Eternal and Infinity War

"Let me introduce myself, I am Ultron~ I know that you are very disturbed, fearful, and full of unreality to the world. I can understand that, after all, you have experienced the most unreal thing not long ago-time regression!"

At the time when he was giving a grand speech on TV, in the mental hospital and some prison cells in Academy City, among the prisoners who had experienced the space station hijacking incident and came back to life but were arrested by the upper echelon to cover up the news, many of them were He heard the voice of Jue, the robot who cold-bloodedly ordered the massacre on the radio of the space station.

Many people yelled in horror, and some desperately pointed at the TV and the radio as if they had found evidence, explaining to the guards and prison guards, trying to prove the fact that they were not crazy.

"As the person responsible for this time regression, I think it is necessary to appease everyone's panic, and by the way, I will explain to you some secrets buried deep in history about this world... I am honored, from the Academy City area Special broadcast, you will be the first lucky ones in humanity to learn about one of the darkest pasts."

Mugino Shimtoshi, who had just finished talking with the head of the school (School) Teito Kakine in the caravan, was surprised to see this broadcast to the entire Academy City, not only that, but even the No.2 ranked Kakine Tei in Academy City Du also looked at the S-1 mobile phone in his hand in surprise.

"It's 'infinity', there's nothing wrong with it!" Lancelot said solemnly, standing under the big screen and staring at the screen on a certain commercial street in Academy City.

"But we can't determine its exact location, which is the home of 'infinity' in the online and virtual world."

The Knights of the Round Table who came to Academy City stared at the robot claiming to be Ultron in the picture, and they were sure at the first moment that this robot in Academy City, which was far superior in technology and even claimed to be more advanced than the outside world for 30 years, was The body that 'infinity' possesses in this world.

It's not an ancient demon, it's not a specialized human, it's not the remnant of a god, it's a body constructed from a mechanical body. If you want to say, the body with infinite choices this time is probably more difficult to fight than the half-elf girl it was attached to before. It's much simpler, at least relying on a pure metal mechanical body to drive the change of time is very difficult.

"Considering that it would take too long to start from the beginning, I will briefly explain here. You can question the authenticity, rationality, and so-called scientific nature. Of course, after going back in time, I I believe that your original so-called scientific outlook has probably been ruined a lot, and the acceptance of new things will be higher in the future.”

Jue said while joking, but at this time the upper echelon of Academy City had already exploded, and the personnel sent out to try to interrupt the live broadcast sent back the worst news, unless the entire network is shut down and Academy City is physically cut off, In addition, it is impossible to prevent the robot named Ultron from encroaching on the Academy City network.

Even though Academy City is determined to shut down the physical nature, in many important nodes and facilities, the T-900 army is already fully armed and waiting for the arrival of Academy City personnel, not to mention that Aleister, who is the real ruler, has no Opinions, some soy sauce directors who are used to make up the numbers naturally don't need to have opinions.

"First of all, you need to know one thing, that is, this is not the first time that time going back has happened, but this time because of my experiment, the memory of the time node has been preserved and returned to two days ago."

More and more people on the street gathered in front of the big TV screen to watch Jue, and even the incapable armed groups who always regard the dark night as a good time to attack also gathered in places with TV signals.

"This world has been repeating the process of going back in time, and it is a long backtracking that spans a full 2000 years. Now it can be said that this world is like a world that is frozen in time and deprived of future possibilities. world."

"Then you will definitely think, why time keeps going back, is Einstein's theory of relativity wrong, and my answer is that Einstein is right, time is just being controlled by some more powerful people and Things are at the mercy of things, some beings who are clearly attached to the rights in their hands and do not want to leave the world when it is time to leave, no matter whether they are from the East or the West, no matter what nationality or belief they are, they have been given a unified name --god!"

In Academy City, countless people looked at each other in blank dismay, almost looking at the speech on the screen with inexplicable expressions. It’s fine for robots to appear. After all, it is the crystallization of technology and something that humans can understand, but gods exist. Is it a little too exaggerated?

Chapter 320 Eighth Initial Cause (Part [-])

Who is right, evolution or creationism?

In the hospital, Kikyo Fangchuan, who was watching the speech with his laptop, squinted his eyes. Doctor Netherland Chasing Soul once asked himself this question, and he was not polite. This topic was smashed by a hammer and reshaped himself. The three views, and now the behind-the-scenes rulers of the third force have also put forward this argument, explaining everything with more detailed data and a more popular way.

