Chapter 1781: Half a Laplace Demon

Black Spade shrugged helplessly and said, “The situation has somewhat improved, but it hasn’t completely resolved the predicament I’m facing.

Instead of working diligently for them, I prefer to stay here, munching on chips and playing games.

Perhaps, this is the personality I’ve unintentionally developed over billions of years.

Right now, I’m just expressing my character.”

Yang Yu’s gaze instantly sharpened: “So, you handed the task of educating the Angel to the humans of today?”

“Don’t stare at me with such a fierce look.

I just fulfilled everyone’s wishes and went with the flow.

Back then, humans indeed qualified to meet us, but there were still some issues.

I thought about whether to delay the contact.

But according to the previous rules, it was time for us to contact them.

After the contact, constrained by various rules, we couldn’t show our true strength to help them improve or point out their shortcomings.

Honestly, even if I had pointed out their flaws at the time, I didn’t think they would follow my advice.

Probably…

They’d just dismiss it, saying I’m interfering with human affairs.

My Favored Clan would certainly be resentful towards new civilizations for their disrespect to the pioneers of this universe and develop animosity towards you.

To fully understand both sides’ sentiments and find the perfect solution, even for me, is challenging.

Using certain abilities to change people’s thoughts might make things a lot simpler, but that goes against my original intention.

After tens of thousands of calculations, I chose to comply with humanity’s wishes and got caught by what they developed.

…The result was slightly different from what I anticipated.

Although there were differences, it wasn’t too far off.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t keep calculating continuously for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Didn’t you just mention the Laplace Demon?

I’m considered half a Laplace Demon.

Because I’ve merged with half the universe, I’ve gained some strange abilities.

This includes reading others’ hearts, and utilizing cosmic energy for vast computations and such abilities.

Yes, that’s exactly how you imagined.

The games you played previously were all images I’ve calculated before.”

“There’s quite a discrepancy in the calculations.”

“Therefore, earlier, I asked if you believe in fate.

When performing celestial calculations, I’m almost never mistaken.

But observing the world with living beings, especially with intelligent life, makes the calculations far more complex.

I can only perform repeated calculations to ensure accuracy.

…I couldn’t become a true Laplace Demon.

To see what impact my choices would have, I have to expend considerable effort.

Here’s the problem.

If a Laplace Demon truly exists, does this Laplace Demon know the next problem it has to calculate and what the answer to the next problem is?

If he knows the answer to the next question, is it necessary for him to perform the calculation for the next question?”

“Whether he knows or not.

But you most likely don’t know.

That’s why you keep calculating over and over again, looking at the consequences of your choices.

You probably thought I had a high chance of passing this world, that’s why you summoned me from another world?

…It should be another world right?”

Black Spade’s words answered many of Yang Yu’s questions, while also bringing forth new queries.

Black Spade chuckled, “Didn’t I say earlier that I acquired many strange abilities?

Controlling the time of this space isn’t really a difficult matter.

Going back to the past for a look isn’t hard either.

When traveling to the past, I can’t bring someone’s soul back just because I want to.

I also can’t accurately calculate what impact each person’s soul will have on this era.

Every trip to the past is like a lottery.

Ahh, explaining this is so troublesome.

It’s like earning random talents from a lottery, there should be a method or certain variables that can lead to success.

So, I provided you with a system, to expand choices and reduce the difficulty of you becoming stronger.

That system, as you suspected, was developed by humans of the past.

This also saves me the trouble of preparing various prizes for you.

To prevent over-operation, I set simulation counts, each soul I capture I test with different variables.

Only if the passing rate exceeds a certain amount will I pay attention to some extent.

I would watch like a movie, seeing how his actions in reality compare to my simulations.

Most follow the route I foresaw, but a few, like you, deviate from the path.

No matter the variables, until now, only you have records of freeing me.”

“If I don’t appear, will someone else take my place?”

“Perhaps.”

“Speaking of…

You seemed completely indifferent about whether someone comes to rescue you.

Shouldn’t have manipulated certain souls from the past to come here to become a Goddess’ Apostle.

Why did you suddenly change your mind?”

Facing Yang Yu’s doubts, Black Spade did not hide:

“Honestly.

Since I was captured, there have been changes among the Angels, forming different factions.

One group finally began seriously learning past knowledge, putting it into practice, rather than just discussing it on paper.

Although slow, I can predict…

In a few thousand years, they’ll fly their Destroy Star Ship here to blast this planet and rescue me.

Therefore…”

Yang Yu nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Black Spade continued talking to himself, “Though that civilization basically has no natural enemies, they fully understand the difference between having and not using a sword.

Therefore, they retained the method for creating super large weapons.

The Holy Light Power being found cracked by you, they could only attempt to find another way.

If I don’t take action, making my loyal faction believe I’m actively escaping…

If I don’t take action, making you express friendliness towards me in front of them…

You should understand the outcome, right?”

Yang Yu nodded silently.

In the ensuing time, the goddess seemed to want to vent all grievances suffered over billions of years, repeatedly confiding in Yang Yu.

Yang Yu patiently listened to every word of the goddess, trying to understand this entity who appeared just like an ordinary girl.

Through later conversations, Yang Yu learned the goddess would only use her “Divine Power” in extremely rare instances.

Because when using Divine Power, she’d function like a machine, eliminating all emotions, as she personally disliked that kind of self.

To better experience a game, she’d even cut some memory about calculation results, to experience the story just like playing a game for the first time.

Time passed as the two conversed leisurely, minute by minute.
