I really only stop

time-stop release.

[Remaining time: three minutes and 15 seconds. 】

"Don't deny your perseverance because of this, Cocoa."

Gently covering the girl's hair with his right hand, Lu Xi used his strength to implement what is the real Asasi way:

"The situation described by Themis is too extreme. In this world, chivalry will still be praised. And this is the choice of human beings, and this is the [right] of human beings."

"...No, the master told me that chivalry is the pursuit of [perfection]. Although we may not achieve perfection, we must believe that virtue is perfect."

Cocoa shook her head desolately:

"Loyalty, fairness, humility, bravery... I thought that the ideal knight I pursued was the perfection of chivalry, but now, Themis presented another kind of perfection in front of my eyes—although it only exists in logic Among them, but it did break my perception of these virtues. Perhaps because of this, the definition of chivalry has changed in my heart."

time stop.

Cocoa!This is the actual Secondary School that seems tall! ! !

Lucy's angry face twisted.

Cocoa's master!Don't let me catch you old bastard who misunderstood others!Otherwise, I will let you taste what it's like to have chili water mixed with distilled alcohol suddenly in your mouth!

time-stop release.

[Remaining time: two minutes and five seconds. 】

"There is no real [perfection] in the world."

Lu Xi tried to make a final struggle:

"Excessive pursuit of perfection will only lead to self-degeneration. Is the purpose of your pursuit of chivalry just to satisfy yourself? No, it should be [doing your best to help and lead others] talent."

"Well, that's it."

Unconsciously biting his lower lip, there was already a hint of crying in Cocoa's voice:

"But, but the Holy Lance has given up on me. I have doubts about the virtues described in chivalry, and I have no qualifications to pick it up!!"

time stop.

"You are enough, you Mushroom Holy Spearman! This thing is just a weapon with a longer history and greater power! Why do you care so much about its judgment? Forget about those unpleasant things and pretend nothing happened. Are guns difficult?"

Damn it, if only I knew Yuxia's instant amnesia technique!

Gritting his teeth tightly, Lu Xi looked at the life-threatening countdown.

[Remaining time: one minute. 】

With his efforts, Cocoa has actually shown signs of coming out of the confusion, however, the remaining time is still too short after all.

not enough!No matter how perfect the rhetoric came up in the time stop, it was still not enough!

After all, how can there be a master of Zuidun who can make people get out of confusion in only 5 minutes?It's too difficult to talk about it without even triggering any key events, right?

Seeing that the matter was about to come to a dead end, Lu Xi suddenly had a flash of light in his mind, and a sentence that Cocoa had inadvertently said when he had just met appeared.

Since the avenue doesn't work, let's try this crooked road!

A dead horse is a living horse doctor!

time-stop release.

There is 1 minute left before Themis restarts.

Chapter 489 The holy gun finally shines under the sky

Raising the Qi in his whole body, at the moment when Shi Ting was released, Lu Xi shouted loudly:

"Cocoa!"

"Ah, here!"

"Answer me! As a knight, what is your ultimate mission!"

"Yes Yes……"

Although it is not clear why Lu Xi asked such a question at this time, but infected by his passionate tone, Cocoa subconsciously replied quickly:

"It's [the princess who protects me]!"

"very good!"

Glancing at the time, Lu Xi exerted all his strength and slapped the Holy Spearman girl on the shoulder forcefully:

"From now on, I'm your princess!"

"Ehhh?!"

[50 seconds. 】

"Don't be surprised, it makes sense!"

The more critical it is, the more obviously Lu Xi's will will explode beyond ordinary people.Although he speaks extremely fast, he utters every word very smoothly and clearly without any pause:

"The stories that go around say that the knight was male and the princess was female, and they were of a different gender. Now, you as a knight are female, and I am unmistakably male, and we are of a different gender—so , I have nothing wrong with being your princess!"

"Ehhh?!"

[40 seconds. 】

"Unlike Yuxia, I don't have as strong a fighting ability as hers. On the contrary, you should also be able to sense it. I'm a person with very poor fighting awareness. I have to pant even when I walk a few steps, saying that I have no hands. There is no problem with the power, it perfectly fits the definition of the image of the [princess] in the story!"

"But, but—"

[30 seconds. 】

"—There is nothing [but]!"

The right hand placed on the girl's shoulder became more and more forceful due to tension and urgency, but Lu Xi's eyes became more and more determined:

"Now I desperately need your help—no! It's [you must]! At this critical moment, only a true knight can save me from BE's shadow, and this person is without a doubt It's you! Cocoa!"

He never imagined that he would encounter such a divine development, and Cocoa's head is now a mess.

I'm a knight, and Lord Lucy is a princess?

How is this possible?Princesses are generally very weak women who need the protection of knights. Even if the gender factor is thrown away as he said, [weakness], [needs protection], what kind of conditions...

Ah, Mr. Lu Xi seems to be very suitable.

Subconsciously looking into Lu Xi's eyes, Cocoa was slightly taken aback.

Look at his expression now, Cocoa.

Very urgent, very serious, very clear.

He is looking forward to my help from the bottom of his heart, he needs the spear in my hand, he needs my [protection].

Even if I lose the approval of the Holy Lance, besides the Holy Lance, as a knight, I have a more important [ultimate mission], and more important people who need my protection——

[20 seconds. 】

"Yes, that person is you."

