"They... these stupid humans shouldn't be able to get here for a while. I have been bound here for hundreds of years, and even I don't know the true picture of this place." The Lord of Yongchi smiled bitterly and shook a few times.
After shaking off a few black and fluttering cylindrical metal sheets from the tree-trunk-like body, he continued:
"Back then, this group of Crusaders, who claimed to be fearless, fearless, and keen on fighting, tricked me here out of fear of the fate of the so-called thousand-year empire's collapse, and tried to completely bind me.
Sequential monsters come to continue to drain my energy."
"What happens next?" Wright asked, looking at the soil on the ground near the body of the Lord of Eternal Red.
"The Crusaders' attempt has naturally failed. It is wishful thinking to use human bodies to control the top gods." The Lord of Yongchi replied, with a somewhat proud look on his face that belonged to an upper-class person.
"But now you are really trapped here, and so am I. Since waking up a few days ago, I have been looking for a way out through the 'red magic source power' in my body, but unfortunately I have found nothing. This place is like a
It's a maze full of randomness, sometimes it's a palace, sometimes it's a desert, sometimes it's a glacier and a forest, all in all there's no clue." Wright said helplessly as he looked at the dark realm beyond the dim lights around him.
"That's because of greed, endless greed and mismatched IQ and ability." The Lord of Yongchi said angrily:
"Human beings are always greedy and want to pursue eternal things. The sequence monster they activated is called 'Bizuni's Tears' in an attempt to control my body, but the eternal fire in my body instantly overflowed, and the endless 'burning fire' almost
Destroyed settlements built for scientific experiments.
"And the rich flame magic power in my body happened to be combined with the high concentration of 'sorrow' that turned into black smoke, so that it destroyed my body and turned me into this half-god and half-monster. And
, during this period, I lost most of my divinity, and the remaining sequence core was constantly damaged in the endless hours and nights. Judging from purely quantifiable strength, my current level of magic source power is estimated to be only sequence level 3.
:Combat level.”
"The 'combat' level is not considered weak anymore. In an era when the magic source power has been greatly reduced and is becoming increasingly scarce, there may not be a few in the entire Zine Empire or the Crusted Federation. You know, I am also now
It’s just sequence level 5: pain level.” Wright comforted the Lord of Eternal Red.
"I'm not the same as you." The Lord of Yongchi suddenly raised his head, stared at Wright's black pupils with his red eyes, and said seriously:
"You are a person with full 'divine nature', the lucky one chosen by humans and gods. You have also inherited the 'touch of darkness' belonging to the ancient gods, and the inherited power 'red magic source power' that countless people have dreamed of.
'.Even...you are still a [Order], your promotion is the slowest among all 16 order groups, and you have to go through additional rounds of silence and pain.
"Other professionals or non-professionals consume twice as much energy as you [Order] to advance to two orders, but the power they gain is equivalent to you obtaining one order core."
"I don't know much about this, and I don't care about power and promotion. I only know that I am an ordinary person from an alien plane who was forced to come to this world. At first, I just wanted to go home, but now, I just want to know
the truth."
"The truth? What a childish and very ridiculous word. Hahahaha, hahahaha, hahahaha..." The Lord of Yongchi laughed wildly for almost half a minute, and then took a few deep breaths amidst the trembling caused by shortness of breath.
, continued:
"Did you know? Those clergy and even some scientists from the old empire claim that [Order] is a one-in-a-thousand person. There is less than one thousandth chance that 'Order' will appear in the identification of 'Order Cards'
'This card.
"But they never told you that in fact, the [Order] is not 'one in a thousand' or 'one in ten thousand', but the 'only' existence."
"The 'only' existence?" Wright repeated mechanically, somewhat difficult to understand.
"That's right." The Lord of Yongchi nodded slightly and said:
"There is only one [Order] at the same time, and there can be no more than three [Orders] in an era. [Order], [Order], as the name suggests, is the existence that maintains the most basic operation of the world. When an era
When it needs to end and enter a new era, the [Order] will appear to lead it.
"Either you are in a high position like Ivan XXII, controlling the overall situation like an emperor and promoting all development, or you are like those [Orders] who have been eliminated by the long river of history, inadvertently in the course of history.
