People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

Three little girls in their original forms appeared on the spot.

Chapter 293 Surut Reappears! Event Horizon!

The howling wind conveys the will of the King of the Underworld, and the thunder of judgment continues to scrape off the giants' mud curse.

Raindrops fell and washed away, and the illusion of the Nile River kept reappearing between heaven and earth. The true meaning of the power of reincarnation fought against the curse of the corpse of God.

Before that, the flaming sword wielded by God Illya burned the black mud giant, and the large amount of thunder she brought down formed a large-scale offset with the surging black death zone.

However, before that, Illya did not seem to notice the huge black box floating in the sky, from which the amount of black mud leaked was increasing faster and faster.

"——Okay, come back."

Illya suddenly heard a voice saying this.

"Eh, eh!?"

Then, a card-like light, a symbol of the power of Osiris, automatically popped out from her chest and flew away.

The bright dragon armor on Illya's body quickly disappeared, the divine light flowing on her body became flickering, the state of summoning gods was cancelled, and her figure quickly split into three.

Just as the three of them came to their senses and began to free fall, an invisible hand pulled them over.

"Boom."*3

"Hurry up and get over here," Qin Xuan urged Illya and the other two to stop being distracted, "The situation has changed. The Holy Grail and God are Darius's targets. You guys should stop now, or you will fall into his trap."

"Ah? Ok, alright..."

The three of them returned to Qin Xuan dejectedly, feeling quite unsatisfied. They probably thought that the first "god-level battle" could successfully defeat the villain and save the world in the way of a traditional story, rather than being interrupted halfway.

"Crash-"

The black mud tide surged, and after losing the power of Osiris, the curse of filth and death became more active.

"It's you—you troublemaker—"

A loud voice came from the inside of the black mud giant, and the tone was not friendly, "You come to destroy the end of the myth again--"

"Oh, yes, yes, it's me," Qin Xuan was still observing the box in the sky, "I was the one who kidnapped your Pandora, and I also took your subordinates with me. By the way, let me introduce myself. I am - Wow!"

The amount of black mud in the box seemed to be increasing every second. Countless black liquids were like a torrent of ink, madly seeping into the crispy paper on the ground. The pouring mud even covered the figure of the giant, but then the giant's size grew rapidly.

"It seems Darius is not too fond of me."

Qin Xuan stomped his feet, and just as the black mud tide was about to rush out of the Fuyuki City pit and rush towards the city, a huge number of trees grew out from the edge.

This is the projection of the World Tree.

The huge root system quickly broke through the soil, and the branches soared into the sky and expanded themselves, surrounding the pit with an area about half the size of Fuyuki City. The dense and vibrant green leaves cast a shadow that covered the sky.

"Oh, it's growing really well. It's worth my efforts to cultivate it."

Ellie's figure appeared in the tree canopy.

These vibrant trees are not just for show. After several generations of self-evolution of "computer power", these branches, which are equivalent to the tentacles of the world tree, have a considerable degree of basic computing power. And even if the computing power of a single branch is weak, it can be compensated by quantity.

Under the operation of the tree-like computer, mirror spaces of all sizes formed a circle around the giant pit. The ripples of the surrounding space were like huge circular waves stirred up on the calm water surface. The seemingly surging tide of black mud was constantly collected into the mirror space. In this way, the release of black mud and the contraction of space gradually formed a balance.

Then, the tips of the branches and leaves flashed with light, and more particle-like light streams gathered and condensed at the tips of the leaves. Then, they were emitted, whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Like brilliant fireworks and golden raindrops, the pointed spears of light turned into heat weapons that also had the function of absorbing concepts, and launched a wide-area cluster beam attack on the location of the black mud giant.

"Rumble--"

After a round of volleys, the size of the giant shrank visibly, but -

"Hahaha, it's useless, useless - as long as I have the supply of the 'box', I will never fail -"

The giant roared and talked, and seemed to still feel that he had won.

"Ellie, use the intelligence function, Disaster Reappearance."

Qin Xuan gave the order.

buzzing-

It was the sound of the tree-shaped computer running at high speed. It was now beginning to construct its own intelligence attack system and reproduce the existence in its past memories (records).

The flame appeared.

It was a much larger existence than the flaming sword that Tanaka's arm transformed into.

