Type-Moon: I! The Magic King! Am going to marry Tiamat!

Page 90

Mordred raised an eyebrow, though she didn't know what they were thinking, she felt it was very rude.

However, seeing that almost everyone was standing in the same line, she didn't ask any more questions and continued to listen in silence.

Marne ignored her and turned to the Lion King, saying, "But this might put us in trouble. Things aren't as simple as we think."

As mentioned before, Alaya's approach is cautious and meticulous, subtle yet disgusting and shameless.

He wouldn't force the Lion King to descend without a reason. Since the Lion King was allowed to descend, there must be things that she had to do.

This involves another important setting of Type-Moon.

Counter means to restrain, counter, or target.

For example, Saber counters Lancer, Lancer counters Archer, and Archer counters Saber; this is the most basic counter.

The heroic spirits summoned by Alaya are a further counter, a counter to a specific enemy or an obstacle that will inevitably be encountered.

For example, Emiya's Unlimited Blade Works is a hard counter to Gilgamesh (A-class), Gilgamesh's Ea completely counters King's Army, and King's Army completely counters the Hundred Faces clones.

For example, there are cases in various singularities, such as Superman Orion versus Artemis, the village of a thousand children versus EDO, and the progenitor of the gods versus Zeus.

Tiamat was even countered twice: King Hassan gave her the concept of death, and then Merlin eliminated her Sea of ​​Life in one fell swoop. It couldn't be clearer that she was being targeted.

This is a prerequisite for the counteracting force Alaya to summon heroic spirits to resolve the crisis. The heroic spirits summoned by it must have some kind of counter nature, so that the 'just right' effect can be achieved at the lowest cost.

Of course, neither the God Ancestor nor Merlin were summoned by the Counter Force, but we must add another setting about the Counter Force here.

That is, the actions of the inhibitory force will be seen by the public as a coincidence that is taken for granted.

In other words, the actions of the restraining force are not necessarily visible behaviors like summoning heroic spirits; they may also be things that people take for granted, but which are secretly driven by the restraining force.

This is why, despite having 370 ways to destroy the Earth and all of humanity in modern civilization, none of them have happened.

For example, if the owner of a timber company were to devote all his assets to increasing logging in the Amazon, it could cause a drastic change in the Earth's climate system within a year, leading to the collapse of the planet and the extinction of all species on Earth.

The reason this didn't happen was because the restraining force subtly made people feel that doing so was wrong, thus stopping the boss. A crisis that could destroy the world was thus averted through a series of actions that seemed perfectly reasonable to everyone.

Therefore, the appearance of these two people can be said to be driven by a restraining force in the shadows. As for whether it is true or not, opinions will vary.

Closer to home.

Because of the counter setting, the Lion King was summoned for a reason; there was something that 'just happened' that she had to do.

"Yes, it could even be quite troublesome." Prince Zi nodded, a somewhat worried expression on his face.

This is undoubtedly a mixed bag of news.

Fortunately, with her support 'sent' by the restraining force, this crisis is basically under control.

The bad thing is that even with her added, their combat strength is only 'just right'.

This process is undoubtedly quite dangerous, and there is even a possibility of some sacrifices.

This is something the Lion King doesn't want to see; she doesn't really want anyone, no matter who, to sacrifice themselves.

Chapter 127 The wife isn't the wife? The DNA has been activated!

The Lion King was somewhat worried, and so was Marne.

However, he was worried that the hand of the restraining force had already reached out to him, which made him very uncomfortable.

As an ambitious young man... no! a teenager who upholds the excellent traditional Chinese belief that the Chinese people can conquer nature!

Marx and Eng felt a natural aversion to this guy who manipulated everything behind the scenes, as if he had arranged everyone's fate.

This isn't simply a dislike of the concept of heaven or fate—after all, people in China also believe in destiny, reincarnation, and other things with elements of fate—but rather a dislike of the inability to control one's own destiny and its being swayed by external factors.

Basically, it's the frustration of having one's rights violated.

However, there's nothing that can be done even if he's unhappy. Maren doesn't yet have the ability to challenge the inhibitory force. He can only hope that the inhibitory force won't 'set up' for him.

We still need to deal with the immediate problems first.

"No matter what, the die is cast now. There's no use thinking too much. Things will work themselves out. Let's just take it one step at a time."

Ma En shook his head, too lazy to think about it anymore. No matter how much you know about some things, it's still hard to guard against them.

Now that we know the Lion King was sent by the Counterforce, it at least means that this singularity event can be resolved.

As for how to solve it and what price to pay, that remains to be seen.

However, just knowing this much is already very good news.

For the rest, we can only do our best and figure out a solution later.

"Yes, being able to confirm that is enough for me."

The Lion King nodded solemnly. Just knowing the reason why she was forced to descend was enough for her.

She will no longer be lost; she will have her own reason to fight—for the world, for humanity!

It has to be said that Alaya, this scumbag boss, really understands these heroic spirits. She has a firm grasp on the Lion King's personality, and she knew that once she understood, she would definitely lend a hand.

Ma En waved his hand and said with a smile, "Alright, let's not talk about these heavy things. It's getting late, let's have dinner together."

