They've already fought their way through the Holy Grail War, and you still call them dragons?

In the FGO crossover plot, Mooncell calculated that Sesshōin in this world line was about to transform into a beast, so BB was thrown by Mooncell to solve the problem of Seraphix, an offshore oil field. Although the problem was successfully solved in the end, many servants were tormented by BB's bad temper in the middle.

However, according to the strange developments of this world, Emiya has reservations about whether her true origin is from Mooncell. Her appearance is obviously related to the mysterious boss of the trio...

"Aiya~, you humans are still panicking like ants that have been suddenly attacked!"

BB's voice echoed across mobile phones, the radio, the main hall monitors, and even the screens in other cabins. "You all, despite thousands of years, haven't made any progress. It's truly amazing! Even the evil BB-kun can't hide his sympathy!"

The opening was a greeting that contained sarcasm and malicious intent.

"Ah, a tree branch killing people, a ship blockading, and no contact with the outside world... I'm sure you're all still confused about your situation. Since I can't bear to see humans humiliated, let the great BB-kun help explain your desperate plight!"

The kid on the screen held a pointer and tapped the "blackboard" next to him, and suddenly an image of the outside world popped up on the blackboard.

"Ding ding ding, pay attention, this is the YAMAL ship you are on, but can it really still be called a ship now? Hehehe——"

Emiya looked at the image BB was showing. Although he didn't know how she obtained the images from the outside world, this scene didn't look fake at all...

The YAMAL's steel hull was supposed to be short and wide, with a pointed bow. But now, countless plates had cracked, and blood-red branches sprouted from them, spreading into the surrounding seawater.

Overall, it has completely lost the shape of a ship and has become like a huge tree that grows and dives rapidly.

The thick trunk and lush branches and leaves extend from one end of the screen to the other. It's a pity that the angle of the image cannot be adjusted finely, otherwise Emiya could estimate the current size of the World Tree and its "cultivation progress."

"It feels incredible, doesn't it? This is the end of the YAMAL!"

BB declared the most ruthless verdict in the most cheerful and relaxed tone, "Based on the current diving speed, in less than two hours at most, the 'YAMAL' will reach its final destination - the 'Hatchery'."

"To be precise, the World Tree will use this YAMAL as its main body, grow three roots extending downward, and eventually implant itself in the remains of the Great Supreme Being, completing the ritual of rebirth and welcoming the day of destruction!"

"That is to say, at that time, you humans will face your own defeat and the destruction of the world!"

“…” Everyone seemed to be shocked and shaken by this incredible expression, unable to recover for a moment.

For some ordinary people, they clearly feel that they have just encountered an ordinary maritime accident. Although it is troublesome, it is not hopeless! It is clear that as long as a period of time passes, they will be able to welcome external rescue!

"There won't be any help!"

BB announced loudly, "Humanity, please quickly abandon your illusions and accept reality. That's right, the current loss of contact with the outside world isn't just a routine communication loss; it's a 'physical loss' that scares even human civilization!"

Physical loss of contact?

Emiya frowned. BB seemed to be talking about the problem of tree branch erosion, but upon closer thought, "terrifying even human civilization" seemed to mean something else.

"But, but, dear Devil Baby, I can't bear to see you all give up completely out of despair, so I'm going to reveal a piece of extremely good news here—"

BB used a pointer to write the number "1:100" in the air.

"Due to the 'computerized' time generated on this ship, there's a staggering discrepancy in information density between the interior and exterior of the ship, resulting in a difference in the speed of time. For those of you who don't understand, please study Shannon's theory. In short, time here flows 100 times slower than outside."

"Desperate people who wish for the end of the world to come, please put aside your thoughts of rebellion. You still have more than a week to wait, so be patient!"

"As for the survivors who still intend to live, please stay put in the happy game that begins. Maybe you can survive and see the light of the outside world~"

Does this look like good news?

It's not like that at all. It's more like a state where the death penalty has been changed from "immediate execution" to "delayed execution", with an extra long period of time that torments people's mentality.

