This is not an MMO game copy

Irena hesitated slightly.

"I could try using the magic of that Lady Avalon. By creating a pseudo-Avalon in this world, I could temporarily reconstruct some of the rules of the Inner Sea of ​​Stars. However, this world's external environment lacks etheric magic power. I'd need to draw upon the magic power stored in the Greater Holy Grail... and I'd need a lot of it."

"Will it affect the Greater Holy Grail itself?"

"That's not the case. It's just that there's no way to replenish magic power. Even if the Greater Holy Grail stores a lot of magic power, it will only flow out and not in."

"It's okay. If nothing unexpected happens, the next 'Instance' will open in about a month. With luck, we should be able to find a suitable world to replenish the energy consumed by the Greater Holy Grail."

"That's okay."

Irena laughed.

"Next, I, a genius witch, will need some time, probably about three days, to prepare the ritual."

"no problem."

Xia Yan nodded.

"As long as I can go to Norway soon... I don't know if the Wild Hunt has done anything, but I have a bad feeling... I hope I'm overthinking it."

"No matter how crazy these pointy-eared bastards are, they wouldn't just open a portal and inexplicably pour White Frost into a world that has nothing to do with them, right?!"

(PS: Oh, let me know when I get back - I know there will definitely be some kids complaining about why they can't rule the world or something, or that they can do whatever they want with extraordinary powers and still worry about this and that... Oh, forget it, I've written so far, and I think the protagonist's personality should be very clear. Since his power is given by the system, his personality is also the kind that avoids trouble. He has also repeatedly stated that he doesn't like to show off in front of others... Therefore, hoping to see the protagonist single-handedly defeat the entire world and then drag the entire world and all of humanity to bear the consequences is impossible - there is also a certain probability that he will be attacked by high-dimensional river crabs~ Those who know the situation of cat guests will understand...

...or, in other words, please don't substitute Xia Lin for this. The protagonist of this book really can't be the next Xia Lin. I know that the characterization of Xia Lin in the two previous "Lord God" trilogies was too obvious, which led people to hope that the protagonist of each book would be Xia Lin, capable of everything Xia Lin could do...but the overall strength of the protagonist of this book, in every aspect, is not as good as Xia Lin in the Countdown F/Z copy...and he doesn't have Xia Lin's Sith-like thinking mode and sufficiently comprehensive knowledge reserves...orz)

The third copy: Correcting some possible misconceptions

Suddenly I thought of something, and I may need to correct something that is very likely to happen, because it may be due to the previous chapter skipping or the Crimson King causing the misunderstanding, that is, 'the protagonist cares about studying'... Well, how should I put it, the protagonist is not a college student again. I mentioned the time travel at the beginning. It's not a time travel to another world, but the original world line has changed and returned to his college days, and all the animations, games and other works related to the Ninth Art have disappeared (in fact, they have become a real world). But other than that, everything is no different from the original world line, including the protagonist's own family and interpersonal relationships, it's just that the timeline has rolled back...

So, the protagonist isn't determined to stay in college, but rather, his identity in the "current" timeline after the rewind is that of a college student nearing graduation, including his perception of his family and interpersonal relationships. He can skip classes, leave school, and ignore his "current" timeline identity, but this will inevitably attract attention. However, the protagonist's current thinking is to avoid showing off and maintain his original family and interpersonal relationships...

Of course, the protagonist can use their newly learned magic to perform suggestion and mental interference... But I'll allow myself to refute the underlying tone of "mind control is omnipotent." For example, in F/Z, Weber used magic to mentally suggest an elderly man and woman, disguising himself as their grandson. But well, Weber had to use mental suggestion many times to barely maintain this identity, and in the end, he still couldn't pull it off perfectly. The old man realized the flaw in his cognitive logic and easily broke free from the suggestion, but he just didn't expose it...

The protagonist is stronger than F/Z's Weber, having mastered a small portion of Type-Moon magic across systems. He can indeed learn from others and even do better. This means the protagonist must constantly maintain mental cues, returning to reapply them whenever the effects wear off. One or two people might be fine, but what about a large group? And what if the person imposing the cues can't stay together 24/7? Furthermore, they have to ensure the subject of the cues remains in a state of normal logical thinking. If it becomes like F/A Amakusa's control over the other Red Masters, anyone who sees them will be able to tell that their mental state is off. As for controlling an entire country for their own purposes...

