People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

"So you've been discussing for a long time, what is this thing called?" Katniss, unable to get a word in, looked up at the sky in boredom.

"We can talk about such unimportant things later." Kirshtalia said simply. He didn't want to waste time on such things.

"Hey, this is very important!" Flat shook his head, expressing his different opinion, "--Why not call it the Ring of Usurpation!"

I'm sorry to say that the update frequency will be reduced in the next two or three weeks.

One of the reasons is the work situation I mentioned before. The workload almost doubled before the Chinese New Year. I couldn't stand staying up late every day to write a book.

The second is that the content of this volume is nearing completion, but I haven’t yet fully designed the content of the next volume.

Actually, I have already laid some groundwork before, so the second volume is scheduled to adopt the fourth disaster flow, letting people from the main world line be pulled over to work under the pretext of virtual stealth, open world, and video games, and occupy the entire FGO line. The volume is named Holy Grail War: Infinite Universe (the name of the game has not been decided yet, if you don’t have a better name, then call it this?).

As for the difficulty, first of all, it is necessary to make something interesting, which tests creativity, and the overall atmosphere of the players is different from that of the people in the fgo world. I will try my best...

Secondly, players need a large number of ordinary people. The number of simple magicians or magicians is not enough. Besides, after the end of the old human theory in this volume, traditional magic is on the verge of death, and the theory of bloodline has completely collapsed. Next is the era of new humans... I am considering whether to add a player ID collection post (the mode of Holy Grail War: Infinite Universe will continue until the end of this book, so it can be valid for a long time). What do you think?

Third, regarding the specific settings, I mentioned in the previous chapter that the player is essentially a special class "Player". In fact, the technical basis is the class card of Mo Yi, but the Player starts with a blank spiritual base (unnamed spiritual base) that can grow instead of a fixed framework.

The difficulty lies in the design of the growth path. I have never been a game planner, so I have to consider the balance of difficulty and the upgrade mechanism. FE has an old setting of servant levels (E~A, EX), but this has almost collapsed in the FGO era. The FGO mobile game itself can only refer to a part. In short, the fourth disaster flow is very complicated, and I need to think about and prepare for these in the next period of time.

Chapter 458: The Subsidence of America (Physics)

"The Circle of Usurpation..."

After pondering over this combination of words, Kirshtalia finally agreed. "It is not a bad idea to call it the Circle of Usurpation, which is a tool for usurping power and seeking to be used by others."

Time is running out right now. Although there is a barrier with an abnormally fast flow of time, which means that there is a lot more time to waste, we cannot continue to waste it on unimportant things.

"Then, regarding the specific series of Yellowstone volcano seals, the key lies in the overflow of the planet's power, the detection and numerical measurement of the inner cracks, the effectiveness of Typhon's power within the usurped ring, and the prevention of volcanic eruption disasters on the surface..."

Several people continued to discuss the details of handling the accident.

Snapped--

Just when the discussion was almost over, the outside world that had been slowing down infinitely in their eyes resumed and time returned to its normal flow rate. In other words, the barrier was lifted.

"Best friend?"

Flat looked at Thea who suddenly appeared in front of him in confusion.

"Be careful - there's a man coming over here, and he smells strongly of dragon's blood!"

Coming at high speed in the air was a figure wearing a dark grey cloak and with wings covered with membranes spread out.

Anyone who could make Theia react like this must be no ordinary person.

Everyone's hearts tightened.

Having said that, what made everyone so nervous was nothing more than the cause of this unprecedented disaster caused by Taizulong.

"——Hey, wait, that person seems to be..." Just as Theia was about to fire a magic bullet first, Flat stopped Theia, because he looked at the face under the cloak and it looked very familiar, "Is it Miss Grey!?"

"I see, is this a strong reinforcement?"

Kirshtalia also stopped Katniss's actions.

Compared to Rin Toosaka, who has almost no records of her going out and her combat abilities, Gray, as an important member of the Operations Department, often goes out on missions. All magicians who have seen her have rated Gray's combat abilities as comparable to those of famous ancient heroes.

It is said that this young lady has the blood of an ancient dragon. If she could help them, then their chances of success in using the power of Typhon would be increased.

call--

As if she had mastered the element of wind and was not affected by inertia, Gray's speeding figure suddenly stopped in mid-air close to the crowd, then folded her wings and slowly fell down like a feather.

