THE LIBRARIAN

!!!!!Requiem Central Hub Archer POV!!!!!!

Archer was crouching down touching the bridge made out of hard-light technology of the so-called forerunners mentioned in his talk with Edem on the origin of this place.

He dared to cast structural analysis on the floor and sure enough he had a massive headache.

The information he received was foreign to the magical information dimension when he casts structural analysis on divine object.

Surely enough he does no have restriction of Gaia/Alaya was lifted on him but still it is bizarre.

No everything he has experienced here and the situation is bizarre.

Maybe he is living a dream that he is yet to wake up from his reality marble awaiting his next assignment.

But meeting with God the "Creator" was otherwise.

Unlike Divine spirits like "Olympians" whose origin was same as Sefar an "Alien".

The God of the Bible and Quran having the mention of a single God in existence.

That God is the real deal as he was briefed by Alaya on his assignments.

Unlike Olympian and other pantheons who were worshipped in by which the process gave them divinity to transform.

The True God is not like them but actually the creator of everything including Chaos and Gaia who was bought in existence by the residual energy, which he suspected while he was having the conversation with Alaya.

Now that he remembers she was really dodgy on the subject on the origin of Gaia and her being bought in existence.

In the Lostbelt 5 he got the information form his cooperation with Chaldea that Gods and other Pantheons were Aliens.

(A/N: Lostbelt Spoilers read on your own will)

Alaya did not talk about how humanity was not harmed by the rampage of Sefar.

He was sure that the aftermath would have wiped out humanity.

So, who protected humanity at that time?

Any information he tries to get about the battle of Sefar is blacklisted.

Not to mention about the True God or known as God of the Bible.

Christanity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism was the still prominent religion in the world.

Could that mean the connection with the Age of Gods is somehow still maintained?

If so why are the Gods not establishing their pantheons Again?

Is it because of the spear that is separating the reverse side of the world?

But they can send out their astral projection to do the work or come out as divine spirits, which he is sure to hunt down along with rest of the counter guardians.

Not the first time it happened.

But slip up like lostbelts can happen.

He is sure that insufferable King of Heroes is known to end the connection to the Age of Gods.

But did he lie?

Archer scrunched up his face.

Something is amiss.

The Age of Gods have ended that what he was told and other Magus, but was it a propaganda sold by Alaya/Gaia so that Mystery does not arise?

He knows the risks for Mystery increasing in the world.

It might bring forth the Age of Gods again.

Archer stood up looking back at Edem who was messing with the controls of a glowing bulbous egg.

Like a grey and white liquid dancing inside of it.

He was really in the dark at what he was doing or was he kept in the dark?

The main question he has for Edem.

"HOW THE FUCK DOES HE KNOW SUCH A UNIVERSE AND HOW DID HE COME TO CONCLUSION TO TRAVEL HERE?"

Was information implanted in his head by God or is it the connection to Akasha?

Only time will tell.

First, he needs to make this guy open up.

Working for hours with no rest like a machine.

He is in spirit form so he does not need food or sleep.

But it is appreciated.

Not to mention the breach of privacy to read his mind like the get go.

Also, now that he thinks about Alaya/Gaia will they sent Beasts and Counter guardians for them.

Worst Case scenario Grands and True Heroic Spirits.

Now would be the best time to take both of them down as Edem is not at his full strength.

Maybe a deal was made for this employment with the True God.

If not, some shady stuff is going on behind the scene that may or may not have cosmic balance in jeopardy.

Story of his life.

Will the Wizard Marshal be able to track them all to here?

He can't feel mystery in the air.

Maybe the universe does not have any?

Only with the supply from Edem he can maintain his spirit form.

A chill went down Archer's spine.

Now that he recalls the abilities Edem is given from the information he was given on his mission he has concerns.

All of the True Magic Including the unknown sixth.

A DNA of a god whose cells can produce enormous energy.

An Ether Liner ability.

Not to mention ability to transform into certain beings according to the power of "X" as a counter guardian.

Did he get roped into another unfair contract?

The only comforting fact is Edem can only use the power to turn into certain begins when a power greater or unknown origin affects him.

