Sword and Magic and Taxi

There is nothing wrong with reducing the impact on Middle-earth and letting the creatures there decide their own destiny; even if they hide and don't want to see the former Mylon and now the Dragon King, this is understandable. But completely giving up on guarding the original power and not even caring about the will of the world is unimaginable. Various speculations popped up in Zhao Mai's mind, including that all the gods in Arda suffered a strange catastrophe and everyone died.

But Ilúvatar cannot die! As a creator god, although it is almost impossible for him to become a transcendent person, as long as the world he created still exists, he will live well and no one can touch it. The only way to kill him is to let all the worlds he created disappear one by one, which is equivalent to removing all the protection from him and draining all his power until the oil is exhausted and the lamp dies.

Except for Nekus, no one is willing to do such a thing as destroying the world. After all, where is the profit from destroying things? Not to mention destroying the world, even destroying a sun and eliminating the possibility of the entire star system producing life and intelligence in the future is not allowed. Although it is indeed too extreme and unfair for Zhao Mai to suffer a space attack because he has the ability to destroy the sun, it can also reflect the seriousness of similar actions from the side.

Naikos attacked Arda? Zhao Mai looked at the world around him and immediately rejected this conjecture. There are no clouds in the sky, the blue waves are rippling, and the natural ecology is harmonious and stable. Where is the shadow of Naikos' world-destroying ability? Not to mention anything else, if Naikos comes, the will of the world of everything is just for survival will definitely be the first to scream, struggle and resist fiercely, and the surroundings will be turbulent and earth-shaking.

All kinds of questions cannot be answered, so we can only go to Valinor first and then talk about it. The elves' white ship moved forward rapidly, and soon left the scope of the Middle-earth sea and entered a strange space. The sea water is divided into two layers. The lower layer is still ordinary sea water, while the other layer of sea surface extends into a steep slope toward the sky, and now the ship is advancing along the steep slope toward the sky.

In order to prevent the power of darkness from corroding Valinor, the Valar and Maia moved the entire island to another space. Only special ships built by the elves can reach it. The words of the shipbuilder Cirdan were full of pride. .

Haha, I couldn't defeat Melkor back then, so I had to move home and run away. What can I say? Zhao Mai held on to the ship's mast and looked forward. The will of the world continues to guide in the forward direction, while the surrounding space energy fluctuations gradually increase.

In order to prevent the dark power of Melkor and Sauron from entering, there are really layers of obstacles here, and they are not relaxed at all. Several layers of protective magic are dispersed in the air, and it can be easily felt. Even though most of them focus on detecting magic, they still make people feel nervous.

Valinor, where the gods are, has already left half of the main material plane of Arda, which is why it is possible to go to the residence of Ilúvatar through it. Everyone stared into the distance and could vaguely see a huge mountain range protruding from the sea, blocking the road like a barrier. The sea can only pass through it through a narrow gap, and then enter the waters of Valinor.

There is indeed Valinor ahead, and I also saw the elf warriors guarding the checkpoint. Zhao Mai put up a pergola with his hands and looked far into the distance. His naked eye vision was the strongest among all the people. It was at least two hundred miles away from the mountain barrier, and it was covered with lush trees. He could still see the elf's expression. Their state is very relaxed, which means there should be no problem on Valinor Island. In that case, the Valar should all be on the island, but I still can't feel the energy fluctuations of any of them.

Things are getting very strange, with many contradictory or unexplained problems, and the more familiar people are with this place, the more they will feel it. The smooth sailing along the way did not make Zhao Mai feel relaxed at all. When the elf guards on the island greeted them, Zhao Mai for the first time did not respond at all, not even waving.

After quickly passing through the barrier island embankment, Valinor appeared in front of everyone. It was a huge island with a vast area and complex and diverse terrain. In the center of the island is a towering mountain, and the Valar live on the mountainside. Zhao Mai still remembered the endless wide stairs. He once followed the team to climb up the stairs to become an apprentice of a certain Vera.

