People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

The warm solution soaked Aleister's body, and the small cabin contained a vast range of possibilities. Perhaps this was too simple, but it was not. If you look at it with a spiritual eye, this building is a completely different world, just like Qin Xuan Dong Tian's different world.

Some kind of woody, but like a computing device, is spread throughout the building, as if it is operating this alien world and supporting infinite possibilities of calculations. It looks like a branch of the world tree owned by Qin Xuan. This is called a "tree diagram designer" in Academy City.

"According to the calculations of the 'Tree Diagram Designer', the number of individual characteristics that can be derived is currently 10... Based on the main body's idea, let's call it the 'Crowley Frenzy'."

The numerous branches and branches are constantly developing, constantly exploring possibilities in the void. This model is almost derived from the second law: Interference in Parallel Worlds. Now, all calculations are helping Aleister to differentiate possibilities and open up various different paths.

When success comes in the future, this result will be able to lead to the World Tree itself, and from this, explore the infinite world, instead of just randomly taking chances as before and encountering a demon world.

"However, success or failure will depend on observations when the box is opened... Hmm?"

Aleister felt a buzzing sound in his ears; it was the fluctuation of the AIM diffusion field that was connected to his mind.

From a certain moment on, he maintained this connection, because this special AIM diffusion field was a dedicated channel to Commander Wu Tiao Wuhui - the artificial angel Xilin, used to maintain Xilin's stable output.

But at this moment, someone came in.

And without any tools or permissions.

Theoretically, the only people who possess this property, besides Sirin, a resident of the Imaginary Number District, is Aponia, who can connect to the AIM diffusion field at will.

However, Aleister looked at the figure of the nun that appeared in this special signal network and asked.

"--Who are you?"

------------

some time ago.

Flat, Rin and several other superpowered people were dealing with the Great Mother Goddess, while Kirshtalia and Ergo came to the 10,000-meter-high, super floating fortress of the Holy Church, the Star of Bethlehem, followed by Thea who came to support them.

"Hey, that's strange..." Ergo relied on the flying magic of others to reach the fortress steadily. When his feet landed on the ground, he felt a warm and gentle atmosphere. "Is the air density here similar to that on the ground?"

"Well, through multiple barriers to transform the sky at an altitude of ten thousand meters, even the climate, humidity, and temperature must have been set," Kirshtalia on the side became secretly alert. The Holy Church would not make such unnecessary settings unless it was absolutely necessary.

call--

"Be careful!" Ergo warned as a sound of breaking air was heard.

Kirshtalia was instantly surrounded by a large number of black keys.

Chapter 463: Judgment Day, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and behold, a pale horse. Its rider was named Death, and Hades followed with him.

Power was given to them to kill a quarter of the earth with sword, famine, pestilence and wild beasts.

——Revelation 6:7-8

Some kind of hymn echoed over the Star of Bethlehem.

This place is both a classical church and a heavenly palace of revelation close to the throne of the Most High.

Biagio held a scroll of parchment in one hand and manipulated the silk thread with the other. Biagio was known as a "puppet master", which did not refer to his profession as a magician, but was used to refer to his ability to use silk threads to manipulate his subordinates to fight.

At the other end of the silk thread were agents and combat nuns. Under Piageo's control, they worked closely together, attacking, switching positions and defending like brothers.

But honestly speaking, this level of troop attack is probably not enough for Kirshtalia, who can fight against gods.

"boom--"

The huge starlight turned into a huge ball of light and heat that rushed towards them. The hot flint rumbled and destroyed the agents' offensive with just one blow.

This is the extraordinary power of the ancestral astrology that Kirshtalia possesses.

It can only be said that in the conventional sense, human power is limited. Among the church fighters outside the Burial Agency, there are only a few who can "fight against average Noble Phantasms Servants", let alone fight against gods - the planetary tentacles of the old generation.

Although he had never been on the battlefield in person, but only commanded remotely, Piageo still felt the power of the mythological narrative. At this time, Piageo sat on the throne of the church in the center of the fortress, and the silk thread on his fingers was gradually breaking.

