Tiamat granted him immortality, yet he still died, demonstrating just how severely his origins were damaged.
He was really careless this time. I don't know if he caught Tokiomi Tohsaka's bad habit of messing things up. He was in a great position, but he was tricked and almost lost on the spot.
Oh right, my origin story seems to be somewhat related to the fantasy construction of the cheat system.
Thinking about it, Ma En quickly tried the fantasy construction and found that it was not affected.
This relieved Maren slightly, since his origin was 'fantasy' and 'construction'. He didn't know whether fantasy and construction came from his origin or whether they influenced his origin.
However, it now appears that this ability influenced and assimilated his origin.
"Tia, do you have a way to cure this condition?"
Unable to come up with a solution on his own in the short term, Ma En had no choice but to swallow his pride and ask his wife for help.
“It can be cured.” Yamat nodded affirmatively.
For others, if the origin is damaged, there might be nothing that can be done.
But she possesses the power of creation, capable of creating all things and creating life.
These things all have an origin, meaning she can create an origin.
Therefore, not only can she repair the damaged origin, she can also modify the origin.
Just as Marne was about to say something, Tiamat added, "But there's no need to treat it."
Ma En paused, then asked, "Why?"
"Because your origin is in the process of self-repair, it will return to normal in time."
Tiamat gave an answer that left Marne completely bewildered.
"My origins are self-repairing?"
Maren was completely dumbfounded and asked blankly, "Can Origin self-repair?"
He didn't really understand these things. His knowledge of the origins was limited to encyclopedic information. He knew that the Origin Bullet of Emiya Kiritsugu existed, but he didn't know the specifics.
Tiamat shook her head: "No, Marne, you're special."
Then he briefly explained the characteristics of origin to Marx and Engels.
She said: "The most fundamental form of existence can be said to be the source of existence, or it can be said to be a record."
The awakening of the origin can grant this being the most fundamental power, but this has nothing to do with the origin itself. It is simply that the being has come to understand its own situation, and thus its abilities have been sublimated.
The origin is essentially more like a label, determining the characteristics of an existence.
···
It's also like a record, a blank notebook, which automatically records the experiences this being has had and its growth—the most fundamental traces.
It's like an article with a defined theme; every action it takes contributes to the subsequent content. When the content touches on the theme, the article naturally becomes more profound.
Therefore, the origin does not have any ability, let alone self-repair.
"Narrator, but my situation is special, but what is this situation?"
After Marx and Engels understood, they felt that there was yet another thing they couldn't understand.
Tiamat offered another guess: "Your immunity to the passive modification of my Sea of Life might be due to this characteristic of origin."
The passive transformation of her sea of life can actually be seen as a kind of transformation at the origin.
However, the origin of Marx and Engels has special properties, so it makes sense that they are immune to this kind of modification.
"I see." En nodded, which reduced one of her doubts.
However, while new questions explain old ones, there are still some aspects that remain puzzling.
"Well, forget it, I'm too lazy to think about it."
Unable to figure it out, Marx and Engels once again put the question out of their minds.
"So, you mean I can go back after a while? How long exactly?"
Tiamat didn't answer the question, but instead asked in a low voice, "Are you in a hurry to go back?"
Maren almost said yes, after all, there were people he cared about over there who were probably worried about his safety.
But seeing the wistful look in his wife's eyes, Maren's survival instincts made him change his mind on the spot.
"Well, I'm just a little worried about that place, after all..."
As they were talking, Ma En saw his wife's slightly puffed-up cheeks and her jealous little expression. Her adorable appearance made him surrender on the spot.
"Who cares what happens over there! The important thing is my wife, whom I haven't seen in a long time."
Ma En immediately hugged his lover tightly and leaned in to kiss her.
Tiamat didn't struggle, but continued in a low voice, "It's not that you can't go back quickly, but someone doesn't want me to do anything to them."
Marx and Engels broke out in a cold sweat and could only continue to play dumb and force a smile.
Nine.
Chapter 110 Reaching a Consensus, Tiamat's New Gift
Marne has always been resistant to Tiamat's attempts to modify his body, even if it's for his own good, because he doesn't like having his body altered.
Well, actually, as long as the structure isn't drastically altered, he can accept it.
For example, he himself enhanced his physique and added magic circuits to himself.
The main reason he refused to be transformed by Tiamat was that if he did, Tiamat would be like his second parent, which would feel strange and mess up the family hierarchy.
"Someone wouldn't let me reform him, but instead let others do it to him."
Tiamat didn't stop because of Marne's forced smiles, and continued to speak resentfully.
