Summoning

But Boudica couldn't help but roll her eyes at this answer.

"The problem is, we've been busy fighting the enemy all this time... and now? Suddenly someone appears and solves everything in one fell swoop. I feel like I'm on a vacation after descending from the Throne of Heroes..."

She became increasingly shocked as she spoke.

"That was Noble Phantasm release at the city-level! Not only was your companion unharmed, but he also killed the enemy. Just who is your friend?"

"Like us, we are all investigators," Ritsuka Fujimaru answered honestly. "However, Mephistopheles himself has an extremely broad range of knowledge; it wouldn't be wrong to say he's the most powerful True Magic."

"True Magic? Magecraft, right?" Boudica said, still finding it hard to believe that a human without a Servant, just a single person, could actually fight a Noble Anti-City Noble Phantasm and even win!

Is this human? No, even among Servants, there are very few with this kind of strength, yet a human not only got through but also solved the biggest problem?

But regardless, success is success. Boudica and the others' bodies began to dissipate. They knew that the world was calling them back; this place would soon be restored, and these aliens would no longer be needed.

Ritsuka Fujimaru and the others began teleporting as quickly as possible. When they returned to Chaldea, they saw Mephistopheles tidying up his clothes.

He looked relaxed, and even waved to the group when he saw them return, saying, "You guys are a little late!"

"Mephistopheles, you took care of them all by yourself?!" Ritsuka Fujimaru asked hurriedly.

"Yeah, I thought it was too slow, so I just fought my way through. But those soldiers couldn't hit me, so I was mostly fighting Servants." Mephistopheles nodded, stood up, stretched, and grinned at the command room above.

Above, Olga Marie, seeing Mephistopheles smile at her, snorted and said into the microphone, "Go for a physical examination first to see if there are any problems. After the examination, you can move around freely."

After she finished speaking, she immediately added, "Mephistopheles, you need to organize all the contents of the report for me. I need to see it by tonight at the latest!"

"Huh? What about my day off? Can't I get it tomorrow?"

Olga Marie immediately said, "That won't do. Who told you to solve all the problems by yourself? Of course, we need the intelligence provided by you right now!"

After saying that, she chuckled, looking very pleased with herself.

"Alright." Mephistopheles shrugged, took out the Holy Grail, and tossed it to Ritsuka Fujimaru.

"It's yours."

"Huh?! You're giving this to me?" Ritsuka Fujimaru looked at the Holy Grail in her hand in surprise. She knew its use and value, and Mephistopheles was actually giving it to her. Didn't he want it?

"You and Mash Kyrielight should take this Holy Grail to Leonardo da Vinci; perhaps she'll have some brilliant ideas to help you."

After saying that, Mephistopheles didn't linger and rushed to his bedroom as fast as he could, because he still had to write a report!

Chapter 153 Summoning

After resolving the second Singularity and obtaining Mephistopheles's report, the meeting resumed.

Olga Marie asked, "What are your thoughts on the fact that Nero, despite being human, can wield power comparable to a Servant?"

In the Second Singularity, Nero displayed terrifying power in a human body, leaving a deep impression on everyone.

However, as they said those words, everyone couldn't help but turn to look at the guy who was fiddling with the pen.

Mephistopheles placed the pen on the table and looked at everyone with a puzzled expression. "Why are you looking at me?"

Everyone turned their heads back again.

There's this guy who's completely oblivious to his surroundings. Despite being human, he displays power far more terrifying than Nero!

Gudako said, "Could it be because of Magecraft?"

Mash Kyrielight shook her head. "She doesn't seem to know Magecraft or have any knowledge of it, so is it possible that it's related to her weapon?"

Romani was also somewhat doubtful. "That's certainly possible. If the weapon itself is Noble Phantasm, it's possible that it could enhance the user's power."

Just as everyone was discussing this, a voice suddenly broke in. "Actually, I do know why Nero can display such power."

The speaker was Mephistopheles.

Everyone immediately looked at him again. Olga Marie frowned. "You know?"

"Yes, I know."

Olga Marie resisted the urge to roll her eyes and tried to lower her voice, "If you had known, you should have said so sooner!"

"I was spacing out just now!"

Seeing Mephistopheles so confidently admit that he was daydreaming, Olga Marie felt her head buzzing.

She took a deep breath and said, "Hurry up and tell me!"

"Nero's identity is very special. Because of certain literary allusions, she possesses the characteristics of a beast. You can understand Nero as having the characteristics of both Whore of Babylon and Beast 666."

"As for this part of history, if you know about the development of Christianity, then you should understand. Of course, I must say it's nonsense, but in the process of being passed down, she did acquire these characteristics and possess certain qualities."

