Chapter 240 Host, Please Don’t Die!
Ximu looked at the world that was burned to ashes, with only scattered sparks reflected in his eyes. If there is no way to log out of the game, there is either a problem with the game device, or it is because you have traveled to the game world.
In order to verify this conjecture, Ximu's ruby-like pupils were slightly bright, and he looked towards the past. Everything that happened in the past was taken into account, and then he focused his sight on Aslaqi's bathroom in the Sky City.
If this world were not a game, then he would be able to see things he shouldn't see. Then, he saw something he shouldn't have seen - the girl's charming body in the misty bathroom.
There is no doubt that he has traveled through time. And burn this world to ashes. Even if he wanted to restore everything now, he couldn't do it. As the Lord of Ashes, he couldn't interfere with the past time and could only burn everything along with the time. The further we move toward the past, the more traces of the past will be burned away until all time in the past is burned away. Recreating the world from the starting point of nothing is a record clearly written in the official setting of the game.
Of course, he can also choose to create the world now, but this will lead to the ending of igniting the world to be locked. No matter how hard people struggled in the past, it was impossible to save the world. Directly using the life catalog to create a new world can only be said to be the worst option, unless he really can't think of any way to save everything.
Ximu walks in the world of ashes, trying to find traces of the past while thinking about how to save everything. He has the authority of the player and will not be affected by the underlying impulses of the Lord of Ashes. He has plenty of time to think about how to solve the problem.
"Don't create the world?" A doubtful voice suddenly came, and Ximu's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he suddenly locked his eyes on the demon outside the world.
"I think you need this, right?" The outsider demon remained as calm as possible and handed out the Great Sword of Death that he had secretly saved.
Ximu took the great sword of death that was handed to him and stroked the blade with his fingers. The familiar touch was fed back to his mind from his fingertips. He is most familiar with the Great Sword of Death. I have used the Great Sword of Death to fight in many games in the past, and I also like the Death Witch quite a lot.
Now that he has actually traveled to the Mysterious Gate and can have close contact with the Death Witch, it is a joy for any Mysterious Gate player. But now that he had burned everything with his own hands, he naturally felt very uncomfortable.
The Outsider Demon carefully observed the Lord of Ashes' expression and noticed the obvious sadness, confirming that Akhtar still retained his humanity. According to the Witch of Time's speculation about the Lord of Ashes, after the world burns to ashes, the underlying impulse about the burning world will fade away, and the original personality will briefly emerge, which is the personality of the hero Akhtar.
"Akhtar, can I call you this?" The outsider demon asked tentatively, his body remaining almost transparent. This was to prevent Akhtar from suddenly killing him. After all, he just wanted to negotiate with Akhtar, not to die.
Everything about the Lord of Ashes is speculation right now. If his original personality had not emerged, then his appearance in front of Akhtar would have been suicide. But now it seems Akhtar’s personality should have emerged.
"..." Ximu looked at the vigilant expression of the demon outside the world, and then showed a familiar smile: "Of course."
If he remembered correctly, the demon outside was related to the DLC, which might allow him to find a chance to save everything. Then it's worth letting the demons outside think he's still Akhtar.
"The plan seems to be correct." The outsider demon breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately he noticed Akhtar's lips moving a few times. He immediately had a bad premonition in his heart and subconsciously wanted to use his outsider power to escape from the current world. But the invincible outside power suddenly failed at this moment. What means did the Lord of Ashes use to isolate him from escaping?
"Tell me about your so-called plan in detail." Ximu pressed the outsider demon's shoulder forcefully, his red jade pupils seemed to be burning with flames, "I have plenty of time to listen to your so-called plan."
The outside demon twitched the corner of his mouth, and he could feel the urgency and expectation in Akhtar's tone. If you can't tell me any useful information, you have to experience the power of the Lord of Ashes.
But now that the matter was over, he could only continue talking.
"Akhtar, do you want to save Hecate, the witch of fate?" He asked Akhtar, "We have a way to help you save everything."
"Keep talking." Ximu nodded slightly. If nothing unexpected happened, the solution the devil from outside the world wanted to talk about was related to DLC.
