"Are you okay with staying here like this, Guardian of Gensokyo? This is obviously an anomaly, right?"
The room, which should have been empty except for Reimu, had a gap in the air and Yakumo Yukari's voice came from inside.
"It snows in winter. It's a common thing."
"Are you doing this on purpose? There is no winter or summer in Gensokyo. The four seasons here are only spring and autumn. You should have known this a long time ago, right?"
The summer is too hot and the winter is too cold. The gods who created this place don't like those two seasons, so Gensokyo only has the cycle of spring and autumn.
Six months of spring and six months of autumn, alternating between warm and cool. That is the daily life in Gensokyo.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard on the wooden floor of the corridor of Hakurei Shrine. Only one person could make such a sound.
brush--
The sliding door opened and Marisa (Sanae) hurried in.
"Reimu Reimu Reimu! Look, I caught a winter monster!"
"Welcome, Sanae. Youkai are everywhere in Gensokyo. There's no point in catching any of them."
Reimu said listlessly while hiding in the kotatsu.
"Want some mandarin oranges? Peel them yourself."
Marisa had no intention of eating mikan. In her hometown of Izumo, there were plenty of these oranges everywhere in the mountains. They were only rare in Tokyo.
The moment Marisa opened the sliding door, Yakumo Yukari had disappeared. The only thing in the room that was still chattering was the so-called "winter monster" held in Marisa's hand.
"Let me go, let me go! I am the strongest fairy Cirno!"
"This is not the time to say something like that!" Marisa said dissatisfiedly.
She threw Cirno out of the house and quickly closed the door. It was freezing cold.
"Who said there's no winter in Gensokyo? It's obviously a strange change now. Isn't it time for us to show our skills?"
Marisa has been waiting for this day since she learned about the existence of Gensokyo and came here. Protect Gensokyo, deal with the changes, and have a thrilling battle.
It's simply a dream come true.
But Reimu obviously had no fighting spirit.
Cirno's voice "Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!" was heard from outside the window, but as Marisa turned her head and stared out of the window, the voice disappeared immediately, and the ice crystal monster flew away in a hurry.
Although she thinks she is the strongest fairy in Gensokyo, this black and white demon is a human being and there is no conflict.
"Hey, Sanae, do you hate winter that much?"
"It's Marisa! I'm Yumiri Marisa here!"
"Hi hi~" Reimu responded insincerely. Urged by Marisa, she finally climbed out of the kotatsu.
She opened the sliding door, and cold wind poured into the room, causing Marisa to shiver. Reimu didn't feel anything special. As the guardian shrine maiden of Gensokyo, she was immune to the cold and heat here. She hid in the kotatsu simply because she liked the feeling.
"where are you going?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to look for the anomaly? Come with me."
We didn't walk far. In fact, there was an open space in a snow-covered forest behind the Hakurei Shrine. A strange plant had grown in the center of the open space at some point.
It's even impossible to tell if it's a plant, it's crystal clear, or it's ice crystals.
In the center, there lies a tiny fairy, a cute little doll, like a newborn baby.
"what is this?"
"Isn't that what you're looking for? The winter monster."
There are simply no winter monsters in Gensokyo. Outside of Gensokyo, Reimu has never heard of such monsters according to what Yakumo Yukari said.
But what does it matter? There is the passing away of oblivion, and there is also the rebirth of life.
As long as you yearn for the light and desire it from the bottom of your heart, you will be accepted, regardless of whether you are a life on Earth or not.
Past sins cannot be forgiven, only death can cleanse everything. Death can forgive all sins, and after that, new life will always be pure and spotless.
Everything is a new beginning.
The little baby opened his eyes for the first time and looked at this bright and new world. There was no good or evil, just like a blank sheet of paper.
Chapter 457: The Invincible Zoffy Falls
Above the blue waves, the water shines to the sky.
The once red land turned into a blue sea.
The underground water resources on Mars are much richer than imagined, and what humans have explored is only the tip of the iceberg. When the Yabo people used alien technology to guide the underground water to the surface, Mars became "Mercury".
At the same time, they activated the long-cooled core of the earth, generating geothermal heat, making it no longer extremely cold, transformed the atmosphere, and changed the gravity environment in a way that humans cannot understand.
The atmospheric composition, gravitational constant, everything was moving closer to the Earth. In just a few months, another planet with life appeared in the solar system.
Planet transformation technology is an essential technology for a level 3 civilization.
Primary civilizations are able to leave their own star systems and explore outward;
Level II civilizations are able to migrate and settle between star systems;
Apart from eliminating the obstruction of advanced civilizations, settlements can be established anywhere in the Milky Way galaxy. This is the standard of a third-level civilization.
Therefore, transforming the planet's environment is of course a necessary skill. The Yabo clan, who have been able to build nests in other dimensions, are the best among them.
