Chapter 468 Reasons for Delaying Time (Two in One)

Unlock the seal to confront Dusk head on.

...This sounds like an ignorant and fearless fool, but it also sounds like Don Quixote charging against the windmill monster.

Chairman Sai Lun looked at Russell quietly, her pupils trembling slightly and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

She wanted to laugh, but she couldn't in the end.

Because she experienced another kind of pain about fate...

"In the end, what's the difference between this choice and those of you who are going to die?"

Russell looked out the window at the sun-filled world and said softly.

The young man with emerald green pupils stared at Sai Lun quietly, his calm eyes like emeralds.

Delphinium reached out and held Russell's hand, and slowly traced its index finger on Russell's palm.

"That's still different."

Sai Lun shook his head, with a look of compassion and pain unique to a sober and wise man.

"You still don't understand... because Dusk cannot be eliminated. The only things that can be eliminated are Dusk's tentacles, and its body can only be sealed or swallowed.

"Twilight is no longer an individual, but a phenomenon...a phenomenon that can travel outside the timeline.

"Did you know? The demise of every civilization in these thousands of universes comes from the direct interference of dusk. Any method of destruction cannot be unrelated to dusk.

"Either their civilization was crawled by the existing dusk, or they were simply interested and extended their tentacles to it, then their demise will strengthen this dusk; and if a certain civilization is completely different from the existing civilization, They are all different, so their method of destruction is also different - then this method of destruction will give birth to a new dusk after the collapse of civilization.

"Because dusk is beyond the timeline after its birth, their existence will in turn prove that the demise of the original civilization was indeed influenced by dusk. Because the moment they are sure of their demise, dusk from the future will push forward. The last one."

A timeline creature that transcends the grandfather paradox.

This is the so-called one-forever certificate.

All civilizations that cannot cross the timeline will not be able to escape this inevitable great destruction and ruin.

"That is to say, before the birth of 'Dream'... all civilizations would not 'think wildly'. It is precisely because the tentacles of Dream Dream have crawled over their civilization that the residents of this civilization have become selfish. It makes People can realize the difference between 'self' and 'others', which leads to the ultimate source of all negative emotions related to 'me' in the universe - arrogance, jealousy, laziness, suspicion, hatred, inferiority... He even Is the 'mother' who indirectly leads to the birth of many dusk.

"From this perspective, Huanmeng is a god. And he is a multiverse-level god, a god above gods.

"And our civilization is just a small box. Its only purpose is to seal the corpse of 'Dream'."

"Have you ever seen a dream?"

Russell asked rhetorically.

Sai Lun nodded slowly: "I have seen it. We have all seen it.

"He has no self or body, but he does have consciousness. Before his resurrection, we divided his spirit, put it into the body of a 'demon' consistent with its nature, and then sealed the demon into our own soul. This is also This is the meaning of the existence of us 'name-bearing elves'.

“Similarly, this is also the reason why the ‘Eternal Life Sect’ can obtain eternal life. Because they have devoured the flesh and blood of God.

"But even if we cut its spirit into pieces and sealed it... the sea of ​​group subconscious stained with 'divine blood' still gained self-awareness. In other words, after it was killed, its body was destroyed, and it fell asleep I don’t know how many years, and after being separated and sealed by the remaining spirit of our division...it can still unconsciously infect those who have never come into contact with it.

"Perhaps a greater civilization can completely destroy Him, but we obviously can't. Do you understand? We have already tried what you are thinking of. It is because we know it cannot work, that we chose to give up."

"——Did you kill my mother because of this despair?"

Russell suddenly asked.

Selon obviously knew what Russell was referring to: "Are you talking about Alice?

"I didn't kill her for this reason. Because I needed to kill her to have an impact on the sheath... After accepting the transformation of those crazy mages, and getting the forbidden angel halo... That man is too much now. It’s dangerous.”

The elf woman has long wavy platinum hair like a cloak and deep sculpture-like facial features. There is no shame or emotion on her face.

She was very calm and patient, as if she was explaining why this condiment was used in this dish, and said with unusual clarity: "You should also know about the 'lethal dose of love.' Minister Delphinium, you told Sal ?"

Hearing this, Delphinium suddenly tightened its hold on Russell's hand.