Zhao Mai touched the top of his head, then waved his hand down, changing from a black robe to a white robe, and his appearance also changed. He has a handsome face between an elf and a human, blue eyes, long pale blond hair that reaches his shoulders, and pointed ears popping out from his hair. The insect heart ring on his hand also had its cover removed. The thick purple ring had many Z-worm images crawling around it, adding to the mystery.

Wow, you look so much better like this! Come and see!

Diana's yelling didn't look like a god at all, and Zhao Mai was immediately subjected to inhumane onlookers. Hey, hey, pay attention! I am the number one person here among Maiya, can you save some face? Xiaohua, why are you joining in the fun? It's not like you haven't seen it before!

You look much better like this, and you look very divine. Diana measured Zhao Mai's body data with her fingers, and then blinked: Seriously, if you use this image instead of the usual one, This kind of laxity is more in line with your identity. Good day, Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor...it’s so eye-catching!

The previous appearance was given by my parents, born from heaven and earth, but this is not the case. After I came to this world again, Ilúvatar was stuffed into such a body. This was his aesthetic, not mine. Zhao Mai brushed his clothes and patted away all the hands wandering around his body. I became like this so that after I land on the island, those Vera can recognize me and save me some explanations - if there are really Vera on the island.

Can Vera remember you? Oh, by the way, this is the original world, so it should be able to remember you. Xiaohua thought for a while, and then said: By the way, it stands to reason that there should still be some energy of the holy tree left here. Don't you want me to look for it? I secretly tampered with it, and I might retain some insights and memories.

Zhao Mai nodded, touched Xiaohua's head appreciatively, and then said nothing during the rest of the journey, just frowning until they docked at the shore. Twelve male and female elves lined the pier to welcome them. They came from several elven communities in Middle-earth. In theory, they should know their compatriots on the ship. But this time it was Zhao Mai's family who came, and the only one they knew was Qildan. He didn't get off the boat at all and was preparing to return. So these elves had doubts on their faces, which matched Zhao Mai's frown.

Excuse me……

Zhao Mai rushed to answer without waiting for the elf to finish asking: My name is Zhao Mai, and I have been Maia for a while. I don't know if there are Valla and Maia on Valinor Island. I want to meet them, any of them. Can.

I'm sorry to tell you that they haven't appeared for a long time. An elf took half a step forward and said on behalf of everyone: About two years ago, we were notified that Valar and Maia were ordered to return to Iraq. Next to Luvita, they rehearsed the song of creation again. They temporarily handed over the entire island to the elves for management, and we have been responsible for maintaining the place in order. This Maia (?), didn't you receive the notice?

I was not in this world at the time. Zhao Mai raised his head and looked at the mountain: You didn't touch anything on it, especially the passage gate guarded by Manwe.

The things above are naturally intact, but you can't go up there. The elf nodded slightly and explained: Although you call yourself Maia and can come by boat, Cirdan personally took the helm and passed through layers of magic protection. He shouldn't be a bad person. But we have responsibilities and have no way to verify your identity, so we don't dare to allow you to go up. This is due to our lack of ability and knowledge, which has caused you trouble. However, there is no aging and death in Valinor Yes, everyone enjoys health and eternal life, so we sincerely hope you can be patient.

You're so polite, I'm really embarrassed to do it. Zhao Mai scratched his head and looked back at everyone. Diana understood what he meant and gave him an OK gesture. Don't worry. As long as you can handle big problems anyway. Small and medium-sized problems won't trouble us.

Zhao Mai made a helpless expression: You have to be merciful, these elves are actually quite good, and don't you want to make a big purchase?

You don't need to ask for this kind of thing. Diana crossed her wrists and touched her, and the patronus bracelet made a crisp sound. You go do your thing, let's play here for a while.

The elves probably guessed what was going to happen, but before they could react, Zhao Mai had disappeared from everyone's eyes, and flew to the mountainside in the blink of an eye, stopping in front of the huge steps. If you want to climb the steps, you can only walk. The world's will here prohibits flying and teleportation. Only Maia, Vera and those who have received invitations can go up. Zhao Mai recalled the feeling when he was still Mailong, adjusted his domain characteristics and energy fluctuations, and then stepped up.

