Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Or the beginnings of a new plan.
After the chat, Zig had more problems.
First of all, Zig has to choose which path he will develop. The chat offers great opportunities, but it also makes demands, this primarily concerns the store, because everything in it is just a copy of the original. Therefore, it is beneficial for all participants in the chat if their members develop in terms of skills and strength, since they themselves can then become stronger by simply copying these skills, magic or bloodline.
And fully aware of the world he is in, Sieg benefits from having friends who won't let him down if something happens. This is a lunar world, not every relative can be trusted here. And this is one of the many branches of the Fate series , not Tsukihime , because there are Holy Grail Wars, and if there are such disgusting things, then Sieg's chance of becoming a master is high.
He's not so cocky as to assume that he's the only one and unique just because he was reincarnated from another world/universe. Saeko / Rimuru's Cardinal World is like that too, but it's so common for reincarnators to end up there that the locals have started to just use that mechanic, and his home world of Fate has a servant class called Foreigners . It's literally a one-on-one hit.
And no matter how much of an individualist Sieg was before, he is still a part of humanity, and therefore his information is in Alaya , and she can, with the help of the Third True One, forge his doubles in her worlds until she loses her pulse. Consequently, Sieg himself can be "another experiment" that can be sent to the Holy Grail War to give the necessary stimulus for development, like the same Shirou or Kiritsugu. Asashinu . Alaya already has experience , so it's quite possible.
And therefore, being in such a dangerous world, Sieg is better off having good rear and powerful friends who will help him in the battle against the servants. Yes, he himself will be strong enough by that time to kick the ass of almost anyone, be it Hercules or Artoria , simply due to superior speed and deadly blows, and there will be another servant, but...
Conditional Medea vs. Gilgamesh?
It's better not to rely on servants too much.
In the case of "strongest friend", the priority target in the short term is Esdeath , since she is currently the strongest in the chat together with him.
In a simple perspective - Mio, since she has very, very impressive potential, at the same time, she is the easiest to help. All that is required is to protect her parents, and then there will be a fork, which will most likely lead to the fact that her parents will persuade Mio to go with them to the Demon Realm, which is a bad ending for Mio, Mio herself is well aware of this, fortunately, Sieg exaggerated a little in the right places, and because he exaggerated them a little, Maria confirmed them. In the best case, Mio will part ways with her parents as good friends, in the worst case, they will have to be eliminated. In another development of events, Mio 's parents are simply incredible actors and played their role, which is also a dead end since it leads to the same choice. The third branch is that her parents will choose the side of their daughter, and not their master, which is not much different from the first one analyzed.
And after this "final" Mio will actually be left alone, after which she will still have to go somewhere and live somewhere. Zig bets 70% that Mio will go with him, since he will be her main motivator and assistant/savior. All Zig needs to do for this outcome is to show himself as a reliable, reasonable and balanced person who will be stronger than her. If this all also falls on favorable ground in the form of the fact that the average level of power in his world is significantly lower than in her native one . Which also reduces the risks to almost zero if simple requirements are met, such as the same training and the secret of magic.
Sieg also puts 15~20% that Mio will go to Rias , who will beckon to her as a servant, which immediately, due to the simple name, reduces the chances of Mio's consent many times. Fortunately, Sieg knows that Rias is not behaving very smartly now, at least purely because she goes to school, which, given the similarity of their situations, will only cause rejection in Mio. It is also worth remembering that the average level there is generally higher, and in the foreseeable future, a fight against terrorists who want to destroy the world will begin there.
This is , to put it mildly, not a very attractive place as a new home, and also for the official role of a servant/slave, who can simply be sold. Not to mention that from Mio 's point of view , the material support of Rias and Sieg is more or less equal, both are spendthrifts, the only difference is that the second is busy with himself, his research, giving you freedom of action, optionally making you stronger (after all, magic in general and concepts in the Fate world are simply stronger), so Sieg also knows exactly Mio 's strengths and weaknesses , as well as how exactly she needs to be trained. Mio read shonen manga , and they love training arcs.
Another option with a probability of 15~10% is that Mio will go to other chat participants. However, Saeko's world is too dangerous to move to now, and it is too dependent on the situation in any confrontation due to skills, and it is still unclear whether the Voice of the World will consider Mio its resident or not. He saw Saeko and other immigrants as they came to their current one, but with the chat there may be... Incidents.
