Volume 12: The Traveler's Base Chapter 006: Protection and Power
Emiya was actually very aware of Mai Shiranui's exclamation.
In fact, it was basically the same when he first watched Kengan Ashura.
At first, he thought that Juukijima Ouma would fight to the end and make a comeback, but in fact he lost to Kuroki Gensai, which made the Anti-Demon Spear famous.
At the same time, Kengan Ashura was changed to Kengan Magic Gunden.
This is incredible.
But at the same time, many people also think that this ending is very reasonable. After all, Juu Kijima Ouma was already covered in wounds in the end.
It was impossible to defeat Kuroki Gensai, so being defeated was a matter of course.
Shizuka Hiratsuka: "Let's stop talking about this topic. Let's talk about my world first. I always feel like there's something wrong with my world."
Emiya: "Yes, from what I can see so far, the world you live in is a mixture of school, fighting, time travel and other elements, and even has a bit of fantasy. Maybe there are more elements hidden in it, but we just haven't discovered it yet."
Mai Shiranui: "If you just look at the surface, there is indeed something wrong with your world."
Hiratsuka Shizuka: “Why did it become like this?”
Emiya: "You ask me, who should I ask?"
Loki: "Don't worry, your world is just a little more complicated. There's nothing to worry about with a few more travelers. After they travel to another world, most of them can't come back anyway."
Hiratsuka Shizuka thought about it carefully and said, "Well, that's true."
Loki: "I am actually very interested in these other worlds."
Emiya: "Coincidentally, I am just like you. I am also very interested in these different worlds."
Luo Cuilian: "Me too, I am also very interested in the other world."
Emiya: "I see you are very interested in the gods of other worlds."
Luo Cuilian: “You can say that.”
Emiya: "Then you will be disappointed, because there are actually fewer other worlds with gods than you think."
For example, regarding my reincarnation as a slime, although there are demon kings in this world, there are no gods.
For example, in Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World, there are witches, but no gods.
Or maybe it's the world of Zero's Familiar, where there are no gods either.
Luo Cuilian: "I know, but it doesn't matter, I will meet you eventually, I can wait."
Loki: "By the way, Emiya-kun, you have found so many time travelers, which different world are you interested in?"
Emiya: "At the moment, I'm interested in three different worlds."
Loki: "Oh, which three worlds?"
Emiya: "Re:Zero -Starting Life in a Different World, The Undead King, and Problem Children all come from another world."
Loki: "I see. However, among these three, it seems that the protagonists of the last two are not in this world."
Emiya nodded. "Not necessarily. When I checked just now, I found that the problem children all came from another world. The three protagonists, Izayoi Sakamaki, Asuka Kuon, and Kasukabe Yō are definitely not in this world, but the King of the Undead may not be."
Loki: "What does this mean?"
Emiya: "The protagonist of Undead King, Ainz Ooal Gown, was called Suzuki Satoru before he traveled through time. He lived in the future world, an era when holographic projection games were quite advanced."
Loki: "I see. You mean, in a few decades, this Suzuki Satoru might be born into this world?"
Emiya: “That’s a possibility.”
Toosaka Rin: "I have a question. You are interested in the Undead King because of the magic of that world, or because of the world-class props of that world. You are interested in Problem Children because there are gods in that world, but there should be nothing in Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World that interests you."
Emiya: “Of course.”
Toosaka Rin: "What is it, Reinhardt's sword? Or Echidna's book of wisdom? Or her knowledge?"
Emiya: "You underestimate me. I am not interested in what you say. There are only two things that really interest me."
Toosaka Rin was a little curious: "What are those two?"
Emiya responded decisively, "Rem and Ram."
Toosaka Rin: "...I almost forgot that you are also an LSP. I didn't expect you to be interested in these two things."
Emiya: "Haha, it's just a joke, Ram and Rem are nothing."
Toosaka Rin was stunned for a moment.
Mai Shiranui: "So what are the two things you mentioned?"
Emiya: "Protection and power, these two things interest me very much."
Loki: "I see. Protection and power are indeed two very interesting things."
Emiya knew of at least hundreds of different worlds, but the number of worlds with protection was pitifully small.
Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World is such a world.
The so-called protection is actually a kind of Buff.
The one who bestowed this protection was Odd Ragnar.
The source of the world's magic power, the place where life returns after death. Souls with a strong longing for reality will become phantoms equivalent to what Japan calls ghosts. It is the source of protection and magic power.
