Magician in Type-Moon

When Wuzhiqi and Ergo first arrived at this place, he carefully noted their direction of movement and changes in their aura.

Wuzhiqi looked down at him, and after a moment nodded slightly:

"Yes, but why are you asking this instead of running now? With your abilities, escaping this great library shouldn't be difficult, right?"

This is true.

Given the current chaotic situation, the best course of action is to simply leave this large library.

Leaving this place is not difficult.

only...

"Someone has to solve this problem of underwater volcanoes," Matou Ike said calmly.

Wuzhiqi raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his eyes:

"You actually care about something like this?"

“Of course,” Matou Ike said calmly. “Rather than letting this disaster destroy the entire Mediterranean, it’s better to nip the problem in the bud now. Don’t you think that sometimes solving a problem is more meaningful than simply running away?”

Although Latio managed to deceive everyone last time, the underwater volcano was still in a dormant state at that time. Even if it is "activated" again due to the influence of the final calculation machine, the chain of explosions still needs time to brew.

However, the situation is quite different now.

The underwater volcano, having undergone activation, is nearing the point of eruption, and at this moment, the will of the alchemists inside the Great Library of Alexandria forcibly restarts the future simulation.

This means that this Mediterranean region could be on the verge of collapse at any moment.

Moreover, this disaster is far more dangerous than the one in Latio, because there was no time to prepare.

Two thousand three hundred years of preparation can guide energy to a certain trajectory, but now, this simple and crude approach will only trigger an uncontrollable chain reaction.

The seabed crust will tear apart at an incredible speed, the geological structure will collapse rapidly, followed by unstoppable tsunamis, volcanic ash that blots out the sun, and the rampage of high-temperature magma.

The destructive impact of the chain reaction will not be limited to the Mediterranean; it could potentially affect a wider area and even completely reshape the topography of this continent of Europe and Africa.

This is unacceptable to Matouchi.

Wuzhiqi remained silent for a moment, then a strange smile appeared on his lips: "Hmph, interesting."

She shook her head. "Then I'll see just how far you can go."

Soon, a completely different space opened up from the spacetime bubble.

It opened up a path to the real seabed.

Meastia let Matou Ike put his hand inside.

The iridescent light of the spacetime bubble flickered constantly on its inner side.

The next moment, Kiriichi's figure disappeared into the crowd.

.........

It tore through the darkness of the deep sea, turning the land of no light into a crimson stain.

Like an enraged beast, molten lava erupted from the fissures in the ocean floor, creating billowing torrents of heat. The rock walls began to crumble rapidly, and new cracks spread at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, as if the entire Earth's crust was gasping and trembling in an instant.

The seawater, steamed by the intense heat, burst into countless white bubbles, accompanied by a piercing boiling sound, spreading outwards. Countless marine creatures fled in panic, but in this scorching inferno, most only had time to turn into shadows before being buried in this crimson hell.

However, this is not the most terrifying sight.

What spewed from the depths of the crater was not just ordinary magma, but also a strange reddish-gold liquid.

It was as if an evil entity that had been sealed away for thousands of years had finally been able to see the light of day again.

These liquids flowed through the magma in bizarre patterns, constantly releasing intense light and terrifying energy fluctuations, their power even surpassing the pressure of the deep sea.

Matou Pond was currently deep in the ocean. Only with the help of the Demon Eye could she barely make out the true form of that thing amidst the dense volcanic ash and extremely hot heat.

"Spiritual veins."

That's right, it's a spiritual vein.

Compared to its usual state as a collection of magical energy, the spiritual veins here have become fully materialized, like a crimson dragon winding through the volcanic fissures, radiating dazzling light.

"As expected, the thing I was most worried about still happened."

Matouchi murmured softly, his tone revealing an undisguised heaviness.

The root of the problem is obvious—this calculation was started too hastily.

Everything, whether magic or the laws of nature, requires gradual accumulation and deduction. Even Kurrides' experiment took a full two thousand three hundred years.

However, now, this final computer, named "Elgo," is being forced to operate without any preparation, bearing a load far exceeding its design limits.

