I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 14 The Book of the Dead

"What did the person who brought you into this world teach you?" Sebastian said in a helpless tone.

"The real names of all true gods cannot be easily called directly. They all have perceptions. If they think you are disrespectful to them, they will be punished."

"Is that so?" Shaar nodded suddenly, "I understand, I will pay attention next time."

Sebastian frowned, and continued: "Fortunately, Lord Reaper is also sleeping now, and he won't wake up just because you called his real name."

After a pause, he said again with some doubts, "But... the real name of that lord, even few people inside Death God know it, so why do you know it?"

"I used to hear a lot of myths." Shaar said truthfully.

It seems that the names he mentioned are correct. The God of Death and the God of Sleep in their mouths should both come from Greek mythology.

"Myth?" Sebastian was even more puzzled, he really couldn't think of any myths about the god of death.

The god of death did not have a high status in the god system in the past, and was feared by many people, so naturally there will be no myths handed down.

"What about the other gods?" Shaar continued to ask.

"Gods exist based on concepts." Sebastian said, "Because of various reasons, the rise of new gods, and the progress of human civilization, the world is gradually being analyzed, and people gradually lose their respect for gods. .

The power of the gods became weaker and weaker with the progress of the times. Some gods died, while others fell into eternal sleep.

But in this world, there are two concepts that will not disappear as long as human beings exist. "

"Death and sleep." Xiaya said.

"You are very smart," Sebas praised. "The two masters, Death and Sleep, have been given a higher mission in the new era. Death manages the order of the dead, while Sleep manages the order of dreams, balancing fantasy and reality."

Char nodded, "Thank you for telling me this."

"You're welcome, it's just some basic knowledge."

Sebastian said, he looked at Char, and said seriously: "In the decades since I became Death, this is the first time I have seen the existence of a wizard.

Even some of my predecessors have never seen a wizard.

I have heard some of my older predecessors describe your abilities, some of you can even play with souls, and this is my area of ​​responsibility.

If you don't know these basic knowledge and rules, it will cause unnecessary trouble to me. "

"You can solve this trouble now." Xia Ya said with great interest.

But Sebastian shook his head, "I don't know your strength, and I don't know if I can defeat you. If I can, I might be able to do it once and for all, but if I can't, I will cause another trouble for no reason.

Also, you might have teachers, and even if I could kill you, it might cause trouble.

But now we don't have any conflicts of interests and conflicts, so I don't need to take this risk.

If possible, I hope we can be friends even more.

My sense of mission is not strong. For me, "Reaper" is just a profession, but I don't want to lose this job.

If you give me a convenience, I can also give you a convenience. "

"You live a very transparent life." Xia said with a smile, "My name is Xia, and I live in the Imperial Capital, 221B Doyle Street. Nice to meet you."

Sebastian also smiled, "I'm going to take this guy to hell for trial. If I have time, I'll definitely come to see you for a drink."

Shaar raised his eyebrows and joked, "It seems unlucky to be found by the god of death."

"I have a store in the Royal, where I will be most of the time, 122c Cole Street."

Sebastian said, he grabbed one end of the chain with one hand, stepped on the nightmare, and at the same time raised the other hand, a simple parchment appeared in his hand, and the parchment opened automatically like a bird flapping its wings , he looked at the words in the book and read to the nightmare.

"Dream Demon Hagules, you have violated Article 30 of the Hell Management Regulations by entering the human world privately, and Article [-] of No. [-] by encroaching on human bodies.

You will be brought back to hell to be judged and given the harshest punishment! "

Oss opened his eyes slightly, and there was obviously a little more panic in his eyes, struggling violently, but soon, the chains continued to spread to the upper half of his face that was still exposed in the air, and the whole person was bound by the chains The version is like a mummy.

"What is that?" Xia asked curiously looking at the book in his hand.

"The Book of the Dead." Sebastian said, "The Goddess of Fate gave the God of Death an artifact, of course, this one in my hand is just a copy, the real original is in the hands of that adult.

The names of all nearby people who are about to die will appear in this book, along with the locations, and I just need to guide the souls based on the information above.

