Chapter Fifty-Nine: Longing for the Ashes of Fire

What is the world like? Gaia, who knows a qiē, will tell you that you are infinite (a thousand worlds, a master world), and Clyde will tell you that you are the shackles that bind life (as strong as Titans, saints will also destroy you with the destruction of the world, similar to a state of symbiosis), but what about a broken world?

Craven didn't know exactly how long they had walked, but it was certain that the passage beneath their feet and the books around them were disappearing over time, leaving only a pitch-black space and a shattered orb floating in the air.

"What's that?" Alice asked, pointing to the shattered orb above.

The sphere was only 15 percent complete, and the rest of the body had become debris or dust scattered throughout the space, but Craven could clearly feel that the debris and dust were slowly moving towards the full part of the sphere.

"That sphere is the current state of the world. Aresya explained, and at the same time, an illusory orb with countless blue-blue points of light in her hand suddenly appeared in her hand, "This is the original state of this world, and the fragments you see are the only survivor, Lord Clyde, after repairing it・・・・・・・・・

"And this Court of the Dead is a small plane of this, the point of light at the top of the fragment is the plane of the Court of the Dead, and the brighter point of light below is the new world being built. Zelesia said as she floated slowly in the air, pointing to the partially intact sphere that remained.

"So, who the hell is that Clyde?Why are we being teleported here??!," Craven asked the doubts in his heart, and it was really embarrassing for him to hold back for so long.

"Haven't you seen it, Lord Clyde?"

"What?!" Craven and Alice suddenly remembered the black-haired young man who appeared in front of them before and said that he would help them escape from Lianming City, "Is it?!"

"Or do you think?" Zelesia glanced at the two of them.

"Can we go back then・・・・・・・・・・?" the two pondered for a moment, and then Alice asked.

As soon as Alice's words fell, Aresya replied unhurriedly, "Of course you can go back, but are you sure you can live in peace in your world?"

"This ・・・・・・・・・・"

The two remembered that they were still wanted by the Vatican worldwide, and they originally fled to China because the Chinese forces were not very interested in the Vatican・・・・・・・ or religious forces, as long as they did not reveal their identities, then no one would come to trouble them・・・・・・・・

It's a pity that the two of them thought too well, and they didn't expect that the nine groups in China would join forces with the ninjas in the Far East and the [Dark Church] to arrest them, just to get the Vatican's 'promise'!

"Of course, if there is the protection of Lord Clyde, there will be no problem, and the will of your world seems to have some kind of deal with Lord Clyde, in order to ensure that Lord Clyde does not change his mind, it will definitely protect you, don't worry. "Elesya, who learned from Lulutia that Gaia and Alaye had a zài, only revealed a little bit of the information, which made Craven and Alice's eyes widen in disbelief.

"The consciousness of the world, hey, hey, hey, this is too much!" For the two of them, the consciousness of the world is a superdimensional storage zài that they can't touch at all, and the storage zài, which they usually don't dare to think of, was actually mentioned by the two sisters in front of them, and there was no trace of awe in their tones.

"We can't go into the details of the situation with you, but you should know that there are other worlds besides yours・・・・・・・・・"

"Hmm!" the two nodded, after all, they were in another world at this time, and it was impossible to deny it.

"Now, Master Clyde is making his home in your world, and has agreed to the request of the world consciousness to save other worlds, and you have also seen that the state of this world ・・・・・・・・・" With Aresya's words, Craven and Alice subconsciously looked at the shattered orb above, "Those worlds are facing the invasion of other beings, and the tragedy of this world must not appear in other worlds・・・・・・・・・!"

"So?"

"Therefore, Lord Clyde intends to select some qualified people to go to other worlds to deal with those invaders, which is also the request of your consciousness in that world, after all, Lord Clyde alone cannot save all the worlds at the same time, so he summoned you to this court of death. ”

"・・・・・・・・・・・" The two were silent for a moment, and then Craven, with a solemn face, asked, "In other words, we are the saviors chosen by the world and by what you call Clyde?"

"So to speak. ”

"Heh~ I didn't expect that I, who was classified as a heretic and was hunted down by the whole world, would one day become a savior?!

"Craven, are you alright?" asked Alice, who knew Craven's personality with some concern, and now Craven's mental state was a little unstable.

"It's okay, I'm just venting the frustration in my heart・・・・・・・・・" Craven took a deep breath to calm the boredom in his heart.

