The Paladin on the Infinite Tour.

Therefore, after handing over the Ksitigarbha Yuhun, Alexia left home directly with Fu Hua, preparing to go to the landing place of the Thousand Realms Ichijo to find Su.

only......

"Alicia, why do you want to come too?"

Looking at Alicia who was walking in front of her and Fu Hua, jumping up and down like an innocent little girl, Alexia couldn't help but ask: "Have you and Miss Eden's rooms been tidied up? No. Do you need to buy your own daily necessities?"

"You can deal with those things later, right?" Alicia smiled and turned back, "Right now, I want to meet Su first, and Kevin more than anything like that. You also said it, right? , Su and Kevin occasionally chat through Qianjie Yicheng. Although like Hua, we often see each other in the paradise, but for the real them, we haven't seen each other for a long time. "

"It's normal for you to be unable to contain your inner expectations and excitement, and to long for a reunion with your friends, right?"

(Then why don’t you see Miss Eden and others like this?)

Before leaving, Ixia tentatively asked about the situation of the others - Eden was there to reminisce with the raven, or let the raven mix wine for her.After all, the reason why Eden came up with the idea of ​​coming to the outside world was partly because of Alicia, and partly because she drank the wine brought to her by the raven and was attracted by the breath of the new world. Given the temptation.

Now that he is finally outside and no longer needs to endure that temptation, Eden will naturally follow his heart.

Aponya is taking care of Gratius. Under the leadership of Anna, the two of them should have gone to the mall now, preparing to buy various changes of clothes and daily necessities.

To be fair, Ixia is actually a little worried about the situation over there. After all, the situation in Aponiya... Ixia feels that the internal forum of Tianming is likely to be maxed out tonight. Aponiya It was the type that could cause the group of single scientific researchers within Tianming to go berserk and lose control.

(I’ll take a look at the forum later. If something is wrong, I’ll use my administrator rights to control the comments.)

As the person who is second only to Bishop Otto in all aspects of Tianming’s authority, to put it bluntly, Ixia is an out-and-out authority dog. It is completely trivial to permanently ban some people’s accounts, although he has never Just do it anyway.

After all, he doesn't visit forums often. After getting busier and busier in recent months, he can be said to have no entertainment at all, and his rest time is basically spent on being affectionate with his wives - although he basically didn't have much in the past. For entertainment, when I lived on Genkami Island, I would be dragged out to go shopping by Lan Yu Qianconi every once in a while.

Thinking about it now, he should have been dating Lan Yu Qiancong at that time.Why didn't he realize it at the time?

"We have arrived."

Fu Hua's voice sounded at this moment, interrupting Alexia's random thoughts.

Alicia also stopped and looked up at the huge locomotive in front of her: "The Second God's Key: One Thousand Realms Is Really Shocking and Spectacular no matter how many times I see it, I really admire how it was used. It was designed by Velvet."

"Eh? Was the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle designed by Weiwei?"

"Well. Basically all the God's Keys have the participation of Velvet. She is the main implementer of the God's Key project. But starting from the Sixth God's Key, due to various reasons, she lost Taking the initiative—so, Su is inside?"

"Yes. Sorry for the slight offense."

Alexia came to the two of them, put her hands on the shoulders of Fu Hua and Alicia, and activated the space control magic instantly.

"Om--!"

Following a burst of space fluctuations, in just a moment, the three of them went directly from outside the Thousand Worlds to the inside of the Thousand Worlds.

To be more precise, it should be in the observation room of Thousand Worlds One Vehicle.

And what a coincidence is——

"Huh? Your Excellency Alexia, Hua? And..."

In the observation room, Su, who was sitting on the chair in front of the observation platform, felt the spatial fluctuations coming from behind him. He turned his head subconsciously and was about to say hello to Alexia and Fu Hua. However, his eyes suddenly opened, purple-red. His eyes were filled with disbelief and shock as he stared straight at Alicia.

"Hi~~~Long time no see, Su."

Alicia smiled and waved to Su: "I actually made you open your eyes. It seems that my appearance surprised you~~~ Hehe, just like Hua, I also succeeded in scaring you this time. ."

"...This is something that really surprised me in my heart."

After being silent for a while, he closed his eyes again, and the corners of Su's mouth raised slightly: "Although I have heard about the relevant things from Exia, but... I really never thought that I would be able to meet you again. .Long time no see, Alicia.”

"Hua also said something similar. So it seems that Kevin will say the same thing in the future?" Alicia smiled, "It's great to see that you are still so energetic, but~~~ Alexia, you Didn’t you say that your treatment here is very good? Why is Su eating instant noodles with no nutrition during lunch time? "

Yes, instant noodles.

This is what is now placed on the observation platform in front of Su.

Because of Su's identity and the importance of his work, Tianming took care of Su in every aspect.For example, we can provide three meals a week that are both nutritious and delicious without any duplication of food. Direct contact 24 hours a day, a contact person who can accept and complete Su's request at any time...

