Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

It dawned on me one day that I myself was the last person in my life to die.

First the heart stops and the breath dies. Then he was buried, ceased to exist in society, and left quietly. Until the last person in this world who remembers me forgets me, all versions of me die, and the world finally has nothing to do with me.

I want to work hard to make this day come later, and leave this to my future self.

But one day I found out that there is only now time for that thing to be done.

Or. Now I am the "future self" in my eyes once upon a time, and it is time to complete the things he entrusted to me.

Because three months later—the world will give me no more existence, and I will disappear without a trace.

If we want to recognize the world we live in, and if we want to give up the attachment of relocating, the result will be to borrow the words of the black knight-the world is no longer worthy of my recognition as reality.

So - are we fighting each other, or are we fighting a world that has betrayed us?

All I know is that if one of us is qualified to be a god and stop this unreasonable end, the other will not lose his purpose in existence.

That being the case, we must be fighting against the unease of being betrayed by the world.

——I was holding an unusually heavy staff, and the magic circle stagnant in mid-air in front of me blocked all the swinging sticks, gradually lost its light, and scattered into fine crystal chips.

When the magical power gathered at the tip of the staff was dispersed, the weight became much lighter. It seems that the wand determines its weight according to the proportion of magic power. Thinking of this, for Elus, it is not as simple as I imagined that she can skillfully use this wand.

I let go of the imaginary pointer on my chest, and replaced it with both hands to hold the scepter tightly, pointing the tip at Lin Yu, who was standing in the sky due to a change in gravity in front of me.

In the eyes of outsiders, at this time, I have a big determination to succeed or be benevolent.

In fact, I did take this as the final blow, but perhaps not for the reasons the observers believed.

Gathering the magic power of the whole body to the top of the staff, I recalled the way Elus used it, the magic that emitted a strange light quickly opened the ice blue magic circle, and the temperature of the air instantly fell into freezing, as if it would freeze at any time. A layer of frost. The lines of the magic circle are inlaid with each other inside and outside, and several concentric circles are drawn in an instant to extend outward.

Sensing the abnormality, Lin Yu immediately spread out his arms, and as his palms collided with each other, all the barriers in the cage that had not yet disappeared moved and collided with each other at an extremely fast speed, causing each other to shatter and collapse in an instant Hundreds of mirror-reflected fragments were produced, all facing the direction of the magic circle to form a kaleidoscope, reflecting its cumbersome lines.

Lin Yu and I exhaled breaths that floated up into the sky at the same time, and the ice-blue magic circle confronted the curved kaleidoscope head-on. In an instant, an ice arrow floated out of the center of the magic circle, and suddenly shot towards Lin Yu unprepared. This move obviously collided with the ice arrow reflected in the mirror, and also shortened the opponent's length as if blending together, turning into a Snowflakes fall.

However, the arrows of ice arrows followed closely behind and covered the entire magic circle, as if a cube formed by cutting the six-sided barrier with an inclined plane, and fired at Lin Yu in tens of thousands.

At first, the momentum of the kaleidoscope composed of fragments was comparable, and they melted and offset each other's offensive. In an instant, the snowflakes scattered all over the sky and turned into a world of ice and snow. But not long after, the lens under the ultra-low temperature began to frost and blur, and the ice arrow instantly pierced through the ineffective fragments, smashing out several holes in the kaleidoscope in just a few seconds.

At the same time, the surrounding invisible barriers have all been frozen, so they show obvious traces of existence, and at the same time, we can no longer see the outside world from the inside, such as six ice walls restricting our sight range.

Lin Yu's footsteps began to falter, and he retreated with the dilapidated kaleidoscope, pushing the pedals away gradually, and even the pedals were cracked due to freezing.

The number of Frostbolts tended to decrease, and a few Frostbolts were bounced off and shot to the nearby barrier, penetratingly stuck on the wall.

"Hehe, that's all...?"

The dilapidated kaleidoscope scattered fragments mixed with crumbs. Lin Yuchang let out a sigh of relief to adjust his breath, but before the exhaled air drifted away, his relaxed eyes had to become tense again——

Because the magic circle did not disappear after exhausting the ice arrows, but a huge ice flower suddenly bloomed, and the moment the flower buds spun and opened, they shot out ice knives, guns, swords and halberds.

The difference from before was that a dark red color appeared under the icing, like dry blood that had formed a shape after freezing. Lin Yu hurriedly moved the pedal to the side, heeled backwards and jumped up, stepped on the side pedal and jumped into the air. The ice spear flashed under him at the nick of time, and shot straight at the wall behind him.

