Chapter 549

【Waver: "I cannot say. Although I cannot say, are you willing to entrust your life to me?"】

【Gray: "Teacher is such a fool, please don't say that with a guilty look. Because I have already entrusted my life to you, Teacher."】

Shishigou Kairi: "Want to stop the weapon of the Atlas Academy? That's really bold."

Iskandar: "Hahaha, kid, right? That's what a courageous man is."

Kayneth: "Hmm, he didn't live up to the name of El-Melloi."

Waver: "Uh, it feels like a crazy decision..."

【Flat: "I say, retreating at this time would be too ridiculous, because the game hasn't been cleared yet! No matter how you look at it, this is the appearance of a hidden boss! It's rare that we found it, how can we skip it and not fight!"】

【Svin: "I will follow the teacher's wishes. Besides, the teacher said this time we need to borrow our strength. For the party asking for help, not letting us help to the end is a violation of the contract."】

【Waver said helplessly: "You remember that."】

【Kay protested: "Hey, hey, hey, are you guys idiots! I think not only is everyone's brain burnt, but you've also chugged a bunch of strong liquor for giants? The other party specifically indicated that you can leave, and you've suffered bitterly before, and you still intend to play with fire? It's not like some country girl who was given a chance to give up and pulled out the sword of selection. I won't do such a stupid thing as jumping into a boring hell on my own."】

【Gray: "But, Sir Kay will go with us, right."】

【Kay: "Why do you think so?"】

【Gray: "Because, you are also Add at the same time."】

【Kay: "Should I say, since you are holding Add, who is the host, I can't run away at all. If you feel sorry for me, then just run away, but you won't, right."】

【Gray: "Hmm."】

【After I nodded, Kay hung his head in frustration.】

Artoria: "Country girl..."

Added resentment toward Merlin.

Merlin:???

Lancelot: "..."

Is this really the Kay in his memory, not some white-haired old monster in disguise?

Merlin: Achoo, achoo...

【Waver: "Okay, we will stop the malfunctioning Logos React for you."】

【Zepia frowned and said: "Are you serious?"】

【Waver: "Of course. Basically, didn't you also calculate this answer?"】

【Zepia: "Of course I calculated it. Although the possibility is not high, this candidate is in your options, because the statistical data of your actions so far hinted at such an answer. Precisely because of this, I took the risk of violating the contract to choose to contact you, but I still don't understand. Why is such an option possible?"】

【"With your intelligence, you should understand that it is unreasonable. You should also be very clear about the danger of the Logos React. You wouldn't say the reason is that you want to save Wales or something like that, right? Or is it because there is another method? Even if there really is such a thing, would a Monarch bet his life for a vague and unreasonable option that stacks hypotheses on top of hypotheses?"】

【"Not just you, but also bet the lives of your students and resident disciples. I remember your personality, don't you even avoid students participating in your own battles?"】

【Waver: "I said before, I am not a detective. I don't think that after excluding the unreasonable, the truth will remain, because I am a magus. And, I have been tired of the results guided by the so-called best or most suitable answers for a long time."】

【Zepia: "Hahaha! You actually said you don't want to exclude the unreasonable! Are you an idiot, are you a fool, are you a big stupid bird! I thought you would say something, but it's such a boring and meaningless plot! Even a guy who can't survive for three hundred years with the magic of immortality, throwing away the best and most suitable answers, where do you intend to arrive? In the end, you have to use such a weak reason, relying on this little combat power to face the malfunctioning Logos React!"】

【"Is that so, this logic... is very reasonable!"】

【Kay: "What!!!"】

【Zepia: "Yes, that's right. You'll get tired of it. You'll get bored of it. That's why I gave up that kind of thinking and stopped worrying. However, you said you want to move forward with that kind of thinking, right."】

【"I see, how stupid, how boring, how... no, I have decided to just be a watcher, it would be tactless to say more. Let's continue to talk about business."】

