it carefully, it's not entirely without its advantages. At least we have the experience of dealing with it for the first time."

"Even if we are 'lucky' enough to experience the same development as the Seventh Singularity, we can still get through it by relying on our experience from last time. It seems pretty easy."

"It seems so..."

If things develop in the same way, it will be another alliance of the three goddesses: Ishtar, Ereshkigal, and Tiamat, with Gilgamesh and other Servants helping out.

That way, you might be able to pass by simply memorizing the template based on experience!

Ritsuka thought about it carefully, then suddenly frowned, realizing something was wrong...

"That can't be right, the time and place are completely different this time! No matter how you look at it, it's just a dubious development!"

The doctor's attempt to comfort him was completely insincere!

Leonardo da Vinci chuckled softly beside him:

"Alright, this singularity is located in the modern era, according to data mined by the Laplace Phenomenon Computer:"

"This is most likely a distortion caused by the Holy Grail War. The specific coordinates are in Snowfield City, America... but why is such a severe distortion occurring in modern times? You need to investigate that..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu listened carefully to the information.

Then came the preparation of various magical costumes and tactical suits, and the completion of the spirit particle transfer project...

The girls returned to the basket and once again decomposed into pseudo-spiritual particles.

The next moment, the accelerator activated, confirmed the destination, transported the object there using spirit particle projection, and then, through observation and confirmation, completed its physical landing.

Landing...

"Ugh, why am I in the air again—"

The girl screamed in the air.

Could it be that it was bounced away by some huge barrier again?

Moreover, while landing in mid-air, she also got a clear view of the entire scene below. This feeling of déjà vu—

The breath of the gods.

Tropical rainforest.

A massive city wall.

A massive horde of Warcraft monsters, a tidal wave of black mud.

...Isn't this just a clone of Warcraft Battlefront?

"Where is the modern era?"

"Did you guys send this to the wrong place?!"

......

"That's strange, it looks like something was bounced away."

city ​​center.

Ai Lei frowned, as she was studying the temple ruins left behind by Odin, as requested by Lu Ming.

This area is practically the core of the massive city wall's operation; countless movable walls that rise out of thin air rely on this core for control. It also monitors most of the city's situation, including the external isolation barriers.
