After clearing Type Moon, start fighting for a better world

The house that Otto prepared for Xiachuan Hu was the same as Siegfried's house next door, a two-story detached house with all the conditions to accommodate up to four people living together.

"I originally just wanted a single room... Never mind, this is fine too."

After clearing out the things in the living room and making a large open space, Xia Chuanhu rummaged through the house, found some things that he probably wouldn't need, and transformed them all into gems, totaling about a dozen or so.

[Matter Transformation Magic] is the foundation of the foundations of alchemy. It also incorporates the concept of [Displacement Magic]. In a sense, it can be regarded as Natsukawa Tiger's original magic, which can be used without a magic base.

After all, he had been a magic king for a while, so it was easy for him to develop a small magic that was convenient enough for him.

The gems were placed in order and in a certain pattern on the vacated space, then he cut his wrist, deliberately suppressed his self-healing ability, and let the blood flow down. As he walked, the blood dripping on the ground combined with the gems to form a complex magic ritual array.

Generally speaking, it is best to use a medium with better magic flow properties when constructing a ritual, such as mercury, but Xiachuanhu's blood - or body fluids - are superior to any medium in nature, and the gems are just auxiliary and act as nodes.

"Well, that's enough."

After licking the remaining blood on his wrist, Xia Chuanhu squatted down, pointed his finger at a gem, and injected his magic power into it.

next moment--

"Buzz!"

Starting from this gem, a stream of light suddenly spread throughout the magic circle. The lifeless gem and blood immediately seemed to come alive, showing an extremely vital appearance, emitting a vigorous glimmer. The magic circle itself also emitted a strange aura in this glimmer.

"Start linking."

"Requesting for inter-universe communication with the mothership Chaos. Applicant codename: [Contact Person]."

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle————!

The magic circle itself immediately burst into a light that scattered like lightning, as if there was a problem with the circuit. At the same time, many cracks appeared on the surface of each gem, as if it could not bear the pressure and was on the verge of collapse.

This is indeed the case.

"Snapped!"

As a gem was shattered, the entire magic circle suddenly lost its active light as if the power was cut off, and the remaining gems also dimmed and shattered one after another.

"As expected, it won't work."

Not surprised by this situation, Xiachuanhu just waved his hand, collected all the debris with the wind and threw them into the trash can.

He had not thought that he could contact his support in one go. After all, the two of them were not in the same world now. If he could contact the other party with this hastily made magic circle, then Xia Chuanhu would feel that the situation was not so urgent. After all, as long as he could contact the other party, then going back would no longer be a problem.

"The next step is to try to contact Chaldea."

He continued to search the house and transformed some gems in the same way. Then Xia Chuanhu slightly changed the appearance of the magic circle and then input magic power again to activate it.

"Buzz~~~!"

Different from before, this time a slightly softer light appeared, and spots of light like dancing petals appeared in the air.

Then--

"Buzz!"

Like a virtual projection, a human-shaped shadow suddenly appeared from the gem in the center of the magic circle!

(Works?! Can we contact Chaldea?!)

Xia Chuanhu and the others widened their eyes. How could a cross-world connection be so easy to work? !

"Ahem, is that Chaldea? Can you hear me? This is Xiachuan."

“Rustle…rustle…rustle…rustle…rustle…rustle….”

Probably in response to Xia Chuanhu's words, the human-shaped light and shadow made a sound, but it was like an old TV with a bad signal that could not receive specific images. The light and shadow itself was quite unstable, and the sound coming from the other side was also very vague, making it impossible to hear what was being said.

(It seems like.....the communication can only be done unilaterally from my side?)

Xia Chuanhu paused and said, "Since the communication signal is not good at the moment, let me first explain the situation on my side - [I am fine. Although it may take a long time to go back, don't worry about me]."

"rustle----!"

The shaking of the figure became more intense, and at the same time, the magic circle showed the same reaction as before. Light like sparks flew everywhere, and cracks appeared on the gems.

