In one minute, the King of Ultra did defeat Dark Lucifer.
But there is still no peace in the world...
This time it is the devil Satan who appears!
It is much more terrifying than Dark Lucifer. No attack can have any effect on it. It is immune to physical attacks and light attacks. Even the Supreme Quantum Streamline is just a tickle to it.
Ling also knew that if she summoned Ultra King again, she might be able to defeat the devil Satan.
But what's the point? After Satan, isn't there a more terrible enemy?
Of course, she could guess the names, since the patterns were all based on Western mythology.
Dark Jehovah?
What happens after that?
Those are just codes and have no actual meaning.
That is the source of destruction. The birth and destruction of the universe are equivalent. He is the world itself. The world believes that it is time for its destruction, and anyone who tries to stop it will be the enemy of the world.
No matter what she did, she couldn't change the final outcome.
【Give up.】
She heard Gaia's voice, but it was very faint.
It's not that Gaia is weak, Gaia is immortal. It's herself who is weak, and there is not much light left for her from Gaia.
Ling also knew that once she really exhausted all this light, she would not even be able to leave this world. She could only stay here and be buried with this world that was bound to be destroyed.
But should she really give up? She had done this countless times, but she still couldn't convince herself.
"Try again... Gaia, please let me try again."
[This is the 172nd time]
Ling was silent for a few seconds.
It turned out to be 172 times. Well, if Gaia hadn't reminded her, she would have forgotten it long ago.
She went back in time 172 times, some of the longest times were one or two years before the world was shattered, and some were only a few weeks.
According to the time she has experienced, she is already a centenarian, right?
She really didn't remember, looking back at the world's time, and also looking back at her own time. Now she was still only 12 years old in terms of her biological age.
"Please let me do it again, this time..."
She wanted to guarantee success, but such a guarantee was worthless. She was bound to fail.
[I will not interfere with human choices, and of course I will not interfere with your choices. But how many times can you endure it? ]
Gaia's light is really about to go out.
"One more time, just once."
She knew she was deceiving herself, but she couldn't bear to watch the destruction of a world. It wasn't just the death of one person, but the destruction of the entire earth and even the surrounding galaxies.
then--
Well, it should be said that it was back then. For her, it was more than a hundred years ago.
When she was in the ZAT team, she had seen the destruction of the Ursa Major constellation and the last shadow of life wandering in the universe. She had seen such a disaster. Now it was the turn of the Earth and the human race.
Gaia said nothing more.
Ling also looked at the devil Satan, and the other party also looked at her.
Stepping onto the timeline and going back in time, Ling also steps towards the river of time.
The last time they looked at each other, Satan continued to look at her, without any attempt to stop her. The demon god had no joy or anger, but Ling could clearly feel the mockery.
Pointless struggle, like a clown, knowing nothing will change. So stupid.
The timeline became more muddy than before 172 times, like a strong glue that made it difficult for her to move forward. But Ling also worked hard and still walked to the front of the timeline.
"This world will not be destroyed. As long as there is hope, there will be a future."
Ling also deceived herself.
Chapter 500: Association
"Gu Men, sometimes you have to learn to relax a little. Making peace with yourself is a science."
The incessant chatter of my seniors can be heard in my ears.
Although he felt a little sorry, Ikki Komon didn't pay attention to what the senior said. He just regarded it as background noise.
He is a member of the rescue team, and because of him, the rescue operation this morning almost failed.
Sometimes, Gu Men would wonder if he was not suitable for the rescue team.
He let out a long sigh.
"You didn't even listen to me, did you?"
"Ah? Sorry, Senior!"
Although I don't know what to say, it's right to apologize first.
Sakamoto sighed helplessly. The newcomers nowadays don't make any sense at all.
Gu Men couldn't understand his senior's feelings.
There was a TV hanging on the wall of the lounge, and suddenly the news broadcast a news report about a gas explosion.
[NHK News, frontline reporter reported that a gas pipeline explosion occurred in Shinjuku District, Tokyo last night. It is understood that the gas leak was caused by the construction party's excavation. Fortunately, the accident did not cause any casualties. At present, the relevant departments have ordered the construction party to be responsible for the production safety accident, make rectifications and compensate. ]
It's a gas explosion again. This excuse works every time.