"Mankind 1000 years ago saw the current human technology as a manifestation of miracles. Now we see that future technology 1000 years later is as incredible as magic. Since Benjamin Franklin in 1706, humans have tried to master what was originally considered to be the gods. Creation—thunder and lightning! In 1856, Nikola Tesla successfully realized the myth of mankind and seized the authority of the gods, and now, 200 years later, mankind has begun to challenge the gods again through controllable nuclear fusion. Trying to hold the sun in your own hands, how far will humans be able to do it in 100 years?"

Ignoring the television and the screen, he spoke in an incendiary tone, in an easy-to-understand way, so that even people who are usually not interested in science can listen with relish.

"Artificial intelligence, unmanned technology, nanotechnology, human cloning technology, these are actually trivial things."

"The cloning of memory that invades the restricted area of ​​the brain breaks the shackles of the so-called soul, travels through parallel universes beyond the limitations of space, breaks the long river of time and cuts out the shadows of the years, and takes the lead in entering the realm that even countless gods in mythology dare not set foot in. It is even possible to ignite stars to create planets, interfere with genes to allow the evolution of life to advance according to its own will, and transcend dimensions to change the entire world from real matter to illusory information. I can say that the so-called God in the Bible What can be done, humans can do it, and they can do it better than him.”

"According to this standard, what is the great being who once created this planet and this world, the so-called creator? Rather than saying that he is a god, it is better to say that he is more powerful and possesses higher wisdom. Let yourself go beyond the rules of the world and stand in a higher dimension—life! Life in material form, life in spiritual form, or even something in between is possible, but the dimensions are different from those described in the Bible and countless myths. The difference with God is that it has no mercy and compassion, it is pure egoism."

Some people with religious beliefs in Academy City are having mental breakdowns, cursing absolutely profane words.

"And this pure egoist created the current world, of course, has nothing to do with love. Every plant and tree in this world, including everyone, is just a new experiment. This is a war that will take tens of thousands of years. The life evolution and civilization development experiments that can only produce results, and the most important experimental products are everyone who is watching my speech-human beings!"

"This guy is crazy. What kind of creator or god is completely nonsense." In a certain research institute, a young researcher shook his head and denied Jue's opinion.

"Experiments on the evolution of life and the development of civilization..."

However, there was also a researcher with gray hair who laughed: "What it said may not be nonsense, after all, the debate on the missing link in the theory of evolution is still arguing."

"Doctor, does a well-known biologist like you believe such absurd words?"

"Is that ridiculous?" The old man glared at his assistant: "Because of the in-depth study of genetics and genes, in fact, sometimes I subconsciously feel that we humans are really being controlled by a greater existence." The way our body is created is so sophisticated that it is beyond imagination, and the human body itself is a self-operating laboratory. In order to resist viruses and bacteria from the outside, and to adapt to the ever-changing environment, our body is constantly changing. They are all repairing bugs and producing small but real evolution, and all of this is beyond our own control. It is as if our body has been implanted with a program before birth, and everything is running in an autonomous mode. There is no room for our will to refuse."

Speaking of which, the old man lowered his head and looked at his wrinkled hands and muttered: "I have always thought that we humans should be a perfect creature and our potential is more than that, but I always feel that there is something wrong there. , we become imperfect, and it's still the feeling of being deliberately changed from perfect to imperfect, as if it was deliberately done by someone."

At this time, the young researcher who was still holding a disdainful attitude also shut his mouth, and at this time the robot claiming to be Ultron in the screen was still continuing to give a speech.

"The birth of human beings is the perfect combination of spirit and flesh. The flesh is just at the right strength. Under the premise of being able to survive in the natural environment, it will not be too strong to cover up the brilliance of wisdom. On the contrary, the defects of the flesh can be used just right. Wisdom makes up for it. Since the Stone Age, human beings no longer rely on their muscles to fight like beasts. Humans have learned how to make tools and weapons. It is really because of the brilliance of wisdom that human beings have gradually stood at the top of the biological chain. .”

"If only human beings are the only intelligent life on this planet, then the discovery of civilization will continue steadily. Competitiveness, it is not just a single race like humans that has been put on this planet."

Countless people watched intently in front of the TV. In the hospital, Kikyo Fangchuan took a deep breath while holding a cold coffee cup, waiting for his words.

