The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 314: The silent guardian
That's a very ordinary sound.
It is neither hoarse nor crisp...it is consistent with the impression given by St. Peter, giving people a calm voice.
But the moment the sound sounded.
Those words were like sharp blades and speeding magic bullets, shooting into the hearts of everyone present.
And carved a deep track on the road to their "destiny" that they have not yet experienced. If there is no other influence, they will naturally fall into this changed future.
Executives and dignitaries, saints and gods from various countries, as well as the group of players who have the best relationship with Annan——
And destiny is a treacherous road.
As the controller of the Book of Heavenly Wheels, Annan clearly felt that the fate of all those who heard St. Peter's words had an extra line between them and himself.
The newly condensed threads of fate are linked to each other, forming a dense spider web.
Of course, this power is not used to affect Annan's own destiny.
——Even the power of a saint cannot change Annan's "destiny". Because destiny is a contingency, Annan has absolute suppression and priority in this field.
In fact, although St. Peter's words were spoken to Annan...but in fact, the fate of all the guests who came to the wedding who heard these words was changed. The overflowing power of truth will also spread out through this, along the network of relationships between people, until it changes the entire world.
Just saying one word instantly changed the future of the entire world.
Even by the standards of a saint, this power is too powerful...
"...Is this the reason why you haven't spoken for more than 120 years?"
Annan's tone subconsciously became more respectful.
And this "silent man" just returned to silence again, lowering his eyes without saying a word.
His appearance began to age at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The original appearance of someone in his early twenties has aged twenty or thirty years in the blink of an eye. Clear crow's feet have appeared at the corners of his eyes, and shallow nasolabial folds have appeared on his face. The originally clear pupils began to become cloudy.
He didn't express his position, argue, or explain. He just nodded slightly to Annan, then silently retreated to a corner and sat down. It was as if the image of him talking just now was just an illusion.
"You are right, Annan."
What Annan didn't expect was that the person who answered his question was the old grandmother standing aside.
She sighed softly: "This is the reason why Peter has been silent for a full hundred and twenty years.
"He is accumulating his own power - using the power of 'honesty' that has lasted for 120 years at the most critical moment."
"What exactly does 'honest skull' mean?"
Annan asked in a low voice.
He also knew the experience of this "silent man."
Since one hundred and twenty years ago, when Pope Peter obtained the holy bones, he fell into silence.
For more than a hundred years, he has not spoken, expressed his position, or entertained. He never prayed in front of anyone and never held any religious activities. Even for holidays and his own birthday, no one has ever seen him celebrating.
"He is not completely 'speechless', he has become a pure mute."
The old grandmother explained: "In the Purity Hall and at the cardinal meeting in Bode, he will still express his position - for example, when his secretary summarizes the content of the meeting and asks him, 'Do you agree? 'When asked, he would always give a brief answer of 'good' or 'not good yet'.
"He can still listen and express his opinion on the matter - not what he thinks about it, but what they should do. Beyond that, he doesn't judge anything. Conclusion.
“This is precisely because the power of [honesty] contained in the Honest Skull can easily reverse the past and the future.
"However, there is no second option to 'honesty'. Even if there is the slightest falsehood or the slightest malice, it cannot be called honesty - the so-called [honesty], at the request of the Holy Skeleton, is him Your behavior must be true to your heart on the premise of being loyal to your good heart.
"The sacred contract he announced is [I will never speak untruths]. This is why those ignorant people ridiculed him as the 'Silent Saint'..."
The old grandmother said softly: "But in fact, anything he said can only be regarded as the truth.
"Because for him, there is only one possibility for everything he says, and that is [truth]. Even lies can come true...the price is his own soul.
"The 'skull' is the part related to the eyes, expression, tongue, teeth, and brain. This holy skeleton can be activated at the cost of igniting his soul, continuously consuming the power of liquid truth accumulated in his brain, Change the history of the past and the destiny of the future. As long as it is not the reality 'in front of you', but the 'past' and 'future' that have not yet been noticed, everything can become reality as he wishes.
"It can be said that this is a similar ability to the 'Fourth Theory of History'. But the Fourth Theory of History describes the history of imaginary numbers - the Fourth History, and he can directly enter the Fourth History to modify the First History. The front and back ends of history.
"This seems to be an omnipotent power that can modify everything. If you accumulate enough power, you can even use it to obliterate younger gods - gods are creatures that exist in the second history, even if you use time Paradoxes cannot be erased. But [Honest Skull] can do it.
"This is also the reason why the first generation of honest saints realized that they would never become gods. But the skull of honesty also has a huge limit - that is the restriction imposed by the honest saint himself. That is the saint of this generation. , every time I use this ability, I don’t know whether I can successfully complete the twist, nor do I know what the past and the future will look like after being twisted by myself.
