He turned on the projection device inside the ship, and then typed a few lines of text on the screen. "It is known that Pandora's Box can absorb spiritual elements, can give the Ainsworth doll a spiritual personality, and seems to be able to connect souls, can release the curse of God, can absorb spiritual veins through large-scale replacement, and release (suspected) mirror worlds... Finally, after opening, it can form a black hole and absorb matter."

"Well, in this way, the function of Pandora's Box is almost clear, and the three elements are complete. ——"

"First, the application of 'God': on a small scale, it is the replacement of spiritual personality and memory; on a large scale, it is the utilization of God."

"Secondly, the application of 'Spirit': on a small scale, it is to maintain the connection between human souls and Heroic Servant; on a large scale, it is to replace the spiritual veins."

“Finally, the application of ‘things’: the absorption and reorganization of matter.”

"Let me explain this a little more. According to the formation process of celestial bodies (Chapter 26, Elquite), and the 'black hole phenomenon' we have witnessed... although other possibilities cannot be ruled out, it should be more of an upgraded version of the so-called 'phenomenon collection', which completely decomposes and collects external objects and even elementary particles, forming a point of extremely large mass scale that collapses to the extreme. That kind of thing is the so-called celestial egg."

The three elements of human beings are spirit, soul and body; the three elements of the world are the mental world/the inner sea of ​​​​stars as the inner side, the astral world as the axis of the soul's operation, and finally the material world as the outer side.

The human body is a microcosm, and the universe is a macrocosm. The three elements are indispensable to the formation of human beings, and the birth of celestial bodies also requires the completion of the construction of the three worlds. The identity of human beings and the universe is also reflected here.

After Qin Xuan explained it, he let the three of them slowly understand and digest it. Then he asked Tanaka: "Are you aware of the existence in the box? ... I wanted to know before. Since Ainsworth is an existence that needs to be annihilated, why didn't you detect and solve them in advance?"

"...Well, actually, I can't detect it," Ms. Tanaka was also helpless. "The location connected in Pandora's Box is no longer on the planet. I can't detect the movement from 'another world'."

From outside the world?... Not surprising. The only question is why the Greek gods chose outside the world.

"Oh, so, the next step is to set off directly to the Age of Gods."

Qin Xuan walked to the place where 'Shirou Emiya's body' was placed. It was not known whether Shirou Emiya's body without a soul could be considered a corpse. In order to avoid irreversible effects in the environment of the Age of Gods, it was better to seal it first.

Dense branches stretched out out of thin air, tightly and heavily wrapping Emiya Shirou's body, forming a "cocoon" made of trees, and then he took it into the cave.

"——If you want to know the secret of Pandora's Box, apart from the opening we witnessed in modern times, the only other real opening was when it was created by the gods. This was the only chance."

Chapter 298 Meeting of the Twelve Gods of Olympus

Miyu watched worriedly as her brother was stuffed into the cocoon-like seal made of branches, but without a soul, especially since they were still time traveling, this was the way to minimize the risk.

As time goes on, the light of the stars begins to change. They are still bright, but the brightness and color are slightly different. The starlight of humans fades, and the light of other intelligent creatures gradually becomes more numerous.

Moreover, the scale of the flow of the Star Canal itself seems to be increasing, which indicates that Gaia is becoming more and more vibrant. This is also natural. The world of the Age of Gods was very active, which is exactly what the modern environment cannot match in terms of resources.

Finally, they followed the star inscription of Pandora's birth period and saw the figures of the gods.

——The legendary Mount Olympus. And the twelve gods participating in the meeting in the Great Temple.

"Wait, wait!" Illya couldn't help but ask when she saw this, "Why does the temple look like that? It looks like a normal ancient Greek style on the outside, but there are so many high-tech devices inside!?"

Chloe looked at Illya with a look of 'what's so strange about this? What's so strange about this? You've seen the research room in the pyramid (referring to Illya's mental world), so it's nothing to put a few high-tech machines in the Greek temple, right?"

"That's right - ah, no, this is different, how should I put it... it makes sense for humans to use technological equipment, but gods... they are also proficient in technology? It's unnecessary, right? Big brother, don't you think so..."

Illya said and looked at Qin Xuan.

"I don't know if you ask me." Qin Xuan had long felt that ancient technology, especially the Age of Gods technology of the Atlas Institute, was truly amazing, no matter the level of technology or the source of technology. "——Just ask Miss Tanaka, who knows everything on Earth."

