Chapter 480: When All Things Are One (Final Chapter) (1)
As Luo Zhengdao combed and interpreted the memories of the Aragami that were fused into his mind, the earth-shattering past events that happened in the past gradually revealed their true colors from the fog of history.
To put it simply, things are not complicated, the Aragami who was also a powerful god back then felt that he was more than lucky after his companions were defeated, and he ruthlessly cut off his own soul, just to seek a glimmer of life. A part of the Divine Soul was thrown into the main material realm, seeking reincarnation and rebirth, and the other part was thrown into the world fusion channel, so that the opponent could not catch up, and the last remaining Divine Soul and Divine Body of Aragami were transformed into powerful bombs, ready to die with the enemy. The Demon Card Master, who was an opponent, was not in vain, and they skillfully used the rules of judgment that destroy the world even if it is an evil god, awaken the world consciousness, and stuff this Aragami into the subspace and imprison him.
In fact, before the moment of complete banning came, the Aragami had already blown himself into a strange mass between energy and matter, and he was only a thin line away from complete destruction. It is not so much that he is still alive and imprisoned, but that he is dead, but not completely dead.
The tragic scenes were shocking to see, Luo Zhengdao continued to rummage forward, and soon found the memory of the Aragami discussing the fusion of the world, so he cut directly into it to analyze.
Suddenly, Luo Zhengdao seemed to be in a glorious hall, surrounded by participants of different shapes, although he had known that most of the Aragami were not in human form, but appeared in the form of beasts, plants, and insects, at this moment, from the perspective of a bystander, he was indeed much more barbaric than those gods of today's era.
ββ¦β¦ The Magister's plan is stupid, we're going to go our own way. β
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have found the most suitable target outside the crystal wall system, and we will discuss when to start the fusion plan."
At this time, Luo Zhengdao was completely substituted into the first-person perspective of his predecessor Aragami, and he could even clearly understand the subtle emotional changes of Aragami in his memory at this moment, and he implied a trace of deep worry in his excitement. Needless to say, the strength of the Aragami is very strong, which does not mean that they will only use brute force and have no brains, for the serious consequences of a possible head-on conflict between themselves and the Demon Card Master, those leaders with a more long-term vision will naturally not have no scruples, but before the two sides start a war, they will never imagine how miserable their side will lose, Aragami did not overestimate their own strength but underestimated the combat effectiveness of the ruthless people of the Demon Card Master, which is a fatal wound.
"The Demon Card Master is against this plan, and if we forcibly promote world integration, they will definitely stop it."
"Hahahaha, are you scared? Don't worry about this little thing, man, we are invincible. β
"Alright! Hope I'm wrong, old friend. β
When these words came out of his mouth, Luo Zhengdao really felt the complicated state of mind of this Aragami, he was not optimistic about the plans of his companions, and since everyone had decided, he could only support them with all his might.
Things are not as sinister as many conspiracy theorists imagine in hindsight, and if they are not filled with blood, carnage, conspiracy, and betrayal, then it cannot be called history, and the starting point of the Aragami to push forward with their all-out world integration project is undoubtedly simple, and they launched this plan to solve the problem.
With the original intention of preventing the new world from falling into a state of heat death, Aragami and the Demon Card Master each chose a different path forward, trying to save the world, and the methods of the two were not only different, but also incompatible with each other, which was the root of the subsequent series of tragedies.
The Aragami try to delay the heat death by introducing new system variables, and avoid the original world from entering the heat death by merging with other worlds, which is a potential risk, but it is also a way out. The Magicians have decided to extend the life of the universe with a strict digital control method, and adding new variables is a bad act for them. It can be said that once the two sides start the established plan, then what the other party does will form a substantial hindrance, which is the fundamental reason why neither Aragami nor the magic card master can tolerate each other, so it is not surprising to pinch it, it is strange that there is such a sharp contradiction and conflict before it has been fought!
"Stephen Hawking, where is the world merging stuck?"
Hastily skimmed through the memories of the Aragami, what should be known, Luo Zhengdao felt that he had almost figured it out, the only thing he couldn't understand was what the magic card masters had gone to great lengths to pull their one-third of the Aragami from the earth to the new world.