The consequences are self-evident.

The spiritual veins, stripped from the planet's deepest foundations, gradually manifested in this world.

You should know that spiritual veins are also known as the "pulse of the planet".

Once the stripping is completely completed, the entire Mediterranean ecosystem will collapse, potentially affecting the entire continent and ultimately turning it into a desolate wasteland.

It might even cause problems with the planet's operation.

This is just one link in a chain reaction!

Chapter 431 Infiltration

Problems will occur on the planet.

It's already an unimaginable disaster.

But what Matouike was most worried about was—

This world, it should know, is still in a state of "daydreaming."

Before that point in time is reached.

The exact reason for the formation of this Lostbelt has not yet been fully established.

If this event causes problems on the planet, then the cause of the Lostbelt's formation can be classified as a "disaster."

This obscures the real reason.

That would be great fun.

This kind of unpredictable development is like the god of fate rolling a die, and every time it results in a major failure.

now.

Matouchi held its breath underwater, the surrounding seawater like a giant, invisible chain, exerting unimaginable pressure.

Thousands of meters below sea level, the pressure far exceeds the limits of the human body. Even his "Ashfire Armor" began to creak slightly, as if it might collapse at any moment.

This is different from the incident that occurred in the third level.

The Grand Library of Alexandria is, after all, a massive magical structure with a complete depressurization system.

But the situation is completely different now.

There was no buffer, and no protection.

Volcanic ash permeated the seawater, forming a thick, murky fog.

Every breath must be taken with utmost care, as the slightest carelessness could allow hot air bubbles or corrosive magma to rush into the body.

Most of the magic power within him had just been channeled into the "Blood Moon".

Therefore, we need to be even more cautious.

In the deep sea, time and space seem to stand still.

The weight of the seawater pressed down on me, even slowing down my thinking.

"It's like a joke."

A wry smile appeared on Matou Ike's face, but his Deconstruction Mystic Eyes operated more and more smoothly, meticulously discerning the surrounding environment.

The colossal manifestation of the spiritual vein shimmered with a crimson glow in the distance, each slight tremor sending ripples through the surrounding earth's crust. The crater emitted a deafening rumble, and the entire seabed seemed to tremble in response.

"Fortunately, the Matou family's element is water..."

He silently mocked himself while adjusting his swimming style to resist the powerful currents from the seabed.

.........

The Great Holy Grail is located underground at Ryudo-ji Temple on Mount Enzang.

The emperor sensed the strange fluctuations in the air.

He squinted slightly.

His expression was somewhat displeased.

"Who on earth is it? Reaching in at this time... Is it a restraint force...? Something doesn't seem right..."

.........

Fortunately, the coordinates provided by Wuzhiqi were not too far from the largest crater.

Matouchi was well aware that time was of the essence, and the high temperature and corrosive water around him made his movements even more difficult.

Using the power of the Twisted Eye, he fixed a miniature spiral axis behind him, where red and green twisting forces intertwined and rotated, forming a stable thrust.

The spiral shaft, like a self-rotating propeller, opened a temporary passage for him in this deadly deep sea.

Although it is not perfect and the thrust fluctuates, it is enough to support its rapid progress in such harsh conditions.

The twisting force carved a thin trail in the seawater, forcibly driving away the surrounding high-temperature bubbles and corrosive magma.

However, if someone familiar with Matou Ike's personality saw this, they would probably burst out laughing.

But that's okay, pragmatism is the best ideology in the world.

"Time is running out, and the rampage of the spiritual veins has intensified."

Matouchi's eyes were fixed on the crimson light flashing in the distant crater, a sign that the core of the spiritual vein was gradually materializing.

Matou Ike took a deep breath and poured the last of his magical power into the Twisted Mystic Eyes without reservation.

The green and red spiraling forces suddenly surged, and the surging energy formed a violently rotating vortex behind him, instantly pushing the thrust to its limit.

His body transformed into a blurry shadow, cutting through the scorching water and burning lava, heading straight for the giant underwater volcano.
