Chapter 21: Cheekiness
“!!!”
In Xavier's vigilant gaze, more and more smoke diffused from the wick of the oil lamp, and then began to converge into an entity in the air, turning into a ghost-like strange form, and even growing a facial feature, and said in an elderly male voice:
"Don't do any more sabotage, stupid human, you can't destroy my body by any means. ”
Obviously, this is the so-called lamp god, at first Xavier was still very vigilant, afraid that he would attack him directly, and was even ready to shout for help, but after waiting for a while, the lamp god still had no tendency to attack, so he was a little relieved, and asked rhetorically:
"If nothing can destroy you, why do you want to stop me? Doesn't that mean that my fall from a height can hurt you?"
"Oh my God, you humans have a bit of brains, of course, your behavior can't hurt me, but it's like a mosquito biting, it makes me feel very annoying, don't you come out to stop you?" said the lamp god dissatisfied.
"You have a point. Xavier nodded silently, "But then again, who the hell are you, a goblin?"
"Don't use that word to slander honorable me, I am the great god of lights!" replied in a slightly secondary tone.
"I'm not convinced. Xavier was skeptical, for in his opinion, the gods should be omnipotent, just like the gods of the night, the sun, and the mother earth that the people believed, and this god of lamps ......
"If you were a god, why would you need to stay in such an oil lamp?" Xavier asked, translating his thoughts into questions.
"That's because the gods are bored and lonely, come to your mortal world to have some fun, understand?" The lamp god showed a disdainful tone, "mortal, I see that you also have a bit of fate with me, as long as you kneel in front of me, and shout 'lamp god, lamp god', and pray for my favor, I can fulfill your three wishes." ”
"Is it okay to wish for anything?" Xavier asked him.
"Of course, I am the almighty god of lamps, and I ...... any wishes," before the lamp myth could be finished, Xavier knelt down, chanted his name, and shouted:
"God of Lights, my first wish is to get a hundred more wishes. ”
Lamp God: "......"
He had never seen such a shameless human being.
This made him directly silent for dozens of seconds, and waited for a long time before responding: "You humans can't be so greedy, the lamp god can't satisfy this desire. ”
"Ha, but whatever you say you can wish for, can God break his word?" Xavier asked helplessly.
"Shut up, shameless villain! I've never seen such a brazen person!" replied the lamp god in exasperation, "I'll give you one more chance to make some reasonable wishes. ”
"For example, you can make a wish to become rich, or you can make a wish to have a beautiful wife. ”
"However, I have no interest in money, and I already have a beautiful wife. Xavier shook his head.
“...... Then you should have something else you want, albeit just that. The lamp god was speechless for a moment, and then waited for a while before speaking.
"Well, then I want to be the god of the new world, with the power of Mother Earth. Xavier made a heartfelt wish.
Lamp God: "?"
Seeing the expression of the lamp god, Xavier knew that it was no fun, and asked again: "Okay, the god of the new world can't do it, then you can at least make me the strongest swordsman in the world, is this okay?"
Lamp God: "No!"
Listening to this series of requests, the lamp god only felt that it was too difficult for him, why couldn't he make some regular wishes? Could it be that he had come to embarrass himself?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly scolded: "Stupid human beings, God will not meet these ignorant requirements, your desire is too greedy, and the Lamp God will not allow it!"
"Phew. Xavier shook his head, "Is it because you don't have that ability, Mr. Lamp, and say you're omnipotent?"
Before he knew it, he had relaxed his vigilance against the lamp god and started to talk to him.
God just doesn't want to meet your meaningless demands. The god of lights replied stiffly.
"Dare to ask Your Excellency the Lamp God, what does it mean to be meaningful? If I become the strongest swordsman in the world, I can protect the justice of the world and punish the wicked, isn't it very meaningful?" Xavier asked confidently.
"But you can also be the worst person in the world, who knows? The gods don't believe in human virtues and don't want to gamble. The lamp god turned his mind and forcibly thought of a reason to refute it.
I have to say that there is no problem with this refutation at all, at least not logically, and it also makes the lamp god instantly complacent, but he didn't realize that he left a mistake between his words.
That's the phrase 'who knows'.
"Aren't you omnipotent, O Lamp God, you know if I will become the greatest villain in the world after I gain power, can't you predict the future of omnipotence?" Xavier managed to catch the little mistake.
Hearing this answer, the lamp god was speechless.
In fact, in his heart, he knew very well that, as the human in front of him said, he was not so strong at all, what made people become gods, the most powerful swordsman, or the prediction of the future, he could not do it at all.
If He were so strong, how could He be in an oil lamp?
But alas, at the beginning He said that He was omnipotent, and then he was constantly seized on by this stupid human being, as if to force Him to admit that he was not omnipotent.
But how could the god of the lamp, who loved face, be willing to admit it, so he had a sophistry with the human race before him, and the result was that he was defeated.
After all, it's hard to prove that you're omnipotent, and it's easy to refute it logically.
But the god of lights has found a universal reason, and that is--
"God doesn't want to do meaningless things. ”
This is what He learned from the clergy, and when someone doubts God, he replies, of course, God can do it, but God doesn't want to do it.
Of course, this essence is actually Ah Q's spirit, thinking that he is the law of victory, but the lamp god didn't think too much about it at the moment, and continued to respond with this sentence:
"It's not that the god of lights can't predict the future, and naturally he can also know the journey you will embark on after giving the ability, but this is meaningless, so the god of lights is unwilling to do it. ”
With that, He snorted as if he had triumphed.
