Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"If this place is destroyed now, these lives will perish along with the divine realm."

"..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka fell silent again.

Choosing between Tokyo and the Divine Realm... this situation brought back some unpleasant memories for her.

"senior……"

Mashu understood Fujimaru Ritsuka's thoughts perfectly well, and immediately showed a worried expression, unable to help but speak up:

"Or, why don't we go back and discuss it with everyone at Chaldea to see if there are any other solutions?"

"It's okay, I'm already..."

Upon hearing Mashu's words, Fujimaru Ritsuka gave a forced smile, but as she spoke, she seemed to belatedly realize something and suddenly fell into deep thought.

"and many more."

Are there any other solutions?

She murmured those words, then, as if lost in thought, looked up at Tenochtitlan and asked:

"If it were Gaia, could she restore everything to normal without damaging this place?"

"I think it should be fine, provided we have enough power."

Tenochtitlan was also somewhat uncertain, but as long as the answer wasn't negative, that was enough for Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"I have an idea I'd like to try. Please wait a moment while I go find Gaia."

After saying this to everyone, Fujimaru Ritsuka thought to herself:

Earl, please help me!

'……good.'

The next moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly staggered, her eyes became difficult to open, and she uncontrollably collapsed onto Mashu, falling into a deep sleep.

"Eh?!"

The sudden turn of events startled Hina Amano, who asked nervously and worriedly:

"What happened to Ritsuka? Is she alright?!"

Mashu helped Fujimaru Ritsuka sit down, placed her head on her lap, and looked at her sleeping face with a nostalgic smile:

"It should be fine. This is one of the senior's special skills, REM sleep."

She was a little confused, wondering what Fujimaru Ritsuka's plan was and what use it was to find Gaia.

-

"mom!"

As soon as Fujimaru Ritsuka opened her eyes, she saw Gaia standing obediently in front of her, and asked with a mixture of confusion and curiosity:

"What do you want from me?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka asked:

Did you hear our conversation within the divine realm?

"No."

Upon hearing this, Gaia pointed her index finger, somewhat aggrieved, and said:

"I can't see what's happening inside the divine realm; I can only sense you calling me, Mom."

"Forehead……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka paused for a moment, then had to admit that Mash's analysis was indeed very reasonable.

This Gaia is indeed a bit weak.

"Is such that……"

So, Fujimaru Ritsuka gave her a general overview of the current situation, but out of consideration for her pride, she omitted the part about Mashu's speculation about her strength.

"No wonder they've been ignoring me, now I understand!"

The young and ignorant Gaia didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but suddenly realized and clapped his hands.

Then, she asked with some anticipation:

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"certainly,"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded and said:

"This is just an idea of ​​mine, if it can be done..."

Chapter 367 Gaia Descends, But in the Wrong Way

"Hmm."

Within the divine realm, Mash and the others did not wait long. Suddenly, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was lying on Mash's lap, unconsciously groaned and slowly opened her eyes.

"Senior, you wake up!"

Upon noticing that Fujimaru Ritsuka had woken up, Mashu called out to her happily, but then suddenly froze.

For a fleeting moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka's aura suddenly changed, becoming extremely unfamiliar, as if she were a completely different person.

However, this change lasted only a very short time. In the blink of an eye, it had returned to its original state, and she was once again enveloped by the familiar aura of her senior, as if nothing had ever happened.

But Mashu was certain that it was not her imagination, because not only her, but Tenochtitlan, who was standing next to her, also noticed the change in Fujimaru Ritsuka, and his expression became vigilant. He also silently gave her a look.

So, Mashu asked with some concern:

"Um, senior, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka stood up, looked at her hands, and looked somewhat puzzled, because this was not what she had expected.

"Why is nothing wrong? Did we fail?"

In her plan, it should be normal for her to 'have something to do,' and the current situation is the abnormal behavior.

"Eh?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's answer left Mash and the others looking puzzled. Then, Mash hesitated before speaking:

"Actually, it can't be said that nothing happened at all. Although it only lasted for a very short time, it was as if you were a completely different person just now."

"Really?!"

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes lit up, but then she frowned in confusion.

Then, amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, she closed her eyes and silently called out in her heart:

'Gaia, are you there?'

'I'm here, Mom!'

A familiar voice echoed in her heart, and Gaia called out joyfully:

'We think we succeeded! I'm now inside you, and I can even see the outside world through your eyes!'

Then, she began to comment on the scenery before her.

'So this is what the interior of the Divine Realm looks like? Hmph, it's just so-so.'

Despite saying that, judging from her resentful tone, such an evaluation seems unfair.

For Gaia, the scene before her was more of an offense—being on her territory yet not being allowed to interfere—and the resulting anger and resentment.

Meanwhile, after confirming that Gaia was indeed inside her body at this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at her hands again and murmured with some doubt:

"Did you make it?"

But this is not quite what she expected.

The method Fujimaru Ritsuka came up with was a common way for many of Chaldea's divine Servants to manifest in the world—

[Possession]

The gods are still living beings, but because the mysterious environment on the Earth's surface is no longer suitable for their survival, they have all left the surface and gone to the inner part of the planet.

The Heroic Spirits on the Throne of Heroes are the guardians of humanity, the beings who became legends after their deaths, and the objects of faith for the heroes whose great deeds became objects of worship.

In other words, gods, heroic spirits, the Throne of Heroes, and the heroic spirit summoning system are completely unrelated.

Therefore, in theory, gods cannot be summoned through the Heroic Spirit system.

The reason why there are so many divine Servants in Chaldea today is because the gods used cheating techniques to manifest in the world, disguising themselves as Servants that can be summoned.

Possession is one of the most common cheating techniques used by gods.

The so-called "possession" simply means possession. A god possesses a human body, and the nature of the spirit origin is downgraded from god to human, thus barely meeting the conditions for being summoned by the Heroic Spirit system.

In addition, [possession] is also divided into several different types:

One type is like most of the divine servants in Chaldea, who simply borrow human bodies, but their personality, will, and memories are still those of the gods themselves; it's just that their character is influenced by the physical body to varying degrees.

Another type is like Mashu, who is given power by the possessor, but her personality and will remain her own.

Back to the point.

As the consciousness of Earth, Gaia should theoretically have the ability to interfere with this dissipating divine realm, but due to her own weakness, she is unable to do so.

While Fujimaru Ritsuka is an ordinary human, in terms of pure strength, she can say, without being too modest, that...

There are still some.

Therefore, her solution was to have Gaia possess her body and combine their powers to try to solve the current problem.

only,

Originally, she had envisioned that if the possession was successful, Gaia would temporarily become the dominant being in her body, like the divine servants in Chaldea, and use her power to solve problems.

But now it seems like things have turned out like Mashu's situation.
