The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

You and Gyndo fight alone.

"If you need to ask about something, you can talk to the dice, and this glass ball. The glass ball knows what happened in Fisher's world in the past few hundred years, and you can ask it for many details.

"At the same time, this place is still open to you. The glass ball is the coordinates and token of this place. As long as you hold the glass ball, you can easily find this place in the darkness and talk to them here .

"...Yes, you can talk to them here. They are silent now because I am still here, still awake, so they dare not speak. In fact, they have always been here."

Antinam said in a rather subtle tone.

Siles was a little surprised, he asked: "So, dice and glass balls..."

"They are equivalent to my incarnation. Therefore, it is only my body that sleeps, not my avatar." Antinam said.

When Antinam said that the dice was his incarnation, he didn't change his face.

Siles: "..."

His gaze dropped slowly and slowly, looking at his left hand.

He thought, dice number two?

At this moment, he didn't know how to describe his mood.He just thought, besides, the dice...is the incarnation of Antinam?Is it an avatar?

This avatar has such a... lively personality!

"...Of course, they are more autonomous than incarnations in the ordinary sense. It should be said that they are more like incarnations of power than mine. They are the cohesion and sublimation of power, and they are the personifications of the godhead." Antina "So they'll have their own...personality," explains Tom.

He paused, and then said tactfully: "Don't worry, I've already told the glass ball about it. It won't be as annoying as dice."

Siles: "..."

He could only nod cautiously.Although he trusted Antinam's statement, but... But why can a glass ball be described as "annoying"?

What kind of character is this glass bead?

Moreover, from Antinam's subtle tone, Sires faintly felt that the character of the glass bead seemed to be more annoying than the dice...

He sighed inwardly.

"About 'Shadow', how should we deal with it?" Siles turned to ask.

Antinam looked at him, then smiled slightly, and said, "Actually, you already know, don't you? Just... let 'Shadow' lose interest in this world, and at the same time, let him not destroy this world. "

Siles thought for a moment, and still couldn't help but said: "But, there is really no way to kill him, at least, weaken him?"

"Maybe there are. However, he is like a parasite on our civilization. If we try to remove him, we will die; even if we really try to remove him, the next 'shadow' will wait Us." Antinam said.

"Is there nothing that can restrain the 'Shadow'?" Silence paused, "Earth?"

Siles suddenly thought that "Shadow" doesn't seem to know the existence of the earth.

...In other words, the earth derived these civilizations, and these civilizations brought their shadows.Even Anti-Nam in front of him may have formed part of the "shadow" to some extent.

This is a rather helpless situation, but Siles always feels that he seems to have overlooked something crucial.

"Maybe so." Antinam said, "However, the most important thing you need to do now is to become a god. You must first ensure your own safety, Sirius.

"Cindo can indeed help you with the 'Shadow'. He is a descendant of the old god, half a god. But your situation is much more dangerous than his. From a certain point of view, your current body There is almost no room for your soul."

Siles came back to his senses and asked, "From mastering the power of a god to becoming a god... what do I need to do?"

"A ceremony." Antinam said, "God is an eternally solidified ceremony, from the perspective of the revealer. An eternally solidified ceremony, a fixed path...a paradise."

"……paradise?"

"Yes. Paradise is not only a place to store the power of the gods, but also the power itself." Antinam explained gently, "I just mentioned many civilizations, and Fisher's world is different from their uniqueness. The place is the 'ceremony'.

"The power of Fischer's world is the power of concepts, and the gathering and sublimation of concepts requires a clear storage place, a scene, a picture...a physical object to display these concepts.

"The simplest example is, for example, Geqi Island in Temiafa. He needs such an island to embody his power of gluttony and lust."

Good, Siles thought, this is very materialistic.

Antinam pointed to Sires' left hand, and said, "Glass beads can make it easy for you to come here, which is my paradise. You can refer to the method here.

"I named it 'Fisher's Mirror'. Although this paradise is quite rough, I made it at will after I became the god of the past and history.

"However, there is indeed this... the glass cover in your mouth. This is a long river of history, and you can use it to understand certain historical events; the more influential historical events are, the more clearly you can see them here. See you.

"Of course, if you want to specify a certain person, then Tau Cemetery or Kanyo Farm are much more convenient. You have already obtained this power now... Oh, of course, after all, you have already obtained Qindo."

Antinam's gentle and gentle tone seemed to conceal the narrow nature of the sentence.

Siles: "..."

He suddenly couldn't help asking: "So, is my love affair with Qin Duo in your expectation? Is this part of your plan?"

"Of course not. I'm not the kind of parent who asks their children to go on a blind date. You are indeed destined to meet each other, but your relationship even surprised me a little." Antinam said, "However, I am very happy to see My children are able to have close and intimate relationships.

"I hope you will be happy in the future. It is quite a pleasure to have a partner by your side."

Siles had very complicated emotions for a while, and on the whole, it was considered positive.In the end, he just touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you for your blessing."

Antinam smiled slightly.

Siles thought for a while, and then thought of some things that they need to deal with outside.He then asked, "Me and Gindo, we're in an oasis in the mist of the Neverland. Here's Shadow's corpse.

"Is there any way to dispose of his corpse? I think that as people explore the Land of No Ashes, this thing will eventually cause some disasters, so it's better to deal with it now."

Antinam listened quietly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The ritual [Nameless Fire]. This ritual comes from my body, I mean, the fire of civilization in Fisher's world. This ritual can burn Drop those remnants of the old gods.

