Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 299 The name of the disease

The phenomenon of origin assimilation.

In fact, before realizing that [Hiruko Shadow Yin] was actually [Satomi Rentaro], Xin Lailai had never thought of [Eclipse Disease] in this regard.

After all, just by using the word "origin", one can imagine that this thing is not something that low-level contractors can access under normal circumstances.

Not to mention Xin Lailai, even if a big boss like Kargus or even 83203 comes, they must face things that involve the word [origin] with absolute caution.

As of now, in the entire academic sect... and even in the entire star realm, there seems to be only one person who is clearly qualified to say that he truly understands the true meaning of the two words "origin", that is, Xin Lailai in Master Fa's The big boss that shocked Kagustad had been seen repeatedly in the pile of textbooks - the chief of the academic sect.

The term "Original Assimilation Phenomenon" itself was also something Xin Lailai saw from an introduction to space-time magic signed by the other party.

——The so-called [Origin Assimilation Phenomenon] is actually a manifestation of the [Uniqueness] of [Star Boundary Rules] to [Origin].

To put it simply, it is assumed that there are suddenly two more identical individuals in this world who are not only [body] and [soul], but also have the same [origin], then under the influence of [Star Boundary Rules], these two The [origin] of two individuals will force [penetrating assimilation] to occur.

A more specific explanation is that once someone truly returns to the past time and space, and there is another person in that time and space, the [origin] will be more [massive], that is, the origin of the more powerful individual will be [Penetration phenomenon] will occur uncontrollably towards the weaker party's origin.

Just like matter with high density in the material world will penetrate in the direction of matter with low density, the same is true for the "origin assimilation phenomenon". Once there are two "identical" individuals on the "origin level" in the same time and space, both The origin will continue to be assimilated.

If we describe it in terms of changes manifested in the material world and the spiritual world, the weaker one will continue to receive power from the stronger one, while the stronger one will continue to become weaker due to the loss of its origin.

And when the [origins] of the two reach a certain balanced node, the [origin assimilation phenomenon] will completely stop, and the [origins] of the two identical individuals will form a [difference] in the process of assimilation. This becomes two [different] individuals.

In this process, there are extremely complex deep-seated changes, which even involve the "essence of the origin", which are far beyond the scope of Xin Lailai's understanding, so he only remembers some clear ideas about these things. Conclusion on the surface:

To put it simply, origin assimilation sounds like nothing, but in fact, most of the time, origin assimilation is extremely fatal to the weaker party.

Once the gap in strength is too large, it is very likely that the future self will have just returned to the past few seconds, and the past self will have been overwhelmed by the excessive pressure brought by the penetration of the source.

And once the past self dies, then the future self will naturally be erased instantly under the balance of [Star Boundary Rules] without any suspense.

——Everything has its [price], this is true for [reappearing] things [that are dead], and this is even more true for [tampering] with [the past] that has already happened.

"I was a little confused before, why their souls kept mutating even though there were no signs of being cursed. But now it seems that they are not sick, they are just being forced to accept the curse from It’s just my own strength [more powerful].”

"If my guess is correct, the batch of gastrea animals that followed the Zodiac from the Great Rift two years ago should all be transformed from the Cursed Sons, right?"

An indifferent voice sounded in the passing strong wind. The young man wearing a black and white mask stared at the 'Satomi Rentaro' in front of him and said.

"The changes in the origin have caused the gastrula virus in their bodies to be suppressed long ago, but the souls will still transform uncontrollably into the form of the gastrula under the influence of the origin."

"But their bodies cannot bear such transformation at all. Therefore, if the Zodiac and other gastrea animals are not killed in time and the origin assimilation phenomenon is terminated, they will all die from the soul changes caused by the origin assimilation. Among them, this is the essence of [eclipse disease]."

"However, your situation is different from theirs. The reason for your death was not that you could not withstand the power brought by the assimilation of the origin. After all, in terms of the result, you are the one who gave the power."

"What really caused your death was the decline of the power that had been maintaining your life due to the assimilation of the origin, which ultimately indirectly determined your death. Am I right, Lord Satomi Rentaro?"

"Satomi Rentaro" heard this and fell silent. He raised his head, and his gray-white pupils reflected the figures of Xin Lailai and Aihara Enju who had already met Satomi Rentaro.

