Miss Gudazi, who almost became a walker, is saving humanity

The toughness of the Electronic Pantheon even surpassed that of the train that was tossed until it flew to the sky before it was completely broken. The supersonic blow from the B+ level of muscle strength plus the B level of strange force could not even shake the top of the Pantheon slightly.

The locked Constantine XI did not dodge the tail attack, but he couldn't dodge it.His agility is only at C level, and he can't easily keep up with the exaggerated speed of [Supersonic].

However, he raised his arm as a shield to catch the tail, but he was not injured.

Although neither agility nor muscular strength is considered high among Servants, he has the same A-rank durability as Mash.At the same time, he also possesses a C-level inherent skill called [Saint Sophia's Prayer].

The reason why the level is only C- is because this skill will be affected by the times, and it is impossible to exert much power in modern times.

However, even though it is full of machinery and transcendent technology, it is still [Ancient Rome]—that is, the era when the myths have just faded and the gods can still walk on the ground.

In this day and age, Hagia Sophia's prayers afford Constantine XI the same protection as the church itself.

Can't understand?

To put it simply, it is the feeling of compressing the church to the size of a human and then making it move.

Roman soldiers holding bows and arrows suddenly appeared behind Constantine XI, and he pulled the bow and arrows in his hand at the Tamamo cat in the air.

Constantine XI swung his sword at the blocked cat at the same time, and the golden chain that rolled up the golden storm appeared again at the same time as he swung the sword.At this time, Matthew raised his shield and stepped forward, blocking the attack of Constantine XI and the Roman soldiers he summoned.

As mentioned before, Mash's durability is also A.And in the same way, Mash also possesses multiple inherent skills of [Enhanced Guardian Power].Therefore, one is holding a sword and the other is holding a shield, and they are both very thin, but it gives people a feeling that two city walls are colliding with each other.

Constantine XI's attack was blocked by Matthew.

Matthew would be harassed and beaten by Roman soldiers with hurled Roman fire, bows and arrows, and a horse - presumably Constantine XI's mount.

And these will be defeated by Tamamo and Mash together.

However, the Tamamo cat with sufficient firepower could not break through the defense of Constantine XI.

Thus, the battle between the three servants entered a stalemate.And the possibility of deciding the final outcome falls on the last follower and the only master.

Across the three servants in the melee, Tachika and Maxwell looked at each other.

"You're not from Rome, are you?"

Li Xiang said out loud.

Her first sentence was nonsense to her because she knew the identity of Maxwell's demon.

"Whether this Rome is prosperous or declining, it shouldn't matter to you, right? Why are you helping Rome?"

"This is..."

The man in the suit and sunglasses pushed his sunglasses.

"Let's talk about science fiction, a dream that even children can't dream in modern times-have you heard of perpetual motion machines?"

"... infinite energy or something? Like a buttered toast cat?"

"Yes, Butter Toast Cat. Cats always land on their feet, and Butter Toast always lands with the butter side up. So strap Butter Toast to the cat's back, isn't that a perpetual motion machine? Great Now, the Nobel will be mine!!"

An old joke that is so classic that people are too lazy to complain about it—although it is just a joke, the voice of Maxwell's demon who told this joke is mixed with a little bitterness.

"...In an era that people of your time probably don't remember, there was a group of people who seriously challenged this joke, and then of course failed miserably amidst the laughter. My name is [Maxwell's Demon], Insatiable Mathematical demons imagined by greedy humans, dreamers who defied the impossible—the dregs of their dreams.”

What he said was what Lixiang already knew.

Although it was all known for a long time, Lixiang was speechless for a while when he spit it out from his own mouth.

The wreckage of a dream, the name [Maxwell's Demon] itself is too heavy.

"When you were in Rome, I don't know if you noticed it? The [science] of this Rome is abnormal-what kind of science can make Rome develop so fast?

"What is the ratio of materials between the Electronic Pantheon and that train? How does the factory purify the environment without polluting it? Why doesn't the train that unfolds its car body at supersonic speed not self-destruct? The atmospheric environment is different. What is the method of spreading sound in this world? What does Rome eat when no one farms the land?"

Lixiang never thought about these questions.

Because it wasn't necessary, and because—

"Can't imagine, can you?"