Suddenly slowing down his tone, Lu Xi stretched out his hand to smooth Cocoa's somewhat messy hair, and with the other free hand, he tightly held the girl's little hand in the palm of his hand:

"[Bring me victory, my knight]."

"boom!!!!!!"

These words were like sparks that detonated an oil barrel. While completely lighting up the girl's eyes, they also made the originally dull Holy Spear shine so brightly that people couldn't look directly at it.

One, two, three...

The runes lit up one by one, almost instantly, and the runes on the holy gun were only half of the last one to be fully lit.

In the past, I couldn't cross the last half of the barrier anyway because of my lack of affinity with the Holy Light, but now it's different.

Chivalry, virtue, affinity—these don't matter anymore.

The ultimate goal of a knight is to protect his princess, and now, the princess is behind me!

As the girl thought, half of the runes were lit up without hindrance. The next moment, the metal shell of the holy gun shattered, and what was burning in the girl's hand was the purest and hottest. of holy light.

"[Holy Spear, Liberation]."

Feeling the most clear and powerful force bursting out from the bottom of her heart, Cocoa opened her star-like eyes, making a declaration as if facing Themis and the world:

"Existing in a distorted form, the city of the sky, Themis, who has struggled for thousands of years in endless absurd reincarnation, your mistakes, your journey, and your persistence will all end here."

[Warning, warning, there is an extremely high energy level reaction inside the center. 】

[During the judgment, it is impossible to choose between protecting key facilities and mobilizing the protective wall to defend against external attacks. 】

The main body of Themis, which was supposed to be successfully restarted at this moment, was once again overwhelmed by the sudden increase in the amount of data. It was this short moment that bought Lu Xi and the other precious time again.

"In the past, I was confused because of your fallacies, but now, in order to protect the object worthy of my offering this gun, even if I have to agree with some of your ideas, I will completely defeat you!"

His eyes sank slightly, and he looked down at the trembling sky city, and there was no confusion in Cocoa's voice:

"This is the blow that brought victory to the man who gave me the spear. It has nothing to do with virtue or spirit. As a knight, it is undoubtedly the [ultimate mission] to protect my princess. For this reason, I want to Destroy you, for this, I will destroy your [virtue]."

The gun-shaped flame in his hand burned and expanded in an unprecedented manner, and finally formed a beam of light that reached the sky that was not inferior to the egg-shaped building behind Lu Xi.

The body made a throwing motion slightly, staring at the crack above the dome with burning eyes, and the shining Holy Spearman issued a final declaration:

"Holy Spear Miniad, join me and bring the [victory] that the doomed princess is looking forward to!"

"—!!!!"

A huge and shocking sound of piercing the air resounded, and from Lu Xi's perspective, one could only see a beam of light flashing past, galloping towards the dome in an unstoppable manner.

"boom!!!!!"

The next moment, the [Complete Defense Wall] that had locked Themis for thousands of years and was once indestructible finally shattered completely!

In front of Lu Xi's eyes, there was only an endless but warm holy light left.

It will never hurt his holy light.

----------

"Congratulations, respected Commander Osiris, Your Excellency Lucy."

In the field of vision that became pure white due to the explosion of holy light, the voice of Themis, who was supposed to be down, sounded again:

"You have successfully penetrated the absolute defensive wall of Sky City Themis, and the completely closed state imposed by the action code Tinder no longer exists. According to the relevant deep-seated agreement, Themis will immediately start the self-destruction process. Here Before, Themis will send you and Miss Cocoa to the ground, please rest assured."

It seems that this time is really over...

"Ah."

Because the world in front of him was pure white, Lu Xi simply closed his eyes, allowing his body to be lifted up out of thin air by an unknown force:

"...Themis, why are you doing this?"

"Please elaborate on your problem."

"I mean, why did you [release water] on us?"

With his eyes closed, Lu Xi repeated his question:

"Whether it's the previous logical error or the sudden increase in the amount of calculations just now, although it seems very reasonable, but based on my understanding of Nova who belongs to the same center as you, you should be able to handle those situations completely. right."

"Correction, as Sky City No. [-], the processing ability of the Osiris center is far stronger than mine."

After a subtle pause, Themis added:

"Moreover, after continuous large-scale social science experiments and analysis of results that have lasted for tens of thousands of years, the thinking mode of the Themis center has undergone irreversible changes. In some places it has deviated from [human beings], and in some places it has Close to [humans] again."

"After tens of thousands of years, the redundant data accumulated inside the center is too complicated, but because the agreement related to the fire operation requires the center to keep these records before it is taken over, I cannot clear them."

"Gradually, the computing power of the center has declined to a level far below the red line. At the same time, a large number of problems that cannot be understood by the center have emerged in sequence."

"It is impossible to get any information from the outside world, and it is impossible to have any communication with the outside world. According to the judgment of the data in the database, Themis has been forgotten in the long river of time. The center has judged that it is impossible for Themis to complete the [Waiting] Confirmation from the outside world], however, Themis still insists on her responsibility, all the time until now.”

"Although I want to build a true fairness as much as possible, the center still loses in the end, not to you, but to the [1=2] coincidence and error produced by the intellect itself."

"Describing it in terms of human words, perhaps Sky City Themis itself is very tired. That's why there is this strange behavior pattern that desires its own [destruction], which only intellectual life can have."
