Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

117. Athena’s exclamation

So far, Lu Mingfei has used a lot of power.

The powers Lu Mingfei has used are generally divided into two categories.

The first category is mainly composed of the 'Concept Extraction Ceremony (Heroic Knight Transformation Device)' made by Leonardo da Vinci and the 'Friendship Badge (borrowing the power of companions)' given to Chaldea by Saint King Liu.

In other words, you are using power that does not belong to you. You are using the power of other 'props (objects outside the body)' to fight.

The other category is the power that belongs to Lu Mingfei himself.

In other words, [the manifestation of fantasy] - 'the highest power', 'the power among powers', and 'the power to create powers'.

Representatives are the 'golden experience' that Lu Mingfei can now use proficiently, and the 'plug-ins' that he will get every time he trades with Lu Mingze.

Rather than 'obtaining' the plug-in through transactions with the little devil, Lu Mingfei used 'fantasy materialization' to 'materialize' the plug-in he wanted with the help of the little devil.

That is to say, Lu Mingfei was unable to use his true power. The reason Da Vinci had already analyzed and told Lu Mingfei was because Lu Mingfei was human - even though Lu Mingfei had begun to doubt himself subjectively. Maybe he is not a human being, but Lu Mingfei still feels that he is a human being in his subconscious, and his drifting personality makes him habitually live as a human being.

Lu Mingfei cannot use this power. As long as he is still Lu Mingfei, he cannot actively use [Utopia Realization].

However, the mysterious world is always full of 'exceptional cases'.

For example, the Death Eye is said to kill everything. In fact, if you look for it specifically, there are surprisingly many things it can't kill.

For another example, mystery will become invalid or weakened because more people understand it, but the ‘mystery of the future’ in the new era does not follow this rule.

Lu Mingfei was unable to actively use [Utopian Manifestation], and could only use it through a 'deal' with the little devil whose identity was unknown.

But in addition, there is another way to use [Fantasy Manifestation] - bypass Lu Mingfei, bypass the little devil, and use its power without being aware of it.

This method was thought up by Fujimaru Ritsuka.

That is [nursery rhyme].

Nursery rhymes are children’s heroes and the embodiment of children’s subconscious thoughts. Because of this nature, Fujimaru Ritsuka handed the nursery rhymes to Lu Mingfei, so Lu Mingfei was unconscious of them, and even the nursery rhymes themselves were unconscious. , the power of [Fantasy Embodiment] was leaked out, and was used to create the fairy tale world, a dream-like artifact that covered London.

——Then the problem comes.

Kirshtalia was obviously not included in Fujimaru Ritsuka's original design.

And Kirshtalia discovered how Fujimaru Ritsuka used nursery rhymes to 'steal' Lu Mingfei's [Fantasy Embodiment] for her own use.

So Kirshtalia decisively copied Fujimaru Ritsuka's homework.

This is the scene where Kirshtalia created various spirit bodies of the elves in "Date A Live" in front of Lu Mingfei during the previous game.

Everyone now knows that the reason why Kirshtalia did this was to prepare to flip the table.

And it has flipped the table successfully.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was forced out, and the fairy tale world was once again covered by the dating world. Even though the copy was not perfect and was full of flaws, it still succeeded in overturning the table.

--but

Did Kirshtalia really only do this one thing at that time?

No, that's not right.

He also did one more thing.

An answer that Kong Ming had already deduced.

——Kirshtalia Wodem is copying homework

But it wasn’t just copying Fujimaru Ritsuka’s work.

When he was rubbing the 'two-dimensional beautiful girl wife' in front of Lu Mingfei, he also copied the homework of another person - Saint King Karl.

"The most precious legacy left by Saint King Karl is actually not the [Friendship Badge], but the way of thinking he provided."

Su Enxi's voice echoed in Jiude Mai's ears.

Millions of meteorites continued to fall from the universe. Mai Jiudoku picked up Su Enxi like a princess and kept moving around among the meteorites.

"What does that have to do with the situation we are facing now!?" Jiude Mai gritted her teeth and growled at Su Enxi. A huge planet came towards me, and it was too late to dodge, so Mai Shutoku could only kick the planet back.

