Multiverse: Why does the world show a health bar? !

"Scene: *A Certain Magical Index*, Avignon, France."

"Activate Clear Mission: Complete the ritual 'Angel Fall.'"

A panel appeared before his eyes.

He had just entered the world, yet the mission was already activated.

Did it only activate when encountering key characters?

Unfortunately, Li Mo didn't have time to dwell on this.

He had left school early, returned home, and waited for the countdown to reach zero. When all the numbers finally hit zero, the world before him shifted.

Transmigration.

In the past, the process had seemed instantaneous. In the blink of an eye, he went from the city to another world. But after stepping onto the path of transcendence and growing three tails, he vaguely sensed that the transmigration process wasn't as instantaneous as it seemed…

There seemed to be something in between, but Li Mo couldn't record it.

Human perception is based on the five senses. Li Mo was no exception, but outside the world, did vision, hearing, touch, smell… even matter?

After all, in the vacuum of space, sound couldn't propagate, rendering hearing useless.

Currently, Li Mo had no means to perceive the "information" during the transmigration process.

"Enough… now's not the time for this."

Using magecraft to ensure he could speak normally, Li Mo, feeling the pull of gravity, began to think.

Before entering the dungeon, Li Mo had imagined many scenarios.

Perhaps he'd be thrown into the battlefield between Kamijou Touma and the Magic Gods.

Or maybe he'd appear in the windowless building of Academy City.

He had considered all sorts of possibilities.

But he never expected his current situation.

He was in mid-air.

His body was spread out in a starfish pose, limbs extended. His eyes looked down at the ground, where he could see a cluster of cities.

That must be Avignon.

To be honest, the name was unfamiliar to Li Mo. He felt like he'd seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't recall where.

"That's not the key issue. The key issue is, how do I land safely?"

He estimated he was about a thousand meters above the ground.

At this height, even the mysterious "Force Dispersion" technique wouldn't guarantee a safe landing. The power of gravity was simply too great.

He needed a plan.

He couldn't just rely on his pseudo-immortality to survive being turned into a pancake, could he?

The "False Immortality" of his third tail could ensure his survival. If all else failed, he could activate the "End of Four Nights" from his second tail to revive once.

But that would be too undignified.

And he didn't seem to know how to fly…

Scouring his memories, he recalled that among the magecraft Medea had taught him, there were spells related to flight. Unfortunately, he hadn't learned them… Was it too late to pick them up now?

Not really.

Using magecraft was easy. Medea had essentially broken down the principles of various spells and fed them to Li Mo like baby food.

—The only challenge was the differences between worlds.

But this hurdle was quickly overcome. The world of *A Certain Magical Index* was one where magic thrived, with multiple phases layered over the world. Through the principle of idol theory, one could borrow power from myths, cultures, and symbols.

The magecraft of the *Type-Moon* world and this one shared similarities.

His body grew lighter, as if invisible wings had sprouted around him. Light refracted off his body, and with magecraft, Li Mo achieved optical invisibility.

His feet touched the ground as he landed safely.

The landing spot was on a rooftop. Li Mo tilted his head, observing the streets and rivers below. From this vantage point, he could see the entire city.

It was a typical Western city, with architecture reminiscent of Europe.

"The Document of Constantine? Left-Hand Territory?"

Standing there, maintaining his invisibility, Li Mo searched his memories for information about this location. Finally, he recalled a story.

In ancient times—he couldn't remember the exact era—the French king rebelled against the Church, capturing the Pope and imprisoning him in Avignon.

From a mystical perspective, this city was equivalent to the Vatican's papal court.

Thinking of things that required papal authority, Li Mo thought of the Document of Constantine. Its full name was likely the Donation of Constantine, a document where Roman Emperor Constantine the Great granted authority to the Pope, recognizing him as the supreme leader of Christianity and ceding control of European territories to the Church.

In a world without mysticism, power and authority required force to back them up. But in a world where mysticism existed, ancient history could be converted into power. The Document of Constantine, developed as a spiritual tool, allowed the Pope to issue commands that the people would obey.

This process was mandatory. In the original story, during the conflict between the Roman Catholic Church and Academy City, the Right Seat of God attempted to use this tool to turn the Church's two billion followers against Academy City, sparking war.

But…

"So, what's the current timeline?"

The Document of Constantine incident occurred on the eve of World War III.

But the panel said…

"Complete Angel Fall."

Angel Fall was a ritual to pull an angel into the human world. Achieving this wasn't difficult. Kamijou Touma's father, Kamijou Touya, had collected various religious talismans and souvenirs during his travels, inadvertently setting up the ritual in his home, causing an angel to descend and wreak havoc. In the end, it was resolved with the help of Saint Kanzaki Kaori and the magician Stiyl Magnus.

The location and the mission… they weren't completely unrelated, but they didn't quite match either.

If the mission was to complete Angel Fall, why was he dropped in France? Going to Academy City in Japan would have been more straightforward.

This was way too troublesome.

Moreover… even without his involvement, Angel Fall could still happen…

There were too many unanswered questions.

So, the first step was to determine the timeline. Wait, do I even remember what happened on which day? I only recall a few key events.

After all, Kamijou Touma had experienced so many major events, with incidents packed tightly together. That firefighter had traveled from Japan to France, England, and Russia within half a year…

So, he needed to use events to determine the current timeline. The best option was to find an internet café and check if any major incidents had occurred. If Academy City had been attacked or if the conflict between the Church and Academy City had escalated, there would surely be information online.

The Daihasei Festival could also serve as a time marker.

If possible, finding someone involved would be ideal. Someone from the magic side… like a member of the Amakusa-style Remix of Church.

What do you think, Itsuwa?

Noticing a familiar name next to a health bar, Li Mo's eyes flickered.
