Father Mavie

Buggy opened his eyes, and in a flash, he came to a floor tile. He tapped the corner of the floor tile with his finger and heard a crisp sound. The floor tile immediately fell apart and turned into a ball of gravel and fell, revealing a dark hole.

Drilling into the cave entrance and shuttling between the stone paths, Buggy soon came to a huge space below Avalon and saw a magic circle the same size as the island. The magnificent texture was like a master's carving, and the brocade lines It is like the miraculous craftsmanship of nature. Even Baji, who has seen a lot, can't help but admire the beauty of the craftsmanship of the magic circle.

"You have really touched upon the secret of the God of Creation, Merlin. It's a pity that the key thing is missing."

Touching the edge of the magic circle, Buggy said softly: "I hope you can forgive me for ruining your life's work."

After saying that, Buggy clenched his fists and hit the place where the white light was. The magic circle the same size as the island let out a cry, cracked and exploded quickly, and the magic flowing in it burst out. Ma Wei and others could only hear the sound under their feet. There was a muffled sound like an explosion, and the next second, the black hole in the sky disappeared.

The body fell to the ground. Ma Wei immediately checked on Yunia and Levin. After making sure that they were fine, he looked at Luca who was applying seriously: "Was it Buggy's magic just now?"

"It's Buggy's main magic."

Luca said quietly: "The eye of illusion that can see through the origin of all things. He can find the weaknesses of anything and destroy it easily. Don't think that Baggy is weak. He is the only god of faith born from the fruit of the alchemy tree. , and only He has accomplished the feat of fighting the three supreme ancient gods.”

Nodding, Ma Wei picked up Yunia and said, "When can you awaken your own Lord God's magic?"

"I've already woken up." Yunia muttered, "I just can't use it."

"The laws she has devoured, or the truth she has mastered, are not enough." Luka said, "You should find more food for her."

"food?"

"It's a god." Luka smiled: "Yunia's promotion route is different from that of ordinary gods. The accumulation of power comes from believers, but the godhood required for promotion needs to come from other gods. The definition of truth is too broad. It can be Inclusive of everything.”

"I don't understand you."

"In layman's terms, the power of faith provided by believers is her flesh and blood, and the law of truth is her bones." Luca explained: "With imperfect bone development, no matter how much flesh and blood she has, it will not change her. Being stronger can even become a life-threatening burden.”

"On the contrary, when she collects the laws of truth, she can grow and accommodate more flesh and blood until she grows into a giant."

Ma Wei frowned: "Yunia must eat other gods to grow? What kind of fallacy is this?"

"It's not about eating other gods, but about merging the truth and swallowing the laws." Luca said: "For example, do you know what the truth of order is? If you can't figure it out on your own, then you can devour the godhead of the God of Order and fuse it. His law, the God of Order, does not die, but can continue to live by clinging to the God of Truth as long as he becomes a believer in the truth.”

"Like Selina, the goddess of happiness?"

"Who is Salina?" Luka had never heard of this name.

"fine."

Ma Wei shook his head. Just then, Buggy came back and destroyed the magic circle built by Merlin. He was not happy and just asked to move on.

The remaining dozens of stone giants were sucked into the black hole and never came back. Ma Wei and others arrived at the top of the mountain unimpeded and saw the plum tree and the silver sword under the tree.

"Where's the mirror demon?" Levin looked around.

"Hiding in the mirror world." Buggy sneered: "They can't stop us, are they going to come out and die?"

"makes sense."

Even the magic left by Merlin couldn't stop Ma Wei and the others, and the Mirror Demon was certainly not able to stop them.

Arriving in front of the silver sword, Ma Wei held the hilt of the sword and pulled it hard. The Kungunir mark left by Odin was instantly activated and began to assimilate the silver sword.

Under Levin's nervous gaze, the silver sword began to rise slowly. Mawei increased his strength again. As the sword continued to be pulled out, the towering plum tree began to shake more and more, as if something was about to come out.
chap!
The silver sword broke away from the stone. Ma Wei stumbled backwards, took a few steps to steady himself, and looked intently. He saw that the plum tree stopped shaking, and countless green leaves quickly turned yellow and fell from the branches.

