Chapter 130
"Ah, of course, I am the strongest swordsman."
Hugging his adopted daughter's small body, Qi Zui felt that if he put on this dress, he would be able to show 200% of his fighting power tomorrow.
…
When Shiori and Origami arrived at the agreed place, as expected, they saw Mio sitting there with her knees crossed.
"This beautiful little lady, may I have the honor of sitting next to you?"
"!?"
Mio raised her head in surprise. Two childhood playmates were already standing beside her.
She wanted to escape from here immediately, but she was held by two people.
"Long time no see, Mio-chan."
"...Well, long time no see."
Seeing that she couldn't leave, and feeling reluctant to let go of Shiori and Origami, Mio finally gave up her resistance and sat with Shiori and Origami.
The three of them started chatting for the first time in three years. Instead of talking about the immediate dangers, they chose to exchange every detail of the past three years. For a moment, time seemed to have returned to 15 years ago. At that time, the same.
Origami and Mio are Shiori's most loyal listeners, and they will listen to the interesting stories in Shiori's mind with relish every time. That time is the most precious memory for the three of them.
As he listened, a hint of bitterness appeared in the smile on Mio's face, and the change in this smile did not escape Shiori's eyes.
"What's wrong, Mio-chan?"
"I don't know what to do next?"
Mio hugged her knees again.
"I want to be with Shizhi and you all the time, but if I stay with you, Shizhi will disappear from this world, and you will have to say goodbye to your other friends. I don't want to make Shizhi sad.
But now the world is about to be destroyed, and Shiori must gain strength.
Also, I’m actually not a human being…”
"Pfft!"
"?"
Seeing Shiori and Origami who couldn't hold back their laughter, Mio looked at them strangely.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Because this topic has passed."
Following Miku's tone of complaining about the seven sins, Origami said this unexpectedly, which made Shiori laugh again, but she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and stretched out her hand, and Origami followed suit.
"Mio-chan."
Two hands were placed on Mio's hands respectively, and a warm feeling spread into Mio's heart. She looked up and saw that the smiles on Shiori and Origami's faces did not diminish at all.
"Mio-chan is Mio-chan, and I will not disappear. I make a promise to you. Please wait for us a little longer, okay? Even if we don't use the power of omniscience and omnipotence, we will create a future and return to you."
"Yes, it's a promise."
Origami stretched out her little finger first, and then pulled Shiori and Mio's little fingers over.
"From now on, the three of us will always be together."]
All the swordsmen said goodbye to all their belongings and made an agreement to move into the future.
Audiences in the good camp were all happy and moved by this. They once again discovered that swordsmen are also living people, with their own lives and things to persevere.
And such a group of people are now about to embark on the battlefield to fight for their beliefs.
Such an epic picture made many viewers feel the weight and significance of the story.
[Time flies by, and in the last darkness before dawn, Shiori and Origami wait for their companions.
Taking the flaming sword Agni and the thundering sword Huang Lei handed over by Miku, the swordsmen of the North District gathered together and headed towards the Tower of Babylon in the distance with their most trusted weapons in hand.
During the process, two swordsmen from the southern district and Yakuya, who was holding the twin swords Cuifeng and the Wuming sword Nihou, joined the team. Even Sophia, who had never participated in a battle in the past, changed into clothes that were easier for movement and brought them with her. Joined in with the Dark Sword Yue Dark.
The 10 swordsmen gathered together for the first time since the appearance of the Blade King, and their target was the Demon King waiting on the top of the tower.
The moment the sun rises, the battle to protect the world begins! 】
202: The Man in the Play (2-in-1)
[The first ray of sunlight broke through the darkness, and as the sun rose in the east, Stellius, who was sitting on the top of the tower, opened his burgundy eyes, and an astonishing deathly aura emanated from them.
After using the power of the "Book of Magic" to simulate the future for one night, Stellius was not disappointed and got a disappointing answer.
