Last Embryo - Side Story Compilation Chapter 26

*Pi* — Canaria pointed up her forefinger and continued with a proud expression.

“Yes, it is the borrowing of the name of an important figure from the past and at the same time, borrowing the “Veneration of the Dead” and their authority. So by a.s.suming this, we can find a lead to the solution with the time paradox occurred on the Outer Worlds.”

“In short, the first Maeve and the second Maeve are real and the one in the tomb that existed since Year 2500 BC is the original Maeve?”

“Correct. I believed the matter at hand can be identified as the result from the circ.u.mstance that wasn’t written in the [Lebor Gabála Érenn]. I don’t whether if that person’s parents aiming after her authority or genuine “Veneration of the Dead”, though.”

Hmm, the G.o.d King folded his arms and considered about her reasoning.

As he thought, there was a blind spot.

To take and introduce yourself by the name of an ancestral spirit, isn’t a sort of special and rare story from a worldwide view.

Like those from Indian Pantheon, a vast amount of people claimed themselves as the [Reincarnation of Krishna] to borrow the authority as an avatar of that Great G.o.d.

It was more than enough for them to be recognized as an avatar before anyone knows.

*Chirari* (1), the G.o.d King turned his line of sight to Scathach and asked her, meanwhile his eyes was secretly peeking on her breast.

“Scathach. I wanted some information. Do you know anything else about Queen Maeve? Her legend or emblem of whatever, just give out anything you could.”

“Even if you said so, I’m not that knowledgeable regarding the oldest queen of mankind…… Ah, wait, there is something, however.”

“What it is?”

“It is about the “Castle of Shadow” that I reigned, but that thing seems to be originally corresponded to the shadow of the “Queen’s Castle”. What I am trying to say is whether the “Queen’s Castle” was a s.h.i.+ning object or at least related to the rise and the fall of the Sun or not.”

“Hoho, the Sun, you said? Any basis for that?”

“Because the queen’s flag is also of the Three G.o.ddesses represent the flag of [Trinity].”

“Ah, the G.o.ddesses denote concepts like Fate, Life and Death, Victory? They do seem to be concepts in common with the foundation of the faith in the Sun!”

“Yes. The fact the Solar G.o.d Lugh of the Celtic Mythology isn’t a Strongest Species also caught my eyes. He might has been a Solar G.o.d in name only, but his actual state is an “unnatural Divine Spirit” aka a former human acquired Divinity through “Veneration of the Dead”.”

“Since the premise of Balor is “a human existed in historical fact” has become clear, everything won’t fit if his descendant – Solar G.o.d Lugh was an “unnatural Divine Spirit”.”

The G.o.d King recalled the topic “Celtic Mythology doesn’t have a creation myth” from Aira while observing Scathach’s breast.

“They don’t have either a unique creation myth nor a natural-born Divine Spirit that is a Strongest Species. Instead, there is an ancient royal tomb existed since Year 2500 BC……?”

This Paradox Game was written to hide some king of mystery on purpose. Or, it might has been something meant for tailoring the false history book of [Lebor Gabála Érenn] into [Another Cosmology] (2).

The first Queen Maeve — the figure known as the “Queen of Elin” is undoubtedly held information related to the Holy Land of the Star.

Knowing the original utilization of the Crown Stone (Lia Fáil) would likely increase the chance of obtaining a method to oppose Demon King Dystopia.

However, since they haven’t able to identify who is that queen, so they can’t find a way to contact her as it is now.

She might has hidden her name and arrived the Little Garden without their knowledge even, but they haven’t found a way to deal with that yet.

Then, they need to change their perspective.

“Scathach. Have you ever made contact with the Three G.o.ddesses engraved on the queen’s flag yet?”

“…..My apology. Not only I’m not that much of an acquaintance to them, and since it has been a long time since our destruction, so even if they are alive, they would be hiding and kept themselves vigilant as much as possible.”

Is that so?, the G.o.d King signed.

Not only whether they are alive or not, but there is also a chance they are on wary of others. If so, the investigation about the “Queen of Elin” might prove very difficult.

Everyone dropped their shoulders, seeing they have lost a clue leading to a countermeasure against the Demon King.

Yet, that moment — it might has been Canaria alone, but she is putting her hands on the waist, wearing an extremely boastful face.

“Fufufu. So even G.o.d King-sama, Master and everyone else fell into a deadlock……?”

“And you seemed to enjoy this situation…… Did you have anything come to your mind?”

“Yes, I do. I started the discussion about this reasoning for that alone.”

*Tug*, Canaria puts up a Datemegane (3).

She listed existing important keywords to the whiteboard.

Information about Lia Fáil aka the “Crown Stone”.
The mystery of the “Queen of Elin” and her royal tomb.
The flag of [Trinity] and the G.o.ddesses.

The name of the most important figure connects all of these keywords.

That name is—

“—G.o.d King-sama, do you know a witch goes by the name of [Morgan le Fay]?”

(1) A sound effect. It represents “quick sideways glance”. You can check for reference.

(2) The original raw is 疑似創世図. This could be a typo due both 疑似創世図 and 疑似創星図 – Another Cosmology have familiar p.r.o.nunciation, or a higher level [Another Cosmology] since Canaria and everyone were talking about something that can tailor [[Lebor Gabála Érenn] – an already Another Cosmology into 疑似創世図. Sadly, the word doesn’t have furigana so I have to stick with [Another Cosmology] until the author releases furigana.
