A month and a half … meant that if the plan were to be temporarily halted or canceled, it was possible that the deadline would be forever missed.
Could the people on the floating island really persist to the end without him?
And what about the devils? Without Valkries as a middleman, would the fragile agreement with Sky Lord be broken?
Not to mention the Sky-sea Realm and the Bottomless Land that were entrenched in Fog Island.
Damn it, it would be great if I could pass this information out! Roland's mind was spinning rapidly, trying to find a way out of this predicament, but he couldn't come up with a feasible plan for a long time. This was different from any crisis he had faced in the past. Even if he destroyed the Oracle in front of him, he would not be able to reverse the situation.
Roland vaguely realized that this was no longer something that could be resolved by a single person.
"I … don't understand."
He fell silent for a while before saying, "In the beginning, all of you treated me as a destroyer that had to be destroyed because the Dream World threatened the rules set by God. It was even exaggerated to the point of destroying everything that had been accumulated over millions of years. Now, you are acting out of character and are helping me enter the Divine domain. Don't tell me that everything that has been accumulated has suddenly become worthless? "
"That's not the only thing that's laughable. Since God can turn the Dream World into nothingness at any time, why didn't he do so from the beginning? Don't tell me that he has pity! " The more Roland spoke, the angrier he became. His tone was also rising. "Countless races are fighting each other in the name of God until they are destroyed. Other than weathered skeletons and ruins, there is nothing else. What kind of accumulation is there to speak of!?"
"And you — Epsilon. Since you plan on betraying God, why don't you do it more thoroughly? Lan did it to break free from her shackles, but what about you? If you just want an answer, I don't mind bringing another person to the Divine domain. When the time comes, you can ask God as many questions as you want! "
"Speaking inexplicable words and doing unreasonable things, is this the characteristic of those who claim to be gods and God's messengers? They are worse than mortals! At least mortals will know what they want! "
However, Epsilon was not angered at all.
She was not like those oracles in the past, who would become particularly sensitive and excited when it came to the problems of the gods. She even showed a look of understanding after listening to Roland's words.
The Oracle walked step by step towards Roland. The distance between the two of them was only one body's length.
"The fact that you can ask these questions proves that you are only one step away from the answer."
Be it Epsilon or Roland, this distance wasn't a safe line, but they didn't seem to think much of it.
"However, if we don't take that step, no matter how close it is, it's still infinitely far away." She looked up at Roland. "Gods are great only because of what they do, not how many people know about them. Moreover, the differences between civilizations will lead to completely different views and knowledge, so it's normal that you can't understand. Also, I'm different from Lan. I've never betrayed Lord God. Please remember this. "
"Finally, if you are ready, you can take that step now —" With that said, Epsilon slowly reached out her hand to grab Roland's arm and placed it on her chest.
"What are you doing?" Roland retracted his hand reflexively.
"Isn't it obvious? Obtain the astrolabe, and finally allow the Dream World to intersect with the Divine Domain. You should be very familiar with this process," Epsilon said calmly, as though it had nothing to do with her. Epsilon said calmly, as though the matter had nothing to do with her. "The Fallen Evils and the Erosion Demon Bodies outside were all created by me. Furthermore, their cores have been tightly connected together. Once you finish absorbing the astrolabe, their magic powers will also be absorbed into this world. Such a vast power will be enough to expand the Dream World once again, completing the final step. When that happens, the overlapping Realm of Mind will become a new Erosion, but this time, it will be the Dream World invading the Divine Domain, and you — will be facing God. "
"Wait." Roland stared at her in surprise. "Don't Oracles rely on this blob of magic power to survive? Without the astrolabe — "
"You will die." Epsilon laughed. "But that is only your concept of death. As a part of God, as long as it isn't destroyed, we will exist forever. The only thing that will disappear is an individual named Epsilon. "
"Even so, you can still hear the answer?"
"No … It's enough to ask."
As she said that, she clasped her fingers together and stabbed them into her chest, pulling out a dazzling azure star vortex!
The blood that splattered even stained Roland's face.
"Ahem … Accept it and enter the Divine Domain. Everything you want to know … Ahem … You will find it there."
"You …" Roland was stunned. He never expected the raid to turn out this way. But at this point, there was no point in hesitating. If what she said wasn't wrong, the moment the barrier rose, the flow of time in the Dream World greatly exceeded that of reality. Even if the Oracle died and the barrier was removed, it would still be a month and a half later.
The only thing he could do was to trust everyone on the floating island.
With this in mind, Roland took a deep breath and grabbed the astrolabe.
The blue light grew brighter, as though it was burning its last bit of strength. As though it had been stimulated, the heat in his body began to surge crazily. In this dazzling light, he looked at the Oracle who had blood seeping out of the corner of her mouth.
"I want to ask you one last question. Do you think the destruction of the world is inevitable?"
"That's right … Unless you can … defeat His Majesty." Epsilon's voice was already weak. "But God cannot be defeated. This is … an outcome that was preordained from the beginning."
"But you still changed your initial decision!"
"All of you … have worked hard for so long. You shouldn't disappear without knowing anything … To be able to reach this distance … is commendable in itself." Epsilon coughed out a mouthful of blood once again and forced a smile. "Since the outcome of destruction … is already preordained, why should I … do something pointless?"
"This isn't what you truly have in mind." Roland stared into her eyes and enunciated each word. "Lan wishes to escape her restraints, while you wish to seek an answer. I don't know what restraints her, nor do I know the question you wish to ask God, but there's one thing I'm certain of. Both of you wish to change, isn't that so!? Because both of you have the same gaze — "
"Sorry … That's the second question …" Epsilon smiled as she closed her eyes. Just as the blue light's intensity reached its peak, she opened her mouth slightly as though she wanted to say something, but before Roland could take a closer look, the blinding light devoured everything.
