Please stop persecuting your students!

Paradise is fine, but it has nothing to do with us - this is a very common concept for the people of the Netherworld. After all, many people in this era may never leave the Arus where they were born in their lifetime, and exploring paradise is nonsense.

Since it doesn't matter whether they go or not, what does it matter to them whether the paradise exists or not? Just treat it as a story.

Rex's previous level was only slightly higher than this one. He was willing to believe in the existence of paradise, but that was all. It changed the moment he met Yan.

'Paradise' naturally changed from a dreamland that he 'wanted to believe in' to the 'promised place', 'a place that undoubtedly existed'.

The location is right on top of the unreachable World Tree!

Not only can you realize your wish of becoming a savior + most important partner + girlfriend (relationship confirmed), but you can also find a glimmer of hope for the currently precarious underworld, having the best of both worlds.

But...what is this?

What did he see?

"Impossible... It shouldn't be like this! Where's the grass?! Where's the trees? Where's the river? I can clearly see them all—"

Yellow sand, yellow sand, only yellow sand!

There is dust floating in the sky and the ground is covered with yellow sand. I'm afraid there are no bacteria or fungi or anything like that. Only the most basic inorganic matter is floating in this vast space.

The utopia of the ghost world people...is this it?

Even Xiaolu didn't care about being shocked or sad for a moment. Instead, she looked worriedly at the young man who had already run to the familiar yet unfamiliar hill, and hurried to catch up.

She couldn't imagine how Lex, who had always regarded going to Paradise and finding a way out for the people of the Underworld as his mission and direction, would feel after seeing such a scene again - it was ironic to say that in the original book, Lex dared to say "leave the future to the people of the future", and the source of his confidence was in Paradise.

Not only that, he brought a large group of friends with him, stepping on the corpses of countless people including Ira and others to get to this point, relying on the obsession of going to paradise and finding the answer as long as he got there. As a result, he turned around and was pinned to the ground and had his ears cleaned by reality. This is why Klaus was questioned by all his friends in his illusion but could only escape.

"It shouldn't be that serious now."

I didn't experience as many sacrifices as in the original work. Although I gained some insights in the virtual world, it was still virtual after all. Besides, whether it was McPennie or Ira's group, it was all carried out by Saki... The most important thing is that the core of the current large team is no longer him, and it is no longer the obsession to go to the paradise, but it was Saki who made it happen. The purpose is not to go to the paradise, but to go sightseeing and deal with those who want to destroy the underworld. After so many changes, I think there will be no more guilt.

not to mention...

Saki glanced at the crowd. Apart from Lex and Xiaolu who had the biggest reaction, and Sieg and other people from the Netherworld who reacted the second, most of the people from Tianshen Elementary School were simply lamenting that they could see such a desolate scenery in a technological creation. There were even quite a few people who didn't show any emotion at all when seeing such a scenery.

For example, Zack, who was squatting down and using the environmental detector on his space suit to check the composition of sand and stone, did not show any fluctuation on his zombie face, which seemed to be as expressionless as a robot.

"As expected."

"Hmm? Did Zack already guess that?"

"what."

Zack pushed up his glasses, stood up, and scanned the desolate Gobi Desert.

"The World Tree is obviously a man-made structure similar to a rail elevator, so the 'wilderness' inside the World Tree is probably also part of an artificial greenhouse or artificial ecosystem. Guang and Yan were taken away from the World Tree five hundred years ago, which means that this ecosystem has existed for more than five hundred years, or even longer. Apart from the automatic defense machines, there are no signs of other biological activities on the way here."

Even if some equipment is still operating on its own, it is easy to imagine what the consequences will be for an artificial ecosystem that lacks external regulation and maintenance, is isolated from the outside world, and lacks species diversity for a period of time ranging from 500 years to more than 4,000 years.

Either there are still some long-lived plants with the ability to feign death and are resistant to drought and diseases left, or there is nothing left like what is happening before our eyes. It's just a matter of how serious the problem is, and it's not going to be any better anyway.

A group of people followed Lex and the others up the hill, overlooking the ruins of the dilapidated village in the distance. Even though they didn't have much expectations, they still couldn't help feeling depressed. Then... they saw Saki took the first step, stepping on the sand, and walked towards the only well-preserved European-style church that made Abby's eyes shine.

The melodious bell sounds from there, and it is the only place that is worth noting in this place.

Saki led the way in that direction, mumbling to himself in a normal voice:

"With so many people, I don't know if we can fit them all in."

The reason why he said he was talking to himself was because his question had no specific direction, but...

"No problem... Come on, guests from afar, and... my children."

Everyone: “!!!!!!”

Fuck! It's haunted! Someone is actually answering!

A group of students were as if they were facing a great enemy, alert to the unknown existence that was transmitting the sound to them. Of course, the students from the technology side and modern society reacted faster, and subconsciously began to look for equipment such as speakers and surveillance cameras in the vast yellow sand.

