"Hmm~~~I don't know!"

Vita answered confidently.

"It just popped into my head. So who are Holmes and Watson?"

"...Perhaps the most famous and classic image of [detective and assistant] in the world."

With a helpless sigh, Xia Chuanhu explained: "In 1887, Arthur Conan Doyle published the short story "A Study in Scarlet" in "The Strand Magazine", which established the two images of Sherlock Holmes and Watson. After that, this fictional detective and his assistant quickly became popular all over the world, becoming the world's famous detective and the prototype of many detective novels in later generations."

"You don't even know this kind of thing, but you know their names?"

"I already said it, it just occurred to me suddenly~~~So, I am Watson?"

"You are at best the Junior Detective Team - wait for me here."

Pulling Vita aside, who kept poking her head into the alley, Xia Chuanhu pointed at the alley. The garbage in the alley suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the trash cans that were stretched to the point of being deformed were all restored to their factory settings. The alley that was filled with a strange smell suddenly became clean, tidy, fresh and unobstructed!

"Wow!"

Vita cooperated and exclaimed: "You can do such a thing? Anyway, we have searched so many unrelated places along the way. What on earth are you looking for?"

Without answering Vita, Xiachuanhu took out the thing from his pocket and placed it on the ground in the alley.

It was a palm-sized metal object that looked like a part of the shell removed from a robot - this was what fell from the monster in the Quantum Sea. It was originally a part of his body, but after the monster was destroyed by the vacuum fault, this piece of metal was not destroyed, but remained very firmly.

There is nothing special about the appearance of the metal block itself. If it is analyzed, the only conclusion is that it is a piece of scrap metal.

But in Xia Chuanhu's eyes, this piece of metal was somewhat special.

“——【Declare (Set)】——”

After writing a circle of magic symbols around the metal block, Xia Chuanhu whispered an engineering spell, and magic power flowed out from his fingertips and sank into the runes, then surrounded the metal block, giving it a faint glow.

And the next moment——

"Clap!"

Something seemed to be [extracted] from the metal block, and a small light spot of a different color floated up, flew around in the air for a while, and then stopped at Xia Chuanhu's fingertips, and gradually turned into the same color as his magic power, but the difference was that Xia Chuanhu's magic power was pure gold, while the light spot on the fingertips was lighter, closer to platinum.

However, this distinction is not important. What is important is the [nature] of this light spot.

(As expected...)

“——It’s magic.”

In this world filled with Houkai energy, the special energy that should only be possessed by Xiachuanhu, the magic power, is now extracted from a mere piece of metal. Although in terms of [mass], this little magic power is less than one gram, but it is enough to illustrate a fact.

“…Let’s give it a try.”

Suppressing the thought that was rising in his mind, Xia Chuanhu wrapped the small ball of magic power with his own magic power, and then sent it towards the space in front of him.

"Buzz!"

After flying forward for a distance, the magic ball stopped in midair, and then slowly extended numerous threads in all directions, making the space itself appear to be [cracked]. Not long after, a light gate that was very similar to the [gate] of the quantum sea that Xiachuanhu and Vita had seen before appeared in the alley.

Vita couldn't help but widen her eyes: "...Mr. Xiachuan, what are you doing..."

"... Vita, tell the branch that I'm not going back today."

"Eh? Huh?"

This sudden instruction made Vita stunned for a moment.

At the same time, Xia Chuanhu directly materialized the holy sword and slashed at the light gate in front of him!

"Buzz!"

The still somewhat illusory light gate was directly split open by a sword, and the real gate to the quantum sea was immediately completely opened to Xia Chuanhu!

Without any hesitation, Xia Chuanhu stepped directly into the door. Seeing this, Vita wanted to chase him, but the door seemed to say "This place is full!" and suddenly closed by itself!

Looking at the empty alley in front of her, Vita's big eyes suddenly showed great confusion.

"This...I...then how should I get back next?"

"Why don't you tell me how to get back first, Mr. Xiachuan!"

29. Divine Voice from the Distant Void

Xiachuan Hu has been to many seas. He has been to every ocean in the world and has also dived directly into the Mariana Trench in the flesh.

