Chapter 259: The Burning Entrustment

'Zizi, zizi...'

The necklace that fell to the ground continued to make a strange noise, waking Rachel from her memory, and the battle between the two sides took a new turn.

Zoshi, who was pinned down by Anton and had no way to borrow his strength, kept hitting Antonla's head with his elbows, which was also the only way for Zoshi to get rid of the clamp now, if he didn't get rid of the clamp before Jeton also joined the siege, then Zoshi would face absolute passivity later.

And Zoffie, who was attacked by Bemenstein, King Black, King Eyre and Pang Dun repeatedly, was also forced to resist the attacks of the four beasts by taking a defensive posture at this moment, and under the premise that he could not use the light technique as a way to contain and eliminate the four beasts, Zoffie could only maintain this situation for the time being.

But this situation can't last for a long time, as time goes by, the physical exertion of Zofie and his son will only get bigger and bigger, and the monster team that occupies the numerical advantage is still full of physical strength, if you can't solve the magnetic monster Antonla in a short time to remove the influence of the magnetic ray, I'm afraid that Zofie and his son will fall into a boundless bitter battle...

Rachel, who was awakened from the memories, watched Zofie and Zohie fall into a disadvantageous situation on both sides, even if she wanted to help, but with her strength, it was difficult to affect the two battlefields, so she could only stand in place and watch the changes in the battlefield anxiously, hoping that a so-called miracle would happen on the battlefield and bring the dawn of victory to Zofie's father and son.

'Zizi, zizi...'

At this time, the sound of the necklace ringing again attracted Rachel's attention, because this time with a light sound, a vague projection began to appear between the necklaces, and it was constantly adjusting the clarity of the projection, and finally formed a clear projection that was enough for Rachel to see the contents of the projection room, which was presented in front of Rachel's eyes.

"This is?!" The changes in the silver necklace that had accompanied her for many years made Rachel feel a little inexplicable, she had never noticed an unusual change in the necklace in the past, and the grandfather and father who gave the necklace to her did not mention the relevant details, and it was only now that Rachel accidentally triggered the hidden effect of the necklace and witnessed the hidden secrets hidden in the necklace.

Although she wondered about the strange changes in the necklace in her heart, Rachel's eyes had not left since she first saw what was shown in the projection, because almost all of the content shown in the projection was familiar to her memory...

[It's unbelievable that the cells in this strange organism really have abnormally active properties...] The background of the projection is deep underground in the Altar of Gardir, and it is the time period when the Altar of Gardir has not been defiled by the alien hunters, and the old man Rachel who speaks is very familiar, it is clearly the grandfather he has only seen before-Cassis Gardir!

[Exceptionally active?] What do you mean? Another old man asked out loud when he heard the strange thing he was busy with, and this old man Rachel also knew, it was Merk Sfinddal, one of the elders of the Tut clan in the past, according to Rachel's memory, Elder Merk and her grandfather Cassis the patriarch had never been at odds, but the content recorded in the video reversed her memory.

[The abnormal activity of the cell means that it can effectively resist the growth of diseases and effectively prolong the life of living organisms, but unfortunately it is not known how long it can remain active.] Observing the cell sample collected in his hand, Cassis had a look on his face that was both happy and regretful, as if he regretted that he could not know how long the cells in his hand could be activated.

[It's a bit of a pity, after all, we're all old...] After listening to Cassis's explanation, Merk, who had already understood the importance of the bottle of cell samples in Cassis's hand to the Tut people, walked slowly to Cassis's side, [In a few days, the Lyncas kid will succeed to the position of patriarch, right?] It's time for us to rest and rest~ The future is always left to those young people to develop on their own. ]

[It's not time yet, my old bones can hold on for a while...] Regarding Elder Merk's statement, Cassis was a little noncommittal.

[That kid Rinca is already old enough to succeed the patriarch, right?] Even your grandson, Frey, is about to reach adulthood, and you are not ready to step down from your position? Merk was a little surprised, [Old man, you must know that we are not young anymore, it's time to leave everything to the next generation to work hard...]

