Xingtie: Can’t you just let me focus on completing the commissions?

Conversely, Alicia, also voiced by her own mother, has far more lines.

There are far more of them than maids or zombies.

"Although the phrase 'pink fat woman' is enough to break Alicia's defenses, it's not really appropriate to describe a girl like that directly. We need to find an opportunity to have Mebius say it."

"I don't know what the progress is like over there. If it's in the very early stages, their understanding of the Honkai is too limited. Even if I can provide some information, they won't be able to put up any effective resistance. Only after Velvi joins, and they have a sufficient number of Divine Keys, or even a group of Fusion Warriors, will the information be valuable."

After all, he only knew about the Herrschers' abilities, and once the information was passed on, the abilities of the subsequent Herrschers might change a lot, because the "Prometheus" program was not implanted in the Cocoon of the End of the previous civilization, so there was no backdoor, and the order of the Herrschers was not completely fixed.

If preparations are made in advance and the Cocoon of the End becomes aware of it, the Herrscher's powers might undergo other changes.

"Kevin's personality began to turn dark from the Sixth Herrscher, but... that round of darkening was an important part of his growth. After that, he became the first Fusion Warrior, and only then did he have the qualifications to fight against the Honkai."

"If they get the Heavenly Judgment over there, we'll have to get the blueprints and make a few replicas to play with."

Emiya suddenly laughed again as he thought about this. If he waited until the little gray hair pulled out the Flame Spear, and then disguised himself as the white hair to create a Heavenly Fire Judgment, and then took a picture and sent it to Old Deng, Old Deng would definitely be overjoyed.

"Speaking of which, if Vervi could come here, she would definitely be able to develop more interesting equipment. She would provide the blueprints, and I would be responsible for the creation. It would be perfect."

An inventor brimming with boundless imagination and a Herrscher of Reason who can bring the inventor's boundless imagination to life!

What is the best combination?

Speaking of which, when he drew the Aurora Veil, he also picked up two Knight Cards. Since he didn't have a belt, he couldn't use them. He had stored them in his warehouse and had forgotten about them. If he had the chance, he should give them to Velvi or Black Tower to study.

If given a choice, who wouldn't want to transform in front of everyone like Miss Sam?

Among those two Rider cards is his favorite Heisei-era tassel bug suit. Who would hate the Heisei elder brother who can unleash a nuclear explosion with a single kick?

"The fact that the Godfall Sword ended up in a previous civilization suggests that even if the original world can be identified, the timeline cannot be determined."

With that said, Emiya understood why all the beacons he had thrown out had gone unnoticed. Even the Godfall Sword was only found by someone with true intelligence under extremely lucky circumstances, and that person was even willing to communicate with him.

"I wonder if Old Yang's glasses and someone's Wind Wings have drifted to their destination."

"I hope my words don't come true. What if it really is Otto who finds the glasses? Will Old Deng actually take off his glasses and start chanting the Liberation Incantation?"

"Power, belonging, ideals..."

Imagining Old Deng instantly transforming into Yang Chaoyue, Emiya couldn't help but shake his head. Then, he calmed down and focused on sensing the faint connection between his Nen and the other side.

"Nen ability is indeed an idealistic thing. Even as the user, I can't understand how my own ability works."

For most common abilities, one first gains an understanding, then conducts research, and finally engages in deep learning before making further improvements and enhancements.

Nen abilities are different. When you unleash your imagination and give it a way to run, it's like finding a line of code that works in a mountain of crap and it runs smoothly. But when you want to study that line of code... you have to face that mountain of useless code all over again.

"Currently, we can only use the method of 'big bricks flying' to make it work, and we can't operate it more precisely. So we need to increase the volume and figure out a way to get it running first."

"Right now, the daily call time is hard to exceed five minutes. It will take at least a month to gradually stabilize. As for the coordinate system capture on the other side... wait... has the Thousand Realms One Vehicle been created yet?"

Emiya suddenly thought of the existence of the second Divine Key, "Thousand Worlds One Journey". If that thing were to be put into use now, then... could the anchor point of one's own world above Thousand Worlds One Journey be used as the anchor point for the Aurora Veil to make judgments?

"I'll have to ask next time."

After organizing all the information about "Nen abilities" in his mind, he suddenly thought of the "Scarlet Eyes" he had drawn. His current Nen ability was based on linking with other people's specialized Nen, and it was not actually a Specialty-type Nen ability.

