Foreigner's Journey

Heather reached out and fiddled with it out of thin air, and everything around her began to move forward rapidly.

Jesse and Heather are like spectators isolated from time, the sun rises and falls above their heads, and the sky alternates day and night.

Soon, the scene in front of him turned into a burning village with dead bodies everywhere.

Jesse screamed and wanted to run out to save others, but Heather held her back: "Idiot, this is Claude's memory, you can't change anything."

Heather pointed to the high mountain behind the village: "Let's go, there is the Nibelheim Demon Furnace, and it is also the place where Claude and Sephiroth fought."

###Chapter 108 Everyone is waiting for you###

, the journey of a foreigner

Jesse only felt that he was being led by Heather to quickly shuttle between the mountains and forests.

Occasionally, there was a tree branch in the path of movement, and Jesse raised his hand to try to block his face, but found that the tree branch passed through him without hindrance.

It seems that I am just a bystander now, unable to affect anything in Claude's memory, and will not be affected.

Almost in an instant, Heather and Jesse arrived at the magic furnace on the top of the mountain.

After passing through layers of pipes and stairs, they finally came to the core area.The huge metal steps go up all the way, and at the end is the most secret metal door leading to the inside of the magic furnace.

"Tifa!" Jessie was horrified to find Tifa in a denim outfit lying in a pool of blood. She rushed to help her best friend up, but found that her hand had passed through Tifa's body.

"That was Tifa five years ago. She was slashed on the chest by Sephiroth. Not only did she cut off several ribs, but she also injured her internal organs. Until now, she still has a metal plate implanted by the hospital."

Heather stood aside with her hands in her pockets, her voice low and full of anger.

At this moment, there was a huge impact sound from the depths of the door at the top of the stairs, and then a figure flew out from the door, slammed into the outer Moko pipeline, and then fell heavily to the ground. He was powerless He collapsed on the edge of the steps, blood seeped from under his body and flowed down the metal steps.

It's Zack Fair!His Destruction Sword fell to the side, and his body was severely cut, and it looked like it was Sephiroth's handwriting.

"Tifa! Zack!"

There was a scream in the distance, and Cloud, who was wearing a Shinra soldier helmet, rushed over, first checked Tifa's injuries, and angrily punched the ground hard.Then he ran up the steps and found Zack in a coma.

Claude lifted his helmet and threw it aside fiercely, picked up Zack's destruction sword and rushed towards the inside of the magic furnace.

Jesse and Heather followed closely behind and entered the interior of the Mako Furnace together.

I saw a huge cylindrical culture tank in the deepest part of the magic furnace, in which was a naked woman with a beautiful appearance but no arms. A large number of pipelines and strange biological tissues spread from her body and extended outwards. The red light was constantly projecting outward from her eyes.

With his back to the passageway, Sephiroth was gently stroking the reinforced glass on the surface of the culture tank, muttering to himself: "Mom... let's take back this world together..."

Claude raised the Destruction Sword with unimaginable power, and the sword pierced Sephiroth's body heavily, and the tip of the Destruction Sword even pierced through the front of his body.

Sephiroth coughed up a mouthful of blood in disbelief, and wanted to grab Claude back, but the opponent pulled out the destruction sword at once.Blood gushed out from the huge wound, even Sephiroth, who was the strongest swordsman in the world, shook and half-kneeled on the ground: "You...you are..."

"Mom...Tifa...hometown...you took everything from me!"

Claude let out a mournful roar: "I used to admire you so much, why did you do this! Sephiroth!"

Sephiroth wanted to speak but coughed up a big mouthful of blood, the blood was mixed with internal organs, this kind of injury was obviously hopeless.

"Zack! Tifa!" Cloud thought of his friends, and immediately threw down the destruction sword and rushed outside.Now that the culprit has been eliminated, as long as they are sent for medical treatment in time, there must be still time.

