"Alliance?"
Shiro Omiya's mouth was agape. The twintailed lady who rushed over early in the morning made such a shocking statement, which confused the clueless young man. "But why?"
"It's a normal choice, isn't it?"
As he said this, he glanced in our direction, seemingly unintentionally or unintentionally.
"The Einz Belem family's summoned spirit is stronger than expected. Archer is no match for it alone, and you're a dabbler who can't even provide mana to your servant. In order to increase the chance of victory, isn't it the best choice to temporarily unite?"
"Then … what about the Holy Grail? Isn't that something very important to Mr. Enaka? If we cooperate, doesn't that mean we have to ally with the enemy? "
"Yes … well, that's something to consider in the future. At that time, we can fight it out or do something else. But right now, I think it's best to unite."
"But for you to choose a dabbler like me as your ally …"
Shiro Omiya was obviously self-aware. At this moment, he honestly admitted that he was a dabbler. In response to his answer, Rin Enaka's gaze once again drifted to the four people of Empire who were busy fighting for the TV. Her meaning was quite obvious: Do you think I chose to ally with you for the sake of a dabbler magician?
Well, this lady really put us in her hunting range.
Even if she used the excuse that "aliens don't participate in Earth's conflicts" as an excuse, this missy would not give up on the opportunity to borrow our strength. Moreover, the shocking actions of the two girls last night had already affected the Holy Grail War that had erupted between Earthlings. It was just like how Zaft and the Earth army were fighting to the death on the battlefield a second ago, and then a passing Eva accidentally stepped on Kira Yamato, who was displaying his might. How could both sides treat that Eva as a fleeting cloud …?
With that in mind, I couldn't help but give two more headshots to the heads of the two fellows who were fighting over the channel.
"I don't really understand your weird stuff," I said to Rin Enaka as I pacified the awkward sisters who were pulling each other's hair. "But do you really think something like the Holy Grail can fulfill all human desires?"
The one who replied to me wasn't Rin Harasaka. Instead, it was Saber, who had been sitting upright all this while. "Your powers are indisputable, but please don't underestimate the power of the Holy Grail. It's already a miracle that can reverse the flow of life and death, which is why I firmly believe that the Holy Grail can fulfill your wishes."
"Humph." I tilted my head. "I don't believe it can help me reduce the expansion rate of the universe by three percent!"
Everyone: "…"
"Well, at least I think the wishes of humans within the scope of Earth should be realized … Why do I suddenly feel so unmotivated …"
Halfway through her sentence, Miss Harasaka suddenly let out a long sigh in despair. Then, she shot me a sharp look. "I've decided. I will never take your words seriously in the future unless it's absolutely necessary. Otherwise, my worldview will be ruined!"
The discussion about the Holy Grail had already happened between us two or three times. I had to admit that my acting skills were pretty good. From the perspective of an "alien", I elaborated on my doubts about the so-called "Almighty Cauldron" in detail. At this time, an interesting part appeared. The Holy Grail War in the world of Fate had always been based on a fixed point of view: Earth was the world, the blood of Jesus was the blood of the true God, and the Holy Grail was a miraculous object bestowed by the true God's power. Therefore, the person who obtained the Holy Grail would have the luck to fulfill any wish, even the wish to change the world. From the beginning to the end, this theory had never considered that there were other things outside of Earth, such as us.
And so, when an alien who completely denied the entire Holy Grail system and had nothing to do with Gaia and Alaya, the two great restraining powers, appeared, all sorts of subtle yet fatal contradictions appeared in a completely inexplicable state. The simplest example was: could the Holy Grail that could fulfill any wish alleviate the rampant piracy in the Centaurus Constellation?
And so, our pitiful Miss Harasaka became less and less motivated in our discussions … However, it seemed that her true goal wasn't to fulfill the so-called wish to revitalize her family. She only wanted to use the process of winning to prove her own strength, to prove that she had the right to inherit the Harasaka Family. As for reviving her family, I believed that this strong girl wanted to achieve it with her own hands. It was precisely because of this that the girl named Harasaka Rin still persisted in her firm belief even after our "worldview" was destroyed.
"Brother, do I really have to go to school?"
Seeing that it was getting late, and that Shiro Emiya and Harasaka Rin had already prepared to go to school, Sorenko suddenly came over with a pitiful expression and said this with a wronged expression.
"You're just going to play for two days." I patted Sorenko's little head. "I've already done all the paperwork for you. If it wasn't for the fact that I didn't make any arrangements, I was even intending to throw Pandora and Shiro into an elementary school today!"
Right after I said this, the two sisters who were messing around with each other instantly quieted down and disappeared from everyone's sight. It seemed that the short few months of school life had left a deep shadow in Pandora's heart, and even Visca was infected by it.
