Chapter 412 Nihility in the Narrow Sense
Low-level life forms are subject to rules and order. Not only that, they also exist dependent on order. Without the existing order and rules, they will wither and annihilate.
And high-level life forms can walk in the void.
From the perspective of the inferior, the superior cannot look directly, cannot touch, and cannot easily desecrate.
So they are called "shadows".
From this point of view, it seems that the origin of the definition of shadow is from the bottom up, rather than that such a concept existed at the beginning.
This also seems to prove one thing from another angle, that is, the gods walking above the order today also evolved from low-level life forms, and they also once descended from the lower-level ones. Identity, looking up at the "dark shadow" in the starry sky.
......
So, the moment Milo's broken body recovered, this confrontation was no longer a confrontation between mortal power and the Dominator.
This is no accident, there have been many obscure foreshadowings before.
This fact is already illustrated by the fact that the Abyss Old Man, who represents the dream gods in the dreamland, included Milo within the scope of the contract.
Similarly, the Scarlet Witch, who disappeared every time something happened, had foreseen a close confrontation a long time ago, and only then said words to make it "get what she wanted."
As the architect of this Foolish God plan, Imnar may have sensed it a long time ago, but it did not expect that a life form that still retains enough humanity could be promoted to the Shadow. sequence.
Because even among the huge group of Old Dominators, there is a strict hierarchy, and Shadow is one of the biggest dividing lines.
The rulers at the top of this sequence are not only extremely destructive to the lower ones, they are also lethal to the same type of life forms, that is, other old beings.
...
Milo has not yet truly mastered the power of Shadow.
The most obvious point is that he is not yet able to fiddle with the order of existence in the real world like Imnar, but at least he can exist outside of these orders, and this is enough.
"To be honest, if you didn't play like this, I might never be able to touch this sequence."
Milo stood in nothingness, calmly looking at his raised hand A hot red light glowing on the arms.
He felt the pure power that existed independently after he was separated from the order, the vision provided by spiritual vision, the destructive power brought by the blood of Sothos, the body obtained by the Holy Communion sacrifice, and the fear provided him of endless power.
Whether it is the real world or the dream world, when Milo is under the shroud of order, he has never been able to clearly touch and control the series of inhuman characteristics in his body, as if he has been blinded There was a layer of fog.
But now in the void, the powers that have existed in his body for a long time are placed in front of him like tangible objects, so clear and real.
......
"At this level, isn't it a bit unreasonable to fight with fists and kicks?"
He looked down at his hands and murmured to himself:
"Just like in comic book and television works where the main method of warfare between space armies is hand-to-hand combat, it would seem very cheap..."
< br>Milo laughed somewhat self-deprecatingly, and looked up at the most dazzling life form in his field of vision at the moment:
“But I have to say that human imagination is still limited. For the time being, I can't think of a more classy way."
The next second, his figure disappeared into the world of nothingness.
Perhaps we should change the mantra of "next second", because at this moment the order of time has fallen asleep, and the real order is imitated by fractals to another dimension.
“So it should be considered teleportation, right?”
Bang! ! !
Milo, who appeared behind Imnar, punched his head from top to bottom.
……
(Stop! Please pause here) Following the previous logic, in the absence of various order constraints, ↑There are multiple language errors in that sentence.
First of all, there will be no "bang" sound.
Then, there should be no concepts of "up" and "down" directions.
In the end, there was no time difference between Milo's muttering and his fist hitting Imnar.
The most reasonable way to describe it is - he talks and attacks.
Yes, it is so pure and simple.
Putting aside all descriptions, including a series of cumbersome and complex elements such as onomatopoeia, static postures, dynamic operations, etc., in the world of nothingness, the fight between the old rulers of the Shadow Sequence is just like There are only two words left, attack.
Until one of the parties dies.
But.
Here we have to enter into a paradoxical issue again.
When all order is really stripped away and enters the eternal void space, will the concept of "death" still exist?
Death on the physical level means the permanent cessation of life activities.
But this sentence alone involves several existing orders, matter, time, and space. If there are no restrictions and explanations from these orders, what does death mean?
After all, when everything truly disappears into nothingness, and even death ceases to exist, does attack lose its meaning?
……
At a certain moment, Milo once again felt something of a higher level slipping through his mind, just like the fractal theory thinking triggered by Finn's elementary school question about three matches.
"It is not the dead who sleep eternally. In the wonderful eternity, even death will disappear." - "The Necronomicon"
In fact, that ancient book The above sentence has already told the truth.
…
…
In nothingness.
Milo can talk, think and attack at the same time.
The slumber of the order of time released the restrictions of the past, but it also led him into another level of chaos.