Not to mention connection to Akasha.

Creating any power one can desire.

It was only a matter of time Edem grows enough of a threat to Gaia/Alaya.

A force to be reckoned with.

Archer came out of his musing as a sudden white light basked the command room.

Now he needs to see what Edem has cooked up for him to see.

!!!!Ado Edem POV!!!!!

Why was he doing this?

Do his actions have any meaning?

What makes him go forward?

He should drop things off and go back to his universe to make sure humanity survives.

But can humanity survive using its own strength?

He remembers being sealed in Witchschaft Umbrella Castle filled with dread and despair.

Living with failure and betrayal chained on a throne of the very being that started this Apocalypse in the first place.

He had a lot of time to think and lot of information to hoard as humanity as their masters have lost their authority to command them after their death.

His only grace was having the neural link to go into TRIHERMES secret archives of humanities knowledge.

Knowledge about Magic-Crests, Age of Gods, Gaia, counter-guardians, Dead Apostoles, Throne of Heroes and Holy Grail war.

He though long and thought hard about the possible ways humanity can survive this apocalypse.

Will going back in time help humanity to prepare for this impending doom.

Now he has knowledge about Akashic Records he can go and save humanity finally propelling humanity to space age.

BUT.

Can humanity use the knowledge bestowed upon them.

What if there was a bigger threat in outer space he does not know?

Are there outer gods in space.

How will humanity fight against such hopeless odds?

So, his Goal is clear.

A goal that he will be hated for if he is successful in.

But that's all right.

He was hated anyway for his failures, what is wrong to add others to the list of regrets.

So here and now he will throw away his status as a knight.

The Promise, Ideals and Hope he holds is dead.

There is only his name Ado Edem.

One of the Earth's Final Ether Liners of the Knights of Earth.

He still has his slash emperor and that is all that he needs to cut his way to the future.

He can only apologize to the people who stands in his way.

But not to God.

He will reclaim his Fate.

Now that he recalls of the people standing in his way.

He does not know what to think of the partner that was sent with him to look out for him or spy on him.

Alone he would be enough but why was a Counter-Guardian of a Fake Goddess sent with him.

Edem scrunched his brows.

Gaia and Alaya.

The second being he does not acknowledge.

A split personality of the Goddess Gaia.

Now that he has a connection with Akasha, he knows what they are, what they were doing playing with "HIS" and humanities free will.

Playing arbiters of fate.

One thing they failed to take account.

Humanities Limitless Growth.

Same thing that saved him from the perpetual torment in the quantum time loop along with the rest of his alternate selves.

Now that he has their memories he is seething in rage.

Rage that he never felt in his life.

A tool to be used and discarded.

Has humanity become a tool for them to be toyed with.

No no no that won't do at all.

One must come face to face with harsh reality or they will not learn at all.

And he will make them learn of the consequences when you underestimate a single being's capability.

Blindsiding him and taking credit for saving humanity.

He won't even blame them and accept it if it was the case as he was made for that reason.

But if one does not learn the price paid for safety, they will not learn the value of it and take it for granted.

Making Humanity complacent and weak for them to be groomed and harvested like leeks for primordial beings own agenda.

After he is done with this forced mission and objective.

He is coming for both of them and the rest of the divine spirits.

He'll banish them from his reality.

A wake of call to reality.

A cruel smile of malice made into Edem's face as he works on the command promt of the Librarian.

The very first time he ever smiled but the one filled with malice and distortion.

Since he knows how twisted and hypocrites Gaia/Alaya truly are he will show them even greater hypocrisy.

He wonders what his partner of justice will think about this when he learns what Gaia and Alaya truly are.

All the pain and sacrifices he made for the sake of being an ally of justice.

Edem can sympathize with his partner.

A man who met his end on a hill of swords and he who has met his end atop a land of steel.

