People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

"Report: The reenactment weapon has been operating abnormally for a period of time."

No. 17 said this and released a video of "[Error report: The object to be read is missing]".

"I see. It seems that the subject of the so-called [Final Trial of Humanity] is UO. Now that one is missing, is it because I 'swallowed' the program instead of killing UO and completing the program?

"That's interesting. In other words, it's possible for me to master more 'programs' by continuing this behavior? However, even so, the amount of UO is still too small to guarantee that I can take the initiative.

"No. 17, how is the situation with the weapons replay now?"

"Report: The sand sea is still moving abnormally, and it is judged to be still in an abnormal operating state."

"Oh, you're determined to 'kill the virus', right? No. 17, connect to the switchboard and transfer the data of [Honkai Impact Memory] to see if you can add some DLC to it."

Well, there are trials anyway, and a trial of collapse is still a trial!

Chapter 56 "Announce to the world the return of the Golden Dawn!"

"No. 17, before you hack into the 'Reenactment Weapon' program, can you confirm the location of its main body?"

"Report: From the observation results of the underground cavernous sand sea, the source of the abnormal movement is still the individual named 'Skeleton King', which is presumed to be the main body's location."

"Is there a possibility of a successful invasion at this time?"

Prometheus shook his head. "Creator, judging from the data you sent back from the 'Simulated World - Land of Steel', the program scale and performance of the reenactment weapon far exceeded expectations. Although it is still in an abnormal state, the success rate of the invasion is infinitely close to zero."

“Is there any way to increase the success rate?”

"Based on the monitoring of the replay weapon during this period, it can be judged that it was most confused when it scanned the program abnormality. After that, the replay weapon was processed by unknown principles, and the program operation gradually stabilized." Fortunately, No. 17 did observe a direction. "According to your intelligence, that moment basically coincided with the moment you successfully swallowed the Venus UO. That is, performing the same action again will significantly increase the success rate."

"Hmm..." Qin Xuan had no questions about this. The only thing that confused him was why the skeleton king form that maintained the "spiritual body of King Arthur" was still retained.

Since the weapon has activated another function, it should at least change into another form, such as the symbol of Atlas such as Triple Hermes and Isis. In any case, it cannot be an irrelevant person like "King Arthur".

Could it be that the "simulating the spirit of King Arthur" function is still open? Is this part also providing support for the simulation program?

"It seems that before that," Qin Xuan thought of the steps of King Arthur's resurrection ceremony in Blackmoya Village, "I still need to 'borrow' something from the Black Madonna faction.

"——Call Xiao Zi, go find the leader of that faction——that old woman," Qin Xuan quickly conveyed the order. He decided to use illusion to take the things away directly, "Take the 'Invasion Blade Gold' from her."

The Invading Blade Gold is said to be a treasure bestowed by the Black Saint Mother, which can separate the soul and spirit.

Qin Xuan planned to use this treasure as well. If he could successfully separate the Skeleton King from the re-enacted weapon and take away some of its functions, it would undoubtedly increase the success rate.

"Father." Ye Ye's voice came.

"what's up?"

"People from the Holy Church are coming soon."

----------

Under Xiao Zi's illusion, no one in the village noticed that there was a strange man with long silver hair and wearing loose life-support clothes among them - Qin Xuan.

Even after these days of work, he had relied on the characteristics of some weak nodes in the barrier to open up a surface passage that bypassed the barrier and connected the inside and outside of the village, but the gravekeeper Belsak was completely unaware of this.

However, Qin Xuan's purpose of passing through the passage and leaving the village had nothing to do with these villagers. His target was the "army" of the Holy Church. The quality of these people in the Holy Church was second only to the servants of the Holy Grail War. They simply crushed the villagers. Of course, Pastor Fernando, who knew nothing except the baptismal chant, was not among them.

On the other hand, the Agent Crusade Team led by Sister Irmia was fully equipped with a new type of weapon, namely the Apocryphal Weapon - Key of Constraint (Single Soldier Version). Although these scaled-down versions of the Key of Constraint can be carried by one person, their functions and effective range are greatly reduced.

In addition to the simple chain gun tracking function, the effective range of the "Divine Grace Barrier" is only two meters, which can only protect yourself at most.

But even so, conventional heretics (magicians, monsters) can't do anything to them.

——Unfortunately, the person they are about to face is Qin Xuan.

"Stop."

Irmia frowned and said to the members behind her, "There's something coming from the front, be alert."

Then she looked ahead again, and she almost thought she was seeing things—a blurry figure was approaching them at an extremely fast speed. How fast was it?

It was almost like teleporting at a certain distance. It was clearly a tiny dot far away the moment before, but the next moment it seemed to have skipped countless frames and was at a distance where they could clearly see the human form.

