Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

102. I can no longer distinguish between love and hate. Is this the case?

‘Magic Marshal’ – Kishua Zerrich Shobein Ogu.

Commonly known as [Jewel Man], a transcendent who has unified himself in infinite parallel worlds into one and has mastered the power of 'law' can extract magic power by connecting parallel worlds. Because parallel worlds are infinite, Gem Man's There is no upper limit to power.

Why doesn't such a powerful boss come to the rescue in the face of the current human crisis?

In fact, the logic here can also be directly applied to those heroic spirits who, although they have appeared in the world, have no intention of saving human nature, and often even become accomplices in destroying human nature.

From the perspective of people like the Gemstones and Heroic Spirits who transcend the timeline world line, the so-called human crisis is just one of many world lines. Because parallel worlds are infinite, the world lines that encounter human crisis are also Infinite - especially for those heroic spirits who hold huge power in front of them and view the world in a completely different way. This difference is particularly obvious.

Those who have no moral integrity do nothing but do what they want to do, while those who are a little more moral will act for whomever is summoned. There are only a few heroic spirits who will truly unconditionally save the world for the sake of saving the world.

The representative of the former was the First Emperor, and the representative of the latter was Charlemagne.

This is not to say that you are scorning or degrading. For example, if you gave the history of the Magic Jin Book Catalog to the First Emperor to read, if it were not for being restrained by the summoning spell, the First Emperor would definitely declare the defeat of human intelligence on the spot and then himself to reshape history.

This is the situation of most heroic spirits. Charlemagne's fantasy paladin emperor is rare.

The same is true for the Demon Marshal.

But there are always exceptions to everything.

Because Gemstone Man has completed the 'unification' of himself in all parallel worlds and multiverses, there is no way to find out what era he lived in and what kind of people he had before he became a transcendent who mastered the Dharma. The specifics have passed.

But judging from the actual situation, this old man has a special liking for things like "magical girls" for some reason, and the contrast between his preferences and his own image can be said to be worlds apart.

He even specially made two magic wands (kaleidoscope wands), the red one named Ruby (ruby) and the blue one named Safiya (sapphire), and injected the 'method' he mastered into them.

Theoretically speaking, as long as you hold either of the two kaleidoscope wands, the holder can become a magician who has mastery of the power of magic - of course, the actual situation is that no one has the full power except the Gemstone Man himself. Just the knowledge to use its power.

Even so, as long as anyone holds the kaleidoscope wand, they can transform into a traditional "magical girl" style designed by the gem man himself. If we compare it horizontally with the heroic spirit servants, it is through transformation that the magical girls are directly given full powers. Spirit base with attribute A level——

Although, how much it can actually be used depends on the qualifications of the magical girl herself.

In fact, a similar prop, Gemstone Weng, also made a [Gem Sword] that was also infused with 'Dharma', but that thing had a clear 'upper limit'.

But the magical girls of Jewel Man didn't.

As long as the user is talented enough, he can even unleash an attack that tears apart time and space, shatters planets, and splits the universe - creating a world-opening attack.

This can be regarded as a kind of alternative. It belongs to the "humor" or "humor" of the old man.

Many worlds have been destroyed because of them, and many worlds have been saved because of them. After all, the number of parallel worlds is infinite.

And now, when everyone has almost forgotten, the miraculous magical girl appears again.

A punch that infinitely extracted magic power from parallel time and space, forcefully blasted away Yatogami Toka (Earth Sky) on the physical level as if the Demon King of Destruction had descended into the world.

"Illya?" That figure made Lu Mingfei subconsciously identify him.

"No, it's Moriarty." Fujimaru Ritsuka complained quite calmly.

The reason why Lu Mingfei did not immediately recognize Moriarty as a member of the Muse, but mistook him for Illya, was not only because they both had white hair, but also mainly because Moriarty had his own The aesthetic of Muse was all about the Victorian British style. It has never appeared like a magical girl character in modern people's impressions as it does now.

The First Emperor, who was very interested in technology, was not paralyzed by this super expansion, and quickly typed on the keyboard to analyze the results:

"It's true that he is the magical girl transformed by Moriarty, but he was affected by memory interference. Now he is equivalent to acting as an NPC of the AST force. Well, it seems that when the gem man made these two things, he was just innocent The 'Magic' is injected into it, and nothing else remains. As long as the holder himself doesn't know how to do it, even if there is infinite magic power, the best thing to use in a real fight is the enhanced fist and magic cannon output.

Just like Lu Mingfei and other hybrids, your mental resistance is surprisingly low. "

Lu Mingfei did not finish listening to the first emperor's seemingly pointed words.

