Beng San, I have an unfinished date with her

The white light came violently and retreated quickly.

But even so, they were still surrounded by a high-temperature purgatory-like scene, and such a high-tech steel jungle was almost completely razed to the ground.

Such a destructive weapon... was beyond Sakura's knowledge.

At least, not when the Herrscher of Corrosion controlled her.

Long finally spoke at this time.

"These are weapons made by one of my comrades-in-arms, the great inventor Velvet."

"It was originally used by people to fight against Herrscher and Honkai."

"Under a nuclear bomb-covering attack that has reached saturation, or even far exceeded..."

"In such a situation where multiple nuclear bombs are detonated at close range, there is no structure on the surface of the Fire Chaser that can withstand the overpressure impact between the center of the explosion and the center of the explosion."

"If it is a single... with the power of these nuclear missiles, there is still a high chance of survival on the edge of the city, or even in extremely deep underground structures in the fireball layer. With the technology of Fire Chaser Moth and my ability to heal them Not impossible."

"But...the density is too high."

"There is no life left in the three cities. There are only more than 3 humans left in the various bases of Fire Chasing Moth."

The scene accelerated at this time. In the rapid changes, the city finally cooled down, and the terrifying clouds and red-orange colors disappeared. They were standing on the road next to a collapsed ruin.

Long laughed, looked at a figure in the distance and said with a hint of irony: "Sakura, you see, there was a fool running away in this city at that time, so that he didn't even see her last side. "

"Escape? Her...last appearance? That one, Alicia?" Sakura realized what was going on.

"Ah."

At this time, the figure in the picture had approached them.

Silon, he kept rummaging through the ruins of the city, even if he could only find complete bones.

He has been looking for it for a long time, from the edge of the city to the inside.

...

There were still many achievements. Many bones and remains were covered by various building materials and were not directly exposed to radiation and shock waves, so they survived and were found by Long and dug up to the surface.

And then enveloped in his power...

But his strength was completely lacking at this time, and the broken bones were completely scattered, making his recovery work even more troublesome.

As long as it wasn't because of the density of nuclear bombs... it wouldn't be so troublesome.

He searched a lot of places, probably covering an area of ​​thousands of square kilometers.

In the end, he probably found more than 1000 [relatively complete] skeletons, so that he could learn information from them, restore their bodies, and then send them out of the radiation zone.

That's all he worked hard for.

Yae Sakura had listened to Takashi's story for more than three months and learned about some past events. She originally thought that the suspicions she had in her mind were dire enough.

But when Long's memory fragments appeared in front of him... his thoughts were indeed a bit naive.

at this time...

They heard a male voice with a soft voice and a calming effect coming from their minds.

"Takashi, come back quickly... Alicia, I need you."

"Su?" Long in the memory fragment looked around subconsciously, and then realized after being stunned for a moment that this was Su's spiritual connection.

"Did something happen?"

"...Long, as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

"Ok?"

Just when he was confused, a small snake-like robot emerged from the ground beside him.

Its body opened in front of Long, revealing a piece of paper.

"Aponia's handwriting...also told me to go back? What happened?"

"Son of God, come back soon, Ellie is here..."

"She's...The Herrscher!?"

"Ellie! What's the use of hiding it from me!?"

"Damn it, we must catch up!"

Long quickly scanned the short note, growled, then used his strength to fly towards the destination, or fly away at a low speed.

The field of view of the picture also changes to Long's first perspective.

But at this time, his power was still much weaker than what he is now. He could not move as fast as he did now or transfer spatial coordinates. In addition, the information that reached him from all aspects was all collected by Aili in various ways. This method blocks and then sends...

so...

All Yae Sakura saw was the flying flower-like headdress falling down.

After all, there was something Alicia hadn't calculated...

Apponia always shows her strength and persistence in doing things, just like when she asked Mebius to pass information and truth to Long.

She didn't even expect that Long's love for her completely outweighed the hatred he had just experienced towards the Herrscher.

Although he always said he wanted to be a human being, he always understood that he was not a human being.

That’s why I’m attracted to [people].

Under the watchful eyes of his comrades, Feihua slowly fell into his hands... He would take up his last responsibility - her expectations and accompany mankind to the end.

The screen freezes.

Takashi turned around and looked at Sakura, who nodded in confirmation.