The moment the ice spear collided with the wall, it melted away, and the dark red became brighter in an instant. The dazzling red light quickly formed a deflagration from the inside to the outside, melting the wall almost instantly.

Working together with the original Frostbolt, it has a joint effect, causing a sharp deflagration in the frozen space, and even the invisible barriers will be destroyed immediately.

——This is the world of Elus, an extermination magic that uses the blood of the caster as energy, freezes the world and breeds the Balrog, and is also a taboo magic of the same family as "TIME FREEZE".

Next, swords, guns, swords and halberds will sweep across this walled world with no less than ice arrows.

It was impossible for Lin Yu to be able to withstand the damage caused by this.

The decisive battle between the "fantasy clock" and "one man with thousands of faces" is clear, and there is no need to continue.

"Hey... is that enough? All taboo magic is alive and has autonomous consciousness, so it becomes taboo. As long as it is supported by the caster's magic power and blood, this magic can even detect whether the opponent is hostile. Lin Yu , do you want to give up? If you stop here, its offensive will stop here."

As soon as the words fell, the kaleidoscope that formed a curved surface in front of Lin Yu shattered, scattering gloomy frozen fragments all over the ground.

But Lin Yu himself did not respond for a long time. He just supported the pedals that were gradually freezing on the side, slowly raised his tired eyes, and exhaled the frozen and foggy breath.

Like a fish waiting to be caught.

After just a moment, the tiredness in Lin Yu's eyes turned into an arrogance that I don't understand.

A moment of weirdness suddenly flashed in my mind, and in the next second there was a loud collision sound from the ice wall on the right and below, and the mutated airflow pushed me towards the wall.

The scepter almost fell out of my hand, and I stabilized the pointed hat on my head with one hand, only to find that the huge magic circle disappeared in an instant.

It was only because of the momentary loss of contact with my blood that the top of the scepter lost its light, and the ice-blue lines turned into fine crumbs and lost its shape.

is that so……?

Do you use "supported by the magic power and blood of the caster" as a breakthrough?

I thought of the ice wall that had been moving in a certain direction since the first time I was trapped in it. A smile inadvertently hung on the corner of my mouth, and then my body received a violent impact.

Because the frozen gas is sealed inside, the brittle wall is easily shattered the moment it hits a hard object, and the warm air from the outside slips into the world in the wall, causing the crack to extend all the way to the entire cube, and immediately pours into the suspected explosion. like a collision.

The field of vision was blocked by the scattered ice blocks and it was difficult to see clearly. My back fell heavily on the clock, and a large piece of ice fell down. I instinctively blocked it with the weapon in my hand, and the staff turned into a pitch-black sickle in an instant. The ice cube fell to the sides, and was pushed under the clock by the rotating second hand.

I tried my best to cough out the discomfort in my chest, and used the handle of the knife against the clock dial to jump up. The diffuse smoke reflected the black shadow, and the next second, Lin Yu's body was crushed with great force. I immediately stepped back and opened the distance, and swung the sickle to disperse the smoke and dust that obstructed the line of sight. I saw Lin Yu dragging his scars The tired body just jumped on the spinning pointer and rushed towards it.

— 9:53. Dominator time still available in Chart's "Absolute Observation".

But I only noticed Lin Yu's striding steps and raised fists, but I didn't find any sign of him using his dominance ability, let alone any small movements he was hiding in the subtleties——Lin Yu just relied on The body of flesh and blood is only getting closer to me.

I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth, but quickly put away my smile, and approached Lin Yu's approaching figure like stepping on the wind. The two sides step on the hour and minute hands respectively, rotating at different speeds, but they are also moving towards the center of the ruler's clock, getting closer to each other.

Precisely. It is not the "observer's clock" that steps under our feet, but the "observer's clock".

It suddenly occurred to me that those dream madmen who once participated in the domination war and later presided over the previous domination wars also fought in the same place as us?

Carry out the rules that I set up with my own hands, and fight to the death against the self-righteous "only God".

In the end, it was the tea cats who once rejected their stereotypes, defeated all the observers, and won the observer war.

But it is said to be a victory, but it cannot be said to be her victory. Because whether it is the domination war or the observer war, they are all games that have not been won from the beginning. Those who participated were doomed to fail from the very beginning, and the difference between victory and defeat only lies in who loses later.

Lin Yu and I are the survivors of this domination war. We are the last losers, not the so-called winners, and we don't want to fight for a victory that doesn't exist.

So why are we fighting?

Perhaps, I should admit that what the Creator said is true.

She just created a dominator game. As for the development of the dominance war afterwards, it is all the result of our own efforts.

The dream world is a world of imagination and cognition.

