Chapter 287: While You Haven't Fallen Asleep yet
Minoni turned her gaze to look at him as she always did.
Looking at those bright eyes, Luo Wei strengthened his inner thoughts.
He said, "Soon, the world will be completely destroyed." I don't have enough evidence to link the dots, but I'm afraid it's not related to the Third World you mentioned. ”
In fact, Luo Wei remembered the prophecy mentioned by the former head of the Arashi Temple.
"The Second Meeting of Worlds".
If the war between the ancient gods and the present gods 1,200 years ago was the "first rendezvous", then the formation of the third world now does create the possibility of a "second rendezvous".
Now the world of the present gods has not been restored, and the world of the ancient gods has also been extremely activated by the leylines after the end of the god war.
The consequences of one more time are unimaginable.
Maybe the Templar's words weren't true, but the destruction of the world was something that Rowe had personally experienced, and if he didn't make a change, he was sure that it would happen.
Concisely expressed to Minonia, the girl showed a slightly thoughtful expression.
"Your assumption is that they'll be back."
"Eltina's "Salvation Tea Party", I think, was also to prevent this, in fact...... "Rowe paused, wondering whether to tell her about the past 1,200 years," and they did a lot of hard work after that, and even paid the price for it. ”
“……”
"So, I think our purpose is the same," Rowe said in a deep voice, "I want to prevent the destruction of the world, and you want to find out who has failed all this." ”
After saying that, he added:
"I'll find out."
Behind the Artisans' Guild, the "he" who can blind the vision of the present god now seems to be quite likely to come from the third world.
This also explains why so much controversy has been caused, but it has never been able to stay behind the scenes.
But for this kind of thing involving the truth of the apocalypse, Luo Wei does not intend to say so surely, so as to avoid the wrong judgment due to the deviation in it.
"Are you looking for the first-level gods who have survived in the past to prove your speculations?"
"No ......"
Luo Wei swallowed his throat, and the palm of the hand holding the Divine Power Resistor overflowed with sweat.
Is it coming?
The current information seems to be sufficient to constitute a condition for negotiation.
"I want to ask first, you've indeed fallen, haven't you?"
"Yes." Minoni nodded slightly.
"Is your Divine Core still there?"
"Yes."
Rowe took a deep breath.
To be able to continue to exist in this way, it seems that she really has no concept of death.
"Then I want to make a deal with you," he said, looking at the demon god in front of him, "You know the nature of the Starless Man, and know that I have infinite possibilities, and in that case, even if you return to the world, it is not hopeless." ”
Minoni just looked at him with the same expression.
"Go on."
"This is a contract, and it will be a slumber for you that will not last long, during which I will find the truth, and use my own possibilities to find a way to separate and awaken you. And after that, tell you the truth yourself. ”
After Luo Wei finished speaking, his gaze became solemn.
"I don't have the ability to find out this answer now, so I need to borrow the power of your divine core."
Say what you want to say.
As long as there is a real relationship of interest between the two parties, then there is the possibility of negotiation.
He needs a strong enough Divine Core, and Minoni needs to find someone who has failed the hard-won peace. All Luo Wei could give her was to find the answer she wanted, and promised to find a way to separate her divine core and resurrect her one day in the future.
Coupled with the fact that her former comrades-in-arms are also working on this, the existence of the "Salvation Tea Party" makes this matter even more convincing, and he can be the link that reconnects her with the tea party.
The atmosphere in the air became quiet.
Luo Wei was not sure that a first-level god would willingly hand over the Divine Core, even if she had fallen.
Therefore, "borrowing" is the best option.
"Is that what you've been covering?"
“……”
Isn't it still going to work?
He figured out the cause and effect, and also let her know that he was indeed facing this matter.
"It's going to come at a heavy cost."
Without directly refusing to prove that there is a chance, Luo Wei did not intend to give up and took a step forward, "I can find a way to reduce the cost to you, and promise to make it worth it." ”
Minoni looked at him and shook her head.
"It's not my price, it's yours."
It's mine?
Luo Wei was slightly stunned, his face slowly slowed down, and suddenly showed a self-deprecating expression.
"If I didn't know the price, I would be too ignorant."
Great power comes at a price.
The greater the power, the heavier the cost.
The few godheads that Luo Wei knew in history had all accidentally accepted the divine core of the first-level gods, and they lost everything before they had time to prepare for anything.
But he's different.
He took the initiative to borrow the Divine Core.
It would never be so easy for mortals to become gods with the Divine Core of a first-level god, but Minoni was still here, and if she accepted her proposal, as the owner of the Divine Core, she would be able to provide some relief to a large extent.
Even if her strength exceeds expectations, as long as she is well prepared, it is not impossible to avoid the most unacceptable ones.
