Chapter 290: ·Solved the mystery, no
【Gray: "Cannot cover up, death..."】
【In the first round, Fernand, the Skeleton King, or rather the mother who gave her the body, died.】
【Does that mean that this fact alone cannot be covered up even if it is reproduced?】
【That's why Fernand's corpse appeared abruptly, and the Skeleton King died after obtaining Magdalena's body. Perhaps in the moment of dying, everyone had witnessed their own clone.】
【The Second: "Then, let's enter the conclusion."】
【"I mentioned just now that the spirit alone cannot maintain its original form in the real world for so long. Sir Kay was able to maintain his form because Add, as the main body, was there, and normally it couldn't be maintained for a whole day either. However, the Skeleton King said she woke up ten years ago, the same time Gray began to transform into King Arthur's physical body."】
【The Second, as if he had expected it, looked at where the Skeleton King's corpse was and asked: "Then, how did you maintain your existence?"】
【Kay: "Hey hey, what is going on?"】
【I saw that unknowingly, the Skeleton King's corpse actually stood up.】
Rin Tohsaka: "I'm going! A corpse has risen!"】
Shishigou Kairi: "Could it be a successful fusion?"】
Kayneth: "No, death is irreversible, she has indeed returned to the situation of the first round, she is dead."】
【The Second: "Skeleton King, no, this name no longer suits you. The restarted you is neither Magdalena nor King Arthur's spirit, but the main body that absorbs a large amount of the underground Great Source and engages in calculation."】
【"You are, Logos React!"】
Kayneth: "What! Logos React!"】
Waver: "Master, what is that?"】
Kayneth: "... ogos React, one of the seven great weapons of Atlas Academy, it is said to be able to generate a limited observation space based on input conditions and conduct hypothetical experiments."】
Kayneth: "I see, I should have thought of it earlier, this is not the past at all, but a scene space generated by Logos React!"】
Rin Tohsaka: "So, everyone else, including Trimmau, is fake!"】
Kayneth: "... hat's right."】
Although very unwilling, this is the truth.】
Their El-Melloi family's supreme Mystic Code, others can just casually create a fake one.】
Tokiomi Tohsaka: "This is the strength of Atlas Academy."】
【Kay: "Ah? That Atlas Academy weapon, is actually a person?"】
【The Second stared at Logos React and said: "There are some differences. To be precise, she is the Avatar of Logos React itself in this world."】
【"The seven great weapons of Atlas Academy have the ability to replicate King Arthur's spirit. After all, it was created to save humanity from extinction, but the result would lead to the destruction of the world."】
【"..."】
【The Skeleton King, no, it should be Logos React, did not speak.】
【Unknowingly, her face had become as hazy as Kay's.】
【The Second: "Yes, this is not the past, nor is it a Loop. Precisely because of this, the reproduction can only last until the moment the Skeleton King's death is confirmed."】
【"What kind of world is it that takes death as the starting point and end point, repeating over and over like the past? The answer is self-evident."】
【"This is a grave, the smallest afterlife calculated by Logos React!"】
【In an instant, as if the secret of heaven had been broken, the noise began to become more and more intense, and the noise was almost deafening.】
【The Second said loudly: "You are listening, right! Atlas Academy! I have solved the mystery, now the summer is over! Alright, show yourself, Zepia Eltnam Atlasia!"】
【This sentence directly split the world, and everything disappeared without a trace in an instant.】
【The swamp, the temple, Granny, the villagers, Bersac, Trimmau, Ilumia, all disappeared. Only Zepia remained, standing there extremely naturally.】
Rin Tohsaka: "They escaped!"】
Kayneth: "Hmph, although the mystery of the Skeleton King's death back then was solved, this matter is not over yet."】
Emiya Kiritsugu: "That's right, Zepia, what exactly is this guy's purpose? He spent half a year in this village just to let the Second figure out the truth back then?"】
Tokiomi Tohsaka: "And the others in the village, where did they all go?"】
Waver: "Indeed, there are still a bunch of doubts left."】
【The Second and the three were in a strange space, the space presented a hazy dimness, many crystal balls floated in mid-air, and the ground also transmitted an incredible touch that was neither soil, nor metal, nor resin.】
【Zepia: "Congratulations, you found the answer, Lord El-Melloi II."】
【Kay: "Sigh, even I was dragged here? Because the main body is Add, it's a matter of course, but you guys have worked me too hard for nothing, right? This workload could have been exchanged for a territory in the past. Ah, no, if I got that kind of thing, I would only have no time to chase after women."】
【And seeing that Kay was still there, Gray couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, subconsciously gripping the great scythe.】
