Chapter 303
It was clearly a protective emotion, but it gave birth to a group of gargoyles. Negri observed the objects that were born from the future: "Is it because everything would become distorted after the timeline was destroyed?"
After that, 'Negary' conducted various emotional experiments on this fragment of the timeline, continuously removing the distortions and restoring the true nature of that timeline.
A normal timeline shouldn't have all negative emotions, but due to the destruction of the timeline, everything had become distorted, and the negative effects of its destruction were too great.
Naturally, the destruction didn't only produce negative emotions, which caused this fragment to become distorted. The indescribable entity hidden within the fragment also played a decisive role.
The reason Negri corrected these distorted experiments was to adapt to this indescribable power.
At first, when he observed the indescribable entity moving, a large amount of information flowed into his soul germs, forcing him to give up a portion of his soul germs. During this period of time, the germs that carried the indescribable information had undergone an unknown mutation.
What Negri needed to do was to understand this distortion, once again accept the parts of the germs that he had abandoned and analyze the indescribable information contained within.
This existence that surpassed the Seven Gods, an existence that wasn't much different from the White Light Black Abyss, even a single action from it would be enough for Negri to benefit greatly, not much less than conquering an entire world.
As he continued to study and correct this, the entire fragment of information was revealed to Negri.
The meteors that fell from the sky not only brought about destruction, but also new signs of life, which slightly altered the structure of the world.
Living flesh and blood beings weren't born, instead, the rocks were given the chance to become living beings.
On the other side of the world, the rocks there were true living beings. They interacted with each other, generating emotions, and when a certain emotion erupted, they would leave this side of the world and return to the reality, becoming living statues.
And according to the different emotions, the living statues would also have different appearances and abilities.
Every rock was a fetus of this world, their wills fighting on the other side of the world, only those that stood out would be able to appear in this world.
They had no parents, no siblings, no kinship.
Relying on the various abilities derived from their emotional outbursts, the living statue civilization flourished for a time.
They treated the anomalies as Wondrous Artifacts, but did not establish any containment measures. During the final outbreak of the anomalies, the structure of Space-Time was altered, the statue civilization was no longer able to survive and their Timeline was destroyed.
The wreckage of this world line sank into the Dark World and was gradually distorted. Then, it was guided by the Dark Sword this time and returned to this world that did not belong to them, forming the stone statue effect.
Negri did not stop after obtaining the general information of the stone statue civilization. The reason why the remains of the Timeline were reduced to such a state was because this Timeline did not even have the ability to leave a mark.
Due to the unique method of giving birth to emotions, the Stone Statue Civilization created a large number of stone statues, and they were born with considerable power. However, because each stone statue only had a single emotion, the entire Stone Statue Civilization was rigid and boring.
In the end, the stone statues didn't completely unify. The stone statues with various emotions operated rigidly according to their own emotions, so it wasn't surprising that the World Line was destroyed in the end.
In fact, they didn't even notice the uniqueness of this world, which was why they were powerless against the destruction of the Timeline, unlike the Lizardmen and the other races who were able to leave behind anomalies like the Lizardmen's skull and plan for the Timeline to change.
Negri's emotions were constantly pouring into the information of this remnant of the World Line.
Throughout Negri's journey, he had encountered countless enemies with strong willpower, and it was thanks to them that Negri understood the emotions of humans very well.
"The unwillingness of the Timeline's destruction, the desire to live, the fear of death, and the stubborn desire to live" Negri was injecting the corresponding emotions into the remnant, constantly controlling the creation of new effects.
Naturally, it wouldn't do to create an effect that would continue to occupy a certain part of Space-Time and interfere with Negri's infection of the entire world. Thus, Negri combined his own knowledge with his own research on this remnant of the Timeline and began to modify this remnant.
Finally, a stone demon mask that was full of cracks appeared in Negri's hand. Negri personally modified it into an anomaly that could change the Timeline. If the living statues operated it well, they could even restore their own Timeline.
Using this thing to trigger a change in the Timeline would allow Negri to further observe certain things in that Timeline. As for whether or not they could restore their own Timeline, even Negri couldn't say for sure.
Casually tossing the stone demon mask away, Negri turned into a golden radiance that spread throughout the entire world.
A human who had just returned from a hunt discovered this mask. He was in a daze, his hand that was holding onto a bow and arrow was trembling. Just now, he had shot his comrade in the leg, allowing his comrade to attract the attention of the deformed creature, which allowed him to escape from the monster's grasp.
His entire body was trembling, the joy of escaping death and the guilt of betraying his comrade caused him to be unable to look himself in the eye. He felt like he had become a stranger, unsure of what he should be doing right now, whether he should be laughing happily or crying in sorrow.
He looked at the stone demon mask in his hand and put it on his own face. He felt extremely repulsive, but he couldn't muster the courage to commit suicide. Wearing the mask and hiding himself behind it might make him feel a bit better.
In truth, everyone in life was this contradictory. We weren't pure. This person wanted to live, so he harmed his comrade, but he couldn't be so heartless as to not feel a bit of guilt. On the contrary, he felt a great deal of pain.
The person under the mask slowly changed. He raised his bow and arrow and walked back to his tribe, his grip on the bow and arrow tightened.
On one hand, my guilt towards my dead comrade; on the other hand, I'm afraid of being criticized by my comrade's family, as well as the cold eyes of the other villagers. The person's expression under the mask became more and more morbid.
Due to the Earthbound's effect, this person didn't turn into a stone statue out of guilt. Instead, he underwent an unknown mutation due to the stone demon mask's transformation.
Returning to his tribe before nightfall, this person took off the mask, but the face under the mask was filled with fake panic, as if he was wearing another mask.
Putting the stone demon mask into his animal skin bag, this person walked to the tribe's gate with a panicked expression, attracting the attention of the guards. Amidst a flurry of questions, he temporarily returned to his home.
