"Um, mom, you haven't been back for a long time!" Illya blushed and was very happy with her mother's praise.

Chapter 242 High-dimensional Information Recording Media

Illya had just escaped from a tense battle, and was naturally extremely happy and relaxed when she saw her mother whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

After seeing Irisviel's figure, she subconsciously wanted to rush over.

But in the end, Illya thought of something and gradually stopped, just walked in front of her mother and said, "Mom."

“Hmm?” Seeing that her daughter was not as excited as usual and even ignored her hug, Irisviel did not feel awkward at all. She was just curious about what her daughter seemed to want to say: “If you have anything to say to mom, just say it. Mom is listening.”

"Mom, actually..." Illya wondered how to explain the existence of Chloe, and whether her mother knew about it was also a question. Although Chloe claimed that she was sealed by her mother, what she said was really...

Under the gaze of several people in the living room, Illya hesitated for a while, but finally believed Chloe based on the feeling she had gained from spending time with her during this period of time. Illya trotted to the outside of the living room and shouted, "Everyone, come in!"

"Hey, this is——" When Irisviel saw Illya coming in again, there were two girls of the same age behind her. One was a quiet girl with black hair and fair skin, and the other was... a girl with a darker complexion, but other physical features were exactly the same as those of the Einzbern family.

"Mom, this is my classmate, Luvia's younger sister, Miyu Edelfeldt," Illya introduced them one by one, "and her, Chloe... this is my..."

"——Ha, Illya, if you can't express yourself well, forget it." Chloe didn't expect Illya to admit that she was the elder sister, or really had the nerve to force her to say that she was the younger sister in front of her mother. "Listen carefully, I'm Chloe von Einzbern, hello, uh, mother..."

Seeing Chloe's stuck performance, Illya thought to herself, how is your performance better than mine? It was obviously me who insisted on showing off in front of my mother, how embarrassing is this?

However, Chloe's thoughts were very different from what Illya thought.

Chloe had memories from her infancy, and she knew that the person in front of her was "the good mother who sealed everything about her." If... she didn't know anything, she really wanted to chop her with her two swords.

But Chloe knew.

The tragic experience he had in another world line after he was not sealed.

She knew that what Irisviel did was the "right" choice.

But despite this, Chloe is still a child. She... doesn't want to acknowledge that Irisviel is her mother. It's not that she disagrees with her mother's ideas, but it's simply an emotional issue. She is unwilling to accept it, throws a tantrum, and refuses to bow her head.

Moreover, how could it be possible for a little child like her to willingly and calmly accept all this by sacrificing her freedom to avoid tragedy?

"..."

Chloe paused, she looked at Irisviel who fell into silence, it seemed like a silent confrontation.

But Irisviel did not stop, she hugged Chloe first.

"Well--!"

“…I don’t know what’s going on,” Irisviel explained to Chloe in a low voice:

"——But Chloe, you make me feel very close to you, just like Illya. Hehe, you know? The relationship between mother and daughter is connected by love, and nothing (seal) can stop it... And, Illya just wanted to explain Chloe's matter to me just now, so it seems that you two have been getting along well."

"...Her? I won't go with that Illya." Chloe retorted softly. Then she felt embarrassed to be held by her mother alone in front of everyone, so she pushed the embrace away shyly.

“Hey, okay, now—” Irisviel narrowed her beautiful eyes, “I should explain what happened~”

----------

This world.

"The results are out." Shion walked into the Second Event Hall. She passed through the heavy door and received the latest research results of the "Class Card".

After obtaining the class card data, Qin Xuan temporarily set up a research team. The team was divided into two directions. One was to use the technology of the Age of Gods Atlas Academy obtained from the Alexandria Library to further interfere with and operate the class cards in order to achieve the goal of developing more functions.

The second is to use Ayuan's final weapon prototype, the Rifa Reaction, to forcibly crack the intelligence data on the card.

Shion brought the latest cracked data.

"What's the result?" Qin Xuan asked.

"It's a bit hard to imagine, I mean in a good way," Shion was also quite interested in this "prop" that was said to be held in a parallel world. In fact, she originally wanted to learn about the Holy Grail War in this world, but she didn't expect that the one that arrived first was the parallel world version.

"It's actually the spiritual base record... No, it's the high-density soul intelligence of the heroic spirit itself!" Qin Xuan was indeed surprised.

Logically speaking, according to the Holy Grail War summoning method of this world, the records of the servants who descended are just one aspect of the Heroic Spirit itself pulled down from the realm record tape through fate (holy relics, etc.). Due to the complexity of the related legends and adaptability issues, it is very difficult to obtain all the information about a Heroic Spirit, especially a famous Heroic Spirit.

Just like in the theory of "Astral World", the soul has "substance" and "end". End is the "information end" of the soul, which is the so-called "soul" existing in the flesh of living people in the human cognition of the lepton structure. The real "substance" is still in the astral world which is higher than the dimension of the material world.

The soul (spirit construct) has a core called the "ghost body", and the structures created by the Atlas Institute using pseudo-spirit technology also have an "information core", and the Heroic Spirit Servants also have a "spirit core".

