Chapter 131 - 131 Possibility
131 Possibility
Death was always a serious topic, even in a world where magic and gods existed.
Although there were various methods of resurrection in this world, in summary, there were only two forms. Moreover, these two forms were often far from the resurrection that the public imagined it to be.
One of them was a high-level spell like Resuscitation, but this was not a true resurrection. At most, it was just using a huge amount of mana to save a life that wasn’t completely gone.
The other was more like a joke or sarcasm. For example, a Void Sovereign had once promised a father that as long as he gathered enough innocent blood, he would let his daughter, who had died in an accident, be reborn. But when this father picked up his daughter, who had opened her eyes again, from the blood bath, his daughter bit her father’s neck and sucked his blood.
The person who was resurrected was no longer the same person as before. Instead, her body had been occupied by some other demon. Such ancient legends had been passed down throughout the Vic Continent, warning people not to believe in the temptation of the resurrection of the dead.
There was even less of a need to talk about using necromancy to awaken the dead or summoning undead ancestors. Those were just memories from the past, and the future ultimately depended on the living to continue.
However, the resurrection that the Seed of Hope could achieve did not belong to any of the above.
According to the game’s description of the Seed of Hope, it was a product of the hope of an era reflected in the Moon Realm. It was the crystallization of the wishes of countless mortals. It was connected to the Light Realm and could guide the purest Creatons. It had enough power to reconstruct reality and trigger miracles.
This power could even create a Void Sovereign. Or, one could use it as a path to the Light Realm and obtain the original Creatons to revive a dead person.
Of course, although this was only written in the item introduction, it didn’t have any actual function in-game. After all, players did not need to go through so much trouble to save those who could be saved. The game creators didn’t give gamers a chance to save those who were destined to die based on the plot.
But everything was different now.
As for triggering a disaster to become the 14th Void Sovereign and obtain immortality?
What kind of joke was this? William did not choose this when he was playing that save.
The Divine Realm light spell, Wall of Brilliance, protected William in the middle. At the same time, William activated the seven Holy Spirit Rings. The shadows of the seven Holy Spirits appeared behind him and protected him firmly.
However, William’s preparations were unnecessary.
Firstly, the four Void Sovereigns did not even realize what had happened. They did not have any plans for the situation in front of Them.
They couldn’t figure out the reason for the other party’s actions.
On the other hand, the resurrection time was much shorter than William had imagined. It was so short that the Void Sovereigns did not even have time to react.
But at the same time, this process was much longer than William had imagined.
After William shouted, the Seed of Hope in his hand split open and turned into a dazzling white light. In this light, William felt that his consciousness was constantly lengthening. Everything around him slowed down until it almost stopped.
It was just like a revolving door before death.
Then, just like a revolving door, William saw the scene of Blake’s death in a light spot.
It was in the lighthouse of Black Crow Gaze. Blake, who was dressed in black armor, sat in his seat in front of the obsidian round table. He leaned the black sword against the side of the table. After doing all this, he looked around again before finally lowering his head and falling asleep.
No, this was not an illusion of the revolving door.
William felt that as long as he stretched out his hand, he could pull Blake away from the round table.
Then, another light spot lit up around William.
The pitch-black Curse of Despair was constantly transforming his body into a Moon Realm existence, and the opposite force brought by the Seed of Hope kept extending and cracking his body. Blake’s body kept collapsing under the effect of these two forces. After struggling for an unknown period, his body completely turned to dust in the sarcophagus with a series of cracking sounds.
These two light spots represented the moment Blake’s consciousness died and his body died.
So I can choose which Blake in time to revive? William thought.
Before William could make a decision, another light spot lit up in front of him.
It was the scene of Blake and William fighting the Whispering Empress Beatrice’s incarnation in the main hall of Platinum City.
A slender woman covered in pitch-black miasma with eight blood-red eyes on Her face strolled between invisible spider silk. She wore thin armor and dragged a long shadow behind her. She stretched out six slender arms, each waving a fatal black rapier.
Blake brandished Judgment 4 and barely parried the other party’s onslaught of attacks. William chanted a powerful spell not far away. But before this spell could be completed, Blake’s defense revealed a flaw. A rapier instantly pierced his throat, and then a fatal black miasma corroded his entire body into a pile of bones.
William looked at the scene in front of him in shock.
Although he didn’t have a deep impression of it, this was probably the scene when he screwed up previously?
Before William could react, bright spots appeared one after another in front of him.
The images displayed in the bright spots were all Blake’s… death.
He was cleaved in half by the Demon General, Carnage, swallowed by the lightning sea of the Tyrant’s Disaster, beheaded by the expeditionary general of the Damon Continent, who held a blood-colored samurai sword, or fell into a near-death state after being surrounded by several Webweavers, triggering Dying Glory before dying, as well as being overwhelmed by the endless Undead Tide…
Countless lights depicting the moment of Blake’s death lit up around William, stunning him.
The last bright spot slowly lit up… Blake walked into the sinister sewer alone and was surrounded by countless half-human, half-spider monsters that crawled out from the darkness. After leaving behind the corpses of the monsters, he finally collapsed. Only then did William, who was dressed as an apprentice and holding a cheap magical medium, arrive—late.
This was the scene when William first met Blake… The scene of him failing to save Blake.
Countless possibilities of death, countless choices to avoid death…
They were displayed in front of William.
Was this the so-called truth that one could completely revive someone without any prerequisites?
“I can choose a victory from countless possibilities to turn into reality,” William muttered.
However, even theoretical deaths that had never happened were reflected by the Seed of Hope.
About 20 light spots floated around William and constantly replayed the moment Blake died.
Since the possibility of Blake’s death existed and could cover all of reality, could the possibility of his countless deaths also exist?
It wasn’t just death. Could the other choices he had made and even his other saves exist?
However, there was no time for William to think carefully. As the power of the Seed of Hope was released, the dazzling white light around him gradually dimmed, and the light spots began to extinguish one by one.
The light spots that differed the most from current history were the first to extinguish. Then, as if they had triggered a chain reaction, more than ten light spots were extinguished one by one.
By the time William came to his senses, only the two spots of light that first appeared remained.
Moreover, they swayed like candles that were about to burn to the end, as if they would extinguish at any moment.
William immediately reached into one of the light spots.
William held Blake’s hand and pulled him from the Lighthouse of Hope in the past to the present-day Lighthouse of Hope.
