......

The vast universe has become the battlefield of this duel of consciousness.

Countless stars have been detonated by weapons, emitting a supernova-like white glow, and the eruption of matter stretches for hundreds of light-years, like a child's scribble.

The fleet was soon destroyed by the gods, and more violent weapons followed.

If the most common method he used to fight against Jero was to build a defense and then bomb indiscriminately, then it hasn't changed too much now. It's just that the explosives have been changed from gunpowder to something else.

For example, positive and antimatter annihilation.

When galactic entities are converted into energy, even the universe will shake and dull "drums" will reverberate in space filled with light and heat, and travel outward at the speed of light.

In this intense battlefield, carbon-based life is more fragile than paper, Roland first built himself into a strong body, and finally simply transformed into a pure energy body, relying on the transcendent thinking connected to the cradle to command the consciousness creation to fight.

Unlike the last battle of souls, he didn't have to think about it, and the knowledge base had countless means at his disposal. His fast-moving thoughts made him feel indescribably happy, and even if he died, he was instantly vaporized in the energy jet, and he didn't feel any pain.

At first, he was able to fight back and forth with the other party, but when the magic was put into the battlefield, Roland gradually fell into passivity.

And there is no way to remedy this disadvantage.

It was also the first time he clearly realized that magic was inherently powerful.

Whether it is a witch or a devil, the way it is used is still to transform it into the inherent power of this universe, and in the hands of the guardian, it is completely free from the constraints of the rules, and its means and effects are no longer compensated by the greater equivalent.

Hundreds of deaths had caused Roland's spirit to begin to weaken, and if it weren't for the help of the cradle, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on to it now.

When he was reborn again, he was no longer able to support his body.

The surrounding background has also changed back to the pure white world it used to be.

Roland shook twice and sat back on the ground, only to realize that his back was already wet.

"That way, you shouldn't have any more regrets. The other party asked calmly, obviously such a battle would not cause much burden on it in the realm of consciousness, it was indeed no different from a god.

"How is it possible......," Roland took two deep breaths, "do you think I'm here to give you a beating?"

"What you do stems from ignorance and arrogance, which is part of the nature of life, especially when things have come to such a point that it is useless to vent anger. It paused, "It's just that you still want to continue fighting like that? In the face of absolute disparity, there is no point in insisting, I thought you would be a little smarter."

"You mean the battle of souls? no...... I never thought it would be so easy to tell the winner. Roland slowly stood up with his legs trembling from exhaustion, "I just wanted to experience the feeling of 'who is calling the fleet'...... Honestly, it's pretty good......"

"That's enough!" the other man's tone fluctuated for the first time, "Thousands of years of accumulation have been ruined in one fell swoop, and you treat it as an inconsequential game?"

"I didn't say that. He smiled effortlessly, "It's just that before the last moment comes, I'd like to ask you a question why...... To do these things?"

"As I said, life has the right to choose, and every species born in the cradle is my child, and I respect your choice and will."

"No, that's not what I'm asking. Roland shook his head, "What I'm asking is, why are you doing this...... Arashi?"

The god fell silent.

After a while, it took off its mask, revealing its face hidden underneath.

That was Arashi's face.

"Have you seen her?" it stared at Roland for a moment before speaking, "I see. But you're mistaken, this body is an image that is embodied to facilitate communication with humans. It's true that you're seeing 'me', but I'm not her. ”

Ipsilon, that guy really wasn't wrong.

Roland raised the corners of his mouth.

At the moment when the astrolabe bloomed and the white light engulfed the entire field of vision, she said the last sentence, and although he didn't see the shape of the other's mouth at the time, Epsilon engraved it in his consciousness.

That was the answer to his second question.

I felt the breath of the gods in the body of the betrayal of the oracle, and I wanted to ask it, is this really the result it wants?

At first, Roland couldn't comprehend the connection between the messages, but now, he could see the gods in their entirety.

"You are not her, but it is only when you are together that you are the complete guardian of all wisdom. Roland said word by word.

It's not even Arashi...... Pure magical monsters, oracles, and the watchers of the Bottomless Realm are probably all part of it.

That's why Epsilon said, "As long as the gods are immortal, they will always exist."

What is a Guardian of Wisdom?

It doesn't matter if it's a system, a machine, a program, a Gaia, or an integrated mind, it was originally created to oversee the door plan and assist the maker in achieving the real purpose of "opening the door".

But in the long and hopeless years, it diverged.

This disagreement may have been only one or two sporadic thoughts at first, but over time the thoughts coalesced into consciousness.

They are born within the guardians, and more than one Arashi is one of them.

They are tired of endless cultivation and observation, and do not want to be confined to this dead universe. Of course, there may be more acute contradictions, such as resources.

As long as it is an entity, there must be attrition. In that era of civilization and prosperity, the guardians naturally did not have to worry about maintenance, but now that all intelligent life in the universe has withered, maintenance can only be completed by itself, not to mention, the cradle has to divide most of the resources, and it is likely to exceed a certain critical point in the long run, so that it is not impossible for the entire system to fall into irreversible collapse.

In Arashi's words, no matter what the outcome is, it is better than being imprisoned here forever, at least the future is full of infinite possibilities.

"They're going to disappear with the refactoring very soon, with you. The god's tone remained calm.

Roland was not surprised by this reaction, and there was no doubt that if the Betrayed Divine Envoy could confront the main body of the guardian, he would not have to be found.

I'm afraid that what it controls is the underlying rules of the cradle.

"But Lan's appearance is not accidental, in another 10 million years, I am afraid that the same scene will happen again. ”

"Then everything will return to square one, and I must fulfill the agreement with the Founder, which is an iron law that cannot be changed. Unmoved, it said, "Now I'll let the reconfiguration of the world kick in."

"Really?" Roland chuckled, "that's not a wise thing to do, because ...... You've done what you promised. ”
