Faced with the final invitation of Alice, Tianzai pondered for a moment and flatly refused. He left the extremely glamorous stage of Millennium Institute of Technology and returned to the stage where no one noticed him.

During the less than a week of getting along, the natural disaster discovered that it was actually not the same kind of person as the girl. Tendo Alice still had friends, a meaning in life, and a reason to fight.

But it had nothing, so when the girl who had shown kindness to it encountered a confusing problem that she couldn't solve, it also wanted to repay her with kindness, putting an end to this short period of time together.

“Sizzle…”

The sharp black blade of the Black Storm Sword drew a semicircle under the feet of the natural disaster, and sparks flashed and flew everywhere.

Its crimson scarf fluttered in the wind. It stood straight with its chin raised high, looking down at Wang Jian, the piranha Megiddo, and the golem Megiddo through its nose, and said in an extremely gentle tone:

"Humph, do you have some explicit rules here that forbid me from wandering around? What's more, you guys played games without even calling me, how boring is that~"

Tianzai's eyes swept across the streets of the Millennium Science and Technology Academy that had turned into ruins. Finally, his gaze fixed on Wang Jian's tall and straight body. He kept knocking the ground with the black tip of the Black Mist Sword in his hand, and an excited smile appeared on his ferocious face.

"..." KEY's dark red eyes filled with death moved horizontally, glancing towards the dark figure standing one step in front of him on the right. He frowned slightly and vigilantly gripped the wand in his left hand.

"Scourge...what are you doing here?"

"What are you doing? I just happened to be passing by. It just so happens that I have some conflicts with the Dark Swordsman over there that need to be resolved. Don't bother with my side of things."

Tianzai snorted and curled his lips, raised the black sword of Hei Lan that was stuck in the ground in his right hand to his shoulder, pressed his body downward and instantly turned into a gust of wind and disappeared on the spot, and rushed towards the King Sword behind the Piranha Megiddo as if flying close to the ground.

"Disaster, invasion!!!"

Along with a crazy laugh, the gust of wind that blew past the piranha Megiddo was stained with blood red and dark purple. In just a moment, the natural disaster rushed to Wang Jian and swung the black sword in his hand.

Everything it did was seen by the dark purple figure covered in a silver-white cage. Facing the oncoming natural disaster, Wang Jian did not have time to react and stepped back to stabilize his body. He raised the dark sword Yue An in his hand and used the golden sword body to block in front of him.

The two sharp sword blades crossed each other, splashing countless sparks. Under the mutual support of inertia and gravity, the figures of Natural Disaster and Wang Jian drew a parabola in the air and fell heavily into the ruins beside them.

Their interlaced and flashing figures were also obscured by the dust, leaving only the occasional flicker of fire to prove that they once existed here.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Boom boom boom!!!"

"..." The piranha Megiddo looked at the smoke and dust rising in the sky beside him. After a moment of silence, he sighed silently, looked in the direction of KEI again, and pursed his lips.

"In that case, let's leave the natural disaster to the Dark Swordsman. What are you going to do next? Judging by the condition of the Fantasy Drive Book fused within you, you should be completely integrated with the book in about half an hour."

"By that time, you will be assimilated into the same existence as us."

"For you monsters who attempted to attack the princess... there is absolutely no forgiveness!"

An angry growl echoed in the sky above the A-2b of the Millennium Institute of Technology. A dark red light continuously flowed on KEI's body wrapped in leather soft armor. She and the piranha Megiddo slowly flew up from the ground and floated towards the dark school of piranhas that covered the sky above their heads.

Only the magic wand Megiddo below was left. He raised his head and looked at their figures, with two small black dots flashing in his eyes.

The golem Megiddo stood there in a daze on the empty ground. He turned his head to look at the empty surroundings and asked loudly at the top of his voice:

"Hey, I don't have the skill to fly! What should I do!?"

After waiting for a few moments, the nonchalant voice of the piranha Megiddo gently fell into the ears of the golem Megiddo.

"...You can do whatever you want. Aren't there those human-made creations on the ground? I'll leave them to you."

"Tsk, really, why should I be responsible for destroying those junk?"

