It seems that the last Crypter, Daybit Sem Void, has a plan of his own, entirely separate from the Foreign God's.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Sion
|
||
He means to use ORT, wherever it is in this Lostbelt, to destroy the entire planet.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Sion
|
||
So our top priority now, ahead of tracking down ORT or cutting down the Tree of Emptiness, is to stop Daybit's plan.

[charaFace D 15]

Though of course, since we have not yet been able to detect the Tree of Emptiness, much less locate it...

@Kadoc

Have you two seen anything around that looked like it could maybe be the Tree of Emptiness?

I agree with Senpai. The surface is completely devastated, while this underground world teems with life.

@Mash
|

I think, if we understood Mictlān's structure, we'd have no trouble figuring out where the Tree of Emptiness is, but...

|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Goredolf
|
||
So it seems clear to me that we'll find Mictlān's Tree of Emptiness at its southernmost point[line 2]the ninth, bottommost stratum, thinking vertically.

And that means once the Storm Border is back up and running, we can fly right to it!

So for now, let's just be patient. Give our technical advisor and Sion time to finish the repairs while we kick back and relax in our air-conditioned rooms!

If we don't do something soon, we won't be able to stop the future where ORT wakes up. And we have no idea how long it will be until that happens.

So the best thing we can do right now is stop Tezcatlipoca and Daybit's plan before they can wake ORT up.

Should ORT wake, we will no longer be able to alter the future Tezcatlipoca showed us.

However, if we can stop ORT from waking, the future is entirely in our hands.

If you think of me as Mictlān's new sun, she's Mictlān's new land. She can never leave the place where she was born.

And that place is the last destination humankind can reach on their own power: the observatory that was built in the seventh stratum.
|

[k]
|

|

@Kukulcan
|
||
It's known as Metztitlán, the Terminal Observatory, and is the home of Princess Xquic, the stargazer known as Archetype: EARTH.

@Kukulcan

She is a duplicate of the planet's soul; she has existed ever since Mictlān first came into being.

No one in this society ever had to feel unnecessary suffering, or want things they could never have.
|

[k]
|

|

@Chin-Stroking Deinos

Complete, yes. I'd say it is. But at the level of a species, maintaining the status quo is effectively regression.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|

@Chin-Stroking Deinos

No matter how stable the world a species lives in may be, if that species never changes at all...
|
||
[k]
|

|

@Chin-Stroking Deinos

...it will only be a matter of time before other species surpass them, effectively causing them to degrade.
|
||
[k]
|

|

@Chin-Stroking Deinos

But this Qin Shi Huang person managed all those changes themself. So long as they never made a mistake, the Chinese Lostbelt would have been powerful indeed.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|

@Chin-Stroking Deinos

And they did not, in fact, make any mistakes, which is why their empire became eternal.

It's just too bad their own lifespan was limited. Not necessarily physically, since they did acquire an immortal body, but mentally.
|

It almost sounds as though the Great Wall they built enclosed their mind as well as their nation.

I'd say it was probably a combination of space travel not seeming to be worth the cost and an interest in pursuing their own evolution. Qin Shi Huang was the ultimate human in a very real sense.
|

|

Their ideology was solipsistic, yes, but that was because they truly believed themselves to be the pinnacle of humanity.

@Da Vinci

And since they were so strong in both mind and body, they probably never saw a need to compare themself to others.
