People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

The red wind pressure spread rapidly in all directions. It was a compressed and reversed storm fault. It was a torrent of creation that took space and the world itself as its target of crushing. It was the oldest mythical weapon that separated heaven and earth and divided the world into two in ancient times. This was the sword of creation, the ultimate sword that surpassed many earthly swords.

"My holy spear pierces through everything!!"

In the sky, the dragon/god named Gray declared that she had merged her hard dragon scale leather armor with the divine element called the Holy Lance, just like the combination of the original primitive species and the original Gaia spirit. The light was just a tiny, black and white dot, but the power was like a presence that penetrated the heavens and the earth.

The claws of the dragon are also the sharp blade of the holy spear.

The violent storm of the holy spear is also the violent power of the dragon.

The combination of the two is enough to suffocate people just by its existence, to penetrate everything, to open up a path forward. ——Until a stream of light that becomes the ultimate, forming a storm that devours energy and breaks through obstacles, the unique spear collides with the dense red fault that presses across space and creates the world, the unrivaled sword——

"Danger!"

Illya was pushed by Chloe, and the next moment, a beam of lightning exploded at her feet, leaving the place charred.

At this time, Illya, Chloe, and Miyu were already approaching the Ainsworth Castle in the center of Fuyuki City. The three of them sneaked over when Bazette, Gray and the Ainsworth family were fighting.

To be honest, the journey was quite difficult. Difficult does not mean that they needed to sneak along, but that they had to avoid the chaotic attacks on the battlefield at all times to avoid being accidentally injured by friendly forces.

The outrageous confrontation between Bazett and Beatrice, Gray and Angelica, made Fuyuki City seem to be split into two. On one side was a world rendered by dusk, with thunder and divine light, while on the other side, there was first an orange-red sea of ​​fire, and then a red space fault storm that suppressed the sky and the earth.

No matter which side they were on, it was as if they were trapped in a mythical battlefield. The noise was so loud that it could not be any louder, and the earthquake under their feet never stopped. But even so, Miyu and Illya were both very obedient and did not dare to fly, because if they rashly flew into the sky, they would be more likely to be struck by lightning or hit by the terrifying red wind pressure.

"Ahhh, so everyone is so awesome?"

At first, Illya thought that she had gone through various trainings and had powerful magic items... well, how should I put it, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with everything like the protagonist? But she seemed to be starting to feel unsure when Gray and her friends, who were already very powerful, were able to fight the enemy like this.

"What do you think? Sister Gray and the others have received real combat training and have experience in direct confrontation with the enemy on the battlefield. Why should we compare them with those simulated combat experiences?"

Chloe said with her hands on her hips, since the three of them were running on the ground, she was the most relaxed and had enough energy to take care of Illya and Miyu.

"--We can see Ainsworth's castle ahead!" Miyu suddenly said.

At this time, all three of them looked over. In the huge central circular pit of Fuyuki City, the magnificent castle was clearly visible. Originally, the vision here should have been blocked. It seemed that the impact caused by the two battlefields in Fuyuki City was too great. Manguni's dusk thunderstorm, the earthquake caused by the Kaishan Sword, and especially the full release of the Kairen Sword, had seriously interfered with the replacement magic space structure of the Ainsworth Castle workshop.

"Very good! Looks like we don't need to rely on troublesome methods to find it."

After all, in this environment, it is quite dangerous to use the earth veins to travel.

Chapter 286 Record 5-[Super Subspace Spirit Substitution]

At this time, Ziyuan led her alchemist team back to the base. She had already made a rough guess, so she was going to start an additional project to transform the base. At the same time, she reported it to Qin Xuan.

"Are you going to prepare to modify the submersible now? Isn't that thing not yet complete?"

Qin Xuan couldn't help but ask when he saw Ziyuan's serious expression.

"To be exact, before we set out to this world, the submersible function had already been perfected, and the remaining functions were just testing functions. The same is true for the 'President's Personalized Edition' given to you."

Shion asked the alchemists to expand the existing space of the base by laying out the armored hull of the submarine and arranging the systems and peripherals that connect the various functional areas. Shion himself sorted out a lot of information, including a large amount of data reports obtained from the geological survey.

"We have found through analysis that there are a large number of areas with depleted elements on this land, and there are false mirror elements among them... Next, we will compare the 'dead zone' with the depleted area. The two are inclusive. There must be a depleted area around the dead zone, but there may not be a dead zone in the depleted area, or it may be that the dead zone has not yet formed."

"Then, I also read the data on displacement magic that you got from Ainsworth. In fact, the depleted area may be caused by some kind of displacement between the mirror world and reality, and this possible behavior is widely distributed and has a very long time span."

"Then your investigation also shows that Ainsworth has collected a large number of magic costumes and materials from all over the world on the first floor of the castle. This shows that Ainsworth has made many enemies but still became the final survivor... I think all the abnormalities are related to Ainsworth, and they are even the culprit for the planet's depletion."

