The establishment of the Time Travelers Alliance began in the first year of Conan

Chapter 303 Comparing Combat Power Across Worldviews? (This chapter analyzes the worldview of this book)
"Report minutes from the research level to the execution level:"
Subject: A preliminary summary research report on the situation of the 'Hasegawa Moon Disappearance Incident' and the characteristics of [Type-Moon World-001].

Number: CYZ-Type Moon-A1/ONLY The Yonder Council.

Reporting time: [Detective Conan Universe-001] · 002 Cycle · Third Cycle · 33 Working Period.

World designation: [Type-Moon World-001].

Personnel awaiting rescue: Hasegawa Tsuki (born in the Alliance [Circular Base]).

Functional role: Former member of the Medical Department / Former monitor of the Spacetime Medicine Department / Former field medical officer.

Current status: Out of contact.

Brief explanation of the cause: During routine testing, due to failure to remove TDD in a timely manner according to the emergency escape protocol, the device was attacked by the [Timeline Reversal] and thrown out of the [Universe].

It has been determined that this is not part of the "Detective Conan" universe.

Final landing point identification: [Type-Moon World-001].

............"

The following content consists of an analysis of her personality and behavioral logic, as well as speculations and analyses of the [Type-Moon world].

Shigenobu Hitomi put down the documents in her hand, turned to look at the head of the [Timeline Research Department] who was in charge of "timeline confirmation," and asked him to confirm the current progress.

"So, the [Time Research Department] still hasn't been able to confirm which timeline she's on?"

To be honest, Bai Zichen couldn't help but feel a bit of a toothache.

This was the first time they had failed to give a definite answer, and this task was related to the funding arrangements for their entire department in the next cycle, or even the entire era!
Although he really wanted to give a definite answer directly.

But under the watchful eyes of many councilors, Bai Zichen finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and give a negative answer.

"At present, based solely on the existence of records in the so-called 'Fuyuki City,' even with the information assistance of His Excellency ZC-01, we are indeed unable to obtain an accurate 'worldline record.'"

This is the first problem the alliance encountered after confirming that Hasegawa Moon fell into the [Type-Moon universe].

Which "world line" or "universe" in the materials provided by ZC-01 is she on?
"Furthermore, even if we obtain precise time information, considering the information about parallel universes mentioned in the data, we cannot draw a definitive conclusion."

As he spoke, Bai Zichen paused, then added an even more crucial point.

"Based on our observations of that [worldview universe], we currently anticipate that the universe designated [Type-Moon] should also be a [shell]."

"Considering the differences between the original data records of 'Detective Conan' provided by Mr. ZC-01 and the actual data of [this universe]..."

Bai Zichen didn't continue speaking, but everyone present already understood what he meant.

This is actually not hard to understand.

Since [Detective Conan Universe-001] is the edge of the [Detective Conan Worldview System], then obviously what intersects with it can only be the edges of other [Worldview Systems].

So how can you be sure that the [Type-Moon Universe-001] into which Hasegawa Moon has fallen doesn't contain some hidden "secrets"?

“However, the Narrative Studies Department specifically mentioned in its analysis that the Alliance currently holds an overwhelming advantage over that worldview universe,” a councilor suddenly said.

Immediately afterwards, the projection in front of everyone slid directly to the section handled by the Narrative Studies Department.

In fact, the Narrative Studies Department specifically emphasized this point in the Report Summary.

The head of the Narrative Studies Department stood up.

He explained to the assembled councilors, "Yes, even if it is a 'shell universe,' given the Alliance's technological level, Hasegawa Tsuki's universe poses absolutely no threat."

"Because the structure of the [Type-Moon Universe] is completely different from that of the [Our Universe]."

"Based on the information currently available, there exists a 'worldview universe' with concepts such as multiple universes and parallel universes."

"Based on data analysis, perhaps the so-called 'Type-Moon universe' we are facing does not have an absolute core like 'Conan Edogawa'."