"Hey - Miss Grey," Flatt stepped forward, "We have to solve the problem of the super volcano here. Miss Grey, are you here to help? By the way, the situation here is actually a leak from the cracks on the inside of the planet caused by the abnormal spiritual veins..."

Gray raised her hand, "Yes... I already know. In fact... there are more serious situations in other places that need your help."

"Well...eh?" Flatt was stunned. "A more serious situation?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Theia beside him, and Theia expressed his affirmation through the secret communication through the master-slave contract channel.

"That's right," Gray's tone was particularly serious. "The offending Servant in this Holy Grail War, Archer, whose real name is Ishtar, is the divinity of an alchemical doll named Filia, and the product of the fusion of the same Servant's spiritual base. She is a divine body that surpasses pseudo-Servants, but she also went through a certain reincarnation ritual to try to revive the Great Mother Goddess who did not exist in the history of the Age of Gods."

Seeing that the few people did not have too many doubts, Gray further explained the current situation to them, "...In short, although the Great Mother Goddess still has an incomplete spirit, she still needs your help to have a better chance of solving it."

"As for the Yellowstone disaster, I already know about it," Gray glanced at the heavy disc in Ergo's hand, "It is true that the Dragon's power that can be used has been extracted. The president (Qin Xuan) told you that only one person is needed to deal with (Yellowstone Volcano). In terms of urgency and intensity, the accident here is far less important than the incident of the Great Mother. In short, if the incident of the Great Mother is not handled in time, the entire world will be completely destroyed. The face of the planet will be replaced, which is literal destruction."

"..."

Is it really that serious?

The sudden situation disrupted everyone's thinking.

"——In addition," Gray dropped another piece of heavyweight news, "we need some people to rush to the sky, which is roughly 10,000 meters above sea level on the North American continent. There, a cardinal of the Holy Church intends to launch a great ritual of the Cross to cleanse (save) the world. The scale of this ritual is no less than the scene in the AD period when the Age of Gods ended and humanity was recreated. However, although it is a force to save the world, if it is used by someone with ulterior motives, the power can be exerted to the point of shattering a planet, and the result may be no different from the destruction of the world."

"The Holy Church, actually...!"

The Holy Church usually attracts a lot of hatred from magicians, but this time they really did something that made people hate them. No matter how many conspiracies and scandals there are within the church, the non-church members can't help but have a bad opinion of it.

"Huh? That church is so exaggerated?" As a servant from the ancient Greek era, Katniss found it hard to imagine the huge influence of the church on the surface world after the AD.

"Ah, it's not an exaggeration to say that they are the strongest rival of the entire magic world, especially the strongest burial agency department. Before the rise of the East Union Association, it can be said that they were the strongest combat force in the surface world."

Kirshtalia narrated that even though he restored the ancient astrology by changing the environment, he did not despise the Holy Church. The most important thing is that the strongest servant summoned by the Holy Church, if they planned such a horrifying event, the impact would not be less than that of gods like Ishtar.

With Gray's latest intelligence, the group quickly changed their strategy.

Assassin Theia, who had the greatest mobility, reconnaissance capability, and attack range, carried the Ring of Usurpation to deal with the Yellowstone volcano. The remaining troops were divided into two groups. Flatt and Katniss followed Grey to support the people fighting against the Great Mother Goddess. Ergo, who had the "Divine Right", a power that was suspected to be a crusader power, and Kirshtalia, who could borrow more star power at high altitudes, were assigned to the ranks of the aerial fortress against the Templar Church.

After completing the sealing process, Theia must quickly return the usurped ring and provide remote support to either party at any time and anywhere.

"Yo! Holy Grail War Salvation Team, let's go!"

After each of them confirmed their series of actions, Flat shouted loudly as if he was celebrating something, showing no sign of nervousness in the face of the dangerous situation.

Even though the others were used to Flatt's inconsistency, they couldn't help but feel worried. Kirshtalia, who had just made the main deployment arrangements, didn't react much, just nodded politely. Flatt's ability was still reliable, which was fully demonstrated when he developed the Usurpation Ring props. At least those fantastic ideas were definitely not something Kirshtalia could think of quickly under the same time conditions.

Since they are capable, it doesn't matter if they have a strange personality, right? Kirshtalia always has a very positive attitude towards such people.

Humph.

Katniss on the side said nothing, and seemed not to appreciate the frivolous behavior.

----------

"So... this is your 'support'?"

