As a strategic-level existence, even Hades cannot be used at will, so unless it is a critical moment, Hades will not really use various strategic-level existences at will. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info But this does not mean that the various strategic levels that Hades has will be very small. However, in comparison, there are many facilities with various uses.

For example, the Tower of Babel (the Tower of Babel in Babylonian legend) used to record all civilizations, the Valhalla (Valhalla in Norse mythology) used to record all warriors, the "Endymion" (the shepherd who sleeps forever in sweet dreams in Greek mythology) used for various dangerous experiments, the "Yggdrasil" (the world tree in Norse mythology) used to manage all facilities and dimensions, the "Sea of Dirac" (the sea of energy built on complex mathematical models) used for backup energy storage, The "Maxwell Elf" (hypothetical theory of thermodynamics), which is responsible for the distribution of all energy, the "Demon of Laplace" (the Demon of Laplace, which observes all the particles and can completely predict the future), and the "Ring of Mobius" (infinite), which is responsible for the regeneration of all energy sources......

Not only do each of these strategic-level facilities work far more efficiently than the others in normal times, but they can also use various ultimates at critical moments, such as the rapid regeneration of the "Endymion" after it was destroyed, the "Sea of Dirac" exerts all its strength to destroy the world, and the "Ring of Morbius" has an unlimited energy supply for a short period of time......

However, at the same cost, each of these facilities requires considerable cost and space to build. In the case of "Euctrasil", you must first have more than eight different dimensions that are completely in your hands, and the size of each one is almost equal to the size of hundreds of planes combined, in order to build the prototype of this strategic-level facility. The computing power required by the "Demon of Laplace" is even more exaggerated, at least ten or more computers are needed, and a single machine can be built to complete a data plane as the core, and the array formed can be called its prototype......

The design and construction plans of these strategic facilities have not been kept secret in the Hades, or in other words, there are basically no confidential matters in the Hades, as long as they are official members, they can check whatever they want.

However, because the resources required for these strategic-level facilities are too exaggerated, and the construction time is extremely terrifying, except for the base camp of Hades: the Eternal Garden, which has built the most complete and numerous strategic facilities, the other legions that are based on one world have only completed the construction of a few strategic-level facilities, and the others are still in the embryonic stage.

That's right, there are still a lot of strategic-level facilities under construction, including the Eternal Garden, or still only in the design drafts, such as the "Steel Firmament" used in the first two volumes of Snow Wind.

For these extremely terrifying existences, as newcomers, Xuefeng and the others, who haven't even built their own main base, basically don't have to think about anything. However, this does not mean that Xue Feng and the others can only drool over these facilities.

After all, all the strategic-level facilities are added step by step, and compared with the requirements of the future, the conditions required for the embryonic stage of these facilities are quite satisfactory. As long as you don't look at those really perverted ~ facilities......

Therefore, even now, Xuefeng and others can start to build some strategic facilities, that is, the "Tower of Babel" and "Valhalla" in the mouths of Xuefeng and Chrissy. These are the two of the lowest conditions of all strategic facilities, and it can even be said that these are the two facilities that should have been on the agenda at the beginning of the establishment of the corps.

Civilization is brilliant and fragile, and we can't help them get through it, and we may even destroy them with our own hands, so all we can do is record their existence and tell future generations that such a civilization once existed. -- The Tower of Babel

Our pace will never stop unless it is death, so we can only remember our departed companions, and then move forward without pause, but in the process, all the victories we have achieved have no glory to speak of, because: all glory to the departed! -- Valhalla

After finishing the short correspondence with Chrissy, Yukikaze stretched out his hand and said to Kiriko in silence, "The soul seed of luck, you still have it with you, give it to me." ”

"Well, it's on your body. Can I help you? Kiriko nodded blankly, and then from his chest ~ between the parts (although it is not big, but there is still it!) He took out a brilliant purple gem tightly wrapped in a small net.

This gorgeous gemstone is the soul seed that has been filled with the soul of Yuki, after filling the soul, the soul seed no longer has a special charm that attracts the soul, but after filling it shows a more charming brilliance than before. More precisely, the sparkle of the soul itself.

And this soul seed, after Kiriko got it from Xuefeng, has been on her body and has not forgotten it all the time. In other words, to this day, Kiriko still has not been freed from the sins she committed back then.

As for the identity of Yuki, it's the girl who met in SAO when Kiriko was still Kirito, and then died with a relieved smile because of Kiriko's immaturity at that time.

Just when Xuefeng took over the soul seed, Kiriko suddenly came to her senses and asked, "Could it be that Xuefeng ...... you?"

