Skilled Pikemen Don't Leash

"This matter is a bit complicated, let's talk slowly on the way back." Yi Guang naturally understood Gao Wen's thoughts now, so he waved his hand and said to Gao Wen, "Now this desert is destroyed by Pharaoh Ozymandi. The death of Yas began to produce a violent correction reaction, although you are not within the range of the desert, you should not be affected, but just in case, it is better for us to leave this place as soon as possible."

"Uh, well...you're right, we have to leave here first." Gawain nodded, "But, does this thing also go with us?"

"For the time being, the owner of that puppet has some grievances with me. He is looking for me for something." Yi Guang said simply, "Before the matter is resolved, he decided to act with me temporarily. Therefore, he will also Come back to the 'Holy Capital' with us, and of course Master Sanzang will do the same."

Yi Guang's explanation was very simple, and he didn't want to waste too much time at this time.After all, as he said, the instability of this desert is too high. Although he himself is not afraid at all, he doesn't want to cause problems for Gao Wen or others.

As for the owner of the "Sphinx", it naturally refers to Tan Lidou who is still in charge of driving inside the puppet of the "Sphinx".Just as Yi Guang thought, this guy escaped from Caster's "God's Domain" by some means, and rescued Master Sanzang and Sherlock Holmes captured by Caster from Yi Guang and Ozymandias. Returned his "Sphinx" puppet.After Ozymandias died, Yi Guang picked up the "Holy Grail" and was thinking about how to escape from the storm caused by the correction force in the desert, when he heard a sound accompanied by the sound of metal friction.

"Hey! Gunner, do you want a ride?"

Just like that, Yi Guang got into Tan Lidou's car and traveled with Tan Lidou, Master Sanzang and Holmes.In the process of escaping from the desert, Tan Lidou made his request to Yi Guang.

"Take me to see Musashi..."

"What?" Yi Guang heard Tan Lidou's words, and glanced at him slightly, "What do you want to see her for?"

"Musashi" is a pseudonym that the system gave itself incidentally when it imitated the player character in the image of "Heroic Spirit Miyamoto Musashi" in the world of "Sword Art Online". Tan Rito's understanding of the system is also limited to this pseudonym.Therefore, when he said these words, Yi Guang naturally thought of the system.

"I have something to ask her, it's very important." Tan Lidou's voice didn't have the usual kind of banter and madness, but the seriousness made people feel a little uncomfortable, "I know, the previous incident made you guard against me , you will never let me see her easily again, will you?"

"It's good that you know, I can't maintain a sense of trust in you, even if you just helped me." Yi Guang's seriousness flashed a gleam, "Because of your actions, she is still in a similar coma. In 'sleep', even if I agree to let you meet, you will not be able to communicate with her."

"It doesn't matter, I can wait." Tan Lidou said indifferently, "Anyway, I have no place to go now, and I don't care about the time. I can wait for her to wake up. Of course, don't think too bad of me , at least for now...you and I don't have any conflicts in position. If you need help, I don't mind using my 'divine talent' to help you in exchange for your trust."

Faced with Tan Lidou's proposal, Yi Guang was quite moved.Compared with the current team battle, and the plot mission still takes such a big thing as "saving the world" as the main line.Even if Yi Guang thinks he is in the dominant position now, he will never lack strength and helpers. At the same time, accidents and divine developments will never know when they will happen.Therefore, if Tan Lidou can join, it will undoubtedly add a layer of insurance for Yi Guang's mission.

What's more, this guy is also an expert in "digitalization of the soul". The technology that Yi Guang gave to the Lion King to transform the "Holy Lance" was written by this guy.May I ask, in terms of technical debugging, is there anyone who has more say than the founder of this technology?

Therefore, after thinking briefly and weighing the pros and cons, Yi Guang agreed to Tan Lidou's request.Tan Lidou's "Sphinx" led Master Sanzang and Holmes, together with Yi Guang and Gao Wen's troops, embarked on the road to the "Holy Capital".

