Andersen and the God / The Machine Called God
In Chaldea, he followed his Master to save Human Order, witnessing how the girl repeatedly impacted the future of the world during crises. With an ordinary human body, she fought against extraordinary monsters such as Demon Pillar, Human Evil, and evil gods, thwarting their goals.
Throughout his journeys, he witnessed various Servant creating Singularity for different purposes and desires, causing all sorts of trouble for the world. The struggles within were endless, with Servant of different stances clashing with their beliefs, and they all recorded everything.
Thomas Edison, the Lion Head president of the United States, wanted to build a giant tower with a gun barrel, intending to cut off the American continent and protect it.
In a certain parallel world, the King of Knights, who had not returned the Holy Sword, raised the Holy Lance, intending to lead a select few to a place where they would not be affected by Human Order interference.
So insignificant...
In Mooncell, the Moon Holy Grail War takes place. People with various desires arrive here through the internet, including girls who join the resistance because they don't want to live Issei life under the control of Western European Zaibatsu.
Or, as the successor to Western European Zaibatsu, this perfect young man will lead humanity through an era of scarce resources. Although life will be bleak, oppressive, and boring, devoid of hope and passion, at least humanity can survive for as long as possible.
It was Tevis who advocated using the power of Mooncell to wage a war that would benefit everyone, reactivating the human race's drive through the cleansing of war and finding a new future.
There's also Kishou Shotoku's so-called Salvation of all Humanity, enjoying bliss, even if only for a moment.
It's too monotonous...
Neither method is acceptable to men. It's about abandoning the majority of mediocre people to allow only a few elites to survive, or abandoning the minority to benefit the majority.
Nothing was perfect, and even those who survived could not be considered happy.
Now, Shirou Emiya from all these worlds has returned to his origin, merging into the memories of different parallel worlds.
To be honest, none of these memories are perfect. The man was tired of it all; there was no way to solve everything here. He had found a way to resolve everything, so he had to create his own world.
In people's mouths, so-called miracles basically refer to things that should be impossible to achieve. But anything that can be imagined is not impossible, and this is what the laws of history tell us.
Whether it's soaring into the heavens or diving into the earth, turning clouds into seas, Chang'e Flies to the Moon, these things, which were imagined and drawn on the stone walls of caves thousands or tens of thousands of years ago and have been passed down, have almost all come true now.
If you can imagine it, it has the potential to come true, but the chances seem extremely slim now, almost zero.
Even if it's a one in a billion chance, if it's repeated hundreds of millions of times, it will eventually happen once. As a guardian, Shirou Emiya is always in action, strictly demanding of himself, and striving to grow in every action.
In the end, the man turned this almost impossible thing into reality.
Even a million experiences, not hundreds of millions, are enough to numb a person. No matter how cruel the event, the heart will only feel accustomed to it and indifferent.
But the Heart of Steel persevered. Through countless trials and tribulations, the heart of steel was refined and elevated.
On the day Chaldea successfully resolved the Incineration of Humanity incident, the man left, beginning his journey to godhood. That process was incredibly arduous; language is utterly inadequate to describe it...
Later, the man succeeded, and then God said, "Let there be light in all the worlds, and may everyone be free from calamity and escape cruel fate."
Because there is no evil, there is no need for justice, nor for Servant; there is no need for war, no need for Counter Force, for God will transcend all time, appearing in every minute and every second to maintain everything.
Humanity will live happily ever after...
Chapter 278 Andersen and the Gods
On the moon, inside the computer space constructed by Mooncell, the Demonic Bodhisattva Kishou Shotoku was defeated by that Maiden Master.
BB blocked the firewall on the Moon's Reverse Side for Master Zabith, allowing her to escape back to the outside.
CCC was nothing more than a long dream of an AI Girl named BB.
The moment BB disappears, those who were caught up in the dream will also wake up.
Next, Zabith and Rin will continue their journey towards the Gate of Heaven, defeat Tevis, and make their final choice.
The white-haired man sighed softly, and with a sigh, he brought back the girl who should have been deleted due to the update of the Moon's Reverse Side. She survived as an individual independent of Mooncell.
Before the doubts of Kishou Shotoku could be dispelled, the white-haired god prepared to teleport her to another pure white space, asking her to agree to assist him in his work.
"Oh my? And who are you? Now that you've healed my injuries, are you going to do something pleasant with me?" The gigantic Kishou Shotoku looked at the suddenly appearing man and asked with a seductive smile.