【The Second stared at the other party and said in a deep voice: "Zepia, does this mean that my answer just now is the correct answer to the puzzle you proposed?"】
【Zepia: "Thinking so is not a problem. In modern terms, can it be called clearing the game?"】
【"You contacted Logos React, solved the mystery it created, and took the initiative to let that world expel you, which was very brilliant."】
【"Ah, regardless of the Skeleton King who is the main body of Logos React, if external humans who have solved the world structure are included in the reproduction, a paradox will occur."】
【The Second: "So, you are not in that world either."】
【Zepia: "In principle, that is exactly the case."】
【Gray: "Master, what about Miss Trimmau?"】
【The Second: "That Trimmau is just a product of Logos React re-calculating the Trimmau left by Reines in the first round. The real Trimmau should be taking care of Reines and brewing black tea now."】
【The Second's answer made Gray breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she had new doubts.】
【What about Bersac and Ilumia? What about the others in the village? And the Second mentioned Fernand and the mother who 'died in the first round'..."】
【"Master!"】
【Just then, footsteps came from behind, it was Flat and Svin.】
【Flat: "I just knew Master could do it!"】
【Svin: "Flat, you're so long-winded! Master couldn't possibly make a mistake! Worrying about this kind of thing is disrespectful! Even without your meddling, Master would definitely have been able to perfectly break through this small problem!"】
【Flat: "Ah! But the one who suggested we must help the professor was you, doggy! And you even had an expression like a puppy abandoned on a rainy day!"】
【Svin: "M, Master taught us that magi should always be prepared for a second hand, I'm just doing as told! And this has nothing to do with expressions!"】
Shishigou Kairi: "These two appear, and they can always ease the atmosphere."】
Waver: "They are really a pair of living treasures."】
【Looking at the noisy two, Zepia smiled faintly: "It seems you have two good students, which is enviable."】
【The Second: "Yes, I feel the same way."】
【Zepia: "Then, as the right of the person who found the answer, what do you want me to provide, Lord El-Melloi II? For example, Hartless's whereabouts? Or do you hope I reveal the knowledge Atlas Academy knows about the Holy Grail War?"】
【The Second: "No, I haven't found anything yet, the mystery I should find is further ahead."】
【As soon as this was said, the air seemed to change quality in an instant.】
【Zepia: "... h, you say, the puzzle is further ahead?"】
【The Second: "Exactly, I'm not playing with words. What is the point of just saying that the second round is not the past but a grave? The essence is further ahead. Yes, since that is a grave, then whose grave it is is what matters."】
【In an instant, Zepia subconsciously froze.】
【The Second: "And, why did you mention our rights in a hurry?"】
【Zepia: "... s it that incredible?"】
【The Second: "Yes, because you won't do unnecessary things. Although you will talk about topics we cannot understand, that is purely because our current capacity is not enough to accept those messages. Why are you staying in this village?"】
【Zepia: "Is it strange?"】
【The Second: "I have felt strange since before. As you said before, based on Atlas Academy's technology, you can give instructions anywhere in the world. And, regardless of other members, as the Dean, you don't need to abide by Atlas Academy's rules and stay behind closed doors. However, that is not the reason you deliberately came to this village."】
Kayneth: "Indeed, being able to do it doesn't mean there is a reason to do it. Even if one of the seven great weapons is really hidden in this village, it is not a reason for a Dean to personally go out at such a time, and stay for half a year."】
Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Unless, there is another purpose."】
Shishigou Kairi: "Or, we are thinking too much, he is just simply bored."】
【The Second: "This case is too roundabout, is it really you who sent us into the second round? No, that is not your own behavior, you just know that things will develop that way. However, just using this to summarize the conclusion, you probably won't admit it. So, please allow me to organize the first round first."】
【"Sir Kay."】
【Kay: "Oh, you actually called me at this time?"】
【"I didn't expect to be called during a boring conversation between magi. Even if it's not too late now, if possible, I want to get out of here quickly, but what exactly do you want?"】
【The Second: "Although it should be correct, for the sake of caution, I want to confirm. You inherited Add's memories, right?"】
【Kay: "Hmm, you could say that. Because of this, I am a bit different from the me before I died."】
【The Second: "Then on the third day of the first round, do you remember what Priest Fernand was doing after I met Gray?"】
