Chapter 4231 Introduction
Even Laplace couldn't analyze it, let alone this wisp of demonic divine thought.
Of course, this does not mean that Laplace's analytical ability is stronger than the divine sense of the demon god. The main reason is that... Laplace's physical body is involved when analyzing the fantasy alchemy.
Its inherent power is extremely profound. What is most terrifying is that the computing power it can bear has reached an unimaginable level.
Even though this wisp of divine thought from the Echo Library possessed the insights of a cruel scholar, its computing power was greatly reduced due to the lack of a physical entity to support it.
In terms of computing power, it is far inferior to Laplace.
When analyzing unknown knowledge, insight is important, but computing power is even more important.
If Laplace's own computing power couldn't analyze the illusionary alchemy, then this wisp of demonic divine thought was even less likely to succeed.
So after considering all this, Angor discovered that "fantasy alchemy" was indeed very suitable as a sealing medium.
He wasn't one to overthink things; after a moment of contemplation, he had already made up his mind.
……
“Madam Observer, may I ask you a question?” Angell suddenly spoke up.
“Of course, but there’s no need to address me so formally as ‘Madam.’ Just call me the Observer, or the Book Fairy, either is fine.” The Book Fairy turned to look at Angor. She had witnessed this wise man overcome the Book Spirits’ trials one after another and greatly admired his insight. Naturally, she was also very curious about what kind of questions he, as the wise man of the Rabbit Hole, would ask.
"I'm curious about something. In my understanding, 'knowledge' is a set of organized things, such as having clear concepts and standardized logic. There's no problem with us looking for such knowledge, but once we find it, are we supposed to clarify all its concepts and standardizations, and then stuff it all into the mind of the demon god so that He can fully understand it?"
"Of course not. If it were really as you say, wouldn't that just throw the answer at Him? How would we seal it then?" The book fairy explained seriously, "Sealing a demon god's thoughts doesn't require such detailed knowledge. You just need to give Him the relevant information, and with the added power of the sealing array, He will naturally become engrossed in the research."
"However, it is important to note that the 'introduction' to this knowledge must be real; never use false knowledge to test it."
"As a wisp of divine thought of the cruel scholar, although its power cannot compare with the original body, its innate authority has not diminished, and no fabricated knowledge can escape its eyes."
In other words, if they do find a kind of knowledge that can be used as a "seal," you don't even need to explain everything; just stating the general concept will suffice as the basis for the seal.
However, because ruthless scholars can see through the truth of knowledge, it absolutely cannot be fabricated knowledge, not even if it is nine parts true and one part false.
Angel nodded knowingly: "I understand, thank you for the observer's explanation."
The book fairy waved her hand dismissively, then surveyed the crowd: "Does anyone else have any questions about this?"
Seeing that no one spoke, the book fairy said, "Since you have no more questions, my suggestion remains the same: you can go out and seek knowledge."
"I will do my best to stay here and block other challenge teams that want to enter the perfect mode."
"We await your return."
In the past, the Book Fairy might have placed bets on various challenger teams.
But now that it's confirmed that Rabbit Hole is the top team and they are willing to completely seal the Demon God's divine will... Under these circumstances, the Book Fairy naturally places all her hopes on the Rabbit Hole team.
Now, if other challenger teams try to enter the perfect completion mode, they'll only cause trouble; even if the seal is truly sealed, it won't be a perfect seal. Therefore, she plans to use her persuasive skills to stop all teams from going to the perfect mode; if persuasion doesn't work... then she'll have to use her authority a little.
Or perhaps, the difficulty of the Book Sprite's challenge is secretly increased along the challenger's journey...
In short, the Book Fairy has now made up her mind to use every means to stop the other teams and wait for the Rabbit Hole to reopen for the challenge.
Angel shook his head slightly: "No need, let's enter perfect completion mode now."
"Eh?"
"what?"
The surprised exclamations came from Gray Porcelain and Gabriel, while the confused voice came from the Book Fairy.
Clearly, both his teammates and observers were puzzled by Angel's decision.
