The atmosphere was very awkward for a while.
"No, I didn't expect you to know this name. But it's true, Ouroboros, if you have a wider range of knowledge, it's nothing to know this name, but what you know is at best only the things on the realistic level. In fact, in this game, Ouroboros..."
"... Actually, it runs through the entire main storyline, right?"
It’s hard to find a true friend: “… … .”
There is no way to continue the conversation today.
How is that possible!
"You actually noticed it? No, if you just noticed the clues, you can't be as sure as I am... You found the definite evidence!?"
"It's hardly evidence."
In fact, just from the main storyline that has been played one after another, there are all kinds of hints.
In the golden treasure of Naberis, the ring of life and the ring of death are themselves one of the symbols of Ouroboros. Of course, the hint at that time was still rather obscure and difficult for people to associate with it, but after that, in the lost Shambhala, the hint became quite obvious.
The four Shambhala secret treasures all bear the Ouroboros mark.
A snake that eats its own tail.
A mark that has nothing to do with Aurora appeared on Aurora's secret treasure. No matter how you think about it, it seems very strange, doesn't it
"If that's all you know, it's nothing special."
"uh-huh?"
"What---!!!"
It's hard to find a true friend. He was immediately furious! Are you looking down on me? Are you looking down on me
"The existence of Ouroboros also involves the intelligence of the gods. Did you know this?"
"... .Oh?"
Seeing Gu Moli raised his eyebrows, it’s hard to find a true friend’s eyes suddenly lit up.
I don’t know!
"Hehe, whatever. I'm going to share this information with you anyway. I got it from a very kind and gentle god who doesn't want to reveal his name... I mean, I asked him about it."
Thanks to that kind god.
Otherwise, he would not be able to advance to the fourth-level scholar.
That invitation is a real gem.
“There is actually a very large background setting for the gods in this game, but the story itself is very old-fashioned, which is the so-called battle between the new and old gods.”
"ah."
Gu Moli immediately showed a look of understanding when he heard this: "New and old gods? The chaotic and terrifying old gods were defeated by the new gods, and the new gods restored order. Almost every myth has a similar plot."
"That's right." Zhiji Nanxun nodded: "And Ouroboros is one of the New Gods."
"And he's one of the top leaders."
"You should know that there are only five official ranks open to players, from the fifth rank to the first rank. And it's not just the players who are classified this way. Most NPCs are also classified according to this rank. Gods are also on this list."
"I know, a second-level goddess, a first-level son of God... right?"
"... ..right."
It's hard to find a confidant and once again showed a twisted expression as if he was eating a fly alive.
"In short, this rank actually includes all the boss-level characters in the game, that is, the gods. And Ouroboros, who has been running through our main storyline so far, is the highest rank, that is, the first rank of the new god."
"But... this is just our main storyline."
"According to the information I got, different places and different players face different main storylines, or even completely different ones. But the only thing in common is that in their main storylines, there is also a mysterious existence that runs through the entire storyline."
"So I infer that every main storyline of this game should correspond to a new god!"
"... So?" Gu Moli touched his chin after hearing this: "What does this have to do with the current script?"
"Don't forget, the main storyline is coherent. It can be said that, unlike other scripts, the main storyline itself is built on a complete, huge worldview. To exaggerate, it is a world, and the corresponding new god is the god of that world."
"Then here comes the problem."
"What's the purpose of the main storyline? Is it just to give players a place to play? Impossible. This is the main storyline, and there must be a complete storyline. What exactly does the designer want players to do in this storyline? This is the key point."
"And considering the repeated hints about new gods in the script."
"I believe that in this main storyline, the new god Ouroboros is the key to whether or not you can truly complete the main storyline. It's just like many open world games. You have to collect all the keys and clues before you can open the treasure chest and challenge the devil."
"The same goes for the main storyline."
"Collect clues about Ouroboros in every main storyline, and then integrate them. Maybe these things don't seem useful at first glance, but when we reach the final level of this storyline and really face Ouroboros, they will definitely be effective!"
"So in the main storyline, you can't just think about clearing the level..."
"It is most important to dig deep into the information about Ouroboros!"
“This is a long-term benefit!”
It's hard to find a confidant. She told all her conclusions in one breath. She had actually been thinking about this for a long time, but she had never found anyone to talk to and discuss with. Now facing Gu Moli, the feeling of letting it all out made her quite satisfied. At the same time, she had another plan.
I am not omnipotent, and the inferences I make may not be free of errors.
What to do then
Wouldn't it be enough to find someone who has a similar way of thinking and personality to you to compare your answers with
"How about it?"
“… … .”
Facing the expectant gaze of a confidant, Gu Moli couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Let's not talk about whether your inference is right or wrong, just in this script, what are you going to do
"Is there any need to say that?"
It's hard to find a confidant. He waved his hand and said, "I found a mark related to Ouroboros in the emperor's base. If that's the case, how can we not find out the truth?"
"And don't you find it strange?"
"According to the main storyline we experienced before, this world should be divided into two international camps: the Kingdom and the Empire. The Kingdom develops magic, and the Empire develops science. There is nothing wrong with this, but the fact that Shiloh City is separated out is extremely special."
"First of all, the city of Hiro itself is independent of the two major camps. What is the basis for a city to do so?"
"Secondly, there are social phenomena in Hilo City. It's not uncommon for cities where magic and science coexist. Many commercial cities have similar signs. But only Hilo City has developed such a weird social ecology of superheroes and super criminals. Don't you think this is normal?"
Superhero
Super criminal
This kind of personal heroism is absolutely not true in the real world.
"Although this is a game in itself, from a worldview perspective, the phenomenon in Hiero City is still too abrupt, and it is obviously related to Ouroboros!"
"conspiracy!"
"The story behind this city is definitely not as simple as superheroes and super criminals. This is just a background to entertain players who are not interested in digging deeper. There is definitely a conspiracy behind it! And it directly involves the real core of the main storyline, the new god Ouroboros!"
"I see."
Gu Moli interrupted the increasingly excited Zhiji Nanxun and said, "To put it simply, you just want to go to the emperor's secret base and make a scene, right?"
"... .That's right."
Gu Moli put his hands in his pockets and curled his lips: "What are you waiting for? Let's go."
"Will you come with me?"
"... You said all this just to arouse my curiosity and trick me into joining you."
"Oh, you don't really understand. I thought you were going to say something like 'It's just a game anyway, it doesn't matter what happens to Ouroboros'."
"no way."
Gu Moli spread his hands and said, "I am also a man who has just traveled through time once. I can't take this game lightly anymore."
Besides... ..
"It's rare that you beg me in such a roundabout way. If I don't agree, I will be unreasonable."
"Who begged you?"
