Dragon Nation: Fujimaru-san is saving the world

Chapter 348 Riddles, Say Riddles Again! ! ! (two in one)

What is the meaning of the birth of life?

In the distant age of the gods, in the mysterious early days, the great, deep-black emperor once divided his authority and gave it to the four creatures under his throne.

The term of living being is wrong, because it is too noble, that kind of existence may only be called [life], not [creature].

They can never reach death.

They have the power to shake the world.

They are born with absolutely obedient attendants.

For them, the world is uninteresting, orderly, and static.

In the words of the 21st century, this world is probably metaphysical to them. Norton does not have a deep understanding of philosophy. He spends most of his limited time studying e-sports and scientific books for humans in this era. .

All in all, the Dragon King is an absolutely perfect creature.

If it is said that human beings have the essence and obligation of evolution, then it is really hard to imagine that the end point of their evolution will be anything other than the Dragon King, right?

After Norton came to this world, the first thing he did was to wake up his twin brother from his deep sleep, and the second thing was to take it around to observe the world.

Inevitably, his first target was the existence named Fujimaru Tachika.

Because of this, he went to Japan.

In that country, in order to obtain information, he invaded the local mixed-race organization, which seems to be called Snaki Hachika, deliberately left a little information of "invasion failure" in disguise, and what he really hoped for has already been obtained. .

For Norton, who stands at the pinnacle of alchemy, whether it is memory intrusion or time regression is a simple operation, even if the modern mysteries have faded and the source is exhausted, as long as it is not true "time regression" and It is still possible to "reproduce past images" to such an extent.

He saw a man named Herzog, and this man made a deep impression on him.

He has been distinguished from all mixed races since he was a child, and he is incompatible with all human beings. He thinks he is special, and in fact he does have the qualifications to touch the truth.

Even Norton couldn't help admiring the results of genetic engineering.

Even Norton couldn't help but look sideways at the other party's pursuit and fanaticism of becoming a dragon king and a perfect creature.

Because I can't bear it.
Can't help it.
To mock that folly.

Do not misunderstand.

It's not "humans can't become Dragon Kings".

Although it is said that the probability is infinitely close to zero, there are still ideas and possibilities.

The reality that Norton laughed at was—

"Herzog can't be Dragon King"

This is the absolute reality.

Judging from the conclusion just now, this sentence seems contradictory, because Herzog belongs to human beings. Since human beings have opportunities, why is Herzog alone?

yeah why?

Why did Herzog fail in those thousands or tens of thousands of calculations?

Why, is this an absolutely unchangeable reality?

【There is something in this world that cannot be changed】

When did you first notice this strangeness?

As the Lord of Bronze and Fire, and at the same time the apex of alchemy, only such an existence can perceive it.

[The world is fixed. 】

During the Age of Gods, when his "future vision" was still complete, Norton could easily observe in units of millennia and simulate millions of possibilities in these millennia.

The future is different, but it is also full of disobedience.

For example, in all futures, I will be pushed to the god position of Sumerian mythology, and then break with human beings.

In all futures, he will be killed by Odin and then fall into a deep sleep.

In all futures, the history of mankind will continue, and then the death of King Arthur will be the dividing line to end the age of gods.

[Parallel World Intersection Theory]

This theory will be unraveled by a genius after a long time in the human world. Because of his uniqueness, Norton understood it not long after he was born.

The history of the world is a ribbon-shaped continuation, no matter how it spreads out, it will eventually converge at one or several points.

- Some things can never be changed.

He named this kind of event [convergence point].

The confluence point is a node in the history of the world that will never change. It is often a certain event, such as the death of a certain existence, or the achievement of a certain race.

In terms of time other than the converging point, the world will have countless ways of development.

In these development methods, the more you observe a certain future, the greater the probability that that world line will become your established future.

In later generations, this seems to be called the "observer effect".

The observed future will collapse in possibility, and finally become an unchangeable reality.

But because future viewing itself is not the privilege of one person, there are countless observers, so the future becomes turbulent and swaying, resulting in randomness.

Well, after all, it's just random on parallel beamlines, and they all end up converging.

