Knight Asylum

The rampant sale of Gaia memories, the wanton increase of ancient magicians in the Tower of Sages, the rampant and ever-growing mirror beasts, and Odin's actions with the goal of destroying the entire [S·L] are very likely.

These troublesome and terrifying things will coexist with humans as part of this timeline. In such a timeline, does humanity still have a future?

And in such despair, the only hope that could solve all problems at once appeared.

"The lost time train, Zeronos, has its own independent track, and most importantly... repairing the timeline through Zeronos does not require a singularity."

"What's the price?" Red looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

"..."

"You already know?" U said softly, "Hongshang Fund, right? I see."

"It's not a singularity, but the price of repairing the disrupted timeline is your own existence."

"It's far more desperate than being eroded by the mirror world. They never even existed. They can't even leave their own names behind."

"The only thing that can remember the person who used Zeronos is the singularity."

"..."

“Now there are no singularities.”

"Zero North, you're still there, right?" Reid turned and walked forward along the edge of the rooftop.

"Zero North is special," U replied.

"But you won't activate Zeronos, right? It's not because... you don't want to see anyone being eliminated because of Zeronos, but because you think that Kanzaki Shirou messed things up and eliminated the singularity just to let you activate Zeronos," Reid grinned, "But, I'll assume that you don't want to see anyone being eliminated again."

"Thanks--"

"I don't want to... activate Zeronos. Once I have the ability to change the past, everything will become unimportant. The current situation is bad, so I have to change the past. This is just an escape."

Reid let out a long breath.

“We have to face it.”

Inside the control tower, U held his chin and stared at the screen in front of him. The content displayed on the screen was none other than the lost train, the Zeronos, that he had been talking to Red about.

Just like Red said, he was unwilling to activate Zeronos not because he didn't want to see anyone being eliminated by Zeronos again, but simply because he felt that Shirou Kanzaki's goal was to make him activate Zeronos.

But Red got one thing wrong.

The Zero Nous is special. It doesn't mean that it can be started just because it wants to. Similarly, it doesn't mean that the Zero Nous will stay still just because it doesn't want to start.

There was only one reason why they were able to save the Zeronos.

There is no longer any alien demon in this world that can destroy the timeline.

if……

U narrowed his eyes slowly, raised his hand and waved, and a communication interface popped up.

"Embe, how is the research on the Transcendental Insect Meter going?"

"It's a bit troublesome, but considering the significance of this research, this trouble is within the normal range. Give me some time and I can complete it. Uh... Generally speaking, it will take about 20 years."

Originally, Enbei's voice was still very confident, but as he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller and finally he muttered softly.

"It only took 20 years for human technology to make it possible to travel through time. I think my name could be used as the name of a new science award."

"Twenty years? I thought it would take at least thirty years," U frowned in surprise.

"Ah... Ouroboros is very cooperative. We haven't retained any of the insect instrument technology, but we still lack a lot of information. If the people who developed the insect instrument come to help, we can surpass the insect instrument in ten years at the earliest. But it's impossible no matter how you think about it——"

Ember complained.

Although Ouroboros was always at odds with them, its leader, Riku Kagami, was quite nice to them. It was also Riku Kagami's unilateral decision to hand over the technology of the insect instrument to Sylvie Tulia. It was said that this also caused Riku Kagami's status in Ouroboros to plummet.

Others have already come this far, they can’t be too greedy.

"The people who developed the insect instrument...?" U pinched the bridge of his nose. "Embe, if the Zerg have a chance to occupy Selvi Turria, what do you think they will do?"

"what?"

Embe didn't know why U suddenly asked this, but remembering the incident of the Zerg infiltrating Selvi Tulia, he thought for a while and answered seriously.

"Use Sylvie Tullia's technology to achieve the goal of replacing humans."

As one of the many cosmic life forms invading the Earth, the Zerg are one of those whose actions are particularly easy to see through. They infiltrate human society through replication and replace humans bit by bit.

And now, the Zerg seem to believe that whoever controls [S·L] can control the entire world, and they want to break into [S·L] by setting up defenses.

