953. The protagonist is the one who involves the world selfishly and can make the world pay for it
"If we call the reincarnation of Lord Cavendish who wandered away after the death of the first Lord Cavendish, we call him [Cavendish II], and the reincarnation that returned after twenty years is called [Cavendish III].
So, let’s temporarily call the Excellency [Cavendish IV] who has been contacting me through the magic network system of Macrorealm Ark during the twenty-year gap.”
Meteora used magic to materialize four abstract magician images with different hair colors and costumes, and explained to Zhanshen:
"The relationship between the four Cavendish Lords is like four characters created by the same player in four different games, and the character's ability data can still be inherited from the previous game.
His power grows almost without limit, and his strength is beyond belief and cannot be measured.
From the establishment to the development of the Death Garden, he has supported behind the scenes in every aspect."
The void is not without danger, there is more than one cross-world group, and not all of them are friendly.
All kinds of terrifying evil gods who cannot understand human speech, as well as various high-dimensional creatures can be encountered everywhere in the endless void...
Without [Future Star Moment] to protect us all the way, Hongjie Ark may not be able to develop and survive the most dangerous entrepreneurial stage.
"only……"
However, Meteora recalled that she had been hiding this matter from Illya all these years, and had been hiding from her the fact that "the person she longed for was actually always by her side"... Meteora
Euler's conscience was really condemned.
But this "concealment" is the future Xingke's own wish.
Meteora, who was voluntarily entered into a confidentiality contract, could not tell the truth. She could only watch with the future stars, accompany Illya, and help her through the most painful stage of life level promotion.
This is also the real reason why other people in Macrorealm Ark have crazy murderous intentions and are unwilling to stay in the Death Courtyard for a long time, but only Meteora never avoids Illya.
——Of course, these things are not understandable to outsiders at all.
Facing the God-killing, all Meteora can reveal is:
"It's just that... the guardian of His Excellency Cavendish IV is a very casual being. The entire Court of Death is closer to a [toy] for him - it needs protection, but it can also be played with."
Zhan Shen's face was a little sad, and he said clearly: "So, with just a whim, can your Excellency change the fate of Hongjie Ark at will?"
"This is too..."
Meteora shook her head to interrupt Zhanshen and corrected:
"No, this is as it should be -
If we weaklings only enjoy the miraculous protection when we need it, and if we don’t go according to our own will, we will forget the kindness we have received, raise the flag of rebellion, and sharpen our swords against Lord Cavendish...
That’s too naive and shameless.”
"..." Zhan Shen was speechless for a moment. He felt ashamed of his anger just now and apologized shamefully:
"You are right. Lord Cavendish has no obligation at all and no reason to consider my feelings.
I have no qualifications or position to make irresponsible remarks on Mr. Cavendish's actions.
If I am dissatisfied with the environment around me, then all the responsibility lies with me."
…·…·…
"Zhan Shen, this young man is quite sensible, and he is somewhat grateful."
The big boss of Xingji feels in a good mood now and has secretly decided to give Zhan Shen, a sensible boy, a promotion and a salary increase.
"However, secretly going back to the past to complete the [agreement] with Illya without saying a word and not letting her know at all - why is this operation so familiar?"
Xingke considers himself a person who abides by Chen's promises. As long as he agrees, he will reach the contract no matter what method he uses.
But even if it really cannot be completed due to force majeure, he will complete the contract above the formality in order to make himself feel at ease - no matter whether it is already a long time late or the other half of the agreement is no longer alive.
In a sense, he is such a selfish bastard.
"As expected, it's me. Good character is passed down from our ancestors..."
Xingke laughed at himself and turned his attention back to the big library...
…·…·…
"But, Mr. Estreich, do we have to follow the fate arranged by Mr. Cavendish? Is there no way we can do it?" Zhan Shen asked.
Although he is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks about Xing Ke's actions, it does not mean that he cannot do something.
Just like Mother Nature has raised the children of the human race, she will occasionally cause storms, floods, falling magma, hail and other disasters.
The human race has no right to make irresponsible remarks about natural disasters, but it is not helpless.
The same is true for star engraving.
"Of course there are ways. Since you don't want to submit to such a fate, why not just create your own destiny."
Meteora didn't seem to regard the current situation of the Death Court as a major problem. He took a sip of tea and said:
"As long as there is a larger trend that covers the current trend, everything now will be forgotten in history."
"Simply, the current trend of division has just begun. As long as you spend a little more effort and find a suitable target, you can easily erase the traces of this page."
"This is..." Meteora's answer made Zhan Shen feel like he had a hole in his head, but at the same time, he also felt very familiar.
"Transferring internal conflicts? It's better to remove them than to block them? The empire..."
"[No words]——"
Meteora's silence spell promptly interrupted Zhanshen's unabashed speech:
"I'm sorry, Lord Zhanshen, but if you continue talking like this, it may cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so please calm down."
Seeing Zhan Shen nodding, Meteora unlocked the art of harmony and continued to preach:
"Your Excellency Zhan Shen, the method is not the problem, the purpose is the fundamental.
The process can be ignored, but the result must be correct.”
Meteora put away the Book of Ten Thousand Miles in her hand, put a hand on her chest, and her voice gradually became gentle:
"We have no intention of covering up our own stains, and we have no intention of causing trouble. The bigger wave I am talking about can mean anything.
It can be a good thing or a bad thing, it all depends on you, Lord Zhanshen.
You are the [protagonist] of this world and this era."
Meteora's calm voice echoed in Zhanshen's ears and touched his heart.
Zhanshen is not surprised that Meteora calls him the protagonist, because the magic that can see through the aura of the protagonist of a certain world is itself the masterpiece of the sage lady.
What touched him was that Meteora once again reminded him that he was the protagonist, and he was the one who was going to set off and lead the trend now.
"So, Lord Zhanshen, what do you want to do, and how do you want to involve the entire Court of Death in your journey?
And I, Meteora Estreich, will also wish you a helping hand."
Meteora stood up, stretched out her palm to him as if to be respectful, and looked at him.
Then a moment later, Zhanshen's firm voice sounded and gave his answer:
"I want to launch an expedition mission to the entire Macrorealm Ark, and I want as many members as possible to participate in a war that will destroy the world.
