People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

"When Seraphim was first translated into Greek, it was drakones, which is the ancient word for dragon. Therefore, angels and dragons originally have many similarities, and it is possible that angels and dragon veins are connected from a magical perspective."

Chapter 368 A chaotic world, Wuzhiqi escapes

"Oh, the strongest angel's original form is actually a dragon!?"

Flatt whistled.

"Considering that he led one-third of the angels in a rebellion and nearly overthrew Jehovah, it's not wrong to describe him as the strongest angel, but that's not the point," Weber stared at the gradually rotating star map, the overflowing light illuminating his pensive face.

"Since we have mentioned the evolution from dragons to angels, we have to mention the evolution from primitive polytheism to monotheism. The winged giant snake god just mentioned is undoubtedly the great god of polytheism, and when we talk about angels, they are spirits belonging to the gods."

——Degrading and belittling pagan gods is undoubtedly the specialty of Christianity.

"This is a religious act of Christianity, but we have to look at it from the perspective of the history of magic. From a similar time period, it happened to be the time when the Age of Gods faded and the principles of man were established. In other words, the act of incorporating many pagan gods into the monotheistic system is meaningful in itself, and to be more precise, it can be used by magic... In my opinion, it is this process that allows the era to change from gods to humans and realize the transformation of the principles of gods to the principles of humans. Do you know the answer to the nature of this behavior?"

Flat, Sfin and Mary pricked up their ears; it looked like the professor was about to start his usual lecture.

"——Reconstruction of the myth." Waver said with great confidence.

"This behavior is to dismantle the local polytheism, reconstruct the mythology centered on Christianity, and turn the reconstruction of the mythology into a ritual intact - this is what we call the construction of the magic base - for magic, the mythology is the base itself."

"You should know this clearly, right? Unlike complete magic systems such as Kabbalah and Rune Magic, this is a technique that is closely related to modern human principles and is based on the gods. The result is that the church has the world's largest foundation based on the teachings of God. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is God's great work."

Perhaps, it was originally a means exercised by that god. Waver thought of the legend about King Solomon.

From the end of the Age of Gods to the establishment of human principles, the old history has passed and the new history has begun. This transcendent form of great magic is like a cauldron, a furnace, cooking and baking time, eras, gods, and everything, making them one and the same, indistinguishable, and completely becoming a base material, and then constantly piling up the history of mankind on top of it.

"So, could this change also be a sign?" Sifen asked, "Although I don't know what kind of era it is, from the performance, the distance between the inner seas of the stars has been shortened."

"No, I think it's the opposite," Weber denied immediately. As he said before, simply shaking the inner sea of ​​a star is equivalent to shaking the planet itself, and the outer side cannot be safe and sound. "It's not that the phase of the inner sea of ​​the star has been pulled over, but that our position as a human being has become closer to the inner sea."

These two are different and have different directions.

"Our world, the world of human reason, has thickness. Although you all know that the surface world is also called the fabric sewn on the surface of the earth, it is essentially a three-dimensional space. Even if you dig down, you can't reach the back world. But I'm talking about thickness, the fourth dimension of time axis of history, that is, to understand the surface fabric as an abstract two-dimensional plane with two axes, and time as the vertical axis."

Weber added a three-dimensional image next to the star map. A simple undulating plane world lit up on the horizontal plane, and then a vertical axis lit up at a higher altitude. The higher you go, the closer the time is to the modern times, and the overall horizontal plane is light in color. Going down is the direction of the Age of Gods, and the plane becomes increasingly black. The newest on top, the oldest on the bottom, layer by layer, forming a human history that extends from deep to shallow.

Then, Weber made a move - just like dropping ink into clear water to gradually make it turbid, he seemed to compare his finger to an invisible dark curtain stirring up human nature, mixing up the light-colored modern world above and the dark world of the Age of Gods below.

Black and light colors began to mix together, and the color distribution became turbid. The display, which was originally used to express time, now became ambiguous.

"This is what I imagine as the fluctuation of human principles. As I just mentioned, the establishment of human principles in our world is based on a grand ceremony made with the gods as materials. In the final analysis, the foundation of the building of human principles is still the gods. No matter how many layers are built on top, the base materials and soil are still from the ancient era of the gods."

"But through this fluctuation, the soil of the ancient times was turned up like plowing the land, causing the time expression of our era to become chaotic and close to the Age of Gods. In addition, during the Age of Gods, the planet did not separate the inner and outer worlds. The inner and outer sides were originally part of the Age of Gods world. This is what I mean. It is us humans who took the initiative to approach the inner sea of ​​the planet."

