Chapter 1716 The Seventh Throne
"The avatar of this planet spoke to me and I know what the Seventh Throne is. At this time I should order the army to attack the Kree, so tell me some information that will prevent my time from being wasted."
The emperor didn't have much respect for the dry, old shaman with messy long black hair and beard in front of him, but among all the people present - to be precise, except for the emperor, there was no one in this cave who could do anything in the true sense. No creature that could be called human cared about the emperor's attitude towards Agamotto. As Agamotto himself said, he had forgotten the last time he took a bath. In this case, it was not expected that the "woman who put the balm on her skin" (specifically Inanna) and her partner would be able to deal with each other. What respect do you have?
Inanna was actually not as rude as the Emperor.
She had always been cautious, whether facing the Sorcerer Supreme or Agamotto, because she knew that the ensuing conversation might touch on some secrets that the Emperor did not want to know. But the emperor himself had the answer - the Seventh Throne was not a special secret to him. His well-trained brain and long-term accumulation of knowledge allowed him to have vague reasoning about his birth before he got the answer. The information Gomotto provided did not exceed his predictions.
"There is no concept of time behind the curtain. The owner of the Seventh Throne both exists and does not exist." Agamotto sat on the ground. This old guy used to be quite handsome, at least half a million years ago, and now he's just an old shaman in tattered robes who doesn't care what he smells like. He said to Inanna in a tone of instruction, "You can imagine that there are several chairs lined up on the stage of the theater, some of which have their owners already sitting on them, and some of which only have names written on them. The first few chairs have their own owners already sitting on them. The owners of the chairs have all caused harm to this universe when they were born. Oshtu and Hogos have experienced it more than once in billions of years, but if the owner of one of the chairs who has not yet appeared is summoned through sacrifice, what will happen to this universe? ?”
"On a cosmic scale, nothing happens." The emperor whispered, "There is only a nameplate and an empty seat."
"Correct answer!"
Agamotto suddenly raised his voice. "The stage lined with chairs is the black box containing Schrödinger's cat. The owner of that chair - in your words - is in a quantum superposition state. Different from the existing owners of the throne, the owner of the seventh throne It exists and does not exist at the same time. Sacrifice and summoning are just one action, just opening the box and glancing at the uncertain cat. If I say it, the person who came up with this theory is really a genius. He has touched the outside. The nature of dimensions. I visited him in the Dream of the Future and learned how to describe this phenomenon in the human language of the physical universe, although not so accurately."
The Supreme Mage looked at his students with worried eyes, and the Emperor nodded towards the teacher, indicating that his emotions were very stable. Agamotto raised his dirty arms and waved his palms in the air. "This is a very delicate magic. This ritual determines the owner of the chair." The Supreme Mage said, "Until the real owner of that chair arrives, the figure on that chair will never appear. The owners of other thrones have only two choices. , Either awaken the owner of the seventh throne, or let that throne remain idle forever."
"Why are you the only one who can think of this method?" Inanna frowned, "I believe other civilizations must have similar ideas, why have they not been realized?"
"Because the earth is special, because those civilizations do not have me, and because the first advent is real. The earth's ecosystem has experienced pollution from the blood of the gods. Human beings are the only intelligent species in the earth's ecosystem. There are few natural things in this universe. Evolved intelligent creatures have the potential to be more powerful than humans, even those races that live in the Sea of Souls. Maybe the races that created the Rainbow Bridge can do it, but they also indirectly caused the chaos of the Sea of Souls and did not practice this. method opportunity.”
Agamotto hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the emperor.
"There must have been civilizations in the past that tried to offer sacrifices to the Seventh Throne, but He did not respond. There is no concept of time in the outer dimension, and the Seventh Throne must exist, otherwise my plan will not succeed. Then there is a worse possibility, and that is The Seventh Throne took the initiative to accept the call. This is the path He chose for himself.”
"I don't like this answer." The emperor said with a straight face, "It's full of fatalism."
"Facts are not based on your preferences, my dear product."
