People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

But in this desert stands a world-famous city - Las Vegas. Perhaps for mortals, it is a long journey to get here from Snowfield City, but for angels, it only takes a moment to get here.

The wings formed by solidified flames flew through the air like giant, dangerous and sharp arrows. Under the fierce sunlight, the archangel's halo shone brightly, almost bright enough to blind people's eyes.

But the archangel did not stay in the desert. In his mind, he only had the supreme mission and the underlying logic of sweeping away the source of chaos in the world.

As one of the most powerful manifestations of the Supreme God, the Archangel 'Godlike' clearly felt that more than two thousand years had passed since the last time the Lord completed the 'Compilation of Divine Principles' in this world (planet). However, even with additional means of observation and convergence (Goetia), the accumulation of a huge history did not make this device called 'Human Principles' always solid. On the contrary, a new heterogeneous principle now attempts to cover up the Lord's achievements.

From the perspective of the archangel, a new evil dragon has been born in the world. Based on several locations in the world, it constantly turns over old history. This is a chaotic world induced by humans. This is the devil who has deceived humans and once again raised the banner of rebellion against God.

'Everything must be wiped out... the world must be saved... from chaos.'

----------

Not long after the archangel flew away, a flash of golden light followed quickly.

That is the immortal-level escape technique called Somersault Cloud.

After seeing the Western "bird man" flying to the south, Sun Wukong couldn't help but follow him.

Unfortunately, he ignored someone who was always keeping a close eye on him.

"-Where do you want to run?" A big eagle flew over at an astonishing speed and actually caught up with Sun Wukong, and then transformed into a woman, Wuzhiqi.

"Ah, you ape are really annoying," Sun Wukong scratched the back of his head impatiently, "I just saw that birdman passing by and wanted to go over to join in the fun, but you blocked me here and delayed the opportunity. Now I can't watch the fun, and you are blaming me."

"What a shameless monkey," Wuzhiqi snorted coldly, "When did I ever say I would spare you? Whether I block it or not, I will follow. But you, you followed me not just to watch the fun, right?"

"Hey, believe it or not, I'm going to go over there!"

Seeing that they were not far from the city of Las Vegas, Sun Wukong drew out his golden cudgel and planned to fight all the way. Anyway, with Wuzhiqi's strength, he could fight him, but it would be difficult to stop him as he moved so quickly.

And he really didn't go there to watch the fun. Because he felt that the city seemed to have a kind of "tower" that anchored the law. It was strange, wasn't it? The golden hoop in Sun Wukong's hand also had a similar function - to be precise, it was the effect of the original Dinghai Shenzhen.

The tower in the city seemed to be split, which made Sun Wukong very curious, but the direction of the archangel happened to be that place, and he was afraid that nothing good would happen after he arrived there. However, at the critical moment, he was blocked by Wuzhiqi. How could Sun Wukong bear this?

"boom--"

A huge golden light flashed in the desert, and a divine iron with the power to reach the sky and stand on the earth rushed directly forward with an unstoppable momentum, and forcibly opened up a wide valley in the desert.

"How dare you, evil creature!"

Wuzhiqi was not paying attention for a moment and was hit and flew to the side. Sun Wukong ignored him and walked straight past him. Then Wuzhiqi, who was provoked, used his magic. Countless water vapors connected into a giant cloud palm, and hit Sun Wukong who was flying away.

"Hehe, Wuzhiqi, your skills are still far inferior to Tathagata's!"

Sun Wukong turned around and made a mocking gesture, while the cloud under his feet continued to carry him forward. Then he opened his mouth and exhaled, and a huge amount of hot air turned into flames, and he began to fight against Wuzhiqi.

So, the two immortal gods fought as they walked, and they were not much slower than the archangels who set out first.

Until one moment, they were close enough to Las Vegas, and heard a steady voice say:

"Excuse me, please stop."

A gray-haired girl in martial arts clothing stands in the desert.

