Chapter 742 - 14: Anomaly Zone—Gu Mo’s Travel Log (Part 2)
When first summoned, a series of shocks left me unable to cope.Then, driven by my thirst for revenge, I rushed to the battlefield in Fuyuki City and was consumed by thoughts of how to complete my revenge on Kiritsugu before my death, plotting how to regain the initiative and make the other side act according to my plan, never considering actually communicating with him.
As a result, I didn’t even know who that person was...
Thinking of this, the silver-haired loli’s mood suddenly dropped, realizing she hadn’t even done this basic thing, no wonder the other side gradually stopped seeing her as the Master.
"It’s already meal time..."
A gradually familiar voice came, and Ilya looked up to see that pale moonlight figure standing before them at some unknown point.
"Senpai!"
Makoto Sakura quickly stood up: "You’re hungry, right? It must have been tough... This is a bento I bought on my way back from school, I wonder if it suits your taste?"
"Giving out bento at this time feels a bit ominous..." Gu Mo rested his chin on his hand and couldn’t help but make a remark while looking at the bento box handed over by the purple-haired girl.
Makoto Sakura: "?"
"Nothing, thank you..." Gu Mo didn’t want to dampen her goodwill, so he accepted the bento box and scanned the few people before him, as if pondering something, carefully organizing his words. At this time, Ilya’s face had already paled.
"T-that...did it f-fail?"
She trembled as she asked, knowing that the truly terrifying thing is never disappointment, but having hope only to have it crushed again.
"Oh, not this..." Gu Mo blinked and said calmly, "I just haven’t started yet because I discovered something even more... Hmm, how should I put it? Probably a more thorough opportunity to change your lives, an opportunity to completely rewrite life..."
His gaze swept over their faces, revealing a very interested smile: "So I wanted to ask for your opinion, if you’re interested, I can try to take advantage of this opportunity to reconstruct a part of history and bring you along, after all, it’s just a casual thing to do."
After thinking a bit, he added——
"Uh, it’s okay if you’re not interested, we can first complete this Holy Grail War, then you stay behind, and I’ll go to that world myself."
He was still earnest in his agreements, if they weren’t interested, then he’d first complete this Holy Grail War, fulfilling his promise before proceeding.
"..."
"..."
A silence fell over the scene.
They couldn’t help but look at each other, feeling that every word this person just said was understandable, but when combined, it didn’t make any sense... No, that’s not it, perhaps because they understood, they felt they couldn’t comprehend it.
Something incredible, beyond understanding, bizarre was happening.
They hadn’t been prepared when they received a warning and premonition... a warning and premonition, because if they make a choice, the world they currently live in would disappear, the world they are used to would cease to exist, at least for them.
But...but...
Is it really possible? Such outlandish claims, they naturally found hard to believe.
Gu Mo wasn’t in a rush, simply leaving time for the other side to think, he sat down on the temporary platform arranged there, leisurely opening the bento box. It was at this moment, the silver-haired loli finally came back to her senses, eagerly stepping forward, grabbing his arm:
"Can you really do it? Make everything return to its original state?"
Her eyes, beautiful like red gemstones, were full of desire and hope.
"Completely returning to the original state isn’t realistic, because the premise set is a world leading towards an IF line, I can only try to fill in fictional matters on that basis..." Gu Mo put down the bento box, earnestly explaining, this was something he was confident he could achieve.
He saw the other side of "Kong" inside the Great Holy Grail.
It seemed to be the world line he previously entered in FGO... Maybe because the inside of the Great Holy Grail is actually the outside of the world? The true Grail, without taking form, without being activated, fixing that "Kong", has not opened the passage to descend into the real world.
Because it’s always situated outside, like the Heroic Spirit Throne, perhaps it’s connected to other parallel worlds?
This was Gu Mo’s speculation, the important thing is he witnessed the descent of the Imaginary Tree on the other side of "Kong", seeds sown on Earth by the Alien God, capable of initializing the planet, forming a phenomenon that filters Anomalous Histories, completing an invasion of reality.
Once activated, it will use tremendous Magic Power to recall the human order of the star, attacking Earth itself based on this Anomaly Zone’s human history.
Just like there is competition among life exists, there is victory and defeat in history, among numerous unknown anomalous histories, stronger things exist, a possibility more extreme than Pan-Human History. Simply put, the Imaginary Tree can initialize the current human order, cause those erroneous histories to emerge, thereby replacing the "current" world line...
And possibly due to the record once uploaded by Gu Mo, which had already covered this Dungeon World once——
That’s why among the Imaginary Roots sown by the Alien God, a seed happened to take root in a coverage record brought by Gu Mo... According to his observation, that was a phantom-like anomalous history, probably a possibility derived from his uploaded record.
Starting from the historical timeline of Nioh World...
And extending forward for a full five hundred years of world line development.
Yet perhaps due to extreme prosperity, this erroneous grandeur was ultimately a pruned record. And so, the tremendously strong and fierce nature of this record was chosen by the Imaginary Root, to be rerooted and make this Anomaly Zone reappear... Gu Mo, being the absolute center that created this record, naturally was also intended to be re-manifested.
Then——
The Gu Mo who descended into this parallel world, relying on his "Single Appearance" ability to transcend world lines, peered into the other side inside the space-time rift of the Great Holy Grail...
Of course, he couldn’t have no ideas.
Although the Imaginary Root was sown by the Alien God, since it took root in his anomalous history, naturally it would be his... just like a game published on the PC platform, not only what you wear but even your appearance would not be up to you.
