Chapter 36: Accidents
Awkward silence, Shuer himself knows that this question is too straightforward to accept, but the stakes are high, and someone must do this kind of bad guy.
"Are you still alive?" Unexpectedly, Anika was not dissatisfied, but asked lightly, "How can you be sure that you are still alive?"
"Uh......" Shure was stunned by the question, and for a moment he really didn't know how to answer, this is not a philosophical sophistry about how to prove that he is still alive, but a question of how to be sure, of course I am still alive, am I alive, can't I feel it?
However, he understood what Anika meant, and it was obvious that Anika was sure that his other half still existed, because although they were separated, the two sides were still one in essence, and they were not ordinary mortal creatures but gods, and it was impossible for one of them to have disappeared but the other party still existed, and the power brought by divinity might also give them some special induction, so Anika was so sure that his other half was still wandering inside the rift.
"I can only explain it from the beginning. Anika sighed, manipulating Minnie's body, lying on the ground with her four hooves bent comfortably, no wonder Lin Jing is so skilled, is it really a habit passed down from his ancestors, "I won't explain the reason, it's no different from your Luna, it's just that she chose to try to relieve stress, and I chose to explore the root, you are Luna's disciple, you should know better." ”
"Yes. Shur bowed down seriously, as a god, for the sake of the mortal world, not only willing to take risks himself, but also used such extreme means as tearing himself apart, although there is a reason for self-preservation, but it is enough to win the respect of mortals, "Praise the Holy Spirit, God loves the world, holy." ”
"No one knows my true intentions, although I have mentioned it to other gods before, but it is said that I agreed with 'someone' god that he will enter the rift, as for who a certain god is, even Wendy and Flora don't know, it's not that I don't believe them, but I'm too weak in that state, so I have to keep it strictly secret, let them know, and bear this pressure with me, there's no need. So, hiding from all the gods, after completing the split, I chose a small large rift outside the planet and walked in. ”
"You walked in?"
"Yes, how do you explain it? Anika frowned, as if she was worried about how to explain to Shul and Moriah in human language, "The other half is also me, but it is a little different from me, ah, by the way, didn't you once split the fragment of consciousness into the Great Rift? It's similar to that feeling, the fragment is you, the body is also you, the only difference between us is that my will is stronger than yours, I can control two of myself at the same time without interfering with each other." It's not right, it's still not comprehensive......"
"Well, Anika-sama, I guess I understand. Xiuer also frowned, subconsciously tapped his thigh, and said thoughtfully, "But if that's the case, you should be able to know the condition of the other half." And since it is the same consciousness as yours, there will definitely be a spiritual induction, the great rift has been opened so many times in Pavatiga before, how can your other half be able to get it back if you follow the induction. ”
"That's the crux of the matter. Anika said with a wry smile, "I underestimated the danger inside the Great Rift, contact ...... Disconnected. ”
"Huh?"
"If you have entered too much of a chasm with your consciousness, you should know how difficult it is to form a connection with your consciousness alone in the great chasm. Anika explained, "The inside of the rift is constantly consuming the consciousness information that leaves the body, and the loss is proportional to the duration and distance, and the deeper you go, the greater the consumption. ”
Yes, Shur understood that what Anika said was right, and this was the biggest reason why the gods could not use their will to explore the world inside the rift, and had to enter in their own form. He carried the beliefs of tens of millions of people who continued to generate and condensed into one and wrapped himself in fragments of consciousness, and even so, he still failed dozens or hundreds of times before he barely succeeded, and it is not surprising that Anika simply relied on her own existence to maintain the connection with consciousness, because her existence was exhausted and the connection was broken.
After the connection was interrupted, his own consciousness fragments lost their protection and dissipated instantly in the rift, but what Anika entered was the main body, which was not as fragile as Shuer's consciousness fragments, so naturally it was not so easy to dissipate, so the two sides completely lost contact, and the other half could only continue to drift in the depths of the rift.
"Well, I can understand. Shuer sighed and asked, "Can you elaborate on the specific situation at that time?"
"Everything was normal at first, and unlike the two of you, I know how to operate normally inside the Great Rift. Anika nodded, and continued to explain, "I've advanced about seven units within the Great Rift......"
"Huh, what's that?"
