Chapter 403
"Krishna had only mentioned this to Durga's grandmother before, but she told me about it privately, so I'll tell you."
That happened a few months ago.
Krishna actually liked this land that was in rebellion.
The Americas in 1783.
Only occasionally, when he thinks about it, a bitter smile unconsciously crosses his lips. After all, he died because of his best friend's rebellion, even though he died willingly, so there was no reason for him to refuse. And India became what it is because of this...
However, such a thing cannot be admitted or accepted; it must be taken back by any means necessary.
How can one remain rational without personally winning back their friends?
Thus, on the continent of the Americas, in a space where time and space ambiguously melted like mottled ropes, Krishna expanded some kind of record of unknown origin, using the legend of using the past karmic connection of 'Brahman' to make Kama become 'Pradyumna', to call upon Kama who was imprisoned in the Himalayas Mountains.
However, it was Durga who was guarding Kama, so it was Durga who appeared to protect Kama, not Kama himself.
However, this was all part of Krishna's plan.
"My apologies, Great Goddess Durga."
"Krishna, what are you going to do?"
"Nature is a reflection of my friend; beautiful things are clearly found all over the world, yet we cannot find them, which is truly a pity."
Krishna, with his back to Durga, continued, "This continent has beautiful stories, a world that is similar to Bharata, yet utterly altered, and you are the current Authority deity of India..."
"Specifically?"
"The Universe and the Galaxy, everything will eventually face its death. A law that even the gods cannot defy... What, then, can be defied?"
Krishna smiled and shook his head. "But that's another matter. I just hope that Durga can contact everyone, seize the major Leyline of this continent, and gather them within you, so that the former Land of Bharata can cover this land. What do you say?"
Is it really that simple?
"Everything that exists in this world, whether Planet or living beings, will sooner or later be drawn into the balance of energy, eventually leading to an eternal state of stagnation."
Krishna smiled slightly, "But I have found something beyond the balance of energies, though it is only a concept, it is enough."
He looked up at the sky and continued speaking.
"Great Goddess Durga, please believe me, and please believe that Kavia will surely return. Though it may be wrong, it is the right thing to do."
Krishna's words deeply wounded Durga's heart.
Because the reverse is also true.
It is correct, but it is wrong.
Everyone must be experiencing something that cannot be simply described as right or wrong.
Therefore, in the end, the lady of the Himalayas approved the plan.
As Ganesha spoke these words, perhaps due to the concept of the 'Future Maitreya' within Novia, the scene before him was replayed, and he saw what Durga could not see, what Krishna gazing upon—
In the Universe, many stars shine, beside the pure white moon.
In a certain space, an unparalleled and mysterious 'door' appeared. It was a law that reversed cognition and distorted thinking, allowing things to move freely throughout the Universe.
It is something that transcends Magecraft in the mythological era, existing somewhere Star Sea in the Universe.
Immediately afterward, a Brown Figure appeared behind the door. Just by standing there, a Blond Figure stepped out of the door. Then, just as another figure was about to emerge from the door, it was struck by ORT, who was floating in Universe in Humanoid, and had no choice but to disappear.
It was for this reason that only the Blond Figure was placed in the Fifth Singularity.
In this way, Novia understood Krishna's plan. Durga had indeed been deceived by him. After all, finding a continent after the Age of Gods to allow the old Age of Gods, which only existed in the past, to reappear, no matter how similar or alike, would ultimately consume astronomical amounts of Od and resources. Durga could not possibly sustain it for that long.
But there is also a real part to it. 'Something beyond the balance of energy' does not refer to Outer God, but to Bodhisattva or Buddha. Krishna is creating such a position to continuously provide countless Od to support the revival of India's old era.
Bodhisattva, or rather, a conceptual person.
"Yes, my friend, the beautiful things that came into being because of you inspire us to imitate them."
Krishna murmured.
His words were imbued with genuine emotion; for example, they sounded like a prayer.
Whether it was a coincidence or a premeditated plan, Krishna's plan and Nyarlathotep's plan coincided.
Therefore, Yog-Sothoth, who possessed abilities similar to 'Maitreya', provided a gateway for Nyarlathotep to successfully create his avatar and descend. After all, this was a great crisis for the Americas, so it was normal for him to instinctively call upon the Sun gods.
Unexpectedly, Nyarlathotep intercepted it, resulting in a "First Sun sun" that was not the First Sun, but whose aura was exactly the same.
"I see..."
Novia sighed.
In other words, besides himself, the Fifth Sun disguised as the First Sun, there is another Evil God incarnation that the Americas mistook for the First Sun. That's probably the one located in the South. As for the real Tezcatlipoca, although it has a very high probability of appearing, it should have gone to the India Faction.
After all, he is a cruel Almighty God who constantly seeks out 'Seeds of War' and takes pleasure in nurturing these seeds and making them sprout.
"Although the responsibility lies entirely with me, could you please contact everyone in different regions as soon as possible?"
Novia laughed and said, "Let's meet up together in the White House in Washington, the Americas."
Although the man did not remove his mask, those who knew him understood that he was smiling.
It was as if something warm had been lit up there.
When people lose their way, they take that light as a signpost. As long as they don't forget it, the urge and passion that resonate in their hearts will continue to run through them. In many eras and in many regions, different people express this sentiment in many similar ways.
Then night fell, and the Americas once again fell into Serenity.
"What a beautiful night."
Novia said.
Many stars twinkle in the night sky.
I completely agree.
Tlaloc, who was still standing nearby, nodded deeply. The voice he had just made sounded different from before, exuding a calm and composed atmosphere.
"Brother, no, I should call him..."
Tlaloc took off his sunglasses, winked at Novia, and smiled more broadly. "Big brother? You like being called that—"
Tlaloc, who had originally intended to take advantage of this moment to push Novia, was blocked by the sudden appearance of ORT and Ganesha, so the Black-Haired Girl narrowed one eye.