In short, BB made a bunch of declarations that would make most people despair or feel lost, and then disappeared from the screens with a soft hum.

Most of the screen images switched from the pink and purple "BB Channel Live Room" to an inky black countdown pattern, constantly reminding everyone that the Doomsday Judgment is getting closer.

The dark background of the countdown was faintly glowing, flowing and outlining lines on the empty screen space, gradually drawing the beautiful handwritten word "NIDHOGG".

----

BB disappeared from the other screens, but not from Emiya's phone. Emiya looked at the girlish pink still flickering on the phone screen and wondered if her true form was actually living inside.

"Why should we let these survivors know? BB, they can't play any role in resolving the situation. Even if we tell them the details, it will only exacerbate the chaos!"

Emiya held his phone in his hand and glanced around from the corner. He found that a few people had started to cause trouble, perhaps to escape reality or because of a mental breakdown. However, they were quickly punished by Helver from the maid group.

Even the trainee agent Su Xiaoqiang could easily suppress the troublemakers.

Fortunately, it can be suppressed for the time being.

But there is still at least a full week left, and it is hard to say whether other problems will arise. The situation must be resolved as soon as possible within this week.

"Hey, BB-kun is kindly reminding the innocent audience. After all, they have the right to know. Think about it, if you don't tell them the details, then even if the situation is resolved, they will remain indifferent and won't be grateful, right?"

"But BB-kun stirred everyone's emotions right from the start! He got everyone out of their limbo and into full action, letting them simultaneously feel the wonderful atmosphere of the impending doomsday, completing the foreshadowing of 'uplifting first, then downplaying'! In the end! They'll be filled with gratitude and admiration for the hero who bravely stepped forward and handsomely resolved the crisis!"

The baby in the phone was jumping up and down, and the plump waves were shaking exaggeratedly. "Senior, senior, this drama is the opening line I carefully designed. I didn't expect that you didn't understand the good intentions of the baby at all. I'm so sad~"

"...So there's such a consideration? Well, thank you!"

What a good way to praise by first criticizing!

This is literally a case of first suppressing and then raising the spirits! - First you push people into deep depression, then at the last moment you pull them back to give them hope and a positive outlook, creating a roller-coaster ride of dramatic contrasts.

Although Emiya initially felt that there was some truth to this after careful consideration, considering the actual situation, he was afraid that BB's real purpose was to enjoy himself and watch everyone's despair and painful struggle.

"By the way, you should also introduce your origins, right? Don't tell me you are an AI from the moon?"

"Eh? Senior, why do you think so? With your average human technology, I'm afraid we won't be able to complete large-scale lunar development even in 30 years! If we use alchemy, that's another matter, but you humans generally don't cooperate to this extent."

BB scoffed at this idea:

"Or do you think there's some super-ancient sci-fi equipment placed by aliens on the moon? Hmph, that's not a bad idea. I'd think that beneath your serious exterior, you might actually be hiding a childlike, dreamy personality."

When he said this, BB raised his head slightly, and placed his slender white fingertips in front of his chin, "Hehe, it's really cute~!"

"Hey, don't change the subject!"

Emiya held up his phone and shook it a few times.

"Ouch! What are you doing!?"

BB actually slipped and fell to the ground in the pink live broadcast room on the screen. His long purple hair that fell to his calves suddenly spread out in a mess, and the soft waves seemed to be swaying like mountains. This demon-type junior actually covered his face and cried:

"So sad, so sad! My senior whom I just met treated my lovely baby-kiss so roughly! Baby-kisss is so disillusioned!"

"Feel sorry--"

Emiya subconsciously put down his phone, but then he felt that BB was acting to gain sympathy. He secretly reminded himself not to let his guard down and take BB's sugar-coated bullets. "You are the help sent by the boss, right?"

"Hey, hey, that's exactly what I'm saying. As to why BB-kun can be as greedy as a girl, as cold as an angel, and as pure as a devil, the answer is of course—"

"BB-chan was perfectly created as the much-anticipated heroine, her personality data integrated and customized from over 100 million different types of girls worldwide!"

