Ryougi Shiki: Manaka? I Barely Know Her
"Uh-huh..."
The doctor nodded obediently—he had already behaved and was begging for mercy.
Even though it was just playful fighting, the snacks that Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka threw at him in their excitement still hurt quite a bit.
After all, he was just a weak Heroic Spirit without any great achievements, only hard work and sweat, a little medical knowledge, and the three inherent skills formed from the three things that led to his death in the final battle. He didn't even have a Noble Phantasm and didn't have the power that the others possessed.
Romani Archman
Gender: Male
Attribute: Order /Good
Strength: E

Noble Phantasm: None
Inherent skills —
Effort: A
Ordinary people who don't have clairvoyance or magic circuits, and can only rely on human effort to learn knowledge and master technology.
By investing time and effort, one can learn the knowledge that humans can learn and master the skills that humans can master.
Doctor: B
With his genuine talent and learning, at the young age of 22 (actually eleven), he became the head of the Chaldea medical department and an excellent doctor.
The Unreturning One: EX
The Unreturning One in the Final Singularity: Grand Temple of Time Conquest.
"By the way, Gwen came here by accident from another world. Did your world also suffer a catastrophe like the Burning of Human Order?"
While at Chaldea, I crammed a lot of things and easily accepted that Gwen came from another world. However, I only thought that Gwen came from some strange timeline Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Gwen curiously and asked.
Having seen many singularities and even Lostbelt that have gone astray, Fujimaru Ritsuka is still somewhat curious about other worlds that were not chosen.
Moreover... if there is such a powerful savior as Gwen, then the disasters that world is facing must be much more difficult than those on our side, right?
Thinking this way, Fujimaru Ritsuka ignored the extra curiosity she felt for Gwen that arose from her earlier joke.
"This needs to be broken down into two issues—"
The world I came from was a world on a completely different path from this one.
Although this world has suffered many disasters, it was a prosperous and peaceful Human Order before 2016.
The world I came from before was the complete opposite. Human Order was weak, and the dominant force was the vampires known as Dead Apostles, who possessed the Principle Blood Rings. Each of them was a peak that humanity could hardly surpass.
If we need a clearer distinguishing criterion, it would probably be the summoning of Heroic Spirits.
Even if Human Order is burned away and the Earth's Erasure, heroic spirits can still be summoned to defend themselves.
But even if the world were destroyed, it would be difficult to summon Heroic Spirits there.
Gwen briefly explained the differences between the Tsukihime route and the Fate route.
"Unbelievable..."
Even the well-traveled and knowledgeable Fujimaru Ritsuka was momentarily stunned after hearing Gwen of the alternative timeline.
"Dead Apostle?"
Dr. Roman, who had already decided to keep quiet, couldn't help but ask—
"Even high-ranking Death Apostles should not escape the wrath of the Legal Affairs Department or the Holy Church."
And the so-called twenty-seven patriarchs...
"Could it be that the true progenitors of that world haven't all died out yet?"
Perhaps King Solomon, with his clairvoyance, saw other worlds, but Romani Archman did not.
"Although a Princess of the True Ancestor still exists in that world, the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles is not a True Ancestor, but rather the Ancestor among the Dead Apostles—"
Some of these people may also exist in this world, such as Rita Rogan, the owner of the Mage Eye Collection Train, but here they are just high-ranking Dead Apostles.
As for the differences between them...
To use a rather inappropriate analogy, it's probably like the difference between a regular Heroic Spirit and Grand Servant.
There is a fundamental difference.
Gwen said.
"So... how is Gwen's world doing now?"
Mash, equally captivated by the Gwen described—a world so different from the one she had learned about from books and others—asked nervously.
"Let's just say it's on the right track for now..."
After reflecting on his previous conversations with Arcueid and Altrouge, Gwen pondered—
"The last true Arcueid Brunestud is now on my side;"
Her sister, Altrouge Brunestud, the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles and theoretically the ruler of all Dead Apostles, launched a war against the other Ancestor of the Dead Apostles with my support.
Before I was thrown over, the war was basically over, and we could start identifying and integrating the Dead Apostles.
Even if I leave now, with the situation largely settled, they should be able to handle it.
Quiet.
The once tense living room was now quiet.
The three of them stared silently at Gwen, somewhat caught off guard by Gwen words—
Although no Human Order the exaggerated claims of burning and the Earth's Erasure, the humans on that side seem to be at a fundamental disadvantage, almost existing as food for vampires.
And then... that was it.
As the highest-ranking True Ancestor, he was turned against his cause, and the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles fought a great battle under his intervention...
It's kind of beautiful that Goetia has been turned to fight the Demon God Pillar.
Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was once a beautiful high school girl, had all sorts of strange metaphors flash through her mind.
Finally, Mash broke the slightly eerie silence—
"Truly worthy of being called a senior..."
