Guaranteed / A Hidden Secret

Hearing this answer, even though she already knew from Romani that she was in good health, she couldn't help but feel happy again.

Last time, Romani relied on instruments for examination, that is, the power of technology, while today Medea relied on the power of Magecraft to conduct the examination. Both different methods of examination yielded similar results: her body is now very healthy.

"I have to thank Mephistopheles for all of this; he saved me," Mash Kyrielight said softly.

Upon hearing that it was related to Mephistopheles, Medea immediately said, "Tell me more, I'm very curious."

She was always very curious about anything related to Mephistopheles.

Then she heard a short but eerie story.

Mephistopheles took on the responsibility of the Christianity and then used his own blood as a medicine to cure Mash Kyrielight's hidden ailments, even fixing her genetic problem of accelerated aging.

Medea for a moment. "In other words, the power of symbolism is also used here to replace the miracle of the divine child. Mephistopheles really knows how to play the game, using the power of symbolism so skillfully."

She muttered to herself, glancing at Black Jeanne to the side. The True Magic incantations were the same, both transforming themselves into holy children, but the methods of use were completely different.

For Mash Kyrielight, it was about bleeding to save her; for Black Jeanne, it was about symbolizing bearing original sin.

"It's said that this form is incredibly powerful. After bringing one's body close to becoming a divine child, it can unleash power far exceeding the limits of the human body," said Ritsuka Fujimaru. "Of all the Servants I've seen, no one has ever allowed Mephistopheles to use this ability."

Medea's lips curled up. She naturally knew that Mephistopheles's strength did not require him to use such power. At least until he met Goetia, there should be no one who could force him to use his trump card.

As for Goetia?

Medea clenched her fists, a dangerous glint in her eyes.

She'll make sure Goetia experiences the same Magecraft attacks those giants felt back then!

"What are you doing?" Mephistopheles walked in and asked curiously after seeing Medea holding Mash Kyrielight's wrist.

"Nothing much, I'm just curious about Mash Kyrielight's body and want to examine it closely," Medea replied with a smile to Mephistopheles. "This state can be studied, and then similar True Magic can be developed. Although it can't compare to your Sanctification Magic, servant-based True Magic should be easier to learn and easier to control, right?"

Mephistopheles was taken aback, then his eyes lit up.

"Yes, the difficulty and requirements of becoming a divine child are very high, but if we imitate Mash Kyrielight's physical condition and then study how to make the human body break through its limits and enter the Servant realm, the success might allow everyone to become a true Servant. Moreover, this mainly involves the process of strengthening the body with magical power, and the conceptual characteristics are actually less needed!"

Thinking of this, he rushed forward, hugged Medea, and kissed her hard on the lips before running towards the door.

As he ran, he shouted, "I'm going to test out the new True Magic. You guys eat dinner yourselves!"

Chapter 199 Guaranteed

Mephistopheles had tried several times, but failed each time.

It's not that the body can't be strengthened, but rather that each procedure causes different changes in certain areas, like drawing a lottery.

Sometimes you get more boosts to agility, and sometimes you get more boosts to strength, just like a random stat allocation system in a game.

After this happened about ten times, Mephistopheles stopped testing the Heroic Spirit Transformation Formula and began to analyze the reasons for the current situation.

The Saintification Formula has a basic template, which is based on Jesus. The Saintification Formula is about bringing oneself closer to the state of Jesus...

However, Servants are different, or rather, Heroic Spirit are different. Heroic Spirit do not have a basic template. Different Heroic Spirit are different people who originally existed in this world. If I use the kind of technique I just mentioned, it will randomly select from these Heroic Spirit, which is indeed not suitable for actual combat.

However, it's not that there's no way. Although there's no basic universal template to use, it doesn't mean that a universal template can't be created. As long as the object of this technique is anchored to a suitable object, it will work...

With this in mind, Mephistopheles began to quickly search for a suitable candidate.

