Chapter 321 The Infinite Possibilities of the World
Kawahara didn't leave on his own initiative.
He just vaguely felt that he was about to leave the Earth Library, especially after he restored Philip's "Family" book, it was as if a gap had been opened.
His eyes were instantly flooded with data.
Countless light particles form the earth, and green binary codes converge from all directions like water.
Although the earth that Kawahara saw appeared in front of him, in a trance, he felt that he was actually at the center of the earth.
The boundless black universe appeared in my mind, and the moment of nebula collapse flashed by. Among the floating dust, the torrent of hundreds of millions of years of memory of the earth broke through the wall of consciousness and poured in fiercely!
Kawahara suddenly came to his senses from his daze.
As soon as he thought about it, the torrent of data quickly formed rows of bookshelves around him, spreading out in the dark universe with stars flowing around, with no end in sight.
With human beings' information processing capabilities, it is impossible to adapt to all the memories of the Earth since its birth in an instant. The only result of integrating with them is to be assimilated by the Earth's data.
But this earth has the ability of "Earth Library".
Therefore, "Kuraito Sonosaki" who fell into the core of the earth was indeed completely dead. His consciousness merged with the earth. After his existence was recorded by the Earth Library, a memory replica called "Philip" finally appeared.
Kawahara had said to Kazushi Kadoya before that at most he would be shocked by the memories of the Earth and lose his memory. This possibility is not impossible.
but……
Fortunately, when he was in the Blade world, he had already relied on the "power of creation" to feel the memory of the earth.
So he reacted quite quickly when he was hit.
The bookshelf arranged this time was not the one that Philip touched, but one that Kawahara created himself based on the specious feeling he had just had.
However, after Kawahara temporarily controlled the data of the Earth, he also clearly felt that the Earth seemed to be rejecting him...
Just like he was suddenly pulled out of the "Earth Library" just now.
"I won't do anything to you..."
Kawahara sighed, "I just wanted to borrow your power to do an experiment. I'll make it quick and easy."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and activated the data torrent. The bookshelves floating around the earth began to move rapidly, streaking through the empty universe like shooting stars.
Swish swish--!
The rapidly moving bookshelves created a trail of afterimages, which were highlighted by the stars, giving off a mirror-like luster.
A whirlpool seemed to form around them, and the overlapping mirrors in all directions gradually became clearer, reflecting the figure of Kawahara in the middle.
After being turned into an ordinary person by Kurokami, Kawahara's "power of creation" actually disappeared.
But at this moment, he seemed to have regained the feeling of creating the second "Sealing Stone" in the Blade world.
But what he created now is——
Mirror world!
Even with the rejection and obstruction of the earth, Kawahara was still able to do all this with ease without the impact of countless memories.
It suddenly occurred to him...
If he had possessed the ability to process knowledge like the "Earth Library" at the time, he probably wouldn't have needed the "Sealing Stone" as an external brain to balance the power of creation.
Kawahara was once so bold as to want to merge with the Sealing Stone, but he was almost turned into an idiot by the flood of information.
and many more……
Sealing Stone?
Kawahara paused as his mind was wandering.
In the torrent of data swirling around, it was as if the key word for what he was looking for was found, and suddenly a ray of light flew out and appeared in front of Kawahara.
The light turned into a pitch-black book and slowly folded and twisted in front of him, just like the sealing stone tablet.
After being stunned for a moment, Kawahara reached out and touched the irregular book with the title "Seal" embedded in it. In an instant, all the information entered his mind.
The ultimate battle...
The evolution and development of life...
The card that was shackled by the Sealing Stone...
Every race that enters the "Ultimate War" will spend their time in battle. The winner will possess the power of the Sealed Stone and use this power to evolve their own race and become the ruler of the world.
It seems like he has gained supreme glory.
But isn’t such power also a kind of shackle that restricts oneself and the race?
Fifty-two cards are always restricted by the "Sealing Stone".
So there is no second possibility for Undead.
Kawahara's thoughts turned to this, and he thought of a guy who voluntarily gave up the Second Race War - Yes! The second possibility is to make himself a seal stone!
I already knew about 2 of Hearts!
