Su Mingan looked at the deserted platform around him.
At this moment, he seemed to be able to see the blood-colored magma-like land in the night copy.
No matter the way forward or the way back, there is no way to go. Even if he guessed all this in advance, he could not break it.
He approached Su Lin.
His figure was close to the faint white mist around Su Lin.
"Do you wish to be liberated? Immortal god of Praia."
Su Mingan asked.
"It can't be described as 'relief'. I stay here voluntarily." Su Lin said calmly: "I changed everything that the residents were suffering from, and I gave them direction... I can see that you are extremely sad in your heart. Agree with me. If it were you, in the situation sixty years ago, you would definitely make the same decision as me."
Su Mingan smiled like a stick reader.
Su Lin: "You have lost the Bright Knight and Siren King who can suppress me. This is your mistake."
Su Ming'an chopped down the soldiers charging towards him with one sword.
"No," he said, "This is the inevitable result."
He has seen it, the so-called 'Mobius strip'.
The night copy of "The Demon King and the Brave" is not just a "witness" to him, but represents an inevitable cause and effect.
Like the hand of God, it naturally drives everything to happen.
Without the night session of the Demon King Hero, he would not understand how to use Su Lin's ability, and he would not use "confusion" to join the battle between the two clans. With the participation of other players, the battle situation between the two sides would be instantly unbalanced, and the Demon King's City would not be able to operate. fail.
If he does not use "Confusion", he will not further master the barrier control skills, the outer barrier will break prematurely, and Praia will be destroyed by the storm.
It was precisely because he strengthened the barrier that the Demon King's Castle was able to continue to operate. He also obtained information about the "despicable people in heaven" and learned the importance of the principle of reciprocity.
And because he knew the importance of the principle of reciprocity, he could use this to deduce the situation between the two clans, and then deduce the princess's conspiracy.
——He will inevitably choose to betray the gods in order to survive before Princess Tulip takes action.
So, the day before he decided to betray, "the despicable ones in heaven" simultaneously betrayed him.
It anticipated his actions with unparalleled accuracy.
Although I persuaded the despicable person to stay one more day, the despicable person inevitably betrayed him the next day.
And once he chooses to betray in order to survive, everything that follows will fall into place.
The Kraken siege will inevitably be launched and cannot be avoided.
The Bright Knight and Siren King he relied on would inevitably disappear in this disaster, and it was inevitable.
He personally launched the siege, and then watched with his own eyes the people he relied on died because of his actions.
——The night copy seems to be just a "witness", but in fact, it is also the result of his own actions.
——He seems to be guided by the night copy, but in fact, everything he does is guiding the progress of the night copy.
There are thousands of disaster outcomes for Playa. It may be destroyed due to the rupture of the barrier, destruction due to the imbalance of the war situation, or destruction due to the darkening of the princess...
And what Su Mingan witnessed was the only ending where everyone was happy and most people were alive.
Because only this "happy" ending is in line with the management line of Demon King City.
It is difficult to judge whether his management in Demon King City led to the betrayal of the despicable people in the plot, or whether the information revealed due to the betrayal of the despicable people in Demon King City guided his simultaneous betrayal in reality.
It's hard to say whether it was his decision that controlled the despicable person's betrayal, or whether the despicable person's behavior awakened him, influenced his behavior, and made him betray.
Like a Möbius strip.
After twisting a piece of paper 180 degrees and pasting the two ends together, the paper loop made is a Möbius strip. It is a one-sided, non-orientable surface. Such paper rings have only one side.
If people walk on the Möbius Ring road, they will never reach the end, because they can't tell where the starting point is and where the ending point is. It's like being in an endless loop, like reciting a chapter. Literary poetry.
It connects end to end,
Answer each other's riddles.
It guides itself along a straight route, which seems to be extending in all directions, but is actually the only one.
"So, what are you going to do?" Su Lin said.
"Su Ming'an! You have the heart of a god. He can't hurt you. The team won't be able to hold on any longer. Kill him quickly!" Noel's voice came from behind.
"..." Su Ming'an knew this would never work.
If Su Lin is killed here.
In addition to the possible time cause and effect, Su Ming'an, as the former "Devil King", will be instantly wiped out here, there is also a possible ending.
...He might become the next god.
There have always been two ways to cultivate a 'Pri dish', one is to take another person's body, and the other is to hand over one's own life.
When the god Su Lin cultivated his successor, he used the first method.
The second method is used for intergenerational transmission of inheritance.
Su Mingan was not sure whether the second method would be triggered directly once he killed Su Lin in front of him.
