You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

It can be said that without its help, saving humanity would be out of the question!

...Of course, that refers to the past.

This Chaldea is different from the one in the normal worldline, so the function of the globe is naturally different as well.

"We synchronize our [Chaldea] with the giant globes in other timelines, allowing us to keep track of their progress and decide on the next mission."

The mission objective is also very simple:

No matter what method is used, we must make Chaldea in other timelines feel the crisis and make the story of 'Fujimaru Ritsuka' and the others exciting.

Only in this way can their world not be predetermined!

You've come at the right time. There's still one worldline left that no one's interfering with... Your mission is to travel to a Holy Grail War, change its outcome and future trajectory, thereby creating a singularity that will attract Chaldea from that world to resolve it.

You don't need to contact 'Ritsuka'; you can return after the singularity forms!

"Create a singularity?" Iori stroked his chin.

He said he would help, but it was actually quite troublesome to do... He knew how to repair singularities, having done it countless times in the game in his previous life, but he was completely unfamiliar with how to create singularities.

"It's very simple, just steer things off course."

Merlin chuckled and said, "Generally speaking, the greater the deviation, the larger the singularity. And to achieve this, you need to fully utilize your imagination to disrupt the normal process."

"Imagination?"

"Let's cause trouble!"

If you say that, then I'm not sleepy anymore!

Chapter 93: I, Berserker, Susanoo!

The behind-the-scenes boss version of Chaldea's operating procedures are roughly as follows:

First, use the upgraded and modified large globe to search for "yourself" in a parallel world, and then connect with it to synchronize and back up data.

In this way, they can secretly monitor the "progress" of other Chaldea groups and see whether they have progressed to "Humanity Burning" or "Humanity Freezing".

Then, depending on the specific circumstances, assign them "main quests" or "side quests" so that their stories can always have "unexpected" events, thereby increasing the possibility that the universe will allow them to continue to exist.

Based on the experience gained by "Gudako the Unofficial Beast" after hundreds of reincarnations, it can be concluded that from Singularity F to the Fifth Singularity, Chaldea's "story" is in jeopardy. It is uncertain when the universe will determine that "there are no more possibilities" and thus subject it to censorship, that is, forcibly terminated.

But after arriving at the Sixth Singularity (Camelot), the "possibilities" will experience an explosive growth!

The seventh and final singularities that follow rarely get cut off midway and usually proceed smoothly to the next stage.

If we were to use a manga analogy, the Sixth Singularity would be like the Chunin Exams in Naruto or Enies Lobby in One Piece, pushing the story to its climax, greatly increasing its "popularity (potential)," and its influence would last for a long time before fading.

(To be honest, the battle scenes at Marineford were grand, but not as exciting as those at Enies Lobby.)

In the context of FGO, the influence of the sixth, seventh, and final singularities can extend to sub-singularities such as Shinjuku and Shimousa, so there is no need to worry about the world line being forcibly terminated during this period.

After the subspecies singularity and before the "humanity freeze," there will be a very dangerous period of "rapid convergence of possibilities," during which the chance of being pruned increases significantly.

Therefore, the period before the Fifth Singularity and after the Subspecies Singularity, which Merlin referred to as the "danger zone," is when Chaldea interferes the most in the BOSS version.

Of course, there were many periods after the "Humanity Freeze" when the world line was easily terminated, but that has nothing to do with Iori at present.

Like many shonen manga, FGO features a significant power spike in the mid-to-late game. As a "regular Servant" or "phantom spirit," Iori's role in the mid-to-late game is minimal.

Although the certain Fufu spirit is a "good conscience", he is still very reliable when it comes to doing serious business. Since Iori said that he would only "do his best", he would naturally not send Iori to the Lostbelt full of monsters.

The places he recommended Iori to go to, after the subspecies singularity, were basically some "regular" singularities.

Of course, strictly speaking, the singularity has not yet appeared. It needs to be actively created by Iori, and then the evolved version of Chaldea will transmit the data to its parallel world counterpart.

In this way, Chaldea in that worldline would "accidentally" discover a fully formed singularity.

"That's it, do you understand?"

What we're doing doesn't require any special skills, because whatever you do will change 'history,' but making it a singularity is extremely difficult.

Because if it cannot affect the overall situation, only minor changes will be automatically corrected by the corrective force of history.

Just like the German invasion of France during World War II, as long as the event of 'French surrender' is not reversed, then whether the resistance lasted forty days or fifty days makes little difference to the course of history.

Merlin immediately added after speaking, "Of course, you don't need to worry too much."

Generally speaking, creating a singularity is much easier than helping France defeat Germany.

"..."

Was that British nightmare just masturbating?

"This time you're going to just a rather lively Holy Grail War. There are no high-ranking Servants or gods appearing, and the highest combat power is still within the category of 'normal Servants.' I look forward to your performance."

"Um, how do I get there?"

Iori looked around: "Are there any teleportation pods or anything like that?"

"There's no need for such sci-fi stuff. Since it's the Holy Grail War, of course it'll be a Heroic Spirit Summoning System!"

Merlin enthusiastically led Iori to the "Servant Summoning Room," a windowless, enclosed space with a large cross shield placed in the center of the floor, surrounded by intricate and delicate magic circles—which looked very familiar to Iori.

This is probably the room where you summon Servants in the game...

However, it is not the Master who is using it now, and the demi-Servant girl can not be found around the "round table" that serves as the core of the magic circle.

