18. Cyber's Three Wishes
Wish, this is the embodiment of the most desired thing in people's hearts, every normal person will have a wish, whether you want to become a rich man in a place, or want to become the commander of a country, these are all in the category of wishes.
But to be honest, the thing of wish often carries a hint of fantasy, that is to say, what cannot be realized is called a wish, and what can be realized is not called a wish.
For ordinary people, there is very little possibility of realizing their wishes, because the human heart is always greedy, relying on hard work to achieve the original wish, and new wishes will be born, and so on, endlessly.
However, there are always some lucky people who will encounter the possibility of realizing their wishes, such as the legendary magic lamp, such as the devil's contract, such as sleeping and suddenly having a dream come true because of the chaos, these are all there, but the ending is always not very good.
At the end of the day, they still don't have the right idea of using wishes.
"For the sake of my good mood today, let me give you a hint. ”
Tanya Tivan, who had an anti-gravity cockscomb head, reached out and touched the strange earrings on his ears, he tapped them on the ground with his cane, coughed lightly, and said:
"Don't just ask me to do something dangerous, you have to understand that the story just now is for you, even if I can do something, you can't afford the result of the collision of two forces, if you don't want to be completely torn apart from the soul to the body. ”
"Yes"
Cyber nodded, in fact, after hearing the collector's terrifying little story, he understood what this guy meant, the phoenix is not so easy to expel and as a creative force that accompanies the existence of the multiverse, her authority in the multiverse is high beyond Cyber's imagination, and it is not a good thing to anger her at will.
Before doing big things, you have to calm down and think, this is a quality that anyone who does big things must have, and no decision can be controlled by emotions, which is very important, and 99% of decisions made with emotions are wrong.
"Uh..."
The rich smoke rises, and in this way Cyber brings himself to the calmest state of mind, and Tivan does not seem to care about this low-dimensional enjoyment, on the contrary, he enthusiastically takes a cigar from Cyber's hand, plays with it in his hand, and finally holds it in his mouth, and follows Cyber's example to light it.
"Wow, fun to eat. ”
The collector looked at the cigar in his hand, and he whispered, "In exchange for spiritual tranquility with some kind of harmful substance, it seems that human beings are indeed a strange race with a strong self-destructive instinct in their bones..."
"I figured it out. ”
Putting down the cigar and letting it be engulfed in a faint blue flame, Cyber looked at the collector, crossed his fingers, and whispered:
"First, please tell me, how can I get rid of the phoenix completely?"
"Well, is that really the problem?"
The Collector shrugged, his eyes rolled as he looked at Cyber:
"Are you sure you want to do this? You must know that the phoenix in your body has reached a high degree of compatibility with you, and as long as she wakes up again, I can guarantee that in the state of the white phoenix, in this universe, she can beat you on both hands. ”
"I'm sure!"
Saibo didn't hesitate at all, he said expressionlessly: "I do need strength, but if I can't be completely controlled by myself, I don't want it! I'm not used to putting my life in the hands of others." ”
"Well, then I'll give you the answer. ”
Tanlia Tivan's finger swiped in the air, and a star map appeared in front of Cyber's eyes, starting from the black market, across several galaxies, and finally reaching the extreme edge of the Milky Way, where it was even close to a black hole, which looked extremely dangerous.
"Each Elder of the Universe has his own special habits and abilities, as the oldest existence in the universe, we may not be strong in frontal combat, but the strange abilities we possess make us among the oldest organizations in the universe... My brother Gao Tianzun, he continues his boring "business" in Saka, which is where you want to achieve everything. ”
The collector did not give a vague prophecy of the gods, he told Cyber very directly:
"The first step in driving the phoenix away is to separate her from her body, and only when the two individuals do not interfere with each other, can you achieve equal dialogue, and my brother Gao Tianzun, his love of watching gladiatorial battles, has given him a special ability after a long and incomparably long time, after he opens up the realm, anyone will face the opponent they want to defeat... He is the only being in this universe who can help you. ”
A smile appeared on the collector's face, and the star map flashed across his fingers:
"Of course, I don't deny that my brother is actually a madman, so if you want his help, you have to please him first, take your best fighter to Saka, become a gladiator, and finally become a champion, and he will fulfill your requirements. ”
Cyber's expression turned ugly, and he looked at the collector:
"But I can't beat her!"
"That's your thing..."
Tanlia Tivan smiled impeccably: "I'm only responsible for helping you figure it out, you have to do the specific things yourself, don't you?"
"Okay, okay, you bad seed of the Elder of the Universe!"
Saiber suppressed the anger surging in his heart, and he said in a deep voice:
"The second wish, this time really tells me the mystery... How am I going to beat her?"
"If you can't beat it, wait for death..."
Tivan gave a mocking smile as his fingers tapped on the table: "The concept of the phoenix spans the 19,999 multiverses, if you want to defeat her, you have to outperform her from the level of the concept of existence, how long will it take you to enter the multiverse level? However, if it's just a simple way to get rid of it, I can give you a solution, depending on whether you want to use it or not. ”
"Yes, I'm listening. ”
Saibo picked up his teacup and took a sip from his lips, he looked at Tanya Tivan, who had a strange expression on his face, and he lowered his voice:
"If you can't beat an opponent, what's the best way to neutralize her threat?"
