Chapter 100
Needless to say, Gu Xin, even the other four demons present all had expressions of horror on their faces.
Elioge, what exactly are you asking?
If you want to die, don’t drag us into it!
If you want to challenge Big Brother, then go ahead!
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
Gu Xin was stunned for several seconds, his eyes full of confusion, and asked doubtfully: "Elliog, are you serious?"
He knew that when Eliorg was a child, he had challenged his elder brother countless times and was extremely courageous. However, as he grew older, his courage gradually faded because he gradually realized how terrifying his elder brother was. What was going on today? Was this younger brother crazy?
Eliorg was sure and confident, "I am serious, tell me, Gusin."
Gu Xin was stunned. He actually didn't understand why these guys came to him, but Eliorg's words made him realize that things were not simple.
He quickly flipped through the book of answers in his mind. As the information became clearer, the shock in his heart became more intense.
He glanced at the cat portrait in the spiritual domain, and his expression became more and more exciting.
Thousands of words finally converge into one sigh: Led by Eliog, this group of demons are really too bold!
But Eliorger didn't feel anything at all, and continued: "I can't hide it from my brother anymore, I have to make some preparations."
Gu Xin stared at Eliorg and replied in a cold tone: "Your question does not require any mana to be wasted. The answer is that you will definitely lose. None of you together have any chance of winning."
Eliog was stunned after hearing this, and the four demons behind him also took a deep breath involuntarily.
Although they didn't think they could win, Gu Xin's decisive assertion still shocked them.
Is the eldest brother's strength really so overwhelming? We are both his father's children, so why is the eldest brother's strength so terrifying that it makes people despair!
Eliorg couldn't help but say, "We still have our third and fourth brothers."
Gu Xin shook his head and said, "Third Brother is so lazy, he only knows how to save energy all day long. How can you expect him to help? As for Fourth Brother, ask yourself, will he stand by you?"
Eliog's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but think to himself, what Guxin said is true.
The third brother is too lazy. The fourth brother is more inclined to be neutral, and is likely to surrender directly. Not punishing them in return is a kindness to them.
Maybe you can try to win over the second brother?
The second brother did fight with the eldest brother. But would the second brother be willing to help them? The possibility was slim. So, were they really going to sit there and wait for the eldest brother to beat them?
The fear in Eliog's heart does not only come from the impending "beating", but also from the fact that after being beaten, his eldest brother might throw them into the infinite trial that the demons tremble in fear.
He had personally experienced the horror of Infinite Purgatory. It was a very cruel trial. He didn't know how many layers of skin he had shed in it. He practiced hard to the maximum level before he finally gained the recognition of his eldest brother and got the opportunity to walk out of the trial.
Before this, He was still optimistic about the seriousness of the situation, but as things gradually developed, the fear in His heart became more and more intense!
Now I am a little afraid to face it...
Seeing Eliog racking his brains to think of a solution, Valifor felt helpless and advised: "Eliog, don't think about it anymore. What is coming will eventually come. Let's put this problem aside for now."
When Eliorg heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he could only remain silent. Is it too late to start practicing more now...
He couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart, but he also understood that in the face of the impending Big Brother's storm, there seemed to be nothing he could do except practice more.
Bachin looked at Elioge's back and sighed, "Stupid brother." What else can you say now? As the first offender, is he finally getting nervous?
Buyer also sighed, "Stupid Brother Fifteen, you are just dreaming."
Only Moragos' eyes lit up, as if he was inspired by Eliog's bravery.
Valive shook his head. As the most stable demon present, he looked back at Guxin and explained, "Elioge has been a little impatient recently. Just pretend you didn't hear it."
Gu Xin thought it was too late. He was so shocked that his magic even automatically recorded this.
However, Valive looked around and said, "It's a long story. Let's go to another place first."
"good."
-
Meanwhile, Oedipus Empire.
The Devon cat Lelakin got up early and cleaned the yard with the short-legged cat, and took care of the flowers and plants in the yard. The two demons worked well together and quickly cleaned the yard thoroughly, even the floor was brand new.
Just then, a cold wind suddenly blew, bringing a biting chill.
The Devon cat was startled by the cold wind, his body trembled slightly, and the small broom in his hand stopped.
