Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

I feel a lingering fear, but also a sense of relief that I have survived a disaster.

Theresa belatedly responded, "Judging from the results, that person has finished dealing with the issues left over from last time and left."

"..." Tracy was silent for a moment, then asked his sister: "The last time you met him, did he express any wishes?

According to the information provided by Manfred, the Integration Movement is definitely more than just a place to provide a home for the infected.

No, to be more precise, the movement launched by Ursus will sweep across all the infected groups under the command of all forces, and ultimately affect the infected people of the entire Terra continent. That man's strength... should not be found in a single organization or force."

Simply put, what made Tracy feel unable to believe the other party's words was the attitude shown by Fan Yu.

Fan Yu was the kind of person who needed the world to adapt to his existence, rather than him building organizations and forces to adapt to the world. This was what Tracy felt was a contradiction.

Theresa listened to these words and shook her head. "I've only met that person twice, but I think the attitude he displayed is probably not what you think."

Tracy: "...Really?"

But he did have a matching image of Fan Yu in his mind.

Once upon a time, the lady who led the coalition forces to defeat their Sarkaz Royal Court was now called Kal'tsit.

However, compared to Filin, who defeated the Sarkaz 'for peace', this mysterious man was more radical both in terms of autonomy and aggressiveness.

……

Chernobyl, above.

After ending the connection between the three coordinate points of the rift and finally eliminating them from the Terra continent, Fan Yu returned to the rift he had opened up.

The pitch-black background, the dazzling golden particles and the slowly moving dark night sun boat in the sky, and the two huge pyramids standing in the distance are inverted, with the spires diagonally connected and suspended in the air, forming a glorious large complex temple.

A huge rift gap appeared in this space, and the golden particles in the sky gathered into dense silk threads, connecting one area after another, symbolizing different planes.

"The next step is to solve this last crack." Fan Yu looked ahead and thought to himself.

Having had three previous experiences, this time Fan Yu directly activated the power of the [Star Core] in his hand, using the energy drawn out by the resonance ripples to cover those plane coordinates.

Kjerag, Sami, Rainforest Sargon, and other areas flashed past Fan Yu one by one...

He ignored these for the time being.

Fan Yu was well aware that the reason the crack he had created remained in mid-air and hadn't disappeared was due to some other influence. After ruling out the coordinates of Longmen, the Iberian deep sea, and Kazdel, there was only one unknown coordinate left.

Just like when the Terra continent was connected in the "Star Iron Universe", this time it will also be connected to other areas.

What are the factors that lead to this?

It could be the characteristics it displayed at the moment of fighting the Scourge that connected it to other worlds, the Scourge's meteorites forming isotopes with other planes, or it could be the Dark Night Solar Ship or something, or even just a unilateral existence on the other side, invading Terra.

Threads of energy and light were drawn between the star cores unfolded by Fan Yu, and as time passed, they flowed to the night scene of a modern city.

Fan Yu's expression paused, and he immediately counterattacked by stepping into the light curtain. At the same time, he used the power of the star core in his hand to shatter the huge crack.

From the moment they were completely connected, Fan Yu seemed to hear a few vague voices.

There is a young girl with twin ponytails, a sinister grin from the workshop, and the arrogant and condescending disdain of the king.

Behind him, the sky of the Terra continent gradually faded away.

Instead, the perspective before my eyes began to become clearer...

A place called 'Ryudongsa'.

FATE

Chapter 1: The Relic Thief

Fuyuki.

In a deep mountain that has long been shrouded in darkness, insects chirp and birds sing.

The wind rustled, occasionally causing the swaying tree trunks to scatter a few yellowed leaves onto the soil. Tiny squirrels hurried out of the tree holes, trying to find food hidden by the fallen leaves.

Until some footsteps creaking on the leaves were heard not far from the tree trunk, the little squirrel's instinct was startled, and he immediately ran out of the bushes, abandoning his home.

"I've detected the presence of an evil spirit. That's it, right?"

"This place is very close to the spiritual vein. According to what Kotomine Risei said, it should have been protected by a barrier... Could it be that the thing in that coffin has grown to this extent?"

Two men in suits with crosses on their chests walked out from the bushes. When the second man started talking about the second half, he froze when he saw the scene in front of him.

"What's this?!"

A spiral crack emitting a dark halo appeared before their eyes. The black halo of the sun was looming, accompanied by a ray of golden light rising from it, making this jungle shrouded in darkness seem weird.

The rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves resonated with the hissing noise caused by the crack that distorted the surrounding space.

A man in a suit approached the front and couldn't help but think of some information he had investigated in Fuyuki City. It was said that the ancestors of the Tōsaka family had obtained the magic costume left by the second magician "Jewel Master". Would this cause such a change in the scene?

"No magical fluctuations are detected here."

The two men in suits felt it was extremely unreasonable. What kind of power could eliminate magic and shatter space to create a constant passage?

"There's movement."

One of them sensed the spiral distortion of space and walked out of it, and immediately took out a cross from his neck.

Before the figure inside could fully emerge, they had already finished chanting the magic formula. One of them turned the handle into a rapier and threw it towards the figure coming out of the crack, while the other one chanted and turned it into several small knives.

shhhhhh!

Ding!

Their weapons are not so much blades as they are conceptual powers constructed with spells.

"It's only been a few months. Am I being treated as an evil spirit?"

A tall young man with brown hair and golden pupils that shone brightly in the darkness, his whole body enveloped in a golden glow, slowly walked out of the crack.

His body was still stained with blood from a fight with some creature, and his hair was tangled and unwashed. In his hands, he was holding some ancient wooden boxes and ornaments, as if he had walked out of some deep mountain jungle.

The two men in suits wearing crosses were stunned when they saw him: "People?"