"Sure enough, that was just a small coincidence caused by a miscalculation. The ending of the story still hasn't changed in any way."
Touching the cover of "Book of Magic", a false and bright smile appeared on his expressionless face.
"Come, my hero, come and give my play a solemn and beautiful ending."
The "Book of Magic" emitted a strong light, and correspondingly, red magic circles began to appear one after another in the sky around the world. In the open space outside the Tower of Babylon, countless Megiddos were born from this red light.
They have no thought or will, and are just greeting gifts prepared by Stelius for the swordsmen.
"Yeah, yeah, this is really a warm welcome ceremony."
Standing on a hill not far away, the swordsmen looked at the endless Megiddos with somewhat troubled expressions.
"Let me use the Blade King Sword to clear the way here."
Shizhi just wanted to take out the Blade King sword, but was stopped by Sophia.
"Let Saiko and I come here, Holy Blade. You are our main force against Stellius. We will let you go to Stellius without any consumption."
"That's right, onee-sama, leave this place to me who is the best!"
…
The battle outside the tower started, and Stellius closed his eyes and felt the fluctuations of energy, revealing the expected combatants.
"Sofia's transformation into a swordsman of darkness and Mana's transformation into a swordsman of light are exactly as I expected. Ha, it's so smooth that it's annoying... Oh, are you here? "
At the moment when he was talking to himself, the surrounding scene changed drastically. At this moment, Stellius was sitting in his home a thousand years ago. In front of him were Woodman and Bee who were supposed to be dead. ster.
"Long time no see, my dear friends."
Looking at the somewhat sad and confused faces of these two people, Stellius smiled even more.
"Tell me, Stellius."
Woodman looked at Stellius seriously, showing a very sad look, while Bist continued following the former's words.
"We clearly set out to find the book of omniscience and omnipotence for the sake of people's happiness and for them to live a prosperous and happy life. Why did we all turn into monsters in the end?"
"This is a simple thing that a child can understand, my friend."
Looking at his fingers playfully, Stellius was not surprised at all by his former friend appearing in front of him again. He explained things they didn't understand to his friends as kindly as before.
"It's just because the strong desire turned into desire, and in the process of craving for power, I lost my true heart. This is a mistake that humans all make, so don't worry about it."
"What about you? Why did you become the same monster as us? Are you the same as me?"
Woodman's question made Stellius' smiling face freeze slightly for a moment, but he quickly put it back and looked at Woodman again.
"No, I'm not like you. I've never changed."
The memory flashed back, and the scene of the three original beings tearing out the pages of the book was still vivid in Stellius's mind.
"As early as 2000 years ago, even before tearing off that page, I had given up on my desires. Thousands of years have passed, and I am still the same person as before."
"So!"
Bister stood up from the table, pointed at Stellius and asked sharply.
"Why on earth are you doing these things!? Didn't you really love creation at that time..."
"Crack!"
The sound of the book closing sounded, and when I opened my eyes again, everything in the past had long since disappeared. There was only a little girl in white standing there. The white light emitting from her body showed that she was officially the culprit of the phenomenon just now.
"Should I thank you for allowing me to meet friends I should never see again, people who connect the world?"
"Why did you leave the dream on your own? They should be very important people to you, right? They are so important that I only gave you a little guidance, and your subconscious cooperated with me to complete the dream."
Mio Yan showed a puzzled look. She could feel that the two people just now and Liusu, who had not yet had time to appear in the dreamland, were the ones the other party wanted to see again. Stellius' feelings for them were just like It's all about making origami.
However, Stellius took the initiative to give up this opportunity to meet again without any hesitation.
"That's just a meaningless thing. If you want to play the emotional card to make me stop, then you'd better get out of here while I'm still in a good mood."
"Please don't destroy this world."
Mio did not leave, but instead pleaded to Stellius, but what she received in return was the latter's sneer.
