People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

Therefore, when the curse came into contact with the core veins of Xueyuan City, it took root and spread, and then became a cancer that shook the world of the old human principle, and continued to grow like cancer cells. After the birth of the new human principle, the old human principle was impacted many times, and under the influence of bloodletting therapy, the old world released more survival instincts and potential.

But just like a frog being boiled in warm water, it slowly came to its end.

When the dispute between the two sides of the human order in the split world comes to an end, either both sides will perish and the world will return to the Age of Gods, or the new human order will take over the world and the world will continue to operate with human civilization as the center. This has no obvious disadvantages for Gaia.

But for Qin Xuan, this experiment has extraordinary significance.

If the full data collection of this world war is successful, it means that his new Holy Grail System (GOM) has taken the most critical step on the road to evolving into the Holy Grail Universe.

After success, the Freshman Cup system will enter the real testing and operation stage (test server), including the subsequent formal operation (server launch) stage.

If possible, Qin Xuan also plans to invite Gaia and the various groups of gods in her "Inner Sea of ​​​​Stars" to participate.

Of course, all this is still uncertain. Even if we want to talk, it depends on the outcome of the current worldwide Holy Grail War.

The following is a news program from the American West:

[Regarding the abnormal astronomical phenomena and disaster reports that occurred today, including the daylight glow phenomenon that occurred late at night, the huge sandstorm in the Nevada Desert, the river earthquake that occurred in Washington, DC, and the "Los Angeles explosion" in California on the west coast, which was caused by the collision of an unknown asteroid not long ago. The huge light and heat caused by the air explosion caused abnormal astronomical phenomena and special disasters...]

[As shown in the picture, the largest suspected piece of asteroid debris hit Los Angeles, causing tragic disasters in many administrative districts such as Santa Barbara and Anaheim. The initial explosion range is estimated to reach millions of square kilometers. The losses caused are unprecedentedly huge, and the number of casualties is countless. ]

【Since the wide-ranging earthquakes caused by the explosion are spreading, geographical experts say that plate movement may be affected, and the area where the East Pacific seismic belt is located (the west coast of the United States) will continue to be affected. In the next period of time, the western coastal areas may continue to have tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other disasters. The death toll and economic losses of the secondary disasters are still being counted...】

[Another large flying object is suspected to have fallen in the Arctic Circle. The picture above is a satellite image. According to research, it flew from the south, crossed Alaska and Russia, and fell on the glacier, creating a nearly circular gap between the north side of the Chukchi Sea and the North Pole. According to a rough estimate based on satellite monitoring data, it can be said that within just a few minutes, the sea ice of three Spanish land areas evaporated...]

[In addition, there were falling objects in the suburbs of the city. The United States and other countries issued statements that this was not caused by a human attack in order to prevent rumors from spreading and the situation from getting worse.]

[Next is the latest abnormal weather report: The super typhoon named "Inanna" is heading straight to the northeast, and has caused tornadoes in many places, causing serious disasters. Typhoon Inanna has slowed down in the past few hours, but its power is growing rapidly. There are records of a large number of giant redwoods over 70 meters high being uprooted in Sequoia National Park. The typhoon may have reached the highest strength in history...]

[At present, meteorologists are still analyzing the reasons why the typhoon's size increased so rapidly in just a few minutes, and the public has different opinions, and even began to speculate that it was the impact of the debris from the previous asteroid collision and the fall of artificial satellites... The government said that these are all nonsense, and asked the public not to believe the rumors easily and wait for the official announcement——]

zizi——

Flatt pulled his finger and the picture stopped.

"Yeah, hacking is complete. Got the key information!" He stretched as if relaxing, then posed, leaving Ergo beside him confused.

In recent contacts, Ergo has gradually acquired the "common sense" of the modern world. Although he is an ancient man, Flatt also discovered that this boy, originally named Alexander IV, is a hyperthymesia genius and has completely memorized all the knowledge he has learned.

So Flatt made him his partner without hesitation, and asked him to be his assistant and record various information.

"So... did the news just now reveal the information about the Holy Grail War servants you mentioned?"