----------

Earlier. Inside the city of Las Vegas.

As one of the four largest gambling cities in the world, Las Vegas is centered on the gambling industry and has gathered countless resources to build a prosperous entertainment industry. Unlike what people imagine, although Las Vegas is supported by the gambling industry, the tourism industry accounts for the majority of the industry. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of employed people in the city, the city receives tens of millions of tourists every year.

However, although it should have been so prosperous, it has now fallen into an even more chaotic situation.

Everything is a conflict between the Academy City dispatched troops and the US military.

Las Vegas also has a military base. Just 13 kilometers northeast of the central business district is the Nellis Air Force Base, which is dedicated to training military aircraft crews.

"Mayday! Mayday!"

Not long ago, the air force base was filled with smoke, and the cries for help from the remaining troops were heard on a channel that no one answered, but soon fell silent.

Because the HsB-02 supersonic stealth bomber manufactured by Academy City passed by here. In order to implement the "full rescue" of the cooperative agency, the first step taken by Academy City at the beginning of the support operation was to send a bomber formation to eliminate possible threats in the surrounding area.

After the HsB-02 flew over, Nellis Base was almost bombed into ruins. In addition, there were several straight cut marks running through the ground, as if the base buildings and the land were cut into several pieces from beginning to end by a kilometer-long knife.

This is the "crust breaker" of the HsB-02. By throwing metal sand into the vacuum formed when the aircraft speed exceeds 10000 kilometers per hour, molten metal blades and heated gases can be produced, creating a high-temperature mixture of about 8000 degrees Celsius to cut through the surface and destroy targets on the path.

The situation in the city was obviously not much better. Academy City promised not to harm civilians, and the US Army seemed to rely on this and planned to open up a battlefield here. Unfortunately, they were facing the "huge weapon" Drive Armor that could penetrate even tanks and was flexible enough to fight in street battles.

But this is not the most critical point.

In the center of the sphere of influence that Academy City forcibly opened up with force, there stands a tall tower. It was built by a company called ET Studio.

Walter, the head of the American branch, was quietly writing a new script in his office.

A script about Ninglu, the world's first hero and ruler of the world, who joins hands with the people to build the Tower of Babel.

Chapter 418 The Terminator of Myths

"We will use the power of science to completely sweep away "all the mysterious darkness" because we are the terminators of myths; we will use the grace of science to eliminate the imperfections in the world, not to create gods, but to make people transcend gods; we will use scientific ideas to shape the core of civilization, because we are our own creators."

—— Academy City Strategic Publicity Office

According to the Bible, Nimrod was a descendant of Noah. After the Great Flood, Ham, son of Noah, gave birth to Cush, whose son was Nimrod. He led the people to migrate from Kush to the Mesopotamian Basin and built the Tower of Babel. He is also considered to be the ancestor king of Uruk, the first king of Uruk, and one of the three heroes, Enmerkar (not the real ancestor king of Sumer. Before the more distant Great Flood, Alulim was the ancestor king of Eridu and the first king of the Mesopotamian Basin).

Nimrod was a brave hunter (in the older version of "Idara", he was a hunter "against Jehovah"), the legendary ruler of the world and the greatest hero in the world.

At that time (the Age of Gods), there was a common language among all things, and even lower animals had the possibility of communicating with them. What the hunter Nimrod hunted was a language of unlimited communication. The Tower of Babel was not only to spread the greatness of mankind, but also to give all mankind the unlimited authority at the language level.

If everyone could communicate without any obstacles like this, language differences would no longer exist. Without the need for symbols and words, the only thing that mattered was the practical significance of the communication.

In other words, the contradictions based on human expression disappear. Humans can truly unite as one, they are not unfamiliar with each other at all, and the development and progress of civilization is unstoppable.

Then, Genesis records: God came down to the world to see the city and the tower that the people had built. The Lord said, "Behold, they have become one people, with one language. Now that they have begun to do this, nothing will be impossible for them. Let us go down and confuse their language so that they will not understand each other's speech."