"Any disturbance to time will speed up the arrival of Ragnarok. You must be very aware of this." The demon outside the world asked.
Ximu nodded calmly. In the past, this setting only came from the game. Now, as the Lord of Ashes, he also looks to the past history, so he can deeply understand why Ragnarok is approaching due to time disturbance. If history suddenly changes now, he will also be attracted by the changes in the past. After all, he is at the end of time. Unless he is willing to directly create the world and turn his attention to the future, he can only turn his attention to the past.
"Now you have the ability to decide whether Ragnarok will come." The demon outside the world said, "Any change in the time level in the past can cause destiny to deviate, which may create a future without Ragnarok."
He shook his head again.
"And because time disturbance may create a future without Ragnarok, any interference in the past will attract the attention of Ragnarok, thus hastening the arrival of Ragnarok."
Ximu nodded and said, "Do you want me to give up interfering in the past?"
If he purely stands on the standpoint of Ragnarok, then any disturbances in the past will be smoothed out by him, ensuring that Ragnarok will definitely come. But his current position is not on Ragnarok. If possible, he wanted to undo everything he had caused.
"That's right." The outsider demon said, "Before you lose your Akhtar personality, I hope you will not interfere in any way in the past."
Without Akhtar's personality, the more time is disturbed, the faster Ragnarok will come.
Ximu said: "You shouldn't just plan to hide in the past, right?"
"There is no difference between hiding in the past and slow death." The demon outside the world raised a finger and said seriously: "As long as you do not interfere in the past, we will try to cross the twilight of the gods so that everyone can move towards the future. ”
"That's not an easy thing." Ximu shook his head and asked the demon outside the world: "Why do you think you can cross me?"
As for whether he will die after being crossed, he must make a judgment after knowing all the plans of the devil outside the world. Moreover, he is now at the end of time, cutting off the flow of the world into the future, representing the concept of the end of all things. As long as the technology and knowledge that appeared in the past will naturally be mastered and cracked, it is almost impossible to kill him.
Moreover, he also holds the authority of the players, and with the blessing of the power of Ragnarok, he can formulate powerful rules at will. Unless it was a voluntary death, no one could kill him.
This is not bragging, it is purely a fact-based judgment.
"Why don't we try it now." Ximu opened his arms and said to the demon outside the world, "Right now, we will cross the Ragnarok, the world's greatest...evil."
Can't do it.
The Outsider Devil knew very well that he couldn't do it. Even if he is allowed to attack, he cannot kill Akhtar. After becoming the Lord of Ashes, Akhtar possesses an almost invincible immortality that cannot be achieved even if the Death Witch comes.
"It can't be done." The demon outside the world said calmly, "I don't have the ability to... kill you."
"Really?" Ximu showed a disappointed expression.
"But as long as you give us time." The demon outside the world suddenly spoke and explained to Akhtar, "The Witch of Time and I have collected the souls of all witches and demons in the past history. They are all the most amazing and talented people in history. "
He said so.
"If you can not interfere with the past, let them come together in an era, let them collide with each other and grow with each other."
Ximu said: "Do you hope there is someone among them who can surpass me?"
This should be the game background of the DLC, but based on the setting of Game Gate, in the end it is up to the players to defeat Ragnarok themselves. But now that he is Ragnarok, who should he look for to defeat him. Unless he is willing to commit suicide.
"It's just hope." The demon outside the world said frankly, "When all the geniuses from the past are gathered together, no one can guarantee whether a monster that surpasses you will be born, and a technology that is enough to kill you will be born."
At this point, he added another sentence.
"But as long as you can do it successfully, the people you care about will be able to survive."
【be opposed to! 】The sound of the system suddenly entered his mind, making Ximu suddenly remember that he had a system.
"Let me think about it." Ximu released his hand on the outside demon's shoulder, and then passed by the outside demon. "Don't try to leave, otherwise you will be burned to ashes in an instant." As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared into the deep darkness.
The demon outside the world breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Akhtar was beginning to feel moved by his words, and he also knew how dangerous what he had said before was.