"Vampires, werewolves, goblins, dwarves, these lives were also thrown into the planet in ancient times. The creator wanted to turn this planet into a gu pot, and let these more powerful beings become whetstones to sharpen human beings. Hope to see valuable nuances that humans might have in different environments.”

how can that be!

Fangchuan Kikyo frowned involuntarily, thinking that this is completely nonsense. If there are really these non-human species in this world, how could there be no fossils and wrecks left behind.

"I know that many people have begun to think that this is impossible. Since there are these intelligent species other than humans, why are there no traces of them left in this world."

Seeing the smirk on the metal face of the robot on the screen, Fang Chuan Kikyo and many scholars who held the same idea were stunned.

"I will explain why there is no surviving later, and then we will continue to get to the point, when the Creator created this world in order to avoid the rapid destruction of these alien races that are far superior to human beings in the initial competition. In the fragile human civilization, the Creator has given the primary power that all beings in this world can use. It is a kind of power called spirit son, which uses spirit son to interfere with matter with its own will. In layman's terms, it is called spirit son. The power of magic."

fuck you!What a joke!

Finally, some people couldn't help but began to scold. To many scientists and scholars, if we say that the Creator is a higher-dimensional life with higher intelligence, and the earth is a testing ground for higher-dimensional life. A reasonable setting that is acceptable, but once the magic comes out, everyone can't stand it.

Even if you write light novels, you know that magic and science are merged and written together. If the writing is not good, the chance of the novel hitting the market will soar by ten percent. Authors with better brains will not write like this.

"Facts speak louder than words. So far, the power of magic has been passed down from generation to generation. It can even be said to be an open secret."

Numerous scenes change instantly. On the expressway, countless spells are thrown from the moving cars. The flame giant rises up like a mythical reappearance. The red-haired magician keeps throwing flames to the car Followed by a chariot-style powered armor made by Academy City, cooperating with the flame giant to try to snipe the opponent.

This is magic?Maybe it is also a kind of ability.

Looking at the scene in the screen, some people became skeptical. Academy City is a city that mainly cultivates capable people. No one is sure whether the man in the picture is a capable person or a so-called magician.

Steele! ?

In the room, Kamijou Touma looked at the screen on the S-1 mobile phone differently. Wasn't this the situation when Steele captured Nago Arisa and avoided Sateola on the highway.

At this moment, the picture changed again, and the figure of the current Japanese Prime Minister appeared in the picture. However, it seemed that the Japanese Prime Minister was complaining to the participants about the Roman Orthodox Church, the Russian Orthodox Church, and the so-called magic side as if he was negotiating. The huge pressure on the Japanese government, and at the same time hope that Academy City, which is the base camp of the science side, can provide more technology to promote the recovery of the Japanese economy, as a return for the Japanese government to bear so much pressure on Academy City.

In an instant, many people in Academy City stood there dumbfounded, looking at what the Prime Minister said on the screen, as if a time-paused button had been pressed.

Then the picture changed to the president of the United States at the time. President Robert Cartri, who was born in Latin America, was listening to the report of his staff at the White House meeting. Some of the huge troubles brought about by the association of magicians in South America to the United States of America were discussed. The countermeasures, and even admitted in person that the defense against magic, a mysterious and supernatural phenomenon, is too weak. As a result, Russia has not been able to come up with any good countermeasures these days, relying on the support of the Orthodox Church to expand the United States. There is also a report about a goddess who can predict the future in Academy City, which is very interesting.

'Miss Roselein, if the people know that magic exists in this world, and that the government of the United States of America is trying their best to conceal this truth, what do you think they will do? '

"Then, Mr. President, you are not just stepping down. I suggest that you better follow the example of President Nixon during the communist high-tide period. When you sleep, you hide your pistol under the pillow to prevent the angry people from rushing in." Drag you out and hang you on the flagpole outside. '

Watching the dialogue between the President of the United States and the female secretary of state, all the people who had shouted that magic could not exist before were all stunned, and then one after another, the stories of different countries and politicians were exposed. For one thing, magic does exist, not only in the past, but still in the present.

Chapter 320 Nine Create Myths of Myths!

Scene after scene of the picture broke the unwritten tacit understanding between the science side and the magic side that had been maintained for thousands of years without the slightest concealment, and revealed the covered truth of the world to everyone. Although it was limited to Academy City, it was enough. Provoke an earthquake-like effect.

magic!It's not superpowers~ but the magic that only appears in stories and legends does exist, and almost all the top government officials in various countries know about it but try their best to conceal it.

