Miracle Summoner

As a holy site of faith, Jerusalem has been destroyed by foreign invaders and rebuilt multiple times throughout history. It stands as a city both renowned and beleaguered by its destiny, enduring numerous wars.

Among these historical events, the Crusades represent a series of iconic military campaigns.

These were religious military operations authorized by the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, initiated by Western European feudal lords and knights under the pretext of reclaiming lands occupied by Muslim Arabs. The Crusades consisted of nine campaigns over nearly two centuries, rivaling even the Hundred Years' War in duration.

Because the cross is the symbol of Christianity, every crusader wore a cross insignia on their chest and arms. Thus, they were called Crusaders, and the campaigns became known as the Crusades.

At the time, Jerusalem, which originally belonged to the Roman Catholic Church, had fallen into the hands of Islam. To reclaim this holy site, the Roman Catholic Church launched multiple Crusades.

However, the campaigns were not exclusively against Islam. For example, during the Fourth Crusade, the target was the Byzantine Empire, which followed the Eastern Orthodox Church. In the territories they conquered, the Crusaders established numerous Crusader states, the largest being the Kingdom of Jerusalem, along with entities like the Principality of Antioch and the County of Tripoli. These endeavors earned the Crusades enduring recognition in the Catholic world, with numerous clerics and later church chroniclers documenting and celebrating these events, praising Christ as if recounting miracles.

Simultaneously, these wars and the subsequent establishment of the Latin East profoundly impacted the entire Eastern Mediterranean, akin to a stone creating ripples in a vast pond. They drew intense attention from all sides—Byzantines, Armenians, Turks, Arabs—and prompted historians from various religious backgrounds and social standings to document the events in detail, offering lessons and reflections.

In 1272, the Ninth Crusade concluded, and Western nations withdrew from Jerusalem, marking the end of this epochal conflict.

In other words, any issue arising during the Crusades era could have immense implications for human history.

Thus, as a Singularity, this is a highly fitting era.

The problem is...

"The Sixth Singularity is different from the previous five."

Roman's expression grew serious.

It wasn't just Roman; even Mash, Olga Marie, and Da Vinci's faces turned grim.

Rozen could understand their reactions.

As previously mentioned, among the seven Singularities, the Sixth and Seventh Singularities were far more unstable than the first five. Observing these two required Chaldea to exhaust its resources, and only now had the observation of the Sixth Singularity been completed.

"During the observation process, the results transmitted from Sheba were deeply unsettling. Not only was the observation itself unstable, but the era occasionally appeared inconsistent, and there were even times when it was completely unobservable. Do you know what this means?"

Da Vinci spoke in a conversational tone, yet her words described an extremely dire situation.

"It means that the Sixth Singularity is gradually becoming a void, with signs of detaching from the flow of human history and becoming an independent entity."

Until now, the Singularities observed by Rozen and others were the result of the Holy Grails created by Solomon disrupting the flow of history, causing chaos in those eras.

But this time, the Singularity itself was slowly transforming into a standalone history.

"If we leave this place alone, even if Solomon's incineration of human history is undone, it will still leave enormous scars and impacts on human history."

Da Vinci directed her gaze toward Rozen and Mash.

"As a genius, I can responsibly tell you that the Sixth Singularity is undergoing phenomena completely beyond our expectations—and likely beyond Solomon's expectations as well. The distortion of this Singularity is the most severe we've encountered. Even the Seventh Singularity, currently under observation, may not match the Sixth in terms of distortion."

This was undoubtedly a deeply unsettling situation.

Originally, the issues caused by Solomon's incineration of human history were already significant. Now, with additional unknown phenomena occurring within the Sixth Singularity, the combination of these factors likely made it a terrifying black hole.

"Intervening in this Singularity recklessly means you may face not only disasters caused by Solomon but also entirely unknown enemies and events. Compared to the chaos of the Fifth Singularity caused by Solomon, this Singularity is far more corrupted."

While saying this, Da Vinci's tone remained nonchalant.

"So, the difficulty of restoring human history this time will be the highest ever. We even considered not letting you intervene. If intervention were necessary, I would've joined you as a safeguard to help you overcome this challenge. Thankfully, our Master's growth has been extraordinary. At this point, I can't even gauge how strong you've become."

Da Vinci's playful words turned everyone's attention to Rozen.

Indeed, Rozen's progress had been astonishing, his growth remarkable.

Although the specifics of Rozen's current strength remained unclear, the sheer presence he exuded was proof enough of his extraordinary transformation.

Thus...

"Even in unprecedented circumstances, we believe in your ability to successfully restore human history."

Roman patted Rozen on the shoulder.

"It's all up to you now, Rozen," Olga Marie said, clenching her lips. "Once we overcome the Sixth Singularity, only one remains. The nightmare that once drove us to despair is nearing its end. Whether we can see hope depends on you and Mash."

For Olga Marie to say such words was significant.

Therefore...

"Don't worry, Director, Doctor, and Da Vinci."

Mash lifted her gaze, taking a deep breath before speaking resolutely.

"I promise, Senpai and I won't let you down."

Hearing Mash's words, Rozen smiled slightly.

"Boom!"

Blazing flames, as intense as the sun, ignited around him.

Amid the flames, a luxurious black half-cloak appeared on Rozen's body.

It was none other than the coat formed by Kinu.

Rozen hadn't worn the coat created by Kinu in a long time.

Now, he donned it once again.

"Let's go, Mash."

With shimmering phosphorescent flames enveloping him, Rozen declared calmly.

"Yes!"

Mash responded loudly.

Thus, the Rayshift commenced.

The Sixth journey to restore human history began at this moment.
