Sword of Daybreaker

The incubation room fell into silence again, and Enya had to actively break the silence: "I know, this answer is against common sense."

"Wait a minute, I need to stroke it..." Gawain subconsciously waved his hand to interrupt the other party. After finally following his thoughts and confirming the information described by the other party, he slowly raised his head. In other words, when the'Great Demon Tide' arrived, the world was not affected at all, but all individuals who could become'observers' had a cognitive shift. The original normal world became in their eyes The indescribable, incomprehensible... things, the so-called'end of the world', are actually the'illusions' they produce?"

"This is not as simple as an illusion. The illusion can be regarded as nothing happening by closing your eyes and shielding the five senses. However, the'exile shift' brought about by the magic wave can break the boundary between matter and reality. Recognize it as fire, then the'fire' can really burn you. If the sun in your eyes turns into an extinguished black ember, the whole world will dimly cool beside you. This sounds very contrary to perception, but This is the truth of the world.

"The observer constructs his own world through his own cognition. This world accurately overlaps with the real world. When the magic wave comes, this "overlap" will be dislocated, and the observer will be confused by the confusion in his own eyes. Like Devouring, in the extreme madness and fear, they tried their best to leave records of the world distorted and shattered and demonic tides destroyed everything. However, these records are just madman’s babble, and they can never be theorized. A confirmed illusion."

Gawain was sitting on the wide high-back seat, the ventilation system blew a cool and clean breeze, and the low buzzing sound passed into his ears. At this moment, it became extremely illusory and distant. He fell into a long contemplation. I don’t know how long I woke up from my contemplation: "This... does violate normal cognition. Observers’ observations have shaped an “observer world” that overlaps with the real world? And the deviation of this observer’s world will Bringing the self-destruction of the observer..."

"But you don't look as surprised as I thought," Enya said calmly, "I thought you would at least gaffe."

"This is because I am no stranger to many of the concepts you mentioned-I just can't believe that all this will happen in the macro world," Gawain said with a complex expression, with a trace of doubt as if he was talking to himself. Yuyu exclaimed, "But if what you say is true... Then in our world, where is the boundary between the real universe and the'cognitive universe'? If the observer will be recognized by himself The'illusory flame' burns to death, so what is the significance of the operation of the real world?"

The voice in the golden dome paused before responding: "...It seems that in your hometown, the physical world and the spiritual world are very distinct."

"At least in the macro world, this is the case," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, "In our case, reality is reality, illusion is illusion, and the observer effect only works in the micro domain."

"Really... It's a pity that in this universe, the boundaries of everything seems to be in a state of change," Enya said, and the speed of the pale gold rune flowing on her eggshell gradually slowed down, as if she was using this This method helps Gawain to calmly think, “In the eyes of mortals, this stable and peaceful world will turn into an indescribable and distorted purgatory only once. When there is a deviation between cognition and reality, the boundary between reason and madness It will become easy, so from a certain angle, it is meaningless to pursue the meaning of the'real universe' itself, even...does the real universe really exist?"

Listening to Enya's last question that was enough to make a less determined scholar think crazy, Gao Wen's heart calmed down somehow. Suddenly, he thought of the weird "layered" structure of this world. Thinking of the shadow world under the material world, the shadow world under the shadow world, even the "deep world" under the shadow world, and the "deep sea" that exists only in concepts for the gods...

In his mind, an endless sea seemed to emerge from nothingness. That is the true appearance of the universe. Layers of "boundaries" are superimposed in this ocean in a way that the human mind cannot understand. Carrying out a complex mapping, in the deep ocean where the sun cannot shine, the deepest "truth" is buried in the darkness that no one can touch-the ocean undulates, and mortals are just tiny mayfly floating in the shallowest body of water, and the whole piece The true appearance of the ocean is far beyond the cognitive boundaries of the mayfly.

