Magician in Type-Moon

This creates two lines.

If Matouike can make up her mind to accept her own "origin", it will mean the failure of the path envisioned by Araya Sōren, thus opening the Beelzebub route.

(Araya Sōren doesn't know the origin of Matou Ike, but as an Origin Magician, he has witnessed too many humans collapse due to Origin Awakening, and he has already shown Matou Ike what humans become after awakening their Origin—Shirai Rio. Therefore, he believes he still has a chance of winning in this matter.)

For Matou Ike, it became a choice between two options.

If you choose to replace "Misaya Hiiro" who is in the "Origin" ritual, you may be controlled by "Origin" and turned into a monster that is neither human nor ghost.

If one chooses to simply let things go, then one will become an eternal record along with all of humanity, flying to the outer reaches of the planet.

Neither of these outcomes is a good one.

But he has to make a choice.

This is a general overview of Araya Sōren.

(Of course, in order to complete this ritual, he also had some negotiations with the Magic Association and the Church of Saints, and made some exchanges on the basis of interests, but the information he revealed was only 'wanting to reach the Root,' just like his conversation with Orange. In some parts, he was always lying.)

......

Mysterious mist and bright moon.

The reason he initially chose to help Araya Sōren was because he wanted to reclaim his part about the future, since he already possessed the present and the past.

This gave him a desire to live.

After Genmu Satsuki lost the battle against Ryougi Shiki and was rescued by Hansa.

He was in a contradictory state, longing to live but also believing that he should die at the hands of Ryougi Shiki, like a living corpse.

From that moment on, he became detached from the whole event because he believed he had already lost.

Therefore, he was willing to hand over his corpse to Araya Sōren for use, and he didn't even care about his own consciousness and soul.

Because he later obtained what he wanted from Araya Souren—the "future".

At this point in time, we can treat him not as a "person," but as an object that can exert magical effects.

This is why Hansa was able to use Genmu Satsuki's consciousness and soul later on.

Because Hansa altered the course of his death, he subsequently became an object belonging to Hansa.

This is his twisted psychology as a magician.

That's why he appeared as an outsider in the subsequent developments.

......

汉萨

As a sanctified and transformed person sent to Guanbuzi City by the Holy Church.

He needs to be viewed from two perspectives.

One is Hanseatic himself, and the other is the part that was sanctified and moved closer to "the Lord".

Believers are subject to God.

When I first met him at Matou Pond, he acted like a clueless, clueless operative.

Because as part of the Hanseatic League, he truly knew nothing.

In the subsequent developments, he suddenly saved Xuanwu Gaoyue.

From the perspectives of Matouike and Ryougi Shiki, this phenomenon makes his behavioral logic somewhat contradictory.

The subsequent intelligence from the Holy Church was intended to mislead Matou Ike on certain matters, so that Matou Ike would both ignore and take seriously the Holy Church's plans.

Therefore, Matou Ike made a true yet erroneous judgment about Hansa's existence and the current state of the Holy Church after they faced each other again.

The truth is that the Church is indeed in a disadvantageous position during the changes in the world.

The erroneous part is the true intention of the Holy Church—"The Lord has abandoned this world, and the Lord wants to destroy this world."

Therefore, Matou Ike concluded that the Holy Church was simply fueling the flames, aiming to gain some benefits.

Of course, this is not only for Matou Ike's eyes, but also a kind of misleading message regarding Araya Souren and Beelzebub.

In this way, the "master's" part of the plan can remain hidden until the very end before it is revealed.

This makes sense.

......

The Magic Association's purpose is quite clear.

Under the guidance of Maris Billy and Hartless, the Mage's Association fights against the world's transformation and the foreseeable collapse of order.

They began actively seeking ways to enhance their military power, which led to their involvement in this incident.

However, the Mage's Association was already divided, especially after the death of the previous Lord El-Melloi and the experiences of his fiancée Solau during the Holy Grail War.

(Information regarding singularities, Lostbelts, and Chaldea)

Therefore, regarding this matter, a certain group of people from the Mage's Association followed up on this matter and went to the Greater Grail.

This led to the final deal between the monarch and the emperor.

......

Finally, there's the confrontation between Matou Ike and Beelzebub in the space of consciousness.

