Chapter 29

A single person could represent the pinnacle of industrial civilization.

Being controlled by a group of politicians was more disgusting than being controlled by one person.

Especially since many of those politicians had made suggestive remarks to her about accompanying them for drinks.

If there were any better options, Mei would have fled to a distant land eight hundred years ago. The organization had gradually become impure.

Initially, the Flame-Chasers didn't have this name. While people from different countries gathered to conduct activities back then, the members' goals were purer, and the organization leaned more towards exploring and investigating outer space.

Later, the Flame-Chasers split into two branches: the "Ground Organization" and "Lunar Exploration." Each group received funding from different countries. Her First Research Institute naturally received a considerable amount of research funding. During that honeymoon period, everyone got along well with these capital investors.

Until later, The capitalists began to show their fangs. A large number of veterans were purged. Talented and gifted members were pushed around between various research institutes like livestock being bought and sold. Ultimately, many were forced to leave or even died in distant lands due to being caught in the conflicts.

In the past, she had colleagues with whom she could open up, have pleasant conversations, and share similar interests.

But seeing them later get caught up in those meaningless political struggles, forget their past ideals and aspirations, become walking dead, become politicians, become sacrifices.

Mei watched all of this. She had wanted to leave the increasingly impure organization of the Flame-Chasers more than once. But unfortunately, only within the Flame-Chasers did she have the authority to research the phenomena caused by the Honkai.

Any research institute outside was strictly prohibited.

However, the Honkai was a subject that Mei absolutely could not abandon.

Being swept along like this, if her research in the Honkai field wasn't far superior to other research institutes, she might have already become a disappointed person outside the institutes. To put it bluntly, if her usefulness diminished, she might have been kidnapped and become a plaything for some important figure she had rejected.

The Flame-Chasers were both a cage and, for her, the only place to belong, a safe haven.

On the surface, Dr. Mei, as the head of the First Research Institute, seemed to hold the power of life and death over many people. But in reality... she, who called others her test subjects, was merely a small hamster in the hands of those politicians.

She had no retreat left. After Kevin completed his super-transformation surgery, she recently planned to perform a super-transformation surgery on herself to gain the confidence to counter those politicians.

"Blanca, Klein, Cang Xuan, Dan Zhu, Mei... I have already prepared a sufficiently excellent research team for myself. Coupled with Vill-V's talent, we can completely break free from the framework of the Flame-Chasers and establish a new organization!"

"Utilizing Elysia's connections, we can also round up excellent combat personnel like Kevin, Hua, Heng, Sakura, and Daisy."

"Shirou Emiya, you told Elysia that we wouldn't be able to pass the final trial, and that the final survivors wouldn't exceed ten people."

"I believe the outcome you mentioned, but I can also confirm one thing: in the original story, those insects from the Flame-Chasers must have become our obstacles, right?"

Mei stared intently at Shirou. Over the years, she had accumulated a great deal of resentment towards her former organization. Now that she had the opportunity to leave the Flame-Chasers, how could she let them escape?

"Although I don't know your true objective yet, your goal is definitely purer than those who are self-serving."

"Is it possible that I want to open an imp?"

"Yes, if that's your goal, I can even help provide opportunities. Whether it's Elysia or the girls in my research institute, I can give you the time and opportunity."

"Hmm... your attitude is quite good. Actually, I'm more interested in you and Dr. Vill-V."

Shirou smiled and then said to Mei, "Although I have some thoughts in that regard, your and Dr. Vill-V's brains are actually more important. My hometown also faces a 'destructive' threat similar to your world. Therefore, I will help you, because in the future... you will also become my asset."

"Simple mutual assistance will only create loose alliances."

Mei frowned, recalling the situation of the Flame-Chasers' predecessor. She then observed Shirou silently for a moment. It wasn't appropriate to bind herself too tightly to this person right now. Whether for him or for herself, it might take some time to thoroughly observe each other's character.

If this person could truly satisfy her needs in all aspects, she would not hesitate to bind herself deeply with this man.

As Elysia said, if a man appeared who could satisfy all her needs, why couldn't she keep him?

She was neither a staunch advocate of singlehood nor an anomaly with homosexual tendencies. If she were to choose someone who met her criteria for a partner in her current life, Then, Shirou Emiya before her was undoubtedly the closest to that standard.

Because...

He could bring her the possibility of evolution.

"An alliance, then. Please lend us a hand as an ally. Likewise, we will surely repay you in the future."

[You have received a new commission!]

[ps: The performance is quite poor... I hope there will still be people who continue to subscribe to future updates.]

