Mage? Spell Engineer!

"You don't have to be angry." The old voice of the Lord of Order said without surprise, sadness or joy: "Using and being used is normal.

“Early on, in order to pry into the mysteries of magic, I became Thoth’s most devout servant when I was a boy;

“When I became the Archmage, Thoth was fighting against other gods, and I gained his respect with my strength and wisdom, and even became friends with him as equals;

"When I was on par with the gods, he unfortunately died. I first used his legacy to reach the top as the God of Magic, and then resurrected him after becoming the Lord of Order.

"So far, he is equivalent to my subordinate god and archangel, and he governs the pantheon worshiped by the people in the desert.

"Of course, as my best friend, he is a special existence. All members of the pantheon bear his name and follow his orders, and I will not interfere too much."

The Heart of Thoth held by Rorschach has fallen into the hands of the old man. His tone is as usual, but his hand wrapped in golden light touches the heart: "Are you a chess piece? There is no point in exploring the past. My answer is that it is not the case now.

"There is no chess piece that can determine the placement of the chess piece, and there is no chess piece that cannot be accommodated on the chessboard."

Originally, He modeled the so-called system based on Rorschach's memory to facilitate it. Soon Rorschach's development exceeded his expectations. After increasing the level of upgrades, the Lord of Order decided to invest more - first, a bud cut from the Tree of Truth was bound to Rorschach and integrated with the system, and then Give Rorschach the special space left to the Arcane Priory.

The "Clone into God" event is the last test and recruitment. From then on, He no longer directly interfered with Rorschach and allowed him to develop freely.

"A space used by the Senate for meetings?" Rorschach was surprised. More than once, he heard Feuerbach, Carnot and others complain that the Senate had lost its ancient "ancestral meeting room". He had thought more than once The special space that I "picked up" by accident may have been lost by the Senate.

Rorschach also studied the secret contract, but found nothing except a clear pointer to Thoth, and was unable to connect with the junction. He ruled out the truth for a time, and occupied the "Conference Center" with peace of mind and transformed it into a "Magic Information Computing and Storage Center."

Based on the Lord of Order's autobiography, it should be that he obtained the priesthood of Thoth, the God of Magic, and then gained more authority before resurrecting Thoth and returning him to his former friends. The secret deed is indeed as the mages guessed, pointing to a god of magic who never interferes with the caster.

"Exactly." The Lord of Order was expressionless, but his words revealed disappointment: "I have left these mages for hundreds of years, and no one has shown enough wisdom and greed to monopolize it or locate it from the star realm. Conspiracy only through the secret contract passed down from generation to generation in the monastery.

"It's yours now. No one can enter your so-called junction without your Rorschach's consent, nor can they peek into its location.

"But be careful with Gaia. After the Mother Goddess wakes up, she is no longer the same. The tree of law and the junction where it is hidden are the last safe places. These secret places are rare masterpieces in my life."

Dryats has always felt uneasy when the Lord of Order spoke. He was always listening, thinking, and silent.

Rorschach was calm and composed in the face of this Lord God, but to Dryarts, the old man was just an appearance and an incarnation. The pressure he brought to him was more powerful than the supreme heaven itself, like being close to the scorching red sun. In his recollection, the old man ignored the second divine war in an understatement, but Dryats still remembered it.

Even if He doesn't want to take the initiative to recall at this time, the current situation is also a naked explanation of what happened in the past: the original level is supposed to be the place where the gods reveal their essence, but now there is only unusual death and loneliness; the space between the star world and the main plane should be The abode of the gods, the Kingdom of God was shattered into nothing but dust.

He never believed that the Lord of Order was a kind person who gave Luo Xia so many gifts for nothing.

But now Dryats could not speak out. Here is the crown of the Tree of Truth, the throne of the God of All Laws, the Lord of Light and Order, one black and one white, two celestial bodies that each control and symbolize a part of the origin of the world are watching me silently from above.

He didn't know what he could do, so he said nothing and remained silent.

"Okay, the memories are over, let's talk about the current situation." The Lord of Order finally said the key: "In the past, killing other gods was not just my own likes and dislikes. All things will be affected by the negative and positive forces of the world, and gods are not affected either. exception.

