People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

But now, there was silence. The lonely volcanic debris remained there, with a few wisps of green smoke coming out from time to time, but the sound of magma could not be heard at all.

All this was because of Kirshtalia's arrangement.

The planet's retrograde gifting ceremony has been initiated. With the cooperation of Katniss's divine power, Typhon's soul was successfully extracted. As long as such a ceremony is performed, it means the retrograde of the spirit - that is, the so-called retrograde summoning and exorcism.

"The star of great fortune, the guidance of the stars, the sign of a good harvest, the gods in the sky." Kirshtalia chanted the spell. In the ritual field he arranged, no, it should be the grand ritual magic performed directly in the void ether magic, that is, the space between heaven and earth can all be used as his ritual site.

The night sky fell quietly.

The earth was replaced by a mirror-like surface reflecting the light of the stars, like the surface of water. The empty stars in the sky revolved and swirled, as if they were accidentally guarding a center.

As the saying goes, if the sky doesn't turn, the earth won't move, and the stars will keep moving. Kirshtalia created a near-god realm similar to an inherent barrier with just a simple ritual. It's hard to imagine what he could have achieved if he was born in the Age of Gods.

Kirshtalia stood in the center of the place. In front of him was a scarlet mecha with a strange shape and a dragon head.

"——I never thought that such a genius could emerge in the modern world." The mecha made a buzzing sound. Obviously, this was Typhon, or it should be said that it was a pseudo-real mecha god (spirit).

"I didn't expect that Greece, the source of Western civilization, had a pantheon of alien gods," Kirshtalia also obtained some information through astrology and was somewhat surprised at the true origins of these gods. This caused his technique to go wrong and was interrupted during the return process.

"Unknown magician, your genius and wonderful ideas combined with the environment really surprised me. I'm sure even my enemy (Zeus) would be frightened by you," Typhon said, "but the distance between gods and humans is absolute."

Typhon unfolded the Mecha God armor, and abundant divine power burst out through the divine vessel, dozens of times stronger than the volcanic state.

"Yeah--"

Kirshtalia also waved her wand. "Then I will sing the praises of mankind's great deeds - the shape of the stars. The shape of the sky. The shape of God. My shape -"

The stars in the sky are shining with vast and magnificent brilliance.

Chapter 432: Typhon's defeat, doomsday, and the conclusion of karma

Kirshtalia finally understood the meaning at this moment.

The meaning of coming to this battlefield.

Gods frequently appear in the world. The existence of mortals and human civilization are nothing but tiny dust in front of them. The countless natural disasters between heaven and earth contain energy that can easily surpass the nuclear weapons made by humans. And gods are the personification of nature. How can such enemies be defeated? How should humans show their will and seek strategies?

In the beginning, people were afraid, and out of fear came faith, which established the pantheon, and the pantheon shaped the godhood. Since then, the gods have become slightly more orderly and have not ravaged the world as frequently. However, the gap between humans and gods always exists.

...Simply saying this is not enough. Humans need backbone and sufficient time to grow, just like the continuous development of science and technology, step by step, using human power to reach God's great cause, rather than being blocked by such things halfway.

"...Yes, the Age of Gods has ended. From that time on, no one can stand high above the heavens," Kirshtalia came to his own conclusion, even though he knew that the return of the Age of Gods meant that his own magical abilities had reached their peak.

But if the price of this ability improvement is that humans will once again crawl at the feet of gods? - If he made a different choice, would the result of that choice be that gods occasionally get angry and bring countless disasters to humans?

"AAAAAA————"

Typhon's body was like a huge red-flaming meteor. The breath of lava and the terrifying roar spread in all directions, and even the movement of the thick stellar ether began to stagnate.

"...Thank you." Kirshtalia recalled the little beggar who saved him under London Bridge, and the little girl Aisha who cured him in the Assam village. He also remembered his biological father who was his blood relative but repeatedly sent people to assassinate him.

"Humans, there are always various shortcomings, but gods also have blind spots in their vision... I believe that generations are constantly progressing, and history is spiraling upward. In the distance that you gods cannot see, humans can also obtain an ark that carries their ideals and sail to the starry sea that you need to look up to."

Kirshtalia slammed her cane heavily on the smooth ground reflecting the starlight. The stars in the sky were spinning at high speed and connecting with each other, forming a huge, infinitely broad star field. The rolling magic power seemed endless and inexhaustible.

