Volume 9 The Beginning of the End Chapter 17 Kotohime's Wish
In the dark world, Kotohime doesn't feel any life. Everything here is so cold, but in the cold, Kotohime still feels a little warm.
Kotohime looked at the last trace of warmth, and it was Zet who should have been caught standing in front of hime.
"Zette! is that you?" said to Zate, but Zette just shook her head at her and turned to leave.
Jean-hime chased after him and tried to hold Zet, but no matter how hard she ran, she couldn't catch up with Zet, who was just walking.
"Zet, stop, wait a minute, I have something to ask you, wait for me!" Qin Ji shouted as she chased, "Since you have such great power, since you have the ability to perfectly solve everything that happened in the first place, why were you reluctant to do it at that time? Even if you were worried that it would cause disorder, it should be fine if you just intervened appropriately! Answer me! Why did you refuse to take action? Why did you want to watch so many innocent human beings being harmed like that?"
Zet didn't answer, and walked on his own.
"Zet!Zette!" Jean-hime sat up suddenly, there was no Zete in front of him, everything just now was just Jean-hime's dream.
Ilona sat down next to Kotohime and pouted, "I've been calling Zete's name all my dreams, and I'm calling it so loudly." You're really cheating. β
Jean-hime wasn't in the mood to joke with Ilona right now, she was confused about everything that had happened before because she had sensed Zette's power. She didn't know how strong Zette's power was, but the power that existed in that staff alone was not something that Kotohime could imagine. With such a strong force, why is Zete reluctant to make a move?
Kotohime told Ilona about her doubts, and Ilona said, "Isn't it because if you just make a direct move, you will interfere with the rules of the world?"
"But Kanako...... Fiya is not from the earth, she is from the Radian continent and does not belong to this world. The catastrophe she caused was not in line with the order of this world, Zette should be able to interfere, why didn't they interfere at that time?" there was a slight impatience in her tone, as if she was trying to contain her anger.
"Because none of us thought at that time that Kanako was not an earthling. Elona said.
"But now I know!" said Jean Hime, "Now that I know Fiya's identity, why is Zet still unwilling to do it? Not to mention that Zete has dispersed his own power, the power he remains in this staff alone is not comparable to Fiya, and the power he has transformed those two pistols into humans, these powers are as long as he wants, let alone a Fiya, even if there are thousands of Ilona, you are not his opponent!"
Jean was indeed excited, and she was outraged by Zet's irresponsible attitude.
Ilona didn't know what to say, and she didn't know why Jean was angry about this, so she casually excused Zet: "Don't be so angry, Zete may have some plans of his own? After all, that guy is a god, he should have far-reaching plans to say this." β
When Ilona said this, Jean Ji was even more angry, she said: "I don't care what his reason is, the six billion people on this entire earth are because of his personal feud with Feiya, and it is not clear whether there is still one-fifth of the six billion people left, and the governments of various countries are falling apart because of those monsters, there is no upper class that can rule the common people, and there is no army that can protect the people." A prosperous civilization, a great race......, is on the verge of extinction!
Ilona didn't dare to speak, and she could see that Kotohime was very angry now, so Ilona decided not to mess with her for the time being.
And the two pistols next to Ilona also felt the anger of Kotohime at this time, so they decided not to ask for trouble and obediently kept the pistols.
It was still snowing outside, and Ilona stared out the window blankly, not knowing what to say. Qin Ji was also silent for a long time, and then said to Ilona: "Obviously, half a year ago, this was still a busy city, and people lived their own happy lives...... But right now, there are no more than four digits of humans left in the city...... They are all living strongly, with hope, and for them the human world is not over...... But they also knew that no one could save them, and those monsters were beyond the power of the national army, and they could do it...... Only with the last glimmer of impossible hope, looking forward to the last light of the miracle star that can never be lit up in the dark night......"
Kotohime's eyes are so lonely and sad...... It's the first time Ilona has seen a kotohime like this, no, it's not the first time I've seen it. This Kotohime, who is willing to pray for the happiness of others and grieve because of the misfortunes of others, has always been such a person, just like Kotohime, who wanted to save humanity in 2174. Even if she doesn't have any power, even if her existence seems so small, Kotohime will do her best to save anyone she can.
Elona grabbed Kotohime's shoulder and said, "Kotohime, maybe this is just a test for the humans of this world, and you know, the humans of this world have not been destroyed, they have survived this great catastrophe, haven't they? as long as the ending is good......
