Settings and character stories have been cleared
Long time no see, readers.
After a serious illness, I finally cleaned my body. So the resurrection, during the resurrection, a game was made in the group, and the winning few picked a gift, which was a chapter at the end of the book's perfect ending [Perfec-End], which gave them three choices:
1. "The Stars Disperse in the Sky", the previous chapter of the final chapter of the book
2. The-Eternal-Epitaph, the final chapter of the book
3. The first chapter of the postscript
As a result, the group chose "The Stars Dissipated in the Sky", so temporarily update this chapter, as a gift for the return, update today (above), update on the weekend (below), keep it until next week and then delete it.
I hope you all enjoyed watching it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By the time the great tide of thought swept through everything, the universe had already fallen silent.
In the vacuum, the quietly rotating metallic walls covered the sky in front of them. With a relative distance of less than ten kilometers between the two, the Empire's astral fortress no longer looks like a man-made structure. The slightly pale blue fortress flashed with countless warning lights that could not be seen from afar, and the asteroid that kept rotating forever - the "world" containing hundreds of millions of individuals, literally pressed its sense of existence on the same level as the planet on the people who watched it.
Rajev. Hatton swallowed the blood from the impact just now, and looked at the planet fortress, he stared at the towering steel carapace, the mountain-like tectonic layer, this building with the power of "Creation", is now falling silent with the entire universe, the starport located on the surface is in a state of blockade, although all kinds of warning lights flicker periodically, it still can't erase the whole strange feeling--- as if staring at a volcanic crater, like an extinct volcano, But he sensed that there was a fiery danger down there.
The last time I relied on the trap of the Empire to get in, but this time it didn't work. If there is a [nuclear] in it, it will certainly not fail to deploy some kind of defense against the invaders. Thinking of this, Rajeev's gaze shifted to Benjamin--- the old jet seat that was gradually approaching the starport. Icarus and the rest of the remaining combatants are meeting with the Infinite Light in the last means of transportation. The shadow, which was only a little bit compared to the Star Fortress, was quietly staying in the corner of the screen. The infinite light meched stubbornly stood in front of the entrance to the starport, looking at the huge gate of the starport, and to a person like Rajev looked like an ancient knight facing the entrance of a heavy fortress.
After the trial of blood and fire, I finally brought back the answer...
"The heir to the throne has returned...
The voice that blurted out unconsciously surprised Rajev at himself.
As he spoke, Rajev's endured pupils looked at Star Harbor--- if he didn't act, if he insisted on the defensive now, all the sacrifices so far would be in vain. Now it's our turn to move forward. Rajev murmured inwardly as he looked at the back of the machine piloted by a man who had sacrificed more than anyone else, and then shifted his gaze to the gate that was gradually entering the fortress:
A spirit that shook like the light of a bonfire guided the scarred armor through the fortress's gates.
The phrase "The Hour of Judgment is Coming" suddenly crossed his mind, causing Rajev to get goosebumps all over his body.
The feather-like stacks of armor that formed the circular harbor gate slowly closed as they did when they were opened, finally keeping Arlando's figure out of sight.
Cough! Rajev coughed up a mouthful of blood, waited for the cleaning device inside the mask to clean the blood, and then glanced at the fortress gate before slowly closing his eyes in pain.
"Rajev !!" Camini, who had just swept her gaze over here, propped herself up with her only remaining arm and floated over the gravity-free bridge, "Medic, Medic!! Taken to the medical office!! ”
[The block of the infirmary has been shot in the previous battle... This thought flowed through the hearts of the people who were barely keeping the work on the bridge running.
"You can't sleep!! You can't sleep right now!! Wake me up!! It's been ten years, you can't sleep for me now, you have to take me to the grave in New Hong Kong, and explain our affairs to Liya!! ”
Camini. Hadilan's heart-rending shouts echoed through the communication loop in a dead silence.
Listen to the screams and screams, and pass through the walls that even the battleships can easily pass through. Arlando's first impression of the space --- a large, charred hollow. Most of the lighting could not be turned on, unable to illuminate the whole of Starport, and the scorched pathway, as well as the mechanical arm that had collapsed and floated in the air, all deeply left traces of the battle he brought with him the last time he came.
