Chapter Ninety-Six: The Outside and the World
"Mom!"
Emma recognized it at a glance.
Because it was no different from the mother in my memory.
"Really...... Mom? ā
"Of course."
Caster, who had the appearance of Ysera, smiled and nodded, the same tenderness as her daughter.
"But I can only call me mom like this, and the rest of the appearance is not me. I don't care, the seniors will be angry. ā
"Yes!"
Emma nodded with red eyes.
Then he lost patience and threw himself into Ysera's arms.
"Mommy, Mommy...... Great, really mom. ā
"Good boy." Ysera gently stroked Emma's hair, her face full of love, "To see you again like this, to hold you, I am more grateful than ever to the goddess, to the elves who have always sheltered me, and of course the most grateful is always Riene." ā
Lane touched his nose and didn't speak, his eyes were focused on his toes, not looking anywhere.
Why?
Because it's just too big.
You must know that Emma's figure is inherited from her mother, and at this time, the mother and daughter are hugging each other, which is touching, but after watching it for a long time, it is inevitable that you will move your attention to other places.
The best thing to do is not to look, not to think, and to stop your heart.
Unlike him, Rosai didn't eat this set, and soon came up with a new idea: "Wait, since it's a witch collection, why do you want to take away one-tenth of my spiritual power?" Even if that guy wants to do it, why don't you stop him? ā
"Because it takes a lot of spiritual power to maintain our existence, in addition, several seniors led by the first elder also want to see the level of modern witches, so-"
Speaking of which, Ysera looked at Rosey with a somewhat embarrassed gaze.
"To be honest, at first, because of my grandmother's carelessness, the seniors were very disappointed. However, the performance in the afternoon was not bad, and some face was saved. ā
"I didn't expect that Emma's fancy Ash Initiator would be chosen by that woman."
Rosilia muttered an explanation, then frowned again.
"No, she called Lane Master at the beginning, and said that we would wait for the selection - what is this little ghost's ability to call you Master, and your existence has exceeded the laws of this world, is it 'external reason'?"
"It shouldn't be considered an 'external reason', specifically-"
Isela paused, stroked Emma's hair again, and gently let her go, returning to her appearance as the first Elder.
"āI'll explain."
As an ancient being who has experienced the "Great Collapse" and witnessed the battle between the two treasures and the birth of "Steel", she is definitely the witch who understands the rules of the world most thoroughly.
For a long time, the mainstream perception of the world is that the goddess created this world, created the continent of Semuria, and formulated the "principle", that is, the rules, for the operation of all things.
Although no one has really seen the goddess, with the development of science and technology and the deepening of research, some people have gradually begun to explore the source of truth, and have also discovered some things that go against common sense.
The most famous is to take an airship or ship to constantly move away from the mainland, and after reaching a certain point, you can only circle in the same airspace or sea area.
It's just that this information is hidden by major forces, in addition to the consideration of avoiding subverting common sense and affecting social stability, but also because of the internal disagreements among researchers.
Some people believe that these supernormalities themselves are "miracles" of the goddess, and since she can create rules, she can naturally subvert them, just like "ancient relics" that have not yet been explained.
But there are also some people who doubt the existence of the goddess because of this.
The lighter suspicion of the goddess is not so great and unique, there is still a world beyond the world, and there is still a heaven outside the sky.
A more serious one directly questions whether the goddess exists or not, and the church is the biggest liar. The representative of this is the "Dā“G Order", an oblique religious organization that once ravaged the mainland, which carried out human experiments in an extremely cruel and taboo way, and was finally encircled and suppressed by the Western Continent.
The commander in charge of the joint encirclement and suppression was none other than the S-class guerrilla Cassius Bright at the time, and the association also operated in the shadows, cooperating with the encirclement and suppression, and finally brought down the arrogant order.
Of course, it was difficult for such a huge oblique sect to not have a single fish that slipped through the net, and the order eventually left some remnants lurking in the mountains, seeking to resurrect from the ashes.
The most famous one was exactly two years after Dita Coorois became mayor, and it was also the battle in which the "Special Service Support Section" really made a name for itself, and they successfully solved this major incident.
However, the resolution of the incident, the cruel methods of the oblique religion, do not negate the results of the research.
Many researchers who question the goddess have achieved certain results.
The forbidden drug "Shinchi" of the "Dā“G Order" is said to break the "shackles" set by the goddess and see the reality of the world.
The witches also determined that there was indeed something beyond the world, outside the goddess. Although they are not supporters of anti-ecclesiastism, and there is a certain degree of cooperation with the church, this does not prevent them from researching and exploring.
Their understanding of the nature of the world is extremely deep, so when Emma first saw Makbang's magic sword "Ambar", she was sure that it was not a creation of this world, but an "external reason" from outside the world.
Rossellia also determined that Caster's way of being was not part of the established laws of the world, and it was reasonable to suspect that it was an "external reason".
However, this time, the "Summoning of the Heroic Spirit" system is different.
"At some point, it didn't exist in Semlia, but now it seems to have merged with the rules of the world. Theoretically, as long as the conditions are met, you can summon heroes and celebrities who have names and surnames throughout the ages.
"This is a 'reason' that directly affects the scale of the entire human history, and does not conform to the characteristics of the influence of the 'external reason' on a time and place. According to my guess, it may be a whole new 'rule' made or introduced by the goddess. ā
"The proof is that Rien once came into contact with a mysterious being who was not a goddess, but who also possessed supreme power. That being may be a testament to the fact that 'there are still civilizations and intelligent beings beyond the world', and that the Goddess is not absolutely unique. ā
"I am afraid that the goddess herself has contact with other beings in a dimension unknown to us, learning from each other. My personal view is that this should be defined as a 'new principle', a new law, a new possibility. ā
To ordinary people, these things must be confused, indicating that they don't understand at all, but everyone here is a special existence, and there is no obstacle to discussion.
Emma, Serenu, and Roselia exchanged glances and each nodded:
"It's really the best place to call it."
"Brand new rationale, I see."
"If that's the case, then the so-called 'Heroic Spirit Summoning' should be able to be applied to others, have you done experiments on this?"
Caster shook his head and sighed, "Yes, I've tried, but it didn't work. ā
