within phase space.
In a slightly dark room, two people sat in front of a chess board full of vicissitudes of life. The chess pieces on the board flashed in the dim light. A light woody aroma wafts through the room, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and concentration.
"The next step will be your interview with Tyrannox." Xia Xiu moved the chess pieces in his hand towards the common move without haste.
{e4}
White goes first and moves the pawn in front of the king (the pawn used to defend the king) forward two spaces.
{e5}
Seeing this, Rong Lai responded and moved the opposite pawn forward two spaces to achieve a similar purpose to White's.
"Yes, I think the wise man is right, peace is conducive to the development of the inner earth world."
Both sides used the "open opening" because both sides chose to pass The exchange of pawns opens up the center, often resulting in an open and dynamic game. Both sides influence the center of the board as much as possible, allowing them to develop their pieces and strategize more quickly on subsequent moves.
After that, the fierce fighting on the chessboard began.
{f4, exf4}
Wang Bing Xiangyi appeared.
Rong Xi chose to use the central pawn to capture White's newly launched pawn, thus exposing White's king side. However, White's central situation seems to have become more active.
"I think so too. Comfort is more important than anything else. For this comfort, how many people are willing to be slaves and servants."
{Bc4Qh4+}
White's bishop moves to c4, putting further pressure on Black's f7 point.
This move shows that the adjuster is willing to sacrifice more pieces to speed up the attack.
"Yes, comfort is more important than anything else..." Rong Lao stared at the chessboard closely.
Different from previous battles, the lawyer's moves this time put Rong Xi under deep pressure, and the opponent's moves became more aggressive than ever before.
The adjuster started with the king's infantry opening, and quickly entered a variant of the "king's infantry opening". Then, the adjuster chose to use the bishop's sacrifice to disrupt Black's formation.
"Let's talk about something else. After you became the [King] of Yerniya, do you think the policies you implemented were all based on your own justice?" The blond young man asked with a smile,
"Yes." The Lord of Distortion affirmed.
“Hypocrisy is justice or injustice?” asked the lawyer.
"Injustice." The Lord of Distortion replied.
“Theft, cheating, slavery, etc., are they just or unjust?”
"Injustice."
"For those enemies who have greatly harmed the national interests, a general punished them and enslaved them. Is it justice or injustice?"
" Justice.”
“So not lying and having debts are the general definition of justice?”
“I think so”
Xia Xiu paused. He had sacrificed a lot of chess pieces at this time, but he didn't care. He wanted to ask a very important question at this moment.
“Suppose a friend of yours gave you a weapon when he was sane, but later he went crazy and came to you to get the weapon back. Should you return it to him at this time?”
His golden eyes stared closely at the King of Distortion. This was the last inspection of a civilized observer.
[One of the elements of the Utopia: Virtue (virtue) is knowledge. 】
A simple question, but it implies the definition of virtue - [Virtue is knowledge].
Knowledge includes two types, the first is skill, and the second is judgment of good and evil.
The counterpart to [virtue is the element of knowledge] is [ignorance is the source of evil].
The former leads to heaven, and the latter also leads to "heaven", but this "heaven" refers to the head of the stars - [The God of Blindness and Stupidity].
It is rare that an element leads to the Lord of the Stars in such a clear-cut manner, and few people would worship the Lord of the Stars, because that is a completely crazy move.
Any factor that leads to the Lord of the Stars will definitely bring about the most insane disaster in the end.
In addition to the [Philosopher King] and [Dark Sun], the final result of [Utopia] also has many dangerous variants. If any variant appears in human society, it will be a new [Crisis Sequence] ].
"..., this is a weird question, I don't want to answer it."
"Why don't you want to answer it." The lawyer was a little disappointed, "You can choose to answer, friends should You should not be kind to others, but you don’t know?”
“Lawyer Tiao, why do you always ask strange questions today?” Rong Yan looked at the blond young man slightly irritably. The originally clear compound eyes were stained with a layer of chaos at some point.
"Since you don't like it, then we won't talk about it." Xia Xiu got the answer he wanted.
