Phrygia region.

A small village on the Black Sea.

In the scorching summer, the sea breeze blows the small village, with a faint salty and wet smell, the small village is close to the coastline, and the soft sand on the beach is paved with golden mats, and the blue sea and blue sky are connected in the distance. The gently surging waves, accompanied by the sound and spray of the waves, seem to welcome every visitor.

The houses in the village are built on the hill and are made of local stones, giving it a quaint and natural look.

These old houses are scattered along the coastline, and lush vegetation and flowers bloom in front of and behind the houses, adding a touch of life and color to the village.

A blonde, golden-eyed visitor wearing a straw hat appears in a light-colored cotton shirt with a slightly open neckline to reveal a strong collarbone and a healthy complexion of the sun. Under his shirt he wore a pair of slim-fitting dark jeans to accentuate his tall and well-proportioned figure and toned lines, he stepped on a pair of comfortable leather sandals, and on his left wrist, he wore a watch with unusual delicacy.

The handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes exudes a sense of confidence and affinity, and in the place "invisible" to others, a small figure like a keychain sits on his shoulder, while the watch on his left hand is glowing orange.

[LOG BEGINS]

Date: [1590.9.5.]

Location: [Phrygia - Krasnodar Province - Sea Breeze Village]

Investigator: [Honkai Authority Investigator - Hugh Abraham]

Objectives:

[Investigate the fluctuations of the gods (living gods) that appear in the territory of the Yuyang Alliance, and the main duty is to suppress any possible signs of collapse-]

With Xia Xiu's authorization, [Adam] was conducting a record investigation, and he was holding a coconut with a straw in his hand, wandering around like a tourist on vacation.

"Abraham, bring the coconut a little closer."

The "purple figure" sitting on Xia Xiu's shoulder stretched out his small hand, pulled the hair under the blonde young man's straw hat, and motioned for the other party to lift the coconut a little higher.

"Don't just eat it, how about it, do you smell a little divinity?" Xia Xiu glanced at the greedy [Hope], and then raised the coconut in his hand so that the other party could reach the straw.

"I'm not Gamm." After sucking the coconut water, he replied to the blonde youth on the side with a puffed face.

"I've put Garmu in the Authority as a special operator, and even if Jam comes, his nose won't smell any divinity." Xia Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.

He released [Hope] in order to rely on the characteristics of the other party [the apostle of the world] to find clues of divinity.

Three days ago, after handing over the information he got to the intelligence officer of the Great Injustice, Xia Xiu had been waiting for the other party to work overtime to integrate all the information.

Pansy Jane needs to be responsible for cooperating with [Adam] to integrate any information that Xia Xiu needs, and the Authority has [Adam], who is absolutely rational and has access to the database of the Kingdom of Heaven, so it is reasonable to not need the position of intelligence officer, but [Adam] is different from Eden, it does not have access to the [Aether Ocean], which means that it needs some "external brains" to deal with some supernatural phenomena.

The position of intelligence officer is more like an "intuitionist", and intuitive-dependent are usually able to make quick decisions because they don't need to spend a lot of time gathering and analyzing information. However, this approach has its drawbacks, as intuition is not always correct, and sometimes wrong decisions can be made due to a lack of sufficient information or analysis, which is complementary to [Adam].

[Adam] needed a highly spiritual intelligence officer to connect to the Aether and gain terrifying intuitive dependence, and in the context of the existence of the strange forces of the Aether, intuitive dependence and spiritual foreknowledge are often more accurate than purely rational analysis.

According to Xia Xiu's own observation and copying of the human portrait through [Future Vision], he detected through the database that the other party had been active in the Phrygian region, and Pansy Jane used the special equipment of the Authority to amplify his spirituality, and stayed up in the database for three days, and finally deduced the specific location of the relevant personnel in three days - [Sea Breeze Village].

Xia Xiu still remembered Pansy Jane's embarrassed appearance in his mind, her hair was messy, her eyes were red and swollen, her eyes looked loose and weak, and her originally beautiful face was covered by exhaustion and traces of staying up late.

