"After the world line changed, why can the protagonist still retain his memory?"
"I don't know, but there is no doubt that he will have unimaginable advantages if he possesses this ability. If he can use the time machine without limit and change the world line, he can probably be called a god."
"By the way, where did the changed world line go? Has it disappeared? Or does it still exist somewhere in time and space?"
“It’s so mysterious. Although the plot doesn’t have any big highlights, the imagination space of this Steins;Gate is simply amazing.”
"I can't wrap my mind around this anymore..."
"… "
The audience expressed such feelings one after another. At this moment, everyone felt a shock from the bottom of their soul.
After all, ordinary people of this era had never been exposed to general "science fiction" or even fantasy works. Suddenly, a movie with a grand theme related to time and space came out, and they were all completely shocked.
At this moment, everyone opened their eyes wide, wanting to see the sequel to the movie and knowing what amazing things the protagonist Okabe Ryutaro would do after gaining the ability to change the world line.
…
As time passed, Okabe Ryotaro stood alone on the rooftop, thinking about the theory John Titor had told him, and he increasingly understood the fact that the world was changing.
But this made him even more terrified, because after the world line changed, he was the only one who still retained the memory before the change.
For this reason, Rintaro Okabe couldn't help but send an email to the time traveler John Titor, informing him that he used email to change the past.
A moment later, John Titor sent a reply.
"Changing the past through emails is something that I have never imagined even in 2036. Your actions changed the past and moved the world line, but after changing the world line, you still maintained your memory and were able to observe the entire process. This special individual has never appeared even in the future. Therefore, Kyouma, maybe you have this ability. If it is you, you may be able to guide the world in the direction of a 1% change in the world line value."
"The world line change value is 1%? What does that mean?"
"When the world line changes by more than 1%, the world will be truly free. If we don't cross this wall, the future will be filled with despair. My mission is to change the future, and you may be able to become the savior!"
“Are you kidding me?!”
Even Okabe Ryutaro couldn't help but break down at this shocking fact and threw his phone away in anger.
But after that, he finally picked up the phone again, and after a long while, the second-year spirit spread over his body again, and he suddenly shouted:
"Really? Am I the only one who has this ability? If so, let's continue the experiment. Let me become the savior of this world!"
So, the next day, the experiment was conducted again.
This time, Okabe Rintaro conducted the same experiment again and sent lottery emails to the past again.
However, the result was surprisingly similar to the last time. Ryukako came to the door again, apologized, and said that she had made a mistake. She also brought some fruits as an apology.
In response to this, Okabe Ryutaro sighed and was about to rethink the content of the new email, but he didn't expect that Kiryu Moeka in the distance suddenly sent a D-mail when no one noticed!
In an instant, the screen went dark again, a string of numbers flashed by, and Okabe Rintaro was standing in the middle of the research institute in surprise.
Then, when he asked the members of the research institute, he was surprised to find that Kiryu Moeki had disappeared from everyone's memory!
…
The plot went out of control again, leaving all the audience stunned.
Although it had long been speculated that D-mail could change the world line, when the world line really changed and caused many details to be completely different from the previous world line, the audience was still completely stunned.
"I don't know why, but I always find it a little scary."
"Yeah, yeah, I feel a chill down my spine."
"When I watched Goblin Slayer and saw those ugly goblin monsters, I wasn't scared at all, but now I'm really a little panicked."
“Changing the past, changing the world, these things seem beautiful, but when they really happen, I feel horrified.”
"What principle is this based on? What underlying program does this world follow? What kind of existence is above time?"
"It's so annoying..."
"… "
At this moment, the audience showed various kinds of panic.
The ability to change the world, something that is almost romantic in a certain sense, now brings an inexplicable fear to everyone when it really happens.
This is easy to understand. After all, this is the instinctive fear that tiny creatures feel when facing an unprecedentedly vast universe.
Compared with the vast universe, tiny human beings are not even as big as a speck of sand, just like a grain of sand melting into the sea.
Whenever one thinks of this, one would instinctively feel helpless.
At the same time, not only ordinary people, at this moment, knights, magicians, imperial generals, imperial kings, and even great sages at the pinnacle of human power, all felt this sense of panic on the spiritual level.
In such an era, watching science fiction works such as "Steins;Gate" has, in a sense, far exceeded everyone's imagination under the limited thinking.
…
The pace of the "Steins;Gate" movie gradually picks up.
After experiencing the world line jump that almost directly changed the interpersonal relationships of Kiryu Moeka, Ryukako suddenly found Okabe Rintaro and said that she also wanted to send a D-mail to him.
Because although he is a man, he has a girl's face, and he is indeed dissatisfied with his male identity and hopes to change his gender.
For this, although Okabe Rintaro was a little surprised, he still agreed.
Afterwards, everyone made some preparations and, taking advantage of a rumor that "eating more meat during pregnancy will lead to a boy, while eating more vegetables will lead to a girl," they sent an email asking Ryukako's mother to eat more vegetables.
In an instant, the numbers on the screen began to jump again, and finally stopped at 0.456903.
When Okabe Rintaro came to his senses, he found himself standing alone in the room of the research institute. Others were sitting on the sofa chatting idly, including Ryukako who was wearing the same clothes as before.
Seeing that Rikako's appearance and figure were almost exactly the same as before, Okabe Rintaro subconsciously thought that this experiment had failed and no longer took it to heart.
However, the next day, Okabe Ryutaro was suddenly surprised to discover an almost horrifying fact.
The IBN5100 that was in the box is gone.
For this reason, just when he thought that it was just taken away or hidden, when he went to ask Makise Kurisu, she told him:
"IBN5100? Don't we have no idea where this thing is?"
