"Eh... In the end, humans couldn't prove that one plus one must equal two?"
"It is better to say that the fact is that one plus one does not necessarily equal two, so it cannot be proved."
Animusfia said with emotion.
"No, no, no, no matter what, it is a fact that one plus one equals two. It's just that humans are too ignorant to prove it."
"What? Your powerful and completely unreasonable statement can completely put an end to all doubts."
"Didn't you say it yourself——!? All unsolved mysteries are not so-called unsolved mysteries, they are just human beings being too stupid. Didn't you say it yourself??"
Speaking of which, another reason that made her angry was that Animusfia always repeated some words with deep meaning, and then let the people who listened to the words figure out the deep meaning of his words.
"If you really want to praise yourself, just say it properly, and yet you look so humble but want others to praise you. Isn't this B0cth and building a chastity memorial at the same time!"
So Fujimaru Ritsuka decided to tear apart his hypocritical surface.
Although he wanted to punch the face that always had a calm expression, Fujimaru Tatsuka decided to give it to Fujimaru Ritsuka based on Animusfia's seemingly painful feedback after touching him several times. Decided to spare him once.
After all, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't really do it for the purpose of killing.
But she was still quite frustrated about this matter.
Could it be that I am really so unladylike?
From time to time, Fujimaru Ritsuka would have such troubles.
It seems pretty good to be protected as a weak girl.
"Ahem, but this matter is not an unsolved mystery."
However, Animusfia cunningly and quietly changed the subject, and then continued:
"It is not so much that human beings cannot solve this problem. It is better to say that after solving this problem, we realize that one plus one equals two cannot be completely verified as a truth, but can only be an axiom limited to rules. .”
Animusfia looked directly at Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"It was when humans discovered the possibility that one plus one is not equal to two, and discovered the fact that one plus one does not necessarily equal two, that the proposition of the axiom became an urgent issue. When humans realized that the way they had been calculating in the past was not established When there is only wishful thinking on the basis of theory, then there is a real crisis in mathematics.”
"But isn't it true that the axioms are still human beings' wishful thinking? After all, as you said, Director, axioms are just systematic rules, rather than interpreting the truth of the world."
"The constant speed of light is just a set rule and no one knows why. For now, as long as it is useful, as long as it is useful, as for the question of why plus one equals two in most application scenarios, we can only think that the world is like this Run, God has ordained it.”
Fujimaru Ritsuka rubbed his head in distress, and then said:
"No, I still can't understand it."
Unexpectedly, Animusfia showed a plan-savvy expression and continued:
"It's normal not to understand. After all, from a materialistic point of view, the part here is indeed far-fetched. If you verify it as a scientist, you will definitely not be able to fully understand its essence due to the lack of current knowledge. However, we are in a Yes, it’s Chaldea where magic and science coexist.”
"Director, what do you mean--?"
"Human technology will one day cover all mysteries, and the end of magic is close at hand, but at least for now, technology is not that omnipotent, and magic is not that useful."
Animusfiya stretched out her fingers, and a downward curve appeared out of thin air.
"If this is regarded as a mysterious trend————"
As she spoke, Animusfia raised her head again, and a rising curve intersected with the curve that symbolized mystery.
"This is where technology is headed."
"so?"
Hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's doubts, Animusfia stretched out her hand and pointed at the intersection of the two curves.
“In modern times, we are at this intersection where we can neither look back on the mysterious glory of the past nor glimpse the power of future technology. Therefore, whether it is the past or the future, we are completely unable to compare with it. But if we can make the best use of If we combine the magic and technology of this era, we might be able to reach the level of the magic of the Age of Gods or the technology of the future, right?"
An even greater light burst out from the intersection of the two curves on Animusfia's hand, and then rose straight up.
"It is probably because of this that Chaldea was able to actually accomplish the great feat of traveling through time and arriving at a singular point in the past."
"Is this the same way for the director, so he can come back from the singularity by himself?"
"Well, just understand it that way."
"Then so can I?"
Animusfia looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka carefully for a long time, then slowly shook her head and said:
"My situation is just more extreme. In theory, you can do it, but the cost is too high."
Animusfia pointed to the strands of gray hair on her head and continued:
"If you don't want to end up like this, I suggest you don't mess around."
"Is this why, Director, you never taught me how to transfer souls on my own?"
However, facing Fujimaru Ritsuka's answer, Animusfia shook her head decisively.
"I am not the kind of person who pursues paternalism. I have put the choice in your hands from beginning to end. In fact, with what you know now, you can already do everything I can do as a human being. , it’s just that you don’t want to believe it yet.”
"The teacher talks about science and rationality every day, but in fact his magic is so idealistic that students can't believe it."
The red-haired girl curled her lips and complained.
