Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

Mediocre? The headless corpse scratched his belly, You actually said that our great theory is mediocre?

Michaela ignored Shapolili. He walked to the living pots and looked at their bodies covered with water-stained cracks.

Ms. Michaela, you are late. Shapolili smiled, I find an opportunity for a man who is impeccable in his work. How about the meeting with your 'brother', was it touching?

Michaela lowered her eyes:

It was indeed a miscalculation. I didn't expect that it would actually cause a solar eclipse... and I missed the Pot Village.

Don't blame me. After our contract is over, everyone will naturally have to perform their duties. Chapolili said, This is all your fault. It's because you value your relatives too much. It's because you indulged your madness. , didn't kill me - of course, even if you don't indulge, you can't change anything, that is, you can't kill me. Wouldn't it make your young heart feel better - your appeasement and cooperation delayed the destruction of the world for a few days, It’s gratifying, it’s gratifying—”

Before Chappoli could finish speaking, his eyes burst out with madness, and he stabbed at the living pot.

Michaela stood elegantly in front of the living pot, and the epileptic fire hit him, exploding a few strands of silver-white liquid, which slowly healed.

Chapolili said: You should give up, you have no fighting ability. Even if you can suppress some of the madness, you can't suppress me, let alone change the fate of the king. Since destruction will come sooner or later, it's better to enjoy it.

Chappoli tilted his head: Do you want to save these living pots out of guilt and remorse? Or are you just feeling sorry for your water lilies? You still have half of the land without flowers, right? The plan is halfway through again. It’s a shame it failed.”

It is indeed my fault. The nameless changes distracted me and made me make mistakes. Michaela's voice was a little depressed and cold, But Chapolili, I didn't kill you, not because I couldn't kill you.伱. I didn’t kill Rom, and I didn’t solve the problem once and for all. Because I wanted to save them? And because I knew that even if the epilepsy got out of control, it wouldn’t cause much damage. Only those who have the ability to do so are qualified. Talk about salvation.”

You don't want to say that you still have some energy left in the face of such a magnificent scene, do you? Chapolili raised his arms as if to praise the black sun above his head.

This is another mistake of yours. Michaela said, Wu Ming loses control and I will kill him. Because I don't have the confidence to control him. He is an equal to me and it is impossible to treat him in a condescending manner. The threat he brings. Doing your best to deal with him, or being dealt with by him, is my respect for him.

Michaela pointed at Chapolili:

But you...the dog owner is a great person, and it has nothing to do with the dog. Besides, you're not even his dog, you're just being sentimental. The contract is over, and you can leave.

Chapolili smiled:

It's really scary, but how are you going to ask me to leave? You don't have any fighting power, and...you don't have the energy now, right?

Shapolili looked at Micaela's body:

The black sun explodes, and you are suppressing the epilepsy that breaks out due to despair everywhere; you are also deeply suppressing the king's heart; and this body... is just a remotely controlled simulated teardrop. You are ready to spread it all over The water lilies at the junction are only half paved... How many parts have you torn yourself into? Do you have one-tenth of the power you can use to deal with me now?

What's more, Chapolili shook his finger, I am immortal——

A golden needle pierced Chapolili's eye, interrupting his words.

It is true that it is only one-tenth of the strength. Michaela had another golden needle in her hand, I have no choice but to work harder. Fortunately, my body is getting bigger now and I have more physical strength.

This is... Chapolili was surprised.

Do you feel it? Michaela said, Don't you understand why I said that the ideal of epileptic fire is very mediocre?

Michaela sighed: Return to chaos, everything will be unified...have you really never thought about what to do next?

There is no next step. My mission is to make life one. Chapolili said, For what happens next, the great 'one' will naturally solve everything.

Michaela looked up at the black sun:

Nameless?

That's right, said Chappolili.

He will be destroyed, said Michaela.

On your behalf? said Chapolili.

I mean after becoming 'one', the savior, the chosen one, the one who unites all things... Michaela chanted all kinds of terrifying names, and drew a golden needle in front of her neck. Does it exist that is broken?

The golden needle in Michaela's hand lit Chapolili: When you think that 'one' is very powerful, and that the state of chaos is amazing, can you please think back for a moment - now this world is full of vitality, and everything is competing for it. Where did the era come from? Shouldn't you be very clear - it was built on the 'corpse' of 'one'.