He ran to the steps outside, first picked up Tifa and moved her to the wide area in front of the steps, then ran back to help Zack.He had just helped Zack up, and suddenly looked vigilantly at the door at the top of the steps.

I saw Sephiroth walking out staggeringly holding on to the door frame, the huge penetrating wound on the surface of his body was still gushing blood, he was holding an authentic knife in one hand, and a female head in the other.

Sephiroth knew that he could not remove the entire Xenovia matrix in this state, so he chopped off Xenovia's head and wanted to take it away.

Noticing Claude below, the corners of Sephiroth's blood-stained mouth slowly curled up: "You...can't...kill me..."

He staggered down the steps and walked outside, blood dripping all the way.

Claude gritted his teeth, and Zacks' weak voice came from his ear: "Claude...killed Sephiroth..."

"……give it to me!"

Putting Zack down, Claude had no time to go back to the training tank to pick up the destruction sword, so he had to chase Sephiroth desperately all the way.

Eventually, he caught up to Sephiroth in front of a narrow metal passage.On both sides of the passage are abysses, surrounded by continuously rotating gear chains and huge pipelines transporting demons.

"Sephiroth!" Claude yelled and chased after him. He was about to grab Sephiroth's shoulder but only saw the flash of the knife.

Sephiroth pierced Claude with a backhand knife. Even though he suffered such a serious injury, he still lifted Claude slowly with the sword in one hand: "Don't touch her..."

Jesse, who was standing aside, covered his mouth and watched the tragic duel with horror on his face.

Heather looked at the authentic knife and frowned slightly.

I saw blood overflowing from the corner of Claude's mouth, struggling with both hands grasping the blade of the authentic knife.After all, Sephiroth was seriously injured, and Claude struggled to fall to the metal floor of the passage as soon as the blade flickered.

"Drink!!" Claude grabbed the blade with both hands and violently lifted Sephiroth who was holding the knife.

"This...impossible..." Sephiroth showed a look of shock and anger for the first time.

Claude slammed Sephiroth with his knife, and the latter slammed into the high-speed rotating gear chain, and then fell into the abyss below.

Clutching the fatal penetrating wound on his chest, Cloud limped towards the direction of Zack and Tifa.He just walked back to Zacks and wanted to help his friend up, but he couldn't hold on any longer, fell beside Zacks and fell into a deep coma.

At this time, no matter whether the sky, the earth or the flames burning in the distant towns were rapidly dimming, they finally turned into endless darkness.

Jesse looked around: "Fa, what happened?"

"Claude's memories of this place have come to an end."

Heather looked up into the dark distance: "Ah, I found Tifa. I'll leave this to you. I'm optimistic about you."

"Ah? Hey, don't leave me here alone..." Jessie stretched out his hand weakly, watching Heather disappear all of a sudden.

Jesse had no choice but to sit on the spot with his knees hugged, feeling the endless darkness around him.

Suddenly, she found a small light in the distance, so she ran towards the light.When he ran near the bright light, Jesse realized that it was a young blond boy with faint fluorescence all over his body, and it was Claude in his youth.

The little Claude sat on the spot with his knees hugged, looked up at Jesse who was running over, hesitated for a moment and said:

"Jessie...don't come here."

"Claude? Is that you?" Jesse was overjoyed, but was blocked by an invisible wall when he was about to run over: "Claude, let me go over?"

Little Claude shook his head, curled up even tighter:

"Don't come here... I, I don't want to disappoint you anymore. I'm not like I boasted, I'm not Shinra's 1st fighter, I didn't do those heroic deeds. That's all Zack's experience, I Just a mean stealer... sorry I let you down..."

"Don't be stupid, Claude, I love you, not those deeds. You have never let me down, so don't break up with me."

Jessie whispered softly, "Let me go over and give you a hug, okay?"

Suddenly feeling that the invisible wall disappeared, Jesse walked over and knelt on the ground, holding little Claude in his arms.