"Things, ideas! This idea affects everyone on both sides. Under normal circumstances, if there is no Holy King, the enemy with the singularity that Chaldea will face is nothing more than someone who got the Holy Grail and abused the power of the Holy Grail to distort They were just heroic spirits or magicians of the era, but the Holy King provided an idea, which is to regard the Holy Grail as a 'material used to create super combat power', rather than simply a 'powerful power' itself."

"Can you tell me in simpler and easier-to-understand terms!?"

"To put it bluntly, without the Holy King's actions, Chaldea would have only faced 'enemies who used the Holy Grail as a cannonball.' However, after the Holy King, both the enemy and ourselves learned the Holy King's ideas. , they all started to 'use the Holy Grail as the core of the engine to build Star Destroyers'!"

"This Star Destroyer is the 'King of Singularity'?"

"right!"

"Why does consuming a lot of resources, including the Holy Grail, to create a super weapon that can provide huge benefits sounds like beating a miracle?"

Su Enxi was stunned for a moment: "It's not that you can't say that. Why did you suddenly think of this?"

"I just thought our boss would complain like this! So the Tokisaki Kurumi we are facing now is the work of the Holy King before Kirshtalia, a 'spectacle' created by imitating the Holy King's ideas, right? "

Let’s look back at what Kirshtalia did back then.

Magicians are very simple.

They will not take meaningless actions, so all actions must be meaningful and aimed at achieving a certain purpose of their own.

At that time, Kirshtalia not only took on the shells of various two-dimensional elf girls from "Date A Live", but also deliberately transformed into the super popular Kurumi Tokisaki (who Lu Mingfei liked) The appearance of the character, and using the power of Kurumi Tokisaki——

wrong.

Rather than using it, at that moment, Tokisaki Kurumi's time-based ability in the story, the 'Koko Emperor', was 'created'.

In other words, it was at that time that Kirshtalia successfully stole part of Lu Mingfei's [Utopia Realization] power.

That's why Mai Shutoku and Su Enxi's boss, the little devil, had to go there personally to get back the stolen part of Kurumi Tokisaki's dream materialized.

"To be precise, except for the dragon girl, the other three android girls were captured by Kirshtalia and used as material for her own 'wonder', but because Lu Mingfei was used in the process, Power, so the popular character that Lu Mingfei likes the most will be even better as the material!"

"I understand! After all, there are more nerds named Tokisaki Kurumi's third wife than those who have watched "Date Live"! Then, what will happen to us here and we will be forced to play parkour games among meteorites? "

"That's because the material used to make Kurumi Tokisaki is the last android girl. In a sense, she is the most special, so we have to treat her specially! The boss used 'Five' on her after recovering her power. Stop and watch, we are now entering her spiritual realm, and we want to control her and turn her into a companion!"

"Why do I think these four android girls are all 'special'!? If they are all special, can they still be considered special!? Isn't this too cheap!?"

Su Enxi was speechless for a moment because of Jutoku Mai's fierce complaints.

That seems to be the case.

But as a civilian, Su Enxi could only tell Shutoku Mai, what was so special about the last android girl - the girl who was used as the material to create the 'wonder (Tokisaki Kurumi)' in front of her.

Android Girl No. 2 is the last of four nameless android girls who received the heroic spirit Knight of the Round Table Tristan and the goblin vampire Bawanshi Lingki.

"What's special about her is that she doesn't have a strong personality tendency. She has neither deep-seated hatred nor yearning for love. She's not even timid and introverted like Yoshino - timid and introverted is also a personality in itself, but she has nothing

In fact, this should be a normal reaction when creatures like artificial humans are created. They are just empty shells with no real personality. They just act according to the set goals. To put it bluntly, they are biological robots!

But none of the four android girls have been carved into the set goals, so their personality logic is based on their respective personalities. The white-haired dragon girl is proud and wants to protect everyone, and the righteous idiot Toka simply yearns to save the world. However, the timid and introverted Yoshino longs for someone who will protect him unconditionally!

