MTL - For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King (1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King)-Chapter 248 the future he chose
"Wait a minute, let me stroke it first..."
After listening to Flaro's words, William touched his forehead and said.
According to her statement, the original Ravenwood was a forest. Just like other places on the Vic continent, there are human tribes, and they have also discovered ritual magic, which can initially tame the authority of the gods for their own use. However, due to the influence of the local environment, the silhouette of the "mother" observed by local humans is the image of the dark goddess that reflects the characteristic of "returning life to the mother", so it was feared and abandoned by the locals in the depths of the forest.
Then, the ancestors of the forest elves landed in Ravenwood at a certain point of time. They brought their residual spiritual blessings and a magic system that was a dimensional blow to most humans in that era, and started the **** era of colonial rule. .
Under the pressure that the blessing of the spirit is about to dissipate, in order to find a new source of blessing and continue to maintain his long life, the ancestors of the forest elves stepped into the depths of the forest. There, they found the image of the "Mother God" who was forgotten by humans because of fear, and through ritual magic, made him appear in the mythology on Camilla's body.
In fact, this is also a transaction between the dark mother goddess and the elf colonists. The reborn "big mother" blessed the elves and transformed them into forest elves. With the help of the power of outsiders such as forest elves, the big mother has fulfilled her long-cherished wish to return all children to her mother's body.
The matter should have ended here - the ancient gods who appeared out of faith, after completing their duties, will immediately lose their value. For the "big mother", if all the humans in Ravenwood are dead, and while fulfilling her long-cherished wish to return all her children to the mother's body, she also loses all her believers. He should completely disappear from this world. That's right.
However, the forest elves did not kill the last Ravenwood people because they hoped to continue to use the power of the "big mother". They preserved those human trees forever, thus maintaining the anchor of the Big Mother's existence in this world, allowing them to continue to utilize the power of this ancient god.
At that time, the forest elves probably did not expect that this behavior was a "mischief" to satisfy the conditions for the birth of the nihilistic king of the rotten lady... Of course, William felt that there must be other external forces in this matter. , it is not low that which nihilistic king is fueling the flames. But in any case, the end result is that the rotten lady Camilla was born.
The moment when the Nether King was born again, he re-weave time across the past and the future, making him a **** who existed in the world from beginning to end. As a result, Ravenwood's timeline was broken, and a new origin was recreated... as if the game was restarted with a new origin.
Rivenwood's past has been replaced with land that has been polluted by the rotten lady since ancient times. At the time when Camilla was promoted to the king of nothingness, it should be used as the cornerstone of his moon realm and brought back to the moon realm... It should have been this way of development, but for some reason, Camilla did not choose to do so.
The origin stories of these two Ravenwoods all end at the point in time when Lady Hungry and Rot was born, ending with the complete destruction of Ravenwood—this would have no effect on the future, but Lady Hungry and Rot used her The power of , forced the continuation of both timelines.
So far, the ancestors of the forest elves are no longer the invaders who slaughtered the human aborigines, but the colonists who helped this land to disperse the undead pollution. They signed a contract with the World Tree, believed in the "Big Mother" and "Father of the Wilderness", and established the Oak Council... These things were eventually remembered by the world as the truth of history.
"In other words... until now, the whole of Ravenwood is still in a broken time? Two possibilities are developing side by side. Among the possibilities we are in at this moment, the Holy Tree Mother is a continuation of the name of the mortal era. Is the authority of Camilla; and in another possibility, the Mother of the Holy Tree is a puppet controlled by the rotten lady?"
William concluded.
But how is this possible?
If so, according to the time of the birth of the rotten lady, this time fragmentation spanned four epochs of bronze, silver, gold, and platinum, which is nearly 6,000 years. The time that has lasted for more than 5,000 years is broken, and the two timelines have existed side by side for more than 5,000 years.
