Kaleidoscope......

That's right, that's probably the only word that can describe this starry sky. Outside the porthole, the entire universe seemed to be cut into countless pieces. Each piece is self-contained and self-contained. They huddle together silently, giving the impression that a mirror has been broken, and each piece reflects itself.

The location of the mothership is one of the relatively large fragments. And in the back is a wormhole.

As the mothership burst in, the entire universe shook a little. Then it calmed down.

But the face of the blood pupil changed. Because at this very moment, the mothership has broken into another 'debris'. It was so weird to him. Vaguely, the blood pupil felt as if she had become two people. One is in normal condition, while the other is somewhat sluggish. The difference is so small that it is not noticeable without comparison. But once compared, it is so clear.

The blood pupil suddenly groaned in pain and asked in disbelief.

"Time out of sync?"

"You're right." Heck replied with a smile. "Every piece of the piece here has its own time, its own rules. And they do not interfere with each other. I don't know how the Crodils do it, but there's no doubt that once you've gotten into too many pieces, the difference in time alone is enough to break you. So if you want to enter the ruins, the first problem is how to survive the hunt of time. ”

"How did you do it in the first place?"

"Look for the nearest route and go through the least amount of debris." Heck replied. "With our level of evolution, as long as there are not too many fragments that enter, we can withstand it. So it doesn't take much skill. Of course, it's not easy to find, but I've always done it, haven't I? We won't have too much trouble this time around. ”

"But......" Blood Pupil was stunned for a moment, and then a question came to mind. What about the others? Ordinary people don't have our constitution. ”

"Others?" Heck fell silent, and after a moment a slightly bleak smile appeared. "It's up to their luck......"

"Are you crazy? It's going to kill everyone. Ordinary people do not have our physique and lifespan, they are defenseless in the face of time, they will grow old and fail. The entire mothership will be turned into a grave. ”

Blood Pupil was suddenly surprised, and there was a faint anger.

Maybe he's a little aloof. But that doesn't mean he's cold-blooded. The death of so many of his own crew members was not what he wanted to see. And more importantly, the sacrifice is worthless!! These crew members are the logistics of the Space Marines, they are vulnerable individually, but they are extremely helpful to the Space Marines. Without these people, it's hard to imagine how they would return. Do you want yourself or Heck to pilot the mothership? That's just ridiculous!!

"Isn't there any other way?"

"Actually. Indeed it is. Heck shrugged his shoulders and sighed. I thought about it, if we had enough time, maybe we would be able to find a suitable passage. Minimize damage to the average person. But we don't. Like last time, we had to enter the ruins right away, otherwise it would be too late. ”

"For what?" The blood pupil looked at him and asked in a deep voice.

"Haven't you found it yet?" Heck smiled wryly. "Someone is already ahead of us."

As he spoke, he pointed with his hand. The blood pupil looked in the direction of his finger. Immediately froze.

I saw a long red trail appear in the 'starry sky' in a debris somewhere in front of them. That's the wake of some kind of spacecraft!! It's just that it's still in that fragment because the time is out of sync. Evidence of a break-in was left!

Heck was right, someone had already entered the Offset Plane before them and had broken into the ruins! …,

"It's the Elts." Heck seemed to know the doubts of the blood pupils, and said bluntly. "This red wake is their characteristic. They had already entered the ruins in advance. If I'm not mistaken, those two Demonic Warriors were with them last time, giving them the exact route. And the Mana people before it. They were sent to stop us. ”

"Won't they be afraid of sacrificing too much?" The blood pupil's eyes were cold, and he said in a low voice. "If the old man killed that Mana before, I'm afraid they won't be able to make up for it even if they get this ruin, right?"

"You don't understand the character of the Elts." Heck looked away. His face turned cold. "The Elts are one of the most cold-blooded races in the universe. Have strong religious beliefs. They are never afraid of sacrifice, and they do not consider the lives of other races as partners. In their minds, any living being, wrapping themselves around them, is a tool. And the tools are meant to be used. ”

"Not to mention the Mana people before, even if they themselves are not hesitant when it is time to sacrifice. The scariest thing about the Elts is that you never know what they're thinking. ”

Speaking of which, Heck gave a serious look at the blood pupils. "You're bound to run into them in the future, and I hope you won't be careless then. That's the only piece of advice I can give you. ”

Heck's voice was soft. But the blood pupil's face became serious. replied earnestly. "Yes."

"And now?"

"Sacrifice is a virtue, and in this universe, not only the Elts know how to sacrifice." Heck replied. But he didn't say a word.

