People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

Click, click, click.

Countless shattering sounds were heard at the point where the two intersected.

In the aftermath of the crash, the winds that were even more violent than before were only the beginning. Countless scattered storms were transformed into fragments of disaster under the influence of the power of the starlight.

Cyclones and convections followed the aftermath in the sky in all directions, countless cumulonimbus clouds collided with each other, and thunder roared one after another.

In just about five seconds, hundreds of thousands of lightning strikes hit southern Nevada and surrounding areas, causing countless people to faint and electronic equipment to fail. Only Las Vegas was covered by the curtain of scientific laws formed by the central tower, which prevented the spread of Gugalana's divine power.

At a time when a large number of satellites have lost contact and electronic signals have been blocked on a large scale, I am afraid that ordinary people in many cities will feel despair about such doomsday weather.

And those who still have the energy to observe astronomical data——

Mobius, Velvet, and others in Academy City gradually discovered through measurements that the direction of the atmosphere, wind speed, and other data over America were almost the same as the jets and vortexes in Jupiter's atmosphere.

----------

In the northwest of Xueyuan City, a group of people are heading towards the Yellowstone Volcano.

"..."

Theia looked towards the south. The violent fluctuations in the atmosphere were actually transmitted clearly through the vibrations of the atmospheric magic mana.

"The golden cow... and..."

"Hey, dear friend, did you observe anything?"

Flat asked curiously. His ability was far inferior to Theia. To be precise, his chaos magic was a degraded version of Theia. Well, this time he relied on the servant's posture to gain extra convenience. For example, the master and the servant were originally a unified existence, forming the law of similarity, so that Flat could easily borrow Theia's magic.

"Nothing. Just go over there quickly."

Theia just watched for two seconds and didn't look back.

They were on their way to the Yellowstone volcano, planning to take this opportunity to meet up with Kirshtalia. Flat and Thea were both using the extremely fast flying magic, while Ergo and the unconscious Bai Ruolong were being dragged aside by their traction magic. In order to advance the progress as quickly as possible, they kept communicating almost all the way while verifying and perfecting the feasibility of the technology on the road.

But for now, progress is still slow. Flatt and Ergo discussed letting Kirshtalia join in. This would somewhat reduce the operational burden.

Rumbling--

In the northeast, a dazzling meteor streaked across the sky and fell to the earth.

"Huh?" Flatt wanted to wipe his eyes. "No way?"

The meteorite seemed to be burning with magic power, not pure physical mass. He almost thought he was seeing things.

"You are not mistaken, Flat," Thea said, "That is your partner - the magician named Kirshtalia. The great magic he released seems to be the ancestral astrology in the old magic system... It seems that he has started fighting with the so-called enemy of the Wandering Sea."

——A star falls in the wilderness.

Well, although this description is somewhat out of context, it was indeed Flatt's first association. The magical flaming meteor gathered thousands of starlights, and when it suddenly fell to the ground, it burst into a strong flash and a circular shock wave, and in the starry sky there was still a continuous, artificially arranged magic surging.

Kirshtalia seemed to still have some strength left. He probably did this just to avoid affecting the magma reservoir under the Yellowstone volcano, so as to avoid causing a secondary eruption and a more severe volcanic disaster.

After watching for a while, Flat still did not observe any further activation of magic power or meteorite rituals.

"Huh? It stopped just now? Let's go and take a look."

Several people flew to the designated destination with doubts.

I met Kirshtalia, the blond noble young man who I had only heard of but never seen, and next to him, a woman in armor, the god Katniss.

"Wow, this is your Servant, Woddam. He looks so powerful..."

Flatt was shouting and yelling, but was instantly glared at by Katniss's fierce eyes and stopped obediently.

Thea "floated" forward a step, protecting Flat, and confronting the master and servant who were waiting here.

The atmosphere was a little tense for a moment, with a chill brewing.

Kirshtalia was the first to break the cold and silent atmosphere. "Excuse me, everyone. I just tried to get more information about the 'Power of the Stars' experiment from the magician Kitz in the Wandering Sea, but he refused every way I tried, and finally a violent conflict broke out."

"——and what happened next is what you saw."

Looking around, one can see large tracts of charred soil and huge meteorite impact craters formed by the impact of the magic meteorite. The remaining heat and ashes are still showing their presence, but the so-called Wandering Sea Magician is nowhere to be seen.

"So, where is the man who calls himself Kizz?" asked Ergo on the side.

"I'm sorry, he disappeared in the end. He used a very strange space transfer method. I can't use astrology to find his whereabouts. Maybe it has something to do with their hiding method in the Wandering Sea."

Flatt didn't care much. He didn't feel disappointed about not being able to obtain additional information. "Oh, it's okay. In this case, let's get down to business. We are on the way. Let Ergo successfully experiment with the feasibility of stripping power!"

