Chapter 472 Three Worlds and Two Roads

"Hmph! In "Normal World", Castor secretly constructed such an imaginary world in his room. What on earth did he want to do? Does he really think that we would want to live in a so-called normal world?"

Masaki Keigo looked at the information on Castor's desk, and then silently looked at Kirino beside him. Some things were just so outrageous. Although Masaki Keigo was the leading genius on this earth, and perhaps even in this universe, but For the concept of 'normal world', he still needs to seek answers from others.

It stands to reason that Masaki Keigo can only use his super brain to deduce what an 'ordinary' world is like, but for some reason, Masaki Keigo feels that he cannot imagine the existence of such a world. Since childhood, Those ultra-ancient memories ingrained in his mind made it impossible for him to calm down and look at such a possibility objectively.

Kirino noticed Masaki Keigo's eyes and also noticed Masaki Keigo's emotional struggle, but he just sighed and shook his head, "I don't know, like you, I'm not so sure about what a person calls normal. What is the world like?”

Compared with Masaki Keigo, Kirino's expression is not so struggling. Although he is also a 'natural' alternative, there is a huge difference between Kirino and Masaki Keigo, that is, Masaki Keigo has recognized and accepted it since childhood. I understand my own extraordinaryness,

But Kirino is different. Even though he has given up on integrating into human society, he still retains that hope in his heart. He hopes that he can live in an 'ordinary' world.

Facing Masaki Keigo's gaze, Kirino took a deep breath, and then slowly said what was in his heart, "Masaki Keigo, even a man like you must have imagined such a thing in the deepest part of his heart. A world, right?”

"You can show your talents freely and truly realize the great vision in your mind: "Lead mankind forward without any worries and wholeheartedly." "

Under the leadership of Sawai and the TPC he established, human beings of different colors can unite together without thinking about fighting for even a second, and move towards the goal of utopia.

As for the so-called aliens, it will take us who knows how many years to figure out whether they exist or not.

There is no so-called light, no so-called darkness, everything is just the most basic physics, and humans do not need to consider the routes that we are not good at at all.

We just need to build the world in our minds step by step, according to the world view we are born with. "

Masaki Keigo was stunned for a moment, with disbelief written on his face. He did not expect that Kirino, a guy who had once become a marginalized person in society, would actually say such a long paragraph to him, with a hint of romanticism,

But soon, Masaki Keigo remembered that although Kirino had been a marginalized person in society for a long time, he had never given up on absorbing knowledge and wisdom from the long history and society of mankind.

Playing Kirino's words again in his mind, Masaki Keigo suddenly felt a sense of absurdity, because he remembered that when he was very young, he had not yet understood the dreams he had. When it comes to what it means, he seems to have thought about leading mankind forward in a way that is acceptable to the public.

And it seems that it's not just him, that guy Dagu, no, even the people in the victory team still hope for an ordinary world. Compared with the daily life of being called the elite, they seem to be more eager to be ordinary people. , lived a life that ordinary people would have.

Masaki Keigo has never thought about this problem in depth. Before that, Masaki Keigo was full of confusion about the thoughts of the victory team members. Yes, it was not the usual ridicule of Masaki Keigo, but a real incomprehension. ,

He didn't understand why those guys on the Victory Team, who now relied on fighting those weird enemies and events to gain such status and resources, were still full of rejection and disgust for such days.

In Masaki Keigo's heart, although the people on the Victory Team are not bad, if there were no so-called supernatural events, no so-called monsters and cosmic beings, and no so-called dark rulers, they would never be able to reach such heights in their lifetime.
However, just now, following Kirino's words, Masaki Keigo felt as if he could suddenly understand the thoughts of the people on the victory team.

Masaki Keigo himself understands what kind of person he is, but he has never tried to look at himself from such a perspective.

As a person who has spent the first half of his life with super-ancient nightmares, Masaki Keigo has long forgotten what the life of a so-called normal person is like. He even feels that he may have never experienced what it means to be a normal person. daily life.

Perhaps, for those in the Victory Team and those in Kirino, a world without any transcendent natural events is what they hope for, because in such a world, human beings don’t have to worry, and may encounter dangers all the time. An unknown threat has emerged.