"No, as a calamity, you are destined to be defeated no matter what, so before that, I will arrange how you use your power," the man said calmly.
"You're really just talking to yourself! You didn't say a word and just took away my bitch Master." The blue-haired boy walked up with his arms crossed and protested to the man.
"I'm sorry, but I can't let Kishou Shotoku just disappear like this. She will continue to work for the people of many worlds." The white-haired man said calmly.
"Hmph, what an unromantic guest! Then take me with you. I can help persuade her if you want. I'm really annoyed by her disappearing so abruptly," Andersen said, arms crossed.
"I understand. You are the Servant summoned by her. It seems you really don't dislike her." The white-haired man did not refuse. With a wave of his hand, he granted the blue-haired shota's Servant enough magical power to act independently for a long time in any world. For him, consuming enough energy to keep Servant alive was merely a matter of lifting a finger.
"Ah~! I don't really hate her. I hate humans more than monsters like her. Besides, she's my fan." The blue-haired shota shrugged and continued:
"Indeed, that woman is truly evil to the core, and there is no possibility of forgiveness. But—every human being has an ugly side. As long as someone is willing to risk their life for their own happiness, in my eyes, they possess a noble radiance."
"Is that so? Then I'll take you there now. It's an agreement. Because of my special status, even a verbal promise becomes a contract. So I'll ask you one more time, Andersen, are you really sure about this?" The white-haired man's expression remained unchanged, but he earnestly reminded his Servant.
"Ah, unknown deity, let's set off. As long as I have books and a pen, I can stay anywhere. And... who knows, being by your side might inspire my future writing."
The blue-haired boy scrutinized the white-haired man—no, he should be called a god—with a critical, even contemptuous, gaze. But the words he uttered carried no respect whatsoever, only sarcasm.
He didn't know what the white-haired man was thinking, after all, his face was always calm and expressionless, but he had a mouth, so he would still say it.
"You, as a god, are a disaster for humanity. Although humanity has long been utterly corrupt, now that you are a deity above, I'm starting to feel sorry for them."
If everything Kishou Shotoku did as a female evil god was evil, at least she could inspire humanity to unite against a common enemy and strive to demonstrate the brilliance of humanity, thus staging a good drama of justice triumphing over evil.
But the male god before her was the opposite of that woman, without desire or want, not doing charity for himself, showing a deadpan expression, yet doing things that even the most benevolent god would not do in a way that would be thankless.
And because these are not bad things, they will not be resisted or stopped, and will continue in this lonely way until the collapse comes.
Hans Christian Andersen, a famous 19th-century Denmark fairy tale writer, was the first person to successfully write fairy tales in the form of literary works, and is therefore known as the 'Father of Modern Fairy Tales' and the 'Sun of Children's Literature'.
The Ugly Duckling, the Little Match Girl, the Little Mermaid, and the Emperor's New Clothes are all stories familiar to people all over the world. The Snow Queen was also adapted into the famous animated film Frozen in modern times.
His works have been translated into more than 150 languages, and it is believed that he will become increasingly famous in future generations, perhaps even reaching unimaginable heights.
However, in the brilliant literary world of the 19th and 20th centuries, when European artists traveled extensively, fairy tales did not receive widespread attention, at least during his lifetime and for decades after his death.
Therefore, Andersen was merely a somewhat famous figure in the literary world, but not a particularly outstanding one, and his status was far from comparable to those literary masters.
Legend has it that he was 185 cm tall, slender, and often had a worried look in his eyes. He was more self-conscious than confident. He believed that his ugly appearance concealed an unchanging childlike innocence. He was also naturally sentimental, which led to a life full of ups and downs.
He was fortunate to live in a good era, benefiting from the overall rise of Europe. At that time, even some small European countries took advantage of this new wave of colonization to act arrogantly and amass wealth everywhere. At its peak, the European countries, which were also derived from the Roman Empire, together occupied 80 percent of the earth's land.
Modern Denmark is a small country with a population of only 5 million and a land area of only 40,000 square kilometers. Its land area is less than one-fortieth of Xinjiang Province, and it is not much larger than Treasure Island.
It's hard to imagine that this place was once a major commercial power, second only to Britain in foreign trade, and even Sweden gained independence from Denmark.