"O Titan God! Now I declare the defeat of the Age of Gods. Your eyes are too old, your thoughts are too stagnant, and your methods are even more perverse. As the guardian of human reason, I will gather countless stars, many destinies, and all ideals into glory, and use this one blow to bring down the gods. Let the bell of change ring!"

The words of the spirit were steady and solemn, not loud but conveyed in all directions. The stars connected to each other became an unimaginably huge magic system, like a stellar miracle that connected the planets in series. The magic power guided from the sky, the earth, and the universe was gathered into a beam, forming an even more exaggerated super-scale bombardment than that of Typhon.

This is the magic bullet of the light of the stars, the ultimate magic of the secret of astrology passed down to the modern times by the Chaldeans, the founder of astrology, also known as planetary bombardment.

"—"

Typhon's body froze for a moment: How is this possible?! How could a human's strength reach such a level?

It also could not have imagined that, although the previous great magic was enough to surprise it, this attack comparable to that of the Lord God was still beyond its imagination.

The huge, blazing meteor appeared deep red and pale, crashing down from the boundless space.

The air was wailing, and the magic seemed to be changing and shattering. In front of the huge meteor that was as bright as the sun, the huge magma cannon used by Typhon was just a chaotic aftermath.

Everything becomes meaningless in the face of absolute mass. Typhon is not the real god, at best he is just a spirit, and even this simulated body is far from enough to match the original body. The output power is insufficient, the early prediction is wrong, and the outcome has been decided.

The annihilating blow shatters everything.

In this world that reflects the light of the stars in the universe, violent elements emit auroras and heavy magic roars, like the first driving force of creation when the world was first created, stirring the originally turbid world into pieces and then separating it with a magnificent explosion.

Typhon's divine body gradually disintegrated in the violent torrent of planetary bombardment.

“Ziziziziz… I lose.” A fragmentary voice sounded from the wreckage of Typhon, whose original outline could no longer be seen. “Human… This time, you win.”

"You are wrong. If the gods are not eliminated, how can we talk about victory? This is just a declaration." Kirshtalia shook his head. He did not have any idea of ​​winning glory when he participated in this Holy Grail War. Maybe the one from the Mineral Department (Kenneth) was similar. But he was not. Although he was young, he was already a very mature magus. He just lacked the opportunity to awaken this time.

Perhaps genius is so unreasonable that just one experience is enough to enable him to make great progress or rich rewards.

"Really... But that's not what I want to explain." Typhon's body had almost dissipated, and the remaining sound was almost imperceptible. "... In the modern world, there are descendants who have preserved my body (Bai Ruolong). Here, I will give my final blessing to him... Humans, the real catastrophe has just begun..."

"boom!"

When Typhon mentioned that its divine body still remained in the world, Kirshtalia took action to kill it.

"Pfft-"

It's too late.

Kirshtalia thought so. He had missed one point. Typhon actually had a similar divine body in the world. So, there must be something wrong with Typhon's Master. He had neglected to investigate Caster's Master information in advance. How could he summon the Taizu Dragon that was sealed in the mythological era? It really needed someone directly related to Typhon.

Even though coming here to deal with Typhon was a temporary request from Flat, leaving him no time to prepare, but a mistake is a mistake. This made Kirshtalia, who has a perfectionist personality, feel that the good mood in her heart was overshadowed.

The last remains of the aircraft dissipated with the wind, the scene of the sky and earth near the vast starry sky disappeared, and everything around returned to the normal American volcanic landscape. At this time, the originally uplifted mountain had completely collapsed.

Katniss was standing there alone, bored, and surprisingly, she didn't run around.

The moment Kirshtalia appeared, she reacted, "Hey, hey, hey, did Typhon finish it? Seeing that the spiritual base reaction disappeared, you should have finished it...right? Why do you look unhappy?"

"..." Kirshtalia shook his head. He didn't say anything. He needed to be sure before anything happened. He knocked on his cane, which contained a secret means of communication with Flat.

no respond.

Got it!

Kirshtalia became anxious, but soon calmed down. Flatt still had servants, so the situation was not that urgent. He recalled Typhon's original purpose. Although the concepts of gods and humans were different, there were always similarities - if he were Typhon, what would he want to do when the end was approaching?

