The Master of the Strange Realm

Chapter 2147 The Last Slate

"It's not 'maybe it will help', it's that it will help now. This is exactly what the ceremony needs. It comes at the perfect time!"

The old elf has already come this way.

With the help of the old elf's elf skills, the church improved upon the elf rituals and gathered almost the top ritual masters in the entire material world. Within half an hour, it was determined that Jenkins wanted to use the ritual. Every detail.

The reason why it is "almost the top" is because the believers of the God of Ritual are not here. Jenkins heard from Silver Dragon, who heard from Sophia that Miss Magic asked Hathaway for a train. Jenkins knew that Miss Magic always had some fantastic ideas, and maybe she could really help him in the end.

However, Miss Magic said she had found something that Jenkins had not found, so she had the inspiration. Jenkins was very surprised. Nearly a month ago, he followed Miss Magic's clues to find the key gift, and the possible location of the fragments of the slate that Dolores gave to Mr. Constantine in the Gem Party was near that gift (note).

At that time, Jenkins and the old elf found the "Key to the Door" together, but no fragments of the slate were found. Later, he told Miss Magic about his experience that night. Miss Magic said that he found something that Jenkins did not find, which was most likely the fragment of the stone slab.

"I didn't expect that she would be able to find inspiration from something to that extent. It's amazing."

Silver Dragon had just left the strange situation not long ago. According to her, the metal black cat was not worth mentioning. She defeated it easily and did not even leave any injuries on her.

She vividly described the details of the fight between the dragon and the cat in the strange environment after Jenkins left, and expressed with some excitement that this was the most enjoyable battle she had fought in tens of thousands of years.

"If you dare to ask me how old I am now, I will take Sophia and leave the material world immediately."

After finishing speaking, he didn't forget to add that he seemed to understand Jenkins' way of speaking quite well.

While waiting for the ceremony to be completed, Jenkins also asked about the nine Doomsday Scripts. The last piece of the doomsday document has been found, on the wall of the dead-end alley where Jenkins and Mr. Barnard entered the strange place. In other words, the last doomsday document is in the wall where the entrance to the strange realm was.

After the church learned the specific location from Hathaway, they immediately sent people to find it. When they knocked down the wall and prepared to dig three feet into the ground, stone slabs emerged from the broken bricks.

The nine doomsday documents were originally concentrated in the Church of the Sage, and the Twelve Orthodox Church was trying to find a way to send them to the Strange Land. The nine stone slabs came together and some unexpected changes occurred, so they could not be transferred to the abandoned hospital on the outskirts of the city immediately after Jenkins appeared.

But the church was already preparing to move, and when Jenkins returned to the treacherous realm, he thought he could take them with him.

"Speaking of which, although I can't see those slates now, what exactly is written on the last slate?"

Jenkins asked curiously.

Alexia and the two diviners certainly didn't know that they had been waiting for Jenkins' second return in the Evergreen Forest, and they didn't even know that the church had found the ninth stone. Anastasia didn't know the contents of the slate either. She had just returned from a strange situation and was called by Jenkins without saying a few words to Princess Sophia. She had not heard about the slate.

But now among the people in the church, there must be someone who knows the specific content on the stone tablet. Jenkins happened to see an acquaintance, Mr. Gilbert, but Mr. Gilbert seemed to be avoiding Jenkins and did not give Jenkins a chance to talk to him.

"They're scared of you now."

Silver Dragon stood beside Jenkins and hummed:

"It's as if the ants suddenly know that the guys who look the same around them are actually fake ants wearing puppet costumes. This will definitely cause panic."

"But why aren't Miss Audrey and Miss Bronyance afraid?"

he asked. The two diviners went to help arrange the ceremony and were not with Jenkins for the time being.

"Obviously, soothsayers are strange creatures."

Anastasia said matter-of-factly, and then walked towards Mr. Gilbert to help Jenkins ask about the contents of the last doomsday document.

Although the stone tablet symbolizing the purple destiny was the last one to be found, in fact, if we follow the specific time when the savior's emblem appeared, this is the first doomsday document, and the "unknown road ahead" is the true meaning of the eighteenth century. The first formed emblem of the Savior.

Compared to the stone tablet representing the "Twin Demons", this one truly predicted the beginning of the end.

It was also a short poem, recited by Silver Dragon to Jenkins:

【Everything must eventually perish,】

[The wandering time has come to the end of the years. 】

[When the Roaring Steam Age comes to an end,]

[It will end with a grand performance. 】

【Here! It is the vortex of fate! 】

【at this time! It’s the end of time! 】

[God and the Lord are paying attention to this,]

[An unexpected person fell here. 】

[The purple destiny hovers in the sky,]

[That unexpected smoke redirects everything. 】

【Myths and legends will be written again;】

[What will be left behind will be a brand new story. 】

【Everything will be attributed to fate,】

【The fate will belong to God,】

[God will become a man,]

[Man will save the world.]

