Chapter 168
However, now that things have turned out this way, the feeling of loneliness of being left out is even stronger, making him feel resentful and depressed.
Tlaloc was calmly watching the two, was actually feeling anxious and uneasy. She hadn't expected Bavan Shi to have finished watching the Jaguar and returned so early, which was not within her expectations.
Ugh, how come Bavan Shi is back so fast? And that's not all, what happened to the reply to the invitation I just sent?
Why aren't you saying anything? Answer me! Ugh, this is infuriating!
However, despite cursing inwardly, Tlaloc understood that in Favia's mind, Bavan Shi's status was probably higher than his own. Although he had only simply invited him to visit, it would likely cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so it was not a bad idea to talk about it later.
After all, there's still plenty of time; we can always find some time.
It was for this reason that Tlaloc continued to look at Bavan Shi with an indifferent expression that seemed to have never changed.
Only--
"Good."
To Tlaloc's surprise, Favia gave this answer.
"I will go."
"Hey, where are we going? Can I come along?"
"That's Forbidden Land for the entire city. It wouldn't be good for you, Xiaoxi, to go in as Fairy from another place."
"Hey, what's so special about this? Favia, you're from out of town too."
"Yes, that makes sense, but I'm the 'Sun' recognized here, while Xiaoxi isn't."
"... What? You're being unreasonable." Bawan Xi pouted. "Fine, I'll listen to you."
At that moment, the unexpected glance back into the man's azure eyes caused Tlaloc's heart to waver once more.
I still feel like I don't quite understand him, but that look in his eyes seems to indicate who can accept him, making you feel as if the other person is determined to be in the same world as you no matter what.
What he once considered 'Evil' seemed to him as if those things had never existed, and he did not feel disgusted by her because of them.
So for a fleeting moment, a hint of envy and Jealousy flashed in the girl's dark eyes as she looked at Bavanshi, but she suppressed it in the blink of an eye.
Then, Tlaloc put aside his negative emotions, carefully considered his words, and then spoke:
"OK."
"See you then, I'll be going now."
"Good."
Tlaloc and Bavan Shi spoke at the same time, but one remained seated while the other took Favia's hand and stood up as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"I heard from Tlaloc that you went to see the Jaguar. How was it?"
"Hmm, it's very good-looking, but it also looks terrifying."
Favia looked at Bavan Shi with curiosity and asked for her opinion, to which the Fairy girl replied with her honest opinion without any attempt to hide it.
"... But I don't think you look as good as Favia, I mean you're referring to that Jaguar Man Mask."
"Mine is only half full, it probably won't work."
Don't say that.
As if hoping not to say such a thing, Bavan Shi quietly placed her index finger in front of the man's lips.
The person I like, please don't doubt yourself, not even yourself.
If you ever encounter difficulties and lose faith in yourself, please remember me.
Remember the Fairy who was devoted to you, remember the Fairy you once brought happiness to, and then, please smile as you did in the beginning.
Even so, I still think you look good.
Indeed, Bavan Shi probably felt that everything about Favia, anything even remotely related to her, was incredibly beautiful to the Fairy girl.
Long ago, before she met him, she was bullied by the Fairy and didn't believe in her own worth.
She didn't accept herself, didn't accept 'Bavanshi' herself, and never felt that she could do anything or had any value. Her subconscious told her that this was the case, and countless dark emotions were hidden in her heart. But when she met Favia, the dark emotions in the girl's heart disappeared.
Now, she can confidently say her name in front of people.
"Yeah, actually, that's what I was thinking too. Maybe a half- Jaguar Man Mask would look better than a real Jaguar."
"That's right, that's exactly what I think. So why did you say that before..."
"I'm going to see how you react."
"You... never mind... but could you take it off? You've been wearing it for so long."
Why take it off?
"I'm not quite used to it yet..."
"There's nothing we can do about it; it can't be removed anytime soon, sorry."
Their overlapping shadows took the same step and began to walk in the same direction.
Tlaloc, seated in his chair, watched all this silently, his face expressionless, yet he couldn't help but clench his fists.
She only stood up after the two had completely disappeared from her sight and walked to one end of Tenochtitlan.
