"Phase folding"? , "imaginary space"? Because in an instant, I heard a large number of beings that were not conceptually incomprehensible......

Truth be told, Lemuel's brain didn't have time to absorb them.

"What do you mean?!"

However, there is no time left to explain at this moment! Now it is imperative to get this ship as soon as possible—

Noah's Ark, equipped with the "anti-gravity system NAKA", has taken off quickly!

"I'll explain it in detail later if it's safe, but I'll help now!"

"I see! What to do?! ”

Lemuel felt the gravity of the matter in the blink of an eye, for it was the first time he had seen Riveria's expression so frightened......

However, he didn't know what he could do at this moment!

"If you want to activate this guy, your Face ID data is necessary, so can you complete the authentication as soon as possible?"

As soon as the words fell, Riveria resisted the anxiety in her heart and guided him step by step to complete the certification.

Until a trickle-like message appears in the center of the interface that says "Ingestion complete".

So far, one of the two necessary conditions has been successfully met!

And then it seemed that only Riveria's orders remained-

In a few moments, she summoned an emerald cube button from the left side of the main console, and slowly embedded her left hand into it......

Until it fits perfectly!

"Professor, what is this?"

Stella looked very curious, and even in this situation where every second counted, she couldn't bear it.

"It's just fingerprint authentication, don't make such a fuss-"

After that, the entire cube slowly changed from the original blue to a red like blood, which means that the certification is finally completed!

“Maste

, first meeting—"

"This kind of polite words are avoided, and there is no time to greet them now! Can it fly? ”

"Of course—"

As a result, after a while, with a certain light and fluttering feeling, Noah's Ark really slowly moved away from the canyon, and then rose rapidly in a straight trajectory!

"Well done!"

Riveria couldn't help but blurt out. The streamlined human face simulated on the screen also smiled as if relieved......

However, this stunned everyone but her, and even Lemuel was very surprised—

Little did he know that he had agreed to such an unbelievable plan......

And, once again, he understood how "terrifying" Rivelia's strength really was.

"No wonder you have such expressions, because I've never revealed anything before-"

"You're hiding it from me, it's too much, isn't it?"

At this moment, Lemuel made no secret of his dissatisfaction as if he had knocked over a jar of vinegar.

"Isn't that a matter of course? Your honest character who doesn't know how to lie is easy to be tricked by others......"

As she spoke, Riveria had a regretful expression on her face—

"Hello?! Is my trust in your heart paper-mâché? ”

"That's pretty much it, right?"

She couldn't help but spread her hands and shrug her shoulders, and said what was in her heart without hesitation.

Immediately, Lemuel could only let out a very unwilling grinding sound - at the same time, although Ozman was successfully subdued and killed by Vane, his remnants did not give up......

It seems that they are planning to fight until the last moment, even if the jade is burned!

The goal, of course, is actual control of this "Noah's Ark".

No one knows why they did it, but if it is, it has to be stopped!

No matter what the cost!

At this moment, on the deck not far from the main control room, a dizzying battle is unfolding as if it were dizzying-

Everywhere there was broken glass that was scattered one after another because of the shock......

There are also tableware that has been ravaged to the point of almost being torn apart.

That's right, it was originally intended to be a restaurant – but now it's devastated!

There was a cruelty and horror depicted by blood everywhere, and there was a fire not far away!

The raging flames spread rapidly at a frightening speed—

"Senior! Get out of here...... ”

However, now Levi and Allen, Vane, and Loki are all surrounded by the "shadows", and there is no way to get out!

What's even more terrifying is that it is obvious that these people are fighting with the consciousness of "even if they die together"!

So I don't care about the impending death at all!

Such an enemy is, without a doubt, the most terrible; The trickiest –

And facing such an enemy is basically equivalent to falling into the abyss-like despair......

Without the same level of awareness, it is impossible to find even the slightest chance of victory!

But at this time, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and even if the fire extinguishing system is used, it has no effect at all-

"Senior! Predecessor?! ”

I was so anxious that I wanted to rush in to help several times.

As a student of Levi, she can't accept the possible imminent results no matter what!

But even if she tried to rush in again and again, she was invariably driven back by the too fierce fire!

It's like an impregnable wall!

Everyone else was trying their best to pull her who wanted to rush in—

"Yui! Don't be silly?! Do you want to die so much? ”

Mitchell said and slapped her mercilessly...... He could only force her to calm down in this way.

"But, but!"

