Extraordinary pedigree

Edici Federal New York

Lawrence Livermore stood atop the Statue of Liberty, his assistant Winston traveling through the ether to his side.

Winston held a glass of iced Americano in his hand. He handed the iced Americano to Livermore, who took the iced Americano, took a sip, then looked at the rising sun and said to Winston:

"[Equivalent exchange], this is an undoubted extraordinary iron rule. It can make the weak become strong, and the rotten become immortal. At the same time, it is also the most basic law of exchange in finance. Winston, when I was a child, I was on the financial street of New York. When I was running errands, I was very interested in the constantly changing data on the trading board. I spent 5 hours a day from Monday to Friday and 2 hours a day on Saturday. All I thought about was: the numbers kept changing!"

"Why does it change? And why can't people in the stock market run away? Why do they lose money? Is it because of the push of funds and the combined force of people's collective actions? Maybe.

Outsiders always wonder why people in the stock market don't pay attention to the reasons?

If they have been immersed here for a long time, they will understand that stocks are ahead of the macro, and chips are ahead of policies. Regardless of the reason, as long as they have placed their bets, will they still run? "

“If you want to make the leap from high-roller to professional trader, you need to understand one thing: the market is always right.

The market evolves along the line of least resistance, which is the trend; the general trend of the overall market determines the trend of stock evolution, and real profits come from the overall market trend, not the short-term fluctuations of individual stocks. "

Winston was hunched over as always, staying silently beside Livermore, while Livermore was looking at the financial streets below.

It's still dark, but a large crowd of investors has gathered around the exchange on the narrow streets of New York's Manhattan.

Their expressions were tense, and their eyes revealed their uneasiness about the future.

The Edici stock market has been falling continuously in the past few days, causing people to fall into extreme panic and anxiety.

Finally, the door of the exchange slowly opened, bringing a new day of trading. Investors eagerly poured into the trading floor, hoping to understand the latest market conditions and seek possible ways out.

However, what they saw made everyone gasp.

"Anyone who bought stocks in the middle of 1590 and held them would have had to wait out most of his life before he could make back his losses."

Livermore looked at the desperate crowd and sneered:

“The Roaring Twenties, which belonged to Edici and Colombia, are over.

In the past, the essence of the Roaring Twenties could be described as a somewhat incongruous combination of Terran modernism and iconoclasm. Here, modern thaumaturgy theory and modern science seem to be able to make everything possible, the potential for economic and technological development seems infinite, and everyone is in a completely new and completely different era.

New technologies, especially genealogy, aether engines, automobiles, movies, and radio, brought "modernity" to a large portion of the population. The principle of pragmatism allows all unnecessary redundant decoration to be removed, whether in the field of architecture or in daily life. "

"Look, what a magnificent bubble [Financial Street] has created. Look at our dear Edici people - the hot speculation is intertwined. Thousands of people spend money buying stocks and [Extraordinary Assets], many speculators use financial leverage to buy more stocks.

Now, the amount of stock brokers' daily loans to small investors is equivalent to more than two-thirds of the market value of the stock market. The total loan amount on the market exceeds 85 trillion US dollars, which is more than the total amount of currency and [extraordinary assets] currently in circulation in Edici. More. The rise in stock prices attracted more people to invest in stocks. At the same time, investors expected that stock prices would continue to rise, further pushing up stock prices due to speculative trading, thus forming this magnificent economic bubble. "

"You saw it. Everyone saw the dramatic changes in the Kingdom of Heaven. This means that the maintainer of the bubble retracted his hand."

"Now, the bubble is about to burst!"

Livermore looked at the sky and opened his arms.

“The Great Depression is coming!”

"[Financial Street] is about to face a devastating blow. However, this does not mean a disaster, but an opportunity. It is an opportunity for Colombia to take another step forward. We will break free from the shackles of the Kingdom of Heaven, and what will greet us is greater freedom. market!"

Manhattan's financial streets.

All stock exchanges were in turmoil as investors dumped their stocks, causing share prices to fall sharply.