...It is better to say that if the protagonist's mental control ability is strong enough to control the core of all human national government agencies, and can make the core of this agency maintain its original logical thinking and operate the state machinery normally for its own use... then the protagonist himself is the doomsday crisis... not to mention all the major countries in the world... Such a sci-fi, yes, sci-fi thing, only the "Earth United Government" in The Wandering Earth and the human leaders who agree to form this organization can really unite as one... This is no longer something that can be achieved by simply brainwashing and controlling a small group of high-ranking human government officials.

In addition, the protagonist's "time" was too short. On the first night after crossing over, he was thrown into the first dungeon. He dared not sleep there for fear of attracting the attention of some dangerous factors hidden in the dream. He endured for more than half a month to come back, and spent most of his time healing his wounds without attracting other people's attention. He went to the second dungeon when his injuries were still good. However, the F/A Broken Cup War only lasted for a few days. After his condition was fully recovered, he created a two-in-one Irena. With Irena's help in deciphering and analyzing his teachings, he just learned a little bit of trivial Type-Moon magic. During this period, he also used the [Great Holy Grail] to collect his own information and created a "current Xia Yan" with a spiritual base card bug to master his own initiation. In private, he had to temper the Sword of Oath of Victory and turn it into a truly handy flying sword. He also went out at night to hone and familiarize himself with his own power... You don't think the protagonist is really in class now, do you? Apart from the disguise of not showing off in front of others, the protagonist has a very fulfilling life.

The third copy: Don’t skip chapters and add the second setting yourself~o(╥﹏╥)o

As the title says, I was about to write when I took a look at the background...o(╥﹏╥)o, don't skip chapters and add your own settings, what about using the Holy Grail to draw incense to replenish magic power? When did I say there was such a setting? I said that the Holy Grail was used to collect information, just like summoning Heroic Spirits, but to collect cognitive information to fabricate Shadow Servants and Phantoms. I made it very clear.

Also, don't skip ahead! Chapter 72 just mentioned that reality doesn't have supernatural soil, yet the protagonist somehow manages to replenish mana regardless of external circumstances. The Greater Holy Grail uses less and less, and even mentions that "Irena, the Winter Saint, who has been granted the Third Law, appears in the outside world. She will also continuously consume her own mana. Unable to draw from the outside world, she will immediately perish when her mana is completely depleted." Don't skip ahead. You're adding a side story without knowing what I wrote. And why is it that Irena can rule the world? Wow, what are these side story ideas that I added that I thought I wrote, but I never wrote? Irena's normal job is to decipher and analyze Type-Moon world magic, and then she's also a technician's location. You're letting the two scumbags, the Witch and Merry, merge to rule the world? Or, when they can't replenish their mana, they're using mind control to rule... Type-Moon magic isn't that convenient with mental suggestion. Do you really need to handle each one individually? Letting a technician handle this time-consuming and laborious operation? Don’t fall into the dead end of the theory that mind control is omnipotent!

Never mind, let me tell you in advance, there's a reason why the Wild Hunt can come here and appear in a magic-free environment, because this isn't the main character. The original design of the mid-pressure is for remote control, and the power supply isn't on the armor...

Despair, don't skip chapters. Even if you do, don't add any secondary settings that I haven't written or mentioned.

Third instance: 78. Sudden warning from humanoid mecha (5k+)

three days later.

In a desolate wilderness outside the city.

Irena stood before the Greater Holy Grail, which had transformed into a golden tower. In her hand, she held a staff inlaid with blue gemstones. On the ground where she stood, a complex magic circle was drawn with her at the center.

At this moment, Irena's expression was unusually serious, with a faint magical light flashing in her glass-colored pupils. Her clothes were no longer the usual witch robe + white shirt combination, but a white hooded robe. She wore black stockings with gold edges on her legs, and a pair of white gold-rimmed high heels on her feet. Her long white hair hung behind her, fluttering in the air without wind.

It was obvious that the attire she was wearing now was not that of the Grey Witch, but rather the attire of Merlie, the self-proclaimed Lady of Avalon, who appeared in both the FGO mobile game and the arcade worldline, and was the "female Merlin" from the worldline where the old sword was located, according to the information contained in the possessed Caster spirit base.

