"It is extremely rude of me to let you see me in such an unseemly state, Master. I must have been too lax these past two days."

Hearing Chen Xuan's teasing, Artoria quickly explained.

"Come on, don't be so nervous and flustered. The fact that you feel shy means that the emotions you suppressed and forgot during your time as King Arthur are slowly being released and restored. That's a good thing."

"After all, having feelings, experiencing joy, shyness, and pain is what makes someone human and a real person. And only by having your own emotions can you truly rely on your own thoughts to embark on a new path."

Chen Xuan smiled as she looked at Artoria, who was eager to explain.

"Master, meeting you is truly the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me."

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Artoria smiled brightly, and her fondness for Chen Xuan increased once again.

"Besides, I think it's quite cute when a cute girl like Saber blushes shyly."

Seeing that Artoria wasn't getting stuck on the issue, Chen Xuan teased her.

"Master, don't say that, like 'cute' and stuff."

Upon hearing Chen Xuan say that she was cute, Artoria blushed and became shy again.

After all, she spent most of her life as King Arthur, a king devoid of personal emotions. What she heard and saw most was reverence and praise for the king. Even in her slightly more relaxed childhood, when she lived with her adoptive brother Kay, he mostly treated her like a younger brother.

Being praised as a woman gives her a strange, novel, and slightly embarrassing feeling, but she doesn't dislike it.

"Well, just stay true to yourself. Right now, you are just Artoria."

Chen Xuan smiled and patted Artoria on the shoulder.

Chen Xuan didn't dislike the feelings that Artoria was gradually showing.

After all, he was an old moon dweller in his previous life, and he knew all too well how miserable Artoria's life was when she was alive. Don't be fooled by her glorious title of King Arthur; her life was incredibly difficult.

Britain's culinary desert is a terrible place to eat, and its Knights of the Round Table are all unique individuals with eccentric personalities that would make you call them weirdos. What's more, these weirdos are all top-notch chefs.

Artoria is a stable and honest person, otherwise, any other person would not be able to handle this group of twisted and eccentric fans of the king as King Arthur. In the entire Type-Moon world, besides Artoria, only the Grand Succubus Gudako can truly tame those crazy people at the Round Table. However, Gudako herself is also a crazy person, so it is hard to say whether she tamed or assimilated them.

Artoria's life has been so hard, yet he still wanted her to have a couple of good days after becoming a Servant. He didn't expect her to become a cheerful and optimistic little girl like the Fairy Princess Caster Artoria from FGO 2.6, but at least she should live like a human being.

"By the way, Saber, can I have your scabbard here so I can take a look at it?"

Chen Xuan changed the subject and asked Artoria.

"No problem, Master. In fact, I should thank you for helping me find Avalon."

As Artoria spoke, she stroked the scabbard in Chen Xuan's hand.

"Then I'll keep this scabbard for now."

Chen Xuan thanked Artoria while holding the sword sheath.

"Teacher Chen Xuan, you're back."

As the two were talking, Rin Tohsaka's adorable voice, unique to young girls, rang out.

"Yes, I just got back. Did you and Xiaoying have a proper breakfast?"

Chen Xuan nodded, then asked.

"We all ate it, it was really delicious!"

Rin Tohsaka answered, while glancing at the scabbard in Chen Xuan's hand.

"Teacher Chen Xuan, this is..."

"This is Avalon, the scabbard of Excalibur in Saber's hand."

Chen Xuan began to explain to Rin Tohsaka.

"This is the treasure in the Arthurian legend that could have made King Arthur immune to all harm, but which King Arthur accidentally lost."

When Rin Tohsaka heard Chen Xuan say that this was the scabbard held by Artoria, she also looked at the scabbard in Chen Xuan's hand with excitement.

"Yes, I just summoned it using Saber as a medium."

Chen Xuan began to explain to Rin Tohsaka.

"Master, do you want to study and replicate the immortality properties on this?"

As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, Medea, dressed in casual clothes, walked in with Sakura and asked Chen Xuan a question.

"Although the immortality contained within it does have some research value, it's not worth making me go to such great lengths for 923."

Chen Xuan shook her head, then continued speaking.

"What I want to study is another ability contained in the scabbard."

"Master, do you mean the ability to activate a protective barrier after Avalon's true name is released?"

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Artoria reacted and spoke up.

"Yes, that's the ability I want to study."

Chen Xuan affirmed Artoria's statement.

“I see, Master. Although you are a powerful magician, your body is still human. You do need a Noble Phantasm that can protect you in battle.”