The golem Megiddo complained dissatisfiedly, but still summoned countless stone statues of Megiddo to fight against the machines made by the Millennium Technology Academy and the strange soldiers Shimi controlled by the eyeball-shaped robots.

As for the battle in the sky, since it could not intervene, it could only temporarily hand it over to the piranha Megiddo.

"...Hehe, it seems that you don't take me seriously."

"You are right, that is indeed the case."

KEY did not deny what it said, but stared at the piranha Megiddo floating in the sky opposite it with its dark red eyes, pondering secretly in its heart.

Regarding the combat mode of the Piranha Megiddo in front of us, according to the combat images collected by the Millennium Institute of Technology in the Abydos area, it has three main attack methods.

Use large schools of piranhas to attack enemies, fly freely in the sky, and use sharp claws and teeth to fight enemies in close combat.

In just a moment, KEI planned a battle plan with the Piranha Megiddo in her mind. If she were to explain it using the game's strategy, without the protection of Alice Tendo as a warrior, she was just a wizard who could control mechanical creations.

Although she can use the wand in her hand and the dark red cloak behind her to block the attacks from all around when she encounters close-range attacks, this is not a long-term solution. In the best case, it is better to keep a distance and fight the Piranha Megiddo from a distance.

As countless flames rose behind her, more guard machines and tanks inside the Millennium Institute of Technology pointed their guns towards the sky and fired the shells that had been brewing in their barrels for a long time under KEI's orders.

The shells with dark blue flames flashing at the tail turned into a dense rain curtain that streaked across the sky above the Millennium Institute of Technology, scattering the school of piranhas hovering above the Millennium Institute of Technology, revealing the blue sky behind the dense school of fish.

However, this bright color was covered by the piranhas in the blink of an eye, and the surrounding environment turned dark again.

"Hahaha, I've really been underestimated. In that case, let's start a battle based on instinct!"

The piranha Megiddo put his left hand behind his back and put his right hand in front of the fish's lips and smiled softly.

But the next second, it lost its reserved and politeness like the piranhas around it. Its apple-sized mouth split horizontally from its cheek, and its pale yellow fangs protruded from the inside of its mouth.

He wears a special style of white inner armor and a piranha-style outer armor. The arm armor is bright green and bright red fins, and the shoulder armor above his left shoulder is also a fish tail of the same color.

A fantasy-driven book of Megiddo's features emerged from its left chest, and a jagged, bone-like blade grew from its right hand.

However, at this moment, the piranha Megiddo was amplified by the Dark Sword Yue'an, and the light was flowing all over its body with dark purple light. The light was tempering its body like a whetstone, and the bright green and bright red light attached to the surface of its body was shining brighter in this dark world.

“…Kachakakakakakakakaka!!!”

The crisp sound of piranhas biting their teeth quickly echoed around KEY. KEY held a nearly one-meter-long magic wand in her left hand and looked at the surrounding piranhas vigilantly with her dark red eyes. At this moment, the various machines below slightly adjusted their firing angles according to her movements.

Such sounds were like the gunshots before a race. Wrapped in these chaotic sounds, its arms were tightly fitted to its body and swung rapidly. It completed the gathering of several hundred meters in just three seconds, forcing itself in front of KEY and swinging its claws like the Grim Reaper's scythe.

“Bang!… Crash! ...

KEY, who had been waiting for a long time, pulled the cloak covered with traces of smoke and burns from behind her to cover herself. The moment the piranha Megiddo's claws, which could easily cut through reinforced concrete, touched the fluffy cloak in front of her, a dark red force directly bounced it away.

At the same time, its figure quickly retreated, and countless bright white lights flashed continuously in the Millennium Science and Technology College below, and the sounds of explosions one after another reached her ears.

Countless missiles and artillery shells hit the location where she and the piranha Megiddo were just now. However, based on the speed it had just traveled, it should be able to easily avoid such attacks.

KEY quickly retreated to keep a distance from the Piranha Megiddo, and looked back at the white lights that were lit in the distance behind him.

The schools of piranhas roaming inside the Millennium Institute of Technology were very excited when they saw the various moving machines, and they opened their sharp mouths and kept biting.

However, the energy returned after swallowing is completely disproportionate to the energy consumed by biting. In the end, those piranhas will symbolically avoid the fast-moving machines in the Millennium Institute of Technology.