"Is it really okay to deceive yourself? Although you are not the Mio I know, as someone who connects the world, you should know that your plea is meaningless."
Shaking the "Book of Magic" in his hand, Stellius stood up from his position and came to Mio's clone.
"Even if I stop now, the world will still be destroyed. This is the unchangeable result recorded in the book of omniscience and omnipotence, isn't it?"
Spreading his hands, Stellius began to speak with familiarity.
"The actions of the swordsmen are just what are prescribed in the book of omniscience and omnipotence. The swordsmen of light and darkness are blocking the Megiddo army outside; the swordsmen of wind and sound are fighting against the wise god Sparta; the swordsmen of water and earth are fighting against the wise god Hanlan. Virtue; the swordsman of smoke and time fights against the wise god Diego; the swordsman of thunder will sacrifice his life to stop the wise god Kun, and the swordsman of arson reaches me."
Mio's face turned pale every time Stellius said something.
"What is worthy of praise is that although all the swordsmen died in these battles, they really sent the hero to me, the devil, and let her have a final decisive battle with me. Ah! What a heroic epic! So beautiful! It’s so beautiful!”
Stellius covered half of his face in intoxication, as if he was really moved by the swordsmen's struggle.
"Anyone who sees their battle will feel from the bottom of their hearts that the heroes have once again created a miracle, surpassing the strongest in the past, and even the devil can't stop the heroes!"
As soon as the conversation changed, Stellius's expression turned cold and he looked at Mio, whose face turned pale.
"But people will never think that every victory they have won and every miracle they have caused are just the contents recorded in a book, the answers that can be known by moving their fingers and brains. Humans, Megiddo , Even if they are gods, they never have anything of their own. They are just machines that execute the contents of books. There is no creativity in the world."]
Not only Mio was shocked and speechless, but all the audience were shocked into silence by Stellius's violent words. They expected to see a passionate battle, and saw Stellius being triggered by the hero. The miracle of breaking the defense.
In the end, Stellius used the script to directly slap it on his face, telling the audience that he already knew all this. This is how I acted for you.
At that moment, an unimaginable coldness flowed through the audience's body, and the hero turned into a clown at the mercy of fate. The devil seemed to be a loser, but in fact he was watching the play on the stage from the perspective of the audience. Observer of people dancing.
Chaos Evil Gudazi: Everything in that world is just what is recorded in books?
White Rabbit Swiftfoot: How could this happen? Then what is the meaning of the hero’s existence left?
["How? It's time to stop deceiving yourself, you who connect the world?"
"wrong……"
"Um?"
Mio lowered her head, with a cry in her voice, but negative words still came out of her mouth.
"The ending of destruction can be changed!"
"Still insisting, I have already used my ability to confirm countless times..."
"I saw a whole new story that I had never seen before!"
"What?"
Stellius was stunned. If anyone in the world had said this, he would have ridiculed the other person for his lack of talent and knowledge, but Mio was different.
Mio is the incarnation of the fantasy world, a part of the omniscient and omnipotent book, and a person with the same perspective as the current Stellius. In this way, she tells a new story that she has never seen before.
This also means that Stellius has not seen that story either.
"When Shizhi and I met for the first time, she wrote it in front of me. It was a story that even I, who knew all the stories, didn't know. Do you know the meaning of it, Stellius? "
"No!!"
The palm containing black and red energy directly scattered Mio's clone. Stellius took a few steps back, activated his omniscient ability with a look of disbelief, and began to calculate the story Mio told.
Unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown...
Regarding the story Shiori wrote in the past that day, Stellius could only see the pages blackened by the unknown.
"No! No! No!!! That's just because Itsuka Shiori has the destiny to gain power, and her information is protected because she has the same authority as me or is above me! The ending of destruction will not change. .”]
A shocking reversal and Mio's words bring new hope to the audience. When the cage of omniscience is torn out by the unknown, the hero has another chance to escape his fate.
The originally destined battle once again became full of possibilities.
