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

"Hmm? Why did you specifically ask me to do this?"

"Because you are very capable... Also, the moment I met you, I sensed that you were a kind and helpful person."

"Of course, I won't treat you unfairly. As long as you can help eliminate the antimatter army inside the space station and protect some maintenance personnel to enter the lost module for repair work, I will prepare at least one billion credits for you after the commission is completed."

"Believe it or not, there's no... um? How much?"

"A billion."

"Go through fire and water, Station Chief Ai!"

You've received a new commission!

[Battlefield Cleanup (Client: Estelle): Eliminate all remaining antimatter Legion monsters within the space station and ensure maintenance personnel repair all lost modules.]

Reward: 400 points + 1 random card pool draw

Difficulty: 2 stars

"It's actually a two-star mission, and there's some big treasure hidden inside the space station?"

Emiya scrolled through the map of the lost modules sent by Estella. Currently, there are still about thirteen lost zones within the entire space station. Monitoring methods are blocked, making observation impossible. The defense staff suffered significant losses in the previous antimatter invasion, and there are not many available personnel. Moreover, the space station's defense department doesn't have any particularly strong or skilled individuals to begin with.

Who has the best skills to work as a security guard at a research institute every day?

Moreover, this research institution is under the command of the Intellectual Commander. Who would dare to attack this place if they weren't afraid of death?

A large number of the defense personnel on the space station were transferred from the Interstellar Peace Corporation. Their strength level is enough to bully ordinary people who have not embarked on their destiny, but if they were to clean up the remaining antimatter legion on the entire space station, they would probably all have to write their wills before going to the battlefield.

[Zhao Camera: Emiya, I heard you took on a mission to the space station? Do you need my help?]

While waiting for the logistics and maintenance staff to arrive at the assembly point, Little Pink Hair suddenly sent him a message.

[I can really pole vault: Aren't you guys investigating other incidents?]

[Zhao Camera: This girl's actions are naturally a piece of cake. Ah Xing and I have already captured the thing that infiltrated the space station. It's called an Alien Water Demon, capable of transforming into other people's appearances, but it still can't escape this girl's discerning eyes!]

[I'm really good at pole vaulting: Sparrow, I, Shirou Emiya, acknowledge your discerning eye.]

After all, she could see at a glance that Dan Heng had hidden power, and she was certain that Ting Yun, who appeared in front of her, was the woman behind the scenes.

Before entering any new map, you definitely need to memorize Mitsuki's lines in advance. Emiya-sensei knows only a limited amount of the plot, so when a relatively unfamiliar dungeon appears in the future, let this woman heal you a bit first, and the basic tone of things will be stabilized.

Words like "rivers of blood," "family members turning against each other," "separation by death," and "family ruin" flowed effortlessly from this girl's mouth, as if her words were law.

[Zhao Camera: I'm a little embarrassed by such direct praise. Don't worry, with me and Ah Xing helping you complete the mission, it will definitely go smoothly. Besides, with your strength, Emiya, as long as there's no situation like the second Doomsday Beast, there won't be any problems.]

Well, is this the difficulty of two stars?

Emiya stroked his chin. He had been wondering how some cannon fodder could possibly mess with him, the current Herrscher of Reason. But now, after hearing March 7's prediction, he felt reassured.

“There is no second Doomsday Beast in Elio’s script. It seems that their scripts are not omnipotent after all.”

Or perhaps the other party didn't mention what would happen after the script was completed?

However, these are insignificant; it's just a hidden doomsday beast, which can be dealt with by simply blasting it in the face with its beam cannon.

Speaking of which, it just so happens that I acquired such a useful ability, and now I've also come across such a practical punching bag!

Wow! What a wonderfully coincidental situation!

[I'm really good at pole vaulting: Come on over if you want, I can't wait!]

[Zhao Camera: Your tone is weird... Don't let this backfire, or I and Ah Xing will be the ones suffering! If some hidden boss really appears, I'll be the first to run away!]

[I'm really good at pole vaulting: Little Three Months, watch what you eat, if you keep breastfeeding, I really can't take it anymore.]

Chapter 010: A teacher is one who imparts knowledge, teaches skills, and resolves doubts. (2/4)

Antimatter Legion

Or, to put it another way, they are "the minions of destruction".

Although Nanuk, the destroyer of the star gods, is the youngest among them, his influence in the star sea is now enough to make him a leading figure.

The "War Forge," a weapon of war created by Nanook at some unknown time, shaped the "Assault Group," the backbone of the Antimatter Legion.

Its name is Xu Zu.

The Firesmiths are a group created from the remains of battle-hardened warriors and wild, untamed ancient beasts. They can roam the battlefield without a care in the world simply by obeying their instinct for destruction.