Seeing this, the short-legged cat ran over and asked with concern: "Brother Lelakin, meow, what's wrong with you, meow?"
After saying this, He immediately supported Lelagin.
Normally, with their physical constitution, even if they are in a bad condition, they will not be chilled by a gust of wind.
What's going on? The shorthair cat frowned.
The Devon cat lowered his head and eyes, as if trying to regain his composure, and then whispered, "It's okay, meow."
"Really, meow?" The shorthair cat was still a little worried and looked at Lelakin anxiously.
Lelakin nodded slightly and said, "I'll just go back and rest for a while, meow, don't worry meow."
After saying this, He slowly turned around and walked towards the cat's nest in the dormitory.
The little dwarf cat looked at his brother's back, the worry in his eyes still unabated. What happened to brother Lelakin? Meow.
Around eight o'clock in the morning.
Xiu Si crouched in front of the cat bed, with deep affection in his eyes. He whispered softly, "This is not a simple amnesia. It's more like the memory was taken away by some force, or maybe He took the initiative to strip away the memory."
The big orange cat nearby was shocked when he heard this.
Could it be possible that my father could sense such subtle situations?
"But Brother Lelakin has always cherished his memory, meow. He can't easily take away his memory, meow."
The dwarf cat's paws rested lightly on the edge of the cat bed, its head poked out slightly, and its chin rested lightly on the edge of the cat bed.
In the days when they lost their father, memories became the most precious thing about their father. How could they easily strip him away? Maybe there was a demon that sealed the memories, but when it comes to stripping...
Xius nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Yes, I think so too. Perhaps He chose to do this in order to achieve a more important purpose."
The short-legged cat raised his head and asked, "What's the purpose, meow?"
Xius looked thoughtful, "I want to know too."
He added a blanket to little Devin to make sure he was warm and comfortable. Then he made some small clothes for him to wear when he woke up.
The little dwarf cat stared at him intently. He was a stupid demon with a dull mind, so he might not be able to think of anything, but...
Daju fell into deep thought, trying to think about the real reason why Lelakin stripped his memory.
A few minutes later, Daju really thought of it, and then told his guess to the group of cat-headed demons.
Bryce: "Regarding Lelakin's matter, I thought of a possibility."
Amon, who always responded quickly, immediately asked, "What's the possibility?"
Bryce was silent for a long time, his eyes unusually solemn, as if he was about to say something very difficult to accept.
He hesitated a lot, but finally chose to speak, slowly saying: "Known information: 1. Before Lelakin went to the land of the elves' ancestors, he told us that he was going there to find his father; 2. Before Lelakin went there, he had been with his second brother; 3. The second brother was the first demon to find his father; 4. Lelakin mysteriously lost his memory, and his second brother stayed in the dream to maintain a certain cosmic magic."
Amon fell silent. He was originally writing history, but his pen stopped on the paper, spreading a thumb-sized amount of thick ink. His pupils gradually shrank, and he thought of a possibility.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the round table, Butis was writing halfway when he saw that Amon looked unhappy, and he also took a look at the situation of the group of cat-headed demons.
Beelzebub was only about ten meters away from them, lying on a large sofa covered with a woolen blanket, with an ancient book covering his face. He seemed to have noticed something, and slowly sat up, letting the book slowly slide off his face, revealing an extremely shocked look in his eyes.
Beelzebub was always calm, and most things in this world could not affect him. However, the possibility hinted by Bruce shocked him so much that he almost lost his composure.
Impos, who was only two steps away from Beelzebub and had just walked over to move the books, was the last to realize the problem.
After he realized this, his whole body shook violently, his hands loosened, and the books in his hands fell to the ground with a clang, becoming the only sound in the dead silent library.
After reading the information listed by Daju, they all thought of a possibility.
A possibility that would shock all of their demons and shatter their cognition.
That is, the resurrection of his father was most likely achieved by the collaboration of his second brother Agares and Lelakin. As a price, Lelakin had his memory stripped away, and his second brother has been trapped in a dream ever since.
Lelakin's memory is probably the foundation for his second brother's cosmic magic.
The cosmic magic that my second brother was maintaining with all his strength was most likely my father himself.
They previously thought that the second brother could only appear after their father fell asleep, and they had always wondered why. However, there was a huge blind spot in their thinking.