Chapter 060: Whirlpool = High-Grade Fusion Material = Gauss. (2/5)

So warm...

When Uchiha Hikari woke up from her unconsciousness, she was lying on a very soft tatami mat. Sunlight streamed into the room, filling the space with a gentle warmth.

She slightly propped herself up, her gaze falling on the spot where the sunlight entered. It was a transparent, crystal-like floor-to-ceiling window. From her perspective, looking out beyond the window, there was an endless sky.

It was a clear, blue sky.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had seen such a sight.

"Shirou Emiya."

The name surfaced in her mind, and she began to recall the person's appearance. Before she lost consciousness, she seemed to have seen that person's features. There were no shortage of handsome and beautiful men and women in the Uchiha clan, and she didn't have much concept of "beauty." Instead, it was that person's aura that left a deep impression on her.

She thought for a moment, as if contemplating a suitable noun to describe that person.

After a while, She saw the sunlight streaming into the room again. She reached out her hand. Her pale skin looked somewhat translucent in the sunlight, but feeling that long-lost warmth, Uchiha Hikari suddenly smiled.

She thought of suitable words.

"Sunlight" ...

"Awake?"

Suddenly, the room door was pushed open. Uchiha Hikari turned her head and saw a little girl with soft golden hair. She was carrying a medicine box, and on the medicine box was a bowl of steaming hot porridge. The surface of the porridge was divided into seven different colors. Compared to food, it looked more like a beautiful handicraft.

However, when the aroma of the colorful hot porridge entered her nose, the long-lost hunger began to spread uncontrollably within her. Uchiha Hikari opened and closed her lips, and her dry vocal cords struggled to emit a short syllable.

"Eat..."

"I'll feed you."

The little girl walked into the bedroom, put down the medicine box, then gently blew on the steam on the surface of the hot porridge, and scooped a small spoonful of clear porridge to Uchiha Hikari's mouth.

Uchiha Hikari swallowed twice, then swallowed quickly without hesitation. As the warm porridge flowed down her throat, into her stomach, she even felt an uncontrollable urge to cry, and her eyes immediately turned red.

"Don't get too emotional. Your body was severely overdrawn before and needs rest. Brother Shirou specially prepared this bowl of rainbow porridge for you. It has the effect of detoxifying and nourishing internal organs. Later, I will use the power of Abundance to regulate your body. In at most two days, your body will recover to normal."

"Thank..."

Uchiha Hikari tried hard to make a sound, but due to her strong emotions, she choked and couldn't finish the remaining syllables. The little explorer from Belobog smiled faintly at the sister who was trying hard to thank her and said, "You don't need to rush to speak now. I was also someone who was helped. You don't need to rush to express your desire to thank and repay. Everyone is waiting for you to recover. Brother Shirou said that when you get better, he will specifically prepare a banquet for you, and he will personally cook to entertain you."

"Mm."

She nodded heavily, firmly remembering everything the little explorer said. Her impression of the man named Shirou Emiya deepened a bit more...

I will repay him, with everything I have!

In her heart, she silently vowed.

But at the same time, a dark beast was also churning, roaring, and raging deep within her heart...

As memories gradually resurfaced, she remembered everything she had experienced.

Senju.

Uchiha.

No matter what, I will find you, no matter what... I must take revenge on you!

Exploring outwards from where Uchiha Hikari was sealed, Shirou buried the four Creation Engines directly underground. The things created by the Herrscher of Reason were not projections; once created, they truly existed and could not disappear naturally. Forcing them to decompose was also not an option, so he simply buried them in the ground.

Then, he projected the Vimana, Mr. Golden's favorite mode of transportation. In a short time, he crossed the no-man's-land and arrived at a town. He exchanged some precious metals for local currency, about four million taels. He didn't directly enter the town with a group of beauties in such a conspicuous manner. Instead, he first gathered some intelligence and confirmed the current timeline.

"The Five Great Shinobi Villages are in a standoff, and the Ninja Village era is confirmed."

"The Hokage in Konoha, the Third Hokage... seems to be in his prime?"

The good news is that the Uchiha Clan is still alive, and even several great beasts haven't been born yet.

The bad news is that he arrived too early. Naruto and Sasuke, these two good sons of the Sage of Six Paths, haven't even shown up yet.

"No, Old Madara is still alive, and he should be nurturing the Rinnegan right now?"

"Hashirama Senju is dead, but it doesn't affect much."

For him, the most important things in this world are a few key gene samples: "Sage Body," "Sage Eyes," and specific Kekkei Genkai.

... ... 0

He didn't know if the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon had started a civil war yet.

