Chapter 410: Molder

"Don't you want to understand things about this world?"

Gil seemed to have truly seen through Kanzaki Hikaru's heart, even though his tone was very casual.

But it is indeed moving steadily forward, getting closer and closer to Kanzaki Teru's heart step by step.

"Alright, since you want to talk, I'll chat with you then."

He sighed as if giving up, after all, the person in front of him was different from his appearance, and his inner self was more mature than Kanzaki Hui had imagined.

Such a simple excuse is unlikely to fool anyone, especially since this person does indeed possess some special abilities.

Furthermore, since Kanzaki Hikaru has just arrived in this parallel universe, the information available is overwhelmingly scarce, which makes this a good way to obtain intelligence.

"So, are you admitting that you come from another world?"

"Before we go on, let me ask you this: why do you think this way?"

After all, the other party doesn't seem to be making wild guesses, which means they must have some theoretical basis for their claims.

Knowing this, Kanzaki Teru might be able to change something.

"It's nothing, after all, this world has already figured out how to travel to parallel worlds."

After all, in this world on the verge of collapse, everyone is doing their best to find a way to survive.

Humans are really interesting; one or two of them are just like that.

"Honkai? This world? I've noticed some anomalies, but has it really reached this level?"

"You really don't know anything. I suppose your world must be very peaceful, and there's no one who could endanger your life."

So how could you possibly understand that you can live such an easy life every day? (Group)

You're saying I... have an easy life?

Although somewhat angry, Kanzaki Teru managed to suppress his impulsive emotions. 7

"Do you know what month it is now?"

"At this temperature, it should be around December."

It's already this cold, after all. Although it's different from what I've always known, this must be Japan in a parallel universe. 2

"Unfortunately, although it's close, it's completely wrong. It's only October now."

"How is this possible! Can it really be this cold in October!?"

Hearing Gil's words, Kanzaki Teru instinctively uttered a question, but in his heart, he already knew the answer.

After all, the other party had no reason to lie to him, and besides, judging from the calendar hanging on the wall of the shop, it was only October 17th.

"This is what I mean by the collapse of the world; this planet can no longer support humanity."

With a self-deprecating smile on her face, Jill's udon noodles finally arrived.

He continued chatting with Kanzaki Teru while enjoying his meal.

"Although the exact reason is unknown, the planet's orbital speed has decreased significantly."

As the moon and sun gradually move away from Earth, this leads to a large number of abnormal weather events.

However, if that's all there is to it, then it's alright, since humanity still has a certain ability to withstand natural disasters of this magnitude.

But the problems that followed were the true signs of an apocalypse.

Although Jill spoke of it very casually, this was by no means an easy topic.

·· ···Request flowers······

Kanzaki Teru hasn't forgotten those monsters still lying at the door; if he could just step outside and run into them...

Compared to the fact that most people are killed without any ability to resist, this is a bit too cruel.

When did this situation begin?

"Time... Although time has become a useless thing in this world, if we follow the traditional method of timekeeping..."

This collapse... must have started about five years ago.

........ ..... 0

Five years ago?

Is this a coincidence? But it seems a bit too much of a coincidence.

Kanzaki Teru gained his powers and became aware of the world's anomalies five years ago.

The collapse of this world also occurred five years ago, and there must be some connection between them.

This thought unconsciously came to Kanzaki Teru's mind.

"After that, the people of this world began to search for a way to be saved, but in the face of such a natural disaster, the power of mankind was really weak."

He raised his chin, gesturing for Kanzaki Teru to look outside the door.

Before anyone knew it, several more of that monster's corpses appeared at the entrance.

"Monsters like this appeared out of nowhere and are now found all over the world."

And it seems there's more than just one type; there are flying monsters, running monsters, all sorts of monsters—humans are completely defenseless against them.

Jill took a sip of noodles and made a satisfied sound.