"If you are talking about the 'seed of thorns'..."

She was silent for a moment and said seriously and solemnly: "I have already mentioned it to Russell."

Not Sal, not Ultramarine.

But Russell.

Delphinium's title itself represents her attitude.

As she spoke, she turned back to Russell and explained softly: "It's the blue or purple thorn seed... that can absorb the love for 'others' or 'the path' and sprout and provide them with courage, perseverance and determination. That ability.”

"……I still remember."

Russell suddenly remembered. When Delphinium saw the sheath for the first time, she blurted out:

[——I could clearly feel the aura of ‘purple thorn’ from that man, which meant that he had some kind of strong love. But this kind of love does not point to a real individual or person, but to something more illusory. For example, a certain career, a certain path, a certain dream...]

At that time, Russell thought Sheath was a cold-blooded person who would give up everything for the sake of his path.

But when Russell actually came into contact with the sheath later, he found that this was not the case.

He is more like an ordinary person who does everything for "love" and exhausts his potential.

Could it be...

"Yes, I planted the thorn seeds on the sheath a long time ago."

Sai Lun crossed his fingers and placed them on his chest.

She said flatly: "That was very early, very long ago... to be precise, it was when he had just graduated and before he came into contact with Alice.

"That man has outstanding willpower and a heart that can give up everything for others. Because he has died long ago, and now he is just the remains of a reborn boy. The remains will not be afraid of dying again.

"You don't think we can really guess that he is from the Tower of Babel, do you?"

"...Was he really planted with purple thorns?"

Delphinium couldn't help but ask.

The corner of Sai Lun's mouth raised slightly: "On the contrary, I planted the blue thorn seed, and it was bound to Alice. This is also the reason why I planted a curse on Alice... It's not because Alice has anything. Exceptional talent, but because the man who loves her is too dangerous."

Delphinium opened her eyes wide: "But, I clearly see that his spirit is pure purple..."

“That’s why it’s a curse.

"I met Wendy when she was in school. I was very optimistic about him. If it weren't for his mental and will deficiencies, I would even want him to transform into an elf.

"So, after he graduated. I gave him this 'favor'.

"He is a very cowardly person, and he does not even dare to express his love. But at the same time, he is also a person who can give up everything for his own purpose... He has a powerful talent at the elf level, and an extremely strong I have low self-esteem. Such contradictions and awkwardness have attracted the attention of many of my friends.

"I gave him the blue seed of thorns. In this way, he will have the courage to do whatever it takes for love. This is also a blessing, which will allow him to gradually replenish his spirit after finding his lover. Strong to the level of a normal person. As his love becomes stronger, his willpower will also increase, and he will gradually become an 'amazing person'.

"However, as long as love for the 'path' is born in his heart...then the blue thorns will wither.

"In an instant, he will return to himself from the omnipotent brave man and return to his true self. That timid, hesitant, inferior, hesitant incompetent person...even weaker than that. Because of the Blue Thorns The enhancement will keep draining his soul as fuel. When this enhancement fades, he will become even more incompetent than before.

"——And this is the punishment for his betrayal. After all, in the beginning, it was Cunielli's credit that he would enter Alice's house and meet the person he was destined to be. Without him, Wendy would have There is no way to get to know Alice. And without me, he would never dare to confess to Alice, nor would he dare to accept Alice's confession."

Sai Lun said leisurely: "There is no need for any subjective supervision, it all depends on his own nature. If he gives up the stupid mission given to him by the Tower of Babel and elopes with Alice for love, then I will support him and help him; but If he takes advantage of Cunielli's kindness to him, and in turn uses Alice to fulfill his wishes - then he will pay the price of losing both sides. Everything depends on his own heart. It depends on him How do you understand this matter?"

She is clearly quite confident in her design layout.

"...but you still got away with it."

Russell said solemnly: "After losing the blue thorn, he gained a new power."

"Ah, yes. I heard... He accepted the mage's cruel transformation and stole very dangerous things from the church. But let me tell you, this is not that he has become strong again, but that he has become stronger again. He became even more broken. His mind became fragmented... Rather than becoming able to endure pain, it was more like seeking a quick death.

"But his talent is too strong. He walks alone on the cursed land, becoming more powerful day by day - it's really ridiculous. This power that others dream of is actually given to a person who is completely unworthy of possessing it. Controlled.”