"Nero is a beast?!" Olga Marie frowned, while Romani fell into deep thought upon hearing this. Fou, standing beside him, immediately exclaimed, as if in agreement.

Leonardo da Vinci then asked, "Then why do you say this is absurd?"

"Because I had a past connection with the Scarlet Mother, well, back in the Age of Age of Gods in Greece," Mephistopheles chuckled.

It was quite obvious that they didn't understand what Mephistopheles was saying.

"The Scarlet Mother?"

"Within a special Tree of Life system, the being at the highest point of the Yin realm is the Scarlet Mother, which is the Whore of Babylon I just mentioned. Others are at the highest position of the Yin Prima Materia, while the corresponding highest position of the Yang realm is the Beast 666. Now do you understand why I said it was nonsense at the beginning?"

Leonardo da Vinci asked with some doubt, "The True Magic you've learned—well, True Magic, if I'm not mistaken, your True Magic is the orthodox Tree of Life system, right? How can you have such a strange Tree of Life?"

"I do mainly follow the more orthodox path, but that doesn't mean I can't study other types," Mephistopheles chuckled, speaking very casually. "The more you know, the faster your strength will improve. Besides, Medea's words are probably being watched by the Scarlet Mother, after all, back then..."

Everyone continued to stare at Mephistopheles, but Mephistopheles suddenly shut his mouth and said nothing more.

Olga Marie then Rampage: "What the hell was that all about?!"

Mephistopheles shrugged. "It's just that during the course of my relationship with Medea, we did some research on the Scarlet Lady's True Magic, such as how to channel her power."

Olga Marie opened her mouth, unsure whether to continue asking, while the others exchanged glances, also unsure whether to continue. Mephistopheles, seeing this, shook his head. "Don't tell me you think that kind of behavior can only replenish mana."

Ritsuka Fujimaru looked puzzled, not understanding what these people were talking about.

Seeing that the group of people were actually nodding, Mephistopheles helplessly covered his forehead.

"Alright, this is also a type of True Magic, belonging to sex True Magic... It works very quickly, but it's also difficult to resist the urges. I don't recommend touching it if you don't have sufficient skill. You might accidentally lure the divine child down, which could bring you bad luck."

Ritsuka Fujimaru's eyes widened. She finally understood what these people were wondering about, and she also finally understood why Mephistopheles hadn't been very willing to explain in detail at first.

Wow, there's such amazing True Magic!

This is so unexpected!

Judging from the situation, it seems that no one else knows about this kind of True Magic. As expected of Mephistopheles, he knows so much that others don't!

As Ritsuka Fujimaru thought about it, her admiration grew stronger.

Mephistopheles then said, "Anyway, I've explained why Nero possesses combat power close to that of a Servant. Can we move on to other things now?"

Olga Marie nodded. "Yes, let's continue the meeting."

After she finished speaking, she glared at Mephistopheles, almost letting this guy lead her astray!

At this moment, Leonardo da Vinci spoke up, "We've made some modifications to Mash Kyrielight's shield so that the Holy Grail can be placed inside, thus providing you with sufficient power for your actions."

This powerful strength naturally refers to strong magical power. As Demi-Servant, Mash Kyrielight's strength is inherently weaker than that of ordinary Servants, but now that she has the Holy Grail, this problem is solved.

Moreover, this way, even without Ritsuka Fujimaru, Mash Kyrielight's mobility can be increased, so she won't be unable to act without her Master. It can be said that her ability to act independently is instantly raised to the MAX level.

"By the way, I have a question. In your report on this operation, Mephistopheles, you mentioned that Lev transformed into a strange monster. You said that it was the true form of the Demon Pillar?"

Mephistopheles nodded and said, "That's right, just as I reported. Lev has shown the appearance of Demon Pillar, and because of his special nature, Lev should be able to keep reviving until the Root of the problem is solved. Moreover, it is very likely that not only Lev, but the other Demon Pillar should be similar."

Olga Marie then asked, "After you defeated Lev, the servant he summoned, whom you called Attila, is described in history as the Hunnic Queen, the Scourge of God. But why did you say she was an enemy of civilization?"

Mephistopheles asked doubtfully, "Didn't I write it?"

"I wrote it, but I really don't understand. According to you, Attila appeared on Earth during the Age of Gods and was the culprit who almost destroyed Earth's civilization. So how did a culprit become a human, and even become the Hunnic King?"

Mephistopheles then realized that he had written it very casually, only mentioning a slight relationship.

After a detailed explanation of the connection between Attila and Age of Gods, who nearly wiped out the gods in the Sefar of Gods, everyone finally understood what had happened.

