People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

Inside the vast circular space, traces of magical energy and fluorescence from the active underground spiritual veins are emitted, so even though the underground environment is damp and closed, it does not appear too dark.

However, in this space, where the earth veins flow to the intersection center, there is a giant magic circle made by Prelati based on the Fuyuki Holy Grail system. The structure is extremely precise, and it can be said that even a team of dozens or hundreds of magicians may not be able to complete it successfully. In addition to the necessary training of the alchemy system, it is also due to the highly complex calculation power. Only Prelati who practiced the magic of the Age of Gods can easily reduce the difficulty.

However, these are just appearances.

As Wuzhiqi and others knew, this thing that looked like the 'Holy Grail' was actually a polymer of huge evil divinity that far exceeded the original Holy Grail. It was a 'work of art' that was very much favored by evil magicians like Prelati.

Therefore, she cast an amazing illusion on the earth veins here, enough to deceive the world, and even Dr. Hatreth who came later could not find it. All of this was to allow this evil divinity to erode and take root in this earth vein environment, and then grow stronger.

As luck would have it, due to the expansion of the human principle of Academy City, the agitation of the old human principle opened up the surface, and the deep breath of the ancient times was revealed. It was the remnant of the Age of Gods. When the Age of Gods turned into the Age of Humanity, the remaining divinity on earth and the curse left by the gods also turned into the soil of the lower layer and were buried under the fabric of human principle.

Now is the time to recover. While humanity is returning to chaos, while the world is about to collapse, while the stars have not yet returned to their positions.

The black mud, which symbolizes the curse left by the gods of the other world, dissolved the order of the soil in the container called the Holy Grail and corroded the structure of human nature, thus the Holy Grail that can summon the gods was born. But this is by no means an omnipotent cauldron. All greatness has corresponding efforts or prices, and the Holy Grail at the moment is no exception.

Because the container called the Holy Grail is not just the Big Holy Grail, there is also the Small Holy Grail which serves as the key.

That is the girl named Filia von Einzbern who is sleeping in the center of the formation.

This female body was nothing more than a shell, and even more of a tool for Faldius, the American Special Department, and other Holy Grail organizers. After all, it was a body stolen from the Einzbern family, and they only needed to keep it active and function intact. As for extra care, they had never anticipated it.

However, due to Prelati's intentional or unintentional manipulation, Filia in the underground space was still affected by the mysterious holy grail.

The beautiful, long silver-white hair that was unique to the Einzbern swayed slightly in the air current filled with magic power, and the scarlet eyes opened.

"—"

Contained in his eyes is a clear will, divine radiance, and extreme anger towards the world ruled by humans.

'Filia' stood up, she looked at her new body, then looked around at the world that was slightly bright in the darkness, and frowned slightly.

The next moment, as if the air and soil were affected in an incomparable way, as if they were enchanted and obeyed the will of this being, the earthen walls emitted a bright and gentle glow, the damp soil on the ground instantly became dry and condensed, and even the dust secretly retreated into the ground. The underground space of the Holy Grail was now as bright as a villa, and it was not even over yet. The soil was surging and began to spit out a large pile of stone and glittering metal, constantly processing building materials for the wide underground space, and fitting and covering the upper and lower four directions, turning this place into a magnificent world.

All of this stems from the unrivaled beauty of Filia.

This type of beauty is obviously not simply physical beauty, but refers to the ultimate beauty that can produce all kinds of miraculous effects. In the Double Tower Izeluma, a family affiliated with the monarch of the Clock Tower Creation Department, there are "Golden Princess" and "Silver Princess", a kind of "work" that pursues the root of the concept of "beauty".

But that is the way magicians use their own methods to create the concept of beauty, constantly pursue the finished product of beauty, and reach the root. However, Filia's beauty is the original beauty that originally existed in the high world, and it has been manifested in the mortal world.

This kind of beauty can not only charm monsters and inorganic matter, it can even affect the laws of physics, not to mention humans.

Because She is the goddess of beauty, the mistress of the sky in Sumerian mythology, Ishtar.

Originally, Ishtar would not descend into time. At the end of the Age of Gods, she only left a remnant of blessing (curse) for the world itself, a replica based on herself, but with slight differences, not the original. It can be called a program engraved on the star that can automatically replicate itself when certain conditions are met.

However, due to the special nature of this Holy Grail, coupled with the fluctuations of human nature and the rapid deterioration of the soil and earth veins, the original reverberation actually summoned the spirit base of the original body through the summoning process. Ishtar became a complete form. She is both an artificial life form of Einzbern and a god who uses this body as a mortal vessel. In other words, she is a pseudo-servant who is a god on the outside (Master) and a god on the inside (Servant), Archer Ishtar.

The scarlet Command Seals appeared on the back of Ishtar's hand, but since she was both a Servant and a Master, this kind of thing was of little use to her.

