Starting from Toaru Majutsu no Index, take stock of the supreme world of anime!

If I had buried the body and immediately returned home,

[Perhaps I wouldn't be in such a state of constant anxiety and living in fear for the rest of my life.]

The moment these lines disappear.

In the live broadcast room.

The dark mountains are like a barrier, stretching endlessly to the left and right.

The dark, bare slopes, the jagged, ridged glaciers, and the mountain pass loomed ominously ahead like a vast fortress.

If you want to see the whole picture, you have to fly over the Black Mountains.

The lowest mountain pass is not far to the right of the camp and can be seen from the camp.

Before officially setting off.

William Dale gathered everyone together, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"At this point, we can still turn back."

"Right now, there are only two options before us: pack up and go home."

"Leave behind the bizarre circumstances of the camp massacre and the ambitions of Antarctic scientific research."

"Or bravely enter the forbidden area."

"Finding Gedney, the only missing person, will at least give the families of the victims some closure."

His voice was tinged with heaviness.

Because Lake's actions were carried out with his permission.

But now this situation has occurred, if we can't find out clearly.

What's the point of him being the captain?!

"In this storm-ravaged snowy plateau, the missing Gedni is probably already dead. Flying over such a high Black Mountain is too risky."

"Dale, could you please reconsider?"

"This is too dangerous."

Among the team, Pabodi is more inclined to the former.

But at this moment, William Dale's eyes were filled with determination.

"Pabodie, you know this flight was necessary. He must know something as to why the Lake expedition team was completely wiped out in this situation."

"Find him... or find his body."

"It will be the only way to resolve the abnormal situation. We cannot give up easily!"

He said in a deep voice.

His hands clenched into fists at this moment, having made such a great sacrifice this time.

You can't leave here without knowing the reason!

As a brave man who dedicated himself to science, Lake deserves to go back and receive the crown!

"Come on, Danforth."

"Don't worry, I'll try to be back within fifteen hours."

"I will contact you by telegram every hour."

After William Dale finished speaking.

He brought Danforth onto the plane.

The anger in his eyes was clearly visible, as was the exploration and rationality burning in his heart.

Today, he will fly over the Black Mountain!

We will not give up until we find the missing Gedney!

If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body!

His enlightenment.

This made many viewers in the live broadcast room sigh in admiration for a moment.

Being able to make such a decision is worthy of the courage of scientific explorers.

This is the golden spirit that humans possess.

The audience was talking about it for a while.

"Well said! Even in a world as dangerous as this, there will still be people who stand up and explore the secrets of the world!"

"For humans, no matter what the unknown looks like!"

“The exploration will not stop easily!”

9:00 AM

The storm finally subsided

We boarded the reduced-weight plane and began our flight.

The camp is located at the foot of a plateau at an altitude of 12,000 feet.

[So the actual altitude the plane climbed to was not that high]

【but】

[As the plane rises, the air becomes thinner and the temperature becomes lower]

We put on our thickest furs.

[Slowly flying the plane, approaching those evil black forbidden peaks]

With increasing altitude

What attracted us most were the regular cubes, castles and caves on the hillside.

【Experienced endless eternity】

The edges of these regular structures have been broken and rounded by wind erosion, but their extraordinary strength and hardness have protected them from the erosion of time.

[And on the hillside, there are caves dotted with stars]

【Even more confusing】

The sheer number and widespread distribution of these caves suggests that countless channels eroded through the limestone have transformed the entire area into a complex honeycomb system.

"Ahh! Professor!"

“The caves there are exactly like the dots on the green soapstone!”

Danforth couldn't help but exclaim.

The plane gradually climbed to 23750 feet.

Amid the roar of the wind and the roar of airplane engines rushing in from the mountain pass.

Danforth and William Dale looked at each other.

Finally, he flew the aircraft across that important dividing line!

About to touch the earth.

That ancient and strange secret that has never been revealed!

The moment we passed through the mountain pass

Facing the scene before him.

Danforth and William Dell subconsciously let out screams that came from their souls.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Awe, surprise and incredible fear were intertwined in their hearts!

This magnificent spectacle is beyond imagination and defies all known laws of nature!

it's here!

On a flat plateau at an altitude of 20,000 feet!

This vast expanse of megalithic stone towers and ramparts has a grandeur unlike any other in this world!

They have stood to this day for hundreds of thousands of years—perhaps millions of years—and have been constantly eroded by fierce winds and snowstorms!

As we looked down at this incredible, miraculous sight.

"The crown of the world...the roof of the world!"

All the exclamations kept pouring out of Danforth's mouth.

William Dell's face looked extremely ugly.

Ever since he first saw this dead Antarctic world.

Those myths kept lingering in his mind and never really left.

In those myths.

"Migos, those disgusting snowmen who haunt the Himalayas."

"The Phakotic Manuscript contains hints about the pre-human existence."

"Tsathoggua, the legendary figure of the Far North, as described in the Necronomicon, and the Egg of the Stars that appeared with him."

"Could it be...that all of this is true?!"

William Dell subconsciously took a deep breath and looked up at the front.

Looking back now

【I only remember that in the distant time and space before human history】

[The terrifying architectural ruins that already exist leave us dazzled and amazed]

【perhaps】

It was my own unwavering scientific spirit that played a role.

Although I felt completely lost and terrified, deep down I still longed to uncover more of the ancient secrets of this place.

[I want to find out what creatures built this magnificent city]

These creatures

What was the relationship between the world at that time?

We also saw some star-shaped open spaces, which were obviously public squares,

[The towering hills are often hollowed out, like some kind of messy tall building]

But at least two hills are not like this.

[One of them has been weathered by the wind and sun, leaving only a small mound; the other still has a magnificent conical monument standing on it.]

So far, we haven't landed.

But as a scientific explorer

[We can’t just sit there and watch these mysterious megalithic structures]

[But instead of going in to find out, he turned around and left]

【so】

We decided to land in a flat area at the foot of a mountain near our flight path and then proceed on foot.

“Crack—.”

William Dale and Danforth trod on the hard-packed snow.

Carefully walk down into the huge maze hidden in the white mist in the west.

As your feet step over these raw stone walls.

It's amazing to think that this was built by some intelligent creature millions of years ago, before any known human population appeared.

What remains in the hearts of the two.
