Act XXXVIII: The Secret (II)

The Entropy Demon represents the chaos in the universe, the highest embodiment of this concept, and in Rosen's words, the law of the Entropy Demon is "chaos", and he is the being who created this concept.

If what Rosen knew about the emergence of this world in the beneath the Great Sanctuary of Ramirez was correct, then there is no doubt that the Entropy Demon is the embodiment of the will to pursue freedom and chaos in this universe.

Above the sages, above the gods, even those unspeakable beings cannot match.

"The Entropy Demon will appear anywhere where the civilization of order is stronger than the forces of Chaos, and after destroying it, it will disappear without a trace, leaving only a forbidden area of death where it cannot survive, and the previous attempt of Greyius and I to save the world from chaos triggered the pursuit of the Entropy Demon. ”

The girl said, sighing softly.

"If left unchecked, all the worlds will fall into chaos, and eventually the entire universe will be in a state of chaos and disorder, at that time, no life will be born, and the whole universe will reach a chaotic equilibrium, which will be the truly eternal end. ”

"Isn't there a way to defeat him? There must be a similar presence on the side of Order, right?"

Rosen questioned that if according to the creation myth, then the will to represent order should also exist, and the two fought against each other to form the entire universe.

However, in response to Lawson's question, the girl shook her head slightly.

"Unfortunately, based on my observations so far, I don't find anything like this. ”

She paused, then waved her hand, and a blue planet appeared in space.

"This is what the continent of Atlas looked like when I arrived. ”

Rosen saw that most of the planet was ocean, the land was covered with green, and only a few places had cities, and there was a peaceful scene.

Soon, however, black swarm-like objects began to emerge from the surface, gradually eroding most of the land, and spreading across the ocean to the rest of the world, turning the entire planet black almost instantly.

"What is this?"

Rosen looked at this apocalyptic scene, slightly surprised, this is not like the handiwork of the people of Chaos, but more like the invasion of some kind of creature.

"This is a creature created by the Entropy Demon, with the law of devouring, the ability to evolve, although I don't know the official name, but I generally call it the abyss swarm, in most corners of the universe, it is this kind of swarm devouring civilization, they have a huge number, rapid multiplication ability, normally, the first-level civilization will be completely devoured by it within ten natural years. ”

The girl explained, looked at Lawson, and added.

"The so-called first-level civilization refers to the level of civilization similar to the current Atlas continent, or the planet I live in before the end of the world, this kind of civilization is usually the only civilization in the galaxy, but most of the energy is extremely dependent on the home planet and has no control ability, and can only use the resources of its own planet, if the home planet is destroyed, then the civilization usually cannot continue. ”

"As for the second-level civilization, it can fully use the energy of the parent star, and the entire planetary system will be under the control of the civilization, and use it as a base to extend to other planetary systems, and at the same time, the second-level civilization can also rewrite the laws of the galaxy to some extent. ”

"Level 3 civilizations are capable of controlling entire star systems, that is, countless constellations like the galaxy where the continent of Atlas is located, and this type of civilization has completely mastered the laws and can rewrite and create them on a large scale. ”

After thinking about it, the girl continued to add.

"From the point of view of the level of strength, I am to the Atlas continent to the level of a second-level civilization to a first-level civilization, but after all, the sea of stars is the crystallization of a condensed whole world, so I can't be considered a civilization alone. ”

Rosen nodded, according to Wayne's explanation, a civilization one level higher is indeed a god-like existence in the eyes of a low-level civilization.

"This abyssal swarm once descended on the continent of Atlas?"

Rosen remembered the previous topic and continued to ask.

"That's right, at that time, although the Atlas continent had magical power as a peculiar point of spatial warping, and the aborigines also had a considerable part of the resources that could use magical power, but in the face of the abyssal insect swarm, this power was still too small, and when I came to this world, the civilization here had actually died. ”

Wayne said, as if reminiscing.

"At that time, the highest existence of the Atlas continent, that is, the dragon god Bahamut, was dying, and I helped him, for an existence like me, it was not difficult to expel the abyssal swarm, and soon, I helped him reshape the whole world, which is what is recorded in the creation myth of this world. ”

"But that drew the people of Chaos?"

Rosen guessed that according to Wayne's previous words, the method of entropy demons to erode the world should be to spread the abyssal swarm everywhere first, and if they can't occupy it, they will send the people of Chaos, and then they will go into battle in person, so since Wayne helped Bahamut expel the abyssal swarm, then what they have to face next is naturally the people of Chaos.

"That's right, the people of chaos descended more than a thousand years after that, and despite the heavy losses of the gods with the secondary authority of the Star Sea, they managed to repel them - as they should have been. ”

Wei Yin smiled helplessly and continued.

"But then we found out that the people of chaos had already planted a seed in this world, the seed of chaos, that seed continued to take root and sprout, prompting the remnants of the gods to transform into the people of chaos, and you should know the rest of the story. ”

After countless epochs, the Sages who defeated the People of Chaos eventually became the People of Chaos, and then, the Sage mechanism arranged by the goddess was born, and all the Sages would face the fate of dying after defeating the enemy.

"But wait, what do those people mean by welcoming the new world?"

Rosen thought of a question, he had seen the opposition in the Templar before, although at first he thought it was just some kind of deception, but in fact, after coming to the Endless Void, seeing the existence of the crystal wall, Rosen had a new opinion.

"You must have seen the existence of crystal walls, in fact, this layer of crystal walls is not only a barrier against the invasion of the people of Chaos, but also a shackle that seals the development of this world. ”

As she spoke, Wei Yin projected a picture of the entire galaxy in her hand, and it could be seen that including the sun in the center, the continent of Atlas and the surrounding planets were all within the crystal wall.

"As long as there are crystal walls, then the civilization on the continent of Atlas will never be able to evolve to a second-level civilization. ”