"Although it is not the soul of the original, if this last princess can be resurrected in another way, it can be regarded as the last sacrifice to the civilization of Lalaya." Xue Feng sighed and said, "Moreover, for some reason, this soulless body, which no longer has the slightest original soul breath, is also quite suitable for carrying souls as a body for resurrection. ”

As he spoke, Xue Feng unfolded a magic array infused with souls, as well as a magic array that provided various auxiliary functions during the resurrection process, such as body detection and repair. However, just after Xue Feng completed the unfolding of the magic array, he did not immediately inject the soul of Yuki into this body, but paused, seemed to talk to himself, and said as if asking someone: "The price of this last princess has been paid by the Lalaya civilization (civilization itself), then, the price that needs to be paid for the resurrection of Yuki is ......"

I don't know if it's because of the reflection of light, or because of Xue Feng's movements, along with Xue Feng's words, the soul seed that was held in Xue Feng's hand seemed to flicker faintly a few times.

"I understand." Not because the resurrection opportunity was imminent, but because ecstasy and other emotions interfered with her judgment, Kiriko nodded calmly and said, "I am willing to pay for this, but because of my duty at this time, I can't accept the price of my own death." ”

Kiriko was still able to stay calm, and even refused to exchange for the equivalent at the cost of her own death at this time, not because she no longer felt guilty about it, but because she became more mature than then. After all, before that, if Kiriko was really willing to pay the price, Yukikaze would have already helped Yuki and the others to resurrect. And it's not that I don't want to die, but I can't die at this time. As the lord of Kawagoe City and the last guardian of everyone, Kiriko's own life is no longer purely her own.

What is Maturity? When you understand that you have to live no matter what, because your life is no longer just for you!

"Woo, because the price of the body part has already been paid, so really, it doesn't need Kiriko to pay the price of your life." Xue Feng said with a hint of apology, "However, the price of resurrection has already been paid." ”

The next moment, a new magic array also unfolded on the soul seed, and in the dissipating light, the shape in front of him emerged from the soul seed, but the ethereal and transparent figure had already explained everything. With a look of serenity and relief, the soul of the fortunate gradually sank into the body of the last Lalaya man who was sleeping in the coffin with an expressionless face under the effect of the magic array.

"Someone paid? Who is it? Kiriko looked at all this blankly and couldn't help asking.

"I think that's probably the best option for you. Moreover, the other party's price pays priority, above you. Xue Feng, who has already helped others resurrect a few times, still has the strength to reply.

"The best, the choice? Paying the price, priority? Kiriko listened to Xue Feng's answer suspiciously, and as she recalled Xue Feng's explanation of some terms, in a flash of inspiration, she came to her senses, "The only one who can pay a higher priority than the price of my murderer is ......!" ”

"Only the victims themselves." Xue Feng continued, "Moreover, compared to others, the exchange that acts on oneself is always the one with the highest priority. ”

"That's right, the one who pays the price of Xing's resurrection is Xing himself."

"And the price is memory!"

Forgetting all the memories of their lives may really be the best choice for these two people. But is there really a best of both worlds in this world?

Maybe it's because he feels that his former companions have started a new life, maybe it's because he feels that he is too cowardly to commit suicide and doesn't deserve Kiriko to pay the price to resurrect himself, or maybe it's because he wants to start over after witnessing this new world......

Maybe it's all mixed up, maybe it's just a more pure reason, but in any case, Yuki has made a choice and is willing to pay for it.

"Really...... But, Xuefeng you ......" After his conjecture was confirmed, Kiriko first said with a bitter face, and then suddenly remembered something and wanted to ask Xuefeng.

However, Xue Feng directly interrupted Kiriko's words and replied: "Do you think that after the great change in heaven and earth, the soul seed of other people has disappeared (at that time, the soul seed of other people was not in Kiriko and others, so it disappeared after the great change in heaven and earth), under the effect of the law, according to our setting, reincarnation became the god of this new world." And is the soul of Luck still just the soul of an ordinary person? ”

"In other words......" remembered that Yukikaze had answered her own answer after recovering a part of the memory of this world when she asked herself, and Kiriko seemed to finally realize something.

"The soul of Luck, although incomplete, is not a true divine soul. But it also has divinity, it can be said that it is the existence of a demigod soul, and a mere soul seed can really block the demigod soul's access to information from the outside world? Xue Feng asked rhetorically.

"That's right," Yukikaze continued, without waiting for Kiriko to answer, or to ask something again, "Although I have washed away all of Yuki's memories of life, when Yuki's soul became a demigod, I have already accepted the identity of the god and related memories that we originally set for Yuki, and I have not washed away this part of the memory. So, when the last princess opened her eyes again, her name was no longer lucky, but—"