"...From the basic model, they are essentially similar, so..." Qin Xuan had a guess, "the existence of the 'entity' information records on these cards is quite problematic——"

The Astral Realm that involves the Third Law and eternity is a higher dimension relative to the material plane. And for the servants who have descended, there is also an obvious higher dimension, that is, the Throne of Heroes, which is separated from the cause and effect of the world and independent of the timeline.

After listening to Qin Xuan's conjecture, Ziyuan said, "No way? The guy who made these cards has the means to directly obtain information from the main body of the Seat of Heroes (higher dimension)? The cards are the medium for recording higher-dimensional information?"

Chapter 243 I understand. Chloe is the God of Version

Why can the Class Card accurately link to the power of the Heroic Spirit?

Why can class cards independently summon, possess, and use power without the need for the (Holy Grail) system to operate?

Now it seems that the wording is not accurate enough. The card is not a link, it is "power" itself, a high-dimensional recording medium that preserves the soul information of the Heroic Spirit. Although if it is used in the material world, it still consumes the user's energy to materialize.

But Qin Xuan also immediately thought that if it was operated at the spiritual level, the cards could even be directly put into use and used in full.

From this point of view, this so-called "Rider" class should be an output form specially adjusted by the person who made the card. The class is not important. What is important is the power of the Heroic Spirit. As long as all the intelligence data of the Heroic Spirit is forcibly cracked, and then the output port forms of each different class are collected, the association itself is fully capable of reproducing a batch of class cards.

"Well, it makes sense. The next step is the verification phase, which is the responsibility of the card application development team."

Qin Xuan and Ziyuan discussed for a while and determined the next research direction.

"However, although this thing is a product of a parallel world, it is essentially an extension of the Holy Grail War," Qin Xuan suddenly remembered the issue of division of responsibilities. "From this point of view, this technology involving 'soul application' is not within the scope of event operation (Second Event Hall/Second Law), but should be within the scope of the Third Star Hall (Third Law)."

Shion raised her eyebrows after hearing this, "Why are you worried about this problem? Rin had already planned it when the grouping started, and assigned the card development team to the Third (Xingyou) Hall."

"Oh, well, I haven't been following the Association's activities lately, so I didn't notice this for a while."

Qin Xuan pondered for a while, "Oh, right? The development team is using the technology of the 'Age of Gods Atlas Institute', right? Tell the people in the team to make an additional version of the 'Heroic Spirit Card' with a larger specification. My requirement is to reach the 'Main God Level Spiritual Base', is there a problem with this?"

"No, the original Age of Gods technology was originally developed for divine bodies. The current difficulty... is nothing more than the carrying capacity limit of this card format."

"Okay," Qin Xuan was still thinking about what to say when a communication prompt interrupted him.

This is not an ordinary communication request. This special reminder is a communication from the parallel world, EARTH-KL.

"It seems... there is some new progress."

----------

The world of magic.

Emiya Kiritsugu had never thought that one day he would deal with a magician, no, rather, with someone who had a connection with a magician.

What's more, the person coming is probably not just a single person, but an entire technologically advanced organization.

Last night, after Irisviel learned of Qin Xuan's existence, she chatted with him for a while, and when she returned, she immediately informed Emiya Kiritsugu, who was also Illya's parent.

"Kiritsugu, are you nervous?"

Irisviel beside her smiled, not seeming to be at a loss about the unknown existence from the parallel world.

“Well, I guess so,” Kiritsugu extinguished the cigarette in his hand without any embarrassment and familiarly under the pressure of Irisviel’s eyes. “When it comes to parallel world operation, everyone will think of the former magic marshal of the (Clock Tower) Association. Although I don’t know what the relationship between that old man and that young man (Qin Xuan) is, but - ah, we only know this, and we don’t know the rest. This is the biggest horror.”

What's more, Irisviel only learned about it from the conversations between Toosaka Rin, Luvia and three children. In Emiya Kiritsugu's opinion, such information is not comprehensive at all, and the means of crossing the world is not that simple.

If one is not a magician, even with the gift of a magician, it is still very difficult to travel freely, unless there is additional support from another technology.

Moreover, Toosaka Rin and Luvia... were magicians who originally belonged to the Clock Tower, and they actually cooperated with that person's actions. This proves that even if the person himself has not come here yet, he has the means to interfere across the world.

No matter which one, in the eyes of the modern magic world, it is an act comparable to a "miracle". Even a magician like Emiya Kiritsugu knows that if a miracle can be achieved, apart from the magicians established in the modern environment, only the mysteries from the Age of Gods can do it.

"Haha, Kiritsugu, don't look so sad," Irisviel said jokingly. In this world, it seems that the status of men in the family is always inferior, and Emiya Kiritsugu cannot be strong in front of Irisviel at all.

"There's still time. Now is not the time for those 'guests' to come. Toosaka Rin said that the ley lines and other things still need some time to prepare."