He took a gentle breath, pulled his own reason from the "sea" out of the illusion, and whispered in a tone that seemed to be a wandering thing: "I am suddenly a little curious now... When it comes, in the eyes of those who have been'exiled', what exactly will the world look like..."

He saw the catastrophe seven hundred years ago in the memory of Gawain Cecil, saw the earth scorched and curled, the sky was terrifying, the chaotic magic swept the earth, and countless monsters came from all directions-that was almost already It is the most terrifying "end of the world" mortal can imagine. Even Gawain himself once thought that it was the appearance of the end, but at this moment, he suddenly found that his imagination was in front of the true appearance of the world. It turned out to be not enough.

"Even if you are an out-of-territory wanderer who can contend with the gods, you will not be willing to face the terrifying impression that the demonic wave will create on the minds of mortals," Enya's voice came from the golden dome, "Frankly speaking, I cannot answer your question accurately, because no one can communicate normally with victims who have been madly demented and have lost the focus of perception in the "real universe". It is also difficult to sum up what they witnessed from their chaotic and crazy speech or even noise. What exactly is the scene of, I can only guess, guessing from the crazy traces left by those civilizations that have not been able to survive the magic tide-

"The sun extinguished in their eyes, or swelled into huge **** of flesh, or turned into black clumps falling from the sky. The earth melted, and endless teeth and giant eyes grew. The ocean boiled, generating vortices reaching the center of the earth, and the stars fell into The earth turned into icy fire and spattered out of the rocks and clouds. They might see themselves being thrown into the starry sky, and the universe opened a huge mouth full of indescribable glow and giants, or perhaps Seeing that everything in the universe has been separated and turned into crazy shadows and constant noises-and at the last moment of destruction, they themselves will become the victims of these chaotic madness, becoming one of them.

"This is the crazy observer, and the world in their eyes-in the intricate mapping of everything in the universe, they have lost their focus and everything. In this case, they can see anything. "

Gao Wen hadn't spoken for a long time, and after more than a minute he couldn't help but shook his head with complicated expression: "Your description is really vivid, and the sight is enough to make any normal sane person shudder."

"Thank you for your compliment," Enya said calmly, her always calm and gentle tone is very calming and soothing at this time, "but don't take this as reliable. Researching the data, in the final analysis, they are just my speculation. After all, even the gods cannot touch the exiled minds."

Gao Wen was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "The Sea-Monsters first told me about the reshaping of everything in the world caused by the Great Demon Tide. I believe they did not deceive me on this matter, so the only explanation is-they They really "see" the scene of the world reshaping in their eyes, which shows that they are "observers" under the influence of the magic wave... But why are they okay? They seem to have only seen some phenomena, but survived the magic wave again and again. Come down."

"Sea monster..." Enya chuckled, as if feeling helpless. "They may be the only race in this world that I can't understand. Even though I witnessed them falling from space on this planet. , I have observed the kingdoms they built in the Far Sea from a distance, but I have always avoided letting the Dragon Race communicate with those guests from the stars. Do you know why?"

"Because the siren comes from the universe, their interstellar knowledge and spacecraft are very likely to cause the dragons to turn their attention to the universe, thereby accelerating your loss of control?" Gao Wen guessed, but he has realized that the problem is probably not so simple— —Otherwise Enya doesn’t need to deliberately ask herself at this moment.

"What you said is indeed part of the answer, but more importantly... The Kraken race is a kind of'toxic observer' to me.

"The way they perceive this world is completely different from that of any race in the world, as if they are not only from this planet, or even from this universe. They have distinctive... anomalies, which are incompatible with our world. The “disturbance” of this kind of estrangement caused the demonic wave to not completely affect them. They will see some phenomena after the deviation when the demonic wave arrives, but it only takes a short time for their self-recognition to be on their own Corrected this kind of'error'. This kind of correction even made me feel... fearful, because I discovered that they would not only'correct' themselves, but even affect other intelligent creatures, slowly changing the cognition of other ethnic groups, and even through thoughts. Spread this influence to the gods behind other races.

