Crane tail salted fish from the Academy of the Brave

Chapter 866 A dream-like traveling companion

"You just restore them to star power and then absorb them into your body? That's really stupid."

The "Phantom" who followed Laurent and looked the same as Shiya, as if that person was really here, kept making spicy comments on Laurent's various behaviors along the way.

"Those star powers, they can exert a power that transcends the end and eternity just by relying on simple instincts. Why don't you use them at all during battle?"

"As much as I hate to say it, I don't know how to use it at all."

"...It's just hopelessly stupid."

Of course, Laurent would not argue with the "phantom" reflected in his heart, but he always felt that the other person spoke like Shiya himself.If that person was really here, he would definitely laugh at himself mercilessly like this.

If I had had such a friend by my side before, I would have avoided many detours.

"The power of the star should have some special connection with me, but if so, what does that mean? Why can I absorb and store so much primitive life, but I haven't turned into a monster yet?"

"Aren't you quite capable of making random thoughts? Just try making a guess."

"One possibility is that... I am actually a special tool created by the origin-planet repair system. Once the disaster that was enough to destroy the planet mirror a thousand years ago breaks out, I will be thrown out to solve the problem."

But Laurent also knows that there are actually many things that don't make sense in this speculation. The most important thing is that the origin has actually been creating "heroes" to fix the errors caused by the operation of the multi-dimensional world. Even if the disaster is serious enough, he must be sent out to eliminate it. , there should have been "heroes" already active at that time.

However, there were no "heroes" before a thousand years ago.

"Your head was wandering around in an obvious misunderstanding from the very beginning."

"Phantom" mocked Lauren in annoyance, and then began to circle around him.Laurent also stopped and planned to let himself take a rest.

He had just eliminated and absorbed several calamity monsters, and the new star power in his body hadn't completely calmed down.

"Why do you have to add a premise of 'you must save the world' to yourself? Could it be that human beings will perish if you are not here? Then how have human beings survived in the past 1000 years?"

Shi Ya did say something similar, but Luo Lun didn't think about it seriously.Before, he had always subconsciously believed that the purpose of his birth into the world was to fight against the disaster that would destroy mankind.But as he gradually got closer to the truth, he discovered that he did not seem to have been given such a mission.

"But according to you, if I was not born to save the world, then why do I have these special abilities? And the disaster a thousand years ago was finally suppressed by me."

"Then move your stupid head again and think about what happened to Ophelia and Huang Hua at that time."

After hearing these two names, Laurent couldn't help but frowned.Although his memory has not been completely restored, the scattered clues that have been determined still show that he actually chose to fight the "disaster" alone to protect them at that time.

So if they didn't exist at that time, would my past self have made such an arbitrary choice?
"Because of the stupid thing you did at that time, the two of them have done nothing in the past 1000 years, and they just want to summon you again. In other words, they have only lived for you from then to now. "

"I know."

"Then think about what they did. Huanghua alone completely destroyed the system of the repair device running in the mirror, and Ophelia used that sword to directly blow up the multi-dimensional world to pieces. Are you still Do you think their power should be possessed by ordinary people?"

Of course Lauren thought about it, but he didn't dare to come up with an answer.The power of Ophelia and Huanghua is even more feared by the Golden City. They are just illusory mirror images. How can the human world that is not the planet itself give birth to such a powerful existence?
Unless they start from the beginning...

"So actually I am afraid of the truth?"

"You are saying such stupid things again. If you are really afraid of witnessing the truth, why do you insist on walking here alone? You also know that you can run back to the academy crying and asking for protection and never care about these bad things again, right?"

"If I really do that, Miss Shiya won't mock me like you do...she will just beat me out."

Hearing such an honest answer, "Phantom" couldn't help laughing.She no longer paced back and forth in a circle, but took the initiative to distance herself and observed Lauren with interest.

"But let me admit that they may be the real cause of the disaster...I don't want such an answer."

"Is the truth really important to you? If they are the disaster itself, are you going to draw a clear line with them, and then fight them to protect humanity, and finally eliminate them completely?"

"Phantom" once again took the initiative to get in front of Laurent, but this time, Laurent seemed to see angry fire in her eyes.

"You know what choices you will make, but you are deceiving yourself with boring lies, for the sake of humans? Do you really think humans are more important than them?"

"...I cannot destroy everyone's future for my own selfish desires."

"Really? Then you should go back to the academy now to help them resist the disaster! Now that you are running out alone to find the truth, aren't you abandoning others to satisfy your own selfish desires?"

Luo Lun knew very well that if the "phantom" in front of him was really Shi Ya, he might have been slapped long ago.

——Her anger is her own weakness, the confusion that she has not been able to overcome.

"Or have you always been imitating Ye Ying poorly?"

After hearing that name again, Laurent could no longer remain calm in his heart.As if the beliefs he had always held had been trampled on, he simply gave up his reason and released a disaster-like frantic power from his body.

"Don't compare me with that bastard! He is the hero that mankind longs for! He is the real protagonist of this story! And I... I am just a tool to be used wantonly by others!"

The out-of-control star power overflowing from Loren's body instantly flooded the earth, turning everything around him into a gray sea of ​​nothingness.But the "phantom" was not affected in any way. She stared coldly at Lauren's face, as if she would reach out and directly wake up the man in front of her who had been bound by something since the past.

"... Even if I do nothing, he can save the world and protect the future of mankind. He will definitely be able to defeat the 'disaster'. He is the real... hope."

Laurent is not a god. Like ordinary people, he will question his own decisions and deny his own thoughts.At this time, what he needs most is someone who can beat him awake hard.

"Very good, then answer me one last question. If that Ye Ying wants to kill Ophelia and Huang Hua for human beings, what will you do?"

Laurent did not answer this question, but the sea of ​​nothingness beneath his feet suddenly boiled.The rising tide and huge waves that seemed to be able to swallow everything seemed to be his answer.

"You're not fit to be a hero at all, you idiot."
