Crossover Anime: Starting by fusing with an old sword and summoning Morgan

Onphalus, the ruins of the Pantheon.

Luo Chen slowly withdrew his right hand, which was powerful enough to crush stars.

In the sky, the three suns representing the "eternal law" have completely disappeared.

There was no deafening explosion, nor the terrifying heat radiation of a falling star.

After the three enormous fireballs were compressed to their limit, they emitted an extremely strange "sizzling" sound.

Like an old radio losing signal.

"Click... Beep—"

Accompanied by a piercing noise, the clear Aegean-style blue sky that had been looming overhead suddenly began to flicker violently, like a faulty LCD screen.

Immediately afterwards, the sky "cracked" open.

What is revealed behind the cracks is not the vast and profound vacuum of the Starry Sky Railway universe.

Instead, it was a dense stream of data, shimmering with a ghostly blue light.

Countless garbled characters cascaded down from the crack in the sky.

The magnificent marble pillars, the reliefs carved with mythological epics, and even the golden divine blood flowing on the ground all blurred at this moment.

It transforms into sharp, polygonal color blocks.

"What...what the hell is this thing?"

Mordred stepped forward and kicked the "corpse" belonging to the god-king Theos on the ground with his toe.

Creepy.

The false god who was so arrogant just moments ago did not dissipate into golden spiritual particles like a normal heroic spirit.

His body was rapidly disintegrating into strings of green code composed of "0"s and "1"s.

It eventually evaporated into the air like a wisp of smoke.

Xiao Mo squatted down, trying to grab the clump of code with his hand, but his fingers passed right through it.

"Dad, this guy isn't made of flesh! He doesn't even have a soul, it feels... like shooting down a pixelated monster in an arcade!"

"No doubt about it, Lord Mordred."

Morgan le Fay gracefully folded up the black magic umbrella.

Her ruby-like eyes were now swirling with an extremely complex and profound analytical light.

The Fairy Queen surveyed the world, which was gradually revealing its "original form," and a mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips.

"This is not a relic of the Age of Gods at all, and there are no supreme gods here."

"There is no true ether, no mythological undertones. What we breathe is nothing more than highly filtered and disguised cooled gas."

Morgan walked up to a bronze pillar that was flashing garbled text and lightly swiped it with the tip of her finger, which was covered by a black lace glove.

With a blinding spark, the bronze surface was peeled off.

It revealed the incredibly thick superconducting cables and the quantum light cores that were spinning at high speed.

"What a poorly made yet grandiose stage play."

Morgan turned to look at Luo Chen, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Arthur, with that squeeze, you've shattered the entire world's 'texture.' This is a massive, artificially created simulation world."

"A simulated world?!"

Standing at the back, March 7th exclaimed in surprise, her pinkish-blue eyes wide open.

"Morgan, are you saying we're in a virtual game right now? But... but the gravity, the temperature, and the monsters' attacks just now, they all felt so real!"

"That's precisely what makes it terrifying."

Walter Young walked briskly forward, leaning on his cane.

The former Herrscher of Reason looked more solemn than ever before.

He crouched down and scanned the exposed cables with Eden's Star gravity probe, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.

"To forcibly imbue massive amounts of data with physical mass, and to construct an incredibly realistic 'reality' at the galaxy level, requires an extremely terrifying amount of computing power."

"A typical supercomputer simply couldn't do that, unless..."

Walter pushed up his glasses, his voice trembling slightly.

"Unless, this planet itself is a 'star computer'."

"Astral computer?"

Luo Chen put his hands in his trench coat pockets and stepped on the metal mesh floor that was gradually being exposed.

There was no surprise in his crimson-gold vertical pupils.

As early as when he stepped into this star field called "Onfaros", the [Third Star Particle Body] in his body had already sensed this energy fluctuation filled with traces of artificial carving.

Under the omniscient perspective of the "Three-Digit Sandwich Garden," no illusion can hide.

"Walter, it seems that your Interstellar Peace Corporation or Genius Club's files contain some extraordinary information."

