In the dead silence and darkness, under the impenetrable void, Fisher's consciousness was particularly ethereal and foolish, but in that empty nothingness, he seemed to feel an unprecedented tranquility, as if he was running on the boundless
The wilderness, giving up everything wantonly yet seems to carry everything
Until that moment, he seemed to hear some existential call or a cry of despair.
"Why does this universe have any meaning? Almighty and Supreme Lord, please tell us this group of mayflies struggling under your majestic power, and tell us the meaning of your birth into the world."
The cry made him stop and opened his eyes
What caught his eye was a deep darkness.
Fisher's eyes gradually changed from the scattered, star-like light back to pupils similar to those of humans. The voice made him uncomfortable, but it drove him to sit up and look around.
"Hua Hua Hua"
The surroundings are extremely quiet, except for the ever-present sound similar to the waves lapping on the shore, and the faint whispering of singing.
And he was floating in the center of this darkness, suspended above the boundless ocean of darkness but never falling.
Fisher lowered his gaze and looked at his chest, where his soul had returned to its original state, and he could also feel that there was a nature that seemed to be innate in the depths of his soul.
【none】
"You're awake, honey"
Along with the sound of the tide receding, a familiar female voice echoed in his ears, causing him to raise his eyes and look forward.
In the dark depths ahead, some kind of indescribable existence was wandering there. Only a pair of huge but blurry blue-gold eyes looked at him.
If you look closely, it seems that they are not eyes, but two mirrors that encompass countless stars. It is like picking out all the galaxies that exude the fire of civilization in the vast darkness and igniting the flames of soul and consciousness.
What the "flame" plays when it burns is an extremely complex song.
And the existence behind this pair of huge blue-gold eyes is the so-called Heller Tsuki's true body.
"【ocean】"
"Haha, it's not wrong to call me that. Legend has spread many names about me. Those ancient ones who have passed away and the cowards who still exist will occasionally spread my existence."
""
After a brief pause, the darkness seemed to squirm, and then, a woman wearing a white robe and short blond curly hair walked out of it.
That appearance was all too familiar to Fisher, it was an angel named "Helaire".
Heller walked up to Fisher with bare feet and a smile. Her pair of real blue-gold eyes gradually overlapped with the huge and blurry blue-gold symbol behind her, occupying almost all of Fisher's sight.
Her white palms stretched out from her slender white robe and hugged the hem of her skirt. She sat down sideways like a lady, smiled at Fisher and said,
"It should be easier for you to talk to you with a more familiar face."
Looking at the angel in front of him, Fisher inevitably glanced back behind him. There was nothing there. The so-called new world had gone away from him, leaving him alone here.
He slowly withdrew his gaze and asked Heller,
"What about all the gods outside the walls?"
"They're all dead."
""
Heller smiled and held his chin, and the surrounding darkness gradually dissipated, revealing the environment of the outer universe.
But outside, the broken and unrecognizable corpses of countless huge gods were piled together. And because their huge masses attracted the surrounding celestial bodies, collisions broke out in a short period of time, followed by countless fireworks that were more brilliant than fireworks.
times the light
"Don't look at me like that. I'm very gentle and I won't do it unless necessary. However, knowing that you and I exist is a poison that accelerates the end of this universe."
But here, in the depths enveloped by the darkness of the ocean, everything remains silent.
"So, now that it's all over, we can finally have a good talk for the first time."
The surrounding darkness covered the destructive scene outside again, shrouding them in it. Before that, Heller's soft moon-like voice came, pulling Fisher back from his thoughts.
"Yes, we can finally have a good talk."
Seeing the scene outside, he finally relaxed a little. He also sat cross-legged in front of Heller, raised his head and looked directly at her always smiling face,
"I just can't imagine that a real god like you, with such unimaginable power, is looking for just a partner like me? Even if the nature of my body is the same as yours, there are some reasons for this.
It’s so ridiculous and ridiculous.”
However, upon hearing this, Heller just shook his head calmly and said,
"Seeking a partner? My dear, you seem to have made something wrong. You don't need me to seek it. We were born to be partners before your consciousness was born. Even if your soul does not appear, you and I will always be together. This
It is unquestionable and will not change.”
Fisher opened his mouth and seemed to have difficulty understanding her words. He could only ask,
"Then why"
"Then why do so much more?"
Heller smiled slightly, but the expression on her face gradually took on Fisher's incomprehensible divinity. Her eyes seemed to burst out with extremely ancient meanings, just like a song or a lyric,
"Dear, this world is a throne for you and me. You and I take turns to control and create the throne. But from beginning to end, we have never been separated. No matter who is in charge, sitting on the throne is at the same time
the two of us
"We are naturally opposite, naturally independent but integrated partners. Whether you are conscious or not, whether I exist or not, from beginning to end, you are the same to me, and I am the same to you.
