Chapter 547 The Lament of Gods and Humans, Does Lala Exist? Allen's Worries
"I had already succeeded! I had already succeeded!! Why did I come back!! Why did I come back to the past?"

"I was dreaming? Dreaming? Me?? Hahaha, I was dreaming?? Hahaha, I was dreaming!!!"

"Who can make me dream?! Who can bring me memories through dreams?! Who can?! This is impossible!! This is impossible!!"

Keith stared in astonishment at the god-like figure in front of him, who was pressing against him and roaring as if he were about to pounce on him for a passionate French kiss. He didn't dare to breathe.

This is absolutely terrifying.

To be honest, this was the first time Keith had ever seen a god so out of control, and he really didn't know what to do.

Back in the day, when I gambled with people and lost, I would lend them Gilead for a day. Paul was so angry when he came to redeem them that he jumped up and down on the spot, but he wasn't this upset.

Just then, the god suddenly turned his head and slammed it into his forehead with a wail!
Keith instinctively closed his eyes, but the expected touch did not come to his lips.

The god passed right through Keith and crashed headfirst into the 'floor' behind him.

Bang bang bang! He frantically banged his head on the ground.

Keith turned around and looked. Although he didn't hear a sound, the sight of the god still made his head spin.

"Impossible!! Time magic?? Could it be time magic?? But how could time magic possibly work? My plan this time is flawless!"

Alsted realized he had killed the wrong person and could only continue the wonderful cycle of reincarnation!! Why did he simply disappear when he closed and opened his eyes!!

How could time magic affect me?! How could it work on me through a dream?! Time magic is clearly rejected by the Creator God! How could it have brought me back with it?!
Even in my failed timeline, even if someone could bring back another diary, it wouldn't stop Alstead from killing Eren! Ah!!!

I've been planning this for so long! So long! This time, there's no chance to beg for mercy while biting my shoe! Aa ...

Keith was so shocked by the wailing that it directly affected his soul that he almost lost his mind. He covered his ears, but found that it was no use at all!

But at that moment, the wailing of the gods and men suddenly stopped.

Keith stared wide-eyed as he saw the god kneeling on the ground, covering his face. He seemed to have calmed down considerably, and murmured:
"Worldline? A flawless plan?"
No, the plan I remember wasn't like this one. That time it was more relaxed and easy. Loki was crippled, and Allen was on the verge of collapse. He was struggling, struggling like a wild dog, and was crushed to death by Alstead like an insect.
I retain this completely different memory; this memory does not belong to me.
Could it be a world line? Is it a memory from another world line? Is the current situation that another world line, one I can't see, has merged with the current one?

—The human god, though noble as a deity who contained the divine jade, was not at the level of the world-destroying god or the world-creating god. He was merely an evil thought split off from the world-destroying god, which possessed the human god.

He couldn't see himself in the other timeline, couldn't communicate with him, and couldn't share his memories with him. This was the root cause of why he was caught off guard by Old Rudy's time magic.

The fundamental reason why the creator god dislikes multiple world lines is precisely because of the stability of these different world lines being 'independent and do not interfere with each other'.

With limited divine power remaining, it was already quite difficult for Him to carefully mend this unstable six-sided world while maintaining His remaining will from perishing.

The more world lines there are, the more gods he creates to govern each world will be, and the more divine jades will be needed to maintain the basic operation of the world.

Each divine jade, originating from the creator god, contains the minimum divine power necessary to maintain the operation of the world. This divine power is the essence of all rules and is a non-renewable resource.

While the world lines split, divine power itself cannot be copied.

What should I do?
The creator god still needs to reverse the flow of blood to make up for it.

Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Who told you to create this unstable world?

If you smoke too much, the remaining will of the creator god will gradually weaken.

That's why He wants to eliminate users who use time magic to reverse time and actively split the world lines. At the same time, when conditions permit, He also wants to merge the split world lines as much as possible.

"Impossible! How could they possibly merge?"
Even the remnants of the Creator God's consciousness couldn't support Him making such an action. How could it be possible?

The god suddenly fell silent.

He lay motionless on the ground with his rear end sticking out, as if he were dead.

