Chapter 121 The Transmigrator Will Encounter the Moon Girl
The cold, massive machine lay exposed in the center of Delos Island, its dilapidated form resembling a withered old tree on the verge of collapse. Only the faintly visible circuitry testified to the fact that this colossal machine god was still alive.
Is this the true form of the Greek god of war?
Quinn observed the Moon Goddess's body up close and couldn't resist touching it. A feeling akin to caressing a woman's skin, or stroking steel, made Quinn linger. Ever since he began making puppets for Zeus and thus became a craftsman, he had been filled with curiosity about the existence of the Mecha God.
After all, what man could resist the allure of a giant robot?
Quinn's touch made Artemis blush slightly. "Stop touching me, hurry up and go inside. There's a small boat inside that can take you straight to the moon. I heard Aphrodite say that she helped you activate your divine blood. Now that you have divine blood in your body, you can walk normally on the moon."
Your touch upon Artemis's true form has made this renowned virgin goddess blush, but she refuses to acknowledge that this enormous machine is herself. Therefore, she ignores your transgression against the goddess's body and instead urges you...
Chapter 134
Hurry up and enter her body so she can take you on a journey to the heavens!
Urged on by the moon goddess, you dared not linger and stepped inside. Following Artemis's footsteps, you arrived at a place that looked like a boarding cabin commonly seen in science fiction movies. A small, capsule-like cabin, just big enough for two people, appeared before you. Artemis told you that this was the ship to the moon.
Faced with such a sci-fi visual style, you feel an inexplicable sense of jarring contrast, but this is Type-Moon Greece. The Olympian gods are noble alien mechanical beings, naturally different from the earthly bumpkins. You have no choice but to conform to their customs and obediently step inside. Artemis enters this so-called "ship" with you.
[You two, a man and a woman, are in close, intimate contact. Artemis's body is pressed tightly against yours, and the alluring goddess's body is incredibly captivating. Any normal Greek would likely lose control and commit the grave mistake of offending the goddess at this moment, but you remain calm and composed, treating her as if she were a machine.]
Artemis is extremely pleased with your performance, but she is also somewhat dissatisfied that you seem unmoved by her charm. Ah, that's women for you. Artemis has set you to special attention.
And so, you obediently came to the moon with Artemis.
This is your first time leaving Earth for the universe. The vast starry sky comes into view, and you are overwhelmed by the sight of the enormous celestial bodies and the massive stars. Compared to these celestial bodies, Earth is but an insignificant grain of sand in the vast sea of stars. You remain silent, while Artemis chatters on and on about the planets in the solar system, showing off her knowledge that far surpasses that of humans.
[You listened to Artemis's words and stored this knowledge deep in your mind. You gained a temporary buff—divine revelation from the moon. You gained mad knowledge, making it easier to create high-quality treasures. This state lasts until the end of this simulation.]
Finally, you arrived at the moon. Encouraged by Artemis, you stepped out of the spacecraft and discovered that you could actually "breathe" on the moon. More precisely, you felt something within your body awakening as you left the familiar environment. The nanomachines flowing through your body were acting like air converters, transforming some substances in the universe into the oxygen you needed, and your body was rapidly adapting to the gravitational environment on the moon.
[About five minutes later, thanks to your "robust" qualities, you adapted to the moon's gravity and began to walk freely on this satellite that accompanies Earth. Your adaptability amazed Artemis, who watched your every move on the moon with delight, as if you were watching her beloved pet frolicking in the wild, even if you did nothing, she could watch you for a whole day.]
[But soon, Artemis grew bored. It wasn't that she lost interest in you, but rather that her naturally restless nature made her a little impatient. During your time on the moon, you had taken up painting, recording every scene you could see. So, after you had painted seven or eight pictures of the universe, Artemis simply took a nap, only asking you to wake her when you planned to return to Earth.]
