Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 324 "Are you also the 'omniscient and omnipotent'?"

"Wait here for now. I'll go to the island and pick some oranges for you."

After hinting to Groselle and the others that they didn't need to get involved and that he would handle the matter, Star looked at the sunset and stepped onto the island.

Only Groselle and the others were left staring at each other with Vice Admiral Iceberg, wondering what had happened to Star.
Was there any relevant clue on the island? The crew of the Golden Dream, which they also saw, was sent here along with the ship, and stood strangely in their respective positions, such as on the ship rails, next to the sails, etc., motionless.

Only Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina seemed to be thinking about something. She noticed that the position where the crew members were standing was exactly where they usually drove.

Knowing more about the inside story, she guessed that this was a situation arranged by the mysterious person behind the scenes, but she couldn't figure out why he did so.

Is there some special secret associated with Star? Or is he not just him, but a "ta" that she can't explain clearly?
However, speculation is speculation, and Edwina will investigate it anyway:
Since Star was confident that she could go to the island and talk to Him, she didn't have to worry about anything.

On the contrary, we can find out the situation of the crew members.

"Since Star has something to investigate on the island, why don't we explore it on the ship first?"

Mobet, the most open-minded "thief" in the team, put forward his opinions in time and spoke to "Ice Lieutenant General" Edwina.

"Row."

"Vice Admiral Iceberg," Edwina nodded.

This was her ship, and she was curious about what had happened here.

Coming in front of the nearest "Boatswain" Danitz, Edwina's light blue eyes suddenly became deep, reflecting a golden glow like the sun, vaguely forming the outline of a scale.

At the same time, Danitz suddenly woke up as if he had dozed off and was caught by the teacher. His heart skipped a beat with fright:
"Captain? Why are you here?"

"No, it's the captain... I thought it was something else..."

At this time, he obviously realized his confusion and remembered what happened before he lost consciousness. “Flame” Danitz said with tears in his eyes like a child who lost his mother:
"Captain...Captain! You finally showed up. We thought you were kidnapped by that wild man!"

"These people are, have your children grown up this big?"

At the end of his words, Danitz obviously lost his composure, his tone began to become strange, and there was a hint of determination and sadness hidden in his voice as a staunch supporter of the captain:
"Wow, what should I do... No, no, no, Captain, you are as kind to me as my mother and you taught us all kinds of mystical knowledge. I should be happy for you."

"It's my fault, it's my fault..."

His words made things worse, and "Iceberg Vice Admiral" Edwina's face turned obviously unhappy.

Even the elf Siatas couldn't stand it anymore, and followed Mobet next to her and said in a irritable tone:
"What about their child... How about I shoot him with an arrow to wake him up?"

If this wasn't a member of the crew of Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina, Siatas would have wanted to attack directly, wrapping the longbow in her hand with silver-white electric light to shock this man who was talking nonsense soberly.

Lightning is also the best weapon the elves use to punish these offenders!
At this time, the "Iceberg Vice Admiral" Edwina showed a rare anger, and her usual coldness was gone:

"That's enough, Danitz, what on earth are you talking about?"

She let out a breath, and she was also made a little irritable by Danitz.

However, the giant Groselle next to him noticed something was wrong at this moment:

"They seem to be trapped in a kind of forced hypnosis, just like the mass hysteria caused by the 'Imaginary Dragon' in the past."

Mobet was thoughtful, thinking of a story that had been circulated in the Fourth Era, and nodded:

"Well, I once heard an old song:"

"It describes the occurrence of a so-called 'mass hysteria', but it is very likely that there is the influence of the 'audience's' high-level ability behind it, a disease called 'mental plague'."

"If we take a closer look at the crew members around us, they are all in this state with such high consistency. Could it be that they are also influenced by the high level of the 'audience'?"

For example, the "Son of the Creator", the Being whose name cannot be spoken directly...He is very representative in this regard.

However, which high-sequence expert from the "audience" pathway is "manipulating" this?
What is the purpose of this?
I remembered the "Dragon of Imagination" mentioned by Star in "Groselle's Travels", and that "Groselle's Travels" was written by that "Dragon of Imagination".

Mobet began to think about the connotation of it, grasping something, but also with a hint of uncertainty.

At this time, the ascetic Snowman took direct action and used his extraordinary ability:

“God says: Wake up.”

