City of York - "New Arcadia Energy Research Department" main office building

When Rin woke up from the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, his body seemed to be in a sea of starlight, and he was suspended in mid-air, leaning down to look down at the planet suspended in the sea of starlight. Then, as if he could feel the energy in his body being withdrawn, and at the same time, this strange voice came from his head:

"O my believer...... Children left on the earth...... It's time to wake up. ”

A new, somewhat pale will was slowly taking over his mind at this time. Rin reached out to touch the starlight in front of him, but he didn't feel his own, he couldn't feel his limbs, as if they weren't in his body at all.

He realized where he was when the old man's voice came from the luminous orb, and the luminous orb in front of him was translucent, and inside was a tall humanoid creature with a white body. Its head is topped by a quarter-missing circular ring, and the musculature throughout its body suggests that it is a male organism.

However, the old voice is a combination of male and female, and it seems familiar. When he remembered the familiar voice, he couldn't remember anything. And, he just thought it was familiar, but he didn't know where he had heard it.

He called out the names of the two siblings, Nelai and Neb, but received no response. However, the old voice still echoed in his ears, and said something like this:

"The first trial has been lowered...... A trial called 'Despair'. ”

At the humanoid lifeform, this majestic and solemn voice slowly came. And Rin didn't know what was going on in his body at this time, the energy sealed in his body was also turning into glowing star fragments at an extremely fast speed, breaking out of his body and injecting into the huge creature in front of him.

At this time, the "source number" Nap was already ready to start the final work of the "Rebirth Plan", and he instructed a few people who were looking at the "Rin" cabin in front of him, and signaled them to take good care of this kid, so as not to let the instrument "boom" be blown up.

The researcher said to Knapp, "Lord Knapp, the condition of the test subject has stabilized, and the current fusion level is around 60%. ”

"It's good, if we continue like this, our great cause will be completed...... Lord Agnes will lead us to the path of 'evolution', and this 'mutilated body of God' will also be awakened by us...... Boom. ”

The boy in the experimental cabin was Rin, and in front of the huge cabin, Knapp's short, gray cloak was also letting out a shrill laugh. For him, he had long since abandoned his "human" identity and joined the glorious evolution in order to respond to the expectations of Lord Agnes.

He used his mimic lawmaker ability "Data Transmission" to capture Bronya and the others, but only took Rin out alone and locked it in the experimental chamber in front of him that fused with the "Dagama of Despair", and channeled the "unknown energy" in Rin's body into the huge mutilated body.

The huge, dilapidated figure of the "Desperate Da Gama" was in front of the eyes of the staff. The tall human figure, covered in a mysterious metallic substance of snow-white, was curled up in a ball like an unborn baby, placed in a tall column behind the cabin.

This is "Hope", one of the "Ten Heavenly Sages", and is also recorded in the Gamma literature as "the god of hope and despair". And it was also something that was excavated from the "ancient gamma ruins under the tide" before the "New Mandate of Heaven" was established, and it seems that it had been sealed there for a long time and had not been discovered.

The remnants of this "Dagama of Despair" are at the heart of the rebirth plan. Agnes was occupied by the will of the "Da Gama of Despair", and he naturally wanted to descend the existence called the "Ten Days Trial" in this world, and naturally wanted to revive this remnant body for his own use.

Agnes used the new cells of the Despair Da Gama to transform most of the Polaris Alliance into half-human, half-Honkai creatures "mimics". Only a creature such as a "god" can create a lawyer, and since this body is still in an incomplete state, the created "lawyer" is also incomplete, at most, it is a "superpower", not a "lawyer".

"Lord Knapp, what do you think of the rest of the people?"

The "remainders" in the mouth of this subordinate were, of course, Bronya and them. At this time, Bronya and the others were imprisoned in a cage specially designed to hold and guard the Honkai Beast, and the specially treated cage was able to isolate all Honkai abilities of the organisms within it, so that the locked target tended to be relatively quiet.

Bronya slept in the cabin of the test subject, known as the "cage", and in her consciousness, it seemed as if she were in the middle of endless darkness.

