"Do you feel like you're going to the underground ruins and the deep sea of the Pacific Ocean?"

"Feel, what can you feel." Asuka Kazuma leaned back on a chair in Masaki Keigo Kuma's office, and said to Kasto while drinking the sake in his glass, "Except for the presence of darkness that can be felt when you are close to the deep sea, there is really no so-called ultra-ancient memory. ”

"Sure enough, as you speculated, light of different origins actually means different experiences and responsibilities, that is, I don't know if there is a light that belongs to the earth."

"Humph! Light is light, there is no need to give too many other definitions to light, the light of the ancient civilization originally came from the universe. Keigo Masaki casually entered the data recorded by diving into the deep sea of the Pacific Ocean into the computer, "But the local light should theoretically exist." ”

"But it hasn't actually shown up yet, has it?" Asuka Kazuma sighed with some pity.

He looked at Keigo Masaki, who was working in front of the computer, and suddenly said with some emotion, "However, even if there is no light on the earth that gives birth to itself, the level of human weapon research and development is already strong enough. ”

"Seriously, you were able to design that kind of huge biological weapon by yourself, except that it was a little more difficult to repair and could only be used on Earth, this thing was powerful enough, not to mention that there were still a lot of weapons on Earth that had been sealed and forbidden to be used."

"Have you seen wars between other civilizations in the universe? Star Wars? ”

"There is no big war, but there is always general friction and battles with monsters, but it gives me the feeling that it is like that, and the power is not beyond the scope of my understanding."

"How does it compare to the power of an atomic bomb?" Keigo Masaki asked earnestly and curiously, "I'm referring to the destructive power of the core area. ”

"Then you should directly compare our nirvana in the form of the Giant of Light, the upper limit of nuclear weapons is indeed very large, but it is impossible to really use it on Earth." Asuka said speechlessly, "Legend has it that there are nuclear weapons in the universe that can destroy planets, but those weapons are only used when civilizations are exterminated. ”

"And what about the power of weapons in warfare in general? Is the light strong in the position of a giant of light? ”

Asuka Kazuma shook his head and said, "Very little, that kind of powerful beam brought to us by the light is already the weapon at the bottom of the box of most civilizations in my cognition, in fact, normal life forms cannot survive this level of attack, so sometimes, for spaceships, defense is more important." ”

"Why?"

"How to say it, the power can always be stacked continuously, but after reaching a certain level, it is a level that can be destroyed with one shot anyway, and the benefits are not high when stacked."

"So human beings can't really go to the universe at this stage." Castor suddenly spoke, "Until you are 100% sure that a ship that can withstand enemy light is designed, interstellar voyages are still too dangerous. ”

"Humph! Speaking of which, the Kilielodes are quite strong in the universe, able to travel by extradimensional abilities in movement, and able to synthesize gigantic warriors in battle. Masaki Keigo said disdainfully.

"By the way, where's the witch?" Speaking of the Kilielods, Casto asked with some curiosity, "Didn't you say that you would handle his affairs?" You've been with us every day for the past two days, and you haven't seen you deal with the affairs of the Killilords. ”

"The Kilielodes who have entered into a partnership with humanity have begun to resume the lives of their original owners under the arrangement of the police department."

"After all, it was fused with the consent of the parties, and the human will in those bodies did not actually disappear completely, so it is not difficult for this part of the Killilords to deal with."

"As for the witch, I've already contacted Da Gu, that guy's words, it should be the closest to a 'normal person' among us, in addition to his super learning ability, even if he becomes Tiga, he still smiles every day."

After speaking, Masaki Keigo said with some hatred, "Obviously a person with such a talent, he already knows that his mission is very important, but why can he still be so optimistic about playing with those people every day."

"It's so good," Asuka Kazuma looked at the wine glass in his hand, "After knowing the other side of the world, it's good to be able to face the world with an ordinary heart without changing your attitude towards life."

"You actually think that guy is doing well now???" Keigo Masaki looked at Asuka Kazuma angrily, "He didn't choose to go to the universe like you, nor did he contact all of us like that guy on the surface, he just lives as an ordinary person every day, is this good, are you crazy?" ”

"You guy." Asuka Kazuma frowned and said to Keigo Masaki, "You have indeed done a lot for humanity, but you should have your own life, and you should grasp your life as an ordinary person. ”

"Humph! Everyman?! Masaki Keigo chewed these three words disdainfully, "Only someone like Dagu can do it, ordinary people, I, Masaki Keigo, can never be ordinary." ”

"Although it looks like you are scolding him, why do your words seem to be full of envy?" Casto looked up and down at Keigo Masaki, and then said, "Isn't it, in fact, some people know in their hearts that a life like his is actually problematic, right?" ”

"Humph! Bored! Seeing that Casto was about to talk about himself, Keigo Masaki stood up from behind his desk in an instant, and then left the office without looking back.

"Hey! Where are you going?! Asuka asked.