"In fact, the idea that 'a worldview or universe has an absolute core' is a relatively rare concept, and the appearance of multiple abnormal RSI values ​​is the normal state."

"Instead of a situation like in this universe, where everyone is a derivative of Conan Edogawa's abnormal RSI value."

This is also why the research team ultimately concluded that the universe where Hasegawa Moon is located poses no threat to the Alliance.

As mentioned before, this occurred around the beginning of the second or third cycle.

After receiving data support from ZC-01, the Narrative Studies Department overturned many of its previous analyses of the Shell.

In fact, even Lin Sheng participated in some of the work.

This is related to Lin Sheng's previous confusion about Koizumi Akako's origins.

because--

If she really comes from the "Kaito Kid 1412" universe, then the abnormal RSI value in that universe should logically belong to "Kaito Kuroba".

Furthermore, what if two different [worldview universes] had already "converged" before his arrival...?

Why is it that in the end, it is Koizumi Akako who exhibits an RSI anomaly, while Kuroba Kaito is a derivative of her?
"Therefore, we suspect that the derivation of [Kaito Kuroba] into an anomalous individual named [Akako Koizumi] occurred after the [convergence phenomenon]."

"Furthermore, based on the information obtained from [Conan-002], different [shells] or [worldview universes] have inconsistent internal structures."

In other words, it is very likely that the original "universe" of that red girl abandoned her for some reason.

This is also why Lin Sheng ultimately kept some things from her and even tried to persuade her to stay.

The reason why Koizumi Akako's RSI value is "very low" compared to Edogawa Conan's is...

Perhaps besides the speculation that the "worldview universe" is not a "shell," there is another possibility—that the "core" of that "universe" is not a single entity.

As for Conan Edogawa, who is at the core of this universe, he may very well have taken all the "strength" by himself.

Therefore, simply bringing Hasegawa Moon back from the Type-Moon universe to our own universe doesn't seem to pose much of a threat.

Regardless of which "world line" she fell into.

The very existence of the Type-Moon world, with its virtually infinite number of parallel universes, dictates that the world's power will be extremely dispersed.

Even if it's a "shell universe," that's still true.

"Therefore," the head of the Narrative Department concluded, "as long as we don't actively trigger the mechanism of the shell, we can achieve this simply by finding a way to build a stable route between the two shells."

This is also one of the Alliance's most important missions, besides bringing back members who have "gone missing" in other universes.

How exactly does this [Type-Moon Universe-001] transmit information to [this universe], and how did it capture Hasegawa Moon, who should have fallen into another [Detective Conan universe], and place her there?
"We suspect that this is likely related to a feature of this [worldview universe], namely the 'Heroic Spirit Summoning' system."

The answer given by the Department of Narrative Studies is very characteristic of their department.

"Therefore, perhaps if we analyze the elements respectively called Quantum Fixed Recording Tape, Humanity, Throne of Heroes, and Holy Grail System and improve them using the characteristics of this universe, we can achieve the corresponding effect."

It was precisely because of this that Lin Sheng recently asked Hongzi and Conan to perfect that set of Heroic Spirit panels.

"So, you could actually go there yourself and get her out."

Inside the new universe contained within the Star Tower, Conan couldn't help but glance at Rin Sheng, who was supervising him and Akako as they worked.

"No matter what, according to the speculations of the [CYZ Effect Research Institute] and the [Narrative Studies Department], as long as it doesn't involve affecting all the worlds in the [Type-Moon Universe], you should be able to escape..."

ZC-02's rambling undoubtedly earned it a sharp rebuke from ZC-01.

"Foolish! And you call yourself a detective!"

Lin Sheng refuted Conan's irresponsible statement without hesitation.

"It's obvious to anyone with eyes to see—"

"Yeah."

Conan interrupted Lin Sheng, his tone tinged with helplessness—Ran was still waiting for him!

"Anyone with eyes can see that it's a trap, but the problem is you're not going to attack that [universe]..."

