Chapter 043 "Creator" 2
If I really believed his lies, I would probably be fooled and still be counting money for others.
Isn't it good to be alive? Who wants to cooperate with such an anti-human lunatic?
Chen She put down the teacup: "I refuse."
Epsilon was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Chen She to refuse so straightforwardly.
Because Epsilon remembered that although this person was very smart, his strong desire to take shortcuts to save the entire world was his biggest weakness. As long as he made good use of this, he could make everything go according to his plan.
In fact, before the ceremony, the original owner did not trust Epsilon.
But in order to become a creator and to gain the power to lead the resistance to change fate, the original owner finally took the risk.
Epsilon is well aware of this.
So Epsilon was very confused at this time: Why did this person's temperament change drastically and he turned against him after the ritual was completed?
What is going on?
It is obvious that Chen She has undergone tremendous changes compared to before.
Not getting smarter, but Epsilon is harder to fool...
Because Chen She now doesn't seem to have such a strong obsession, Epsilon doesn't know what he wants and doesn't know where to start.
After a moment of silence, Epsilon said, "You are wasting your own talent, and the future of all mankind. When a savior is unwilling to bear his fate, it is not only his personal sorrow, but also the sorrow of the entire world."
Chen She exclaimed, "What a good fellow."
Old Ai, you have no moral principles. When you fail to deceive people, you start to use moral kidnapping?
But the more Epsilon cared about it, the more Chen She felt that there was a big problem here.
Just like when the experience store owner lowered the price, the more Zhang Sirui felt that there was something wrong with this store.
Chen She felt that fooling himself must be of great benefit to Epsilon, and it might even be the only way for Epsilon to achieve a certain goal.
So, you absolutely cannot believe it!
In this case, anyone who believes it is a fool.
Chen She was silent for a moment: "Saving the world is beyond my ability. Moreover, even if I can, I would rather use my own strength instead of being used as a pawn in the hands of others."
Epsilon's face darkened, and he was obviously angry.
He had become obviously impatient, and sneered, "Your own power?"
"Do you really think that your success is all due to yourself? You can't imagine how much power this ritual has given you!"
“Being a creator gives you unparalleled artistic talent. You can create anything you imagine with precision, and you can gain power directly from your creations, and even use your creations to influence others.”
"Otherwise, how can the Mewtwo you created have a training effect far superior to other Mewtwo?"
"As a cursed scholar, you will have a halo in the eyes of others, which will enhance the credibility of every word you say. Those who trust you will trust you more, and those who fear you will be more afraid. Even if you are an ordinary person, you will become a natural leader!"
"Otherwise, how could you gain unconditional trust from your subordinates and fear from your enemies?"
"What's more, the power of the Cursed Scholar also allows you to see the time and space connection between yourself and others, and you can tell at a glance who is loyal to you and who is a threat to you."
"With all these powerful powers, you are unwilling to use them? Instead, you want to save the world with your own power and your own way? Do you know what kind of stupid thing you are doing?"
"You literally have a mountain of gold and you're using it to play in the mud!"
Chen She silently observed Epsilon's expression. Obviously, he was anxious.
Chen She was a little puzzled, thinking, didn't I just reject you twice, why are you still so angry?
You don't even have the demeanor of a mastermind.
It seems that this big boss doesn't seem to be that smart...
After some testing, Chen She determined that although Epsilon was very dangerous, he seemed to have fatal flaws in some aspects.
For example, he seemed easily irritated, had unstable emotions, and did not display any particularly frightening intelligence.
Chen She guessed that there might be two possibilities.
The first possibility is that Epsilon was not originally a person who understood human nature and was extremely intelligent.
The reason why he was able to establish the Time and Space Knights and persist for such a long time under the siege of the big capitalists was not necessarily because he was smart enough or cunning enough, but because... he had a cheat!
