People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

Red and black thunder surged.

There is no place in the world where the remaining anger of Taizu Long is not emanating.

No one can stop it, even if the ten thousand thunders are destroyed, the super-Plinian volcanic eruption, together with the many earth vein systems connected to the continental support, together completed a huge explosion that soared into the sky.

Today, it is hard to imagine how many intact places are left in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, and what disasters will happen to other states.

"Ergo!"

Flatt's voice sounded from the side.

The red young man came back to his senses, and he tried to use this unusual third hand, a sacred hand made of light. It seemed that it had no concept of energy level or speed, it just 'stretched out'.

--wave.

——The target needs to be confirmed.

“…”Is that so?

Ergo gradually became familiar with the use of the third hand.

Then, he looked at the thunders falling from the sky, countless thunders, thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands?

It collapsed, forming a vast sea of ​​thunder. Ergo's "You are the thunder that tears the universe apart" gave the thunder an infinite scale through its unlimited rampage, destroying buildings, blasting valleys, and destroying urban areas and suburbs - even though the two of them were leading Bai Ruolong to sparsely populated areas along the way, the affected area was still a shocking area.

When gods fight, mortals suffer.

Having experienced the typhoon before and now witnessing a super-scale thunderstorm, the citizens of Snowfield City are almost on the verge of collapse. The reason why the entire city has not fled in panic is nothing more than that special departments such as Faldius, who were originally responsible for supporting the Holy Grail War, have deliberately applied long-lasting spells with weak suggestive effects to the buildings, signs and decorations of Snowfield City for decades.

But this only increases the psychological pressure on citizens a little bit, which is completely a drop in the bucket for the current situation, especially the increasingly outrageous super typhoon Inanna, the complete destruction of the Los Angeles area, the California earthquake, the Yellowstone Park volcanic eruption... and other large-scale disasters or celestial phenomena.

Once the limit is exceeded, the collapse of humanity will be like an avalanche and there will be no way back.

"Target, all the thunder in this city."

Ergo took in the current situation and chose his goal in his heart.

The right hand made of light-like substance began to wave.

Incredibly, in an instant, a moment even smaller than the moment when the thunderbolts fell, the size of Ergo's 'third hand' began to expand rapidly. That hand, that great light, transcended all sizes, towered above all great thunderbolts, extending from the tiny right shoulder like a true myth, and quickly covered the entire city.

The radiating light made people subconsciously close their eyes.

Then, the huge hand directly pinched the dark thunderclouds and the red-black sea of ​​thunder in the sky.

The situation on the battlefield had undergone a decisive change at this point - wherever the finger of light touched, the thunderclouds simply dissipated, and the widespread thunder that filled the sky disappeared out of thin air.

"this......!"

At this point, Flatt had to look at this scene in surprise.

He saw from his own special magical vision, that is, the vision of the "magic circle residents" borrowed from Theia, that Ergo had hidden characteristics similar to Bai Ruolong, but now it seems that it is completely wrong——

Perhaps the two had the same origin, but the result was completely different from the power of the past Age of Gods. That smooth right hand gave people the feeling of being a product of the next era.

In terms of positioning, it seems to be just like him.

"So that's how it is." Ergo muttered something, as if he understood the wonderful use of this hand. The moment it waved, the Holy Right dispersed the thunder in the entire city. Then, as if it had run out of power, it retracted to its original shape without anyone being able to react.

In other words, this hand will not use excessive force, but will only adjust to a level that is just slightly stronger than the target?

"Fuck-"

The energy of the light ball began to become unstable.

"Hey, Ergo, that hand of yours!"

After Flatt's reminder, Ergo came to his senses and suddenly found that the hand-shaped light ball began to disintegrate and was out of his control... Oh no, Bai Ruolong has not been dealt with yet!

"AAAA——" At this moment, Bai Ruolong seemed to be hit by the power of thunder all of a sudden, and the spirit inside her body was also seriously injured and fell from the air.

"Goal, defeat Bai Ruolong."

Ergo thought to himself. Not to kill, not to tie, but to knock him down. For some reason, he believed that this hand would control the strength perfectly.

——Once again, swing.

This time, Ergo saw it more clearly. A huge hand of light passed by. Even though Bai Ruolong adjusted his direction while falling, trying to subconsciously avoid that extremely dangerous 'hand', he could not escape.

