Chapter 1914: Ancient Memory II (Failed to make fried chicken legs today T_T)
It was a huge stone pillar.
These stone pillars are carved with incredible and weird patterns, and their twisted lines outline some kind of mysterious and weird portrait. Light emerges from the sky and falls on the hexagonal base in front of you. Some kind of thick curtain blocks the light inside.
Existence, only a vague silhouette can be seen.
The shadow looked like a human being, but Fang Zheng knew very well that the shadow was definitely not a human being.
"I do not know who you are."
A voice sounded in Fang Zheng's mind.
"But I can feel the power you have. It is a power I am very familiar with. Who are you?"
"This question is not easy to answer, but for now? You can think of me as cleaning up the mess for the goddess of order."
Fang Zheng sighed and took a step forward.
"Nyarlathotep is not a good thing. I hope you can be more polite than it. In fact, since you claim to be omniscient and omnipotent, then I think you should understand why I am here. You have something I need, or
Either you give it to me honestly, or I have to kill you and get it from your body... Anyway, the result is the same."
"………………"
The world is immersed.
Then, the space began to tremble.
In just a moment, Fang Zheng felt that the world had changed.
At this moment, he is still him, but he is not just him, he has become one of countless others. He appears in different places and in countless backgrounds at the same time. He stands on Ni
By Muff's side, he accompanied her to look at the high mountains of Dunwich. He also stood on the bank of the Nile, watching the slaves shouting horns and pulling huge stones to build the pyramids. He saw the moment when humans ascended to the universe and witnessed it with his own eyes.
The trigger for the start of the world war.
But that's not all.
He - or rather they still exist, not only in human form, but also in other forms. For example, a soaring eagle, a giant whale lurking in the depths of the sea, a tiger and leopard catching its prey, and even a
A flower, a tree, an ear of wheat swaying in the wind, and soon the world began to magnify.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Zheng began to feel that he was outside the earth.
On a certain planet, he is worrying about how to hold a ceremony to praise the gods. On a certain planet, he is eager to destroy everything. He is an animal, a plant, an organic matter, and an inorganic matter.
The concept of Founder was infinitely scattered at this moment, falling into different places in different worlds on different timelines.
And gradually, he was no longer him.
However………
"hehe."
Along with the laughter, time began to reverse rapidly again.
How to make all of this not exist? It's very simple, as long as it never happened. Time flows, and everything in the world moves forward in accordance with the flow of time. Fang Zheng does not need to take Yog-Sothoth's trick at all.
, as long as he goes back in time to before Yog-Sothoth played tricks on him, then everything Yog-Sothoth did will have no meaning.
Because none of this has happened yet.
The flames boiled, and the dazzling brilliance penetrated the entire multi-dimensional space, as if a ray of sunshine leading the way tore through the darkness, bringing tangible order to the disordered world.
"——————!"
The space suddenly trembled. Fang Zheng opened his eyes and looked at the pedestal in front of him again. Behind the curtain, the shadows that originally surrounded the figure were now lying on the ground in a mess.
"...This is a test."
After a while, the voice sounded again.
"I don't think this is the right way. If you do it, you won't be you anymore."
"…………So, you can’t do it."
"certainly."
Fang Zheng nodded.
"The self and the world are contradictory. There cannot be an infinite self. When the self becomes the self, it will inevitably be separated from it. Sorry, I am not a philosophy graduate, and I have no research in this area, so if you come
If you come to discuss this philosophical issue with me, then I won’t disturb you.”
Fang Zheng knew what Yog-Sothoth had done. In fact, he could feel the divine power of the Goddess of Order just now. In other words, everything he experienced was also a method thought up by the Goddess of Order - dividing himself into countless parts.
, and then merge into the same countless chaos to achieve fusion.
However... Fang Zheng refused.
In his opinion, there is no benefit if this experiment succeeds. If it fails, he will be dead. No matter what, a consciousness needs to maintain itself. If it cannot maintain itself, it means death. And if it cannot maintain itself, it means death.
In order to merge into the chaotic chaos. But on the other hand, if you want to maintain yourself, it will be impossible to merge into the chaos.
Of course, this is also a contest of strength between the two sides. If Fang Zheng is not as good as Yog-Sothoth in terms of time control, then he will not be able to go back in time. It will be like a tug-of-war. The party with insufficient strength will be directly brought down by the other party.
