By unleashing Honkai energy, humanity's normal path of development has been swerved in the opposite direction.
Therefore, he had made significant interference with the human order, and only then was he able to connect the entire human order portion of the Type-Moon world, as Gaia and Alaya also wished.
As for whether Gaia and Alaya's words are true or false...
Having already gained some control over the simulated star map, he paid close attention to this area throughout his conversation with Alaya and Gaia.
At this stage, he could already foresee some things related to this matter. In addition, the simulated star chart did not react to Alaya and Gaia's judgments, so Roland confirmed that at least the method mentioned by Alaya and Gaia was feasible.
In this way, Roland abandoned the method of having Gaia and Alaya directly create Lostbelts, and also abandoned the idea of dispersing the members of the God Group in the Type-Moon world to continuously create Lostbelts.
After all, he himself needs to drive the formation of the Lostbelt.
Having learned of this, Roland began to ponder why the modern world had never become a Lostbelt.
If the essence is one's own interference in the world... then it means that one's interference in modernity is not enough.
This is also conceivable.
After all, he didn't even bother to unify the world, finding it too troublesome.
In that case, as Honkai energy alters modern technology, it's only a matter of time before the modern world becomes an Lostbelt connecting to the Hollow World.
The same applies to the parallel world.
The Holy Grail War was just a casual game. After going there, we developed Honkai energy technology and unified the world, and that was pretty much it—for the modern era, there was almost no greater historical turning point than that.
No wonder Alaya would recommend it to herself.
They had been planning to go to Britain for a long time.
That gave Roland an idea.
"Okay, I've roughly figured it out. Then let's have a pleasant collaboration!"
Roland had an idea, and Gaia and Alaya had their answers. In Roland's view, this conversation could end here.
He didn't even mention the proposal to invite Alaya and Gaia to join the divine group.
After all, they were different from the other members who joined the God Group—all the members who joined the God Group so far had a way of controlling or thinking about the other party before they joined the God Group.
This was true when Roland was weak, and it was also true for Medea. Although Roland's plan was ultimately shattered by a direct approach, he was still wielding Command Seals at that time. And after he became strong, he even picked out a dozen targets and took them down in one go in the Honkai world.
He didn't even hesitate.
But Gaia and Alaya are not acceptable, especially Alaya.
So he needs to observe further.
Roland didn't mention it, but Alaya did.
"Roland, may Gaia and I join your pantheon?"
Upon hearing Alaya's words, Roland showed no reaction on his face, but he also stared at Alaya without saying a word.
Alaya had anticipated this, but all she needed was Roland's trust, which would save her a lot of trouble. Besides, she really didn't have any bad intentions. But she understood humans, and she knew that even if she told Roland these things a thousand times, he wouldn't take them to heart. So, as a high-level player, Alaya, based on her current assessment of Roland, smiled and said what she was about to say.
"Gaia and I will become your followers, and then we will establish trust between us. What do you think?"
.....indivual..
151. The significance of the final trial for humanity to Roland
Alaya has started to play direct.
Moreover, the first shot was a straight shot that directly killed the game, which made Roland pause for a moment. Gaia nodded at this moment, looked at Roland, and gave his answer without hesitation.
"I can."
Roland only came to his senses upon hearing Gaia's voice.
Then he looked at Alaya and Gaia in front of him.
"Are you sure? Trust may not be there from the beginning, but it can be built over time. Rushing into this is the most unwise thing to do, because your current choices may cause you to lose the opportunity to choose forever."
Gaia remained expressionless.
“I don’t care. I’ve already been obedient to you since I’ve entrusted my future to your command. So whether you’re my god or not doesn’t matter to me. If this can solve some problems simply, then let’s do it.”
This was Gaia's truest thought, and Alaya looked at Roland with a hint of helplessness in her smile.
"Well, I had no choice. Although trust can be built over time, if I don't express my feelings now, you'll never trust me, right?"