He looked at the Herrscher who was standing aside, lowering his head and saying nothing, still supporting Alicia's appearance.

He said calmly:

"I never worry about whether there is a law or not, because my own essence is an inhuman existence."

"I don't accept you, not because of your Herrscher status, or because of losing Alicia or fear of being confused by you."

"It's that you ruined her expectations and ruined my expectations."

"At the same time, I am not qualified to forgive you on behalf of the innocent civilians in those three cities."

"do you understand?"

"Erosion Herrscher."

Herrscher of Corrosion choked up, she wanted to say something...but nothing came out.

"I...I just..."

"I just long for that light and that back view."

"I...."

"It doesn't need to be difficult, I just want a hug from you..."

"I just want your attention, your protection..."

"your love."

"I...."

"sorry..."

"sorry Sorry sorry!"

She repeated it many times, but as Long said, he was not qualified to forgive her for those people...

He walked over, put his hand on her head and rubbed it gently.

There was some light in her eyes again, she raised her head and said in a eager tone: "If...if there is another world-"

"In that world, I didn't do those things..."

"Can you give me a hug?"

"..."

"Okay." Long looked into her eyes and said softly with a smile on his face.

"Um...Thank you, thank you-" She couldn't stop her tears from falling.

At the same time, her body of black mist turned into countless golden light particles, illuminating the entire space and dispersing in it.

-

-

Phew, caught up

Change comes quietly: 159. A complete deception

It should be over, right?

Sakura thought as she looked at the golden particles scattered and disappeared. At this moment, Hitama Pill also flew out of her body. She looked at these golden particles with curiosity and confusion. She even reached out to catch them, but they were all caught. Empty.

Just when Hitamaru appeared, a faint light flashed across Sakura's body, and she was wearing that miko uniform again.

"Sister, what happened to these light particles? They are so beautiful!" Hitamaru flew around her and asked Sakura through the golden particles in the space.

Sakura looked a little complicated.

Regarding this consciousness...this consciousness that I actually don't completely hate...

More than 500 years have passed, and I still feel a little complicated. I don’t know how to describe it.

Holding Hitamaru in his arms, he said, "This is... the departure of an old friend."

"Hmm...Hitamaru doesn't understand."

"It's okay. It's okay if you don't understand. Everything is over."

"Oh... By the way, big sister, what are big brothers doing?" Hitamaru said curiously, looking at Takashi's strange movements.

Sakura also looked over and noticed Takashi's strangeness.

He closed his eyes and looked up at the darkness above. The hand that had rubbed the Herrscher's head was placed on his face, and he shed a tear. He looked very embarrassed and whispered to himself: "I'm sorry, I'll do it." Not even."

"Huh? What can't be done?" Sakura came to him holding Hitamamaru and asked watching his movements.

Takashi lowered his hand and lowered his head, letting the embarrassed look enter the eyes of Sakura and Hitamaru.

"cherry...."

"She said that if she were in another world, a world where she didn't do anything, give her a hug..."

"I promised her, but..."

"I lied to her. I've never lied before, but this time."

"For the first time, I got exactly the result I wanted..."

"Completely deceiving and using a soul, letting it relax and dissipating, just for what you want to achieve."

"I feel guilty."

"In all new worlds that will be reconstructed in the future, including all world bubbles and all the worlds on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, Honkai will still exist, but there will be no raging Honkai from the beginning. This is what I want to do. .”

"... In the reconstructed new world, there will be no raging collapse?" Sakura stopped patting Takashi on the back to comfort him, and subconsciously expressed doubts.

But she understood immediately and said quickly: "There won't be a Herrscher?"

Long nodded: "So I deceived her... The world she thought about, the hug she thought about, will never exist after I achieve what I must achieve."

"This..." Sakura fell silent, silently raising her hand to gently massage Long's back.

After a long time, she spoke out in the silence between the two of them: "In this case, wouldn't it be that I...Karen will grow old normally before five hundred years or so."

"Even Long, you could have changed everything more than 5 years ago..."

"There is no possibility of me and you, Kallen and I meeting..."

Long shook his head and said firmly: "...No. If we meet, we will definitely meet."

Yae Sakura raised her hand to wipe away Takashi's tears with her sleeves, and said with a helpless smile: "This can't be a lie to me, right?"
