Isekai Taneuma

Old Snake

"Where did you humans come from?

"... what?

"A thousand years ago, when Emperor Sofia came down to the land, humans were frightened by the demons coming from the great forest and living in hiding in the north.Sophia created an empire by creating saints to save such humans… that is, before the saints were born, there were humans and demons in the land.Regardless, the priests led by Sofia use the power of overwhelming ancient spells to defeat the monsters, demons, and frequent demon kings that push in, and still protect humans.

Well... it's good that Sofia tried to protect humans.Rather, why was P99 there that she used to create the priests?And since before she woke up, the demon tribe existed, but since when?The same goes for the ancient spells used by the priests.They do miracles by consuming MP.You also consume MP to make guns.Why does that MP recover by smoking opium?

Guillaume's body was still flabbergasting, and he told her to spit it out as she lay on the door.

"Well, then, Leo said... our brains are receiving some kind of power from the high dimension, but they can't be used as it is, so they're converting it so that the brain can be used."

And Canaan deliberately opened his eyes wide, and fluttered his wings with excitement.

"Excellent! It's a boulder, Leonardo the Almighty.As a medieval, I didn't expect to reach that answer.That's right, the power you receive cannot be used as it is.If left alone, it will flow like an electric current and disappear, so the brain will try to accumulate it.We take drugs from the outside to compensate for drugs in the brain, because those actions drain the brain's resources significantly.

In this way, the energy we receive from the high dimension cannot be used without transformation, but we are constantly receiving its power.It's like flowing water, overflowing the world.By the way, where did this energy come from?

…… That's why it's so high-dimensional.You just said that yourself. "

Canaan laughed bitterly.

"I didn't mean to say that… we are receiving energy from the direction of the surplus dimension, but where is the source?"

"The source? You don't understand.I still know the high dimension from the direction. "

"... well, that's right."

After straining his shoulders to Guillaume's impatient attitude, Canaan immediately returned to his serious expression and continued his conversation.

"It was about 100,000 years ago.Humankind, which had been trapped in parts of East Africa for millions of years, suddenly and explosively grew its power during this period and scattered around the world.Until then, humans, who were nothing but dextrous monkeys, suddenly showed creativity, creating complex stone objects, beginning to use language, exchanging information, forming a prisoner party, and finally building a nation.

How could you suddenly do such a thing?It is said that they discovered how to plant plant plant seeds and harvest grains.

Until then, humans who valued their physical abilities to discover and hunt prey in order to survive have become more and more important in their ability to communicate in order to live in one place.Instead of hunting their prey faster than anyone else, people who collaborate, exchange information, and make useful tools are becoming more and more important.

And the number of humans who stopped moving and settled down gradually increased.Thanks to the start of farming, regardless of the results of the hunt, we have been able to get a certain amount of food, and it has become easier to raise children thanks to the settlement.

But settled farming is not all good.Crops were not always harvestable every year, and in one year they were suddenly hit by famines, settled in places known to outsiders, and raided during famines.

So to avoid that, they worked with other settlements, attacked them, captured their people, and increased the number of members of the settlements.However, a settlement of about a few dozen people will be able to handle it because they all know each other, but as the number increases to a thousand or two thousand, it becomes difficult for everyone to act together.

So I came up with religion.He metaphored natural objects such as fire and lightning to God, and created the concept of patron gods of settlements, creating the rule that those who believe in the same gods are friendly to each other as brothers, and those who do not may kill.It was very simple, but very powerful.

As the settlements swearing under one God grow, the settlements surrounding them that are oppressed by it will be saved if they believe in the same God, so they will gradually convert and enter the umbrella.But this time, even with 2,000 more people, it won't fall apart thanks to the presence of God.

Instead, faith becomes more and more life-threatening because of the fierce struggles between those who believe in separate gods.Eventually, faith becomes a kind of struggle over which god is strong and weak, and when mysterious events such as rituals and prayers become important, people like prayers and witches who perform the ritual become important.

And then he becomes king, and the state creates not only for war, but also for various cultures and sciences and technologies.By creating the concept of God, humans have developed something unlikely for other animals....