"HIS BODY WAS MADE OUT OF SWORDS"

"IRON IS HIS HEART AND GLASS IS HIS HEART"

"HE HAS OVERCAME COUNTLESS BATTLE FIELDS, UNDEFEATED"

"HE DID NOT ACCEPT DEFEAT; HE DID NOT ACCEPT SURRENDER"

"NOT NEEDING ANYONES UNDERSTANDING OF SAVING PEOPLE AND THEIR VALUE OF LIFE"

"HE SITS ON A HILL OF SWORDS, WAITING FOR THE NEXT WAR THAT WILL SURELY COME"

"BUT THAT LIFE WILL NEVER AGAIN"

"SHINE BRIGHT AND LOOK TO THE LIGHT"

BUT ONE THING WAS FOR SURE.

"HIS BODY WAS SURELY MADE OF SWORDS"

"UNBEDING"

"UNFLICHING"

"UNBREAKABLE"

But time takes its toll and rust surely accumulates surely breaking down the unshakable will.

A story and poem of Shirou Emiya's life he can give respect to.

A man who humanity needed but did not appreciate the value.

No Humanity did see him but the ways he was going about accomplishing his goals could not be comprehended by humanity.

As they were in denial and too close minded to see.

The message that was shown with his actions, the very same heroic actions that were misunderstood as they were too divided and self-centered only caring for their own.

He can understand these feelings somewhat.

No one wants to lose anything.

No one wants to get hurt or left alone in a herd that is being brainwashed.

Too afraid to have ideas and voice that will cause society to turn of the being.

That won't work at all.

Humanity must take responsibility for their actions, the very same responsibility they neglected that in the future will haunt them for the rest of their lives.

The responsibility for planet Earth their home.

Humanity must know the meaning of suffering and fulfillment that comes from it.

If one does not lose something they will not know that value of that specific feeling.

A sentiment that will be passed on and echoed across generations.

Humanity is in his words curious and vulnerable creatures.

No Humanity is not a creature.

Humanity is a concept and Ideal wielded by many creatures that they struggle to understand.

The feeling of good and bad.

Right and wrong failing to differentiate.

But one answer is certain.

Order and Disorder is a part of humanity.

Once they learn to accept it.

A new path will open up for them accomplishing wonders.

The lesson he has learned as he saw death around him.

In a burst of light the capsule pulsed and opened up making Edem coming out of his thoughts.

There is no turning back.

This is the path he has chosen.

But not the only one among many.

!!!!!!!End of POV!!!!!

Archer jogged towards Edem to see what was going on.

He was not sure what is going on as he was not good with advanced technology.

He can only leave it to Edem who was working on the holograms and unknown language.

Having connection to Akasha sure was convenient.

Archer was startled as a figure or more so a 3D Hologram came out.

The figure was wearing a white dress and silver crown.

White skin but a flat nose with two holes in it.

Archer: Woah.

Edem: Hmm.

????: Greetings travelers what is that you seek.

Archer looked at Edem making eye contact who turned and acknowledged it.

Archer used telepathy to send his thoughts to Edem through the connection.

{Archer: I really hope you know what you are doing, should we prepare for combat?}

{Edem: Prepare to spam your swords all over the place, I can feel that she is calling the drones here, I think she noticed what we are}

{Archer: Great what to do if things go sideways}

{Edem: I dropped the shields around her dome, I need a couple of minutes to locate the key and grab it}

{Archer: So smash and grab}

{Edem: Yes, I'll distract her with the knowledge I recovered while observing this universe and the knowledge implanted on by head with a tip leading us to a direction. Thank your God for that}

{Archer: My God?}

{Edem: I have decided I have hated against the creator who gave me such fate}

{Archer: Ah! Okay I'll keep them busy; you get to work}

Edem tuned around observing the alien who was doing the same.

Now that he has all of his attention on this specimen, he can only admire the work done on the consciousness.

Converting Body, Mind and Soul to psionic data.

If only he had time to study her which he is already doing using Fourth and Third Magic.

But most of the calculations are used to find the key.

A big part of his plans or rather the plan that was given to him to ease his travels by the creator.

????: Might I know your name travelled.

Edem: My name is Mafty Troias.

Archer who was looking at the conversation had a blank face.

Not giving a name was the right move.

????: And your companion?

Archer came forward and looked at Librarian eye to eye.

Archer: Ritsuka Fujimaru.

Archer gave a silent sorry to his heart to the last master.