"But that's impossible. The Zerg invasion by Gamego was an accident, and the infiltrating Zerg were dealt with. They didn't pass on much useful information."

After making the assumption, Enbei waved his hand and spoke in a very relaxed tone.

"However, it was indeed very dangerous at that time. Fortunately, you dealt with those guys in the Sage's Tower. Judging from the behavior of those guys, I'm afraid they would not take the Zerg invasion seriously."

"This timeline... is like this."

U corrected.

"What if... there is a timeline where the Sage's Tower succeeds and I am kicked down?"

Enbei was stunned, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the silent time train in front of him and the data from the Transcendence Insect Analyzer, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"No, no, no - let's take a step back! If there really is such a timeline, it is a timeline that no longer exists. In this timeline, it does not exist!"

U didn't say anything, just stared at the lost train on the screen.

A timeline that no longer exists does not mean an impossible timeline.

Let's make a bold assumption. What would happen if the Zerg infiltrated Sylvi Thuria in a timeline where the Zerg invasion was not resolved?

U's gaze fell through the screen on Ember and the time train behind Ember.

What they can do now, the Zerg can also do, and even... maybe faster.

However, Kanzaki Shirou's time reset will cover up this fact.

"The bug of time has sneaked in."

Looking at the western-style restaurant with a sign indicating that it was temporarily closed, Tendo Souji, who was still in Hyper Kabuto state, was silent for a moment, tapped the Transcendence Insect Device on his waist, and pushed open the western-style restaurant in the accelerated state.

Tendou Shuhua and Kusakabe Xu were both there. They seemed to be talking about something interesting and were laughing, but he could see that they were just forced smiles to cover up their fatigue and bitterness.

The current [S·L] makes them very uneasy.

Next to Kusakabe Xu stood a Hyper Kabuto, and his posture, as if he was reminiscing about something, made Tendou Souji feel a pain in his heart.

"Lost Train..."

Hyper Kabuto raised his head and looked at Tendo Souji.

"The lost train can make everything go back to twelve years ago, and make it seem like [S·L] had never appeared."

Chapter 439: How many years can you live?

In order not to affect the patients' rest, Zhinao Group chose to transfer Milk 偊Dipper's patients during the day.

In order to show its sincerity, Zhinao Group has taken great pains to show concern and care for every patient.

"Hey, hey, hey - why don't they come to greet me first! I am the most important person here, shouldn't they ensure my safety and escort me to the Brain Group first! "

Rosette, who lived in the super luxurious private room she had renovated, leaned against the window, looked downstairs and grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Qiao Kan, who was lying on the luxurious sofa watching TV, didn't even look at Rosette.

Ever since she knew that Reid had been staying in the Zhinao Group for a longer time, this willful young lady who had said that she had serious psychological trauma and needed to stay in the hospital for treatment began to shout that she was well again and wanted to stay in the Zhinao Group.

After discovering that the Intelligent Brain Group had begun to transfer patients here, Rosette seemed to have noticed something and began to request to transfer herself more frequently.

"Hey! Qiao! Don't ignore me!"

Seeing that Qiao didn't even respond, Rosette got angry and quickly walked between the TV and the sofa, put her hands on her hips and puffed up her face.

"Don't forget, you are sleeping on my sofa, watching my TV... and eating my snacks!"

"I'm not a cadre of Zhinao Group," Qiao raised his eyes.

"But you can call Red! Tell him I'm very scared now and I feel terrible!" Rosette bent down, reached into Qiao's pocket, took out the cell phone and handed it to Qiao.

"What are you afraid of?" Qiao yawned.

She naturally knew why the AI ​​Group suddenly transferred the patients in Milk Dipper, but the matter involved a lot of complicated things and might not be disclosed to irrelevant people like Rosette.

"It's safe here."

"Then why did the Zhinao Group transfer those patients!"

“It’s just a normal adjustment.”

Rosette's mouth twitched, and she paced back and forth four or five times before her eyes turned red. But before the tears came out, she waved her hand lazily, "You can cry as much as you want. Red can't see or hear you anyway."