For some reason, this first slate is easier to understand than the other eight. This may be because all the stories at the end of this era have already happened, and the mission of the savior will also come to an end, so it is easy to understand what the fate on the doomsday slate refers to.

If Jenkins and Mr. Barnard had found this slate immediately after leaving the strange world, they would definitely not understand everything on it. Jenkins remembered this day a year ago with some nostalgia. This day a year ago was the beginning of everything. He did not regret coming to this world at all. Even if he failed in the end, he was very happy about all his experiences in the past year. This was a priceless treasure for him.

Not only Mr. Gilbert, but all the people who were urgently transferred to the abandoned hospital deliberately stayed away from Jenkins, so that only Anastasia, who was temporarily free, could chat with Jenkins.

This made Jenkins realize that even if he defeated the differential engine and left the tower, his future life would not be as peaceful as before. Dozens of hours ago, under the tower, when he decided to use the power of God to repel the disaster summoned by the last three demigods in the tree house, he had anticipated such consequences. But it doesn't matter, he has a way to reverse it all.

Chapter 2148 Explanation of "Four"

Jenkins has also heard the oracle of the sage, but even if the sage said it didn't matter, people couldn't really turn a blind eye to Jenkins' identity. As long as people still know that he is a god, he won't be able to get the life he wants in the future.

Therefore, Jenkins' idea is very necessary. Even if he becomes a god immediately after defeating the difference machine, he will not leave the material world immediately. After all, from the known information, the transition period from the eighteenth century to the nineteenth century is still very long (note). As for the newspapers seen in the future, some of the words on them may be true.

Soon the ceremony was ready, and then all the church members withdrew from the scope of the abandoned hospital. On the one hand, they left the venue to Jenkins, and on the other hand, they wanted to avoid him.

It's not because they hate Jenkins, but because the church leaders who know the truth have not yet discussed how to treat Jenkins.

Jenkins was too lazy to think about it for the time being. After confirming that everyone else had retreated, he held the cat and said to Alexia:

"I talked to you about the ability of [Four Seasons]. There was no effect after using four plants representing the four seasons to activate the ability. Mr. Sienod just now also thought that this was because of the symbol."

The old elf on the side nodded and continued Jenkins' words:

"So Jenkins needs to use a new symbol of the four seasons to completely activate the ability. The choice of the symbol not only depends on himself, but also affects the further evolution direction of this [Four Seasons] ability, so this must be decided by Jenkins himself."

"So you want to choose the Titan statue?"

Miss Audrey asked, and the group walked together in the fog of the abandoned hospital. The sky was dark and ashes were still falling, but no one held an umbrella. There were some bright fireballs floating around them, which were summoned by Miss Bronion for lighting.

"This time I encountered a special situation, otherwise I would tend to look for numbered items related to the 'Four Seasons Time' in the church's collection and perform the most perfect ritual. But now, my body has changed because it has been exposed to too much 'blood' in the strange world, and the whole body is showing a posture of 'melting'. This has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that it is more susceptible to the power of the scarlet mayfly..."

The several people present, whether Alexia, the old elf, the fortune teller or the silver dragon, have enough knowledge to face the disaster beast, so Jenkins does not need to be shy when introducing it.

"And the advantage is that the body at this time is also easier to reshape."

"Do you want to rely on the power of blood and use four different bloodlines as symbols?"

Miss Audrey understood it at once.

"No, it's not just a symbol of external objects, but also a symbol of ability. Jenkins has several blue alien abilities, among which the corresponding to Titan is [Titan Power]."

The old elf thought more, he was the one who understood the essence of [Four Seasons] best among the people present.

"If so, is Jenkins pursuing the 'four-in-one'? Using four alien symbols and four alien abilities, corresponding to the [Four Seasons] ability to activate, so that his body can perfectly use the abilities of four powerful aliens?"

Miss Bronion was inspired by the elves and thought of this.

At this time, everyone came to the foot of the Titan's stone statue. Looking up at the Titan standing in the dark at this position, it was really spectacular and breathtaking.

"No, I think I know what Jenkins wants to do."

Alexia pursed her lips and thought about it. The short lady really knew Jenkins best:

"His body is more like a seedling of the world than a hybrid of humans and elves. The legendary world tree breeds all things. Even if the legend is exaggerated, it is true that the world tree is related to the blood of all living things. What Jenkins wants to do is to take advantage of his current body, which is closest to the uncertain state of 'chaos', to activate the [Four Seasons] with four alien bloodlines, and then use the power of the [Four Seasons] to nourish the power of the world tree in the soul, so that the body can truly become a [World Tree] related to the blood of all things."

The silver dragon walking beside Jenkins showed a surprised expression:

"If that's the case, that would be amazing. Theoretically, this can indeed nurture the growth of the World Tree."