???: Hmm I see. I am surprised at first when I felt the presence of other beings in this world. I am sure when we cleansed the universe of the infection none would remain. I could only assume you are not part of this galaxy or you are the old humanity who somehow escaped from our gaze.

I am Librarian the guardian of this shield world.

Edem: Mass genocide would be the proper word.

Librarian: ...…

Archer: .....

{Archer: EDEM!}

Librarian: I understand your anger for what we did to your people, I understand it was our greatest sin. It was too late to act upon our grievances and work together to stop the flood infection. But you must understand it was so that humanity as the reclaimers can start anew and not repeat out mistakes.

Edem: More like Hubris to do your job properly.

Librarian: ...…

Librarian: I know what you are trying to do. You are trying to antagonize me, but I am all but a ghost of the past.

Edem: If you know what I want then why not help humanity to prosper.

Librarian: I cannot let you do that. I cannot let you lead and your mistakes to be passed on. I scanned you the moment you came in here. I cannot get a reading but for your friend I can, he is like me a ghost made out of data.

Archer was shocked would be an understatement.

Analyzing mage craft like this.

Even if he was keeping his poker face, he was sure he was sweating bullets.

Edem: What are you going to do now?

Librarian: I am sorry for the greater good you must be neutralized.

The drones that were in the chamber invisible suddenly sprung to life.

Archer projected his bow and knocked arrows.

Archer was panicking in this unknown situation.

Will mage craft even work on this and what armor are they using?

Wild thoughts were flying through his head.

His only comfort was Edem teleporting him out of this place.

Archer: EDEM! THIS A BETTER TIME THAN EVER!

Edem closed his eyes as the words ran through his head.

He heard these words several times.

For the greater good we must sacrifice our lives.

For the greater good we must sacrifice the minority.

For the greater good you must bury your desires and will.

He had enough of this people acting like Gods.

Sacrifice is not something you decide for someone but one must willing do it to show the value of giving something precious.

He had sacrificed and given enough.

Now it was his time to take back.

Edem open his eyes with his eyes glowing red with his Kryptonian genes working with fury in his body.

Edem: Greater good? What do you know about good and evil? There is greater or lesser or good and evil. There is only understanding of one's nature. And your nature is that of an ignorant fool.

Librarian scrunched her brows not understanding such words.

Librarian: I don't understand.

Edem: You don't have to.

Edem raised his hands towards the key that the librarian was trying to teleport out.

Quiet a crafty woman.

Edem and the Librarian both knew what was placed here.

Something so important that will make beings who obtain it be the master of the universe.

Activating the Kaleidoscope Edem snatched the Janus Key at the last second overriding the space.

He looked at his hand and there it was.

Janus Key.

Librarian looked in horror as her races key to their treasure was stolen like this with her not being able to do anything.

She was also surprised at the ability that unknown being used Infront of her.

It was almost like.

A PRECURSOR.

Librarian: STOP! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

The Librarian tried to grab and steal back the key but was suspended with an unknown force.

She was I shock and horror.

This can't end like this.

All the sacrifices for a new life to flourish in the galaxy.

She cannot let this man get away with this key.

Librarian: YOU CAN'T DO THIS! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MY RACE SACRIFICED! IF YOU DO THIS ALL OF THE NEW LIFE FLOURISHNG WILL BE IN DISARRAY.

Edem: Don't worry all of the being in this galaxy is safe under me, especially humanity as I was made to protect them. If they are worthy, I will pass on this key to them.

Librarian: LIAR! I CAN SEE THE GREED IN YOUR EYES. YOU WILL LEAD HUMANITY AND OTHER SPECIES TO DOOM.

Edem: NO! THIS TIME! THIS TIME FOR SURE I WILL PROTECT THEM. THE ONLY ONE IS GREEDY IS YOU! IGNORANT PSYCHOPATH. TREATING BEINGS LIKE LESSER AS ANIMALS FOR YOUR RESEARCH. IS IT BECAUSE OF PITY OR INTEREST.

ANYWAYS IT'S TIME TO TAKE YOUR LEAVE!

