"Why is the Warp Storm a god?

"To understand this, we first need to review the other calamities.

"Let me share my observations:

"First, the Bloodborne Plague.

"This is a form of rule contamination. It doesn't spread through air, blood, bacteria, or viruses but it's a memetic transmission.

"Simply hearing about its concept or seeking further knowledge about its mysticism can attract one into a disordered hunting dream, while their physical body in reality transforms into a grotesque monster.

"Doesn't this resemble some forbidden magical rituals, Professor?

"For instance, the research of Norikata Emiya on Vampires, Dead Apostles, and True Ancestors...

"Magecraft is the power condensed from human thoughts. Thus, I suspect that the Bloodborne Plague might already be spreading secretly somewhere, and we just haven't realized it yet... by the time we do, its scale might be quite problematic to handle.

"As for the state of Gaia and Alaya, the Counter Forces, I'll reserve my opinions for now...

"Next is the Hell Rift.

"This is a passageway to an alternate dimension known as Hell. From my experience as Kratos, it once tore open when the Celestial Sphere Type Space-Time Fortress Chaos descended and ripped open Greek's inner sea of the planet.

"From it, otherworldly rules and various grotesque devils will spread.

"Though I shattered the void rift, I'm unsure of Chaos's current state as I was sucked into its rift.

"One 'me' seems to have ventured to another dimension, seeking Dante and Vergil.

"Fortunately, among the calamities, the Hell Rift is relatively mild... at least devils are within the scope of what Earth can currently manage.

"However, the following calamities, if they were to occur now, would crush Earth instantly.

"For instance, the Fallen Empire.

"You can simply understand it as a highly advanced alien civilization.

"In this world, there are already many traces of alien civilizations descending... such as the mysterious Moon Cell on the moon, Velber... the Wandering Star of Predation associated with Aatrox, and the Machine God civilization of the Greek, all can be classified under this category.

"To the current human civilization, the technology level of the Fallen Empire is akin to gods. Their normal activities are stagnant, in a state of dormancy and low operation, but once awakened, they might bring apocalyptic invasions.

"I emphasize the interstellar fleet for this reason... if their hostility ignites, building a fleet gives humanity a slim hope to flee and preserve some seeds.

"And then there's... the Contingency.

"This is an artificial intelligence roaming the universe. If it detects a galaxy with a high proportion of mechanical civilization or syntenic beings, it triggers a risk.

"It will spread ghost signals across the cosmos, summoning all intelligent machines and cybernetic servants to rebel, annihilating all organic life within its perception...

"Some mechanical beings might escape the influence of the Contingency, but the Contingency itself is unwavering in its purpose... thus, I hold a notably pessimistic outlook towards Machine Gods and Wandering Star displaying friendliness towards Earth.

"The mysterious Atlas Institute, a significant research focus there is enhancing human modification rates and producing artificial humans? I've always wanted to contact them, but unfortunately, haven't found a way... After all, my time at the Clock Tower has been too short.
