Volume 673: Return to the Underworld, the Day the World is Saved: Chapter : Klaus's Decision
Dang~
Dang~
A melodious bell sounded from afar. It was the same sound as the bell sound that remained in the hearts of the Holy Grails of Heaven. It was like the greeting that family members had repeated thousands of times when they walked into their home, which made the wanderer who had been wandering outside for many days burst into tears...
Then the next moment, the tears in his eyes were forced back.
What I saw after I opened the door was not a familiar and warm room, but a desolate scene with spider webs all over, cracked walls and floor tiles, and dust piled higher than a person. The so-called familiar greetings from my family came from a tape recorder that was struggling to run on the shoe cabinet at the entrance...
This is probably the most realistic portrayal of the scene we see before our eyes.
The endless green grassland turned into a desolate earth ball, the blue sky and the sun were covered by a layer of yellow curtain, and the city seen after crossing the earth mound had long since become a ruin buried in the yellow sand.
Even the lush tree that the Holy Grails loved to rely on was now only left with bare branches. When they picked up a dead branch, they found that it had been dead for many years.
"It's really... a disgusting sight."
The man in black armor and with a slicked-back black hair threw away the dead branch. A trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes. He walked towards the church where the bells rang, facing the whistling yellow sand.
"You are there... old man..."
......
This is a natural situation.
The so-called "paradise" is actually a large ecosystem originally built on the orbital elevator. It is equipped with conventional climate simulators, small artificial suns, purification equipment and food makers. It provides employees living in the low-orbit station with a place to relax and an environment that is infinitely close to the original surface environment.
However, after the Zohar was mistakenly activated, causing 99% of life on Earth to be "transferred", naturally no one on the orbital station would maintain this space anymore, and no one would use this space anymore. After thousands or even tens of thousands of years, all that was left was a piece of yellow earth, plus buildings that had long since lost traces of human habitation, which were gradually worn away by the wind and waves caused by the ventilation system... In the end, it looked like this.
The soul and reason (extinction) have preserved some information about the former orbital elevator because they were once directly connected to the Zohar, which led to this misunderstanding.
Watching the changes inside and outside the World Tree the whole time, and noticing that a figure was gradually approaching the area where he was, the old man with a haggard face lowered his head and moved his gaze from the screen to the figure in front of him.
"λογο? (reason) is coming."
"——————"
The figure, who was not unfamiliar to the old man - Klaus, shook his head from side to side, making a strange sound.
It should be some kind of language. Klaus didn't know exactly, but he could understand the other party's meaning to a certain extent. He closed his eyes slightly and sighed:
"I don't plan to do anything unnecessary, and I won't reveal to them the information outside the Netherworld, the changes in the gate, or your existence... Is that enough?"
The figure's head shook up and down, and then the figure gradually faded and finally disappeared.
Ten days ago, the other party and the group of Tianshen Primary School suddenly came to this world. The difference was that the Holy Grail of Heaven where the soul was located appeared in Gula, while the other party appeared directly in front of him, and forcibly controlled Zohar, eroding Zohar with a power that he could not understand, and then disappeared.
The visitor from another world who was attracted by the power of the Zohar because of him, who was suspected to be the principal of Tenjin Elementary School - this was Klaus's understanding of the other party's identity.
At this moment, as if to prevent Klaus from leaking his actions, the other party appeared in front of him again and warned him. After receiving Klaus's assurance, the mannequin made of golden colloid left again... or disappeared, waiting for Klaus to say something wrong, and then wiped him out with its power that could even corrode the gate.
He was not afraid of death. Rather, his life had already entered a countdown, and he knew this himself. However... he wanted to know what this 'Principal' was going to do for this world in which he finally had some hope again.
The boy who retuned himself to the Holy Grail, and Rex who helped the Holy Grail master the power of the Gate.
Saki, a visitor from another world who has achieved an unprecedented, perfect re-tuning with the cannibal girl, serves as the acting principal.
Even Klaus, whose heart had long been dead, could not ignore the new possibilities presented by these two groups of people. It was not until he saw the brilliance of the two sides' competition in the Liberaritas Islands from a God's perspective that he suddenly realized it.
