Counter Force

The Counter Force (抑止力, Yokushi-ryoku^?, alternatively "Deterrent Force") is a safety mechanism formed by the collective unconsciousness of humanity (Alaya) and the planet Earth itself (Gaia).^[1]

Characteristics

The concept of Counter Force is central to the planet, and there are two types: Gaia and Alaya. Gaia is the will of the Earth, the planet's intrinsic wish to survive and prosper. Alaya, on the other hand, is the collective unconscious will of mankind to avoid extinction.^[1] As humans are creatures of Earth, Alaya was a component of Gaia. However, as mankind began to develop independent from nature, it became independent. With this divergence, Alaya is no longer aligned with Gaia and potential conflict can result.

Despite being called the "will of the planet" and the "will of the mankind", the Counter Forces bear no emotions.^[2] The Counter Forces are described as passive spirals of energy that respond to threats of planet destruction or threats of human extinction. They are always active, constantly steering mankind and the planet away from potential danger. Usually, the Counter Forces act indirectly.^[1]^[3] For instance, Shiki Ryougi was driven by the Counter Force to eliminate the threat that is Souren Araya, while Jeanne d'Arc is believed by Mikiya Kokutou to have possibly been empowered by the Counter Force.^[3] One exception to this is Enkidu, who is able to access the Counter Force directly through their Noble Phantasm, Enuma Elish.^[4]

Although Gaia and Alaya are intangible forces of will, each does enlist physical agents to deal with events too threatening to address with indirect intervention. The agents of Gaia consist of the Elementals such as: Lugh Beowulf, Fairies, True Ancestors, some Phantasmal Species, and some Divine Spirits. The agents of Alaya are Heroic Spirits^[5] and the Counter Guardians, human Spirits who pledge their eternal service to Alaya in return for power during their lifetime.

The Counter Forces have immense power at their disposal. However, only the appropriate amount is unleashed to address a particular event. If the threat possesses an amount of power equal to X, then the Counter Force will deploy an amount of power just enough to snuff out X and eliminate the threat.^[1]^[3] The amount of power can be as small as nudging individuals into place through "coincidences", but it can also be as great as sinking an entire continent.^[3]

Beast-class Servants are called the Monster of the Counter Force (抑止の獣, Yokushi no Kemono^?, localized as "Beast of the Counter Force").^[6]

English Japanese Counter Force [Others] The Counter Force here is the safety device formed by the collective unconsciousness. The prayer to avert the demise of mankind, Alaya. And the prayer to extend the life of the planet, Gaia. These are the two aspect of the Counter Force. Both aspects have the goal of extending the existence of the current World. They will eradicate the factors that threaten to destroy the World at the moment of their occurance. Since the Counter Force is the unconscious, its appearance draws no attention, and no one will recognize it. The Counter Force is a formless spiral of power. It adjusts its scale based on the target that needs to be obliterated. The Counter Force will always appear with a status above the target, enough to absolutely secure a victory. Normally, the Counter Force empowers "a normal person" to remove the factor that can trigger destruction. As a result, these individuals are worshiped as "Heroes". Individuals who became Heroes through the aspect of Alaya are said to be integrated into Alaya after death. However, the accuracy of this statement is uncertain. These individuals are also called Counter Guardians. The emphasis here is "Counter", because they have no autonomy and will only activate in response to an event. 抑止力【よくしりょく】【その他】ここで挙げているのは、集合無意識によって作られた安全装置の事。人が願う破滅回避の祈りであるアラヤ、星が思う生命延長の祈りであるガイア、の二つに分けられる。どちらも現在の世界の延長を目的とし、世界を滅ぼす要因が発生した瞬間に出現、この要因を抹消する。無意識である為、発生しても誰の目にもとまらず、誰にも意識される事はない。抑止力はカタチのない力の渦で、抹消すべき対象に合わせて規模を変えて出現する。絶対に勝利できるよう、対象を上回る数値で現れるのだ。たいていは抑止力によって後押しされた『一般人』が滅びの要因を排除し、結果として『英雄』として扱われる。アラヤ側の抑止力によって英雄になった人間は、その死後はアラヤに組み込まれるというが、その真偽は定かではない。カウンターガーディアンとも呼ばれる。カウンターであるところがミソ。決して自分からは行動できず、起きた現象に対してのみ発動する。［＃改ページ］