"You're going to challenge the perfect mode now?" The book fairy asked anxiously. "But... but you haven't found the knowledge of the seal yet! Don't you plan to attempt the perfect seal?"
“Yes, Mr. Angell must make a careful decision!” Even Gray Porcelain tried to dissuade him.
Angel shook his head slightly, about to explain, when the rabbit girl spoke first: "Have you decided?"
Angel pondered for a moment and said, "The decision you're referring to is that I should challenge the perfect mode right now?"
The rabbit girl shook her head: "No, you should know what I'm asking about."
Angell gave her a deep look and nodded slightly: "Yes, I've made up my mind. After all, wasn't it you who reminded me of this?"
If the rabbit girl hadn't suddenly mentioned "alchemy," Angel wouldn't have suddenly thought of his own fantasy alchemy.
Therefore, it is highly likely that the rabbit girl had already thought of "paradoxical alchemy" before Angor made his decision.
The rabbit girl lowered her head, her fingertips gently clutching the hem of her clothes. After a long while, she whispered, "Will you blame me?"
Angell was taken aback, initially not understanding what she meant by "blame." But looking at the rabbit girl's cautious eyes, he seemed to understand something after a moment of confusion.
She had long considered the idea of utopian alchemy, but didn't say it directly. She only subtly hinted at it when discussing the duration of spell training, using the term "alchemy" as a pretext. This was because she considered that this knowledge was unique to Angor, and that such knowledge was undoubtedly priceless.
Now that Angel has actually decided to use it to seal it, she, who was the one who first warned her, is now uneasy.
The source of this unease is subtle and complex.
In short, the rabbit girl was afraid of her "captain," which made her unconsciously "demand" things from Angell, causing him to sacrifice his unique knowledge.
It is a subtle emotion that is intertwined with a sense of responsibility and a sense of morality.
But Angel didn't actually mind.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with the rabbit girl's reminder; in fact, from his perspective, the rabbit girl was a hero for finding a solution.
Most importantly, if Angor had truly sacrificed a unique piece of knowledge for this, he might have harbored resentment. But that wasn't actually the case. He was almost certain that the knowledge of "illusory alchemy" was something that the divine will of the demon gods could never decipher; it was a power that seemed universal but actually possessed "uniqueness."
Since the other party can't analyze it, what's the harm in saying it?
and--
Angor never truly hid his ideas about utopian alchemy. He demonstrated and explained the concepts in detail, whether in front of Laplace, Algalon, or Napoli and others.
But this technology is too advanced; no one can replicate it, not even get close to the basics.
Therefore, all Angell had to do was to convey the concepts he had mentioned to these people to the cruel scholar's wisp of demonic divine thought.
In his view, this was not considered a leak of knowledge, nor was he worried about it being analyzed by Him.
If Angell were to analyze something, he might actually be quite pleased, since he still holds this wisp of demonic divine thought in his hands.
Perhaps, we can even use Him as an "external research tool," learning from His work to advance our own imaginary alchemy.
In short, Angell didn't think much about it and didn't care at all.
However, this incident gave Angell a deeper understanding of the rabbit girl.
Previously, his understanding of the bunny girl was that she liked all kinds of bunny-shaped things, which was a child's innocence and a natural preference for cute things.
Today, Ingres sees even more "childlike" qualities in her.
They possess both an inexplicable, exceptionally meticulous sense of responsibility and an intuitive sensitivity, capable of feeling guilty at the slightest unease, even in the most subtle corners of their being.
In comparison, she and the shrewd and composed Gleipnir are truly two completely opposite extremes.
If Gleipnir were here, he would probably subtly remind "Daydreaming Alchemy," but he would definitely not feel any unease afterward.
If it were Laplace or Luigi, they wouldn't beat around the bush. When they think of "illusory alchemy" as a seal, they would just say it directly, and they wouldn't feel guilty either.
These are the qualities that Laplace possessed at different times, unrelated to personality, but solely related to the psychological state corresponding to his age.
