"I have proof, hard evidence. ”

“......”

Lu Huai patted Iroh's head twice, the corners of his mouth raised, and he returned to his original position. It is the posture of a sage who grasps everything, thinks everything, understands everything, feels everything, and evaluates everything.

"Now that you've spied into a corner of the real world through the Key, you should also know a fact, a fatal fact about me and you. Or have you already figured out how to avoid this fact?"

"......" This time, Iroh didn't say a word.

Hope is gone, there is no hope, and once the last trump card is touched, everything that Iroh has tried before, all those bluffs will be in vain.

"My premise is omniscient, I know everything you've been through, and I know anything that happens in this fictional world, so do you think there will be a problem with my judgment and conclusion?"

“......”

Iroh bowed his head.

"Therefore, I can tell you unequivocally that your memory, your strength, and all the efforts you have made so far are indeed the author's arrangement. Actually, it was because the author wanted you to ask a lot of questions to question me, so that you wouldn't be knocked down so easily, so you had that idea. ”

"But unfortunately, according to the author's premise, you will stop here - after all, tragedy is always more impressive than comedy, right?"

Lu Huai calmly drank the tea again and poured himself a third cup of tea from the teapot, "And I also know that the author is just an ordinary person in the outside world, and if he wants to look good, usually a tragic ending is naturally easier to sublimate the theme than a comedy ending." ”

"—On the false vs. the real, the subject. ”

“......”

The sound of swallowing tea resounded throughout the silent space, revealing an elegant figure that seemed so out of reach to Eloh.

"Luwai, don't forget that I'm here to break this world, to defeat you. ”

"So, if you defeat me, or kill me, will you get the truth you want? Kill me and you can tamper with history? Kill me and erase the truth? Kill me and make you feel at ease? Then, I won't resist, let's do it. ”

Lu Huai is still at ease, just like a teacher dealing with elementary school students.

"No, I don't care what the real situation is, the truth itself has no meaning, I don't care what the truth looks like, only the way we look at the truth can have an impact on the present. So, if the truth makes people sink, if the truth disappoints people, if the truth makes people sad and painful. Then it's up to me to tamper with the truth, and it's up to me to kill you—Luhuai, let me kill your false truth!"

There seemed to be a fire burning in Eloh's eyes, and he pressed closer and tighter, and his tone became firm.

"You read my memories? You know the truth of the world? You understand everything about this world? You know what happened to me? You know what I've been through?"

"That's right. ”

"So what?!"

"Then I would know that all this was a fabrication of the author's falsehood, and that even if you questioned me, it was only an inevitability that was destined to happen a long time ago. ”

"You're wrong!"

“......？”

"Even if you know people and everything in the world, you can't know what a person will do, what the world as a whole will be!"

"Eloh, you know what? In addition to the innate factors, there are also acquired encounters to build a personality, and if I know all this, I can judge what kind of person he is. In the same way, as long as I know everything about the world, I can understand what the nature of the world is. ”

"You're wrong again! You're so self-righteous, Luhuai! By the time you say that, you're far from the truth. Even if we only talk about the human aspect, the shaping of a personality, the innate factors, and the acquired encounters, although it sounds very reasonable, but it is ...... Hum. ”

"Am I not right?"

"You're not right, you don't understand people's hearts at all. ”

"And what do you think?"

"Innate factors are indispensable, acquired encounters are indispensable, but more importantly, the person, their own thoughts. It's not because of what happened that we became, but because of how we faced it, we became what we became. The same is true for the world, not because of the trajectory of all things in the world, which leads to the nature of the world, but because the nature of the world determines the behavior of all things in it. ”

"In the simplest terms, essence determines phenomena, but there is no way to deduce essence from phenomena, at most it can only be infinitely close!"

Iroh took a deep breath.

"You think you can understand people's hearts and control the world, but that's just a fantasy of your own. ”

"What reason do you have to say that I don't understand people's hearts?"

"Because you, Luw, are not 'human' at all. ”

The atmosphere fell silent again.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Order of the Dimension, Luw. ”

Iroh sighed: "I've been talking about maintaining order, so, what kind of order are you maintaining?"

