Chapter 257 Broly: I call you the strongest!
Fanlou is very special; as a divine being, its power is both strong and weak.
His strength or weakness is reflected in the concepts he possesses.
As the primordial god, Fanlou possesses two unique concepts:
One meaning is "suspicion," which refers to doubt about everything and everything.
The second is 【夸戏】, which is the confirmation of something that is suspected.
The two concepts are not very useful on their own, but when combined, they represent the ability to alter reality.
Fanlou is strong because he can use the conceptual ability of "doubt" to make a unilateral choice about things.
Then, using the conceptual ability of "praise and play," one can make a final confirmation of the things one has chosen.
And what has been confirmed will be realized.
It sounds like a powerful ability to make your wishes come true, right? And it is.
However, because of the concept of "suspicion", Fanlou has serious suspicion, that is, difficulty in making choices.
When a choice cannot be made, the confirmation ability of [Praise Play] cannot be activated.
The fact that a god cannot use conceptual abilities is the reason for His weakness.
. . . .
"By the way, is He even more powerful than the God of War?"
After learning about the capabilities of the Sail Tower concept, Rick made this guess.
"Is it that impressive?"
Kloni glanced over there and saw the fifth dragon spirit head that had already been created.
"The ability to create food out of thin air is truly amazing!"
She nodded, forced to agree with Rick's statement.
"Dora, is that all you see?"
"Isn't this what you meant?"
"Of course not. When I said Lord Fanlou was amazing, I meant his unreasonable conceptual abilities."
To help his older sister understand better, Rick gave a hypothetical example.
"Suppose that the God of War is still alive and we have to face Him, then the God of War might not even get to see Him before He eliminates him..."
It's not that Rick thought the opponent was weak just because the God of War died, but rather that Fanlou's abilities are theoretically that exaggerated.
As long as He doubts the existence of the God of War, and confirms the doubt brought about by this suspicion using His own concept of "praise and mockery".
Therefore, the God of War might be directly penetrated through his very soul by the power that alters reality because he is confirmed to not exist.
Unlike the God of War who became a super numerical monster by relying on conceptual mechanisms, Fanlou is a purely conceptual mechanism monster in this world. He can crush numerical monsters by relying solely on the mechanism ability brought by his own concept.
The only uncertainty is whether Fanlou's conceptual abilities can be applied to other deities, but it seems likely that they can.
After all, Fanlou once killed himself after inadvertently confirming his own suspicions because he doubted his own existence.
"If He can skillfully utilize His own conceptual abilities, then He is both a creator god and a destroyer god."
We are born from thoughts, and we die from thoughts; everything in this world is determined by a single thought.
"Lord Fanlou, you're strong, invincible!"
Hughie raised her hands and cheered for her creator, albeit with a blank expression.
"But the premise is that the other party has enough decisiveness."
Rick added.
But this is precisely what Fanlou lacks.
Because of his suspicion, Fanlou harbors doubts about everything in the world. Unable to easily trust anything, his ability to exaggerate is ineffective.
The reason they can now frantically replicate the dragon spirit's head is because they've borrowed Jibril's choice.
【Please hope】This ability to fulfill the wishes of others is less a third concept of Fanlou, and more a concept derived from the other party's concept of 【praise】.
In other words, Fanlou can achieve the result of fulfilling other people's wishes by confirming that others strongly believe in the existence of something or expect a certain situation to occur.
"The all-powerful Wishing Princess..."
This is Rick's assessment of Fanlou, although he doesn't know how strong his desire would have to be for Fanlou to help him fulfill it.
But looking at the endless stream of dragon spirit heads being replicated over there, Rick felt that the standard probably wasn't too high.
Even if we cannot achieve the wish for world peace, then we can still wish for more food or more security for our communities.
If they had encountered Fanlou long ago, perhaps humanity wouldn't have suffered so many casualties, so many tragic separations and deaths...
Rick's thoughts raced, and his expression turned sour.
Hughie noticed and called out to him, which brought him back to his senses.
Rick smiled wryly; the idea of encountering Fanlou ahead of time was a false premise to begin with.
He only began to hope for change because he saw the power of the sail tower.
"Wait, since Fanlou can replicate the head of a dragon spirit, can he also repair the missing parts of Rick's body?"
"Clonie asked suddenly."
"Yes, how come I didn't think of that? If the will is strong enough, could He even resurrect the dead?"
Upon hearing this, Rick was first taken aback, then overjoyed.
When the Dragon Essence Head was being copied to its ninth form, Rick interrupted Fanlou's copying process.
Using a similar posture to when he knelt before Broly, he prostrated himself before Hanro.
"Please, Lord Fanlou, grant our wish."
Rick wasn't the only one kneeling; Sophie and Klonie were also kneeling.
Hughie was a perfect example of a wife who followed her husband's lead.
Rick and Chloe, on the other hand, genuinely wanted to make amends for the regrets that had occurred in the human settlement in the past, and wanted to bring back some of their deceased companions.
Fanlou did not refuse the three's requests. Kloni was the person who had recently played chess with Him, and Shubi was a machine race that had answered many of His questions. Fanlou was not opposed to granting their wishes.
As for Rick? Well, he's just a dispensable addition, at least in Fanlou's eyes, not a very important figure.
"Then, Lord Fanlou, please restore the missing parts of Riku's body first."
Shubi and Chloe made wishes upon the sail tower. As white light enveloped Rick's body, Rick felt a tingling sensation in the areas where his limbs were missing.
"It's so itchy~"
Rick tore off the bandage on his left arm and started scratching, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, a hand grew out, enveloped in white light, along with an eye from his left eye socket.
"I've recovered! I've recovered!"
Rick touched his new arm and rubbed his newly grown left eye vigorously, looking excited.
