109. The polisher and the dice girl fight to the edge of the universe!

——Argonautica
It was a great adventure funded by Athena, with Jason as the captain, and brought together almost an entire generation of Greek heroes.

Even many Greek heroes later were proud that their ancestors had participated in the Argonauts' "Golden Fleece Adventure" on this ship.

It can be said that based on this ship, it can be linked to all the Greek heroes of that era - almost all the Greek heroes at that time, either as crew members or as hostile villains, had a connection with the Argo.

These heroes themselves, through their bloodline inheritance, can be connected to almost all the Greek heroes that came after them!

These heroes have their own adventures -

In other words!
"In the Greek system of constellation spirit magic, the spirits are either sublimated from the Greek heroes after their death, or sublimated from the various monsters conquered by the heroes, or sublimated from the treasures in the hands of the heroes—"

"That is to say!"

"If you contact 'the fate of all Greek heroes' through the Argo, you can contact 'all the constellations'!"

[Sixth round! There are only two left! Is it really possible to pass the seven consecutive judgments directly by relying on Olga Marie and Shirou to use this power without the help of the Monkey King? ]

[Difficulty: 500]

【1D1000=823】

[Six-hit combo! (This is the exciting combo between me and the dice girl!)]

Fantasizing again.

Almost all celestial magicians are probably not limited to the divination that is stereotyped by ordinary people. They have all imagined themselves to be connected with the stars, calling out to them like picking stars.

Olga Marie is no exception.

But at this moment, with the help of the Monkey King's ever-changing power——

She truly had the 'miracle of reaching for the stars' in her hands!
The Earthly Evil changes.

What exactly is the so-called Earthly Evil?
It is the power of the earth, the power of the planet beneath our feet.

In other words, the 'Earthly Evil Transformation' is different from the 'Heavenly Evil Transformation'. Although it is counterintuitive, in the eyes of magicians, the essence of the 'Earthly Evil 72 Transformations', which uses the power of stars to display a myriad of changes, is -

"The power of cosmic order - is in my hands!"

Even Olga Marie couldn't help but speak more confidently!
"The candidate for the arbiter of the universe's order - this is Son Wukong. No! This is the essence of his original spiritual foundation before he was named 'Son Wukong'!"

Shirou: I don't understand what you say, but it sounds pretty impressive. Are all you magicians so good at talking nonsense?
Although Shirou couldn't quite tell whether Olga Marie was talking nonsense or not.

But from the results, Shirou could understand and intuitively see what she was going to do!

"Turn it on!"

"Aries Gate!"

"Taurus Gate!"

"Cancer Gate!"

"Virgo's Gate!"

"Libra's Gate!"

"Scorpio Gate!"

"Sagittarius Gate!"

"Capricorn Gate!"

"Aquarius Gate!"

"The Pisces Gate!"

The Gold Saints - oh no, it's the spirits of the twelve zodiac signs, summoned by Olga Marie to the maximum extent!

This is what Olga Marie found, how to use the power of the Monkey King - the 'Power of Heaven' - for herself in the most efficient way possible!

This incident is also recorded in Journey to the West. When Sun Wukong asked for reinforcements, the easiest people to call upon were the star officials!
That is--

The effect of 'Power of Heaven' is to summon as many star spirits as possible to the maximum extent possible!

"Open it!——Star spirits of the eighty-eight stars in the sky!"

The earth is the stars. (Note: This is a different concept from the "Heaven, Earth, Human, and Star Servant" in the Servant System.)
The so-called earth is the path connecting to the essence of the planet.

When the presence of star power is brought to the limit by Olga Marie, not only the star spirits given names by humans come to help!

It even made the breath of Athena, the goddess of the earth, resonate with it!
Shirou, who was not very familiar with this kind of complicated and profound knowledge of magic, expressed his thoughts at the moment very frankly: "This is the so-called 'Saint Seiya who protects Athena'."

Ok.

In fact, it has basically nothing to do with that, but for modern people, when mentioning constellations and Athena, they will subconsciously think of the plot in "Saint Seiya".

Leaving aside the flaws in the details, the fact is that Olga Marie did have this idea.

Some of the star spirits of the eighty-eight constellations are heroes, some are monsters, and some were originally gods, but at this moment, they all appeared as side profiles of star spirits, some boarding the Argonauts, the 'Gathering Place of Heroes', or guarding the Argonauts because of their overly large bodies.

