Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Roland smiled when he heard Eltrucci say that.

"I've taken care of everything that needed to be taken care of, so let's go to Europe together next."

As Roland and Altrucci were speaking, Roland's voice was also heard by everyone in the God Group Communication, except for Altrucci and Fou, who were right next to him.

"Let's begin the operation as planned—our war is about to begin!"

Roland had made most of the arrangements while he was arming Esdeath's army.

Artoria, Beo, and Bazett are in Western Europe, specifically in the Magicians' Association.

Iskandar is making preparations in Southern Europe, near Greece.

Rin Tohsaka lives at the Edelfelt family home in Northern Europe.

Cú Chulainn and the Umbrella Corporation had already boarded Vanfem's large ship and arrived in European waters.

Even Ilya took the members of the Far East Magic Association back to her hometown.

Although Roland felt that it was just a training exercise and there was no need for so many people to come, the other members still found it interesting and came to join in the fun.

Even Bai Mao temporarily made arrangements for things in the Empire and returned here early to leave with Ilya and the others.

Ryougi Shiki was also a member of the Far East Magic Association, and she has already passed away.

Tiamat, however, did not leave.

So Roland, along with Altrouge, the Black Knight, the White Knight, Fou, and Tiamat, set off towards Europe.

Their target is Northern Europe.

Since the other sides all have other things to do, they don't need to worry about them for the time being. On the other hand, Rin Tohsaka's side wasn't something he specifically arranged at the beginning, so Roland wants to go and check on her.

Incidentally...

Roland also planned to meet with Sajo Aika.

Ask her if she has joined the god group.

If she joins, the group will have exactly twenty members.

Roland was still thinking about this on his way to Europe.

On the other hand, standing next to Bai Yigong, wearing a long overcoat and looking like Dante from Devil May Cry, the eighteenth patriarch, Anhans, was casually talking about the information he had obtained.

"I got some information during my trip to Fuyuki. Altruchi really did receive treatment at Umbrella Corporation and is said to have recovered to her full strength. Aren't you going to make any preparations at all?"

He said this to Bai Yigong, who shook his head slightly.

"unnecessary."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the empty throne.

"The position of King of the Dead Apostles will not belong to Altrudge, it wasn't before, and it never will be—the only ones in this world who can truly be called King of the Dead Apostles are the original Six Kings."

“Altruchi has recovered to her peak condition, which is indeed a bit troublesome, but I haven’t been idle during the time she was injured.”

As he spoke, Bai Yigong turned his gaze back to Anhans.

"I'm close to success on my end too. At least for now, I can already mobilize the power of the six royal authorities..."

As he said this, he snapped his fingers, and then a jet-black power flowed out from all around.

Anhans narrowed his eyes upon seeing this.

He could clearly sense that the power that Bai Yigong referred to as the Six Royal Powers consisted of two parts.

One was the pitch blackness on the ground—something that seemed like a flowing shadow, utterly evil.

The other is the pitch blackness above—it's like a thin mist, neither evil nor righteous, but rather presents an overall chaotic state.

If that's all there is to it, then Anhans wouldn't be too surprised.

but...

Anhans ignored the evil shadows on the ground.

His gaze was fixed on the thin mist above, his expression one of surprise and uncertainty.

When Bai Yigong saw him like this, he laughed.

"Yes, you read that right—what lies on the ground is the power of the original six kings, born from the hands of the True Ancestor, created by the True Ancestor as blood offerings—so during that period, the six kings rebelled against the True Ancestor."

"As the Ancestors of Death, they were no match for the True Ancestors, so at that time, they introduced external forces."

"That is, the power of humans, or rather, primates."

As he said this, Bai Yigong shrugged.

“The will of primates, or rather Alaya… its power lies here, so if Altrud thinks she can do something with the Umbrella Corporation, that’s absolutely impossible.”

“Alaya may not be on our side, but it will not be on the other side either—in that case, when we borrow the power of Alaya through the ancient contract, judgment will come down on the other side without mercy.”

"No human being can withstand the judgment of Alaya, unless Alaya does not wish to judge the other party."

"But how could that be? How could the will of primates or planets care about the life or death of some insects?"

so...

"Calm down, Anhans—that's the only thing you can be sure of..."

At this point, Bai Yigong's gaze fell on Anhans, his eyes flashing with a profound and meaningful light.

"...We were in an invincible position from the very beginning."

"Therefore, I won't reveal any weaknesses or give the enemy any opportunity. Do you... understand, bow?"

....

49. Ishtar: Mother! ?

"You came too?"

Rin Tohsaka was somewhat surprised to hear Ayaka Sajou's voice on the other end of the phone while at the airport.

"Okay, then—just find a place to wait there for a bit, I'll take the person to you once I pick them up."

"Okay, hang up."

Rin Tohsaka said this, then hung up the phone, somewhat helplessly.

"Roland also said that he has nothing to do with Aigo. If they really have nothing to do with each other, why would Aigo, who is usually so calm, be in such a hurry... If you ask me, there must be a story behind this!"

Rin Tohsaka muttered to herself, and then Ishtar's voice rang in her mind.

"So what if there's a story? Roland has already expressed that he doesn't want to talk about it anymore, and Ai Ge doesn't want to talk about it either, so why are you still worrying about it!"

Ishtar truly admired Rin Tohsaka's courage.

Are you really curious about every kind of gossip?

That's something you should be curious about!

She dared not provoke Roland, and Sajo Aika also felt something was off about him... Although she couldn't say she was afraid, she had a feeling that things would get very complicated if she provoked him—especially since she seemed to have some kind of relationship with Roland!

Shouldn't we keep our distance from such situations?

When Ishtar saw Rin Tohsaka's curious expression, she felt that she might die one day, probably because Rin Tohsaka killed her!

When he gets pierced by various weapons in the God Group headquarters, Roland will probably be able to calmly say that the cause of death was suicide.

Why suicide?

Your curiosity killed you, which is practically suicide!

Ishtar was internally ranting, but before she could continue, she quickly took over Rin Tohsaka's hands, stabilized the phone she had just been using, closed the cover, and put it in her bag.

"Of the two of us, I'm the one who lives in ancient times! Why can't you, a modern person, even use a cell phone?!"

Ishtar is desperate.

After becoming Rin Tohsaka's familiar, she renewed her contracts with Rin Tohsaka in all aspects.

This version of the contract allowed Rin Tohsaka to completely dominate the situation.

Generally, Ishtar can only take control of her body if Rin Tohsaka gives permission, but the contract also grants her a certain degree of autonomy in some special circumstances, including situations where Rin Tohsaka might be harmed.

And just now, Ishtar took control of Rin Tohsaka's hands with these very hands.

As for why using a mobile phone can cause harm...

"Shut up! Who knows why these modern gadgets are so hard to use! Generally, if you want to use some random gadget, you should inject magic into it, right? I only injected a little magic, and who knew it would react so strongly!"

Rin Tohsaka blushed, but remained defiant.

"This must be a trap set by modern technology! Injecting magic and it explodes—isn't this just targeting magicians?!"

Ishtar hesitated to speak in response to Rin Tohsaka's explanation. (cccj) This goddess adapted to modern life very quickly, while Rin Tohsaka... she could no longer be described as a simple mechanical idiot.

She was fairly familiar with how to use various modern technological devices, but for some inexplicable reason, she always liked to infuse these devices with magic!

Fun fact: Many modern devices with batteries explode after being injected with magic!

Don't ask Ishtar how she knows; just tell me that you'll understand once you've experienced what I have.

Devices without batteries, such as televisions, will not explode, but they are prone to problems after being injected with magic.
