Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Mashu's pupils contracted slightly. Such a massive and shocking amount of information left her mind blank for a moment, making it difficult for her to think.

At the same time, a huge wave of questions arose.

"But why...?"

"This is actually quite easy to understand, isn't it?"

Sesshouin Kiara smiled and said:

"That's because—the existence of Masters, or rather, the new Chaldea centered around Masters, has seriously threatened the safety of the world, you know?"

"how come……"

Mashu instinctively wanted to defend Fujimaru Ritsuka, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she seemed to suddenly remember something and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Skaia, with a helpless shrug, said:

"I must say, our Master is truly remarkable. To be able to gather so many dangerous individuals in Chaldea is something that even I sometimes find a little frightening."

Upon hearing this, Draco scoffed:

"Don't play innocent. Aren't you one of the 'dangerous elements' too?"

"Of course I don't deny it. However..."

Scaya, the Light Soaring, retorted with a chuckle:

"You, who come out dressed as a Beast, don't seem to have the right to talk about me, who's just a lowly Assassin, do you?"

"Humph!"

That's all there is to it.

Ignoring the two beasts locked in a fierce confrontation, Goetia continued:

"The power of Neo-Chaldea gathered by Fujimaru Ritsuka is too great, reaching a point where it can easily destroy humanity and even the entire Earth. Moreover, it is an uncontrollable power that seriously threatens the two Counter Forces."

"So this time, the two major restraining forces created a restraining barrier specifically targeting Fujimaru Ritsuka."

"While expelling Fujimaru Ritsuka from the world, we will refuse her return to Chaldea, intending to force the power gathered around Fujimaru Ritsuka to gradually disintegrate—Chaldea will be disbanded—in order to resolve the crisis brought about by Fujimaru Ritsuka."

"This...is...!"

While finding it hard to believe, Mash also felt that the reason was both reasonable and unreasonable.

As Goetia said, besides the Servants who take it upon themselves to uphold human order, there are also a considerable number of Servants in Chaldea who do not actually care about human order, and are even enemies of human order themselves, but choose to stay in Chaldea because they are willing to be driven by Fujimaru Ritsuka.

For example, there's Miss Ishtar and others from another universe, and the evil humans right before our eyes.

The point is that beings like Miss Ishtar from Space, who are not interested in human reason, would indeed leave because of Fujimaru Ritsuka's departure and travel to other worlds with her.

But wouldn't people like Goetia, who were originally enemies of humanity, become enemies of humanity again and start causing trouble again once they are no longer restrained by Fujimaru Ritsuka?

Seemingly sensing Mash's confusion, Goetia added:

"Of course, since we have never negotiated with the Inhibitor, we cannot guarantee that this is the Inhibitor's true motive. But judging from their current behavior, there is a high probability that it is."

Chapter 510 A Terrible Situation, Fetal Movement

"Is it just a guess...?"

Upon hearing this, Mashu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a glimmer of hope rose in her heart.

It wasn't that she didn't want to believe Geitia's words, but if it really was as he guessed, then it would be too cruel for Fujimaru Ritsuka.

She came to Chaldea by chance as an ordinary person and unexpectedly became the only remaining Master, and had to shoulder the responsibility of restoring humanity.

Having faced terrible crises and overcome countless trials along the way, she finally succeeded in restoring humanity, but before she could even return to a peaceful daily life, she was banished by the world she had saved...

But just then, Mashu suddenly remembered something, and cautiously looked at U-Olga Marie, her heart pounding again.

"Director..."

Goetia and the other human evils had not actually come into contact with the Counter Force; their speculation was based solely on its actions. However, U-Olgamarie herself admitted that they were negotiating with it.

Perhaps the other party knows more information.

"Is this..."

U-Olgamarie understood what Mash wanted to ask, and her expression became somewhat conflicted. This look immediately made Mash's heart sink.

Could it be that……

After hesitating for a moment, U-Olgamarie finally confessed with reluctance:

"Actually, we don't know much about this either, and we don't know why the inhibitor does this."

"but……"

The inhibitory force is divided into the collective unconscious of humanity, Alaya consciousness, and the Earth consciousness, Gaia. Therefore, their negotiations with the other party are also conducted in two parts.

On the Alaya-vijnana side, although there are guardians directly under the other side in Chaldea, they are obviously not useful in negotiations.

After careful consideration, although she was the Beast VII, the final beast, she was also the guardian of humanity and the former director of Chaldea. Naturally, she became the Chaldea representative to negotiate with the Alaya Consciousness.