To be honest, Conan was truly at his wit's end.

The last time I dragged Xiaolan to the Detective Park, I ended up getting carried away again.

Despite having the opportunity to rescue the hostages and catch the culprit with Xiaolan, he instinctively abandoned her and ran away.

After all, who could refuse Sherlock Holmes as their partner?
"Shinichi——!"

Ran's anger was so intense that it felt like fire was licking Conan's face.

"Who is more important, Sherlock Holmes or me?!"

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but sigh.

There's also the antidote. It seems that Haibara is still angry with him. Every time he goes to ask for the antidote, he gets subjected to all sorts of wicked "research".

Conan really can't understand what these women are thinking.

Even though Ms. Miyano and Ms. Akemi forgave him.

Even when I apologized to everyone back then, Haibara accepted it happily.

etc--?!

Conan's wandering thoughts finally subsided, and he abruptly turned to look at Lin Sheng.

"Lin Sheng, you're not going to destroy that universe too, are you?!"

Lin Sheng looked at Conan with disdain.

This guy is hopeless.

"I'm saying! You're the second member of the [core layer]!"

After Koizumi Akako habitually used TDD to turn off her hearing, Conan was met with an angry reprimand from ZC-01, who could no longer tolerate it.

"Could you please take a look at those intelligence reports that are only accessible to the [core layer]?!"

Lin Sheng then practically smeared those "intelligence" reports on Conan's face.

He was genuinely exhausted.

When he first brought Conan into the "core layer," his most important purpose was to hope that Conan would use his unparalleled "deduction" skills to help analyze the current situation facing the alliance.

"I know you want to maintain your 'persona,' but the problem is, didn't I already give you permission to invoke the CYZ effect?"

"Why don't you actually use it!"

"I just think... this is just too undetective..."

Conan's voice grew weaker and weaker under Lin Sheng's angry glare.

Yes, that's why Conan hasn't been of any real help during this time, aside from designing his own [Heroic Spirit Panel].

This guy wants to use his "ability" to deduce all the answers the league needs.

And the result?

Those titles like "An Introduction to Timeline Theory," "The TDD Usage Guidelines Every Alliance Baby Must Know," and "The Shell, the Worldview, and the Art of Alliance Building"...

The books lay quietly on Conan's desk, looking brand new, with hardly any pages turned.

Even with unlimited time, this guy still avoids any aspect of "learning".

"In short, if you don't choose either method next time, I'll adjust the timeline to the 'Hawaii Special Training' period." With Conan's disgruntled gaze, Lin Sheng concluded the matter and briefly explained the true difficulty of this mission to Conan.

"First of all, according to the partial data transmitted back by Hasegawa Tsuki's TDD, she did not encounter the timeline problem that Imai encountered in the [Detective Conan 002 Universe]."

This point was reported separately by the [CYZ Effect Research Institute] to the [Execution Level] and to ZC-01 and ZC-02 themselves.

—Although Conan didn’t listen at all.

"What a coincidence, don't you think?" Of course, Lin Sheng's tone clearly didn't imply that it was a coincidence at all.

"You mean, she was targeted the moment she went there?"

“Very likely.” Lin Sheng nodded. “Logically speaking, simply maintaining the state of the [Timeline] shouldn’t be enough for the other recording functions of TDD to work for that long.”

It's important to understand that the "timeline" in the Conan Universe-001 has a completely different meaning from the "timeline" in the conventional physical sense!
In this universe, it could be a real, substantial entity, driven by the brilliance of Conan Edogawa, capable of moving towards the future or the past.

Just like the predicament that Akemi Miyano once faced—

If you cannot ensure its continuation and progress, your personal "historical process" will come to a standstill!
This can lead to situations where, if you are not in a loop, or have the help of the CYZ effect or magic...

This universe might just "reset" you!
"Based on Imai's discovery in the [Detective Conan Universe-002], there is no such thing as a 'timeline' there at all."

