The 6th Beast: Timere

背景

十七兽 (十七種の獣, Jyuunana shu no Kemono）的名称是指占据在地表上的十七种兽。

起源

十七兽本身是和平的原生种族，是生活在沙漠世界的这个星球的远古居民。直到某天被成为‘星神’的种族来到这个星球并开始改造这个星球，只是为了重塑他们的家园。十七兽们钟爱的家园被星神夺走了，愤怒的十七兽攻击了星神并试图消灭他们。但他们的攻击失败了，星神将他们变成了‘人类’，并创造了其他物种。

尽管变成了人类身体，十七兽还是迅速适应了作为人类的意识，并变成了人类潜意识、本性的一部分，并在数百年内与他们的人类形态斗争。直到人类的数量越来越多以致星神的能力无法维持人类的形态。但是，有些人类拒绝接受变成兽的命运，他们竭力寻找能维持人类形态的手段。在尼尔斯的领导下，他们成立了‘真界再想圣歌队’组织，致力于寻找拯救人类的手段。

与地神之战

一个世纪后，真界再想圣歌队得出了结论，他们需要杀死一名星神加固诅咒才能维持人类形态。因此，他们决定杀死“最后一名”活着的星神艾陆可。艾陆可的守护者们意识到了他们主人的危险，翠钉侯攻击了人类并展开了一场战争。在这场血腥残酷的战争结束时，许多人丧生，地神们被击败，他们的主人艾陆可被勇者‘莉莉娅·阿斯普雷伊’用圣剑‘瑟尼欧里斯’诅咒成死亡状态。艾陆可的遗体被用来将她的灵魂粉碎成小块试图加固诅咒。

Destruction of The Surface

Despite the Emnetwihts' best attempts, they were unable to recreate the curse. As Elq the only who could maintain the curse was killed, the Emnetwihts could only wait for the curse to break. One year later, the curse fully broke and all of the Emnetwihts started turning back into Beasts. Angry by their imprisonment, they naturally sought to cleanse their world of all foreign and alien presences and destroyed everything, turning the planet back to what it was originally.

However, the remaining species of Beastmen banded together and under the guidance of 黑烛公 and Souwong Kandel moved the remaining pieces of fertile land into the sky, creating the Sky Island Archipelago 'Règles Aile' using a mix of Visitor technology and a combination of Souwong's and 黑烛公's powers. Upset that their land was tainted by this, the Beasts sought to destroy to the new island chain, however, they were unable to fly and could only rely on the 6th Beast, the 'Timere' to send it spores out to the sky in order to take down the Sky Islands and so their frustration grew. This form of siege battle continued on for over the next 500 years.

500 Years Later

500 years later, the Beasts were tired of the continued battles and sought to put an end to them. While some them were contempt to stay and live peacefully on the surface, the others were not and strove to create new tactics to take down the Sky Island Archipelago. One Beast then got the idea to hide a beast inside one of the Timere and send it up to the sky. While this tactic was successful in theory, the attack was stopped by Fairy Soldier, Chtholly Nota Seniorious who had inherited Lillia Asplay's sword, 'Seniorious' and so they sought different means of reaching the others.

After some time, Beastmen from the Elpis Mercantile Federation arrived and started capturing Beasts to take back to the Sky Islands. They captured 'Materno: The 5th Beast' and 'Croyance: The 11th Beast and 'Aurora: The Second Beast.' However, another one that they unknowingly captured was an amnesiac 'Willem Kmetsch,' the last surviving Emnetwiht who was turned into a half-beast by Chanteur: The First Beast, just as it was dying. All of these Beasts were then taken to individual Sky Islands which were Islands 11, 13 and 39, while Willem was allowed to be let go on Sky Island 11.

