Chapter 11: The Paradox of the World

"Well, uncle, you still don't know about the [Traverser] (Out_of_bounds). Hmm, the analysis of otherworldly things is also generated after you were sealed, maybe it is better to start with otherworldly things? ”

After succinctly explaining the existence and origin of otherworldly things, Lynn cleared her throat.

"As for why otherworldly things drift from other worlds and pass through the Root Vortex, it may be related to people who have reached the Roots. Even with the endless obstruction of inhibiting power, there are many who reach the root cause as human beings. And the people who arrive there and integrate into it will erase the cause and effect and traces of reality, so for people from the outside world, they have arrived, but it is impossible to verify whether they have existed. ”

"However, the root of the foreign object is finally affected by the ghouls, you see, even the source code does not mean that it can be compatible with any character, because of the internal deviation, we are not clear, the gap between the world [otherworldly] is also attracted, drifting to this world."

"But just like the way I mentioned the existence of otherworldly things, for the people of this world, otherworldly things contain rules that are simply incomprehensible and incompatible. Among them, there are earth-like worlds, there are other worlds where 90% of the history coincides with the earth, and there are also other worlds that are completely deviated. Maybe you'll become a monster like Godzilla in another world, uncle. ”

"Otherworldly things...... Is it? ”

Accardo muttered.

Although he has wandered the European continent for 500 years and has seen all kinds of heroes, he has never found anything otherworldly. In Lynn's words, it is a drug of the mind, a product of distorted rules, that only those who seek the truth of the world can see.

"So what is a traverser?"

"That's something else. If the [Otherworldly Thing] is compared to a drifting bottle, then the [Traverser] (Out_of_bounds) is a stowaway. I came to this world for a variety of reasons, and because I was baptized in the Vortex of the Roots, I got a wonderful power that was different from the past. As far as I know, the three time-travelers are sword immortals in a large eastern country, agricultural products in a large western country, and experimental subjects here in London. ”

The question is never what the traverser can do.

Even if you can slash thousands of demons with a single sword, you can grow a plant comparable to a missile in the fertile soil, and you can make a wish in exchange for the same price. The power of the traverser himself is still not enough for the entire magic world.

The point is the impact of the presence of these traversers.

"That's what is called the paradox of the world (The_paradox_of_the_world)."

"No matter what the world is, there will only be one future at the same time, right? If there is a disagreement on something, then the future will be divided into two, and parallel worlds will arise. This is the most popular parallel world theory in the magic world today. ”

"But this is the result of insider observations, but what about [not the consequences of insider observations]?"

By placing their hands in the sandbox, the toddler can easily adjust the arrangement of the toys and shatter the original order. It was a more heretical and freewheeling force than the [variables] of Lynn's origin.

Such is the existence of the traverser. Even if they are baptized by the world and recognized by the world, their identity as outsiders is undoubted, and the moment they appear in the world, they change the world.

"SchrΓΆdinger's cat, you should know better than anyone else. When the facts are observed to become a reality, but the observation of the time-traveler will put the cat in a state of life and death, that is, it will neither produce parallel worlds nor historical separation, but mix them into a mess. It is not until another time-traveler arrives that this mess can be unraveled, and people can discover the distortion that once existed through the observation of the past. ”

So, two things with different causes and the same result will be mixed up. Just like the Thirteenth Ancestor of the previous and the real Piercing Father in history, the past of the two people is mixed together, and the overflowing power of him as a Dead Apostle and his sublimation into a heroic spirit has formed the King of Monsters Vampire Accardo.

He's not a piercing male.

He is not the twenty-seventh ancestor.

He is a common apparition of the two men.

This is, the paradox of the world (The_paradox_of_the_world). Until a few months ago, even Aunt Intergula and I, who had met with the Servant Impaler, didn't realize how you became a Heroic Spirit before you died and transformed into a Heroic Spirit. Because this kind of mixed worldline shields us from the perception of the truth of the matter. It wasn't until a new time-traveler descended into this world a few months ago that the current Thirteenth Ancestor of the Sands of Osiris realized something was wrong from the data. ”

"Because there is no danger to the future of humanity, Alayah remains silent; Because it has no effect on the planet, Gaia is still sleeping in the inner sea. And except for these two [Paradoxes of the World] that can be discovered because of their position, even magicians will not find out. So until today, Accardo, you will be able to know. ”

The policewoman looked at Accardo with some concern.

A few months ago, the truth discovered by Rin Tosaka in the Imperial Knights of the Kingdom of Okidaku, because the time-traveler had closed the paradox of the world, had shocked Intergula and made her wonder if the man was her dream.

But the imprint of the pentagram in the basement and the presence of Silas brought confidence to Intergula, who had been depressed for a while.

But this time is different.

It was none other than Accardo himself who was accused of being an apparition.