The chess game continued to advance, and the mediator chose to use pawns to sacrifice some major pieces (two rooks and a queen) to gain a strong attack on Black's king.
Each sacrifice seemed to make Rong Xi's defense more difficult, and ultimately gave White a decisive advantage.
It is clear that the lawyer sacrificed a lot of materials, but these sacrifices forced the ruthless king to be exposed in a position more conducive to White's attack.
“You have become irrational, Rong Xi.”
In step 23, Xia Xiu used the remaining chess pieces in his hand to confine the black king in the corner. The chess pieces have constructed a flawless killing net, and Rong Sui has no chance to resist at this moment.
"I lost..." The King of Distortion tightly clenched the king in his hand, and under his grip, the chess pieces made an overwhelming sound of breaking. Xia Xiu silently looked at Rong Lai in front of him. The other person did not have a deep understanding of thaumaturgy and etherics, so he did not know the dangers faced by projecting spirituality into the [Ether Ocean]. At this moment, it was reflected in his eyes. What came out was no longer Yelnia's body, the figure reflected in his eyes was the most terrifying existence among the stars.
In the abyss-like void of the universe, indescribable and terrifying existences are immersed in endless chaos.
Although this infinite existence has no clear form, it is full of indescribable terror and despair. The light of the surrounding stars seems to be swallowed up in this black hole-like chaotic existence, eternal and unfathomable.
Stars and galaxies twist and dance around it, as if pulled by an unknown force, all light is absorbed by it, and even time itself seems to be distorted in this boundless darkness.
The constantly reverberating drums, mixed with unidentifiable murmurs and screams, echoed in every corner of the universe, as if the entire universe was paying tribute to this supreme existence.
"Praise be to you, blind ■■■■! You exist in the boundless chaos, everlasting, and never fade away.
You are the source of ignorance and the beginning of chaos. , you make the stars flow and the universe expand, and your ignorance gives the meaning of all existence.
The core of the original chaos, the huge brilliance hidden in the eternal darkness, does not need eyes, because he witnesses. He does not need wisdom for the creation and destruction of all things, because it is itself the embodiment of the truth of all things.
Countless lives breathe under his shadow and dissipate in his whirlpool."
This is a being that cannot be described in words. He transcends all our perceptions and understandings.
His "form" - if we can call Him that - is one of pure chaos, a swirling vortex of nothingness filled with shape-shifting auras and indeterminate matter.
Disgusting tentacles, countless eyes, or other more incredible forms emerged in this chaos, and then disappeared in the next moment. But in any case, all these observations are contradictory and confusing, and no one can accurately describe the essence of this existence.
His form frantically beats the invisible giant drum and blows the flute that only produces a disgusting, monotonous tone. Everything around him is howling crazily and constantly uttering blasphemies. , whispers of impure words.
Xia Xiu only felt a little pain coming from his eyes. [Perfect Prosthetic Eyes] decisively blocked out too many meaningless [Disordered Myth Factors] and [Element Impact], but the amount of refreshes from the opponent was too terrifying. , nearly tens of billions of ether floating-point operations are refreshed per second, almost comparable to Eden at full power, and this is just his normal operation. If he goes crazy, the thaumaturge below [Miracle] They all have to go crazy together.
Xia Xiu retracted his eyes decisively. He knew that through one of his operations, he finally achieved one of the variant endings of "Utopia" in the inner earth civilization - "Civilization Reversor/King of Distortion".
Since he became the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven, he has been able to read countless times more contents of the Kingdom of Heaven's database than in his previous life. There are many heavyweight secrets in it, and the Ethics Committee asked him to After becoming a civilization observer, the open information becomes even more explosive.
Xia Xiu discovered that sometimes the Ethics Committee, even though they were like mother-in-law, could become ruthless and do things much more aggressively than the judges of the Tribunal.
The King of Distortion, this is a first-level authority secret that was blocked by Eden. Xia Xiu easily obtained this information because of his position as the second-in-command of the administration. In this information , a group of peculiar Zerg who believe in the Lord of the Stars are described in detail. This Zerg has high technology but a cruel temperament. They are also fanatical worshipers of the Lord of the Stars and have built many pyramid-shaped temples to worship Him. These temples It is also an aerospace facility capable of teleportation.