"Of course, not only you, but also people from other worlds will be chosen as saviors, but you must remember that as long as you are not a person who has come to the Court of the Dead and still claims to be a savior, you must be a lackey of the gods・・・・・・・・・・!"

"・・・・・・・ lackeys of the gods?"

"You shouldn't know this, and I won't be able to tell you until you're old enough to climb the three-digit level of the Mage Tower. ”

"So, the last question, why did Clyde and the consciousness of the world choose us?" asked Craven, who was silent for a moment, his frowning brow gradually soothing, as if relieved.

"Because your qualifications, your hearts, and your gifts are the best in that world, and you are the best candidates to be the savior. "Naturally, Aresya will not say that it was just a whim of Clyde to make them saviors, although their qualifications, hearts and talents are indeed the best in that world, but if the reason is not good, then Craven and Arya will probably choose to leave without hesitation when Clyde returns.

"I see, which means we only need to show up when there is a crisis in the (other) world, and then it usually doesn't restrict our movements, right?!" Alice said, touching her chin.

"That's right, and the Savior is ordained by the world consciousness, so you will not be persecuted from within the world, for example, if someone pursues you, the pursuer will not be able to pursue you for various reasons. Aresya's words made the two of them suddenly light up, if this is the case, then wouldn't they run to the Vatican headquarters without being harmed?!

The fantasy of the two is not impossible to realize, but the consciousness of the world is not so easy to fool, if they really run to the Vatican headquarters, even Clyde will not care about them (those who do death will definitely die).

"By the way, you said that the guardians of this space would kill everyone who looks down, but I found ...... in those eyes below It doesn't feel like it's murderous. Alice asked the two sisters as if she remembered something.

"......" The two sisters were stunned when they heard this, they glanced at each other, and seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes, Zelesia could only open her mouth to explain, and it was useless to lie now.

"It is indeed a lie to say that they will kill everyone who looks down, but as guardians, they protect the secrets of this space, and if you really want to explore, without the permission of my lord, they will undoubtedly kill you!" Zelesia told the two with a stern expression.

"They are all the ashes left over from the destruction of this world, and this world of continuous recovery is the embers they desire........." Areya dispersed the golden-red illusory orb in her hand, summoning a faint fire that was about to be extinguished, "In order to restore this rekindled embers into the raging flames of the past, as ashes, they are not willing to be silent, and they have gathered around Lord Clyde to create a new world and this court of death, which is why Mirayan is hostile to you." ”

"Because in their eyes, you are outsiders, predators who try to take away the meaning of the ashes, and if you take their place, then what is the meaning of them?"

"............" is a bit of a heavy question, no! or rather, it's something that Craven and Alice didn't think of at all.

Obviously they are so powerful, but they are afraid that they will be taken away by these weak people, just because of the decision of the world and the man named Clyde......

"So you'd better not mention anything about this world in front of the ashes, and you don't need to intervene in the cause and effect of this world in order to save other worlds. ”

The two of Aresya's speakers immediately understood that their choice as the 'savior' was actually equivalent to being allies with the people of this world, and Clyde must need the help of others to save those worlds, and the strong people in the new world were all ashes left behind before the destruction of this world, and they didn't know if they could fight in other worlds, and the endless worlds alone could not take care of the invaded worlds even if everyone in the Algorithm Tower was sent out.

That's why they need these 'saviors' appointed by Clyde and the world, who are said to be allies, but in fact they are just mercenaries to add manpower, but the difference is that they are more like private soldiers under the 'nobles (Gaia)' than mercenaries. ?

Those 'ashes' are Clyde's private soldiers, and they, the 'saviors' who are appointed by Clyde and the world's consciousness, are another independent private soldier who obeys the world, and those 'ashes' are comrades-in-arms and competitors, but the 'ashes' who are the ashes of the past have no common language in front of these 'people' who have not experienced destruction.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Ah~ I feel like my body is hollowed out, and I'm almost a dead fish (no, it's not a salty fish!)

Note: The setting of Clyde's inner world is very similar to the world view of the Black Soul World (including the setting of Ash (the ashes without fire), so even if Lulutia and the others are killed, they will be resurrected in the Court of the Dead), but unlike the Black Soul World, the broken new world is constantly regaining its original glory, and the fire of the Black Soul World is constantly extinguishing, and the darkness will always envelop the Black Soul World・・・・・・・・
