However, Mebius took over the conversation without any concern and unveiled the last fig leaf to her.

"Yes, in the 10 years that Helheim gradually covers the Earth, we will gradually reduce the total human population to one seventh of the current level."

As Mobius told her story, countless inhumane human disasters kept flashing through Honoka Kousaka's mind. The imagined scene of corpses everywhere made her almost nauseous.

"With the biological technology of the World Tree that far exceeds that of the outside world, all of this will be carried out without anyone noticing. Combined with the invasion of Helheim, no one will discover the truth. And you..."

Mobius' smile was as gentle as a spring breeze, but in the eyes of Kousaka Honoka, it was just the devil's grin.

"Don't worry, after all, you are all great contributors who helped us complete this Ark. There will definitely be a place for you on this ship heading to the new era~"]

829: Guardian and Sacrifice (5k)

"Yes, in the 10 years that Helheim gradually covers the Earth, we will gradually reduce the total human population to one seventh of the current population."

Mebius's seemingly gentle comfort could not bring any positive effect to Kousaka Honoka. In her eyes, the green-haired beauty in front of her had turned into a monster in human skin, and what she said made her spine chill.

Originally, if the World Tree Foundation had left the remaining 60 billion people to die without helping them as she had imagined, she would still feel despair about the future, but her reaction might not have been so drastic.

After all, the World Tree Foundation is also trying to save people. A population of 10 billion is already an astronomical number for a former ordinary female high school student like Kousaka Honoka, and there is nothing she can do about it because she is unable to do so.

But the truth that Mobius told her, and her perfunctory attitude towards the loss of life, made Kousaka Honoka realize that

The person in front of me never thought about saving humanity. Killing 60 billion lives was as light as a feather to her and not worth mentioning. Her indifference was really like a poisonous snake that only paid attention to things that interested it.

The "ticket to the future" she later proposed to Honoka Kousaka was just a way to ensure that she would be a guinea pig in the future. 】

Devil Jinniku Rin: What? Someone wants to save us at the cost of sacrifice? Go and ask Ritsuka to come!

White Rabbit: Our invincible keyboard sword is not at all disadvantageous!

EMT: Killing 60 billion people? That's a bit too much...

Jackal: Haha, didn't I say that this is the most reasonable solution? One billion people can still survive, which is a good result compared to a previous plan in our world.

Kojima Bakugo: You’d better forget it.

Kira: The premise is that this is really the best solution. Not only did Mebius conceal the matter of the Overlord from the top leader Toyokawa Shoko, but from the previous plot, it can be seen that she is not at all interested in the so-called Ark Project. The 10 billion units should be just a perfunctory statement she made to the World Tree. In fact, she just wanted to get out as soon as possible to study the things she is interested in.

Paramecium: As expected, Mebius, you have done all kinds of bad things!

Customer service Xiaoxiang: 9494, I think they will team up with Sid to trick me later! Too bad!

Demon Cluster: If you ask me, it’s just that Mobius’s skills are not good enough. If it were me, I would have saved you all long ago!

Kujo Tengu: Everyone is going to play "Stranger Chronicles", right?

Devil Bomber: I missed you, old shrimp!

[“How can you say such things so calmly?!”

Her anger ignited, Kousaka Honoka took a step forward and tried to grab Mebius' collar, but another hand wrapped in pink armor stopped her first.

A strong wind blew in front of her, and Kousaka Honoka subconsciously retreated to avoid Nishikino Maki's high kick. When she was about to raise the bow to counterattack, the latter's voice reached her ears.

"Have you lost track of priorities? If you don't stop these foreigners here, the things you want to protect will be completely destroyed in the next moment!"

"!?"

Awakened by this delicate cry, Kousaka Honoka remembered that she was now on a battlefield and the offensive of the aliens was still continuing.

Gritting her teeth unwillingly, Kousaka Honoka could only angrily restart the acceleration and pull the battle back from the disadvantage that had been delayed due to her conversation with Mobius.

"Just live for others like before, Honoka..."

As Nishikino Maki looked at Kousaka Honoka like this, the scene of the four boys and girls playing together near the sacred tree in the past flashed by. She pursed her lips slightly, and then silently joined the battle.

……

Thanks to the efforts of Kousaka Honoka, Nishikino Maki, and a large group of mass-produced black shadows, the battle lasted for a long time, almost from morning to nearly dusk.

In the end, the goddess of fate favored Zeya City. Under Mobius's somewhat unexpected gaze, the huge crack behind him actually closed successfully when the battle line was about to collapse. The aliens who lost their target had no reason to continue fighting, and they scattered in a blink of an eye.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Shoko Toyokawa who was keeping a close eye on the cracks in the World Tree Tower.

Even this girl who was in a high position had her back wet with nervous sweat. It was obvious that she was the executor who almost destroyed the entire Zeya City, but now she was slumped in the chair like a survivor, looking with lingering fear at the start button of the Sgla system in front of her, which had already opened the last safety device.

