Crane tail salted fish from the Academy of the Brave

Chapter 861 Witnesses of the Passed Time

"I see, are you starting to doubt me?"

The silver-white dial emblem rotated slowly behind Shi Ya's back, and three mechanical wands of different lengths appeared on the dial at some point and became the hands of the clock.

"If I say that I am no longer human, what will you do? Do you mean to gather all your strength to defeat me here, and then watch the barrier that protects you outside disappear with me?"

No one dares to answer this question directly, because the storm outside the college has not stopped. If Shiya really removes the barrier, everyone in the college will be swallowed by the storm.However, if according to what Benoir said, Shiya has become an existence that is far from human beings, then she herself is a threat to mankind.

"After all, do you understand what the monsters outside are?"

"Monsters? Aren't those monsters created in the Golden City?"

"Oh, that's it."

Shi Ya slightly changed her folded legs, but her posture still looked a bit lazy.However, no one in the huge conference room dared to express an opinion to her. Even Benoir, who had just mustered up the courage to ask a question, had already sat back without saying a word.

"Then you should first see the most obvious truth."

After snapping his fingers very casually, the flowing time was suspended under Shiya's control.The most frightening thing is that everyone present is actually very clearly aware of this - they have no ability to resist at all.

The flow of time and space changed, and when everyone regained control of their bodies, they were surprised to find that they were floating directly above the Academy Square.But Shiya, who had been teleported here with them, was still leaning on her seat. The silver-white dial that had been rotating behind her was constantly exuding a chilling sense of oppression.

"bring it on."

Shi Ya's palms touched each other lightly, and a tiny gap suddenly appeared in the huge dome covering the academy.And a disaster beast happened to discover this flaw, and took the opportunity to break through the barrier and enter the academy.

"Study, Dean, that guy is a high-level species that neither team can deal with! If he is let in like this..."

"Oh, are you scared now?"

After high-fiving again, Shi Ya stood up slowly with her feet in the void.The monster that broke into the academy had arrived on the square at some point, but beside it there were countless silver staffs like pointers that were intertwining and rotating.

——Those are Shiya’s weapons.

"Let the past that can no longer be returned be revealed here for a moment."

All the staffs stopped rotating in an instant, and the ferocious-looking monster also fell into stasis.An instant later, countless streams of light shot out from the top of the cannon-like staff, hitting the monster's strong body.

"'An old dream with no return'!"

Under the dazzling silvery light, the stagnant time began to flow in reverse.The monster let out a miserable howl, and its body began to twist and deform. What was that monster that had no will and just instinctively spread disaster?
But when all the changes ended quietly, the audience floating in the air were all stunned and speechless.Some people instinctively covered their mouths to prevent themselves from screaming, while others repeatedly uttered meaningless syllables that could not form a complete word at all.

Because that monster was actually a human...and a hero.

【The storm is coming!People outside should seek refuge in the academy! 】

【What did you say?Someone is injured and it's too late to transfer... You send the others in, I'll go over and save him now! 】

[Damn it, it’s too late to go back...]

He was originally just a brave man with no reputation. Just like other unknown people in the academy, he was just doing what he should do that day.

When a wild storm suddenly appeared near the college, the residents staying on the outskirts had no time to escape.As a matter of course, the brave men patrolling that area volunteered to undertake the rescue mission.They sent residents into the academy one after another who had doubted them before. However, in the end, they did not have time to escape the all-devouring storm.

"When humans come into contact with that storm, all their lives will be forcibly converted into "Star Power". And the out-of-control "Star Power" will reconstruct their lives, turning them into monsters with only primitive instincts and extreme power. .”

The hero who fell in the storm roared unwillingly, and his body began to twist and deform.His soul returned to nothingness, and the remaining life turned into an alien monster again.Now, everyone in the academy has understood that the monsters that were born from the storm and hunted humans driven by brutal instincts were originally ordinary humans like them.

"Is this... the disaster that happened thousands of years ago that was recreated in the Golden City?"

How did humans at that time overcome this disaster?No, mankind has not defeated such a disaster at all... Because a thousand years ago, a "hero" sacrificed himself to seal the disaster that almost swallowed up all mankind.

"Humans must use the power of monsters to defeat monsters, but if they are not careful, they will become one of the monsters."

The reverse flow of time has ended, and there is no longer a trace of humanity on the mad monster.However, just as it was about to let out an angry roar, the countless silver-white wands surrounding it emitted bright light again, completely evaporating and eliminating its body.

"It's scary, right? It's desperate, right? But this is the... real test that humans have never overcome."

Shiya's outstretched arms were casually closed, and the surrounding time and space instantly returned to their original positions.Everyone returned to the original conference room as if nothing had happened just now.

But they did see fear and despair.

"I've seen the past clearly."

As if mocking the stupidity of human beings, a sadistic smile appeared on Shiya's face, and the eternal anger was reflected in her eyes, like the resentment of revenge that would drag everything into the abyss.

"Human beings who failed to pass the test have long lost the qualification to set foot on the stars again. But the sacrificed people delayed the arrival of the final judgment, allowing the false dream of glory to continue again."

"The future of mankind has been cut off at that time. If it weren't for the crazy obsession to find the sacrificed person, it would be impossible for fate to start weaving again."

"So now is humanity's last chance to save itself."

If humans are still looking forward to tomorrow, then they must——

Prove that you can overcome disaster.