The number of Servants is enormous, and it's foreseeable that it will continue to grow. After all, in order to make money, the creator god named Mushroom will not give up any opportunity to increase the number of Servants.

If we choose a suitable template from the existing Servants, or rather, from the Servants that Mephistopheles knows, then we must choose a hexagonal warrior.

"It can't be too difficult, otherwise it won't be easy to popularize. And it shouldn't have too many shortcomings, since it's a Heroic Spirit transformation technique, not Servantification Formula, so it won't be suppressed in some aspects due to class issues."

Mephistopheles stroked his chin, and after filtering through several candidates, he made his choice.

That's Heracles!

Heracles' transformation into Heroic Spirit was not a true transformation into a god, but rather an ascension to the Throne of Heroes as a divine child. Furthermore, Heracles possessed immense physical strength and sufficient defensive capabilities, making him a quintessential all-rounder.

Even if one cannot truly replicate the Twelve Labors to prevent sudden death, a robust physique and powerful self-healing ability are enough to save the user's life in many situations.

Of course, most importantly, Mephistopheles and Heracles are familiar enough, and combined with the records in the legend itself, there is not much problem in pointing the Heroic Spirit Transformation Technique to Heracles.

Having identified his target, Mephistopheles began his experiment once again.

Ritsuka Fujimaru successfully became a test subject.

She swallowed hard and asked, "Is there a problem with this True Magic spell?"

"I have no problems using it," Mephistopheles said, patting the other person on the shoulder. "I brought you here to see if it works just as well for ordinary people."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Ritsuka Fujimaru nodded, then began to concentrate, mobilizing the life force within her body and transforming it into magical power.

This is naturally the first step, and at this moment her sword is also set aside and not carried, so she is currently in an unenhanced state, which is indeed suitable as the standard of an ordinary person.

As the magic appeared, her body adopted certain special postures, turning her body into a unique rune. With these actions, the magic was drawn in and flowed within her body.

The True Magic was activated at that moment.

External magic was also drawn in, transforming into a special power that began to flow into Ritsuka Fujimaru's body, causing her physical form to change at that moment.

Ritsuka Fujimaru felt her body begin to fill with power, a powerful power. Although it couldn't compare to the strength she had gained after drawing the Heavenly Cloud Sword, this power was still very strong and could easily kill dozens of ordinary people.

Moreover, this power was increasing; her hearing, vision, and other abilities were enhanced at this moment. She knew that at this moment, she had become a superhero!

"Come on, give it a try."

As Mephistopheles spoke, he pointed to the side, where dumbbells and other weightlifting equipment were placed.

Ritsuka Fujimaru walked over and picked up a 20-kilogram dumbbell with one hand, effortlessly, without any apparent strain.

Then she picked up a 40-kilogram dumbbell, which was equally easy, as easy as eating.

Given Ritsuka Fujimaru's physique and muscle size, this strength has surpassed the limits of human capability.

However, the experiment naturally didn't end there. Ritsuka Fujimaru then lifted a 200-kilogram iron block and easily posed it in several ways before gently putting it down. At this moment, everyone was certain that Ritsuka Fujimaru was indeed a superhuman.

Next came the other tests, including high jump, running, and so on. After all these tests were completed, more than half an hour had passed before Ritsuka Fujimaru finally stopped the True Magic spell. She felt her body gradually returning to a natural and normal state and showed a surprised expression.

"It can last this long? I feel like even without the Heavenly Cloud Sword, I already have the ability to fight Servants!"

"Don't get too excited yet, the tests aren't over. Go back to normal!" Mephistopheles muttered, drawing a sword. Startled by Mephistopheles's sudden appearance, Ritsuka Fujimaru asked, "What are you trying to do?"

"It's okay if you get a little hurt, you won't die," Mephistopheles said with a smile as he walked over.

Then, when Romani arrived at the scene, he saw Ritsuka Fujimaru lying on the ground, her coat completely red. The scene looked as if Mephistopheles had killed someone, and the victim was Ritsuka Fujimaru.