[Su Mingan replaced the god Su Lin and became the observer of Praia. 】
——This is an ending he absolutely cannot accept.
Even if there is a death retreat, he can try, but it is still a dead end.
He couldn't kill Su Lin in front of him.
The world had connected a piece of paper end to end to form a ring, enclosing him in the middle.
"A traveler from another world." Su Lin's eyes seemed to see through everything: "Actually, you agree with me in your heart."
Su Mingan couldn't deny it.
Su Lin used human power to rival the gods and successfully protected his home and land before the disaster. This was something he could not do.
But he thought so in his heart, but he would not admit it with his mouth. Instead, he laughed twice more.
"Haha." He laughed.
Looking at his fake smile, Su Lin's eyes were very open-minded.
He didn't seem to be angry at Su Mingan's "rebellion", as if he had expected everything.
"Traveler from another world - the murderous intention you are exposing towards me now - is not the product of your own will and thinking, but the result of your successful 'copy'." Su Lin said softly: "Isn't it?"
"A very novel statement." Su Mingan took another step forward.
The distance between him and Su Lin is getting closer and closer.
He had almost resisted the attacks of the waves of soldiers with an attitude of not fearing injury, and tried his best to get close to Su Lin.
As long as it doesn't hit his vitals, he will ignore it. His swordsmanship has turned to the most basic defense, and all attacks are just to take a few more steps.
He was exchanging the injuries and blood on his body for the distance.
Behind him, Noel's thread was getting further and further away from him. Only Lin Yin's healing light shone on him from time to time, but that light was getting weaker and weaker.
On the left side of his field of vision, the health and blue bars of the entire team were declining at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He took out the Johnson & Johnson drug with his free left hand, and quickly injected another injection into his neck, feeling a sharp pain that shook his whole body.
But it was obvious that his health, which had almost reached the bottom line, was also constantly increasing, and his face, which had lost too much blood, was gradually turning rosy.
Su Ming'an knew very well that the reason why God Su Lin wanted to kill him was because he answered "There is no way to repair the barrier." God Su Lin had to temporarily sacrifice him in exchange for the ability to maintain the barrier. energy.
Enchantment is the absolute first priority, it is the guarantee for the survival of the residents of Playa.
Later, the reason why the god Su Lin wanted to kill him was because Su Ming'an maintained the balance of the battle and stopped the struggle between the two clans.
The reason why the god Su Lin killed him had nothing to do with selfish desires.
He did not care that he might rob Him of His authority, nor that He might attack the city. He even hoped that he could kill him in order to inherit his position.
The souls of gods will also decay, although the rate of decay will be much slower.
If a new god Su Lin were replaced, it would be even better for him.
Su Ming'an suddenly raised his head: "Do you want me to kill you? Su Lin."
Su Lin opened her arms directly: "Of course, in fact, I also think - I need an 'update'."
Su Mingan felt the terror of Su Lin in front of him.
This guy...he is no longer a pure person.
He could actually say the words "replacement".
Simply... he has turned himself into a machine-like existence, a lifeless substance like the seed of the race's continuation.
"Kill me." Su Lin said in a serious tone, "You will become me, the next god."
…
[...Then kill me, I will give this right to you, if you can. 】
…
These were the last words spoken by the Demon King in the copy last night.
After the Demon King said these words, the brave man was quickly hacked to death by the soldiers and turned into a puddle of black corpses.
This was Su Lin's last invitation to him.
...an invitation from the observer.
"Ding dong!"
[Do you choose to kill Su Lin? 】
[If killed, you will become the next generation of gods (i.e. observers) and break away from the player identity. 】
…
The system did not tell him what would happen if he chose not to kill Su Lin.
Because the outcome of not killing the Demon King was clearly displayed before Su Mingan's eyes last night.
...The brave man shattered into pieces of black coal-like corpses.
Obviously, if Su Ming'an did not choose to kill Su Lin at this time, what was waiting for him would be to die of exhaustion and death among the soldiers' knives.
Su Mingan wiped away the blood that almost blinded his eyes.
The blood bottle's hematopoietic ability was extremely strong, and his body was almost covered with his own blood.
In the live broadcast room, the barrage has become noisy:
[Then just take advantage of the situation and become an observer, what does it matter! There is no other way to break the situation! 】
[Either become an observer or die, this copy is too shameless, why is it like this...]