"The oldest woman, I'm more interested in her previous information...... the former follower of the 'Fourteen Laws of Creation-Laws of Reason', she has now lost all the power of the law, but now, the 'God' is in front of our eyes, for such a thing as God, the 'Lawgiver' can be described as a small and useless thing, take a good look at her, don't let her escape. ”

Knapp said proudly in a high-pitched sound rubbing against the glass, a sound that didn't match anything that a normal human could make. When the researcher learned of Knapp's order, he said, "Yes, I'll do it right away," and left with the papers.

"Boom."

At the same time, the door of the Energy Research Institute was blasted open, and three motorcycles, breaking through many obstacles, finally arrived here. Knapp also heard this movement, and hurriedly got up and prepared to rush to the place where the accident happened, he knew who the person who came here to trouble him was, and he also smiled and said:

"It's finally here...... Traitors. ”

Despite its name, the structure of the "Energy Research Institute" is indistinguishable from that of a factory, with a large number of abandoned and intact experimental chambers stored in the underground area, all of which are humanoid monsters covered in snow-white skin.

It was the product of a failed fusion with the "Da Gama cell", something that Neo-Arcadia had violated by using the human body for forbidden experiments, and they were the same as the movements of Da Gama's mother—curled up, like an unborn baby, waiting for a new life to come. Ryan knew that all the things stored here were "forbidden test items", which belonged to the abominable creations that desecrated human identity, and he also asked Aiden indignantly: "Boy, do you want to destroy all these things?" ”

Aiden said not to startle the snakes yet, they were able to come here under the siege of the New Arcadia fighters, there was already a lot of noise, and if this continued, Knapp's highest guard might notice this, and they had to be careful.

They are located in the abandoned testing area of the underground waterway, which is the area where the discarded test subjects are stored. Although they didn't spot any guards when they first entered, a large, heavily guarded Titan robot not far away caught their attention, this Titan robot was guarding the passage on the upper level, deploying its search and scanning device, constantly looking around, trying to spot the intruder.

"That guy is a giant autonomous combat weapon made by Kamisato Heavy Industries." Ryan recognized the huge guy. "I didn't expect Knapp to buy this kind of thing and use it to guard the underground area."

Aiden was about to signal his men to join him in destroying this huge roadblock, saying "Get ready, everyone", and Shizuru and Norney also replied in the affirmative to Aiden's instructions, and they all took out their weapons and prepared to fight.

The crowd struck at the giant mechanical Titan, and when the Titan's red light scanning device detected the enemy, it switched to attack mode, flashing its arm saws and attacking the four.

Before Aiden, Shizuru and the others approached the Giant Titan, Norni drove her Sacred Engraved Technique to summon a huge flame nova that exploded at the Titan's feet, emitting a bright "boom" sound. Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and even the ceiling began to collapse.

"Is it still too powerful...... I'm sorry. Realizing that her firepower was too strong, Norney put away her staff and apologized to the others.

Aiden said he didn't need to apologize, and that it was a place to be destroyed anyway. So, after confirming that the Titan was eliminated by Norney and was incapacitated, they took the elevator in the underground area and prepared to move to the upper area. And this underground elevator can only be used through the New Arcadia employee certification, and Ryan was a little surprised when he found out that the employee ID card he carried with him could drive the elevator.

"I didn't expect my staff card to work...... It's an amazing thing. ”

"It seems that Agnes didn't have time to erase the employee data you stored in the headquarters, don't be too loose yet, and when you get to the top, you don't know what enemies you will encounter."

Just as the elevator was about to start, everyone was shocked to find that the huge titan suddenly stood up and shot a string of missiles in the direction of the elevator.

"Boom, boom."

The elevator is running, and through the transparent elevator mezzanine, everyone can see that the transparent explosion-proof material has begun to show signs of large damage.

"What to do? Mr. Aiden. Shizuru began to ask Aiden about his next steps.