After understanding this matter, Norton also fell into confusion for a while. During the Age of Gods, the rumors that "Norton is a tyrannical monarch no less than the black king" mostly came from this matter.

The world is fixed, there is no way to change it, but I can see through everything.

The pain, the all-knowing fear and rage, was almost unbearable for Norton.

In the beginning, he was arrogant and cruel, and he would sneer when he saw Yermungandr have feelings for humans, because he could see that it was a kind of longing—a luxury from the Dragon King, from that kind of perfect creature.
[Get yourself out of perfection and become a mortal].

Jormungandr longs to be human.

Norton tried his best to ridicule this, and even forced Constantine to sever contact with Yermungard, but he actually knew.
The reason why I care so much is because of fear.

I am afraid that one day I will not be able to bear the price of "omniscience".

Time passed slowly, and the Dragon King who was unwilling to believe at the beginning also had the heroism of "my fate is up to me". He has made all preparations. As the king of alchemy, as long as he is willing to prepare his workshop wholeheartedly, then Logically speaking, he is the most invincible existence on the Four Thrones.

Omniscient and omnipotent.

But it still lost.

Odin pretended to start a war with himself while uniting with humans, relying on humans to defeat him.

Obviously none of those millions of futures appeared, but as long as I deviate from those futures, in order to reach the established node of "Norton will lose to Odin", a new future will be born until I can move myself kill.

[Conclusion point] Successfully ushered in the conclusion.

This time failure was the fuse.

Norton let go even though he tried everything but could not resist the fear of fate.

Finally, he made a decision.

Turn off your future vision.

The all-knowing Dragon King absolutely denies his own omniscience. That kind of ability should not be undertaken by any beings with the ability to think and have "humanity".

In the second generation of Norton's life, he had already given up all his grand ambitions such as seizing the throne of the Black King. Baidi City was established as a workshop.

He was tired and just wanted to live a good life with Constantine.

However, just when he was about to completely let go of the future, he accidentally saw——

death.

his death.

Norton will usher in a real death.

In the future, he seemed to be pierced through the heart by an orange-haired girl.

For dragons, piercing the heart is by no means fatal.

The consensus of mankind is that if you want to kill dragons, you must rely on weapons with the "Sage's Stone", because the flesh of dragons is almost indestructible, and even if the flesh is completely destroyed, it can still be reborn through cocooning.

The Philosopher's Stone contains spiritual elements, which can kill dragons from the spiritual level.

The theory is correct, but in fact, if you want to kill the huge spiritual element of the Dragon King, the Philosopher's Stone the size of a bullet is not enough at all.

The spirit is the trajectory of life. Constantine's shallow experience may not make his spiritual elements so rich, but Norton's spiritual elements are second only to the existence of the White King, Odin and other dragons in the world.

Generally speaking, Norton is not dead.

But in those countless futures, he will be killed, tortured and killed by a girl named Fujimaru Tachika.

The girl has spiritual elements comparable to the Dragon King, and she herself is a giant Philosopher's Stone!
Combat ability, combat talent, on-the-spot adaptability——

All are monster level.

Although Norton tried to expand his future vision, he gave up after discovering that even if the number of future observations was increased to millions, the level of tens of millions would not change.

If he had a good relationship with Fujimaru Tachika in advance, he would be exposed by a mixed race named Anger, and finally killed by an unobservable existence in the melee.

The existence that cannot be observed in the future view can only be an existence with a higher personality than himself. Norton can probably guess the identity of the other party, after all, there are only a few available places.

And if he threatens Fujimaru Tachika with civilians, the girl will kill herself like an explosion.

If he chooses to run away, he will be followed by Odin and hunted down to death.

如果
No if.

He accepted his own death frankly.

Although it is said that dragons should not have come to an end, Norton, who has lived for so long, thinks that he has tasted all the joys and rights in the world.

If it was just his own death, Norton would probably say "oh" and accept it.

but--

In that life in Baidi City, Norton saw the truth of [Convergence Point].

The closing point does not end with Norton's death.

Instead, it ends with the death of the 【King of Bronze and Fire】.

in short.
Constantine would die too.

Different from the previous ones——

It is total death.

