This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic

 After the pocket watch appeared, it floated towards Muyou.

The surrounding chaotic meteorites suddenly accelerated wildly and violently crashed around the pocket watch, sending the pocket watch flying all over the sky, as if trying to prevent it from approaching Mu You.

 But no matter how many times it was knocked away, the pocket watch still floated towards Muyou resolutely until it finally fell into his hand.

The moment he got the pocket watch, Mu You suddenly felt at ease.

 This is the first thing he got as an ordinary person when he first entered this bizarre world and had nothing.

 In this regard, even his current main power order theocracy is a latecomer. Mu You has not forgotten that the pocket watch is his first wealth, and it is also the core prop that accompanies him all the way to complete primitive accumulation.

Although various powerful divine powers and props continued to appear later, slightly covering up the light of the pocket watch, they have never been able to replace its existence.

The pocket watch is like an unknown supporter who always stands behind him. Although it is not as dazzling as other divine weapons, it is always his most trustworthy and solid backing.

 In fact, Mu You once doubted why the pocket watch, which was also an initial relic, was more powerful than other hidden relics and even some artifacts.

 At least in terms of practicality, pocket watches have never lost to any props.

Until now, Mu You has fully understood that the pocket watch is not a simple prop. Its origin is far beyond many people's imagination: it is actually another top divine power that is no less than the divine power of order!

In other words, Muyou has been blessed by the top divine power from the very beginning, and has gone all the way to the present, and only then has he achieved his current achievements.

 “Adventurer, do you need some time?”

 A light voice sounded in his ears.

Mu You looked down and saw in a daze that behind the pocket watch, there seemed to be a thumb-sized fairy with wings on its back. It supported its arms on the dial, tilted its head, and looked at him with clear eyes.

When Mu You looked again, the little man had disappeared, and it seemed to be just an illusion.

But Mu You knew that this was not an illusion, but an incarnation of the pocket watch’s autonomous consciousness.

 The Time Fairy, or Time Fairy, he once thought was just a legend, but he never thought it really existed.

Of course, this is not actually a creature with a real entity, but a virtual existence more similar to those smoke beast administrators, a special creature that specializes in managing the laws of time.

 “Yes, I need it.”

 Mu You nodded without hesitation and expressed his request.

“I need time to see clearly the sea of ​​stars in front of me.”

“I need enough time to see every rune and every interaction of chaos and order, and find a way out here…”

Mu You has used his pocket watch countless times before, and has always felt that this kind of backtracking thousands of times is a huge torture to the human spirit.

 It was only now that he felt the preciousness of time for the first time, and it was the first time he was so eager to get enough time.

 He began to long for time, and time immediately responded to him.

 “Okay.” The light voice sounded again.

 “Then I’ll give you time…”

 “You will have as much time as you need…”

With the words of the time elf, the second hand of the time pocket watch suddenly began to shake, jumping repeatedly between 0-10.

This time, it was not Mu You's control, but the pocket watch running on its own.

 Mu You breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his deviation value.

 Sure enough, it no longer improves retroactively over time.

 This is because he is no longer eager to continue this duel. The appearance of the pocket watch not only gives him unlimited error tolerance, but also quietly changes his mentality.

Mu You naturally gave the time to him with his pocket watch. These ten seconds of endless wandering were regarded as the intermission time.

 Because he knew that he could not defeat this chaotic clone no matter what.

 So he needs to stop to recuperate and re-understand the laws of order until his understanding of the laws is raised to a level high enough to defeat the opponent before re-entering the duel.

 During this period, because he believed that it did not belong to the time of theocratic duel, he naturally would not increase his deviation.

Mu You sat cross-legged in the empty starry sky and reorganized his thoughts.

The laws of order he now masters were acquired through hands-on training with the Pen of Order.

 The Pen of Order is an artifact created by the God of Order.

 In other words, the laws of order he now masters, in the final analysis, still rely on the order system created by the God of Order.

However, the God of Order has never won a battle with the God of Chaos. This shows that the system built by the God of Order is not specifically built to defeat chaos, but for something else, more importantly. important purpose.

Mu You has no way of knowing the specific reasons for constructing this set of laws of order, but the God of Order may have sacrificed some of the ability to restrain chaos in his own laws for this reason. Therefore, when facing the God of Chaos, he always Controlled everywhere.

Now, if Mu You wants to defeat the God of Chaos, he must first overthrow the laws of the God of Order, and start from the principle of "order is greater than chaos" to build his own order system from scratch.

This must be an extremely long process. It may have taken the original God of Order tens of thousands of years or even longer to build his own theocratic system, but Mu You does not think that his talent for order will be higher than that of the God of Order. .

 Fortunately, he has systematically studied the system of the God of Order and has a sufficient understanding of the laws of order. Now he only needs to stand on the shoulders of the God of Order and introduce the old system into the new, and the difficulty will be greatly reduced.

Of course, even so, the time required must have been tens of thousands of years.

