Chapter 302: I Add Bricks and Tiles to the Space
The entire scene of the Ys Origin dungeon was frozen at the moment Demon King Darm's body was incinerated, but the only active units in the arena were Cheng Tian and the Twin Goddesses, who remained in a Trinity state with Cheng Tian.
At this very moment, the dungeon was between the clear settlement and the final BOSS battle's conclusion, a time-stop series enjoyed exclusively by Cheng Tian and his subordinate units.
And based on the Sun and Moon Radiance contract, the Twin Goddesses, who should have been mere NPC deities, also gained permission to act, and were subsequently infused with some information by the Space.
With Xing Tian, who had the combined power of the Vengeful Angel and the Dark Angel, Cheng Tian directly burned away Demon King Darm's HP, which was dependent on the Root of Evil, but he still hadn't completely severed the possibility of his resurrection. The reason was simple—
Cheng Tian, still completely dark, silently pulled out the dungeon key from his inventory, which had also been synchronized into the world view as the "Black Pearl Shard."
This was a divine artifact shard, and it also contained the missing part of the Root of Evil.
In other words, Demon King Darm's last root of existence was within this shard.
However, there was no need to worry. The moment Cheng Tian pulled out this shard, Demon King Darm's HP, which had been lit like a candle by the Eye of Judgment, extended to this shard. A soul-piercing shriek erupted from the shard, clearly Cain Fact's final struggle under the flame judgment.
The Twin Goddesses had complex expressions, while Cheng Tian shook his head, enjoying Cain's mournful cries.
The Eye of Judgment would make the judged relive their past sins in a cycle. Cain Fact's greatest sin was, as the head of the Six High Priests, guiding monsters and allowing them to rampage freely across the land of Ys.
The suffering and harm those poor people endured facing the monsters were now returning to Cain, every bit of it, and amplified a million times over.
And through their Trinity resonance with Cheng Tian, the two goddesses naturally saw and understood the true effect of the Eye of Judgment.
The two goddesses indeed possessed extraordinary kindness, but some matters cannot be openly discussed. If they couldn't see it, no matter how much others spoke, it would be futile. But when the bloody tragedies that the people of Ys were forced to endure due to Cain's selfish desires were laid bare before their eyes, the goddesses' hearts hardened completely.
"In the name of the Blue Moon / Red Moon, we permanently strip 'Cain Fact' of his position as High Priest of the Heart."
The Twin Goddesses looked with firm eyes at the Black Pearl shard. Inside the shard, Cain's soul, already burned to a crisp like thoroughly scorched charcoal, saw its last spark of fire completely extinguish.
The shard was purified and slowly merged with the main body of the Black Pearl.
As long as humanity exists, the Black Pearl will continue to absorb and draw negative emotions from humans, and the Root of Evil will regenerate. But Cain Fact will no longer be a part of it.
The Eye of Judgment made the Root of Evil disappear from the world of Ys Origin for an instant. Although it was only an instant, it was enough to completely sever its connection to everything in the past.
[The divine artifact Black Pearl has been fully restored. The old Root of Evil has been completely annihilated, and a new Root of Evil will regenerate.]
[Due to the surge in magic power received by the Twin Goddesses under the "Sun and Moon Radiance" contract, they can suppress the Root of Evil within the Black Pearl even without sacrificing themselves. Preliminary estimates suggest that the next period of Root of Evil rampage will be after year 805 of the Ys Origin timeline.]
[Note: As you collect fragments of the Sun God Gem, the feedback amplification to the Twin Goddesses through the "Sun and Moon Radiance" contract effect will gradually increase their control over the Black Pearl. When your Sun God Gem fragment collection rate reaches 100%, the Twin Goddesses will perfectly control the divine artifact Black Pearl and the derived Root of Evil, with no possibility of rampage.]
[The current "Ys Origin" dungeon you are in will be separated from the original worldline and become a special dungeon completely independent of the Ys system.
Some NPCs closely related to you will gain uniqueness and become original entities, such as the Twin Goddesses Fina of the Red Moon, Reah of the Blue Moon, and Hugo Fact.]
[Detecting that you and the Twin Goddesses are in a "Sun and Moon Radiance" contract state—]
[Detecting that you have indirectly gained partial usage rights over the divine artifact "Black Pearl," equivalent to completing the relevant "Holy Grail Mission"—]
[You have gained the qualification to provide additional opinions and suggestions for the independent dungeon "Ys Origin". Before leaving the current dungeon, you can submit relevant applications to the Space at any time.]
Hmm?
Upon seeing this prompt, Cheng Tian was first slightly stunned, an interesting expression appearing in his eyes. Only then did he click on the specific entries for a more detailed, line-by-line inquiry.
First, there was the explanation regarding NPC uniqueness and original entities.
In Heaven's Chosen Space, different players can experience the same game dungeons without interfering with each other.
To use Makaimura as an example, if a player establishes a good relationship with Arthur, or even triggers a side quest to take Arthur away, it does not affect players in other dungeons from doing the same thing. Theoretically, Heaven's Chosen Space can have multiple Arthurs existing as player followers; they are independent entities and do not interfere with each other.
But when an NPC gains uniqueness, the situation becomes vastly different.
If the Twin Goddesses possess uniqueness and original entity attributes, it means that even if other "Ys Origin" dungeons appear in the future, the Twin Goddesses NPCs that should exist within them will become projections of the original entity. Even their personalities, memories, styles of action, and even the entire dungeon's progression will be influenced by the original entity.
That is, starting from Cheng Tian, the Twin Goddesses in future Ys Origin dungeons will be projections of those who formed the Sun and Moon Radiance contract with Cheng Tian. And their projections will most likely directly bypass the process of delivering the divine artifact to the enemy. It is highly probable that they will directly imitate the main body by building towers on the spot, recreating the scene of the Two Towers clashing.
This influence could even extend to potential future "Ys I" and "Ys II" dungeons.
Of course, whether Ys Origin at that time will be PVE or PVP is uncertain; it all depends on the dungeon modifiers given when the quest is refreshed.
The situation with the Twin Goddesses is not an isolated case; "Kiri," who is responsible for equipment enhancement instruments in Heaven's Chosen Space, is such an existence.
After confirming the uniqueness and original entities, Cheng Tian quickly submitted his modification suggestions for the independent dungeon, and Heaven's Chosen Space's feedback was extremely fast, almost instantly returning a prompt to Cheng Tian.
[Heaven's Chosen Space has accepted some of your proposals.]
[The independent dungeon "Ys Origin" will appear as the "Black and White Twin Towers" in the player training area on the north side of Heaven's Chosen Space, serving as a challenge facility.]
At the same time, the lingering players in Heaven's Chosen Space involuntarily let out exclamations of surprise, because two towering giant towers, one black and one white, rose from the ground and appeared out of thin air before everyone's eyes.