Before Agamotto was born, when dinosaurs still ruled the planet, Oshtu was already traveling in the universe. Oshtu has witnessed the rise and fall of many highly developed civilizations. Sometimes just a piece of information related to outer dimensions can cause a highly ordered society to collapse within a revolution cycle. Rocks and metals grow organic flesh, and intelligent creatures experience The limbs that had evolved over millions of years were instantly deformed, and all the beautiful ideal visions were twisted into horrific and absurd thoughts without any reason or logic.
Agamotto tried his best to convey the information dictated by these Oshtu. In the future, the Kama Taj Library will still preserve part of the records buried deep in the layers of rocks and magic barriers, forever alert to the secrets of Kama Taj. The existence of the eternal enemy of mages. But this is not enough. The Supreme Mage lowered her head and sighed - she was so gentle that for more than a thousand years there have been people who forgot about the real threat and even tried to contact the deep psychic powers - in the future she saw, Kaecilios should He is the one who is exposed to black magic. If Cassilios can wake up, he can control this power like her. But the emperor didn't allow it. He thought it was enough to do this kind of thing by himself.
Mortals are good at forgetting, but they will always remember.
He will rub salt into the wound to remind himself of the dangers of the outer dimension. It is difficult for mortals to accept this kind of pain from the soul.
Inanna's eyes widened, not letting go of any of Agamotto's descriptions. She learned a lot of information from the Emperor. She knew the impact of the First Coming on the Earth's ecosystem and the psychic potential of the human species, but she didn't know what would happen when the outer dimensions swallowed a planet, nor did she know the outer dimensions. The corrosion is so secret and undetectable that any seemingly ordinary thought is full of venom. Sometimes it is a voice, sometimes it is a gesture, and sometimes even a breath of fresh air will be a lie that leads to corruption. When civilization comes to an end, reality will lose its logic, and the rationality by which intelligent creatures understand the universe will lose its meaning. Results can occur before causes, and the most absurd and bizarre fantasies in the universe will jump out of the illusory dimension and completely change reality.
They can resist countless times, but as long as they fail once, the outer dimension will win the final victory. They are the damp and cold poisonous snakes in the dark caves, the sharp whispers of the gravel floating in the hot air rubbing against each other. Their number is like mites, densely clinging to the thoughts of all civilizations, chewing and metabolizing the souls of indulgence. Crazy energy.
Agamotto kept talking.
He was urgent, as if the air was squeezing his soul, something was chasing his footsteps, and he couldn't wait to squeeze out all the warnings. The emperor summoned three armchairs and several oil lamps into the cave, and the uneven ground did not make the chairs sway. He invited the Sorcerer Supreme and Inanna to sit on a chair, and he took a seat in another chair. As for Agamotto, the old shaman seemed quite comfortable on the cold floor, and although he repeatedly pointed his eyes at the emperor, the emperor didn't think he needed extra help.
"You have the power to control stars, but you use this power to create chairs, cushions and hot tea?" Agamotto recognized the spells of the future Kama Taj system at a glance. The air was filled with the smell of static electricity, frost and ozone. He was pretty sure he also saw a warm clay pot behind the seat, which smelled of heated fat and sugar - he couldn't blame anything, after all, it was tea time - he didn't have tea time, there was only Due to gravel, ice and snow, the rabbits at the foot of the mountain are too thin and too alert, making them neither tasty nor easy to catch. "I can't imagine what the mystics of the future will do with these powers, and I certainly won't like the answer."
"The people who invented ARPANET couldn't imagine anything on the Internet." The emperor shrugged. "But there is one thing I quite agree with, which is the abuse of psychic powers. But I am a special case, aren't I?"
"So, you know for sure who that chair belongs to," Inanna asked.
Although the cold wind outside the cave cannot invade again, the temperature here is still very low. Inanna, who has always lived in warm areas, hates this environment. Inanna took the hot tea and the sliced honey sausages on a small plate, and the emperor wrapped her in the lion's skin. This is the product of the slaughter of livestock raised in the temple. She once moved weak piglets into the room just to keep them alive and shed tears over the dead livestock babies. Now she can taste the delicious sausages with a calm face and give good comments ("This year's sausages are better than last year's"). It tastes good, it must be because the honey harvest is better and the priests are willing to use more honey.”)
"Is this going to work? I mean, is it going to hold up against the owners of the other chairs?"