As she spoke, she raised her hand and touched the area around Maren's heart, the place where he originated, which was now encased in a magic box.
This is the "340" source transfer spell that Aozaki Touko set up on Maren, which is the key to the "Phoenix Project".
Previously, Ma En had absolutely refused to let her undergo the transformation, but now another woman was doing it, which was what made Tiamat unhappy.
Don't you trust me enough?!
Seeing his wife's resentful look, Ma En quickly tried to salvage the situation: "I didn't know you gave me the blessing, otherwise I would have definitely refused. If you don't like it, we can just remove it."
He was semi-forced at the time; Aozaki Touko took advantage of his soft heart and forced him to get on.
Furthermore, at that time he didn't really have any good means of survival, nor did he know about his Tiamat's blessing, and Aozaki Touko had given him the rune base information he wanted most.
He was given so much that the other party used it as leverage, so he felt embarrassed to refuse. He reluctantly agreed and allowed Aozaki Touko to implant the spell on him.
Although removing this spell made Aozaki Touko feel very bad, for the sake of family harmony, Ma En had no choice but to be a sinner and sacrifice some of his integrity.
"Just let it go; after all, it was their kind gesture."
Seeing that Ma En was adamant, Tiamat relented and did not actually intend to destroy the spell.
She then changed the subject, saying, "However, to be fair, you can't refuse me this time."
She heard about Aozaki Touko's situation from Ma En. Since the other party had already revealed all their tricks, she naturally couldn't remain silent.
Blessings alone are not enough; she can give as many as she wants.
It's time to give Marne something tough, but who knows if he'll encounter anything even more dangerous next time.
At this moment, Tiamat reached a consensus with Nero and Aozaki Touko in the distance: that is... Marne is really too much of a troublemaker!
To prevent any further accidents from happening to Marx and Engels, we must take preventative measures in advance.
After saying that, without waiting for Ma En to say anything, golden light shone from her hand and began to be injected into Ma En's body.
Ma En felt as if he were in a hot spring, his whole body was warm, and then he felt comfortable. Instantly, he felt that his hearing and vision were sharp, his mind was much clearer, and his whole body was full of energy and strength.
"What is this?" Maren then asked.
"Knowing that you don't like being transformed, I didn't do that, but instead blessed you with divinity."
"Divinity? Is it the divinity I understand?"
Maren was stunned for a moment, then became somewhat excited again.
Speaking of divinity in Type-Moon, before the release of the comic book series, due to the Chains of Heaven and various attacks on divinity in the games, it was once jokingly referred to as a negative debuff, essentially a weakness.
However, after Warcraft Frontiers came out on Feigou Comics, it completely turned the tables.
This divinity is an extremely powerful amplifying buff; a hero with divinity can completely overwhelm a hero without divinity.
Because divinity is considered the highest level of mystery, with an extremely high mystery value, fighting an existence with a low mystery value is like an adult fighting a little kid—there's a difference in quality.
The main representative is Taiga, no! Tiger... Leopard Man, who is only a three-star card, yet he can steadily suppress Mash, Ana who is fighting Medusa, and Ishtar.
The wrestling queen behind her, Quetzalcoatl, is so powerful that she can easily crush the four mentioned above.
This is where the difference in divinity concentration comes from, especially the divine core at the level of a main god. The boost it brings is incomparable to that of ordinary heroic spirits, or even to minor gods who rely on the increase in environmental fame and faith.
Tiamat, the creator goddess, possesses an unparalleled level of divinity and amplification.
Therefore, Marne was also very much looking forward to seeing just how much he would be enhanced by the divine amplification he had received...
"Although I don't know what you understand as divinity, this is my divinity. I've given you about one-fifth of it, which is roughly equivalent to some of the main gods. I wanted to give you more, but this is the limit. You can't handle any more now."
Divinity at the level of a supreme god!
That's impressive!
but……
"This divinity must be very important, right? Is it really okay to give me so much?"
Maren didn't know either, but he learned from Yun's information that Quetzalcoatl in the Warcraft Frontier lost part of his divinity, which resulted in a significant drop in his strength.
So he was also worried that this might have some negative impact on Tiamat.
Tiamat shook her head: "It's nothing, my strength has just decreased a bit, but that decrease is nothing to me, and I don't need strength here anyway."
Not to mention that her strength was already immeasurably powerful, even if it were to decrease slightly, she would still have few rivals.
She's been staying in this imaginary space all along, so there's no fighting to be had, and she doesn't really have any use for her strength.
In that case, it would be better to give it to Ma En; at least it would reduce her worries about the other party.
