Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 57: Calypso's Fury

When watching movies in his previous life, Lin You always felt that there was an inexplicable contrast between Calypso's image and words and deeds. Until today, this feeling has become stronger.

When standing outside the door and just listening to the sound, a man will probably have an image in his mind of a stunner who is seductive, unruly, and treats moral ethics as playthings.

But once you step into the cabin and see the appearance of Calypso - or Tia Doma - the image you have just created in your mind will collapse.

It would be better to swap roles with the bald witch in the fifth part!

Looking around again, the mummies and skeletons of animals of all sizes were mixed in with strange and nameless rough handicrafts; the moisture from the swamp drifted in through the gaps in the doors, windows, and wooden walls, and many places were damp, and a faint smell of mold and decay could be smelled.

As to whether it was wood or something else that was rotten, it was impossible to find out.

Having just left the clean and warm Forest Manor, Earl Goff was not used to the current environment. After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to put up with his legs and not sit on those chairs with every gap filled with dirt.

"Messenger from the big world, I didn't expect you to really look like a child." Calypso looked up and down at the writer without hiding her curiosity.

"Who did you hear about me from?"

“That’s a lot.” Calypso had a strange smile on her face, revealing her blackened teeth. She looked at the writer as if she was not looking at a child, but at a rare delicacy. “When I asked the big world to send someone to see me, they talked about you.”

“They? Who are they?” Lin You tried to keep his voice normal. “Those gods definitely didn’t say anything good about me.”

"Your God, Odin, Jupiter, Quetzalcoatl, and many others I'm not familiar with, have been exploring the world since they arrived. Of course, there's also the most disgusting one, a man called Chronos. He acted like a ruler in front of me, and his tone of voice made me sick."

Calypso may not know that she was suspected of being a participant in the conspiracy, so she expressed her dislike for the Olympian gods without any concealment. But he called out so many gods in one breath, which also gave Lin You a headache.

The more gods who know about the writer's meeting with Calypso, the more suspects there are; too many suspects is actually equivalent to having no suspects.

After a bad start, Lin You had to change the subject: "Now that I'm here, according to the agreement you reached with the gods, you can tell me your specific requirements; I will do my best to help you achieve them."

"No, before I state my request, I actually want to ask you something more clearly." Calypso put away her smile and looked directly at the writer. "Gods of the Great World, do you really have the sincerity to fulfill the agreement?"

Lin You was suddenly suspicious: "Why do you ask? If I wasn't sincere, I wouldn't be here."

"If you're sincere, why did I hear that someone is preparing to create a new pantheon in the world of Pirates of the Caribbean to replace me?" Calypso's voice turned from charming to cold, as if even the water vapor in the swamp had become gloomy.

The writer, who was originally tasked with gathering information, never imagined that he would find out such explosive news.

"Someone is planning to create a new pantheon in this world without a pantheon?" Lin You repeated what the other party said, trying to digest the information; "Where did you get the news? Who wants to do this?"

Calypso is the only confirmed god in the Pirates of the Caribbean world, and because of her uniqueness, she is also the god who benefits the most from the "Big World Project".

But if a new pantheon really emerges, even if it does not replace Calypso but simply coexists with it, it will inevitably reap a large share of the profits.

It is not difficult to understand Calypso's anger.

As if she felt that the writer's surprise was not fake, Calypso's expression and tone softened a bit: "I am the only god in this world. Every marine creature in this sea is my eyes and ears." This sentence can only be regarded as a vague explanation of the source of the information, but it does not contain the content that Lin You wants most: "Who is it? Who is manipulating all this, and what is he going to do?"

Calypso replied: "I don't know who the other party is, but that person... No, humans don't have such ability. It must be a god; He bewitched Blackbeard Teach and lured the Queen Anne's Revenge to find the 'Galaxy Island' and obtain the Trident of Poseidon."

"Poseidon's trident? Is that thing really Poseidon's?" Lin You asked.

"You care about this? You come from the real dimension, shouldn't you know it best?" Calypso asked back, "Every name and item of God that appears in this world is ambiguous, and can neither be confirmed nor denied. You can say it is, or you can say it is not."

"What would happen if Blackbeard got the trident? A pirate leader who knows a little bit of black magic is probably not qualified to create a new pantheon."

Calypso said angrily: "But someone made him believe that he could become a god if he got the trident; the most important thing is that becoming a god just happened to satisfy Old Teach's strongest wish - to gain eternal life."

Lin You shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Changing the world's 'history' at the height of God is not a good thing."

The "history" or "timeline" of the story world is not unchangeable, just like what happened in the mummy world before, because of the chain reaction caused by Seth and Lin You's actions, the story development deviated from the original plot; but that degree of change is not enough to shake the logic of the world's operation.

The ancient Egyptian gods are still there, the Golden Book of the Sun and the Black Book of the Dead are still there, and the driving force behind the main storyline is still there - these are the underlying logic that keeps the mummy world running normally.

Although the villain Imhotep was not resurrected because of Evelynn's reckless actions, it did not affect his later resurrection by the evil believers.

But if you create a "God" that does not exist in a story world, then the problem becomes serious, because it directly shakes the basic logic of the world view.

"Will a new god really appear?" Lin You asked again with some hope.

"You can only ask the god who bewitched Blackbeard about this question." Calypso was a little angry, and it was obvious that her anger had found a target. "Perhaps you should ask the gods of Olympus, if you give them Poseidon's trident, can you create a new god of the sea in this world? Yes, just ask Chronos."

"Do you suspect that it was the Olympian gods who bewitched Blackbeard?"

"Before it happened, I didn't doubt anyone or any god." Calypso said sarcastically, clearly not meaning it. "But after it happened, I had to doubt every pantheon in the world."

Lin You had a headache.

After all, the name "Poseidon" alone is enough to arouse people's imagination; the biggest suspicion inevitably falls on the Olympian pantheon.

　First update

　　I continue to ask book lovers to support the show by getting tickets, attending the show, and closing the show.

　　It would be even better if there was a follow-up read, maybe it would allow me to continue the recommended position that has been interrupted.
