Chapter 45: Goblin Slayer (End)

"It's coming......"

As early as a few minutes ago, Nobita had used his "extrasensory" to feel the faint power of the attack in the sky, so he didn't feel that strange. Those eyes had been watching in the sky, and they were also testing, and they weren't sure how far Nobita would do it. And now, after seeing the sentinel's abilities with their own eyes, these high gods can no longer sit still.

Whether it's technology or intelligence, the Sentinel series of robots has gone far beyond the limits of what the world can bear. If left unchecked, even if Nobita disappears from this world now, his influence will still endure, and the confrontation between humans and the demon clan will be broken for a long time...... Perhaps in thirty years, it will become as common for sentinels to hunt demons as "the sun rises in the east", and people will become accustomed to life without demons, and the world will become warless.

This is something they will not tolerate.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

The divine light fell to the ground and turned into two solid-colored human figures, also a man and a woman. The man was black, the woman was snow-white, and other than that, the man and the woman never showed the slightest "human" qualities. Their faces are ordinary, but there is a fairy aura around them, which is a bit similar to the Chinese immortals in Nobita's impression.

"I am the true God." The black man said.

"I am the god of fantasy." The white woman said.

"......" Nobita glanced at the two immortals, a sarcastic sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Fortunately, I will be lucky." Speaking of which, if I'm not mistaken, the two of you are the leaders of two completely different forces, chaos and order, why did they show up together today? ”

"As an intruder, you're too flamboyant, Mr. Nobi." The true god's tone didn't seem to be much of a threat, it was just a simple statement of fact, "Originally, there was no need for us to come in such a posture, but now ......"

"You really made us feel threatened." The God of Illusion smiled and gently pushed his hand into the air, conjuring up four aristocratic chairs, "If you don't mind...... We are two 'supreme gods' representing different camps, and I hope to talk to you. ”

"In terms of the future of this world, what direction should it go?"

……

The goblin slayer on the side was inevitably a little confused, and there was always a feeling of unreality when listening to the speech of this group of immortals, although there was a guy on the other side who claimed to be the "true god......

I'm just a hunter who hunts goblins, so why is it related to the ultimate proposition of these worlds?

"Sit down." Nobita said lightly, "Goblin Killer San, you are the one I chose...... Don't be afraid of these false gods, just think of them as powerful magicians. ”

"First of all, I hope to start with the two sides resolving the misunderstanding." Compared with the god of fantasy, the tone of the real god was a little more direct, which also made Nobita feel more unhappy, "We are indeed gods." In this world, we can't come in the form of an ontology, and what you see now is something like a doppelganger. But we have the power to make a real difference in the world, and all races have their origins in a big gamble, including everything you see now...... It's all the result of our dice rolling. ”

"Hmph......" Nobita looked away and laughed very disdainfully, "What do you want to say?" ”

"We made this world, so we gods have absolute dominion over it." The true god said, "No matter what you think of what's going on here...... This is all taken for granted, and has been going on for tens of thousands of years, and no one has ever had a problem with it. But since you, Mr. Nobi, an outsider came here, you have criticized us in every way, and it makes no sense. ”

"Save it...... Do you think you're great? Nobita's face showed an impatient look for the first time, and he almost wanted to get up from his chair, but he still didn't do that, "Who hasn't done it yet?" I ask you, Mr. True, how many gods do you have? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Counting the new gods who are still in the making, there are about ten. ”

"Good. Let me tell you a story...... Don't look at my virtue, I was also a creator god before, and I have as much 'control' as you, but I am the only one, and no one else has to share power with me. Nobita sneered and said, "It's not that if you create a civilization, you can do whatever you want with them, you have to be responsible." And the so-called responsibility, I think that even if it is allowed to develop on its own, it should not be used as a pastime drama...... If you do, you don't deserve to be called God at all. ”

"It's just creatures that rely on their power to fool others."

……

The God of Truth glanced at Nobita, and black sparks began to appear around him, and the entire sky darkened a little.

"You are too arrogant to say this, aren't you...... Mr. Nobi. ”

"Arrogant?" Nobita didn't pay attention to his small actions, but continued to say, "Who is arrogant? Who is it who, for his own desires, adjusted the fate of all mortals in the world and gifted demons and disasters to mankind? Who is causing untold sorrow, pain, anger and hatred in the world? Just to create a 'character' that fits your aesthetics? ”

"Look at this man next to me...... He is the monster you created, and you ruined his life. Even if it's just to make the world no longer have any 'killers', I'm going to make you make it, this damn 'world'...... Mill into powder. ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Boom!"

