Chapter 357: The World and the Truth
My name is Akatosh,
It suddenly occurred to me that there was an avatar under the mage academy......
β¦β¦ Use it.

"As long as it's alive, even the demon god will kill youβcan I learn like it?" Sapphire gestured at the "King Sgrammer" with a big razor: "Damn, why didn't I come up with it first if I was so handsome, this dagger that can kill everything is obviously the first thing I had." β
"However, that's little Amy's bloodline ability, you can go to 'Akai' and ask if you can blend in with the Septin family." Xiao Annoy, as always, complained in seconds.
"This ...... The ......" Illya looked nervously at the black-armored giant who stood up, the magic fluctuating up and down on his body, as if he was about to attack on his own.
ββ¦β¦ Calm down and see what Arthur has to say. Princess Emilia took a bite of a doughnut out of nowhere, then threw the other into Sophie's mouth, who was staring at her.
What do you want him to say? Forbidden to slap feeding?
Arthur retracted his gaze rather helplessly and looked at the "King Sgrammer" who had just made the declaration of "stupid mortals": "Excuse me, what do you mean?" β
You look like you've turned to ashes, so do you want a fight?
"The main outward manifestation of mortal stupidity is the inability to correctly judge the consequences of one's actions. The "King Sgrammer" said, "[By the time you step here, things have become irreparable. γβ
"Irretrievable? What does it mean? Ladia asked.
"[Oh, yes, if you weren't such a character, I wouldn't have given you 'Witch Slade' and 'Sgrammer's Shield'. "King Sgrammer" glanced at Arthur's sword and Ladia's shield from behind his helmet, and nodded slowly.
So, the guy who is talking to us is not actually the black "King Sgramer" but the real [Sgramer] deity?
"Would it have made any difference if we had just gone back and cleared the fog and eliminated Alduin?" Arthur asked.
"[You will find that the whole of Songard will instantly become brighter, and there will be no more ruins, ashes, or geys," a slight smile appeared in Sgrammer's voice, "[You will come to Valhalla as heroes who saved the world, and you will be cheered and toasted by countless Heroic Spirits, and all of Nairn will be safe again.] γβ
"And yet?" Arthur spoke the turning word for Him, and he could hear it now, and Sgrammer's "stupidity" meant that they had abandoned the easier path in favor of the more difficult and more responsible path, more akin to a compliment.
"However, the only flame of hope in this world will also be extinguished in your hands," Sgramer stepped down from his throne with his axe, and the heavy "Witch Slade" carved deep furrows in the ground: "[I ask you a question, and I will answer it when I have thought about it. γβ
Arthur exchanged glances with his companions, then nodded, "[Excuse me. γβ
[Let me ask, for thousands of years, why has the world's politics, economy, culture, military, and other things that should be progressing all the time never changed? γβ
ββ¦β¦β
Indeed, not to mention other races, since the first era when humans landed on the continent of Tamariel, the social situation seems to be stereotyped, emperors, kings, lords, subjects; aristocrats, peasants, miners, merchants; Rare books, circulating songs, gossip in taverns; Cavalry, infantry, archers, city walls, siege engines, human beings of all races have been repeating the same life for tens of thousands of years, and the tools unearthed in those ancient ruins are exactly the same as those used by modern people every day, and the most terrifying thing is that before Sgramer said this, everyone was not aware of this terrible fact.
"Huh? Should it change? "Your head does need to change." "No, I don't understand."
was directly pointed out this problem, not only Sophie, but even Babas was thoughtful, but some people still did not understand, it seems that the original selection criteria for "Zela" also included this.
"No, wait, the dwarves did make a difference, they made something that could change the tide of war, and they alsoβ" Arthur remembered the tidal wave of mechanical armies and other equally wonderful inventions that had fallen from the black.
So they disappeared. Sgrammer blocked Arthur's opinion with a single sentence.
"[Perhaps you have heard of the 'Wheel of the World,'" he continued, "[The inner ring is the eight holy spirits incarnated by the eight planets, and the outer ring is the sixteen demon gods in charge of the realm of annihilation, forming a 'ring' around Nain, it is it that controls everything in the world of Nain to remain unchanged, and every time the Holy Spirit or Demon God falls, there will soon be a subordinate existence to fill the vacancy, so it has been running perfectly for thousands of years, and even every era of reincarnation. γβ
"But?" Arthur spoke for him again.
