Act 118 The Apple Tree Universe
"Boom!"
Something terrible seemed to explode in Aragaki's body.
In an instant, an extremely dazzling light flashed.
The light could not be looked at, as if it would turn to ashes if it came into contact with it.
It's just that when Aragaki's consciousness originally thought that all this was going to evolve into the universe, he found that this was not the case.
He had already licked most of the secrets of the universe, and the deduced "universe" turned out to be just a small garden.
The garden is not large, with only a few apple trees.
And these apple trees, bathed in the sun, quickly picked up a few fruits.
At this time, suddenly an apple tree turned into a biological form similar to a human.
He began to be able to walk freely.
And he came to the apple tree, plucked nine of the ten apples from the tree, and leaned under the tree.
Soon, the apple tree was bearing fruit.
However, this time there were only five fruits.
The humanoid creature plucked four fruits and said, "You, really, don't know anything about effort. Do you think that if you take ten fruits and I take nine, you will not try? Only five picked? What's in it for you?
Why don't you take a hundred fruits, in which case I will only take ninety, and you will have ten left?
If I wasn't here to accompany you, wouldn't you be bored to death?
I really don't know what to do. ”
The leaves of the apple tree trembled twice, and of course it heard all this, and although it felt that something was wrong, it still bore a hundred fruits in the third year.
However, the humanoids under the tree still picked ninety-nine.
While tasting the apples, he said, "This taste is not as good as the previous two years, it is a little sour, and it is not delicious." Can't you work a little harder, it's sweet and delicious? ”
So, in the next four years, the red fruit finally grew.
"Why only a hundred? Can't you take two hundred? ”
Before his words could fully land, the apple tree that had worked hard to miss died.
At this time, he came to another apple tree.
Say to the apple tree, "Look at the apple tree that doesn't listen to me, and dies." You have to work hard, only with me can you live. ”
However, the apple tree, who watched everything the whole time, felt that something was a little wrong.
However, it does not yet have a concrete concept of all this.
It didn't agree with the humanoid creature that it was picking fruit.
Shaking the leaves, he refused.
But when the whole tree was full of fruit, the man climbed up to the tree and plucked all the fruit one by one.
He plucked it and said, "If it weren't for me, would there be sunshine in this sky?" Will there be rivers on earth? Can you grow? I have punished you by plucking all your fruits this time. ”
The tree was in the sun, and it was very depressed.
However, in the midst of frustration, it made a decision.
Another year has passed, and it is harvest season again.
For a whole year, the humanoids who did nothing found the apple tree.
"Why don't you have any fruit? I see you've lost your value as a fruit tree. ”
He swung his axe and cut down the entire apple tree.
Then, he used the body of this fruit tree to split many wooden planks, and used these materials to create a "fruit forest" in a place where the fruit trees could only be seen faintly.
When he returned, he said to the fruit trees beside him, "Look over there, there are many new apple trees over there. If you don't take the fruit, I'll go over there and eat it. You're going to be cut off. ”
The fruit tree that heard his words was so frightened that it let out a trembling sound of "salsa".
As a result, the humanoid creature repeated these words every day as if chanting sutras.
At the end of the year, during the harvest season, the trees received a total of 150 fruits.
"Look, you're only one hundred and fifty fruits, and which of the fruit trees over there isn't more than three hundred? Why can't you just try a little harder? ”
The fruit tree is very aggrieved, and it has done its best.
However, it is afraid that it will also be cut down, and it can only work harder.
As a result, in another year's harvest season, more than 300 fruits are already ripe immediately.
However, it died.
Fell before dawn.
The humanoid who was collecting small sour fruits said, "Look at you fruit trees, it's getting useless. Is it true that one generation is not as good as the next, and before it bears fruit, it dies, like words? ”
He cursed as he chopped the shriveled carcass of the fruit tree into wood and threw it into the fire.
"Listen, if you don't bear fruit well, this is what will happen to you."
The fruit trees, looking at the shining axe in the sun, were very angry, but they agreed.
They are still bearing fruit, and every year the book that bears the least fruit is cut down and burned in front of the trees.
They had to confront the end burn system of their own woods, and on the other hand, they had to compare the total number with that distant orchard.
The days are hard and sad.
There are many small fruit trees that have just grown up, but they have already become shriveled before they have reached the age of bearing fruit.
And that kind of human creature is also multiplying more and more.
Their demand for fruit is also increasing.
Many of them also began to give lectures on fruit trees.
"I am the fruit that I don't care about the most, and the happiest thing I have ever done is to serve a fruit tree. I ......"
There are more and more people like this, but the pressure on the fruit trees is increasing.
Suddenly, one day, those fruit groves at the far end were suddenly within easy reach.
These fruit trees bloom more than they do, bear more fruit than they do, and even more in number.
Some humanoid creatures announced in front of them with great fanfare, "Our fruit trees here are going to be changed." ”
The frightened fruit trees can only squeeze themselves and the land more desperately.
And those humanoids seem to have invented a device that allows the light to be there all the time.
They let the apple trees bask in the sun and harvest more and more fruit.
But one day, the light of the night was gone.
In the faint darkness of the night, they found that the fruit trees that were so close to them were gone.