According to Epsilon, the ability of the Curse Scholar is to have an aura that makes those who trust him trust him more and those who fear him more. In addition, he can see the time and space connection between himself and other people, and see who is more loyal and who is likely to betray.
In this situation, Epsilon didn't need to play any tricks, it was just like he had activated a full-map cheat.
Since he doesn't need any scheming or wisdom to secure his position as leader, he naturally has no opportunity or motivation to carry out too many conspiracies and schemes.
The second possibility is that Epsilon has been wandering in the world of time and space for such a long time that he has not been able to communicate normally with people for a long, long time.
Ordinary people may suffer mental breakdowns if put in solitary confinement, let alone Epsilon, who is in the world of time and space. Not to mention communicating with people, he can only associate with time and space creatures in a purely spiritual way. It is estimated that he will be affected to some extent, his brain will become less sharp and his personality will become extreme.
But in Chen She's own spiritual world, Epsilon's plug-in no longer works.
Chen She would not be like those people in the Knights of Time and Space who would revere him, worship him, and imagine his every action and every word.
So, when Epsilon found out that after all his tricks, Chen She didn't fall for it at all, but was getting further and further away from his expected goal, he was naturally furious and became as anxious as a giant baby.
Obviously, he is totally unacceptable to the current situation.
After silently planning in the world of time and space for many years, I finally found an opportunity to return to reality. I was only one step away from final success, but I failed at the last moment?
It's hard for anyone to bear.
Chen She breathed a sigh of relief and decided to try again.
Try to uncover more truth.
"I'm sorry, no matter how much you say, I won't do what you say."
"Because to me, although the big chaebols are also hateful, at least they treat ordinary people as leeks and let them barely survive so that they can make money. Under the rule of the big chaebols, although ordinary people live a more difficult life, at least they can still survive."
"But if your plan succeeds, it will be the mass extinction of mankind."
"Goodbye, I hope you won't bother me again. As for saving the world... I will find a way to accomplish it in my own way."
" Even if I fail to complete it in the end, I won't regret it. Because I can't push the whole world into another bigger fire pit in the name of saving the world."
"farewell."
Chen She tried to use his spiritual power to eliminate the influence of Epsilon, but found that he could not expel him completely. It seemed that the spirits of the two people had formed some kind of inseparable close connection.
He could only completely seal off Epsilon and isolate it from his own world of consciousness.
Upon realizing that Chen She really wanted to lock him up, Epsilon's eyes widened in complete shock.
But he didn't get angry and curse, instead he laughed.
"Well, since you don't want to experience the bliss of being a savior before dying, I'll let you know the truth and then die in pain."
"It doesn't matter. Don't you just want to know the truth? I can tell you the whole truth."
"But after knowing the truth, you will only become more desperate."
Chen She stopped trying to seal up Epsilon.
Epsilon's expression had returned to calm. Apparently after the showdown, there was no need for him to pretend anymore. There was neither temptation nor anger on his face. All that was left was the indifference of having won.
"No matter what you do, I will gradually take over your body and inherit all the power of the creator."
"By then, I will have gained both the abilities of the Creator and the Curse Scholar. I can reach the eighth level of energy fluctuation in a short period of time, and summon all members of the Knights of Spacetime to sweep across the entire Old Land and accomplish my goal."
"Let mankind usher in a new era in the form of space-time life!"
"Even if you want to stop it, it's pointless."
"Because of my existence, the synaesthesia power in your body will naturally surpass psychic power, and all of this synaesthesia power can be used by me."
"So, as your energy fluctuations naturally increase, the remaining power I have in your body will accumulate more and more, and eventually I will succeed in taking control of this body."
Chen She's expression couldn't help but become solemn.
As expected, Epsilon's flattery must be a conspiracy, and it turns out that he is plotting against my body!
Moreover, the situation is already very serious.
If Epsilon really succeeds in "taking over" my body and resurrecting, then the doomsday catastrophe will really be coming.
At that point, even if Chen She committed suicide, he would not succeed.
