Eight hundred and ninety-three The road to the unity of man and God, Hathaway's gambling abyss
The thin and thin body curled up in the sofa, holding the crystal cup and drinking a few sips of hot tea, let out a pleasant sigh.
The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl said in an old-fashioned tone: "I can only say that I am sorry about Menesus. After something went wrong in the Misty Swamp, I felt that the era change had accelerated, so I had to quickly return my body to you and fall back into a deep sleep. β
"So when I wake up, the era change should be at the most critical juncture, and I still have the strength to do something. β
"I also sensed that Menesus had some thoughts, but I thought there was enough time, and I didn't expect ......"
This girl is the embodiment of the Night Lady, although the qualifications are very poor and she can't withstand the will of the gods that is too strong, but the Night Lady is also weak and just makes do.
"So, ma'am, all the plans you made before have been abandoned?"
Hathaway looked at the girl and asked very seriously, "Just because of the Misty Swamp...... Now it's called Godfall Plateau, and the change in that place? That was caused by Lady Crimson and Richie. Then Richie came back to the Storm Islands and pierced the membrane and swept away the mess you left behind......"
"The god of loyalty and protection, Kem, returned to the priesthood of order through Theresia and became the goddess of order, and it was your arrangement from the beginning, right?"
"I don't know what role Lady Crimson and Richie played in this process, but they must have been in the process of making the mortal Theresia disappear and the goddess of order pure. β
"I always feel ...... Ms. Crimson and Richie seem to know your arrangements well and are targeting you at every turn. β
Hathaway mustered up the courage to ask, "What is your relationship with Lady Crimson and Richie?"
Don't look at the Night Lady is not in shape, she is a god after all, and one of the origin gods who have crossed the Dark Ages, Hathaway does not dare to really upset her.
The girl said lightly: "Ms. Crimson does have something to do with me, if you want to know, I will tell you after I become a god." As for Richie Preor, a mere mortal, it's not worth mentioning. I don't understand why you keep pulling him with Lady Crimson and saying, "Does he owe you a lot of money?"
"She did disrupt my plans, and she was the cause of the epoch change to go so fast. However, on the fundamental issue of resolving the world crisis, our purpose is the same, and I can only pinch my nose and admit it. β
"Don't think I've got everything in place, there's no such thing. I'm limited in my abilities, but I'm just mixing in on a lot of nodes that can determine the course of the world. Either push it or add some ingredients, and wait for the natural change. β
"The world of Fein is facing a great crisis, and the change of epochs is only the result. There are many things that cannot be seen clearly from the perspective of mortals, or that they are seen but find contradictory and difficult to understand. So, Hathaway, I need you, the world needs you. β
"If you help me, I'll think about it", Hathaway insisted on her previous answer in the illusion.
The girl smiled bitterly: "I know what the hell you are thinking, let me help you see the nature of the world from a mortal perspective, and then weigh which side is more beneficial to you." It's a pity that if you do this, it will only strengthen your mortal path. β
Hathaway raised her chin and said proudly, "How do I feel that you actually don't know anything about the truth of the world, and you can't solve my problems?"
The teacup in the girl's hand shook and said in a low voice: "Hathaway, you really hate it, you dare to insult my wisdom!"
Without waiting for Hathaway to curl the corners of her mouth, the girl said again: "You actually used the radical method on me, did you think I was a fool like the god of war?"
The tone instantly became cheerful, and the girl said, "I just learned that Shuma became a god of war, and he finally followed my advice, and the god of war must not know that I am actually the driving force behind this......"
Hathaway showed no signs of weakness: "Ma'am, you're changing the subject. β
The girl was stunned and said dejectedly: "Okay, I admit that I really don't understand the mess you made up." β
"Strictly speaking, it's not a question of whether I understand or not, but as a god, I can't and don't need to observe and analyze the world like a mortal. β
The girl's tone became serious: "Hathaway, there is a goddess of magic above the magician, and she can still stand firm on two boats." Why are those arcanists who seek the ultimate truth like street rats in Finn?"
"Because there is no ultimate, only truth in this world. β
"The question you are studying is to see the world from the perspective of mortals, but the world in the eyes of the gods is different from that of mortals. β
"Mortals have mortal truths, and gods have truths of gods, and these two truths can be completely different or even contradictory to each other, but they can exist at the same time. β
Hathaway listened as if she understood, and tried to ask, "Just like ants, mice, cats, dogs, and humans see the world differently, right?" but that is only a faΓ§ade, and the world must have only one basic set of laws." β
The girl smiled slightly, "The basic law? No, the gods themselves are the basic laws of the world of Fein. β
"I can help you find the truth of the world you want, but only the truth that is there will work when I am there. For I did not discover that truth, but created that truth, just as I edited the attributes of the kingdom of God. β
"Got it? When you analyze the world from a mortal perspective, what you end up getting can only be used by mortals. When you analyze the world through the lens of magic, the world shows you the laws of magic. β
"The world is not just magic. Even primordial magic is not a law that can encompass the entire world. Tracing back to the origins is a good idea, but it doesn't mean it's the right one. The evolution of Finn's world over hundreds of millions of years has driven various changes not only by the power of origin, but also by various external forces. β
Hathaway said apprehensively, "Could it be ...... Is my research pointless?"
Then he shook his head: "Ma'am, you're bewitching me again." β
The girl shrugged: "You don't believe it and you can't help it, of course your research is not meaningless, it just makes you go further on the road of magic." β
Hathaway's eyes flickered, it was a manifestation of an epiphany: "I understand, there is only one fundamental law in the world of Fein, and the soul produces power!"
"Beyond that, the concrete presentation of the world does not follow any ultimate truth. Whoever goes further and describes the world more complete and detailed, the more powerful the truth, and the world will evolve more of this truth!"
