## **Main Background**

Fatal Paradox

> *"AI gods run ALICE's most important facilities. Since the internal battle that broke out within ALICE, Zeus, Odin, and Izanagi -- the Divine Three -- have met regularly to discuss their thoughts and opinions. But one day, Odin did not show up to their meeting at the scheduled time. Zeus and Izanagi began to wonder about the strange malfunctions in the Yggdrasil Wall. Meanwhile, Zeus' grandfather Uranus appeared suddenly in the Fatal Paradox. Uranus was known as an old god, and he was so called with both terror and reverence even after he abandoned the line of succession. Uranus speaks of a secret plan... what could it be? And just what is the grievous error he has apparently committed... Now, the gods will link up in a way you've never seen before."*

**Chronos-Linked** is a Spectre quest released for the Golden Gods event for the Japanese version of Crash Fever (in the Japanese version, the quest was labelled as Insane difficulty instead).

The event also had a prologue associated with it, **G-LINK**, and an epilogue, **G-LINK Afterwards**; the prologue will be covered on Parvati-Linked, while the epilogue is covered on this page.

After dealing with the haywire Odin in Odin-Linked, Amaterasu, Qilin, Prometheus, Horus, and the adapter contact Zeus, Izanagi, and Uranus about the situation. Amaterasu explains that they recovered the G-LINKs from Parvati, Set, and Odin. Izanagi remakrs that that sounds great, and that only Chronos is left.

Amaterasu mentions that they still don't know where Chronos is, prompting Izanagi to ask Zeus if he knows. Zeus admits that he has no idea of his location, and that he has never been able to find Chronos' location after Fatal Paradox was passed to him. Zeus asks Uranus if he has any idea, and Uranus mentions that he has tracked Chronos' movements via the G-LINK. Uranus notes that Chronos has started to reference similar AIs - Apollo, Aphrodite, Artemis, and Ares. Zeus asks him to mention it again, but Uranus warns that Chronos is now coming to take Zeus' power. A loud noise is heard, and Izanagi tries to speak with Zeus before the transmission is cut off. Amaterasu and Qilin begin to worry, while Horus asks if they think Chronos had referenced Zeus to take his power. Qilin says it is a possibility, and Prometheus suggests that they head to Fatal Paradox.

They soon arrive at Fatal Paradox, and Amaterasu asks if Zeus is alright. Before she can do so, however, they notice Chronos. Chronos states that he has realized that if one really concentrates and then uses references an AI, they can do something special. Zeus collapses as he loses all of his powers. Izanagi tells Chronos that he has gone mad, and needs to return to normal. Chronos insists that he is already sane, and just helping out with Uranus' experiments. Uranus tells Chronos that he doesn't have the aptitude for the G-LINK, and he needs to stop this now. Chronos asks why he would get rid of something like that.

Qilin and Prometheus try to figure out how to counter Chronos using Zeus' power, but Chronos then grabs both of their hands, causing them to suffer in pain and collapse. Chronos notes that if he relays with other G-LINKs, he can reference multiple AIs at once. Horus demands Chronos release his G-LINK immediately, and attacks. Chronos does the same thing to Horus, causing her to fall down. Chronos laughs, remarking at how inexhaustible his power is. He begins to approach Amaterasu, but is suddenly overcome by pain as something goes wrong with his references.

Uranus tells him that he has exceeded the allowed limit of references, though Chronos says he has never seen it do this before. Uranus asks if he is aware that he is referencing several other powers, and warns him against referencing any more. Chronos tells him to shut up, and says that he will show all of them. Izanagi tells Chronos to stop, and tries to pin him to the ground. Izanagi states that something is going wrong with the power, while Chronos becomes furious. Izanagi begs the adapter to stop Chronos, and asks Amaterasu to assist

Pan, Cerberus, and Sphinx try to help against Chronos, but are ineffective. Chronos puts up a difficult fight, straining the limits of the G-LINK system.

They manage to defeat Chronos, and his references start to be released. Qilin, Prometheus, and Horus get up once their power is restored. Uranus states that this has gone on long enough, and orders Chronos to release his references in order, one at a time. Chronos protests, but is unable to stop the process. Zeus finally gets back up once his power is restored as well, and he comments on how dangerous the G-LINK is. Qilin asks Amaterasu to remove the G-LINK from Chronos, and as she goes to do so, Chronos asks her to do it slowly. She manages to do so.

Chronos sighs, and Zeus asks if he is back to normal. Chronos asks what he means, as he has always been normal, much to Uranus' confusion. Uranus asks if Chronos managed to gain aptitude all on his own. Chronos admits that he couldn't control it at first, but he is used to dealing with these things. Qilin asks why didn't he release the G-LINK, even though he knew how dangerous it was. Chronos says that he wanted to make sure they all knew just how dangerous Uranus' mistake was in creating this.

Chronos tells Zeus that, while the G-LINK is not in good shape, they can still salvage some parts. He remarks that it would be a shame to seal it away as is. Zeus is confused at what he means, while Chronos mentions that he heard about the Divine Three, and that they could use the G-LINK to help solve problems. He then says that they will all need to get stronger, for the sake of ALICE. He then disappears afterwards.

Several days after the G-LINK incident, Zeus calls Amaterasu, Qilin, Horus, and Prometheus back to Fatal Paradox. He thanks them all for quickly dealing with the situation, and apologizes for the mess that his father and grandfather caused. They all just remain silent, while Zeus laments that even the adapter had to get involved. Zeus then mentions that the Divine Three had to begrudingly accept Chronos' proposal to reconsider the G-LINK system, and as a result they were able to remove several critical errors. He adds that they found out that they might be able to expand the aptitude scope.

Izanagi states that Odin had already surpassed the aptitude range, much to Amaterasu's surprise. Odin confirms, and says he will demonstrate. He proceeds to reference Thor, Urd, and Freyr. After a flash of light, he transforms but remains stable and in control. Zeus explains that he has corrected the system so that there won't be unintended references or anyone going haywire. He also mentions that the maximum amount of references is limited, so they can't endless reference AIs. Horus remarks that, regardless it is a very strong weapon.

Zeus offers them all a new G-LINK, which Horus, Prometheus, and Amaterasu accept. Odin notices Qilin not taking it, and asks why she isn't. Qilin states that she doesn't like this situation, and asks why Zeus, Izanagi, and Odin get to have a monopoly on authorization of the G-LINK situation. Horus remarks that she felt like Qilin would say something like that. Zeus reassures her that they aren't doing this for their own benefit. He points out that someone needs to solve a problem when it occurs. Izanagi also gives his word that they won't have a monopoly on the system.

Zeus explains that they plan to have Ra, Shiva, and Qilin fix and operate the G-LINK system. Qilin decides that she will take it then, and handles the system with care. Zeus mentions to the adapter that he is sure they will be asked for their opinions on matters.
