The Epic of Zektbach

I think I agree with it being a project from our world, but I don't know if it's headed by Joah, although...

In The Turii video at about 1:00 there is an ouroborous with two people in it which may Joah and L'erisia, then at 1:10 there are two people falling from the sky. But then D.J.JSRF said earlier that Joah means 'brother of god,' and he and L'erisia are depicted with 6 wings just like seraphs who are the head angels, so I'm really confused about whether it's an advanced simulation...

edit: In maya takamura's artbook, l'erisia and Joah look like a couple, so dunno if it's headed by Joah...

I also think I know what special chapters you are talking about D.J.JSRF. A few pages back you gave the link to website that has copied everything out of the book onto itself. The chapters are weird after I've put them into Google translate (even funnier than normal). But from what I can gather, they are about evolution of mankind. There are also dates at the bottom of each chapter and names that I've googled; I think they're fictional. But one surname that cropped up again and again was Byogtt (it's written in katakana so I dunno). The dates are A.D.XXXX so it's our world centuries into the future.

From these special chapter headings, the chronology I think is:

Boltzmann kills himself in Duino in 1906

Someone tries to analyze Boltzmann's DNA in 2042

Evolutionary Logician Augustine Bygott does something in 2355

Something happens to Augustine Bygott 19 years later in 2374

Timothy Byogtt (Augustine's son?) is possibly continuing the work of his father 50 years later in 2424

ok, now here's the kicker:

Laurence Auenmüller (in katakana again so that might not be his name) invents something in the OUROBOROS PLANNING YEAR 2572!

What are these people trying to do?

[D.J.JSRF]

Oh yeah.

I was confused by those things for a long time.

Actually those are some kind of "comments" made by some fictional scientists.They will make sense when you read them after reading the associated story and the special chapters.

So,later.

[Alpha Type 11]

Is there anything in the booklet about Ido, the magician who sacrificed himself to seal the devil's lair; do we know why and what was in the lair that had to be contained?

[D.J.JSRF]

Oh,no.We just don't know anything about that story.

Let me tell you some other stories instead.

----------

Chapter 4-1-4

<The Apocalypse>


A large flaming meteor falling to the ground.

Crowded giant creatures.

Land being submerged by the great flood.

A man grasping a chain.

A nude girl eating a fruit.

Metallic birds flying in the red sky.

Someone gazing into a strange little box.

Swans singing their dying words on the desolated land.

Scenes spinning in Hannes' head with extremely high speed.She crouched down,covering her head with hands.


"The one born from the spring of God,now listen to me."

A mysterious voice began to speak to her mind.

"The world is full of sin."

"The law of equivalent exchange should always be strictly obeyed.But arrogant Huminas always believed that they deserve such fortunes."

"The villagers had been enjoying the miracles for a long time.They took everything for granted.They never want to pay for it."

"They thought what they believed is the truth,but just the opposite.They broke the harmony of the natural environment and distorted the truth."

"Being served without paying,that is called 'Pride'.A deadly sin."

"Enjoying the miracles without awareness,that is called 'Sloth'.Another deadly sin."

"Now it's time for them to pay for all these."

"You are the chosen one.You should protect the causality and the regularity of this world.Wipe out the sinners and let the fake truth perish.That is your holy duty."


Now,at the bottom of the spring,something awakened in Hannes.

Without a word,she tooked the huge sword and began climbing the spiral stairs.

"They have to pay for the miracles...with their lives.That is to protect the causality and the regularity of this world."

"I am the chosen one.I am obliged to hunt down the sinners who broke the law of nature.That is the will of God.That is why I was born."


Seeing Hannes getting out of the well,all the villagers knelt down before her and prayed.

"Saintess Hannes,please...You are the miracle child of the holy spring...Please do something with your power of salvation!We really can't afford to lose the spring water!"

Hannes hesitated.The reminiscence of her everyday life with villagers is still alive.

It was the villagers who brought her up,gave her happiness and respected her as a saintess.She could not easily forget all these things.

