[Comprehensive] Why am I not dead yet?

The place Lian Su and Mei Lin went to was not elsewhere, but the sea of ​​death where she stayed when she first arrived in this world.

Near the sea of ​​death is still the emerald green pine forest she is familiar with, bright flowers bloom beside the rhizomes of gemstones, and the pure white sandy beach is full of beautiful shells hiding bright pearls.

Merlin walked behind her in the forest, and couldn't help asking, "Where are we going, Vivian?"

"To find materials for casting the invincible 'sword'." She replied. "You are very clear, Merlin? When dealing with characters like heroic spirits, sometimes recreating a certain scene in life can play a vital role. For example, if a heroic spirit was poisoned before his death, how terrible is his quality after becoming a heroic spirit? Neither can overcome this obstacle, and vice versa.

In this world, nothing is more powerful than the combination of Tiamat and Eleven Warcraft in the creation legend. We can't find a true reproduction of the scene of the year, but fortunately, we can still simulate a [-]% to [-]% one. "

Merlin looked puzzled: "Are you going to the Sea of ​​Death?"

He led the way without even looking back, "In the myth, when Marduk faced Tiamat alone, he knew that he could not win against him, so he chose to remove Tiamat from the guardian of the monster. She was tricked out of it, and bound her so that the mother god could not use her strength. She killed eleven monsters one by one in front of her, and their bones sank into the sea of ​​death. The blood was sprinkled on the mother god's body so that she could not die. The death of the child' is the creation myth of the land."

"In other words, even if you only get one of the bones and blood of the eleven monsters, the chance of victory is [-]%... The bone can be understood as a weapon to defeat 'Tiamat', and the blood can be used as a prop for protection , with popularity and era bonus, the effects of these two things will be better than ever.”

Merlin paused: "Vivian, do you know who our enemy is?"

"I knew it before you came. The scholars of Gilgamesh have been talking about the possibility that the enemy on the opposite side is Tiamat. However, the mother goddess is sleeping in the imaginary space, and the chance of the deity waking up is too low."

"Then...if it is the real God Tiamat, what will you do?"

Merlin spoke suddenly.

Lian Su, who was walking ahead, stopped without warning.

She turned her head very slowly, looking at Merlin's unusually calm face.

"—You repeat, what is the real Tiamat god?"

The woman's questioning voice was soft and melodious, without the slightest abnormality.

...But regarding the identity of the woman in front of her, her calmness is the biggest anomaly.

"That is to say... [-]% of my current power is used to force the sleeping object, nothing else; it is the mother goddess of creation of this world - Tiamat."

"……what."

After being silent for a while, she smiled flatly.

"Yeah, that's kind of interesting."

That smile was so calm, Merlin suddenly had a very strange idea in his heart.

——Does she really know who she is?

"Let's not stop here, time is running out, let's keep going, Merlin." She turned around and continued walking forward.With Lian Su leading the way, the two quickly walked out of the woods and came to the coast. Not far away, they could see a small boat parked on the shore. The two boarded the boat one after another. up the strut.

"Let me go punting, Vivienne." Merlin said to her, "Don't look like a magician, I'm also a muscular B."

"Don't tell me this kind of thing with pride. I know you are strong. After all, I taught you the matter of 'chanting a mantra as fast as cutting someone with a sword'." Lian Su sighed lightly, Push him to the side to do a good job, "Here I spend much more time punting than you, and you don't know where I'm going, just do it well."

Merlin let out an oh, and just when he sat down, he realized something: "...you said you were punting here?"

The blond girl in white gave a familiar push, and the boat had already left the shore. "yes."

"In the myth of Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes came out to find the elixir of immortality after the death of his best friend. The boatman he met on the road helped him a lot and finally returned to Uruk together???"

Lian Su glanced at the screaming Merlin inexplicably. "It's me, what's the matter?"

"...I thought you were just a heroic spirit summoned by King Gilgamesh!?" Merlin cried out.

"Ah, that." Lian Su frowned and thought for a while: "...How did the later Epic of Gilgamesh be written?"

Merlin was taken aback.

【...Please cut open my flesh with a dagger, and use my bones and pine wood to make a new pole.

After traveling to 8000 meters, they used up the last pole, and the boatman lost most of his bones. Wang took off his robe and made a sail with his own hands. 】

"Because he lost most of the bones that supported his limbs, the boatman standing by could not stop the snake that stole the elixir. This caused King Gilgamesh to lose his chance of eternal life."

"—That's it." Lian Su replied lightly, "Although there are some modifications, but I did lose most of the bones in my whole body, and I barely relied on pine wood substitutes to support me back to Ulu Ke, because I was about to die at that time, and then the World of Warcraft battle broke out, so Gilgamesh used me as the basis for the heroic spirit summoning, and used the power of the heroic spirit foundation to barely continue my life... To put it bluntly, just It can be said that he is a living dead who is neither human nor ghost."

