"Mora?" Xin Ye was suddenly shocked, why did Mora's name appear here? Astra, if Kokonoha remembers correctly, is the founder of this castle in the sky. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info But now, there is no time for her to panic.

She grabbed Clarna's hand and was about to open the gap, but was surprised to find that the gap was unstable for some reason, and she couldn't determine where the gap led. In other words, she had almost no way to escape, and Koroba, who had always relied on this, had to pick up the gun and run with Clarna.

"What the hell is going on? What happened? Clarna asked inexplicably.

"I want to know too."

Xinye scolded secretly and ran away along the way she came. Explosions and subtle gunfire can be heard outside, but what is going on? What did those two women come here to save Krana for? There was no time for her to think now, and the two quickly left the statue and ran all the way to the bottom floor, looking out through the exit door, they could see that many soldiers were either seriously wounded and fell to the ground, or had died.

War? Is this time of the year? The heart leaf gritted his teeth and opened a 'gap' outside. Out of her gap, a strange monster emerged, with short arms, floating in mid-air, its belly and head edged with tentacles covered in mouthparts, looking like a mythical creature that had escaped from the 'Cthulhu Mythos'. It was a deep diver made by Mora, with excellent defense and spell attacks. As soon as the monster appeared, Clarna immediately covered her mouth.

"It's... I've seen in my dreams... This thing—" she looked at the diver in disbelief.

"In a dream...? How can it be... It's my friend's creation, and theoretically no one knows except me and her..."Kokoba said this, suddenly remembering that Astra had also called Mora's name, "Could it be that this is another world?" Here's another me, another Mora... It makes sense, it seems that I am not lucky enough to walk side by side with Mora in this world. ”

"You're saying that you're an old acquaintance with the Science and Technology Research Institute of Sky City, Hermanes Mora?" Clarna was still surprised.

"Ah, this is another world, my old friend made this kind of thing, and that explains why you know about this..."

The two walked through the square under the statue, and Kokonoha quickly found an abandoned airboat, she took Clarna into the airboat, and was about to leave Sky City, but another airboat crossed in front of the two-person airboat at a very fast speed, and a woman who looked to be in her fifties and had gray temples stood on the airboat, looking at Kokoba and Clara coldly.

"It's you... This heart leaf, this is a real adventure, I'm glad to see you here..."Astra put her hands in the pockets of her white coat and sneered.

"Don't look like we know each other very well." Kokoba snorted coldly.

"Hahaha, yes, we do know each other very well, I know everything about you all too well," Astra laughed and said to her, "You served in the Sirius Commando, and after a certain time, you decided to leave the army and become a mercenary, and in the long wandering, you married a companion of the mercenary group, whose name I remember correctly... I don't quite remember, but you gave birth to a girl called "This Snow Leaf". It may seem like having a baby didn't dull your skills, but now? What about your children? This heart leaf! ”

“... Shut up! ”

"Kid?" Clarna looked at Heart Leaf, a little incredulous, "Your child... What's wrong with her? ”

"She 'sold' her child, my child," Astra looked at Clara dotingly, "She was addicted to alcohol after her husband's death, and she got drunk every day, and finally one day, she found out that her child was gone, and she was in her room, and someone left her $250,000, a good deal, right?" ”

Clarna took two steps back in horror, and she looked at Kokoba in disbelief.

"......" Kokoba was silent, she couldn't make any explanation, because it was the truth, she leaned against the next door of the airboat, looking at Astra weakly.

"And now you want to come here and take my daughter with you?"

"You imprisoned your daughter in the tower, Astra." The heart leaf fought back weakly.

"It's not captivity, she's been frail and sickly since she was a child, and there's an incurable disease in her body, and I'm in the attic for the sake of her body, and I visit her every day to prevent recurrence..."

Astra asked the airboat to come to the airboat where Kokonoha and Krana, and the middle-aged woman smiled kindly and held out her hand to Clarna.

"My daughter, you have to believe me, you are my pride, you will be the proudest thing in my life, not the same as this scumbag who is not accustomed to his daughter."

"Shut up!" Heartleaf gritted his teeth and drew his gun and pointed it at Astra. But Astra didn't look at her directly, she only had Clarna in her eyes.

"It's a lie, Astra, there's no way you're going to have children."

The petite brunette girl suddenly appeared behind Clarna, and she gently wrapped her arms around Clarna's neck, caressing Clarna's face as if she were her own child. There was a hint of joy on Clarna's face, she had already known Mora...

"Hermanes Mora!" Astra's expression suddenly distorted, "You betrayed, and you still have a face here?" You don't have the right to be my dependent! ”

"My lord, this is the last time I call you that, and when you do this foolishness, you will no longer be my master."

Mora replied loudly to Kokonoha, her petite body seemed insignificant, but her wisdom was unmatched.

"Do you want me to tell the truth? Krana is not your daughter at all, you were seriously injured in a mercenary operation and lost your fertility, Estella, no, this heart leaf, the 'great man' I once served, the 'noble man' I once served, and now the crown is added, and I am in the power of my lord. Clarna is not your daughter at all, her name is this Snow Leaf, is... Your daughter. ”

Mora looked at Konoha who was standing beside him, and his face looked a little sad.

"You say... What the? Heart Leaf froze in place.

"Everything is coming to an end, Astra, your empire, everything you have will cease to exist." Mora glanced sideways at Astra.

"No kidding, this is the strongest fortress in the world, my 'Noble Phantasm', 'Void Columbia', no matter what..."

