The Book of Spirits: A Study of the Five Spirits

The five spirits refer to those who exist in the world:

Photanima, Detanima, Sanintanima, Spitanima, and Phantanima.

============================================= Photanima: The full name of the Photonic Spirit.

Breaking free from the dependence on physical shijie, a living form composed entirely of photons. It has a complete personality and mind, and can be said to be a fully formed spirit body.

Its ability to think and remember is derived from the constant fusion of intrinsic photons.

Intrinsic photons are made up of an infinite number of forms, and the process of combinatorial fusion is infinitely close to the speed of light. As a result, this spirit is like a supercomputer, with an astonishing ability to do logical calculations and an almost infinite memory.

The creation of the light seems to be the result of some great will in the universe.

The "Great Will" stimulates a certain intelligent creature in a specific form, so that the photons in the organism change from disorder to order, evolve into various functions, and finally evolve into a special photon lifeform that is free from the shackles of physics and can survive in the world with photons alone.

The purpose of the Great Will seems to be to create a "special point" that can reverse Shijie's fate, relying on the power of the light to reverse Shijie's destruction.

Broadly speaking, all spirits composed of photons can be called [light spirits] in a general sense. However, the most complete and pure, independent photonic life forms that can exist independently and have autonomous consciousness are defined as [light spirits].

============================================= Dark Spirit: (Detanima) is the full name of Detronic Anima.

It's very similar to the light spirit, but it's made up of all shadows.

A dark electron is also an intrinsic photon, but its combined form is fixed.

Since dark sons cannot be fused, they cannot participate in mental operations, let alone form memory. This means that the Dark Spirit cannot be capable of self-thinking or memory, and that it exists for one purpose only: to destroy (devour).

The dark spirit itself has the danger of destroying shijie, and the dark spirit composed entirely of dark children expands this danger to the extreme, and it can be said that the dark spirit is an extremely evil spirit that exists only to destroy (devour) shijie.

============================================= Holy Spirit: (Saintanima) full name "Eternal Holy Spirit" (Eternal Saintanima).

It is an artificial spirit created by the Round Table System, and the main body is composed of the thoughts of the Knights of the Round Table of the Devotion System.

The Round Table system extracts photons from the light veins of the planet, and then wraps the Knights of the Round Table in an enchantment (spirituality) as the core of the Holy Spirit, and finally creates the incomplete spirit of the Holy Spirit.

The generation of the Holy Spirit requires strong willpower and a never-giving up "wish" of human beings. This kind of thinking will provide a strong core to the Holy Spirit, and the stronger the desire, the stronger the Holy Spirit will be.

However, human nature is changeable. The core of the Holy Spirit will eventually lose all humanity and become a beast-like creature that only follows the instinct of survival.

The Holy Spirit, dehumanized is very dangerous, they will actively attack those who threaten them, and the Holy Spirit is an immortal being that cannot be killed by ordinary means. The creators of the Round Table System were well aware of the potential dangers of the Holy Spirit, and from the very beginning imprisoned the Holy Spirit in the Pure Land of Avalon forever.

The Holy Spirit is so close to the realm of God that they are able to use their own mental images to corrupt reality, distort the original laws of the shijie, and replace them with their own laws.

For example, the Holy Spirit is able to ignore the original laws of inertia of objects and cause massive objects to pause momentarily from their high-speed motion.

Those who become Knights of the Round Table can summon the Holy Spirit through a contract with the Round Table System. But this calling is not a summoning of the Holy Spirit from the Pure Land of Avalon.

Quite the opposite.

The summoner summoned a part of the Avalonian Pure Land and temporarily connected the Pure Land with the mortal world through the subspace. In this subspace where the Pure Land and the earthly world interfere with each other, the Holy Spirit of the Knights of the Round Table can move freely and follow the knight's instructions to attack their targets.

Due to the burden of such summoning on the Round Table system, the system defaults to the fact that a Knight of the Round Table can only use the Holy Spirit Call once a day, and that a maximum of twenty-four Knight (and one "king") can contract with the Round Table System at the same time.

When a knight makes a formal contract with a knight of the Round Table:

(1): He will strip a very small part of the spirituality (human nature) from the physical body.

(2): With this spirituality at its core, the round table system gathers photons from the planet and ultimately creates the Holy Spirit.