Gu Men recalled a strange physical examination he had a week ago.
I received a sudden notification, was blindfolded and taken to a strange place, and underwent an exaggeratedly complicated physical examination.
Because the physical examination was directly issued by the rescue team, it was thought that every member of the team had to participate, but it turned out that only he had to participate. Even after the physical examination, he was told that it was a confidential matter and could not be disclosed to anyone.
He instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this physical examination, but he didn't understand why he was chosen.
Could it be——
People who carry secrets are always particularly sensitive.
"Let's have a drink together after get off work."
"Ah? Sorry, senior, I don't know how to drink."
"Gumen, you may not understand work matters, but if you don't even understand the culture of leaving get off work, it will be very difficult for you to work in the future."
This was a heartfelt statement, but Gu Men didn't go after all. Because before he got off work, he received a message on his phone, which was indeed something more important.
The message looked nothing special, just a public service announcement sent to a group of people, and only he understood its meaning.
Instead of going home, Gu Men hid in the toilet cubicle and put on a device similar to earphones.
【Link start】
He didn't say anything, but just silently said it in his mind. Then the whole vision was dark.
It was as if all five senses, including hearing and vision, were taken away. Komon did not panic. This was not the first time. The next moment, all his senses were restored.
From the toilet cubicle at the rescue centre, he emerged into a lush garden.
Everything is just like the real thing.
Gu Men really hoped that this was true, because only here could he feel relaxed both mentally and physically, as if he had been freed from the shackles.
He couldn't explain the reason. In the real world outside of this virtual world, even on a sunny day under the sun, people still felt depressed.
Ordinary people cannot feel it because they have been like this since birth, and the same is true for Gu Men.
But since coming here, the clear contrast made Gu Men realize this.
There are anomalies in his world.
The Gu Men here is not your own appearance. Just like registering a character in a game, you can choose your own character at will and you can also "pinch your face" by yourself.
He chose the appearance of a character for no particular reason, except that his name happened to be the same as his, Ikki Komon.
He was a man wearing strange armor, but that armor would obviously not be practical if he were really on the battlefield. It would be more for show.
Phoenix Ikki
"Good evening, Mr. Ikki, I'm sorry to bother you."
A young girl appeared in front of Gu Men.
"Ms. Kainaer, is there a mission... Is there another monster appearing?"
"Yes, the fluctuations of alien beasts were detected at the gas station near Suehiro-cho in Akihabara. But Mr. Ikki, if you are too tired, I can assign it to someone else."
This place is just like the mercenary guild in the story, where you can accept missions and get rewards.
I am a bit tired indeed. Today, I was doing rescue work on the top of a mountain. Because I was trapped in the fog, I thought of a near-death experience in the past.
The feeling was so bad that he felt dazed the whole day.
But Gu Men shook his head.
"Please let me go, I'm fine."
"Don't push yourself too hard. You should remember what I told you at the beginning. If you frequently come into contact with alien beasts, the concentration of alien beast factors in your body will increase, and you may even degenerate into a monster. Don't forget why you originally fought for."
Of course he remembered that the battle was to allow everyone to continue living peacefully under the sun.
This is so that Lizi can continue to draw the animal family in the zoo with peace of mind.
This secret "society" has no name. He asked Miss Kenar about it at the beginning, and Kenar said maybe it could be called "Earth Team"?
It was a question. Apparently, Kainar also felt that there was something wrong.
It was indeed a bad name, reminding Komon of special effects dramas like "Ninja Sentai" that he watched when he was a child.
Kainaer admitted that she didn't know how to name things, and the eldest lady was the same, so let's just ignore the name thing.
The first time they met was when he met Liko. Liko and her family were attacked by alien beasts, and it was the people from this society who saved them.
After that, Lizi's memory about the alien beasts was cleared and she was taken over by a special unit called the "Memory Police". Komon should have had his memory cleared as well, but he got away with it because of the "Association".
