In the world of A Certain Magical Index, most religious factions are branches of Christianity.
Even if they belong to different sects, the only difference lies in their understanding of God, but they all acknowledge that they believe in the same God.
Kanzaki Kaori couldn't imagine what kind of impact the appearance of such a girl, recognized by God, would bring to the entire Christian faction.
Some would see her as a Saint, regarding her words as the Gospel of God's revelation.
Some would see her as a Heretic, denouncing her power as a desecration of God.
But for the current Kanzaki Kaori...
Anyway, it's best to bow down first.
"We are no different from being your enemies." Shen He's Teigu, Demon Armor, slowly dissipated. "Our purpose is to resolve the Singularity occurring in this world, and for this, we are seeking allies."
Jeanne d'Arc didn't speak. She simply held her spear and stood behind Shen He.
Who was in charge was obvious.
"Singularity?" Shizuri Kanzaki was puzzled.
"Kamijou Touma should have told you. The Misaka Mikoto currently initiating a war in Academy City, whether it's her power, personality, or style, is too different from before," Shen He said, glancing at the apartment above. "Jeanne d'Arc, Accelerator, let's go up first."
"—Jeanne d'Arc!?"
Shizuri Kanzaki couldn't help but question.
This name has long existed as the name of a famous Saint in Christianity.
Although it was possible it was just a coincidence, the spear with the flag, the silver armor, and the devout faith recognized by God...this name shouldn't be a coincidence.
Shenli Huozhi was only thinking about things like inheriting a title.
This also exists in the world of magic, inheriting the title of a predecessor.
Jeanne nodded slightly, and as she turned, she glanced at Stiyl, who was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed and constantly praying, and extended her palm towards him.
"May God forgive you."
In that instant, Stiyl felt the agitation in his heart calm down.
He exhaled deeply, just now he almost thought he was going to be abandoned by God.
However, after standing up, he still humbly lowered his head. A considerable portion of the power of the church's magicians came from their faith. Those who betrayed their faith would even see their magical abilities slowly diminish, as in the case of the alchemist Aureolus.
Shenli Huozhi followed the three of them to Kamijou Touma's apartment.
The recent battle didn't affect the others because all the students in this apartment had moved out, making it their base of operations where they set up a defensive barrier.
Shen He saw a young man with a spiky hairstyle.
He looked a little different from the anime, appearing more dejected.
However, his instinctive action of protecting the girl in the white monastic robe was no different from the anime, a hopelessly kind person.
"I am a Master from Chaldea, my name is Shen He."
Shen He extended his right hand towards Kamijou Touma, and they shook hands.
Nothing happened, which made him relieved. It seemed that the system's level of mystery was higher. Kamijou Touma's right hand had the ability to eliminate all "Singularities," and the system was undoubtedly a Singularity.
"What exactly is going on?" Kamijou Touma looked at Stiyl and the other person who were silent. "Suddenly, you rushed out saying that enemies were attacking, but it was just a misunderstanding?"
The recent battle made him feel like the building could collapse at any moment. It would be a disaster if the apartment was destroyed due to a misunderstanding.
"Time is short, so I'll get straight to the point." Shen He didn't intend to waste any more time. "You should already know about Misaka Mikoto's situation. We suspect that the Misaka Mikoto currently initiating a war within Academy City isn't the real Misaka Mikoto,
but rather an independent entity created by someone through the all-powerful wish-granting machine – the Holy Grail. We call her Misaka Mikoto Alter."
"The Holy Grail?"
"Another Misaka Mikoto?"
Kanzaki Kaori and Kamijou Touma spoke at the same time.
One's attention was focused on the all-powerful wish-granting machine, while the other's was on another Misaka Mikoto.
"No wonder Biri Biri seems completely different." Kamijou Touma couldn't help but frown. "The Biri Biri I know, while rude and unreasonable, would never do something like this."
He had also seen Misaka Mikoto after the war began, and was attacked without mercy.
And the other side knew his ability very well, keeping their distance and using the terrain and other things to attack him indirectly. If it wasn't for Kanzaki Kaori arriving in time, he was afraid he would have been killed instantly.
"The Holy Grail...what is that?"
Stiyl asked in a rare, weak tone. Kanzaki Kaori also looked at Shen He. As mages, they had never heard of such a thing.
"That doesn't belong to this world," Shen He could only explain. "This is a Singularity. Things that don't belong to this world, this universe, have drifted here. Chaldea is a cross-dimensional organization that specializes in dealing with such events..."
Shen He roughly explained Chaldea to them, as well as the existence of a vast multiverse.
Even Jeanne d'Arc's true identity was revealed, and he strictly forbade Kamijou Touma from approaching within three meters of Jeanne d'Arc. Although the Heroic Spirit's immortality was also solidified after being summoned, if they died, it would take a day to recover.
After Jeanne d'Arc demonstrated her spiritual form, Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl no longer had any doubts.
"It's really the Saint!"
Shenli Huozhi suddenly became reserved.
Although she was a Saint, her status as a Saint had nothing to do with faith or achievements. It purely represented strength, as she was born with the power of a child of God. Jeanne d'Arc, however, was a legendary figure who had performed great miracles in history and was revered as a Saint by the entire Christianity.
Not to mention, the other party had already become a Holy Spirit created by God.
"Jeanne has been acquired by Chaldea from your God," Shen He felt it necessary to clarify this point. "Although she is still under God's protection, I do not intend to involve her in the religious disputes of your world. After resolving the Singularity, we will leave this world."
Shen He wouldn't naively believe that all religious factions would revere Jeanne as a Saint after seeing her.
If every member of the church had such devout faith, there would be no battles in the magical world.
"As the Master said," Jeanne's gentle voice contained a warmth full of tolerance, "I am a being of the past. The disputes that arise as you approach God should not be interfered with by those of the past."
So this is the Saint who received God's revelation and saved her country... Shenli Huozhi couldn't help but be drawn in by that sincerity.
While Shen He explained the current situation here, Saiki and the others, who were hiding on top of a high-rise building to observe the bait below, also noticed the situation.