"Strengthen, operate, materialize, change, release."

"Specialized Nen only works in the areas of 'release' and 'manipulation'."

"There's still a lot of room for development in the remaining three systems..."

"How about we try materializing the 'link' target? Can we just project those people over using psychic energy?"

It seems like a viable option, it's just manually creating a spirit beast, and if we're talking about materialization... he'd rather materialize something cool.

For example, characters like Strike, Bayeri, Unicorn, Aeus, Typhon...

"When will my 'beacon' finally reach the Spirit World in Yu-Gi-Oh!?"

"...Wait, does Valhalla have any manipulation space? But how to link Nen to the 'soul' seems to be another problem."

"How about we try Himeko first?"

Thinking of Himeko Murata, who was being nurtured within him, Emiya couldn't help but start having some wicked thoughts. However, Himeko's spirituality was currently too weak, and even if the link was successful, they wouldn't be able to communicate...

"Therefore, the question returns to how to revive her intellect."

"If we could capture a 'coordinate' for a world that involves a deep realm of the soul..."

"Let me think. Besides 'Bleach,' other works in the realm of the soul that would benefit Himeko's recovery include the Soul-Soul Fruit in 'One Piece,' the cursed arts of the True Man in 'Jukai,' which also includes spirit summoning techniques... The Killing Stone in 'Ga-Rei' has a similar function, as does the 'Shikon Jewel'... and the divine artifact 'Holy Grail of the Underworld.'"

"Hmm? Wait, the Holy Grail of the Underworld... Come to think of it, winning a Holy Grail War seems far more tangible than these things."

"Oh no, it seems we've entered a vicious cycle again."

In order to study whether Servants can be summoned directly using Nen, Himeko needs to be used as a test subject.

To use Himeko as a test subject, she needs to regain her intelligence.

To restore her intellect, we must win a Holy Grail War.

and so……

Why not just obtain Servants or experimental subjects directly from the Holy Grail War?

Himeko's intelligence? (Unconcerned.jpg)

Chapter 025: Don't make unwarranted expectations of others. (1/4)

“I am Natasha, the true leader of ‘Earthfire’.”

Inside a small clinic in Rock Town, Emiya met the true leader of the Lower City, a doctor who had dedicated his entire youth to the medical care and order maintenance of the Lower City.

Like the island crow that likes to take in orphans, this woman is probably the Raven's alternate dimension counterpart. Although she did not follow the Raven's path as a mercenary, she still has an unusual passion for rescuing others.

Raven lost her parents and brother at a young age, and Natasha's experience was similar. She lost her parents and lived with her adoptive parents, but as her brother gradually went astray, she had to drive him away. After her brother completely disappeared without a trace, she felt guilty and eventually chose to leave home to pursue a path of redemption.

"We would like to purchase this 'rice bag' you manufactured."

Without much formality, this leader demonstrated the decisiveness of a frontline medical worker. Although her words were not forceful, they contained her personal will and strong intentions.

"This 'rice bag' is crucial for the Lower Town, no, for the entire Belleburg."

All it takes is imaginary energy to produce rice continuously. Although its operating logic is incomprehensible, the scarcity of arable land in Belleburg is no secret. Apart from a very small amount of bread that makes it to the market, you can rarely see fresh fruits and vegetables or unhulled grains in an average Belleburg household.

Staple food.

As a medical professional, Natasha understands the importance of carbohydrates to humans far better than most people. Nowadays, the daily diet of ordinary people in the upper city and many miners in the lower city consists mostly of grains and meal replacements mixed with a large number of unknown additives, including "antiques" that the "Earth Marrow Pioneer Group" discovered underground that have existed for an unknown period of time.

Many people have been poisoned or even died from these foods, and clean food sources are undoubtedly something that the entire Belleburg family longs for.

"What can you use to buy it?"

While Shirou could have been kind enough to give Natasha the Endless Rice Bag, the Endless Rice Bag was ultimately just a temporary fix.

"...the entire wealth of the lower city might not be enough to buy it."

Natasha's tone was not urgent, and her expression remained calm and composed, displaying the demeanor of a great general. Of course, without this composure, she would not have been able to maintain order in the entire lower city for decades.

“But I think that the reason you didn’t choose to trade with that High Warden in the Upper City must be because you have some need of us… of Beloborg.”

