One step back to the far tomb portal square.
The master of ceremony, Val Shilen, who was guarding the portal, immediately rushed to greet him: "Master, is everything going well?"
"It went very well." As soon as the Lord Lord spoke, an annihilation storm suddenly erupted from the fixed portal behind him that had not yet closed.
"Master, be careful." The master of ritual, Val Shiren, was about to open the shield when the housekeeper activated the magic ring. The interlocking magic loops sheltered everyone almost instantly.
The frightened Ebony Dancer Geraze and Misty Mourning Baracht had obvious fear in their voices: "The Sandstorm of Time."
The lord's true sight flashed out and peered into the huge stone portal that surrounded the square, and time sandstorms were erupting almost at the same time.
Moreover, the "psychic memory" captured by the Lord with the Eye of True Seeing clearly shows that the "Time Sandstorm" ejected from the fixed portal in Annihilation Square and the "Annihilation Storm" ejected from the Throat of Time on the Roaring Peak ”, the situation of the two is almost exactly the same.
However, the Lord is convinced that both the "Time Sandstorm" and the "Annihilation Storm" should originally come from the same event - Dragon Break. So why is there a significant difference in "psychic memory"?
In other words, what is the difference between the living Nirn and the distant tomb of annihilation?
Obviously, Nirn in this world is a dream superimposed on reality, while Tomb of Annihilation is outside of time and space (in this world).
This is perhaps the biggest difference behind "Time Sandstorm" and "Annihilation Storm".
"Dream + Reality = Real World. What will happen if the dream fades?" The Lord looked thoughtfully at the rampage of the "Time Sandstorm" across the exposed magic ring.
"Is the 'dream fading' mentioned by the host similar to the previous one where Mrs. Wonderful turned the guests in the House of Fantasy into 'fading ones' and revealed the bones of the distant tomb?" The housekeeper thought of a possibility: "Dream + Reality =The present world. So the dream fades away, leaving only reality=the present world?”
"Ah..." The Lord suddenly understood: "That's it. "The dream faded, leaving only reality." "
According to the Lord's previous statement, the "Annihilation Storm" is the time redundancy caused by the dream of the Godhead caused by Dragon Break that has not yet subsided. The only uncertainty is that the irregular outbreaks from the Threshold Bridge (Time Wound) on the Roaring Peak are due to the lord's repeated abuse of "Crimson Dragon Break" to create the "law of inverse causality" that is changing this week's current situation. The main plot line without a main line is twisted into a "Mobius one-sided cycle".
Therefore, the "cause" and "effect" that are drifting apart will never intersect and will always be full of uncertainty.
Essentially, it is because Wu Chen abused his high-dimensional abilities again and again, causing "plot line distortion" and irreversible plot collapse.
Or, in addition to the lord, someone else is releasing Long Po, and the "law of reverse causality" creates new time redundancy.
Or, it could be the result of the superposition of all "Dragon Breakers", including the lord, working together on the Dream of the Godhead.
To put it simply, these three possible initiators are all "dragon break makers".
This means that the plot world of "The Elder Scrolls" does not have a main plot that is most likely not controlled and controlled by the lord alone. unless……
"Oh my God..." Witnessing this magical spectacle in which the "Time Sandstorm" was easily blocked outside the self-consistent dimension by the expanded magic ring, the shock of Ritual Master Val Shilen was obvious. You must know that the strengthened annihilation storm and weakened ash wind overflowing from the Eye of Annihilation in the Roaring Peak can demonize living species.
In fact, this "deterioration of existence" is actually a "distortion of rules." Because in essence, this is the time redundancy produced by the dream of the Godhead that has not yet faded. It's like a broken "nightmare".
Because, dream + reality = reality.
In the realm of annihilation located outside time and space, the impact of time sandstorms is more intuitive. Just like a real sandstorm will blow travelers away. The time sandstorm will blow the people and things existing at the "now" time node into the "time turbulence". It may be a past, or it may be a future. Even part is in the past and part is in the future.
And all the "Doors of Annihilation" scattered at the crossroads of the planes will deteriorate into "Time Wounds" in the time sandstorm. Within the scar is the terrifying turbulence of time.