After a long silence, she sighed deeply, reached out to close the safety cover again, and meticulously completed the complicated task of relocking it.

Sid, who was standing by, felt it was a little ridiculous when he saw her like this.

"At this point, are you still afraid of burning down a mere city?"

"It's always difficult to take the first step..."

At the moment, Shoko Toyokawa was not in the mood to argue with Sid. All the previous piles of work added together seemed so insignificant compared to her experience today, and she felt physically and mentally exhausted.

However, thinking of what she was carrying, Toyokawa Shoko's eyes regained seriousness in a few breaths, and the aura of a director began to emerge from her.

"But if the time really comes to take action, I won't hesitate at all."

As she spoke, she looked at the surveillance video of the front battlefield again and forced a rare smile on her face.

She was actually somewhat grateful to Honoka Kousaka who was standing side by side with Maki Nishikino. If she hadn't joined the battle, they might not have been able to hold on this time.

Unfortunately, the smile disappeared from her face in the next second.

I saw that Kousaka Honoka took advantage of the moment when Nishikino Maki relaxed her vigilance after the contact transformation and snatched the peach energy lock seed from her driver.

"So much for the cooperation!"

In response to Nishikino Maki, who showed her facial expressions due to shock, Kousaka Honoka shouted righteously and started running out.

The cherry energy lock's acceleration ability was fully activated, and it disappeared from everyone's sight in a flash.

Although Mebius was surprised, she soon regained her playful smile on her face. She looked in the direction where Kousaka Honoka left, which was the location of the World Tree Great Rift base.

Meanwhile, inside the World Tree Tower, Toyokawa Shoko, who also witnessed the direction the other party left, saw her expression, which had just relaxed, darken again.

Seeing her expression, Sid couldn't help but whistle.

"Oh my~ I didn't expect that the time to take action would come so soon. Do you need me to help you, Director..."

But as soon as he said this, Sid suddenly felt a piercing gaze turned towards him, and the words he hadn't finished yet were stuck in his throat.

"..."

Shoko Toyokawa looked at him coldly, and finally walked towards the laboratory where the big crack was without saying anything.

Sid froze in place for more than 10 seconds. Only when the sound of Toyokawa Shoko's footsteps faded away did he breathe a sigh of relief.

But in addition to being frightened, his eyes became increasingly cold.

——Damn it, just wait and see, I am the final winner! 】

Wind Pillar: Gaim, my favorite Kamen Rider (sure).

Barrus: No, man. Why is it that when other characters try to play dirty tricks, I get so angry, but when it comes to you, I can't help but want to laugh?

Insect Pillar: Seeing Sid still act like such a clown, I feel relieved.

Ji Guanqiang: Woc, stealing the child!

Thief Cat Navigator: What quick hands! This little girl has a bright future.

Bank Robbery Ditty: Well, I suddenly had a bold idea.

Working Crazy Cat: Put away your bold ideas.

Infinite Snake: Fortunately, Kousaka Honoka already has a lemon lock seed, otherwise I really suspect that she would rush over and kick me down, and then snatch my lemon lock seed as well.

Hai Ye: I have no objection.

Sessile Bird: Who asked you?

[With the help of Jinwa Sakura, Kousaka Honoka once again came to the inside of the World Tree Tower.

Before she could find the control room of the Sgla system and smash it completely, Toyokawa Shoko blocked her way in the corridor.

With the Genesis Driver on her waist, Toyokawa Shoko's face was as cold as the north wind. Even though Kousaka Honoka was still in her transformed state, her hair stood on end instinctively because of the fierce fighting spirit, as if she was locked by a peerless ferocious beast.

"What are you doing here?"

Toyokawa Shoko's voice was equally cold, but in the face of such pressure, Kousaka Honoka, who had already made up her mind, still spoke under such tremendous pressure.

"I'm going to destroy that thing called the Sgra System!"

When she heard the word "Sgla System" from Honoka Kousaka, Shoko Toyokawa's expression suddenly became a little unnatural. Although she could see the situation on the front line through the video, it was obviously impossible to communicate with each individual in such a hurry and chaos.

——Did someone let the cat out of the bag during the battle?

Hiding her unhappiness deep in her heart, Toyokawa Shoko remained calm on the surface.

"I should have said it before. The World Tree is the last hope of mankind, and secrecy is the fire that keeps this hope going. As long as you continue to cooperate with us like you did today, the Sgla System will not be activated..."

"I heard everything from Mebius!"

Kousaka Honoka interrupted the other party.

"The Ark Project is such a crazy thing!"

"Dr. Mebius..."

Toyokawa Shoko's frown deepened.

"Really? It's unnecessary."

"I will never admit what you did!"

"I didn't need anyone's recognition from the beginning!"

Faced with Honoka Kousaka's accusations, Shoko Toyokawa did not waver in the slightest.

Her heart had long been as hard as steel. From the moment she knew of Helheim's existence, from the moment she understood the mission of the Toyokawa family, from the moment she cut off her father's sins, the weak Toyokawa Shoko had already died!
