Traveling is to conquer the world

Antinomie tried to attack a few more times, but without exception, Igris avoided them with ease. Before the thrown holy spear touched her, the sneering witch It had already turned into a pool of lifeless blood and flowed away, and it was only after the holy spear that could not find the target returned without success that it regrouped and turned into a human form.

The power of the holy tome, which fiddles with the true and the false, is indeed quite powerful. Even a holy spear of the same level cannot attack Iglise, who has become 'non-existent' under the blessing of the holy tome.But the favor of the holy scriptures that the witch received seemed to be only reflected in her escape, and she had no reliable means of attack. The ordinary magic was burned by the golden flames on the holy spear before she got close.

Although those incongruous tentacle attacks couldn't get close to Antinomie's body at all, Antinomie also didn't have any effective attack methods against the witch.

After the tentacles released by Iglis were burned to ashes again, Antinomie resolutely put away his spear and took a step back. While drawing complicated patterns in the air with his left hand, he watched the scene for a long time. Bai Lan said, "Bai Lan, hold her back for a while."

Bai Lan who suddenly lay down on the gun: ...

Antinomie's movements in the air were drawn very quickly, and every time he swiped his finger, a light gray mark would be left, and the sky was full of afterimages of his movements.Just when everyone else thought he was going to read the note and make an earth-shattering big move, Antinomie finally drew a door-shaped magic circle, took the holy spear as the key, inserted it into the door, and twisted it open. A door that suddenly shone with golden light.

The dazzling brilliance engulfed Antinomie in front of the door, and even the egg mushrooms standing next to him were drawn into the radiant door by the golden light. The intense light filled the entire space, making everyone involuntarily blocked his eyes.When the afterglow of the light faded away, Bailan and Iglise were left speechless in the castle hall that was affected by the fight and became traumatized.

After being sold, Bai Lan squeezed out a smile, and greeted the witch whose face finally stayed on the smile several times: "Hey, Mrs. Iglise, I suddenly feel that it is more promising to work with you... Let's do it as before. How did nothing happen?"

On the other hand, Loki, who was involved in the gate of light together, was stunned for a moment and then immediately screamed, looked at Antinomie in disbelief and asked: "Are you running away?! You are running away?" Already!"

"What is running away? This is called a strategic retreat." Antinomie said without changing his expression, "Iglis can use the power of the scriptures to hide herself, and there will be no result if she continues to stand still."

Loki twitched the corner of his mouth, "...what's the difference between this and running away!"

"There's a big difference." Antinomie said sternly, "Running is the weaker side's choice to give up fighting because they know they can't fight, and my current behavior should be called letting her go..."

"Speak as if you could beat her!"

Antinomie stared back at the egg that had been complaining about it since just now, and wondered: "When did you have the illusion that I couldn't beat her? I have always used simple things like throwing or stabbing." The way of attack, don't you think this is my full strength? If you fight seriously... Well, maybe I can kill her with only three points of strength."

"...Damn it, why are you running away like this!" Loki, who finally found out that Antinomie is actually a snake spirit, said angrily, "Do you know that running away from battle can deduct your fashion value to negative? ! At this time, you have to slam the other side in seconds and then say 'you fell down before I exerted any strength' to be cool, you know!"

"Fashionable what the hell is that..."

Antinomie, who was so annoyed by Loki's yelling, finally told the truth, "Iglis is only one of the three clones that split, and if she was to waste nearly a third of her strength, So in the end, even if you can meet the guy whose name you can't name, it won't stop him... So, if you can get rid of Igris by a trick, there's no need to fight her hard."

"Don't you think it's strange? Iglise, who rarely appears in person even to destroy the world, actually appeared in front of us in a grand manner." Antinomie said, "She was very cautious before and did not want to take any risks. , but just now she appeared as if she was sure that no one could defeat her, which made me wonder whether that 'Iglis' is really Iglis."

Loki finally understood what Antinomie meant, and asked hesitantly, "You mean...you suspect that she is a fake? And the real Iglise is still hidden somewhere else?"

"It's just a guess. Originally, the eye of Runas could tell the truth from the fake at a glance, but the eye of Runas happened to be blocked by the witch's blood mist in advance and couldn't be used. This is not at all accidental." 'Just in time' aggravates my suspicions. I don't want to do such a thing of empty joy after working so hard to kill it but find it is a fake."

Antinomie rested her chin and muttered, "Iglise seldom shows up. Besides she likes to hide behind the scenes and play tricks, does it mean that her real body is actually very fragile and can be easily killed? Or, Her real body is actually that castle, so she can't move easily?"

Loki said in horror: "Hey, this joke is not funny at all! And it has nothing to do with you running away!"