Thus, “Flame” Danitz was as if he had just woken up from a dream. He finally recovered from that state and touched his face. He felt that all his face had been used up here.
"No, Captain."

"I just... must have been drunk. Yes, Johnson and I drank too much..."

Thinking of those absurd things, Danitz couldn't help but feel ashamed. He hesitated and finally came up with a reason to explain his actions.

At this time, Admiral Iceberg Edwina sighed quietly:

"Let's get to the point: why were you all standing at your respective posts just now? What happened on the ship? Why are you suddenly here?"

"this and that……"

Danitz held back for a long time but couldn't utter anything.

This is obviously not like his usual self.

"Let me do it."

"I'll see if I can steal his hidden memory."

Mobet took the initiative.

This is on someone else's ship, and showing a little more performance will definitely help them to go to their destination on "Vice Admiral Iceberg's" "Golden Dream".

"Row."

After thinking for a while, she realized that letting Danitz shut up would obviously be beneficial to the subsequent conversation, so Edwina stood by the boat pole and made room.

Then, they visualized the scene at that time from Danitz's mind:
"Shit!"

The scene opens with familiar words.

At this time, Edwina nodded slightly:
This was the Danitz she knew.

But Danitz's words soon shattered her expectations, causing her to sigh slightly inwardly again, and she almost got a stitch in the side.

"Is it not enough for the captain to bring that man into the cabin? Is he going to elope with him?"

"Danitz, Danitz, what on earth are you thinking about?"

"We haven't gotten that far yet!"

The pure and cold "Iceberg Lieutenant General" is simply "shivering":
It was obvious that she was at most interested in "academic research" on Star, so why did she suddenly get interested in this direction?
But she still had to pretend that nothing had happened. Knowing that ignoring it was the best way to deal with it, she still chose to continue watching:

Fortunately, Danitz was not asked to recount what happened at that time, otherwise, I would really be dead!
At this moment, the scene changed, and the black-haired "Flower Tie" Johnson appeared. His rather mellow voice made a sound that was almost like a wail:
"Impossible! This is definitely not the captain I know!"

"The captain was very kind to us. He even taught us mystical knowledge without charging us any tuition."

"Unlike some women in the Red Theater, who are shameless when asking for money! They even try to trick people into giving them more money!"

At this time, Danitz's impatient urging voice continued to reach his ears:
"Jordson, did you get any results from your divination? Aren't you known as an expert in this field?"

"At this point, we should stop hiding. We need to work together to find that guy."

And the urged Jodson rubbed his forehead vigorously:

"All divinations for the captain's search have failed."

"But one thing is certain for now. The captain is still alive. We just don't know where he has gone."

"As for that person, there is no trace of him at all."

"Come to think of it, Danitz, why did you suddenly think of bringing such a person back? If you want the captain to teach him a lesson, there's no need to use the pretext of looking for adventurers to cooperate with you!"

There was a hint of resentment in everyone's tone.

Danitz felt embarrassed to be stared at, so he could only turn his head away, unable to utter a word.

So they all sighed.

At this time, the first mate Blue Walsh, who had short grey curly hair, pushed his monocle and said:
"When the captain left, he did not take some necessary magical items with him, which shows that the situation was very abrupt and unexpected."

"Could it be that the captain is just acting on impulse and will be back soon?"

"How fast is that?" the crew shouted. Not to mention just being away for a day, even a short while would be enough time for the captain and him to come up with something.

"But where can we go?"

"The captain left without leaving any clues..."

The atmosphere gradually became silent until Danitz looked in a certain direction and got an inspiration.

"It must be there!"

"It's possible that the captain just decided to go on a whim with him to explore the island coordinates he had recently obtained. That must be the case!"

As if they had found their goal, their wills gradually became unified:

Yes, we have to get there quickly to catch up.

Even though this period of time is enough for something to happen, we must at least stop them first!

"I'm going to pull the sail."

This is "Flower Tie" Joderson.

"I'll go adjust the rudder."

This is First Mate Blue Walls.

"I'll command everyone."

This is Daniz, the sailor who just wants to make a living.

"roll!"

In a playful manner, they all determined that Star and "Iceberg Admiral" Edwina were on the island, and couldn't wait to sail to the mysterious primitive island.