"Reasonable."

Emiya nodded, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

“I do have some needs from you, but it won’t be easy for you to fulfill them.”

"Please speak plainly."

"The 'Star Core,' we need to destroy or contain this thing."

Although he is strong enough to speedrun through the entire Arillow VI, speedrunning doesn't hold much value for him; he's not the kind-hearted Shirou Emiya.

Most importantly, giving gifts without adjusting the price often makes you seem too weak.

They might be grateful to you at first, but as you stop helping them unilaterally, they might turn around and hate you.

Sheng Mien, fight against Mien.

Such things are not uncommon in the memories passed down by "Emiya Shirou". Even if you lend them a helping hand, what awaits you may not be a cup of water, but a bowl of poison.

In this Yalilo VI, Little Grey must grow, and similarly, he will extend a helping hand to these people based on the system's benefit principle.

But giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish. An endless bag of rice may alleviate the pressure of food shortages, but it will never be able to save this planet covered in ice and snow.

Igor couldn't do it seven hundred years ago, nor could Alexandra Rand four hundred years ago. Cocolia's current choice to embrace the star core is actually nothing more than despair at the planet's inevitable march toward death.

Therefore,

Simply giving them food is far from enough. This is just the starting point for a prescription; the real medicine is far more complex than the food that can only be produced by a few travelers risking their lives as production tools.

On the surface, what is given is only some imaginary energy, but the conversion of imaginary energy consumes real human energy. Excessive conversion wears down life. When the entire city's production capacity is placed on the shoulders of a handful of Fate Walkers, it is no longer just food, but a real blood-soaked bun.

Even so, people like Natasha and Bronya would probably still be quite happy with it.

It is both a life-saving remedy and a deadly poison.

"A 'star core'?"

Natasha pursed her lips slightly and frowned slightly. The term was somewhat unfamiliar to her. She looked at Emiya with confusion, and he gave her an overview of the situation of the Star Core.

When she heard that the Star Core might be the true culprit behind the cold wave, yet also the "protective umbrella" that saved the world from destruction by the antimatter legion, she couldn't help but feel conflicted.

"If this thing really exists, then destroying it will dissipate this cold wave, right?"

"Yes."

"Those monsters in the ice, the so-called antimatter legion, will also awaken."

"That's right."

Natasha took a deep breath, her mind racing, weighing the pros and cons: break through the icy tide, confront the monster, or continue to eke out a living under its weight?

What to choose?

And what right does she have to make this choice on behalf of the Lower Town, or even the entire Belleburg?

"...What are your reasons for wanting to destroy the star core?"

Unable to sort out her chaotic thoughts, Natasha turned her gaze to Shirou Emiya once again, hoping to find a legitimate reason, a righteous cause, in his explanation.

"It's blocking our way."

"???"

Natasha's beautiful eyes glazed over slightly, and she was momentarily unable to react. Her lips moved slightly, but for a long time, she couldn't utter a single word.

Surprised? Or perhaps angry?

Emiya gazed silently at the leader of the earth fire, and spoke softly again.

"If I were to say that we are nameless travelers, nameless travelers on the Star Train left behind by the Star God 'Akivili,' who descended from the heavens specifically to resolve the issue of the Star Core out of pure justice."

Would you feel any better if I said that?

Emiya stared at the leader of the earth fire and continued speaking.

"The decision to make is yours, not ours. We are not from this planet, and we are simply stating our intentions and attitudes to you. Whether to cooperate or reject us is a decision that can only be made by you and the people of this planet."

"...Don't put all your hopes on others, madam."

"If you need me as your savior, you can now worship before me with the same devotion you would show to a god, and beg me to deal with the 'Star Core,' 'Dimensional Rift Creatures,' and even the 'Antimatter Legion' on this planet."

"However, the price for that is... the complete negation of the suffering and history of Yalilo VI over the past thousand years."

"There are some things I can do; but there are some things that must be done by you... by you personally."

Chapter 026: The Choice of Earthly Fire, the Response of a New Spacetime Beacon. (2/4)

Suffering is not something to be celebrated.

But it should not be forgotten or denied.

If it were just an individual's plea for help, Emiya would not hesitate to lend a helping hand, but when it comes to an entire nation, a civilization, or a planet...

If we lend a helping hand this time, will we need to be their protectors again next time?

Providing limited assistance is called support.
