Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　The gear man looked at the gemstone in Jenkins's hand:

　　 "Or enjoy tranquility, and be willing to live quietly in this extraordinary era, watching everything from the perspective of a bystander."

"Sure enough, these seven goals have goals...probably I will be as unwilling as the tower guards. Obviously I have come to such a magnificent era and have witnessed this extraordinary world. How could I be willing to be like an ordinary person? Live the same?"

　　 "You are a very ambitious person."

　　 Gear people commented.

　　 "Of course, I have always been quite ambitious. You know me very well, after all, most people around me think that I am the kind of person who is indifferent to fame and fortune."

　　 "They just didn't see the stronger desire hidden in your heart."

　　Except for Alexia, the difference engine was the first person to take the initiative to realize this.

"That's why I am willing to ask you again and again if you are willing to join me. You are not the same as these humans. You see the world from the same perspective as mine, above the world. And these mortals, see There are only these things in front of you. Maybe you still don’t agree with my concept, but it doesn’t matter. Whether you defeated me or I defeated you, you will gradually understand. Compared to your strength, your age is really It’s too small, you haven’t seen enough things, and your knowledge of the world is not enough."

　　 Jenkins cannot refute this point. The difference engine is right. He is indeed not mature. Compared to the other party's experience spanning countless epochs, even if Jenkins has read so many books in the world of his hometown, he cannot be regarded as mature.

"However, you don’t seem to be sure that you can beat me? I noticed that you just used the hypothesis. What about your calculations? Why don’t you count your winning percentage? Or, because you’re not sure how long you can delay me , So I can’t give a definite answer.”

　　 "First of all, there is no 100% probability for anything, so even if my winning rate reaches 99.9%, I would not think that I will win."

　　 "Meow~"

　　 A certain cat called.

　　 "Secondly, your guess is indeed correct. I am really waiting for time. Now is the critical moment. I don't mind telling you that in the next half an hour, I will be able to complete the final integration at any time."

　　 "So, as long as I throw this diamond to you and complete this conundrum, I will be able to face you who have not yet been merged?"

　　 Jenkins threw the gemstone in his hand.

"No, after you give me the diamonds, I will break the rules like the host of the treacherous world you encountered during the process of climbing the tower, and will not announce the end of the treacherous world. Therefore, you have to use a similar duel method to win first. My body."

　　 Gear Man points to himself, and then introduces:

　　 "You have defeated many of my bodies in the past, but I can guarantee that this one is the strongest humanoid body I have made, and will definitely not let you down."

　　 "If I defeat you, I can see the core of your ontology?"

　　 Although this sentence is very confusing, but Jenkins believes that the other party understands the meaning.

"No, this body that defeated me just means the end of the deception. Of course you can choose to leave, but you won't do that because you came to me. When the deception is over, I am lurking in this deception. The huge body of Nolan City will lose its shackles, and you need to defeat the body I used to fight.

　　 I know that you have defeated you once in the last treacherous realm, but that body is only used to test your upper limit of strength, and is a tool to determine your state when you see me. Here is the essence of condensed. "

　　 "So after defeating your huge body, will you be able to see the core of your ontology?"

　　 Jenkins asked again.

　　 "Yes, that is the final battle."

　　 "That's how it turns out, two stages of transformation into three stages, I didn't expect that the final of the treacherous state is still three."

　　 Gear Man certainly didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but it also didn't understand, why didn't Jenkins immediately threw the gemstone to it.

　　 "Do you mind if I delay time?"

　　 "Of course I don't mind, chatting with you is very interesting."

　　 Jenkins said, still making people unable to see his expression.

"William the savior, what exactly is your hole card? That spiral sword? I predicted that you will possess it. Or is it the new power you gained in the process of climbing the tower? Or, you are against the world tree The power of the man is extremely confident. Or, do you think that in the competition for mechanical ability, you must be able to win?"

　　 "It's hard to say, you can give full play to your imagination."

"Are you waiting for your teacher Oliver? He is under the tower now, and he is holding a very interesting numbered item, but I don't think he can interfere with our duel... That key? Evolution key? Do you want to Use it to further start the evolution of the world tree?"

　　 This is theoretically feasible. When Jenkins used the [Four Seasons] ritual to nurture the world tree, he used the power of the evolution key. The power of that key is not only that, it can also support the next evolution. But in this way, Jenkins may permanently lose the human form and the power of death and mechanical power. Before the balance is mastered, the rash growth of the world tree will have a profound impact on the essence of Jenkins.

　　 Seeing that Jenkins didn’t speak, Gear Guy guessed again:

"Are you waiting for people in the material world to help you? In a very small probability, your friend does have a chance to come here in a near miraculous way. I have considered such a small probability event, but I don't think you He is a probabilistic person. Or, during your two departures from the tower, did you find a way to increase the probability of'your friends entering the treacherous realm'?"

Chapter 2212: The Demise of Civilization (Part 1)

"No need to test, difference engine, you should be very clear about what I did after I left this tower? Even if the core enters the tower, you will not relax the control of the outside world. You should know everything I do. So asking this deliberately, I think it’s not necessary to delay time, right?"

　　 asked Jenkins in the moonlight at the window.