I don’t know why, but a sentence suddenly flashed in Masaki Keigo’s mind. The oldest human emotion is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear is the fear of the unknown.

Masaki Keigo, who had felt the fear of the unknown from those super-ancient memories and those terrifying nightmares, suddenly felt that he could understand where ordinary people's rejection of today's society came from. Human beings can accept everything in their eyes. Failure and pain within a known range, but humans cannot adapt. Enemies beyond human imagination that may appear at any moment,
Thinking of this, Masaki Keigo frowned. He wanted to say something, but Kirino had already adjusted his state in advance and spoke in advance,

"I didn't expect Castor to be able to imagine a world he didn't understand out of thin air. You should understand, Masaki Keigo, just like ordinary people don't understand our world, we can't truly understand their world." His. His expression was a little serious,
"Of course, if combined with Castor's ability to connect with parallel space peers, such a result is not impossible. As long as he has seen enough worlds, he can naturally find a logical, But being able to understand the world outside of your own cognitive scope is not a gap in ability, it is a gap in experience.”

"But the question is, even if Casto can do all this, why would he spend time building such a world?"

"Did you notice some of the markings above? In his setting, he even set the constants of the universe to be randomly generated by the universe. This means that he not only abandoned those supernatural and so-called He is a cosmic being who has even given up the will of the universe and planets. Why would he do such a thing when he has nothing to do?”

Listening to Kirino's question, Masaki Keigo picked up the material called 'Normal World' that Casto had invented and flipped through it repeatedly. He turned to the part about social systems and suddenly asked with some uncertainty, "Kirino , If there are no supernatural events in a world, can Sawai still establish TPC? "

"I don't know about other worlds, but in the world we know, Masaki Keigo, even a person with almost zero political intelligence like you should be able to understand that the TPC was never established because of monsters, but because of Ze Well Director"

Although Masaki Keigo was a little dissatisfied with the fact that marginalized people like Kirino commented that his "political wisdom" was zero, he did not refute, but nodded silently after thinking about it, while Kirino continued,

"The establishment of TPC by Director Sawai is indeed related to the emergence of supernatural events, but it is not just that simple. After the Cold War, the whole world is eager for the emergence of a more advanced human society. Director Sawai just seizes this opportunity. Opportunity, and this opportunity is full of uncertainty.”

"In a sense, your question even has its own logic problems. You should not ask whether Director Sawai can establish TPC if there are no supernatural events, because if it were to be done again, even Director Sawai himself, maybe Can’t give a definite answer.”

Masaki Keigo snorted coldly. He understood that he might not be able to do what Sawai did in his life. At least in terms of establishing TPC, Sawai might be the only one in the world who could do it, and even he himself could not repeat it. This great historical process,
Thinking of this, Masaki Keigo suddenly took out his PDI and started scanning the documents at hand, "Send it to the old man Sawai, maybe he can see more things in it."

Kirino shook his head. Masaki Keigo was obviously special, a genius, and an important resource for the human society in which they lived. However, compared with Sawai, Masaki Keigo was not so indispensable.

The question of who is greater, Marx or Einstein, has different answers in the eyes of different people, but obviously, in the eyes of people like Kirino who had a tragic childhood, the former is far more important than the latter.

Kirino suddenly realized that the world they lived in actually had countless miracles. He originally thought that the light that appeared in human society in opposition to darkness was enough to represent miracles, but now he suddenly felt that maybe the appearance of Sawai , is what makes their world perhaps different from other universes and earths.

Just as Kirino's thoughts were becoming more and more divergent, Masaki Keigo had already stretched out his hand and started to read other information on Castor's desk.

Just beside this "Normal World", there are two documents that look similar. Unlike the previous document that was full of annotations, the remaining two documents do not seem to have that many annotations. In fact, In many directions, what they describe does not seem to be very different.

But Masaki Keigo quickly noticed the difference in the world described in the two documents, and then he was stunned because Castor seemed to be missing from one of the documents. Masaki Keigo glanced at it roughly , and then his expression suddenly became ugly, because in this record, he seemed to have finally stood on the opposite side of the human world due to psychological pressure.

After thinking about it, Masaki Keigo used PDI again to start scanning the two documents, and this time he did not just scan. After a few operations on PDI, he silently used the supercomputer remotely to start the simulation, "Analysis Two documents and then simulate whether the world would develop as described above without Casto.”

