Through the white light, replaced by pitch darkness, different from the usual night darkness, the extreme depth of pitch black even makes the distance of half a sub-moment around it impossible to see clearly, as if in a world composed of black, there is no color except black, but Ike is not the slightest nervous and uncomfortable, if you can see his expression at this time, you can also see a trace of remembrance flashing in his eyes.

"You're here again—" A strange voice resounded in this black space, it was a woman's voice, and her cold and calm voice made people think of the steel saintess who had not changed color for ten thousand years. The ethereal sound seems to come from the far end of the world, and it is full of space as if it is spoken in your ear.

"Yes, I'm back." Ike retracted his remembrance and replied, "But I guess you should have known I'd be back, right?" ”

"Of course, although the contact has not been made for a long time, you are a trustworthy person, and it can be seen that you will return here when you leave because you want more power." The female voice replied with some melodious answers.

"If that's the case, why don't you light up this place, just like last time, it's not a good habit to entertain guests in such a dark place, at least for humans." Ike seemed to be accustomed to women, and replied relaxedly, "Anyway, this space is under your control, so it's not difficult to get a light or something, right?" ”

"For me, it makes no difference whether it's dark or light." The woman replied, "But since that's what you say, it's as you wish." ”

As the female voice landed, the entire dark space suddenly became unusually bright, and the extreme light made Ike can't help but close his eyes, and wait until his eyes have adjusted for a while before slowly opening his eyes. In front of him, a space with nothing, a white space that was so wide that there were almost no borders, a woman who looked very similar to the Fullmetal Maiden stood in front of Ike, and if it weren't for the almost iconic armor of the Fullmetal Maiden, even those who knew her well would have been mistaken for her.

"As always, there's nothing, but you don't have to show me this face." Ike sighed and muttered in a low voice, "It's good that I didn't let you light up this broken place in the first place, otherwise there might be some psychological shadow... ”

"This place can change with my will, as long as there are non-living objects in this space." The eyes of the woman who looked like a saint of steel were fixed on Ike, and as her voice sounded, the empty space around her suddenly remembered a violent vibration, and one building after another rose from the ground or fell from the sky or out of thin air or slowly built, and in a short time the two stood in the Tolz Military Academy.

"That's a handy ability." Although Ike was still a little surprised, he didn't answer in a panic at all, and pulled out the magic sword that had been behind him from its scabbard and stuck it on the floor tiles of the military academy without saying a word.

"Although it was just a joke at the beginning, I didn't expect you to actually do something that no one has done for hundreds of years." The woman's words were surprised, but her expression did not change in the slightest answer, and her eyes glanced at Ike's magic sword inserted in the ground, "There is empty power and phantom power in the Evoking Stone, which can't be faked, but you still don't want to accept the conditions I proposed?" ”

"As I said, I'm not interested in disputes between gods, and I don't dare to be interested. As a human being, it would have been arrogant to covet the dispute between the gods, not to mention that I am not a priest, I just need strength, and I need the strength to increase my strength to come back here, and you are the best candidate. Ike replied, "I don't need any of the rewards you mentioned, humans should be like humans, or, I know a few people who want to become gods, and it's no surprise that they're all dead." ”

"You can see that you are a greedy and cautious person, who wants to gain but does not dare to take risks. It's just that you, as a human being, don't you really want it? Hundreds of lifespans longer than ordinary people. Humans are a short-lived species, and intelligence limits them from being able to live a long life. ”

"What about you?" Ike suddenly asked, looking at her with a smile, "You have lived in this space for hundreds or even thousands of years, how do you feel?" I'm afraid it's no longer alive, right? ”

"I'm not human, and I can't leave this monotonous world, if it weren't for you, I'd always be dormant, but I can feel the colorful world of the outside world from your mind."

"Some things are always beautiful because they are short, the rarer things are, the more cherished they are, once they are too much and discarded wantonly, human beings are such existences, those ancestors who perished in ancient times are the best examples, so I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you again, and I still have family waiting for me at home, if only I can live for so long, they will be unhappy." Ike grinned, "It's you, I've heard from the elders, you're a 'prop' created by the power of the gods and the soul of a human, but even if it's a prop, there is no doubt that you have the soul of a human, so why don't you try to get out of here and choose to live as a prop?" ”

“。。。 In all these hundreds of years, you were the first to ask me that question. "For the first time, there was a confused color in a woman's eyes" But I don't know, no one told me to do it, no one told me what to do... ”

"Isn't that a matter of course? Since they need the chips you give, and in order to realize the chips, they need you to be such a prop, since now is an opportunity, why not try your human soul hidden in the depths of your heart? Ike whispered as if instigating, "Human greed is the most powerful weapon in the world, and humans who fight for lust are comparable to ghosts and gods." ”

“。。。 Very wonderful persuasion. The confused look didn't last long, and the coldness and ruthlessness once again replaced the human emotions that had just emerged, and the cold female looked at Ike, "Since you dare to challenge the status of the gods so blatantly, then you must be ready to accept the punishment, right?" ”

"Although I really want to release your human soul, a pretty girl is a good companion than a cold machine, isn't it?" Ike bared his teeth and pulled out the magic sword inserted in the ground again, and the surging magic power quickly attached to Ike with the pull out of the magic sword, and the rough attachment method made Ike can't help but let out a loud roar, the golden pupils instantly replaced the pitch black, and the silver magic power continued to flicker on the body, and the power of the illusionary treasure and the empty treasure was actually blessed on the body at the same time.

"It's a really good place, you won't die, your body won't collapse because you can't withstand the power of the Supreme Treasure, and in the end, there's no better place to train than here." Ike's eyes flashed with a deep light, and even the strengthening of his body, he was fully open at the first time.

"Instead, there is endless pain and scenes of death that repeat over and over again." The woman looked at Ike coldly, and conjured a huge knight's spear out of thin air in her hand, "Accept the sanctions." ”

"Then let's give it a try!"