"So in the past hundreds of years, I have been fighting against Gaia. If the power cannot be enveloped by Yang, it will be eroded by Him. And the power I carry still has limits, and the Boreas Bear God, Dryats, etc. They can only seal their divine remains, giving Gaia an opportunity.

"But things like this will always happen over time, regardless of whether I interfere to prevent Gaia's followers from performing rituals. For a long time, only I have been able to suppress him in the symbolic world. This is the battle in the highest heaven, and it is getting more intense.

"The usurpation of the Bear God's authority was my mistake. It was the crack that allowed the Mother Goddess to reach reality. It was the beginning, and it meant that he was just one step away from complete recovery.

"I no longer have the extra ability to intervene and redeem my people and my compatriots in the past. My power is no longer enough to separate and descend into the material world. I can only rely on you.

"I?"

The old man held his friend's heart high, and after the power poured in, the glass-like organ of God began to shine again, creating a scene in the dark sun.

At this time, Rorschach and the heart were not out of danger, and strangely, Rorschach's body had been consumed by the black tide, and what remained was the magic circuit in his body.

At this time, his brain and Thoth's heart are in a similar state. The two strange organs are connected by a circuit and exist by the power released by the two.

At this time, Rorschach's "remains" are the battlefield of the Mother Goddess and the Lord of Order. The Mother Goddess has worn away Rorschach's flesh and bones, leaving only the most difficult parts. The circuit plus the brain not only carries the order of Rorschach's other world, but also has the continuous support of Thoth and the power of the Order of Light.

"As you can see, your body has been worn out, leaving only the container of the soul and the container of magic. I need them to release the order of the other world you carry and the little remaining power I have.

"This move can completely wipe out the Black Sun in the material world, and make the Mother Goddess's invasion regress to the level before the disaster, buying more time for the world. By then."

"Enough, what's the point of talking about the future? Do you mean to sacrifice Rorschach?" Dryats couldn't bear it anymore, and finally broke the silence, interrupting the words of the Lord of Order: "It can be done without Rorschach, right? Having Thoth's heart is enough."

"He should have been consumed in the secondary plane, he should have sacrificed his life in the shadow land, he should have accepted my promise to become a god and sacrificed everything. Today's step has far exceeded my expectations and his predetermined destiny, but it does not mean that my gift has no price. "

After speaking, the Lord of Order activated Thoth's heart, and the mighty power was like a flood, like thunder, and like the radiation of the scorching sun, rushing to the interior of the black sun. The last scene was a pure white eruption in the vortex of disorder, drowning the last remaining part of Rorschach in the real world.

"Just now I said I was not a pawn, but now I have become a prop without the right to choose." Rorschach saw himself exploded and smiled bitterly: "You just told us so much, are you waiting for the black sun to destroy my physical body, leaving me with no way out?"

"Exactly." The old man generously admitted this: "Without the physical body, your only connection with reality is this." The Lord of Order raised the shining heart: "And it is in my hand. Otherwise, just like the border, you can let the soul return, I want to make sure you can't act like this.

"At the same time, it also involved the attention of the Mother Goddess, so that Her will and power are more targeted at the inside of the Black Sun, rather than spreading to the outside.

"Fortunately, everything went well, and I successfully detonated you and the Mother Goddess's incarnation in the world."

This paralyzed old Deng still had no expression, with a sacred, solemn and noble face, but it can be vaguely heard from his words that He was in a good mood:

"I would like to say a few more words about the metaphor of chess pieces and chess players.

"After peeking into your original world, I got a good inspiration: in addition to seeking victory in the chess game, you can also use special means to win outside the board."

He just said that Rorschach is not a chess piece, and never said that Rorschach cannot be a chessboard that smashes the opponent.

The "chessboard" is of good quality, allowing the Lord of Order to win like a "Han chess master".

Under the gaze of countless creatures, cracks appeared in the Black Sun, and pale light shot out from it, and finally disappeared in the night. The white light did not dissipate, but gradually turned into a warm yellowish color.

It was the reassuring daylight, the day had dawned.
