Chapter 482 Victory Conditions for the Battle of God's Choice
Todd was stunned for a moment, and then said in an incredible tone: "You mean... you are an ancient Taero from a thousand years ago?!"
Meredith frowned slightly: "What? Is there something wrong?"
"Of course! Don't you think it's amazing that you have lived for thousands of years and you are still so... young?!"
Meredith shook her head disapprovingly, looked at the huge black dragon in front of her, and said, "If it's weird, why don't you look at yourself?"
Todd paused, looked down at his dragon body, and was speechless for a moment.
Meredith sat back on the stone pier, put the crow mask next to her, and said softly: "I can survive today, on the one hand, because of the gift from the tyrant, and on the other hand, because of the help of my master."
Todd asked with great interest: "So, you are already immortal?"
"Do you think this feeling is good?" Meredith stroked Black Feather with her fingers, helplessness and sadness flowed in her eyes: "For me, whether it is people or things, as time goes by, I just
I could watch them slowly move away from me. When I looked back, I found that the whole world was no longer familiar to me, and in the end I was alone."
Todd lay down and put the dragon's head next to Meredith: "Indeed, loneliness is the most painful punishment for human beings."
Meredith touched the dragon scales on Todd's head: "In these thousand years, I have been married seven times and given birth to sixteen children."
Todd opened his eyes wide.
"At the beginning, I tried to change my identity to integrate into human society and live simply. However, my husband and children slowly grew old in front of me, but I was still the same as before. Guess what?
, How will my family, friends, and neighbors look at me? Let me tell you, fear, alienation, or even hostility..."
Todd listened quietly to Meredith's confession without saying a word.
"I could only cruelly abandon my family when my children were still young, and leave to avoid people's rumors and slander. I kept my name anonymous, hiding in the dark and watching my family secretly, watching my children learn
Walk, learn to talk, learn to be scolded for the first time
"Motherless bastards" and go fight..." Meredith lowered her head and whispered: "What saddens me the most is that when the children die and are put in the coffin, at the funeral, all I can do is
Hiding behind the tree, waiting for the crowd to disperse, I can present a bouquet of flowers from my mother."
Todd sighed inaudibly: "Eternal life is not a good thing."
Meredith's figure was as cold and lonely as a deep valley. She said quietly: "When I left my seventh home, I couldn't bear the pain anymore. I moved to the Kingdom of Shadows, with my
The master lived together. During these hundreds of years, except for occasionally going out to deal with my own affairs, I would stay on the island most of the time. Sometimes no one would talk to me for a month or two, because the only person who accompanied me was
Those strange creatures."
"Here, I became the guide in the trials of demigods. Great heroes came to me one after another, seeking the path to becoming gods. After many attempts, they only left piles of dead bones as witnesses.
No longer exists." In Meredith's aqua blue eyes, bits and pieces of the past flashed through: "Witnessing the vivid lives passing away in front of my eyes made me gradually understand the inner thoughts of Master Scathach.
expectations.”
"She is very similar to me. We are both waiting, waiting for someone to arrive, waiting for this person to show us the ultimate future."
Meredith looked at the large and small scars on Todd's body and said softly: "Scathach was originally optimistic about Cu Chulainn, but the latter's short-sightedness only saw the rise and fall of the kingdom, but he never
She didn’t consider the continuation of race and civilization, so in the end, she chose you.”
Todd put his chin on the ground and was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered something: "Meredith, I heard Scathach said that you are one of the candidates for the Battle of God's Choice?"
The latter responded: "Are you talking about the competition initiated by absolute will? My life is already suffering from eternal life, and I don't want to add another layer of shackles to my body."
Todd raised his head: "Since you have met Akira...Absolute Will, you should know the identities of Scathach and Leviathan."
"They are the servants of the Absolute Will in the mortal world, responsible for cooperating in the battle of God's Chosen."
"Okay, the word servant is a little ambiguous, but I guess they won't care." Todd continued to ask: "Have you heard the conditions for winning the Battle of God's Chosen?"
"Win condition?" Meredith smiled and poked Todd's nose with her finger: "Tell me, do you really want to become a god?"
Todd tilted his head, looked at Meredith and said, "If a lunatic like Cu Chulainn is allowed to win the Battle of God's Chosen, the whole world will probably usher in darkness."
Meredith smiled and shook her head: "The three paths to victory proposed by Absolute Will are actually almost impossible to achieve."
Todd was a little surprised: "Isn't possible? Why?"
"Let's talk about strength first. Make yourself powerful enough to defeat any force or creature in the world, including those prehistoric monsters hidden underground and in the deep sea. Then, this list should naturally include Leviathan. Do you think someone
Can you defeat him?"
Todd thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.
Jingsu said that the power proposed to win requires the power of the candidate to be strong enough to defeat any creature on the planet, including Jingsu's first creations - Leviathan and Scathach, as well as other hidden creatures.
Forerunner. This is an almost impossible task.
Meredith continued: "Besides, if you win by conquering, you will directly or indirectly occupy more than half of the world's land. It seems that this condition is the simplest, but it is actually the most difficult. Because land does not only exist on the continent.
They also exist in the ocean, but they are swallowed by the sea water and cannot be seen normally."
"Wait a minute." Todd raised his head and interrupted Meredith: "You mean, the conditions for conquest include not only the land, but also the ocean? This is not reasonable at all, right?"
Meredith said funny: "How could it be unreasonable? I heard my master say that a long time ago, there were many cities and kingdoms in the sea, and they even wanted to go ashore to conquer the land. Even now, who knows
Are there still living things living on the seabed? Therefore, it is naturally impossible to exclude the ocean from the conquest conditions."
Todd was a little dumbfounded when he heard Meredith's analysis.
He originally thought that this victory condition was the easiest to achieve, but he did overlook that the land Jingsu mentioned not only included land, but also included the continental shelf of the ocean.
Therefore, the condition for victory in conquest is actually to conquer more than half of the world.
Todd said somewhat disheartenedly: "Then the last way to victory is left - the victory of faith."
When talking about the victory of faith, Meredith's face showed hesitation for the first time.
"I'm actually a little confused about the victory of faith mentioned by the Absolute Will." The woman bit her lower lip and thought hard: "The Absolute Will only said this - 'Convert more than half of the world's population into your own.
Believers, there are no restrictions on methods and forms."
"There are several vague concepts here. The first is population. I think the absolute will refers to not only humans, but also other intelligent races, and even some unexpected things."
"The second thing is believers. To what extent can they be called believers? Can they be considered believers as long as they pray and kneel down, or do they need to complete other things?"
"The last thing is that sentence - there are no restrictions on methods and forms." Meredith said this, frowning: "I thought about this sentence from Absolute Will for a long time, but I still don't understand what method is.
There are no restrictions on the format?”
Todd also started thinking.
Jingsu proposed three ways to win the battle of God's Choice. To win by strength, you need to challenge many powerful creatures, including the forerunners Scathach and Leviathan. Unless the organisms evolve to an advanced stage, it can be said that winning by strength is basically impossible.
possible tasks.
Conquering and winning not only requires controlling the land territory, but also completing the construction of colonies or outposts in the ocean. This can only be achieved by raising the technology tree to a certain level, and it seems to be a long way off.
In the end, there is the victory of faith..."Convert more than half of the world's population into your own believers, with no restrictions on the methods and forms."
Jingsu's words sound simple and easy to understand, but upon careful analysis, they are full of doubts.
Todd took a long breath toward the sky. It seemed that winning the battle of God's Choice was not an easy matter at all.
