Chapter 72: Ambition
The train of thought was opened......
There was no more distress on the young countenance, for Mephistopheles felt as if she had grasped some great information. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since returning from the slaughter of the Fallen, Mephistopheles has deliberately controlled herself not to remember the incident. He even claimed that he had killed the Bartow Flame Demon and not the unevolved Flo Demon in order to confuse those behind it, even though he knew it was useless.
Fear?
There must have been some, otherwise Mephistopheles wouldn't have killed Flomo before he could complete his evolution, and then left there as fast as he could without even collecting his soul. He knew that these were the sugarcoats given to him by the people behind them, but he didn't accept them as readily as he usually would, because he wasn't sure that he would be able to spit out the poison wrapped in them in time when he ate the sugarcoating.
Therefore, he can only choose to escape, even if it makes him fall into passivity.
There is no way, Io's name is too loud, Mephistopheles can fight for his life to lay out the Lord of Dawn, but he does not have the slightest confidence to calculate the king of the gods who is in charge of "destiny".
It's not cowardice, it's a clear perception of oneself.
"Time" and "fate" are probably the two areas that the most strategists hate to oppose, the former can see the future, the latter can plan the future, and the gap it brings is definitely not something that can be made up by layout and cleverness.
This is true for everyone else, and it is also true for Mephistopheles now, at least his calculations and exploitation of desires are definitely not as strong as the cause and effect outlined by Io on the "Clay Tablet of Fate".
It is precisely because of this that even if he is angry that Io has calculated on his head, the devil can only suppress the anger in his heart and try to avoid the trap laid by the other party, waiting for the next day to "repay".
Of course, Mephistopheles was also suspicious of what happened to him in the cave, not only because Io should still be asleep, but also because the other party's method of calculating him was so simple that he wondered if the other party was using this to beat him instead of calculating him.
However, no matter how much doubt he had in his heart, he didn't think about anything else, after all, no life in the material world except for Io dared to put his hand into the realm of the river of fate. Arousing the wrath of the God King is a trivial matter, but causing the will of the world to backlash is a big matter.
It is this common sense that obscures the devil's insight into the truth, and makes him subconsciously avoid the places that make him wonder when he thinks.
But nothing is absolute, just now, his unintentional annoyance reminded himself, not only opened his limited thinking completely, but also allowed him to connect the cause and effect of the matter.
It is natural that Count Chenault is not recorded by the "River of Fate", no matter how special he is, in the final analysis, he is just an incarnation of Mephistopheles, not an independent life, and of course it is impossible to be "recorded".
Unlike the incarnation of the gods, the incarnation refined by Mephistopheles does not have its own subordinate consciousness, and both the incarnation and the ontology are manipulated by his own main consciousness.
Perhaps for other beings, two bodies and one soul are extremely painful, but for the devil whose life form is extremely close to the soul body, it should be the best way to describe it.
It's like someone can control his own severed arm, but no matter how delicately he manipulates it, he can't treat him as two living beings, right?
Therefore, the river of fate will only record Mephistopheles's past, and as for the actions made by Cheno, they are also counted on Mephistopheles's head, far from having a record of fate independent of the deity like the incarnation of the gods.
The disadvantage of this is that once a strong person can spy on the flow path of the "River of Destiny", then Mephistopheles's incarnation is easy to expose even if it is well hidden, and the advantage is that the incarnation and the body can do different things at the same time, such a record will make his own fate more unpredictable in the eyes of outsiders, and it is extremely difficult to be snooped on by others.
For Mephistopheles, the so-called disadvantages are not very serious, except for Io, who is already close to the law of incarnation, he does not believe that anyone else can truly explore his past and possible future recorded by the river of fate.
Even if the other party sees some clips, they will be overturned because of the different results they get when they confirm it. When he finds that every result obtained by repeated verification is not the same, the so-called peeping and calculation is just a joke.
Of course, the hapless prophet would not have known that the different outcomes he had seen might all be true, the difference being that some belonged to the ontology and some belonged to the incarnation.
As for Io, there is no need to worry about anything, the future and past of life in the entire material world, the only thing that is not within Io's understanding is probably the god of death in the underworld. For this kind of life like the will of the world, vigilance and worry will definitely not have any positive effect except to turn yourself into a frightened bird.
However, Mephistopheles knew that Chenno was special because he was his own incarnation, but the others didn't.
The devil, who had avoided his own psychological blind spots, suddenly discovered that from the perspective of others, Count Chenault was a special person who was not in the "River of Destiny" record, and such a special person was enough to attract the attention and ambition of the Lord of Dawn.
So, he made a bold assumption, what if the Lord of Dawn was not targeting him, but Io, who was still sleeping?
In this way, in order to be able to calculate Io, who is in charge of fate, Cheno, who is not in the record of the river of fate, has become an extremely important chess piece.
As soon as this hypothesis came out, Mephistopheles subconsciously wanted to deny himself, but he quickly reacted, because although the idea was a bit crazy and contrary to traditional logic, there seemed to be no reason to deny it other than that.
And if this assumption is taken as a conclusion, then all the previous doubts become reasonable. All things were connected by this thread, and the devil had a peculiar premonition that he seemed to have touched the edge of the truth.
When the first assumption is true, it is time to make other assumptions based on logic.
At this time, you must not consider the rationality first, otherwise it is easy to let your thinking fall into a dead knot.
It's like playing a jigsaw puzzle or a hexahedral Rubik's cube, when the first step is established, the first thing is to piece together a rough framework, and the internal rationality can only be considered after a rough understanding and construction of the whole, and the one-sided pursuit of perfection will only make everything a mess.
The devil knew this very well, so his reasoning became more and more daring. He even took some of the speculations he had just made as a conclusion in order to fully restore the whole event.
What if what he encountered was not Io's means, or even anyone's calculations, but a kind of compensation given to him by the will of the world?
When this idea becomes a reality, then the Lord of the Dawn must have learned about the particularity of Mephistopheles through some kind of deductive means, and because Cheno's attraction is likely to cause Mephistopheles' true identity to be exposed, so under the rules of equivalent exchange, the will of the world gave Mephistopheles some compensation, and also reminded Mephistopheles in disguise.
The reason why the devil can get the compensation and some "favoritism" of the will of the world is not only because he has received some special care, but also because the Lord of the Dawn has directly used some kind of equivalent exchange means in order to prevent the sleeping Io from waking up, without using the law of fate to deduce.
Naturally, the will of the just world "directly" sent compensation to Mephistopheles and "reminded" him to be safe.
Of course, this is just the "self-feeling" of the will of the world, and Mephistopheles is not a roundworm in its stomach, if it weren't for the coincidence, I'm afraid he wouldn't have thought of going up in this regard until he died, and he always thought that he was being calculated by others......
"If this is really what I imagined, then the ambition of the Lord of the Dawn is clear......"
Stretching out his hand to straighten his collar, Mephistopheles changed his solemn expression, imitating the tone that existed in his imagination and said, "Your Excellency, Io, you have been asleep for too long, so please sleep forever!"
After teasing the ambitious Lord of Dawn, Mephistopheles fell into deep thought, he needed to prepare a series of detailed plans for himself, so that he could fish in troubled waters in the game between the old and the new kings. Of course, before setting a plan, he has to make sure that his guess is correct or not......