Therefore, almost a second after the Holy Church stopped lining up, the man appeared before their eyes.

"Who is it?" Irmia sensed the man's extreme danger and saw his appearance clearly:

He wore a bright Scottish military uniform, but a wizard hat on his head, a black cloak on his shoulders, and a scarf around his neck. Such a strange dress also revealed his identity - a "heretic" to the church.

"Samuel Reed McQueen Mathers, the leader of the Golden Dawn in this world," Qin Xuan said, "Crusaders, you don't have to remember this name, because -

"You will be the sacrifice, the first victim of the 'Golden Renaissance', the first stepping stone of the 'Dawn Return', before clearing out that 'traitor'."

The man's tone was condescending, as if he was stating a fact that had already happened.

As for how to bring the Golden Series to the world's attention, what could be more appropriate than a re-enactment of the Blythe Street War?

Qin Xuan thought of putting on the illusion of "Mathers", the founder of the Golden Dawn, and extending the dispute of the Golden System, especially the confrontation between Mathers and Crowley. And this is the time for Crowley to appear.

The magic world is too stagnant nowadays. Even if a large number of "Minor Arcana Arms" are sold, it is impossible to quickly advance the perfection of "Rose Cross". How to speed up the progress? Only disputes and battles.

The scale of techniques involved in daily sparring and minor fights in the magic world is just a small splash in a huge deep pool. It is necessary to create bigger conflicts.

"You—" Irmia was about to answer, but she saw the man raise his hand, "No! Everyone, spread your hands—"

She thought that such an arrogant man would at least not bother to take the initiative, but she didn't expect that this extremely selfish man was an efficiency oriented person.

"Earth, reveal your nature to me."

There was no complicated chanting, no sign of a ritual, the celestial phenomena were immediately replaced—

A rumbling sandstorm descended, obscuring and bombarding everything. The flying sand and rocks all around became deadly weapons.

The Holy Church's divine grace barrier was deployed in time, but would it really work?

"How can a crudely made ritual compete with me?" Mathers said in a high voice, "Warm and dry, fire, show your nature before me."

The next moment, in the boundless sandstorm, a torrent of flames swept in and passed through the barrier unaffected.

The high temperature and black smoke invaded, and the hot, flaming flying rocks indiscriminately bombarded the earth. The originally lush mountain scenery seemed to have become a continuously burning land, a purgatory-like scene.

Chapter 57: People of the world, hope to lock the gods -

Qin Xuan knew very well that the bond of the Holy Church was not impeccable.

In addition to the specially developed "Minor Arcana Rituals", special magic techniques can also break the defense of the Key of Constraint.

It's very simple. Everyone knows that the principle of the Constraint Key is to make magic power degrade infinitely, but they don't know its operating mechanism. The activation of the Constraint Key actually selects the object. There is a certain interval between degrading the previous magic and degrading the next magic. Of course, the full version of the Constraint Key has a high configuration and high power, which is almost equivalent to indiscriminately degrading magic power.

Unless someone can release thousands of magics of different attributes in an instant, but there is no such person, I am afraid it will only work if we connect to the root.

In comparison, the flaws of the Constraint Key when reduced to a single-person configuration are more obvious in this regard. The interval is basically within a few tenths of a second, but this speed still kills the casting speed of most magicians in seconds.

Therefore, Qin Xuan took advantage of the characteristic that the four elements would be mixed with trace amounts of other elements, and after the attack was degraded, he used other unstable elements to launch an attack.

Therefore, the group of agents of the Holy Church in front of them failed to rely on this armed defense against Qin Xuan's magic, and it can even be said that they were completely defeated.

At this time, the environment was charred with sporadic flames remaining, the road was ugly and bumpy, and the surrounding vegetation had long been swept up in the sand and flames and burned to ashes. The members of the agent team were staggering all over, with horrible injuries.

This man... is a heretic among heretics... a devil among devils...

In the eyes of Irmia, the only one who could still stand, Mathers, the leader of the Golden Dawn, stood among his companions who had fallen in all directions. His coat was spotless, and the flying embers around him did not touch him at all. All the attacks of the agents on him were like a drop in the ocean, and had no effect at all.

"Monotheistic believers, that's all."

Mathers kicked down Irmia, the only one who still had the strength to rush forward.

Then he walked further and further away in the nun's angry and powerless eyes, and only heard him say:

"It's scary—"

"Wow—"

“Look up—”

"We, the Golden Dawn, will recreate the supreme feat in this era!"

----------

A land of steel. Somewhere in the wasteland.

After being busy in the real world, Qin Xuan slowly opened his eyes. But for a moment, he wanted to close them again.

Because he saw Ellie's face right in front of him, and he didn't know what she was going to do.

"Tell me, one, two, three, three, two, one, ah↗ah↘ah~"

As expected, Ellie started talking about something that Gray next to her didn't understand at all.

