Nemo reached out and grabbed the microphone in front of him.

"Next, this ship will deploy Nemo's Noble Phantasm. Please prepare for the impact—so, are you all ready?! Then, the pyroxene engine maximizes the energy supply!"

"Wow (the person in charge of aiming is on the deck, so he roughly adjusted the direction)!"

"Meow (now the nautilus can't dive, and the periscope is useless)!"

"Aww (don't expect animals to understand math formulas, I just filled them in)!!"

"Ah, this thing called Chongjiao consumes a lot of electricity, over."

"Painting to learn to disguise, remove!! Oh oh, I feel like I have become five years younger by shouting like this! [Very shy? Daddy, don't use my body to do stupid things?]. Ah Rong, you really don't look like a young man. "

Then, Lixiang felt a strange force aimed at him.

"Wait, I have to say it too? Well, let me think about it... Tonight's dinner is a full barbecue meal!!"

"Very good, in perfect condition, Captain Nemo will never forgive anyone who disturbs the sea! Let's go—"

At this moment, the Ark Nautilus, which is absolutely deformable at a glance, begins to transform.The organs on both sides of the hull popped forward, forming a huge attack horn at the bow.

"[I will go on an expedition, Nautilus's Great Ram Nautilus]!!!"

The speed of the huge submarine soared to supersonic speed in an instant, and it slammed into the huge plant fortress that cut off the sea.

The Nautilus entered the range of the Plant Fortress in less than a few seconds, and countless lights, plant missiles, plant tentacles, and flower essences flooded towards the Nautilus.

However, apart from light rays, none of these attacks even touched the Nautilus, which was launching a collision at supersonic speed.

The moment it came into contact with the plant fortress, the horns of the nautilus were instantly covered with green electric sparks.The huge horn was buried in the plant fortress, and Tarasque and Yuyu released flames to the [inside] of the horn at this moment.

The blue flame and Tarasque's dragon flame fused together in the angle of attack according to the formula calculated by Chaldea, turning into a brand new flame that no one could see.The nautilus' huge horn then became a syringe again, sending the unknown fire inside into the huge plant fortress.

The plant wall around the attack angle suddenly tightened and fixed the Nautilus, and a plant tentacle surrounding it rushed towards the ark that had no way to retreat at this moment.

But before its tentacles touched the ark, the unknown fire that was sent into it exploded first.

The huge plant fortress suddenly expanded into a sphere, and then cracks appeared on the sphere.Then, iridescent flames erupted from the crack.

"Lixiang! Mash! Don't look!"

Nemo shouted loudly to Lixiang and Mash who looked over subconsciously.

"As expected of an all-round genius, the mixture is so good, it actually has the same nature as the ocean outside the ship!!"

In other words, this iridescent color is the original color of this ocean that would drive you crazy just by looking at it.Just like the ocean, a flame that is too well mixed has become something that has passed the San value appraisal at a glance.

Lixiang stretched out her hand to cover Matthew's eyes and the camera of the personal terminal the moment Nemo made his voice, but she didn't have time to look away.She could only wait tremblingly for [Madness] to strike... Then she found out that she was safe and sound.

"...the law of a different universe."

It was only then that Li Xiang realized this.

If you want to talk about a different universe, doesn't your own soul also come from a different universe?

[From Beyond the Stars], let's call the characteristics of Lixiang's soul this way for the time being.She is not only the existence of this universe, but also the existence of another universe. If that is the case, then [being able to directly see the existence of another universe], isn't it just a matter of course?

The flames dissipated, and a huge hole was blown out of the plant fortress.The ark sailed by, and Nemo, with his eyes closed, shouted at the same time,

"Everyone! Are you all right? Lixiang, how about you? How about Mash?"

"...Well, let's say both sides are safe."

Lixiang let go of the hand covering Matthew's eyes and the personal terminal camera and responded,

"It's really unexpected that my idea has such a good effect."

[Lixiang, in fact, you don't need to cover the camera. ] Roman said, [If emergency adjustments had not been made, Sheba would not even observe the sea covered by phantoms.Chaldea can't see those flames, so you should cover your eyes first. ]

"Forget it when you're in a hurry."

At the same time, Nemo once again picked up the microphone and shouted to all Nautiluses.

"Notify the whole ship! The code name [Plant Sea Fortress] has successfully broken through, and the ship will continue to sail to the destination as scheduled, over!!"

The deformation mechanism of the Nautilus was activated again at the same time, and the huge attack angle retracted to the sides of the hull.