After finishing speaking, Waver sighed, "Logically speaking, this would form a serious distortion (singularity), but from the perspective of human values, it eventually returned to normal. Really, what kind of situation is it to judge this result?"

Shenzhou, Kunlun Mountain Fairyland·Jinguang Cave. Taiyi Zhenren Cave.

A girl holding a fire spear and wrapped in a chaotic sky silk flew in. The cave was filled with fairy light, and there were facilities of various colored glaze or similar crystal materials. Some places were filled with a variety of dazzling magic weapons and immortal tools. This was the Taoist temple where the immortal of the Chan Sect, the well-known immortal core technology refining master, and Taiyi Zhenren was.

But Taiyi Zhenren wore a lotus crown, with long thin eyebrows and flowing beard. After the Conferred God War, he had devoted himself to cultivation and studied refining equipment every day. When he saw his disciple coming in a hurry with an anxious look on his face, he couldn't help but wonder, "What's the hurry?"

The girl was Nezha, "Master, there was some movement in the sea just now."

Taiyi Zhenren looked at a bronze mirror beside the table. The mirror instantly reflected the turbulent sea surface, and the shadow of the Dinghai Shenzhen was faintly visible under the water. "It's just a little wind and waves, nothing to worry about."

They all sensed the shock of human nature. But he still secretly wondered, was the monkey dishonest?

"No, Master," Nezha replied again, "After the storm, the water monkey escaped in the southern part of the Huai River."

"Oh? That's strange."

This was something Taiyi Zhenren had not expected. He knew that this was referring to another monkey, Wuzhiqi. This monkey was originally the god of the Huai River. Because he repeatedly obstructed Dayu's flood control, he was eventually suppressed and sealed. This time he actually took the opportunity to escape. So this guy has been paying attention to the outside world?

Chapter 369: Kunlun Immortals’ Gathering, Reunion After Two Thousand Years

"Master, you've forgotten something again," Nezha reminded him, "Two thousand years ago, a Western magician teamed up with a water monkey to steal the coffin."

After hearing what the disciple said, Taiyi Zhenren recalled a certain fragment from his long-standing cultivation memory and what Wuzhiqi had done. "Well - it is true. Wuzhiqi was a born spirit in ancient times with great magical powers. Even the god Dayu could not do anything to him. After being subdued in Huaiyin, he was still able to freely send Yang Shen into the world... Humph, most likely he learned some Taoist magic from hanging out with that foreigner. After all, he is a Taiyi Sanshu. Eh -"

Taiyi Zhenren's eyes suddenly turned, and his sight seemed to penetrate the vast enclosed cave and saw a ray of fairy light outside Qianyuan Mountain and across the Kunlun Mountains.

It should be explained that the Kunlun Fairyland is not the Kunlun Mountains located in the outside world of Shenzhou. The end of the Age of Gods two thousand years ago not only affected the Western continent, but this change of the times also came equally to the Shenzhou continent. Unlike Christianity, which dominated the change between humans and gods in the West, the event that led to this great change in heaven and earth in Shenzhou was the Conferred God War before Christ.

From now on, the fairyland will no longer interfere with the human world. The Kunlun Mountain Fairyland is a special place that is relatively closer to the mortal world and should be called the "small fairyland" to some extent. It is located on the "back side" of Kunlun Mountain in the outside world and can connect to the celestial fairyland (the back side of the world) where most celestial beings live. Therefore, the Twelve Immortals of Kunlun are in line with the fairyland and do not interfere in the affairs of the mortal world.

The few immortals who were still active in the outside world formed an organization called the Mountain Court. Kunlun Mountain sometimes held a ceremony for all immortals, and a few of them would come occasionally. Taiyi Zhenren lived in seclusion in a cave for many years and never asked about the Mountain Court's movements in the mortal world. Even the matter of Wuzhiqi happened about two thousand years ago.

"Guiding the Immortal Light——?" Taiyi Zhenren's eyes flickered as he read the information in the photons, "Ten officials opened the court, and all the immortals arrived..."

Did Wuzhiqi’s story spread so quickly?

Even though Taiyi Zhenren paid little attention, he could sense that the actions of the Mountain Court were unusual. They summoned all the immortals again after two thousand years. Was the situation really so tense? Or was it just a coincidence, and there was actually something else going on?

Suddenly, another disciple, Jinxia Tongzi, ran in. Unlike Nezha who had been conferred the title of Marshal of the Central Altar in Heaven, he always accompanied Taiyi Zhenren in his practice and served as a Taoist servant responsible for guarding the cave outside.

"Master, there is someone outside the mountain gate who wants to see you."

"Who is it?" Taiyi Zhenren asked casually, but based on the fairy light just now, he guessed that it was most likely an outside fairy from the Mountain Court who came to invite him.