Most of the time, Constantine would not die at the hands of the girl named Fujimaru Tachika, but would be hacked to death by Angers' jackknife that could kill the Dragon King, or by that unobservable shadow, Even died at the hands of other hybrids.

Constantine is different from himself, he has too many weaknesses.

So I should have protected him.

In the last period of time in Baidi City, the man frantically began to think about how to break the absoluteness of the [convergence point], but he couldn't get a solution in the end.

In the end, he was led by Odin's power and went to war with human hybrids. In that battle, he was killed almost without any resistance.

Because the future cannot be changed.

【Killed in Baidi City】

Although it is not death in the true sense, it is also part of the [Convergence Point].

myself will die.

Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Failed Failed Failed Failed Failed Failed Failed Failed Failed Failed Failed.
No matter how hard you struggle
doomed ending point
fate.

What a disgusting vocabulary.
Whether it is the dragon race or human beings, do they have to play annoying dramas under this kind of vocabulary, just live like this, and then die?

The scariest thing in this world is knowing that the person you love the most will die.

What is more terrifying than this is that this death cannot be changed.

And the fear that transcends this supreme is that only one person knows about it.

If nothing else happened, Norton should have completely collapsed after this and gave up struggling.

until he met that person.
[Oh~ Parallel world theory, have you studied this too? 】

In 1513, Norton was in the Duchy of Milan.

The frustrated Norton met his first human "acquaintance" in his life.

Leonardo da Vinci.

Although this relationship was due to many factors such as Norton's reservedness of the Dragon King at the time, Da Vinci did not become a so-called "friend" relationship with Norton, but there is no doubt that the apex of human wisdom and the apex of the dragon technology tree The Dragon King met.

Norton, who lost his fighting spirit, and Da Vinci, a self-proclaimed weak scientific researcher, did not show any signs of fighting from the beginning. After living under the hunt of the organization for a period of time, the two also began to chat about various things.

Be it alchemy, science, or painting, architecture...
In today's terms, Norton is considered a superman in science and technology, and his curiosity about things is quite strong. He can only see the future, but Norton did not use it to experience too much, so when he saw the Mona Lisa The birth of the painting is still quite surprising.

But the most discussed between the two is probably the theory of parallel worlds.

Like Norton, Da Vinci also saw through the composition of the parallel world theory and knew the existence of [Convergence Point], but she devoted herself to how to upload her consciousness to Da Vinci's network for fun. On the contrary, I don't care.

And Norton didn't tell Da Vinci that he would die in the future, because if Da Vinci knew, it would be equivalent to increasing the number of observers, and the established possibility of the future would also increase.

Although, it doesn't matter how much you add to the [-]% established facts.

The two spent a peaceful period of time there, exchanging ideas with each other. It happened to be the Renaissance period, and in a sense, the two were doing things that were quite in line with the background of the times.

In the end, Norton helped Da Vinci make a plan to prove 70.00% of the parallel world theory, which is [the plan to build Da Vinci's network through roots].

Although it is a bit strange to say this, Norton actually has a sense of accomplishment. Even the Dragon King is quite impressed by the plan conceived by a genius.

And the friendship between the two gradually deepened. He and Constantine wandered in Rome and Florence with Da Vinci until the last moment.

Leonardo da Vinci died in Amboise, France in 1519.

Obviously he saw such a future, but he didn't tell her.

And Da Vinci seemed to have expected it long before his death, and did not comment on Norton's "unknown" behavior.

She just left her last words, asking Norton to return to the Duchy of Milan and find the original design as a parting gift.

Norton got the proposal called "Da Vinci Network", 70.00% of which was the joint participation of the two, and the remaining 30.00% was the result of Da Vinci's independent thinking.

That is, there are ideas about [Root Root] and [Hall of Valor].

She intends to use her own death as a test.

Norton should have marveled at the greatness of this genius who shared his sympathy with him, but he couldn't.

Only then did he realize that this was Da Vinci's last gift to himself.

【Hall of Valhalla】

【source】

can do it.

Norton thought suddenly.

[I have a way to get Constantine out of this death vortex. 】

A higher level.
To think deeper.
Crazier, more absolute.
Make this world out of observation, let this world become a world of absolute freedom.

