Can I Quit the Group Now?

Chapter 280 Four Then, There Is Only One Answer

"Ah, hello, Lux Traclo, a hero from another world. It's the first time we meet. I'm Merlin the magician. Please give me your advice."

When Lux silently came behind the flower magician, the magician who seemed to have noticed it turned his head.

He looked at Lux who was coming, smiled, and greeted naturally and gracefully.

"...You, know that I want to find you?"

The boy was silent for a while, and then spoke like this.

"Well, I've noticed it more or less. It should be time for you to need me."

"But even so, you already guessed that I would come, right? Brave Lux."

Lux didn't reply, as Merlin said, he reached the moment when he was needed, so he came.

He never doubted the wisdom of the magician of flowers.

"It's an honor to be recognized by you. So, time is running out, so let's get started."

"The way to stop the god Tiamat."

Why did Merlin appear here? This question is actually very simple. What appeared here was not Merlin himself, but just a clone of Merlin.

In some fantasy terms, it is probably called consciousness.

Although Merlin cannot penetrate the world barrier and reach the imaginary world, this world was created by Merlin. If he wants to come, no one can stop him.

And as I said before, Merlin may be paying attention to them all the time, so he can roughly guess what Lux needs.

It was also like this that the two met here without any communication.

A wise man already knows what he should do without needing to speak too much...

After such bold words, Merlin paused for a while, and then began to talk about his discoveries these days.

There is not much difference between Merlin's narration and Yakumo Zi's guess. Although Lux knows the god Tiamat very well, such understanding is based on the data, but how can such data be refined? a living thing.

When a creature produces its own consciousness and has its own thinking, the so-called information becomes a blank sheet of paper.

Fixed information can't keep up with the speed of change, and empty blank paper can't tell the feelings of living beings, so Lux can't see the changes of God Tiamat due to different emotions.

But Merlin was different.

He is an alternate crown magician, and the beast itself is an enemy. Although the second beast is not the beast he is in charge of, this does not prevent him from observing and discovering the god Tiamat.

The eyes of the flower magician...see everything!

And Lux ​​who got the information from Merlin gradually understood everything.

His appearance caused the god Tiamat, who was supposed to go down the established path and was exiled here, to deviate from the original track.

On the one hand, instilling love for the Mesopotamian gods into Lux, and on the other hand, knowing that Lux is not his child, this kind of contradiction made the god Tiamat what it is today.

That's right, the biggest difference between Merlin's guess and Yakumo Zi's guess is this.

What Yakumo Zi thought was the difference between "love one person" and "love all people" that was limited to Tiamat's "system", and Lux ​​itself represented the entire Mesopotamia The gods, love him alone, and love the gods, what is the difference?

Therefore, it was another aspect that caused the god Tiamat to change.

Jump out of the framework of "love the gods" and look at the changes of the gods from a broader perspective.

However, Yakumo Zi couldn't be blamed for this, because Lux couldn't help being startled the moment he heard Merlin's words.

God Tiamat... unexpectedly knew that Lux was not her child! ?

Because the god Tiamat directly called him a child when they first met, they both subconsciously thought that the god Tiamat had vaguely regarded him as his own child due to the gradual loss of consciousness.

But who knew... God Tiamat knew that Lux was not her child.

But if she knew it earlier, then why...

There was a hint of doubt in his pupils, but as if he had expected such doubt, Merlin continued to talk.

"God Tiamat indeed sent you Lux as his own child due to the gradual loss of consciousness at the beginning, but later on, your 'love' made God Tiamat gradually regain consciousness...... "

When he first stepped into God Tiamat's dreamland, God Tiamat indeed regarded Lux ​​as her child, and loved him so much.However, while gradually showing love, God Tiamat gradually felt another emotion.

She felt 'love' from Lux...

That was the 'love' she had never felt for a long time, from the moment the gods no longer needed her, from the moment the world no longer needed her.

This kind of 'love' made the god Tiamat gradually satisfied, and thus slowly regained his consciousness.

From the moment she regained some consciousness, she clearly understood that Lux was not her child...

I thought that I had always loved my child, that it was my child who gave me love, but I didn't expect that the result would be like this.