Yes, the truth is most likely exactly the opposite.
——[Father can only appear in my second brother’s dreams].
Instead, the second brother can only appear in his father’s dreams.
The second brother cannot wake up because if he wakes up, the dream will be over and the cosmic magic will become ineffective.
Father is my second brother’s dream.
Once my second brother wakes up, my father will disappear.
Thinking of this, the library fell into dead silence. All the demons lowered their heads, and some clenched their fists.
The atmosphere was extremely tense.
Normally, they would never frown when faced with cosmic crises, but the mere possibility of this was enough to make them almost unable to hold on, and their hearts were overwhelmed by great sadness.
However, their brains continued to analyze this possibility based on the previous intelligence.
Especially the various actions of my second brother.
Then they thought of it.
The reason why the second brother chose to blur his father's perception of reality was to ensure that the dream could remain stable, to prevent his father from noticing any abnormalities, and to prevent his father, who was the core of the dream - the dream itself, from waking up unexpectedly.
In this dream constructed by magic, Lelakin's memory became the magical cornerstone for shaping the image of his father. It was Lelakin's memory that condensed into the image of his father in the dream.
Remember the "memory beasts" that appeared before? They can read the memories of individuals and recreate the corresponding characters based on these memories.
Yes, it’s the same principle as the Memory Beast’s innate skills.
When they realized this, their faces instantly became extremely ugly.
Yin Bos' pupils trembled and he almost lost control of his body due to shock. He shook violently and even his breathing became rapid.
His forehead was covered with sweat and he bit his lower lip.
The reactions of his fellow countrymen were not much better than His.
Butis smashed the pen in his hand, his snake pupils flashed with a fishy light, his eye sockets turned red, and his trembling body revealed the violent fluctuations in his heart.
Amon, who was usually moody and regarded the world as a game, lowered his head and tried his best to control his reaction, but he still couldn't hide his hesitation.
Even someone as proud and calm as Beelzebub now looked confused and helpless.
They seemed to have returned to the day when they lost their father. The abyss collapsed, lightning covered the sky and the earth, madly taking revenge on the world, but the father they lost might never come back.
When Bryce saw that the cat-headed demons did not respond for a long time, he knew that they must have thought of that possibility as well.
In fact, they should have realized all this earlier, but perhaps because of some psychological effect, they more or less chose to deceive themselves and were unwilling to delve into the truth behind the dream.
Refusing to admit that it was a dream and not reality.
Moreover, the heroes themselves are magical beings composed of magic, so they don’t think so much.
“…”
“…”
The atmosphere in the group chat became silent.
This sudden speculation was like a bolt from the blue, catching all of them off guard.
It was too terrible, too hopeless, depriving them of the last glimmer of hope in their hearts.
They couldn't help but wonder, could it be that their father had never really been resurrected?
What they have seen so far is just a memory created by the second brother and Lelakin, not the father himself? Although this memory is so real and so vivid, it is ultimately just an existence in the dream, not the real father?
This cruel reality was unacceptable to them, and only loss and pain continued to grow in their hearts.
At this time, the little cat watering the flowers in the garden froze and the kettle fell from its hand.
A long time. In the library.
Butis refused to believe this speculation. He slammed his fist on the table, his eyes cold and he said viciously: "Nonsense, I don't believe it anyway. My father is back, and no one can deny this."
"But……"
"No buts!"
Butis was furious, furious as never before, veins on his forehead were throbbing and his face looked like a demon.
Amon also spoke up, and said calmly: "After all, this is just a possibility. We don't need to care too much. What if we are just overthinking it?"
Inbos looked at Amon.
Beelzebub remained silent.
The chat group fell silent again.
At the same time, in the bookstore, tears were falling from the eyes of the little dwarf cat, and they were dripping onto the floor like little pearls.
Bryce, who was usually so talkative, became quiet now, with his brows furrowed and his face heavy.
Just at this moment, a familiar and kind voice suddenly sounded behind them: "Selene, what's wrong?"
I don't know when the father came behind them. Maybe he noticed that something was wrong with them, so he came over to check on them.
The little dwarf kitten shuddered violently, and tried hard to hold back his tears. Not wanting his father to see him crying, he tried to respond with a normal "meow".