Aiden gritted his teeth and looked at the exit area above the elevator, so he had to let the four of them grab him, drive his mimic lawmaker ability, turn everyone into crows, and then force them to fly up. Although this is more physically demanding, he can only do this, and he and his companions must not be in danger, which is Aiden's first thought.

Just when the elevator was about to fall endlessly because of the damage, in an instant, a group of crows flew up, flew out of the damaged mezzanine of the elevator, and flew straight to the upper area. At the same time, Napu is also leading a group of armed men in New Arcadia to search for the invaders in the vast research institute.

He knew who the people who came, and the people who knew this place, if not to receive outside intelligence, then only members of the Polaris Alliance. He was sure that these people were the betrayers led by Aiden, and only those insiders could find here, so he didn't plan to let them go.

"Report to Lord Knapp, the intruder is in Area C3 and is heading upwards." One of his sentries said, and when he heard the defense of these intruders' positions, Napu also made a "sloppy" sound and laughed arrogantly.

"That's the only way to reach the Vasco Module, but these 'test subjects' themselves have been sent to the door, do they think I don't have a solution? Go, grab them with me. ”

So, he continued to lead the men towards the area of C3-B3, intending to intercept the four men there. It was at this time that Aiden and the others had just arrived at the passage in the C3-B3 area, only to find a large mechanical guardian guarding the passage here.

It looked like a mixture of a crab and a spider, and was as tall as a building, and although it was not known if it was Knapp's bad taste, it made it look like this, but as soon as it spotted the invading four people, it brandished its two large mechanical forelimbs and rushed towards it with great agility. At this time, the missiles of the Automatic-Titan type weapon were also bombarding the wall organization outside the corridor, presumably the chasing Titan arrived here, and the structure of the entire suspended corridor began to become unstable.

Aiden arranged the battle of the team members and gave the order: "Norney, please leave the fire support to you, let's go!" ”

Shizukyu, Aiden, and Ryan all brace to battle, pulling out their weapons and running towards the giant spider machine. Behind her, Norni is also chanting the "Fire Technique: Crimson III", wanting to use powerful spells directly to solve the battle with a single shot.

I saw Ryan punch the giant mechanical spider's front claw, and the powerful impact made the air tremble, and Jingliu also pulled out the knife, and cut it into two pieces with a slash. Aiden took out his revolver and fired two shots at one of the mechanical compound eyes of the mechanical spider, the bullet piercing through its steel armor and penetrating deep through the compound eye.

"Warning, the body is damaged and begins to output maximum power."

After the alarm of the mechanical spider appeared, the mechanical spider seemed to change its original action pattern, constantly attacking the ground of the suspended corridor, and the ground cracked, and there was a posture of cutting off the entire corridor.

"Pyromancy, Crimson III, Sun Nova!"

Norney's spell exploded on the mechanical spider's body, and the heat of the flames and the metal meltdown area emitted sparks, blowing up more than half of its body.

"Well done! Norney. ”

In the face of Aiden's praise, Norney also showed a smile and said "um", thanking Aiden for his praise. Then, as the team members signaled the team to ignore the external impact and move forward, Aiden noticed that a swift and sharp object had pierced the floor of the corridor that had just been destroyed by the giant mechanical spider.

It was an electric drill chasing the Titans, breaking through a crack in the ground and appearing in front of the four. When everyone found out that the chasing titan was not completely dead, and when the pursuit came, Knapp also came from behind with a large army, surrounding and intercepting the four people.

"Up! Catch these four damn traitors! ”

With the Mechanical Titans in front and the large pursuers behind, the New Arcadia Rebel four-member squad is in a difficult situation at this time, trying to find a way to break through both lines of defense at the same time.

"Leave it to me."

Shizuru stood still and made a knife drawing posture, and the knife qi slashed beyond the ground where the four people were, forming a circle, encircling the four people in the circle.

"Kamisato Ryu, Secret Sword, Sky Lan!"

The sword light was sacrificed, like a cold wind, from the circular sword qi in all directions, forming one sharp wave after another, attacking the attacking New Arcadia armed men, piercing their bodies, and shattering into dust, drifting away in the air.

