Magical girls just want to get off work

Chapter 123 [] The fire is dying

The Kingdom of Shadows, the deepest part of the classical domed palace, passing through the wide corridor, is the bedroom of the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows.

The floor of the corridor is covered with noble and gorgeous carpets, which are exquisitely made and look extremely luxurious.

The ceiling and walls made of dark stone make people feel majestic and mysterious.

Cang Yan opened the tall door and arrived at the gorgeous and majestic queen's palace.

The first thing you see is a striking four-poster bed with a soft velvet mattress and silk sheets.

Around the bed, there are also some carefully decorated warm yellow lights, giving people a pleasant and warm feeling.

There is also a small crystal ball beside the bed, which seems to be emitting a soft light. This crystal ball conveys some mysterious information to the queen, or is connected to the root of a mysterious existence, which arouses Cang Yan's curiosity.

At a glance, it seems that this is the monitor that Her Majesty the Queen uses to watch certain areas of the earth on weekdays?

For the Queen, is it like watching TV dramas to relieve her boredom?

In addition to the gorgeous decoration and exquisite furnishings, there are also some mysterious details in the palace. Cang Yan found some ancient paintings hanging on the walls, depicting some magical and strange myths and legends.

Basically, they are a group of species wearing hoods and dragging long tails that are worshiping the stars in the universe. They are making bloody sacrifices to some kind of existence in order to pray for the blessings of the gods, so that the tribe can survive in the face of the insect plague that destroys the world. Live it down.

But God is extremely cruel. He is indifferent to the suffering on this planet. The insect plague is approaching. He has no responsibility to save these poor people. Just like a group of ants fighting on the street, how many people will stop and care about why the ants gather together. Together?

This universe is indifferent, this world is disordered.

There are too many disputes between different races. How can even immortal gods take care of everything?

Over time, as time goes by, feelings will naturally fade away.

The Lord also became indifferent.

For the entire macroscopic universe, and for humans on earth, there are only evil gods in the world. Why should the gods in the universe care about carbon-based organisms on an ordinary planet in a small galaxy that cannot even fly out of their home star?

It is precisely because of not caring that unreasonable malice is born.

What does destroying you have to do with you?

On a whim, I used boiling water to destroy the ant nest in front of my house. Why did I need the ants' permission?

Cang Yan stood in front of the scroll in the queen's bedroom, unable to regain consciousness for a long time.

Suddenly, she discovered that these paintings did not seem to be ordinary oil paintings, but were made with a mysterious magic. Different scenes would appear as time and light changed, and precise details were marked on the scrolls of the universe and stars. The location, coordinates, distance and time from Earth are breathtaking.

In other words, to be more precise, this is not a "painting", but a "history" that is happening.

That was thousands of years ago, and it happened outside the extremely distant universe of the earth. The fastest light in the world sailed for thousands of years, and finally sent this piece of history to the earth.

The universe is so big that it has no boundaries at all.

Cang Yan stretched out his hand to touch the scroll, but was suddenly pushed away by a strong force of repulsion.

On the floor of the Queen's bedroom, there are some carpets covered with exquisite map patterns. There are many mysterious symbols and strange patterns on the carpets, which constitute the most basic protective technique - no entry.

Cang Yan felt an ancient and powerful power, which was the barrier set up by the Queen of Shadow Kingdom herself.

The tables and chairs in the room are cast in precious stones and metal, while the chandeliers and prints are dazzlingly decorated with pearls and precious stones.

The window next to the bed reflected the glazed glass with magical patterns, emitting a soft light and firmly catching Cang Yan's gaze.

There is also a row of dressing tables and mirrors in the bedroom, which look very luxurious and exquisite. In that row of glass cabinets, a series of handicrafts and collectibles are displayed.

But Cang Yan could sense the queen's love and ingenuity for art. If every prop was ignored, the earth might explode into the sky.

When Cang Yan carefully looked at the queen's palace, the black-haired woman with goat's horns had already changed her clothes and walked out of the dressing room of the palace. Several small and fluffy devil bears with bat wings flew over. After the Queen's death, they are responsible for serving the Queen's daily life.

The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, wearing a luxurious robe and a crown on her head, waved her hand, and the shadows on her body that looked like living creatures slid into the floor.

The queen released her mythical transformation, and those cute demon bears disappeared out of thin air and escaped into the shadows.

The Queen returned to the human form that Cang Yan was most familiar with.