"As for the research layer, based on the data he sent back, they obtained a life form named 'rendering degree' or 'existence index'."

Now, based on the data transmitted back by Hasegawa Moon, we can analyze the data.

Her TDD account not only maintained her "timeline" but also kept a historical record for nearly a year.

"What if the structure of that universe is similar to ours?"

“That’s possible.” Lin Sheng didn’t refute Conan’s question, “but its system still shouldn’t be universal.”

Lin Sheng paused, then looked at Conan with a strange expression in his eyes.

He spoke softly, revealing one of his greatest discoveries during this period.

"Did you know, Conan? Different shells have completely different internal systems."

—Lin Sheng has already been to the [Detective Conan Universe-002] once, projecting it using the CYZ effect.

I wonder if anyone still remembers.

At the very beginning, when Ms. Miyano and Akemi Miyano successfully achieved the great feat of "magicalizing the timeline" due to the CYZ effect—

"Conan, I mentioned before that, in a sense, all the CYZ effects are part of me, right?"

Therefore, when Lin Sheng projected the CYZ effect, it finally connected with Imai Hayato.

His first attempt was to try to "reverse" Imai Hayato's timeline using the original story timeline, hoping to extricate him from the situation.

“But I failed,” Lin Sheng said softly.

Conan was a little surprised.

"Is it because, as you just said, different shells should have completely different internal systems?"

"Yes……"

Lin Sheng couldn't help but think of that indescribable [Detective Conan Universe - 003]—

"Forward" and "backward" are "enlarged" and "shrunken" respectively;
"The passage of time" is a "leap" and "flip" within "intervals";
"Death" is turning "gray"...

Lin Sheng stared intently into Conan's eyes and asked him:

"If a universe doesn't have a 'timeline,' or even a 'time,' how would you influence it?"

This is why Lin Sheng felt both relieved and somewhat pessimistic after establishing that the "shell universe" actually refers to the "worldview universe".

Without a doubt, in the current "Detective Conan Universe-001", the CYZ Alliance has nothing to fear from any enemy.

"Conan, logically speaking, the existence of crossing [worldview universes] and [worldview systems] should not exist."

"To give an example, if a 'Harry Potter' came to our universe, he would first find that he needs something called a 'timeline,' or even the 'timeline' in the 'Detective Conan Universe-001.'"

Conan's expression finally turned serious, and he added the remaining conclusions from Lin Sheng:

"But if he hadn't known about [Detective Conan Universe-001] before, he wouldn't have been able to do this, right?"

"yes……"

Lin Sheng looked at the CYZ effect surrounding him, his tone inscrutable.

"Even if he knew, so what? Did such a thing exist in his original [worldview universe]?"

"Conan, do you know? Before I came into this world, I really enjoyed reading a genre of novels called 'fantasy martial arts'. And those worlds might be made up of what is called 'the Dao'."

Lin Sheng waved his hand.

He used the CYZ effect to anchor himself and Conan, allowing them to see the state of the "golden threads" slowly flowing in the pure white void.

"In the shell we are in, there is only the 'timeline,' and everything else is there."

Lin Sheng then revealed the most helpless and terrifying guess about the Worldview and Universe Research Institute's defense mechanism against the Shell.

"So what's the point of me creating more universes within this shell? Even if you could create an infinite number of parallel universes, or even an infinite multiverse, within the shell under extreme conditions, what's the point?"

Lin Sheng's voice turned unusually cold in an instant.

"Perhaps someone has already tried to get into this [shell] in the past, and then 'died' in an instant."

Lin Sheng paused, then looked up at the sky, as if trying to see through the entire expanse to the outside world.

He then expressed his opinion with a certain indescribable feeling.

"Because... it's like a 'work of art'."

Conan was taken aback and subconsciously looked at him.

Looking at Conan, who still seemed a little confused, Lin Sheng gave an example.

"Conan, you know Genta likes watching 'Kamen Rider,' right?"

