When I was a child, the stars were my friends and my deceased family members.
When I grow up, the stars are my enemies and my dead self.
"No, no, I'm tired and want to take a nap. You can figure out the rest slowly."
"Ah."
"Finally, is there anything you want to say to me?"
"What do you want to hear?"
"whatever."
"..." Li Mo was silent. This conversation seemed very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
I remembered it, it was a conversation when we were celebrating Mei's birthday in a cafe.
"Good night."
"Hmm...Okay, I should say this, then..." Mei paused, slowly closing her purple eyes. The light of the Blank Key quickly faded until she merged into the darkness, leaving only her final whisper: "Li Mo, good night."
"..."
"..."
Li Mo left the dark side of the moon and stood beside Ying Jie's corpse, looking at the earth.
The moon dust beneath my feet shimmered white in the sunlight, like a sea of silver sand.
There was no wind, no breath of life, only endless darkness and silence.
The starry sky is bright and distant, and each star is like a lonely eye, quietly watching the two cold planets and the lone person.
There is a group of dead people and ghosts on the moon, and there is a group of living people on the earth who are about to become ghosts.
But everything has a chance to turn around.
The plan to deal with the end is simple. He will hold back the Herrscher of the End and let Ling unleash the power of the Seed of Sorrow to absorb vitality.
In this way, the Ruler of the End will temporarily lose his combat effectiveness, and before the Cocoon of the End replenishes his life force, it is enough to sever his connection with the Cocoon of the End.
This is not an easy task, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is just a pipe dream.
Li Mo glanced sideways, his strange gaze catching sight of the vermilion stigmata on his back. As the pollution accumulated, the faded, strange stigmata returned to their original appearance.
It contains a confinement agent that condenses the Honkai energy of almost all Herrschers and their special powers. It is powerful but cannot be used.
Even if it can be used, Li Mo alone cannot accurately disconnect the End and the Cocoon of the End. He will only contaminate both into unknown weirdness.
But the reason why the stigmata can do this after becoming strange is unknown.
In my memory...this kind of thing did happen.
"..."
"..."
"Mysterious abilities are etched into my soul. As long as I let my instincts take over my body, I'll naturally know how to use them."
Li Mo suddenly talked to himself, repeating what he had said to Ling who had just revived.
But this time, he was talking to himself.
"When Otto Apocalis handed this stigmata to me, he didn't tell me the steps and methods for using it. I didn't ask... that didn't make sense."
Chapter 66 Returning to the Original World: The Beginning of Despair and Hope
Li Mo had never thought deeply about what happened before, because all of Otto's actions were consistent with the original work, whether it was his words, actions, or attitude, they were all too subtle.
The tone of the hermaphrodite and the various subsequent actions cannot be said to be exactly the same, but they can be said to be completely consistent.
Resigned from the position of Bishop of the Mandate of Heaven and completely withdrew from the Mandate of Heaven organization.
He was alone in Klosten to attract the attention of the protagonists, deliberately teased Kiana, and prayed affectionately in front of Kallen's statue, delaying his journey to the Cocoon of the End for a long time.
It can be said that if it weren't for Otto, he would never have been able to reach the Cocoon of the End without telling Kiana and the others, let alone tamper with the rules.
It's as if Otto did those things to help himself, even though that's not the case in the original book.
Everything that happened in that world happened exactly as Otto had planned, without any time lag.
Especially that incredible and vague memory.
My memory shouldn't be blurry, every second should be clear. But when Beichen mentioned the place where Otto last arrived, he actually blurted out that small home full of warmth and happiness.
With blurred vision, he saw Otto go to the rental house after his death and stay there for a while before leaving.
It seems he said something else...
What are you talking about?
Li Mo desperately tried to recall his memories, and suddenly, looking at the boundless starry sky, he uttered, "Now that you're dead, I finally don't have to pretend anymore..."
Li Mo: “???”
"What...do you mean? Pretending to be something?"
Li Mo continued to recall.
Otto seemed to be just in time to catch Kiana and carry her head back.
If this is true, then Otto probably already knew what would happen in the future.
Those inflammatory words are nothing but lies.
Indeed, he is a liar himself and rarely speaks the truth.
Thinking about it this way, every word Otto said was too directed at me at that time.
There were some things that even he himself hadn't noticed at the time, but Otto knew everything about them. He seemed to understand what Li Mo was pursuing and what he was afraid of even better than he did...
Li Mo immersed himself in memory—
"The person you care about most, the most outstanding Valkyrie, the strongest Herrscher, Kiana Kaslana... she may not approve of your will."
"Just as she and her companions are racking their brains to fight against the World Serpent and me. What they envision is that through their own efforts, humanity can live openly in the sunshine, rather than living in the shadows of illusion."
"Don't you sound like the protagonist in a novel or comic? Dazzling and brilliant, unlike people like you and me who are only fit to walk in dark and gloomy corners."
"Do you want all her efforts to be in vain? Or do you simply think that her efforts are not worth mentioning, and the World Serpent's Stigma Project is more in line with your expectations?"
"She hasn't reached the standard to transcend the End yet. If even she can't reach it, no one will be able to stop the Stigma Project."
"Believe me, my friend, anger born of love can give a person a power equal to or greater than love itself."
"So, like me... Li Mo, die voluntarily for the one you love, and die voluntarily."
"You only have one chance to choose, and once you make your choice, there is no turning back."
"..."
"..."
Li Mo slowly opened his eyes, his lips slightly parted, and he uttered a puzzling question into the void before him: "How does he know that Kiana hasn't reached the standard for transcending the End? That world... shouldn't have anything to support his knowledge of this."
