Chapter Ninety-Three: The Truth
The wise giant silently looked at Loki in front of him, but did not answer directly.
Loki's meaning is obvious, if Mimir replies that it is "alive", he will pinch the bird in his hand to death, and if Mimir replies that it is "dead", he will open his hand and release the bird in his hand.
And this deeper meaning is a test of Loki's fate, and he is testing how powerful fate is.
Is it true that all futures are fate, or are some futures destiny and some futures not? Is it fate, and where is the line between this and what is not......
This wise and deceitful deity is cautiously trying to spy on the limits of fate.
Mimir, on the other hand, just looked at the God-King in front of him, and then said softly.
"Loki, your actions are meaningless, fate is not something you can find out if you try and speculate, everything has been written in my parchment. ”
"However, I also answer your words according to my foresight, just like a play, the actor can only act according to the script on the stage, even if he knows the falsehood and is powerless, we are marionettes drawn by silk threads, and we are also the playthings in the hands of fate. ”
However, Loki ignored Mimir's words, just staring intently at the giant of wisdom in front of him, and then continued.
"So...... Reveal to me how fate determines the future of what I have in my hands......
"Is it life, or is it death?"
He looked at the Wisdom Giant, and pushed his hand forward again, and the erected snake pupils slowly contracted, with a touch of hideousness in them.
The gods also age, but the aging of the gods is not because of the aging of the body, but because of the aging of the mind, and when the heart is old, the gods will naturally age, but Loki ...... From beginning to end, it was the appearance of a young man.
In his body, there is always an undying passion and longing, a yearning for a free and infinitely wonderful world.
Odin may have forgotten, and so may all the gods, but he has never forgotten that what he longs for is a world that is infinitely wonderful and never boring, not a cage designed by fate called "world".
He will never be willing to be a prisoner.
And now, it was the time for him to launch his own rebellion against fate.
"Is it life, is it death?"
Neither answer is important, what matters is what happens after Mimir's answer.
And staring at Loki's burning eyes, the wisdom giant shook his head.
"It's not raw. ”
"Not raw?"
Loki looked at the giant of wisdom in front of him, and the corners of his mouth curled, and the more hideous the color became.
"But it's not death either. ”
"It's not death either?"
Loki's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he didn't understand what the wise giant meant, but the smell of danger in him became stronger and stronger.
Ignoring the God King in front of him, who was about to move and was full of violent aura, the Wisdom Giant shook his head again.
"Loki, you know very well that there is no point in your little temptation, you are pinning your hopes on the power of the runes of Rune, trying to blind my senses, make me think that there is really a young bird in your hands, and then test whether I can really know everything, but this trick has no meaning. ”
He looked up at Loki in front of him and continued.
"If I can't see the possible future of everything, then it proves that what I'm talking about is not fate, and there is a chance to be broken, but ...... Loki, even the almost omnipotent Rune Rune can't resist the power of fate, so ......"
"In your hands, there's nothing. ”
With his words, in front of him, Loki's eyes were full of complexity, and the violent aura on his body gradually dissipated, and he lowered his hand, replaced by a silent god king.
In front of Mimir, Loki lowered his head, as if he was told by the wise giant, and reluctantly chose to surrender in the face of fate, while Mimir only sighed.
And that's when ......
"Hehe......"
Loki lowered his head, first covering his forehead with his left hand, and then suddenly burst into laughter, his chuckle was full of joy and relief, and the laughter grew louder and louder.
"Ho-ho-ho-ho...... Hahahahaha!!!!"
The laughter gradually climbed, and then finally Loki raised his head with a smile, and his body even trembled wildly with it, and at the end of the laugh, it was replaced by an almost inhuman laugh, a sickly laughter like crying and laughing, with a deep hideousness.
And looking at Loki in front of him, Mimir suddenly felt as if something was wrong.
"Old thing, you still have some things that you don't know......"
And at this moment, Loki's hideous voice reached his ears.
Lowering his right hand, Loki's face was almost cold with a smile that was not gloomy in defeat, but filled with an air of arrogance and wantonness, and as he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and spread it out towards the old giant......
Mimir looked at the contents of Loki's palm, and an expression of surprise and disbelief gradually appeared on his face that had not changed for thousands of years.
"How could it be ......?"
