Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 203 Abandon this Soul
Kongmu Lianhua's voice was like a dragon's roar. Although it was weak, it was full of majesty.

"Black Sword, and Your Majesty the Judge, can you please... don't give up on this war."

Calm words came from under the face that was completely covered by the growing black crystal clusters, and the figures of Xin Lailai and the Judge were reflected in the golden vertical pupils.

Boom-!
The thunder and the roar of huge waves intertwined, bombarded the water curtain, and resounded throughout the battlefield.

"I need a reason."

After a brief silence, Xin Lailai looked at the Kongmu Lotus Flower in front of him and said in a hoarse voice.

"There is still a chance of winning this war, but only with your cooperation, Mr. Black Sword. I alone cannot win this war."

Kongmu Lianhua stared at Xin Lailai's figure and used the honorific title she had not used for a long time in her tone.

victory?

To win against an enemy that was bigger than the desert island they were on?
Hearing this, Xin Lailai had a look of astonishment in his eyes. However, before he could speak, the arbiter's cold voice suddenly sounded from the side:
"It seems that you are planning to place your hopes on so-called off-field assistance."

"Yes, because Your Excellency, the Judge, told me before the war that once we get to this point, the only chance of improvement lies in whether we can hold off for these 10 minutes."

Renhua Kongmu looked at the judge aside and told an astonishing fact.

The Judge had already contacted the God Eater camp before they started this war?

No, that's not right. It's not surprising that the adjudicator would enter the war one step ahead of the participants. The point is that the other party had already anticipated that the war might go to this point before the war started.

Xin Lailai looked at the judge wearing a black and white mask with his peripheral vision, and his breathing quickened slightly.

"The Adjudicator can obtain more information than you think, even if you are a pioneer."

A cold voice sounded in Xin Lailai's mind. The moment he heard the word "pioneer", Xin Lailai's pupils instinctively shrank, and the muscles in his body subconsciously tightened, but he immediately calmed down and nodded calmly. He nodded and said:

"That's it. Thank you, Mr. Judge, for helping to clear up the confusion."

The judge is a special position that is almost on the same level as the pioneer. Knowing the existence of the pioneer is not an incomprehensible thing, especially when you are in a war world.

'The adjudicator has the right to obtain information on the entire battlefield at any time'

This sentence is never just a joke, but the core power of the arbiter on the battlefield.

"If we can hold on until the assistance unit comes in, we will be able to turn around. I did tell you that."

The judge who used special means to transmit the voice directly into Xin Lailai's mind said that. After saying that sentence, he said nothing more to Xin Lailai. Instead, he looked calmly at the empty lotus flower in front of him and said:

"However, it is just a turning point. Even if it can be delayed until then, it will only create a fleeting opportunity for them at best, and it does not mean winning the war."

The cold voice echoed on the battlefield, and there was no trace of emotion.

"I know, that's why we need the cooperation of Mr. Black Sword and the others, especially the cooperation of Mr. Black Sword."

Kongmu Renhua said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

After hearing this, the judge was silent for a while, glanced at Xin Lailai beside him, and said:

"In that case, you can decide for yourself."

After speaking, the judge walked aside, leaving only one cold word:

"The barrier outside can block the Ouroboros for at most 5 minutes. Before that, you'd better come up with a result."

boom--!
As if to echo these words, a huge black shadow came completely from the right side of the battlefield. In an instant, a large number of tentacles fell from the sky and bombarded the aqua sky. The terrifying power made the entire desert island... A shudder.

"He is really a big guy that makes people feel hopeless."

Xin Lailai looked at the sight occupied by the black tentacles, smiled, and said in a tone that seemed to be teasing:

"The method you are talking about is that you stall for time, and then the so-called assistance unit creates opportunities for me to rush into this guy's body and snatch the new core of the world back, right?"

Kongmu Renhua did not answer Xin Lailai's question directly, but just stared at him quietly and said:

"Your new divine machine has been completed. It uses the same technology as the new star divine machine and has the power to destroy the core of Ouroboros."

Hearing this, Xin Lailai was silent for a while, clicked his tongue, closed his eyes, and wondered what he was thinking.

"Lailai, do we want to stay?"