She seemed completely oblivious to the problem.Merlin couldn't help thinking.

This world is already a singularity. When everything here is repaired by humans, everything that happened will be corrected. Whether it is the summoning of heroic spirits or the front of Warcraft, it will return to the "correct history". He never paid too much attention to this, because he always thought that Vivienne's existence in this world was just "a part of the singularity".

After the human law is revised, the traces of her existence, her significance to Gilgamesh, and everything that happened between them will be completely erased.

At that time, she will still be her own Vivienne—even if the past cannot be modified and history cannot be erased, they can still exist in each other's legends until the entire history of mankind is completely extinct.

With despicable but selfish thoughts that he couldn't give up, he ignored the extraordinary tacit understanding between the two.

—but now it's different.

This person, who exists in the legend of the king of Uruk, occupies an extremely important position.

Even if human principles are corrected, even if the Uruk dynasty is destroyed, even if after a long time, no trace of Babylon can be found except for the legends in historical books and the ruins of the ancient city buried in the loess...

"...What?" He suddenly covered his face and laughed softly.

Lian Su looked down at him, and continued to support the boat quietly.

"It's too much to exist in another person's legend. It's so much that my heart starts to ache."

...Why.

Merlin looked up at Lian Su's side face, and asked the question he had asked again.

"Vivian."

"Ok?"

"Do you love King Gilgamesh?"

There was a momentary pause in Lian Su's punting, and she quickly returned to normal: "Of course I don't love, I can't have that kind of emotion anymore, after losing my heart, I don't think love is really that much good stuff-"

—Does love make people crazy?

Judging from countless examples, it really makes people crazy, even the former Lian Su was one of them.

Lian Su knew this better than anyone else, so before she was destroyed by this love again and again and was completely killed, this woman chose to "kill" herself first.

At this time, she had already sailed the boat into the center of the sea of ​​death. The blonde girl fixed the boat pole at one end and began to untie her clothes, shoes and socks. Trying to wrap her up again: "Wait, wait!!! Vivian, what are you doing all of a sudden!!!"

"What are you doing... Naturally, go into the water to find the bones?" She asked inexplicably, "My current class is a swordsman, and sword casting itself has a class bonus. With the best sword-making materials, even if we really deal with Tiamat in the future, we will have the power to fight against Tiamat."

"... Vivienne, don't you really want to deal with Tiamat yourself!?" Merlin frantically wrapped her in the robe she had just taken off, and wrapped her tightly around her neck. A ferocious bright red scar was exposed here, and Merlin's fingers were pulled down there. No matter how the scar snaked down, his heart stopped in fear.

"Otherwise?" Lian Su struggled a few times, and pulled out two scarred arms from the arms of the magician with strength B.

The Magician of Flowers could even clearly understand from the marks on it how the person who held the knife at that time dug out the bones from the flesh and blood coldly, but she suddenly didn't realize how scary the scars on her body were, and she thought about it to herself. : "I have my plan, oh Merlin, let me go first... I still have to go into the water to get my bones!"

"—Vivian!!!"

Merlin's unbearable roar startled the struggling Lian Su, and also scared away the countless swimming fish that unknowingly came to the side of the boat and gradually gathered.

He stared at the blond woman in his arms. In his memory, Vivienne's skin was flawless and flawless. Then he looked at this one in front of him, fragile, slender, and pale. There was something there. A little bit of the chic look that was full of energy and spirit back then?

... so many knights dream of the lake fairy, who is reluctant to even frown occasionally... How can someone be willing to stab her without hesitation?

Vivian, who has her heart dug out, no longer loves anyone, and no longer cares whether she is loved by others, shouldn't the part that is left behind should live completely for herself! ?

"Vivienne...you have dug out your heart to me, you don't love anyone anymore, right, me too, and so do others, you have lost that function...if you don't have someone to love and the ability to love, you There's no need to go to such a point!?"

Lian Su was a little surprised by him.

She widened her eyes and looked at the frightened Merlin. After thinking about it, she finally thought of the reason why he was so angry.

"—I'm wrong, it's because I don't love anyone anymore, so I don't even know how to 'love' myself."

Lian Su tilted her head and said calmly.

"Also, don't get it wrong: I am the heroic spirit summoned by Gilgamesh; it is his sword, his subject, but definitely not his lover who needs to be cherished and protected."

"...But," Merlin felt his throat was dry and stiff, and he found it difficult to even speak out: "...I've said Vivienne many times...I said, I love you."

"wrong."

Lian Su retorted calmly.

"Because even during the time when I trusted you the most, you never made me believe this alone."