Is this all we can hold out for?

With a helpless sigh, Xia Chuanhu interrupted the output of magic power and wanted to end the communication.

But just before he stopped his magic power—

"Om-!"

Along with the appearance of a flash of light, Xia Chuanhu suddenly felt a very familiar feeling. The magic circle that was originally fixed on the ground also emerged with a shadow and turned stiffly in the air.

then--

A flower appeared in the magic circle.

Picking up the flower, Xia Chuanhu put it to his nose and sniffed it gently. The fragrance that he would never forget in his life made him suddenly think of the succubus who was always thinking about having fun with him all day long.

"...What? It turns out you're the one listening. It seems like I really don't need to worry about the situation over there."

"But, should I say you are really worthy of me? Although it is an illusion, you can actually interfere with me by transferring spirit particles. In this way, I won't be surprised even if you come to me at any time."

"But for the good of the world, you'd better not come here - Meili."

————————————————————————————

Type-Moon World, Antarctica.

Chaldea, control room.

"squeak--!"

As the door opened, a girl in a Chaldean uniform trotted in and came straight to the man sitting in the commander-in-chief's seat.

"I'm sorry I'm late, Sister Meili. What's going on?"

"Hmm~~~ not very good."

Beside the podium, the flower magician smiled as if he had walked out of a dream: "Just like usual, I received a message from a street urchin who didn't care about his family~~~ I can only say that he is worthy of being our prince. Living a peaceful life is really out of his reach~~~"

"--elder brother?"

The girl immediately thought of who the person the woman was talking about was.

"Hmm~~~ Although I can roughly imagine his attitude, it's not my style to just listen to him - I think you feel the same way, right? Lingyi? I'll leave the calculations to you, but you must find a way to get to the prince as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, Gray will have several more [sisters]."

"Sister Meili!"

The gray-haired girl, who had the same appearance as the legendary King Arthur, still gave a somewhat shy reaction, just like when she was young.

But she also had to admit that her sister Mary was right.

Although he has restrained himself a lot after marrying someone close to him ten years ago, his luck with women is still uncontrollable. If you give him three days, at least five more women's phone numbers will immediately appear in his phone!

13. So-called "gentleness" and "understanding"

After establishing a unilateral contact with Chaldea, Xia Chuanhu no longer worried about the things over there. After all, as long as the information could be conveyed to Chaldea, it meant that everyone related to him knew about his affairs, and someone would naturally handle the subsequent matters, so he didn't need to worry about it.

It has been like this for so many years. He and his family have long established such a tacit understanding. To put it bluntly, this time it's just a short journey. Even if he doesn't know why he came to this world and how to go back, everything will work out when the time comes.

According to Xiachuanhu's experience, as long as he can [save] this world that is deeply troubled by disasters, he will naturally be able to return to his original world.

I haven’t been a savior for so many years in vain; this is all based on experience.

And now, after a day of rest, Xia Chuanhu arrived in the morning of the second day of the Collapse World——

"Is this the cemetery of destiny?"

In the public cemetery of Tianming, Xiachuanhu, led by Siegfried and Kiana, has now arrived here.

Like many cemeteries that Xia Chuanhu had visited before, there was nothing special about this place. At most, the environment was a little better. But in this environment full of birdsong and flowers, the rows of tombstones did not arouse any interest in appreciating the scenery.

This is not a place to appreciate, nor is it a place to relax.

"Where is Lady Cecilia's grave?"

"This way, follow me."

Siegfried didn't even think for a moment and walked directly on the path he remembered.

In the five years since Cecilia's death, he would come here from time to time except for the anniversary of her death once a year. He knew that no matter what he did, his wife would never come back, but when he didn't know where to go, he would come here.

As for Kiana, she would only come on the anniversary of her death. She is now at the stage of thriving growth, and it would be inappropriate to bring her to the cemetery all the time.