Seeming to feel Jesse's true feelings, the little Claude also hugged Jesse, and his figure gradually became the adult version of Claude.

"Let's go, everyone is waiting for you."

"……Um."

###Chapter 109 Opening successfully, starting again###

, the journey of a foreigner

In the real world, the bonfire under the night sky is still burning vigorously.

The magnificent fountain of the River of Life has dissipated, leaving only dots of the stream of life lingering in the camp.Claude was still lying unconscious on the blanket, and Jesse fell into a deep coma beside Claude.

Other companions stood around the two of them, watching them worriedly.

In the eyes of Heather and the other three mind-ability users, Claude's body surface is constantly overflowing with strong life energy.

This means that Claude's fine pores have been opened, and the forced reading has entered a stage where it cannot be stopped.If he can't wake up in time, his fate will be the same as Drake in the world of One Piece, turning into a corpse.

Tifa looked at Heather: "Brother, how long can he last?"

"Claude has soaked in the original magic liquid for a long time, and with the support of Jenova cells, it can last longer than normal people, about 5 minutes."

Heather crossed her arms: "But after all, it is an irreversible consumption in a short period of time. As long as he does not wake up and control his fine pores and thoughts, it will only be a matter of time before he becomes a dead corpse."

Then, he looked at Alice next to him: "Are you okay?"

Alice wiped her red eyes, forced a smile and said, "Well, I'm fine, teacher."

She witnessed the final ending of Zack Fair in Cloud's memory.

Two months ago, Zacks defeated the Jenova cells in his body with amazing willpower, not only smashed the culture tank, but also took Claude to escape from the underground laboratory of the Shinra Mansion in Nibelheim.

But at that time, Claude had already fallen into severe mako poisoning because of being soaked in mako for a long time and invaded by Jenova cells, and became a vegetable like Jesse's father.

Zacks continued to flee with Claude, avoiding the pursuit of Shinra troops.Until not long ago, he found out that Shinra no longer pursued them, thinking that Shinra had finally given up.Zack happily told Cloud, and planned to take him to Midgar to start a new life.

Because there is still a girl he wants to meet again, and Zacks has a lot to say to her after four years of commitment.

Sitting in the truck compartment leading to Midgar, Zack and the drowsy Claude talked about his reverie about the future.

If you want to make a lot of money, go to Midgar as a mercenary, and if you save enough money, you can open a master house.

"At that time, the two of us will become the best all-round helpers in Midgar's slums!" The handsome black-haired man said with a smile while rubbing Claude's hair vigorously.

But reality is always full of irony.

They were still caught up by Shinra. This time, Shinra dispatched a large-scale army to encircle and suppress the two, which was a powerful force enough to wipe out 10 1st-level fighters.

Hiding Claude behind a rock, Zacks, with the determination to die, swung his destruction sword and charged towards the overwhelming army.

I don't know how long it took, maybe his willpower and concern for his friends gained the upper hand for a while, and Claude, who was in a trance, staggered out of the shelter of the rock.

It was raining in the sky, and corpses were strewn all over the ground. It was hard to imagine how fierce the battle took place.

Soon, Claude tripped over the corpse on the ground and fell to the ground.He struggled to crawl through the muddy water, looking for his best friend.

Finally, on the top of the cliff, Cloud found Zack.

At this time, there was almost no intact part of Zack's body, full of deep and fatal wounds from gunshot wounds and knife cuts. He just lay paralyzed in the muddy water, and he struggled slightly when he realized that Claude was crawling towards him. for a moment.

"Live..."

Zack's face was mixed with blood and rain, but he could still be seen smiling:

"You are the proof that I... am alive."

At this time, Claude was poisoned by Xenovia and Moko, and his personality was confused, but he still nodded slowly.

Zacks used his last bit of strength to raise the Destroyer Sword tightly in his hand, and handed it to Claude: "My... glory and dreams... are all given to you..."