"It's a woman who calls herself Tiannv Ba."

--------

Tokyo.

The necromancer Shishi Jie was arranged by someone to "escort" him out of Academy City. After that, he changed his identity again and prepared to hand over the things he got to the Japanese government at the fastest speed. As for keeping it for himself, Shishi Jie did not intend to do so, mainly because he did not know the value of the box in his hand. If he could not use it after opening it, it would not be worthwhile to let the commission fly away.

In addition, the box also came with a research report that Shizijie found in an abandoned research institute. The report clearly had nothing to do with magic. He glanced at it and found that it was all speculative conclusions, so he didn't read it again. He was not a magician, and he didn't have any ideal pursuits in magic. He would not do anything that would cost money and energy.

At this moment, Shizijie didn't know that the black box contained something that would cause chaos in the world in the near future. But he might never have the chance to know.

It was still a secret room, and the people responsible for the handover with Shizijie were still the middle-aged official and the young man Tachibana Ryumaru.

"Not bad, not bad," the middle-aged official smiled, looking like he was in a good mood, but it was possible that he was just pretending with his expression management skills. "Mr. Lion Jie is truly an expert. He brought us the results we needed right away."

"Yes, Mr. Shishi Jie's ability to act is extraordinary," Tachibana Ryumaru nodded, his expression seemed to be the same as what Shishi Jie had seen before, "It is only natural that we can have such a harvest."

At this time, professional department personnel had come to inspect the research report and assess the value. After a brief discussion, both parties signed again. According to the requirements, Shizijie received the final cash payment paid by the Japanese government.

"Well, goodbye." At the same time, Shi Zijie left a new contact number, indicating that he could use this contact if there was any more business.

The room fell silent until Lion Robbery was far enough away. ——With a rustling sound, as if some skin was peeling off, the illusion disappeared, and the numerous figures turned into nothingness.

The middle-aged official and the young official in the room turned into a young magician and a girl in a Gothic Lolita skirt respectively.

A young man named Faldius and a girl named Prelati.

"Hey, if your illusion can reach this level—" Faldius' tone was filled with dissatisfaction, "Why don't you just deal with that necromancer?"

"Oh, are you concerned about paying the balance for the Japanese government?" Prelati smiled. She fiddled with the black box in her hand and was absolutely sure that the thing inside contained the thing that "killed" her once before.

Well, she has actually changed her body. Ever since she was being chased by a certain Red of Pain, Prelati has now prepared a backup body.

"You know, old man, that's definitely not what I meant."

“Haha, do you think that Lion Jie is some fool? If you insist on dealing with him, something horrible will crawl out of his box. Ah, I’m fine anyway, but you… be careful not to get eaten alive.”

The young man was speechless. "Forget it. Are you sure this thing will be useful in the Holy Grail War? Those people on Capitol Hill are urging us again."

"Hey, let them hurry up. They are a bunch of amateurs. They don't even know the complete Holy Grail system. They don't have the patience to enjoy the story."

----------

Somewhere on the border of Shenzhou.

A pale woman with patterned skin fell to the ground in the snow.

Her hands were gone, and there was a bright red patch above the wrists.

"Hey, it's been over 2,000 years since we last met, right?"

Suddenly, a gray man appeared in the snow in front of the woman, "——I didn't expect you to be so determined, Wuzhiqi."

"Same here, Kizz."

The woman responded, and at the same time, flesh and blood began to regenerate on her wrists, and a pair of delicate jade hands grew out, but there was a circle of white marks on her wrists, as if she had been wearing some kind of handcuffs.

Chapter 370: The City on the Hill and the Faceless Thugs

When Wuzhiqi stood up from the snow, there was no scar or blood on her face or body, at least on the surface.

The man in front of him had a beautiful grey appearance, as if his hair and clothes were a natural grey. When he saw Wuzhiqi's miserable state just now, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but it didn't seem to be mocking.

"Wuzhiqi, you did something unnecessary this time. The reaction of the Ten Officials on your side was too quick," Kitz's words revealed that this was their second cooperation since the Ghoul Project. "The original plan was just to help you escape from the seal, but it seems that you used that place to take things that did not belong to you."

As the magician of the "Gate of Preservation" in the Sea of ​​Wandering, Kiz is proficient in all kinds of techniques of the Age of Gods, even the thought magic of Shenzhou. At the moment when the shock of human nature came, Wuzhiqi realized that this was the best opportunity to escape, so he separated Yangshen and Kiz from each other to conspire for action.

Originally, with the help of this amazing wave, Kitz was confident that he could use some kind of "harmony" to hide the vibrations that would break the seal of Wuzhiqi within the vibrations of human nature.