A battle of truly mythical proportions is taking place against the infinitely proliferating mass-produced Typhon!

then.

As Olga Marie fully unleashed her physical strength as the "Star Priestess" with the help of the power of heaven, the Earth Goddess Athena resonated with the stars in the sky.

"Found it! Location confirmed!"

Athena's location has been confirmed!
Almost at the moment of confirmation, the Typhon mass-produced divine machines that had originally surrounded the Argo changed their original attitude of encirclement and attack and turned to defending in the direction of Athena!
"Shirou! Save your strength first, I'll try- No!"

Olga Marie was suddenly interrupted when she was about to say something. Illya took her place and said what this girl, who had always lacked confidence and had always been unlucky in life, would easily fall in love with someone as long as they were really nice to her, really wanted to say:
"At times like this, you should say - 'Leave it to me'!"

That's right!

Let Olga Marie take charge of the final step of clearing the way!

Believe it! There is no need for a reason to believe!

The gathered wishes will become the shining star of rebirth!

Become a shining path!
That's right!

Olga Marie gritted her teeth and said, "Leave this to me! I am the director of Chaldea, your superior, your boss - it is my responsibility to help you!"

Illya: "Don't be so tsundere at a time like this. It's too late for you to cosplay as Rin in disguise now."

"I, I! I don't have the same crazy thoughts as you do!"

Olga Marie took a deep breath.

The Star Maiden began to sing. The first human who sang raised his head and turned his gaze away from the wildness of hunting and survival on the earth. When he looked up at the starry sky, the first astrologer was born. The Star Maiden used this to engrave the first legend passed down by human nature:

"As far as the sky, as many stars as possible!"

"Show me your glory and reveal your true self!"

"I order you to open the gate to the wilderness!"

"——Shine!"

"Eighty-eight stars in the sky!"

This is the most powerful blow that Olga Marie can unleash now that she has obtained the power of heaven!
"People give stars names, and stars acquire human nature. Son of man, walk with the lights of the stars. This is a prayer, an origin, a blessing, and an expectation. The essence of astrology is the embodiment of human hope for the future—"

The future is confusing, just like the darkness of the universe, full of terrifying uncertainty.

In the vast interstellar space, the places reached by human beings are like isolated islands in the vast ocean.

The most terrifying thing is not a powerful monster.

It is the fear of the unknown, the fear and confusion of the uncontrollable future.

For this reason, in the most ancient dark ages, in the beginning when the stories of the gods had not yet been woven together, when the first human began to look up at the stars and was moved by the shining starlight in the dark universe, the first astrologers were born. Starlight -

The first light in the universe came into contact with human beings.

With hope, longing for a hopeful future, wanting to see through the fog and take the future into one's own hands - this is the original mysterious inheritance of mankind, the 'Grand Order' of mankind's first magicians, 'astrologers'.

Humans who fell in love with the stars weaved stories for them.

Astrologers rely on the stars to predict the future and bring the power of the stars to the earth and to humans!
"This is the strongest and most powerful ultimate attack that an astrologer can display in order to 'protect the future' and 'take back the future'!"

Honestly.

After realizing that she was actually dead, the life that truly belonged to Olga Marie had been wiped out, and what was here now was just a miraculous coincidence in the process of soul particle transfer, like the cat in Dr. Schrödinger's box, which would die once it was opened.

In other words, one's own 'future' has been destroyed.

Olga Marie was horrified.

She didn't know what would happen to her after she opened the box - after the singularity was destroyed.

Just thinking about and imagining such a future made her tremble with fear.

But it's different now.

There is nothing to be afraid of anymore.

Holding her hand, Shirou's pure, trusting heart without any lies or impurities warmed Olga Marie's 'future'.

(Even if my death is inevitable, even if the real Olga Marie has turned to ashes, I am just a collection of thoughts and an existence like embers. I also want to believe in the future.)
Want to live.

(So, let me type it out!)
(Stars, please let me, who always fails and is incompetent, shine once!)
(Not for me, but for the future he believed in!)

When people transcend hope and embrace dreams, a new future will emerge in the distant beyond!

Go beyond the limits and hold it in your hands!
[The seventh time! The last time!]

