I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Roland suddenly asked, "How long have you been in the room?"

Helena said, "After they finished shopping and came back, I went out. Olivia wanted to take a bath, and I didn't want to serve others or scrub their backs."

Roland understood everything at that moment.

After a pause, Helena's eyes lit up as she said, "Oh! I know! After Olivia returned to her room, she suddenly changed back to her original form."

At that time, Joan still thought Olivia was Lady Herakla and trusted her a lot.

As a result, Olivia turned around to perform the surgery on her. She was terrified! So when she later saw you, she grabbed you and started rambling incoherently, urging you to get this done quickly.

At that time, Roland and Joan were both very anxious. Joan didn't dare to stay in the toilet any longer, and Roland didn't want her to stay any longer either.

Qiong was already in a hurry, so she had no mind to say anything to Roland like, "Ah, in the afternoon, the Empress woke up and asked me about my period, and even showed me erotic pictures."

After thinking for a while, Helena muttered, "The person who was fighting you for the toilet back then... I mean, the person back then must have been Olivia, because Lady Heracles is so elegant, she would never swear like that."

After thinking for a while, Roland muttered, "It was indeed Olivia. Maria and the others must have also used the Book of Heaven at that time to continue blocking Olivia's senses. Olivia thought the door was unlocked, so the door was opened as if it were unlocked."

Roland accidentally uttered another crazy statement, which gave Helena a terrible headache.

She said, "Senior, don't be crazy. Hurry up and do some research. I think we need to be careful when using the medicine—Maria and the others want to suppress Lady Heraca in Olivia's body, but in reality, we have to help Lady Heraca!"

Roland didn't quite understand, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Helena hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior, Maria and the others are not wrong. The one in the carriage may be the real Olivia, but she has been infected with epilepsy and is being replaced by Lady Heracles."

Roland: “!!!”

Roland suddenly recalled something about the 'Age of Madness'.

At that time, many gods inexplicably went mad; they suddenly believed they were someone else.
That seems to be the situation in Ovilia right now!
And the goddess Heracles was indeed a mad goddess!
Roland couldn't help but recall many of his experiences with Olivia. The person in the Sacred Pool was the real Olivia.

At that time, she was not yet completely controlled by the goddess Heracles.

He had been with the real Olivia for a very, very long time.

Or rather, the person he spent most of his time with was not the goddess Heracles, but the real Olivia.

If the goddess Heracles succeeds, Olivia will disappear completely, just like Baron Dryad.

Indeed, the goddess Heracles has always supported Roland Olivia, Prince Alaye, and is deeply in love with 'Olivia (the fake)'.

Roland always thought the two were the same person, and that the goddess was just suffering from mental illness, so he really wanted to cure her.

But now it's discovered that the two are not the same person. And the result of the treatment is the killing of Olivia.

Roland covered his face, his thoughts unknown, perhaps his feelings were quite complicated.

Helena said weakly, "Senior, those medicines should only make Olivia sleep for a while, right? Two gods can coexist, right? Actually, once the baptism is over, it doesn't matter if she has some mental problems."

Helena felt that Olivia wasn't actually a bad person, and that it was a little unfair to her that she was going to marry her senior.

Roland shook his head and said nothing.

In fact, Roland and Helena were not on the same wavelength just now.

He wasn't just dwelling on the matter of Olivia and the goddess Heracles; he was recalling the contents of the old scriptures, he was going mad.

In any case, Helena's words brought Roland back to reality.

Roland admitted that Helena's deduction was very logical. But if all of this were true, then everyone would face a question—how to deal with Olivia?

Roland shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He lowered his hand from his face, looked up and said, "Let's see what Theresa and the others have to say. I don't know what the effects of those medicines are."

Seeing Roland planning to enter the Serpent Ring, Helena exclaimed, "I want to go too! Sister Theresa and the others brought a lot of magical origami this time and redeployed the Serpent Ring. I want to go and see!"

Hey, where did you put your scarecrows? I've been looking for them everywhere and can't find them. Go find them quickly and let them guard them.

Roland said, "Of course you won't find it. The scarecrow is in the Sanctuary. Catherine took it with her."

Helena also wanted to go in and play, but she was afraid Roland would make her stay here to guard the place, so she quickly got up and said, "Then let's go find Brad and give him the ring—senior, we're not in a hurry. Sister Theresa just said that we have to wait a while before we can analyze the results of the potion, so it's better if we go later."

Roland was about to ask who 'Brad' was, but then he shut his mouth—Brad was Roland's attendant.

"No need for that, just give me the ring."

Roland took the ring from Helena, placed it in his palm, and rubbed it between his hands.

Helena looked curiously at Roland's palm and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Roland replied, "Let the ring be the anchor of my past."

Helena: "What do you mean? New magic?"

"That's it."

Roland closed his eyes without saying much, recalling the contents of the Old Book of Heracles. After a moment, he shook his head again and muttered, "No, no, it should be like this."

Helena, who was standing to the side, became even more curious when she saw Roland deep in thought with his eyes closed.

She thought to herself, "Speaking of which, Senior Roland has already advanced to demigod. Compared to someone like me who relied on the power of the Malrods' psychic abilities (faith) to rise to the top, he must have grasped something new."

Helena hasn't seen it yet.

I wonder if Senior Catherine witnessed it last night.

Helena pouted slightly, seemingly remembering something, but then, as if remembering something else, her face flushed red.

At that moment, Roland suddenly opened his eyes excitedly: "It's done! I've done it!"

Then, to Helena's astonishment, he swallowed the ring.

Helena exclaimed, "What? It succeeded? Senior, what are you doing?"

Roland didn't answer. He started walking and took a few steps inside the carriage. He was walking very slowly, but he left an afterimage behind him.

