Never heard of them

Chaldea has mobilized its entire force for this operation, as there are quite a few targets, and both Kadoc and Ophelia plan to summon Heroic Spirit after entering the Lostbelt.

Parvati, Karna, and Rama are all longtime partners who have fought alongside Ritsuka. It would not be a good idea to split them up and assign them to other Master. As for Hinako Akuta, Sherlock Holmes has already investigated her Master abilities.

The conclusion was that it was better for her, as the Master, to fight than to let her command the Servant.

Naturally, Bai Mo was summoned after arriving in the Lostbelt.

The Imaginary Number Dive journey was swift. The group piloted the Shadow Border and quickly ascended, soon arriving at the India Lostbelt. What greeted their eyes, however, was a desolate scene.

The land was cracked, and even weeds could not grow on this parched Daichi. A few withered trees in the distance looked lifeless, like fallen skeletons. The air was scorching hot, carrying sand and dust that made it impossible to open one's eyes.

"What's going on? Ganges disappeared?"

Bai Mo looked at this Daichi with surprise. According to Rama and Karna, drought was basically nonexistent in India during the Age of Gods. Not only was there the Ganges, the mother river, but in some arid areas, Indra could also bring rain through sacrifices.

Even in modern times, it wasn't like this; the land beneath our feet and the withered trees in the distance clearly show that water once flowed here.

"It's really strange. I've traveled all over India in search of Sita, but I've never seen this kind of terrain. And this unfamiliar wind... Is this really India?"

Upon hearing Rama's words, everyone sensed the problem. Even he felt unfamiliar with it, indicating that the situation in this Lostbelt was more complex than they had imagined.

"Let's proceed according to plan. Locate the spiritual vein and ask the locals what happened here."

Ritsuka gave the order, and Bai Mo also unleashed his senses. His senses were like an underground river, hidden and vast, and he quickly made a discovery.

"At 126° southeast, 350 kilometers away, there's a village just over the mountain, right next to the spiritual vein."

"Alright, let's go!"

Upon receiving Bai Mo's information, Ritsuka immediately set the coordinates. The Shadow Border's engine roared like a wild horse, propelling the group forward at high speed.

Bai Mo continued to expand his senses. Generally speaking, in Lostbelt, one would find something like an outpost, but along the way, there was nothing but desolate Daichi.

It can't be said that there was nothing at all; Bai Mo did find some corpses holding weapons, suggesting that they had died in some kind of struggle.

Have we arrived in Kali Yuga?

Looking at this desolate and bleak scene, Bai Mo couldn't help but sigh. Hinako Akuta and the others, hearing this term, were somewhat puzzled. Rama Mo then explained to them:

In India, the development of the world is composed of a series Yuga Yuga cycles, each of which is divided into Yuga: the Krita Yuga, the Treta Yuga, the Dvapara Yuga, and the Kali Yuga, with the duration of each stage decreasing sequentially.

As time goes by, the Dharma in the world gradually diminishes, and human struggles gradually increase.

"My era is that of Treta Yuga, while Karna's is that of Dvapara Yuga, right?"

Karna nodded and said, "Even the Kurukshetra War in my time didn't reach this level of desolation, so Mr. Bai Mo must have mistaken this place for Kali Yuga."

"I didn't witness the Kurukshetra War, but I felt it was already terrible enough; such an environment was the limit of human survival."

That said, at the end of Kali Yuga, Vishnu's final avatar— the White Horse Kalki —will come into the world to destroy all evil, and then begin a new cycle of Yuga reincarnation.

"At this rate, we might run into him again."

Faced with Bai Mo's joke, the others couldn't quite laugh. Beings capable of destroying the world were not easy to deal with, while Karna, standing to the side, revealed a somewhat subtle look in his eyes.

Shadow Border quickly arrived at the village, which was almost like a war zone. Some villagers dressed in tattered clothes came out and looked at the group with wary eyes.

"Ritsuka, come with me to negotiate. While we're at it, check on these people; their health isn't good."

Bai Mo seemed oblivious to the wary and hostile gazes of these people. He and Ritsuka got out of the car, and Rama and Karna also got out, since the two were both famous heroes in India mythology and should have an advantage in communicating with them.

"Who are you? Get out of here! Our village doesn't welcome outsiders!"

A portly middle-aged man walked out. While everyone else was dressed in shabby clothes, his attire was relatively decent, suggesting he was the village chief.

Ritsuka was about to speak, Bai Mo snapped his fingers, and then greenery began to spread from the ground beneath his feet. Even the dry well in the center of the village began to gush water under the Magnetic Field Power.

"Judging from the current situation, you need help. Think it over carefully." As Bai Mo finished speaking, almost everyone in the village felt their hearts skip a beat. Then, under the gaze of all the villagers, the village chief muttered a curse under his breath and said irritably:

"Alright, what do you want? As you can see, we don't have any gold left."

"All we need is some intelligence."

After Bai Mo finished speaking, Ritsuka took a step forward to begin the conversation, secretly pleased with herself. In normal times, in Singularity, initial negotiations would often fail, and one might even be verbally abused by some mean locals.

Bai Mo then walked towards a dark-skinned man, who shielded his daughter behind him, but the little girl's eyes revealed curiosity.

What do you want to do?

The man remained highly vigilant, while Bai Mo patted his shoulder. A surge of Magnetic Field Power caused a muscle twitch, and the man felt some of his hidden ailments disappear.

"From now on, go drink the water from that spring, filter it, boil it, and drink it too. The same goes for that child."

He casually flicked out a burst of energy, healing the little girl, who was young but already malnourished. Bringing a child into this world was hardly a good choice.

After doing all this, Bai Mo didn't say anything more, but simply turned and walked towards another house.

After dealing with several cases, Bai Mo heard footsteps behind him. A girl timidly followed, carrying a large yellow dog whose right hind leg was not very strong.

"Um... could you..."

Before the words were even finished, the Magnetic Field Power wrapped around the dog's leg like a ribbon. For this child, this pet was a very important person in the world.

Upon seeing this, the girl immediately smiled with delight.

"Thank you so much, big brother! That's incredible! How did you do that?"

"You'll understand when you grow up."

Bai Mo didn't know how to answer. He found it strange. Could it be that no one in this world has ever obtained the Source of Power? It seemed that no one here had ever come into contact with Magnetic Field Power.

Upon hearing Bai Mo's answer, the girl looked adorably thoughtful, then clapped her hands and exclaimed, "I know! Big brother must be a god too! So there's more than one god in the world!"

"I'm not... Wait, what did you say? What do you mean by more than one god?"

The exchange between the two immediately caught the attention of the India Servant. Judging from the girl's words, it seemed that there was only one god in this Lostbelt. This was terrifying, as it meant that at least two of the Trimurti — Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva —had disappeared, or even worse.

"Wait, child, do you know me? Look at this face, doesn't it look a bit like Rama from the Ramayana?"

Rama immediately asked, and then brought Karna over as well, but the little girl looked puzzled and asked, "Rama? Karna? I don't recognize those names, I've never heard of them before."