[You are not unaware of Rincka's temper, he is not interested in delving into these technologies at all, and he is too arbitrary to be suitable for such an important position as the patriarch.] Cassis sighed lightly, and with a somewhat helpless expression, he placed the cell sample in his hand on the table, [As for Frey's child, his temperament is exactly the same as his father's, alas...]

[Sooner or later, you'll have to give up your position to one of them, and the clan won't let someone outside of the Gardir line become the patriarch.] After listening to Cassis's helplessness, Merk did not have any good way to solve the concerns of his old friend, although the two of them often quarreled due to differences of opinion, but they were usually the best of best friends.

[Not necessarily~] At this time, Cassis's sullen expression suddenly faded, and he responded with a mysterious smile.

Cassis's relieved and mysterious smile not only made Merk feel a little strange in the projection, but even Rachel, who was watching the projection, was a little strange. They are the only few of the Tuts who have the surname Ghadir, and according to the stubborn thinking of the Tut people, it is almost impossible to make a person other than Ghadir the patriarch, and she has experienced it herself.

[If you don't pass it on to Linka and Frey, are you still planning to make Rachel the patriarch?] Merk, who really couldn't guess the thoughts of his old friend in front of him, shook his head slightly, and teased casually, but was unexpectedly affirmed by the smile on Cassis's face.

[You can't be serious, right?] Looking at Cassis who was smiling, Merk began to wonder if his old friend, who had always been known for his wisdom, was joking with him, but the serious expression overturned his suspicions, [Oh, oh my... It's such nonsense, considering that Rachel is still a kid! ]

[So I said, my old bones can hold up for a while.] The incredulous expression on the face of his old friend Merck made Cassis feel a little incredulous about his thoughts, but this was indeed his plan for now.

[Forget it, I'm too lazy to guess what you think...] Merk, who received Cassis's reply, reluctantly returned to his position, and smiled at Cassis mockingly while browsing the materials on the desktop, [Anyway, I have never won against you once in my life, and the results after the fact have proved that your opinion is always right. ]

Looking at Merk, who had started browsing the information again, Cassis knew that this old friend had a temperament, and understood that this was what he meant by showing his support with his actions, and Cassis, who was supported by his old friend, laughed, but turned his head to look into the depths of the underground temple.

Following Cassis's gaze, it can be seen that it is the same giant beast Rachel had seen in the underground temple before--Iberaton! But at that time, Iberaton didn't seem to have woken up, and his body was bound by the strange metal that held it back, and his body was covered with frost, as if he still hadn't woken up from the ice...

Rachel, who was watching the image recorded by the necklace projection, was stunned at this time, she knew about the secret chamber under the altar of Gardir, but this was not the reason for her surprise. What surprised her was that in the video just now, Grandpa Cassis actually planned to pass on the position of patriarch to him at the beginning?! You know, Rachel was just a kid at the time!

Before Rachel could continue to be surprised, the projection that had been stopped reappeared, but this time in the projection, the frozen Iberaton had already awakened, and there were also a large number of Tuts in the underground temple, ranging in age from young people to elders, and Rachel's father Linka and brother Frey were also among them.

Judging by the generally nervous expressions on their faces, it was believed that some dangerous experiment was going on.

[Are you sure you want to try it yourself?] I believe you know better than anyone the dangers of this experiment...] It was still Elder Merk, but at this moment, Elder Merk's expression was extremely solemn, and he made a final inquiry to the old man who was smiling in front of him, Cassis.

[To begin with, as you said, no one knows better than me how dangerous these cells are, and I am the only one who is qualified to make a correct assessment of them.] Cassis, who was the subject of the experiment, did not have the slightest sense on his face that the experiment itself might die at any time, but kept his usual peaceful smile and gave his own reply.

The gentle voice expressed a tenacious determination, which made the atmosphere between the men, women and children in the underground temple seem a little dull, but at this time, Merk stopped the man in charge of injecting the adjustment cells, and personally went into battle to inject Cassis with the mysterious cells that had been adjusted for a long time.