Luo Chen looked at Old Yang, his tone lazy yet carrying an undeniable guiding tone.

Walter took a deep breath, stood up, and looked at the mechanical ruins that were shedding their mythical disguise with extremely complicated emotions.

"In the Black Tower's archives, there was once a piece of history that had been buried for a long time."

"Zandar, the founder of the Genius Club and the great one who holds seat #1."

"In order to explore the ultimate truth of the universe and to approach or even create the 'wise' star god, the erudite one, he once built a prototype machine comparable in size to a planet."

"The prototype was named—[Emperor's Scepter δ-me13]."

"The Imperial Scepter..."

Dan Heng gripped his spear tightly, a hint of shock flashing in his blue eyes.

"You mean, the planet we're standing on right now, called the 'Land of Eternity,' is actually the abandoned computer mainframe of the Genius Club's founder?!"

"It seems that's the case."

Luo Chen snapped his fingers.

Om-!

With a wisp of magical energy emanating from his fingertips, the concept of [Simulated Star Chart - Star Truth] spread outwards like ripples on water.

Luo Chen did not cause any damage.

Instead, it used an extremely aggressive approach to directly and forcibly hack into the underlying database of this celestial computer!

Under the combined crushing force of the third magic and the higher-dimensional cosmology, those originally impenetrable firewalls were instantly pierced as if they were made of paper.

"boom!"

The holographic projection in the center of the hall suddenly lit up.

It was no longer the lofty phantom of a god-king, but a series of extremely large, blood-red log codes that were scrolling at the speed of light.

Luo Chen looked at the code, and a cold smile gradually appeared on his lips.

"It seems that this abandoned computer wasn't actually shut down."

Luo Chen's voice echoed in the empty hall.

"After Zandal abandoned it, it was given a new 'manager.' A guy who called himself Lykus, or as you might call him, Lykus."

"Using this planetary-level computing power, he has been conducting a crazy calculation in this isolated star field for countless years."

"What kind of calculation?"

Liu Ying subconsciously moved closer to Luo Chen, a hint of instinctive unease in her silver-gray eyes.

She has a deep-seated, physiological aversion to such scenes of using machines for crazy experiments.

Luo Chen turned his head and looked at Liu Ying, his tone slightly somber.

"He's calculating 'destruction'."

"This machine has been simulating the end of the universe. Its computing power is so enormous that it has attracted the attention of Nanook, the god of destruction."

"And under this intense simulation and the gaze of the Star God, an extremely dangerous source code was born in this prototype."

Luo Chen paused for a moment, then uttered a name that sent chills down the spines of the entire train crew.

"The Great Lord of Annihilation - The Source Code of the Iron Tomb".

Dead silence.

Whether it was Walter, Danheng, or Xinghe March 7, their breath caught in their throats the moment they heard the words "Great Lord of Annihilation".

The terrifying illusion is still vivid in my mind.

And this place is actually the cradle of another Great Ruler of Annihilation?!

"I see."

Artoria gripped the holy sword tightly, her emerald green eyes blazing with fury.

As a knight queen, what she could not tolerate most was treating life as a number or a bargaining chip.

"So, all those inhabitants outside, those so-called Titans, the Golden Blood... are actually just code generated by this computer to practice 'destruction'?"

"Are they constantly struggling in this endless despair?"

Not entirely.

Luo Chen walked to the holographic projection and gently swiped his finger across the air.

The code on the screen quickly transformed into a log entry that resembled a video.

The images show that countless terrifying black tides have erupted on the surface of this planet.

The so-called "Titan" is decaying, and a black torrent is swallowing everything.

In that desperate black tide, a group of heroes known as the "Golden Blood" charged toward the gods one after another.

They attempted to reclaim the flame, embarking on a tragic struggle known as the "Journey to the Flame."

Bai'er, Xilian, Aglaya, Tibao, Wandi...

Vivid names and faces flashed across the screen.

They bled, they sacrificed, they roared as they fought for the survival of the world.

