Apocrypha

The Apocrypha, is an object that generates an infinite amount of energy and matter in the KOSMOS Universe, where KOSMOS and GALAXYFANTASY take place in. The Apocrypha powers the KOSMOS Mainframe built by the Ancients, and interacts with a lot of ether elements within the universe.

The Apocrypha bears several names depending on whom find it. It is called the Apocrypha Device by the Ancient race (due to Lady Melia being around), Magnetic Abnormal Matter by the human race in the first cycle, then Apocrypha Relic by the human race again, in the second cycle.

It is sometimes considered as God, or the Guardian of the Universe depending on theologies and beliefs.

History
It is unknown for mortals when the Apocrypha was created, but Lady Melia herself and there are certain implications that the Apocrypha may be as old as the big bang, if not older.

According to Lady Melia, an influx of matter and energy was transferred from the Upper Domain towards the Lower domain with the Apocrypha as the gateway between the two. The Lower Domain not having space and time, the influx triggered the creation and expansion of space and time, causally known as the big bang, and the creation of the universe.

The reason as to why the big bang was created was simply because the beforementioned matter and energy influx need space to exist, whilst consequentially needing time for space to span. After the big bang, the Apocrypha is adrift in the vast cosmos.

in A.T. 1999, The Ancient race finds the Apocrypha adrift in space, they retrieve it and manage to use it as an external energy source. This means that they cannot tap within the true powers of the Apocrypha, but rather only catch the seemingly infinite energy sipping through the relic. They attach it to the KOSMOS Mainframe they are building as a power source, and they also extract the Apocrypha's consciousness, which creates the entity known as Lady Melia.

Thousands of years pass and the Apocrypha remains within the Ancient Colony Ark fleet, it makes a short journey to the NANUETTA-HF planet in order to restore its former glory, then ends up on Earth.

In N.D. 28050, the Apocrypha is unearthed by humans on Earth, in Egypt. They get to name it Magnetic Abnormal Matter due to the fact that it seems to create infinite energy out of nowhere. Thanks to its unearthing and the findings of the KOSMOS Mainframe, the humans build the E.R.L. Orbital Space Station at incredible speed, and ultimately destroy Earth in a war.

Crystallinism
Crystallinism is a prevalent religion found in GALAXYFANTASY, based off the Epic of Cristalli book, which tells the stories of Lady Melia in the KOSMOS timeline. The belief generally is that the Apocrypha and Lady Melia are one and the same, a true God the former being the spirit, the latter the body.

Talismans that have Apocrypha and Lady Melia depictions are worn as a sign of strong belief and for prayers, statues can be put within a house for blessings according to the beliefs. One day, Lady Melia will come to bring salvation to mortals once again, is what the believers think.

Once Lady Melia regains a physical body in GALAXYFANTASY, she manages to blend in with mortals, which shocks and surprises many believers. She explains that they're giving her too much credit and they're putting her on a pedestal, which she isn't comfortable about. The Crystallinism believers find out that Lady Melia, has a bit of humanity within her and adds to the faith that humanity was modelled after her.

History in GALAXYFANTASY
Humans originating from Miktam-04B, endlessly search for the Apocrypha, believing what the Secret Book of Research tells about it. They end up finding it thousands of years after, using it immediately to power their ambitions.

Nobody could withstand a direct contact with the Apocrypha, as such they ended up doing exactly what the Ancients did first before using Lady Melia: only capture the energy that is leaking through the device.

The Starflight Express System notably makes use of the Apocrypha's powers in order to transport people or goods across long cosmological distances.

The malevolent usage of the Apocrypha triggers Lady Melia to take actions that leads in her consciousness and powers finding home within Seraphelle, who was bought by Wilhelm in order to make Seraphelle powerful enough to be an Apocrypha contact.

Towards the conclusion of GALAXYFANTASY, the students learn the truth about the Apocrypha, and it ends up becoming in Lady Melia's possession once more, allowing the students to use its energy may they deem it necessary, however the students refuse, which Lady Melia expects.

Lady Melia's Perspective
Lady Melia, is the Apocrypha's physical incarnation. She is also known as her consciousness. She and the Apocrypha are one and the same, which means that she has direct control of it as if it was part of her. The Ancient race's reasoning behind creating her a physical host is that, if Lady Melia has her physical body out there, nobody can hijack or divert the Apocrypha's use, as they would need Lady Melia's consent. However in KOSMOS, Lady Melia can be seen getting corrupted, which is one way to bypass her consent for use.

Lady Melia considers the Apocrypha, which is a part of herself, the same as "Eden's forbidden apple", where humans can approach and make use of it, but will ultimately put themselves toward their demise. This has been proved several times as Lady Melia has to reset humanity every once and a while after they find the Apocrypha as they destroy themselves using it.

Interestingly, the Ancient race seems to be unaffected by this predicament, as they used the Apocrypha in a meaningful way, Lady Melia explains that this race is essentially good; they did not seek its powers to rule or dominate anything, but only to create life and ensures life can be spread throughout many worlds.

She considers that humans will be good when they have no longer need for a god. Something she hopes for towards the conclusion of GALAXYFANTASY.