"It has been entered. The data is being analyzed. It is too large. Start the quantum computer left by Hiroshi Fujimiya."

Masaki Keigo frowned, silently waiting for the simulation results to appear. He didn't notice at all. Beside him, Kirino's expression suddenly looked a little weird. Just when the computer simulation on PDI was about to come to an end, Kirino Suddenly he spoke silently, "Although it's not appropriate to say this. But Masaki Keigo, I have to tell you one thing, that is, even without supercomputer simulation, I can be sure that you will end up like what Casto wrote. , stand on the opposite side of humanity.”

"Do you know what you are talking about?! I am Masaki Keigo!"

"I know because it seems that I helped Casto sort out this information." Kirino twitched the corner of his mouth, "I once sorted out the world I predicted with Castor. It should be a parallel world without him. future, and in that future, you Masaki Keigo will become."

Before Kirino finished speaking, PDI began to broadcast, "The record and simulation match more than 90%. Regarding Masaki Keigo's simulation, the match is as high as 120%."

"One hundred and two percent? Why is there an extra part?" Kirino was also stunned for a moment.

The corner of Masaki Keigo's mouth twitched, and then he said with some uncertainty, "Maybe in the simulated world, there is someone who stood on the opposite side of the human world twice."

Kirino looked at Masaki Keigo's ferocious face, silently took a step back, then took a deep breath, and said seriously, "If we can't figure out anything from the previous description of the so-called "normal world," then combined with this From these two documents, we should be able to figure out something.”

"Hmph! It's obvious that Castor feels that the current world is too tight. He compared the "normal world", "the world without him" and the "real world", trying to find some ways to improve it," Masaki Keigo said The three pieces of information were stacked together, and then he said, "However, using this manual method is too backward, isn't it? If he was willing, he could have asked for my help."

Kirino shook his head, "Maybe that's the problem. He doesn't want you to know what he's thinking, even if your cooperation can change a lot of things."

"Hmph, tell me, why?!" Masaki Keigo snorted coldly, but after he finished humming, he didn't say anything for a long time. In the end, he could only throw out his questions.

"Don't tell me, it's because without him, Casto, I would be on the opposite side of human society. He gave me this information and it won't make me do anything drastic, because I know that now I don't It will not go against the human society.”

Kirino nodded, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Now you, at least standing next to me, will not go on the opposite side of human beings. I can be sure of this, and I can even vouch for you."

"So the reason why Castor doesn't want to find you is not here." Kirino looked into Masaki Keigo's eyes and said, "Castor actually discussed some things with me, but I believe he will not discuss these things with you. "It's not because he doesn't believe you, but simply because you can't understand what he's saying."

"Do you think you understand now why the Victory Team hopes to exclude supernatural enemies?" Kirino said to Masaki Keigo, "You must have been unable to understand that it was those monsters that allowed them to reach such a crucial position for mankind now. , they should not reject the current society."

"However, you seem to have undergone some changes just now. You may have felt that their hearts are filled with the kind of rejection and resistance to food such as unknown fear. You think this is the reason why they prefer to be ordinary people. ?"

"Hmph! Isn't that so?"

"Of course not! There aren't that many twists and turns at all!" Kirino said seriously to Masaki Keigo, "Including me, everyone just hopes to have one, one without monsters, peaceful, and for ordinary people. The world. It’s that simple, it’s our instinctive reaction.”

Masaki Keigo was stunned for a moment, then his eyes fell on Castor's three pieces of information, and his expression suddenly became serious, "So, Castor also hopes to live in a world that he hopes for."

"I don't know, but maybe that's the case." Kirino nodded, and then asked, "But the question is, why would Casto spend time on something impossible?"

"Everyone knows that things in the past cannot be changed. My childhood misfortune, Castor's past, Masaki Keigo's entanglement with super-ancient civilization, and everything else, what has happened cannot be changed. What may change, no matter how much Casto compares it, is just a literal assumption.”

Kirino felt that what he said was very simple logic, but to his surprise, Masaki Keigo shook his head, "I admit that changing the past sounds a bit outrageous, but it is not completely impossible. Moreover, After I learned about the existence of parallel worlds, I felt that this possibility became more and more likely.”