The other party understood that the fate of the Undead would always be controlled by the "Sealing Stone", even if he used that power to transform the earth and evolve a miraculous human civilization.
But the true destiny of mankind is still forever in the hands of the "Sealing Stone"!
Even if Kawahara later created a second chance for the Undead, at best they were just moving to a different place and having their fate controlled.
All the possibilities of those races are still contained in the Sealing Stone.
What are the possibilities?
It is a life that breaks the shackles of predetermined destiny and moves towards the "unknown" direction - with the opportunity for infinite evolution.
And the Sealing Stone blocks these opportunities.
Kawahara slowly came to his senses.
He ignored the real purpose of the 2 of Hearts for the time being and looked at the mirrors arranged around him.
The swirling data torrent in the mirror slowly evolved, and the picture of the earth appeared. That was where Kawahara had been not long ago - the Sonosaki Mansion.
For the sake of an Earth Well, Kawahara and Kadoya pushed the Sonosaki family aside, and Sonosaki Ryubei's memory was destroyed.
This was projected from the mirror in front of Kawahara.
But to his side, in the mirror was another Sonosaki mansion that had not been destroyed.
——There, Sonozaki Wakana came home from get off work as usual, and was acting weird with her sister Sonozaki Saeko as usual.
At the same time and in the same scene, there was another different scene behind him.
——When Sonozaki Wakana returned home from get off work, she did not meet Sonozaki Saeko, but she met the sneaky Sudo Kirihiko.
——And Sonosaki Wakana walked to the door of the villa and met Sudo Kirihiko who came back with Sonosaki Saeko, but this time she greeted them both happily.
——Or maybe it was Sonosaki Wakana who came back alone, sitting in the restaurant in a daze, feeling lonely.
Several different pictures are presented in the mirrors in all directions. With the mirror world as the medium, this world seems to have spawned countless timelines with different directions.
This is not a fusion of parallel worlds, but a possibility possessed by this world itself.
Kawahara watched in silence.
Then he lifted the black book in front of him into the air, and the book turned into a metallic slab, and several chains rushed towards the mirror space in all directions!
"Bang!"
All the mirrors that depicted different scenes shattered, with the stone slab as the gathering point. The surrounding bookshelves scattered into a ball of data, and then turned into shackles that rushed towards the earth below.
Like a vortex storm in the universe, the blue planet was wrapped in chains that kept overlapping.
A picture appeared on the pitch-black stone slab with chains spreading out. That was the result of what Kawahara and Kadoya had done - destroying the Sonosaki mansion.
All possibilities are closed, and in the end, the only ending left is the one revealed by the "Sealing Stone".
This is everything Kawahara wants to control!
……
But this world does not belong to Kawahara after all.
Even the means by which he did all this were the power borrowed from others after entering the core of the Earth. The "Earth" that was about to be completely submerged by the shackles suddenly erupted with a strong shock wave, the chains broke, and the condensed sealing stone tablets also turned into a ball of data and dissipated.
The green binary code began to flow again in the space and turned into a sharp arrow rushing towards Kawahara!
Like a counterattack after being offended, Kawahara could clearly feel the anger of the world consciousness, and he did not resist this force.
wow——
The rushing torrent of data penetrated his body, and even the posture that Lian Kawahara showed was actually composed of Earth data.
Looking at the torrent of data that seemed to be venting his anger, Kawahara smiled and said, "Well, I don't really plan to mess around in your world."
shhhhh--
The golden-green light of the binary code gradually filled Kawahara's field of vision. In the light that kept flashing with 0s and 1s, he vaguely saw that these numbers had printed out a rectangular object...
Then in the middle of that thing, the character "A" appeared, which was different from the binary code.
Kawahara realized something immediately.
"Wait! You stole—"
Before he could finish his surprised words, Kawahara's data body composed of the earth's memory completely collapsed. At the same time, his consciousness fell into a state of emptiness and ignorance in an instant.
It was like falling into the dark and silent deep sea, and in a trance I seemed to sense the swimming of fishes.
But it was also like being transformed into a speck of dust in the universe, with supernovas exploding and black holes collapsing around me, and everything passing by in a single thought.
That is the world, the universe, the earth...
……
"boom--"
The moment the sound effect button was pressed.