"...The answer is to let others complete your unfinished business for you." Kirshtalia answered his own question. He used the standard magus's thinking to come to the conclusion that perhaps the loss of humanity of traditional magi was also inherited from the Age of Gods.

"Huh? What did you say?" Katniss frowned, very displeased with the Riddler's behavior.

"Nothing." Kirshtalia had no time to explain the cause and effect, so she could only briefly say the key points, "In short, Typhon has indeed left, but the trouble it left behind has not been solved. In the present world, Typhon still has a chess piece and a spirit that is connected to it. I guess it is his master, but we don't have to worry about that for the time being. The key is to confirm whether the magma activity continues to show abnormalities - ah, whether it seems to be further active?"

"Yes, I have."

Katniss replied nonchalantly.

"what?!"

"Just now, I flew around on my dragon. A lot of magma surged to the northeast. Don't blame me. It was you who gave the order to stay on the alert, right?"

Kirshtalia certainly didn't blame her for this development which was not anticipated at the time.

Using his greatly enhanced astrology, he looked far to the northeast - in the direction of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, and in the direction of the world-famous Yellowstone National Park.

However, it is shocking to see that the disaster scene is already rushing out, and perhaps in a short while it will bring endless despair in a form that is easily visible to mortals.

Because in Yellowstone Park, the endless magma from the super mantle plume has completely erupted on the ground visible to the naked eye, and the originally formed mountains and craters, with a diameter of tens of kilometers, were directly shattered by the extremely high heat carried by the magma.

The hot magma was burning like a flame, sweeping across the land. Dust covered the sky and the sun. The volcanoes—no, the mountains—had completely collapsed due to the heat. The huge volcanic ash rushed straight into the sky and entered the low-altitude clouds thousands of meters high. The tiny hot magma particles followed the burning flow deep into the high-altitude clouds, and along with the atmospheric flow over America, brought a continuous, hot rain of stones to other areas.

This is not a simple volcanic eruption, but a huge change in the underground plate structure and the entire rigid lithosphere. In short, a single move affects the entire body. Due to performance and expertise issues, Celestial Magic is powerless to do anything about it and can no longer stop it.

Wherever the rain of fire goes, nothing will be left and all traces of human civilization will be destroyed. This is not just talk, but a fact that will emerge if things develop in this way.

----------

Typhon's divine body was shattered. Logically, it should have been entered into the body of the Lesser Holy Grail, currently Archer Ishtar, by the mechanism of the Holy Grail system.

But it didn't.

Typhon is floating 'upwards'. Upwards to what? Is there somewhere above this broken world?

Wait, why can I feel it’s going upwards?

'strangeness......'

In a purely non-material state, unable to interfere with reality due to complete defeat, Typhon should not have such clear thinking ability. It has confirmed that the activity of the body system (soul) should have been eliminated to almost nothing by the human's ultimate move.

It acknowledged the human's strength, but it did not admit defeat. If it was in perfect condition, if it still had its original true body, it would never be wiped out like a mob.

"——You are clearly defeated head-on, but you refuse to admit that this arrogant attitude is a flaw in the system? No wonder your Titan fleet was overthrown by the Olympus fleet."

A voice said from above Gao Yuan.

"Who is it......!?"

Typhon was surprised, but it couldn't make any sound - nor could it convey any information. It seemed that it only retained the ability to think.

slam-la-

The surroundings seemed to be churning sea water, but more mysterious and unpredictable than sea water, lacking real mass and vectors - like light, simple, countless fine substances.

slam-la-

It's a hand.

Typhon finally sensed that the force floating upward was a hand holding it up.

"This is the first one."

Typhon heard a man's voice. He held it in his hand like an ant. Although he was shocked by the current situation, after leaving the "sea water", Typhon finally realized that the "below" where he was originally located was not the sea at all, but a grid-shaped structure with different blocks, which looked like... a three-dimensional water-colored chessboard composed of multiple faces?

Looking closely, the chessboard has scenes of the Rider team investigating the volcano, the Assassin team fighting Bai Ruolong, the Archangel Saber fighting with Sirin in the sky, etc. Almost everything in the world is reflected on it - no, wait, maybe this is far more than just an observation device?

The next moment, Typhon's guess was verified.