On the way, Gao Wen sent a letter to the "Holy Capital" in advance, reporting the great victory in the desert.At the same time, Yi Guang also introduced Gao Wen, Tan Lidou, and Holmes to each other, and frankly informed the Lion King's plan.Although Master Sanzang and Sherlock Holmes both expressed their opposition to this plan, under the persuasion of Yi Guang and Tan Lidou, they stabilized for the time being.

"The goddess in that castle? She looks like a very nice guy..." Tan Lidou had a very high evaluation of the Lion King, "Not bound by the so-called 'morality', but proceeding from the final result and the overall , Sure enough, this is the perspective that a god should have!"

"But after all, it was because of helplessness. If possible, everyone certainly hopes for a better result." Yi Guang responded to Tan Lidou in this way, "This is why I asked you to meet the Lion King. After all, in the "soul In terms of digitization, you are the expert, if you can use your technology, everyone will be..."

"Spearman, you can finally understand me!" Before Yi Guang finished speaking, Tan Lidou said happily, "I said long ago that you would do the same thing as me sooner or later. It came so fast."

"That's the worst strategy to avoid extinction. If human history can't be saved, then let's keep the fire of civilization as much as possible." Yi Guang snorted coldly, and then he asked what he had always wanted to ask, "By the way, why do you keep wearing this armor? I remember that it should only be equipped for combat, right? No one here will fight you."

"The poor technology of changing the subject..." Tan Lidou sneered, but he still answered Yi Guang's question, "It's not that I have been equipped with this armor all the time, but that I am now, 'only' this armor is left." Vice armor. That's why I'm going to see Musashi, I hope to find a solution to this problem."

"Only... the armor?" Yi Guang was taken aback for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"Literally, I have completely lost... my body."

Chapter 557 "God" and "Hero"

"Literally, I have completely lost... my body."

Tan Lidou's voice sounded erratic and calm as always, just like when he didn't reveal his crazy essence and talked about serious matters.While Yi Guang was a little surprised by the news in his heart, he was also a little surprised by Tan Lidou's calmness. There was almost no abnormality in his voice, and there was no clue in his behavior after the meeting.However, since he wants to find the system, it means that his heart is not as calm as he appears.

"Lost my body?" After calming down a little, Yi Guang frowned slightly, "Is this... is the price you paid?"

Regarding Tan Lidou's current state, although Yi Guang was a little surprised, he wasn't too surprised.Before the system fell into a deep sleep, he briefly told Yi Guang what happened to her and Tan Lidou in the moments before the big explosion, so he knew the cause and effect of this even better than Tan Lidou himself.

"In fact, it is the same as explained in Cthulhu stories like "Curse of Blood". As a lower existence on the 'ladder of life', prying into the knowledge of the superior will inevitably pay a price. Just as animals cannot understand human beings Like knowledge, human beings cannot directly understand the wisdom of superiors in one step. Humans' incompletely evolved brains and bodies cannot bear the truth of direct communication with the source. It's just that compared with animals without wisdom at all, human beings as intelligent life Possess the ability to 'learn', but even if it is possible to acquire the knowledge of superiors through learning, there must be a gradual process." The system said at the time, "This is exactly what we do, you 'system hosts' Whether it's the group of people in the "Lord God Space", you are actually learning the most basic knowledge, strengthening your soul, and strengthening your body, in order to reach the level where you can truly understand these wisdoms. This is the so-called "evolution" '. Of course, the current you still haven't reached the point where you can touch this level, and of course Tan Lidou hasn't either."

"So, he obtained knowledge that he shouldn't have before? So, he paid the price?" After systematic explanation, Yi Guang generally understood what happened to Tan Lidou at the end, and then he asked the system with some concern, " Then, your body..."