And at the same time, everyone's lifespan, name, life experience, etc. can be found on the above, even demons can find some information, of course, the real name cannot be found.

Only true gods or other special existences cannot be found. "

Xia looked at the book with some curiosity. On the page were three goddesses with their eyes closed. It seemed that they were the three goddesses of fate he was talking about.

Probably something similar to the Book of Life and Death, Shaar thought to himself.

"Then can you check me?" Xiaya asked, "I want to know how long I can live."

"This..." Sebastian showed a little embarrassment on his face.

"Isn't it?" Chara asked.

"The god of death is active in this world, and it is inevitable that he will make some friends in this world, so it is not impossible that the god of death will show the book of the dead to mortals."

Sebastian said seriously, "However, everyone is afraid of death. When they know the date of death of themselves or the most important people, they will always have the idea of ​​wanting to change everything."

"Has anyone done this before?" Xia Ya asked with great interest.

Sebastian nodded, "The final result is not good.

All the names displayed on the Book of the Dead have been declared dead by fate, this is a fixed number.

All those who try to rebel against fate must pay the price.

Although the person whose death was interfered with did live for a while longer, when he died, a person who should not have died died because of him.

It was the one who interfered with his death.

Even the Grim Reaper, who leaked the information, was affected. "

cause and effect...

Xia Ya thought.

This is no different from the knowledge he acquired from the old man.

Such cause and effect, reversing such a large cause and effect of the established death, must pay the same death.

Fate has definite numbers, but there are also variables.

Since that person lived a few more years, his fate has actually been changed.

It's just that those who took action to change their destiny paid a heavy price.

If it is someone who can afford the price to change the fate, maybe it will be another ending.

But the only ones who can afford the price are gods and the like who are more powerful than humans.

But changing the fate of mankind is meaningless to God.

Gods, on the other hand, cannot afford to change the fate of gods...

"Since this is the case, let's forget about it." Xia Ya said, "It's not something you have to know, and I think I should be able to live for a long time."

"Indeed, wizards generally live a long life." Sebas nodded.

"Then, I'll go first, I still have something to do." Shaar said.

Sebastian nodded and said, "I want to send this nightmare to Hades too."

"Remember to come and find me for a drink." Xia said with a smile.

Saying that, Xia also turned around and flew away.

Sebastian did not leave immediately, but watched Char's leaving back. Suddenly, he spread out the Book of the Dead in his hand, aiming at Char who was gradually going away.

The Book of the Dead in his hand flipped through like a bird flapping its wings, and it was searching for Shaar's information in the book.

He hadn't seen a wizard in this world for a long time, so he was also very curious about Shaar's experience.

At first, Silas's expression was calm, but as time passed, his expression changed from calm, to puzzled, to bewildered.
After 5 minutes passed, he looked at the book he was still searching in his hand, his expression had completely lost his previous calmness.

His Adam's apple moved, he swallowed heavily, raised his head abruptly, and looked at the direction Shaar left in disbelief.

He had never seen the Book of the Dead take so long to retrieve a single person.

In this case, there is only one possibility, and that is.
The Book of the Dead has no record of the man in front of him at all.

And only the existence of the true god level can not be retrieved
Silas remembered Shaar's words and deeds before.

"Is your original God of Death named Thanatos?"

Calling the name of death directly, there is no awe or fear in the tone, only disapproval and indifference, as if addressing a junior whom I haven't seen for a long time.

He had originally thought it was just the wizard's ignorance, but thinking about it now.
How many people in this world know the real name of death?

Speaking of which, wizards have not appeared for hundreds of years.

Over the years, the mystery has been rapidly weakening, there is no soil for wizards to survive, and it is even more impossible for new wizards to emerge.

It is simply too weird for such a wizard to appear suddenly at this moment.

There is only one possibility. This "wizard" may have lived hundreds of years ago, or even earlier.
No, the Book of the Dead can't be found, he can't be a wizard, he is a far more terrifying existence than that.

Silas's fine hair stood on end slightly, and he took the nightmare directly into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared on the spot.
