Having suddenly arrived in the world of Fate/Grand Order, Ren Kurose was in a pretty good mood.
At the very least, this was a world he was familiar with.
Although this world was about to be incinerated, what did that have to do with him?
He was merely an outsider.
Moreover, the will of this planet—Gaia—would undoubtedly be watching him closely.
Naturally, the same applied to Alaya.
To the planetary will and the collective unconscious of humanity, any outsider could potentially be considered an enemy.
Of course, Ren Kurose currently had no particular plans for this world.
Uh…
All right.
When he looked at the already crimson-red CHALDEAS, Ren Kurose did feel a little hungry.
Yomagn’tho fed upon celestial bodies.
Earth was a celestial body too.
More importantly, it was a celestial body overflowing with life.
To Yomagn’tho, something like that was an exceptionally rare delicacy.
As for CHALDEAS, although it wasn’t a genuine planet, it was still a replica of Earth.
It had even replicated a portion of Earth’s planetary soul.
Naturally, that made it somewhat tempting to the current Ren Kurose as well.
Fortunately, Ren Kurose was now the dominant consciousness.
Only because of that could he suppress the urge to simply devour the planet.
Of course, he had no intention of eating CHALDEAS right now either.
Ren Kurose still remembered parts of the game’s plot.
Eventually, CHALDEAS would transform into the Foreign Planet and bring about the bleaching of Earth.
Compared to its current state, CHALDEAS would undoubtedly become far more delicious after maturing into the Foreign Planet.
So all Ren Kurose needed to do was wait for it to ripen.
Still, Ren Kurose was far more interested in the person capable of summoning him.
If he remembered correctly, the golden-brown-haired man who had summoned him should be Daybit Sem Void of Team A.
And perhaps only someone like Daybit possessed the ability to summon him.
Daybit Sem Void himself had once been affected by an indescribable object known as the Angel’s Relic, something suspected to have connections to the Cthulhu Mythos, and had been transformed into a humanoid black shadow.
However, unlike his father, Daybit’s physical body had remained behind.
In the end, he returned to and inhabited that body once more.
Although later examinations showed that all of his vital signs matched those of an ordinary human, and although he retained his original memories, Daybit himself believed that he was already an entirely different existence from the person he had once been. Visit novelping.com for the full chapter.
It was as though he had been disassembled and then pieced back together again.
That was the true reason he could revive after the explosion.
At the same time, it had also granted him the ability to summon those indescribable existences from the Cthulhu Mythos.
Therefore, there was nothing particularly strange about Daybit summoning Yomagn’tho Ren Kurose.
Unfortunately, Yomagn’tho Ren Kurose had only just arrived when Daybit completely fell into a state of apparent death.
There hadn’t even been time for them to communicate.
After thinking about it, Ren Kurose decided not to interfere with Daybit’s current condition.
After all, Daybit would inevitably revive later anyway.
Now that Ren Kurose understood which world he had arrived in, he decided to test an idea of his.
Since this was the Control Room, why hadn’t he seen Ritsuka Fujimaru or Mash Kyrielight?
Could he have arrived too late?
Had the two of them already entered the Singularity?
That possibility was quite high.
In the end, Ren Kurose decided not to worry about it and left the Control Room.
His next destination was somewhat special.
Although he was currently only an avatar, Ren Kurose still didn’t feel entirely secure.
After all, his summoner, Daybit, was still in the middle of his extremely long revival process.
Who knew when the connection keeping Ren Kurose here might suddenly disappear?
Therefore, he needed to find a reliable way to remain in this world.
His next target was—
Chaldea’s FATE Summoning System.
In the future, Chaldea would summon Abigail.
And Abigail had an extremely close connection with Yog-Sothoth.
If that was possible, then perhaps Ren Kurose could also remain here by manifesting in a form similar to a Servant.
Chaldea’s FATE Summoning System would be the key to testing that possibility.
The FATE Summoning System was the system Chaldea used to summon Heroic Spirits from throughout human history to participate in battle.
Ren Kurose found the system without much difficulty.
At this stage, there was no one here.
Even Chaldea’s three Servants weren’t present.
It should be two Servants.
One of the Servants had already merged with Mash!
With no one around, Ren Kurose was free to examine the system without interruption.
Although calling it “research” was probably an exaggeration.
In reality, Ren Kurose was merely observing it.
He didn’t even dare move too close.
After all, his flames were terrifyingly destructive.
If he approached carelessly, he might end up burning the entire system to ashes.
Still, after observing it for some time, Ren Kurose really did discover something useful.
For a Servant to manifest, it required something known as a Saint Graph.
In this world, a Saint Graph could essentially be considered a vessel.
The scale of a Saint Graph determined how much of a Heroic Spirit’s strength it could contain.
Naturally, a Heroic Spirit’s ultimate level of power still depended on the Heroic Spirit themselves.
However, if they possessed a Grand-class Saint Graph, the strength they could display would undoubtedly be much greater.
As for a Grand-class Saint Graph…
Ren Kurose wasn’t going to bother dreaming about that.
He could only consider an ordinary Saint Graph.
And besides…
he would first have to communicate with a certain pair of beings.
Ever since Ren Kurose had been summoned into this world, Gaia and Alaya had presumably been watching him.
If another top-tier Outer God had appeared, perhaps those two might not necessarily have detected it.
But Yomagn’tho was different.
Gaia would definitely notice Yomagn’tho.
Because…
the very soul of the planet would instinctively tremble in fear.
The title Feaster from the Stars wasn’t merely for show.
Not long ago, Yomagn’tho Ren Kurose had personally devoured an entire star.
The moment an existence carrying such an aura appeared on Earth, Gaia was bound to notice.
And so—
Ren Kurose waited for Gaia to make her move.
