77, Alice Truth Stone

"Mr. Driver, you should know, right? About 'Azathoth' in the Cthulhu mythos. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Xia Qiudong nodded.

The Cthulhu Mythos, as the most popular mythological system in the world before the summer and autumn crossing, is a 'new trend' mythological system, which is widely spread and popular in various two-dimensional works.

But-

Even so, in the real Cthulhu Mythos, it's impossible for an evil god or something to turn into a cute girl to fall in love with you.

Because the main body of the Cthulhu Mythos is always 'despair in the face of unknown fears in the universe'.

Xia Qiudong remembered that there was a saying about the evil god Azathos that everything in this universe was a dream of Azathos, and when Azathos woke up from the dream, the world came to an end.

Conversely, when it falls asleep again, a new world begins.

Xia Qiudong realized, although the specific words were not clear, he vaguely had a feeling of grasping the key information.

Destruction, rebirth, reincarnation

If this world is a novel or a game, the theme should be quite common in recent years.

Similar to the Cthulhu Mythos, there is actually Norse mythology.

In Norse mythology, even if you are Odin, the king of the gods, even if you hold the holy spear in your hand and have already seen the vision of the future, you cannot avoid the final ending, and can only bloom your brilliance in the final feast, burning yourself like a flame, and then ...... After burning out, it disappears into nothing.

"Here it is, Alice."

The closest Shura god Buddha to Xia Qiudong and Alice, Sun Wukong, looked up at the sky and said in a rough voice.

The ground suddenly began to tremble.

One, two, three-

Then there were countless tremors that trembled like the heavens were falling apart.

"What ......?"

Xia Qiudong raised his head and looked at the huge, indescribably twisted monsters that fell from the sky, pieces of flesh and eyes.

"D-species, abyss, scourge beasts, as many as they may be, but, my father, they are called 'Azathoth,' and they are the procedure for disposing of everything that was there when the time comes, when the flame of the world is about to be extinguished."

"Program?"

"It's just an analogy, if 'Azathoth' is anti-virus software, then those of us who live in the existing world in various forms are viruses, and although we will eventually be killed, we are not unable to do something to ......resist," Alice muttered, looking at the monster falling from the sky.

Alice and the others are now on the Kunlun Mountain in Zhongzhou, so they can't see it, but now all over the world, I'm afraid they are all in chaos because of these sudden monsters.

And those Shura gods and Buddhas, except for Sun Wukong, all of them rushed towards those monsters with a strange roar.

There is no purpose, not even the desire to win, just at the end of the end, burning one's own life and releasing the last glory.

Alice continues:

"As long as the flame of the world is not rekindled, 'Azathoth' will not stop the work of 'anti-virus'...... Azathoth could not be killed because they did not exist in the first place, but were a natural phenomenon when the world came to an end...... But "

Alice suddenly raised her head and looked at Sun Wukong, a special existence that was obviously close to Alice and different from other Shura gods and Buddhas, and said:

"Sora, I'm sorry to trouble you again, buy me a little more time, I also want to talk to this 'real otherworld', this 'author' again, and tell him the truth he wants to know, in order to ...... No more despair, a world that can continue forever. ”

“...... My first friend, the person who created me, created the 'Gate' in order to prevent the end of the world, and after her death, I will always look for the 'Door' for the 'Gate' to prevent the flames from burning out and pass on the flames...... But four years ago that was the last time, when I chose you and you choose him now. ”

Sun Wukong said, put the famous golden hoop stick on his shoulder, and glanced at Xia Qiudong.

"Since he is a 'real person from another world', then the last chance to 'make a wish' is for him, right? Don't worry, as long as I can hold on to this dharma, I will open the 'door' for you and buy time to complete the final 'wish', and 'Azathoth' will not be allowed to break in." ”

After finishing speaking, Monkey King, who stood up and was more than three meters tall, strode out of the courtyard where Alice and Xia Qiudong were.

Outside, the battle between the gods and Buddhas of Shura and Azathos was in full swing, and countless lives were dying all over the world every moment, but the courtyard where Alice and Xia Qiudong were located had become a small pure land.

"Mr. Driver."

Taking a deep breath, Alice tried to calm down the urge to cry as she watched the back of Sun Wukong leave.

"Our world is a world of despair, a world where there is absolutely no HappyEnd, and I can't even tell you the full cause and effect here, so let me tell you my story and how I knew all this...... Tale. ”

☆

A woman must be mentioned at the beginning of the story.

Her name is: Sophia Hohenheim.

Alice's father. Yes, a woman who is Alice's biological father, albeit a man.

Because she is an alchemist, an alchemist who does not like men, only women, the best alchemist in the world.

In this world, those alchemists who are equal to scientists actually have their own tendencies in the field, whether they are practical or experimental.

This is also known as the academic field.

Some people are good at smelting steel, some people are good at making flames, and Sophia Hohenheim, who inherited the surname 'Hohenheim', is good at refining 'truth'.

She is an alchemist of truth.

The essence of alchemy is 'decomposition and composition'.

Theoretically, as long as there are suitable materials, as long as the structure of what is refined, even 'soul', 'life' or even 'fate', can be refined by alchemists.

Of course, this is just talk.

Because no one knows what the structure of the so-called 'destiny' is.

Then again, does there really be such a thing as 'fate'? In the final analysis, the so-called 'fate' is just a kind of human imagination, a kind of escape psychology in the face of powerless things.

It is objective, it is relative, it is abstract.

In fact, no one has any definite evidence of its existence, even if it is an inexplicable thing like a soul.

This is all pseudoscience. Sophia, who prefers to call herself a 'scientist' rather than an 'alchemist' as an outsider, said.

However, one day, for various reasons, she unexpectedly got a strange inheritance of the gods-

A recorder that records some of the technological fragments of the legendary 'Kamiyo Empire'.

Because it looked like a stone, Sophia called it the 'Stone of Truth'.

Every alchemist is interested in the incredible black technology of the Divine Empire, and Sophia is no exception, and she soon becomes obsessed with studying the contents of the 'Truth Stone'.

Of course, she was not idle during this time, in addition to studying the 'Truth Stone', she also bent the little princess of the Uesugi family by the way, and she was also the last head of the Uesugi family to inherit the name of 'Uesugi Kenshin'.

Of course, that's not the point.

The point is that Sophia and Qianxin, who are also women, will not have children, and according to other examples of same-sex marriages like theirs, they should adopt a child - this world has never really been peaceful, there are too many orphans or something.

However, things turned around.

Just when Kenshin named his daughter 'Alice' who hadn't had time to adopt or even started looking for.

Sophia told Kenshin that they no longer had to adopt orphans who were not related to them as children.

"'Truth Stone'! There has been significant progress in deciphering the 'Truth Stone'! ”

Sophia, who speaks a strange grammar that is clearly in the same vein as Alice, announces the birth of the 'protagonist' who will change all the fate of the future and let the last era, the end of the age.

"I've got a way to observe and capture the 'soul'! Forge your soul! Refining the 'truth'! I can do it! ”

Yes.

Sophia, she decided to do it herself-

'Refine' your own children.
