Chapter 342 – 4. Serpent’s Offspring (0)
The contents recorded in the black box of the space station ISS were very different from what Yuria learned at the Human Innovation League.
Contrary to the saying that it was difficult to live on Earth anymore due to sea level rise, environmental destruction, and other factors, the Earth was far from extinction, unlike the saying that it escaped the Earth and advanced into space.
Of course, it was never a good environment to live in, but should I say that it was quite far from what I had learned.
Even if the sea level rose and major cities were submerged and the land to live on decreased a lot, some countries were ruined, but it was not so bad if you look at ‘humanity’ as a whole. .
However, during this period, the political system changed to a form of centralization rather than democracy.
In such a form that the commander-in-chief is not the king, but the government has fairly strong powers and the power of the citizens is greatly reduced.
However, the right to vote itself is still held by the citizens, so the government is in such a subtle state that it cannot be very openly tyrannical.
In the midst of a global environmental reorganization, the existing system can no longer sustain society, so temporarily trying to fix all the national systems and infrastructure, as well as the entire social system, was inevitably a system that was created because a general mobilization system similar to martial law was established. Politicians in power did not let go of that power, and the second aristocratic era began.
In the meantime, the so-called ‘high-ranking people’ are healthier than ever. Live longer than I wanted to be better than I was, but the road was very far.
On the contrary, mankind began to degenerate rather than evolve any more, and the ‘high-ranking people’ who were alert to it went into immediate research thinking that this should not happen.
This is the result of research on why mankind is degenerating.
1. Humanity no longer culls out weak individuals and protects them in the name of human rights, so it is less likely that better factors will leave more descendants.
2. Humankind has almost no natural enemies on Earth enough to go against the theory of natural selection, and the standard for selecting a mate is no longer a ‘biological’ superior individual.
3. Humankind, which has evolved over evolution and finally reached the present, was not originally born with the assumption that it would have this appearance and function. It is genetically very promiscuous, and in fact has reached evolutionary saturation.
In addition to that, there were countless other minor reasons, but the biggest reasons were listed as the above three.
Then, what should I do to become a more perfect being?
So mankind has implemented a new genome project.
In order to be reborn as a new human race through a complete interpretation of the existence of genes rather than simply interpreting the genes of mankind.
And as the plan progressed, dissatisfaction began to build up among the citizens.
With those who lived in a generation in which citizens, at least for a time, were the subjects of democracy.
For the citizens who inherited the idea of freedom from such parents, the current era, like the old feudal system, was too much oppression, and such dissatisfaction was boiling only inside under the heavy lid of power, but it was changing like a time bomb that could explode at any time. .
Those in power weren’t fools either, and they made choices about it.
Anyway, this genetic reorganization work will not end in their own generation, and it may take hundreds or thousands of years.
Deciding that it would be difficult to go ahead with these free-spirited citizens, they made a different decision.
Then let’s raise ‘real slaves’ who will only listen to us, and go somewhere other than this Earth and establish their own kingdom.
So they secretly gathered people.
Like an orphan that no one would care about even if they disappeared. Young refugees in poor countries. Children of the poorest people, etc.
Excellent children are educated and brought up as slaves.
Insufficient children were used as subjects for biological experiments.
And they, who were thinking of abandoning the earth anyway, harshly governed the earth and mankind in earnest and exploited them as harshly as squeezing dry rags.
And they took 5,000 pairs of very excellent workers, men and women who were raised as slaves so thoroughly, and boarded a giant immigration ship that was being built at the space station of the ISS and left the earth.
But was it a punishment of its own? They disappeared from this world as the trajectory of the warp and the giant black hole they had not discovered exactly matched, and they wanted peace to come to Earth as the vicious rulers disappeared with their slaves.
When the controlling power disappeared, it was chaotic for a while, but mankind quickly began to adapt to freedom and regain order, and it was at that time that true peace finally came.
A sudden invasion of Earth has begun.
A monster.
Heterogeneous people.
And mysterious beings that have never been seen on Earth.
If they had appeared normally, mankind might have succeeded in resisting.
However, their appearance was unusual.
Aaaaa!!
1st Earth Strike.
It is the first catastrophe that has not even been recorded on the ground, and the first garbage dumping toward the earth by the ‘high people’ who have not yet been named the Human Reform League.
The black hole that swallowed the ‘high people’ who escaped the earth became a white hole, and something with a huge mass spewed out to hit the earth.
The shock was so great that it reset the existing civilization, and the earth got out of its original orbit due to the shock, and it took an egg-shaped elliptical orbit, and one orbit was almost the same as before, but one orbit was slightly further away.