Hearing Luo Zhengdao's question, Hawking's face disappeared, and he explained in a bitter tone:
"Well, we need a final fusion order, a secret that only a few Aragami know, but unfortunately we learned this too late."
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but ask:
"Are you sure that the insider also includes me?"
"Of course, there's no doubt about it."
Due to the limited time, it is impossible to read all the details, Luo Zhengdao basically jumped to see it, and at this moment, after listening to Hawking's answer so firmly, he could only accept it, and said:
"Well, since you're so sure, I'll try again."
That dreamlike state of immersive memories is turned on again, and looking at the world from the perspective of Aragami does have a wonderful feeling of replaying old black and white movies, this time Luo Zhengdao didn't think much about it, and concentrated all his energy on retrieving relevant memory fragments.
The faint fragrance lingered in the bright room full of flowers and plants, which made people feel very comfortable, and Luo Zhengdao, who switched to the first-person perspective, heard himself speak:
ββ¦β¦ Why don't you tell everyone? β
The bird-headed Aragami who was walking side by side with him laughed, as if to relieve his companion, and the other party kindly patted Luo Zhengdao or the shoulder of the predecessor Aragami and said;
"Because it's too dangerous, if this command is activated before the two worlds complete the deep fusion, can you imagine what the consequences will be if you throw a red-hot stone into cold water?"
"So when can you be sure that the deep integration is successful?"
"I don't know."
"I don't know what it means?"
It seems that not only Luo Zhengdao felt confused, but also the predecessor Aragami, under his unceremonious repeated questioning, the Aragami with a bird's head blinked and said:
"Well, only when we reach the state of deep integration can we know the final answer, and it is impossible to know in advance before we meet the conditions."
"What's that order?"
"Bridge!"
When he heard this, Luo Zhengdao suddenly felt a wave of swelling pain and tightness, and he realized that there was not much time left for him, not only because the world fusion could go wrong at any time, and he could only be sure to calm the disaster by starting early, but also because his body could not withstand the tremendous pressure of the complete divine soul. The genuine card master may not care about this level of threat, but he is not a real card master, when reading the memory of the desolate god, Luo Zhengdao has clearly understood this, he is definitely a pit, and the inheritance of the card master obtained earlier is an incomplete inferior product.
There is no doubt that in the face of the cruelty of fate, you must have a courage beyond ordinary people, and now Luo Zhengdao hopes that he can have this extraordinary courage.
I can't tell when my body will collapse completely, with the strong spiritual power that he has cultivated over the years, Luo Zhengdao can figure out the situation by glancing at himself a little, okay! Optimistically estimating that his remaining life can be counted in minutes, now it is nothing more than a question of how to deal with the aftermath.
Luo Zhengdao, who switched back to normal from the mysterious state of reminiscence and returned to human form, looked tired, he ignored Hawking watching from the side, and muttered:
"Damn, no wonder Aragami hates the Demon Card Master to that extent, and if they die, they have to drag them into the water, these guys are too infuriating."
Listening to Luo Zhengdao's complaints, Hawking's brows moved and he didn't say anything, no amount of resentment is useless now, the only thing to do is to avoid the worst of all possibilities from turning into reality, for either side.
"O bridge! Let me take on this responsibility! β
With limited life and unlimited responsibility, this kind of arduous test is something that the individual will not like, but there is no trick to really spread it on the head. Now, Luo Zhengdao can only choose between waiting for death and struggling to complete this crucial step, it is true to say that it is very difficult to sacrifice himself, but it seems that he can't be too sorry in terms of exerting his residual heat, this is his basic idea.
"Buzz Buzz ......"
Hawking, the magic card master, watched Luo Zhengdao's every move from the sidelines throughout the whole process, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said:
"It's getting started!"
