From Father Terrance's wistful, rambling description, Ymir learns how vulnerable he would be in front of Magdalina if he didn't use his ghostly abilities. Excluding the body of the ghost and various super powers, Ymir's own physical combat power is no different from that of ordinary people.

Even, it is not as good as an adult who insists on long-term exercise, after all, his body will not be so extravagant as to go to the gym to lose money except for reading when he is alive.

The only thing to be happy about is that perhaps because of the awakening of the blood of the gods hidden in his body, Ymir has gained almost infinite recovery and stamina.

This doesn't really help a dead man, but it can bring some cover to his true abilities.

"In that case, I'm really a weakling" Ymir spread his hands, helplessly dejected, Father Terrance trying to convince him to participate in the unified magic training of the Church.

"In a reasonable training system, you can get as much growth in strength as possible." Father Terrance took the trouble to say, "Whether it's mysterious magic or disciplined science, as long as you master a certain method and learn it step by step, you will definitely gain something." ”

Listening to Father Terrance's introduction, Ymir touched his chin and pondered, "But is it because I am a descendant of the Longinus family that I can receive so much preferential treatment?" ”

After spending so much time in the Paladin's Library, Ymir was able to clearly understand how rare it was for a full membership of the Knights of St. John's Order, not to mention the special training in church magic that many people couldn't ask for.

Father Terrance made a triune gesture on his chest: "It is a blessing from God, who has chosen you, child." ”

"However, I feel that I am strong enough to protect myself, and I have begun to learn magic." Ymir was referring to his ghostly abilities, but Father Terrance apparently didn't know about it.

He looked Ymir in the eye and said seriously, "Believe it or not, child, our world is under mortal coveting. Unless we have more power, we can protect what we want to protect. ”

Ymir closed his mouth and said half-loudly: "Oh, please, the end of the century and the millennium have long passed, and 2012 has not yet arrived." I mean, Father, how can there be so many apocalypse, where does the apocalypse begin? ”

"New York, USA, where we are now!" What Father Terence said was categorical, and Ymir couldn't believe it.

Ymir was stunned for a moment, with a strange expression on his face, and smiled wordlessly: "Is it like what is said in the Book of Revelation?" Michael blows the trumpet of doom, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse come from the sea, bringing war, pestilence, famine, death, and the final judgment? ”

Shaking his head, Father Terrance sighed, "Of course not, how could a merciful Lord abandon his people. The catastrophe does not come from heaven, but from the prying eyes of the evil gods, not the end of the century, but the day of destruction. ”

"Evil gods?" Ymir stretched and said very frankly: "Father, what do you want to tell me, can't it be a gimmick like the glory of angels is about to come to the world, leading us to defeat the evil gods, and then the church will rise again?" ”

"Angels are real, and so are gods." Father Terrance said.

Ymir didn't have any doubts about this, he remembered the appearance of Thor in "The Avengers". And he also had reason to suspect that the one who lived in Magdalina's body was an angel from heaven.

He sighed, "I see, Father, but now that we are in the twenty-first century, the religious system has in fact been outdated for a long time. ”

Father Terrance shook his head, how could he not have noticed that there was a non-believer among the students he taught? How the hell did he get into seminary?

Poor Father Terrance, who had been so angry with Ymir that he had used his privilege to forcibly transfer Ymir from the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences to the seminary.

He coughed sternly and said, "Well, don't talk about theology? Okay, let's talk about science, kid, have you heard of the Einstein-Rosen Bridge theory? ”

Looking at Ymir's confused little white look, Father Terrance explained himself: "This is the wormhole theory proposed by Albert Einstein, which is simply a thin tube of space-time connecting distant regions of the universe. ”

"Hypothesized by Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen in the thirties of the twentieth century when they studied the gravitational field equations, connecting parallel worlds with the world we live in, and providing the possibility of time and space travel."

Ymir interjected, "It's just a hypothesis, right?" ”

After a moment of silence, Father Terrance stood up from the bench and stretched out his hand to say, "It has not been confirmed scientifically, but according to the records of our church, such a passage does exist. For example, the ritual of the arrival of angels, as well as the magic array that summons demons, are actually used to communicate with Lawson Bridge. And now, the door to a pluralistic world is about to open on Earth. ”

"In some theories, we can understand it this way." Father Terrance was worried that Ymir would not understand the theory, so he tried to keep his language as simple and direct as possible: "Our world is roughly located in the center of many star fields in the universe. In particular, the nine star fields connect our worlds to each other, and in mythology, we used to call it the World Tree, the Great World, and so on. ”

"Although the names are different, they actually refer to the same thing, and we can see it every day, but we don't realize it. In Europe, people used a super-large neutron collider to conduct experiments to forcibly penetrate the cosmic barrier to open a space rift, and this space crack is the passage to other star fields. ”

"God is an alien?" When Ymir heard about the Rosen Bridge and the Nine Star Fields, he felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard of it for a while.

"No, no, not aliens." Father Terrance shook his head again, and he pointed to the heavens: "The so-called star field is just a name, in fact, heaven and hell are dimensional spaces higher than the earth where we are located, and they are planes parallel to our world but in the same infinite universe. ”

The universe is infinitely vast and contains infinite planes, like a thick storybook. It contains many pages, each of which contains a story, and each page is a relatively opposed but interrelated dimensional world.

"And we are in such a world, and it is the world of the 'Atrium' that is of utmost importance. There are countless evil forces in the universe that are trying to claim our world for themselves, and they will do whatever it takes to do so. And now, the eyes of evil are focused on it. ”