These Zerg are called in the records - [Xia Gai].
According to records, a group of [Shagai Zerg] once ran to Terra from outside the starry sky. When they arrived, they also brought down the Mimu pollution of the Lord of the Stars.
According to the first of the three laws of thaumaturgy: Like breeds like.
The native Zerg creatures of Terra, which have the same structure as the [Shagai Zerg], also began to serve the Lord of the Stars named [Shagai Zerg God] after the arrival of the [Shagai Zerg] Incarnation,
And the interesting thing is coming. At that time, the Kingdom of Heaven was trying to expel the largest group of Zerg creatures attached to the Terran Hub.
After the Kingdom of Heaven discovered the [Shagai Zerg], they did not immediately use force. Instead, they used a series of means to secretly create a Zerg Queen who unified the biological space of the entire Terra Zerg hub. Then, they When the time comes, let [Shagai Zerg] meet the Zerg Queen.
This encounter was like dry wood meeting fire, and it ignited at the first touch.
The Queen of the Zerg was successfully contaminated by the Lord of the Stars, and then she began to carry out perverse actions against the entire Zerg civilization. She tried to use a one-year construction period to complete a project that would take a hundred or even a thousand years to complete. The great social transition of the Zerg race must have been completed.
[Xin Liezhi] smelled the smell and came over to add fuel to the fire to the Zerg tribe that was in dire straits.
The entire Terra Zerg species, led by the out-of-control Zerg Queen, is basically living in dire straits - either at war or on the way to war.
Their final result is of course self-evident. Heaven will not let them leave the Zerg hub alive.
The pollution on the [Xiagai Zerg] was finally listed by Eden as a variant factor that could lead to the destruction of the [Utopia], so they were finally killed by the hard-line angels of the Kingdom of Heaven, and all of them were killed without leaving a single one.
However, even without the [Shagai Zerg], human society has had the [King of Distortion] appear more than once.
Daeva and Oletin are the best among them. When their emperors created the ideal country in their own eyes, they always made people feel scared from the bone marrow. These double giants of the era and the extraordinary had great influence on the ideal. Social pursuits and obsessions always bring huge natural disasters to mankind.
Furthermore, according to Eden's detection, the pollution from the Lord of the Stars has poured into Terra's [Mime Ocean] and cannot be eradicated at all.
When Xia Xiu first saw the content of this information, he read it with great interest.
And when he came to the inner earth world and discovered Yerniya, a highly intelligent insect-like species with both animal and plant characteristics, and after learning about their relevant civilization background and assessing their danger level, he decided to Replicate the [Civilization Reversal] experiment.
Don’t mention it, history is always surprisingly similar.
[Xin Liezhi] smelled the smell and came over, and as expected, the pollution of the Lord of the Stars was directly wrapped around Yelnia's Lord of Distortion.
The form of the question that Xia Xiu has been asking just now is a dialectical method of cross-examination called [Midwife Technique/Intellectual Midwifery Technique] to determine whether the other party is contaminated,
Midwife Technique , which is a form of philosophical inquiry. There are usually two people having a conversation, one leading the discussion and the other making assumptions by agreeing or denying the other.
This method often tends to indoctrinate and can easily lead to sophistry.
And this is also one of Xia Xiu's favorite dialectics. No matter in the past or now, he often uses [Midwife Technique] to complete part of his ideological output. And Rong Xi was the target of his output.
This is the last time Xia Xiu uses [Midwife Technique] on Rong Xi, because his goal has been completed.
The pollution of the Lord of the Stars is different from other pollution. His pollution is invisible and qualityless. Generally, as long as the Lord of the Stars takes a fancy to him, it means that the person's IQ will inevitably start to decline exponentially. Just like Rong Xi now.
The opponent did not notice at all the decline in his chess skills and the collapse of his sanity.
"Rong Yan, this is the last time we meet. I wish you peace of mind in your negotiations with Tyrannox."
The fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven faced the Distortion before leaving. The king sent his sincere blessings.
