"......Ahh Forget it, I won't be able to get out underground anyway, and no one will come to save me. ”

The clock went back a bit, around the wee hours of the morning.

At this time, Lynn was still falling endlessly.

The [Chisel Through the Wall] in his hand is still silently effective, cooperating with the planet's gravity to lead him to the deepest part of the planet.

According to Lynn's calculations, if it goes on like this...... In less than a month he will be at the center of the earth.

However, he had just crossed the Moho interface and reached the center of the earth to see if he would be burned to death, at least to the Gutenberg face.

He still has time to escape. By the way, the [Chisel Through the Wall] in his hand has a wonderful feature, that is, the harder the place, the easier it can be passed through, and the softer the place, the more difficult.

The reason why it fell so quickly from the building before was also based on this characteristic - the high-rise buildings and urban foundations built by modern civilization are "extremely hard", so they can be easily penetrated, and the original soil under the city is relatively much softer - especially after the Moho surface, the soil is almost still.

That's why Lynn is so laid-back.

If he was really serious, there were actually several ways for him to escape. After all, he is a heretic, and he can use the methods that magicians use, the methods that priests use, and the methods that scientists can use, and he can use them without any scruples.

The only thing he regrets is that he can't watch the growth of the two magical girls......

"Well, it's just a scout today, so nothing special will happen. With Balugo, Rin Tosaka, and Luvia, nothing will happen if they look at it. Tilting his head and thinking about it, Lynn threw the incident behind him and began to continue his adventure at the center of the earth.

This kind of thing is not something that every magician can experience.

Magicians are desperate for their lives, and Lynn is no different, and he can't guarantee that he will be in the mood for another geocentric adventure when he goes out. So if you can, play it out this time......

Just be as pleasant as possible before paying the price you're going to pay for the next GEIS.

At this time, at midnight, it came.

"Huh? What's going on? ”

Lynn suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and the mushroom that had been so close to him suddenly began to swell, swell, and still give off the familiar heat.

It was just an instant that Lynn remembered something, but before his face could change drastically and take out the mushroom, the space was distorted.

"Hmm, wait......"

To be precise, it was the unprecedented spatial distortion that took place in the underground of [Fuyuki City], and something that had been sealed for a long time emerged......

The next moment, Lynn, who was still falling towards the center of the planet, and the mushroom he had just held, were swept into the turbulence of space.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Again, it was a little bit earlier in time, before the Garden of Love Unfolded.

Cain took a book out of the air and placed it in front of Fujimura Taiga.

"Do you know why I arrested you?"

"Hmph."

Fujimura Taiga, who snorted, did not reply, but stubbornly turned his head away.

"Huh." Cain chuckled and opened the book in his hand. The moment the book was opened, a voice came out like the wailing of a wraith, what seemed to be the most painful wail of the undead from hell.

"What's that!! Close it!! ”

Oga Fujimura, who felt a dizziness in his brain after only holding on for three seconds, shouted loudly, as if he had forgotten himself or been kidnapped.

"Shut up? Why close it? That's one of the conditions for opening up there. Cain smiled and reached out a hand to Fujimura Taiga's face.

"The second condition is you, the lucky junior."

However, Fujimura did not understand what he was saying, and ever since Cain opened the strange book with the cover, she felt her spirit tainted and torn apart by the endless sound of resentful spirits. The whole soul was ravaged by the words shouted from that book.

"Do you know why I arrested you?" Cain repeated the question, and the smile on his face grew thicker.

"Because you're lucky. Lucky enough to save the world. ”

"You say...... What ......"

"Ah, junior, maybe you don't know. The butterfly effect caused by the nonsense, such as preventing the occurrence of a major earthquake and eliminating a huge meteorite that could destroy Japan, your activities ten years ago have put the "Aragami" that could have been released to sleep again. If this "Luoyan City Textbook" is the key to open the door, you are the best sacrifice. ”

Bringing his mouth to Fujimura Taiga's ear, Cain whispered as if he were telling some secret that had been hidden for a long time.

It's a pity that Fujimura Taiga can't hear those things anymore. As an ordinary person who was just a little lucky, she had no way to withstand the power of a fully opened Noble Phantasm.

……

Generally speaking, a Heroic Spirit has only one Noble Phantasm, and a little more can have two or three. Such is the mark on Cain's forehead, "Whoever kills Cain will be punished sevenfold" (God's Curse).

And the book he was holding in his hand, which was constantly releasing distorted magic and musical notes, did not belong to him, but were exchanged from someone else.

About a year ago, during the Holy Grail War of the Subspecies in France, the Noble Phantasm used by the mad caster was sold to the Lord of Cain by his Master.