Whether it is the creator or the observers, perhaps there has never been absolute dominance. The Creator did not set any rules. As for the rules set by the observers later, it is better to say that they are the accepted norms of the rulers. Because although the rules were indeed proposed by the first winners, they cannot be transformed into reality without the approval of future generations.

Everything in this world is a fantasy based on our cognition, recognized and accepted by us.

The Creator, the Madman of Dreams—those are just observers of this war of domination.

We are the rulers of this war of domination.

—— Lin Yu held the stick with both hands, shouted his fate so far, and slashed towards my waist with all his strength.

——I raised my sickle high, like the god of death Danatus in ancient Greek mythology, cutting down the passing time and cutting off the opponent's life.

The pitch-black blade cut through nothingness, and immediately collided with the luster of the metal in the darkness, bursting out with incredible flames.

The flames collide with each other, and the forces that dominate different things are at this moment—the second hand is about to point to 60 seconds, and the minute hand is about to move away from the moment of 50 minutes—merging with each other, creating a strong light like a meteorite passing through the atmosphere at high speed.

The sixth sense from "Absolute Observation" flashed through the faint field of vision-through the "one person with thousands of faces" to generate common sense-Lin Yu and I looked up at the same time. Only at this moment, we witnessed the figure of Xia Yinci standing above.

The second hand passed "12" and turned to the next hour, the feeling of being connected with Lin Yu's consciousness disappeared immediately, and the girl's stunned eyes were blurred in the field of vision.

The movement of the stars has its own order, which is fate—Lin Yu, if you are at least connected with me at this moment and think the same thing, please seize this opportunity!

"It's now! Break the cage of fate and smash it to pieces—!"

The voice passed through the consciousness that we no longer communicate with each other. The swinging stick in front of him was suddenly suppressed by the force of the scythe. Lin Yu's body fell backward by inertia, but his gaze was directed at Xia Yin floating in the sky. Ci, a dark red flame shot out from the deep eyes——

As I said, we don't want to compete for victories that don't exist.

If you want to kill gods, if you want to know the truth of the world, why do you kill each other and wait until one side wins, and only one person challenges the Creator?

Rather than this, we should take this opportunity to declare war on the Creator together, our chances of winning will be better.

I don't want to be fooled anymore, I don't want everything to become the result of our own hand again, and be ridiculed by the bystanders.

Because we are the rulers of this war of domination.

——Under the momentary panic of the Creator, the dark red flame penetrated into her eye sockets with an unstoppable force even though she raised her hand to cover her eyes.

Lin Yu and I were hit by the force of the opponent's collision, the sickle and the swinging stick turned to the sides, and fell to the ground one after the other, arousing a heavy sense of sleepiness in the whole body.

It was difficult to support the body with trembling palms, and the soles of the feet also felt weak, but right now, the body could not be allowed to be scrapped and unable to move.

Because Lin Yu's "one person with thousands of faces" has not yet exerted its effect.

"I don't know good from bad, you two bugs..."

Xia Yinci covered her eyes and backed away, but her coquettish voice exuded frightening anger. Even though she was at a loss, she already understood that we had ulterior motives from the beginning to the end, and her body came down like a thunderbolt, kicking hard at the center of the clock with an incredible destructive force.

The clock fell apart almost instantly, and a violent hurricane swept towards us on the clock dial, easily blowing us away to the diameter of the entire clock on both sides. There was no object along the way to draw on, and the nails almost pushed the clock dial to the edge before clasping the clock's decorations, allowing the body to hang in mid-air.

"Hey ❤ Su Ruoyang! I really feel sorry for your choice~ You may have lived a few more days, although you are just lingering, but now there is only one dead end~ I will do it myself , enjoy the thrill of beheading you." Having said this, Xia Yinci's tone immediately turned cold, as if freezing everything in the world and falling to Lin Yu on the other side, "And I only have the word disappointment for you, Lin Yu Ah... ordinary human beings are really not worthy of high hopes! She is the only candidate she admires, but she is so foolish as to think that combining a mere plaything can do anything to me? Forget it, whatever~ Anyway, you win Sooner or later, I will solve it with my own hands."

While speaking, Xia Yinci frowned in disgust, a few strands of silver grew wildly from the soft blue hair, and it didn't take long to replace the black hair that was pouring down like a waterfall, and the fluffed silver hair flowed down the hood It fell into her sweater, but was instantly rushed out by a burst of air from her body, and slowly scattered behind her.

After taking off Xia Yinci's clothes, it took only a few seconds to completely change into the appearance of Qianyan in my impression, except for those blue eyes, no matter where they are placed, they are very suitable.

