Hello, Fuyuki

Many things happened on Earth after Rovi landed on the moon.

The magnificent Roman Empire, encompassing Europa and extending its borders to North Asia and West Asia, reached its true zenith under the rule of Nero. Just as it reached its peak of power, the Emperor of Rome, Nero Claudius, vanished in a raging inferno.

It was neither a disaster nor a sudden assassination. The emperor, who was highly regarded both domestically and internationally, possessed the power to fight lions and rival the gods. It was impossible for him to die so easily.

The real reason was simply that of the Rose Emperor of Rome, and his own choice.

"I am the perfect emperor, but unfortunately, I am still a mortal and will grow old!"

"So that after you return, you can still appreciate my perfection."

"I will stay here—"

"Choose to leave!"

It was not death. For the King of the Realm, disappearing in the flames was merely a brief slumber.

After her death, the magnificent Roman Empire did not disintegrate, but was instead ruled by the Rose Emperor and Imperial Assistant—another uncrowned emperor who had long ago left a relatively stable system of governance for this vast territory.

It is a top-down system, not without flaws, but at least it can maintain basic operations for a short period of time without a ruler.

Yes, for a short time.

There is no perfect system in the world, nor is there an empire that lasts forever.

This is something everyone understands.

This was something Nero and Rovi knew from the very beginning.

They created Rome, but they did not intend for it to rule the world forever; they simply used it as a key to dispel the remnants of the ancient era and usher in a new age.

Soon after, Rome began to fall into turmoil.

Some of the barbarians who had been Romanized began to rebel—they only submitted to the Rose Emperor and the First Advisor of the Uncrowned Emperor.

The newly enthroned emperor was an arrogant and conceited ruler.

"Rome... is it finally starting to fall into turmoil...? That's right, with such a vast territory, I'm afraid no one but His Majesty Her Majesty Nero and Lord Rovi can hold it together."

It is said that it was a miracle that Nero was able to maintain his strength for decades after his death.

In the hundredth year of the Republic, Boudica, the governor of the Britannia Province, a teenager, gazed at the sea that separated the European continent from the mainland, and after a long time, sighed.

That face, though still beautiful, inevitably bore the marks of time, carrying a hint of longing.

Years.

Boudica declared himself 'King' and Britannia established the first Celtic people kingdom.

Though unwilling, this was the only way to maintain stability in Britannia.

After that, she lived in Camelot in central Britain, calling herself Queen of Camelot, and was regarded as the human incarnation of the Britannia goddess Camelot.

In the year 120, the aurora appeared in the sky above Britannia, and Boudica, over eighty years old, passed away under the gaze of Merlin, the primordial dragon of the world.

In 125 AD, Roman Emperor Hadrian announced the recapture of Roman territory, relinquishing most of the lands previously conquered by the Nero dynasty, returning to the original borders, and still referring to himself as 'Emperor', while appointing barbarian leaders from various regions as 'Kings' under the Emperor's command.

The assimilated barbarians established one state after another.

That same year, the mysterious court Magecraft of Rome abandoned the ' Fey's Eye ' and left the city of Rome.

Blythe took over completely and officially renamed it ' Clock Tower '.

It was officially transformed from an oversight agency into a place for storing and passing on Magecraft.

The teaching of Magecraft is categorized into twelve major subjects and seventy-two minor subjects.

In the second year of the Common Era, according to the mystical records, the Third Magic User disappeared in the Germanic region, leaving behind a legacy of True Magic that gave rise to the first Ainsworth, the second Third Magic User mastered incomplete True Magic.

It was also during this period.

Brunestud, the Crimson Moon who created countless Dead Apostle and ghouls, finally regained her power and returned to the moon. She reclaimed the power of the Moon's Ultimate Origin, but was suddenly attacked by a beam of light from above the moon and fell back to Earth. There she encountered the newly mastered Second Magic User True Magic, 'Kishia Zelkechi Schabishug', and was defeated and sealed away by him.

Before being sealed away, what he called out was not the name of his opponent, but the two words ' Rovi '.

The voice was filled with confusion and resentment.

In the 4th century AD, Attila, the Hunnic king and Scourge of God, was born. She set out from West Asia, swept across the Europa continent, destroyed countless Ming empires, and the Roman Empire.

The Eastern Roman Empire claimed to be the successor to Nero, with its supreme ruler being the "First Consul of the Roman Empire," while the Western Roman Empire claimed to be the successor to Rovi, with its supreme ruler being the "Empire's First Advisor."

In the fifth century AD, on the island of Britannia, as the influence of the primordial dragon dissipated, the true will of the island revived. A chalk dragon named Vortigern rose up over northern Britannia, bringing with it a brutal reign.