Because this 'Divine Right' can hit with just a swing, there is no need to consider speed, and the enemy can be defeated with just a swing, so there is no need for greater power.

So, the huge hand that had cut off the sky full of thunder last time did not expand so much this time, but grabbed Bai Ruolong in an instant.

——He was knocked down.

Ergo confirmed it in his heart. The moment he was touched by the hand, all of Bai Ruolong's possibilities of winning disappeared: his magic power, the activity of his spirit, and even his basic physical strength.

Fuyuki City, Association Headquarters.

Qin Xuan walked out of the president's office that day.

Ah, it's not that he stayed there all year round. It should be said that he only spent a few hours in that special room in the Cave Heaven Alien World. If it wasn't for something very important, related to the discussion with Gaia, he wouldn't necessarily spend that time monitoring the Holy Grail War.

However, it doesn't seem to take too long now. Qin Xuan estimates that it will be finished before the end of the year. But before that, he needs to find someone first.

——Tousaka Rin from the secretary's office.

"Huh?...Looking for me?"

The beautiful face raised her head and looked at Qin Xuan with raised eyebrows.

"Yes, I'm telling you in advance so that it will be easier for you to hand over the matter to others. This is a task involving very important secrets." Qin Xuan's orderly explanation gradually dispelled Toosaka Rin's dissatisfaction.

"Does it have to be me?"

"Well, and it's not a wasted trip. There are benefits."

"......" Toosaka Rin stared at him helplessly for a long time. Given their relationship, whether there was any benefit or not was just a matter of a few words. Could it be that he was doing something sneaky again and needed to send her away in advance?

"No, no, no." Qin Xuan felt that Toosaka Rin had definitely misunderstood this time. "It has to be you, and this benefit must be left to you. You should hand over the work. There is no problem with Ying. Come with me later."

Toosaka Rin was stunned for a moment, carefully observing Qin Xuan's expression, and then talked to the assistant Ying beside him. Then he handed over a pile of reports, application forms and other documents.

"boom."

The door of the room closed neither lightly nor heavily.

Before leaving, Toosaka Rin glanced at Sakura, who was still working diligently and didn't seem to have any extra eye contact with Qin Xuan.

"What secret is it? I mean, even Sakura can't know it?"

Toosaka Rin and Qin Xuan walked side by side in the aisle.

This was a rare situation in the association. Passers-by couldn't help but look over, but when they saw the mobile compound barrier set up around the two, they tactfully gave up the idea of ​​going up to greet them.

"It's not impossible, but this situation is not within Sakura's scope of handling at the moment. If you inform her, the result will be that she will worry about you and cause you more trouble."

"Oh?" Toosaka Rin changed her mind a little, "Is it about the things in America?"

"Yeah." Qin Xuan felt that having a smart partner was a hassle, and getting along with each other was not difficult at all. "The current situation is still within control, but there are a few people who want to do something shady... The master and apprentice in the Wandering Sea are using the Star Artery for experiments; a cardinal of the Holy Church is using the Holy Grail War to engage in political power grabbing; and the last one, a goddess is wasting resources to build a temple ceremony in an attempt to revive a theoretical personality, which is our target this time, oh, that is, you."

"Mine? You mean my target is the goddess?"

Toosaka Rin had heard that a god had descended during this American Holy Grail War, but the general direction of the association was to prepare for the Fifth Holy Grail War, and due to the guidance of several of their management, no one paid attention to that.

"Yes, the goddess named Ishtar. How much do you know about her?"

"Oh, it's an ancient Sumerian god, right? Ishtar, or Inanna, is written in cuneiform as 'a bundle of reeds', and the root of the word comes from the Sumerian phrase nin-an-ak, which means mistress of the sky. She is the daughter of the sky god Anu, and is doted on by all the gods. She controls love, beauty, fertility, war, Venus, and other complex powers. If we take into account multiple regional cultures such as Akkad, Semitic, Canaanite, and Roman, she can be said to be an omnipotent god who controls almost all divinity in the sky."

Qin Xuan smiled, "Yes, that's right, you also said it was almost, so do you know Ishtar's weakness and the only flaw?"