Born to a shoemaker and a maid, Andersen was admitted to the Capital University. Then, with his literary talent, he won a highly prestigious literary award at the time, thus embarking on a stable writing career.
Because of his passion for travel and making friends, he used all his royalties to travel around Europe. The multi-talented man was able to have pleasant conversations with celebrities from various fields.
He seemed to possess certain qualities that allowed him to easily navigate the social circles of celebrities. In France, he befriended Victor Hugo, shared Hugo with Alexandre Dumas, watched Balzac's plays, and was invited to attend a concert by Liszt.
He met Dickens at a party in England and was adored by the ladies; he also visited Mendelssohn in Germany.
These meetings, after being enhanced with a level 10 beautification filter, were written into Andersen's biography and have been passed down through generations.
Well, aside from the fact that the Brothers Grimm, who were contemporaries, were old scholars who secluded themselves to study and organize documents, they had never even heard of Andersen when Andersen suddenly decided to visit them.
Andersen witnessed all sorts of tragedies in the world, and the darkness that humanity can never escape; therefore, his works are always rich in tragic overtones. But at the same time, he also held onto hope, believing that the Ugly Duckling would turn into a swan, and that most of the villains in his works would be punished.
A person who likes to show off, wearing red shoes that dance endlessly, and walking on bread as a stepping stone, fell into a swamp.
He never married and in his later years could not avoid dying alone, clutching the love letters he had written to his first love as he lay dying.
Later generations have offered many speculations about this, leaving behind various folk tales, including one about why he couldn't fall in love with humans...
As a writer, Andersen traveled the world, observing every place that might bring people a sense of novelty, sometimes the people, sometimes the events.
He encountered his first love somewhere, a young girl who shone with the light of humanity through her actions. Even the pessimistic Andersen felt hope and longing for a better future when he saw her.
The girl was abandoned by her parents when she was very young, but she never resented anyone. Despite never experiencing happiness, she always smiled and helped many people. She would listen to the cries of heartbroken people, but never mentioned her own tragic past.
And so, six years after Andersen met the girl, communicated with her, and built a relationship of trust, he finally heard the girl's true feelings.
Life is not just about suffering, and life doesn't need hatred, because "happiness will come one day."
The girl spoke these words with a smile, as if she were dreaming of a beautiful dream. Despite the neglect and trauma her body had suffered, she firmly believed in the warmth of humanity.
It was from this sentence that Andersen learned what true love was.
That was not an unattainable illusion; the very existence of this girl was a miracle called "love."
But precisely because of this, Andersen could no longer touch the girl. Even if he went up to talk to her, he felt ashamed and afraid of offending her eyes or preventing her from breathing fresh air.
'Because I am an incurable outcast, and at the same time I believe that this young girl will be visited by a man who is a match for her, bringing happiness.' Andersen thought to himself, and wrote his thoughts into the fairy tale.
After that, Andersen kept a close watch on the girl, like the mermaid who brought the prince who was shipwrecked at sea to the girl on the shore...
Later, the girl was married to a wealthy man. Andersen had known the businessman for a long time and knew him to be a man of high moral character, a trustworthy friend, and a husband to whom he could entrust his life.
At the time, Andersen thought, 'If it were him, there's no doubt he could bring happiness to the girl.' 'In that case, everything would be worthwhile.'
That night, Andersen specially opened a bottle of expensive wine to celebrate the happy occasion.
Then, just a week before the girl's wedding, her body was abandoned in a deserted alleyway.
What exactly happened? Andersen had no way of knowing. Had the girl done something wrong? Or was his trusted wealthy friend actually a monster in human clothing?
But it doesn't matter anymore, because Andersen knew from the beginning that everyone has an ugly side, and that love doesn't exist in the world, nor is it needed, because love is useless.
From that day on, Andersen vowed never to fall in love with humans again...
The author has a few words to say: there will be a discount promotion on the afternoon of the 10th.
If I make a wish over a thousand times, I'll write 2 million words! Yes, two million words! Two-Million!
We're getting an average of 1300+ new subscriptions per day, but the average daily subscriptions are still below 850—it's just not quite there yet. Thank you to my editor, Touko, for spontaneously giving me a discount and a push notification; I'm very grateful. Turns out I haven't been abandoned after all, haha...
In short, there will be a discount promotion tomorrow, the 10th. For those who skip ahead, I'm asking you to subscribe to the full version.
