Chapter 2 Letters

Shamu opened his eyes, his gaze pierced through the darkness, and he saw the stone pillar with the tip downward.

This is underground, and the stone is mixed with an approximation of the Faded Stone, with a purity of more than 7%, so the depth is greater than 700 meters.

This information flowed through my mind almost subconsciously, and I came to a conclusion.

He sat up awkwardly, moved his shoulders a few times, then stood up and dusted himself off.

He stood quietly for a long time, waiting for his sleeping consciousness to be completely awake before he swept his gaze to the crystal next to him.

All memories were restored, both from the past and even more from the past.

The scholar's gaze was like electricity, and as his thoughts converged on one point, the magic of the entire underground vein began to be extracted, and in the blink of an eye, an elemental ball of uniform color and fullness condensed.

This is also a privilege reserved for legendary mages.

With a wave of his hand, the elemental dissipated.

"Things are going well...... But why can't I keep up......" Shamu muttered, resting his hand on the crystal.

In an instant, a pure white luster bloomed from the crystal, and the momentum startled him.

The light came and went quickly, as if that moment was just an illusion, but the dazzling light still remained on Xia Mu's retina until the two cat girls appeared and woke him up with a loud voice.

"Mr. Shamu."

Alice said crisply, and her voice became joyful because she had seen an acquaintance again.

Xia Mu recognized this as Alice and nodded in response with Mu Yan's usual smile.

They didn't seem to be able to understand what had happened to Xia Mu, and they accepted it as a matter of course.

"That uncle just now has something to give you." Nicole pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket, "Seems to be a letter......

"Open it."

"Yes."

Naturally, the letterhead could not pass through the crystal from her hand to the outside, but was transmitted through the crystal light curtain.

Xia Mu looked up, and when he swept the first line, he was shocked.

"Xia Mu and my friend, seeing words are like meeting"

……

At the same time, Mu Yan was walking through the dark abyss.

The so-called memory erasure is far more painful than the literal one. Human memory does not exist in blocks, it is a mixture of countless people and events, and even if a part is erased, once the things that are closely related to it and have a causal relationship still exist, they can be traced and restored through reasoning...... Therefore, it is impossible to erase a node, it must be a whole.

Especially Mu Yan, who connected the ins and outs of the matter and perfectly formed a whole, which is equivalent to giving up all his memories of "prophecy" and "Kanrosh......

He had never felt such a long "teleportation", nor had he ever felt such hysterical pain.

The people and things in the memory, the originally clear bits and pieces of the moment, slowly became pale, empty, and distant, and the desolation and frustration brought by the emptiness gradually replaced all warm emotions...... It was as if he had returned to Earth, to the cold, smelling hospital bed of disinfectant water, his body in ruins, and his consciousness like a dry riverbed......

Fragments of consciousness flew away, pages replayed in fragments before his eyes, gradually peeled away and faded away, until the letter he left behind at the last moment......

Mu Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth, barely showing a hint of relief.

That guy must have been shocked......

Then, a dragon roar full of anger sounded in his ears, and his consciousness was completely covered by a cold will.

……

"Xia Mu and my friend, seeing words is like meeting."

Shamu woke up from the brink of distraction and continued to look down.

"This letter was written in the heart of the tree in Imotru, and it was written in a hurry, but it doesn't matter, didn't you write that letter casually on the top of the tree?

I've always wanted to have a day when you can also feel the thrill of being killed by your last words. Well...... Although the situation was a little worse than I expected, it was a 'long-cherished wish'. You must have been taken aback when you read this letter, right?

To get back to business, this letter is not a prank, just as your letter pointed me in the next direction, and it is certainly full of my deep and great fatherly love for you.

Actually, I guessed early on that you could be resurrected.

How's that, I didn't expect it!

This conjecture dates back to two years ago, when Roddy was still hopeful of 'spontaneous awakening'. At that time, I thought, since the soul tends to give itself a backup out of the most basic sense of self-preservation, do you also have such a backup?

As a far more powerful and intelligent existence than Rodi, and with me as a 'carrier', it shouldn't be difficult, right?

As for why you were so sure that you even let the Soul Shaper take action to wake you up...... I probably thought of it when you asked Miss Cha Cha to write a letter to reconcile with Judy, I don't think you are the kind of AI that can 'evolve' emotional thinking, and what really prompts you to make this decision is a kind of subconscious that can't be separated, which is the so-called 'backup'.

And, more importantly, what makes me so sure...... It's the 'plan' itself. ”

Seeing this, Xia Mu's eyelids jumped suddenly.

He kept looking......

"Hehe, don't think about it, I mean my 'plan'."

Xia Mu breathed a sigh of relief, but his mood was inexplicably a little bored.

"Does it feel like you've been tricked?"

Xia Mu's tone came up again, but then he smiled self-deprecatingly.

More than anything else, this guy is really more excessive......

"Alright, let's get down to business. In fact, the question that has been bothering me for a long time is how to actually kill a god...... After all, this step cannot be avoided in any case.