A wave of pressure came over him, and he found that he was actually excluded! This is wrong. I used to walk up and down these stairs several times a day. I was just running in the mountains to exercise, and I never felt rejected. Although the force of repulsion was not strong, Zhao Mai could walk up despite his resistance, but it felt really uncomfortable, just like when he came home and found that all the door locks had been changed and he had not left the key for himself.

You think this little trouble can stump me? Zhao Mai curled his lips and gathered all the energy in his body. Now even the will of the world can't find him, let alone affect him. So Zhao Mai quickly alternated his legs and walked quickly through the stairs.

There was no one on the mountain, all the rooms were empty, and there was silence all around. Zhao Mai passed by Aoli's workshop and stopped to take a look. The stoves inside had been extinguished, but the tools and various materials were neatly placed, which meant that Auli was not in a hurry when he left - this But there is good news.

There is no dust on the mountain, but there is a thick layer of leaves on the ground, which is especially soft when stepped on. Zhao Mai was thinking about the fate of the gods, so he did not stay longer in the residential area of ​​the Valar. He passed through the empty hall of Manwe and continued up the mountain road until he came to the transmission channel. The huge stone arch is still in its original position, quiet and intact, waiting for Zhao Mai.

How did you use it last time? Zhao Mai was immersed in the memories for a few seconds and then thought of a way. He clapped his hands gently, shaking the rhythm of Arda's creation poetry with the power of Maia. Because this kind of fluctuation points directly to the original power of this world, it can create the Supreme Lord of the Rings, and of course it can also drive other magic items. After just a moment, the rune pattern on the portal glowed brightly, and a teleportation light film appeared in the door frame.

After passing through the gate, I came to Ilúvatar's side. This place was an empty place filled with light. Everywhere I looked was bare ground. All the buildings and furniture were nothing but Ilúvatar's throne. It's a pretty boring place, but now it's packed with people. All the Valar and Maiya are there, lined up neatly, the chorus singing is deafening, and the momentum of the Song of Creation is always so majestic. As the leader of Vera, Manwe was conducting and leading the singing. He glanced at Zhao Mai, his pupils lit up, he quickly tilted his chin and pointed Zhao Mai in the direction.

That was the direction of the throne, and Ilúvatar was leaning on it, eyes closed, looking in pain. His left arm and his clothes were all black, which was the color of Nexus. The powerful will of the world formed by the Song of Creation is confronting the blackness of Nechus, maintaining Ilúvatar's state and preventing further deterioration.

The God of Creation knew nothing about Zhao Mai's arrival, and it could be seen that he was also very tired. Zhao Mai hurried over, flashing the holy white world wave from his fingertips, and pressed it hard on the arm that was eroded by black. Except for Zhao Mai, everyone present shed tears, and even Ilúvatar woke up crying. And Naikos was violently impacted by the world wave. Although he was extremely unwilling to do so, he could only be forced to retreat.

Mylon stop! We can't drive her away! Ilúvatar quickly grabbed Zhao Mai's wrist with her good hand and pulled hard, but failed. Stop, I'm not joking or having a brain problem. You don't know what's going on, I can explain it to you!

Zhao Mai looked at Ilúvatar's eyes, and saw the calmness, wisdom and sobriety as always in the deep eyes. He put away the world wave, withdrew his hand, and waited. He didn't need to speak at this time, Ilúvatar would naturally explain.

This is indeed Nexus, but she came to me, not to attack and destroy the world. To put it simply, this is Beta, the last consciousness of Melkor.

Zhao Mai's eyes widened and he was shocked and didn't know what to say. He stepped back, stepped back, and used all his powers to detect the blackened areas of Ilúvatar. No, this is Nekus. I can't see that she is a Beta! Ilúvatar, no matter who becomes Nekus, it is Nekus, and the previous characteristics will disappear...

That's what the Temple of Nekos said, and it's also what the Alliance of Rings said, but I believe what I saw. Ilúvatar said: Beta told me that she helped you stabilize Dogian's soul and gave you Her complete consciousness. You once saved her, but she still chose to live on her own and wander - she said that was the decision she regretted the most. What do you think, is this a Beta, or a Nexus with all his characteristics gone?
