Xingtie: Can’t you just let me focus on completing the commissions?

"It is true that Su died completely after handing over the Thousand Realms One Vehicle to you, but that was only physical death. His spirit ascended to a higher realm. He is currently playing a game of chess with a high-dimensional individual who has surpassed human intelligence."

"And in this process, he can still look down on everything here from a high dimension. Although his viewpoint does not cover the entire world, he will continue to observe the viewpoints of a very few specific objects."

"As long as you actively seek out his existence, there is a possibility of communicating with him."

In the current civilization, Su wouldn't focus on many targets: Gretchen, who has left Earth; Durandal, who inherited his legacy; and the likes of Fu Hua and Kevin...

but,

After Emiya brought many people from the pre-parallel civilization to this world, Sue probably already observed their existence, and even... he himself was within his observational perspective.

"So, can you hear me? [Su]"

Facing the empty space, Emiya tried asking a question, and then...

His response was,

A long silence followed.

"It doesn't look like it will work, so I'll leave this to you, Durandal."

"I understand."

Otto could be considered her mentor, but he was definitely not a good person. According to Rita, he repeatedly hindered humanity's progress in defeating the Honkai for his own selfish desires.

Even she could not forgive such a heinous act.

Moreover, as a prisoner, she doesn't really have the right to think about what fate will bring next.

"Why must we come to this point where we are enemies of the whole world, Bishop?"

……

"K423, Theresa, and my good student Durandal—have all the crucial pieces fallen into the opponent's hands?"

"However, it doesn't matter... Their value lies solely in ultimately eliminating me, this evil spirit that remains in the human world."

"When the demon's obsession dissipates, it is not bad to consider this head as the hero's achievement."

"The infamous villain Otto Apocalypse, perhaps one day this soul-steel head will reappear in history, becoming a trophy of Perseus and Minamoto no Yorimitsu, leaving behind a single line of text?"

Upon learning from the Destiny base that Durandal had also fallen into the Sky Dome, Otto understood that the possibility of his side shaking Sky Dome City was very slim.

but,

Whether it's Sky City or Destiny, at this moment, in this day and age, it doesn't really mean much anymore.

"The beacon of the Imaginary Tree is now the most crucial thing. The Void Treasury—is there no record of this part in your database?"

"Do you think that kind of thing can be backed up so easily? My poor kid."

"So I can only rely on myself to explore slowly? Su, the wise man of the previous civilization, why didn't you leave behind the coordinates of the Imaginary Tree?"

"It's probably still to guard against you, Otto. You've lived a long time, but he's lived even longer and seen much more."

Yeah……

The bishop sighed silently. The feeling of being slammed shut just when he was about to achieve his plan was truly unpleasant.

but,

Over the course of five hundred years, Otto Apocalypse had become accustomed to this experience.

"We must obtain this data from other people in the previous civilization. I wonder if my old friend knows about it."

Otto thought of Fu Hua, whom he had shot, and his eyes narrowed slightly. Fu Hua's body possessed extraordinary immortality. Although her head had been pierced by the Heavenly Fire, it did not mean that she had no chance of survival.

If we could obtain memories related to the previous civilization from the mind of that Crimson Kite Immortal, we might be able to gain more clues about it.

"Independent exploration cannot stop."

"Fine, as long as it doesn't affect my plans, Sky City, Durandal, and Theresa are all irrelevant."

He abandoned the idea of ​​reclaiming the three contemporary Valkyries he had nurtured. If the goal of Sky City was to overthrow Schicksal and become the new administrator of the Honkai events, he wouldn't care. In the five hundred years he had existed in this world, he had accumulated too many resources. Even if he gave up his position as the Bishop of Schicksal, he still had enough resources to use the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle to dig out the exact coordinates of the Imaginary Tree.

Whether this timeframe is five years, ten years, or even another five hundred years, or even fifty thousand years...

However, if the end of this generation occurs and Earth is destroyed again, he might need to prepare a shelter that can withstand the final blow.

"No matter the cost, I will bring you back. Wait for me, Karen."

……

The development progress of Tianqiong City is encouraging.

With the conclusion of Durandal's final test representing Schicksal, Schicksal did not send any more Valkyrie units for the next two to three weeks.

They have likely abandoned the rescue operation.

This choice,

This also made Yulandel understand some things.

She once regarded him as her mentor, but now, she had largely repaid for the many victories she had achieved for Schicksal, in addition to his use of her genes to cultivate Kiana and the past events of shooting her down from her spacecraft.

Let's settle this grudge.

With a silent sigh, Yulandale settled down obediently in Sky City.

Meanwhile, within Sky Dome City, with the improvement of management systems and the aid of anti-entropy, laboratories have produced equipment capable of cleaning up Honkai energy, and have begun to disperse a large population towards the city's outskirts.

Fu Taibu's administrative skills truly befitted her status as a candidate for general. A mere two or three hundred million people were hardly a challenge for her. In just one month, Tianqiong City had returned to its former prosperity, even surpassing its former glory.

Despite persistent population and employment pressures, there is now a possibility of de-ruralization and complete centralized urbanization. Multiple construction plans are being continuously pushed forward under Fu Taibu's leadership.

Now that things have come to this, Mr. Emiya can basically step down from his position as a resource-producing tool and start arranging other things.

For example, a journey to the Sea of ​​Quanta.

For example, the Dragon Slayer equipment and plans that the Fairy Tail world has been urging for a long time...

and also……

The contact information came from the Black Tower space station.

"The new simulated universe is ready... Machinery and gold, or a global locust plague? As long as it's fun, that's fine."