Until the end of the scene, they saw the giant island. The forests and mountains that should have looked full of vitality revealed a gloomy feeling. Although it was quite lively here, some birds that only existed in myths and legends could be seen flying in the air in the forest, revealing its antiquity and mystery. But for some reason, it was like the "dragon's pool and tiger's lair" mentioned by Emperor Roselle, as if there was a hidden crisis, which made people unconsciously feel a sense of crisis.

And this is the last residual image in their minds before they lose consciousness...

"It seems reasonable, but their tone seems to be more extreme than usual?"

With a hint of uncertainty, Mobet analyzed.

“They’re really not like this normally.”

Edwina replied succinctly.

After a while, looking at the other crew members who were still standing there, Edwina looked in the direction where Sta left with a hint of pleading.

It seems that they were indeed affected, and their purpose was to let the "Golden Dream" sail here.

The original island coordinates obtained before were used here?
But how did Star know that this was the original island? Did he have some ability to acquire information, or did he understand something when he saw the coordinates of the island?
But this is beyond the scope of their discussion.

Edwina looked towards the pristine island. It was already dusk, the legendary moment when day and night alternated and spiritual power changed.

The so-called "devil's hour" probably refers to this.

……

Strolling on the island, passing by the area that was originally the territory of the "demigod" feathered serpent, Star looked down:
There are many hunched or crawling figures there.

Among these figures are humans, baboons, goats, and tigers. They are either holding stones or using their claws and fangs to constantly polish the piled up trees and rocks, as if they are building a palace.

Some of them were pale, some had withered fur, and some had ulcers on their bodies. None of them looked alive.

Even dead bodies are not spared, this is simply another kind of PUA! The capitalists feel inferior and envious after seeing this.

Having said that, Star sighed, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with this behavior of taking advantage of and spending money on even the dead.

He passed the feathered serpent and directly dispersed the corpses, wishing that their souls could be freed.

As for the feathered serpent:
Quetzalcoatl is also a snake! This was instantly defeated by Star's "Snake Favorability Max" ability.

Not to mention that he himself is also a high-ranking being on the path of "Death", which makes him extremely restrained from the extraordinary creatures on these paths.

As for the extraordinary creatures that followed, anyone below the level of demigods, Star didn't even look at them.

Those who have reached the level of demigod, such as the "witch" White Snake who can only petrify those around her, were either directly restrained by Star, or Star was just interested in them and loaded a "module" of "Pokémon Master" by Star, who then "taught them a lesson".

Of course, considering that these extraordinary creatures do not really exist, Star did not really subdue them, but chose to let them go... or rather, release them.

"Why do you feel like it's been so easy all the way here?"

"Yes, I am ridiculously strong now..."

Star walked all the way to a building that was mostly collapsed and overgrown with weeds and vines.

Looking at the building, his eyes swept over the spires, the stone pillars, and the broken walls that were still standing.

Instead, he paused and didn't go in, just waiting here.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, a long voice suddenly rang in Yusta's ears:

"Hey……"

This sigh came from the deepest part of the church, carrying with it unspeakable vicissitudes.

Then, accompanied by a long sigh coming from deep within the church, a figure in a simple white robe appeared silently. He had light-colored pupils, a light golden beard, a warm and reserved expression, and a cross pendant on his chest, just like an ordinary priest.

"You came."

"I am coming."

Adam answered with a hint of helplessness.

"You shouldn't have come."

Didn't I invite you here?
This is my fantasy island!

If Adam had any psychological activity, it would have been like this.

But he was confused for the moment and could only remain silent.

"No, you want to talk about business?"

Looking at Star with his light-colored yet clear eyes like a child's, Adam did not hide anything and said bluntly:
"Are you also the 'omniscient and omnipotent'?"

"Could it be possible that the 'Creator' who can truly be called 'Omniscient and Omnipotent' could have multiple beings?"

Star asked back.

Without saying his reasoning, Adam spoke gently, as if speaking to a friend he hadn't seen for years:
"you know too much."

“A lot, and then what?”

Star did not hide it and admitted it directly.

It is very difficult to deceive Him who is the “audience”.

It’s better to talk it out.

Moreover, most importantly:

"Can you kill me?"

So, on the ruins of the church illuminated by the dusk, the two stood facing each other on this ancient building.

The atmosphere finally became tense.

But the fact is also obvious:
No one can kill anyone.