He seems to have found a way to get rid of his fate.

He wanted Constantine to live.

The dragon king named Norton changed that day.

The only confidant who could understand him, the genius passed away, and Norton quietly waited for the era when the crazy plan in his mind would come true after his death.

wait
And hope.

*
"... Is it still not that simple after all?"

In the depths of Chigui River, Norton's body opened its eyes.

As a matter of course, as the cautious and insane King of Bronze and Fire, Norton could not allow himself to go to the United States without making any preparations. Although there is indeed a trace of a human named Lu Mingfei in his heart, Norton's goal It is impossible to change in.

Those who went to the United States were Norton's "shadow fighters" from the very beginning.

but--

Unexpectedly, there were unexpected gains.

【Little Man in a Bottle】

The life that symbolizes the essence of alchemy is not created by human hands, but a miracle that can only be touched by the highest-level alchemist and exhausted his life's efforts.

- Link to roots from birth.

——From birth, he has a vision beyond the dragon.

The concept of alchemy was born on this planet. Although Norton is known as the ancestor of alchemy, in fact, his own power is also given by others.

The end of the world.

The Dark Emperor.
The concept of alchemy was born by the black king, and that king is also connected to the origin of the world and the door called truth, and the so-called [Little Man in a Bottle] is to create a "human being" by "reaching the pinnacle of alchemy". Black King Vessel” process.

Once it succeeds, it will be equivalent to creating the key to connect the Black King, the root, and the real world, a treasure that countless alchemists flock to.

Because this in itself is a gem-like miracle, the alchemist who can do this can almost only be the alchemist who has grasped [Truth].

And of all the guys Norton knew, only one guy would ever plan to make something like this
"Odin, that guy. Hasn't given up on that ridiculous ideal."

Norton mourned his compatriots in a sleepy tone, but the negativity was not aimed at Odin, but at himself.

[Little Man in a Bottle] is a miracle that can hardly be reproduced in modern times. Even Norton needs to spend nearly a hundred years to be sure, but at Odin's level, it is probably the only one that has been produced after at least a thousand years of simulation calculations. exist.

Chen Motong was special, that's why Norton was so excited when he met her.

Once you have her, all your plans can be simplified.

but.
[How about it, do you want to fight? 】

The boy's question still seemed to remain in his mind. When Norton stroked his neck with his fingers, he felt that the circle around his neck seemed to be wrapped in cold tingling pain.

I didn't expect that existence to be willing to protect Chen Motong.

And the reason turned out to be for Fujimaru Tatsuka.

The "hero" who was destined to kill the Lord of Bronze and Fire and Norton.

Sure enough, my [fate] will never be on my side.

That.
"Just follow the original plan."

Norton looked up, and he could clearly feel that on the surface of Chigui River, the terrifying aura surged toward the depths like mercury pouring down the ground.

Although it is a hypocritical emperor, it has reached the height of genuine products.

Then
Let's deal with it a little bit.

　ps: All series of fate seem to be a process of reconciliation and recognition between characters and fate in the end-but the author, as a primary school student who has just entered the sixth grade (), is not very accepting of "King Arthur must die" and "*** must die in ***" and the like.

　　Maybe it's because you prefer man to conquer nature over natural human rights? (No, no, these two words are not used in this way at all)

　　No way, elementary school students are like this ()

　　In short, the foreshadowing is basically buried. In fact, it is the same as before. I still stuffed a lot of small details in the book, but because I am too lazy to write them out one by one, so... ahem, maybe it has not been discovered.

　　The inescapable future and ending point have always been the themes of the fate series.

　　Of course, the two are not the same thing.

　　To put it simply, even if you get rid of the converging point, it doesn't mean you won't be judged. Well, the setting and plot will be discussed later.

　　As I said before, I will give each dragon king a theme that looks like a moon like the king of the Lost Belt,

　　Norton's subject is——

　　【How to go beyond the converging point and free the world from its fate】

　　Ok.

　　How to do it?
　　I do not know. (touches neck)
　　Take it as if you are redeeming Kenneth ()
