«No need to fear, my child. In truth, this was nothing but a small disturbance of a parallel world» lui dit paisiblement la vieille dame.
«A small disturbance ?» demanda .
«Indeed, when you were six years old, a parallel world was destroyed within the Apocalypse. The impact resulting from that destruction caused a faint disturbance in our reality, resulting in——- the experience of a few people being different from others»
«Because what they experienced was the events in that moment of the parallel world, and not what was happening in our reality ?»
«That is exactly it» répondit la vieille dame.
médita longuement avant de reprendre la parole : «In my world, there was once a famous figure who was believed to have died in a certain year, but he was actually still alive. When he truly passed on, it caused a great disturbance——– as everyone found out that their memories were incorrect»
«And also, whenever a large number of people try to recall the same event they went through together, there were always a few whose memories were completely different from everyone else's»
The old lady praised him: «That is so, these are nothing but very minute fluctuations caused by the destruction of parallel worlds, there is no need to pay much attention to them»
«Then what should I pay attention to ?» demanda .
«What comes after the destruction of those parallel worlds» la voix de la vieille dame devint lentement plus basse : «In truth, what we need to look out for the most are things that came from parallel worlds»
Elle continua d'expliquer : «When a parallel world is destroyed, there is always a small chance for things to stray off from the 'parallel' Law and arrive into our reality»
«Some of them are entities who escaped from the Apocalypse»
«An entity who was able to survive to the very last moment must either be the strongest and greatest individual, or race. That is why when a parallel world is destroyed and all of their Laws collapsed, these individuals or races who are no longer bound by the Laws of their own parallel worlds could escape into our reality»
«This was still a relatively decent outcome, but there is another more terrifying outcome»
À ce stade, la vieille dame ne put s'empêcher de pousser un profond soupir.
insista : «What is that ?»
The old lady didn't answer him straight away and asked: «An Apocalypse that could completely destroy a parallel world, can you understand how terrifying it is ?»
réfléchit un instant et acquiesça.
S'il existait une calamité capable de détruire l'intégralité des 900 millions de Couches Mondiales, l'Abîme Éternel, même la brume de l'espace-temps et le fleuve, ainsi que tous les êtres vivants, cette calamité serait sûrement terrifiante au point d'être impossible à résister.
demanda hésitamment : «But that is an Apocalypse of a parallel world, it wouldn't show up in our reality as well—— would it ?»
«Of course, an Apocalypse would not leave its original reality on its own»
The old lady's tone suddenly became a lot more chilling: «But after a parallel world is destroyed, its corpse can potentially bring a calamity of the Apocalypse into our reality»
marmonna, terrifié : «If a calamity capable of destroying an entire parallel world arrives, wouldn't that mean our reality would also be destroyed ?»
The old lady shook her head: «For the corpse of a parallel world and the Apocalyptic calamity it carries, it is extremely difficult to turn from a 'parallel' state to an 'arrived' state, that would cause it to use up a majority of its power»
«Those calamities would be greatly weakened by the time they arrive in our reality, so they do not affect us too greatly—– under normal circumstances»
«Under normal circumstances…» répéta .
The old lady smiled and continued: «You have already run into the Man Killer Fiends and Man Eater Fiends, yes ?»
«I did»
«That was originally an Apocalypse from a parallel world. In that destroyed parallel world, there was not only the Man Eater and Man Killer forms, but rather over 1000 different mutated forms, some of which were simply irresistible and directly wiped out the infinite worlds»
«Although this Apocalyptic calamity managed to make it to our reality, it has already used up its power, leaving only the two forms of Man Eater Fiend and Man Killer Fiend»
«That's why I was able to go against them» ajouta .
«Correct»
«Then the Game of Eternal——»
«Was also an infinitely weakened Apocalyptic calamity. Originally, it would force all living beings to participate»
«Other than that, a corpse of a parallel world can also affect our reality in various ways, like what I told you before, many people experienced different things at the same time»
«What is the biggest threat ?» demanda abruptement .
The old lady looked at him and went silent for a while.
aussi garda le silence.
En effet.
C'était « sous des circonstances normales ».
Tout était bien plus facile « sous des circonstances normales ».
Mais en dehors des circonstances normales, il y avait aussi des circonstances soudaines, inconnues, imprévisibles et insondables.
The old lady suddenly smiled, looked up at him, and said: «You've already matured, even within the 900 million World Layers, you can be already be considered a Lord, a person who can take up and take care of your own responsibilities, so you should indeed know a bit of the truth»
Elle agita la main dans le vide de l'espace.