He didn't even have a chance to get up. By then, Fang Zheng would really be doomed.
Fortunately, as a time dragon, Fang Zheng's understanding of time is not much worse than Yog-Sothoth, and he also holds the First Fire - the first flame that created the world and established the existence of order, which is not so easy.
will be separated. It can be said that in the "tug of war" just now, Fang Zheng used the First Fire as a beacon to fix his own existence, and then took back all the scattered timelines.
This was obviously not the answer Yog-Sothoth hoped for, but Fang Zheng didn't need to look at its face. As Fang Zheng said, if you want to give it, give it to me, and if you don't want to give it, I'll take it.
Finally, after a while, the figure behind the curtain raised his hand slightly, and soon, a shining square appeared in front of Fang Zheng.
Fang Zheng took the cube and squeezed it hard.
Soon, the scene in front of me changed again.
This time, what he faced was the infinite void and the goddess of order suspended in it.
"Experiment 321..."
Looking at the glass jar with black meat in her hand, the goddess of order's expression became obviously uneasy.
"I hope it doesn't succeed."
"…………?"
Looking at the uneasy expression of the Goddess of Order, Fang Zheng blinked and stared at her doubtfully. He wondered if he heard something wrong. To say that the Goddess of Order was worried about the failure of the experiment, was it fair to say that she was worried about the success of the experiment?
You have to worry about the success of the experiment, don't you just do it and it's over?
You did it three hundred and twenty one more times?
Does this goddess of order have a brain abnormality?
However, just when Fang Zheng was thinking about these questions in confusion, he saw the goddess of order throwing the glass jar she was holding into the void, then raising her hands and placing them on both sides of the glass jar. Soon, dazzling
The radiance emerged from the hands of the goddess of order and gradually transferred to the dark piece of meat sealed in the glass jar.
With the injection of divine power, the dark mass of flesh began to squirm more and more, twisting its body continuously, and the dense tentacles on its body also danced. Then, the divine light became more and more dazzling, as if it had been compressed to a limit, and then...
…
Fang Zheng's eyes were completely white.
When he opened his eyes again, everything around him had returned to its original state.
Damn, he is another person who can predict what will happen next time.
Seeing this, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly.
But no matter what, he finally got everything he needed, and all that was left was...
Fang Zheng took a look and found that his achievement progress was currently [8/?], so the remaining two, as expected, should be Shubnikolas and Azathoth.
But...what does the goddess of order mean?
Although the previous scene didn't last long, the meaning revealed in it made Fang Zheng a little uneasy. The goddess of order even looked a little desperate at that time. She seemed to be looking for an answer, but she didn't want to know the answer...
...Well, this gave Fang Zheng a very bad feeling.
As for the result...
Then we will only know if we find Shub Nicholas.
When Fang Zheng returned to the real world, he also frowned. Now he was sure that the goddess of order had done some experiment here, and the core of that experiment was the squirming mass of black flesh that Fang Zheng had seen before.
If Fang Zheng's guess is correct, then the lump of black flesh should be Azathoth. In other words, the goddess of order chose to create a guy like Azathoth in this world?
So why did she create Azathoth?
In the memory given by Nyarlathotep, the goddess of order seemed to be seeking a solution by creating Azathoth, but Fang Zheng also remembered that she said that it was risky, and this time in Yogthor
From the memories that Toss obtained here, Fang Zheng found that the Goddess of Order was obviously beginning to fear that kind of risk—perhaps she might have gradually realized the true meaning of the risks that she had been thinking about before?
However, it is a pity that these memories are intermittent and do not have a complete paragraph...
But no matter what, at this point, Fang Zheng could no longer continue to be leisurely and comfortable. He still had no news about Shub Nicholas, but Fang Zheng had his own method.
Even if he is unable to use prophecy spells, Fang Zheng is still a prophecy mage, and he is also a god. Sometimes, his premonitions are equally important.
After solving the Dunwich incident, Fang Zheng returned to his residence in Arkham and began to search for the place he was going to next on the world map. Now Fang Zheng is eager to find clues about Shub Nicholas, and
Obtain the last ancient memory from her, find out what the Goddess of Order has done, and what significance Azathoth has in this.
But this time, Fang Zheng's premonition led him to the east.