Attack On Corna di Luce

The Second Beast 'Aurora' was taken to the City of Corna di Luce on Sky Island 11, as a part of political plot by Elpis Mercantile Federation to usurp and claim the power of the Leprechauns for their own and to show off their new weapon. However, the Elpis Mercantile Federation lost control of the Aurora and it wound up attacking the city. The Second Beasts were then engaged by Fairy Soldiers Ithea Myse Valgulious and Rhantolk Ytri Historia and Tiat Siba Ignareo who managed to destroy them.

Meanwhile, Willem Kmetsch who had recovered his memories became aware of the plot against the Leprechauns. Knowing that Ithea's and Rhantolk's display against the Aurora wouldn't be enough to convince the top brass of the 护翼军 to let the Fairy Warehouse go on as it is in order to keep the Leprechauns safe from those who wanted to abuse them and their power, Willem decided to fight by unleashing Chanteur's powers to take down the Aurora and the Elpis Mercantile Federation's new weapon.

Knowing that his mind would only last for 5 mins in his beast state, Willem then engaged in battle against Ithea, Rhantolk and Tiat. After a couple of minutes, Ithea realized that Chanteur was Willem and figured out what he was planning. She then instructed the other girls to fight with everything they've got because Willem was sacrificing himself to save the Fairy Warehouse, however despite their best efforts, Ithea had her spine broken during the battle and Rhantolk was badly injured as well. Tiat then fought to her best effort, but not even she could defeat Willem. Just as things were being to look bad, suddenly, Willem was stabbed through the chest by Seniorious who was being wielded by Lakhesh Nyx Seniorious, the newest Fairy Soldier. Aware that Lakhesh didn't know how activate Seniorious' curse, Willem activated it by himself and put himself into a death like sleep.

In his death state, Willem was visited by Nils who revealed himself as a alien from a different world than the 星神. After explaining his background, Nils offers to use his powers one more to make Willem an ascended being like himself and go traveling through the universe with him. Willem though refused saying that he wanted to talk with the Beast inside him and come to an understanding with their race, so that coexistence with the other races will be possible someday in this world with no redeeming qualities. Accepting his decision, Nils lets Willem go back to sleep and leaves the planet.

Attacks on Sky Islands 13 and 39

Willem's decision and sacrifice ended up stopping the attack on Sky Island 11 and saving the Fairy Warehouse. However, the attacks didn't stop from there. Two days later, Materno and Croyance broke free and began destroying everything on Sky Islands 13 and 39. On Sky Island 39, the Eleventh Beast: Croyance immediately started assimilating everything in sight and slowly turned the island into a mass of black crystal. Meanwhile, on Sky Island 13, Materno broke free and melted everything including the people into a blue clear liquid.

All forms of retaliation against these two beasts failed as the military was helpless against them and the fairies with the 遗迹兵器 were too injured to help out. The Elpis Mercantile Federation were also wiped out by these attacks and their organization crumbled. The only redeeming aspect of this debacle was that neither Materno nor Croyance could fly and were forced to slowly float adrift to an island, if they wanted to attack it. This wouldn't happen for 5 years though when Croyance would start drawing nearer to Sky Island 39.

生物学特征

Each of the seventeen species of beasts has their own unique physiological compositions and features that are unique to their own species. Their forms can be plant-like or beast-like, however, all of them do share some common features:

• Sturdy Bodies - All of the Seventeen Beasts have incredibly sturdy bodies. Most of them do have armour shells or incredibly thick skins which allows them to easily brush off gunfire and missiles. While they can be hurt by weapons like Flamethrowers and do have their certain weak points on their bodies, the only thing that can really kill are 魔力infused 圣剑 / 遗迹兵器, though it does take over hundreds of strikes before they do die.
• Regeneration - All of the Seventeen Beasts have the ability to regenerate, though some species have slower regeneration rates.Their regeneration can be halted by weapons like Flamethrowers.
• Body Transformation - Most of the Seventeen Beasts do have the ability to manipulate their bodies to form fists or heads or even weapons to smite their enemies with,

