Chapter 457 I Want to Be, Tianche Yushou
Annan just shook his head silently.
"I can't deny your doubt."
He said softly: "But your doubts are meaningless.
"Because you have no evidence, no way to verify it, and no way to change it. This is something beyond your knowledge, and all questions raised are meaningless."
This is like a farmer who has never been exposed to scientific knowledge and suddenly intends to study the origin of the universe and perpetual motion machines.
"You think that all this is doomed, which is actually guessing that you are living in a grand nightmare. It's just that you can't perceive the truth of this nightmare, and you can't see through its rules or escape from it."
And Vladimir, the winter defiant, did not object to this statement.
Instead, he nodded, holding the cane with both hands in front of him, and said calmly: "That's right.
"I am not a wizard of the Prophet School, nor do I understand the rituals of the realm of destiny. What I have learned is what others have told me. I don't fully understand, let alone fully believe.
"I'm like a fanatic thinking that 'reality is a nightmare'. I don't know why I came here, and I don't even know if the world I live in is real."
The young winter-defying man looked at Annan and said slowly, "But suppose there is a [protagonist] in this nightmare.
"—Then it must be you, Annan."
"...Do you want to kill me to end this nightmare just because of this conjecture?"
Annan looked at Vladimir calmly.
He sneered, and stepped back slowly: "If this world is really a nightmare, and I'm really the protagonist of the nightmare...then if you kill me, you won't be able to jump out of it, it will only destroy the world.
"Or—if everything is predestined, how can you judge that killing me is not a part of fate? Just like what the old man who divination for you said..."
"—Please do not act rashly, Your Majesty."
When Annan just wanted to move.
Vladimir immediately raised his voice and interrupted him: "I still have some words, I hope you can listen to them. I don't want to use elements to attack you again... I'm not sure if the remaining light on your body can still Rehabilitate you from that injury."
Hearing this, Annan understood something.
"...you attacked me in the first place just to make me stop and listen to you?"
Compared with Vladimir, he is undoubtedly the weaker side.
Then if you want to win, I'm afraid there is only a sneak attack.
Vladimir was worried that he would suddenly attack him while he was talking... that's why he took the shot early and slightly injured himself.
"That's right."
The corner of Vladimir's mouth raised slightly: "I also watched you grow up, Your Majesty. Of course I want to... chat with you again."
"……Ah."
Annan sneered, and indeed stopped.
It is indeed not a smart move to rush to war with Vladimir.
——Because he really can't beat it.
He has just finished fighting the dragon Nicholas, and he has a considerable load to transform into a dragon. He has even used up his [Brilliant Sword] once a day,
No extra silver coins on hand.
Right now, he can't even change a sword.
Whether it is using a brilliant sword, restraining "brilliance" to form a sword, or using silver coins to use the magical "sharp thing"...it is impossible.
The only means he has to turn things around is the mind control brought by the "Crazy Heart", which has been used once by [Three Sirens].
As long as Vladimir has not stepped into the stage of truth, then he should not be able to resist this mental control.
But that ability is not instant.
Annan, who has transformed into a dragon, can release it in the form of light in a short period of time. But if you are holding a scepter, you must at least hit the opponent with the scepter, or let the opponent stare at the scepter for a few seconds.
Annan was waiting for his only chance.
Since Vladimir wants to chat... it's better to chat with him more.
At worst, it can delay for a while.
If you're lucky, you might be able to chat with him to death—probably.
However, it is also possible to say that the other party becomes angry from embarrassment, and directly summons his own fist to express the possibility of attacking Annan...
"Your Majesty, what you just said is right. I really don't know what will happen to the world after I kill you. I'm not sure whether you can really change the fate of others."
Vladimir continued: "After all, according to the prophecy, I did kill you in the end—and if I was killed by you in the end, it must be Tianche that changed this fate."
"So what are you struggling with?"
Annan asked calmly.
The voice of the Winter Reverser gradually became cold: "I'm not struggling. I'm just thinking...whether all the misfortunes I've experienced so far are also due to this predestined fate?"
"Have you started to complain about the injustice in this world?"
"No. If it's really me who is too weak to overcome the crisis, then I really can't blame other people. But because of various 'coincidences', the crisis came early when I couldn't resist it, and it turned from a crisis to a tragedy.
"And this is destiny—a determined destiny. Anything that can overcome destiny as long as you work hard...is all false. Destiny has already been determined, and even whether you choose to work hard and to what extent is only the choice of fate." One ring."
Vladimir looked deeply at Annan: "As we all know, destiny is the rut of the sky. In other words, the sky has the possibility to change the determined destiny. Even when you are weak, in the face of an irresistible crisis, can always resolve it...
"—Then why am I not a skycar?"
He questioned from the bottom of his heart: "Why am I not the 'protagonist' of this world? Why is it that only Tianche has the ability to change destiny?"
Vladimir smiled quietly.
His lips raised quietly, split like a new moon—as if he was laughing at something, but he didn't make a sound after all.
"I can't be the sky cart, but I think... I can probably control the sky cart. Since [fate is the track of the sky cart], as long as you control the direction of the sky cart, it is equivalent to controlling fate."
Hearing this, Annan's heart suddenly tightened.
He suddenly had a premonition.
Next, he should hear what Vladimir really wanted to tell him.
"Because I desperately want to see fate...the worm gave me this ability."
He murmured in a low voice: "I did see it."
Those jewel-like eyes shone brightly.
"So I saw it—the old Viscount of Roseburg, he was not killed by you, but he successfully completed his rebirth ceremony... But Denton, the dream stealer, passed the ceremony and converted the original His fragments of truth were thrown upon the old Viscount.
"—and he died. His fate was indeed changed."
Vladimir said calmly: "And this plan, this method, I gave him. He is my first experimental subject.
"The original Solonik would die in the ground... No matter when, Selicia is just his mask, he is always Solonik. But after he got involved with you, he completely became Sely Sia, and survived - I hoped to correct this fate, but when I tried to kill her, I was interrupted.
"Solonic will not attach so many elements to 'death', he will not try to find value in 'death'. When I realized that he had become Celesia. I gave up killing She, and left...
"—You have changed his fate. He can no longer die as Thoronik...or, the old Thoronik has been killed by you.
"His Royal Highness Dmitri's original fate was doomed to a lifetime of misfortune. But you reversed his fate... and saved his daughter.
"His Royal Highness Maria would have died when she was thirty-two years old. And her current fate has become blurred..."
He made a deep voice: "Then, why not me? Why was it they who were turned around instead of me?"
"Because you betrayed me."
Annan stared at him and replied calmly, "Because you are my enemy now."
"Why is your enemy doomed to misfortune? Could it be that just by being your enemy, you will become the enemy of the world?"
Vladimir looked up.
He didn't look at Annan, but looked up at the sky.
He asked word by word: "Why is this?"
Of course, there was no response.
But he didn't wait either.
"That's what I want. I want to be your enemy, and then defeat you—I just want to be your enemy, and then prove that you can't change my destiny... Or, I can change my destiny myself."
Vladimir just said to himself: "If this is the so-called fate-if you knock down the unfortunate fate of others and then stand on it, it is a rut..."
He looked at Annan again.
But he was not looking at Annan, but at something behind Annan.
"Then I won't make a crane. It doesn't matter if the mirror or something is inappropriate.
"I'm going to be—the Sky Chariot Driver."
He said word by word: "I want to hold the power to rewrite the fate of others in my hands."