"Wait?! Damn it, why did I forget that guy!" Keigo Masaki suddenly turned his head and said uncertainly, "Tregear! Damn it, that guy had this ability, and he has disappeared now!"

"You don't think Castor asked Tregear to go back to the past to eliminate his own existence, right?" Kirino widened his eyes, "Impossible! Even if I don't understand time and no time, But it’s obviously not logically feasible for a person to ask someone to go back and kill him.”

"Under normal circumstances, this is indeed logically unfeasible, but you were not there at the time, so you didn't know that a god really appeared in the different dimension where the Kirialodians were, and it seemed that he could The new god being cultivated, according to Tregchia, a new god may very well mean a brand new order.”

"The God of the Kirialodians??" Kirino was stunned for a moment, then recalled his previous meeting with Castor, and said with a trembling voice, "Wait, I think I know."

"We all thought before that Castor would either choose himself in the parallel universe and give up this world, or he would give up himself in the parallel universe and bear the pressure of this world."

"But we have all overlooked, what if Castor chooses to do both, what if he wants to protect this world and also wants to protect himself in other universes?"

"If two things require his existence at the same time, and he cannot allocate time and energy to do two things at the same time, then he actually has another option, and that is to completely solve one of the things once and for all. , For example, if there had never been Castor in this world, or even if there had never been supernatural events in this world, then all problems would disappear. "

Masaki Keigo frowned, "Let me think about it, don't talk yet."

"What happened that night actually happened because of Castor. No matter what his purpose was, in fact, whether it was the rebel organizations, the monsters awakening in riots everywhere, or even the Gate of Hell, they were all closely related to him. Relationship."

"And on the same night, he realized that in other universes, there are still some of his parallel time and space entities, who are living very difficultly, protecting the world while enduring the battle alone. The pain comes.”

"He must have been struggling for a long time. I don't know if he has communicated with himself in other parallel worlds, but he must have been thinking about these things for a long time."

"He probably realized that the world has become very tight because of him. Although the world looks a lot better because of him, it has not fundamentally changed."

"I don't know what his logic is. In short, he came to the conclusion that everything he did in this world may be meaningless."

"If based on such a conclusion, then all of Casto's actions are understandable. He does not intend to carry the world on his back alone, but intends to hand over the world to us with confidence, and then transfer his existence from this world to us. World erased.”

"As you said, under normal circumstances, such a plan is impossible to succeed. However, it is such a coincidence that a brand new god appears. I don't know what the so-called god can do. Is it to turn him into a god?" Even if his existence is erased, he can still do more. In short, Castor may have reached some kind of agreement with Tregchia. "

"Following this line of thinking, Castor may have thought of more things. For example, if the power of that god can really do more, then why doesn't he just ask that god to help him transform the universe? All supernatural forces have been removed from it.”

"It seems to make sense logically. Even if it doesn't make sense, if it's Casto, it might make sense." Kirino made his own judgment, but soon, he frowned again,
"The only question is, is the god of the Kyriarodians really that powerful? Can he even rewrite the so-called order of the universe?"

"I don't know." Masaki Keigo shook his head. He looked at the information on Castor's desk. "I don't know much about the god of the Kirialodians. Even Castor himself knows about it. Not too many. The only one who has some understanding of this kind of existence is Tregear, and he doesn’t seem to be on our side now.”

"Then who else might know some relevant information?"

Masaki Keigo and Kirino looked at each other, and a name flashed in their minds at the same time. At this moment, Masaki Keigo's PDI also rang, and Megumi's voice came from inside,
"Masaki Keigo, Kirino, Mizoroki Shinya and the witches have arrived at the base. I'll wait for you in my office."

"Okay, we happened to have some discoveries and need to confirm with them."

Dozens of minutes later, in Megumi's office, Mizorogi Shinya looked serious, while the witch's eyes widened.

"How about it, do you two have any idea about the limit of that so-called god's power?" Masaki Keigo asked.

The witch opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I don't know. The so-called gods we Kirialodians call have never actually appeared. They only exist in our legends, but"

"The wings that appeared on the back of the egg before, if I read it correctly, should be the projection of a portion of the insignificant power of some kind of high-dimensional life form within the gate of hell."