.”
Fisher's pupils narrowed little by little, and it seemed as if Heller in front of him had finally taken off the layers of masks he wore in the world, and announced this theorem in a straightforward voice.
"You don't know that outside the fence, there is a world that is trillions of times more magnificent than the world created by those little guys. Even light can't run to the end in its lifetime. Starting from an explosion, all things grow.
, space and time have been finalized since then. Powerful creatures were born with the power to distort the world, and pursued the unknown with curiosity; while the weaker ones gathered together and lived on the celestial body that could carry their civilization, looking at it day and night.
Shining light from the sky, near or far
"Everything that happens now is due to my authority. The current universe is my era. But before this universe was born, you once took charge of it."
Heller waved his hand, and everything around him began to distort, and the existence of everything began to be deconstructed and annihilated, leaving only darkness and the increasingly bright nature of his chest.
"In that unimaginably long time, before I detonated the singularity and formed all of this, your blind and foolish [Nothing] controlled annihilation with nihilistic and extremely powerful laws. That universe was extremely bright, but it was much brighter than the current one.
The universe is trillions of times quieter. It collapses all the time. Rather, collapse is the essence of that universe, and nothingness and meaninglessness are the sounds there."
In a world filled with nothingness and everything around him, Fisher felt as if he was being melted. It was not melting in the physical sense, but the entire existence was collapsing.
It was an era of extremely chaotic dimensions, no order, and full of annihilation and light.
But it was in this environment that he unexpectedly felt an unusual sense of familiarity and intimacy, just like what he felt when he was asleep, running in the wilderness until he completely melted into the tranquility of the wilderness.
Until, a shrill voice exploded in his ears,
"Why does this universe have any meaning? Almighty and Supreme Lord, please tell us this group of mayflies struggling under your majestic power, and tell us the meaning of your birth into the world."
Fisher suddenly woke up from that state, and the nothingness around him slowly returned to Fisher's chest, making the universe shrouded in darkness return to its fullness.
That is, a kind of fulfillment called [existence].
"But as I said, we have always been partners together. Therefore, no matter in my time or your time, our mutual qualities will exist at the same time. Just like the universe outside the barrier is full of annihilation, in
In your era, [a] civilization was also miraculously born.
"They struggled hard in your stupid and blind nothingness, spending an incalculable amount of time and using the precious 'consciousness of existence' from generation to generation to accumulate the courage to live. In the end, after struggling for billions of lives, they
I came in front of you, questioning your authority with painful voices. They used your nothingness to end your nihilistic and foolish rule, and my rule was also born in their demise, and now there are countless kinds of consciousness.
, the period when civilization and gods existed.”
Fisher frowned, as if he felt an unprecedented feeling from Heller's soft words.
The universe that is constantly annihilating, blind and ignorant represents "nothing", but its mere existence represents "being", so consciousness and civilization were born from that gap.
And that consciousness changed the king on the throne by destroying the previous universe, and finally came to the era of "being".
"These civilizations and gods that exist in the universe are constantly moving, reverberating, colliding and gathering into songs day and night, and most of the time I just listen and listen to their beauty. The powerful gods want to ask the world about their intentions.
Explore its mysteries and ask for its meaning, but you don’t know that [existence is meaning].
"You are right. It is precisely because Lamastia understands this that when they created this world, I only planned to watch it from the beginning to the end, watching it naturally come into being and die naturally.
, nothing more.”
Fisher looked at Heller and couldn't help but ask,
"Then, why do you still want to destroy the barriers?"
Unexpectedly, Heller winked his left eye slyly and said with a smile,
"One code after another, they took you away for their guilt. As punishment, I broke down the barriers. And making this already precarious ship more dangerous also makes the song more interesting, doesn't it?"
""
Sure enough, this is His nature.
Fisher sighed and asked again after being speechless for a moment,
"But why did you put my nature in that sea of souls so that Lamastia and the others could take it away without knowing it? And why can the soul contain my nature?"
"Well, everything in the world will be swallowed up by your authority and then fall into nothingness. Only consciousness can suppress this. It's not because the souls I created are so powerful, but because those souls are a poor imitation of my singing.
And of all the things in this world, I will not be swallowed up by you except me who coexists with you."
Heller's blue-gold eyes were getting closer to Fisher. Those eyes were like the sea, trying to melt Fisher.
"I will frequently change the stream of souls that accommodate you, because that is not only a restriction on your authority, but also on those souls that have blocked you. They also have the right to enter the body and write their own life. After a certain period of time,
I will let that piece of soul be free, and then temporarily recruit another piece of soul to wrap your nature
"These souls come from different civilizations and have not been cleansed. The piece of soul that surrounds you now comes from a nearby civilization. You have lived with this civilization as the background since you were born. When Lamastia stole you, it was
When I was preparing to replace this group of souls and let them be free, I just wanted to see Lamastia and the others for allowing these souls to return to the physical life within the barrier, so I will not bear this guilt with that world."