A male voice spoke to the chessboard, "Data Sand Table: Causal Convergence."

The sound of waves echoed on the water-colored chessboard, but what actually appeared surprised Typhon - it flashed on the sea surface fighting with Kirshtalia - Katniss entangled with it - Bai Ruolong summoned it - all kinds of scenes, like a video rewound.

——The rolling waves are the waves of time and space, which read and transcribe the "archived data" like turning pages of a book. The water-colored waves are the records and data of the world itself.

Typhon felt his inner self gradually becoming fuller, no, returning to its peak state, almost the same as when he was a true Mechagod. The difference was that he was still a chess piece with no power to resist.

Chapter 433: Chessboard World, Human Reason in a Jar, Great Mother Goddess Cataldochu

"Well...it worked. The effect is pretty good."

In the alien cave of the Fuyuki Association headquarters, sitting opposite Gaia, Qin Xuan turned the chess piece in his hand in a circle, and the piece inside was actually Typhon.

The chess piece was shaped like a chess piece, and a bust was carved on the top. It was actually the statue that symbolized "Caster" in the Holy Grail War.

However, the outer shell of the chess piece is not important, but the Typhon records inside are important. This is one of the nodes he has completed after his initial observation of the American Holy Grail War.

The origin of the observation had actually been set up long ago, which was the Holy Grail that Flatt brought to Xueyuan City at the beginning. Although it was explained to Flatt that it was a brand new system different from the Holy Grail in Xueyuan City, Qin Xuan did not say that the Holy Grail also had a hidden backend installed. Compared to Flatt's commission to correct the fake Holy Grail, the hidden function was the key point. As for what Flatt could come up with in the end, let's just treat it as a pleasant surprise.

In short, with the new Holy Grail system as the origin, this super-large-scale ritual has been observed since the very beginning.

The preliminary result...the emergence of the so-called foundation of human nature and the remnants of the Age of Gods was also noticed by Qin Xuan.

Taking advantage of this feature, the Archer group (Ishtar) and the Berserker group (Funbaba) joined forces... Typhon took the opportunity to attack the underground magma chamber... The Templar Church also used the holy relics in the secret angel library. No, the situation on this side is different. In short, the other few fought each other.

But in Qin Xuan's opinion, even if one tries to regain the ancient glory of the Age of Gods through the remnants of the Age of Gods and the chaos of modern old human principles, it is at best only a one-sided solution.

For Qin Xuan, the eras on earth have become chaotic and unclear. It is far from enough to locate a certain era through magic and other means. Since it is a complete record, all time points need to be recorded.

Weber once made a guess about what happened in the old human world, which can also be called the "human shock" hypothesis:

The world of human nature has depth. In the world on the surface of the earth, which appears to be a three-dimensional space, there is also a fourth-dimensional time axis of history. In this way, the surface fabric is understood as an abstract two-dimensional plane with two axes, and time is understood as the vertical axis. The closer the value (era) in the vertical axis is to the future, the newer it is, and the closer the value is to the Age of Gods, the older it is.

The conflict between the old and new human principles has made the division between the upper (modern) and lower (age of gods) unclear, the new and the old are mixed, and the laws are chaotic. However, since human principles still exist, especially the strength of the new human principles (scientific side) stabilizes the world, such development is still within the historical trend of pan-human history.

Qin Xuan also agreed with this statement. Although it was greatly simplified for teaching purposes, the explanation of the basics and uses was good. He was able to use the entire old human world as a blueprint to complete the experiment based on this condition.

The chaotic era also means that it will be more convenient to enter observations on the vertical axis, that is, at various time points.

"Snapped."

Qin Xuan placed the chess piece on one side of the table. It was vaguely visible that there was some "liquid" sloshing around inside the chess piece. Typhon probably never thought that his true self would become like that.

This is a kind of data, or intelligence, which is the form of reality after being converted. Many years ago, the ultimate weapon of the Atlas Institute (Reasoning Reaction) demonstrated the ability to "bleach" the world and then recreate it through the infinite capacity of the Philosopher's Stone.

In EARTH-KLβ (Meiyou World), Ainsworth also obtained the ability of "Great Replacement" through Pandora's Box, which can store the world as a spirit particle resource in the box through spirit particle replacement.

Gods are no exception. Although it is a terrible reality, everything can be a resource, without exception.
