Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

4. Tiamat’s Call

Charlemagne took the mobile holy capital all the way down to the outskirts of the Persian Gulf.

Because the arrival of the Chaldean army stimulated the madness of God Tiamat and caused another wave of monsters to hit, most of the core army went to assist Chaldea, and the monster front in Uruk was temporarily Shaking like a boat in the rough waves, dozens of gaps were opened in the Great Wall of Warcraft Front.

However, as the Mobile Holy Capital, a mobile fortress, descended from the sky, the fortress-style Mobile Holy Capital itself became the new Great Wall. The Ming Dynasty elites led by Zhu Yuanzhang all attacked. Under the command of generals such as Qi Jiguang, Xu Da, and Li Dingguo, they even for a time Pushed back the tide of beasts.

Although they quickly retreated, it was out of consideration for shrinking the defense line.

The confrontation with the beast tide is actually meaningless. The main thing is to defend and delay.

Because Lu Mingfei was needed to deal with Tiamat next, after the Chaldean army joined forces with the local army of Uruk, the Human Salvation Army, the king of Uruk, who had the same level of clairvoyance as Solomon, Gilgamesh summoned Lu Mingfei and began to "popularize science" for Lu Mingfei non-stop.

Lu Mingfei looked at the dark circles under King Gilgamesh's eyes, which were as thick as pandas. He finally resisted and wanted to say to him, "Brother, why don't you go get some sleep? I feel like you You are going to die suddenly in front of me at any time, you don't want to have sex with me, do you?" The impulse.

I don’t know what this legendary ‘King of Heroes’ did before Chaldea came.

However, although Lu Mingfei held back and did not say anything, Gilgamesh obviously saw the meaning in Lu Mingfei's expression.

"It doesn't matter."

Before Lu Mingfei could say anything, he waved his hand.

"You don't have to worry about my sudden death."

"oh"

"Because I have died from overwork several times."

"Oh?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.

"As Wang said, it's not a big deal."

For some reason, Merlin stood beside the King of Heroes' throne, looking like a sage or prime minister, and said with a smile:

"This is the real age of myth. The essence of death is that the soul is attracted to the underworld. Before you came, the king's soul had been to the underworld several times. Siduli was shocked the first time, but Another Master of Chaldea, Mr. Fujimaru, has gone to the underworld to complete the attack on Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld. The goddess of the underworld is already our ally. As long as the faith of any deceased is strong enough and the body is not destroyed, Ereshkigal can be conquered. Leshkigal will turn a blind eye and send his soul back to the earth, which is resurrection."

Lu Mingfei looked at Gilgamesh carefully again.

Although he was not very familiar with him, this attitude still made him awe-inspiring. Even Liu Bowen, who came to discuss countermeasures, had similar thoughts: "The liver-explosion job is very similar to Emperor Hongwu."

Wu Chengen, who followed, also gave his own sharp comment: "This is like going to the underworld and checking the book of life and death."

Gilgamesh raised his hand, silently interrupting the thoughts of the people below, and went directly to the topic. It didn't matter if he went directly to the topic. Lu Mingfei was really afraid that he would die suddenly before he could finish speaking:

"First of all, I want to explain what is the biggest dilemma we face now with our enemies - Nyarlathotep and Hecate."

Lu Mingfei acted cooperatively, making Gilgamesh very satisfied. It would be better if the content of his next words were not so depressing.

"We can't get any external help. Before you came, after the explosion of the Digital World in your mouth, the people of the Thousand World Tree family fell to us. Under the leadership of Avis Bronn, the Thousand World Tree family With the help, the defense line has been fully strengthened - if you looked carefully before coming here, it shouldn't be difficult to find it."

Gilgamesh snapped his fingers, and a black-tech virtual projection screen of the ancient Sumerian dynasty appeared in front of Lu Mingfei. What was on the screen was the city wall of the Uruk Warcraft Defense Line.

"The initial city wall is a wall reinforced by magic, but it can only block the 'double' fake Tiamat and her tide of degraded beasts."

Another huge monster with a human head and a snake body appeared on the virtual projection screen. Lu Mingfei felt that the monster looked familiar.

"It's Medusa," Gilgamesh said. "More accurately, it's 'Gorgon'. However, after the knights led by Fujimaru arrived at the Uruk front, she successfully won over the other two people in this singularity. A goddess and a waste"

Three more women appeared on the virtual projection one after another. The first one looked like an older woman dressed in a South American style, and the next two were uh, the blonde version and the black-haired version of Taibai Jinxing?

Is Tohsaka Rin chosen as the object of the gods' possession again?