Tick, tick...

The patter of rain fell from the swirling dark clouds in the sky, and became more and more intense amid the roar of blood-red thunder. After a while, it turned into a downpour.

Wow——!

The heavy rain beat on the gray ground, splashing water all over the ground. The translucent magic chip opened above Xin Lailai's head, covering him, Quan Momo and others, while Satomi Rentaro sat on the throne. ' Then he raised his head and looked at the sky pouring heavy rain, letting the rain wet his hair, dripping into his gray-white pupils, and sliding down his face, forming scratches like tears.

"Haha, is it the phenomenon of origin assimilation? It's really a completely unexpected gain. I didn't expect to hear such a complete explanation from the performer. Is it true that he is from the same place as Mr. Daoji? , are you really well-informed?”

In the heavy rain, 'Satomi Rentaro' stared at the sky and murmured to himself. At the same time, he put his palms on his tuxedo that had been completely soaked by the rain with difficulty, and unbuttoned the buttons one by one. The scene behind it was revealed:

Under the body covered by a tuxedo and a white shirt, there was a dark hollow about the size of a fist. In the center of the hollow, a dark heart that looked as if its hair was about to wither was hanging in it.

Things that looked like blood vessels protruded from the heart, piercing the surrounding flesh and blood, spreading on the skin, forming dark traces like spider webs, covering the entire left half of 'Rentaro Satomi''s body. .

"This is…!"

"This is Yeonju's heart. It is precisely because she, who was chosen as one of the twelve zodiac signs, gave her heart to me that I can survive and continue to live in this world."

"And this core formed by her power was used by her to save Qixing's life."

The hoarse voice slowly fell along with the sound of rain. 'Satomi Rentaro' gently placed his palm on the withered heart that would beat in a few seconds, and looked at Aihara Enju in front of him. The pure white crystal that had dimmed a lot unconsciously said:

"You are right, Mr. Performer, even if you do nothing, we will still be short-lived. In the end, we are just pieced together from the remains of people named [Satomi Rentaro] and [Aihara Enju] A corpse that can move."

"The real [Satomi Rentaro] and [Aihara Enju] died in the original war long ago."

"If Lord Daoji hadn't sacrificed his life to leave this seal, we should have died and entered the next restart a year ago."

'Satomi Rentaro' said, pointing with his palm to the looming trace on the withered heart in his chest. Xin Lailai looked around, and when he noticed the trace, his pupils shrank slightly and he groaned. , took a step back.

"What...what happened?"

Quan Momo was shocked when he saw this.

"It's nothing, it's just that I tried to feel the sword power left on it, but I was almost injured by it."

Xin Lailai said calmly, staring at the extremely hard-to-see sword mark on the dark heart, with a cold look in his eyes.

Just now, he tried to use his psychic field to peek at the sword mark left by Daoji, but he suddenly felt an extremely sharp sword force that cut off the perception of the psychic field.

Extremely restrained, extremely fierce.

Without any external objects, just one sword can defeat all kinds of magic.

'Is this the ultimate sword-crazy way...'

Xin Lailai murmured softly in his heart, and suddenly had a better understanding of the strength of the long-dead Daoji.

If the situation in the Black Bullet World were not too extraordinary, given the opponent's strength, it would be impossible for him to fail in such a world, right?

In terms of positive strength alone, Xin Lailai can be sure that if he faced Daoji now, he would have absolutely no chance of winning. The feeling that the sword power gave him was so pure that it even made him seriously doubt it. The intelligence describes the level of Daoji techniques.

——Can such a sword really be wielded by a sword master? "When the original Lord Daoji left this sword, he told me that he was betting that within a year there would definitely be a person from the same place as him who would come to this world, and he would definitely have the ability and wisdom to solve everything."

"He asked me to identify and confirm on my own to determine whether he was right in his bet."

‘Satomi Rentaro’ looked at Xin Lailai in front of him and said in a weak and hoarse voice:

"And now, I have confirmed that, Mr. Performer, you are indeed the person Mr. Daoji is talking about."

"Although you are not as good as Mr. Daoji in terms of strength, but in terms of exceeding expectations, you are better than him."

"He couldn't escape all the way with a burden, nor could he fly a dark steel mecha to fight, nor could he avoid my gaze and create a ladder to the sky, but you did all these things."