Of course, this white hooded robe is not a Noble Phantasm, but Irena chose to consume her own magic power to materialize it, which also means that she has to use the power of the spiritual base with all her strength, which is the Noble Phantasm of Lady Avalon Merry as a Servant.

Inside the circular magic circle on the ground, which was filled with a large number of complex runes and symbols, was an eight-pointed star with a pattern of overlapping moon and sun. If a magician from the Type-Moon world were here, they would recognize that it was a magic circle used for a séance ceremony.

This is the Heroic Spirit Summoning Circle necessary for the Servants to descend into the Holy Grail War.

"Are you ready?"

"anytime."

"Now let the [Great Holy Grail] provide me with magic power."

Xia Yan's thoughts moved slightly, and the golden tower-shaped [Holy Grail] behind Irena suddenly glowed with white light, followed by a visible airflow blowing around the Heroic Spirit Summoning Formation. There were also wisps of lightning flashing in the air, as if summoning a Heroic Spirit.

But this is not summoning a heroic spirit.

Irena placed the sapphire magic circle on the ground, staring at Xia Yan with burning eyes, and asked solemnly in an ethereal tone:

"Just ask; you are my Master."

"Yes."

"Then the contract is established."

The words fell.

Xia Yan immediately felt a slight stinging pain on the back of his right hand. He raised his right hand and saw three scarlet command seals appearing on the back of his hand.

"Although the Command Seals are merely crystallized mana, and the outside world of this world lacks mana, nor do there exist any rules related to 'mystery,' which greatly reduces the effectiveness of many magecraft. Furthermore, the wish-granting mechanism of the [Greater Holy Grail] makes wishes like world domination merely daydreams. However, sufficient mana can, under certain conditions, slightly distort reality..."

Irena explained:

"...Especially if the object of this reality-distorting effect is a 'Heroic Spirit', three Command Seals can allow the contracted Servant to unleash abilities beyond their own limits."

"For example... a Noble Phantasm?"

"Yes, a Noble Phantasm."

Irena nodded.

"Later, using three Command Spells to issue a mandatory order, I will be able to fully unleash the power of my spiritual-based Noble Phantasm. I will also appropriately adjust the coordinates of the necromancy formation, changing the original 'summon here' to 'summon afar'... Alright, let's begin!"

"In the name of all the Command Seals."

Xia Yan raised his right hand in front of him and pointed it at Irena.

"Use your Noble Phantasm!"

The next moment, the three command spells turned into red light and disappeared. A strong wave of magic power instantly erupted from Irena's body, squeezing the surrounding air and causing an even more violent gale.

Irena raised the sapphire magic circle that was also materialized from the spiritual intelligence of Lady Avalon, Meli, and whispered the spell to release the true name of the treasure. The runes in the magic circle on the ground also lit up one by one as she whispered.

"A distant paradise, a blossoming hope, I send you a fragrance. Even though it is far away, it is clearly there. Embrace the bud and move forward—"

The magical fluctuations in the air grew louder as she chanted the spell, and the surrounding scene began to distort, as if space itself was being torn apart.

"——Virtual Noble Phantasm, Pseudo-Deployment/Avalon!"

The moment the true name of the Noble Phantasm was read out.

A pink light emerged with Irena as the center, and countless white petals fell in the light. Xia Yan only had time to put the [Great Holy Grail] back into the storage space of the magic weapon page, and then he saw a flower in front of his eyes. The surrounding scene changed instantly, from an open space in the wilderness to a sea of ​​pink flowers that stretched as far as the eye could see.

In the distance, there is an inverted white tower standing in the center of the sea of ​​flowers.

“Is there an Avalon in Dalian, or an Avalon in Lanzhou?!”

"What the hell are you asking?"

Irena, who had no idea what Xia Yan was up to, glanced at him speechlessly.

"This world lacks a stellar inner sea, and thus no alternate dimension called Avalon. The original effect of the Noble Phantasm was supposed to project Avalon within the stellar inner sea, but now, it can only construct a simulated space using the information contained within the spirit base. You could also think of it as using the information about Avalon contained within the spirit base to create a barrier called 'Avalon.'"

"While this [Inherent Barrier - Avalon] is certainly not as good as the real Avalon, through my adjustments, it can also possess some of Avalon's functions."

