Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

9. Survival strategy

Is Vritra really the king of singularities?

Pepe shook his head and threw away the imprecise thoughts that came to his mind.

If you think about it carefully, this problem should not exist at all. There is a problem with the logic here. The King of Singularity is just a common name for the most powerful creature in that singularity or the creature whose position is most similar to the final BOSS. It does not mean The King of Singularity is the mastermind behind this, and the logic that defeating them will solve the Singularity is wrong.

Elizabeth Bathory has a strong say in this. If I have to say it, France's 'Final BOSS' and 'King of Singularity' are her incarnations of the Witch of Despair, but defeating her does not mean that you can clear the Singularity. Defeating her just means Just meet the last condition that triggers the final battle.

Although the Witch of Despair is the King of the Singularity, she is only artificially created. As the shady Holy King, he is the real enemy that must be defeated if he wants to clear the French Singularity.

Let’s go back and think about Vritra’s action logic.

That would be weird.

Although the Weir Dragon Furita has the strength of the King of Singularity, at first glance it seems that she is indeed doing the final boss thing, but the actual situation is not that at all. She does attack fiercely when she comes up, but in the middle of the road He became lazy and no longer obsessed with conquering the singularity. Instead, he started hanging up and hoping that heroes who could defeat him would appear. He didn't even care that there were defectors in his Asura Legion.

As she said herself, she is the devil, the absolute devil king. What kind of devil can she be if she cannot defeat ten thousand people?

But on the other hand, these settings of Vritra have nothing to do with this North American singularity. As long as she appears in this world, she will do similar things no matter where she is, right? Maybe when Christmas appears in the world, she will transform into "You can't get Christmas back unless you defeat me!" ’——‘To be more specific, you won’t be able to open the box of the Christmas gift, and you won’t be able to say anything like confessing to your sweetheart during Christmas.’ So.

The previous kings of singularities more or less had the ‘personal characteristics’ of the current singularity.

But Vritra is different. She has nothing to do with the North American Singularity. She is just herself. She is the demon king who hopes that the heroes will use all their strength, wisdom and bravery to become warriors of light and defeat him.

To put it bluntly, the essence of Vritra is actually-'The wild final BOSS appears! ’ That’s right.

Since Vritra is the final wild BOSS, who is the BOSS that truly belongs to this unique point in North America? Who is the real ‘enemy’ born from the distortion of the North American Singularity?

Pepelongino, whose subjective initiative is second to none in Group A, thought.

But then again, from a mystical perspective, does North America really have its own ‘characteristics’? Aliens in Area 51?

Aliens. But there are too many aliens on the earth. Many mythological gods are alien visitors, and even humans themselves are not native residents of the earth.

Although I can't figure it out, the existence of Vritra, the 'wild final BOSS' who is so powerful that he takes over the spotlight, is conducive to bringing the heroes together.

No matter what the enemy or the shady thing is, it is right for the heroes to gather together like a superhero alliance and pool their strength to come up with a plan, right?

Because of Vritra, the heroes gathered together.

Because of the emergence of the 'President King', this heroic spirit that combines all the 'presidential' power of America's 'past, present, future and all possibilities' - 'they' borrowed Edison's spiritual base to appear, so naturally the leader of the alliance also fell. On the President King.

Everything goes as it should, after all, we are the hosts.

Although Geronimo, the heroic spirit of the Indians, had something to say, he was quiet and no one cared about him. After all, the public enemy at the moment was Vritra.

It's been smooth sailing up to this point.

But as things went smoothly, Pepe began to feel more and more something was wrong.

Although the details of the President's desire for control are unclear, Pepe feels it is abnormal and feels that it is too 'sick'. What makes Pepe even more puzzled is that the President with such a serious problem is in the base camp of the US military, but That Nightingale was nowhere to be seen. Ever since the President King appeared, she seemed to have disappeared from this singular point.

However, Pepe has his own skills, and he also has Ma Xi's trump card. Although he can't control Shiva's power well, the gathering of so many heroic spirits this time is a good opportunity for Ma Xi to find people to learn from and hone. By chance, Beowulf had a good relationship with Ma Xi for this reason.

When the situation really got out of control, it was after President Wang sent Tesla and Helena to other worlds to "find power" in order to obtain more powerful power.

With Tesla and Helena temporarily leaving, the 'unnatural' part of what happened to President Wang has gone out of control.

