Honmaru Chronicle

The man didn't say his name, just let Aleister call him "Zero", his name itself has no meaning anymore.

According to Zero himself, he came from a future where the world was completely destroyed, and the Fifth World War broke out in that world. All the nuclear bomb wells in the world were launched, wiped out 90% of the human beings on the earth, and caused an irreversible nuclear winter.

At that time, only the group of them who were conducting space scientific research and investigation work on Europa survived. Even the human base built on the moon was razed to the ground, and there was not a single survivor left.

The people on the scientific research ship are also very desperate, the earth is destroyed, they can't get supplies, and once they really return to the earth, they will face the terrifying nuclear radiation, and don't know if they can find usable materials.

In desperation, the members of the scientific research team used the alien device they found on Jupiter.This alien device is the first contact of the third kind discovered by human beings, but before their research results come out, the world is actually destroyed.

The alien device looks a lot like a sleeping pod, and it's been more than three years since they were discovered, and the only valid activity they've made has been charging the device.Because they didn't know what this thing was useful for, some people volunteered to become experimental products, while others operated these things almost blindly.

Zero was the first operator.

They discovered that this strange device can teleport people away directly. Although no one knows where the people who were teleported went, there is one thing that those who stay know, that is, the place where they are is getting more and more supplies. In short supply, although solar energy can be used for energy, Jupiter's revolution period is as long as 11.8 Earth years, that is to say, they will soon usher in a full six years without the sun.

Some people shoot themselves, some people feel that it is better to be sent away by the teleporter than to die here, and Zero is the latter.

After he adjusted a pattern he liked most on the system, he was teleported away by that thing.

Then he knew that this was not a simple teleportation device, but a time machine.

He went back to three years ago and replaced his past self.

He knew that the fifth world war would break out next year, but he didn't know why the world war would turn into such a terrible result in such a short period of time. He wanted to continue to participate in the scientific research team to carry out scientific research on Jupiter He wanted to study the mysterious machine, but on the other hand he also wanted to prevent the outbreak of the world war.

He anonymously sent the news of the World War to high-level government officials, but there was no news. He had no choice but to return to his old path and set foot on the road to Europa again.

But this time, before the spacecraft headed for Europa even flew out of the Earth-Moon system, an extremely nasty seizure of power occurred on the spacecraft. Several scientists on the spacecraft suddenly stood up and jointly seized control of the spacecraft .To make matters worse, midway through the fight for control, one of the pilots was killed.

The killing of the pilot has never been thought of before. As soon as this incident happened, the entire spaceship began to panic, and Zero, who was a little confused about why things developed like this, accidentally heard someone After the conversation, he suddenly realized that he was not the only one who went back to the past!

Before him, there were also many colleagues who participated in the teleportation, and there will be after him. He can go back to three years ago, and his colleagues can also come back, or even come back earlier!

That person, or those people, did such a terrible thing in order to better control the mysterious time machine.

Zero didn't dare to let anyone know that he was also from the future, so he had to carefully follow the instructions to work. It seemed that his former colleagues remembered that he had successfully activated the strange time machine in the first place, so they waited until they reached Jupiter. Five years later, he and several other people who were the first to operate the machine were called out to conduct the most basic inspection of the time machine, which had not yet been charged and turned on, and asked several newly brought linguists to try to translate Text on this machine.

Although the linguists who were brought here were reluctant at first, after seeing the real alien machine, they couldn't hold back their curiosity and began to devote themselves to language translation.

This pure alien language is extremely difficult to translate, the words are like words and patterns, and what's worse is that there are many identical words in the long paragraphs, which means that the words of this alien civilization must be Yes one word has multiple meanings.

This makes the translation work slow, and no one dares to dismantle this mysterious machine casually. After the energy is fully charged, in order to prevent the earth from noticing something is wrong, those colleagues who have also experienced time travel can't wait to start experimented.

For the experiment, they prepared all kinds of things, but because no matter what was put in, they would only get the result of being teleported away, the experiment was not going well, and the interpretation of the text was not going well, just because of all kinds of problems In the best of luck, World War V still broke out on Earth.

The fifth world war was almost poisonous, and it only took a short time for it to go from a regional battle to a global nightmare, which eventually destroyed the whole world with unimaginable speed. Pulled into the abyss.

Compared with the speed of world destruction caused by the last world war, this time it only took a little more than two years for the world to be destroyed by a nuclear bomb again.

The second destruction of the world left Zero at a loss. Compared with the last time, this time he only mastered some basic alien languages, such as dates, but he had nothing to gain.

This discovery made him feel a strong sense of frustration and self-doubt about himself. Could he be the legendary waste?Even though he traveled back to the past, he couldn't change anything, and he didn't even know how it all happened!

Could it be that he can only keep going back in time, and then live on with this time machine?

Just when he was irritated, he overheard his ex-colleagues who had exposed their identities complaining. Obviously, some of those who came back went to the government to become high-ranking officials. Why did it become like this?

The words at that time were not taken seriously by Zero. He just helped to travel through time again as before. Whatever, no matter what he did, it was of no avail.

What's worse, he found that even if they travel through time, some people will even disappear after traveling too many times.

It's not simply losing memory or something, but completely disappearing in this world. After returning to the past, it's as if this person never existed in this world.

What's even weirder is that only Zero found out about this, and no one even among the other time travelers noticed anything wrong.