But the moment he stepped into the quantum sea, he did not feel that he had arrived in the sea.

"A completely different dimension... a dimension that is different from the real world but closely related to it? It is very similar to the imaginary dimension, but it is a completely different existence in essence."

Over in the Type-Moon world, there are surprisingly few things related to the Quantum Sea. Most of them are related to the imaginary space. Xia Chuanhu also rarely encounters things related to the Quantum Sea... Mainly because the people in the magic world have never thought about thinking about this aspect, and without magicians causing trouble, naturally nothing happens.

To put it in an exaggerated way, if the Clock Tower was closed down and all the magicians were killed, all the troubles and suspicious cases in modern times would be reduced by 99%!

Similar to a blue-skinned scientist from the Kingdom of Light.

Keke, get back to business.

"So, the direction I should go next is... this way?"

There were no road signs or any guidance. Xia Chuanhu walked in a certain direction purely based on his intuition.

His intuition is 100% accurate.

Moreover, after actually stepping into this quantum sea, he vaguely felt a [call] coming from an unknown direction, as if somewhere in this quantum sea, someone was continuously emitting some kind of [signal].

Although I'm not sure whether the signal is sent to me, it won't hurt to go and take a look.

"Da da da......"

The footsteps echoed in the empty quantum sea.

Maybe it was because he was in the quantum sea, but Xia Chuanhu's mind gradually emerged with memories related to the quantum sea of ​​the collapsed world. Some of them he already knew, such as the experiments that Kokolia was going to do in the future, and the basic concept of the quantum sea, but there was another part...

“Tick~~~~!”

The sound of a sudden drop of water rang quietly in Xia Chuanhu's ears, and then, as if a wave was coming from far away, Xia Chuanhu felt that the space in front of him was rippling with waves. The space of the quantum sea, which was different from the space in the real world, was like a lake in the heavy rain, with large and small ripples spreading out one after another, and the layers of ripples filled the entire space in an instant.

Immediately—

“Click…”

At the end of the field of vision, the stairs and platforms extending from Xia Chuanhu's feet to the distance collapsed without any warning! The speed was so fast that it spread to Xia Chuanhu's surroundings almost instantly! And on the [other side] of the shattered space, a certain scene clearly appeared in the eyes of the Holy Sword Master!

[AAAAArrrrrrr————————! 】

snake.

A snake.

A snake so huge that you couldn't see the end of it, reminiscent of the Midgard Serpent in Norse mythology, appeared on the other side of the broken space with a roar. The space on the other side seemed to be completely occupied by it, and the overlapping bodies made it almost impossible for Xia Chuanhu to see the scene behind it.

I don’t know if it sensed the collapse of the space behind it, but like a giant snake roaring in the darkness, it turned its head and looked in the direction of Xia Chuanhu.

The distance between them could not be measured in physical units, and they stared at each other for a few seconds. Then, the giant snake spit out its tongue, and its dark green eyes turned to stare into the depths of darkness again.

[Leave Here]

[A new impact is coming]

Such a voice suddenly appeared in Xiachuanhu's mind.

(Projecting sound directly into the realm of consciousness... No, similar to the mental interference I did to Walter before? Let me get out of here... It's not impossible to understand.)

Anyone who comes here can understand at a glance the abnormality of the current space. Deep in the "other side", some special impact is continuously affecting the quantum sea, just like a tide. The first wave has temporarily broken down part of the barrier between the "other side" and "this side", but I am afraid that the second wave of impact will come soon.

In terms of distance...

"That's almost 580,000 kilometers. Even if I were to leave, I wouldn't be able to do so immediately. Besides—"

【Magic Fill——1500%】

[Strengthen the effect of the technique, strengthen the effect of the technique, expand the range of the technique, expand the range of the technique, lock the target of the technique, and add automatic tracking]

[The technique unfolds——]

An extremely sacred golden light suddenly lit up from Xia Chuanhu's body!

A set of shining platinum armor slowly covered his body. The ordinary beautiful boy who seemed to be seen everywhere in the previous moment turned into a Gold Saint at this moment!

[Instructions: Hermes - Apply for execution]

【--license】

The mechanical sound, like an electronic synthesized sound, was projected directly into the depths of the soul.

