Chapter 212 Differences in the World

If that's the case, things get quite complicated...

Kenneth fell into deep thought. Although it had not yet been verified, it was not possible.

If his death is the "convergence point" of a certain worldline, the "cornerstone" that sustains the future, then escaping the Holy Grail War might not be a wise move.

The more you try to avoid fate, the more cruel and absurd it tends to come to you.

Thinking of this, Kenneth raised his left hand, his gaze falling on the three blood-red Command Seals.

A few days ago, his good-for-nothing student, Weber Velvet, had already gone to Fuyuki with his carefully prepared relic—a fragment of Iskandar the Conqueror's cloak.

His predecessor, the "prodigy" who was blinded by arrogance and honor, boasted throughout the Clock Tower that he would travel to Fuyuki City in the east to add the Holy Grail, a brilliant medal, to the glory of the Archibald family.

Now that things have come to this, if he were to desert his post, he would surely become a laughingstock in the entire magic world, and his reputation as a monarch would be completely destroyed.

Moreover, he has now developed a certain interest in the Holy Grail War.

According to intelligence, this ritual is closely related to the third magic, "Heaven's Cup (Soul Materialization)," and is of great research value.

Considering both of the above points, he is more inclined to participate in the Holy Grail War...

However, then we can't proceed according to the original plan.

The original owner was indeed a genius. Through research on the Command Seals in his hand, he developed a unique technology that allowed another person to share the burden of providing magical energy to the Servant.

This was partly to show off his skills, and partly to keep his fiancée Sora by his side.

On the one hand, it was to make her a mobile "magic battery" so as not to affect his magical abilities.

On the other hand, it was to fully display his masculine bravery in front of beautiful women.

Kenneth casually opened the drawer, inside which was a thick stack of love letters neatly stacked, filled with his predecessor's almost pathological love and admiration for Sora.

He couldn't help but shake his head, his expression quite helpless.

There have been rumors within the Clock Tower that Sora, the daughter of the Lord of the Spirit Conjuring Department, may have used some kind of bewitching magic on the child prodigy of their Archibald family.

But according to the memories Kenneth inherited, the truth is much simpler: it was simply love at first sight.

He pushed the stack of love letters back into the depths of the drawer, as if bidding farewell to a foolish past.

Therefore, the plan needs some adjustments.

Sola is absolutely not allowed.

To carry a time bomb that could stab you in the back at any moment just to save a few magic points is incredibly stupid.

The candidates for Heroic Spirits must also be replaced.

Although Diarmuid Ua Duibhne is a highly skilled and powerful Heroic Spirit, his abilities are far from sufficient in this Holy Grail War, a battle of gods.

Their Noble Phantasms, "Red Rose of Exorcism" and "Yellow Rose of Destruction," might give them an advantage in one-on-one battles, but this time, neither the Hero King with "Gate of Babylon" nor the Conqueror King with "Army of Kings" can be defeated by just two spears.

However, before summoning the Heroic Spirits, there is something even more important to confirm... which of the knowledge from that other world can be transformed into real power in this world.

Kenneth closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the ocean of [information].

First, there's the Naruto world's system, which is based on chakra and relies on the fusion of spiritual and physical energy.

In this world, he only possesses magical power and is unable to refine that unique energy.

As for EVA and Guyver armor, they are simply out of the question.

He currently does not have the necessary equipment to verify this.

Moreover, the technology in these two worlds is based on reverse engineering of super-lifeforms such as "Apostles" and "Beast Gods," built from scratch, which is something that human technology cannot accomplish.

While the Zanpakuto in the Bleach world are also products of technology, the core manufacturing method of "Asauchi" is, according to Mayuri Kurotsuchi, an absolute secret known only to the Zero Division.

So, what about the realm of ghosts?

Kenneth's heart stirred, and he tried to chant the incantation of the fourth Path of Destruction, "White Lightning," in a low voice, just as he remembered it.

But despite the chanting, nothing unusual happened... Sure enough...

Kenneth understood.

The essence of magic in this world is the "reproduction" of natural phenomena. It is about learning the mysterious, practicing the mysterious, and recreating the mysterious, but it cannot "create" the mysterious out of thin air.

Magicians are like people who use tools to harness sunlight; they must rely on the "sun" as their core to unleash their power.

The conditions for its use are magic circuits and magic base plates. The former is an organ in his body used to convert and store magic power, absorbing the "major source" magic power from the external environment and converting it into the "minor source" within his body.

The latter, however, is a more crucial entity; it is a system that is collectively inscribed on the planet by human beliefs, myths, and legends.

The Grim Reaper's Kido system clearly doesn't exist in this world...

However, this is quite similar to some of the discoveries made by Zhuge Qing in the world of "Under One Person".

That being the case...

Kenneth's thoughts raced again. He abandoned his attempt at the Ghost Path and instead tried the Qimen Dunjia technique.

This time, unlike before, his magic circuits responded instantly and clearly, and his magic began to operate along a completely new path.

At his fingertips, a blurry Bagua pattern made of light flashed by, followed by a faint flame that seemed about to go out at any moment, flickering gently.

So weak...

Looking at the flame, which was even more pitiful than a lighter's flame, Kenneth couldn't help but frown.

He recalled the information in his mind: the mystery of the Type-Moon world was fading with the development of the times, the gods had disappeared, the fantasy species had died out, and the protagonist of the world had become humans.

The reason for this is that the true ether of the atmosphere has also become the ether of the fictional element...

According to his understanding, the main reason for this phenomenon is the change in the "environment," just as dinosaurs could not adapt to the Ice Age and eventually went extinct, the composition of the modern atmosphere can no longer support the huge bodies of dinosaurs.

However, the Chinese region of this world is different. According to the memories of their predecessors, the immortals who inherited the legacy from the Age of Gods seem to have used some amazing means to establish a system similar to "Simulated Root" to maintain the environment of the Age of Gods.

This is equivalent to using incredible technology to build a Jurassic Park in modern society, allowing those "dinosaurs" that should have gone extinct to survive and unleash divine power far exceeding modern magic.

So, the reason why his Qimen Dunjia techniques are so weak may be because he lacks a connection with the magic system in the Chinese region?

"This is really interesting..."

Kenneth couldn't help but smile, his eyes sparkling with the fervor and curiosity of a scholar.

This world is far more interesting than he imagined.

However, no matter how interesting a theory is, you have to survive first before you can have a chance to study it...

Besides this, the Word of Power in the world of Dragon Raja, that ability that relies entirely on the bloodline of the dragon race, is equally useless to him.

After eliminating all possibilities, is this all that's left?

Kenneth's eyes sharpened.

He activated the magic circuit again. This time, he did not form hand seals or chant, but instead extended his index finger and slowly traced lines in the void.

His movements were extremely focused, as if he were performing a sacred ritual. As his fingertips moved, several unique characters made of pure magic appeared in the air.

These are runes from the Marvel universe, passed down from the god-king Odin.

This is not merely text, but rather the understanding and record of the laws of the universe by that divine father.

However, the moment the first rune was formed, a sudden change occurred!
Before Kenneth could even sense the nature of this power, the Command Seal on the back of his left hand suddenly burst forth with a blinding crimson light, and a burning, stinging sensation instantly spread throughout his body, causing his magic to begin to drain away.

Huh? This is... a summoning response?!

Kenneth was stunned by what he saw. He never expected that the summoning ritual of the Heroic Spirit would be forcibly activated under such circumstances.

Is it because I'm writing runes? Why?!
