A journey into an infinite dimension

"How's it going there?"

"Well, let's go."

Jiaye nodded, then walked in the opposite direction of the young man's pointing.

"Uh......"

The young man opened his eyes and looked in the direction he was pointing. His expression suddenly became embarrassed and he immediately followed Jia Ye's footsteps.

If I remember correctly, that seemed to be the direction Jia Ye was walking towards.

At the same time as the two began to move, on the other side of the city, the place where Jia Ye first descended and created the commotion.

"...Captain, that..."

Hiras Oshanna pointed forward tremblingly, her teeth chattering, and her beautiful blue eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost while walking at night.

“…Ah, I see.”

However, the performance of the other two members of her team was not much different from hers.

The intellectual girl whom she called the captain, Luna Slanka swallowed hard, nodded solemnly, then raised her arm and operated on the armored arm armor to film the scene in front of them. She uploaded it to the system of the headquarters and handed it to others for analysis.

What came into their eyes at this moment was a huge fan-shaped area that was inconsistent with the surrounding ruins. It was so blank and clean that there was not even a slightly protruding stone.

This scene was extremely bizarre, as there were other building ruins on the edge of the fan-shaped area. Although some of them seemed to have been partially cut off, the parts that had not been cut off stood intact in their original places, as if someone had carefully measured all the factors before creating this huge 'street art work'.

Although the size of this "work of art" is measured in kilometers, it does not seem like something that ordinary humans can create.

"Need to keep going?"

Holding a sickle half the size of a man and keeping a vigilant eye on everything around her, the third member of the team, the petite Herasil Van, asked Luna for her opinion.

"...Continue on. Our superiors have assigned us the task of investigating whether any Emperor-level Honkai beasts were born during this destruction, and their abilities. This scene before us may have completed half of our mission, but the other half remains to be completed."

After hesitating for a while, Luna gave the order with a serious expression.

Anyone who saw this scene would clearly understand that the existence that caused this scene was definitely not something they could defeat. Luna herself also knew this, but the mission required it, so they had no choice but to move on.

Humans and Honkai beasts are destined to exist on only one side, so fighting is bound to happen. Therefore, even if they know they will die, they must at least provide the organization with some intelligence about the other side to reduce casualties in subsequent attacks.

"Continue to move forward along the trail. If you encounter any Honkai beasts or assassins along the way, quickly deal with them to avoid causing too much noise."

Two daggers appeared in her hands, and Luna said to the two of them seriously.

"understand!"

"Yes!"

Shiras and Helasil nodded firmly.

boom! !

However, just as they were about to move on, a deafening roar suddenly came from the distance, accompanied by dark clouds torn apart in the sky and a terrifying tornado rising into the sky.

"Let's go there!"

Although she was extremely frightened by this natural disaster, Luna hesitated for a while and then resolutely ordered to move forward.

......

......

At the headquarters of Destiny, a piece of data transmitted back by the advance team sent to Berlin was presented to the desk of Otto Apokalis, the leader of Destiny, after being analyzed.

"this is......"

Putting down the untouched glass of red wine in his hand, Otto frowned and flipped through the information in his hand. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he quickly opened the computer on the table to look for something.

“So it really exists…?”

After comparing the information on the computer with the intelligence in his hands several times, Otto looked deeply at the red wine glass at hand, as if he had finally confirmed something.

"Black Abyss, White Flower... Life and Death... Herrscher..."

Dong——Dong——

A gentle knock on the door interrupted Otto's thoughts. He was not angry, but just signaled the visitor to come in.

"Lord Otto, the Night Moth Squad has delivered another piece of intelligence."

"Well, let's go down."

Otto took the information and opened it again.

Perhaps because the intelligence this time was too shocking, the Intelligence Department did not analyze it in detail, but directly sent the original intelligence to Otto. Therefore, after opening the intelligence, Otto did not see much analysis, but only an enlarged image.

His eyes changed drastically, and Otto stood up suddenly, not caring about the top-grade red wine that he had spilled. He just stared at the tornado in the image that seemed to want to tear the world in two, and the human-shaped black spot in the center of the tornado that could only be barely seen as a shadow after being magnified countless times.

Chapter 50 The Meaning of Sacrifice

"Sure enough, there are people here. This kind of noise will definitely attract you here."

He landed lightly on the ground, letting the giant bow in his hand split into a chain and a lance and then dissipate. In the young man's gradually numb and accustomed eyes, he ignored the huge Honkai beast that was torn into pieces by the strong wind and fell to the ground with a bang. Jia Ye recalled what he had just seen in the sky and whispered to himself.

"I say, are you really human?"

Looking at the poor Honkai beast that had just appeared and had not done anything before being swept into the air by Jia Ye to be destroyed, the young man felt that the look he gave Jia Ye was exactly the same as the look an ordinary person would give when they saw this Honkai beast.

They all look at monsters.

"That depends on your definition of human."

After putting the shrunken Unsealed Master back into his pocket, Jia Ye opened his eyes and just shrugged slightly in response to the young man's question.

"Those who can't do anything are human, the soldiers who protect them are human, the politicians who control them are human. So, of course, those who possess great power are not human."

"I don't think the military and politicians can defeat this monster."

The young man couldn't help but complain.

Although he didn't know what soldiers and politicians were, he just had the urge to complain like this.

"The term 'monster' doesn't refer to a single species, but rather to the most exceptional beings within each race, the most feared and rejected by both their own kind and outsiders."

Jiaye smiled.

"So monster is a compliment."

"I believed your evil."

The young man said he didn't believe it, but he believed that the boy in front of him was one of the monsters he mentioned.

