These big shots are actually me

"Well, since you insist on doing this, we can't advise you."

After saying this, Anne raised her head with a cold expression and said:

"Outlander, you really mean it's too late now!"

As Anne finished speaking, the sky in the entire world in the painting turned strangely scarlet.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Mozo knew that the world in the painting at this moment should be impossible to enter and exit easily.

After looking up, Mozo lowered his head to Anne, who looked extremely cold and asked: "It doesn't matter, but is Queen Victoria okay? And what happened to the princess you mentioned before?"

The princess that Mozo heard about in the first place has always troubled Mozo.

The Victoria royal family does not have so-called blood descendants, so what is the situation with this princess?

For Mozo who is still ‘unrepentant’. Annie, whose face was cold just now, suddenly fell down.

"You are a really insufferable person, or are you confident that you can make it to the end safely?"

After rubbing the corners of her eyes, Annie said to Mozo in a funny tone:

"The princess you are talking about is Her Majesty the Queen. She is our companion in faith, the mistress of this dynasty—Queen Victoria!"

"The queen is the princess?"

Mo Zuo was a little confused by this rhetoric.

"Yes, the queen is the princess. As for why it became like this, it can only be said to be a little fun created by time."

Anne did not continue to explain. After she put down her hand that was rubbing the corners of her eyes, she clasped her hands in front of her waist and said to Mozo:

"Don't you want to know what's going on here?"

"Then let's start from the beginning."

Seeing this, Mo Zuo could only put away his curiosity and nod his head and said:

"Please start!"

"You should know that all of us moved here to take refuge during that divine war, right?"

"Yes, I basically know everything at that time. But I have no idea what happened in the world in the painting."

"You know quite a lot. You are a strange foreigner. But this is good, it can save me a lot of trouble."

Annie's voice slowly brought out a hint of nostalgia for the past, as well as more helplessness and loneliness.

"Everything went well at first. Although everyone was very uneasy, we all believed that our Lord God could return to the world in the painting and continue to protect and guide us."

"This is also Her Majesty the Queen's greatest spiritual support."

"And this shelter that our main god, His Majesty Angel, created for us is unexpectedly perfect. If everything outside was not so disturbing, living here would definitely be a very good thing."

"In the first few years and even hundreds of years, we and Her Majesty the Queen were able to hold on to the belief that the Lord God would return sooner or later."

"But as time goes by, we and the people who have become accustomed to living in the world in the painting are fine. But Her Majesty the Queen has lost her husband and it is becoming more and more difficult to survive."

"Your Majesty really wants to leave the world in the painting to find all traces of her husband, but she can't, because after our faith leaves, Her Majesty the Queen is the only sustenance for all her people."

"It's fine if it's for a short period of time, but what if Her Majesty the Queen is gone and never comes back like Her Majesty Angel?"

"In that era of constant war, a dynasty without gods was already very disturbing. What's more, even the last queen and angel are leaving?"

"So Her Majesty the Queen can only suffer in this garden-like world."

287 Nightmare

In that ancient and distant age of gods, the original had already fallen into the blood and fire set off by the ancient gods. But this person who unites all things has not faded out of people's sight.

Because in that era, it was not just the dragons who had been waging wars of revenge against the ancient gods, making the name Yuanchu always active in the sight of every living being.

And the most important thing is that the biggest reason why the ancient gods and new gods all fight on their own is because of a rumor that comes from nowhere. In other words, it is the stubbornness that sprouted out of greed—sequence zero is not the end.

Every god wants to take the impossible step, and their followers are also eager to gain promotion and exemption.

It's just that it wasn't until the end of the long age of gods that all the participants suddenly realized that what they and the Lord God were pursuing was just a big joke.

Starting from one, how does one become one?

When this belated awakening appeared in the hearts of all living beings, the crazy war of the Age of Gods also ended with the end of the last ancient god.

But this does not exist for people in the world of paintings!

Their memory of the outside world undoubtedly stayed in the Age of Gods, that is, the truly troubled times when people and nations were destroyed at every turn.

Even the reason why they hid in this garden-like painting world was because of the terrible war of the Age of Gods.

So for the people of the Victoria Dynasty.

