"It's ironic...... Now, all of a sudden, I began to hope that Shiva would survive, or at least that he could give science some trouble. ”

Magellan sat on the ornately patterned carpet and sighed softly as he watched the storm in the north.

"They've given up, and maybe it's because they're gods that they can see the power of science more clearly. The countess turned around with a smile, "Have you figured out how to deal with the demon king who destroyed the world?"

"I don't know what to do with that thing. ”

It was a very difficult sentence to understand, but Magellan knew that the countess could understand it.

Science is unique.

The birth of a god is the result of the combined action of two forces, the power of mortals to sculpt the origin of the world by faith to make it a god.

From the beginning, these two have determined everything about the gods: beastly instincts have caused the gods to fight each other and chase power, while human faith has always made them willing to protect humanity and bestow favors on these insignificant beings.

Stripped of the belief of man, the god becomes a social beast, vying for position with strength and destroying everything willfully and at will, and stripped of the instinctive side, the god becomes a strange mute, with no strength enough to support his physical existence, and can only go with the flow in the arguments of mortals.

And the latter, in fact, is exactly how science existed for most of the time when it was faithful to the Holy See.

But then, an unexplained "accident" happened.

At first, human beings worshipped powerful things that were visible to the naked eye, such as thunder, oceans, flames, and winds, but then, for some reason, people began to worship concepts.

In the eyes of most people, the concepts of space, time, light, and darkness should be more powerful and worthy of worship than the original gods, so the gods fell, and the ancient gods did not appear in their place.

This time, the faith of mankind won an absolute victory, and all the gods succumbed to their logic games: the old gods were thought to have lived in an earlier era, dying at the hands of the existing gods, so the old gods did not appear, and the gods disappeared one after another.

But the power of the world itself will not disappear, it originally appeared in the form of gods, and it will continue to be.

It's just that there weren't many alternatives at that time.

Science was the lucky one chosen in the end, and his success was a collection of absurd accidents, one of which accidentally became the state religion of the ancient Loren Empire, and the other was the choice of "the only true god" as his title.

No matter how much this unlikely event seems to be a forced fabrication by the author for the sake of the plot, in any case, science has truly become what he claims, "the only true God".

The god who is about to reshape the world is the combination of three powerful forces: the transcendent power that erupts from nature, the human quest for infallibility, and the first impetus and final solution to the end of philosophical logic.

These three determine everything about science.

For example, he had the power to create a Messiah: the power of nature, combined with the will of all people, to reshape both the world and humanity.

For example, he had the motivation to create a Messiah: human beings are pursuing a more suitable world for survival, and they are also pursuing their own sublimation.

And when Magellan wants to stop the science of destroying the world with the Messiah, he is confronted with such a trinity monster, with the majestic supernatural power of nature, blessed by countless believers, and even more terrifying, he is the only answer to the ultimate question of philosophy.

Even if Magellan had the confidence to destroy a world, he would not be able to stand up to the unity of all people, and even if Magellan could defeat the ignorant, he would not be able to distort logic and defeat concepts.

Magellan remembered the efforts he and the Countess had made to obtain this information, and his heart was filled with emotion, even if it was so difficult to see science, it would only take more to defeat him.

"We need allies," Magellan forced himself to completely forget what science is, how invincible he is, and instead focus on developing a battle plan, "which is the most effective means in the face of a formidable enemy." ”

"Science is the only true God, and only he himself can overcome him," the countess automatically entered the role of opponent, she had become accustomed to seeking answers with Magellan in this way, at least so far, quite effectively, "We have no allies. ”

"What about the three ways in which science is composed?"

Magellan sat cross-legged, straightened his back, and began to think seriously.

"The transcendent power of nature, we have seen too much, there is one kind of god, one kind of transcendent power, one kind of essence, science counts as the last one, in any case, he is not the only one. ”

"The beliefs of mankind, the unique relationship between gods and believers, have to be considered, but strictly speaking, I don't think that the shepherds of the Holy See, who are living well, want the destruction of the world, and besides, I know many people who have strong beliefs, but whose objects of faith are not scientific. ”

"The most troublesome thing is the ultimate answer of philosophy......"

Magellan stopped for the first time, but he eventually spoke.

"Now that we know how and when science was born, we can be sure that he was not the first driving force, and as for the ultimate answer, if we win, he is not. ”

"It's sophistry," laughed the countess, "but the first two are logical, but very important, how do you prove that this is a corollary, and not a guess?"

Magellan was silent for a moment.

"Why hasn't the Messiah begun yet?"

"How can you be sure that the Messiah did not begin?"

"What will the beginning of the Messiah look like?"

The countess was convinced that the two had finally found the really important clues, but at the same time she discovered that she lacked knowledge of the subject.

"We need a theologian, or a philologist, and that's a bit of a problem, because most of the best of them are in the Holy See. ”

Magellan let out a long sigh, then smiled wryly, "Did we really think about stopping the Messiah?"

The countess laughed too.

It was a ridiculous question, irresistibly funny, but it couldn't change the desperate reality in front of us.

The storm of death in the north is far away, but the breath of despair has not dissipated, and the poison has been completely destroyed by the selfishness of the High God and the resistance of mortals.

"Is this another Messiah?" Magellan looked at the golden light reflected from the wings of the giant bird in the darkness, like lightning, "the destruction of the old world and the birth of the new world, the war ...... that even the gods will fall"