The picture displayed by Jue was like slaps one after another, slapping on the face of the person who was yelling that magic would not exist before.

"Magic is mystery or supernatural power? No! To be precise, magic, or spirituality, is not an incomprehensible power. On the contrary, just like the current scientific system, it is a power that can be studied and controlled. The only flaw It is that the application of spirituality has a prerequisite compared with the current technological system, that is, a world needs abundant spirituality, let’s call it the so-called magic power, and only when this prerequisite is met can magic be used.”

"And the technological system mastered by human beings today...Compared with spiritualism, it should be said that this is the mainstream system of the multiverse. It does not require any prerequisites, let alone any restrictions. No matter which world or dimension it is, it can be used universally. !"

Jue said it very vigorously, but some magic personnel hiding in Academy City were extremely angry when they heard it. No matter what the origin of the robot claiming to be Ultron, it should be a representative of the science side. How dare it be so contemptuous? The magic side disclosed all the secrets.

It must be punished as an example to others!

"Of course, spirituality also has its advantages. Compared with the technological system that takes a long time to study and study, the entry threshold for mastering spirituality, that is, magic, is very low. It can even be said that many times there is no threshold, just like the legendary It often appears in the stories that a certain suffering person suddenly realized something by chance and coincidence, and then he was able to drive water and flames to awaken the power of magic.”

"Compared to the scientific and technological body, it is different. There are no hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of experiments, no finely sifting out the most correct answer from the mountains of data, and no physical objects created by hand. The power under the technology system cannot take effect! Although the later power of magic requires a lot of time and energy to learn and study, but in the early stage of magic, it is very simple and only needs the user to comprehend and imagine, and draw a picture in the heart It can be used! And in the early days of human civilization, human beings who were inferior to other races in terms of physical fitness were able to borrow the power of spirituality, that is, magic, to successfully establish a firm foundation, and survived the era of the jungle.”

Although angry at Jue for disclosing the secret, some magicians were touched by Jue's words. Some magicians did understand the way to use magic inadvertently, just like the lucky ones chosen by fate Similarly, maybe one second he was a beggar, and the next second he became the darling of many magic associations.

There have always been many magicians who have been proud of their identities. After all, not everyone in this world can become a magician. As a magician, it can almost be said that they can control the life and death of ordinary people at will, and their sense of superiority is also great. Born naturally, and extremely contempt for people who live under the camp of science, but a certain sentence just now made these proud magicians feel extremely uncomfortable.

The technological system is the mainstream quantity common to the entire universe, because it does not have many restrictions like magic...

"When the world system takes shape and the competition between different races begins, the main thing for the creators to do next is to add an insurance to the world, because there is another flaw in the power of spirits, that is, this power can easily attract some people from the multiverse. The arrival of high-latitude creatures that feed on spirits, these predators that shuttle in the universe are extremely dangerous to civilizations that have already stepped out of their home planets and started alien colonization, so the Creator still needs to Give this newborn world a little protection."

What you say is yourself, infinite!

Listening to Jue's words, Kamijou Touma almost couldn't hold back his breath when he saw 'Hubi', devouring planets and even entire galaxies, isn't this what 'Infinity' used to do?

"And this insurance is to connect the central core planet that spreads out the spirits with the life consciousness living on it, so that the originally scattered and single spirits are gradually activated under the collective consciousness of creatures and give birth to many selves Consciousness, and these life forms that were born as aggregates of spirits were incarnated over time, backed by the power of the entire planet for this they have become very powerful, strong enough to shake the heavens and the earth against alien invaders, Even if it is impossible to resist, it can delay the time so that the Creator can return to check the situation.”

"And the best thing is that the power of these life forms comes from the planet itself and the self-awareness comes from the clusters of countless creatures, so they don't dare to destroy the planet itself and the races and civilizations on it too unscrupulously, so they have become natural creatures. Planetary guardians, the desire for their own existence will make them resist the invasion of foreign enemies at all costs until the planetary civilization develops normally and orderly.”

When it comes to this, some people on the science side are still confused, but many people on the magic side have shown a look of astonishment, as if they have guessed something, and in the building without doors and windows in the seventh school district, hanging upside down in the container Riares Ta, however, closed his eyes slightly and sighed, as if he had some insight and was mockingly silent.

"That's right! Some smart people probably guessed that these aggregates of spirits derived from the consciousness of the entire planet, the guardians of the planet after being incarnated are the so-called gods in the mythology of human history!! "

In the entire Academy City, countless people opened their mouths wide open to listen to this subversive fact, and some magicians kept cursing and denying it but couldn't suppress the collapse of faith in their hearts.