The huge flame was so hot that it was enough to burn the Sword of Doom in the entire divine realm.

The illusion of the past reappears today. It is taller than the black mud giant. No, it is essentially a more complete mythological end-writer (end device), Surut, the king of the fire giants.

Although this is undoubtedly false, just a record, with no spirit or actual catalyst, the damage it can cause is so consistent with the scenes of the past.

The huge flame illuminated the thick black mud, the dark sky, and the stunned Darius. Then, the Sword of Fire swung, and the Branch of Destruction lifted up—

Sweep and burn.

It only spun half a circle, and both the sludge and the mud giant were all burned by the flame of the end. The black mud was essentially a curse from God. Even after being tossed and degraded by Illya and others, it still churned tenaciously, but at the same time, it also made the high-temperature flames burn more and more vigorously.

With the support of Pandora's Box, the black mud had not yet shown any signs of decline, but before that, Darius was the first to be unable to bear it. He had now replaced his entire body with that of a black mud giant, but the widespread flame of Surut made him endure extreme high temperatures.

"Ah ...

Darius seemed to be speaking loudly to some being.

"Hmm? Is this the god Darius has always believed in?" Qin Xuan thought of Chronos on the mythical stone tablet.

'He's facing Pandora's box in the sky? The key is in there?'

However, after repeated observations, there was no result, so Qin Xuan tried to use his spatial ability on it.

"...I can't interfere?"

No. There was movement, and I didn't know if it was a reaction to Qin Xuan's mirror space, or a sudden response to Darius's voice.

A sense of existence suddenly swelled up.

The box opened, not just the tiny gap that leaked out before, but it opened completely in the blink of an eye.

Deep, dense, and all-consuming. The direction of gravity changed, and a terrifying sense of tearing spread across the world in an instant.

This is a phenomenon in which huge amounts of energy are compressed to the extreme. This is an extreme thing in which even light is absorbed. This is a picture of the universe that has been difficult for humans to observe directly so far.

"——It's actually a black hole?! It's about to be captured by the event horizon!"

Chapter 294: Reverse Canal

It should be noted that mirror space is a very convenient technology. And because of its function of replicating reality, even its limit of expansion space has not been detected. As long as there is enough energy supply, the size of mirror space can continue to expand.

But on the other hand, under limited conditions, this expansion of scale is insignificant on the scale of astronomy.

That is to say, a sufficiently large and complex entity may not be able to exist in the mirror space. For example, a complete celestial body containing multiple dimensional worlds, for example, reality itself as a copy object.

Now we may have to add this celestial phenomenon, which is suspected to be a black hole.

"Hahaha--"

Although it is impossible to judge how far the impact of the gravity fault extends, Darius, who is feeling proud of himself, is undoubtedly the closest.

So, he was the first to observe the black hole phenomenon.

First, a miniature image of the Milky Way with a multiple spiral arm structure appeared in the center, or it could be said to be an observational record of the universe in the planet's memory. It transcends the planet's sky and reaches the infinite deep space, which is beyond the memory of any life on Earth. Time is accelerating, flowing, and distorting, gradually becoming a chaos, and countless stars begin to form astronomical structures such as galaxies and nebulae.

The inside and outside of the event horizon are completely divergent from each other, like a conceptual picture of a rapidly evolving universe and a hypothetical zone of nothingness outside the boundary of the universe.

This is the source of all celestial bodies and their final resting place.

"Hurry, hurry, hold on tight, don't let go," Qin Xuan held on to Shirou Emiya and Tanaka tightly. He didn't care what Darius was proud of. Although he didn't know what size black hole this was, the most important thing for him was to get away from the event horizon as quickly as possible, otherwise there would be trouble.

At the moment, the black hole field is absorbing countless substances. Buildings, land, and plants are all drawn into the gravity, torn apart, and absorbed. After all, whether it is Fuyuki City, the land, or even the Earth, to it, they are all pure mass, without any difference.

"You three should be careful not to get sucked away too," Qin Xuan said to Illya and the other two after notifying Ai Li to come back, "Ah——?"

It turned out that they seemed to be unaffected by gravity.

"Brother, is that the black hole mentioned in the book? We don't seem to be sucked away."