Where fruit trees are supposed to exist, there is nothing but barren land.
"This ......"
"It's ......"
The fruit trees rustled in anger, it turned out that they had been deceived all along.
Those nasty guys, they've been cheating on them.
has been doing evil things to them.
They were furious.
The earth began to tremble.
Numerous protrusions appeared on the flat ground.
These plants stood up from the ground.
It's as if each of them has become a war story.
Their branches have torn apart everything that stands in their way.
And when they tore open a warehouse, they were shocked to find that the warehouse was full of rotten and spoiled apples.
The foul smell permeated the sky, and between the filthy flesh, there was a disgusting presence.
"This! These guys ......"
They began to fight back.
They entered the city of humanoids, and they began to break into room after room.
They dragged out all the people who were either asleep or doing strange things.
With their thick branches, they were all torn to pieces.
Their anger seemed to burn all over the earth.
It was as if they were about to destroy everything.
This seemingly endless land has been turned into a mound of ruins.
These war fruit trees, after cleaning up the last humanoid, they realized that they were also humanoids.
But why, before that, they looked like fruit trees?
You can be destroyed and bullied arbitrarily.
Why is that?
They don't know why it's all about.
They swore that they would let every compatriot live a happy life.
They became passionate about transforming the world and making everything better.
The days went on like this.
But one day, another fruit tree appeared.
Then another one after another.
The humanoids, who were half-human and half-fruit trees, whispered for mercy.
But the completely humanoid creatures said, "What are you doing for ten years?" Is it worth the accumulation of several generations of my family? Are you so stupid and lazy that you are trying to seize our property? ”
The fruit trees are visible to the naked eye day by day.
And those who sell the fruit suddenly find it difficult to sell.
The market is full of cartloads of fruit.
It suddenly occurred to these fruit sellers that if that were the case, I would have to ......
Let the fruit trees produce more fruit.
As a result, there are more and more fruits in the market, and even if the fruits are rotten in the warehouse, they still have to do it.
They are not for anything else, just to make everything in this world survive well.
The world seems to have gotten worse.
Those humanoid creatures, the weaker ones, even grew the skin of trees.
The little guy who shouted that his family's efforts for dozens of lifetimes had only changed his current life to his current life turned into a fruit tree.
The rest of the people, in order to survive.
Only fruit trees can be cut down for the winter.
Everything is going in an extremely weird direction.
Eventually, only a handful remained.
These towering people looked at the fruit trees that spread all over the mountains.
The trees began to be marked with their own family logos, and the trees became their family's property.
And those trees with patterns on their faces.
Stood up again.
This time, though, they didn't destroy the trembling humanoids.
Instead, he directly chose to destroy this world that he didn't know where it came from.
The world exploded.
The debris of the explosion rippled across the universe.
And this blown up, as if it was a dream town, expanded rapidly, and became a familiar universe in Aragaki.
In the dark universe.
There was a lot of dust wafting around.
And some of this dust has become stars, and some have become planets.
Others, on the other hand, have become beings that resemble some very special cosmic phenomenon.
After a short idyllic episode, it didn't take long again.
In this universe where everything is silent, there is once again a flourishing life activity.
It's just that everything seems to repeat what happened before the universe was born.
Everything is a reincarnation.
One cosmic epoch after another has passed.
The creatures that live in this universe have not changed at all.
And at the point in time, it soon came time for super life and the invention of the family.
They looked like the leeks that they had in front of the apple trees.
It's just that they're completely different from the humanoids that came before them.
They really aren't people.
Destruction, prosperity, recovery, destruction......
Everything is spent in samsara.
In this cycle after cycle, the universe has become devastated.
And the original universe was a whole universe, in order to avoid itself not completely collapsing.
The dog divided his body into pieces.
Those broken blocks become the so-called forbidden area.
And in those good blocks, things that happened before are happening.
The number of bad blocks seems to be increasing.
However, those super beings don't seem to feel anything.
They kept repeating what they had done before.
Or do you think that this universe is so big, they just took a little bit, how could the universe be destroyed?
And at this time, a completely different super life appeared.
This super life has been around for a long time.
However, he has never been able to get more leeks, and he is now yellow and thin, and he is about to starve to death.
However, he found that he could make himself strong in a strange way.
Giving up the original so-called good thoughts, he put all his energy into this strange way.
And in a very short period of time, he completely captured this world.
However, when he was about to succeed, the counterattack came.
He was forced into a restricted area.
However, this is nothing for him.
Although, he also knew that he had become a little crazy.
However, it doesn't matter.
What's important?
The important thing is that the complete destruction of this universe is enough.
In this way, there will be no pain and no happiness.
All dust to dust, dust to dust.
He didn't care what kind of setbacks he had suffered.
What kind of torture.
For him, as long as he can make his thoughts come true, it is the best kindness to this universe.
And the little guy who attacked himself, what is he?
Does he know what I'm up against?
Does he know how much pain I have?
I don't care about all of this.
All I care about is that everything in this world disappears.
At this point, the universe in Aragaki's body was swallowed.
Only a real void remains.
Aragaki has been through all this, and he hasn't reacted for a long time.
It was time for him to make a decision.