In the end, Heller stood up slowly and brought the topic back,
"Going back to the original question, my dear, it is because in countless reincarnations in the past, you, as nothingness, have never had consciousness. When you were in charge of the universe, everything was always blind and stupid, but you
In this universe, something different breaks out in this time
"This may be an opportunity. My dear, in the next time, I will take you to feel the [meaning] of the existence of the universe. In this way, after a long time, you may be able to make some changes for the better. In this way, when the authority turns
In your hands, when the universe returns to chaos, everything may be different
"That's why I emerged from the darkness and violently interfered with the operation of the universe, just to take you away."
Faced with Heller, who was telling everything clearly and honestly at this moment, Fisher had a little understanding.
This is normal. After all, from his perspective, it is impossible for him to instantly understand Heller's intentions from such a macro perspective of the universe.
He also understood that it was precisely because of this confusion in his heart that Heller had the reason to take him away.
""
But the thought was already squeezed into his chest, but something was blocked, preventing him from easily agreeing.
He suddenly recalled Rafael, who was still waiting for him to go back with her soul.
He suddenly recalled Jasmine, and finally he had the opportunity to make up for her past regrets.
He suddenly recalled Valentina. They had obviously agreed before to go see the Colorful Winged Whales together.
He thought of Alagina again, who had been waiting for him to take on responsibilities and give her a home; and as for Eliog, she was probably also looking forward to seeing him when she woke up.
The regrets he had with Elizabeth in the past have not yet been made clear. He tried his best to pull her back from her mistakes. Is it just to punish her?
He had seen how she moaned his name while the tent was riddled with holes, and he hoped that he could reach out to save her when she lost her eyes and was struggling.
Renee
Yes, and Renee.
He was the only person she knew well and could rely on in that world. After she left, she knew no one in that world. Even Lamastia and the others, who were both enemies and friends, were all dead. She had to
Is this going to leave her there?
this
Fisher opened his mouth and looked at Heller who gently stretched out his hand. He gritted his teeth and touched his chest.
There is no restlessness without authority, there is just the beating heartbeat.
"Bang bang bang bang"
"I"
Fisher's eyes trembled slightly, and then he gently raised his head to look at Heller and whispered to her,
"I don't want to go anywhere."
""
Heller's body did not move, but behind her, in the endless darkness, an indescribable look of giantness suddenly surged in her eyes.
But feeling the creeping darkness in front of him, Fisher remained motionless. He just sat upright and looked straight at Heller in front of him.
""
In front of him, the humanoid body remained motionless like a doll. It was not until he was silent for a while that Heller in front of him withdrew his hand again.
The divinity in her blue-gold, smiling eyes became increasingly profound, but it did not bring frightening pressure.
She squatted down slightly, sighed and said,
"Well, maybe this kind of accident itself is also a meaning of existence."
"What's the meaning?"
"Do you still remember the game we played ten thousand years ago?"
Heller just smiled and asked rhetorically.
"Game?" Fisher quickly recalled the details at that time, and he tentatively said, "One price, three gifts."
Heller nodded with satisfaction, then clapped his fingers and reminded Fisher,
"Yes, tens of thousands of years ago, because we wanted to ensure the timeline of the birth of your consciousness, it was no longer possible to take you away forcefully. Therefore, I gave you two gifts to help you and the world tide over the difficulties. One is [
Prophecy of Destruction], one is [Infinite Authority]"
With the last index finger still standing in front of Fisher's eyes, Heller added,
"Originally, within the timeline of my observation, it was impossible for you to discover my true intentions in any case, so in the end you would not use conspiracy to force my last incarnation to appear to save your soul. Therefore, according to the original
In the timeline, there will still be an incarnation of me left within the current barriers. And my last gift is to take out the incarnation and preserve that world. By then, the three gifts have been fulfilled, and you should fulfill your obligation and leave with me.
"price"
Yes, in fact, until the last moment, he always thought that the ocean was coming towards the nature in his body.
Although there are some contradictions along the way, these contradictions cannot be explained, and most of them can be excused by cherishing the nature.
If I had to thank someone for letting Fisher figure out the hurdles involved,
Fisher couldn't help but reach out and touch the [ ] on his chest that had become shriveled up, leaving only a book cover.
Immediately, his gaze became firmer.
He must go back.
"But now, you win this game, my dear, as part of the promise, I can tell where the world wrapped in barriers is now. At that time, Azan Ross designed the strength of His own hiding for this small world, and it was not always the case.
It's so simple to stay where you are. You have the blessing of Ajahn Ross. Before sending you to the fence, the fence will show up and let you pass. As for me to pass, I have to catch that coward."