"Of course not! For the material universe, this is just a cat and not the owner of the throne. A cat is very powerful, but I can't turn the cat into a lion and let the lion pass through to fight the evil wolf behind the curtain. In the material universe In the universe, cats will always be cats, and they can only grow into lions behind the curtain. Fortunately, the evil wolf behind the curtain cannot completely pass through reality and come to us. To fight against the Chihuahua, one cat is enough. I will give him this only if it is safe.”
Agamotto pointed to the three rings on the emperor's hand.
"The essence of this thing is the three sections of Emperor Weishan's true name, something that can truly make Emperor Weishan surrender. Although they caused a lot of trouble to the material plane before finding you, it also provided you with a lot of help, isn't it? Are these three rings wandering around the earth, looking for the right owner? I just make a plan. Emperor Weishan behind the curtain will tell me that the plan has been successful at any point in this material universe, and the nameplate of the Seventh Throne has come. The cat came to the material universe, so I started to act - but this is not the real purpose of these three rings. The cat came to the material universe. In order for it to become strong, it must eat, just like the material universe feeds it. Master of all thrones on the stage.”
"You want me to eat it. Or, eat Vishanti?" The emperor's face was not very good either.
This was certainly not because of the relationship between Vishanti, Agamotto and Kamar-Taj, but because he suspected that Agamotto had guessed part of his plan. Although he had obtained the three Tianyuan Rings a long time ago, he never really trusted Vishanti, and the Supreme Sorcerer also knew that part of his plan was to fight against Vishanti. Now that this idea was revealed in front of Agamotto, he felt very uncomfortable. This was not because of shame, but because he felt that his secrets were violated.
"Oshutu and Hogos must not know your plan, so you made this thing."
"Yes, they really don't know, because only I have a human body, not pure energy. In order to make Vishanti a nutrient, I must cast Vishanti's real name into a gem. This is also the result you want, isn't it? I know what kind of person you are. You can trust me, but you won't trust Vishanti." Agamotto turned to the Supreme Sorcerer and said, "You taught him well. He is very smart and cautious. This is not his talent, but a character that is more important than wisdom. It is the result of education. I am very happy that you will control Kamar-Taj in the future."
The Supreme Sorcerer smiled, without showing too much emotion.
Few of the Supreme Sorcerers of Kamar-Taj were truly mortals. She was the Supreme Sorcerer who was closest to mortals. She had the same lifespan as ordinary humans and lived for nearly 1,500 years by drawing on the power of deep spiritual energy. If it were not for the emperor to do it himself and to completely get rid of the shackles of Vishanti, the Supreme Sorcerer would never accept limited corruption. Even so, she still maintains a certain self-awareness. Among all the Supreme Sorcerers, her willpower is the strongest, and it is not too much to accept any praise.
"My, Oshutu and Hogos's plan to fight against the masters of the thrones behind the veil failed, just like Asgard tried to use the human race catalyzed by psychic energy to fight against them. We all have our own plans. Vishanti is a symbol of failure. Vishanti has no humanity and does not care about the survival of the human race. Fortunately, Vishanti cannot interfere with the material universe, nor can it stop what we are going to do. Maybe you want to ask why I made this choice. I must tell you that only by becoming Vishanti can you retain your power, so as not to be completely defeated like Ragnarok, and your soul will become a meal behind the veil, and you will never lose the ability to start a war again. And-"
Agamoto took a deep breath, "-and, only the Seventh Throne who participated in the Eternal Game is qualified to have the power of gods to fight against them. But that is the throne, not you. You are just an inscription with a name on it. The card is a cat that has come to the material plane, not a cat whose life or death has been determined in the black box. In order to maintain your essence in the material plane and to ensure that your plan in the material plane can be realized, you need Vishanti. Don't hesitate any longer - the big bugs you captured were once an intelligent race, but now they have degenerated into slaves of the outer dimension and have lived in the outer dimension for a long time. The invasion of the outer dimension is more serious than you can imagine. The talent hidden in the human race is now brewing a disaster. I contacted shamans from all over the world and found that the invasion of the outer dimension is not an isolated case. They have already set their sights on this planet, and we don't have much time. "
"How much time do we have?"
"The eternal game between them involves most of their energy, but my plan will definitely attract their attention. "Agamoto sighed, "We have less than 10,000 years. "
