＠Nikola Tesla
The AC/DC Debate![sr]Also known as the war of the currents!
[k]

＠Nikola Tesla
You may think I'm just retreading the same ground as usual, but hear me out. Whatever you call it, this battle is the very essence of the eternal conflict between him and me!
[k]

＠Nikola Tesla
Alternating current!?
[k]

＠Nikola Tesla
Or direct current!?
[k]

[charaFace A 0]

＠Nikola Tesla
Needless to say, as of the twenty-first century, civilization has proved beyond all doubt that alternating current is the superior technology...
[k]

＠Nikola Tesla
...but in 1891, that mangy plebeian refused to see the truth. All he ever cared about was lining his own pockets.

Thus, I responded with my greatest feat of high-frequency, high-voltage engineering; the crystallization of all my hard work and accumulated wisdom to that date!
[k]

＠Nikola Tesla
I speak, of course, of using my Tesla coils,[sr]Tesla circuits, and hydraulic transformers...
[k]

＠Nikola Tesla
...to conduct an electricity generation experiment at Niagara Falls in collaboration with the Westinghouse Company!

Sir Benjamin Franklin may have proven that lightning could be tamed with his invention of the lightning rod, but I...went many steps further!
[k]

[charaFace A 2]

＠Nikola Tesla
I accomplished the greatest feats of electricity humanity has ever seen! I am the true professor of thunder and lightning!
[k]

＠Nikola Tesla
I am the one who relegated Zeus, Jupiter, Thor, Perkūnas, and countless other gods to relics of the past! I am the embodiment of the myth of humanity!

Indeed, three-phase alternating electrical current is the very hope of all humanity!

[charaFace A 1]

[k]

[charaFace A 0]

？！

＠Nikola Tesla
Well, it's really quite simple.
[k]

＠Nikola Tesla
The myth of humanity is just that,[sr]a myth involving humanity.
[k]

[charaFace A 1]

＠Nikola Tesla
It is a myth that follows mankind's footsteps towards the future in real time, rather than looking back to retrace the footsteps of old and irrelevant gods.
[k]

＠Nikola Tesla
It is, in other words,[sr]a wholly new myth for modern times.
[k]

？1：Did you talk about it when you were alive, too?
？2：Hmm. I don't remember reading about it in any of your biographies...

？！

＠Nikola Tesla
I may have discussed it when I was still alive, but I'm certain it would never have found its way into a book.
[k]

＠Nikola Tesla
After all, there were far too many experts in the world, mages included, for me to delve too deeply into myths of this nature.
[k]

[charaFace A 4]

＠Nikola Tesla
While I was indeed a poet, musician, and philosopher in addition to being a prodigious engineer, I was neither a mage nor a hermeneutician, so it didn't seem my place to pursue.

Haha, it's the name of my system designed to completely control lightning; a system that can provide alternating current through the very skies!

[charaFace A 2]

＠Nikola Tesla
Imagine a vast amount of energy, enough to reach every corner of the planet! A mechanism to supply electrical power wherever it is needed, forever freed from the constraints of wires!

＠Nikola Tesla
If the World System were to be successfully installed, covering the whole world, there would no longer be energy haves and have-nots.

The Age of Gods is over. True Ether is long since gone. Mankind has left Mystics far behind.

＠Nikola Tesla
Myth and legends have both been relegated to the distant past, where they now hold no more sway than mere illusion.
[k]

＠Nikola Tesla
As humanity continued to further civilization and establish greater footholds into science, the old gods' bodies faded away, until they were no more than hazy Divine Spirits.
[k]

＠Nikola Tesla
In mage circles, it is said that while this world was once abundant in Mystics...
[k]

＠Nikola Tesla
...it has since become a world abundant in civilization, where even those with no specialized knowledge can enjoy the benefits of technology and energy.
[k]

[charaFace A 5]

＠Nikola Tesla
...But is that really true, my fair madam?
[k]

＠Nikola Tesla
Even today, a vast supply of magical energy née mana remains manifest throughout the planet...
[k]

＠Nikola Tesla
...and Mystics continue to engage in mysterious machinations, even reaching a point where the very world itself teeters on the brink of destruction.
[k]

＠Nikola Tesla
Indeed, I perceive both the great undertaking that was the Incineration of Humanity and the bleached Earth disaster to be the inevitable endpoint of Mystics themselves.
