Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2587 Rom's Reason

That's why you need to think more.

In Fu Qian's view, the greatness of thought lies in its effortless connection of various elements.

So much so that given enough time, it's not difficult to get someone to admit that they are the culprit behind the Big Bang.

The scene before us is a vivid example; in the blink of an eye, His Excellency the Fool's grace is already spreading everywhere.

Even once connected, there's a quick feeling that there's no going back—

Su Gao's extraordinary journey originated from the white porcelain doll that separated from her body.

Fu Qian even remembered the name she gave the doll: Ms. Madeleine.

The latter possesses the "perfect" attributes handpicked by the warehouse, and thus appears to be the ideal vessel for various higher powers.

At the time, because of this, I even compared it to the blank demigod state.

Now, it seems that, like the description on that ring, it could also be considered a symbol of "pure and extraordinary".
Because of her own actions, Su Gao ended up drinking the sap of the Fool's Tree, which was equivalent to destroying the perfection of the doll with her "self." Only after the two were merged into one was the warehouse determined that the mission was completed.

So theoretically, in that situation, she shouldn't have much risk of becoming a vessel for those in power.

As a result, during one field mission, a taboo area that was generally considered to be of low danger suddenly became active, causing her to suffer a kind of mental torture on the spot.

Considering the sight of the lake turning upside down at the time... was this really no ordinary bad luck event?
I wonder what the Night Watchman thinks about this?
It's hard to believe that they knew nothing about Mr. Fool.

Silently organizing Su Gao's career development path, Fu Qian fell into deep thought for a moment.

If I remember correctly, the white porcelain broke again not long ago...

The image of that body with its eyes closed and riddled with cracks naturally appeared before my eyes.

The last time they traveled together was a thousand years ago. Su Gao was on the verge of collapse under the immense twisting power, and only recovered by slaying the tyrant.

Even so, the cracks on his body did not heal in the end, but instead combined into a special harmonious order, giving people an increasingly pure feeling.

As for Su Gao, the person involved, she described that state as feeling better, to the point that she eventually guessed that she might have completed the second-stage ritual ahead of schedule.

If that's the case, the white porcelain and crystals, broken yet orderly... it feels like the similarity to the upside-down lake in front of me is increasing as my rank rises.

If the above associations are true, then Su Gao's significance to this world is probably far more than just being a high-level transcendent being.

Proving this doesn't seem too difficult either; finding an opportunity to confirm the Night Watchers' attitude might yield considerable results.

He even had a ready-made invitation—a treacherous banquet proposed by Lord Stos before his departure.

"Actually, we have no reason to take action."

Very timely, just as I was thinking about the Feast at Hongmen, His Excellency Rom's voice appeared again, emphasizing that in the world of martial arts, harmony is of utmost importance.

……

Very reasonable.

There's a saying, "No fight, no friendship," meaning that you won't have the chance to become friends without a fight.

As for accidentally killing someone? Then there's even less need for us to know each other.

Given the current situation, with everyone stabbing each other in the back for so long, and in fact, it was mostly us stabbing each other first, and Lord Rom's counterattack just now failing, it seems like it's time to move on to a stage where we can let bygones be bygones.

Not minding that Rom only thought for a moment before rushing to express his feelings again, Fu Qian looked over with empathy and let him continue without saying a word.

Putting everything else aside, at least Lord Rom's speech was delivered as if he had memorized a script beforehand, without any pauses or delays, which was the right attitude. "I no longer pose any threat; the fact that the forces behind you are no longer targeting me is proof enough..."

"Even if you were to take action, you wouldn't be able to threaten me much; this is nothing but a projection of falsehood..."

And as expected, he did not disappoint, continuing to speak with substance.

Instead of showing weakness, Rom clearly stated his current situation and that he was not the original being.

"Especially the real curse here, which I am completely unable to get rid of."

……

Oh?
Lord Rom, an Old God in a very poor state, surprisingly sounded somewhat optimistic.

The last sentence is a bit obscure, but it's still worth trying to understand.

The “real curse” refers to crystallization? That’s easy to guess.

As previously discussed, even though Lord Rom ultimately used this power to repair himself, his impression of him remained negative.

And taking all of the above into account, what He wanted to express is already quite simple—

I can't beat you, but this is just a projection, and you can't really kill me either.

In the end, all that's done is for everyone to break up, and that fallacy disappears, which doesn't really mean much in reality.

Furthermore, you don't even need to kill me, because I've already been deeply poisoned by the negative effects of this fallacy that can truly be applied to reality...

It must be said that this is both reasonable and well-founded.

If they can't kill them, they might even get a second chance; it shows they've carefully considered things from their own perspective.

Fu Qian nodded slightly.

As for why His Excellency Rohm was described as "optimistic"?
It's actually quite simple; He gives the impression that the end of the world isn't imminent.

The storm that seems to represent this concept in "The End of the World" is obviously easy to associate with "doomsday".

During this period of time, the question of whether the apocalypse had already occurred or whether what we are seeing now is just a false afterglow has become increasingly unavoidable.

Even recently, Neferi, the former head of the Good Curse Academy, burned herself to death on Moore's Lighthouse in order to confirm the answer to this question.

And it is clear that the judgment that leans more towards the afterglow of the apocalypse is true.

Imagine what Neferi would think of the "crystallization" spreading everywhere if she saw the scene before her.
To be honest, in Fu Qian's opinion, she might not see it as a pure curse like Lord Rom did.

It is precisely this contrast in attitude that makes this strangely styled, aloof ancient ruler appear to possess a higher level of optimism towards life than ordinary people.

There's a strange sense of contrast.

"So why is crystallization a curse?"

Although he interpreted it instantly, he still made sure to confirm beforehand by asking a very informative question.

"If you're worried that my presence will make it harder for you to shake off this misconception, that's not a problem either..."

"With just a little time, I have a way to lower your external status so that you won't leave a trace here and be expelled. It will also be much easier for you to get out of that turmoil."

Unfortunately, His Excellency Röhm showed no intention of responding, completely absorbed in his own self-expression, and simply continued to offer new reasons for peace.