In addition to Moriarty, other AST members also appeared one after another. I don’t know if it was because these minor miscellaneous soldiers had no description in the original work. Lu Mingfei took a look at them and thought, Guys, a lot of familiar faces.

For example - Tamamo Mae, Helena, etc.

Um?

Why are there still people who seem familiar? For example, a blond girl with a temperament like Sakata Kintoki, a girl with a temperament like Jekyll, a girl with a temperament like Tesla.

"Their spiritual base appearance has been adjusted."

Da Vinci looked at the data and then said casually. It's not something important after all.

"In the world setting of "Date Live", like many harem-oriented light novels, it is set that only women can use mechas, so the models of the male heroic spirits have been adjusted except for the appearance of the spirit base model. The specific numbers haven’t changed and there’s nothing special about it.”

I see.

That's really not that important.

Lu Mingfei's attention was quickly shifted to the real key.

As the theoretical magic power has no upper limit - the upper limit even exceeds the suppression of Gaia consciousness, the magical girl Miss Moriarty appears and performs the work of the NPC of the AST force. In the original story, she is almost a funny character. , the AST force, which was completely unable to fight against the elves, had a power that could not be ignored on the stage of the original crusher created by Kirshtalia.

For example, Lu Mingfei's missing Mecha Pegasus was originally given to Tesla for modification and upgrade, so after the stage was covered, it may have also ended up with the AST team, right?

But the key to the problem now is not those. The real key now is that because of the unexpected appearance of the magical girl, Chaldea's computer calculated a 'processing method' after collecting data.

"As long as she keeps fighting with Yatogami Tohka, she will be forced to continuously output the excess and increasing magic power in her body."

The First Emperor shook his head and displayed a set of data on the big screen.

"Although it is impossible to cut off the connection between Gaia consciousness and Yatogami Toka - to be more precise, the character Yatogami Toka in front of us now is the incarnation of Gaia consciousness, so it is impossible to cut off the connection. , even if we do it, Yatogami Tohka (Bagster) will die, but as long as we fight her, let her output magic power faster than Gaia consciousness can inject magic power, that is, let her current body When the magic power drops to a certain level, she will 'disappear' due to the elf rules of this stage."

The First Emperor proposed a way to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.

"According to the setting of Date A Live, when the magic power is insufficient, the elves will be ejected from the material world to places like subspace, waiting for the next opportunity to appear in the world - this is almost the case. I will use various terms It has been translated into easy-to-understand content. What do you think? However, it must be mentioned that this method of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause will lead to an improvement in the adaptability of the earth and heaven to the power of Gaia consciousness each time it appears. Specifically, It just gets stronger and harder to deal with each time."

The First Emperor himself did not draw a conclusion, but after analysis, he threw this question to the only two masters in Chaldea.

Lu Mingfei looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka impatiently, waiting for her to come up with any trick that could reverse the current situation.

"."

But Fujimaru Ritsuka was silent.

There were no words, no movements, and no expressions.

After ten seconds of silence that was very long for Ritsuka——

She finally came to a conclusion.

I saw Li Xiang typing on the keyboard and quickly inputting two lines of words on the big screen:

[1. Fujimaru Ritsuka will make the judgment]

[2. Leave the right of judgment to Lu Mingfei]

What?

What does it mean? Didn't Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mikazuki prevent Lu Mingfei from making a deal with the little devil before? Why is this happening again now?

Is it possible that she analyzed some information in the short time just now and made such a decision?

When Lu Mingfei was confused and Mikazuki was getting impatient, Fujimaru Ritsuka opened a random number generation program.

【1D2=2】

What the hell? Lu Mingfei didn't react immediately, but he seemed to be the only one making a fuss. The First Emperor even couldn't help laughing, as if he had seen something funny: "Have you decided to use divination at this time?"

Li Xiang ignored other thoughts and looked directly at Lu Mingfei.

"Lu Mingfei, from now on, I will continue to perform the work of the commander. I will continue to make suggestions for actions, but the real decision-making power is left to you."

Staring into Li Xiang's sand-gold eyes, Lu Mingfei's confusion and uneasiness became more serious - it was not that there were no similar situations before, but at that time, most of them just let Lu Mingfei make the most critical action choice. But this time is different. Lixiang seems to want to hand over leadership to Lu Mingfei, a person who is used to following the crowd?

Lu Mingfei, who had calmed down a little from his previous impulse (it didn't exceed 95), felt a little uneasy again.

Of course, part of the reason is that the fierce battle between the AST force headed by the magical girl and Earth Sky caused Yatogami Toka (Bagst)'s physical collapse index to decrease.

“Doing nothing and biding your time – waiting and hoping is also an option.”

