Why are all of us who transmigrated at the same time demons?

As for the specific purpose of this enormous magical artifact... in Loran's view, it's somewhat like a library? Or perhaps an enormous cloud storage?

It contains a large number of techniques and knowledge. As long as you connect your thoughts to it, you can mobilize them and wield powerful forces.

However, this massive cloud library is not accessible to just anyone. To connect to it, one needs a corresponding account and password. Based on the knowledge learned from the original owner's memories, it should require something called a "thought key".

The original owner should have had two accounts; their family had inherited two accounts, and they were high-level member accounts, but they have now been lost.

As for why it was lost.....

"Your Majesty, my very own Majesty! Why have you come to the main hall again?"

"Your Majesty, do not be alarmed, we are coming to your rescue!"

Below, the eunuchs and guards panicked and surrounded the hall where Loran was standing.

Loran pursed his lips, indicating that it was no big deal.

That's right, the body that Loran possessed belonged to was an emperor, and his identity was quite famous in history.

His name was Liu Xie, a seventh-generation descendant of Emperor Guangwu of Han, the second son of Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, and the half-brother of Emperor Shao of Han, Liu Bian. He would later have a well-known posthumous title—Emperor Xiaoxian of Han (Cao Rui's posthumous title).

That's right. His family actually has two inherited thought keys. One belongs to the Western Han Dynasty and originated from Liu Bang, the son of the Red Emperor and the founder of the Han Dynasty. It is named "Chixiao" and was perfected and maintained for nearly two hundred years during the Western Han Dynasty.

However, this thought key was downgraded during Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han throne. The thought key that the imperial family now relies on is called "Chifu". Its name is taken from the prophecy "Chifu Fu", which symbolizes that Emperor Shizu inherited the fire virtue of the former Han dynasty and also represents the unique prophecy of the new dynasty.

But now, the "Red Steed" key pattern, which symbolized the inheritance of the Han imperial family, has also been lost.

When Dong Zhuo seized power, the young emperor was killed. Out of fear, Dong Zhuo did not allow Liu Xie to inherit the "Red Crouching" key pattern immediately. Instead, he allowed Liu Xie to inherit the "Red Sky" key pattern, which was one level lower.

However, this move was also to create momentum for Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital to Chang'an. After all, Chang'an was the old capital, which matched the old "Chixiao" key pattern. Dong Zhuo used this to demonstrate his determination to move the capital.

After Dong Zhuo entered Chang'an, he did not think about construction. Instead, he stayed in the "Meiwu" he had built for a long time, indulging in pleasure. As a result, Liu Xie was unable to complete the inheritance of the "Chifu" key pattern.

Later, Dong Zhuo was killed by Wang Yun in alliance with the filial son Lü Bu. Not long after, Wang Yun and Lü Bu were defeated by Li Jue and Guo Si. Wang Yun died, Lü Bu fled, and Liu Xie, the emperor, was kidnapped by Li Jue and Guo Si, and had no chance to inherit the "Red Fu" key pattern.

During this turbulent period, the young Emperor Liu Xie was unable to inherit the ancestral key pattern, and even lost the key pattern in the chaos of war.

Now, Liu Xie is about to be held hostage by Cao Cao to command the other warlords. However, according to normal history, Cao Cao would certainly not leave the emperor in Luoyang, but would take him back to his own stronghold.

However, during the turbulent journey, Liu Xie became flustered and confused, and was eventually seized by Luo Lan to possess him.

Knowing the future history, Loran wouldn't be foolish enough to run to Cao Cao's stronghold. He directly ordered all officials to stay in Luoyang and remain in the dilapidated Luoyang Imperial Palace.

Frankly, this era is neither scientific nor historical.

Putting aside the issue of mind patterns, there probably wasn't any black stockings in the Han Dynasty, and concubines likely wouldn't have exposed their legs.

However, in Liu Xie's harem, there were a lot of female officials and palace maids walking around the palace with their long legs bare, and Empress Fu was even wearing purple-patterned black stockings under her phoenix robe, can you believe it?

Loran looked thoughtful, the strange thought pattern giving him a sense of déjà vu, as well as the woman's revealing clothing.

Could he have entered a timeline from some other month?

Before Loran's transmigration, he had some knowledge of Type-Moon, but only from watching the anime series Fate/Zero/FSN/FA and playing the mobile game FGO. However, his understanding of the FGO mobile game was limited to playing up to the point where Goetia was defeated; he only had a basic understanding of the Lostbelts that followed.

Regarding intelligence from the Chinese side of the Type-Moon universe, he knew things like the sharpshooter Li Shuwen and the star destroyer Qin Shi Huang.

However, Loran was too lazy to dwell on it. Without "Chifu", there was no "Chifu". In his hands, "Chixiao" was no worse than "Chifu", and was even much stronger.