As if he had guessed Chen She's thoughts, Epsilon sneered and said, "Perhaps you are thinking, at worst you can just commit suicide? Die in battle? Put an end to it all?"
"But unfortunately, you have established a connection with me through the ritual. Even if you die, I can reshape your body through the connection between time and space. And every time you die, my power will be greatly enhanced, which will only bring me one step closer to the final goal!"
"Perhaps you are thinking that you can hide and not be found?"
"But unfortunately, because you have a strong synaesthesia ability and a high affinity with space-time activities, you will naturally attract people with synaesthesia, or space-time creatures."
"Whether you hide in the city or flee to the wilderness, you will be in trouble. And one day, you will be discovered by the Knights of Time and Space, or noticed by the major chaebols."
"So, no matter what you do, the final outcome is doomed: your body will inevitably be occupied by me, and my plan will be accomplished as expected!"
"It's just the difference between earlier and later. I have plenty of time. I can wait."
Epsilon regained control and said with some pride, "If you hadn't asked too many questions, this would have happened naturally."
"You continue to fulfill your goals and take on the role of a savior. At a suitable opportunity, I will take over from you and complete your unfinished mission. That will be more merciful to you."
"But since you don't want to accept this fate, you have no choice but to accept another, more cruel fate."
"You can struggle as much as you want and make all kinds of futile attempts, but the final result will not change at all."
"But you can be more open-minded and think of it as experiencing a long and real superdream. I assure you that the future where all humans become space-time creatures is not as bad as you think."
"You could even say that this is the inevitable fate of mankind, and I am just pushing it forward one step."
Chen She gave a polite smile: "Goodbye."
…
After blocking Epsilon from his consciousness, Chen She woke up.
At this time, not much time had passed since he fell asleep.
After becoming a creator, Chen She discovered that his thinking speed had increased significantly. After a long time had passed in his conscious world, only a moment had passed in reality.
Therefore, in reality he can also make a decision after careful consideration without worrying about missing out on opportunities due to over-consideration.
This can be considered as one of the cheating abilities he has acquired.
Chen She sat up from the bed, washed his face, and thought seriously about his current situation.
The reason why he quickly locked up Epsilon was that he didn't want his anxious state to be captured by Epsilon.
After all, Chen She had already obtained the information he wanted.
"It turns out that all the strange things that happened to me had a reason."
"That is to say, I did obtain an extremely powerful golden finger, but the side effects brought by this golden finger are too great..."
Chen She discovered that after he successfully entered the state of secondary energy fluctuation, he naturally acquired all the knowledge about the "Creator" and some knowledge about the "Cursed Scholar".
Any profession related to synaesthesia can automatically acquire the knowledge of this profession.
After all, the power of the "Cursed Scholar" comes from Epsilon, so Chen She can only use part of it.
"It turns out that the recurring nightmares I had before were caused by Epsilon trying to send me messages in my conscious world, but I completely ignored them. If I absorb the space-time particles earlier, I can enter the state of secondary energy fluctuations earlier."
"But the improvement of my strength also means that I am one step closer to the fate of being possessed."
"The reason why I can easily fool others is not only because the original owner has a very high prestige, but also because I carry the aura of a cursed scholar, which amplifies other people's feelings towards me. Those who trust me will become more trusting, and those who fear me will become more afraid."
"As for the light I saw, it represents the space-time connection between me and the people I am close to. The light gold represents a close, safe, and trusting space-time connection; the orange-red represents a vigilant, unstable space-time connection; and the light blue represents some special space-time connections, which currently appear to exist mostly in people related to the Space-Time Knights."
"Although Xia Lirong is a beggar and has nothing to do with the Spacetime Knights, through him, the Spacetime Knights got in touch with me, so it can also be seen as a special spacetime connection..."
“And the ability of a creator gives me a strong spiritual force and a powerful artistic talent to turn what I imagine in my mind into reality.”
