Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

101. Vs Gaia Consciousness

——Gaia Consciousness

The will of the earth.

In this world, in this universe, almost all planets have their own consciousness.

They are the mortal enemies of mankind

Also the mortal enemy of civilization

It is the undying enemy of all intellectual life that constitutes civilization as a unit of "group".

In the final analysis, from the perspective of the universe as a whole, the civilization composed of intellectual life as a group-that is, the current status quo of human civilization on 'Earth' is abnormal.

If the condition of a planet evolves normally, a large number of life forms of different species will kill and devour each other. Eventually, they will kill each other until only one remains. That life form will be the ultimate life form standing at the top of the planet. In a literal sense, planet-level combat power is equivalent to an agent of the will of the planet where it is located.

In mysticism, this kind of life is called - Ultimate ONE

To use an analogy, it is probably the monster in the tokusatsu film starring Ultraman, or the will of the planet incarnated as Godzilla on the set of Godzilla.

For the will of the planet, the normal growth trajectory of each planet should be to give birth to its own UO. Only by having its own UO can it be qualified to debut as an adult planet in the planet's social circle at the cosmic level.

This kind of civilization like today's human theory is an abnormal situation - after all, the so-called earthlings living now are not the life breeds of the earth itself - to be more precise, all species existing on the earth today are not. The life that the earth breeds.

Strictly speaking, on the current earth, only the 'Dead Apostles', who are the realistic prototypes of the 'vampire' in human civilization, can barely be regarded as the earth's native species.

Today's prosperous human species is nothing more than an invader occupying a magpie's nest.

In fact, the earth has never stopped trying to exterminate the human species. What the human species is stepping on is not the mother earth that gave birth to itself, but a crazy butcher.

However, for the planet and Gaia consciousness - their concept of time is really too slow compared to humans.

Gaia's plan to exterminate human beings has never stopped, but this specific massacre process is very long, and is promoted in units of "ten thousand years" or even "hundred thousand years".

From the perspective of Gaia Consciousness, this may be very fast.

But for the human species, this is too long.

Even if it is the wrath of the world, for humans, if it is divided equally into every day of a hundred thousand years, it may not even be felt.

After all, the characteristic of the human species is the 'spirit that can create miracles'. Therefore, the survival instinct of the human collective unconscious creates the 'Alaya Consciousness', a collection of human unconsciousness. The main job of the Alaya Consciousness is to communicate with Gaia. Although conscious confrontation cannot prevent the various disasters it causes, it can at least reduce the scale of the disasters.

For a minor planet like the Earth - a planet that has not been able to give birth to its own UO -, when there is really nothing you can do, there is only one way to forcibly eliminate civilization on the Earth, and that is to send an SOS signal to the planet's social circle.

In this case, other adult planets will send their own UOs. Occasionally, there will be UOs who have lost their own planets and want to find a new place to live, or wanderers who have become one with the UOs. Planet came to see the situation.

But this situation is very rare. Maybe the planet also has a so-called "shame". It is very unspeakable for the planet to send out such a distress signal.

It is not that there are no planets that coexist with the group civilizations on them, but they are few in number, and they are considered as aliens on the planet, like killing horses.

Most of them are the kind of civilization that kills its own mother to move towards the cosmic era.

However, the Gaia Consciousness, the will of the earth, can be regarded as an outlier among many planets.

She did not send a distress signal now, but she did in the future. In the distant Oort Nebula, there is an ultimate life form UO that received the information from the future, but because of the wrong time, the message was sent by mistake. The collision arrived at Earth countless years ahead of schedule.

Now it has landed in the Grand Canyon area of ​​South America. It is sleeping, waiting in its sleep for the future arrival of Gaia consciousness to formally ask for help from other planets——

"——Why the hell are you telling me this!"

Lu Mingfei's angry roar stirred up a storm in the spiritual world, tearing to pieces the screen projection interface of various information and data that Lu Mingze had thrust in front of him.

"I'm not here to listen to you telling me this! Although I'm not good at this kind of learning! But I also know how dangerous Gaia consciousness is. The warning in Da Vinci's tutoring class made my ears tremble. No need! You don’t need to make up lessons with me anymore!”

Lu Mingze sighed.

"Brother, don't you think about why that Leonardo Da Vinci often tells you this during extra classes? She is pretending to be confused because she understands."

"Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen! I don't want to hear any more nonsense from you Riddlers! I don't understand any of the planets, UOs, or ultimate life forms, and I don't want to understand them!"

Lu Mingfei clenched his fists, thunder and black lightning began to come from the storm in the spiritual world, and the anger seemed to tear the whole world apart.

