Lord of the Silver Crow

The earth and everything collapsed.

It's not just the earth.

Yago stood in the dark and dark nest, and in his field of vision, the dark and dark, dark and dark nest was gradually collapsing.

Here, it is surprisingly similar to the "eternal nightmare".

only......

This place, this "laod", seems to be mixed with other things.

Or... more primitive?

Yago silently stared at this constantly collapsing "lest".

"Dreamland", "cognition", "time", and "shadow" are all products of subdivision.

Here, the nest itself has not undergone this step of "differentiation" or "cutting".

This is the difference between this "lest" and the "eternal dream".

When the "lair" continued to collapse, Yago looked at the light and shadow that was constantly breaking apart, and contrasted, and came to this conclusion.

However, it can also be reversed-

This "nest" is a combination of "dreams", "shadows", "cognition", "time" and other elements.

But there is no doubt.

This place is related to "Master Lu".

Yago once again gathered power, the power of the probability pathway and the necromantic pathway, in the form of shadows, gathered in his hands.

He wants to try it.

I don't know how long it took, and in his sight, this huge light and dark nest, which could not be evaluated by a specific size, finally collapsed to the last piece.

It was at this moment that Yago used his abilities--

The silk-like, hinge-like shadows shot toward the huge, collapsing light and shadow.

Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe his goal was that.

A dark cloak, pulled with the chains condensed by his shadow, came into his hands.

Almost the moment the cloak appeared in his hands, the entire nest of light and shadow collapsed completely.

Yago's body fell out of this strange place like an independent space.

The feeling of dead silence, as if able to suppress all dynamic things, once again enveloped Yago, as if to completely block him in this dead ocean.

And Yago subconsciously draped the pitch-black cloak on his body.

Unreal and hazy.

Like a dream, all the feelings, whether it was depression or something else, disappeared from Yago's body.

.......

The dark, empty robe was suspended in the dead sea.

There was no face at all from under that hood, only a vague and illusory darkness.

This is a very strange feeling, which is somewhat similar to the feeling that Yago has experienced that after passing through the ignorance and cutting off all the perception channels from the outside world, only the sense of time still exists.

But they are not exactly the same.

how to say......

"Watchmen".

Yes, it feels like a "gatekeeper".

The feeling of "non-existence".

Everything in the outside world has no interaction with him.

However, the difference is that although everything in the outside world cannot affect him, he cannot interact with everything in the outside world either.

This feeling is more like the feeling of being out of the current time and unable to interact with everything at this time.

Soon, he thought of what he had encountered before, in the mechanical kingdom, that seemed to be a shadow snake that was about to attack him, a shadow snake that he could not influence with his own power.

Yes, "it seems".

From the current perspective, Yago re-examined whether the shadow snake was about to "attack" himself.

However, there is still no result.

He "touched" the dark cloak on his body.

It is the power of "time".

It is the creation of the power of the "dream" pathway or the "eternal sleep" pathway.

However, it is higher than his current level.

Do not......

More precisely, there is no "level", no "level".

This cloak does not have a "level hierarchy" in the usual sense, and there is no high or low positioning.

But why do I feel that this cloak is "higher than my own level"?

Yago tried to find out the reason again and again.

However, over and over again, he still couldn't figure out the reason.

In desperation, he can only derive hypotheses from the situation he felt--

"Perhaps it is the chronological effect."

He observes this cloak with the senses of "time life" in order to perceive the corresponding situation.

Then, the reason may be "sequence".

In terms that most people can understand, this cloak is "older" than him.

More "past" than the time he was.

Although he tried to explain this kind of words as simply as possible, it was not so easy to understand.

As a general life, what is used to evaluate a living thing?

healthier"?

More "vigorous"?

More "tall"?

smarter"?

stronger"?

It is necessary to rank general organisms. Wisdom may be the most commonly used. Physical fitness such as strength and speed is also a common classification standard. Age may also be an option.

So, what should be used to evaluate the life form of "time life"?

"How old is it"?

A standard that is paradoxical and "age".

Because, for ordinary life, "age" does not actually mean "time".

Because of "old age and weaker body", because of "older age and more experience", because of "older age and decreased mental agility"...

It is not directly expressing the "time" of this creature, but using "time" as a reference scale to compare other elements.

To choose a more general standard that can involve most situations, perhaps it is "vitality"?

But this standard is not stable enough. After all, "vitality" cannot be observed by ordinary life.

This is a similar situation in the body of "time life".

Yago can observe the "shadows" of himself including other things at different times, but he cannot observe "time" itself.

Even, it can be said that from his perspective, "time" does not exist.

Time is just the "order" of specific units on an individual.

"the complexity"?

Yago regretted that he hadn't read more books on logic at this time.

He can feel that this "cloak" is "higher" than himself, but he can't clearly confirm "which level" or "which level" is higher.

He has to generalize in general, he only has the answer that seems to be related to "time life", "oldness".

However, if you really understand it from "ancient", it will probably be understood as "this thing is older than him", but this understanding is wrong.

However, when he kept observing the cloak, he roughly summed up one thing.

That is, the various "features" on this cloak are not as clear as on his own.

To use an inadequate example as a metaphor...

This cloak is a log, and he is a concrete, processed wood product.

Although not accurate enough, this is the closest explanation Yago can think of now.