As a golden Arhat, Pepe has mastered six techniques commonly known as the "Six Magical Powers". Although the actual effect is not as outrageous as the rumors say, Pepe is best at two of them. One is to achieve high-speed movement that ignores all obstacles by distorting space. The 'Magic Foot Power', relying on the magic foot power, even the Third Prince Nezha who stepped on the Hot Wheels could not catch up with Pepe.

The other one is - 'He knows his mind'.

He has psychic powers and can know the thoughts and thoughts of all living beings in the three realms and six realms. The actual effect is more abstract and can generally be treated as a mind-reading skill. However, the actual effect is not mind-reading in the literal sense. It is able to ignore all concealment methods and perceive abstract things such as the "color of the emotions in the heart", "fluctuations of the emotions in the heart", and "the animal state of the emotions in the heart" of the target.

Generally speaking, it is similar to the feeling of "zen meditation", but after becoming proficient, Pepe can "read" a lot of emotional information in the target's heart from a person. This information may not even be clear to the target himself. After all, since ancient times, reading has My own heart is a very difficult thing.

As Tesla and Helena went out, in the eyes of Pepe's 'other mind', the color in President Wang's heart became more and more turbid, and his appearance became more and more chilling.

Pepe has seen many guys with human faces and animal hearts. They are often good at pretending to have a kind face, but their hearts are all kinds of ugly beasts releasing desires, but the President King is more than that.

Darkness, no, no, it is not a 'simple' thing like darkness, but chaos, a thing of chaos that is creeping and sneaking, trying to hide but being extra public. Just looking at it will make Pepe feel dizzy because of the contradiction.

Pepelongino, the golden-bodied Arhat who was only one step away from the ‘Buddha’, felt that the hair on his head stood on end! He made up his mind on the spot and immediately decided to leave the US military alliance with Ma Xi. Where to go? I don't know, hide or try to find places like Area 51 or Innsmouth, Massachusetts or Miskatonic University.

Even if he does nothing and just hides and waits for the main Chaldean troops to arrive, he must immediately warn Chaldea of ​​his discovery of something hidden in the body of the 'President King' !

Pepe was already very decisive, but he was still a step too slow - or in other words, the thing that appeared as the 'President King' had already set its sights on Pepe, staring at him like a cat playing with a captured mouse. , when Pepe tried to break free, he immediately took action.

Pepe himself escaped with the help of his magic foot power, but Ma Xi was captured by President Wang.

After that, the President King's behavior became more and more extreme, and more and more servants sensed something was wrong and secretly left the team. However, the only servants who actually successfully left the team were Elizabeth, Robin Hood and a few other servants who were not outstanding - it was almost like It seemed like he was mocking something by deliberately letting them go.

Such pure malicious bad taste

Then, there is the current situation of the singularity that Harper saw when he arrived.

The two armies facing each other are getting more and more crazy. The US military that is supposed to protect the correct history is even more crazy and paranoid than Vritra's Ashura Legion. They are even targeting neutral people who are trying to break away from the US military and do not want to be involved in the war. A bloody crackdown was launched.

While Pepe was organizing to help innocent people escape, he was also hiding among them, waiting for the arrival of the Chaldean army.

But what Pepe never expected was that he didn't wait for the Chaldeans to come, and it was Harpas who waited.

Pepe certainly discovered something extraordinary about Harpas.

However, after looking through his mind, he discovered that Harper's inner appearance was just as simple as his appearance - not black or white, but a 'grey' pigeon, so he did not continue to delve deeper.

This singularity has become so chaotic that it is not surprising that some strange creatures will appear.

In comparison, although Miss Maeve's 'descendant of Queen Maeve' is also very common, is it normal for her to attract strange creatures due to her bloodline? Isn’t it very common for ‘Druids’ to exist in Celtic mythology?

Harpas relied on the 'disguise' of little girl Maeve's pet to lurk among the refugee team that Pepe and he protected. Miss Maeve was very popular because she knew some simple healing magic, and along with Harpas Si's pet is treated fairly well in the team - it doesn't need to eat anyway.

(Then again, where is the ‘Holy Grail’ of this singularity?)

With such questions in mind, Harper lay on the head of his temporary owner, Maeve, and spent a period of wandering.

Because he couldn't contact the Crown Time Temple, Harpas could only wait like Pepe, waiting for the Chaldeans to arrive, waiting for the 'king' to look at this singular point on the border that was not considered important——

Then someone came.

However, it was not Chaldea, but Helena and Tesla who had gone out before.

They brought technology,

Mobile Suit

Commonly known as 'Mobile Suit'.

To put it bluntly, it is a mass-produced machine god.