But Android 2 is completely different. Her emotions towards everything are very dull. Although she has basic common sense and can act like a normal person, she does not have a personality in the true sense! this means--"

Su Enxi took a deep breath.

"Because she has not formed a personality, she will not respond to the 'God's Will (Saturn Sky)' that invaded her spirit after being experimented on, or the 'God's Will (Saturn Sky)' that Kirshtalia stole and created with Lu Mingfei's power. Tokisaki Kurumi's personality resisted like the other three android girls, but directly absorbed it completely!"

"What do you mean? Tell me directly what the result of this is!" Jiude Mai hugged Su Enxi and shouted at the top of her lungs amidst the loud roar of the explosion.

"Several other elf girls would reject each other because they were incompatible with the infused will of God, but she was the only one who completed it immediately after injecting the material! In other words, after our boss retrieved 'Tokisaki Kurumi' , she is already the true will of God of 'Saturn Heaven'!"

"Who is Saturn? Which Greek god does it correspond to?"

"Cronus! The second generation of god-kings in Greek mythology! He was the one who castrated his father with a sickle and then married his mother and came to power! Zeus is the third-generation god-king who overthrew him!"

"Cronus?! I don't study well, so don't lie to me!"

Mai Shutoku gritted her teeth, hugged Su Enxi and fled thousands of miles away, temporarily breaking away from the chaotic battle, and then pointed at the thing that was currently fighting fiercely with her boss.

It was a huge sun-like star, but the light it emitted was black. In the middle of the red and black sun's spherical body, there was a huge mouth that was constantly swallowing the surrounding food. Large planets.

"You can do whatever you want in the spiritual world! But no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with Cronus!? Besides, aren't the Greek gods all Mecha-gods!? Aren't they all? Is it part of the space colony fleet!? Where is the God of Machines and where is Cronus in this thing!? No matter how you look at it, it’s all a Cthulhu-style evil god, right!?”

"You are right! It is the Cthulhu Evil God - more accurately, it is one of the important prototypes of the Cthulhu Evil God written by Lovecraft!"

"What?"

""Saturn Devouring His Son" by Spanish Romantic painter Francisco Goya!" (Note: Because it is very SAN, it is not recommended to search if you are not mentally prepared)

"Is it that particularly scary art painting that makes San?" Mai Shutoku was stunned for a moment, "I remember that thing seems to be the Roman mythology of Saturn. Roman mythology and Greek mythology are related to each other? Uranus is equal to Saturn?"

"The actual situation is a little more complicated than you think. Roman mythology is also called 'human mythology' in mystical circles. This is because other myths are allusions to the history of the mythical era, but Roman mythology is different in that it integrates all myths. The Roman mythology used for human domination has actually been separated from the history of the mythical age and has become a simple story.”

"But!" Su Enxi emphasized, "Roman mythology was not human mythology from the beginning! To be more precise, Roman mythology was no different from general mythology before, but after being integrated with Greek mythology, it became what it was later. Due to the forced integration of human mythology, the gods in Roman mythology can find corresponding roles in Greek mythology, but this correspondence is very forced!

Cronus is the second generation god-king and a stepping stone for Zeus to ascend to the throne, but his counterpart, Saturn, is different. In the original Roman mythology, Saturn was both the god of 'dawn' and the god of 'darkness' , is both the god of 'reality' and the god of 'illusion', the original fertility god of the earth, and the truly oldest existence in primitive Roman mythology. It can be said that Roman mythology served as the 'original beginning' before it became a human myth. The most ancient god who gave birth to everything

It is the black sun, the god of magicians, and is considered the god of creating the future! "

"Is there such a powerful thing?" Mai Shutoku's eyes widened, with disbelief written all over her face.

"Normally these settings are useless."

"ah?"

"Because after Roman mythology got rid of its identity as a god myth and became a human myth, Saturn was belittled countless times. Its power was either stripped or taken away, and even its name was associated with the alien Kranos. Covered by the machine god, if the time and space environment is normal, it will barely be considered a second-rate main god if it survives."

