"Have you Tarnished not always obeyed the Two Fingers? The Two Fingers are the spokespersons of the greater will. Why would you think this way?" Margit asked.
"Why? No reason. It's just that the fire of my ambition is a bit large. My goal, as I said at the beginning, is not just a single position," Xia Yu said.
Hearing this, Margit fell silent. He had thought the Tarnished before him had been burned to the point of losing his mind by the fire of ambition, but now it seemed the other party's reason had always been intact.
But he couldn't understand why a Tarnished could have such great ambition, and even speak of it to him.
Thinking this, he asked.
"Why tell me? I am but Margit, the Fell Omen."
"Heh, Margit, the Fell Omen? Your acting still needs work, Morgott the Grace-Given. This is your projection, isn't it?"
"What?!"
Margit's expression changed drastically. Why was his identity known by the Tarnished before him?
He wanted to argue, but recalling Xia Yu's certain tone and the look in his eyes, he paused and sighed.
"How do you know... I thought no one knew my identity."
"There's no need for the Grace-Given King to worry about that. I naturally have my information channels." Xia Yu skipped over the topic and changed the subject.
"Of course, your identity is well hidden. I'm certain not many people know the Grace-Given King is actually an Omen. I am an exception; I cannot be viewed through common logic."
Hearing Xia Yu say this, Margit did not speak. Due to excessive blood loss, his complexion had turned from gray to a pale ash-gray.
"Alright, after saying so much, I only want to tell the Grace-Given King one thing." Seeing Margit's pale face, Xia Yu spoke quickly.
He was afraid that before he could finish, Margit would simply kick the bucket.
"The greater will has always loomed over The Lands Between. Because your mother, Marika, wanted to escape the control of the greater will, the elden ring was shattered."
"In the end, she succeeded, but not completely. She did escape the greater will, but she was also imprisoned within the erdtree because of it."
Seeing Margit's shocked and stunned expression, Xia Yu smiled, looking like he enjoyed the pleasure of a successful spoiler. He spoke again.
"You also know the current state of The Lands Between. All kinds of Outer Gods want to leave their mark here. Those deities have never treated the residents of The Lands Between as people, and even blatantly erode this land."
"Although I am just an ordinary Tarnished, my goal is very grand. How about it? Join me and completely drive the Outer Gods out of The Lands Between."
Margit forced himself to stay conscious and listen to Xia Yu's words, falling into a long silence. Just when Xia Yu thought the other party was gone, he suddenly spoke weakly.
"Heh, I didn't expect the fire of your ambition to be so great, even great enough to want to burn this world. I remember you, Tarnished."
"But the power to realize such ambition is not easily obtained. I will wait for you in the Royal Capital. At that time, prove to me whether you have the strength to realize this ambition, and then, let me answer your proposal."
After speaking, Margit's body suddenly became illusory, and then, as a gust of wind blew past, he turned into fading ash and disappeared.
Even the blood on the ground and the severed limb and staff turned directly into ash.
"..."
Watching Margit disappear like that, Xia Yu was a bit dumbfounded. No way, man, your disappearance wasn't just a game mechanic?
He really did turn into ash and disappear just like in the game.
But it made sense. Margit was, after all, just an Omen projection of Morgott, existing based on Morgott himself. He didn't have a physical body to begin with, so disappearing like this was reasonable.
However, seeing that he hadn't gained any loot, Xia Yu was a bit indignant. So stingy; the game would at least leave a talisman Pouch, but here, there really was nothing.
Oh well, anyway, there were no equipment limits on talismans here. He could string them together and wear them around his neck like a necklace.
Speaking of which, that guy Ashen Xia Yu was almost becoming a Lord of the Rings. He was already wearing rings on six fingers. Once all ten fingers were full, he'd probably start wearing them on his toes. Luckily, he had talismans here, not rings, otherwise he'd probably become a Lord of the Rings too.
[elden ring]: Guys, what do you think the chances are of me turning Morgott to my side?
[clash of clans]: Turning who?
[elden ring]: Fooling Morgott into joining me to take down the greater will, and while we're at it, driving the other Outer Gods out of The Lands Between.
[clash of clans]: Good grief, your ambition isn't small. With so many Outer Gods, can you handle them all?
[elden ring]: Sigh, I know that, but someone has to do it. Even in the Age of Stars Ending of elden ring, it only takes all the Outer God laws away from The Lands Between, and no one cleans up the mess those Outer Gods left behind.
[clash of clans]: True, life in The Lands Between is really hard.
There were many Outer Gods in The Lands Between. Those on the surface included the greater will, the Goddess of scarlet rot, the Twinbird of the Death Rite, the Formless Mother of Truth, the Fell God of the Flame, and so on.
These deities, for who knows what crazy reason, desperately wanted to leave their mark on The Lands Between, but in the end, the greater will successfully suppressed the other Outer Gods and established its golden order.
[dark souls iii]: Tsk tsk, if King Gwyn knew about such a world, he'd definitely crawl out of the ash pile immediately and toss them all into the first flame.
[dark souls iii] @ [dark souls i]: I remember in DS1, King Gwyn only had a shell left. How about it? Want to mention this proposal to him when you fight King Gwyn?
[dark souls i]:... [dark souls i]: You know King Gwyn only has a shell left. By that time, King Gwyn's soul has long since been burned away. How could he possibly hear you?
[elden ring]:... You guys are actually discussing it. But you did remind me. I could use the first flame to burn these Outer Gods when the time comes. The creative power generated would be perfect for repairing the shattered Lands Between.
[elden ring]: When the time comes, The Lands Between will have no Outer Gods and will be fully repaired, and the first flame will have more fuel. It's a win-win.
[dark souls i]: That makes sense. When the time comes, you just catch the Outer Gods in your world and toss them into the first flame as kindling. Our world won't have to worry about the first flame fading then.
[dark souls i]: After the world is sustained, we can then consider how to remove the first flame while still letting the world continue.
[Tale of Immortal]: That's simple. After becoming a Saint, just modify the world. Directly recast Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, and recreate the Universe and the Primordial Chaos.
[dark souls i]:... [elden ring]:... [dark souls iii]: Now is fantasy time!