[If anything happens to me, help me take care of Rachel's baby.] Just before Merk was about to be injected, Cassis whispered to him, as if it were a parting wish...

The other people present may not have understood the meaning of this sentence, and even Rachel may not have been able to understand the emotion in Cassis's words if she had not watched the previous video dialogue.

It was asking his old friend that if he had any advantages and shortcomings after the experiment, he would ask Merk to take the lead and announce his last wish, which was to make his granddaughter, Rachel Gardir, the next Tut patriarch...

"Grandpa..."Seeing that the grandfather in the projection was still worried about himself until the last moment, Rachel finally fell to her knees and screamed sadly.

Although Rachel wants to prevent her grandfather from becoming the experimenter of that inexplicable experiment, all she sees in front of her is the recorded images of the time, and she can't prevent all this from happening again.

After all, the cells were injected into Cassis's body, but before Rachel was eager to know the result, the projection in front of her disappeared abruptly, and when it reappeared, only the old man Cassis was left.

[I don't know if you'll be able to find out what's in the necklace, but Rachel, my dear granddaughter, I want to tell you what happened, I don't know how long I can last, and while I'm still awake, I want to tell you everything I know.] Cassis who appeared in the projection maintained his usual style, and said to Rachel outside the projection with a gentle smile like a spring breeze.

[As you have just seen, we are working on a mysterious cell that, if successful, will allow us Tuts to be free from disease and further enhance our own lifespan.] Cassis, who was sitting in the projection, began to explain to Rachel what had happened on the eve of the tragedy, [and to understand the cause of all this, we have to start with the unidentified sphere that fell from the universe.] ]

[The unknown sphere that fell from the universe to our planet, the first person to discover it was your father-Linka Gardir, and then we transferred it to the sacred altar of Gardir in order to study the advanced technology in the sphere, but when we finally succeeded in opening the closed sphere with all our strength, we didn't know that what it contained was not the so-called technology, but a disaster, a disaster that was enough to destroy our planetary civilization...]

[Inside the orb, we see a giant beast frozen in ice and dormant, according to the orb's own database, it is the monster that once fought with another of its kind to destroy the planet that gave birth to it, the Alien King Iberaton.] ]

[According to the source, the Bugis, the creators who created them, were nearly wiped out by the battle between Iberaton and another of their kind, Shubilal, and eventually had to destroy them by detonating the planet.] ]

[Avoiding their sight and detonating the entire planet obviously requires a lot of planning and the right timing, but before they could finish it, Iberaton had already seen through their plans in advance.] ]

[At that time, Iberaton did not thwart their plans, and it may also want to use this opportunity to bury its old enemy, Shubilal, in the explosion of the planet, but if it wants to escape from the planet's self-explosion, it is completely impossible to do it with its strength alone, so Iberaton set his sights on the Buji, who are known for their technological civilization. ]

[Through the careful design of the captured Buji, Ibiraton was installed into a superalloy orb device that was sufficient to ensure that the planet could be sent to the universe before it exploded, so that it was able to avoid the planet's self-explosion and annihilate its old enemy, and finally landed on our planet after a long aimless cosmic drift.] ]

[Knowing the horror of Iberaton, we immediately wanted to destroy it before it woke up, but the information about Iberaton in the sphere made us hesitate...] After explaining the cause and effect of Ibiraton's appearance on the planet Latis, Cassis began to explain the truth about what happened on this planet for Rachel, [According to the data, Ibiraton's cells have the miraculous effect of anti-aging and disease, which is great news for us, because the number of compatriots who die every year due to disease or aging in our Tut clan is not a small number, as long as we have this kind of Ibraton cells that can effectively resist disease, Our compatriots were able to reduce the number of deaths from the disease, which is why we chose to take the risk of studying Ibiraton's genetic cells in order to develop a drug that could be used by our people. ]

[The results of the study did not disappoint us, Ibiraton's cells do have more power than we imagined, but this is not enough, we need to pick someone from the Tut people to experiment with the adjusted cell effect for ourselves, and I am the experimenter.] ]

[After being injected with the Ibiraton gene cells, I had a change at that time, and my body began to show signs of youthfulness, which is enough to prove that Iberaton cells can indeed be used on the Tuts!] Speaking of this, Cassis did not have the joy of the success of the experiment on his face, but continued to explain to Rachel with a sad expression, [Unfortunately, everything has advantages and disadvantages, and before the people were excited, my body underwent a strange change, and a consciousness that did not belong to me kept emerging in my mind, and my own consciousness was gradually confused by it, and sometimes even I didn't know who I was...]

