Chapter 2: Training, a Harbinger of Big News (Part II)
In the main conference room of the first church of the Galaxy Monastery, two people were playing chess. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Dean Bicester, your king has been captured, and there are not many other pieces left, so it seems that I have won this chess."
"Damn fellow, Bishop Ito, can't you just put some water? In the past, when we were students, I was very generous enough to let you win the training battle and keep the first place in the points ranking. β
"It's rude, would I have been at a disadvantage at that time if it weren't for the laxatives that Dean Bicester put in my lunch? The chessboard is like life, and it is cruel to oneself to give mercy to the enemy. β
The man due north was Ito Hibertley, and his opponent was Bist Ador.
Most of the chess board is dominated by Bishop Ito's Kuroko, and the besieged Shirako King has no chance of turning defeat into victory.
"Not to mention decades ago, what is the purpose of calling me back this time? What about the other vice presidents? β
Bishop Ito and Dean Bicester asked as they packed up their chess pieces, knowing very well that there must be other reasons for coming back this time, and it was not as simple as playing chess with him.
"The other three vice presidents have already been arranged for a lot of important things, and if you have watched the news, you know that there have been constant attacks on Earth recently, right? Do you think this is groundless? Or is it a special operation negotiated by the perpetrators? β
"Of course, there is a news that there is basically no similarity between the places that were attacked, just like the collapse of the mountains in the snow country and the earthquake in the towns of the islands, and there is no clue."
"That's right, whether it's an attacked power station, a bombed-out ship, or a damaged tower, there is almost no relationship between these buildings, but that doesn't mean they don't have a relationship."
Abbot Bicester picked up a chess piece and fiddled with it, this was the king who had been surrounded just now.
"The mechanical planet Brant, the mineral source Martian Morris, plus other artificial planets and small federations, they have all sent diplomats to communicate with us; At present, the earth can be said to be a transit station, like a space station set up in the universe, which plays the role of connecting different forces. β
"What are you talking about? Whether it's Brant or Morris, they all want to play the role of a hunter. This era is not a gentle era, and sooner or later the herbivorous sheep will be exploited, so ......"
"That's it, the reason why different forces came to Earth to contact us is simple, they want to get enough information and want to contact other different forces. A powerful force, organization, and country does not rely entirely on force, and alliances are the wisest thing to do; Now that Earth is a federal organization, it is not surprising that the Galactic Abbey, as one of the largest members, is noticed. β
"So what does what we're talking about have to do with the recent spate of attacks?"
Bishop Ito was thinking, but he couldn't think of an answer.
Looking at Abbot Bicester in front of him, Bishop Ito sounded his identity and background.
Bist Deval Vancyl Yador was born into a family with a long history that dates back thousands of years; He has been one of the leaders of scientific research organizations in the past, has also obtained various degrees of theology, and has a good interest in special technologies.
The long-awaited immortality technology, the cloning technology that has been denied by human rights organizations, Dean Bicester is arguably the best in these fields.
But Bicester withdrew from that stage and was willing to serve as such a dean who existed in name only.
"Dean Bicester, could it be that the old man above asked you to investigate these attacks?"
"Alas, you also know that those old men can only give orders, and it's impossible not to do it, but it's hard for my old body to move."
Dean Bicester, who was pounding his shoulder, suddenly bent over, and a book fell out of his arms.
γSwimsuit Heaven~! A special collection of edge rubbing of beast-eared girls! ο½γγ
Bishop Ito pretended not to see it, and set aside the chessboard he had packed, and Abbot Bicester picked up the book as quickly as he could.
"It's a nice day."
"Not a child again, Dean Bicester."
"This one is really pretty!! Forget it, what I'm trying to say is actually this, you can see it just by looking at it. β
Abbot Bicester, who received the special collection in his arms again, took out a small box, and the box projected a map, which was a map that expanded around the main courtyard of the Galactic Monastery.
No, not just one map, but many more maps, with detailed descriptions of each of the locations that were attacked.
There are many red dots on the map of the whole earth, and some of these red dots are clustered together, and some are scattered.
"I can't see it clearly now, if all these red dots are connected by a single wire."
Dean Bicester swiped his right hand, and the projected map immediately changed.
All the red dots were joined together, and Bishop Ito frowned slightly at the sight of the pattern in front of him.
"This is...... It doesn't look like an ordinary pattern. The coat of arms of the Demon God of Cthulhu? The spell of an ancient culture thousands of years ago? Or is it something else. β
"It seems that you also know a lot about unorthodox culture, but what you said is not right, you should have encountered the pattern of these things, didn't you report it before?"
"Reported before? If you look at this pattern separately, it looks a bit like an art painting. β
No kidding, Dean Bicester laughed, and he manipulated the map in front of him again.
Except for the red dots that were connected, everything else was removed.
"See? This pattern is actually a magic circle, as you mentioned in your previous report, 'The knights of Pegras are trying to summon the gods', and there are a group of troublesome people who are also planning to do things on Earth, using Earth as a medium to summon something. β
ββ¦β¦ It can't be, magic has indeed become a normal perception of the world, and using a planet as a medium is not the same as using an entire primeval forest as firewood for barbecues? β
"Nothing is impossible, that's why I was asked to investigate."
"Guys who can do these things, guys who dare to do it......"
Maybe it has as much power as the Galactic Monastery, maybe it's the Cross Orthodox Church, maybe it's some other organization.
There are many possibilities, and it's not easy to narrow it down.
"Now the monastery is obviously understaffed, negotiating with the security organization, talking to the heads of other planets, missionaries, rescue personnel, that is to say, to use all the people who can use it."
"Can you use it......"
"I don't want Earth to be used as a pedal to summon anything strange, maybe the most important thing is to find that mage, right?"
