Chapter 38: The Truth of the Myth

Subtle, William can feel Remedios still Continue the work at hand.

“At this time”, she is still burning her magic power, trying to close the loop of her time and fix herself as a phenomenon.

Even as a Divine Domain-level powerhouse, fueled by the magic power in her personal etheric domain, the phenomena that can finally be fixed are only some extremely subtle things.

For example, to be a ghost on a lighthouse that appears on rainy nights, or a tiny sunspot that can occasionally be observed on the moon.

Maybe in this world many legends come from this way.

As for what the other party is doing… According to the Tacoma member, she plans to use herself as a pawn to break into history, connecting the “William Kane” and “Eighth Holy Spirit”. two concepts.

The name William Kane has been enshrined in the empire for 800 years, and the belief contained in it is enough as fuel to complete the closed loop. So she intends to use William who was 1008 years ago as the main body of the ceremony, and use herself as a closed loop of the medium to send the faith of 1008 years and a thousand back to the past.

Once successful, the power of Holy Spirit is something that is always there.

Of course, William and Remedios will naturally become phenomena and be fixed in this way. Although William didn’t know whether he would retain his sense of self, Remedios was definitely finished.

So he directly opened the mouth and said:

“It has nothing to do with what you are doing right now when I come back, so stop now.”

“No, don’t lie to me, Lord Inquisitor…”

An unexpected unfathomable mystery answer.

It’s a very strange thing, obviously the other person is a group of countless illusory shadows overlapping, the ordinary person will be dizzy just by looking at it, but William can really feel the seriousness on the other side’s face And sad expression.

“What did I lie to you?”

William asked quickly.

“I can feel that your current existence is extremely unstable, like an illusory bubble. You can’t really return to the world, right?”

” Huh?”

William only remembered this one at this time.

“Wait…wait a minute.”

William raised his hand in a frenzy to explain.

“Now you are just a fragment of the power of the real Lord William Kane, and he has not really returned.”

William covered his forehead, this misunderstanding was big.

“This is an Avatar created with [Mirror Shadow]…”

He immediately explained.

“Is that so…”

The other party laughed in a lonely manner, and the countless overlapping faces showed a “sure enough” expression at the same time.

What he said just now seemed to corroborate the other party’s guess…

So he hurriedly continued:

“I mean, he, bah, My body is now near the Dawn Fortress, and I can’t come over for some troublesome reasons, so I let…”

In the loop time, he can only move along his own time axis. Therefore, even if the distance between the two is only a few meters, he seems to have nothing to do except explain.

But the other party didn’t seem to pay attention to William’s words. Instead, the ghost on his body began to solidify.

The self at all times is unified, and there is no existence in the past and future. This is a precursor to closing one’s own time axis.

“Lord Judge, this is probably the only thing I can do for you.”

As Remedios’ voice sounded again, all around It began to disintegrate gradually.

“Don’t TMeach minding their own business to help me make a decision, you TM just wait for me!”

This time, William, who was jumping a little in a hurry, roared out directly. Voice.

Remedios was taken aback by William’s sudden movement, and the movement of her hands stopped.

“Have these thousand years made you such an axis?”

“And I don’t want to be the eighth Holy Spirit either!”

William continued to roar.

The words of the previous Tacoma member made William think about a lot of questions.

The settings and background information in the game have always been recorded in the form of history books, and the official has never used the tone of “authority” to determine what a thing is like. Even the officially launched setting collection is to collect and organize a large amount of information under the guise of a historian, and there are even conflicting documents in it.

There are many different speculations about the Void King, Holy Spirit, and the nature of various immortal existences in the player community.

In this respect, he does not have much advantage over the natives here, except that he has more comprehensive information. Even the inertial thinking formed by materialistic education may become an obstacle to understanding this world at some point.

But the theory of time stratification opened William’s mind and answered many questions.

Where did the immortality of the gods come from? What is the so-called authority? Where are the Holy Spirits?

The answers to all these questions can be explained in another time.

Death is a concept of cause and effect, authority is a large and small reincarnation that will be repeated, and Holy Spirits exist in cyclic time.

This reminded William of some of the mythical stories he had read in the real world.

The ancient Norse believed that winter came because the Goddess of Spring was kidnapped by the Ice Giant Race. At this time, Thor will pick up his hammer and go to the ice giant’s territory to save Goddess of Spring. The sparks generated by his knocks become lightning, heralding the arrival of spring.

At the beginning, William thought the most unreasonable thing about this story was that, if it was true, it meant that Goddess of Spring would be kidnapped by the ice giants once every year, and Thor would go there every year to save them. Once Goddess.

From the point of view of human beings, these gods are too careless, aren’t they?

Of course, in the real world, the arrival of spring does not depend on the Goddess of spring blowing, and thunder and lightning are not sparks smashed by the Divine Thunder Hammer – in fact, the so-called Thor is an alien’s probability. Bigger than this, maybe he prefers an axe to a hammer.

However, stories of similar structure abound in the mythology of this world.

The most typical, the King-Rebel conversion myth of the Divine King Oka and the Death God Vala in the Blackwater Marsh region. If you think from the perspective of mortals, you will feel that they are unreasonable – can’t you make up for your defeated safely after becoming a king? Or is it difficult to assign the other party to the underworld to serve as Death God, but to change a priesthood for him?

And what’s worse, unlike the real world, these myths are basically true – because mortals can really gain power from imitating those myths, which no one can do. Doubt is equivalent to iron-clad evidence.

But if it is deduced according to this conclusion, it seems that there is only one possibility – those gods are actually a group of mentally retarded, and their IQ may not be as good as some children.

But now, William understands what’s wrong.

It is true that the gods exist, but they are in another time.

The attempt by mortals to deduce their social structure from those myths is utterly foolish, because the myths themselves are the cycle time they are in.

And this theory reinforces the belief that William had been steadfast in.

Holy Spirit, ancient gods, or even Void King, he can use their power, but he must never give up his human identity to become them.

It’s as if he can use the tides, seasons, and moon phases to defeat his enemies, but can’t make himself the tides, seasons, and moon phases themselves.

In the end, everything is meaningless unless you win as a mortal.