All the threads on one finger broke, which meant that the agents he controlled were defeated in large numbers. At the same time, it also meant that the enemy had broken through all the troops deployed within 10 kilometers in front.

The Star of Bethlehem is both a collection of church buildings and a huge military fortress. The longest part is 40 kilometers long. The team led by Kirshtalia is breaking through at a very fast speed.

Biaggio calmly waited for their attack, seemingly in no hurry at all.

Then, as if in a critical moment of attack, the second silk thread broke.

bang-

It was as if the bell of doomsday had rung, followed by endless explosions. The huge stardust falling from the sky flashed a strange magical light. The sound created by the magnificent and powerful celestial magic spread to every corner of the Star of Bethlehem.

After another planetary bombardment, the Star of Bethlehem site was destroyed.

A large number of objects that looked like fragmented building debris fell down, and among them were many poor church members who were knocked down from a height of 10,000 meters, revealing expressions of despair. However, this did not matter to the person in charge of this ritual site, as long as the most critical process was not interrupted.

"Hmm..." Piageo held the parchment scroll in his hand carefully, as if everything outside was not as important as what he held in his hand.

"There's still a little more time... time needs to be accelerated further."

In fact, the Star of Bethlehem, which cost the Holy Church a large amount of money to collect from the Angel's Library, should not be so fragile. Rather, it is a super fortress that gathers the power of the Crusaders that is almost equivalent to the "foundation of the old human principles". Its strength exceeds almost anything on the surface of the earth. However, due to the needs of a certain ritual, most of the holy objects are concentrated in the ritual site where Piageo is, and there is no time to spend too much energy on other places.

This ritual is not complicated to say. The [Inherent Time Control] data sent by Dr. Hatteres was modified by the people of the church to form a time acceleration barrier blessed by the huge old human ritual field of the Star of Bethlehem. Unlike Kiritsugu Emiya who set the time barrier in his own body, the church's improvement direction is obviously more complicated and numerous, and tends to be different from Kiritsugu Emiya and closer to the use of original magic.

Because the larger the barrier, the stronger the interference or correction from the world. Theoretically, it is extremely difficult to achieve large-scale application. Even in another world line, the reason why Dr. Hatres was able to successfully shape Hephaestion into the god Iskandar with the inherent time control was also due to the special environment of the spirit tomb Albion, which was extremely rich in magic resources.

However, the Holy Church has an advantage that magicians cannot match, that is, the foundation of God symbolized by their faith. This was the founding element of the human world, that is, the operation of human principles, before the new human principles. In other words, the Star of Bethlehem, which gathers the power of the Christian foundation, does indeed symbolize the human world of the old world.

Therefore, the way to offset the correction is to use the "world" to fight the "world". The so-called maintaining the same temperature and environmental conditions as the ground is just a side effect of this super complex fortress effect.

After about ten seconds, the third thread snapped. There was not much time left.

"......" Glancing around, Piageo muttered that the time was almost up, and began to hold up the parchment that the archangel had taken from the Vatican and handed to him, "The beginning of Revelation Chapter 5: I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals......"

Around Biagio, just outside the throne, the flow of time is very abnormal. Just like the effect of the inherent time control, the time within the ritual field is constantly accelerating. Thousands and tens of thousands of years are passing every minute and every second. All of this is separated from the outside world by the barrier. On the side, on the right is the Archangel Michael.

Various holy objects, such as the right hand of the saint, the precious Dead Sea Scrolls, many holy cloths and other objects taken from the Angel Library were arranged on the field. Each of these could be said to be priceless and played a role that was unimaginable in the minds of the world - used to construct a judgment, a judgment from the end of the world.

In simple terms, Dr. Hatteras in another world line used the long time that passed through the inherent time control barrier at high speed to make only one servant "evolve" into a god. In other words, he brought the "far future results" of that servant to the present. Similarly, Emiya Norihiko's goal is to accelerate time infinitely through inherent time control and reach the end of the universe to witness the root (the so-called dead apostle transformation is just a research by Emiya Norihiko to solve the problem of his own insufficient lifespan).