"I've said that it's not running away, and it's not necessarily a joke. Maybe she is actually a man who is called a 'witch'." Antinomie said in a joking tone, "As for what Whether it is true or not, I will know soon. If I am not sure, I have to ask the people above me to help."

Loki was speechless: "...is there someone on your head again?"

Antinomie replied with a very sincere expression: "Yes, there are people above me. If the bargaining is successful, maybe there is no need to entangle with these three clones, and you can directly see the owner of the holy book."

On the other side, in the Neo laboratory in the basement of Mirufiore's headquarters in the tutor's future world, a carrot named Blancheso was stuffed into the canned fruit soaked in Tsunayoshi Sawada.

The cat-headed man in charge of conveying the witch's order patted Irijiang Zhengyi on the shoulder, and said to him earnestly, "Young man, do your job well. The organization is optimistic about you to let you take on such an important task. Don't let the organization down." What is expected of you."

Irie Masaichi looked at the appointment letter in his hand asking him to 'strictly monitor Bai Lan and Sawada Tsunayoshi to prevent them from escaping', with a bitter expression on his face, and felt that his twitching stomach became more painful...

-

The Journey of Light finally came to an end. Antinomie and Loki landed in the empty and cold gray-white palace. Loki bouncing around looked at the surrounding environment. After looking at it for a while, he asked: "This is the one above you." where people live?"

"Yes," Antinomie nodded, "This is the unsinkable moon, the place where all the light is born, and it is also the place where all the darkness gathers after the light is extinguished."

Loki nodded half-understood, then looked at the holy gun in Antinomie's hand that had been quiet for a long time and asked in a low voice, "Why did that rabies suddenly become so quiet? Is there any cure for rabies here?" The miraculous effect? ​​Uhhhhh, it's so interesting to see his gentle face!"

"You are also a very interesting little thing to be able to jump around without awe in my domain."

The woman's voice seemed to come from the sky, and seemed to sound from all directions at the same time, so abrupt that it shocked Loki.A golden light group suddenly appeared in front of Antinomie and Loki, as bright as if the light from all over the world gathered in it at the same time, but it was unexpectedly not dazzling, it would only make people feel Unparalleled brightness and warmth.

The tall woman who couldn't see her face clearly and was covered in golden light armor stood in front of the light group, just in front of Antinomie's line of sight.No one knows when she appeared there, and the woman who merged with the radiance seemed to have been standing here looking at the world since the beginning of the world.

Loki was overwhelmed by the woman's aura. Even though the other party didn't say anything, the majesty that was naturally revealed still made him speechless and dared not do anything superfluous until Antinomie showed some respect. After calling his name without any meaning, Loki finally came back to his senses with an empty head.

"Let me meet that guy, Halakti."

Hearing Antinomie directly yell out the woman's name, Loki, who had just been evaluated as 'without awe', almost didn't kneel down to this ancestor, and was so frightened that his little heart was beating fast. Come out, I am afraid that if the woman is unhappy, she will be implicated along with herself.

But fortunately, the woman who is one of the creators of the World Tree doesn't seem to care about this little offense, or in other words, in the mood of the Creator of Light, there is no such petty option at all.The woman who was so dignified and awe-inspiring that people couldn't help but retreat from peeping, chuckled, and said in a beautiful voice reminiscent of Dujuan's: "Odin, cheating is not allowed. That funny little egg over there I’ve already told you how to clear the level, so you can’t act like a baby and ask me to cheat.”

Associating the expressionless Antinomie with the adjective coquettish, Loki somehow felt a chill welling up in his heart. What a terrible situation to act like a baby with Mama-san.

"You promised me that after playing Odin to maintain the normal operation of the Nordic world, you can unconditionally fulfill one of my requirements as a reward." Antinomie looked at Halakti without squinting, "Now, I want to use this Wish, let me meet the master of the scripture."

Halakti did not directly answer whether he agreed or not, but corrected: "I have already said that you are not playing Odin, you are Odin himself. You, who were born in response to Odin's accidental fall, are originally Odin's continuation and Newborn, that’s why I guided you back to the Nordic world to maintain the normal operation of the Nordic world.”

"...That's not the point." Antinomie was silent for a while, "You promised to fulfill one of my requests, now it's your turn to fulfill your promise."

Halakti laughed lightly, and the light cluster behind him split into a small piece of golden light and flew to the top of Antinomie's head, as if rubbing the head of an awkward child, "No, I know everything you think. Therefore, I will not provide you with any help, and you can only rely on yourself if you want to see Alpha Gelo to dissuade him from his actions."

Antinomie asked back, "Are you going to break your promise?"

