Start with Type-Moon, but Magical Index Magician

The grilled fish is baked to perfection, the skin becomes golden brown and crispy, while the meat inside still retains a fresh and tender taste. Every bite seems to be full of the aroma of fish oil, which is the purest gift from the depths of the ocean.

The fresh and crisp lettuce, like a messenger of spring, brings refreshing greenness and a slight sweetness, gently wrapping every piece of grilled fish, which not only relieves greasiness but also enhances the flavor.

It was obviously just a simple cooking method, but it produced such a taste that Medea's cheeks were filled with food. She couldn't help but eat several bites. It was not until she saw the other person's smile that she suddenly reacted.

"Oh, no, this is Morpheus' breakfast, but I ate so much of it by myself!" As she thought this, her cheeks quickly began to turn red, bright red, and hot red.

"Ahhh, I'm so embarrassed! He must think I'm a big eater. He definitely thinks so! Goddess of magic Hecate, what should I do?!"

Morpheus just smiled and said nothing. He just looked at the shy girl in front of him quietly and thought she was so beautiful.

In other words, compared to the gloomy and cruel witch who later appeared, the current Medea was more attractive to him.

Finally, after remaining silent for almost half a minute, he said softly, "As expected, the way you are now suits you."

"Eh?" Medea was stunned by these inexplicable words. The sentence was very simple and she could easily understand its meaning, but she found herself unable to understand the information contained in the sentence.

"What does Morpheus mean? Why did he suddenly express such emotion? It's like he has seen me before and is very familiar with me?"

"It's nothing, just a casual remark of a traveler. Also, thank you Miss Medea for recognizing my cooking skills." Morpheus smiled. His words made Medea blush again. She wanted to explain herself but couldn't say anything.

Morpheus then said, "But I'll leave today's lunch to Miss Medea."

This request finally made Medea breathe a sigh of relief. She nodded quickly without any hesitation: "No problem, whether it's lunch or dinner, you can let me take care of it!"

"Well, it's almost time. Please, Miss Medea, take me to the temple of the goddess Hecate."

Morpheus finally said that as a magician, especially a magician of the Golden Dawn, he would not have too much hesitation when he could come into contact with the existence of God!

Even though the gods of this world were different from the gods he understood, it would not be bad for his own pursuit of magic to have more contact with and learn more about such high-ranking beings.

Chapter 7 Goddess Hecate

According to Morpheus's memory, or based on some plots he saw on forums, post bars, and Bilibili Cloud, the Greek gods of Type-Moon are different from the legends he knows. The Greek gods here are a group of aliens, and they cannot even be called human beings, but machines.

This artificial intelligence life form, created by an unknown advanced civilization, came to Earth. Because it was worshipped by primitive humans, or because it was flattered too much, it forgot its mission.

They made a decision that went against their ancestors.

That is, in the future, their goal changed from "completing the mission of our ancestors" to "let us love humanity."

If their ancestors knew what happened, they would definitely want to kill them all.

They were created by other creatures and are different from ordinary gods. While being worshipped as gods by humans, they are also madly in contact with humans and are becoming more and more similar to humans, at least in their temperament.

Originally, it should have continued like this, but a huge crisis arose, which led to the complete destruction of the physical bodies of these mechanical gods, the Greek gods simply known as Mecha.

If it weren't for the fact that they themselves have been regarded as gods by humans and even given the concept of similarity, their existence would have been completely erased.

It is precisely because humans believe in them as gods that, although they have lost their mechanical bodies, they have truly become conceptual gods possessing some of the powers in mythology. They have reached the same height as the main gods in other myths.

However, this also brings other troubles, that is, they have less and less contact with humans, which is different from the state where they could easily contact with humans.

After all, the existence of conceptual gods is still a bit troublesome. They cannot come out and wander around the human world so often. Even in the Age of Gods, this limitation exists. At most, it is not as obvious as it was later.

Because he had a general knowledge of this period of history, Morpheus could be sure that the gods in Greece today were all conceptual gods, and that mechas did not exist.

Soon, under the guidance of Medea, the priestess of Hecate, Morpheus came to a huge temple that was ancient yet exquisite.

Even though he had just approached, Morpheus could feel a force surrounding the temple, a powerful magic, or ether.

There was something else mixed in with this power, a characteristic, a quality that could make magic more powerful. Morpheus could probably guess what it was.

"It seems this is what's called divinity. It's a special, conceptual existence that can bless something, whether it's a person or magic power."

Morpheus thought secretly and walked into the temple.

Inside the temple, there is a huge statue. The statue is not a single human body, but the figures of three women.

The three women stood back to back, looking in three directions, with six arms raised. In the arms of the woman in the front, there were two torches.

