Starting from Toaru Majutsu no Index, take stock of the supreme world of anime!

[Before the emergence of Archean cells, one or more cycles of rise and fall of organic life had already taken place on Earth, and they had evolved and differentiated billions of years ago.]

【Until 10:15 pm】

[The sudden major discovery made everyone hold their breath]

"Orlando and Watkin had flashlights."

"A huge barrel-shaped fossil was discovered at 9:45. We have no idea what it is, but it might be a plant."

"As tough as leather, yet surprisingly soft in certain areas."

"It's damaged at both ends and around the perimeter. It's six feet long and three and a half feet wide in the middle, tapering to one inch at each end. There are five raised ridges around the barrel."

"Only one remains intact, and it stretches nearly seven feet long."

"Further autopsy analysis is required upon returning to camp."

"Wait! A group of specimens were found underground about forty feet from the cave entrance."

"There are thirteen, or more!"

"Eight of the creatures discovered were perfectly preserved, with all their organs attached!"

Lake's voice was filled with excitement.

Because for the biological world.

This discovery is as significant as Einstein was to the world of mathematics and physics!

And he will also be the role that will go down in history and lay the foundation for all of this!

but.

William Dale's face did not look too excited.

Because the description in the telegram reminded him of some monsters in ancient mythology.

Especially the legendary ancients mentioned in the Book of the Dead!

"Ancient One."

"Legend has it that they once created all living things on Earth, either as a joke or by mistake."

"But in the end it's just nonsense from the Necronomicon."

William Dale shook his head slightly.

He believes that it was a morbid imagination of ancient tropical radiation animals that gave rise to these mythical creatures.

In fact, no such creature exists at all.

At this time.

New telegram messages arrived quickly.

“A vast field of research will be opened up!”

"These creatures were buried here around the Late Cretaceous or Early Eocene period!"

"Their bodies were covered in stalagmites, but thankfully they were incredibly tough and unharmed!"

“It’s miraculously preserved!”

[After hearing this news, the other companions also seemed extremely excited]

[The telegraph machine hums, and telegrams continue to arrive.]

[The telegraph operator instantly translated the key points]

[As soon as Lake's telegram is finished, I will compile it into a complete telegram based on the key points I wrote down and report it immediately.]

【Everyone realized the epoch-making historical significance of this discovery.】

【only】

[I was so immersed in joy at that time that I never imagined]

The distance between the ancient nightmare legend and reality is only a telegram away.

Poor Professor Lake never expected this.

[These strangely shaped creatures...are not fossils at all]

[But it is the living——Ancient]

These words...made many viewers perk up.

The race mentioned earlier is finally about to unveil its mystery!

Chapter 119: The Battle with the Cthulhu Families! The Origin of the Ancients! (First major chapter, please subscribe!)

[At this time, everyone was extremely excited]

My only hope is to get to Lake's camp as soon as possible.

So when he sent a telegram saying that he couldn't send the plane back because of the sudden strong wind,

I feel very lost.

【But after an hour and a half, my mood changed from disappointment to excitement】

[Because Lake sent back a new message]

"The sample has been successfully transferred to the camp!"

"These samples were incredibly heavy, and it took a while to get them to the surface; but with nine people working together, we managed it!"

"Right now, a wall made of snow blocks is being built at a safe distance from the camp."

"Pull the sled dogs in to make feeding easier."

William Dale breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news.

He stared at the message and continued to witness the following content.

The young man next to him is Danforth.

They also came forward to look at the paper curiously. The audiences from endless dimensions and countless worlds in the live broadcast room also saw the lines of text appearing.

[The autopsy was much more difficult than expected]

[After the gasoline stove was lit, the room temperature rose, and the sample selected became soft and elastic.]

[A robust and intact specimen, still as tough as leather]

[This makes Lake very embarrassed]

[It would take considerable force to create a large enough cut in this specimen.]

[But it can also easily destroy the delicate internal structure]

[then]

[Another badly damaged specimen is dragged in]

[This specimen still has the starfish-like structures at either end of its main torso, but one ridge is missing.]

The results of the experiment are recorded below the message.

After seeing those messages, Danforth couldn't help but show surprise on his face.

"Wow! Current biology might need to be revised!"

"If what's written above is true, current scientific theories can't explain it at all!"

"After 40 million years, its internal structure remains intact... How did it do that?"

The young man couldn't help but feel extremely surprised.

Even with his knowledge, he was completely unable to understand what was happening.

This biological tissue is naturally as tough, corrosion-resistant and difficult to damage as leather. It must have evolved from some invertebrate that humans cannot imagine.

William Dale added beside him.

"I don't know."

"But at first the surface of the sample was dry, and as the room temperature rose."

"The uninjured side of the specimen began to slowly become moist, and a pungent odor began to emanate. It wasn't blood, but a dark green mucus, but it clearly had the same effect as blood."

According to the content revealed above the message.

William Dale felt a little uneasy.

This creature has a digestive and circulatory system, respiratory organs that inhale oxygen rather than carbon dioxide, and multiple air storage chambers.

This creature also has amphibian characteristics.

It can hibernate for a long time in an airless environment. Its vocal organs seem to be somehow connected to the main respiratory system, and it should be able to produce a flute sound with a wide range of tones.

The thought of the flute.

William Dell couldn't help but think of the hurricanes roaring among the mountains.

This made him feel a little uneasy. He lightly grasped the paper with his fingers, applying a little force with his fingertips.

Danfoss obviously doesn't have this worry.

His curious gaze was filled with the excitement of youth.

"Well, these creatures have highly developed muscular systems and highly evolved nervous systems."

"The five-lobed brain is also surprisingly developed."

"Strange... Why would such a species appear on such a distant Earth?"

"Professor Dale, what do you think?"

Danforth had a puzzled look on his face.

He tried to find some clues to the explanation in the book he brought with him.

It's a pity that there was no connection at all, and William Dell shook his head.

"It will become clear only when we see the entity."

These creatures look like irradiated animals.

But it also has plant characteristics, and three-quarters of it is animal structure.

The existence of membrane wings indicates that they may have always had the ability to fly, but how did they achieve such highly complex evolution on a newborn Earth?

How could they leave their footprints on the ancient Archean rocks?

These anomalies are so confusing that it is hard to understand.

It also reminded William Dell of some strange legends.

"A colleague who studies folklore at Miskatonic University once mentioned it."

"Those creatures from outer space."

"Maybe it's hidden in some remote and desolate mountains."

He thought of those words, and the uneasiness in his heart grew.

Until everything that happened later...confirmed the source of his uneasiness!

【After 4 o'clock】

[Lake finally finished his work and suggested that we take a break as well]

I also warmly congratulated Lake and frankly admitted that he was right to insist on his plan of westward exploration.

[And decided to contact again by radio at 10 o'clock the next morning]

Before ending contact

I sent my last message to the Arkham.

[Tell them not to release the contents of today's telegram to the outside world for now, as all the information seems too unconventional. It is best not to arouse public suspicion before further confirmation.]

No one could sleep peacefully that night.

Because the wind was so strong and violent, it made people worried.