"Mm." Conan nodded.

"What if you and he got into a fight? Who do you think would win?"

Now, Conan fully understood Lin Sheng's meaning, and he frowned.

"According to your explanation, these shouldn't be comparable at all, right?"

“Yes, that’s right.” Lin Sheng nodded. “If the so-called ‘Masked Superman’ came to your location, he would most likely be ‘frozen’ in an instant, and vice versa.”

"This has nothing to do with your or 'Kamen Rider's' original strength; it's simply because—comparing across different worldviews is completely impossible."

As he said this, he glanced at Koizumi Akako standing next to him.

Koizumi Akako clearly realized this as well, and slightly held her breath.

"This is the main reason why I advised Akako not to leave the [Detective Conan Universe-001]."

Then he pointed to Conan, who looked completely innocent.

"If I'm not mistaken... this guy is truly 'invincible' in the [Detective Conan Universe-001], which means..."

—The alliance now has an absolutely stable and absolutely secure base.

"Why does the CYZ effect work?"

"And what about Imai and Hasegawa? They went to those two different 'shells' and survived?"

Conan quickly discovered a problem with Lin Sheng's deduction.

"Furthermore, according to this logic, Miss Akako shouldn't actually have a 'complete timeline,' right?"

“That’s right.” Lin Sheng did not deny it.

He nodded, looked at the two people in front of him, and said slowly and solemnly, "So, this is what we need to try to figure out next."

—Clearly, all of this is related to the shell's defense mechanism, and it may even be far more complex than the Alliance currently understands.

At this moment, Koizumi Akako finally understood completely.

Hongzi now finally understands why Lin Sheng asked her to assist Conan in building the system known as the "Heroic Spirit Panel".

"So we created a [Heroic Spirit Panel] to avoid that... that 'instant death upon landing' situation?"

Lin Sheng nodded, then he added some tasks for Hongzi—

After all, she is also the head of the Red Magic Research Bureau.

"Well, besides this set of [Heroic Spirit Panel], Hongzi, I'd also like to trouble you to create a set of [CYZ Alliance Magic Baseboard]."

"You can combine the Seven Chapters Sutra and the information from the Magic Research Department to do this, just don't tell the department the truth."

……

And after all these preparations were completed.

In that distant, other worldview universe called [Type-Moon Universe-001].

A faint tremor from the depths of the heavens swept by.

It has been about three months since the alliance last sent those documents.

While Hasegawa Tsuki was organizing the information she had collected about Fuyuki City, as usual.

The TDD on her wrist started flashing.

Although it was an extremely faint flicker, the vibrant green light indicated where the signal was coming from.

"Hasegawa Tsuki, you have now been assigned to the [CYZ Alliance] - [Action and Exploration Layer] - [Narrative Shadow] Task Force."

"Please follow the instructions and arrive in Fuyuki City, Japan before 1994."

—This is quite a coincidence.

The Fourth Holy Grail War, like Detective Conan, began in 1994.
-
P.S.: Tomorrow we officially enter the [Type-Moon] arc. I originally planned to start writing today with Hasegawa Tsuki's actions.

However, considering the discussion I saw yesterday about [combat power], I decided to write this chapter first.

To prevent Q-readers from missing this, and also because I'm worried that people might not read the author's comments, and because this point is indeed very important, I've included it in the main text.

Although Lin Sheng's reasoning is inaccurate in some parts, the author will state it directly here.

The idea of ​​comparing combat power across different worldviews is virtually impossible in this book.

No matter how strong you are within this worldview, once you leave your own worldview system (i.e., your work), no one will recognize you. The mechanism of the "shell" will teach you a lesson.

As I've said before, the power system in this book isn't a plot hole.

As for the [CYZ effect] and the protagonist, don't worry, there will be a reasonable explanation later.

P.S.: Also, please, please, please do not apply the system and world-building of this book to other works, or even cause controversy. Thank you everyone!!!