"My body itself is simulated, it doesn't matter if it is blown up, but that lunatic directly cracked my 'outer simulation data' and invaded my 'core', part of my data was damaged by this violent cracking So I have to repair myself, I’m going to sleep for a while, but don’t worry about it.” Regarding my state, the system at the time said it didn’t matter. “As for Tan Lidou, when he invaded my ‘core’, he looked directly The code written by the "creator" is the highest "mantra" of the entire multiverse. Even if the life that is not strong enough is only read, it will be assimilated at that moment, whether it is soul or body, it will be in that knowledge Under the action of the law of implication, it is decomposed into the most basic data and becomes my nutrient. Even if I can resist this kind of assimilation, then it will be completely erased from the concept of "something"... However, if the head and heart What is necessary is completely erased and cannot be restored by any means, so what is the difference between death and death?"

Because of the inference of the system at the time, Yi Guang always thought that Tan Lidou should be dead. After all, even the "A+ level reincarnation" who has the ability to be almost immortal in "Battle Continuation" will be killed by Anubi. Stuck out of his heart and plunged into the possibility of death.Although Tan Lidou is stronger than Yi Guang, there is no "quality" difference between them. Without such important parts as the head and heart, he would still die——that's what Yi Guang and the system thought at the time , It's just that the final result was beyond everyone's expectations. This guy, after going through that kind of thing, can still survive.But if you think about it carefully, when Tan Lidou was heartbroken by Anubis in Caster's "God's Domain", what appeared on his chest was just a hollow hole.In connection with his speech and systematic discussion just now, Yi Guang can basically judge his current state.

The current Tan Lidou is not so much a human being or a god, but an armor with soul, wisdom, and powerful strength.His body has been conceptually completely erased by the law from the source, and his soul is trapped in the armor that preserves most of his strength. Therefore, it is not that he does not disarm the armor, but that he has already Become part of this armor.This is probably why he wanted to meet the system, he wanted to find a way to transform himself back into human form.But unfortunately, this kind of thing is completely impossible to do.

"So, even if you look for her, it's useless. Your body has been 'erased' by that 'taboo' knowledge. From the perspective of time and space, it's completely 'erased'." Considering Tan Lidou's character, Yi Guang told him all the truth without giving him any hope.Because he knows that this man has never believed in the so-called "hope", he only believes in his own "talent". It has been a part of this armor from the very beginning, so any power of 'restoration' and 'reversal of time' is impossible to turn you back. This is the horror of the root law, for those of us who have not yet reached that height , just 'seeing' will be met with a 'bounce' from that knowledge."

Hearing this news, Tan Lidou's body stiffened obviously, but he quickly recovered his relaxed posture.Then he shook his head as if he didn't care, and a voice came from under the armor mask.

"That's it, the expected result. But it doesn't matter, the talents of gods will not be bound by the body! My thoughts are still there, my talents are still there, and my data are still there..." Tan Lidou briefly After the loss, he once again issued the iconic arrogant declaration, "Nothing has changed, and I have gained new power, and I am not at a loss."

"What are you going to do again?"

Listening to Tan Lidou's words, Yi Guang instinctively cast suspicious and wary eyes on this guy.In "Sword Art Online" for more than two years, fighting each other's wits and courage, Yi Guang has long been familiar with the nature of this guy.This person's nature may not be so bad, but he doesn't have any moral concepts and awe in his heart, but he also has a strong curiosity and genius wisdom-reasonably, this combination is simply a disaster, okay?Because you will never know where the upper limit of this guy's ability is, nor where the lower limit of his morality is, let alone what kind of explosive results the superposition of the two will produce.

Just in a low-end pure technological world like "Sword Art Online", he can create a bunch of bugsters and superpower players, almost completely destroying the order of the entire world and the theoretical foundation of technology.In order to solve the historical problems he caused, Hiko, Kirito and his wife, as well as Yui, who is the new "god" of the game time, spent a long time wiping this guy's ass.Around the game world and Tan Lidou's legacy, the whole world has almost fallen into madness, and the cloud of war once almost covered the whole world.Until Yi Guang left that world, there was still a lot of finishing work going on, and even if the outbreak of the all-out war was finally successfully prevented, that world would experience a complete reshuffle of order and a lot of proxy wars .