"Bugger is my friend! He is one of those rare people who doesn't talk about riddles and becomes my friend simply because he is happy. I don't want to know anything now, I only know that I want to save her! Then Wodem The boss will find him and beat him up! No matter what the plot is before this, you just spiked me!"

The meaning is obvious.

"I asked you to come out to ask for your power! If you want the fourth quarter, take it! Give me the power to destroy Gaia, destroy Kirshtalia, and save the chin grid right now. ! You decide whether to give it to me or not!"

"Of course I'm on your side, brother."

The little devil let out a long sigh and seemed to be distressed by Lu Mingfei's hostility towards him at this time.

"We are one, brother. If you are willing to trade, I will naturally give it to you, but I must remind you to prevent you from suffering in the future. Brother who still says that I didn't remind you or anything, from a natural standpoint, we should be Gaia knows what’s on the other side.”

"That's you! I don't know what you are, but I'm human! It must be human!"

The little devil showed a sad expression.

This was the first time Lu Mingfei had seen such an expression on his face. It was not a pretense of acting for anyone to see. It was not strong, just a touch of sadness.

"If this is what you want, then try this one quarter this time. To deal with Gaia consciousness, you need to try wielding this [Planet End (Lvateinn)], but I still say that, Brother, you are always fighting against some supermodel enemies, so I can't guarantee that just these fourteen quarters can help you defeat the enemy. But brother, your purpose is not to 'destroy' but to 'save', right? Then Use it to save that girl.”

Lu Mingze stretched out his hand to Lu Mingfei.

As long as I hold this hand, the fourth quarter will pass. Thinking about it this way, I seem to have quite a lot of spare time.

☆

--Sudden

The moment when Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze's 'deal' was about to be concluded - the moment before that was interrupted.

"We don't need your protection!"

Lu Mingfei only felt his shoulder being pulled hard from behind, and he staggered. When he regained his balance, he had returned to reality from the spiritual world, and Lu Mingze was no longer in front of him.

Instead - crescent moon.

Mikazuki Melsin, the angry Melsin, who had just forcibly removed the [Tobiichi Origami Sealing Technique] imposed on her by Kirshtalia, still saw some cracks and repairs on her body. Wound.

Lu Mingfei didn't know how she got herself into this situation, but it was obvious that her condition was not much better. The blood that overflowed from the wounds quickly turned into light particles and dissipated in the air. It is almost like Bagster (Yatogami Tohka) who was forced to serve as a container to receive the power of Gaia consciousness in Tengu City on the earth at this time.

Was she affected too?

Why? Is it because of the connection between the four android girls?

Lu Mingfei couldn't understand. He just felt anxious and tried to immediately re-establish contact and trading power with Lu Mingze——

but.

"I told you! We don't need you to protect us! We don't need you to sacrifice yourself, brother!"

Sanriyue forcibly interrupted Lu Mingfei for the second time. Lu Mingfei was stunned. He felt that his mind was a little confused. He didn't know whether it was because of the content of San Riyue's speech or because she was able to interrupt the contact between Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze repeatedly.

"It's not your turn to sacrifice yourself. The strongest me is here! I'll be responsible for handling these - damn Kirshtalia, you just used this method to overturn the table while I was still incomplete. , are all magicians a group of lunatics who think that theoretically feasible is not enough, so they act rashly!?"

Mikazuki cursed and looked at 'Itsuka Kotori' in the commander's position.

"Master! Is it okay? Can you let me in?! I must deal with Bagster's situation immediately!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka, whom she calls Master Itsuka Kotori - Fujimaru Ritsuka, who still looks like Itsuka Kotori, did not answer directly, but instead asked a strange question.

She looked a little strange: "Melusin, when did your relationship with Bagster become so good?"

"Who has a good relationship with her! Besides, does a sister need a reason to protect her sister!?"

"Obviously you were born later than her, and you are the youngest of four children."

"But my degree of completion is higher than theirs! That's how experiments like us are. The later they are born, the higher the degree of completion, so they are stronger, so they are sisters. Master, you don't need to confirm whether my mental state is stable, [Cinderella] The magic is still working, I can go on! Still saying"

Melusin gritted her teeth, a dangerous aura constantly pouring out of her golden vertical pupils, and the captivating aura swept through everyone in the command center with her as the center.

"Are you on the side that agrees with Kirshtalia's behavior!? You are also a magician after all——"

"calm down."

Although Lu Mingfei was able to move, he couldn't calmly comfort Melusin who was like a beast.