In the soul space, Ling Yuzi looked at Xin Lailai beside him and asked.

"Honestly, I don't know. The existence of Ouranos is full of too many uncertainties. It's impossible for us alone to defeat it and an Ouroboros."

Xin Lailai on the side sighed, and after a moment of silence, he looked up at the dome of the soul space, a dazed look flashing in his dark pupils.

"Ling Yuzi, can you tell me what I'm thinking about right now?"

"Lailai, you want to stay and help Kongmu Renka, but you are afraid that you will not be able to win in the end and cause everyone to die here."

Ling Yuzi floated in front of Xin Lailai, looked into Xin Lailai's eyes, and said seriously.

"You want to win, but are afraid of losing? Ha, it's such an ordinary mentality. I thought I would think about some more in-depth questions?"

Xin Lailai smiled self-deprecatingly, stretched out his palm, spread his fingers, shook it slightly, looked at his slightly trembling palm, and fell silent.

Ling Yuzi was right, he was indeed afraid.

It's not simply the fear of failure, but the fear that your failure will kill everyone else who should survive.

They had already sacrificed too much for this war. Of the 231 contractors, only 23 were left, and the others were all lost in this war.

If there were only 23 strangers, Xin Lailai could even easily deceive them into dying with his acting skills.

But facing the 23 comrades who had followed him and survived the nearly lifeless battlefield, Xin Lailai could not drag everyone to risk their lives just for his own impulse.

It is easy to bear one's own life, and it is not difficult to bear the will of others.

But carrying the lives of those who are still alive is far heavier than Xin Lailai imagined.

"Actors on stage are just actors after all."

In the end, he is just a black sword disguised as a performer, not a real leader...

[*Tip: Ding ~ you have a new email! 】

Suddenly, the email alert sounded. Xin Lailai was slightly startled and looked at her mailbox blankly.

At this time, who would suddenly come over and send him an email?
[*Tip: Ding ~ you have a new email! 】

[*Tip: Ding ~ you have a new email! 】

【*hint:……】

The next second, a series of email alerts began to ring crazily from Xin Lailai's ears. Under Xin Lailai's gaze, the number of emails in his mailbox suddenly began to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This is……"

Xin Lailai looked at the mailbox in front of her and the names that were both strange and familiar, and her breath suffocated slightly.

He knew all these names.

Perhaps most of them had never even spoken to him, but Xin Lailai remembered these people's names very clearly.

Because...these are all the names of the contractors who died in the world of God Eater!

In an instant, Xin Lailai understood what had happened. He looked at the mailbox in front of him, and as if by some strange mistake, he opened one of the virtual emails that could be viewed directly:

……

[Sender: Hua Ling] [Email content: "Hey, by the way, when the Black Sword boss sees this, it means I'm dead, right?"

"Ah, it's really troublesome to think about things after death when you're alive, but since I'm dead, can I go crazy?"

"Hehe, Black Sword Boss's vest line looks very impressive. I wonder what it would be like if I started to touch it?"

"Ah, I really want to fight the Black Sword boss first. Then I will die without regrets."]

……

[Sender: Hanren]

[Content of the email: "Hei Jianqi... It may be a bit redundant to say this, but after comprehensive consideration, I feel that you should be the person most likely to survive the battlefield."

"Although I haven't really talked to you, my intuition tells me that you are a trustworthy and strong person, so if you have the opportunity, can you please inform my family in this world of my death on my behalf."

"To express my gratitude, the following is my paradise bank account password: 34..."]

……

[Sender: Carter]

[Content of the email: "At this point in time, I believe that the Black Sword boss has won the war world, right?"

"I'm sorry to bother you in this way, but if that guy at the end of the world is still alive, could you please help me tell him that I was wrong about what happened in the newspaper before, and I hope he won't take it to heart. Also, about I can no longer go to watch Miss Xinler’s game with him.”]

……

[Sender: Tie Ke]

[Content of the email: "Um... Carter told us to write a suicide note or something, and also said to choose a person with a greater chance of winning and set up a scheduled sending. We thought about it and thought that you, the Black Sword boss, should be the most likely candidate, so I’ll send it to you first.”

