Chapter 3: Three Kinds of Authority
In the second seat on the right, an existence who seemed to have a higher status than the 'Withered Tree' spoke.
"Because of the rules, everything makes sense."
"We should do things according to the rules, always remember the rules in our hearts, and use the rules to restrain chaos."
"According to the rules, since he is sitting here, at the same table as us, then he has the right to share all this, to share our food."
Food?
Gu Xiao didn't look at the speaker in the second seat on the right for the first time, but looked at the dining table.
What will these strange beings be like?
On a whole dining table, there is only one white plate on which the so-called 'food' is placed.
On the plate, a strange figure gradually became clear in his eyes: it was a strange giant baby that looked like a maldeveloped embryo, as if it had been pulled out of the womb, and an umbilical cord connected to the unknown void.
It kept moving in the womb, its body slightly bent, and its two small hands reached out to the huge head.
Relative to its head, its body resembles a withered body, with a dry gray-green skin attached to the pale bones, and even the shape and number of ribs under the skin can be seen.
But its large, faceling-like head was full and watery, smooth and transparent, like a balloon filled with water. Under the scalp that was stretched out and seemed transparent, Gu Xiao could see a fresh and full brain developing.
Seeing this strange 'food', Gu Xiao suddenly lost interest in eating.
And as if noticing Gu Xiao's gaze, Mr. 'Withered Tree', who was sitting in the third seat on the left, also deliberately explained with great interest.
"How? Dude, it's definitely the perfect food! β
"Fresh, newborn divinity, I can even smell the regularity from the milky scent it inadvertently emanates."
"Suck ~ perfect!"
"The law of conception and birth, with some maritime flavors."
"That's right! Isn't there a saying in human beings that life comes from the ocean? I am not at all surprised that the authority of birth will appear with the fragments of the authority of the sea. β
"What really excites me is that this authority, which connects the sea and birth, can be so compatible with my authority!"
Ocean?
Gu Xiao took a closer look, but he didn't expect to really see the element of the sea on that 'food'.
It turned out that between the five fingers on its thin and shriveled little hands, it was not scattered and broken, but connected together webbed.
The five fingers are connected by a thin, transparent membrane, and if the palm of the hand is opened, the five palms connected by the membrane will be the best swimming tool in the water.
The 'Withered Tree' looked at the second seat on the right and suggested with a little excitement, "How is it, pointer?" Distribute it to me today. β
"I am in charge of life and death, and the roar of the sea and the pacification are but playthings in my hands, and today's food is the best for me to enjoy."
Gu Xiao looked at the 'pointer', wanting to see how Mr. 'pointer' reacted.
The 'pointer' was also wearing a black cloak.
But under the cloak is not an octopus head like the 'Withered Tree'.
Mr. Pointer's head is a huge white eyeball. On the white background of the eyeball, there are dense scales and rulers engraved on it.
From small to large, four rings are encircled around the white eyeballs, and the four rings are interspersed and spiraled with each other, and countless scales and hands are also engraved on them.
From ancient sundials and hourglasses to clocks and pocket watches, to modern atomic clocks and quantum clocks, to strange tools for recording time that Gu Xiao had never heard of.
Mr. 'Pointer' seems to be a depiction of the creature's concept of nothingness 'time', with a series of timelines arranged behind Mr. 'Pointer' forming a long river of time, and a flickering overlapping illusory door also opening behind Mr. 'Pointer'.
Gu Xiao wondered, why didn't he fall into endless madness like he had seen Mr. 'Withered Tree' before?
Obviously, he is a higher level than Mr. 'Withered Tree', and he should have lost his mind and fallen into madness.
He reacted immediately.
At this time, all he saw should have passed through the 'cognitive filtering disorder' of the right eye.
And the endless knowledge and information, all kinds of pictures that he can neither understand nor observe, should be cut off from the filter barrier by his right eye.
Mr. Pointer muttered for a moment, "According to the rules, the day a new diner joins the feast, the food should go to the new diner as a congratulatory gesture to him. β
"But according to the rules, I do not have the right to make the final decision, and the trial and execution shall be left to you, Your Majesty."
The second half of Mr. Pointer's sentence is said to the end of the dining table, and the 'crown' in the words undoubtedly points to the existence at the end of the table.
Gu Xiao looked in the direction of the end, wanting to find out the heroic appearance of one or two beings who could be called 'under the crown' by Mr. 'Pointer'.
But unexpectedly, all he saw was a chaotic gray fog.
The gray mist flowed like water, boundless.
It was obviously just a gray mist in the banquet hall, but it gave Gu Xiao an illusion of boundlessness.
Or this is not an illusion at all, but a hint given to Gu Xiao by the 'cognitive filter barrier' of the right eye, that existence, infinite and infinite.
The 'Grey Mist' struck the table twice, and an indifferent voice rang out in the ballroom.
"According to the pointers, Dagon belongs to the newcomers."
The moment His words landed, the world involuntarily acted according to His will.
The only 'food' on the table, the strange big-headed baby 'Dagon', suddenly appeared under the swirling gray vortex.
The vortex swirled to break down the 'Dagon', and the gray-green skin of the big-headed baby turned into three points of light in the gray vortex.
The three points of light merged into Gu Xiao's right eye, and he automatically clarified the authority represented by the three points of light.
There is a green one for life, a blue one for the ocean, and the last one for a gray-brown color that does not know the meaning.
The gray-brown color also quickly revealed its meaning under the analysis of the right eye, which seemed to represent a race, the deep divers?
After enjoying the food, Gu Xiao only felt extremely heavy in his body.
As if three weights had suddenly been added to the originally empty balloon, his consciousness fell rapidly from the clouds and fell back into his own body.
"Wow! Ahem, ahemβ"
Gu Xiao suddenly broke free from the yellow vesicle and coughed vigorously to the ground.
Yellow pus, wriggling worms, were coughed up from his trachea and lungs.
On the lord system panel in front of him, it shows that his talent has awakened.
