Even her eyes, which had originally shown no interest in anything, gradually became excited.

"—He's going to conduct a large-scale screening to find the Ultimate One of this planet!"

Chapter 255 The Gradually Fusion of Worlds

2023-06-01

Jiang Li pondered for a moment, then was shocked.

Ultimate One.

If he remembered correctly, it should refer to the planet UO, which is the "Ultimate One" on this planet, an existence that is superior to all living things, incomparable, the supreme being, and the true strongest.

Although there are now crowns and beasts on Earth, which have greatly improved the combat power of high-level forces, this planet has indeed not yet produced a UO.

It may be because the competition is too fierce. Some people also say that Gaia, the planet's willpower, is a loser in shaping people. The reason is not clear yet.

All the currently known planets UO come from other planets in the solar system.

The most famous one is the Mercury spider.

And now, Goetia is going to conduct a big screening to select the UO of the Earth?

"It's normal for the inhibition to agree..."

After all, the Suppression Force did have the idea of creating the planet UO. It is better to say that this is a mission of the Suppression Force itself.

But isn't it a bit hasty to let Goetia handle this kind of thing?

If he were to become Earth UO, who knows what kind of trouble would arise. Maybe the Earth would be gone by then?

"No one knows what the inhibitory force is thinking."

Scathach shook her head, and then a hint of excitement appeared at the corner of her lips.

"But it's a very interesting sifting, don't you think?"

"Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is this so-called 'screening' process?"

Jiang Li raised his hand and asked the second question that concerned him deeply.

"Haven't you seen that too?"

Scathach shrugged, her eyes moving back and forth between Aoko and him for a moment.

"Heroic Spirits, True Ancestors, Magicians, Beasts... As time passes, they will all eventually appear in this singularity and begin the final competition!"

Jiang Li glanced at Aozaki Aoko beside him and became thoughtful.

That is to say-

"Will more worlds merge in next?"

"Good understanding."

Scathach nodded in approval.

That's right.

Singularities are abnormal worlds.

Because it is an abnormal world, things like integrating other world lines seem particularly normal.

Goetia's plan is to gather all the powerful beings from various world lines into one world, and then choose the final candidate from among these monsters.

No wonder Scathach became so excited. With her battle-crazed personality, being able to fight with so many high-end fighters is probably her dream.

Because of the support of the inhibitory force, he easily integrated the world line of Magician Night. In addition, due to the special nature of the singularity, no one noticed the abnormality of the world fusion.

And this is just the beginning of the screening, and more worlds will be integrated in the future.

Everything that has happened so far indeed makes sense.

"But what about the Heroic Spirits?"

Jiang Li thought of something else and continued, "I understand that Goetia was able to move them down, but why do they have no memories? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"

The Heroic Spirits were just employees after all, and as long as their superiors had the power to let them go, it was not surprising that Goetia moved them to this world.

But since we are going to conduct a large-scale screening, wouldn't it be futile to make the heroes lose their memories?

"How many heroic spirits do you think there are?"

"……I understand."

Jiang Li suddenly realized.

There are so many Heroic Spirits that one Heroic Spirit may have several different selves. If the entire Valhalla is moved down, I am afraid that this singularity will be overturned.

Therefore, a threshold must be set.

That is to say, the heroic spirits are allowed to survive in this singularity world as ordinary people, and only the part of themselves that has truly awakened is eligible to participate in the final screening.

As for those who have not awakened, just think of them as traveling.

For many heroic spirits, being able to live a second life is a very precious opportunity.

"Not just Heroic Spirits, this threshold actually applies to everyone, like Aozaki Aoko."

Scathach glanced at Aoko, who now completely didn't understand.

"Even a magician needs to awaken successfully before being eligible to participate in the selection. Fortunately, she succeeded last night."

This awakening itself is also part of the ritual and is equivalent to an elimination round.

Therefore, people who merged in from other world lines were unable to detect the abnormality of the world at first. It was only last night when Qingzi used magic and successfully broke through the shackles that they truly stepped onto the stage of this world line.

"However, this is not absolute. There are some privileged individuals who have realized the anomalies of this world from the very beginning."