Keith's lips twitched, but after a long while, he slowly approached the god.

Bow down.

The deity was seen supporting his face on the ground, with water-like mosaics flowing down his chin.

Keith: ? ? ?
The old man, who's like a god, is actually vomiting?!

this.
The next instant, the god flipped over, grabbed Keith's shoulder, and roared furiously!

"It's the God of Destruction! It's my true form! Only He could do something like this!! He's gone mad!! Is He out of his mind? Why would He suddenly help an outsider get rid of me?"

No! That's not right! Impossible. He was only focused on waiting for the moment when the six-sided world would be destroyed. He couldn't possibly have done that. Wait, could it be…”

In Keith's suddenly constricted pupils, the god-man grabbed his own neck:
"Come out here! It must be you! You've been playing dead for so long? I caught you! Huh!?"
"You brat! You brat! You bastard, the bastard born of Rudeus! You used the divine jade as bait to lure me into absorbing it, then stole the divine jade that should have belonged to the 'God of Man,' and instead fused with the 'God of Man'! Shameless! You bastard! You bastard!!"

At this point, the god raised his hand and slapped himself a few times.

Keith jumped up and backed away, staring in horror at the crazed god.

"Come out! I know it's you!! There's no one else!! The only one who could scheme against me like this is you, hiding inside my body!! Come out here!!!!!!!!! Lala!!!!"

Keith watched as the god chattered on for several minutes before suddenly collapsing to the ground, looking utterly dejected.

He gasped for breath and muttered, "Didn't come out? Could it really not be? Think again, think again. After Allen escaped the cycle of reincarnation from outside the timeline, during the Great Shift, this worldline has now completely deviated from the worldline where that brat Lala merged with me."

This is a completely new timeline; she was forcibly separated from my body! Yes! That's right! Lala hasn't even been born yet! Her consciousness can't exist at all!! She can't escape the reincarnation technique!!

Only I retained the memories, only me! How could she possibly scheme against me across timelines? How could she possibly?!

I went to great lengths to guide her to choose to summon Eren to resist the world-destroying plot—no problem!! No problem!! In Eren's dog's words, this is called something unprecedented!! Something unprecedented!!

I succeeded! I successfully ripped Lala out of my body in the timeline where Eren exists!! She couldn't have schemed against me!! Impossible!! Who!! Who was it!! Who could it be!! Could it really be my true self trying to eliminate me?!! Why would it want to eliminate me? Why?
I was already lying in wait, patiently awaiting my chance to reclaim my divine position, seize His consciousness, and take control. How could He strike first? His mind was filled with nothing but thoughts of destruction! Destruction! Destruction! Destruction! Destruction! Destruction! Destruction! Ah! ? ?

The person was stunned when he heard this.

"Invading consciousness? Taking control? Merging with me? Could it be that Lala is using the same old tricks again, influencing the God of Destruction?"
She dares to challenge Him? That "I" has such a powerful consciousness!! How could someone as weak as her, who always relies on divination to make decisions, possibly corrupt Him in reverse?? How is that possible?? Who is corrupting whom?? And how could she possibly allow that stubborn and arrogant Alsteed to sacrifice his life and expend all his divine jade to help her?? Could it be Alsteed himself? Impossible, he can't even escape the reincarnation secret technique of the first Dragon God, how could he possibly corrupt the God of Destruction in reverse??!!

Why is everyone against me?! Why?!

Only I can stop the world from ending!! I will become the Creator God!! I will merge with the Creator God!! I will become the sole god of this world!! How could they possibly be worthy?!
arrive!!

end!!!
yes!!!!

who!!!!!!?????"

-

"Look who I brought with me!"

Knock knock—the sound of knocking on the door
"Hey, are you there? Give me a shout if you are?"

Knock knock—the sound of knocking on the door
"If you don't come out soon, I'm going to have Kid Bro break down the door!"

After the teleportation magic circle at the top of the tree flashed, the B-rank monster Black Feather Cloud Swan had been trekking through the clouds for several hours.

Keith is dreaming, watching a god go mad.

Allen is dreaming too.

However, unlike the world of nothingness, the atmosphere here was quite friendly.

