Chapter 813 Dreaming of Becoming You
Chapter 813 Dreaming of Becoming You
Although Sora had already seen that the master in front of him, who called himself "Nazisen Cruz," would inevitably achieve nothing in his next move, and he himself was already prepared for the other party to draw his sword in anger.
However, upon hearing the words, "If I can save 50%, I will overdraw my life to try my best to save 60% of the people," Kong couldn't help but feel deep respect for this master who had a pure desire to save the world.
In this world, not everyone is willing to sacrifice their life for others.
The master took the holy sword from Jacob's hands.
After Jacob forged it, the holy sword was transformed from a wooden sword that resembled a child's toy into a normal metal longsword that radiated golden light.
However, compared to the master's extremely large body, the way he held the Narcissus Cross Holy Sword looked like a person of normal size holding an embroidery needle, which was inexplicably comical and awkward.
As the surrounding seawater suddenly surged, Xu Ning, Kong, and Katarina all knew that the seals of the four quadrants had been completely overturned, and the suppressing power had turned into a surging power. The countless openings of the "Surging Tree" would allow the seawater of the Primordial Embryonic Sea to once again submerge Fontaine in an instant.
Caterpillar was clearly anxious. Even though Fontaine had made so many preparations during the last short period of high sea level, and even without the threat of dissolution, many unfortunate people still lost their lives in the flood.
If a flood of that scale were to come again, who knows how many more lives would be lost? But looking at Xu Ning and Kong, neither of them showed the slightest sign of tension.
Even that little white thing floating in the water... well, if I'm not mistaken, that little thing's expression was one of schadenfreude.
Katarina looked at Paimon, who was smiling with his eyes crinkled, somewhat speechlessly. Her attention was momentarily diverted, and without realizing it, her anxiety was relieved by more than half.
The holy sword in the master's hand began to radiate intense light. If it was a lightsaber just now, it had now transformed into a giant torch, which was quite fitting for its size.
"What's going on... Why can't I control the Primordial Sea of Conception... No, it's not that I can't control it, the Primordial Sea of Conception is almost completely gone? Could it be that the evil beast that can devour stars has already come? But the Sea of Conception has become like this, why hasn't the Bell of Doomsday made any sound? You... you..."
The usually indifferent and rational master had become somewhat enraged. His gaze swept over everyone, and he seemed to suddenly understand something. In particular, the way the little white-haired boy covered his mouth and laughed out a long string of bubbles made him certain of something.
"Did you do this? Why? Why would you do this?"
Although the questioning was directed at everyone, Kong clearly sensed that the master was speaking only to Xu Ning.
"Why not let a new world be born? You know we are different from you, we will all slowly die in the dream of the eggshell..."
Paimon hadn't expected that the master wasn't speaking to her at all; used to being the one to speak for her, she answered without hesitation.
"I think you should wake up from your dream. Saving the world isn't something you can do alone. At the very least, everyone should work together to find a solution."
Kong gently tugged at Paimon's cloak, signaling her not to chime in. The Master was on the verge of exploding with rage, and Paimon's taunts at this moment might attract attention at any moment.
Xu Ning sighed softly, took a few steps forward, and stood at the master's feet.
"I told you this a long time ago, didn't I..."
Xu Ning slowly began to speak: "Because you are a Fontaineese who are accustomed to mechanical structures, you pursued the stability and perfection of data too much when deriving the 'world formula,' which led you astray. Moreover, various variables emerged in the four hundred years that followed... As the saying goes, a small difference can lead to a huge error, and what you missed was not even a fraction of a fraction..."
The master looked down at Xu Ning, completely unaware that his body was shrinking at a visible rate. He replied, "I actually did notice. The values I filled into the world's scale a long time ago changed drastically after I awoke. Someone silently took control of the life force, and someone secretly created a beast kingdom. I should have realized this sooner, I should have realized it the first time I saw you... but I thought I could at least save the people of Fontaine first, and then..."
The power of life? The kingdom of beasts?
Hearing the word "emptiness" from the master's mouth, I couldn't help but have a thought.
The power that best embodies the life force of Teyvat seems to be the power possessed by the former water god. He even used the primordial sea to grant his followers the right to transform into humans. If it weren't for the punishment from Sky Isles, the "people" of Fontaine would probably have truly become human long ago.
Besides the water god, who else could wield such power?
Thinking of this, Kong couldn't help but look at the Dust Concealment Gourd in Xu Ning's hand.
The life force contained in those wines, with attributes completely opposite to the all-destroying dark power of the abyss... Is it him?
And that so-called "Kingdom of Beasts".
Is it referring to the Beast Realm created by "Gold" Rhinedoth? That place has actually become a kingdom-like existence? And not just a collection of evil thoughts in the Void Abyss?
From the relationship between that "Extreme Evil Rider" and "Golden," as well as his relationship with Brother Xu, Kong could almost easily guess a terrifying conclusion.
This made Kong not even dare to continue thinking about it.
If the timing and location weren't so wrong, Kong would have been tempted to ask the master what kind of vision it had seen in the derived "world-state".
However, it was Jacob who asked the question first.
"Master Lei... how did your body become like this?"
Since Xu Ning came out, the master's body has shrunk to the size of a normal person.
"My rank has plummeted... I was almost about to become the new cosmic order, reaching a rank that would never be reverted, yet in such a short time I've fallen to this state..."
The master looked at the "holy sword" in his hand and nodded, saying, "Yes, I finally understand."
“The Holy Sword was never on my side from beginning to end. It stripped me of all the will of the people I had gathered, leaving me only with that cowardly, ordinary humanity, that personality called René.”
"Its arrival is to unite the will of all living beings, and then, through my hand, to go where it is meant to go..."
The master casually tossed the holy sword directly to Xu Ning in front of him.
"I've had this dream countless times, dreaming that I want to be like you. But that dream, just now, has been completely shattered."