Cang Yan had a lot to say, and she also had many questions.

The Queen of the Shadow Kingdom just came to the bed, with an elegant posture, sat down slowly, and then motioned for Cang Yan to come to her side.

Cang Yan hesitated, not sure whether she should step forward. It was really hard for her to understand why Her Majesty the Queen would be so close to her. Not only did she save herself from Nip, but she also gave herself a...

Knee pillow?

"Come here, let me take a good look at you."

The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows waved to Cang Yan again.

"I...I'm a little confused..."

Facing the mysterious queen, Cang Yan was a little at a loss. She didn't know whether to get too close to the queen. This old immortal guy was probably one of the masterminds behind the whole incident, or at least an insider.

Cang Yan thought about it again and again, but she still raised her head with bright eyes.

"Who are you? You are probably not an earth creature."

"Well, it's a long story. Anyway, you can call me Sasi."

Sasi's eyes still stayed on Cang Yan.

"Sasi? Is this your real name?"

"No. This is a pseudonym. It is impossible to pronounce my real name casually. For ordinary people, pronouncing the real name is a dead end. Therefore, every time I incarnate, I will have a special pseudonym to symbolize different clones. The name of my current avatar is Sasi."

Facing Cang Yan who had many questions, Sasi patiently explained the relevant content.

"The original body? The clone? What is that?"

Sasi was obviously explaining, but Cang Yan couldn't understand it more and more. There were too many professional terms, and she felt really confused.

"For gods, it doesn't matter whether they exist or not. For example, my body is still sleeping in the depths of the void. What you see of me is just an idea, a thought, a fragment, and a clone. I have There are countless incarnations with different identities in different galaxies. The me you see is only one of them. This is why I don’t want to explain too much. It’s too troublesome and you still can’t understand it. Wait until you actually reach this field. , using your body to experience it yourself is quicker than any preaching.”

Sasi spread her hands, she was also helpless. Their identities were too different, and their ways of existence were also completely different. These were completely different worlds.

"Each clone is an independent and complete existence. It has its own thinking, is connected to the main body, and represents the thoughts of a part of the main body. It has a different personality and a different shape. Some clones are full of tentacles and have cruel personalities, while some have no face and are extremely cold. , but some only know how to reproduce and give birth. Avatars like me that can be understood and recognized by ordinary people, fulfill their duties, and are willing to abide by order are special exceptions."

"To put it simply, what I see of you is just a shadow? Just like a game player registering different characters and accounts, you are the player, and now I am just talking to the game player? So I am..."

Cang Yan tilted her head, trying to understand Sasi's existence, but she gave an inappropriate example.

"NPC?"

"You can roughly understand it this way. It's just a little more idealistic. As the Mihara Pillar God, I am indeed a high-dimensional creature to you, just like the characters in two-dimensional animation cannot understand humans in three-dimensional space. I do exist in a similar way to a game master."

Sasi's words aroused Cang Yan's curiosity, and she quickly asked: "What are the three original pillar gods? Is Nip also one of them?"

"Your question is too jumpy. You haven't even stepped into the most basic EX1 level, and you want to know the existence of the original pillar god."

Facing Cang Yan's repeated questioning, Sasi felt helpless.

"Entering the divine realm is like stepping onto the stairs to the stars, and the gods are also divided into high and low. Among them, the pillar that supports the basic operating rules of the entire universe is the original pillar god. There are three in total, so it is referred to as the three original pillar gods. This It’s not a boast.”

Shasi briefly explained various rules. For example, the EX magic wave level is just the upper limit of energy. EX levels 1-3 represent hardware, while authority is software. Hardware without software is just a fool and an empty shell. When hardware Only by operating together with the software can one fully enter the divine realm and become a true god, or in other words, the ruler of the past.

If there is no authority corresponding to the godhead, no matter how powerful you are, even if you can explode stars with one punch, you are still just an indigenous god of this planet and this galaxy.

And the authority in the universe is limited. After a long period of accumulation, the authority has long been robbed. Only when a god falls can a new true god be born.

Just like a company with a bloated structure, the regular workers with a permanent establishment have long been overcrowded, but there are still an countless number of temporary workers. They are fighting hard to get the establishment and become regular workers.

When the old gods fall, the road to promotion will begin.

War, fighting, blood, violence, chaos, disorder, this is the eternal melody of the universe.

"Promote...promote the game?"

Cang Yan said: "As expected, Queen, you are one of the masterminds behind this game."

