A few years ago, Merlin accidentally obtained a piece of parchment when he killed Lady Hydra on an island in the Caribbean.It was a page ripped from the Book of Darkness.Have some kind of magical smile.Just write down the question and you'll get the answer.But it is probably impossible to break free from the shackles of the rules of the Dark Divine Book, and to get the answer from the parchment, you have to complete a sacrifice or a strange request.During the years when he held parchment in his hand, he received a lot of help from parchment.But the parchment also got him in a lot of trouble.At the end of the day, though, the existence of Parchment was good for Merlin, and Parchment gave Merlin one last of his help before the damn game of fate was over.As Merlin himself said, for him, parchment was more than an object.It was a friend of his.Although it has a bad personality, it can always help in critical moments.At the turning point in the first half of Merlin's life, Merlin learned a lot in the final battle, he learned some secrets outside this world, and even confronted the great will that originated outside the world.From those brief intersections, Merlin also learned about the people behind the parchment.Oneiroi...
A man who wears a white robe, covers his eyes with gauze, and likes to record different stories.A dashing, trustworthy person, but completely impenetrable to Merlin."
I have a question for you that I've been thinking about for a long time, but I can't get an answer to..."
At the top of Mount Doom, in the mechanical palace of the wasteland, Merlin holds an orange-lit quill and writes on parchment, "Is that game really over?"
”"Guess?"
The rhetorical question that drove Merlin mad appeared on the parchment.But before Merlin could frown, the black handwriting changed and reorganized rapidly like a moving tadpole, forming an answer in front of Merlin's eyes."
Okay, no kidding.""
It's over, the part of the game about you has ended, you have deceived the crowd with cunning methods, ingested the victory that is not a victory, and made them reap a defeat that is not a failure.""
But it's not over, the competition for this universe has only entered a white-hot stage."
On the other side of the parchment, beyond the closed stars, Oneiroi wrote quickly: "No more craps, no more covert arrangements, no more luck and bad luck...
The gambling dogs are waiting for the last moment when the bayonet will be red, and there is still time left for you to operate, but it is running out. ”The few words on the parchment made Merlin frown.The message coming out of that sentence was huge, and he needed time to think about it.But there was also a hint of urgency in Oneiroi's message, and under Merlin's gaze, another line emerged."
I can't help you blatantly, it will anger other people and expose my existence.""
Don't use this parchment unless it's a critical moment!"
Merlin nodded.He picked up his pen and wrote down another question."
They promised that my world would be free, did they lie?""
Nope."
More handwriting appeared on the parchment.These two "pen pals", who are far away from the endless stars, are exchanging information quickly in this way."
They did give the world freedom, but I don't think that's the kind of freedom you'd like to see."
Oneiroi raised his head, glanced at Overlord and Death, who were playing cards boringly, and then "looked" at the audience where the banquet had already begun.He lowered his head and began to write again.He wrote: "After losing the interference from outside the territory, the evolution speed of this world is accelerating, the level of power is constantly increasing, and there are now lifeforms that surpass the Heavenly Father and are almost a single universe. ”"With your time, it is estimated that in another 2-3 years, there will be a real monolithic universe, but this is not a trouble you need to pay attention to, don't be dazzled by power.""
The cosmic crucible will be ignited at the moment when the evolution is completed, and that is the moment when the ownership is decided.""
Merlin, your previous suspicions are in a sense correct.""
You, including the people around you, all the life in the stars on that side, everything that has happened or has not happened, is not a simple illusion, but it cannot be called real!""
You're just a 'test program' before this universe is officially taking shape and putting it into use.""
Once the cosmic furnace is ignited, the 'pre-operational' phase you represent will end, and the illusory First Age will be incinerated by the primordial flames that burst out of the cosmic furnace.""
The Second Age will open in the pure universe, but no matter how gorgeous or cruel it is, it has nothing to do with you.""
You will become ghosts of the past, unremembered by anyone."
Merlin's eyes narrowed.Before the final battle began, the last Phantom Stranger seemed to have said something similar.But at the time Merlin could not understand it.Now he understood.He did give freedom to this universe, but it was only the last before all things were destroyed.They were born out of a shaped, incomplete universe and are defective.When the universe is complete, defective products will be wiped out, leaving a better future for the next generation.But will Merlin be willing?
Having done so much, will he be willing to let everything come to an abrupt end after years?
Raven let out a sigh of relief.He calmed down his troubled self, and he wrote on the parchment: "Is there any way to avoid this outcome?"
”This time, Oneiroi didn't answer for a long time.This silence caused Merlin to rise into an agitated mood, but he quickly suppressed it.He patiently waited for the help of his "pen pal".He just sat there, like a sculpture.After several hours, new handwriting appeared on the parchment again."
I just went and looked up all the stories related to the birth of the universe."
The handwriting pulsed before Merlin's eyes.sketched a glimmer of hope for him."
I haven't lived through the book of Genesis in the true sense of the word, but I've been inspired by some of the stories of the cosmic melting pot, based on some ancient stories.""
If the Overlord and the Grim Reaper ignite the cosmic crucible from beyond the stars, then you are doomed.""
But if you can get ahead of them and ignite the cosmic furnace from within the stars, maybe...
You will be able to talk to this nascent cosmic will. ”Oneiroi hesitated for a moment, then wrote, "I can't guarantee that this method will save your Age of Nothingness. ”"But if the nascent will of the universe is willing to help you, maybe it can continue the story of the First Age while preserving the existing creatures.""
Until all things in the world come to the end of their final destruction, the second era will begin in a way that conforms to the law of epoch change."