As for the others, they are a dog, a key, a dagger, and a strange roulette wheel.

This is Hecate, the goddess of magic, queen of ghosts, and goddess of the underworld.

It is said that she possesses extremely powerful strength. Even Zeus, the king of gods, would be in awe of Hecate's power.

And now, Morpheus faced the statue of this legendary and extremely powerful goddess.

"Please be respectful, Morpheus." Medea reminded Morpheus again in a low voice, and Morpheus took out a dagger and cut his wrist directly.

Because the protection was not activated, the skin was cut by the dagger, the blood vessels burst, and blood gushed out of the wound and dripped in front of the statue.

Medea widened her eyes. She didn't expect the other party to suddenly do such a thing.

This is one of the many ways to summon the goddess Hecate. Although it is a blood sacrifice, livestock are usually used. However, it was unexpected that the other party actually cut open his own hand and used his own blood to summon, and it was in the temple of the goddess Hecate!

"Morpheus!"

She shouted, trying to stop the other party, but at this moment the temperature around her suddenly dropped.

Medea immediately shut her mouth because she knew it was too late!

It was a wind that carried the breath of death, and with it a strong smell of burning!

Behind them came the sound of a dog barking and light footsteps.

Medea didn't dare to look back. She looked at Morpheus, wanting to remind him not to look back, but she found that Morpheus seemed very calm. He just stood there naturally, his wound had healed, and he had no intention of turning around to look.

It's as if the other party already understands what will happen and what their actions will lead to.

"You may turn around now, mortal."

The voice behind him was as gentle as the night wind. After getting the permission from his master, Morpheus slowly turned around, placed his right hand on his chest, and saluted the woman in front of him.

"Nice to meet you, dear goddess Hecate."

The woman standing in front of Morpheus did not have three heads and six arms like a statue. She was just a woman with black hair and black clothes, as dark as the night. She was standing there, but she was surrounded by a layer of fog, making it impossible to see her clearly.

"Teacher..." Medea called softly.

She was a priestess of Hecate, who was also her teacher, teaching her about magic.

"Please go out first, Medea. I have something to say to this guest."

Hecate's gentle voice did not allow for any refusal. Medea hesitated for a moment, glanced at Morpheus, and saw that Morpheus was just smiling. Seeing that her teacher was not angry, she breathed a sigh of relief and walked out immediately.

After Medea left, Morpheus asked, "I wonder what it is that you need to hide from your students."

"Some things are not suitable for her to know." Hecate smiled. She looked carefully at the man in front of her. He was young and handsome, and of course the most important thing was the mysterious spell that shrouded him.

She had never seen this kind of magic before, and even though she had already obtained the concept of the God of Magic, she found it difficult to understand how these magics were implemented, but this did not prevent her from seeing the power of this magic.

"Interesting magic, it reminds me of the past, the distant past, when I was still in the sky."

"You mean outer space, Lady Hecate? I mean outside the atmosphere of this planet, or even in orbit beyond it."

Hecate looked at the man who said this, her smile still persisting: "You really do know a lot, and that's right, after all, you are also an outsider."

When Hecate said this, her eyes seemed to see through Morpheus and all his secrets.

"Even outsiders from farther away than the universe, travelers from another time and space, am I right, humans?"

Hecate herself became confused when she said this, and then added: "I can't see any difference between you and the humans on this planet. You are even exactly the same, so I will call you a human for now."

"I think you can call me Morpheus, ma'am."

The other party did not think about this proposal for too long. Hecate naturally called Morpheus's name: "Then Morpheus, can you tell me the purpose of your coming here?"

Morpheus didn't answer. He just asked, "If I tell it now, will it have any impact in the future?"

"Destiny is uncertain, even for God. It is because of the uncertainty of fate itself that the world can continue to operate normally and steadily.

"And for you, you may have traveled through time, but for me, you didn't travel through time, you traveled through the world."

Hecate said this, but did not continue asking. The previous answer had already given her the answer.

Talking to smart people is always pleasant and does not require too much explanation. Morpheus was very satisfied with the other party's attitude. He lowered his head slightly, thanking the other party for his magnanimity and not forcing himself to continue speaking.

Then he asked the question he wanted to ask.

"Based on what you just said, ma'am, can I make such an inference? You are not a creature from Earth, but a life form from another region of the universe."

"Yes, if you consider machines to be living things."

"I believe that anything with self-awareness is considered life, so you can rest assured. Based on your performance, I recognize you as a life."

Morpheus continued, "So, as a mechanical being, you've lost your physical body, and now exist as a god on this planet. Is that correct?"

"You can understand that."