And the culprit of all this is this guy sitting opposite Yi Guang.Not only that, this guy also made a very disturbing speech, which made Yi Guang's eyes sharpen suddenly.

"Don't look at me that way, I know what you're thinking... Don't worry, after two failures, I'm not interested in human beings anymore. Since they can't get rid of the shackles of morality, they can't escape Not worthy of my talent, I can't bring them evolution, because they don't want to." Facing Yi Guang's gaze, Tan Lidou waved his hand, "And no matter what era or world, there will always be a group of Like you, you have abilities and talents beyond ordinary people, but like those ordinary people, or even more moral guys than them, keep stopping me. This is probably the so-called "will of the world", maybe my talents even Not recognized by the world."

"It's not the will of the world, it's the will of human beings themselves. It is because of the existence of this kind of thing that human society can maintain order. Although your behavior is well-intentioned, it is destroying the order of human society. There will be a backlash." Yi Guang disagreed with Tan Lidou's statement, so he said slowly, "Whether it is law or morality, although these orders are imposed on everyone by others, but The reason why it can be maintained is because they ensure the stability of the vast majority of people, so that the history of mankind can continue. Once the order completely collapses, all people who rely on this order will inevitably suffer losses to varying degrees .This is the reason for your failure. Your behavior is against the entire "human" group, and your opponent is an intelligent group with 70 billion individuals. If it can breed a "god" like you, it can also Breeding a 'hero' similar to it, you are only one person after all, but behind the 'hero' is an entire group... Your failure is reasonable."

"Like you? And my old friends..." Tan Lidou muttered noncommittally, and then changed the subject, "Forget it, let's change the subject, why did I appear in this world? And suddenly Was transferred to your side?"

"Huh? You ask me, who should I ask? I just wanted to ask you, why did you appear here..." Yi Guang frowned, "How did you come to this world?"

"I don't know, that's why I want to see Musashi. Apart from physical matters, I have a lot of questions to ask." Tan Lidou shook his head, "There are too many secrets about that woman."

"However, there are some things that you shouldn't be looking for..." Yi Guang also sighed, "Otherwise you wouldn't have become like this."

"If I shrink back because of something like this, I'm not worthy of calling myself a god!" Tan Lidou said not to be outdone, "If I do it again, I will still choose to do this."

Chapter 558 The Bound Gold

"here it is……"

When Fujimaru Tachika came back to his senses, he was already standing in a vast world.

There is no up, down, left, or right in this world, and there is nothingness in all directions. There is only endless gray as the background tone of the whole world. drifting.These runes are like bubbles in the air blown up by soapy water, varying in size and size, constantly gathering and dispersing as they float.As far as Fujimaru Tachika could see, some runes could be seen disappearing in the gray fog at any time, and another batch of runes continued to appear from the gray fog.The whole world, against the background of this gray void, and the runes that are constantly appearing and disappearing, has become extremely weird.

Even, facing this void world full of strange runes, Fujimaru Tatsuka felt an inexplicable sense of fear in his heart.

But Fujimaru Tachika is not an ordinary person, although the development of the matter is a bit sudden and inexplicably weird.But as the last master of human beings, Fujimaru Tachika has encountered more dangers and extreme situations than ordinary people have seen in this life, and all kinds of strange and supernatural events are not rare at all-such as the present This kind of situation of "suddenly coming to a strange place while sleeping and dreaming", he has encountered it seven or eight times, if not ten times.

So after his initial doubts and panic, he quickly calmed down.No other reason, just used to it.

"Is this... the Real Demon Realm?"

After observing here for a period of time, Fujimaru Tateka judged the truth of this world with some doubts.Vaguely, he felt that the environment here was similar to the scene that appeared in his heart when he signed a contract with "Zarubah" and put on the ring, so he speculated that this place should be the so-called "True Demon Realm" power. The projection in his spiritual world.Or in other words, here is Fujimaru Tatsuka's inner world as "Knight of the Lord of the Rings".

It has to be said that as a "Knight of the Lord of the Rings" who became a monk on the way, Fujimaru Tachika did a good job in theoretical homework, which made him not completely confused after encountering the current situation. At least, he is very He quickly determined his situation.