Michaela smiled: Let me ask you, do you have any plan to prevent the Supreme Will from dividing Chaos again?

Seeing that Chapolili didn't answer, Michaela twisted the golden needle: Your mission is only to promote the formation of 'one', right? So you don't know. Then let me tell you - Chaos will exist in confusion. , until the Supreme Will returns, divides life again, and reincorporates it into reincarnation - you hate the behavior of the Supreme Will dividing life, and what you end up doing is turning into chaos again, like a defenseless puppy with its belly exposed all the time. Waiting for the master to favor you again?

Michaela tilted her head: Are you cheap?

Chaporelli said: How do you know whether the Supreme Will will come?

What I know is that chaos has no consciousness. Michaela said, We are integrated into one, and we may wait for tens of thousands of years, or we may wait for tens of millions of years, but no matter how long, 'One' will not realize it. For 'One' 'For me, the only difference, and the only perception, is to wait for someone who can end his existence.

It's just what you think you are, said Chappolili.

It's not me who says that all things come from one. That's your crazy understanding. Michaela said calmly, I just remind you that you have no means to stop the supreme will from turning one into Everything.”

You don't have any evidence to prove it, Schiapolilli said.

The way you look now, can't you prove it? Michaela looked at the headless corpse with a smile. From the beginning, the corpse had been motionless, and the epilepsy on his body was getting weaker and weaker. What a great ideal - You can’t pass my test yet.”

Michaela looked at Shapolili's body:

Let me tell you one more thing. The reason why I let you spread madness is because I can stop you at any time. The one I have the power to solve is not Wuming, but you.

Pure golden needle... Shapolili said, He should only be able to suppress epileptic fire... suppress the influence of external gods. How can it have the dispersing effect...

Because the previous golden needle was not completed. Michaela looked at the golden needle that was as delicate as a tiny sacred tree. Before it was completed, it was destroyed by Meng... The plan always failed to keep up with the changes. It was really disappointing. Hate.

Michaela stared at Chapolili:

What happened to Wuming was not planned. I'm quite irritated right now. Please, can you shut up?

Expulsion... hum. Shapolili said, But I am immortal, Lady Michaela. I just need to change my body. And I am not alone.

For monsters that grow in the estrangement between people's hearts, ordinary attacks are indeed ineffective. Michaela said, Then...kill your roots.

Chappoli smiled: Kill me? Kill me? What are you going to do? Let the separation between lives disappear? If you are willing to ignite the madness, I am willing to respect you as a king.

Who said that the only thing that separates you and me can be melted by flames. Michaela raised her arms, At the same time, you comfort the epilepsy patient, Wuming, and you, maintain a concrete dream for most of the people on the border, and you have to be separated by It’s really tiring for Yatan to control Ashmi, so come to the field I’m familiar with and fight in the world I’m good at.”

Dream... Shapolili looked around, reality began to distort, and everything around him was being pulled into another world.

Impossible. Your water lilies only cover half of the world. How can your power be so large... Chappoli's voice finally became more volatile.

Is it big? Michaela said, Then you have to endure it, because next, you will be very, very scared. You will feel the feeling of being next to death for the first time.

Chapolili suddenly laughed:

You don't dare to do this, you can't do this. If you had this method, you wouldn't have delayed here for so long. Connecting the hearts of the whole world in a dream is a good way, but then, my king will completely lose control—— He is a vessel that faithfully reflects the world and furthers it. As soon as he feels the malice of the world, he will immediately lose control and there will be no room for recovery.

Michaela was silent for a moment and nodded:

This is indeed what I'm worried about. I originally wanted to deal with Wu Ming first and then you.

Michaela wrapped her fingers around her blond hair:

To kill Chapolili, we have to face the nameless threat. To deal with the nameless threat, we have to deal with the troublesome Chapolili... This entangled feeling... is really familiar and annoying.

He sighed helplessly:

I really hate when unplanned things happen. But now that it has happened, people always have to look forward, right? Since everyone is willing to bet on this possibility, I will accompany you and make a big bet. Bar.