Social animals are so miserable!

Just when Xia Xiu was thinking about giving less needs to his subordinates in the future, [Hope's] small and delicate nose wrinkled slightly, and the two smart amethyst eyes subconsciously looked at a corner of [Sea Breeze Village], where she did sense a somewhat familiar mythological fluctuation.

"Hey, it really seems to have a very strong smell, this smell is a bit like the big thing made of storms on Jupiter, but it's not exactly like it, and it makes me feel even more... Reason? "[Hope] said with some uncertainty.

The traces left by the stars in Terra in the past...

After listening to what [Hope] said, Xia Xiu subconsciously thought in his mind.

Now that the stars are starting to return to their places, the traces of their past, and their followers will begin to recover, and together they will do their part in the collapse of Terra.

"Show me the way, I'll go over there and have a look."

Xia Xiu stretched out his hand and pressed the straw hat on his head, and then [Presence Mimusu] completely smeared it around him, what he was going to do next might desecrate some customs of this village, for the sake of unnecessary trouble, he decided to do it first, and then pat his ass and leave after solving the problem, leaving absolutely no cloud here.

Guided by [hope], begin to move towards your destination.

Soon, he was in the ruins and altars of a remote corner of the village, surrounded by a yellow cordon.

Xia Xiu crossed the cordon straight, ignored the capitalized "No Entry" on the wooden board nailed to the ground, and walked in the direction of the ruins and the altar.

As he approached the altar, Xia Xiu stopped, and [Hope], who was sitting on his shoulder, involuntarily showed a slight disgust, because an indescribable nausea suddenly began to emerge from his surroundings.

A strange scream suddenly sounded, like a ghost.

Then, everything around them begins to distort, and a terrifying and bloody scene appears in front of them, and a gruesome scene is unfolding.

The sight of the ruins was gone, replaced by a pitch-black farmhouse, shrouded in darkness by the figure of a swineherd, dressed in ragged robes and with a hideous face like a devil.

The swineherd walked towards the livestock pen of the farmhouse, and the panicked neighing of the cattle and sheep seemed to feel the breath of death.

Armed with a butcher's knife, he approached an innocent lamb step by step.

The lamb felt the coming of death, and it trembled, its eyes filled with fear and helplessness. However, the swineherd ignored these eyes, and he just basked in the maddening pleasure.

A terrible scream rang out, and the bloody slaughter began.

The swineherd slashed the lamb's throat with his sharp butcher's knife, and blood gushed out like a fountain all over his body. However, he seems to be unconcerned about any of this, instead admiring the cruelty of the image.

The other animals in the livestock pen let out a terrible scream when they saw this.

The swineherd became even more furious and excited, and he slaughtered the animals one by one with a butcher's knife, smiling and enjoying the pain and fear they bringed. The smell of blood permeated the entire livestock pen, and the smell of death was suffocating.

Soon, the flesh in the livestock pen was blurred, the corpses were strewn around, and the swineherd breathed in the blood contentedly, as if he had become the Grim Reaper, ruling this bloody hell.

The smiling swineherd raised her bright red eyes and looked madly at the last prey.

"The aberration is repeated, and there is a little divine pollution..."

In the blood-colored pile of corpses, the blonde youth muttered calmly, and an illusory figure began to emerge from behind him.

Dressed in a gleaming white robe, with mystical symbols and motifs hanging from his chest, he wears a radiant crown on his head, a great sword burning with divine flame in his right hand, a red book in his left hand, and three pairs of holy light wings that emit pure light particles spread out behind his back.

[Metatron Benchmark Form——]

Under the swineherd's dull gaze, Metatron raised his greatsword, and the Book of Holiness sent a burst of light, and then a circle appeared on the greatsword, consisting of 13 circles of equal size, which were connected to each other by a series of straight lines. Each circle is connected to all the others, forming a seemingly chaotic but well-organized pattern.

