Chapter 786: 'God' and 'Man'
Providence, a small inn next to a deserted and dilapidated city square.
At the end of the second floor of the hotel, in one of the most private rooms.
The light of the candles dispelled the darkness of the night, and the roaring fireplace brought in the warm heat.
"Shining home remedies octahedron...... The main quest of the first stage is to get something like this.,I thought it wasn't easy, but it wouldn't be too difficult.,But I didn't expect to almost lose everyone.。 ”
Sitting on the edge of the table, looking at the irregular spherical object in his hand, the gunman's muscular, powerful face showed a wry smile from the bottom of his heart. "And although the final result is not too bad, we have indeed suffered a lot of losses, and the permanent loss of attribute points alone can already catch up with the benefits of two missions......"
"Brother, you are glad, now you have only lost a little attribute point, in the face of that kind of phenomenon life that is simply incomprehensible, being able to communicate normally and save your life is already the best result!"
Yu Yan turned her head and opened her mouth to echo and correct her brother's misconceptions.
The unknown is mysterious, and mystery is power-
As a space-time apostle of the enhanced route on the magic side, the mage girl has a deep understanding of such a sentence. She once had an adventure in a certain world to ask a plot character who was practicing magic and knew almost all spells, and then the magic god told her this:
The truly terrifying powers are not those high-level, powerful, forbidden magical techniques, but completely unknown mysteries.
Spells enough to burn an entire city, enough magic to sink an entire nation, enough forbidden spells to destroy continents...... So much so that it is enough to exterminate all mankind, shatter the stars, and annihilate the primordial rune power of the plane. - Maybe it's the stress response of elements and energy, maybe it's the subtle changes in matter and space, maybe it's time, fate, cause and effect, speech...... And so on unexplained power.
But no matter how great its power is, how strange its effect is, as long as you clearly know its power effect, operating mechanism, and principle of action, even if it is just a description of a few words, then it is not completely impossible to fight.
- Only those whose forms are unknown, whose types are vague, whose attributes are chaotic, whose states are ambiguous, whose effects are unknown, and whose effects are completely unknown, and who cannot even determine whether this is a simple force, a technique, or a certain phenomenon, that kind of situation is the most terrifying in the true sense.
Because everything is unknown, uncertain and indescribable.
Therefore, it is impossible to make the best response in a targeted manner, whether it is offensive or defensive, and even blocking.
Undoubtedly, the unspeakable evil god that I encountered before is the best explanation for this concept. The other party doesn't even need to deliberately use any means at all, just his thoughts and even existence itself are enough to distort the world, kill common sense, and destroy the rules of reality. For such a goal, Yu Yan didn't feel that she and the others had any room to resist at all.
As for why the other party is so easy to talk to. She didn't doubt it.
After all, the relationship between the other party and Naiako seems to be enough to explain such a problem, and he and the others are only afraid that in the eyes of the outer god, they belong to completely incidental and inconspicuous things, less inconspicuous than the stones on the side of the road, more inconspicuous than the weeds in the green belt, and completely as small as dust.
Merely......
"But—even so, I'm well aware of this fact—but I still don't feel reconciled!"
As soon as she thought of this, Yu Yan almost couldn't help but let out a sad cry, for the magician who pursues the mysterious root, there is nothing more frustrating than this-
The supreme mystery is not simply a concept that exists there, but a transcendent being with consciousness and will. And he doesn't care about the tiny dust, ant-like things that seek Him, because there is no mortal thing beyond the realm of man who cannot accept the knowledge He gives, even if it is only a scale and a half claw, will go mad.
Because before that, before Naiko made a choice, the ubiquitous, omnipresent, and connected to all time and space of the Supreme Being also gave several other people the opportunity to fulfill a certain wish, and the mage girl was the first to make a choice but was denied, because she wanted to get the true mystery of the universe itself.
It's not that the other party can't do it, but her own strength is not enough to carry the mystery she prays for. Just like a hard disk with a capacity of only 500G, it must be loaded with all the information of the development of the entire human Internet, which is absolutely impossible, and the only result is that at the beginning of the moment, the entire hard disk is completely burned out due to overload.
……
……
The gunman held his eyebrows helplessly and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes...... It's really a great honor to have the experience of being able to see that level of existence and continue to live, how much of a brag do you have to go back to break the ceiling of this matter! ”
The big man opened his property page in distress and looked at it, and then his whole expression changed to an embarrassed look.
Although it is said to be so free and easy, human beings are greedy creatures! It's like a person with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, if he asks him to give you 2,000 yuan unconditionally, he will definitely not be happy. But if you tell him that he is going to lose his job, but there is a way for him to keep working, but his salary must be reduced by two thousand dollars a month...... In that case, he would definitely say yes.