The probability is low.
Esdeath's world is basically a pre-industrial era, and she also has a revolution coming up with opposition in the form of very formidable opponents. The battles there will be to the death, so it is unlikely that yesterday's schoolgirl will decide to go there.
Kazuma's world is an unknown roulette, so that's also a failure.
The world of Alabama is similar, only we also need to take into account that Alabama itself is in a somewhat inadequate state. Which immediately reduces the chances.
Well, the most unlikely scenario is that Mio will ask Maria to help her. The outcome is the same as with the parents' option, probably even worse, because Sheila will be next to Maria , and she is a supporter of the moderate faction. She was also a pretty serious and convinced woman in history, who was not afraid to send a real schoolboy. Who does not know how to use his demonic nature against a real, mother of him, demon lord, who simply cannot be defeated without a demonic nature. It becomes even funnier when the day before her own daughter was beaten, adding a comment about how stupid it is to rely on uncontrolled force against at least somewhat strong and experienced opponent. And the demon lord somehow outlived the citizen.
It follows that until Sieg accidentally admits that he knows the plot of this world, which can be dozens of times worse than the same world of Rias , does not behave stupidly, does not shoot himself in the foot, Mio is already in his pocket. All he needs is not to be stupid at the most crucial moment. However, before that moment he still needs to level up.
WITH Fullbringer's physical characteristics and powers are clear enough. Sieg strongly doubts that Zolgir is stronger than a captain level like his world's Byakuya , after all, he was killed by Es Nod in the first confrontation with his own Bankai .
And therefore Zolgir will fly off from Hadou #90 or Hadou #99 with a full reading in the face. Well, or kidou , which kills using the target's own Reiatsu . Sieg spent over 90 years pestering Urahara for a reason. His body will withstand one or two uses at full strength.
- So, we'll swing solo...
Zig understands very well how extensive the influence of Gaia and Alaya is, it is everywhere, it is very rare that one can bypass their influence, and even then, only in cases where large masses of people are involved, such as holy sacraments (which, due to their numbers, are still controlled by Alaya ) or unique cases with specific circumstances, such as source and element (which are then used by Alaya for its own purposes).
Next, you need to choose the path that Zig will have to follow as a magician.
No one would believe that a 6-year-old child would, purely by chance, independently come up with such a magical system that would not only be stable and constant regardless of circumstances, but would also make Sigmund strong enough in the short term. However, to throw aside the power of fullbringer / Hollow / Shinigami is just stupid. Fullbringer has incredible control over the material and spiritual world around him, simply because he literally bends the souls around him to his will. With souls of living beings can also use this, but with reservations. Shinigami's power is in their Kido , which can do anything, you just need to have enough control, know the principles of constructing the Kido themselves and enough time to practice. Well, Hollow has a simply monstrous level in space manipulation. Literally all of their techniques, except for Sero, Bala and Iero , are techniques that affect space. And they also have a high level of soul absorption due to their nature. This is an indispensable skill for someone like Saeko , since in her world, to become a demon lord, you need to absorb souls. If the Voice of the World accepts him as part of itself, as well as Saeko , then Sieg swears to himself that he will use this mechanic until he's blue in the face.
But he can't tell his family all this, can he?
Therefore, he needs to develop as a Nasuverse mage .
Zig immediately rejected the idea of using spiritual healing or any other applied medical topic as a basis, with the exception of alchemy and the creation of homunculi.
First of all, Sieg needs to show good results in practice in order to get his own workshop as soon as possible. If his memory serves him right, around the same time, Rin already got access to her father's workshop. If things go really bad, he will reveal the existence of Kido and even fullbringer , but this is an option for when things go really bad and he urgently needs to save Mio 's ass . Of course, for this case, he will first need to get access to Spiritual Awakening and the summoning ritual itself, after which he will be able to dump all the dogs on Mio , like she is his familiar .
Yes, Zig himself will get the full program, but if he then shows good results in the "result" of communicating with Mio , then his parents reduce their control over him. Anyway, he spends most of his time either alone in the library under the approving gaze of his mother, or studies with her.
However, in this case, Zig will have to try hard to show a good result.