"Okay, someone should be here soon. Before that, you should think carefully about what you're going to do next."

Jia Ye didn't care about the young man's reaction, but just turned and said.

"What do you mean?"

The young man was a little unresponsive for a moment.

"Based on the current situation, you are probably the only survivor of this disaster, and those who are coming are outsiders. Think about it, being able to survive a disaster of this magnitude unscathed, and also possessing such a power that defies common sense, wouldn't this be of great research value?"

Hearing this, the young man's face immediately turned green.

This seems to make sense. Does he have to be dragged to the test bench for sliced ​​slices and research after going around in circles?

Although I don't know what it feels like to be sliced ​​and studied, the literal meaning sounds extremely bloody and terrifying.

He absolutely doesn't want this kind of future!

"How about we kill all those outsiders?"

Holding on to some of the values ​​he had unconsciously learned from Jia Ye, the young man's eyes turned cold in an instant.

Jia Ye was very satisfied with the young man's eyes. It was worth it that he had been vaguely instilling in him various concepts that a normal person should have along the way.

Jia Ye could see that this guy was very likely the type of person who was born to sacrifice himself for others. Although this kind of personality was not bad, it also depended on who he was sacrificing for.

If it is for someone close, then there is naturally no problem, because Jiaye also has this kind of personality, but if it is for a stranger, then it will be a big problem.

This is not a question of whether you are selfish or not, but whether you have considered the feelings of those around you.

Just imagine, if you voluntarily sacrifice yourself to save a city, how would those you love and those who love you feel?

Pride, pride, self-blame, heartache, sadness, pain————

If so, is your sacrifice truly meaningful?

Yes, you saved countless lives, earning countless gratitude and memories. But what about those who loved you? What about their feelings and future? Will they leave this world with you, or live in pain forever? Or will they forget you and move on to a better tomorrow?

If it's the first two, then what's the point of your sacrifice? What right do you have to love them and be loved by them? If it's the third, can you really forget it? If you forget it, then is your sacrifice truly meaningful?

Jia Ye didn't like this kind of personality. Originally, he had no interest in meddling in other people's affairs, but since this amnesiac guy gave him a good impression, he didn't mind planting a seed in his heart on his own initiative.

Although time constraints will prevent him from developing the same personality as himself, it is enough for him to prioritize himself and those around him when faced with choices, avoiding the subconscious thought that "if I can sacrifice myself for salvation, there is no need to consider other methods."

"You can hide for a while, but not forever. Unless you can fully control your power and make others afraid of you and dare not attack you, even if you kill these people, it will only attract more people, and then you will still be sliced ​​into pieces."

However, although he was satisfied with his changes, Jia Ye still shook his head at his proposal.

Even if you have the right mindset, you still need the strength to match it.

"Then I'm doomed?"

Hearing this, the young man's face suddenly turned bitter.

He also knew his own strengths and weaknesses. Although the ability to create things out of thin air seemed powerful, without sufficient knowledge, was he expected to fight with only a syringe?

Perhaps if he slightly modified the knowledge about the syringe, like changing the material to steel or something, he could still fight, but that would be really embarrassing, and he doesn't have any fighting skills...

"That's not right. As long as I don't tell you and you don't tell anyone, no one will know that I'm a survivor, right?"

The young man suddenly realized why he had to consider the situation based on the premise that he was a survivor of the disaster. If he didn't survive the disaster, wouldn't the above scenario have happened?

"That's a good understanding, but it's only temporary."

Jia Ye nodded in appreciation, but before the young man could show any joy, he shook his head again.

"As long as you exist, you'll definitely leave traces. Sooner or later, you'll be discovered to have been here before. There's no record of you leaving before the disaster. Furthermore, with your power, if you're exposed, you'll be hunted down."

"Besides, don't you want to get your past back?"

With every word Jia Ye spoke, the young man's expression became visibly more depressed. In the end, he looked no different from a salted fish that had given up treatment.

"Of course I do, but I'm about to be sliced ​​into pieces, so how can I have the time to try to get back to the past..."

Feeling that the road ahead was dark, the young man couldn't help but hold his head and howl to the sky.

"Ahhhhhhhhh, really, what should I do?!"

Looking thoughtfully at the desperate young man, Jia Ye thought for a moment and suddenly spoke.

"In that case, do you want to make a deal?"

To the young man, Jiaye's voice was like the sound of nature, and even more like a straw that a drowning person grasped.

"Can you help me?!"

"I can give you the power to save yourself, but only if you give me one twentieth of your time and do me a favor."

Jia Ye nodded, and those seductive words were like the whisper of a devil, gradually leading the young man into an abyss of no return.

However, the young man is now on the edge of the abyss. There are two paths before him: one is the abyss that is visible to the naked eye and bottomless; the other is a future shrouded in fog and unknown. At the same time, he has no way out.

Then, he had only one choice to make at this moment.

"Let me ask in advance, the time you mentioned is probably not what I thought, right?"

However, before making up his mind, the young man felt that he needed to understand in detail what he had paid for.

"If you're thinking about time spent doing things for me, then it's not."

Shaking his head and then nodding, Jiaye smiled with a rather evil smile.

"If you're thinking about life expectancy, that's exactly right."

"You really are a devil, aren't you?!"

"Don't worry. I can see you have a lot of time. Using only one twentieth of your total time won't have any impact on you. Besides, using only one twentieth of your time in exchange for a lifetime of freedom, isn't that a big loss?"

Under Jia Ye's patient guidance, the young man, who was already moved, became even more shaken.

"...So, what is it that you want me to do?"

Taking a sip of water, the young man made a final confirmation to Jia Ye.