"..."

Kirshtalia wanted to speak, but the ball of light that "grew" from Ergo's right shoulder stopped him from speaking.

The phantom hand that gathered into five fingers and a palm gave me a sacred and strange feeling that I had never seen before.

He came back to his senses briefly and looked at Flat, Ergo and Bai Ruolong who was floating in the air by the spell. Apart from that, he had nothing in his hands. He couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"Even so, the experimental conditions are still too simple. Using the void terminal for auxiliary calculations can save a lot of magic resources, but the operation we need to do is still an unrecorded experiment, and it is an experiment to operate the power of God, so it will probably take a lot of time."

Flatt just blinked and said, "How difficult is that? My dear friend, please!"

Thea beside him didn't say much and activated her Noble Phantasm: "A Clockwork Abbadon!"

For a moment, the world stopped.

It was as if the heaven and earth had cooled down, and the movement of molecules had almost come to a standstill.

However, for those who are in the normal realm, the resource of 'time' has become extremely abundant.

Chapter 445: Disaster in the Underground Labyrinth

"Time has stopped...?"

Kirshtalia and Katniss had never experienced anything like this before.

There was a turbid feeling in the air, as if dust and powder were all stuck in midair.

After a brief moment of amazement, Kirshtalia quickly tried to invoke magic power and found that it was not affected at all.

"No, it's not necessarily that time has stopped... It could also be that we ourselves have entered a super-speed realm."

Kirshtalia took a deep look at the peculiar-looking 'Theia' and the smiling Flat beside her.

"So, let's get started!"

Flatt said in a slightly excited tone, rubbing his hands together, as if he and Thea beside him were one body. Densely packed magic waveforms appeared in his hands, like a complex program code, "——The usurpation ceremony of Taizulong's power!"

--------

"The battle begins!"

An underground space on the outskirts of Xueyuan City.

Bronya and Raiden Mei, wearing biological drive armor, followed the information from the security team and the data they searched for themselves, and came to a human transaction site of the "Faceless Thugs". That is, the underground space here.

The special drive armor they wear has the same stealth combat function as the South American combat troops, so it is very easy for them to sneak in. However, although sneaking in is easy, it is not the goal of the mission. Their first priority is to rescue the hostages who have been trafficked and destroy these large criminal gangs as much as possible. At the very least, they must eliminate the enemy while ensuring the survival of as many hostages as possible, or transmit the information back to the supporters of the Academy City.

Dim candlelight flickered on both sides of the underground passage.

The scene was like a real tomb exploration movie. Bronya, who had experience as a mercenary killer, didn't care about it, but Raiden Mei's condition was relatively worse.

She felt a little nervous.

"Bronya......"

Just as she was about to speak, she saw Bronya signaling Raiden Mei to be quiet.

[Sister Mei, to be on the safe side, let's communicate using the AIM diffusion field. ]

【Okay, okay.】

Mei Raiden looked around, the overall dark scene made her feel a little uneasy, [Are we...really going to fight those so-called magicians here? ]

[What's wrong, Mei-sister? ]

[No... I don't know what the enemy's so-called 'magic' is, and I feel unsure...]

Mei Raiden is struggling with her combat output again. Although her opponents are a group of extremely evil criminals, Mei Raiden is not someone who has rich experience in killing like Bronya. Her understanding of evil is superficial and not profound enough. It's not that she doesn't understand that these inhumane magicians are completely outside the law, but when the time comes, this will become a constraint on her further performance.

[Sister Mei...] Bronya's eyelids twitched. She felt that Raiden Mei was thinking about something unnecessary. [In an unclear situation, the only thing we have to think about is to go all out. After all, the enemy may not be the type that allows us to leave room for maneuver...]

【Hmm...That's true.】

Mei Raiden forced her brain not to think about unnecessary things and to focus on the task at hand.

Fortunately, Bronya's persuasion allowed Raiden Mei to make the right choice.

Because what the two of them didn't know was that Bronya was right, the enemy's strength was indeed far beyond the level at which they had to hold back.

[Compared to this, the complexity of these tunnels is too high. This is completely at the level of an underground maze.] Returning to the mission state, Bronya frowned as she looked at the several intersections that appeared before them.

[Indeed, if we use equipment, we can build a three-dimensional route distribution map.] After calming down, Mei Raiden was also thinking about the problem at hand. [But we don’t have time to explore the route of the entire underground maze. The right thing to do is to hurry up and find the room where the hostages are.]

Click, click, click.

Just as the two were exploring the underground passage and were having a headache because of the vast space and complicated routes, two sets of footsteps were heard.