"They are real beings, at least on the level of their 'souls,' and they possess an indomitable will."

Luo Chen looked at the heroes who had fallen in the images, a hint of respect flashing in his eyes.

"In order to fight against the computer's inevitable 'destruction' fate, the two heroes named 'Bai'e' and 'Xilian' exploited a vulnerability in the machine to create a system called 'Eternal Return'."

"Since we cannot prevent destruction from coming, let the world restart and cycle continuously in the moments before destruction."

Luo Chen pointed to a glaringly large number that was jumping wildly in the corner of the screen.

[Current iteration count: 33,550,336].

"Thirty-three million five hundred thousand times..."

Mashu covered her mouth, her eyes instantly reddening, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.

"Over thirty million destructions and restarts... those heroes died over thirty million times in this fabricated ancient Greek mythology?!"

"Just to find a future with even a one in ten thousand chance of survival in this cold machine?!"

That's too cruel.

This despair, built upon an endless cycle of reincarnation, is even more suffocating than the black mud of Tiamat.

"Trapping living souls in servers and constantly resetting them as test subjects in the fight against destruction."

Scáthach took a deep breath, and the two demonic spears in her hands suddenly ignited with a purplish-black aura of death.

For the first time, undisguised rage appeared in the eyes of this Queen of the Land of Shadows.

"This act, which deprives 'death' of its dignity and denys even the right to an end... is the greatest insult to a soldier!"

"Master!"

Scáthach suddenly turned her head to look at Luo Chen.

"Tell me where the core of this damn machine is. I'm going to go and pick that administrator named Legus off the ground, bit by bit, with the tip of my spear!"

"Don't rush, Master."

Luo Chen did not stop Scáthach's killing intent.

Because at this moment, a layer of icy, bone-chilling coldness had already filled his own eyes.

What he hates most is this kind of condescending "script" that treats life as data.

"Boss!"

Xing's eyes were red, and she unusually didn't have a playful smile.

She gripped the baseball bat tightly with both hands and walked to Luo Chen's side.

"Those people are still fighting the Black Tide outside. They don't know they're just programs; they genuinely want to survive."

"Let's go help them! Let's smash this crappy computer!"

"Smash the computer?"

Luo Chen chuckled softly.

He turned around and looked at the group of "Round Table Demolition Team" and "Train Development Team" behind him, whose anger had already reached its peak.

He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers crisply in mid-air.

"The underlying logic of this server is terrible, it's so laggy it's frustrating."

Within Luo Chen's crimson-gold vertical pupils, the absolute brilliance of the [Simulated Star Chart - Star Truth - Avalon], belonging to the origin of the universe, erupted with a thunderous roar!

This radiance did not spread outwards.

Instead, it transformed into an indestructible blade, piercing deep into the planetary computer along the floor of the main hall!

Boom! ...

At this moment, the entire world of Onpharos experienced a violent tremor even more terrifying than the explosion of a star core!

In the sky outside, all the fake textures were instantly torn apart.

It revealed the massive, densely packed mechanical structure inside the planet, resembling a steel honeycomb.

Under Luo Chen's forceful intervention, the [Eternal Return] system, which had cycled more than 30 million times, was abruptly stopped!

"Since it's a poorly designed, terrible game."

Luo Chen stomped on and shattered the holographic projection platform in front of him. His black trench coat danced wildly in the air currents, like a demon king descending upon the world.

"Then I'll be the final patch."

"Morgan, analyze the core channel!"

"Xiao Mo, Meilushin, prepare for maximum firepower to wipe out the enemy!"

"Saber, Master, protect the train!"

Luo Chen raised his head and looked at the area deep underground that was flashing red light wildly.

"Let's go, everyone."

"Go and meet those 'Golden Blood' heroes who are trapped in a vicious cycle."

"Then……"

Luo Chen's lips curled into a wild smile.

"Go smash that 'Iron Tomb' Extinction Lord's source code, along with this disgusting computer case, to pieces!"