Uther, the young girl who inherited the throne of Boudica, met Melly, a half-elf Magecraft from Avalon, and with her help, created the British queen named ' Artoria ' using the concept of dragons and her own blood.

Meanwhile, Vivian, a fairy from Paradise, arrives in Britannia to eliminate the last effects of Rovi's influence and 'end' the Kingdom of Camelot.

Ten years later.

Artoria pulled the Sword in the Stone, and under the influence of Melly, she embarked on a path of imitating the uncrowned king of Europa, ' Rovi '.

In northern Britain, she drew the Holy Lance— Rhongomyniad: Anchor Release —and defeated Vortigern.

The King of Knights ' fame shone brightly throughout the land from that moment on.

"So... I slept right into the 20th century!?"

They've been asleep for over two thousand years!?

Surrounded by an endless tapestry of light and shadow, within a vast curtain woven from gold and red, Rovi stared blankly at what lay before him—

A little girl with white hair and a blue dress, and a little girl with black hair and a black dress.

Gaia the natural Counter Force of the planet, and Alaya the Primate Counter Force.

"That's right, you can really sleep!" Gaia said, hands on her hips, looking helpless. "You're probably the sleepiest person in the world—sleeping for two thousand years at a time, even pigs can't sleep as much as you!"

"Correction: Gaia can sleep better than you, then me, and maybe you last."

"Ha--?"

"Gaia slept for billions of years, from the birth of the planet until the natural environment stabilized before waking up, while I slept for hundreds of thousands of years, evolving from a primate until I broke free from the shackles of the gods before waking up."

"So the three of us can sleep better than pigs."

"???"

Gaia tilted her head, looking at Alaya was standing next to her with a serious expression. "Hey, hey, hey, which side are you on!?"

"I stand on the side of truth." Alaya said with a serious and sacred expression.

"..."

I have a feeling that these two Counter Force have become more active...

Rovi rubbed his forehead.

But then he suddenly laughed.

"Looks like I really slept for too long..."

Scenes of historical change flashed through his mind, and with Rovi's current abilities, it was not difficult for him to discern that they were all real.

Those were the memories of the planet that Gaia and Alaya played back for him.

Many things have happened in the world.

Rovi himself also experienced a lot.

After he abducted the Moon Cell with the Core of Chaos, he fell into the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, and from there he fell into the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, eventually descending to the Sea of Stars.

Sefar was thrown out of his hand, and he naturally knew it.

It is only knowing that it is true.

That wasn't the result of his conscious control; at that time, he was gradually unable to suppress the weariness that was creeping into his body.

His use of chaos to engulf the Moon Cell, forcibly transforming it and devouring the solar system-sized Spiritron Computer had a tremendous impact.

The massive amount of information flooded his mind, and the terrifying computing power was completely beyond Rovi's control.

Overloading and pushing beyond limits ultimately result in significant damage to consciousness caused by the erosion of time over a long period.

He didn't die.

Instead, has it fallen into a deep sleep?

Of course, the subsequent benefits are also readily apparent...

Moon Cell Licensing Rights: 51% (Stable).

His licensing rights to the Moon Cell have been completely stabilized at 51%.

This also means that he has officially joined the ranks of Star-making God.

"Star-making God, becoming an Earth UO is more than enough... But as you think, becoming Sea of Stars UO is still a long way off!" Gaia crossed his arms and snorted, "In the end, he's just a big talker—"

"By the way, where is the Cernunnos?" Rovi looked at Gaia, not forgetting Gaia's original purpose in seeking Rovi.

The threat from the god who had traversed the destroyed Lostbelt and was on the verge of death. "You took care of it yourself?"

"What Cernunnos?" Alaya tilted his head.

"Wait..." Gaia opened her mouth, trying to stop Alaya.

It was too late. "Wasn't that just passing by?"

"..."

So it turns out this silly little girl was just scaring herself?

Rovi looked at Gaia.

His face was full of pity... It can only be said that this is the natural Counter Force; his intelligence really needs to be developed!

"It's not a misunderstanding—" Gaia protested, "That guy just saw that you didn't exist in this world, so he went back!"

The gods of death came specifically for the Atlantis spark of life that was gestating within Rovi.

He entered the Sea of Stars, and Cernunnos could not sense his presence.

Naturally, it turned around and left.

"If I had known it would be so easy, I wouldn't have promised you a place in UO. I would have just banished you from the world!"

"If you don't give me a spot in UO, I'll tear you apart!" Rovi waved his hand and grinned, "The Star-making God already has the ability to kill the Counter Force!"

"That damned guy... he's gotten too cocky!?" Gaia's delicate little face was full of resentment.