Their situation is like a grasshopper on a fire, in a state of destruction at any time.

Therefore, the queen's existence is very necessary. In the years when Angel, the master of painting and shadow, is away, the king will obviously be the pillar of support for his followers.

No matter how dark the road ahead is, as long as there is such a pillar of support, people have hope of living.

Victoria did not dare to leave the world in the painting because of this. Because she was not sure whether she could go and come back.

She is afraid that something will happen that will prevent her from returning in time, and she is even more afraid of finding the unacceptable truth.

As for letting the rest of the people leave the world in the painting to collect intelligence, let’s not talk about whether they should contact the unknown outside world rashly. Just who should go is a weird problem that cannot be solved - no matter how strong or weak there are, there are corresponding thorny problems.

And when her husband is away, she wants to fulfill her duties as a wife and queen as much as possible.

Therefore, Queen Victoria has been doing her best to maintain the operation of this small dynasty in the world of paintings.

Just as Angel, the Lord of Shadows, promised to all his people, this is a world as beautiful as a garden.

Food, water, shelter, everything is perfect. Even the climate is eternally warm and spring-like.

This was an unimaginable miracle for Mozo's previous life. But in this extraordinary world, although this is an incredible miracle, it seems very insignificant in the hands of Sequence Zero.

Time passes day after day, year after year. Out of fear of the outside world, people are increasingly content with the beautiful life in the painting world.

But the queen's heart became haggard and withered during the gradually long wait.

The queen's panic and restlessness due to the loss of her husband is a problem that can be easily seen by almost every citizen in the world of the painting.

So when the queen became more and more uneasy, the people who were more and more content with the beauty of the painting world also became uneasy.

Just as the people could easily see the Queen's uneasiness, the girl who could reveal the nature of Mozo's homelessness at a glance could also see it.

After Annie said this, she stopped reminiscing. He turned to look at Mozo who was silent and said:

"In order to allow those of us who were entrusted by Her Majesty Angel to continue to live peacefully, Her Majesty the Queen made an unimaginable decision. That was the beginning of everything today."

Mozuo no longer remained silent and raised his head and said:

"Queen Victoria - chose to sleep?"

"Yes, the queen's life is eternal, but for the king who has lost his god, eternal life is no longer a blessing but a curse and torture!"

"Her Majesty the Queen knows that if this continues, she will leave the world in the painting at all costs. So in order to avoid that moment coming, Her Majesty the Queen used her own abilities to weave a beautiful dream for herself that she will never wake up from!"

"We have no way of knowing what kind of dream Her Majesty put herself in. But since then, Her Majesty the Queen has really laughed when she fell asleep."

Anne couldn't help but smile knowingly when she recalled the Queen's smile when she was sleeping:

"That was the first time I saw Her Majesty the Queen smiling so happily since my Lord left. The time between this period was so long that I almost forgot what Her Majesty's real smile looked like."

"Is this why Queen Victoria has been sleeping so far? But why did everything happen now?"

Victoria is the king of the Lord of Shadows, and the king of the gods, in addition to his own path, can also have an additional adjacent path due to the original blessing and the protection of the gods.

Not all kings have achieved this, but there are not many such kings, because the gods will not tolerate their kings failing to achieve 'perfection'!

And Victoria, who is supported by Mozo, is naturally not among them.

So in addition to being a Sequence One of the Artist Path, Victoria is also a Sequence One of the Nightmare Path.

Victoria, who is both a real painter and the ultimate nightmare, is naturally capable of weaving a dream for herself that she will never wake up from.

And if this is just the case, then what about the fire that burned the world and the world in the painting that is now decaying and deserted?

The world in Mozzo’s paintings remains intact. So is there another problem?

Mozo seemed to have thought of something and said:

"After the death of the ancient god Stowe, his uniqueness has never appeared in the world. Could it be said?"

"Yes, the uniqueness of the ancient god Stowe floated into our painted world due to the law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics."

Extraordinary characteristics will not be silenced. They will spontaneously gather towards other extraordinary characteristics or qualified people.

This time may be longer than imagined, or it may be terrifyingly fast.

