193: Chapter 193 Deep-Sea Computer Paradise—SE.RA.PH

"Good heavens… that's the deepest part of the Mariana Trench!"

Da Vinci exclaimed in disbelief, "SE.RA.PH actually ran off into the future of 2030?!"

"That's right!" BB tapped the screen playfully with her pointer. "I dragged that boring base to 2030, and in the deepest trench on Earth, I used its wreckage and incredible data materials to build a flawless—[Deep Sea Cyber Paradise SE.RA.PH]!"

"Oh, by the way, I hear you poor wretches are still searching the whole world for the remnants of the 'Demon God Pillar' that escaped from the Temple of Time?"

Upon hearing the words "Demon God Pillar," the lecherous smiles on the players' faces vanished instantly.

"What a pity, you don't need to waste your effort looking anymore."

"That poor Demon God Pillar is currently locked deep inside the Cyber Paradise, being toyed with by me as a battery pet to provide energy~ ☆"

BB turned back around, pointing her pointer directly at everyone outside the screen, her purple eyes flashing with a dangerous light.

"If you want to rescue your oil field base, then come find me at the very bottom of the deep sea!"

"I'll be waiting for you all at the end of the amusement park, Seniors~ ☆!"

Just as PD and the players were filled with righteous indignation, grabbing their gear to prepare for a big fight.

Da Vinci's voice came through at just the right moment:

"Masters, wait a moment! Unfortunately, although Sheba has observed images of the future, we are completely unable to Rayshift to 2030!"

"Huh? Why?" PD's enthusiasm was doused like a bucket of cold water, and he immediately became anxious.

"Because that is the future, and the future is uncertain."

"A future that has not yet been witnessed by history cannot be proven to exist, and naturally, no teleportation anchor points can be established!"

Hearing this hardcore sci-fi theory, the viewers in the livestream were stunned.

That's true; "taking a peek at the future" through an observation mirror and transporting a physical body to the future are two completely different things.

You can go to the past, but how do you go to a future full of uncertainty?

"My, my, what stubborn old humans."

BB on the big screen covered her mouth and giggled, as if mocking Chaldea's incompetence.

"If the future cannot be proven... then what about me, the high-level AI of the Moon Cell—BB-chan, currently communicating with you old relics from 2030!"

"My existence, the cross-temporal interference I am exerting on you right now, isn't that the best proof that '2030 exists'?"

"This is the backdoor I specifically left for you to travel to the future~"

When the players all over the internet heard this explanation, their scalps tingled instantly!

"Holy crap!!! This setting is absolutely brilliant!"

"Forcing proof of the future's existence through her own interference?! Is this the power of a high-level AI!"

"A provocation! This is a naked provocation!"

"Too arrogant! She's even keeping a Demon God Pillar as a pet? Brothers, grab your weapons, let's go into the trench and spank this arrogant junior!"

PD was also so excited that he slammed the table, stopped eating his burger, and immediately clicked on the event entrance.

Just then, Chaldea's internal communication channel connected, and the steady voice of Special Consultant Sherlock Holmes came through.

"Masters, please remain calm."

Sherlock Holmes had clearly already conducted a quick analysis of the intrusion just now. "The opponent's spiritron composition is extremely unique and carries very strong characteristics of the 'Moon Cell'."

"For this deep-sea infiltration, I strongly suggest that you bring along Servants who have previously participated in the 'Fate/EXTRA' parallel world calculation."

"They possess rich experience in countering this kind of 'high-level AI'."

Hearing this obvious "support tip," PD was delighted on the spot.

"Bring FE Servants? I know how to do this!"

PD unhesitatingly opened his gleaming, fully-equipped roster that he had spent hundreds of thousands to build.

"Battle Royale only lets you bring one, but this event dungeon lets you bring an entire squad!"

He waved his hand grandly.

In the first slot, he directly placed the one who was just eating noodles—Nero!

In the second slot, he placed the Archer-class powerhouse—Red A!

In the third slot, he even shoved in a top-tier Caster-class support with fluffy fox ears and a tail—Tamamo-no-Mae!

Looking at this top-tier setup that could be called the "Moon Cell Gods of War," PD put his hands on his hips, feeling so smug he was about to fly to the sky.

"See that, brothers? This is the foundation brought by the power of money!"

"Fully maxed out! A pure lineup of Moon Cell veterans!"

"That little hacker girl named BB, even if she has set up some inescapable net, in front of my fully-equipped god-tier lineup, it's just a matter of one round of Noble Phantasm carpet bombing!"

The audience in the livestream also heaped praise:

"President P's lineup is indeed too luxurious; the sense of security is maxed out!"

"Bringing these three bodyguards into the sea, BB will probably be crying and begging for mercy from her Seniors."

"Let's go! Let's see how President P steamrolls the Deep Sea Paradise!"

"Alright!"

PD walked spiritedly to the [Rayshift Coffin] in the center of Chaldea and lay down without hesitation.

As the protective shield slowly closed, he looked at the three golden-glowing top-tier Servant icons on the holographic panel, a confident smile curling the corner of his mouth.

"Max-level heavy hitters escorting me, the advantage is mine!"

"Chaldea system, Rayshift, target—the deepest part of the Mariana Trench, Deep Sea Cyber Paradise!"

"Launch!!!"

[Spiritron calculation ready.]

[All systems go.]

A dazzling white light instantly swallowed PD's vision, carrying his brimming confidence and passion as he dove headfirst into the unknown dark deep sea.

[Rayshift—Complete.]

As the last bit of white light on his retina dissipated, PD stepped firmly onto the hard ground.

"Heh heh! Hacker girl of the deep sea, are you ready to face judgment!"

Just as he landed, PD immediately struck a tactical commander pose that he considered incredibly cool and authoritative, letting out an arrogant roar.

"Come out! My Red Tyrant! My Nameless Swordsman! And my Good Wife Fox!"

"Use your Noble Phantasms to plow this place flat!"

However...

One second passed.

Five seconds passed.

The surroundings were deathly silent, with only a faint cold wind blowing by.

The three golden figures that PD imagined, radiating earth-shattering auras and protecting him in the center like stars surrounding the moon, simply did not appear!

"Huh? Did it lag?"

PD was stunned, and he looked down somewhat stiffly at the back of his hand and his tactical terminal.

Gray.

The formation panel, which should have been lit up with the icons of the three max-level Servants, was now all a glaring gray, representing "Disconnected"!

Not only that, even the communication signal between him and the Chaldea control room had turned into a faint dial tone!

"What the?! Where's my wife?! Where are my heavy hitters?!"

PD was completely panicked now, spinning around in circles like a fat guy who had lost his toy. "Old Thief Gu! Where the hell did you hide the fully-equipped lineup I worked so hard to bring down here?!"

After a brief moment of shock, the viewers in the livestream instantly burst into hysterical laughter.

"Hahahaha! President P is confused!"

"Going out with max-level god-tier gear, and getting your account hacked right after leaving the newbie village? Is that even allowed?!"

"A classic switcheroo! I knew Old Thief Gu wouldn't let you steamroll through so comfortably!"

Just as PD was wailing continuously, sweating profusely with anxiety.

"Bzzt..."

In mid-air, a cold, emotionless mechanical broadcast sound suddenly rang out.
