Chapter 416 He will bear all the responsibility

Chapter 416 He will bear all the responsibility

The sun shone through the broken buildings onto the devastated ground, and the air was filled with the scent of dust and plants.

This ruin was once a symbol of human civilization, but now it has been completely destroyed by the forces of war and nature, leaving only desolation.

"this world……"

Although the two said they were just taking a casual walk, they were actually heading towards the World Tree Tower.

Kuzuba Kota looked around and whispered, "After Sawame City was invaded by the aliens who were the overlords living in the Helheim Forest, the World Tree Consortium activated their scalar weapons and tried to destroy both the aliens and the forest."

The so-called "scalar weapon"——

This was a clearing plan that the World Tree Foundation had formulated from the beginning to prevent the erosion of the forest after it began research on the Heim Underworld in Sawame City.

That is a horrific weapon that can destroy the entire Sawamaya City in one go!
That's why Sawamaya City has become the ruins it is today.

However, the "overlord aliens" are not as easy to be eliminated as humans imagine.

Although the cracks in Helheim's underworld can be found all over the world, only Sawame City has been most severely eroded. Therefore, the overlord aliens also used this city as a base to invade humans.

Apart from human mercenaries with a purpose and some armored knights, no one would move in this city anymore.

"Most of us Armored Riders have chosen to stay in this city and fight. I...I in this world also want to take back the future of Sawame City."

Kuzuya Hirota looked up at the World Tree Tower still standing not far away.

Kawahara said noncommittally: "Do you want to fight for Sawame City, or for the golden fruit in the hands of the overlord foreigner?"

Due to the activeness of the dominant foreigners, the "Golden Fruit" that can dominate everything is no longer a secret in this world caught in conflict.

Therefore, not only those street dancing knights, but also many humans on the earth have ambitions for the fruit. They flock to this disaster-stricken city one after another, trying to obtain the legendary power.

So the city became more and more dilapidated in their struggle, just like the melee in the dream world.

Kuzuya Kota suddenly stopped walking forward, turned his head and looked at Kawahara, with a look in his eyes that was sharper than ever before.

"I must get the golden fruit!"

He said this with a determined tone.

Will Kuzuba Kota in another world also fall into the vortex of desire for power regardless of everything?

Kawahara also stopped and turned to look at Kuzuba Kota, who had completely lost his youthfulness and looked at him with a calm gaze.

"why?"

Why does Kuzuya Kota, who has become a god in another time and space, have such feelings?

Is it because he was tempted by such power?
Ge Yehong looked at the World Tree Tower again and said, "Time is unique, so no matter how it changes, there will always be a time that "has already happened". But time also has infinite possibilities. Different choices will cause it to extend countless branches, just like the branches on the main trunk of the World Tree. "

Kawahara understood this statement. Although he had sent Mai Takashige out of Sawame City, another Daughter of Origin still appeared in this world.

"but……"

Kuzuya Kota suddenly changed the subject: "As long as I in the 'World of Possibility' also become the Man of Origin, then the future of that timeline can be combined into one and converge on me!"

Hearing this, Kawahara suddenly had an idea.

——The Man of Origin is also unique?

Therefore, as long as Kuzuya Kota in one world becomes the Man of Origin, his consciousness will be able to connect to himself in countless possible worlds. This is also the reason why he can appear in front of Kawahara at this moment.

Kuzuya Kota sighed at this time: "The result of this trial is cruel no matter what. Saving the earth requires too much cost and too much loss. I don't want anyone's future to be painful."

Kawahara listened thoughtfully: "So, you want to encourage yourself in every world to obtain the golden fruit."

"That's right!"

Kuzuya Hirotaka said with a complicated expression: "Takahiro... I know he did these things to atone for his sins. The future he chose may be good for the world, but it is a punishment for himself. I don't want him to do that."

"But why?" Kawahara suddenly sneered.

"What?" Ge Yehong was stunned.

"Because you are only depriving them of the right to possess power under the idea of ​​'for their own good', Kuzuya Kota, aren't you really trying to prevent others from having a future of victory just because you desire this power?" Kawahara approached him with a sharp gaze.

"……what?"

