Chapter 85: The goddess is really in trouble (Part 2)
"...The so-called 'world' is something that has the attributes of both time and space. It takes the moment of the birth of the universe as its source and is like rivers. Depending on the difference in time and space, there will be many Rivers flowing in different directions flow together. Under normal circumstances, each river representing a 'world' should flow independently of each other without interfering with each other. But in fact, in the meandering flow, Occasionally, different rivers will be so close to each other that they are just a little bit close to intersecting. As long as a little magic is applied to the closest 'point', the two worlds will touch each other, and the 'door' connecting the different worlds will also come into contact. It will open automatically. The 'door' located on the hill of Arnus was built by the magicians hired by the empire under my guidance, and connected your world based on the above principles."
Facing the crowd of people on earth who were watching, the goddess Handy possessed by the young magician Lelei was not afraid to speak so eloquently, "...According to my original idea, this should be able to make people happy like before. The continent of Falmat has added more new species, culture, knowledge and technology, making the world more lively, noisy, exciting and beautiful - in fact, this world is currently Most of the more interesting things on the land basically came from another world. Before the 'door' on the top of Arnus Hill was opened for the first time, there was really almost nothing on the Falmat continent. , and it has remained unchanged for thousands of years. There is not even a little bit of freshness in life. It is so lonely and boring that it is almost desperate..."
"...That's nice to say, I think you just want to create chaos for fun!" Rory Mercurial snorted, seemingly prejudiced.
"...Ah, if you have to say that, it's okay! Anyway, I really want the world to become more interesting."
Goddess Handy continued to smile calmly, "...Everything in the world is opposite and unified. Where there is light, there should be darkness, and where there is order, there should be chaos. Compared to other worlds that are vibrant and changing with each passing day. , the development of the Falmat continent is too slow. Without the changes and excitement brought by cross-dimensional exchanges, it is really difficult to imagine what a boring world it would be..."
"...You mean, you opened the time and space gate for communication across planes? In the form of communication of aggressive wars and massacres and plunder?"
Mayor Wang Meiling raised her eyebrows, "...don't think we don't know what happened to the last other world invaded by the Imperial Expeditionary Force!"
"...Aha! I have never said that this kind of communication is a polite and friendly visit to another world? Moreover, natural selection and the law of the jungle should be common sense in all universes! No one can condemn it. Wolves hunt cattle and sheep, but no one can blame the cattle and sheep for goring the hungry wolves to death with their horns. In short, power is justice, violence is justice, and the winner should be able to do whatever he wants without any criticism..."< br>
Her Highness Handi, the Goddess of the Underworld in the Falmat continent, curled her lips in disapproval and said calmly that it was a seriously politically incorrect view on the modern earth, but it was consistent with history and natural common sense, "... Use swords to fight. Expanding territory and coercing the weak to surrender and pay tribute are the natural privileges of the strong. The empire believes that it has invincible military power and wants to invade and plunder you. This is normal and there is nothing worthy of condemnation. reason , the magicians of the empire were careless and accidentally opened the door under the water on your side, causing their army to be wiped out by a huge flood. It was the empire's own fault, and it was not worthy of pity. With stronger force, you easily pushed back to the Falmat continent on the other side of the door and killed the emperor and his army. I didn't express any objection at all!
After all, I am just the king of Hades on this continent, and my only reasonable duty is to let the souls after death be taken care of in Hades. As for how well they lived during their lifetimes... I am neither the God of Wealth, nor the God of Agriculture, nor the God of Love. What does the quality of living people's lives have to do with me? ”
"...However, you are here after all, and you have declared that you want to close the space-time door on the top of Arnus Hill. Your Highness Handy."
Wang Qiu frowned and said coldly, "...Are you here to help the die-hard empire who brought trouble to themselves and expel outsiders like us?"
"...Of course not. In fact, I very much welcome new civilized groups to come to the Falmat continent to add more vitality to this land that lacks change and progress, making it more lively, noisy, and colorful. Colorful... The elves, orcs, dwarves, dragons, humans and goblins and other civilized races living on the Falmat continent today are actually immigrants from other worlds that I invited from other worlds using the time and space gate. Including you, there is nothing That is to say. Even if you want to defeat and destroy the empire and become the next overlord of the Falmat continent, I am still optimistic about the success. After all, people are born, old, sick, and dead, and things are old and new. Naturally, countries, civilizations and hegemons cannot remain unchanged, otherwise they will become stale and degenerate in a layer of unchanging decay, as disgusting as a smelly rotten corpse. But the problem is..."
Having said this, Handy, the goddess of the underworld who had been smiling all the time, suddenly turned serious, and two sharp cold gleams flashed in her eyes, "...Although I never mind the replacement of the overlord of Falmat Continent, I absolutely don’t want to see this world become a vassal of another world!”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
After hearing these words, Wang Qiu finally understood what Goddess Handi meant - she seemed to have positioned herself as the land of Falmat, rather than the guardian of any country or race on the continent. Therefore, in the face of the battles and battles of various races and countries, Goddess Handy maintained a neutral attitude of bystander, overlooking the joys and sorrows of all living beings with an attitude similar to "the world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs".