[You watch as the goddess enters the return capsule and falls asleep, knowing that your plan to seduce the girl has succeeded. Artemis is no longer concerned with your actions on the moon, and you can proceed with your original plan to search for the remains of a certain white giant on the moon. You begin your journey to the "far side of the moon."]
In the Type-Moon universe, every planet has a concept similar to a "back side" or an "inner sea," and the Moon is no exception. The place you're heading to is like Avalon—a location that ordinary people can't find, but those who have been there once can easily reach. Fortunately, you already have experience traveling to the sensitive areas of such planets, and before long, you've discovered the path to the Moon's inner sea.
You followed the map and entered Avalon in the same way you had gone there. However, the last time you were able to reach Avalon smoothly because its guardians released a large amount of water. This time, you were stopped, or more precisely, by something that looked like a human.
The path to the lunar inner sea is a landmass resembling a deep-sea coral reef; continuing down this path leads into the lunar inner sea.
After more than ten days of exploration, Quinn finally found the way in. However, as he began to dive into the planet's inner sea along the coral-covered path, an anomaly occurred.
"Hello, outsider, you should stop here and stop going any further."
The cold voice penetrated Quinn's brain and echoed directly within it.
A figure with long golden hair and naked body suddenly appeared in front of Quinn. Her lower body was connected to the ground of the moon, with only her upper body exposed, as if she were some kind of plant growing from the surface of the earth. But Quinn did not think that she was a harmless plant.
He could feel the terrifying magical energy emanating from the other party, a sense of oppression he had never felt from any of the Greek gods before. Looking into their eyes was like confronting the celestial bodies themselves.
With just one glance, Quinn was able to identify the other person's identity.
Aristotle is the representative of the strongest individual unit in the Type-Moon universe.
The author says:
Author's Note: PS: I took some time to adjust my sleep schedule, so I'll make up for the missed chapters with double updates from now on.
Chapter 122 Rome and the Moon are bound together.
What should I do if I sneak into someone's house to steal something and get caught by the homeowner? I need an urgent question online!
Quinn was embarrassed, and the thought of seeking advice from someone popped into his mind. He really didn't expect that he could evade Artemis but not the main body of the moon. To be honest, when he entered Avalon, he didn't see Gaia coming to cause trouble for him. How come he attracted the attention of UO as soon as he started to move on the moon?
Aristotle, UO, the strongest individual in the ecological niche of a planet, whose strength is equivalent to the total power of the entire celestial body, actually appeared in front of Quinn, making Quinn not dare to move at all.
As a daring time traveler, Quinn has the ability to discuss matters of great importance with the Greek gods, but he's not one to gossip about UO...
"Can we settle this? I didn't mean to do anything bad."
Quinn smiled and spoke in a humble tone. He didn't care whether his voice could be transmitted normally on the moon; he just wanted to express his thoughts at this moment.
Fortunately, this is Type-Moon, a world where the creators' underlying logic is based on romance. If Queen were on a set like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, facing a perfect being like Kars, he would probably be ridiculed by Kars. However, the girl facing Queen showed a puzzled expression.
"Reconcile what?" The voice of the girl, who could not be called human but had a normal human form, echoed in Quinn's mind, making Quinn realize that the other party could understand his words normally. "We have no conflict, outsider. I am just warning you not to go any further."
The fact that the Moon UO showed no hostility relieved Quinn, allowing him to focus on observing the other party more closely.
Arcueid.
After carefully observing the appearance of the person in front of him, Quinn had a name in mind. It was the name of one of the three main heroines of the Type-Moon universe, and also a top character on the Type-Moon power ranking. However, the person in front of him was not that heroine. They were only connected. To be more precise, she should be Arcueid's "prototype" - Zhu Yue, the celestial consciousness of the moon itself.
"You seem to...know something about me." Before Quinn could continue speaking, Lunar UO began to scrutinize him with a curious tone and gaze. She scanned Quinn's entire body, making him feel as if he were naked. "Hmm, very strange."
