Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

"This will make things safer and simpler."

Roland was looking at Mordred when he gave her the explanation, and it was clear that the explanation was meant for her alone.

Then Roland's gaze fell on Joan of Arc.

“Joan of Arc, strictly speaking, we are just partners, so if you don’t want to be involved in this, you don’t have to be involved at all, and you don’t need to feel any pressure.”

When Joan of Arc heard Roland say this, she and Roland exchanged a glance, and then she let out a long sigh.

"Since we are partners, please include me as well. At least we are comrades-in-arms now. I believe you won't do anything meaningless, so please use my strength as well."

"Okay, thank you very much."

Roland smiled and nodded at her, then prepared to continue making arrangements.

It was at this moment that Mary spoke up.

"Wait, what about me!?"

"You explained things to Mordred, who just joined, and asked about Joan of Arc's wishes, so what about me? Shouldn't I be asked as well?"

Hearing what Mary said, Roland glanced at her.

"What do you think Alaya came here for?"

"Ultimately, this should have been your job... Did I really need to ask you about this?"

Upon hearing Roland's response, Mary immediately realized that Roland and the Inhibitor's relationship was even closer than she had imagined... because she could tell from Roland's attitude that the Inhibitor had basically told Roland everything.

This surprised Mary.

Because inhibitory forces rarely do this.

The restraining force is incredibly aloof in front of these tools... oh, no, I mean guardians and heroic spirits. You're lucky if they give you an answer after asking for ages, let alone give you a detailed explanation of the mission.

but...

It seems that the restraint force will be more patient when facing Roland.

After realizing this, Mary pretended to blush and spoke to Roland somewhat shyly.

"Hey, is it really okay to talk about this here..."

"Didn't Lord Alaya say that I was here to warm your bed?"

According to Melly's thinking, Artoria was also there, and she could see that Illya and Rin Tohsaka also had feelings for Roland that went beyond friendship, so she could probably fool people with what she said.

And if you're lucky, you might even get some entertainment.

But just as Mary was looking forward to it, Roland suddenly realized something and nodded at Mary with some understanding.

"Oh, I see. Alaya didn't tell me. Since this is your task, then come to my room tonight."

Roland said it directly, and then steered the conversation back to the task arrangement, giving Mary no chance to react, and finalized the matter directly, Uncle!

This left Mary somewhat bewildered.

She glanced at the unresponsive Artoria, then at Illya and Rin Tohsaka...

Oh no, I'm the one who's having the fun!

....

182. Sieg: No one understands Honkai energy better than me!

Sieg acts in extreme ways after being bound by the parallel world, but he is not stupid.

So although he said he would share Semiramis's and the others' status with all the Heroic Spirits, he still held back.

After all, sharing this state is troublesome and requires him to expend some power. The result is that all these Heroic Spirits have had their magic power and Command Seals unleashed. This, combined with their personalities—they might put in effort to retrieve the Greater Grail, but they would never execute orders entirely according to their own will.

He looked around and even found that there were quite a few troublemakers.

This allowed Zieg to add an extra layer of protection when constructing spells that shared state.

"Sieg, the energy you used to construct the spell doesn't seem to be magic... Come to think of it, the energy you used in the previous battle wasn't magic either, was it? Is there really such a magical power in this world?"

Semiramis frowned slightly when she saw the spell Sieg had created, and then asked a question.

The other heroic spirits also turned their gazes in that direction.

Seeing their reaction, Zieg silently nodded.

"It is indeed not magic, but a power called Honkai energy. It is a type of energy that has gradually emerged with the rise of technology. In your time, it was not mainstream and did not even receive attention, so it is normal that you do not recognize it."

Those present were all Heroic Spirits. Although not every Heroic Spirit had extensive experience, they could still discern whether Sieg was lying or not.

In addition, the modern knowledge they gained after descending as Heroic Spirits did indeed contain some rough descriptions of Honkai energy, which made them all nod in understanding.

While Sieg was explaining, Avisbro studied the spell and confirmed that there was no problem.

Then they used this technique to begin sharing the contract status of Semiramis and the others.

In this way, the Heroic Spirits present severed their original contracts and connected them to Semiramis and their Masters, allowing them to directly receive magical energy from them.

Zieg watched this scene, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Semiramis had previously said that the source of their magic might be the Greater Grail, this was merely a conjecture by Semiramis, and Sieg did not readily believe it.

But now that he saw that this source of magic could indeed sustain the magic consumption of so many heroic spirits in one go, without showing any signs of depletion, he was convinced that Semiramis's guess was true.

Because apart from the Greater Grail, there shouldn't be any other source of magic that can do this.

Then it can only be the Greater Grail.

And now they've all used the same technique made with Honkai energy...

Zieg felt relieved by this.

He had certainly seen Avisbro's earlier actions, and the reason he didn't stop him was that Avisbro was a magician, and what did he know about Honkai energy!

After Sieg was absorbed by the parallel world, although his memories were fragmented, he also realized from the broader perspective of the parallel world just how enormous the potential of Honkai energy, this universal energy source, truly was!

In one of the parallel worlds in his mind, Honkai energy is used instead of magic to drive spells.

The androids in that world also use Honkai energy as their power source to maintain their activities.

So during the period of dormancy, Zieg used this knowledge to transform himself into a similar structure, directly solving the defects he had just created, and also giving him a certain amount of power.

What he just constructed was also a Honkai energy formula.

Because the spell was powered by Honkai energy instead of magic, Avisbron could still understand the spell and could not see any problems with it.

However, the technique is ultimately activated by Honkai energy.

Therefore, Sieg, now a Honkai energy android, can use the Honkai energy that constitutes the contract to do some things.

It's impossible to directly control these heroic spirits, because the remaining Honkai energy can't maintain such a complex spell, and doing so would likely cause these heroic spirits to resist to the death, which is not worthwhile.

Can...

If we leave Honkai energy on these Heroic Spirits, so that they can become bombs that cause violent explosions at critical moments, then that's still acceptable!

And that's exactly what Sieg wants!

To him, these heroic spirits were nothing more than tools.

They want to retrieve the Greater Grail, which is perfect... As long as they head towards the Greater Grail, once they reach the designated location and encounter the enemy, even if they can't win, they can still blow them up.

Furthermore, such a self-destruct attack can also cause all these heroic spirits to retreat from the field.

And when that time comes, he will naturally be the victor of the Holy Grail War.

As the one being bound, Sieg's obsession naturally manifests in his desires...

His mind was filled with fragments of memories from various parallel worlds, and in these fragments, Sieg saw far too many possibilities.

Among these possibilities are some good ones, but these good ones seem very out of place... The beautiful things don't seem real, as if they exist only to prove that these possibilities exist.

On the contrary, the bad things are unusually real, and any of them could happen...

Beautiful stories are never memorable.

Things that are etched in one's memory are often hard to forget.

So these fragments of memory led Zig from confusion to chaos, until his mind was filled with all these bad possibilities.

But he didn't want that.

His paranoia, stemming from being brutally restrained, is evident here.

In order to prevent the world from going astray, he began to accept Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's wish—he was not unaware of what the world would become if Amakusa Shiro Tokisada made a wish like that, but he felt that such a future was also quite good.

It contains neither the illusion of beauty nor the reality of evil.

If Honkai energy is used to assist in spreading the Third Law throughout the world, then such an outcome is far better than the possibility of a bad one!

So this is Zieg's wish!

Although he still cared about Joan of Arc to some extent, this concern, stemming from future projections, could not change his obsessive thinking.

This is why Zieg is still in action.

This is also why he and these Heroic Spirits wanted to retrieve the Greater Grail!
