"Maybe we need to pay a price...... But for a better future, it's necessary to learn to make trade-offs, isn't it? ”

After saying goodbye to King Kong, Lizzette and Leah have gone to the Army headquarters to report - nominally, all the Constructed Warriors are still under the jurisdiction of the Army.

Walking alone on the way back, thinking about the words that came from the darkness before leaving, Lilan felt the urge to laugh for no reason.

"That's a ......"

At the very beginning, the fundamental difference in the ultimate goals of each side determined that the "better future" between them could not coexist, and in this case, they tried to save the half-dead federal navy by "abandoning" themselves...... Are you kidding?

The last thought has completely dissipated with the "answer" just got, exhaled, Li Lan looked at the half moon in the sky, and the long-lost sense of freedom spread from the bottom of his heart little by little.

It's long overdue.

"May I ask ......" An abrupt voice interrupted Lilan's thoughts, and he suddenly turned around, and the light energy stored in his left hand was ready to go.

“…… Are you also from Earthling? ”

“…… Ha? ”

―――――― Split ――――――

Shiyin, the former head of the Federal Department of Technology and Research, was the former chief scientist.

This young girl was born out of thin air 50 years ago, relying on a "Theory of Dynamical Systems" to successfully "ascend to the position", with overwhelming academic knowledge and research and development ability, the chief scientist of the Federation for 10 consecutive terms, until a few months ago it seems that because of disagreement with the upper echelons, she stepped down from this position, but in terms of academic aspects alone, especially in the field of dynamical systems, she has mastered more than 100 years of knowledge.

And it was such a "grandmother" who was at least 65 years old, but she asked Lilan such a question in the moonlight: "Excuse me...... Are you also from Earthling? ”

Looking at the silver-haired girl in front of her with an expression that seemed to be expectant and fearful, Lilan suddenly felt that her series of inferences and speculations were like a fool - she had not tried to hide her identity as a time-traveler at all.

On the Reach Star. Asking if a person is from Earth, Lilan really can't think of anyone else who would do it except the Traveler.

And the silver-haired girl in front of her, who has an unknown age difference from her actual age, also proved her identity as a traverser in the following words: "I'm sorry, I suddenly asked you like this......"

When I closed my eyes and opened them again, I had regained my calm—I had experienced many things and things. Mature and wise calm.

The girl stretched out her palm to Rilan: "My name is Shiyin, a scientist from Earth"

Lilan was dumbfounded: "Lilan, a ...... from another world Magician"

―――――― Split ――――――

Under the moonlight, along with the girl's pent-up emotional outburst that had been suppressed for 50 years, Lilan also understood her true identity little by little - a non-pure earthling born on the earth.

Felix, according to Shiyin's description, this should be similar to IVF, believing that the biggest difference between the "new humans" developed by genetic modification and ordinary humans is the ability to absorb, control, and understand knowledge. and the huge difference between the theoretical life limit and the aging of her appearance, which is why she has been able to live in this world for 50 years, and her appearance is still the same as when she first came to this world when she was 15 years old.

"I'm sorry" After listening to Shiyin's description, looking at the girl's eyes mixed with expectations and fears, and mixed with various emotions, Li Lan just said helplessly: "Although I did live on the earth, it shouldn't be the 'earth' in your mouth."

"Huh......?"

"If you have a parallel world, you should be able to understand it, right?" Point to the ground beneath your feet. Lilan said slowly: "Different choices will evolve different futures, and each different future will give birth to a different world. The same Earth, its name may have changed for some reason to the distant star, to the near star, to the middle star...... It's all possible."

"And those worlds called Earth may also be on a very different trajectory of development because of some small surprises, technology. Magic, cultivation - all this is unknown"

After a pause, Lilan looked regretfully at Shiyin, who still hadn't reacted from the news, and said, "I'm sorry, although the 'earths' I've been to, there really isn't a 'earth' with the Felix race."

- Absolutely. It could also be that you went to the ancient times of that world, or the end times, but in terms of the results, it doesn't make a difference.

"Is this so......" lowered her head, and the girl's tone was unconcealable with loss: "Maybe, it's okay like this"

It's like forcibly convincing myself: "I've been living in this world for 50 years, maybe this world is my 'hometown' for the earth that used to be......"

“…… I'm sorry," said Lilan for the third time.

This feeling of "leaving home" but not even being able to see his homeland is all too familiar to Lilan.

"Hmm~" Shaking her head slightly, under the soft moonlight, the girl smiled sadly: "It's not your fault, and I'm used to it"

Taking a deep breath, Lilan suddenly asked, "May I ask how you entered this world?" ”

"Into this world?" Looking at Rilan strangely, Shiyin replied honestly, "I was studying in the library at the time, and I suddenly came here when I walked out......"

As he spoke, his brows suddenly furrowed: "It should be...... I guess I was influenced by their 'experiments'."

Li Lan's pupils shrank, but his tone was still calm, as if he asked casually: "Experiment?" ”

"Hmm" There is no doubt about him, Shiyin seriously recalled: "That is a huge instrument placed in the laboratory below, if you input enough energy, it can even tear the space to other planets-" Thinking of Li Lan's words just now, the girl's tone froze: "I'm sorry, it should be to other parallel worlds, tear out a passage that can lead to other parallel worlds"

"Then, teleport back something from that alternate world...... That's how the prototype of the InfiniteStratos armor came about, but it can't be made independently because of the internal encryption......"

It's a new word.

Thinking around, Lilan asked "curiously", "InfiniteStratos?" ”

"You've seen that," Shiyin smiled at Rilan, "The composite armor used by Kamihime was created by simulating the InfiniteStratos armor and using the ship's uniform."