The black flames spread out and turned into a little ghost rain, dyeing the whole world inky black.

"So...... Is it non-negotiable? "It seems that the true god has lost his desire to make a move, and with the last move, he will pour an unprecedented attack on Nobita, "I'll say it first, Mr. Nobi, the reason why we are here is to give 'the emperor of nothing' a face, after all, you are an adventurer sent by him......"

"......" Nobita secretly raised his eyebrows and wrote down what he said, but did not ask on the spot.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Please don't forget that no matter how much you slander our Godhead, the divine power we hold is still an objective fact. We can 'mutate' a race against the sentinels you've created. ”

"If you can do it, give it a try." Nobita has almost 100% confidence in the creation of the Swift, "Sentinels are able to learn much faster than they can evolve naturally...... When the time comes, I'm afraid that your creatures have not yet fully evolved, and the sentinels will already be ready to take countermeasures. Believe me, the people who designed the Sentinels are definitely beyond the reach of any of you...... Even if you let her take your place, there will be no problem. ”

When it comes to this, the atmosphere on both sides has fallen to the freezing point, and it has become the kind of "just find a reason to do it".

The two gods had naturally seen Nobita's move...... When he tore apart the Demon King Army, the gods of both camps were watching from the sky, taking in the whole process. As god-kings, the two of them are sure to deal with Nobita in their normal form (i.e., Nobita in Godzilla form), and once he wields the power of Ghidorah, there will be no way. However, according to observations, Ghidorah's power has a time limit, and if it is used hard, it will only take three minutes at most, which is similar to Ultraman...... If the two god kings use all their strength, they should be fine to survive for three minutes.

It's not Nobita that's really tricky, it's another force around him......

Ever since Nobita entered this world, that force has come in with it. The current two god-kings couldn't see Yu Feiyan, but they were very sure that there was a ubiquitous high-ranking god with hands and eyes in the sky watching them beside Nobita. Once commanded, this god could destroy the world they had created in an instant...... Therefore, this time forward, it is really a good idea to go to the point of going to war.

Finding out the truth and finding out Nobita's intentions is their main purpose.

"Hold off, Mr. Nobi...... We don't have to be enemies. The god of illusions began to fulfill her duties, smiling and singing with a white face, "Since we can't convince each other, let's stop wasting any more time and jump straight to the end?" ”

"The risk-taker's union mechanism has been in place in this world for thousands of years...... Imagine what would happen to the adventurers who would have used it to support their families if you had let the sentinels take away their jobs? What happens to those who work in trade unions? The god of fantasy also laughed, but Nobita felt that her laughter was far more dangerous and deadly than that of the real god, "They will lose everything overnight." Money, social status, values, ideals...... All of this is gone. There is only one reason: overly powerful sentinel robots take away their jobs and make them no longer needed by society. ”

"Indeed, as creators, we have to admit that your sentinels are near-perfect creatures. Delicate and powerful, he has unparalleled power and does not need rest, no pay, not even food. But have you ever considered that it is not necessarily a good thing for too powerful technology to come to this backward world? ”

She smiled shallowly, and her words were fluttering, like the layer of feather coat on her body, "I remember, your ideal is to make all the people in the world happy, right?" What a great dream...... But in your opinion, should adventurers and union workers be excluded from this great love? That's a lot of numbers, given the number of people. ”

"Take the one next to you, Goblin Slayer, who is one of the humans we focus on. A sentry can handle something as trivial as a goblin hunt on his own, and will be more efficient than any human team, never missing. In that case, Mr. Goblin Slayer's value will become zero, right? The same thing...... If all the crusades were given to the sentinels, no one would be hurt, no longer needed healing magic, and the Cult would lose its relevance......"

"If there are no more goblins in the world, it doesn't matter if I'm unemployed."

Brother Kill coldly popped out such a sentence to support his friend.

"You are a noble man, but the premise has not changed." The god of illusions was quite eloquent, and she was not interrupted by the sudden interjection of the Goblin Slayer, but continued, "What human nature is, you two couldn't be clearer...... Many adventurers risk their lives just to eat and earn some money to spend. They've lost their jobs, they're full of grievances, and there's no way they're going to go to your sentinels to vent β€” they're killing themselves. So, think about it, what will happen to them? What do I have to do to get the money? ”

"The crime rate is going to go up, right?"