"Hahaha, I know everything!" Tanaka happily accepted this comment, "In fact, the true form of the Greek gods is a group of robots and carrots!"

"Eh, robot!? No, how come Ms. Tanaka knows the word robot...?"

Tanaka showed off by pulling out a stack of comics. The top one was "Three Ones", and underneath were comics with titles like "Ultraman..." "Ha, I found this in the back room when I was bored! A combined Getter robot! I didn't know it could be like this, human comics are so interesting~"

"In the room...was it put there by big brother?"

"No, it must have been left there accidentally when the hull was being manufactured," Qin Xuan answered, but he probably guessed who it was. As builders, Ziyuan and the others would not be so careless. There was only one idler in the entire association who would wander around and drop things everywhere, and that was Elquet.

It seems that our material conditions are too good and we have no habit of cherishing them at all.

"Well... come to think of it, the Greek gods are the mechas that drifted in from outside the universe," Miss Tanaka was embarrassed to continue chatting and quickly got down to business.

"Ah, in the beginning, the Mecha Gods were actually part of the star-class flagship Chaos. Chaos' energy was almost exhausted before the various Mecha God ships were separated and sent to this universe. After that, it was a story about them making an emergency landing on a planet, which is pretty much the same as the myths you humans record... As for what happened to Chaos later, I don't know either. Uh, I can't see things outside the universe."

"Mechanika—"

Chloe frowned.

"Outside the universe...!"

Illya felt that the whole thing suddenly changed its tone, turning into an alien sci-fi story like Transformers. "This transformation is so strange, machines become gods or something? Could it be that the cold weapons used by the ancient Greeks are actually some high-tech gift from God...?"

"Yes!" Ms. Tanaka confirmed, "They are not native gods, but beings that are born with the same functions as gods, so when they use their functions, the locals regard them as the power of gods."

"That's not right... In ancient Greek mythology, the gods were very human," Miyu asked, "If it was a civilization formed by robots... wouldn't rich emotions be considered inefficient?"

"This question is actually a decision made by the Mechanic God after accepting the beliefs of the locals. In simple terms, people believe that these machines have personalities and worship them, so the entire ship agrees to stop being machines and operate as gods. The so-called 'emotions' are all imitations. Oh, you can understand it as an 'error' in their thinking... Including these humanoids you see, they are actually terminals created by the Mechanic God based on the locals. Their real bodies (ship bodies) have long been destroyed."

——What Tanaka said is true.

Just as she said, at this time, the twelve gods in the great temple all looked similar to humans. For example, the goddess of beauty Aphrodite was extremely beautiful with wings and long, fiery red hair. The goddess of the harvest Demeter was a blonde woman with a kind temperament like a mother. As for Artemis, no one would have thought that she would become a sickly, love-brained, white-haired female archer.

In addition, there are Hera, Poseidon, Athena, Ares, Apollo, Hephaestus, Hermes, Dionysus, Hestia, Hades...

And the one sitting at the head is undoubtedly the god king Zeus, holding lightning and with a solemn face.

"Silence! Silence!" said the great god Zeus. "Since the two great wars (the war with the Titan series of ships and the war with the Wandering Star King), almost all of our true bodies have been destroyed."

Zeus looked at the facilities in the Great Temple. "The Theos Kleonomea (Heritage of God) here is the last one left. We cannot guarantee when a disaster like the White Giant will come again. Everyone, it is time to work together to leave a last gift for our believers before you retire from the throne."

The disaster that Zeus was talking about was the white giant god Cephalus, which was the clone cast on the earth by the wandering star king in the Paleolithic Age. The disaster caused by the giant god destroyed all the gods on the earth until he was defeated by the first generation of holy swordsman. During this period, the real bodies of the machine gods all perished and turned into fragments flying all over the world.

In the Great Temple are all the legacies they preserved from the First and Second World Wars.

What the gods discussed was to contribute their respective divine legacies to create a device in the Great Temple that would allow humans to avoid extinction when faced with a crisis again. At the same time, they would use the Krilonomea nanomachine to create an undead doll, Pandora, that imitated human appearance.

Afterwards, Pandora's body was immersed in a container made by the gods. The only meaning of her birth was to open the device in times of human crisis.

