Knight Asylum

As for the rest, Red hadn't thought of it for the time being.

But these two points alone are enough to be fatal.

He must face the former. The Helheim Forest has eroded human civilization, and the golden fruit is bound to come. If it weren't for the emergence of the Desire Grand Prix, the golden fruit would have already come.

He could not give up the latter.

The battle with Mello made him realize his powerlessness at the moment. [Infinity] was his biggest trump card, and no one could guarantee whether the doomed destruction was caused by the fact that he had no intention of using this sword until his death.

"Ha - forget it, I don't want to think about it -"

Red let out a breath and stretched lazily towards the sun.

The future will not mercifully give way just because he is timid.

Instead of worrying about the destruction that you don’t know when it will happen or what will cause it, it is better to think carefully about the problem at hand.

For example, how to win the competition with Tendou Souji!

After much deliberation, Red decided to resort to despicable means.

It’s not that Red has no confidence in his own taste, it’s just that... he is too confident in Tendo Souji’s taste.

After awakening, Tendo Souji was invincible, and Red didn't feel any chance of winning, so Red rushed to the copy shop and printed out the photo of Tendo Souji picking his nose.

Of course, the opponent is Tendo Souji, and despicable means will only ensure Tendo Souji's victory, so Red is not trying to win.

"You... you don't think that even if you lose, you can't let Tiandao win completely, right?"

A voice came from behind Reid.

Red, who was holding the photo of Tendo Souji picking his nose and laughing, suddenly shuddered and turned his head stiffly to look over.

There, Mari Sonoda was standing with her hands on her hips and rolling her eyes. After seeing the photo in Reid's hand, Mari Sonoda's eyes almost rolled up to her upper eyelids.

"Hey! What are you talking about? I just... uh-well, yes, it's just what you thought!"

Red wanted to argue, but after thinking it over, he realized that he had been caught anyway and there was no need to hide, so he simply put his hands on his hips and admitted it in a very firm manner.

"Hey, you guys, are you serious?"

"So, Truth, how did you know I was going to do this?" Reid shook the photo in his hand.

"Of course the victim anticipated your plot and asked for help," Sonoda Mari reached out to snatch the photo from Red's hand, but Red dodged it easily.

Seeing that Red was still stubborn, Sonoda Mari spoke loudly in annoyance.

"If you don't want Shuhua to know that you are planning to kill each other, then choose a watch carefully and prepare for your defeat."

"Are these the original words of Tiandao?" Reid glanced at the photo in his hand, his face full of confusion.

"No, I added it."

"…Don't worry about that," Reid grinned.

"So, I will talk to Shuhua," Sonoda Mari took out her mobile phone expressionlessly and pointed at the avatar of Tendō Shuhua on the screen.

"Truth, you are so bad. You still owe me a huge debt."

"Stop nagging! Please don't ruin your image in Shuhua's eyes," Sonoda Mari snatched the photo from Reid's hand.

This time, Red had no intention of dodging and let Mari Sonoda snatch the photo.

"It's just a watch, it's hard to say who will win or lose!"

Seeing Red turn around in time, Sonoda Mari nodded with satisfaction, grabbed Red's wrist, and pulled Red forward.

"Actually, I've already inquired about Shuhua's hobbies. We may not lose, so——"

"Why did you become the Daughter of Origin?"

Mari Sonoda's pupils shrank, and she turned her head very slowly to meet Reid's eyes.

"Why did you become the Daughter of Origin?" Reid repeated again.

The originally bustling street suddenly became quiet and deserted, and Sonoda Mari's hair gradually turned white.

"It will be your future. It's approaching, so you want to stop it."

Chapter 186: Tips from Sagara, the battle resumes

Daughter of Origin, a projection from the future.

According to Sagara and Sengoku Ryoma, there is only one reason why the Daughter of Origin would interfere with the timeline of the past, and that is to find a way to make her own future a reality.

This is a normal thought.

The person who eats the golden fruit will become the origin of civilization and a perfect god, and the Daughter of Origin will be the one who accompanies the perfect god.

How could anyone give up such an identity?

But the moment Sonoda Mari took Red's hand, Red knew why this version of Sonoda Mari, the Daughter of Origin, came.

"In the end what happened?"

Mari Sonoda, who had been very eloquent just now, immediately shook her head, and her whole body began to become blurry.

"Can't you tell me?" Reid sighed helplessly, pulled Mari Sonoda into his arms and hugged her tightly.

"Thanks for the hard work. It'll be fine."

Mari Sonoda's eyes widened slightly and tears slowly flowed down her cheeks.

[Please——don’t be like that——]

Before Sonoda Mari could finish her words, she disappeared like a phantom.

"It was just a little bit short. You don't have to feel sorry because there's no way she could tell it," Sagara put his hands in his pockets and walked out from the side of the telephone pole.

"She has no way of denying her own future."

"That means once she tells me, I can avoid that future, right?" Reid touched his shirt on his chest and glanced at Sagara. "What future is that?"

"I don't know. The most I can do is to find out through the Daughter of Origin who they chose to eat the golden fruit. I don't know what the future will be like. The purpose of Helheim Forest from beginning to end is only one, and that is to allow civilization to evolve." Sagara smiled, "Don't look at me like that. Helheim Forest is just a cosmic phenomenon. It's meaningless for you to be angry about a phenomenon."

"But phenomena don't speak for themselves," Red said with an unpleasant sound.

"I'm sorry," Sagara spread his hands, "but Phenomenon is about to give you a piece of advice now?"

"What advice? If you don't accept the golden fruit, the world will be destroyed?" Red raised his eyes, "Sorry, the world was almost wiped out."