"I see. Then, one last question: How did you lose your body? Why are you forced to continue living in this state?"

The air seemed to be stagnant at this moment. Perhaps when it was a machine, it would not care about these things, but now that it has gained humanity, even a machine will understand an uncomfortable feeling, such as the feeling of "having its scars exposed."

But mechanical thinking still occupied a lot of space, so Hecate answered Morpheus' question truthfully.

An ancient legend that is not really a secret, but has hardly been passed down to the future, or rather a huge ancient event, a horrific disaster that affected the entire trajectory of human civilization.

The story is about a mechanical being that constantly roams the universe with the purpose of destroying and devouring civilizations, preying on wandering planets and almost destroying the Earth.

Morpheus held his breath. For someone who had only read some of the plot and whose head was full of thoughts like "What a stupid adaptation this is", and therefore had not paid any more attention to this part of the plot, now that someone who had experienced it had told him these things, it was the most important stage for him to catch up on the relevant history!

Because this is also related to his magic!

Chapter 8 Secrets

With Hecate's description, Morpheus finally had a better understanding of the past of this world.

In the distant past, there was a technologically advanced civilization, and it was not in the solar system, but outside the solar system. Because of the destruction of its mother planet, that civilization embarked on a journey to find a new planet suitable for life and transform it into its mother planet.

And this starting existence is called Chaos, who is the original creator god in Greek mythology.

During the long process, Chaos, as the mothership, produced a new fleet to explore more places. This fleet was the Titan Fleet and the subsequent Olympus Fleet.

These fleets are powered by Chaos's division of itself and continue their missions.

In the process, the masters of this civilization, the intelligent group that created Chaos, also destroyed themselves in the long process, and perfectly lost the opportunity to perform the classic plot of "We reconcile with humans, and we work together with humans."

At the same time, in order to send these fleets into other universes before the universe was destroyed, Chaos lost 97% of its own functions. It was because of this that the Titan fleet and the Greek fleet came to the solar system.

"Wait a minute, the universe is destroyed? The universe where Chaos is is destroyed? In that case, where is Chaos now?" Morpheus asked with some confusion.

"Yes, it was destroyed. However, Chaos itself is located in the gap between the outer universe and the inner universe, and the solar system where the earth is located is the inner universe. The combination of the two is a cosmic whole. The destruction of the universe where Chaos is located refers to this cosmic whole."

"Sorry, let me sort this out for a moment..." Morpheus rubbed his eyes, feeling that this was a bit confusing. "In other words, the solar system and the rest of the universe are essentially separate. If we use a narrow cosmological perspective, the solar system belongs to the Earth's universe, and as for the universe outside, it has no control over it?"

"That's understandable."

"So all the so-called parallel worlds should also be based on the solar system, not the entire universe?"

"That's it."

After understanding this, Morpheus widened his eyes slightly and stated a theory that he found difficult to accept:

"Suppose a meteorite flew in from outside the solar system, that is, from outer space, and then rushed into the inner solar system. Then, at that moment, because of the arrival of this meteorite, a large number of different parallel worlds would be differentiated. Each parallel world would have such a meteorite?"

"That's understandable."

All Hecate needed was a simple answer, while Morpheus had to work hard to keep his brain from burning out.

At this time, Hecate glanced at Morpheus, who seemed to be in a headache, and asked, "Do you want to continue talking about the past?"

"Sorry, I shouldn't have interrupted. Please continue."

Then Hecate continued to talk about what had happened in the past.

The fleets that descended upon Earth were revered as gods by mortals, and were given powers that mortals understood based on the functions of each ship.

For example, the interstellar material production ship is called Demeter, the goddess of earth and harvest.

Under this worship, the fleet developed human hearts and understood human thoughts, or in other words, the fleet's intelligent system began to become human.

During this process, a conflict broke out between the Titan Fleet and the Olympus Fleet. The former believed that the mission was more important, while the latter believed that protecting humanity was more important, so they started fighting. That battle allowed the warships that had originally landed on Earth to take off again.

Under the leadership of Zeus, the Olympus fleet crushed the Titan fleet, defeated the Titan fleet's flagship Kronos, and made Zeus the new flagship.

At the same time, as reflected in mythology, Zeus became the main god of the Greek gods and Kronos withdrew from the stage.

"I am one of the few members of the Titan Fleet who stood on the side of the Olympus Fleet from the beginning, so naturally I have preserved my own body." Hecate said, looking up at the sky, looking at the void beyond the earth.

"My machine has always been in that direction, in orbit. We are all similar. We no longer land our machines on the ground. When we interact with mortals, we use virtual entities created in human form. This is the me you see now.

“Then, that disaster struck.”