The gap between reality and dream made God Tiamat at a loss for a moment, she didn't know how she should face Lux, should she leave, or go find her real child?

Normally, she should leave here to find her child, but... the feeling of being loved... makes it hard for her to escape.

——God Tiamat is the mother god who created the world and gave the world all her love, but likewise, the god of love also longs for love.

She loves her children and longs to be loved by her children.

The consciousness awakened by Lux faced the contradiction of loving and being loved.

It is this kind of contradiction that made the god Tiamat look like this...

So she, who was so different from usual, regarded him as someone else...not her child?

"No...it's not right to say that, the Goddess of Creation is the god who created the world, and the entire mythology was created by her. Therefore, in terms of personality, she is the mother of the world. No matter where she is placed, She is a goddess."

"Even though Lux came from another world, you are still a child before God Tiamat."

"At most, they are children of other people's family."

"...What's the difference among these?"

Lux was silent for a while, uttering such doubts, and Merlin blinked, smiling like this with a natural gesture.

"no difference."

"..."

Ignoring the humor that adjusted the atmosphere, Lux finally understood why God Tiamat had such a change...

Rejecting one's own child, and the child of someone else's family who loves oneself...

Chapter 280 Five I Could Endure the Darkness

"...Next, what are we going to do?"

After being silent for a while, Lux looked at the Magician of Flowers, although he knew the changes of God Tiamat, it didn't mean he knew how to deal with God Tiamat.

Being loved and loved, constant emotional collisions made Lux an extremely special existence to the god Tiamat at this moment.

He got the most care and love, but lost the opportunity to get the creation power from the god Tiamat.

What should he do next?

"What to do... um... Just do what Lux thinks you want."

However, facing this doubt, Merlin responded without thinking.

"Whatever you wanted to do before, you can do it now."

"The god Tiamat who has self-awareness knows how to think, so it is not easy to be fooled. Compared with the god Tiamat who treated you as his own child and could not communicate, the god Tiamat at this time is not more Is it okay to talk?"

"If it's you, there will be no problem."

He smiled like this, and in those lavender eyes, there was an emotion called trust.

Born as a nightmare and a human being, he inherited the power of the moon and the earth. He was born to stand at the top of many magicians. His strength and means are beyond doubt.

But his nature and badness are beyond doubt.

Many people have said that Merlin is a person who does not understand and has no emotions, and his expression is just a means to judge what should be done at that time.

But this is not the case.

When telling the story of the king, the half-nightmare who felt that he had never had human feelings was moved for the first time.

In that sunny smile, the magician had human emotions for the first time.

It was also because of the guilt towards that girl that the half-nightmare he chose to go to Avalon and become a person isolated from the world...

Although he has clairvoyance and can see through everything in the world, considering his emotions at that time, it will be ignored here.

But right now, Lux looked at that trusting gaze, he wasn't sure if it was Merlin's real feelings, or just pretended emotions.

But no matter what, what he said was not wrong.

The god Tiamat who can communicate is better to deal with than the god Tiamat who cannot communicate...

Because he was interrupted by the god Tiamat so many times that Lux forgot that the god Tiamat couldn't refuse his toughness.

Regardless of his identity at the moment, or his particularity, as long as he thinks about it, God Tiamat will definitely sit down obediently and communicate with him.

"......Um."

Lux said so, and was about to bid farewell to Merlin, but before he finished speaking, Merlin looked up towards the direction of the tower as if he had sensed something.

"It's earlier than I expected...Although the dreams in the dream world are more troublesome than ordinary dreams, but coming out of the double-layered dream world so quickly, I really deserve the god Tiamat."

"Then, I'll go first, Lux. I hope your journey will be smooth sailing."

Before Lux could respond and leave these words, Merlin turned into a flower and left the dream world...

The moment he left, a pleasant voice came from afar.

"Aaaaaaa..."

There was anxiety in that voice.

As if afraid of losing something.

Even though he didn't see God Tiamat, Lux's image already appeared in his mind.

Without too much hesitation, he thought about the tower and left.When he was about to arrive, he saw the god Tiamat standing in front of the door and looking around anxiously.

She kept calling his name...

When she saw him return, she breathed a long sigh of relief and came to him.