Xia Chuanhu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and took a step naturally. It was this step that allowed him to cross a distance that was not easy to cross under common sense and directly come to the [other side]. Even the place where he stood was [deeper] even further forward than the place where he lifted up the giant snake.

Turning around, Xia Chuanhu looked at the snake in the darkness: "Thank you for your hard work. You have been resisting the impact here. Although the interference from the other side is not strong after crossing the dimension and the universe, it is not something that can be blocked casually. Leave it to me next. It is related to me in the first place."

【——————】

The snake, which had stopped roaring, did not react at all. It was just quietly examining Xia Chuan Hu. It was unclear what it was thinking from its dark green eyes.

Without paying any more attention to it, Xia Chuanhu turned to the [other side] and put his hand on his throat and pinched it a few times.

"Ah~~~Ah~~~Let me try the sound. I haven't used it for a long time. Ah~~~Ahem, well, it should be OK."

"——■■■■■!"

Words that could not be discerned by human ears and could not be expressed by human vocal cords were transmitted from Xiachuanhu's mouth to the depths of the "other side".

And as if in response to his voice, the mechanical voice appeared in his mind again.

[Received the specified key]

[After 1449 systems, confirm that the proxy entity has been reconnected]

[Suspension of the Dimension and Galaxy Interference System]

【Long time no see, contact person】

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for a while."

“——【Chaos】”

30. This is something that Mary can do

Chaos.

The most primitive god in Greek mythology, the beginning and start of the world, the most original Greek god, equivalent to the existence of chaos itself.

——That’s what the myth itself is like.

However, in the Type-Moon world, the so-called Greek gods, including Chaos, are not actually gods native to the Earth, but gods who came from [another universe] different from the universe that is widely known today - [Star Fleet].

That was an unknown number of years ago. In the universe, there existed a civilization with extremely advanced technology that was countless times ahead of Earth. The intelligent life forms of that civilization were even capable of accomplishing something that only existed in science fiction novels on Earth.

Dyson Sphere

An interstellar super-giant mothership that uses an entire star as its power source and absorbs all of the star's energy, a celestial sphere-type super-dimensional fortress, and a huge artificial celestial body that would take who knows how many millennia to create using human means.

That is Chaos, the first Greek god and also the first machine god, a supernatural god who merged into the void of space and time in the universe.

The subsequent "Second Generation Gods" headed by Kronos in Greek mythology and "Third Generation Gods" headed by Zeus are also similar to Chaos. However, compared with Chaos who is a Dyson sphere, the second and third generation mecha gods are much inferior in function.

According to the Type-Moon official history and what Natsukawa Tora learned from the Greek gods, tens of thousands of years ago, the universe where the highly intelligent civilization that created Chaos and other mecha gods existed ushered in the [end] of that universe.

In order to avoid the predetermined end and to revive the mother planet, Chaos, as the first-generation mothership, consumed 97% of its own functions and sent all the Mecha Gods that were still running except itself to the universe of pan-human history, and ordered the Mecha Gods to search for a star that can serve as a second mother planet in the new universe.

In the end, the destination that the Greek gods found in the sea of ​​stars was the Earth.

However, 14,000 years ago, due to the passing of the predatory planet and the coming of the white giant, all the Greek Mecha gods lost their Mecha bodies and became conceptual gods belonging to the Earth, unable to continue to execute the orders from Chaos. So as a replacement, and at the request of Natsukawa Tora himself, the mission of reviving the mother planet is now fully entrusted to Natsukawa Tora.

For Chaos, which is far away in another universe, it can no longer contact the Mecha Gods who have lost all their bodies, so Xiachuan Hu is the only individual that can contact the Mecha Gods.

【Contact】

This is where the name comes from.

Standing in the infinite chaos, separated by a distance measured in the universe, Xia Chuanhu looked into the distance where he could not actually see anything: "Although I had guessed this possibility on the way here, I am still a little surprised now that I have actually contacted you again."

"I didn't expect you to try to interfere with this world just because you were disconnected from me. This must be a very burdensome operation for you, right? Are the remaining functions enough?"

[Sufficient residual function]