"It's still that powerful, Miss Shizuru." Ryan said with a laugh. "With such a level of security, how could it be possible to stop the four of us?"

Seeing this, Knapp was also furious, and he stretched out a hand from under his cloak, only to see that the mechanical spider that had just been blown up by Norney had been repaired to the same extent as if it had been recoded. Seeing that the chasing titan had rushed up, Ryan swung his iron fist and collided with the electric drill that pursued the titan, using his tough body to provide a safe environment for the other four.

Aiden threw a crow and bit Ryan on the shoulder, and in an instant, Ryan's body erupted with great force, shattering the incoming electric drill, and with another punch, sending the pursuing titan flying far away.

"Thank you." Ryan thanked him. "Your abilities are still so useful, Kid Aiden, with your 'biological hormones', I will have ten times more power! Come on! ”

Aiden had just injected Ryan with biological hormones, which could improve his combat ability in a short period of time, and at this time he became stronger than before, and it was not a problem to smash a few chasing Titans with his bare hands.

The mechanical spider also attacked Ryan, and after being injected with the hormone provided by Aiden, he became even more courageous, and directly punched the giant spider's huge chelicera, blasting the mechanical spider into dust.

"Damn...... Damn it! The four of you, who have abandoned your consciousness of being our fellow citizens, have chosen to oppose Lord Agnes...... Unforgivable! ”

Knapp was also hysterical, and he began to stomp his little feet, which made people see that they only wanted to laugh. The four of Aiden teamed up to defeat a large number of enemies, came to Knapp, and confronted him.

"Say, where are the people you have taken?" Aiden questioned him.

Knapp didn't answer, and after knapp calmed down, he crossed his hands on his chest, with an arrogant statement of "what can you do to me", laughed a few times, and then prepared to take off his cloak and fight with these people. He has a hideous face and expression, his real identity is a "short old man", but his face looks very disgusting as if it has been spliced together by human tissue. This is also the reason why Knapp has been reluctant to show his true face.

"I've been working together for so long, and you still don't know who I really am, so that's ...... Let's take a look! ”

The moment he took off his cloak, his short body began to swell, covered in snow-white siliconized tissue, and turned into a huge one-eyed monster with eight hands on its back.

"He's coming, everyone be careful." Aiden commanded.

After freeing the mimic lawmaker core in his body, Knapp caused it to go berserk and proliferate like Annania, the growth limbs on his back still growing in size, and they were coming towards the four of them.

"Crimson Four, Incineration!"

A flash of fire shot out from Norni, but when the flames penetrated Nap's body, everyone discovered that his terrifying "data" ability actually turned the flames into a part of the data in the imaginary space and teleported it, without any chance to hurt him.

"You're making me angry, as a monster like me...... You have chosen to side with humanity, and you still don't know where you stand? We are 'monsters' and we are all 'monsters'!! It's unforgivable that you chose to help humanity!! ”

Knapp roared, spitting out an imaginary dark blue light from his mouth, and although they were dodged by the others, they found that the ground they were still standing on had begun to fuse, revealing a dark area of the sky, and a bitter cold wind poured out of the huge chasm and blew on them.

"Run." When Aiden subconsciously said these two words, Ryan hurriedly picked up Norny, who was the slowest in action, and the four of them hurriedly fled in the direction of C3.

Although they moved quickly, the giant monster that Knapp had turned into behind them was still chasing them. As it chased, it spat out the data transfer light in the imaginary space, digitizing and disappearing all the roads that could be seen around it. They also knew very little about Knapp when they were in New Arcadia, he was always secretive, and he was one of Agnes's cronies, so he didn't have much contact with him.

However, when they raided the Energy Research Institute this time, they began to feel terrified by the terrifying power displayed by Knapp, which was by no means an ordinary mimic lawyer, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was close to the existence of a "lawyer".

When Marilyn attacked the Mandate of Heaven City, she also told Urlandel that with the help of the "Lawgiver", they were able to easily break through Maitreya's external prohibition and successfully attack the Mandate of Heaven.