The only thing that is the hole in the airtight partition wall is a new material, and that is just a measure to keep the air leaking. Arlando remembered that it was the mark of Raffle driving the The-End. In the face of the pursuing soulless army, Raffle launched the Doomsday System while throwing out the most powerful artillery bombardment, and the hole was punched in that instant---
[Lao Tzu is desperate for you, do I still need to tell you the reason clearly, get out!! Lovell. Garros' roar rang out in the dark space.
Now, is the body of this comrade-in-arms still somewhere in this darkness? The vivid memory suddenly filled his heart, causing Arrando's hand to freeze suddenly, tears welling up but the other palm stretched out from the side was stacked on his palm, and the body temperature came through the gloves and his already inhuman skin, as if absorbing his excess stiffness.
Reilia leaned out of the makeshift passenger seat next to her and nodded her head at Arlando. Looking at her wordless "I'm here" in her eyes, Arlando nodded in response, and suppressed the feelings that were about to overwhelm her, and looked ahead. As the gate at the rear closed, the huge airtight gate on the front wall had begun to slide.
"The jet seat is here on standby." After Benjamin gave the order, the people in the jet seat flew away from the jet with their comrades who couldn't even share the armor.
"I'm sorry, father," said a small, motionless figure in the jet seat through the communication link, "I think... Stay here for now. ”
"You stay here, Susui," Arlando looked at his adopted daughter standing on the edge of the jet seat with her magnetic boots, zooming in through the viewfinder, "to accompany Raffle." ”
With these words, Arlando piloted the group and the special agent type of individual power armor with their own full-fire form through the airtight partition wall and entered the next block. With the inductive wave search radar and man-facing weapon open on his right shoulder, Benjamin's armor was piloted, and the K59's armor followed with a bazooka filled with jamming bombs. Surrounded by armor a little taller than a person, it didn't take long for the infinite light to pass through the doorway, and the airtight gates, which could be counted in kilometers in length and width, began to close. The four closed walls obscured the path behind it, and the sound of whistling air crashed on the mech. Pushed by the air currents blowing in from all directions, Arlando descended with the armor that surrounded him to the left and right.
In front of it is a material distribution block that is filled with air at any time. The entire space appears darker, and is made up of countless overlapping machines and criss-crossing structures to form a forest of steel. Most of these objects had been violently torn apart from the last exit battle, charred shards floating in gravity, and of course, none of the equipment was functioning. Not to mention the repair work, there is not even a sign of recent human activity here. In the bottomless darkness, all that could be seen around was piles of cold wreckage, piled up at the North Pole of the Imperial Fortress as if time had stopped.
At the dim end of this patch, the "nucleus" will be seen. Suppressing the heat in his chest that was not fear, not joy, not like excitement, Arlando just looked at this almost ruined uninhabited factory area. At this time, the power armor with the number 001 written on its shoulder took a step.
"If the road ahead is correct, it seems to say that it is not the royal blood that is not allowed to pass." Benjamin. Icarus' voice rang out.
"It was broken last time, let's go."
Manipulating the mech to push through the ruins, several people began to go deeper.
"The throne of the empire is actually at the North Pole, no matter how you think about it... K59 muttered as he watched on guard.
"It's not just because of the blind spot of darkness under the lamp, but also because of the meaning of [the emperor guards the country], after all, under the throne is the most important [core], and there are some organs that are not easy to detect." Arlando responds to the K59 as he moves forward.
"Got it, Captain."
"Captain...
"Let me call it that...
Arlando did not continue to ask K59 about his words. Several men continued on their way until they came to a halt in front of a mobile suit-sized feathered gate.
"Soul Gate, we stay here to be vigilant, there should be no problem ahead." Benjamin. The power armor that Icarus was manipulating came to a halt after circling around the gate.
"Whatever happens, call me." Arlando was about to open the door.
"Wait," Benjamin's voice called out to Arlando, who sounded a little fluttery at any given moment, "Damn, although this kind of atmosphere of teammate A who wants to say another word before the Armageddon makes the brave go forward before the big battle is unpleasant, but I seem to understand those guys, some of them really can't be said without asking." ”
Arlando let the infinite light stop, the big metal hand gently pulled the power armor, pulled to the position of the cab, Arlando drilled out of the cab, looked at Benjamin and K59 who also drilled out of the power armor, and waited until Benjamin spoke:
"Damn, this question is really stupid, it feels like a lifetime of shame to ask it, and it will be complained about by the dead house."
[Why am I complaining about you? What is Tucao? A question from a female voice suddenly came from Benjamin's power armor.