It was still the familiar Aishan Orphanage, still the yellowed and faded dormitory door, still the A4 paper with the medication schedule pasted on it.

Allen stood at the door, holding little Allen's arm with one hand and patiently knocking on the door with the other.

The short, crew-cut Allen, who barely reached Allen's waist, glanced at him expressionlessly as he knocked on the door: "Aren't you childish?"

Allen's hand stopped in front of the door, and he stroked his chin.

Looking at him, Little Allen said, "I think you've really relaxed a lot, and you even have the mind to joke with me?"

Allen continued with the same gesture.

Little Allen looked at Allen and suddenly smiled:
"So you were nervous and subconsciously tried to relax by abstracting things? Heh, you were unfazed by the conspiracy of the gods and men, but now that you're going back to Ars and going to see Hilfi and Hilda, you're the one who's nervous."

"So, did what happened with Bita's dream last time still affect you?"

Allen turned to look at him, his eyes gleaming.

Little Allen's expression hardened, and a stark contrast between his youthful face and his thuggish demeanor appeared as he said menacingly:
"What's there to be afraid of! When we die, our eggs fly to the sky! At worst, we'll fight Hilda and Philip the moment they drop dead!"
Grandpa, I'm a complete outsider. Don't call me Boreas, I'm just called Allen! There's no Boreas! And no Greirat!!

"I'm an orphan!! So what! Did an orphan eat your rice? Oh dear!!"

Allen grabbed Little Allen by the neck in a huff, pressed his fist against his forehead, and spun him wildly.
"Is your mouth poisoned? Can't you offer some constructive advice instead of just spouting sarcastic remarks?"

Little Allen struggled frantically: "What constructive suggestions do you have?!"

You are an orphan!!

Even if you identify with this family, even if you feel like you are Ellen Boreas Grellatt, even if you call Hilda "Mom," even if you think of Alice as your sister, even if you cherish this kind of family affection that you have never felt before!
It doesn't change the fact that you're an orphan!

Have you forgotten how Ai Qiu was born?

If you want my advice, this is it! Split up again and find someone else to take charge!

"You were quite decisive and principled when you wrote the letter to confront them, but now you're regretting it? You might as well have made up a lie and told them you were Allen Boreas Greirat!"

Allen stopped swinging his fist, sighed, and put little Allen down.
“You can’t lie to her. You know that a lie is a lie, and it can’t become the truth.”

Little Allen rubbed his head: "I won't lie to her, I won't coax her. You're her son. This is the result we'll have to face sooner or later."

You have a lot of confidence in your women now, but you have no confidence in yourself, in Hilda's diary, in her tears, or in your mother whom you are determined to accept.

How can you be so sure Hilda won't accept you?

Allen looked down at little Allen: "Would she? Even if she knew I was an outsider who had taken over her son's body?"

Little Allen rubbed his head and remained silent.

Allen continued, "I am you, and you are me. You know very well what I'm thinking, and I know very well what you're thinking. My lack of confidence in this matter is reflected in you as that 'what's the point' declaration just now."

Little Allen muttered, "So you're still holding onto a sliver of hope?"

Allen didn't respond directly to Little Allen, and continued, "Even if we tell the truth, we can't lie to her, and we can't split into another fifth and sixth child. It's pointless. The method you mentioned is the way we dealt with things in the orphanage."

If we keep taking shortcuts like this, neither of us will ever leave this orphanage.

After he finished speaking, both of them fell silent.

They stood in the corridor of the orphanage where they had lived for more than ten years, speechless.

After a moment, Allen waved his hand and said, "Never mind, let's get down to business."

Little Allen: "Okay, let's get down to business."

Allen: "After the time magic, I was a little lost. It seems that I am now training with Auersted to prepare for the counterattack on the World of Nothingness. But you and I both know that we still have something to do, which is to help 'Allen' who is fighting against the God of Destruction to successfully merge with him."

But it's hard to find a starting point for this. I want to talk to him about it, but there's nothing I can do right now. The lower limit of the baptismal altar depends on the shortest plank of the magic circle. It seems that this door can only be opened after being baptized by a four-god level healing magic circle.

What should we do before that to increase our chances of winning?
