Chapter Eighty-Four: In My Own Way (Two Chapters in One)
"I'm saving the world. There was no sorrow or joy, and it was unusually calm, and Shuer's tone was light, as if he was just stating a confirmed conclusion, "It's just that in my own way, it's just different from your method." ”
"Then what do you think we're doing?" Lord Anika, the lord of the forest, also interjected into the conversation, and there was a faint hint of anger in her originally jumping voice, no wonder she was angry, she had given quite a lot of support to Shul in the past few years, not only fulfilling all of Shuer's requests, but even entrusting him with the existential task of finding her own half-body, which showed her trust in Shuer. This is based on her knowledge of Shul and Luna, and she believes that both Shul and Luna genuinely love the world and are worthy of full cooperation. However, she never expected that Shuer would suddenly change her position at the last moment, and for a while the sense of betrayal of being deceived filled the personified heart of the forest goddess, but she couldn't do anything for a while, so she couldn't help but sneer, "Do you think that we are making a game?"
"Of course you are also 'trying' to save the world, there is no doubt about that. Shuer bowed calmly to the air, he believed that the gods could see his every movement at this time, "Our purpose is no different, we all want to continue this dream world, we want to save billions of living beings in the world, it's just ...... As I said earlier, our approach is not the same, because I think your approach is ...... It's not feasible. ”
"Huh?" "The gods are worthy of being gods, even if they are betrayed on the spot, and they have not yet recovered the initiative, they will not be overwhelmed by anxiety, even if every god is full of anger at this time, but when Shur mentions the key issue, the gods still habitually focus their attention.
"That's not going to work, ladies and gentlemen. Shul said slowly, "Just setting an alarm clock for the creator god to wake him up, for us is just jumping from one abyss to another, if we only do this, then we will not win at all, on the contrary, the result will be the same as the experience in my dream, and we will be sent to a dead end with our own hands." ”
"Shuer, please don't use the title 'we', at least not for the time being, or I'm worried that I won't be able to control my emotions. Gentle and subtle, peaceful as water, even if the goddess of water, Wendy, was full of anger, her voice was still calm like a lake, but there was already an undercurrent under the surface of the water, "No matter how you fight in the future, at least you still want to finish your words now, and we are the same, before the confrontation, we still want to hear your explanation and know why you are doing this." ”
"As you wish, Mistress Wendy. Shuer half-closed his eyes and sighed deeply regretfully, as if he was lamenting the friendly atmosphere between everyone in the previous years, but as soon as the sigh was broken, he regained his calm just now, and said leisurely, "The reason is that I think that it is impossible to achieve the goal only to this extent, and I want PCCJJK to remember us ...... This dream, you must give him a strong enough and sudden enough stimulation to wake him up directly, the more intense the stimulation, the more unexpected, the better the effect, at least every nightmare I can remember clearly, it meets these two conditions. ”
"Your lords' plan is too gentle, not exciting at all, how can it be possible for him to remember this dream? So I took it upon myself to help you adults correct the ritual, hehe, there are not many corrections, after all, it is not easy to modify the content on the basis of not changing the magic circle, it is too difficult, and my method really needs this ritual to go smoothly, at least continue according to my ideas. ”
"I do not doubt the veracity of your words, but they are very much in line with your personality, you have always liked to assert your opinions, and you have always spared your trust on key matters and never consulted with others. I don't doubt your purpose, Luna can't want to destroy the world, and since she is willing to cooperate with you, it means that you don't want to destroy the world, otherwise you can't convince her, you're right, your purpose is indeed the same as ours. In a short period of time, Lord Anika had already regained her senses, but her voice was cold and detached, as if she was treating a stranger, and a strange enemy, "So, what effect do you want to achieve?"
"Lord Anika, in your opinion, if you use the information of the ritual to amplify the effect, the information here is magnified countless times and sent directly into the sleeping consciousness of the creator god, and the message transmitted is a grand fireworks that affects all worlds, oh, second only to the light of creation. Shuer squinted his eyes and immersed himself in the imagination of the scene, and said softly, "Is this kind of information that has been magnified hundreds of millions of times a strong enough stimulus?"
"Do you want to ...... Take advantage of the characteristics of the ritual. The voice of the Lord of Wisdom was still extremely slow, but there was a little more horror in his tone, "Take advantage of its unstable energy and blow it up directly?"
"Heh, it's not accurate to say that it will blow it up, because when the energy it has accumulated climbs out of control, it will blow itself up, and I don't need to blow it up. Xiuer smiled reservedly and said affirmatively, "But the essence is the same, an energy stirring that affects all the spaces of the seven worlds should be enough to leave an unforgettable impression on PCCJJK." ”
"If so, why don't you put your ideas forward for discussion?" asked Mother Earth in a deep voice, "I've given you countless opportunities to tell you the truth, why don't you tell it?"
"Because it was strong enough, it had to be sudden enough, and I didn't know how to avoid his will, so I had to hide it in my heart. Shuer spread his hands and said helplessly, "And this is only my judgment, there is no theoretical basis, even if I put it forward, how can I persuade you to do what I think? ”
"Also, Lord Kaeya, at the end of our last secret conversation, I actually told you everything I was going to do, but unfortunately, you didn't seem to understand. ”
"Huh?"