This is actually the same reason, if the evil god is here for their lives at all, even if all the equipment is destroyed, skills, attributes and other powers are also deprived, as long as they can escape their lives, the gunman will definitely be thankful, and he will definitely not feel the slightest hesitation and reluctance for such a choice - after all, even his life is gone, what else is there to say.
But the evil god, who was so terrifying that people couldn't resist it, couldn't raise their minds to resist, didn't have the slightest malice or hostility towards them, and it was even easier to understand and communicate than expected, so ...... Instead, they feel sorry for their loss.
"It's okay, at least this artifact is in hand......"
The irregular spherical object in his hand looked like an egg-shaped object at first glance, but on closer inspection, there were many irregular planes, which obviously did not match the symmetrical and somewhat sharp shape of the double inverse pyramid. The gunman looked at that attribute, and finally felt a little comforted in his heart, this thing can indeed be regarded as an artifact.
The Lord of Billions of Radiance has reforged this shining trioctahedron, and now it is possible to establish contact with this thing by gazing, and then summon a simple six-star night demon to drive it as a servant demon......
Although it is said that it is Naiako and not Nyara Totep who establish the connection through this thing, and the Daredevil's kind of thing will still cause the corrosive effect of the polluting aura to the whole audience without distinguishing between the enemy and the enemy, these two aspects are more egg-breaking, but on the whole, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages, and there is no doubt that it is a real artifact of this level.
Shaking his head and putting his hands down, the gunman looked at the others.
In the room, the other girls all looked concerned, only the ayan, inexplicable Ayagozen, who didn't know how to win, listened to Yu Yan holding her hand beside her in confusion, chattering to comfort herself and tell what had happened in the past nearly a month-
Although she was the only one who was in a state of anxiety and panic, she suffered in fear for nearly a month. Others are inexplicable, and it was during this time that the fate of reincarnation was overturned, repeating this life process as many as twenty-seven times.
However, this is not a good thing, because for their subjective cognition, except for the inexplicable addition of some familiar sense of déjà vu in their minds, only time is inexplicably consumed for nearly a month, and there is no actual gain in addition.
Because this is simply the other party's behavior in Liwei, it is not a good intention to help them make full use of their time and overlap records to strengthen their own quality.
To be honest, a drink and a peck are not predetermined. Everything in the world has a fixed number, and it is all cause and effect.
The people who went there this time looked directly at the Daredevil incarnation and met one of the three pillars of the Cthulhu mythos, so although their minds were not destroyed, they were also damaged to a certain extent. Until now, they are still like this, although they are still generally conscious and not mad because of it, but they also know it......
Their memories are a little blurry, and their thinking seems to be a little chaotic, although they are still a hundred times faster than normal people, but it is indeed enough to prove that their intelligence and spirit have been damaged, not particularly serious but very obvious, if it is reflected in ordinary people, it is estimated that they have been crazy for a long time.
But in return for this line, Nayako needless to say, basically everyone gets a chance to make their wishes come true!
Although the young military general of Ayagozen won and did not suffer any damage, she lost such a chance to make a wish......
However, the former is not necessarily lucky, and the latter may not be really lost.
"Ahem, let's be quiet now, Yu Yan will put a soundproof barrier first-" The gunman coughed, attracting the attention of the chirping girls, "I won't talk about the previous things, that kind of thing will be related if you think about it a little, so put aside the controversy for the time being, I'm going to talk about the next second phase of the mission, do you have any ideas?" ”
“……”
“……”
"Don't be silent at this time! Is it true that your attention is completely drawn to that desire? ”
“……”
“……”
"Well, I knew that...... Anyway, with this equipment in hand, the task of killing Dagon in the second stage is not too difficult. The gunman was speechless for a moment, then simply turned his stool in the direction and looked at the other girls.
Because after all, it is the reason of the three teams, so everyone's location is actually different, this hotel is where Yu Yan and others live, Naiya Zi is in the downtown area, and the gunman is also in another place. It's just that now, it is impossible for Naiazi and the outer god incarnation to come here, and Yu Yan is the sister of the gunman, so they are just meeting here for the time being.
"Then let's talk about wishes, for such a thing—what do you think of?"
Maybe the gunman's expression was too serious, so Yu Yan was slightly startled and subconsciously frowned.
"Dude...... You mean, this wish is actually not a good thing? ”
"It's a good thing, why isn't it a good thing, if it's used well, not to mention the lost strength, it's okay to take a leap forward directly......" The gunner shook his head, he didn't feel that it was necessary to play word games with himself and others for that level of existence, "It's just that how to use it well is a problem, you have also heard, he doesn't plan to hide anything at all, and tells us directly about the problems that must be paid attention to......"
Everyone else subconsciously fell silent again, and the grandiose voice that shook the void of the universe seemed to sound in the depths of consciousness again.
The mage girl gritted her teeth unwillingly, repeating the words revealed by the evil god before.
