I really only stop

The deep eyes flickered for a moment, and the first saintess watched Oedipus's face hidden by the mask, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:

"Outsider, what do you know?"

really!It is impossible for me to obtain information so easily!

Under the cover of the mask, Oedipus pursed his lips tightly, and his brain was working rapidly.

Think back to the incongruity along the way.

The completely sealed No. [-] Sky City, the control center that intends to obliterate any outsiders, and even the conversation with Miss Wafer a long time ago.

The giant dragon who destroyed the Glorious Age in the name of disaster obviously wanted to hide something, and the code name Tinder and the code name Addition seemed to be preventing certain information from being known to the latecomers.

...Perhaps, the answer is not as complicated as I thought.

"[Operation Code Root]."

Looking directly at the dazed delicate face of the first saintess for the first time, Oedipus replied word by word:

"I know the truth about disasters, condensation points, bliss, and addition."

"And I came here for [the truth]."

------------

"...【Truth】ah."

After a long silence, the first saintess sighed regretfully:

"It seems that you still haven't figured out the key to the matter, otherwise, you would never have found this place."

"What do you mean?"

Seeing that the other party did not directly tell the truth as he thought, Oedipus frowned:

"I admit that I haven't got the whole picture, and that's why I've come to ask you."

"Knowing too much is sometimes not a good thing, and the desire for knowledge is sometimes the beginning of disaster."

Instead of directly answering Oedipus' question, the first saint asked him a question:

"You mentioned [addition]? Has that action been implemented?"

"Well, but failed."

Unsure of what Heyera was trying to say, Oedipus answered her question as honestly as possible before she showed hostility:

"The so-called cannon that can knock down the stars was not successfully built until the glorious era was destroyed. Even if the power of the whole world was gathered, [Addition] did not achieve its original purpose."

"...No, I know, [Operation Code Addition] has achieved complete success."

As if mourning, the first saint closed her eyes:

"That was the last resort we used to fight the disaster. Until I entered Themis and closed it, the leaders of the major forces were still arguing fiercely about whether to use this plan-now it seems that because all other roads have been blocked. Sealed, they can only choose to give it a go in the end."

?

Now Oedipus was completely confused.

According to the information stored on Miss Wafer, the purpose of the operation code name Addition is to gather the resources and wisdom of the whole world to create a cannon that can shoot down the Calamity Star. No sign of completion was seen.

However, the first saint said, 'Operation Code Addition' succeeded.

Why?She had obviously been locked in this sky city, and the operation code name, Addition, was only implemented after she was locked.But why can she make such a judgment directly?

Is it possible...

Seeing through the suspicion flickering in Oedipus's eyes, the first saint just smiled slowly:

"Outsider, although you seem to know my identity, I don't know your name yet."

"... Oedipus."

"Well, I remember."

Nodding with difficulty, the first saint said:

"Naedips, please tell me what you know about [History]."

------------

Knowing that the opportunity to face and talk to people from thousands of years ago is rare, even though his inner doubts exploded, Oedipus still patiently told the first generation of saintess about the world's generally recognized known history.

"It turns out that the [Dragon of Calamity] that destroyed the world, and the one who sealed it was the [Hero]."

After listening to Oedipus' narration quietly throughout the whole process, the first-generation saint gave a small smile, but she couldn't tell whether the emotion contained in the laughter was amused or lamented:

"Nice story, isn't it? Sounds like a fairy tale for putting children to bed."

"Through the search for information from ten thousand years ago, I have learned that it is not the truth."

Oedipus shook his head:

"The truth of the disaster is the freezing point theory revealed by [Operation Code Root], and the cause of your era's destruction is the disease called [Bliss]. What really bothers me is how you finally solved this problem One question? Why do civilizations continue to this day?"

"...Sometimes people need to forget to move on, and the world is the same. Don't let down the sacrifice made by Action Code Adda, turn around and go back now, this is my last advice to you."

The deep eyes were closed again, and the body of the first saint was once again supported by black iron thorns:

"It stands to reason that I should kill you here immediately. But since the addition operation has been successful, all your explorations will become meaningless. After you leave, I will immediately activate Themis' automatic Destroy the program. People who have struggled for thousands of years in Themis deserve their natural destination. Goodbye, Oedipus."

"--Wait a moment!!!"

Taking a step forward, Oedipus clenched his fists:

"Is it interesting to always say such riddles?! You haven't told me the truth yet!"

"……Feel sorry."

The first saintess didn't seem to be ready to pay attention to Oedipus' accusation, and the black iron thorns slowly surrounded her in the center like a coffin, like a black wooden coffin.

Oedipus, who had always deceived others, finally tasted the same thing today. After getting the information he wanted, the first saintess simply said goodbye to him, completely violating the previous agreement to exchange information.