As for Gaia, the task was left to Arcueid Brunsstadt, the Earth Princess who was a candidate for Earth's Ultimate Origin, and Hinako Akuta, who was an Elf and a former Chaldea Master.

However, the negotiations between the two sides did not go so smoothly.

Arcueid's attitude was rather ambiguous. They didn't know the content of her conversation with Gaia, the consciousness of Earth, but they did know that Gaia's response was: to refuse to let Fujimaru Ritsuka return to Chaldea.

The same applies to them. The Alaya consciousness did not tell them the reason for doing so, but its attitude was very firm, and it seemed that there was no room for negotiation at all.

"why is it like this……"

After hearing U-Olga Marie's description, Mash's mood immediately became very depressed. She looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with worry again, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"--I see."

At this moment, Draco, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up:

"So, is this one of the reasons why you planned to turn Fujimaru Ritsuka into a beast?"

The reason why the barrier formed by the two opposing forces was able to keep Fujimaru Ritsuka out was essentially because Fujimaru Ritsuka, being human, was simply too weak.

However, if it were a catastrophe that could threaten the entire history of humankind—BeastV—even if the two major restraining forces wanted to stop it, they would probably be powerless to do so.

[Individual Manifestation]: Each Beast possesses the ability to manifest independently in the world, allowing them to freely travel between different worlds, singularities, Lostbelts, and even parallel worlds.

Furthermore, since this skill also demonstrates 'existence in any spacetime,' it has extremely strong resistance to attacks that create time paradoxes through time travel, as well as various instant-death attacks.

Moreover, Fujimaru Ritsuka possesses the [Spirit Transfer] ability, which is quite mysterious even to them as beasts, allowing her to freely travel to other worlds.

It is foreseeable that after she becomes a beast, her [Solo Manifestation] will be of an unpredictable EX rank, making it incredibly easy for her to return to Chaldea at will.

"Perhaps that is true, but..."

Mashu shook her head. She understood what Draco meant, but she wasn't optimistic about it.

If it was just to return to their world, to Chaldea, she believed that even without becoming a beast, Fujimaru Ritsuka would have other ways to do so.

For example, if Xiaobo Rice could break through the barriers of the two major inhibitory forces and bring Fujimaru Ritsuka back to Chaldea, there's no reason why the even stronger Astartes wouldn't be able to do the same.

But now, more importantly, both suppressing forces have shown their intention to drive away Fujimaru Ritsuka. Even if the senior can suppress them with his strength and forcefully return to Chaldea, what should be done next?

Can she really pretend nothing happened and continue on, returning to the ordinary life she desires?

Mashu couldn't find an answer, but the current situation made her somewhat pessimistic.

senior……

"—Calm down, Mash."

U-Olga Marie came to Mashu's side and put her hand on her shoulder to comfort her:

"In any case, that's something we need to consider after Ritsuka wakes up. The most important issue right now is—"

She looked at Geitia again and questioned her in a deep voice:

"Is there really no problem with Fujimaru Ritsuka's ritual to transform into a beast?"

"!"

Mashu snapped out of her daze and immediately looked at Goetia. Upon hearing this, Goetia remained silent for a moment before slowly replying:

"We cannot guarantee that."

"Eh?"

Mashu looked astonished upon hearing this, while Goetia looked at the black sphere enveloping Fujimaru Ritsuka and said:

"The transformation process should be fine. Because Fujimaru Ritsuka already possesses the potential and qualifications to become human evil. Even if we do nothing, she still has the possibility of becoming human evil."

Especially in the current situation, after learning about the attitudes of the two restraining forces towards her, Fujimaru Ritsuka may also directly fall into human evil.

Compared to that situation, it might be a better choice for them to drive and accelerate this process.

"but……"

Goetia pondered:

"The real risk of this plan is not before it is completed, but after it is completed."

"Faced with the evil nature and power of humanity, Fujimaru Ritsuka's body, soul, and scale as a human being... all seem far too insignificant."

"Therefore, whether the final outcome is that Fujimaru Ritsuka successfully transformed into a BeastV, or that a BeastV was born from the body named 'Fujimaru Ritsuka,' is beyond our control."

"……what?"

Draco's brow furrowed deeply, and a visible surge of angry magic quickly filled his body.

"Ultimately... isn't this extremely dangerous?!"

The latter, as Goetia refers to, means that malicious information completely consumed Fujimaru Ritsuka, giving birth to a new personality called BeastV, which also means the complete death of Fujimaru Ritsuka!

Getia nodded without hesitation:

"Yes, but it's worth a try."

"Worth a try, just worth a try...!?"

A raw, chilling killing intent erupted from Draco's body once more, but the next moment—

Pfft!