"Is the ending good?" "Kotohime raised her head and looked at Elona, the flames in those eyes seemed to be ready to swallow Elona at any moment, "You actually told me that this ending was good? Six billion lives were lost, countless crystals of human wisdom were lost in this disaster, and so many beautiful treasures were destroyed by greedy monsters! You actually told me that this was a good ending? You actually said that this was a trial? If it was a trial...... The price is not unavoidable...... It's too heavy, isn't it?"
In the end, she couldn't stop crying, she grabbed her hands and cried bitterly, "Why? Why did it become like this? Why did this turn out to be such a beautiful planet, why is it like this now? Is this the fate of this world? I am really so unwilling! Why am I so powerless? Why are people with power unwilling to take the corresponding responsibility? If I have the power of Zet...... Even if it's only half of it, even if it's only half of Zete's strength, I can save the world......"
Ilona didn't speak, she didn't know what to say at this time.
Qin Ji remembered that Gu Shuo had told her whether she would like to become Gu Shuo's student. If Kotohime had agreed to Gu Shuo at that time, would she have the same power as Zet? Would she have been able to help those who were in despair? If only she had promised him at that time......
Regret, unwillingness, and...... Hate. But not hatred for Zet or Fia, but hatred for himself. Qin Ji hated why she didn't agree to Gu Shuo at that time, why she wanted to commit a mistake at that time, and she thought she was very handsome and rejected the olive branch that Gu Shuo threw at her.
If there was a chance to do it again, Qin Ji would definitely agree to Gu Shuo without hesitation.
If you have the chance to see Gu Shuo again, will you be able to get that chance again? Qin Ji Lian asked Ilona, "Ilona, where is your father? Where is your father? Can you take me to meet him? I have something I want to ask him!"
If there is still a chance, this time Qin Ji will definitely abandon all her dignity and ask Gu Shuo as much as possible. No matter how much it takes, no matter what Gu Shuo asks. As long as she can be given the power to save the world, Kotohime will never complain.
Elona didn't know what Kotohime was thinking, she was puzzled: "I guess it's impossible, I also tried to contact my dad when I first came here, but ......"
Ilona tried to contact Shui Wuyue Shuyue, who was supposed to be unable to contact Shuiwuyue Shuyue at this time, and Shuiwuyue Shuyue said to Ilona: "I already know the specific things, and I can also help Kotohime...... But I can only let Kotohime meet Gu Shuo, and I can't guarantee whether Kotohime will agree to this. β
"What does Kotohime want to do, why does she suddenly want to see Gu Shuo?" Ilona asked Shui Wuyue in confusion.
"You better ask her herself......" After Shui Wuyue Shuyue finished speaking, Ilona saw a crack suddenly appear in front of their eyes, and then Shui Wuyue Shuyue's voice spread out in the space: "Qin Ji, you can see Gu Shuo when you walk into this crack, although I am on your side this time, but I can't give you too much help, so I can do it myself." β
Kotohime glanced at Ilona and stood up without hesitation and walked towards the crack, and Ilona hurriedly followed and said, "I'm going with you too." β
"This matter is my own business, you don't need to follow me. Kotohime said.
Ilona shook her index finger and smiled, "What do you mean I don't have to follow? You're my girlfriend, how can there be such a reason that something happens and leaves my girlfriend alone?"
Looking at Elona's smile, Kotohime relaxed, and she also realized that she shouldn't have been angry with Elona, who had nothing to do with this matter, and Elona didn't know anything, but she was so cruel to her.
"I'm sorry...... Elona ......" Kotohime took Elona's hand and apologized, "I was too excited just now. β
Ilona didn't mind at all and said, "It's okay, I don't care about that." And as I said before, everything you did was right, and I will always be on your side. β
The two walked into the crack, and after a flash of light, they came to a strange room.
In front of them sat a couch, and on the couch sat Zete's teacher, Gu Shuo. There was also a black and white cat lying on Gu Shuo's lap, but it was impossible to tell what breed of cat it was.
Gu Shuo kept scratching the cat's belly, and the flower cat was also happily playing with Gu Shuo, completely ignoring the two people who suddenly appeared in this room.
Elona didn't know what to say, so Kotohime took a step forward and said, "I'm sorry to disturb your rest suddenly, Ancestor......"
Gu Shuo teased the cat without raising his head and said, "Didn't I say that? β
Qin Ji was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The ancestor beat people, and because of Qin Ji's ignorance, I rejected the kindness of the ancestor before...... For her previous rudeness, Kotohime is extremely sorry...... I also hope that the ancestor will give Kotohime another chance......"
