People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

Based on this feature and the confusion of the time points in the old people's logic, it is not just a series of developments after Typhon was summoned. The waves are surging and moving forward, and the records of time and space continue to turn over to the mythological era of Typhon - Typhon and the Olympian gods, fighting with the king of gods Zeus, Typhon and the mother of monsters Echidna gave birth to many famous monsters, and so on.

The cause and effect are linked together, making the waves seem to penetrate everywhere, constantly reading information from time and space itself, like an endlessly reversed image. The "liquid" in the chess piece rises accordingly.

Typhon could no longer see this scene.

In the "Caster" chess piece, Typhon's consciousness is gradually lost. While its data is gradually becoming complete, the system function modules are being forced to shut down one by one, and then all thinking and execution agencies are forcibly disrupted and separated, and it is powered off.

[That kind of operation on the orderliness of space and time... is it using the fifth method? ]

Just when Qin Xuan completed a node, Earth Princess (Gaia) who was sitting opposite him asked.

Theoretically, Gaia should know everything about this planet, but Qin Xuan is a being of the same level as her, which makes it difficult for her to see clearly how many things are developing.

"The fifth method of the end... Strictly speaking, it's not. It's just a first attempt. Although it imitates the logic of the fifth method, the internal links are still something else." Qin Xuan knew what Gaia wanted to say. The magic of this world, as a miracle from outside the world, is an existence that is strictly guarded against by the suppressive force. Moreover, the fifth method that can disrupt time and space and destroy the law of entropy increase is the best among them.

After all, the only other world line with a similar effect to the Fifth Law is Goetia’s Retrograde Canal, the Genesis Light Year.

But this time the human timing itself is messed up. With this foundation, Qin Xuan can imitate the activation logic of the Fifth Law and converge the timeline for the cause and effect involved in the Holy Grail War. Rather than actively disrupting it, it is more like uninterrupted archiving (save & load), which converges all possible developments through nodes one by one.

This adjustment method is just like BB adjusting the timeline of the spirit world, which is to change the timeline within the game program to adjust the progress of the world. However, simply using the fifth method is much more troublesome, and requires a "price" or the "liability" of destroying entropy increase (for example, Qingzi's unethical method is to blame the universe, which will shorten the life of the universe and bring forward the heat death in a few years).

The two are also completely different in nature. The former is the behavior in a closed system, and the latter is the behavior in an open system.

"Compared to this, you seem to have taken the initiative?"

Qin Xuan handled these matters in front of Gaia as if no one was around. These were all within the agreed scope and there was nothing to hide. However, Gaia had been paying close attention to Ishtar's group from the beginning.

[What happened in Yellowstone Park... was too much] Gaia frowned. She originally didn't want to get involved in this, but Typhon used the chess pieces he had arranged to do unnecessary things. For example, the eruption, scale and power of the volcano group were much higher than simple natural phenomena.

It is not only a blow to human civilization, but also destroys the magma movement and geomagnetic circulation of the Earth's lithosphere.

[The Sumerian pillar spirit (Ishtar) seems to be building an even more ancient model with the temple. I just gave it a little push. If it succeeds, it can easily eliminate this kind of disaster, which is also a good thing.]

"Just one good thing? No, for you, it's probably a pair of good things!"

Qin Xuan smiled. Gaia would never help Ishtar for no reason, unless what Ishtar did was exactly what Gaia wanted to accomplish.

He reached out and flipped the chessboard, causing the water surface to ripple, and the human world inside also changed angle (camera), showing a scene of an underground space on the outskirts of Xueyuan City.

----------

Underground of Xueyuan City.

Faldius never dreamed that he would actually participate in a grand ceremony to revive the existence of the ancient times.

According to Feliya, or Ishtar, this resurrection ceremony was held for herself. It was not simply to revive the goddess' true body, but to take advantage of the chaos of the times and use the ancient summoning system to further upgrade the Great Mystery of Death and Reincarnation installed in the Holy Grail (by Dr. Hatreth), so that it could use myths to realize the revival of an even more ancient godhead.

It sounds confusing. In short, Dr. Hatteras's technology is to expand and upgrade the container of the heroic spirit (spiritual base re-emergence) to achieve the conditions for the advent of the gods, and Filia is to transform the advent system (re-emergence) with a certain limit into a system that can also upgrade the gods to more ancient gods. As for what ancient gods they are, Filia did not explain. For the goddess to go through so much trouble, it must be a very ancient existence.

Ah, but the further we go back to the beginning of the planet's creation, the more insignificant we become.

