Neo Pov
A week passed by, and my life had become more interesting with the addition of the Scathach in my harem, and well if it is me who usually spoils my wives, she is the one who takes the initiative to spoil me instead. Her characteristics are similar to a big sister, a bro-con older sister who is in a forbidden relationship with his younger brother to be more precise, I don't hate her exactly after all who won't like being spoiled by his hot wife? Of course not me.
Well, there is another thing that had been bothering me and that is my strength, if I was to master my True Magics perfectly I will be at a similar level to a Stronger Matured Beast, and that is a very big deal in this world, as even Alaya who is normally restricted in her use of power can't compete with them. Which often leads to the destruction of timelines, thankfully due to Heroic Spirits several timelines had been prevented from their ultimate demise.
But there are Eldritch horrors in Fate which makes the situation worse as well, even if they are sealed it doesn't change the fact what now I am experiencing is an uneasy sense of peace, one that might not last for too long. To be honest, after getting my True Magics and Elsa, Medea, Artoria, Scathach, and Bartha as my wives, I wanted to continue leaving in peace together with them in peace for years.
Just yesterday, I asked the system what it recommends for me do, and it replied that I should get stronger soon, after that, I again asked why it said so, and the answer was simple, this verse is simply too dangerous and things might be not as peaceful as they are now in future, I understood this time system is hiding something from me or rather is telling me only the tip of the iceberg for reasons unknown, and that is what woke this sudden urgency of to gain power within me.
The best way to gain power is undoubtedly by using Gacha, obviously, I can also train my True Magics, but first, they have an upper limit even if that's very high and peak of what Beasts and Gods can achieve in this verse. Secondly, it will take much more time for me than to gather Gacha points by changing the world timelines, in the end, I have decided on what to do.
" I want to travel in another timeline", I said in front of my wives, they were stunned by my words," Master, what do you mean?", asked Elsa, her habit of calling me Master never changed despite her position being no longer of a mere maid." Is there any problem Neo?", asked Scathach, I sighed and said," I want to get stronger, I can't tell on exactly how, but I think I-no we should get stronger, and the fastest way is to travel to other timelines and face actual threats".
Scathach nodded in understanding, Artoria glanced at me with unrequited love and said," My King, your queen will accompany you wherever you go", Medea gave her a glare and said," What do you mean by your queen? We are his queens as well!!", Artoria ignored her, and then Medea chose to ignore her as well.
"Still how we will travel to another world?", asked Medea glancing at me, I smiled and called out," Alaya", just a few seconds later she appeared to me, showing her voluptuous body in its full glory," Yes Daddy?", she asked me cutely, I started explaining her everything and once I had finished telling her everything and she agreed on helping us travel to another world.
" Still it would have been better to have Second True Magic", Medea commented, Alaya gave her a look and said," Getting True Magic isn't easy, one needs to see the Root to gain it, and there can be only limited number of magicians in a single time corresponding to the number of miracles present, although I can let Daddy enter the Root from the pathway of this timeline, there is no guarantee he will gain it, and Gaia might try a dirty trick since Root is connected to the pathways of other timelines."
I could see it, she wasn't reluctant to give me the True Magic, but to give something derived from the Root was out of her capability, and even if she was to send my soul to the Root, the ability I will gain will be random, and Gaia from another timeline might try something funny with my soul, to be honest, the hostility of the Gaia towards me was really surprising but considering that she perceives me as an outsider, it is justified.
Now here is a problem in my plans, won't Gaia take a crazy step if I was to travel in another timeline? The answer is that she can't take any direct measures due to Omniverse's protection, and now even indirect measures are out of her capabilities to an extent due to Alaya's protection on me, as long as I go in a time period where the number of humans is massive like the modern era, then she can prevent Gaia from summoning a literal beast of humanity on me or even a Dead Apostle.
Only places out of her reach like space beyond the moon, and Root are dangerous zones for me. Thus everything was settled, after telling Bartha as well, who told me she doesn't want to come with me as she wants to get stronger at using Primordial runes, once she achieves her desired level only then she will come with me, as according to her till then she will be an unnecessary burden to me, and will drag me down.
In the end, I agreed with her, letting her stay making only the other five come with me, the first timeline I choose was the only remaining route of the three main Fate Stay Night routes, the Unlimited blade works. After the clash with Gaia, against Alaya, the other two routes including the original fate route had been erased, thus I choose this familiar and more easy timeline, to begin with, after all, there is no need to throw me and my wives in front of Tiamat and Goetia in the first exploration right?
