Chapter 70—The Road to Salvation (8)

Loga had a trance-like dream.

In his dream, he saw the entire Milky Way burning.

In his dream, he saw his brothers turn against each other.

In his dreams, he saw that everything about the empire was falling apart.

The rationality of the past is gone.

The ruins were induced in ways no one could have imagined, and the destruction was spreading on an unprecedented scale.

The sea of stars boils, and the stars fall.

Until all efforts are in vain, until all the good things are burned.

……

Luo Jia panicked and slammed to her feet.

Warm sweat trickled down his angular cheeks, and fear still reflected in his sleepy eyes.

——… Nightmare?

It wasn't until a moment later that Luo Jia realized that everything she had seen was just a dream.

But the scenes in those dreams were so real that his spirit was almost immersed in them, and even a few burning phantoms still remained in his vision.

And the burning phantom gradually coincided with the promethium candle flame.

When the two coincided again in Loga's dilated pupils, all illusions in the dream seemed to disappear.

Now, all she has in front of Luo Jia are files and documents that need to be corrected, as well as ink that smells strongly.

No splatters of flesh, no falling bridges, no whispers of madness and confusion.

In the quiet room, there was only a slight flickering candlelight.

It seems that it is just a false alarm.

The muffled breathing of the genoplasm echoed through the room, like a thunderous wheezing comparable to the sound of a high-powered machine running, so that the Lord of the Red Sand, who was immersed in his work, slowly raised his head.

"Looks like you're not resting well?"

Looking at Luo Jia's sleepy appearance, Elaine raised her eyebrows slightly.

“… I'm dreaming about those things again. ”

Luo Jia sighed slowly.

"Again. I dreamed of those visions again... Those... A future where the stars burn and reason collapses..."

From Luo Jia's tone, it is clear that this is not the first time.

After Magnus confirmed that Loga's old friend was okay, the Lord of the Fifteenth Legion left, and Loga and Elaine began to continue their work.

During these days in Colchis, Lorga was plagued by 'nightmares' every day. Although the body of the genetic protogenone needs little rest, Luo Jia often falls into dreams unconsciously - maybe this place where he grew up makes Luo Jia's spirit relax, or maybe something is subtly affecting him...

Or perhaps, it was just the 'message' and 'mission' from the future that Elaine told Luo Jia that weighed on him with an excessive burden.

"What do you mean... What do these repetitive dreams portend? ”

“… Perhaps, but I would prefer that these 'foreshadowings' do not come true. ”

Luo Jia said a little tiredly.

"Some things have turned out more than I could have imagined – in fact, I'd rather believe that these are just inconsequential nightmares."

"It seems... You have awakened some unique talents inherited from your father. ”

Elaine looked at Loga with interest.

[It's like this-]

Suddenly, Elaine's voice rang out in Luo Jia's surprised gaze.

[Don't panic, my brother. Our father is the strongest psyker in this universe... Despite the fact that Imperial Truth has a very bad attitude towards psionic powers, the fact that the psionic power of the Lord of Mankind supports the Star Torch cannot be denied. 】

[This...]

Before Luo Jia could say more, a vast world appeared in front of his eyes again—the majestic snow-capped peaks stood at the end of the horizon like pillars of the world, and the vast sea of mind under his feet continued to ripple with Luo Jia's mood.

Until the slender figure in a light tulle skirt slowly came to Luo Jia's face.

[My brother, Lord of the Seventeenth Legion, Sage of Colchis, Purveyor of Imperial Truth, Genoplasm...]

[These are your identities, and these are your responsibilities. 】

Her ethereal voice called out to Loga, like some ancient bard.

[When those of us awaken certain talents, it is a sign that heavier sufferings and trials are coming...]

[No matter when and where, the crisis will not take the initiative to leave. 】

[There is not much we can do, only by redoubling our efforts and paying twice as much can we gradually reduce the possibility of a crisis. 】

Loga's throat slid slightly.

In a trance, Luo Jia seemed to see more things, such as the scarlet shadow that lingered on the figure in front of her, such as the cold golden light bursting from her right arm... There are also light blue feathers hovering around him.

Everything in reality and the environment began to become illusory, and Luo Jia's eyes could even directly interpret the endless information and knowledge contained in these documents in front of her...

What an amazing feeling.

At this moment, Lorga seemed to recall what Magnus had said about psionic powers, and subspace...

And then there's the twisted and massive existence that Elaine explained to herself, the Lord of Humanity is fighting against.

Time slowed down at this moment, and Luo Jia could see the numbers and words that Elaine was going to write in the next moment, and she could see what she looked like a few seconds ago, before she put pen to paper.

You can also see Elaine's gaze towards her.

For this sister who can foresee the distant future, Loga does not have a good impression of her at first - because she has executed and convicted the chief priest of the Bearer without knowing it... Even up until now, Loga had wondered why Elaine had been able to find out that Erebus and Colfaron were outright traitors.

Now, Luo Jia understands a little.

Miracles are always around us. 】

[The gods are always with us. 】

Elaine whispered softly.

In her vision, the brother's increasingly illusory form signaled that he had fully awakened to that unique psionic gift.

In fact, Elaine was well aware of Loga's anomalies in the past few days—especially the psionic fluctuations emanating from him, if the projection of the psionic in subspace was a bright torch, then the shadow of the protogenetic brother was like a shining star.

[Now, there are more jobs waiting for you, my brother. 】

[Just cheer up.] 】

“… Okay, sister. ”

Luo Jia couldn't help but sigh, and her consciousness returned to reality.

He looked at the documents in front of him with a complicated expression about the large-scale industrialization of Colchis, and the establishment of multiple outposts for expeditions, even though the brain of the protogenitor could easily do this level of work, but the scene he had just seen... It was still in his mind for a long time.

Broken empires, decaying thrones...

Also, a dark future with no hope...

These are things that need to change.
