Apocalypse soon left.

He wouldn't have stayed at this point in time for long, because it wasn't safe for him.

Of course, before leaving, perhaps in order to settle Chen Qing's heart, he once again gave Chen Qing a guarantee.

"You don't have to worry too much," Apocalypse said lightly, "Fate is a much weirder thing than you think. ”

"Sometimes the so-called fate is like a story in a book. A person, no matter how heroic he was before this, will still usher in his own end at that fateful time node. Whether that person is aware of this or not, it is impossible to disobey! ”

Speaking of this, even the words of the apocalypse are a little dignified.

"To be honest, that fellow of Destiny, even I don't want to have much to do with him. Because no one knows where He stands, no one will trust Him 100 percent. ”

"The only thing he knows is that what he has done so far has been to weaken the war. So if at least for now, we can still be considered allies of each other. After all, our goal is the same for the time being, we don't want to make war incontagious! ”

In fact, it is a bit of a waste to say so much to an "ordinary person".

That's right, even as an extraordinary person, Chen Qing is just an ordinary person in the eyes of the Apocalypse.

Or to be more precise.

"Human".

This is the imprint engraved in the depths of Chen Qing's soul, his own race. Until the future develops a technology that can change his form, or a forbidden object, he will always have human blood in his veins.

And human beings are inherently weak.

This is not to say that there is any racial discrimination in the apocalypse.

For strictly speaking, He Himself is a product of the race of "humans."

He comes from the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in religious mythology, and after being tainted and distorted, he became a great being across the timeline.

So human beings can even be regarded as His creators.

But that's just the past, the "past" when there was no pollution.

By the time the pollution had fully settled, the tide had turned.

Abstract things such as stories, concepts, and knowledge have become taboo, and even many great beings have been born. Human beings, on the other hand, have been reduced to the bottom of the whole world.

Even in the post-cataclysmic future, human beings are physically weak.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been before Pandia's time, and there weren't even the most basic methods of exercise.

At that time, people still relied on forbidden objects to become transcendent, so their abilities were uneven, so a demigod could be called the strongest in human beings.

It's just that the strongest thing about the "human" species is always their intelligence and ability to use tools.

In just a few hundred years, this weak creature has gradually climbed up from the lowest level of the world. They developed a transcendent system of pollution, and they also named it after the sequence. They even thought about Sequence One, a level that is close to a great existence, and their whimsical ideas can be called rebellious.

Under such circumstances, the dark age in which Yamashita and others lived came.

This era is the oldest era to be documented again after the great turmoil of pollution. Before that, it could only be regarded as "savage", an ancient past that was not recorded at all.

Although Yamashita's era was called dark, it was actually much brighter than it used to be. At least at that time, humanity already had a system of transcendent pathways, and there were even quite a few sequence twos.

This is not bad in the eyes of the apocalypse.

Unfortunately, for some reason, the path for humans to climb up has been cut off again.

And after that came the so-called "Age of the Gods". At that time, there were only a handful of sequence twos. New geniuses are constantly emerging, cutting off the saints of the past and reshaping human society.

Laws, beliefs, social systems, and federalism are the times when humanity is making the fastest progress in a society where combat power is scarce at the top.

Countless people who can be recorded in history have come forward, they have been named "heroes", following in the footsteps of great beings or saints, and building their own deeds step by step.

They brought stability and prosperity to humanity at that time, after which society no longer needed to be prefixed with "darkness".

Relying on these people, humanity has once again made great progress!

But the age of the gods will eventually come to an end.

Not to mention how much lifespan the highest level of human beings could have at that time, just Sequence Three, as the backbone of the so-called gods, could not resist the changes of thousands of years at all.

Society is progressing, the times are developing, and these names, which were once sung and remembered, have gradually faded into square characters on yellow paper. Except for a few who lament that it is generally mentioned a thousand years ago, most people are indifferent to it.

Still, they left something of their own.

The law was remembered by all, and stability became the main theme of most of the Federation's peacetime. You don't have to worry about robbers at night, and you don't have to worry about the migration of polluting creatures during the day.

This is a great achievement.

Even the Apocalypse recognizes this.

But again, that's the problem.

The path of humanity's upward climb has been cut off.

Sequence two is already their limit.

And to touch the level of the Apocalypse Them, even the sequence one that only exists in legends, is a bit reluctant.

So, that's why even though it took thousands of years for humanity to start all over again, and grow to the point where the Apocalypse was intended, He still didn't think the creature had any potential.

Under the transcendent system of pollution, the transcendent of the higher sequence has a crushing effect on the lower sequence.

This special power is capable of causing those who come into contact with it to quickly twist from body to soul, turning into all kinds of indescribable monsters. Many polluting creatures were born from this, and among them there are even heroes who were named in mythological times in the past. But even so, after they were exposed to a higher level of pollution, they still became that ghost.

And the pollution of the Great Being, even the slightest leakage, is enough to make those low-order transcendents completely become real "monsters".

So, there's no leapfrogging challenge.

In the long experience of the Apocalypse, it is not that he has not seen those low-level transcendent counterattack high-sequences.

But he knew very well that it was because there was a higher level guy standing behind that low sequence.

The lower transcendents either pay or sacrifice in exchange for greater power, and then crush the higher order of transcendence.

And this is essentially the suppression of lower beings by higher level people.

And can rely on your own strength, without relying on other guys to help, you can resist the high sequence?

does not exist.

"No one else can do that!"

In the cabin, Apocalypse looks at himself in the mirror.

At this time, he had already walked out of Chen Qing's room, and now he was chatting with the original owner of the body, the Holy Envoy.

In fact, this topic was also opened by the Holy Messenger.