When Astra said this, the statue of Krana was imprisoned with a strange light.

The light was so beautiful that the subtle purple color of the surrounding clouds was the same color.

"Impossible... That's the machine of wishes, how could it be ... This world is over..."Astra's eyes filled with a deep purple.

And the sound of gunfire finally ended her thoughts, and she poured all her anger into the dilapidated M9, shooting at Astra, ten shots, twenty shots, thirty shots... Until the gun overheats and breaks down, she keeps pulling the trigger.

――――

(Memory, human beings can only know themselves by this.) When memories and 'feelings' can be 'manufactured' as they are now, how can you use them to understand yourself? ）

(The difference between the existence of Jianye and me is only in the experience of seeing Ye after birth.) But even so, as you can see... We also distinguish ourselves perfectly. ）

The heart leaf and the seeing leaf are two completely different beings, even if there is no difference in appearance, memory, way of thinking, fingerprints and pupils, abilities, and even the holy pattern that exists as 'unique'. The difference in appearance is only in the additional ornamental part that Heartleaf adds to her holy crest.

But even so, they are completely different, even since she was 'born'. The reason? Kokoba couldn't understand it, and she couldn't understand it now. But at least she knew that even if she could create something indistinguishable from herself, that being would become something else. Is it based on post-birth memories? Heart leaves are not sure.

(Memories are ethereal, but you can only rely on this thing to know yourself.) ）

Whether the 'soul' exists in human beings, or even in the bodies of gods, is impossible to say. When 'technology' develops to a certain point, mankind will face the same problem.

And the heart leaf has now truly become a god-like existence.

"What do you want to do?" Tsuru Juya looked at Miha, who was staring at the 'giant ship' in the sky.

"Change the world?" Seeing Ye tilt his head slightly, "At least I like this world very much, and I want to keep it." ”

"Is this possible?"

The Freedom Method, which can destroy the world, is driven by countless of the same 'spirits', which are emanating from the primordial impulses of the lowest levels of human beings, and in this case, even the strongest spirit can hardly overwhelm the will of the entire world. The heart leaf not only unites the consciousness of all beings called 'heart leaves', but also the consciousness of ordinary people, and the primordial impulse to destroy will shatter the world to pieces.

"Possibly, if I connect my spirit to all people and guide the spirit of the ownerless, I am absolutely sure that I can do it. However, it may become difficult to distinguish who is who, right? I don't even realize my own existence, and I become a pure mixed spiritual lifeform... It's like 'knowledge' in the void. ”

That is, to sacrifice oneself...? Crane Shiye was silent for a long time, completely different from the heart leaf, but there was no difference in the eye, what was the reason why she was willing to dedicate herself? Tsuru Shiya didn't understand, even Kokoba and Miba didn't understand either.

"Is it worth it?"

"I love the world."

"But is it worth sacrificing your separate existence to become one with everything?"

"Probably?"

Seeing Ye is not very sure. She just 'wants to do this', there is no reason, it is not based on rational thinking, the purpose is very simple, but the reason is unpredictable.

(Can you hear me?) Crane Ten Nights. ）

(Kokonoha, what are you doing?) The voice of the heart leaf came to his head.

(It's the same as Miha wants to do, so, let me do it.) ）

(What do you say?!) ）

In another person, Tsuru Shiye would not be so surprised, but it was the 'heart leaf' that did this.

(I'm different, Tsuru Ten Nights.) I have no 'feelings' and I am not influenced by the spirits of other individuals. And I'm the only 'heart leaf' in the three thousand worlds, remember that, and I won't be counted next time. As early as the time I traveled to the world of Scarlet Leaves, all the 'I' became one, completely integrated, regardless of each other, even the spirit. This is where my tremendous power comes from, and the 'emotional recovery' you guess is partly influenced by this. ）

(So I was able to perfectly separate all the 'consciousnesses' and direct them in completely different directions, such as...) Create my own world, and then add my own part of their consciousness so that they can take ownership of the world. ）

"Do you want to be a full god in the new world?" Crane Shiye couldn't help but roar.

"God... Maybe that's the case," she put her index finger to her lips and thought for a moment, "Actually, it's also a state of 'not separating each other'. ”

"Everyone in that world will be a believer in Xinye?" Tsuru asked puzzled.

"No, it's not a good believer, that's a state of 'complete trust.' Just as the other heart leaves merge with the current heart leaves, the thoughts of all people in that world will be connected to the heart leaves, forming a unique and huge thinking circuit, which is transmitted to the heart leaves through the way of thinking of the individuals in them, and the heart leaves can give feedback if they wish. It is a direct prayer, and God will answer you immediately. That kind of world could become a world without war. ”

"How is that possible... Does that kind of world have a meaning to exist? It's nothing more than 'mind control'... It's nothing but a dystopian world. ”

"So, do God-chasers have the value of existence? Is there any value for human beings? For the universe as a whole? Seeing Ye asked, "That way is not a thought control, but a prayer in response, maybe everyone will trust the god 'Kokonoha', but they will not trust each other, and they will not get information from others." And in a sense, they are also loyal relatives of Xinye, and they will never do anything unfavorable to Xinye. ”

That kind of world is by no means a paradise where anyone can be happy - just like Kokoba hopes, her world will be the same as the ordinary world, the only difference is her existence.

"She'll observe everything that's happening in that world from the perspective of a third person, and then don't interfere in any way, that's all, well, in the end, it's still a stepping stone for Mother Kokoba." Seeing that Ye Wu didn't care, he smiled.

An innocent smile at that time.
