He was imprisoned in Nibelungen for a thousand years, only to find out upon his release that he was

"Restrictions... But I heard that Mr. Lu Ming and his team have already captured the central hub of the city center."

"Yes! But it seems that the blockade cannot be broken for the time being because there are still ley line nodes that have not been conquered, or Odin has left a backup plan."

The girl's voice continued, "However, the successful deployment of the 'collecting items' means that although people can't leave, the movement of a small number of small items is no longer restricted—"

"that's it?"

"Hehe, that's it, there's absolutely no other purpose!"

......

After confirming the current status of the Nibelungen access restrictions, Francesca hung up the call, humming a little tune, and went to report to Lu Ming.

They also encountered Ishtar on the way.

"Where did Lu Ming go? Isn't he in the city center?"

Francesca made a slightly provocative face. "Of course Master is very busy! Besides, that dilapidated 'Valhalla' is still under renovation!"

"What, do you enjoy living on construction sites? Quite the taste!"

Ishtar: "......"

That mentally ill little brat really deserves a beating.

Never mind, I need her help now.

Patience!

She quickly followed Francesca to Lu Ming's location.

Strangely, the other person's expression was very melancholy.

Ishtar of Francesca noticed this, and Lu Ming even seemed somewhat distracted when receiving the report.

"Yes, yes, Francesca, you did a good job. Now that the access restrictions have been confirmed, let's continue. The information transmission cannot be interrupted."

“In the past, we could only spread the truth about Odin’s actions within this city. Now, we will take this opportunity to spread these truths to far more distant places!”

Lu Ming and Francesca went into the room and talked alone for a while.

Only then was Ishtar summoned.

"What's the matter?"

"Ah, some recent poll results don't seem to have anything noteworthy besides some fanatical factional conflicts... Lu Ming, are you feeling alright?"

"Oh no! This is bad news. To be honest, I have some terrible news, Tiamat. Our next enemy is here."

Lu Ming sighed.

"What?" Ishtar suddenly realized why Lu Ming was missing someone. Just a few days ago, Tiamat had always been by his side.

Francesca, however, sensed something was amiss.

Given Master Lu Ming's personality, this expression seems somewhat problematic... it's too bland.

He didn't even loudly denounce it as a divisive tactic by the evil Odin!

He didn't even spend a few minutes racking his brains on the spot, unleashing his extraordinary wisdom to come up with a solution that left everyone momentarily stunned!

Isn't this... a bit too fake?

"Hey! I'll let you know that I need to focus on my training to prepare for the upcoming battle."

Lu Ming frowned, his lips pressed tightly together. "Aileen is in charge of the 'Valhalla' project, Francesca is continuing to follow up on the previous lines, and as for other matters such as handling public sentiment and maintaining order in the city..."

"Let Ishtar handle this for now."

Ishtar was initially stunned.

Then he was overjoyed.

Clearly, she didn't notice the insincerity in Lu Ming's performance.

The joy that had fallen from the sky and hit him on the head made him feel almost ecstatic.

How long had she been waiting? Finally, her wish came true!

This is a position that wields real power!

All her patience and forbearance over the past long period of time have finally earned Lu Ming's trust!

opportunity!

Taking advantage of this opportunity to manage people's livelihood, she was able to win over the remaining masses in the city who had not yet been brainwashed by Lu Ming.

Moreover, the team's control over the entire Snowfield City allows her to radiate her influence outwards, which is beneficial for her to strengthen her power and gather more like-minded subordinates to join the great cause of resisting Lu Ming and his psychopathic followers!

Speaking of Lu Ming, he actually chose to confront that great Mother Goddess alone. It has to be said that this was a rather irrational choice.

Could it be that they think... that person is the same type as their previous opponent?

In terms of strength, the adult Beast is unparalleled in the world; in terms of immortality, Mother Goddess is miles ahead of you!

You're finished!

From the support team to your own life, Lu Ming, you are destined to face ruin and lose everything!

Ishtar sneered inwardly.

And I, Ishtar, the goddess of Venus who governs beauty, war, and harvest, will lead all beings into a beautiful new era free from mental illness!

The tide has turned!

Volume 1: Chapter 133 While researching unofficial history, I stumbled upon the true history of Jiaqiu.

"I never imagined that one day we would have to sneak into the mold base like thieves."

"Shh! Keep your voice down, senior. Our goal is to collect those small parts along the way. Mr. Cú Chulainn has also gone to look through the database."

"Hey! This invisibility rune is pretty effective, isn't it? The infrared detectors can't see us at all. Mr. Cú Chulainn is really something."

The orange-haired girl began to daydream like this.

"If we had that trick, our work would be so much easier. Why don't we just sneak over to the singularity target after locking onto it, and eliminate them? Wouldn't that save us a lot of trouble?"

“…It’s not that easy.” Mash complained. “Besides, Senpai, Chaldea isn’t an assassin organization, and the process of repairing singularities isn’t all about combat. You can’t play Assassin’s Creed.”