"Humph! I still have experiments to do! Keigo Masaki's voice became quieter and quieter, "I'm busy!" ”

Asuka Kazuma shook his head, then filled the glass in his hand again, and he looked at Casto, "Although we haven't been together for long, do you really care about this guy?" He's like."

He pointed to his head, "He's like the string in his head, it's too tight." ”

"This is already the time when he is most relaxed." Casto shook his head, "You must know that unlike others, he has been preparing for more than ten years before he became a light. ”

"It's really not easy, it means that he has awakened that ultra-ancient memory since he was a teenager, you must know that even an adult like me, after experiencing something like that, it took a long time to understand what he was going to do."

"Humans are powerful, more powerful than you think."

"What?" Asuka was a little overwhelmed by Casto's unfinished words.

"Keigo Masaki didn't ask you before, what kind of power the average weapon in the universe is, right? You think he's assessing the potential threat of intruders, but in reality, he's assessing humans. ”

"What do you mean?" Asuka Kazuma turned his head to look at the place where Keigo Masaki had been sitting, "He just wants to know, in the universe, what level of attack can protect himself?" ”

"As a pilot of the testing machine of the Zero Power System, you should know about another cosmic engine of mankind, the Max Power System, right?"

Asuka nodded, "Of course, when I flew the Plasma Hyakshi, my wingman was the Shirayuki equipped with Max's power system, and in fact, I myself flew the Shirayuki. ”

"Do you think that compared to Max's power system, the kind of Zero that allows you to see the light is the most advanced?" Casto asked.

"Of course." Asuka Kazuma did not hesitate, "The limit of the theoretical flight speed of the Plasma Hundred is the speed of light, and the limit of Max's power system is only half of the speed of light at most. ”

"But what if I told you that Max's power system could burst out with light that was no weaker than what you said to be, the light of the Giant of Light?" Casto said a little strangely, "The only problem is that the only people who know about the modification of Max's power system are probably only Keigo Masaki and Horii, and of course the inventor Dr. Yao himself." ”

"And Horii knew about this under the guidance of Keigo Masaki, and the design of the only weapon module of the Attedis was also designed by Keigo Masaki himself." Casto shrugged, "If nothing else, it's impossible for Horii and Yao to take the initiative to say such a thing in their lives." ”

"You're saying that humanity has actually mastered the ability to fight other civilizations in the universe? Then why didn't Keigo Masaki choose to use this weapon."

"Because that guy is Keigo Masaki."

"Eh" Asuka twitched the corners of his mouth, although they didn't get along for a long time, but the attitude of Masaki Keigo was too clear, "So he thinks that as the savior of mankind, he can protect mankind, and humans don't need such weapons?" ”

Asuka Kazuma was a little speechless by Keigo Masaki's behavior, "That's too arrogant and arrogant, isn't it?" ”

"It's not all like that." Casto waved his hand, "As one of the first to realize the possibility of weaponization of Mack's power systems, he thinks that there is huge room for improvement in this weapon, both in the preparation stage and in the launch stage, and more importantly, he feels that humans cannot use this weapon yet." ”

Asuka Kazuma is a little speechless, do you want to say that Keigo Masaki is not responsible? He obviously wants to be responsible for humanity, but is he really responsible? He never told TPC about such a big thing.

"What about you? Didn't make the trip home? Casto asked, "The report of the police officer in charge of protecting your home says that Asuka Shin said he saw you. ”

"It's my family business." Asuka Kazuma shook his head and said in a somewhat whispered tone, "I appreciate what you have done for my family, but that's enough, don't go any further." ”

"yes." Castor shrugged, "In the lives of left-behind children, TPC has no more ways to interfere. ”

"What can I do!" Asuka slammed the glass on the table, "I'm the chosen one, since I survived the miracle and gained that kind of power, then I must always fight for peace, I must do more, I must let more people enjoy a peaceful life."

Casto smiled and looked at Asuka Kazuma, "Do you remember what you thought about Keigo Masaki just now?" You think Keigo Masaki is arrogant and arrogant, you think his views on ordinary people are like something wrong with his brain, the string in his head is too tight, so how are you now?"

"Didn't you say the same thing as him and do the same thing as him?"

Asuka was stunned for a moment, then retorted, "I'm not like him. ”

"So what did you think of when you turned into light? If Keigo Masaki was trapped by the memories of the destruction of an ultra-ancient civilization, then what did you see when you turned into light?" Casto asked.

Asuka Kazuma appeared and took a sip of his glass, "There are many things that can affect people, but there are few things that can make people make up their minds. ”

Sure enough, although Asuka Kazuma had not seen the so-called ultra-ancient memories, he also saw something different when he fused with the light of the miracle of the universe.

"The day I accelerated to the speed of light in the Plasma Hundred was supposed to be a new chapter for humanity towards the universe, but just as I reached the speed of light, I felt the danger appear."

"Then, the Sfia orbs began to try to devour me, and I felt that I and my plane were almost assimilated by them."

"Your experience seems to be much more dangerous than Keigo Masaki."

