The young vampire, of course, could not understand what Hessiana meant. Even Hessiana herself did not know how to explain it. "My mother and my stepfather just killed my aunt, but my aunt is probably my sister, and genetically speaking, my mother and I may be sisters. So my sister, my stepfather, or my brother-in-law just killed my aunt or my sister." Hessiana's head was in a mess. In fact, this question had not just popped up. Whether Vivian's split body was a peer or a junior was a question that could be raised to the ethical level. Hessiana had been struggling with this question ever since she could remember. Later, when humans developed cloning technology, this question once again hit her. Every time she thought about it, she wanted to kill those humans who researched biological cloning. At this moment, thinking back to the battle in the ancient city of Ertos, Hessiana suddenly felt her head swelling like a puddle of water.
However, this dilemma was just the result of Hessiana's own worries. No one else had ever cared about the seniority of Vivian's split bodies. Even Vivian herself did not think about it. The poor ancient vampire had been starving and cold all day long and had no time to think about it.
So Vivian's evaluation of Hessiana's dilemma was that she had nothing better to do.
After Hao Ren and his entourage returned to the main material world, the collapse of the lost dimension lasted for about four hours. During this period, the continuous shaking could be felt throughout the quarry. In the last hour, the shaking reached its peak and even caused a small crack and collapse in another stone wall.
After that, the cave leading to the other dimension disappeared completely.
The lost city of Ertos had completely disappeared in the torrent of history. The once prosperous city on Earth had finally disappeared with the yellow sand. There was not even a word about it in the Mythological Era. Only Hao Ren and his entourage became its last witnesses and preserved the memory of the city.
After saying goodbye to Hessiana, they returned to their home in the Southern Suburbs. They brought back not only a bloodstone but also tons of questions about the strange phenomenon of the Malevolence.
After listening to Lily's exaggerated adventure, Nangong Sanba and Nangong Wuyue were amazed by the magical lost ancient city of Ertos. For the siblings, who had never experienced the Mythological Era, what Hao Ren and his entourage saw and heard in the other dimension was like an anecdote from myth to reality. What was even more remarkable was that one of Vivian's Malevolences turned out to be one of the protagonists of the mythological story. Nangong Wuyue shook her head incredulously. "I always thought that the Malevolence could not think and could not communicate at all. I did not expect that there was a Malevolence who could communicate with people … although she eventually went crazy."
"Our understanding of the Malevolence comes entirely from two or three encounters. But in fact, Raven 12345 has collected more than 20 Malevolence specimens, and no one knows what characteristics they will have." Hao Ren shook his head. "And we have found some clues on Inferno. Think about Vivian, who was once the 'patron saint' of the local people. So we can guess that the Malevolence is likely to remain rational for a while in the early stages of the split. But now it seems that this rationality is destined to be temporary."
While he was talking, Noobie had crawled out of the mouse hole. The little tot climbed up the table leg, looked up, and finally raised her hand at Rollie. "Ghsss —"
Rollie blinked, pressed Noobie down on the table, and began to play with her.
Vivian looked thoughtfully at Noobie, who was being patted by the cat. "Maybe the madness of some Malevolence is temporary …" Vivian said.
Nangong Wuyue did not hear it clearly. "What did you say?"
"No, nothing." Vivian shook her head and then looked at Hao Ren. "I think that compared to the 'rationality' of the Malevolence, the divinity of the Malevolence of Ertos is more important."
Hao Ren reached out to stop Rollie's little 'violence' and grabbed Noobie to tidy up her messy hair. He nodded. "Yes, divinity. It's the most unique attribute I've ever observed."
"How can a Malevolence have divinity?" Nangong Sanba's eyes widened. "Are you sure?"
"I'm a certified professional psychic. What do you think?" Hao Ren glanced at Nangong Sanba. "I am a hundred percent sure that it is divinity, and it is not divinity below the second level like a divine artifact or a divine creation. It is a direct derivative of the Goddess of Creation. In terms of composition alone, it is higher than me, the pope appointed by the true God."
Nangong Wuyue felt incredulous. "How can you kill such a powerful Malevolence?"
"Divinity does not determine power 100 percent, just as a diploma does not prove one's ability 100 percent. Fighting depends on wisdom and technology," Hao Ren said, waving his hand. "Of course, it is mainly because I am awesome."