He seemed to be saying: Dad, wait a minute, I'm cleaning the room, meow.
“Is that so?”
Hughes stared at the backs of the two cats.
The big orange cat turned to look at Zeus, but the little dwarf cat did not. He scratched his body with his claws and lowered his head, as if he was pondering the pattern of the floor.
Hughes noticed the freshness and cleanliness of the courtyard, as well as the neatly trimmed flowers and plants.
In fact, he told them that he would be the one doing the housework, but the children were very stubborn in this regard and seemed to like housework very much, so he just let them do it.
but……
Hughes looked at the back of the short-legged cat, his eyes thoughtful. Is he really okay?
Fortunately, he didn't ask them anything else.
Otherwise, Daju really couldn't calm down.
The big orange cat stared at the young man's back and couldn't help but stretch out its claws, but then it suddenly became panic-stricken, as if afraid of breaking the dream, and did not dare to follow him.
The big orange cat was silent for a few seconds, then turned to look at the little dwarf cat, only to see that his brother was crying, the cat hair on his face was sticky, his body was shaking, and he couldn't suppress his meowing.
Daju's heart tightened, and his sense of responsibility as a brother immediately burned. He suddenly rushed forward, held the little dwarf cat's face from both sides with his paws, made the little dwarf cat look into his eyes, and said in a loud voice: "Don't cry, Selle, father must not be a dream, not a memory!"
“Meow…”
The little dwarf cat's eyes were shining with water and his eye sockets were red.
He was stupid and didn’t know what was going on. If his brothers hadn’t told him, he would still know nothing. Although he would rather know nothing now.
Daju stroked his head and patted his back comfortingly, saying softly, "It's okay, don't underestimate Second Brother. Even if Second Brother misses father, he won't create a false memory to scare us."
The little dwarf cat was stunned, stopped trembling, raised its face and looked at the big orange cat eagerly.
"My father is a real father, there is absolutely no doubt about that."
The big orange's voice seemed to contain the power of words, with a strong appeal, it comforted the little cat.
The short-legged cat was stunned and said, "Really?"
Daju laughed out loud, "Really, really, just now the brothers were just thinking about something else. We have been with our father for so many days, don't we know whether he is a dream or a real person?"
The little dwarf cat nodded and said seriously: "Yes meow, father is father meow!"
He was unusually tough, his claws clenched into fists.
At this time, the cat-headed demons also reacted.
Then, Samkina popped up and @ed all the demons.
Samkina said, "Everyone, please stop arguing. Lelakin's memory should be a medium for finding my father, not for shaping a memory. You have to believe that my second brother Agares would not play such a big joke on you. The father who came back is our real father, but he is not complete yet, so my father's level is lagging behind, and my father's system has not recovered."
One word awakened the dreaming demons. They gradually reacted.
Malbus took over and continued, "Don't think too much. Don't you know how powerful your second brother is? How could he go to so much trouble just to immerse himself in a dream and create a memory to comfort himself?"
Having said this, hope returned to their eyes.
That’s right, the wise second brother would never indulge in dreams and abandon reality.
"Fifth brother is right," Inposs analyzed, "Father is not a dream, he really exists. Dreams should be the means used by second brother to construct reality! Second brother found father through dreams, not using dreams to shape father's memory."
Samkina: "It is well known that the dream space is huge, even more vast than the reality. We searched the abyss for our father but couldn't find him. We searched the continent and the subspace but couldn't find any clues. But why didn't we think of it? Isn't there another place?"
Malbus: "It's a blind spot in thinking. We are too stupid to even think of the possibility of a living person entering a dream. Father didn't fall into the depths of the abyss, but into the depths of the dream. Our omniscient second brother can see the entire continent and the entire universe, but he may not be able to see all the dreams."
Amon looked at the arguments one by one, and the turmoil in his eyes gradually subsided. He also said, "Yes, this can also explain why Agares hypnotized his father."
Butis took a deep breath and said, "My second brother hypnotized my father to strengthen that cosmic magic."
Every time He appears at night, it is to strengthen His magic.
Malbus nodded and sighed, "I think it's almost certain. It's really troublesome to have a second brother who is so powerful."
Samkina said calmly, "But at least the second brother succeeded in finding his father, right?"