Like the pair of divine eyes mentioned earlier, which were known as the "Thousand-Mile Eyes" in that cloud library, the "Crimson Sky" keyprint did not actually have the authority to activate the "Thousand-Mile Eyes." Loran used his exceptional hacking skills to leverage the "Crimson Sky" keyprint to access a higher level of power.

However, Loran didn't go too far. After all, he could sense that this cloud library was shared by a group of people, and there were several very powerful beings watching it. If the hacker went too far, he would be easily exposed.

Loran directly used "Crimson Sky" and hacking technology to mobilize the supernatural powers of the Cloud Library's "Puppet Master" and "Bean Scattering Soldiers" parts, using the remaining materials from Luoyang City to create a large number of puppet warriors, one for protecting the emperor and the other for labor.

Having accumulated initial resources, Loran activated the wisdom of the other world and began to utilize the dragon vein beneath Luoyang.

In the Naruto world, Loran was a master at utilizing the Dragon Vein, and he even used the Dragon Vein to create an automated machine soldier system that spread throughout the entire Amegakure village.

Having experienced many worlds, his understanding of both dragon veins and puppetry has become much deeper.

With the help of puppeteers and Yellow Turban warriors (Zhang Jiao probably died with his eyes wide open, and the officials were also horrified), Loran created another creation called "Hercules God and Demon".

With the help of the superior Hercules, Loran quickly rebuilt the new Luoyang City and restored its protective barrier system by relying on the underground dragon vein. The administrative team resumed operation, and the scattered Luoyang people returned to the city and settled down to their livelihoods.

When Cao Cao arrived with his army, he was stunned to see a magnificent and well-preserved city standing on the site of the former Luoyang.

"My lord, does the Emperor... really still need us to save him?" Mao Jie stared blankly at the giant city, then uttered a question from the depths of his soul.

Chapter 271 Type-Moon: Battlefield Sniper Showdown with Han Immortal Emperor

Outside Luoyang City, banners and flags obscured the sky.

Cao Cao's massive army, like a dark cloud pressing down on the city, set up camp ten miles outside Luoyang. The camps stretched endlessly, resembling a lurking black dragon ready to take flight and devour this ancient capital at any moment.

Cao Cao outside Luoyang City once adopted a posture of attacking the city, which greatly puzzled Luo Lan.

Which version of Cao Cao is this? Openly attacking Luoyang and taking action against the emperor, could this be Cao Cao from the new Three Kingdoms?

Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure it out, a commotion suddenly broke out in Cao Cao's camp. The once orderly military formation rippled like water after a stone was thrown in.

The sounds of shouts, clashing weapons, and neighing warhorses mingled together, and could be faintly heard even from this distance.

"Huh?" Loran's eyes narrowed slightly, a barely perceptible golden light flashing within them. He activated his divine eye, his gaze piercing through the distance of space, taking in the entire scene within Cao's army camp.

This discovery astonished him even more. There was indeed internal strife within Cao Cao's camp. No, it was less of an internal conflict and more of a one-man showdown against the entire army.

"Someone's using a cheat code?" Loran rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

In his divine vision, the central area of ​​Cao Cao's camp was already in chaos.

Soldiers surged toward a focal point like a tidal wave, only to scatter and fly apart as if hitting a reef. In the center of the chaos, a fiery red figure stood out conspicuously.

Loran took a closer look; the man's features were so distinctive that he could be recognized at a glance.

He wore a three-pronged purple-gold crown that gleamed in the sunlight; a crimson brocade robe adorned with a hundred flowers, the patterns on it seemingly swaying in the wind; a chainmail armor with beast-faced heads, each plate gleaming with a cold light; and a finely carved lion-mane belt around his waist, the lions carved on it lifelike. He carried a bow and arrows, and held a halberd, its blade gleaming coldly in the sunlight. He rode a fiery red steed, the Red Hare, its body like a flowing flame.

"Among men, Lü Bu; among horses, Red Hare." Luo Lan murmured these eight words, her mind filled with doubts. "Isn't Lü Bu in Xuzhou right now? How did he end up fighting Cao Cao at the gates of Luoyang?"

"And there's only one person? And he doesn't seem very bright."

Loran was somewhat puzzled, but soon, his clairvoyance saw through Lu Bu's true nature.

“It’s not a pure flesh and blood body, but a product of the condensation of spiritual energy into a material form.” Loran realized something. “According to Type-Moon, this should be what is called the body of a heroic spirit.”

Although Lü Bu was brave, Cao Cao's army was not to be underestimated. Moreover, Lü Bu had just been defeated by Cao Cao a year ago, and Cao Cao was very familiar with this old rival.

