Stray Chapter 8: Future gifting?

But no matter what, Xia Ran, who is full of doubts and surprises, can't do anything now.

He was also able to passively watch the so-called God-given blessings being "returned" all at once.

A large amount of information that does not need to be described in words just pours in from the other end of the link. At this moment, I seem to be a simple bystander, and I can only watch this huge amount of information with cold eyes. The tide came from the other side.

Yes, the tide of information.

Because I can intuitively feel the huge amount of information moving, as if my consciousness is being washed away by the raging tide.

If it weren't for the fact that his own mental will is already extremely strong and tenacious, and he has such experience and experience, then there may be a situation of data overload.

But now...

As the huge computing power was fully deployed, the instant explosion of this huge amount of information did not cause any waves in his field of consciousness, nor did it cause any huge impact, but was quickly destroyed by his Concentrated to guide, summarize, organize and archive, and directly incorporate it into the vast knowledge base that is mysterious and unpredictable.

It really is an unusually large memory palace, built in the deepest area of ​​his consciousness, the Fudo Great Library.

Any topic can draw a scary-looking table of contents in it, listing countless magic books, manuscripts, notes, sketches or design cases, which can extend various knowledge items.

Even with the huge explosion of information that is pouring in right now, it is far less than the huge volume of this knowledge palace, although it is not as scary as a mud cow entering the sea, not even a splash of water.

But it is indeed far from exaggerated to say that Xia Ran can't bear it all of a sudden, the direct data overload, and the burning consciousness is so exaggerated.

In this way, he is like a huge sponge, quickly absorbing the waves of information that come in.

And it's not just a simple absorption, but at the same time, he is also performing synchronous analysis and translation at a high speed, trying to turn these things into things that he can understand and really digest.

I don't know if it's because his magic foundation is extremely solid, and he doesn't have any adverse reactions or conflicts with the system of this world. He can quickly download and update the latest version on this basis; , everything is perfect, so there is no difficulty in accepting it.

In short, the speed of parsing and translation is extremely fast, and the progress bar visible to the naked eye is surging, which makes Xia Ran feel that there is something obviously wrong.

But without waiting for him to think about it, and there is no way to stop it, the suddenly opened download update has been completed.

Quantitative change will inevitably lead to qualitative change. This ideal must be understood by everyone. Moreover, the "quantity" that is rapidly accumulating already has a very high "quality". Variety.

It's as if you've crossed some critical threshold, as if you've broken through some level of realm, as if you've unlocked some shackles... All in all, your vision suddenly becomes clearer, and you seem to see a whole new world.

"Wait, this is... the spirit of the law?"

Xia Ran felt extremely stunned. He was no stranger to this feeling. Not only was he very familiar, he could even be said to be very skilled.

Because he has really tried many times, using his spells and skills for Charlotte or Arturia, because he has gathered his own experience and perception, and nurtured wisdom and spirituality, those abilities In a sense, it is living information, as if it has an intellect of its own will.

In addition to different expressions, these spells and skills can also be like weapons and armor.

No matter who can wear it and use it, the performance effect will not be different. At most, the user's own consciousness can't keep up, which is a drag on the performance of these weapons.

But in the past it was Xia Ran who lent his Primordial Spirit spell to others, and this was the first time he had gotten such an experience from someone else... But this feeling is the same as his own spell ability. When I got it back, it didn't seem to make a difference.

It seems that it was originally something that belonged to oneself. It was an extension of its own strength, and it was a close relationship like siblings.

Quickly searched for the information that had been parsed and compiled in a short period of time. He only felt even more astonished. It seemed that this was indeed his knowledge and skills——

It may be strange to say that, and he wonders if he's thinking too much, or if he's delusional.

This seems to be possible. After all, the information was absorbed and digested by him in a short period of time, so it is not completely unreasonable to have such an illusion... Just as some things are quickly accepted by themselves, even I feel that this should be my own thoughts, isn't it normal?

But after re-examining and trying to look objectively at the search several times, he finally found that he was not quite sure——

Some ideas are ideas that I have had before, but I haven't really set up a project for deduction research, but now they have appeared in my cognition, it seems that they have been polished thousands of times, and they have become the ultimate perfection. The result is crystallized...

Some frameworks are mature plans that I have already started to conduct deduction research, and even have established general ideas, but now I have obtained a more complete and complete final product, beyond the stage of his sketches and design plans... …

There are also some spells that I have never thought about, whether they are newly created or improved optimization adjustments, but although I have never thought about it, I can see some of my unique styles and ideas from them...

