Without giving the Star Shepherd a chance to answer, Roger continued, "Xuan once told me that their ancestor, the Star Shepherd, was a true transcendent being. Such an existence would not care about the life and death of their descendants, let alone an ordinary universe..."
"The Celestial Gods have prayed to the Star Shepherds many times in history, but have never received a response. On the contrary, you appeared just after I ascended to the Celestial God..."
He looked at the other person frankly:
"I don't think you're a Star Shepherd!"
The Shepherd's response was bland:
"Of course the real me doesn't care about the life and death of my descendants, but the me standing in front of you is different. Although I am just a projection, I also have my own consciousness. The real shepherd just sent down a projection like me after receiving the prayers of my descendants. This does not conflict with what you said. As for me, oh, I exist by relying on this universe. How long this universe can last, how long can my consciousness last - although my current situation cannot be called happy, my instinct is unwilling to disappear in obscurity..."
"So...of course I care about the life and death of this universe."
His answer sounded impeccable.
But the hostility in Roger's eyes became even stronger:
"No, you can't be the Star Shepherd!"
"If you are a true Shepherd, even if you are just a projection, how could you say what you just said - you are actually worried whether I will be shaken by the kindness of the Lord of Time!? If you don't even have this little judgment... How dare you call yourself a multi-universe life?"
His tone became more severe:
"Yes, looking back on my many experiences since I came to this planet, the Lord of Time seems to have helped me a lot, but to me, this is far from being a timely help!"
"My achievements today can only be attributed to myself!"
"If it weren't for Kane, I might have starved for a few more days in the snowstorm, but I would never have died, because I clearly remember that the heavy snow stopped the day after he came. Although my hunting skills were poor at that time , I learned ice fishing. There were abundant fish and shrimps in the several small lakes near Tongma Town, which were enough for me to survive..."
"If it weren't for that Exploding Frog, I wouldn't have given up the task entrusted to me by the pharmacist. I would have persisted in hunting down the Exploding Frog until I succeeded! But it's possible that I would have started to practice killing other monsters. This would have changed the course of my life, but it wouldn't have changed the fundamental direction!"
"As for the Lord of Time, Alice from the Minotaur Bar... and those other marginal figures... do I really need their help?"
"The answer is of course no! Since I came into this world, I have never relied on anyone else. I only rely on myself!"
"So, good intentions are good intentions, but why do you think that a little bit of good intentions will be enough to make me completely change my attitude?"
"What's more, if the Lord of Time is really so good at manipulating time, then what I just saw may not be true!"
Roger stared at the other person coldly.
The latter's reaction remained calm:
"I'm glad that we remain firm in our stance. It seems that I was just worrying too much."
"Even if you think I'm not a true shepherd, is there anything wrong with the method I taught you to save the universe?"
"My existence has never been an obstacle to you, and there has been no conflict between us. I have no reason to deceive you. Finally, I am indeed the projection of the Shepherd. There is no doubt about that!"
Roger laughed dryly:
"Of course the method is correct, but correct nonsense is still nonsense. You clearly know that I don't have enough time, but you still try to use provocation to make me refine the five major planets... I'm afraid your purpose is to make me waste my time on this so-called correct method, right?"
This time.
The other party did not speak again.
Roger became more and more certain of his judgment.
From the very beginning he felt that the attitude and words of this Star Shepherd were very strange.
He clearly said that there was not enough time.
There was also a hint of motivation in his words to refine the planet.
He tried to play the enemy of the Lord of Time.
But he always praises the other party's strength.
He also pointed out clearly that Roger had once received favors from the Time Lord.
This is obviously a bit abnormal.
Combined with the understanding of the Star Shepherds that Roger gained from Xuan.
The counterfeit in front of him naturally has nowhere to hide!
…
"It seems that my acting skills are a bit poor..."
The other party laughed softly.
"It's not so much a poor acting as an arrogant attitude."
Roger said seriously:
"Perhaps in the eyes of a being like you, as long as I have not become a multi-universe life, I am not much different from other lives in this universe. You are even too lazy to spend more time on conspiracy, but just think that condescending to come and bluff me is the greatest sincerity."
So far.
How could Roger not know that the projection of the Star Shepherd in front of him was the Lord of Time in disguise?
In his opinion.
The opponent's layout is extremely crude.
Apart from the incredible power.
The conspiracy of the Lord of Time is not as complete as if Mystra just picked out an old bitch!
This is certainly not because the other party does not have the ability.
It was out of sheer arrogance.
That is a condescending attitude.
That is the uncontrollable contempt of higher-dimensional life for low-dimensional ants!
…
"No, I'm not arrogant towards you, I just..."
The Lord of Time suddenly laughed crazily in the middle of his words:
"What's the point of saying this now? I tricked you into living in the Aether Sea. No matter how strong you are, you can't go back..."
The words fell.
Roger could sense that the surrounding ether was fleeing into the distance at a rapid speed.
