Chapter 138
Their father was missing! They were immediately panicked.
But Vashak could tell at a glance that his father had entered the bottom layer of the dream.
"Father went to find Agares."
Vashak walked to the place where Zeus had just been, touched the air with his hand, and vaguely felt a breath.
There is no doubt that my father went down.
Malbus also felt it and lowered his head and said, "This is Agares's territory, so father should be fine."
Amon nodded, trusting Agares instinctively.
Lelakin frowned slightly.
Vashak said, “Isn’t that right…”
But Sidi expressed his concern and frowned, saying, "It's hard to say."
"What's the meaning?"
The four demons all looked at Sidi.
In fact, they all had some concerns in their hearts, but Agares was their most trusted brother. Everything that had happened so far was caused by Agares, and it was probably Agares who prompted their father to go down.
In the dream, a wind suddenly blew, ruffling Sidi's long hair.
Sidi looked at them and said in a deep voice: "Agares always guides father. Like my eldest brother, he is the one that father relies on the most."
Malbus couldn't help but ask: "So what do you want to say?"
Sidi's eyes dimmed as he spoke word by word, "Control. I'm worried that Agares is unconsciously controlling his father."
The words startled the demons. They were stunned.
Amon looked at Sidi steadily, "How could Agares do this?"
"That's why I said it, unconscious."
Sidi emphasized and used himself as an example, "You all have power and should understand what I mean. Like me, after losing my father, I was particularly sad for a period of time and unconsciously longed to be loved. The power was out of control in my unconsciousness, and everything around me fell in love with me."
As they listened, they frowned and exchanged glances.
Sidi's power is emotion, so when he loses control, he operates unconsciously. But what about Agares?
Agares is omniscient and omnipotent. What will be the consequences if his power gets out of control?
Sidi continued, "Agares is very wise. He always tells us what we should do and what we shouldn't do. He has a very clear sense of right and wrong, so he naturally wants my father to do the right thing."
Vashak raised his eyes, as if he had thought of something along the lines of Sidi's thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "And on top of that, He also possesses a cognitive tampering ability that can be called a bug."
Sidi nodded: "You can see that, my worry is that Agares will unconsciously control his father to walk on the [correct] path."
Being correct means not making mistakes, not failing, and not doubting yourself, feeling sad or worried, or even giving up on yourself because of failure.
No matter how you look at it, this is definitely a good thing, right?
But Sidi doesn't think so.
Absolute correctness is as easy for Agares as breathing. It is Agares' way of existence, and it is also His divinity, devilishness, and transcendence.
But his father was not Agares. Agares's existence was not suitable for a human father.
In Sidi's view, free will is one of the most important things for an individual, and anything that affects free will, even if it is parent-child or spouse, is worthy of questioning and vigilance, even if that external will is just trying to guide you to the right path.
However, the father would unconsciously rely on Agares.
Such a relationship... it's hard to say there are no problems. Sidi lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the deep dream at his feet, his face slightly dark.
"...Maybe you're overthinking it."
Malbus's thinking was relatively simple and he didn't realize how serious this matter was.
Vashak had never thought about this problem before. In the past, he might not even bother to think about it, but when Sidi suddenly said this... Damn, he even started to care about it.
And He also thought of a more important thing, are the choices and decisions made by his father so far really his personal thoughts? Will they be influenced by Agares' thoughts? Agares does not want his father to be troubled and in pain, so he may decide for his father on matters that should be decided by him personally.
To put it more seriously, Agares might have been manipulating his father unconsciously.
Compared to other demons, Amon might be the one who understands this the easiest.
Amon understood Sidi's concerns.
After all, their second brother is too powerful, and they dare not predict what he will become after his omniscience and omnipotence are truly awakened.
Amon turned his head and looked to the side, and asked, "Lelakin, what do you think?"
Lelakin paused, and his elf eyes narrowed slightly.
"You are the last demon to see Agares, right? Did He reveal anything to you?"
Amon asked.
The other three demons also looked over at the same time.
Lelakin recalled for a moment.
In his memory, Agares looked indifferent, looking out the window, and remained silent for a long time.
Before saying goodbye, the last words He said were:
"I hope this is the best option for my father."
The key word is “hope.” It seems like He is not sure either.
Lelagin recalled the entire conversation and told them everything.
“Did He say hope?”
They all had different expressions, and seemed a little unsure of what to do.
Sidi lowered his eyes, watching the endless changes in the dream, and said in a complicated tone: "Anyway, we can't interfere with what happens next."
They stood here, and what was beneath their feet seemed like a dream, but in fact it looked like a vast ocean reflecting the stars.
