"The power of atmospheric magic is being measured...... The test result is the concentration value of the gods.,Move forward carefully and carefully, Master—ah, sorry, I mean, Mr. Red. ”

Matthew, who realized that he had slipped his tongue, blushed to the base of his ears, but Red didn't seem to care about her, but looked thoughtfully at the scenery in front of him.

Now that they have landed on the outskirts of the Olympus metropolitan area, they can see the near-future sci-fi style white city in front of them, and it seems that the level of technological development here has far surpassed the DC universe and pan-human history in 2023.

In the sky, the majestic Olympia Dodona can be clearly seen, surrounded by the crown of Kronos, which is like a satellite, which is proof that Zeus once defeated the second god-king Kronus to seize his power.

Above the Great Temple of Orbit was the glittering Crystal Mountains, where Red could sense the magical energy that was highly compressed to the entity, and I am afraid that in terms of energy storage, only the O'a Star Green Light Central Energy Battery of the DC Universe could match it.

None of that mattered, though, and what caught Red's attention the most was the giant plant that shone white and spiraled and expanded at the top of the Interstellar Mountains.

"This is Magellan, the utopian tree that has grown completely...... It has been calculated that it may have the ability to distort reality and illusion - it's hard to imagine how we would have survived if we had been in this Persona Belt under normal circumstances. ”

Little Da Vinci stole a sneak glance at Red and asked tentatively.

"There will always be ways – but those solutions don't make sense anymore, and now it seems that things are very different...... In any case, now I can only rely on my own strength. ”

According to the original plot development, when the Chaldeans raided the fifth Persona Zone, they would encounter the help of more than 20 pan-human history followers, including the crown servant, and half of them died to help them break through the sea; The rest came to Olympus, ready to defeat Zeus.

But as Red said, this prerequisite no longer exists, and due to the defection of some Pan-Anthropomorphic Followers under the influence of Mera, none of the Followers have reached Olympus ahead of schedule...... And that's probably not all.

"Alright, it's almost time for everyone to get used to the concentration of mana here, so let's head in the direction of the city - remember, our goal now is not to raid the Persona Zone, so if you can, try to minimize the conflict with the natives, after all, there is only one high-priority mission-"

"Find Diana and exchange her for information on the Chaldean Lord Fujimaru Rika."

——

"Mr. Red, I think we still need to prepare a camouflage costume, or...... Wouldn't it be better to at least find a relatively hidden route? ”

To Matthew, who was a little uneasy, Red said leisurely.

"Don't worry, Matthew, it's the most efficient way to do it—and it's not hidden anywhere, and in this city, it's probably under Zeus's surveillance at all times."

"But, but ......"

Under Red's leadership, he and the three female servants swaggered down the streets of Persona City, with no intention of hiding their whereabouts.

Due to their apparently special costumes, they soon attracted onlookers and discussions among the aborigines of this anecdotal belt.

"Zeus, the Almighty God....... Are they the invaders of Olympus......"

"Was it one of them who fought with Lord Zeus just now?"

"It may be a bit blasphemous, but if I'm not mistaken, they should at least be tied with Zeus, the Almighty God......"

"How can it be a draw, the Almighty God Zeus must not have used all his strength."

"But even so, being able to fight a true machine god unscathed in a mortal body is a miracle that only a god can do."

Although they attracted everyone's attention, no one stopped them, perhaps because of the strong strength that Red showed in the battle with Zeus just now, so that they projected part of their worship of Zeus onto Red, who could compete with Zeus.

"Anyway, it's a good thing that there is no conflict with the original inhabitants here, because of the magic power of these ordinary people...... It is already at the level of a servant, and judging from the development of civilization, this Strange News Belt is even more developed than that of Great Qin. ”

Little Leonardo da Vinci looked curiously at the people and buildings around him, while quickly analyzing all kinds of information.

But unlike Matthew and Little Da Vinci, Francis Drake, who was next to Red, looked around her with a more and more solemn face.

"What's the matter, Drake, is it because it's uncomfortable here? Or was he accidentally injured by Zeus Thunder when he was on the Golden Deer just now? ”

Red was keenly aware of Drake's unpleasantness, and the latter shook his head lightly at Red's words.

"No, I don't think it's right for me...... Taste. Although these people seem to be very happy, they always feel ...... It's like stagnation, like sailing in a pool of water that doesn't flow – of course, it's probably just my delusion......"

Sure enough, Drake was the first to discover the anomaly here, and as a Star Pioneer and a navigator, she should be the most unbearable of this Persona state.

Red smiled and said meaningfully as he looked at the crowd of men and women, as well as the immaculate buildings around them.

"It's not your delusion, Drake. You're right, the very fact that this world has been cut as an Persona Tape is a sign that it has a serious problem - the world can't move forward. ”

Persona is the concept of the FAtE universe, just as there is competition in living things, and history has winners and losers, and the history based on the right choice and the right prosperity of the victor will be called pan-human history; The history of losers based on wrong choices and false prosperity, which is considered to be the history of mankind that has reached a dead end, will be called the Persona Belt.

The conflict between the Persona Zone and Pan-Human History is different from the parallel world, because the Persona Zone is judged to have "no development potential" and is an "unwanted thing", which will be cut directly and interrupt the development of the universe - this is much more cruel than the situation where the DC universe can coexist in countless parallel universes.

The subject of the judgment is not the degree of development but the development potential, which means that even if the civilization in the Persona Belt is extremely developed, if it does not have the potential to continue to develop, it will be considered a wrong history.

It's like this interstellar mountain city.