简介

兽的种类有十七种（在大贤者的预测之中），实际上如今出现过的只有一、二、四、五、六、十一、十四，以及具体情况暂不明确的最终之兽。

有关最终之兽众说纷纭，大部分看法目前倾向于认为它属于十七兽之一，在小说第二部第八卷第一章第二部分曾有提及大贤者对最终之兽的性质做出过预言，其应该仍在十七兽范畴以内。

人类原为原始兽群在星神的灵魂碎片之下所创造，最终因为灵魂碎片稀薄而诞生了不属于两者的十七兽（在某种歌声催化之下，小说第一部第四卷第三章第四部分提及），十七兽是不属于人类和原始兽群的新物种。

分类

望月悲叹的最初之兽：

在艾尔梅莉亚体内诞生，其存在具有唯一性，能力被描述为以回忆塑造虚假世界，以及将所有物质沙化（回归原本世界），暂不知魔力是否有抵御作用，与终将到访的最后之兽成相反性质。威廉和奈芙莲曾进入过其构造的幻境，见证了人类变成兽的前夕的历史。其外形表现为水晶柱（第一部第四卷第三章第六部分）或一小块水晶（威廉“死亡”后的意识所见），在被威廉用剑贯入后崩解但并未杀死，离开了原宿主艾尔梅莉亚进入威廉体内，和奈芙莲一同半兽化，表现为其中一只眼睛为金色。在威廉被尼尔斯使用权能封印一部分记忆以后长时间沉寂，随威廉一起被瑟尼欧里斯“杀死”，在第八卷中与最终兽的战斗中逐渐复苏。

突凿穿刺的第二兽：

模样被描述为绳索状，无头无尾，身上长有可以任意伸缩的粘滑针状物，用于移动和捕获猎物。遭遇频率最高，一次只能够杀死一人，在兽之中被认为是危险度最低（第一部第四卷第三章第五部分）。曾被带上过浮岛，但很快被艾尔毕斯研制的武器（以黄金妖精为燃料）消灭，普遍威胁程度较低。

弑破抹净的第四兽：

在葛力克的话中提到过，信息暂时不明。已知不会与其他的兽待在一起。

广袤包围的第五兽：

在葛力克的话中提到过，信息暂时不明。

深遁潜藏的第六兽：

对浮岛造成威胁的主要力量，能通过分裂的小颗粒随风侵入浮岛（可预测），体型不一，生命力顽强，危险程度估计与体型大小成正比。小型的在一定数量范围内无需开门即可消灭（由接受威廉训练前的珂朵莉和艾瑟雅生还推测），大型危险程度高（类似十五号浮岛登陆的那只），极难杀死，但是因为不具备灵智能造成的破坏在可控范围内。最终长期干扰浮岛的第六兽生态族群被红发珂重创，处于恢复元气中。

沉滞留驻的第十一兽：

外形表现为黑色水晶，可以同化沙子(玻璃）以外的所有物质（只能同化固体），在第二部多处都有提及。十一兽存在核心，可以吸收普通的打击来加速同化，想要消灭只能趁其规模尚未扩大或者击碎其核心，已知魔力可以抵御十一兽。第一次出现时被费奥多尔及时发现并切割了被侵蚀的岛，第二次在规模尚未扩大时被苹果开门消灭，第三次同化了潘丽宝的一条手臂被赶来的缇亚忒消灭。艾尔毕斯一共制作了九组封存十一兽的小瓶。

点缀光辉的第十四兽：

曾附身于摩尔宁内，使其能力变为支配所有知道这个能力的人，被支配者会变为怪物（预测），最初为人类准勇者哈尔瓦‧T‧荣提斯所化，能力被描述为可寄生在人族以外的种族身上。最后被费奥多尔从菈琪旭身上抢夺，一同被“杀死”（没有继续转移，原因不明）。

终将到访的最后之兽：

在大贤者的预测中存在两种可能，第一次出生在15号浮岛被珂朵莉击沉，性质与最初兽相反，通过想象未来而创造世界，在第二部第八卷第一章第五部分有提及。具体信息暂时无法确定。