[Lord of Light: Metatron's Cube-]

Thirteen ring-shaped circles of complex geometry were wound around the greatsword.

"Four Orthodox Fire—"

The blonde noble angel slashed the flaming greatsword, and the sword body bloomed with dazzling platinum light, illuminating the entire social animal pen. Holy flames gushed from the tip of the sword, like a holy flame purifying all evil.

The swineherd looked at the scene in front of him in horror, and his eyes were about to split.

When the Holy Flame touched the earth, a shockwave of immense magnificence spread rapidly.

Boom –

Terrifying energy surged, countless ghosts and ghosts turned into nothingness under the flames, and all evil was torn apart in this instant, and the flames spread, covering the entire land almost instantly.

All hostility, darkness, corruption, quickly vanishes in the light of holiness, which mercilessly devours all decay and evil, and reduces all filth to ashes.

The flame of holiness burns away all darkness, leaving only the divine light. It burns in the air, dyeing the entire sky a dazzling white-gold.

Under the flames, the world is purified again and radiates with endless brilliance.

Click-

The whole distorted picture finally collapsed overwhelmingly, and Xia Xiu soon returned to the original ruins, [Metatron] stood quietly behind him, and the altar in front of him began to crack inexplicably.

"This is the Phrygian who created the plague virus, a fragment of divine contamination, that's it?"

The blonde young man rubbed his chin and whispered to himself, feeling bored for a while.

He has already passed the kind of "big early stage" that needs to be deciphered layer by layer and pull sponsorship everywhere, and now he is the fourth sword-wielder of the heavenly kingdom, the [Void Crown] of stage 3.5, and now he only pays attention to a vigorous and resolute work, and vigorously produces miracles.

Xia Xiu came to the cracked altar, and around the altar, a strange and strange symbol was depicted, which seemed to be a unique language model.

【Kubeleya】

【ττι (Attis)】

"[Adam], scan the above text and parse the text."

He raised his watch to the words on the altar, and soon two rays of light appeared on the watch, and he began to scan the words on the altar up and down.

[Dripping-]

[Scanned ready!] ]

[This is in Old Phrygian, the following is the translated text:

Artis, the son and lover of the Great Mother Goddess. It often appears as a beautiful man. When the goddess was born, she had both sexes and sexes, and she cut off her male roots to become the goddess, and the severed male roots fell to the earth and became an apricot tree, and the seeds of the apricot tree entered the body of Lana, the daughter of the river god, and gave birth to the child Attis.

Later, the Great Mother Goddess fell in love with the young and handsome god of agriculture, Artis, and he became the lover and lover of the Great Mother Goddess.

But soon after, Attis turned his back on Kubler and fell in love with a mortal maiden, and when they were married, Kübler suddenly appeared, and in a fit of rage, he drove all the people who attended the wedding crazy, and Artis was not spared, and ran to the mountains alone and castrated himself to death. ]

After reading the text, Xia Xiu rubbed his eyebrows with a little headache.

"It seems that it is not only the stars, but also the surviving gods, and the Phrygian who created the plague will not be the ancient [eunuch], the sacrifice of the [Great Mother Goddess]."

[Based on available information, this probability is as high as 93.97%-]

"Come on, I can even guess the motive of that guy for creating the plague now, and I have the same virtue as the Piercing Prince, and I want to cooperate with the stars and resurrect my own gods; Tsk, they can't weigh their catties, and even if they want to find it, they can't go to the starry sky like the [Master of the Gate], which is relatively easy to deal with·····"

[Dripping-]

[Wall of Sighs: has intercepted a vicious peep for you-]

The stars have begun to return to their positions, their mythological factors have entered an active period, and any word about them now will cause fluctuations in the starry sky.

"I'm pretty familiar with him." The blonde youth whispered.

A while ago, he sent a big gift package to the complex of the [Master of the Gate], and his name must have been on the list of apostles now, so it's just like that if you don't peep at it.

Xia Xiu looked at the center of the ruined altar.

There, there is an entrance to a cavern that is imprisoned by dense chains.