"Blame you?" Angel smiled brightly at the rabbit girl, speaking sincerely and frankly, "Blame? Why would I blame you? Your reminder reminded me of the sealing medium, which is definitely a good thing."
"So, not only will we not blame you, we should praise you!"
Angel gave a thumbs up, grinning broadly, his teeth gleaming as if they were sparkling: "Once we get out of here, I'll build a rabbit park right here in Rabbit Town. It's a reward for your intelligence."
The rabbit girl, who had been hesitant and cautious, paused when she heard Angel's clear voice, which seemed to carry the warmth of sunshine.
I looked up blankly and felt as if I saw light.
Hmm... real light.
Angel picked up a book sprite. The light emanating from the book sprite illuminated his expression, making it even clearer and revealing no trace of pretense.
The rabbit girl stood there stunned for several seconds before lowering her head somewhat shyly and saying in a barely audible voice, "Thank you... Brother Angel."
Angell smiled and nodded slightly.
Ever since the rabbit girl took on the role of "leader," she always thought about being calm and responsible, and she also became more concerned about her reputation, so she rarely called him "brother" anymore.
Now, this long-lost form of address is more direct than any words. The unease she felt—the fear of overstepping boundaries and causing trouble—has finally been truly put to rest.
However, while they were relieved, Gray Porcelain and Book Fairy were still completely bewildered.
What kind of show is this?
Riddler, get out of the Echo Library!
While internally complaining, Gray Porcelain raised her hand and asked, "Can I ask what you guys are talking about? What 'deciding or not deciding'?"
The book fairy nodded silently beside her; she was also curious.
At this moment, Gabriel spoke up quietly: "You used to mock me for being stupid in the levels, but now I realize that you are the real fool."
Gray Porcelain was taken aback, then turned around and glared angrily: "What did you say?"
Gabriel sighed, "Can't you understand? I mean, are you stupid! I understand what the commander and Mr. Angell mean..."
Gray Porcelain was about to get angry, but after hearing the rest, a look of doubt appeared on its face: "You understand too?"
Am I the only one who didn't understand?
Why?
Am I really stupid? Or is Gabriel bluffing me?
Gabriel noticed Gray Porcelain's doubts, but instead of explaining immediately, it extended its tentacles and placed its "illusion doll" in front of Gray Porcelain.
The illusion doll, with its exquisite features, calmly stared at the gray porcelain doll and said, "Do you understand now?"
Gray Porcelain: "???"
The illusion puppet stretched out its hand, pointed to itself, from its feet to its waist, and then from its waist to its head: "Me! Me! Look carefully at what I am!"
Gray Porcelain: "You're Gabriel."
The illusion doll sighed: "That's right, I am Gabriel, but do you remember what this doll is?"
"Isn't this the illusion doll that Mr. Angel gave you? It allows you to speak freely. You mentioned it before... You also told me before that in reality, Mr. Angel used his fantasy alchemy to create a similar illusion doll for you. I remember all of that." Gray Porcelain was quite confident in its memory, but after saying that, it still didn't react.
The book fairy next to him seemed to have caught the key words.
"Imaginary alchemy?" The book fairy remembered that the leader of the Rabbit Hole had suddenly mentioned "alchemy" to Angor before, and then Angor fell into deep thought. After that, he decided to immediately try to complete the perfect playthrough mode.
Could it be related to this?
The whispers of the book fairy, in turn, startled Gray Porcelain awake.
Only then did Gray Porcelain slowly realize what was happening. Its eyes widened as it looked at the illusion doll: "Imaginary alchemy?"
The illusion puppet nodded.
Gray Porcelain turned to the rabbit girl and asked, "Captain, was the riddle you were playing just now...?"
The rabbit girl said with certainty, "That's right, fantasy alchemy."
Gray Porcelain seemed still unsure and looked at Angell again.
Angel didn't look at the gray porcelain, but instead looked at the book fairy: "We are going to seal the demon god's thoughts now, because I have a knowledge that can be used for sealing."
The book fairy looked up blankly, her tone slightly puzzled: "...Imaginary alchemy?"
Angell nodded: "Yes, utopian alchemy."
