Chapter 1435: Conversation
Above is the real reason Feng Yi gave to Sky Shadow.
Bizarre actually became a warrior of justice? This is the most naive story Sky Shadow has ever heard, and the author of the story happens to be the one who should not have written it—Feng Yi!
Bizarre had absorbed the power of too many people, regardless of good or evil thoughts, even its emotions were somewhat influenced, and it eventually turned into pure evil.
It can be said that even if the magnetic field is purified by him, Sky Shadow still does not believe that guy will become benevolent.
"Sky Shadow, what do you think defines good and bad? We need to figure this out first. People often say something like this, it's all the same anyway, so is it negative, positive, or is it an objectively existing phenomenon?"
Sky Shadow was momentarily silent, as Feng Yi's words were not without reason.
In pursuit of survival or material enjoyment, humans harm every day, and Bizarre is the same. It began to constantly draw energy to survive. Different stances place us at a moral high ground to criticize, yet we lack objective judgment.
"But how can you be sure it will turn back?"
"So, how can you be sure it won't?" Feng Yi said, simultaneously applying laws to open the Impression Sequence.
An image appeared out of thin air before their eyes, causing Sky Shadow to fall into silence once again.
Most importantly, through the Impression Sequence, events that had occurred seemed to replay over him.
And Sky Shadow, like a third-person witness, watched everything of that day, he could even sense that powerful force being identical to the Bizarre before his eyes.
In the image, Bizarre awakens from the White Dwarf.
After several failed attempts, Bizarre decides to escape the star's gravity through spatial power, only to exhaust its strength in long-term space movement, eventually crashing onto a remote planet in Saudi's territory, losing consciousness.
Along the way, a kind traveler rescued it from a cliff, and no one knew its identity, nor were they aware of its power.
After all, Bizarre's appearance at this time was vastly different from before.
To help it, many passengers gave food to Bizarre.
During this time, it neither spoke nor intended to act; it merely quietly finished eating the food.
What made it react for the first time was a woman about to be killed, the woman who had once given Bizarre food and water.
Perhaps because of the goodwill conveyed by the people at that time, Bizarre extended a helping hand. To it, this might just be a casual action, perhaps easy, but throughout, apart from the bandits threatening everyone's life, Bizarre never harmed a good person, which somewhat reflected how it was now different from before.
What's different is that it no longer lives to draw energy. Not being able to draw energy means it naturally won't be disturbed by the negative energy from absorbing it.
"Alright, but what does this prove?"
"If it had become darkened, I'm afraid no one would be alive around it. It came looking for me once."
Sky Shadow was shocked, "It came to find you?"
"Yes, the current it is not weaker than before, even from afar, it can sense my aura. If that's true, I think it can sense all of us as well."
Sky Shadow's eyes widened in surprise, "So you're saying..."
"That's right, it had already detected us, yet never actively caused trouble, except for me. I think its intent to fight me more lies in an obsession within its memory, and the unwillingness of not truly defeating me the last time. So, do you still think it can't change?"
"Say what you want, I have no right to interfere in this matter." Sky Shadow replied in an accepting manner, "But even if it changed, so what?"
Who knows, it might eventually find the good side of humanity. After all, Bizarre now doesn't live on energy. Perhaps, joining our camp isn't impossible.
Sky Shadow was confused, the reversal came so suddenly. The enemies who once faced each other life and death, now stood on the same side, how could this be possible...
But upon thinking carefully, it seemed not impossible.
During the journey with Fatty and others through dimensions, they once encountered the Cantelu king, Leisenboer, nearly leading to total annihilation.
And in this dimension, he originally stood on opposing sides with Leisenboer, yet due to combating Bizarre, they barely joined hands, which was a cooperation.
Now, the human predicament matches Roland's parable. The difference is, Bizarre, as the cosmic filter in the parable, now also gets involved, becoming a presence that cannot stay out of it.
Because now, it can no longer survive by pure energy. To remain alive, helping humanity fight future problems is the only way.
In other words, if there were no humans, and all were dead, it would be a disaster surpassing planet-level. The result would undoubtedly be the nonexistence of any known life, including Bizarre, thus it must choose sides.
Feng Yi's words made sense, yet another logical challenge lies before everyone, just from strength alone, Sky Shadow has to admit that Feng Yi is now much stronger than himself, which is where the problem lies, "Even you, who are powerless against the disaster, I can't imagine what significant role Bizarre can play."
"It's better than nothing. It's truly powerful. To a certain extent, it has potential stronger than anyone else and holds certain cosmic laws, which is something none of us possess."
"Cosmic laws?"
"Yes, Bizarre can indirectly open the Impression Sequence. This is built on certain cosmic rules. It also has the power to convert real space into a dream realm, where in that world, it is the ruler."
Sky Shadow knew about the Impression Sequence, as Feng Yi had talked with him about it before, but he didn't believe Bizarre could do it too, "Why are you sure Bizarre masters this ability?"
"I'm not completely sure, but I can be sure that it has certain abilities in this regard. Think back carefully, do you remember experiencing a moment of memory blur during my battle with Bizarre, even if it was just a fleeting instant?"
Sky Shadow suddenly realized, not only him, but even Fatty also mentioned this matter.
At that time, Zhang Xiaobo said that at a certain moment he briefly forgot about Feng Yi, his impression of him suddenly became blurred, and his memory suddenly felt unreal.
In normal times, Sky Shadow wouldn't have cared, but at that time, this situation also appeared in him.
In other words, during the battle between both sides, Bizarre used special means to sever Feng Yi's causal connection with people of this dimension, causing people's impression of him to quickly vanish.
It was then that Sky Shadow realized the seriousness of the matter, "Why does it have such terrifying abilities?"
"Indirectly possesses it, through Nightmare abilities, Bizarre created a being, a demon god nonexistent in this time-space, one of the thirty-six demon gods of heterodox belief, the Old One."
Sky Shadow's brain quickly searched but found no memory regarding it, a strange term to him, "What is the Old One?"
"A mythical demon god perhaps, possessing powers not inferior to God, at least in the dimension it exists it's mostly so. It severed my existence and causal link with this time-space, trying to erase everything about me, which is why your memories of me became fuzzy deviations."
"So, even you almost got done in by it."
Feng Yi was taken aback and then shook his head with a wry smile, "The ones affected were others, its attacks feedback onto humans themselves, not me."
Wait, Sky Shadow's logic experienced rare chaos, "The ones attacked were us, not yourself?"
Feng Yi uttered a sound, "Ah," and said, "The transcendent possesses absolute uniqueness, cannot be severed and destroyed. Its rule has no effect on me, yet far surpasses common human's causal pathways. If the Old One is truly transcendent, then it being created by Bizarre is a logical paradox, it's as if an ant suddenly created a human, one who has been observing its growth since its birth, isn't that interesting?"