"Should I just release Kaguya Otsutsuki?"

With that woman's combat prowess, Mr. Emiya didn't think he would lose to her, but... if that woman really wanted to escape, it would be difficult for him to stop her.

"Ōtsutsuki genes, forget it, no need to rush to get it all at once."

After all, there are secondary genes that can be synthesized step by step to the highest-level Ōtsutsuki genes.

Senju, Uchiha, Kaguya, Hyuga...

Among them, perhaps the Uzumaki needs to be added as an advanced fusion material.

The simple Sage Eyes and Sage Body from before are not wild enough. Without the advanced fusion material of Uzumaki, the effect of great strength through miracles cannot be achieved.

Even other clans with Kekkei Genkai usually only have one.

After the Uzumaki family integrated them, in addition to the original "outstanding self-healing," "inherent Chakra," "mastery of Sealing Jutsu," and other items, there were also "Kagura Shingan," "life force draining," "improved Byakugan," "innate Jōgan," and various other new abilities.

By analogy, if the Uzumaki material were placed in the Ultraman universe, it would at least be a gentle hero like Cosmos.

"Wait, is the Land of Whirlpools still around?"

Mr. Emiya's eyes suddenly lit up. If the Uzumaki clan still existed, perhaps considering the 'genetic diversity' of this clan, he could collect more Ninja materials.

"I'll go ask around again." Seven. 061: Are you cheating the system? (3/5)

"First, let's talk about the intelligence I gathered outside."

Returning to their temporary base, Shirou began to brief everyone on the current state of the ninja world.

"This continent outside is currently dominated by five super-large countries, with dozens of smaller countries existing as neutral nations."

"And among these dozen or so countries, the strongest armed forces in almost every country are ninja villages, which are primarily composed of ninjas."

"So-called ninjas are psychics who have mastered the energy system known as Chakra."

"These psychics once acted independently and fought each other. It wasn't until about fifty to sixty years ago that the two strongest ninjas among them rallied other ninja families to establish large settlements with them, which then formed the five major ninja villages: Konoha, led by the super-large country of the Land of Fire; Kirigakure, in the Land of Water; Sunagakure, in the Land of Wind; Kumogakure, in the Land of Lightning; and Iwagakure, in the Land of Earth."

"Other small countries' Sound Ninja, Grass Ninja, Star Ninja, and Sky Ninja can basically be considered insignificant riffraff."

"And as I said before, the graves of the Uchiha clan members from Uchiha Hikari's generation are probably impossible to find. The Senju clan is pretty much the same. If you really want to find a specific target for revenge, you'd probably have to find a way to locate their remains first, and then find a way to summon their souls back."

After Shirou finished speaking, everyone digested the information. March 7th clicked her tongue a bit dissatisfied, likely feeling unwilling that she couldn't get revenge for that poor young lady, Uchiha Hikari.

"That's all the public intelligence. Now, let's talk about some of the secret intelligence we need to know in the ninja world this time."

All ninjas in the ninja world originate from an organization called Ninjutsu Sect. The leader of the organization was called the Sage of Six Paths. He passed down Chakra to his descendants, which then spread to the millions of people in the ninja world today. The Sage of Six Paths' real name was Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and the origin of Chakra wasn't him, but his mother, a special race from outside the planet named the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

"This clan is naturally a cosmic race, possessing the ability to traverse the stars. Furthermore, the main family is equipped with a special plant that can be planted on various planets, using the life forms of those planets as fields for cultivation. They then harvest these life forms, ultimately cultivating the entire planet's life into a fruit. They then process this fruit further, refining it into pills for consumption."

"Chakra is precisely a product of this plant. To obtain a large amount of Chakra, one must possess 'genes' that are closer to those of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. All ninjas in this ninja world possess hidden gene fragments of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, but there are only about five or six families that are the most prominent. As long as we can obtain the base material of these five or six families, we can obtain 'genes' infinitely close to those of the Ōtsutsuki Clan."

Actually, Mr. Emiya was quite interested in the Divine Tree. Its properties might be very useful for insectoid descendants like the True Sting Insect, and it might also be quite effective against the Mara-struck of the Abundance followers or even the Xianzhou...

"Huh, wait a minute, if you give the Mara-struck a pair of Rinnegan, and then let the Mara-struck use the Reincarnation Rebirth Technique, would that be considered making the best use of it?"

"Also, Chiyo's Living Reincarnation, with the vitality of those Celestials and Foxkin from the Xianzhou, one person could sustain several people's lives. Perhaps it could even alleviate the Calamity of Other Transformation for the Mara-struck."
