Volume 3: The Land of Mist Chapter 51: Iron Law
The present world, the cage, the holy spirit, the jailer, the astral world, the moon realm...
As a reason to destroy the world, this is a terrible idea.
If Blake was still the magic swordsman who only thought about how to swing the sword, then he would only regard the other party as another madman who planned to destroy the world for inexplicable reasons.
In the past, the End Watch has killed enough lunatics like this.
But now, after he had obtained the rank of high-level Moon Realm Lord and was able to see the more essential side of the world, he had to doubt these seemingly crazy statements, or in other words, he had doubts about what the reality of the world was.
Compared to all ideas, which need to be put into practice before they can be realized and become the established reality, the Moon Realm, as a reflection of thoughts, represents the essence of things in the Moon Realm.
No matter how perfect and vivid the architectural blueprint in an architect's mind is, as long as he does not lay bricks and tiles one by one and build the building bit by bit, then the building will never appear in the world.
However, in the Moon Realm, in theory, as long as your building blueprint is detailed enough and you have a strong enough will to believe in its existence, it will truly appear in .
What this divinely inspired person wanted to express was that the world should have been like the latter, a utopia where everyone could achieve their dreams.
But precisely because of the existence of the seven jailers called Holy Spirits, everyone in this world has been imprisoned and needs to rely on their own actions to realize their ideals - in even more cases, even if they try hard, they cannot achieve it.
"Is that so? I am just an ordinary Moon Realm Lord and don't know much about these things. I need you to tell me what kind of perfect utopia the Moon Realm is?"
Blake asked sarcastically in response to her words.
"Besides, it's not like humans haven't set foot in the Moon Realm before. What you said about creating things in the Moon Realm with one's own will is pure nonsense in my opinion."
In fact, even a magic caster, who had a mental power far beyond that of an ordinary person, could only make himself fly in the Moon Realm.
The dying girl shook her head and replied.
"Think carefully, is it the strength of your mental power that restrains you? Not necessarily? For example, your Chief Judge, Mr. William Kane..."
When the girl mentioned this name, an expression of admiration and regret appeared on her face.
"In terms of the scale of his mental power, he is not even inferior to most of the Void Kings. But in the Moon Realm, he still has to rely on constructing spells to release magic. But you, whose mental power is far inferior to his, can freely create things in this Moon Realm with your own will. Do you know why?"
Seeing that Blake was silent, the girl smiled and continued:
"Because the so-called 'common sense' of this world imprisoned him, when he imagined constructing a specific thing, an equally powerful force would emerge from his subconscious mind telling him that it was impossible to do so. The two forces canceled each other out. But the moment you obtained the status of Moon Realm Lord, you broke through many 'common sense' constraints. In this way, you were able to construct those things that were allowed within your authority."
"common sense?"
Blake repeated the word with some doubt.
"We will call all powers including magic, authority, and the Moon Realm 'supernatural', right? But have you ever thought about why they are called 'supernatural'?"
The malicious smile on the girl's face made Blake feel sick.
Without waiting for Blake to answer, the girl said directly in a solemn tone:
"Because since those things are so-called 'supernormal', it means that above these powers there is an iron law called 'mundane', which binds all of you equally! And breaking that iron law is our mission. Compared with this great cause, even the 'Astral Circuit' that William Kane once hoped to use to popularize magic is just child's play!"
Hearing this, Blake didn't plan to say anything more to the other party.
He directly plunged the black sword in his hand into the girl's chest.
The expression on her face did not change at all. She just stared at Blake and said:
"So... think more about the nature of this world. Witness it with your own eyes. Then think about whether this cruel world is really worth protecting as your Chief Judge claims."
Blake's response to this was to push the sword two inches further into the opponent's chest, causing her to shut up completely.
According to his past experience fighting against the "Touch of Disaster", this would be enough to expel the opponent's power from the body of this divinely inspired being.
The girl who served as the vessel of the "God's descent" was in a state of weakness after suffering such a severe blow, and it seemed that she might die at any time.
Therefore, the holy white lines gradually lit up from the hilt of the sword in Blake's hand, extending all the way to the blade, and then materialized into tentacles emitting soft light. They clung to the girl's body and began to tremble slightly with her weak heartbeat.
The other party's breathing, which was close to failure, began to become stable again.
Although Blake had not completed the Void King's Ascension Ceremony and did not have the power to decide the life and death of a mortal with a single thought, as a high-ranking Moon Realm Lord, he could still easily use his own power to temporarily save a person's life.
"Then we can hand it over to the judge to treat it..."
Blake muttered to himself absentmindedly.
At this moment, his mind was still thinking about what the other party had said before.
The so-called iron law called "commonness"...
Blake had indeed noticed this.
In other words, this point vaguely touches upon something that he is reluctant to mention until now.
After Black Crow Watch was integrated into the Dawn Fortress, he was enveloped by an inexplicable feeling of oppression.
Although Blake never complained about it, the feeling of being trapped in a matchbox was real.
So does this really mean that the present world is...
Realizing that he was thinking about the problem according to the direction given by the other party, Blake immediately shook his head to interrupt his thoughts.
No matter how noble their motives are, they cannot conceal the fact that they want to achieve their goal by destroying the entire world.
Just understanding this is enough.
Thinking of this, the doubts that had previously filled Blake's mind naturally disappeared.
Even as the Lord of the Moon Realm, Blake still possesses a human soul.
Although he didn't know how the Judge did it , William resurrected himself as the "Father of Crows" while still maintaining his human personality.
In a sense, this is a miracle on par with the Resurrection itself.
After that, the Chief Judge often instructed Blake to fight in a way that he could understand, rather than letting himself be intoxicated by the condensed power.
"Remember, the madness of the Moon Realm's power will give you the illusion that you can control everything, but that is just an illusion. The value of being awake lies only in being awake itself. If illusions can really be woven into reality, then why does the Moon Realm need to stir up waves in the world so many times?"
This is what the presiding judge said to me at the time.
Thinking of this, Black suddenly pulled the sword out of the opponent's chest.
Why didn't he discover such an obvious loophole until now?
"You are not a divine enlightener at all! You have deceived all of us!"
Blake suddenly shouted at the girl who seemed to be "dead", his face full of regret.
After pulling out the sword, the girl breathed her last in an instant. For a moment, Blake thought his guess was wrong.
However……
"How did you find out?"
The girl staggered to her feet from the ground, her movements as stiff as a puppet being pulled by strings.
"You use the Moon Realm to compare with the present world to prove that we are in prison. You are a little too proud of yourself."
Blake replied to the "girl" in front of him.
"Is there anything wrong with this?"
The girl continued to ask.
"The Moon Realm was born from the thoughts of living beings in this world. If the world is a prison, then the Moon Realm is a cage within the prison."
Blake replied.
The other party shook his head when he heard this.
"It's really sad to hear someone who almost became one of us say this... And I'm curious about one thing."
"If the Moon Lord's heart explodes, will he die like a mortal?"
As soon as the girl finished speaking, a huge empty hole was instantly blown open in Blake's chest.