Only a small number of piranhas, under the command of Piranha Megiddo, reluctantly intercepted the drones that were about to take off like moths to a flame.

Feeling the images sent back by the patrol robot in his mind, KEY's dark red eyes shook slightly, and he fought the final battle based on the remaining cards in his hand.

All the creations left behind by the nameless gods of ancient times no longer exist, and KEY can only mobilize the security robots, drones and tanks stored within the Millennium Science and Technology Academy.

If the Millennium Institute of Technology had not been dragged into the fantasy world by the Fantasy Drive Book, she could have mobilized the machines of the nameless gods hidden in various academies in Kivotos to fight back. Perhaps this battle would have been much easier for KEI.

She raised her hand and lightly touched the unfolded pages of the book on her chest, feeling the energy it transmitted into her body. She used her own power wantonly to fight for the remaining time for the girl in the distance.

KEY's figure fell, and at the same time, countless white spots of light lit up behind her, fighting back against the piranha Megiddo that was chasing her.

“…Crash!!!”

A dark red meteor streaked across the sky above the Millennium Institute of Technology, leaving behind a long tail. The school of piranhas covering the sky overhead blinked their mouths rapidly, making crisp and noisy sounds.

Millennium Science Academy: Chapter 219: Heroism Part 12: Individual Choices

The moment the soft light film touched the ground, the dark red film protecting the girl's body turned into firefly-like light particles and dissipated with the wind, sinking into the dust raised by the wind.

The frenzied piranhas and the strange soldiers Shimi roared and waved their weapons, attacking everything around them that they considered an enemy.

The windbreaker covering Tendo Alice's petite body fluttered wildly. She slumped to the ground, her hands planted on the ground, struggling to stand up from the rubble filled with metal fragments and reinforced concrete.

The azure eyes had long lost their former liveliness. The dilapidated flower of technology in front of them was reflected in the lifeless gaze. He wanted to reach out his hand to rely on her.

The memories till now flashed through her mind like a slideshow. Her right hand, which she had raised to seek help from her companions, stopped in mid-air and finally fell down helplessly.

Alice Tendo, who is always surrounded by people, now embarks on a journey alone.

She took a step forward. This was the first time she had directly seen what she had caused since KEY blocked her consciousness.

The streets and familiar buildings where we used to play and laugh have now become a part of our memories, and only the peaceful daily life remains before our eyes.

"...As expected, Alice is the Demon King."

Whenever a scene that was once so familiar passed by Tendo Alice, her petite body would tremble like a newborn baby, and her hands hanging in front of her would be clenched into fists, and anxiety and guilt would surge in her heart.

She clutched the hanging hem tightly, her dry and cracked lips slightly opened, and bean-sized tears squeezed out from the corners of her eyes again.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Alice, I didn't mean for anyone to get hurt..."

"Whether it's Midori, Yuzu, Nero-senpai, or anyone else... I don't want to hurt anyone."

"... Xiaotao was injured because of Alice. Alice's chest hurts a lot."

Accompanied by sad and painful mumblings, the girl stopped walking forward, and unknowingly came to a place full of countless beautiful memories for her.

The giant tower standing in the center of the Millennium Institute of Technology was now cut in half, with dense teeth marks engraved on the broken reinforced concrete surface.

The piranhas swimming in the air became extremely violent like hungry wolves the moment they noticed the girl, desperately swinging their tail fins behind them and opening their teeth that were strong enough to tear steel apart.

However, when they approached Alice Tendo, a smell similar to those unpalatable objects entered the piranhas' nostrils.

The next second, the dense swarm of piranhas scattered and turned to look for other prey.

"If Alice hadn't met everyone and been found by Sensei, Momo wouldn't have been hurt... and everyone wouldn't have encountered such a sad thing."

The scene of being quietly taken back to the Millennium Institute of Technology by Xia Lai Sensei and the game development department that day seemed to be right in front of him. The light flowing in the azure eyes was like beads with broken strings, passing across his young face.

"If... Alice hadn't come to Millennium Institute of Technology..."

Tendo Alice raised her arms and wiped away the tears, but no matter how hard she wiped, the scene before her seemed to be covered by an invisible veil.