Xiaolu was not too panicked, but stared at the direction of the church, confused:

"Father...sir?"

"What?!"

"Father of the Holy Grail of Heaven, does that mean this voice is... God?!"

The Creator God of the Netherworld was talking to them and inviting them? !

No, the more important thing is——

Melev and Sieg looked at Saki in front of them with surprise and confusion in their eyes.

Did this man already know that God was watching them, which is why he asked that question?

Saki, who received countless looks, did not say much. In his hand, there appeared an iron box with rough welding marks on the four corners and no gaps. After giving a wink to the three Heroic Spirit teachers, he casually held the iron box and led the way to the church.

Volume 676: Return to the Underworld, the Day the World is Saved: Chapter 4 That's enough, Klaus (K)

The pitch-black corridor stretched infinitely into the distance, as if it would never end. Only the dim emergency light in the corner guided the way forward, preventing people from bumping into the wall.

How long had he been walking here? Ten minutes? Twenty minutes? Less than thirty seconds?

The dark and deserted environment caused the boy's most basic sense of time to fail, and he misjudged the current situation. Fortunately, he still remembered the teachings of his teachers in his heart, and did not forget to recognize the current situation in such an environment.

In the process of chasing Mie, they came to the paradise in Guangyan's memory, and then followed the voice that seemed to be "God" to the church, walked into an underground passage, and then...

My friends suddenly disappeared!

A total of fifty people, both teachers and students, disappeared without a trace after walking down the thing that Mr. Saki called the "escalator". Then he ran to the only designated passage in a panic.

The boy's pace slowed down, and his IQ once again overwhelmed the panic in his brain and took the upper hand.

Think carefully, why did everyone suddenly disappear? Guangyan and the others were still in the fusion state, and the teachers also had the ability to predict the future, so why did they disappear without any signs? Could the disappeared people really be in front of this passage?

The boy's pace gradually slowed down, and he began to wonder whether he should go back the same way and get back to the ground first. He vaguely remembered that Teacher Jeanne had said in class that one should not run around when lost. The correct approach should be to return to the previous place or to a place with a wide view and wait. He was undoubtedly committing a big taboo by rushing headfirst into a dark and narrow place.

Just as he was thinking this, the dark road around him suddenly changed and a familiar scene appeared in his eyes.

Yellow sand, ruins, church, and a familiar figure standing in front of the ruins, seemingly reminiscing about something. The boy's eyes suddenly lit up, and he didn't care why he suddenly appeared outside the church. He hurried forward and shouted from a distance:

"Teacher! Teacher Saki!"

"Hey, isn't this Lex?"

The young man turned around and looked at the boy running towards him with an ambiguous smile. Without waiting for the surprised boy to ask anything, he turned his head again and looked at the vast ruins.

"What a disgusting sight... Is this what it will look like after the destruction of humanity?"

"...Eh?"

Lex's heart skipped a beat and he stopped immediately, looking nervously at the familiar man in front of him.

"teacher?"

Saki turned his head again and looked down at Lex, the smile no longer on his face.

"Lex, you made us use the precious rope to come to this world just to find something like this? Is this the paradise you want to find?"

"No, teacher! I'm not--"

Lex wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say. He stammered for a long time, and finally lowered his head and whispered:

"I just...made an appointment with Homura to go to Paradise together..."

"Flame...ah~"

Saki sighed, but did not perform the classic four-hit fatal move. He jumped onto the top of a ruined wall that had been eroded by more than one third of sand, and looked out at the entire desolate "paradise".

"There was also a reason to seek a place for the people of the Netherworld, right? What a pity, the final result is like this... Although it is a little lacking for the cost of the Crossing Rope, at least McPennie and Ira were solved, so it can be considered a good deal."

"...I'm sorry, Sensei."

"There's nothing to say sorry for... So what's next?"

"Next?"

Lex looked up in confusion. Saki was squatting on the wall, with his hands folded on his knees, looking down at the boy.

"The paradise is like this, so what do you want to do next? I see that you don't seem to be completely desperate. Do you have any ideas?"

Yes.

Even Lex, after seeing the tragic state of the park, was simply disappointed, but his degree of disappointment was far greater than that of others.

But he did not despair.

It is just like a candidate who failed in the independent enrollment of a famous private university, but whose public examination results are still quite satisfactory. Although he cannot choose the best, he is not without a way out and naturally will not feel desperate.

Saki looked at Lex curiously, as if he was genuinely curious about the boy's way out to save the world. The boy was stunned for a moment, scratched the back of his head, and laughed dryly:

"What I'm thinking is, if the Netherworld really has no other options, then we can try to take the people of the Netherworld to another world and see if we can find a place to stay..."