Qin Xuan expressed his understanding, "I also think there is nothing wrong with this conjecture." In addition, the appearance of Gaia's incarnation, Miss Tanaka, actually directly confirmed the existence of the culprit. As a survival instinct, the restraining force will only be activated for the factors of destruction. It goes without saying who is the target of the activation.

"But what we need to focus on right now is Ainsworth's real method. What is the true nature of that replacement?"

"Well, this is what I have to be wary of," Shion pointed to the large area that was 'depleted', and then unfolded the function of the 'submarine'. "If such a large-scale replacement can be initiated under certain conditions, then we must equip ourselves with corresponding means to save personnel."

"——That is, through the dimension jump function of the earth vein submarine, we can leave the intrinsic world where the law is anchored. Ah, but in this case, it is more appropriate to describe this function as a 'dimensional boundary submarine', which means diving in the boundary gap (superposition state) between multiple dimensional deviation phenomena. In this way, even if the skin of the planet is peeled off, we can still have a safe base and counterattack support conditions."

"The epidermis is peeling off? Did you think of something?" Qin Xuan thought that one of the keys to the true appearance of the replacement was the substance in the dead zone. But it was hard to say what the nature of this was. I always felt that the law was too complicated, as if something was mixed together.

"I thought that displacement is based on the displacement of a two-dimensional plane in three dimensions. However, conceptually, the epidermis can also be a plane in nature. To be precise, it is a two-dimensional surface that is more complex than two-dimensional and has three-dimensional space dimensions."

Ziyuan's eyes met Qin Xuan's, and he suddenly understood a lot.

"You mean... a large-scale replacement of the planet's surface is equivalent to peeling off the skin of the planet, so the worlds anchored on the surface and back will become fragile accordingly?"

"Right? Considering that this was done by Ainsworth in ancient times through unknown means, the true history of the planet's decline is probably coming to light—"

"I see. It's Gray's conjecture, right? The Holy Lance was used to lay the foundation and anchor the human law, and the material used to build the Holy Lance includes 'God', so that the law of human law can be anchored on the surface as soon as possible. Ainsworth began to hinder human law before the Common Era... No, he usurped the material of God, and took away everything through that large-scale replacement."

"However, this kind of use is undoubtedly a blasphemy against God. The continuous 'disasters' on this planet and the 'death zone' that has appeared now are like the curse that God has accumulated over the years?"

Following this line of reasoning, the complex, death-filled alien laws of the Dead Zone are undoubtedly caused by the corpses of God and the curses that continue to accumulate on the corpses.

[I searched for a long time, but couldn't find the remaining text records in this box. ]

[And the notebook I read earlier... the content is a little incomplete. Maybe I opened the box violently just now, causing some of the data to be damaged? ]

[Forget it, it seems that I underestimated this unknown system of equipment before, which led to the consequences. It’s useless to regret it now. I decided to set up some warning equipment while this area is still safe, and then have a good rest. ]

[A night passed and nothing happened.]

【But what is unusual is that I had a dream. To be honest, it is not an important thing. However, this dream lingers in my mind. In the dream, I seem to have become a warrior with strange abilities. I have a sister, and I am... killing each other with Sakura? I laughed when I thought of this. How could it be possible? Sakura is the adopted daughter of my neighbor Matou family and my childhood sweetheart, and I am just an only child. I have never had a sister. How could I dream of such a thing? ...】

[I recorded the dream and continued on my way, but what I didn’t expect was that the discovery came even faster this time.]

[Only two kilometers away from the basement, an object similar to a recording device was found. ]

[After making sure that my actions would not damage the device, I clicked play:]

['Oh, that day, I witnessed the end of magicians, except for that devilish alchemist family.']

['A beam of destructive light descended from the universe - no, it seemed like something of unknown origin, and then the last beacon of Western magic, the clock tower, was reduced to ashes.']

['It was as if the eyes blurred, and the entire complex disappeared, leaving only a vast expanse of white desert, a scene of life withering.']

['Is that what the devils call replacement? Although I managed to escape, I feel like death is haunting me, as if I have stepped into a living hell on earth.']

Chapter 287: Shadow of Imaginary Numbers! The Black Jade Emperor does not reveal his appearance!

"Huh, it was so easy to get in?"

Chloe took the lead and rushed into the hall of Ainsworth Castle, but what she saw was an empty scene.

In this workshop base with the same style as Einzbern, magnificent decorations covered the surrounding walls, especially on the right side of the hall, which was filled with a large number of ceremonial costumes and props with varying degrees of mystery. They were placed there at random and had piled up into a high hill.

Needless to say, the source of these things was items that Ainsworth had "collected" from all over the world. Although they were indeed precious to others, they were just useless waste to Ainsworth, so they were piled here like a mountain of garbage.

"Stop looking, let's find the underground passage first," Illya pulled Chloe back from looking around, "Don't forget that we have to save Miyu-chan's brother."

"Oh, I know."

Chloe didn't forget the mission, she just felt that the empty place was suspicious. If the enemy didn't come out now, it meant that they were observing them in the dark.

But it doesn't matter. No matter what, the rescue operation in the enemy's base camp will eventually be discovered by the enemy. Now that two combat forces have been lured away, the work will at least be a lot easier.