Faldius was wearing a dark priest robe, which was not much different from his original magician robe. He walked in the long corridor of the underground cave, which was a long passage dug from the underground space of the Cozman Special Correction Center in the northwest of the outskirts of Snowfield City to the underground cave of Snowfield City, which was the location of the (pseudo) Great Holy Grail system.

On both sides of the corridor, dim candlelight flickered in the shadows. Although there was nothing around, Faldius could clearly feel the wailing of wronged souls.

He knew nothing about the true situation of the Age of Gods, and he also lacked knowledge of ritual techniques of that scale, so he had to do whatever Filia needed. For example, if a large amount of magic materials were needed, this would be the easiest to do, as long as they were not the rarest, they could be collected with the help of the organization. Another example was that if a group of magicians were needed as labor for the ritual, that would naturally be no problem, as he could arrange his own men to be more than enough. Finally, a large number of living sacrifices were needed.

"Alas..." Faldius was hesitant not because of his "conscience", but because the disappearance of such a large number of people would lead to social unrest. According to the goddess's request, the number of sacrifices required was 24,976.

And all of these need to be gathered in a short period of time.

He needed more connections and organizational strength, so he had to cooperate with the Squartio family, a gangster force called "Faceless Thugs". The first condition was to get the Squartio family's men to join in, and the second condition was to release Bazdilote Cotilio who was imprisoned in the prison area of ​​the Cozman Special Correctional Center.

This person is a key family cadre among the Faceless thugs. Originally, Faldius was planning to use this handle to deal with them for a while, but unfortunately, the death of the Goddess forced him to do so.

"Drip drip."

Faldius received a message from his subordinates, which said that the goddess was urging the delivery of a new batch of sacrifices. But there was excitement in the tone of his subordinates.

It is estimated that the goddess has given away the high-value treasures in the treasury. Perhaps because she believes that the king's treasures are stolen, Filia does not seem to be very conservative. Moreover, as the goddess of beauty, she can attach the concept of "beauty" to jade. I am afraid that any stone can be made priceless by her.

"——Got it. I'll urge the people in the field department to speed up the process, and you will be responsible for 'appeasing' the goddess. By the way, how is Berserker?"

"Uh, sir, it... is working tirelessly to build the temple."

There was a large underground cavity at this time.

It seemed to be even larger than before, thanks to Humbaba's powerful excavation and construction capabilities. In order to complete a larger temple to carry the coming of the ancient godhead, Humbaba's huge machine body demonstrated excellent construction capabilities.

Around the temple, there are many metal frames for human sacrifices, which look like coffins made of gems and metals. Although they look a bit sci-fi, they are the "soul energy generators" needed in sacrificial places.

Generally speaking, when modern magicians use human body materials, they use their life force to refine magical energy (for example, Atram, the Master of Medea in the Fifth War, used human children as "fresh materials" to refine magic power, and used the latest scientific equipment to improve efficiency).

However, this practice was criticized by Filia as worthless.

Then, Filia gave the design of a frame that was created through the power of God and could extract unlimited energy from the human soul.

The implication of this almost makes the magicians doubt whether they are dreaming. Soul, infinite energy = the third method of perpetual motion machine!

If it is a god, it is not unacceptable to have this technology close to the third law, but to have an unlimited supply of 24,976 human souls, what scale of divine ritual would be needed!

The answer that Filia gave later almost made the magicians' brains freeze.

She said: "Mortals are foolish. I am not going to revive the gods that you know of in your minds, but my mother, the Great Mother Goddess, who gave birth to the earth and all things, Çatalh?yük."

Chapter 434: The Original Mother Plan, the Beginning of the Microcosmic Universe

In the various myths and legends that have matured so far, in addition to specific gods, there is usually a source of creation, or a very abstract original concept, which serves as a symbol of the evolution of all things in the world, and the creator god often uses it to complete the initial construction of a myth system. It is the "original sacredness" and the "eternal existence". It has evolved all things and is the root of the world and the egg of the universe.

Also known as "chaos" or "infinity".

In Sumerian and Egyptian mythology, chaos took the form of a primordial ocean called "Nu"; in Norse and Oceanian mythology, it was described as a bottomless abyss; in ancient Greece, it was called Chaos; in India, it was called the Ocean of Milky Way; in Shenzhou, it was also called "Tao" or "Taiyi".

The chaos and primordial sacredness are specifically symbolized by the Great Mother Goddess.

As we all know, the humans of the Age of Gods personified Gaia's tentacles (various natural concepts) according to their belief culture, and expressed them as various gods. The formation of their specific images and the content of their divinity must have been influenced by human belief. For example, in later generations, there were many mythological evolutions in which local beliefs in gods were belittled and dwarfed by Christianity. When human civilization was young, it was also the dawn of the Age of Gods, and there was also evolution within mythology.

