The Death Knell

"I'm ready!"

Liana, with her long hair flying in the wind, is eager to try. She is ready to enter the demon form at any time to fight the enemy.

Seeing the tall tower that seemed to support the sky open to the two of them, she slowly adjusted her breathing, because the blood of the fighting nation seemed to be burning, which made her chest feel hot.

However, Su Ming beside her had no intention of entering the tower. The cowboy outfit on his body deformed and changed color in a burst of twisting. In the blink of an eye, he was replaced by black and yellow armor, and the red eyepiece on the mask suddenly lit up. rise.

He raised his head and looked at the Dark Tower for a while, then transformed the God-Slayer lightsaber into a loudspeaker, put it to his mouth and shouted:

"Creation God Gan, I'm here to negotiate terms!"

The mysterious guest blinked and appeared, and the teacher's terms appeared again!

However, can this tower really respond?

The voice passed into the open door of the Dark Tower, and waves of echoes echoed back from the darkness:

"Negotiating terms!"

"Conditional!"

"One piece!"

But this is not a response in the true sense. Gann is the Dark Tower, and this tower is the God of Creation. If it still has sense, it should not refuse Deathstroke's conditions.

Su Ming put down the loudspeaker, turned it back into a weapon, and shrugged at the mysterious guest beside him:

"We cannot enter this tower, otherwise it means that we have entered the body of Gan. He is the multidimensional creation god and one of the poles of the black and white cycle of this world. If we enter this tower, it means that we have entered his body. The cycle, the next second we will appear at the starting point of the journey, then everything will have to start again."

"I hate this game." Mysterio was stunned for a moment, then she put away her weapon. She stood next to the teacher with her arms crossed: "Why do you have to go back to the starting point when you reach the end? This is too boring and hopeless."

"It may seem a bit boring, but if you play it by yourself, the Meat Pigeon Lake game is quite interesting."

Good teacher Su Ming answered with a smile. He didn't even mean to move. He just stood there and waited for the tower to answer:

"Especially when the entire timeline is a closed loop, the concepts of starting point and end point are no longer important. For example, those toy timelines of Kang the Conqueror are like this, like snow globes, when all the small white debris inside When it hits the ground, he'll turn it upside down, shake it, put it back in place, and the cycle will begin again."

Kang the Conqueror has great disadvantages in the operation of the timeline, but if you want to play parallel universes, you often cannot avoid the gift of knowledge he gives.

The smart Liana understood. She nodded and squatted down, simply waiting in the rose field in front of the tower:

"That's why we walked backwards."

"That's not a performance art, but a special ritual. Maybe it means 'going upstream' along the flow of time in the river of light. Maybe it means using human power to 'restart the snow globe.' Who knows? ?”

Deathstroke was still very patient and signaled Strangler to turn into a super loudspeaker:

"In short, the result is that we are in. We have come to the center of this multiverse, the Dark Tower, which is both the starting point and the end point. Now this result proves that the previous steps are not wrong, then accept the reality, because this reality is beneficial to us. "

He re-recorded his previous shouting on his mobile phone, and then used the symbiote to play it in a loop.

"Gann, I'm here to negotiate terms!"

If one time is not enough, play it again, and then play it a hundred times.

The loop continues indefinitely until the answer is obtained.

Because no matter what, as long as you do this, one of Gunn and Merlin will definitely come out.

To give an easy-to-understand example, the Blood King is the end BOSS designed by Merlin, and after defeating him, the protagonist enters the ending animation process.

Under normal circumstances, the player controls his character to enter the Dark Tower, the door closes, the screen goes dark, and then the programmer and dubbing artist's form starts to play.

After this meaningless form that no one has ever seen has passed, the players' eyes will light up and they will see the character they control reappearing at the starting point of the journey, and this is how the second game begins.

In the Dark Tower universe, if Roland is regarded as a controllable character, Merlin has probably played him for tens of thousands of times...

But today it was not Roland who arrived at the door of the Dark Tower. Instead, he put together all the fragments of the Mirror of Laughing, triggering the death knell of the true ending. He did not follow the ending animation, but stopped motionless outside the door.

This caused the Dark Tower Universe's "multiple game program" to become stuck.

If this game is not over, the next game cannot start. If Merlin's multi-player game is regarded as a handheld console, the current situation is that it gets stuck while playing the ending animation.

What should I do if my game console freezes?

Either forcefully pull out the cassette, or pull out the battery, you have to choose at least one, and either way is to restart multi-dimensionality, but Merlin can't bypass Gann to do these things.

After the cataclysm, the one who maintained the multiverse in a state of survival and preserved everyone to form an 'archive' was never Merlin, but the creator God Gann.

Merlin is just a person who uses the story framework established by Gunn and twists it into his own game...

Of course, they also have a third option, which is to stop playing for the time being and put the game aside.

But that's fine, what the Supreme Mage is best at is spending time with others. This is the basis for negotiating terms, isn't it?

Even though there is no exact concept of 'time' in the Dark Tower's multidimensional universe, it doesn't matter that Deathstroke can consume them until the almighty universe dies. He can also remotely control external events through his lieutenant, and Gin can control the situation.

But Gann and Merlin have nothing left but this story of being cyclically 'hanging' on the edge of destruction, this multiverse.

There is no other way out, which means there is no choice.

If you want to live, then come out and negotiate terms. These terms are not provided to Merlin. Su Ming wants to negotiate with the gods who created this diversity.

If Gunn doesn't come out to respond, he will stay here.

Let Zhuo Shi, who had transformed into a loudspeaker, hold the cell phone and play the message in a loop. Su Ming took out a tent and a pot from his pocket, dug a hole in the rose field, and seemed to be preparing to take the students to camp here.

The environment is not bad. Although it is an incomplete plane, the air here is fresh and there is no radiation, making it very suitable for human habitation.

Even if Su Ming himself and Mi Ke are both hungry and thirsty, if the environment is better, at least it will be comfortable to live in, right?

Deathstroke set up a small pot, and the mysterious guest set up a tent, and then the two of them prepared to have a picnic.

Anyway, it’s all spent here.

As the supreme mage of the second dimension, Mysterio is also very familiar with this routine, but in hell, this deceitful process is more common among demons.

"I also brought an instant hot pot. Do you want the red oil one? Or the cream one?"

The teacher pulled out two boxes of food like magic and waved them in front of the students.

"Red oil, you must eat red oil." Liana, who is obviously a hairy girl, has a more oriental taste. She squatted beside the bonfire transformed by the death knell: "Actually, you can eat anything. If you don't eat, I will die. No, as long as the teacher is around, I will be happy."

"You're so good at talking. Sometimes I feel that even if Natasha has received a full set of spy training, she can't speak as well as you." Su Ming tore open the package of the hot pot, poured the edible food inside into the pot, and then He folded a rose on the side and threw it into the bonfire to add flavor: "Let's consume it in units of a thousand years and see how long the owner here can endure."