[Old Tie, someone has already checked, and no one except Su Ming'an has obtained Su Lin's identity. 】
【ah? Why, this is the first time I’ve seen a role played by only one person. 】
[Why don't you give up this perfect clearance to Noel, and the team will run away after passing the level. This mission is so difficult anyway, so it doesn't matter if you fail once. 】
[It’s okay to give it to Lu Shu, they should be just a little bit close. 】
[It’s not a matter of giving or not... This is a dead end, don’t you understand...]
[Player No. 1, don’t become an observer! I still want to stay in your live broadcast room and chat. 】
[Why don't you try jumping from the sky? I remember there is a crow in Noel. It's still too late to run away now...]
【……】
The barrage kept coming up with suggestions, and most people were trying to persuade him to give up. After all, the green hills are still there, so there is no need to worry about running out of firewood.
But Su Mingan just kept getting closer to Su Lin, cutting away the soldiers who hindered his progress.
In front of him, a white light representing faith rose from the ground.
They slowly gather in the glorious church, like a bright star river.
For more than sixty years ago, Su Lin was alone in this lonely place, constantly arranging the war situation, creating struggles, personally leading one side to kill people on the other side, and watching the people he loved die under his coordination.
The once high-spirited young captain has changed a lot now. He doesn't even take his own life seriously and actively proposes "renewal".
Looking at Su Lin with open arms, waiting for Su Ming'an to kill him, Su Ming'an asked:
"...Have you never considered living for yourself?"
Su Lin looked at him with very calm eyes.
"I am already living for 'myself'." Su Lin said: "Living for this land is my 'own' will."
"Really?" Su Mingan said, "But in these years, your relatives died in the struggle between the two clans."
"...Yeah." Su Lin said calmly, "I know."
"Your disciple Kalocha died during the Kraken's siege a few days ago." Su Mingan said.
"I saw it."
"The young Princess Tulip whom I bid farewell to you died at the hands of the heir you created." Su Mingan said.
"……Um."
"East District, that barbecue restaurant you used to go to, the Knight of Light who liked to frequent there the most died as a sacrifice to drive away the sea monster." Su Ming'an said.
"..."
"Deceived by non-existent legends, a girl from other countries died of old age due to soul experiments. She wanted to go home before she died."
"..."
"The girl by the stream, Garder has grown gray-haired. Your heir, Kaia, took away her happiness with his own hands and made her wait for her whole life."
"..."
"Her son died because of the struggle, her daughter was terminally ill, and even her granddaughter almost died in the flames of the sea feast."
"..."
"Su Lin." Su Ming'an said, "I admit the correctness of your actions, but the struggle does not need to continue endlessly."
"..."
"Now, the Kraken King has completely disappeared. The threat of the Kraken is no longer there, and the barrier has been completely established. You... don't need to stay here anymore." Su Mingan said: "As for the two clans that are fighting - the Soul Clan and the Human affairs can be left to their own judgment. Survival, destruction, or survival are all the results of their own struggle. They do not need a hand to maintain the war situation, to tease them of their heroic struggle and sacrifice. The will and soul..."
He had already walked up to Su Lin.
But at this moment, Su Lin, who had dull eyes, suddenly said:
"You are really a despicable... traveler from another world."
Hearing this, Su Mingan made a move.
"Don't worry, I'm complimenting you." Su Lin said.
"Despicable is not a compliment here," Su Mingan said.
"I'm just purely curious... What prompted you to say these words? What do you think of me?" Su Lin said: "Sevia, Saya, Sherud, Naraku... or the others you captured NPC? As long as they are useful to you, can you tell any lies casually and pretend to believe in them?"
Su Mingan: "..."
"You clearly don't think so in your heart, right, Su Ming'an?" Su Lin said: "You said these words... you should be trying to achieve a certain 'purpose'? So, you can even deceive your own true will and beliefs... ...It's so dangerous, you are even crazier than me, I just deceived everyone except me, but your 'deception' has already included yourself."
Su Mingan: "Over-interpretation."
Su Lin was noncommittal.
"...But if this is the case, then you are much more terrifying than those fanatic believers who set themselves on fire, or even me as a villain..." Su Lin said: "Your speech on that city wall, I see that the emotion in your speech is not just driven by pure rationality, but it should also have elements close to self-hypnosis, right?
If fanatics fight for their unchanging single belief, but you... are a guy who can switch beliefs at any time for different goals and become different fanatics... What's even more frightening is that you Emotions can easily infect other people. No matter what kind of thoughts you hold and what kind of philosophy you advocate at that time. If I can create a single 'Yunshangcheng God', you seem to be... able to create many different gods...
I think after reading it over the past few days, my interpretation up to this point should not be wrong... You are truly the most terrifying person I have ever seen. "