Ergo has red hair and is tall, but he treats Flatt, who is younger than him, like a respectful junior.

"Of course," Flatt shook his finger. "I've done my homework before, so I hacked into various directions through the 'city network' in advance. Those are the catalysts prepared by the Master, so I can judge a lot of things at the moment. For example, the Templar Church must have summoned angels from the biblical pantheon, and someone in the suburbs summoned a figure from Sumerian mythology—"

"The next step is to use the magic field in the air... In simple terms, it is similar to the various frequency bands of electromagnetic wave signals to determine the aura and characteristics, output the results by printing (reading and writing), and then use the satellite data obtained by hacking to verify it."

As he spoke, Flatt operated with his hands, and the invisible magic power unfolded into a complex pattern of ripples and lines. It seemed that nothing happened, but Ergo knew that Flatt was transmitting the results to his teacher far away through a familiar called the 'Void Terminal'.

Modern familiars...are truly magical.

"By the way, Flatt, didn't you summon your Servant? I can't seem to see it."

In response to this, Flatt scratched his head and said, "Ah - actually nothing happened, Thea just didn't want to come out."

ps I'm afraid if the Holy Grail War ends, Amei will be gone

Chapter 426: The World That Reaches the Essence

According to Theogony, Theia is the daughter of Gaia and Uranus. She and Hyperion gave birth to Helios, the sun god, Selene, the moon goddess, and Eos, the dawn goddess. Therefore, she is called the mother of all gods of light. The ancient Greeks believed that the eye emits a kind of light like a lamp, and people can see things only when it shines on objects. Therefore, Theia represents vision and the light in the clear sky.

Theia Escaldes was not that god, and "Theia" was just a name given by Phraate.

Flatt was not originally so special, but when he was a child, he completed a research that was considered "impossible" by his clan... In fact, it was a ritual arranged by his ancestors and buried in the seal more than 1800 years ago. The "work" that was born after a thousand years of that ritual was Thea Escaldes.

Perhaps it was the intention of the ancestors. Escaldes, who had once been friends with the Jewel Man, did not believe that his descendants could complete their unfinished tasks like those families with the "Grand Order". So he put his research results in the seal, but did not leave a true will for inheritance. Until the tribe completely forgot the mission, until a genius like Flatt was born with a huge magic circuit, everything was ready to be completed.

From then on, Flat met the first "friend" in his life. Although he (?) could only stay in his own body, he was a unique light for Flat, who had been feared by people around him and even his parents since he was a child.

The only friend of Flatt, known as Theia, was supposed to stay inside Flatt's body forever until he died. However, due to the Holy Grail War and the special Sheba Lens as a catalyst, he was revealed as Assassin.

Magic power has been filling the space between heaven and earth, between stars and the universe since the birth of the planet until the old human world.

Magic is like air, no, like elementary particles, operating and moving regularly or irregularly between all things. But in the true sense, even the molecules and atoms of this world and even smaller components are just appearances, and can be crushed and decomposed into ether.

So, what would happen if we observed and interfered with this world from a more fundamental perspective, a completely magical perspective?

The answer, is total chaos.

This is a perspective that only the planet itself, or at least its equivalent, can provide. No matter how developed the brain of an ordinary person is, it is impossible to understand a world filled with chaos and without any rules. Because in this world, even the slightest movement of air is a subtle flow of magic, and the same is true for any simple movement. When ordinary people are in such a "horizon", even walking is extremely difficult.

But Thea Escaldes lived in such a world.

For him, the real world and the virtual world are all devices (systems) made of magic. If the system is closed, it can be analyzed with the most convenient method (formula). If the system is open, then more methods can be added to accommodate more parameters, and multiple methods can be used to complete the intervention, decomposition, change, absorption and other operations of the large system. From this perspective, the real world is nothing more than an open large system.

This is Theia's unique perspective, or, to use the terminology of the so-called Holy Grail system, an inherent skill: Dweller of the Magic Circle (A).

Theia felt the continuous disturbance in the air, although from his perspective it was a variety of magic of different natures.