"Kukulkan, the Quetzalcoatl god of South America, Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, and Ishtar, the greedy waste."

King Gilgamesh seemed to be very malicious towards the black-haired Tohsaka Rin—Ishtar.

"Kukulkan is the most reliable, but in order to defeat the impostor Tiamat, she sacrificed roughly her average divinity, and now the power she can exert is limited - this is not her home ground."

The South American Quetzalcoatl was not present at the scene, but Lu Mingfei had seen her leading a group of pterosaurs with an awkward style in the air to shout to the Mobile Holy Capital Base when she landed.

King Gilgamesh continued: "Without paying any price other than Kukulkan, Fujimaru destroyed God Tiamat's counterfeit, but that was just the beginning. Hecate and Nyarlathotep used this to Taking the opportunity, we found the God Tiamat who was sealed in the Sea of ​​Imaginary Numbers in the past in the name of 'killing', and then opened the channel and put her on the earth."

"Originally, because of the help of the Crown Time Temple, we could temporarily ignore the threats from the direction of the universe, but a new front was opened again. The real God Tiamat as the power of the 'Beast of Humanity' 'counter-Genesis' After being liberated, the beast tide, which was far stronger than the counterfeiters, instantly destroyed our original Great Wall."

"This is also a helpless thing, because if you only look at the spiritual level of those 'new species of monsters', each one of them is enough to compete with the first-class servants. Although a servant of the same strength can fight against a group of them alone, but There are simply too many new species of monsters, and they are endless.”

"In the end, in order to buy time, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada sacrificed himself."

"Huh?" Lu Mingfei exclaimed subconsciously when he heard the unexpectedly familiar name.

Gilgamesh: "Is there a problem?"

"No, that's the name."

Merlin avoided Prelati who was approaching him with a smirk, came to Lu Mingfei, and explained to him with a smile: "The Amakusa Shirou Tokisada here is not the same person as the one you met before. La. Heroic spirits, that’s what heroic spirits are.”

King Gilgamesh looked calm, and the last scene of Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, who sacrificed his life for humanity, was played to everyone present.

As the city walls were overwhelmed by the new species of monsters endlessly bred by the rampaging Tiamat, even though the heroic spirits and Uruk soldiers fought for their lives, countless monsters still passed them and rushed towards the city. .

At the front of Uruk City, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who was dressed as a priest, resolutely cut off his hands after praying to the Lord, and took the initiative to let his hands be able to use magic. 'The superpower goes berserk!

The out-of-control supernatural power turned into a black hole of magic, swallowing up all the magic that Amakusa Shirou Tokisada himself and the magic that rushed towards the city.

"Because Amakusa bought time, Avisbron came up with emergency response measures, allowing a large number of mass-produced EVAs without combat effectiveness to stand up. They turned into new walls and finally blocked the new species of Warcraft. Tide of beasts.”

Lu Mingfei looked at the recorded video in front of him with complicated emotions.

"Sakura-chan, uh, Fujimaru came up with this idea, right?"

Gilgamesh nodded.

I knew it. Lu Mingfei whispered.

"Then comes the next point - we only have this fighting power. If you include the people brought by Chaldea, this is all our fighting power."

Gilgamesh's tone became more serious:

"We have tried many ways to find more power, such as summoning or finding the Argonauts, or Kirshtalia, who once shined in your Chaldean adventures. If we say who is the most likely If he could help us break the situation, Kirshtalia in the mythical age setting would be that person, but all methods are blocked.”

"Is the spiritual vein blocked? Although I don't understand this very well." Lu Mingfei looked at Liu Bowen, "Shengun, aren't you very good at Feng Shui? Then clear out the blockage here."

Liu Bowen looked at Lu Mingfei with complicated eyes: "Why do you think you are telling me to unblock the sewer? Old man, I don't care about your nonsense. I will just tell you the result: the spiritual veins here are not blocked. Everything is normal, and we cannot call for more reinforcements to reach this singular point. In other words, the real reason why this singular point is 'blocked' is probably because of the extraterritorial demon 'Hecate' in the sky."

"That's right." Gilgamesh sighed, and there seemed to be a trace of undetectable tiredness in his voice. "It's not that the method of summoning reinforcements was blocked, but that it was 'invalidated' by Heikati. Kati, the goddess of opportunity, her existence itself can trigger opportunities and draw strength from various changes in opportunities, but she can also in turn 'invalidate' all opportunities."

".Is there really no way to summon any help?"

Lu Mingfei asked subconsciously. But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt that what he said was too stupid. If there was still a way to do it, how could Sakura Girl's so wise and almost demonic mind not think of it?

