MTL - Humans Are Falling Apart, Just In the Moon, Science God-Chapter 199
So who can guess what May is going to do at this time.
Not to mention anything else, obviously, Aleister already had a hunch when he got here, and the next conversation will probably subvert his life.
This is not surprising, from the perspective of magic, this is the role of spiritual perception.
In fact, as a magician who belongs to the Golden Dawn and is the pinnacle of human beings, although he cannot be called a specialization, Aleister still knows a thing or two about pendulum divination and crystal ball prophecy.

Chapter 308 Post-Victorian 5K
Of course, Aleister is particularly good at tarot compared to pendulum divination and crystal balls.
In general, Tarot cards, known as "the mysteries of nature", are recognized as an ancient divination tool in the West. They have been popular in Europe since the Middle Ages, and their status is equivalent to China's "Book of Changes". Its origin has always been a mystery.
But tarot cards have always been claimed to be able to analyze and predict people, events, and things, and because tarot in the West always gives people a feeling of being linked to fate.
As for Aleister himself, he has not only read the "Wet Tarot", which symbolizes the crystallization of the wisdom of the Golden Dawn and the supreme mystery of the Tarot.
In the future, Aleister also created the magic book "Tottaro", so how could Aleister like this not have an opinion of destiny.
"In this world, all the destiny of the universe is fixed in advance."
"It can be called the ultimate in fatalism. From the movement of atoms, to the rise and fall of a country and even the lifespan of the universe, everything in this world has long been predestined by the devil."
But at this time, accompanied by an indifferent voice, in the dim church, it sounded under the holy emblem of the Crusaders.
"So, is this the answer to the Demon God?"
After hearing May's words, Aleister was still very sad.
Not surprisingly, although Aleister has already tried to cross the abyss once at this point in time, when it comes to understanding the power of the Demon God, Aleister still has a limited understanding.
Thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising. After all, in the original book, the great demon Coronzon ignorantly said such words as the devil.
Of course, from the perspective of outside the script, we all know how slapped the face is.
In fact, the devil in the forbidden world, it is not very difficult to achieve success.
What is a Demon God - A Demon God does not refer to being born as a god, but sublimated by human beings. It is a great cause that can only be accomplished by humans who meet special conditions after an astronomical amount of preparation work.
—There is no doubt that the Demon God of the forbidden world is the ultimate point that can be achieved by human technology, the ultimate form of a magician. Norse mythology, Hinduism, Buddhism, Greek mythology, Mayan mythology, witchcraft, Shinto, Shugendo, etc., etc., these "Tao" are the ultimate
In contrast, although the magic of the forbidden world has been a technique of "exchanging one for ten, creating miracles" from the very beginning, ordinary magicians are even more able to treat the conservation of matter as waste paper.
But the Demon God, as the ultimate magic in this world, almost everything in the universe can be changed by just a thought of the Demon God.
The arrangement and description of the level of the Demon God at the Golden Dawn can tell what kind of existence the Demon God is. As a person who has attained the Tao standing in the field of 9=2, a person who has achieved wisdom, in the largest and broadest sense, masters all Magic, completely ignoring resistance from inside and outside, master of the law of impermanence. How could the devil be so successful?
In fact, as I said before, even Aleister himself, the most powerful magician in the world in the legends of later generations, is even eligible to be recorded in the New Testament "Bible" as Aleister Claw. Lee also failed once while crossing the abyss.
At that time, if Aleister Crowley's students hadn't been bewitched, I'm afraid Aleister Crowley's body would have been captured by the great demon Coronzon.
Although behind this incident is another magician at the pinnacle of the man, who was supposed to guide the young Edward into the magic gate in history, but in the end, Mathers, who turned his face with Edward who had become Aleister, was behind the scenes. , but it can also be seen that the magician wants to reach the devil's difficulty.
"Devil? Well, it seems that you have understood the truth of this world."
On the other hand, Mei, who is obviously a physics **** in essence, still explains the concept of a demon **** with a magician like Aleister, so I don't know what to say.
Well, at best, maybe this is the end of alternative science is theology?
Let’s be honest, it’s not uncommon for scientists to study theology.
The representative figures are Newton, who is known as the "father of modern physics", and Einstein, who is the recent "father of modern physics", also studied theology.
Among them, as the proponent of Newtonian mechanics, Newton can be said to have promoted the scientific progress of the world by himself, and Einstein is called the greatest scientist of the twentieth century. It can be said that these two are uncompromising Uncompromising science masters.
Not only that, Newton spent most of his life searching for the code for God to create the universe. In his later years, he intensified his research on theology, trying to prove the existence of God.
At this point, Einstein is much better, because Einstein has made it clear on many occasions that he does not believe in any religion.