For example, the Father God of Heaven (the one with a high status is often the sky god or male god) who is revered in patriarchal society was not the case at the beginning. In the older matriarchal society, the Earth Mother God was revered. The specific changes in beliefs also involve the evolution of human civilization, which we will not discuss for now.

But what is certain is that all earth goddesses have their source, and that is the Great Mother Goddess who existed before the birth of civilization.

The Great Mother Goddess Catalus gave rise to Tiamat, Cybele, Ishtar, Inanna, Anat, Astarte, Hera, Artemis, Aphrodite, Demeter, Athena, etc. She can be said to be the ultimate prototype of all goddesses in later generations.

From this point of view, the Great Mother is the first manifestation of the creative power of the planet.

However, Felia knew that the Great Mother Goddess had lost her faith and name 8000 years ago. During this process, the concept of the Great Mother Goddess continued to diverge, and ancient civilizations in various places gradually called her in their own way. For example, the Sumerians called the original mother goddess Tiamat.

From this perspective, Çatalhöyük is more of an unfinished spirit than a lost faith.

There are many reasons for its incompleteness. The biggest obstacle is the interference of foreign forces in the local pantheons. As far as Filia knows, for example, the most typical example is the existence of the Western Continent (Greek Mecha Gods), which is an alien civilization. They are a group of gods that joined halfway, so their origins are also completely independent. Although there are also the existence of the Mother Goddess among them, their roots are nothing more than space ships that perform supply functions. Other foreign forces include the Maia in South America, etc.

Many super civilizations (prehistoric civilizations) in later legends, such as Lemuria, Atlantis, and Mu Continent, all have certain relationships with these groups of gods.

Therefore, with the intervention of various external forces, Gaia's plan to create a Great Mother Goddess that symbolizes all creation and primordial power in the world failed. She intended to complete a prototype of all gods that encompassed the source of creation of all things, but several pantheons clearly had independent origins and were integrated into the local area halfway, so the abortion of the Great Mother Goddess plan became inevitable.

This is why the Catalan Mound was lost, so magicians would not understand it, and their reactions were more like their minds were stuck.

"Alas, humans are really forgetful creatures..."

In the underground temple, Filia was not surprised by the ignorant reactions of these people. "Now is not the time to explore the origin of God. You should continue to build the temple. You don't need to explore the secrets of God. Just admire the glory of God. Now... one big temple is far from enough."

In addition to the central temple prepared for Çatalhöyük, a large number of temple complexes are needed, which is why Filia did not do it herself. Temples of many mother goddesses such as Tiamat, Cybele, Inanna, Anat, etc. need to be built. More living souls are also needed to refine energy.

"Ok?"

After issuing orders to each team, Filia suddenly felt a slight vibration. It was a vibration coming from underground. The branch of the spiritual vein under the Great Temple seemed to be slightly affected, but this was almost negligible.

'Earthquake? What happened?'

Filia is determined to eliminate other god-level enemies and scientific forces, and by the way, she plans to turn this planet into her own palm garden. In addition, she also summons her own Bull of Heaven, Gugalana, but Filia has sensed that the Bull of Heaven appears in the form of a typhoon and heads for the convergence area of ​​heterogeneous laws (the control area of ​​the Academy City), and definitely not in the form of an earthquake.

So, who caused the earthquake?

----------

Las Vegas, just before the Yellowstone volcano eruption.

"...Alas, she won't be in danger."

Mei Raiden is in the ETStudio corporate park, anxiously waiting for Kiana to return.

"The core member of the project, Kiana, currently has normal vital signs. Because she is in a fierce battle, her physical values ​​are high. Do," Wu Tiao said comfortingly.

A woman wearing a high-tech helmet next to her said in an unchanged tone. Even so, she couldn't see Kiana herself, and didn't know whether she had gained more advantages than the enemy, which still made Raiden Mei feel uneasy.

"——Sister Mei."

Bronya running from a distance.

"Bronya, are the results of the investigation out?" Mei Raiden asked about the matter of rescuing the families of ET Studio employees.

Although all employees who join ETStudio, the company, that is, the Academy City branch organization, will have complete files entered, after all, not all employees are those who are involved in confidential matters, and ETStudio will not arrange a family package service that includes family supplies for everyone.

Therefore, it was inevitable that some employees were used as leverage and threatened by kidnappers secretly hired by the American government. Now, thanks to the powerful intelligence network of Academy City, these people were rescued without any mistakes.

At the same time, ETStudio also entered a state of full martial law. After the nearby US military base was destroyed, a team composed of "giant weapon" driven armor forcibly took over the security of Las Vegas and the entry and exit of people in and out of the city.