"It's a little noisy."

Ishtar said coldly. Unlike the Ishtar in other world lines who possessed Rin, the temperament of this Pillar God who had awakened was even more indifferent due to the weak will of the artificial life form, almost the original character in the myth. She seemed to sense the surging fighting spirit above the city, "Crown, give me strength."

Chanting softly, this is more of a command to the world than a spell. This is a large crown with multiple effects (powers), which can be used to call upon the ancient temple and mount (Maana) of the Age of Gods. With just one word, the elements in the soil will emerge.

Countless metals, stones, and glittering gems were further constructed into divine power, transforming into temples containing the majesty of God and magnificent sky boats connected by starlight.

“The gods of a foreign land are fighting…?”

Before her eyes was the Sky Boat that was being built bit by bit, and Ishtar looked into the distance with a majestic look, "Forget it, compared to this, I seem to feel the beast guarding the garden."

Chapter 409 McDermitt Volcano, Typhon

The beasts that Ishtar mentioned guarding the garden were for her. As the daughter favored by the father god Anu and the mistress of the sky, everything on the earth was her plaything, and the so-called guard was Humbaba.

"Well, let's get familiar with the environment first, and then go and take a look."

Ishtar did not appear in this world without a purpose. Influenced by the nature of the land, she, who has roots in other mythological mother goddesses, can sense that the soil is wailing and the world is shaking. This is not due to the tearing caused by the coming of gods, but the influence of an unprecedented law that is mutually exclusive with the present world.

From her empathy with the earth veins, she had the impression that this law was difficult for her to understand and accept. It was simply a natural enemy.

This law that threatens her ability to manipulate her little garden (the mortal world) must be investigated and understood.

"...After all, once the obstacles are removed, I can transform the world of human rule into a world that I can control and protect. Then... I will just watch over these tiny spirits in the modern world until the end of time~"

Ishtar easily said the unusual and cruel words. The so-called care is just a toy, and the so-called end is also the end of human civilization and the death of the planet.

Beside the beautiful goddess, Ma Anna, the ship of heaven, which is constantly constructing itself and moving towards perfection, shines brightly, adding color to the hostess's long silver hair and plain dress.

--------

On the outskirts of Xueyuan City. Kozman Special Correction Center.

Faldius and the others didn't know that a goddess was about to come to them in a sky boat.

They were busy dealing with the impact of the god-level battle above the sea of ​​clouds.

Faldius ordered his men, "Make sure to cover it up. Notify the meteorological department to issue a notice about the 'super typhoon' and remind the citizens. I don't need to say anything more."

"Yes!"

After dealing with a series of events, Faldius finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the mysterious concealment and militarization seemed to conflict with each other, he suddenly discovered that the battles between gods often changed the world, and rarely saw scenes of street fighting. This made it easier to cover up.

It was nothing more than notifying the meteorological department to issue an emergency bulletin. If it was more serious, they would invite a few experts to give a brief talk, and that would be enough to fool people. As for why they couldn't predict it in advance? That was not what Faldius cared about, and he would not be the one to take the blame.

Fortunately, the battle in the sea of ​​clouds did not last very long, otherwise Faldius could not guarantee whether the battle would extend to the ground, which would have caused great losses.

"But... this also shows that the summoning of gods is feasible," Faldius's heart was still heavy, "There is a high probability that other masters are also servitude to gods."

"Hehehehe! What's the matter? Isn't this a good thing?" Prelati said without hesitation, "Although all gods are troublemakers, the first step of summoning gods has been completed, right? Besides, you have also sent other people to occupy the master position, right?"

"..." Faldius got a headache when he thought of this. The original plan was to use the fake servant camp to summon real servants, and then he planned to insert 'his own people' into the real servants. But now the plan has changed, and there is no distinction between camps anymore. It will be troublesome to change it because some places have already been provided.

For example, Dr. Hatteres, who transformed the Holy Grail system, was actually related to the Astronomical Science Monarch Marisbilly. The City on the Hill was said to have provided a quota to the Astronomical Science out of gratitude. And more importantly, the East Union Association also sent participants over. After all, the one there was the genuine one. Although the piracy by the United States began before the establishment of the East Union, there was no legal basis. Fortunately, the other party did not pursue it at present. It is estimated that they were thinking of picking peaches.

The last place is for the Holy Church, which is the big boss and the force that funded the US to start the war. It is said that they will use something from the church's secret collection "Angel Library" as a holy relic. I don't know what they want to do.

The Templar Church has always existed as a supervisory organization, but the American Holy Grail War refused additional supervision from the beginning. Now that the situation has changed, the Templar Church has transformed into a major participant. Faldius can't say anything, so just consider it as the suspicious side.