When he was young, there was no sea in the abyss, and even the river water was dirty black. He thought the whole world was like this, barren, ugly, and unbearable to look at. But his father smiled and told them that there were more beautiful places outside than the abyss, such as the sky and the sea, especially the sea.
It is said that it is a very beautiful place and you will never forget it after just one look at it.
He was still young at the time, and after hearing his father describe such beautiful things, he became fascinated and pestered his father to ask many questions about the outside world.
The Abyss is a cruel place, where the strong prey on the weak, strength is respected, and it is full of very low emotions. He was originally sensitive and perceptive, and he especially hated that kind of world. He was always irritable and wanted to attack something madly in his heart, otherwise he could not settle down. For him, the only cure at that time was his father. No matter how agitated he was, his father was always calm, as if everything seemed trivial or tolerable to him. He was very sensitive to emotions, of course, he could see that his father's calmness was half of his personality, and usually forced. In order to reassure them, his father always controlled his emotions and never let them feel uneasy.
Such persistence made Him unable to look away even more.
He liked stable things, and staying with his father seemed to calm him down, not being affected or controlled by the turbulent emotions of the abyss. At that time, his father was his only treasure.
Although He has 23 siblings, He never cares. He only needs His Father, and even now, His thoughts have not changed at all.
"Hey, Sidi, what are you thinking about?"
Sidi was halfway through his thoughts when suddenly, his carefree fifth brother walked in front of him and looked at him with a puzzled look.
Sidi frowned.
Malbus, however, was one step ahead of him, stretched out his hand and pinched his fingers, flicking his forehead unexpectedly.
Xidi took a step back, his face darkened, and he asked coldly: "What are you doing?"
"It's okay to be sad outside, but at home, you have to be a nice girl."
Malbus smiled brilliantly, his whole body shining with golden light, which was too dazzling.
Sidi frowned even more. Can the fifth brother change his bad habit of hitting the devil's head at every turn?
Vashak said: "In short, although we are worried, at this stage we can only trust Agares and his father."
"Yes."
Lelakin nodded, "I just tried it. Without Agares' permission, none of us should be able to enter."
"Let's put it this way. Sidi, you stay here and make preparations. You said that your power is effective against Agares."
Malbus looked into Sidi's eyes and ordered his brother around without any courtesy.
If that's the case, Sidi has no objection, as he was prepared to wait here.
The most important thing is, unlike them, he who had trained before can now be exempted from the training process.
Vashak saw the spark between them and said to Sidi, "We have many brothers and sisters in our family. If you have any difficulties, just tell us. Maybe we can find a solution. Can you rely on your brother more?"
Sidi paused subtly, finally realizing that they had all changed. "You were not like this before."
Except for Barbatos, few demons have real family love.
"Of course the devil will change."
Malbus is justified.
"It hasn't changed for more than 8,000 years, but it has changed in just one or two months?"
"Haha, it has little to do with the length."
Watching the two demons fighting, Amon suddenly said to Sidi, "Why, does the family warmth scare you?"
Looking from the side, it seemed that Sidi was a little overwhelmed by Malbus's enthusiasm.
What a pair of brainless and unhappy duo, maybe they can do crosstalk when they get together? Very good, the repertoire for the family meeting has been determined, right?
Upon hearing this, Xidi immediately denied it and said disapprovingly: "What's so scary about warmth, Brother Amen, you have changed too."
Amon smiled and didn't object to this. After interacting with these demons for more than 8,000 years, even if there is no brotherly love, there is love for familiar demons.
He looked to the left and found that Vashak had already fallen asleep on the spot, as if he was ready to guard the place.
Vashak said, "In that case, I will continue to guard here. Sidi can't leave anyway. Mal, Amon and Lelakin, see if you have anything to do."
Malbus turned around, sensed his true form in the Infinite Trial, and said, "I am about to enter the next stage. Can you leave this to Third Brother?"
"Okay, okay, go ahead."
Vassago spread his hands.
Malbus smiled, then turned around and opened the space. Suddenly he thought of something and turned to look at Sidi.
Sidi looked coldly.
Malbus narrowed his eyes and said, "Smile more. It's because you keep a straight face all day that people will think you can play Calabash Brothers."
Sidi was stunned and wondered what Calabash Brothers was.
But before He could complain, Malbus walked into the space and left, leaving only the last sentence: "Father, please tell me if there is anything."
Vassago nodded, but his yawning was a little unreliable.
Amon chose to stay and digest the power of chaos while watching how the situation developed.
Trying to do two things at once would definitely not be very efficient, but Amon insisted on doing so.
Lelakin originally wanted to stay, but he needed to stabilize his strength.
