Annan said leisurely: "Any great-level cursed object must pay the same price while possessing great power enough to restrain the Righteous God."
Just like using a smoke mirror, it will be sealed into the painting; the holder of the Three Sirens will suffer a continuous triple debuff; the user of the Fourth Histories must also bear a fourfold curse.
So, the Curse of Black Mamenni - what is the price that must be paid for using this great curse?
"So, I've been thinking about it since just now."
Annan pointed at his temple with [Bone Picker's Forgiveness], narrowed his eyes and looked at Vladimir: "Could it be that... your ability to be immune to divine interference is not the ability of this great level spell.
"—but its price?"
It's not like "when attacked by someone with a higher level than yourself, you will be exiled and remain invincible".
But "cannot be interfered by any god".
This indeed allowed him to escape from the punishment of the Sin Absolver, but it also meant that... the gods' blessings on him could not be used.
"If this effect is absolute, then in fact, you are not just unable to be attacked by gods - you are also unable to be healed or blessed by divine magic. You cannot be [buried] and sleep peacefully after death. The corpse
It cannot be [decomposed], no one will have a [dispute] with you, and no one will [transact] with you.
"You cannot use the power of ice, nor can you ignite fire. You cannot use the power of tradition and law to protect yourself or restrain others. You cannot use rituals or perform creative acts. You cannot obtain desire from an expectation.
Not to mention being 'blessed by Miss Good Luck' and getting good luck...
"Because you refuse all interference from the gods - and this cannot be the main ability of this great curse."
Because the disadvantages of this ability far outweigh the advantages.
This is more like a side effect of using this spell.
Being able to take advantage of this side effect is indeed a talent.
"But you can still use conspiracy, or you can murder me. So this price may not be as absolute as I guessed... but it will definitely separate you from the gods. In this era, there is no contact with this at all.
"Living Pillar of the World", then you are basically equivalent to being exiled from this world.
"This is why Selicia has never been able to find you. It's not that you are hiding somewhere, but that you are originally [the person who is not being observed]!"
Annan spoke in a positive tone and said words that were just inferences.
He didn't have any evidence, but the more he spoke, the more confident he became.
Because as he thought... his "understanding" of Vladimir also continued to deepen.
"Because there is no one-way interference, the power of the gods cannot interfere with you, which means that you cannot interfere with the gods. For a great-level curse, this obviously cannot meet the special needs of 'checking and balancing the righteous gods'.
"According to another statement about the Smoke Mirror - only the White Girl can use the Smoke Mirror without paying any price. I speculate that the 'Black Mameni' also needs a certain siren to actually use it...for example, Qing Tiao."
"Qing Tiao" Li Geya, among the three sirens, corresponds to "the soul of the sinner".
Her ability is to cleanse the memory, emotions, concepts of good and evil, moral values and other acquired gifts in the listener's heart, and return everything to its original and most essential pure state.
By comparing the abilities of White Girl and Smoke Mirror, Annan can draw an inference: Qing Tiao may also be related to Black Mamenni's true ability.
"Then let's go back - if Black Mameni's ability does not prevent you from being killed by stronger enemies, then I have a new speculation."
Annan said slowly: "Did you know? If translated, the meaning of 'Black Mameni' means 'universal destiny'."
After saying these words, Vladimir's complexion changed for the first time.
He obviously didn't know about this.
He had never even heard of the name.
"In a certain philosophical view of 'Hemameni', it describes an obstacle. 'My' spirit comes from a perfect universe, but this world is full of sin, ignorance, errors and imperfections.
, so I am suffering from the entanglement of fate - because 'my' spirit should not be in this world in the first place..."
Having said this, Annan suddenly paused.
He was silent for a moment, and then continued nonchalantly: "This is a [dualism] that explains man and the universe, light and darkness, wisdom and ignorance. It believes that the material world itself is a huge cage, and each person's body is just
Shackles... 'Universal Destiny', also known as 'Black Mameni', is just an evil rule that blinds everyone's 'soul', causing them to fall into this dark world and be played by fate throughout their lives - this is what is called
of Gnosticism.”
Resentment. Fear. Despair.
Curse. Cry. Wail.
This is the pessimistic and hateful attitude that the Gnostics have towards the universe.
"—Same as you."
Annan took a deep look at Vladimir.
In other words.
"Black Mameni is the shackles themselves. It is the black cloth that binds human beings with the so-called 'fate' and blinds other people's intelligence..."
The moment Annan said these words.
His heart suddenly became bright.
The light even penetrated his skin and illuminated the entire "dream" around him, turning the surrounding world into a piece of light.
That is the light of [understanding].
Only one step away from the truth, he crossed the "wall of ignorance" and suddenly understood everything.
What he knew in his heart and what he wanted to say was even beyond his imagination.
He doesn't think, he reasons and then speaks through his mouth.
Instead, his mouth just kept on talking about something to himself——
"If I guess correctly," Annan said slowly, "your ability to see the fate of others... should come from the 'Black Mameni', not a gift from some worm."
"...This is not a conflict, and I didn't deceive you."
When Annan said this, Vladimir finally spoke and responded to Annan's speculation for the first time: "Because this 'Black Mameni' was given to me by the worm.
"It does allow me to see a 'possible' future..."
"In other words, it is [a certain possibility of fate]."
Annan narrowed his eyes and said forcefully: "Why did you want to deliberately mislead me before? How did you know that the Three Siren in my hand has the ability to control your mind? There is only one possibility -
"That's what you have seen, the future in a certain destiny line that says 'I will use the Three Sirens to change your mind'!"
