Chapter 221 The Changed Future

Romani looked incredulous; he had never seen anything like it before.

This world is not an isolated existence; it contains countless parallel worlds.

However, these worlds are not parallel lines that never intersect.

On the contrary, no matter how different the processes may be in different worlds, human history exhibits a strong tendency to converge at certain key junctures.

The decline of the Age of Gods made humanity the true protagonist of the planet;
The Crusades profoundly altered the landscape of civilizations in the East and West;

The brilliance of the Renaissance reignited the flame of humanistic thought;
The roar of the Industrial Revolution completely opened the door to modern society...

These major historical events are indestructible "convergence points," which together form the cornerstone of "human reason," ensuring that human civilizations in all parallel worlds can continue forward along a predetermined and stable trajectory.

The mastermind behind it all, the culprit behind the burning of humanity, created wedges called "singularities" by dropping extraordinary Holy Grails at these crucial "convergence points," thereby shaking and burning the entirety of human history from its very foundation.

However, the Fuyuki Singularity of 1994 is a completely different matter.

In Chaldea's initial observations, it was merely an insignificant "micro-singularity" with weak energy reactions and extremely limited influence. It might even have been corrected by the world's suppressive forces before Chaldea intervened.

They got involved because the first anomaly they experienced was in this city, and they might be able to find some clues.

However, this seemingly insignificant little point has, since just now, begun to have an influence that erodes and extends into the "future" of the timeline in a way that defies common sense.

The history after 1994, the future that should have been recorded and confirmed, began to deviate from the course of human history.

This scale is no longer just a simple singularity, but is evolving into the scale of a parallel world...

What...what on earth happened?!
Romani's heart was screaming wildly, and an unprecedented chill climbed up his spine to the top of his head.

……

Meanwhile, in a villa on the outskirts of Fuyuki City
Kenneth El-Melloi sat gracefully on the sofa as he listened to the carefully crafted intelligence report from El-Melloi II.

"According to the intelligence we have, the Greater Grail in Fuyuki was already corrupted during the Third Holy Grail War sixty years ago."

"It is no longer an omnipotent wish-granting machine, but a source of calamity capable of destroying the world."

Our mission is to dismantle it completely before it is activated.

El-Melloi II's voice was steady and powerful. He looked directly at his former teacher and began to deliver his prepared speech.

Upon hearing this, Kenneth's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

His original purpose was to persuade Irisviel with the information that the Holy Grail had been corrupted.

After all, the reason the Holy Grail was corrupted was because the Einzbern family summoned a young man with the same name as the evil god during the Third Holy Grail War.

Therefore, only the Einzbern family would believe his story...

Now that the future El-Melloi II has taken the initiative to propose this plan, it saves him a lot of trouble.

"I see. If the Holy Grail is really as you say, then this Holy Grail War is meaningless."

Since we share the same goal, cooperation is only natural.

Kenneth pondered for a moment and then agreed to the request for cooperation.

The two sides reached an agreement and headed to the Einzbern family's castle in the forest outside the city early the next morning for final negotiations. After Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu disappeared outside the villa, the hall returned to silence.

Kenneth's composure and reserve vanished instantly, replaced by an almost fanatical, scholarly excitement.

"Different timelines..."

"I never imagined that in the not-too-distant future after my time, humanity would have developed a technology like time travel!"

This is simply a miracle that can only be achieved in the realm of magic!
However, after the initial euphoria, a huge question arose in his mind.

Why was such a significant act, which was enough to overturn common sense, not corrected by "inhibition"?
According to his understanding, there are two subjective corrective forces in this world.

One is "Gaia," the will of the planet itself, whose sole purpose is to ensure the planet's long-term survival.

The second is "Alaya," the collective subconscious of all primates, whose every action is aimed at ensuring the continuation of the "human" species.

Traveling through time and altering history is undoubtedly the greatest threat to the stability of human history.

In theory, the Alaya consciousness should spare no effort to completely eliminate such a dangerous organization as "Chaldea".

unless……

Unless, within the judgment system of "restraint," what the Chaldea group did was "just" and "permitted"!

I see……

At that moment, Kenneth felt he had grasped the crucial clue hidden beneath the fog.

Chaldea may be hiding deeper information, some enormous crisis concerning the survival of humanity that is inconvenient for him, a "person of the past," to know.

It is precisely because they are fighting against that crisis that Alaya condones their almost illegal behavior.

This discovery opened up a whole new possibility for Kenneth.

He had always harbored a vague unease that his own death in this world, and Waver Velvet's ascension to the throne as El-Melloi II, might be some kind of unshakeable "predetermined course," and that any attempt to change it would be met with strong intervention from Alaya.

However, it now seems that the criteria for judging Alaya are quite lenient, so lenient that they can even allow the existence of an organization like Chaldea that has mastered time travel technology.

That leaves a lot of room for maneuver...

In Kenneth's eyes, the flames of ambition burned fiercely.

As long as... as long as Alaya believes that his survival, Kenneth El-Mello Archibald's survival, is more conducive to the continuation of the "human" race than the original historical trajectory, then the so-called "fate" is not unchangeable!
For him now, achieving this is not difficult.

Because he possesses knowledge and technology far beyond this era, enough to instantly leap forward the entire course of human civilization!

Space elevator, quantum computer, controlled nuclear fusion of heavy particles, planetary engine, strong artificial intelligence, digital life...

In a world on the verge of destruction, humanity unleashed unprecedented potential in its struggle for survival, creating these technologies that can only be described as miracles.

If he were to replicate any one of these technologies in this world, it would greatly accelerate the development of human history.

At that time, for Alaya, whose mission is to maintain the development of human history, is a world that systematically cultivates the monarch El-Melloi II more valuable, or a world in which he, Kenneth, personally initiates the Great Cosmic Era?
The answer is self-evident.