 But no matter how long it takes, Mu You will not complain, so he understands how precious this opportunity is: what other gods would take tens of thousands of years to complete, he can have in just ten seconds.

This is the gift given to him by the Time Pocket Watch. If such a good opportunity is wasted, Mu You himself will feel ashamed.

 “Then, let’s start from the first rune of order…”

Mu You stared intently at the starry sky in front of him, turning a blind eye to the meteorites attacking around him. He gently waved the brush in his hand, constructing runes one after another in front of him...

 As the deduction began, Mu You quickly entered a special state of trance, even forgetting his own existence for a time, and blended in with the order and chaos around him.

 In this way, Mu You was immersed in the world of ideas.

 Start the entire chess game from scratch, repeat it over and over again, and find order in the chaos.

 And based on the experience gained through deduction, reconstruct your own order system from scratch bit by bit.

Time passes like water, day after day, year after year...

 Mu You, who was immersed in understanding, did not notice that his danger deviation value, which was originally higher than 95%, began to naturally decrease over time.

 From 90%, to 70%, then to 50%, 30%, 10%…

This is not because his deviation value is decreasing, but because his deviation upper limit is starting to increase.

  If the original upper limit of the deviation was only one hundred and the deviation value was 95, and now the upper limit has been doubled to 800 or 900, but the deviation value is still 95, then the deviation value ratio will naturally be greatly reduced.

 In short, while the blood volume remains unchanged, the health bar becomes longer...

 His understanding of the laws of order also improved rapidly in the process, gradually catching up with the chaotic clone, and even gradually surpassing it...

 …

I don’t know how long it took, but Mu You, whose figure completely dissipated in the starry sky, suddenly condensed into the original position, maintaining a cross-legged posture, and then opened his eyes.

 “Thank you for your hard work, that’s enough.”

Mu You looked at the pocket watch in his hand that was still ticking the time, with a smile on his lips.

Meteorites around him were hitting him as usual, but they couldn't even get close to him.

Mu You just glanced at it casually without making any movement. The meteorites representing chaos naturally dissipated and disintegrated. At this time, Mu You has completed the process of building a new order system.

The biggest difference from the order system he learned in the lighthouse before is that he only learned the rules of order before, which is equivalent to the stand-alone mode, and what he learned was a bit like talking on paper.

 Now, he is conducting actual combat exercises in a chaotic environment, and the system he has built is for practicality from beginning to end.

 Mu You could not estimate how long it took him to complete this process, but he could still roughly estimate it through the changes in the upper limit of the deviation.

 In the process of deriving the law, his upper limit of deviation has been rising steadily, increasing by 6%-7% of the original value every year, and approximately doubling every 15 years.

 At the moment, his deviation value is 0.14%, but before he started to comprehend, his deviation value was more than 95%.

 The deviation value has basically not changed within these ten seconds, which shows that his upper limit of deviation is now nearly 700 times higher than at the beginning!

 700 multiplied by 15, 10,500 years... This is approximately the time he stayed in the retrospection this time.

 As Mu You woke up, the second hand of the pocket watch stopped moving back, began to cross 10, and continued to run backwards normally.

At the top of the pocket watch, the figure of the Time Elf reappeared, but he seemed to be paralyzed from exhaustion, lying weakly on the top of the dial, with his two tiny arms twitching. After continuously moving the second hand for thousands of years, it no longer had the strength to even raise its head and speak.

 “Thank you for your hard work, please take a good rest.”

Mu You carefully put away his pocket watch, took a deep breath, and looked up at the chaotic clone in front of him.

 Hands skillfully picked up a white piece and put it down casually.

One chaos rune was eliminated, but it did not improve the situation in any way. There were still very few order runes on the entire board.

However, the chaotic clone opposite him said nothing at this moment. Instead, his face was heavy and he looked at this scene with great solemnity.

 A few seconds later, the chaos clone continued to move, killing the runes of order.

But Mu You didn't resist at all, he did his own thing and allowed the other party to kill his remaining soldiers.

Soon, only one of his sons was killed.

 But it was this last piece that put the opponent in a long test, unable to make a move.

At this time, the entire board has been filled with infinite riots. Countless chaotic runes are wandering around in it, eroding and destroying everything in sight. They even want to overturn the entire chess game, break away from the world of the chess game, and rush into the real world. , continue to erode and destroy more things, until everything turns into chaos...

On the entire board, only Mu You's white piece, like a needle that stabilizes the sea, firmly stabilized the entire chess game and prevented the entire situation from overturning.

 Chaos clone suddenly sighed: "It seems you already understand."

“Yes, I understand.” Mu You nodded.

During those ten thousand years of enlightenment, he had deduced this chess game countless times, and had completely understood every step and every piece of this chess game. He even went beyond the current chess game and continued to deduce backwards, seeing the chaos. The ending under leadership.

