Divine Filament

The , known locally to the South American Lostbelt as , is an alien species of microorganisms inhabiting Latin America. Within the South American Lostbelt, it acts as the collective will of the World.
==History==
The Divine Filament is an existence more ancient than that of the Velber 02, microscopic organisms attached to a meteor. Differing from the Velber that's an active invader of civilizations, it was an existence adrift in space.Fate/Grand Order material IV - Quetzalcoatl, p.320-331, translated by Clyton at Beast's Lair.
===Proper Human History===
The meteor containing the Divine Filament hit Earth 66 million years before modern day, enacting the fifth . It , causing the . The Information Storage Bodies proceeded to spread across the American continents to symbiotically coexist with the native species and rapidly revitalize Earth's devastated surface. The Divine Filaments empowered the jungles, animals, and eventually the burgeoning humanity, causing lifeforms it empowered to become priests, kings, and were sometimes even worshiped as the Mayan and Aztec Gods such as Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca. According to Aztec Mythology, there were plenty of times that Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca appeared not just as gods, but also as people.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Nahui Mictlan: Golden Sea of Trees Travelogue - Section 13: Xoxoauhqui, the Third Underworld Border The Divine Filaments would move from one vessel to another, so there was not only one Quetzalcoatl for example, but many people who bore that identity.Fate/Grand Order - Babylonia: Absolute Demonic Front - Chapter 11: Hello, Goddess of the Sun 
By the end of the Age of Gods, their lifespan was nearing its end and they realized they'd never return to space, so they entrusted their wish of "going back home" to humanity.
In the World of Fate/strange Fake, Yuukaku Kuruoka collected some of these microorganisms near some ruins in South America, astonished at them being so mystically compatible with humans. He was able to modify them and adapt them to his family's Magecraft, turning them into "bacteria Familiars" he would infect his daughter Tsubaki Kuruoka with to create a symbiotic relationship between them and her Magic Circuits.Fate/strange Fake Volume 6 - Interlude: "A Mercenary is a Free Man I"
===Lostbelt===
Within the South American Lostbelt, the meteor experienced a slight change in orbital trajectory that caused it to hit Earth around 300 million years before present day, nearly 250 million years earlier than in Proper Human History. The Divine Filaments bound Pangea together and kept it from drifting into the modern separate continents. Once the dinosaurs began to appear, the Divine Filaments caused their further evolution into the Deinos, and were in turn given the name "Malla". 66 million years ago, when Malla predicted the arrival of ORT due to the same change in orbital trajectory causing it to arrive earlier than it did in Proper Human History, Malla created the underground world of Mictlan to save the Deinos from ORT's impact.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Nahui Mictlan: Golden Sea of Trees Travelogue - Section 14: Metztitlán, the Doomsday Observatory
==Characteristics==
The Divine Filament is composed of , microscopic organisms that transmit information through fungi. They are able to interact with Earth's plant life, fusing with them to become a large network.Fate/Grand Order - Kukulkan Servant profile Da Vinci states calling it fungi is a misnomer, stating that they are more like a plant's roots or threads. A miniscule form of life that acts only on neural tissue. While adept at transmitting information, they are too simple to generate intelligence on their own. It's believed in the world of magecraft that they could show "the state of the universe".
The process by which they can spread to humanity is similar to that of Carriers Magi. Since they are humans inflicted with their divine blood contagion, they're able to replicate mysteries from the Age of Gods. "They" secured their living space by staying close to the organisms that would become their hosts and developing their species.
===Proper Human History===
Quetzalcoatl's Ultimo Tope Patada is described by her as recreating "the cataclysmic impact that annihilated countless lives", as she becomes an embodiment of "the comet that killed Earth". She also associates it with the power of Xibalba.Fate/Grand Order - Babylonia: Absolute Demonic Front - Section 20: Absolute Demonic Front Mesopotamia (I)
===Lostbelt===
Malla told Kukulkan that she had to kill Tezcatlipoca because the Lostbelt would perish if he was allowed to live.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Nahui Mictlan: Golden Sea of Trees Travelogue - Chapter 10: The Day of ORT Malla is also able to translate the languages of the Lostbelt and Proper Human History, so the inhabitants of the two worlds can communicate with each other.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Nahui Mictlan: Golden Sea of Trees Travelogue - Chapter 2: Golden Rainforest At night, Malla's phosphorescence creates the illusion of stars in Mictlan's underground sky.