[However, in this era reincarnation, there was an accident. "King Sgrammer" slashed at the void in front of him with an axe, revealing the contents of the "next page" like a torn book.
The big man on the throne was still shining with gold, and Arthur even saw the three warriors with a confused face, which was the real "Valhalla", and it was also the body of [Sgrammer] who was talking to them.
"How's that, doesn't it feel empty? [Sgrammer] asked.
No, it feels like the Immortals can't sit down......
"[According to the experience of countless reincarnations, after the three little ones banished 'Alduin' to this time period, it will enter Songard, absorb all the souls that have arrived here, and eventually transform Songard into your side, we can only be trapped in Valhalla and wait for the 'Last Dragonborn' to rescue,] [Sgrammer] paused, and continued, "[I have to say, Arthur, you are the most handsome dragonborn I have ever seen. γβ
"Huh? Thank you. Arthur subconsciously pressed the tuft of hair on the top of his head.
"However, after Alduin ended his exile and arrived at Valhalla, he was completely unable to absorb any souls, so he had to take out the soul and body left behind by his several deaths," [Sgrammer] pulled the topic back: "[Unfortunately, I am the only one as the 'ancestor of mankind' and the 'most ancient king', and then I connected to this 'self' in consciousness, and only then did I understand what happened. γβ
"Could it be ......," said Arthur, shuddered when he heard "not being able to absorb any soul."
"That's, that's, isn't it?" With a swing of his axe, Sgrammer's field of vision from this side to another Valhalla widened again, revealing a young girl who didn't fit in with Valhalla, as she had no glimmer of gold at all.
She was small and thin, with short black hair, a pale yellow velvet blouse, a short white cape, a dark blue over-the-knee skirt, and strange socks and white cloth shoes.
In Arthur's field of vision, there was a strange red cube floating beside her.
In the next second, the girl seemed to turn around consciously, but before everyone could see her face, the "window" closed directly.
"[As you can see]," Sgramer shrugged as everyone watched together, "[That's 'Akatosh', as the existence of 'Alduin' as one and two, she should have completely ignored her 'devouring world' move, but in this reincarnation, she saved the humans who should have died in various ways, so that 'Alduin' could not be revived at all, so it caused the current situation of 'two Valhalla'. γβ
ββ¦β¦ Oh. "Is that so?" Emilia and Zela, as "all means", are thoughtful.
"So, her purpose?" Arthur asked in a deep voice.
"[As I said before, she has left the choice to you," Sgramer shook his head, "[If you do not enter here and go directly to destroy 'Dragon-Alduin', then this destruction will be terminated, and the mortal world will continue to develop unchanged, until the 'Doomsday Elemental' awakens 'Dragon-Alduin' again. γβ
"Why is there a 'dragon' prefix?" Arthur, whom Alduin called the "Doomsday Elemental," shrunk his neck.
"[If you choose to step into this Valhalla and see 'me', you will start another arrangement preset by Akatosh: to destroy the confinement of the wheel of the world, completely end the cycle of annihilation, and there will be no gods and demons in the world of Nayn in the future, it will belong to mortals, and only to mortals, they can develop freely, and there will be no restrictions in all aspects,] Sgramer pointed to the sky: "[And what you have to face is the real 'God-Alduin'. γβ
Speaking of which, I have indeed heard or witnessed the fall of many demon gods recently, and perhaps the "Dragon of Time" has already done that work in unknown places.
"And what about [Akatosh] himself?" Arthur asked.
"[It's a pity that if the Wheel of the World collapses, maybe we'll be the 'Heroic Spirits' and some good Holy Spirits and Demon Gods who will survive, but she herself will disappear completely, so to speak, she is ready to sacrifice herself when she carries out this plan, and she can be described as the kindest Holy Spirit. Sgramer shook his head, walked back to his throne with his axe, and sat down steadily: "If you like the world now, I can give you a chance, pretend not to come in and see me, turn around and go back to deal with 'Dragon-Alduin', otherwise, attack my body.'" γβ
"Choose. Sgramer left one last sentence, and the green light in the crack of the helmet suddenly turned red.