Who can accept that they are just an unreal phantom? Who can understand that the situation they once insisted on is just a memory of someone.

Silas thought she couldn't do that, and she felt a tingling in her scalp just by imagining that she was someone else's fantasy character. Isn't that the famous brain-in-a-vat experiment just like that? I am not myself, I am my imaginary self, I live in the real world, I live in the imaginary world...... When all those paradoxes accumulate on one person, that kind of pressure must be able to crush people.

In front of the policewoman, Accardo, who looked like a petite girl, did look down.

"I ...... Is it a phantom? ”

"What a joke!"

Suddenly, he stood up abruptly and looked at Lynn with a hideous expression.

"Am I a phantom? Am I non-existent? Am I imaginary? ”

"There's a limit to joking! Gremlin! I can tolerate your rude calls to me, but don't say that again! ”

The King of Monsters roared.

"I exist!"

"Those three million four hundred and twenty-four thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight are the path of my life, my subjects, and my territory! Those are the reasons for my existence beyond a doubt! Five hundred years ago, a hundred years ago, fifteen years ago, I saw the kind of situation that I saw! ”

……

The story of the Piercing Gong is a household name in this world.

The demon who killed countless people with capital punishment - his enemies called him that. But in essence, the "Piercing Father" was just a wretched man (see Chapter 24 of Volume 1 for details), a devout prayer seeker. Even in the years when he was called a demon, he still held high the banner of God.

However, he lost everything.

Territory, subjects, lovers, and lives...... Even in the end, the faith that I fought for all my life was lost in the end.

The decapitated Pierced Male at that dusk became a monster who had lost everythingβ€”this was Accardo's memory.

If there is no land, it will use itself as the land and use its body to accommodate thousands of undead.

All the enemies who died by gluttony became subjects, and the man named Accardor was not a man, but a "castle" called Accardo.

both the land and the subjects; He is the king and the soldier under his command.

This is the only thing left of the man who has lost everything.

"The paradox of the world? Traverser? Do you think you're going to be able to bluff me with such a boring term? I tell you, that's impossible! ”

In a trance, the angry Accardo seemed to see what he had been watching until an hour ago.

The burning sun set in the sky, casting a golden afterglow over the ruined wilderness, the dry trees stained with burning blood, and the earth covered in scarlet. Every time he died, he saw something like that.

No, it's not!

Accardo said to himself in his heart.

I've come back, I've escaped from that place where it's nothing! Even if it was the most beautiful scene I've ever seen in my life, proof that I was killed as a monster by a human, I wouldn't see it again!

I exist today!

"No, you didn't understand what I me......"

Lynn tried to defend himself, but before he could get close to Accardo's side, he felt the petite Lori in front of him exude a bloodthirsty killing intent.

(If you come close, you'll die.) οΌ‰

Suddenly, Venom opened his eyes, and the tentacles condensed from his body took Lynn back more than ten meters.

"Be careful, your brother-in-law is dangerous."

"Ah, I see."

With a roar in response to Venom, Lynn continued to look at Accardo. At this time, the condensed magic had formed a blood-colored fog around Accardo, and he was staring at Lynn with blood-red eyes.

Lynn's words really stimulated Accardo, as if he was denying Accardo's way of being, denying Accardo's life, and made him completely hostile to Lynn.

"Little ghost, I just want to break your neck right now......"

"What happened?"

At this moment, the door of the underground martial arts arena suddenly opened, and Intergula walked out of it. The previous battle had affected the entire Helsing Mansion, and as the head of the house, she should have come to check it out. circumstance

But who is the little imp standing in the middle? What about children I don't know.

"You ......"

Intgula was about to ask for the name of the girl who gave her a hint of familiarity, but found that she was staring at her with a strange gaze, and then turned into a blood-colored bat and rushed out of the underground arena.

In the end, Intergula still failed to discover Accardo's identity, and in order to reassure Intercula, Lynn and Silas lied together to cover up Accardo's return.

Another day passed, and Lynn and the policewoman searched through London, but still couldn't find Accardo. It's as if the short-lived king of monsters, really like a phantom, suddenly appears and suddenly disappears.

Just like the very body of His existence.

PS: Uncle A is an anime character I like very much, even if he turns him into a Luo identity because of his spoof mentality - anyway, what am I afraid of if the official has this vest - I won't maliciously smear, weaken or even attack Uncle A. It is precisely because of this that I am not sure to intervene in the overall story of Hell Song at all, and I am thankful that I can play a level or two of the original book (of course, I can't reach it). Therefore, what I choose to describe Uncle A is what he has insisted on for 500 years. If the previous insistence was vain, the former oath was vain, and the object of revenge was vain, then what would happen to Uncle A? Whether to live persistently or to live with relief, perhaps, when the cross that was clenched in life was chopped up by the executioner, there will be an answer.
