Chapter 135 Tachibana Masamune's Invitation

Meanwhile, in the world of dragons.

Nearly two years have passed since Shigeru Miyamoto awakened the "Cross-border Knowledge Sharing" cheat.

Tokyo at night is ablaze with lights, like a diamond galaxy poured onto black velvet.

Beneath the heavily guarded headquarters of the Snake Clan, the Ganryu Research Institute was a secluded and cold place, completely isolated from the world.

The cold metal walls and the pure white light emitted by the shadowless lamps separated this place from the traditional Japanese-style buildings outside, creating two completely different worlds.

Inside the office, Shigeru Miyamoto, dressed in a white lab coat, sat at his computer. He was now the deputy director of the research institute.

Given his lineage, the fact that he was able to reach this position in just two years is naturally due to the overwhelming power he gained from other worlds, especially from the field of biotechnology.

At that moment, his pupils reflected the two symbols side by side on the screen.

On the left is a complex and ancient rune, a drawing of runes he created from the Marvel universe, invented by the god-king Odin.
On the right is a similarly distorted and abstract script, the dragon script of this world.

Everything before was just logical speculation, but now, when firsthand information from Asgard is transmitted.

Shigeru Miyamoto felt an uncontrollable shiver shoot up his spine to his cerebral cortex.

That was the ecstasy of researchers, the excitement of glimpsing the ultimate truth of the world.

The conjecture was confirmed.

Both being set in Norse mythology, dragon runes and runes are indeed languages ​​of the same origin.

Or rather, they are different branches of the same language system!

Human writing, whether phonetic or semantic, is born from later induction and summarization.

Phonetic writing systems, such as English, break down sounds into individual letters and then piece those letters together to form words. Their foundation is "hearing".

Ideographic writing systems, such as Chinese, depict the myriad phenomena of the world as specific symbols, giving them independent sounds and meanings, and their foundation is "visual".

Regardless of their differences, both systems are essentially tools for humans to perceive and describe the world based on their own senses.

However, the dragon race's writing and language are superior to these.

In the worldview of the dragon race, the world is composed of four elements: earth, fire, water, and wind.

This is not a simple philosophical concept of the ancients, but a precise description of the four basic forms of matter by life forms like dragons:

Earth is solid, water is liquid, wind is fluid, and fire is a violent plasma state.

Above these four material elements is the fifth element—spirit.

This alone shows that dragons possess a special sense that surpasses the five senses of humans.

They can directly interfere with, control, and command the other four elements through the spiritual element, thereby distorting the laws of physics and causing all sorts of incomprehensible phenomena; this is the "spirit of words".

Therefore, dragon runes are so abstract and difficult for humans to understand.

Most hybrids, and even dragons whose bloodlines are not so pure, use the power of words more out of instinct deep within their bloodline.

Just as birds are born to fly and fish are born to swim, they merely use these abilities without understanding the underlying principles.

However, for Shigeru Miyamoto, a former B-class hybrid, the possibility of deciphering this language has now been realized.

Because he has a higher-dimensional reference point—runes created by Odin, the god of the Marvel universe, and personally analyzed by him.

Compared to the Dragon Script, this language is like the difference between oracle bone script and modern Chinese. If the Dragon Script is a tribal language full of primitive and wild spirit, then Rune is a language that has undergone a long period of standardization and refinement.

The two may differ in specific vocabulary and pronunciation, but their underlying grammatical logic and the core rules that influence reality through the mind are the same.

This means he may be the first human in history to come closest to the essence of dragon power.

Instead, he is a "grammarian" who can completely deconstruct this divine language!
However, he still faces two major obstacles in turning this grand idea into reality.

First, the computing power required to decipher the language of a deity is astronomical.

In the Marvel universe, he's better off, having the resources of the Osborn Corporation to build supercomputers.

Its performance even far surpasses that of the supercomputer "Kaguya-hime" that the Snake Clan is so proud of.

He needs a true supercomputer, a behemoth capable of simulating rune operation and exhausting all combinations and variations of dragon runes and runes.

Secondly, and most importantly, he needs to analyze the dragon race's bloodline.

If the power of words is the "software," then the dragon bloodline is the only "hardware" that runs this software.

Without a corresponding bloodline as the source of power, all language and grammar are merely castles in the air.

Every single thing requires massive resources to support it.

However... the good news is that his carefully arranged chess game has attracted the biggest fish.

Shigeru Miyamoto turned off the screen in front of him and opened the drawer.

Inside the drawer, his research reports, which he had published in the family journal, were neatly stacked.

"A Preliminary Exploration of Using Targeted Gene Editing Technology to Stabilize Bloodline Factors in Mixed Races and Suppress 'Demonization' Phenomena," "A Conception of a Root Cause Reversal Therapy for Bloodline Instability"...

This is the bait he has been throwing out over the years, a dream that no member of the Snake Clan could refuse—to solve the problem of unstable bloodlines at its root through gene therapy, thereby completely eliminating the birth of "demons".

At first, he only received limited resources, after all, this was a problem that had plagued the Snake Clan for thousands of years, and no one believed that he could solve it.

However, despite limited resources, he still managed to produce some encouraging interim results.

And so, little by little, he worked his way up to his current position.

However, compared to his ultimate goal, this amount of resources is barely enough to fill a tooth gap.

Everything he did was to attract the man at the top of the family, the patriarch, Tachibana Munemasa.

Or rather, Herzog...

And now, he has succeeded.

A slender hand picked up something completely different from the stack of reports.

It was an invitation made of the finest paper, which carried a faint scent of ink. The characters on it were written in vigorous calligraphy, each one exuding an ancient and dignified aura.

The invitation was signed with the name he had been waiting for—Tachibana Munemasa.

Holding the weighty invitation, Shigeru Miyamoto stood in the center of the cold laboratory, a slow smile curving his lips.

There was no hint of being flattered in that smile, only the composure of a chess player watching their opponent fall into a trap.

The fish finally took the bait.