Before his death, Einstein wrote a letter on religion and philosophy. "
In the letter, Einstein expounded his consistent view of God, so it was called "God's Letter" by later generations!
In the letter, Einstein used the word 'God' not to refer to the God of religion, but to 'Spinoza's God', the physical laws of the entire world.
Speaking of which, May's current state is very close to the God in Einstein's theory.
"It's really cruel, people can't live as they want, everything is not accidental, only inevitable..."
Of course, Aleister obviously didn't know May's state, but felt that it was a hot day, and her whole body was cold.
After all, this world is still not good, when will the magician be able to stand up.
Because as a magician who is the pinnacle of the world, Aleister has fully understood what the devil in Mei's mouth represents after this incident.
…………
…………
Everything is predestined, and there is no future at all.
Even more absolute than "life must die", "apples must fall from top to bottom", "one plus one equals two"... etc., etc., such things are more absolute.
Even if you reach the same destination through different ways; take different means to get the same result. The process can be different, but the agreed outcome does not change.
Directly from the depths of the soul and the origin of the soul, the cruel world truth is inscribed here. Once this oracle is accepted, life is no longer autonomous.
For that is neither a command nor a declaration, but a given fact and the fundamental law of cause and effect.
"Dr. Mei, who exactly is..."
In short, after this meeting, Aleister had countless guesses about May's identity.
Then, the reality is that at this time, Aleister has already boarded the train leaving London.
It is worth mentioning that this train is a typical coal-burning steam train. Speaking of which, in this era, the internal combustion engine has actually been born. In fact, after 1897, the internal combustion engine has gradually moved towards the express train of research and development. However, in 1900, steam trains were said to be completely phased out a little earlier.
In total, today the steam train carrying Aleister has fourteen passenger cars, three of which belong to the first-class category. The remaining eleven cars consist of four second-class cars, five third-class cars, and two dining cars, and the rest are freight cars.
Among them, there is no need to mention the carriages that carry goods. The focus is on the passenger carriages. When it comes to passenger carriages, the environment of the third-class carriages is naturally the worst. Because these carriages are too close to the locomotive, it is very easy to open the windows. There was soot wafting in and it was very crowded inside.
The first-class cars basically exist in the form of two or three private rooms in one car, and they are also equipped with specially responsible flight attendants. In a sense, it can be said to be very luxurious, but such things as class always exist. Nothing to be surprised about.
"...London, goodbye!"
Of course, in order to avoid too much attention, Aleister chose the second-class carriage when he finally left.
As for the environment of the second-class compartment, it is indeed far inferior to that of the first-class compartment, but it is one person per person. People here don’t have to worry about being robbed of their seats. In comparison, the environment of the third-class compartment is the worst.
In the third-class carriages of this era, crying babies, lethargic women, workers playing cards, smoking and drinking, and even fishermen with a smell of fish, these are the mainstream.
In addition, the weird air in the third-class compartment, the smell of sweat and all kinds of indescribable odors mixed with soot, crowded into a crowd that makes people daunting, everything will make you feel sour.
However, this is also a corner of the true face of this era. After all, for most people, even a second-class ticket in this era is not something that a middle-class family can easily afford.
At this time, the United Kingdom, represented by London, looked like a rational and restrained society of gentlemen, but behind the scenes was the outbreak of the suppressed temperament of the upper class, hiding filth, and the bottom of the society was poor and chaotic.
There have been many scandals in the upper class, such as **** clubs, etc.; the repression and conservative attitude towards human nature have also led to many tragedies; the turbulent example at the bottom is the famous "Jack the Ripper" case.
- but this is the real Victorian era.
…………
…………
However, with the passage of time, the Victorian era gradually came to an end.
At this point, it had been some years since May and Aleister last met.
The time is 1910, the first decade of the twentieth century.
Four years remain until the First World War.
The camera came to the endless Pacific Ocean.
Here, floats the Hawaiian Islands, a territory of the United States of America.
It was a tropical island group that used the "Republic of Hawaii" as the country name as a transition before the feudal monarchy of the indigenous people was overthrown by the white powers more than ten years ago.
Speaking of which, in the collapse of the multiverse, the modern Hawaiian Mei has been there, and in the United States during the Great Depression, Mei has also been there, but in this era of Hawaii, Mei has really never been there.
"...Who would have known that, thirty-one years from now, this would be the trigger for the famous Pacific War."
The streets of Honolulu are dominated by green.
Whether it's the Aboriginal style with its thatched roof or the Western style with its seamless siding, any room is shaded by the unbelievably huge leaves, and the pillars are also shaded. Tangled with vines. The courtyard is also quite large and is decorated with various colorful flowers such as lilies, geraniums, dracaena and gladiolus.