Everyone was speechless.
"Hey, Battie," Lily poked Vivian's arm. "I actually have a guess."
Vivian looked the husky up and down and arched her eyebrows. "What do you think?"
Lily counted with her fingers. "You see, the Goddess once said something was wrong. You are a creation of the Goddess of Creation, but you do not carry any divinity. This is very suspicious, right? Every Malevolence has a different attribute, and every time you split a Malevolence, your power will decrease, and you have absorbed the remains of a Malevolence and mastered a skill, right?"
Vivian frowned. "Don't say that. What are you trying to say?"
Lily pinched her chin and made a mysterious gesture. "I think all the Malevolences and you are a 'whole'. Every time you 'split' a Malevolence, it is actually a part of the 'whole'. Each part will take a characteristic of the whole, and divinity is just one of the attributes of the whole. The relationship between you and the Malevolences is not like that of a parent and a split, but of the same level. It is just that you are more rational than them and account for a larger proportion of the 'whole'. So whether it is those Malevolences or yourself, in fact, they are not the complete 'creature' created by the Goddess of Creation. You must be a part of it. "
The husky maiden clapped her hands. "So there is no divinity in you. Every other Malevolence has no divinity because divinity is just one of the characteristics. It has been assigned to the ruler of Ertos."
Y 'zaks scratched his bald head. "I understand what you mean. It does explain the lack of divinity in Vivian. But why do you have to emphasize that Vivian is just a' fragment 'like all the Malevolences? According to you, all the Malevolences are still split from Vivian. So why can't Vivian be the 'mother'? "
Lily took out a biscuit from her pocket (her pocket was always stuffed with snacks). "Because from the first split, the whole was no longer complete. The complete individual disappeared in the strict definition. It became two fragments, one big and one small. Bat was just the bigger fragment. Small fragments were constantly separated from her, but she still could not be regarded as the original mother. Like this biscuit, I divided it evenly into ten parts."
As she spoke, she broke off a small piece from the biscuit.
"When the first piece was broken off, it became two broken biscuits."
Lily broke the biscuit piece by piece, and in the end, there were ten pieces of the same size.
"Look, what's the difference between them now?"
Y 'lisabet's eyes lit up. "Yes, yes, yes! Some have cream, some don't! "
Lily was speechless.
Hao Ren quietly glanced at Lily. "You graduated from Peking University four times. Don't tell me you spent all your time studying philosophy?"
"This has nothing to do with philosophy! It's a simple question of assemblage! " Lily slammed the table. "We used to equate Bat with the 'creature' created by the goddess of creation. We always thought that all the clues should be on her. That's why we have ignored her 'incomplete' problem. If we don't change our thinking, we will always be in a dead end!"
Hao Ren waved his hand. "Can you not slam the table? Look at the biscuit crumbs on the table."
Lily lowered her head and licked the biscuit crumbs clean. "Is it clean now?"
Vivian did not respond to Lily's words. She just fell into silence. Her eyes flickered as if she had thought of something.
"What's wrong?" Hao Ren asked.
After asking twice, Vivian suddenly came to her senses. "Ah … Ah? Oh, nothing, nothing. I suddenly thought of something … "
Hao Ren looked at Vivian for a while before shaking his head. "I can discuss the issue of divinity with Raven later. What I care about now is another small detail. Vivian, do you remember the first time you saw your Malevolence?"
"I remember, I remember!" Lily raised her claws. "Didn't we get a magic book? We tried to use it to summon the Malevolence, and it turned out to be Vivian's Malevolence. "
Hao Ren nodded. "Yes, that was the first Malevolence we encountered. It was also the first time Vivian saw her Malevolence. At that time, there was a detail. Vivian did not see the Malevolence's face clearly. She saw that the Malevolence was shrouded in a veil of mist. She was very surprised when we told her that it was a Malevolence that looked exactly like her."
Lily nodded. "Yes, there was such a thing."
"But since then, when Vivian saw the Malevolence again, she could always see the Malevolence's face clearly," Y 'zaks said. "Whether it was the Malevolence on Inferno or Noobie at home, Vivian could see them clearly."
Hao Ren continued, "And in Ertos, there was a third situation: all of us saw the Malevolence as a blurry figure, only Vivian could see the monster clearly."
Finally, Hao Ren looked at everyone present. "I think there is a problem here."
