It's a long summer night and I can't sleep.
"Cheers." Beidou raised the white water in his hand and clinked it with Konno's oolong tea.
"Cheers? Why?"
"Well, for the two of us who have insomnia."
Love, before it even sprouted, had already withered. They were all the same, wasn't it worth a toast?
In the azure blue sky, a silver-white strange beast flew through the air.
Tomoyo hugged Reiya's waist tightly.
She was very scared at first and flew up to the sky screaming, but now she is no longer afraid.
Mica flies very steadily, and there is no bumpy feeling even at high speed. Compared with airplanes that often encounter turbulence in air flow, it is more like a soft white cloud.
This is probably what the legendary flying in the clouds means, right?
The scenery you see while sitting on Mica's back is completely different from the scenery you see from the plane.
Mica was not flying very high, only about one or two hundred meters above the ground. The familiar scenery became completely different after being freed from the constraints of gravity.
The magnificent mountains and rivers melt and flow from the painting to reality. Some ruins are buried in the riverside valleys, and the years are unknown. Like dots of decorative inlays, the ancient vicissitudes carry the unique charm of history.
Sometimes you can see some strange creatures.
Their appearances are completely beyond human imagination. Some have a large number of twisted rope-like tentacles, some have green faces and fangs, and there are also giant spiders and giant wolves with multiple heads.
But from this perspective it doesn’t feel scary. Instead, I feel the surprise and curiosity I get when visiting a museum of curiosities.
Tomoyo knew that it was because Ling was also here, so he felt extremely relieved.
"Reiya, will you stay with me forever?"
"Of course, didn't we agree that we would go to the same junior high school and high school, and then go to college together?"
"Even after graduation, we can still work together. You can be a director or a costume designer. As for me, I can make video games or invest in your TVs."
“But, can God really grow up?”
Is the time of gods really the same as that of humans?
Tomoyo wondered if her life of several decades was just a fleeting moment to the gods. To Lingya, she might just be a passing guest.
This feeling makes people feel a little sad.
I was so close to her, I could feel her warmth in her arms, yet she seemed so far away and unreal.
Hearing this, Ling also changed her sitting position to sideways. Yunmu's back was very broad, so no matter how she sat, it would not be dangerous. She looked at Zhishi and said seriously:
"I am human."
Whether others believe it or not, she believes so herself.
Isn't it too lonely for gods to be immortal? It's like never being allowed to rest. If you think about it, that's not a good thing.
There is no difference between eternal time and stopped time. Thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, and time has become a mere symbol.
Just like Gaia, who is forever outside the long river of time, isolated from the world, it is too lonely.
She would rather be a real human being, grow up and grow old.
"Is this really good?"
"I think it's great. It would be better to say, 'Be a human being'."
Tomoyo stopped talking and just leaned on Reiya.
Mica flew higher and farther, to the highest point of Takamagahara, the towering Mt. Amanoko.
The top of the mountain was covered with snow, but where the two men stepped, the snow melted, green grass broke through the soil, and flowers bloomed, and they stepped out of the entire warm spring in one step.
Kuiper Belt, the reconstruction of the fortress has been completed.
In the Galactic Federation, the solar system originally marked changed from yellow (suspected war status) to red (wartime control)
The Galactic Federation is not a certain regime. It is an alliance formed by a large number of second-level and third-level civilizations in the Milky Way, with the nature of military mutual assistance in the face of invasion.
Of course, such mutual assistance is not mandatory. Everyone should stick together for warmth. If we really face a strong enemy above the fourth level of civilization, we should run away if we need to.
Therefore, when the Federation's information officer learned that the entire Space Guard of the Kingdom of Light was stationed in the solar system, although he could not clearly know who the enemy was, he still warned the member civilizations as soon as possible.
Many planets have issued advisories advising their citizens to evacuate the solar system.
Some said that the Yabo people were unwilling to accept defeat and bought a galaxy-destroying dimensional bomb from the Dark Empire. Some said that the Dark Emperor had awakened again. The truly well-informed people thought of the dog-skin plaster that only appears once every 50,000 years, and after careful calculation, it seemed that it was time for him to be resurrected again.
This fortress was indeed built to deal with Zoda, but the enemy did not arrive as expected.
"According to the information confirmed by the Technology Development Bureau after observation, Zoda has indeed suffered heavy damage. I didn't expect it to be hiding in the vacuum zone 200 million light years away. No wonder it was not discovered before."
Between galaxies is a vast vacuum zone, much larger than the galaxies themselves, hundreds of thousands or millions of light years across, with almost no celestial bodies, not even dust.
This is a restricted area for interstellar civilizations. No matter what energy a civilization uses, it cannot get any supplies in such a vacuum zone. This is the real factor restricting interstellar civilization travel. Even the Kingdom of Light does not dare to go to such a place at will, so the scope of the Kingdom of Light's activities is still within the Milky Way.
I didn't expect that Zoda was hiding in the vacuum zone.