It seems to be extremely peaceful, and under the authority of Zeus, who acts as the authority of the gods, there will hardly be war here; Thanks to the power of Demeter, the goddess of the earth, famine and disease will not arise here; Thanks to the power of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, everyone here will be extremely rich even spiritually.

It's literally an ideal hometown and utopia, similar to the paradise island of the DC universe.

But that's why it's considered a false history and cut as an Persona Zone.

Because of the long-term peace, everyone has lost the desire and thought of competition, and like a reed, there will be no idea of striving for progress.

Due to the long life, everyone has lost the desire and necessity to reproduce, after all, since they can achieve immortality, there is no need to expand the population and pass it on to future generations.

The end result of this is that, as Drake said, the world is just a pool of stagnant water, and no matter how many thousands or tens of thousands of years pass, it will not continue to move forward.

Of course, these words were not spoken directly by Red, but were conveyed to Drake through the Lantern Ring, who nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, it is precisely because of the knowledge that you will die that you will feel oppressive about yourself, and thus have a clear purpose in life - if there is not even 'danger' itself, then the concept of risk does not exist."

Having said that, Red didn't interfere with the idea of this world, after all, he knew very well that this kind of heavenly world like Drake and Red might not be able to bear it, but the individuals living here don't necessarily want to change this situation.

Let go of the plot of helping others and respect the fate of others, this truth Red still understands.

"Okay, we're not here for a tour, let's go find Wonder Woman's location next......."

"Aren't you already able to locate her somehow?"

"No, it's not about the 'location,' it's about the act of 'finding.'"

While whispering through the Ring of Light and Drake, they had come to a magnificent building.

"Let's start here, this Olympus is really big, if you look for it aimlessly, it may be looking for a needle in a haystack."

"This is ......"

Matthew looked up, the building in front of him was very different from the near-futuristic buildings around him, and unlike the simple and uniform appearance of other buildings, it was supported by a large number of tall columns, and with the classical style sculptures, it was almost like ......

"This is a temple, a temple of dividing gods, to be exact, and that's where you usually pray to the gods, right?"

Red looked at the building in front of him with interest, then at a young girl in the crowd.

The girl who was suddenly accosted by Red looked a little panicked, but she replied nervously.

"Yes, yes, this is so that our voice can reach the ears of the gods, and the gods can hear clearly in the temple of the gods than in other places where they pray......"

Little Da Vinci approached Red curiously and said in a low voice.

"It's strange for me as a science student, but I think the principle of this device has something to do with faith...... If you are not religious, your prayers may not work. ”

Red nodded, he had the same opinion as Little Da Vinci.

"Indeed, after all, even if you are a true mecha, it is not easy to deal with all the prayers of the Temple of Distraction in every detail...... And it's probably like a message box, maybe they won't pay attention to it even if they pray. ”

Bang la blah.

As soon as Red's words fell, there was a lot of discontent in the surrounding crowd, and here in Olympus, Red's words can be said to be a big rebellion.

But they soon won't care about that.

Because what Red is going to do next is to do even more blasphemous.

"So if you want to see them, you should be pious enough to get their attention—"

As Red spoke, he saw the light ring in his hand flash, and the cracked Thor's hammer suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Or just tear it down and give them a little atheistic shock."

Although in this world where gods do exist, calling oneself atheistic is a bit too much.

Bang!

Before the others could react, under the blank gaze of everyone, Red lightly raised Thor's hammer above his head, and then slammed it on the ground in front of the Temple of Distraction.

Collapse the mountains and crack the ground!

Boom –

With the violent shaking of the earth and the deafening roar, countless cracks spread rapidly, starting with the landing of Mjörnir.

Then the scorching red light energy magma erupted, and although the Temple of Distraction had a building strength beyond the level of human technology, it still began to collapse rapidly in the raging hot lava.

"Nope! How dare you commit such ungodly acts! ”

Seeing this, several natives with the appearance of young men finally couldn't hold back their anger and rushed up, and at the same time, a dazzling white light fell from the sky and enveloped their bodies, turning them into burly warriors in golden armor and armed with blood-red swords.

Matthew hurriedly put on Ortenus' goggles and raised the giant shield in his hand.

"The arming of magic? The human body has such magical power, it is simply a servant...... No, it's from the above! ”

"I'm still only a reservist, but even so, I can still wrap myself in the steel ...... of the gods"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

However, before he could finish his words, after a loud gunshot, the Olympian soldier immediately flew upside down, causing another exclamation.

"Now that you've all taken out your weapons, this side can be regarded as legitimate defense."

I saw Francis Drake raise his musket with both hands and aim it at the Olympian soldiers, looking eager to try.

"If you are not afraid of death, come up - no, I should say that you are not afraid of pain, even if you can't die, but I promise to make you remember the pain that you can't forget until you die."

However, Drake's words obviously did not scare these Olympians, and seeing that there were more and more aborigines who turned into soldiers around him, little Da Vinci approached Red's side.

"I remember you reminded us to 'minimise conflict with the indigenous people,' right?"

"I've minimized conflict, but you see I've made sure that no one in this temple has done anything."

Red said with a shrug of his shoulders, looking at the distraction in front of him, which had become a burning ruin.

"And in terms of efficiency, blowing up half of the city when you enter this city is actually more in terms of results-"

"Please stop, Lord Zeus, although he agrees to let you go for the time being, provided that you do not harm the people of Olympus."

A gust of wind blew out the flames of the Temple of Distraction, and a figure emerged from the dust.

Red's eyes narrowed and he smiled in satisfaction.

"Still, it looks like I've achieved my goal."