"So now is the perfect time for me, isn't it?"
Alaya's answer dispelled Roland's last lingering thoughts.
Because Alaya clearly saw through Roland's words. Although Roland was saying this, if Alaya actually followed Roland's words here, Roland would never trust Alaya again.
After all, Roland didn't intend to play chess with Alaya.
Therefore, Roland would be extremely harsh on Alaya. If Alaya makes a single wrong move, Roland would immediately start taking action elsewhere.
Therefore, Alaya's straight shot hit the most crucial spot.
This caused Roland to put away his expression, and then nodded under the gaze of Gaia and Alaya.
“Then you shall become my followers, Gaia, Alaya.”
"Ah."
"Okay~"
With Alaya and Gaia becoming Roland's subordinate deities, Roland was completely at ease about the situation in the Type-Moon world.
Moreover, during this test, Roland also learned something else.
That is the question of humanity's final trial.
He brought plenty of leverage and had plenty of backup plans when he approached Gaia and Alaya, partly for this reason.
Because he was unsure whether he could hide his ultimate human trial, he wanted to test whether Gaia and Alaya would feel disgusted with him if he deliberately hid himself.
Furthermore, the final trial for humanity is said to involve the strongest god-slayer, so if it has any impact, Roland needs to add an extra layer of protection.
So he made some preparations for this.
First, develop your own power, a personal playground, and expand this power, which can be described as an absolute hidden ability.
Then, using his powers as a transmigrator, he interfered with the identity he had recorded on this side of the world.
Making major changes is impossible, but it's possible to use the two powers together to hide some information.
Roland was confident that even if someone could directly read his information, they wouldn't be able to see his identity as the final human trial.
In addition, since he also has a separate manifestation, even the ability to calculate the past and future is completely useless to him. It is impossible to find any trace of himself in the timeline. However, he still tried it with Gaia and Alaya.
If you can fool those two, you can fool quite a few people.
If the cover-up fails, Roland will activate the backup plan.
He will then exchange it with his clone puppet.
Because he and the Shadow Puppet share the same consciousness, if that were the case, he would transform himself into a shadow, allowing the Shadow Puppet to outwardly disguise itself as his true form, and then make some modifications to the Shadow Puppet.
This will save you a lot of trouble.
But it seems that Roland doesn't need to do that yet.
If we're just using our power to conceal it, that's enough for now.
"But what exactly does this identity represent?"
If it is deemed the ultimate trial for humanity, then it must be meaningful.
To put it somewhat incompletely, the cause-and-effect relationship is this: it's not that you are the final trial for humanity and therefore a god-slayer, but rather that you are a god-slayer and therefore could be the final trial for humanity.
The diplomatic issues that came with this identity were minor matters to Roland.
The main thing is the meaning behind it...
Since Roland entered the third stage of mastering the simulated star map and began to be able to foresee some very real things, he made a mistake in his judgment once in the Honkai world. Since then, he has been using various methods to confirm his thoughts.
It's not about completely trusting your own heart, but about recording your habits, behaviors, thoughts, personality traits, and other random things, thereby constantly creating the clearest possible personality meme for yourself.
Therefore, he was quite certain that his thinking had not been rewritten, and that he still had autonomy after this identity was activated.
This is the source of Roland's confidence in slowly probing the situation here.
After all, if his mind hadn't been influenced by this identity, then even if he had truly become humanity's ultimate trial, it would have been his own choice...
Then it doesn't matter.
There must be a reason why he chose this path, and whatever the reason, Roland respects his choice.
Therefore, the significance that Roland valued was another aspect.
However, this brings us back to Roland's old problem with his simulated star-creating diagram...
What exactly is my simulated star map that earned me the identity of the final human trial?
This problem has both advantages and disadvantages for Roland.
The bad thing is that he's too curious about the real name of his simulated innovation diagram.
The good part is... what's most peculiar about me is my simulated star map, and this simulated star map isn't blank.
