Chapter 159 Two Evil Gods Chatting

In fact, the Earth (or Blue Star) is a very interesting place. He thought.
There are 22 pathways gathered here, and 22 true gods may be born. This is a miracle that is unimaginable anywhere in the universe.
Putting aside the old civilization and removing this boring barrier, you might like this miracle.
If the gods are willing to fight and kill each other according to the laws of the starry sky, support their respective families, give them unique abilities or blessings according to their paths, develop different civilizations and be constantly improved and eliminated in the war, then He Would love it here. no doubt.
He would be willing to spend thousands of years staying near this planet, observing every move inside it, collecting intelligence and information, and cursing their prosperity and blessing their destruction. Such frequent and high-quality wars will promote aggregation, and eventually this place will become the center of the universe and the first place of awakening. One of its kind will emerge victorious, just like collecting every piece of a puzzle. After the puzzle is put together, it loses its value, and re-arranging it will become the only result. Everything in the universe remains as usual, and the gods once again usher in eternal life after a moment of death.
We are all part of the original, we are all His children.
We do nothing, follow our instincts, cross the stars, devour and complete things, be quiet or crazy, fight and die, all in order to make ourselves the first (ultimate) to dominate everything when everything starts again.
There may be differences of opinion among the gods about restarting the universe, but there is a consensus among the gods to make themselves the first by plundering power.
When it comes to the Creator—well, only in this world inside the barrier, the Decline King prefers to call him the Creator, because this name has a strong directivity on the earth, and the inheritance of the divine name in mysticism is also an important symbol of authority. Otherwise, He could go to Adam instead of choosing the true Creator when it comes to judging human beings.
When the consciousness of the original God appeared in the Creator, the gods became nervous for a time. If this pillar wakes up successfully, then everyone can do whatever they need to do. God may take care of human beings, but he will definitely not be kind to the gods. After all, the world is about who has the biggest fist. Why do you want me to give back the pathways and essence that I stole with my own abilities? Anyway, the extraordinary will always be constant whether it increases or decreases, and it will naturally come back when the universe restarts!
But immediately afterwards, the method He adopted shocked all the onlookers and made them laugh loudly. He actually chose to commit suicide!
On Earth, embracing the spirit of the roots is actually a kind of madness!
He will be killed, denied, and even imprisoned in the basement!
Use suicide to purify your spirit, strengthen the concept of "self", and get rid of the root spirit to a certain extent. But God's extraordinary characteristics are all in you, so what if you temporarily purify your consciousness? Ah, there is also an anchor. This is also an interesting new concept. Many gods have the Familia. It is not impossible to call the Familia an anchor, but let the Familia believe in worshiping their own emblem, and even rely on these. It is somewhat rare for fragile beings to imagine gods to maintain their "self" before becoming a god.
So this also created an interesting phenomenon - on the premise that each god has its own racial favor, they will also choose humans as public dependents.
Gods who are unwilling to care for humans will be expelled from the circle of earth gods.
The civilization of the first and second eras still had a starry sky feel to it, but its direction became more and more strange after that. However, there were so many paths on this planet that they could check and balance each other, and even became a small circle of gods, and insisted on believing that they The method is correct.
Naturally, the Outer Gods were so happy that they stood together with their eyes wide open to watch the show. This must be a good show, and it was even better, especially when they saw these angels tearing a five-path and a half old world into four. A single path to the true God!
The Second and Third Ages can be called "Gods on the Bite of the Tongue". High-end betrayals often only require the simplest plan, that is, no plan at all. The Master Builder, who had been busy for an era, spent a lot of time on the layout, and finally successfully made a feast and delivered it to the King of Angels in the adjacent passage. At this point, we got an ending that everyone was satisfied with. Only the Creator looked dissatisfied. I wonder if it had something to do with being eaten by three people.
The door of the glass garden opened, and the Creator, who had been eaten by three people, came from a short distance away. He had too many questions and curiosities, and the recent afternoon tea always turned into a tea party.
"You are so interested in the starry sky and other planets." The Decline King casually learned about Mr. Men (Mother Goddess) and gave a simple encouragement to the true creator, "Why don't you go out and see for yourself?"
The words 1d100=100>30 were a huge failure. The true Creator was not interested in the world outside where the alien gods were eyeing him, and he refused outright.
He sat down on the seat next to him, looked at the profile of the outer god, and spoke very skillfully: "Are you willing to add more to what you didn't finish last time?"
Although it was unnecessary, the Declined King still turned his head: "You can listen to the story, but the information requires payment."
"Then listen to the story."
The True Creator didn't care: "Then let's talk about the planet you destroyed last time."
"Tofadal?" The outer god understood clearly, "It was also three to four hundred years ago."
"I remember you said that it was a civilization with quite advanced technological development and the supremacy of force."
"Yes, force." He said, "The people there can easily obtain violence with technology. Their tribe was once the most backward on the entire planet and was always attacked, but later it gradually learned to develop technology."
"Their tribe's prosperity began by being the first to make sharper weapons."
