Chapter 448

Somewhere in an apartment.】

Putting down his milk, Vodka, who had just received his C-rank Mage certification today, looked at his external brain with a blank face.】

Before the silver-haired man could speak, the little boy with golden spiky hair had already raised his hand: "I know, the national language teacher taught it today, it is 'Life springs from sorrow and calamity, death comes from ease and pleasure.'"】

Although not very accurate, it is somewhat related.】

Nodding with satisfaction, Gin withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Vodka coldly, sighing in his heart.】

Sure enough, magic talent has little to do with intelligence.】

……..

"Pandora (Πανδ? ρα)!"】

"The daughter of calamity in ancient Greek mythology, a doll used by the gods to punish humanity and bring calamity to the earth...""】

On the train to the film base.】

Mouri Ran held the book and read word by word: "The gods gave her gifts that made her possess more alluring charm; the fire god Hephaestus made her a gorgeous golden robe, the love god Aphrodite gave her the power to be charming and seduce men, and the messenger of the gods Hermes taught her the skill of speech. The gods gave Pandora many gifts, beauty, intelligence, curiosity... and a magic box that would bring calamity if opened..."】

Halfway through reading, Mouri Ran stopped with black lines on her face.】

What the hell?】

Intentionally giving someone curiosity, and then giving them a magic box that is said to have treasures? And then not explaining it clearly, just pretending to advise them not to open it?】

This isn't even fishing law enforcement.】

This hook is straight, right.】

"Dad, the gods are really bad, but..."】

She still didn't understand the connection between the beginning and the end.】

Looking at Mouri Ran's questioning gaze, the great detective Mouri Kogoro scratched the back of his head and laughed.】

On the Reverse Reverse Side.】

Conan figured something out, his face was a bit pale, and his forehead was covered in sweat.】

In fact, the problem is very simple.】

In that person's world, mythology is a grand ritual that imprisons the gods.】

The gods do not need faith.】

On the contrary, faith is the energy source for humans to imprison the gods.】

Then the question arises.】

Has human faith in gods in the modern world weakened or strengthened?】

What changed this situation?】

It's technology...】

Thinking of those scientists in history who made major contributions and were mostly believers in gods, Conan trembled in fear.】

No way.】

Shouldn't it be because of the era?】

……..

"First point, I suspect that at least the birth of technology in that world was pushed by the gods, used to dismantle the cage called 'mythology'."】

Mutual Aid Society Building.】

Solemn and majestic conference hall.】

The projector was playing a documentary, and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka explained solemnly.】

"Second point, which is the origin of the Godslayer that person mentioned, is not humanity, but the gods."】

Taking a deep breath, he continued: "The reason is very simple, because what the gods feared was never human power."】

"But human creativity, possibility, and the ability to create miracles in adversity, which are what humans are most proud of."】

On both sides of the conference table.】

Kazuma and Hideyoshi were both solemn: "Indeed, the great achievements of Heroic Spirits in their lifetime are the embodiment of this kind of miracle."】

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka sneered: "Killing gods and usurping authority... hmph, it sounds blood-boiling, but it indeed stifles the future of humanity's most outstanding heroes, solidifying them at the moment of killing the god."】

The rest... is nothing more than the stacking of authority.】

But when it comes to the application of authority, who can compare to the gods, these incarnations of natural concepts?!"】

………

"Killing gods as a mortal, the probability of this is a thousand or ten thousand times lower than becoming a Heroic Spirit.】

Those who can succeed are probably the top of the pyramid in human history, regardless of talent, luck, or will.】

Changing for others to become a Godslayer is a step to the sky, but for those who can become a Godslayer, it is indeed the greatest stifling!!!"】

"Damn, too damn insidious."】

"More than that, think about it, having the power of a hegemon who can kill gods and rule one Reverse Reverse Side, as well as an immortal lifespan, such a possibility of stepping to the sky, who wouldn't go crazy?】

Everyone is thinking about how to kill gods, and even actively summoning disobedient gods, leading to the deviation of the direction of magic progress.】

The top talents become Godslayers and have their futures locked.】

The second-Third Third Tier ones are ground to death by this meat grinder, burning out humanity's foundation, damn, too damn vicious."】

After figuring it out, the whole world felt a sense of horror.】

Too damn ruthless.】

It seems to be letting people step to the sky, it seems to be targeting the gods, but in fact, it is sacrificing their own kind and stifling humanity's possibilities.】

Restricting the progress of magic, all of you go summon gods to kill them, or develop technology.】

Anyway, nuclear weapons are meaningless to gods.】

Not just them.】

The Servants in the sky obviously figured this out faster.】

………

【"A brilliant and exquisite conspiracy; the one who set this strategy is probably the enemy of humanity."】

【The red-haired giant was sighing, but his eyes were radiating astonishing killing intent.】

【Even in legend, he is the son of Zeus, the dividing line between gods and men, but he is a King.】

【King of the human empire.】

【Regardless of the past or future, even if facing his father who is the King of Gods, as long as he stands on the opposing Reverse Reverse Side of humanity, he will surely kill him with the sword in his hand.】

【"Sure enough, things like gods shouldn't exist in the present world."】

【The blonde King clearly had the appearance of a beautiful girl, but her tone carried a chilling coldness.】

【The Golden King sneered: "Sure enough, gods are all damn mongrels."】

【The man sighed and shook his head: "At that time, I was young and vigorous, too arrogant, believing that under my fist, I was invincible, and who else but me could eradicate the gods' shadows? Arbitrarily deciding the future of humanity with my own will..."】

【Caster, did you die on the road to eradicating the gods?】

【The Servants present and the Masters watching had complex gazes.】

【They seemed to see a lonely figure, holding a magic spear and charging into the gods; what kind of spirit, what kind of loneliness...】

【"Caster, do you regret it?"】

【Gilgamesh's gaze was cold, and his voice was icy to the bone: "As a King, bearing the future of the people, where is the arrogance?"】

【Precisely because he acknowledged the man in front of him as a King, he could not tolerate such ugliness.】

【"Regret?"】

【The man chuckled, and cruel blood-colored electric arcs rose from the magic spear in his hand: "The existence of a so-called Godslayer is just a corner of a complete ritual, but when seven Godslayers are gathered, the Last King will be awakened, releasing the imprisoned gods, bringing the end of everything... so I couldn't tolerate this ending..."】

【He closed his eyes, as if reminiscing: "I did indeed regret it, regretted not killing the remaining gods, regretted my own naivety, regretted not waiting for the admiration behind me..."】

【"Is this the reason you responded to the Holy Grail, Caster?"】

【The blonde King held the invisible sword tightly, her gaze complex.】

【The next moment.】

【The man opened his eyes and said decisively: "Holy Grail? I don't need to entrust such a delusional thing."】

【The blonde King's face stiffened.】

【"Hahahaha, it seems this King misunderstood you." Gilgamesh laughed loudly: "Caster, encountering a hero like you in this Holy Grail War is worthy of this King's descent, then which great god sent you to your grave?"】

【"Old news, just clouds and sea, not worth mentioning." The man chuckled, held the magic spear and slashed: "Shall we not decide the winner, Hero King?"】

……….

【Six kilometers away from the abyss.】

【On the roof of the shopping mall.】
