Please stop persecuting your students!

The entire orbital tower - the paradise is shaking! And the amplitude is getting stronger and stronger!

Volume 683 Return to the Netherworld, the Day to Save the World: Chapter May your tomorrow be the tomorrow you wish for today

The orbital towers were shaking.

The centripetal force and pseudo-gravity generating components located outside the orbital ring lost their energy supply the moment the Zohar disappeared. This orbital tower built on a scientific system born out of the Zohar instantly stepped onto the brink of collapse.

This was not something that could be created by the technology of mankind at that time. Whether it was the Siren Army, Eternal Calamity, or the Orbital Tower, everything created by mankind at that time was based on the mysterious, huge, and unknown cornerstone of the Gate. Now that the cornerstone has disappeared, the superstructure has been stripped of its underlying support and naturally can only collapse like a bubble.

The orbit around the entire earth will be fine, that thing is above the synchronous orbit. The real problem is the orbital tower itself. The part outside the synchronous orbit will be thrown out of the earth at the first cosmic speed, and the part inside the orbit will be torn apart. The orbital tower in the range of 10,000 meters to 2 million meters, with a minimum weight of 10 billion tons, will fall directly into the earth, bringing a disaster comparable to or even exceeding the meteorite that caused species extinction 65 million years ago.

"Sixty-five million years ago?"

"Is it the impact theory that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs?"

Kou Shilang recalled something and explained:

"One of the arguments in the scientific community about the Cretaceous extinction is that a large meteorite hit the earth, causing the extinction of dinosaurs, after which birds and mammals were able to develop. But I remember that this theory lacks evidence to support it and is just a guess..."

Saki: "The impact point is suspected to be Mexico, and the diameter of the meteorite is about ten kilometers. This is evidence and speculation that will only be found in the past few years, and it should not have existed in your era."

Taiyi, Guangzilang (1999), etc.: "..."

No way, you can even spoil this?

Is it too late to ask the teacher for future stock and sports event information now?

"But if it was a collision, then as long as we stay away from the impact point, we should be fine, right?"

"If it hits the continent, it will raise dust that covers the planet for more than a year. If it falls into the ocean, it will bring heavy rainfall that will last for more than a few years. The result is the same."

"...I see, this is the species that is going extinct."

"Lack of light for many years will cause a large number of plants to die, and the food chain will collapse layer by layer..."

Then, the people of the Netherworld would starve to death - even with the help of the Blades who were proficient in agriculture, the agricultural level of the Netherworld people was far from enough to supply food for hundreds of thousands of people without the sun.

After all, the knowledge accumulated by the Blades actually came from humans in an earlier period, so it is naturally impossible for them to surpass humans. After losing the light, the productivity of the underworld is estimated to be less than that of the First Industrial Revolution, and it can only perish in the darkness.

Literally the end of the world!

A group of students suddenly became anxious.

"That must be stopped!"

"We finally defeated all the enemies, how can we let the Netherworld be destroyed like this!"

"The problem is..."

Unlike others who were emotionally excited, Zack still had a blank expression on his face, but the hand holding his glasses was trembling slightly.

"This is an orbital elevator that weighs at least 10 billion tons, and most likely over 50 billion tons! How can we stop this thing from falling down?"

"this..."

Yes.

What else can they do?

Taichi and Agumon, who were called over by Saki to talk to one another, did not show much panic on their faces. Their eyes were focused on Saki, but Saki moved his eyes to the other side of the hangar. Rex and others arrived late and shouted from a distance:

"Teacher! Everyone! Next, let's go to the power room!"

"Power room?"

"Yes! Hikari and Homura said that if they detonated the remaining energy in the power room, they could blow the paradise away!"

"Then we can rely on the strength of Hong-sensei and Saki-sensei to dodge the impact... that's a solution!"

“Without further delay—!”

"Go this way! This is the shortcut!"

Xiaolu pointed casually, and after Red Yama quickly took a group of people into the Yama Pavilion, the remaining group of people, led by Lex, ran in the direction Xiaolu pointed.

Saki fell to the back, with Nia leaning against his side. The two turned their eyes to the girl who also did not move, with an indescribable strange expression on her face. Seeing their actions, [Soul] smiled helplessly:

"I can't hide it from the teacher after all..."

"...Sort of."

Saki jumped down from a mass-produced machine with its head removed, walked up to the Soul, and looked past her in the direction they came from - the hangar of the Eternal Salvation Device.