【"It's fine if you want to stop the Logos React, but as Lord El-Melloi II saw through, I cannot provide assistance according to the contract. Even so, I can at least arrange the stage. Although it won't bring advantages to either side, it might be a bit easier in terms of mood."】

【Waver: "Thank you for your assistance, I am terrified."】

【Zepia: "Come, the moment for the reenactment to end has arrived!"】

【His fingers traced an arc. The sound of something shattering rang out, and Waver and the others seemed to be surrounded by an ice palace invisible to the naked eye, and then a dizziness a hundred times stronger than the floating feeling of taking an elevator struck.】

【Zepia: "By the way, I'll tell you one thing. Now that you have decided to participate, telling you won't violate the contract."】

Artoria: "So magical? Doesn't the introduction say it will bring disaster?"

【"???"】

【There was no time to be shocked, and the inaudible 'message' echoed in the minds of several people.】

【──Code: Logos React, irregular startup.】

【──Distortion fixed value: B.】

【──Removal period: ■■■■■■■■■■■】

【──Unlogos program started. Start converting targets.】

【──Full process, Clear completed. Atlas's human order continuation fifth experiment started.】

Rin Tohsaka: "He said death is not yet determined? What does that mean?"

Kayneth: "Hmm... I see!"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "I understand too. The Logos React cannot accept the concept of death, so those two people who are constantly being calculated by it are probably not really dead yet."

Kayneth: "Indeed, I didn't expect that because of the malfunction, it actually caused this unexpected situation."

【After the magi of the Clock Tower disappeared, Zepia, who remained, sighed.】

【He must try his best to delay the time when the runaway caused by the malfunction occurs. Although according to the contract, he cannot take action against the Logos React itself, changing the surrounding factors and indirectly inducing Waver and the others is barely within the permissible range.】

【Of course, the sixth parallel thinking warning says that doing so strictly speaking has the risk of violating the contract, but he prioritized the view that the second and third arguments are within the permissible range. The contradiction between parallel thinking led to a slight decrease in performance, and this can only be accepted.】

【Like he had been doing for an hour, Zepia touched the crystal ball and continuously controlled countless parameters.】

【In a sense, that technique was far more delicate than the interference battle when he fought Flat. Even if it were an alchemist of the Atlas Academy, if it were someone else, their brain would probably be burnt on the spot by that heavy load. But if you can't do this level of things, there is no value in becoming a Dead Apostle.】

【Zepia: "I see, how stupid, how boring, how lovable..."】

Kayneth: "Thanks to this guy being a Dead Apostle, if he were a human, he probably wouldn't be able to control the malfunctioning Logos React at all."

Shishigou Kairi: "It's been like this for half a year, it's really hard work."

【Dark clouds covered the sky, stone pillars stood on the ground, and names were carved on each stone pillar, like forgotten children, casting faint shadows on the black ground.】

【Obviously, this is a graveyard.】

【Zepia said he chose the location, is that what he meant?】

【This is Gray's mother's grave, the Skeleton King's grave, and the Logos React's grave.】

【However, compared to the environment, Gray's mind is full of another thing right now.】

【"Teacher, Mom's death and Priest Fernand's death are not yet determined, what is going on?"】

【Waver: "That was just a hypothesis, and it would be cruel to let you have false hope, so I didn't say it there."】

【"The Atlas Academy also gave an unexpected gift. That is what he meant, your mother's death is not yet determined."】

【Gray: "Not yet determined?"】

【Waver: "Because the Logos React has been continuously testing death, it is equivalent to saying that the deceased present are not yet determined. The Logos React is probably preserving those villagers in a state of suspended animation. I thought Priest Fernand might be the same, I didn't expect to get confirmation from Zepia himself."】

【Gray: "So, Mom's death, and Priest Fernand's death are both, not yet determined."】

【Kay: "I see. Magi really always think about inexplicable things. But it's quite interesting."】 ===== CHAPTER 551 =====