On the battlefield of the Great Mother, Toosaka Rin held the used Ring of Usurpation in her hand. Only then did she understand what Qin Xuan had told her about the "surprise" that Flatt would bring.

"It has been used before. Is it the power of Typhon? But the energy reaction is very weak. It seems that the amount added is too little, resulting in insufficient power."

Toosaka Rin briefly checked and said, "You guys are out of power, don't you think you need to ask the gods to recharge you?"

"Ahahaha," Flatt scratched his head. "Time is limited. This is just a temporary test product. Besides, don't we have our own combat support?"

"you......?"

Toosaka Rin looked at Katniss on the flying dragon next to her. That one was more reliable, but Flatt's words... were really a bit risky.

"If you can still be so confident after seeing how outrageous the Great Mother is, then let's talk about it."

hum-

The change happened suddenly. It was not a sound echoing in the air, but a vibration caused by some kind of bending of space and time, just like a gravitational wave.

Because Toosaka Rin was the first to move away from the Great Mother Goddess and the star ring's domain, she was unable to witness the development of the cosmic view, but at this time, it seemed that the huge light body formed by the Great Mother Goddess became unstable.

The star rings around the body were shrinking and expanding unstablely like the movement of a fetus, and were rotating at a high speed. At the same time, the empty dark area expanded rapidly, and in almost the blink of an eye it expanded to the front of Toosaka Rin and the others. The starlight was also radiating and multiplying, just like when the universe was first created and all things were formed. A large number of starlight was born from the middle of the light body and kept moving towards the edge of the darkness.

“Eh?? This is——”

It was the first time that Flatt had seen such a scene. The giant of light just now was enough to amaze him, but the vivid astronomical scene happening on the surface was even more indescribable.

"It's inflation!"

There was no time to explain the inflation theory of the origin of the universe. Toosaka Rin immediately signaled them to move away. They couldn't just stand there and watch.

However, unlike Katniss and Grey who had quick instincts and retreated quickly, Flatt did not forget to stare at the scene while running away. Just when Toosaka Rin's blood pressure rose sharply, he screamed.

"No, look!"

In the midst of these words, this spectacle that seemed like a microscopic universe had stopped expanding—it would be more accurate to say that it got stuck halfway.

Then, the contradictory "principles" began to conflict, the universe lost its order, and was torn into two parts. The universe began to collapse, and its original appearance began to appear.

——Yulandel, as well as the two people beside her, Bronya and Raiden Mei, appeared in the air in front of the light body.

"It actually... succeeded, so quickly? Isn't it a bit too exaggerated?" Qin Xuan also told Toosaka Rin that she knew about the specialness of Yulandel. She was not a person who specialized in the scientific world, nor had she studied the 'largest-scale rough stone'. According to her understanding, Yulandel was probably the human being on the scientific side who possessed the largest-scale spiritual tool (container) and a very high spiritual level, right?

If she can use her power properly like this, then it won't be difficult for the Great Mother to deal with her...?

But the reality is not so optimistic.

After the catastrophic cosmological force expanded, it suffered an impact and became discrete. Pieces of "block universe" were supported on the light body. Multiple star rings shrank rapidly like inverted clouds, and a large amount of void domain and starlight were rapidly rolled back.

The center of this series of phenomena is the confrontation between Yulandel and the light body. The simulated star map, the quantum sea, targets the Great Mother Goddess Baal Ishtar Gathetuschu and the entire cosmology, causing a double impact on the concept and reality. This impact is also reflected in the light body as the carrier of the microcosmic reality.

The light body, which was in an unstable state, fell down.

Suddenly, everyone present felt as if a catastrophe was about to happen and the sky was falling apart.

"Hey, hey, hey--really?"

Toosaka Rin stared at the ground. Earthquake? No, the whole earth was sinking?

From the nearby range of tens of kilometers to thousands of kilometers, countless horrible shocks and waves spread under the land, rock strata collapsed, sand and soil sank, and people in countless North American cities screamed and fell to the ground. Then the world spun around, and all kinds of objects toppled over in the room. Smaller buildings were all displaced as a whole, and huge buildings such as skyscrapers made sounds of unstable foundations and were about to crumble.

The chaotic clouds in the sky are like a picture painted with careless brushstrokes, as if mourning the tragic plight of Mother Earth.

"Although the spiritual power of the Great Mother Goddess is almost the top spiritual power in the lineage of the Earth Mother Goddess, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the 'Earth' itself, but it is too much to wantonly affect the earth to this extent!"