The old giant, who knew everything, was almost speechless.
In the palm of Loki's hand, there was a bright red human heart beating quietly.
The bright red flesh and blood, as if it had just been detached, and even continued to beat under the support of some kind of force, without losing its vitality, as if the heart was still alive.
"Old fellow, you can see through all the futures and variables, see all the runes of runes, no spells and things can blind your eyes, all the future is open in front of you, you think you have manipulated everything between heaven and earth, hiding in the dark curtain and calmly dominating everything, however, there are still some things in this universe that you can't see. ”
At the same time, Loki's icy and hideous voice reached the ears of the old giant.
The old giant came back to his senses from that momentary stunned, and listening to Loki's words, the first thing that came to his mind was a deep desolation, he would drink a cup of wisdom spring water every day, and he had already been able to penetrate all things and knowledge, whether it was in this universe or in other universes, everything could not escape his eyes, how could there be things that he didn't even know......
Wait, is it ......
"That's right! it's the fountain of wisdom beside you!"
As if reading the old giant's thoughts, the corners of Loki's mouth curled into a hideous, crazy smile, his fingers twisting and trembling.
"Fate?Fate that cannot be changed?Ragnarok???"
"In fact, it is nothing more than a grand sacrificial ceremony, with the entire universe, countless gods and giants, all lives and souls, in this epic and tragic decisive battle, in the name of fate, to a magnificent being that you dare not even think of, let alone mention!!"
Mimir's face turned pale and he stood up, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, his old body almost fell, but he cared more about what Loki said than he almost fell.
"How do you know...... How much do you know?"
"How do I know? You only know that I have drunk the water of the Fountain of Wisdom, but you don't know that I have even gone directly to the deepest part of the Fountain of Wisdom...... I saw those eyes......"
Loki's pupils slowly dilated, and there was an inexplicable sense of horror and hideousness.
"The countless, thousands of my brothers, Odin's one-eyed phantoms!"
"Even though you can join forces with Ymir to erase all traces of the entire universe, rebury all the corpses and undead in the earth, and then turn back time together, jump back to the oldest past, and repeat the cycle again and again, this fountain of wisdom independent of time and space still records all the things that exist in the fountain of wisdom, including the one-eyed that my brother sacrificed again and again......"
"Mimir, my brother Odin drank the water of the Fountain of Wisdom, sacrificed his eyes to the Fountain of Wisdom, and gained knowledge of all destiny of the past, future, present, and you, and you, saw all possibilities, and I, Loki, saw in the deepest part of the Fountain of Wisdom forbidden knowledge which could not be understood by any god or man, but which only I, the wisest of gods, could understand. ”
His fingers trembled and twisted, then he raised his hand, and then plunged his finger directly into his head in the stunned gaze of Mimir, deep into the organ that man called the brain, regarded as the source of all wisdom, and Loki laughed maniacally in the sharp pain and blurred consciousness of the fingers stirring the brain.
"Human beings divide the numbers from 1 to 9, thinking that they have included all the numbers, but there is an extremely strange thing, that is, all the numbers in the world, the numbers that should exist equally, have never existed equally!"
"Of all the numbers in the world, the probability of 1 is 30.1%, the probability of 2 is 17.6%, and the probability of 3 is 12.5%...... Until the last 9, the probability of occurrence is only 4.6%, how astonishing! House number, name, physical constant, chemical constant, population, statistics, stocks, river length, number of newspaper sales...... If you sum up all the numbers in the whole world, among these numbers that are considered to be randomly distributed, the probability of 1 appearing is actually a fraction of a third!"
"Why??? because there are so many more numbers! There are 45 numbers! 15 of them are hidden in 1, hidden by some force!!
"The whole world! It's all fake!!"
In Loki's hideous and crazy angry voice, his vision was already blurred by the sharp pain in his brain, and all the images in front of him seemed to have become another crazy and grotesque world......
Beneath his feet, there were countless dark red flesh and wriggling purple veins, and all the sounds in his ears became distorted and grotesquely disgusting, and what seemed to be a fountain of wisdom was replaced by a foul-smelling cavity, and in that bottomless flesh cavity was filled with a disgusting viscous fluid like mollusk secretions, and the flesh-like thing even squirmed from time to time as if it were alive.
