288 - The Last Struggle
Something went wrong with the Great Mercy Tree King.
Before Rama left Sumeru, it seemed as if everything was normal in this world.
He is a brave man who is just starting out, but he is also a brave man after returning from an adventure.
Rama knows the detailed stats of all the enemies in his adventure, knows their defense and attack checkpoints, and knows how to defend against their usual spells.
He's a fledgling, but he knows all the enemies and adventures, like an adventurer who has completed all the items and all the achievements, opens the trumpet, and then walks the path of the game all over again.
At that time, everything was normal, Rama thought that he was the chosen one, he believed in the power of the plot, and most of the plans were calculated in detail according to the plot, and finally chose to act after judging that it was feasible.
He's right.
Things changed at the point in time he left Sumeru.
When he left Sumeru and lived in Mondstadt and Liyue, what happened was still true to his memory, which made Rama even more reassured.
It wasn't until Rama arrived in Inazuma that the thunderbolt really appeared completely beyond his expectations.
Of course, he knew that he was changing the plot, and the original reliance had already undergone new changes, but Rama never thought that the change would come from a past that he had not touched.
And the thunder and lightning really appeared, obviously not because of his influence, because the thunder god died too early, and it can't be because Rama changed the plot.
It was also from Inazuma that Rama was vaguely aware that his every step was in someone's calculations.
But he couldn't find any questions, so he could only piece together the truth from the reactions of Raiden and the Fatui.
Sadly, Rama was still wrong.
He had already imagined enough crazy answers, including that he was from another timeline calculating himself, but the only thing he didn't expect was that the change came from the Great Mercy Tree King.
There was indeed another ego in this world, but he lost and lost all his memories to a god.
"You didn't get the most important thing."
Before boarding the test site, Rama said suddenly.
"Of course not." King Dacishu said unusually frankly, "His memory has given me a lot of inspiration, and I know the development and direction of many things. ”
He paused, "But it's like the truth you're used to, and the truth isn't worth mentioning compared to your strength. ”
"Am I able to get that idiot from Ahmar to let go of his obsession and not to contact forces outside the world?"
"Do I know that I can change the madness of the kingdom of Kanria and stop the so-called self-erasure in your memory?"
The god sighed, "I know, but I can't change anything. ”
At the heart of both of these disasters was that others were making mistakes, and the Great Tree knew why they were wrong, when and where they made them, but that didn't change anything.
Ahmar had long known the cost of access to forbidden knowledge, otherwise he would not have used Apep as a safe.
Kan Ruiya is even more aware of the taboo of this power, Snow Mountain, Yuanxia Palace······· Many facts have proven that they have known that they will be judged one day, so they are looking for and understanding the power of heaven, and then they are more prepared.
Although this defense did not make sense, in the end Kanria was destroyed.
But they know the cost, they just know the cost, and they still choose to do it.
The Great Mercy Tree King can know all the tricks, but he can't change a stubborn demon god, nor can he change a country with god-killing power.
There are only two things He can do, give up his responsibility to the world and choose to make things worse.
Things are bad enough, and someone will always step up and solve the problem.
But he didn't, and he inherited both calamities without reservation.
And the second thing is to sue directly and let the higher forces deal with it.
Clearly, He failed.
Ahmar's research, Sky Island was apparently aware of it, and the Nail of the Cold Sky had fallen to warn the King of the Red Sands.
Quite strangely, Sky Island warned the Red King and Apep with the Nail of the Cold Sky, theoretically knowing their thirst for forbidden knowledge and choosing to stop it, but in the end, both of them used the forbidden knowledge to do something wrong, and they did not see any more reaction from Sky Island that lowered the Nail of the Cold Sky.
On the contrary, it was the god of grass, because of his relationship with the World Tree and Sumeru, he had to stop these two messes instead of Sky Island.
The pollution left by the Red King was solved by the Great Mercy Tree King's Krypton's life, and Apep's life-and-death crisis was almost solved by Nahida's Krypton's life, but in the end, he did not have Krypton's life, and replaced it with a group of elemental beings who sacrificed themselves to complete the rescue.
But Rama heard a different taste.
That doesn't seem to be enough of a calculating······· Can an old coin who has spent a long time working on a project still have such a lot of sympathy?
"You always think too much," said the Great Mercy Tree King softly, "because you are too weak, and you always look for opportunities in weak directions. ”
"Let's do things first."
Rama was silent, but walked quickly towards the test table.
He didn't know exactly how much his other memory contained, but there was no doubt that the Great Compassion King was well aware of his research, and it was even possible that he was more familiar with the research itself than Rama, the initiator of the experiment.
The special creation sent by the hand of Raiden Shin is the alchemy material sent by the King of the Great Mercy Tree himself.
Only by understanding the whole experiment can we figure out where Rama will get stuck five hundred years in advance.
The other party knew so much about the experiment, so Rama didn't try to deceive him by deceiving the layman.
Whether it can be done or not, the other party has to know better than Rama himself.
At this point, it can only be used as the end of the story.
Rama took a deep breath and lay flat on the test bench.
The manipulator stretched out from all directions lined up the alchemy potion with a special luster in front of Rama, and the manipulator directly above extracted the potion separately, and then poured the potion into Rama's body in a specific order.
The alchemical potion began to tumble and fuse in Rama's body, and finally began to work towards the desired goal.
Rama's mind was calm.
He didn't feel any pain, and certainly didn't feel any strength.