Merlin looked at the answer with a bitter smile on his face.He wrote, "I don't even know where the cosmic crucible is...""
Somewhere in the stars, it's not a conceptual space, in fact, you need to be detached again to see it and touch it."
Oneiroi responded with words: "Any flame needs firewood, and all kinds of cosmic wonders will be born in the universe where all things are born, and those are the firewood you are looking for." ”"Infinity Stones?"
Merlin's mind flashed as he remembered the Supreme Mage's advice when he left, and he wrote, "Is there something like this?
”"Yes."
The beating text responded, "Collect as many as you can, and then find the right time to throw them into the cosmic crucible...""
You and your world are like an egg now, and breaking on the outside is death, but breaking on the inside may mean a new life.""
I see."

Merlin nodded, and he wrote on the parchment, "Thank you, really, thank you very much for the reminder and advice, Lord Oneiroi. ”"Nothing."
Oneiroi's elegant handwriting pulsed, and he said, "I just want to see a complete story, that's all."
It's still a bit of time before they notice my anomaly, so is there anything else you'd like to ask?
”Merlin thought for a moment, and he leaned over to write down another question."
I'm just curious, why do you keep helping me?
Is it just because of the story?
”"Because of the observers."
Oneiroi's answer this time was as calm as before, and in the beautiful handwriting, Oneiroi said, "There are many, many stories in my library, but not every story will be liked by the observers, their tastes...
How to put it, it will change, and it is very peculiar. ”"I made a pact with them to find better stories for them to record for their amusement.""
I don't hate this kind of searching, and I like to include these stories myself, and I'm willing to help the ones who are watched, the protagonists of those stories, but it's all in the service of the story."
Merlin was a little surprised and wrote, "Sounds like you're pleasing them?"
”"Yes, you summed it up right."
A large smiling face appeared on the parchment, but there was a slight frustration on the smiling face, and Oneiroi responded, "I am pleasing them, and I am trying to preserve my taste as much as possible while delighting the observers." ”"But it's not just flattery or flattery, because when they are happy and satisfied, I also rejoice in a good story.""
Essentially, I don't hate it, but I do occasionally feel a little bit tangled, after all, not every plot I like, observers will like...""
And if they don't like it, they'll leave me.""
When all the observers leave me, so do I...
You know. ”This helpless answer made Merlin also silent.Although he didn't have much contact with the Oneiroi, he could be sure that the Oneiroi was definitely much stronger than him, and the level of the Oneiroi was beyond his imagination now.But such a powerful life will also have its own helplessness.In the world, how can there be true freedom?
After a few seconds, Merlin shook his head to free himself from this sad emotion, and he put pen to paper: "So, what do I do?
I mean, I'm going to have to please them from now on, too?
If only I could make you feel less stressed out by doing this...
I can try to please them. ”Merlin wrote, "You helped me, and I should help you." ”"Not necessarily."
Oneiroi's answer was crisp, and the handwriting quickly emerged: "Do what you think, you don't need to change it." ”"As I've said, observers' tastes change, some people hate you, and some people like what you do, and as the protagonist of the story, you make decisions and you bear the consequences.""
You don't need to deliberately explain, you don't need to bend your mind, you have your own life, you go your own way, leave everything to other people to evaluate, whether it's good or bad, you have to carry those evaluations...""
That's the story itself and the meaning of the main character.""
They will scold you, they will even scold me, hate me, humiliate me, but it doesn't matter, I'm used to it...
You also have to learn to get used to it. ”"You can't make everybody like you and no matter what you do, someone will criticize you...
For example, you and the women around you, there are observers who like your amorousness, but there are also observers who spurn your abusive feelings. ”"But if you cut off your intimacy with all the women around you, the watchers who like you won't hesitate to turn away...""
Understand?
Don't take the initiative to please, God's will is unpredictable, so just be yourself. ”Oneiroi's handwriting stopped, and after a few moments, he wrote, "This is a good thing, criticism always makes people improve, and under the combination of bad words, there is also a blessing that expects you to become better." ”"Okay, let's not talk about these things."
Oneiroi drew a big smiley face on the parchment again, and he said, "If you're interested, come to the Endless Library after the story is over, we can talk, and I can share more stories with you." ”"Oh, by the way, there's one more important thing.""
You're not the only one in your world who has broken the 'fourth wall.'"
Oneiroi reminded in elegant handwriting, "There is another person besides you who can communicate directly with the observers without going through me. ”"Who?"
Merlin asked, slightly surprised.The next moment, a name appeared on parchment."
Wade.
Wilson, Deadpool, your friend. ”"A small part of his madness comes from his own suffering, but a lot more comes from the fact that he saw the reality of the world before you do...""
He's not actually crazy, he just chose to give up on himself after learning the truth of everything.""
But on the contrary, the observers like this kind of self-abandonment, wanton and reckless life, he is now too annoyed to be harassed, and even actively escapes from the 'curiosity' of the observers, so if you have time, you might as well talk to Deadpool more...""
As long as you can endure his madness and gain his trust, then you will definitely gain something."
Merlin nodded.He glanced at the stick figure-like graffiti that appeared on the parchment, and the graffiti depicted Deadpool in it, and Merlin couldn't help but smile at the cute style.After laughing, he wrote, "Last question, I've seen God before..."
Why do I feel that he is so different from other Heavenly Fathers?
He told me that it only took him an average of 7 days to create a world, and I felt like he was bragging, but instinct told me that it was true..."
In the face of Merlin's question, Oneiroi's answer was also quick and crisp."
Who told you that the God you see is an ordinary God the Father?"
This meaningful answer made Merlin suddenly startled.()
