"We are not 'gods.'" The rebuttal slipped out of Killman's mouth without thinking. Then, he realized that this was not quite right, and added, "I mean—"

"As I said, I'm not that unprofessional, and I won't affect the effectiveness of the treatment just because I hate something." Asclepius said calmly, "And you can't make an olive a grape just by insisting that it's a grape." In any world, 'God' is an ambiguous concept that is difficult to define in a simple and precise way. But if we compare it with 'people', the huge difference that even a blind person can recognize should not be overlooked. ”

"I don't think I'm different enough to be called 'God.'" Killiman said stiffly, "As a primordial, I may indeed be much more than ordinary people, but ......"

He felt that he should not continue to dwell on the subject, which was not what he had meant to say. But Asclepius laughed sullenly twice for some reason: "It's funny that you want to deny your identity, and I'm starting to think it's a good thing to come here." ”

"What?"

"I've heard that the memory of the original is comparable to that of hyperamnesia, so you shouldn't forget what I said ten minutes or so ago: I'm a god too."

This made Killiman stunned for a moment: "But you say you hate God." ”

"Is there no human being in the world who hates human beings?" Asclepius rightly asked, "It's not uncommon to hate my own race, and I wasn't a god from the beginning—probably the reverence and faith of the afterlife put me in that position after death." But it doesn't matter, 'what I am' is just a small thing, the important thing is that the power of nasty is also power, and as long as it can be used by me when I need it, I don't need to discard it so completely. ”

Killiman never thought like this. Such extreme pragmatism is not difficult for him to understand, and it does open up a whole new way of thinking when looking at himself. But that really wasn't what he wanted to talk about in the first place.

......The eloquent passion of the statesman seemed to suddenly refuse to favor him, and Killiman felt a parchment of his mouth inexplicably, "...... Will he be okay? ”

"If I were to comment on this Lingji operation, I would have made a clear statement: boring. I'm even chatting with you in case I fall asleep in these simple but tedious mechanical tasks. Asclepius, as always, did not care about the feelings of the patient's family, but also retained a certain degree of professionalism while complaining, "But you must know that I could put him together in perfect shape from the way he is now, but there is nothing to prevent him from tearing himself apart again." You'd better worry about this part in advance. ”

He paused, and there was a surprising hint of loneliness in his tone: "Even if I have the medical skills to bring the dead back to life, I can't perfectly solve all the problems in patients. If I can do it......"

Asclepius's voice lowered.

He seemed to be talking about Colacs, and as if he was talking about other people's things through the patients he was treating. This subtle sense of dislocation left Killiman at a loss as to how to continue the conversation.

"You have to pay attention to this, my accomplice." The Count of Monte Cristo, who had deliberately chosen a stall where Rikka Fujimaru was alone, appeared from the shadows, and considering the current time, he did not serve coffee, but handed over a glass of milk, so said, "The question of 'holes' must now be taken into account. ”

“…… So, this is starting to become a question that can be discussed even when I'm sober? Fujimaru Rika, who was vaguely aware of the seriousness of the problem, squeezed the warm mug and did not express a positive position, but asked rhetorically, "Speaking of which, which 'earl' are you?" ”

"You remember. It seems that the technique of memory operation is not so solid. The Count of Monte Cristo also did not answer the question directly, "It doesn't really matter. The Heroic Spirit is only a shadow of the record of events, and in this world, even a mirage that does not exist in history, it is possible for me to appear and dissipate when I am. ”

"To the living, it's a bit cruel for you to say that." Rika Fujimaru remembered Asclepius, who had died almost suicidally under her pact and had been resummoned in the blink of an eye, "It sounds like some kind of expendable to you, and I really don't want to use the 'fate' we once formed in this form." ”

"But when the situation calls for it, you will do it." The Count of Monte Cristo said with certainty, "Just like in the days of Oort." ”

Rika Fujimaru, whose face was gloomy, did not speak—neither affirmation nor denial, just silence.

But this silence was a clear answer to the Count of Monte Cristo.

"It's fine for you to do this." His tone was a little emotional, "You were able to do the 'necessary evil' when the situation forced you to do it, but in your heart, the focus of the 'necessary evil' was never 'necessary', but 'evil'. It is because of this that many heroes in the history of mankind will follow you without complaint. ”

"If I could, I would like to walk the whole journey with my hands clean." Rika Fujimaru smiled wryly, "But the further down I go, the more I realize that this is impossible." Under this premise, wouldn't it be irresponsible for me to still leave all the difficult decisions to others. ”

"It's a great responsibility, the last master of mankind." The Count of Monte Cristo sighed, "But the word 'last' can almost be removed now, right?" ”

"Kellya has obtained the qualification of the Master...... No, it's useless for me to worry about this matter alone. The Chaldean spirit portrait will be inherited by her in the future, but whether she can use this power freely depends on her own character and ability. ”

"If you tell everyone out there, 'This girl is my successor,' probably the vast majority of the Immortals will agree to continue to assist her."

"Maybe it's just my subjective idea, but then it's a bit of putting the cart before the horse, if there is an outsider forcibly intervening in the matter of 'marriage', it won't be counterproductive." Rika Fujimaru slowly took a sip of the milk in the cup, "But you didn't mean to say that, did you?" ”

"You're finally willing to get back to the old point?" The Count of Monte Cristo smirked, "It's fine that you spent most of your time in the rear during the previous war, but you still ran to the front in the final stage, allowing the 'hole' to receive too much garbage data from the dissipation of the living. Our working environment hasn't been very good lately, and even the little girl in Salem wants to come out and breathe. ”

“…… In this way, the death of those things will also accumulate vicious information. Fujimaru Rika stared at the cup in her hand and said almost to herself.

"Not only that, but you even rewrote the human logic of an entire planet not long ago, and you should at least know the magnitude of that discarded data - it's not the first time you've done it to rewrite the fate of an entire planet after coming to this world."

"Does Nostramo count as well?" This made Fujimaru Ritsuka a little shocked, "That's obviously an illusion?" ”

"Don't forget, what you entered this illusion for. Even in the simulation algorithm, events that 'have happened in a certain possibility' become energy. The Count of Monte Cristo shook his head:

"I'll be straight, you'd better stop rushing to the front line." Although there is a little more protection in the 'abandoned hole' than in the past, now, we are not sure what will happen if we continue like this and let the contents 'hatch' out. ”

Miwoo (serene)

Some people thought that the Inquisitor was left on the Storm Boundary was too "two-dimensional", and I didn't understand what this two-dimensional was trying to convey here, but I don't think there was anything wrong with the two-dimensional approach to this book - as long as you look at the name of the protagonist of this book and realize that this is a two-dimensional mobile game× Warhammer 40K's Xover fandom, you should be able to realize that two-dimensional is an inseparable part of the premise of this book! (Meaning I won't change it)