"Power of the underworld?" Toosaka Rin quickly realized that this was the breakthrough point of the mission. "In "Ishtar's Descent into the Underworld", it is pointed out that Ishtar/Inanna controls almost everything in the world, except Ereshkigal's underworld, which she cannot interfere with. So she had to go to the underworld and eventually died in the underworld. Although she was resurrected later..."

"Yes, rather than being killed by Ereshkigal in Hades, it is more accurate to say that Ishtar, the Mistress of the Sky, and Ereshkigal, the Mistress of the Underworld, are in a relationship of unity and opposition in terms of divinity. In other words, only Ereshkigal can deal with Ishtar most effectively. In this sense, if you want to have both at the same time, you have to go."

"Ah? Wait, did you forget to say something?" Even after spending so many years with him, Toosaka Rin still couldn't figure out a proper logic from this. "Although I have no intention of not going, how can it be said that I have to go?"

Qin Xuan was silent for a moment, "Because, in this world, you are the only one who has a connection with both pillars of gods. You have been stuck in the Nascent Soul stage for a long time since you broke through the Jindan stage. Only in this way can you complete the transformation of the Trinity of Heaven, Earth, and Man."

"......" Toosaka Rin still couldn't figure out how she was related to the two goddesses. But she chose to trust Qin Xuan unconditionally, which was an unquestionable decision based on their relationship. "But, thank you."

"Ha, why are you being so polite to me?" Qin Xuan laughed. He had already gone further and further on the path of earthly immortals. He couldn't have both the traditional way of cultivation and the path of a partner. This was the only way to improve her by providing her with better choices.

Chapter 441 Special Class "Player"

Toosaka Rin and Qin Xuan left their office and walked through the corridor to other floors of the association's headquarters.

During this time, Toosaka Rin noticed that the direction Qin Xuan was walking was not the "chessboard world" he had explained before, which was the location of the Holy Grail War Monitoring Room, and she couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Since it's decided that I'll go there, why don't I go to that room over there and learn about the situation of the American Holy Grail War?"

"No, no, there's still some time to go. Let's go to the lower area (11th floor) first. I have transferred a candidate to the Third Star Hall to participate in the Holy Grail War. He is related to an experiment there."

"Hey, so, is the monitoring room okay?" Toosaka Rin opened her eyes wide, looked around carefully, and then said to Qin Xuan, "I heard you say... the planet's restraining force is over there..."

Qin Xuan paused. He did mention this matter before, but it was only to Toosaka Rin. Although the existence of the inhibitory force is common knowledge among magicians, due to her special status, its detailed information should not be made public. "Well, because it involves a lot of big moves, some things need to be explained to her... You also know that the so-called existence of God is the spirit of Gaia. Instead of communicating with those difficult-to-talk gods, it is more convenient to bypass them and communicate with the big boss directly."

Toosaka Rin was slightly embarrassed. She was the first person in history to negotiate with the Suppression Force as if it was a business deal in order to organize and execute a large-scale plan. Others were either regarded as ordinary people by the Suppression Force, or stood out and became the protagonist of Destiny Child, but were actually tools, or were treated with vigilance and hostility like magicians and adventers.

"So, you're leaving her alone in there. Is that...safe?"

"You're overthinking. Gaia doesn't have the time to watch the Holy Grail War with me every day. She has already logged off. Now that Elquet has gotten his body back, he has gone out for a stroll."

Qin Xuan corrected him. Putting aside the problem in this regard, the restraining force is not a life form in the traditional sense, but a macroscopic will body. It is a complete fallacy to treat Gaia from the perspective of human thinking. "Elquet is a carrier, but only one of them, the most perfect one. If Gaia wants, she can be everywhere. Since Gaia has appeared and is willing to sit and discuss with me, this also shows an attitude. And her attitude is the attitude of the whole world."

Although it is still a little unclear, it is clear from another perspective: no matter how high the achievements of ordinary people are, they only master limited resources in the world. Those magicians are no more than this. Magicians obtain some resources from outside the world, but due to the nature of magic, they are limited to individuals. But the inhibitory force is different. The resources of the entire world are equivalent to its. Life, time, history, primate civilization...When these abstract concepts are regarded as a kind of resource, the inhibitory force is a final producer.

Just like him as an earthly immortal.

In this way, we can understand the significance of the quantum record fixed band. For a long time, the inhibitory force has been doing is to maintain and operate this world. Other action intentions that are similar to human desires are redundant and unnecessary functions for the inhibitory force.

