Chapter 87: Does drinking poison quench thirst?

Alice stared blankly at the screen that had turned completely black, not knowing what she was thinking.

Tiandis closed his eyes when he saw the last scene, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared, replaced by a kind of indifference, as if the person who just appeared in the picture was not him.

After Themis of Heaven silently closed this lengthy file record, her eyes swept over Alice and Tiandis one after another, and finally fell back on Saint Xalia. She seemed to be deliberately forcing herself,

Don't look at the two people next to you.

When the audience watched this scene, they couldn't help but feel a great sadness and indescribable complex emotions in their hearts, especially Saint Charya, because in every long period of her life, she never looked like this for a moment.

At this moment, she could feel the impermanence and changes of fate so clearly. Those silk threads that once crawled docilely in her palms fell on every tiny individual, but they were as heavy as mountains.

Destiny goes around and around each other, eventually making everything look strange. At this moment, staring at the screen in a daze, still unable to believe that she is Alice, the young queen, she will see the Alice of the past in her

Shadow? At this time, Tiandis, who is meditating with his eyes closed and looking cold, thinks that the serious, stern, but occasionally tender black-haired girl in the past is his previous life? He is so calm at this time that he doesn't even have a trace of expression.

When Themis of Heaven saw that girl with the same appearance as herself, throwing herself into her sister's arms and crying like an ordinary girl, would there be a moment when a familiar memory flashed through her heart?

?

Emotions and impulses closely connected each other, but in the end fate and time separated everything. They were once so close, but now standing here, they are more like three lonely strangers, staring at the shadow of the past and chatting.

comfort.

The emotion of silence is contagious, and the atmosphere gradually becomes so oppressive that even the heartbeat and breathing are difficult to hear. Everyone feels like a drowning fish. If they don't do something, they will drown completely. So someone finally spoke,

Breaking the silence, he asked softly: "So, what is the result?"

Themis of Heaven asked subconsciously: "What knot..."

Suddenly she realized something was wrong, she quickly put on a small face and asked again in an emotionless tone: "The judgment is: unable to judge. Please correct your question and give a more accurate description, visitor."

Tiandis finally opened his eyes and glanced at her lightly: "Do you have to speak in this tone, Themis of Heaven?"

The girl did not answer, or did not dare to answer. She just pursed her lips tightly, looking a little stubborn.

Linge repeated the question word by word: "Since the codename recorded in this file is Rebel, we already know the cause of the rebellion; we have also seen the process, but what was the final result of that battle?

What? Why did Eden disappear, why did the goddess fall, and how did the Mirror Star appear? Could it be——"

He paused for a moment before slowly speaking out his guess: "Was it that battle that led to the destruction of Eden?"

This question was quite sharp, but Tiandis did not get angry. He just took a deep look at Ringer and said meaningfully: "Eden has never disappeared."

Before Ling Ge could think about what this sentence meant, she changed the subject and said: "As for the result of that battle, you have actually seen it, both sides suffered. Those false gods seriously injured me, along with the Heavenly Ones."

The temple fell to the earth together, but the young queen will not die, only sleep and reincarnation, so I am still standing in front of you now; as for them, they did not get what they wanted, but were killed by me.

, leave no one behind.”

The corner of her mouth slowly raised a cold and sarcastic arc: "That's what I've always wanted to do, but I didn't expect that it would finally come true in this way. It's really ironic."

Hearing these words, Alice, who was still in a daze, couldn't help but tremble, while Themis of Heaven lowered her head silently without saying a word. Time will change many things, just as she is no longer the same person as before,

Alice is no longer the same Alice, and Tiandis is no longer the same Tiandis.

Everyone was speechless. The two young girls' royal powers were seriously injured, and the false gods who participated in the rebellion were all killed and injured. It sounds like this is a result that neither party is satisfied with. What is the root cause of the conflict? What each side pursues

What is it? And who is the person who suffered the most harm in this battle? Things have already happened, and the time is too far away. Looking back on them seems to have lost its meaning.

"I'm curious about something." A voice suddenly came from the crowd. Everyone turned to look and found that it was the countess who was speaking. She had a stern face, ignoring her granddaughter who was desperately holding her hand beside her, anxiously

Wanting to dissuade him, he still asked the question: "Young Queen is obviously the descendant of the goddess and controls the great laws of the world. Why was she defeated by a few false gods among mortals? If Alice...the Alice in the past

It was because you trusted your friends too much and did not anticipate their sneak attack. Miss Tiandis, as a real king, you have distrusted those false gods from the beginning and have been wary of them. Could it be that you would also fail for the same reason?

?”

This question seemed to be more pointed than Ringer's question just now, but Tiandis was still not angry. He just looked at the countess with interest with his black onyx eyes. Leticia thought she was going to

The grandma who bullied her quickly jumped out to protect her, bared her teeth and claws, and issued threats, even though there was no deterrent effect.

"I remember you, Miss Neville, Countess of the Peninsula." Tiandis suddenly said: "I heard Dimes mentioned that you once met Heinrich by chance in his secret study, and you also met her unexpectedly.

A battle broke out, right? In this case, I can understand why you raised this question. In fact, it is not difficult to explain. Do you remember what I told you before about the nature of magic?

"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Neville still remembers it, or rather, it is impossible to forget it, and immediately replied: "It is the spirituality under the goddess's crown, and it is also the spirit that mortals borrow from her.

The medium through which the power of law is drawn.”

"Yes, Mother gave the young girl the power of the Queen's Law, and at the same time lent the Law to mortals. If that is the case, why do you always subconsciously feel that the Law He gave the Girl the Queen's Law and the Law lent to mortals are actually two kinds of things?

