MTL - For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King (1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King)-Chapter 38 : The truth of the myth
Chapter 38: The truth of the myth
It was very subtle, and William could feel that Remedios was still working on her work.
"At this time", she is still burning her magic power, trying to close the loop of her time and fix herself as a phenomenon.
Even as a god-level powerhouse, using the magic power in her personal etheric domain as fuel, the phenomena that can finally be fixed are only some extremely subtle things.
For example, becoming a ghost on a lighthouse that appears on rainy nights, or a tiny sunspot that can occasionally be observed on the moon.
Perhaps many legends in this world come from this way.
As for what the other party is doing... According to the Tacoma member, she intends to use herself as a **** to break into history and connect the two concepts of "William Kane" and "Eighth Holy Spirit".
The name William Kane has been enshrined in the empire for 800 years, and the belief contained in it is enough as fuel to complete the closed loop. Therefore, she intends to use William of 1,008 years ago as the main body of the ceremony, and use herself as a closed loop of the medium to send the beliefs of 1,008 years and 1,000 back to the past.
Once successful, the power of the Holy Spirit is something that is and is.
Of course, in this way, both William and Remedios will naturally become phenomena and be fixed. Although William didn't know whether he would retain his sense of self, Remedios was definitely finished.
So he said directly:
"My coming back has nothing to do with what you are doing now, so stop now."
"No, don't lie to me, Lord Judge..."
An unexpected and inexplicable answer.
A very strange thing, the other party is clearly a group of countless phantoms overlapping, ordinary people will be dizzy just by looking at the image, but William can really feel the serious and sad expression on the other party's face.
"What did I lie to you about?"
William asked quickly.
"I can feel that your current existence is extremely unstable, like an illusory bubble. You can't really return to the world, right?"
"what?"
William only remembered this stubble at this time.
"You wait...wait."
William hurriedly raised his hand and planned to explain in confusion.
"Now you are just a fragment of the power of the real Lord William Kane, and he has not really returned."
William covered his forehead, the misunderstanding was big.
"This is a clone created with [Mirror Shadow]..."
he explained immediately.
"Is that so..."
The other party gave a lonely smile, and the countless overlapping faces showed an expression of "as expected" at the same time.
My words just now seem to corroborate the other party's guess...
So he hurriedly continued:
"I mean, he, bah, my body is now near the Dawn Fortress, and I can't come over for some troublesome reasons, so I let..."
In the loop time, he can only move along his own time axis. Therefore, even if the distance between the two is only a few meters, he seems to have nothing to do except explain.
But the other party didn't seem to pay attention to William's words, on the contrary, the ghost on his body began to solidify more and more.
The self in all time is unified, and there is no past and future, which is a precursor to closing one’s own time axis.
"Lord Judge, this is probably the only thing I can do for you."
As Remedios’ voice sounded again, everything around her began to disintegrate.
"Don't help me decide on your own, wait for me!"
This time, William, who was jumping a little in a hurry, roared directly.
Remedios was taken aback by William's sudden movement, and the movements of her hands stopped.
"Has this thousand years made you such an axis?"
"And I don't want to be the eighth Holy Spirit!"
William continued to roar.
The words of the previous member of the Tacoma Order made William think about a lot of questions.
The settings and background information in the game have always been recorded in the form of historical books, and the official has never used the tone of "authority" to determine what a thing is like. Even the officially launched setting collection is to collect and organize a large amount of information under the guise of a historian, and there are even conflicting documents in it.
There are many different speculations about the king of nothingness, the Holy Spirit, and the nature of various immortal existences in the player group.
In this regard, he does not have many advantages over the natives here, except that he has more comprehensive information. Even the inertial thinking formed by materialistic education may become an obstacle to understanding the world at some point.
But the theory of time stratification opened William's mind and answered many questions.
Where does the immortality of the gods come from? What is the so-called authority? Where are the Holy Spirits?
The answers to all these questions can be explained by another time.
Death is a concept of cause and effect, authority is a repeated cycle of reincarnation, and the Holy Spirits exist in circular time.
This reminded William of some of the mythical stories he had read in the real world.
The ancient Norse believed that winter came because the goddess of spring was kidnapped by the ice giants. At this time, Thor, the **** of thunder, would pick up his hammer and go to the site of the ice giant to save the goddess of spring. The sparks generated by his knocks became lightning, heralding the arrival of spring.
At first, William thought the most unreasonable thing about this story was that if it was true, it would mean that the goddess of spring would be kidnapped by the ice giants once every year, and Thor, the **** of thunder, would go there to save the goddess once a year.
From the perspective of human beings, these gods are too unconcerned, right?
Of course, in the real world, the arrival of spring does not depend on the goddess of spring blowing, and thunder and lightning are not sparks smashed by Thor's hammer - in fact, the so-called Thor is more likely to be an alien than this, maybe compared to Hammer he prefers to use an axe.
However, stories of similar structures abound in the mythology of this world.
The most typical, the myth of the conversion of the king of the black water swamp region Oka and the death of Vera. If you think about it from the perspective of a mortal, you will feel that they are unreasonable - can't after becoming a king, you can safely make up for the defeat of your subordinates? Or is it difficult to assign the other party to the underworld to serve as a **** of death, but to change to a priesthood to be a **** of death?
And what's worse is that, unlike the real world, these myths are basically true - because mortals can really gain power from imitating those myths, which no one can question, which is equivalent to iron proof .
But if it is deduced according to this conclusion, it seems that there is only one possibility - those gods are actually a group of mentally retarded, and their IQ may not be as good as that of some children.
But now, William understood what was wrong.
It is true that the gods exist, but they are in another time.
The attempt by mortals to deduce their social structure from those myths is utter foolishness, because the myths themselves are the cycle time they are in.
And this theory deepens the belief that William had been firm before.
Be it the Holy Spirit, the ancient gods, or even the king of nothingness, he can use their power, but he must never give up his human identity to become them.
As if he could use the tides, seasons and phases of the moon to defeat his enemies, but could not allow himself to be the tides, seasons and phases of the moon itself.
If you don't win as a mortal, then everything in the end is meaningless.
