Chapter Thirty-Six: I Want Narrative Authority
In the dark universe, the screams that constantly release hatred continue, but the "Knosaus" as the source has gradually escaped from the state of madness.
He crouched at the end of the universe, bound by the chains of countless narrative domains.
He was fat and bloated, and he was extremely pale.
He pursed his lips and stared at Tang Qi with a pair of eyes that looked like a giant scarlet planet.
Inside, there is malice and hatred that can never be dissolved.
However, Tang Qi didn't care, just after a short confrontation, Tang Qi was already convinced that although this lord of hatred, ravage, and slavery was still extremely far from the state of "weakness and fall", he had also really fallen into the dominant person, and the long years of captivity had weakened him to the extreme.
Donchi couldn't kill Him, but there was nothing wrong with protecting himself.
He did not break away from the Dream Master, confronting him in the universe in the form of this phosphorescent tentacle.
Tang Qi had no doubt that this guy could pounce again at any moment, he was already hungry to the limit.
Without hesitation, Tang Qi spoke in the body of a master.
The sound of the vastness that went straight into the soul penetrated into the depths of Knosaus's long-imprisoned psyche.
"Do you want to be free?"
Without dragging his feet, Tang Qi got to the point.
Knosaus's reaction was also expected.
Rumble!
A howl of pain and despair, accompanied by a scarlet light, filled the universe.
The huge body seemed to be able to swallow the universe, and the bloated and pale body slowly cracked a crack, and a figure walked out of it.
Dressed in tattered but ancient robes, he had a handsome face somewhere between human and elf, with long pointed ears, deep eyes, and a faint white fuzz on his body, an image that was hard not to be reminded of the innocent and beautiful boys of those ancient epics.
"They are innocent and pure, they are glowing. ”
Most epic poems are often described in this way.
Only at this moment, He seemed too pale, and his eyes were blood-red that could not be concealed, and madness and hatred were raging in them.
Anyone who sees Him can realize, but beneath that beautiful skin is an ugly and depraved soul.
Tang Qi's mind flowed with fragments of information that he had already guessed.
"The early image of Knosaus, who was originally a young man who was loved by the gods, always had many listeners to the stories he concocted, and Oneprola, the goddess of 'dreams' and 'hearts', was one of them. ”
"Although he is a fat boy who has fallen out of control now, he was a beautiful male god who turned all beings upside down in the beginning. ”
When Tang Qi sighed, that Knosaus was already standing in the void of the universe, facing Tang Qi.
The hatred on his face could not be concealed, and he did not intend to hide it, he was greedy and longed for Tang Qi's fresh and incomparably dominant body, but he had just been struck by the roar of the Furnace Master, and he had been swallowed up by the Furnace for an unknown amount of time, and he was unable to force it again.
Hearing that, he, a beautiful man who had regained his senses, stared at Tang Qi with a suspicious gaze, and then replied, "What do you want?"
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Knosaas is true that he is a mad god, but after years of captivity and the indoctrination of the hundreds of millions of "narrative domains" in the town of the Grotesque, he has actually regained some wisdom.
He did it first because he was sure he was strong enough that it was almost impossible for him to fall.
However, it was discovered that this intruder, the so-called "unleashing of the Old Gods", was not weak, on the contrary, he was still very strong, and he also had a close relationship with the Forge Master.
If it's another master, forget it, it's just a "melting pot".
There are only a few big men in the chaotic and evil camp, and they are not afraid of the power of the furnace.
The rest of the spirits only dare to attack the furnace when they are in a group.
As a God who fell from the Lordship and was imprisoned, a little softness was not a loss of face.
Tang Qi saw through this, but he just smiled and went straight to the key part.
"I wonder what you'll do if I release you...... Tell me your true answer, which will determine whether you can actually escape from this cage. ”
"Or do you try to trick me and see what happens?"
Before that beautiful man, the human form that Tang had imagined appeared and replied.
Hearing the word freedom, Knosaus immediately entered a state of urgency, his crazy red eyes shone on the universe, and he did not hesitate to spit out the truest answer in the depths of his heart.
"Revenge, I want revenge. ”
"I don't care who you are, what your purpose is, whether you release me or not. ”
"As soon as the great Knosaus, the great lord of hatred, ravage, and servitude, leaves this damned prison, I will surely go to that shameless family, and I will seize them, starting with the most damned Oneprola, and I will destroy them one by one. ”
"I told you, I'm going to come back...... No one can stop me...... I will not stop hating until I destroy Them. ”
As if to add to the persuasiveness, as Knosas roared, the cosmic howls, smirks, whispers...... All the voices filled with negativity began to intensify wildly, and the noise tried to pollute Tang Qi's mind again and again, trying to manipulate him again and again.
Obviously, the relationship between husband and wife has long been completely broken.
Oneprola's expectation that her husband would wake up after years of captivity and return to the camp of goodness and return to His side was completely frustrated.