 Chaotic sea of ​​stars, this piece of music that represents violence, if not restricted, will continue to climb to higher climaxes, and then in the ultimate chaos and explosion, like the explosion of a thermonuclear weapon, it will lead to self-destruction.

“It is true that the ultimate order is silence, but the ultimate chaos is also silence. It’s just that one is cold silence and the other is heat silence.” Mu You spoke slowly.

“In the confrontation between order and chaos, no one can really eliminate the other. The two must be interdependent. You have known this for a long time, so you used the method of attacking the mind to guide my deviation value to break through the limit.”

 Mu You said as he made random moves.

This time there is no need to backtrack or even think, every step is as natural as eating and drinking.

But even with such a random move, the opponent was killed horribly, and he was in a hurry and found it difficult to parry.

 The area representing order on the disk began to expand at an extremely rapid rate.

This is not because Mu You's understanding of the law has completely crushed the opponent, but because Mu You's current order system was specially established to restrain chaos.

Just three minutes later, Mu You had already brought the situation back to a tie.

 The balance of order has also returned to a balanced state.

"But what if you understand the relationship between order and chaos? So what if you are stronger than me?" The chaos clone said: "You still can't destroy me."

"Yes, I can't kill you, and you can't kill me. Unless one party has a psychological breakdown first, the winner can be determined..." Mu You nodded in agreement.

“Then are you planning to waste time with me?” Chaos clone sneered: “I can continue to waste time with you here for countless years, but do you have the time? There should be many things waiting for you to do in reality, right?”

“In fact, from the moment you sit on this chessboard, it is already destined to be my victory!” The chaos clone is still outputting.

Facing the chaotic clone's statement, Mu You did not answer directly, but suddenly looked at him with a smile: "I finally understand the purpose of the God of Order in keeping you here..."

With the level of the laws of order that he has understood over the past ten thousand years, he can easily crush this clone, let alone the God of Order who has studied the law of order for countless years.

Even when he is on the verge of death, the God of Order is actually fully capable of killing the opponent.

 But the God of Order did not do this. Instead, he used a more troublesome method to imprison the clone in the tower. In fact, it was a gift prepared for future generations.

“The reason why the God of Order deliberately kept you is not so that I can destroy you…”

“—But so that I can fuse with you.” Mu You said with a smile.

When the chaotic clone on the opposite side heard these words, his expression suddenly turned ferocious, as if he had been stabbed in a painful spot, and he began to attack crazily on the chessboard.

However, it was useless. No matter how hard the opponent struggled, Mu You responded one by one. The number of black and white chess pieces on the board always remained equal, and the balance always remained level.

 The chaotic clone became more and more frantic, struggling desperately, trying to break the balance of the situation.

Mu You became more and more leisurely, and the white stones fell one by one. The situation was stable and balanced. You are as strong as you can be, and the breeze is blowing on the hills.

“Don’t try it, it’s useless.” Mu You even had time to mock.

"The three major laws, chaos, order, and time, are special divine rights that are independent of other divine rights. The three divine rights are equal and stand on a tripod. There is no saying that one is higher than the other."

"But now, time is on the side of order. Even a small part of the time authority is enough to leverage the three-legged structure. Therefore, you will lose."

With these words of Mu You, the chaotic clone on the opposite side seemed to have been broken, and the deviation value in the body jumped sharply. The whole person changed from his previous elegance and calmness, and became ferocious and arrogant, glaring at Mu You fiercely.

The shadow man suddenly gave up on the chessboard and rushed towards Muyou's body with bared teeth and claws.

Mu You remained motionless, sitting still. His whole body was soon chaotically entangled by the black energy, but he allowed the black energy to wreak havoc on his body, and instead smiled.

 “A child can be taught…”

In the balance, there was a faint sound of satisfied laughter, but it was a pity that Mu You was immersed in the chaos of the confrontation and could not hear it.

 …

I don’t know how long it took, but when Mu You opened his eyes again, the black energy on his body and the chaotic clone opposite him had disappeared, and he was sitting alone in the center of the scale.

Mu You stood up from the scale and turned to look around.

 He was the only one in the whole world, and there were no traces of battle around him.

 It seems that it is his one-man show from beginning to end.

 But Mu You knew very well that what just happened was not an illusion.

 Because in his mind at this moment, a little white man, a little black man, and a pocket watch, respectively representing order, chaos, and time, the three divine powers, are being separated and determined in the sky of his mind.

 Among them, the little white man is the thickest and tallest, representing the new order of theocracy that he established himself.

Black villain Secondly, from the appearance, you can still see the outline of the black shadow man just now. This is the chaotic clone who was forcibly 'kidnapped' by him.

At this moment, the little black man is struggling wildly, like a violent beast, but he is firmly suppressed by the little white man opposite with a long white whip, and he is still unable to get out of his position. The relationship between two black and white villains is like a doctor and a mental patient.

 Finally, there is the pocket watch, which represents the law of time, but is the smallest in size. It occupies a neutral position, watching the two villains fighting opposite each other indifferently. (End of chapter)