After speaking, the witch pointed at Masaki Keigo, "How powerful that kind of power is. You were also there at the time. You should know it, right?"

"Hmph! I guessed it. It was a power that even Tregear was afraid of." Masaki Keigo said seriously, "When the wings appeared, Dark Lucifer and Tregear appeared at the same time. It was very obvious and A large-scale stress response, if I guess correctly, it should be some kind of the most powerful force located high in the universe."

"I may have a vague idea of ​​the power of the wings you are talking about." Mizoroki Shinya, who thought he was just here to make soy sauce, suddenly spoke. As he said that, he took out his transformer, and the people around him Looking at him, I don't know what this visitor from other universes has to say.
"You should know that I have wandered between darkness and light. I am not very willing to go into detail about this matter, but it is indeed related to the wings you are talking about."

Mizorogi Shinya took a deep breath and said seriously,

"Captain Hui Jian, in fact, I don't want to come to TPC. In addition to some mistakes I have made, there is another reason, that is, I used to be a member of the Night Raid Team, and the Night Raid Team is equivalent to our The winning team of the world.”

"Although not everyone on the Victory Team is born with light, Masaki Keigo, you should be able to see that they all have the possibility of light blooming in their bodies, and I, like them, used to be With such a possibility, I was even chosen by the light.”

"You mean, Hikari chose you consciously?"

"You can understand it this way." Mizorogi Jin also nodded and looked at Masaki Keigo, "Just like you were chosen by the light of the super ancient civilization, the light of that ruins also chose me, becoming the fittest person of that generation. That is what you call the human body.”

"Furthermore, I was indeed close to becoming the light, but you all probably know what happened next. I eventually went astray and became a member of the darkness. Then, after being defeated by the light, I repented and became a member of the darkness again. I lost the light, but I almost completely disappeared as the light in the end.”

"You can understand it this way. When I first came into contact with light, I was actually me. At that time, I didn't have any knowledge of the owner of the wings you mentioned.
However, at the moment I was about to die, I had essentially become part of his power, because at that moment, I not only became a capable person, but I was also qualified to start passing on as light, and It was at that moment that I vaguely saw the owner of the wings you just mentioned. "

"What kind of existence is that?" Kirino asked.

"Let me use an analogy. When I disappeared as light, I actually had as much power as any giant of light." Mizuroki Shinya sighed, "Although it turned from darkness to light, but that For a moment, I truly met all the definitions of light, so I became a qualified giant of light.”

"But when I dissipated, I felt an ancient and huge existence. For example, at that moment, I felt like a drop of water in the water cycle, and the owner of the wings was like a drop of water in the water cycle. It’s a vast ocean. It’s not just big, it’s ancient, inclusive, and profound.”

Mizoroki Shinya's metaphor successfully gave Masaki Keigo and others a clear understanding of the master behind the wings, and Masaki Keigo also understood why at the Gate of Hell, no matter it was Tregear Or Dark Lucifer, the moment he saw those wings, he would have such a big reaction.

Dark Lucifer and Tregear are very strong just in terms of energy density. Masaki Keigo knows this, but compared with the vast ocean in Mizoroki Shinya's mouth, they are at most two stinking ditches. Even if they For ordinary rivers, they are very harmful, but in front of the vast ocean, their existence can be said to be insignificant.

"So, if the wings really appear on the back of the new god," Mizuroki Shinya looked at Masaki Keigo, "if your description is accurate, then I won't be surprised by the possibility of that guy."

Everyone present nodded slowly. If there really is such a super boss in the 'light camp', then it is not too much to guess the limit of his ability according to God. And if the Kirialodians If a god is taken away by such a being, then the prediction of the limit of this god's ability will indeed need to be greatly increased.

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, Masaki Keigo asked, "So Castor is the same as you, does his power also come from this existence? Is that why he wants to protect himself in other universes?"

Mizorogi was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head as if he heard some joke, "So, my judgment on Castor is different from yours, because I am the only one who understands that the person who is capable of light What kind of person is he?