At first, they may have been thrown off balance by the characteristics of Lü Bu's spirit, but soon the generals found a way to deal with it and began to encircle Lü Bu.

"How interesting... Lu Bu himself is still alive, yet his spirit has been summoned?" Loran burst into laughter.

The laughter quickly subsided, and Loran began to ponder, "Why is the heroic spirit Lu Bu here?" He looked around, sensing the unusual energy flowing in the air. "Could it be that because of my arrival, this place has been designated as a singularity?"

Loran was quite interested in the unique existence of Heroic Spirits in Type-Moon.

"Since that's the case, why not give it a try myself?" Loran made up his mind and decided to intervene in this battle.

He drew the Emperor's Sword from his waist. The sword had an ancient design, and the scabbard was engraved with a pattern of kui dragons, each scale clearly visible. Loran tapped the end of the scabbard to the ground, producing a dull thud, as if striking an invisible drum.

With that sound, the entire underground of Luoyang City seemed to come alive. Streams of earth vein energy surged from the depths of the earth, flowing along specific veins and eventually converging at several key nodes in the city.

This is a comprehensive defense system for the two palaces, meticulously arranged by Loran, connected to the underground dragon vein, capable of mobilizing the earth vein energy of the entire Luoyang.

Suddenly, three cracks appeared in the ground around the infantry, archers, and cavalry battalions of the five schools of the Northern Army. Accompanied by the roar of machinery, three giant puppets slowly rose from the ground.

The first one is a humanoid infantry god-demon, about three zhang tall, made entirely of blood-patterned steel. Blood-red lines, like blood vessels, cover the entire infantry god-demon's body, rising and falling as if breathing. A huge and ferocious horse-slaying sword is fixed to its back.

The second one is the Shooting God, which has three faces and six arms, each arm holding a different ranged weapon. Some arms are equipped with devices similar to crossbows, while others are nozzle-like devices. The most eye-catching are the two arms in the center, which together support a strangely shaped long-barreled cannon, the barrel of which is covered with runes.

The third unit is the Divine Horseman, with the lower body shaped like a horse, its six powerful mechanical legs making a dull thud as they stomped on the ground. The upper body is humanoid, wielding a lance that blends mechanical and mysterious styles, and its back is equipped with wing-like devices.

"Let's test the military-grade versions of the Hercules, Infantry Hercules, Archery Hercules, and Cavalry Hercules!" Loran looked at the three behemoths with satisfaction.

He recently optimized the Hercules' power core to better suit local characteristics. The types of energy that the power core can use have been greatly expanded, no longer limited to ley line energy.

Loran even referenced the power technology of the twelve bronze statues of the First Emperor in the Cloud Library, further increasing the energy density.

“I call it the Solar Furnace,” Loran thought with no small amount of pride. “Due to the short time it has been around, it is not yet comparable to the original GN Solar Furnace, but it is absolutely superior to the energy technology of the current era.”

As soon as Loran had a thought, red light simultaneously shone in the eyes of the three gods and demons.

"Gundam, deploy!"

At this moment, an absurd battle, completely unlike anything seen in ancient times, is breaking out outside Luoyang City.

In this late Eastern Han Dynasty, marked by mysterious elements, Cao Cao's army boasted an astonishing 100% armor coverage. And this wasn't the crude kind that could barely be called armor, but rather meticulously crafted, standardized lamellar armor forged from refined steel. The armor plates were linked together with tanned cowhide ropes, ensuring both flexibility and protection.

Even more surprisingly, Cao Cao's army also included a force of at least two thousand heavily armored cavalry. These cavalrymen and their horses were completely encased in iron armor, with only their eyes visible.

Loran also noticed that the warhorses were equipped with what appeared to be auxiliary exoskeletons, making these heavily armored cavalrymen truly unstoppable like tanks when charging.

Moreover, duels between generals seem to be quite popular in this world, perhaps because Type-Moon designed the Three Kingdoms based on the style of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." From time to time, generals from Cao Cao's army would ride out alone to fight Lü Bu.

Although most of them were no match for Lü Bu, it was clear that these generals were all extraordinary individuals.

The halberd in Lü Bu's hand is called the Five Weapons of the God of War. It is a peerless weapon crafted by Chen Gong using the divine technology of the Xia Dynasty passed down in his family. It is a divine weapon that integrates slashing, thrusting, striking, cutting, and sweeping.

At this moment, Lü Bu's performance on the battlefield was like Dynasty Warriors come to life. Every swing of his halberd brought forth a gust of wind.

Even armored cavalry, which were as tough as tanks, were reduced to rubble by his halberd strike.

Although Cao Cao's generals weren't quite that outrageous, they were still like little superhumans.