However, unexpectedly, the moment the words just fell, Mitchell himself rushed in without hesitation! In an instant, everyone was stunned-

"Why ......?!"

Now, the only exit has been completely sealed off by the wall of fire, that is......

If he wants to come out again, it is almost impossible!

However, the originally inextricable battle situation suddenly changed significantly because of the addition of Mitchell-

The advantage gradually became in Ellen's favor, and they -

Eventually, until the moment when both sides were almost exhausted...... Weapons don't matter anymore.

That's right, the entanglement that originally seemed to be a sword and sword shadow has unconsciously turned into a complete hand-to-hand combat!

However, even so, the other party's stubborn resistance still exceeded the original expectation-

"Huh!?"

And for Vane and others, the time that the body's ability can "rely on" is also limited, if they can't solve the other party before the limit arrives-

Then it will inevitably become their corpse!

"Really! I'm really impressed by the level of foolishness! ”

At this moment, she couldn't help but sigh.

"However, even if it costs anything, I won't let you miscellaneous fish go to my brother!"

Vane, who was secretly determined, once again forced his body, which had already been exhausted, to cheer up again-

By the way, this is the same for everyone else!

Because the current Noah's Ark is undoubtedly the only hope left for everyone! It is an existence worthy of not hesitating to protect with life!

"I won't let you succeed!"

At the same time, in the room of the main console...... Lemuel and Riveria were also very worried—

Especially Lemuel, how could his sister not be in a hurry when he was in such a situation where he was embattled?

However, at this moment, the two of them could not leave the control room!

"It's going to be fine, after all, that girl's strength doesn't just stop at lip service!"

Riveria stared intently at the screen, monitoring all sorts of data changes...... While speaking out to comfort Lemuel, who seemed to be unable to calm down.

"She's not the little ghost who only spoils you. It's because you're such an important presence to her—"

"The only brother; The only family member, that's why she's still working hard until now......"

"So, trust her. That guy will be fine! ”

I have to say that Riveria's words were like a reassuring pill, which instantly calmed him down a lot.

"Sorry, thank you!"

"Nothing, have you calmed down?"

"Hmm."

At the moment when they were communicating, the sky suddenly distorted visibly -

"Riveria, look at that!"

In an instant, Riveria was also stunned, and the distortion looked like a bottomless hourglass, which made people's hairs stand on end!

However, the most important thing is not this vortex formed by strange distortions everywhere......

What's even more terrifying is that from the whirlpool that seems to be infinitely extended, "something" that slowly reveals its face-

“！”

Obviously, that kind of existence has easily shredded the cognitive common sense that the two of them have built up so far!

"Imaginary space?! Could it be that this is also the effect of 'phase folding'?! ”

If he had to say it, the guy only showed his head at this moment. It doesn't seem to be anything to be afraid of, but the head alone is enough to describe it as a "behemoth"!

One can imagine how far it will go!

"What exactly are the 'phase folds' and 'imaginary spaces' that you have been talking about since the beginning? What the hell is that!? Is it also a 'beast'? ”

"I don't know, but ......"

Riveria knew better than anyone that the time had come to explain—

"The so-called phase fold is, in short, an anomalous deformation of space......"

At this time, at the same time, due to the continuous operation of the fire extinguishing system, the fire was finally under control.

Vane and the others also took this opportunity to turn the tide in one fell swoop and annihilate all the remnants of Ozman's party!

"Let's go to the control room!"

"Hmm!"

Immediately after, everyone gathered in the control room......

"Abnormal deformation of space? In other words, can it create another space in the original space? ”

It was a bit of a surprise, but she was relieved that Lemuel understood so quickly...... There was even a sense of relief.

It's an exaggeration, but it's true.

"Basically your understanding is correct. Hmm, no problem, huh? ”

As she spoke, she smiled rarely. - Although the current situation at this moment is really not laughable......

But there's a saying that says, right?

"When you're desperate, when you're helpless, do your best to be strong—"

That's right, Riveria is rightfully strong at this moment......

"So, what about the so-called 'imaginary space'? What's that? ”

As soon as Lemuel finished speaking, it seemed as if a series of question marks had popped up with everyone—after all, this was undoubtedly the first time he had heard the concept......

"It's simpler than it looks, right?"

As she said this, she casually took out a coin from her pocket—

"Lemuel, how many faces can you see of this coin in my hand now?"

Although Lemuel felt more and more confused, he still answered Riveria's question truthfully -

"One?"

