One day later.
Everything was ready. To quickly resolve this Sixth Singularity, which could deviate from the historical timeline at any moment, everyone entered their pods.
The only difference from last time was the addition of Da Vinci.
Da Vinci.
Leonardo da Vinci.
Like Tesla, she was a creative genius known as a Pioneer of the Stars.
Her Class was Caster, a Mage—or rather, a Mage who used machines.
"All pods are closed. Everyone is ready."
"Good. Begin Spiritron Conversion!"
"Spiritron Conversion initiated!"
"Confirming location! Middle East, 1273 AD!"
"Beginning transfer!"
*Whoosh!*
"Transfer complete!"
As Spiritron Conversion progressed, everyone was transported to a desert filled with swirling sand.
Mo Shuying looked at the boundless desert around him, then at the others.
"Hmm, no one's missing."
Everyone was present, indicating that Spiritron Conversion was successful. Now, they needed navigation.
"Romani, which way do we go?"
All they could see was endless desert, with the sun directly overhead, making it impossible to discern direction.
"Hello, hello, signal connected, initiating various scans. Can everyone hear me?"
Dr. Roman's voice came through. Mo Shuying waved, indicating he could hear.
"??? Cough. According to the scan results, there's a small oasis about ten kilometers east of your current position, to Mash's right. It also has a Geomantic Vein, so you can set up a summoning circle there."
After Dr. Roman finished speaking, everyone nodded at each other. They had no choice but to go check it out first.
"Perfect. I can also test the effectiveness of the Mana condensation device. The Mana density here isn't very high. I wonder what it'll be like near the oasis."
Da Vinci frowned. The amount of Mana in the air at this Singularity seemed different from what she had expected; it wasn't much.
"Let's go. Ten kilometers isn't far. Gilles, summon Vimana."
Mo Shuying nodded and, after pinpointing the direction, spoke to Child Gil.
However, Child Gil frowned and pointed at the sandstorm in the sky.
"Although Vimana isn't afraid of sandstorms, these sandstorms contain a large amount of Mana, and I can even sense magical beast reactions. If we travel by Vimana, we might be attacked by magical beasts."
Child Gil's omniscience was suppressed once again. These sandstorms were like the mists in previous Singularities, hindering his perception.
"Magical beasts?"
Mo Shuying looked up. The sandstorm was too thick, making the sky and ground appear hazy, so he couldn't see clearly.
But if Child Gil said they were there, it was almost certainly true.
"Alright, then we'll walk."
Since they couldn't cut corners, they would have to walk.
But just then.
"Heehee~ Hehehe~ Hahahahaha~"
Da Vinci covered her forehead with her hand and burst into wild laughter. Everyone looked over. Once all eyes were on her, Da Vinci reached behind her and pulled!
*Clatter!*
A pile of parts spilled out, and a wheel rolled to Mo Shuying's feet.
"This is… a car?"
Mash asked, surprised.
Da Vinci nodded proudly.
"To be precise, it's an All-Terrain Multi-Purpose Vehicle. Give me five minutes, and I'll assemble it."
With that, Da Vinci began her performance. In less than five minutes, a versatile desert vehicle was assembled, with only one wheel left to attach. Da Vinci walked over, picked up the wheel from Mo Shuying's feet, and then paused, seeing Mo Shuying standing barefoot in the sand. This was a desert! It should be scorching hot!
"Aren't your feet hot?"
"Huh? No, they're not."
Please. With Mo Shuying's current armor, unless it was a Servant's Noble Phantasm, nothing could really hurt him. Fifty-degree sand was nothing.
"Amazing, amazing. You're truly the most incredible."
Da Vinci walked back with an impressed look, then, once the wheels were on, she gestured with her hands over the car as if scattering flowers.
"Ta-da! This is my All-Terrain Multi-Purpose Vehicle! With extra seating, it can hold eight people! Everyone, get in! I'm about to drive!"
Da Vinci hopped into the driver's seat. Mash's eyes lit up as she leaned closer; she had no resistance to this kind of thing.
Black Lancer Alter also showed an admiring expression after getting in the car.
"So soft. Much more comfortable than riding a horse."
Mo Shuying sat beside Black Lancer Alter. He smiled but didn't speak, knowing they would soon find out whether the car or a horse was better.
"Alright, alright, everyone put on these masks and glasses, we're about to go!"
Da Vinci handed out masks and windproof glasses to everyone. With a shout, she started the All-Terrain Multi-Purpose Vehicle!
*"Rumble rumble chug chug chug chug!"*
An engine sound, very familiar to Mo Shuying, rang out. Just as Mo Shuying felt a flicker of doubt, the All-Terrain Multi-Purpose Vehicle shot forward with a whoosh! Its speed startled Mo Shuying!
And what scared Mo Shuying even more was…
"Da Vinci! Wrong way! Go this way!!"
An oasis is the source of life in the desert, where life in the desert depends on it to survive.
Previously, Mo Shuying hadn't fully grasped this statement, wondering what kind of life could exist in the desert—cacti or lizards, one or two?
However, today, he understood its meaning.
"These guys… if I remember correctly, they should be called Sphinxes, right?"
Mo Shuying frowned, looking at the monsters surrounding the oasis, all of them sleeping soundly.
These were large creatures, about ten meters tall when standing, with the body of a lion and the face of a human, and a pair of large wings on their backs.
From a distance, one could sense the immense Mana within these massive creatures. In fact, they could no longer be called mere monsters; they were Phantasmal Beasts, Divine Beasts—extremely powerful.
"Why are so many Sphinxes gathered here? Isn't this the Middle East? Shouldn't these guys be from Egypt?"
Da Vinci looked confused. Just then,
"Master, at your three o'clock, there's a Servant reaction."
Child Gil spoke. It was worth noting that ever since Da Vinci started the vehicle, they had lost contact with Chaldea; chaotic Mana was blocking communications.
"A Servant?"
Mo Shuying squinted, trying to see through the sandstorm, but he couldn't.
At that moment, he envied those with Clairvoyance, like Arjuna's Clairvoyance. Although his Clairvoyance wasn't high-level, it was sufficient, and crucially, it allowed him to see through things!
Uh, seeing through things is just for dealing with obstructed situations, not for other uses, slurp…
"I'll go check. You all hide. Don't come out yet."
Mo Shuying couldn't see clearly for a moment, so he jumped out of the car, activated Presence Concealment, and walked over.
Through the sandstorm, Mo Shuying saw several people dressed in a familiar way.
Black tight-fitting clothes, white skull masks on their faces—wasn't this the Hassan Army!
More accurately, these were the clones of Hassan of the Hundred Faces. Mo Shuying couldn't remember their exact names; he thought there were over eighty of them.