This world can be said not to be very strong, but this is far more dangerous and deadlier compared to my timeline, here Dead Apostles exist and they can be good opponents, to me, Medea, Scathach, Elsa, and Artoria to train with, and the Fifth Holy Grail War is also a good opportunity to fight against other servants, who can help my wives to improve their strength.
Thus, without any hesitation, I choose this world, and we decided to appear at least one month before the Fifth Holy Grail, after all directly stepping into the war is not smart in any way.
...
We appeared on the top of a building, I glanced at the vast city below me with no surprise evident in my eyes. Artoria questioned," Is this another timeline?", Alaya smiled and said," Indeed!! But as you can see there are not as much as differences you ought to be as this one is very close to your own timeline".
I glanced at Alaya, and said," Thanks Alaya, here is another thing I want your help with", she replied," Then do tell me, this daughter of yours will make sure to help it", a grin came on my face as I said," I want an invitation card".

3rd Pov
A few days later,
In front of the station stood a man with long black hair, his sharp eyes glanced at the train and the platform skeptically," As I thought, only the supernatural broad the train present here", he said, behind him stood a boy, and a girl, both had almost reached their adulthood, they were none other than Claules and Gray.
(A/N: One is the master of Frankenstein from Fate Apocrphya other is a girl made to be a vessel for King Arthur to be revived)
Soon a Japanese woman wearing Kimono and spectacle came near them," It would seem you are here as well Lord El-Melloi, and armed with Mystic Eyes killer eyes glasses as well, as expected of you", he looked at her with frown, and said," Adashino, I should have known you would come here, after getting all of Will's report".
Not long after another woman approached their group," You know, I was told there is a Lord here, but I didn't expect it to be from Modern Magecraft, the famous Lord El-Melloi II", he glanced at her only to see a grey-haired woman with orange eyes, he greeted her," It has been some time, Miss", she sighed and said," I will take it as you recognize my face at least, still not my name... It's Olga Marie...Olga Marie Arsimilat Animusphere".
"She is the daughter of the Lord of Astronomy", he said introducing her to his two disciples," So, are you after some specific Mystic eyes?", she asked with a questioning gaze, containing a hint of pride," Perhaps, we will see about it", he replied, not directly answering to her question which annoyed the latter.
She said in a haughty tone," Allow me to make this clear, Lord of the Modern Magecraft, the Astromancy will be the one to win this year's auction, even if you are a Lord in the ClockTower, don't think for a bit that I will go easy on you", Lord El Melloi II aka Waver Velvet sighed and said," It seems to me that you overestimate my capabilities, Miss", he indeed was telling the truth, after all, he barely had any money for the auction and his goal to board this train was to purely get back the summoning Artifact of the Iskandar as he had plans to join the fifth Holy Grail War.
"My lady it is time", Olga Marie's attendant said to her, she nodded and boarded the train but not before giving Lord El Melloi II a warning to not intervene in their auction. To this, he simply sighed in frustration and boarded the train along with the other three," Hmm?", as he was glancing at the people present in the compartment his eyes fell on a man, he had short black hair with some strands red hair, black eyes, and he was wearing a suit.
He was quite handsome as well, but that isn't what caught his eyes, but rather the figure of the woman sitting on his lap, she wore a black gothic dress and had blond hair, her face was covered in a mask, and she sat intimately leaning on the man's chest, her hairstyle, her body figure, it was extremely similar to a person he knew.
' No it can't be her ', he denied in his mind, while slight fear came to his eyes, he still remembered the scene of Artoria chasing them in a motorcycle and nearly killing him with her Noble Phantasm, he had nightmares of that scene till now. After he checked the girl a bit more, he found her skin to be paler than Artoria's, and also her hair seemed slightly different,' Still, their similarity is too uncanny', he thought.
" Is there anything Professor?", asked Gray breaking him out of his stupor," No, there isn't", he replied and quickly withdrew his gaze from the couple. The man meanwhile, who was none other than Neo glanced at Clalues with a smile,' Interesting ', he thought with a smile, then he looked at Lord El Melloi II who had a slight sweat dripping from his forehead, and then at the Gray.
' It wasn't bad to come here ', he thought as his smile widened, things were more interesting than he thought.
To be continued...