Be aware that the broken time will eventually come together.
is like completing a task in the game, you can choose to sneak in to assassinate, you can choose to force the unparalleled, and you can even fool yourself with your own eloquence... The way to complete the task can be a hundred flowers, and the specific execution details can have countless differences. But no matter what, time will eventually come to the end of completing the task.
In the case of different initial conditions, after nearly 6,000 years of butterfly effect, William couldn’t imagine how Ms. Hungry and Rot would finally bring the two timelines together.
It's impossible that they were all hit by meteorites and turned into a sea of fire, right?
Probably seeing the confusion in William's eyes, Flaro explained:
"History that is too far apart will naturally be cut out, and eventually it will become an empty fantasy. But you know, the other timeline is maintained by the rotten lady. The other timeline is the same as the one we are experiencing now. , the deviation may be less than 5%. Therefore, the king of the moon can easily replace it with our current history, and it will not cause too much paradox, at most it will leave some contradictory Record."
William continued to shake his head when he heard this.
Then this makes no sense. People in this world are not NPCs who are set to behave, they all have their own will. And self-will is the ultimate mystery comparable to creation itself. Even the king of nothingness cannot control hundreds of millions of mortal life trajectories in more than 5,000 years like a puppet.
may be based on the desire of a mortal to "want to go out and see the outside world", which can completely rewrite the trend of history.
The free will of mortals that is not controlled by any gods is the weapon that can really break the chains of the gods.
After William raised this question, Flallo suddenly released his hand holding the staff and stood the Magic Mediator in place.
She gently lifted her black veil, revealing a face that was too pale for a forest elf. Losing the cover of this enchanted jewelry, the strong breath of death instantly lingered around her.
The moment she took off her veil, everyone in the room, except William and Ebony, turned their shocked eyes to her.
Such a strong aura of death... Only the highest-ranking undead creatures can emit it.
Lich... The Duke of the Sacred Tree in Jade Province is actually a lich? What kind of imperial joke is this?
William knew the identity of the other party for a long time, so there was no reaction, only curious about which show she was playing.
But Ebony on the side also didn't respond, until he noticed that the surroundings became dead silent, and then he noticed the shocked eyes of everyone, and then asked suspiciously:
"You all... what's wrong?"
Until then, Flaro did not look at William and said:
"In the timeline controlled by the rotten lady, after Camilla was promoted to the king of nothingness, under the pollution of the powerful moon realm, the entire Ravenwood has no living people. There is only a dead silence. desolation, and wandering, decaying corpses."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Ebony and continued:
"So, He manipulated countless undead, imitating the historical process of our timeline, and it has continued to this day."
Frallo's voice fell, and Ebony, whose face had become more and more ugly since the beginning, immediately said with a grim expression:
"Enough! What bizarre lies do you want to make up to cover up your crimes? Do you want to say that I am an undead?!"
Ebony trembled when he said this, not out of fear or nervousness, but simply suppressing his anger.
The phantom image of the beast spirit formed around him. It can be seen that if it is not because of the clear understanding of the strength gap between the two sides, then the listener of the Holy Tree Mother probably would have liked to rush directly to pull out the opponent's tongue rather than using language to refute.
"If there is no blood moon game, how do we choose the heir of the father of the wilderness? The Ebony tribe has always been favored by the spirit of the wilderness, and its history can be traced to the golden age. Also, if the will of the 'big mother' It has already been deactivated, how did the forest elves resist the conquest of the Riel Empire?!"
"So, don't try to use such lame lies to influence Sir William's judgment!"
Ebony said and looked at William, the expression on his face seemed to be anxious to get his confirmation.
However, as for Ebony, William said slowly:
"In my time, your forest elf ancestors used the powers of the 'Big Mother' and 'Father of the Wild' to dispel the attempt of the Hungry and Rotten Lady. After that, the two ancient gods said that they would Fall into a long slumber, and will not wake up again until the forest elves need them again."