"Ah↗ah↘ah?" Gray obeyed without knowing why.

Qin Xuan opened his eyes instantly and pushed away Ai Li who was pressing on him, "Okay, okay, stop for a moment, Gray, don't learn from her."

"Oh, that's so sad. I've been guarding your body 24 hours a day. You can't let a beautiful girl down like this."

"If you ask, I've loved you before," Qin Xuan replied, giving you a taste of your own medicine, and then turned to look at Grey, "Well, Grey, you've worked hard."

Then, ignoring Ai Li's pretend cry of "no unfair treatment", Qin Xuan quickly got down to business:

"I have dealt with the troubles in reality and learned some new information. Now we need to revise our strategy to deal with UO..."

After explaining the action plan set by the real world, Qin Xuan asked Ai Li: "How long will it take for the remaining UOs to arrive here?"

"Hmm - the others seem to have just broken through the clouds and are preparing to descend. The Cross is the fastest and will be here soon."

"Okay!" Qin Xuan judged that this was a good opportunity, "Let's choose it as the target for devouring."

The Saturn (type: Saturn) is three kilometers long and is a cross-like Aristotle. Its surface is made of luminous minerals and has no lines. It is simply a super-large cross.

Wherever it passed, it poured out the rain of light of the cross. It was no exaggeration to say that wherever it passed, life was wiped out and the earth collapsed. The land was pierced by countless crosses, like countless tombstones spread out in the wilderness.

Apart from the black giant, this is the UO that poses the greatest threat to existing life.

After actually seeing the never-ending rain of light, Qin Xuan had a real understanding.

"You call this 'rain'?" Qin Xuan looked at the cross that was getting closer and closer in the distance. The rain of light it dropped was so dense that it almost formed a line. If there were not tiny gaps between the "rain", it could almost be said to be an "ultra-wide range light cannon that continuously bombards the ground."

Did it... originally have this strength? Or was it secretly strengthened by the weapon?

No matter what, Qin Xuan had to go, "Aili, bring Gray back to the 'World Island'."

In the past, Qin Xuan’s cave (now still a blessed land, not yet a world in itself) only had a chaotic lake that could not accommodate people and could store life essence. Now there is an island, which seems to have been anchored into a "world" by some concept, and can accommodate people, thus ensuring the safety of the team.

But when Qin Xuan got a little closer to the cross, the cross actually sensed something from a distance, and the rain of light gradually began to split, turn, and shoot straight towards Qin Xuan.

I'm awesome, do you have your own steering wheel?

The cross-shaped rain of light that came laterally flew faster and faster, becoming denser and denser, and soon became a supersonic pursuit missile that streaked across the sky. The air exploded countless times, like a rolling thunderstorm.

Qin Xuan was able to dodge once or twice at first, but the barrage was too dense, and soon he could only rely on his physical strength and patience to resist, "——No, the life essence is consumed too quickly!"

If so, let's try a new tactic.

The World Tree in Qin Xuan's cave soon sensed something. At this time, the rain of light from the "cross" had already completely tilted horizontally, so it did not expect that the ground directly below it was shaking and reviving, as if it had regained vitality after a long time.

In an instant, the "tree" broke out of the ground, revealing its strong root system, luxuriant vines, branches and leaves, and more and more, thousands and thousands of them, rising rapidly, entwining and gathering together, condensing a large amount of light, forming a dazzling, huge energy wedge at the tip -

This is the projection of the World Tree in the outside world, which is completed at the cost of consuming a large amount of life essence. It reproduces the characteristics of the parasitic Venus UO absorption concept. Although there is no assistance from the inhibitory force, it can still absorb the hostile life by piercing it.

People of the world, hope to lock up the gods (original) Ming (beginning)!

Chapter 58 Where the dream begins.jpg

People of the world, hope to chain the gods——!

Then, the World Tree soared into the sky, the wedge at the tip condensed its characteristics, transformed into a rapidly rising starlight, an unavoidable divine spear, hitting and stabbing -

The "Cross" was still locking onto Qin Xuan's body and attacking it. It was not that it could not observe the Venus UO, but that its logical judgment did not anticipate that it would be attacked by the same kind, so it was inevitably a beat slower.

When the "wedge" of the World Tree hit, the cross's rain of light stopped pouring down, and even though it failed to penetrate and only hit, it was enough to work.

After the puncture, the wedge successfully began to exert its "absorption" characteristics on the surface of the cross, which caused the function of the cross to stop temporarily. This moment was also a perfect opportunity for Qin Xuan's body.

As he approached the cross, an infinite amount of essence also gushed out from the cave, spilling and pouring onto its three-thousand-meter-long trunk, continuing to expand and tightly wrap around it.

"Swallow, start!"