First observe, then identify. Theia can read storms, sandstorms, earthquakes, volcanoes... all kinds of celestial phenomena and geological disasters, but this is only superficial.

Such information acquisition was not considered analysis for him, but just ordinary "seeing" - and then further analysis revealed that behind the traces of the riot in the southern desert were two gods with multiple properties and a human who looked ordinary but actually exuded powerful physical fluctuations, with the breath of fire and birds. (Sun Wukong, Wuzhiqi, Fu Hua)

The most conspicuous one is above the sky. The fluctuations of one are the abnormal laws of the sun, light, and extraterrestrial life forms, while the other is a similar imitation with a constant supply of heterogeneous laws behind it. In addition, there is a Taurus hidden in the center of the typhoon in the south... (Michael, Sirin, Gugalana)

The most distant one is the ocean breath on the western land... It is a pillar of ocean god. The closest one is the volcano in the same direction. It is violent, violent and powerful. It is a big dragon that is hostile to the gods. It should be the same pantheon as the ocean god. (Kennis/Poseidon, Typhon)

The dragon and the volcano were actually one and the same. Was it trapped in the volcano and then emerged with the mountain?

Perhaps it should be called "Dragon Prison"?

I see. For a dragon that has successfully manifested, this prison is no longer just a prison, but also a kind of magic field. Is that why it has the Caster class?

Based on her interest in this unique way of appearing, Theia observed for a while longer and found that the dragon was doing something to the volcano that trapped it. The crisscrossing veins connected the position. The dragon was using the veins to link various volcanic groups in the United States, especially volcanoes containing activated magma, such as Yellowstone Park. These linked volcanic groups were truly becoming part of the dragon prison, which meant that this particularly unique magic position that bound the servants was constantly improving.

"Huh? Strengthening the Dragon Prison by absorbing a large amount of active magma? Are you trying to tie yourself up in knots? No... absorbing volcanoes is also expanding the prison's [space], which is another level of striving for freedom."

However, if we continue at this pace, the real escape will eventually come. If that place called Yellowstone Park erupts...

Theia stopped observing it after reaching her conclusion.

He looked at the gray sky. This was actually Flat's shadow. Theia didn't want to show up in front of anyone other than his best friends, so he just stayed here.

The bright starlight gathered between his hands, interweaving and entwining into a complex array. This was the result of a large amount of observation and analysis he had just obtained in a short period of time. Not only about the dragon, but also about others.

Flat's so-called chaos magic is actually a blessing brought by his ability. Theia doesn't mind Flat's use of it. On the contrary, he will always help Flat silently.

"But no matter how ancient a being is, if it dares to kill my dear friend, I will destroy it along with this planet."

Chapter 427: Yellowstone Volcanoes Are About to Explode

In the real world, in a motel in Snowfield City, Flatt and Weber were having a new round of communication. Based on their judgment of the new situation, they finally allowed Ergo, a person whose location was unknown, to listen in.

"Regarding the information about the suburbs outside the city and the underground space, the so-called King's Key is undoubtedly the key to the treasure house of Humbaba in the Epic of Gilgamesh. So this group of 'Sumerian Mythology' masters and servants can probably be identified as those who appeared in the epic..."

Weber's words rang out from the other side of the void terminal, but Flatt, who had always studied hard, was stunned for a moment.

"Flat? Flat?"

Ergo, who was standing next to him, saw that Flatt was "daydreaming" and couldn't help but remind him quietly.

"What's wrong? Flatt, are you listening?"

Some noises were heard by Weber on the other side of the communication channel. As a teacher, it was easy for him to suspect something.

"Oh... sorry!" Flatt came back to his senses. He had intended to let Weber continue talking, but now it was too late. Some things had to be dealt with. "Oh no! Professor! The latest observation results may be so bad that it may not even be announced in the news!"

"...What did you say? Dragon...Typhon...I see, it's Mount Etna where Zeus sealed it!"

Weber's tone was doubtful at first, but after Flatt told him the information he had obtained from Theia, Weber's tone became more serious. One could imagine that his face had turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. "Using the crater as a reference point to expand your magic position, I see, you want to absorb the various magma reservoirs in North America - but you even want to take in the super volcano in Yellowstone Park? ... Hiss, I think I have to choose this one, after all, it is the largest volcano in the world!"