Gu Shuo raised his head, looked at Qin Ji and said, "I said, you don't need to call me ancestor or anything, just call me grandpa." β
Qin Ji wanted to turn her head away from looking at Gu Shuo, looking at Gu Shuo's eyes, Qin Ji felt uncomfortable, unable to organize her words properly, but she couldn't retreat in this place.
Kotohime took another step forward and said, "Grandpa, please give Kotohime another chance! Please make Kotohime your student, please give Kotohime the power of being as powerful as Zet!"
"Strength?" Gu Shuo's hand kept teasing the kitten's chin in his arms, and he asked, "What do you want that power for?"
Qin Ji paused, is this Gu Shuo testing himself? If that's the case, he might lose the opportunity if he answers wrong, but what answer Gu Shuo wants? Qin Ji hesitated and didn't know how to answer.
Qin Ji didn't answer, Gu Shuo didn't ask, Ilona watched from the side and didn't know what to do, she felt that this was Qin Ji's own decision, so all she had to do was wait for Qin Ji to answer, and then support Qin Ji for all her choices.
Seeing that Qin Ji was reluctant to answer, Gu Shuo turned to Elona and asked, "She still can't think of an answer, what do you think? If you were her, what would you gain power for?"
Ilona was stunned and said, "I don't know, after all, I'm not interested in that power. Even if I gain power, there is no need to use it, and it is useless to give it to me. β
Qin Ji raised her head suddenly, and she said to Gu Shuo: "I want to use those powers to take on the responsibilities that should belong to capable people, but no one is willing to take them!"
Gu Shuo raised his eyebrows and said curiously, "Are you serious? β
Jean Ji stepped forward again, and she said firmly: "It's not a great wish! I'm not such a great person! You say that my mother is sick, or that I'm too naΓ―ve! I just don't want to see someone suffer in front of me and I can't do anything about it, I just want to see everyone live in this world with a sincere smile, I'm just a human being who wants to see the real ideal country and is willing to pay for it!" For the sake of this trivial wish, I am willing to give whatever I am asked to give!"
I only heard the sound of "tom", which was the sound of Kotohime's knees hitting the ground, and then I heard the sound of "tom", which was the sound of Kotohime's forehead touching the ground, "Please! Please give me strength! Please give me the strength to fulfill my wishes!"
Ilona didn't know what Kotohime wanted to express, but she knew that Kotohime was her lover, so Kotohime's wish was her wish, so she hurriedly knelt down and asked Gu Shuo: "Please give Kotohime strength!"
Seeing the two girls kneeling in front of him, Gu Shuo gently patted the flower cat on his body, and the cat obediently jumped to the side to lie on his stomach. Gu Shuo stepped forward to help Qin Ji up and said, "Get up, I don't have the habit of letting others kneel for me." β
Qin Ji said firmly: "If you don't promise me, I can't afford to kneel here!"
Gu Shuo laughed and said, "Where did you come from? Are you so skinny? Are you threatening me?"
Kotohime didn't look up and said, "If you think it's a threat, then think so...... I've made up my mind!"
Seeing that Qin Ji was so determined, Gu Shuo said helplessly: "Qin Ji ...... I can understand your feelings, and I know you're right...... But because of that, I can't promise you. β
"What?" Kotohime wondered, "Why? Why not? You didn't mean ......"
"Yes, you're right, I do feel the heat in your heart. Gu Shuo's eyes were very gentle, looking at Gu Shuo's eyes, Qin Ji felt that the person in front of her was indeed her ancestor, and he was really caring for an elder who cared for her, "But it is precisely because you are right that I can't agree to accept you as my student." β
Jean Ji said anxiously, "Why can't you? Since I'm right, then why don't you want to take me as a student?"
Gu Shuo sighed and said earnestly, "Because we are not as beautiful as you think...... Zete, Sun Yuan, Rita, and Juanle...... There are other students you don't know, all of whom are selfish people who have made big mistakes...... They don't have the same consciousness as you, everything they do is for themselves, and none of them have the heart that you are willing to give selflessly for others. That's why they're my students...... Kotohime, I am proud to have someone like you among my descendants, a child like you...... I really can't imagine you're his offspring......"
Who is he? Qin Ji didn't know what Gu Shuo was talking about, but if Gu Shuo rejected him, he couldn't get the power to save the earth, and everything was over......
Gu Shuo continued, "Don't be sad, although I can't give you the strength you want, I can help you fulfill your wishes......"
Gu Shuo's words gave Qin Ji hope again, and she looked up at Zet and asked urgently, "Really?
Gu Shuo stroked Qin Ji's head and said, "Really, it's a gift from my ancestors......"