Li Mo grasped the blind spot and continued to analyze and think.
Otto, who was determined to save Kallen and reach the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, could not possibly spend so much time studying the Cocoon of the End.
To him, the Cocoon of the End was nothing, and whether he could kill it, persuade it, or control it was unimportant. Because he had no chance of meeting the Herrscher of the End, let alone seeing the Cocoon of the End.
What does it have to do with him whether Kiana meets the recognition standards of the Cocoon of the End?
His heart should be on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, the origin of the world, rather than an unrelated cocoon of the end.
There was no way he could know that Kiana did not meet the standards of the Cocoon of the End.
Anti-Entropy and World Serpent put all their focus on this, and finally determined that Kiana was the most suitable candidate to be recognized by the Cocoon of the End, and made a series of efforts to help Kiana better meet the recognition standards of the Cocoon of the End.
Even so, Anti-Entropy and World Serpent dare not conclude that Kiana must meet the acceptance criteria of the Cocoon of the End. How can Otto, who has nothing to do with this matter, know?
As I think more deeply, more and more unreasonable things appear, and each thing reveals a hint of weirdness.
Combined with Beichen's previous hint, a very absurd idea appeared in Li Mo's mind. Because it was too bizarre, Li Mo didn't think it was possible at all.
"Can't the same person appear in the same time and space..."
"The first weird... If Beichen wasn't lying and the first weird was indeed Kiana, then the weird stigma definitely didn't come from that time and space, but was brought there by someone from the future."
"And that person definitely can't be 'Li Mo'. The same person can't appear in the same time and space."
Li Mo was silent for a while, his tone becoming increasingly low:
"If I absolutely need to go back, I can only use another identity."
"..."
"But why did you go back? Why did you go to the time and space where the first weird was born and do such a thing?"
Li Mo couldn't figure it out. He thought it was impossible for him to do such a thing. After all, it was contrary to what he had been doing. It was contradictory, conflicting, and irreconcilable.
Allowing the first monster to be born is equivalent to helping the monster spread, and he is now preventing the monster from spreading.
The two are not on the same path at all.
Excluding himself, there was too little information and Li Mo could not find any other possibilities.
What's more, even for him, it is difficult to travel through time and space.
There are three known methods, each of which carries a significant risk of complete death.
The first one: seize Guiqi's space-time ability.
This method cannot be replicated at present. There is nothing here that can curb the weirdness of Guiqi. Once Guiqi descends, you will surely die.
In the castle tower of Yae Village, even the strange Endyan, which had been polluted for 50,000 years, could not be defeated. Ling, who had also been polluted for only 50,000 years, naturally could not restrain Guiqi.
It was pure luck at the beginning. There was a corpse identical to his own in St. Freya's College. Combined with the rules of the hanged ghost, he performed a "transfer" and made Guiqi mistakenly believe that he was dead, but in fact he was still alive.
This is why there was the echo of the coffin later. Using some "twisted method", he competed in physical strength, made Guiqi dizzy, and temporarily seized all of Guiqi's abilities.
(The echo of the coffin? The coffin keeps echoing!)
However, the corpse had no head, and its body and clothes were exactly the same as mine. It was very strange... Shouldn't the same person appear in the same time and space? So who was that corpse?
The second way: make a wish.
The fictional Mei gives up herself and allows the strange bud to come out and show strange abilities.
This strange ability is, to some extent, far greater than any other strange ability.
There is no limit to the weirdness in the rules. It is not like some Herrschers who seem to possess the four forces of the universe and master the rules that the physics community dreams of, but are limited by the upper limit of energy output and their performance is worrying.
There is no limit to the weird abilities, and as long as you are willing to pay the price, you can obtain the weird gaze.
But the transaction is too equal. The more the desire to distort reality is, the greater the amount of pollution will be generated. In addition, there are additional direct exchange conditions.
For example, exchanging one life for another is the most basic, but if you exchange an ordinary person's life for your own life, that is obviously impossible.
By making a wish to travel to the corresponding time and space, if it is just to go back to the past a few hours, it should not cost too heavy a price, but the time when the first weirdo was born... can be traced back to at least a million years ago. The price required to be paid is so high that even if all the people on the earth are handed over, they will not be able to afford it.
Then there is the third method, which is a method of traveling through time and space with almost no side effects that Li Mo has only witnessed since coming to this world: uploading the consciousness of a pseudo-human.
Ability to freely go back to a certain time and space where consciousness exists, without any cost, side effects, or unnecessary pollution.
It's perfect, but there are two strict restrictions.
The first one is to become a fake person, which Li Mo obviously cannot do. Becoming a fake person just to travel through time and space is not worth it.
Who knows whether his consciousness is still intact after becoming a pseudo-human, and whether he is still Li Mo.
The second is that one can only go back to a time and space where traces are left, and it is impossible to go back to a time and space that does not exist at all.
No matter what, let's proceed according to Mei's plan.
You only need to make your own decisions about things that are not planned.
Li Mo thought as always.
Back on Earth, the divine pattern of the end covered the sky and the sun. No matter from which angle on Earth you looked up, you could see the oppressive golden pattern.
Li Mo did not choose to fight, but returned to Ling and let Ling fight against Zhongyan, while he played as a supporting role to delay time.
At this time, Ling had absorbed almost all the life on the earth. The huge vitality contained in his body was enough to keep him conscious for a long time.
Finally, on the second battlefield of the End, the Ruler of the End was drained of vitality by the unfolding Seeds of Sorrow.