Stop! Chapolili finally panicked, Why don't you realize that everyone in the world is living in pain, ruthless man of God, are you going to sit back and watch all this happen?!

Michaela poked her face with her finger and smiled:

For hundreds of years, there has been a guy who has been whispering in my ears that the essence of life is pain.

Michaela held the golden needle and let go:

Chaporelli, we met in a dream.

When the golden needle fell to the ground, it didn't seem to fall on the grass, but made waves like water waves.

In the southern part of Yatan, where Michaela was hiding, which was roughly located at the midpoint of the junction, a mighty force spread out and spread out along the continent.

The border area that had been bustling for hundreds of years fell into the quietest period after the black sun appeared, the snow mountains collapsed, and the noise reached its peak.

All living creatures fell into a deep and quiet sleep.

Almost all of them.

Melina, come out quickly! Michaela said, I'm dreaming about Chappoli, come out of the sea of ​​fire quickly!

Melina heard Micaela's voice in her head and smiled bitterly.

She took a look at her body. The burns all over her body were only the slightest injuries. Her body was almost transparent.

Looking back at the way she came, she was surrounded by a sea of ​​fire. She couldn't even remember how long she had been walking.

The only thing that is clear is that when you look up at the black sun in front of you, a crescent moon has already gnawed at the black sun. If you keep persisting, it should be able to cut off half of it before disappearing completely.

Because there is only one eye... Melina stopped and breathed tiredly, Michaela, I can't go back. You must kill Shapolili.

In Michaela's silence, Melina smiled: You said you have made such a big circle, what will happen to you, I will still be burned to death.

Michaela said: Because Chapolili always wants to make Wuming crazy, so this time the hidden dangers were solved in advance?

Melina said: But if you ignored me from the beginning and killed Chappolili directly, he would have no chance.

But if I am willing to give up my loved ones, I will not study the law of pure gold in order to save Marlenia, and there will be no way I can compete with Shapolili and those outside gods.

Melina smiled: You have a point. I'm going to die and I won't give in.

Michaela's voice was very low:

Is it because of my ability? I can always avoid force and win without a fight. As a result, my plans always have factors beyond my abilities, causing everything to fall short.

Maybe this is fate. Melina said.

They both fell into silence, with only the sound of fire surrounding them.

Melina said, What are you waiting for?

Waiting for you to die. Michaela said. Until you die, Chapolili cannot be imprisoned and can still cause trouble in reality.

Did he cause trouble?

The giant who controls the snow-capped mountains is preparing to forcefully break through the snow-capped mountains, kill my body, and abort my plan.

Did he succeed?

You didn't fall asleep, so I left two people - Godfrey and Latarn fighting giants. Mikaela said.

How did they fight?

Let me show you.

There was a virtual image in front of Melina's eyes.

Godfrey and Brokenstar were covered in blood, and around them were completely broken giants.

The two of them tore apart another giant each, and made a few gestures in the air, as if they were competing to see who could kill more giants, and then looked at each other and laughed.

The killing is almost over, Michaela said. Chapolili has no chance.

The two fell into silence again, with only Melina's body becoming more and more transparent.

What are you doing? Melina asked.

Praying. Michaela, who likes to take matters into her own hands, answered.

Melina smiled, feeling Michaela's unique embarrassment.

After smiling for a moment, Melina said:

goodbye.

...Goodbye. Michaela said, suddenly feeling that something was wrong, Wait, please raise your head, and I will lend you your eyes.

Melina was reminded by Michaela and also noticed it.

The giant sun above our head... doesn't seem so hot anymore?

It's shrinking! said Michaela. They did it! He did it!

Michaela clearly felt that the sense of contamination and aggression that had been oppressing her spirit began to dissipate.

========

Wuming stood in the sunshine, looking at the warriors on the cliff with their arms raised high, praising the sun. The sun shines through the arms and reflects on the nameless face.

He stepped forward and approached the stalwart figure, reaching out his hand to touch it, but he was afraid of breaking a fragile dream.

Am I already dead? Wuming murmured, It would be nice if I could see you after death. Are you here to pick me up?

The Sun Warrior stopped praising the sun, put his hands on his hips, and looked at the sun:

The sun is so great. Like an extraordinary father.

I really hope that one day I can be as big and full of heat as the sun...

