Looking at the massive buildings around her, Asagami Fujino began to feel around like a child who had found a new toy. Gems of unknown structure, as well as unknown carvings, texts, and symbols on the buildings—all of this attracted Asagami Fujino.
Placing a hand on a gem decoration on a building, driven by curiosity, Asagami Fujino used the system's ability to recycle it. The next moment, a look of surprise appeared on her face; these gems were actually worth ten thousand points!
It didn't sound like much, but don't forget that these strange gems were everywhere in Rlyeh, and the one Asagami Fujino had just recycled was a relatively small one.
Just as Asagami Fujino forgot her original purpose and was ready to go all out to collect all the gems in Rlyeh and turn them into points, she suddenly stopped her movements and turned around quickly.
Behind her, an indescribably cute Little Loli floated in mid-air with her bare, flawless white feet. The Little Loli had beautiful long green hair with bat-wing hair accessories. Even her eyes were a gorgeous gold. She had pink, lustrous lips, a perfect curve at her chest, and jade-like arms exposed by her short-sleeved dress. Beneath the short skirt were legs that hadn't fully developed but could be played with for a lifetime. Asagami Fujino's heart began to beat wildly—even though Asagami Fujino no longer had a heart and had replaced it with a core, the core's rotation had sped up considerably!
A special feeling rippled through her heart. If she liked Touko because she had admired them through a screen before, then for the Little Loli in front of her, it was more like love at first sight!
Wait! Why was there a loli in Rlyeh? And! That green hair, could it be?!
Suppressing her extremely complex emotions, Asagami Fujino looked at the Little Loli in front of her and asked weakly, "Are you Cthulhu?"
The green-haired Little Loli nodded slightly, her golden eyes fixed on Asagami Fujino.
Asagami Fujino's mind exploded. Oh my god! It really is a Little Loli! Asagami Fujino didn't know what to say! Should she say that 'otaku' is truly a terrifying existence?
Even though she knew that the true form of this explosively cute Little Loli was a mountain-high combination of an octopus and a bat, looking at the Little Loli before her, Asagami Fujino's heart couldn't help but be moved.
"Thou art very special," the Cthulhu Loli spoke, her beautiful voice causing another ripple in Asagami Fujino's heart.
Oh my god! Whatever, even if the true form is scary, as long as there's love, nothing is a problem! I, Asagami Fujino, have decided today—I must abduct this Little Loli and take her back!
"Thou art very special," the Cthulhu Loli said once more, this time coming directly in front of Asagami Fujino, the distance between them nearly zero.
The Cthulhu Loli closed her eyes, her cute little nose twitching as she constantly sniffed the scent on Asagami Fujino. Seeing Kruus like this, Fujino couldn't help but think of a puppy sniffing its Master's scent.
"Blood." Cthulhu stopped and opened her eyes; her calm golden eyes actually showed an emotion called urgency.
Thinking of something, the curve of Asagami Fujino's lips widened. She extended her index finger, and a wound appeared instantly. Blood flowed from the wound, and Cthulhu, like a cat smelling fish, opened her small mouth and took Asagami Fujino's index finger inside.
As expected, her blood was useful to Cthulhu. Dripping her blood onto the magic circle earlier had been an experiment by Asagami Fujino. After all, it would be frustrating to work for nothing without a response from Cthulhu, so Fujino had specifically added a drop of her blood, gambling on whether her blood would attract Cthulhu. Now, it was clear that it did!
The blood being sucked felt itchy to Asagami Fujino, but not unpleasant. The movement of Cthulhu's little tongue in her mouth felt very comfortable. The blood was draining rapidly—so fast that even with Asagami Fujino's current body's blood production speed, it could barely keep up.
Just as Asagami Fujino was about to withdraw her finger, the Cthulhu Loli proactively stopped sucking. A faint blush crept onto her fair, cute face. Asagami Fujino suddenly realized that her 'Great Holy Sword' power hadn't been turned off. Usually, just skin contact would cause strong pleasure; the effect of deeper contact like blood was apparently hundreds of times stronger than skin contact. But did it work on Great Old Ones too?
Asagami Fujino looked at the faint blush on the Cthulhu Loli's face. It seemed to have an effect, but for a hundredfold effect to only cause a slight blush—she truly was a Great Old One.
The blush on the Cthulhu Loli's face soon faded, and her golden eyes continued to watch Asagami Fujino, though with a difference from before: surprise and curiosity appeared in her eyes simultaneously.
"Congratulations to the Host for completing a hidden achievement!"
The system, which hadn't made a sound for a long time, suddenly 'came back to life' today, nearly startling Asagami Fujino. She had thought the system wouldn't pop up again until that mission was completed, but who knew it would jump out today.