Irisviel said something that made Emiya Kiritsugu even more nervous as if nothing had happened. "Kiritsugu, you always look at things from this perspective. You should ask someone carefully. She is the one who knows the other person best."

Compared to Emiya Kiritsugu's rational thinking, Irisviel was more concerned about the question of "what kind of person is Qin Xuan?" Therefore, Irisviel did not learn in detail the kind of information that Emiya Kiritsugu was concerned about, but picked out the key points and talked to the children about their experiences during this period.

Being well versed in the ways of the world, she quickly judged Qin Xuan's actions, so she was not nervous.

"The one who knows each other best?" Emiya Kiritsugu turned his head, "Airy, you mean--"

"Yes, why not ask our beloved daughter?" Irisviel smiled gently, "Kiritsugu, you haven't visited Illya for a long time, right? Really, when I went back yesterday, you refused to go back."

"This..." Emiya Kiritsugu's pain point was really touched and he was unable to refute.

----------

On the other hand, Illya, Miyu, and Chloe are still struggling to complete the "Ryougi Shiki Trial Level".

"Why...why did the detection technique fail?"

At the new "beginning", Illya and the other two looked around nervously. The magic wands gave feedback that everything was normal, but -

"Whoosh!"

In fact, no sound was made, but Illya and the others seemed to hear a long whistle of the air being cut.

"Get away!"

Now only Chloe used the power of the Heroic Spirit Card to the maximum, using her intuitive mind to detect the direction of the attack. The other two were unable to react at all.

"—"

In silence, the ground beneath our feet was easily split apart by the power of death.

Chapter 244: Seven Days, Seven Swords: Heavenly Dragnet

"thump."

The two magical girls were pulled hard by Chloe and fell to the side in a mess. They looked a little dirty. But it didn't matter. They avoided the attack again.

At the place where the three people were just now, a dense soul steel wire flew past, and its sharp cutting cut on a certain invisible "line". Then the ground cracked, and all the land where it passed fell apart, as if structures that were in conflict and deviation from each other, with completely chaotic structures, were torn and scattered into pieces of thin fragments.

"Strange! Why doesn't the spell work--" Illya muttered.

Chloe interrupted in annoyance, "What's the point of worrying about that? The enemy attacked like this just because of this."

Chloe knew that the technique was just for convenience of use. After all, the technique was created by humans, and everything human had flaws.

Illya is now too dependent on the magic wand. Without the magic wand, or if the magic wand is restrained, she will be unable to do anything... This is not acceptable.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but Ryougi Shiki's "ruthless" training just revealed the trio's current shortcomings. Her presence and attacks were completely unpredictable, which not only made the magic wand's built-in detection ineffective, but also made Miyu and Illya afraid to use large-scale bombardment techniques.

——The preparation of the magic cannon takes time. Although it was successful against the previous opponents, it was completely insufficient compared to Ryougi Shiki’s speed.

The reason why they could not predict Ryougi Shiki's movements and attacks was very simple: Ryougi Shiki simply "killed" the "footsteps", "breath", "energy fluctuations" and other factors when she moved.

It sounds outrageous, but Ryougi Shiki succeeded in doing it. Compared to Shiki, another person with the ability of death intuition, who relied on footwork and assassination techniques to achieve this, Ryougi Shiki directly extended the ability of death intuition to various aspects, directly eliminating his own "flaws" from the ability level.

"That's not right!" Illya tried her best to deny this situation. She also planned to find another way out. "Even if it doesn't work on the ground, it shouldn't be a problem to fly high in the sky!"

As she spoke she rushed up into the sky in one breath.

"——!" Miyu's heart tightened. Illya's idea was not wrong. It was necessary to test the enemy's anti-aircraft means again, but she had a bad premonition, so she flew up as well.

"Really? One by one!" Chloe looked at the two people in the air helplessly. "I say, since this is a place that has been challenged before, will the enemy not be on guard? You are too naive!"

Did Chloe's words get through?

Maybe Miyu heard it, but Illya didn't stop.

"Huhuhu————"

The strong wind whistled in my ears. The changes of light and shadow between the buildings were repeated during the rapid flight of the two magical girls. The empty doors and windows on all sides always stared at them from a dark perspective.

"Illya——"

Miyu shouted from the side, "Be careful of the enemy attacking from below!"

"I know!" Illya has learned her lessons from these battles. She is actually preparing a spell, not an external one, but directly speeding up and shortening the process through internal magic circuits, plus flying high in the sky, so she should be able to buy some time.

The magic device that had undergone similar upgrades to Miyu was shining in Illya's hands. It was the Heart of the Rising Sun, Phoenix Cloud. It had more functions and its combat assistance was smarter and more accurate. A faint glow traveled through the magic transmission path of the magic device, and a voice that only she could hear rang out:

Buster set.

“——Exelion Buster!!”

Illya's magic power shot out from her magic wand, just like magic ammunition that had been loaded long ago bursting out from the barrel of a gun. This time it was not a simple direct-fire magic cannon. Since she said she wanted to test it, it was of course a diffuse shooting -

The sudden attack from below that Miyu was worried about never happened, but was the danger over?