"Escape! Run! I'm going to eat you and become part of my body data! Boom. The oozing laughter was still chasing them, and they had to flee for their lives.

At this time, Aiden didn't care so much, and directly took out the communicator and sent a distress message to the headquarters of Destiny, "The situation is urgent, we need support!" ", I want the high-ranking members of the Council of Thirteen to send rescue soldiers to deal with this terrible monster in front of them.

Ryan hugged Norny, the petite Norny shrunk into a ball in the big man's arms, while Ryan ran as hard as he could, and from time to time he would look back at the Knapp who had caught up. Just as he ran to the gate at the end of the corridor, an imaginary laser from Knapp struck again, and Aiden quickly motioned for everyone to lie down, allowing the laser to penetrate the iron door in front of him.

"If we continue like this, we won't last long...... The three of you go first, and I'll come to the back of the temple. ”

Aiden's physical strength was close to the limit, not only when he turned into a group of crows and left with everyone when the elevator was destroyed and was about to fall, but also when he experienced the battle against those enemies, and now when he was being chased by Knapp, he now realized that he was almost at the limit, and if he continued like this, no one would be able to escape.

Usually as a researcher, he doesn't have many opportunities to fight, and his physical strength is not as abundant as Ryan and Shizuru, so after covering the retreat of the three of them, he confronted the huge monster.

"Say, 'Doctor,' and I'll pass on your last words to Lord Agnes."

Aiden only saw the huge black eyeballs approaching him, and the elder's sharp-toothed mouth followed, sticking out his long, disgusting, sticky red tongue and spitting hot air at him.

This is no longer a human being, the current Nap is a pure "monster", it does not belong to the "Honkai Beast" nor to the "Quasi-Lawr" or "Lawr" or the like, it is completely a combat weapon that absorbs an excess of Honkai energy and is driven by the "Imitation of the Lawgiver Core".

When Aiden realized that he might want to use "that", he also closed his eyes tightly and said slowly, "I'm sorry, sister...... Friend...... If you can still see me...... words" and prepare to live to die.

'What are you talking about?' Doctor', is that your last word? ”

Aiden was determined that as a mimetic lawyer, he also had similar abilities to "Mebius". The ability called "Erosion Overload" causes the mimic lawmaker core in his body to go berserk and become a deformed monster like him before he has a chance to defeat it.

However, if he did so, his consciousness of being Dr. Edward would no longer exist, and he would never have the opportunity to meet Rin and sit in a café and talk to each other in the future.

"it, there's no trick, boy."

Just when Knapp was still triumphant and was about to swallow Aiden in front of him, a powerful energy burst out from Aiden's body, this energy was pitch black and nothing, and quickly engulfed Aiden's entire body.

I saw Aiden's body change to a degree that was visible to the naked eye, with pitch-black skin appearing on his body, pitch-black feathers growing on his body, and his right eye becoming pitch-black and deep. The Night King, covered in a dark will, abandoned his human posture and stood before Knapp. Aiden couldn't go back at all, that is, when he launched the "erosion overload", Aiden instantly lost most of his consciousness and humanity.

"I didn't expect you to choose this path in order to stop me......"

Although Napu still retains the human mind, the Night Monarch, who has turned into a demon in front of him, is unable to do so. The last vestiges of his humanity were about to disappear as his body swelled, and the sharp jet-black wings on top of his massive body covered his unfolded giant crow wings, raising a pitch-black storm and strikingly towards Knapp.

"Ahhhh

The sharp night storm, mixed with the sharp blades of the wings, danced, pierced, and tore apart above Knapp's silver-white body, and the Night Monarch just waved his wings silently, looking at the poor thing in front of him, the monster that had lost its "personality", and chose to embrace the monster that had collapsed.

Aiden, who had freed all of the Imitation Lawgiver's core prohibitions, threw a punch at Knapp, piercing his entire body through his mouth and tearing it apart with a single blow.

The last remaining human will supported his mind, and after spitting out what no longer seemed to be a human voice, the Raven-humanoid Night King clutched his head and let out an earth-shattering roar of pain. The only thoughts, in his roar of pain, appeared the words he wanted to say to his relatives, friends, and companions. And the words he wanted to say at this moment also turned into the roar of the monster, supporting him to continue fighting.

