last post apocalypse

"As I said just now, the stigmata used by the Valkyries belonging to Anti-Entropy are not the same as the stigmata of the Christian saints. After the stigmata of the Christian saints are opened, they will burst out with great power. Physical strength, Muscle strength, cell activity, brain reflexes and other physical qualities will be geometrically improved, and at the same time, magic power will also increase geometrically. Simply put, it is like a buff like 'combat power +500%' in the game!"

"Although if you use it for too long, the saint will be finished. But as a power borrowed from the gods, the Christian saint is indeed stronger than our Valkyrie in a short period of time!"

She folded her arms, with a slightly sour tone in her tone.

It seems that she is quite envious of others' explosive power.

"But our Valkyries are not vegetarians! There are really powerful A-level seniors, and we won't be compared to those 1-minute saints!"

"Besides, although our Valkyrie stigmata can't borrow the power of gods through the principle of 'idol worship' like them. But in terms of popularity and versatility, we are better than the Christian guys by more than 01:30 !"

"Popularity and versatility?"

Kamijou asked for Teresa.

In fact, Teresa wanted to take this opportunity to see the difference between the stigmata in this world and her world.

"I have also said before that the stigmata of the Valkyries are not borrowed power. It is a conversion device. Just like diesel and diesel generators, we inject the Houkai energy into the stigmata, and the stigmata will be Feedback to us power. For example, some stigmata will convert the Houkai energy into flames, and some stigmata will make the power skyrocket... By the way, different types of stigmata can obtain different powers. But they still have something in common, that is, they will increase the physical fitness of the Valkyries."

"Of course, it's not like the saints of the Christian religion, who can increase their physical fitness dozens of times in one go. After the Valkyrie is engraved with the stigmata, the increase it brings is usually only three to five times. Individual outstanding talents and The Christian saints can barely compare."

"However, even if it can't compare! The staying power of the Valkyries is much higher than that of the Christian saints! Even if we open the stigmata for a week, it will not have any effect!"

As she spoke, Xier raised her fist, her expression as if she saw a heretic.

It is really three sentences that cannot be separated from the "Christian saint".

But Kamijou also understands.

After all, Walter told him about the history of anti-entropy.

The predecessor of anti-entropy, Mandate of Heaven, was actually the combination of Christian magic split from Northern Europe and some native Nordic magicians, who broke away from the constraints of Christianity and came to North America.

Kamijou does not know what kind of struggle and sacrifice took place there.

But nearly a century has passed, and anti-entropy and Christianity have not completely reconciled.

So much so that the Valkyrie girl in front of her was also greatly affected.

Kamijou had to remind her to get down to business: "So, what's the difference between the artificial stigmata and the natural stigmata on your body?"

"Oh, sorry for digressing. The natural stigmata are also called the original stigmata. Needless to say, they are the stigmata that a baby is born with. For example, I am such a born Valkyrie."

Seele put her hands on her chest and said.

"But the number of natural stigmata is extremely rare, even lower than that of Christian saints. At present, there are only five natural-born Valkyries in the world. And such a number is far from enough for human beings. So from Hundreds of years ago, Nordic magicians began to study the power of the female warrior's holy marks. But this work was not completed until 100 years ago by anti-entropy. Maybe Mr. Walter was not born at that time."

Hillary smiled.

Walter's age~~~

Well, I'm very energetic now.

"Different from the artificial abilities developed purely by science and technology in Academy City, the artificial stigmata of our Valkyries need to borrow magic and technology to complete mass production."

"However, although we mass-produce artificial stigmata, more girls with Houkai adaptability can become Valkyrie. However, artificial stigmata cannot completely replace natural stigmata."

"Although Honkai energy can be converted to gain power, the utilization rate of Honkai energy is far less than that of natural stigmata. For example, the stigmata on my body can be close to 1:1 between Honkai energy and output power. But the artificial Valkyries can only achieve 3:1. Moreover, it is difficult to improve the physical fitness to reach the level of natural stigmata."

"However, fortunately, these can be made up for through exercise and practice. Among the A-level Valkyries, I am actually the only one who is a natural stigmata. The usage rate of the other seniors has even reached the level of input and The output ratio is 1:1.5, which is unscientific."

"So, Valkyrie must be able to defeat those Christians!"

Having said that, Xier raised her fist again.

Could it be that the anti-entropy branch of Siberia has a big opinion on Christianity?

Also, Kamijou finally understood why Walter wanted to vigorously promote the research progress of the anti-entropy mecha.

Valkyries and magicians overlap too much.

Anti-entropy needs competitive products that can be sold.

"So that's the case. I have a question. Since anti-entropy is basically a Valkyrie who uses artificial stigmata. Why do you, the holder of natural stigmata, come here to assist in the research?"

This sentence is Kamijou's own problem.

A girl like Xi'er is an outstanding talent with natural stigmata.

Anti-entropy should be more closely protected.

But why did she appear in Academy City, which is not very pleasing to the eye with anti-entropy, and in the super research institute that cultivated Suzuke Yuriko, the No. 1 super research institute in Academy City?

It's as weird as putting your own nuclear bomb in someone else's laboratory.

Chapter 56. Do you understand quantum mechanics?

Have to say boy you found a blind spot.

If Watson were here, he would definitely have something in common with Kamijou Touma.

Seele Fleur, as the only natural stigmata holder among all the A-rank Valkyries, was actually sent to the research institute of the 'enemy' academy city...

Could it be that this Valkyrie lady was excluded by Anti-Entropy?

For example, the natural stigmata holder is jealous of most artificial stigmata holders, and then those guys join hands to bully her and so on

Is that why they were dispatched?

