But what did Slime do wrong?

Of course, Rimuru didn't know that Osamu Dazai was outside digging holes for Mori Owaiqin again.Rather, all his attention right now is on Gao Longshen in front of him.

"This one……"

Limuru frowned.

He originally thought that whether it was Gao Longshen's coma or the unknown powers lingering around him, it was all caused by the reappearance of Yamata no Orochi.

As long as the interference caused by Yamata no Orochi can be cleared, then everything should be back on the right track_-However, it turns out that his conjecture is completely different from the real situation in reality.

For example, now, it is clear that all the obstacles that Yamata no Orochi could bring have been cut off, but Gao Longshen's situation does not seem to be any better than when Limuru just picked it up.

"What's going on, Gao Longshen..."

Limulu stretched out his hand and placed it on Gao Longshen's forehead, with undisguised worry in his eyes.

Those black air currents that were only lingering around Gao Longshen's side seemed to be aware of it, and surrounded Limuru's body, and entangled it in it, and gradually expanded the range, which seemed to want to engulf Limuru. Lu was also swallowed up together.

The part of the forearm surrounded by the airflow is cold, as if soaked in ice - this is really strange for Limulu, because since he turned into a slime, he has gained With regard to temperature resistance, no matter whether it is hot summer or severe cold, it is theoretically impossible to have any effect on Limuru.

But now, Limulu really felt the coolness coming from his arms, how could this not surprise him.

"What the hell is it..."

Rimuru muttered.

"Charles, do you know what's going on?"

However, it was not Shire who gave his answer, but an overly frivolous voice that made people want to beat him up just by listening to it: "That is not from this world." The influence brought by demon gods, or evil thoughts, is the malice belonging to other worlds that overflows from the crack between worlds."

"The god you know should regard himself as a container to seal these evil thoughts, absorb them all into his body, and prevent them from spilling out, so he was affected to this extent."

When this sentence came to an end, the speaker was already standing in front of Limuru, smiling and waving at him: "Hi~ we meet again, Limuru."

"Merlin."

Rimuru hastily asked him.

"You know what happened to Gao Longshen, right?"

"Did I tell you that before? This world is a singularity."

Limulu thought about the world after death that was stored in his stomach pouch: "...Yes, I remember."

"There was a crack in this world, and it was connected with other worlds. The gods retreated to the sea of ​​stars, and used themselves as the anti-stone to prevent the opening of the door to another world. This is why this world will become a unique world. Point, the most fundamental reason.”

Merlin's eyes seemed to be shining with iridescent luster, and he said softly: "...Moreover, this situation may have lasted for hundreds of years."

"Hey?"

This was somewhat beyond Limulu's cognitive range, and he responded blankly. In fact, his brain was still a little confused, and he couldn't understand well what Merlin wanted to express.

"Because if things are not serious enough to affect the correct course of history, it is impossible to become a singularity."

"The mirror world you entered before is an intermediate subspace that acts as a buffer zone between the two worlds; The anti-way stone formed by God."

From the moment he came into this world, Merlin had already noticed this essence.

It is very amazing that this world is not actually a fragmented or cut-out fragment from their world, it develops in a diverse and unimaginable way.

It is the miracle of life.

It was miraculous and wonderful, so that a half-succubus like Merlin, who was supposed to be emotionally weak, couldn't help but be amazed by it, and had some thoughts of wanting to protect it.

"Even the power of gods will be exhausted one day. This polluted god is the best example."

"One day, when all the gods in this world are riddled with holes and powerless like reefs corroded by sea water, they will block the road to the underworld like in the myth to prevent the underworld from being eroded. The road in the world is like a broken stone, completely opening the road between the two worlds."

"Will that be a bad thing?" Limuru asked cautiously.

Merlin smiled: "Maybe so, but who knows?"

"There will inevitably be many conflicts and entanglements between different worlds. Whether it is civilization or force value, all will collide. It's like when human beings just opened a new route back then, it also experienced a long period of blood road , Only then gradually began the world's Unicom and integration."

"Then, it's the next era."

"Then, young king." Merlin lowered his head and looked at Limulu, who was not even taller than his waist. "What is your choice?"

"Will you open that door, or seal it completely? Such power is in your hands."

Limulu opened her mouth: "...Why me?"

He couldn't understand why the power of choice, which was heavy enough no matter what he thought about it, fell on himself--Limuru has always regarded himself as a passer-by in this world, and he doesn't think he can replace this world to determine the future direction.

"Um……"

The magus who could see all the "now" in this world pondered for a moment.

"Because the gatekeeper responsible for guarding the passage behind the gods is not your country and citizen?"

Rimuru: "Huh?!"

He felt that he could understand every word Merlin said, but for some reason, when they were combined together, Limuru found that he couldn't understand the meaning at all.

"I haven't done such a thing?" Limulu couldn't help but said, "Even what you just said is just the first time I heard it today."

The blade made of condensed ice and snow rushed out from behind Limuru, cleverly bypassed him, and pierced Merlin overwhelmingly.Merlin didn't seem to be panicked by such a sudden attack, he just tapped the ground lightly with the staff in his hand.

Ripples like water waves rippled away, and the excessively large number of petals came from nowhere, covering people's heads and faces.Those ice blades were wrapped by petals, and all of them melted away. In the end, the two disappeared together, as if they had never appeared before.

"Ahhhhh." Merlin patted his chest exaggeratedly and sighed, "You really have a bad temper, Miss Xue Nu."

That's right, the one who attacked Merlin just now was the Snow Maiden who just stepped out of the house.

"Zhu Ci?"

Rimuru was a little confused.

"So rude... what are you doing?"

"Master Rimuru!"

Xuenv strode forward, blocking Limulu behind her, looking at Merlin with eyes full of vigilance, snowflakes falling around her, and the temperature in this area dropped accordingly.

"Who are you?" Xue Nu asked, "How do you know this?"

Limulu was startled: "Wait, Snow Maiden, so... is what Merlin said true? Are you guys in charge of guarding the door?!"

"Yes."

Xue Nu replied in a low voice.

"We don't know what's behind that passage, that door, but it's opened in the underworld, in the country where we met, intersected, and built together with you."

"Before seeing you, we will absolutely not allow the country you stayed to be destroyed by any existence!"

"—So, we made a contract with the gods."

Qing Xingdeng did not know when he appeared here, and picked up the words of Xue Nu.

"We will exist forever as gatekeepers, and they will definitely stop the existence of those other worlds."

Otherwise, the country of gold at the entrance of the passage will inevitably be the first to be impacted, and at the same time, the most impacted place.

Under such circumstances, even if the country of gold has a strong national power, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be damaged under such an impact.

"But it's all worth it."

Qing Xingdeng took a deep breath and smiled like a flower.

"—Because, after all, we have waited for your return."
