Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty-Two, Inheritance of the Underground World (12)

——? ? ? ——

Desert Spire.

"The 'Supreme Mage' is so powerful, saving the world with just a little effort!"

After all six "sand worlds" were saved, Melina looked at Sherlock with admiration and praised.

Because he "blows away" all six grains of sand, is it the power of blowing away ashes? Is there no "example sentence" in the "common sense" she obtained out of thin air?

Forget it, he himself is not good at teaching others about literature and rhetoric. When the vice-principal asked a question in a certain literature elective course, what did "almost fell" and "almost didn't fall" mean? I "almost didn't answer."

"Not to mention whether it's great or not, based on the experience of successfully saving these six worlds, have you concluded the rules?" Sherlock waved his hand and asked Melina.

"Yeah," Melina nodded: "[If you don't break it, you won't stand it]."

"……right."

Sherlock originally planned to give it up and wait for Melina to say no or other wrong answers, and then tell her analysis of how to prevent the "destruction of the world" and the "replacement of the pillars of the world". As a result, she concluded Be better than yourself.

Obviously, since the "mirror ontology" found in the universe is a world that is "inevitable" to perish, their mirror images will also have the same final outcome. No matter how external forces try to "save" them, they will encounter huge resistance. On the contrary, if you actively try to destroy them - even on the surface, everything will go smoothly, but when the destruction is about to be completed, there will be a shocking reversal, and the "inertia of destruction" will not be able to stop it in time even if it is habitually prevented.

Since the "mirror body" is not blocked by "destructive inertia", she might be able to save the world more easily than Melina?

"As you said, 'Nothing can be destroyed without establishing'," Sherlock continued: "You need to let other races try to replace their 'pillar' status, or pose a threat of extinction to themselves through 'harm' from other worlds, but But at the last moment, he stopped or reversed to achieve the purpose of 'rescue'. The key to the whole process was not to show that his 'destructive' actions were actually to save them. "

"Yeah." Melina nodded.

"So..." Sherlock paused and looked at the boundless desert outside the tower: "How many worlds are there in total? How many can you 'save' at the same time?"

This is why he asked Melina to "classify" the sand grains. As long as a certain type of sand has a way to save it, it can be extended to all worlds with similar properties to it, and they can be obtained at the same time using roughly the same means. save.

"There are 2,147,483,641 grains of sand in the desert," Melina replied: "The most I can 'look back' at the same time is 65,530 Five worlds.”

"..."

Although this desert is boundless, it seems to be much smaller than it looks. If Melina can save a batch of worlds every second, it will only take more than ten hours to clear this desert.

It doesn't sound like a big problem.

And how did the "mirror body" save the world on such a large scale?

————

Zizzi... whir...

Outside the "windows" of the tower, there are blurry images that are constantly switching at an extremely high speed. If you try to distinguish them carefully, you will soon become dizzy.

The sounds from those worlds that should have been heard unexpectedly turned into some kind of indistinguishable subtle noise.

"Well..." Sherlock looked down at the "Time Stone" that was constantly spinning and shooting out strands of green light like lightning. Then he looked up at Melina: "Are you... okay?"

"Very good." Melina replied: "It's not difficult." "Occasionally there are failures." "Just try again and try another method." "This is all thanks to your help, 'Supreme Mage'. "

"No, I mean... forget it." Sherlock hesitated, and finally ended with a sigh.

In front of him, Melina sat on the edge of the collapse, shaking her calves and looking left and right. As she moved, the phantoms one second, two seconds, three seconds or even more earlier were repeating her behavior, and finally "stopped" "Bundle" back to her true body.

In other places in the tower, such as window sills, doorways, walls, and even behind her, there are several shapes similar to hers, and Melina is also flickering in and out with layers of afterimages behind her.

And Sherlock's question just now was answered by each of these Melinas. They, no, each one of them seemed unable to see the other Melinas, and there was no "pick-up" when putting together a complete sentence. It really sounds like the same person is speaking, but the speaker has changed positions several times without any intermittence within the span of a sentence.

Great, "they" and "us" are a perfect match... isn't that weird!

When she first participated in the "Triwizard Tournament" and "Undersea Treasure Hunt" projects, the vice-principal made it clear that in order to prevent the contestants from suddenly maturing, some means would be used to make the contestants' experience on the "Ocean Planet" similar to the same one. It was as blurry as a dream.

But even so, Sherlock still feels that his mental age has improved a lot compared to other classmates - maybe it's because he has six personalities, right?

And now, Melina is "saving" 60,000 worlds at the same time with the help of the "Time Stone" sponsored by Sherlock - every second. It's okay that there is only an abnormality in appearance at this time, but if she saves all the sand... After entering the world, it would be a bit troublesome to directly change the mind and personality into "Black Lantern Clea". No, even becoming "Melina the Witch" would be a loss-making business.

He also wanted to explore the world outside with her after the sand disappeared. He was quite curious about the initial appearance of the "junction".

Huhuhu——

At this moment, the "wind sound" outside the tower suddenly became fierce, and the countless worlds that were originally difficult to distinguish began to assimilate - not the content, but the volume. They began to shrink invariably and turned into a "planet model." .

Has it been more than ten hours?

Sherlock subconsciously looked at Melina and found that the individuals with illusions were connecting to each other, integrating very smoothly into a complete set of action trajectories:

Melina jumped off the platform, walked around the tower, touched the walls, leaned on the window to look outside, gestured at the doorless doorframe, then walked around to the other end of the bed and sat down. Turning to look at Sherlock, he tilted his head slightly.

Whirring whirring--

Countless worlds that had been successfully saved soared into the sky, and the desert that originally completely blocked the outside world disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Sherlock's vision was blocked by the wall before he could clearly see the outside scenery.

……wall.

He withdrew his gaze for a moment, and then noticed that as the desert and the afterimage of Melina disappeared, the originally empty tower had also been renovated as if going back in time, with a medieval European style, mainly blue and pink. Colorful ceilings, walls, windows, and doors appeared one after another, and together with the soft roof, they formed a bedroom that was not warm but quite luxurious. In the corner of the bedroom, there was a large easel with a blank canvas hanging on it.

"Well……"

It was fine before when the whole world was deserted and there was only a lonely desert spire, but now looking at the interior decoration of this tower and little Melina's clothes, Sherlock had an inexplicable illusion that he had accidentally broken into some princess's boudoir.

"Come, let me take you to see this world, 'Supreme Mage'." Melina jumped off the soft platform and ran towards the gorgeous door that just appeared.

Sherlock shrugged and followed her outside.

But speaking of it...

Where is the "mirror"?