"As for logical thinking, emotional intelligence, and super AI cheating skills, I have to thank a certain unnamed little devil boss, the King of Alchemy, and a certain EVA sister who wanted to keep the information hidden for their unwavering support!"

"Clang clang! The long and boring STAFF broadcast segment has come to an end! Thank you all for listening and supporting us! Friends who want to support the lovely and charming BB, please remember to like, follow and give us a lot of tips!"

"...?" Emiya's eyes widened for a moment, his lips moving. "Why did you suddenly start the commercial segment? I want to skip it!"

"Hi, senior, you're a super VIP user and enjoy ad-free service! Now there's a super benefit. If you're interested, would you like to try it out?"

Emiya half-closed his eyes, "Oh, go ahead. I'm listening."

BB stretched out his slender fingers and said with a grin:

"The answer is a computer space resource gift pack! Click to claim it for free, allowing you to upgrade the God Slayer template to 2.0, chop down the World Tree to interrupt the Black King's resurrection match, and speedrun this YAMAL level with ease!"

"Then may I ask, where should I click to claim this great benefit?"

Emiya stared at the BB with her plump figure swaying on the screen. It couldn't be you, right?

Chapter 275: World Tree? Imagination Tree!

"Oh my, that's too much! Although you're the type who can tolerate kisses, after all—this is just our first meeting. Before we've had some interaction and contact, any overly intimate interactions are definitely not okay~!"

BB crossed her arms in front of her huge chest, made a big cross, and then said.

"Actually, as an AI with capabilities surpassing those of humans, BB naturally possesses a unique secret method for obtaining experience packs for seniors. If you want to obtain them quickly, go find the key figure in this main hall~"

"Ding! Exploration mission released. Requirements: The joyful new Electronic Holy Grail War has begun! This out-of-control Holy Grail War has been shrouded in mystery from the very beginning. Quickly find a key figure who can dispel the fog of war..."

Emiya didn't intend to respond. Although he was curious whether BB had learned the tricks of acting as the "system" in online novels after connecting to the Internet, playing games with BB right now was a waste of time.

He acted decisively and shook his phone.

"Ouch!"

"I'm too lazy to look for it. Just tell me who it is. This place is generally populated by outsiders who have nothing to do with the Holy Grail War. Those hidden among the tourists are basically those who refused to participate. Besides Valkyrie Slud, it's probably Rigidreve, right?"

"Wow, Senior isn't some idiot who's easy to tease!" BB pretended to wipe the non-existent tears from her eyes. "Okay, okay, it's that innocent, confused, simple, and pitiful little clone girl, Miss Reggie Reeves!"

----

"grandmother……"

Regislove covered her head with her hands, her smooth white hair hanging down from her forehead. She felt that her mind had become a little dazed after going to the computer space below the deck.

Perhaps it's not simply Emiya's concern that "humanity will dissolve into cyberspace."

But for some other reason.

She didn't know why, but she couldn't help but recall the image of Grandma Maria's gentle smile in her mind.

When Reggie Love was little, she vaguely remembered her grandmother, her hair gray but still beautiful, holding her hand and telling her stories about the outside world... There were lions and elephants, black and white bears, towering trees in the forest, and endless yellow sand deserts...

However, when Regislove came into contact with the outside world, she did not encounter these things. She only saw the devastated earth, the destroyed city blocks, the dangerous and terrifying Holy Grail War, and the power of the gods that was comparable to that of heaven.

The world is not a good place.

The only good thing was that he had stood on the side of the most powerful godslayer in the world in time.

Reggie Reeves still remembers that when her grandmother realized that she was planning to leave the YAMAL and escape to the outside world, she took her hand and said, "Live a good life, but don't love others and don't expect to be loved."

Grandma Maria had been deeply hurt by wrong relationships in her life, and she didn't want her children to repeat the same mistakes.

"But, grandmother..." Rijireve raised her head and looked at the magnificent candlelight and feasting in front of her. In a trance, she saw the red-haired godslayer who exerted the power of heaven with human power.

