Chapter 181: Principle of Comparison, First Encounter with Fish-Fryers

He joked every day about Falanxi raising its hands to surrender, never expecting that there would actually be a day he would come to Falanxi.

Meng Yi interfered with the unlucky guy's behavioral logic, helped him properly handle his interpersonal relationships,

and leaving behind the words "The world is so big, I want to go see it," Meng Yi manipulated the unlucky guy to leave the remote town.

The contestants of the Fourth Holy Grail War included:

Einzbern family external aid, Magus Killer: Emiya Kiritsugu;

Tohsaka family head, the pot of this world: Tohsaka Tokiomi;

Matou family second son, simp number one: Matou Kariya;

Zhong Ta Mineralogy Lord, cuckold brother: Lord Kayneth;

Zhong Ta aspiring youth, Princess: Waver;

Holy Church pleasure-seeker, father-stabbing maniac: Kotomine Kirei;

Fuyuki City local tyrant, serial killer: Uryuu Ryuunosuke.

"My current location is southeastern Falanxi, an area near the Alps."

"The Einzbern family in Germany and the Zhong Ta in England are not far from my location."

"Going to Fuyuki City in Fusang is a bit far, and Fuyuki City is highly likely to attract the attention of fish-fryers who know the plot."

The waters of the Mage's Association were a bit deep.

The Second Magician, Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, held the position of "Marshal of Magic" in the Mage's Association.

Located in the suburbs of London, the Zhong Ta could attract too many things for contestants, and the possibility of being fished by the native F4 could not be ruled out.

"If there really are players who know the plot, the Einzbern family, who once briefly possessed the 'Third Magic: Materialization of the Soul,' has a high probability of being targeted."

"It's too early to go to Fuyuki City now, and too dangerous to go to the Zhong Ta."

"Germany is not safe either, but of two evils, choose the lesser."

After thinking it over, Meng Yi decided to choose the Einzbern family in Germany.

He was gambling, gambling that there wouldn't be too many fish-fryers who knew the "plot destiny."

If he succeeded, he could analyze the "Third Magic: Materialization of the Soul" in advance; if he failed, it would be nothing more than going to Fuyuki City to compete.

In short, stay away from the bottomless pit that was the Zhong Ta!

"Set off!"

"Main Body: Infinite True Realm" remotely manipulated the "Vessel: Golden Core Ancestor (Xianmo Weiyang's appearance)," and the vessel manipulated a conventional carbon-based human individual.

Having put on two layers of vests, Meng Yi still felt it wasn't safe enough.

"No, I have to change the styling of the outermost vest!"

The unremarkable European adult male individual underwent a subversive change in appearance.

The flaxen short hair grew long, tied into a single ponytail and draped over the left shoulder.

The puppet's eyes turned into a pure jade-like color, the rough skin became smooth and delicate, and the appearance became extremely handsome.

Meng Yi continued to change the vest's clothing.

Wearing a purple long-hemmed windbreaker on the outside, with a white shirt inside, the sleeves slightly rolled up. On the lower body, he wore gray suit trousers and brown long boots.

Walking on a remote country path, far from the pollution of bustling cities, the glacial meltwater flowing through the river was very clear.

Meng Yi made some final adjustments, observed the newly created appearance in the mirror-like clear water, and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I put on the vest 'Golden Core Ancestor: Xianmo Weiyang,' and 'Xianmo Weiyang' puts on the vest 'Destiny Archbishop: Otto Apocalypse'."

"Peel off one layer of vest, and there's another; with double vests on, I don't believe anyone can discover my true identity."

Meng Yi, who had the style of a cultivator, changed to the working style of a member of the clergy.

Meng Yi manipulated the Otto puppet to transfer to various means of transportation, approaching the direction of Germany.

Meng Yi, who was cosplaying a member of the clergy—no, someone even more of a charlatan than a charlatan.

Along the way, he enjoyed the treatment that only the "Holy Church" could enjoy, just short of having little boys shoved at him to be blessed.

Walking to a relatively bustling town, Meng Yi's brows furrowed slightly.

Even though he was suppressed by the "Sea of Ether," his transcendent essence still allowed him to keenly perceive the slight disharmony that existed here.

"Wide-area mental interference: Disperse Mortals? What a shallow application."

"Observing its roots, it's about Fourth Rank level; it seems there's a bit of a 'strong outside, weak inside' meaning."

Meng Yi calculated that the peak period of the person who cast "Mental Interference: Disperse Mortals" was about the early stage of Fifth Rank.

"Destroying a country alone at the peak period; there are only a handful of people in the Type-Moon surface who can do this."

"A resurrected god? A fairy? A True Ancestor? An Ancestor of Dead Apostles? A well-prepared wizard?"

Regardless, some native casting "Mental Interference" under his nose had quite a bit of a "fishing" meaning.

Meng Yi smiled: "Discovered me so soon?"

It was nothing more than a vessel; if it fell into a ditch, he would just send another one.

Running away immediately upon being discovered would make it seem like he was afraid of the other side.

"Go over and take a look."

Meng Yi set off toward the location where the "Mental Interference" was released and soon arrived at a park.

