Thirty seconds is a very short period of time, and it basically goes by in a flash.
Finally, under the threat of death, Old Bones reluctantly handed over the two most valuable pieces of World Item in his hands.
If not for anything else, just because I can no longer see this annoying guy in front of me who targets me everywhere.
[I am indeed a coward...]
Suzuki Satoru sighed at himself in his heart.
no way!
I can't fight, I can't escape, I can't escape.
What else can I do but accept my fate?
Are you really waiting to be killed?
Although this skeletal body is always cold now, there are neither intense emotions nor too strong feelings, as if everything in the world has become dull and boring.
But subconsciously, I still don't want to die and want to continue living.
Playing with the jade and cup he just got, Allen suddenly showed an expression of satisfaction on his face. "Wise choice! Congratulations, now you are finally free. You no longer have to carry that ridiculous Great Tomb of Nazarick The name Guild is led by a group of extremely evil, twisted, and pathological NPCs. But please remember, this does not mean that you can act recklessly. I have left enough power to the humans in this world. Once you cross a certain line, they will come to kill you."
"Do you think I'm still capable of misbehaving?" Old Bones said with strong resentment and helplessness in his tone.
In the battle with Coffin Dragon King just now, he had used a lot of paid props, and now he had very few trump cards left.
Especially the Shooting Star Ring that can "make a wish" three times without paying any price. Even when I think about it now, I still feel my heart bleed.
The most important thing is that when I escaped from Nazarick, I didn't have time to take away many things.
"Haha, that's true. Then let's say goodbye here forever!"
Allen chuckled and waved, then took Sakura and Vilnalasath into the air and quickly disappeared over the horizon.
Old Bones stood there with a complicated mood, and it took about seven or eight minutes before embarking on an unknown journey alone.
He did not return to the capital of the Orcs country that had been conquered and occupied, but directly cut off contact with the remaining Undead that he created through magic.
Because without the help of loyal and highly intelligent Guardians like Albedo and Demiurge, how could he, a social beast who graduated from elementary school and came from the lowest level of society, have the experience and ability to manage a country well.
Not to mention managing it well, even maintaining the most basic operation is probably difficult to do.
Unless everyone in the entire country is killed and turned into Undead under his control, it will only be a matter of time before riots and resistance occur.
After all, there is a strong inherent opposition between undead creatures and living creatures. This is an objective fact and is not dependent on human will.
Since you can't rule a country by yourself, it's better to just leave everything in the past and start over.
As long as there is no life-threatening ghost like Allen chasing him, Old Bones believes that he will be able to prosper in this world, which is at least a hundred times better than being a slave of capital on earth.
On the other side, Vilnalasath has also found a place called "Dragon Emperor's Tomb" from the soul memory of Coffin Dragon King.
The three of them soon crossed mountains and plains, and finally landed deep in an uninhabited swamp.
"Are you sure this is here?" Sakura glanced at the silent and strange environment around her and asked first.
"Well! This is it. Be careful! I can't sense any signs of animals or insects in this area. It's a bit strange for a large swamp with lush water and grass." Vilnalasath reminded in a serious tone.
"No! You are wrong! It's not that they don't exist, but that they were all expelled by some kind of force." Allen corrected meaningfully.
"Expelled?" The girl blinked curiously.
"Do you still remember the true history recorded by Magus? Especially King of Heroes Gilgamesh, which symbolizes the farewell of humans and gods." Allen asked with a half-smile.
"Of course! Because King of Heroes Gilgamesh chose humans between humans and gods, the gods had to abide by their agreement and go to Inner Sea of the Stars, completely disappearing from the face of the earth. By the time of King Arthur Artoria, mystery began to decline on a large scale, marking the complete end of the era of gods."
Sakura spoke out this piece of history that few people even in the magic world knew without thinking.
Thanks to Lord Lord El-Melloi II——Waver Velvet, she read a lot of books when she was growing up, including content that could directly enhance power and magical rituals, as well as secrets hidden in history. Some stone tablets can even be traced back to more than 5,000 BC.
Therefore, the girl is very aware of how many shocking secrets are hidden in the world she lives in, and even Maguss are actually exposed to only a very small part.
Allen nodded slightly. "That's right! In the world where you were born, there were actually two types of gods. One was the foreign god, just like Olympian Gods in Greek mythology; but the other was the local-born god, also known as the extension of Planetary Consciousness's touch. Right now, the place we are in is the birthplace of Planetary Consciousness's touch."
"What?! You mean... Dragon Emperor was born from Planetary Consciousness?" Vilnalasath rarely showed a surprised expression.
Because generally speaking, the so-called Planetary Consciousness actually does not mean that the planet itself is conscious, but refers to a certain strong resonance formed by the souls of this planet coming together after death.
Take the two major willpowers of Type-Moon world where the FATE series is located. The main body of Gaia is the gathering of other creatures besides humans, so it guarantees the existence of the planet itself. As for the life and death of just one or two species, it does not matter at all.
Alaya, which is composed of human souls, is an extension of this foundation. It must not only ensure the existence of the planet, but also do its best to avoid the destruction of mankind.
In fact, the two inhibitory forces here can both be called the will of the planet. They sometimes cooperate with each other. For example, they are highly consistent on the issue of protecting the existence of the planet.
After all, neither humans nor any other life form can survive in space without leaving the atmosphere.
But when it comes to protecting human existence, Gaia obviously has an indifferent attitude, but Alaya is just the opposite, placing it in a position that is as important as protecting the planet itself.
But no matter what kind of planetary will, the touch born from them, which is what mortals call gods, is by no means simple, and often shoulders a very important mission.
