I'll kill you after I finish this game!
Page 1178
At this moment, Skadi sat alone on the moon, hugging her legs like a child looking at the stars, gazing at Earth.
In the desolate and lifeless place of the moon, Skadi's existence is like adding a unique and beautiful scene to the place.
Although there is no Chang'e on the moon, seeing such a beautiful girl here makes the trip absolutely worthwhile.
"Brother, you've come to see me..."
Skadi, who had been gazing at Earth, slowly turned her head to look at Oga.
"Mio, you......."
When Oga's gaze met his hesitant eyes, Oga's expression froze slightly, and his body stiffened involuntarily as he took a step back.
What should have been a heartwarming reunion between siblings was shattered into dust by Skadi's 'gaze'.
What kind of look was that?
Although it was a crystal blue unlike her younger brother Amu's, the burning thing in her eyes at this moment seemed to be a kind of chaos that 'transcended' human understanding.
His crystal-blue eyes were filled with calm, a calmness bordering on deathly stillness, and the emotions within them were as unwavering and steadfast as agate.
It was a gaze that seemed to belong to an old person, or like the unchanging gaze of a Buddha statue, as if frozen in a state of impending death.
This is the first impression anyone gets when they see Skadi's eyes at this moment.
Skadi's gaze remained unchanged as to Oga's reaction and retreat, as if she didn't care much about a stranger.
Faced with Oga's silence, Skadi spoke again.
"When Lan Daotianwu died, he must have told my brother about me, right?"
"...Um."
Suppressing all his agitated emotions with force, Oga felt heartbroken at the change in his sister, and even wanted to punch himself for stepping back.
The thing Lan Daotianwu told him on his deathbed was the biggest reason he returned to the Lanmeng organization.
Skadi is inextricably linked to the entire Earth, and realizing the Blue Dream is also for 'her' good.
"Although I really don't want to discourage you, everything you've done is in vain. Humans are just humans after all. Even if you have a magnetic field power like a god, you can't do it now."
Skadi had no intention of commenting on Oga's dedication to family, as that was simply his nature, but she would still tell Oga what needed to be said:
"Even if I could realize my Blue Dream, it wouldn't help me at all, not even a little bit."
"why?"
Upon hearing this, Oga clenched his fists, his tone revealing considerable resentment and disbelief.
If achieving the Blue Dream doesn't yield the expected results, wouldn't everything we've done so far be in vain?
"Because the truly impossible was impossible from the start. Brother, are you trying to 'save' me, or are you trying to 'save' the whole world?"
"........"
Olga was speechless, but his feelings had already told Skadi that he wanted to achieve both.
Skadi gave Oga a meaningful look, her words carrying a deeper meaning, and said to him:
"Trying to save myself while simultaneously achieving the Blue Dream—such a win-win situation isn't so easy. If you want to save the world, you can do it now: just kill me."
"!!!"
Oga's eyes sharpened at that moment, his heart filled with shock and disbelief at Skadi's words.
So he stared straight at Skadi, his eyes seeming to ask why.
Why must saving the world require his sister to die?! What kind of utter nonsense is that?!
"Brother, I can be considered the entire Earth, but as far as humanity and even all living beings are concerned, Lan Daotianwu should not have given me life, made me give birth to consciousness, and given me the consciousness of the seven emotions and six desires."
Skadi lowered her head, a bright smile on her face, and a magnetic force emanated from her slightly raised hands.
At this moment, a small Earth, about the size of a globe, appeared in her palm.
But don't assume this is just a model Skadi casually made, because it's small but complete.
Although the Earth floating in Skadi's palm is tiny, it has everything that can be found on Earth.
Even tiny lives are born and reproduce within it.
Oga, with his super vision as a magnetic field expert, could clearly see all kinds of life forms other than humans floating on the Earth in Skadi's palm.
Although he didn't speak, the shock in his eyes betrayed Oga, revealing his inner turmoil.
Just then, Skadi, holding the miniature planet in her hands, looked at her masterpiece and chuckled as she continued:
"Having gained consciousness, I understood what life is, and freedom is also very precious to life. When I gained consciousness, I wanted to break free from shackles and constraints, and to live more freely."
"........!!"
After listening to his sister's meaningful words, Oga remained silent for a long time before he roughly understood, which is why he felt even more horrified and shocked.
At that moment, Oga turned his head to look at the real Earth, that beautiful blue planet, with a look of horror and disbelief in his eyes.
Based on Skadi's earlier statement that killing her would save the world, Oga had already guessed what terrible and horrific situation was in.
"That's right, I will hatch like a fledgling bird~~~~"
As Skadi's amused voice rang out, a cracking sound, chilling Oga to the bone, emanated from the Earth suspended in her palm.
At this moment, the planet in Skadi's palm was trembling violently, and dense cracks began to spread rapidly along with scalding magma.
