"We are still comrades with a common goal."

Chapter 46: Divine Ingenuity is...the Third Method?

A common goal?

Youzhu looked at Edward's expression opposite her and tapped the teacup lightly with her fingers.

He doesn't look like he's aiming for divine power.

"Your common goal...isn't it divine ingenuity?"

The questioning words came out of Youzhu's mouth.

Hearing this, Edward was stunned for a moment, then he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled twice.

The laughter seemed to be an acknowledgement of this, but more like a non-denial.

Edward neither admitted that the target was divine ingenuity nor denied Youzhu's words.

This attitude is enough.

Youzhu leaned back leisurely.

"But...cooperation?"

She stroked the cup holder under her teacup.

"First, let me hear about your research on divine ingenuity."

"Of course, cooperation requires an attitude." Edward answered very straightforwardly.

The light in his eyes jumped slightly, and after a while, he slowly spoke.

"In the prophecy just now, the divine ingenuity has a characteristic that is like flawless jade."

"In other words, the divine mechanism can withstand any blow or impact and is an eternally indestructible existence."

He waved his fingers, and magic formed a circular pattern in the air.

It was a piece of pure white jade.

"But such a thing cannot exist in this world."

"So is it possible that the divine body was not created by us, but by Himself?"

As if hearing this hypothesis for the first time, Cedric's expression became noticeably stunned.

Youzhu also narrowed her eyes with interest.

Edward continued, his hands slightly spread out.

"The Earth just existed when we were born. I didn't do anything, God gave me the Earth and the light."

He sang the words like a song.

“But the order should be reversed.”

He made an upside-down motion with his hands.

"Humanity was born only after the earth was created."

"Then, is it possible that the divine mechanism first gained a soul and then relied on the soul to form a physical body?"

Listening to Edward's words, Cedric's eyes slowly widened, as if something impossible was happening before his eyes.

At this time, other voices sounded.

"...Materialization?"

"That's right! Arizuma-san, materialization... that's a great word! It's the materialization of the soul!"

It was Youzhu who had just spoken, and for the first time in this world she looked somewhat shocked.

Isn't this... the third magic?

Edward opposite raised the corners of his mouth excitedly and spread his hands as if he was telling the truth of the world.

"We can replenish the magic power we consume when we sleep, so where does this magic power come from?"

"Through sleep, souls can connect to each other and to a certain place, thus replenishing their magical power."

"Whether that 'somewhere' is another dimension, another universe, the spirit world, or the divine realm is currently unknown. However, that place is connected to us 'humans' and is the source of magical power."

"Our 'human' bodies cannot withstand magic power beyond our capacity. Everyone's body is different, so everyone's magic power limit is different."

"And the life born from the materialization of the soul will possess immense magical power—that is, vitality. This immense power may even be infinite."

"So, this is the divine mechanism that is immortal, possesses immense magical power, can change its form at will, and may even allow humanity to evolve."

Edward finished his words as if in a salute.

Youzhu put her hand to her lips to hide her surprised expression.

Turning the soul into a perpetual motion machine to obtain an endless source of magic power, what Edward described is exactly the characteristics of Type-Moon's third magic.

Magic represents life, endless magic represents endless life, and endless life represents immortality.

The materialized body of the soul can freely transform into any appearance, shape, or object.

Cedric was stunned for a long moment, then suddenly came to his senses and shouted.

"Wait, do souls really exist in this world?"

In all his past education, he had not learned anything about the soul.

Modern scholars do not recognize the existence of the soul.

Hearing this, Edward suddenly calmed down.

"So, the above are just hypotheses. We don't have any method to capture or observe the human soul."

"However, as for the study of divine ingenuity, we have turned to the study of artificially synthesized souls."

"We have made considerable progress in this area of ​​research."

His tone returned to what it was when they first met, kind yet a little rude.

"...Through the accumulation of magic power, can artificial souls evolve into human souls?" Youzhu's voice sounded again.

"...oh?"

Edward's eyes suddenly became sharp as he scrutinized Youzhu.

He suppressed the output of a lot of information, but classmate Youzhu was able to guess the focus of his research through this little information.

It seems that this cooperation may be a good move.

"Since the divine mechanism has not yet been born, it means that it has not yet obtained the human soul."

Youzhu lowered her hand from her lips and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Then there are only a few reasons why an artificially synthesized soul cannot become a human soul. Or, there is a problem with the direction. An artificially synthesized soul cannot become a human soul at all."

Youzhu slowly met Edward's sharp gaze, and the principal finally looked like a principal and the strongest magician.

"Either the magic power is not enough, or there is no container that can hold magic power similar to that of a human soul."

The corners of her mouth curved into a confident curve.

The box suddenly became quiet, like the silence before a storm.

After a while, Edward finally spoke, and the storm subsided.

"...I can tell Yuzu-san that it's the latter."

After saying that, as if changing his expression, the smile returned to Edward's face.

He stared straight at Youzhu opposite him, as if waiting for something.

You've come up with a theory and hinted at some direction. Now are you waiting for some value from here?

Youzhu waved her fingers slightly and asked nonchalantly, "You seem to believe in prophecies very much."

"It's more of an observation than a prediction."

Edward held up two fingers and placed them in front of his eyes.

"Prophecies determine the future, and once observed, it cannot be changed. Therefore, the more critical the situation, the more cautious observation should be made. Prophecies often use ambiguous language to broaden the scope of interpretation and avoid tragedy."

Is it similar to Future Vision?

Youzhu raised the corners of her mouth slightly and folded her hands together.

She slowly stood up and walked towards the door.

"Then I can tell you that my magic is indeed related to fairy tales."

"You should know the blue robin next to me."

Edward waved his hand. "Of course. I often come to school to play."

That stupid bird really didn't escape people's eyes.

Youzhu half-closed her eyelids, looking relaxed and contented.

"His name is Robin."

After saying that, she walked out with light steps, and the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid followed its owner closely.

Edward and Cedric stared at them in silence.

As the footsteps faded away, the room returned to silence.

“Who killed Cock Robin.”

Someone's murmur came from somewhere, like the murmur of a soul.

Chapter 47 I won't act on my own

Youzhu was walking out of the restaurant with light steps.

The slightly raised corners of her mouth seemed to indicate that she was very satisfied with the conversation.

Just keep the communication to a certain point and the other party should understand.

At least it would be convenient for Yuzu to move around the campus, such as in the dormitory where she was the only one.

Just as Youzhu was about to walk out of the restaurant, Edward's voice sounded behind her.

"Aruzuka-san."

The footsteps suddenly stopped, and after the girl turned around, he spoke softly.

"It seems there's also a little puppet like the one you have at school."

Youzhu was stunned. Did he guess it?

Although she hadn't thought of hiding her collection of Rozen Maidens, she didn't expect to be discovered right after entering the school.

It seems that he was being watched when he was outside the school.

"I understand." After responding softly, Youzhu turned around and pushed open the door of the restaurant.

Edward waved his hand friendly behind her, like a kind old grandfather.

As the restaurant door opened, many students came over.

They talked and played with each other, seemingly not noticing the difference here at all.

Among them was a lady walking in the crowd, hurriedly looking for something.

After Youzhu left, Cedric walked out of the box and slowly walked behind Edward.

The magic surrounding her gradually dissipated, and a girl with silver curly hair appeared in her place.

Her hands lay limply at her sides, as if she had not yet recovered from the previous conversation.

"...Just because of that prophecy, you went to find her in person?"