"Since you don't want to accept my kindness, the only thing waiting for you is death."

Qianyan lazily brushed aside her hair, and with a slight push with her palms facing outwards, the gravity that was torn to the sides immediately threw us off the clock.

The strong feeling of falling pushed my back, and I recalled countless situations similar to this. I always encounter the fate of falling from a high place in my dreams, and I am rescued by others in the end.

Almost every time the person who saves me is Qianyan, but now she personally puts my legs down into the air.

I inadvertently clenched my fists, my fingers clinging to the handle of the scythe, rubbing against it, and I looked away from the scythe to see the time displayed by the Dominator's clock.

This time I can only save myself, and I want to save more people, even this world near the end.

I held on to the crumbling pointed hat, and swung the sickle with my left hand with all my strength to become Elus' staff, and the top immediately squeezed out the remaining magic power in my body, and opened two bright green magic circles, which appeared on the Below where I met Lin. Like the earth in spring, vines grow wildly on the hexagram and weave into a net, holding the weight of Lin Yu and me.

"This sneak attack is the biggest gamble you've ever made in your life, Lin Yu?"

It was as if a soft hammock was attached to the back. In an instant, the sky flashed and thundered. The rattan net staggered the thunderbolt thrown by Qianyan Xinshou at an extremely dangerous angle, and brought Lin Yu and me to a nearby building and put it down. Perhaps thinking of the consequences of falling into the hands of the Creator, Lin Yu trembled slightly when he landed.

"No objection, really..." Lin Yu showed a ruffian smile, but the tiredness in his eyes could not be concealed, "It's a rare time to agree with you."

As soon as the words fell, thunderbolts in the sky caught up one after another. Lin Yu and I looked at each other, while avoiding the falling thunder, while running towards the destination.

——The only place to escape is the "Xinghai Tavern".

"How is it, does your 'One Man with Thousand Faces' work now?" I asked.

"Not yet. In short, the dream of a quick battle with her is shattered... However, our efforts were not in vain. I can feel her weak emotional reaction."

As expected, after all, we don't even have a certainty on whether "one person with thousands of faces" can have an effect on the Creator. We just have expectations for the phrase "I have the intelligence" she said, and judge that her thoughts are incomparable to human beings. different, decided to implement such a strategy.

Since he could feel a weak reaction, it was only a matter of time before Lin Yu invaded the creator's heart. We just need to use "Xinghai Tavern" as a base and wait for Lin Yu's "One Person, Thousand Faces" to take effect. Before that, we have to hold on no matter what, and try not to consider the escape route to reality through Xinghai Tavern.

Thinking about it carefully, relying on a sense of mutual trust to get to this point, we are betting all our fortunes in the hope of getting rich by lottery.

The reason why this kind of blindness works for the Creator is that she herself did not expect that mere human beings would throw away their lives and hit a stone with an egg, and more importantly, fortunately, Lin Yu had the same idea as me, so she compared the situation with mine. The battle is regarded as a drama that must use real swords and guns.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not that sharp."

Lin Yu seemed to have noticed my vague gaze, and raised his hand to scratch the tip of his nose, with a slightly awkward expression on his face.

"The reason why I agree with you is because you asked her "If the tea cat's request conflicted with her will, would she choose the latter without hesitation", if she hadn't replied that her will is superior to everything in the world , I will really take the decisive battle with you as the opportunity that the tea cat left me."

The qualification to challenge the gods - Tea Mao promised to give this to Lin Yu as a gift, and she did what she said. As for her real intention, I think it must be what we are doing now.

"It's not easy for you to think that my question has a deep meaning."

Since the Creator who "owns will is superior to all else" proposes "to determine the winner through our battle and compete with her for the position of "the only god"", the only possibility is——she has absolute and overwhelming power. Odds are, accept our challenge anytime within three months and win.

Not only is the victory of this challenge itself, but she will definitely use her way to crush our spirits and completely surrender to her just like she played with my fate wantonly before.

It must be because the Creator has absolute self-confidence that he will agree to the request of the tea cat and accept the challenge from any of us.

Or--

She used us as a tool again, trying to use us to bring the disaster of the doomsday to the real world, and let us replace Su Huilin as a prop to bring a real sense of the doomsday to the world.

——There is also such a possibility.

Since the Creator is not going to let us live no matter what, it is futile for us to pray to such a god thousands of times.

We grew up betrayed by the world, forever without a place to live.

So, give up relying on those seemingly reliable foreign objects.

Whether it is the earth or reality.

Now, please pray to ourselves.

【Su Ruoyang,

It's not too late this time,

You have enough time, if not enough,

can save your loved ones,

and yourself. 】