"Remember when we discussed the'closed system' when the gods were out of control in the previous topic? Those sea monsters in the eyes of the gods are like a group of'erosive and poisonous' that can actively destroy the closed system. They are mobile and offensive. External information, can you understand what I mean?"

Gawain blinked, and he immediately thought of a sentence he once joked:

The gods and the sea-monster had a face-to-face meeting and sanchecked each other-and then the gods went crazy.

This unintentional joke... turned out to be true.

The existence of the Kraken can pollute the gods! If there is a "priority" for their cognition and self-correction, then this "priority" is even higher than the magic wave? !

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly changed, and he said in a very serious tone: "Then we are now establishing more and more extensive communication with the Kraken, isn't it..."

"I think that by the time I'fall', the group of'toxic observers', the Sea-Monster, should have lost their toxicity," Enya knew what Gao Wen was worried about suddenly, she said gently, "They The estrangement with this world has almost completely disappeared, and the pollution that comes with it will also disappear—for the gods that follow, the sea monster is no longer dangerous from this season of civilization."

Gao Wen was startled: "Why?"

"I don't know, there are too many mysteries in this race," the golden rune on the surface of Enya's eggshell stagnated for a moment, and then slowly flowed, "I can only be sure of one thing, that is before my fall. , I finally managed to observe in the depths of the world the ripples that the Krakens thought when they were thinking... This means that after such a long time, this race that is out of step with the world finally merged into our world."

"Incorporate..." Gao Wen frowned and thought about every word mentioned in Enya's words. He tried to understand what kind of peculiar state the group of "outsiders" who crashed on this planet were. , So that the oldest gods on this planet have been jealous for more than one million years, and even today, this jealousy has just been lifted. At the same time, he is also guessing how the "fusion" of the sea monsters happened, and in his heart There have been several speculations that may be reliable.

It's just that at least at this stage, these speculations can't be confirmed-I am afraid that even the Sea Monster himself can't understand these processes.

The only thing that can be determined now is the final conclusion: the sea monster is like a bunch of insoluble foreign matter. It has been in this world for 1.87 million years before it finally melts the shell and is no longer the one that can jam the system. Bugs, this may be a good thing for the races that establish communication with them, but for the Kraken himself... is this a good thing?

He couldn't help asking: "They are integrated into this world. Does this mean that the magic wave will also take effect on them from now on?"

"It may or may not, I know it is irresponsible to answer this way, but there are too many mysteries on them, even if one is solved, there are countless waiting in front," Enya said helplessly, " The biggest problem is that their life essence is still an elemental creature... an elemental creature that can stably survive in the main material world, and the elemental creatures themselves can reshape and regenerate after the magic tide, which may indicate that even if they are in the future Like other mortals, they will be destroyed by the Demon Tide, and they will be reborn after the Demon Tide ends.

"Of course the situation can be the opposite. Who is right? These are things that have never happened before, and even God can't predict them."

"Perhaps I should have a chance to talk to them about this issue," Gawain said with a frown, and then he suddenly remembered something, "Wait, we just talked about the Great Demon Tide not affecting the'real universe'. Entity, will the little magic wave affect it?

"I mean, back then, the Gondor Empire was swallowed by a small wave of demons after the big explosion of the Deep Blue Well. The pioneers saw with their own eyes how the chaotic magic energy had an impact on the environment, and we were still in the Dark Mountain region afterwards. A brand-new ore was mined, and that ore has been identified as a product of the magic wave... Is this the result of some kind of'reshaping' phenomenon?"

"This is also a misunderstanding," Enya said lightly. "There has never been a'reshaping of all things in the world', whether it is a big wave or a so-called small wave-the big explosion that occurred in the Gondor Empire. Confused your judgment on the magic tide. In fact, what you were facing was only the shock wave of the Deep Blue Well. Those new ores and the mutated environment were just natural reactions caused by high-concentration magic erosion. You don’t believe it, you can reproduce this result in the laboratory."