"Well, it's true that I have dragged you down. Human beings' abilities as observers are supposed to be unlimited. However, I myself cannot get rid of that shackles and am trapped in scientific rationality. I'm sorry. Say. In the end, I don’t really superimpose science and mystery, but simply use mystery to realize what science has proven but cannot yet achieve.”
"Hey, has science proven that people can travel through time and space?"
"That may be difficult, but science has proven that causality does not exist."
"what does that mean?"
"It would be very troublesome to explain this. All in all, the existence of time is just an axiom like 1+1=2. There is no such thing as time in essence."
"Eh………………"
"Let's give an example, how long is a minute? The minute hand on the clock rotates one step? The second hand rotates once? Or the cesium 133 atom undergoes a 551557906200 ultra-fine state energy level transition? You can see the clues from here Well, time doesn't actually exist. It's just that humans use the movement of one thing to compare the movement of other things.
Therefore, there is no time problem in wanting to rejuvenate or revive the dead, it is just that the changes in objects are irreversible by scientific means——so what about the mystery? "
Animusfia looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka thoughtfully, and then said:
"Cause and effect are essentially just two forms of the same thing."
………………
"Then, you only need to create the effect to create the cause, and you only need to erase the effect to erase the cause."
Staring at the ark in front of him, Fujimaru Ritsuka murmured words that Animusfia had not spoken at that time.
That Zhou Yu must have realized this from the depths of Animusfia's thoughts before he was confident.
Indeed, the earth's atmosphere and oceans have been completely destroyed, and it is no longer possible for humans to survive in such an environment.
It is also extremely difficult to erase the cause and effect of life and death.
But if we change our thinking, it seems that it is not impossible to match the current effect with the cause of human beings never being killed.
"So this is ah…………"
Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly realized.
"Senior, do you understand anything?"
"Well, Matthew, do you still remember what the director once said?"
"Eh, what?"
"Who says there is only one truth? Although this scene can indeed be interpreted as all humans being killed, since there is a possibility that not even a single human in this ark has been killed, Is that possible? In other words, there are two ways to reach the current ending."
There are countless possibilities in the future, but there is only one path in the past.
"As for the possibility, it still depends on the [observer] to determine it————"
Taking over the Ouranos spear that Animusfia had been using from Zhou Yu, Fujimaru Ritsuka slowly stepped off the boat created by Apollo.
However, what was unexpected was that Fujimaru Ritsuka did not fall under the water, but walked on the sea as if walking on flat ground.
Facing the unreal scene, only the ripples under her feet reflected that she was indeed standing on the water.
In this way, Fujimaru Ritsuka walked towards the Ark step by step.
And the shell of the Ark, which exuded an ancient and heavy atmosphere, was gradually covered with algae and became full of life.
Now, even Matthew and Artoria Alt could clearly feel that a certain gear in this singularity was turning.
The Spear of Ouranos in Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand also emits bright light as she steps, consuming it violently.
And her progress became more and more difficult, and the resistance on her body became heavier and heavier, as if a whole mountain was pressing on her.
However, she must not admit defeat at this moment.
She wanted to confirm the facts for Animusfia, as the only human being able to observe this behavior at this moment, and for all mankind.
The light on the Spear of Ouranos became brighter and brighter, and even the sunlight that broke through the clouds again seemed dim under it.
And Fujimaru Ritsuka's hands also felt an extremely terrifying temperature.
The pain of being melted together with the bone marrow came along with the temperature.
"senior----"
Matthew wanted to jump out of the boat but was stopped by Zhou Yu who was occupying Animusfiya's body.
"This is something that only your Master, as a human being, can do."
Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was standing alone on the sea and walking forward, also heard Zhou Yu's words.
Yes, this is something that can only be done by her now.
Finally, Fujimaru Ritsuka came to the front of the Ark and used all his strength to raise the Spear of Ouranos, which was already like the sun.
Here, she has to complete her proof and set her own axioms.
If you want to ask why, it is that humans have decreed this.
"Quod erat demonstrandum!"
The tip of the Spear of Ouranos pointed downwards and landed hard on the sea. The light on it also spread to the surroundings with extremely strong air pressure in an instant.
The dense clouds in the sky that were pierced by the sun before disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving a huge hole centered around where they were.
Even Artoria was unable to capture Fujimaru Ritsuka's figure for a brief moment.
And Mashu could only hide behind the shield.
"Master----"
After regaining her vision, Artoria Alt quickly looked towards the place where Fujimaru Ritsuka was before.
Fortunately, as a magician herself, only her hair seemed to be moving due to the air current.
However, the Ark, which had previously closed its hatch, opened its door at some unknown moment, and a tall, slender figure slowly walked out.
"Congratulations, Master of Humanity————————"
The white captain's uniform with long hair was covered with a turban similar to Indian clothing. A right hand wearing a blue glove stretched out in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Here you can announce that the strategy for this singularity is finally completed."