If even injuries like this can be healed, does that mean it's possible to bring the dead back to life?
"Please bring back to life the people I know..."
"Please bring back to life those who died with unwavering resolve..."
"Please bring Nonna's father back to life..."
However, Rick subsequently made three more wishes for resurrection, each with a decreasing number of resurrected individuals, but none of them came true.
"Is it that our desire wasn't strong enough?"
Rick's face gradually lost its earlier excitement, and he asked the question with a somewhat pale expression.
Fanlou first shook his head, then nodded.
"What do you mean?"
Rick couldn't understand what He meant.
"Waaah..."
Fanlou looked troubled, as if he didn't know how to explain.
He asks more questions than he answers them.
"He means that your desire is strong enough, but the quantity is insufficient."
Jibril, however, stepped in to explain to Rick on behalf of the troubled Fanlou.
When her wish was granted, Jibril could sense that something was being taken from her body.
I didn't think about it carefully before, but now that I think about it, it must be the power of the soul and will.
Where do the soul and will reside? For humans, it is the body, but for other races, it can also be elven power.
Rick's desire to resurrect his deceased family and companions is strong enough, but as a human, his soul power is probably less than one millionth of that of the Skywing race, and even less than that of Broly's soul from a higher-dimensional world.
"In other words, your soul power is insufficient, which prevents you from triggering the Sail Tower and its ability to grant your wishes."
"But haven't my hands and my eyes recovered already?"
Rick did not agree with Jibril's statement.
In response, Jibril turned her gaze to Schwi.
"I don't know if the Machine Race had a soul in the past, but now that she has self-awareness, she definitely has a soul, and she must have a strong desire to restore your damaged body."
However, I might not have such a strong desire to resurrect other people, as you mentioned, am I right?
She asked Hugh.
Rick looked over, and Hugh lowered her head, tacitly agreeing.
"How could this be...?"
Jibril's words are easy to understand: it was Schwi who had her wish granted, not him and Chloe.
Hughie had strong feelings for him, but not for others, which is why her later wishes were not fulfilled.
"I'm sorry, Rick."
Shubi apologized, explaining that it was their Machine Race that had deviated from the trajectory of [Yanlong Roar], causing the destruction of Riku's village and resulting in the deaths of Riku's family and clan. Now, she was unable to bring herself to resurrect those who were important to Riku, which made Shubi feel extremely sorry.
"..."
Rick was somewhat lost in thought, unsure of what to say. He didn't know whether to comfort Shubi or ask her to try harder, perhaps in the next moment, she would have the strong desire to resurrect the dead.
Of course, Rick knew that this was impossible.
"However, your wish to resurrect the dead is rather laughable."
Just as Rick was contemplating the dangerous idea of slitting his own throat and gambling on whether Shubi could also resurrect the other dead, he heard Jibril say this.
"What's wrong with wanting to resurrect deceased family members and companions?"
"This feeling is not wrong, but the behavior itself is wrong. In this world, apart from the gods, other creatures or life forms are simply dead when they die."
Even if Fanlou's power can revive the deceased, I would prefer to call this revival the creation of a completely new individual who bears the appearance of the deceased and even inherits their memories.
This is not a true resurrection at all…
Gibril's words surprised Broly, as they differed from his common sense.
In the previous world, Aqua could revive people with ease.
They even resurrected the Demon King.
However, that's to be expected.
Different worlds, different rules.
This world is filled with elves. When a creature or life dies, the soul that carries the body dissipates.
The spirit power that stores consciousness is also decomposed by the omnipresent spirit species, so there is no such thing as reincarnation or an afterlife.
Aside from divine beings, or those whose consciousness is immediately protected by a powerful being after death and resurrected by having their body rebuilt and their consciousness inserted into it, all other resurrections are merely false resurrections.
"So that's how it is..."
Upon learning the truth about the resurrection, Rick abandoned his idea of getting involved and accepted the fact that the dead could not come back to life.
"It's my turn. I want to make a wish with you."
Fanlou looked at Broly, tilted his head, wondering what other wish he wanted to make.
"I hope that the food in my dreams can appear in reality."
With a devout heart, Broly made a wish to the tower.
The all-powerful Wishing Princess was startled, and then shone brightly.
Under the light, aromas began to emerge, and various delicacies began to spread out on the ground.
Without hesitation, Broly grabbed a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
The familiar taste, but with a different feeling than in my dream.
This was real, and it brought tears to the Saiyan boy's eyes.
No money or happiness points are needed; just make a wish at the sail tower, and food will magically appear.
"Fanlou, you are the best wife of all!"
Broly said sincerely.
"What is the 'wife of wives'?"
Fanlou asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Still my wife, but the strongest wife yet!"
In terms of providing food, Broly would call Fanlou the strongest wife.
Fanlou: "..."
He didn't know what to say, but he could sense Broly's happiness.
"Whatever you wish for, I will grant it for you."
"Then, let's have a few more wives like you."
Fanlou: "???"
As it turns out, some of Fanlou's wishes are impossible to fulfill.
The concept is unique, making it impossible to exploit bugs.
So Broly had no choice but to settle for second best and fill his remaining seventy cubic meters of personal space.
After doing all this, Abant Heim flew over the great forest where the forest elves lived.
The forest elves were on high alert. Although they had been told there would be no battle, they couldn't help feeling nervous when facing the colossal Sky City overhead, along with a dragon elf king and a group of dragon elf followers.
Sink Nielbaren is one of the few forest elves who can remain calm. Moreover, she is not only calm, but her heart is also burning with passion after seeing that even the Dragon King of the dragon elves is with Avant Heim.
With even dragon spirits bowing their heads now, who can stop her from becoming the ruler of this world with the help of her cheap little husband?