Jenkins nodded while petting the cat:

"This opportunity is very rare. If I want to bring my body close to the 'melted' state, I am afraid that except for the power of this strange situation, I will never be able to do it. And I will have to face the scarlet ephemera soon. As long as I find the bloodline to resist the distortion of all things, method, mechanical ephemera is actually not powerful.”

"I see, if your body can get closer to becoming the World Tree, then as the source of the bloodline of all things, no matter how twisted you are, you will still be the bloodline of all things."

The old elf suddenly realized:

"I really didn't expect this line of thinking."

"After all, the emergence of a second World Tree in this world is almost impossible."

Miss Bronyance seemed to mean something, but without giving Jenkins time to think, she said again:

"But it's still a 'four-in-one'. There is so-called 'spiritual mathematics' in divination, and spiritual mathematics has many ways to interpret numbers. One of the ways is that actually only the numbers 1, 2, and 3 are meaningful, and the rest are All are meaningless.

1 is the origin and beginning of all things, 2 usually represents two opposing concepts extended from 1, and 3 is a complex and stable structure further derived from the opposing concepts. Some people believe that if 4 is mentioned in this interpretation category, then 4 usually refers to all things derived from the spiritual numbers 1, 2, and 3. The four-in-one can also be further explained as ‘all-in-one’. "

This is a more academic statement.

"In other words, this is the creation of all things from the four, and then attributing the concept of all things to itself to realize its own uniqueness."

Yinlong added that although she sometimes seems not to be serious about anything, Yinlong's knowledge is real.

"Indeed, one leaf of the World Tree can also be regarded as a part of the World Tree, and four leaves are enough to represent the concept of 'many' of the World Tree."

The elf interpreted the meaning of this from another perspective.

"One, two, two, three, and three give rise to all things, so four is all things."

Jenkins agreed in a language that no one understood, nodding as he spoke:

"That makes sense, that's what it is."

"what language is this?"

Alexia thought for a moment and made sure she didn't understand Jenkins at all, then asked curiously.

"I'll explain everything to you when this is all over."

He answered with a smile, so Alexia changed the question:

"So, which four bloodlines do you want to choose to correspond to the four seasons? If it is to stimulate the growth of the World Tree, these four bloodlines must be ancient and powerful."

When he left the enchantment and fell into a pool under the giant trees of the evergreen forest, Jenkins had already figured out how to symbolize the seasons. It's simple and the answer seems to be right on the tip of your tongue.

In the vibrant spring, choose your own elf bloodline. He himself is the symbol, and the corresponding ability is [World Tree Seedling]. Only by involving the power of World Tree can you stimulate and nurture its essence.

In the hot and violent summer, I chose the ancient silver dragon bloodline. Anastasia thought that she could provide a symbol. Although Jenkins did not have any ability to cope with the dragon, [The Uncrowned King] contained the power of the dragon.

In the declining but strong Autumn, I chose the ancient Titan bloodline that has declined but is still powerful. The symbol is the Titan statue in front of me, and the corresponding ability is [Titan Power].

"What about winter?"

Miss Audrey asked, not forgetting to suggest:

"How about vampires? Use vampires that are similar to the undead to symbolize the winter when cruelty and death coexist."

"No, he had better options."

Miss Bronyance said, and Alexia nodded. Anastasia looked at Alexia in surprise, and saw that she nodded, so she didn't ask any more questions. Only then did the old elf understand what the three ladies were thinking at the moment. He looked sideways at Jenkins, but Jenkins just stared at the Titan statue, his face turning expressionless at some point.

Chocolate squirmed uneasily in Jenkins' arms, and his tail stood up and rubbed against Jenkins' chin.

"Since you want to symbolize the four seasons in this way, it is better for you to have the power of a dragon. The power in [The Uncrowned King] is probably not enough to support the ceremony for a while. Do you still have a blank bubble now?"

Anastasia said, breaking the somewhat weird atmosphere at the moment.

"There's only one left."

"Okay, now I will give you power...you guys turn around...I know you can know what happened even if you don't look, but this is me to help Jenkins The sacrifice you have made, so for the sake of the honor of this sacrifice, absolutely don’t tell anyone if anything happens.”

The old elf has long known that Anastasia is a dragon. After all, although there are no dragons in the material world, there are in the Evergreen Forest. He turned around first.

Miss Bronyance and Alexia were people who knew what was happening behind them even if they turned around. The former smiled. She had known for a long time that Anastasia was not a human being. Now that her guess was confirmed, she turned around. Alexia glanced at Jenkins, as if she wanted to threaten him with her eyes.

It's a pity that the short lady has always been quiet and well-educated, so she can't make such a ferocious expression.

Miss Audrey, who hadn't understood yet, wanted to see what would happen next, but was forced to turn around by her teacher and her best friend.