It wasn't because the experiment failed, but because something more special had invaded his body and tried to pry away control of his body.
This particular manipulation should have been able to be stopped, but this power actually came from Rama himself.
This is the power of the god of grass, and it is what Rama himself seeks.
He embraced it and completed his first step from man to god, and now he is completing the last step, but that first step is the wrong one.
The shortcut he sought was indeed a shortcut—it was the path arranged by his predecessors, and of course it was a shortcut.
It's just that since he has embarked on the path arranged by others, then where the end is is not controlled by Rama.
It was a dangerous time, but Rama was still very calm.
He did everything he could, the only problem was that he was wrong in the first step.
At that time, Rama thought that this was a plot world, he knew all the plots, and he also had the system, which was completely a template for the children of destiny.
He was also able to restrain his desires and concentrate on the pursuit of strength, and Rama was actually very satisfied with himself.
But now that I look at it, the first step was wrong.
The world wasn't made for him, he was special enough, but not careful enough.
At this point, the only thing that can be counted on is the specificity of the system.
If it's like most scripts, it may be able to rely on the system to complete a wave of counter-kills.
"The system is yours and can only be yours."
Another voice echoed through his body, "But if I am you, of course it can be mine." ”
"Ahmar." Rama responded inwardly, "Or is it another me? ”
"You've pieced together the truth," His voice said with admiration, "and it's me." ”
"The complexity of the truth is when I will be able to realize that there is something wrong with you, not how hard the truth itself is to guess." Rama said, "You lost it, didn't you. ”
"But you still have one more, and I can get it back from you." Ahmar said, "You say, how can a traverser lose the system? ”
Counted dead.
So Rama had to grow up in the sand sea, and when he grew up here, he naturally set his sights on Ahmar.
In the plot of Sumeru, Ahmar has a fairly complete whole story.
Once Rama chooses to seek the power of the gods, he will definitely choose Ahmar over any other demon god.
Such a choice is not difficult to predict, and it is enough to have a little guidance in the process of growth.
"I've also explored some truths about the Red King, but whether it's a record of sacrifice or a so-called stone tablet, in fact, as long as you want to, you can engrave some truths that I want to show to future generations."
Either what is written is factual, and Ahmar has too many means for people to record history that does not exist.
But Rama didn't expect that he just verified that everything was as usual, as if the plot in his memory, and then he let go of a lot of thoughts.
"Ahmar is crazy······ Ah, I have spent a long, long time planning this plan, and I was even afraid for a while that there would be a Rama with a system in the future. His voice was filled with joy, "I would love to share with you all my plans for thousands of years, after all, it pains me that a great plan has been accomplished and no one has shared it." ”
"But compared to these, I still want to swallow the fruits of victory first, so that it is safer."
He believed that the villain died from talking too much, so although he wanted to share the joy with him, he chose to remain silent and hastened the devouring of Rama, but for Rama, the truth was already obvious.
Describing it as a time travel may make the story a little simpler.
When Ahmar chose the last madness, another Rama became forbidden knowledge outside the world and entered his body.
Rama was no more curious about why He appeared.
But this is a very critical point in time, the Red King needs to find the Great Cishu King to complete the finishing work, and he needs to complete the fateful transaction with Apep.
These Red Kings are willing to do it, He knows that he has messed things up, and he knows that he is going to mess things up in the first place, and He just doesn't want to turn back.
I didn't want to turn back, even though I already knew the result, but I still chose to go down this path.
But He wasn't really an evil god after all, so when he made a mistake, he had already thought about how to deal with these troubles.
All of this is what the Red King Ahmar is willing to do.
But Rama didn't want to.
He once again crossed over to Akhmar's body, and although he lost the system, he was still alive after all, and he also possessed relatively strong power.
Unlike Ahmar, who was willing to die, he didn't want to die.
I didn't want to die, but the situation of the Red King at that time was that he had to die, and when he became the Red King, he had to accept the fate of the Red King.
Apep didn't want to let him go, Apep at that time said that he couldn't move, he hadn't suffered a loss, and he didn't believe that the forbidden knowledge retained by the Red King could make him unable to survive or die in the future.
The King of the Great Tree of Mercy will not let him go.
Not to mention the humiliation of being forced to sacrifice to clean up the mess of another person's ambitions, the mere fact that Ahmar was a source of pollution would have to die.
The Great Mercy Tree King is a god who can kill himself completely for the sake of the Teyvat order, he is so cruel to himself, he seems to have a gentle temperament, but when he really wants to do it, he is the most decisive and ruthless one.
But fortunately, the Great Mercy Tree King is actually able to say that he is moving.
By showing him some of his memories and then compromising to some extent, he can turn the Great Mercy Tree from an enemy into an ally.
At that time, the Great Mercy Tree King could not stop the contract between Apep and Ahmar, but with the intervention of the Great Mercy Tree King, Ahmar had more time and opportunities to move.
In the end, Ahmar died as promised, Apep got his body, and the Great Tree King cleaned up the mess as planned.
Nothing has changed, but everything is not right.
When Rama learned the truth, he knew that he didn't have many options.
Whether he wants it or not, he will become the new Ahmar.
Or rather, Ahmar will resuscitate within his body.
It is true that he will become a god, and he is a more complete demon god than Ahmar in the past, but unfortunately, it is Ahmar who is resurrected, not Rama who becomes Ahmar.
"The truth is useless."
He sighed, then mustered his strength for the final struggle.