Dramatic changes in the kingdom of heaven, war in the starry sky of [Crystal Sky].

They triggered the Edici Transcendence Panic, which led to massive and vicious runs.

The curtain is the foundation of order. Because of the existence of the curtain, many extraordinary beings are willing to interact with their great power and [Financial Street]. This interaction forms various chains.

But now, there is weakness in the Kingdom of Heaven, and the front end of the chain begins to withdraw its assets, and then the entire chain begins to collapse.

[Financial Street] has gathered a large amount of [extraordinary assets], and at the same time, it has issued a large amount of [assets] to others.

The fundamental problem now is that [Financial Street] cannot produce so many [extraordinary assets]. [Extraordinary assets] are not real currency, and they cannot be printed if you want. Moreover, even if they are real currency, you can print them if you want. Currency and inflation should also be considered.

Earlier, [the subprime mortgage crisis] was already a sign of the bubble bursting, but now, the excess problem has completely inflated the bubble.

In the final analysis, the dramatic changes in the Kingdom of Heaven and the war in the starry sky were just the triggers, and the most important fundamental reason was the push behind the Four Monarchs and the Red King.

Yes, [Financial Street] even dares to do their business.

Now, they want [Financial Street] to spit out the money with interest.

At this moment, twelve [Edit West Federal Reserve Banks] began to contain the collapse of the market, and circuit breakers were triggered in various countries.

In Edici's financial phase space, twelve giants began to mend the hub of New York to prevent the impact and distortion of [Financial Street] from spreading to the real world.

The bubble has burst, and the Edici federal government feels it can still hold on to its head.

However, some unexpected things always happen.

Livermore looked at the pocket watch in his hand and said with a smile:

"Now, the Oletin Empire is expected to have completed its centralization of power, and the Daevite Empire should also suppress the revolution; the news of the alliance between the two countries and launching a full-scale war should reach here. At the same time, Edici was attacked in Oletin's [Mobile City] The news of the death has probably also reached..."

Rumble——

In the sky above New York, the heavenly space-based stabilizing anchor originally used to maintain the curtain was directly overwhelmed by the huge ether tide.

The gears of fate began to turn.

The projection of [Financial Street] appeared directly in the eyes of everyone in Edici, and immediately after, a terrifying mutation occurred.

An irresistible force suddenly descended on New York, sweeping through the city like a violent storm.

Lightning flashed across the night sky, followed by a thunderous roar, and a huge crack fell from the sky, tearing the New York skyline apart.

Manhattan's skyscrapers trembled, and the tall buildings roared in the wind, as if they were struggling to resist the coming catastrophe.

The Empire State Building, once an unattainable symbol, is as fragile as glass at this moment. Cracks spread from the top to the bottom of the building. The towering giant was easily torn apart like a toy under the raging storm. The glass curtain wall on the high-rise building shattered, like thousands of diamonds shining in the dark night, and then fell down, like a meteor shower that lost its life, falling into the abyss with broken memories.

The skyscrapers of the financial streets also collapsed in the face of irresistible forces.

High-rise buildings trembled in the storm, skyscrapers collapsed one after another, and smoke and dust filled the air, as if it was the end of the world. A long history was buried at this moment, and countless efforts and hard work were annihilated in the torrent of destruction.

The Statue of Liberty, once a symbol of freedom and hope, is not immune at this moment. The torch she held high was swaying in the strong wind, about to leave. The goddess of liberty looks so fragile in the storm, as if the freedom and hope of the world are disintegrating.

The streets instantly turned into a chaotic battlefield.

Ruins and rubble covered the streets, and screams resounded throughout the sky. People ran in terror, escaping from the collapsing high-rise buildings. Buildings were dismantled like toy blocks, collapsing downwards like a tide, and the whole city fell into despair. and the brink of destruction.

The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and lightning crackled like the wrath of the gods surging through New York City.

Heavy rain poured down, drowning all hope and plunging people into endless darkness.

At this moment, a towering giant appeared, more than five hundred meters high.