"So, Dean Bicester, please don't spend your time on your mother."
Bicester, reminded by Bishop Ito, widened his eyes and finally nodded.
"I'll reduce the number of purchases."
ββ¦β¦β
Isn't there a complete lack of thought of giving up?
When the two of them finished talking and were about to play Go, there was a loud noise outside.
As if there had been a slight earthquake, the anomaly was accompanied by blue light rising into the sky.
"Bishop Ito! Speed makes people go and see! β
"I don't think it's a terrorist attack, so don't worry."
Bishop Ito put down the chessboard, calmly raised his right hand and took out the phone, informing the troublesome guy to stop this action.
ββββ
"Wow!! Didn't you say it to the end?! My terminal is ringing!! Wait a minute!! My terminal is ringing!! Whoa!! β
Yahui, who was frantically fleeing from the Nuoda Plaza, shouted, but the woman behind her, who was covered by the demon god, had no intention of stopping.
"Saviara! Saviara! Did you hear me?! I actually use the ability here!! What was said before doesn't count? β
"Of course it counts, but I've always used the back of the knife, and the blade has never been used at all."
"The Demon God is also a kind of blade!!
The Interrogator of the Cross Orthodox Church, Saviala, responded with a righteous expression and had no intention of stopping.
Behind Yahui was a huge black translucent demon god, and the demon god was wrapped in lilac gas, and began to smash into his location with the same translucent giant blade.
"Father Ahui! Don't keep running away! Let me exercise again! β
"What kind of sport is this!!
The sound of breaking wind sounded, and the purple madness roared wildly, and Yahui reacted quickly because of the strengthening of the [Church of Divine Language].
His body tensed up from the danger, but it also sharpened his senses.
Yahui didn't need to look back to feel the landing point of the opponent's attack, so he fled frantically to the left, and dodged the first attack.
Bang!! The shattered ground splattered with rubble, and Ahui struck her right fist as Saviara lifted the giant blade, and the fist clashed with the energy of the Demon God's Blade, causing Saviara's Daedric to lose a little of her balance.
Seizing this opportunity, Yahui launched a counterattack, and the whole person stepped on the blade that the demon god deviated to the side and ran.
"Sister-sama, isn't that something like a shockwave? Why can the owner step on it? β
Vera asked with a puzzled look on her face, which she hadn't had time to ask until now.
However, it was not Vina who answered her, but Salom, who was sitting in a chair to the side.
"Aren't you a mechanical species? If you're a mechanic, you'll definitely need a flying wing, right? The ability of gravity control is not simply used to reduce the weight of objects, although the nature of the demon god is not made by technology, but it has the same effect. β
"Miss Salom means that the demon god that appeared out of thin air can be understood as a chaotic accumulation of gas because of the center?"
Vera, who understood the implications, replied, and Salom nodded.
"But you're magic, no, it's better to use a curse."
Directly in front of him, Yahui had already narrowed the distance between him and Saiviara, and the fist that had been used as a weapon landed on the surface of the demon god.
Some of the lilac gas dissipated, and a rippled pattern appeared on the demon god's armor.
"Just in time, spread!"
"On purpose?"
The gas around the demon god exploded, and Yahui raised his arms to block the fist swung out by the demon god, and the whole person was smashed to the ground.
Yahui, who turned his body in the air, stabilized his body that had just lost his balance, and he made a big jump backwards the moment he landed.
Saviara's pursuit didn't hit, but gave Yahui breathing space.
"Stop, stop!! STOPοΌοΌ I need to answer the phone! This is important!! β
"Forget it, let's stop here, I sweated a lot anyway."
Saviara, who did not pursue again, ended the use of her abilities, and the demon god disappeared with her.
"Then it's our turn next!!"
"yes, let's change it later."
Otilia and Ariel stepped forward at this time, and Yahui answered the phone while pulling Saviara away from the venue.
"I'm so sorry...... Bishop Ito. β
This was Yahui's first sentence after opening the terminal.
ββββ
Sitting in a resting chair, Ahui watched the battle between Otilia and Ariel, the two of them could be said to be on par, but once they got close to Otilia they would have the upper hand slightly.
"Who was practicing you just now?"
"Clearly, Miss Salom, you know."
"Even if you knew, I wanted to ask, because the reaction of the humans like you and the others was very interesting."
Salom remained in the state of watching the play, and had no intention of getting involved at all.
It's a good thing, even though Salom looks like a small girl, she actually has terrifying destructive power, especially magic that is more buggy than high-tech.
"Husband, please use a towel."
"Master, this is a drink, because the owner has just exercised, so I heated the drink, please don't drink it all in one go."
Vina and Vera were as attentive as ever, which made Yahui feel very pleased.
"You, did that phone call tell you you you have other things to do?"
"Please don't use mind-reading magic."
"No, mind-reading magic is a difficult magic, I didn't bother to use it, I just paid attention to your lips."
"Lip language? Anyway, I was given time to go out and have a look, and some locations were designated. β
"Where?"
"That's right, art galleries, beaches and historical museums."
"Seems to be interesting."
Seeing Salom's interested expression, Yahui suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"I want to go as alone as I can."
"How boring is a person? More people are fun, aren't they? β
Bang!!! There was another explosion on the training ground, and Otilia's fist was even more terrifying than Yahui's strengthened fist.
"I'm the one in charge of spying on you, and I'm not going to let you run around alone."
Saviara heard the conversation between Yahui and Salom clearly, and immediately expressed her position.
There are different degrees of cases, attacks, and problems happening all over the earth, and Yahui's side is no exception.
"I wish it was ordinary."
Yahui expected this, but the status quo was contrary to what he had thought, especially his identity as a 'son of God' that outsiders called him......