Chapter 218: Now it's time to divide up the Black Tower Men.

"The Black Tower told me to come back and test the simulated universe, but where is she?"

Back at the Black Tower Space Station, Mr. Emiya couldn't wait to begin his new weekly mission. The previous basic simulation universes all had fixed backgrounds and uninteresting historical outcomes.

The subsequent expansion packs were different; to put it bluntly, 80% of the historical content of the entire Star Iron Universe was supplemented through simulated universes.

"The answer is that a huge void has appeared in the simulated universe. It cannot be observed or interfered with, yet it can still function normally."

"There's a shit mountain code?!"

"In conclusion, it can be understood that, according to the information from the Candlelight Society, this empty content belongs to a period of history known as the School Wars after the Second Imperial War."

A war between schools of thought?

Mr. Emiya stroked his chin; the term was rather unfamiliar to him.

"A new expansion? It's already transitioned to story content that I don't know about, bro?"

For this,

He didn't have many thoughts on this. If people are anxious about things they don't know, then humanity should drown before it has consciousness and intellect.

Always wandering in known stories is like throwing an adult into a swimming pool less than 1.6 meters deep. Although 137 can feel the water going over his shoulders and through his neck, he can feel his feet firmly on the ground. This usually doesn't count as swimming, or even floating.

New things always coexist with the unknown and dangers.

And coincidentally, he now has a certain amount of anticipation for these things.

Perhaps it was because the door to exploration was opened?

Emiya had no idea when his changes began, but in the present moment, he was indeed somewhat interested in this unknown expansion pack.

"Observing that void from the outside yields no observable or useful information; it is merely a chaotic 'unknowable domain.'"

"This unknown domain has a certain impact on the simulated universe, and may affect the accuracy of future calculations regarding the 'global locust plague' in the simulated universe."

"Ms. Black Tower showed unusual enthusiasm for the restoration work on the 'Unknown Realm,' volunteering to access the simulated universe. Shortly after, we lost contact, and even all her dolls crashed."

Ok?

Mr. Emiya's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately smiled and spoke.

"All the puppets have crashed? Can't I take this opportunity to grab a few Black Tower minifigures?"

"In conclusion, it is possible, but without Ms. Black Tower's authorization, there is a greater than 99.7% chance that it will be revoked."

"A 0.3% chance is worth a gamble."

But jokes aside, Black Tower is a woman who holds grudges quite a bit. Mr. Emiya has no intention of offending her yet; he still has many projects that require the help of Black Tower's genius mind.

"Should I go look for her?"

"In conclusion, the best solution is to locate Lady Black Tower first, and then force her escape, although..."

"Alright, let's get it working. I'm here to play a new game anyway, so let's skip the long-winded prologue and get to the test right away!!!"

The omnic monarch nodded, then added,

"By maintaining contact with you from the outside and monitoring the system's operation, I can ensure that your personal safety is not compromised."

"If there's an exit button, then let's get started!"

He ran directly to the login platform of the simulated universe, and the familiar feeling of weightlessness instantly entered his brain.

After a short while,

In a virtual, empty world,

Emiya heard Screw's voice again.

"This region carries incalculable risks. Logically, I must explain to you the relevant background information of this region, the causes and consequences of the 'School Wars.'"

"The 'Scepter' system, an inorganic bionic neuron cluster created by Rupert II, is a celestial-level computational interferometry device widely deployed throughout the empire's territory, carrying out the observation, calculation, execution, and interference commands assigned by Rupert II."

Astronomical computer?

An external brain?

In an instant, a term that best suited his understanding came to mind.

"After the Second Imperial War, the company seized a large number of 'Scepter' units and transferred them to the Erudite Society for research."

"Got it, those bastards from the same school of thought are starting to fight each other over computing power."

Emiya scoffed. Without a second thought, he knew that while he wasn't a genius or a scholar from the Academy of Erudition, he understood the inherent flaws of human nature. Academic cliques were common even in primitive civilizations, who believed that once they possessed advanced knowledge, they should have priority access to resources in those fields.

The term "school war" and the capture of the astronomical calculator directly illustrate the main theme of this period of history.

"In conclusion, the various schools of thought are vying for computing power due to the ongoing interstellar energy war, which has further evolved into a war among schools of thought over the 'Scepter System.'"

"History is a circle. Humanity... or rather, the only lesson that intellectual life can learn from history is that it never learns from history."

Amidst laughter, Emiya landed at the edge of a virtual universe. He wandered through this unfamiliar virtual cosmos, guided by Screwgun, venturing deeper into the realm of the unknowable.

With few obstacles, she easily found the Black Tower figure's trail. She stood alone on the edge of the Unknown Realm, looking out into it from her own perspective. The Unknown Realm appeared to be covered by distorted light and shadow, like clumps of yarn.

He walked to the Black Tower's side, gazing intently at the tiny figure within. After a moment, a powerful four-word phrase, imbued with a strong sense of understanding, emerged from his combined rational and emotional insights.

"She's so beautiful!!"

Her petite figure, with a touch of childlike innocence, is a posture that can arouse a man's paternal desires.

However, she is a woman who could be my mother (outrageous statement).

If she were sitting on a white plastic stool right now, she would be an absolute beauty who could seduce me!

"Have you seen enough?"

Emiya's arrival snapped Black Tower out of her daze. She rolled her eyes and then spoke in her usual arrogant, bratty tone.

"If you've seen enough, move aside. This area is not open for testing for the time being. Go somewhere else and don't cause trouble here."

Was that a question you just asked?

"……What do you think."