"No - you have never been the one who took the initiative to eat the golden fruit. No matter what the future holds, you will never take the initiative to eat the golden fruit. But why is it that in the end, it is always you who eats the golden fruit?"

Sagara smiled.

"There is only one answer. At that time, there was really no choice but for you to eat the golden fruit."

"You will [do your best to save the world]."

Red's expression gradually became serious. "Will the world be saved because of this?"

"Who knows - at least, the world will not be destroyed by Helheim Forest. I said before, I don't know what the future will be like," Sagara smiled and stepped back, "but I can tell you what is happening now."

"The golden fruit is just a result. Before that, the races will eliminate each other."

Red's face turned pale, "Hey - what do you mean by this!?"

"After discovering that I have a choice other than waiting to be eliminated, what will I do next? What else can I do?"

After saying this, Sagara simply disappeared.

The noisy world came again, and along with it came the rapid ringing of cell phones.

Red took out his cell phone and saw that the caller was U. He couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh.

"Uh, what happened?"

"Some of the undead beasts have regained their immortality. If you have time, you can come to our headquarters to take a look."

U's voice was as flat as ever, without any ups and downs, so Red could be sure that this was not an April Fool's joke.

Plus Sagara's tip.

"What the hell."

Red hung up the phone without thinking about waiting for time. After sending a text message to Tendou Souji, Red immediately set off for Selvi Tulia.

Since the destruction of Great Shocker, Servi Turria's ranking as a well-known terrorist organization in the [S·L] has risen a lot. Coupled with the United Nations government's relentless smearing, the road to Servi Turria is almost deserted.

The citizens of [S·L] are very tough, but they are not tough enough to hang out and take pictures in front of the terrorist organization, so Red arrived at the headquarters of Servier Turia without any obstruction.

As soon as he entered the headquarters, Reid went straight to Servier Turria's underground containment area. U, Seryuu, and several researchers were staring at the holographic image with frowns, as if they had encountered some century-old problem.

"what happened?"

"Red, long time no see - let me see if you've healed here?"

As soon as she saw Red, Selyu, who had just been acting like a cold and inquisitive queen, immediately had her eyes light up, and her hands reached towards Red's waist in a very unruly manner.

"No matter how many times you touch it, it's useless. Once it's gone, it's gone," Reid raised his hand helplessly and slapped Seleu's right hand away.

"You should probably give up now."

"Why should I give up? Aguru hasn't disappeared." Seleu rolled his eyes and poked Red's belly with his finger. "Research shows that spirit stones are spirit stones and Aguru is Aguru. The two cannot be confused."

"Research?" Red's eyes jumped. "You really haven't given up yet."

“Nonsense! How could I give up? It’s not that you can’t do it, but the Spiritual Stone. As long as the function of the Aguru Belt can be restored, a stronger Kuuga will definitely appear!! Hehehe——”

Although he didn't know what kind of picture Selyu imagined, seeing Selyu drooling, Reid knew that he had to stay away from this woman.

"So? What's the matter with the undead beast?" Reid slapped his forehead.

U didn't say anything, but raised his hand and pointed at the display screen in front of him. On the screen, a lizard-like undead beast was pounding on the door like a wild beast, with no rationality at all.

"This is Spade 2, the lowest-ranking undead beast. It has no so-called rationality and is a pure beast. In the Extreme War, it was driven by the higher-ranking undead beasts and used as cannon fodder," the researcher on the other side introduced. "This is the first undead beast we captured. At that time, it attacked a monster and was almost killed by that monster."

"Almost beaten to death?"

"Yes, he was nearly beaten to death. We tried to save his life for several hours," U let out a long breath, "but just now, he regained his [immortality], all his injuries healed, and he started to jump around again, wanting to fight to the extreme."

"Mingming, you don't have your belt on anymore."

Chapter 187: Masks will lose their meaning

U then showed Red the extent to which the undead beast of Spade 2 had regained its immortality.

Shooting, shelling, beam cutting.

As the lowest level undead beast without even a self, Spade 2 was not afraid of death or pain, and had no ability to resist, so it was killed quite easily. However, no matter how it was killed, Spade 2 would always stand up in the end and continue to smash doors.

"The 2 of Spades is not an isolated case. In the worst case scenario, all the undead beasts regain their immortality," U said, with his hands behind his back.

Red held his chin up, stared at the 2 of Spades for a while, and raised his eyebrows slightly. "It's just that he can't be killed. It shouldn't be a big deal."

Red still remembers the description of the 2 of Spades by the researchers.

When Spade 2 was found, it was almost beaten to death by the monster.

There are only about fifty undead beasts in total, and their strengths vary. There are probably only a few strong ones, and even if they are strong, they are probably not that strong.

To be honest, this doesn't really have much impact on [S·L].

"Besides, I have already smashed the Genesis Stele," Red shrugged, "Even if they want to create their own race by winning the Ultimate War, they can't do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Red noticed that the people present gave him subtle looks, which made Red very puzzled.

"Did I say anything weird?"

"Golden Fruit," U reminded Red when he saw that he was not aware of it.

"…Oh, shit."

Reid's eye twitched violently.

Now he somewhat understood why Sagara came out to remind him.

Of course, it was painful, but when Red thought about it carefully, it didn't seem that serious.

"There are only about fifty undead beasts in total. They are not of the same species. They only fight for themselves. There are only fifty more people who desire the golden fruit."

"If we knew the effect of the golden fruit, the thing that this world lacks the most is..."

As he spoke, cold sweat broke out on Red's forehead.

"【competitor】."

Sagara never said that the competitor for the Golden Fruit was an undead beast.