"This is what I asked for." Su explained. "When I was chatting with Kevin before, I accidentally mentioned the early days of Fire Moth and some past events from my student days. Then on a whim, I asked someone to send some instant noodles. , I want to relive the memories of that period... Do you want to eat? There are still a few barrels left here."

As Su said this, he bent down and picked up the other buckets of instant noodles placed at his feet - judging from the words on them, they seemed to be Korean specialties.

Alicia couldn't help but laugh: "Hehehe~~~I appreciate the kindness, but I'm not hungry yet, and Alexia has just eaten. There's no need for it, right?"

"No, I'll eat."

After Alexia finished speaking, she picked up a bucket of instant noodles, heated it up quickly and started trembling on the spot.He used to eat instant noodles a lot. After all, he still lived alone at that time, and Bianca and Rita wouldn't take care of him every day. Instant noodles didn't require going to the kitchen, so it was suitable for people with disabilities like him who were not good at cooking.

Although it is easy to get tired of eating too much.

Alicia: "..."

Fu Hua: "...Exia, we are not here to eat noodles. Besides, didn't you just eat twelve bowls of rice? Are you hungry now?"

"Isn't this a long journey?" Alexia murmured, "Let's talk about business while eating - Mr. Su, can you please get through to Mr. Kevin? I have something to do. I want to talk to you."

48.You know these rules

The deepest part of the quantum sea.

The inside of Sumeru mustard seeds.

Kevin was sitting cross-legged under the tree, looking at the sky in this small world bubble in trance.

This world bubble is a simple cage, created by Su one thousand and five hundred years ago, and it exists only to imprison him alone.Therefore, there is nothing here except him. Kevin can't do anything here. The only way to spend time is to wait.

Waiting for the people of the World Snake to open a passage to the real world for themselves, waiting for the time to leave here, waiting for the moment of finality... This is what Kevin in the past was waiting for.

To put it more directly, he is waiting for the moment when he has to leave here.

The Stigmata plan is the worst plan, and Kevin knows this, and he knows how much sacrifice it will cause.But in order to fight against Honkai, he had no choice. He couldn't stop himself for any reason - so he was now in this mustard seed.

In fact, the Sumeru Mustard Seed cannot trap Kevin. If he had that intention, he would have had the chance to leave here as early as 500 years ago when he was just imprisoned in the Sumeru Mustard Seed.

But he didn't.

On the one hand, it was because Su wanted to stop Kevin at the expense of his life, and he was unwilling to let his best friend die.On the other hand, he wanted to use this to stop. =

He couldn't stop himself, so as long as he was locked up, the Stigmata Project would naturally be suspended - how could Kevin approve of the Stigmata Project in his heart?He just really had no choice.

Therefore, he could only stop himself in this way.

But in recent months, Kevin's expectations have changed.

He is waiting for the person who wants to defeat him to arrive.

Alexia Messiah Kaslana, the successor from a parallel world, the strongest man-made [Hero], Kaslana who bears the name of the savior.Like Su, he resolutely opposed the implementation of the Stigma Plan, and in order to stop this plan, he was determined to use pure force to defeat himself.

Kevin admired the successor's approach and recognized the successor's power, so he was willing to give him a chance and also introduced him to the Paradise of the Past.

If Exia still insists on opposing herself after experiencing the baptism of the Paradise of the Past and knowing the truth about Herrscher and Honkai, then Kevin will naturally use his power to crush his naive ideas.

"Om~~~~"

While Kevin was thinking idly, ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake not far away, as if water droplets were dripping. Circles of ripples began to spread from the center of the lake.

Kevin stood up and came to the lake.

"Su Mo?"

This is a sign that will appear when the communication from the One Thousand Worlds reaches this world bubble.In the past few months, perhaps because of the previous conversation, Kevin and Su, who had cut off communication for 500 years, would definitely talk to each other again, as if they had never left.

The two of them would have a tacit understanding not to mention the Stigma Project, but would simply talk about the past.It's also a great way for Kevin to pass the time.

It seems that the time has come again.

"Buzz~~~~Ah...ah...cough, audition, audition, cough, cough, cough!"

The ripples spread completely, and when the last ripple stopped and disappeared at the edge of the lake, Kevin heard such a female voice coming through the lake.

It was a sound Kevin would never forget.

But the appearance of this voice surprised him so much that even he, who had long been regarded as an ice cube, couldn't help but be shaken at this moment.

"Hello? Kevin, can you hear me? Can you see clearly? If you see it, just call back. Don't pretend you didn't hear it."

"..."

Silently looking at the figure gradually appearing on the lake, Kevin's eyes widened involuntarily: "...Alicia?"

"Oh, you can indeed hear it. Hello~~~Kevin, long time no see, I'm back!"

In the lake, Alicia, who was in the Thousand Worlds First Observation Room, waved to Kevin as always: "Why don't you talk? Could it be that tens of thousands of years have passed and you have become a person who can't even speak?" Did you talk about the ice cubes? I just said that if Su locked you up for so long, there would be problems."