This time, its hiding place was severely damaged. Even the Technology Development Bureau of the Kingdom of Light could not tell where the attack came from, as if it appeared out of thin air. All that could be determined was that Zoda was injured by the attack.
Yes, it was not an interstellar expedition by a fleet of some civilization as previously believed. Zoda was attacked only once, for a moment.
Chapter 307: Revenge of the Giant Salamander
"The only thing that is certain is that the attack was of 'law level'," said Zoffy.
"'Law level'?!" Seven repeated in disbelief, "So it was really the 'King' who took action?"
"It shouldn't be. The captain went to King's Planet to verify it, and the king didn't take any action."
"But if it weren't for the King, where would there be any 'law level' in this universe?"
The current universe where their Space Guard is stationed is still relatively peaceful, and there is no "law level" (the King Star belongs to the outside of the universe)
Therefore, civilizations such as Ampela and Rebrando were once kings and hegemons in the past. But no matter how powerful they were, it was in vain. Even if they were powerful for ten thousand or one hundred thousand years, they would eventually fall.
Because they are not 'immortal.' The true law is immortal.
Even in the universe, there are only a handful of people who can reach the law level. In addition to King Ao, there are only a few legendary "gods", such as Noah and Regido. The judge of a certain universe, Drasion, can barely be considered half a god.
Law-level attacks are not about the strength of energy, but about changing the rules of the universe. They can arbitrarily modify the speed of light, change the laws of thermodynamics, reverse the law of causality, and do all kinds of impossible things that should never happen, as a means of attack.
Therefore, there is no way to dodge or defend against it, as the outcome is determined the moment the attack occurs.
The fact that Zoda survived such an attack could only mean that the attacking civilization did not want it to die. There is no other possibility.
All living beings are ants under the law, and Zouda is just a slightly larger ant.
"There is such a powerful civilization in this universe?"
It's a real king bomb. Civilizations at the law level can move freely in any universe without any hindrance, and there is no distinction between good and evil, light and darkness.
They are already immortal.
Seven looked towards the Earth, hoping that there would be no threat there. Although the planet gave birth to a guardian, in Seven's heart, it was still a child who needed to be cared for, far from being truly independent.
Law level, even the Ultra Brothers cannot stop such an enemy.
Mount Fuji, Sengen Shrine.
Since the last time Mount Fuji nearly erupted, the shrine has seen fewer visitors.
To be more precise, Sengen Taisha Shrine is deserted. Although two or three months have passed, people still remember the sight of black chimneys emitting from Mount Fuji.
Everyone is so scared. The eruption of Mount Fuji is the deepest fear engraved in the blood of the islanders.
Today, however, the shrine had an unexpected visitor.
"Oshima Miko! I'm sorry to have neglected to greet you for coming."
Shimazu remained the same, quiet and peaceful. That incident did not change her at all.
Some people are like this. After a few months or even years, when they meet again, it is still as if they remembered yesterday.
There was no change at all, as if the years had forgotten to pass through her.
"Hello." Ling also saluted in a familiar manner. She had done this action so many times that she had become accustomed to it from the initial awkwardness.
Shimazu brewed tea, her movements gracefully demonstrating the true tea ceremony. Lingya was not usually interested in drinking tea, but any thing, when done to the extreme, is pleasing to the eye.
So, even though the matcha was not quite to my taste, it was surprisingly delicious.
Ling came to visit Shimazu, not because of the shrine, or it could be said that it was about the shrine maiden.
"Being an actor in a TV series? I can't do that."
When it came to the actual purpose of the visit, Shimazu refused without even thinking about it, because it was something she had never considered.
She was just a shrine maiden. Even though she was an incompetent shrine maiden without any magical powers, she did continue to practice as a shrine maiden and never thought about changing careers to do other things.
"It's not that difficult, Shimazu Miko. You just need to play yourself."
"Myself?"
"Yes, a witch who is willing to sacrifice herself for the blessing of the villagers."
He died as a result of Naraku's plot. Naraku originally wanted to create a demon god full of resentment.
Even if an ordinary evil person dies, what is born is an evil ghost.
Only a truly devout saint who is betrayed by his own beliefs can become a demon.
However, even though she died with resentment, Kikyo did not do as Naraku expected. She was still concerned about not bringing danger to the villagers.
She sealed Inuyasha, who she thought was the culprit, and took the Four Souls Jewel away. She did not become a demon, nor even a ghost.
She just quietly accepted her fate and entered the cycle of reincarnation without any regrets.
She was clean from beginning to end.
"Kikyou, she is such a miko."
Shimazu moved his lips, his refusal becoming less firm. She was indeed an admirable miko.
"But can I really? I've never been an actor."
If you say you don't want to be an actress, in fact every girl is born with the dream of becoming a star, otherwise those scammers claiming to be scouts on the street would not be able to succeed so often.
But Shimazu was not sure whether he was really suitable for the profession. Or, in other words, whether the profession of "shrine maiden" could be used as an entertainer.