"System, what is going on?" Asagami Fujino asked.
"The Host has completed a hidden achievement, which is why the System has appeared." A familiar, synthesized electronic voice rang out.
"Achievement? There are still templates? Didn't you already remove the extra templates?"
"Replying to the Host, this is a hidden template. If the Host had not completed the hidden achievement, this template would not have been triggered," the System replied.
"What is this achievement? Is it related to Cthulhu?"
"Replying to the Host, this achievement is related to the Great Old Ones. The condition to complete this achievement is to form a contract with any one of the Great Old Ones."
"A contract? How come I don't feel anything?"
Just as Asagami Fujino finished asking, she suddenly felt an unusually cold sensation on the back of her right hand. Asagami Fujino immediately raised her right hand, and a strange mark appeared on the back of it, looking quite cool.
"System, what the hell is this contract?" Asagami Fujino asked hurriedly. If she had signed some messy contract that made her suffer a loss, she would definitely find a way to make the System pay.
"The Host's blood has many uses. Cthulhu absorbed the Host's blood, which is why the contract was formed. This contract allows the Host to gain the friendship of all the Great Old Ones. The more Great Old Ones you form a contract with, the stronger the effect, and the Host can command the servants possessed by the contracted Great Old Ones."
The servants under Cthulhu, if Asagami Fujino remembered correctly, should be the Deep Ones led by Dagon and Hydra.
"Replying to the Host, after forming a contract with the Host, the appearance of the Great Old Ones will be fixed, so the Host can rest assured and take action without any worries."
Hearing such heartwarming words from the System, Asagami Fujino felt that the System was practically her savior!
Previously, Asagami Fujino had worried that if she were having fun with Cthulhu Loli and she suddenly transformed into her true form, it would scare her to death. Now that was resolved, the only thing she was worried about was gone; it was simply wonderful!
"The Host still has a reward for completing the hidden achievement that has not been claimed. Do you wish to claim it now?" The System sent another notification.
There's more? Oh right! The contract was created because Cthulhu Loli drank her blood, it wasn't a System reward. She had almost gotten it confused.
"System, what is the reward?" Asagami Fujino asked.
"This mission reward is to acquire an ability similar to the Host's most powerful ability. Do you wish to extract it now?" the System said.
Asagami Fujino was stunned. The most powerful ability she possessed was undoubtedly Migeiko, which was also the foundation of Asagami Fujino's current strength. What could an ability similar to Migeiko possibly be? Asagami Fujino immediately became expectant and quickly said, "Extract!"
"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining..."
"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Taskmaster's ability!"
Holy crap! Asagami Fujino's heart exploded again! She didn't know how many times this had happened today.
The level of surprise brought by obtaining the Taskmaster's ability even surpassed the contract with Cthulhu.
Who was the Taskmaster? An incredibly powerful person in Marvel, though because of a face that was difficult to distinguish between male and female, they were jokingly called the "Cute Master" by the world.
Asagami Fujino's understanding of the Taskmaster came from a novel written by some great author she had read before, where the protagonist's cheat was obtaining the Taskmaster's ability.
The Taskmaster possesses the ability to copy and stack! As long as they act first, regardless of where they act, no matter how powerful or incredible the ability is, the ability will be instantly copied by the Taskmaster, and the ability will be instantly stacked countless times. While copying the power, it also copies the usage experience. It can not only copy the abilities of living beings, but even the abilities of items (like a stun gun) can be instantly copied.
For example, using the Taskmaster's ability to copy the power of a stun gun, as long as it goes through hundreds or thousands of times of ability stacking, a small amount of electricity can instantly turn into terrifying lightning capable of destroying the world!
The Taskmaster's ability is definitely the most BUG existence in Marvel comics. The person themselves even defeated the Living Tribunal and copied characters from the entire omniverse. Their strength is ridiculously powerful, almost becoming the new AAO.
Perhaps because the ability settings were too BUG, it led to difficulties in writing the later parts. In the end, the Taskmaster, comparable to the AAO, was inexplicably defeated by the Celestial Order's judge and sealed within the Living Tribunal. This point is also the most speechless; the Taskmaster, comparable to the AAO, was just sealed away so hastily.
The Taskmaster's ability is very similar to Migeiko. It is impossible to clearly distinguish which is stronger or weaker. The Taskmaster's ability can be strengthened to a terrifying degree just by instantaneous stacking, while Migeiko has a sense of accumulating potential, but it can't be helped that Migeiko possesses a strengthening ability. How terrifying the combination of the two would be!
"System, extract the ability!" Asagami Fujino said impatiently.