Theoretically, there shouldn't be any accidents, but...

"It's out," Bronya shook her head. "Davis and other ETStudio employees' families have all been rescued, but the investigation results are not optimistic."

"——According to the information revealed by the mercenaries and the information obtained by the kidnapped personnel, in addition to these employees' families, a large number of people were still 'transported' by a unified force. This phenomenon can be seen in various parts of the country."

Hearing this, Mei Raiden's expression turned unhappy, "Human trafficking?"

"That should be the case. We are still investigating the current information, but the scope that can be targeted is very small. After all, there are only a few people who have such power. The biggest suspect is the Squartio family, a mafia family known as the 'Faceless Thugs.' It is said that a cadre of this family has a record of hundreds of crimes, but they were all unable to be sentenced due to insufficient evidence. This family even has connections with Capitol Hill and has great political influence."

"Mafia family, wait a minute..." Meiyi's impression of America is not like this. Isn't the country where the mafia is prevalent in the south? "Is this still a normal mafia?"

"Never mind. They are a 'monopoly family' that can almost be considered an underground force in America," Bronya added. "Bronya has also conducted an investigation on her own. This force has a stable drug business channel in South America, and it is easy for them to make a fortune. They also secretly support magicians in 'the other world' and use human trade to obtain 'materials' every year. It's just that they acted much more radically this time."

Bronya, Mei and other people who came to the mission were all informed about the existence of the mysterious side. Of course, it was just like understanding a magician after browsing the encyclopedia. It can be regarded as another phenomenon different from superpowers.

The Squartio family mentioned by Bronya is the gangster family that cooperated with Faldius. Originally, the government represented by Faldius had conflicts with this kind of gangster with ulterior motives, but since the outbreak of World War III, the US military entered a comprehensive strategic contraction after only a short resistance, and the Squartio family's drug business was also hit hard by Academy City in South America.

It was fate that brought the two together under the threat of a common enemy, Academy City.

"There are more than hundreds of thousands of missing persons reports in the United States each year," Bronya continued, "but based on Bronya's judgment and the existing intelligence, I'm afraid that the 'real missing persons cases' have been solved on the same day or within a few days at most. But this number should only be nine-tenths of the number of missing persons reports in a year."

That is to say, those who have been missing for more than a year account for one tenth of the missing cases, and even so, there are still tens of thousands of people. Needless to say, the whereabouts of these people who really disappeared must have been taken away by the Squartio family gang.

"..." Mei Raiden took a deep breath. The number weighing on her mind almost made her breathless. These were not accidental deaths, but the number of people sacrificed by the malice of human beings themselves.

Bronya looked at her calmly.

"Sister Mei, those are the numbers from previous years. The numbers have been rising year by year in recent years. Now, many missing people in Las Vegas have been transported away in advance."

Mei Raiden realized something and calmed down, "Bronya, so as helpers of the US government, these gangs are also enemies of Academy City, right?"

The implication is that being transported away is a condition for the enemy to achieve a certain plan? Raiden Mei, out of her "prejudice" against magicians, immediately thought of something like human sacrifice.

"Yes."

Bronya believes that the situation on the American side is not good, so she will not do anything unnecessary, but will arrange all her actions in "useful places".

No matter what the enemy wants to do, we just have to stop them from doing it.

"Just a reminder, Mei Raiden and Commissioner Bronya, we have received a new mission from headquarters regarding the investigation of a large number of missing persons. Do, Wu Tiao reported."

Wu Tiao, who had been acting as a background board next to him, spoke.

"Huh? So fast, but..."

"Don't worry," Walter came over when Mei Raiden was wondering, "This mission is an instruction from the chairman. I will personally arrange the recovery of Kiana. You can take the mission with confidence. Also, bring this with you. The personnel who will pick you up later will find you and help you based on this."

Walter handed over a miniature device, which seemed to be a special positioning device.

----------

Japan, Academy City Headquarters.

"Are you so confident in entrusting the task to these two?"

Mebius asked Aleister.

This time, she was not at the headquarters' computer area, but at the 23rd school district, where there were relatively concentrated large satellite base stations and observatories, which could quickly obtain a lot of outer space data.

"Don't worry, they are rather 'special' and not as simple as you think on the surface," Aleister's words echoed in the empty room.

"——Besides, didn't I send a response team? The world bubble experiment is almost complete."

“…It’s incredible.”

Mobius gave a rare high evaluation. She was in charge of the entire process of Yulandel's world bubble experiment, but it is still difficult to determine how special this person is. Even the "world" itself has a strong fit.