You've already done it. Wuming's voice was filled with bitterness.

The Sun Warrior turned around and faced Wuming:

how about you?

I've been following your path, but... I always mess up and ruin everything. Wuming said lowly,

Let the coprophags cause a lot of damage in order to make more runes; try hard to help others, only to force them into the cruel mission they wanted to escape; and you... I couldn't kill those bugs. What if I could have killed the bugs sooner... If I had killed the bugs earlier, I wouldn't have had to... kill you.

Wuming raised his eyes slightly and looked at the solemn-faced Holy Emblem of the Sun on his chest:

I've been meaning to say sorry to you.

The Sun Warrior chuckled and said, I want to hear you say thank you even more.

Wuming said: You are the one who should be the sun.

I have become the sun, said the Sun Warrior.

Wuming raised his head and looked at him.

I became your sun, said the Sun Warrior, and you became the sun of more people.

The Sun Warrior points to the front of the cliff.

Countless people appeared in mid-air, holding rays of light in their hands, converging into the bright sunshine.

Among them were Millicent, Caleb, Seren, Tops, a hybrid omen, a perfumer and an immortal... There were countless nameless people with blurry faces, holding lights in their hands, shining on them. Brighten up this world.

I have no right to be treated like this... Wuming said, They are all in danger because of me. I have already done that.

And they chose to advance and retreat with you. The Sun Warrior said, Isn't this great?

But I am really tired. I have burned out, leaving only ashes. Wuming said, And even the sun... will go out.

Because you gave away all the fire. The Sun Warrior said, And the firewood you lit, when you are about to extinguish it, they are willing to hand over their firewood to you.

The Sun Warrior reached out and wanted to pat Wuming on the shoulder. Wuming twitched subconsciously, fearing that the bubble would dissipate due to the touch.

The Sun Warrior still touched his shoulder and patted him:

It's time to go back.

I'm not qualified... Wuming said, I didn't save you...

Yeah, you didn't save me. The Sun Warrior said, You didn't save your sun.

Wuming lowered his head in shame.

You didn't save me, but you became me. The Sun Warrior said, Now, give them a chance to save you, and give those who are warmed and saved by you a chance to save the sun.

Wuming was stunned. He looked at the Sun Holy Emblem on the chest of the Sun Warrior. The serious face on the Holy Emblem stared at him and suddenly smiled.

The Sun Warrior once again made a gesture of praising the sun, raised his hands, and pulled the holy symbol of the sun on his chest to reveal a smile.

Said the Sun Warrior: Praise the Sun! - Do you really not want to go to that patch of sunshine?

Wuming looked at him with some reluctance.

It seems you have made your decision. Sun Warrior nodded, Go to the cliff, your friends are waiting for you there.

Wuming walked towards the cliff, facing the sunshine, and stretched out his hands to praise the sun.

When the hand fell, the surroundings were still quiet.

I thought there would be crows. Wuming said, Where are the crows? Where are my friends?

Yes, yes, it's right in front, look down. A voice said from behind Wuming.

Wuming took a few steps forward, stood on the protruding rubble, and looked down.

A foot kicked Wuming's back, knocking him into the white light under the cliff.

Patch raised his middle finger to Wuming below with a fierce expression:

Come on, Ni Wai Wai Wai, be more quick - it's up to you to save the world.

Under the cliff, there was a sudden burst of hearty laughter.

Melina saw that the black sun above her head was expanding at an extremely fast speed.

She thought she was about to be swallowed up by the expanding black sun, but she found a warm feeling on her body.

The black on the solar eclipse turned white at an extremely fast speed, expanded and repaired again, but it no longer had the aura of destroying the world. With a strong sacredness, Melina's almost dissipated body actually regenerated under the sunlight. Solidified.

In the dream, Millicent and others discovered that the light they gathered was quickly dissipating.

A familiar figure stepped out of the light, looking around with soft eyes.

Teacher? Millicent was still a little nervous.

Wuming nodded to her: I'm here, I'm here.

Teacher! Millicent rushed forward.

Wuming touched Millicent's hair:

Thank you.

Teacher... Millicent choked up.

Okay, let's talk about the greetings later. Wuming took out the sword from his waist and said,

Let's kill the insects first.