In retrospect, she didn't reveal even the slightest useful information.

hateful!That being the case——

Seeing that the face of the first saint was about to be covered with black iron thorns, a ruthless look flashed in Oedipus' eyes.

[Fayin·Spiritual Control]!

Even if it completely destroys your will, I will take that truth out of your mind!

PS: Thanks for your support

Chapter - 22 The Amazement of 3/50

"Ding."

The light of the holy art collided violently with the fluctuation of the seal, and there was a crisp sound of iron interlacing.

...is offset?

After all, the other party is the founder of the holy art system and the only [natural saint] in the world. Oedipus did not intend to completely destroy her will with a single move.

However, this is after all his closest chance to [Truth]. If he misses today, he may never have the chance to meet someone like Haiyera who has survived for thousands of years and has a high status.

So, no matter what you do, stop her here! !

At the same time, both hands outlined the magic seal that strengthened his body, and with the thought of Oedipus, the power of [Magic Seal Joy] also appeared on him.

Now he has shown his most powerful state, not for anything else, just to gain the opportunity to learn the truth from the mouth of the first saint.

About the reason why [Mother] gave me birth and sent me to look for it, and... what is a mother [what]?

Now I will no longer evade these answers, whether I know the truth or not depends on this and give it a go!

Quickly entering an unprecedented fighting state, Oedipus looked at the first-generation saint, but found that the other's expression was beyond his imagination.

Not the anger of being suddenly attacked, but the astonishment like seeing a ghost.

"[Life Seal]?!"

For the first time, the calm voice of the first saintess rose uncontrollably:

"Impossible...why do you still hold this power!?"

--------------

The tense atmosphere was instantly replaced by a strange silence. Oedipus felt palpitations as he watched the horrified eyes of the first saint.

For some reason, I feel that what she is looking at is not me, but something that makes her [fear] in her heart.

Swallowing with difficulty, Oedipus asked in a low voice:

"...Excuse me, what happened to the Seal of Life?"

"Fa Yin... No, [Operation Code Addition] could not have taken this into consideration... But why is this person..."

It's hard to imagine that the first-generation saint who remained unchanged even after being pierced by black iron thorns would show such a bewildered expression.

Immediately, her eyes were fixed on the mask of Oedipus:

"Oedipus, take off your mask and let me see your real face."

The sentence pattern of the order, but the attitude is very serious, making people have to obey.

Seeing the appearance of the first saint, Oedipus unknowingly became nervous.He nodded slightly, and then silently took off his mask.

Emerald green eyes, fair skin, and...a pair of pointy ears.

"Sure enough."

Staring blankly at Oedipus' ears, the first saint asked:

"Are you an elf?"

"I'm a hybrid of an elf and a human... But in fact, I don't know what happened to my [mother]."

After a slight pause, Oedipus did not choose to hide:

"When I was very young, my mother sent me to several elves, and then buried my hometown with her own hands. When I was taken to the holy land of elves, I was overwhelmed by it, but I found out that all the The [Elves] seem to be my mother."

"Collective consciousness? Calamity can already do this? But how? It is impossible for His Excellency N'Zoth to make such a low-level mistake... The problem lies in..."

Muttering a few words in her mouth like chanting a spell, suddenly, the first-generation saint stared closely at Oedipus' emerald green eyes:

"You mean [Elf Holy Land]? Is the World Tree still standing there?"

"...Well, of course."

Unknown so nodded, Oedipus replied:

"My mother told me that it is the original life in the world, and it is also the belief of all the elves. There is an [Original Seal] engraved on the tree, and I learned the skills of the Seal from there—"

"—"

"—?!?!"

Oedipus' introduction stopped abruptly before he finished speaking, not because he deliberately concealed it, but because he noticed Hiyera's expression.

The first-generation saint who had maintained an astonishingly calm state since her debut, even when she had just announced her death, was looking at his face at this moment, and for some reason shed tears.

It's not tears of joy, but confusion and [despair] from the bottom of my heart.

So weak, yet so profound.

The small room was momentarily filled with endless silence.

--------------

"... Oedipus."

After a long time, the first saintess spoke slowly, but her tone was filled with the loneliness and exhaustion that she didn't have just now:

"You said that your purpose of coming here is to seek [the truth], so what exactly do you want to ask?"

"The biggest question is [how can our world survive the disaster until today]."

Although he didn't know why the first saintess was suddenly willing to speak, Oedipus, who was eager to learn, replied very quickly:

"If the 'condensation point' theory brought about by disasters is just a nihilistic idea, then [Bliss] is a [crisis] that can actually threaten people's lives. But since the fire of civilization has been preserved until today, it means that You found a way to overcome Bliss. How did you do it?"