Chapter 299 Interstellar Crossing (2k words plus more)

There were no surprises in the gods' decision. The Pandora doll and the molecular recorrection device used to avoid the end of civilization were successfully produced. However, at the end of the meeting, Zeus proposed whether to add another layer of insurance for the preservation of civilization - the need to use the Crown of Kronos to apply for a final ruling.

"What is the final judgment?" Qin Xuan asked Tanaka after seeing this.

This time, even Miss Tanaka was not sure what it was. She just knew that the Crown of Kronos was the flagship Zeus obtained when he defeated the Titan fleet for the first time. The so-called flagship was the proof that Zeus was the king of gods.

But after all, this is something foreign, and Zeus did not try to integrate the Crown of Kronos as part of His power into the local belief system, or some hidden functions were deleted in the process of integration.

"Is this application sent to Chaos?"

But Ms. Tanaka then shook her head. In her records of the Star Canal, Chaos had never responded to the requests of the Olympian gods or interfered with their operations, not in the entire pan-human history.

"It seems to be just an occasional decision of the gods," Qin Xuan watched as Zeus's decision was agreed upon by other gods, but the gods seemed to be pessimistic about whether the application could be successfully initiated.

They thought this was just a useless attempt. When the real machine god was still intact, they might be able to contact the object of final judgment. But now, they only have the terminal model, so they might just have made a transmission without response.

"Is that really the case?"

Qin Xuan thought that the Greek gods came from a world beyond Gaia's observation range, and the existence of Pandora's Box was also a place that Gaia could not observe.

This is no coincidence.

——The light and shadows continued to change. The Great Temple was activated.

The originally closed temple building, like self-assembling and disassembling parts, began to separate into various mechanical arms that moved away from each other. Then, these metal arms were connected to the cube suspended in the air - Pandora's Box. Then, the nanotechnology legacy of the gods, which was later passed down as the "blessing of the gods", was transported into it.

At the same time, Zeus and other gods launched the final judgment process -

"Artifact Kronos Crown, linkage connection - requesting access to the source of the final judgment function - the source of the real model access, missing... the original mothership Chaos, connection failed -"

The miracle did not happen. God did not receive a response, perhaps the function of the final judgment had long since failed.

The main gods could not hide their disappointment.

"Even so, everyone," the words of the great god Zeus were deafening, "even so, we will not give up any possibility. My love for my people and many believers is no different from yours. We have long known that returning to the throne of heaven is the due end of the gods on earth. We have long known that the decline of the Age of Gods is an inevitable trend, and it will be followed by the era of our people - humans. In this case, we should do our best to preserve a hope for future generations."

Zeus pointed out a fact, the decline of the gods was inevitable. This was destined since the war in which they lost their true bodies. Even by the time of the third war with the giant Gigantes, the Greek gods were so weak that they had to rely on the power of humans, and finally worked together to defeat Gigantes.

The loving goddess of harvest, Demeter, spoke up: "Great God, the amount of Kleilonomea is no longer enough to sustain new...productions. What should we do...?"

"No problem. We don't need to make new devices... We only need to use the concept of the 'box' to send data to the other side of the world and connect it to the dimension in the 'box' to achieve multiple storage... At that time, the convergence of observation... will spread due to severance... It will be the solution to nothingness and infinity. The phenomena on this side and the other side of the world are connected, and they are all hope."

"——The artifact Kronos Crown has been activated again."

--------

"Wait, wait a minute——I don't understand what you're saying from the beginning!"

Illya expressed her doubts loudly. She suddenly realized that the Greek pantheon was not very friendly to her, whose academic performance was just average.

"Brother, do you know?"

Chloe couldn't understand the encrypted conversation anymore.

"If I knew, I could become a Mecha God too."

Qin Xuan didn't understand what it was talking about unless he saw the real thing, but even so he could only guarantee that he knew 'how to use it'. It would take a long time to really develop this thing.

"-Hey, what are they doing--?" Qin Xuan saw Zeus working with other gods to create a second Pandora's Box?

Second? Didn't they say the portion size was insufficient?

Is it a fake? Replica data or something? What is the use of transmitting this thing? Or can this achieve action at a distance like quantum entanglement?

Then, one can see a "hole" opening in the sky, directly above the Great Temple, and then a second "box" is sent inside.

"They opened the hole leading to the outside?" Qin Xuan was very familiar with this thing. It was the hole on the outside that was opened when the seven heroes returned to their seats at the end of the Holy Grail War. "Tanaka, is this that?!"