"I was just guessing before, but now I am basically certain. Otherwise, what kind of power do you think can summon gamers from another world to this world, and also allow them to obtain and retain all the data in the game, including something completely unreasonable like World Item?"
Having said that, Allen opened all perception methods including but not limited to Observation Haki.
About three to five minutes later, a giant object was discovered in a large bottomless pool. Its size was almost the same as the largest city in the world.
No hesitation!
He directly used Earth Release Ninjutsu to make this giant object rise from the ground.
The moment they surfaced, both Sakura and Vilnalasath were stunned by the spectacular sight they saw.
Because this was not the corpse or skeleton of Dragon Emperor as they imagined at all, but a super-giant dragon-like creature with golden light flowing all over its body and looking lifelike.
Especially the scales on the surface of the body have almost reached a terrifying hardness that is impossible to achieve with any magic metal.
"It's unbelievable! Is this guy really dead? How does it make me feel alive?" Sakura subconsciously clenched the Spear Staff in her hand nervously.
No doubt about it!
This is the strongest and most terrifying creature she has ever seen besides Allen and Vilnalasath.
"How is it? Do you feel it?" Allen asked Red Dragon next to him with a very calm smile.
The latter immediately responded, "Ah! I feel it! The body itself must be forged from Inner Sea of the Stars, just like the Sword of Promised Victory in Artoria's hand. It seems that you That's right, Dragon Emperor is indeed the touch of the planet's will. Unfortunately, its consciousness and soul have disappeared. Why does the Planetary Consciousness under my feet summon players from another world?
"I don't know! Maybe it's to speed up the progress of civilization, or maybe it's to end the current war in which various races are fighting each other. In short, the will of the planet is a very complicated thing. Even it itself doesn't know what it is doing. It just mechanically fulfills the greatest common denominator that constitutes the many wishes of its soul." Allen touched his chin and analyzed.
"That is to say... our exploration of this world ends here." Vilnalasath said with a hint of disappointment in his tone.
"There is nothing we can do about it. But this body forged in Inner Sea of the Stars is really an advantage for us."
As he spoke, Allen raised his hand and gently stroked the huge scales, feeling the unique texture that was completely different from any metal.
And he had only felt this kind of texture on Saber's holy sword that exuded golden light.
Vilnalasath licked his lips unceremoniously and demanded. "Give me a third! No! It's half! As long as it can be completely absorbed and digested, your and my defense will make a leap from quantitative change to qualitative change."
"Oh? Are you sure your stomach can digest it?" Allen raised his eyebrows in surprise.
You must know that strictly speaking, this thing cannot be regarded as a living thing at all, but should be classified as Divine Remains, or Super Doll. There is no genetic information at all in it, only highly compressed energy and matter.
His original idea was to use it as raw material to make some weapons, equipment, and props.
No matter what happens, you can use the power of Soul-Soul Fruit to create a soul and stuff it into it as War Puppet, just like the transformed Gargantua.
"Hmph! I can't do it all at once. I'll swallow it and store it in my stomach to slowly decompose, digest, and absorb it! It might take hundreds of years!" Vilnalasath said viciously.
Spend hundreds of years digesting such a behemoth?
It's a ruthless dragon!
"In that case, I can only wish you good teeth."
The words just fell!
Allen directly activated his ability and transferred the huge corpse to Azerath.
Vilnalasath was also unceremonious, and followed the teleportation, quickly enlarging his body size, then lying on the corpse and frantically biting off a piece of "meat", swallowing it without even chewing, closing his eyes and falling into a dormant state.
Because next, she had to mobilize all her strength to attack this piece of "meat", and she had no time or energy to do anything else.
"She is really obsessed with getting stronger." Sakura whispered with the corner of her mouth twitching.
"Hahahaha! It's not that she is persistent, but that I am persistent. Because to a certain extent, Vilnalasath is my clone, another self in the same subconscious." Allen laughed and shrugged.
"Now that the reason for the player's time travel and the true identity of Dragon Emperor have been found out, are we going to leave this world too?" The girl asked the question she was most concerned about.
"No rush! Give Artoria a little more time to let her completely resolve the last regret in her heart. You must know that changing a country cannot be done in a few days or months. During this period of time, you can do whatever you want. Whether it is traveling around the scenery, collecting knowledge, technology and resources that interest you, or living an ordinary life as an ordinary person." Allen gave his advice seriously.
As a Travelers, the reason why he was able to maintain his original intention and not lose himself was that he never truly separated himself from human society.
Quite the opposite!
No matter what kind of world you enter, you will blend in immediately and even find a place of your own.
"Then... how about we go on a trip together?" Sakura suggested with a slightly red face.
Just now, she suddenly discovered that without the two "threats" and "obstacles" Vilnalasath and Artoria, she could live a real two-person world with Allen.
When she thought of this, her heartbeat began to speed up involuntarily, and various warm, sweet, and even blushing intimate scenes constantly appeared in her mind.
[This should be considered a date, right? That's right! This is a date! cherry! You can come on!]
The girl cheered herself up silently in her heart.
"Okay! Then let's go on a trip."
Allen didn't notice the girl's strange reaction at all. He raised his head and looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance when the sun set. He happily agreed.
In his opinion, his tasks and missions in this world have been completed, and the remaining time is of course to relax and rest, while waiting for Game World to complete the construction of Northrend, raising it from the highest level of seventy to eighty.
In this way, Sakura got her wish, holding Allen's arm, and embarked on a journey that lasted several years and covered the entire different world.