"Should the Sentinels interfere in the development of the human kingdom? Will the haters of them come together and use demonic power to deal with the sentinels in turn? After all, people who are driven to a dead end will never pay any attention to reason......"

β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Master." Yu Feiyan whispered in Nobita's ear, "According to the calculations of psychohistory, there is a high probability that what she said will become true." ”

"...... 'Fantasy' lady?" Nobita had no choice but to hide the uneasiness in his heart with a sneer, "Although you have such a name, every word you say is really terrible." Are you trying to persuade me to abandon all plans? Truth be told, in a few minutes, I may have reached the end of my stay in this world...... Do you expect everything to run as usual, like I never came into this world? ”

"I don't mean that. Mr. Nobi, I'm sure you can see that the 'true' god and I are only responsible for our own creation. You may be a kind person who is tolerant of all living beings, and you have your own plans and considerations, and you want to change the world all at once...... Unfortunately, the world has its own rules, and if you force it to be reversed, it may end up causing more unnecessary and irreparable tragedies. ”

"That's just the necessary pain to change the world." Nobita forced his voice to be lowered, "Forty years at most...... In forty years, the Sentinels will outnumber the Demons, and their flying figures will fill the sky at any given moment, turning into a large web of shape. Humanity will come out of the cricket cage you have set up once and for all and live the life they want to live. ”

"You said it yourself, forty years. In the past 40 years, how will this backward world be turned upside down, and have you considered it? ”

……

For a time, the two sides were at a stalemate, and neither could completely convince anyone.

For the first time, Nobita felt his limits and inadequacies: as a human being, his insight and wisdom were too short to match those of these gods. The problems pointed out by the god of fantasy are all real, but he has never considered this layer before, nor has he thought about what changes the appearance of the sentinel will bring to human society. In his opinion, the story should have ended a long time ago.

Ultimately...... Is it just clever?

If the wooden shirt is there......

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Yu Feiyan temporarily closed her ninth-level psychic encryption channel and appeared in front of the two god kings, which was also the first time she appeared in front of a "god" other than Nobita.

The so-called mind encryption refers to the degree of "deception" of the world, and Yu Feiyan's original encryption level is equivalent to the type of "unless it is intentionally exposed to others, it cannot be observed by any means". And a large part of the reason why she is now unencrypted is because she can't stand it anymore......

"Good morning, two, I'm a cosmic-level terminal energy-oriented artificial intelligence, my name is Yu Feiyan." She gently shook her short blue hair, the fluorescent strands of hair that shone slightly under the black canopy, reminiscent of glowing jellyfish, "As far as I can see...... The two of us disagreed with my master's proposal, and we couldn't seem to agree on some specific implementation details. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Truly. The eyes of the god of truth were full of hostility when he looked at her, perhaps in the eyes of the gods, Yan brought a far more threat than Nobita, a fledgling hairy boy, "Your master has a rich imagination, but unfortunately, he does not know how to follow the customs. ”

Ignoring his provocation, Yu Feiyan said in a tone that did not fluctuate, "I have a compromise idea that can accommodate the feelings of the two of us while satisfying the wishes of our masters. I'm going to repeat it in as concise a sentence as possible, and I ask you to note that this is not a solicitation for your opinion, and whether you agree with it or not, the plan will begin to execute as scheduled the moment I finish repeating it. ”

……

"Human society cannot accept the existence of sentinels in a short period of time because their appearance is too shocking, it conflicts greatly with the mainstream beliefs and values of human society, and it is easy for them to associate bad things. In that case, I can get the Sentinel to turn on the 'Camouflage' ability. The nanoalloys that make up their bodies can be deformed to a certain extent, in other words...... Just by scanning the appearance of humans, they can turn into human forms and blend into human society, and no one will be able to detect their existence. ”

"I'm sure the two of you already know that Sentinels have the ability to multiply at high speed, and they can convert energy into mass, which is then converted into the necessary parts to form another 'Sentinel', a process that takes about two minutes. Calculated as an exponential function, when the command is given, the number of robots will multiply more than any species in the world; After one day, the number of sentinels will be equal to the sum of all species in the world. If the two tried to take extreme actions after the master left the world, forcibly interfering with his plans...... The Sentinels will turn on their own proliferation commands, flooding and splitting the world with unprecedented efficiency, so be sure to think twice. ”

is worthy of Yu Feiyan, even the threat can be said to be so upright and bright.