Until, the death of the dragon.

"When he actually killed the dragon, I realized he had become too dangerous.

"So, I cursed Alice to death - just in case, I also killed all his past friends. Only his student 'Bad Day' survived. By erasing the love for others in his heart, To ensure that the blue thorn within him would completely wither and wither.

"Now, his ego has been destroyed and his soul has been broken. He can no longer 'persevere' for anything, and naturally he can no longer do great things.

"I estimate that he will die soon. Just like a wild dog that no one loves, he will die in the wilderness."

Sai Lun said with a smile and looked at Russell: "You should also understand, right? Are you satisfied that the man who abandoned you mother and son has reached this end?"

"...I just think you are disgusting."

"No way? Or do you still have feelings for him? Or is it because I did something to Alice?"

Sai Lun touched his chin, thoughtfully: "Oh, yes... I forgot, you and Alice grew up together, and you will have very strong feelings for her.

"I'm sorry. My last friend has been dead for more than a thousand years. I really have forgotten this feeling.

"I originally thought that you were going to graduate anyway. You wouldn't see Alice many times again - I killed her at this time to give you a chance to not have to go back and take care of her. Although you will In the short term, you feel the pain of the death of a loved one...but in the long term, the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain.

"When someone gets old and needs to be cared for in the hospital bed, 'love' will be greatly weakened. I let her die so quickly so that you can keep the best impression of her intact - are you angry?"

As Sai Lun was talking, he suddenly realized something.

A dim yellow flame gradually ignited under Russell's pupils, and an inexplicable pressure caused the air pressure in the room to continuously decrease.

He exhaled slowly: "I'm okay.

"...Because I finally know who my enemy is. This sense of satisfaction and goal made me energetic in an instant."

"You want to kill me?"

Sai Lun raised his eyebrows.

She hesitated for a moment and looked at Delphinium aside: "Then I have to ask... Minister Delphinium, do you have the intention to become an 'elf'?"

"what you up to?"

"If you want to kill me, then go ahead. I made a mistake in thinking, so I will give you my life."

Sai Lun smiled and said: "Or, let's make a deal. As long as you give up the stupid idea of ​​unlocking the seal, I can make Delphinium a director. How about this deal?"

At this moment, the chat history in front of Russell was beating.

That was the news from Agent Z—that is, Miriam.

She said she was ready.

So Russell took a deep breath and pressed Delphinium's palm hard.

The next moment, blue data light suddenly flowed through her pupils.

In just a moment, she hacked into the camera in the room and took over completely.

And the dim yellow flame at the bottom of Russell's pupils trembled, and the color turned to ultramarine——

The surrounding walls collapsed instantly, turning over piece by piece.

In the 10m*10m*10m dark blue cube space, only Russell and Sai Lun were left.

Russell stretched out his right hand to hold his face, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a cold smile.

"Why do you think I have to talk to you for so long?"

"You mean, you're stalling for time?"

Sai Lun was not nervous at all, but said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, just wait slowly. I told you, I can give you this life."

"Just now, I named the next Sai Lun as Delphinium. Do you really still want to... or do you still dare to kill me now?

"Or - have you gone crazy due to the pressure of destroying the world?"

"……I see."

Russell laughed heartily.

His only exposed eye was always looking at Sai Lun: "You have no idea why I can eliminate the influence of the dream. It seems that the mentor didn't say anything.

"The reason why I want to talk to you so much is not just to delay time for Agent Z to implant the virus...

"It's also to understand the secrets that only 'Salon' knows... Only in this way can you not show timidity in front of your kind."

Russell said, taking off the mask belonging to "Russell" with his right hand.

Sai Lun's eyes suddenly widened.

With a rustling accent...the gentle voice that originally belonged to "Salon" came from under the mask of "Russell".

"I'm open. Come show me more.

"Let me see what you know."

In dark blue space.

Two identical "Salons" looked at each other.

Accidentally timed out (sad)

Fortunately, I set aside a chapter to ask for leave, so I have plenty to spare!

Then the rest of the updates this month will be postponed until midnight!

Just think that I took a day off yesterday. This is the third time I have taken off this month. I am very hardworking by cat standards (holding paws)