What Biaggio is about to do and accomplish is similar, except that Biaggio is going to accomplish it in a way that is consistent with Christianity. For the church, in other words, for the Christian mythology, what does the end of time and the end of the world mean?

Means 'judgment'.

"boom--"

At this moment, the fierce flow of magic power broke through the obstruction, and the last thread broke. Kirshtalia and his party finally defeated the offensive of all church members and came to the vicinity of the ceremony site.

"--careful!"

Ergo rushed ahead, but was stopped by Kirshtalia. "There is a strange barrier ahead."

"?"

What appeared before the two of them was the brilliant and beautiful church-style decoration, the pure white stone pillars of the corridor and the white throne reflecting the golden halo. Sitting on the throne was Piageo, dressed as a priest, and outside the throne was a smooth stone floor, with small altar-like platforms placed in the four directions of east, south, west and north, probably to store some offerings.

A strange mist-like substance seemed to gradually rise from the altar. The mist-like substances in different directions of the altar had different colors, namely white, red, black and gray.

But its floating appearance was very strange, as if time was accelerated infinitely, it was simply a "particle cloud" composed of countless indeterminate particles - this phenomenon, similar to that caused by Theia's manipulation of time, immediately attracted their attention.

"—It's amazing, isn't it?"

From the throne, Piageo's voice came over, "If you want the holy souls and the innocent lambs to ascend to the eternal paradise in the sky, you must kill the people on the ground and throw the guilty souls into the hell of death and the lake of fire with hot magma, because they are unwilling to accept the Lord's teachings. They kill their brothers out of jealousy and covet their neighbors out of greed... Because the holy and true Lord will judge those who live on the earth and avenge the blood of the innocent."

"...Is this what you are going to do?" Kirshtalia said straight to the point, "A ritual of salvation? The unbaptized people, the sinners you define, will be killed?"

At the same time, Kirshtalia's eyes carefully scanned the things arranged around the throne. These seemed to be special time barriers set up separately. As for the actual flow of time inside, it was unknown, and it would not be a good idea to approach rashly.

"Oh, no need to define, the deed of the Savior's redemption of the world is in my hands, no need to sentence, the case file of God's judgment of the world is in my hands," Piageo held up the parchment scroll, "and only the sinless Lamb is worthy of authority, riches, wisdom, power, honor, glory, and praise..."

"? No...what on earth is he talking about?"

Ergo was obviously not a Christian and could not accept these theological words.

"Four holy objects...judgment...time acceleration..."

Kirshtalia quickly pondered the true meaning of the vague words from the fragmentary information, "--Oh no, he is reciting the scriptures, the end of the world in Revelation!"

If it is an everyday prayer, it may not be a big deal, but in extraordinary ritual venues and specific time and space nodes, certain words will be given special power.

Almost the next moment, Kirshtalia swung her cane—and a huge meteor broke through the sky.

Meteors burned with blazing flames, and hot air currents filled the sky.

This was a bombardment from the sky above. After observing, Kirshtalia found that the time acceleration barrier only covered the four sides, and the throne was not set up. After all, they were human beings and could not withstand the outrageous time flow rate.

hum-

A warm orange-red light flew out from one side; it was an archangel.

Sweep——

The long wing blade turned into the size of a mountain thousands of meters high, and cut the meteorite like a flowing orange-red flame light knife, and then completely shattered the object wrapped in magic power that came from the air attack from the inside, and in an instant it turned into thousands of flames that scattered in all directions.

And this blow seemed like a signal of some kind of attack.

Both sides, no, everyone started their respective offensives.

"Whoohoo-"

In the distant sky on one side, a crystal-colored super-long flying blade attacked. It was a product of the scientific AIM diffusion field that was incompatible with the Crusader angels. It attracted the attention of the archangels dozens of kilometers away. It was the scientific angel that rushed over.