For other star god groups, the "intellectual" aspects of the executive group might also need to be considered.

But destruction is unnecessary. The antimatter legion is a group that regards the concept of civilization, which can only be built by an intellectual group, as something that must be destroyed. Therefore, a single-threaded execution strategy is sufficient for these mass-produced weapons of war.

Like the locust plague of the past, the Void Soldiers born from the crucible of war, under the control of the Annihilation Lord, swept across one inhabited planet after another, ruthlessly ravaging all civilizations, even those that were just beginning to emerge from the Stone Age or those that had not yet formed a language.

The strength of the Void Soldiers is actually not weak. Even the lowest-ranking Raiders and Erasers have extremely superior individual combat capabilities. It is difficult for anyone who has not yet embarked on the Path of Fate to defeat them alone, even if they are equipped with kinetic, electromagnetic, or beam weapons. It would take at least a team of dozens of people to launch a joint attack.

However, since the antimatter legion is named after a legion, it naturally focuses on group combat. The "Raiders," "Erasers," "Tamperers," and "Tramplers"—these virtual soldiers have already formed a complete lineup.

For a pre-nuclear civilization, the threat posed by these simple teams of pawns is no less than that of a division.

of course……

As the saying goes, "At thirty, one stands firm; at forty, one is free from doubt; and at fifty, one knows the mandate of Heaven."

"They would need at least thirty divisions to be worthy of my standing up and beating them."

"Send forty divisions, and I can make sure they all die knowing why, without any doubts."

"Fifty divisions, I will show them who the true destiny is."

While projecting numerous Noble Phantasms to annihilate the illusory soldiers, Mr. Emiya earnestly began to explain the ancient culture of Earth to March Seven and the stars.

"Then there's the saying, 'At sixty, one's ears are attuned to the truth; at seventy, one can follow one's heart's desires.' Ah Xing, can you explain what this means?"

Upon hearing this, the little gray-haired boy hesitated for a moment, and then replied with great certainty,

"Sixty divisions are to be sent. They must be beaten into obedience to any order they receive!"

"Only if seventy divisions come can I truly unleash my full power and beat them at will."

“Good, this child is teachable.”

Mr. Emiya gave the little gray-haired boy an approving look, and the little gray-haired boy also showed a 'shy' expression, as if he felt he was not worthy of praise. The little pink-haired boy next to him watched the interaction between the brother and sister with a blank expression, and said in a hollow voice,

"I don't think this statement should be interpreted in this way at all."

"It's okay, everyone has their own understanding, that's normal."

"Ah Xing, you must not learn bad things from this guy."

"rest assured."

Little Gray gave March 7th a confident look, and then calmly replied,

"It's like I already had these things stored in my brain, so I didn't need to learn them at all."

"Emiya, promise me you'll never become a teacher."

"Actually, I feel that I have quite a talent for becoming a people's teacher."

Amidst laughter and chatter, the dozens of dummy soldiers inside the compartment were defeated. The maintenance personnel following behind Emiya quickly entered the compartment to check the integrity of the equipment. After about ten minutes, Alan from the Defense Department came forward and explained the situation to Emiya.

"Communications have been restored to normal in this compartment. There are only four compartments left. We will continue to trouble you, Mr. Emiya."

"I've been entrusted with this task, so I must be loyal to it. However, I have a feeling that something might happen in the back cabin. If any problems arise, please move away as soon as possible, as I may not be able to take care of you."

"...A premonition?"

Alan's expression was somewhat serious. The premonitions of a traveler embarking on a destiny journey are by no means unfounded, but rather a kind of extrasensory perception generated after interacting with the energy of the imaginary number. It cannot be said to be predicting the future, but the ability to warn of danger, which many animals possess, is naturally something that a traveler on a destiny journey can also do.

"I understand. We will take good care of the other staff members. Please be careful yourself as well."

Mr. Emiya nodded, glancing at March 7 out of the corner of his eye. As long as this girl didn't cause any more new situations with her 'words becoming law', he could handle anything, whether it was a doomsday beast or a hidden boss, as long as it wasn't at the level of a Commander. But if it really was at the level of a Commander…

Although he couldn't kill the opponent outright, if he was determined to protect himself or escape, the opponent couldn't stop him. At worst, he could activate the Aurora Veil and run away with everyone.

"Could there really be some hidden 'Great Lord of Annihilation'?"

Although he was confident in facing those envoys, Emiya couldn't help but have some doubts. Logically speaking, the space station was the territory protected by the Black Tower. The true form of the Black Tower, who had met with the Venerable Master of Wisdom twice, should be the envoy of Wisdom. It seemed a bit too absurd that a Lord of Annihilation would personally come to the space station just because of the losses of some Void Soldiers and Doomsday Beasts.