"This is truly speechless... Bavan Shi, you bastard."
Unable to contain himself any longer, Tlaloc, unusually, spoke aloud instead of just thinking it to himself.
This is also a way of expressing confidence, and perhaps it's because people feel more comfortable saying it out loud.
In conclusion, Tlaloc still believed that there was plenty of time and that it wasn't impossible for the truly exasperating Bavan Shissen to continue as he was.
The girl suddenly looked down at the Moon Lake to one side.
Unbeknownst to her, the Lake had become even clearer, and the creatures living within it were all active. As time went by, the Moon Lake would continue as before... She wished that Favia would come to see her soon.
Therefore, Tlaloc couldn't wait for Favia to come to him—he prayed to all things living in the Moon Lake.
Hopefully.
I hope that person can look back on me from the Future.
"Please hand over the Moon Lake to me completely."
Then, this was the first thing Favia said to Tlaloc when he was invited to the Forbidden Room in the Ancient City of Tenochtitlan.
248: Sun UO · Mimicry (1w)
As night fell, besides the original owner who knew about the room, there was also a golden guest. The two of them entered the pitch-black room, which was like the eternal resting place of the dead.
"... Eh?"
That's why, when Tlaloc brought Favia to this secluded room known only to him, upon hearing the man utter these words, he surprisingly let out a slightly endearing sound of confusion.
Please hand over the Moon Lake completely to me... What does that mean? Does it mean you're handing me over to him?
For a fleeting moment, the Black-Haired Girl wondered if this was a confession, but she quickly dismissed the thought.
Because she felt that the possibility of this was not very high, after all, she was just working hard on it.
Perhaps sensing Tlaloc's hesitation, Favia spoke again:
"In order to obtain the Leyline of the Moon Lake, I need recognition as the Moon Lake Incarnation."
He spoke with utmost seriousness, causing the Black-Haired Girl to blink involuntarily.
What... Just obtaining Leyline... I thought... Oh well... Is it really necessary to come all the way to a place like this to talk about something like this? You could have said it outside. I didn't invite you here for this, you bastard Favia.
"Of course, there's no problem with that." However, Tlaloc nodded quite seriously on the surface. "I, Tenochtitlan, Moon Lake, acknowledge you as my master, therefore the Leyline of Moon Lake are at your disposal."
As the words fell, the Od in the Leyline of the Moon Lake was drawn up in torrents.
Even in the Age of Gods, this Od was extraordinary; its quantity was naturally considerable, and its quality was completely different from that of other parts of the world.
This is natural, because the Moon Lake was the final resting place for the wandering Aztec, and the lake, named Tenochtitlan, was built on it, bringing peace and prosperity to mankind—a convergence point of "Human Order," that is, an energy field.
"... Favia, what have you done?"
For some reason, Tlaloc felt suddenly weak, as if something had happened at the Moon Lake that could rewrite everything.
"I want to mimic the 'Inner Sea of Stars'."
Favia's answer not only shocked Tlaloc, but also shocked everyone in the world who knew about Magecraft.
The Inner Sea of Stars, mimicry.
These two seemingly compatible but actually extremely difficult things were said so easily.
The inner side of the Planet lies on the skin covering its Planet, which is the back, back, inside, and outer side of the surface where Human Order live. It is a world that is unrelated to the constant decline and extinction of the surface world. Even though it has accompanied the changes in human history, it is a completely foreign land.
The essence of the Inner Sea of Stars is the "place of the heart" of the Planet, that is, "the Reality Marble exercised by the Planet itself". There is more than one "place of the heart", which manifests differently depending on the attitude of the Planet. For example, Avalon symbolizes a nature-oriented world that "does not want to be associated with the Human World".
Therefore, if one wanted to mimic the Inner Sea of Stars, it would seem impossible unless one were to be Planet in the first place.
Indeed, the only place that can support all that is both mysterious and normal in the world is a 'Planet'.
Tlaloc knew this perfectly well, and therefore, in addition to being shocked by Favia's words, he also harbored a certain degree of distrust.
Then, she sensed Od unlike anything else in the world, gathering from the 'Sun' on Favia's body, followed by traces of 'guns', pale light, spiraling there, seemingly mimicking a 'Pillar of Light' that stabilizes Human Order.