"So Alaya really learned this from you? All he does is bully me?"

"This isn't my fault," Rovi said, spreading his hands.

Alaya tilted her head, looking completely innocent. "No, this is your own reason."

"You're so stupid!"

"Damn Alaya ..." Gaia took a deep breath, snorted, and her delicate face gradually calmed down. "But now that you've woken up, that Cernunnos from the Lostbelt could return at any time."

"It might just take you directly to that Lostbelt —a god who embodies the resentment of a planet's dead, but who is probably far inferior to you!"

Otherwise, why would Gaia have needed to be so vigilant?

"In short, we've told you everything you wanted to know."

"Whether it's the planet's memory or its subsequent development."

"Now—"

"You should leave, Earth's 'UO'."

"Just seeing you makes me feel annoyed!"

"Actually, Gaia was just worried that if you stayed in the Sea of Stars Gaia for too long, your mortal essence would be diluted," Alaya interjected. "Before you woke up, she came to see you several times a day and kept talking to me about it every day."

"Damn you, Alaya... I was only worried about myself, not you!"

Looking at the two Counter Force in front of him, one responsible for being arrogant and the other responsible for undermining the duo, Rovi's couldn't help but feel happy... Humans are visual creatures, and even though he has reached the level of a star-making artist, he still has a human side.

Watching two little girls interact cutely is much better than watching two balls of light spitting there.

"But is it just a matter of dilution? Well, that makes sense—we've been in the Sea of Stars 2,000 for over 2,000 years, it's time to leave." Rovi stretched his body.

He stood in the same spot, in the Sea of Stars, a space completely different from the dark and void of the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, woven from endless light and shadow.

I closed my eyes slightly and felt the changes within myself.

The humanoid form of Rovi stands here.

The Core of Chaos, Taiyi, resides deep within the consciousness.

The Mechanical Body stood in the center of the mist.

However, a huge quantum crystal computer now stands atop its head, compared to before.

Its radiance is like that of an eye.

Without a doubt, it is the ' Moon Cell ' that has been assimilated by Rovi.

Within that enormous spiritual crystal, invisible bands of light extended out, linking humans, Machine God, and chaos together.

If the previous fusion was merely Rovi manipulating the Machine God in human form and using the Core of Chaos through the Machine God, then at this moment, Rovi's's three states of existence have truly merged together, with the eleventh of the permission granted by the Moon Cell as the pivot.

The Three-Body Integration.

It has achieved the power to create something from nothing and to create stars.

Rovi opened his eyes.

"I'm leaving—don't think about me."

"Go to hell!" Gaia rolled her eyes.

Alaya lifted her skirt and bowed slightly. "Father, goodbye!"

Rovi waved his hand, sensing the traces of his 'present world', sensing the Earth on that timeline where he had been active.

His figure vanished instantly amidst the endless changes of light and shadow within the Sea of Stars.

"They've left..."

"Let them go then, I don't care!"

"Don't you care? But I can tell you're still reluctant, Gaia. But then again—once we're out of the Sea of Stars, we can't extract 'humanity' from him anymore."

The reason they were able to act so actively as Counter Force was undoubtedly because they had simulated the existence of humanity in Rovi's.

The degree of personification is becoming increasingly obvious.

And the more you feel your own existence.

"Father, your humanity is incomparably rich and pure, isn't it?" Alaya smiled.

"I don't want him to have any humanity..." Gaia retorted, "It's all your fault for dragging me into this simulation!"

"But weren't you even more proactive than me afterwards?"

"That was just for work purposes—"

Seeing Gaia still stubbornly resisting, Alaya, unusually, did not expose him this time. Instead, he suddenly spoke up and said, "Gaia, do you think... Father, could you become the UO of the Sea of Stars?"

Gaia looked at Alaya, who had suddenly become serious and earnest, and remained silent for a moment before speaking, "I don't know."

"However, I can sense that there are secrets about that guy that I don't know about."

"A secret... Even you, who have been watching Father from the very beginning, don't know my secret?"

"Yeah, I don't know, that guy's got a really tight mouth." Gaia sighed. "But compared to that, let's hurry up and watch the show in reality!"

"Watching a show?"

"That's right, those Magecraft have created the ' Holy Grail War '... This time it's something else!" Gaia exclaimed excitedly.

Alaya tilted her head, as if she had thought of something, and a light appeared in her dark eyes.

She nodded emphatically and made an "Mmm" sound.

The process of returning from the Sea of Stars to the present world is similar to, yet different from, the process of returning from the Sea of Imaginary Numbers to the present world.