Zero felt terribly panicked. The only thing he could do was to study hard during this period of time and continue to research. After repeated reincarnation more than 50 times, it took nearly 100 years before and after, and he finally understood this machine. operating principle and manufacturing method.

At that time, he was the only member of the scientific expedition team left.

And as Zero learned more and more things, he began to gradually understand some things that he didn't understand before. In order to explore this, he chose to refuse to participate in the scientific research work to go to Europa after he could make his own time machine. It is to find a way to enter the political circles of the country.

Then he knew what he had never known before, the reason for the outbreak and acceleration of the world war.

Zero had always thought that their group of talents were the first to perform time jumping, but this was not the case. There was another group of people who also participated in time jumping before them, and that was the person who first discovered the time machine.

The original discoverer was mistaken for the collective disappearance of scientific researchers because of the appearance of time jumpers. As a result, the entire file at that time was sealed up. Except for the discovery of the third type of contact, no news was released to the public.Among the first batch of jumpers, there was a person like him who existed without being affected by time jumping, and that person also took away the only portable time jumping device in that place.

The man told him a desperate thing, the world war was premeditated long ago, he discovered it by accident after the first time jump, and he kept trying to change it, but What makes him even more desperate is that every time he takes an action, the world will be destroyed at a faster rate. More than 50 times, the world has been destroyed many times due to various inexplicable reasons such as nuclear wars, unknown viruses, weird climate changes, etc.

In fact, Zero has also noticed this point. In many cases, the destruction of the world is almost like a fixed item. No matter what you do, it seems that it will only lead to the only ending of world destruction in the end.

Zero even saw a meteorite that fell from the sky for no reason at all. To be honest, that time made him doubt his life.

The last forerunner learned about the world line theory through research, and deduced a conclusion from the world line theory, that is, the rate of change of the world line is too low today, and only when the world line changes beyond the threshold, can the world change from Come out of the abyss of destruction, otherwise, no matter what they do, the world will inevitably fall into the result of destruction.And those of them who go back to the past will accelerate the destruction of the world.

The pioneers never expected that this would be the result. If nothing is done, the world will definitely be destroyed, and if they go back to the past and try to change this, the world will be destroyed more quickly.

Such a conclusion makes the pioneer feel that he is trying to jump to a longer time, so far back that he was not even born, and try to make changes.

He didn't know if he could survive, and he didn't know what kind of bad consequences it would have, but in order to prevent the destruction of the world, he wanted to try anyway.

The forerunner told him that he and himself are people favored by time locks, so they will not disappear in time travel again and again, but for this, they will be rejected by time, become the ghosts of time, and finally be killed by time. The monster was wiped out.

According to the forerunner, the aliens recorded in the machine he got were extinct in this way.

This time the time jump of the forerunner happened in front of Zero. The world has undergone unprecedented changes, and the world has entered a huge change that has never been seen before. The most obvious point is that the world has been unified, and it is controlled by a government called the Time Government. Beings rule in the form of sex.

Because the Government of Time is in control of the special existence of time, they began to control the lives and wills of all people on this planet without restraint. Everything must act in accordance with the will of the Government of Time, and no voice of resistance is allowed .

This shocking fact made Zero realize what the predecessors had done. He handed over the relevant power and technology of the time machine to the past human government, and finally created such a monster.

Indeed, there is no doubt that in this future, human beings have escaped the crisis of doomed extinction, but with such a high-handed rule that has no freedom at all, most ordinary human beings are not even as good as livestock, and they are not as good as the world What about destruction?

After surviving in the new future for a while, Zero got this result in his mind. After thinking for a long time, he chose to return to the past that was earlier than the time knowledge taught by the forerunners.

His behavior also made him discover another thing that shocked him completely, that is, the discovery of a parallel world with a completely different development.

Different from the change of the world line caused by the fluctuation of the time line, the parallel world is completely different and exists completely independent of his own world. In the world over there, his time ability allows him to hide in the gap of time, but he cannot Time travel with a time machine.

Through communicating with people in many parallel worlds, Zero learned many special skills that he had never heard of before, especially summoning shikigami and summoning fusangshen, which he had always thought were purely feudal superstitions. After returning to the past many times to explore, he also found that if he wanted to act in the past time and want to minimize the fluctuation of the world line, the fusangshen summoned by using the previous things was the optimal solution.

But he still lacks a key method that can completely shake another predicament created by the forerunner.

"If it doesn't work head-on, why not think about it the other way around?" A voice suddenly appeared in Ning Mo's mind, who had been listening quietly.

This time he heard clearly, it was his own voice.

And he also subconsciously said this sentence.

"You said this may be a solution, but when Zero came to Academy City, he was still looking for a solution. He came to ask for my help." Aleister said slowly.

"Wait, wait a minute!" Fox's electronic circuit was about to burn out, "You mean, that person was the first to find Fusangshen Summon?"

"I never said that." Aleister said calmly, "That's your business."

The author has something to say

The code name Zero does not come from "Lelouch", but from the Ultimate Escape series of Kotaro Kotaro.

I've been super busy recently, and because Touken Ranbu didn't say anything about the boss at all, it's a training game after all.But when I wanted to write this article, it seemed that I wanted to create a villain with more connotations?So when I was writing this chapter, I checked a lot of information, went back and read the trilogy of Limit Escape and Steins;Gate several times, looking up at the sky.