The ether sea instantly turned into an unfathomable ravine.
Only a place for both sides to stop was left.
Forming an isolated peak!
Roger shook himself.
He is still in Husky form.
It can be after Taihai disappears.
His expertise in traveling the ether sea also became useless.
The power of the powerful god cannot be exerted here.
It would take him a very long time to get back to the virtual world and return to the material world.
What he lacks most now is time!
"Let's have a chat..."
The Lord of Time chuckled:
"If you don't like the way I look now, I can change into something else. Which one do you like? A nurse? A police officer? A bunny girl?"
While talking.
His body shape kept twisting and changing.
Beautiful women in uniforms of all shapes and sizes flashed past Roger's eyes.
In a flash.
They have all completed the materialization!
Thousands of beautiful girls surrounded Roger.
They were laughing and playing.
Most of them were human girls, but there were also older ones and particularly young ones; there were also a wide variety of non-human races, and Roger even saw a tentacle girl in the crowd!
"Come on! What's the point of saving the world? We'll play with you..."
The girls came over laughing.
But he was kept out by a powerful force.
"Oh, you don't look like women..."
The Lord of Time's evil laugh sounded again.
Next second.
Half of the women in the crowd turned into young men in their prime.
There are also muscular men with shiny bodies.
There are also cute little boys whose gender is hard to tell with wide-open eyes.
…
However, Roger just watched the Time Lord's despicable tricks calmly.
After a moment.
He slowly said:
"I thought the illusion of multiverse life would be more advanced..."
"Hmm? Am I not realistic?"
A plump girl glared at him and said unyieldingly.
"I'm just bored..."
Roger was disappointed:
"I thought we would have a good fight, but you bastards... you will die with one punch from me!"
Next second.
He threw a punch suddenly.
Countless handsome men and beautiful women turned to ashes!
There were bursts of whistling sounds coming from the distance of the Aether Sea.
The surging tide of ether seems to be flowing back.
But it was intercepted by another powerful force!
So far.
Roger was the only one left on the lonely peak.
And the voice of the Lord of Time came from all directions:
“You are good at fighting, but so what? The Ether Sea has always only looked at status and level. I know you are trying to use the authority of a powerful god to communicate with the Ether Sea. Give up. Believe me! The level of my clone has reached the limit of this universe. No one can be higher than me, so no one can take away the authority to control the Ether Sea from me!”
Roger's expression remained unchanged.
Just after adjusting the parameters of the Aether Sea, he came to a conclusion similar to what the Lord of Time said.
He glanced at the other person.
Level Lv270.
"Is this the limit of this universe?"
Roger pondered secretly.
"It seems that it is not very high..."
The next moment.
The Husky opened his mouth slightly.
Spit out the trump card that has been hidden for a long time——
This is the real trump card!
…
"Blank trump card: You can instantly copy any of your own skills, specialties, items, props, weapons, talents, specialties... to this blank trump card.
…
The holder of the trump card can extract the power from the trump card.
…
"Hint: You have used your talent, Instant Divinity, for the second time. Your realm has been greatly improved. Your total level has reached Lv306!"
…
"You have become the first and only Supreme Being in the history of this universe (Lv300+)"
…
In an instant.
Countless sea water flowed back.
Under overwhelming grade advantage.
Roger calmly took back control of the Aether Sea.
The cage set up for him by the Lord of Time instantly became ineffective.
Even the other party's clone.
It was also easily grasped in Roger's palm!
You can crush him to death at any time!
However, at this moment.
The other party laughed triumphantly:
"Hahahaha! It really is the Supreme! I knew I wasn't seeing things!"
"Lv306! How terrifying! But now, apart from this ether sea, where else in the entire universe can accommodate you?"
"I'll kindly remind you that powerful creatures above level 260 will be expelled from the universe. What was the name of that high-spirited god back then? Oh, yes, he also had a girlfriend with a very unique personality. That's how he was expelled!"
"You can't go anywhere now. You can only stay in the ether sea. Otherwise, you will be expelled from your universe. What's the difference between this and being trapped in the ether sea by me?"
“Hahahahahaha…”
The other party laughed more and more wildly.
But I don't know why.
However, Roger heard a hint of desolation in the other person's laughter.
His gaze is usually far away.
The eyes become brighter.
Not far away.
A red sun rises from the sky above the ether.
Roger's face was filled with golden light.
He suddenly relaxed.
Gently said:
"I never said that I didn't want to leave this universe ..."
"After all, as long as we find a way to solve the problem of the universe's source embryo, there are so many local gods in this universe. It doesn't mean I have to do it myself... right?"
"Also, your laughter sounds like the helpless rage of a loser!"
He smiled and looked at the other person:
"You've already lost, haven't you?"
The Lord of Time's clone's body suddenly stiffened.
After a while.
He said dejectedly:
"Yeah, I've already lost."
"I have been defeated by you..."
"In the future?"
"Hmm? Another future..."
…