'That's exactly what I've been waiting for!' X3

The three, who had originally come just to freeload a meal, immediately perked up and watched Ma and En's actions with anticipation.

Ma En did not disappoint them, quickly preparing a table full of delicious food and inviting everyone to eat, while he himself also indulged in a hearty meal.

His body had been dormant for five days, without food or water. He hadn't felt anything before because he was busy, but now that he was relaxed, he was both hungry and thirsty.

The dinner was a great success, and after everyone had finished eating, Marne suddenly said to Irisviel, who had also finished, "Mrs. Irisviel, tomorrow..."

Before he could finish speaking, Irisviel interrupted him.

"Maensang, why do you keep calling me 'Madam'? I'm not even married yet," Lisfield said, somewhat embarrassed and troubled.

She had wanted to say it for a while, but unfortunately she didn't have the chance. For example, at the last dinner party, they had just started talking about it when Ma En left the table. She explained to the others afterward, but Ma En wasn't there.

"Ok?"

Now it was Marne's turn to be confused. Was there something wrong with the situation again, just like when Kenneth summoned Mordred and then Sora stole his Command Seals?

However, it's unlikely that his arrival in this world caused a butterfly effect; rather, it's probably because this world is inherently different from the anime he's seen, due to a mismatch in timelines.

He had only been in this world for a year, and Irisviel's marriage had been several years ago.

Thinking this, Marne tentatively said, "Don't you have a daughter? And during this time, that magician assassin has also started going in and out of Eindzbernburg. I thought..."

“No, you’ve misunderstood.” Lisfield quickly shook her head in denial and explained, “That person and Einzbern are just business partners. As for Ilya, she’s just my own daughter.”

"I see." Hmm, I roughly understand. It's the kind of thing that time travelers love to see: most of the female characters have no connection with other men.

After realizing what had happened, Maren quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss Alice, I was mistaken."

"It's okay, as long as you don't call me that anymore, it just feels weird." Lisfield smiled, but her expression was still a little conflicted, making her look quite adorable.

For a fleeting moment, even Marne was somewhat tempted.

After all, Irisviel's white hair and red eyes are definitely a perfect target for Chinese special forces.

Moreover, the wife was no longer a wife; without the constraints of morality, Marne's long-suppressed heart suddenly stirred, and now Irisviel seemed incredibly delicious to him.

For men, the desire for sex is practically ingrained in their DNA.

Even though Marne was somewhat restrained by his first wife Tiamat and wouldn't take the initiative, he would still passively accept what came to him.

It's not hard to see from this that Maren was also a very normal man.

He naturally likes beautiful women, especially his virtual wife who was originally a two-dimensional character. When she appeared in front of him in real life, he was naturally very moved.

Of course, while he was tempted, Maren wouldn't show it now. That would be too abrupt, not to mention there were so many people watching, including his two concubines.

And there's no rush. Irisviel is still a solo artist, so there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Well, someone who has decided to unleash their true nature has already begun to let loose and is planning to take the initiative.

He had even come up with a reason (excuse): he would say that he was affected by the special magic of the Furnace of Desire.

Those special desires amplify his desires, so there's nothing wrong with him venting his desires in this way, is there?

Well-reasoned and supported by evidence! Logically consistent! Convincing!

As for whether this decision has actually had an impact?

That's hard to say. Even Maren himself might not be entirely sure, since he originally had this idea, but it was suppressed at the time. Plus, the most difficult person to understand is always oneself, making it even harder to draw a conclusion.

Irisviel had no idea that Maren had thought of so much in that instant. After explaining, she asked, "What was Maren about to say?"

Maren snapped back to reality and said with a smile, "Oh, it's nothing really. Just that during tomorrow's operation, you and Lia will coordinate and provide support. But when she decides it's time to attack, remember to use Command Spells to help her."

Now that we know the Lion King has a necessary mission, we should change our plans for her.

Avoid sending the Lion King into battle unless absolutely necessary. Prioritize preserving your fighting strength to ensure she can successfully complete the mission.

Chapter 128 Ti Ma: Home, should we eat first, or...?

And this wouldn't have been possible without the cooperation of Irisviel, the Master.

If the situation is urgent, Irisviel can use Command Spells to assist the Lion King; we should remind her of this to avoid any mistakes.

“Okay, I understand.” Riesl nodded seriously.

"Well, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just follow her instructions when the time comes."

Seeing how serious she was, Ma En couldn't help but worry that she might be overly nervous, so he reassured her.

"Okay, I understand. I'll do my best," Lisfield replied earnestly, clenching her fists and waving them as if to encourage herself.

Irisviel is now somewhat excited that she has finally encountered something she can participate in.

"..."

Ma En was somewhat worried, but seeing how adorable she looked, he didn't say anything more; as long as she was happy.

In any case, it will mainly depend on the Lion King's performance. With such a reliable king to back us up, there shouldn't be any problems.

Mordred, who was standing nearby, suddenly chimed in, raising her hand to ask, "What about me? Do I have any special arrangements?"

Ma En glanced at her and said, "As for you, just go ahead and fight whoever we're fighting. Don't ask so many questions."

Since Mordred had even forgotten about the power of restraint, Marn completely gave up all hope for her and simply let the brat run wild.