It's hell! It's like it happened in the distant future, a gift that I left behind to make up for the past!

Being stunned for a long time, the magician looked at that piece of time and space with a very complicated mood, and at Solomon, who seemed to be relaxed. Thought thoughts.

——Is there something I don't know, something I can't confirm yet...

——It's just that the other party should not know, and there is no way to send a message to ask...

Because Xia Ran can feel it, the reason why she appeared here seems to be waiting for the other party to "return" these things to herself.

And after this thing is completed, I will be out of this state, and I am losing the intersection with that piece of time and space.

The resonance with those nodes begins to become unclear, and the links and connections between them seem to be becoming ambiguous and blurred, and they will lose synchronization and disconnect at any time...

The picture he saw began to be distorted, and the sound he heard seemed to be seriously disturbed by the signal in the communication. He didn't know whether the world was moving away or his own consciousness was moving away.

After that, Xia Ran couldn't perceive anything.

……

……

The Temple of the Crown of Time.

The ground beneath my feet began to shake, and the entire space felt a distinct tremor, as if an earthquake had occurred. The strange plants that formed the land around the rock formations as foundations in the distance all snapped inch by inch, and the suspended rocks in the sky The blocks also fell like hail!

Everything is falling apart, and this whole inherent enchantment has begun to fall apart—

Because the foundation that exists in the imaginary space isolated from the normal time flow, the time crown temple made by augmenting the remains of King Solomon has been swept away and completely gone. exist.

As a result, this magic workshop has become a castle in the sky, with no basis for continued existence, it is deviating from reality, becoming illusory, and is about to die out completely.

Feeling that calm and emotionless, familiar and unfamiliar sight that seemed to be cast from the void disappeared, Solomon sighed in disappointment, knowing that he was no longer being watched.

He then gave a relieved smile.

Just like when he was alive, he did not prevent himself from returning the blessings without authorization, declaring that from now on, the destiny will not be handed over to the Almighty God, but the era when mankind will live on its own will.

But this is also normal. Even the ring that he last held was a distant gift left to the future according to his instructions when he died, but it turned out to be the key to saving humanity.

If I didn't have this ring as a holy relic, I wouldn't have been summoned by my former director eleven years ago, I wouldn't have participated in the Holy Grail War, I wouldn't have made a wish to become a human being so I could stay in the world, and I wouldn't have been There is a chance to solve Getia...

"Ah, ah, ah !! Why do you want to do this! Why do you want to do so? Why, why you want, make this decision!"

The Demon King Gaetia on the jade seat made a tragic sound. It clasped its hair in both hands and let out a hysterical howl. It was desperate and resentful, like a wild dog that was driven to the end of a dead alley.

It feels extreme pain and discomfort, because it has lost the sense of power that has never lacked any existence since its birth, its performance has been weakened and reduced like the speed of light, and its own existence is gradually dwarfing.

Fear.

Angry.

Abomination.

As the end crumbles, feelings never experienced take its siblings. Because the union could no longer be maintained, the siblings gradually collapsed, and the seventy-two Demon God Pillars gradually stopped their functional movements based on their own judgments.

Don't understand the fear of wanting to cry for help, the whimper wanting to plead not to take it all away.

So regretful, so anxious, so embarrassing, I don't understand.

I can't bear it, I really can't bear it... That's why I'm afraid.

"Doctor...? What did you do!?"

At this time, Tatsuka Fujimaru asked with a trembling voice. She saw that Dr. Roman's body also seemed to be collapsing, just like the accelerated weathered footage in a documentary.

"I just abandoned everything I had. If this realm was King Solomon's body, it would have collapsed now." The doctor smiled indifferently, "Because what I have abandoned is everything I have, this body and life. , of course it will also disappear, which is the so-called self-destruction attack."

“…are you going to…die?”

"Although it's scary and sad, it's something I can do." The doctor stared into the girl's eyes seriously and said apologetically, "This choice was taught to me by you and Matthew, I If I had stood up sooner... it would have been a shame, but I ended up not being smart enough in the end."

“…”

“…”

The girl bit her lip, not knowing what to say.

"It's finally time, the last sight I see is your victory." Dr. Roman smiled and said seriously, "Also, after the sixth singularity, you don't need to care anymore, although after you Still have to face it, but it's not a singularity by then, and maybe you can still get help from there."

"I...I don't understand..."

"I will understand later..." The doctor's figure began to fade. "For survival, there is no difference between good and evil. Even if you are ignorant, you should do your best to shout. No matter how much you commit, no matter how much you commit. mistakes, and innumerable debts..."