While Lelakin was hesitating, Vashak adjusted his sleeping position to a sitting position and frowned, "Well, there are many gods coming from the Creator God's side."
Lelagin was stunned.
Sidi suddenly asked, "Are you worried that you can't win?"
Vashak shook his head and smiled, "How is that possible? There are many ways. I have already found help."
"oh?"
Before he finished speaking, the "helper" suddenly appeared.
A circular space passage opened, and two gods walked out of it.
They are the Lesser Light and the Greater Light.
To be exact, it was the small light body that led the big light body here. The small light body was just a baby that could only crawl on the ground a month ago, but now it can walk and is walking in the void holding the hand of its biological father.
When he saw the five demons, the little light body affectionately called each of them "brother".
The expressions of the five demon brothers were all wonderful in their own way.
How to say it, well-behaved sisters are so rare.
Lelakin looked at them as they appeared, with a hint of surprise in his heart.
Vashak looked at the big light and said straight to the point, "It's time to speed up."
Hearing this, the Great Light Body transformed into a handsome man and answered Vashak.
"Okay, I'll help you."
As soon as He opened His mouth, His voice echoed with countless reverberations and carried a solemn and religious feeling.
Xidi said: "It seems that you know a lot."
The God of Time turned his head and looked at Sidi.
"Why did you choose to stand on our side?"
Sidi asked curiously.
The God of Time said, "Thank you for taking care of my daughter, I will repay you for your kindness."
Sidi found it even more incredible, because he didn't think that the gods of the Warp would have this kind of parent-child affection. According to the habits of the gods of the Warp, eating children or eating fathers is their divinity.
Vassago smiled and said, “It’s more than that.”
Sidi had a meal.
The God of Time nodded, "Yes, I think you should win, so I helped you."
Amon couldn't help but ask, "How do you say that?"
The God of Time replied: "The Creator God is cruel and indifferent. I feel defenseless. Most creatures in the Warp are the same as Him."
Vassago interrupted, "Are you so derogatory as to compare Him to the monsters that can be found everywhere in the Warp?"
The God of Time said with an unchanged expression: "At least in my opinion, there is not much difference."
"Ha ha."
Amon couldn't hold back his laughter.
The God of Time continued, "In short, what kind of divinity He is is not what I care about. What I care about is that He has made too many mistakes."
"Oh? You are not satisfied with the universe He created."
Sidi thinks very quickly and summarizes it directly in one sentence.
The God of Time looked at Him, nodded, and then said bluntly: "God of Emotion, I have seen you before."
Sidi was slightly stunned, shocked and not shocked. Yes, His power was easy to recognize, and could only be associated with the God of Emotion.
"Don't mention my old name. I'm Sidi now."
He gave a reminder.
The God of Time nodded again, as if he didn't care about these details at all.
"Okay, let's not talk about this."
Vashak looked at the God of Time and said seriously, "Let's start compressing."
Compression means to compress the time in the infinite realm infinitely, so as to gain as much training time as possible for them. This is a miracle that only the God of Time can accomplish.
The God of Time turned his head and looked at the small light body.
The little light body blinked, still a little repulsive to his tyrannical father, but this was all for his human father.
He will cooperate!
The God of Time picked Him up and said, "Let's go."
Xiao Guangti said with full energy: "Okay!"
Having said that, they turned around and walked into the space-time channel.
Vashak looked at their backs and gradually gained confidence.
The Creator God is recruiting soldiers and horses, can't they do the same? Haha, we have magic veins too!
Amon on the side said thoughtfully: "What do you think is the key to the war?"
Sidi immediately replied: "Who is strong and who is weak."
Amon nodded, "Yeah."
After all, the other party is a god who has accumulated countless years of experience and is now integrating the power of the entire universe. He can't be a weakling in any way.
They have an invincible big brother, but they must also avoid holding back the big brother and never repeat the same mistakes.
"Amon, you should go to the Infinite Trial."
Vassago suddenly said.
"……OK."
-
The other party.
The Kingdom of Creation God is shrouded in dark clouds, and the ancient gods who once ruled the universe for tens of thousands of years also appear one after another.
All the twelve zodiac gods gathered and arrived at the central palace.
This scene is very similar to the sculpture behind the Church of Dawn.
Countless gods surround the only "Supreme God".
It was as if He was the king among gods, an existence that all gods should believe in.
Their terrifying divine power formed a huge divine vortex in the universe, causing space to distort and rules to collapse.
If someone looks up at the sky from the ground, they will see that the starry sky is brighter and more brilliant than ever before. It is not only dazzling, but can even blind people.