The efforts of the Hawaiian royal family, which have spent decades actively accepting Western civilization and striving to build a national attitude, have gradually paid off on the streets.
Even so, the original lush level has reached an extraordinary level, so if you look at the overall landscape, the proportion of green has been reduced a little bit.
So, at this moment, who is the beautiful scientist girl walking on the streets full of bright sunshine and the rich fragrance of water and flowers?
That's right, it's none other than Mei, who "just happens" to travel around the world.
Well, it can't be said to be just right.
After all, in Mei's style, he wouldn't come to such a place if he had nothing to do.
Standing in Honolulu not long after, May couldn't help but think of the Pearly War that would take place here in the decades to come.
By the way, a few years ago, May had said goodbye to Miracle Witch and left the UK.
The main reason is that the weight of fate on Silver Star is really unusual.
After that meeting in 1900, May suspected that, because of her own words, the changes in Aleister might have been faintly discovered by some demon gods.
Of course, Mei did not regret the conversation with Aleister. After all, since she came to the forbidden world, Mei would have to test the demon gods of this world sooner or later.
Moreover, Mei is confident that as long as she prepares well in advance, it will be difficult for even the demon gods of this world to find herself.
However, up to now, Mei still intends to do insurance, so in the past few years, when traveling around the world, Mei has not been idle.
In fact, this time, coming to Hawaii is also the last few stops of Mei's travels around the world.
At this moment, standing on Honolulu, Hawaii, Mei began to connect with the time and space nodes that she had laid in the magical forbidden world Earth in recent years.

"...What is this, a 99% full-simulation somatosensory, a 100 to 1 time ratio, a super masterpiece that spans the ages?"
So, on this day, in the void near the Magic Forbidden Universe, a so-called "cross-era" game appeared out of thin air in a world that had just been linked by Mei with signs of human civilization and was in the interstellar era.
It can only be said that Mei is already very proficient in doing this. If it wasn't for the location where Mei used this routine this time in the forbidden world, and she needed to avoid being discovered by the devil, Mei would not have to spend several years doing this.
However, up to now, it is finally successful.
[The appearance of the player will accelerate the disruption of the fate of this world and avoid the probability of me being discovered by the devil. 】
In short, by now, May's thinking has become clear.
At the same time, many professional players in the interstellar era also began to check the background of this inexplicable game world on the official website.
"...Let me see, um, does the new game's scene seem to be an old-time Earth, so retro?"
Introduction to Worldview
The world of the game "Science and Magic" can be divided into several different groups, including: Since a long time ago, it has affected the world stage in various forms, and can deal with the supernatural, mysterious, and miraculous aggregates - magic The camp; it has existed since a long time ago, but in fact, the sense of existence has increased sharply after modern times, and the scientific camp that has rewritten the common sense of the world: and the world that is strongly influenced by both sides at the same time, but does not particularly feel the existence of both sides-the general public.
However, the inner side has just begun, and the game is currently only open to a limited camp.
The following is the camp display.
【Cross religion】
Based on the Christianity of the Old Earth Age. Cross religion in a broad sense is divided into many sects, which can be roughly divided into two major sects: Catholicism (Old Religion) and Protestantism. Among them, the most powerful ones in Old Religion are the Roman Orthodox Church centered on the Vatican, and the Russian Orthodox Church based in Russia. , with St. George's Cathedral as the core of the Anglican Church.
【Roman Orthodox】
The largest denomination among the Crusaders, with two billion followers in the world, governed by a pope and 141 cardinals, with churches in 113 countries, and various internal Such a faction, the Pope is elected.
【English Puritanism】
One of the three major factions of the old crucifixion in the UK, it is particularly developed in the culture and technology of "magicians" such as witch hunting, heresy interrogation, and inquisition. In the 16th century, King Henry VIII of England fought against Roman Orthodoxy. The independent cross religion system established in its own country is also the state religion of the United Kingdom. On the surface, the headquarters of the Anglican Church is located in Canterbury Cathedral, but the actual decision-making power has been completely transferred to St. George's Cathedral. There are many internal factions and complex forces. Although it is one of the three factions in the United Kingdom, the "Cavaliers" in the United Kingdom have a higher class than the "Puritans".
【Orleans Knights】
The largest magical association in France, a professional fighting group dedicated to revenge in history
It was originally attracted by the personality of Joan of Arc, which is different from the official combat power, and was formed by the people with lofty ideals who silently supported her behind her back. They are not specialised as a special "organization" that uses magic, they just hold the purpose of saving France and have nothing to do with identity or status or family background. "A strange "organization" for the purpose.
【Golden Dawn】
