Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

Of course, in Joan of Arc's case, she might have wanted to improve her academic level, which was worrying during her lifetime.

"Here it comes, so fast!"

As soon as he appeared on the playground of Type-Moon Academy, Merlin greeted him with a smile.

Standing next to him was an old acquaintance of Jiang Li, Scathach, the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows.

"What's the matter? Why are you rushing me so much? Is Merlin going to give birth?"

Jiang Li asked the two of them.

"Ahaha, naturally you asked some unfriendly questions to me!"

Merlin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Of course we have something important to tell you. We also contacted Romulus and the other crowns, but you were the first to arrive."

Scathach took the initiative to explain to Jiang Li.

She waved her hand, and images appeared in the air.

"Look, this is what's happening around the world right now."

In the image, there is a sea of fire.

Large areas of land were engulfed in flames, and there was not a single empty spot on the entire earth.

The whole world has undergone unimaginable changes!

"Around the world?"

Looking at the images in the air, Jiang Li felt unwell.

"Scathach, you mean, the whole world is now engulfed in flames? Are there any living people out there?"

If all seven continents and eight oceans were burning now, how would ordinary people survive?

What is this singularity?

Everything was fine yesterday, why is it suddenly the end of the world today?

"There are still some living people."

At this moment, Merlin interrupted, his expression becoming very subtle.

"But even though I'm still alive, my situation is pretty tough!"

"What do you mean?"

"I'll make a model and you'll understand it immediately."

Merlin tapped his wand.

The azure magical light rippled out, forming a sphere similar to the earth in mid-air, on which the approximate positions of the ground and the ocean were simulated.

"This burning started somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean."

Merlin pointed his wand at the model of the Earth in mid-air.

As he explained, the originally blue Earth model suddenly turned red in the Atlantic Ocean.

Looking closely, that dot is clearly the symmetrical point of neon in the Western Hemisphere.

"It was clearly Oceania, but it started burning recklessly and quickly spread in all directions. After twenty hours, the world's major continents were completely engulfed in flames!"

The red color on the earth model quickly occupied more than half of the earth, covering the continents of Europe, Asia, America, etc.

"Twenty hours?"

Hearing this time, Morgan suddenly thought of something.

"Isn't that the moment when the fourth moon appears in the sky?"

"That's right!"

Merlin nodded affirmatively.

"It was last night, when the fourth moon appeared in the sky, that the Atlantic Ocean began to burn!"

It’s actually related to the fourth moon?

Jiang Li and Morgan looked at each other, and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

They had previously guessed that the appearance of the fourth moon would definitely bring about huge changes to the world, and were planning to investigate. However, they did not expect that the changes had already begun, leaving them with no time to proactively investigate!

"What about the person who was mentioned before who is still alive?"

"In the outside world, ordinary people are all dead."

Merlin shook his head, his face showing no emotion.

"The only ones still alive are the incarnated Heroic Spirits scattered across the world. After being struck by the burning, they rushed to the other side of the Earth with all their might... or rather, they were driven here."

Only the awakened heroes are still alive, and they are still being burned and chased, but their area of activity is getting smaller and smaller.

“It’s just like shrinking the circle.”

Jiang Li muttered.

"Yes, the fact is, this singularity is closing in!"

After hearing his mumbling, Merlin laughed heartily and pointed at him.

"Look carefully at this Earth model. I'm adjusting the burning boundary in real time using my clairvoyance... Did you notice that the burning was approaching Kinoko City from the very beginning?"

Several people looked carefully.

The burning range has spread to the surrounding area of the neon, and has just isolated the neon in a regular circle!

"The burning first appeared in the Atlantic Ocean. That point was exactly the symmetrical point of the neon in the Western Hemisphere. More precisely, it was the symmetrical point of Kinoko City. Then the burning advanced in all directions at a uniform speed, surging from one pole of the earth to the other. Ultimately, while destroying the entire earth, it also forced all the remaining awakened people to Kinoko City... This is probably the truth!"

Merlin spoke with a firm tone, as if it were a done deal.

"In other words, this is the real shrinking circle!"

Scathach also had an expression that was probably the same.

It seems that they had already discussed this and came up with this answer before Jiang Li and the others arrived.

"Well, it's really complicated."

Arquette rubbed the back of his head.

"So, is this also the work of that Goetia?"

"This shrinking circle is clearly a man-made phenomenon, and this singularity was originally created by Goetia. He has the ability to manipulate singularities. Plus, he has a history of incineration. This makes him very suspicious..."

Jiang Li stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

But is this possible?

Hadn't Goetia already experienced an epiphany back in the Temple of Time, understanding the significance of life's brevity? It was because of that epiphany that he became the Human King.

Then why play the trick of burning human nature again?

"May I interject a few words?"

At this moment, a strange figure appeared in front of several people.

His body was covered with patterns like the Bagua, and he was wearing a very gorgeous Chinese-style Taoist robe.

The look of always squinting eyes gives people a feeling that he is not very trustworthy.

"Oh, isn't this His Excellency Taigong Wang?"

Merlin recognized him immediately and a warm, welcoming smile spread across his face.

"I wonder what your Excellency Taigong Wang has to say?"

Is this Taigong Wang?

That Jiang Ziya?

Jiang Li looked his fellow villager up and down.

I've never seen this person before. Is he a new Heroic Spirit?

"A brilliant idea? Yes, it is indeed a brilliant idea. This is a message from Master Yuanshi Tianzun."

Taigong Wang muttered to himself for a while and nodded in agreement.

"According to Master Yuanshi Tianzun, this civilization extinction was not caused by the Beast, but the source was actually on the moon!"

"The motto of the Taoist Supreme God? This is really convincing."

Scathach nodded grimly.

"On the moon? What does that mean?"

Merlin looked confused.

"I don't know either."

Taigong Wang spread his hands in a very bachelor-like manner.

He was only responsible for bringing the message from Yuanshi Tianzun, and was not told anything else.

At present, it is still unclear what the situation is.

"Merlin, how long will it take until the burning approaches Kinoko City?"

Jiang Li decided not to care about who the real mastermind was for the time being, and instead looked at Merlin solemnly.

"Four hours at most."

Merlin had already calculated it and quickly gave the answer.

"Four hours..."

Jiang Li's heart sank.

"So, in four hours, the final battle of the UO screening ceremony will begin?"

Kinoko City is the core of this singularity.

Once the burning approaches Kinoko City, it means that the shrinking circle of this singularity has reached its limit. At that time, will the finals begin?

"I'm afraid so."

Merlin, Scathach, and Taigong Wang looked at each other and nodded affirmatively.

They could all guess this conclusion.

Obviously, this singularity has reached its end, or in other words, this singularity is finally going to play its original role!

UO screening ceremony, officially arrived at the finals!

Chapter 1273 What is above the moon?

2023-06-01

"Hoohoo, hahahahahaha! Are we finally reaching the finals? I've been waiting so long!"

Just when the atmosphere was heavy, a demonic laugh sounded from the other side.

“This laughter…”

The tense expression on Merlin's face suddenly relaxed silently.

Turning around, I saw the king with golden hair and bloodshot eyes, wearing golden armor, appearing on the playground with a very arrogant attitude.

"Jill, you are too arrogant. Everyone present here is the elite of this planet."

Next to him was a young man with long green hair that reached the ground and wearing a white robe. He was as beautiful as a doll.

"Enkidu is right, King of Heroes. With your arrogant attitude, are you sure you can become one of Earth's Ultimates?"