From this point of view, Faldius calculated that those on his side were the more trustworthy family of the long-term cooperation, the more suspicious side of the Holy Church, and then the hired magicians he temporarily sent out as masters, and he would take as many as he could. The others were one quota each from the Eastern Alliance and the Clock Tower, who were undoubtedly opponents.

Oh, I hope there won’t be any more mistakes.

----------

Northwest of Snowfield City, at the border of Nevada and Oregon, there is a very ancient crater called McDermitt.

A group of exploration teams are exploring the geology here. There are many ancient craters like this in the United States, but most people are not pure geologists. Because craters often contain rich mineral resources, metals such as sulfur, copper, iron, lead, zinc, and non-metallic minerals such as pyroxene, hornblende, and biotite, the mining cost is usually not too high.

Well, this is for ordinary people. For magicians, this is also a treasure land of mineral science. This group of prospectors are also magicians. They are contestants hired by Faldius. Since they were contacted temporarily, it is too late to collect holy relics through normal channels. The solution is to simply dig up antiquities on the spot.

"Hey, the Command Seal appears! Hurry up!" one of them shouted, while some around were preparing the summoning circle, and some were fiddling with the catalyst.

The surroundings were empty, so they all relaxed their vigilance. Although this was on the crater, there was no danger as long as it was not an active volcano.

Soon, the surroundings became quiet.

"——Hey, where is the person?" The magician holding the Command Seal didn't hear a response for a long time. He turned his head and met the eyes of a strange young man and the man's outstretched wings.

puff.

The winged man took away the Command Seal.

"I'm sorry, that old man insisted on asking me to participate in the Holy Grail War and didn't even give me the channels," the young man said, with many fallen bodies under his feet. "Hey, what are these? How can ore materials be considered holy relics? I'd better use myself as a companion summon."

"——Expand: Dragon Circuit."

Similar to the volcano under the soil, a hot crust like volcanic lava appeared. In response, the crater that had been dormant for a long time also woke up immediately.

This is no longer Mount McDermitt. As the summoning progresses, it becomes Mount Etna, where the great ancestor Dragon Typhon is sealed.

Chapter 410 I am Katniss... Tsk, I have that bastard's divine core

The young man with wings is named Bai Ruolong. He is a magician who belongs to the Wandering Sea and is a disciple of Kitz, the Gate of Preservation.

The idea of ​​the Wandering Sea is to explore the hidden divine principles, and they are very good at human body transformation. Of course, since they do not recognize magic after the Age of Gods, this means that their direction is the Age of Gods itself. With exquisite skills, they transform the human body into a demon-like existence, thus constantly completing the tasks related to the Age of Gods. Bai Ruolong is more like one of the works than a seeker.

Because there is a dragon in his body, the Great Dragon of Typhon. If Ergo is a god-eater, he is a dragon-eater.

Therefore, although Bai Ruolong had received the order to participate in the Holy Grail War on behalf of Giz early on, he did not prepare any additional holy relics. After all, he himself was the most suitable catalyst. And the group of magicians he dealt with were unlucky because they happened to choose the volcanic vein environment that he liked.

Next, you just need to awaken the dragon power in your body in order. First, ignite the dragon core in your body - second, open the dragon circuit, and finally:

"Manifestation·My Wings, Imprisoned Dragon——!"

Bai Ruolong spread out his wide translucent wings behind him. At the same time, he showed layers of armor like volcanic rocks, and the surface was pulsating with red lines. This was the dragon's body, the dragon prison shell. Mount Etna, which sealed the great ancestor dragon Typhon, was an armament with its concept reversed. In other words, the seal was reversed, so that the dragon's power was limited to human form, as a normal device to control Typhon.

As Bai Ruolong changed her posture, dazzling aurora burst out from the sky above McDermitt Crater. The might of the huge dragon echoed with the volcano below. With the might of this great dragon, which was comparable to the enemy of the gods, chanting the incantation of the Holy Grail summoning was like a command to the volcano and to nature itself:

"... Fill up, fill up, fill up... With my dragon body, I will make the Great Ancestor Dragon Prison under Etna manifest! Descend in the form of the Ancestral Dragon, Guardian of Libra..."

Perhaps from the perspective of the summoning process alone, this may be the most noisy summoning to date. Just to enhance the effectiveness of the catalyst, Bai Ruolong activated the dragon power in his body that is comparable to the power of God and called for a volcanic eruption. This action also coincides with the current situation in the old human world - the McDermitt volcano that erupted in ancient times is shaking again today, and it is spewing not only lava, but also the ashes of the Age of Gods that surge up from the foundation of human nature.

Bai Ruolong's goal is to imitate the entire volcano into Mount Etna from the ancient Age of Gods based on the "Law of Similarity" of magic.

What came along with it was almost equivalent to a designated summons, and Taizu Longtifeng responded.