Thinking like this, Kamijou Touma's eyes warmed a lot.

"You must have had a hard time."

"Eh? Why?"

Seele Fleur didn't understand what Kamijou was talking about, a simple child wouldn't even cover up her inner thoughts.

Maybe she didn't understand the fact that she was excluded, and thought it was a good thing to be sent to the 'enemy' to assist in research.

"It's nothing, you have to look forward in life! 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, when you return to anti-entropy, you must go back with an invincible attitude! Let those people look at you with admiration!"

Although I don't quite understand the sudden change in Kamijou's painting style, the other party should be encouraging me.

Seele Fleur clenched her small fists and shouted hard.

"Oh...I'll try!"

"I believe you will do it!"

"Thank you, thank you."

"If they dare to bully you, just tell me, and I will help you!"

"???"

It's not clear what exactly Kamijou imagined, but Kihara Kagun dutifully explained.

"Although I don't know what you just made up in your head, there is a reason why we invited Miss Seele Fleur to assist in the research. Because her stigmata ability is what we need."

"Stigmata ability?"

"It's hard to understand directly, so let's show it."

Kihara Kagun gestured to Xier, who nodded.

Then a weapon was 'taken' out of the air.The reason for using 'take' instead of 'realization' is because of the above perception.The emergence of this weapon does not have the process of energy formation, but it seems to emerge from invisible sea water.

This weapon is a blue sickle that doesn't match Seele's size.

The blade alone was bigger than she looked.

"Could it be the ability of the space system?"

It was Shokuhou Misaki who asked the question, and she stroked her chin.

When Xier took out the scythe, strange fluctuations spread out, but they were not spatial fluctuations in the traditional sense.Rather close, but different sense of volatility.

It was Yuriko Suzuko who explained to her standing beside her.

"Space ability? Well, maybe it's very close. Xier can also do what a space-type ability user can do. But the essence of her ability is actually the ability to determine the quantum state by herself through observation. If I want to say, it should be The ability to 'manipulate quantum states'."

"what!!!"

Shokuhou Misaki was taken aback.

Kamijou and Theresa blinked together.

"Manipulating the quantum state, is it very powerful? Dean, do you know?"

"I have never studied quantum mechanics, how could I know!"

Shokuhou Misaki was still in shock, but Yuriko had already understood Kamijou's blank eyes—it was as obvious as when the teacher saw students pretending to be "I understand" in the stands during class.

"I won't talk about complicated things. You should know that 'artificial abilities rely on personal reality to intervene in the world'. In fact, this is derived from the classical experiment in quantum mechanics 'Schrödinger's cat'. For the quantum world Generally speaking, there are only two things we are concerned about. The first one is the "evolution" of quantum, that is, how to predict the future quantum state given an initial quantum state. The second one is the key to artificial abilities , is 'observation', which is to know the state of a quantum, and then we observe what kind of result we will get, and what is the probability of obtaining such a result."

"In the latter case, we use our personal reality to forcibly distort the 'observation results' to the results we need. For example, if I rub my fingers, the force generated will perfectly concentrate all the charges on the fingertips, so my fingers produce electricity."

Yuriko Suzuke snapped her fingers as she spoke, and a blue-white fire flashed across her fingertips just as she said.

"But if it is an ordinary person who has not developed superpowers and cannot separate his own personal reality. What is the concept of snapping your fingers and causing electric sparks to flash across your fingertips? One in a hundred million, one in a billion , or lower? This is quantum 'observation'."

"And Xi'er is the one who can finalize the 'quantum future state' through the power of the stigmata. She is the first problem solver. Simply put, she can perfectly control the 'quantum'. For example... Let him see how powerful you are?"

Yuriko smiled at Xier.

Xi'er also understood, raised the huge sickle in her hand and swiped fiercely in the air.

Then the space is cut.

"No! It's not a simple space cut, it's the sea of ​​quantum!"

In the gap of one meter long and several centimeters wide, there is a blue mysterious space like the essence of the ocean.

At the same time, Teresa's voice sounded in her head.

"This child has the power to open the quantum sea!!! God, how can I have this ability! If I met her sooner......!!! A mere space barrier, it will be broken with a single knife... ...."

As if discouraged, Teresa's voice gradually became smaller.

The others who couldn't hear Teresa's voice then explained to Kamijou, the only one in the venue who still didn't understand the situation.

"This is the preciousness of this child, because he is also interested in 'quantum', and his abilities are also related. We invited Miss Xier Fleur to the research institute to assist in the research. Even at the beginning, Siberia The branch still refused to let her go, and we had to pay a huge price to invite her over later through technology exchange."

Kihara Kagun's face twitched, as if he also thought of those compensations back then and felt pain in his flesh.

Xier quickly waved her hand.

"There, I also received a lot of care from you and learned a lot of useful knowledge."

"Don't say that, I've told you many times~ You've already helped a lot by being here, as the same A-level, you should hold your head high!"

"Yes, I understand!"

Yuriko's lesson made Xi'er subconsciously puff up her small chest.

But the scythe in her hand moved with it.

The machine on the side was split in two just by being touched by the blade.

And the split half is falling towards...

Kamijou was thinking.

Chapter 57, body crystal

Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?

Kamijou Touma's memory only stayed on the sentence "be careful behind", and then he felt a pain in his head and fell unconscious.

"..."

Averting his dazed eyes, Kamijou saw Shokuhou Misaki's face.

Shokuhou Misaki was visibly relieved.

"You finally woke up."

"What happened?"

At this time, Kamijou noticed that there was a strange soft touch on the cheek lying on the side.

She seemed to be lying on something quite remarkable.

"The machine fell down just now, and you happened to be hit."