It was like an autumn snowfall. When the last yellow leaf fell, the plum tree began to shrink, and an old man's face protruded from the rugged trunk. The plum tree that was still lush and leafy just now turned into a plum tree in the blink of an eye. He met an old man with a white beard who was about to die.

His turbid eyes looked at Baji. After a long silence, the old man said, "Follow me," and then turned around and walked into the palace holding the wooden staff.

The palace was empty and covered with dust. It was more like a dilapidated temple than a palace. It was empty and exuded a cold atmosphere.

clatter.
clatter.
Every time the old man took a step, the crutch in his hand would tap the floor tiles. The magic circle hidden under the palace was activated, and a pool rose from the ground. The old man walked into the pool, and when he came out again, his figure had become the same as that of a young man. , has long black hair and is full of energy.

Seeing the young old man, Buggy's lips twitched twice: "Merlin."

"Don't call me by my name! You traitor!"

Merlin stared into Buggy's eyes and said fiercely: "I used to trust you so much, but you betrayed us!"

"You guys were out of control and I had to do this."

"Shut up! I don't want to hear your explanation!"

Even if tens of thousands of years have passed, Merlin still has not let go of his original grudge. When he dealt with Buggy, he was angry and sensitive, but when he turned to face Mawei and the others, he showed gentleness and wisdom.

"You saved me and allowed me to escape the mirror world. Thank you."

"you are welcome."

"What has become of the outside world?" Merlin was very curious: "Are humans still worried about attacks from extraordinary creatures? I once promised them that I would lead the tribe to create a homeland for humans, but I failed. But I hope future generations can succeed."

"You mean the Golden Gods?"

"Yes, it's them. They taught alchemy knowledge to humans, didn't they?" Merlin smiled: "I think humans must have used alchemy to live a happy life."

"."

After a long silence, Ma Wei said: "The golden age has perished."

"What?" Merlin was stunned: "Who replaced them? Human beings who have learned alchemy can definitely live a life of abundant materials! Why did they abandon the golden gods?"

"The one who replaced the golden gods is the Odin pantheon, who is the master of Kungunir." Ma Wei introduced Luca to Merlin: "This is a member of the Odin pantheon, a former member, his name is Luca, the God of Liberty.”

Before Merlin could ask, Luca said first: "The era of Odin has also been replaced. The one who defeated us is the Apocalypse God System. Now, it is the time when the new God System rises. Mavi Enders is the leader of the Truth God System." The creator of the Apocalypse, Yunia is the goddess of truth, and they want to defeat the Apocalypse pantheon and replace them."

"So." Merlin said in a hoarse voice, "Has it been so long outside?"

"Yes, tens of thousands of years."

"Merlin, our era has passed." Buggy took the opportunity to say: "The change of times is inevitable and we cannot stop it. Even the golden gods you were once very optimistic about have been overthrown."

"Belief has stages. Human beings at a certain stage of life will believe in whatever they need, and then faith in God will be born."

"When human beings enter the next stage, they will naturally no longer need the beliefs of the previous stage. They will pursue new things, new ideas, and new knowledge. Our mission is completed."

Merlin did not say a word, nor did he refute Baji, but simply asked: "Since we have been abandoned by the times, why do you still come to me?"

"Because this is Avalon." Ma Wei said: "Although the real era has become history, people still sing the story of Avalon. Countless people believe that this is the Paradise, the Holy Land, and the Island of God's Blessing."

Merlin's eyes lit up for a moment, but then dimmed again: "God's Blessed Island. I am not a competent god. Because of my mistakes, the tribe was destroyed. I am guilty."

"What exactly are you researching?"

Ma Wei asked curiously: "I heard from Buggy that you are studying the God of Creation?"

"To be precise, they are the rules set by the Creator God."

The wooden stick tapped the floor tiles, and the newly raised pool turned into a mirror, with an aerial view of Avalon inside.

Merlin pointed at Avalon and said: "The kingdom of God we created is actually a whole, with unique operating rules, such as wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. Many years ago, I suddenly thought, is it possible that where we are? Is the real world also a kingdom of God?”