And the ancient god Stowe is the sequence zero of the nightmare path, during the final battle that marked the end of the age of gods. Only Victoria is left in Sequence One of the Nightmare Path. Of the other two copies, one is naturally with the ancient god Sto, and the other last copy is missing.

Therefore, after the fall of the ancient god Stowe, it is extremely normal for his ownerless uniqueness to drift into the world of the painting because Victoria was so close!

288 Atonement

"This is a problem that should have been discovered a long time ago, but those of us who don't even have Sequence Two, waited until the situation was irreversible before we realized the problem."

"At the beginning, it was just that the weather became erratic. Later, it turned into problems such as food shortages, contaminated water sources, etc. that should never occur."

"And the most terrifying thing is that even in forests without any large predators, deformed and powerful monsters appear."

"At this moment, most of us still think that the world in the painting left by His Majesty Ingres is unsustainable."

"Only a small number of extraordinary people like me, who are on the artist path, rely on the convenience of the same path to judge that it is not the world in the painting that has a problem. It is some other deeper problem."

"But because we couldn't give a solid reason, we wasted a lot of energy and time in vain attempts to repair the world in the painting that didn't need repairing when there was still hope of recovery."

"After we tried various methods to no avail, we made up our minds to awaken Her Majesty the Queen. It was only at this moment that we discovered the crux of the problem - the uniqueness of the nightmare path was hidden in the Queen's body In a dream.”

"Because of this, Your Majesty went from unwilling to wake up to unable to wake up."

Mozo shook his head and then frowned and asked:

"Why not try to wake Queen Victoria earlier?"

"Because at that time we were afraid that once the Queen woke up and looked at this garden world that was gradually becoming dilapidated, she would not want to repair it, but leave!"

"After living in the garden for too long, we begin to fear everything outside."

"Because of fear and selfishness, we lost the last chance. What a travesty!"

"That's why I always think that if we can have other angels, or a Sequence Two demigod, maybe we will find the source of the problem earlier, so that the uniqueness has not yet been combined with Her Majesty will deal with it when there is too much fusion."

Speaking of this, Annie suddenly said to Mozo out of curiosity:

"By the way, do you know the god-becoming ceremony of the Nightmare Path?"

Mozo nodded and said:

"Of course we know that Ancient God Stowe is not the orthodox ancient god directly created by the original. He is an ancient god who was guided to become a god because he received the appreciation and love of the original."

The god Stogo was not the eldest son but the second son. But no matter whether it was the eldest son or the second son, except for the dragons, they all chose shameful rebellion or silence at the last moment.

"Therefore, the god-making ceremony of the ancient god Stowe is not a secret. On the contrary, it is even common sense recorded in countless ancient scriptures to praise the original."

"Although it is not stated clearly, the ceremony of becoming a god in the nightmare path should be about giving up in a dream that you know is false but can't let go, right?"

Many people say that the Nightmare Path to Godhood Ceremony is the simplest, because you already know it is fake, so why can't you give up?

But in fact, this is the real difficulty - the dream that you know is false but still can't let go of, is it really something you can give up? Or is what you gave up really a dream that met the ritual conditions?

Even the ancient god Stowe, who had the original guidance at that time, failed three times before finally succeeding with the help of his eldest sons.

Such a luxurious support group is not to say unprecedented, but it must be unprecedented.

After hearing this, Anne crossed her arms and laughed at herself:

"But such a god who was deeply loved and blessed by the original one also chose to betray at the last moment. What a travesty, just like us."

"Fortunately, we are different from Ancient God Stan. Although we failed to live up to Her Majesty the Queen's sacrifice, we did not make any mistakes to the end."

Anne crossed her chest and turned to look at the palace and said:

"Because Her Majesty the Queen's self-slumber accidentally complied with the godhood ceremony of the Nightmare Path, Her Majesty the Queen became more and more integrated with her uniqueness during her long sleep. This should be a good thing."

"Because our Queen has the hope of becoming a god. But this is also a huge bad thing, because Her Majesty the Queen is still the King of Angels!"

Theoretically, dual-path extraordinary beings cannot exist. The only exceptions are the kings because they have the original charter and the blessing of the gods.
