The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 298: Worm’s War Letter
When Annan heard this, his heart moved.
He suddenly thought of the chariot driver.
The chariot driver seemed to have died suddenly while transporting Sisyphus to the world of light.
If that "on the way" refers to the [Gate of Worms and Cicadas]...
"——Is this how the worm killed the chariot driver?"
Annan figured everything out in an instant.
In this way, everything will make sense——
It was Worm who realized what he could do after gaining the wisdom of "Black Annan".
The worm indeed crossed the timeline and killed the chariot driver through the power of cause and effect driven by the extremely long history from the future to the past.
But not the newborn worm relies on the "placenta" connection to attack the past from the time of its birth. Because the worms of that period did not have that kind of intelligence, nor did they have that kind of power.
Moreover, the Skywheel Driver was not originally affected by the worm.
Because gods who transcend the first history have the protection of the timeline itself, as long as their sublimation is completed, they can exist in the present, past and future at the same time. Even if the god's grandparents were killed in the past, it would no longer be able to affect the god's existence.
The Sky Crane has the ability to trace back from the present to the future - the so-called "destiny is the rut of the Sky Crane".
The chariot driver can easily see the future and decide which direction the world will lead... because she is the one driving the chariot.
The gods are travelers in chariots who can guess the direction of fate; mortals are just insects and ants on the wheel. Only after fate has passed can they realize that it is fate itself.
But this also means that when Tianche Yushou uses this method to contact the future.
In the future, the worm that has gained the wisdom and memory of "Black Annan" also comes into contact with the past chariot driver in this way.
She has actually seen the end of the future.
In other words, the Skywheel Driver tried to glimpse the future on the way to sublimation... and in this way, he saw the worm guarding the end. The Sky Chariot driver who was in the process of sublimation did not have the power to resist the worm, so she was killed by the worm without any resistance.
——To put it simply, it was that when the Sky Train driver was driving, he was distracted and took a look outside.
At this moment, the train crashed.
From the day of Sisyphus's ascension to Annan's present and one hundred and eighty-six years into the future - such a long distance.
The Sky Crane and the Shadow Sky Crane started from two stages - they collided at full speed under the blessing of historical inertia, and were strongly interfered by the other party's power. So the worm will "die in the future" and the chariot driver will "die in the past".
The worm has known the route of the crane from the very beginning, and starting from the future one hundred and eighty-six years later, it goes in the opposite direction and moves forward at full speed.
...This tragedy is indeed related to Sisyphus.
But He is just an inducer.
Because of the priesthood of "justice", the driver of the crane is worried and looks to the future.
——Because of Sisyphus, the chariot driver decided to look to the future; because the chariot driver looked to the future in the way of sublimation, she was "hit to death" by the worm; and because of the death of the chariot driver, today's Annan was summoned to this world by Miss Good Luck as a sky carriage; because Annan also tried to peek into the [Gateway of Worms and Cicadas], his wisdom and memory were stolen by worms; and it was through this that Annan was Only with wisdom and memory did he decide to take such a move and kill the chariot driver from the future.
A perfect closed loop that can only be realized with the existence of Annan.
A "grandfather paradox".
One of the essences of the existence of worms is [paradox]. All rituals that rely on paradox to achieve "infinity" have the participation of worms.
...Is this also a part of fate?
"Destiny is a rut in the sky."
Fufu looked at Annan and smiled calmly and gently: "And since you are here and have heard about His Majesty's new abilities, you have become His Majesty's new anchor. Unless you - and you."
Fu Fu raised his orchid finger, pointed at the players behind Annan in the distance, and said slowly and softly in a feminine tone: "Die here with me. Otherwise, Your Majesty will always have this ability.
"What does this mean?
"From now on, as long as the 'Crane' still exists, the Crane will never be used. Otherwise, all ascendants will die the moment before completing their ascension... This is the 'Crane Paradox'.
"This world is doomed to destruction from now on. Because the new sky carriage is born, but it seems as if it has not been born... Without a new living pillar to anchor the truth, the world will gradually move towards chaos."
The corners of his mouth raised slightly: "And all of this was done by me.
"It's just because I said these few words here and now..."
Annan looked at Fu Fu with some pity.
——Fu Fu must not know yet.
What he said is just a pretext. This is to give Annan a "complementary" explanation.
From the very beginning, it was destined that Annan must defeat the worm.
Otherwise, the world will be destroyed no matter what; and if Annan defeats the worm, then this desperate situation will collapse on its own.
Fufu is indeed a smart man, but his scope is too small.
He didn't even realize...why the worm asked him to kill him.
It's not that the worm thinks that Fufu can really kill him.
But because Worm predicted that Fufu would say these words at this moment, allowing Annan to "understand" the truth about "the death of the chariot driver."
As a result, Annan must go to the future.
——This is a declaration of war.
Because Annan will realize that... the moment he ascends in the "past", he will be directly hit to death by a worm speeding from the future. The future that Annan sees is so shallow that he does not have the power to resist the worm that is about to collide with the hand of the sky chariot.
And it won't work if you travel to the future of the worm.
Because that means that the crane and the worm have become two unrelated entities. The crane cannot affect the worm, and the worm cannot affect the crane.
The worm is eager to kill Annan, and Annan also hopes to end the existence of the worm.
There is only one moment for a fair duel.
That is, "that year" when the worm existed.
Annan must go to that year to ascend. At the moment when the worm had no "starting inertia", he and Annan collided at zero distance.
——It was a fight to the death.
The moment when the sky wheel completes its ascension, it is the moment when it does not have all the abilities; it is also the moment when the worm cannot use the power of history's cause and effect to disrupt Annan's ascension.
It's like two people holding a revolver and walking backwards on a single-plank bridge.
...This is something that a worm with only "animal nature" would never do. Because the worms at that time only had the desire to survive of beasts.
But now the worm has the personality and pride of Black Annan.
He knew that Annan would definitely accept the challenge.
——Indeed.
"I accept your letter of challenge."
Annan narrowed his eyes and spoke words that Fufu couldn't understand.
Because he is not talking to Fufu~IndoMTL.com~ but looking at the worm in the future.
Even if Annan's current body is mortal... he can't see the future at all.
But he believed that the worm must have seen all this. Got my own response.
In the depths of Annan's pupils, a god-like brilliance shone.
When Annan looked at Fufu again, Fufu felt palpitations in his heart for a moment - if he still had a heart.
Fufu seemed to see the shadow of "that majesty" in Annan.
Annan declared: "Then it's time for you to exit here."
