Chapter 220 Chaldea and the Anomaly
"According to my intelligence, you are not among the participants in this Holy Grail War..."

Kenneth went straight to the point and asked.

King El-Melloi II took a deep breath, suppressing the complex emotions surging within him.

“Sir Kenneth, we are Miss Reines’s agents.”

He bowed slightly, performing a standard Clock Tower aristocratic greeting, and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

This is a great opportunity.

He knew better than anyone that his teacher was participating in the Holy Grail War primarily out of a desire to prove his excellence to the world and to his fiancée.

They have no obsession with the Holy Grail's omnipotent wish-granting power.

If a suitable entry point can be found, persuading him is not impossible.

"Oh? Reines?"

Kenneth raised an eyebrow slightly, a playful smile curving his lips.

"My niece? If I remember correctly, she is only five years old this year and has not yet formally begun to learn the demonic path. She should not have a proxy as skilled in the arts of divination as you?"

According to the original historical trajectory, after his death in Fuyuki, it was this little girl who inherited the family business with swift and decisive means and put Waver on the throne.

If the other person mentions his niece's name at this point, then it's highly likely that she really is the future one...

“I was not lying,”

King El-Melloi II raised his head to meet the scrutinizing gaze and explained in a calm tone,
"However, that will happen in the not-too-distant future."

"Oh? A time traveler?"

Kenneth's eyes finally lit up with genuine interest.

It wasn't surprise or doubt, but rather the scholarly fervor of discovering a rare treasure.

"That's right..."

"But are you prepared to receive these messages that might overturn common sense about the world right here?"

El-Melloi II then spoke.

Kenneth nodded approvingly upon hearing this.

He turned and gestured "please," gracefully guiding the way:

"Then please follow me."

The group followed Kenneth away from the messy beach and arrived at a quiet villa located on the outskirts of Fuyuki City.

Seeing this unfamiliar stronghold, El-Melloi II's doubts deepened.

In his memory, the teacher's base in Fuyuki should be the penthouse suite of the Hyatt Hotel, not this villa.

More importantly, he never sensed the woman's presence—Sola Nazele Sofiali—from beginning to end.

This is so abnormal.

In his memory, a large part of the reason his teacher participated in this Holy Grail War was to prove his martial prowess to his beautiful fiancée.

Magicians are mostly detached creatures, but his teacher Kenneth was a rare exception.

After inheriting the title "El-Melloi II", he found a large number of handwritten love letters written by his teacher in a dusty drawer in his office.

My beautiful beloved, your eyes hold a radiance like morning dew...

Your smile is enough to dim the stars in the sky and put the flowers on the ground to shame...

Each letter was more cheesy than the last, the fervent emotions practically overflowing from the yellowed pages.

But in this singularity, this affectionate teacher didn't bring Sora, whom he loved so madly, but instead traveled with the mysterious Grand Puppeteer, Aozaki Touko.

What's going on? Could it be... that the teacher has fallen for someone else?
Could it be that this is the reason that the singularity was formed?
Stepping into the villa's lobby, the soft lighting dispelled the chill of the night.

Kenneth casually walked to the sofa and snapped his fingers.

"Serve these two ladies some snacks."

With a crisp snap of his fingers, a mass of silvery liquid metal emerged from the shadows beneath his feet, wriggled, and deformed, finally coalescing into an elegant figure dressed in a standard maid outfit. It nodded, then lifted its skirt and walked into the kitchen.

This is naturally the [Moon Spirit Essence Liquid], but he made some changes based on how his future niece would use it.

"Oh my god! Is that the Terminator?"

Upon seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes lit up instantly, and she let out a sigh that was a mixture of excitement and surprise.

"Ha~"

"If that's the case, there are indeed some similarities."

Upon hearing this, Kenneth couldn't help but chuckle. Using mercury as a medium, it was indeed hard not to think of that classic sci-fi character on the silver screen.

He sat down leisurely on the sofa in the main seat, crossed his legs, and fixed his gaze on El-Melloi II once again.

"Alright, tell me about time travelers."

El-Melloi II gathered his thoughts and gave a carefully crafted, concise explanation of the existence of Chaldea.

"I see... Observing and projecting the past onto your simulated Earth model, and then applying spirit transfer technology referenced from the Heroic Spirit Summoning System..."

After listening, Kenneth tapped his fingertips lightly on the armrest of the sofa.
"This made all of this possible through the spirit particle computer... But that seems to be Atlas Institute technology, doesn't it?"

He grasped the core principles of the system almost instantly.

The technical challenge lies in establishing an absolutely accurate world model and a foolproof positioning system.

If a spirit quantum calculus machine exists, it is theoretically feasible.

However, the resources and technologies required to build and operate such a massive system are far beyond what a single organization can easily undertake.

"Yes……"

El-Melloi II's expression was serious and sincere, as if stating an undeniable fact.

"The success of this system in the end is entirely due to your exceptional talent and unparalleled leadership."

It was under your leadership that the top research results from various systems, including the Clock Tower, the Atlas Institute, and even the Wandering Sea, were integrated, ultimately leading to the creation of the great 'Chaldea'...

He talked nonsense with a straight face, without blushing or skipping a beat.

Upon hearing these words, Mash and Ritsuka Fujimaru behind him were both stunned.

The Chaldea system was created by the family of former Director Olga Marie Animusfia, who spent generations of their lives to create it!
Is it necessary to go to such lengths to flatter someone?

Fujimaru Ritsuka mentally ranted, while Mashu couldn't help but adjust her glasses.

"I see……"

Kenneth stroked his chin, speaking thoughtfully.

It is indeed possible; in his memory, the Animusfia family was indeed engaged in such research.

He also has the quantum computer technology from the Wandering Earth series as a foundation for the computing device, and he does indeed intend to develop this computing tool first.

If the other party asks him for a favor because of this, he wouldn't refuse something so interesting...

In order to accomplish this, it was only natural to integrate the resources of the various organizations...

Seriously? You just accepted it like that?
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Kenneth's matter-of-fact expression and roared inwardly.

Just how confident is this person? Doesn't he have any doubts at all?

Meanwhile, on the distant other side of time and space, in front of the command center of Chaldea.

Romani Archman was leisurely sipping his coffee, his gaze casually sweeping over the data flashing on the screen.

However, the next second, he froze, and the coffee in his mouth sprayed out completely, tracing an awkward arc in the air.

His eyes widened, and he stared in horror at the data of a particular anomaly on the screen.

That point began to extend into the future at an incredible speed...

"This...how is this possible?!"