And the easiest place where he can cheat is Alchemy, since it has many, many directions. This includes Alchemy itself, which is aimed at gaining control over bodies, life and souls, and turning lead into gold is a pleasant side effect. This is exactly what was written in the teachings of Circe, which reached Sieg himself, or rather in those things and scrolls that the Sieg family took with them. And Sieg already studied them with the help of the Book of the End. It was a very interesting immersion lasting a couple of thousand years, and also gave a lot of practical experience in the alchemy of the times of ancient Greece.
Zig has never made a secret of the fact that fullbringer is a fucking console that he uses to its fullest .
It is because of this that Zig is at least somewhat confident that he will have the opportunity to escape from his mother's control, since he himself is not sure that she can teach him anything except the magic of the Runes, which Zig is not particularly interested in. First of all, because the power of these Runes depends on their meaning and the power of the world itself. They definitely work here, but what if in the world of the same M io there are similar signs with a different meaning? This is why Zig decided to completely trust more detailed and complex processes than learning a language.
Alchemy has several subtypes. The first Alchemy is responsible for the transformation of matter, not only minerals, but also the transformation of the state of matter: aggregate states or conceptual forms that do not even exist in this world. This also includes ether and Galvanism. Therefore, if Sieg receives any source of energy, he can theoretically transform it into magic for himself. Only for this you will need to have another type of alchemy: Flow and transmission of energy and information.
the Einzbern homunculi also relates to the transformation of matter . And also transmutation .
The second "branch" of alchemy is the transformation of events. I did not receive an exact "method", except for particularly sophisticated mental magic, but the rest is a prediction of the future, which is not clear to me without any conventions.
Third branch: Flow and transmission of energy and information. A very specific name, which speaks for itself. I will not pretend to be stupid , after all branches of alchemy literally scream "information needed!" It is not for nothing that the Einzberns are alchemists, right?
Fourth branch: gem magic and mineralogy. Edelfelt and Tohsaka speak for themselves here.
The fifth branch: healing magic, this is literally thaumaturia , which is used by the Einzberns . Spiritual healing belongs here too, only it is not the body that is healed, but the soul.
The sixth branch: reincarnation and immortality, since here they either play with the body through thaumaturgy , or through the flow and transmission of information they transfer their soul to other bodies.
Remembering the most outstanding figures of alchemists, one certainly remembers the owner of the third true, who was an alchemist before receiving Magic. The third true magic, it is also Materialization of the soul. Again the soul, again immortality, again energy, again information.
And it must be said that even being a spiritually developed being like fullbringer , Zig has no idea how exactly this can be done without anything. So he spent a year collecting information and making theories. There were many of them, but he based all the theories around the Third Truth.
Who was the first possessor of the Third Magic is unknown, but the next was Justeaze Lizreich von Einzbern , who was a homunculus that was supposed to be a copy of their teacher, capable of reproducing the Third Magic. But homunculi did not have the soul that could be materialized with the help of the Third, and Justeaze, although almost identical, had shortcomings that prevented her from becoming a full-fledged True Magician. This failure led to the death of people, and homunculi began to continue their work in an attempt to obtain the genuine Third. The Third True Magic itself gives immortality and an unlimited source of energy due to the fact that the soul becomes an analogue of a perpetual motion machine.
Having said what is known, it is worthwhile to begin analyzing the current True Magic, saying what may be hidden behind them. From the previous words, an understanding of what True Magic is, which lies beyond the capabilities of humans, has emerged. Time travel, resurrection, creating something from nothing, these are truly amazing abilities that must be matched.
That's right, isn't it?
No, all three are actually what almost every, if not all five, True Magic can do. We should start with the Third, which plays the biggest role in Fate , one of the plots. The First can resurrect, which only says more about its user, as can the Second and Fifth, not just the Third. It's not like one True Magic can operate in the same area as the others. Of course, one could argue that the Third's true area is Soul…
And this will be a mistake again.
Each True Magic has its core, a single concept that is the key to making that Magic True. In the case of Blue, as the Fifth is called, it is Time, which is logical. Time is one of the fundamental principles of reality, along with Matter and Space, and humanity has yet to conquer it. But the truth is that the core of Blue is consumption/disappearance, which is how Aoko can travel through time. And because the heat in the universe changes thanks to this Magic, the end of the universe is accelerating…
In the case of Heaven's Touch, the core is not the Soul, its materialization is just a byproduct. Of course, humanity has not yet proven the existence of the Soul, except for the Moon Cell line, so such an area may seem correct, but it is only a deception. The real core of the Third is…
Information.