"What are you doing?!" Romani exclaimed, immediately running over, but Mephistopheles waved his hand, "It's nothing, no rush, just testing their recovery."

"Recovery?!" Romani frowned, looking at the amount of red blood flowing out; the injury should be quite serious. But Ritsuka Fujimaru gritted her teeth and got up from the ground, gasping, "It hurts so much!"

Her movements were agile, making it seem as if she hadn't suffered any serious injuries.

Ritsuka Fujimaru glared at Mephistopheles: "Couldn't you have gone a little easier?!"

"I've been very gentle, okay? I only cut a blood vessel. If I had gone any harder, it wouldn't have been a blood vessel; it would have been a direct stab to your heart," Mephistopheles said, then asked, "How is it?"

"Let me take a look!" Romani said, walking over. After examining the wound, he looked surprised. "The wound has healed. Although it left a scar, at this rate, it's only a matter of time before it falls off."

After saying that, he asked with some doubt, "So what exactly are you testing?"

Mephistopheles and Ritsuka Fujimaru told Romani what they had just been testing. Romani was very surprised after listening. He stared blankly for a while. Mephistopheles snapped his fingers in front of him, which brought him back to his senses.

"Wait a minute, you mean you've figured out True Magic formula that allows ordinary people to easily become Servants?!"

"It's Heroic Spirit transformation, not Servant transformation. Although the two are similar in structure, Servants are limited by their class and cannot be omnipotent, but Heroic Spirit can." Mephistopheles corrected the other party's description.

"That's amazing, Heroic Spirit transformation, and judging from your description, it has no problem fighting most Servants head-on. This... this is practically saying that Chaldea's years of research on Demi-Servant has been a joke..." Romani said, glancing at Mash Kyrielight not far away, and sighed.

"This is different. Mash Kyrielight's Demi-Servant Words are persistent; as long as the fusion doesn't end, it will continue indefinitely. But this True Magic spell is temporary. Once the True Magic ends, you'll revert to a normal state. Besides, you can't keep the True Magic running indefinitely, can you? This requires some brainpower."

Romani thought about Mephistopheles's words and suddenly realized that research on Demi-Servant wasn't entirely useless.

"What are your plans for this True Magic formula?" Romani asked. "Will you spread it out or keep it for now?"

"How many people in Chaldea have formally studied the basics of True Magic? If they meet the requirements, they should go and learn it. After all, there might be dangers in the future. Once they've done their job, they might be discarded after being used, and someone might come to attack Chaldea because it's too powerful."

Mephistopheles said, a slight smile appearing on his face.

"At that point, having the ability to protect yourself will be the most important thing."

Romani was taken aback, then quickly asked, "Are you suspecting that Chaldea might be targeted after Goetia is dealt with and Human Order is restored?"

"I've thought about this for a long time, and then I've come to a conclusion." Mephistopheles looked at Romani, "Do you think the Incineration of Humanity might have happened because of the existence of Chaldea?"

Romani's expression changed subtly, but Mephistopheles noticed it.

"Sheba was created by Lev, and Lev himself played a crucial role in the construction of Chaldea. Your abandonment of your Solomon identity led to the anomalies of the Demon Pillar, and what is your purpose in becoming Romani and constantly participating in the construction of Chaldea?"

Romani was silent for a moment, then said, "Before I finally relinquished my power, I witnessed the destruction of Human Order, so... to prevent that from happening, I..."

"Is it possible that your very plan led to the destruction of Human Order?" Mephistopheles asked.

Romani was stunned.

"Lev's involvement in Chaldea far surpasses yours, and from the very beginning, he wanted to destroy the First Singularity, the most unique Singularity, Fuyuki City. Now it seems that this was because it was Chaldea's anchor point. As long as it was destroyed, Chaldea's anchor point would cease to exist. Once Chaldea ceases to exist, the Incineration of Humanity, which started from Chaldea, would have no chance of being saved again."