　　 "Yes, I do know that your friend found a fragment of the slab."

"Ok?"

　　 Jenkins didn't know about this. No one mentioned that Miss Magic and others found this kind of thing.

"do not you know?"

　　 "I... guessed it."

　　 He completely guessed what kind of miracle would be created by Miss Magic's abilities once they could harvest from the slate fragments.

But all this is not Jenkins's hole card. After understanding the hint that Ovia has always wanted to give him, he knew that he could not lose this battle anyway. Therefore, at this time, it was almost "leisure". Gesture is here to talk to the differential engine.

　　 Jenkins just said that he has to wait until the differential engine becomes a beast of disaster before doing it, so that he does not have to wait decades or hundreds of years for a new beast of disaster to appear.

　　 "Meow~"

　　 The cat being held also wants to wait for the opponent to completely become a beast of disaster before doing it, so that it can better demonstrate the power and effect of the cat. Although the difference engine completely integrates the original steam engine and the [Mechanical Heart], it will be troublesome to fight, but the cat now is not the cat of a year ago.

Following Jenkins for so long, stealing so many good things, and being able to relax slowly in a happy mood, the power lost by chocolate because of forcibly entering the material world, although it cannot be said that it has been completely made up, even if it is not. It is at the peak state, but it is not a problem to fight a new calamity beast.

　　 The cat is such a self-confidence, so it is also happy to drag time with Jenkins here.

　　 "Then what is your confidence to talk to me here?"

　　 Gearman asked, then praised:

　　 "As expected, he is the **** who masters the power of lies. As expected, people can never see through you... Could it be your cat?"

　　 Until now, the difference engine did not know the true face of chocolate. Although chocolate's self-recognized "perfect" and "intelligent" disguise has many flaws, it is only discovered by people who often come into contact with it. Like a differential engine, I have almost never seen chocolate several times. As long as the chocolate is deliberately disguised, it is a guess Not the real face of the cat.

"I know that your cat is not normal, otherwise you will not be brought here. Does your cat have spatial power and can break through the space walls of the deceitful realm and let the Orthodox Church outside enter here? No, you should I know that the fighting power of the Church of God is meaningless to our battles. If you want to win, the winning rate when facing me alone is the greatest."

　　 Hearing this speculation, a smile appeared on Jenkins's face, but he did not approve or deny:

　　 "Skip the question of my hole cards, I want to talk about some more valuable topics before I get started."

　　 "What do you want to talk about?"

"I want to know, out of the seven goals of never fatigue, fearlessness, hard work, vigor, selfless dedication, fantastic ideas, and peace and indifference, which of these seven goals were arranged by you? Or, all of them. Did you arrange it all?"

　　 "Does this matter?"

　　 "Just to satisfy my curiosity."

"I did not arrange any of them. I said that this treacherous situation is here, waiting for you here. I just arrived one step earlier and distorted some unimportant details. You should think that fate is for us. Arrange the last part of the journey before the decisive battle and give us the opportunity to walk through this era together. I think both of us should enjoy this journey instead of guessing whether this is a trap."

"I didn't think this was a trap, but I was surprised about it. These seven benign qualities can be called important, but they appear in a humorous style. Since they are arranged by fate, do they give me any hints? The selfless dedication is mixed with a utilitarian mentality, the vigor and vigor is only the adults. The never-tired miners are already tired. The source of the whimsy is to make money and become famous. Fearless sailors are not reconciled to ordinary ambitions in the evasive, hard-working women who dare not face the future, and calm and indifferent. Don't you think this is quite interesting?"

　　 Jenkins asked, shaking his head.

"It's really interesting. The variables of the human heart are difficult to calculate clearly. You should understand better than I am that there is no pure person or pure heart in this world. A heart cannot remain pure, it will always be mixed with something. Yes. These seven people represent your age, the savior. Do you need me to repeat such a simple truth?"

　　 The gear man in the shadow replied.

　　 "Yes, complicated and impure, then the difference engine dares to absorb this impure heart, isn't it afraid to pollute yourself?"

　　 Gear Man did not deny this:

"Pollution? No, I am absolutely rational. In fact, the half-broken and incomplete soul is the most suitable for me. Nothing is perfect. If I have a perfect body, perfect calculation power, and perfect soul, On the contrary, I will be jealous of fate. I, who is absolutely rational, will use everything I absorb as a model and reference variable. The power of the human heart cannot pollute me unless my soul is complemented."

　　 Looking at it this way, complementing the opponent's soul, and then polluting it from the human aspect, is probably also a way to defeat the opponent. Unfortunately, this is too much trouble, Jenkins will not choose this route.

　　 "It's almost the same, and I will ask you one last question, what do you think of this era?"

Jenkins asked. He was still standing in front of the window, but more of his body stayed in the dark. The brightest in the dark was the chocolate eyes, but Jenkins's body contour was still clear, so it was like a cat growing out of Jenkins' chest. The same as the eyes.