Even if you think about it with your knees, you can know that the process of merging the two worlds is far more dangerous than the merger of two companies, and the failure of enterprise mergers and acquisitions is nothing more than everyone scattering and going their own way, and the consequences of the failure of world integration are not so simple, and the conflict of the laws of different worlds will be fatal. For example, in a world, under standard atmospheric pressure, the boiling point of CO2 without impurities is 100 degrees Celsius, and the other is 50 degrees Celsius, don't be naΓ―ve to think that after fusion, it will become 75 degrees Celsius and the water will start to boil.
It doesn't matter whether Luo Zhengdao, who was driven to the shelves, is willing or not, there is only one way out left in front of him, he took a few deep breaths to calm his mind, and Luo Zhengdao, who transformed into a werewolf form, said in a strange language:
"Final Instruction Initiated...... Bridge! β
................................................................
"Boom-"
In an instant, the sun, which has been steadily emitting light and heat for hundreds of millions of years, burst out thousands of times brighter, like a supernova explosion, and the human beings living on the earth have not noticed this vicissitudes of life at all, and a mysterious thin substance fills the gravityless space to filter this light below the safety threshold. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and the rest of the dark planets beyond the reach of humans are all undergoing some kind of unspeakable and bizarre metamorphosis at this moment.
In the main material realm, goblins and humans looked up at the pale purple sky in fear, and the timid knelt down to pray to the gods, but they did not know that at this time, even the gods themselves could not be protected, and the crumbling kingdom of God was like a flat boat in a storm, struggling not to be swallowed up by the stormy waves.
There have been many people who have said that the Earth is just a mediocre rocky planet in the vast universe, but this is only half true, and this was true before the Aragami decided to choose it as the benchmark coordinate for the convergence of the worlds. However, when the two worlds began the irreversible process of merging, and the magicians worked hard to find the surviving Aragami on Earth to clean up the aftermath of the tragic route divergence war, the tiny Earth was no longer an ordinary planet.
When the change entered the climax stage, as the fog that blocked the view dissipated, it was suddenly found that something strange happened in the sky, and the people living on the earth fell into a state of extreme chaos.
"Look!"
"What's that?"
"Oh my God!"
"The aliens are coming! Hurry up and call the police! β
"Oh God! Forgive my soul. β
People of all colors and languages are now in a state of panic dealing with a strange phenomenon that they have never seen before in their lives, and this confusion is an inevitable consequence, because chaos is the common feature of all major changes, and it is an indisputable logical corollary that the disruption of stability inevitably brings chaos. There has never been a bloodless revolution or a costless innovation in the world, and the progress and changes of human society are still going to the point of bloodshed.
"Those stars are getting bigger, no, they're getting closer to Earth, it's not scientific!"
The staff on duty at the observatory spied on the changes in the air through professional instruments, even if they let out a howl of defeat dogs, they could not stop the vicissitudes of the real world, only theory gave way to reality, and never saw the truth that reality changed for theory, unless extraordinary power was used. Of course, if you don't have this power...... Then keep wailing!
The matter of world integration is very complicated to say, and it is quite simple to say simple things, just as the truth is often concise and clear, and from the analysis of appearances, ordinary people can also speak one, two, three.
After the spectacle of seeing the stars in the daytime on the daytime on the daytime on the earth, more and more unscientific scenes are being staged, and people who look up at the sky can see countless images floating in the sky, including exotic cities, villages, mountains and rivers, and strange-looking humanoid races. In the dark night sky on the other side of the earth, billions of stars are shining a hundred times brighter than usual, constantly changing and moving their positions, this is so grand that it is even more terrifying than the legendary end of the world.
Luo Zhengdao, who was in a state of confusion, didn't know what kind of state he was, it seemed to exist, and it didn't seem to exist. His perception expanded beyond human perception, and even when he scanned the endless starlight around him above the earth, he could clearly determine which ones were real and which were phantoms that had long since perished in the endless years.
....................................................................
"The bridge has been built."
A pair of wolf eyes flashed with a misty light, Luo Zhengdao's performance at this time was as if he hadn't woken up, and Hawking, who was watching the excitement, was extremely excited, and shouted loudly:
"Congratulations, my friend, for your success, both as Aragami and as a card master."
Glancing at him tiredly, Luo Zhengdao said slackly:
"Really? I feel like I'm being taken advantage of by you. β
"Hahahaha, you can refuse me."