The entity that resembled a 'Pillar of Light' seemed to freeze time as if to block out the light. Afterward, Tlaloc sank into his own darkness, and everything flowed in stillness—flowing on that endless white canal where everything seemed to have been severed.
"This is going incredibly smoothly..."
Favia stood on the endless white canal and spoke softly.
Using all the abilities he has learned or acquired in various periods, he will mimic the Inner Sea of Stars of Planet.
The largest Magecraft Foundation of humankind during the Rome era, and Faith accumulated over many years that surpasses all Age of Gods.
The Norse Authority, which still defends the area near the moon during the Huns era, has been restored with the support of the Magecraft, resulting in the appearance of the World Tree, a symbol of the continuation of life, along with the resources provided by the Magecraft.
Finally, there is the 'Fifth Sun' of Central and South America today. Indeed, the Inner Sea of Stars requires Planet, but as the Fifth Sun contains all Deity gods of the three major the Americas pantheons of Maya, Aztec, and Indian, although it does not have the mass of a real Sun, it has a concept equivalent to that of Sun.
These three elements converged at the Leyline of the Moon Lake, which indeed allowed him to successfully mimic the prototype of the 'Inner Sea of Stars'.
Because the Moon Lake, as the convergence point of "Human Order" that brings peace and prosperity to mankind, also possesses Leyline consistent with the Inner Sea of Stars.
"I didn't expect you to be here too, Tlaloc. Is it because of your incarnation Moon Lake Incarnation?"
When Favia saw the bewildered Black-Haired Girl, she chose to approach her.
"Favia, what exactly is going on...?"
"In order to successfully mimic the 'Inner Sea of Stars,' I must first mimic the 'Sun.'"
"What's the meaning..."
"Tlaloc, you know about them, right? They are special spirits that can only be born in the Inner Sea of Stars. They are born from the memories and original landscapes of the Planet, and inherit them to continue dreaming of the Planet's surface. They are called UOs. UOs are created in the form of Primate of their time."
UO stands for Ultimate One. Strictly speaking, they are neither biological nor mineral entities; they simply exist as the "strongest" on Planetary Class. It's worth noting that UO refers to the strongest "individual" on a Planet, not "a group."
Tlaloc, being the Moon Lake, did indeed have this information in her mind, but in her opinion, it was too far removed from her life to care about. Suddenly, she seemed to understand something from Favia's words, her pupils contracted, and she shouted:
"You want to become a UO?! There's no need for that. Mimicry is too difficult. You might as well just kill those two!"
This is impossible, because the UO candidate for this Planet has already been chosen. Once the two princesses, one white and one black, have determined the true victor, the winner will be the UO at the pinnacle of this Planet. Therefore, in Tlaloc's view, if Favia wants to become the UO, it would be easier for her to simply kill these two.
Although it might be difficult, she would still go and kill them. After all, she had already handed over her Leyline to him, and there was nothing she could do about it.
"Killing Altrouge Brunestud and Arcueid, I probably can't do that..."
Upon hearing Tlaloc's words, Favia couldn't help but chuckle. It was the same advice Crimson Moon, whom he had killed, had given back then.
However, it's true that to become a UO relatively easily, the Inner Sea of Stars requires a Planetary Class concept and countless demands. It would be simpler to just kill the candidate and force the Planet to accept it...
After all, as long as you are strong, if you keep killing, sooner or later only the last and strongest individual will remain, a practice comparable to raising a venomous insect.
"Leave, Tlaloc. Return Xiaoxi to her Fairy Domain. With this shared Leyline, you can do it. Thank you."
"... No, what exactly do you want? Please tell me first--"
"In order to prevent the destruction of this Planet and the people who live on it, including the Spaniards who are about to invade, therefore—"
Favia stepped forward, letting Tlaloc leave, and then swiftly proceeded along the countless leaves sprouting from the white canal, their number far exceeding the total population of the Planetary Lifeforms, releasing a heat that would instantly engulf the entire Universe.
It mimics the Inner Sea of Stars Sun and stars, and becomes its UO.
That's what men refer to when they say they're doing this.
