Chapter 4: Strange Causes

Xia Ran was not unfamiliar with the scene that should have happened at the end of time and space in front of him, and even had a subtle feeling that his liver was aching, or it was an illusion.

But that was a long, long time ago, and it's not for outsiders.

Whether it is the joy of shipment or the sorrow of shipwreck......

He recognized what that space was, a huge three-dimensional magic array centered on planetary magic, a special point outside the usual timeline, a small world, a conceptual universe, and the entire "realm" was a miniature sandbox of the universe.

Just as the magic workshop is for the magician, the location of the workshop is the magician's position.

The so-called workshop is an "otherworld" created by magicians in order to sharpen and strengthen their magic. If the magic mark is an organ created on the inside, then the workshop is a new otherworld created on the outside.

The so-called workshop is the end of the heavenly principles that magicians have spent years and decades, and sometimes even generations. For magicians, the workshop is like a camp, their first and last trump card, the accumulation of magical institutions, and the final formation of something like a magic fortress.

The magician, as its master, can greatly increase his strength with the help of preparation within his own position, while the enemy's magic or mystery is correspondingly limited to a considerable extent.

Amplifies one's abilities.

Limit the enemy's play.

Well, it's good and easy to understand.

On top of the ordinary magic workshop, there is a temple-level position, that is, an upgraded version of the workshop...... And this "realm" that is being attacked by many heroes who protect human reason and the last master of mankind is the ultimate form of it.

- Temple of the Crown of Time.

A small universe based on a magician's magic circuit, an inherent enchantment that can exist even outside the timeline and can continue as long as there is magic......

The owner of this unprecedented magic workshop is the magic king Solomon...... Of course, this statement is not accurate.

It should be said that the collection of the seventy-two pillars of demon gods under his command "Gaitia", the existence formed by occupying the corpse of King Solomon, the original sin beast Beast I., who holds the principle of "mercy". It is a magic that has a will, which is woven to reach true wisdom, and wants to use all human history to reach the origin.

Knowing the hopelessness and ugliness of human beings, Solomon did not choose to correct it, and finally accepted death.

However, the seventy-two pillar demon gods he enlisted did not agree, and they came to the conclusion that humanity and the future are worthless, and the end of fear is annihilated. Therefore, after the death of King Solomon, the Getia, as a collective, restarted its activities by taking resides in the remains of King Solomon.

Redefine the purpose of serving humanity and prove that you are the absolute supreme being of this planet, reaching the pole that even Solomon could not reach, that is, starting the great cause of becoming a god.

Getia sent the demon gods into the future, and several points of collapse were inserted into the course of human history, causing human reason to fall apart, but this was at best a means, not an end in itself.

Because it doesn't do it for the sake of erasing humanity, it does it for the sake of using humanity.

What it seeks is to go back 4.6 billion years from the birth of this planet, to experience the moment when the "celestial bodies" in this realm were born, and to collect all the energy of that time.

In other words, to make oneself a "new celestial body" and to create a new world without death. However, time travel on this scale is beyond the reach of man, and even Gaitia is still beyond its reach.

It's just that, just like the essence of the crown temple at the same time, it is still a magic workshop.

The essence of magic is, to put it bluntly, to make it possible with the power of an individual, and it takes a lot of time and energy to make it possible. While magic can make things seem instantaneous, it takes a lot of preparation to do so.

Similar to science in a way, the methods are different, but in order to achieve the goal, something must be done.

Therefore, although Gaetia could not directly achieve this goal, after three thousand years of planning and preparation, it still had a chance to successfully launch this technique.

It is indispensable to fly to the past, so in order to obtain the energy to fly to the past, in order to witness the birth of celestial bodies, in order to control all these moments and infinite adjustments.

A project of this magnitude requires a tremendous amount of magic, and if all the history of humanity from its inception to the modern twenty-first century were converted into magic, it would be enough to allow it to start time travel and leap to the beginning of the stars.

Therefore –

It is not because of hatred that humanity is destroyed, but for the sole reason of burning humanity, but only for the purpose of its magic.

It's a pity, just like in the story, evil can never win, and now that the base camp of the Temple of Time Crown has been attacked, it means that the peculiarities of its entry into human history have been eliminated one by one, and the enemy has rushed to kill Gatia.

