Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

If we can pull them in, it just means we'll have to deal with one more enemy, and we can also use this opportunity to bring out and kill all the guys who might be hostile to us.

If she fails to pull them in or even angers them, she'll have gained an enemy for no reason.

No matter what, Tevanm wouldn't care.

after all...

You, Altruki, went to the Far East to find the Black Dragon. Could you possibly find an army that is more powerful and larger than my elite Dead Apostle army?

impossible.

In that case, I will always have a huge advantage, which in some cases is enough to make me invincible!

Then.

What does he have to worry about?

....

40. Invest in Chaldea

Vanfem was taken directly back to the Umbrella Corporation by Roland.

After arriving here, Shadow Dragon transformed back into Shadow Puppet and guided Vanfem to Roland.

Then the shadow puppet transformed back into Roland's shadow and returned to Roland's body.

“Vanfiam, from this day forward you are my servant god.”

Roland's golden eyes were ignited, and the alien divinity pressed down on Vanfem, which invigorated Vanfem.

If his previous impression of Roland was that of a powerful magician who used unknown magic and could even summon a black dragon, then at this moment, Vanfem began to feel that Roland was someone of a much higher status.

Roland, maintaining this composure and speaking in a steady tone, recounted the story of the gods to Vanfem, bit by bit.

Finally, after explaining the divine influence, Roland continued the conversation.

"After you become a god, your life belongs to me. You won't even be allowed to harbor any hostility towards me—perhaps you can't accept that. I can give you one last chance. If you feel resentful about losing to Shadow Dragon, then now that you no longer have Demon City and I don't need Shadow Dragon, we can fight again like this, how about it?"

Upon hearing Roland's words, Vanfem gave a wry smile.

He's no greenhorn.

Once he was brought here, he had no chance to back out. This was their home turf, and the fact that they dared to say such things after their situation had been completely figured out meant they were definitely prepared.

So if you're still not convinced at this point, you're just asking for trouble.

His emotional intelligence isn't that low.

And he was indeed defeated by Shadow Dragon.

When he saw all seven magical puppets that he had created and upgraded over the years being wiped out, Vanfem was completely convinced.

So the answer at this point is naturally very simple.

He knelt down in front of Roland and lowered his head.

"There's no need for that. I surrender!"

Vanfem gave his answer again, and Roland nodded, crossed his hands, rested his chin on them, and slowly smiled.

"In that case, Fan, go see Shinji. I'll get him to cooperate with you, and then your vast financial empire and Umbrella Corporation will merge."

Roland's words were direct, and Van Fem agreed just as readily.

"I see."

Vanfem handed over the reins very decisively.

Shinji accepted it very readily.

Having learned magic, Shinji seemed to have undergone a fundamental transformation. He became less extreme, and when Roland asked him to cooperate with Vanfem, he readily agreed.

Then he gradually realized that although Van Fem had suffered in many ways because he hadn't read the advanced business methods book Roland had given him, Van Fem was indeed far superior to him in other aspects.

Shinji has an exceptional talent in this area, something even Vanfem would admire.

However, he has not been exposed to these things for very long, does not understand many of the rules, and has absolutely no experience.

Vanfem, on the other hand, was exactly the opposite of him.

In terms of talent, Vanfem was just average—but he was a financial tycoon almost when the financial world was just emerging, or to exaggerate a bit, he practically created the current financial world, and he participated in formulating most of the rules.

Therefore, Shinji's talent, combined with Vanfem's capital and experience, plus the advanced ideas written by Roland, formed a powerful combination.

In the shortest possible time, Umbrella Corporation became the largest capital entity in the entire Type-Moon universe.

Other forces have considered getting involved.

But in the realm of finance, we can't compete with others in the normal game.

Trying to use underhanded tactics is still no match for them.

Then all we can do is watch helplessly as it all happens.

Regarding the Umbrella Corporation, Roland entrusted most of the issues to Shinji and Vanfem—these two were his chosen tools, and they were being put to good use.