After saying this, Sakura Girl had no intention of continuing to do ideological work. Instead, under the gaze of the increasingly irritable Mikayue, she quickly typed on the keyboard and provided Lu Mingfei with several action suggestions.

"Senior Brother Lu, it's your choice."

——Choice differences appear——

[1/7. As expected, we should still attack. In short, we must first repel the Earth Sky (Yatogami Tohka) once, and then consider the subsequent actions]

[2/8. Target the members of AST. After they have defeated the Earth Sky (Yatogami Tohka) at this stage, make a sneak attack, kidnap them and return them to remove the memory coverage and increase their companions]

[3. Let Merusin, the strongest species, attack and bet on whether she can defeat the Earth, absorb the excess power of Gaia, and restore Yatogami Tohka to Bagster]

【4/5/6/9, do nothing, wait for transfer】

【10. Super expansion of chaos】

【1D10=8】

"."

Lu Mingfei could feel San Riyue's fiery gaze.

Obviously, she hoped that Lu Mingfei would choose the third option.

But after Lu Mingfei calmed down and did not lose control, he faced the various action options given by Li Xiang that were obviously more reasonable - at least more reasonable than directly cheating on Krypton life.

Sure enough, I chose the safest option.

Speaking of which, listing all the action options he suggested and placing them in front of Lu Mingfei can be regarded as a way to awaken his rationality, right?

At least Lu Mingfei chose rationality this time.

I always feel like I was guided to some extent and made the choice that seemed the most reasonable.

Wait for the opportunity, let AST fight with Earth and Heaven first

"Can the people of AST really defeat Bagster at this stage?" Lu Mingfei was still a little uneasy and looked at the First Emperor.

"Theoretically, it's feasible. At least with the kaleidoscope wand, Earth Sky should be fine at this stage. However, thinking about it in the future, Earth Sky's upper limit of strength will continue to increase, but how much power of the kaleidoscope wand can the magical girl exert? The upper limit is limited, and if we cannot weaken the state of Earth Sky to a certain extent this time, we will not be able to carry out the next stage of operations."

"Next stage of action?"

The First Emperor did not answer, but looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Sakura Girl immediately answered: "If the loss of Earth Sky reaches a certain level, then the next time she appears, she may not be immediately dominated by the power of Gaia consciousness. At that time, we can find opportunities to try to contact Yatogami Tohka ( Bagster)."

Lu Mingfei frowned. Before he could ask more questions, Sakura Girl cleverly changed the topic:

"Speaking of which, Senior Brother Lu, let's not call her Bagster from now on. Let's take this opportunity and just call her 'Toh Fragrance'."

"? Why? Because the voices are similar?"

"There are also reasons for this, but in the final analysis, Bagster is not her name in the first place, but the racial name of a kind of fairy. She is neither Bagster nor Gawain, but has the name of both. They're just human beings with spiritual attributes from the elf race of 'Bagst' and the heroic knight named 'Gawain'. You see, Matthew isn't called Galahad, right?"

Until now, the names of artificial beings other than Mikazuki had not been given, and they were all referred to by the names of heroic spirits or the names of fairies. Once they got used to it, they forgot about it.

Anyway, it’s okay, just give it a name.

The crescent moon is also named in a similar way, right?

[The ‘real name’ of Android 3 is determined to be ‘Yatogami Tohka’]

Because the topic was changed by Ritsuka, there was a slight delay. Of course, the other Chaldean members were already ready for the next action during this period, and naturally the two aces Lu Mingfei and Mikazuki were also A situation where you can attack at any time.

At this moment, the situation in the battle between the AST troops and Earth Sky seems to have changed.

☆

The AST troops are fighting against Earth.

It's said to be a battle, but strictly speaking, it's just a matter of letting the magical girl go head-to-head with Earth and Heaven, with other people surrounding her as support.

The gap is too big.

Even according to AST's current information, the energy scale of the earth and sky in front of them is unprecedented. Rather, what AST really finds strange is that someone in its team can actually go head-to-head with such a monster.

Perhaps only the ace warriors of the legendary DEM Company can fight a monster of this magnitude, right?

Compared to Earth and Heaven, the magical girl Moriarty is indeed stranger.

But now, considering the safety of Tiangong City, it is naturally difficult for the senior officials of the AST Force to interrupt. Moreover, DEM Company has a cooperative relationship with the senior officials of the AST Force. This team is even nominally affiliated with DEM Company and is said to be an army. But it was suppressed by the company

They are more like mercenaries than an army.

DEM didn't give any more instructions, they just asked them to act according to the rules, fight with Earth Sky, minimize her damage to the city, and drag them until the opponent's energy is exhausted and they are expelled from the material world.