"For example: If someone enters this inherent barrier and is still breathing, they can avoid death. By reconstructing and simulating some of the rules of the inner sea of ​​the star, the spatial coordinates of the inherent barrier will become blurred, effectively preventing outsiders from forcibly breaking in..."

"Of course, I can also use this ambiguity in spatial coordinates to tamper with the entrance and exit locations of the inherent barrier..."

As he was speaking, Xia Yan noticed that the upside-down white tower that was originally located in the center of the sea of ​​flowers in the distance suddenly began to rapidly enlarge in front of his eyes.

Only a few seconds passed.

The white tower has arrived in front of him.

then.

Heaven and earth are upside down.

Before Xia Yan could react.

The sky and the ground alternate with each other.

The sea of ​​flowers came above his head.

The sky appeared beneath his feet.

next second.

Xia Yan fell down.

Falling towards the endless sky below.

At this time.

There was also a hint of joy in Irena's voice.

"Oh, I forgot to mention that while blurred spatial coordinates can be used for transfer, doing so will also cause you to fall out of Avalon... If you're unlucky, you might even end up falling for a very long time within a distance where the spatial coordinates are blurred."

"Do you think I'm Fu Fu?"

Xia Yan looked speechlessly at Irena who was getting farther and farther away from him.

Then, he summoned the EX curry stick that had been refined into a handy flying sword from the storage space on the magic weapon page. With a flick of his finger, the Sword of Promised Victory flew to his feet, holding him back from falling.

"Tsk."

A smacking sound was heard.

Xia Yan looked up and saw Irena surrounded by a pink whirlwind, with countless flying petals around her, slowly and lightly descending.

If nothing unexpected happens, Irena, who possesses the spirit of Lady Merri of Avalon and inherits the memories of the mortal dregs 'Female Merlin', should have just wanted to recreate the classic scene of 'Cathy Palug falling from Avalon'.

But Xia Yan is not Fu Fu in the FGO world line.

This crumb among crumbs, a mixture of crumbs and crumbs, did not succeed.

After Xia Yan turned his gaze over, Irena immediately put on a cute smile, as if she had done nothing, trying to get away with it by being cute to him.

In this regard.

Xia Yan sneered.

He just gave her a look that said, "Just wait and see how I'll deal with you in bed when we get back."

This also made Irena, who instantly understood his eyes, not only blushed slightly on her cheeks, but also subconsciously clamped her thighs together.

Just like that, one person rode the sword and the other rode the wind, and they flew silently towards the sky below their feet, flying for several minutes without stopping.

Xia Yan noticed that the surrounding scenery had distorted again.

In the blink of an eye, the clear sky was no longer under my feet, but was replaced by a primeval forest shrouded in the night, covered with a layer of silver frost on the ice and snow.

"Here we are."

There was a hint of weakness in Irena's voice.

"Now, through the fuzzy spatial coordinates of 'Avalon', we have been transferred to the other side of the world with a time difference of seven hours."

As she spoke, she moved closer, enveloped in a pink whirlwind. When she got close enough, the whirlwind and petals surrounding her suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Xia Yan also took advantage of the situation and caught Irena in a princess hug. Looking at the girl in his arms, the tired look on her face, he said:

"Excuse me, Irena—after this, please return to the interior of the Greater Holy Grail and rest!"

"Ah."

Irena responded and rested her head on Xia Yan's shoulder, letting him carry her down to the forest below. She then summoned the [Great Holy Grail] again, opened the light gate leading to the inner space, and stepped in.

Afterwards, Xia Yan asked the 'Spirit of the Weapon' to use its magic power to project a bed out of thin air, and gently placed Irena on it.

After returning to the sea of ​​flowers in the interior of the [Great Holy Grail], the rich magic power that filled the surroundings replenished the magic power consumed by Irena when she used the Noble Phantasm to construct 'Avalon' and simulate part of the rules of the inner sea of ​​the star, and carried out a long-distance space transfer of more than 7,000 kilometers, easing the fatigue on her face a lot.

But in the short term, unless Xia Yan chooses to come to the scene for an in-depth discussion to replenish her magic, she will need to absorb the magic power inside the [Holy Grail] for a period of time to completely get rid of her current weak state.

"By the way, Xia Yan...remember to be safe."

Irena, who was lying on the bed, gave the instructions with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face.

"Ok."