I'm truly grateful to everyone who has read my books, recommended them, given me tips, and even sent me messages of criticism. They've never cursed at my writing, but instead offered suggestions and pointed out my typos. Thank you so much.
I know that everyone's money doesn't grow on trees. In fact, without everyone's support along the way, I wouldn't be able to write this far.
However, I really want to get over a thousand views, just for a chance to prove myself. That way, I can get two big recommendations, and more people can read this book.
I've written nearly a million words. If I wouldn't call it a labor of love, it's certainly been written after sweating in the sweltering heat and staying up all night. I'm not willing to just let it go like this.
We initially agreed on a million words, with each of the thousand-word series reaching 1.5 million words, but we failed to achieve that. However, as I wrote along the way, I developed a real attachment to the story. Unfortunately, the average daily subscription is still hovering around 800, and I have to take the blame for that. But if I were to finish it at 1 million words now, it would just be a rushed ending, which is unacceptable.
The author is shamelessly asking for a full subscription. If you think this book is still worth reading and have some money in your account, please grant my request. In return, from the 10th to the 20th, I will be updating for ten days, 10,000 words per day.
In any case, I will finish writing the book. After that, there's Shimousa, the swimsuit arc, the Rin chapter, and the Sakura chapter. It will definitely be over 1.5 million words.
Abigail so cute, Lily Artoria is so adorable, and there's even a 2.0... Actually, there are several more ideas I've been thinking of writing.
For example, Shirou, with Artoria weakened to Lily level and Chaldea, summons Servant to start an idol company and collect faith to repair the world. BB-chan a streamer, Nero goes to sing with the Dragon Girl, Lilith is the perfect heroine.
For example, Rin Tohsaka, whose martial arts skills reached A+, has a muscular physique that can fight against Servant. She also inherited the Second Magic and is always causing trouble. She beats up anyone who dares to disobey her, and after beating them up, she turns them into girls. She wields Jewel Sword in one hand and a "girl-turning fist" in the other.
For example, Gudako takes Chaldea to find Ainz Ooal Gown. For example, Shirou Emiya takes Mash and goes to open a Type-Moon kindergarten with the Amazon Queen.
The legend of France 'Charlemagne Twelve Knights, the epic Trojan War, the Seven Warring States's Battle of He Shi Bi —I really want to write them down!
That's all for now, I'll get back to writing! I'll try to write as many chapters as possible on Saturday and Sunday if I have time.
Chapter 279 The Machine Named God
As a professional author, the blue-haired boy, with his keen senses, looked at the white-haired man beside him. Sure enough, no matter how you looked at him, the man standing there with an expressionless face was like a statue. Only the white light emanating from his body made him appear to be full of inviolable majesty.
Andersen scrutinized the man for a while, then, finding it uninteresting, withdrew his gaze and said:
"Don't just ask me. As someone who has transcended the realm of living beings and stands on the side of a god, how do you view Kishou Shotoku? In a way, she, who also came from a human body and became a god or demon, is actually closer to you, isn't she?"
The white-haired man remained silent in response to the writer's question.
Yes, his human emotions have become increasingly detached, and he feels no anger at Kishou Shotoku's actions.
Perhaps, as the writer Servant before us says, he has indeed lost the emotions he had as a human being, and has forgotten the feelings he once had when he longed for Hero of Justice.
What he's doing now is simply something that was predetermined from the beginning, because other humans can't be entrusted with anything, and even powerful gods aren't reliable. Furthermore, the choices made by the Counter Force generated by the collective consciousness of humanity are always too cruel.
If he wants to save humanity, he can only trust himself.
Therefore, this being relinquished everything as a human being and became Creator God.
Because Kishou Shotoku was harmful to humanity, she was stopped; because Human Evil was beneficial to the world's rules for achieving salvation, she kept them by her side.
In the spatial domain previously opened by the Demonic Bodhisattva, there were azure Buddhist pillars, emerald green lotus leaves growing everywhere, and lotus flowers emerging from the mud unsullied. These scenes, which only appear when Buddhist enlightenment person makes a vow, all indicate that the woman possesses the qualifications to become a deity or Buddha. (Monthly fee group 694936135)
Even if a woman is Demonic Bodhisattva, she is still a bodhisattva and must have made the Four Great Vows that one would have made when attaining the Bodhisattva fruit position.
One is the Vow to save all sentient beings, a vow to liberate all sentient beings;