"Burning Wind, Star Howl, Iron Tomb, Illusion... I don't know the names of the remaining ones."

"Huanlong should be planning things on the Immortal Ship right now. If Fenfeng makes a move, it will definitely be a powerful attack. Xingxiao usually acts as the vanguard general... Only Tiemu, according to the data... likes to attack high-tech civilizations the most."

Emiya pondered the enemies that might appear inside the space station, and then moved toward the remaining compartments without much hesitation. Although March Seven's ability to predict the future was outstanding, it was not an absolute certainty.

As they swept through the remaining compartments, before reaching the second-to-last one, Emiya began to sense that the imaginary energy within was unusually potent. He immediately signaled for the others to move away. As he slowly extended his magical perception into the interior of the compartment, after a moment, he glanced back at March Seven and whispered...

"It's a good thing you only mentioned the Doomsday Beast."

"What do you mean?"

March 7th didn't react for a moment, tilting her head blankly, her pretty eyes filled with clear naiveté. Ah Xing understood what Emiya meant, gently patted March 7th's shoulder, and then spoke seriously.

"March, this is my lifelong request, can you say one thing to me?"

"What?"

"They say I, Ah Xing, am destined never to win the maximum prize in the Star Lottery."

Chapter 011: Historically, the left side of a matchup has always lost, except for that pig Dynamo. (3/4)

excellent.

Seeing the little gray hair that managed to squeeze in wherever it was, Mr. Emiya couldn't help but give a thumbs up. This reverse approach was definitely worth trying.

Seeing the eagerness in Emiya's expression, Mitsuki remained silent for a moment before belatedly realizing what was happening. She then spoke angrily.

"I'm not a jinx!"

"Then how do you explain the reaction that there is indeed a doomsday beast inside?"

Pushing open the cabin door, Emiya casually projected the Sevenfold Heavenly Covering Ring to block dozens of imaginary particle cannons shooting out from inside the cabin, and then turned his gaze to the pitch-black sphere at the very center of the cabin.

The suspected doomsday beast-level reaction emanated from that pitch-black sphere.

As the jet-black sphere slowly rotated, gradually revealing the core of the Doomsday Beast, March 7's expression completely froze.

"How come there's really a second one?!"

"How could there really be a second one? Interesting question."

A response suddenly came from the core of the Doomsday Beast, a cold voice devoid of emotion, like that of an AI.

"Although it was only a spur-of-the-moment decision, the fact that this core was placed here should only be known to me."

"But...you seem to have sensed it beforehand, haven't you, Nameless Guests?"

The jet-black sphere kept spinning, and the energy level of the imaginary energy kept increasing. From the core, the limbs and bones of the Doomsday Beast rapidly extended out, and the behemoth, capable of destroying planets, quickly transformed into a ferocious form in full view of everyone.

Could you please answer my question?

The behemoth, which should have been driven solely by destructive instincts, was now standing upright on both legs, like a primate, and was voicing questions like a human.

"This core was originally intended as a 'gift' to be placed here as a token of our respect to the Black Tower."

Emiya listened to the voice emanating from the Doom Beast's body, silently pondering its origin. But before he could reach a conclusion, the voice spoke again.

"Since the anonymous guests have discovered this 'gift' ahead of time, please inspect it first."

Having said that, a massive amount of imaginary energy began to gather within the core of the Doomsday Beast's chest. Its energy level rapidly increased within seconds. As this terrifying imaginary energy converged, the surrounding air currents were swept up and began to weave together in a pale blue stream of light.

"So enthusiastic upon meeting?"

Seeing the terrifying amount of imaginary energy gathered there, Mr. Emiya raised an eyebrow slightly, then couldn't help but laugh.

"But I'm standing on the right now, how dare you shoot at me?"

As he spoke, a golden holy sword suddenly appeared in his hand. Although Noble Phantasms in the Type-Moon world are divided into different levels based on their legendary status, Star-made and God-made weapons are divine artifacts that accomplish great deeds without the benefit of legendary status, unlike those items that are elevated to Noble Phantasms after death.

This star-forged weapon, crafted with the finest forging techniques of the elves, was wielded by an unnamed swordsman even before King Arthur was born, and fought against the "White Giant Sephalus," a star warrior whom even the twelve Olympian machines could not match.

If it is simply "a crystallization sublimated from legend", then after cutting off the part that belongs only to the planet's record tape, what remains is nothing more than extremely ordinary sword metal, or even just a wooden bow and a pair of ordinary revolvers.

But what appeared in Emiya's hands at this moment was not the "gravel" built up by his great achievements, but the real "Star Sword".

"This is the battle to save the world—!"