"In addition, the Creator's upgrade method and combat style are completely different from the other twenty-four professions. No wonder the original owner wanted to become a Creator at all costs."
“This is because the Creator does have the power to change everything.”
"The original owner's profession was a psychic. Although he was very powerful, he could only play a role in war. Moreover, he was a glass cannon, with obvious advantages and disadvantages. But the creator is very comprehensive and can make the impossible possible in many fields."
“Only by becoming a creator can we theoretically gain the possibility of overthrowing these big corporations.”
"But... the price is too high!"
"Epsilon is actually parasitic in my body. Whether my abilities improve rapidly or I die, his power will gradually increase. Once his synesthesia power completely surpasses my original psychic power, he will devour my spirit..."
"And not only am I finished, but the resistance and even the whole world are finished!"
"Epsilon will definitely use the power of the Creator and the Curse Scholar to the fullest, and with the addition of the Space-Time Knights, I'm afraid no one can defeat him this time..."
"So, I can't get stronger quickly, I can't die too many times, and I may not even be able to survive, because according to Epsilon, I have become a troublemaker..."
"No wonder Epsilon was so angry that he confidently confronted me. Apparently, in his opinion, there was absolutely no possibility of him losing!"
Chen She never expected that when he was still worried about the resistance army, fate would throw him a new problem!
Before, if he messed up, the result would be the annihilation of the entire resistance army and his death.
But now, if he messes up, Epsilon will be unleashed, and the whole world will be buried with it!
"What the hell...what do you mean? You think my difficulty is not enough and you want to give me a super double, right?"
"Isn't it enough for me to shoulder the fate of a resistance army? Do I have to shoulder the fate of all mankind?"
"I'm just an ordinary game tester!"
Chen She discovered that his main mission objective had been refreshed again.
The previous goal was to survive.
Because if they can't survive, these rebels will be dead along with him.
Although for these resistance fighters, sacrificing their lives in the process of fighting against the big capitalists was what they wanted, Chen She felt that the fewer pure idealists there were, the better, and meaningless sacrifices should of course be avoided as much as possible.
The goal now is still to survive. But the result of not being able to survive is that Epsilon will possess him and all of humanity will die.
At that time, it will not be a question of whether idealists like the resistance fighters sacrifice themselves or not.
But the problem is that the world will only be left with a bunch of lunatics!
Chen She tried hard to regain his composure.
"Calm down. As a professional game tester, you must firmly believe that as long as there are rules, there will be bugs."
"And the solution may well lie in the details."
"According to Epsilon, I am now in a state where I cannot die because even if I die, he can still revive me. I'm not sure if he is lying to me, but I can't really try..."
"I can't leave anything to chance. If this is true, it will be a big problem."
"It's difficult to just stay alive. On the one hand, I'm a workaholic now, and I'll naturally be involved in a series of events. On the other hand, in order to protect myself, while I'm improving my combat power, Epsilon's power will definitely grow faster than mine."
"There are two powers in my body now. One is my own psychic power, and the other is Epsilon's synaesthesia. Currently, the psychic power is suppressing the synaesthesia, so as the creator, I have control over my body."
"But the power of synesthesia comes from Epsilon, from the world of time and space, and it is very easy to obtain. So sooner or later, the power of synesthesia will surpass psychic power."
"The only way is..."
"Find a way to suppress the power of synesthesia, so that the growth of synesthesia power will always be slower than the growth of psychic power!"
"If I can do this, and slowly increase my strength without letting unexpected situations disrupt my plans, then when I really reach level 7, level 8 energy fluctuations or even higher, won't my strength be able to perfectly suppress Epsilon?"
"This goal is so far away."
"It's like walking on a very long tightrope. If you take a wrong step, you will be doomed. No wonder Epsilon is so confident. In his opinion, this is an impossible road to walk."
"But if you think about it carefully, you can't say that you are in a completely desperate situation..."
Chen She frowned and fell into deep thought.
