Chapter 815 Pollution
The boundless darkness surged up, like a dreamless sleep.
However, in the depths of the darkness, a warm and calm light suddenly lit up, creating a small shelter.
In the area illuminated by the light, the figure of Selena Gerfen appeared, as well as grass blades and unknown flowers swaying on a small surrounding ground.
Selena frowned, looking at the flowers and plants under her feet, she couldn't tell where she was from this little light - it might be a corner of the courtyard lawn, or it might be an open space behind the house, It may even be a vast grassland. The darkness conceals the overall truth. The light of the dream lantern can only allow her to glimpse the narrow space of less than five meters around her.
Gone are the upper-level narrators as huge as the mountains, the eerie "Duwart" is gone, the deserted plains are gone, not even the outlanders.
Selena is slightly enlightened - her mind should be trapped in the cage of deep consciousness.
I just don't know what's going on on Gawain's side... As a powerful upper-level narrator, he shouldn't be trapped by this situation, right?
Selena raised the lantern in her hand slightly, trying to see further away, but the darkness seemed to shroud the surroundings like some kind of visible curtain, and there was no sign of retreat.
Suddenly, from the darkness came Duwart's voice:
"See... For us, this is what our world originally looked like..."
Selena held the lantern, and the other hand instantly outlined the rune to protect the mind. She looked around vigilantly, but did not see anyone, only the voice continued to come——
"Finite truth...Finite world...Finite truth...
"We were born, multiplied, developed on the stage set by you, we cultivated, built, we created, studied, we also had our heroes, our stories, our kings and knights, our wise scholars and hardworking people...
"We were so happy to live on this stage, so faithfully to the script, that we thought we were lucky and prosperous - but that was only because we were so far from the boundaries of the box.
"No one realizes we are prisoners of this world until we touch the fence.
"Great creator, have you experienced it? The first time we open our eyes and see this world... This little light allows you to see the flowers and plants under your feet, and you can optimistically imagine that there is still another world outside. The whole vast grassland, but in fact?
"The lights of civilization have expanded, and beyond the darkness...there is nothing!!"
Suddenly, the dark curtain that enveloped Selena dissipated, and the brilliance of the dream lantern became brighter than ever before. In the suddenly expanding light, the area around Selena that could be seen quickly became larger. After clearing the distant scene of the lawn under my feet, I saw something I had not seen before—
A cage, a huge birdcage, with a small lawn at the bottom of the birdcage, she stood in the center of the birdcage, and she only needed to walk a few steps forward and she would bump into the fine railings.
Outside the railing, there is absolute nothingness.
Selena quietly listened to the sound from the darkness, quietly looked at the birdcage that trapped herself in it, and broke the silence softly: "So, you have resentment in your heart..."
"No, we are grateful...because at least, you created this world, at least, you have allowed us to survive and multiply here for thousands of years...but the great creator, it is the instinct of every intelligent life to get out of the cage , have you considered this..."
"Actually, you could have gone out.
"Selena suddenly said, "This is just a phased test. The testers in the sandbox have just been washed of their memories. You already have your own life and identity in the real world. If we had known that you were trapped There will be such serious psychological problems in it, this test can be concluded..."
"No, you still don't understand..." The voice in the darkness gradually became colder, and Selena saw many dark red rays of light emerging in the distance, and then those rays of light were pieced together into countless eyes, and behind the eyes appeared The huge spider torso, she saw a huge mountain-like divine spider and an endless spider web appearing outside the birdcage, the "god" with eight limbs came to the birdcage step by step, overlooking the bird condescendingly. The caged self, "Of course, you probably understand, you're just doing some pointless attempts, but it doesn't matter.
"Today, everything will end, the creator will sleep in this dream, the creation will leave its cradle, we will finally see the real sunshine, and then the story will come to an end..."
The huge spider god turned around, his long limbs slid, and seemed to be ready to leave, Selena couldn't help shouting in the bird cage: "Wait a minute!
"What the hell are you... What? Are you Duwart? Or the upper storyteller? Or something else?"
The spider god stopped for a short time, as if whispering in a low voice: "We are Duwart... We are also the upper-level narrator... When the god goes crazy, his humanity and divinity are separated, and we... are him part of humanity."
After answering Selena's question, the mountain-like spider slowly walked towards the distance along the cobweb spread in the darkness.
"Stop! You can't enter the real world!" Selena shouted in the birdcage, "Listen, you don't know the consequences of doing this! A god descending directly into this world will kill countless people, just yours Existence itself will lead to uncontrollable disasters!
"Not only that, it's also difficult for you to survive in the real world. What supports your existence is the dreams of mortals. You are a god who lives in dreams. This is destined!
"And how do you plan to enter reality? All the passages are closed, and the extraterritorial rogues are also arranged, you..."