Seeing Chen Xuan's affirmation, Artoria subconsciously assumed that Chen Xuan wanted to replicate Avalon's barrier-making ability.

"Well, although I do study Avalon to create spells to protect myself, I don't intend to use them in combat."

Chen Xuan smiled upon hearing Artoria's statement and then continued to explain.

"What I want is for Avalon to have the ability to cut off and shield interference from other worlds after it sets up a barrier. After all, we still need to take precautions if we want to travel to other worlds."

"????"

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, the four people present were instantly stunned, their big eyes filled with great confusion, as if to say, "Dude, we were talking about Tataka, and suddenly you're telling me you want to play time travel?"

Chapter Sixty-Eight: The True Form of Project Zero

"Crossing?"

"Master, if I understand correctly, you mean traveling from one world to another?"

Artoria asked, somewhat incredulously.

"Yes, that's the kind of time travel."

Chen Xuan nodded.

"But isn't that something from fairy tales and science fiction? Is it really possible to do it?"

Artoria asked, puzzled.

"No, Saber, time travel is possible. The Second Magic, one of the five great magics that remain in the world, has the ability to freely travel between parallel worlds."

Medea shook her head and began to explain, but then turned to Chen Xuan and continued speaking.

"However, given Master's personality, the time travel he's talking about probably doesn't refer to this kind of parallel world travel, but rather actual travel from one world to another."

"Looks like you know quite a bit, Caster."

Chen Xuan smiled and continued speaking.

“I do want to travel from one world to another, and the ability of Saber’s sword sheath, Avalon, to cut off interference from other worlds after its true name is released is one of the security features I want to add to the travel device.”

"Teacher Chen Xuan, is it really possible for us to travel to other worlds on our own, without relying on the power of the group?"

Compared to Medea and Artoria, Rin Tohsaka was more interested in Chen Xuan's talk about time travel.

After all, the chances of these chat group members traveling to other worlds are all thanks to the chat group, and achieving travel directly through their own power is something they wouldn't even dare to dream of.

"I can do it. In fact, I've completed eighty percent of the time-travel device. However, due to some reasons, I deliberately left the remaining twenty percent untouched, but the complete blueprints for the device are in my mind."

Chen Xuan pointed to her head and said with a smile.

As early as when Chen Xuan discovered that no matter what method she researched to obtain extraordinary power, she would fail at the most crucial final step, she began to prepare an escape route.

After all, before joining the chat group, all his magical research would fail at the step of completing the spell, and his technological research would fail at the step of breaking through the concept of humanity.

For example, no matter how perfectly a spell is crafted, how correct a single rune is, or even if it has already begun to show some reaction, it will all be ruined the moment it is pieced together into a spell.

On the technological side, he can create artificial organs for any part of the body, but no matter how perfect a single organ is, it will inevitably cause problems if he tries to use it to modify a human. However, a single organ can function perfectly when transplanted into a patient.

The research directions of gene mutation and consciousness ascension are the same. No matter how smoothly he can create drugs that cure a large number of terminal diseases and devices that link consciousness to computers, he will fail once he tries to create drugs that cause gene mutation and devices that enable consciousness ascension.

Of course, Chen Xuan now knows that it was that brat Philip who did it, but before joining the chat group, Chen Xuan could only vaguely guess that there was an existence or the whole world rejecting him.

So he prepared a final escape route for himself, which was also his last trump card.

That is to use the aura of another world that all transmigrators carry to make a second transmigration, and then embark on the extraordinary path again after transmigrating to another world.

This is the true nature of the Zero Project that Chen Xuan initiated with Zero and Lucy when she went to meet Nafili and uncover the truth of the anime world.

However, due to the repeated failures of the Zero Project, it was the plan that Chen Xuan intended to use when her life was about to come to an end.

After all, even for someone with godlike talent, the idea of ​​a second time travel was an attempt full of unknowns. Moreover, he had no way of knowing what he would encounter during the journey. That's why he set the timeline when his life was about to end, because the plan itself was a high-stakes gamble.

This is why he named it Project Zero, because the experiment would only have two outcomes: either he would die during the journey and his life would return to zero, or he would successfully step into the extraordinary realm and arrive at the zero point that was the starting point from the negative number.

"But, Ms. Chen Xuan, traveling through worlds must be very dangerous, right?"

Sakura Tohsaka looked at Chen Xuan with some concern and said.

"Theoretically speaking, it is indeed very dangerous, but if I want to reach the top, then I have to do it."