Of course, this privilege is limited to the natives of this world.
There is no way for outsiders to obtain protection.
For example, after Natsuki entered this Re:Zero world, he has not received any protection.
Of course, even among the natives of World Zero, not everyone can obtain the Divine Protection.
About one in a hundred people have a protection that they don't use or can't use.
Only one person in a thousand has a useful or usable blessing.
And one in ten thousand people possesses a rare blessing.
One in a hundred thousand people has a very useful or convenient protection.
One in a million people possesses the only protection in the world.
And the person who can use multiple protections is only one in ten million people.
For example, Roswaal possesses the blessing of magic and can achieve the highest achievements in magic.
Ram possesses the blessing of clairvoyance, and can use the vision of surrounding creatures when their frequencies are synchronized with her own.
The Dragon Witch Crusch possesses the Divine Protection of Wind, and can judge whether the opponent is lying by the wind flowing around the opponent. Combined with the Karlsten family's unique skill "One Hundred Swords", she can release powerful sword energy.
Each one is a very practical protection.
But these protections are nothing compared to the Sword Saint Reinhard.
Because Reinhard is the largest hanging wall in the world, it possesses more than forty kinds of protection, including even the super unreasonable protection of the Phoenix, the protection of the night, the protection of the dawn, and the protection of the acquired.
The Phoenix Blessing allows one to be resurrected after death and obtain the ability to "Continue the Phoenix's Blessing".
The Protection of Night has the ability to become stronger at night.
The blessing of the morning light has the blessing of becoming stronger in the morning.
This is simply too much.
This is not how you cheat, even Gawain, the Knight of the Round Table in the Fate world, only has three times the combat power during the day, which declines at night.
However, Reinhard's strength will be enhanced whether he is in the daytime or in the omnipotence.
What is even more terrifying is the acquired protection.
This means that Reinhard can obtain any protection he wants.
It is no wonder that many people are complaining that Reinhard is the biological son of this world. This treatment is basically no different from that of a biological son.
This is also the reason why Reinhard became the strongest swordsman and the most powerful fighter in the world of Re:Zero .
Even the jealous witch Shatira, who once devoured half of the world, could not defeat Reinhard.
So Emiya is very interested in the protection.
As for the power...it is actually the ability born from the combination of human and witch genes.
The witch factor is actually the opposite of the root of the world "Odd Ragnar" .
Different people will gain different powers when they obtain the same witch factor.
More importantly, the priority of power is higher than that of protection. There is no protection that can overcome the effect of power. There is also no protection that can see through the specific effect of power.
Moreover, power and protection cannot exist at the same time. The person who obtains power will lose the protection he previously possessed.
There are only a few powers that appear in the plot.
For example, Nayuki Takashi's return from death, Betelgeux Romanee-Conti's invisible hand, Regulus Cornias's lion's heart, etc.
Compared to the protection, it is pitifully small.
However, Emiya's interest in power is even greater than that in protection.
After all, power has priority over protection, so of course it would arouse Emiya's interest.
So since Emiya knew about Natsuki's existence, he planned to find Natsuki and follow him to sneak into the world of Re:Zero.
It's just that the time is not right yet.
Loki: "Actually, I am also quite interested in Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World, but I am not interested in the protection and power. I am more interested in the witch factor. This thing is very interesting."
Toosaka Rin: "I just checked and I'm also very interested in the Witch Factor. When this thing is combined with humans, it can give birth to power. What's even more terrifying is that the power that is born can even affect the world."
Toosaka Rin: "So I think the witch factor should be as powerful as divine power."
Loki: "Well, if you put it that way, I can't refute it. After all, the Witch of Envy did devour half of the world."
Medusa: "I am not interested in the alternate world of Re:Zero. I am more interested in the fact that the problem children all come from an alternate world."
Emiya: "Come to think of it, there is also Medusa in the Problem Child World, so do you want to embark on the path of unity among all the heavens?"
To put it bluntly, it means killing all the selves in the parallel worlds, and then absorbing their power to become the only Medusa in the universe.
By then, Medusa's strength will be strong enough to reach the multiverse level.
Even creating a universe is not a difficult thing.
Medusa: "I'm not interested. There are too many Medusas in the universe. There are countless Medusas in the Type-Moon world alone. It's not easy to kill them all."