"I told you about that nightmare of mine, oh, not in your dream, but the nightmare that belonged only to me, and I mentioned it several times, just to tell you what I was going to do. The corners of Shuer's mouth suddenly showed a strange smile, but it immediately disappeared, as if it had never been revealed, "What is the nature of that nightmare, or did you tell me personally, and you should know very well what I did in the 'dream'." I mentioned it again and again just to prepare you for the trend in my dreams, but unfortunately, you didn't understand what I was saying. ”
"Original...... That's what you're talking about. Mother Earth paused, apparently Suel's answer was somewhat unexpected.
"And, Lord Anika, I have revealed the most crucial point to you, just when I went out of my way to talk to you in secret. Turning in the direction of the forest goddess, Shur bowed apologetically again, "No, it should be said that I have revealed to every adult that at the meeting of mortals and gods in the Rose Capital, I once deliberately said when I concluded that these magic circles supervised by me personally represent my true intentions, witness my loyalty to all of you, and I also showed you the images of the whole process of drawing each planet magic circle." Oh, if you can find clues from the subtle changes in the process, maybe you can see through my conspiracy in time, but it's a pity...... Pity. ”
"Do you want anyone to stop you?" After all, some gods didn't know enough about Shu'er's character, and at this time, a certain god asked the puzzle in his heart, "You don't actually know that you must be right, right?" ”
"No, if I didn't believe I was right, I wouldn't do it at all. Shuer sighed and said regretfully, "I just hope that there will be an adult who can see through my thoughts and realize my intentions and stand on my side, so it's a pity that my wish has been disappointed." ”
"Do you think it's possible?" said Mother Earth in a gloomy voice, "You should know how serious the consequences of what you have done. ”
"Yes. After being silent for a long time, Xiuer nodded, "According to my original plan, most of the seven worlds will be destroyed, and many civilizations will be wiped out of the void unconsciously. ”
"However, after the changes made by our lord, the blueprints of the circle have become a lot milder, the death toll has dropped sharply, although it is still a lot, and the damage that you will receive is still unavoidable, but it has also weakened a lot. ”
"But the consequences are still so severe, how can we agree that the existing civilization will be at least half destroyed. Anika, the goddess of the forest, who held a part of the authority over life, said in a cold voice, "More importantly, all the mortals who participate in the ritual, these mortals who trust you so much, they don't have the strength to withstand it like us, and when the ritual explodes, they will be annihilated by the violent energy in an instant. Besides, have you ever thought that those friends who have entrusted their lives to you are likely to die in this accident because of your actions, you ......"
"Any success comes with sacrifice, and that's the price of success. Shul interrupted Lord Anika for the first time, squinting his eyes and saying in a deep voice, "In order for this world to have a future, for the more people who will exist in the future, it is worth the sacrifice. As for them...... I told you the first time we met, I'm just using them, I never like to lie, it's just that you don't want to believe the truth. But admittedly, I'm sorry that they have betrayed their trust, so if they fight me like I dreamed of, or even kill me in the end, I won't complain, after all, everyone believes that they are right, and wants to save the world in their own way. ”
"Good, I see. The Goddess of the Forest Statue was completely disappointed, "It seems that it is useless to say anything, you must stick to your plan at all costs and blow up this ritual." ”
"Yes, because I firmly believe that this is the way to save the world. Xiu'er nodded seriously and said, "The energy of the ritual circle is on the verge of a critical point, and I have been aiming for this since the beginning, heh, it is the first time that I feel that I am so close to success." ”
"Yes, that's what you wanted to do in the first place, so when you saw that we were about to restrain the energy increase of the circle, you would jump out and fight for control of the circle, just to prevent us from stopping the circle energy from continuing to climb. Mother Earth finally straightened everything out and sighed, "But I'd love to know, how did you do it? This is not something that mortal consciousness can do, I thought Luna was operating behind the scenes, but I have already found out just now, Luna only has a part of her power left here for you to mobilize to confuse us, as for her will, she has long been out of here, this is also your idea, not to let her be involved in the ritual at all, and she will not be severely damaged in the collapse of the ritual." ”
"Oh, my lord didn't want to leave, but I persuaded her in the end. Shure was just stating, not smug about his success in convincing Lord Luna, "After all, she is needed in the future." ”
"Future?" said Master Anika scoffingly, "Regardless of feasibility, even if your plan succeeds and Parvadiga survives, do you think you still have a future?"
"Since I have taken this step, I am already ready for martyrdom, and I know this without you reminding me. Shuer said calmly, "I originally planned to exclude my lord and completely hide her from her, but unfortunately I failed, not only did I not hide her, but she also insisted on getting involved. That's fine, and you don't need to bother to arrange anything for the future. However, during this vacuum period when you are injured, you still need to have gods to maintain the order of the rift space, so I said that she is still needed in the future, and as for the future after you recover, heh......"
"Are you so sure you'll succeed?" Mistress Kaeya asked, "You haven't answered my question yet, how did you go beyond the limits of mortals and fight us for control of the circle without Luna's help?"
"Because I have helpers?" Shul smiled faintly, "I have one of the best lieutenants, better in calculation than all the mortals of Parvadiga combined, she is in charge of calculations, I am in charge of execution, and with the loopholes I left in the circle, it is not difficult to fight for control." ”
With Shuer's words, his pocket squirmed, and a miniature version of Wei came out of his pocket, swayed onto his shoulder, and gave a meticulous military salute as usual.
"Report to the sir, manipulation continues to be severely disrupted, and control has been lost by forty percent. ”