Chapter 192: The end of the first part, the audience’s anger!
Chapter 192
The development of the plot has become completely confusing at this moment.
Because of sending D-mails twice in a row, the past was changed on a large scale, and Okabe Ryutaro found that many details had changed.
After sending that D-mail for Ryukako, IBN5100 no longer appeared at the shrine and essentially disappeared without a trace.
After Kiryu Moeka disappeared from the previous world line, she once again inexplicably established a connection with the research institute in this world line.
People in the research institute have different opinions on the progress of the experiment, but no matter which aspect, the details of sending D-mails are completely different from the previous world line.
In this situation, Okabe Rintaro was in distress and finally decided to find IBN5100 first.
Considering that this machine was originally dedicated to the shrine by Ferris's father, Okabe Rintaro went to look for clues about Ferris's inquiry about IBN5100.
But in the process, Phyllis accidentally learned about the time machine including D-mail.
So, she took the initiative to propose to Okabe Rintaro that she could tell him the clue of IBN5100, but she needed to send a D-mail to the past.
Faced with this fact, Okabe Rintaro struggled for a while, and finally chose to agree reluctantly. After all, apart from this, he had no other clues related to IBN5100.
However, Phyllis refused to tell Okabe Rintaro the content of the email she was going to send.
Under such circumstances, Okabe Rintaro finally agreed to the other party.
So, Okabe Rintaro first notified his assistant in the research institute, Makise Kurisu, to prepare the mobile phone oven, and asked Phyllis to send an email after it was ready.
At the moment of sending the email, Phyllis seemed to hesitate, until Okabe Rintaro reminded her, the girl finally came to her senses and pressed the button on the phone.
"Click..."
The screen went black again, and when Okabe Ryutaro came to his senses, a middle-aged man in a suit appeared in front of him.
Phyllis rushed in from outside, hugged the other person, and said with a smile:
"dad!!"
"dad?"
Faced with this fact, Okabe Rintaro trembled.
Because, in his memory, Phyllis's father had clearly died in an accident a long time ago.
But now, the other party has changed the outcome of death and is alive to this day.
Realizing that the changes in the world line this time were far greater than he had imagined, Okabe Ryutaro was stunned for a long time before he slowly spoke:
"You are Phyllis's father, right? IBN5100 should be in your hands, right?"
"Ah, that one you mean? I sold it to someone a long time ago, and I don't even know who it was."
"What?!"
Unexpectedly, in this world line, IBN5100 disappeared without a trace, and Okabe Ryutaro was suddenly stunned.
After leaving Phyllis's house, Okabe Rintaro wanted to return to his research institute, but found that he was lost while walking.
Faced with the unfamiliar scenery all around him, an indescribable fear suddenly surged into his heart. He immediately checked the shops nearby one by one, but found that none of them were familiar to him.
The entire street has changed in this world line!
Just because of an email, everyone's destiny has changed!
At this moment, Okabe Rintaro finally realized what he had done and what had changed!
Suddenly, for some reason, a butterfly flew to the edge of the movie screen. The butterfly flew and flew, and actually caused a huge storm.
At the same time, a narrator begins to verbalize the concept of the butterfly effect.
…
The audience was very excited when they heard the concept of the butterfly effect in a theoretical form for the first time.
After all, people in this world are basically exposed to the concept of "science fiction" for the first time, and they are extremely interested in even the most superficial things.
"The butterfly effect? That does make sense."
"Let's not talk about the butterfly effect in reality. In this game Steins;Gate, every email sent by the protagonist can be regarded as a butterfly flapping its wings to change fate. Even a small change can lead to a huge change in everyone's fate."
"Yeah, anyway, even though there are many parts of this movie that I don't understand, it's still good to watch, and it's inexplicably awesome."
"But I still want to know what kind of conflict will break out later. Are we just going to rely on D-mail to keep jumping world lines and not confront that SERN head-on?"
"Eh? That's too boring. I'm looking forward to the exciting battle scenes later."
"… "
The audience was discussing this, and although some people thought the current plot was a bit boring and there were not enough explosive moments, they still watched it patiently.
…
Imperial School of Magic.
Magicians were also extremely surprised by the butterfly effect theory described in "Steins;Gate".
After all, although most magicians have a certain understanding of this concept, this is the first time it has been told as completely as in a movie.
At this moment, most of the magicians were talking excitedly.
"The flapping of a butterfly's wings causes a storm, and a slight change in history causes huge fluctuations in the entire historical line. If you think about it carefully, the two are indeed very similar."
"The theory of butterfly flapping wings is similar to wind element magic. The best way to control the strong wind is often not to use large-scale magic to twist the world, but to use tiny magic to make amplitudes and indirectly trigger the formation of storms."
"Yes, the theory of wind elemental magic is almost identical to the butterfly effect."
"I didn't expect that this theory could be applied to the concepts of space and time machines. It's really beyond people's imagination."
"I'm now wondering what other magical theories this movie can come up with."
"… "
…
At the same time, at the top of the Mage's Tower.
After reading the description of the butterfly effect, Dean Hohenheim thought deeply for a long time and finally said with emotion:
"If this theory could be proposed earlier, the development of wind-related forbidden spells in the magic world would probably be taken to a higher level. In the past, due to the disorder and difficulty in controlling the wind element, the wind element has never produced a reasonable sixth-order forbidden spell. The few forbidden spell samples were mixed element forbidden spells that required the coordination of multiple elements. But the theory of the butterfly effect has allowed me to see the possibility of the birth of a pure wind element forbidden spell."
"Uh, is it that great?"