As for the matter of arranging for Sorenko to go to school, I explained it to the public. Firstly, it was to fit in with the reason that I had casually mentioned to the "tiger" of Fujimura that we were temporarily staying here. Secondly, it was because my younger sister was very interested in Earthling schools. This explanation was quite reasonable, and even Harasaka Rin wasn't able to find any problems with it. No matter how high Miss Rin's intelligence was, there was no way that she would be able to guess that we came here with a guide, right?
Even if the guide seemed to be quite unreliable at times …
Sending Sorenko to school wasn't difficult at all. Sicarro and his specialized team had already arranged everything behind the scenes for us, from fake IDs to fake school transfer certificates. The only problem was that Sorenko was obviously only at the age of a middle school student. Sending her to Harasaka Rin's high school would attract a lot of attention, but when I thought about how Pandora had entered her first year of high school at the age of an elementary school student and was known as the Professor's Terminator, I decisively ignored this problem. And so, a little later this morning, the genius girl named Sorenko Sakamoto, who came from Tokyo, Japan, and had transferred to Fuyuki City to join her relatives, officially became Shiro Emiya and Harasaka Rin's classmate. Sorenko, who had finally left her school life and thought that she would be able to have fun for a few days, was thrown into school just like that …
Yep, after making arrangements for Sorenko, it seemed that it was time for me to take a walk.
As I strolled down the narrow streets of Fuyuki City, I began to slowly analyze the energy composition of this world, which was simple and thin, but still quite eye-catching.
Low magic, low energy, the world of Fate was undoubtedly a low-energy world. Here, even the strongest human magician would be unable to cast forbidden spells or the like. Of course, such things didn't exist in the settings of this world, but based on my senses, the energy network in this world was indeed extremely simple. In fact, there were only five main energy structures.
It had a structure even simpler than the magic net that Silver Moon City used for lighting.
However, such a simple structure of Mystery directly represented the most foundational power of the entire world. If I followed it deeper, perhaps I would be able to come into contact with the two ultimate powers of this world, or perhaps I should say, this Earth?
However, for the time being, I didn't intend to disturb these two Suppression Powers who shared the same name as my younger sister. The energy composition of this world was far too interesting. With such a low energy level, humans were able to use their limited magic power to communicate with the True Origin (this was what the blood elves were used to calling it). This allowed humans to use their limited magic power to communicate with the True Origin. This was something that was incredibly difficult to accomplish in many high-energy worlds. If we could analyze the principles behind this "True Origin Compression", perhaps we would be able to mass-produce Law weapons like Avalon. However, if we rashly disturbed the Suppression Powers of this world, all that analysis would be for naught. The two Suppression Powers who loved to go to extremes would definitely fight to the death with me, an invader.
I ordered Avalon, which was wandering in the void, to gradually approach this world, and use the peeping from the Garden of the Departed World to spy on … cough cough, aim at the energy network of this planet and even the entire solar system. This was the safest choice I made after much consideration.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, an indistinct magic wave from afar caught my attention, causing me to temporarily stop my connection with Avalon's control mechanism. Then, I looked in a certain direction. Using my spiritual senses, I could sense that an ominous force field was gradually covering that direction.
It's … the direction of the school?
It can't be! Something strange happened so quickly. Should I say that Tears had already gotten some sort of troublemaking trait from me?
"Tears! How's the situation over there? "
"It's alright." Tears' loud and energetic voice sounded. "It's just that something really uncomfortable has suddenly appeared. I want to scan the school's situation, and I'm currently flipping through the manual for the smart probes. These little things won't budge no matter what."
"Don't worry about the probes. Prioritize protecting the ordinary students in the school. I'm on my way."
I hurriedly hung up the spiritual connection and directly flashed into a deserted alley at the side. Then, I activated spatial teleportation.
Damn it, I actually activated the magic array so quickly?
As soon as I entered the school, a thick and nauseating feeling surged towards me from all directions. Something that ordinary people couldn't perceive with their five senses was magnified countless times by my mutated spiritual power. It was truly a tragedy.
But even though it was disgusting, the magic power that permeated the school couldn't possibly affect me. Not to mention that my innate ability was able to resist all forms of energy attacks, even if I didn't do anything, the magic array that the school used to absorb life force wouldn't have any effect on me. After hanging out with Jingle all the time, the power of the Goddess of Life had naturally caused some subtle changes to me. At the very least, all the negative effects of the weakening element were ineffective against me.
I quickly walked out from behind the school building where I was hiding and reached out to grab a student who was passing by. "Do you know which class Rin Enaka is in?"
Zuo Tianlei was a student who had just transferred here, so naturally, not many people here would recognize her. However, Rin Enaka was a famous top student in the school, so there shouldn't be anyone who didn't recognize him.
However, the student that I grabbed didn't have any reaction. He only glanced at me sluggishly before lowering his head with a tired expression on his face. Then, he swayed as he walked away.
Even though it hadn't officially started, these students were already like walking corpses?
"Brother! We're over here! "
At that moment, Lei's voice sounded from behind me. I turned around and saw Lei, Wei Gong, and Rin Enaka standing in a corner not far away, waving at me from afar.