"You don't even remember complaining, the ontology that has lost the meaning of existence is not there, and you can only sound through the microphone, the dead AI is dead for me!"
"Still can't think of anything?" Arlando sighed as he looked at Benjamin, who was yelling at his power armor.
"I want to... Is it? It makes people feel so good to say that... ”
"Miss Ruth wouldn't have survived if she hadn't given up her life, wouldn't she, wouldn't it be appropriate for an individual to do so by [remembering] instead of [recovering]?"
"yes," Benjamin tapped on the exterior of the power armor before turning his head towards Arlando again, "Well, then it's a shame, it's a shame--- at this point, what is it that you and I still have 59?" Friend or subordinate? ”
"Friends."
"I'm afraid you'll say that, because then I'll have to ask you why you say that...
"I know what you think, we all remember, we fought each other, but ah," Arlando looked at Benjamin and K59, "you really aren't subordinates, because you never have to rely on my dreams and my motivation to move forward, and my friends will never rely on other people's dreams!! It's normal for a fight to happen because of this, right? ”
“。。。。。。。。。。 It's great that you can think like that," Benjamin and K59 looked at each other, then gave himself a military salute to Arlando, "Then we won't stop you from anything, go ahead." ”
After re-entering the fuselage and advancing to the other side of the next door, Arlando muttered in a whisper as he walked forward in silence again after the door closed: "Emperor of the Empire, administrator of the nuclear, betrayer, Guo Yutong... This always felt that the name that had no connection with him, and the voice of William's allegation that "even his own son can be killed, your father", each fact was unacceptable, and only broken words danced in Arlando's heart.
"Underneath the secret lies a secret. The man who was saved by his wife and tied himself to the execution rack to this day... ”
Reiria, who was sitting beside her, whispered in a voice of awe and sympathy. The family affection that had once been abandoned came back to her throat, and Arlando interrupted her with a stiff voice saying "It's okay with that".
"A lot ... Too many people have lost their choice because of him ... The wrong plan must not be carried out ... Otherwise the world would ... ”
The heat that pressed on his heart burned his internal organs, making Arlando breathless in pain. Reelia tried to say something behind her back, but closed her mouth hesitantly.
At this moment, a dazzling light covered the panoramic screen for a moment, and then the vast artificial sky and earth in the gravitational area expanded in front of the eyes of the infinite light:
The ceiling is more than a kilometer high, with blue sky and clouds projected, and the city area has a great arc when viewed from above. All this is dazzling for the eyes that have just passed through the vacuum battlefield, and the vivid colors and light are enough to make people melt in a nervous breath. But Arlando suddenly stiffened--- the city, the beehive-like buildings, the sand where the children played...
"Arlando, here it is..."
"Hmmm... My hometown... ”
Arlando swallowed some words that almost blurted out and began to let the Infinite Light fall. A brief eruption of the thruster slows the body and lowers the altitude in a parabolic track. As the infinite light landed on the ground in a kneeling position facing the sand where the children were playing, the fuselage was also captured by gravity, leaving the feet to sink into the ground, and the jet of thrusters swept through the entire empty city.
The trees swayed, and the windows of the houses vibrate, but not enough to shake the towering buildings. The curtains of the windows were all drawn, and there was still no smell of any inhabitation, and no one would come out to greet them, Arlando looked at the place where the children played:
[Found it?] 】
The strong wind turned into a "sound" and turned into light that penetrated the forehead. A gentle voice that makes people feel like they've heard it before. Who is it? The moment Arlando cried out in his heart, the image of the panoramic screen disappeared and the world was plunged into darkness. Arlando unconsciously grabbed Reiria's hand, and then saw a scroll unfold before his eyes.
A man holding a child, a woman smiling softly beside him, can hear the wind, can see people's faces, can touch the beard that his hands, can smell the smell of sweat, and there will be the salty smell of sweat in his mouth because of kissing his cheeks, but there is also something that transcends the five senses...
The possibilities are endless, the options ...
Calling for his [found?] The sound of the voice once again pierced through the body, turning into light and bursting open.
"How can you still show me this kind of thing now?!" With a roar, Arlando left Reelia behind and jumped out of the cockpit first, her artificially constructed body falling heavily on the sand, kicking up dust that obscured her vision.
"I've been waiting for a long time." Such a response is issued on the other side of the dust.
"You。。。。。。。。 Arlando's body stiffened, "How could you be... ”
"I am people's sorrow, and sorrow never goes away, it only changes form, my child."