"Replying to the Host, since this ability is comparable to Migeiko, Migeiko's power will be temporarily unavailable during the ability fusion period. However, the ability to learn and copy can still be used normally. The ability fusion time is five hours. Do you wish to proceed with the fusion?"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!"
For the first time, Asagami Fujino felt that the System was dawdling.
"Start fusion!"
Following the System's prompt, a stream of pure white energy instantly merged into the core. The core seemed to be in an uproar, spinning at a speed that was hard to capture.
Although the core was spinning very fast, Asagami Fujino was not affected at all. She was just unable to use Migeiko, but other abilities were not affected.
"You..."
Cthulhu Loli came over again. Slightly different from before, this time she hung directly onto Asagami Fujino. Her little nose twitched. The more Asagami Fujino looked, the more she liked her; such a cute loli was simply wonderful.
Tremblingly, she reached out a hand and placed it on top of Cthulhu Loli's head. The soft touch, combined with the confused little look in Cthulhu Loli's eyes as she raised her head, made Asagami Fujino feel her nose getting a bit hot, as if something was about to flow out.
She quickly retracted her hand and dealt with it to avoid losing composure in front of Cthulhu Loli.
"System, can I take Cthulhu away from here?" Asagami Fujino suddenly thought that although she had formed a contract with Cthulhu, Cthulhu was still sealed in Rlyeh. Asagami Fujino was not sure if she could take her away. If she used astral transfer to open the seal, there was no guarantee she wouldn't be targeted by those Ancient Gods. The so-called Ancient Gods were the existences that sealed the Great Old Ones in the first place, and their strength was definitely not weaker than the Great Old Ones, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to seal the Great Old Ones. Although Asagami Fujino said she wasn't afraid after obtaining the Taskmaster's ability, being watched by an Ancient God was not a comfortable thing. Most importantly, Asagami Fujino didn't even know where the Ancient Gods were, so she couldn't eliminate the hidden danger even if she wanted to.
"Replying to the Host, after you form a contract with Cthulhu, you can take her out, but Cthulhu's power will be left in Rlyeh. Only when the seal is broken can Cthulhu's power be fully restored. And the Host's blood can silently erode and destroy the seal. Currently, the seal has been eroded by the Host's blood by about fifteen percent."
"In other words, Cthulhu now only has fifteen percent of her power at her peak?" Asagami Fujino asked.
"Replying to the Host, yes," the System replied.
Since she could take her out, Asagami Fujino didn't ask any further. Asagami Fujino didn't care about Cthulhu's strength, and she couldn't bear to let Cthulhu go out and fight others. Such a cute Little Loli should, of course, be kept at home and raised well! Later, when Illya is born, she'll just happen to have a companion.
A tug suddenly came from Asagami Fujino's sleeve; it was Cthulhu Loli.
"What's wrong?" Asagami Fujino smiled.
"Go." Cthulhu Loli only said one word.
Go? Asagami Fujino was just thinking about whether to ask Cthulhu Loli if she wanted to go out with her, but now it was fine; Cthulhu Loli had spoken first, and her heart was happy again.
"Okay, I'll take you out with me." Responding to Cthulhu Loli, Asagami Fujino's face was full of smiles.
However, if she was going to leave, it wasn't now. There were still so many gems in Rlyeh that she hadn't recycled yet! These were all naked points! How could she waste them!
"Cthulhu, can you give me all these gems in Rlyeh?" Asagami Fujino pointed to the green gems on the buildings not far away and said.
Cthulhu Loli tilted her head cutely, not understanding why her contractor wanted these useless stones. But Cthulhu Loli clearly didn't think too much, or perhaps she didn't want to think about it. With a gentle wave of her little hand, the entire Rlyeh seemed to come alive and began to shake violently.
The green gems in the ancient city of Rlyeh moved all at once. Whether embedded in the buildings or in the stones, the green gems all floated into the air, and then one by one they drifted to the ground. In a short time, the pile of green gems was already the size of a normal mountain, and it was still increasing rapidly.
Asagami Fujino's fists clenched involuntarily! Good heavens! How many points would this be! Asagami Fujino could foresee what a terrifying level the points would reach after recycling all these gems in the ancient city of Rlyeh.
"System, come out and work! Recycle them all for me!" Asagami Fujino said to the System, almost shouting.
"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 10,000 points from recycling."
"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 15,000 points from recycling."
"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 40,000 points from recycling."
The System's notification sounds kept ringing in her head. Asagami Fujino didn't dislike it at all; the whole person became elated.