Little Eggplant looked at Gwen with admiration—
"To be able to do something like this, you must have put in a lot of effort, right?"
Under the gaze of the little eggplant's clear, adoring eyes, Gwen felt a rare moment of embarrassment—
"Objectively speaking, it is indeed not simple, but subjectively speaking, these things are not difficult for me."
After all, once power reaches a certain level, many things become simpler.
Although being forcibly taken by the True Ancestor is almost equivalent to death for humans, for Gwen it was just a contest of physical strength and a unique experience.
"Then you must have put in a lot of effort to gain your current power, right?"
Little Eggplant, however, thought Gwen was just being modest.
"Heh... that's another story..."
Chapter 618 Ryougi Shiki: Aiko? Not Familiar at All
"Tell me about it..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked, abandoning her reserve, and said in a spoiled tone, just like she would at home—
Since we've already given up half of Mash's title, what's a little more?
Fujimaru Ritsuka comforted herself in this way.
Everyone is a savior, so why is it that Gwen can make the BOSS he's fighting afraid to breathe, while I'm a Master who needs to hide behind my Servant in a regular battle?
While it's wonderful to meet so many legendary Heroic Spirits as friends on the journey, Fujimaru Ritsuka also has a heart set on giving those troublemakers a good beating.
"Then I'll try to keep it brief—"
Gwen nodded, pondering as he spoke—
"In the beginning, I was born in a World Bubble..."
To put it simply, you can think of it as a world that has already been predetermined by Human Order.
Moreover, for some reason, I was born with intellectual disabilities.
"..."
The people listening in blinked, remaining silent.
Although it's hard to associate this name with Gwen, who was so eloquent and who had recently forced Zeus to back down and sue for peace, it's best not to interrupt when it comes to such past events.
"Then, unsurprisingly, the World Bubble I was in was destroyed."
When the world was destroyed, my father did everything he could to prevent me from perishing with it. Instead, I drifted in the boundless Sea of Quantum, much like Chen Xuanzang, who was thrown into a basin and floated on a river.
However, the person who found me wasn't some high-ranking monk from a temple, but a bad woman who wasn't particularly evil... You can think of her as someone similar to Miss Musashi, but with a much more wicked personality.
She healed my body and gave me more adaptability to the Sea of Quantum, allowing me to drift in it once more.
Then, while I was still unconscious, I was rescued by Valkyrie You Lan Dai Er, who had just finished her mission in the Sea of Quantum, and brought back to my Eigenworld.
After receiving excellent treatment, I awoke, and at the same time, the wisdom from my past life awakened, bringing me back to my senses.
At this point, Gwen paused, unscrewed a bottle of juice, and took a sip—
Although the description of Vita wasn't very positive, Gwen knew that if it weren't for her, he probably wouldn't have survived until You Lan Dai Er picked him up.
"So, your experience does indeed seem similar to the legend of the Tripitaka..."
Thinking back to the legends of the Tripitaka she encountered in the Sixth Singularity, Mash showed a thoughtful expression—
"I remember...
"We only have some similarities in our experiences. I am not some enlightened monk, just an ordinary person."
Gwen waved his hand repeatedly, cutting off the little eggplant's train of thought—
If we were to truly emulate him as some kind of morally upright monk, we might experience a sense of disappointment in the future.
Suddenly, a voice that had not been part of the conversation interrupted—
"However... what are you referring to Sea of Quantum?"
Following the sound, they discovered that it was Demeter, who had been alone in a bedroom, who had come out.
At this moment, the Goddess was staring at Gwen, clearly eager to know the answer to her question.
"If you ask for a specific definition and concept, I can't give an accurate answer. After all, the world I was in before was still in the early stages of exploring the Sea of Quantum. At present, I only know that it is a special existence that is different from the Imaginary Tree. World Bubble that fall off the Imaginary Tree will fall into it."
Gwen spoke, he raised his right hand, converting a bit of Quantum Attribute power into a faint blue light that illuminated the living room and danced in Demeter's slightly dazed eyes.
"What a strange power..."
The voice, ethereal and otherworldly, that one might subconsciously think could only be heard on a quiet, snowy day, was described in this way—
"It seems to possess a vastness sufficient to encompass the world..."
However, even the Ryougi Shiki, or rather the True Root Shiki, could not discern much more from the little power that Gwen had artificially created. They could only look with curiosity at the faint blue quantum power in Gwen's hand.
"As expected, you were not asleep..."
Gwen Ryougi Shiki, who had appeared almost suddenly, and teased.
"No, that's not true."
Ryougi Shiki, however, was not as gentle and talkative as Gwen had imagined; instead, she revealed a playful smile—
"I was indeed asleep, but I was awakened by the power in your hands that I had never seen before."
"Since that's the case, then don't fall asleep, let's rest and recuperate slowly—"