Not long after following Siegfried and Kiana, Xia Chuanhu saw a tombstone that was obviously larger than the other tombstones around it and had better craftsmanship.

All the tombstones in the Destiny Public Cemetery are of the same standard. After all, no matter who you were in life, you will be the same after death. All those sleeping here are Destiny warriors who sacrificed their lives to fight against the Honkai. There is no difference between them.

But Cecilia's identity is so special that she must be treated specially.

She is the S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny, the warrior most valued by Otto, the Saint of Shaniat, the goddess respected by everyone in Destiny... Under all circumstances, the special treatment given to Cecilia's tombstone did not actually attract any objections. After all, everyone knew that she deserved to be so different.

Placing the bouquet in his hand on the tombstone, Siegfried knelt on one knee in front of it: "I came to see you again, Cecilia, with Kiana. It feels like I haven't been here for a long time... Actually, I just came here last month."

"Mom... Dad and I are here to see you."

Kiana also placed the flowers in her hand on her current tombstone, pinching the hem of her skirt with both hands, her voice slightly sobbing.

Even though five years have passed, the impact of the Second Honkai Impact has gradually disappeared, and Destiny is steadily recovering, but for Siegfried and Kiana, and even for many other people who have lost their loved ones, the Second Honkai Impact has left them with an impact that will never disappear.

Xia Chuanhu didn't say anything, but just stood quietly aside, temporarily leaving the time to the father and daughter.

He had seen many funerals and too many similar situations. To be honest, this scene could no longer stir up too much fluctuation in his heart. His heart was like steel and would not be easily affected by the outside world. To put it more cruelly, he wanted to interrupt Siegfried and Kiana directly and let him immediately exorcise the synthetic spirit.

It's not like he hasn't done this kind of thing before, but the situation back then was different from now. It was more urgent and pressing.

And now he is just doing what he thinks is right based on his own [understanding].

[People should not be disturbed when they are reminiscing about the past, and time should be left for those related to the deceased] - this is part of Xiachuan Hu's [understanding] and [tenderness].

The same as yesterday.

"...Sorry to have kept you waiting."

After a short silence, Siegfried stood up, pulled Kiana aside, and left the seat to Xiachuanhu: "I'll leave it to you next."

"Okay—come out."

Arriving at Cecilia's grave and putting down the flowers in his hand, Xia Chuanhu directly called out the synthetic spirit hidden beside him. Cecilia, with a blank look in her eyes and a dull face, immediately appeared in front of her own grave.

And that was the moment it appeared.

"------"

The body, which was supposed to move only under Xia Chuanhu's orders, trembled slightly, and a few rays of light seemed to flash in its lifeless eyes.

“Were you touched by your own tombstone?”

Xia Chuanhu did not ignore this change. In other words, since the synthetic spirit body was a puppet that completely belonged to him, any change of it was under his control, so he clearly felt the changes in the situation of the synthetic spirit body at this moment.

"After all, it's your own tombstone, so it's reasonable for this to happen."

"Natsukawa...what's wrong?"

Siegfried was a little confused by Xiachuanhu's mumbling: "Is...what happened to Cecilia's soul?"

"Hmm~~~~ It can be considered as a reaction, just like a dragonfly will still tremble a few times even if its head is cut off. After all, it saw its own tombstone, and Cecilia naturally reacted - so, I will send her away like this?"

"...Well, please."

His wife is no longer here.

Siegfried knew this very well, and even if it was a soul, he didn't want his wife to continue to be used by others. Beside him, Kiana looked at the synthetic spirit and opened her mouth, but didn't say anything else.

Glancing at Siegfried's clenched hands, Xia Chuanhu sighed lightly and suddenly clapped his hands!

"Buzz~~~~"

A burst of holy light slowly bloomed from his body, and a special aura suddenly emanated.

In an instant, not sure if it was an illusion, Siegfried felt that Xia Chuanhu in front of him suddenly became very far away. He was clearly standing in front of him, but it seemed as if he was infinitely far away from him.