"Looking back now, the answer was right in front of us from the beginning, but we had too little information at the time, making it difficult to make a judgment. Even if I can make these judgments now, to be honest, they are all just guesses, and there is still too little evidence."

"However, judging from your reaction, I think part of my guess is correct."

"I can't be completely sure either, but at least your guess is correct; I have the same suspicion." Romani said, then sighed, "So, you believe that after dealing with Goetia and restoring Human Order, Chaldea will suffer a blow from the world of Magecraft?"

"After all, the existence of Chaldea can truly affect the survival of the entire history. How could we allow you to exist? The best way is to destroy Chaldea. No one can truly control or change history."

"However, on the other hand, I don't think anyone would be willing to give up something so valuable. Whoever controls Chaldea controls the power of all humanity. Everything can be changed according to their own wishes. Even if it's difficult now, as long as we continue our research, there will be a day when we can change history at will."

Romani remained silent. He couldn't deny Mephistopheles's claims; these concerns were all valid. Chaldea's power was too great, and that great power was its original sin. The human world hadn't realized this before, but with the destruction and salvation of Human Order, they would all become aware of it.

An existence that can arbitrarily change one's past, erase one's past, and make oneself disappear from the very beginning is taboo for anyone!

This is a taboo even more terrifying than being assassinated on the spot!

Therefore, destroying it is the best option!

But similarly, for ambitious people, mastering it is what they desire most!

"Could this be considered Pandora's Box that we opened?" Romani whispered, looking very stressed.

"What are you thinking? Although time travel and changing history are terrifying, there are other ways to achieve such things. If I remember correctly, there is something similar among the Five Magics. Isn't Goetia's aura built on this basis?"

Mephistopheles said with a smile, showing no sign of pressure.

"Besides, on the path of True Magic, it's possible to reverse time, or even recreate the world. No, it's not just possible, it's truly possible to reach that level. So there's no need to worry so much. When there's enough power to change the world, they will balance each other out."

"Is there enough power to change the world?!"

Romani's eyes widened.

Can this kind of stuff even be sold in wholesale? And there's a huge quantity of it!

"It's very simple. Spread the True Magic, and there will be more and more people. It may take a long time, but it's certain that there will be enough people to maintain a balance of power and establish a council."

After Mephistopheles finished speaking, he gave a thumbs up.

"This is based on my personal experience, it's guaranteed to be accurate!"

Chapter 200 The Hidden Secret

Mephistopheles's so-called personal experience was certainly not unfounded. Although he had never reached that level, as someone who had transmigrated twice, he naturally knew many secrets of the A Certain Magical Index.

For example, beings like Magic God.

Magic God can freely modify time and theorems. This ability, like an artist freely painting and shaping the world, makes it not unreasonable to call them creator gods. And there are not just one, but many such gods.

To prevent themselves from ruining the world, these Magic God reached a compromise and hid themselves in secluded worlds, isolated from the world, to prevent their appearance from destroying the world itself.

The birth of Chaldea was like a limited editor for changing the world, with extremely limited scope. Although it had an impact on the world, with the development of True Magic, this impact became negligible in the future.

If he didn't have that ability, he might have considered destroying this place after saving Human Order and cleaning up the mess within Chaldea. But since he would inevitably reach that level on the path of True Magic, there was naturally no need to destroy this place.

At most, it will be sealed off for a necessary period of time to avoid too much impact.

Ritsuka Fujimaru had already changed her clothes, and the clothes that had been pierced had been taken away to be repaired. She was lively and appeared to be unharmed.

"How about it? With the Heroic Spirit Transformation Technique and the Heavenly Cloud Sword, your combat power should almost double, right?" Mephistopheles said.

Ritsuka Fujimaru nodded. "It can indeed double. The physical enhancement brought by the Heroic Spirit Transformation Technique has greatly increased the upper limit of being able to withstand the power of the Heavenly Cloud Sword itself. If I were facing Goetia's beam attack last time, I should be able to withstand it without taking any damage."