There were speculations before, but now it’s a complete showdown.

The theft of the Kingdom of Shadows and the loss of the sealed cards were indeed part of the Queen's plan.

"Why are you telling me this."

This is what Cang Yan is curious about. If the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows is really like what she said, she is the ultimate being who builds the infrastructure of the universe and can destroy the entire galaxy with a single thought, then why is a small earth worthy of her? Heart?

"because……"

Sasi's eyes were soft. Her sight had broken through the boundaries of time and space, and she had returned to the past. The crimson crystal dragon was still resisting her tenaciously. She did not flinch or be timid when facing a powerful enemy that exceeded the upper limit of her abilities. , for the country that she and her friends finally built, and for the rebirth of the sage civilization, Crystal risked everything. She wanted to become the patron saint of civilization.

Finally, Sasi smiled softly: "An agreement. It is the agreement with Crystal that I will stay in this world for more than three thousand years to maintain this false starry sky and shadow barrier to protect the earth from the abyss. and intrusion from foreign enemies.”

"Because, Star Creation God Crystal is dead. When He chose to sacrifice himself, merge with the abyss, and use himself to become an eternal seal, He was already dead. Now only instinctive reactions and a little soul are left. The memory fragments, the authority he held and the magic power in his body were also scattered all over the earth. I collected them and created four sequences of spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs, a total of fifty-two cards and related seals. The beast is used to carry the power and authority of Crystal. Otherwise, the corpse of a true god is like a delicacy. There are too many beings eager to gain authority, just like sharks in the sea that smell the smell of blood. They don’t care. No matter what, I have to come to the earth to plunder the cards so that I can complete my promotion."

"So, the shadow barrier transformed by the Kingdom of Shadow is to protect the earth's civilization and hide the earth so that others cannot detect the coordinates of the earth. I have been sitting on the throne of the Kingdom of Shadow for three thousand years, all the time. While resisting the erosion of the abyss beyond the starry sky, my power is also being consumed at a high speed every moment, and my magic power is fleeting. This directly leads to the fact that I cannot leave the Kingdom of Shadows. I must stay here to maintain the shadow barrier. And now …”

Sasi raised her arms, she could feel her body getting weaker and weaker.

She smiled wryly and shook her head.

"The oil has run out. Maintaining the separation of the two worlds, and adding so many cursed beasts restrained in the Kingdom of Shadows, consumes a huge amount of power every moment. I am just a clone. Once my power is exhausted, , the integration of the Kingdom of Shadows and reality will be completed instantly. And the next clone that comes to the earth will not have a talkative personality like me. In fact, when he comes to the earth, he will only tame the human race into his own slaves. . It should be said that that is the real me, a complete evil god."

"The fire is about to go out, but the king is nowhere to be seen."

Sasi watched Cang Yan's expression change, and she revealed her true intention.

"So, I hope you can become the final winner of the promotion game, fuse all the cards, and be promoted to the new Star God, thereby taking over my position and becoming the new queen of the Kingdom of Shadows."

This is the legacy of the curse.

In order to avoid the worst outcome, it is necessary to choose someone to inherit Sasi's power before she disappears.

Cang Yan is the best candidate.

Cang Yan is trying to digest this knowledge. Of course she knows that becoming the queen of the Kingdom of Shadows is basically exchanging one's loneliness for thousands of years of peace. If put in normal times, according to the magical girl Cang Yan's virgin character , of course she would agree immediately, and she would be willing to sacrifice and dedicate herself for the sake of peace for more people.

This is one of the reasons why Sasi is willing to train Cang Yan.

This purity, this kindness, this holiness is enough to move everyone, just like Snow Lotus.

But Sasi didn't expect Cang Yan's answer to be exactly the same.

Cang Yan, who had clearly understood what she wanted in her heart, stepped forward and was only one step away from Sasi. Her attitude was clear.

"The shadow barrier is a good thing. It protects the growth of human civilization and protects it from the invasion of the abyss and foreign enemies. For the continuation of civilization and the survival of mankind, we should look up at the false starry sky on the earth. However, it has been like this for a long time. , should this always be the case? I don’t know if this is the right thing to do.”

Cang Yan said what he had been thinking about these days.

Ever since Alais exposed the truth about the false starry sky and laid the reality and truth naked in front of Cang Yan, she has repeatedly thought about her own future and the future of mankind.

Now, she finally has the answer.