"All the same, the moment I was about to be completely assimilated by Sfia, I felt the intention of the Sfia sphere, and they would one day launch an attack on Earth."

"That's when you started rebelling and then turned into light?"

"Yes, maybe it's my rebellion that summons the light, maybe it's something else," Asuka Kazuma's voice was calm, "I'm free from the sfia sphere and become one with the light." ”

After saying that, Asuka Kazuma raised his head and looked at the starry sky outside the window, unlike Keigo Masaki, the story of Asuka Kazuma turning into light is very short.

But like Keigo Masaki, because of this experience, Asuka Kazuma also subconsciously equated the Sfia Sphere with his own transformation into light, and he regarded the destruction of the Sfia Sphere as the price of his own transformation into light.

Casto watched Asuka drink one by one, and suddenly said with some emotion, "But Dagu also suddenly turned into light, and he also took it as his goal to protect the world and destroy monsters." ”

"We are different, I have seen the crisis that exists in the depths of the universe, and I have experienced it myself."

"He also faced the monster, and then he turned into light and merged with the stone statue."

"He can choose the life of a human being, but I can't."

Asuka Kazuma seemed to have drunk too much, he closed his eyes and muttered, "I can't go back to human life, I don't know how to continue to live a human life on Earth as a human when I know that there is a crisis." ”

"Masaki Keigo also couldn't understand why Dagu was able to continue to live an ordinary life, he felt that as long as he saw those ordinary people laughing, he would feel that he should do something."

"yes, we should do something." Asuka Kazuma's hand hung on the earth, and the cup in his hand fell to the ground and made a 'dang' sound.

"What should we do?" Horii looked at Keigo Masaki, "The weapon module of Max Power Systems should be ready, and we should start experimenting as soon as possible." ”

"I know you're very powerful, but now is not the time to discuss whether you're powerful or not, the verification of this weapon is very important to humans!"

Horii didn't know when he came to Masaki Keigo's laboratory, and was discussing with Masaki Keigo about the weapon module of Max Power Systems, he looked at Masaki Keigo and shouted loudly, "You know, human beings must need this powerful weapon in the future, especially at this stage, it is both a Killilord and a monster, and this powerful weapon can make human beings safer in future battles!" ”

"Humph! There's still room for upside, you know what! I, Keigo Masaki, am the designer of this weapon module, and I know he has room to rise!!! ”

"Spatial !?" Horii laughed angrily at Keigo Masaki's words, "Even if there is no room for growth from now on, this thing is now the most powerful weapon that humans can master!" ”

"Compared to other forbidden weapons, the Atlantis, Max Power System, and the Mags Cannon you designed, for the first time, humanity has found the right path!"

After saying that, Horii looked at Keigo Masaki a little speechlessly, "I don't even understand it, I can't understand whether you are arrogant or cautious!" ”

"Humph! To be able to do better, the first warship of mankind must be the best, and if you don't want to, then you can design it yourself. ”

Masaki Keigo walked in front of Horii, he was a little taller than Horii, so he looked at Horii condescendingly, "If you and Yao choose to design your own weapon module, I won't stop you." ”

"You know I'm not going to do it! The weapons you design are the best. Horii looked at Keigo Masaki with a wry smile, "Dr. Eight Tails won't do it either, we won't design weapons." ”

"Then wait! Believe me! Believe in Keigo Masaki! ”

Horii shook his head, and he didn't have anything to do about Keigo Masaki's tough attitude.

Once again, Keigo Masaki was left alone in the lab, and he returned to the computer and opened the blueprint of the Max cannon on the Atlantis.

The drawings have already been designed, and this is a weapon that Masaki Keigo has made after various considerations, and the weapons that human technology can currently reach its limits.

This is the drawing that came to mind the moment Keigo Masaki saw the Max power system.

Even Castor felt that Keigo Masaki wanted to design better weapons, but only Keigo Masaki himself knew, not so, Keigo Masaki knew better than anyone else about the level of human technology, he knew that the Max cannon was the best weapon for mankind in the short term.

However, he was not the only one who was able to design this weapon, whether it was the weapons expert and scientific expert of the Victory Team, Horii, or the designer of Max's power system, Yao, whether it was the designer of the Victory Flying Swallow system, Arimura, or other scientists from the Science Bureau.

Keigo Masaki clearly knew that these people could figure out how to weaponize the energy of the Max power system, but none of them did it themselves, none of them, even Horii chose to put the responsibility of doing it on his shoulders Keigo Masaki.

Humans must go to the universe, and the Atlantis will definitely become an important weapon for humans to go to the universe, this is a decision made by Keigo Masaki, but I think that he, the person who designed the weapon, and the person who made the installation decision, should not be him.

As he himself said, he knew that he could no longer return to the life of ordinary people, so he could not make such a decision himself.

The appearance of the Atlantis will affect the future of all mankind, which is the future of the entire human society composed of countless ordinary people.

You can make thousands of preparations, but the step that really affects ordinary people must be taken by human beings themselves.