But the blood pupil knew what he meant. That is, no matter what, they have to rush into the shards. And the fate of all the crew members is also sealed.

"............" The blood pupil fell silent, but a trace of anger and unyielding flashed in his eyes.

He's not a hypocrite, but he really doesn't want to see that end.

This is all because he was born on the post-apocalyptic planet of X35. Since childhood, he has struggled at the bottom of the world. In order to survive. He does everything and doesn't care about anything. He drank the most bitter dirty water and ate the most crunchy and filthy food. I've done the most despicable job, and I've killed the most unoffending people. Although this has developed his cold and decisive character, it also makes him understand the hardships of the low-level people better than anyone else. Feel the pain of ordinary people. Don't look at him as a high-flying space warrior at the moment, but in the deepest part of his heart, he is still no different from when he just stepped out of X35.

He is an ordinary man, from here to be.

The life of a cosmic warrior is noble, but what about ordinary people? Is it lowly?

Who defined it? Who sets the rules??

Unconsciously, Blood Pupil suddenly remembered her own confusion and the answers she kept looking for. I think of the mountain of guilt that Robbie climbed, and I think of the bleak rainy night of the twin siblings. Grief and helplessness, desolation and weakness. In a way, what is the difference between a cosmic warrior and an ordinary person? Putting aside their strong combat power, aren't they just as fragile? Struggling in the darkness of this universe?

No one knows the way, and the blood pupil never cares about justice and evil, light and darkness. But he cared about one thing...... Fair.

"With great power comes great responsibility."

"What did you say?" Heck was stunned for a moment and asked softly.

"No, nothing." Blood Pupil shook her head, barely suppressing her indignation. "I just feel a little uncomfortable."

"You think I like to do that?" Heck sighed, a hint of pain on his face. "I don't want to sacrifice them if I could. But there are no ifs now. We must get into orbit right away, or the Elts will surely get to the ruins before we do. ”

"Is a relic that important?" Blood Pupil asked suddenly. "Don't forget, the original Crodil people were just a bunch of slaves! You're robbing a group of slaves from their property, and you're still so ashamed to talk about it? What sacrifices, what virtues, are nothing but wishful thinking on your part. Have you asked the crew? Are they willing to lose their lives for the sake of your ideals? ”…,

"............," Heck was silent.

But the blood pupil didn't stop, still speaking slowly. "The original Crodil people shocked the entire universe as slaves, making many high-level beings fearful and how many so-called gods fearful. Are they, like you, unscrupulous in their ends? Even, let your own kind be sacrificed? If so, how did they create such a prestigious reputation? ”

"............" Heck was silent again, he wanted to refute the blood pupil, but he didn't know how to refute it. The words of the blood pupil are very vulgar, but they speak a truth that many people can't say. That is the justice of ordinary people.

At this moment, although Blood Pupil is a cosmic warrior like him, he is speaking for ordinary people. Speak for justice!! His voice was very slow, but he didn't know what the Dao contained in otherworldly power, and the suppressed Heck couldn't speak. (Speaking for the common people!!! ）

What a cosmic warrior, what a higher life. This is not a one-plus-one game. This is the dignity of life!! And whether it is a cosmic warrior or an ordinary person, in the face of the dignity of life, there is no distinction between high and low, no distinction between high and low!!

This is what Blood Pupil has to say, the most vulgar, the simplest, the most straightforward, but the most understandable truth. Even Heck couldn't argue with the truth of ordinary people.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn. Heck was silent for a long time. I don't know how long it took for him to sigh. whispered. "Do you think I don't want to? But at this time, what else can be done? ”

"Originally, I planned that the old man would protect us. But he had consumed too much in previous battles. Right now, he's still lying in the treatment nest. We really don't have any more options. ”

"Blood Pupil!!" Heck suddenly raised his head and stared at the blood pupils. "What else would you do if you were in my place? Can you really give up this mission for the sake of these ordinary people? Don't forget, this mission is not only about your fate, but also about the whole of humanity!! ”

"Claudir's legacy, we are bound to get it!!"

Before the words fell, the blood pupil felt a loud tremor under his feet, and the mothership had already rushed into the third space debris. As far as the eye can see, they have entered the sea of 'kaleidoscope'. There were mysterious fragments everywhere, and the difference between time and space became more and more obvious, and even the blood pupils felt suffocated.

Isn't there any other option???

Blood Pupil pondered silently, before he could speak. Paralyzed and felt a little abnormal.

His face changed at that moment. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
