Chapter 147

——Deep beneath the deep sea, on the ruins of a prehistoric civilization……

——A crashed alien spaceship suddenly appeared without any warning……

No matter how you look at it, it is an extremely abrupt matter, completely the kind where the art style suddenly changes, the twist catching one off guard — a divine development.

Xia Zhi's first reaction was also to find it somewhat abrupt, but he likewise understood very quickly, almost immediately thinking of the most likely situation for this spaceship…… That's right, he might actually know the origin of this thing.

After all, thinking carefully, indeed only that answer can match up.

That should be——

The divine body of one of the Twelve Olympians…… the so-called Machine God True Body.

Although this is also his first time seeing this thing, the truth is probably just this.

Because it is said that the origin of Greek Mythology is actually an alien interstellar fleet from beyond a planet, which arrived on Earth in the prehistoric era. And the primitive humans at that time probably could not understand the existence of this interstellar fleet, so they came up with the most primitive explanation.

Primitive humans regarded the functions of the cosmic starships as Divine Authority, worshipped the fleet as Gods, devised Personalities for the Gods, and compiled Mythology. This interstellar fleet thereby gained a new Meaning of Existence on Earth, transforming from mere alien spaceships into Machine Gods.

That is the earliest Origin and beginning of Greek Mythology.

Even the Master Lady of Chaldea has spoken of this matter——

Because before arriving at this Britain Fairy Kingdom Lostbelt, she and her Companions from Chaldea had just cleared the fifth Lostbelt, which happened to be the Lostbelt controlled by the Greek Gods.

With the personal testimony of such an experiencer, the Credibility naturally becomes even higher.

Xia Zhi therefore naturally associated this Intelligence, and Corresponded them. Moreover, on this Planet, for the time being nothing else can be found that can be linked to an alien spaceship.

Of Course, the most important Clue among them is mainly because this spaceship appeared on this Battlefield, and this sunken Continent Battlefield is the result of the battle with the White Giant God.

This naturally makes it even easier to link them together.

……………………

Pitch black……

Freezing cold……

Deep and unfathomable……

The seabed is so Quiet, there are no Creatures at all, neither fish nor Giant Beasts to be seen, the sunken land and prehistoric civilization ruins are like a dead silent giant cemetery, only the dead and the buried remain silent and speechless.

The end brought by the White Destruction thoroughly Destroyed the laws and World on the Planet's Surface.

Those flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, all met an Impartial fate; it's not like deep-sea species could escape the catastrophe.

When the Continent collapsed and sank, and the Oceans thoroughly Boiled, what could escape the arrival of that Equal death?

However, in such an Environment, Xia Zhi is instead happy and relaxed, no need to worry about anything popping out to disturb his archaeology, excavation, and research work.

He Walked a few rounds on the pitch-black dim seabed, treating the heavy water pressure as nothing, strolling leisurely around that huge broken Starship examining it carefully. This Starship's scale is indeed extremely huge, even severed from the middle it is still several Kilometers long.

And a part of it is inserted into the underground beneath the seabed, so the actual size is even larger.

——Lying quietly across the dark ocean abyss, like a sleeping Titan Giant……

——emmmmm…… Perhaps this is also a source of Inspiration for part of the Mythology?

Such a huge Steel Giant Beast, who knows what terrifying firepower systems it once possessed, and considering this is an alien spaceship capable of crossing the Star Sea, its Functions might be even more Exaggerated.

Let alone the prehistoric era when primitive humans lived, even placed in the Twenty-first Century, placed in modern civilization just entering the early Space Age from the post-atomic era, it is an Absolute Dimension Reduction Strike.

The technology gap is probably not a matter of one or two Generations……

Only able to launch Orbital Satellites, build Space Stations, explore the Moon and Mars to a certain extent…… such a civilization perhaps cannot be called backward, but suddenly facing the Descent of an alien spaceship capable of long-distance interstellar travel, they would not be much stronger than uncivilized species.

Without exaggeration, this is also the level of being able to easily sweep an entire Planet, Destroy an entire Civilization.

——As for specifically one day, three days, or a week?

——Anyway, there's no difference.

Therefore it is no wonder this alien spaceship would be worshipped as a God by primitive humans in the prehistoric civilization period; that terrifying Function of interstellar warship class, to the prehistoric civilization at that time, was nothing but another form of Divine Authority.

Just a pity, the Planet this fleet arrived at was not an Ordinary background Earth, but an Earth where Devils danced in chaos; the result was not only could they not dominate, they tragically perished at the hands of even stronger alien invaders.

Can only say it was purely bad luck.

"Indeed a very valuable 'Technique', just don't know, destroyed to this extent, and after such a long time of erosion, how much useful information is actually preserved……"

Xia Zhi Thoughtfully examined the broken Starship, finally his Gaze moved, landing on that obvious Fracture.

This is very obviously the most tragic Fatal wound, completely tearing the Starship's special metal hull, even the internal structural body was pulverized, causing this Machine God to perish just like that…… The other section, unknown if it was completely destroyed, or Scattered in other places?

He Casually Scanned the Surroundings, the deep sea a piece of gloom, the light Environment not very suitable for viewing.

Although the Influence on him is not very large, but to find the other broken scattered hull in the vast seabed, not to say it's finding a needle in a haystack, it's about the same.

Especially after tens of thousands of years of erosion by time, everything has been worn away, any Aura, Magnetic Field, Energy Reaction, and so on various fluctuations, have all dissipated without a trace, no traces at all, wanting to Lock On but having no way to start.