"When you stand in the center of the magic circle, your body data will be automatically uploaded through reverse summoning."

This summoning circle is connected to [Chaldea] and the Spirit Particle Calculation Device. Once you activate Spirit Particle Transfer to reach the target world and use disguised data to deceive the local Greater Grail system, you can impersonate the summoned Servant and directly participate in the battle!

Okay, now stand up. We need to assess your suitability for the job first.

After all, even a phantom spirit can borrow the true name of a legitimate Heroic Spirit, provided the compatibility is sufficient.

Merlin sat down in front of an old-fashioned computer. Iori looked at the nostalgic bulky computer case and brown screen and was momentarily lost in thought.

"This is?"

"The most advanced spiritual particle computing device, you can think of it as a supercomputer, after all, whether it's forging data or transferring spiritual particles, it requires massive computing power... What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Iori shook her head and walked to the center of the magic circle as instructed, stepping on the large shield with both feet, feeling quite strange.

Back when he played the game, he always saw things from the perspective of the "Summoner," but in this second life, it's all reversed...

"By the way, before we begin, I need to ask you something—are you sure you're a phantom spirit?"

Merlin then put on a very serious expression: "Is this some kind of riddle or trickery?"

"Huh?" Iori didn't understand what he meant.

“This has happened before. Some people claim to be ‘nameless swordsmen,’ ‘ghosts of vengeance,’ or ‘fake saintesses,’ but upon examination, they are found to be true heroic spirits rather than ghostly phantoms.”

Merlin sighed: "If you are a genuine Heroic Spirit but pretend to be a Phantom Spirit, then uncontrollable accidents will occur when you forge data. If the machine malfunctions, it will be very troublesome... Lady Iori, are you sure you are really not a Heroic Spirit?"

Don't use amnesia or similar excuses—there are already enough amnesiac riddle-makers in Chaldea!

"Oh, don't worry, I'm definitely not a Heroic Spirit, and there's no record of me on the 'seat'." Iori was quite confident about this.

"That's good, let's begin!"

Merlin happily pressed the "Enter" key, and then saw a dazzling white light envelop Iori.

At first, he was all smiles, but soon the magic circle emitted a rainbow of light, and his expression immediately changed. When he turned to look at the lines of data appearing on the computer screen, he quickly let out a wail:

"No, no way! Another fraudster... Riddler, get out of Chaldea!"

Iori could no longer hear his protests, because he was also being bombarded with a bunch of information that suddenly appeared in his mind!

'Is this... the necessary knowledge for the Holy Grail to bestow? No, there's more... what is this?!'

【Berserker (Saber) - Susanoo】

Real name: Aizen Iori

Originally an unnamed heroic spirit, but the Holy Grail System cannot summon beings of god-like status, so it summoned an unnamed heroic spirit whose achievements matched the name of the war god "Susanoo-no-Mikoto," while his true form remains hidden in the mist...

Chapter 94: Revised - You think you know how to use Command Seals?!

The contract has changed!

This is an emergency. It doesn't seem to have been mentioned in the collected information on the Holy Grail War. How could a completed contract have problems?

We must figure out what the problem is!

Inside the majestic and towering castle, a young-looking but mature-looking man dressed in an elegant white suit walked briskly down the long corridor.

The servants in the castle looked up in surprise at the scene. Their master, who was usually calm and composed no matter what happened, was in such a hurry... However, they were all artificial humans who lacked curiosity. They were handsome but emotionally detached, so they only glanced at the scene before continuing their work.

The man, looking slightly nervous, arrived at the top floor of the castle, the most luxurious room, and carefully pushed open the door.

"call……"

When he saw the white-haired man sitting by the window, who still exuded a melancholy aura even bathed in the gentle moonlight, dressed in a luxurious black fur coat, the head of the family couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

He sensed the problem with the contract from the Command Seals on his hands:

The magical passage between the "Master" and the "Servant" had been completed and was running smoothly, but just now it suddenly became faint, as if it had been separated by something. One could only barely feel that the contract between oneself and the Servant still existed.

For a Master, the contract (Command Seal) is the only means to control a Servant. If the contract goes wrong, it means that the Servant cannot be controlled, which is undoubtedly fatal in the Holy Grail War!

Fortunately, after the man entered the room, the contract, which was almost gone, stabilized again, only the amount of magic power drawn increased.

This is not a big deal, after all, he is very confident in his "magic reserves" and can afford to support even five or six Servants.

The most urgent task is to figure out exactly what went wrong. The Holy Grail War is about to begin, and we cannot leave any hidden dangers.

“Your Majesty, your subject noticed something amiss and came to hear your teachings. He was too eager and did not inform you in advance. Please forgive him.”

The patriarch looks young, but he is actually close to a hundred years old. In the time that is equivalent to a normal person's lifespan, he has climbed to the top of the magician's world through his talent and skill, and developed the family, which should have been declining, into a behemoth.

Logically speaking, he should be a very proud person, but at this moment he behaved humbly, even modestly... After opening the door, he walked almost silently on the luxurious Persian carpet to approach the owner of the place.

That's right. Although he is the head of the family and theoretically the entire castle belongs to him, there is only one person in front of him... No one can compete with him for the ownership and legal rights of this land!

Entering the room is like entering the other party's kingdom; as a subject, he must maintain respect for the "king"!

"……It is you."