[Olga Marie's 'Human Legends and Star Chart History' 1D1000=809 (YA☆DA☆ZE)]

After summoning the eighty-eight stars in the sky, he continued to perform this star magic, and the ultimate attack might have taken centuries to chant (read the bar)!
"——【Human Legend·Star Chart History】!"

The light turned into a road, continuously extending forward - towards Athena!

Blocking the Argonaut right in front of it, the seemingly infinite Typhon mass-produced divine machines that were countering this move were unable to stop it for even a moment!

This light is the manifestation of the cosmic order. It is a blow formed by the embodiment of a part of the cosmic order through human prayers!
It was pushed forward directly - a vacuum zone was cleared in front in one breath!

I see!
Athena's location!

Before the mass-produced Typhon machines could multiply to an overwhelming number, Jason, who was carried to the front by his teacher, Chiron, the celestial spirit of Sagittarius (Centaurus), known as the Lord of the Three-Star Cave of the Slanting Moon in Greece, drove the Argo and rushed to Athena in one breath.

To be precise, it is in front of the 'core' of Typhon, the King of Monsters!
In front of the gathered star spirits was a pitch-black sphere that looked almost as big as the moon.

Athena's reaction was inside! She was imprisoned inside the dark sphere!

Is this thing the 'core' of Typhon, the King of Monsters?
But if you say it is the core of a monster, an important organ like the heart, it doesn't seem right.

Shirou felt an indescribable strange 'malice'.

It was somewhat similar to the time when we faced the incarnation of the evil god during the Fuyuki Incident ten years ago, but it was also fundamentally different.

When the evil god is incarnated, it is the evil intention called "false truth, goodness and beauty", which is a so-called high-sounding rhetoric, and it is natural that a small number of weak people have to make sacrifices.

The so-called beast of truth, goodness and beauty is essentially the result of the misuse of the beautiful quality of "self-sacrifice" originally possessed by humans, that is, the so-called "righteousness".

This should be the greatest "selfless love" of human spiritual power.

But after going to extremes, it reversed and became the most "selfish oppression".

To put it bluntly, it is to stigmatize the "belief in self-sacrifice" and use moral shackles to force others to sacrifice for themselves.

In Shinji's words, she is a so-called 'moral bitch'.

Shirou felt a similar "evil" breath from the darkness of the moon-sized black ball that was used to imprison Athena. The dark ball was not the black mud that was closely related to the dragon demon during the Fuyuki Incident, but a misty "gas".

What's the next step?
Just go in and kill them?
If Shirou was alone, he would definitely have chosen this directly.

But he has companions around him, companions who can help him think and fight side by side with him to complement his strengths and weaknesses!

Although most of the time it's Toosaka Rin who does this job.

But Toosaka Rin often reminds Shirou: "Don't always act alone. At least have an expert in the field of magic by your side. Only in this way can you fully tap the potential of your physique. Otherwise, if you are alone, Shirou, you will unknowingly become obsessed with killing with 'high efficiency'!"

Shirou used to wonder, "Is it wrong to kill the enemy, to kill the evil people?"

Toosaka Rin: "I'm not here to discuss with you the procedural justice that often appears in superhero movies! I-we are all just simply worried about you! Worried that you will always insist on your own way and get yourself hurt-that's just not you, Shirou!"

In the past, Shirou had always found it difficult to understand this, but out of trust in Toosaka Rin, he tried his best to follow her instructions.

But now it's different. After the transaction with the Smoke Mirror, Shirou understands this feeling a little bit.

Shirou wasn't lacking in emotion.

However, due to the mushroom man's stubborn physical condition, whenever Shirou had the urge to ask others for help, he would unconsciously suppress it - the reason was often "it's more efficient for me to handle it alone than to involve others".

Similar thinking logic permeates every aspect of Shirou.

Therefore, Shirou Emiya in the celestial world is often considered to be a "pseudo-three-nothing", an existence that is "more like a machine than a human" or "some kind of humanoid rescue device".

Because of this, Shirou tends to be slow in many things.

But now, with the help of the smoke mirror, Shirou has begun to change a little bit——

"This thing gives me a very disgusting feeling." Shirou told Olga Marie and Illya beside him, "It feels similar to the original evil god incarnation, but it is a different kind."

Olga Marie fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Illya had experienced that battle after all - although she was not considered a combatant at the time - and immediately responded: "You mean 'Beast'?"

"I think it feels like a 'larva', but it doesn't feel right."