"The one who created this Kingdom of God is the Creator God."

"But the God of Creation is dead, isn't he?" Levin interjected: "He became the three supreme ancient gods, Belial, Arabi and Asis, and then these three supreme ancient gods created many An extraordinary race."

"But have you ever seen these extraordinary races give birth to gods?" Merlin said word for word: "Extraordinary creatures gain more power by devouring each other. They cannot give birth to gods through faith. Only humans can do it. Human creation Out of belief in God.”

After hearing this, Ma Wei immediately thought of Fat Orange and Xiao Hei. As the cat army continued to grow, more cats believed in Fat Orange, but Fat Orange's power did not increase and still came from Yunia.

He originally thought it was because Fat Orange believed in Yunia, but now it seems...
It doesn't seem that simple.

"The ancient gods gained more power by devouring each other, and the same is true for the extraordinary races they created." Merlin said expressionlessly: "The source of the birth of human beings is difficult to find, but there is no doubt that humans cannot pass through like the ancient gods. Devouring each other to gain strength, believing in becoming gods is the only way out."

"Two different paths mean that the source of human beings is not an ancient god, but most likely a higher-level creation god."

"Wait a minute, why do you conclude that it was the Founding God who created human beings? Aren't the Ancient Gods separated from the Creation God?" Levin looked confused.

"A plate is broken and you want to restore it to its original state. What should you do?"

"Glue it up."

“What if you don’t have a plate and want to make one?”

".That would be very troublesome. You need to find clay for firing."

"Yes."

Merlin nodded and said: "You have already told the answer. If the ancient gods want to become the God of Creation, they need to devour each other. On the contrary, humans take the path of directly creating the God of Creation!"

"But..." Ma Wei and Levin looked at each other: "Didn't Buggy say that even if the three supreme ancient gods merge together, they cannot become the God of Creation?"

"Is there no cracks in the glued plate? Is it still the same plate?"

Ma Wei was immediately asked. A broken plate is like spilled water. It can never be restored to its original state unless...
"Except it's not ordinary glue that holds them together."

Merlin said: "Asis made the Demon Gate and sealed Belial and Arabi, but she did not devour them immediately. She probably realized that swallowing Belial and Arabi could not promote her to the God of Creation. Find other ways, a unique glue.”

The wooden staff waved, and the scene in the pool turned into a huge magic circle.

"For so many years, I have been studying the rules left by the God of Creation. I believe that if you want to uncover the mystery of the God of Creation, you must start with the ancient gods and the endless darkness. How many lost kingdoms of gods are there in the endless darkness? ? What is beyond the endless darkness?"

Merlin narrowed his eyes and said: "These mysteries are what I want to solve no matter what. I don't need my power or my life, I just want to solve the mystery of the God of Creation."

"Because you couldn't catch the ancient gods, so you used extraordinary races instead?"

"Yes, their principles are the same anyway." Merlin shrugged: "Nearly a few decades ago, I found a breakthrough. The magic circle you see is a treasure I made with my whole life. It can break The rules set by the Creator God.”

"What rules? Create a black hole and suck people in?"

Merlin shook his head: "Behind the black hole is endless darkness. It is easy to send people into the endless darkness, but difficult to call them back."

Buggy understood somewhat: "The rules of the Kingdom of God are that gods who are exiled to the endless darkness can only stay in their own Kingdom of God and cannot leave. It is like a prison, the black hole opened by the magic circle just now."

"Yes, that's right." Merlin grinned: "The magic circle I created can allow gods to leave their own kingdom and enter the endless darkness."

"What's the benefit of doing this?"

"What's the benefit?" Merlin raised his eyebrows: "How did you come to Avalon?"

"Light the white candle that connects the gods!"

"That's the crux of the matter."

Merlin said: "If I stay in the Kingdom of God, I can only open the door to the Kingdom of God and wait for your arrival. On the contrary, if I can enter the endless darkness, I can receive guidance from the real world and return!"

"This experiment has been successful!"

"Decades ago, Vivian and the others sent Minnie away!"
