EBE Chapter 1184: Power War (3)
Chapter 1184: Power War (3)
Zhou Ning pursed his lips.
The ominous premonition had indeed come true. This was the Sun Goddess's human form, and it was her combat form, with eyes that were the ruthless, indifferent golden serpent. Recorded in Genesis, this form represented the Sun Goddess's full strength.
Similarly, when presenting this passage, the world in the book also deliberately avoided the honorific name of the sun goddess.
“A mysterious person from another world;
"Leader of the Death Eaters; the most powerful and dangerous Dark wizard who ever lived.
"The God of Knowledge and Wisdom wants to occupy your body and reverse the ending of Wayne Stewell becoming a god!"
"Guarani's charm lies in his ability to connect extremely subtle details. Wayne Stewell probably could not have imagined that the characters in a book he casually created would become a trap that dragged him into the world of the book."
"So can Guarani, possessed by the god of knowledge and wisdom, reverse his predetermined fate? I'm curious too."
A strange man wearing a black robe, with no hair, no lips, and two long nostrils on his face was projected from an unknown timeline.
This is Voldemort, the most evil villain in the Harry Potter world.
Voldemort had a blank expression when he first appeared, but the next second, the expression on his face became vivid.
It was obvious that this was a true Guarani god descending.
Even when possessed by Voldemort, His gaze was still deep and gentle. He raised his hand, and instantly the entire world in the book came to a standstill. The river of time beneath His feet stopped flowing, and even the players were frozen.
Guarani sighed and said:
"This novel called 'Harry Potter' should be about your experiences in a parallel dimension. The magic system in it is very interesting, and even I can learn from it now."
"I've studied the history of your rise, and fate always seems to be on your side. In many fateful crossroads where there were two choices, you were the chosen one."
Zhou Ning unconsciously uttered a "huh" and said:
"This is just your illusion. You are using the result to reverse the process."
In fact, there is no such thing as fate's favor. He has relied entirely on himself to get to this point.
Voldemort laughed and said:
"That's simply because you don't understand fate deeply enough. Actually, I already have some regrets. Perhaps I shouldn't have given your previous life a thirst for knowledge and chosen to stand against the protagonist of this era. That's not what a wise person should do."
"Therefore, I can give you a choice. Give up this power war, give up fighting me, and let me take back the knowledge that belongs to me. To do this, appropriate sacrifices are necessary. Some humans will lose their knowledge, and the knowledge will be redistributed among the extraordinary people. At the same time, for certain reasons, some humans may lose their lives. See, I didn't even hide this from you."
This is similar to what I guessed before. Taking back knowledge and redistributing it among humans is the need for the Guarani to return, and letting some humans lose their lives should be the need for the return of the god of death.
As a deity known for its cunning, Guarani was not worthy of his trust. Zhou Ning had no doubt that if he relaxed his guard, he would most likely be ruthlessly backstabbed.
Seeing Zhou Ning open his mouth, Voldemort waved his hand and continued:
"I know what you're thinking. Don't rush to refuse."
"As one of the creators of humanity, my feelings for humanity are no less than yours."
"But I've witnessed the rise and fall of countless kingdoms, and I have a clear understanding of the inherent inferiority of the human race. Even if you save them and grant them divine grace, if faced with a choice, such as asking a human you've favored to choose between betraying you and gaining power and wealth, at least 100 out of 95 will choose betrayal. This is the common understanding of the righteous gods. Humans are merely anchors, vessels for the plague of knowledge. For me, choosing to stand with humanity is less effective than pondering philosophy in the kingdom of God. Sometimes, for example, I'm not even sure if I truly exist."
This god of knowledge and wisdom is incredibly advanced...isn't this the concept of a brain in a vat? If he were in a past life, he'd definitely be a super scientist. But after some reflection, I felt that this was underestimating this great figure. In a past life, he could have collected all knowledge, and perhaps even Earth couldn't stop him.
Zhou Ning curled his lips but didn't say anything. Instead, he separated a part of his divinity and stood from a third-party perspective, calmly looking down at the world in the book.
He was ready to take action.
Guarani glanced at Zhou Ning and continued:
"As a reward for your cooperation, I will help you control the power of destiny. I can clearly tell you that the power of destiny is now in the hands of the Sun Goddess Servisi. If you want to fully control it, you will also need to face a power war. But unlike Servisi, I will fully assist you."
"You have only touched the tip of the iceberg of knowledge authority, and Servis's control over destiny authority is not yet profound. As a wise man, you should be able to make a wise choice. Choose knowledge or destiny."
"Now you can make your own choice."
A prompt appeared on Zhou Ning's panel:
Your special mission, 'The Meaning of Knowledge', triggers a side storyline. Your choices will determine the direction of the mission.
[Mission Description: The God of Knowledge and Wisdom hopes that you will abandon this power struggle, give up your knowledge and authority, and cooperate with Him instead. Do you accept? Yes/No]
[Mission Description: As the protagonist of this era, your choices not only determine the direction of the mission, but may also determine the direction of the world plot.]
[Rewards: Respected favorability with the God of Knowledge and Wisdom; Respected favorability with the God of Death; Respected favorability with the God of Craftsmen and Alchemy; Promise of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom regarding the Authority of Destiny.]
It seemed very sincere, at least Guarani should be serious at this moment, but Zhou Ning chose no without thinking, smiled and shook his head, and said calmly:
"It's tempting, but I prefer knowledge."
"It's not a very rational choice," Guarani commented with a smile, "but you can think about it again. You still have one chance to refuse."
He snapped his fingers, allowing the time in the world of the book to continue, and the long river of time beneath his feet "whoosh" sounded and resumed its flow.
An emotionless voiceover came from my ears:
"At the end of Harry Potter, Voldemort suffered his first defeat, mirroring the defeats of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom and the God of the Sea in the two final chapters of Genesis. The Moon Goddess was also a loser in the previous war of gods. Although the Sun Goddess always presents herself as a victor, she is the emotional loser in her love triangle with the God of War and the Goddess of Elves. In a sense, this is a war between losers and winners. It's also the first round of the war for power."
This… the Sun Goddess actually has such a dark history? Before Zhou Ning could complain, Voldemort's lively expression suddenly hardened, a playful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He raised the yew wood phoenix tail feather wand in his hand, drew a lightning bolt from top to bottom, and pointed it at Zhou Ning:
"Avada Kedavra!"
A dazzling green light shot out from the tip of the magic wand, as if the invisible god of death was flying through the air and shooting towards Zhou Ning.
This is a killing spell in the "Harry Potter" series that can instantly kill the target and is one of the three unforgivable curses.
At the same time, Zhou Ning felt as if his body was stuck in a quagmire. During the conversation just now, his feet had been entangled by countless blood-stained threads.
The elf goddess also raised her right hand and began to judge Zhou Ning's fate. A line of silver text appeared silently above his head.
"In approximately 17 seconds, Poseidon will create the largest volcanic eruption yet and trigger a tsunami. In the chaos, Wayne Stewell will die at the hands of the gods."