So, based on the route information they obtained during the previous infiltration, the three of them quickly arrived at the underground area of ​​the castle.

"Hey, what a big canal?"

When walking down the stairs, Illya walked carefully along the wall. Under the narrow road was a wide river.

"Hey. Didn't the intelligence say that this is river water that was replaced from somewhere else? But, it seems that the underground replacement space of Ainsworth has not been affected?"

“That’s right, I should have come from ‘down there’ earlier,” Illya agreed with Chloe’s words. She and her friends continued to move forward. “Hey, that corner up ahead looks like… a prison cell? Miyu-chan, that should be—”

"Ok!"

Miyu walked over without being reminded. She was already quite anxious. Even though she had confirmed that Emiya Shirou was alive, she was still worried when they were about to meet. "—Brother!"

"...Hmm!" A somewhat weak response came from the cell, "Is it... actually Miyu? Cough cough cough... Why... did you come back!?..."

"Brother! You're hurt!"

Miyu was about to reach the cell. Although she didn't see Shirou Emiya's injuries, she couldn't imagine what Ainsworth had done to Shirou Emiya.

"Don't come over here!...Back off!"

Unexpectedly, Emiya Shirou's answer.

"Eh...?" Meiyou Guang was thinking about saving people and didn't know the other meaning of this sentence until her companion behind her pulled her back.

"Miyu! Back off!"

Chloe forcibly pulled Miyu forward, and the next moment, something extended out from the dark corner. Black and red ripples, shaped like strips of cloth or tentacles, black and red, like something that looked like a curse or a shadow. Those countless thin shadows smashed the narrow floor in front of the cell.

"Hehehehehe..."

A gloomy, evil, yet magical female voice came from a corner and echoed throughout the entire underground space, "Senior, didn't you agree to chat with me alone? Ah, who are these women? I don't know them. I really want to kill them..."

"Sakura!" Emiya Shirou's voice was very anxious, "That's my sister Miyu, you know her! The others should be... my sister's classmates? Look carefully, I don't know them at all!"

The group of black shadows that were about to run wildly suddenly stopped.

On the other side, Chloe asked, "What is that thing? It actually has a woman's voice, and it seems to be someone you know, Miyu's brother?"

The three little ones were having a quick, whispered, encrypted conversation.

"I can't tell," Miyu didn't know what that dark mass was, "but from the sound of her voice it seemed to be... Sakura-san? My brother's former classmate."

"Huh? What should I do?" Illya was stunned. She thought it was a monster or something, but now it seems to be a mentally ill ally? Should we fight or not?

However, the following developments freed them from the worry.

"boom--!"

The black shadow that had been pacified went berserk again, with a clatter and a rumble, spreading in all directions at once, quickly shattering the narrow floor structure, even Emiya Shirou was not spared.

“Hehehe! Senior already has me, but he still wants to find other women——In that case, it’s okay to kill them all, right? Oh oh oh, that’s right, the senior who betrayed me should also die, hehehe——”

Fortunately, this level of damage could not hurt Shirou Emiya. Instead, he used Sakura's attack to break the seal of Ainsworth and successfully escaped from the cell.

"Projection, start!"

As soon as Emiya Shirou walked out of the cell door, he attacked "Sakura" without hesitation, "Crane Wing Triple Combo!"

Three pairs of black and white daggers shot out and attacked the black shadow in different trajectories.

“Useless, useless! Senior! Hehehe, as long as your treasure falls into my hands——”

"boom!"

A beam of white light came blasting over, quickly burning and evaporating the black shadows that were spreading in all directions, and Illya and the others' magic cannons arrived to provide support.

"Brother, what's going on?"

"Miyu, and... a few friends," Emiya Shirou knew that now was not the time for small talk, so he quickly explained, "My classmate Sakura died in the Holy Grail War, and this is a doll that Ainsworth created using the deceased's personality! She's an enemy!"

"Okay!" Chloe readily accepted the fact, "Now it's easy! Trace on!"

Chloe had a black longbow and a spiral sword in her hands, which surprised Shirou Emiya.

Needless to say, Miyu and Illya switched positions in perfect harmony. Miyu turned into high-speed lightning to cut off the dense shadows that extended towards her one by one, while Illya activated multiple magic cannons to suppress them. The massive amount of magic power turned into pure light and heat emission, burning and evaporating the surging black and red shadow tide below.

"Appeared!"

After many cuts and destructions, the enemy's true appearance was finally revealed - a woman's figure, wearing black clothes of unknown material and an armor mask.

"——The fantasy collapses!"

Chloe's pseudo-pseudo spiral sword flew over just in time, and the explosion spread almost at zero distance, burning all the evil shadows into ashes.

"it's over?"

Chloe said uncertainly.

"No! Wait..."

Shirou Emiya was surprised at the fighting power of the three, but the black tide did not disappear. He felt something even more evil, as if a being with completely different laws was beginning to be born.

Chapter 288 Pandora's Box is opened! Osiris comes!

That was the leakage of strange laws... absolute pressure... spreading throughout the underground space.

"what is that!?"