"There is no such thing as omniscient and omnipotent in the true sense of the word, but for Him all our desires are fulfilled because what we think is logically paradoxical, what is impossible, what violates the law of cause and effect, is not really difficult for Him...... Just as primitive man thought that no one could master thunder, modern man was able to obtain the power of the sun through nuclear technology......"
"For the real 'God', the difference between God and man cannot be shown by words, and even if man exhausts the limits of his imagination, he cannot speculate about it...... So, for us, He is the Almighty God who can grant all desires in the true sense of the word. ”
……
……
At the same time, in the same city.
In the heart of the city, in the middle of another hotel.
"The difference between God and man is not entirely impossible to speculate—"
The faint sound was accompanied by a creak of the door opening. Dressed in black clothes similar to wizards' robes, the boy opened the door and walked straight through the hall, picked up flint and steel bars from a small table, and lit the candles in the wall-hung candlesticks decorated with arabesques.
He acted as if he were in his own home, completely ignoring the surprised eyes of the silver-haired girl who followed him.
One of the easiest ways to do this is to make a wish to God in order to test His limits. If God rejects your so-called 'unreasonable' desires and angrily rebukes your 'insatiable' demands, then it proves that the God you are dealing with has limits...... Although there are limits for everyone, it is undoubtedly a very sad thing that the limits of God can be tested by others, and it is also an omen......
At the end of his eloquent remarks, he asserted: "The gap between God and man is not so great as to make people hopeless and powerless. ”
"Listening to what you say, it's like instigating someone else to kill the gods, ......Yog-sensei," Naiko said, pouting, "and you're boasting so much, aren't you afraid that they will really make something that you can't fulfill?" At that time, if you plan to kill people in order to cover up this matter, can you tell me in advance and let me go? ”
"Don't say it so scary, Naiako, I've made it clear enough......"
The wizard-like boy with a mysterious feeling turned his head and showed a mouthful of snow-white teeth.
"From my own point of view, I do have things that I can't do, otherwise I wouldn't have hit you with my mind...... However, for you, I do not have any powerless flaws and loopholes, that is to say, human logic and imagination can only imagine the paradoxes that can only be touched by the limits of their thinking, but the narrow three-dimensional universe worldview is only my lower limit, your upper limit......"
The meaning is very clear, objectively his subject is indeed limited, but subjectively, at least from the perspective of human beings, his subject is unlimited.
What ants find impossible is easy for humans.
What humans find impossible is easy for the gods.
The reason for this is that the limitations of ants' thinking are not objective to human beings, and human subjective cognition is not objective to gods...... Maybe the paradox you think is fundamentally caused by cognitive errors, maybe what you think is impossible is fundamentally caused by the gap in the level of life, when the form of existence completely exceeds the limit of human thinking, then it can also be recognized as relative omniscient.
Because at least for human beings, even if they have exhausted their imagination and logical thinking, the paradoxes that can only be imagined are absolutely unsolvable from the perspective of time, space, dimensions, parallel worlds, and even higher levels.
“……”
Although the silver-haired girl also understood such a thing, she always felt very incredible, she hesitated and sat back on the bed, her two calves swayed, and after a while, she suddenly said: "If they ask you to 'have three more wishes', 'to become a being like you'...... What should you do with such a desire? ”
The young man replied lightly: "Just promise them directly." ”
"Wait, just say yes?"
"Oh, didn't you say it before, the desire of the essence that they themselves do not understand cannot be fulfilled. The essence of the wish is that you know how to achieve the goal, but only your own strength cannot achieve the goal, so you need to rely on external forces. - If they really make such a wish, the end will be very ...... Suffering. Unless they can completely cover the irrationality of such a wish with extremely rigorous logic, then it will inevitably become more and more wrong. ”
Shaking his head, the boy was no longer entangled in this topic, he looked at Nayako, his dark eyes were like a bottomless abyss containing countless black worlds and black suns.
"As for you, Naiako, you should be able to do it with eighteen more incarnations, this is the most basic requirement, and I won't be looking at you anymore - wait until you have completed this basic requirement, and then come here to me!"
"Wait, this is my room!!"
"Huh?"
"Humph! Never mind...... So, is there any time limit, Yog-sensei? And after all this is done, what is next, can you tell me a little bit about it? The silver-haired girl gritted her teeth tightly, and finally endured it, for such a teacher, she was actually very depressed by her nature, and she didn't dare to mess around with it, but she couldn't ask for it this time to get out for a short time!
"There's no time limit, as long as you don't somehow get caught in that place before you do it......"
The young man said in a loud voice: "As for the future, I will take you out of here and go back to the plane where you used to be at the beginning—you can also discuss this matter with them, and explain the customs and customs to them." ”
“…… Why? Do they want to take it with them, too? Naiyazi said strangely, feeling that she couldn't understand.
However, for this question, the other party just smiled and did not speak.