"As for the will... we don't know what to say. After all, if it weren't for you and Carter, the Black Sword boss, we probably wouldn't be alive now. Please ask the Black Sword boss to say hello to them on my behalf."

"By the way, this is our paradise bank account. We won't be able to use it after we die anyway, so why not give it to..."

……

[Sender: Lani]

[Content of the email: "If Black Sword Boss sees this, I should be dead, right? What a pity. I thought that with people like you, Black Sword Boss, this world would definitely survive."

"Well, since you're dead, there's nothing you can do. Can you please help me, Mr. Black Sword, give a message to Nalan from the Natural God Cult when you return to the park, saying that I might not be able to go to the big garden to play together."

"The person who saw this email should be the Black Sword boss, right? After all, if the Black Sword boss can't survive, wouldn't the others be even more dead?!"]

……

[Sender:...]

【…】

……

……

The content of each email passed by Xin Lailai's eyes. Because virtual emails did not account for much, Xin Lailai had already read them all in just 2 minutes.

"Lailai, these..."

Ling Yuzi looked at the content of the email in front of him and hesitated to speak.

"Well, it's the suicide notes of the previously deceased contractors."

Xin Lailai said, looking up at the dome of the soul space, looking at the wisps of misty light blue mist, and suddenly laughed.

"Pfft, these guys... are more convinced than me that I can win this war alive."

Among those dozen emails, not one of them suggested that he would die in this war.

In other words, it was as if everyone believed that he would be able to win the war with the remaining contractors.

"It's really...if I don't win, I feel like I won't be able to see anyone."

A muttering to himself sounded in the soul space. Hearing the words, Ling Yuzi, who was floating in the air, pulled back his snow-white hair and looked at the figure that had disappeared into the soul space, with a smile on his little face.

Unlike Xin Lailai, she didn't care about the life and death of those contractors as much as Xin Lailai did. She simply didn't want Xin Lailai to feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, as long as it was a decision that made Lailai feel relaxed and happy, it didn't matter to her what it was.

only……

"It's absolutely forbidden to have sex with Lai Lai secretly!"

Ling Yuzi rubbed his little tiger teeth, looked at the content of a certain email, and snorted softly.

It didn't take much to think about it. There must be similar things in the remaining unopened emails. When she got back, she promised to check them first.

Her Lai Lai doesn't allow others to think about her, not even thinking about it!

Evil ghosts are very protective of their food!
……

"Your Excellency Kongmu."

In reality, Xin Lailai suddenly raised his head, opened his eyes, and a ray of light burst out from his dark pupils.

"I accept your proposal, but there is a precondition."

Xin Lailai stared at the empty wood lotus flower in front of him and said firmly:
"I need you to prove that you have the ability to win this war."

"It's not to me, it's to them. That's my responsibility."

"I have no right to decide their life or death. Therefore, if you want to continue this war, you must use your actions to completely convince them."

Xin Lailai looked at Kong Mu Lianhua, his dark eyes looked at those golden vertical pupils, and he said word by word:

"If you can do it, I can guarantee that I will seize the opportunity you created at all costs to win this war!"

A sonorous and powerful voice sounded on the battlefield. Kongmu Lianhua looked at Xin Lailai's resolute face and suddenly smiled.

"That's enough, Black Sword."

click, click...

A series of breaking sounds sounded, and the empty wood lotus flower swallowed by the black crystal clusters began to walk forward step by step. With every step, the bone-wing-like thing behind it would extend a little.

"I'll trouble you to come and witness the rest..."

boom!
The next second, a large number of tentacles made of dark crystal clusters rose into the sky and rushed towards the battlefield in all directions.

"Roar--!!"

A deafening roar sounded, and the black Hannibal behind him stabbed his own heart with a claw without hesitation, and took out the blue core.

"The result of all this."

Hum rumble——!
The dark tentacles writhed crazily, preying on all the remaining Aragami cores on the entire battlefield, and then suddenly retracted toward the pit, entwined tightly together, and turned into a giant black egg.

……

　Suddenly I thought of using the plot of the suicide note. Although it feels a bit beastly, I feel that I am awesome ヽ('⌒メ)ノ