Kuzuba Kota seemed a little confused and blinked: "... Kawahara-san, are you talking about yourself?"

Kawahara: "..."

The scene fell silent instantly.

Kuzuya Hirota, who became a god, is really brave!
When Kawahara's face gradually darkened, Kuzuba Kota smiled again and said, "I have nothing to do with this kind of thing!"

Kawahara stared at him expressionlessly.

Kuzuya Hirotaka smiled and said, "I won't change anyway, but even if Takatora gets the golden fruit, it will only add another ending in a parallel universe. I don't want Takatora in other worlds to experience all this."

If there must be someone who takes responsibility for everything in this trial for the "Golden Fruit", then Ge Yehong really wants that person to be himself.

When all the Kuzuya Kota in the world obtained the golden fruit, when all the futures came together.

I wish he could bear all the pain.

"so--"

Kuzuya Kota looked at Kawahara earnestly with a hint of pleading and said, "Kawahara, I also hope that you can give up that matter."

Give up the idea of ​​letting Takatora Wudao go that far.

Because they all knew what the outcome would be for Takatora Wudao, who had promoted the development of the Sengoku Drive in the World Tree Foundation, was in charge of the research on the Helheim Forest, sacrificed many humans to become aliens in the experiments, and would never let human civilization be destroyed.

He will definitely not let me go.

Kawahara was silent for a long time, and then he spoke slowly and meaningfully: "What I want to do..."

"I know what you're going to do!"

However, Ge Ye Hongtai suddenly interrupted him.

Kawahara looked over with a slightly changed expression.

Facing his inquiring gaze, Ge Yehong nodded seriously and said again: "I know that you are doing these things to verify something."

"You know..." Kawahara was a little stunned.

"Yes! So please rest assured, as long as you keep walking slowly like this, you will definitely reach the end!" Kuzuya Hirota gave him a thumbs up with certainty.

"Then tell me in detail."

Then Kawahara continued with the second half of the conversation with a smile.

Kuzuya Hirota's smile froze immediately. He withdrew his fingers and scratched his head awkwardly, saying, "But I'm not too sure about this..."

Even though he has become a god, this guy still looks like he is sometimes reliable and sometimes fails.

Kawahara looked thoughtful and didn't say anything else. The two of them slowly walked to the bottom of the World Tree Tower.

……

This huge building with a crown-shaped platform also became dilapidated during the war. Because there used to be a rift leading to the underworld of Helheim here, it was also the place where armored knights and overlord aliens came and went most frequently.

But for some reason, they did not encounter any humans or aliens when they were walking slowly along the way.

Kawahara looked back at the desolate and dilapidated city, then walked into the World Tree Tower. Kuzuya Kota paused for a moment before following him in. In the depths of the tower, where there was a crack, the crack still existed, but there was an unclear white light on the other side.

Kawahara suddenly spoke up at this time: "Kota, do you still remember... in which time and space you first became the Man of Origin?"

If every Kuzuya Kota who obtained the "Golden Fruit" can gather into the only man of origin, then is he still the original Kuzuya Kota?

Carrying the sorrow and future of countless worlds, does he really remember what his original self was like?

"what?"

Kuzuya Hirotaka in front of him was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and said: "I am not too sure about this kind of thing, but I know that it must be the world that Kawahara has experienced!"

A familiar smile appeared on his face, a smile as innocent, warm and contagious as a child's.

It turns out that Kuzuya Kota in every world is pretty much the same.

"I see. I think I understand."

Kawahara smiled, crossed his arms and looked at Kuzuya Hirota, and stretched out his tone: "But..."

Hearing this, Kuzuya Kota looked serious and asked, "What?"

"I won't interfere with what you are going to do, but I have also promised Takatora Wudao from the beginning - so if Takatora does not intend to give up the golden fruit, I will not force him to change his choice." Kawahara said with a smile on his face.

“Eh? Eh——?”

Kuzuba Hirota stared blankly and said, "How can this be... If Takatora decides, then there will be no difference at all, right? Kawahara-san, can't you just stop Takatora?"

"No, because I said I would respect his decision. I'm not the type to deprive others of their power!" Kawahara snorted coldly.

"What are you saying? If I had known, I would have brought Guihu in directly. There would be no need..."