"The inside of the Great Rift is not a normal space, and the concept of distance that you understand has no meaning in it, I measure it by another standard, and you can't understand it yet, so let's take it as a special unit of distance. Obviously, explaining such an esoteric question to a mortal was quite distressing to Anika, after all, the gods' understanding of the present world was fundamentally different from that of mortals, "In short, this particular distance is not too far, and only fifteen minutes have passed on Parvatiga's side. ”
"At this time, the progress is quite smooth, although I don't know if it's because of bad luck, or the particularity inside the rift, I didn't encounter any material existence along the way, but at least I can move normally in the rift, and I can sense the energy inside the rift in all directions, heh, I support your speech at the meeting that day, at least at that distance, I didn't sense any unobservable energy existence, just the loss of existence for no reason. ”
And so it was. Shul smiled a little ugly, and his guess was partially confirmed, but it didn't make people happy at all, "That'...... What about the Void Spirits?"
"There are a lot of Void Evil Spirits, and it can be said that they are endless, but they actually don't mean anything to the gods, so I don't particularly care about them. ”
"Well, you can imagine. Shure sighed, "Please continue." ”
"Maybe it's because it's going too well, I'm a little careless, I need to do a lot of things, well, that's what Luna did before, not only to maintain the Great Rift and not let it expand or close, but also to prevent the Void Evil Spirit from pouring out of the rift, bringing disaster to Pavatiga, and at the same time, to hide the existence of the rift so that too many gods don't know, in addition, the other half has to constantly expand the scope of vision and explore the inside of the rift, and the experience at that time is also insufficient, and it is not like Luna who has an ontological planet to use, so it is more busy, so that I neglect to protect the connection of consciousness, and as a result, after I continued to move forward for a distance, the connection began to become very shaky. ”
"Why didn't you withdraw?" said Shure, with a tense expression, "It's still too late." ”
"It's late, no, it stands to reason that it should be in time, I can't be so reckless to go too deep, but unfortunately, there was a little accident here. Anika smiled bitterly, "With the unstable connection, the rift exit of Pavatiga has also become very unstable, and it has begun to expand violently outward, I must divide most of my will to suppress the rift opening, otherwise, the rift opening is very likely to expand to the point where we cannot control it in a very short time, and if we really get to that point, everything will be over." ”
"Tough choice. ”
"Yes, maybe it's too late to withdraw the other half first and then suppress the swelling big rift, so as not to cause irreparable impact, but that's just maybe, I didn't dare to gamble with Pavatiga's fate, but chose a more secure method, first suppressing the rift opening with all my might, but unfortunately, in the process of dealing with the rift opening, the connection with the other half was completely severed. ”
Shure sighed softly, not knowing what to make of Anika's choice, in fact, according to her previous introduction, as long as the other half withdrew a little and brought the distance closer, the connection between the two sides was likely to become stable again, since it was not to withdraw to Pavatiga proper, this process might not take long, and the remaining time was enough for her to suppress the rift opening. But this is not 100% insurance, so she instinctively chose to stabilize the rift, and for this reason she did not hesitate to lose contact with her other half, heh, one or two are like this, it should be said, is this the characteristic of the gods of Parvatiga?
"Haven't you tried to reconnect with your significant other?"
"Do you think it's possible?"
Shuer smiled bitterly, of course it was impossible, he just asked with the last hope. The kite can be controlled by the person who flew the kite because there is a kite string connected to it, and once the kite string is broken in the middle of the flight, how can it be reconnected.
"Well, I guess I understand the situation. Shuer pondered for a while without saying a word, then suddenly raised his head and said, "As agreed before, I will enter the Great Rift to find the other half of your body for you, but this process requires the cooperation of you and my lord, well, it mainly depends on your strength to ensure that Moria and I will not be erased by the Great Rift." ”
"As it should be. Anika gave Shul a deep look, "I don't think Luna would object." ”
"So what do we do if we're lucky enough to find your significant other?"
"You don't have to worry about that. The forest goddess explained, "It's actually another me, it's just that the knowledge of more than a thousand years has not converged, and nothing else will change, so as soon as you find her, she will naturally come back with you when she sees Moria." Besides, I won't descend on Moria's body, but like Luna, I'll always keep my eyes on her, sense my power, and she knows what to do. ”
"Well, in that case, it's time to look into something deeper. Shure squinted his eyes and asked, "Do you have any plans for this trip?"
"Not at all. ”
"Huh?"