“If the reversal is successful, people will not be able to realize that he has lied at all. But if the truth and soul he has stored are not enough to complete the reversal, then this act of distorting history and the future will fail.
"But this failure will not cause him to die immediately. Instead, it will cause the part of the past and future that he reversed to make an irreconcilable mistake.
"If he said, 'The Elf Empire does not exist,' then people will no longer be able to dig up any evidence to prove the existence of the Elf Empire, and everyone who remembers the Elf Empire will forget it.
"But if people realize through logical means, without relying on direct evidence, that there are any errors in this blank history...then his words will become exposed lies. There is no need to make it public, as long as someone He clearly realized that what he said was a lie and there was evidence, so Peter would die for violating the Holy Covenant.
"Similarly, if the power he has accumulated is not enough to complete this lie, then there will still be some people whose memories cannot be erased, some records and relics that cannot be erased, and there is a possibility that this lie will be discovered and exposed. It's even bigger. It's also easier for him to die for violating the sacred covenant."
——The moment when Saint Peter obtained the [Skull of Honesty].
Peter realized the horror of this power.
He must not use this power arbitrarily, because it will cause great chaos. A bad lie is bound to be covered up by more lies...either you tell a big lie that cannot be falsified, or you never lie at all.
But Peter believed that using this power to modify the past would require more effort than changing the future.
Then, if he wants to use this power to do something, it is to erase a certain mistake or lead to a certain future at an important node related to the survival of the world.
Even if the power he has accumulated is not enough to completely and completely complete this lie... But as long as he completes part of it, it will be relieved.
——That's something only he can do.
Because of this, he made up his mind to never use the holy bones unless necessary.
Not only that... he must also ensure his own survival. Because he didn't know what kind of tatters the world would become if this holy skeleton fell into the hands of evil people.
It can even be said that as long as this holy skeleton is not used for evil, he is already protecting the world.
Therefore, even though he was insulted and ridiculed by people, Peter never thought of defending himself.
He never thought about proving anything for himself, nor did he give any explanation... Only a very small number of ancients knew what he was carrying.
Even as a god, the old grandmother had respect for St. Peter's perseverance.
"Speechless" doesn't just mean dumb. This is different from the result of the monk's "vow of silence".
Whispering, gesticulating, using codes, or simply writing down words are actually no different from speaking.
If you want to truly ensure that you "never say anything untrue" to store the power of the law of cause and effect, you must not even have any "polite" greetings, wishes, or remembrances.
This means that he will be completely isolated from human society.
For this moment, to say such a sentence here, Peter has been waiting for a full one hundred and twenty years.
One hundred and twenty years of loneliness.
It’s not just being in a deserted place.
But he is living in a busy city, high above the parliament... When everyone is looking at him, everyone can contact him, and he can see everything, hear everything, and feel everything , we still have to choose silence that has no reason and can never be explained.
He has no relatives, no friends, no lover, no children, and even no reliable successor who can shoulder this mission.
The grandchildren of old friends have all aged and died. There is nothing familiar about this world anymore——
But he is still guarding the world, even if no one can understand him.
Even if no one ever "overturns the verdict" for him... because the next generation of honest saints will still keep the secret for this purpose.
The ability of this nearly omnipotent wish machine must not be known to mortals.
Because in this world, almost everyone has "regret". ~IndoMTL.com~ Everyone hopes that something in the past "will not happen", but even if the soul of the honest saint is burned, he cannot change all "personal tragedies". He does not have that kind of power at all.
He also has no idea whether erasing a certain nail from a certain time in the past will lead to the demise of a certain empire. Even the best prophets and wizards cannot bet that they can grasp the mystery of time with incomparable clarity.
So the best way...is to change nothing until a real and irreversible disaster strikes.
It's like a complex machine that no one fully understands.
If it still works, don't try to repair it. Because no one knows whether it will become worse after repair.
And destiny is the most complex machine.
As long as he doesn't change anything or say anything, he is already protecting the world.
At this moment, Annan raised his head and looked at the aging Peter.
Peter happened to sit down and raised his head. Then he saw Annan looking over.
The two saints looked at each other and politely separated their gazes without even nodding.
But the corners of their mouths were slightly raised.
They realized at the same time that the other party had understood their thoughts:
——I have done my best, and the rest is up to you.
——As you wish.
I will bring back true hope.
Annan was stunned for a while.
Then he clapped his hands to draw people's attention away from the "silent man" and towards him.
"Everyone, Kafni and I's wedding is about to begin."
Annan made a gentle voice: "Dear guests, you may wish to take your seats."