After all, an important theme of this game is "the end of the age of the gods, the dawn of the mortal era is coming". Before the end of the game, the era was basically fixed at the moment when the belief in the ancient gods was abandoned and inactivated, the nihilistic king in the moon realm was isolated, the belief in the Holy Spirit returned to its original rationality, and the modern magic was systematized and about to be promoted on a large scale.
After expelling the "starved lady", relying on the listener's eldest mother, the last sentence left to all the forest elves was: "The time for you (mortals) has come."
But after all, more than a thousand years have passed, and with the fact that the Riel Empire has driven a wave of historical reversals, William was not too surprised that there was basically no progress in the current Ravenwood. Rather, it is this style of painting that makes it easier to compare with the Riel Empire.
is also because of this, he always felt that Flaro, who was willing to cooperate deeply with the Empire, might be a better partner. From the point of view of the system itself, the secular structure of the empire is a little bit better than the belief system of the forest elves, which blocks the possibility of civilization.
At least you don't have to continue eating corpses.
Thinking of this, William looked at Flaro and asked:
"I want to ask, after being there, did the two ancient gods, the big mother and the father of the wilderness, never wake up?"
Flaro nodded and replied:
"That's right. Not long after you disappeared, the Oak Council also hoped to wake the 'Big Mother'. To this end, they found Mr. Neh, hoping that he could make the 'Big Mother' by re-signing the original contract. The will of the returned. A lot of things happened later... In the end Mr. Neh nearly succeeded, but it was also because of that attempt that he got a glimpse into another history of the manipulation of the timeline, which interrupted the ritual. What I know now These are all known by analyzing the materials left by Mr. Neh."
"In other words, are these documents left with Neh's legacy?"
"Is such that."
Flaro's expression was calm.
"what?"
Ebony turned his head stiffly, he looked at William with a dead face, and said like a prayer:
"But... shouldn't it be you who exiled the Hungry and Rotten Lady to the Moon Realm by yourself? Didn't you reject the help of the 'Old Mother' and the 'Father of the Wild' at the end, the incarnation of the Hungry and Rotten Lady who fought alone ?"
For this question, William pondered for a moment.
The history that Ebony said is right and wrong.
There is a special mechanism combined with the plot to fight against the boss battle in which Lady Hungry and Rot is incarnated in this world. During battle, Lady Hungry will add a special status to the player that continuously deducts the maximum health and mana. If you can't kill the BOSS within a certain period of time, the blood and blue bars will be forcibly reduced to an unacceptable level soon.
The assistance of the two ancient gods, Father of the Wilderness and Mother of the Wild, is reflected in the game to help players relieve those two special states.
The normal customs clearance process requires the blessing of two ancient gods to defeat the BOSS. However, the game developers also gave players who wanted to challenge themselves the option of refusing to bless and directly killing the past.
William remembers that those who pass the test will also get an achievement called "Sweeper", which was less than 3% at that time.
And he first passed the high difficulty mode that refused to bless, and then passed the level according to the normal process - in order to obtain a better sense of substitution, he finally chose to use the normal difficulty of the archive, the continuation of the game process.
After all, sacrifice and regret are also part of the game.
But if it's true as Flaro said, then it seems to make sense...
Maybe, I chose to save the decapitation of my solo solo. That timeline that didn't exist before was taken by the rotten lady and shaped into the timeline where Ebony used to be?
Thinking of this, William shook his head and looked at Ebony.
At this moment, the other party looked at William as if he had caught some life-saving straw.
"However, you rejected the help of the eldest mother and the father of the wilderness, right? The records passed down from generation to generation by the listeners are all recorded like this..."
He desperately hoped that William could prove that what Flallo said was all nonsense.
"I did refuse their help and alone defeated the emptiness of the rotten lady..."
William said slowly.
Then he continued before the other party's expression turned to joy:
"But I also accepted their help, and together they defeated the emptiness of the rotten lady."
Looking at the ebony whose expression gradually became stiff, William said solemnly:
"And I ended up choosing this future and making it the present past."