"...And the corpse of 'Shadow', to be precise, the division of power between Thaddeus and Luthmi can also be dealt with by this ceremony. After the treatment, there is a high probability that stardust will be burned out."

Antinam said almost with interest.

...But this statement... er... makes people on Earth feel a little strange.

But this statement also made Siles aware of a problem.He then said, "So, some stardust is...dangerous?"

"Yes, you can say that. But impure star dust cannot be said to be star dust. It is the polluted power of the old gods." Antinam explained, "It's like this corpse of 'shadow' Same.

"If it is processed by [Nameless Fire], it will become normal star dust that can be added to potions. This is why the Church of the Past has become a sales transfer station for star dust.

"Because this ritual is now controlled by the church of the past, almost all the star dust will be processed on their side to ensure that the pollution or other things contained in the corpses of these old gods are all burned clean."

Siles suddenly realized.

He thought of earlier, through [Akamala's Spectacle Frame], he saw the terrifying wailing hidden in the stardust of Huddoka in that mine pit.

He immediately understood why in the first half of this year, it was rumored that the magic potion made from star dust from the isolated island in the north would drive the users crazy.I'm afraid that's the raw... corpse of an old god.

People used these seemingly normal stardust without going through the church of the past, and eventually led to disaster.

From the corpses of the old gods to the dust of the stars, if they want to be safe, they must be roasted and processed by [Nameless Fire].Honestly, it's even weirder and crazier.

But that's the color of the world.Siles sighed helplessly in his heart.

He turned to ask: "So, I have to go to the church of the past to find help?"

"No, you can also ask Mr. Xia. It's more convenient." Antinam said softly.

Siles couldn't help but startled.In fact, that's exactly what he wanted to ask.

He said, "Who is Mr. Xia?"

Antinam stared at Sirius.

Siles paused and said, "Me?"

This guess had indeed appeared in his mind, but he was actually not sure.

Indeed, perhaps in the future he can go back to the past.Considering that Antinam now gave him the glass bead—the power of time, this guess is even more plausible.

However, he couldn't imagine such a thing.Can he really... go back in time?

"No, it's not you. At least it's not entirely you." Antinam shook his head, and he was finally willing to explain Sirius' doubts, "When the dice decided to bring you to Fisher's world, I would Start preparing for your arrival.

"I have prepared two identities for you in advance. Because, you know, time and fate, these are the two forces I left behind; the two forces correspond to two identities."

Siles was stunned, and he said, "Mr. Xia and Professor Noel." He paused, and then said, "This is what you just said, to complete the identity of the god?"

"Yes, you have already guessed it." Antinam said softly, "The identity of Siles Noel holds the power of fate, so he has to keep a low profile and look ordinary and ordinary.

"But Mr. Xia, this identity can be a little more open, and it can be directly related to the gods. I heard some information about you and the country you came from, so I named the identity corresponding to Time as 'Xia'. I think this will Make you feel familiar.

"If you fail to discover the secret behind your time travel, then you can also be an ordinary professor of literary history, just as a tool to hide the power of fate; or just become a puppet of the power of fate.

"However, you have done so well, secrets and truths are gathered around you, so I think Mr. Xia's power must also be entrusted to you.

"He is a shadow stuck in the past, a puppet, a silent god looming in the long river of time. He does not really exist, or in other words, he is time itself.

"So, Mr. Xia is the secret keeper of this world, because he is Time, he knows everything and keeps all the secrets of this world.

"Only when you, or me, want to do something, will he emerge from the long river of time, and then do what he should do."

Siles gradually felt a little surprised.After he realized that he should think carefully about Mr. Xia's situation, especially Mr. Xia's deeds.

But at this time, he only keenly caught a subtle word: "Puppet?"

Antinam was silent for a moment, and he nodded slowly.

Siles narrowed his eyes, and said, "Akamala's dolls?" He paused, "The stall owner who sold those six sets of dolls to me, is he Mr. Xia?"

Antinam didn't seem to want to answer this question, he turned his head, but finally said slowly: "Yes."

"...But?" Siles thought that there must be a but after these words.

"...There is indeed a 'but'. However, I can't tell you the content of the first 'but'. Because it violates the rules of time." Antinam said.

Siles couldn't help being a little surprised.

Antinam said again: "The only thing I can say is that some of Mr. Xia's actions were carried out by me manipulating the puppet in the long river of time, such as the Dawn Apocalypse. After all, at that time I There is also a need for a human avatar that is easy to move around."

Siles nodded slowly, and he heard a subtle detail from Antinam's words.

...dolls?

"You mean, those six dolls?" Siles said in surprise.

Antinam nodded, his eyes were full of meaning, as if hinting at something.However, He did answer the question quickly: "Yes, those six puppets in your hand. I borrowed the power of Akamala."

Siles was astonished to learn of this, and said, "Are you manipulating puppets here?"

"Yes. For me at the time, that was 'now'." Antinam said, "But for you, the situation will change subtly.

"Because you have obtained the power of time and dolls, you can do whatever you want."

Do whatever you want?

Siles was stunned, he almost subconsciously looked at the glass cover covering this paradise - and the flickering and changing pictures on the glass cover.

Stories from Fisher's world.

An incredible possibility, almost beyond his imagination, appeared in his heart.

Travel back to the past?

No, no.He whispered to himself in his heart.That's not dramatic enough.

"I remember that humans often use such a word: the stage of history." Antinam said softly, "Now, the puppet will become your actor; and the long history of Fisher's world is your stage.

"The curtain on this stage is about to open."