As Roland moved, the afterimage became clearer and clearer, and slowly it turned into a real phantom! This phantom was initially a step slower than Roland, and it did whatever Roland said and did.

After a while, they gradually synchronized. Then, they each went about their own business, like two independent individuals!

And the phantom image completely transformed into a real person.

Helena watched this scene in shock, her mouth slowly opening wide enough to fit a duck egg.

As a professor of mysticism with a high-ranking position at Black Abyss Academy, Helena couldn't understand Roland's new magic.

However, she could vaguely sense that this magic was related to 'Straw Incarnation' and 'Herakka Mysticism'.

In any case, it seems that Senior Roland created a new magic from scratch in just a few minutes.

And this magic seems to be a forbidden technique.

"I did it! I did it!" The second Roland shouted after thinking for a moment, then excitedly ran to the bookshelf and began flipping through the old scriptures, seemingly reviewing the relevant knowledge.

"What? It succeeded? Senior, what are you doing?"

Helena looked at the two Rolands in front of her, completely bewildered: "Could you tell me about them? And which one is you?"

"Naturally, they are all mine."

The first Roland spoke thoughtfully, while the one reading the book was the second Roland. Yet, he appeared to be contemplating the contents of the book.

He said, "There is actually only one person standing in front of you—I unfolded myself in the lower world, allowing myself to exist in two different dimensions of time at the same time."

A thunderbolt flashed through Helena's mind, and she subconsciously said, "Time? Time?! You used the Serpent Ring as an anchor point for the surface world, and then based on this anchor point, you unfolded yourself in different time dimensions?"
Or perhaps you used the snake ring as a 'clock,' and then conjured up another version of yourself existing at that time?

Seeing that his junior sister understood immediately, Roland's eyes lit up, and he said, "That's right, it's about time."

Throughout history, many wizards have had different understandings of time.

There must be many papers in the academy that I haven't read, and I wonder what groundbreaking theories everyone has regarding spacetime.

But I think those wizards who have explored parallel worlds must have discovered one problem—time is neither continuous nor regular.

Helena said, "You mean, 'the bubble hypothesis about the polymorphism of the chaos cube'?"

Roland's eyes lit up slightly, and he inquired about the hypothesis. Helena gave Roland a brief explanation.

In classical spacetime, time is ordered and regular.

But the wizards discovered from their research into the microscopic world and parallel universes that spacetime may not be continuous or regular. It is chaotic and interwoven.

A wizard apprentice named Taras, who was part of the research team of Angelo (Yingtao's husband), the White Chess Tower Master, discovered this problem during his research.

In that thesis, in which he was the first author and his advisor the second, he used a book as a metaphor.

Helena said, "In classical chronology, we often use a book as a metaphor—time is like a book, which can be turned forwards or backwards. But no matter how you turn it, the words on it are always in order."

In the bubble paradox, Taras also used an analogy—it is the same book, but its text appears to be ordered.

But in essence, the words above are completely chaotic and disordered.

The reason we see orderly text when we open a book is not because the text itself is orderly.

It's because of the 'anchor point'.

The moment we turn the pages of a book, the words change based on our current spatial and temporal context.

Helena's eyes lit up as she said, "His viewpoint answers a puzzle about parallel worlds—according to classical spacetime theory, spacetime is a book, and all parallel worlds are derived from the main world."

So no matter how many parallel worlds there are, they are all the same book!

Their histories should all be consistent.

In reality, the history of each parallel world is different.
Therefore, all parallel worlds and the main world may actually be one world, and their histories may all be singular. However, history may inherently be chaotic and disordered; it's just that different perspectives lead to different results.

The entire world is, in fact, a fog of probability, which is completely chaotic and disordered when there is no observer.

But once an observer appears within the clouds, the probability becomes fixed, and the clouds, based on this fixed probability, transform into everything else: land, sea, history, cause and effect, and so on.

Roland nodded and said, "This 'Talas' is quite remarkable. His views are consistent with some of Merlin's."

Master Merlin believed that the essence of forbidden magic was to alter this 'cloud'.

Roland felt that Taras should join Merlin's team to work together on how to unify these two magical paths.

What he didn't know was that the senior apprentice who had explained the Forbidden Angel: Observer to him, his senior sister, and their mentor Merlin in the Observation Hall was named Taras.

Helena said, "I understand, senior. You've turned yourself into two versions of yourself: the present you and the past you!"

These two versions of you appear different in the surface world. But in the underlying world, there is no difference in time between them.

Roland said, "I also understand now, I understand a little bit about the world as God (Olivia) sees it."

If Roland could drug Maria tonight and have her look at the Book of Paradise, he might know how to truly 'disappear' from Olivia's sight.

Helena hesitated slightly before saying, "Senior, are you really alright in your current situation? Starting from the bottom of the world..."
Helena, it sounds like you're describing yourself as some kind of monster in the ocean of the lowest level of existence. *cough*

Helena shut her mouth. What she wanted to say was—you are like an unspeakable monster, a great evil god, hidden in the lower world. You stretched out two tentacles to the surface of the water. One tentacle was reading a book, and the other was talking to Helena.

Speaking of which, the last time we discussed the Shadow of Alaye in Catherine's room, Catherine ended up kicking Helena and Joan out.

Therefore, Helena did not know that Roland was Alaye, and Alaye was Roland.

What they didn't know was that Roland's human form was essentially human, while his divine form was the great whirlpool of the deep sea (a shapeless, essentially conceptual mad god)!
Helena didn't say these words aloud, but Roland 'heard' them.

Roland suddenly realized, as if struck by a thunderbolt: 'So that's how it is! I understand now. I finally understand!'

Lady Heracles is like that, and so am I!

So I'm not a madman after all!
Because I am a fungus person! (End of Chapter)