However, Wuzhiqi used his greater familiarity with Dayu's seal to do something out of his sight, so that the Mountain Court discovered the situation at an extremely fast speed.

"Hmph, the foundation of the mortal world is in turmoil, and the world is in chaos. This is a great opportunity that has not been seen in thousands of years. I must seize it well," Wuzhiqi seemed to have his own considerations. "Heh, besides, those pedantic compatriots set all kinds of rules and restrictions for themselves, and they have to be careful when they act in the mortal world. I won't fall for that. There is no place in the world that I can't go to."

"Isn't that why you were kicked out by them?" Kitz was referring to the fact that Wuzhiqi was originally a member of the Mountain Court Immortals, but was later excluded.

Wuzhiqi was too lazy to talk more about this. "Just tell me, why did you choose this place? If there is nothing important, please go away. I can't let those people come to my house now."

Wuzhiqi's escape during the period of human fluctuations was not without cost. Dayu's blockade was still effective. She successfully escaped during the period of human fluctuations after thousands of years of research and cutting off her own hands. But even so, Wuzhiqi suffered serious internal injuries and she had to hide as soon as possible. Kiz was just a partner and could not be trusted, and he was no less dangerous than an immortal.

“Don’t be anxious,” Kitz twirled his fingers, which was a sign of casting a spell. Then amazing magic power was mobilized, which was incomparable to the extensive preparations required by modern magicians to perform great magic.

"——There's something very interesting that I want to show you."

Although Wuzhiqi was alert, he did not stop Kitz's actions. This was not an offensive technique.

Then the world began to change.

Originally, on the desolate and vast snowfield, white snowflakes were flying and accumulated quite thickly on the ground. But now, the snow disappeared instantly, as if it had never existed. At the same time, the surrounding environment was also completely rewritten.

Huge fir trees stood upright on the ground, the mountains were vast, the weather was warm, and dense and lush green was revealed all around. In front of Kiz and Wuzhiqi was a luxurious wooden house, which seemed to have been set up with a natural barrier that fit the natural environment, and was usually not easy to be discovered.

"Space transfer?" Wuzhiqi glanced around, "No, the space has not changed, it is connected. Through magic, a certain area far away is connected and covered here?"

"Let's go," Kiz made a graceful and natural gesture of invitation, then he pushed the door open and walked in, treating the barrier as if it was nothing. Wuzhiqi did the same and walked through.

——In fact, this is a place on the other side of the world far away from China, in a mountainous environment in America.

At this time, a group of men and women who were out of tune with the vast nature around them were meeting in the conference room in the center.

Their faces vaguely emerged in the darkness, some of them were wearing high-end suits and ties, and some were wearing military uniforms with medals that were not seen in ordinary society.

One of them was clearly a high-ranking general, and his face had never appeared in general ceremonies or reports.

Even so, anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that half of these people wearing modern suits and military uniforms were qualified as magicians. These people were the native magic families of America. To be more precise, they were all members or related persons of special departments in America, and they controlled a considerable share of upper-class connections, discourse power, political and military resources in this country.

But unlike the Clock Tower, some of them are not magicians or magic users, and some don't even have magic circuits.

In such a situation, it is no wonder that the Clock Tower despises him.

But even so, they are also the behind-the-scenes force of the "City on the Hill" organization that advocates the Holy Grail War in the United States, and the sponsor behind the execution of Faldius, Prelati and others. From the purchase, construction and deployment of the necessary equipment for the Holy Grail War in Snowfield City to the airship technology used by Prelati's own aerial workshop, they are all cooperating.

But compared to the identity behind the scenes, the atmosphere among these people was not very peaceful, and was even quite tense.

"The Squartio family has sent someone again."

"What's the matter? Are you going to talk about reducing the shipment volume again?"

"That was their rhetoric last time. This time, their request was that business was getting harder and harder and they needed our help."

"Oh? The Squartio family will also give in?"

"...This is an obvious threat. After all, Squartio knows we need these goods."

The Squartio family is a mafia organization called the Faceless Mob, headed by Gavarosa Squartio, who is famous for his cunning tactics. Although it is called the Mafia, strictly speaking, it is not the same as the Mafia organization that originated in Sicily.

Although Gavarosa does have a faint blood relationship with the Sicilian Mafia, he has joined forces with many peer organizations or annexed them, and continued to develop his influence in all walks of life in the United States, becoming a transnational violent group that even the "City on the Hill" dare not despise. It can be said that it is the third largest force in the United States after the Holy Church and the City on the Hill.

The reason for the rise of Gavarosa is that they have been absorbing various magicians at all costs.