"Yes, I can say no, but I don't want to see that kind of disaster befall my home and loved ones."
Although Luo Zhengdao showed an unfriendly attitude of cooperation, this did not cause Hawking to be dissatisfied, perhaps in the eyes of the magic card master, actual actions are more important than words, he smiled and said:
"Listen to me, we don't have much time left, just sit down and have a drink, what kind of wine does Your Majesty like?"
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao looked at Hawking with resentment in his eyes and said:
ββ¦β¦ I heard that the 82-year-old Lafite was good, but I didn't have a chance to taste it. β
"No problem."
After two clicks of his fingers, Luo Zhengdao, who had regained his human form, appeared in a spacious wine cellar with Hawking, struggling to get up from his wheelchair, and his hands trembled slightly as he took a sip of red wine from the wine shelf next to him. Then, with a slight stroke of his fingers, the wine bottle and wine turned into two glasses of red wine, which did not involve the change of the nature of the substance, only changed the external state of the substance, this small method was not very difficult for Luo Zhengdao, who was familiar with alchemy, he took the wine glass and took a sip of it disapprovingly, and then frowned and said:
"Oh, the taste is so astringent, how could Westerners like this?"
Smiling like an old fox who had successfully stolen chickens, Hawking held his wine glass and said:
"Hehehehe, I guess you won't like it either."
"What will the world end up like?"
"I don't know."
"Really?"
Luo Zhengdao's sharp gaze fell on Hawking, and he was uncomfortable, so the old magic card master shrugged his shoulders and said:
"This plan was formulated by you Aragami, we only changed it a little, what will be the result, I don't know more than you."
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao was silent for a moment and said:
"Is that going to get better, or is it going to get worse?"
The corners of Hawking's mouth twitched twice, as if trying to express his joy, and replied:
"Theoretically, there is a 50% chance of each, but change is inevitable, and the world will be very different from what we once knew."
Sighing, Luo Zhengdao raised his glass and said:
"Alright! A new era will always come. β
Glancing at Luo Zhengdao deeply, the smile on Hawking's face seemed to have a deep meaning, and he also raised his glass and said:
"May we welcome new hope and life in the new era, cheers!"
Feeling the ubiquitous tearing pain of the flesh and the will that may be dissipated at any time, Luo Zhengdao drank this glass of wine with a wry smile, this may be the last glass of wine in his life!
.......................................................................
"It's ......"
Suddenly being touched, Luo Zhengdao opened his eyes suddenly, and everything in front of him appeared in disbelief, and he didn't know what to say.
"Welcome back, my old friend."
In front of him is a terrifying scene comparable to the night walk of a hundred ghosts, the guy who took the initiative to come forward to greet him, Luo Zhengdao looked very familiar, but the shape of the crocodile head of the human body was really a little scary, but the other party's attitude was quite friendly and eager, and the crocodile head patted Luo Zhengdao's shoulder vigorously to show affection. Luo Zhengdao, who was in the form of a werewolf, subconsciously looked down, and only then did he notice that he was wrapped in a graceful and luxurious dark purple robe, decorated with various gems and intricate gold and silver thread embroidery patterns. Around Luo Zhengdao is a group of strange aliens that can be described as well-dressed beasts, most of the bodies are humanoid, and the heads have birds, beasts, fish, flowers and trees, in short, except for pure-blooded humans who can't see it at all, any other strange species can be seen.
Not long ago, after reading the memory of the Aragami after the fusion of the divine soul, Luo Zhengdao still remembered that these guys were not the Aragami family that should have died a long time ago? Why did they run out alive again?
"Is this the world of the dead?"
Hearing Luo Zhengdao talking to himself there, the crocodile head laughed so much that tears were about to flow out, and he said loudly:
"Hahahaha, why do you think so, the Pure Land of Bliss is our last hole card, and the world of death doesn't have such a good scenery!"
Indeed, to a certain extent, Luo Zhengdao as a human no longer exists, his body disintegrated into countless microparticles under the oppression of the powerful divine soul, and his soul reunited with the two parts that had been split earlier, and at this moment he was neither a pure aragod nor a human being, but some kind of transcendent existence outside of common sense.