However, Roland will still take a look at applications from some mysterious forces that want to launch large-scale projects to attract investment to Umbrella Corporation.

Has anything major happened recently?

As Roland looked through the applications, slowly searching for opportunities he might have missed, he casually asked Medea a question.

Medea stood beside Roland, organizing documents while answering his questions.

"If we're talking about big things lately, the situation in Europe has become even more chaotic. It seems that Altruchi was planning to come to the Far East, but she was intercepted by the White Wings before she left Europe. However, she disappeared after that, and it looks like she still came."

Upon hearing Medea's words, Roland paused in his work of flipping through the documents.

Altrouge is here?

It seems that the image of the pharmaceutical company cultivated by the Umbrella Corporation had some effect...

"Well, let's wait until that Black Princess arrives before discussing this matter. As for the rest..."

"The rest are almost all internal matters..."

Medea smiled and continued speaking.

"First, Aoko and Azuma's Kuon no Tori and Touko's Garan no Do merged—then Misaki City, Kanbuko City, and Fuyuki City were combined into one organization. The three of them publicly declared that the association they formed was called the Far East Mage Association. At first, the Mage Association had some objections to this, but the situation in Europe is very tense now, so in the end the Mage Association gritted its teeth and accepted it."

"Hmm... that's not surprising. After all, the Mage's Association already has the Clock Tower, the Wandering Sea, the Atlas Institute, and so on—and they're not on good terms with each other. Now that the Mage's Association doesn't pay attention to the Far East, there's this Far East Mage's Association. I guess as long as they openly declare that the Far East Mage's Association is also part of the Mage's Association, the Mage's Association won't have any objections."

Roland wasn't surprised by this, but since Medea said "first," it meant that the members of the gods seemed to have raised other issues.

"Yes, that's true. Besides that, Iskandar has regained the throne."

"To reclaim the throne?"

What Medea said piqued Roland's interest.

Medea then offered her explanation.

"Yes, he regained the throne... but Iskandar didn't claim to be Alexander the Great or anything like that. Instead, he first obtained citizenship with the help of a monarch in the Clock Tower, and after giving speeches and traveling around, he became the leader of the country through election."

Roland was not surprised to hear that Iskandar had won the election.

As for the fact that one of the monarchs of the Clock Tower helped Iskandar... Roland is even less of a surprise.

After all, El-Melloi II was a princess.

Helping is nothing compared to what Roland is capable of; he suspects that the El-Melloi faction is likely providing assistance to Iskandar.

Thinking of this, Roland mentioned it briefly.

"Afterwards, communicate with Iskandar via the Divine Group Communication. The situation in Europe is not good at the moment, and the Dead Apostle War is about to break out. So tell him to temporarily block Greece to the west and not to go deep into Europe."

“If he really has nothing to do, then he should go south—Africa is in turmoil, which would be a good opportunity for him to make his mark.”

Medea nodded in agreement upon hearing Roland's words.

The situation in Africa is difficult for many people, such as universal education and local conflicts—but for Roland's group of gods, such a land is just right for him to bring out all sorts of new things and let them take root and sprout in the world.

Only when Roland's power in the homeland has grown to a sufficiently large extent can he gather enough resources to build the virtual world.

It is also the true home of their divine group.

Roland originally intended to say something more about this.

But just as he was about to speak, his attention was drawn to an investment application document.

The application was submitted by the monarch of the Clock Tower's Celestial Department, and the current head of Animushia, one of the twelve prestigious schools of the Mage's Association—Marisbury Animushia.

This is what FGO players refer to as the "Old Director".

The project he applied for was to build the Phineas Chaldea, a human survival and security organization.

Therefore, he needs investment from the Umbrella Corporation.

Upon seeing the application, Roland suddenly smiled.

Then, under Medea's somewhat puzzled gaze, Roland stood up with the application in his hand.

"Medea, go and contact the head of Animusphia for me. Tell him that my Umbrella Corporation has invested in Chaldea!"