Bronya was the first to react. After making eye contact with Raiden Mei, she made way and watched two magicians in loose magic robes passing by in stealth mode.

"Hahaha," one of them said in a slightly high voice, "Speaking of which, the goddess is really generous. Such a huge treasury can be given to us at will. It is said that it is all the treasure of the ancient hero king Gilgamesh. There are also many priceless ancient "treasures" prototypes in it. If we sell one or two of them..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Another voice was relatively calm. "Do you really think the goddess's things are so easy to get? They are materials for us to build the ritual field! Humph, anyone with a sharp eye will find that in the past few days, even if any of our colleagues have not worked hard, they have been thrown into the 'frame' by the goddess and used as human batteries. Do you dare to defect and see?"

"Eh! But I heard that those people were killed by the Servant of Master Faldius, that giant metal monster that went crazy?"

"Tsk, what's the difference? I heard that the monster also obeys the goddess's words. Will the goddess care about the life and death of a mere human? ... Stop talking nonsense. The last batch of 'goods' has been handed over. We have to hurry back to the 'temple' to report. Be careful. We can't follow the old rules under the goddess' rule."

"trouble......"

The voices of the two magicians faded away.

Bronya and Raiden Mei communicated silently with each other through the AIM diffusion field channel for a while. I decided to follow and take a look.

[Gilgamesh...Noble Phantasm...Metal Monster...Goddess...]

The two of them chewed on some words in their minds, and followed the footsteps of the two magicians. Listening to their constant conversation and small talk, they got a general understanding of the overall situation of the gang they were tracking down, the magician force called Faldius, and the unknown existence called the goddess in this underground space.

Of course, this is just some basic information. If it is something that even low-level staff can understand, it should not be a real secret.

"Hey, hey! Are you scared?"

Mei Raiden and Bronya listened to the words of the two magicians in front of them. At this time, they had already reached a very deep position. The fire in front of them, or the unknown magic power filled the surroundings, causing the walls around them to become brighter and brighter, as if they were made of some crystal or reflective metal.

"Hush! Keep your voice down!" Another magician's voice sounded, not sounding serious. "I heard that the goddess' reincarnation stage has reached a critical period. The Berserker of Faldius is guarding the temples at all times. We can't see it because it's invisible. You are so clumsy. Be careful that you will be thrown in as a sacrifice next!"

"Okay, okay, I'll be gentle. Don't forget to bring the 'goods list' with you."

The two magicians left the long and narrow corridor and walked into the magnificent world.

【...】

Bronya and Raiden Mei stopped, [Sister Mei... did you hear that? A metal monster that can also turn invisible...]

The two stood in front of the tunnel entrance. They needed to make a choice here. Being invisible meant they were at risk of being exposed. Of course, it was also possible that neither side could find each other. In any case, they had already obtained a certain amount of intelligence. Going forward, the worst case scenario was that they would face at least three types of enemies: [Magician Group], [Metal Monster Berserker], and [Goddess].

[We can't just back down like this!] Mei Raiden said as a matter of course, although from the previous conversation between the two magicians, those humans who were transferred here seemed to have been treated as "some kind of human batteries". This statement made Mei Raiden feel a chill even though she was confused. In her imagination, it was undoubtedly an extremely barbaric and cruel practice.

[Yes!] Bronya also agreed. [Bronya will first sort out the information and send it back to the central 'Miss Wujo'. Then we will continue the action.]

After the two of them were busy for a while, they began to check their equipment. In addition to the rich functions of the biological drive armor, including the AIM diffusion field communication equipment, there was also the special electromagnetic conduction type sword equipped by Raiden Mei, Bronya's AIM diffusion field impact type gun, and so on.

In addition, there is an AIM jammer.

[What is this? ] Raiden Mei asked in confusion, as if she had never seen this before.

[The AIM jammer was given to me by Mr. Walter. It can temporarily build an AIM diffusion field at any location. If the opponent uses the "unusual power of law" - that's what Mr. Walter said - we can use this to temporarily support for a while.]

After the agreement was reached, they walked into the entrance at the end of the corridor.

The glittering golden scene instantly covered the vision.

The first impression is dazzling, luxurious and extravagant.

【This--】

Mei Raiden and Bronya were both staring in amazement at the magnificent tall temple complex in front of them. Every brick and tile of the temple was built with magnificent materials. In addition, in order to cater to the hobbies of the temple owner, countless lustrous rubies, sapphires, lapis lazuli, obsidian and other rare minerals were inlaid in it after being carefully polished and carved.

This is not a separate temple.

Instead, it is a huge palace complex formed by the integration of many large temples, corridors, platforms, altars and other buildings.

However, these are not all of the temple. Climbing up the long and wide road, you can see the dazzling throne in the center of the large number of temple complexes.