(3): Most of the spirits of the Knight of the Round Table will be stored in a special container - [Holy Spirit Diamond] - and will be carried by the knight, and the spirit that becomes the core will remain in the Pure Land of Avalon (due to safety protocols, all the Holy Spirits are not allowed to leave Avalon) (4): When the Knight needs to summon the Holy Spirit, use [Holy Spirit Diamond] as an anchor point to create a subspace where the Pure Land and the earthly world temporarily overlap, (5): The summoned spirit will be the same as [Holy Spirit Diamond] Merge, form a full Holy Spirit, and fight according to the orders of the Knights of the Round Table.

(6): The time of summoning is related to the intensity of the Holy Spirit, and the scope of the overlapping space. The stronger the Holy Spirit, the greater the range of its activities and the shorter the summoning time.

In addition, summoning the Holy Spirit is not a form of magic, there is no petrification punishment, and humans can use it with peace of mind.

In addition to the artificial spirit created by the round table system, it is said that the Holy Spirit also exists in nature. This may also be the result of the intervention of the great will of the universe (or a planet).

The Holy Spirit in nature is scarce and cannot be tamed by humans. They are almost never recorded, and when they do, they are generally worshipped as some sort of deity by the local aborigines.

It can be seen that the ancient people's conceptual distinction between gods and the Holy Spirit was very vague, and it was not impossible for spirits in nature to be worshipped as gods, and it was not impossible to develop various religious systems in the future.

It is very likely that the gods who have the appearance of various strange creatures are the original form of the Holy Spirit.

At present, there is still a very fierce debate in the academic community about the gods that the wild Holy Spirit may map to.

============================================= Spitanima: The full name of the Everlasting Spitanima.

Like the Holy Spirit, artificial spirits created by the Round Table system.

It should be said that it was an early failure.

The Holy Spirit has human desires as the core of his thoughts, while the evil spirits are more pure and have human desires as his core.

However, human desires (demonic nature) are never-ending, just like the greedy nature of human beings.

The evil spirits created by [desire] are also insanely greedy and completely uncontrollable.

Even the Knights of the Round Table, who had created the evil spirits, could not command their own spirits to fight, and the evil spirits they summoned only acted on their desires, knowing only to destroy, kill, plunder, and encroach.

Although the evil spirit is uncontrollable, it is inherently much more powerful than the Holy Spirit, because [desire] is an extremely powerful energy of thought.

The knights, on the other hand, abandoned their own desires and created them after the evil spirits, and the Holy Spirits, with [wishes] at their core, were weakened a lot because the [wishes] themselves were not strong.

For many generations after that, Pantoracon's selection of the Knights of the Round Table was rigorous: only the most thoughtful and determined knights were qualified to become the Knights of the Round Table.

These are the only people who can truly give birth to a powerful Holy Spirit.

And the criteria for choosing knights in Pantoraken are [knightly rules].

Unfortunately, most of the knights of later generations only formally obeyed the rules of the knights, and pretended to be noble and kind on the surface. They did not know the true meaning of the rules or the existence of the round table system.

The rules of the Pantoraken knighthood have been declining in the [Lost Millennium], and there are very few knights who are truly pure and kind-hearted.

============================================= Phantanima's full name is PhantomicAnima.

Spirits that behave very similarly to the dehumanized Holy Spirit or evil spirits are fundamentally different.

Although the phantom spirit is composed of photons, it does not serve as the [core] of the mind body, but only a pure emotion scattered in each photon of the spirit body, forming a unity with a simple consciousness.

In other words, the apparition is the embodiment of the [collective unconscious] and at the same time the existence closest to the truth of the universe, the true "god" - [Astrominicense].

Since the phantom is a product of the unconscious, its essence is infinitely close to [chaos]. Its liliang is also almost endless, and is much better at perverting the laws of shijie than the Holy Spirit.

But the phantom can barely exist on Shijie.

Its way of existence is very loose, like a fog that can dissipate at any time, and it is only a simple [thought] that sustains the essence of the phantom, and this kind of thinking will quickly dissipate as time passes.

The phantom cannot be preserved in the Pure Land or remain in the world for a long time, it can only find a sapient creature as a host, relying on a certain emotion of the host to sustain its existence. When this emotion (e.g., anger) of the host erupts to the extreme, the phantom can manifest from the host's body and explode with powerful destructive power.

Since the phantom itself is the embodiment of chaos, infinitely close to the existence of the truth of the universe, it is not controllable, and its destructive power is also a natural disaster.

The lethality of phantoms can be described simply as "the wrath of God": once it is revealed, it will surely destroy the world, and destroy the world to the fullest.

For this reason, phantoms are often referred to as the "gods of destruction", which are deeply feared by the world, and have been mentioned (and all of them are bad) in various ancient civilizations.