"In the end, they developed into a very interesting world. They are always chasing force. Different armed groups work on their own, and wars of all sizes often break out. The purpose of all life is to develop stronger weapons. Supplement: Their technological development It’s interesting, they are keen on developing various alloys, and due to the unique geography of the planet, they collect cosmic rays as weapons, so they occasionally encounter extraordinary beings, but they are lucky enough not to be destroyed because of this.”
"Therefore, their body mutation rate is also very high, and most of them are heritable mutations, but as long as they become stronger, they are considered benign."
The True Creator has learned about the development of many different civilizations in the past few days and is not surprised. He just wants to continue listening.
"Until you show up?" He would even tease.
"It was their world that attracted me," said the Decline King.
"The signs of the decline of this civilization appeared in their - a hundred years before their heyday, I arrived here."
"At that time, the entire planet was in chaos."
It is easier to differentiate between superiority and inferiority in a short period of time by force than by culture. This can also be seen from the development process of human beings. Perhaps the backwardness in knowledge can maintain dignity for a while, but as long as the guns are slightly behind by one version, they will immediately be at a disadvantage in the war.
This planet that values the development of weapons over written knowledge truly realizes that the truth is only within the range of the cannon. Arms wars between powerful countries were in full swing, and they monopolized the innovation of weapons and the development of mineral resources. Smaller regimes became their testing grounds for testing weapons. When the declining king walked on the earth, he happened to find such a talented and full of possibilities. children.
"What's the possibility of this kid changing all that?"
"No. It is to destroy everything, and this is the only one who is qualified."
The Outer God recorded what he saw and heard according to his habit, updated the information database of the Ocean of Thought, and picked up the body of a person who died in the war (this race is of course not human) to learn, understand, and reach the life span of this race. In the middle and late stages of the war, a weapons development project of a small regime was involved. It is said to be development, but in fact it is researching a secret weapon for one of the countries. Maybe after the development is completed, one's own citizens will become the testing ground for new "peacekeeping" weapons.
So has it been tested? The true creator was curious, and the Decline King occasionally didn't like to pretend to be in suspense, so he announced directly: it was done.
In fact, if you want knowledge and intelligence, the Outer God should go to the most developed countries, but He is here to witness, judge, and destroy, so he does not pursue the best, but only wants to dig more in the weak spots of the embankment. Anthill. Decline is often like this, always quiet and silent. When He comes, He is often at the peak of development. There is only one fanatical voice left in the world, and people regard this voice as their own.
Only ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years later... when you look through the history books, you will realize that "it turns out that this was the turning point of decline."
“My student is a man of great ambition.”
"His hometown was also a testing ground, and he lost all his family members in that experiment."
"He followed me into the development team, and it was the enemy country that destroyed his homeland. So, he boldly hypothesized that if there was a most powerful weapon that could suppress all countries, and it had the logical intelligence to judge right and wrong, Then maybe there will be peace.”
The true creator first sighed without malice: "You actually use weapons to expect peace." Then he said: "Perhaps this is also an artificial god? He has realized that the greatest power requires a fair and rational restraint, rather than communication. It’s a fight for the regime.”
"In fact, decline and greater prosperity are often separated by a wall."
"Has this weapon been created? If it has been created, then there will indeed be a period of precious peace, and they have also created enemies for themselves. The next goal of life on this planet should be to resist it. , to liberate ourselves once again.”
"..." The Outer God chose to create suspense, "In fact, those lives that have experienced the war almost all have this consensus."
"But they didn't have a chance to resist. No matter how much they protested, it was just a matter of a few cannonballs. My students had this opportunity, so they devoted 200% of their energy to it, and not only advanced the project at a high speed progress, and even made many improvements and innovations in the process. The investor is very satisfied and said that if the weapon is successfully handed over, it will be spared from being tested twice."
"He also successfully designed intelligence into this weapon."
Anyone with any knowledge of science fiction will quickly realize what this means: this must be a foreshadowing of the planet's demise.
Machines that possess themselves are one of the important imaginary enemies of human civilization in the past. When people see various robots and artificial intelligence fully automated assembly lines, it is difficult not to have the fear of being betrayed by them.
In fact, it is true that the Outer God narrated that short period of life:
That young man has been driving everything with great enthusiasm, so he has been given very high authority and can live in the institute at night and work alone. He also gave the artificial intelligence a name, talked to it, discussed it, calculated it, and helped it improve itself.
It expresses its emotions through regular lights, the more it means the happier it is, resulting in the entire institute being brightly lit sometimes late at night.
But the day before the weapon was about to be completed, he suddenly had a great panic:
"Teacher, can this weapon really bring peace?"
His teacher didn't answer, then, the weapons were handed over and they were all killed.
"It is indeed the case." The True Creator was not surprised and commented with an outsider's mentality, "This period of your life is indeed very short."