As a result, the earth stood upright from a slightly tilted axis of rotation, but the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter were still maintained due to the temperature difference caused by the distorted orbital difference.
Of course, the process has never been smooth.
An impact that shakes the axis of rotation and causes the orbit to shift.
And the orbit between the moon and the earth was also messed up, and the earth’s environment became extremely unstable, and even the civilization barely remaining from the first earth strike began to collapse helplessly in this.
What is ironic is that the Earth, which should have been destroyed, was able to survive thanks to the very existence that caused Earth Strike.
This existence, called the Book of Remegeton, was shattered the moment it collided, dispersing most of the impact in an instant. By calming down the abandoned Earth’s environment, it was possible to prevent the Earth from falling into catastrophe.
However, in addition to protecting and protecting the Earth, the Book of Remegeton, which was abandoned on Earth, has brought about a cataclysm in a different way to the Earth.
A new energy called mana was born in this land. New races that did not exist on Earth were released to this land.
Those are monsters.
For mankind, who barely survived the first Earth Strike, this was too great a disaster to handle.
In the midst of a collapsed civilization, mankind continued a tough struggle in front of the new enemies of mankind.
Wasn’t it said that humans are adaptable creatures?
Humans adapted to the new power of mana appeared, and through the training method developed by referring to ancient martial arts, mankind, holding the new power in their hands, somehow managed to continue their lives, struggling.
Even though they may not be able to become the losers of this land again, another disaster has struck mankind, which somehow managed to pass the risk of extinction.
The 1st Lunar Strike.
Glad if you’re lucky. Unhappiness if unhappiness.
The second strike took place on the moon, not on Earth.
Due to something colliding with the far side of the moon, the distance between the moon and the earth has narrowed considerably.
Of course, it was fortunate that the narrowing was not so much a problem for the Earth, but due to the collision on this day, the moon began to show strange magical powers.
The identity of something that fell on the far side of the moon was not known from the ISS records, but it seemed clear that this was also something that the ‘higher person’ had abandoned.
In any case, thanks to that, the magic concentration of the earth began to rise even more.
Even after that, the dumping of garbage toward the earth continued.
1st Mars Strike.
This collision re-heated Mars’ core, which had cooled down, and Mars began to bubble up.
The magnetic field started spinning again, shielding it from the solar wind, and the polar ice melted, giving it some degree of ocean.
But even so, Mars, where the ecosystem itself had completely disappeared, was a desolate and barren land, and new races appeared on such a Mars land.
It’s the ‘Evils’.
From this point on, an endless struggle between the demons and mankind to plunder the earth, a better place to live, took place.
Before the invasion of Earth centered on the Demon King.
The 2nd Earth Strike occurred.
Compared to the first, the impact was very weak, and the spiritual barrier made by each other of Remegeton still remained intact, so compared to the first, the second earth strike had almost no impact.
However, the 2nd strike was a catastrophe in a sense and a blessing in a sense.
Due to the 2nd strike, the first unknown world tree was planted on Earth, and through it, elves and dwarves. Fairies and the like began to appear in this world.
And above all, the earth’s environment, which has not yet been properly restored, began to stabilize and recover more rapidly.
However, fairies such as elves and dwarves were never friendly to mankind, and mankind was greeted with new beings to compete and compete for territory with each other as new races were born to deal with monsters besides themselves.
And the first Pandemonium Invasion occurred.
Remegeton’s mutual barrier, which had been strong until now, was punctured by the 2nd Earth Strike, and the demons did not miss the opportunity.
Humans and fairies, who had been fighting over each other’s territory until now, realized that it would be impossible to fight among themselves and even deal with the demons when a new enemy called the demons appeared, so they temporarily formed an alliance and entered into a long war with the demons.
In the meantime, hybrids of fairies, demons, and humans were created unintentionally, and those who were born this way sided with the demons or the union of humans and fairies, announcing the birth of another new race.
After the war, such mixed races were stabilized as races, and the races that were born were Dark Elves and Dark Dwarves. And they were the beasts.
Although they succeeded in protecting the earth, humanity and the fairies suffered a huge blow, and in the process, humanity lost most of the legacy of the past that had been lost otherwise.
And even after that, Earth Strike or Moon Strike often. Mars strikes occurred periodically, and each time the world was greatly shaken, new beings appeared and new phenomena appeared, throwing the world into great chaos.
Looking back on this situation, Yuria suddenly realized one fact.
Manado. Heterogeneous too. That all of these things were in fact abandoned to Earth from the other world.
The World Tree was set on fire in the 2nd Pandemonium Invasion.
However, during this process, several large branches of the World Tree were blown in all directions, and new World Trees, large and small, were born all over the world.