Whatever the means, this alone is enough.
As long as my father comes back safely, that's enough.
He, they only have this hope. Agares has done it, but it will take time to maintain it.
Beelzebub calmed down and immediately entered a thinking state, "But it seems that the magic is not yet completed."
Samkina agreed, "Yes, if my second brother's magic was complete, then father should be at the [proper level] now, not just level 45."
Butis said: "All of the above are recognized. However, our father is also working hard to upgrade himself."
Malbus suddenly had an idea and exclaimed, "Ah, I understand now. This cosmic magic is probably two-way! My second brother has laid all the conditions and created a good environment, but it still requires my father's own efforts to truly complete that cosmic magic!"
This statement shocked all the demons in the group, even Samkina hadn't thought of it yet.
Malbus has the power to see through the truth. He often suddenly sees the truth and speaks out insights that no one could have imagined.
My second brother's cosmic magic...does it require my father's cooperation to complete?
Bryce suddenly realized and said in surprise: "Come to think of it, I can feel that my father has changed these days, especially in his mentality."
They all have some sense of this.
Their father used to be very Buddhist. On the one hand it was because of his personality, and on the other hand it was because he had no other choice.
The Creator profession is really useless in the early stage. You can't compare with other heroes at all. You have no space and means to struggle, and you can't help but be a Buddhist. Because you have no talent and no strength, the more you struggle, the more painful it will be. Telling yourself to treat the current situation in a Buddhist way can make you feel better. "Buddhism" is also helpless due to internal and external reasons.
Therefore, my father was willing to be a mortal and always maintained a mortal mentality.
Back then, my father tried very hard to survive, but he didn't think much about becoming stronger. It was because he knew there was no hope for him to become stronger, so he basically gave up, or placed his hopes on things outside of himself.
However, after returning, my father gradually changed.
My father studied magic and alchemy, and he would think and learn whenever he had free time. He had an obvious change in mentality, from being content to be a mortal and a vassal of other heroes to moving towards being extraordinary.
Is there any pressure from outside? Yes, a little, because in the past month, major events have occurred frequently and my father has had to make progress amidst adversity.
But it is more of my father's own idea. He wants to become stronger and become extraordinary.
At this moment, they suddenly understood why their second brother Agares deliberately created this "environment".
People are inevitably lazy. If you just woke up and found that your children have become extremely powerful, would you still want to become stronger? If you can rest assured that you can rely on your children, would you still want to change your mindset and move towards the path of extraordinaryness?
At least with my father's previous Buddhist mentality, it would be difficult for him to think so.
That's why my second brother added cognitive blurring magic to prevent my father from knowing their identities so quickly.
It is estimated that this is also to conceal their dark history and provide time for them to rewrite their history.
To be honest, if there was no foreshadowing that they all became big demons, my father would definitely be shocked and unable to accept it.
The second brother should try his best to avoid affecting his father and prevent him from being upset.
Because my father's condition is probably not completely stable yet, my second brother needs to stay in a dream state to maintain it.
By the way, when you put it this way, a lot of things make sense.
Including Agares's Riddle Demon.
The second brother should try to create a "normal state" and a "natural environment". If they know too much, they will inevitably let it slip.
I'm not afraid of other demons, but I'm afraid of Buyer's loud speaker.
What did Buyer say? How could it be hidden?
And Sele couldn't hide his thoughts either, his eyes revealed everything he was thinking.
And if you think about it carefully, my second brother told them to fight less, but they still fought, and fought for thousands of years.
In the eyes of the second brother, they are probably evil demons with a bad record who are difficult to trust.
It's useless to say anything.
Second brother, what a fool... In order to accomplish great things, you have to hide the evil from the family first, right?
Although it is also possible that the second brother just forgot to say it.
My second brother's stupidity always happens from time to time...
In just one hour, their moods fluctuated dramatically, from panic to peace of mind, and they slowly figured out many things.
Father has returned, but not completely. If you are not careful the dream will be shattered, so you have to be very careful.
At the same time, they also knew what they should do most.
We must protect our father, create a good environment, and seriously rewrite history. We cannot be lazy.
Seeing that they almost understood, Samkina continued, "That's probably what happened."
Malbus smiled cheerfully: "So, brothers and sisters can rest assured, especially you @Seleos brother."