The giant's face wears a mask, which is made of metal and has a curved shape that completely covers Loki's head, including forehead, eyes and chin. There are many complex patterns and decorations on the mask, depicting strange symbols and geometric shapes, giving people a mysterious and absurd feeling.

There is an elegant black halo behind the giant, and inside the halo, there are overlapping small rings of dark red, red and olive green.

[Loki] stood in the collapsed New York. Then, he gave all New York citizens a [Supernatural Insurance]. He never made a loss-making business. This money was not only for New York. The insurance for the citizens of York is also insurance for himself. He binds himself to the lives of many citizens.

"New York will become the trading hub of all worlds. It will break away from the present world and become the connection point between other worlds and the human world!"

[Loki] stretched out his hands, and a small sapling appeared in his hands.

The moment this sapling appeared, it began to grow vigorously, and the four halos behind [Loki] also began to light up.

Inside the giant, Livermore held up the miraculous creation of the Edici Federation—[The Staff of Hermes]!

[The Staff of Hermes·Forced Transaction! 】

"Great Miracle·Equivalent Exchange!" 』

On the distant San Miguel Island, the World Tree that was engaged in a fierce battle with [Jörmungandr] suddenly began to slump, and then it began to gradually shrink, while on the other side, [Loki]'s above-mentioned sapling grew longer and longer. The higher.

The sapling took root in the broken earth of New York and continued to grow.

After Lawrenceton Livermore founded the Mayflower Foundation, he found two World Trees under the guidance of the Red King. At the same time, it reached a non-alliance but alliance with the think tank of [Financial Street].

Yes, this tree is plundering everything from the World Tree on San Miguel Island, and it is devouring each other.

Boom! ! !

Soon, the World Tree in the New York area had surpassed the height of [Loki], with nine world nodes, and those were nine fruits.

As a ripened world tree, it has skipped all the links. Even the only god that protects it cannot be transferred here because of the existence of [Jormungandr].

[Loki] stretched out his hand, picked nine fruits, and swallowed nine worlds.

As the fruit was swallowed, its body began to expand continuously, and its huge power penetrated the seven levels of ether, and it impacted [miracle] at this moment.

On the other side, as the nine fruits were devoured, the ripened World Tree in New York stopped growing and began to collapse directly, while Livermore, who was attacking [Miracle], directly took [Hermes' Tree] Staff] is inserted into the inside of the World Tree, as the cane is inserted.

[Financial Street Think Tank·Hermes] was directly loaded into the World Tree, and then devoured everything in it and grew crazily.

The think tank of [Financial Street] directly burned countless [assets] to complete the growth of this world, and with its actions, the [Financial Street] projections of various countries began to collapse.

The terrifying ether tide began to continuously impact and tear apart the barriers of the present world. Many people in the present world could see the distorted changes in the sky.

At first, a faint light spread across the starry sky, as if illusory scrolls were unfolding.

Then the sky began to tremble, forming strange ripples and ripples.

The stars began to appear, their outlines distorted, their light becoming unstable, as if trembling at the edge of the world.

[The collapse of [Financial Street] is detected, forced salvation is triggered, and [Scroll of Atonement] begins to be released——]

Suddenly, a bright light flashed, and the entire twisted starry sky was completely torn apart.

Then everything returned to normal.

In the New York area, the "World Tree" at this time has exceeded one thousand meters. No, it should not be called the World Tree now, it should be called the living god - [Hermes].

The city once known as New York completely collapsed in just one day, and was replaced by the connection point between the other world and Terra - [City of the New World].

Along with the new world, there is a unique [beast]. He walked out of the soil, stood on the land of the new world, and shouted loudly to the sky:

"Roar--"

“And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, having two horns like a lamb, and speaking like a dragon. 』

When the new world was completely born, Livermore, who landed on [Miracle], stood on [Hermes] and looked up at the sky.

There, the roaring [Jörmungandr] tore apart the space and rushed here. The single space-based weapon representing the sword-wielding man in heaven was aimed at here, and countless angels were projected from orbit.

On the other side, twelve [Financial Behemoths] tore through the ether and came to [New World City]. They guarded [Hermes] and looked at the troops of the Kingdom of Heaven.