Then, she nodded, and in the blink of an eye, she tossed the coin she had held in her hand into the air......

However, it did not leave the public eye.

And then take it in your hand -

"And now? How many faces can you see? ”

To be honest, Riveria's question seems a bit of a joke. However, her expression was very serious. It's not like he's playing tricks on people at all......

"There's still just one, right? Professor, what exactly are you trying to say? ”

After a while, Stella was in a hurry.

"If we compare the world to this coin, we see this side of the world we live in right now—"

"In what we usually call reality, everything is real, right?"

Stella thought for a moment and nodded. Although she didn't fully understand.

"And what we usually call the real world can also be expressed in another way......"

As soon as the words fell, Vane continued-

"Since there is a so-called 'imaginary space', can it be said that ...... The world we live in now can also be called 'real space'? ”

After she explained this, everyone seemed to be a little stunned......

"That's it! Therefore, the so-called 'imaginary space' is actually the other side of the real world. Like one side of this coin—"

"In other words, if we don't intervene by some means, then it can't actually be observed?"

Allen, as he understood it, asked a supplementary question.

"That's right, and what we see now is the erosion of the imaginary space on the real space......"

All of a sudden, everyone felt as if they had been drunk—

"Sister Riveria, is there such a creature in the imaginary space?!"

Vane asked impatiently.

Riveria nodded, fully acknowledging her question.

"If there is an ecosystem in the real world we live in, that is, in the real space, then there is also an ecosystem in the imaginary space—"

But even if such an additional note is accepted by everyone, everyone will understand......

We must not allow such an existence to escape into this world!

"Is there a way to stop it? Professor, is there a way to stop that?! ”

At this time, even Loki couldn't bear it-

"Nope."

However, Riveria gave a fairly positive answer this time, and for a moment everyone thought she was joking......

Because, even if you understand it theoretically, you can't accept it emotionally!

"What did you say?!"

Faced with the shocked expressions of Vane and Lemuel, she once again made a supplementary explanation-

"As I said earlier, as the other side of the real world that cannot be observed, any means of attack and weapons in the real world cannot be effective."

“......！”

Suddenly, there was a death-like silence in the room. Not to mention, they weren't the only ones on Noah's Ark at this moment—

"Are we going to die? Are Mom and Rulia both going to die......? ”

In the evening, such words can always be heard from time to time.

"No, my sister and the brothers present will do their best to protect you!"

In order to stabilize the children's emotions, Vane can only say this. Take Lemuel with you......

"Really?"

"Well, it's true—"

Immediately afterward, Lemuel went directly to Rivelia to discuss countermeasures.

And at this time, it was only three hours after everyone was transferred to Noah's Ark......

"Brother, are you okay?"

In fact, until three hours ago, Lemuel had locked himself in his room. Refuse to see anyone –

Even if he knew better than anyone else that there was no point in doing so.

So he decided...... Even if you don't have a chance of winning, you have to try to struggle with all your might! After all, if the same result is ushered in anyway-

Then you might as well try to resist to the end!

So maybe there will be an unexpected "miracle" happening?

"It's okay, let's go!"

In a few moments, Riveria's room was overcrowded—

That being said, it's not crowded. Because the rooms here are designed to be big enough and spacious enough at the same time.

"First of all, I did say that no means of attack or weapon can attack the imaginary space, but that doesn't mean I'll give up-"

In an instant, her few words made everyone see hope again!

"In these three hours, I have developed the ability to adapt our current body to the imaginary space environment!"

In an instant, everyone was boiling!

The most excited of them all was undoubtedly Lemuel - I saw him fly over with excitement......

"Whoaaa

However, it was instinctively dodged by Riveria!

"Why do you want to dodge?!"

As a result, Lemuel simply fell into the mud......

"Isn't that obvious! Don't rush over suddenly?! ”

As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel a headache.

"What the hell are you doing...... Brother? ”

Even Vane couldn't help but feel a little contempt when he looked at him like that......

In short, this is set aside, and then the data transfer is extremely fast.

And this time, Riveria also prepared Olivia and Hatfield's share-

"Thank you!"

The two of them hurriedly expressed their gratitude, but Riveria couldn't help but laugh......

"It's obvious that you asked me so much, so don't care about these details. And I hope you can be a real help. ”

"So, don't be so hard."

"Yes! Got it......"

At this moment, the tension between the two of them finally faded a lot. For the upcoming battle, this is undoubtedly beneficial.

However, not everyone thinks so......