Realizing his situation, Luo Zhengdao glanced around with a blank expression and said:
"What happened to the main material realm?"
"Hahahaha, there is not only one main material realm in the fused world, you can come and see."
With a wave of the crocodile's head, several similar but slightly different real-time images appeared in front of Luo Zhengdao's eyes, and he stared at these familiar and completely unfamiliar pictures, overlooking the joys and sorrows of all beings. After a long time, Luo Zhengdao barely recognized that these were the major planets of the solar system that had changed greatly, and he said with a shocked face:
"Is this the result of the merging of two worlds?"
The crocodile head was not polite at all, and said with a bit of ostentatious expression in his tone:
"Yes, our plan is perfect, except for those bastard magic card masters who come out to stir up the situation, everything else is in the plan."
Luo Zhengdao thought about it seriously and continued:
"And what do we get?"
As soon as he heard this, the crocodile head squeezed his eyebrows at Luo Zhengdao and said:
"O favor of the world! Hey man, did you forget? Don't you feel like you're no longer bound by the power of faith? Yes, we are free, we are no longer gods in the service of the world, we can act as we please, and we don't have to worry about that damn faith all day long......"
At this time, listening attentively to the crocodile-headed Aragami's almost crazy confession, Luo Zhengdao finally couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face. It turns out that the ultimate goal of the Aragami struggle is just to regain the lost freedom, and this is really an interesting story full of black humor! Now that the Aragami have fulfilled their wishes, where does he go from here? Scanning at the more than a dozen large and small planets and moons that are undergoing vicissitudes of life, and looking at those planets that were once dead and silent, but now prosperous, Luo Zhengdao fell into a long thought. The path of life lies in choice, and having the right to make choices is true freedom, and the happiness that is given is unreliable, and he has long understood this.
"Hey guys, I have a new plan!"
The crocodile-headed Aragami danced to attract the attention of others, and when the Aragami who were present at the feast and celebration heard this, they shouted loudly as if jokingly:
"Tell me about it."
"Sobek, what's your idea again?"
Like a stage actor, with his arms outstretched in an extremely exaggerated manner, the crocodile jumped on the table with its head and said loudly:
"Don't you want to see what the other crystalline worlds are like? Let's hit the road together! It's been a long time since I've had a chance to see a new world, and I can't help but cry. β
"New trip! A new trip! β
In a warm atmosphere of cheering, the crocodile-headed Aragami who was called Sobek by his companions turned to Luo Zhengdao and greeted him very warmly:
"Hey, Abydos, are you coming too?"
He had never been called this name that belonged to the Aragami, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but pause, he didn't feel that he was very familiar with the Aragami, and the other party didn't care what he thought. The Aragami are a powerful crossover group united by the same interests and hobbies, and for those who like to explore new things, force is used as an aid to ensure a safe and smooth trip, not the ultimate goal.
After hesitating for a moment, Luo Zhengdao shook his head and said:
"Me? No, I want to go home. β
Hearing this, Sobek, the crocodile-head, opened his mouth wide in surprise and said:
"Oh man, that's a wonderful idea. It's okay, when you want to participate, come to us with this sign. β
The dusty memories that gradually flooded in the depths of his mind clearly told Luo Zhengdao that the Aragami were not the natives born in the New World, or even from the same world, but a group of adventurous heterogeneous clubs.
Traveling in groups to different crystal wall systems, looking for new things that have never been seen before, this is the value of existence and the goal of life that these adventurers consider. Before stepping into the New World, these unfortunate bastards have just been trapped by a world that is about to be destroyed, and they are forced to use certain forbidden means to help them escape during this dangerous escape. So, the rest of the story is a bit sad, the devastated travelers have just arrived in the New World and need a lot of resources to recover themselves, so they have to sell themselves to the world consciousness, and serve the world for a long time in exchange for the right to recuperate here.
Since they did not become gods of their own volition, they disdained to call themselves gods, but instead called themselves Aragami, which means gods from the wilderness outside the territory.