Scathach pointed her fingers together and smiled inexplicably. "For example, Principal Merlin, Chairman Gilgamesh, and Romulus of the Roman Consortium... in other words, the candidates for the Crown. Of course, I am one of them."

"Perhaps in Goetia's eyes, we are already qualified to enter the official competition."

Is there such a thing?

Jiang Li was startled.

He had thought that those heroes had no memory of their past lives. Now that he thought about it, Merlin was indeed a bit suspicious before. Oh, and there was also Romulus.

When Jiang Li thought that Romulus was the real ancestor of gods, he suddenly felt overwhelmed.

How could the Crown Gun be interested in my small arms and legs?

How about breaking up with the tyrant?

But when he thought of the great connection between the black card and His Majesty the Tyrant, he felt reluctant to give it up.

"Wait a minute, after saying so much, we still haven't gotten to the point!"

Aozaki Aoko was confused for a long time, which made her so annoyed that she brushed away her messy hair.

"So what happened to Medea last night? Why did she appear there and fight with us?"

correct.

This is indeed a problem.

"You mean her?"

Scathach waved her hand, looking unconcerned.

"She's a typical example of a failed awakening. Confused by the memories of the Heroic Spirit, she ultimately lost herself and became a mere humanoid. It's understandable to think of her as a hollow shell with only her fighting instincts left."

Medea has lived in this world for more than 30 years. She has her own family, a husband, and children. It can be said that she is quite happy... probably.

The sudden awakening of the heroic spirit's memory, still of such a tragic past, successfully drove her crazy.

"Can awakening still fail?"

"Of course."

Scathach said as a matter of course: "The awakening process is a process of testing one's own ability. If you can't even awaken successfully, then of course you won't be qualified to pass the elimination round."

Is there such a thing?

Doesn't that mean that as the final screening approaches, more and more heroic spirits will begin to awaken?

And among those heroic spirits, there will be endless examples of failed awakenings?

Jiang Li thought of his mother Minamoto no Raikou and his sister Okita Souji.

In terms of ability, leaving aside Minamoto no Raikou, Souji is definitely not that great... Will she also fail in awakening?

Chapter 256 Everything Will Disappear

2023-06-01

Wait, then who am I?

Jiang Li suddenly thought of himself.

He is not a heroic spirit, nor a magician or a True Ancestor. He is simply an ordinary person. According to the setting of this singularity, he should be one of the NPCs.

Does this mean that the NPC has awakened itself and is now competing with the other players?

Would Goetia allow someone like him to barge in?

Judging from the fact that he didn't do anything to me last time in the health room, I should be fine, right?

Jiang Li's mind was full of random thoughts and he scared himself.

"That's about it. If you understand everything, please leave now."

Scathach waved her hand and began to order them to leave.

"alright."

Jiang Li nodded and turned to leave the office.

"Wait a minute, I have another question."

But Qingzi suddenly spoke, his expression slightly tense.

"Just now you said this is a singularity. I understand the concept, but I want to ask... what will happen after everything is over?"

"what do you mean?"

"Of course it's this world. It's a singularity after all, right?"

Aozaki Aoko put one hand on her waist, and although her tone was respectful, her words were filled with a sense of urgency.

"Also, what will become of these merged worlds in the end?"

The atmosphere in the room cooled down for a moment.

Jiang Li was stunned at first, then he thought of something and his expression became gloomy.

That's right.

There is one biggest problem.

Once the screening is complete, where will this singularity go?

Where will the people and heroic spirits who live here eventually go?

"Of course it will disappear. Nothing will be left."

Scathach gave the answer that Jiang Li least wanted to hear.

"Just like Aozaki said, this place is a singularity after all. Once it has no value in existence, it will of course be repaired. Everything will disappear, and no trace will be left."

Jiang Li's heart suddenly sank.

Any singularities will be fixed.

The reason why this singularity can exist is because the inhibitory force wants to use it to filter out UO, so it specifically allows its existence.

Then when UO is screened out, or the screening fails, the value of this singularity will disappear, it will become unnecessary to exist, and it will naturally be repaired.

Thus.