"We can only use the cards in our hands to find ways to solve the problem - the problem before us is God Tiamat, but God Tiamat is not our real enemy. Her rampaging body was caused by Naiya The weapon controlled by Latotip, the real God Tiamat is trying his best to help us restrain our violent body."

Merlin shook his head.

"Even if we really kill the rampaging body of God Tiamat, there will still be Nyarlathotep oriole behind us. In fact, now that the earth is protected by the Crowned Temple of Time, Nyarlathotep cannot directly You can reach the ground from the universe, but you cannot come from the imaginary space, because the current passage in the imaginary space was caused by the rampage of God Tiamat——

In other words, the rampaging god Tiamat actually blocked Nyarlathotep's path. "

Liu Bowen added: "And even if we try our best to solve the problem of God Tiamat, it will only help Nyarlathotep clear the obstacles to invading the earth."

Roman, who was listening in, immediately realized the consequences: "If Nyarlathotep really invades the interior of the earth, then the Crown Time Temple and the human-protecting demon gods will no longer be able to keep things outside. !”

Dead end?

No.

"At this point, there is only one strategy, right?"

The person who interrupted the thinking of the Salvation Army think tank was Jin Gu, who had just taken over Chaldea.

"Help the mother take back her out-of-control body, and then find a way to suppress the out-of-control 'human evil' - after all, isn't the reason why the mother went berserk because of the 'evil' that was born from the over-prosperity of your human history? You humans Civilization went to self-destruction because of its own power, but it turned mother into a fallen beast - if it weren't for mother's love for you old humans, I wouldn't be on your side."

Jin Gu looked at Lu Mingfei: "You will save your mother, right? Master of Chaldea."

Lu Mingfei felt a little dizzy when Jin Gu stared at him: "It's a rescue, what exactly do you need me to do?"

"Actually, the real problem is not whether to save or not, but the risk of saving God Tiamat."

Da Vinci shook his head:

"The fact that God Tiamat's body is so violent means that her consciousness is not actually in that body, right? In other words, her consciousness is still in the sea of ​​imaginary numbers, and Nyarlathotep is related to the sea of ​​imaginary numbers. As an Outer God closely related to the sea, we want to bypass the rampaging body of God Tiamat and go to the Sea of ​​Imaginary Numbers to rescue her consciousness from the hands of Nyarlathotep? Even I think this is unreliable."

"Not to mention, even if God Tiamat's consciousness is rescued and her consciousness is put back into her body, it doesn't mean that she can suppress the 'human evil', right?"

Everyone was silent.

But Lu Mingfei raised his hand cautiously, wanting to ask with some guilt:

"Um, what is the 'human evil' you are talking about?"

Everyone except Prelati felt as if they were being choked by water.

Prelati did not continue to pester the evasive 'senior brother (?)' Merlin, but smiled and explained to Lu Mingfei:

"I know you don't know. Let's put it this way. The so-called 'human evil' is actually 'human good', which is completely opposite to the commonly known 'all evil in this world'. God Tiamat's 'evil' 'It's [return]

In words you can understand, Tiamat is a type of technology that will exist in the future growth and development of human civilization - the concept of [genetic modification], or [genetic ascension].

Human beings are imperfect and everyone has flaws, so they want to "return", want to be "reborn", return to the stage of "rebirth", and repair their shortcomings from the genetic level before birth. Then be born again in this world in a more perfect posture.

The emergence of [Returning Beast] shows that human civilization in this world line will develop technology in this area to the extreme in the future, and it is very possible for [Gene Ascension] - but this may not be successful, and it may also fail, and the ending of failure is It is destructive. Although technology is designed to make people better, it may lead to the destruction of civilization, so [Beast] was born."

"Similar to the title, [Beast] actually does not refer to a specific creature, but a special [position]. God Tiamat has the ability to breed the tide of chaos, so he has the ability to become [Position]. The qualification for the "Returning Beast" is that the appearance of the beast that fell from the sky is actually the result of Tiamat being eroded by the "beast" status conceived by humans."

"Mother loves mankind, so even if she is eroded by the 'self-destruction' bred by your 'future of human civilization', she has always maintained her 'self-seal' to help you fight against yourself."

Jin Gu bared his teeth, as if he was warning a wild beast, and glared at everyone present.

"Don't be ignorant! You have failed your mother's love for you!"

"So, in the final analysis," Lu Mingfei couldn't help but whisper, "What should we do?"

——"Need help? Brother?"

Lu Mingfei: "."