"Except for the solar energy device that has long been shut down, the rest of the energy for the orbital tower is supplied by the gate. There may be some energy in the power room, but there is no way that there is enough energy left to blow up the main body of the orbital tower. If we want to blow up the orbital tower, we can only detonate another thing."

"...Yes."

[Soul] closed his eyes, avoiding the gazes of Saki and Nia, and at the same time suppressed the sadness and reluctance that was about to erupt in his heart.

"There is still some energy from the gate left in the Eternal Tribulation Device. Only by using that can we destroy Paradise...the Orbital Tower."

Although this was information he had known for a long time, Saki couldn't help but frown.

"Is there no other way? Like remote controlled detonation or something?"

"If the gate is still there, it can be done, but... and the fight just now was a little intense."

There was a hint of bitterness in the smile on [Soul]'s face.

The gate that served as the transit point has disappeared. Even if Mie has disappeared, she would not be able to remotely control the Eternal Tribulation Device to self-destruct... On the other hand, if the gate was still there, these bad things would not have happened.

It's quite unsolvable.

But she has made up her mind that some things need to be done by someone else.

Perhaps Lex would be sad and upset. But there was nothing she could do about it, she also wanted to protect this world that Lex liked, she also liked, where countless creatures they liked lived.

According to the information given by "Father", the sea of ​​clouds covering the netherworld...Earth is also disappearing at this moment, and the vast land that she and Saki saw when they went to other worlds, the real paradise is about to appear. It's not easy to get to this point, if Rex can't see the paradise because of her reluctance, wouldn't it be a pity?

so...

"teacher"

[Soul] raised its head and looked at Saki. There was no trace of reluctance or fear in her smile or those beautiful emerald eyes. All that was left was determination, as well as hope and longing for the beautiful future that she would personally create.

Then, he bowed slightly.

"Lex just...please!"

You have teachers... and everyone in school, so many friends here, even without me, you will definitely be able to live happily, Lex!

Volume 684 Return to the Netherworld, the Day of Saving the World: Chapter Chapter Let's Go, Save the World

A multiple choice question.

In a sense, it is an advanced multiple-choice question of the trolley problem.

The world is about to be destroyed, but there are two solutions to save it.

The first option, although it involves some risks, can control the damage within a certain range. There is an 80% chance that the crisis can be resolved, and there is a 60% probability that no one will be injured in the process. The overall environment will be slightly affected, but it will not be a big deal.

Yue, Fei Qun'857663 The second plan does not require any risk, just sacrifice one girl... or two? It will definitely save the world and eliminate the crisis fundamentally. No one except them will be hurt, and the environment will not be affected.

...For normal people, it is self-evident which option to choose.

An 80% chance is not small, but there is also a 20% chance of failure. The reality is not a fantasy. There is not enough room for people to pursue so-called love and ideals, and to fight with passion and courage without the possibility of anyone sacrificing.

After all, if things go wrong it could mean the extinction of humanity. If there is no second option from the beginning it would be fine to give it a try, but if there is a more reliable plan, no one would be willing to take that chance.

What's more, the person involved also thinks so.

Secondly, even if it is said to be a sacrifice, there is a 60 to 70 percent chance that it will not be a complete sacrifice, and there is still a possibility of resurrection... No matter how you think about it, the second option is the best choice, the correct choice. I believe that no matter who faces this problem, even those related to the person involved, will quickly come to this conclusion.

Saki is an extreme case.

He is a person who has experienced the destruction of the world he originally lived in, and a "victim" who watched his family disappear in the light because of the "selfish desires" of others. It is not a deliberate choice of one person or multiple people, but a balance between an individual and the entire world and civilization.

There will be no hesitation, and it is impossible to hesitate. This is a question that is clear at a glance and the answer has already been figured out in my mind as soon as I saw the question.

Rather than betting on an 80% chance of saving the world, it would be better to bet on the remaining 60% chance of the sacrificed girl coming back to life. Considering what Klaus had Guangyan bring him, this possibility could be raised even higher... There's no reason to think about this multiple-choice question.

"...I would have chosen this half a month ago."

Saki sighed slowly.

The girl made up her mind that she would use her body to pave the way for the future for the person and world she loved, with a strange light flashing in her eyes.