Knowing that the war might be staring at them, the Holy Envoy behaved more ...... Weak.

She even asks Apocalypse if she can use the power of others to fend off the war at a higher level.

And this so-called other people's power includes the transcendent one before.

Because the Holy Envoy also learned from the Apocalypse that in this era when pollution has not yet exploded on a large scale, even if the power of war is relatively special, it is still not too much more than the strongest "human" in the world.

So she thought maybe she could take advantage of that.

The answer given by the apocalypse is "no".

"The power of war is special," Apocalypse said to himself in the mirror, "and to be honest, even I don't know why he is so strong." Even if it seems that He didn't go over the human limit much now, it was only for a short time. ”

"It won't be long before the pollution comes down completely, and he'll be a terrible monster."

"As for the human you're talking about? He does look good now, but by the time the pollution settles, he'll be hit harder than anyone else. ”

After a moment of contemplation, Apocalypse revealed something more: "Pollution is an indescribable special force, and it acts first and foremost on the 'soul'. ”

"Our existence was born in part because of the impact of pollution on the human soul. Because the soul carries 'memories', this part will distort with the rest of the body after being impacted. ”

"And because these 'memories' occupy a lot of abstract imagination, and they are widely disseminated around the world. So after this part of the memory is distorted, we gradually grow stronger. The twisted memories of each other unite and ultimately make us who we are. ”

"That's one of the reasons why we're great beings. In other words, the same cognition grows with each other, and finally a great being with 'knowledge' like me is born. ”

As he spoke, Apocalypse pressed the mirror.

"But that's why humans are particularly dangerous."

"Just think about it," he said, "the impact of pollution can even distort things like 'memory' into that shape and give birth to anomalies like us. Then human beings, as the subject, will naturally be affected by unimaginable. ”

"In fact, this is also the reason why I told you before that once the pollution completely breaks out, most humans will die on the spot."

This sentence made the holy envoy can't help but purse his lips.

Indeed, the Apocalypse had spoken on this topic before.

And it was precisely because of what Apocalypse had said to her that the Holy Envoy had made up his mind to get rid of his human identity and become a "Famine" knight.

On the other side, Apocalypse sighed: "The stronger the human being, the stronger the impact of pollution. And that transcendent, he is the most powerful human being in the world. So the moment the pollution arrives, he will be hit with the strongest impact that no other of his kind can match. ”

"Under such a powerful impact, my soul will probably be beaten out of the body as soon as possible."

Apocalypse said, pulling a cigarette out of his pocket.

This is the Holy Envoy's own, but now the Heavenly Envoy is not the slightest jerky.

Even judging by his skillful movements, he is definitely an old smoking gun.

Holding the cigarette butt between his fingers, Apocalypse slowly spit out a ring of smoke rings: "It's a pity." ”

"If I hadn't chosen war before then, then maybe I would have had one more knight. When the time comes, I only need to give this position to that transcendent, and I will be able to get the help of the strongest human right now. ”

"It's a pity, the knight has already been decided, and it's hard to change it. Even if I wanted to, fate wouldn't approve of me. ”

Sticking the cigarette butt into the ashtray next to him, Apocalypse's expression gradually became serious.

"Therefore, the transcendent is valuable, but not too valuable."

"Until the pollution is completely exposed, he will be our strongest umbrella. After all, judging from the current situation, he has a good relationship with the largest organization of mankind. ”

"But after the pollution broke out, the guy was useless all at once. A body that has lost its soul is only a corpse, and a soul that has lost its body can only be a wandering ghost. ”

As he spoke, Apocalypse spread his hands: "So, just let it be." If he survives, it's not too late for us to think about it. ”

After all, in the future, there will be many "people".

Moreover, the energy used by the transcendent is not pollution.

Even the Apocalypse may not be able to confirm whether he can reach his current state in that polluted environment in the future.

At least in terms of the perception of the apocalypse over the years.

He never heard anything about "Chen Qing" in the coming time!

This means that either Chen Qing died from the pollution outbreak in the first place.

Or, or after he survived, he was completely oblivious to everyone!

What else is there to look forward to and invest in such a guy?

Apocalypse quickly made up his mind in his heart.

And this is where He differs from the original world Apocalypse.

In the original world, there was still a "war" position under the hands of the apocalypse that was not given up. Therefore, he was willing to use this position to recruit Chen Qing, and he obtained the help of the transcendent at the early stage.

But after the reversal, the war was replaced.

Therefore, Apocalypse naturally lowered his expectations for Chen Qing a little.

And the result of this is:

Today's Chen Qing has completely lifted his suspicion of the apocalypse.

"That's it."

In his room, Chen Qing folded his hands.

"Apocalypse doesn't seem to be a big deal, because that guy doesn't have any awareness of the conflict between me and War. This means that He himself does not know the inside story of the reversal. ”

Then the next step is to look for others who might know this.

Thinking so, Chen Qing glanced around.

Next to him, the green barrier that had opened before the apocalypse was still there.

This was also Chen Qing's last request.

He hoped that the apocalypse would leave an insurance policy.

It is clear that the apocalypse is not very reluctant.

But in the end, on the premise that the two sides were still cooperating, he reluctantly agreed.

And this gave Chen Qing a chance.

A chance to use the mirror without worrying about others!

Especially on the premise that Apocalypse has lost interest in him, an "ordinary human transcendent".

At this point in time, as long as Chen Qing didn't use the ancient mirror to make too much movement, then no one would notice it!

So.

Chen Qing closed the door of his room for the first time.

Then, his hand pressed lightly against the mirror.

"The future after the reversal, ah......"

He groaned.

From truth to post-war era.

Presumably, it will be completely different from before!