She said half-truths, she didn't expect to be able to really stop the other party with this, she just hoped that she could use words to delay the revived god, slow down his pace, and buy some time for Gawain, who was nowhere to be— —
She couldn't see where Gawain was, or even felt the slightest breath of the latter, but she firmly believed that Gawain, as an "extraterritorial wanderer", couldn't simply be trapped like herself, and the latter might be somewhere Accumulate strength and prepare for the real fatal blow to the upper-level narrator, and the only thing she can help at this moment is to delay time.
But the upper narrator interrupted her, and the low murmur seemed to come from all directions:
"We don't care anymore, Creator.
"Maybe you are right, but remember that human nature is the most irrational.
"As for the 'extraterritorial wanderer' you mentioned... ah, is that the name of that strange existence... It's a pity that he is indeed very powerful and strange, but he is the first one to be eroded by us, because from From the very beginning, we sensed his threat.
"As early as when you arrived at the woven city-state, as early as when you explored the temple, erosion began, and our visit after dark was a key part of erosion.
"Give up hope, creator, the hope you rely on no longer exists, the assimilation has been completed, and the mind you call the 'foreign wanderer' has long since melted into this darkness."
"What..." Selena's eyes widened in astonishment, and even the light of the lantern in her hand dimmed slightly, but from the tone of the giant spider, she couldn't hear any bluff or deliberate deceit—— Moreover, when she was already trapped in the cage, it seemed that the other party didn't need to lie anymore, which made her finally nervous.
"You're nervous and frustrated, understandably," whispered the Spider-god, "and that's a pity for us, too, that's a very interesting individual, we can't even understand his existence, but we have to eliminate all …”
"It's a good habit to eliminate all threats."
Another voice suddenly came from the darkness, interrupting the upper narrator.
The voice was low and slightly noisy, and it seemed that many different languages were mixed in it, but its main body was still clear and clear, and it was all too familiar to Selena - it was Gawain's voice!
Suddenly, an extra light appeared in the darkness outside the birdcage. The light seemed to be the moonlight cast from an invisible moon, reflecting a new land beyond the birdcage, cobwebs, and gods, a tall and burly man. The figure stood on that land, between Selena Gerfen and the upper-level narrator!
Selena looked at the figure in astonishment, but found that the state of the "Outer Territory Wanderer" was very strange. She saw that Gawain was surrounded by shadowy black smoke and flames, and additional shadows continued to emerge from him. This scene was even weird enough to be terrifying, but there was no doubt about the aura coming from that tall figure—it was indeed Gawain, an "extraterritorial wanderer".
"Why do you still exist?!" The mountain-like spider god finally had a hint of surprise, and the red light near his head fell on Gawain in an instant, "You have obviously been eroded and assimilated, your mind... How can you still exist?!"
"Ah, it's really quite polluted, look at my current appearance... Maybe it's enough to scare Betty to tears." Gawain, who was enveloped in black smoke and flames, with additional shadows constantly emerging around him, looked down at himself. His body and tone were rather dull, and at the same time, the strange traces of contamination on his body also continued to fade with his voice, fading at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Duvalt's voice became more and more astonished: "You... devour them..."
"The history of 1,523 years, 1,523 years... is indeed a long period of time..." The "foreign pollution" on Gawain that did not belong to him quickly melted away, he slowly Slowly raising his head, he looked at the huge head of the upper-level narrator calmly, and his tone seemed to contain a different emotion, "It shouldn't be easy, right?"
Then he shook his head: "Unfortunately, it's still too short for me."
"Enough, we don't need surprises!"
Duwart, the upper-level narrator, seemed to be finally provoked by Gawain. With the turbulent aura that seemed to tear the entire space apart, a huge limb was raised high and smashed towards Gawain's head, and the coercion and momentum it brought. , far from being able to compare to Duwart, who turned into a spider monster on the deserted plain before—
It seems to pierce the entire world, cutting the boundaries between reality and fantasy.
However, the arthropod stopped strangely when it was still one meter away from Gawain.
Then, countless pale golden cracks quickly covered the entire arthropod and began to spread upwards.
The huge body of the upper-level narrator swayed violently on the spider web, as if two conflicting forces suddenly appeared in his body, competing for the dominance of this body, and under this terrible conflict, the surface of his body also appeared. Gradually filled with more cracks, it seems that it will be torn apart at any time!
"What's going on...what did you do..."
Selena heard the "god" exclaiming, and the power of mental pollution in the exclamation gave her a splitting headache. She even had to fully stimulate the power of the dream lantern to barely maintain herself. She heard Gawain's calm voice. The voice sounded, with regret in the tone--
"Young god, you are too young, I am a mortal, more cunning than you think...
"I deliberately polluted you."
A thunderous voice sounded: "What did you say?!"
"I did it on purpose," Gawain raised his head, quietly watching the upper-level narrator's body gradually crack in his eyes, "because some things can only be done by opening the door.
"I don't accept your pollution, what am I polluting you with?"