The Continental Human Alliance has begun to warn human nations, hoping that no one will act rashly during this critical period, especially not communicate with the gods.
A wandering poet boldly revealed the truth, saying that the "Supreme God" enshrined in that kingdom of God was the culprit that restricted human development.
How could people not be angry when they heard the news?
In just half a day, the Continental Human Alliance received petitions from all over the world. The contents were similar and all related to the expedition.
They are protected inside the planet and have not yet experienced or understood the terror of the enemy god, so they are able to volunteer to fight so enthusiastically.
Simon asked Norman Till, "Want to make it clear."
Norman Thiel shook his head, "No need, this is not our stage yet."
Although it is cruel, the reality is that human survival and destruction have nothing to do with humans for the time being.
Norman Thiel said: "What we should do most now is to record history and then learn and accumulate experience."
Simon's eyes were serious, as if he wanted to say something, but he agreed.
Normandyer walked to the balcony, looked up at the starry sky, and whispered, "If our ancestor god were still alive, He might think so too."
Simon was slightly stunned. "The first ancestor god of mankind?"
How long have we not heard of this term? It has been more than 8,000 years since the day when the first ancestor god of mankind was destroyed. Except for historians or historical researchers, who still remembers the first ancestor god of mankind?
Simon lowered his eyes and couldn't help but ponder for a moment.
Then, he said with emotion: "If He still exists, He will surely continue to pursue development and push mankind to evolve upward."
"I think so."
Norman Till couldn’t agree more.
"By the way, do you know where the heroes went?"
“I don’t know, but they should have their plans.”
"It looks like the Council Speaker is looking for them."
"Yeah?"
-
On the other side. In the dream. The light and shadow change.
"…Where is this?"
Xiusi finally stood firm and looked around, only to find that he seemed to have returned to the time when he had just traveled through time. Above his head was the madly burning sun, in front of him was an endless blood-red desert, and the hot wind blew on his face, as if he was in a barbecue grill, hot and painful.
The human country is close to the area ruled by the sun god, and there is a shortage of water and food, and the life is very difficult.
They had just come through and were faced with this kind of illusion.
It doesn't matter to Xiusi now, but when he revisits the old place, he can't help but feel a little touched.
He entered the dreamland in order to find Erzai, but why did he seem to have entered his own dream? Otherwise, how could he only see scenes from his own memories?
At this moment, a male voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Xiu, what are you doing here?"
Xius was stunned and turned around immediately, and saw the younger version of Wang Changer.
Wang Changer blinked and asked with a smile: "Are you looking at the scenery?"
Hughes nodded subconsciously.
"You really like to see the scenery."
Wang Chang'er turned around, put his hands on the city wall, and raised his head slightly, as if feeling the heat wave.
He was right. When he was in the present world, Zeus often traveled around to see the sights, provided he had enough vacation time and money.
He doesn't have many hobbies, except playing games and hiking to see the scenery. Moreover, in terms of work requirements, he also needs more observation and experience. At any time, experience is never too little.
"But I think the scenery is cruel and there is nothing to appreciate."
Wang Chang'er's eyes suddenly changed, and the tone of his voice became very complicated.
A few days ago, the giant beasts fought with humans, leaving countless corpses, and the blood of the dead dyed the desert red. They also participated in that battle, fighting bloody battles, and thought they were going to die several times. In the end, they were able to survive thanks to the protection of human luck.
That was the first time that Wang Chang'er personally participated in a war. At the beginning, he was panicked and couldn't accept it at all, but the situation was pressing and he was forced to unleash his warrior potential, fight against giant beasts, and fight against trolls.
The last film between the game and reality was torn apart.
Wang Chang'er witnessed the cruelty of the alien world and couldn't help but say: "The God who created this world...if He exists, then He must be a psychopath."
Houston paused and couldn't help but ask, "Really?"
"He created the world with contradictions, so there are disputes everywhere. If I have the chance to meet Him, I will punch Him at the risk of my life and tell Him that He is wrong, this world is wrong, we should not be like this, and the world should not be like this either."
Wang Chang'er's eyes were dark, revealing his emotions in a rare moment, which showed how disgusted he was.
Xius looked at Wang Chang'er, understood his feelings, thought for a moment, and replied: "I also think this is not the right way now."
Not only is the order between gods collapsing, but the gods themselves are also collapsing, and the latter is the cause of the former.
Xiu Si suddenly said: "This is a world that is being destroyed. It needs to be repaired."
Wang Chang'er looked surprised and asked, "How to repair it?"
“…”
Xius was silent and lowered his eyes, as if he was really thinking about how to repair it.