Strangely, this is what Sieg came to after his long reasoning, and with several examples. He also hypothetically revealed what caused the disappearance of the User of the Third, why Justicia was unable to fully achieve it, why the Einzberns are only moving away from Heaven's Feel, what the Third Magic is capable of, what happened to Magic in other worlds, and who could inherit it.
The Soul in Nasuverse is not an abstract concept that may or may not exist. In fact, the Soul is the most important part of living beings, containing information about the body , memory, mind, magical chains, and being of different qualities. The body is only a vessel, the reason why the Soul can be in the world without being drawn into Akasha , and if the vessel is replaced, the Soul will begin to deteriorate. Also, a person has a Source, the beginning of his essence, which somehow flowed out of Akasha and took material form. The Akashic Chronicles are the Source of this Being, where everything came from and where everything will return, the repository of all Information. Information that can leave Akasha and take form, but which is pulled back. That is, although the Soul is the most important part for the living, but it is 1, even it has its own beginning, its own 0, and it is Information.
This is what the Creator of the Third should have understood, in his search for reaching the Source, he probably began to study Souls, but at some point he reached the point where he knew the Truth. Although it is of course possible that he initially sought Information, understanding that since Akasha is a repository of all Knowledge, then having gained control over such a fundamental principle as Information, he will be able to get closer to it. Both options have the right to exist. He gained power close to limited omnipotence, an unlimited source of energy, immortality, but probably did not calculate his capabilities and as a result ... He ceased to exist. Not died, but ceased.
What was the reason why Justicia could not implement it, at the level of her predecessor, and the Einzberns lost her forever? If the Creator could resurrect a person in a couple of seconds, then Justicia spent several years on it.
The thing is, she is a homunculus, an artificial life form created by alchemy, but no matter how similar they are to humans, homunculi are still homunculi, they do not have a Soul like humans, they are magic circuits that have been given the shape of a human. The reason why she could not resurrect is also effective, simple. It is like asking a blind person to describe colors, the same with her, she , who does not have a True Soul, cannot understand how to restore them, no matter how you explain it to her, especially since she does not evolve, living life as one day.
The Einzberns were originally humans, followers of the Third Magic User, but after his disappearance, perceived as death, they decided to obtain Magic through homunculi. They believed that if they created a perfect copy, they would be able to obtain Magic, but in the end, they backed themselves into a corner. Even Justicia, she is an exception to the rule, a mistake that cannot be repeated, the Einzberns who realized this gave up on further life, and their creations began to continue their work. A work that they will never finish.
So why was Justicia able to obtain at least a weakened, but still True Magic, not a cut version like the others? Let's turn to the manga Thawed Blood: Nightmare Alley, which very well shows what alchemists are capable of using Information. A mockery of the Einzberns . Sialim Eltnam Rey- Atlasia , the new director of Atlas, and most likely the last. In an effort to solve the problem that humanity will face, she decided to turn to Sion Eltnam Atlasia , through simulations. After gathering all the available Information about Sion, she created an exact copy of her, but something happened that went beyond all expectations. Sion was not a simulation, but became "real", literally Sion synchronized with this simulation and became it. And this also happened to Emiya , who synchronized with his Archer version during the Holy Grail War.
A chance that was incredibly small, the summoning of a historical figure through the flow of time, like magic... Confirmed by Arcueid - Earth Archetype.
Doesn't this remind you of anything?
But during these simulations, Zion passed through different versions of the world... Traveling through parallel worlds? And the most ironic thing is that one Animusphere played a role in this .
Of course, this is not the only example. The Holy Grail War, in which Servants are summoned, who are not just Souls, they are Information collected from the world and given form. But there are not only Servants who lived in reality, but various "fictions" that should not have a soul, but they can still be summoned. Not because there is a Soul, but because there is Information. And the doll body created by Toko could contain Shirou's Soul , preventing it from deteriorating and recognizing the new container as suitable.
There is an interesting thought about Touko . She is able to create doll bodies that are an exact copy of her own. And if one body is killed, she will wake up in another, and perhaps she has eternal youth. Francesca Prelati suggests that she has achieved some form of the Third, and her situation is similar to what happened to Sion. All the Information she has accumulated is transferred to the doll, thus forming a Soul. Of course, this is not a full-fledged Heaven's Feel, but it is already a serious step towards her, which is further proof that she may be Emiya's mother. Shiro : Aozaki are still geniuses.