Yes, God was angry and afraid, so he deprived humans of the right to have a unified language.

The Tower of Babel collapsed.

"call."

Walter stopped writing here and began to sort out the chaotic thoughts in his mind. At the same time, he opened a video player, which showed the recent news reports in Las Vegas.

"——Are you really not worried? About them?"

Fu Hua, who was sitting in the corner of the office, suddenly spoke.

"...You mean the students?" Walter adjusted his glasses and saw that it was Fu Hua who was worried. "This place is not far from the tower. They are expected to meet at the door. You can wait there first."

The topic of their conversation was about Kiana, Mei Raiden, and Bronya. Kiana was the only one who had a spiritual connection with Sirin and was the "key" that maintained the artificial angels. She was sent here as a countermeasure against the forces of the Templar Church in America. Of course, the other two just came along.

Sirin is now a successful example of an "artificial angel" and a real carrier of the AIM diffusion field. So how can she function as a combat force, especially in the vast space outside the Academy City headquarters?

That requires two elements. The first is the channel formed by the AIM diffusion field, which allows her to walk out of the imaginary number district of the Academy City headquarters. The second is a real stable container. Although a large-scale AIM diffusion field generating device constructed by a density computer has been built within ETStudio, a large amount of additional computing power is still needed to stabilize the strength and state of the artificial angel.

If this is the case, it would be better to let Kiana act as the communication interface of the real version and use her brain to perform substitute computing functions.

"Ok."

Fu Hua stood up and prepared to leave.

As they approached the door, Fu Hua caught a glimpse of Walter reading some foreign media news, [The evil Academy City has invaded our home! ] [Beware of high-tech! Academy City's advanced brain science and electronic technology are spying on and even manipulating your brain! ] [Unite! Giant companies have deprived us of our wealth and freedom! ]... How should I put it, the anti-intellectual elements and the deliberate smearing elements of various countries are already full.

This is also an inevitable thing.

When Academy City, a once unknown force, shows excessive threats and aggression, the enemy will always deal with it in various ways. Even if the military strength is far ahead, public opinion can also be used as a weapon to attack.

Even if you can't stir up internal conflicts, it's easy to create a bad impression of Academy City among the rest of the world. After all, weapons can only destroy enemies, not people's minds. Academy City is not a terrorist organization that will use knives on civilians.

Fu Hua was a little worried about this situation which was not dangerous but had some disadvantages. She then asked, "How is your new script? Can it really work?"

After flipping through various rumors such as [Academy City used violent means to recycle employees of its companies and coerced the families of employees], Walter turned off the screen and continued, "I will, and I must do it. The current Academy City... the future academy, no, the future new humans all need a culture, a cultural backbone engraved on the spiritual will."

There is a saying that goes, if you don't occupy the position of public opinion, or thought, the enemy will occupy it.

Walter's current new work project uses a story similar to the Tower of Babel to show how God governs the world, making human languages ​​unintelligible, leading to various differences and groups - well, it can be said to be a very subtle allusion to the way capital society governs the people.

The Tower of Babel is a beacon that symbolizes the unity of all mankind. Nimrod rebelled against God based on this, just as Lucifer led the rebels to rebel against Jehovah. ... And the so-called demons are nothing more than the fear and contempt of those who are high above for those who raise the banner of rebellion.

But the key point is that the current control area of ​​Academy City brings together groups of different races and beliefs. How can they unite?

The breakthrough point is science.

The power of science can completely defeat myths, abolish mystery, become a beacon of civilization, and become an anchor tower for the human world.

Gods are no longer necessary, nor will they be revived, but are merely records of the childhood of human civilization.

Chapter 419: Superpower Version of Thousand Beams Dodging Bullets

Las Vegas. Some old neighborhood.