However, with Milo's level, he could not sort out such chaotic thoughts in an instant. The only assumption he could make was:
Even if he has regained his godhead The fractal rules that Imnar masters cannot create true nothingness. Those orders that are beyond the understanding of the Old Ones still exist. Imnar cannot touch them, nor can he copy or imitate them.
It is the order beyond the understanding of the old rulers that gives meaning to this fight.
This means that the so-called nothingness is only the nothingness that Milo and Imnar perceive.
Otherwise, if even death disappears, then the two of them can only stare at each other in nothingness until eternity.
......
Order defines death, and death gives the killing purpose.
Therefore, this confrontation at the level of the old rulers has meaning to continue.
In this narrow sense of nothingness, a war beyond the comprehension of mortals was staged. But to summarize it in words, it can only be so bland -
Attack,
Counterattack,
Attack,
Counterattack...
And so on, the cycle continues.
Until "death" defined by a higher level of order appears in one of the parties.
……
Only then did Milo finally understand that it was not that he could clearly grasp the spiritual vision, the destructive power of the blood of the outer gods, and the body of the Holy Eucharist at this moment, but that he could only use these powers in the narrow sense of nothingness.
Limited by the imagination of a low-level person, the attacks he can only make are hand-to-hand combat filled with the primitive wildness of human beings.
But from another perspective, perhaps on Imnar's side, the attacks it received were not just punches and kicks.
All in all, this is an extremely chaotic, twisted, but at the same time extremely pure and simple fight.
There are no landslides, no stormy waves, and no terrifying movements of the sky and earth changing color.
Silent and breathless.
The life forms at the lower level don’t even know that such a life-and-death fight exists.
And since there is no common danger in traditional high-energy duels, there are no bystanders, and there is no Golden Gate Bridge that has to be cut off every time the doomsday comes... this fight in nothingness will appear. It's a bit quiet, even boring.
…
…
At the Opéra Garnier.
Everything is quiet.
The survivors who did not die in the first wave of storm are still in a state of sleep.
And because the void temporarily severed the connection between Milo and the Exiled Shadows, the "big project" of the Exiled Shadows moving the survivors outside the opera house was also forced to stop. Seven people The group once again fell into a state of confusion and chaos.
……
However, just like the cat in the box, there are always two completely opposite situations.
Since the order of the real world has fallen asleep, it means that Imnar's fractal rules have created a completely consistent order system in the world of imitators, including time, space, matter, energy... …
From this moment on, Nanwei City in the imitator world became a city that truly existed.
Here, Imnar's fractal body can no longer restore the manor that Yan destroyed as easily as before.
In short, it is no longer the creator here.
Because order has arrived, everything here is closer to "reality" than ever before.
…
So, as inferiors, since our souls, organs, and knowledge cannot help us understand that boring battle in nothingness, we might as well fight with the sleeping Nan Wei Like the citizens, they temporarily forgot about the incomplete Nanwei City.
Turn your attention to the imitator Nanweicheng.
At least the fighting here is visible to the naked eye.
whee.
…
…
23rd Parish.
Abandoned back-to-back residential area to be built, the area where the Varrocan family first lived.
The strong winds that carried Enid came with billowing black smoke.
"Cough cough cough!!!... Wow cough cough..."
As soon as he landed on the ground, Yan began to vomit blood crazily.
He fell to his knees, and the sound of blood spurting from his mouth and nose was quite terrifying.
After dragging the unconscious Enid to the corner of the ruins of the abandoned residence, Yan gritted his teeth and walked towards the underground area that was opened after the wall of the building collapsed.
This was originally a section of Nanwei City’s original underground rainwater transportation network.
On the hunting night, the night when Yan acted as a warrior to block the door, an inexplicable explosion turned the building upside down, and at the same time, Yan discovered this natural underground place. Secret place.
Now it is called "The Dungeon".
In the dungeon, three "old acquaintances" were imprisoned.
They are, respectively, the clergy of the Golden Rule Church, and two bloodthirsty creatures from the distant Cainhurst Castle.
And so tonight's most outrageous coincidence occurred.
Now in this ruins, everyone upstairs and downstairs are all "fish that slipped through the net" under Imnar's fractal rules.
Except for the special case of Enid, everyone else is not a normal person.
In other words, they are the few non-imitators in Nanwei City, the imitator at this moment.
……
Countless beasts are approaching the 23rd Parish.
In the dark night, this street is as scary as hell.
“Dang!!!”
The sound of chains being cut came from the dungeon.
…
Yan gasped and looked at Dillashaw, who was half-soaked in the rain and his face was ashen:
“I can’t find my great son, and now you are the only one who can help me. What should I say? ”
Ah attack, counterattack, attack, counterattack, attack, counterattack~~~~~~~