Edem used First, Fifth, Fourth and Third magic in Tandem causing great strain to his body and soul.

He was effectively deleting the Librarian.

Only thing she could do was scream in pain and glitch as her data was broken down or in other words composed to Nothingness.

Librarian: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Archer was in this time was not idle.

He quickly projected swords as soon as strange bronze beetle like creatures with human skull started teleporting in the chamber with space guns.

Multiple dog like robots came running on their hinds towards him which he promptly shot down with multiple Caladbolgs.

Sonic booms were following ever shot.

Archer projected multiple swords as shield for cover from the shots fired on him.

Multiple blue shimmers came to life mid-air and formed into swords and stabbed on the floor Infront of Archer.

He took cover behind one of his altered swords and released multiple huntrings loose on the increasing enemy teleporting in the chamber.

He was probing the enemy by firing multiple shots on their metallic body to check for weakness lodging arrows on gaps of the armor.

Suddenly his third eye reacted as there was a sudden shimmer beside him.

"I AM THE BONE OF MY SWORD"

With a burst of magical energy Archer moved away from his place and projected Kanshou and Bakuya and threw the married sword towards the shimmer.

As soon as the blades left his hand a huge bronze metallic body came to life on spot.

The blades struck the body and exploded in colors.

"TRACE OVEREDGE"

"TRACE ON"

Multiple swords floated in the air and commenced rapid fire on the increasing enemies like rapid bullets.

Archer was glad Noble Phantasm was working on this creepy sci-fi droid.

Not to mention the time taken for projection is less and their quality jumped as Alaya and Gaia is not present in this place.

Thank God for that.

There is no end to them.

Archer: EDEM! ANY MINUTE NOW! WE NEED TO TELEPORT NOW!!!

Edem looked back at Archer as he was almost done disintegrating the Librarian.

Librarian: #@u W!ll P@y.

Edem: Sure Goodbye.

Edem activated his Mystic eyes of death and projected a sword like Archer.

He in a clean swift motion grabbed it from air and gave a strike at the librarian at the place where lines of death were concentrated.

The chest.

With a swift stab a hole was made on Librarians chest.

The hole glowed blue as the effect of the Mystic Eyes took place.

But before she disappeared.

She mustered every ounce of her strength self-destructing releasing a signal to the cosmos.

Edem released a sigh.

It was cruel of him to tear this soul to pieces.

So, he released her from her suffering by cutting the connection from the domain she was in.

Instead of passing on peacefully and accepting defeat she released a cry for help by self-destructing.

A blunder and oversight in his regard.

He needs to get his head straight.

This sudden influx of rage is clouding his judgement.

Before he had limiters place on him but now there is nothing.

Not even the neural implants in his brain to follow command and act as an efficient machine.

With a burst of light, the life of the Librarian ended there.

The Prometheans which Edem noticed arrived in the chamber stopped functioning and became stunned.

But it did not stop the flying sentinels.

Edem looked over and saw massive number of sentinels like moth covering the chamber outside and entering to finish both him and Archer off.

Edem with a burst of speed made to Archer's side who was almost ready to be boiled by hot plasma with his hand extended towards them.

"Rho Aias"

Suddenly in Edems view a seven colored metal came to life covering his view taking the brunt of the beam attack showered by the flying sentinels.

Aias the great hero of the trojan war.

Edem was in awe at the feat of Archer.

Such capabilities.

He could have been an amazing hero if he was born in the past.

Edem activated the Susanoo ability and protected Archer's back and covered both of their space.

Archer looked back and saw Edem beside him.

With a sigh he released his projection and gave a stern glare with hands folded on his chest.

Archer: Just because I have infinite mana supply, doesn't mean I am invulnerable.

What took you so long.

Edem: Puberty.

Archer had a blank look on his face.

Archer: Puberty in this moment?

Edem: We are teleporting to earth grab on.

Archer just gave a sigh and grabbed Edems hand which he extended.

Archer: I need to cook to release my stress and I hope you use the first magic to make me a kitchen.

Edem: Sure.

Edem grabbed Archer's hand tightly and with a hue of multiple color vanished.

Not realizing a red three eyed AI saw it all.