So, why did Gaia agree to Qin Xuan’s deal?

"The answer is, other worlds." Qin Xuan and Lin walked through the floors in a familiar way. No matter how many times they came here, the Law Room on the 11th floor underground always exuded a mysterious atmosphere. "From a utilitarian perspective, the restraining force is an object with a long-term vision (omniscience), but due to the limitations of the world, it always shows a conservative tendency. However, as long as there are enough benefits, the forward-looking restraining force also has the possibility of changing the situation."

It's very simple, it's just about dividing the cake. Whether you can make the cake bigger is a question of ability. If there is a ready-made extra cake to be divided, then it is not a problem that needs to be corrected.

Toosaka Rin was thoughtful. No matter what, she was the one who needed to follow Qin Xuan's general direction the most. "...So, the Second Star Hall's continued exploration of the coordinate parameters of other world lines is for this?"

"That's enough, let's not talk about this for now," Qin Xuan waved his hand, and the two of them walked into the third star hall.

"Oh, the busy man finally came to see me?"

——Who else would speak like this except Aozaki Touko?

Toosaka Rin was present, so Qin Xuan and the others couldn't help but exchange a few words of greeting.

"Are you still busy? Are you not satisfied with the etheric body plan they submitted regarding the construction of a new type of etheric body?"

Qin Xuan asked when he saw the report that Aozaki Touko was reading.

Since obtaining the knowledge of the Age of Gods from the Library of Alexandria, Aozaki Touko seemed to have returned to her apprenticeship days after a long absence. Then, she gained further inspiration from the video recording of the soul body surgery of Wandering Heikiz, and was inclined to change her job to become a soul engineer. According to her words, "This is not a deviation from the original profession. The form of the soul is the internal shaping of puppetry. This is a kind of exploration at a higher level. Spirituality is the essence of primates, and puppets are no exception."

In other words, Aozaki Touko considered herself a puppeteer with the added skill of soul processing. As for shaping the inner qualities of puppets, if she could achieve the precision she required, it would be no different from gods creating life.

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied. This kind of business order... as long as it meets your requirements," Aozaki Touko took out an overview report, which listed various data indicators, diagrams, and the title "Plan for the Construction of a Mass Training System for Ether Bodies of Pseudo-Servants 'Players'".

Toosaka Rin took it and glanced at it. "This is... a refined spirit base re-creation construction technology, named 'upgrade'... based on the differentiated manufacturing plan of the etheric body, a career growth route is established, referring to the existing servant classes of the Holy Grail War... based on the strategy requirements of different world lines, the framework theme and main line of each 'version' are defined... huh? Wait a minute, why does this seem -"

"It's like a game, right? This is actually the characteristic of the 'player' job, a reward mechanism." Qin Xuan knew that Toosaka Rin didn't know much about games, except for playing in bed. She probably learned about it indirectly by seeing Elquet paying attention to various new online games.

"Yes, I am not doubting the reliability of the technology, but isn't it too costly to invest so many advanced achievements and resources in the etheric body and then hand it over to outsiders to explore it?"

Toosaka Rin was a little confused. She really wanted to say, compared to such a complicated process and mechanism, it would be better for Qin Xuan, Toosaka Rin, and several of the strongest people in the association to quickly sweep the place. Wouldn't this be faster, better and more economical?

"You're right. If I were a resource plunderer, it would be fine to do this," Qin Xuan nodded, but then denied it. "But I'm not. Or rather, the association is not. The association's structure cannot be limited to burning, killing and looting. I agree with you that when necessary, we need to use absolute force, but we can't use it so roughly and barbarically.

"——Our pioneering journey is not only for expansion, but also for the prosperity of human history and the promotion of the development of the multiverse. To put it bluntly, you also know that the association is planning to replace the Star Chronicles with human history. Human history is our own, and the world it governs is also our own. As for other worlds, although they are not ours now, they will also be ours in the future. In this case, we should operate it more meticulously."

Qin Xuan's words made perfect sense, and Toosaka Rin nodded from time to time as she listened.

Aozaki Touko on the side covered her mouth to hide her smile.

"What are you happy about?"

"Pfft. I see, you are thinking of handing the work over to your subordinates so that you can just sit back and enjoy the results. This is..."
