"Is this... a success?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Fujimaru Ritsuka murmured quietly.
"call----"
Heaving a sigh of relief, the captain turned his head and looked at the people from Chaldea behind him, showing an extremely confident expression.
"Well, if you succeed, it's okay to cheer, right?"
"Ugh————!"
Although the captain thought he had made a good joke that could lighten the atmosphere, in the end it was only Apollo who cheered.
The young man who cheered froze in place a little stiffly after realizing that he was the only one cheering around, and then silently walked back behind everyone.
"…………"
There followed another awkward silence, which was finally broken by Matthew.
"It doesn't feel very real."
"Well…………"
The captain looked awkwardly at the place where the ark should have stood, and then said:
"It's natural to feel that it's unreal. After all, humanity was still in crisis just a moment ago, and not even a single surviving individual could survive. But now I'm announcing to you that everything has been resolved———— —Even if I were put in your position, it would definitely feel unreal. But——————”
The captain stretched out his right hand, bowed, saluted Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others in Chaldea again and said:
"Please rest assured, whether it is the sky or the ocean, the impact of the death of the two gods has been completely eliminated, and the flood caused by it has also been repelled by me. With your efforts, this singularity , was successfully repaired.”
"Any questions?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka still couldn't believe that the problem in front of him would be solved so completely.
"No problem——————"
The captain smiled at the red-haired girl, and then continued:
"Even the creatures that died in the flood can be regarded as being brought back to life."
"Huh? Can you actually do that kind of thing?!"
Now Leonardo da Vinci, who was sitting in Chaldea, couldn't sit still.
As Chaldea's technical advisor, although she provided Chaldea with a lot of magical assistance, Da Vinci still could not touch the line that transcended life and death.
It was precisely because of this that she became more aware of what it meant to reverse life and death.
"Well, if it were in a normal state, even I wouldn't be able to do this. In fact, I haven't really come back to life, so I can say that it [qualifies] in a certain sense."
"what does that mean?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka, who could not understand, shook his head and then asked:
"It's better to say that I still don't understand what happened."
After hearing the question, the captain stretched out his hand and looked at his spirit body, which was slowly dissipating and turning into golden stardust.
Is it time?
But this just proves that everything in this singularity has been settled.
Ignoring the dissipated spirit body, the captain continued to raise his head and said:
"There is still some time left, so let me explain it to you in detail. If the Grand is not used as a sacrifice, and the great hero Hercules is comparable to the God of the Gods, what has been preserved Power, even if my Noble Phantasm is slightly related to [Genesis], I will never be able to reproduce God's great cause of creation. At most, I can only repel the flood. As for recreating a new world, it is indeed impossible. .”
"Is it the Canaanite god Baal in Mr. Hercules' spiritual base that resonates with the Christian god Yahweh (YHW) who was also born out of Baal?"
Mashu, who caught the keyword, replied keenly.
"Well, that can be considered one of the reasons. Although it conflicts with my position, it is undeniable that the great hero who is a pagan god does have some similarities with the only god I believe in. But that's just a prerequisite. What really allowed Hercules to help me complete such a miracle was the [Miracle of the Gods] that he obtained after defeating many servants and obtaining many noble phantoms. God’s power.”
"So, was Mr. Noah also defeated by Mr. Hercules?"
"I've said it before, I can't be considered a complete Noah, so just call me captain——————But what you said is correct. Noah's heroic spirit was indeed captured by Herak He was defeated by Les, or in other words, he took the initiative to give his share of power to Hercules without discovering the evil of human beings. In the end, that power was placed on another servant. He is also the servant who created the possibility for me to hide under the eyes of the goddess who can know all the changes on the earth at any time, Captain Nemo."
"So, is it the Captain Nemo who drove the Nautilus in "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" and "The Mysterious Island"? No wonder he can cover his whereabouts under the prying eyes of the Moon Goddess."
Mashu, who always reads, instantly realized the other identity of the servant in front of him.
"It's just gambling. In fact, it wouldn't be surprising if the goddess discovered it."
"But this still doesn't explain why even the deaths and injuries caused by floods can be wiped out, right?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka pointed out the flaw in the captain's words.
"Well, let's talk about the unusualness of the Ark as a treasure in this singularity. According to the original Bible description, although Noah's Ark can sustain a certain amount of life fire, it can never die. Resurrection is a great undertaking that belongs only to God."
"Then how did you do it?"
Before Noah could answer, Zhou Yu, who was controlling Animusfia's body, nodded as if he suddenly understood:
"Since the dead cannot be resurrected, then why don't people die in the first place...?"
"... Exactly like that, there are quite a few wise men hidden among Chaldea."
Noah, who originally wanted to let it slip, had to give a full account at this moment.
"Actually, the inside of my ark is not as big as it looks. After all, even if I only choose a pair of each animal in a giant ship that is actually that big, it is impossible to fully carry it. If I actually go in, it seems like I am entering. It’s like arriving in another world————The fire of life is actually preserved in that world.”
"Can you survive even a natural disaster that destroys the entire biosphere?"
Zhou Yu couldn't help but raise such questions.
"Of course, that is an agreement between God and mankind. Even an attack with an anti-world level Noble Phantasm cannot harm the life inside the Ark."
Noah said confidently.
"It's really a convenient treasure."
Even Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh like this.
"Ultimately, with the help of the power of the crown and Hercules, the lives previously hidden in the ark will be released again, and at the same time, the world in it will be extended to the entire world..."
Doctor Roman in Chaldea said thoughtfully.
"Well, that's exactly it."
"When you hear it like this, it doesn't seem so hard to accept."
"Hey, you actually accepted it like that?"
Da Vinci was very surprised to see Roman accept it so easily. After all, based on Roman's previous attitude, she thought he would be more emotional.
"No, after all, according to the records in the Bible, the Ark and the agreement between Noah and God have a hint of a metaphor for re-creating the world. Everything in the old world was destroyed, and the only thing left was Noah—— ——A world repopulated by living beings headed by the primates of all things.”
"Hey, Romani, you've studied the Bible really well."
Da Vinci said this to Roman with deep meaning.
However, Roman did not pay any attention to the meaning in Da Vinci's words. On the contrary, another piece of information from the captain's mouth made him even more concerned.
"As for the title, you are indeed a Grand
Rider's identity was summoned by the suppression force in this singularity, right? "
"...Well, that's true."
Noah, who didn't expect anyone in Chaldea to realize this problem, suddenly became serious and said so confidently to Roman behind the image.
"That means..."
"Yes, the beast that symbolizes human evil was detected by the suppression force in this singularity, but I am ashamed that I could not find the shadow of the existing beast, not even a trace."
"But the appearance of a crowned servant is enough to explain the problem..."
Roman pinched his temples with a headache.
"Regarding this, all of you Chaldeans, please be more careful. The time is almost up, so it's time to say goodbye————"
"etc!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.
"What's wrong?"
"It's really strange, right? In front of the goddess who knew exactly what we were doing in the sea, all human life was loaded into the ark before the flood without anyone noticing, and it was also hidden under the sea. After such a long time, even if Captain Nemo’s Spiritual Embodiment is added, the possibility of accomplishing all of this is slim!”
After hearing this, the captain smiled mysteriously and then said:
"Even then, isn't there still a possibility of even one in a billion? Aren't you the one who has confirmed the cause and effect with your own hands and the one who should have the most confidence?"
After saying this, the captain completely turned into golden stardust and disappeared into the breeze-swept grassland.