But not searching won't do either——

An alien spaceship sample lies right before his eyes, Xia Zhi feels his Origin stirring restlessly.

That impulse and primordial Directionality penetrating chaotic myriad generations, harboring the 'Technique' behind the desire to obtain this precious sample.

Analysis will definitely have difficulty, so as much as possible gather this sample, make it more complete, and the difficulty of analysis and Reverse Engineering can be significantly reduced, success rate increased…… So he definitely won't let this Opportunity slip by easily.

Toes lightly leaving the Ground, Xia Zhi floated upward, Arriving at that huge Fracture, looking into the Starship interior.

Pitch black all around……

Not a single ray of light, like a black hole devouring everything……

He pondered slightly, then straightforwardly floated inside, encountering no obstacles.

The hull structure is not Complex, but many areas are locked dead, and he doesn't want to destroy them now, so he temporarily shelved the search, turning to explore the accessible areas. Browsed through roughly, discovered only four areas could be investigated.

One suspected power room, only the engine has completely stopped……

One suspected Main Kong Zhi Shi, but no Reaction at all……

As for the other two areas, he also Can't Understand what Function they serve, even pure Speculation is very difficult, after all the technology used by this Starship, and what kind of intelligent beings the Civilization that manufactured this Starship were, all completely Unknown.

Therefore naturally also no way to immediately understand, how the other side manufactured the spaceship, and how they used the spaceship.

Even the Main Kong Zhi Shi and power room these two, are based on experience blind guesses, as for the other two areas can't even guess, just looking at those Facilities that can't be understood even looking at them, completely unable to Imagine what those areas were designed to do.

Unless the Machine God corresponding to this starship could appear directly and give him a one-on-one explanation.

Only...

That was obviously impossible now.

Xia Zhi wandered around the area suspected to be the Main Kong Zhi Shi for quite a while, but he could neither activate anything nor trigger any reaction.

It seemed that due to long-term disrepair, it was completely destroyed; not only had the hull itself lost its energy supply, but even trying to infuse magical energy and spirit particles into it could not reignite it... Of course, it was also possible that he just hadn't found the right method.

Lowering his palm from the crystal similar to a control console, the youth shook his head.

Indeed, it wasn't that simple; it was unrealistic to expect to just happen to encounter a goddess clinging to life and in desperate need of help.

In the IF Timeline where the White Giant won and the world on the planet's surface was completely destroyed, the Greek Chief God was probably long dead.

In the correct history, the White Giant invaded Earth, crushing the prehistoric civilization and gods together, until it was finally pierced by the light of the Holy Sword.

And in this process, the Twelve Olympians met the same fate; losing their Machine God bodies, the civilization wreckage drifted to the Greece region. Although they survived, they became purely conceptual gods, no different from other Earth Divine Spirits.

As for the Lostbelt of Greek Mythology that Fujimaru Ritsuka experienced—

it was where the Great God Zeus forcibly integrated the power of other Machine Gods, relying on the functions of the entire interstellar fleet to directly take down the invading White Giant in one go.

As for this current Britain Lostbelt, it was even more of a mess; its early course was the same as Pan-Human History, but its late course happened to diverge, resulting in no Machine God stopping the White Giant early on, and no Holy Sword being forged later to turn the tide.

It was truly a timeline where every key option was chosen wrong, leading the whole world toward destruction.

He left the interior of the hull, spent some time dragging this half-hull into his personal storage warehouse, then looked around the surrounding seabed, finding nothing else.

Instead, he found some equally interesting things...

Such as the bones of giants and dragons, though they weren't as well-preserved as the half-starship; the skeletons were quite incomplete...

It seemed to show how tragic the resistance war that once occurred on this sunken continent was, with gods, civilizations, and Phantasmal Species all fighting desperately with full effort...

However, it did not change that ending.

Xia Zhi collected some samples as well, then looked at that huge pit, not knowing what attack made it or how deep it was, deep as if it were a bottomless hole leading to the center of the Earth.

He was about to walk over when he suddenly felt an extremely strong vibration.

Earthquake on the seabed?

Wait, no, this strange tremor didn't seem to be on the material level!

The youth raised an eyebrow, and at the same time noticed ripples in the space around him, with strange Gravitational Lensing phenomena occurring one after another.

It seemed some disturbance had occurred in the spacetime of the outside world; a change like a spacetime fault, combined with a subtle reaction and conflict between his Self-Gravity System built through "Gravity Manipulation EX," formed this phenomenon.

Xia Zhi frowned and shot straight up, rising from the seabed to the sea surface in an extremely short time, exploding huge waves!

He did not stop, but continued accelerating, instantly rising from beneath the seabed to an altitude of ten thousand meters in the clouds.

Just at that moment, the "tremor" that only he could feel stopped.

"Huh?"

The moment the strange gravitational phenomenon disappeared, he slightly pulled the corner of his mouth, suddenly discovering a passenger plane appearing from clouds not far away, flying past toward his direction.

He lightly turned his body, exchanged a glance with several pairs of eyes wide open subconsciously behind the porthole, and passed by in that instant.

—What's going on?

—Was that spacetime disturbance just now... did I transmigrate?

Xia Zhi turned around in mid-air, squinting at the departing passenger plane, while simultaneously spreading his perception to the fullest.

Huh?

He suddenly discovered that it seemed he hadn't transmigrated...

but that passenger plane had come through?