"It's not because I broke my promise to get fat, but I have an agreement with Fizelinu beforehand, so I don't want to interfere with his actions." Halakti explained, "Similar to you who act on my will, Alpha Gero is also Fizelinu's. Therefore, he can fully exert the destiny power of Fizelinu's scripture. The path of destruction he chooses is also the script that Fizelinu is happy to see. I promised not to disturb Fizelinu's view. Drama, so it will not prevent Alpha Gelo's actions."

The Creator God of Light looked at the silent Antinomie, and said with relief: "Besides, I can satisfy any request. Whether you want to return to the world when you were born, or want to change the world you passed through A broken ending to a happy ending...I can make it happen."

Antinomie raised his head, looked at Harakti firmly, and asked, "What if I insist on this wish and never change it? You promised to grant me one wish unconditionally, and you promised not to interfere with what he did." Why... when your two promises contradict each other, how would the great creator god choose?"

Loki really didn't expect that Antinomie would have such a tit-for-tat attitude in front of Halakti. While sweating for him, he couldn't help but regret it. If he knew that this guy died in front of the founder-level boss It was done so happily, he packed up his things and ran away long ago, okay?

"...You really are an embarrassing little villain." Harakti sighed, and the light behind him dimmed a little, "If I insist, I will not ignore your wishes... But, why insist? So far? It is clear that I have been wandering for a long time in order to return to the place where I was born and return to an ordinary life, so what is the reason for wading into the muddy water again?"

"Some things always need to be done by people, even if you don't feel so happy when you look back. As long as the blood flowing in the body is not completely cold, there will always be times when you are driven by the blood to stand up. This is not only the bad root of human beings , but also to be proud of.”

Antinomie looked at Halakti, and asked a little provocatively: "I just don't know, back then you tried your best to prevent a small Nordic world from collapsing, why now you are indifferent to the destruction of countless worlds that are preparing for it? "

"..."

Halakti closed his eyes, and replied after a long time: "Because I fell into confusion, not knowing whether my previous actions were correct. I fell into doubts about myself, whether you are worth saving, and whether the world should continue to exist. "

Facing Antinomie's shocked eyes, Halakti finally told the truth about whether the World Tree will continue to exist, "Odin, you once asked, the three of us who created the World Tree together, why I'm the only one left to guard the World Tree... Now, it doesn't matter if I let you understand."

"My unsinkable moon is a palace floating outside the World Tree. Here, you can also clearly see the appearance of the World Tree." When Harakti's voice fell, the gray and white palace walls all changed. It became transparent, allowing Antinomie to see the scene outside the palace——

It was a vast expanse of emerald green.

That is the World Tree, the foundation of all worlds.

In a sea of ​​green where it is impossible to tell where every leaf is, there are countless worlds beyond count.

Every space is filled with green. There are no branches, no trunks, and Antinomie can't see where the world 'tree' is at all in the sight that is blocked by green leaves.

Halakti caused the unsinkable moon to spin around the huge World Tree quickly. Antinomie, who was in the palace, did not feel the discomfort of the spinning world, but was shocked by the size of the World Tree, because the World Tree Shocked by the prosperity, fell into a long wordless silence.

Where is the world tree... This is simply the world Ye Hai!

"Birth and death are relative concepts. When one leaf grows, the other dies, and when one branch grows, the other dies. This is the way the world tree operates at the beginning." Harak said, "However, the joy of being born Human beings fear and loathe destruction, and they will always try their best to escape from the fate of destruction.”

"...Is it wrong not to want to die?" Antinomie retorted.

"It's not wrong, so I pity their useless efforts and help them avoid the end of extinction." Halakti said, "It's not human beings who are wrong, but I who are wrong. I, who destroyed the normal operation of the World Tree because of my soft heart , made an indelible mistake."

"Human beings have found a way to continue the life of the world. As long as they defeat the 'villains' born to destroy the fate, then their world can continue again... The protagonist that the glory is looking at appears, even if no one's help is needed, The world itself can also save itself from destruction, and everything is developing towards greater prosperity..."

"However, all of this is a development at the cost of continuously squeezing the World Tree. From the first day when the balance was broken, Fizelinu has already issued the assertion that this is a failed creation, and retreated to the Great Library I no longer interfere with the operation of the World Tree. I don’t want to admit my mistakes and failures, and continue to maintain the balance that is about to collapse until the World Tree gets a new source of nutrient supply, which is enough to maintain the insatiable plunder of the leaves. "

Halakti looked at Antinomie and said, "You once asked, among the creators of the World Tree, who is there besides me and Fizelinu... the one who didn't even leave his name The mother of life is here."

"Here is the root of the World Tree." Halakti pointed to the same place outside the palace where the branches were full of green leaves and could not be seen as the root. "After the balance was broken, my colleague Yemila and the World Tree Its roots merged into one and fell into a deep sleep, supplying the world tree with the source of life, and continuing to maintain the dream of false prosperity."