In the black technology factory of the US military, the originally rough exoskeleton soldiers were quickly updated and iterated in just one week. In the process of confronting the Asura Legion, the US military showed a shrinking defensive posture as a whole. Along with the MS invested heavily and entered a stage of comprehensive counterattack.

Especially, after Ma Xi drove the exclusive mobile suit - the 'Shiva' machine god who freely released the power of the God of Destruction and joined the battlefield.

Pepe left the team of refugees and seemed to be planning to discuss with Tesla and Helena who had returned from abroad to see if they could deal with the President King through them - to be precise, to rescue Thomas who was possessed by the President King. ·Edison'.

What happened after that?

Harpas doesn't know, because it and Maeve are members of the refugees who need to be protected. It is impossible to adventure in the past. They can only wait in the stable area with Elizabeth Bathory, who is responsible for protecting the refugees. With.

After that, nothing was heard from Pepelongino.

The Chaldean people still didn’t come.

The second week of Pepe's disappearance passed.

At the same time, the magic showdown between Weber and Kenneth began.

Harper, who was lying on Maeve's head, suddenly sensed something and looked up at the sky in the far west.

Something like a 'pillar of fire' covered the sky——

No, that's not a pillar of fire, but a 'rocket', or in other words, a 'space carrier' or a 'spaceship'.

Harpas did not pay attention to the increasingly fierce war. The God of Armor watched the rocket rising into the sky, breaking through the atmosphere, heading into the universe, entering the orbit of the moon's gravity, and then it landed on the 'back' of the moon.

Is there something on the far side of the moon?

No, it should be, in a certain taboo mythological system with North American characteristics, what is the meaning of ‘the back of the moon’?

Harpers was not the God of Books, so he couldn't tell the answer right away, so he could only think hard.

Then----

————

——

"!?"

The whole earth began to tremble.

Before Harpas could figure out the outcome, three things happened.

one

Waking up from a deep sleep, he was fully expecting the Weir Dragon Vritra to gather to attack him. He stared at everything in front of him with his mouth open.

To be precise, there was nothing in front of her eyes, not to mention the warrior of light she was looking forward to, everything had disappeared.

"Where's the Singularity! Where's the big Singularity like me? Where did it go!?"

Deep in the chaotic void, Vritra drew his sword and looked around in confusion.

Second

In the Temple of Crowned Time, Goetia, who was silently waiting for the reading of his ultimate magic—reset the world—suddenly heard the siren.

The sirens of the Temple of Crowned Time itself. It has nothing to do with Goetia. It was King Solomon who single-handedly created this temple and gave it its 'original function'.

In a word, it is the alarm sound of the "crisis of humanity". The temple is urging the demon gods to travel as the guardians of humanity to investigate and deal with the crisis approaching humanity.

"."

How will the silent Goetia choose?

And the third thing?

Harpas, who was the closest to the 'mutation', at that moment, in addition to realizing that the entire North American singularity had been successfully separated from the 'world' itself, in other words, the President King successfully took the entire North America away. at the same moment——

Harpas saw that from the back of the moon, in an instant, the chaotic darkness expanded and covered the entire sky, and countless tentacles and deformed eyes appeared from the chaotic sky.

And, at the moment when the chaos of the dark side of the moon appeared, a faint blue light suddenly bloomed in the direction of the star Fomalhaut on the other side of the starry sky, which was more distant than the moon.

☆

".Finally we've reached this point."

BB exhaled a breath, glanced at Hecate beside him who finally got up and started to move, and stood up as well.

Just now, she confirmed something.

The entire North American singularity jumped into the digital world she constructed - or, in other words, collided with it on the physical level.

The violent impact shook the entire digital world——but that is not important now.

Because it was followed by blazing flames, which were the disaster stars from Fomalhaut that followed the President King, as if the sun had fallen directly on the ground and then exploded.

Those are the Great Old Ones.

Fictional science fiction, the 'Detonator' in the taboo old myth, it is the mortal enemy of the 'Dark Side of the Moon'.

——Cthugha

What exactly happened?

From Lu Mingfei's perspective, probably at the same moment that the super heroic spirit Liu Xiu appeared, a ray of light suddenly came from the farthest corner of the horizon, and then engulfed him and everything around him.

But BB, as the operator, sees it more realistically.

The digital world was completely destroyed by the violent arrival of Cthurgia - on the physical level.

"We have finally reached this point. Let me see. Well, where has Lu Mingfei fallen now?"

——Observation divergence point appears——

——to be continued!

Although there are no dice, the entire plot here is the result of the previous dice.