"Rumble--"

Like the thunder in the sky, it seemed as if an explosion of a magnitude unimaginable to humans had occurred under the ground, followed by a burst of heat and high-pressure burning currents. Bai Ruolong soared in the air with the wings on his back, and then witnessed the shaking of the earth, the collapse of the soil, and the panicked escape of groups of animals and birds. In the center of the crater, a red, brightly glowing heat current surged and burned the earth.

Then the mountain collapsed, no, it should be that a dragon's body was formed in it.

The entire mountain began to take the original veins as its main trunk and countless high-temperature lava as its body. The top, middle and foothills of the mountain continued to crack and bulge, gradually forming into a huge volcanic dragon with surging brilliant heat.

Based on the familiar feeling coming from the power in her body, Bai Ruolong was certain that the person appearing before her was undoubtedly Typhon.

"The old man just wants me to summon this guy... What's the point? Let me eat the dragon again? The power of repetition is not necessary for me - Hey, wait!"

Bai Ruolong looked up at the sky and suddenly found that the clouds were changing drastically, as if the waves were pushing towards a certain direction, mixed with countless thunder and strong winds. What was that place?

----------

West Coast of America.

Kirshtalia Vodem had just completed communication with his teacher. According to his teacher Marisbilly, his father seemed to have stopped hunting him because the Clock Tower was also preparing something for the upcoming Holy Grail War. However, the specific situation was unknown.

Kirshtalia didn't really care. As long as his father's unstable off-field factor didn't affect him, it would be the first step to success. Next, he needed to wait for someone, a partner who had a trading relationship with his teacher. Although the task was to cooperate with Flatt, a participant of the East Union Association, according to the rumors about Flatt... I always felt that this teammate was not very reliable.

“——” The air twisted.

Dr. Hatteras showed up at the agreed location.

Kirshtalia remained calm but was surprised in his heart. He did not know the identity of his teacher's collaborator before, but he recognized the appearance of the former dean. Legend has it that Dr. Hatres was a switch child (a human abducted by fairies as a prank) and had lost his heart. Could it be that he was blessed by the fairies for being able to move through space?

"Here is the information you requested." Dr. Hatteres looked at the young nobleman and was too lazy to have any extra conversation. It was obvious at a glance that they were not the same kind of people. Kirshtalia was an aristocrat who believed in the idea of ​​the chosen people, while he was a lowly person who wanted to take revenge on the magic world. Although they were in the same world, their circumstances, thoughts, and ambitions were completely different.

"Ah."

After Kirshtalia confirmed that there was no problem with the information, the former head of school disappeared quickly, just as hurriedly as when she came.

Kirshtalia was not aware of Dr. Hatreth's evaluation of him. He was busy familiarizing himself with the Holy Grail data in his hand. According to the above research, in theory, as long as it is during the Holy Grail War summoning period, by creating a spiritual vein environment similar to the Holy Grail War venue elsewhere, it is possible to summon the Heroic Spirit.

Based on this, Kirshtalia intended to set the summoning location on the sea far away from Xueyuan City. He had additional ideas about the holy relics of Katniss provided by his teacher. For this reason, Kirshtalia set up a celestial magic ritual field here in advance according to the Neptune constellation. In this way, the chance of summoning gods and Poseidon will be greater.

"The study is complete."

In just two minutes, Kirshtalia mastered the secret technique studied by Dr. Hatres with a genius learning speed. He waved the noble scepter in his hand, and the celestial rituals and summoning arrays on the beach began to undergo complex geometric deformations.

Next, recite the spell and summoning will be a natural process.

As he expected, a figure with a surging spirit appeared on the sea—

Wait, why women?

ps.fgo actually released Typhon, but I think the design is weird

Chapter 411 People in Xueyuan City, but the Immortal Cup

Kirshtalia confirmed that his idea when he summoned the relic just now was correct. First of all, he knew very well that the original owner of the holy relic, Katniss, had a clear relationship with Poseidon. Katniss was a girl in Thessaly who was famous for her beauty. She had always rejected other people's marriage proposals, but one day, Poseidon forcibly took away her purity.

The satisfied Poseidon said, "I can fulfill all your wishes." Katniss said with humiliation, "In order to never experience this again, I don't want to be a woman anymore." So Katniss was turned into a man and gained the powerful protection of Poseidon.

On the surface, it seems to be a description of Katniss's misfortune, but Kirshtalia understands it from the perspective of magic. This is a story recorded in Ovid's "Metamorphoses", so it is easy to understand. The important concept is "transformation", that is, conversion and transmutation. By purifying and decomposing the series of experiences of Katniss from female to male, we can get the conceptual process of "one state of matter is transformed into another state of matter through the reaction of external forces."

This external force is undoubtedly the ocean power that Kirshtalia deliberately constructed using celestial magic.