There was a sudden roar in Philip's mind, and his consciousness was forced to leave the Earth Library. He lay on the fence platform of W Base with a dazed look on his face.
He felt a buzzing sound around him and couldn't tell whether it was tinnitus or brain damage.
After an unknown amount of time, Philip came to his senses and sat up from the ground, subconsciously looking at his hands.
There is no dark Gaia memory.
why?
and many more……
Philip was slow to react.
The power of memory requires a medium to appear in reality. The Gaia memory he held in the "Earth Library" just now was just a string of recorded virtual data.
So you have to make it yourself.
But since leaving the Museum organization, Philip has not used the power of the Earth Library to create new Gaia memories for a long time.
Because, the Gaia memories he created originally gave rise to the criminal group called "doped entities".
That’s why Shotaro Sa also called his former self a devil.
Philip's brain, which had been hit by the shock, gradually recovered. He raised his hand and stroked his chin, thinking about the possibility of creating that memory.
That memory looks unusual.
Is it the type on the left?
Philip felt that he did not see clearly, so he could not wait to immerse his consciousness in the Earth Library again, searching for the dark memory that suddenly appeared among the rows of bookshelves.
After walking around several rows of bookshelves, he saw the book with "Family" on the cover floating in the air.
I haven't had time to read this book yet.
Philip reached out and took the book. He wanted to read it, but he also wanted to find the strange memory first.
Just as he was struggling, Shotaro Sae's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Philip—"
"Philip—"
“Philip!!!”
The anxious and noisy voice was very disturbing to Philip. He opened his eyes impatiently, but did not see Shotaro Zuo in the W base.
It was obvious that the guy's shouting came directly from the office outside.
Philip closed the wordless book in his hand, opened the door and walked out of the base. He glanced and saw Shotaro Zuo standing by the bed in the office.
The bed next to the desk is usually used for resting. There is a curtain hanging on the edge to block out the light. Shotaro Zuo is bent over and no one knows what he is doing inside.
After he stood up from behind the bed curtain, he was caught off guard and saw Philip leaning against the door with a curious look on his face. He was frightened for a moment as he was shouting just now.
But Zuo Xiangtaro quickly came back to his senses and said, "Philip, something big has happened!"
Philip looked at the bed blocked by the curtain, then looked at Shotaro's clothes soaked by water, and rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"You drove your car into the river."
"..."
Zuo Xiangtaro paused speechlessly and said, "Hey! How could a tough guy like me fall into the river? Do you know what happened when I went out just now?"
So Philip looked at the bed again and said, "That means you saved a man from jumping into the river."
"That's right... No, no!"
Hearing about good deeds, Zuo Xiangtaro subconsciously wanted to admit it proudly, but he quickly shook his head and frowned seriously.
"I met the injured Princess Wakana!"
"……what?"
Philip was suddenly stunned when he heard this.
He looked at the bed next to him, took a step forward and pulled open the curtain, and sure enough, he saw the unconscious Sonosaki Wakana lying on it.
This is……
his family.
Philip was confused for a moment.
Shotaro Zuo was still behind him and said seriously, "It's a bit strange that she was injured, and she appeared in that kind of place. I suspect Princess Wakana may have been attacked by a dopant! Philip, can you search it?"
However, Philip did not respond to his words for a long time. When Shotaro Zuo grabbed his arm in confusion and wanted to say it again, the other party suddenly pushed him away.
Philip quickly turned around and rushed back to the W base behind the door, and even slammed the door shut!
Shotaro Zuo stood there in confusion.
This... this reaction is wrong, right?
You have to know that Philip is a die-hard fan of Princess Wakana and he doesn't want to miss any radio program. Only after hearing Princess Wakana's voice, this boy who always behaves inhumanly will show some ordinary people's emotions.
Shotaro Zuo had a hunch that something was wrong with Philip.
He wanted to chase after her and ask, but at this time, Sonosaki Wakana, who was lying on the bed, suddenly made a little sound.
Shotaro Zuo turned back to look at the bed again.
Sonosaki Wakana is about to wake up.
Behind the door, Philip leaned against it, staring blankly at the wordless book in his hand.
How should he face it?