"We've been hiding here for so long, but we've still been found... Never mind, we're actually enemies of the Holy Church."

Fan Yu stretched out his hand, grasped a short sword made of golden energy, and slashed it forward.

Sizzle——!

A golden light flashed past, starting from the ground and drawing a horizontal line across the forest, covering all the places covered by golden energy.

The two men from the Holy Church had their bodies cut in half at the waist.

There was astonishment in their eyes as if they had seen something unbelievable before dying, and their vitality was rapidly fading away.

The crows in the dark night made a cawing sound, flapped their wings and flew away from the tree trunk, and everything returned to stillness.

Fan Yu looked down at the two corpses on the ground. The long sword condensed with golden energy in his hand instantly disintegrated into a ball of particles and rushed towards the four broken corpses. Soon their corpses turned into ashes under the extremely high temperature.

After resolving all this, Fan Yu looked down at the ancient objects in his hands. There were stone slabs, tattered sheepskin, and some jewelry...

He couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "After a few months in this world, I finally got the holy relic."

That's right—

After crossing the crack behind him from the previous world, this was actually not the first time that Fan Yu appeared here.

A month has passed since the day he arrived.

He gained some reputation, but as an outsider, he didn't understand the 'rules' set by magicians and offended some forces.

Instead, I also learned some information about this world.

The destiny corresponding to the original world, the multi-racial world of the previous world's Originium spell system, this world is a plane where magic withered in the Age of Gods and evolved into magic in the modern era.

However, in this world there are Dead Apostles, Vampires, and Mythical Beasts...

Magic, the Church... and the Holy Grail War, these are the terms he has heard frequently recently.

When he got these holy relics, he also heard that a holy relic thief student in the Clock Tower secretly escaped from the Clock Tower on a plane.

"Gulu!"

Fan Yu lowered his head and looked at his entire body: "I need to change clothes and go down the mountain."

He turned around hurriedly and stretched out his hand from the crack behind him. The dark shadow inside condensed and automatically handed out a backpack.

He changed his clothes, sorted his things, and slowly stretched out his hand.

The 'Sun Emblem' on the back of his hand resonated with a 'Golden Crystal' that caused vibration ripples to resonate around him. Its appearance distorted space and caused the cracks to gradually dissipate from the hilltop of Liudong Temple.

……

after an hour.

Shortly after Fan Yu left, two figures from the Holy Church dressed as priests followed the traces of previous church members and came here.

The old priest stared at the ground and said, "This is troublesome. Someone from the burial agency has fallen here."

The burning leaves and blood on the ground, as well as the remnants of the church's unique concept ceremonial equipment "Black Keys", all silently tell of the massacre that took place here and there was no resistance.

"They contacted us while chasing an evil spirit released from a tomb in the Middle East. Kirei, pick up their remains!"

The young priest replied, "I understand."

The two packed up their things and prepared to go down the mountain.

"The initial reason was that for the past six months, a man had been looting ruins across the country. He even went to the Clock Tower and caused quite a stir. If that area weren't so remote, I would have mistakenly thought the heretic was searching for a holy relic."

Kotomine Kirei: "Father, the Holy Grail War?"

"Indeed, the Holy Grail War is very near. I will represent the Holy Church and participate in this Holy Grail War as the supervisor.

Kirei, your teacher Tōsaka Tokiomi will definitely participate this time!"

Kotomine Kirei: “…”

"And regarding the murder of the Burial Agency members, perhaps we should ask the landlord of Fuyuki to help investigate."

Chapter 2 A Small Goal

the other side.

After Fan Yu came down from the mountain, he crossed a mountain road and came to a small town.

Fuyuki City was a region reminiscent of the small country in the Far East he remembered. It was completely different from the fortress of Yalilo VI, the apocalyptic winter that Fan Yu had previously visited, and from the continent of Terra. It lacked the upper and lower regions Fan Yu had experienced, nor did it possess the sci-fi wasteland feel of the movable cities of Terra.

At night, most of the houses in the town are lit up, and there are only a few people on the roadside, an old man who brings his granddaughter out to digest the food after dinner, and groups of office workers gathered at the door of the izakaya, making noisy noises.

The old street lights on the roadside flickered as the moths chased them.

Such a small country town makes Fan Yu feel nostalgic.

He walked along the town's road and walked into the only bed and breakfast in the town.

The hotel owner was wearing a yukata and sitting in front of the counter with a fan in her hand, looking bored. She only sat up straight when Fan Yu walked in.

"welcome."

"Please give me a room." Fan Yu took out his wallet from his pocket and put the banknotes on the table.

Over the past few months, he has used the coordinates of the [Star Core] to travel around the world for in-depth archaeological research. Except for the first time which was a bit hasty, he stored some currencies from various places for convenience.

When the proprietress saw Qian, her eyes suddenly lit up. Their town was at the foot of Yuanzang Mountain. Except for certain tourist seasons when there would be more tourists, her hotel basically had no business at other times.

Although the backpack behind Fan Yu was a little suspicious, her money ability ultimately overcame her doubts.

"Please follow me, sir. I need to register my identity."

For convenience, Fan Yu also prepared his identity in Fuyuki City and took out a work ID.

Fanyu Yao (Yang)

Occupation: Aoyama Gakuin history researcher (archaeologist)!

The proprietress glanced at the backpack Fan Yu was carrying, and finally felt relieved about the earthy smell emanating from it.

Those should be archaeological documents, right?

She took Fan Yu up to a room on the second floor and briefly introduced it to him: "This is the room. If you need dinner or cleaning on weekdays, you can call the room number and we will come to provide it.

The guests next to us are my brother-in-law and his family, and they have a child who can be a bit naughty. If you mind, I can also change... "