Wang Chang'er walked closer and continued to ask: "Xiu, the universe is so big, how do you practice?"
Xius was stunned for a moment and was about to look up at Wang Chang'er, but the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, turning into another scene inside the magic laboratory.
The person in front of him turned into Ye Qingyi.
"Brother Xiu, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Qingyi turned his head, still performing enchantment on his hands.
"Chang Er..."
Xius spoke subconsciously, but stopped himself.
Ye Qingyi tilted his head and put down the short knife in his hand, "Brother Chang Er, he just left and asked me to get you some magic props for self-defense."
Xius finally remembered and said subconsciously: "Thank you for your help."
"Need not."
Ye Qingyi smiled, and then frowned as if he had thought of something, and comforted him: "Don't mind what they say. We are seven heroes, and each hero position must have a reason for existence. They just don't know it yet. Brother Xiu is a creator. I think this is a very powerful profession. Is it considered a hidden profession in the game?"
In the first one or two months after traveling through time, people from other worlds often discussed their career issues.
Ye Qingyi knew that the people from other worlds privately looked down upon the profession of "Creator" and had taught them a lesson in public many times.
Hughes was very grateful for this.
And the next second, the scene changed again, and Ye Qingyi turned into Chen Lingxi.
Chen Lingxi ran towards him and shouted, "Brother Xiu, what are you doing here? Mingjie called you to play cards."
Playing cards, you mean...Mahjong?
Xius suddenly felt incredible, and the next second, the scene changed again, and Justin appeared beside him.
Justin slammed the table and angrily scolded the people in front of him, "Don't be too outrageous, you guys cheated, Brother Xiu, please judge, these two people are simply not human!"
Chen Lingxi laughed out loud.
Zeus thought he was experiencing an illusion, but when he came to his senses he realized that it was not the case. These were all real memories, the adventure time in a different world that belonged to the seven of them.
But this shouldn't be his memory, but... Agares' memory.
He already had a vague memory of the past, but Agares always remembered it, as if he had been watching over them since then.
His second child is too smart. Maybe it's because he is too useless as a father, so he has to be smart.
Thinking of this, the scene in front of Zeus changed completely, turning into a scene of the abyss.
At that time, the children were still young, many of them were not even as tall as his knees. They were either running around on the ground or flying around in the air. Some were quiet, while others were very active. Once he made eye contact with them, they would smile and call him dad.
When the time comes, Baal or Samkina will come and take them away.
The young ones are disobedient, like Bushong. When he was little, he would often grab Bal's tail and cry. It seemed that he was not afraid of being electrocuted at all, or he was used to it and had become immune to it.
Little Aini would even challenge Baal directly, imitating the troll's bared teeth and pretending to be fierce, which was extremely naughty.
Most of the time, Baal would take them away directly, but if they were too persistent, Baal would be unable to do anything to them.
Zeus still remembered that time when they all came to report that Baal's teaching method was too Spartan.
He was in a dilemma for a moment, and after Bal knew about it, he remained silent for three days and then handed the task to Agares.
Agares seemed very reliable at first, but under his command, they couldn't even last three days, and turned around to report that Agares' teaching was too brain-stimulating. The Jie faction even cried and complained that their brains were going to break.
He was in a dilemma again, and after Agares knew about it, he remained silent for seven days and then handed the task to Vashak.
Even though Bal and Agares didn't say it, they might also be hurt by being reported by their younger siblings.
The task of education was finally handed over to Samikina.
During this process, since he could neither fight nor use magic, he was almost useless and felt uncomfortable for a while.
Now that he has learned magic, the children no longer need him to teach them.
Xiu Si lowered his eyes, his expression slightly complicated. After a few seconds, he whispered to the void: "Agares, are you watching?"
The void did not respond.
The scene of the abyss suddenly became blurred, and the images of the children's cubs seemed to be separated from him by a thin film. He could neither see clearly nor touch them.
He looked for Agares in the picture, but could not find him at all.
In the family picture, all the kids are there, except Agares.
Zeus was silent for a moment, thinking that this was Agares' memory, so where should "He" be in Agares' cognition?
What does this memory mean to Agares? Is it important? Why?
Maybe there is a connection between father and son.
Hughes thought of it quickly.
"Are you still blaming yourself for what happened back then?"
"Are you still reflecting on whether the choice you made back then was correct?"
Xiu Si asked softly, and then said solemnly: "That was my choice. If there is a mistake, it is also my fault. You should not stay here. No one will not make mistakes in his life."
The dream was silent.
Suddenly, like rain falling on a lake, ripples gently appeared in the dream.
-
Outside of the dream, Vashak suddenly felt a surge of magical power.