"Among these monsters, there are special individuals that seem to possess intelligence, constantly encroaching on human habitats," Xi said.

Chapter 411: Forever

Seeing how much he was enjoying himself, Kanzaki Teru recalled the scene when he was eating ramen earlier.

He can still feel a burning pain in his tongue.

"Some of these individuals, though eliminated, will reappear after a period of time."

Moreover, this is not the most crucial issue. The most crucial issue is that among this group of monsters are ten extremely powerful monsters known as "Permanent".

These individuals appear and disappear without a trace, and their mere presence can lead to the destruction of a city.

However, the name "850" is just a self-designation they use.

"What is the title you give yourself?"

"That's right. Five years ago, all the heads of state received a message at the same time."

The above message basically says, "We are permanent and will destroy you humans," which is rather baffling.

However, despite saying this, Jill showed no sign of worry about this crisis concerning the survival of humanity.

It was as if all of this had nothing to do with him, making it really hard to figure out what he was thinking.

"And just as they said, the world began to gradually collapse, and monsters kept appearing. Now, monsters of that level can be seen everywhere."

Jill pointed with her chopsticks at the monster outside the door, her tone heavy with concern.

It's completely unexpected that such a young boy could say such things.

"In order to survive, humans began to study various aspects. Fortunately, humans had already begun to study some things before, so they created two effective methods to resist these monsters."

Jill extended one of the fingers and slowly pointed it at herself.

"The first method is to use the Holy Grail War of the ancient magic families to summon the warriors to this world."

However, this method consumes far too much magic power and may summon unruly Servants, making it a completely counterproductive approach.

Therefore, based on this, humanity developed a second method, which was more practical and more convenient: [Dream Summoning].

"Dream Summoning? What kind of ability is that?"

When Kanzaki Hikaru heard this, it seemed that he had this part of his memory in his mind, and it seemed that Ilya had also mentioned this.

"The Ainsworth family possesses a special kind of magic called displacement magic, which allows them to cover anything onto other things."

Abilities, weapons... even—life itself—so the servants' abilities are sealed into cards in this way.

Then, by summoning, the abilities of the Servants residing within the cards are transferred to the user. This is how most mages now resist natural disasters.

The idea that if you can't rely on others, then rely on yourself is both too grand, too lofty, and too naive.

"But ultimately, this is only the first method, so what exactly is the other method?"

"The other method is simpler and more direct: to resist through technological means..."

However, this technology is somewhat crooked and unorthodox, even abandoning the fundamental principles of being human.

"what do you mean?"

For some reason, Kanzaki Teru didn't feel anything amiss when Jill said those words about the fundamental nature of being human.

"In essence, it involves analyzing these monsters and then creating enhanced armor to give humans some of the monsters' abilities."

"Have we been forced to this point?"

After hearing what Gil had to say, Kanzaki Teru felt incredibly heavy-hearted.

Although my own world is by no means peaceful, it is definitely much better than this place.

"But... I remember you just mentioned something about parallel worlds, right?"

Recalling what Gil had said when they first met, Kanzaki Hikaru's eyes narrowed slightly.

After all, if they had the means to travel to other parallel worlds, why would they, 5.1, still stay in this place?

"Well, that's true, but this research is still very unstable. After all, if an ordinary person passes through the [gate], they will be instantly decomposed."

"An incomplete study?"

"In fact, this technology uses Kerr black holes for transfer, which means that one kilogram of mass needs to be compressed into one cubic meter of mass one ten-fifty-seventh power before it can be transferred."

Achieving this level of compression is simply impossible for the human body to withstand, ultimately leading to disintegration.

Chapter 412: World War III

Although there were some things that Kanzaki Teru didn't quite understand, the only thing he understood was that the experiment had failed.

"And what about you? With your strength, you should be able to pass through easily, right? Don't you have that thought?"

However, I think even if you had such an idea, you wouldn't easily put it into practice; that's just the kind of person you are.