"The alien life Sefar, which destroyed the physical body of the Machine Gods and even caused the gods to be driven back, was ultimately defeated by a weapon forged by the planet, the Star Sword..." Olga Marie sighed.

Romani then said, "And this Star Sword is actually King Arthur's weapon!"

Then, everyone couldn't help but look at Mephistopheles, Mephistopheles asked with a puzzled expression, "What?"

Mephistopheles's report clearly stated that he used the Star Sword Magecraft Formula to condense a fake Star Sword, and then killed Attila, mainly by exploiting an elemental advantage.

This weapon was clearly forged from a planet, yet this guy actually managed to create it?!

Mephistopheles grinned. "You want to learn? Just say so! It's not like I won't teach you!"

His generous manner left everyone speechless.

While others prefer to keep their magic secrets, he loves to go around teaching people, wishing everyone could learn True Magic and then use True Magic.

After the meeting ended, Mephistopheles left the conference room and went to the control room.

Mephistopheles casually turned on a computer and began browsing.

Olga Marie didn't know when she came behind her. She looked at the information Morpheus was looking for and wondered, "Why are you looking for these? The next singularity is not Japan."

"It's nothing, I just feel that Ritsuka's strength is still a bit lacking. If she had a suitable weapon, she would be safer."

"You're planning to create a Noble Phantasm for Ritsuka?" Olga Marie asked, then, recalling Mephistopheles's terminology for his equipment, changed her answer to, "Spirit Dress?"

"Hmm, let's get a Spirit Dress. Although Muramasa very famous, that curse is also quite famous, so it's better to get a different one."

"Muramasa not that strong either?"

"Not bad, passable. It shouldn't be a problem if she fights with Servants." Mephistopheles said, continuing to flip through the mythological data. After searching through some more content, he finally looked at a photograph.

Looking at the contents of the photo, Olga Marie read aloud, "The Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi?"

Then, her voice rose a few decibels. "The Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi?!"

"What's wrong?"

"Are you planning to remake this?"

"That's right. Since we're going to build one, let's build a powerful one. The Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi would be quite suitable. Besides, isn't Ritsuka Japan? And right now she's busy saving Human Order, so in some ways she's a good match for her."

Mephistopheles wasn't joking; if cannon veiled deities were possible, then Ritsuka Fujimaru would most likely be one of them.

As a weapon associated with the death of Yamata-no-Orochi in Japan mythology, the Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi is indeed suitable for Ritsuka Fujimaru.

However, Mephistopheles didn't have the materials needed to make this weapon, so he looked at Olga Marie.

"Director," Mephistopheles said with a grin.

Olga Marie shivered.

"Beautiful Miss Marie," Mephistopheles continued with a grin.

Olga Marie's eyes widened, and she immediately shouted, "Just say what you want to say, don't talk to me like that!"

"It's nothing, I just hope you can provide me with some materials so I can use them as the basis for making weapons for Ritsuka Fujimaru. As an investigator, Ritsuka Fujimaru is also a very important combat force, so you shouldn't refuse, right?"

"Do I look like the kind of person who would refuse?!" Olga Marie exclaimed, immediately signing a document for Mephistopheles. "Here, go get your materials!"

"Okay!" Mephistopheles took the signed paper and happily walked towards the materials preparation area.

Once you get your hands on these materials, and then spend a little time forging the Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi, that's all you need to do.

The materials are also very simple; ordinary steel is sufficient, and forging is also very easy. Using the tools available at Chaldea, it can be quickly shaped to make it exactly the same as the Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi in Mephistopheles's memory.

They are exactly the same, at least in appearance.

Then, most importantly, are the other props prepared for symbolic purposes.

Mephistopheles wanted Olga Marie's signature, but his real intention was to use the summoning circle.

"What do you intend to summon?" Romani and Leonardo da Vinci, who had rushed over upon hearing this, looked at Mephistopheles, and Romani asked.

"Of course, it's something that allows the Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi to truly acquire its concept..." Mephistopheles said, picking up the blood he had prepared beforehand and beginning to add a new True Magic circle around the summoning True Magic circle of Chaldea.

These True Magic circles are all composed of divine names, completely enveloping the area as if to prevent anything inside from escaping.

Seeing that Mephistopheles would prepare so much for summoning a Servant, Romani and Leonardo da Vinci were both somewhat expectant, wanting to see what Mephistopheles was planning to summon.

Then, Mephistopheles began to chant the incantation.

It was an incantation I'd never heard before, completely different from the usual incantations for summoning Servants. Moreover, this incantation sounded more like a command than a polite promise to sign a contract.
