In the end, he chose to compromise.

He didn't want to lose Carl's friend, the materials for making the gold disc could be found on the way back, the universe is so big, there will always be some ultra-high-strength energy materials.

And the key to the Ascension's project is himself, as long as he can return to Shurima, he will have a chance to achieve it.

Kiran looked at the necklace in his hand, and at the end of the necklace was a coin-sized golden disc carved with delicate and beautiful gold lines, roughly the same as the Shurima script he remembered.

Kiran put the gold disc in his hand and checked it, not feeling the weight, he looked at Azir again: "The inside of this device has been repaired, are you just missing a suitable source of energy?" ”

Azir helped the unconscious Karl, his face was not good, he didn't want to answer any questions from Kieran.

He said, "Now can I go back to Shurima?" ”

Kiran asked again, "Just go back empty-handed?" After so many years of hard work, it really doesn't feel like anything? ”

"Are you mocking me?"

"How bold are you?" Kieran didn't answer the question, and threw the necklace back with his backhand.

Azir took the necklace, shocked and suspicious, he became more and more confused about what Kiran was up to.

"I don't know what you mean." Azir hesitated.

Kieran said, "The activation of that device must require a very pure energy source, right?" The reason why your research can't be completed is because this important step is missing. ”

Although he knew his fame, Azir was still taken aback, he didn't expect Kiran to see through the essence of the Ascendant at a glance, it was not injected like a super gene, but was infused into the body through a powerful external energy, so as to directly modify its own genetic structure and obtain a body similar to the beast body.

This method does not directly introduce the power of the gods into the human body like in the previous life, and in this technology-based universe, Azir can only hope that he can find a high-purity energy source that can rival the gods.

Kiran pointed to the sky, "Have you ever considered stellar energy?" ”

Azir said: "I thought about it, but I didn't have a device that absorbs stellar energy, even the devices in Kamigawa are mostly environmentally friendly, the energy used in it is not up to standard, and the ordinary sunlight is too scattered to concentrate, so I gave up." ”

Kieran shook his head: "You don't understand what I mean, I mean, you can go directly to the outer periphery of the solar atmosphere to absorb energy, maybe you can succeed, but do you dare?" How bold are you? ”

Perhaps this is the first and only time Azir has seen Kieran smile.

A few hours later, in the principal's office, the roar of Kogu almost made the entire building tremble:

"What did you do? What did you do? My great hero, did you get your head kicked in the head by Azir's stubborn donkey? You actually sent him to the sun, do you want to eat roast donkey meat?! ”

Kiran didn't look worried, he leisurely sipped the tea: "I'm following your wishes, can't you see that it is impossible for Azir to join Kamigawa?" Then he can only be given another way, and the scientist dies on the road to pursue his ideals, which is actually a beautiful talk. ”

He looked at Jiagu with a smile and said with a relaxed expression: "In this case, no matter how much rumors are rumored by the outside world, the reputation of the academy will not be damaged, and Azir will also be regarded as a respectable scientist, willing to sacrifice in order to verify his theory, many such people in our history have been recorded in history." ”

"Because the academy has taught such serious students, your reputation will increase, your status will also rise, and maybe you will return to the top of Kamigawa again."

Jiagu slapped the table and pointed at Kiran's nose: "He's our student, won't your conscience hurt if you do this?" ”

Kiran didn't shy away from looking at him and spread his hands: "I said it, this is doing what you want." ”

Jiagu was speechless, as a soldier, he would always put the interests of his civilization first, and he would not let go of any threat, even if there was only a 1 in 1,000 chance that this threat could sprout, he would strangle it in the cradle.

That's his mentality towards Azir.

But when Jiagu really learned that Azir was likely to be burned to ashes, the deepest softness in his heart was touched, and then turned into a rage, but this anger had nowhere to vent.

Because Kiran was right, this was indeed the result he wanted, if he didn't join Kamigawa, then let him die.

Kagu leaned back in his chair weakly, but he still said, "Maybe our approach is too extreme...... It's too early, I sent a letter to the higher-ups that they should decide this matter, but we are making our own decisions......"

"The fact that you submitted their report a few months ago and now has not responded shows that they don't care, so we can do whatever we want," Kieran said. ”

"yes, maybe that's the case...... A bunch of stupid pigs who occupy the pit and don't shit! ”

"Hmm...... Please be civil, Headmaster. ”

Jiagu leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, the clock on the wall "clicked" and walked, and the sound of the hands advancing was particularly loud when both of them were silent.

Jiagu opened his eyes again, his eyes had become as cold as a knife: "Have you really seen his ascension device?" Can absorb the energy of the star. ”

Kieran nodded.

"So he has a chance to succeed, right?"

Kieran still nodded.

After Jiagu stood up, he walked out of the office without looking back, and before leaving, he activated all the security robots of the academy, these giant machines that are more than ten meters tall are usually activated when students go out to practice, and they can easily crush the bones of beasts that threaten students' lives.

Now, Kogu is going to use them to take the life of the best student of the year.

Kiran stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, outside which a huge silver-gray spaceship broke through the sky, followed by dozens of huge machines, which accelerated wildly in the direction of the sun.

After the cyborg led by Kogu disappeared into the sky, Kiran contacted an official at Kamigawa's top level: "...... Yes, I'm Kieran, and I have something I want to report to you, it's very urgent, and it is related to the life of one of our students here......"

……

Thousands of stars are born every second in the universe, they burn the hottest fire and light in the cold and dark universe, each with a lifespan of billions of years or more, they are witnesses to the history of the universe, older than gods.

In the Tatooine system, where Kamigawa Academy is located, the sun is almost four billion years old, and Kamigawa scientists estimate that it still has eight billion years to go.

So it's kind of a young lad.

If the sun gives life warmth, it must be due to distance.

Too close, and it's the Grim Reaper.

Even in a thick isolation suit, Azir could feel the young man's enthusiasm, and the sweat barely covered his eyes.

The star's gravitational pull is so great that even if Azir is a full Tatooine diameter away from its atmosphere, he must rely on the ship's counterforce to drag himself to avoid being sucked in.

Kieran's ship is accelerating in the opposite direction of the sun, and Azir is very bold enough to connect himself to the ship with a special rope to resist the sun's gravitational pull.

Even with his head raised to ninety degrees, Azir could not see the edge of the sun, and every wave on the surface of this star was enough to turn Tatooine upside down, and the boundless flames replaced the originally dark universe, and the light energy spread uncontrollably throughout the galaxy.

Azir felt at this moment that no matter how magnificent the civilization of Kamigawa was, it could not be compared to this magnificence, and he had gone from an emperor to the most devout believer in the stars, smaller than the sand of Shurima.

The gold disc was removed from the necklace, and Azir slowly opened his fingers, and the disc floated silently towards the sun.

The inside of the mask was covered with mist, and Azir's breathing grew heavier and heavier, but the shimmering and determined light in his golden pupils was no worse than the sun.

In the blurred vision, the golden disc gradually moved away, but its form grew larger and larger, the lines on it burned with flames, and the silent cosmic space actually resounded with a song of praise.

Azir didn't want to wait any longer, twenty years is a flick of a finger for the people of Kamigawa, but for the people of Shurima, it is a tenth of the life.

He looked straight at the sun, the heart of the Tatooine galaxy that burned everything near it, the flames wrapped around the pillars of light and converged on the golden disk, and Azir looked at the light that gradually drowned everything, and he suddenly felt more calm than ever, either die silently and turn to ashes, or live as hard as he could, brilliant as light.

Between life and death, there is immortality.