Fisher's heart couldn't help but be clenched, and a sense of excitement that seemed to spurt from the depths of his soul surged into his heart, making his body tremble.
But Heller in front of him seemed to be predicting the future, and added what he said next,
"But dear, you should know that the time limit for returning will not be forever."
The surrounding darkness slowly dispersed like clouds and mist, revealing the vast universe outside that was bursting with light in the midst of destruction. Beyond that, there were countless stars scattered across the universe, among which there may be sparks of civilization or hidden ones.
I don’t know how many extremely powerful gods there are
Heller looked outside at the celestial body that was undergoing annihilation, and his smile gradually turned into a blank expression.
"Just like this universe, even if we are as powerful as you and I, we cannot avoid the moment when it comes to an end; just like all life knows that one day in the future, the nightmare called 'death' will come to your door, dear.
"
The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she withdrew her gaze from the splendid annihilation, and turned to look at Fisher, who was also looking at the annihilation in front of her.
"You are a [human being] now because you have been put into the human body created by the transferred person since you were born. But your soul and the nature of your body determine that one day you will escape from this world.
Identity. But now, when you are only thirty years old, everything you care about will turn into ashes in the long river of time. This is determined by the nature of your body and is an unavoidable truth of the universe. However, this is not the case for you alone.
, you will be as eternal as me
"So, when your heart becomes empty because of the death of everything, that's when I show up to pick you up and leave that world.
"Even if you knew the result earlier, would you still go back, my dear?"
Hearing this, Fisher's eyes couldn't help but lowered slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved a little helplessly, but perhaps because of a little unwillingness in his heart, he couldn't help but joke,
"My heart became empty because of death. You mean, after Rafael and the others disappeared? You know, I am a greedy person. Maybe I will keep looking for new loves in the infinite years to come.
To fill the vacancy in my heart? In this way, I will never leave with you."
But Heller seemed to have seen through everything, she just said nonchalantly,
"If you want, just do what you like because I know that the hole will never be filled by then. Only by returning to my side will you feel satisfied. And even if you, my dear, still don't believe it,
The evil place chooses to try, and compared to the time scale I mentioned for us to be together, it is just an insignificant period of time."
As he listened, the smile on Fisher's face couldn't help but fade a little.
And until the end, the smile on his face gradually turned into a touch of relief, and he immediately spoke, more sincerely than ever before.
He said,
"You are right, after all, I have changed my mind."
"Haha, then, do you still want to choose to go back, my dear?"
This time, there was no other color in Fisher's eyes. He just nodded more decisively,
"Ah, I want to go back. Maybe this is just a small period of time for you, maybe even the miniature world within the fence is nothing more than that. However, all things born in nature have their meanings given by themselves. Now that I
My soul and nature are all trapped in human beings, so let me search for the complete meaning of human beings for the time being.”
Heller smiled, but the image that Fisher was so familiar with gradually began to become distorted, like a mirror, gradually dissolving into darkness.
But when it was time to leave, the smile on her face was still there,
she said,
"Human?"
Then, the entire universe seemed to become smaller in front of His darkness, and the body of the ocean in the darkness dragged Fisher across everything in an instant.
Countless distant planets and galaxies around him were suddenly refreshed in a movement close to teleportation. When they stopped, the ocean took Fisher to a space that seemed extremely empty and devoid of anything.
But when the ocean stayed here, Fisher knew that in this seemingly empty space in front of him, there lurked a [new world] wrapped in huge fences.
The darkness in front of me gradually dispersed, forming a huge passage. At the end of the passage, it seemed that Fisher, who was carrying the blessing of Azan Ross, gradually flickered with golden light, gradually turning this dark universe into a
Light up.
Fisher's heartbeat quickened little by little, and his steps seemed to be pulled by the tangible golden light, heading uncontrollably towards the gradually opening golden fence.
His face was illuminated little by little, but then, he turned back and looked behind him.
Behind him, in the thick darkness, a pair of indescribable objects that looked like blue-gold eyes stared at him quietly.
Later, Haiyang said to Fisher with a smile,
"Go, savior, enjoy everything you have won and write a new chapter of it now."
""
Fisher looked at the darkness behind him. He originally wanted to say some words of farewell, but for some reason, the words reached his throat, but disappeared silently.
It was as if he knew that this was not a farewell.
Maybe as Haiyang said, they will never be separated, so how can they say goodbye?
So, before leaving, he smiled and whispered to Heller behind him,
"See you later."
""
Haiyang didn't respond, just like that profound angel, quietly watching him leave with an incomprehensible smile.
The golden light gradually swallowed up Fisher and reintegrated him into the world of his birth, causing him to gradually disappear into the golden light and never be found again.