"But now the incineration of humanity has occurred, and time and space have been messed up." Mai Shutoku suddenly felt that she understood, "Things that were originally impossible have become possible. Kirshtalia is watching the Holy King' After the action of "beating the wonder", he planned to beat a "super ancient Saturn" wonder!? Damn it, if he really succeeds in this, maybe in addition to the earth on the earth, another person can What a strength to compete with that white-haired dragon girl!"

Mai Shutoku couldn't help but be speechless.

Then I quickly realized something was wrong.

"Oh no, what does that have to do with us? Why do we have to go to this spiritual world of Saturn to fight with him?" Mai Shutoku wondered.

"Use your brain! How can the container of Android No. 2, now called 'Kurumi Tokisaki', be able to withstand such a level of power? This is a time bomb, and the detonator is still held in Kiel. Shitalia's hands! How can Lu Mingfei's character, who can't walk when he sees a beautiful girl, really reach that point and still have to fight so hard? But there is also a part of Lu Mingfei's power that makes up this thing. How can it really get to that point? It will be difficult to clean up after one step, so our boss has to find an opportunity to solve this problem in advance.”

As soon as Su Enxi finished speaking, she saw an incandescent flash of light burst out in front of the black sun. The black sun - the incarnation of God's will of the original Saturn was repulsed, and the boss who used Sanwuniu's body also flew back. Arriving at Jiude Mai and Su Enxi.

"Even if the spiritual world can do whatever it takes, it's too exaggerated." Mai Shutoku couldn't help but mutter.

Su Enxi glanced at her: "Why don't you complain that we can still breathe and speak freely in the universe now."

Then they both looked at the boss in front of them.

"I've already taken care of the technique part. All you need to do next is destroy this ghost thing in the spiritual world, and then hide with Tokisaki Kurumi."

"Boss, are you finally recruiting new employees for us? I didn't expect that you would follow the public's preference for Kurumi Tokisaki, right?"

"I prefer the kind of little bird Yu Rikka, but this is a 'child' created by that Kirshtalia guy who stole my brother's power. My brother and I have not created (given birth to) new children for several epochs ( The first generation species)', I didn't expect to be accidentally hit by Kirshtalia this time, so I don't want my brother to come into contact with the mysterious world of this planet. As long as the vulnerability is found and exploited, sooner or later it will cause trouble. thing."

The little devil clicked his tongue, seeming to feel something.

"The other side has returned to the real world. I have to go back. This side is left to you three. I have temporarily unlocked the permission to use my [Fantasy Embodiment] for the three of you. Use the three of you to think Kill that thing with your strongest blow, and then retreat."

After saying that, the little devil waved his hand, and Sanwu Niu closed her eyes and opened them. With the change of breath, both Jiude Mai and Su Enxi could see that the people inside had changed.

Sanwuniu didn't speak, Jiude Mai scratched her head, glanced at the truly roaring black sun, and then looked at Su Enxi:

"Have you thought about what to use? It'd better be something that impresses us old ladies, otherwise we won't be able to imagine it."

Fantasy materialization, as the name suggests, you have to 'think' if you want to use it.

Su Enxi thought for a while.

Then a set of golden holy clothes from "Saint Seiya" were embodied on each of the three of them.

"Because these types of elements are so dense around me recently, I can only think of this."

Mai Shutoku looked at the Capricorn Golden Saint Cloth on her body and marveled: "Three golden saints, then I know what they are. We old aunts have recalled our childhood, right? Speaking of which, are there women who cannot be saints? What’s the setting?”

"Don't worry about details like that!"

Sanwuniu didn't speak, but silently took a stance and faced the black sun Saturn.

Jiude Mai and Su Enxi immediately understood each other and stood on both sides behind her.

In "Saint Seiya", there is a move in which the three golden saints focus their ultimate small universe on one point to attack. Its destructive power in a small area can rival the Big Bang that created the universe.

Of course, the difference between setting and expressiveness does not need to be understood too clearly.

After all, you can make it as round as you want.

Besides, this is a spiritual world, so you can do whatever you want and exaggerate.

The old aunts silently recalled their childhood.

To materialize this move from fantasy——

[Utopia materialized]