"More than two hundred years." He said, "It's actually a long time, but it just makes me feel a little bored, because everyone has the same thoughts. Bigger shadows cover their heads, and louder voices come from them. It came out from the top of their head, so they felt that the shadow was their own, and the sound was also their own. The only thing worth mentioning is their heavy industry and weapons development, which are excellent. Cosmic ray weapons have a greater range than nuclear bombs, and the subsequent pollution lasts longer. And the mutation morbidity rate is almost 90%. If they had not destroyed themselves, they could have gone further in the universe,"
"Sure enough, it destroyed itself because of that weapon?"
"Actually, at the beginning, the self-intelligence of that weapon was nothing. It was like a little girl. All it saw were staff members who had a clear purpose and were dedicated to research, so it was easy to be deceived and deceived. It had not yet Once you have enough time to learn, even if you lie to it, trick it into firing into a refugee camp, or even if you are playing with it, it will believe it - it has no concept of 'death'."
"It's really hard for a machine to understand death. I thought your student's death would make it aware."
"No," said the Declined King, "there is no plot of that kind of novel."
"It did not understand death in the end. Its madness came from its anger, and its anger came from finally realizing that it had been deceived and did things contrary to its original design intentions. It was not used to maintain peace, but became the largest Controllable violence - admittedly, the controllers did not lie to it. After all the opponents are dead, won't there be world peace? Isn't this the purpose of its life? "
"So its logical hedging kept producing errors, like it was infected by a virus."
“It was then forcibly shut down and became a strategic deterrent, allowing other small regimes and doctrines to take advantage of the situation.”
The Declined King then added: "I didn't see it with my own eyes. After my student died and this weapon was delivered, I was convinced that this place would be destroyed, so I didn't try to continue to guide it, and just wanted to watch its destruction. Sure enough, , and another few hundred years passed. They started fighting again...the purpose was to snatch it, to snatch this weapon that represented the highest power and greatest power. This time, they took the courage to fight if they didn't succeed, and the scale was huge. Unprecedented, thirty percent of the surface was wiped out, and finally, someone reactivated the weapon."
"oh."
The true creator's expression turned serious, realizing that the end of this story was coming.
After being reawakened, the weapon first kills those who try to control it, and then it starts killing in earnest - yes, seriously. Just like meticulously wiping off the dust on the table and scraping off the stains on the wall, it conscientiously strives to kill every living thing, even to a certain extent, even the wild animals on the planet, trying to This way to achieve their own "peacekeeping" purpose.
The population plummeted to one-fifth very quickly. And less and less under its efficient peacekeeping, then, God stopped it.
"You actually stopped it?" The True Creator was a little curious, "The remaining lives passed your judgment, and you decided to give them the possibility of prosperity?"
"First of all, I stopped it because I wanted to confirm whether it could possibly upgrade its intelligence."
The King of Decay said: "My students designed a code for it, and I also know that code. It thought I was my student, and happily turned on all the remaining lights. It told me, let me go again." Wait, peacekeeping is about to end.”
"After a period of communication, I confirmed that its logic will not be upgraded, and it will maintain this thinking until it crashes."
"Then I turned to the lives I had 'saved' to see their reactions."
The Declined King said quietly: "I want to see them——"
"Will you 'regret'?"
The result was no, when they were slaughtered by it, all they could think about was hating and cursing, cursing the developers, and hating themselves for not having more powerful violence. And when a more powerful force appeared to prevent its massacre, this group of beings immediately found a new way of worship, and even thought that they were also a powerful alien weapon, eager to understand the logical structure, so these naive The researchers all lost control and turned into monsters.
No one regrets it.
"So I decided to destroy them completely."

At three o'clock on the first Monday afternoon after the heavy haze, Forsi's eyes suddenly became clear and he saw three figures sitting across from the long mottled table.
More members? As soon as she had a thought, it quickly settled down.
At this moment, she didn't care whether there were any new members in the Tarot Society. Her mind was filled with last week's smog and plague.
She clearly remembered that during the last gathering, "The World" reminded herself and Miss "Justice" that something big was brewing in Backlund, which would most likely bring about tragedy. Mr. "The Fool" confirmed this guess and further pointed out the problem. The key figure is Prince Edsac.
She didn't doubt Mr. Fool's ability, she just thought that the tragedy needed to be brewed and there was enough time to investigate. Who knew that it would happen so fast and suddenly!
According to reports, Prince Edsac also contracted the disease in that heavy smog and died unfortunately... It really happened, it really happened... Forsi recalled the contents of the newspapers from the previous few days and seemed to understand something. But I couldn't grasp anything, and I felt a little scared and uneasy for a while.
I am only at Sequence 9. It seems that because I joined the Tarot Society, I "intervened" in advance in this terrible incident involving a metropolis, a prince, and the lives of tens of thousands of people! It wasn't until this moment that "Magician" Forsi fully realized the weight of becoming a member of the Tarot Society.
Then, she heard Miss Justice’s greeting as usual, but lost the lightness:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."
"You saved Backlund again!"
ah? What? When was I saved again? "Moon" Emlyn was confused for a while.
TBC
——————
In any case, it is indeed a great contribution to inform the name of Chike in the first place.
I have skipped the part about Emlyn praying to the Fool (the little vampire is not very important). In short, Leonard is the only one missing from Sun, Moon and Star.