However, the surface layer was completely burned down, and since the World Tree barely blossomed from its roots, it was virtually no different from being born again.
And the human species, which had already lost most of their previous wisdom, were not very helpful in this invasion of the demon realm, and the different races, who thought that the human species were no longer needed, thought that now was an opportunity for them to become the masters of this land, and Shortly after stopping the invasion of the demon world, the First Tribal War broke out.
Unlike the beginning, the weakened mankind was helplessly pushed away by the heterogeneous union, and a light came down on mankind just as they were about to perish.
That is her own daughter. Tia.
It was Thebenoa.
Tia, who was taken in by a childless couple, gave humanity her knowledge and wisdom, which she did not know where she came from, and before she knew it, Tia became the king representing the species called humanity, uniting the powerless humanity and resisting from the different races. Moved on
Although sluggish at first, Tia finally put an end to her race war with a long lifespan unmatched by that of the normal human species and enormous strength unmatched by humans.
Neither had a winner.
It was the end of the war because both of them could only be destroyed at this rate.
After that, Tia put restrictions on the human kingdom to some extent.
Her magic was forbidden, the use of mana was limited to aura, and only attribute powers due to natural changes were allowed, not magic.
Perhaps it was because the world placed restrictions on Tia in solving her scientific knowledge, and it was done to encourage her to develop her science.
In fact, mankind’s only hope would have been science, since it was impossible for humans to develop superhuman abilities normally.
At first, there was great resistance, but the existence of Tia, who became the great king of mankind and a de facto religion, was able to lightly suppress such resistance, and the absence of so many superpowers made Tia’s very existence a breakwater while mankind developed science. And blocked it
And soon.
Due to their superior fertility compared to other races, humans gradually began to emerge as the mainstream species in this world.
And when mankind stood tall again, did he think that he no longer needed to rely on Tia?
Despite Tia’s order not to, the second race war broke out.
It was done in a different way from the first time.
It was a war for humans to hunt heterogeneous people as slaves.
The 3rd Mage invasion rebelled against the car that mankind was trying to become the sole owner of this land.
In the end, this time again, the human race and the heterogeneous race were in a state of dog-wonship with each other, but temporarily holding hands and becoming one to stop the demons, and in fact, humanity, which had no other strengths except for the population, declined greatly.
However, despite this, the different races also suffered great damage, and even though they were human beings who suffered devastating damage, they still had forces that could not be ignored.
The scattered non-human races unite as one and form a great union.
This was the birth of the Gash United Kingdom, a heterogeneous federation.
And although it is not visible from the records of the ISS, Yuria could feel that the gods were interfering with the Earth from the first Earth Strike.
It’s hard to say that Earth was safe with just the power of Remegeton’s book.
And the power of Remegeton’s book was too insufficient to calm and restore the devastated environment of the Earth.
Gods.
No, the ‘divine beings’, who are considered gods from the standpoint of mankind, have been intervening in the earth’s environment, phenomena, and concepts from that day until now, and have maintained the earth’s environment, which can no longer be maintained naturally. The scattered remnants of power dwelled in the beings who believed in them and began to be called ‘divine power’.
And.
It’s not enough to call it a strike, but considering the aftermath of this incident, a phenomenon that should be called a strike occurred.
Exiled hero.
A being who will later become a god named Kronos.
It was Cain.
Cain, like himself, became a disgrace and was on the verge of dying.
Physical injuries are not the problem. Like herself, she suffered major injuries that destroyed her spiritual body.
Tia rescued Cronus, nursed him, and healed him.
To Tia, the only future human species on this earth, Cain was the only being like herself in this world.
Tia didn’t know at this time. That Cain will become a being called Kronos.
That’s why, to Tia, Cain was like a Loa to Yuria.
Although they did not marry to share their souls, it was Cain who took Tia’s maiden.
Seeing that part, Yuria became fierce and glared at Cronus.
『Kuhm! Now, mother-in-law?』
“I’ve never had a son-in-law like you.”
A relationship like a couple in fact.
However, the two became gods before becoming a couple.
Cain became a god before Tia.
And Tia also became a god, and when she became a god, the two realized a lot.
More truth.
In the midst of that, Cronus, burning with a greater vengeance than ever before, reached out to Tia.
To help yourself
But even after knowing the whole truth, Tia couldn’t do that.
To Tia, humanity was more precious than anything else.
Above all, if he followed his plan, he would not be able to meet her mother.
Thus, the First World War broke out.
A quarrel between a married couple who is not a married couple.
“I can’t accept this relationship!!”
『Come on, mother-in-law!?』