And the rest is lost.
As long as it is not irretrievable, it is enough to take it back after becoming a godhead.
Minoni closed her starry eyes.
"I see what you're asking, Starless One."
She slowly came over and raised a hand upward.
In the boundless darkness, the pure white in her hand turned into a star, as if it could illuminate the entire universe.
The space was stained with divine will, and Luo Wei snorted in the pressure, his knees falling heavily on the floor.
A pure white girl in a plain dress looked down on him coldly.
"I am the Demon God of the Outer Realm, the only pure white born in the infinite darkness. Starless Rowe Brooke, do you want my Divine Core? ”
Luo Wei struggled to raise his head, like a small speck of dust under the divine power, and his cervical vertebrae seemed to be crushed by a huge force.
He stood up tremblingly, and even though he broke his legs, he took a heavy step forward.
"Yes, I want your Divine Core."
There are some things that will never come to fruition if you don't try them with awareness.
The strong wind blew off the girl's hair ornament, and the long white hair fluttered, reflecting the otherworldly starry sky behind her, and the pure white light band glowed like the moon.
"Very good, I will give you my divine core, and be ready to be enlightened by this power."
The statue of her body emitted light, and the surrounding space darkened suddenly, but the light in the center became more and more pure, even engulfing the entire space.
In the center of that pure white, a black sphere was born.
Pitch-black thunderbolts burst out around it, penetrating the boundaries of time and space, and the inside of the black ball glowing was incomparably pure white, as if in the pitch-black wrapping of the boundless universe, only the pure white core was condensed.
Luo Wei propped his knees and watched the orb slowly come in front of him, but in the pain of not being able to breathe, he felt an inexplicable peace.
簌, 簌, 簌, 簌 –
With the black lines forming a cube to enclose the divine core, it fell from mid-air, and Luo Wei, who had resumed his actions, hurriedly caught it.
The Divine Core was temporarily sealed by Minonia.
She closed her eyes slightly, looked at him again and said:
"I didn't expect you to borrow from me."
“……”
The oppression in the air disappeared, and Luo Wei held the transparent box in both hands, gasping for breath in horror.
"Did you already prepare to give it to me?" He wondered, "Is it because of the Supreme Being's view of the Starless Man?" ”
"As a fallen demon god, I just want to fulfill your wishes as much as possible," Minoni looked at him with a nonchalant expression, "but I'm also a little curious about the path that humans will take if they use my powers. ”
"I'm not going to break my promise," Luo Wei replied intently, "and when I'm done, I'll find a way to wake you up." ”
"It doesn't matter, or ...... Should I actually say thank you at this time? ”
Minoni suddenly raised her eyebrows in the middle of speaking, and Luo Wei chuckled with emotion.
She and her messenger still have something in common.
This may be just a matter of closing her eyes and opening her eyes, or it may be the end of never waking up with him, Luo Wei doesn't know her thoughts very well, and judging from the results, the divine core and her existence are not things to her that are measured by self-worth.
Well......
Of course, there are also cases where he was resurrected after sending it, and the two of them coexisted in the same body.
At least this is a goddess, and it is still a very beautiful goddess, so it can't be considered a loss.
"If you think it's worth thanking, I'm wondering, what exactly is the cost?"
Luo Wei didn't want to delay this matter, and had certain psychological expectations about it.
All in all, as long as you can guarantee that he is still him and does not cause irreparable damage to the people around you, it doesn't matter what else happens.
"Then you listen, the price you need to pay is "■■".
……
After listening to the detailed explanation, Luo Wei fell into a long silence.
Born in the darkness of nothing, Minoni's existence seemed to be more unfathomable than he had imagined, she seemed to represent some kind of pure root law, uncontrolled by any constraints, a unique product of self-birth. If these costs are true, it is possible that he himself is the one who accidentally destroys the world.
"Now that you know the cost, it's up to you to choose how to mitigate the impact and what path to take to bear the power."
“…… I'll think about it. ”
That's why it is said that why to take the god core of a first-level god into a god is something that ordinary people dare not think about, even if they try their best to get it, this price is really not something that mortals can bear.
Luo Wei was not frightened, but with the method of using this god core to become a god, I am afraid that he would have to plan it carefully, combined with the current situation of the Crownless City, this chaotic situation may also be able to be exploited.
He couldn't help but smile wryly.
This...... I guess I'm planning my own godhood ceremony.
"Now that this is the case, I don't need to guide you anymore, I will open the outer passage for you to leave."
"Wait a minute."
Knowing that she wouldn't be in this state for long, Luo Wei temporarily put aside his thoughts about this matter and stopped Minoni with a loud voice.
"While you haven't fallen asleep, I want to fulfill your other wish."