If the Sea of Imaginary Numbers is an ocean, then the Sea of Stars is a system of 'groundwater' existing beneath the continents.

Crossing the ocean requires facing obstacles such as wind and waves.

For groundwater to reach the Earth's surface, it needs to pass through layers of the mantle.

The difficulty of both is similar, only the targeting is different—but for Rovi, neither is a problem anymore.

Whether it's crossing oceans or traversing the depths, it poses no obstacle to the Star-making God who can create the primordial environment of the stars.

The only problem is probably...

"Why is it so fragile!?" As light and shadow traversed his vision, Rovi floated on the Sea of Stars. He had clearly found his destination, found the world line where he had been active, a world line with countless records about him. He could enter it if he went any further, but he had to stop.

It's not that he can't do it, but that he can't—he doesn't know if it's because his own existence is too powerful, or because he has been in the Sea of Stars for too long, so that he has not been able to adapt to the intensity of the space, nor has he been able to get used to the weight of his own existence.

He almost tore the membrane covering the Earth's surface apart, causing damage comparable to a prehistoric meteorite impact!

The good girl returned.

Suppress, contract...

He must gather all the power that was emanating from him into his body—no, he must gather it directly into the Core of Chaos.

Another attempt, another failure.

It seems that it's still not enough.

Then suppress and tighten.

Rovi tried for a long time before finally succeeding.

Although it was the last time and still caused considerable turmoil, he managed to suppress it and prevent it from having an even greater impact, resulting only in turmoil without causing damage to the present world.

Just...

Strange phenomena appeared in the sky.

In the spring of 1994, the skies over East Asia suddenly brightened as if it were daytime at 10 p. m.

A shooting star streaked across the sky, and the aurora borealis shone brightly in the heavens.

Countless astronomers have attempted to analyze this anomaly from the perspective of modern science, and numerous 'mystical' interpretations and explanations have emerged on the internet.

Mifune City, the mysterious gathering place of the family that controls the Spirit Veins, the black-haired girl in a kimono raised her head.

"What is that...?"

"A heart-pounding feeling—"

She murmured to herself, ignoring the person behind her calling her name and saying "Miss Ryougi Shiki".

Under the same sky, in different cities, a blonde girl sat on a balcony, her pale blue dress swaying gently as she let out a light laugh, "Oh my, what a beautiful view!"

"So beautiful... it makes you want to destroy it."

"..."

Sizzle sizzle sizzle.

"Hello? This is Kirei's Church. If you wish to pray, please come during working hours."

"Kirei, it's me, Tohsaka Tokiomi."

"Teacher."

"What happened? Has the Holy Church given you any hints?"

No—

"What did your father say?"

"My father said that the Holy Grail War will continue as usual, and he will inform you immediately if anything unusual happens."

"That's good... Damn it, why does this have to happen right when the Holy Grail War is about to begin? This is really a headache!"

"But victory is still in your hands, isn't it?"

"Too."

"..."

Under the dazzling aurora borealis, in East Asia, in the Far East, in Japan, on this day, whether ordinary people in the real world or Magecraft in the underworld, everyone was surprised, amazed, worried, and even horrified by the strange phenomenon in the sky.

And the one who started it all, at this very moment, is also in this long and narrow island nation surrounded by the sea, looking up at the sky and seeing the aurora appear before him.

"It seems... it will take some time before I can fully adapt."

Rovi sensed the internal situation.

He was unable to familiarize himself with the external environment or his own current strength. It seems that one battle was not enough for him to truly grasp the essence of leaping... Reaching the original limit of star-making power is a completely different concept from before.

Even a slight release of power can cause earth-shattering destruction.

It caused tearing and damage to the 'membrane' that covers the planet's surface, a membrane created during the Norse era.

This is something Rovi doesn't want to see.

Therefore, before adapting, he will first store all his power in the Core of Chaos and adjust it to adapt.

As for what happened before that...

"Let me see the real-world scenery of Nasuverse!"

"Let's see if anyone can kill me!"

Rovi looked up at what was in front of him.

Under the aurora, the city was as bright as day, with cars coming and going, their engines roaring and echoing.

Skyscrapers stand tall, and the city lights are dazzling.

In the distance, you can see a Japanese sign indicating a certain street in Fuyuki City.

This is Fuyuki City.

It is the setting for the ' Holy Grail War ' in a work that Rovi was familiar with.

It is the place where countless warriors Heroic Spirit from ancient times have laid hands upon their fallen comrades.

This was also the last attempt that Rovi wanted to make.

To restrain oneself and preserve oneself.

Suppress one's own power.

Before I could adapt... countless warriors and heroic Heroic Spirit from ancient times to the present.

Let me see...

Can you please kill me?