It's like rushing out of the sea of ​​fire while hugging a baby, using the not-so-straight and not-so-broad back to replace the collapsed beams, and creating a sky for the child...Yes!

That is the glory called 'motherhood'!

It was so dazzling that even Saki, who liked people like Nia, found it difficult to look away.

He had no reason to refuse the plea and entrustment from such a "mother". The other party knew very well that as long as she could get past him, she would be able to stop Lex from committing suicide for love, which he would definitely do.

Unfortunately...

"...Hmm?"

Nia's ears twitched, and she turned her head to look behind her. The group that had just left with Rex had returned, and the number of people had further decreased. Before she got close, she heard Taichi and Agumon shouting from afar:

"Teacher! Everything is ready here!"

"Eh? Prepare? What's going on...?!!"

The unexpected change caught the [Soul] off guard. Her pupils shrank and the image predicted by the law of causality made her subconsciously want to react. Just as she was about to move, Saki's eyes lit up quietly, and a blue light appeared on the [Soul]'s body. The step she intended to take to the side froze in mid-air.

The next moment, a crimson figure flashed behind her, and a huge rattan box fell on her head. [Soul] felt a flash of darkness before her eyes, and the moment her body, which was blocked by the high-density spiritual power, regained its freedom, she blurted out the words that she had not been able to say just now:

"Teacher, please don't——"

But it was still a step too late.

The prediction of the law of causality is visible, but what is the speed of Red Yama? Without distorting the laws of physics, Red Yama is the fastest in Tianshen Primary School, and no one can escape his surprise attack.

Birds are singing, flowers are blooming, and trees are shady. Red-roofed illegal buildings lean against the mountains and stand on an island in the middle of the river. [Soul] stands at the edge of the misty forest, beside the confluence of the Sanzu River, staring blankly at the scenery that has become extremely familiar after all this time.

Yama Pavilion.

The teacher rejected her request and sent her here by force.

If Zohar still had the power to make her wish come true, then such a small space would not be able to stop her, right? But there is no if.

The words of refusal came to an abrupt end. After a brief moment of daze and understanding of the current situation, the [Soul] trembled and knelt on the ground, overlooking the endless flow of the Sanzu River. Her delicate body trembled constantly and tears as big as beans kept falling.

The thin backbone that was strong enough to support the collapsed pillar of heaven had its foothold taken away, and the determination that was made with great difficulty collapsed. Fear, reluctance, uneasiness, nostalgia... and the shameful gratitude for surviving the disaster kept surging in his heart.

If possible, wouldn't she want to travel the whole new world as the girlfriend of the person she loves, rather than lose her life as a dedicated 'guardian'?

She also wanted to survive. Ever since she established a relationship with Lex, she could feel a happiness and joy every day that was completely different from the past. How could she not want to keep this joy going?

But no, Paradise... Someone has to stop the collapse of the orbital tower, and she has to stop it. The teachers and their power alone cannot stop an object of that mass from falling into the netherworld. It has to be her, and only she can stop it, but she——

I feel lucky that my teacher stopped me from dying!

Although the netherworld would be destroyed, she was grateful that she was able to survive!

That was the world that she and Lex loved so much!

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry, Lex...I couldn't protect anything...I'm sorry..."

The girl by the river kept sobbing. The boy who appeared on the other side of the river at some point raised his hand, seemed to want to say something but stopped himself. Finally, he silently stepped onto the winding bridge and walked towards the other side.

......

Outside, in the low orbit station, inside the hangar, after confirming that Red Enma had captured Guangyan, Sakuchi's eyes dimmed with blue light, he lowered his head to look at Catwoman who had reached out to grab his sleeve at some point, then grabbed Nia's wrist with his backhand and turned to walk towards Taichi and the others.

Taichi, Agumon, Jeanne, Chiron, Kirby, Meiru, plus him, Nia, and Red Enma... a total of nine people, plus Guangyan who cannot be released for the time being and needs to calm down in the Enma Pavilion, a total of ten people.

Walking in front of the elites from Tenjin Elementary School who had been waiting for a long time, Saki casually tore open a gap, without much emotion in his tone.

“This is truly the last battle.”

"Let's go save the world!"

""oh!!!""

The probability is not 100%...then use your hands to make it 100%!

Perhaps from the perspective of benefits and disadvantages, the second option is indeed correct, the most effective and safest. However...

People who do stupid things are human beings.

not to mention...