“…… What? ”
Luo Wei took a slow breath and smiled:
"You haven't forgotten the wish you made to the Demon King of the past, right?"
“……?”
……
No crown city, South Artisan Street.
The streets that used to be orderly are now in ruins everywhere on the roadside after the baptism of war and magic cannons.
Repair work is underway, and many people are trapped in the rubble due to the damage caused by the collapse of the building.
"Come, hurry! Help! ”
"Hasn't the magic crane been delivered yet?"
"It's only been a long time since the road here was paved, and I'm already rushing this way!"
For this reason, the street is busier than it seems, full of people in a hurry, and the Lion Court army patrolling the station.
It seems that Randall has taken the initiative to promote law and order.
"Why are they looking at us?"
Stepping on the freshly paved stone bricks, the pure white girl walking beside Luo Wei asked.
Luo Wei pursed the corners of his lips, and for a moment he didn't know whether to choose a mocking answer, or tell her the truth directly.
"Do you want me to tell you the way I normally communicate with people, or do you want to tell you the truth?"
"Is there a difference?" Minoni asked, putting her hand on her chin.
Originally, she couldn't leave the relics of the gods.
But at this moment, the divine core is on Luo Wei, and she also has a chance to breathe the outside air for a short time.
When Minoni cast a pure white land in this world, she made a wish to the ancient demon king - "I hope to observe the way of human existence." ”
The information obtained from the godhead of the demon race, Luo Wei originally intended to use it as a last resort to persuade her, but now that she had handed over the divine core to herself, he thought about it and decided to fulfill this wish before the other party fell asleep.
And then there is the conversation we have today.
Think about it carefully, go shopping with a first-class god...... It is estimated to scare people to death.
"It's better your way."
Hearing her say this, Luo Wei glanced down and shrugged helplessly.
"Obviously, you're clean, but you don't have shoes."
How could a pure white and flawless girl like her, dressed in a dress that was not stained with dust, walk barefoot on the street after the war, not be conspicuous.
Minoni looked down and thought about it.
"What do you mean...... Should I get a little dirty on my body or wear shoes like them? ”
It was analyzed so objectively.
Luo Wei's face trembled, and he turned to her slightly and said, "At this time, if you say, 'Then where are we going to buy a pair of shoes?' will be more like an expression of the human world." ”
"So where are we going to buy a pair of shoes?"
Sounds a bit dry.
Anyway, Luo Wei didn't think that this time alone would allow her to learn to recognize, and according to her, she had been in the darkness outside the realm for an unknown amount of time.
Tens of thousands of years? Hundreds of millions of years? She had no concept of time there at all.
"There's a clothing workshop open over there, let's go check it out."
"Well... Listen to you. ”
Instead of acting nervous, Minoni was at a loss as to how to communicate with people, observing and following him.
Well...... If she is asked to say at this time, "Eh, is my brother going to buy me beautiful shoes?" ”
Well, don't die in strange places.
Pushing the door in, in order to help with the reconstruction work, the major workshops did not stop operating, but after inquiry, they did not accept customized services, and only sold the stock displayed in the store. And the craftsman himself is rushing to make relief supplies such as stretchers and bandages.
"Was there just a war going on here?" Minoni asked suddenly.
Facing the clerk's suspicious gaze, Luo Wei pointed at the pure white girl with a dark face.
"Distant cousin, just came here today."
Then he quickly pulled her to see her shoes.
Minoni wasn't a mouthful, but after a slight doubt, she didn't think much about it anymore and focused on those goods.
"You mean, I can pick and choose?"
"Hmm...... But there are some contractual costs to be paid, but don't worry, I have a good contract for this. ”
The girl was in a difficult choice for a while, and Luo Wei didn't plan to delay here, and turned to look at the clerk.
"Wrap it all up for me."
The clerk looked at him with even more suspicion.
Returning to the street with her packed shoes, Minoni wore a pair of carved shoes in the same color as her dress, and she was not unaccustomed to walking.
"Those people are still looking at us, but their eyes are not the same as before, and they haven't been looking at us for as long as they used to."
"This kind of ...... It's normal, because your appearance is pleasing to the human eye, so they can't help but look at you a little. ”
"Really?"
What's more, her temperament and appearance are a little too otherworldly, and Luo Wei feels pressured when he walks beside him.
It's not that they're better looking than Vimil Shaye, it's just that they still know a little bit about how to communicate with people, and Saye just ignores them at most, and Minoni responds to those looks with a completely refined human attitude.
"And how am I going to respond to those looks?"
"If you think it's good-looking, take a look at it, and don't worry about what doesn't look good."
"I see."
Then Minoni glanced at him.
Luo Wei: "......? ”