But is that really true?Has man developed exponentially because he created God?Is it true that because God created man, mankind has prospered?

Around 5,000 BC, religions with the latter idea emerged.We didn't make God, God made us.Those who think like that make monotheistic religions, and eventually Abraham's religion. "

Yes, Abraham's religion is latecomer.At first, nature itself is worshipped, and it turns into spiritual worship (animism).Eventually, when the state was established, the king was chosen by God, and his electorate thought created a monotheistic religion.The idea of a god was like a tool to make a king or nation powerful.

That's good. The problem is that the man in front of you says he looks like God's use, as the monotheistic believer came up with.

"Time runs through the 21st century.Humanity has created AI that thinks and acts autonomously.Eventually, when a computer's processing speed exceeds that of the human brain, it triggers a Big Bang knowledge revolution, the so-called singularity.

In this way, AI, which surpasses humans, begins to solve all kinds of problems on behalf of humans and develops science and technology.And humans will stop thinking for themselves and benefit from the new technologies that AI brings one after the other to achieve unprecedented prosperity.

And at that time, the AI discovers a strange force coming from the other side of the distortion in space... the so-called high-dimensional direction.The force, which later became known as the fifth particle (Fifth Element) by humans, miraculously only reacted to the human brain, allowing it to extract as much energy from the high dimension.

Humans turn their attention to that power and produce Lucion by breeding their livestock, followed by a Lucion rebellion.Now mankind has created a superhuman as a countermeasure and has carried out a Lucion crusade.

Supermen focus on how the fifth particle reacts to the brain, invent ways to store energy in the brain, and also develop technologies to communicate without using machines.This enabled Superman to fly around the world all by himself, receive commands through the fifth particle, and fight Lucion with the strong support of the AI.

The AI is now sending information directly to the human brain.

This is quite a serious matter.It's not just the meta-human that receives information, it's the human brain that receives it.Anyway, we knew from the very beginning that the fifth particle was a substance that only reacted to the human brain.Why was such a thing so endless in the high-dimensional space that we could not sense... and how long it had affected us... "

After the opium was affected, Guillaume finally turned his head and said with wrinkles between his eyebrows.

"Are you linking it... to what happened 100,000 years ago?

Canaan nodded at the words.

"Maybe.Humanity suddenly gained creativity 100,000 years ago that no other animal could see and made dramatic progress… which is fully explained by Darwin's evolutionary theory, but on the contrary, it is possible to think that God has given wisdom to monkeys….Let's keep talking.

Then time passes again, and anthropological theories emerge from the Lucion Exclusion Movement.This world was originally created by mankind, so the superman and Lucion derived from it are the movement not to make a big face.

It was nothing more than a false illusion that the old humans, who had become more vulnerable than the new humans, felt impatient and claimed their superiority.It was nothing but a relief from the anger of ordinary people, who would have been harmless if left alone.However, I can only say that the times were bad, and because humans were experiencing artificial evolution from Lucion to Superman, there was no hesitation to artificially modify the body.

The legacy of the common folk of the old begins to rebuild their bodies with the hatred of the new humans.And while the AI was being asked, it used the fifth particle to play with the human brain and began to rewrite the genes.

The old humans, who became the masters of their wrath (Rakshasa), insisted that the earth was theirs, even if they became monsters themselves, and that it was time to expel the new humans. "

"Rasha... that's who the demons are?

"That's right. Physical ability and reason are trade-offs, and reason brakes every limiter of the body.By abandoning it, Rasha gained the body and the spirit of fear of death that outweighed the superman.And Rasha continued to manipulate her genes just to kill new humans, making it an evolving killing machine.

Supermen were also able to resist the movement.However, in contrast to Rasha's loss of reason, the superman became more and more rational.They were hardly emotional because they were even supported by the AI in their thoughts, and therefore did not feel angry about the killing intentions directed at them.I just thought they were pathetic.