The supervolcano in Yellowstone National Park has a crater diameter of 70 kilometers. It is simply a huge meteorite crater. Under this huge crater, which is large enough to accommodate a city, is a huge magma reservoir.

What is even more terrifying is that this is not a single volcano. In addition to the crater visible to the naked eye, there is a large-scale volcano group buried under the flat land and lakes. Once the Yellowstone volcano group erupts completely, volcanic gas, volcanic ash, aerosols, black carbon and other particles will enter the atmosphere, directly covering three-quarters of the United States, and the rest of the country will be covered in a period of time.

One of the disasters that may result is that the thick carbon dioxide and the dust that covers the sky can kill nearby life in an instant. Second, the crater can form a large-scale "fire rain" by erupting hot jagged rock particles, which can easily kill people. Third, the volcanic ash enters the atmospheric circulation, and the sulfur dioxide component in it combines with rainwater to form acid rain that erodes the land. Fourth, it causes the icehouse effect. The icehouse effect under the action of sulfur dioxide may evolve into glaciers. Combined with the greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide, it may even cause the collapse of ocean currents and frequent ground disasters.

In short, Earth OL is accelerating into the "doomsday version".

"Flat, I think it's too late for me. You should contact other masters and servants immediately. No, this will expose our intelligence observation capabilities, and they may not take action on such a matter. Let's give them the Yellowstone Park earthquake survey report and ignore everything else. If they don't have a sense of crisis, they won't be able to see it, let alone come to solve it together. We should directly contact Kirshtalia, who is closest to the (volcanic position), and make sure to focus on solving the 'volcanic crisis' brought by Typhon."

"Wait a minute, professor, why are you in such a hurry?" Flatt felt that Typhon's actions had just begun and were progressing slowly, so he shouldn't be in such a hurry.

"Idiot! The volcanic earthquake belts all over the world are connected, and the magma at the bottom can also penetrate each other. Typhon needs a stable connection state to expand the magma reservoir through the ground vein connection, but have you forgotten? The 'Fire Meteor' caused a round of earthquakes not long ago... It is obvious that Typhon is so slow because it is disturbed by unexpected fluctuations, which creates the illusion that it is moving slowly. In other words, this 'window period' is the last chance to stop it!"

As we all know, Yellowstone Park is located in the seismic belt of the United States and encounters thousands of earthquakes every year. Today, due to meteor impacts, the plate movement in the eastern Pacific seismic belt is becoming more frequent. This kind of earthquake will lead to more severe fractures in the rocks and faster flow of lava. Although this disrupts Typhon's actions, as long as it slows down, this situation will instead accelerate the expansion of its positions.

What Weber didn't mention is that large-scale volcanic eruptions occur about once every 4.5 to 71 years, and that this interval has been shrinking in recent years, from 1.7 to 0.52 years. The eruption frequency of Yellowstone is more stable, remaining between 64 and 80 years.

But the key point is that its last eruption was exactly 64 years ago. Originally, it was still in a superposition state of explosion and non-explosion, but with the angels and spirit servants making trouble, Weber was almost certain that the volcanic eruption was already in a countdown state.

--------

Outside of Snowfield City. Formerly McDermitt Volcano, now Typhon Magic Field.

After receiving Flatt's communication request and situation report, Kirshtalia and Katniss rushed here at full speed.

To be precise, Katniss was a dragon rider, while Kirshtalia flew over directly using a magic similar to the shooting star light.

"Hey, are you an old man who survived from the Age of Gods?" Katniss couldn't help but be amazed at Kirshtalia's 'flying magic', "Or do modern magicians have skills that I don't know about? Anyway, I don't really understand it."

“Heh,” Kirshtalia controlled the starlight with a relaxed look on her face. “If modern magicians don’t rely on special props, they may barely be able to float. It is said that some black magic can allow witches to fly (riding a broom), but there are side effects…”

"But there are exceptions. Some people can revive a declining base by themselves, and even invented magic that allows them to travel by catapulting (Orange's Journey). I am probably an exception."