I thought about this question for a long time, until I realized that I was being controlled by Alduin, and it suddenly became apparent.

The Destroyer, as the name suggests, is the God-created recycling bin, and the objects of destruction of the worlds naturally include the gods. In other words, he is the only one who can truly kill the gods, and only he has the true 'method'.

But did the Destroyer really master the 'method'?

Even if he was so powerful, he didn't dare to face Ikali alone, only to cower in Niverheim......

If this is a game, the World Destroyer is undoubtedly an NPC that helps the player, and Ikali is the real boss, then does the 'boss' need to be weakened to a certain level before he can appear?

Maybe so, but there is another possibility, and on the other hand, this NPC needs to be strengthened, or Orduin needs to be 'liberated'.

But no matter how you guess, you will come to the conclusion that "the destroyer of the world is afraid of Ikali", and we can naturally think about the reasons for this conclusion.

When we look for answers with questions, it's not hard to guess......

At the beginning, the Saint of the Word saved Garden with the method of 'Li Dai Tao Stiff', and also transferred the imprint on Garden to himself...... Alduin then devoured the Word Speaker, no doubt bearing the imprint of Ikali.

In other words, he is now a 'believer' of Ikali.

The Lord of the Elements himself may not have known this, but Alduin knew very well that this was why he did not dare to return to Lokan.

As the Destroyer's grip on me deepened, I became more and more able to peer into his fears, which I felt like panic when I touched them, so I was sure that he had soaked himself in Nilverheim, trying to dispel the imprint, but he almost dissipated his consciousness...... So his weakness is the brand.

So, the Destroyer needs an agent—someone who can do everything for him in Lokan, and who can even free him from his cage in the end.

There is no doubt that this person is me.

And I'll give him a perfect answer.

After figuring this out, and going back to the original question, the problem came back to 'me' as an agent...... That is, the one who really kills the gods and unravels the shackles on Alduin...... It's me.

Or rather, the reason why Alduin is the 'destroyer of the world', and the reason why he knows the 'method' to kill the gods, is because the method is hidden in my mind......

And I just haven't been able to notice it.

It was only when he took full control of me and asked me to 'hand in the answers' that he would see all this......

So, with this hint, or 'hint', I naturally don't miss the 'answer' again.

In fact, the answer is simple – how did the first creation differ from the later creations?

They can't use the power of faith...... But the power of faith comes from them.

The first creation itself was a part of this world, the elements, the souls...... They are also Mia's creations, but they have no 'mission'.

Mia seems to have given them eternal life, but in reality, at the end of time, they will also return to being a part of the world.

In this long process, the so-called 'power of faith' is the shackle and catalyst.

Second, and even third-generation creations will become stronger and stronger by the power of faith, and in the end, the gods who cannot use the power of faith will gradually be eliminated and forgotten...... This is also a kind of cycle and law.

In other words, if there were no believers, no second-generation creations who believed in gods, the first creations would not be worth mentioning.

As for how to implement it...... Actually, it's not that hard.

Alduin would give me the basketball-sized crystallization of divine power to Calypso, and then the Endless Sea would multiply dozens of times more than before, completely flooding the Plains of Randing Horses and stopping at the bottom of the Kadra Plateau.

Then, the incomparably inflated Poseidon will take the initiative to declare war on Ikali and unveil the prelude to 'Ragnarok'.

The only two minions of the Elemental Master, Ral and Ysus, have lost most of their powers due to her short-sightedness, and will undoubtedly be used as chips or one-time items......

At this point, she was left with only one believer, the god of the sea.

Even if the imprint is diluted, their faith relationship is still there, which will bring the divine war to a stalemate.

At this time, with the kindness of the Destroyer, I will untie Ikali's 'shackles', that is, completely destroy the magic web, and the latter has no room for refusal or bargaining.

At that time, the yellow sand, which had been confined to the elemental realm by the magic net and accumulated for tens of thousands of years, would pour down and mix with the Endless Sea, destroying Calypso's body......

At that time, it will also be the time of the real 'twilight'.

At this point, all of Ikali's divine servants, except for the world-destroyer who was still imprinted, had fallen. My mission will also come to an end.

The blueprint has been written, and your mission will begin.

You will inherit my 'permissions', because we are one. From the moment you wake up, you'll automatically have access to both worlds, make good use of those resources, and don't forget that we've defeated the Destroyer.

Don't worry about 'twilight' and 'catastrophe', you can save the world even if it is devastated, can you?

Mia's prophecy revealed all of this long ago, and she concluded by saying that "the cycle of reincarnation will eventually end, and only one person will see the Light".

I hope that person is you.

You are a life born because of me, and I hope you can reap the happiness you deserve.

May you also be gentle with the world.

- Mu Yan

After reading it, Xia Mu stood in place for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he wanted to spit out all the boredom in his heart.

"Am I worthy of being trusted......

He muttered.
