The skill evolved from Asterios' strong desire and his inherent skill [Devil of Nature], as well as Lin Qi's own characteristics, can enable the owner's various values to break through the limits of what humans can achieve.

Return to Chaldea safely.
Like the previous procedure, Lin Qi first used Chaldea's equipment to check his physical condition.
Muscle strain and physical exhaustion are already very common. Then there are the wounds on the arms, ribs, collarbones and other parts caused by Hector, which are all cut-related damage.
Apart from this, there was almost no other injury worth mentioning on Lin Qi's body.
It’s not that Lin Qi values his life, it’s mainly because he is really good at defense.
After all, [Escaper] is not as difficult to use as before, and the defensive power of the treasure is also greater than before.
In addition, in this singularity battle, except for the initial fight with Blackbeard when Lin Qi's side was at a disadvantage in numbers, they had a numerical advantage later on. It is not surprising that there was such an effect.
As always, Lin Qi relaxed completely after returning to Chaldea. He no longer had to pay attention to his surroundings as he did in the singularity.
Drawing a recovery rune with his backhand and applying it to himself, Lin Qi slowly walked along the corridor towards the central control room.
Rune's recovery effect is very strong. Even if Lin Qi doesn't use it well, it won't take much time to recover from this injury.
In other words, ordinary injuries are not considered serious to a magician with a little background. Unless the injury is fatal or serious, such as a broken kidney or a broken head, the magician can basically recover to normal within a few days.
After all, magic, in a sense, is a secret technique that shortens the execution process of work.
For example, creating a fireball the size of a basketball is actually something that ordinary humans can do, but ordinary people need to find combustible materials, ensure that there are enough combustible materials, and take out lighters or matches to ignite the fire. Only after going through a complete process can they create a flame the size of a basketball.
In contrast, a magician can shorten the process to just one or two steps, or perhaps create the same amount of fire by simply snapping his fingers.
Therefore, the simpler it is for humans to do something, the less mysterious and less powerful the magic that can accomplish that thing quickly will be.
By analogy, the more difficult it is for humans to do something, the more mysterious and powerful the magic that can accomplish it quickly will be.
This is one of the underlying logics of magic.
The only skill that Lin Qi has that can prove that he can still be considered a magician is the rune. It was discovered and created by Odin, the great god in Norse mythology. It is basically not the same system as modern magic, and its power is much stronger than ordinary magic.
Ordinary magic can shorten the recovery time of this kind of injury to several days, not to mention Lin Qi who inherited the C-dog skill level.
"It's about the same as last time. I should be able to recover to full condition tomorrow morning..."
"But I remember that there is Jack the Ripper in the fourth singularity, London. If the conditions of 'fog', 'night', and 'female' are met, the Noble Phantasm and its stats will increase. If that's the case, it would be better to enter the singularity at noon tomorrow."
Although Lin Qi is not a woman and Jack the Ripper does not pose a great threat to him, it is still better for him to be more cautious about the assassin.
"For now, let me write in my diary."
Lin Qi gradually transformed diary writing from a boring activity to a habit. Whenever he came back from the singularity, Lin Qi would write a summary.
However, Lin Qi's diary writing cannot be considered serious. Not only does he like to play with memes, he also likes to write a little here and a little there. Most of the time, there is no logic. It mainly highlights his casualness and he writes whatever he thinks of.
Sitting in the main seat in the control room, Lin Qi picked up his pen and began to write:
"The third singularity, the golden deer and the stormy night."
"The determination of the location of the soul particle transfer was a great success!"
"I thought I would land on a vast ocean where I couldn't see any people or ships. I was ready to suffer the fate of the wyvern again, but I didn't expect to land right in front of the most important lady in the entire singularity, Drake..."
"Note: Drake is a beautiful big sister. Like Arthur and Nero, she is not a male as in history. But don't take the big sister as a woman. She is a male among females, a man among women. She is also very generous, likes adventure, has many ideas, and is the eternal big sister and the eternal captain of the Golden Deer."
"…New crew member - Lin Qi joins the team, bounty 50, a pirate…"
"...The pirates are very enthusiastic, but their lives are a little unbridled. I think it's not pleasant to rant about it..."
"I encountered my first opponent. Although his strength was not as strong as the final stage, Captain Drake and I were the only servants on our side, so the situation was not favorable..."
"Hector is very difficult to deal with. Even if I don't use my full strength, I can only hold him back at my limit."
"Note: If this seemingly harmless uncle is an enemy, you must not take him lightly!"
"As for Blackbeard... he's a little perverted and a little difficult to deal with... what? You ask me why I don't have any other comments? Sorry, that's the biggest impression I have."
"...In the storm, the Golden Deer took off again. This is our escape route!"
"Justice came from heaven and smashed the roof of the house. I almost lost one of the angry bulls to death, but Captain Neon came on board and threatened 'Little Loli' and successfully avoided a fight..."
"With Asterios and Euryale joining us, our combat power has increased dramatically. I have a bold idea..."
"…The plan failed. The matching mechanism took effect. The robot uncle Hector suddenly realized and snatched the Holy Grail, and attracted the final boss Jason and others…"
"——Hector, you deserve to die!!"
"...strategic shift. This time the ship was underwater. The Golden Deer successfully completed three major achievements: flying into the sky, entering the sea, and sailing on dry land."
僺。
"But apart from sailing on dry land, I really don't want to do anything else again..."