Are there high or low things?" Tiandis said with deep meaning: "Perhaps you think Mother is partial and treats her children differently from her own creations. But Mother

His fraternity is far beyond your imagination. In His eyes, all living things and all matter exist equally, without distinction of superiority or inferiority. Therefore, the laws controlled by the queen's sovereignty are actually not the same as the laws controlled by mortals.

The only difference is in magnitude. Just like the flame lit by a piece of paper and the flame lit by a forest. Although the former is weak and the latter is more intense, can you say that the two flames are different?

"

Of course not.

"This characteristic still exists today, and it can be seen in the extraordinary system of mortals. Extraordinary beings like the [Creator] path can shape things with magic power. Could it be that it has the same essence as Miss Rorona's [Creation] royal power?

Is it possible that an extraordinary person like the [Poet] path can create works that touch people's hearts and even control other people's emotions at will? Doesn't it come from the same source as Miss Gloria's [Soul] kingship? So, a piece of paper

Although the flames ignited are weak, if many flames gather together, they may not be comparable to the huge flames ignited by a forest."

Tiandis smiled: "This is the case with the false gods in the World of Eden. Of course, with their magic power, they may be able to successfully sneak attack on the unprepared Alice, but they are no match for those who are prepared in advance.

I. They themselves know this, so they made a very cunning decision, which can also be said to be very smart, that is to destroy the magic recording device. It stores a huge amount of origin magic and does not participate in the magic cycle of the Eden world.

, but used to maintain the operation of the entire Heavenly Temple. After they absorbed those origin magic powers, they became qualified to fight against me. However, this crazy approach also indirectly led to the subsequent tragedy."

tragedy?

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, but Linger was thoughtful. He remembered that before entering the Temple of Heaven, Saint Xalia once said that the origin of magic is magic that can only be used by goddesses and maiden queens; and Tiandis

He also said that the laws controlled by mortals are actually no different from the laws controlled by the Queen. In this case, why does the goddess deliberately distinguish the difference between origin magic power and ordinary magic power? Wouldn't it be good to treat everyone equally and give mortals the qualifications to use origin magic power?

Already?

Unless there is some reason why mortals cannot use the magic of origin.

"That's the difference in soul." Tiandis said softly: "The soul of the young queen was carefully created by Mother, and is endowed with many unique characteristics, such as eternal life and reincarnation; while the soul of a mortal is

Most of them are based on the same template, because there are too many, and it is impossible for Mother to create them one by one. Origin magic is a transmission medium that is more efficient, faster and without delay than ordinary magic. This means that when using origin magic

, the soul actually communicates with the law at a deeper level, and the feedback from the law will continuously wash away your soul, trying to assimilate it. Only the special soul of the Young Queen can bear the burden of using the magic of origin, while ordinary souls can only

It will gradually lose itself under this kind of erosion and become part of the law. Therefore, Mother created ordinary magic that is gentler and has smaller side effects for mortals to use."

Washing away the soul and assimilating thoughts? A flash of light flashed in Ringer's mind: "Erosion phenomenon?"

"That's right." Tiandis nodded slightly: "Another advantage of origin magic compared to ordinary magic is that because it is in direct contact with the law, that power can be used without being familiar with it. In another sense,

It’s the so-called [Royal Power]. However, you all know the consequences of rashly contacting and using a power that you are not familiar with.”

It's nothing more than losing control, going berserk, and self-destruction.

"So, in that battle, Nigflame and other false gods could be said to have died in my hands, or they could have died from their own greed, ambition and excessive demands. It is not a pity that they died.

, but the problem is that after their death, the origin magic absorbed in their bodies escaped and lost control of the magic recording device. With the fall of the Temple of Heaven and the operation of the magic circulation system, it gradually spread to the entire Iraq.

You should know what this means."

Tiandis's meaningful look made everyone, including Linge, shudder: Doesn't this mean that from now on, every inch of land, every creature and even every substance in the world of Eden will absorb the magic power?

Will all of them be mixed with origin magic power that mortals cannot use? This is simply like, simply like...

"It's like living in a polluted ocean." Rorona whispered, with a rare hint of sadness in her tone: "Breathing the poisonous sea breeze, drinking the smoky sea water thirsty, sighing and being surrounded by the thick smoke.

The sky filled with stench...even the fish and corals began to rot and die. If a sea area is reduced to this state, then its future is destined to be devoid of any life."

In other words, there is no future left.

"Unfortunately, some people don't think so." Tiandis sneered: "They all think this is a good thing - the fall of the Temple of Heaven is a good thing, because no one can restrict them from absorbing magic anymore; Origin

The spread of magic power is a good thing, because it symbolizes a power that is more powerful than ordinary magic power; even the death of those false gods is probably a good thing for them. After all, if the gods above them do not die, they

Where is the chance to get ahead?"

When everyone thinks this is a good thing, they naturally ignore the risks hidden in the dark and only focus on the immediate benefits. That's why Tiandis said that mortals are accustomed to grasping the current race. This not only refers to

Their emotions are closely linked to their short lifespan, which also indicates that they cannot accept waiting, let alone see the long-term future. Even those extraordinary people with long lifespans do not have any consciousness of being immortals. They always long for

If you get something, you must get it immediately; if you are afraid of losing something, then postpone losing it until the distant future. The future has nothing to do with them, so losing is not unacceptable.

"Drink poison to quench thirst."

Alice, who had been looking at the screen in silence, suddenly spit out a slang that no one understood.

Only people who have also been exposed to earth culture will know the meaning of this sentence and find it very appropriate.

Tiantis even asked Ringer directly: "If you were about to die of thirst, and there was a bottle of venom in front of you, would you choose to drink the venom to quench your thirst, or not drink it?"