Fran, who was in charge of enchanting the horn, lay down directly, and now she really wanted to take a cold bath or something.

Tarasque sat on the deck and rubbed his eyes with his front paws.Just now Nemo yelled [Don't look] the whole ship could hear it, but Tarasque, who was the source of the fire, obviously didn't have time to close his eyes.But before it saw the iridescent color, it first saw the illusion created by Yuyu.

It felt that the phantom was more impactful than the drop with a large san value, and it was so dazed that the evil dragon hadn't reacted until now.

The animals on the boat began to cheer, they were already looking forward to Lixiang's barbecue feast.

The Ark continued to sail on the unobservable sea-in fact, the ship was about to reach its destination.

■Dream World·Deep Sea

When Lixiang came back to his senses, he found himself in the dream of the deep sea again.

This dream maintains the appearance of being destroyed before, it looks like some ruins under the sea.Standing on the ruins, Li Xiang tilted her head subconsciously.

'Strange, why am I here? '

Lixiang thought.

'I haven't slept yet... After all, it's not dark yet?what happened? '

A series of memories emerged from Lixiang's mind at this moment.

Although the words of "tonight's barbecue dinner" were just casually shouted by Tatsuka who was involved in Nemo's Noble Phantasm liberation chant for some reason, but she didn't intend to treat this agreement as if it didn't exist.

In order to cook barbecue at night, Lixiang went to prepare the ingredients in about the same time.

Nemo was overhauling the ship at that time, and Tarasque kept repeating strange words that Lixiang couldn't understand for some reason, so Martha went to enlighten him.As a result, apart from Tachika, the only one who had time to deal with the ingredients for dinner was Mash who came to help.

It took them a lot of time to tell the truth, so Li Xiang planned to go to the deck with Matthew to get a breath before proceeding to the next step after processing the ingredients.

After walking to the deck, Lixiang saw a huge shadow from a distance.But she didn't see clearly for a while, and finally saw what the shadow was after the boat got closer.

It was a huge flower, and that was the destination to which the ship was going.

"I didn't expect this trip to come to an end so soon..."

Just when Lixiang was expressing such emotions, her eyes suddenly went dark, and then she appeared in this dream of the deep sea.

As a result, even after reviewing what happened just now in his mind, Li Xiang still didn't understand why he was in this deep sea dream.

"...What is the result?"

"Because the distance is getting closer."

Van Gogh appeared in front of Lixiang in the black dress before.

"It's like we can see each other after you came to this singularity, Lixiang. As the distance between us gets closer, even if you are not asleep, the dream will start to affect you."

Li Xiang sighed helplessly.

"I'm not used to the sudden disappearance of the [hehehe] way of speaking."

"... At the beginning, when we couldn't see each other, I was really happy when I got Lixiang's response. Obviously, now I understand that it was wrong, but as long as I think about it, I will still Feel happy...I'm such a disgusting follower."

She looked at Lixiang.

"Why are you responding to me? Li Xiang. My disgusting life, which is not as good as sawdust, has no value at all... It would be great if you didn't come to save me, then you wouldn't be in this situation now .”

"...Your self-evaluation is really as low as ever, Miss Van Gogh."

After hearing so many words of Van Gogh, even Lixiang can understand now.

"That means you know... no, do you remember?"

"Well, I remember it all."

Saying this, Van Gogh looked like he was crying.

"At the very end of this. Tachika, can I tell you two stories? That's the story of who I am, and why you're here—I want to tell you at least that at the end."

Li Xiang nodded.

"Okay, I'll listen carefully."

"...the first story is an old fable about the sunflower."

14. A simple investigation on the outer universe

■A brief description of a mythical story you have probably heard somewhere

In Greek mythology, there is a character whose name was only mentioned once in "Theogony", and to be honest, it is a character at all.

One of the first daughters of Thetis and the God of the Ocean, the water goddess named Clytie.

It wasn't until the first century AD that the Roman poet Ovid described her story in his Metamorphoses.

It is said that a long time ago, there existed a god representing the sun, light and art, and the name of the god was Apollo.

——It is worth mentioning that the name of the god representing the sun in the original story should be Helios.In fact, Apollo was originally only the god of art. The reason why he became the god of the sun, light and art was that the later ancient Greeks mixed Helios and Apollo together because of various artistic creations, and then the later Romans People also mixed in their own sun god Thor.

Yes, the name of the Roman sun god is Sol.But write Sol instead of Thor, not to be confused with the Nordic one.