Xia Ran thought about it calmly...... After all, it's not okay if he's not calm, he can only look at it like this now, and he can't do anything.

Only the existence of thinking and perception, nothing else, and he can't figure out what kind of state he is in now, although he has also wondered if he is in the Valhalla record, about to be summoned by the "protagonist", this situation will appear.

But over time, he disproved this conjecture.

It's not that he will never help, he won't respond to the call, it's not that there are no holy relics or anything, the "protagonist" can't summon himself - there is no need to worry about this at all, if necessary, he will still be helpful.

After all, helping each other is like helping one's former self, and there is a strange feeling of remembrance.

And with Matthew's shield, the other party itself has the special ability to contract with multiple servants at the same time, and basically has not used holy relics to summon them, completely relying on the phase, as well as the world's self-help cooperation, and met one legendary heroic spirit after another.

Even the current situation is the same -

The torrent of the vast number of servants gathered was even more numerous than the number of the Seventy-Two Pillar Demon Gods, and they were frantically fighting for their lord and the enemy on the opposite side, and the white-hot battle began in the entire space.

However, there is no catalyst and no summoner, so he spontaneously activated the summoning technique, relying only on the thin thread of fate that was once formed.

Until now, it is the same, there are still servants on horseback, and countless spiritual base reactions continue to increase, piercing the night sky and turning into a meteor shower in the polar sky, descending on this battlefield one after another.

The thousands of heroes gathered in this realm, even if they were incompatible enemies, even if they were people of different eras who did not intersect, now entrusted each other's backs to each other.

Just like they roared, roared, swayed with blood and determination.

"It's not to stop people from burning but ......"

"It's to open the way for our contractors!"

In addition, the Temple of Time Crown is outside of time, and Valhalla itself is also a mechanism beyond the timeline, so it makes this magic workshop a sieve, and the Servant can come on his own initiative by virtue of his own will and fate.

It's just that Xia Ran didn't perceive the opportunity to summon himself, although he established a stable link, which can be regarded as the line of cause and effect of fate, but he didn't know what to do to be able to take the initiative to enter that space.

If he could, he would have rushed over a long time ago, after all, what is better than doing something here?

It's a pity that he really only seems to have his mental consciousness here, and he can only watch the scenes that happen in distant time and space......

"I don't know, do you want me to play, if you don't do anything, what's wrong with my state?"

The magician felt a little depressed, but quickly adjusted his mood, and began to pay attention to the "nodes" that had just resonated with him, maybe these are the keys to the breakthrough?

Focusing on the most conspicuous "node", he saw a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, similar to Artoria's appearance, and a heroic girl waving the holy flag.

“……”

“……”

It's really inexplicable, how did he have a causal connection with this holy woman? Xia Ran sighed in his heart, but that kind of induction will not deceive people, is it because it is very similar to Artoria that he can reverse the idol theory?

That's a bit far-fetched, isn't it?

Speaking of Artoria though...... Subconsciously looked around the battlefield, Xia Ran unexpectedly found that there was no figure of this knight king at all, after she was included in the space system, her existence was also an extension and protection of space rules.

To put it simply, it is also unique, with some characteristics of secondary magic, although it is not a passive effect that she can actively control.

As a result, although King Arthur has a legend, he is no longer on Valhalla, and it is impossible to be summoned in any world line...... But it's a shame that this is, it seems that many versions don't exist anymore?

Swimsuit version, maid suit version, full-fledged gun nerd version......

Although it's just a different IF of the same person, well, maybe I can let Saber try cross-dressing later, a Saber with a hundred styles, maybe I can make up for some regrets.

It's just some regrets about the figure, and it seems that there is no way.

But then again, if that's the case, then the changes in this world line are very huge, for example, in the peculiarities of burning and polluting winter wood, the "protagonist" and his party should not be able to touch the blackened Knight King.

It's also very likely that the sixth anomaly is not Camelot at all, and if it is, something must have happened......

Vaguely, Xia Ran felt a flash of inspiration, as if he had grasped something, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't have a clue, after all, the intelligence was too scarce, and he couldn't piece together any decent outline for the time being.