Beelzebub initially prepared "food" for Matouchi because after Matouchi awakened his origin, his consciousness was in a state of "self-collapse".

The reason is that after the "imaginary tree seed" sprouts, it cannot find nutrients and thus withers away.

This food was what Beelzebub needed to stabilize before he could take the Imaginary Tree seed.

But everything has two sides, good and bad. While this "food" stabilized the state of the Imaginary Tree, it also gave Matouchi the possibility of escaping.

But Beelzebub had foreseen this.

That food, imbued with "divinity," became the marker that led Him to begin tracking Matouchi.

As He had envisioned, Matouike escaped into his own memories.

Then came the story of Him chasing him, and him being unable to escape.

Before falling into the first memory, Matouchi divided her consciousness into countless parts, using them as coordinates scattered throughout all the memory fragments.

Its main consciousness then began to use its own memories to fight against Beelzebub's pursuit and to deplete Beelzebub's power.

At this moment, the battlefield was divided into two parts: reality and consciousness space.

These two battlefields are completely unrelated and do not interfere with each other.

Then came the turning point.

After reorganizing the information, Matou Ike discovered a problem regarding the Holy Church.

And they rediscovered the true reasons why the church was so decadent.

Thus, they arrived at the part of Hanseatic League's memory and obtained a conceptual ceremonial item called "The Passion of Christ".

That is, the "cross".

However, Matouchi's conclusion, based on the previous information, was—

If this "cross" is used, one may gain the power to fight Beelzebub, and even if one succeeds by luck...

But as a believer, he will also develop a personality similar to Saint Hansa, one that moves closer to the "Lord".

So the best outcome would mean that he survived.

But when we reach that important juncture ten years from now, that is, the juncture after the end of the "daydream period".

He will no longer be able to change the future, because he is the possession of "the Lord".

This is the reward that "the Lord" gave him.

A decade of ideal life, then a peaceful end.

(Matouchi knows that this world is something discarded by Pan-Human History, something that was originally dead, but was briefly brought back to life due to the actions of a certain emperor. Humanity and God both chose Pan-Human History, which was already confirmed to survive. Therefore, according to God's attitude, this world that might pose a threat to Pan-Human History should be destroyed. But God is "merciful," willing to grant this world a final ten years of peace; that's the gist of it, disregarding the details.)

(Furthermore, if Matou Ike hadn't chosen to use the "cross," Beelzebub would have succeeded, and he wouldn't have even had those last ten years.)

(This is the choice and trap God gave him, because after obtaining this cross, the difficulty for Matouchi to escape Beelzebub's pursuit increases exponentially, forcing Matouchi to make a choice.)

After that, Matou Ike quickly realized this point in a very short time and began to design how to use the connection between this world and pan-human history to force a change in attitude towards human reason and God.

That's the general idea; explaining it in detail would be too difficult...

Hmm... that's fine!

Then I'll start updating the next volume tomorrow.

Chapter 367 The Grand Order Decision (4k chapters prior)

For Olga Marie Asmirette Animusfia, London gave her a strong impression of being a foreign place.

Her lineage—the territory of Animusfia—was originally situated in the highlands and mountains, not in cities.

Although I occasionally descend the mountain to have contact with the London Clock Tower headquarters like this, the feeling of unease is still hard to shake off.

Whether it's the large number of people in the city, the dense buildings, or the constant horseback riding or car travel throughout the day, these are all just factors that are difficult for her to adapt to.

However, she doesn't feel any sense of closeness to her hometown.

Her father, Maris Billy, who is currently in charge of the business, almost never leaves his workshop, resulting in the two of them meeting only a handful of times a year.

Therefore, in her eyes, humans are lonely creatures.

Being chosen as a magician means that solitude and isolation are to be expected, and one should accept them.

Originally, as the monarch's agent for the Department of Astronomy, she was always assigned the task of handling affairs between the Department of Astronomy and the Clock Tower.

Despite seemingly wielding great power, he has always been excluded from the Animusfia family's core research.

Her father seemed to have no expectations of her either, and she believed that as long as she lived like this, maybe one day things would turn around.

But this reversal came too suddenly—

A month ago, my father, who had been under the supervision of the Magicians Association and was the current monarch of the Celestial Science Department, Marisbury Animusfia, disappeared.

The Grand Order decision just happened to occur at this time.