Celeos had already wiped his tears by this time, and replied, "I know, meow, Malbus-nii-san, meow."
They were all relieved.
Although there are still some things that are not clear, such as how the second brother found his father, and why his father needed to use cosmic-level magic to return to the human world.
No matter how confused you are, you have to take it step by step, and they will know what will happen next.
Amon breathed a sigh of relief. "By the way, Fourth Brother, what's the situation with the Elf Palace in Lelakin? Are you still there?"
Samkina: "I'm still here. I want to solve the Rubik's Cube and enter the Elf Palace. I want to know what's inside before I get out. But I roughly know that there should be a medium related to the cosmic magic inside."
Inbos suddenly realized: "Is that why Lelakin has been staying in the Elf Palace?"
Butis was a little surprised, "He actually wanted to protect the medium."
Bryce: "Haha, but it all makes sense now."
At this point, Amon snorted coldly, sat back in his seat, folded his legs, and sat like a cat. "It doesn't matter if you tell me. I'm not a sieve devil like Buyer. Second brother is really too polite."
The other demons thought, you are the only one who needs to hide the most, God knows whether you will play by the rules.
"Whatever, I'm glad you're okay."
Inbos felt relieved and picked up the books that had just fallen on the ground one by one.
Beelzebub also lay back down, with the ancient book covering his face, and said quietly, "Okay, stop arguing. I want to think about the issue of rewriting history."
Meanwhile, in the bookstore.
The little dwarf cat was very happy, and he ran to his father's study in two or three steps, and lay down by the door, staring at people with his light green eyes, as if he wanted to imprint people in his eyes, as if to say, I will protect my father well and won't let anything happen to him, meow.
The awareness in His eyes grew stronger and stronger. He was completely unconscious, but His power was constantly recovering.
Xiusi seemed to sense something. Halfway through reading a book, he suddenly raised his eyes and met the eyes of the dwarf cat.
The little cat trembled for a moment, as if frightened, but the next second, he bravely ran over and rubbed hard against his beloved father.
Xius didn't know what happened, he just knew that his Celie seemed to be in a better mood again.
Well, I'm glad you're okay.
He stroked His soft cat fur and looked up to see Big Orange coming over.
"Haha, now that you're here, do you want to study with daddy today?"
"Meow!"
They seemed happy, even excited.
"Shall we get started then?"
-
Meanwhile, in the subspace.
Due to "network delay", the six demons are still unaware of the situation of the cat-headed demon group.
And Gu Xin flipped through the book of answers and came to almost the same conclusions as the other side.
Gu Xin himself was shocked and didn't react for a long time.
My father’s return, my second brother’s cosmic magic… and so on. There are so many things to do.
It took the demons present, including Valif, Eliog, Bachin, Buyer, and Moragos, a full hour to digest the information released by Guxin.
Gu Xin knew everything, but his magic power was limited after all, so he stopped talking about cosmic magic.
Gu Xin said: "My magic power is overdrawn. It will take at least three days to recover to normal."
The five demons were still in shock and hadn't reacted yet. Moragos almost fainted because there was too much information and it was beyond his understanding.
Buehl was almost in a trance, gesticulating in the air.
Bachin was fine, he was taking notes from beginning to end, and he was very calm, with the expression of a tech geek.
Valive was in deep thought, his eyes serious.
Eliog thought of another thing from a tricky angle.
When the eldest brother and the second brother fought, could it be because the eldest brother did not agree with the second brother's risky dive into the dream world?
Very likely.
The eldest brother knew that the second brother was going to do this, but he didn't know that the second brother had already implemented it and was half successful.
Eliog nodded, his eyes showing sudden enlightenment again.
At this time, Gu Xin didn't care anymore and interrupted Eliog's thoughts, saying: "By the way, Eliog, why did you turn into a cat in the first place?"
Now almost all of my compatriots are cats, and I would feel out of place if I’m not a cat.
Eliog said seriously, "Of course it's because I think my father likes cats."
Gu Xin was surprised and asked, "Did my father say that?"
Eliorg said seriously: "Have you forgotten that father did not create everything according to the Key of Solomon? Father loved my eldest brother the most and often slept with him. The original prototype of my eldest brother was——"