"But as long as the two of them don't do anything drastic, the Sentinels won't do that, and they'll limit their numbers to a certain range...... Then he takes on a human form and blends into human society. A large number of them will become rookie adventurers, casting a net to join and lurk in teams of rookies around the world. Don't question their ability to learn, as long as they want to, the humanoid sentinels can perfectly mimic human habits, and there's nothing wrong with working with the team. As long as they are there, the probability of a newcomer dying in a mission will be greatly reduced, and when they have the ability to protect themselves, the Sentinel will quit the team, change to a new appearance, and rejoin the rest of the newcomer team. ”

And a small part of ...... He will participate in the current affairs of each race, play the role of a leader, and guide and control the direction of each country little by little, so that all races can develop upward under a reasonable conflict. I've equipped the Sentinels with a psychic system, and with this power, they can telepathize with the humanoid races, and their rise to the leadership of each race is as easy as reaching for something. Under their leadership, civilization as a whole will be changed in a more moderate way, the first Renaissance, the first scientific flamm, the first industrial revolution ......"

"With the help of the Sentinels, one will find that the efficiency of killing the Demon Clan is slowly increasing, but it will not kill all the enemies overnight. According to my calculations, it will take about ten years from the beginning of the implementation of the plan to the complete elimination of the demon clan, and these ten years will be used as a buffer. One day, the Demon Race will be completely wiped out, and the world will enter a new chapter under the leadership of the Sentinel Leaders, and the adventurer system will be eliminated and replaced by a civilization that develops rapidly and continues to move forward! ”

……

Dan's lips opened slightly, and the words were finished.

Nobita's whole person is dumbfounded...... He found that this great immortal was definitely more qualified to be a savior than himself. Look at the plan that others have set up that is flawless, not only herself, but the two god kings opposite also looked at her with a look of surprise, not knowing how to answer. After all, it's a cosmic-level AI, and it can only be described by the words "exhaustive", and this plan sounds much better than Nobita's violent rewriting.

In fact, it only took Rain Swift seven seconds to come up with......

Moreover, in this plan, the necessity of the existence of the gods was completely removed. All automation is done by the sentinels, and it will be executed no matter what, with them and without them. Even if they wanted to influence the human world, the only way to do so was to create another race to compete with the Sentinels, and that race would most likely have to be brave per capita (the wall in the original game) to have any hope of fighting them.

When the Sentinel's "resistance system" is forced out, they will show a thousand times more combat power than they are now, and starships or something may appear on the battlefield at that time...... Just one brave man may not be able to turn the tide of the battle. And their multiplication rate is faster than that of cockroaches, and when the time comes, they can slowly drag the whole world to death when they come to the tactics of the sea of people.

"I have to note that there doesn't seem to be a place for us in your picture of the future." The Fantasy God's tone also became a little subtle, "In ten years, people will completely forget about us...... Do you think we're going to continue with this? ”

"I don't mean to be offended, if you two want to do anything, you can do what you want. Even if we leave this world soon, the Sentinels will be more than enough to handle any special situation, and no matter what, whatever you do, the plan will go according to schedule, I can guarantee that. Yu Feiyan has always spoken very plainly, but in the eyes of the two god kings, this guy is properly threatening......

"Considering that there are indeed many 'miracles' in this world, I think that the search for your power will continue for some time...... Beliefs of all kinds do not die out immediately. However, as technological capabilities around the world have developed considerably, people's living standards will continue to rise year by year, and in a hundred years at most, everyone will study your deeds as some kind of relic. Of course there will still be believers, but the number will be greatly reduced...... I hope to be mentally prepared. ”

"Do you know psychohistory? It is a discipline of macro-regulation of society, and if it is used properly, it can predict and change the future, in other words, the fate of the sentinels will never fall into the hands of the gods, and you do not have to try to grasp them. They will put to good use the weapons I have given themβ€”not just physically, but also some advanced knowledge that is not of this world. They are all excellent sociologists who know what to do and when to get the most bang for their buck, pushing this rigid society to successive peaks. ”

In a few words, Yu Feiyan finalized the future of this world with an unquestionable attitude. And as the only person who knew the whole thing, Goblin Slayer's face under the iron armor was already dumbfounded, and he didn't know what expression to make.

He had a hunch...... Whether the gods want it or not, the world will usher in a great change.

Start here. Let's start now.

In the direction of the east, a strong wind suddenly blew, which made people feel cold.