It is true that he is the creator of this world, the Netherworld, the Blades, and Arus, but he is not a true god after all, and he does not have the right to foresee and judge everything.
However, from a certain point in time, he ignored the essence of the problem, and mixed the 'scientific research spirit' that should have been abandoned long ago with the God's perspective of creating the world with a wave of his hand. He arbitrarily became disappointed with the people of the underworld and allowed McPennie to destroy them... just like before.
At the beginning, he was the same, believing that the struggle of mankind would be fruitless and that only the gate could end the war. He ignored the advice and insisted on his own way, and in the end... destroyed mankind.
As a result, thousands of years later, we almost went back to the old path... It turns out that the only lesson mankind has learned from history is not to learn from it.
And he is just an ordinary human being, how can he call himself a god...
Admit it, the humans in the netherworld are no longer children who need him, their "father", to judge whether they are right or wrong. They have grown up and are brand new humans born on this new earth, with new possibilities that are no less than, or even surpass, the possibilities of humans in the old era. As the remnants of the old era, what he needs to do is to lie down in the coffin with all the things of the old era.
Just as Sadahiko said, the story of the old times has ended, and the world belongs to the people living now and in the future.
In self-mockery, Klaus fiddled with it casually, opening the door leading to this place for Mie, and sat quietly in the center of the platform, waiting for his arrival.
It was a pity, because his mistake had attracted the existence of the principal of Tianshen Elementary School, and he was unable to dig out the other party's purpose with his own strength. If the other party's purpose was just to gate, it would be fine. But if the goal involved the entire Netherworld...
...At least, let him make one last contribution to this world and to the children who are about to leave the nest.
Klaus thought as he looked at the black-haired man who walked down the stairs and in front of him.
"Hey, long time no see..."
The man waved his hand with a cynical smile and casually said hello:
"Or rather, it's our first meeting, father."
Volume 674: Return to the Netherworld, the Day to Save the World: Chapter Chapter Tonight, the Fight to the Death.jpg
The first low-orbit station, like the satellites flying around in the near-ground orbit in the old days, is about 200 kilometers above the ground, in a 2,000-kilometer airspace. In principle, this is still the range of the earth, and although the atmosphere is very thin, it is not completely absent.
Theoretically, a normal space station would never be built at this altitude, but with an orbital elevator and an orbital ring surrounding the entire planet, everything is a different story.
No idea how such a huge thing was built and maintained in a low-Earth orbit. Unlike Gundam 00, which is still trying to stick to hard science fiction as much as possible, the technological development in the alien world interfered with by the special factor of Zohar is real soft science fiction - it is completely twisted and cannot be thought of in a conventional way.
At the moment, a group of people are standing on the observation deck of the low-orbit station, overlooking the white planet below through the window that looks like high-strength glass under their feet.
"It's really a ball..."
Irena looked down at the white sphere surrounded by clouds and mist and sighed with contentment.
I am satisfied, really satisfied. I thought that the World Tree was just an unsightly place filled with mechanical creations, but I didn't expect to see such a magnificent view - standing in the universe and overlooking the planet where I live. I could never have imagined such a thing in my dreams.
It was the piece of glass under her feet that made her a little worried. With more than 40 people standing on it, would it really not collapse?
With such worries, Irena sat on the broom the whole time and refused to get off, just in case. She still had the wand in her hand, so if any student slipped and broke the floor, she could use a "time travel" to go back.
Compared to her, the other students were marveling at something else.
"Wow! It's really all white...Ah! I saw Gula!"
"How on earth is such a large column supported? And the orbital ring, anti-gravity system? Or electromagnetic force? It's really unscientific."
Saki: “…”
He didn't want to say anything. In his opinion, apart from Zohar and Shin, the rest of the things in the Nether Realm could barely be called scientific, but it was unscientific for Astra to be able to travel at a curvature of 20,000 times the speed of light by just picking up a civilian spaceship.
Compared to this man who was complaining nonchalantly, another group of modern people were also gathered against the glass. One of them looked quite mature on weekdays, with yellowish hair, like a young form of an unknown star. His eyes were dazed, and he was holding Gabumon next to him tightly, causing the other party to look up at him.
"Ahe?"