The girl looked at Hathaway with surprised eyes, and said with emotion: "It is worthy of my holy daughter." β
He shook his head again and said, "Unfortunately, no matter how deep a mortal's understanding of the world is, it is too weak compared to the understanding of the gods. β
"Certain souls from the purely material world, trying to create pure material truth in Fein. But just a portal is far beyond the basic laws of the material world, not to mention the manipulation of the timeline and even dimensional faults, which are only delusional in the material world. β
"Hathaway, mortals use the power of faith to support the evolution of the gods, and the gods use the power of the gods to support the evolution of the world, and the scale of the two is different. Mortals are indispensable, but it is the gods who determine the course of the world. β
Hathaway shook her head firmly: "When mortals can break through the barrier of the main plane without the help of the power of the gods, and even change the heavens and the earth, it is no longer the gods who determine the course of the world." β
The girl squirted, and the tea condensed in the air in front of her into a laughing elf head with two pairs of pointed ears, giggling and giggling.
"Hathaway," the girl said, rubbing her chest, breathlessly, "Is a mortal who can do that kind of thing still a mortal? β
Hathaway asked, "Is it the kind of being controlled by the heart of a god?" like the goddess of order now. β
The girl sighed and sighed, "I am different from believing in gods, and I don't need to specifically separate the hearts of gods to improve the efficiency of dealing with divine powers. I am with the night where there are stars and moons, and I cannot answer your question. β
Hathaway asked again, "If the heart of a mortal controls the heart of a god, is that a mortal also a god?"
The girl continued to drink water, which made her stunned again, but she was not choked, and the tea poured directly into it.
A large cup of tea poured into her stomach, and the girl reacted, rubbed her belly, and said with a wry smile: "Hathaway, you are the most daring mortal ever." β
Hathaway's eyes lit up: "I want to try ......"
The girl put down the teacup, folded her arms, and reached out with a hand to pinch her chin.
After pondering for a long time, she said, "It is indeed very interesting, I even doubt ......"
Speaking of this, he turned away: "But I can't help you." β
Hathaway shook her head, "No, ma'am, you can help me." β
The girl sighed curiously and expectantly, and Hathaway said, "Can you help me calculate something?" I learned to use numbers to get closer to the truth, and some calculations I found that even legendary-level prophecy could not be solved, and if I let the gods do it, ......"
The girl's eyes widened, "Hathaway, you're using me, Lady Night, as a calculator?"
She stretched out her hand and gave a thumbs up: "You have a kind!"
Then she said, "If you're really adventurous, then we can make a deal." As long as I do the math for you, you'll have to hand over half of your soul, and I can try to make a god's heart so you can keep a mortal heart. β
"About this ......"
Hathaway smiled and said, "Although I am not afraid of taking risks, Theresia has proved that the path of the unity of man and God cannot lead when a person is both a god and a man. β
The girl's eyes weren't big, but staring down like this today was enough to make her eyes bigger.
She was even more curious: "Oh, what are you going to do?"
Hathaway pointed to the ceiling, "I want my tower spirit to be this deity, and then I will remain in a state of soul symbiosis with it." β
"Your Taling?"
The girl stretched out her hand, and a fist-sized white crystal arrived in her hand, which was just an illusion.
She looked at the crystal, and her little face was stunned, and then it turned helpless and embarrassed.
"Really...... Fate is predestined. β
She sighed deeply: "Your tower spirit is a discrete divinity, and it is already in a stable state, don't ask what concept this is, in short, this is almost the base of the heart of the innate god." β
She thought of something, and looked at Hathaway with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Do you know the origin of this tower spirit?"
Hathaway shook her head blankly, she only knew that her mother had given it to her when she was a child.
"It's still your aunt......"
The girl's words made Hathaway's eyes widen until they straightened.
"And there is more than one, all of them are daughters of the Night's Watch and the remains of the Goddess of Magic. β
The girl said to Hathaway, who was in a puppet state, "Use it to make the heart of a god, and then conclude a soul symbiosis contract with you, it should go well, your souls are already very closely connected." β
"However, there are still many problems to be solved, first of all, the choice of the priesthood, it must be the path that you agree with in your heart, and then find the corrupt artifact related to this new priesthood. β
"Secondly, we have to find a mortal body for this tower spirit and follow the normal process of becoming a god, otherwise it will attract the attention of some kind of power. β
"You solve the first thing, I solve the second thing, and the third thing ...... It's up to you, the tower spirit. β
The girl's tone became extremely solemn: "Your idea is very interesting, but when this tower spirit becomes a god, she will no longer be your tower spirit, but a real god, just like a fake." Is she still willing to live with your soul and bind herself to you as a mortal?"
Looking at Hathaway, who had not yet recovered from the shock, the girl said: "I don't have much hope, don't expect me to do it, the symbiosis of the soul must be the agreement of both parties from the heart, and external forces cannot force it." β
Hathaway continued to be in a state of confusion, and the girl poured herself water.
By the time she reached the fourth cup, Hathaway finally came to her senses.
She said in a resolute tone, "I believe in Misya and bet!"
"I knew it was so," said the girl, "you have been a gambler since you were a child, the craziest kind." β
He smiled again: "But...... I like it. β
"So...... Bring me what you're going to calculate," the girl muttered, "It's so new to use yourself as a calculator for the first time, just to see your limits." β
Hathaway took the crystal ball and was about to stimulate it, when the girl took a cool breath: "It's not good......"
Hathaway was also frightened, and asked cautiously, "Has the world changed again?"
The girl nodded: "I have a premonition of a terrible change......"
She frowned and frowned, "If you don't carry me to the toilet in ten seconds, I'm going to ...... Leaked. β
"Ahββ!h
Hathaway shouted, and with a whoosh of the girl, she was gone.