Shirou confessed:

"Honestly, I can't describe it accurately, but my intuition tells me that this thing is 'neither up nor down', and its relationship with Gaia is not one, but a kind of 'chimera' state."

Shirou's description was very abstract.

But Illya immediately caught the strange part: "Shirou, do you think this thing is similar to the original incarnation of the evil god?"

Shirou nodded, "Yes."

"Full of the feeling of 'human malice'?"

"Yeah." Shirou continued nodding.

Olga Marie: “.”

Olga Marie fell into deep thought. As the star priestess who had the closest relationship with the planet—or the one who was "closest" to it in terms of soul, she vaguely grasped the unnaturalness of it.
But time is running out, and the number of Typhon mass-produced machines is still increasing. If Olga Marie uses the "Star Chart History" continuously in a short period of time, she may not be able to support it even at this moment.

Who knows, the embers of Olga Marie might really burn out!

Try your best to think about it. If you really can’t figure out where the problem lies, then rely on courage and will to open up a path and keep moving forward!
Don't stop!

[Can Olga Marie perceive the true nature of the 'Gai's malicious manifestation towards humanity' before her eyes? ]

[If you succeed in detecting it, there will be more options for subsequent actions, and there will be additional bonus corrections]

[Difficulty: 90 (Time is tight and there is no time for in-depth analysis, so the difficulty has increased)]

"This is the interior of Typhon, which is controlled by Gaia. What is in front of us is the cage that Gaia used to devour and imprison Athena. This cage, which was created by malice, should be..."

Olga Marie murmured:
"Normally it should be 'the malice of the planet', but why is it that here, as the core of the King of Monsters Typhon, it is 'the malice of mankind'?"

"No, that's not right!"

"I have always found it strange. Normally, something like 'planetary malice' should not exist. Gaia consciousness is just a biological instinct that hates humans, but this is only an instinct targeting the characteristics of the human race, not targeted malice.

For a void life like a planet, it should not care about the cycle of life and death. In the long period of 4.6 billion years, human beings have a history of only hundreds of thousands to millions of years at most, and the real human era is only a few thousand years.

Such a short history is not enough for the Earth to harbor malice towards humans, so this is... malice from humans?"

Olga Marie's eyes lit up!
She thought of the key clue!
When Athena summoned the King of Monsters Typhon, she mentioned something like "Since you can use human myths, so can I!"

The planet's hostility towards humans does not come from the planet itself.

But - human beings themselves!
"Humanity's malice towards itself is released through the planet itself. This is actually a curse and pollution imposed by humans on the planet. This curse is the root cause of the real anger of Gaia Consciousness!"

"What do you mean?" Shirou asked in a deep voice.

Olga Marie hesitated.

In that brief moment of hesitation, Illya took advantage of the opportunity to occupy Olga Marie's body, and then kissed her as countless Argonauts watched and exclaimed "Wow!"

Psychic magic.jpg
Olga Marie was a little confused: Is this considered as me being awesome?
Shirou, through in-depth and easy-to-understand communication with Olga Marie (Illya), obtained the intelligence knowledge needed to explain the current situation.

To be precise, the knowledge required to understand the enemy should only be common sense.

but!

This is common sense to modern people in most world lines.

But it is different for the celestial world!
In the celestial world, because the technology tree of computer magic (the spirit world) was detonated too early, humans got rid of the "energy crisis" early - although they also had to face the threat of various greater "survival) digital crises, but in general, Shirou of the celestial world, who got rid of the energy crisis early, did lack common sense in this regard.

That is--

"'Environmentalism' should be called something like this."

Environmentalist thinking.

A trend of thought that emerged in modern times and blossomed and borne fruit in modern times.

Its essence is definitely good.

But like many similar things, it was inevitably implemented badly during the execution process.

"The core idea of 'environmentalism' is that the development of human civilization and the exploitation of resources will harm 'Mother Earth', the home planet of mankind."

"It is precisely because of this that humans will be retaliated by Mother Earth. The frequent occurrence of various natural and man-made disasters is proof of this—"

“——This is common sense that is deeply rooted in people’s minds.”

Olga Marie stressed:

"But it is also a lie. It is the result of a distortion and malicious corruption of the originally correct and kind principle of 'human love'."

First of all.