A sword aura swept across, carving a deep trench in the ground; a slash unleashed a blade of energy that stretched for three zhang (approximately 10 meters); even more astonishingly, some weapons could fire attacks resembling light cannons, blasting deep craters across the battlefield.

No matter how brave Lü Bu was, he was only one person and soon found himself at a disadvantage.

"Brainless idiot!!" someone cursed under their breath at the edge of the battlefield. Seeing his comrade surrounded, he still decided to show himself and try to rescue him; after all, he was an important fighting force and couldn't just abandon him like that.

But before him, others had already made their moves.

Berserkers are always more easily provoked.

A majestic black giant, wielding magnificent golden double axes, entered the fray, unleashing his Noble Phantasm. His immortal legion followed their king, Darius III, into battle.

"What the hell is this?" Cao Cao, standing under the central banner, stroked his long beard in bewilderment as he looked at the Darius army, which was shrouded in deathly aura. "Could it be another spell cast by Zhang Jiao's remnants, summoning ghost soldiers?"

Meanwhile, in another corner of the battlefield, Hector, the hero of Troy, carrying the spear "The Undying Aurora," prepared to sneak into the battlefield from behind Darius's army.

The Greek-clad spirit intended to rescue Lü Bu amidst the chaos, but suddenly, a booming sound came from the direction of Luoyang City. He turned his head and his eyes widened instantly.

In his superior vision, three mechanical giants, like gods, emerged from the gates of Luoyang City, charging forward with overwhelming force. These mechanical giants were enormous, and each step they took left deep footprints in the ground, causing the earth to tremble slightly.

"What is this thing?" Hector gasped, unconsciously gripping his spear tighter. "It feels like I'm back on the battlefield of Troy!"

Recalling his experience facing the Trojan Horse and all sorts of wondrous creations of the Greek coalition during the Trojan War, Hector couldn't help but chuckle wryly: "Too exciting! This old man couldn't handle it!"

Of the three demonic entities, the Shooting Demon was the first to attack. Its three faces and six arms looked particularly ferocious in the sunlight, and its six mechanical arms simultaneously raised their loaded cannons, aiming at Darius's army of the dead.

Terrifying energy gathered at the muzzle, resembling six small suns, emitting a chilling light.

"Shooting Sound Battalion - Type 1 Yellow Crossbow!" Sitting on the throne in the South Palace, Loran softly uttered the name of the standard crossbow. His all-seeing eyes took in the entire battlefield situation, and a smile appeared on his lips.

The God and Demon unleashed a high-energy light cannon that resembled a torrent.

The six beams of light converged in the air into a thicker energy arrow, like a sword of divine punishment. With just a light sweep, nearly 60% of Darius's army was reduced to ashes.

Wherever the light cannon passed, a deep trench was plowed into the ground, and the soil and gravel were melted into a glass-like substance by the high temperature.

"This crossbow bolt should be on par with a city-destroying Noble Phantasm!"

"As everyone knows, Type-Moon cannot exist without light cannons. Light cannons are a unique feature of Type-Moon, and we must experience them!" Loran nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the destruction caused by his creation.

"Want to go for a sniper duel? I've got a big caliber."

Chapter 272 Type-Moon: The Mighty Han Dynasty

"Is this a large crossbow?"

Cao Cao subtly rolled his eyes. He had been leading troops for many years and had served as a military officer in the Eight Colonels of the Western Garden in Luoyang. How could he not know what the Yellow Crossbow of the Shooting Camp looked like?

Those must be powerful crossbows operated by strong soldiers, which can only be drawn by pulling at the waist and bending at the knee. They are engraved with talismans to increase their power and fire giant arrows with terrifying force. If a specific type of arrow is used, it can even shoot down ghosts and gods, but it is absolutely impossible to shoot out such a world-destroying stream of scorching light!

And what on earth is this iron lump? Where are the soldiers of the Shooting Sound Battalion?

According to the military system of the Great Han Dynasty, each of the five schools of the Northern Army should have between 700 and 1,200 men, which means that the five battalions should have a total of about 3,500 to 6,000 men.

If the five schools of the Northern Army were all made of such iron lumps, wouldn't the Han Dynasty have been able to suppress the mere Yellow Turbans? Would Dong Zhuo have dared to intimidate the capital? Where on earth did this brat Liu Xie get these unheard-of monsters?

Just as Cao Cao was internally ranting and raving about his worldview, the situation on the battlefield changed again.

The six-legged mechanical behemoth known as the "Tunqi God and Demon" suddenly started up under the cover of the beam cannon of the Shooting God and Demon!

Its six thick mechanical legs suddenly exerted force, and a deep energy hum emanated from the joints. Instead of moving forward cumbersomely, its massive body transformed into a silver lightning bolt, charging directly towards Darius's undead army with a terrifying speed completely disproportionate to its size!