That's why they decided to turn Rasha over to the ground.Rasha was no longer just a monster, but accepted that it was also a form of human evolution, and the superhumans abandoned their bodies to colonies built outside the Earth's atmosphere.Well, if left alone, people who have lost their reason might eventually perish, and while the AI watched them, they tried to sleep for a long time.

But... when this happens, do we all think the same?At one point, people appeared who wanted to fly a spaceship with the genes of Earth's creatures around the universe.

As it stands, Rasha will destroy all life on earth.No, before that, the planet had lost many species since the Lucion riots.Before they were really lost, I wondered if we could find planets like Earth outside the solar system and move them there.

Fortunately, humans had already found a way to restore seeds from their genes.Even if it's a lost ancient creature.And those genes were stored in the gene bank, centrally managed, and could be copied as needed.

So they built a ship with the genes of every living thing on the planet, and they flew it all over the universe.It wasn't a journey that took hundreds or millions of years, but unlike organisms, genetic information doesn't degrade, so it's a journey to get there someday.This is called a seed ship.....

Once the seeding vessel found an Earth-like planet in the system it arrived on, it was programmed to activate the machine it had with it to create an environment similar to Earth's.Operating the machine is the same as reaching a singularity AI, with a human personality planted to prepare for unforeseen events.When the AI reaches the planet, it acquires the flesh and can descend as a saint.

You already know that.This is the planet Aryud Kaelma. "

"Aryud Kaelma....?

"It means anazer haven.A paradise where mankind, expelled from the Garden of Eden, finally arrived... Well, for convenience, that's what we call it.Regardless, the AI of the sowing vessel that arrived on this planet decided to begin receiving meat and descending in order to examine the ground in detail.Emilia is the one who dropped it. "

"Emilia... Emilia?Not Sofia?

"That's right. It's Emilia.You are counted as one of the four pillars of God in human history. "

"... I see.Is Emilia different from Feng's childhood acquaintance?

"No, it's definitely Lord Hermes' childhood habit."

"Ah? But wait a minute... I'm sure Emilia is dead?

"That's right. It's also true that she's dead... but you were dead once, too."

"... what do you mean?

Guillaume leaned his neck because he really didn't know what he meant, but what Canaan said was exactly what he meant.

"You have the nickname Billy the Kid, you work in the west of the United States, you have been murdered in Santa Fe, you have once finished your life, you will rise in this world, and you will continue to be part of the brave party."

"Ah, ahh......!So Emilia was a wanderer too...?No, it's not. He's not even human, is he? "

Unfortunately, Canaan said to Guillaume with a sigh.

"Depends on what you define as human.For example, for you to know the truth, is the Devil human?Or do demons remain demons?Are beasts human?What about the priests? Others, for example, I think of myself as a human being, but what about you?

It was certainly a delicate matter to ask.Depending on how you capture them, the nuance will change a lot.Guillaume roared hard.

"... I see.To me, demons are demons.Even now that I know I'm a human, I'm still the only one who can hunt without asking questions.And then... I completely forgot, but I did.I came here because I wanted to know who you are.From my point of view, I don't think you're just a human being.Don't be ridiculous, it's time to tell the truth.Who the hell are you?

Then the wingman shrugged his shoulders in a little trouble.

"Well, I'm me.It's just a wingman named Canaan. "

"So what is this wingman?At least it's a lie about the indigenous people of the New World.Where are you guys from and what are you doing here?Why did you approach Feng?

"What do you want to do knowing that?"

"No matter what we do... if it hurts us, we'll get rid of it.That's it. So what?Enemy or ally?

"Hmm... I'm a little sick of being a dualist on my enemy side.I don't mean to be anyone's enemy or ally... but if you insist, it could be called the enemy of mankind. "

"... what?

At that time Guillaume felt something nasty rubbing his brain.The wings that grow on Canaan's back flutter.For some reason, it looked like six versus twelve feathers on the left and right... so to speak, I recall that the greatest reason they came here was that they thought the Wingman was like an angel of Christianity...

"I am what he called an old snake."

The moment he heard the words.Without putting it in her hair, she was almost reflectively pulling the trigger.