"I'm sorry, but I don't need support anymore, if I'm no longer there by the time you get here...... I'm sorry, Shizuru, Ryan, and Norney, had a great time with you, really. ”

"Rin...... I haven't met you for a long time, but you have left a deep impression on me, you are one of the few friends of mine, people who are willing to listen to me, thank you. ”

"Sister, I can't go on with you anymore, please forget me in the future...... If there is an afterlife, I will be by your side too, really...... I'm sorry. ”

At the same time, Ace, who was still meditating in the room, suddenly felt a subconscious pain in his chest. She realizes that something has happened to Ed, and it is likely that he will never come back, and as his direct blood relative, the bloodline that Ace and his brother are connected to, which part of it belongs to the younger brother, is also gradually withdrawn from her body.

"Ed...... Ed ......"

With this in mind, she followed the blood connection and left the mansion and headed for the New Arcadia Energy Research Department. At the same time, the three members of the team also heard the voice, and after realizing that Aiden would never come back, Ryan put down Norney, and the whole person fell to his knees, and began to cry bitterly.

"Why...... You're going to do so much for us...... Aiden, my dear friend! ”

And Shizuru and Norni also realized this, and their expressions became solemn, looking at the tender man in front of them, Norny also buried her face in Jingliu's abdomen, and sobbed quietly.

He recalled a joke that Aiden had made with him one day, and Aiden at that time, who was ready to sacrifice all the time, smiled and said to him:

"What if I die one day? Ryan. ”

"Haha, you're so powerful, and you're so smart, I don't think you will."

But now, the joke between the two people at the beginning has now become true, Ryan doesn't believe that Aiden will choose his own rampage at this time, and the other two people don't believe it either, but that's the case, and it can't be changed.

Aiden's form as the Black Lord is changing, and he has now transformed into a giant black bat beast, slaughtering any New Arcadian fighters who come to stop him, far from Ryan and them.

"Quack, aa

He made such a sound, and the armed personnel who came to support could only be frightened when they saw this, and hurriedly fled behind him. But the armed man couldn't escape, and the bat beast had just swung its claws through his body, then slurped his blood, and had fallen into extreme madness.

"Mr. Edward, he tried to stop Knapp...... sacrificed. ”

With a sad heart, Shizuru responded to the Mandate of Heaven, and for a moment, the personnel in charge of communications over there also fell silent, and the air fell silent as if it were dead.

The beast seemed to be conscious, and only killed the armed men of New Arcadia, and moved further and further away from Ryan's direction - that was the last tenderness of Dr. Edward, and he activated the "erosion overload" in order to prevent his out-of-control self from hurting his companions and choosing to stay away from them.

"Sorry...... I can't...... ...... with you again Meet, dear friends, sister...... Forgive me, I had to do this. ”

The beast paced along, muttering the muttered words in its mouth. Just as the behemoth was about to break through the next area defended by the armed men, a chilling razor attack came towards the behemoth.

When the beast realized that it had been attacked, it noticed the person who had come here, and she was now looking at herself with tears in her eyes. She was her sister, but Dr. Edward, who had turned into a beast, didn't know her at this time, and could only roar at her.

"Ed, you are Charity......"

When Ace saw the giant bat beast, her instinct told her that it was her brother, and that the mimic core in her body had gone berserk and had become what it was now. But the giant beast didn't have the slightest emotion, and attacked Ace with teeth and claws, opening its bloody mouth to get more blood.

Seeing this, Ace subconsciously dodged and called his own brother's name, trying to wake him up from the demon's body. At this time, Edward in the demon's body was still asleep, and in the dream, he saw the person he wanted to see the most.

"It's still so ugly, stinky boy."

The short, girl-like woman, dressed in a snow-white researcher's uniform, was preparing breakfast for herself at the kitchen counter. It was Dr. Liesel, the adoptive mother who adopted him, and he used to dislike his adoptive mother very much, but because Dr. Edward was already in a state of madness at this time, the marquee before he lost his mind was also playing back and forth in front of his eyes.