The right decision happened to be made at the node. In other words, your appearance itself comes with the 'supreme and only mission'."
"'Mission'? For me, is it to end the Wasteland Era and usher in the 'Star Era'?" Wright asked further, half-stepping forward, almost touching the handsome face of the Lord of Eternal Red.
Already.
"Maybe, maybe not. I don't have the divine power to obtain the attitude of the Creator now. I can only help you guess from the perspective of an ordinary person. But..." The Lord of Yongchi sneered:
"This also means that everything you have is given by the Creator himself. The 'truth' you want to know may be the 'most sensitive information' that the Creator must conceal."
"I don't understand." Wright shook his head and turned away.
"You must know that this world is a terrible dream that the Creator is experiencing. When He wakes up from this nightmare, all existence, including the continent, the sun, the stars and the universe will disappear in an instant and turn into nothingness.
It's like it has never appeared before." The Lord of Yongchi explained:
"Originally, this dream could last for a long time, until the day comes when the universe is completely destroyed naturally. Since the 'Time of Praise of Fire', the initial explosion has been forcing the entire universe to expand to infinite distances. In the world we are in
Under the dimension, time and space exist infinitely, and the universe is naturally infinite.
"When the power of darkness continues to expand and fills everything, the planet will no longer exist, and the star will turn into a black hole and swallow everything."
"Do you gods also know astronomy and other scientific knowledge?" Wright asked with great interest.
"This is part of the 'principles', and it is an existence that has been set by the Creator. Isn't human scientific research just discovering these inherently existing 'principles'?" the Lord of Eternal Red replied.
"It seems that there is indeed some truth to this. So, after the infinite expansion of the universe... what will happen in the end?" Wright asked.
"The stars will be torn apart and black holes will continue to appear, but civilization will still exist, just like...even in the darkest night sky, there will still be a weak light like fireflies." The Lord of Yongchi replied:
"But in the end, all material existence will eventually be completely torn apart and turned into the most basic physical particles, and the gods and new humans will continue to exist as energy bodies.
"In the end, the black hole will also evaporate, and the particles that maintain the existence of energy will be torn apart by the infinite expansion of space. All flames will eventually be extinguished, all movements will completely stop, and everything will become silent.
The universe also...died along with the Creator.
"So, as a [Order], you should recognize the destiny given to you by the Creator to end the Wasteland Era, and the truth has never been something that humans can touch. If the Creator is an existence that ordinary humans cannot peep into,
, then the so-called 'truth' is an existence that you, Wright Sukra, [the Orderer] cannot touch."
"An untouchable existence? What if I really see the 'truth' one day?" Wright turned around and asked, somewhat unwillingly.
"Then, you will immediately fall into infinite madness. Because the supreme thing that does not belong to you will completely tear your soul apart. A walking corpse that has lost its soul is the safest. They will no longer peep at anything.
Invisible things'." The Lord of Eternal Red replied, stretching out several arms that had long since turned into dry vines, wrapping them around Wright's waist and "stroking" him back and forth on the cheek.
Suddenly, all the eyes of the Lord of Eternal Red, including the whites and eyeballs, turned into a bright red color at the same time. He raised his head and said to Wright in the most severe "two-channel" ethereal voice:
"The so-called 'truth' about the formation of the wasteland world, I have already told you, is the consequences of Ivan XXII's 'New Construction Plan' buried a little further south. And your mission is to do everything you can to
, use your power, your red magic source power to end it.
"Did you know? This 'Red Fantasy Ruins' was originally a place full of changes. The emperor of the old empire imprisoned me here just to wait for my attitude."
"Attitude? What attitude?" Wright was a little flustered by the behavior of Lord Yongchi, and asked with a slightly trembling voice.
"It may be called 'compromise', or 'submission'. Because here, there is a 'wind wall' left by a more supreme god, which confines everything and fills this place with debilitating energy.
"Humans who mistakenly enter here will be turned into powder in an instant. Those with demonic power will have a complete mental breakdown in less than three hours if they enter here. And gods imprisoned here will slowly dissolve the divinity in their bodies and eventually become reduced to
A being that is even more despicable than a monster.
"And what caused all this was just the remains of the monster that a righteous young man killed with his own hands."