[Perhaps due to Iberaton's genes, Iberaton, who had been calm since he woke up, began to become manic, and for the safety of my people, I drove them all out of the altar and sealed the underground chamber of the Altar of Gardir, intending to trap the monster that caused the disaster underground.] ]

[The technology of the Boogie Star is indeed high-end, and Iberaton in the rage still can't break free from the shackles of the orb bracket, but just when I wanted to observe its condition, I was surprised to find that it still has the ability to lay eggs!] ]

[As much as we tried to wipe out the damn parasites, a few of them escaped the altar and disappeared, so I had no choice but to seal the altar again, and then the warriors of the Gapai clan went out to search for the parasites.] Cassis's face showed deep exhaustion, [As the patriarch, I can't just let those parasites mess around, so I'm going to seal the altar completely, and I, too, will be sealed into the altar, because the confusion between consciousness makes me gradually start to become less and less like me...]

[But before I do that, I have one more thing to do, and that is to entrust you, my granddaughter, Rachel Gardir, with this necklace that is closely associated with Iberaton.] Cassis regained his composure and looked ahead with kind eyes, as if the necklace in front of him was the cute and strong little granddaughter in his heart.

[The Buji Star people who originally developed the orb device for Iberaton did not leave a trail behind, because the orb device needed to be implanted into Iberaton's body to maintain the connection between it and the sphere, so they took this opportunity to secretly install a high-energy self-detonation device in Iberaton's body, which can burst out with unprecedented explosive power in an instant, and once it self-detonates in Iberaton's body, the power generated is enough to transform Iberaton into cosmic dust!] Cassis's words made the grieving Rachel slightly stunned, but Cassis then explained, [But it is almost impossible to unknowingly arrange the self-detonation device under the watchful eye of many intelligent aliens, so they pin all their hopes on the people who are unfortunate enough to encounter Iberaton in the future, and all they can do is leave the key that records the need for the detonator to be activated, which is the necklace that is about to be entrusted to you for safekeeping. ]

[You must be curious why I chose you to be my successor instead of your father and brother, right?] After explaining what the necklace does, Cassis shifts the conversation to something else, which happens to be the reason Rachel wants to know.

[Let me tell you, father.] Before Cassis could speak, a calm voice interrupted what he was about to say, and with the voice appeared beside Cassis it was Rachel's father Linka and her brother Frey!

"Dad... Brother..."Looking at the memorable figure in the image, the father's pretended to be calm and sturdy, and the brother's slightly lazy handsome face, everything seems to have returned to the past, back to the happy time, but unfortunately what is in front of you is just a burned image...

[I already knew what your grandfather was planning in his heart, and I proposed it at the beginning, after all, my character is not suitable to be the patriarch of the Tut clan at all, of course, this kid is the same!] As soon as Rachel's father Linka spoke, his originally serious expression suddenly couldn't keep revealing his true nature, his bold personality could not have been a serious person, but Linca laughed at the end and pulled Frey, who was standing beside him with an embarrassed expression, and then didn't care about the latter's protest, and reached out to completely mess up Frey's neatly groomed hairstyle.

[It's a shame, dad~ In front of little Rachel, I can leave me some majesty as a brother...] Frey, who was constantly trying to get rid of his father Linca's big hands, complained, but unfortunately it had little effect on Linca.

[You stinky boy who loves his sister still want to have majesty, I don't know who was lying on the ground to ride a big horse for my sister a while ago~] seems to be tired of playing, Linka withdrew the big hand that was raging on Frey's head, and gently pushed Frey away while not forgetting to make a joke, which made Frey angry for a while.