For Earth Sky, not only fighting requires energy consumption, but also maintaining the present world itself consumes a lot of energy.

So when Earth Sky first appeared and its energy level soared like crazy, almost everyone was frightened.

'almost'.

Although it doesn't sound good to say this, most of the AST troops are actually here to mess around, because before this, no one thought that they could fight the elves with their old equipment that had been eliminated by DEM.

Procrastinate as long as possible and minimize environmental damage. For them, it means they have lived up to taxpayers' money, right?

Anyway, except for Tobiichi Origami, no one really wanted to fight the elves before this. A certain NPC lady who was too lazy to name her thought so.

But what she also didn't expect was that Tobiichi Origami's companion was actually so powerful.

If Lu Mingfei or Fujimaru Ritsuka were here, they would definitely criticize Kirshtalia, a third-rate screenwriter, for writing a script that was full of errors and didn’t seriously write the background story at all, right?

"Disappear quickly, disappear quickly and leave the material world."

This idea should be shared by the vast majority of NPC female soldiers (played by unrelated civilians in the London Singularity).

How can we fight a war when morale is so low?

Although the memory has been affected, this does not prevent Moriarty, Tamamo Mae, Sakata Kintoki, Jekyll, Machiri, Helena, Tesla - the original Moriarty team from feeling unhappy.

After this battle is over, there will definitely be a severe criticism, right?

But that was also after that.

Let's assume the role of the magical girl Moriarty as the leader of this army. How far can she achieve it?

Although because of the power of magic in the kaleidoscope wand, theoretically Moriarty's energy limit even exceeds Gaia's consciousness. After all, it is infinite. That's just in theory. The upper limit of the kaleidoscope wand is unlimited, but the user is different.

[Moriarty’s ‘Magical Girl Adaptability’ Determination——]

【1D100=3(?)】

[Punishment for major failure is added, defaulting to the fact that Moriarty cannot defeat Earth Sky in the first stage alone]

[Go directly to additional judgment]

[First determine Moriarty’s ‘battle damage level’: 1D100=96 (sword, fire)]

--Sudden

Originally, the battle in which magical girls continued to extract magic power from parallel worlds, and Earth and Heaven continued to sob and collide with each other's energy, has changed.

"——■■■■■█████!!!!!"

The earth sky suddenly released an almost storm-like scream.

The planet seemed to be singing along with it.

deterioration.

The energy scale of the earth sky suddenly escalated.

Perhaps it was because the spell Kirshtalia constructed to summon the power of Gaia's consciousness was so effective.

Or maybe it's a vessel named Yatogami Tohka, which is unexpectedly highly adaptable to Gaia consciousness.

Of course, it could also be that the devil is behind it.

For now, this is the worst possible outcome.

Moriarty, who forcibly transformed into a magical girl, could no longer hold on. At the same time, the physical pressure on Yatogami Tohka was further intensified.

The balance of the force collision collapsed instantly, and Moriarty failed to react in time. Even though the AI ​​of the ruby ​​wand quickly mobilized its magic power to form a defensive barrier, it still failed to block it. In the blink of an eye, the energy output of Earth Sky evaporated abruptly. A large part of Riati's body.

Moriarty fell and relied on the performance of the ruby ​​wand to barely save his breath. He needed to be treated immediately——

But now, who can stop Earth and Heaven?

【then.】

[1. Kirshtalia decided to invest in a magical girl who uses a sapphire wand]

[2. Lu Mingfei must attack! (Although he is a bad old man, Moriarty is also a companion!)]

【3. Mikayue An couldn’t help but take action! 】

[4~9. An existence with the ability to repel the current Earth and Heaven appears]

【10. Super expansion of chaos】

【1D10=6】

[Specifically, this existence is——]

[1. God: Hercules]

[2. God: Asclepius]

[3/5/7/9, Yuxiao Mijiu (the most reasonable option)]

[4. Sapphire Magical Girl: Sherlock Holmes (Holmes’ magical girl adaptability +30 correction)]

【6/8, Yamai Kiya and Yuzuru Yamai】

【10. Super expansion of chaos】

【1D10=10】

[1D2=1 (big success!)]

[If a great success is a great success in this situation, then]

[1. Miku Miku (the most powerful elf in the Kirshtalia script)]

[2~6, ↑+ Moreover, there is no memory interference, and I still remember that I am ‘Xia Mi’]

【7/9. The super adaptable sapphire magical girl Sherlock Holmes! (Basic correction 70)]

[8. Kurumi Tokisaki, signed a contract with the little devil and showed up to save the scene]

【10. Super expansion of chaos】