In the eyes of magicians, the earth does not like humans at all, and there is no point in calling them "Mother Earth." Although they have no targeted malice, they have an instinctive, physiological aversion to the existence of humans themselves.

In the final analysis——

"Humans can't really harm the Earth. The so-called destruction of the environment is not harming the Earth at all!"

"In the final analysis, if we simply judge good and bad by the environment, the development of modern human civilization, compared with the various 'mass extinction events' caused by the planet in the past 4.6 billion years, is simply the difference between rotten grass and the bright moon!"

"The real core of environmentalism is 'protecting the environment for human survival' and 'in order to protect more humans, we should intentionally limit environmental pollution during the development process'."

"Shirou, you may not understand. In many future normal world lines, environmentalism has almost become a 'notorious' thing."

"There is no doubt that the original intention is good. This is a kind of humility that humans use to advise themselves."

"Environmental protection is not the opposite of development and progress. Rather, it is to better protect the environment in which humans live - and thus better protect humans. This is why we need to develop things like 'clean energy'."

"But for a very long time, the reality in terms of implementation was that it wasn't the case."

"The self-admonition of 'humility' turned into a lesson of 'arrogance'."

"Economically developed countries have distorted 'environmentalism', which is a manifestation of human love, into 'environmental tax'."

"The establishment of environmental taxes transfers the cost of pollution to other backward countries, or maliciously hinders the development of other countries under the banner of environmental protection. The purpose is to make backward countries always backward, so that the upper class can reap the benefits of the technological gap from the lower class."

“Humans are arrogant enough to think they can actually harm the Earth.”

"Even in modern times, many doomsday religions use the name of 'environmentalism' to exaggerate that the earth's anger will lead to the end of the world - in order to deceive mankind."

"In the name of protection, we are obstructing all development - even if it is for the purpose of environmental protection"

"He talks a lot about sentiment and justice, but his heart is all about business."

"What was originally intended to be a sustainable development and progress has turned into a 'malicious' effort to hinder the development and progress of underdeveloped countries."

"Well-intentioned thoughts are executed with malicious intent, and human love eventually degenerates into the opposite side, human evil."

"Originally, the Earth did not have any malicious intent towards humans."

"In the end, because 'humans felt that the Earth had ill intentions towards them' - they cursed the Earth, forcibly endowed, forced, and 'chime'-like, implanted the curse of malice towards humans into the Earth's chaotic consciousness."

"'Anti-progress' - that is the nature of the King of Monsters we are facing!"

"No, that can't be said. It should be said that it is the essence that causes it to lose control. Humanity's malice towards itself, its self-righteous arrogance and 'self-humility' are manifested through the monsters of Gaia's consciousness."

Olga Marie hesitated.

Her explanation is actually correct and there is nothing wrong with it. It can explain the current situation.

But, there is a problem.

There is a very unnatural question.

Olga Marie herself knew what the problem was, and Shirou also pointed it out:

"In your memory intelligence, I see that in many modern Western countries, there is belittlement and ridicule against so-called 'nerds' and 'smart people'.
But in the big country in the East, this is not true, right? "

indeed.

In a certain Eastern country, there are still more than one billion people who firmly believe that "development and progress are above all else."

Environmental protection does not mean the denial of progress.

Progress is the best way to achieve environmental protection and sustainable development.

If so many people think so.
"'Beast against progress' - normally it shouldn't be possible! More than a billion people in the Eastern country have been trying to prevent the birth of this most terrifying human beast!" Illya pointed out the key point.

"But it just appeared! It appeared in front of us!" Olga Marie said helplessly, "That's the only explanation, right? Facts speak louder than words. There may be some details that we don't have enough information about right now, but the fact is that we are now facing the young of the 'Beast of Anti-Progress'!

Athena was caught off guard because she didn't expect this to happen, right?"

Chiron, the great Greek sage who had been listening to the children's discussion, stood up at this time and said, "It is the so-called 'paradox species'. Its origin is unknown, its true identity is unknown - but let's put those questions aside for now. At least now, we know what the enemy is, and what we have to do is clear."

Let’s decide on the next specific combat strategy!
[How to rescue Athena from the 'Anti-Progress Gaia Consciousness' in front of us? ]

[1/3/4, create the 'Paradox Armor' to fight against it, rush in and rescue Athena! ]

[2/5/6, How about long-range attack, "shooting" Athena from the outside? ]
