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

boom!

The device, which looks like an ancient instrument, has the launching capabilities of a modern missile.

The Noble Phantasm fell like a meteor, piercing through layers of enemy shadows and exploding into a huge fireball as blazing as the sun.

My Delusional Girlfriend, Airi

Introduction: Symptoms of paranoia vary from person to person.

For example, you might imagine a beautiful older sister with pink hair who has been by your side since childhood and becomes your one and only companion.

She'll teach me how to use Honkai energy, how to save the world, and how to bully other beautiful girls...

Bai Ye stretched out his hand and made a gun-like gesture in a slightly childish way: "Although it sounds strange, I am undoubtedly a severe paranoiac."

Kiana: "Then why aren't you taking your medicine?"

Bai Ye: "Because I'm dating a ghost-type older sister."

Kiana slowly typed a question mark: "She's your girlfriend? What about me?"

Baiye: ...

"Dude, stop saying disgusting things."

Volume 1: Chapter 34 What's with this chain of suspicion?

Boom boom boom!

Several more Noble Phantasms flew into the air.

Clusters of fireballs expanded into pillars of fire, the terrifying sight resembling the raging flames of judgment bursting through hell.

The dark figures scattered and were then blown into the air like moths burning their lives before they died, the huge explosion shaking the earth.

Ishtar felt as if her head was being shaken by a thunderous commotion.

Lu Ming's expression was focused; he looked like a ruthless artilleryman on the battlefield, reaping lives with abandon.

Suddenly, he stopped moving and looked down to find his hands empty.

It exploded by accident.

Looks like I'll have to go back and get some more.

"Hey, don't rush off. What have you been doing for the past three hours? What new tricks have you come up with?"

She grabbed Lu Ming, who was about to walk back to "replenish his ammunition".

No wonder Lu Ming was confident he had a compromise that would satisfy both sides!

So they're just using these magical artifacts like disposable projectiles.

That's right. Once the shells are used up, there's no need for them to haul them away on trucks. At the same time, they can still strike at the enemy's manpower, and even carve out a path for themselves, which is not a problem.

But then again...

This extravagant and unrestrained approach of using a large number of Noble Phantasms as ammunition and then detonating their immense magical power is something even Gold Pikachu wouldn't easily do.

In fact, very few Servants do this, unless they are skilled at projecting various Noble Phantasms (Emiya), or have enough Noble Phantasms to supply the front lines of the battlefield (Caster Gilgamesh).

Generally, Noble Phantasms, being part of a Servant's Spirit Origin, are equivalent to damaging one's own Spirit Origin once used. They are essentially Odin's treasures, which he can squander without a second thought.

"Do you really want to know what I did?"

Ishtar raised her eyebrows and glared at him, "Then tell me!"

Actually, she wanted to take this opportunity to discuss whether they could save some money.

Although these Noble Phantasms came from Odin, Ishtar felt a sense of familiarity and connection with them, and it would be a waste to throw them all out as disposable firecrackers.

When did this goddess suddenly develop a money-grubbing streak?

Lu Ming shook his head.

"You know the rules. If you want to know, come and get it yourself."

He pointed to the empty launch pad above the projectile device next to him, which resembled a large crossbow.

There were also piles of magical artifacts stacked in the distance on the first-floor corridor, waiting to be loaded.

This will take quite a few trips.

At this moment, Ereshkigal was busy setting up the defensive line, Francesca was helping Lu Ming write runes by hand, and continued learning runes. The only one with nothing to do right now was this goddess.

Thus, Ishtar's profession changed from a temporary alchemy teacher who was no longer effective to a temporary gunner.

His special task was to engage Lu Ming in artillery fire, requiring them to fight fiercely in the open field amidst a raging storm...

Of course, it's a proper... sex session.

"Actually, the matter inside is not complicated. As the saying goes, it is important for people to know their own limitations. When I saw the runes covering the walls and ceiling, I realized that this was just the tip of the iceberg of Odin's terrifying dominance in this field."

"After all, my own talent is limited. The skills I have studied and researched, and the time I have spent cultivating, are all far behind Odin's. I am afraid that even if I try my best to catch up, I will be far behind."

"According to Ai Lei's statistics, the seals on warehouses 1 through 8 contain over a thousand runes. I wondered how long it would take to break them?"

Ishtar's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

Here it comes again, that feeling is back. That familiar opening...

"But Ishtar, you must understand that the strength of humans as intelligent life forms lies in their ability to learn and to use their ingenuity to solve difficult problems!"

"That's why I racked my brains and came up with a solution: to use 'split thinking' to create a personality that is good at rune research."

Upon closer reflection, the previously split Odin personality was too crude and lacked refinement. In terms of talent, the "Odin personality mode" is better at imitating Odin himself, especially in terms of performance in battle.

Rune research requires a more professional and meticulous way of thinking.

"So I tried split thinking again. I still clearly remember that it took me at least eight hours the first time I tried. That painful failure is something I can't forget. But thankfully, hard work pays off!"

"Through my usual unremitting efforts, I have indeed made some progress this time, and I completed the new personality in less than two hours. Next, I spent another hour breaking the seals on the remaining warehouses."

