To say that "God's" words had no impact on Rin would be a lie. After all, Lin Lin was her past, her former trace. Now, all those past events had become a dream-like illusion, a memory belonging only to her. If a memory only exists in one person's mind, what difference is there from a dream?
However, from the moment she met Sakura, Rin had already decided to live as Tohsaka Rin. In this beautiful yet cruel Nasuverse (Moon World) she yearned for, she had already made up her mind. Now, her retreat was completely cut off; she had no room to turn back.
"Then, how are my parents?" Rin lowered her head, her bangs obscuring her eyes, making her expression unreadable.
Seeing this, the 'God' said no more and answered truthfully, "They have lost all memory of you. Ah, no, it should be said that everything about you in that world has been erased. In that world, an individual named Lin Lin never existed. They are now an older couple without children, and it seems they are preparing to make time to have a child."
Lin Lin smiled, the corners of his lips turning up slightly, a heartfelt, genuine smile. "That's good. Their child will definitely be outstanding. They will educate him well, make him successful and talented, and he will inherit their career and continue to achieve glory. Their perfect lives shouldn't have the blemish of failure. Very good, truly good..."
Clear tears slid from the corners of his smiling lips, falling onto his beautiful dress, dampening a blood-red butterfly... A moment later, Lin Lin, having returned to normal, looked up at the screen again and said, "Did you come here just to tell me this?"
"No way! Who would make a special trip for your trivial matters? I came here to complain about you, so you better listen carefully!" Hearing Lin Lin's usual reply, 'God' immediately regained his energetic demeanor.
"You have no idea that because of that little accident you caused, I was directly dismissed! Dismissed! A position I fought so hard to get from countless others! And on my very first assignment, you turned out to be such a problem. Not only was I dismissed, but I was also put in solitary confinement! Solitary confinement! Ah! And the date of my release is uncertain, maybe I won't be released until the multiverse is annihilated!"
"Even if I get out, I have to go back to school for remedial courses, with that old maid from the Parallel Universe Department who hasn't married in several eons. I'd rather fly into annihilation than see her again! And that old pervert from the Time Department..."
Watching 'God' on the screen jumping and shouting, crying and laughing, pulling his hair one moment, banging his head against the wall the next, and then lying on the floor rolling around. Although Lin Lin watched for a long time and still didn't understand what exactly happened, he felt like it was indeed quite miserable.
After a long time of frolicking, 'God' returned to the screen, and the first thing he saw was an exquisite loli looking at him with incredibly sympathetic and pitying eyes.
"Hey! What do you mean by that?! Why are you looking at me with such an expression?"
"Although I don't know what happened, this expression is just right for this moment."
'God' was so angry he almost passed out. He gasped for a few breaths on the side and finally recovered, saying to the camera, "In short, you just need to know that I've been terribly messed up because of you. So, to atone, you just need to get stronger quickly."
"Tch, easy to say. I want to too. What I lack most right now is strength. After all, I'm a transmigrator sent by you, and I don't even have a cheat. At least give me some benefits," Lin Lin said indignantly.
However, this remark was met with 'God's' infinite disdain. "I admit I didn't give you benefits, but if you say you don't have a cheat, I can only look at you with contempt. You're basically begging while sitting on a mountain of gold."
Lin Lin was stunned and quickly asked, "What do you mean?"
"Have you forgotten that you took a detour through the origin?"
"Nonsense, of course I remember."
"Then do you know how many benefits you reaped from the origin?"
"Isn't it just a few hundred more Magic Circuits than before, plus awakening an origin? While it's very good, it's only relative. These two things also exist in this world. Does that count as a cheat?"
"That's why I say you're ignorant. You're like a primitive person who found a thousand-year-old luminous pearl and only uses it as a light bulb. Do you know how terrifying the concept of 'Finale Magic Power' is?!" At this point, 'God' on the other side of the screen suddenly became agitated, slamming the table as if he was about to burst out of the screen and devour someone.
Lin Lin, however, looked bewildered and didn't know how to respond. Finale Magic Power—these two words together sounded incredibly profound, but the more profound something was, the more incomprehensible it became. How exactly was he supposed to use this?
"Listen carefully, you idiot. So-called Finale Magic Power is the end of everything! It is the point to which all people, events, and things, everything that exists, must return! It is the one to which all return! If the origin is the cause of everything, then you, as the Finale Magic Power, are the ultimate and sole effect of everything!"
Lin Lin was instantly struck as if by five thunderbolts, dumbfounded. Suddenly, a shiver ran down his spine, and he came back to his senses, leaning close to the screen and asking loudly, "Then if that's the case, wouldn't I become an enemy of the origin?!"
A sworn enemy of the origin. Wandering around in this world where the counter force of the origin has awakened, how is that different from seeking death?
'God' shook her head and sighed with a pained expression, "Alas, ignorance is indeed ignorance. Let me enlighten you. Listen carefully: everything, from the moment of its initial existence, is destined for an inevitable end. The end is the culmination of the beginning, and the beginning is the reincarnation of the end. The beginning and the Finale Magic Power are like two points on the diameter of a circle, absolutely opposite yet connected. Without the Finale Magic Power, the beginning cannot be defined; without the beginning, the Finale Magic Power cannot be discussed. You and the origin have such a relationship; you are distantly opposed yet mutually verifying."
Lin Lin breathed a sigh of relief. If he really were an enemy of the origin, then this play truly couldn't continue. Only twelve chapters had been written, and the author paid by the chapter. If the play ended before he even saved enough for a month's instant noodles, he'd truly have to go into the sea. Finding a job these days was harder than finding gold bricks. He finally managed to get a role in a production, and although the pay was pitifully small, at least he got a ten-yuan bento box morning and night, with food and lodging included and no need for casting couch... (Oops, seems like I said something inappropriate...)
"Of course, you don't need to gloat. You are still just a nobody who has just awakened the origin consciousness. The true 'Finale Magic Power' is the concept of origin that you flow upwards to, not you! But even so, your Finale Magic Power is already an unparalleled, invincible super ~ cheat!" 'God' shouted, emphasizing loudly while slamming the table, as if speaking up for all the hardworking and diligent Magicians.
Although you're shouting passionately, I completely don't understand what's going on... Lin Lin looked at the crazed 'God' on the screen with a baffled expression, feeling like she was so abnormal today.
Do gods also have female relatives who visit monthly?