Chapter 135
"Strange, you're clearly an outsider, yet you have a similar aura to Earth's native species... That's quite interesting."
Quinn was immediately drenched in sweat.
What are they stirring up now?
“I’m also a native species of Earth,” Quinn retorted.
However, Lunar UO simply smiled and said, "Should I deal with this danger of yours?"
“You’re right, I am an alien,” Quinn said righteously.
Watching Quinn perform the chameleon act in front of her, Moon UO was not angry at all. Instead, her smile grew even wider. She seemed to enjoy the process of chatting with people and began to have an unusually strong desire to communicate. "Don't worry, I don't intend to do anything to you. It's just that the place you are going to is very dangerous. It is the sealed place of the Star Vanguard. If you rashly awaken that thing, I will be in a difficult situation."
“I know, I just wanted to find something there.”
Seeing that UO on the moon was so easy to talk to, Quinn immediately revealed his true purpose.
"Ah, you mean that alien mechanical sword?"
UO of the Moon spoke with a hint of sudden realization, but Quinn suspected that the other party already knew his purpose. However, he did not point it out and simply nodded.
"That thing is indeed still in the hands of the Star Trek Vanguard. I can help you get it, but why should I do that?"
"If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know." Quinn immediately understood the other party's implication and readily agreed.
"Hmm..." Moon UO pretended to ponder, "You're so weak that you can't really help me right now, but I think you have a lot of potential. How about this, if the Planetary Vanguard awakens one day in the future, you'll have to help me seal her away again, okay?"
Quinn frowned upon hearing this.
[The words of UO on the Moon make you uneasy. Her words remind you of Chekhov's Gun Theorem, which states that if a gun appears in the first scene of a movie, it will inevitably be fired in another scene. You feel that she is implying that the Planetary Vanguard will be revived, or even that she is doing it on purpose.]
After all, she is the Ultimate Origin of the Moon, and the reason the Type-Moon world is called the Type-Moon world is related to her. She is not only one of the top bosses in this world, but also the source of many stories.
[But you didn't refuse, because UO's words were very advantageous to you. If the Planetary Vanguard really awakened, you would definitely be the first to meet them and fight them to the death. After all, dying on the way to fight the Planetary Vanguard wouldn't be so bad as to be a tragic hero.]
You're even starting to look forward to the awakening of the Star Trek Vanguard.
[You agreed to Moon UO's proposal. She smiled broadly, and the next moment, a dazzling, tri-colored lightsaber, resembling the one from the Rainbow Class, appeared before your eyes.]
[With just one glance, you sensed the mysterious concept carried by this "sword." It was the very thing the God of War had entrusted you to find, and it was also the manifestation of the Noble Phantasm wielded by Attila, the Servant who was the embodiment of the remains of a Wandering Star Vanguard in FGO. That was the Sword of Mars.]
You thanked Moon UO for their assistance, and they stated frankly that you would repay them for this help. You were well aware of this, and you were very satisfied with this pure exchange of benefits, hoping for another opportunity to cooperate in the future.
[In response to your statement, Moon UO gave a smile you didn't understand.]
"We'll have a chance to meet again, outsider. Consider this an extra piece of advice: your actions are helping those alien machines restore their former functions. You wouldn't want them to notice the inconsistencies in you, would you? You'd better replenish your lack of spirituality as soon as possible, otherwise, as you become more powerful, your secret as an outsider will eventually be discovered."
With his final words of advice, the Moon UO vanished from Quinn's sight, leaving behind only coral reefs.
Where did you come from, you Eastern netizen? Why do you speak with such a strong yellow accent?
Looking at the spot where UO disappeared on the moon, Quinn almost blurted out his frustration, but considering that he was still on UO's territory, he didn't say anything.
But the words of the Moon UO were already imprinted in Quinn's mind. He recalled that when he first came to Greece, Athena refused to become his guardian because he lacked this so-called spirituality. At the time, he didn't take it too seriously, but now even the Moon UO was saying this...