No sound came from here, and an atmosphere of deathly silence shrouded the area.

Sitting on a bench around the artificial lake was a girl wearing a black evening dress, appearing to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, with black hair reaching her waist, crimson eyes, and a face more exquisite than a doll.

The black-haired, red-eyed girl in the dusk was as beautiful as a world-class painting.

What surprised Meng Yi the most was the fluffy white big dog crouching at her feet.

'The "Fourth Beast" holding the "Principle of Comparison"; observing its state, it is still in the growth phase; calling it "Primate Murder" is more appropriate.'

'Then this little girl must be the Ancestor of Dead Apostles, the Ninth, Altrouge Brunestud, known in the underworld as the "Black Princess" and "Ancient Red".'

Altrouge Brunestud, the guinea pig created by the Moon UO "Crimson Moon" and the Earth UO "Gaia."

She was also an inferior product eliminated by the "Perfect True Ancestor: Crimson Moon Vessel: Arcueid."

Although she was honored as the creation of the Crimson Moon, she could not enter the ranks of True Ancestors.

Relying on the blessing of the "Black Princess" status, Altrouge Brunestud attracted the allegiance of the "Sixth Ancestor of Dead Apostles: Black Knight" and the "Eighth Ancestor of Dead Apostles: Bai Qi."

In addition to the "First Ancestor of Dead Apostles: Primate Murder" following her, as well as the former head of the Atlas Academy who signed a contract, the current "Thirteenth Ancestor of Dead Apostles: Night of Wallachia."

Combining the combat power of five "Ancestors of Dead Apostles," she had quite a reputation in the transcendent circle, which was also why she had many enemies.

Altrouge Brunestud's head was quite stubborn.

Fighting with "True Ancestor: Arcueid," fighting with the Mage's Association, fighting with the "Sixteenth Ancestor of Dead Apostles: White Winged Duke"...

She wasn't fighting all day, she was on her way to fight; she was truly the honey badger among the Ancestors of Dead Apostles.

Years of fighting and a lack of time to catch her breath led to Altrouge Brunestud being battered and bruised, with her combat power severely shrunk.

As for that white-haired big dog, this guy was one of the "Evils of Humanity."

"Evils of Humanity" in the Type-Moon worldview were manifested as seven types of individuals.

They were: "Principle of Pity: Goetia," "Principle of Return: Tiamat," "Principle of Lust: Kama (Sessyoin Kiara)," "Principle of Comparison: Fou," "Principle of Oblivion: Camazotz," "Principle of Fall: Draco," "Principle of Arrogance: U-Olga Marie."

While Meng Yi was observing the Ancestor of Dead Apostles and the Fourth Beast, the vampire and the dog were also observing Meng Yi.

"Little girl, why are you playing here alone? Where are your parents?"

The Otto puppet revealed a gentle smile.

It made Altrouge Brunestud feel inexplicably impulsive to punch him and smash that face.

The "Black Princess" radiated an innocent expression, pretending to be ignorant and pure: "Hello, Father, I don't have a father~"

The voice, pretending to be young, carried the seductive fluctuations of mental manipulation.

Why is the old woman pretending to be a child?

Meng Yi had a sudden whim; wearing the vest of the "Destiny Archbishop," it would be a pity not to play "I have no father, I have myself."

"What? You don't have a father? That's too... I mean, that's too sad, but it doesn't matter."

Meng Yi paused, opened his arms, and said with a smile: "Meeting is fate."

"Although you don't have a father, I can completely be your father, your guide on the path of life."

"?"

Veins popped out on the vampire's forehead.

This monster statement, plus that face that looked hateful, actually stirred up her anger.

"Born evil magus! I'll do it myself—!"

'Pat—'

Meng Yi moved, one foot stepping on the white-haired big dog that was about to attack, and one hand pressing on the vampire's head.

The "White Dwarf Battle Body" transmitted a tiny bit of force field, suppressing the vampire and the dog so they couldn't move.

"Misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding!"

The terrifying suppressive force that could not be resisted scared the vampire.

This was even more outrageous than her mother, the Crimson Moon!

Meng Yi smiled: "Misunderstanding? There is no misunderstanding."

"I thought I was unlucky and was discovered by those four."

"It turns out you were unlucky and fell into my hands."

A bit of white dwarf matter condensed into a ring.

Meng Yi turned one of them into a headband and buckled it on Altrouge Brunestud's forehead, and turned the other gravity ring into a dog chain and tied it to the neck of Primate Murder.

"I unilaterally announce that you are now my guinea pigs."

Meng Yi, who had just acquired guinea pigs, looked up at the sky where dark clouds were thickening.

Revealing his power indeed aroused Gaia's vigilance; after all, this planet was Gaia's body.

Meng Yi's expression was calm, and he said coldly: "With this reaction speed, you wouldn't even be able to catch hot shit."

"Two guinea pigs, we should leave; if we don't leave now, we really won't be able to."

"It just so happens that it's inconvenient for me to make a move these few days, so you don't need to report to the laboratory for the time being; just be my thugs for a few days."

Alternate space leveraged the underlying rules of the material universe.

The Human Emperor Banner, which contained ten billion "meme curses," emitted black energy coolly.