"Can't I just joke around? I'm exhausted from this journey."

The actual Area 51 military base is located hundreds of kilometers away from Xueyuan City.

The group borrowed a private car, floored the gas pedal, and with Cú Chulainn adding a ring of runes that provided acceleration, they finally arrived after about an hour.

During this time, Mashu, with her sharp eyes and great patience, compared the radio parts and found many similar items along the way.

"How is it? Are there any left?" Ritsuka and Mashu had gone around separately, and when they met up again, they were empty-handed. "There are no parts left here."

"I don't have any here either. It seems that the further away from Snowfield City you are, the sparser the distribution of parts becomes..."

Mashu attempted to do an analysis.

"Hey, stop analyzing this and that, it feels like a waste of time. Let's see how Cú Chulainn is doing?"

Ritsuka's patience was about to run out.

The two found Cú Chulainn's location and discovered that he was at a loss in the huge archive room.

The room was filled with piles of dusty report papers, giving me a feeling of being overwhelmed by the data and feeling lost.

Do you really want to look for it?

It feels like a huge waste of time.

Even mold wouldn't bother with this kind of place! So much dust and such a stench—nobody seems to be doing any maintenance!

"..."

Faced with this inexplicably difficult situation, everyone fell silent.

"Why don't we try assembling the new radio parts first? Maybe we can find some clues that will help us narrow down our search."

Ritsuka said decisively.

Cú Chulainn frowned. "Tsk, then I'll go set up a soundproof barrier."

Who knows what rumors and anecdotes about Odin will be circulating here?

I'm really looking forward to it (reading in a monotone).

Having learned from her previous experience, Mashu assembled the machine much more efficiently. During the assembly, a minor malfunction occurred: pressing the buttons seemed to prevent sound from playing, even though the assembly process was correct... So Ritsuka came over, gave the machine a couple of hard taps, and the problem was solved.

The U.S. Air Force base known as Area 51 is said to be a frequent site for testing and training of the latest aircraft due to its high level of secrecy.

But the place I investigated was already desolate and deserted, surrounded by endless desert, with only a solitary building standing there.

I conducted my investigation within the base, shrouded in shadow, and learned several facts. Although I would like to incorporate my own insights into the description, time is running out, and I can only leave the facts.

[...In 1950, a computing device called the Laplace Computer Demon was successfully developed at this base.]

The project participants included a group of alchemists, Odin's forces, and the America military.

In addition, the latter two also conducted biological experiments with extremely high levels of secrecy and covering a very wide range of sub-fields.

In the simplest, most straightforward, and most direct way, it was human experimentation.

【...】

The recording was unexpectedly long and rich in content.

Ritsuka and Mashu gaped, their expressions one of utter astonishment.

Laplace's computer magic, isn't that equipment from Chaldea?

Investigating a clue, I suddenly found myself connected to my own family?

Eating melons and ending up eating your own melon.jpg

Cú Chulainn: "..."

So why do you Chaldea have to add Odin to your own affairs?

Everything needs to be based on evidence!

"Let's look for the documents; that should make verification easier. Laplace's computer magic and human experimentation should fall under Information Engineering... and Biology respectively..."

After several tens of minutes, the three of them searched through the dust and smoke for a long time before finally finding a few old, yellowed pieces of paper that were almost eaten away by insects.

"Is it that badly damaged?"

"After all, it's something from decades ago. Even if there are records, judging from the fact that it's not maintained at all, it's unlikely to survive."

"I've suddenly started to worry that one day in the future, technology will regress, and human development will rely on archaeology, only to discover things we can't understand..."

"That's impossible, senior!"

"Just kidding, just kidding."

Ritsuka disdainfully blew a few breaths on the dusty old paper.

"Key information has been erased... Hmm, come to think of it, it does actually sound a bit like Chaldea's reporting style...?"

After reading the contents, the veteran employee Mashu, with her sharp eyes, quickly noticed something amiss.

It's described as a three-way collaborative research project, but each party clearly has its own responsibilities. The recordings also reveal the participants, and a quick comparison makes it easy to identify which part of the content is the responsibility of which faction.

"I see!"

As Ritsuka listened to Mashu's method of differentiation, even though her academic level was originally insufficient, she vaguely understood the difference.

"So this one is from the Atlas Institute... this one is from the America Military... and finally, this one, the most obscure and with the least content, is Odin—"

"Cough cough!"

Cú Chulainn couldn't help but speak up, "At present, there shouldn't be any evidence to link this kind of experimental project with Odin!"

There's no signature, and most of the remaining materials have been destroyed or erased. Is it reasonable to convict Odin based on just one sentence from that recording?

And why would he suddenly come here and collaborate with a bunch of human magicians and alchemists on some inexplicable project?

Don't you have anything better to do?

"However, there is currently no evidence to suggest that Odin was not involved in these experiments."

Mashu seriously argued back.

Cú Chulainn: "..."