——It may take a long time to explain the changes in mythology, but this story is not a mythology treatise, as long as everyone knows it.

In short, the triple compound sun god, Helios Apollo Sol, was a deity who was sufficiently affectionate toward humans to be called amorous.

The Persian king Okamose had a daughter named Luktoe, whose beauty was unparalleled in the world - everyone should have guessed the following story.

In short, the amorous triple talisman complex sun god fell in love with Leukotor passionately... However, the sun god originally had a lover.That lover is the Clytie who used his name once in "Theogony".

The beautiful Mizusawa goddess fell into despair and jealousy because of her lover's empathy, and became crazy.So she instilled all kinds of bad words about Leukotauer to the Persian king Okamos-[bad words] is a soft way of saying, the bad words were actually so bad that the angry Persian king executed his daughter for it.

The sun god felt sad about this, and after knowing the cause of Leukothoe's death, he completely cut off communication with Clytie.Clytie lost his lover completely because of what he did, but even so Clytie did not give up his love for the sun.

Infatuated, she watched the sun god's frame (the sun) rise and fall for nine days and nine nights without eating or drinking, so her body turned into a sunflower.

——By the way, in the original story, Clytie turned into a heliotrope, but it gradually evolved into a sunflower in later legends.

And, as an additional explanation of this fairy tale, let’s briefly tell the story about sunflowers... and [Vincent van Gogh].

It's not such a long story, it's just that Van Gogh had several paintings called sunflowers.Some people think that there is Van Gogh's obsession with the sun in those paintings, and some people think that is not the case... But the story of Van Gogh and sunflowers is actually nothing more than that.

Although rational, he has a crazy and persistent side, and even van Gogh, who has self-harmed because of this and has always regretted it.

Crazy because of love, but he can calmly kill Leukotoe with words, and in the end, because of strong regret, he will become Clytie who punishes himself.

Myth and history, ancient and modern.Although there is nothing in common in terms of origin, experience, or gender, the two are surprisingly similar.At this point, it seems that it can only be said to be a romance.

■A brief introduction about a certain foreign god·Part [-]

This is something that would have happened in the future.

The existence of a certain girl who traveled through proved that there is more than one universe, and when the base number becomes infinite, the possibilities will also become infinite.

Then it can be said that it is [natural] that there are existences in the universe outside this universe that want to invade this universe.

The ones from another universe, that is, [gods outside the universe], so they are called [outer gods].

The Outer Gods want to invade this universe, but this universe actually has several overly strong firewalls.The existence of this firewall makes it impossible for the gods of the outer universe to release their power in this universe. Even if any of them has the power that may subvert the planet, it becomes meaningless.

In order to invade this universe where the firewall is too strong, they initially chose to start from [spirituality].They chose a few souls with good compatibility with themselves on the earth, and wanted to create a gate to enter this universe through interference with these people.

Consequentially, they succeeded...and failed at the same time.

A painter named Van Gogh painted the famous "Starry Moon Night". That painting is the door that can connect the inner and outer universes and allow the power of the outer gods to pour into the universe.

Van Gogh sensed this and chose suicide without hesitation before the door opened. As a result, "Starry Moon Night" lost its function as a door and became an ordinary painting.

Even so, it was a success.

In this universe, there is a special defense mechanism called "Heroic Spirit". As long as the door is created for a moment, it can be established as a "Noble Phantasm". However, it is impossible for the servant Van Gogh to activate the Noble Phantasm Starry Moon Night.

No matter which aspect of Van Gogh, he would commit suicide on the spot without hesitation when he realized that he was wearing a treasure named Xingyue Ye.Although the door has been created, it is in a state of being unusable.

That being the case, a certain pillar of the Outer Gods thought so—then it would be great to create a Van Gogh who would not commit suicide and would activate Starry Night?

In a sense, it is indeed a groundbreaking idea that only the existence of the outer universe can think of.

Moreover, it is not impossible to create a Servant alone in the system.

■Dream World·Deep Sea

"And the servant created by the outer god is me. It is clearly Clytie, but it has the memory and treasure of Van Gogh. It is obviously Clytie who has the memory and treasure of Van Gogh. Ugh. Van Gogh's memory says I must die, but Clytie prevents me from committing suicide."

Hearing Van Gogh's words, Lixiang also understood why she felt that Van Gogh could not survive but could not die when Van Gogh ran away... because that was the truth.

"The self-destruct device created by the Outer God, the so-called [Descent]. The disgusting stitch monster who is nothing, the ugly phantom without a name, that is me."