"Leaving your homeland and heading for a new world is a reasonable decision for you."

Saki nodded, then tilted his head.

"And then? How are you going to deal with problems that arise after this?"

"What...question?"

Lex asked back in confusion, subconsciously suppressing the concerns that quietly rose in his heart as Saki asked the question.

As if he was determined to expose the problem that Lex had deliberately ignored and put it in front of him, Saki's eyes gradually turned cold, but his tone remained calm as he spoke:

“It’s a matter of resources.”

"The nature of human society determines that humans cannot imitate wild animals and voluntarily abandon the elderly, weak, sick and disabled when limited resources are scarce. The consumption of resources in a normal human society will snowball every year. With limited resources, how can you ensure that others are willing to selflessly accept a large group of 'humans' from another world with completely different cultures, languages, and even worldviews? Not to mention the Invidians, the Guras, and the Nopons. In the eyes of humans in other worlds, these people are at best aliens who are closer to humans."

"Even if they are accepted by chance and hundreds of thousands of Netherworlders are able to go to a new world, the quality of life and the resources they can use will definitely be very different from those of the natives of that world. If we are not careful, a war between the two worlds will break out."

"How can that kind of thing——"

Lex subconsciously wanted to refute, but Saki's cold glance suppressed all his rebuttals and he said:

"There are problems with what Zhen and McPenny did, but I don't think there is anything wrong with the fundamental logic of their actions... As a newly emerging country five hundred years ago, what did Spebbia do to develop?"

Lex was silent. He was naturally very clear about this matter.

Exploiting the energy of Spebbia Arus to develop industry vigorously, although it enabled Spebbia to quickly catch up with Invidiale in strength from a newly emerging country five hundred years ago, it also caused Spebbia to decline earlier than any other super-large Arus. After that, it held high the banner of resources and resolutely launched a battle for Gula against the old superpower Invidiale.

Perhaps the current king of Spebbia, who was too young to be true, was a dove, but what about the next one? What about Invidiale? What about Losuria? Taking a step back, what about profit-seeking businessmen like Barn? No one could guarantee that the people of the netherworld who had preserved the technology and industrial system of the other world after arriving in the new world would not show their fangs to the people of the other world after they stabilized, especially when it seemed that most of the other worlds did not have a crushing advantage over the netherworld.

Although they don't have missiles, they have beam cannons like the Doraemon and inexhaustible energy like ether. Arus has the innate ability to fly. The Blade Masters have individual combat capabilities that few worlds can match, not to mention their numbers. President Barn is still alive, and as long as the major countries are willing to unite to fight against the "foreign enemies", they can produce artificial blades at any time... In terms of military power alone, they are not inferior to conventional modern society.

Fordola, Astra, Hinamizawa, Shugo Chara, Type-Moon, Digital, Digital-Reality, among the worlds currently 'bordering' Tenjin Elementary School, there are at least three worlds where the people of the netherworld are able to perish together with the 'local natives'.

The history of war in the Netherworld is there, who can guarantee that there will be no problems? No one can guarantee it.

Even if Lex could use the invincible power of his soul to suppress... well, suppress it for a lifetime, and forcibly restrain the desires of his compatriots, he could only do so while he was alive.

He will die, and Saki will die too, but the conflict will always be there, and sooner or later it will explode after they grow old and die.

"...and then the world will end."

Saki slowly stood up and looked down at the young man who was speechless because of his overly naive thoughts and cruel reality, his eyes were cold enough to penetrate his heart.

"You knew this would happen, yet you still said in front of me the nonsense of planting the seeds of world destruction in other worlds... Lex, I never thought I would teach a student like you. What's the difference between you and McPenny?"

"No, teacher! I——"

Pa~!

Without giving Lex any chance to explain, the young man slapped something on his forehead. His emerald green hair spread out behind him, and his eyes, as warm as jade, were filled with an inhuman coldness.

Soul...Transformer!

"That's enough. You are not qualified to be my student. You have become a pest like McPenny, a threat to the entire world!"

"Then it should be removed!"

?Monthly fee group;85!66,3,,4?;4"２ After saying that, Saki raised his hand, and the boy subconsciously drew out the Holy Grail Sword that had turned back to gold, but was frightened and took several steps back.

The next moment, billions of thunders fell from the sky accompanied by someone's actions, tearing the barren land into pieces!

The next moment, the young man lying on the wooden floor woke up and let out a miserable howl-

"I'm dead? I was beaten to death by the teacher?!"

The young man's voice paused, and he subconsciously touched his entire body, his face showing fear and an indescribable weirdness.

"No, I don't think I'm dead? And this is..."

Lex looked around, and an endless sea of ​​white clouds came into view. Looking back, he saw a dragon head with green mane and as solid as a rock, quietly looking back at him. It was a face he had not seen for more than a month.