Le ciel, le sol, les gratte-ciel, la piscine, l'écran et les gens disparurent tous.
À la place, la scène autour d'eux fut remplacée par un espace sombre et lugubre.
la regarda, confus.
Elle expliqua : «This is the final moment of the Earth Creator's life, I hope that you will take a look»
se tourna alors vers le vide infini.
Une nébuleuse lumineuse et colorée qui recouvrait un flux liquide gris et tumultueux se déplaçait rapidement vers une certaine direction.
put en sentir la présence familière.
En effet, c'était le Créateur de la Terre.
Il s'était transformé en nébuleuse pour se diriger vers une porte géante en bronze qui apparut juste devant eux.
Cette porte était si gigantesque que même la nébuleuse semblait minuscule.
Cette scène avait déjà été dézoomée à l'infini par la vieille dame pour que puisse la voir dans son ensemble, sinon il n'aurait probablement pas compris ce qui se passait même s'il avait été directement sur place.
La nébuleuse s'arrêta devant la porte, se transforma en un géant entouré de gaz gris dérivant, et tenta de pousser les portes de bronze.
Le Créateur de la Terre !
Mais dès qu'il toucha la porte de bronze, il poussa un profond soupir, comme s'il découvrait quelque chose.
« So that is why… I had thought that this vision was too ridiculous to be true, but it turns out to have happened in the Age of Old, everything makes sense to me now »
Le gaz gris dérivant autour du Créateur de la Terre commença à disparaître comme s'il était effacé comme un dessin sur du papier.
S'ensuivirent ses jambes qui se mirent aussi à se briser en fines particules de poussière qui se dispersèrent dans le vide de l'espace et disparurent sans laisser de trace.
Le corps entier du Créateur de la Terre commença à s'effondrer et à disparaître.
Au tout dernier moment, il lança une étoile scintillante de sa main et hurla : « Undo ! »
Dès que l'étoile entendit le cri, elle traversa l'obscurité du vide vers un monde infiniment lointain.
The Earth Creator looked towards the old lady and spoke in a heavy voice: « I know you can definitely see this, my destiny has come to an end, I leave the rest to you »
Il marmonna enfin : « Death is the only path that living beings can take, and I am the first to go »
Après avoir déclaré cela, il disparut complètement devant la porte de bronze.
The old lady waved her hand again.
The entire scene vanished again.
constata qu'il était revenu, avec la vieille dame, au palais luxueux sans personne autour d'eux.
«Why did it suddenly die ?» demanda d'une voix grave.
The old lady took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of the eyes: «It could not be helped, this was the most terrifying aspect of a parallel world——– Fate Corrosion»
«What is Fate Corrosion ?»
«As you have seen by yourself, when a parallel world is destroyed, it will cause mistakes to occur in our reality. This is also a kind of Fate Corrosion»
«But you said that this situation can be ignored»
«Indeed, when the mistakes are too insignificant, we can simply ignore them. But there is a certain situation that far surpasses what we are able to deal with»
«When parallel worlds that are infinitely more powerful than we are gets destroyed and enter our reality, it would be able to completely change the fate of everyone in our reality»
«Like the Earth Creator. In this reality of ours, it was alive and well, but a parallel world that had corroded our reality existed near that bronze gate»
«This parallel world was extremely powerful, it desperately wrestled against the Apocalyptic calamity, transcended the 'parallel' Law, fell into our Eternal Abyss and drifted around the Reality Gate»
«When any living being in our reality approached the Reality Gate, their Fate would be assimilated and corroded by that parallel world»
garda un court silence avant de parler : «You mean that within that parallel world because the Earth Creator was already dead and when the Earth Creator of our reality approached, it was forced to accept that fate as well ?»
«That is so, even an entity as powerful as it was could not resist against this fate»
ne put l'accepter : «Wait a minute, I can't comprehend this at all. How is it possible that a powerful entity like it succumbed to an indistinct and immaterial concept like fate ?»
«Child, this was a determined fate of an entire parallel world, it is not something a single person can go again, not even I can do such a thing» la vieille dame soupira profondément.
«Which means, our Eternal Abyss is currently enduring the fate brought about by that powerful parallel world as well as its remnant Apocalypses ?»
«That is indeed so, child, you are very sharp, as expected of the one that the Earth Creator thought highly of» la vieille dame le loua joyeusement.
Elle sortit une étoile brillante, affichant une expression de solennité et de prudence.
«Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind are the four Saint Pillars of any world, each of them is as indispensable as the others. Take this, child, starting from today, you are the new Saint Pillar of the Earth»