If the Yabo people wanted, they could transform such a settlement anywhere outside the solar system. But what they need is not a settlement, but Gaia's protection. Therefore, Mars is particularly precious to the Yabo people.
At least, they would not leave here even if they were beaten to death until it was confirmed that Zoda was destroyed by the Land of Light or Gaia.
After several months of transformation, some cities have sporadically appeared on the surface of Mars. For some reason, the architectural style of the cities is somewhat similar to that of the Earth.
"The scenery is so beautiful. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought I was in a coastal city somewhere on Earth."
The people walking on the streets are all Yabo people who look completely different from humans. Apart from that, this place is really no different from Earth. Ling, who came to Mars on a whim, felt as if she had not left Earth, but just came to a water city in Europe.
"We're glad you like it! We were worried that you would blame us for destroying the ecology of Mars." The Yabo people said with a hint of flattery and joy.
In fact, Gaia is just the will of the earth, and Mars is not considered her territory.
However, according to the commonly accepted rules among star-level civilizations in the Milky Way, when a star system has only one main civilization and that main civilization has a primary or higher level of civilization, it is assumed to have sovereignty over the entire star system.
Therefore, in the eyes of other civilizations, including Mars, the entire solar system is obviously Gaia's territory. Even in the star maps used by the Galactic Federation, the distance of several light years outside the solar system is marked as the territory of Earth civilization, including several star systems such as Proxima Centauri.
Humans themselves don’t even know how large their territory is.
This is respect due to strength.
“Is it spring here now?”
"Yes, it's mid-spring now. Because of the different orbital periods, a year here is 24 months according to Earth time."
Mars's orbital period is about 6 days, twice that of Earth, so the length of a year here is also twice that of Earth. In Earth time, each season, spring, summer, autumn and winter, lasts for months.
Early spring, mid-spring, late spring, now is the most brilliant season of spring.
The sea breeze blew, and Lingye sat on the wooden boardwalk by the sea, feeling refreshed. There were seabirds flying in the sky, which were species that Yabo had extradited from Earth with Lingye's consent.
“If possible, it would be great if the school’s off-campus extension studies could be arranged here.”
"Of course you are welcome, just come here!"
Although Yabo didn't understand what extracurricular extension studies were, he just nodded in agreement.
The so-called extracurricular extension learning is similar to the spring and autumn outings at Lingye’s previous school.
After the open day this weekend, there will be extracurricular extension classes next week.
The activities during this period are more concentrated because it is also the last time of elementary school. After the spring break, she will be a junior high school student.
The word "last time" always makes people feel sad. We can never go back to the same place.
Yabo agreed readily, but it was obvious that this was just Ling's casual sigh. Even if it was an aristocratic school, sometimes they would arrange for students to travel outside of Tokyo, but they would not go to Mars, which is hundreds of millions of kilometers away.
"Hey, Lingye, you're on Mars too."
"Brother Beidou!"
The person who spoke was Beidou Xingji, who was walking down the street, eating a string of snacks.
It is a traditional snack of the Yabo people, berries fried and coated with sugar.
"Why is Brother Beidou here?"
"Huh? Because I was assigned by Brother Zoffy to patrol Mars."
Zoffy went to Neptune, the first generation went to Uranus, Seven and Jack went to Jupiter and Saturn respectively. Finally, Ace was stationed on Mars.
Unlike his brothers, Mars is already a planet with life. Ace simply restored his human form and has lived in the Yabo city for two days.
The scenery was nice, and the Yabo people were very warm and welcoming. They didn't dare to refuse.
When the Yabo people were at their most powerful, half of the super beasts were slaughtered by him.
"Miss, it's almost time. It's already evening in Tokyo." Kainar's projection suddenly appeared and she reminded.
"Time flies."
Before she knew it, a day had already passed. Today was Saturday, and tomorrow, Sunday, would be Open Day.
At this moment, Lingye's gaze suddenly paused in a certain direction in the sky.
"Has it started yet?"
"What?" Yaboto didn't know what Ling was talking about at first, but after a few seconds, he received a communication and realized what was happening.
Yes, it has begun.
Beidou certainly noticed it too.
On the distant Neptune, patrolling Ultraman Zoffy discovered that a terrible monster was breaking into the solar system.
No one knew where it came from. It was like a terrifying monster born from hell. The cosmic tyrant Tyrant appeared so suddenly.
The eldest brother of the Ultra Brothers, the invincible Zoffy, met it head-on and rushed up without hesitation, trying to stop its attempt to invade the earth.
Neptune is a gaseous planet composed of large amounts of hydrogen, helium, methane and ethane. There are more than a dozen satellites around the planet.
The battle took place on Triton.
This is the closest and largest satellite to Neptune. Its retrograde orbit indicates that in the distant astronomical past, it was a celestial body that accidentally broke in from outside the solar system and was captured by Neptune's gravity.