The residue of the dream opened its arms, and said the [conclusion] without any sarcasm.

"It's natural that I can't imagine it, because it's different—the science of Rome, the science brought by Koyanskaya, is a new science that is completely different from modern science from the bottom. So... I see the possibility."

Perpetual motion machines, Maxwell's demons have been denied by modern science.

However, if it is the new science of Rome, if it is a completely different environment from modern times... can the perpetual motion machine be created?

"I want to fulfill the dreams of the idiots who created me, and I want to fulfill the greed that children will laugh at."

"...But, you still failed, right?"

"Ah, failed. Even with new science, perpetual motion is still impossible. Even the so-called holy grail is not a real permanent energy source... In the end, whether it is the second magic or the third magic, there are things that will wear out .”

The reason for Maxwell's demon to accept the summoning, the reason for staying in this Rome, his dream has actually failed.

"I'm not staying here for Rome. You're right, what happens in Rome has nothing to do with me."

So why on earth do utopian math demons keep fighting for Rome?

"Not Rome, I stayed here only because of this man. Constantine XI, the last emperor of Rome. He longed for the prosperity of Rome and the happiness of the people. He achieved the impossible persistence, but in the end he left sadly this man."

"……what."

Lixiang suddenly realized.

it's the same.

Although the things they want to do are different, their goals are different, and maybe even their values ​​are different.However, the two men are the same.

Challenging impossible dreams, then leaving in dismay.Even so, he did not give up and continued to challenge with all his strength.

They knew that dream was impossible.

They know their failure is inevitable.

They know what will happen to them.

Know it all—but still, it’s a challenge.

"My dream has failed, but in this Rome, this man's dream is still possible."

Let’s use an analogy, the stadium that I have always dreamed of going to, because of various accidents, I never missed it.At this time, I met a friend who wanted to go to the same arena. I watched that friend make it to the final despite his faltering steps, and watched him grit his teeth and sprint towards the finish line.

It's like seeing the past self, the impossible future.

Regardless of whether there will be negative feelings afterwards, at least at that moment.

"Don't you want to shout [Come on]?"

Maxwell's demon opened his hand, and an item with no fixed shape appeared in his palm.

The reason why it has no fixed shape is because it has never been created again, not even a blueprint.

"Since you have come here, there is no need for the Heroic Soldiers for the time being. If we win to the end, the rebel army will lose the possibility of continuing to fight, and if we lose, the Heroic Spirit Soldiers will also be defeated as a matter of course. So—— I accept came back."

At this moment, Lixiang received a communication from the people of the Rebel Army in his earphones.

[General Commander!Just now, all patrol robots stopped moving! ]

"You should really want to know, right? How were Heroic Soldiers with independent spiritual bases created? Where did the magic power needed to release the treasures come from? I'll give you the answer now."

So, the question again - what is Maxwell's demon?

"Now is the best time, Constantine XI. Your dream is at least [-] or even [-] times more serious than other emperors in Rome. You should sing it loudly without shame."

"...One hundred should be better than ninety, right?"

During the interval of the battle, Constantine XI responded aloud.

"Ha, you really are serious enough, emperor in a suit, this is a popular saying among young people in the 21st century."

Saying so, Maxwell's demon threw 【self (the wreckage of a dream)】 into the sky.

"The infinite heart dreamed by greedy human beings, the infinite possibilities imagined by dreamers. The conditions have been fulfilled, let's start the final verification—【Negation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics (Maxwell's Demon)】!"

Then, the dream appeared in the sky with the power of the heroic spirit.

The name of the dream is - [perpetual motion machine].

It is a conceptual Noble Phantasm of EX rank, and it is an exaggeration to say that the Noble Phantasm is the heroic spirit itself.The ability of Noble Phantasm is just like its name, it is a perpetual motion machine that can generate energy infinitely.

The reason why the Heroic Spirit Corps can exist is precisely because Maxwell's Demon overcomes all obstacles by relying on [Infinite Energy] and [Science].

Although the use of this Noble Phantasm requires the completion of various troublesome conditions, those conditions have undoubtedly been completed long ago—after all, it has been used for so long.

The target chosen by this infinite energy is naturally Constantine XI.