"Dr. Lisel, I would love to call you 'Mother,' a wish that has been buried in my heart for too long."

"You've been so me that I wanted to run away from you at one point, but I couldn't."

"Mom, if you can respond to me, then I will die without regrets."

Just as he was deep in thought, he was suddenly hit the head, and when he realized the pain, the person standing in front of him changed again. It was Dr. Mikaledia, shouting at himself why he didn't hurry up and write his report.

Just as he was about to make excuses for himself, standing behind Mikaledia was a girl in a snow-white dress, blue eyes, and short white hair.

"...... Akia"

His childhood sweetheart, his small hair, although he is an experimental subject named "K594", but his feelings for Akia's brother and sister are real. He really wanted to accompany his sister to the end, but now that he has become like this, he can't help but feel emotional.

Countless memories, accompanied by Ace's words calling outside, hit his mind.

"Uh-huh, ahhh!!!h

Finally, at the call of his own sister, the mad beast stopped moving, fell on all fours in pain, covered its head and roared. And Ace also lost her reason at this time, and couldn't stop approaching this crazy beast, crying bitterly and shouting:

"Ed! Wake up! I make so much money that we will live in a bigger house and have a better life in the future...... Everything I do is for you......"

"I can't live without you! Ed! If you were so cruel to abandon me...... What's the point of my life! ”

Ace's tears had already soaked her eyes, and after she had uttered all her heartfelt words, the beast's body began to turn into plaster-like crystals, scattered on the ground. Inside the remains of the giant beast was Edward, who had already been infected by half of his body by Honkai crystallization, and when Ace saw this, he hurriedly ran up and hugged him into his arms.

He no longer had the last strength, and after devouring the body of the "Source Number" Knapp, the Honkai infection threshold in his body had exceeded the standard, and there was no way to save it.

"Listen to me...... Sister...... My time is running out...... Hope you ...... Back to Destiny...... Go back ......."

In his muttered words, he spat out these words, he knew what his sister had given up her path to becoming a Valkyrie, and what her hatred had been born for.

"Ed, don't go, Ed ......"

With the last of his strength, he touched Ace's face, which was already soaked in tears, at the last moment when his arm collapsed and crystallized.

"Sorry...... I'm going to...... Go first...... Sister...... I ......"

Finally, before the words of parting could be spoken, Dr. Edward closed his eyes, and the dark red crystals exposed in front of his chest also shattered with his eyes closed, turning into dark red starlight, surrounding his own sister Ace, surrounding her.

Ace didn't expect that this was the last time she and her brother would meet, and she finally lost her former queenly demeanor, and she lost her only blood relative, and lay on the body of Dr. Edward and cried.

It was at this time that Rin saw a friend who had suddenly visited in his conscious mind. Dressed in pitch black and wearing half of a raven's mask, he descended like a righteous thief.

The last thing Dr. Edward can do for his best friend is to transmit his "last consciousness" to his best friend's mind through the ability of Source Number Knapp, hoping that he will wake up soon.

"Dear friend, I finally see you, I have something to say to you, you don't have to answer, just do what I say."

Rin realizes that Dr. Edward has arrived, and is about to ask how he is doing, but he puts his finger to his mouth and motions for Rin not to speak. Rin felt the withering of vitality from his body, and because of this, Rin began to sobb uncontrollably at this time, revealing reluctant eyes, looking at his friend who had helped him countless times.

"Now you are the only one who can save yourself, and I have done my best, so if you are still conscious, then please wake up quickly."

"You still have important things to do, so ...... Please, wake up, you can't let 'D'Gama of Despair' continue to drain the energy from your body, don't do that...... Please don't be that cowardly you, be brave, okay? My dear friend. ”

After saying these words, Dr. Edward's figure, like black smoke, disappeared in front of Rin, leaving a dappled starlight. Rin also felt the disappearance of his best friend at this time, and slowly spoke:

"Goodbye...... Doctor ......"