"Its name is Zeus, its name is Odin, its name is Hua Xu, its name is Izanaki, its name is An, its name is Ra, and many more names that you are familiar with, but there is one thing that must be pointed out. It was never human beings who wanted to believe in and serve the gods, but the gods were born tools for this planet and for the race called humans from the very beginning!"

Gudong~

Index knelt on the ground as if her legs were limp, her small face was pale and her eyes were filled with an expression of unwillingness to believe all of this. The adopted sister, Sochit, and even Motoharu Tsuchimikado were equally surprised and unbelievable.

Human beings deserve protection when they serve the gods, and gods are as powerful as the sea gods. These concerns have been embedded in human beliefs for thousands of years. In the myths and legends that have been handed down from human history to the present, even if they are thousands of miles apart, even if they are Cultures are vastly different, but hardly a single myth dares to present the gods as tools to serve humans.

"Then comes the most critical part. The so-called backtracking of time is determined by the will of the gods, and the cause of going back thousands of years to make everyone froze the time lock of the entire world is due to a human being. !"

Just when countless people's common sense was overturned and even became hysterical, Jue continued to speak in an inciting tone as if he still disregarded it.

"After the world was formed and the whole system began to operate normally, the Creator left our world to start his own new work. I don't know what to do, but there is still a rule left in the normal functioning world, that is to give The creator of human magic does not want human beings to use it forever. The reason is very simple. The entry level of magic is very low. Compared with the early days of the technology system, magic is simply a terrible weapon. It creates flames to kill beasts and enemies, controls air to fly in the sky, and controls water to divide rivers. When humans can easily do these incredible things, what will civilization become afterward? Woolen cloth?"

will freeze!

Some scholars in Academy City are already frowning, especially the scholars of sociology and development.

"The most valuable part of human beings as a race lies in their own wisdom. The lack of physical fitness is made up for by wisdom. This has also become the most outstanding environmental adaptability of human beings. In the plains, in the desert, in the mountains, in the permafrost The cornerstone that can still survive in any environment, fears the darkness and ignites the flames, makes wheels for transportation, builds bridges to cross rivers, and builds weapons to kill beasts, but if humans have the help of magic, they can It is easy to kill wild animals to get food, and it is easy to divide the river and cross the natural moat, so is it necessary to study and learn?

"Will human beings still use wisdom to make up for their own shortcomings?"

"The answer is no. While magic brings convenience to mankind, it also kills the possibility of the development of human civilization. Not only that, people who can use magic become irresistible rulers because of their powerful power, and the entire civilization has become polarized. Let’s get up, powerful magicians and ordinary people without any power, magicians decide the life and death of the lower class people from above, but the lower class people can’t even resist, because magic is too powerful, for a civilization that is still in the primitive stage This power is too buggy for the race!"

The magicians were amazed, while some scholars nodded in extreme approval.

"In the beginning, the Creator defined human beings as intelligent creatures, not wild beasts that rely on brute force to fight. After magic helps humans overcome the initial difficult period, it will instead become a shackle that restricts the development of human civilization in the later stage. It is impossible for mainstream development to continue, because those in power who have power will not allow too many people to have the same power as themselves, and will not allow new powers that surpass all of these to emerge. There is no need to worry, for the magical powers at their disposal now place them at the pinnacle of the mortal world, second only to the gods."

"So what they want is to freeze the world and stop all development so that they can become the top of the pyramid forever! And the worst thing is that the magic power is so powerful that it is impossible to resist it!"

Speaking of this, there must be a sudden interruption, and at the same time, Hubi, who was sitting in front of Dang Ma and the others, looked at everyone with a malicious and mocking expression, then opened his mouth and said synchronously with the voice in the screen: "For this situation The Creator has long expected that the era of mythology will come to an end sooner or later, and for this world, the gods have completed their mission, and the next thing is to abandon them."

Chapter 330 Mortals Beyond the Gods

"The end of the age of mythology and the end of the age of magic have been written in the script from the very beginning, and it is actually very simple to achieve all this. You only need to close or adjust the valve of the planet itself as the main hub to send spiritual particles. Just a little smaller, without the support of the spirit, the magician will fall from the altar in an instant, and the power of the gods will slowly wither, and finally the curtain will come to an end when the development of human civilization reaches a suitable time point.”