Standing up, hugging Melusin, and comforting her was Alice Watson, who had been almost forgotten because she had been deliberately avoiding her.

Or rather, Lady Bertha.

"Calm down and think, Melusin, you are the strongest, but your thoughts are always too negative. Don't let anger cloud your heart."

"."

“Don’t give up thinking just because you’re angry.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka also sighed and comforted Melusin: "I am also very angry. Like you, like Senior Brother Lu, Kirshtalia's behavior this time is indeed excessive, but he is a genius, so naturally he will not You may not know that even if Bagster can be used as a container, this container will definitely not be able to withstand the power of Gaia's consciousness, not even a part of it. Therefore, the next step is the key point. You must confirm the situation before attacking. .”

Of course Fujimaru Ritsuka was angry.

As a righteous partner, Kirshtalia's behavior of "sacrificing her companions" naturally made her angry. Fujimaru Ritsuka vaguely realized that although Kirshtalia loved her companions, she did not treat people other than her companions. The unexpected cruelty is no different from that of ordinary magicians.

In other words, Kirshtalia did not regard Bagster as a companion.

Although Bagster is a friend of Lu Mingfei and the entire Muse. But just as a vassal’s vassal is not my vassal, Kirshtalia does not seem to regard Bagost as her own because she is a companion of a companion. companion.

Fujimaru Ritsuka is angry, but also calm.

The knowledge in her head told her that even though Bagster had obtained the spirit base of the legendary goblin 'Black Dog Bagster' in northern England due to the effect of [Cinderella Magic], even the spirit of the black dog The base plus Gawain's spiritual base, both together are far from enough to serve as a container for the power of Gaia's consciousness to come.

Rather, it was abnormal that Lu Mingfei could not withstand the situation in France and transformed into an earth giant (Gaia) to repel the extraterritorial life form (sea demon).

Kirshtalia is clearly not an idiot.

Before he did this, of course he knew that it was impossible to contain the power of Gaia's consciousness with just Bagster's words.

To put it bluntly, Bagster was captured by him to use as a material to create 'Yatogami Toka', and the reason why he wanted to create 'Yatogami Toka' was to use her as a synchronization material with Gai Ya Shi got in touch.

Calling upon such power is very dangerous.

Danger does not only come from uncontrollable power.

There is another very dangerous point, and Kirshtalia must be very aware of it:

That is, Gaia consciousness may gain ‘personality’ in this process.

The Gaia consciousness itself is conscious and has personality, but the three views of the Gaia consciousness are the three views of the planet. She hates human beings and is constantly destroying human civilization. However, because of the three views of the planet, this process of destruction will last for thousands of years. Carry out in units of years.

The planet's concept of time will feel that "this speed is very fast", but the human concept of time will not feel that way.

On the other hand, if the consciousness of Gaia is really successfully brought to the body of 'Yatogami Tohka (Bagst)', allowing her to gain the human concept of time, she will most likely "spend ten". The action "Destroy human civilization in ten thousand years" was changed to "Destroy human civilization in one day."

(But now it’s the incineration of humanity, and objectively speaking, human civilization has been destroyed. Is Kirshtalia planning to take a gamble on whether this bug can get stuck?)

The more Fujimaru Ritsuka thought about it, the more he felt a headache.

But it is obvious that Kirshtalia is aware of the danger, and he is a smart person, so he must have considered ways to control Earth Sky (Yatogami Toka/Bagster).

For example, if one jar is not enough, take out more jars?

Of course, in addition to these complicated methods, there is actually a very simple method that treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.

That is - fight with her and let her release the excess energy in her body.

After all, how could there be a container suitable for the power of Gaia's consciousness in this world? Even if there is, if Gaia doesn't want to, is there any way to forcefully transfer the power into the container?

Fujimaru Hiroyo was suddenly stunned.

It seems like there really is such a person?

At the same time, in the center of Tiangong City, the ruins of the city that appeared due to the summoning of Gaia consciousness were surrounded by 'elves', the AST force - this was very subtle in the original story and could not defeat the elves at all. The soy sauce army appeared——

The leader came up with a kick - directly kicking Bagster a thousand meters away. Even the process of Gaia's consciousness constantly instilling power into her body was forcibly interrupted for a moment.

I saw that the person was dressed like a pink magical girl, and she was holding up something like a magic wand in the magical girl cartoons of the old era. In the AST unit, all members were equipped with ancient Greek high-tech flying mechas, they looked somewhat... Out of place or funny.

"Magical Girl Ruby! Come on!"

A strange cheating character appears!