She hopes to see this land flourish with vitality and become civilized and prosperous, but she doesn't care who creates this vitality and prosperity. Whether they are elves, orcs, humans, or other races, they are all part of this land and are representatives of civilization on the Falmat continent. Even if these groups originally came from other worlds, as long as they migrated here, they were residents of Falmat Continent. Even if war and death occur in the exchanges between different ethnic groups, it is something she can understand, because the evolution and sublimation of civilization have never been separated from blood and fire.
However, the only thing that Goddess Handi cannot accept is that governments from other worlds send troops to conquer the Falmat continent through the "Gate", and attempt to rule this land forever through the "Gate" and turn this always independent world , downgraded to the humble status of a colony in one fell swoop.
——Just like the modern United States on earth, as a typical immigrant country and a melting pot of the world's nationalities, modern American society has basically suppressed racial discrimination and no longer rejects immigrants from other countries, nor does it exclude cultures from other continents. , and even accept a person of color as the president of the United States. But the only thing that cannot be tolerated is to be conquered by the armies of other countries again, causing the United States to become a colony again...
Just as Wang Qiu and others were thinking about the potential meaning of the other party's words, Goddess Handi spoke quietly again, "...Moreover, if such an abnormally generated cross-dimensional passage is maintained, it will For your world, I'm afraid it's not a good thing - based on my knowledge and experience, different worlds should not be connected originally. Therefore, if it is forced. Using a space door to connect the two worlds and tying them together is equivalent to tying a wooden ship to a wooden pile on the shore with iron chains in a turbulent torrent. The hull cannot break free from the shackles of the iron chains. You can’t get rid of the push of the water flow. It may not be obvious in a short time. If it takes a long time, what will happen next?”
Before anyone could think of the answer, Goddess Handy revealed the answer directly, "...the wooden boat will continue to collide with the dock and the river bank, creaking and rubbing until the hull and dock are knocked out of cracks... And the world and the The friction and collision between the worlds are not as easy as the little trouble between the wooden ship and the dock. As long as the two worlds are connected for too long, the dangerous consequences will cause the worlds on both sides to collapse together. "< br>
"...Do you mean...that this will cause storms and earthquakes in both worlds? But there has never been such a thing!"
Mayor Wang Meiling frowned and said suspiciously, "...Whether it is the Arnus Hills here or Hong Kong over there, it has always been peaceful."
"...Yes, I was also surprised by such an excessively calm situation, because it was completely inconsistent with my experience. Then I came here, and I was even more surprised to find this place on the Arnus hill. This space-time gate is no longer the one I first guided the imperial magicians to activate. , but has been completely transformed, and has been mixed with some kind of power that feels very strange to me. This makes the two worlds welded together as if they were cast bronze, and there will no longer be any friction between the two worlds. , and the disaster that caused the earth to collapse..."
Goddess Handy sighed, "...Originally I suspected that it was you people from other worlds who did it, but you obviously don't have such extraordinary abilities. However, now I know it is clear that this is all because of a certain 'main god system'... ...Ah, don’t be surprised! There is no need to hide anything anymore. I am a noble true god with the ability to read minds. The memories of you mortals are like an open free library to me..." < br>
Looking around at the people in the restaurant whose expressions suddenly changed, Goddess Handy couldn't help but hugged her fair arms and smiled arrogantly.
——In this regard, Wang Qiu couldn't help but feel deep regret that he had not gone to the "Harry Potter" plane to learn [Occlumency] before... This made him feel as if he was in front of Goddess Handy. The illusion of being stripped naked from head to toe, and a long-lost sense of shame.
However, now that things have come to this, Wang Qiu can only secretly complain and feel angry when faced with this goddess of the underworld who has vast but uncontrollable magical powers.
Fortunately, according to Goddess Handy, due to the intervention of the remaining power of the main god system, she also seemed to have lost absolute control over the time and space gate, and was unable to close the time and space gate on the Arnus Hill alone... Moreover, even if She really closed the space-time door, and Wang Qiu was able to open an escape route at any time. He didn't have to worry about the tens of thousands of earthlings in Arnus City being trapped in this fantasy world forever.
——Similar to the previous time travels, the old [fourth-dimensional pocket] and spare bag left by Doraemon are now placed on the earth and the other is taken to a different world. If an irreversible crisis occurs, you can rely on these two pockets that are connected to each other across time and space to build a safe and guaranteed escape channel, allowing the trapped people to get into the pockets here one by one, and then escape from the other side of the earth. crawl out of his pocket and escape Date of birth... If this is the case, most of the investments made by relevant Chinese departments in the Falmat continent will be in vain. Even if the personnel can be safely rescued and evacuated, the loss of manpower and material resources and the loss of various This kind of opportunity is still enough to make people heartbroken.
Therefore, if possible, Wang Qiu still tried his best to avoid breaking up with Goddess Handi, and instead tried to establish a cooperative relationship with her.
——At the very least, we must resolve any possible hostility she may have towards us, and never let Goddess Handy "close the door at the slightest disagreement"...
"...Ahem! Now that you know the cause and effect of all this, what else do you want to talk about?" Wang Qiu asked with a dry cough.
"...Of course there are many things I need to discuss with you!" Goddess Handy covered her mouth with a charming smile, "...For example, let's talk about your future plans, the wonderful 'main god', and what we will do next. How we should get along with each other - this is related to the future and destiny of the two worlds..."