Hearing this, Cyber's expression became a little strange, he frowned, and asked rhetorically:
"Is this really okay? It's... Isn't that another deception?"
"No, no, no, you are very good, Seber Hawke, but unfortunately, you still look at things from a pathetic mortal level, let your eyes jump, for you, tens of thousands of years are meaningless, because you probably won't live that long, but for beings like us, tens of thousands of years are just a meaningless accumulation of time, from the moment we were born, time loses its meaning. ”
The collector looked at the dead sun above his head that had made him wait for 30,000 years, and he breathed a sigh of relief and whispered:
"Do you care about something that you can never run out of? The phoenix is also a living being, she has extraordinary intelligence, her life is destined to watch the birth and death of the universe, she is busy with something that can never be done, she is actually very pitiful... As pathetic as we are, many times, to do a lot of things, we don't actually need to fight and kill... As long as you hold your fingers, what reason does she have to disagree?"
"Uh..."
Tanlia Tivan held his teacup, blew on it slightly, and then drank a cup of tea, his eyes slightly closed:
"It's just to see if your brain is spinning fast... Okay, now that I've run out of 2 wishes, I'll repeat my previous assessment, Cyber Hawke, you're a smart guy... You do know how to use wishes correctly, and it's really nice to communicate with smart people, come on, say the last wish, and after that's all you can go... I'm looking forward to your next arrival. ”
A sincere smile tugged at the corner of the collector's mouth:
"You seem to be barely my lucky star. ”
"Well, the last one is... I think I've been planning to resurrect some of the dead..."
No sooner had he said something than he was interrupted by Tanya Tiwan:
"Stop!"
"You are doing something that is very dangerous for you now, the cycle of life and death in the universe is the basic rule, and it is not impossible for you to break this rule, but first you must be able to bear the consequences of everything you do... If you can't afford it, you'll be immediately courted by life... Oh wait, I forgot... You guy doesn't need to worry about the court of life, he can't see you..."
A hint of strangeness flashed across the collector's face:
"Okay, okay, you freak, say, what do you want to do?"
"I mean, some of my friends, they're dead, some of them are still dead, is there some way to resurrect them perfectly?"
Cyber's voice was a little jerky, and he said:
"I want the perfect resurrection, the kind without any side effects!"
"Well, your requirements are really high... Let me think. ”
The collector closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, his voice sounding like a dream:
"There are a lot of things that meet your requirements, but 99% of them are not yet accessible to your level, in this universe, there are only two ways that I can think of, with your current ability. ”
"First, pray for the phoenix. ”
He stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Cyber's eyes: "As the embodiment of the fire of creation, she can create life out of thin air if she wants to..."
"I've asked Phoenix. ”
Cyber shook his head: "She said she couldn't. ”
"Oh, that's sure she's not willing to do that, and it seems that the person you're going to resurrect has a bad relationship with her. ”
The collector snorted: "Female, just be careful, even the phoenix is unavoidable, so if she is not willing to do it, you can only have another way, a difficult way to do." ”
His gaze fell on Cyber's finger:
"But luckily, you've got the primer for it... You're one of the lucky ones. ”
"What?"
Cyber didn't understand too much, the collector's finger lifted upward, and two things jumped out of Cyber's sandalwood fan, which were two rings suspended in front of Cyber's eyes, one as red as blood, and one as orange as the end, at the moment when they were forcibly pulled out, the two rings buzzed wildly, trying to get rid of the collector's control, but obviously, in the absence of a host, they could not fight against the Universe Elders.
"The Ring of the Seven Lights, representing the seven psychic forces that were born in the universe, are normally regarded as weapons, but only the stupid will use them as weapons..."
The collector's gaze lingered for a moment on the beating lamp ring, and he looked up at Cyber:
"For your wish, what I give you is a secret..."
"It is said that when the seven lamps are gathered in one person, the most primordial part of the life force of the universe will be born, it is called the spirit of existence, and then they will summon the lamp ring of the legendary white lamp of life, and with it, you can resurrect all life... However, power comes at a price, and with a white light means that you will be controlled by the spirit of existence, and you will not be able to do whatever you want... Unless..."
An interested smile flashed across the collector's face:
"Unless you can get the only forbidden thing that can threaten the spirit of existence: the Ring of the Black Light of Death, you know, in my long life, I have seen a few times the white light appear, and at that time I have been thinking about what it would be like if a person had both the Seven Lantern Rings, the Black Lantern of Death and the White Lantern of Life... The Nine Colored Lantern Rings have never gathered in the same person, so I'm not sure what will happen when the Nine Lights come together. ”
"But the only thing I know for sure is that when the Spirit of Existence and the power of the Black Death Emperor converge, your existence itself will transcend death and life, and theoretically, you in that state can even set off a tide of death and creation that covers the entire universe. ”
"So Seber Hawke, are you going to give it a try?"
