"Oh, that's it." After listening to Ryder's explanation, the first thing Ivan did was to walk up to the bunny boy.
He looked at the rabbit with a smile on his face.
Then he raised his fist and struck Ryder hard on the head with lightning speed!
"Ouch!" The rabbit's eyes were full of stars as he knocked, "What are you doing?! It hurts so much! ------"
"You idiot! With such a useful artifact, why didn't you take it out earlier?!" Ivan said angrily. If Rabbit had taken out the Ring of Time and Space earlier, everyone could have avoided a lot of trouble.
"But, but, your knight leader Arthur* doesn't allow me to use it! If I take it out and use it randomly, he will cut off my ears again------"
(*Note: Ryder does not know that Arthur has defeated all the heavenly knights and been crowned king.)
"Idiot!" Ivan scolded angrily, "Arthur can't care about such a trivial matter. Let's just talk to him when we get back! Arthur won't mind using this artifact for combat."
(It’s hard to say, after all, it’s your grumpy group leader.)
(I’m probably going to have my arm chopped off this time.)
Tristan was busy wiping the mud on Ryder's body with a handkerchief. When he saw Ivan scolding Rabbit vigorously, he quickly defended Ryder and said, "Just stop scolding him. Little Rabbit has no obligation to help you.
It should be up to him to decide whether he wants to take action or not."
(Although it makes sense, but why? I always feel very angry when these words come from the mouth of this guy with a playful smile.)
"Um..." Ryder rolled his eyes at Tristan, "Can you please stop touching my tail? If you touch my tail again, it will fall off."
"Really?" Tristan rubbed it hard instead, as if he really expected the rabbit's tail to fall off, "Ah hahaha, this furry touch, I really want to rub it off and take it home..."
(abnormal.)
"Stop talking." Master Merlin interrupted the quarrel between Tristan and others, "We just made a big fuss, and the noise was so loud, it's hard to believe that the Paul Mannians have noticed it. It's better to leave here quickly."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Ryder raised his hand reluctantly and used the Time and Space Ring in his hand to draw a portal large enough for one person to enter.
"I suggest you jump in and stay as far away from the ground as possible. The transmitted coordinates are not that stable, and sometimes you will plunge into the soil."
(Unstable? How can subspace be "unstable"?)
Everyone listened to Ryder's words and jumped into the portal.
Go through the door and land.
Just like usual, it landed on the original dirt ground.
"Is this subspace?" Merlin looked at everything suspiciously. Since this space was really dark, he waved his hand and released a lighting magic.
A huge ball of light floated in the sky, like a small sun, shining all over the surrounding land.
This so-called "subspace" is extremely vast, stretching as far as the eye can see, as if it is the "whole world".
"Is this really subspace?" Merlin became even more doubtful.
"God knows. I got this ring just over a month ago. I haven't fully figured out what effect this ring has."
"But I can be sure that this is definitely not a subspace. The subspace created by a ring cannot be so huge. Moreover, if this subspace is created by this ring, the ring's body cannot enter this subspace.
."
"That's enough, Master Mage." Ivan was afraid that Merlin would keep nagging him, so he quickly stopped him and said, "We are not out of danger yet. Let's talk as we walk."
(In this case, I can walk ahead and stay far away from you without having to listen to your nagging.)
"Actually," Rabbit saw everyone coming in, and closed the entrance to the space, "You are already safe, and those guys outside can't come in. This is the world created by the Lord of Time and Space, [Mirror World]."
Except that there are no living things here, nothing except [still life] will be projected into this world."
"What do you mean?" Merlin looked at the rabbit with confusion.
"Look, [the changes] have begun." Rabbit did not answer Merlin's words, but instead pointed to an open space about ten yards away in front of him.
[Transformation] began. Everything in this world began to change. A shallow pit suddenly appeared in the clearing where Ryder pointed, and scorch marks appeared out of thin air on the pit, as if it had been burned by high heat.
Merlin recognized this pit. It was the pit left when he used the fireball spell to burn the groundworms just now. The mage's memory is very powerful, and he can remember what just happened just by looking at it. The burning texture on the ground
, the traces left by the monster's struggle on the soil before death were all intact. What was missing were only the monster's body parts and blood stains.
"My God, this is a parallel world!" Merlin exclaimed, "And it's a special parallel world that can reflect the real world. What a rare phenomenon!"
"Parallel world?" Evan originally didn't want to listen to what Merlin was talking about, but this new word Merlin said aroused the half-dragon boy's curiosity.
"This universe is originally composed of countless parallel time and space. It can be said that each one is a branch of destiny."
Merlin picked up his staff and drew a line on the ground: "We fought those monsters just now and survived. That is a [possibility] and a continuation of this main line of destiny."
"But, what if we just died like this?"
The engineer drew another point on the straight line and extended another branch, making this extended line parallel to the original straight line.
"Then construct another parallel time, [a world where we no longer exist from now on]."
"Anyone could have died in the battle just now. If everyone's death was a branch of a person's destiny, there would be countless such worlds." Merlin drew more lines on the original branch points.
.
"Every choice that each of us here makes in the future will produce more branches."
Merlin continued to draw more and more branches on the lines of those branches. At this time, the picture on the ground already had hundreds of parallel lines, which looked very messy.
"Actually, there will be endless parallel worlds, right?" Ivan continued, "Is this possible? Wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
"No, definitely not." Merlin smiled and continued to play with the sketches on the ground, "Actually, although the parallel world has countless branches, most of them are insignificant.
Whether you had oatmeal or bread for breakfast this morning, will it affect your actions today?
In the battle just now, if you swung one more sword and made one less slash, would it affect the final result of [victory]?"
Merlin raised his staff and gestured on the ground, gathering together some parallel lines that should have been scattered.
"A wrong choice you make may directly lead to your destruction, but another right choice you make later may save you."
As a result, no matter which path you take on certain branches, there will always be some great will to put your destiny back on track.
This is [the driving force of the world], the reincarnation of fate that many people spend their whole lives trying to escape, but can never escape."
The ** division gathered all the parallel lines that branched out into one line again.
"This is the main axis of destiny, the direction of history. And its distant end... is [annihilation], the end of the world, a fate that no tangible thing can escape."