"However, the speed at which the leaves grow wildly is beyond my expectation. Needless to say, you should also see that the world tree at this time is overwhelmed, and the greed of human beings is so deep that even Yemila can't bear it." , I was shocked and also felt fear, fearing that I would go my own way and make mistakes that are irreparable to this day."

"It is very natural for any human being in any world to want to live, but when their life has become an obstacle to the life of others, should the left half of the people live or the right half live?" people survive, how do you choose?"

Antinomie pursed her lower lip, hesitating so much that she didn't know how to answer: "I..."

Halakati stared at the already shaken Antinomie, and continued to speak slowly, "When I was already disheartened, Fizelinu told me that the world tree that had grown so abnormally It’s not irreparable, just as I did to make many worlds survive through external intervention, I need to intervene again to destroy them, and one day it will return to a normal range that can be tolerated.”

"'We are all fools who only know how to create, but creating alone is not enough.', Fizelinu told me. I acquiesced in her approach, and promised not to interfere with all the actions of her agent... Odin, you were the last mistake I made, so I don't mind making it worse, and if you still insist on stopping Fizelinu's agent, I will help you. "

The contradictory God of Creation looked at Antinomie's eyes that were also full of contradictions, and asked, "Now, do you still insist on stopping Alpha Gero? Even I, Fizelinu, and Yemila can't afford it." Do you have the consciousness to shoulder the heavy responsibility?"

Antinomie's wavering was almost all written on his face, and Harakti's eyes full of disappointment became a heavy burden to oppress him. When he was so confused and hesitant that he was about to give up, a thunderous roar shook him. woke up.

"Idiot, what do you think about so much! Don't care about his birth and destruction, don't you just do what you want!" Gungnir roared angrily, "Don't you just think that Iglise Are you angry because you act too despicably! Aren’t you just angry when you see Alan and Tsunayoshi Sawada being bullied by her? If you don’t like her, beat her, if you want to stop that, then stop it, the world is going to end anyway Still think about it!"

"Do you really think they are so noble, destroying the world is to prevent the collapse of the world tree?! In the name of Fizelinu's representative, you think they are inviolable?! Stopping them is not the same as saving the world tree from collapsing. It’s not contradictory, the big deal is that you can do it yourself after killing them! You have to hesitate and think about anything for so long, and you are still not a man!”

That guy Gungnir usually seems to be quite cold and mean, but when he really wants to say something serious, he will be at a loss for words and don't know what to say.But even if Gungnir pretends to be too cool and finds that it doesn't hurt to swear at people anymore, it is enough for Antinomie to come out of his misunderstanding.

Yes, what do you think about so much... If you can really do whatever you want without the burden like Gungnir said, maybe it will be a lot easier.

"My choice has not changed." Antinomie replied, meeting Harakti's gaze, "I want to meet with the holder of the scripture. If he can't change his mind of doing whatever he wants for destruction, then by I will replace him to carry out this work... Even if it is to destroy the world, there should be a more secure and correct way!"

"...Since the decision has been made, let's implement the will to the end."

Three clusters of red, yellow, and blue rays split from the golden light behind Harakti, and when they landed in her hand, they had turned into three cards of brilliance and introversion, "I can't just break my promise and let you see him directly, but It can help you clear the obstacles on the way. With the power of my three servants, it will be much easier to knock down the three guardians of Alpha Gelo.”

After thanking Antinomy, he took the three cards in which the three phantom gods were lodged, and when he was about to leave, he heard Halakti suddenly say: "Odin, the artifact I gave you seems to be quite disobedient. It just so happens that I have time now, so how about retraining for you to erase your consciousness and become more convenient? It will also be more handy to fight against Fizelinu's agent by then."

Even though Gungnir maintains his gun-like body, Antinomie can feel his body tense suddenly after Halakti said 'Retrain and erase consciousness'.After soothingly rubbing the right hand holding the handle of the gun, he lowered his eyelids to avoid Harakti's interesting gaze, and replied coldly: "No need, I'm used to the way I am now."

The Unsinkable Moon is not a real place, it is only because of the power of the Creator God of Light that it can exist independently from the World Tree, so returning to the World Tree from the Unsinkable Moon does not require flying there, only Antino Mi will be able to return to the original world immediately when he has the will to leave.

After Antinomie disappeared together with the egg mushroom that had been pretending not to exist, Halakti turned around with a smile, looked at the air and asked, "What do you think? I've always found it interesting."

There was a wave of ripples in the air, and the purple-haired witch with horns on her head and her eyes closed came out of the void, stomped the cane in her hand, and said with a light smile, "You boring little guy, you don't deserve such kindness at all. You have a heart of justice, but you can't defeat a concubine's agent—speaking of interesting, the little thing in the Yemila family is the most interesting."