"?" Cthulhu Loli's golden eyes looked suspiciously at her strange contractor. The cute appearance directly made the ecstatic Asagami Fujino hug Cthulhu Loli in her arms, rubbing her cheeks against Cthulhu Loli's cheeks non-stop. Two kinds of happiness were enjoyed at the same time at this moment~.
The points were rising crazily, perhaps even faster than a rocket. The small mountain formed by the green gems was still piling up, yet it was also rapidly decreasing.
Fujino held Cthulhu Loli in her arms, a happy smile on her face. Watching the points rise rapidly and feeling the softness of the little girl in her arms, this might just be the happiest moment of her life.
In the Type-Moon World, the women had not left and were still waiting in place. Eight hours had passed since Fujino disappeared into the spatial rift. The night had faded, revealing a beautiful morning glow, but no one was in the mood to appreciate the scenery.
If not for the seeds of Fujino's magical power within Touko and Aoko, which allowed them to determine if Fujino was still alive, these people would have long since found a way to reopen the magic circle to look for her.
"He woke up again." Aoko frowned as she looked at Kiritsugu Emiya, who showed faint signs of waking up.
"Hit him harder this time! Why don't we just break his neck!" Touko said coldly.
"Just kill him." This was said by Lia.
"Bury him in the dirt." This was said by Scáthach.
Fujino had been gone for so long that even though the others had mentalities far superior to ordinary people, they were starting to get a bit restless.
"Bang!" With a heavy thud, Kiritsugu Emiya, who was about to wake up, was knocked unconscious by a stick Aoko had found from somewhere. Fujino had said this guy was somewhat useful, so Aoko didn't want to kill him, and knocking him out was better. This time, Aoko had deliberately used extra force; he probably wouldn't be waking up for a day or two.
Throwing away the stick in her hand, Aoko looked up at the sky again, hoping that Fujino would return soon.
In Rlyeh, all the green gems had finally been collected by Fujino. Looking at the massive amount of points in the shop, Fujino was overjoyed. Now that she had such a large sum of points, Fujino would have to make some changes to her original plan.
"We're leaving." Stroking Cthulhu Loli's hair, Fujino and Cthulhu Loli had gotten along quite well while the system was collecting the gems. Perhaps because of the contract, Cthulhu was also quite clingy to Fujino.
Cthulhu Loli nodded gently, then looked up into Fujino's eyes and whispered, "Blood."
"Do you want to drink blood?" Without thinking too much, Fujino extended a finger.
However, Cthulhu Loli shook her head, spread her arms, and made a hugging gesture. Feeling a bit puzzled, Fujino still bent down and took Cthulhu Loli into her arms.
Cthulhu Loli leaned her head toward Fujino's neck and opened her mouth, biting directly into it. Her teeth pierced Fujino's skin. Fujino subconsciously wanted to push Cthulhu Loli away, but she forcibly held back. Her blood was being sucked by Cthulhu, making a slurping sound. However, this time Cthulhu Loli didn't drink blood for long and soon released Fujino's neck. Cthulhu Loli stuck out her little tongue and licked the wound she had bitten open. Fujino shuddered instantly, her cheeks flushing slightly.
"All done." Cthulhu Loli said softly.
"Mm." Fujino responded somewhat unnaturally; Cthulhu's actions just now made her feel strange.
Without thinking further, Fujino activated the power of world-traveling and located the Type-Moon World. After selecting her target, Fujino disappeared from the cold and lifeless Rlyeh while holding Cthulhu Loli.
The moment Fujino disappeared, in another world, with a dim sky, freely erupting volcanic craters, and lifeless dilapidated cities, it was a scene of total immersion.
On a towering building, a girl with long silver-white hair and a conspicuous ahoge growing on her hair sat on the edge of the rooftop. She was wearing a black and white checkered maid outfit, and her beautiful legs, wrapped in white silk stockings under the absolute territory, swayed gently. She hummed an ambiguous little tune.
Suddenly, the girl's movements stopped. Her green pupils looked toward the sky, as if piercing through the clouds to look into the depths of the universe.
"Cthulhu's aura? Isn't that guy still inside Rlyeh? How could..."
The cute girl said in confusion, a light flashing rapidly in her green eyes: "Strange, there is clearly still hundreds of thousands of years until the stars align and the seal is broken, so how could Cthulhu's aura appear outside of Rlyeh?"
"Interesting! Truly interesting!" The cute girl stood up, an uncontrollable smile on her face.
"I've finally found something interesting. Cthulhu I'm coming to find you"
In the Type-Moon World, the women all seemed to sense something and stood up simultaneously, staring ahead. The space suddenly vibrated, and a huge spatial rift appeared in mid-air. A familiar figure slowly walked out of the spatial rift. At that moment, the hearts of all the women finally settled.
"I'm back!"
