MTL - For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King (1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King)-Chapter 260 flaw

   "How about it, do you feel very subversive?"

After    finished speaking, the keeper stopped with great interest and tried to find the shocked expression on the other's face.

   For a moon monster whose authority is "secret", the moment when it breaks the taboo of "secret keeping" is the moment when its power is at its highest. The more shocked the other party is, the more powerful he will be.

   "So, you mean William Kane is the missing eighth Holy Spirit?"

  The expression on Greene's face stiffened a little at first, and then he confirmed with a tone of inquiry.

   "It is so, mortal."

   The Secret Keeper said with a little interest, at this moment it already hopes that it can enjoy the soul of the other party in advance.

   "But... isn't that common sense?"

   For the first time, it was not because of the presiding judge's prompt, but because of his own doubts, Green said.

"what?"

  …

   After all, it was kept in that book, and followed me through a thousand and eight years...

   Hearing William here through the holy emblem thought so.

   The keeper's perception of time, just like the self who had just passed through, still stayed more than a thousand years ago. I don't know that William Kane's name has been promoted to the Eighth Holy Spirit Altar by the Riel Empire.

   In other words, the secret it has kept has been deactivated for more than a thousand years.

   However, the secret that the other party said can indeed bring some inspiration to William.

  My speciality as a player in the past seems to be not ignorant to those high-ranking moon monsters, but they have always been attributed to the ability of the "Eighth Holy Spirit".

   He remembered that Valk had also said that he wanted to see himself show him more "possibilities".

  According to the religious books that William has read, the authority symbolized by the eighth Holy Spirit "The Hermit" is the spirituality hidden in the hearts of all beings, the exploration and curiosity about the unknown, and the real driving force behind the creation of the world.

   He didn't pay too much attention to these symbols before, after all, every religion will definitely blow the gods they believe in in a ruthless direction. But now it seems that if the Eighth Holy Spirit exists based on the speciality of the player, it seems to make some sense.

  I also thought about it myself, if he traveled to the game world in the computer, it must be the player who opened the game called "End Watcher" that made this world exist. And the history of this world, at least the time line experienced by players throughout the game process, is indeed shaped by their own choices.

   Or to put it another way, if you think that the developer of the game is the Seven Holy Spirits, then there seems to be no problem calling the player the Eighth Holy Spirit.

In retrospect, the mission I completed in the past about the origin of the Eighth Holy Spirit had some Meta (Note*) elements in it—at the end of the mission, the scholar who proposed the "Eighth Holy Spirit Theory" would suggest that the player would It is a "hermit" hidden in the character's mind. The body is outside the world, and the distraction "falls" in the character to turn the tide.

   "But after transmigrating into my own character, I can't read the archives or adjust the console..."

   William muttered, but stopped halfway through.

   "So, is this the essence of the Eighth Holy Spirit Throne?"

  …

   "That...can you tell the last secret?"

   Looking at the Secret Keeper who seemed to be hit hard for some reason, Green asked cautiously.

   "So everyone in the Vic Continent knows about it..."

   The keeper continued to mutter to himself absentmindedly. Seeing that the other party still did not seem to recover, Green had to increase his voice and ask again:

   "Keeper, uh... sir? Can you tell me the secret about the birth of Ravenwood's mother now?"

   The other party came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream. It looked at Green and asked with vigilance:

   "Nowadays, Ravenwood is still an endless forest, right? Moreover, their beliefs are still the old gods named 'Sacred Tree Mother' and 'Father of Wilderness', right?"

  Green nodded, thinking, isn't this nonsense?

"That's good…"

   The Secret Keeper sighed in relief when he saw the other party nodding:

   "Then this secret is worth telling... Mortals, do you know that among the kings of nothingness, there is a difference between birth and rebirth?"

  +Nodding directly+

   Green, who was going to ask what that meant, heard the presiding judge's voice echoing in his soul the next second.

   So, he nodded reflexively.

"It saves time to make a deal with you... Every king who is born again, after being promoted from a mortal to a king of nothingness, the first thing to do is to completely erase his own history from this world. , sublimates that piece of history into a part of his own moon realm.

"In this way, they will lose their weaknesses on the timeline and become completely immortal. And this is also in the historical records of mortals. It is difficult to find information about those reborn kings who were once mortals. Walk in the traces of the present world."

   said the Keeper of Secrets, who had recovered from his previous loss.