Then Quinn had to take it seriously.
In fact, Quinn didn't mind if people knew he wasn't a native of Type-Moon. After all, this was Type-Moon, full of all sorts of monsters and outsiders. He was confident that even if people he knew knew he was an outsider, it wouldn't change their opinion of him.
But... what if completing this part makes my future actions more advantageous?
Then I'll have to try to complete it. Anyway, when I finish the God of War's commission, I'll get a new trait point, right?
Chapter 123 Hermes: I smell blood
You returned to the landing pod and woke Artemis, who was still dozing. The moon goddess awoke in a daze, her eyes still somewhat glazed, until she saw the sword of the god of war in your hand. She suddenly snapped out of it and looked at you with a mixture of grievance and realization in her eyes.
She realized that your purpose in going to the moon wasn't just to find inspiration, but the fact that you found the lost sword of Ares sent chills down her spine. She had many things to say, but ultimately couldn't find the words, because she found it difficult to judge whether your actions were right or wrong. However, Artemis was, after all, a goddess, and her temper was unpredictable, so she took her revenge on you severely.
[On the way back to Earth, she deliberately sped and drove recklessly, making you, the passenger, dizzy and your insides churning. Anyone else would probably have died on the way home, but luckily you made it through. However, as soon as you landed, you couldn't help but start vomiting. The severe motion sickness made Artemis next to you look like she had gotten her revenge.]
Seeing that you had been rebuffed, Artemis no longer pursued the matter of you concealing your intentions from the goddess, and you successfully left Delos and returned to Thrace.
Your arrival has brought great honor to the Thracians. The Thracian king has held a celebration for you, commemorating the founding of Rome and hoping to establish friendly relations with you. You naturally accepted the goodwill of this king of a warrior race, and you signed an alliance treaty, agreeing to stand together against a common enemy.
After signing these treaties, you returned to the God of War, drew his sword, and the God of War declared you his chosen one.
As Ares retracted his sword, you saw a blurry humanoid silhouette formed from a mass of mist begin to coalesce in the center of the temple. The figure expressed his gratitude to you, and you recognized the voice as that of Ares himself—though now, he should be called Mars.
Mars was overjoyed to have regained his long-lost concept of the "god of war." He promised that in the days to come, even if you did not believe in Him, He would protect you, your city and your country, all Romans would be His children, and Mars would live forever with the Roman warriors.
This is an incredibly valuable promise, one that you never expected Mars to treat you this way. So, you seize the opportunity to propose that Mars make a bet with Athena.
Mars is delighted with your plan to humiliate Athena, and he immediately offered his assistance. You only need to inform him when you are ready, and Mars will then challenge Athena.
You left Thrace satisfied and returned to Rome, awaiting Perseus's good news in search of Hermes.
As Quinn boarded the ship returning to Rome, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. His plan had now completed all the preliminary work; all that remained was for him to proceed.
Chapter 136
It's time to wait for the final catch, and before that, it's time to distribute the rewards.
Quinn looked at his current character interface, whose rich and varied traits far surpassed those when he first started playing the simulation. Now, he might become even stronger.
[Because you completed the commission contract "Sword of the War God", you gained 1 trait point and a land bonus. You selected "Romagna" as the bonus region. The lands you control in Romagna will gain the title of "Warrior's Nation". People and characters born in Romagna are more likely to acquire traits such as "Aspiring Swordsman", "Gunfighter", and "Tank Driver".]
[You choose to use 1 trait point, and you gain the trait "Acumen," increasing your Diplomacy, Military, Management, Strategy, and Knowledge by 1.]
Because you possess three heritable innate traits—"stunning beauty," "robust health," and "keen insight"—you acquire a unique personal trait called "Origin." If humanity were a computer, with thought and behavior as the program, then Origin is the underlying code that constitutes that program. No one can escape the influence of Origin, and you are no exception; however, you understand this more profoundly than most.