"Phew, looks like we made it in time."
I quickly ran in front of the three of them and said after letting out a long breath.
"You already knew what was going to happen today?"
Rin Enaka asked after we reached a secluded corner. It was obvious that this smart lady had already understood something.
"Letting your sister enter the school should be because of today's incident, right?"
"More or less." I scratched my head. "But my original intention was to have Lei monitor the abnormal energy that appeared in this school. We were very interested in this energy, but we didn't expect it to explode today."
"Is that so?" Rin Enaka looked at me suspiciously. "I'll believe you for now, but be careful. There's a forbidden spell set up here that can absorb life force. If you're careless, you'll be at a disadvantage. This dabbler and I have been searching for the person who set up the spell for the past few days, but we haven't found anything yet."
Just as Rin Enaka said that, I felt the disgusting energy field around me suddenly tremble. Then, it started pulsing rhythmically.
It was an indescribable feeling. If I had to describe it with my spiritual power, it would be like … being soaked in a heart and having it rise and fall along with the flow of dirty blood.
"Sh * t! It activated so quickly! There should still be a few hours left! "
Even Shiro Emiya turned pale with fright when he heard Rin Motosa's exclamation. Even though he was a dabbler, he knew what the consequences of this formation would be. But the problem was that it was too late to stop it. After a few days of investigation and destruction, they were still unable to stop the enemy's actions.
"Tears, protect the civilians."
I hurriedly reminded the girl who was still in a daze. She immediately understood and changed her equipment. * Swoosh! * She drew her sword and forcefully stabbed it into the ground. "Order to Arm!!"
A light blue ring of light spread out at the same time as the blood-red tainted magic power. It covered the entire school. Perhaps ordinary people wouldn't be able to see anything, but in the eyes of extraordinary people like us, the world had instantly changed.
A holy temple of blood enveloped the school. The Taotie spellcaster was about to enjoy this feast of life force, but then … he bit a mouthful of sand.
I led the confused Enaka and Wei Gong out of the school building where they were hiding. The situation in the outside world gave the two of them quite a shock.
All the teachers and students in the school still had blank expressions on their faces as they walked around aimlessly. The blood-red magic power kept attacking the source of life force, but it could only cause tiny ripples on the psionic shields.
That's right! Psionic shields. Every teacher and student had a psionic shield on them. Even Shiro Wei Gong and Rin Enaka were no exception.
Order to Arm. How should I describe it? This spell had another name: "Militia Wave."
…
As the name suggested, it was a skill that armed the civilians as a temporary fighting force. Tears' Order to Arm covered the entire school, temporarily turning all the teachers and students into basic Schilling Battle Puppets. Of course, under Tears' intentional control, this kind of armor was incomplete. They only had the defense of Schilling Battle Puppets and a basic psionic shield. Since humans couldn't produce psionic energy, this transformation could only last for about thirty minutes. However, within these thirty minutes, the psionic shield would definitely be enough to resist the corrosion of magic power.
When everything was over, they wouldn't feel anything amiss. If no one reminded them, they wouldn't even realize that they had mysteriously lost half an hour of time today.
This skill seemed a little useless. In most situations, a group of battle puppets that could only be used as cannon fodder couldn't even compare to a few heavy photon cannons. However, this skill was once known as the most disgusting ability of the Storm Commander. This was because the effect of Order to Arm was not limited to humanoid creatures. Basically, anything that could move could be affected by this skill, including rats, cockroaches, rolling glass balls, and grass mud horses that passed by …
An overwhelming number of psionic units, ranging from primates to microbes, were charging at the enemy's position. Every single one of them was equipped with a psionic shield. Even if they couldn't bite you to death, they would still disgust you to death. Cockroaches with psionic shields could even knock out your front teeth in the next second. This was no longer a military attack. This was a bloody psychological attack!
Of course, in general, this was still a useless skill that could only be used to disgust people. No one knew which genius commander came up with this.
"What is this thing?"
Miss Yuan Ban curiously poked at the psionic shield in front of her. As a result, her finger reached out without any obstruction. She was immediately shocked. The outside of the psionic shield was tainted with blood-colored magic. To Yuan Ban, it was a rather disgusting thing.
"It's just a little laxative." I chuckled. Then, I turned to Teardrop. "Lass, let the psionic energy enter a spreading state."
The countless psionic shields in the school flickered at the same time. Then, light blue mist began to rise from the surface of the shields. The moment the mist left the shields, it was affected by the magic in the air. It began to gather into a huge whirlpool that floated towards the top of the tallest school building.
In the next second, the blood-red formation flashed violently, and then it collapsed in an instant.
"He shouldn't be able to escape now," I said with certainty. Then, I took the lead and walked forward. "If we hurry, we should be able to capture him alive. The physique of a Heroic Spirit won't last long under the corrosion of the psionic energy!"