You don't know, all the capable people I have ever seen, even the first one who combined with light and has not yet 'mature', are very crazy. They have already made sacrifices for their ideals. In order to prepare for life, in their world view, their own lives are the least important thing. "

"Theoretically, I don't think Castor would spare any effort to protect himself in other universes, because for the fittest, such behavior is meaningless and does not conform to their ideals. Face the crises around them head-on, and then Fight with them until the last moment, this is the style they should have,
Of course, Castor is somewhat different, but I believe that his difference is definitely not that he will give up the enemies in front of him to protect himself in other universes, but that he will do his best to choose and protect everyone. Someone he can see."

Masaki Keigo noticed that when talking about this kind of light that was passed down from generation to generation, there was a rare hint of pride in Mizoroki Shinya's eyes.

But soon, Mizorogi shook his head and looked at the others again, "I think your inference about Castor's behavior is wrong. Your inference is too taken for granted."

"First of all, it is unrealistic to eliminate a person's existence. Even if it can be done, I believe that the owner of that wing will not allow this to happen, because the impact of this matter is likely to It will affect multiple universes, and even all universes.”

"Secondly." Mizoroki Shinya looked at Masaki Keigo, "Do you think that Tregear can take the egg you are talking about back from the wing master?"

"I admit that Tregear is very powerful. He is basically the most special existence among the living beings that I know. The evil god of chaos Grimd sealed in his body, according to his description, is even better than the owner of the wings. The history of existence is even longer,

But this doesn’t mean anything. The universe is no longer in the era of chaos. As someone who has served as a person capable of both darkness and light, I know this better than anyone else.
This is a conclusion that requires you to abandon your inherent thinking. That is, the universe has now entered the era of 'light and darkness', just like the Bronze Age was followed by the Iron Age. No matter how good the bronze is, it cannot be reconciled with the age of light and darkness. Compared to steel that has been tempered over time. "

"If you look at it, you just don't understand the fittest." Mizorogi Shinya speculated, "What do you think he wants to eliminate his own existence? He also wants to transform the world into a world without any supernatural phenomena."

"Let's put it this way, even if there is no supernatural power in the world, people from the universe will still exist. At least the existence of people on earth means that there can still be life forms in the universe, so people from the universe must exist, right?"

"In this case, there can't be only one evolutionary route between different civilizations, right? And since there are different evolutionary routes, how can you say that the supernatural evolutionary route is wrong and the evolution of technology is right?"

"But Castor himself built a world without supernatural phenomena. Doesn't this explain his tendency?" the witch said.

"You also said that the world he built was named "Normal World" by him. So what is normal? Of course it can be considered normal if everyone is an ordinary person, but on the other hand, if everyone is the successor of light , is this also considered normal?”

Masaki Keigo and Kirino were both stunned. They both thought of one thing at the same time. It was the same as Mizoroki Shinya said. In a sense, this was considered normal. Masaki Keigo happened to have some research on this matter. Because he once had a similar idea, and he also talked about this idea with Casto.

"Everyone becomes light!?" Kirino looked at Masaki Keigo. He had seen Masaki Keigo's future in another timeline, so he knew that Masaki Keigo's ultimate goal for mankind was to evolve in this direction.

"Don't be surprised, this is normal for those who are capable." Mizuroki Shinya said seriously, "I'm not saying that they can turn everyone into light, but for their kind of light , light itself will be passed on from generation to generation.”

At this time, others suddenly heard the witch sigh, her voice was a little low, revealing a trace of memories, "Actually, according to this statement, the god Kirialod may really be able to do all this.
After all, a large part of our Kirialodians' prayers for hundreds of millions of years, at least in the last 30 million years, is that we hope that our entire race can have a powerful fighting body, just like the light. Like a giant."

"If Castor's goal is to turn all humans into giants of light, if the birth of the egg is really affected by our prayers, and if there is a connection between the two, then maybe Castor can really Do it all.”

Masaki Keigo was silent. He looked at Mizoroki Shinya. It was obvious that this guy was full of respect for that light, and even had a feeling of admiration.

On the other hand, the witch's performance also proves how attractive the evolution of the whole family is to living beings.

Even Masaki Keigo himself knew that he was conducting related research in secret.

Just like Mizoroki Shinya said, if the entire universe loses its supernatural power, then human beings can naturally develop smoothly. However, if all humans become light, wouldn't it develop faster?
Masaki Keigo and Kirino looked at each other. At this time, they were indeed a little unsure about which path Castor wanted to take.