　　 At present, only the hand playing with that gemstone can be illuminated by the moonlight. Reflecting the moonlight, the gemstone is astonishingly beautiful.

　　 "This is a big question, but I can answer it. Your time is the best and the worst."

　　 "Interestingly, I became a gifter a year ago. When I first left the church and came to the street to see this era, I said something similar (Chapter 16). Did you overhear it?"

"How did I know who you were at that time? William the savior, so I said that you know me best. The best times are the great development of culture, economy, industry, and even the big bang. There will be every moment. New ideas, new ideas, and new ideas are generated. Opportunities are everywhere, and opportunities are everywhere; but this is also unfair. The huge wealth you have created is not relatively evenly distributed to everyone here.

　　William the savior, you are the king of the human kingdom. Can you think of how many families can afford to eat a meal on your own? This is unfair, and with the dual order of the kingdom and the church, people can't even find room to resist.

　　 That’s why I said it’s the best here, and it’s the worst here. "

　　 "From your point of view, has there been a similar era in the past?"

　　 Jenkins asked again, it's not that I'm really curious.

　　 "There have been many times when the civilizations of intelligent creatures in the material world reached their heyday in different forms. It is related to you, such as the heyday of the elves."

　　 Although this period of history is very long, Jenkins has heard that the elves once ruled the entire material world, including other different races and humans under their own rule.

　　 "So how did the heyday of the elves enter into decline?"

　　 Jenkins asked again.

　　 "There is a problem with the world tree. The adjustment of the world tree has caused the elven population to decline rapidly, weakening their control beyond the core territory."

　　 "In other words, the decline of the elven civilization is due to the world tree rather than its own problems. Although it is not a natural disaster, it is not a man-made disaster... Are there any similar examples?"

　　 "Dragons once developed a powerful civilization. Although they are not humanoid races, the art, architecture and creativity of dragons are also worthy of nostalgia."

　　 "How did the dragon's civilization decline?"

　　 "For those who were destroyed by the doomsday, you should know that there is dragon-related among the beasts of calamity..."

　　 "The nine-headed dragon king who assimilates everything?"

　　 This person did not appear in the nine-story tower.

"Yes, I also wanted to find its power to deal with you, but unfortunately I didn't find it. This beast of calamity appeared because of the ambition of the dragons. In this world, there are still most humanoid intelligent lives. So the dragons had a magical idea, um, very magical, you might as well guess."

　　 The Gear Man invites Jenkins.

　　 "They want to use their own blood to pollute the blood of other races, so as to assimilate everything in the world?"

The tone of 　　 sigh is affirmative.

"It's not all right, but it's almost the same. From a human perspective, you can think of what a crazy idea that is. So of course, in this kind of cross-racial transformation, strange individuals will inevitably appear. From these huge numbers In his strange madness, the small probability event was magnified, and the calamity beast was born in an almost impossible way."

　　 "Really...this is probably the lesson."

　　 This is really a typical case of seeking a dead end.

　　 "In this respect, the end of the Dragon Age is very similar to yours, and it perishes because of the greed and intemperance of the race."

"Our age will not die, and the end of the Dragon Age does not mean that our society has developed into a state of collapse. It should also be regarded as an external force... This is not accurate. In short, the end of the Dragon Age is not because The system, the destruction of the civilizations you witnessed, seems to be not because of the system, but because of the extraordinary elements."

Chapter 2213: The Demise of Civilization (Part 2)

　　 "Do you want to prove that even if the order of human civilization is decayed to the present level, it can actually be saved?"

　　 Gearman asked.

　　 "Then please give me an example, an example of a civilization destroyed by the collapse of order."

　　 Jenkins said while playing with the diamond.

　　 "It's very simple, do you know the ocean age of the material world?"

"Of course I know that at that time there was no complete continent in the material world, only scattered islands. For this reason, in that era, the races in the ocean had the advantage, such as mermaid, murloc, naga, etc. Although because It was the ancient era, and there was almost no information left, but from modern archaeology and the sporadic relics found on islands off the sea, we can also know the splendor of that era...The rupture of the marine civilization was due to The reason for the system?"

"Marine civilization is not a civilization of a single race, but a civilization jointly established by intelligent creatures living in the sea at that time, and jointly governing terrestrial creatures. With your wisdom, even if you have not experienced a society where too many races have united and governed together, I must be able to understand the risks involved. Therefore, at the beginning, the various races can guarantee to live according to the original contract, but the accumulation of contradictions from generation to generation has finally triggered a full-scale war.

　　 "So, the civilization of the Sea Clan was destroyed because of the total war?"

　　 Jenkins can imagine the scene of strange groups fighting each other in the sea. According to the description of the gear man, it is indeed possible to cause this result.

　　 "No, they just reached the tipping point of the destruction of civilization. Only a little bit, they will be able to destroy their civilization."

　　 "Someone saved them? Was it an excellent leader in the population, or a strong one who was born suddenly?"

　　 "Neither, but someone destroyed their civilization one step ahead of time, so they failed to completely self-destruct."