"The war between the Oletin Empire and the Daeva Empire involves the main body of the Kingdom of Heaven and the first sword holder..."

Livermore looked at the sky and smiled.

He knew that this would be a negotiation between Edici and the Kingdom of Heaven, not a war.

[Crimson King], you really played a big game of chess.

[Crisis Sequence: Financial Street]

==Access requires [Level 3-Cherubim] permission==

Number: 0-01 (number 0-01 is a special number, there are multiple identical numbers, and the number is never fixed)

Command Level: Red (This level of anomaly is generally associated with an apocalyptic threat (to humans) or some similar type of crisis, which usually cannot be contained.)

Task type: Management.

Responsible: Eden, [Supremacy Process], Resolution Assembly.

The following is a description of [Financial Street]:

[In fact, it is not as simple as an extraordinary aggregation. Its fundamental existence is based on the future of people in reality. When [extraordinary assets] are insufficient, it will overdraw the "future" of mankind.

The Financial Street cannot be destroyed because it was born from the human collective. It is our creation and a manifestation of the thirst and greed of the human soul. [Financial Beast] is one of the manifestations of this distortion.

Go in and out of [Financial Street], mortgage your future, get your first asset, and then you have to trade every week.

The impact of Financial Street is as follows:

1: After the transaction is completed, the increase or decrease in assets will be reflected in the current individual. When assets return to zero, they become bankrupt, and people in this world will be desperate and eventually die, because there is no future left to speak of (it cannot be stopped, and it will move towards "death" irresistibly. It will gradually and completely swallow up the concept of existence) .

Two: The scope of the impact is not just individuals. Once a person is completely erased from the financial street, it will lead to [cognitive crisis] and [logical paradox], both of which will breed a large number of Meme viruses that destroy human consciousness.

Three: When the extent of the collapse is large enough, its impact will affect humanity as a whole and even Terra as a whole. The shock wave generated after the collapse of the financial street will strongly affect other financial streets that are still operating. While causing losses, it will also affect the situation in the real world. The closer the distance, the greater the impact.

Four: There are cyclical economic crises, accumulation crises, environmental distortion crises, social crises, cognitive crises, and logical crises...]

Appendix 01:

Caribbean Republic: With the collapse of the regional financial street, the fictional country "Caribbean Republic" that existed in the Caribbean, which was still land at the time, also disappeared {related information expand+}.

The Twenty-Four Countries of Oaxaca: With the collapse of the regional financial street, the Twenty-Four Countries were swallowed up to only sixteen countries remaining {Related information expand+}.

Appendix 02:

Edici Federation - [Future Redemption Rights].

As the birthplace of the financial street, Edici has the right of redemption in the future, so they dare to develop the financial street unscrupulously. Those losers in Edici were given the qualification to play the game "one more time" {related information expand+}.

Appendix 03:

The financial beast that brings about collapse: When the beast with two horns like a lamb and a voice like a dragon appears, he will look to all worlds and he will devour everything.

[Special countermeasures]:

The current measures taken against [Financial Street] are to control it by any necessary means. To this end, Eden reserves a large number of [Atonement Scrolls] and at the same time negotiates with Edici to obtain [Future Redemption Rights].

When [Financial Street] undergoes a large-scale collapse, the Kingdom of Heaven will redeem the future of mankind.

Special response measures: [Ninety-five Theses]/[Debt Collectors Plan]

Once [the Atonement Scroll] is promulgated and enters the market, it will inevitably be hoarded in large quantities.

Creatures who hold the [Scroll of Atonement] will be granted the right to pardon to circumvent the control of the Veil. The [Ninety-five Theses] is an extraordinary code of phased restrictions and cannot cure the root problem.

When [Financial Street] is stabilized, the Kingdom of Heaven must forcefully requisition all [Atonement Volumes], no matter what means are used!

[Should we give up the future and save the present, or should we sacrifice the present and choose to have an endless future? 】

It is estimated that I will be able to completely turn over the chapter tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and will soon enter the next volume.