"Gabumon... Later, let's go to the universe of our world and take a look together!"
"Okay~ No matter where Ah He goes, I will be with him~"
Gabumon didn't seem to understand the superficial meaning of these words, but just followed his heart and agreed with a smile. This seemingly ordinary scene made Saki secretly wipe away tears, and after quickly adjusting his mood, he joked:
"Oh? Will Ah He be an astronaut in the future?"
“I have this idea…”
"I remember that the requirements for official astronauts are very high in all aspects?"
"Come on, Ah He"
"Ok!"
Nia stood quietly beside Saki, looked down at the planet below, then looked up at Saki who was not out of breath, his legs were not shaking, and his face was not changing, and her head tilted.
"Teacher, are you not afraid of heights now?"
"How should I put it? It's too high and feels like a sticker. There's no feeling at all."
As he spoke, Saki moved his gaze upwards, looking towards the dark, unfamiliar space further away.
"It looks more dangerous over there by comparison."
"...I don't understand it at all."
"Ah! I understand!"
Hearing the sound, a pink-haired girl with two balls on her head suddenly appeared next to him, and fiercely grasped Saki's hand, with her heterochromatic eyes flashing with the light of finding a confidant.
"It's really lonely when you're floating in the universe alone and your thrusters and communicators are out of control! It's scary! Teacher! I understand you!"
Saki: “…”
No, he couldn't understand it at all! Or rather, he could understand it but not completely! Compared to the fear of being alone and helpless in a strange universe waiting to die, his fear, which was similar to a variant of deep-sea phobia, was nothing.
After watching Alias leave, Nia raised her head again and said casually:
"What a noisy child."
"It's good to be lively at this age."
"But isn't that a bit too optimistic?"
Nia still remembered that these people were still in distress, floating in the starry sky thousands of light years away from their hometown, and there was a pair of dark hands waiting in the dark. They could still be so lively at this time, which only showed that these children were really carefree.
After the brief exchange, Saki continued to look at the scenery of this planet that was different from his hometown, while Nia quietly raised her head, someone's profile reflected in her amber eyes. She subconsciously stood on tiptoe with her red high heels, measured the distance, and then stood there silently.
Why are you so tall?
I want to drag out the person who said the height difference is the most beautiful and hang him.jpg
Nia muttered to herself, hoping that someone would react after hearing it. Then she felt a pair of big hands on her head. After someone took advantage of her height to rub her head, she turned around and walked in one direction.
"It's time to rest. Keep going. I can hear the bell."
Nia: “…”
He actually ran away after masturbating!
Treating her like a child at a time like this!
Nia tidied up her hair that was messed up by Saki, gnashed her teeth and looked at someone's back, angrily saying in her heart:
'I'll squeeze you dry when this is over!'
Saki's calves trembled, and he waved to Abi who came over worriedly to show that he was fine. Then, his gaze towards the front became extremely deep.
Looks like a certain cat needs to figure out where he stands tonight!
Come on! Let's fight it out... But let's put these aside for now.
We have arrived at Paradise.
During the short break of two or three minutes, the students who were specially released from the Yama Pavilion by the Red Yama followed the ethereal bell sound, led by Lex and other people from the Netherworld, and swarmed towards the "endless" field in the memory of the Holy Grail of Heaven. However, Saki slowed down after taking a few steps in the lead, and hung at the end of the team with Nia, whose face became complicated, and several other teachers and students who had been spoiled, silently watching and listening to the backs of the teachers and students in front who had no idea what they were about to see.
The students' gasps and cheers filled with joy and anticipation came to an abrupt end after they passed through the entrance gate of the artificial ecosystem.
On the endless fields, flowers are blooming and birds are singing... None of these imagined scenes are there. What is there is just yellow sand all over the sky, a dead desert that is countless times more desolate than Spebbia and without any life.
“What the hell is going on?!!!”
Volume 675 Return to the Netherworld, the Day the World is Saved: Chapter Chapter The Truth about Paradise, Seeing God
What kind of place is paradise for the people in the underworld?
The legendary life-saving straw, the Garden of Eden in mythology...that's about it.
No need to worry about the depletion of energy, no need to worry about the earth dying and sinking one day...but it's just a fantasy after all.
