Chapter 23: The First Spiritron Transfer
Chaldea, Central Control Room.
When Luo Zhen and Mashu arrived, all of Chaldea's Adaptable Ones had already gathered.
The Adaptable Ones were all seated in rows in the center of the control room, silently waiting for the start of the strategy meeting.
Olga Marie was already standing in front of these people.
"Too slow!"
As always, Olga Marie loudly berated Luo Zhen and Mashu.
"Take your seats quickly! Don't waste time!"
Her voice, more strained than usual, told everyone that Olga Marie's anxiety level had broken a new record today.
In the past, Olga Marie would never have let Luo Zhen, whom she had always disliked, off so easily for being late like this.
This proved that Olga Marie didn't even have the energy to argue with Luo Zhen right now.
Looking at Olga Marie, who was glaring at him with her arms crossed, Luo Zhen couldn't help but grumble inwardly.
"She's always so hot-tempered, I wonder if she's going through early menopause..."
"S-Senior..."
Luo Zhen's quiet slander made Mashu, as if afraid of being heard, quickly pull Luo Zhen back to their seats.
Their seats were in the first row.
In the first row, there were only less than ten seats.
Those who could sit here were the nine Adaptable Ones who had already been in Chaldea a month ago.
And these nine people naturally attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Welcome to the Special Agency Chaldea. I am the Director—Olga Marie Animusphere."
Just as the others were rudely sizing up Luo Zhen and Mashu, who were sitting in the first row, Olga Marie's voice began to ring out.
"Although there are many things I want to say, and to be honest, seeing the way you all look makes me very uneasy, it is undeniable that this operation requires the power of you Adaptable Ones, scouted from all over the world, to be successfully completed. Therefore, I won't waste time on idle chatter and will get straight to the point."
Olga Marie seemed to suppress her inner anxiety and spoke in a calm voice.
"Presumably, after coming to Chaldea, you should have already understood the current situation to some extent, right?"
These words made the Master candidates present look at each other.
After all, it was such a big deal.
The impending end of humanity, even though it was currently the biggest secret, impossible for outsiders to know, those who had come to Chaldea must have already known about it.
Therefore, Olga Marie said this.
"I don't care if you heard it from others or learned it through other channels, as long as you clearly recognize how severe our current situation is, that's enough."
"And if you are not yet aware of the seriousness of the situation, then let me repeat it to you."
Olga Marie announced mercilessly.
"Next, your operation will determine whether humanity can survive in the future."
As soon as these words came out, the entire room fell silent.
Olga Marie continued to announce coldly.
"If your operation succeeds, then human history can be restored, and the future of humanity can be guaranteed."
"If your operation fails, then humanity will be completely finished."
"There are only these two outcomes, and there will absolutely be no third."
"Now, do you understand how heavy the mission you are carrying is?"
Hearing this, the faces of everyone present began to tighten slightly.
A sense of tension spread throughout the control room.
Luo Zhen also felt Mashu's body tensing beside him, her delicate face also changing expression, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly.
(I finally managed to get Mashu to relax a little, and this woman is still so good at making trouble.)
As Luo Zhen cursed, he had forgotten that a month ago, he was the one who caused the most trouble in Chaldea.
In any case, Olga Marie seemed satisfied with the current sense of tension.
"Now that you are all aware, let's begin the real explanation of the operation."
Olga Marie's expression also began to become serious.
Immediately, Olga Marie finally began to explain.
"After this period of observation and investigation, Chaldea has finally confirmed the location of Singularity Point F."
As she spoke, Olga Marie snapped her fingers.
The Chaldeas in front of them suddenly seemed to turn around, facing one side towards everyone present, and at the same time, a screen in front of it magnified, like a lens, magnifying one point of this planetary model and presenting it to everyone.
Luo Zhen raised his head and looked over.
Appearing there was an island nation located in the Far East.
Olga Marie pointed to one of the locations within the island nation.
"There is a city here called Fuyuki City."
—Fuyuki City.
When this name appeared, the expressions of some of the Master candidates from prestigious Magecraft families present subtly changed.
Even Luo Zhen narrowed his eyes, prompting Mashu to whisper beside him.
"Senpai, isn't Fuyuki City..."
"...Yes, let's keep listening."
After exchanging opinions, the two continued to listen to the explanation.
Olga Marie, as if anticipating this reaction, continued her explanation.
"According to Chaldea's observations, Singularity Point F was generated in Fuyuki City in 2004, and it has become firmly attached to it like a stain on history."
"History from 2004 to 2018 does not exist here."
"In other words, Fuyuki City at this point in time has broken away from the torrent of time and become a void, a Singularity."
"Your mission is to Spiritron Transfer to Fuyuki City in 2004, investigate the cause of humanity's future disappearance, make a judgment, and destroy it."
Olga Marie withdrew her hand pointing at the map and looked around at the Masters.
"This is Chaldea's first Spiritron Transfer operation since its establishment."
"Therefore, we have no idea what kind of difficulties and predicaments you will encounter."
"However, if this hurdle is not overcome, humanity has no future."
"Therefore, your operation can only succeed and must not fail."
After issuing such an uncompromising order, Olga Marie spoke loudly again.
"Now, in my capacity as the current Director of Chaldea, I order that the first Spiritron Transfer experiment be officially conducted in one hour."
"To be on the safe side, we will select eight top-performing individuals from the simulated battles so far to form Team A and send them to the Singularity first."
"The members of Team A have been thoroughly trained in Chaldea for a month and are capable individuals who can stand alone."
"They will depart first and provide security in the Singularity for subsequent personnel."
"While Team A is in action, members of Team B and below need to be ready to depart after the second experiment."
With that, Olga Marie clapped her hands.
"Now, let's head to the Coffin to log in and prepare for Spiritron Transfer."