"However, in the current situation, even knowing where I am is meaningless." After confirming her situation, Fujimaru Tatsuka discovered a more fucking fact, "How should I get out? Here are a few questions There are no roads...Zarubah? Zarubah?"

After realizing that this is his inner world and related to the power of the "Lord of the Rings", Tatsuka Fujimaru naturally began to call his "magic wheel" elf "Zaruba".But what is very unusual is that after Fujimaru Tachika called for many times, the "Magic Wheel" elf projected by a powerful intelligent creature said to be the "True Demon Realm" still disappeared.

"What's going on here? Unable to contact 'Zaruba'?" Fujimaru Tachika frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, "When you meet the devil? I invaded?"

Fujimaru Tachika soon realized that there might be some problems in her spiritual world.Quickly recalling the knowledge imparted to him by "Zarubah", he judged himself that he might have been drawn out of his "yin self" by the power of "Knight of the Ring", which is the so-called "dark side of human nature".That is the root of the formation of the "True Devil World", and it is also something that every "Knight of the Ring" and "Mage of the Lord of the Rings" who come into contact with the "True Devil World" must always be on guard.In the inheritance of the two, it is the foundation of the foundation to eliminate the "yin self" through asceticism and prevent the power of the "true demon world" from harming oneself, but Fujimaru Tachika himself has not experienced systematic basic practice , so there are deficiencies in spiritual practice.On the spiritual level, he is still an "ordinary person". He has the same emotions and desires as normal people, so he also has the possibility of being eroded by the "yin self".

This is the so-called "time of encountering demons", when the inner "yin self" is blazing, manifested and formed by the power of "true demon world", and then traps one's "self" consciousness into this world.If he can't get out of the current situation, he will be swallowed by the breath of "Yin Self" and "True Demon Realm" in this void, and then "Yin Self" will occupy his body in reality, and the two will become one. "Hora".

"No, if the 'Knight of the Ring' is occupied by the 'Yin Me', it should become a more terrifying 'Dark Knight' than the ordinary 'Hora', right?"

Relying on the knowledge he had just learned a few days ago, Fujimaru Tateka felt that he had understood the current situation, so he pulled out his magic sword from his waist, and looked at the surrounding environment vigilantly.It has to be said that although it has not been long since he obtained this power, a subtle change has taken place in Fujimaru Tatsuka's mentality.In times of crisis, the "master" who had to rely on his servants became a "warrior" who could act alone, which subconsciously changed his behavior.At least, the former Fujimaru Tachika would never look at the surrounding world with such sharp eyes.

"Uh... there seems to be nothing."

Fujimaru Tachika cautiously moved forward in this gray mist-like void, but did not encounter the monster formed by the so-called "yin self".This made him a little puzzled, but at the same time his mood relaxed slightly.

Maybe things weren't as bad as he thought.

"what……"

Fujimaru Tatsuka was thinking this, when suddenly the world changed, and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.At the same time, some inexplicable palpitations occupied his mind in an instant.

Danger!Danger!Danger!

At this moment, the originally slightly relaxed mind was once again dominated by some inexplicable emotion and became tense.Under the influence of this emotion, Fujimaru Tatsuka began to look at the world with vigilant eyes again, but found that the world had completely changed its appearance without knowing when.

"Then... what?"

The gray void, which was originally indistinguishable from top to bottom, left to right, turned into a piece of pitch black, and the runes that came and went, gathered and scattered in the gray world, turned into an even weirder white at the same time.The black world, the white runes, and the two extreme colors form an extremely strong contrast in this new inner world, which is so dazzling.The drastic change in the environment made Fujimaru Tatsuka feel a little dazzled for a while.

But soon Fujimaru Tachika's attention was attracted by another thing. Compared with it, the slight discomfort of the eyes was nothing at this time.