"...That's it. Is it your reason, Alexia?"

After pondering for a moment, Kevin looked at the figure holding a bowl of instant noodles next to Alicia: "You still brought them out, right?"

"Well. I haven't seen you for a while, Mr. Kevin."

After finishing a bowl of instant noodles in a few mouthfuls and drinking the soup in one gulp, Ixia wiped the corners of her mouth: "Except for you, Mr. Su, Senior Hua, and Qianjie, there are thirteen heroes in the Paradise of the Past. Except for Mr. Cosmo, all of them have now become humans again. Among them, Velvet and Professor Mebius stayed with World Snake, and the rest of them all came to Destiny with me and are currently living in my house. , wait until destiny finishes building the villa for them."

"I see."

After regaining his composure after being slightly shaken, Kevin looked at Alicia again: "It's been a long time indeed, Alicia...what do you want from me?"

"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do? I finally came back to the real world. Of course I have to catch up with my good friends~~~ Seeing that everyone is still alive and healthy in this world, I am more grateful than anything else. I'm happy - oh, no, no, Kevin, you can't be said to be healthy." Alicia poked the screen, as if to poke Kevin's face, "In that world, you must be a You haven’t eaten in more than 500 years, right? Are you starving? Do you want to go out and eat instant noodles?”

Kevin: "......I'm not hungry. Let's get down to business."

Alicia: "Oh~~~Okay, okay, you are exactly the same as before. But you guessed wrong. It's not me who is looking for you. Although I do want to meet you, but this time The one who wants to talk to you is Exia. Come on, let me give you my seat."

Alicia said as she pulled Alexia in front of the screen.

After sitting down and meeting Kevin's eyes, Alexia paused: "...I have experienced the paradise of the past, Mr. Kevin."

"I think so, otherwise you wouldn't have brought them out." Kevin said coldly, "So, what have you learned after experiencing the Paradise of the Past?"

"Your past experiences - to be precise, almost all the experiences of the Herrscher War. I asked you and Miss Klein in the memory to use the mechanism of the Paradise to help me reproduce it. For you The most important Sixth, Seventh and No. 11 Herrscher Wars are included. However, due to time constraints, I did not experience the No. 13 Herrscher Battle."

No.13 Battle of Herrscher.

Hearing what Alexia said, Kevin and Su's expressions darkened, and Su opened her eyes slightly.

After a while, Kevin said: "So, now that you are here to meet me, do you want to continue that topic?"

"That's right. I want to stop you, Mr. Kevin." Alexia nodded, "After going through those Herrscher battles you went through, and seeing the hell you went through, my choice and The idea has not changed+ - in your opinion, the Stigmata Project is the only solution that has to be used. But I am not you. Now I have the ability to pursue better solutions, and I know you must be the same."

“Words cannot sway me.”

Kevin's answer remained cold.

"If you want to change my mind, then use your power to make me surrender. You already know this."

"I also know you will say that - then, how about setting the time in one month?"

Alexia said.

"After a month, we pick a place and use our power to crush each other's ideas."

"can."

49. Go to the moon?!

A declaration of war on Kevin.

This is what Ixia wants to say to Kevin now.

After saying that, and handing over the time and place to Alicia again, Alexia pulled Su and Fu Hua outside the observation room.

"...It seems you are indeed ready."

After going out, the first person to speak was Su.

With his eyes slightly opened, he stared at Ixia: "In that case, I will release Kevin from the Quantum Sea. If my guess is correct, the World Snake should find him as soon as possible. It’s just that—a month, isn’t it too long?”

"How do you say this, Sue?"

Fu Hua frowned: "Do you think Alexia might be too late in time?"

"There are indeed considerations in this regard, but there are also considerations for Kevin's condition." Su said in a deep voice, "As Alicia said just now, Kai was sealed in the mustard seeds for a thousand and five hundred years. Wen has not received any supplements, which is equivalent to saying that he has not eaten or drank in it to this day."

"Fusion warriors basically only need Honkai energy to survive, and food and drink are secondary. With Kevin's power, even if he is locked up for another thousand and five hundred years, he probably won't die. The energy in his body is The Honkaijuon factor will provide him with Honkai energy all the time - but again, he won't be able to replenish it."

Honkai energy continues to be consumed without being replenished.

Fu Hua understood what Su meant: "You mean, Kevin now is far weaker than in his heyday?"

"I'm afraid so. At least, it won't be stronger than the memory of Kevin that Ixia faced in the Paradise of the Past. Now is undoubtedly the time when Kevin is at his weakest... And if there is a If there is a buffer period of a month, the possibility of Kevin returning to full strength is not small."

Su who said this opened his eyes completely: "I am Kevin's best friend. If possible, I don't want to say these words, but in order to stop Kevin, I will say it - just to restore Kevin to his true glory." Is it okay? Exia."