"But His Royal Highness Camilla, the rotten lady, didn't make such a choice. Maybe it was because he wanted to plan ahead for the future competition for the 'right of discipline' in the present world, or maybe it was because his promotion ceremony was manipulated, so that he could not take that time with him. To the Moon Realm... All in all, the final outcome is that two time lines appeared in parallel in Ravenwood, leaving a very long scar on the time of this world. Let me think about it, by the time I was sealed, it was already It lasted about four thousand years."

   In other words, it has been going on for more than five thousand years.

  William thought, and then he used [Soul Voice] to let Green continue to ask questions.

   "Wouldn't there be an irreparable contradiction after such a long time fragmentation?"

   Green parrot asked.

"Contradiction? Maybe there is, but the mortal body of Lady Hungry and Rot, that is, the corpse that turned into a 'world tree', has influenced the tradition of the entire forest elves, making them stay in the hunting civilization. degree. Without the need for large-scale development of agriculture, there would be no precise calendar, and without it, their perception of time would come only from untrustworthy ambiguous memories."

   Having said this, a stiff smile appeared on the face of the Secret Keeper.

   "This will greatly reduce the cluttered records of time fragmentation."

   As long as there is no historical record, there will be no historical contradiction.

   Having said that, the Secret Keeper smiled a little, and then continued:

"A period of time is probably the time line that you can recognize. The forest elves live in harmony with the forest, mixed with the culture of eating corpses. The other period is the time line that He imitated with countless corpses. Countless undead pretended to be alive and went to corruption with the whole dead forest."

  +Ask it, under what circumstances would these two timelines get confused with each other+

  William recalled his previous glimpse of another timeline.

   For this question, the keeper brought up an irrelevant topic:

   "You know that the forest elves will 'tree form' when they get old, right? Then you know how those tree elves perceive the outside world?"

  Green shook his head.

   "Those forest elves can dream."

   The Keeper replied.

"What's the meaning?"

   "In that dream, they were in another Ravenwood. Her Highness the Lady of Hungering and Rot has instilled false memories into those aging souls, allowing them to start another life with a new identity on the other side."

  + ask it what does this have to do with the confusion between the two timelines? +

  Green immediately repeated the presiding judge's question.

   "If someone perceives that his memory may be false, then he may bring his corrupt body into the time on your side. In this way, the two different periods of time are confused."

  …

   "Disaster!!"

   The moment the thick and heavy book was re-closed, the angry roar of the keepers stopped abruptly.

   Green, who was covered in cold sweat, looked at the presiding judge who grabbed his arm tightly and brought him directly from the book. It took several seconds before he realized that he could breathe.

   "It just said..."

   "One day I will take your soul into my hands."

  William helped him finish the second half of the sentence.

  After obtaining the information he wanted, William went directly to fish out the dean of the Blackwater Austrian Law School.

   The Secret Keeper who realized that he was being tricked immediately shouted angrily, it would definitely take Green's soul back.

  Why don't you say two harsh words to yourself?

  Green opened his mouth to ask something, and a blazing heat immediately came from his arm, and the brand that had disappeared before reappeared there.

   "The brand of keeping secrets, the keepers use this to mark their souls to be tortured in the future."

  William looked at the chain-shaped brand on the opponent's arm and said so.

   Hearing his calm tone, Green immediately asked anxiously:

   "Then can you help me remove this brand?"

  In any case, it is not a pleasant thing to have one's soul remembered by a demon general.

   In this regard, William shook his head.

   "I can't do this. But you don't have to worry too much. The keepers have no ability to escape from this book. The other party's harsh words were just bluffing."

"but…"

   "The existence of the Moon Realm is like this. Once they are remembered by them, there is no way to get rid of it."

  William said, the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up.

"So, the real way to get rid of them is to directly erase their existence. Don't worry, when I find the trial eleven corresponding to the forbidden sage, I will directly erase the existence of the other party. At that time, the brand on your hand will naturally disappear."

   William said so, but it wasn't just for Green.

   also speaks to himself.

  Lady Hungry and Rot left the timeline of her birth in the present world. It is indeed possible for him to directly pull the entire Ravenwood area into her own moon realm, and use this as an opportunity to start eroding the entire present world.

   But at the same time, his history as a mortal was exposed, leaving a fatal flaw for his immortal existence.

   This gave him the possibility to inflict heavy damage or even kill the Void King.

   "I had a headache before and couldn't find a way to stop the ritual, isn't this the way to come?"