It was a ray of light that suddenly appeared in this boundless darkness.Like a lighthouse, no matter how far away it is, it can attract ships under the night.As for Fujimaru Tachika, he is now the ship sailing under the night sky. With curiosity and surprise, he headed towards the direction of that ray of light.

After all, he had to find a way to get out, and the restoration of the sixth singularity hadn't been completed yet.The enemy is unexpectedly strong, but his own combat effectiveness has been severely compromised. As the master, he has a heavy burden.So he can't stop because of fear or whatever, he has to do his job.As for the reason... just the word "survive" is enough, if it is not enough, then add the expectations of those heroic spirits to themselves.Although no one among them has ever said it directly, Fujimaru Tachika is not a fool. Even the bad-toned King Gilgamesh, Fujimaru Tachika understands his attitude towards him.

So I must move forward, even if the front is hell, or a god with malicious intentions, because what I bear is not a person's hope.Every time a singularity is repaired, every time a heroic spirit returns to the Hall of Valor during the battle, it means that the burden is added to Fujimaru Tateka.

Then, Fujimaru Tachika stood in front of that thing, the shadow that radiated golden light in the darkness.

"This is... the armor of Garou?" Fujimaru Tachika looked at the thing in the golden light, showing an expression of extreme astonishment, but he still couldn't believe it, "No, no, this thing is... of?!"

That's right, what appeared in front of Fujimaru Tachika was an existence very similar to Garo's golden armor.But it's just a bit similar. The other party is not so much a "golden knight armor" worn by people, but a giant wolf wrapped and armed with a layer of similar style of golden armor.That strong and slender figure, those strong and prostrate limbs, undoubtedly belonged to a wolf.

A giant golden wolf with the appearance of an armor... just facing Fujimaru Tachika from afar.Around it, several chains also made of gold bound the giant wolf's body and limbs from all directions, forcing it to maintain a prostrate posture.

"Roar……"

As if sensing Fujimaru Tachika's approach, the wolf head, which was very similar to the armored helmet of "Garon" but much larger, suddenly turned in the direction of Fujimaru Tachika.At the same time, a beast-like growl also came from the wolf's mouth, making this metallic golden wolf look more like a real wolf.

"Uh...you are..."

At the moment when the giant wolf faced him, Fujimaru Tachika immediately felt a certain sense of great oppression, his spirit began to be in a trance again, the giant wolf in front of him seemed to become unreal, and his body began to shake violently for no reason.And the giant wolf opposite him seemed to want to stand up on its hind legs, but the moment it just moved, the chains on its body began to flash with strange light.The giant wolf roared angrily, as if full of resentment and resentment, but its body was bound and contracted by the chains and had to continue crawling downward.It was as if there was some kind of powerful force above the chains, forcibly suppressing it.

At the same time, Fujimaru Tachika was also in a constant trance and dizziness, and finally lost consciousness, and once again fell into darkness before his eyes.Before his consciousness completely disappeared, he seemed to hear a sentence vaguely.

"We will meet again..."

Chapter 559 Her Present, Your Future

"Senior, senior..."

The crisp voice entered the ears, and the consciousness gradually became clear again in Fujimaru Tatsuka's mind.When he opened his eyes, he could vaguely see a girl with pale pink hair calling to him in a worried tone.

"Matthew..." He responded to the girl's name, expressing that he was fine, "My head hurts..."

"That's great, senior, you're finally awake."

Seeing Fujimaru Tachika waking up, Mash also showed a relieved expression.This somewhat made Fujimaru Tachika feel a little strange, feeling that he should have just slept, but what happened to the worried look on Matthew's face?

He turned his head subconsciously, but found that Mash was not the only one in front of him.Da Vinci, Gilgamesh, Arash, Tranquility, and Tawara Fujita... almost everyone is here, and they also look at themselves with worried expressions similar to Mash.

After the battle with the Lion King, these are the few remaining heroic spirits in the alliance between Chaldea and the "People of the Mountain".Now, they are all gathered here, which makes Fujimaru Tatsuka instinctively feel that something is wrong—why does it feel like something is wrong?

So he asked in a doubtful voice: "You... What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