"Phew, the Second Sun seems to like you quite a bit."
Tlaloc glanced at the Ganesha, "Oh dear, there's also the Aspected God."
"No one who isn't Grandma's person is allowed to touch Grandpa."
Ganesha stared intently at Tlaloc and ORT.
If she had a choice, she would have urgently called upon her grandmothers, Kama, Durga, Mohini, because some alien deities had their eyes on her grandfather.
"... That's natural."
Novia glanced at the Forest and said, "After all, I am the messenger of Quetzalcoatl, something you should be well aware of, Tlaloc."
"Ha, clearly a fake messenger."
Novia coughed twice at his overly frank remarks.
Then--
"But anyway, this will do."
After all, I am his god, and it was just a prank, so it's acceptable. In fact, finding a hobby is a great success. Speaking of which, didn't Abigail say she would be here soon? Why is she nowhere to be seen...?
Tlaloc believed so.
Actually, it's likely that ORT slammed the door shut as he was walking out, preventing him from making his way out.
Meanwhile, in the nearby Forest, Ritsuka was secretly watching the scene.
Because--
"Yes, yes, Ritsuka, come closer! If you do a good job, I'll work Da Vinci to make you Number Eighteen Saint Quartz as payment!"
Before the girl was a small blue dialog box, in which Da Vinci was displayed.
Although Chaldea's communications were basically handled entirely by Novia, it was still possible for Da Vinci to find a loophole. First, because there were just too many Servant auras, she, who was already secretly observing Novia and her group's every move through this, couldn't stand it any longer and made a sound.
Ritsuka was startled at the time, and later, in a communication, Da Vinci also understood that in this Singularity, Novia had acquired the identities of the First Sun of the Americas and the fourth India Fourth-Aspected God...
Something's not right. Something's nine-tenths wrong.
Da Vinci astutely realized that Novia, the First Sun, was probably just a disguise to impersonate another Sun.
After all, for Outsider not from the Americas, when they learned of the Fifth Sun, they wondered if it was a combination of Deity created by local Church Priest to better spread their Faith when the indigenous monotheistic Faith spread to this land.
Therefore, the Rome Catholic Holy Church declares:
The Fifth Sun of the Americas is Deity created by the people of Central and South America after they learned about the Bible and Church history, and adapted it according to their own system.
The prevailing local explanation is that the Fifth Sun is an ancient Aztec and Maya entity, destined to be the Supreme Being in their mythological system. A less common explanation is that it is the deified manifestation of the pioneers of Central and South America, as described by locals.
It was this minority view that made Da Vinci so concerned, because the name was so incredibly familiar.
So, at that moment, after Ritsuka truthfully reported what she had heard, Da Vinci nodded and closed the chat box, leaving the girl looking bewildered.
"I knew it."
In Chaldea, Da Vinci's thoughts kept flowing.
Alright, you hid it from me before, huh? I almost actually believed you... I knew you weren't going to die so easily, you've even earned the title of Fifth Sun, not bad, not bad. But where did Baobhan Sith go? Given her personality, shouldn't she be sticking with Favia all the time...?
"That one, Number One."
"What's up?"
Regarding the previous Fourth Singularity--
Halfway through the conversation, Da Vinci suddenly turned around, causing Little Gran, who was the second unit, to frown.
"What's wrong?"
"Generally speaking, it's impossible for Magecraft's apprenticeship to be without any cost, Little Gran, you should know that, right?"
"Uh, I know, but so what? After Number One, you're barely my mother, not my Teacher. Why bring this up?"
Little Gran, who was playing Da Vinci Lily, stared in astonishment at Da Vinci's sudden serious expression, feeling as if he were a once-in-eight-hundred-years figure.
"So, how about we give your Teacher some 'price'?"
"Novia is Number One Consultant you appointed, the Teacher I approve of. If you want her, I will naturally provide her..."
Gran tilted his head. "But why would you suddenly say something like that, Number One?"
In response to Gran's question, Da Vinci smiled gently and touched the girl's forehead, as if a treasure were buried there.
"Hey, after all, I'm the all-powerful genius Da Vinci, you know."
"... knew."
Little Gran looked at Da Vinci's profile, which seemed slightly less serious, and thus appeared to reluctantly agree.
"Actually, in my design, Little Gran should be as lively as a student, or perhaps an 'Angel'? That's how it was designed, but it didn't really show up after launch. It wasn't my mistake. I actually understand it quite well, you know, if you want to evoke that kind of feeling."
Da Vinci paused for a moment, then said, "After all, she's our child, so she's incredibly cute and Perfection."
Upon hearing this, Little Gran smiled sweetly.
"I see... Well, there's nothing I can do then. I'll try my best!"
Chapter 431 Bubble: Nyarlathotep, that's enough.
The day after the Riverton dispute subsided, in the White House in Washington.
In that incongruous Cowshed, bathed in the slanting sunlight, two strange figures faced each other.
On one side is the real Tezcatlipoca, the First Sun of the Americas, the most powerful god on the surface of the Aztec World.
On one side is Krishna, an extension of Vishnu Aspected God, one of the most widely worshipped deities in Hinduism.
Both are beings that transcend human intelligence, and judging from the fact that their mysterious nature increases with antiquity, both are far older than several thousand years.
Judging from the previous conflicts in the Americas, the two should have been adversaries. However, this was not the case. The Tezcatlipoca had already made a deal with Krishna, helping him successfully refine Buddhism concepts for sublimation. The reason is simple—
When Kali Yuga arise between two sides, prioritizing the assistance of the weaker party only exacerbates the conflict.
"Hey, shepherd, can't you even find a loyal follower under your command?"
