Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 217: The Horrible Game (Part 1)
The questions from the God of Truth made Marvin feel horrified.
Although the hermit had pointed out some unspeakable things when he borrowed the sword to slay demons in the Underdark, Marvin didn't care much about it at that time.
He felt that as long as he was strong enough, he could solve any problem he encountered.
But the God of Truth was now standing here and telling him that she was murdered by Lance. How could he not be shocked?
"Honestly... I really don't know."
Marvin felt like his brain was about to explode!
The gift of wisdom has the instinctive ability to make inferences.
When Marvin encounters difficulties or doubts, this ability will be activated automatically, but this ability also has limitations.
When the name Lance appeared in Marvin's mind, his calculations would automatically stop.
His face suddenly turned pale!
Obviously, the gift of wisdom is not omnipotent, just like a wizard trying to use prophecy to find traces of God, there is a high possibility of being backfired!
After all, the other party is Fenan’s creator god!
…
"It seems that you really don't know."
Jasmine was silent for a while, and looked at Marvin strangely: "Are you really from another world?"
Marvin remained silent.
He didn't know how to answer this question.
Admit? Or deny?
Even gods would have a hard time accepting a time traveler, right? However, it seemed that some high-ranking officials knew that Lance had chosen him.
Fortunately, the God of Truth did not dwell on this issue. She thought about it for a long time before slowly saying:
"My resurrection may disrupt some people's plans, but you are the one he chose. How interesting."
"Although it may be a bit cruel and too early to tell you the truth now - after all, your power is too weak. But I think you have the right to know."
"Most importantly, do you want to know how to stand?"
Take side?
Marvin just found it a little ridiculous.
After he traveled to this world, he just wanted to live well, protect the things he cherished, and then make up for the regrets of his previous life and become a true hero.
So he ran tirelessly, leaving his footprints all over the Fenan world.
He didn't even have time to think about the deeper meaning .
Marvin himself didn't know whether this could be considered an escape.
The invasion of the dream servants caused her to meet Lance in her dream. In fact, he should have become suspicious at that time.
He thought for a moment and took a deep breath: "What exactly do you want to tell me?"
The God of Truth sighed, looked at Marvin with some pity, and finally said:
"If I say that Lance, the creator god of this world, wants to destroy this world, would you believe it?"
Marvin's mouth dropped open.
…
In the kingdom of truth, time is frozen.
Marvin had enough time to digest the information that the God of Truth had just revealed.
When he finished listening to all the stories, he felt extremely solemn.
He finally understood why she insisted on inviting him to her kingdom of God to discuss this matter.
Because the nature of the matter is so terrible.
Lance, the wizard god!
The man who is worshipped as the supreme god by all living beings in Fenan actually wants to destroy the world?
If someone else said this, Marvin would think he was crazy.
But on the other side is the God of Truth.
Marvin fell into a long silence.
He recalled the God of Truth's clear and logical narration:
"After I was resurrected, I have been looking for some traces of old friends."
"But unfortunately, I suddenly discovered that, except for Vanya, all the ancient gods of my generation have disappeared. I can't find them. And Lance disappeared the most completely. It's as if a time fault has appeared!"
"I found some clues and discovered the key to the problem."
"The key to the problem lies in the Third Age and the three stone tablets of destiny."
…
The Tablet of Destiny.
This term has a pivotal position in the history of Fernando.
According to the judgment of the God of Truth, the Slate of Destiny is actually the same as the Cosmic Magic Pool, both of which were created by the Wizard God Lance himself!
It has nothing to do with the will of the plane!
It was purely created by the Wizard God based on his understanding of the rules of various fields in this world, and it allows ordinary creatures to be deified.
From this perspective, all the new gods of the Third Age are man-made gods!
All of these gods were promoted by Lance.
The difference between the new gods and the old gods is actually that simple. The old gods all originated from the evolution of the plane's will or the blessing of promotion - that was a thing in ancient times.
The new gods were a group of gods created by the Wizard God alone.
In the eyes of the God of Truth, Lance promoted new gods in order to replace the ancient gods.
The fact that the power of the heavenly kingdom is now completely controlled by the three new gods is a clear proof of this.
Maybe the New Gods didn't know it, but they were undoubtedly Lance's pawns.
This is just the first step.
The second step is to guide the desires of the creatures in this universe.
The ancient gods do not have too many extra desires. They have a natural sense of belonging to Fenan because they themselves are the products of the will of the plane.
But the new gods are different. They evolved from humans or other creatures, and they are full of higher desires for this world.
They want a breakthrough, they want a higher level of power, they want to escape this cage.
So they will try to disrupt the existing order.
This is what Lance would like to see most.
Because in the entire Fenan Universe, the person who most wants to see the collapse of the cosmic order is actually the Wizard God Lance himself!
…
"But what good will the destruction of the universe do to Lance?"
When Ma Wen heard this, he actually began to believe it to some extent.
But he still raised his doubts with a dry mouth.
The God of Truth said calmly: "He wanted to escape from this cage a long time ago."
"You think this beautiful world is actually a shackle for him. He is the creator god of Fenan, so he has Fenan's indelible mark on him. This mark makes him omnipotent in this multiverse, but at the same time it is like a rope that ties him down."
"He yearns for a higher level of power. He may have seen the edge of that world. He can go there anytime he wants... I even estimate that he has sent all his friends to that world many years ago. Now he is the only one left, and of course he can't wait to leave."
"And the only way to leave is to destroy this world."
Marvin then questioned, "He is the God of Creation. If he wants to destroy this world, wouldn't it be easy for him?"
The God of Truth shook his head: "It's not that simple."
"This involves a game of will between Lance and Fenan."