…… But then again, it's not a big deal for the "young girl" named François Pleralati......

After all, that Caster's Snail City Textbook was originally given to Caster hundreds of years ago.

All in all, although this book of the Snail City is not a canon, it is enough as a key to open the door.

"Looks like we're pretty much done with the work below." Cain, who wanted to hold Fujimura Ogawa like a cargo, stood on the roof and stared at the floor of Yanagito Temple. The manipulated monks tore apart the floor sealed with "Aragami" with their hands, with their feet, with their elbows, with their knees, with their teeth, with the top of their heads.

"But that doesn't seem to be enough."

Tilting his head and thinking, Cain snapped his fingers.

"Ahhhhh!!hh

The monks below, who were no longer human, began to howl wildly, biting at each other with their shattered teeth, and blood and filth instantly spread all over the land.

Sacred Temples...... Gone are gone.

This is already the worst scene in the world, people are fighting and biting in the most primitive way...... Perhaps, those who were tortured by Cain to the point that they could not even shed tears could no longer be called human.

"What are you doing!"

Cain turned his head to look and saw that it was the bespectacled boy who had been knocked down earlier...... Yanato Issei was subconsciously forgotten by Cain because he was defeated too early, and was not manipulated into a sacrifice by Cain. Just now he woke up and found that the entire Liudong Temple had become a hell on earth!

He is not a fool, and naturally knows that it is impossible for a mortal to cause this phenomenon, and it is absolutely impossible for him to have the slightest chance of victory when he rushes forward alone.

However, he did not allow himself to back down. Because he is Yanagito Issei, Yanagito Issei of Liudong Temple. The monks below who fell to the ground and died one after another were his family, the closest family members.

So, even if he knew that he couldn't win, he had to rush up and punch him!

"Cut, that little guy from before?! Forget it, there are no more seconds. ”

Sensing that it was about to be zero, he stretched out his hand and wiped it on Fujimura Taiga's arm, and saw the gushing red blood, flickering with a dim light, flowing into the wreckage on the ground.

"What are you going to do to the teacher...... Wow! ”

Yanagito Kazunari saw that it was Fujimura Taihe, and just wanted to rush up, but he didn't expect that the moment Fujimura Taihe's blood fell to the ground, the ground suddenly shattered completely.

A force of attraction came from it, drawing the corpses of the monks on the ground and the broken floor tiles towards a dark bottom. Yanagi Cave was caught off guard and was also attracted to it.

It's like a pebble falling into a puddle of water and disappearing into the ripples.

"Zero hour, it's time."

Cain muttered.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

There is no doubt that there is more than just human beings in intelligent life in this world.

The Dead Apostles who hunt humans, the fantasy species that have long been hiding in the world, the Heroic Spirits who sleep on the Throne of the Immortals, and the gods who hide in various secret realms, fairy realms, and demon realms...... There are also those alien beings from another planet that do not belong to this planet.

Of course, otherworldly monsters are one of them.

No one knows exactly when or how the otherworldly monsters appeared on Earth.

In the age of the gods, it haunted the whole world, was the enemy of all life, spoke an indescribable language, and was like an alien lifeform.

Some were forced by powerful gods to hide in various secret places, while others slept in various places on earth.

Their relationship with humans is like that of "neighbors living in different pockets of the same garment", and although they are enemies of each other, they have always been at peace with each other.

Among them, there is an otherworldly monster that serves an alien evil god, who has built a huge city in the deep sea, and uses the mysterious and secret life of the primeval to live in the world.

Their names are......

Deep Diver ......

I don't know when I regained my 17-year-old adult stature, but the venom on my body disappeared without a trace, and Lynn, who was walking naked on the slimy, dark twisted path, muttered her mouth.

The xenomorph standing in front of him - the head of a fish, but with a human-like facial structure, two huge eyeballs protruding from Lynn staring at him. Its slippery scales are a dull green color, but its exaggerated belly is indeed snow-white, and it looks like an upright frog. There is mucus streaked across the scaly back.

It puffed out its cheeks and showed an expression that seemed to represent a deep diver's smile, and held out its long, webbed hand to Lynn.

PS: The above passage means "In the eternal mansion, in Lalaye, the sleeping Cthulhu waits for you to dream".

PS2: Anyway, did someone forget that I couldn't wipe the mushrooms? The wreckage that Lynn got in the first volume...... Identified as Jing Tai Sui by Fire Rat Barn...... The pit dug was finally used =-=

PS3: Speaking of which, this book is currently being moved to Happy Booker...... Well, basically all the chapters have been moved...... So prepare for simultaneous updates on both sides............ If we're in the mood to write it