"No! I can't sense that place!" To everyone's surprise, Tanaka thought that this was not a hole on the outside of the planet, "It's in a farther direction——!"

"——It's outside the world!" Qin Xuan raised his voice. All the clues in his mind were connected. Pandora's Box had been interfering with the planet throughout history. Although it was carried out by Ainsworth, the fundamental basis for the interference was that the source came from outside the world. "That's our destination! Dimensional Boundary Submarine - Change of Course!"

"Big Brother... aren't you too hasty...!?"

Illya hasn't caught up with the train of thought yet. Is this decision too sudden?

"——It's not that I'm anxious, it's that the passage of the 'hole' is shrinking! The time it is open is limited!" Qin Xuan gave orders to the ship and asked all members to sit down. "Looking back on history, this is the only chance. Unless we go back the same way and face the black hole that devours the world again, is that a good ending?"

"Wait a minute!" Miss Tanaka looked at the ship's acceleration and said anxiously, "If you want to go to that place, you can't come back--"

The conversation was interrupted. Miss Tanaka suddenly disappeared from the bridge.

Because the submarine surfaced and broke away from the Star Canal, and then the moment it entered the Age of Gods World, it arrived at the gradually shrinking hole.

That place is outside the world, beyond the reach of Tanaka...Gaia's power.

There is a space-time tunnel that connects the other side of the world, like an instant connection created between two discontinuous time and space. In layman's terms... it is a wormhole.

Chapter 300: The Self-Destruction of the Original Mothership Chaos

A huge orange-yellow star is constantly burning in the void.

It is enveloped by a vast, dark and silent void, where there is no time, no concepts, and no real meaning, only itself passing by quietly.

There are countless great stars in the Milky Way, but this one has not been able to enter the space of the Milky Way's local cluster. Not only is it burning in an unknown void, but it is also because of its strange and complex shape that does not conform to this galaxy (universe) at all.

It looks like some kind of huge, imperfectly shaped polyhedron, which is unimaginably large in astronomical terms. This huge structure seems to be made of inorganic materials such as metal or hard rock, covering an entire star.

Obviously, this was by conscious design.

Between this cold polyhedron structure and the burning stars inside, there are huge star rings, some located on the equatorial plane, and some staggered at different deflections and radii. The surface is covered with millions, tens of millions... countless bowl-shaped structures, some facing the bright stars inside, with a faint orange-yellow color, and some facing different directions outside, showing a dark blue like deep space. This complex structure is obviously a system that has been maintained for countless years.

This super celestial system is unimaginable by human standards. After all, it is too huge. Even if the power of the entire earth and the results of several generations are gathered together, it cannot be completed.

Perhaps the system itself does not care about the thoughts of those lower-level civilized "ants". There are only rational operating instructions in its thinking. According to the understanding of organic creatures, it has infinite patience and can wait forever in order to complete its mission.

Assuming it is not facing the crisis of exhaustion.

[Multidimensional Transition Stargate System has been closed]

【The evaluation results have been presented...】

[The first and second generation series ships successfully arrived at the Oringin universe]

[The movable unit Krilonomea has been reduced to... 3%]

In the cold and huge outer wall with a glow, and in the star rings surrounding the energy star, countless signal pulses are coming and going.

Maybe it is some unknown radio waves, or maybe it is something else. In short, this is the "communication method" of the star system, or the programming language.

The part that emits the language may be a rock, a piece of metal, or a glittering inorganic substance. This makes no difference to the system. Krilonomia Nanotechnology can shape an infinitely changing external structure with a certain operating mode similar to the second-class perpetual motion machine.

Therefore, this celestial-level building theoretically has countless movable components. Its great technology and the great scale of the original mothership code-named Chaos are completely beyond the level 0 civilization. Even the two series of fleets that have been dispatched are only a very small part of its loss, and more than % of the components have been consumed in the exploration of unknown galaxies and stargate jumps.

This series of exploration and dispatch of the fleet is not meaningless, but is the highest order of its creator. The creator's home planet is located outside the Milky Way and has highly developed technology, but the home planet was eventually destroyed. All Chaos's action indicators are to achieve the ultimate goal of "resurrecting the home planet."

And now, the star system Chaos needs to judge the next operating indicators.

Should it believe that the fleet it sent out is sufficient to complete the creator's final instruction, "resurrection of the mother planet," and thus shut down its own functions, or should it choose to continue waiting and try to explore galaxies in other directions?