The golden light hidden in the girl's body was like the stars in the night sky, slowly being covered by the gathering dark clouds, and could no longer emit its own dazzling light.

"...If Alice wasn't a hero..."

The scene that the azure eyes were looking at gradually lost focus, and the scene that Tendo Alice saw through her blurred vision became clearer and clearer. The world she imagined in her mind was a false world where she was not found by Xia Lai Sensei and had passed by the members of the game development department.

In this steel forest that is brightly lit as usual, countless students chat and laugh as they go about their daily lives, no different from yesterday.

The false world and reality are intertwined, and the increasingly bright colors of the false world cover up all the sadness and pain in the real world, burying them all under the ink of fantasy.

"...Hmm, is that the end? This is a terrible situation."

Yuri, wearing a hemp yellow robe, stood on the roof of a ruined building in the distance, looking down at the Millennium Institute of Technology below, which had turned into two shadows.

He crossed his arms in front of his chest, gently rubbed the stubble on his chin with his right thumb and index finger, and curled his lips thoughtfully.

"I never thought that this would happen when the unfinished fantasy-driven book was cut into two parts by the Holy Sword of Darkness."

"It's just that they seem to have some strange misunderstanding about the fantasy-driven book 'Hero or Demon King?'"

"This blank fantasy-driven book, born from the fusion of the girl's inhuman body, can, in a sense, be considered a miracle of chance."

"The power it possesses does not determine whether the person who is given the power will become a hero or a demon king, but rather it allows the user to become whoever they want with their own strength according to their wishes."

"Books can only provide help when necessary." Looking at the illusory scene under his feet, Yuri raised his eyebrows with regret and looked at the girl standing in front of the giant tower.

"...If we do that, even the demon king in the story won't be able to do it."

The helpless murmur disappeared with the wind. Although Yuri was very interested in Alice Tendo and felt very sympathetic towards her situation, this was her trial.

Only by surpassing yourself can you truly become a brave person.

At the same time, in the underground corridor behind the Millennium Tower, a dark figure staggered forward relying on the faint light emitted from the decorations on both sides of him.

Drops of blood flowed from the wound that had scabbed over and torn open again, and continued to flow as she moved forward.

“…It’s almost here.”

Diao Yue Liyin didn't know how long she had been walking in this dark and narrow passage. The journey that usually took less than five minutes was now infinitely magnified, becoming a marathon in which she was racing against time while spitting blood.

After walking a hundred steps forward, she came to a tightly closed door, took out the certificate of president of the Millennium Institute of Technology Seminar from her pocket, and rushed in without waiting for the sliding door to open.

Looking at the huge screen in front of her, Diao Yue Liyin stood still with her half-closed eyes blinking slowly for a few seconds, and her body swayed repeatedly unconsciously.

In a trance, she gently closed her slightly open lips and bit the tip of her tongue hard.

The smell of rust instantly filled Tiao Yue Liyin's mouth. Although the pain was not obvious to her with scars all over her body, this brief moment of clarity was enough for her to complete the next action.

Diao Yue Liyin took two quick steps to the desk and slumped down in the chair, leaning against the backrest. She forced herself to stay awake and looked at the screen in front of her with her bright red eyes.

Due to the adrenaline, the girl's body was still in a very excited state. She raised her trembling hands and stopped them on the keyboard. She took a deep breath and sighed slowly, carefully entering the coordinates of the falling nuclear weapon to complete the final work.

The slow knocking sound echoed in the dark room, and the computer screen emitting a soft white light reflected Diao Yue Liyin's face covered with blood scabs.

As the last character fell into the input field, the adrenaline injected into her body not long ago was now almost gone. Her breathing was extremely rapid, and the complications of drug overdose quickly appeared. The eyelids covering her rosy eyes felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

After confirming again that the relative coordinates of the launch site and the crash site were correct, Diao Yue Liyin pressed the Enter key, then looked at the red button in the white acrylic cover on the right. The screen, which was originally flashing dark blue light, suddenly lit up and flashed bright red, indicating an early warning.

After waiting for a few seconds, the bright red warning line blocking the center of the screen quickly disappeared, and she pressed the launch button without hesitation.
