Chapter 71 Doubts
The current situation is that the positions of gods in the real world are vacant.
"Could it be that the world's will in this fantasy world aims for godhood in the real world?"
Based on past experiences, those world wills possess self-awareness.
If that's the case, surely they must have a purpose in doing things?
That's very likely.
"Very likely?"
The system is not omniscient; it can only make inferences based on circumstances. Since these inferences are made without evidence, they cannot be 100% accurate.
"You're really meticulous."
Xu Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Since the world's will in the real world is dead, can't we try to obtain the world's core?"
The core of the world in the real world should be of a higher rank than the core of the world in the fantasy world, right?
Moreover, the world's will is absent.
It might be surprisingly easy to obtain.
The real world does not have a world core.
Xu Yuan: "?"
"Why does that fantasy world exist?"
[The system is unaware.]
Xu Yuan frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Is that thing something unique to the fantasy world?
What is the principle behind this?
Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I'll stop thinking about it for now.
Xu Yuan began to frown and ponder.
Without a doubt, this was a crossroads in his life.
Option one is to repair the world's barriers.
Passive defense.
Option two is to destroy the fantasy world.
Instead of addressing the problem itself, take the initiative to eliminate the people who create it.
Option three is to devour the fantasy world and become a god in reality.
People who solve manufacturing problems.
At the same time, it provides an extra layer of protection.
If a god is born again in the real world, any other problems that arise can probably be solved.
Well, I can only say "probably".
After all, didn't that god die before?
Although it is unclear how it died, the fact that it died means that it had its limits.
Like the system, Xu Yuan is also a meticulous person.
Although options two and three are different, the talent skills that need to be deconstructed to choose them are actually the same.
That is the ability to enter a fantasy world.
"Once you deconstruct the talent skill to enter the fantasy world, can you no longer deconstruct the talent skill to repair the world's barrier?" Xu Yuan asked doubtfully.
If possible, he felt that option one could be used as a fallback plan.
[Once the initial talent deconstruction is complete, the main skill will be fixed, and only one of the two can be selected. While you can continue to deconstruct the [Affinity for Reality] talent, these will only result in branch skills.]
However, if the host's talent is subsequently strengthened and its quality improved, perhaps it is possible.
Xu Yuan nodded noncommittally.
While option one carries the risk of future easing, are options two and three also risk-free?
No, their risks are not necessarily small.
First, the world's barriers are beyond repair.
Although if his talent could be enhanced and its quality improved, he might be able to deconstruct the talent skill of repairing the world's barrier, but that would certainly not be easy.
Moreover, it's only "maybe," not absolute.
Secondly, his probability of dying or failing in this process is significantly higher than that of option one.
For the system, the risks of options two and three are not necessarily lower than those of option one, and may even be higher.
But when the three options were just presented, it seemed to be hoping that he would choose option three.
Is it because the returns are higher?
What exactly is a system?
A remnant of the world's will?
A creation of the world's will?
A backup plan for the world's will?
Or perhaps something else?
Could there be lies among what it has said so far?
Xu Yuan suddenly thought of this question.
However, it doesn't seem to have any problems at the moment.
But it seems there's something she's hiding from him.
But it's not really a crisis of trust.
After considering for a moment, Xu Yuan said, "Option three."
Shall we begin now?
"Anything is fine. I'll have Little Crow protecting me. How about that?"
[Deconstructing the "Affinity Between Reality and Illusion" talent is a bit premature for the host. This deconstruction will be led by the system; the host can simply observe and experience it carefully.]
Xu Yuan felt that his growth rate was not slow, but he still had to deconstruct the [Affinity between Reality and Illusion] talent in advance.
It seems that the current situation is indeed not very optimistic.
At that moment, a chaotic mass of energy appeared in front of him.
It was the [Origin of the World - Void] in my inventory.
The cloud of energy drifted toward his body and then slowly merged into it.
Xu Yuan felt as if he were in the universe.
That universe is that mass of "Origin of the World - Emptiness", yet at the same time it seems to be itself.
He felt some kind of inexplicable connection.
It is a certain quality that is hidden in a corner of this universe, yet seems to be everywhere.
A certain quality that belongs to him, concerning both reality and illusion.
The following afternoon.
"Damn it! This is so hard to walk on! There isn't even a road in this godforsaken place!"
"It should be soon; the location shows it's nearby."
"We've been looking for them for almost a whole day, Kakimoto! We have no idea how Lemoto and the others ended up here."
"You should call him 'sir'."
"Huh?! Sir?! They're just fictional cartoon characters, living in these deep mountains like savages, a bunch of bumpkins."
"Shh!!! Shut your beak, Kakuta!"
"What are you afraid of? If you piss me off, I'll expose the organization's affairs to Claymore! Let's see who's afraid of who!"
"7
"Hey, Kakimoto, what do you think? Should we rip him off? The organization must have a ton of gold! Instead of taking that meager monthly pay, let's go for it and pull off a big heist!"
"It's better to be content with one's lot. I'm already very satisfied with my current compensation."
"Tch, coward."
Two men trekked arduously through the deep mountains and forests.
They entered the mountains in the morning and found their way here using the helicopter's location tracking.
But the location might not be accurate; I've been looking for almost a day and still haven't found it.
If we can't find it, we'll have to spend the night here.
Spending the night in the deep mountains and forests would undoubtedly make one feel very uneasy.
I wonder if there will be bears, tigers or anything like that.
Why don't we go back now before the sun sets and come back to look for it tomorrow?
But if that's the case, we'll have to walk the same path again, which would be very troublesome.
At that moment, Kakimoto, who was looking out from a high vantage point, shouted, "There seems to be something reflecting light over there!"
The two hurried over there.
After a long journey, we finally arrived at our destination.
What appeared before us was the wreckage of the crashed helicopter.
Kakuta and Kakimoto were dumbfounded and quickly checked it over.
"The pilot is dead."
"Mr. Lemoto is not here."
"Kakimoto, after Invincible Superman died, his body disappeared. Do you think it's possible that—"
"Don't talk nonsense. He's the leader of the Claymore Organization, how could he die so easily? Let's search the area."
The two looked around through their binoculars and suddenly paused, startled.
"Why does it look like there's a hanging basket over there?"
The two went over to check and found the basket was empty.
As he looked around in confusion, his gaze suddenly fell upon something, and he was startled.
Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be two little girls.
They have the same face, the same emotionless expression, and the same inorganic eyes.
The only difference was that one of the girls wore a white mask tilted to one side of her head.
"A greatsword?"