Having confirmed his attitude, Kuzuya Hirotaka grumbled.

Kawahara narrowed his eyes slightly: "What did you say?"

Kuzuba Kota: “No…”

So Kawahara smiled again and walked forward: "Since there is nothing else, I will go back first. I don't know what the world is like now."

Kuzuya Hirotaka tilted his head and muttered: "Maybe he has been dissected..."

Kawahara turned back suddenly: "What?"

"No, no, no - Kawahara-san, you'd better go back quickly! Well... because I can't project the consciousness from another time and space over here for too long... ah~ I feel like I can't hold on any longer!..." Kuzuya Hirota said incoherently.

"..."

Kawahara stared at him for a while, then walked into the crack and his figure instantly disappeared in a white light.

Seeing him leave, Kuzuya Kota heaved a sigh of relief, then scratched his head in distress: "The current situation is really difficult, how can we stop Guihu..."

After thinking for a while, Ge Yehongtai raised his head as if he had made up his mind.

"We just have to try!"

A burst of brilliant light burst out from him.

After taking off his somewhat worn gray-blue denim jacket, the man bathed in light wore sacred silver-white armor, with a wide white cape like a cloak fluttering out from the shoulder armor on both sides.

Kuzuba Hirota, who had short light blond hair, opened his eyes. One of his eyes was dark red and so deep that it seemed as if there was a whirlpool flowing in it.

——The Man of Origin!
Kuzuya Kota, whose true face was revealed, looked towards the crack.

Using the underworld of Helheim as a medium, he found himself floating in another world.

But when he tried to put his consciousness into that world, he was hit by an unimaginable huge force, so much so that Kuzuya Kota, who was standing in front of the crack, was blown away for a distance.

wow——

Kuzuya Hirota frowned as he hit the wall. He saw a huge gear flash by like a phantom from the impact just now.

"It really doesn't work..."

He couldn't take the initiative to interfere with what was happening over there.

The reason why he was able to contact Kawahara this time was simply because of the connection between the apple lock seed and the golden fruit.

Perhaps because he had too many similar experiences, Kuzuya Kota really couldn't remember in which world he became the man of origin, although he knew that Kawahara must exist in that world.

but……

That guy will also run around all over time and space!

"What should we do, Takashi..."

Kuzuya Hirota was thinking hard, and suddenly his eyes moved, and he looked back to that world, and saw Takashi Mai in it.

"dance……"

He stared at the girl who had not yet accepted her fate, and after a slight hesitation, he firmed himself up again and projected his will into that time and space.

After doing all this, Kuzuya Kota turned his head and looked at the city of Sawame that had been destroyed in the war. In fact, whether it was such a destroyed world, or the timeline in which Wudao Takatora, Qiwen Jiedou, and even Wudao Mitsumi obtained the golden fruit, they all existed.

But no one in Kuzuya Kota wanted to see such an ending, and he didn't want to see everyone sinking in endless battles and regrets.

"Jie Dou..."

"Guihu..."

“Mitsushi…”

"Please leave your future to me!"

Gazing at this hopeless world, the figure of the Man of Origin gradually turned into golden light particles and dissipated. Then the entire Sawame City began to disappear translucently.

And in the next moment——

The dream wakes up again.

Kuzuya Hirota, who was wearing a gray-blue denim jacket, suddenly opened his eyes, staggered and stood in the ruins, looking at the familiar city with a blank face.

"What's wrong with me?"

It seemed like I had a very long dream just now.

Although he could remember vividly what happened in the dream, there was a sense of unreality and illusion, as if it was shrouded in a layer of fog, making it difficult for him to recall.

Kuzuya Hirota scratched his head, and suddenly turned to look at the World Tree Tower standing not far away, and a firm idea arose in his mind.

"No matter what, I will definitely take back the future of this world!"

After saying this seriously, a smile appeared on Kusanagi Hirota's confused face again, and he immediately walked towards the depths of Sawame City.

Then, amidst the ruins filled with the smell of dust and plants and full of broken walls and broken walls—

The figure of an alien appeared!

Kuzuya Kota immediately took out the orange lock seeds.

"Henshin (Transformation)!"