However, this simply shows that perfect copying will not lead Zig to receiving the Third True, another "key" must be obtained.
If you ask any person familiar with True Magic and Fate what kind of Magic Emiya is predisposed to Shirou , then probably everyone will say, the First. And it is not surprising, because it was so in the novel, it was assumed that his magic is a limited version of the First, which in theory is responsible for creating everything from scratch, which is exactly possible for Shirou . But now that we know what the Core of the Third is, we can understand the truth.
With his analysis, Shirou studies the object, literally every element, collecting all the available information about it, and then materializes it, similar to how the Third User materialized the Soul. That is, the Creator could also create a Noble Phantasm , which, given his limitless energy, would be no better than Shirou 's .
The Einzberns , the one you turned Ilya against, have done in a limited edition what you have been dreaming of doing for hundreds of years!
So, Heaven's Touch is so omnipotent and can create literally everything?
No, of course, there are limitations, and the most obvious one is that he cannot create a new one. A copy, because even True Resurrection is beyond the capabilities of Magic. That is, he can bring the soul of the dead back to life in a few seconds, but he cannot create a new life, no matter how hard he tries. After all, there is no Information about it, and it is not enough to just get a description, the Information must be significant. In the same way, a Servant who was not in this world cannot be summoned. But if you give the Third the opportunity to connect to the Second or something similar, then this will become possible. Summon versions of Servants that existed only in other worlds.
There is also a huge amount of information that confirms what was said. Moon Cell and Great Order, where Heaven's Feel disappeared as True Magic, and in the second we have to say thanks to Marisbury . He is truly a Genius, even by Genius standards, because he managed to achieve this even without the Holy Grail.
It seems like it's become normal to humiliate the Einzberns .
But if the Moon Cell is known, then why would it be like that in the world of the Great Order, besides the fact that there is a FATE system that allows the summoning of Servants and even Divine Spirits, something that the Holy Grail could not do? The summoning of the Alters, the Summer Servants, Chaldea was able to summon Romulus- Quirinus , having managed to obtain his data. Simulator, which was an advanced virtual reality system that can create a perfect copy of space. LAPLACE, which can show the past. SHEBA , which can see the Future, and the Third showed the Future, as we know. CHALDEUS, which was a copy of the planet and was mentioned as a way to reach the Origin.
All of these can of course be taken as items with the effect of True Magic, so they don't count. But there is one more thing, which is the revelation of one of the Third's abilities, and the assumption that caused the disappearance of the Creator of Heaven's Feel.
Rayshift .
Yes, time travel is not carried out with the help of Blue. The Chaldean sorcery system is based on the manipulation of Information, which is the core of the Third. Rayshift itself is a mixture of time travel and parallel worlds, projecting a person onto another timeline, which is not necessary. The transfer is carried out in the form of spiriton -information, therefore it requires knowledge of each parameter. And mandatory observation is required, the one who confirms that the person exists, for which MNEMOSYNE was created. But if there is no observation, then only the data will be transferred, and the transferred one will self-destruct. Probably this was the case with the User, he died the day before the birth of the User of the First, having gone into the past.
Another proof that Information can be used to resurrect. Morgana created an absolutely perfect copy of Beryl , thus resurrecting him, who was erased from reality by the power of time and paradox, using Information.
What happened in the world of the Moon Cell?
The existence of the Soul has been scientifically proven, thanks to the development of technology, and then there was an event in 1970, after which the disappearance of magic began, forcing magicians to turn to modern technology. At the same time, a study appeared that redefined the idea of the soul, after which people came to the conclusion that the soul is an energy body that resides in a higher dimension and is actually an incredibly superior information carrier, allowing for the collection of information of a higher level. In such a changed world, domination appeared information technology. Such a world affected the abilities of other True Mages, but this was no longer the result of the loss of the Third.
The Moon Cell itself also shows well why the Third is precisely Information. The Cell scanned the Earth literally every moment, thanks to which even Arcueid can be summoned there . And even create a separate world, so one can imagine what the User of the Third True Magic would be capable of if he nevertheless gained the power of the Achieved Akasha .
Zig leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes with a blissful smile on his face.
- I, Sigmund Kronstein, and I have a dream ... And I have a plan...