Meng Yi waved the Ten Thousand Soul Banner at the sky, and a few "meme curses" fused into a ghost god that stood tall between heaven and earth.

The huge ghost god roared at the sky, fighting endlessly with the sea of thunder, while Meng Yi disappeared without a trace with his spoils.

'Let you run wild for a few days; when I obtain the competition qualification, we will settle everything together!'

The "Sea of Ether" dissipated outward, and the "Mystery Concentration" of the Type-Moon Earth increased.

The ghost god was finally buried in the strangulation of more and more Gaia tentacles/gods, and a corner of Falanxi was also turned into a wasteland.

Not far from the main battlefield.

The Bai Qi surrounded by ghosts and the Black Knight holding a magic sword, two Ancestors of Dead Apostles carrying food (humans), looked in horror at the large area of land that had turned into wasteland.

"No! Something happened to Her Highness the Princess!"

They never expected that such a big change would occur while hunting.

The Black Knight's tone was cold, "Looking at the signs, it should be the work of the legendary 'outsiders'."

'Crack—'

The Bai Qi's palm exerted a little force, snapping the neck of the beautiful boy he had intended to enjoy.

"No matter what, he or she has hurt Her Highness the Princess!"

"Swear by blood, to the ends of the earth and the yellow springs, I will kill him!"

'Step step step—'

Reality and illusion alternated, and footsteps echoed in the sea of consciousness of the Black Knight and the Bai Qi.

Attracted by the anomalies of heaven and earth, Li Lin, who was cosplaying an anime boy and had his hands in his pockets, walked out from the hearts of the two Ancestors of Dead Apostles.

"What are you barking about?"

"The Fourth Beast was snatched away a step ahead; is it a player who knows the 'plot destiny'?"

Li Lin distorted the existence elements of the Black Knight and the Bai Qi.

Forcibly borrowing the existence, identity, true name, and influence of the two Ancestors of Dead Apostles, he used them as a legitimate vest to exert his strength appropriately.

"Where is that player going? The Zhong Ta or the Einzbern family?"

Obviously, Li Lin was also a fish-fryer who knew the "plot destiny."

"Fine, let's try his methods."

The Black Knight and the Bai Qi stuck together, twisting into an Asian adult male wearing half-black and half-white casual clothes.

The "Magic Sword: True Evil" was distorted into an eye-patch-style decoration.

Li Lin, who was cosplaying "Tregear Ultraman's Human Form," moved his body, and the mask was gently buckled on his face.

"Tregear, one hundred points!"

A place in Germany covered in ice and snow all year round.

The howling wind carried white snow, draping the dense primeval forest in silver.

Under the night sky, the starlight and moonlight reflected a crystalline light on the snow.

Faintly visible in the depths of the dense forest was an ancient castle full of the traces of time.

Meng Yi, followed by a vampire maid and leading a big white dog, stopped in the snow, turned around, and looked up at the starry sky.

"Sure enough, I guessed it."

The stable spatial structure shook gently.

With the help of the Black and White Knights' status, Li Lin used "Heart Image: Reality Marble," covering a small piece of reality in the material plane.

Li Lin: "Eh, Honkai's Otto Apocalypse?"

Meng Yi: "Hmm? Tregear Ultraman's human form?"

In the temporarily opened battlefield, the two vest-wearing people stared at each other for a while.

Meng Yi: "Friend, good eye! I am Otto! It seems your hometown has information interaction with my hometown!"

Li Lin: "I really didn't expect a friend to recognize my identity; I didn't think the Honkai world also watched Ultraman special effects."

'Bah! Whoever believes that is a fool! Shameless rat hiding his head and showing his tail!' ×2

The standoff between the fish-fryers continued.

In order to be relatively faithful to Otto, Meng Yi secretly used alchemy to plate the Human Emperor Banner with a "Divine Key: Void Archives" weapon skin.

"My Divine Key fell."

Meng Yi pretended to be surprised, bent down, and picked up the golden Rubik's cube that had fallen from his pocket to the ground.

Li Lin took his time and took out the forged "Ultraman Transformation Device: Tregear Eye," and buckled the eye-patch decoration onto his face.

'Damn monster! You don't look like it at all!' ×2

"That is! Stulut's 'Magic Sword: True Evil'!"

The Black Princess, who had been demoted to a maid, recognized the exclusive equipment of her subordinate at a glance.

"What did you do to Brad and Stulut?!"

The "Heart Image World" was stained with an indelible blood color, and the tornado of blood and wind connected heaven and earth.

Altrouge Brunestud transformed for the second time, the flat-chested girl evolving into a stunning beauty with a charming figure.

The Ancestor of Dead Apostles' eyes flashed with crimson light, vampire fangs shimmered with cold light, and her waist-length hair was blown by the strong wind.

Primate Murder was also baring its fangs, its fur standing on end.

The power of slaughter against primate life forms lingered on its claws.

The incomplete "Principle of Comparison" spread weird and unpredictable conceptual fluctuations.

Li Lin didn't take the vampire and the Fourth Beast cub seriously at all, smiling like a smile: "Friend, is this how you discipline your own dog?"