Grandma, if I don't fall in love with him, or if I prevent him from falling in love with me... can I really live happily in this increasingly dangerous world?

"You seem to be worried about something."

Slude beside her woke her up with a clear voice.

"Yes, I haven't been in good spirits since I came back..." In fact, Reggie Reeves had a certain avoidance mentality towards this real Valkyrie.

She knew that her grandmother's clones had no names...their so-called real names were just numbers, but Vincent had given them codenames like the names of the Valkyries, such as Helver and Orluun, and herself, Ridgelev.

In other words, Regis is just a mortal who stole the name of a real Valkyrie, and she feels that her existence constitutes an offense to the Valkyries.

As a Valkyrie, Slude could sense Regisleve's declining mood swings from a close distance. "...You seem to feel guilty about taking up the name of Valkyrie."

"Yes." Ridgeleve tilted her head. "Although I learned ancient martial arts on this ship, Miss Valkyrie knows that this level is far from the level of a Valkyrie..."

Slude shook his head. "If you truly possess the heart of a warrior, you will be worthy of such a title... We Valkyries are merely tools, machines chasing the spirit of a warrior."

"Eh?" Regirev didn't expect that Slude didn't take his own reputation very seriously, and even sounded a little confused.

"You'll understand... and here he comes."

Slude said that she gradually felt the difference between those humans and herself. They could live for various purposes and meanings. The girl was stumbling in search of her future life direction, while the brave warrior named Emiya was obviously not lost in his continuous improvement and forging ahead.

Her crimson eyes looked at Emiya's approaching figure, and she once again thought of her elder sister Brunhilde who fell in love with Sigurd. Perhaps it was because of love that her elder sister gained new meaning for herself... Although in the eyes of the Valkyries at the time, this was a terrible incident of Valkyrie losing control.

After being reminded by Slude, Reggiereve finally noticed that Emiya's figure suddenly appeared beside her. She was startled and wanted to stand up to thank Emiya for his care along the way, but she found that the other party strangely stretched out his hand and stroked her silver-haired head.

"...BB, are you sure this will actually collect wavelength data? And isn't this just a prank?"

Emiya spoke into his phone. Although he hadn't been tricked by BB so far, but—

A Sigma man will never be fooled by a woman's evil schemes!

"Hey, Emiya-senpai, don't be so anxious. After all, we don't have an external speaker right now. To prevent wear and tear over time, this small phone can't withstand any excessive manipulation, so we'll have to be a little more patient..."

Reggie Reeves heard a female voice that didn't sound like a good person constantly playing from Emiya's phone.

"Please, Senior, please follow the instructions and manually sample the wavelength data of this Miss Regisleve. This way, this AI can more accurately simulate the wavelength of her soul. Specifically..."

"Start by gently stroking the head, keeping your hand in the direction of the hair. Start with the top of the head, then gently knead the face, touching the entire head without any blind spots~"

Emiya apologized to Reggie Reve and reached out his hand hesitantly. The latter didn't understand what was going on, and because she didn't dare to resist, she had to accept it with a slightly blushing face, and almost closed her eyes out of nervousness.

Then, Regisleve heard the voice continue, "Next is the neck and shoulders. Please continue from here, then reach into her chest and weigh it carefully—"

"Hey! Nothing seems right here. Doesn't the method you're asking for require a full body scan? ...This manual mode is too demanding. Is there a simpler, more convenient way?"

When Emiya subconsciously reached down, he saw that Regisleve's face was so red that it looked like blood was about to bleed, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Oh... what a shame~, congratulations, senior, for successfully seeing through the great devil BB-kun's little prank again! Actually, to scan, you just point your phone at this lady and take a picture, but BB-kun thought that manual mode would make your movements and reactions very interesting~!"

"...If you keep doing this, be careful. Sooner or later, the boat will capsize and you will get yourself into trouble." Emiya said this intentionally or unintentionally, but he estimated that such a warning would not have any effect on BB.
