Chapter 311: Why Is My Career Panel in a 2D Art Style? Chapter 141

The only thing she slightly objected to was that he often took Mashu alone to do things no one should see.

Well, actually, he had noticed something wrong with Mashu and said he could help improve it, though Gudako had no idea what was wrong with her adorable junior.

"Hmm, I wonder what Da Vinci is up to."

Gudako missed her companions; though she was always busy at Chaldea, she still couldn't enjoy peace alone here.

Thinking of this, she first sipped some sweet tea, then tearfully ate the Morabys fruit pie provided by Li Ang.

Just as Gudako was suffering yet delighted, a flickering, blurred shadow suddenly appeared before her.

【Hey? Hey? Can you hear me now? Gudako?】

Seeing the brown-haired girl in the shadow, the orange-haired girl instinctively swallowed her food: "Da Vinci?"

【Looks like you're doing well, Gudako.】

Noticing Gudako's current environment, Da Vinci subtly exhaled in relief.

【Quickly get ready—you have a mission.】

"?"

Gudako wiped her hands and sat up straight.

Seeing the girl serious, Da Vinci immediately relayed the information on 【Cutting Phenomena】.

Unfortunately, after hearing her account, Gudako fell into silence.

After a long pause, the orange-haired girl spoke dully: "Da Vinci, what if I'm already inside the enemy's headquarters?"

【. You've already identified the anomaly?】

At this, Da Vinci froze, then looked startled.

"No, this level of anomaly doesn't even require me to investigate actively."

Gudako casually remarked, then recounted everything that had happened since she arrived in this world.

【I see.】

Da Vinci's face lit up with sudden understanding.

【The anomaly in this Parallel world was caused by aliens—no wonder the Cutting couldn't be completed.】

Her emphasis was on aliens, not strength.

Of course, if one's strength were insufficient, even if they triggered large-scale anomalies, they'd be swiftly eliminated.

【In that case, Gudako, you and Mashu should find a way to escape first.】

Da Vinci quickly proposed a plan.

【I'll prepare for your Servant summoning in advance.】

Saying this, the brown-haired girl prepared to cut the communication.

But just then, she noticed the orange-haired girl's face had frozen into an unnaturally stiff smile: "Mr. Li Ang, what are you doing here?"

Hearing this, Da Vinci was jolted with alarm, whirled around, and immediately saw a tall young man standing behind her.

As a key surveillance target, Gudako had naturally drawn Li Ang's attention—and that was why he was here.

". 【Cutting Phenomena】?" He looked at the two frozen girls with displeasure. "How petty."

"I'm doing this for a better tomorrow."

Though he spoke these words, Li Ang felt no joy, for it meant his Current environment had entered its countdown to extinction.

Yet because of his existence, the universe had developed a bug.

Unlike what the Chaldea group suspected, Li Ang was not an alien—he was an entity beyond the universe.

In some cosmologies, this setup would make him an Outer God.

But it wasn't without a chance of reversal.

Since the universe's 【Cutting】 erased worlds stripped of possibility, Li Ang would make this world even more chaotic.

Of course, this chaos wasn't disorder—it meant restoring possibility to the world.

Fortunately, he had many ideas needing verification.

At this moment, seeing Li Ang remain silent, Gudako lowered her voice: "Da Vinci, can you pull me and Mashu back first?"

【No. Only the turbulence generated at the moment of a successful Cutting can I use to pull you back from this Parallel world.】

"."

Gudako was about to say more when a voice entered her ear: "Summon a Servant. I'm curious how Chaldea does it."

While both involve summoning Servants, the Holy Grail War's method is a degraded summoning via the Greater Grail—far inferior to Chaldea's ritual.

"Huh?"

Gudako first thought she'd misheard—but seeing Li Ang's calm expression, she realized the 【Celestial Dragon】 was serious.

Though she didn't understand why he'd do this, Gudako's spirit lifted.

If this continues…

Maybe there's still a chance to turn things around!