Lu Ming sighed as he said this, "Phew! The reason I was able to crack it so easily is because I've been dealing with Odin for decades, studying and figuring out His runes."

Then, with a casual wave of his hand, the intense magical fluctuations were no longer concealed.

Rune characters appeared in mid-air, dancing on the palm like burning flames. Then, with a flick of the wrist, the runes flew into the magical weapon and disappeared.

But terrifying firepower is already hidden within.

That's how the Noble Phantasm "Ammunition" came about.

A new personality brings new skills and expertise, which makes perfect sense, right?

"Thanks to the little tricks brought by the new personality, I can perform some precise operations, such as outputting energy into void text, but it is still a bit of a stretch, and I almost missed the last minute."

Lu Ming still felt a lingering fear when he thought about it. What if he had been a step too late? What if Odin's army had arrived ahead of him?

Is their defense line about to be breached?

He secretly warned himself that he must not be complacent or careless because of temporary success, but must continue to work hard to improve himself, otherwise one mistake would lead to utter ruin.

Ishtar was utterly shocked.

This move is a testament to Caster's mastery of the primordial runes!

You mean you used split thinking to create a personality that represents your rune magic talent, and then in just about an hour, you reached the professional level of a god-level magician?

You think you're not perverted enough?

I'm almost getting cerebellar atrophy from listening to this, thank you.

……

Outside, in Xueyuan City, at the Correctional Center.

【Fadius, why contact me at this particular time? How is your search for the Lesser Grail progressing?】

"Gentlemen, you can rest assured that things are progressing well," Fadius said in a deep voice.

He was clutching a stack of copies of "The Abyss of Odin" that he had read many times.

On one side is an analysis report of the relevant intelligence, marked with two lines of striking red annotations:

Technical details of the "Laplace Computer Magic" are suspected to be from Atlas Institute;

Years ago, traces of Clock Tower members were found in Nevada.

"However, I have a question for you. Do you know about the Laplace computer demon regarding Area 51?"

Fadius's gaze fell on the words "members of the Clock Tower".

"Odin's Abyss" shows that this computer science project involved at least three parties, excluding America and Atlas Academy.

There aren't many forces qualified to join forces with these two sides.

If you remove the churches that frequently oppose the higher-ups, you'll mostly be left with only the clock tower.

Furthermore, this is combined with the warning in "Odin's Abyss" that the mastermind behind the scenes had long been in cahoots with the upper echelons of America.

So the backstory of this Holy Grail War wasn't just about America humiliating the Clock Tower and then the higher-ups being unable to withstand the pressure from the Clock Tower.

Instead, they made a deal with a Lord!

……

America's Capitol Hill, a secret cabin hidden deep in the woods.

High-ranking officials and dignitaries who regularly frequent the White House and the Pentagon are engaged in a heated argument.

How did Fadius know that?

"It's a project from decades ago, and the data has long been destroyed. Even if we force our way into the base, we won't be able to find out about the project from back then!"

"Could it be 'that person' from the clock tower? He's the only one left who knows the truth."

"He's been out of the project and living in seclusion in his workshop for years, how could he possibly leak information to Fadius?"

"It's possible that this Lord of Astronomy, Marisbury, is interested in the Holy Grail War and has made some kind of deal with Fadius!"

Volume 1: Chapter 35 Old Director: Who framed me!

The mountainous region outside London, Britain.

This is the territory of the Animusfia family of the Celestial Science Institute.

Most clock tower magic workshops are located underground in the City of London.

However, due to the family's need for magic research, the Celestial Science Department chose a mountainous highland area far from the city, based on the environmental conditions that are closer to the stars.

In the vast and elegantly decorated manor house, the young girl Olga Marie arranged her silver-white braids, and with the help of her maids, put on an exquisite formal suit and crimson stockings, beginning her day as the monarch's representative.

These daily routines are actually not easy.

Unlike those spoiled brats who were abandoned by their families, he had taken the position of family heir and monarch's representative, and was now in charge of almost all the affairs of Animusfia.

They were born with a life of hard work.

Due to the long distance between her family's residence and the headquarters at the Clock Tower in London, Olga Marie often had to spend an entire day on horseback or in a carriage to make it to various business.

Although she had to travel, Olga Marie never clung to her home.

In her eyes, magicians are lonely creatures who should naturally be strong and bear everything alone.

'Silly Mary, head up, chest out!'

Olga Marie always kept in mind the words of her former governess, Trisha, and over the years, she has become increasingly independent and mature.

She walked without stopping, as if it were a daily routine, until she reached a large door at the end of the corridor. She knocked twice and, with impeccable manners, said, "Father, good day."

He immediately turned and left.

Although Olga Marie was granted the power of monarchical proxy by her father, Marisbury.

But the father also said that he no longer had any expectations for his daughter.

Since then, her father has almost never left his workshop, and the number of times he sees her is very few throughout the year. Even his daughter's daily greetings are just formalities; he never opens the door to invite anyone in.

Maris Billy no longer loved her, and she no longer expected her father's affection. Their relationship was characterized by coldness and indifference.

Olga Marie didn't quite understand the deeper meaning behind that "expectation".

I don't understand what could be more important than the family business of astrophysics.

There was only one thing she knew.
