Dimensional Code

Panting for breath, he put down the weapon in his hand and looked helplessly at the figure in front of him.

"I have used all the strength I have. As you can see, the result is this... Please give me a summary."

"Ha ha………"

To Fang Zheng's surprise, the other party didn't reprimand him, or laugh at him. On the contrary, he chuckled twice, and then looked at Fang Zheng.

"Do you find it strange why none of your attacks have any effect on me?"

"Of course, I'm really weird."

"It's simple."

For some reason, that figure raised his long sword and explained it to Fang Zheng in detail.

"This is the sword of will—to put it simply, only attacks that carry out your will will be effective in front of this sword, and other attacks will have no effect..."

Speaking of this, the figure paused for a moment. Although it had no facial features, Fangzheng could still feel a pair of eyes full of curiosity and doubts staring at him.

"...and the reason why your attack doesn't work is...you never thought about defeating me, you just thought about how to survive my attack...because deep down in your heart , and no firm will to win."

Chapter 359 Carrying Out the True Essence of Will

"...I don't quite understand what you mean."

Fangzheng didn't think there was anything shameful about not being able to win against the opponent. It was normal for him to be unable to win against a powerful existence that could build such a space.If he can win, what is he talking to the opponent?

"It's very simple, the reason why you feel that you can't beat me is because you don't even think about defeating me to win, but it's strange, you are full of persistence in surviving yourself, not only that, I can also feel A very strong self-confidence, that is, you think that as long as you can survive, you will definitely be able to win... It is really a contradictory logic."

Hearing the other party's words, Fangzheng was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.

Indeed, as the other party said, Fangzheng never thought of defeating the other party from the beginning.He just wants to investigate the opponent's strength through temptation, and then find a way to defeat the opponent.But that's all. You said how obsessed Fang Zheng is with defeating the opponent in front of him... He really doesn't have any special ideas.

Perhaps because of this, Fang Zheng's attack had no effect on the opponent at all.

But on the other hand, Fang Zheng has always been obsessed with keeping himself alive. After all, after he came to this world, he encountered a life-and-death battle as soon as he opened his eyes. After that, Fang Zheng's desire for survival increased even more. To the extreme.At that time, not only was he very weak, but he was also carrying a wanted warrant from a cult member. For Fang Zheng at that time, keeping himself alive was the top priority in his life.

And the training in the world of Black Soul strengthened Fang Zheng's will to "be cowardly but not reckless". This is why every time he encounters trouble and danger, his first reaction is to get out of the way. , Fangzheng would never put himself in danger.And the reason why he will complete the system's tasks is also because if he does not complete the tasks, his own strength will be weakened, and if he completes the tasks, his own strength will become stronger, so that he is more guaranteed to survive.

It can be said that until now, everything Fangzheng has done is ultimately for one thing.

survive.

That's it.

"You have already shown me your belief by fighting, so the next step is a verbal confrontation."

While speaking, the figure raised the long sword in his hand again.

"So, tell me, is there anything you want to protect?"

"of course."

Fang Zheng gave the answer without hesitation. If he was alone when he first came to this world, then for Fang Zheng, there are more and more things he needs to protect now.

"So, are you willing to risk everything, even sacrifice your own life, to protect it?"

"I don't want to."

Fangzheng's answer was still without hesitation, but this time, the figure was taken aback for a moment.

"……………Why."

"The reason is very complicated. All in all...you can think of it as some kind of summoning contract. If I die, then they can't continue to exist in this world. Therefore, for them, I can't die either."

"Very good, very interesting, I see what you mean."

Hearing Fangzheng's answer, the figure showed a smile.

"So... what dissatisfaction do you have with your own will?"

"…………"

This time, Fangzheng fell into silence, then he frowned and thought carefully for a moment.

"Perhaps it's because...not kingly enough?"

Fangzheng is not joking, as he said, he always feels that this kind of thinking of himself does not seem to be a reason to become stronger.After all, Fangzheng has also watched so many movies and TV shows. Basically, the characters in them become stronger because they "sacrifice everything for strength" or "sacrifice their own lives to protect others" and so on. But for Fangzheng, his Will is clearly not so radical.

Just to make a joke, if you can become invincible if you become bald, then Fangzheng still needs to think about his hairstyle, he wouldn't even want to lose his hair just to be invincible.

That's why Fangzheng thinks that his ideas are not "kingly" enough, at least compared to those "protagonists" or "villains", he doesn't have the idea of ​​"sacrificing xx for xx" at all, and he can hold on to it determination to implement.

"I think... I can understand what you mean."

Facing Fangzheng's unexpected answer, the figure seemed a little surprised, the other party was silent for a rare moment, and then sighed softly.

"It is true that giving for strength is the rule of this world, but protection is also a firm belief. Living for yourself and for others is not something to be ashamed of."

Having said this, the figure chuckled lightly.

"I have seen many people, as you said, they are willing to sacrifice a lot of things in order to become stronger. But...it's interesting, there are also alternatives like you. Then, I will take what I once said to them , let me tell you again."

Hearing this, Fangzheng also concentrated his energy and listened carefully to what the other party said.

"Be true to your own desires, be true to your own heart. The opinions of others are nothing but dust in the world after all. Only you are your own master. And your power will only exist for yourself. And... …You need to create your own swordsmanship, what you are using now is just something you got from other places, and creating your own swordsmanship will allow you to better see your own path forward .”

After saying this, the figure put away the long sword.

"Okay, so far, I really look forward to what kind of height you can reach, and I can feel that what you are displaying right now is not your real power... Then, the last question, what do you think? What kind of power is your real power?"

"…………………"

Hearing this question, Fangzheng fell into silence. He glanced at the big sword in his hand, and then sighed softly.

"As long as it belongs to me, it is my power."

"...It's interesting, you can go."

As the voice fell, a thick white fog emerged again, enveloping Fangzheng.When he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the mage's tower, and in front of Fangzheng, the mirror that was supposed to stand there had disappeared without a trace.

"The real power...?"

Staring at his palm, Fangzheng muttered to himself.To be honest, according to the routine, he should answer things like mind and will, but for Fang Zheng, his answer is only that.Whether it is the power of the Dimensional Code, the knowledge and spells I have learned in this world, or the power I have obtained in other worlds, all power has only one purpose in the final analysis, and that is to enable Fang Zheng to continue to exist. survive.

"I don't like this kind of understanding the most, and I don't know how it will be scored."

Shaking his head, Fangzheng put down his hand and sighed. Although this battle did not help him successfully break through the legendary bottleneck, Fangzheng managed to understand his own flaws.He has never believed that his will belongs to the "kingly way", and it is precisely because of this that he restricts himself and has no way to break through.But now, what Fangzheng has to do is to give up this idea.