Tired...burdened? !

What a joke! She is obviously super useful, okay! !

This was something the set designer sister admitted to her personally!

Hearing what 'Satomi Rentaro' said, Quan Momo's eyes suddenly widened, and his fists immediately hardened with anger. He wished he could jump up and punch the 'Satomi Rentaro' in front of him twice.

When Rentaro Satomi, who was being supported by Enju Aihara, heard the word "Ladder to Heaven", a look of astonishment appeared in his left eye, and he looked at Xin Lailai beside him in disbelief:

"Your Majesty the Performer, you...really successfully recreated the ladder?!"

"Fortunately, I found some leftover materials from Shaogang and built one. However, I didn't tell you, Mr. Satomi, because I was worried that he could find out about it through Mr. Satomi's eyes. Mr. Satomi probably wouldn't blame me for hiding this. Is it something?"

Xin Lailai glanced at Rentaro Satomi who was standing aside and said.

"How is that possible? I'm just a little shocked that the performer can even do such a thing. Although it seems that there is no use in saying this now..."

When Satomi Rentaro said this, he stopped and moved his gaze to 'himself' who was bathed in the heavy rain in front of him. He looked at the dark heart and gray-white pupils in the other person's chest and fell silent.

In fact, if anyone present had the most complicated emotions, it was undoubtedly him who learned that what he had experienced was all caused by himself.

But after feeling the memory that emerged in his mind and witnessing the desperate situation that he had encountered, he could no longer look at Rentaro Satomi in front of him with hatred. stand up.

After finally defeating the gastrea, he was betrayed by his allies...

Because he protected the Cursed Son, he was regarded as a public enemy by all countries in the world...

People around him fell one by one, and the technology they jointly developed became the fruit of others, and they were forced to flee everywhere with a group of children...

Obviously I went back to the past, but found that I couldn't change the future at all, but was trapped in an eternal cage...

If he had experienced those experiences, perhaps he would have already become the 'self' in front of him.

"So, Mr. Performer, what are you going to do next?"

After the atmosphere in front of him once again fell into silence with only the heavy rain remaining, the voice of 'Satomi Rentaro' sounded again. He looked at the young man wearing a black and white mask in front of him and said in a hoarse and weak voice like a dying man. :

"I thought Lord Daoji could end this nightmare, but he told me that he couldn't. Instead, he chose to give his hope to the next person."

"And now, as the next person Mr. Daoji talks about, what answer do you plan to tell me?"

"Do you tell me you can't do it like Mr. Daoji did, or do you bring unexpected surprises like before, break this nightmare and bring hope to the world?"

'Satomi Rentaro' said, looking at Xin Lailai who was also looking at him, a hint of hope flashed in his gray pupils.

But the next second, a sneer suddenly sounded:

"Pfft! Hope...haha, hope?"

A burst of laughter came from under the black and white mask. Xin Lailai held her belly and couldn't help laughing, laughing so hard that tears almost came out.

When 'Satomi Rentaro' and Quan Momo and others saw this scene, they all looked shocked, as if they didn't understand why Xin Lailai suddenly reacted like this.

So, under the puzzled gazes of several people, Xin Lailai raised his head and said with a somewhat sarcastic smile:

"I said... Lord Satomi Rentaro, it seems that you have been eroded quite deeply, haven't you?"

——The world suffering from the pain called gasterozoa virus ushered in the dark steel that can restrain the gasterozoa in despair.

"Don't you realize it yet?"

——The Cursed Son who obtained the blood of Deep Darkness due to persecution by humans who relied on Dark Steel to take back the world.

"The anomaly this world has truly fallen into..."

——The pathetic person who went back to the past because he wanted to change everything, but was trapped in a cage.

"It's neither a cycle nor a mutation, but..."

——Everything has already hinted at the answer.

"It's a terminal illness called [Hope]! Hahaha...!!"

In the heavy rain, the young man wearing a black and white mask pressed one hand on the mask and held the other hand in front of his lower abdomen. He couldn't help but laugh, as if he was mocking something.

And at the edge of his sight, a line of light blue text was floating there quietly:

[Record: An abnormality in the abyss of this world has been confirmed, and its characteristics are...]

【hope】