"Hehe... Stupid brother..."This familiar scene in front of her made Rachel feel very familiar, but unfortunately this scene can only exist in her memory now.

[As a father, I can't shoulder the heavy responsibility of the patriarch and pass it on to you, this is my dereliction of duty, but if it is Rachel, it must be no problem, because Rachel is very strong, even without us by your side, you will definitely be able to become the strongest Gadir!] Gadir who can lead his people on the right path! Stopping the fight with his son Frey, Rinca said to Rachel in front of him, his expression full of confidence in Rachel's strength.

"I'm not that strong... There really isn't..."

[Rachel, you love all life on this planet, so you are more suitable than me to be the patriarch, and in the future you will definitely be stronger than I imagined, to be your father is the pride of my life. As if he could hear Rachel's answer from the future through the necklace in front of him, Linka said confidently, and then smiled and reached out again to pull the silent Frey, [Say what you want to say, don't pretend to stand there~]

[Ahem, this... It's weird to talk to yourself about this chain...] Frey, who was broken by Linca's words, walked to the front of the necklace with an embarrassed expression, and said after brewing his emotions, [Uh, that, Rachel, I didn't know if I was still with you when you saw this video, but what I want to say is that I'm afraid I can't fly in the sky with you, I promised you to take you with me when you grow up, I, broke my promise...]

[But I have a word in my heart that I've always wanted to say to you... In fact, a long time ago, you could already soar on your own...]

"I can't, I can't..."

[You're not the little girl who will only follow me anymore, it's just that the stubbornness of my brother in my heart didn't admit it...] With a little embarrassment, Frey said the words that had been buried in his heart for a long time into the necklace in front of him, [So, soar in the sky to your heart's content, with your own wings!] This time, I'll be standing behind you to cheer you on, my sister...]

"Brother..."

[Hehe~ I'm running out of time, so this record can only end here, but I want to say a word to you at the end.] After Linka and Frey recorded what they wanted to say in their necklaces, Cassis walked between Linca and Frey and said to Rachel, [No matter what choice you will make when you know the truth of the matter, you are the proudest granddaughter of my Cassis Gardir, and this will never change, goodbye, my precious granddaughter...]

"Nope! No!! Hearing her grandfather's last words of farewell, Rachel, who was immersed in her memories, immediately wanted to stop them from leaving, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop the projection from disappearing, but for a moment, the projection had dissipated with all Rachel's good memories, leaving only the silver necklace still lying quietly on the ground...

"Grandpa... Father... Brother... Please, don't go... Don't go..."Rachel, who was powerless to stop all this, fell to her knees on the ground, the smiles of her grandfather, father and brother seemed to be close in front of her, but they would never be touchable, and the departure of the three closest relatives brought Rachel too much blow, especially after knowing the truth of the matter...

'Zizi, zizi...'

As Rachel fell to her knees in grief, trying to suppress the tears that were about to fall from her eyes, the silver necklace lying on the ground changed again, only this time it was not her family, but the creature she had witnessed once, the Alien King Ibiraton.

A complete stereoscopic image of Iberaton was projected between the silver necklaces, and the slowly rotating projection completed every detail of Iberaton, and then a small silver key appeared, gradually inserted somewhere on Iberaton's back, and then Iberaton shone with a burst of light, and then disappeared in the light of self-detonation...

The video repeated back and forth three times before it stopped, but it was enough for Rachel to see every detail, and the most crucial silver key in the image was naturally the silver necklace lying on the ground now!

Silently staring at the silver necklace on the ground, the sorrow in Rachel's eyes was gradually replaced by perseverance, and she resolutely reached out to pick up the necklace that had fallen to the ground, and then turned her gaze to her left, which was the direction of the Gardir altar...

"Since this is a disaster caused by Gardir, then it should be up to Gardir to end it..."Eyes swept over the battlefield again, grasping the key to the survival of this planet and the victory of Zofie's father and son, Rachel resolutely headed towards the place she least wanted to face - the altar of Gardir, as she said, it was all up to Gardir to end.

Because she's Rachel, Rachel Gardir, the last patriarch of the Tut clan!