Only when the sandstorm of time stops, the wounds of time will gradually "heal". Only then did the Gate of Annihilation resume its function, becoming the "liminal bridge" connecting the various planes of Mendas.
In other words, the "wound of time" and the "bridge of liminality" are also two sides of the same coin, half good and half bad.
For ordinary people, it is a matter of controllability.
Especially when a group of people bear the ring of magic and return to the House of Fantasy unharmed in the sandstorm of time. When the sandstorm subsided, Mrs. Wonderful Thoughts, who opened the Dwemer safety door, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the Lord and his party intact.
"Just like the dragon as a fragment of time can resist the invasion of the annihilation storm. The reason why the distant tomb can remain intact in the time sandstorm is probably because it has 'time inertia' itself." The Lord smiled.
"You have seen it, my dearest guest. The huge remains of the sedan bearer are protecting our city." Mrs. Wonderful Fantasy refused to let go of her true identity.
"Is this really true?" The lord looked around: "Why is it that the outside of the city has not been affected?"
"That's because all the portals are in the city." Mrs. Wonderful Thoughts smiled and winked: "The center of the time sandstorm is always in the city."
"Okay, madam." The Lord did not force himself. Anyway, one day the truth will come to light. May as well wait and see.
"Master, do you want to see the huge skeleton of the sedan bearer?" the housekeeper suggested in a timely manner.
"Okay." Now that we are here, there is no harm in going to see the legendary sedan bearer in person.
The huge skeleton is an eye-catching landmark. Like a tall tower, it protects the residents of the city.
Four huge and broken skeletons sheltered the distant tomb from four directions. The burial place of the bearer of the sedan chair is a forbidden area of life. It's a barren desert with almost no grass growing.
"Is it also an earth bone?" Looking up at the huge skeleton, the housekeeper asked softly.
"No." The Lord's Eye of True Seeing did not activate the former psychic memory. Obviously, these sedan bearers have no direct connection with the Inofi bones. Therefore, the bearer of the sedan chair cannot be Idra’s body. Moreover, due to the assimilation of the annihilation power and the erosion of the time sandstorm, the already broken spiritual circuit became even more fragmented. But don't forget that the Lord's "brain power" has been significantly enhanced with the continuous recovery of the small universe. He has begun to piece together and reorganize the psychic circuit of the sedan holder in his mind.
Soon, he had a basic judgment based on the spiritual circuit: "I think the person holding the sedan chair is probably the legendary Leaper Demo. 'Leap' can also be translated as 'shuttle' in space magic." "
"By the way, it is said that the original Merunes Dagon was a friendly low-level demon, known as the Leap Demon King." The housekeeper also thought about it: "So, carrying the 'celestial sedan' in Menda The purpose of the constant shuttle bearer is actually to avoid the fate of being swallowed by Alduin. It is precisely because the bearer can jump and shuttle between different planes that Alduin can only do it at the end of swallowing the entire world. , to find the four jumpers and their 'Jumper Demon King'."
"This explanation is very reasonable." As usual, the Lord did not refute.
"So, Mrs. Wonderful is really the mother of Melunes Dagon?" Then the housekeeper followed up and said the conclusion that was easy to draw.
"Maybe." The lord smiled and said: "Or maybe, Melunes Dagon is still the same 'him'." The lord thought more.
"So! Meired-Nanda crossed the rainbow road, from one end to the other, stretching the dragon at one end, and compressing him at the other end!" The housekeeper suddenly realized, and hurriedly lowered her voice: "Master, Mei Red-Nanda compresses 'he', shouldn't he be Alduin the World Eater? Just like the 'Circle of Ouroboros' you said. A 'Self-devourer' biting his own tail .”
"Remember the "Love Triangle of Creation"?" The Lord gave a further answer: "Perhaps, between the World Eater Alduin and the Time Dragon God Akatosh, there is also a Leap Demon King. This The leaper demon king who can travel between different planes is like the 'woodpecker' that opens the Mundus plane, or the navigator who leads Alduin to devour everything. Essentially, this is two sides of the same coin as all living things."