Finally, when the planet's azure and forest green turned into fiery red and charred black, it suddenly burst open.
The fragments of the exploding planet, now influenced by the magnetic field of Skadi, slowly transformed into strange butterflies interwoven with snow silver and crystal blue.
A life form capable of surviving in the vacuum of space, an environment devoid of oxygen.
As Oga looked at Skadi, surrounded by countless beautiful butterflies fluttering around her on the desolate lunar surface, an overwhelming chill welled up inside him.
Wanting to save the world and wanting to save Skadi are completely different things, and Skadi directly made the relationship between the two clear to Oga.
If the goal is to save the world, or rather, to save countless lives on Earth, then the best course of action is to eliminate Skadi.
Earth will eventually disappear, and it will evolve again from a celestial body into a free asteroid with consciousness and life.
Oga finally understood the true meaning of the global earthquake that happened a few years ago, and the words Skadi left behind, "It's for your own good."
If I'm not mistaken, Skadi could have hatched a few years ago, but she stopped that process from continuing.
Therefore, Oga now faces only two painful and difficult-to-choose paths.
Skadi simply told him the answer.
Brother, do you want to save me? Then give up all life on Earth for me; this is the price I pay for this life.
If you want to save the world, end my life now and go fulfill that so-called 'blue' dream to save countless lives.
"Come here, big brother..."
Skadi slowly stood up, a bright and beautiful smile on her face, and came to Oga, whose face was dark.
Like a spoiled younger sister, she grabbed his right hand and forced him to clench his fingers into a fist, whispering the most vicious words to Oga:
"Now your hand is like the hand of God, controlling the future of all life in the world. Ending one person's life can save all the lives in the world. Your Whale Killing Fist can do that now."
One person's death saves the lives of countless others.
The pain of losing my younger sister is mine alone.
This is such a damn great choice!
.........
So, what will Oga choose?
I don't know, I'm not sure, I don't understand.
Because he didn't give Skadi any answer, Oga, whose heart was filled with a splitting pain and turmoil, couldn't give any answer at all.
The fist was never thrown; there was no courage to throw it, and even if there were, there would be no way to throw it!
Ignoring that horrible choice, Oga picked up Skadi without a word, intending to take her back to Earth.
He could no longer leave his sister alone on the desolate, empty moon. Skadi's previous gaze had made Oga feel disgusted and repulsed.
Rather than describing it as a lifeless gaze, Oga thought it was more like the gaze of someone facing death or waiting to die.
Skadi, who was curled up in Oga's arms, laughed out loud with a smile on her face. It was a laugh that Oga did not understand and found jarring for the first time.
There was no joy, no happiness, and no laughter that could make Oga understand or read his emotions, which made him extremely disliked.
Afterwards, Oga brought Skadi back to the Blue Dream organization.
Lanmeng was very surprised to learn that Skadi had been brought back by Oga. She felt no joy at the return of her younger sister, because Skadi was someone she absolutely could not understand or control, unlike Oga.
The ugly man, however, was overjoyed to see Skadi again; his happiness was indescribable.
The ugly man knew long ago that he had fallen for her, but he couldn't express his feelings because he knew he wasn't good enough for the person he admired.
More importantly, he couldn't understand Skadi. An invisible barrier separated Skadi from everyone, and the Ugly Man could feel this.
When Skadi left, Oga and Hitomi were heartbroken, but Ugly Man was even more so.
He sensed that from now on, the distance between him and Skadi would only grow further and further, turning them from estranged individuals into people from two completely different worlds.
Yes, two worlds.
From Skadi, whom Oga has brought back, the Ugly Man can clearly feel that the barrier has become like a city wall, turning the distance between him and his beloved into an unreachable level.
Even though Skadi could address him with a friendly smile as "Brother First Man," that awful feeling was still so clear.
Then, more than ten days later, good news reached the unhappy Oga.
Haihu brought Xiaotong to New York and brazenly approached the World Trade Center, seemingly intending to personally bring Xiaotong back.
In Lanmeng's office, on the top floor of the center, Lanmeng, Oga, and even Skadi were already waiting there.
The expensive computers and equipment that Haihu destroyed that day have been completely lost, replaced by a huge fish tank containing a giant shark. At this moment, Lanmeng is enjoying the view of the vicious fish in the tank all by herself.
"Xiaotong, have you been alright all this time? Did Haihu hurt you?"
As Xiaotong and Haihu entered the room, Lanmeng, with her back to them, looked at the powerful and beautiful tiger shark in the aquarium and said to Xiaotong without turning her head:
"Today is a good day. My sister, who had been away from home for a long time, was brought back by my older brother a few days ago. Today, Haihu has brought back another sister of mine."
"Second brother... ah, sister!?"