"Naturally, it is the order that keeps the world running smoothly and does not completely lose its balance. Lu Huai swallowed the third cup of tea, but did not continue to pour it.

"If that's the case, then why didn't you come and talk to me about these things until I was already at my peak?"

"As you said earlier, I came to question you as the author's arrangement, so according to this logic, these words you said to me must also be the author's arrangement......?

Since everything is arranged by the author, he will definitely not allow his fictional characters to realize the truth and consciously rebel against this kind of thing. In other words, as you said, all my efforts are also predetermined 'plots'. ”

"So that's the problem: if the author is really in control, then what is your role? The heart doesn't deceive, and I can feel what you just said to me, and you really don't want me to destroy the world, and not just because you are it. ”

"Oh, sure enough, I'll say something more interesting when I refute it, Iroh. ”

"So I didn't have such a guess until just now...... That is—this world is not a fictional world created by some author, at least there is no such thing as an omniscient and omnipotent author. But the reason why you say these things to me, leading me to imagine the existence of an author, is that you are actually using the power of your edification and faith to want me to admit that everything about myself is under the control of others......"

"The author does not exist, if you have to say that it exists, then Luwai, you ...... In fact, it is the so-called author!"

"You mean, I, Lu Huai, am the author himself?"

"The true creator and guardian of this world, to be precise. ”

"And how do you explain everything you see through the 'key'?"

"The key is in your hands. As mentioned in the aforementioned setting, the two forces of indoctrination and faith can defeat the enemy without blood, so your attack actually started when we first met. ”

Lu Huai couldn't stop laughing, this was a laugh that he really thought was funny.

“......”

Suddenly, he stopped, still staring at Iroh with a smile and a gentle gaze.

"How do you know, Eloh, all this?"

"I guess. ”

"You guess?"

"Because, whether this world is written by the author or not, I believe that the ending of the story will be bright, and along the way, the road of hundreds of thousands of years should not be exchanged for just a sentence of 'plot arrangement'. And the truth you are saying is full of darkness, and I don't like it, so I guess like this. Hopefully, my guess, this story will be able to give this story a happy ending. ”

"So, you guessed it, I'm the creator and guardian of this fictional world, but that's not proof to support your hypothesis. ”

"That's enough. ”

"Enough, isn't your purpose to tamper with the truth?"

"Yes. ”

"But you have not proved at all that the tampered story you are telling is true. ”

"No, I have succeeded in proving that you have tampered with the original facts. You use your ability to parse history from the negative and put all those who dare to question you under your control. In other words, the facts you are talking about are all things that have been smeared by darkness, not true, but false. ”

The next moment, Lu Huai laughed out loud for the first time.

"Hahaha...... You've succeeded, you've succeeded...... In the future, what I say will be false, and you have succeeded in stealing my power. Is this what it is called, that the new will replace the old......

Iroh looked at each other in silence, without a hint of joy. At the moment when the last door in black and white was also opened by his own hands, there was no imaginary excitement, and his mood was extremely calm.

"But-" Lu Huai paused, with a slight determination in his eyes, "I still want to continue to struggle with this old thing......"

"Boom!"

As Lu Huai's words fell, the "oneness" began.

This is the ultimate secret technique that allows Lu Huai between different dimensions to exist in the same dimension, and it is also the only hole card left after Lu Huai loses the two abilities of indoctrination and faith!

The shape of the wolf orc who was originally sitting in front of Arrow was directly shattered, and then a huge and matchless wolf orc phantom suddenly rose from the fragments, and in just a few blinks, it became many times larger.

“...... Normalize, now you really only have this means. ”

A minute passed, and the shadow in front of him was so large that it was difficult to describe in words, his eyes were like a huge galaxy surrounded by thousands of stars, and his slightly open mouth was as deep as a black hole, and even an inadvertent inhalation was enough to swallow thousands of planets.

And Lu Huai's body can't be exhausted with his eyesight, even if Iroh tries his best to look down, he can only see a small part of Lu Huai's abdomen, and as for the lower body, it is directly submerged in the vast universe.