"Huh?" Qin Xuan stopped and only then realized that neither he nor Tanaka seemed attracted.

Tanaka is essentially the Earth, which is understandable. So... why are Qin Xuan, Illya and the other two fine, but Emiya Shirou is about to be sucked in?

"Cough cough cough... Don't worry about me." Due to the gravity, Shirou Emiya flew into the air, and it was all thanks to Qin Xuan that he held him back. However, Shirou Emiya's face turned pale and his consciousness began to become unclear. It should be that the internal injuries caused by the tearing of gravity were aggravated.

"Although I don't know why only you are affected, the gravity scale is increasing, and the black hole is absorbing matter to increase its radius." Qin Xuan couldn't judge his situation in this state. He felt that if he continued like this, Shirou Emiya would die. He left first. "Aili, let's go. Activate 'Dimensional Boundary Submersion'."

The remaining huge forest in the distance disappeared completely.

Dimensional boundary submarine, earth vein phase positioning needle, anchored -

Dimensional link void engine, running in parallel, smoothly——

Dimensional gap time and space difference correction calculation, completed——

As the ship unfolded at a rapid speed, Illya, Qin Xuan, Tanaka, and Emiya Shirou began their first dimensional submarine adventure.

At the last moment, Qin Xuan glanced at Darius's position, but saw his astonished expression - Darius struggled desperately, but was finally torn apart and swallowed by gravity...

"...Is this the response from the god? It seems Darius was fooled, or maybe he is not that important in the eyes of the god..."

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the void, seemingly coming from an infinite distance, vague and unclear, but it definitely reached Qin Xuan's ears:

【The river █ ...

"?!" Qin Xuan carefully explored the source of the sound. However, apart from the huge black hole in the sky, Qin Xuan had no time to observe other things. The ship had already dived and left the surface dimension.

----------

Countless lights flowed in the area around the ship.

This is the gap between the dimensional worlds, which deviates from the reality of the front and back worlds.

The light of the stars was blocked out.

There is only somewhere else, another dimension, with light and information peeking out, and chaotic interactions or isolation.

The dimensional border submarine sails in this difficult-to-define void.

Is it moving forward? There is no way to know.

There is no up, no down, no four directions here, and the starting point and the end point do not exist.

"Are you guys okay?"

After Qin Xuan confirmed that the submersibility was successful, the first thing he did was to check everyone's status.

Illya and the others were fine, and Tanaka seemed to be alive and well, but Emiya Shirou did not respond.

"...Brother?" Miyu looked over worriedly. She had noticed that Shirou Emiya was not in a good condition before, but she didn't expect that he would faint now... ?

"Let me take a look first." Qin Xuan had noticed that Shirou Emiya was not in the right state before, and his soul seemed incomplete. "... His body was not obviously seriously injured... His soul... Hey, that's not right, where is his soul?"

Qin Xuan pulled up Shirou Emiya who was lying on the ground, but Shirou Emiya showed no signs of moving. Qin Xuan pierced the etheric fiber and scanned his insides again. "The soul is completely gone... The spirit is completely silent..."

“The soul…is missing…?” Miyu’s voice trembled.

"Well, the basis for life activities is gone."

“…How could this be?” After hearing the result, Miyu knelt down beside him, lowered her head, and suppressed her expression. Was this the result of her efforts to save her brother?

"Miyu-chan!" The two friends hurriedly comforted her, "Don't be sad yet. Big brother also has a way to deal with the problem of the soul. Maybe there is still hope for the situation."

"Well, there is a way," Qin Xuan recalled the inexplicable voice he had heard before, "but I have to ask a question, did you hear anyone talking while you were submerged?"

The three of them denied it in unison.

"Is that so? Then let me tell you my guess. Ainsworth may have done something to Shirou Emiya during his imprisonment. His soul is connected to the core of their family - Pandora's Box." Qin Xuan speculated that Shirou Emiya had been transformed into something similar to a puppet based on the last information given by Shion. "The disappearance of his soul should be due to the change of Pandora's Box."

But they have no idea about the specific situation of the black hole, and it is impossible for them to go back and enter that black hole.

"So, the final solution is to find out what Pandora's Box is."

Qin Xuan looked at Tanaka who was still playing with the grids and said, "We need to go back to the past, back to when Pandora's Box was created."
