A large amount of containment flew towards the Essentia Tree.

One of them, with its glittering sword, flew extremely fast, first circling the essentia tree, slashing away all the vines that bound the townspeople, and then turning into a large net below, catching all the fallen residents.

Nola: ..................

This long sword feels a little familiar, huh?

"What's that?" Bishop Chino in the monitoring room also got up and asked, his expression extremely ugly.

What about showing the destructiveness of containment? What the hell are you sheltering to save people?

"That's the containment of the demigods of the Law of Will." The priest quickly called up the attribute window, and after checking it, replied, "According to the design, the virtual personality of this containment is kind and orderly. ”

"What kindness and order!" Bishop Chino flew into a rage, "Hurry up and let it attack the Essentia Tree!! ”

In the Hearthfire Island, Mi'er sat on a wicker chair by the lake, quietly looking at the lake.

"Their modifications to the containment were discovered." In the watch made of the Fruit of Eden that she was wearing in her right hand, Raphael's voice suddenly rang out, "I can't do any more extra movements, or I'm likely to be monitored by the body." ”

"Well, so be it." The half-elf girl nodded.

"At this time, Nora was already suspicious." Raphael continued, "She has realized that the Holy See is deliberately showing her how the people of the 'Azure Sword' mercenary group will cause damage to the world around them if they fall uncontrollably after becoming demigods. ”

"Of course, an uncontrolled fall is an objective risk. We don't have to hide it. "But at least we need to break the stereotypes and narrow prejudices that the Holy See is trying to impose on her. ”

"A transcendent being, even though he may endanger society after death, can save more people during his lifetime. Whether it is an objective existence or a subjective liking or dislike of the world, there is no way to simply characterize it......"

“…… After all, we are highly complex human beings with minds. ”

"It's Eleanor!" In the script on the other side, Nora finally realizes the familiarity of the flying sword - isn't that something Eleanor would do?

So, all the containment objects in this script were left behind by our teammates after they were promoted to demigods and fell?

The dark veil, Peggy's corresponding to the law of death; Mobile battlefield, corresponding to the laws of war; Puppet theater, corresponding to the law of manipulation of Medea.

And the essentia tree of the law of evolution corresponds to......

…… Myself.

Asker sat on the edge of the steps outside the church, watching some pigeons walk around in front of him, rummaging for the gravel on the ground.

After the transformation of the Spirit Tree ended, not only did the citizens of Solomon City return to normal, but even the birds began to move again.

A few fat pigeons staggered over to Asker's side, tilting their heads to stare at him.

Asker looked at them with a blank expression.

The two sides looked at each other for a moment before Aske silently reached into his arms.

Pulled out a bag of small bread.

Tearing the bread into crumbs, he sprinkled the crumbs on the ground, and the pigeons pecked with their heads down.

"I'm back." Nola's voice sounded behind him, and her tone seemed to be a little tired.

"Success?" Asker asked.

"Hmm." Nora reached out and grabbed a fat pigeon. The pigeon struggled, and when he found that he did not have enough strength, he gave up and tilted his head to look at her.

Taking the crumbs from Asker's hand, Nora took a little and put it to its mouth, and the pigeon took it in its beak, then raised its throat and ate it tremblingly.

"So, what is the ritual mission you sensed?" Asker asked casually.

Nola's movements stiffened, and then she slowly lowered the pigeon to the ground.

The pigeon spread its wings and flew away as quickly as it had survived.

"You want me to transform a portion of essentia from the Essentia tree." Nora concluded.

"Transformation?" Asker asked, uncertain.

"The essentia secreted by the essentia tree has an occult connection with itself." Nora replied in a low voice, "When any life is infected with essentia into green skin, that life form is bound to the Essentia tree. ”

"Once the greenskin dies, its vitality will not escape, but will return to the Essentia Tree and be absorbed by it."

"So, you need to transform a essentia." Asker immediately understood, "Change the binding object of essentia from the essentia tree to yourself." This way you can have the ability to infect and evolve the Essentia Tree. ”

"Asker......" Nora slowly rested her head on his shoulder.

"I don't want to go any further." She whispered, "I don't want to be transcendent. ”

Asker was silent for a long time.

"Okay." He said.

Nora looked up at him in amazement.

"Won't you stop me?"

"If you have already strengthened your determination to quit, then it is useless for me to dissuade you." Asker analyzed, "On the other hand, if you are just talking angry, then if I try to dissuade you, won't it arouse your rebellious mentality?" ”

"No, it's not." Nora shook her head, "I might be ...... to other people's dissuasion."

"But you're different." She looked at Asker seriously, "Your ideas are of utmost importance to me. Asker ...... If you say you want me to stay with you, I might change my mind. ”

Asker immediately felt a great deal of pressure. Of course, he understood what Nora meant, and he could even see his own reflection in the other party's amber eyes...... Nola's big eyes didn't blink, and they were full of reflections of herself.

"Can you tell me why you want to quit?" Finally he asked.

"I don't want to die like a monster like the Essentia Tree." Nora replied crisply.

Asker was speechless. When a demigod dies, a wide range of mutations and distorted properties remain...... It's a setting, it's a setting!

You said you don't like this setting, and I can't help it? Can I still catch the game company and change the setting?

However, after all, Asker has been the captain of the team for many years, and he is well versed in various logical sophistry principles such as "stealing concepts" and "pointing a deer as a horse", so he tried to appease Nora as if he had been doing the ideological work of his teammates before, and said:

"Nola, I don't know if you've ever heard a word?"

"What?" Nora was curious.

"In the long run, we will all die." Asker said.

This is the famous quote of the economist John Maynard Keynes against the classicals, which means that "there is little point in focusing on the long term".

Nora probably hadn't heard of this sentence, so she chewed on the philosophy carefully.

"It's a fact that demigod transcendents will change after they fall." Seeing her contemplative expression, Aske immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, "However, this does not mean that the transcendent are harmful in this world. ”

"While alive, being transcendent gives us greater power to transform the world more efficiently. As for the harm caused by the posthumous mutation, it can also be reduced by some means. ”

"For example, wouldn't it be okay to entrust a companion who is also a transcendent to suppress the mutation after his death?"

"But this one is uncontrollable." Nora smiled bitterly and said, "I'm dead, how do I know if the mutation that occurred after my fall has been successfully suppressed?" ”

"You don't need to know." Seeing that "the concept was successfully swapped", the other party's attention had shifted from "demigods will become monsters after death" to "how to avoid harm after death", so he explained with a smile, "Because this is not something you need to care about." ”

"How many similar mutations have been quelled since the formation of our mercenary group? The fall of the previous generation of transcendents will naturally have the next generation of transcendents responsible for cleaning up. ”

"What's more, since you will have a long lifespan after becoming a demigod, you don't have to worry about falling in the near future, so that the tipping point of the crisis will be postponed, and the scientific and technological level of the Holy See is constantly rising." "Perhaps in the distant future, the Holy See has solved the problem of the demigods' fall causing anomalies. ”

"And what we have to do is to keep upgrading to extend our lifespan and reduce the risk of early fall and mutation, isn't it?"

"Yes." Nora pondered for a moment, and had to admit that she was once again convinced, "You're right. ”