Then, the Archangel, whose target was shifted to Xilin, began to rise rapidly into the sky, and the light of the flames illuminated everything. The huge explosion storm formed by the ice crystal and the blazing fire blades soon swept across a large area of ​​air.

Kirshtalia noticed the departure of the Archangel, a difficult enemy. "I must say that it was your mistake to send your Servant away—"

The cane is raised.

"maybe?"

Piageo stood up, uncovered the parchment, and said: "I saw the Lamb open the first of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures..."

Flaming meteors fell.

Almost at the same time, at the first altar, the surging white mist expanded rapidly.

The power symbolizing totalitarianism manifested itself in the world. As soon as it appeared, it spread out in the sky, forming a vast white curtain. Although the curtain was pure white, it was surging with high pressure and a heavy atmosphere. Meteorites bombarded it mercilessly, leaving no trace.

It is clearly the gathering and dispersing fog, but it feels like a hard object with extremely high density.

And Piageo kept moving, "When the second seal is opened..."

Then, red, black and gray mists appeared one after another.

The Knights of War radiate a fiery and bright aura, like extremely high temperature active flames and heavenly light. The Knights of Famine form black fog that devours everything. The Pale Knights of Plague use fog to form a vast poisonous stream filled with viruses and bacteria that brings death.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

These are scenes that appear one by one as the world approaches its end and the Day of Judgment, and they are also here as a kind of embodiment of the message engraved in the Christian faith and attached to the back of the old human logic. Just as angels are not just functions of God as recorded in mythology.

The knights are not what humans imagine them to be, but are completely amorphous mist images formed by the diffusion of their respective concepts of authority.

But no matter what form they exist in, as long as they spread out, related phenomena will quickly appear on the earth, causing the largest-scale and most efficient killing in human history.

ps Actually, there are many interpretations of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. According to Narita's setting of the Pale Knight, he should have used the understanding of white horse - victory/domination, red horse - war, black horse - famine, and pale horse - plague.

Chapter 464: Counter-Genesis

White, red, black and gray clouds alternately crisscross the sky.

Several strong air currents separated from it and suddenly attacked Ergo and Kirshtalia.

Whirring whirring--

Although they were just a few gusts of air, the ultra-high-quality heterogeneous magic they carried created a force comparable to that of a typhoon.

But from Kirshtalia's perspective, the danger lies not in the scale of magic power, but in the divine authority it carries. That authority is completely aimed at humans, and is sent down by heaven to destroy humans. In terms of efficiency alone, even primate killers cannot match it. If it is placed on the ground, it will surely grow exponentially in human civilization gathering places and stir up a terrible death storm.

bang-

A corner of the huge ceremony venue was swallowed up by one of the black mists. A small piece of ground and several towering columns that were directly encountered by the black mist disappeared instantly, and the original place was exposed to the turbulent airflow at an altitude of ten thousand meters. The side of the part that was touched by the black mist was as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been cut by an ultra-heavy machine tool.

This is Black Horse Knight Famine. It is cutting down the enemy's available space to move.

The White Knight transformed into a protective platinum fog canopy that hovered over Biagio's throne, while the more dangerous Red Knight of War and Gray Knight of Plague attacked Kirshtalia and Ergo head-on.

"——The ground doesn't move."

Kirshtalia cast a brief spell, applying a magic that enhanced the quality of herself and her teammates. This was not simply resistance to poison and high temperature, but it added resistance while allowing them to remain mobile even in extreme environments of high temperature and toxicity.

Then, he waved a ray of starlight, and a corner of the magnificent picture of the outside universe appeared. Magic power that could be described as a tsunami came from the sky, like an unprecedented impact of brilliant meteor showers and terrifying fog flow.

This level of attack became more and more easy for him to handle. Originally, Kirshtalia estimated that he could only launch two or three super-scale planetary bombardments a day. However, in this ritual field that gathered special elements and was located at an altitude of ten thousand meters, it was particularly easy for him to obtain the blessing of the universe and the starry sky.