The emotions that had been brewing with great difficulty were shattered in an instant. Rosette dropped her hands, and her rich expression gradually faded and turned cold and indifferent.

"It's going to be dangerous here, I have to get out of here."

Qiao narrowed his eyes slightly and finally moved his gaze away from the TV and fell on Rosette's face, then he sat up on the sofa.

"If you want to leave, you can leave now."

"No, I need Red's protection. There are a lot of dangerous guys staring at me. I can't do it right now," the shadow under Rosette's feet moved to one side, and the figure of Locust's Ophiino appeared beside Rosette.

"Eh? Really? What does it have to do with me? King of Ophiino," Qiao folded his arms across his chest and sneered, but Rosette's next words made Qiao's expression turn cold.

"How long can you...live? Two years, or one year?"

Rosette bent down, grabbed Qiao's wrist and lifted it up. Some dust and sand flowed down. Qiao's pupils shrank and she subconsciously wanted to pull her hand out, but Rosette pulled her back.

"I can help you. If you are not happy with having eternal life, I can also... pay you in installments," Rosette's mouth corners slightly raised.

"First, how about adding a year?"

Qiao turned his eyes away, shook off his hand, holding the phone, and walked out.

"Thank you~" Rosette smiled brilliantly. That smile was extremely vivid, yet lifeless, as if it was an expression carved by the most skilled puppeteer for an exquisite puppet.

"Humph--"

Qiao snorted coldly and slammed the door.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Zhinao Group, the progress of transferring patients was much faster than expected. On the second day, Milk Dipper's patients were almost all transferred. Some of Milk Dipper's doctors and nurses took a few days off, while others were transferred to the Zhinao Group to continue taking care of those patients.

During this period, perhaps because of the good attitude of the Intelligent Brain Group, there was no Odin attack.

In Red's eyes, this kind of calm is the calm before the storm.

"President - Milk Dipper's patients have basically been settled. The only ones left are... those students on the same floor as Kanzaki Yui."

Because Red had specifically mentioned it, Murakami Gorge remembered those students who had already made reservations for the resurrection surgery in advance.

"Want to borrow them?"

Reid hesitated for a moment and then exhaled, "I'll be responsible for transferring those students."

The reflections of those students' parents in the mirrors have turned into Odin. Diverting them might irritate those Odins, and Orphion is no match for Odin.

"I understand." As a qualified subordinate, Murakami Kyoer knew when to be considerate and when there was no need to flatter.

"By the way, how is Rosette?"

Red pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a little painful.

Rosette, the King of Orphinoth... definitely cannot be left alone with Milk Dipper, but putting this King of Orphinoth in the Intelligent Brain Group, he always has a bad feeling that he has let a wolf among the sheep.

Moreover, just based on Rosette's personality...

"Ms. Rosette... is very uneasy about the accommodation we arranged for her, and she asked to move to your office, President," Murakami Kyoji said with a subtle expression.

The king is Ophino's hope, and logically he would unconditionally meet all of Rosette's requests.

But his intuition told him that if he did that, it would cause a lot of trouble for Red, so he politely refused. Of course, he would not tell anyone about Rose's crying, making a fuss, and threatening to commit suicide in front of him. It was his honor to work for Red.

"But Miss Rosette knows where your office is, and she might come to look for you," Murakami Kyoji reminded after hesitating for a moment, "President, you can...work remotely during this period."

"……Thanks."

Red imagined Rosette barging in and pestering him at any time, and his scalp suddenly went numb. He immediately thanked her.

Murakami Gorge, who was still struggling with whether to be loyal to the king or Red, suddenly felt a chill, his eyes became much clearer, and he bent down towards the departing Red.

All the king could do was to fill the defects of Orphiono.

Judging from Rosette's current performance, it is simply a fantasy to rely on Rosette to make Orpheino rise.

After leaving the Zhinao Group building, Red immediately went to Milk Dipper. Because there were still students who were unconscious due to the experimental accident and had not been transferred, the Zhinao Group's medical vehicle for transporting patients was still there.