"To replenish our combat power, Moon Goddess Artemis, as I expected, she is not much stronger than a regular servant..."
“It’s my first time sleeping on a boat. It’s new and fun!”
"I was kicked awake by [Lao Deng] in the middle of the night. I was unhappy."
"...We all acted at night. It was not a coincidence. We were prepared. But Hercules was as strong as a monster. We tried our best but could not defeat him..."
"... I won in the end, and the reward from the goddess is so sweet, I love it!"
At the end of writing, Lin Qi hesitated and looked back at his previous comments on Joan of Arc and Nero.
Will this make me seem frivolous and a scumbag?
"Forget it. I've already written it like that before, so this one won't make any difference!"
Lin Qi just threw away the jar and wrote at the end:
"Eurielie is very beautiful and cute. I want another kiss if possible!"
"The jade feet are also very beautiful, paired with those exquisite sandals, they are so beautiful!"
"Note: His Majesty Nero seems to like gold a little too much. The boots he wears during battle are really... In short, this is disrespectful to his own feet!"
……

Chapter 78: Strategy for the Fourth Singularity—Begin!
"Forgive me, Your Majesty Nero, it's mainly because your boots are really ugly!"
After Lin Qi finished writing, he clasped his hands together and prayed silently.
Undoubtedly, Lin Qi likes Nero very much, but even though he likes her, he really can't appreciate the classic red Saber outfit.
Especially those inexplicable golden boots!
"If I have the chance, I will buy His Majesty Nero a pair of suitable and beautiful shoes."
Recalling the scene in the last singularity where Nero danced barefoot with him, Lin Qi made up his mind.
This is the end of the diary.
Lin Qi also started to worry.
Lin Qi's thinking would be clearer when writing a diary, and it was basically at this time that he would sort out the information he knew.
In fact, Lin Qi certainly can’t do what other novel protagonists do, who will be in which place and know all the plots clearly. Those who can do that are gods.
He just roughly knows the flow of the plot, and what servants the enemy has and what servants his own side has.
Perhaps the only thing worth mentioning is that Lin Qi used to play FGO very seriously and has a general understanding of many servants, especially their Noble Phantasms and main inherent skills.
Even if I forget, I can still guess a little from the information Chaldea already has.
After all, every treasure must have a traceable origin. As long as you know clearly what is commendable in the other party's legend, combined with Lin Qi's experience in playing games and his understanding of them, it will not be a problem to guess most of it.
Of course, this is actually enough to cheat. If the original Chaldea went there without exploring for a day or two first, they would be completely in the dark.
If you encounter some tricky servants, it is possible that you will be temporarily defeated.
……
Soon, Lin Qi wrote down all the information he knew in the notebook.
Then he stared blankly at the end of the text, which listed all of Goetia's abilities.
Hundreds of millions of rays of light that rival the holy sword Excalibur, anti-summoning, the highest level of magic formation, the Temple of Time...
The singularity in London is actually not that difficult, it is not even as strong as the third singularity.
But it is also an extremely critical singularity, because it finally leads to the mastermind behind the burning of humanity: Goetia.
——Although Lin Qi probably knows him better than Goetia himself now, there is no need for this meaningless introduction to the plot.
In the game, it may just be to pave the way for the later plot in advance, allowing Goetia to come out to relieve himself and show up.
But now?
If they really meet, who can guarantee that he won't kill Lin Qi on impulse?
Goetia's appearance brought with it a crushing sense of oppression. With just four demon pillars gathered together, he was able to beat Mordred, who was definitely on the stronger side of the first-class level, without any chance of fighting back.
Although Mordred was already a battle-hardened servant at that time, there was not only Mordred himself present, but also Sakata Gintoki and three magician servants helping him.
As for Goetia, who defeated this lineup, there is no need to say more about his strength, right?
"No, I can't put all my hopes on Goetia's mood!"
After thinking it all through, Lin Qi made a decision.
"…But in this case, we can only use the method we tried to use last time but failed. We must take the Holy Grail as quickly as possible and leave for Chaldea before Goetia arrives at the London singularity."
"Oh, I hope it will succeed..."
Lin Qi sighed and prayed silently in his heart.
The analysis was complete, and Lin Qi now had nothing to do.
Occasionally giving himself a rune to recover, Lin Qi just sat on the chair with his head propped up, staring blankly ahead.
I do not know how long it has been.
Lin Qi suddenly wrote a line of words at the end of the page -
[Do I really have the ability to defeat Goetia? ]
Looking at the line of words in silence, Lin Qi slowly crossed it out.
"Ugh……"
Lin Qi slumped weakly on the back of the chair, his long sigh echoing in the empty Chaldea.
……
……
Noon the next day.
"set off!"
Lin Qi, wearing a new set of standard combat uniform, entered the spirit particle transfer cabin.
After two skillful operations, Lin Qi turned into a ray of light and disappeared in Chaldea again.
When Lin Qi came back to his senses, he found himself in a complex of modern buildings shrouded in thick fog.
This is the fourth singularity, London.
Although it once had the nickname of Fog City, the scenery that appeared in front of Lin Qi was a bit too stereotyped.
From where he was standing, the fog was so thick that he couldn't even see his own feet!
Seeing this somewhat creepy scene, Lin Qi dared not delay any longer. He immediately summoned out his own flag and held it tightly in his hand.
At the same time, he looked around vigilantly.
