Nyarlathotep’s thoughts ⑤
Genuine・Gigantomachia is activated, and the divine abilities of Alice and Nyarlathotep are returned to Zeus.
Now, Alice, Kaguya, and I have lost our divine powers, but we haven't lost our original powers. However, it is clear that we cannot intervene in the battle between Zeus and Typhon.
The battle between Zeus and Typhon engulfed the entire world of Ma’at, and as per the rules of dueling, they were trying to filter out everything except what they wanted from the fight. It was also Zeus's strategy. He told us to think of a solution while he continued to fight, buying us time and offsetting his opponents’ attacks.
… A truly difficult problem.
“Maybe it's just my imagination, but my shoulders feel light!”
Although Kaguya had lost her godly powers, she was happy that that burden was gone.
However, this loss of power must be more than just a loss of personal power. The power of God was made up of the ten worlds, and was also the power that supported the ten worlds themselves. Now that Zeus has collected the essence of those abilities, the ten worlds themselves will not be able to maintain their shape.
…What kind of events will this bring about?
I was thinking seriously, which was unusual for me.
Chaos is what we want, but right now we are moving in the direction of order. Invaders from a parallel future are trying to end this battle and steal energy from the world. If thinking about the stable supply of energy, it’s
common to aim for a stable structure based on domination of this world. It would be undesirable for Gears to destroy this world itself. However, that order is not a wish for me.
“Alice.”
“What?”
Alice seemed to be thinking deeply too. Her reply was curt, but it was proof that she thought something as well.
“I want to understand the current situation.”
“That's what I thought too. First, our world will be destroyed. Rather, we have lost our stability due to the loss of the divine power that supports us, and are trying to become one in the near future. It feels like something is falling from a high place to a low place. I think the type of dimensional fusion that Loki did will naturally occur.”
“What will happen in the battle between Zeus and Typhon?”
“As I possessed a portion of Zeus' power, I felt that the battle would continue indefinitely. Unless there is some outside intervention. But intervention requires the power of God, so it's not possible for now. Eventually, it will be separated from the world of Ma’at, and the battle itself will become something like a concept. By doing so, those abilities will also be released to the outside world. No matter how strong the container is, it will crack and become brittle.”
“However, the "Gears" side can also benefit from that power.”
“That's right, they're also pouring a lot of their power into Typhon, so they can't move much now. However, they will resume their activities at some point. So far, it's possible to predict.”
For the time being, it's not realistic to stop the fusion of the 10 worlds.”
“In the first place, we don't have that power. I guess it's like there's no way to stop the world from being reorganized as one. It will be rebuilt into one world, but the properties and memories of the previous world will be incorporated, but at that time, the will and properties of "Gears" will also be incorporated, because it penetrates this world enough.”
“If that happens, I think we need to think about how to control it after that and how to overcome it.”
“There are a lot of challenges, but there is hardly any sand in the hourglass with a time limit.”
“Hehehe... It’s hopeless. It is the best experience.”
Now, the possibility of a breakthrough is low, but not zero. Conversely, the only question in this case is whether or not it is possible. In terms of observation, it can be said that it is a success at the stage where there is a possibility, but hehehe, this is an untruth.
What we need to do can be divided into three stages. We could call it past, present, and future, but now is the past and the time of preparation relative to the anticipated future. It is certain that the 10 worlds will merge and become one world, and it is necessary to preserve it. They must not be controlled by the “Gears'', and it is necessary to develop the strength to withstand interference and the strength to repel it.
This requires an administrator and a barrier. When the ten worlds are brought together as one star, we need someone to watch over the world's development and guide us when the time comes. Creating that barrier and giving it the ability to manage it would probably use up most of our resources. The remaining strength, including mine, will fall asleep. Still, if we want to watch over the world, we have no choice but to become the moon in the sky.
The next stage is after the 10 worlds become one world. If that world were to be considered the primordial star, it would incorporate the properties of the 10 worlds. Even assuming that the Gears are repelled by a barrier, a star with the power of the Gears will probably be born nearby. However, if the administrator and the barrier function, the interference from the Gears will be kept to a minimum.
However, as time passes, power is released from the battle field between Zeus and Typhon, and the power of the Gears grows stronger, and so does the power of their interference.
This is a watershed for the world. It would be great if we could release our dormant powers and have the people of the 10 worlds join forces to defeat Gears, but if Gears were to use our power and control us, then... that's it. However, if we overcome that, we will clear the second stage. We should be able to temporarily weaken the power of the Gears.
However, what is important is the third step. The key to that strategy is...
“Kaguya. I'll make you pay me back for that debt.”
“What, me?”
Suddenly, Kaguya was called and let out a frantic voice.
“I feel like a heavy weight has been placed on my shoulders again...”