"What's the big deal? None of these shitty gods are good!" Katniss still loves to insult gods.

"Ahaha, doesn't China have an old saying 'earth dragon turning over' to describe earthquakes? It makes sense that the Great Mother Goddess falling represents the sinking of the continent, right?" Flatt joked. "By the way, my best friend (Thea) who was scouting just now told me that the entire North America seems to have been torn into two halves, east and west!"

"You don't need to tell me, I just knew it!" Toosaka Rin was extremely annoyed. It was impossible to handle it secretly from the beginning, but she couldn't accept it in her heart that it had developed to this point even with Qin Xuan's help.

Unfortunately, according to the agreement with Gaia and the need to test the possibility or potential of human nature, neither Qin Xuan nor Gaia will personally take part in the experiment, but will be responsible for collecting the results and covering the bottom line. The participants are only "agents" like her.

Chapter 459 Ereshkigal, Ba the Goddess and Yinglong

With the above layer of backup, Toosaka Rin had a rough estimate of the direction of the entire world. Even if it failed, that is, the attack on the Great Mother Goddess/Church failed, it would only cause Qin Xuan to adopt another development plan for experimentation in the future, and there would not be much loss.

However, the subsequent agreement with Gaia may have fallen through. ——Gaia didn’t care much about humans in the first place, and if the experiment failed, Gaia would only think that humans (human history) lacked potential and were far less stable than the Age of Gods and would refuse to cooperate.

"We have to win the game for sure."

Not only must we win, but we must win as beautifully as possible. If by the time all the enemies are defeated, the world is almost destroyed, that situation is not a complete victory after all.

Seeing that Yulandel and the others were planning to take advantage of the poor condition of the Great Mother Goddess to launch further attacks, Toosaka Rin also flew over with the Fever Temple.

"Well, it's almost time to decide the winner." At the same time, a voice containing magical power echoed in the void. The summoning words were recited, and an invisible directional force, or "fate", seemed to be linked to Ishtar, the original body inside the Great Mother Goddess's light body, "Be full, be full, be full..."

The light body of the Great Mother Goddess seemed somewhat unstable, perhaps because the conflict of cosmic views had caused the instability of her real form. The originally maintained female appearance began to show a disordered photon cloud state in some parts of her body, as if her limbs were broken and turned into an unstable golden cloud.

Reminiscent of an electron cloud structure.

But this state is also dangerous.

At this time, Youlan Dell and other three super-powered people were removing obstacles. A large amount of light particles poured out from the light body itself, containing a strong primitive divinity. Not only did they spread in a cloud-like manner, but they also formed extremely high-temperature dangerous beam attacks.

The boundless cloud of light particles spread out, radiating in all directions, forming a rain of divine beam bombardment with a density and intensity like a storm. The attack formed by these light particles was originally a temporary occurrence in the unstable situation after the collapse of the Great Mother Goddess's cosmology. As the power of the Great Mother Goddess to create the world, it is also the original power of the celestial body of the earth. Therefore, it can also be said to be the ancient breath of the power of the stars - that is, any light particle is regarded as equivalent to the release of a treasure, the Sword of Promised Victory.

Boom boom boom boom——

The closer you get to the light body itself, the denser the rain of beams becomes, leaving almost no room to dodge or maneuver.

At the critical moment, Yulandel, Bronya, and Raiden Mei formed a tight formation and continued to advance in the dangerous ocean of light particles.

But someone - Toosaka Rin, holding a huge light and heat spear, rushed forward at high speed while chanting a summoning spell:

"——Declare! Your body is at my service; my fate is on your sword... Cross the Wheel of Restraint and emerge! Guardian of the Scales!"

Toosaka Rin acted extremely quickly. After the light body caused a continental disaster, she did not intend to delay any further. No matter what, defeating and stopping this goddess from causing further trouble was her top priority.

With the blessing of burning mana and the super-scale liberation of the Fever Temple, Toosaka Rin was the first to contact the light body at a speed that surpassed the other three. The Fever Temple, Meslamthea, emitted a sun-like light, linking the brain body, Ishtar, and Toosaka Rin together with "fate" as the fuse. The chanting was completed at the same time, and under the rich divine environment and precise catalyst, the summoning ritual was completed instantly.

"you--"

Ishtar's will conveyed vague surprise.