The unprecedentedly grand world fusion plan formulated by the Aragami is essentially an important bargaining chip they use to trade with the world consciousness to redeem themselves, and they can do whatever it takes to regain their freedom and free themselves from the shackles, and even fight to the death with the mysterious and powerful card masters.
It should be said that the plan itself is extremely perfect, the only flaw is that the Aragami underestimate the combat power of the Demon Card Master camp, but fortunately, they are not completely unprepared. Affected by the threat of the curse of the Aragami and the subsequent advancement of the world fusion plan, forcing the opponent to put down his body to cooperate with the plan, Luo Zhengdao, the special existence of the trinity, is more like a compromise product under the tacit understanding of the two sides.
Recalling the perspective switching and logical speculation of three different memories entangled, a smile appeared on the corner of Luo Zhengdao's mouth, and finally he no longer had to carry those heavy things that made it difficult to breathe, but for some reason, there was a lingering melancholy in his heart.
The crocodile head Sobek no longer pestered Luo Zhengdao, and shouted loudly to the Aragami:
"Guys, the great expedition is about to begin again, and hopefully this time we won't be trapped in some hapless world for a long, long time, I'm tired of it."
"Hey, how do I get to Earth?"
Luo Zhengdao's question surprised the crocodile head, and then he shook his head, stretched out his right hand and said:
"Man, I'll send you there!"
"Click!"
.....................................................................
The hustle and bustle of the city streets, the bustling crowds, and even the familiar haze in the sky, everything is the same as what he once remembered, and the bustling scene presented in front of him made Luo Zhengdao feel overwhelmed.
"Boy, what do you see, haven't you ever seen a handsome guy?"
Luo Zhengdao looked in one direction in a daze for a long time, mistakenly thinking that he was being targeted by his friends, and the motorcycle young man who took off his helmet in a frenzy showed a full head of brilliant blonde hair, and his violet-like eyes without the boundaries of whites and pupils revealed the origin of his bloodline.
Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled awkwardly under the strange gazes of passers-by, and wisely chose to turn around and walk away. The deep fusion of the old and new worlds has indeed changed a lot of things that he is accustomed to, and situations like this that are impossible in his memory can be known by just looking at the passers-by who are not surprised by it.
In a trendy clothing store on the street, two elf girls with dark green hair are happily playing selfies with their mobile phones. The traffic policeman who was directing the traffic order at the sentry box at the corner of the street, and his slightly pointed ears under the big-brimmed hat told others that he was a half-elf. Yellow warning signs were erected, and the sewer manhole cover was uncovered for maintenance, and the worker was wearing a yellow hard hat, short and chubby, with a large beard on his chin, and was obviously a dwarf. Of course, there are more people in the surrounding street markets who are as ordinary human beings as Luo Zhengdao remembers, and everyone seems to have forgotten how incredible this scene is, as if they have lived in such a social environment where humans and aliens are mixed in their lifetime, and no one is surprised by this.
On the huge screen scrolling through the news and advertisements on the side of the street, scenes that Luo Zhengdao did not expect were presented one after another, making him feel like he was falling into a cloud.
Standing behind a four-inch-thick bulletproof glass to give a speech to an audience, Gorde Needham with a grim look on his face caught a big fish from the stream shirtless. Modo Blackwater stood in front of a flag with a blue six-pointed star on a white ground, waving his fist in an emotional manner, as if to announce some important decision, with the headline "Land-for-peace plan stalled, Israeli prime minister says there is no possibility of an agreement". The grand wedding motorvoy stopped in front of the church, and the queen Yaling still looked like she looked like her grandchildren and granddaughter-in-law as she walked into the church, and she looked more like a generation with her grandchildren.
The scenes where absurdity and reality are intertwined, those faces that were once familiar but have now become unfamiliar, feeling the strange taste of everyone in the world being drunk and waking up alone, really makes Luo Zhengdao uncomfortable. Trying to calm down, he walked through the familiar streets and alleys, and when he came to the silhouette of the familiar building in his memory, Luo Zhengdao looked up at the rows of trees