What Knosas wanted was to kill Him and His Family of We Are the Light once and for all.
A choice is in front of Tang Qi, and sooner or later a war between the two will break out.
Donch's actions will determine when war breaks out.
But Don Qi doesn't really have any other choice, he has already participated in the so-called "game of fate", and if he doesn't follow the instructions of the fate to release Knosaas early, Sally's ending will become uncertain.
In the showdown with the of fate, Tang Qi is undoubtedly at an absolute disadvantage.
Naturally, he still has a chance to fight back, but that will take time.
Standing in place for a few seconds of silence, Donch made a decision, staring at Knosaas and proposing an irrefutable deal.
"I release you, but you have to give me something. ”
"What?"
"There's a kind of authority you have that might have been important to you in the early days, but you shouldn't really care about it now...... I want your 'forced narrative' divinity, give it to me, and you get free...... It's a fair deal, and you can think about it, but you're running out of time, and the gods are trying to protect the town. ”
"Despicable thief, it turns out that your purpose is my authority, and you are ......"
Knosace's roar didn't continue, and his regained sanity brought him into thought.
As Donch said, He didn't have much time.
It is true that he will be out of trouble someday in the future, but that time will be long...... 10,000 years, 100,000 years, or more?
In particular, the door of the grotesque opened, and the first inhabitants of the town were aware of it, and they would definitely act to prevent Donch from freeing Knosaus.
Knosaus's thoughts did not last long, and he made a decision immediately after weighing.
The forced narrative is actually a very powerful divine authority, but it is far less important than it was in the beginning, for Knosaus, who now has the "lord of hatred, ravage, and slavery".
He was no longer the little boy who made up stories to please the gods.
"I agree!"
"But the witness to this transaction, I hope is the Lady of Destiny. ”
When the pale young man standing in front of the giant fat boy with his hair spewed out the second sentence.
Tang Qi seemed to have expected it, and did not show the slightest surprise.
Since this inexplicable game of fate, the order of this level is to cast Knoshaus, it is inevitable that there is some kind of connection between the two.
When the agreement was reached, in the universe filled with hatred and roar, deep in a bloated arm covered with pale scales, the symbol of the "Goddess of Fate" on the back of the hand emerged in a snort, and endless branches of fate swayed in the mist.
Tang Qi also stretched out a hand, and the same fate symbol appeared on the back of his hand.
But in a slight departure from Knossaus, a mysterious crown of monarchs slowly became real.
A voice that seemed to contain some kind of meaning spit out from Tang Qi's mouth.
"It's going to be a fair deal, and no one side is going to get hurt...... Believe me. ”
......
The town of the Grotesque, the top of a lone peak ravaged by a blizzard.
A large amount of ink containing divine power smeared in the surrounding void, and within each mass of ink was a magical and strange world.
The gods have not yet left, and due to Tang Qi's "recklessness", more spirits are coming.
Realizing that the town of the Grotesque was likely to be destroyed, the first inhabitants could not hold back and began to inform the other gods of its secrets.
If the playground is to be saved, all residents must contribute.
A "gathering of all souls" is brewing.
At the edges, in a cloud of gray ink, Thorpe's figure loomed.
In the coercive narrative realm he dominates, "Everyone Dies", the three goddess candidates are all wide-eyed, trying to digest the astonishing secrets they have learned from their father.
"Narcissus is not a human at all, but a master?"
"He came here to free the old god imprisoned in the town's other world, the lord of hatred, ravage, and enslavement, Knosace?"
"He's on the verge of success, and the gods are trying to stop it?"
The three sisters exclaimed, but soon became suspicious.
"Daddy, are you lying to us, that guy doesn't look like he's from the evil camp. ”
"Well, if you look so good, you shouldn't be a chaotic and evil creature. ”
"That's right, it doesn't look like a temperament, and a master is too exaggerated, if it's really an evil master, you're not his opponent at all, Daddy. ”
Thorpe didn't expect that the truth he spit out failed to win the trust of the three sisters, and also raised questions about his father's strength.
Just as Thorpe slapped the table angrily, thinking about what strong evidence to come up with.
Abruptly, the ink-covered mountaintops.
Rumble!
A large number of dark and terrifying psychic chains surged, howls and laughter returned, and the grotesque door that had closed and disappeared reappeared.
Tang Qi, who had returned to his original appearance, walked out of the portal.
He confronted the gods directly, but also the whole town of the grotesque.
With his head held high, the infinite phosphorescence behind him flickered wildly, and the power of fantasy beyond reality was about to burst out.
Tang Qi's voice resounded throughout the grotesque town at this moment.
"It's a very interesting place and I love it as much as you do. ”
"But unfortunately, it was fate...... As we all know, that's a vile and shameless bitch who likes to play with everything...... Again, I'm sorry and sorry. ”
"Bear with me, everyone, and this will soon be over. ”