Like many so-called modern cities, Las Vegas is divided into a bustling commercial area and an old urban area. Like the two sides of a coin. Unlike those large auditoriums or stages, the old urban area is mostly composed of smaller hotels and casinos, as well as restaurants and bars. Obviously, this business format was born and formed in consideration of the consumption levels of different groups of people.

But the current situation is clearly not suitable for leisure and consumption.

——Bang, bang, bang.

In the night, the chaotic voices of people were mixed with the sound of gunfire and bullets.

[Bronya, the temporary mission is to defeat this group of armed soldiers, rescue the Davis family, the hostage-taking employee family, and hand the attackers over to the security team, who will interrogate them for intelligence.]

"Bronya thought that these mercenaries were probably sent by the US government, since the regular army had been driven away long ago."

Bronya walked forward in the rain amidst this chaotic situation.

Bullets whizzed past her.

Every step Bronya took left more or less bullet holes in her path. She seemed to have predicted the gunman's aim, approaching and breaking through the line of fire step by step with a calmness that was almost impossible on the battlefield.

In other words, it's just like Lycoris's Thousand Beams of Bullet Dodge, but a more sophisticated version of it.

With her high-speed calculation ability, Bronya can not only calculate the enemy's attack based on factors such as wind resistance, sound, and terrain, but also calculate the trajectory of bullets and other attacks. She can also perform inverse calculations and measure specific parameters through the information received by her senses. For example -

"The enemy is equipped with an FN F2000 assault rifle with a 1.6x scope and 5.56mm NATO standard rifle bullets," Bronya walked around the center of the street surrounded by the building and obtained a lot of intelligence. In the process, she also destroyed the enemy gunman's confidence so much that he doubted his life.

"——You didn't use the grenade launcher? It seems that the armaments are not very good."

Bronya followed the wind and heard a faint mixed voice in a warehouse. "It seems that there is some confusion because of Bronya's performance. It turns out that they are some miscellaneous mercenaries."

Then she squatted down and made a detour, disappearing from the gunmen's sight in a flash. She came to the wall at the back of the building and climbed up to the ventilation hole with ease. She then sneaked in, destroyed the lighting to create chaos, and rescued the hostages in one go.

There were constant clanging sounds in the darkness, and when it calmed down, all the mercenaries fell to the ground.

The Davis family in the mission description is unconscious and tied in a corner.

“Beep.”

Bronya turned on the communicator, "Sister Mei, we've rescued everyone. How are you doing over there?"

[Hmm... OK, I'll be there soon.]

There was a constant crackling and continuous sound of electric current coming from the communicator. It was not that the communicator was malfunctioning, but that Raiden Mei was using her electrical abilities.

'Why does it feel a bit noisy?'

Bronya opened the door of the warehouse and found a dazzling flash of lightning in the distance, which was very conspicuous in the middle of the night.

From this side, it looked like an upside-down bright blue light band. The light band kept twisting and turning, winding like a knife, and slashing in different directions. It was hard to imagine whether the place struck by lightning would turn into a charred black.

Bronya was quite familiar with that thing. It was the "electromagnetic kendo" that Mei Raiden completed by using her electrical abilities combined with her own kendo. In short, it used electricity to increase the attack speed, and also used electricity to increase the attack range and flexibility. It was like a very magical swordsmanship.

"Sister Mei, please be careful about the range and strength of your attack. Your superpowers can easily hurt innocent people."

[Ah, sorry, I know. ]

Mei Raiden usually tries to limit her power as much as possible, which is closely related to her personality. However, when she is on the battlefield, various emotions such as temporary tension will affect the activation (calculation) of super powers, and it is easy to use the wrong power accidentally. If it is a situation that requires full-strength combat, perhaps the calculation will be easier.

[Huh, finally done... Well, I didn't overdo it, it's just enough to shock them.]

"Understood. Then Bronya, please contact the security guard."

But when she just pressed the button, Bronya was stunned.

Because the night suddenly disappeared, and the sky suddenly became noon.

----------

"It's dawn! Wow--" said a heartless voice.
