The Truth of Collective Entities and Will
Chapter 1842 The Truth of Collective Entities and Will
“Everything happens for a reason.”
He Ming spread his hands, pointed to the black hole in front of him surrounded by countless fragments and debris, and gave a brief explanation.
"The reason I've been hiding my identity is because of the Ghost Face Gang. At the same time, I suspect that the Ghost Face Gang is the mastermind behind how this place, this world of C, has become what it is."
"The Grimace Crowd"
CC snorted coldly, but did not dwell on the issue of the mask. Instead, she followed up on He Ming's topic.
"But I didn't feel any changes in C's world before. In the past, when I had an accident, I was reborn without any obstacles."
As the holder of the CODE, and having repeatedly experienced life and death over the long course of time, CC naturally possesses considerable authority to analyze why C's world has become what it is today.
"You're still the same as before, always thinking about all sorts of random things, CC."
Just as CC was pondering why C's world had become like this, a ripple quietly spread, washing away the desolate scene around them and enveloping them in a sea of stars.
However, in the blink of an eye, everyone found themselves in an endless sea of stars.
Among the crowd, a girl with short black hair, purple highlights at the ends, and dressed in black, was smiling as she looked at CC, who was deep in thought.
"Who?!"
Mariana was immediately on high alert, but after being glanced at by the girl, she froze on the spot once again.
“I recognize you! Well, how should I put it? The Pioneer’s assessment of you is not wrong at all. Well, no. The Pioneer still has some compassion and did not expose your evil intention of trying to put your past conjecture about Lelouch and Nunnally into practice.”
"you!"
A sense of foreboding rose in Mariana's heart, but she was unable to use any of her powers.
The mysterious girl in front of her was able to suppress her without her even realizing it.
“Marianna, I advise you to save your energy! She is probably the embodiment of the collective; in human terms, she is the god of this place.”
CC frowned, and finally gave up any thought of resistance.
"God?!"
Clovis and Lelouch both gasped, only to find that they didn't seem to need to breathe in this mysterious world.
"No. I am not a god. CC, you witch really enjoy bewitching people!"
The girl smiled gently, and with light steps, she passed CC and came to He Ming. She raised her hands in a gesture of respect, lifted her skirt, and said respectfully.
"We have finally met! Following the guidance of the prophet, we have finally welcomed the pioneer who led us out of our predicament."
The girl's identity remains a mystery.
But her appearance and her words felt very familiar to He Ming.
Firstly, He Ming could indeed recognize the girl's appearance and background.
She is the girl who appears in the spin-off of the CODE GEASS series, named after the fallen kingdom of Akito, and claims to be the embodiment of the subconscious collective of the C world.
Secondly, although the words were short, the two keywords mentioned already revealed her identity.
"I am not a pioneer."
He Ming shook his head.
"I cannot bear such a title. At least not now."
The girl wasn't surprised and chuckled.
“Excessive modesty is not a good habit, Pioneer.” He Ming sighed slightly, giving up on correcting the girl’s way of addressing him.
Although the girl in front of him seemed easy to talk to, He Ming could sense that once she made up her mind, she wouldn't change it easily.
Especially matters related to prophets.
"Have you seen them?"
"Yes, that's right. Maybe just now, maybe yesterday, or maybe in the next second, in human perception, my encounters with them are everywhere."
The girl readily admitted it.
But her words were hard for Clovis, Lelouch, and C.C. to understand.
"Higher dimensions?"
He Ming was not surprised.
He had previously traveled to higher dimensions in the world of Space Battleship Yamato.
"No wonder he was recognized as a pioneer by the prophets. I understood it immediately."
After praising He Ming's comprehension ability, the girl immediately adopted a serious expression.
"Now, I will speak to you on behalf of the world of C, the collective subconscious of humanity, Pioneer. Are you ready to listen to all of this?"
"The Ghost Face Clan?"
He Ming pondered for a moment, then went straight to the point.
"Yes. I suppose you've already guessed that the world of C, the world formed by the collective subconscious of humanity, has become like this because the Ghost Faces attempted to merge countless worlds into one and create a brand new world, resulting in this disaster."
“Not only CC, but also the world you came from, the world the Earth Federation came from, and even beyond our sight, countless worlds have been brutally mixed together by the Ghost Faces.”
“Every world has its own will. Although the Ghost Faces defeated or deceived the world’s will in various ways before merging with it, unfortunately, no matter what method they used, the final result was the mutual erosion and slaughter between the wills.”
"C's world has fallen to this state through these rounds of forced participation in the fighting."
"Is there such a thing?"
Lelouch stared at the girl in shock, and in a moment, some of the confusion that had been lingering in his mind suddenly dissipated.
"Were the invasions that have occurred around the world in the past just a manifestation of the world's will fighting each other?"
"Half and half. Some of it is the aftermath of the battle between the world's wills, but most of it is deliberately done by the Ghost Faces to accelerate the battle between the world's wills."
The girl paused and looked at He Ming.
"The behavior of the 'Grimace Generals' is called the 'Dispute Factor'."
"All the conflicting factors that the Ghost Faces have thrown into this world will, whether intentionally or unintentionally, accelerate the battle between the world's wills, and thus achieve the Ghost Faces' ultimate goal."
"Unfortunately, we do not know the ultimate purpose of the Ghost Faces. For now, we can only maintain our immortality and wait for the arrival of the pioneers spoken of by the prophets."
“Even if you call me a pioneer a few more times, I will not find any way to help you get out of your current situation. In terms of circumstances, I am no different from you.”
He Ming gave a wry smile and shook his head.
Although He Ming has gradually become somewhat immune to the title of pioneer, it does not mean that he can really solve the current situation by force alone.
"No! Aren't you already on the path to solving the current situation? Pioneer."