"What should I do?"

Tears fell down her face.

"I received a lot of happiness from them.But I have to put an end to their happiness."

"Oh,God...Perhaps the villagers didn't know anything about the law of nature.That is a deadly sin.But they just want to lead a happy life.It that really a unforgivable sin?"

"Is it all right to wipe out them all?"

With tears in her eyes,she looked up to the sky and prayed for forgiveness.


"They are distorting the truth.The law of causality will collapse due to the distortion of truths.That will cause the destruction of this world."

"All will return to nothing.All things will lose the meaning of existence.It's much more horrible than death,don't you think so?"

"It's honorable for everyone to return to the nature."

"You are the chosen one,don't forget it.It's your holy duty to protect the law of nature.Now,raise your sword."


Hearing the Apocalypse,her body began to shake violently.Suddenly,her eyes turned crimson.

Then,she raised that huge sword up.The sword began to glow with flame.


Fallarien turned into a raging inferno.

This is serious, so Hannes is the Angel Of Death. It's funny because I thought that what Hannes is doing was L'erisia's job. My theories on L'erisia have now just completely gone out of the window. This just gets more confusing and mysterious...

Guess this explained everything in the Apocalypse video.

I'm making a guess that after the story is completed TOMOSUKE will re-release the album with new updates (just like dj TAKA's Milestone re-edition). Hey, it might include collaborations or remixes. Don't take this statement seriously because this is all just in my head .

Oh my Holy God! Thank you, D.J.JSRF. God will bless you Now, I understand why Hannes is like that in Apocalypse video. I've watched the Sirius - Raison D'etre Zektbach just now. Well, I always thought that, Zektbach's Raison D'etre is the... 'final' video, eh?

[D.J.JSRF]

Thanks for your words.I really should have done it before.

I have little time these days to work on this,but I will try my best.

I love Raison D'être.Yeah.

[Alpha Type 11]

So, why did Ristaccia wait so long before possessing Hannes? Why not just let the zombies kill each other? Also, any chapters in the Hannes story left?

[D.J.JSRF]

I think you should ask Zektbach.

No new chapters for Hannes yet.

Let's do something for Chapter 3.

[Alpha Type 11]

ok, so what's left for chapter 3?

[Coolcameracat]

Hey guys. I've been lurking, just joined.

And thanks so much D.J.JSRF for translating everything, it was soooo helpful the couple of months I've been into this story. XD

And the new song and video, amazing. Everything by Zektbach still doesn't cease to amaze me.

I love all the new theories as well, though I can't say I agree with the Hannes= L'erisia incarnate. She seems more connected to Malchut than L'erisia, in both the video and the character reference sheet.

And at 1:26 in that video, it seems L'erisia is overpowered or something. Could that be her being usurped by Gijiri, caused by the imbalance now that Malchut grew sorrow in the scene just beforehand? Then the scene right afterward, she awakens because of Joah it seems to fend off what Malchut has brought to the world or so.
I don't know, I'm not very sure. Especially with that whole timeline mishap you spoke of earlier. Sorry if that was brought up before, I may have missed it.

And at the end, could Malchut be using the power of Ristaccia (seeing as how they showed everyone that used Ristaccia or was corrupted by it), or at least trying to, to bring back the ceremony or the people of the stars? Though L'erisia is against this... It seems at least.
I'm not very sure of this either, since nothing has been explained clearly yet, but I just wondered what could be the reason L'erisia was brought back and what Malchut is doing at the end.

[Alpha Type 11]

Do we have a language for Raison D'etre Yet? French seems a bit too on the nose, there are parts that sound french but I'm not sure...

[D.J.JSRF]

Oh.

Zektbach told us two important facts:

Gijiri is immortal

Ristaccia Ruin is supposed to be some kind of spaceship

Well,just like what we thought it should be.

[Alpha Type 11]

I really can't hack just how mysterious this is getting, what the hell is ristaccia if the ruins are a spaceship? Maybe it's like the symbiote from spiderman...