Relying on pure [Infinite Energy], Constantine XI directly flew away the Matthew and Yuzao cats who were besieging him.Then he swung a frighteningly huge Miracle Light with the blade, trying to make up for the two of them.

Lixiang ran over at this moment, and waved his fist at the holy light.

As a result, the holy light, which was powerful enough to split the overly strong train in half, was shattered by the girl's fist when it was strengthened with infinite magic power.

"I thought so when I saw it, [Sure enough]——The essence of that light is a miracle, right? After all, your castle is also a place called the Holy City, so I wondered if it would be like this But I'm sorry for the last emperor, [Miracle] is useless to me."

"You actually shattered the majesty of the Lord with your bare hands. Could it be that you are!!... But please forgive me, just as my friend said, even if the opponent is you, I will——!"

The man turned the sword upside down, as if holding a cross.The phantom of a city began to emerge, gradually replacing the scenery at the top of the Electronic Pantheon.

"My dream, there is no haze at all!! [The one who will make the oath is the triple wall (Theodosius Constantinos)]!! I am here, right here!! My body is the real wall! !"

The triple wall guarding Constantinople, and Constantinople behind the wall, appeared at the top of the tower across time and space under the call of Constantine XI.

"...Ha, Constantinople...the holy city?"

Li Xiang sighed helplessly.

"First, I shot and killed the saint Martha, and now I'm going to demolish the holy city. I used to be a decent nun too? Why don't you let me fight the pigeons?"

26. The Consistent Loser

■ Electronic Pantheon Top Floor

The original Electronic Pantheon didn't have much decoration on the top, just a huge platform.

However, the current platform was replaced by a [City] with three walls.

Of course, it's not the full version, it's just similar to a miniature model - after all, the Electronic Pantheon is just a building, and no matter how big the top floor is, it can't hold the entire Constantinople.

Constantinople, the holy city of the Orthodox Church, the capital of Rome in the era of Constantine XI.It was Constantine XI himself who conjured up the concept of this city from the future.

"Even if I commit a crime against you, I will crush you here!"

Anti-army Noble Phantasm, the defense category is conceptual defense.A maximum of 7000 people can be captured, but the fewer people to guard, the stronger the defense of the city will be, and the strength of Constantine XI's own belief will also affect the strength of the Noble Phantasm.

Although being hostile to Lixiang alone made Constantine XI feel that he was a heinous sin, the strong prayer for the realization of his wish made up for the wavering of faith.At the same time, the only ones he has to protect now are himself and the Maxwell demon.

Coupled with the fact that Maxwell's Demon is using the infinite energy of the Noble Phantasm to power Constantine XI, the defensive power of these three walls has reached the level of [almost impossible to be broken] at this moment.

...The reason for almost is because there are quite a few very...subtle existences in Heroic Spirits.

"I can't figure out why whether it's Martha, St. George, or you, they all treat me like this...Ms. Joan of Arc looks quite normal."

Recalling the words of Constantine XI, Lixiang sighed.

'Is it [sin] just to be hostile to me?Is it so serious... I think it is too much for me to shoot the saint and attack the holy city even though I was born in the church. '

"Since you think it is a sin, what is the purpose of forcing yourself to do so?"

"My wish, my ideal is only one, only one!!"

At the moment of death, what Constantine XI felt was [regret] that he did not expect.

He knew early on that he would lose.

Demise is doomed, between 7000 people and 10 people there is a huge difference in the number of despair that makes people shout "slap a fart".Especially at that time, it was still the era of cold weapons, when the number of people could easily determine the outcome.

Using trebuchets and Greek fire, they built three walls and resisted desperately.Even so, Constantine XI knew that he would lose... It's just that he didn't want to admit defeat, and he didn't think he could admit defeat.

At the moment of death, he understood the reason why he was unwilling to admit defeat.

[Rome is dead. 】

Rome fell.

His own defeat represented the disappearance of the country, and Rome has only existed in history since then.

Since then, there has been no Rome.

Later generations commented in this way. They said that Constantine XI had done enough, and they said it was just helpless. They praised Constantine XI for his nobility, bravery and unyieldingness.They used long papers and thick history books to demonstrate that even if all the Roman emperors were pulled out and ranked, Constantine XI could still be ranked among the top few.

This is the evaluation of later generations, and it must be correct.