Kirshtalia looked at the direction of the starry sky, and he suddenly felt that the arrangement of the galaxies in the starry sky...could be simulated as the magic circuits of the human body?

Chapter 428: Celestial Magic Connecting the Universe

Kirshtalia occasionally recalled the time when he was studying in the Clock Tower. It was not the time when he had achieved academic success, but when he first came into contact with celestial magic, and he had some unrealistic fantasies. It might not be appropriate to call it a fantasy. At that time, he hoped to reproduce the glory of astrology in the Age of Gods through some means.

But if I say it out loud, I'm sure you'll laugh at me, right...?

Kirshtalia is not the kind of magician who enjoys humiliating himself, he prefers to take action, to prepare adequately, to complete research, to obtain results, and then to show the world that his fantasy is not out of reach.

Of course, it failed in the end.

Even a genius cannot transcend the limitations of this era when the entire world has changed. If you can't go back to the Age of Gods, everything is just wishful thinking. However, Kirshtalia's research was fully affirmed by his mentors, who believed that being able to reach this level of thinking was proof of his own excellence, and nothing else. After all, the Age of Gods was a distant past, and celestial magic had shrunk beyond recognition.

This is not Kirshtalia's fault or shortcoming, but the problem with the entire magic system, which no longer adapts to the ever-changing times.

"Let's think about the enemy at hand."

Kirshtalia interrupted his thoughts, his starlight gradually dimmed, and lifted his body to a high ground.

The red soil near the crater is hard, but also mixed with soft fine sand and dust. In addition, there are many black rock landforms... There are many similarities with the landforms around ordinary volcanoes, but there are some differences. It seems that Typhon's arrival here and its actions in secret also caused this.

Wherever you go, you will leave traces.

"Hmm... Looking closely, there is no abnormal aura of magic at all." Kirshtalia came here based on the emergency communication and information from Flat. Naturally, she was also aware of the particularity of the surrounding environment, especially the underground environment, which should be geological... The clock tower should belong to the classification of minerals. Specifically, a large area of ​​this country is located at the boundary of a certain plate structure and mantle plume.

The violent movement of the rigid lithosphere caused frequent earthquakes and volcanoes. The underground magma flow was very active. If it weren't for the previous data, even Kirshtalia couldn't detect anything wrong here. After all, magicians have long relied on conventional magic detection schemes and lack knowledge of the Taizulong that has been continuously sealed in the volcano since ancient times.

"..." After a brief investigation and a conclusion, Kirshtalia ended his action. He turned to look at the sky. Katniss, riding a giant dragon, was returning to him.

"Bang." Without waiting for her mount to fly to the ground, Katniss landed like a superhero, creating a big hole next to Kirshtalia and raising a lot of dust.

But what disappointed Katniss was that Kirshtalia was not covered with dust, so she didn't show her an embarrassed look. Katniss went to investigate and confirm the situation of the volcano where Typhon was.

"Rider, what's going on?"

"Tsk, that dragon seems a bit troublesome." Katniss pouted.

"Trouble? Do you have any additional knowledge about it?"

"No. It looks like a mountain...it seems to be called Etna? Or is it Mount McDermitt? Anyway, that thing seems to have merged with the mountain. It feels like a broken shell in disguise. I'm only talking about the unsealed Typhon - even the shit god of the sea can't deal with that thing." Although Katniss and Typhon are from the same pantheon, the gap in their levels is too big. This is not something she can deal with at all. Fortunately, she has the spirit base of Poseidon in her body, which can barely narrow the gap.

"I see. That's right. After all, according to legend, only Zeus can rival it."

In Dionysica, Typhon strikes the chariot of the sun god. The moon fights him, but is wounded. Even the four wind gods are not spared. He plunges into the sea again. The water does not even reach the giant's waist. He stirs the water, stirring up huge waves, and then he cuts through the waves and pulls Poseidon's chariot out of the water. The creatures in the sea are terrified, and even Leviathan retreats.