In order to be able to transcend Ragnarok, the Witch of Time collected great men and geniuses from the past, and then asked them to take the souls collected in the past to the outside world - the so-called Hall of Valor.
All the heroes in past history gathered there, all existing to deal with the Twilight of the Gods. But in the past, the souls of heroes collected could not be resurrected at will, otherwise it would cause disturbances in the time level. They could only exist in the Hall of Valor with nothing, and could not come to reality at will, otherwise it would trigger the arrival of Ragnarok. . Not to mention that the Witch of Time also plans to have all the heroic spirits descend at the same time period, and use their talents to collide with each other to come up with a way to transcend Ragnarok.
But when the heroes of past history gather in one era, the disruption to time will be unprecedentedly severe. It might cause Ragnarok to fall in an instant. But if the Lord of Ashes was given a personality and could ignore all the heroes in the past who came to the same era, and allowed all the heroes to grow up and study how to overcome the Twilight of the Gods, the situation would be completely different.
However, all the above plans must be based on Akhtar's willingness to agree, that is, Akhtar is willing to sacrifice himself in exchange for everyone moving towards the future. And if Akhtar is unwilling to sacrifice himself and instead chooses to create the world in a world of ashes, the era belonging to the omniscient god will be locked in an instant, and the glory of creation will rush into the future to burn everything in the old world. Everything that is the driving force to create a new world. This also means that all traces of the past will be erased.
Whether it is himself or the Witch of Time who can jump freely through time, they will stay in the old time and be completely burned in the flames of creation.
"Akhtar, how will you choose?" The demon outside the world said to himself, as if he was telling others, "Would you choose a world with you or a world with them?"
No matter what you choose, there will be irreparable regrets. This fate was sealed after Akhtar became the Lord of Ashes. And even if Akhtar chooses a world with them, he may not be able to transcend Ragnarok and let the blocked time continue to rush towards the future.
Akhtar is so strong now that he is almost invincible. At present, the only person who can clearly restrict Akhtar's actions is Akhtar himself. If a way to overcome Ragnarok is not found before Akhtar's personality disappears, everything will be irreversible.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"System, have you repaired the panel?" Ximu's voice was terrifyingly calm, making it impossible to hear his thoughts.
[It has not been repaired yet. 】The system whispered, looking very unconfident. During this period, He has been working very hard to repair the system panel. Theoretically, it can be repaired in a few months. But the host was really ridiculously strong. Before he could repair the panel, the world was burned to ashes by the host.
This was also the reason why He suddenly had a bad premonition. Suddenly observing the external situation, he found that the world had been burned to ashes, and there was a demon tempting his host to commit suicide.
Ximu was silent for a moment and asked: "Is this world real?"
【Um. 】The system recognizes it.
"No wonder there is no way to go offline." Ximu said so, the last bit of luck in his heart was crushed.
[Host, you have no way to go offline. ] The system explained, [The host's body in reality has been burned to ashes, and there is no carrier to carry your soul in the real world. 】
"If this world is reality?" Ximu whispered, "Why can I upgrade, pull out the Sword of Light, and resist time regression?"
The system subconsciously said: [Because host, you have a system. 】
Ximu: "..."
[Host, don’t think about death. ] The system voice became anxious, worried that the host would start to lose his mind, [There are many places worth remembering in this world. 】
Ximu looked around at the world that had been burned to ashes. Could it be that he wanted to commemorate the ashes?
[Host, there is a hidden life catalog in your body. With that catalog, you can create the same world as in the past. ] The system explained this, [And as long as the host becomes the creator, it can meet the conditions for leaving the current world. 】
Ximu said: "Then all traces of them will be erased."
system:"……"
In fact, he doesn't care at all about most people in this world. The only thing he cares about is the host itself. From His perspective, the host can become the Creator, and there is nothing to lose. Anyway, if there is a life catalog, similar people can be created. But it seems that the host doesn't want similar people.
If the host is allowed to act on its own, it might create a world where only the host does not exist. So after thinking for a moment,
[Host, do you know about the DLC of "Mysterious Door"? 】
